Chapter 239: The Old Taoist Priest Who Rides a Deer
"Did the sect elder take the wrong medicine or did he go crazy in his practice, and will he arrange a sect task for you?" Han Da opened his mouth without thinking, and by the way, he looked at Zhou Ze as if he was looking at an idiot.
"I'm also a disciple of the sect, what's so strange about doing a sect mission?"
Zhou Ze thought he was very fierce and glanced at Han Da, I don't know if it was because of Zhao An by his side, Zhou Ze has been a lot bolder recently, and occasionally he can quarrel with Han Da.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Zhao An hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't quarrel yet, Senior Brother Zhou, tell me what your sect's mission is first?"
After all, Zhao Anzhong was really curious, what kind of tasks would the sect arrange for Zhou Ze, after all, the inner disciples like them received tasks such as eradicating evil cultivators and investigating demon spots.
But with a pure and harmless temperament like Zhou Ze, I'm afraid that before he got to the devil, he was already eaten alive and cooked and eaten directly.
"The task that the sect has asked me to do is very dangerous. Zhou Ze took a deep breath, his face was extremely serious, and he said seriously, "I need to protect an old Taoist priest and escort him safely from here to Qingyuan City." ”
"To Qingyuan City, as far as I know, the demon spots have been frequent recently, the demon path activities are frequent, and the places that pass through this road are the places where the demon spot activities are the most rampant, ordinary mortals will be killed by monsters if they are not careful, who is the old Taoist? Why do you want to go to Qingyuan City at this time?"
Zhao An frowned slightly, and said the question in his heart.
"His identity sect didn't tell me, only that I would serve him like my own father. But Senior Brother Zhao, I have been carried by my master to the mountain gate since I was a child, I have never seen my father and mother, and I have never served my father, I really don't know what to do with this task. Zhou Ze cried with a sad face and looked at Zhao An helplessly.
Zhao An suddenly became angry.
He thought that Zhou Ze was worrying about something, but he didn't expect that the other party was not worried about the task itself, but because he didn't know how to serve his "father"!
Although Zhou Ze is unrivaled in Dao talent, he is clearly a fool in other aspects.
Sure enough, the way of heaven is fair.
For a moment, Zhao An felt a trace of comfort inexplicably in his heart.
"What's so difficult about this!" Han Da glanced at Zhou Ze disdainfully, turned his head and spat on the ground, and said, "You will serve Lao Tzu as your own father from now on, don't you know how to serve your father, come, call your father to listen." ”
As soon as these words came out, no matter how stupid Zhou Ze was, he could hear that Han Da was scolding him, and his face suddenly turned red, pointing at Han Da and wanting to scold him, but he was stupid and couldn't scold, and pointed his finger at the other party for a long time, and only held back the word "roll".
After scolding, Zhou Ze looked at Zhao An again for help.
"Well, it's your first time going down the mountain, so I'll accompany you on a trip. Zhao An said.
"Really, great!" Zhou Ze suddenly said happily, "Then without further ado, let's hurry up now, don't let the old man wait for us." ”
Zhao An nodded, turned to Han Dadao, "Senior Brother Han, Senior Brother Zhou and I will say goodbye here first, and then we will discuss with you after returning to the sect." ”
"Lao Tzu will also go with you. Han Da spat and put his arm comfortably on Zhou Ze's shoulder, "No one in the sect has ever accompanied me, and my bones are soft every day, if this journey is really as you said, it is just against Lao Tzu's appetite, and you can have a good fight." ”
"Moreover, along the way, I am going to teach this grandson how to serve his father. ”
Han Da grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and Zhou Ze's legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground.
A few days later, early in the morning, Zhao An and the three of them waited there early in accordance with the location specified in the sect's mission.
That's most of the day.
Seeing the sun hanging high above their heads, although the three of them were not afraid of the sun, they were also a little troubled.
"Waste, are you in the wrong place, don't talk about the old Taoist priest in this broken place, there is not even a ghost. Han Da and the others were impatient and spoke.
"No, I came from the place on the mission, I can't be wrong. Zhou Ze scratched his head, his left hand turned slightly in front of him, and in the middle of the mantra in his mouth, a palm-sized golden disc appeared on the palm of his hand.
The golden disc is octagonal, and several directions such as "east, south, west, and north" are marked on it, and in the middle of the disk, there is a small cold jade spoon, which is actually a fixer.
Different from the ordinary fixer, the one in front of me is completely made of spiritual power, and the spirit on it is brilliant, and every time the ice cold jade spoon rotates, a little frost white will emerge, like falling snow, and the subtlety is not much higher than other fixers, which is Zhou Ze casually painted with the frost pen of the ten directions.
Zhao An looked at the fixer in Zhou Ze's hand in amazement, at first he thought that Zhou Ze's pen could only draw talismans, but he didn't expect that even such a delicate magic weapon could be drawn.
