Chapter 14: There is action
After having breakfast, I learned a lot about the cultivation world and cultivation-related things from Hu Tiekui.
The two understandings gave Liukin a general understanding of the cultivation circle and strange things.
The practice is difficult.
And science and technology are changing with each passing day, and everything can be done in the heavens and the earth.
Instead of cultivating hard, it is better to work hard to make money.
So there are fewer cultivators nowadays, and even fewer are accomplished.
In a word, it is that one generation is not as good as the next.
And the weirdness of the world is also much less than before, except for some dangerous places that have long existed, ordinary places, generally rarely encounter strange things.
Because it's not easy for ghosts to harm people, unless they encounter an opportunity and become a fierce ghost, they can't even touch people, let alone others.
Just like Hu Tiekui, more than ten years ago, he often followed Old Man Mao to run around and saw a lot.
Now for a few years, I have stayed at home and lived almost like ordinary people.
Such a situation made Liukin a little embarrassed.
Cultivation, becoming an immortal, the thing that living beings yearn for the most has also declined.
Sure enough, nothing in the world is eternal.
If it continues, maybe in the next few hundred years, there will be no more practice.
was chatting, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and there was a shout, which seemed to be called Old Man Mao.
Hu Tiekui hurriedly got up to look.
A moment later, a group of five people followed Hu Tiekui in.
Liukin looked at it curiously.
There were five people, three men and two women, all of whom were not very old, the man was a Taoist priest in his forties, a young man in his early twenties, and a burly man with an expressionless face.
One of the women is in her early twenties, and the other is about thirty, all of them are very beautiful, but they are wearing tight-fitting, free-flowing, and capable women's clothes.
The one in charge was a mature girl who was chatting with Hu Tiekui, far away and couldn't hear clearly.
After a while, Hu Tiekui arranged for five people to sit down in the living room and walked over.
"Senior Brother Hu, who are these people?" Liukin asked.
Hu Tiekui said: "Those who came to ask for help wanted to ask my master to go out of the mountain, but I think my master can't agree, the place they are going to is too dangerous." ”
With that, Hu Tiekui walked to the backyard.
Liukin became more and more curious.
What is the place that makes the practitioner feel dangerous? Is there some demon lurking?
After a while, Old Man Mao came over with Hu Tiekui.
Looking at his unhappy face, he is completely an old man who has the air to get up.
"Huh? Why are you here? Old Man Mao saw Liukin first and his eyes widened.
Liukin said with a smile: "I learned a lot from chatting yesterday, and today I came to thank my predecessors for their teachings." ”
"Heh, quite conscientious? It's a pity, it's a pity, I'm too old, I met me ten years earlier, maybe I'll accept you. Old Man Mao shook his head, obviously having a good impression of Liukin.
Liukin said: "I can get a few words of advice, I am already satisfied, and I don't dare to ask for too much." ”
"Not bad, not bad." Old Man Mao praised with a smile and walked to the living room.
Liukin groaned slightly and followed.
"The disciple will meet Master Mao and greet you on behalf of the master." The middle-aged Taoist priest stepped forward first and bowed to him.
"Come on, you don't need so many courtesies, and you're not an outsider, well, is your master still alive?" Old Man Mao asked.
The corners of the middle-aged Taoist's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a dry smile: "Master is still in good health, and he can eat three bowls per meal." ”
"Tsk, it's still a pig." Old Man Mao shook his head in disgust.
Middle-aged Taoist priest: "......"
"Huh? You have come to me, what is the matter? Old Man Mao sat down on a mahogany chair and looked at the group.
People are old and refined, not to mention that Old Man Mao is not shallow, and he can see clearly the reality of several people at a glance.
There is no need for evaluation, it is all rubbish.
"Uncle Shi, that's right, this is Miss Lu Mengxi Lu of the Nanqing Lu family, she is a medical expert, dedicated to the research of various new drugs to cure incurable diseases, and the drugs currently being studied need Yin Yue Cao as a medicine. Uncle Shi also knows that the Yin Moon Grass is born to the Yin and dies when it sees the Yang, and it can only grow in the abyss, and the place where it is known to exist is the Devil's Cliff. The middle-aged Taoist priest pointed to the mature woman and explained.
Old man Mao said with a smile: "Those who study medicine, treat diseases and save people, it's not bad, it's good to pick it if you need it, and no one stops you." ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled dryly: "Uncle Shi, that Devil's Cliff is also a fierce place where the reputation has been spread for hundreds of years, and what evil things are hidden in it, and it is impossible to predict, the disciple knows that his actions are limited, and he is embarrassed to be of great use, so he is willing to ask Uncle Shi to go out of the mountain and lead the team to explore." ”
"As long as the master is willing, I am willing to pay 10 million labor fees." Lu Mengxi added.
Old Man Mao smiled even more happily: "Wang Chen, do you think Uncle Shi is short of money?" ”
The middle-aged Taoist elder smiled dryly: "There is naturally no shortage of uncles, Senior Brother Zhenming's company is listed, and his family wealth is hundreds of millions, and the disciples are very impressed." ”
"And you're humiliating me?" Old Man Mao snorted coldly.
"The disciple doesn't dare." The middle-aged Taoist leader hurriedly denied it.
"Master Mao misunderstood, money is labor remuneration, and there will be a reward for paying, this is a fair deal, but I invite the master, money is not the point, as long as I can find the Yin Moon Grass, I am willing to offer a pill to make up for the sky." Lu Mengxi continued.
Mending the Heavenly Pill!
Old Man Mao jumped up at this time, looked at Lu Mengxi with a shocked expression, and continued: "How can you have this thing, this pill recipe for mending heaven has been lost for two or three hundred years. ”
Lu Mengxi said with a smile: "It's indeed lost, but by chance, I got a tangram box from an auction, and there is a Tianzhu Pill stored in it, although the medicinal properties may be a little lost, but for Master Mao's granddaughter, it is enough to cure her congenital deficiency due to premature birth." ”
Old Man Mao suddenly fell silent, his eyes flickering.
"Your purpose is not just as simple as the Lunar Grass, right?" After a moment of silence, Old Man Mao looked at Lu Mengxi and finally became serious.
Lu Mengxi said: "I know that I can't hide it from the master, it's like this, my grandfather has a disease, and it is difficult to treat it with medicine, and it is in danger, I searched for ancient prescriptions and studied it for nearly a month, so I have some eyebrows, but my new medicine lacks a lunar moon grass, and it must be a lunar moon grass with more than seven leaves." ”
"Seven-leaf yin moon grass, seven hundred years of fire, this is already an elixir, but wherever the elixir is, there must be a guardian spirit, which is indeed a difficult thing to get." Old Man Mao nodded.
Lu Mengxi said: "I can't help it, there are only a few masters who can go to the Devil's Cliff at present, and there are only one who is idle and free, the master, and please help me." After speaking, Lu Mengxi bowed deeply.
Old Man Mao sighed: "You are also a person with filial piety, and besides, you took out something that I can't refuse." ”
Lu Mengxi was overjoyed: "Thank you, master." ”
"Don't worry, I can go to Devil's Cliff, but I have two requests."
"The master commands."
"First, the Heaven Replenishment Pill must be given to me first."
"Yes."
"Second, follow my orders in all actions, otherwise you will not be responsible for any accidents."
"That's nature, as long as you can find the seven-leaf yin moon grass, everything is subject to the arrangement of major events."
An agreement was reached and it was agreed to leave tomorrow, and Lu Mengxi and his party left.
As soon as they left, the lively-minded Liukin couldn't help but speak: "Senior Mao, can you take me one?" ”
