Chapter 191: Once an Old Man
"You can speak Chinese." Zuo Dengfeng frowned when he heard this, and asked, this old monk in a round hat spoke fluent Chinese, but before that, he and the two red-clothed monks spoke Tibetan and were also fluent.
The old monk in the round hat smiled and nodded when he heard the words, some people don't look like good people with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks, and some people are born with a compassionate face, this old monk in the round hat is the latter, easy-going, generous.
"Master, we're not here to make trouble, please tell the two masters, we just want to cross the river, if we continue to compete, it's hard for me to guarantee that I hurt them with a good hand." Zuo Dengfeng didn't tell the old monk in the round hat where his qi gathering trick came from.
"The real person is not very old, and he is already a purple qi cultivator, which is really commendable, dare to ask you where the qi gathering trick comes from, talk a few words, and the old man will send the two of them across the river." The round-hated old monk asked with a smile.
After he finished speaking, Zuo Dengfeng did not immediately connect, light purple, purple qi, purple qi peak, this is the title of the Interception Sect Ziyang Concept for one point of yin and yang, two points of yin and yang, and three points of yin and yang, this old monk in round hat not only knows these, but also knows the name of the finger he pinched, which shows that this old monk has a great relationship with the young Taoist who taught him the trick of gathering qi.
"This qi gathering trick was obtained under the guidance of the predecessors of the Xia Meng Interception Sect." Zuo Dengfeng said after groaning.
"The old man asked again, what is the age of that real humanitarian number." The old monk in the round hat was overjoyed when he heard this, as people grow older, the smile is more and more used as a kind of etiquette for people to behave in the world, no matter how sweet the smile is, it is also hypocritical, this old monk in the round hat is very sincere in his smile at the moment, and the sincerity makes Zuo Dengfeng believe in an instant that this person is a friend and not an enemy of the Ziyang Temple.
But then Zuo Dengfeng was even more puzzled, he was chased by the monks of Shaolin Temple from Jiangnan to Jiangbei, and ran for a night before being driven to the former site of Ziyang Temple, from Henan to here there are no less than 5,000 miles, and Ziyang Temple is a Taoist, this person is a lama, how can they become friends.
"All I know is that his surname is Wen." Zuo Dengfeng replied truthfully, and at this time he had already determined that this person was not hostile to Ziyang Guan.
"Wen." The old monk in the round hat showed a puzzled look in his eyes when he heard this, although he was old, his eyes were not cloudy, and the spirit of a person who had achieved cultivation was sufficient, and he first reacted to his eyes.
"Yes, a very handsome young man." Zuo Dengfeng looked back at the jade whisk, but the jade whisk stayed where he was and did not step forward.
"It's been more than fifteen hundred years, and it's impossible for the eighth junior brother to still be alive." The old monk in the round hat counted the year on his fingers and muttered to himself at the same time.
Although his voice was very low, Zuo Dengfeng still heard his words, but Zuo Dengfeng was not overly surprised, because when he was in Ziyang Temple before, the Taoist priest had asked him how many years were in the third year of Kangxi, and these people who have achieved cultivation have a long lifespan, which is beyond the scope of the world's cognition, and even more beyond the scope of Western science's explanation.
"Master, if there are no questions, let's go first." Zuo Dengfeng said out loud, as the saying goes, Qingshan is still red in the sunset a few degrees, Huaxia is still that Huaxia, Shenzhou is still that Shenzhou, these will never change, only the people who once lived in this world will change and alternate, there is no doubt that this old monk in the round hat has a relationship with the Ziyang Temple in Henan, but those are the past events that have happened, and he has not much to do with it, Zuo Dengfeng only wants to cross the river now.
"Ziyang view can be returned to Taiwei now." The old monk in the round hat retracted his thoughts and asked.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded after a moment of silence when he heard this, the old monk in the round hat had great respect for Ziyang Guan in his words, Zuo Dengfeng didn't want him to be sad, so he nodded, in fact, Ziyang Guan had already become a ruin.
