Chapter 9: Returning to the old business
A few months later, in a small town on the edge of Nanyan County, the city was small, the streets were sparse, and the liquor shops on both sides looked deserted.
And in an inconspicuous corner, there are many people on the inside and outside of the three floors.
Take a closer look, a little Taoist priest dressed in a brocade robe, with a snow-white dust whisk in his left hand and a peach hairpin on his head, is sitting on a chair, spitting everywhere.
"How small this mortal kingdom is. Just like the place where we are now, the famous Nanyan County, with a radius of 10 million miles, a population of hundreds of millions, how vast the land, and how many people there are, but my Nanyan County belongs to the Dayu Dynasty, but it is only one of the 99 governors of the Dayu Dynasty and one of the 100 and 8 border counties. ”
"Shhh
When he heard the stunned voices of the people around him, the little Taoist exhaled with great satisfaction, and continued to talk again:
"We mortals ......"
This little Taoist priest is none other than Dongfang Mo.
But at this moment, he changed out of his former tattered clothes, and wore a tailor-made satin robe, and he no longer had the funny feeling of dragging a section on the ground before. The whisk in his hand is simple but exquisite, and it must be hand-carved by skilled craftsmen. Dongfang Mo was full of energy, his face was ruddy, and he looked shiny all over his body at this time.
A few months earlier, he had made his way through the dense forests and finally found his way out, coming to a place called Tooth City.
Dongfang Mo, who has a skill, is naturally hungry and immortal. However, the guys who ate earlier were lost, which was really troublesome for a while, but for Dongfang Mo, cutting some branches to make a high stool and stealing some rice paper naturally had a large bundle of family heirlooms.
However, this time, Dongfang Mo is a good learner, and he knows that the cheats are genuine treasures, so naturally he can't sell them so cheaply. I can only rely on those few drops of ink in my stomach to make it up at will, and I think it's enough to fool these people.
"That being the case, the trail is not talented, there is no ability to call the wind and rain, but there is still half a volume of magic, that is when I went in and out of the mountains and forests in a day and died, I found it in a Xianjia Cave Mansion that had already driven the crane immortal. Now that I have a relationship with all of you, I will give you a tael of silver, please see, this is the half of the remnants of the scriptures...... Rubbing. It only takes a tael of silver......"
As he spoke, Dongfang Mo took out a book that looked a little shabby from his sleeve.
"Appeal ......"
I saw that there was a disdainful mockery around him, obviously sneering at Xiaodao's approach, but it was just some charlatans who were talking like a river, just listen to it, if you really want to take out the money, the fool will do it.
Seeing this, Dongfang Mo was not anxious at all, but the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
"Wait." Just as everyone was about to disperse, Dongfang Mo suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, everyone turned around and looked at Dongfang Mo to see what else the little Taoist priest had to say.
"Xiaodao knows that you don't believe it, and think I'm just a charlatan, but please take a look......"
At this point, Dongfang Mo wiped the sleeve of the silk silk in his right hand, revealing his entire arm, to show that he did not hide the mechanism. At the same time, he pinched the formula with his left hand, and said words in his mouth. Just three or five breaths, with a loud shout, the index finger and middle finger of his right hand were together, and he pointed towards the door of the surrounding crowd.
At the same time, the eyes of the surrounding crowd suddenly widened, revealing a look of disbelief.
"How, do you feel a fairy aura like a spring breeze blowing on your face, and you can't say how comfortable you are."
"That's right if there is, that's Reiki." After speaking, Dongfang Mo withdrew his hand and sat upright on the high stool again, looking unfathomable.
"I know that you Taoist friends are suspicious in your hearts, so I will use a little trick, this trick is just a simple release of immortal qi, but you can see clearly that there are tricks in the small way."
Dongfang Mo's face was serious, but he was extremely proud in his heart.
Sure enough, everyone shouted in amazement and asked Dongfang Mo to tell him what was going on.
Seeing this, Dongfang Mo picked up a cup of tea beside him without hurrying, filtered the tea leaves with the lid, and blew it gently, so that he pretended to be an elegant sketch and took a sip.
Just when everyone was impatient, he said slowly:
"It's not a secret, this is the role of that half of the remnants, I was like you before, but just a mortal, but since I got this half of the remnants, I meditated all day long, pondered about it, and one day opened up the eight veins of my own strange scriptures, which can absorb spiritual energy into the body."
"Although there is a powerful immortal method from time to time, it is better than the immortal qi into the body, not only can it not invade all diseases, but also prolong life, lay a good foundation for your body, and when the opportunity comes in the future, you can get one or two complete immortal laws, who can say that you can't become an immortal."
