Volume 5: The First Song Five Hundred and Seven: The White Tiger's Fang
On the night of Thompson's visit, Qian Chao's lodgings came to a guest that he did not expect at all.
In the dead of night, Qian Chao was still nesting in the soft couch staring at a book spread out on the bookcase, and in a trance he felt that a white shadow seemed to flash in the corner of his eyes, at first he only thought that he was dazzled, and he didn't care, and reached out to get the tea cup on the table, but then he noticed that something was wrong, someone entered his room without him noticing and stood in front of him!
In a panic, he raised his eyes to look, and when he saw it clearly, his face changed again, and he hurriedly got up and bowed respectfully.
"Seniors welcome Mr. Mo."
Someone did come in the room, and just before the bookcase, an old man in a white robe, white beard and white hair was looking at Qian Chao with a smile.
Qian Chao recognized this person at a glance, it was his mentor Mr. Zhuang's friend Mr. Mo in the Five Spirits Sect, of course, Qian Chao also knew that this Mr. Mo was the Jade Hushan Mozu who had to respectfully perform the junior salute after all the monks in the sect saw it.
In the middle of the night, this Mo Patriarch came to Qian Chao's residence for some reason.
As early as when dealing with Mr. Zhuang's funeral, this Mozu said to Qian Chao that he and Mr. Zhuang are lifelong friends and have a good relationship, and Qian Chao is nominally Mr. Zhuang's year-old friend and chess friend, so when Qian Chao sees him in the future, he will be called Mr. Mo. The time from Mr. Zhuang's death to the present is not a short time, and this is the first time Qian Chao has seen this Mozu since that time.
"Well, get up."
As he spoke, Mo Zu sat down directly on the chair next to him, first looked at the book that Qian Chao was reading on the bookcase, and then raised his eyes to look at Qian Chao, who was still standing respectfully, and said with a slight smile:
"Sit down, how was it in Lao Zhuang in the past, and what was in front of me, the rules are for others to see, there are only you and me here, there is no need to be like this."
Characters like this who are cultivated and have identities are generally informal, so Qian Chao also listened to persuasion, and after saying "thank you seniors", he sat down respectfully on the futon on the side.
Mozu says:
"The old man heard that you were injured recently, didn't you?"
"It's a shame to say that it's because the younger generation has a short experience and is too careless to underestimate the enemy, so he was poisoned by evil cultivators."
"Hmm."
Mo Zu casually grabbed Qian Chao's arm and pressed it on the vein, let go after a moment, and continued:
"Yes, it's indeed the blood poison of the evil cultivator, it seems that the other party is going to pull you as a cushion before he dies, I think you will have a vicious fight when you are injured this time, how about it, what do you get?"
Well, I have to say that Mo Zu's tone is like a master teaching a disciple.
"Yes," Qian Chao immediately said, "This is the first time that the younger generation has experienced life and death, and since then, he will not dare to use his previous experience to measure the opponent in front of him, and he must not underestimate the enemy at any time in the future." Secondly, after this battle, the younger generation has a vague understanding of alchemy, and is ready to put everything he thinks into practice when he gets better in a few days. ”
Mo Zu nodded after hearing this, and then said:
"Well, eat a trench and grow a wisdom, you became famous early in the sect, which is generally a good thing, but after a long time, it is likely to make you have thoughts that you shouldn't have, suffer a setback, and suffer some hardships, just to polish the edges and corners of your body that you shouldn't have. For monks, the sooner you suffer, the better it will be, especially if you are as wise as you, and it is right to suffer a loss, which will be beneficial to you in the future. By the way, Tang Bonian has been looking for you today, is the sect asking you to solve the trouble of the cold water pool? ”
"Exactly."
"Well, how much do you know about the cold pool?"