The old monk in the round hat showed a look of relief when he heard this, saluted to the left and climbed the peak, turned around and walked back, and turned back without taking a few steps.
"May the real people have peace of mind and realize the road early." The old monk in the round hat looked back and said.
"Thank you, Master." Zuo Dengfeng said thank you, the old monk in the round hat said this sentence out of good intentions, intended to remind him not to be paranoid in everything, according to the two red-clothed old monks' previous attitude towards him, this person is at least a living Buddha, presumably according to his face found something.
The old monk in the round hat nodded when he heard this, turned around and walked towards the two old monks in red, after talking in a low voice, the two old monks nodded, the old monk in the round hat turned around and raised his hand at the two, Zuo Dengfeng and Yufu saw this and quickly walked towards the suspension bridge in the northwest.
"This person must have a lot to do with Ziyang Temple." After crossing the bridge, Yufu said that she had heard the conversation between the two before.
"Sweep the frost off your own tiles first, and then take care of the snow at other people's doors." Zuo Dengfeng did not want to be distracted by this issue.
"The trick you practice is the spell of Ziyang Guan, and you don't want to know the past of Ziyang Guan." Jade Fu asked.
"I don't want to, this qi gathering trick was obtained by waiting there for half an hour, I don't owe him, I know what those things are for." Zuo Dengfeng raised his eyebrows and said.
Yu Fu didn't say anything more when he heard this, he folded the blanket in his hand and tucked it under his armpit, although most of the bedding was missing, the two of them were not overly worried, after all, people in cultivation are more cold than ordinary people.
Due to the urgency of time, the two of them immediately went straight south after crossing the river, the temperature here is very low, there are few snakes, insects, rats and ants, compared to the snakes and insects everywhere on the east bank of the Lancang River, the two still prefer here.
At this time, it is March of the lunar calendar, and it is not good to put the spring March in the south of the Yangtze River here, and the March here is still cold, but fortunately, the temperature is above freezing, and it is not very cold to walk through the foot of the mountain.
Soon the two came to the foot of the first snow peak, in order to have an intuitive understanding of the snow mountain, the two climbed the snow mountain, the so-called snow mountain is difficult to climb is only relative, it depends on who climbs, the two climb the snow mountain effortlessly, lift the breath and light the body, rush up, encounter too steep places, the two also have a countermeasure, the jade whisk's gauntlet gold armor and the left peak of the Xuanyin gauntlet can be caught into the ice wall, with the help of the force to sweep up.
The height of this snow-capped mountain is about ten miles, and when they reached the top of the mountain, the temperature was extremely low, and the two of them felt tightness in their chests and poor breathing, which was altitude sickness and normal.
"Thirteen, don't worry, you'll be home soon." Zuo Dengfeng said to Thirteen, who was squatting on the top of the Snow Mountain and looking south, that after entering the Snow Mountain area, Thirteen's expression had been very nervous, and he couldn't see how excited he was, but more of a tangled and apprehensive look.
Hearing this, Thirteen turned around and ran back, jumped up, and jumped on Zuo Dengfeng's shoulder.
"Look around and see if there's any snow ginseng." Zuo Dengfeng said to Yufu.
Yufu nodded when he heard this, ginseng is a great thing to replenish qi and blood, but it has a fatal shortcoming that it can't take more, and eating too much will cause it to bleed, but snow ginseng has no such danger, its medicine surname is stable, not hot or cold, no matter who eats it, it is beneficial, and it can be taken in unlimited amounts, the lame man once said that its price is equal to gold, in fact, many things cannot be bought with money, the two of them also need to find three Yin earth branches, if they encounter danger on the way, snow ginseng is a good product.
It's a pity that the two didn't find any trace of snow ginseng at the top of the peak, which is close to the periphery, and there are many people who come, even if there is snow ginseng, it has been dug up.
In the evening, the two rested in the sheltered area between the first and second snow-capped mountains, where there was no longer anything to make a fire, so they could only sit on the ground, and only one blanket was left, and Zuo Dengfeng gave the jade whisk non-negotiable.
