Baoyu couldn't help but start looking at this old way, and saw that he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a slightly curly black hair was draped over his shoulders, but the top of his head was very bald, bright and bright, as if he had been specially waxed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He was holding a black iron crutch in his left hand, and a big cyan gourd hung on it, which must be what Xianglian said, the magic weapon that can store things.

This old way gives people a very different feeling from the lame Taoist described in the book, not only is his aura extraordinary, but also makes people feel good at first sight.

Baoyu stepped forward and saluted: "Two immortal masters, it's polite again." ”

The old man showed a pleased smile on his face: "Son, don't be polite, and stay here for a few days, and when my disciple Xianglian comes back, we have something to discuss." ”

Baoyu thought to himself, this is really Xianglian's master, and he was also worried about Xianglian and them, so he asked: "Immortal Master, I don't know if Wei Ruolan's master continues to chase and kill Xianglian and them..."

The old man smiled faintly: "Childe, don't worry, a little 'true cultivator' on the left side of the door, why worry about it, I have already arranged it, my apprentice will definitely bring those two little girls back safely, just because they can't take off the clouds and fog, I'm afraid it will take about ten days..."

Only then did Baoyu put his mind at ease and asked again: "Immortal Master, we have gathered many people here, so we can't go somewhere, right?"

The old man turned his head and pointed at the great monk and said, "Yes, we have to go back to the heavenly realm... I'd like to ask your master for details!"

"My master?" Baoyu was stunned, when have I ever worshipped this great monk as a teacher.

"This..."Seeing Baoyu's expression, the lame old man turned his head to stare at the big monk suspiciously.

The great monk looked embarrassed, recited the Buddha's name and said, "Amitabha, I was anxious before, and Lord Jia Shi really hasn't worshiped me as a teacher..."

When the old man heard this, he smiled: "Monk, if that's the case, then I'm not welcome..."

Who knows, before he finished speaking, the big monk suddenly became anxious, changed his appearance as a calm and breezy monk, and shouted at the old Tao: "Lao Tie, it's not Lao Li, let's talk about it, you're going too far..."

Baoyu was a little speechless, it seems that these two immortals have already set me up, and it naturally feels good to become a fragrant bait, but this is too indifferent to the feelings of the people involved.

The old Taoist saw that the great monk was in a hurry, so he smiled and said: "Old monk, what are you anxious about, it's not okay to make a joke..."

At this time, the colorful light on the "Tongling Treasure Jade" flashed, and his face appeared again, shouting: "Master, I brought the eldest brother, you have to talk and count!"

Everyone immediately shifted their attention to the "Tongling Baoyu", and the old man smiled: "This little thing will invite merit." ”

The great monk's face had regained his calmness, and he also smiled and said: "That's natural, you are now 'three souls', and the teacher will help you establish your spirit." ”

Tongling Baoyu asked a little impatiently: "Thank you master, then I don't know how many essences I can get?"

The great monk was still smiling: "One 'earth spirit' should not be a big problem, as for the others, I am not sure." ”

"It's only one?" The avatar of Tongling Baoyu looked very disappointed.

The old Taoist saw its expression, and scolded with a smile: "Little thing, you are really insatiable, you have cultivated for tens of thousands of years before you obtained the two souls of 'heaven and earth', this time I took you down, and it was only twenty years before I obtained the 'human soul', since then the three souls are complete, you can really step into the cultivation gate, and you can get another 'earth spirit', that is because your body is a divine stone, and now you are not satisfied... Cultivating the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, how can it be so easy..."

Tongling Baoyu heard Lao Dao say this, and then said: "Thank you Master, Uncle, it's the disciple who is greedy." ”

Baoyu listened to the conversation between several of them, and already understood, isn't this the story of the reincarnation of the "psychic" in the "Red Mansion" book, so to speak, these two are not "Miao Zhenren" and "Vast Master", so who else can it be?

It's just that since Xianglian is the apprentice of this old way, why doesn't she know their identity, could it be that they deliberately concealed it?

