Chapter Ninety-Nine: Earthly World

Say it earlier, scare Lao Tzu!

After settling down, Jin Siniang had already used the breeze to blow away the fog in front of us, clearing a clearing on the altar above the clouds. For the sake of caution, Ah Xia and I still cautiously touched the motionless black-clothed rider and examined it carefully. I saw that the rider who looked like an obsidian statue was wrapped in a layer of pale yellow clear paraffin wax out of thin air, completely cutting off his movement and body from the surrounding time and spaceโ€”in this translucent thin shell, even with the use of Wangqi, I could no longer see the ghostly aura flowing on his body.

It's like you're frozen in the void. It's magical.

After making sure that it was safe, the six of us also took care of each other and walked to the two people in the place where the rain and fog dispersed.

I saw that the man in gray had a high bun, a handsome appearance, elegant manners, and a dusty posture. The jaw is open, but seeing that the ten fingers of his hand stroking the piano are lightly plucked, and the sound of the piano is played without a trace of distraction, which seems to be able to glimpse the purity of his heart. And the woman beside him who lovingly helped him beat his soft shoulders and backs surprised us even more - he hadn't approached before, and he wasn't amazed yet; Now when I came to him, I found that all of us, except for Ah Xia, all of us seemed to have become a pale background, and we could only look at the peerless face with red lips and white teeth in the sound of this heavenly piano.

Wait a minute! We've gone through all the hard work to get here, but not to see you two show your affection for dogs!

After trying to calm my mind, I hurriedly cleared my throat, and was just about to open my mouth to mention the matter of returning to the human world, when I suddenly remembered that I was not familiar with him, so why should I help us? Let's rely on a few middlemen to pull the relationship first. I had made up my mind, so I hurriedly pressed my heartbeat, stepped on the node where the sound of the gray-clothed Yashi had come to an end, took two steps forward, and said aloud:

"Can the owner take a step to speak? To tell you the truth, when we broke into Guizhuang by mistake, we met three Mo masters in front of the door, and the three of them once vowed to continue the unfinished competition with their own designs. Seeing that the manor has been completed for many years, the owner has no intention of giving a judgment, so he asked me to bring you a letter, can you comment on their works a few words, so as to decide the winner? โ€

"I see. Those three Taoist friends...... Well, I'll help them today, but it's a long-cherished wish. Hearing this, the gray-clothed gentleman with noble manners pondered for a while, and finally nodded in agreement, and with a wave of his wide robe, he had already summoned the three Mo family masters he had met at the main gate before.

"The old man participates in Dr. Fan and Mrs.!"

"Join the two owners!"

"Hello Boss! Hello sister-in-law! โ€

When I took a look, the long-bearded elder, the empty Taoist, and the bearded guest had already seen the owner and his wife in front of the piano platform, and they were stunned for a moment, and they all respectfully bowed in their own ways.

"The three Taoist friends are not harmed." Fan Li saw that the three of them were presented, hurriedly stood up from behind the piano platform, stretched out his hand, pulled up the three one by one, stroked his sleeves, and wiped the sacrificial platform under everyone's feet as transparent as glass, and judged the masterpieces of the three one by one on the overlooking scene.

"Beard, let's talk about you first." Fan Li saw that the bearded man was anxious, squinted slightly, and smiled lightly: "There is no problem with the idea." According to the gift of the four elephants, the compound is divided into four areas: east, south, west and north, and at the same time it is paired with metal, wood, water and fire, which secretly combines the qi of heaven and earth. โ€

When the bearded man heard this, he couldn't help but show a smug look on his face. It's just that he hasn't been handsome for more than three seconds, and he heard the gray-clothed gentleman who deliberately set aside time to make him nervous continue:

"It's just that, since it is compatible with the five elements, how can there be no 'earth' image that carries all things? Therefore, under the pretense of heaven's will, I insisted on letting you add this 990-zhang high 'sacrificial roof' to the pattern. Standing in the center of the 'earth', the matter of worshipping the heavens, in the name of heaven and earth, asks the way of balance......"

Before Fan Li finished speaking, the bearded guest listened to it in his ears, and took a step back with a red face - it is estimated that he had always thought that the owner of the village was just willful, so he let him temporarily build a towering stargazing platform before the completion of the mansion. Now that he has learned the truth, the central sentiment can be expressed by more than a "ashamed".

"As for Brother Void-" Fan Li saw that the bearded man was already ashamed of himself, so he naturally stopped, and as soon as he spoke, he had turned his attention to the Jade Plate Method of the Void Daoist: "The puzzle design that simplifies the complex is indeed beyond my expectations, especially the function that can directly teleport guests to a specific area, which also saves me the effort of going out to welcome guests, which is worthy of praise." โ€

When the empty man heard the owner's praise, he was about to raise his eyebrows, but suddenly remembered what happened to the bearded guest, and he also kept an eye on it, and only looked at Fan Li with a pair of fine eyes, for fear that he would suddenly devalue himself as worthless.

