Chapter 12, the boat lady
It was necessary for a bold person to steal out of the forest house and go to Maoshan for help, and the senior brothers all looked at Wei Wencheng without exception and said, "The time has come for you to repay your master!" Wei Wencheng pouted and smiled—I knew it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since he was led up to the West Mountain by Dai Meng, he has won the love of the three masters, the youngest among the Taoist servants, but he eats and drinks well all day long, and he doesn't need to do any work, which has long caused the general dissatisfaction of the senior brothers. There are endless small means to find people and stumble, but Wei Wencheng is a human being in two lives after all, and he has seen a lot of literary and artistic works on the theme of house fights and palace fights in his previous life, so how can he fall into their traps? Moreover, to tell the truth, people in this era generally do not have a wide field of vision, the pattern is too small, and there is really no trick that he can't handle.
After touching the nail a few times in a row, the senior brothers could only resort to cold violence and easily refused to talk to Wei Wencheng. Wei Wencheng doesn't care-you ignore me, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you! As the so-called "not being envied by others is mediocre", Lao Tzu is talented, and both the Shi and Dao families want to recruit, maybe there is really hope of ascending to the immortal in the future, do I still care about your cold faces?
But now that two of the three masters have disappeared, and one is left in a half-dead state, Wei Wencheng has no backer, so the senior brothers unceremoniously handed over the heavy responsibility to his shoulders. I didn't care much about it, so I immediately shrugged my shoulders and said okay, I'll go, I'll go.
In the past two or three years, he has learned almost the same amount of "True Message", and he has absorbed the essence of the carp essence Neidan as a foundation, and he feels that his realm has improved rapidly, and he is about to find an opportunity to remind Xu Huanpu, should you return the Neidan to me? Of course, I don't expect it to be the original, you can give me a little scum left, and I feel gracious. So Wei Wencheng thinks that he is better than his senior brothers, so if I don't do this thing of asking for help, do I still hope for you waste?
Seeing that these wastes were full of horror and timidity, they were afraid that once they stepped out of the gate, they would be taken by some dragon claws in the clouds, and then turn into a piece of stinky shit in the monster's stomach. Wei Wencheng's confidence is slightly more than them, since Dai Meng said that as long as he brings a talisman, the threat coefficient is not great, according to reasonable reasoning, this is basically trustworthy - that guy has personally faced the monster after all, how capable is the other party, so as not to completely misjudge, right?
Of course, it can't be guaranteed, judging from today's demon subjugation incident, these three masters in my own family are all waste wood...... I knew that I would have followed Monk Tanlin to the north.
It's just that "under the nest, Ann has finished his eggs", this time he went out to ask for help, not only to save the three masters, as well as Lin Wuguan, but also to fight for himself!
So without saying a word, I went back to the dormitory to tidy up my bags, brought some dry food, and then packed up and went to the road. Fortunately, there is not much difference between the costumes of the Taoist customs in this year, and they are all tops and bottoms, at most the Taoist priests will cover an extra gossip Taoist robe, a purple ribbon fairy robe or something outside, and wear a small bamboo crown with a strange style on the head, but it is all the dress of a senior Taoist priest, Wei Wencheng's daily dress is no different from that of a layman, and he doesn't even need to change his clothes - of course, no makeup.
He wore a hat and a robe, and only went out in the rain to watch the door, but the senior brothers were busy folding behind him and closing the door. Wei Wencheng did not follow the right path to go down Linwu Mountain, but instead went around to the west and got into a cave.
The so-called "Forest House Cave", or called "Dragon God Void Cave Sky", actually refers to the karst cave between the mountains, deep and tortuous, there are many forks, there are stalagmites and stone pillars everywhere, it is a rare beautiful scenery. This cave is an industry in the view, and it is easy not to let people in, even the disciples are not allowed to go deep. But isn't he favored by Wei Wencheng, he is often taken into the cave by the masters, looking for a secluded place to pass on the exercises secretly - fortunately, it is not the old monk who teaches the method, but to be honest, there is basically nothing new. At one point, Duan Sique said that he missed his mouth, pointed to a certain fork in the road and told Wei Wencheng, saying that if you go east from here, you can go to the shore.
Wei Wencheng lit the torch and carried it high into the cave. With the addition of a talisman and a cave, he felt that he could add an extra layer of insurance. He had a good memory, and basically did not get lost in the cave, and after a journey, he came to the fork in the road that he had never set foot before, and it was said that he could go straight to the bottom of the mountain.
The firelight reflected on the cave walls, stone pillars, and stalagmites, reflecting all kinds of strange brilliance, as well as strange and terrifying shadows, as if there were countless monsters lurking in the darkness, ready to choose people to devour at any time. Fortunately, Wei Wencheng was bold, and he just strode forward. After another walk, there was a fork in the road ahead, and there was a faint light on the left, which must be almost the exit, and the road on the right was pitch black, but there was a faint suction, as if to lure me in.
What's in there? Doesn't seem unusual...... Wei Wencheng stared at the darkness and was stunned for a while, but finally put aside the doubts in his heart and went directly out of the cave.
Although the three masters are unreliable, they finally led themselves into the gate of cultivating immortals, especially Dai Meng, if he hadn't given Zhang dough cake back then, maybe he would have starved to death outside Jiankang City, if he didn't know how to repay the kindness, then could he still be regarded as a human being? And if you want to save the lives of the masters, you must speed up the pace, and you must not have any distractions - what is in the fork in the road, wait for yourself to come back and find a chance to explore, now the matter is important.
Wei Wencheng knows his personality, his curiosity is too heavy, and his sense of responsibility is not strong, he is afraid that if he really finds something interesting in the fork in the road, it is estimated that it will not only be delayed for a while......
