Chapter 46: Taoist Temple in Distress
The sycamore leaves entwined by the autumn wind, the golden leaves all over the ground, a sense of autumn killing intent. The road to the back mountain is very smooth, the paved road with small stones is not very smooth, and it hurts a little to step on the feet, but after the pain, I feel very comfortable.
The back mountain is obviously higher than the front mountain, in the high place of the back mountain, you can see the whole Taoist hall like a circle, there are two towers in front and behind, if you stand on the highest, you will find that these two towers and the surrounding Taoist temple is a Bagua Taiji map.
Mu Eighteen had already agreed on the front mountain, and discussed with the four Dharma Protectors in spring, summer, autumn and winter, all those who cultivate immortals, cultivate to a certain extent, they can establish a communication bridge with people, and prevent others from hearing through the exchange of consciousness words, in order to avoid startling the grass and snakes, choose a person to go up the mountain, the old man in purple clothes of the Xia Protector ignored Mu Eighteen's opposition, and deliberately put a piece of his own consciousness on him.
Many years later, when the old man in purple was playing with Mu Eighteen's baby on his head, Mrs. Mu blamed him for being too doting, and he put his eyes up and said: "You woman, if I hadn't put a consciousness on Mu Eighteen, how could there be your future Ruyi Langjun, and this delicate baby, what happened to the old man who doted on this child?" The woman smiled slightly and was helpless.
Mu 18 and this little Taoist priest while walking, while inquiring about this and that, the little Taoist priest did not dare to hide, one by one, this Taoist was originally built by the old city lord of Gaolin City, after the old city lord flew to the heavenly realm, the later generations of city lords have not repaired the Taoist hall, fortunately, the Taoist hall has been incense for thousands of years because of the prestige of the old city lord.
There were several times when the current city lord Chunyu saw that the terrain was dangerous and the scenery was beautiful, and wanted to turn it into an entertainment venue, but he was opposed by the residents of Gaolin and the Taoist priests, so he gave up the idea.
According to the little Taoist priest, after this Chunyu took office, he either rebuilt it or married his daughter-in-law, Mu Eighteen shook his head, this Chunyu is really the master of eating, drinking and having fun, and I don't know whether it is right or wrong to save him.
The stone road walked nearly a few hundred meters, and in front of it was the place where the two mountains were sandwiched, and the stone road also began to have a bend there, and there was a place where the Taoist priest of the back mountain rested.
After turning the corner, the terrain is flat, and the buildings here are relatively small compared to the previous ones. It is all built with mountain wooden pagodas.
There are obviously more Taoist priests in the back mountain than in the front mountain, and there are two Taoist priests guarding at the corner, and when they see someone coming, two Taoist priests stopped and said: "Why did you lead outsiders to the back, don't you know that the Lord does not allow outsiders to come in?"
Without waiting for the little Taoist priest to answer, Mu Eighteen took out the token and said, "This is the token of the city lord of Gaolin City, he asked me to invite Daoist Shibao as a guest." ”
One of the guards took the token, looked at it carefully, and handed it back with both hands: "It turned out to be an envoy, it is very offensive, the master is meditating in the room, I will go and ask for instructions, and please wait a while." ”
Mu 18 took back the token and thanked him: "There is labor." The Taoist priest trotted into the house, and after a while ran out and said, "The Lord has invited your Excellency in." ”
"Hmm," Mu Eighteen let out a loud sigh of satisfaction and strode into the room,
In the treasure hall, there is a stone statue of an old man erected in the main hall, and in front of him is a Taoist priest wearing a purple yang scarf and wearing a gossip robe. I saw him with a crane-topped turtle back, long eyes and sparse eyebrows, a ruddy complexion, and an elegant demeanor.
Mu 18 found that the old man looked exactly like the stone statue, how could he set up a stone statue for himself and made him feel a little strange when he was alive.
"The younger generation sees the seniors. "Mu Eighteen salutes. The old Taoist priest opened his eyes and said, "Please get up, look at your clothes, you." Is it a disciple of Kunlun Mountain. ”
"Exactly, I can't imagine that the elders have a friendship with Shushan, please ask which Kunlun Mountain Dao Master do you know from the seniors. Mu Eighteen asked.
The old Taoist laughed and said: "How can the poor Dao know the immortals of Kunlun Mountain, it's just that I have seen a lot and can see it, little Taoist friend, I don't know what you have to do with the old man, the city lord really called me to be a guest?" ”
Mu Eighteen squatted down, drew a circle on the ground with a wooden sword, and said, "Yes and no." ”
"What does this mean?" said the old man with a long smile.
"It means that if you let the city lord go, I can invite you to be a guest, if you don't let go, the city lord will be gone, who will still listen to your lecture, and who will still invite you as a guest. If there is no host, there will be no guests!" Mu Eighteen spoke, and stabbed his back with a sword.
A painful "chirp" sound came from the tip of Mu Eighteen's sword, and on the tip of the sword was a green creature, the creature had a pair of big eyes on the top of its head, a fist-sized body with a fist-sized head, and a pair of sickle-like forelimbs on the head and body, and the knife edge was densely packed with triangular rows of sharp thorns, which were indescribably sharp.
