Chapter Twenty-Six: Going Dark
Standing on the top of the South Five Slopes, you can see the outline of Tianmen Mountain from afar, like a dream, true and false, as if Tianmen Mountain is the heavenly realm that towers above the clouds, sacred and supreme, making people feel worshipful, but this kind of distant view, is dozens of miles away, even so, I am still very happy, there is still a month before the three-month period, as long as you find the predecessor of Heling Gong, the master can resume cultivation.
A simple small house, which is where Cheng Laohan lives, is indeed as Tian Qilang said, before he got close, he had already smelled a strong aroma of wine, and he came to his nose.
"Is Old Man Cheng at home?"
Tian Qilang smiled and walked into the small courtyard, saying that it was a small courtyard, but it was a fence surrounded by some wattle bamboo tubes, and the west side of the small courtyard was dried with a piece of dried sake lees, and on the east side, there was a bunch of empty wine jars.
In addition, firewood is piled up outside the yard, and the whole thing is like a small farmer in the mountains.
There are three rooms in the house, the bottom is made of stones, the top is made of adobe, and the top is a thatched cover, and after waiting for a long time, seeing that no one answered in the courtyard, Tian Qilang couldn't help but look back at us with interest.
Although no one answered, the door of the thatched house was hidden, indicating that there were people inside.
"Old man Cheng, are you at home? I'm Shichiro, come back to see your old man, and introduce an old wine fairy to you by the way, hehe! ”
Tian Qilang pushed open the door a little impatiently, at this moment, I frowned inexplicably, inside the door, there was clearly a trace of yin qi, could it be that Old Man Cheng was an ancient?!
"Old man Cheng! Mr. Cheng, what's wrong with you......"
Suddenly, Tian Qilang rushed into the inner room quickly, and Master and I glanced at each other and walked into the courtyard, and when I came to the room with Master, we saw Tian Qilang sitting on the edge of the bed, his fingers resting on the pulse of an old man with gray hair.
The old man's face was like ashes, and his body was lying stiff on the bed, as if he was unconscious, and as if he were ...... Pass away......
"He ......"
"Shh
Before I could ask, Tian Qilang suddenly stretched out his finger and put it to his mouth and made a silent gesture, however, Master glanced at the old man on the bed, then turned his head to the hall and sat down, I hurriedly chased him out, and asked in a low voice, "Master, has Old Man Cheng passed away?" ”
"Of course not!"
The master responded sharply, but glanced around and muttered, "Where did this old fellow hide his good wine?" Well? Why don't you just smell the wine and not see it?! ”
"Uh...... Master, Old Man Cheng is sick like that, why did he come out to entertain us? Besides, we can't drink his wine without permission, right? That's not ......."
I sighed and was about to sit down, but I was kicked up by Master, and I hurriedly said, "Master...... What's wrong with your old man?! ”
"Get some wine!"
With a wave of his hand, Master leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.
"Uh...... But old man Cheng, he ......"
"He's not sick!"
The master narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "I won't die, but my soul is gone......"
"Huh? Soul gone?! Is this still a trivial matter? That's right...... Why is Old Man Cheng's soul gone? ”
I looked at Master in amazement, and Master just glanced at it, how could he know.
At this moment, Tian Qilang walked out, and without waiting for me to ask, he went straight to the master, and said suspiciously: "Senior Zhang, Old Man Cheng's symptoms are very strange, his soul is gone, could it be that he was hooked by something?!" ”
Hearing this, I looked at Master in a slight shock, and Master was really right.
"His life is not over, who can hook his soul?"
The master frowned, blew his beard and said.
"But his soul is indeed gone!"
Tian Qilang stretched out his hand and scratched his chin, indicating that he was at a loss...... "This situation is really rare, he is already this age, and his longevity has not yet arrived, there should be a birthday star, evil spirits and ghosts, who would have thought of harming him?" It's weird, it's weird! ”
"Shichiro!"
The master said lightly, "Haven't you thought about what else can make people wander outside the world?" ”
"Huh? What does Senior Zhang mean...... It's not that old man Cheng, but ...... The body of cultivation?! This, this I ...... When I first met him, why didn't I see it? This is really a real person...... Hahaha......"
Tian Qilang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"What you said is not entirely right, he is true to cultivate, but this time it is not cultivation, but a yin ......"
The master said with a cautious face, and after speaking, he turned his head to look at me and reprimanded impatiently: "Stinky boy! Why are you still standing here when you're looking for wine?! ”
"Oh!"
I nodded hurriedly, but I was quite interested in what the master said about walking yin, just because in my family preaching, there was also a learning of yin, but I missed some methods when I was young, including walking yin, speaking of which, the family heirloom yin-yang mirror that I treasured in my arms is the magic weapon of walking yin-yang protection, but I have never walked through yin, so I have not used the yin-yang mirror, and I can't play the real role of the yin-yang mirror......
Therefore, when Master and Tian Qilang talked about going to Yin, I was quite interested, and while looking for the wine that Old Man Cheng treasured, I was also pricking up my ears to listen to the conversation between Master and Tian Qilang.
"What does Senior Zhang mean is that Old Man Cheng is helping people out of the yin now?"
Tian Qilang turned his head and glanced at the inner room, and then said in surprise: "It's not like it, since you help people go to the yin, where is the fate?" ”
"Of course the owner is in the owner's house, otherwise he can still sit in front of you and talk to you!"
The master glanced at Tian Qilang angrily, and then said: "There are many strange people in Qishi Town, and it is not surprising that Old Man Cheng has the ability to go to the yin, in addition to wanting to taste his wine now, I still have a question, I need someone to help me solve it!" ”
"Senior Zhang, you old man have any questions, but it doesn't hurt to say, maybe we can figure out a way together!"
"Yes, yes, Master, I can also help figure it out!"
"Look for wine with your heart! It's none of your business, you can't find wine tonight, you don't have to eat! ”
I suddenly jumped out, but it made Master and Tian Qilang stunned, but Master was furious in an instant, and I hurriedly threw myself into the great cause of seeking wine again......
"Strange people are so virtuous, Old Man Cheng's soul seems to have been gone for a while, and he hasn't come back yet, someone must have trapped him, what I wonder now is, who trapped him!"
The master blew his beard, obviously displeased.
"Who can trap Old Man Cheng?! He is helping people to go out of the shadows, if this matter is stirred up, it will be punished by God! ”
Tian Qilang said angrily.
"Someone's ......"
Master slowly stretched out his hand to stop Tian Qilang from talking, and sure enough, a little fat man walked in, it was actually the little fat man we met earlier, as soon as he entered the door, he greeted Master and Tian Qilang and me one by one, and then said respectfully: "Old man, I came to Grandpa Cheng's house to get three jars of wine back." ”
"Three jars of wine? Why is that?! ”
Master stood up and asked in surprise.
"This is what Grandpa Cheng ordered early in the morning, if you haven't woken up yet, go to his house to get three jars of wine."
The little fat man said seriously, after speaking, he walked to the center of the hall by himself, raised his foot and knocked on the ground, my eyes lit up, and I dared to love the old man Cheng who hid all the good wine underground!
No wonder I couldn't find it!
The little fat man quickly picked up a touch of dust, revealing a square wooden board, there were chains on the board, seeing the little fat man to grab the chains, I hurriedly went to help, I never thought that the chain was so heavy, and it was more than 100 pounds, but I went with the little fat man to work hard, I was tired and grinned, and the little fat man didn't catch his breath, I was shocked!