Lunch was late, the two were not hungry, Zuo Dengfeng grabbed ice cubes to quench their thirst, and Yufu followed suit.
"You're not cold." Yufu looked curiously at Zuo Dengfeng, who was chewing on ice.
"The yang energy in my body is already vigorous, and it is all suppressed by the Xuanyin gauntlet." Zuo Dengfeng said casually.
Yu Fu sighed and shook his head when he heard this, some things are easy to be ignored after a long time, Yu Fu almost forgot that Zuo Dengfeng practiced a woman's method, and the yin qi in his body was almost exhausted, and he relied on the Xuanyin gauntlet in his right hand to send out cold qi to neutralize yin and yang and maintain life.
Yu Fu didn't speak again, Zuo Dengfeng didn't speak again, he was thinking at the moment whether the original owner of the thirteen was really in the main peak of the thirteen princes, Kawabog Peak, if so, it was a mountain that no one had ever been to, where not only could the mystery of the thirteen's life experience be revealed, but also know who the original owner of the thirteen was, these were all questions that had plagued him for a long time, thinking that he was about to be able to come to light, Zuo Dengfeng was very excited, but the feeling of excitement was diluted by what might happen subsequently. Iron Shoes has been back for a few days, if nothing else, the green worms will fly soon, he doesn't want to really be as he guessed that something happened to the two sisters, but other than that, there is nothing else that can make the silver crown call, as a man, the most hope is Fuyan's relatives, and the last thing he wants to see is to harm his relatives.
In the second half of the night, the wind rose, the temperature plummeted, although the jade whisk could run the aura to resist the cold, Zuo Dengfeng still couldn't bear to sit back and watch her and the thirteen get frozen, and quickly dug out an ice room from the foot of the mountain with the Xuanyin gauntlet.
"I learned it from the Eskimos." Zuo Dengfeng explained that he came up with it, he was never modest, and if he didn't come up with it, he didn't steal evidence.
"Someone." Yufu asked puzzled.
"It's the people who live in the North Pole." Zuo Dengfeng explained again that at this time, very few Western books were translated into Chinese, and he needed to be exposed to a lot of previous work, and Yufu naturally had no chance to contact it.
"Where is the North Pole?" Jade Whisk asked again.
Zuo Dengfeng felt helpless when he heard this, so he sat at the entrance of the cave and told her something about the North Pole, Yufu listened with great interest, and at dawn, the two fell asleep leisurely.
At more than nine o'clock, the wind stopped, the two of them went on the road again, machine guns and grenades Zuo Dengfeng was not willing to throw them, these things may be used very little, but if you don't have a heart, you can't be sure, although it is a snow-capped mountain, but it is not without creatures, last night Zuo Dengfeng saw snow wolves and snow leopards wandering around.
After that, the two of them did not climb the snow-capped mountains one by one, and hurried all the way to the foot of the fifth snow-capped mountain, which was the peak where the cripple had discovered the immortals.
At this time, it was already the evening of the next day, and the two of them began to climb the snow-capped mountain after a short stop at the bottom of the mountain, and several lotus-shaped plants that grew in the shelter on the mountainside attracted the attention of Zuo Dengfeng, according to the appearance of the plant, this is the snow lotus that the lame man said.
The first time Zuo Dengfeng saw this plant, he stopped and lowered his head to dig out of curiosity.
"What are you doing?" Jade Whisk asked back.
"See, Snow Lotus." Zuo Dengfeng shook the snow lotus in his hand, the outer leaves of the snow lotus were green, like jade, the inner leaves were white, as if they were white, and the color was yellow, like amber.
"What's the use." Jade Fu asked.
"Didn't you listen to the lame man, this is a good thing, it can cure a man." Zuo Dengfeng replied casually, and instead put the snow lotus into the wooden box.
After putting the snow lotus away, Zuo Dengfeng found that Yufu had been frowning and looking at him.
Zuo Dengfeng was stunned for a moment, opened the wooden box, took out the snow lotus and threw it away......
