Chapter 40(1/2)
A cloud was shrouded in the sky above Chengdu Prefecture.
Whether it is the tentative soul car and the Trojan horse that was tentatively slashed the head of the demon in the Trail of the Incense Burner, or Deng Xiaoyi's madness now, there are faint figures of crows and ghosts behind him.
This is no longer a situation that can be solved by one or two people.
After reminding Xu Shujing, Wu Qi became leisurely.
He went to the Dong Temple to meditate early in the morning and obtained the cultivation level of the Three Pure Ones; he returned to the Fuyun Temple in the afternoon to calm down and refine his energy; after nightfall, he focused on drawing the Taoist talisman.
After five consecutive days, a new pilgrim appeared and Wu Qi went down the mountain.
...
The pilgrim is a ten-year-old virgin named Zaoshuang. She wants to take a walk among the mountains, forests, plants and trees.
Zao Frost is born with muscles and bones, and cannot stand on his legs. He has been lying on the bed since he was a child and has never stepped into the mountains and woods outside.
The silkworm farmers' parents burst into tears for this, but they did not give up their daughter. They spent their family wealth and looked for doctors and alchemists everywhere, but no one could cure them.
In the small thatched hut, the window was supported by wooden sticks, and the girl on the bed stared out in a daze.
The sun is getting hotter, and my parents go out early in the morning to do farm work. When it comes to noon and afternoon, the weather is extremely hot and they have to rest under the trees.
She thought to herself, I don’t know what the other end of the mountain is, whether there are as many people as here, whether there are many birds, and whether the moon in the sky will be a little bit crooked.
"Hello."
A young man in green appeared at the window. He held a bamboo stick in his hand and looked very uncomfortable.
"Do you want to go out and have a walk?"
Zao Shuang's eyes lit up, and then she shook her head violently: "No, my parents said that you can't leave with strangers."
"I'm not a human."
The boy said coldly: "I am a demon, a bamboo demon."
"You're actually a monster?"
Zao Shuang became excited: "I actually saw the monster!"
She struggled to hold up and looked at the boy who called himself a bamboo demon in front of her: "Are you lying to me?"
Xiao Zhang glared at her impatiently.
Zao Shuang was startled.
In an instant, Xiao Zhang turned into a bamboo.
"Did you see it? I'm a bamboo demon."
He returned to his teenage form: "Would you like to leave? I'll send you back later. Don't you want to go out?"
Zao Shuang hesitated for a moment: "You won't take me to sell people, right? I heard that some monsters specialize in abducting children..."
“Bad talk.”
Xiao Zhang retorted: "There are far more people selling monsters than people selling people. After all, selling people is illegal, and selling monsters is not illegal."
"You know so much."
Zao Shuang believed it a little.
"Teaching me."
Xiao Zhang said lightly, raised the bamboo stick in his hand and went deep into the window: "Catch it."
Zao Shuang originally wanted to refuse, but somehow, her finger grabbed it disobediently.
It must be this monster who used the magic technique! No matter what I do, I will tell my parents like this when I come back...
The bamboo stick gently brought her, and Xiao Zhang took her out of the house with a sound of frost. She came to her senses. Xiao Zhang was already trotting with her back and getting further and further away from the village.
"Let me down."
"You can't walk."
"You bully people!"
"Then I'll let you down."
"Oh! Help me."
...
The girl was placed on Xiao Zhang's head, her legs drooped from the front of his shoulders, and Xiao Zhang became a mount.
She was still nervous at first, and soon forgot about the trouble of going home. She indulged in the flowers, trees, forests and grass that she had never touched, and loudly directed Xiao Zhang to move forward and backward, enjoying it.
Wu Qi, who was watching all this from a distance, smiled slightly.
Suddenly, the Jing Zhen sword in Wu Qi flew into a camphor tree in the southeast.
The man on the tree was so scared that he fell to the ground and rolled.
"Master, I'm just sleeping..."
He patted the dead leaves on his body: "I saw nothing, I knew nothing, I."
This man looked like he was about forty years old and had a bad beard. He wrapped his head in a small towel, a wide shirt and big sleeves, and his shirt collar was open, exposed to his chest, looking a bit unrestrained.
He grabbed his hand deep into his chest and yawned: "Master, I just slept on it and woke up, it's nothing to do with me."
Wu Qi smiled and said, "I'm looking for you, 日本."
The other party was stunned: "The Taoist priest knows me?"
"Stop pretending."
Wu Qi glanced at him: "Double boy from Chongyang, you know it clearly, otherwise you wouldn't warn it."
When he confessed to Chongyang and Ji Zhan, Wu Qi asked Xu Shujing to check out the silence.
The Teng Yaoqian, who settled in Shu County during the Sui Dynasty in the Former Sui Dynasty, was later replaced by the Tang Dynasty. He became one of the few demons who have the identity recognized by the government.
For many years, Xi Jinping has been a demon broker in Shu County, introducing people to others, and taking on work for others, thereby obtaining a certain amount of reward.
The demons in Shu County recognized him as safe for many years and also gave him face and called him Brother Jing.
For hundreds of years, the dynasty was able to survive the change of dynasties, and the demons were able to rely on their duty.
Don’t ask what shouldn’t be asked, don’t know what shouldn’t be known, and won’t remember what should be forgotten.
"Oh, oh... I'm old and dizzy, and I can't see clearly. It turns out it's Master Wu."
Xi Yan rubbed his eyes and looked like he suddenly realized: "I'll tell you why this young Taoist priest has extraordinary talent and awesomeness..."
Wu Qi smiled: "Make a friend."
"What?"
Xi Yan blinked: "I don't understand what Taoist priest said."
“Literally.”
Wu Qi said: "You are destined to be with me and want to get to know you."
Xu Shujing's words inspired Wu Qi.
Since my base camp is in Chengdu Prefecture and I have been practicing here for a long time, it is necessary to make some friends.
Some friends meet with each other with fate, such as Xu Shujing, relieved and white jade flute, and some friends need to take the initiative to get to know each other.
Just like the one in front of you.
"I need your information. Therefore, if you want to make friends, I will take action if you need it in the future."
Wu Qi's straightforward words made Xiao Yan froze for a moment.
"The Taoist priest is so refreshing and honest."
The Teng Yao immediately said: "It is a great honor to be able to meet the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest is worthy of being the son of the 'Sword', and his spirit and cultivation are far superior to the same group."
Wu Qi was not surprised.
In the past, Shushan Yujian Pavilion was also famous in Chengdu. It’s not that Yujian Pavilion is so powerful. In front of the Five Dao and Seven Temples, Yujian Pavilion at its peak was also very different from them.
Yujian Pavilion relies on its indomitable momentum and courage to move forward, no matter whether it is drought, floods or monsters, the monks of Yujian Pavilion will have the courage to attack and will not pretend to be deaf and dumb to cherish their feathers.
At that time, the sign of Yujian Pavilion was "Sword" Wu Zhengyan, who was like a sharp sword and had compassion.
This style seems unique among a group of sects that are transcendent and secular, but is highly respected by the people at the bottom.
However, it was very easy to break. The battle of Shanmenxia in Youzhou caused heavy losses to Yujian Pavilion. From then on, it was renamed Fuyun Temple and was no longer determined.
"Since I'm a friend, I want to ask fellow Taoists a question."
Xiying smiled and turned his back: "This may be a bit rude, but I have always wanted to know that I will never leak the secrets."
He came over and whispered: "There are rumors that Master Wu Guan was originally a disciple of Guigu Cave in Longhu Mountain... I don't know if it is true?"
Wu Qi was surprised: "There is still this?"
"Dao Master doesn't know?"
