055 Re-encounter with the "old man"
Since the abandoned village had been completely burned to the ground by a fire of the white jade fox, and because the embers had not been extinguished and the temperature was too high, it was not suitable to go in at least for a day to check what other loot there were, so the two of them searched for a way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It took less than half an hour to reach the plain at the foot of the mountain, and the dirt road at the foot of the mountain stretched out and merged into a straight road that ran from north to south not far away.
"Speaking of which, this road should be able to lead to a nearby county, right?"
Because there is only one dirt road outside this village that extends towards the plain below the mountain, and judging from the sturdiness of the road connected by this dirt road, it must belong to the main road built by the local government at the county level, rather than the simple kind of goods that are stepped on by people, so Bai Ze speculated that he should be able to go to the nearby big villages and towns from here, and at the very least, he can find a roadside shop or post station or something, so as to ask what kind of road this dream world seems to be very real.
"But in which direction?"
After looking around, and not seeing any landscapes that might show signs of human activity, such as cooking smoke, Bai Ze decided that at this time, it seemed that he still had to rely on the most traditional guiding spell - the magic stick!
Picked up a branch from the side of the road that looked fairly neat, stood it on the ground, and then let go.
After the stick had been held steady for a moment, it swayed twice in a gentle breeze, and then fell in one direction of the road.
"Well, it's decided, let's go this way!"
After confirming the direction of the trip, Bai Ze took the white jade fox on the road without any psychological burden.
After all, this is just a dream, and there is no need to think about any food, clothing, housing and transportation, even if it is to go to a deserted mountain and wild place, if it weren't for the fact that he still doesn't know the situation of this place at the moment, for fear that he will accidentally send himself to the table of an old monster who lives in the mountains and forests, he is even going to enjoy the fun of mountain climbing and rock climbing here.
"Wait, there's someone over there."
As soon as he was mentally prepared, he heard Bai Yuhu pointing in the direction he had chosen and reminding, and it didn't take long for a group of about three or five people to come around from behind the forest on one side with swords and swords, so he was not in a hurry to set off, but stood aside and waited for the group of people to come over.
"That young man over there, aren't you from the mountain village over there?"
When the two sides were still thirty or fifty meters apart, a rough man in the lead over there raised his neck and shouted loudly, and asked while saying hello.
Because he felt that it was a bit too stupid to shout and respond to him in the air, and he also suspected that even if he tried his best, he would probably not be able to spread his voice that far, so Bai Ze didn't make a sound, just raised his hand and waved in response, waiting for them to come over.
"Hey, it's you? I thought you were gone! ”
Unexpectedly, those people had just walked about ten meters, and before the leader could speak again, a young man who followed him suddenly showed a surprised expression, and with an exclamation, he quickly overtook the other party, and just in the blink of an eye, he took a few steps and crossed a distance of nearly ten meters, and came to the young man.
"Uh...... You are? ”
Although the other party put on a look of acquaintance, the problem is that Bai Ze's eyesight in the nightmare is worse than those with high myopia, and everything is blurred, so even if there are people he knows, it is impossible for him to remember what the other party looks like.
But just when he was embarrassed and wanted to prevaricate, he was surprised to see the thick eyebrows and beard that were vaguely remembered in his mind from this person's face, although judging from his voice, facial features and body shape, this person was also in his early twenties, but the thick and thick eyebrows, and the raunchy scum, made this person suddenly more than ten years older, and looked almost thirty or forty.
"-You're the big brother with thick eyebrows?!"
Because even after playing the mosaic, there were still a few bright thick eyebrows and beards, which made Bai Ze suddenly recall the memory of the last nightmare, and thus recognized this enthusiastic young man who was quite familiar with him at that time.
"Ah, although my eyebrows are indeed a little thick, but this kind of name - ha, my surname is Yan, and I have three lines in the family, just call me Yan San."
After the thick-eyed young man rubbed his eyebrows a little curtly, he smiled and no longer dwelled on this, but looked up and down seriously at Bai Ze who was standing there.
At this moment, the three people who were left behind by him also walked over, two men and one woman, all wearing strong suits or long shirts like the uniforms of the sects in martial arts TV series, but they were different, half a circle around about two or three meters, and at the same time looked at him with curiosity, which made Bai Ze, who was alone, feel a little inexplicable pressure.
"Well, Brother Yan, I'm glad to see you're safe and sound—but what's the matter with you coming here?"
Because he was a little impatient with this kind of appearance as if he was being watched as a cherished animal, Bai Ze responded with a smile and took a step back slightly.
"Haha, I'm sorry, it's the first time I've seen the legendary immortals, so I'm a little too excited-although I've always heard that there are immortals to help you when they form a team to eliminate demons and in times of crisis, but who would have thought that the immortals have actually been with us from the beginning......"
Seeing this big brother talking to himself with great interest, and the few people around him were still looking at this side with the same eyes as they looked at giant pandas, Bai Ze couldn't help but feel embarrassed and funny, and he didn't know what was wrong with him, he would be mistaken for a fairy by them, he had always felt that he was the most down-to-earth—if it was ordinary, he would never be left behind! As for the childhood sweetheart next door or something, everyone will ignore it.
