Chapter 52: First Encounter with Bai Jiao
Last night was also the night of Chinese New Year's Eve in China, when the sky was sprinkled with stars, the world was already lit up, and the big city town heard the sound of firecrackers saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
Mei Si'an lay on his side on a fluttering cloud, trying to find the handsome young man in a gray robe with a wine gourd on his waist in the crowd of joy and rush, but even after wandering and watching all night, he did not find the adventurer who came and went without a trace.
"There is no moon in the sky tonight, where are you on earth?" The goddess complained a little, "Did you ever know that there is a girl waiting for you in this world?" β
A gust of cold wind blew through the sky, and the goddess Mei Si'an tightened her clothes, is it cold? No matter how strong the wind is, it won't make her feel cold, it's just that the lights of thousands of homes in the world make her a little lonely; It's just that under this long night, the whispers of the young men and women who hide under the trees behind the flowers make her a little sad; She just wanted to see a handsome young man looking up at the sky and saying, "Hey! Are you bored with the Heavenly One? But she didn't wait, so she spent Chinese New Year's Eve alone.
She knows that her sweetheart is an adventurer, the so-called adventurer naturally does not have much nostalgia and cherishment for this world, as the saying goes: "Who is a merciless person, an adventurer in the mortal world, a god who closes his eyes above the nine heavens" Of course, she is a god, but don't forget that she was a person before she became a god, not only a person but also a woman, as a woman, she still wants to be loved, not like this hanging on the sky blowing the cold wind and tasting loneliness. She also hopes that An Ran in her heart is a special adventurer, an adventurer who doesn't treat her as an NPC and can hug her fiercely.
The long night has faded, the sun has risen, the year has passed, and the new year has arrived. The goddess Mesian seemed a little sleepy, she covered her hands and yawned, and then slowly stood up.
"This world!" She whispered, "After all, you need some warmth, the world should not become a chessboard for you to bet on, and all living beings should not be reduced to chess pieces in your hands." β
The goddess raised her head slightly and frowned at the sky, and then flew higher in the canopy like a meteor.
******
Some of the streets in Huaitao County were covered with confetti, and the occasional sound of firecrackers rang out between the alleys and courtyards, and then two or three NPC children in new clothes ran out. They are elated and jubilant, no matter how unbearable the world is, how worried the big people are, they can always be happy for the children during the New Year.
But Fan Yuntian was not happy, very unhappy!
"How many times have I said that? Yes! An Ran said earnestly: "You are more or less a assassin who walks the rivers and lakes, why are you still as greedy and playful as a child?" β
"Did you say that?" Fan Yuntian kicked the confetti on the ground in annoyance, "I only remember that when Lao Tzu was talking foul language, you reminded Lao Tzu that he was a child, and now it's good!" I thought that after a big year, you turned around and ran, causing Lao Tzu to sleep for a day and a night in the Chinese New Year's Eve. Don't tell me that the system doesn't allow you to enter the game or something, it's you who ran away, and our god doesn't have the kung fu to care about you. β
At this time, at the root of the wall of the new door god pasted on the door of a courtyard, a child lit a firecracker, and the 'bang' scared Fan Yuntian a lot, and the child covered his ears and grimaced at the two masters and servants passing by.
"Put, put, put!" Fan Yuntian gestured his fist at the child, "Why don't you blow up you little bastards." β
"Buy, buy, buy!" An Ran was annoyed by the complaints of his servants all the way down, "Let's go eat chaos first, then buy firecrackers, and then go to the clothes store." β
"Really?" Fan Yuntian dug out his ears and didn't believe it.
"What else?" An Ran folded his hands on the back of his head and said angrily: "Continue to listen to your bald donkey chanting?" β
Fan Yuntian's mood instantly improved.
"Wow!" The NPC kid flattered and said: "I know that Brother An Ran is the best for me, don't worry that Brother An Ran won't have much time to buy things." β
"Okay? That's not what you said in the first place. An Ran walked swaying and teasing.
"You just fart when I speak." Fan Yuntian pulled the corner of An Ran's clothes like a dog's legs, "Brother An Ran, my stomach is so hungry, I heard that the wontons from the Chen family stall are delicious, let's go eat a few bowls, okay?" β
So under the leadership of Fan Yuntian, the master and servant walked a little east of Huaitao County. But today's county streets are not as lively as usual, most of the NPCs spend the New Year in their own homes, and the stores are closed and there are few vendors, which causes their breakfast to have to change from chaos to noodles, and the firecrackers have bought a lot, but Fan Yuntian's new clothes have not been found, so the NPC boy and An Ran went to a bookstore that was still open to buy a few books.