It is inconvenient for Baoyu to ask for details, because the story that happened in this world was later written by Cao Gong into an immortal masterpiece "Dream of Red Mansions", they may not know, and if they hadn't read this book, many things, he, the protagonist in the book, should not be very clear.

Regarding the relationship between himself and the book "Dream of Red Mansions", he also once thought that when he was Jia Yihong, he naturally simply thought that this was just a novel written by Cao Gong based on his life experience.

However, now it seems that since this world is real, the problem is not so simple, and as for the reason, he has no clue now, and it is estimated that it will be a very complex cause and effect relationship.

Baoyu only felt confused, and was a little dissatisfied with these immortals who liked to call the shots, so he said: "Jia Xiaobao, what else are you hiding from me, listen to the tone, you seem to be selling your eldest brother, aren't you?"

Tongling Baoyu suddenly had a bitter face: "Big brother, we are brothers, can I trap you? This is just a matter of killing multiple birds with one stone..."

When the old Taoist heard Baoyu's words, he glanced at the great monk, smiled and said: "It seems that Jia Gongzi is quite dissatisfied with us, too, the matter is urgent, it may be a little abrupt, Shiyin, you should introduce it!"

"Yes, Master. The old man chopping wood responded respectfully, then turned to Baoyu and said, "Son, don't worry, listen to me slowly, let's start with me, my name is 'Zhen Shiyin', I was originally a person from Gusu, and after the family changed, I followed the master to cultivate immortals, and it has been more than ten years..."

When the old man said this, he stroked his beard and sighed, as if he remembered a lot of past events.

Baoyu was shocked in his heart, this person who was considered to be a master in the world turned out to be "Xiangling", that is, "Zhen Shiyin", the biological father of "Zhen Yinglian".

Actually, what he should have guessed before, in the novel, it is said that he, like Xianglian, went with a lame Taoist, and he was an earlier one, so he didn't expect to live in seclusion in the mountains in the north all the time.

Zhen Shiyin paused for a moment, then pointed to the great monk and said, "This is my uncle's 'Vast Master'..."

Who knows, the old Taoist waved his hand, interrupted him and said: "Shi Yin, now that he is a family, 'Vast Master' and 'Miao Zhenren' are originally the nicknames of Linfan this time, so don't mention it." ”

When Zhen Shiyin heard this, he smiled, and then changed his words and said: "Actually, my master is the 'Budai Arhat' who ranks third in the 'Eighteen Resident Arhats', and as for my master, he is the first of the three great immortals in the world, and he is known as 'Tie Guan Li'. ”

When Baoyu heard this, she was shocked and blurted out, "What? You are Tie Guan Li? Isn't that the legendary 'Eight Immortals'?"

The story of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" has been passed down through the ages in the earth world, and it is a household name, I originally thought it was just a folk tale, but I didn't expect to see a real person here today, and it turned out to be the deity of "Slim Real Man", which is really incredible.

However, everyone stared at Baoyu suspiciously, and Zhen Shiyin also asked, "What are the Eight Immortals?"

Baoyu said: "It's the eight immortals led by your master's 'Tie Guan Li', could it be that the real situation is not like this?"

Tie Guan Li said: "At the beginning, Master did ask me to select eight highly respected earth immortals from the worlds of the mortal realm to make up enough gossip, but I have been walking in the mortal realm for more than 200 years, and I only met Han Zhongli and Zhang Guolao, two junior disciples who meet the standards, and the others are still searching..."

Baoyu suddenly understood, it seems that this world, from the perspective of time, belongs to an earlier period, that is to say, he has directly traveled from the earth world to the ancient times of the Three Realms, and many things he knows should not have happened yet.

Of course, from Baoyu's point of view, it can also be said that he traveled to the future, lived for twenty-six years, and now returned.

The matter of crossing is a secret of oneself, and even if it is said, no one may believe it, and besides, if it is leaked too much, in case it changes the course of history and causes any unpredictable serious consequences, it will be a big trouble.

Thinking of this, Baoyu said with a sloppy look: "Oh, I just heard that maybe the legend of the mortal world is wrong, and I thought that the eight immortals had been gathered." ”
