"Master, how do you tell the story without a head?" Zhao Lingwei said dissatisfiedly, "Shouldn't we hurry up and find the finger chef you said at the moment, how can we have time to idle here." ”

Dongfang Miao saw that Zhao Lingwei couldn't bear it, and comforted her softly: "Sister Wei, don't be anxious, the reason why the real person told us this story must have a great relationship with going to Huqiao Mountain, and listen patiently to his old man." ”

Yuxian Zhenren glanced at the two of them and continued: "It's not difficult to know the whereabouts of the finger pan, so you turn around and take a look at the woods diagonally behind. ”

The three of Yu Wenlei turned around to look at the letter and obeyed the instructions, only to see that the green waves were raised everywhere in the distance, and the red walls and green tiles in the depths of the green sea were hidden behind it, like a small fishing village.

At this time, although it was already cold in winter, the woods were still verdant, and there was no sense of slaughter and bleakness. Yu Wenlei became curious, pointed to the woods and asked, "Master, why don't the trees there lose their leaves, and they don't seem to be pines, don't all trees except pines and cypresses lose their leaves in winter?"

Zhao Lingwei smiled when she heard this: "Brother Lei is really rare and strange, there are many trees that don't fall leaves in winter." ”

As she spoke, she folded her fingers and counted them one by one, "Don't talk about pines and cypresses, other trees such as magnolias, camphor trees, and grains don't shed their leaves, so it's not surprising." ”

Yuxian Zhenren continued: "Although these trees that Wei'er said do not lose their leaves in winter, that forest is a kind of tree unique to this place, called Yu Liu.

Yu Liu is as magical as Yu Yuanhai, it is not only evergreen all year round, but also tough and extremely corrosion-resistant, so it is the most suitable for shipbuilding. What is even more rare is that this tree has the wonderful ability of 'leaves fall back to the roots, and Longquan sword returns'. ”

The more Yu Wenlei listened, the more confused he became, so he had to ask, "What does Master mean by this?"

Yuxian Zhenren let out a sigh and said, "That fishing village is not very far from here, let's talk while walking, and I will go to the village to visit an old man I haven't seen in thirty years." He walked as he spoke.

On the way, Zhao Lingwei stared at the big black eyes, raised her eyes to look at the master, and asked playfully: "Master, is your old man a man or a woman? If it is a woman, I will calculate, I have not seen it for thirty years, and the master is sixty this year-" As he spoke, he tilted his head and counted carefully.

Yuxian Zhenren laughed and laughed, and said angrily: "If Wei'er talks nonsense again, as a teacher, she will use the head but skull technique to put this ugliest skeleton on your head!" After speaking, he flipped his hand, and suddenly a skeleton lit up in his hand.

Seeing this, Zhao Lingwei was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her head with her hands, swooped out, stood far away on the side of the road, and kept shouting: "Master's apprentice is wrong, I don't dare anymore!"

Yuxian Zhenren glanced at her, ignored it no longer, and continued to say as he walked: "The so-called 'leaves fall back to the roots, Longquan Sword Hui' means that after this Yu willow is cut down, it will be soaked in the Yu Yuan Sea, and let it drift freely, and it will always return to the coast closest to Yu Liulin. Therefore, fishermen like to use it to build ships, and they will definitely not get lost at sea. ”

Dongfang Miao read the scriptures and said: "Heaven and earth have aura, miscellaneous manifolds, four seasons have clear laws, and all things have reason." Maybe that Yu Liu has a spirituality, so even if it was cut down and made into a raft, there are still inextricable links between them, so they can do everything possible to find their hometown. ”

Yu Wenlei nodded and said, "The Oriental girl is reasonable. As far as I know, the aura of the essence of plants and trees is not as good as that of us humans, and if they want to attain enlightenment, they need a very long period of time, and the stored aura is more abundant, and sometimes even if the main body is not there, they can still exist in the world by relying on the primordial spirit......"

