Chapter 244: To Asan
Our team is shrinking now, and I'm left with Dustless. Qingfeng Mingyue, two monks who are not familiar with the world, should not be counted. But as things stand, the two of them should be with us. In fact, as long as Lu Jia's soul is not lost, I can lift my spirit no matter what I do, and sometimes I will feel full of interest.
In the past few days since returning to Liujiaji, there has been no progress in the "work" of finding Xiaodi and Zhang Lele. Now that he has lost Bao'er again, Fang Tong has rebelled in the end, and Xing Wuyang has also run away. Wuchen and I are like useless outsiders now. But on the other hand, it's good, there is no nest fire led by the nose, and there are no worries and tensions. I just felt that I was out of the way, and while enjoying the physical and mental relaxation, I was actually a little uncomfortable.
In the end, we decided to go to Asan. The ostensible reason is to find Bao'er and Xiaodi, and of course, Zhang Lele. In fact, I already vaguely know who Zhang Lele was arrested. From the moment Bai Qi came to the early years of the Ming Dynasty with me, he never stopped working hard to renew Zhang Lele's life. He knew that Xia Rumei's body contained Zhang Lele's soul, and whether it was Xia Rumei's body or Zhang Lele's soul, he had to find it.
If Zhang Lele was robbed by Bai Qi, he should be safer than by my side. In the future, Bai Qi will find a way to bring Zhang Lele's soul back to modern times. The only reason I'm looking for them is that Bai Qi probably knows how to go back to modern times, after all, Yi Kunlun is Bai Qi's godfather. Since he sent Bai Qi over, I'm afraid he has already prepared the way back.
I also want to go back with Lu Jia. Even when I felt that my life was short, in fact, deep in my heart, I did not give up the hope of bringing Lu Jia back to modern times. But now I'm finally thinking about how to get back to the modern era.
Bao'er followed Ye Linglong most likely to Asan, and it was right to look for her there. As for Xiaodi, I began to doubt her a little, she has been a little abnormal since she arrived in Kunyu Mountain, and she always seems to be able to appear at critical times, or even escape death. For example, when the White Cloud Temple was destroyed. Why wasn't she deluded by her mind? Everyone else was eating her own internal organs, and she was alone. And how can she help us escape from the sealed secret passage?
Where did she go during that time when she entered the secret passage through the vent to the front foot and the back foot? Then there was the fact that she and Fang Tong went down the mountain, what if Fang Tong was telling the truth? Fang Tong went to find Yuan Jun and really left her in Liujiaji, so where did she go? These doubts made me think that this girl must have something to hide from us. Even when she was in the shower, she was making a fuss about me, in order to break into us.
But what did she get by introducing it into us? If you can't figure it out, you don't want to think about it, so let's take care of the things in front of us, and it's easy to take a break.
Along the way, we talked and laughed, and headed in the direction of Asan. Ask Dust-Free occasionally. How can Lu Jia's soul be detained from that chain. And he held the "Tao Te Ching" and read it hungrily. When I'm bored, my biggest pastime is to tell Qingfeng some pornographic jokes to make him blush. will also tell him the stories of Du Shi Niang, Mrs. Hua Rui, and Master Li. Of course, I will also talk about Su San, because this is a classic joke in "Jade Futon". However, Su San is from the Qing Dynasty, and they don't know each other anyway, and they are not afraid of time and space confusion.
When he arrived at Asan, Wuchen did not find a way to detain Lu Jia's soul. I'm not too worried. Because I now know that Taoism was still very prosperous in the Ming Dynasty, and the head of the Qiu Ji Dao was only less than a hundred years old, and the Taoism was still an era of a hundred schools of thought. Wuchen is at most a "rookie", and there are people who are better than him. There is always someone better than Gerdan. can also save Lu Jia's soul. Even if he waits for Wuchen to learn the Tao at home, and now that he has the "Improvement Treasure Book", it won't be a matter of long, I can afford to wait.