The books he wants are messy, what martial arts novels, Xiuzhen novels, barnyard official history, all kinds of poetry collections, and a copy of "Ten Thousand Whys" Fortunately, Fan Yuntian is not interested in anything **** or anything like that, otherwise this kid may be guided by these books, and one day An Ran will take him to the Qinglou for a walk.
An Ran bought a few big red envelopes and some gifts, which are used for New Year's greetings, there is a saying called 'follow the customs' of course the handsome young man knows this principle, so after buying things, he first went to visit Huang Yuanwai, gave a gift, and gave Huang Yingying a red envelope, the money is not much, it is completely auspicious. He refused Huang Yuanwai's request to stay for dinner and returned to Tai'anbang, and distributed the remaining red envelopes to the NPC nurses, maids, and servants who were still working diligently in the courtyard, and they were very happy, shouting Happy New Year to Boss An Ran.
Be kind to NPCs, An Ran thinks this is what it should be, because after we leave this world, they are still guarding your home and protecting the home, and even in the future, they will take their lives because of sudden changes. Are NPCs human? Of course they are not human, but if they are righteous to you, should you reciprocate? Just like Huang Yuanwai, this old guy actually has a lot of money on them, no matter what his purpose is.
The last red envelope was naturally for Fan Yuntian, and An Ran didn't put much money in it for the NPC kid, because all his expenses were paid by himself. He gave him forty-four copper coins, which meant that he hoped that Fan Yuntian would do well.
After doing this, it was already noon, and An Ran had to go offline to eat and then go online. There are still one or two gamers in the gang occasionally, and when they see An Ran, they all greet each other for the New Year. From their mouths, they learned that since the fight with the Xiangma Gang, the leader of the Xiangma Gang was killed in an alley behind Changshou Street, and some people died in the courtyard of the Xiangma Gang, and their supplies were looted.
"A lot of people say we did it." They said.
"It's not us, it's someone else."
An Ran didn't explain too much and went out.
The trees fell and scattered, and the Xiangma Gang, which had been rampant in Huaitao County for many years, disappeared, which was expected by An Ran and Desert Lonely Yanzhi. When the people between the two gangs are defeated, there will always be someone hiding behind you to give you a fatal knife, and the story of the sandpiper and the clam competing for the profit of the fisherman appears less? That's why they took the risk to buy those shields and spears, that is, to minimize their losses and defeat the Ringing Horse Gang; That's why they let Xiang Dong bring a team of gangs to be stationed in the gang to prevent others from taking the opportunity to steal their homes.
Looking at the miserable appearance of the courtyard of the Xiangma Gang that was sealed by the government, An Ran knew that they had done the right thing.
Suddenly, as soon as Fan Yuntian shook his hand, there was still a firecracker in front of the courtyard, and then with a 'bang', the firecracker exploded in the courtyard of the Xiangma Gang.
"Blow up your bunch of dead pigs and dogs." Fan Yuntian laughed.
An Ran had a shudder at his head.
"Did you throw firecrackers into people's yards like that? What should I do if someone is injured by the explosion? An Ran glared at Fan Yuntian fiercely.
"What!" Fan Yuntian rubbed his head and shouted: "There is no one in this courtyard." β
Then the courtyard door was pulled open, and a blackened official with a red confetti on his hat and a blackened face scolded.
"Fuck you! Which little mongrel did it? Your sister's ** was stabbed by a dog! The servant jumped out of the street, his hand clutching the hilt of his sword, and he was furious.
But when he saw An Ran and Fan Yuntian standing on the street, he immediately changed his face and walked up with a smile.
"Hello Boss Enron! This...... These kids are so naughty. The bearded official was a little embarrassed to spit out the fragrance in his mouth, so he explained.
"He still didn't find out that Fan Yuntian did it." Thinking of this, An Ran calmed down.
"Brother Li will be angry if anyone else comes to this matter, you scolded politely."