However, at this time, one of his forelimbs had been pierced off by Mu Eighteen's wooden sword, and his head was also pierced by the wooden sword, and the green liquid dripped along the lower half of his body on the bluestone slab in the gym.
The old Taoist priest smiled approvingly and said, "Yes, it's not simple, this reflex is first-class." ”
Mu Eighteen said uncontrollably: "But that's it, it's just that I have to be more vigilant when I walk a lot at night." ”
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said: "Otherwise, you don't know that I have raised this creature for hundreds of years, and I have never missed a killing, you are the first person to make him miss twice, you say that you are not very simple, do you want to know what it is?"
"It's all dead, I don't want to know. Mu 18 replied.
The old Taoist priest patted his leg and said, "Yes, yes, it makes no sense to say useless things, and it also reveals my whereabouts." The last meaning of what the old Taoist priest said was to thank Mu Eighteen for killing it.
Mu Eighteen sneered: "Although this creature has not been able to complete the task, it has been with you for some days, don't you feel distressed." ”
"Who said that I don't feel distressed, I will kill you later, and I should avenge it" The old Taoist priest's face suddenly became serious.
Mu Eighteen laughed when he saw it, and the old Taoist sneered a few times and said, "What are you laughing at, you think I can't kill you." ”
Mu Shibai rubbed his stomach with a smile and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, you see that you laugh and cry for a while, which reminds me of a creature, are you a chameleon." When the old Taoist priest heard this, he smiled and said, "That's good, I like the word chameleon." ”
The Taoist priest stretched out his hand to shoot a ball of fire, Mu Eighteen dodged sideways, and slashed at the Taoist priest with a wooden sword in both hands, the Taoist priest hurriedly retreated, and the sword qi split the stone statue, and the stone statue fell in response.
Mu Eighteen smiled: "But so, if you lose your talisman, what else do you have to do, hurry up and take it out." ”
The old Taoist priest laughed a few times, picked up the creature that Mu Eighteen had shot down at some point, and ate it in a few bites.
Then he lifted his clothes, and his body parted and slipped off one by one, it was the same kind of xenomorph creature just now, all of them crawled down densely, there were probably hundreds of small creatures.
Mu Eighteen saw that this thing was split and transformed from the old Taoist, and said in his heart that this old Taoist priest was a female worm.
This biosynthesis is personal, separating things that are indeed worms. Mu Eighteen had never seen such a strange creature, and there was a chill in his heart, if there was no choice, then he could only show 100% courage, at least die with more pride.
'Is it in danger?' A consciousness sounded in his mind, and this consciousness came out in his own mind, which scared Mu Eighteen into a wit, and the voice continued: "It's me, I'm Xia Protector Ziyi, I'm not in a consciousness under you, but I can help you when you're in danger." ”
Mu 18 recited a spell, the wooden sword became bigger to block the attacking insects, and took the opportunity to run out of the house, and the Taoist priest who ran out of the room heard the sound in the surrounding room, but he suffered and was surrounded by insects, the forelimbs of the two knives were scratched on the neck, but the thin wound penetrated deep into the blood vessels, blood sprayed out of the wound, and the screams and shouts continued, and the person was immediately paralyzed on the ground.
Two fist-sized insects crawled into the wound, and the fallen body began to swell like a balloon, and it suddenly burst not long after, and more insects crawled out of it, and the difference was that the body of the insect that crawled out kept shaking in the sun, and on its back a thin wing, with a little bit of slime, there were no wings around it to suck the slime, and as soon as the mucus was clean, those insects shook off the thin wings and attacked the living everywhere.
Mu Eighteen just wanted to vomit when he saw it, and kept running outside while hurriedly communicating with Xia Protector: "Why don't you come in and save me quickly." Xia Protector quickly sent a message: "When you came in, did you see two towers on the back mountain and the front mountain?" ”
"Yes, what's wrong?" Mu Eighteen asked anxiously.
"Now that they're still there, can you still see them?" asked the old man in purple. Mu 18 looked up, the two towers that came were no longer visible, Mu 18 replied in surprise: "No, what's the matter?"
"We're right now, right where you're there. Xia Protector replied.
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't see you?" Mu Eighteen thought that Xia Protector was confused, and looked around again.
"That's because you are on the opposite side of us, this Taoist Pavilion was originally established by the ancestor of Chunyu, in fact, this is a gossip yin and yang diagram Taiji diagram, now this Taiji diagram has been activated by whom, we are on the yang side, and you are just on the yin side. Xia Protector clearly told Mu Eighteen his current situation in Mu Eighteen's mind.
In other words, you're in a space, but not the same space you used to be. ”
"Then you can't turn it over." Mu Eighteen had already run to the front mountain and asked.
"It's a dead knot, this space was built to protect its descendants, and there was no backhand.
Xia Protector's answer was the last thing Mu 18 wanted to hear, and then looked around, the flying creatures had come to the front mountain, Mu 18 saw a flying insect chasing the little Taoist priest who brought him in, Mu 18 flew the sword and stabbed it, saving the little Taoist priest's life.
However, behind Mu Eighteen, the knife teeth of a flying insect were already approaching his throat.