"Well, I wonder if you're misunderstanding? I'm not an immortal, I'm just an ordinary person......"
The young man who smiled dryly and wanted to explain the misunderstanding clearly, when he saw Yan San, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, put on a warm and clear smile of "I understand that you don't want to reveal your identity", and stepped forward and patted him lightly on the shoulder, Bai Ze understood that the misunderstanding was deep, and it was basically impossible to explain it clearly.
"En, I understand, after all, after you made a move, you should have returned to the heavenly court to report on your work, and now that you are here again, you must have a new mission and task - rest assured, these friends and I have unified our voice since you killed the bear demon that day, and we will never reveal your whereabouts - in fact, you don't have to care so much about knowing your identity, in recent years, there have been more and more heavenly officials and heavenly generals in the nether realm, as well as ghosts and demons from the underworld, and many gods and demons from the outer realm have also appeared, I heard that many of them have even joined many organizations and sects as guest secretaries and even disciples, so take it easy, we all understand! ”
Yan San's words made Bai Ze suddenly have a black line, he didn't expect that the heavenly officials, heavenly generals, divine envoys and ghosts in this world who only exist in legends and myths are so common, and no wonder he will be mistaken for an immortal - wait, speaking of which, he can not be counted as the elect of the thunder god, or the acting agent? In this way, it can be regarded as a bit of a heavenly court background, if it is said that it is a heavenly official, there is nothing wrong with it, but immortals or something......
"Are there really so many guys coming over here? Sounds like a fake—"
After Bai Ze sighed, although he felt that it was much different from his original idea, after all, in his cognition, perhaps only in the god list would there be such frequent interaction between humans and gods, especially after the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen cut off the ladder of heaven, and since then there has been no sympathy between heaven and man.
And in this dream world, all kinds of gods and immortals continue to go to the lower realm, not to mention, it seems that there are still many foreign forces and demons and monsters stirring up the wind and rain in it, and the mortal world does not seem to be very peaceful, just from this group of strong and capable martial arts people, and a large group of people before to participate in what demon eradication action, it can be seen that no matter what, this world will definitely not be boring.
"If this matter was mentioned ten years ago, basically everyone had the same opinion as you, even five years ago, it was not like it is now, it can only be said that the changes over the years are too great, the world has changed so fast, even those of us who were born and raised here find it incredible, not to mention those of you immortals who rarely come to this world, it should not be surprising to be surprised by this."
The big man, who had been standing on one side, was so muscular that his clothes were bulging, he stepped forward with a laugh and took over the conversation.
"My surname is Peng, my family is five, acquaintances call me Peng Wu, Qinjiazhai in Yunzhou, the heir of the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife, and I have seen immortals."
Seeing him clasp his fists and salute, the two people behind him also stepped forward.
"The inner disciple of the Water Moon Palace in Yunzhou, the water is Yingying, the immortal is in front of him, and the little woman is polite."
"Fusheng Immeasurable Tianzun, Xiaodao Chen Xuanying, Dao No. Empty Child, Yunzhou Qingyun Guan lay disciple, our sect and Yizhou Qingcheng Mountain are in the same vein, and I have seen immortals."
After returning the salute to these two people who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, Bai Ze found that he couldn't do it without introducing himself, but because he was indeed not an immortal, he was quite embarrassed at the moment, and he didn't know how to deal with himself in front of these people after his identity as an ordinary person was "revealed" in the future.
"My surname is Bai Mingze, and I don't have any reason, at most I have something to do with Lei Gong, and I have the support of spirit beasts, so you really don't have to be too polite."
Bai Ze thought to himself that he was just an ordinary person, and there was really nothing to talk about, but the problem was that these people had already held him so high, if he really didn't have any powerful goods, even if the other party wouldn't look down on him because of this, it would inevitably seem too low.
So in the end, after hesitating for a while, he decided to take out some dry goods, speaking of which, he also got two thunder seals from Lei Gong, so he got a "snap of the fingers thunder" supernatural power, and it is quite compelling to use Lei Gong as the backstage, at least it is a well-known fairy, and it is reasonable.
In addition, there are three big monsters with quite out-of-character strength as protectors, which can be called on-call, obedient and sensible, and it will not be embarrassing to put them out to say things - it's just that if you still call these little guys around you as monsters at this moment, not only will you feel uncomfortable, but you will also look down on them, so after thinking about it in the end, you still changed the term "spirit animal". Anyway, although Ugin Nu and Bai Yuhu are still demon bodies, they don't have any sense of evil, maybe it's not too far from the transformation of the demon power in their bodies into spiritual power, as for the red Jiao who is his killer weapon, he has already completed this process, and there are even signs of turning from spiritual power to divine power, so it is not too much to call it so.