"If it weren't for Xiaodao, I urgently needed to entangle myself on the road and go to Taiyi Dao Palace, just to be able to enter his sect to obtain Taoism and cultivate immortals, how could I give you Daoist friends half a volume of remnants in exchange for my life, now that the opportunity is in front of me, how you Daoists grasp it depends on yourself."
After Dongfang Mo finished speaking, he closed his eyes and pondered, as if he was recuperating his spirits, but he already had victory in his heart.
"I want a roll of ......"
"Give me a roll, and I'll ...... too"
"Don't squeeze it, the real person wants to accept the ...... money"
Sure enough, after feeling the comfort of the fairy qi entering the body before, everyone had already believed Dongfang Mo's words nine times out of ten, and after Dongfang Mo's instigated words, they were even more convinced of this, so they rushed to be the first, afraid that they would be one step behind others.
"There's no hurry, there's something for everyone, there's something for everyone."
The Oriental Ink Ghost took out a large bag from behind him, and inside it turned out to be stacks of books.
After receiving only one tael of silver, he gave away a so-called fragment, and the silver was received with great pleasure.
After a while, the bundles of books disappeared without a trace, and instead a heavy cloth bag hung around his waist.
Dongfang Mo tightened his bag, habitually lifted the robe under his feet, and even didn't have time to accept the guy who was eating by himself, and took advantage of the fact that the people around him were not paying attention, and quickly got through the crowd, and in a short time, he disappeared at the end of the street.
Just when Dongfang Mo's front foot had just slipped away, a group of people came out of the east city gate with his back foot, shouting: "Have you seen a Taoist priest who tells a story?" ”
The people who were scrambling looked at each other, and they didn't know why, but they truthfully told the Taoist priest that he was here, but when he looked around, there was still a trace of Dongfang Mo.
Under the notice of the group of people at the East City Gate, I learned that the Taoist priest was a liar, and what fragments he sold were fooling people, so he took them and asked the teacher who taught, only to hear the gentleman say: "What bullshit is written does not make sense." That's when I realized that I had been fooled.
When everyone was angry, a group of people also came to the West City Gate, who also clamored to find Dongfang Mo, and even suffered such a loss in his hands.
That's right, dozens of people gathered into hundreds of people, and I don't know who shouted that the Taoist priest should go to the north city gate according to the law, so everyone rushed to the north city gate.
At this time, Dongfang Mo looked up in a corner not far away, and smiled proudly when he saw that everyone had run to the north city gate.
He has walked through several cities these days, and he has never missed, otherwise he would have the dress he has now.
Fortunately, he was able to absorb spiritual energy into the spiritual sea, and at the same time was able to release spiritual energy. Although it doesn't know any spells, let alone any power. However, when the aura is released, ordinary people can revel in it just by taking a sip, and it is even more harmful to themselves, which can lead these people to the bait.
But his so-called urgent need to be entangled on the road and go to Taiyi Dao Palace is true. Since his day, he has been constantly asking where there are immortals who cultivate immortals, although there may be ten answers among ten people, but the most repeated one is that somewhere in the southwest thousands of miles, there is an immortal sect, called Taiyi Dao Palace, which is the blessed land of immortals, the place where immortals cultivate immortals.
After the crowd disappeared at the end of the street, Dongfang Mo lifted his robe under his feet, and after identifying the road, he quickly walked towards the nearest East City Gate.
The place called Yacheng here is not big, but it is not small, and it is only dozens of miles around the city with a city wall.
Dongfang Mo found an inn at random near the East City Gate, with a lot of silver on his body, he could eat, drink and sleep well, and by the way, he could hide from those people, just wait for tomorrow to set off, go to the next city, and inquire all the way, after passing by four or five cities, it should be almost to the range of Taiyi Dao Palace.
I chose an inn called "Fu Lai Lou".
Just as Dongfang Mo stepped into the threshold with his front foot, a figure shot out of the inn.
Dongfang Mo's body has been condensed by the medicinal blood beads, as well as the essence of the spiritual energy entering the body, whether it is the feeling of the facial features or the agility of the body, it has improved more than a step compared to ordinary people, but it is only a slight flicker, and it is easy to dodge.
The figure was not so lucky, slamming heavily on the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
"If you don't have money, you dare to come to eat white food, I won't break your leg today, you don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has."
With a burst of shouting, several figures bypassed Dongfang Mo and rushed out of the inn in an instant, punching and kicking the figure on the ground.
"Stop, stop fighting, ouch......"
"Fight again, fight again, don't blame the sprinkler for fighting back......"