He didn't lift his head, he stared at the ground and just talked to himself. Suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him was strange, and hurriedly looked around. Seeing Zhao Lingwei standing in front of him, he looked surprised and asked, "Brother Lei, where did you learn all this messy side knowledge, why have I never heard you talk about it?"

Yu Wenlei looked left and right, and saw that the master and the Dongfang girl were also staring at him in a daze, as if they were looking at a stranger they didn't know. He hurriedly scratched his head, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Hehe, senior sister, you forgot, two years ago, I and you were in the trial illusion realm, and we suffered a big loss, and that opponent was the essence of a plant and tree." Later......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered Zixuan, and muttered to himself with a low expression: "When I returned to Chongyang Temple, I found some ancient books of spirits and monsters to read, so I knew a little bit." At the same time, he secretly said in his heart, Zixuan, you were the one who saved me and Senior Sister Zhao at that time, but where are you now, are you all right?

Yuxian Zhenren said: "I see, I have a heart." You must know that the essence of plants and trees is the hardest to cultivate, but once they become powerful, they are also the most obedient and difficult, they are generally good at poison and illusion, coupled with tenacious vitality, anyone who meets them will have a headache. ”

Yu Wenlei didn't intend to dwell on this senseless topic with Master, he frowned, and asked instead, "Master, you just said that the fisherman fell to his death under the cliff, what happened later?"

Yuxian Zhenren was reminded by Yu Wenlei, Fang remembered the topic just now, and he scolded with a smile: "It's all your senior sister's fault, so I forgot where I just said." ”

Then he didn't wait for Yu Wenlei to remind him, meditated for a while, and then continued: "Later, the villager was so frightened that he ran back to the village to report the news, and called a dozen young and strong young men to come over in one breath, and everyone put the fisherman's body on the wooden board and carried it back.

After returning to the village, the whole village was sad and sorry to see his tragic death, and when they woke up, they all talked about why he suddenly dropped the fishing net in his hand and ran to the cliff.

Everyone said everything, and in the end, it became more and more mysterious, and it was simply to the point of no return. The village chief was still as careful as a hair, and found clues from the body. ”

The four of them talked all the way, and before they knew it, they came to the edge of the Yuliu Forest. Yu Wenlei raised his eyes and looked into the forest, but saw a figure in the forest passing by, and left in a hurry, looking at the villagers who seemed to be here, so he didn't take it seriously.

He just looked at the willow, and saw that it grew very strangely, although there was a willow character in the name, but it was completely different from the ordinary willow tree, neither slender and light silk hung down, but even the trunk was straight and straight, not like the willow tree creeping and long, the branches were stretched out obliquely to the side, and the whole tree was like a pagoda.

Yuxian Zhenren saw that Yu Wenlei was looking at Yu Liu, so he also pointed and said: "That's right, this is the Yu Liu that the fishermen used to build ships, let's go around this forest and go to the fishing village." ”

Zhao Lingwei finally raised her interest in listening to the master's story, and when she saw that he changed the topic again, she gaged on the side: "Master, don't talk about the sea and the sky, hurry up and finish the old things just now, and we have to hurry up to the village to find the finger pan." With that, he grinned and ran away.

Yuxian Zhenren ignored her, but also continued: "The village chief saw that although the dead fisherman was covered in bruises, he still held his right hand tightly. But under normal circumstances, when a person is in pain, he will subconsciously reach out to protect his body, not to mention that when he falls off a cliff, he will also reach out and scratch indiscriminately, so when he dies, he should have five fingers apart, not a fist.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly ordered someone to break the fist of the deceased, but the fisherman had been dead for two days, and the slack of muscles had long passed, and he had become extremely hard and stiff.

It took a great deal of effort for the man to break the dead man's fingers, and they saw a glowing stone fall out of his palm.

At that time, everyone present, including the village chief, did not know the origin of the stone, and everyone looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to do.

At this time, a traveling Taoist priest happened to pass by the fishing village, and the Taoist priest saw the stones in the hands of the deceased at a glance through the cracks in the people. When he saw this, he was extremely shocked, and hurriedly separated the people and squeezed in, taking the stone in his hand and looking at it carefully.