After coming out of the cave, it was close to the shore of the lake, and although the clouds were dense, no raindrops fell. Wei Wencheng turned his head to look at the mountain, and it seemed that the rain was only dripping near the forest house view—did this mean that the monster was still paying attention to the view and didn't care about himself?
There was a small fishing village on the shore, but no matter what Wei Wencheng said, no one dared to take him to the other side by boat. Although the island is not small, the news spread really fast, and it is said that the Dragon King of Taihu Lake has set his sights on Lin Wuguan, who would dare to go down to the lake to find death at this time? At least we have to wait for the dark clouds above our heads to disperse.
Although it is said that "under the heavy reward, there will be brave men", Wei Wencheng really has no money around him...... The senior brothers are said to have secretly hidden a lot of incense money, but how could Wei Wencheng be willing to ask for a plea and put his hot face on their cold butts?
I had no choice but to search along the coast and head north - since the monster appeared near the Old Man Rock in the south of the island this time, then I will go north, and the danger factor will always be a little lower. Not long after, he really saw a small boat floating on the lake not far from the shore, and quickly waved his hand, and the boat slowly approached the shore, and saw that there was only a young boat lady on the boat, and after just a few words, he was allowed to get on the boat.
A penny is stretched out, and the boat is offshore. Wei Wencheng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and turned his face to look at the boat lady carefully. I saw that the little girl was only in her twenties, and her appearance was young, as if she was just an ordinary fisherwoman, but ...... Why do I look familiar?
The boat lady also noticed Wei Wencheng's gaze, and immediately smiled slightly: "Sir, have you forgotten the appearance of the slave family after many years?"
Wei Wencheng suddenly realized this, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and his face showed horror: "You ...... Are you here to seek revenge on me?!" The heart said that this is really a literal "on the thief ship", is Lao Tzu going to return to his position today?!
It turned out that the boat lady was not an outsider, it was the carp essence that I had seen in the secret room of the Danfang that day! It was just that it had been more than two years, and the second was that this carp essence had completely lost its former charm, and the difference in temperament and expression had also produced a lot of changes in appearance, so Wei Wencheng didn't recognize it at first.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the villagers did not dare to let the boat go into the water, but there was a woman who was patrolling the shore with a boat, as if she was waiting for herself, and she did not ask for any payment. The key Wei Wencheng was busy going to Maoshan for help, at first he thought that the journey was unimpeded, as long as he avoided the lake demon who was traveling in the clouds and rain, who Cheng thought of the shore, but he couldn't find a boat to ferry, and his mood gradually became anxious, and he lost his vigilance. This time, not only did he get on the thief ship, but the ship was offshore, and it was too late to regret it!
Now that the carp spirit wants to take his own life, it must be easy. Even if he has learned a few techniques, the other party has only gained a human body after hundreds of years of cultivation, and even if he loses the inner pill, he is not something he can compete with. There may be a chance to escape on the shore, and there is water on all sides, where else to escape? If you go into the water, isn't that the home of the carp?
I was thinking about how to throw the pot to Xu Huanpu, who was unknown in life and death, and how to deceive the carp essence into opening the net, but unexpectedly, the carp essence's face sank, and the words that came out were: "Since Mr. has taken the slave's inner dan, he can use it for his own use, why did he hand it over to the commander and cause it to fall into the hands of the monster?!"
Hey, it doesn't blame me for seizing Nedan, but it blames me for handing over Nedan to Xu Huanpu, what does this mean?
The carp spirit really didn't hate Wei Wencheng, and he didn't want to kill him. I want it to feel the essence of the sun and the moon in Taihu Lake, and I have been cultivating for hundreds of years, and that day I was hiding near Xiaolei Mountain in Hunan, and suddenly a flower appeared in front of me. The carp spirit looked at it fixedly, and immediately felt that the boundless coercion was coming, so bluffing that it didn't even dare to move.
To say that a human being can go deep into the water and appear in front of him without even noticing it, it is certainly not ordinary, but even an ordinary cultivator will not cause so much pressure on it. Under normal circumstances, the carp spirit only swims on the south side of Taihu Lake, and it is easy not to dare to go north, just to avoid the dragon that has practiced nearly twice as long as himself. This sense of fear is both innate, and it is also a telepathy that has naturally developed over the years, just like a pika on the ground avoiding a tiger and a leopard, and a pigeon in the sky avoiding an eagle falcon.
In the feeling of the carp spirit, it is as if the entire Xishan Island has been pulled out of the ground, and then rumbling towards itself - in fact, if you really want to talk about it, the other party is not just an island? I am afraid that the whole world together may not be able to do what he can do, but the carp spirit is shallow after all, and has never left Taihu Lake in his life, and it can't feel it at all.
In short, the carp spirit knew that the guy who suddenly appeared in front of him could not be offended, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape if he wanted to, so he shrank and said at the same time: "Honor...... What is the reason why the fairy chief is looking for a small fish?"
The person on the other side spoke with a normal accent, but his choice of words and sentences was a little strange, and he seemed to be smiling at the moment, and nodded at it: "I'm coming back here, I'm going to borrow you to try someone, and if I succeed, I'll give him your Neidan." ”
The carp spirit was taken aback when he heard this, but although the other party's tone was relaxed, it seemed that he could not refuse at all, so he had to mourn with a bitter face: "Neidan has cultivated for Xiaoyu for many years, and Anke is with people?
The "fairy chief" pouted: "That thing actually has nothing to treasure, it's really the so-called 'broom self-cherishing', although you are reluctant, after all, it's just a rotten broom." After a pause, he suddenly asked, "Why do you want to cultivate the human body?"
The carp spirit replied casually: "For the sake of the immortal road." ”
"Even if you become an immortal, what's the benefit?"