"Brother Li," Fan Yuntian casually pointed his hand to a street, "The two little Wang Ba who threw firecrackers in this yard ran over there." β
"Hey! Forget it," the official wiped his face, "I'm unlucky, you have to be careful when you walk on this street!" β
"Thank you Brother Li for reminding me," An Ran asked after clenching his fists: "Doesn't your brother take a break during the New Year?" Is this an errand? β
"Rest a fart!" The sturdy middle-aged NPC said angrily: "This bowl of angry rice in the Yamen is not delicious, no, the Xiangma Gang has fallen, and there is no one in their courtyard, the lord ordered us to take it back or sell it to other residents after the government takes it back." β
Speaking of this, he looked around, then covered his mouth with one hand and approached An Ran a little and said softly: "You have collected the things in Ma Shaokun's yard, in fact, this yard is also good, why don't you take it away together?" What about the official auction...... Well! The price is actually not high. β
An Ran wanted to tell him that this was not done by Tai Anbang, but after listening to the second half of this person's words, the young man became interested, and he no longer explained what he said before, and some things became darker and darker.
"Huh?" An Ran was puzzled: "Is this house going to be sold?" β
"Most likely," the official whispered, "The county government is already wide enough, and the adults have not yet had the leisure to collect so many houses as office space." Who doesn't want to have that little more money in their pocket? It stands to reason that I can't reveal this to you, but that's it! Boss Enron and Boss Lone Smoke are very good to us brothers on errands on weekdays! It doesn't hurt for us to talk about it ourselves. β
"When will Lao Tzu be good to you?" An Ran thought, "This is obviously what you want to do with us!" β
But of course, he just thought about it in his heart and wouldn't say it, in fact, An Ran was still annoyed that he didn't have a red envelope on him, otherwise he would really have to seal a red envelope to this officer.
"Thank you Brother Li for reminding me," An Ran also turned his mouth towards the servant. "When you are done with official business, the brothers will have a drink together."
"Boss Enron, don't you dare not come!" The officer was very happy, "I have to go in, it's not good to be seen after staying here for a long time." He said.
Fan Yuntian's firecracker made him receive a good piece of news, in fact, An Ran was also very happy in his heart, leaving only the complacent NPC kid to follow him out of the city.
The sun is warm, and the green bamboo is rampant. On the suburban road leading to Lake Mochizuki, some trees begin to sprout, and in the distance is a bamboo forest that sways in the wind, and there are large fields in front of the bamboo forest.
Today is the first day of the first lunar month, and every family is still at home for the New Year, but I believe that it will not be long before there will be many NPCs dressed as farmers standing in the fields to plant seedlings and sow seeds. At that time, it is inevitable that some small monsters will destroy crops, and of course, it is also essential to have some NPCs and players who issue tasks, and they will cooperate with each other to kill those hateful little monsters from three times or four, and they can get experience and rewards; They can also hope for a good harvest. Picture scrolls are always generated under the control of the Huaxia system.
"Don't take evil as a small thing," An Ran took a sip of wine from his waist and then handed it to Fan Yuntian, "Your behavior of throwing firecrackers into people's yards is wrong." Of course, this is not necessarily evil, many times it may be due to the child's naughty and curious nature, but we must try to control this kind of mind, otherwise it may become a small evil, just like we should think carefully when we insert firecrackers into cabbage, if I blow up a crop, it will ruin someone's hard work. β
"Got it! Got it! You're very annoying, Brother Anran," Fan Yuntian first threw out the lit firecrackers and then took his wine jug, "You idiot and you're not a gentleman in the school to tell Lao Tzu what great principles of life - what?" Fry firecrackers in cabbage? Suddenly, this NPC boy with pointed ears and round eyes was full of longing.
There was a thud between them.
Seeing him like this, An Ran had to shake his head, "If Fan Yuntian becomes well-behaved, then he is not Fan Yuntian." "The youth thought.
He originally planned to level up well today, the new year! A new beginning, as a gamer, you don't play the game to farm monsters and level up, do you go to the mountains and rivers?
However, at this moment, they were playing in the mountains and rivers, they first visited Hao Qiye at the water transport wharf, An Ran sent some pastries bought from the city, Hao Qiye pulled them to eat and drink on the boat, during the banquet the man explained to An Ran why he had not sent anyone to help that day, the young man laughed, and then they found a small boat to wander on the lake.
The blue waves are thousands of miles, the distant mountains are like daisies, this situation and this scene An Ran can't help but learn to sing poetry after the literati and.
Just listen to him read:
Shengri Xunfang Surabayashore,
The boundless scene is new.
Waiting for leisure to know the east wind side,
Thousands of purples and thousands of reds are always spring.
Fan Yuntian said:
The light rain in the heavenly street is as moist as a crisp,
My master is as stupid as a pig.
Yes!
The years of swords urge people to grow old,
Soft bananas, purple grapes.