"Butโ€”"

Sure enough, if it was so easy to get the praise of the winner of the Mojia Skills Competition, he wouldn't have to fight with the other two. I only listened to Fan Lilun's scarf, and continued to say calmly:

"If I hadn't bothered you to add a double-ring synchronization design, wouldn't anyone be able to enter the backyard I had carefully carved for Xizi as casually as my wife and I did?"

Thinking of this, Ah Xia and I couldn't help but think of the very weird and tricky synchronous pranayama design. Indeed, on Fan Li and Xi Shi, who are united in their hearts, this little carving insect skill is really nothing, but it is really difficult to find two temporary combinations of people and let them cooperate so tacitly.

Hearing Fan Li's comments, the empty man also realized that the small embellishments that the owner had added to his design had actually achieved the most important feature of the mechanism: it was beneficial to us and bitter to the enemy. Looking at it this way, the prototype of his own jade plate mechanism is indeed a little unsatisfactory.

When he retreated dejectedly, the only remaining white-bearded old man couldn't help but take a step forward with his head held high. What he thinks in his heart, I can actually guess a few points: this long-bearded Taoist person, by virtue of often following Fan Li out to run errands, has the most thorough understanding of his intentions, and the feng shui bureau he has made is naturally impeccable. At least, that's what he thought.

"Long beard, your problem is actually obvious."

What the?! Hearing Fan Li point out his shortcomings as soon as he spoke, Elder Longbeard almost stood unsteadily and fell to the ground. Looking at his face, I know that his inner monologue at this time must be: Zhuang Master, I did exactly what you thought, how could there be a problem?

"Drawing the eternal water of the River Styx, infiltrating the four parts of the manor, circling the city for three weeks, and converging in the vestibule, is worthy of a unique way of gardening. It's just that old friend, if you are familiar with the "Book of Medicine", how can you not know: the mansion is like a person, and it is inevitable that it will be invaded by evil spirits; If the whole courtyard of the house is surrounded by the black water of destroying the law, and the evil qi comes in, won't it be impossible to rush out? Therefore, I made a slight modification, so that the river water that gathered in the front yard turned back at the rockery, so as to leave the front door, and surrounded the three missing one, so that the lost demons could escape with their whole body. โ€

When Ah Xia and I heard this, we naturally suddenly realized why we were thrown out of the main gate when we were dressed in gray and shook our sleeves. It turns out that this clever doctor Fan, although he has cultivated the Tao, there is no lack of Confucianism in his actions, and he is indeed a well-known posthumous master. In addition to admiring, I can't help but cry out for the three Mo family masters - in the end, the three of you still have a tie after all, and you are still not equal, what should I do? Do you want to try more?

"Mr. Xie's advice!"

I'm still struggling, but the three of them have already clasped their fists together and made a more respectful salute than before, and to our surprise, the three of them flashed at the same time the long-cherished wish of Wu Zixu's soul when he returned to the earth.

"You areโ€”" Puzzled, I asked as I stepped forward and puzzled.

Seeing that I was anxious, the head of the long beard also stopped for a while, and on behalf of the three of them, expressed his gratitude to me: "Little friend, don't stop me. You don't know, the three of us, before and after their deaths, are all chasing the ultimate in ingenuity, but they ignore the 'heart' of the craftsman who is based on the foundation, which has led to a number of works, which are in vain, unable to concentrate, and are always a little short of the 'peerless treasures'. If it weren't for Mr. today's point breaking, we might still be in the mud pond of chasing fame and fortune, and we would be ashamed of our name and reputation. โ€

"What Elder Longbeard said is extremely true!" When the empty Taoist on the side heard this, he also went on to express his opinion: "Now that we understand the insignificance of our vision, we let go of our knots and decided to re-enter reincarnation, find our own 'way of craftsmanship' in the three thousand worlds, and hope that Xiaoyou will be fulfilled!" โ€

"Yes!" The bearded guest is not as eloquent as the two of him, and his temperament is the most urgent, and he only has time to say a word, and his soul is the first to infiltrate the earth and be reincarnated.

I see.

Since the parties concerned have expressed their will, what reason do I have to stop me, a crowd of onlookers who eat melons? Moving away from the steps I took, I finally watched the spirits of the three of them gradually dissipate from my eyes. Faintly, I was a little reluctant to them. Although we haven't been together for a long time, I really can't hate these fast-talking and weird comic tech nerds.

It's definitely not because they "bribed" me with the gift!

"Okay, let's talk about you."

was still worried about how to speak, but I didn't expect the owner Fan Li to be empathetic and put it up first.

"Actually, it's not that hard to get out of here. You have now reached the apex of the altar, just like this-" As he spoke, Fan Li flipped his wrist, and a gust of wind had already rolled up, and he had already summoned the fragments embedded in the four poles of the pillar under the stage. Strange to say, those four fragments that we couldn't put together in any way reached his hands, as if they were gathered by an invisible qi, and instantly condensed into a copper fan that was as complete as it was before, without any cracks.

"Hold it and aim it at the gossip table, and when the fan shows its earthly appearance, you can leave."

I see, it's the same as when we were sucked into the Santu River from the copper tripod of the Laozhai altar. It's just that, this time, there is no longer a need for the ghost monkey Xiaoshi. Tomb Hunter East White
