Chapter 33: Old Man Again

In the Tianchi, the bottomless lake water, under the blowing of the mountain wind, splashes and lapping on the shore. On the shore of the lake, the vegetation is divided into layers and layers, with different shades of color, as if to record the depth of the lake.

When Tang Xi heard the course of Tianchi Boy's mouth, the little body involuntarily took a step back. Tang Xi didn't think that the water monster here would be like Qinglin in Mingjing Lake, just to scare people.

The Tianchi boy grabbed the waist of Tang Xi's pants and jumped towards Tianchi. Tang Xi was caught off guard and opened his mouth to yell, as if he had encountered something to fear. Tang Xi's eyes were closed, and his ears could only hear the sound of the cold wind and rapids and the angry scolding of the Tianchi boy.

After ten breaths, the wind in my ears disappeared and everything was calm again. Tang Xi opened his eyes gently, and chose to grab the Tianchi boy for the first time, and when he found that he was standing on the surface of the lake, Tang Xi thought he was dreaming.

Stepping on the surface of the lake, Tangxi is like cotton, and the water feels so soft. The waves on the surface of the lake, lapping on his feet, made Tang Xi feel that what he saw in front of him was real. Tang Xi tried to loosen the Tianchi boy's clothes, and as soon as he let go, Tang Xi's body sank towards the surface of the lake like a stone. So he hurriedly grabbed the Tianchi boy and floated on the water again.

"Stinky boy, is the Xuanyin trick practiced in vain, the luck dantian, the empty body is like cotton. Tianchi boy scolded.

After Tang Xi heard this, he ran the exercises, tried to loosen the clothes of the Tianchi boy, and found that he was really like the Tianchi boy, his face showed excitement, and the previous fear disappeared completely. Tang Xi stepped on the surface of the lake with both feet, while adapting to the Xuanyin Jue, while experiencing the water surface like cotton.

After adapting, Tang Xi trampled on the surface of the lake at will, and the lake water rippled at the foot of Tang Creek, and then disappeared into the wind and waves.

"Let's go, the old man will take you to find the water monster. The Tianchi boy grabbed Tang Xi and stepped on the surface of the lake towards the very center.

"Really, fake!" Tang Xi seemed to believe and didn't believe it, and at the same time there was a trace of fear in his heart, and it was indeed mixed with excitement.

The two of them, one old and one young, did not take long to appear in the center of Tianchi. The Tianchi boy put down Tang Xi, stretched out his hands, his hands were palms, and slapped on the surface of the water, and the lake surface seemed to be subjected to a huge force, setting off a huge wave. The flying waves rushed around, and Tang Xi, who was caught off guard, was soaked by the waves, like a chicken in soup.

Then, the Tianchi boy showed two fingers on his right hand, as if pulling a rope, and lifted it vigorously. The Tianchi boy left the water with his feet, his body floated, and he dragged the rope to the sky. I saw a calm lake, and the water of the lake was rising upward, like a rising tide.

Tang Xi wiped off the lake water on his body, and when he was about to scold the Tianchi boy, he saw the lake water floating rapidly, as if he was about to drown himself. Tang Xi didn't have time to think about it, so he jumped and rushed towards the sky. But there was no support point in the air, so Tang Xi could only grab the boy in Tianchi.

The Tianchi boy ignored Tang Xi, grabbed the invisible rope in his hand, and flew up with a huge wave.

With a "boom", the uplifted lake dissipated, revealing a limestone-like island in the center. There is no vegetation on the islands except for green moss. Even the limestone, which has been soaked underwater for a long time, turns yellow in color and has countless small holes.

The Tianchi boy pulled the soaked Tang Xi and landed on the island. After Tang Xi let go of the Tianchi boy, he stood on the island, twisting the wet water on his clothes, his face expressionless.

"Stinky boy, don't you know how to use internal force to steam your clothes dry, and you don't know how to cultivate the Xuanyin Technique. Tianchi Boy looked at Tang Xi and had a feeling of hating iron and not steel.

Tang Xi pouted and snorted at the boy in Tianchi. Running the exercises, the qi of the dantian is like a burning flame, and in less than three breaths, the lake water on the clothes turns into mist and disappears cleanly. Tang Xi showed excitement and said secretly: "It turns out that this Xuanyin trick can not only cut branches and float on water, but also dry clothes!"

Tang Xi's thoughts were not heard by the Tianchi boy, and if he was heard, he would probably faint directly. The Xuanyin Jue is the best martial art today, if it weren't for the cultivation of people who could only be the body of the Yin, I am afraid that it would have become a big faction long ago and rose in the rivers and lakes.

The Tianchi boy ignored Tang Xi, took out a round Liangyi Bagua Mirror from his body, and pasted it on the limestone behind him. The rocks detached, and a one-man sized stone gate appeared on the island.

"Gone. Before Tang Xidu had time to look around, he was dragged into the stone gate by the Tianchi boy.

Walking into the stone door, the curved staircase spirals down, and on the stone wall, there are pearl-like spars, illuminating the corridor brightly. Tang Xi, who was tall, lowered his head and walked forward behind the Tianchi boy.

After half a cup of tea, under the leadership of Tianchi Tongzi, an empty room appeared in front of him. The roof is inlaid with a pearl the size of a fist, illuminating the surroundings. Above the room, against the stone wall, there is a stone statue of a young man, the man is dressed in a Taoist robe, lifelike, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, holding Buddha dust, and he is very handsome.

Underneath the statue, the black candlestick was filled with candles and an incense burner. The incense burning on the incense burner produces a puff of green smoke that wafts throughout the room.

Under the candlestick, on a round futon, sat a man, dressed in black. This person had his back to Tang Xi, and his hair was jet black. It's just that this figure is not much different from the height of Tianchi Tongzi. This man is supported by his waist, like a hunchback. Strange words are carved around the stone walls, like charms.

Tang Xi gasped, and guessed in his heart: "There won't really be a water monster here, is it, could it be that this person sitting cross-legged is a water monster?"

"Old Wang Ba, I know how to chant the scriptures all day long, and the old man is back. Tianchi Boy laughed.

The person sitting cross-legged, as if he hadn't heard the words of the Tianchi boy, and continued to chatter.

After Tang Xi heard Tianchi Tongzi's words, he made the first guess, that is, the two knew each other, and they were very familiar. Tang Xi walked behind the Tianchi boy and carefully counted the people in front of him.

If you only look at the hair, you may think that this person is in the prime of life. If you look at the front, you will find that this person is a real old man. The old man's face was wrinkled except for his jet-black beard, and there was not a trace of smooth skin visible even on the corners of his mouth. The old man opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Tang Xi and Tianchi Tongzi.

The old man stood up with his hands on the futon, hunched his hunched body, and tilted his head like a turtle. Tang Xi finally understood at this time why the Tianchi boy was called "Lao Wang Ba" after entering the door.

"Yelling, impolite, and not giving incense to the master. The old man, known as Lao Wang Ba, said slowly.

The Tianchi boy lit incense, as if he had changed a person. With a look of respect, he bowed to the stone statue.

"Stinky boy, don't give your master a sticker on the head. After the Tianchi boy bowed, he said to Tang Xi.

Tang Xi, who was confused, was in reverence, and bowed to the stone statue. After Tang Xi finished bowing, he looked at the old man of similar height in front of him, one black and one white, like a yin and yang fish in the gossip, as if he was waiting for something.