"Good poetry!" The NPC kid was very satisfied with his sprawled sentences, and casually lit a firecracker and threw it towards the lake, which exploded into a big splash.
"Where the did you find these bastard sentences? It's insulting! An Ran was angry.
"Where the are you going?" Fan Yuntian sneered, "This poem is obviously a metaphor for the author's good wish to pursue the way of the saint, and you use it to praise the scenery of spring, it is really half a pot of water jingling." β
"Oh? You know again," An Ran raised an eyebrow and looked at his servant, "Boy, I'll ask you who the author is?" Of that dynasty? β
"Zhu Xi! The character Yuan Xuan, the number of obscurity, the Song Dynasty physicist, thinker, philosopher, educator, poet, Confucianism, known as Zhuzi. He was the only one who was not a disciple of Confucius and was worshiped in the Confucian Temple, among the twelve philosophers of the Dacheng Temple, and was worshiped by Confucianismβis it enough? Fan Yuntian gushed a lot and then asked.
An Ran nodded painfully and was surprised, "How does this little bastard know about the historical celebrities of our world?" He thought.
"You copied it from Baidu, right?" The handsome young man was convinced, and asked rhetorically.
"You don't care how Lao Tzu came here, it's better than you, the one who reads books into the belly of a dog."
Standing at the stern of the boat and shaking the oars, Hao Qiye couldn't help but smile in his heart, although this vulgar man who was immersed in the rivers and lakes couldn't understand some of their words, but the two masters and servants were really funny, just when he couldn't help but grin, he suddenly found that the lake in front of the boat turned snow-white.
An Ran and Fan Yuntian also noticed something unusual, the white water began to shake, and then slowly stretched, forming a white water flow that was more than 100 zhang long, and the water began to wander in the lake like a streamer, and then slowly came towards the small boat of the three. Although it swam slowly, the lake was swamped with waves that made the boat undulating.
The three of them stood on the boat like a log, staring at each other with their eyes fixed on the front, and neither of them spoke to each other, except for they could only hear their own heartbeats, for they all knew that the white thing that was swimming was like a living thing.
With a bang, the waves on the bow of the boat rose in all directions, and a white head as big as a car and shaped like a tiger slowly rose less than ten meters in front of the boat. The white skull had a single horn and a faint trace of lightning entwining, and the huge head was held up by a body as thick as a waist pole and covered with scales the size of a palm.
The skull rose higher and higher, blocking the sun from the sky. Its eyes were like copper bells, condescending, and looking at the three of them with fierce eyes, it turned out that this was a white Jiao that was more than 100 zhang long.
"Hah...... Ha! Bai Jiao yawned and made a dull voice like a cow, "Today is not the second day of the second month of February, human beings, you are too noisy, old man, is it easy for me to sleep peacefully?" β
It was huge and terrifying, and bursts of white mist erupted from its nostrils from time to time, and the appearance of the dragon had already frightened the three people on the ship in place, and they didn't dare to come out.
"Who threw the firecracker just now? There's a kind of standing up! Bai Jiao roared loudly.
The three of them still stood there and looked at it without speaking.
Bai Jiao was a little impatient, and his tail that was dragged a hundred feet away jumped high like a giant whip and smashed into the water, only to hear a muffled 'bang', and a huge splash on the surface of the lake.
"How does this sound compare to your firecrackers?" Bai Jiao continued, "You didn't plant it, did you? The old man will eat all three of you. β
Its head slowly descended and its mouth had opened its bloody mouth, its teeth were as thin and hooked as a snake's fangs, and its tongue was forked like a snake's letter. This proves that this Jiao has not lost some of the characteristics of the snake, although it has spiritual sense, it has not yet reached the realm of walking Jiao.
"What do you want to do with what Lao Tzu threw it?" Fan Yuntian pulled out the dagger at his waist with a snort, and the Soul Eater glittered in the sunlight.
Bai Jiao never expected that this young man in a foreign land would be so bold that he would dare to draw his weapon and glare at him. Who of the people around Mochizuki Lake does not respectfully call themselves 'Lord of the Lake God', and who does not go to the Lake Temple on the second day of the second month of February to burn incense and bow down to beg for good weather?