Although he thinks that this identity is very good, it can only be called high or low, after all, although there is only one Lei Gong in the whole world, but if it is placed in the Taoist system, it is nothing, there seems to be the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder Puhua Tianzun who seems to be played by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and then followed by the Nine Heavens Lei Gong General, the Bafang Cloud Thunder General, the Five Directions Thunder Messenger, and finally the thirty-six Lei Gong, it can be said that the force fell into the quagmire in an instant.
In fact, strictly speaking, Taoism is actually an atheistic sect, starting from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, it is only about the way to be a person and do things, and there is no content related to becoming an immortal and becoming a god, that is, because of the blow of Confucianism, he turned to the direction of Zhuang Zhou and Fang Shi's set of escaping immortals, which led to the emergence of the so-called gods, but even so in the north it still maintains the traditional thinking of Taoism, as for the Taoist priests in the south. can only be described as deviant, and calling them Taoist priests is simply a brand of smashing Taoism, but because their classics are very useful for writing novels and making up myths, everyone pinched their noses and recognized it.
It's a pity that after arriving in the Ming Dynasty, the gang only thought about lifting their ancestors to the altar and enjoying the glory and wealth of the southern Taoist priests forever, and inserted a large number of ancestral spirits and heroic spirits into the various real power departments of the heavenly court, which diluted the absolute status of Lei Gong, but unfortunately in the world or Lei Gong's belief is unshakable, in comparison, the vast majority of people don't know who the gods of the Lei Department are, and even know very little about the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder Puhua Tianzun nicknamed Lei Zu. This is also the inevitable result of the fact that the things of faith do not exist at all. In fact, the so-called thunder gods, and even the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder Puhua Tianzun, are actually no such person, and there is not even such a priesthood at all, and if you carefully verify, you will find that this so-called thunder supreme god, as well as the extremely serious thunder god position, are actually made up at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and as early as two hundred years ago, when heaven and man have been separated forever, this kind of made up god position and the actual situation in the heavenly court naturally cannot have any relevance.
In fact, Lei Gong, the god who is in charge of the yang energy of the heavenly court, the thunder in the world, and the changes of yin and yang, although the changes in the Three Emperors and Five Emperors and even the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods are extremely intense, but since the Warring States Period, the gods on this throne have been fixed, and there has been no change for three thousand years. Time has not been affected in any way, at this moment, it is really incredible - you must know that the gods who can be more powerful than it may only be Taiyi (in fact, it refers to the "Dao"), the Three Emperors (the Emperor Fuxi is the head of the dragon body, the Earth Emperor Nuwa is the head of the snake body, the human emperor Shennong Niu's head is the body), the five emperors (the Yellow Emperor, the Emperor Zhuan, the Emperor Yu, Yao, Shun), the Three Officials Emperor (the Heavenly Official, the Earth Official, the Water Official), the Taishang Laojun (Sanqing), the soldier master Chiyou, the Stove Wangye, the Ma Wangye, the ancestor, the Fulu Shou Samsung, the door god (Shen Tu/ Yu Lei, Qin Shubao/Wei Chi Gong), Zhao Gongming, the God of Martial Wealth, Guan Kou Erlang, Wang Lingguan, Eight Immortals, Zhong Kui and Guan Gong, and many of them are dead people, not born gods, and the age of existence is not as long as him, the gap is obvious.
As for Bai Ze, he didn't know much about the situation here, even if he had seen Lei Gong, it was not enough for him to know so much about the heels inside the Heavenly Court, so naturally he didn't know that this statement "has something to do with Lei Gong", in fact, for those insiders, what a terrifying revelation it was-this feeling, in layman's terms, was like those Taoist priests who used the Lei Fa claimed that they were covered by Lei Zu, and as long as they opened their mouths, they could call for wind and rain, and attract thunder and lightning.
In addition, the immortals who can control and drive the spirit beasts, in fact, if you count them carefully, you will find that there are really not many, the more well-known ones in Buddhism are those famous Arhats, and the Western Wide-eyed Heavenly King, the rest are Bodhisattvas, and each of them has at least one head, as for the immortals of the Daomen, they can take a few dragons at every turn, and there are many gods and birds and beasts around them, but they are all three emperors and five emperors. You must know that even the famous Erlang Zhenjun is just a roaring dog, in addition to the other ones that can be called a grade, that is, the green ox of Taishang Laojun, the white deer of the Antarctic birthday star, the jade rabbit of Chang'e, and the nine lions of Taiyi Tianzun's mount, and the rest are all in the twenty-eight nights as star officials - in this way, there are spirit beasts that can be driven to protect the Dharma, which is basically at least the treatment of a genuine immortal.
So, after he said this, the four people present immediately stood in awe, and some of the thoughts that were a little contemptuous or not very respectful because of his young appearance and immature simplicity without worldly affairs were all immediately extinguished.
In particular, Bai Ze's appearance that he seemed a little ashamed to mention was really very impactful and expressive-the so-called invisible pretense was particularly deadly-and his natural expression of "I'm still far behind" of shame put forward, which inevitably made people wonder what a high circle he was in before, so he would naturally look up to him even more.