Asan is two hundred miles northeast of Kunyu Mountain. Compared with Kunyu Mountain. Asan is going to be much slimmer. Because it's thin, it looks much taller. Looking at the map, Asan is the place with the densest contour line on the map. The Baiyang River in front flows all the way to the end of the map. Then it should be the sea. I didn't expect such a river to enter the sea.
But I also remember that Asan is not far from the Bohai Sea. It may be less than a hundred miles away. There is a town next to Asan Town, Jiao Taohua Town, and we will first stay in an inn in the town. What we have is money, what we have is time. Qingfeng Mingyue is going to bring back the white cloth left by their master. On the one hand, Wuchen and I want to find Xiaodi, Bao'er, and Zhang Lele, and on the other hand, we want to get the heirloom jade seal back.
In fact, these are not what I care about the most, the reason why I am willing to go to Asan to join in the fun and wade through the troubled waters is mainly because of Ye Linglong. Seeing Lu Jia's face in this place made me rush over like a moth to a fire. It's like taking a drug, once you get addicted, it's not so easy to quit. Let's just think I'm "drinking to quench my thirst".
We're all waiting for something to happen, and since all the useful clues point to this, it's certainly not going to be peaceful here.
But after two days of waiting, nothing happened. It's still a small coastal town, with fishmongers everywhere and the smell of fish in the air. The biggest takeaway from these two days is that I have eaten seafood that I haven't seen for a long time. In the Ming Dynasty, the fishing capacity was far less than it is now, but those fish were pure and wild. There are other soft bodies, reptiles. In fact, among the four of us, only Mingyue and I really enjoyed it. Although Wuchen is not the kind of pedantic Taoist priest, he originally grew up inland, and after eating seafood once, he was darkened, which was worse than Ye Linglong who drugged me before. Qingfeng is determined not to eat animals, there is no way, I have to make some processed cooked food, there is no shadow of animals. For example, steamed buns made of mackerel.
I can't drink Mingyue. Although the taste of the wine made from grain in that era was somewhat bitter, the alcohol content was at most comparable to that of Tsingtao beer. But after drinking it for three days in a row, I couldn't hold it. On the third night, Mingyue and I drank two large jars of wine and went back to sleep groggily.
I don't know when, I suddenly felt my stomach tumbling over, and I woke up to go to the thatched house. Actually, there are bedpans in the rooms of the inn, but I never use them in my room because I have a smell. At the end of the corridor there is a small room dedicated to toilets.
Hazy walked to the door of the house, stretched out his hand to push, but couldn't push it away.
"Is there anyone in there?" I remembered. But there was no movement inside. I was also in a hurry, so I used my hand to shake the protégé away.
When I went in, I didn't feel right. The house was bigger than expected, and it didn't smell the smell it should have. Of course, I couldn't find the commode. It's broken, the brain suddenly has a cleverness, this is to go to someone else's house.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm in the wrong place. I quickly apologized, turned and walked back.
But when I had taken two steps, there was nowhere to go. In front of me was a wall, a wall without even windows. No, I came in from here just now, and the door was still slammed open by me with real anger, so why did this twist turn into a wall. Maybe I'm dizzy and turned the wrong angle. Then I walked around the wall, and even if I walked around the house, I could find the door and get out.
But I walked along the wall for five minutes, and the wall in front of me was still in the darkness. The walls looked yellow in the dim light. This is a ghost hitting the wall, and I was shocked in my heart, it must be someone's way.
"Dust-free?" I tried to shout twice. But that voice sounded like it was being stuffed in a gourd, and I couldn't get it out.
Actually, my head is still groggy, and I was a little scared to wake up just now, but now I have fallen into some formation, not only can I not get out, but everything I see in front of me may be illusory. I still have residual consciousness, and I think that if it was an illusion, I would be able to see through it if I pushed the wall. There's always something you can push.
But I still wanted to see this formation, I turned around and pushed the wall again, and it was all erect.
"Who? pretending to be a ghost," I shouted angrily, "if you are brave enough, you can play a drum in front of the gong, and you are a hero with this trick behind your back." (To be continued......)