Bai Jiao laughed angrily, and it cracked its mouth and said, "Little guy, you are really a newborn calf and are not afraid of tigers!" Its head was already very close to Fan Yuntian, and suddenly thought of something, "Ahh The old man is a dragon...... Although it seems to be a little short of the dragon, it is by no means a weak tiger. β
"As long as you let them go," Fan Yuntian pointed to his master and Hao Qiye, "You can do whatever you want with me, we are good men and good men, even if your fists are hard, you have to be reasonable." β
"Will someone with a harder fist than you reason with you?" An Ran thought, "People are still like this, this kind of giant snake is cold-blooded by nature, will reason with you?" β
"You are far worse than the dragon," Although he was very nervous, An Ran still pretended to stare at the huge head with a calm face and said, "Can you do it if the dragon can breathe fire and spit water, turn over rivers and seas, and lift tens of thousands of miles into the air?" In my opinion! You're just a vicious eel in the pond. β
An Ran let himself out, anyway, in the face of this terrifying cold-blooded animal, it is useless for you to beg it bitterly, instead of kneeling and begging for mercy to let it be put on your own horse, it is better to die standing up, anyway, even if he and Fan Yuntian are killed, they can still be resurrected, it is a big deal to lose some equipment and experience, as for the NPC Hao Qiye...... Ask for more blessings!
"Fart! Fart! Fart! β
Bai Jiao became extremely painful after hearing this, and his body jumped up and twisted and circled in mid-air, and then fell back into the lake, so repeatedly, the entire lake was flooded with monstrous waves, and An Ran's boat seemed to be a leaf swaying in the wind, and there was a possibility of capsizing at any time.
A trace of white aura broke away from Bai Jiao's body like green smoke and dispersed in all directions, and it stretched out its huge claws to try to grasp the trace of aura, but the aura drained from its claws like time.
It was originally a white reckless in the mountains, painstakingly to the road for hundreds of years before it was able to fade out of the snake body out of the deep mountains and dived into the lake and turned into Jiao, Jiao wants to become a dragon needs to practice for thousands of years, and then swim in the river to follow the water transport into the sea, during this period to avoid the sword under the bridge and the thunder and lightning in the sky, if you are not careful, you will be magically cramped and peeled off the skin and died. Although their physique is far superior to that of humans, how difficult is it on the path of cultivation? If human beings have been able to soar in the light of day for hundreds of years, they can't, in addition to cultivating spiritual consciousness first, they will also be suppressed by various rules of heaven and earth, if they don't pay attention to their own behavior and sow evil consequences and violate the way of heaven, then the road to becoming a god will be cut off forever.
Human beings are the spirits of all things, born with three souls and seven spirits, and there are many knots in the body like stars. Human beings on the path of cultivation, whether it is comprehension or the speed of absorbing the essence of heaven, are beyond the reach of other beings, so why many elves and monsters in the mountains must first cultivate a human skin, in order to understand and seek the way of heaven faster, this is one of the reasons.
But, how can the road to becoming a god and an immortal be so easy? Although human beings are born with a good skin and spiritual sense, they are too smart, which leads to too many distracting desires in their hearts, and puts shackles on their hearts, making it difficult to cultivate the path. Animals and plants have rough skin and thick flesh, and their minds are firm, but their spiritual consciousness is not enlightened, and their spiritual consciousness is extremely poor, although they do not have so many distracting thoughts and desires, but the path of cultivation is like a drop of water.
What's more, when animals and plants arrive at the painting realm, they have to go through the test of human nature after they have the skin and heart of human beings. When your cultivation is close to the point where you can do whatever you want in the world, can you control yourself from doing whatever you want? This is a big test of the heart, whether it is a human being, or a cultivated adult elves and ghosts, monsters, and monsters, they have to go through this calamity. It is too difficult to cross the heart tribulation, so there are so many legends and stories left in the world, and there are beautiful and poignant shemales falling in love; There are terrifying and absurd ghosts that eat people; There are bloody and brutal monsters to cause trouble; There are also sanctimonious evil cultivators who deceive people's hearts; Therefore, under the Heavenly Dao, there are various sects that cross others and cross themselves, the purpose of which is to educate sentient beings and point out a path of cultivation for them.
Let's talk about the white Jiao, when it swam from the stream into the sleepy Longjiang River, I don't know how many hanging iron swords it went through, and it took a lot of hardships to come to this Moon Lake to inhabit. Trapped in the Dragon River, it is indeed a river that can trap the dragon, at the beginning, those who were killed by swords and thunder, and whose corpses turned into stones in the river and were washed by the torrent, were there still few? It can come to Mochizuki Lake not because of how high its ability is, but how right it is.