After looking at it for a long time, he returned the stone to the village chief, and clearly told the village chief that this stone was the ore on the Huqiao of the Xianshan Mountain in the sea, and with this stone, he could find the Huqiao. Then he asked the village chief in detail how the stone came from.

The village chief saw that this Taoist priest was not dusty, his spirit was radiant, and he did not blame him for his rudeness just now, so he pointed to the corpse of the fisherman and told the Taoist priest what happened.

After hearing this, the Taoist priest thought about it for a while, and then figured out the reason. So he pointed to the fisherman's corpse and told the village chief that this man must have been mending nets on the beach, when he saw a seabird flying overhead with this glowing stone in his mouth, and he was curious to drop the net and chase the bird.

But when he got the stone from the bird's nest on the cliff, he was suddenly attacked by a seabird, and accidentally fell off the cliff and died. Judging from the fact that he still held on to this stone before he died, he was afraid that once he let go, it was likely that the stone would be taken away by the seabird, and his death would be meaningless and became a mystery for the ages.

When the villagers saw that what the Taoist priest said was orderly, they seemed to have some truth, so they all believed him. There were even a few young men who couldn't hold their breath, and after hearing this, they were eager to try, and even asked him on the spot how to find the pot.

The village chief suddenly remembered that the Taoist priest had just said that this stone was the key to finding the pot, so he also put down his body and humbly asked for advice.

The Taoist priest was not stubborn, he picked up the stone and put it in his hand and said, he can make this stone into ten finger plates, and the pointer on the finger plate will always point to the pot. With the finger division, everyone can easily find the immortal mountain in the Yu Yuan Sea.

After hearing this, the villagers immediately exploded, and everyone was excited, gossiping non-stop, both for and against.

The argument of the opponents is nothing more than that the stone looks sparkling, like a very precious gem, and if it is sold outside, it will definitely sell for a good price. This will not only subsidize the families of the deceased, but also improve the situation in the village. Once it is cut into more than a dozen parts and made into a finger plate, if you find Xianshan, if you don't find it, wouldn't it be a handful of rice to steal chickens.

Most of the people in favor were young people in the village, and they were full of vigor and blood, and sneered back, even a stone casually brought by a seabird can be brilliant, and it is conceivable that the pot of money on the mountain must be full of gold and jade, treasures everywhere, maybe even the elixir of immortality.

The village chief was old and disabled at this time, and he was reluctant to do it many times. But when he overheard the young man talking about the fact that there might be elixir and immortal fruit on the fairy mountain, and he could live forever after taking it, he couldn't help but feel excited.

So he asked the Taoist priest again and again for verification, but the Taoist priest just replied lightly that he had never been to Huqiao, and as for whether it was a poisonous snake or a delicacy, only those who had been there knew the answer.

Finally, the Taoist priest also said that if you want to look for it, you should set off as soon as possible, although the finger plate he made can indicate the direction of the pot, but it cannot test the distance from the field. However, judging from the fact that seabirds can fly back to their nests with stones, Xianshan should be the closest to the shore at this time. If it is late, even if it means that the plate is built, it is expected that the fairy mountain will drift far away.

After hearing this, the village chief no longer hesitated, and made a decision on the spot and asked the Taoist priest to make a finger plate. When the Taoist priest heard this, he smiled, pointed to the corpse of the dead fisherman, and asked him to be carried down and buried in the ground.

Then he took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve and put it in front of the table, and took the stone from the village chief's hand and pressed it on the talisman. Then he made a seal with both hands, and at the same time said a few words in his mouth, and everyone only heard a crisp crackling sound, and the stone actually cracked into several pieces.

The village chief stepped forward and counted, no more, no less, exactly ten yuan. After the Taoist priest had done this, he ordered the villagers to quickly go and get ten plates. After the villagers took back the plates, the Taoist priest took them and lined them up and put ten pieces of gravel into the plates. Then he made a move like the wind and pasted all ten plates on the rune paper, and after he was done, he pinched the magic trick and shouted 'change'!"