The figure on the ground wailed and screamed.
At this time, a fat man who looked like a shopkeeper also walked out of the inn, and when he heard the words of the guy who ate white food, he was even more angry: "The kid eats white food, you still take care of you, beat me, and beat me to death." ”
Seeing this, the four or five strong men immediately exerted a little bit of strength under their feet.
"The Sprinkle family doesn't give you a little color to look at, in vain hope that I will enter the reputation of Taiyi Dao Palace in the future."
Saying that, the figure who was beaten to the head of the rat suddenly stood up.
At this time, Dongfang Mo saw that it was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. The young man's face was originally honest, but at this time, he was covered by anger, and his face was fierce, but he still looked a little childish.
What is especially noteworthy is that the young man's body is seven feet long, and he is unusually majestic. He was dressed in a coarse cloth jacket, revealing the muscles bulging up and down his body, like a brown bear in the shape of a human. The short hair, slightly open nose, and unusually dark skin made his originally childish face show a resolute color.
On the young man's neck, there is a string of white animal tooth ornaments. On both of its lobes, there are two thick hoop earrings, which are more than several times larger than the earrings worn by the maiden woman, making them look a little wild and uninhibited. It looks like it should be a custom unique to certain regions or people, and Dongfang Mo was not too surprised.
At this time, the boy had just stood up, and his body was a head taller than that of a normal adult man, giving people an extremely oppressive feeling.
On his side, several men who punched and kicked him immediately stopped, obviously shocked by the young man's mighty body and rugged image, and couldn't help but be a little afraid of this sturdy young man in his heart.
"What are you doing, call me, call me." The fat shopkeeper rolled up his sleeves with both hands at the moment, eager to go into battle in person, trembling angrily on the side, really taking money to support these idlers.
A few people were stunned, and the brothers were also five big and three rough men, but now a few people were actually frightened by a young man, and it was really embarrassing to say it. Besides, even if this young man is strong, he can't be the opponent of a few people, at most it takes some effort. Therefore, it is inevitable that they will besiege it again. At the same time, the young man also bared his teeth and looked fierce.
"Stop."
A few people were just about to make a move, when an indifferent voice suddenly came from the shopkeeper's side.
The fat shopkeeper turned around and saw that the person who spoke was actually a young Taoist priest in his early tens. was already angry, and when he saw another one, the miscellaneous Taoist priest dared to stop it, and just as he was about to have a seizure, his eyes inadvertently stopped on the cloth bag on Dongfang Mo's waist.
The fat shopkeeper was old and refined, how could he not see that the bag contained white silver, so when he looked at Dongfang Mo, he showed a smile in the blink of an eye.
"What's the matter, this Taoist master, what are you doing!"
Facing Dongfang Mo, who was a head shorter than him on the side, the shopkeeper bowed his hand, and his tone was indescribably flattering.
Dongfang Mo glanced at the fat shopkeeper, did not speak, and looked at the tall young man again.
He originally looked down on this kind of person who ate white food, and he didn't have any technical content at all.
Although this young man is as poor as he used to be, he relies on his skills to eat, how could he do such a dangerous and undignified thing as eating a bully meal. If he hadn't heard the young man say a few words about Taiyi Dao Palace, he really didn't want to bother with this matter.
"I paid for this fellow Daoist's silver."
Dongfang Mo shook the dust in his hand, and there was silver in his pocket, and he was full of confidence when he spoke.
"This ...... It's easy to say, please do it. ”
The shopkeeper was stunned at first, but after a while, his heart blossomed, and it was naturally a joy to have someone pay for the previous silver and get a big buyer. As for the kid with developed limbs in front of him, even if he is lucky today, after all, no one will have trouble with silver.
"This Taoist friend, seeing each other is fate, if the Taoist friend does not dislike it, I will be the east of the trail today, and I hope that the Taoist friend will give a face, please inside."
Dongfang Mo stretched out his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and said to the tall young man behind him.
Hearing this, the tall young man smiled honestly, and was not polite, after putting away his fist, he followed Dongfang Mo into the inn with a bow.
"Lucky guys, phew!" When he walked past the fat shopkeeper, the majestic young man let out a disdainful spit, whether intentional or not.
Hearing this, the fat shopkeeper was about to explode again as soon as he was angry, but when he saw the bag on Dongfang Mo's waist, he was suffocated back.
Even Dongfang Mo, who is very thick-skinned, can't help but blush, this stunned young man sang the lines backwards. No matter how majestic and mighty he is, he can't be the opponent of those idle men joining forces.
But the majestic young man didn't care, and strode in.