Eight hundred miles of moon water is mighty and blue, but there are not many disasters, thanks to Bai Jiao's kindness. In the year of the great drought, it will temper the loss of the Tao, absorb the water in the lake, jump up to the clouds, and spread rain for the people; When it encounters floods, it will use its body to block some of the broken levees and prevent the floodwaters from flooding the farmland. It is only eight or nine hundred years of Taoism, and what it does can only be within its ability, and it is the duty of the Dragon King Lei Gong to do it; The repair of the embankment is the business of the temple and the government, and it has done the same; Therefore, there will be a lake temple on Napeishan Island, and the people along the shore of Mochizuki Lake will call it a lake god, although the people have never seen this white Jiao, but they are willing to imagine it as a god who blesses the water and soil and allows it to enjoy the incense offering, although it is only a white Jiao and is not a real immortal.
So every sincere incense and every grateful heart have turned into a stream of merit and aura, which not only edifies the temple but also wraps Bai Jiao in a shining light, which is the toughest armor of Bai Jiao.
Bai Jiao's kindness stems from a karma. More than 800 years ago, when it was still a small white snake in the mountains, it was caught by the snake man because of the greed for the warm sun, and when the snake catcher was about to take its snake gall, a shepherd boy riding a bull suddenly appeared, and the shepherd boy bought the white snake from the snake catcher with a few copper coins and saved its life. When he released it, the shepherd boy muttered: "Originally, I was also afraid of snakes, but you don't have their scary patterns, and you still look a little cute!" Snake, snake, you leave quickly, and be careful not to be caught by others in the future. β
Since then, Bai Jiao has remembered the words of the shepherd boy, he is a lovely white snake, and he must be very careful not to be caught again.
(Some friends may secretly speculate, how does your bridge Lao Tzu feel like watching a certain TV series?) Yes, it was very similar at first, but I was not prepared to let him repay the shepherd boy for saving his life. οΌ
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and the white snake in the mountain is practicing, and it is cultivating this life; The shepherd boy under the mountain is also practicing his cultivation in the afterlife. The vicissitudes of life in the world have been hundreds of years, but the immortals are at their fingertips.
Many years later, they met again, the original little white snake was about to become a behemoth of the river, and the immature little shepherd boy had already been reincarnated many times and now became a Pianpian scholar. Although time has passed, their hearts have not changed, and they are not evil and are dedicated to good.
That day, it was raining heavily, and a group of thieves forced the scholar with a bookcase on his back to the edge of a cliff, with the purpose of killing people and stealing his money.
Just when Reading Lang was desperate, the White Snake appeared, and it used its body as a bridge, building its huge body between the two mountains, allowing Reading Lang to walk over his body. Of course, the giant snake appeared as a bandit and fled in fright, but Reading Lang was really frightened, and he didn't dare to open his eyes to look at it anyway, so he could only stand in place and couldn't move.
The white snake thought for a long time, and finally said what the little shepherd boy said to himself many years ago, but changed one of the words and said: "Originally, I was also afraid of people, but you don't have their terrifying murderous aura, and you still look a little cute!" People, people, you leave quickly, and you must be careful not to be caught by others in the future. β
Strange to say, when the reader heard that it could speak, not only was he not afraid, but he walked from its body to the other side of the cliff with great peace of mind. Below was the chimsy stream, and from that moment on, the White Snake and the Reading Lang had crossed a ravine in their minds.
After many more years, the White Snake must go down the mountain and enter the water. It passed by the place where it met Reading Lang again, and found that a stone bridge was built between the cliffs, named 'Crossing the Bridge', and there was an iron sword hanging under the bridge, but all the big snakes in the mountains who did evil things, and wanted to swim through the stream under the bridge and turn into Jiao, without exception, were all killed by the iron sword, but the white snake swam into the trapped dragon river from the stream under the iron sword unharmed, and finally turned into a white Jiao.
This bridge was built by the original scholar, and the iron sword under the bridge was suspended by him. This person who only cultivates in the next life, who rode a bull and later reads, is a monk who is a monk.
It is precisely because of the good cause that it bears good fruits, and the wisps of aura that wrap the body are the gratitude of the people along the lake, and it is also the foundation of its life in this Mochizuki Lake, and it may become a protective barrier for going into the river and the sea in the future, but the young man on this small boat, just a fluttering sentence makes it lose ten years of work, which makes Bai Jiao how not to feel painful.
The words of a gentleman are comparable to cotton silk and sword, he can make you bathe in the spring breeze and make you frosty. For a cultivator like Bai Jiao, with their level and height, I am afraid that those ordinary fist blades in the world can no longer hurt them in the slightest, but if it is a word from a sage, it can make their Dao heart collapse.