"I've used the fixer many times, and the location indicated in the mission is clearly here. Zhou Ze opened his mouth suspiciously.
As he was talking, Zhou Ze's eyes suddenly lit up, "Here?!"
Zhao An and Han Da hurriedly looked at the source of the voice, and saw that at the end of the road ahead, sure enough, an old man in a Taoist robe, with white beard and hair, was walking in their direction.
The old Taoist priest looked like he was seventy or eighty years old, his face was full of wrinkles, but his body was extremely tough, and he walked without the staggering appearance of an old man in the mortal world, but his face was quiet and peaceful, perhaps because the weather was too hot, the old Taoist priest wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve robe while walking, and he looked a little hard to walk.
"Is that him?" Zhao An asked.
"It's not. Zhou Ze looked at it carefully, and then shook his head, "The mission said that I want to protect an old Taoist priest who rides a deer, and there are no deer by his side." ”
"Strange, it stands to reason that at this place and time, another old Taoist priest appeared, it should be him. ”
As he was talking, the old Taoist priest had already walked in front of the three of them, and seeing that Zhao An and the three of them were staring at him directly, the old Taoist priest showed a trace of doubt on his face, and then stopped and asked with a smile, "Three little brothers, do you know the poor Dao?"
Zhou Ze shook his head honestly.
Zhao An and Han Da released their divine senses almost at the same time, and carefully looked at the old Taoist priest from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside.
"One mortal, no cultivation. ”
The two glanced at each other the next moment, and quietly withdrew their divine senses.
The body of the old Taoist priest in front of him is like a pool of clear water, and even without the two of them deliberately probing, they can easily see the bottom at a glance, and see the flesh and blood structure clearly, and there is no spiritual power in the body, just a mortal.
It's just that I don't know if it's because of the old Taoist's perennial cultivation, the old Taoist's body doesn't have a trace of dirt and magazines, pure and clean like a newborn baby, the limbs in the body are hundreds, the muscles, bones and blood are even smoother, and it is a natural spirit.
This discovery surprised Zhao Anxinzhong.
You must know that for monks, in addition to the talent of cultivation, the body of a cultivator is also an extremely crucial part. The less impurities in the body, the better the absorption of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and the faster the improvement of cultivation.
And every time Zhao Anxiu breaks through, the black and slimy dirt discharged from his body is the impurities in his body. Although Zhao An could use the method of improving his cultivation to purify his body, it was completely incomparable to the innate spirit body of the old Taoist.
Seeing that Zhao An and the three of them didn't speak, the old Taoist priest didn't get angry, and smiled slightly, "Can the poor Dao leave now?"
"You please, you please. Zhou Ze was a little embarrassed to speak, and hurriedly dodged aside, making a way for the old Taoist, who nodded lightly at the three of them, and then left.
Han Da stared at the back of the old Taoist priest, and suddenly opened his mouth to ask Zhou Ze, "Are you sure it's a deer rider?" Lao Tzu feels that this old Taoist priest is quite similar. ”
Zhou Ze nodded heavily, "I've watched it several times, and it's indeed an old Taoist priest who rides deer." ”
"Since the mission says so, let's wait, in case we protect the wrong person, the gain outweighs the loss. Although Zhao An said this, his eyes never left the old Taoist, and he always felt that that person was not simple.
Just when the three of them stared at the back of the old Taoist priest with suspicious expressions, suddenly a sound came from the bushes, and then the three of them saw that after the leaves shook for a while, a light and white figure passed by in front of everyone's eyes.
"Bailu?" Zhou Ze exclaimed.
Even Zhao An was dumbfounded, just at that moment, it turned out to be a white deer that came out of nowhere, which startled the old Taoist priest.
The white deer was born extremely beautiful, with a slender neck and slender limbs, a tall and well-proportioned body, a snow-white body, and a pair of big black eyes were looking at the old Taoist priest curiously.
"Little guy, where are you from?" the old Taoist priest slowed down slightly, gently touched Bailu's head, and asked softly.
The white deer naturally couldn't speak, but looked at the old Taoist priest with a pair of big eyes, and suddenly arched his head into the other party's arms, and his hairy head rubbed in the old Taoist's arms, as if he was extremely happy, and he refused to leave no matter what.
"It's really strange, the deer is born psychic, and the white deer is even more precious, often once discovered, it is difficult to escape the fate of detention and hunting, usually most of them are only active in the mountains, how can they appear in this place inexplicably?" Zhao An muttered to himself in confusion.
"What's so strange, this old guy was born with a spirit body, although he is inconspicuous in the crowd, but in the eyes of these spirit birds, he is the purest existence, and he is naturally willing to get close. Han Da glanced at Zhao An with disdain and spoke.
