Chapter 169: The Truth Is in the Hands of a Few
The steps of the two people down the mountain are very slow, and there are people passing by from time to time around the mountain, but they seem to be invisible, passing by, and their eyes will not stop.
It wasn't until a ray of light from the setting sun fell on Ye Liancheng's face that he came back to his senses.
"Bad old man, why are you walking so slowly? Don't you know that you won't be able to enter the city after nightfall!" The two of them walked for so long and were still on the mountain, which made Ye Liancheng a little anxious, he didn't want to make do in the wild tonight.
"What's the hurry, your master is waiting for something. Yu Lao covered his ears, obviously not like listening to Ye Liancheng's chatter anymore.
There was no way, there was no way to take the bad old man, Ye Liancheng had to obediently follow behind Yu Lao, and no longer urged the bad old man.
"Don't you ask me what I'm waiting for?" Yu Lao let go of the hand covering his ear and asked in some surprise.
Ye Liancheng put his hands behind his head, "You still need to ask, your unstoppable appearance is really waiting for the mud doll I gave out at the banquet." ”
Hehe, Yu Lao smiled slightly, "You kid still understands me." ”
While the two were talking, there was a sound of a rope in the mountains and forests behind them, and the movement was not very large, as if a small beast was walking through the grass in the mountains and forests.
"Isn't this coming!" Yu Lao turned his head, stretched out his hand and spread it out, waiting for the return of the water spirit.
The mud doll-like water spirit really jumped out of the grass behind Ye Liancheng, but it didn't return to Yu Lao's palm, but instead sat on Ye Liancheng's head.
This... The mud doll acted like this, Ye Liancheng and Yu Lao didn't expect it.
"Ahem, come back quickly, didn't you say you were going to give me some face outside. Yu Lao coughed twice and said in a flattering tone to the mud doll.
The mud doll tilted its head angrily, and then covered the ears on its round head with her hands, "Don't listen, don't listen, Wang Ba chants!"
Ye Liancheng's eyes lit up, the sound made by this mud doll was exactly the same as his voice, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of novelty, this world was really strange.
Yu Lao's face changed, and he stretched out his hand to grab the water spirit back into his hand, but although he didn't look at Yu Lao, the water spirit still ran into Ye Liancheng's palm the moment Yu Lao made a move.
"Don't listen, don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures. Ye Liancheng's voice sounded from the mud doll again.
Looking at Yu Lao's eyes, as if he had transferred his resentment towards the mud doll to himself, Ye Liancheng touched his nose, "This mud doll is really interesting, but it's a little strange to only say one sentence." ”
seemed to be expressing his dissatisfaction with Ye Liancheng's words, and the words sounded in Ye Liancheng's hands again.
Fortunately, it wasn't a strange word, Ye Liancheng comforted in his heart, he didn't know why this water spirit was reluctant to go back to Yu Lao after staying on him.
Wait, wait, Yu Lao seems to store things in ...
Thinking of the scene where Yu Lao spit out green bamboo and swallowed black knives, Ye Liancheng said to Yu Lao, who was scratching his ears and cheeks, "Are you curious why it doesn't want to go back?"
Yu Lao nodded, "Do you kid know the reason?"
"Who is willing to stay in your stomach with a brain pump?" Ye Liancheng said with resentment, that scene made people sick to their stomachs just by looking at it, not to mention those things that were swallowed, this mud doll was obviously enlightened, and naturally it was disgusted with Yu Lao's storage methods.
Sure enough, after Ye Liancheng said this, the mud doll sitting cross-legged on Ye Liancheng's palm actually nodded in agreement.
So that's the case, Ye Liancheng has been talking about this by Yu Lao's side these days, and even Yu Lao feels a little unsightly that this kind of storage method is a bit unsightly.
"Then you can stay with my apprentice for the time being, anyway, the apprentice's things are also the master's things, and in general, they are not bad. Yu Lao clapped his hands and let go of the water spirit that had already given birth to spiritual wisdom.
The mud doll in Old Yu's belly, which no longer had to go back, jumped up happily, and then disappeared into Ye Liancheng's palm in a flash.
Ye Liancheng was startled, and hurriedly leaned out his divine sense to check the space ring, and sure enough, he found a mud doll lying in his change of clothes and falling asleep.
"Yu Lao, why is this? Could it be that this mud doll can freely enter and exit other people's space rings, isn't this an extra way to make a fortune?" Ye Liancheng said, his little clever ghost immediately thought of the purpose of this clay doll.
"What do you think, stinky boy. After laughing and scolding, Yu Lao added: "If this is the case, will I still be reduced to asking for food?"
That's right, Ye Liancheng nodded.
"Do you know why this water spirit suddenly opened its mind, and why I gave it to that old lady?" asked Yu Lao Youyou.
Ye Liancheng thought about it for a long time along the way, and when Yu Lao was so little, he had a rough guess in his heart: "Isn't it because of my soul fire? As for why you gave it to the old lady, I don't know." ”
"You're pretty clever. Yu Lao and Ye Liancheng chatted for so long, and felt a little dry, so he stretched out his hand to Ye Liancheng, Ye Liancheng handed him a kettle with interest, and after taking the kettle, Yu Lao poured a few big mouthfuls.
Of course, this is not Ye Liancheng's kettle, this is the spare kettle in his space ring, if his kettle is drunk by Yu Lao, Ye Liancheng will naturally not use it again.
"This water spirit itself has a thousand-year-old Taoism, although the most difficult thing in the world to cultivate is a grass, a tree, a flower and a water, but when the time is enough, the opportunity will come slowly. Yu Lao began to explain to Ye Liancheng.
"The idea that your practice uses your own soul fire as the origin fire is indeed wonderful, and even your master and I have to praise you for a few words now. Man is the chief of all spirits, and the flame on your left shoulder has a part of your divine consciousness, and when I handed over the water spirit to you, I let your flexible fire plant a little divine light on the water spirit. ”
"Although the soul fire is essentially a flame, it originates from your soul, so it does not conflict too much with the water nature of the water spirit. Of course, these are not the point, the biggest contributor to the birth of this water spirit is still the old lady of the Su family. ”
"The old lady of the Su family?!" Ye Liancheng is not calm, the old lady of the Su family has never stepped into cultivation, why does it still have the effect of endowing the water elf with wisdom?
Yu Lao smiled, "Everyone in the world knows that water spirits can prolong people's lives, but they don't know that the real effect of water spirits really deprives people of longevity!"
This... Ye Liancheng was stunned for a moment, waiting for Yu Lao's next explanation.
"Water spirits are rare, and how many people in the world have seen them? Those who are lucky enough to have water spirits will plant a wisp of their own divine consciousness in them, and their faces will be renewed, so they think that this water spirit has the effect of prolonging life. ”
"Shou Yuan was deprived, how could those monks not know?" Ye Liancheng wondered.
Yu Lao's eyes burst with a fine light, and he said to Ye Liancheng: "You must know that the truth is always in the hands of a few. ”
Being glared at by Yu Lao like this, Ye Liancheng's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but take half a step back...