Recklessly killing sages and sages punish their hearts, heaven and earth are not enough.
It was churning painfully in the air and water, and An Ran took the opportunity to use the 'Contemplation' skill on it. At this time, he knew that Bai Jiao's level had reached level 152, which was similar to the Dryad and Mr. Yu who guarded the mountain gate in Qingyun Mountain, and they might be slightly weaker than Xiao Bai, who had already entered the painting realm, but it was already very remarkable. Let me put it this way! According to the division of power of NPCs in Huaxia online games, this white Jiao has already entered the category of princely level, and it can be regarded as an invincible existence in the entire Mochizuki Lake, and it is the king of these 800 miles of water.
An Ran didn't cut it and said: "Lao Tzu still thinks it's amazing, it's only about one hundred and fifty levels, if it's in Qingyun Mountain, my Xiaobai can ride you as a horse." β
His words shocked Hao Qiye and made him gasp.
"Although I don't accept it either," Fan Yuntian shrugged his shoulders and looked at his master and said, "Before you despise others, can you first see how many catties and taels you have, and if you go to Qingyun Mountain, you will really be invincible in the world?" β
Bai Jiao slowly approached the huge young man in tatters, and it shook its head slightly, as if thinking about something.
"Why do you want to fight?" An Ran pulled out the bamboo stick on his waist and pointed to the head that was only a few meters away from him and shouted.
"Brother An Ran, why don't we keep a low profile?" Fan Yuntian tugged at the corner of his master's clothes, "Brother Bai Jiao is a hegemon, and he still needs to save face." β
Hao Qiye couldn't say a word, just nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice.
"Big brother?" Bai Jiao's huge head and body suddenly disappeared, "Old man, it's not too much to be your grandfather." β
An old man in a white shirt with a white beard and a pattern of fish scales appeared on the boat without warning, and he stared at the big and the small with his bare feet.
"Although you are a divine envoy," the old man said in a voice like a flood of bells scraping his long black nails, "but the old man doesn't buy it, you two little rabbit cubs seem to be very arrogant!" β
It changed into a human form, and its sudden appearance on the boat really startled the three of them, but An Ran quickly calmed down.
"What do you want? Bastard! An Ran raised his head and pointed at each other.
At this moment, Hao Qiye and Fan Yuntian thought of the word 'finished' in their hearts at the same time
"What do I want?" The white-haired old man was so angry that he stomped his foot and pointed at An Ran's nose and scolded: "Do you know that the little rabbit cub knows that just because of the 'evil yellow eel' you just said, it has damaged the old man's merit for ten years, how should this account be calculated?" β
"Lao Tzu still has such ability?" An Ran didn't know why this was at all and thought, "A player's words can make a prince-level boss downgrade, this Huaxia system is too!" β
So the handsome young man, who wanted to confirm the truth of the matter, prepared to try again.
"Evil Yellow Eel, Evil Yellow Eel, Evil Yellow Eel, you are Evil Yellowβ"
"βlittle bunny, don't hurt me!" Bai Jiao, who turned into an old man, was so frightened that cold sweat came out, and he stepped forward and covered An Ran's mouth with his dirty big hand.
Then he found that the merit qi in his body had not been lost at all as it had been at the beginning, so he stroked his chest with his other hand to settle down.
"Sure enough, as the old monk said: 'The words of the sage need to be sensed by the heart, otherwise it will not be regarded as carrying a knife to enforce the law.'" This kid has a benevolent heart and a bit of a gentleman's atmosphere, so his words just now made me lose my merits, but now he deliberately uses words to harm me. Thinking of this, the old man was angry, "Deliberately using words to undermine the merits of others, what kind of gentleman and sage is this?" β
An Ran didn't see wisps of white gas floating out of the old man's body again, and the old man's dirty big hands left his mouth.
"Huh! Why didn't it work? The young man thought, "Isn't that a spell?" Could it be that Lao Tzu's grammar and body are wrong? β
Where did he know that this was not a so-called mantra at all, and what he said just now was actually not to make Bai Jiao lose his cultivation, but to make it lose some merit. Everyone can say right and wrong, good and evil, but it takes a gentleman and a wise man to judge. If a sage in a high position pointed to a practitioner and said, "You are a bad person or a bad animal, because it is not impossible for a practitioner to be struck by a thunderbolt of heaven because of his words." It's like a judge in our court, if he decides that you are a prisoner with a hammer, he will naturally arrest you and take you to jail or shoot you.
