Qi Xiang found a secluded and uninhabited place and slowly surfaced. Then he found that this was indeed a large lake, and the whole lake was so vast and vast that there was no edge in sight.

But he was sure that it was on Earth......

Well, and moreover, China.

Because in the distance, on a passing boat, he saw a very familiar Chinese character billboard.

"Wait, this is ......"

Qi Xiang's eyes were sharp, and soon on that boat, he saw a line of text.

"Yueyang 4G, faster and cooler, beyond your imagination."

Seeing this line of advertisements, Qi Xiang was immediately stunned, and then had a flash of inspiration: "Yueyang Tower, Dongting Lake?" ”

"Is this Dongting Lake?"

Qi Xiang looked around and felt very similar. Dongting is 800 miles, the smoke is vast, and the lake area is indeed very wide, which is very suitable for the environment here.

It's just that Taihu Lake and Dongting Lake are separated by I don't know how many kilometers apart. Why did he fly over all of a sudden?

It's really flying away, Boeing planes, it's not so fast.

"Inter-provincial, inter-provincial, really across two provinces."

Qi Xiang was stunned for a while, and then he gradually came back to his senses. His thoughts fluctuated, and now it was certain that there should be no water mansion in Taihu Lake, but there was a magical teleportation formation.

Teleportation formation, connecting the two lakes, thousands of miles in an instant.

"It's a windfall."

Qi Xiang smiled bitterly and comforted himself, thinking that this was also very good. At the very least, in the future, there is no need to take a plane between the two provinces, which can save a lot of time and money.

By the way, you can make a lot of money by starting a courier company and transporting goods on both sides.

smuggling tobacco or something, and you don't have to worry about being seized......

Qi Xiang imagined it, and returned to reality. He suddenly found that he also had a great advantage when he came to Dongting Lake. That's the people of the Ten Directions, how to investigate. His whereabouts could not be found.

Whoever it is, it won't be thought of. With a single swish, he crossed the two provinces and appeared in Dongting Lake. Even if the Ten Directions Dao is powerful. If Huzhou's water, land and air travel routes are blocked, nothing will be found.

"Hmph, let's investigate slowly."

Qi Xiang's mood suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, and he was very happy. But only for a moment. He had to face another problem. If you are new to the car and are not familiar with the place, where should you go to settle down?

This is near Yueyang, and it stands to reason that it should be a good choice to go to Yueyang by the way.

The problem is that Yueyang is relatively prosperous, with many people and mixed eyes, and it is easy to expose their whereabouts. Qi Xiang was also not sure if there were people and horses from the Ten Directions in Yueyang.

He wasn't afraid. The point is that he doesn't want to get into trouble anymore now. After all, he was a monk seeking immortality, not a militant, and he took pleasure in fighting and killing all day long.

"Find a place to avoid the limelight and digest the harvest by the way."

Qi Xiang pondered for a long time, and suddenly sank to the bottom of the lake, and once again sneaked in the water. He walked slowly for a long time, waiting until it was dark. only then did he quietly go ashore.

Dongting Lake is very large, and there are many surrounding cities. Qi Xiang chose a remote place, and after going ashore, he ran all the way. From the plains, slowly deep into the mountains.

Deep mountains and old forests, inaccessible, poisonous snakes, birds and beasts lurk and haunt, there is a certain danger.

Qi Xiang ran all night, early the next morning. He stopped. Nearby, he found a valley with a stream flowing through it, and some wild fruit trees in the valley.

He was lucky enough to catch a few birds that were eating the fruit.

He lit a fire in the middle of the valley, disemboweled, and then set up a fire on the fire to roast them.

It is worth mentioning that on the way last night, when he passed through the town, he took some daily necessities such as oil and salt. So now, don't worry about the barbecue being tasteless.

He took a small brush, dipped it in oil, salt, cumin, and applied it to the bird.

As soon as the fire burns, this alluring fragrance comes out. Thinking about it carefully, he hadn't eaten seriously for about two days, and now that the aroma was rising, he was salivating, and naturally he couldn't hold it back.

"Alright, alright."

Qi Xiang turned the tree branches, and his saliva was about to flow down.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a pop, and there was a strange movement.

"Who?"

Qi Xiang's heart moved, and he looked over very alertly, and then he saw a yellow-haired monkey squatting on a tree among a sparse bush, pulling a handful of branches to play.

"Where did the monkey come from......"

Qi Xiang was a little surprised, looked at it a little, and was even more surprised to find that the yellow-haired monkey actually had a green cloth burden hanging from his waist.

So for a while, Qi Xiang couldn't figure out whether the yellow-haired monkey was raised by someone or a wild monkey, but he picked up a burden.

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it.

Qi Xiang glanced at it, and didn't care about the monkey, but concentrated on the barbecue. After a while, the barbecue was ready. He just wanted to eat it, but he heard a loud noise, as if something had smashed over.

He was stunned for a moment, looked up, and found that the yellow-haired monkey, very naughty in the tree, actually picked a wild fruit, used it as a stone hidden weapon, and grinned.