Of course, becoming a sage and gentleman is extremely difficult in itself, not only does you need to constantly study and understand the principles of the world, but you also have to guide and educate the people of the world. It is difficult to know that it is already difficult to act, it is already difficult to understand the truth, and it is even more difficult to regulate your words and deeds and put yourself in their shoes. Otherwise, how could there be such hypocrites and hypocrites in this Chinese world who are sanctimonious in their words and deeds? The hypocrite understands the truth but does not do it, which is a misfortune for the temple and the rivers and lakes; The False Saint makes the rules, but allows himself to be above the rules, which is a disaster for the Heavenly Dao.
An Ran is naturally not a gentleman or sage, he is just a gamer who has entered Huaxia, he plays his own games, upgrades, fights monsters, does tasks, touches all kinds of opportunities, and he is what identity the system gives him, for example, when he met Fan Yuntian in Daoxiang Village, he had compassion, and the system gave him a 'benevolent heart' He was made into a beggar after he met Mei Si'an; The system will naturally make the seed sprout in the hearts of his game characters. If he doesn't do this, if he doesn't want to do this, what is he for? A gamer who has leveled up to the extreme? What did he do? No one knows, of course, you might say he's the main character! It's going to be a pervert in the future, and I don't fucking deny it if you think so.
Otherwise, how could he feel something in his heart, a simple sentence would make Bai Jiao lose ten years of merit, this is probably an ability to have a 'benevolent sacred heart'! If this goes on for a long time, will one day An Ran judge the good and evil life and death of NPCs in one sentence? I don't think so, first, Lao Tzu is the rule-maker; Second, even the protagonist with a halo should be reasonable!
"Don't you know, adventurer, that hurting people is deeper than a spear?" Bai Jiao, who has become an old man, has palpitations.
"How do I know what can make you drop with one word...... What gas? An Ran snorted and protruded a cloud of saliva towards the lake, "Besides, you jumped out first to be scary, anyway, if you don't lose the firecrackers, you have already lost them; Lao Tzu said it without saying it, so let's look at it! We definitely won't be able to beat you, but we can't stretch our necks to cut you down. β
The old man in the white shirt blew his beard and stared at the young man in front of him, "I am a lovely white snake" He thought of the words of the little shepherd boy hundreds of years ago, "I only do good deeds in this Mochizuki Lake, this is my merit for going to the river and the sea in the future, don't be angry, don't kill, ten years of merit is lost...... It's just repaired, this young man is not simple, he not only has the breath of a dragon on his body (An Ran's personal package has the dragon scales of the second master of the Red Gold Dragon King. And the Sacred Heart of the Kind. I'm messing with him now, if one day he really cultivates to become a sage and gentleman, won't I ask for my own suffering? β
The master and servant clenched their weapons and looked at him.
"Hey! Forget it," the old man was deflated like a ball and took the lead in defeat, "I'm unlucky old man, who told me that I can't bear the loneliness and have to come to see you, this little rabbit?" He said as he looked at the wine jug on An Ran's waist, "You give me a sip of wine to drink, how about our matter even if it's settled?" β
"It's that simple?" An Ran thought to herself, "Lao Tzu thought you were going to eat us!" β
"Give it to him! Give it to him! Seeing that he hadn't moved yet, Fan Yuntian urged like a plague god.
"It's just, it's not a big deal to have a drink." Hao Qiye reminded carefully.
An Ran took off the wine gourd and handed it to Bai Jiao, he was not afraid that he would drink his own wine, but that he would not return it to himself after he got the mixed wine gourd. But he could only hand it to him, what could he do? If he really wants to be able to rob blatantly, where can he run in this small boat in the face of more than one hundred and fifty level NPCs?
The old man took the wine gourd, opened the lid of the gourd, and poured a big mouthful, just when An Ran suspected that he was going to pour the gourd upside down, he stopped drinking and returned the gourd to the young man.
"There's not quite something wrong with this gourd," he asked, "how can it be so much drink?" And this wine is not quite right, although the taste is extremely bad, but ...... Hahahaha! A loss may turn out to be a gain! β
The old man burst out laughing, and then jumped into the water.
"Little rabbit cub, you have a familiar breath on your body, if you have the ability, come to my mansion, the old man will definitely invite you to drink good Lingquan wine."
After that, Bai Jiao waved its huge tail, and there was a big wave on the surface of the lake, leaving only the three people on the boat to look at each other.