It didn't hit, but it was close.

Qi Xiang's face darkened, and he pouted: "Monkey head, for the sake of the great sage's face, I don't care about you......"

"Whoosh!"

The yellow-haired monkey didn't understand, but when it saw Qi Xiang taking care of it, it was even more excited, and picked many fruits with both hands, and then threw them over one by one.

When Qi Xiang saw it, he couldn't help frowning, caught one of the wild fruits with his hand, and then waved his hand. The wild fruit came out of his hand, very cleverly avoiding the obstruction of the branches, and smashed directly on the head of the yellow-haired monkey.

"Click!"

In an instant, the yellow-haired monkey was furious, bared his teeth, pulled the tree a few times, and came to the tree near Qi Xiang. He swings on the autumn swings, laps the trunks of the trees, and constantly makes strange roars and bluffs.

Qi Xiang wanted to laugh when he saw it, and watched the monkey show while nibbling on the barbecue.

This contemptuous attitude made the yellow-haired monkey even more angry, and it angrily picked many leaves and threw them at the elephant. However, the branches and leaves have no power, and they can't be thrown far.

In a fit of anger, it took off the burden on its waist and smashed it vigorously at Qi Xiang.

"Hoo ......"

The burden was smashed, there was no accuracy, Qi Xiang's eyebrows were raised, and there was no need to avoid it at all. Seeing the burden fall to the ground, he picked up a wild fruit and threw it gently.

The wild fruit was accurate, and it was stuffed into the mouth of the yellow-haired monkey, causing it to be terrified, and then quickly dragged the branch and fled.

Seeing this, Qi Xiang smiled and continued to eat barbecue. However, his eyes slowly turned to the burden on the ground. I don't know what is in the bulging baggage.

He was curious, so he picked up the burden and pulled it casually.

The baggage was opened, and there were a few pieces of clothing and bits and pieces.

There is something strange about the clothes, it seems to be a gown, as well as cloth shoes and a tiara. As for the bits and pieces, it was some miscellaneous items, and among them was a letter.

Curiosity together, Qi Xiang himself couldn't resist it, and when he saw that the mouth of the envelope was not glued, he opened the envelope, took out the letterhead inside, and opened it to watch.

There are words on the letterhead, like a letter of introduction, or a letter of appointment.

The content of the letter is also relatively simple, that is, to appoint a Taoist priest named Xuanqing to go to the Taoist temple under the jurisdiction of a certain village and serve as the person in charge, that is, the so-called Guan Zhu, the abbot.

When it comes to abbots, many people are influenced by film and television dramas, and they always feel that it is an inherent title in Buddhism.

Actually, that was a pure misunderstanding. In fact, the word abbot, from the very beginning, was a Taoist thing. It's just that Buddhism was introduced to China and was directly borrowed and used.

Later, with the continuous expansion of the power of Buddhism, coupled with the misleading film and television dramas, many people did not know that the original word abbot was shared by the two factions, and when they heard others mention the abbot, they always thought of the monk.

"Abbot Xuanqing!" Qi Xiang rolled his eyes, and then smiled, the name of this abbot is indeed very lofty. However, it also depends on where the abbot is.

If it is the abbot of Shaolin Temple, it must be majestic and famous. However, Xuanqing, the abbot, is located between the poor ravines. The Taoist temple in the ravine can also be imagined what it will look like.

Qi Xiang glanced at it twice, and guessed in his heart that the Xuanqing Taoist priest might have inadvertently lost his baggage on the way into the mountain, and was picked up by the yellow-haired monkey again.

Judging by the date in the letter, this was more than a month ago.

I guess people are already in the Taoist temple.

Qi Xiang casually threw down the letterhead and continued to eat and bake. In three or five minutes, I solved a few fat birds, and I was finally full. However, the oiliness of his hand made him feel uncomfortable, so he went to the stream to wash his hands.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came.

"What's going on?"

Qi Xiang was stunned, isn't this a deserted valley, why is it like a busy city, with people coming and going all day long? There was a yellow-haired monkey on the front foot, and someone came on the back foot.

Qi Xiang frowned, washed his hands and stood up to take a look, but saw a group of seven or eight young people, who were divided into two groups, one carrying a big boar and the other carrying an injured person, and then walked over slowly.

Seeing the Qi elephant next to the stream, those people were also stunned.

But they didn't hesitate, and after a little stagnation, they walked straight away.

When the men approached, they saw that the leader was a middle-aged man, he was thin and a little short, but his eyes were bright and shrewd.

The middle-aged man's eyes were scrutinizing, and after turning his gaze, he asked with a smile, "Little brother, lost?" ”

"Uh......"

Qi Xiang blinked his eyes, then nodded again and again, showing a relieved expression, and squeezed out a smile and said, "After walking for several hours, I finally met someone." ”

"Haha, it's okay, in a while, we'll take you out."

The middle-aged man can be regarded as an ancient Taoist, and he comforted Qi Xiang, and then turned around and greeted: "Quick, put Ah San down, clean the wound ......" (to be continued.) )