"Before the disciples of the sect there was a secret Yu Nian meeting, its core few people are also called the ten years of the meeting, the main character is named Chu Yuan, this person was later accepted by the younger generation, but also made a contribution to the affairs of the sect, Yu Nian Hui has been entrenched in the cold water pool, so Chu Yuan is very familiar with the situation there, before he built the foundation, he had explained the situation of the cold pool in detail for the younger generation, and also drew drawings, which can be used as a reference for the younger generations after entering. In addition, when Mr. Zhuang was there, he had explained to the juniors about the distribution of the spiritual veins in the cold pool, and Mr. Zhuang also carefully deduced the layout of the formation there for the juniors. ”
Speaking of this, Qian Chao thought of the identity of this Mozu and asked again:
"Does Mr. Mo know more about the cold pool, can you give some advice to the juniors?"
Mo Zu smiled and said:
"It's a bit ashamed to say this, when the old man cultivated like you, the trouble in the cold pool was not as serious as it is now, I was so dedicated to cultivation that I didn't have the heart to go there at all, and then after I built the foundation, I couldn't go there because of the chaotic spiritual veins there. The cold water pool can actually be said to be able to go in, as long as it is not too troublesome and not afraid of wasting time, and some means are used to change the distribution of spiritual veins there, anyone can go inside to find out, but the key is that if you really do that, the chaos that is banned below will get out of trouble, so it is impossible for someone like the old man to go in, after the completion of the nine heaven and earth cages outside the sect, except for the ancestors who arranged those heaven and earth cages at the beginning, from those murderers being imprisoned to the present, not to mention the old man, Even if no one has ever entered the Qi Formation or the Foundation Building, only the disciples who can enter the Qi Cultivation are the disciples, so this errand falls on the five of you. ”
Mo Zu said as he took out a few things and put them on the table, nodded with his fingers and said:
"Tang Bonian doesn't know a lot about the cold water pool, so he doesn't think very well, the old man came to you tonight mainly to bring you these things, money tide, don't think that the danger of the cold water pool is only on those chaotic spiritual veins, and there are crises in it that you can't imagine, if you rush to go deeper, hehe, maybe the five of you won't be able to get out. This thing is one for each of the five of you, as long as you step into the inside of the cold pool, you must hang it around your neck and hide it on your chest, the shallow layer you enter may not be a big deal, and once you go deeper, this thing can save your life at a critical moment, understand? ”
On the table are five black strings, on which is tied something similar to the teeth of some fierce beast, but the bone is jade-white, there is a finger length, the tip is sharp, Qian Chao took it in his hand and looked at it, he couldn't recognize what it was and what it was for, so he looked at Mo Zu in puzzlement and asked:
"Mr. Mo, what is this?"
"Well, this thing is the fangs of the ancient true spirit white tiger, it was found by a certain ancestor of our five spirits from the white tiger relics found out of nowhere, this is a treasure, its biggest use is to deter other fierce beasts, even if you enter the cold water pool, even if you are close to the side of chaos, although there were some unscrupulous people hiding there in the past, but they must have no means to go deep into it, otherwise they would have died a long time ago, how can you let the cold water pool be chaotic like that, But the old man estimates that you may have to go deep into the bottom of the cold water pool this time, if that is the case, these five white tiger fangs are the barrier for you to save your life. ”
These words made Qian Chao even more curious, and he asked:
"Mr. Zhuang, is there anything else in the cold pool that we don't know about?"
"Hehe, of course, the cold pool is not just what you have heard, but those things are still a little too early to tell you, only you yourself will be most impressed after experiencing it yourself, think that you should have an unusual or even completely beyond your imagination experience in the cold pool this time, and when you come out, the old man will come again, when there is anything you don't understand, you can just ask the old man, the old man will definitely know how much to tell you how much, but you have to remember, As soon as you enter the cold pool, put this white tiger's tooth on your body! ”
"Yes."
After the old man and the young man talked for a while, Mr. Mo drifted away.
……
The next day, Tang Ping came to Qian Chao again, and after listening to Qian Chao's talk about Mozu's visit last night, she was extremely curious and took a white tiger tooth and looked at it carefully for a long time.
"Well, there are still a lot of good things on the Jade Pot Mountain, I really don't recognize this as the tooth of the white tiger, this thing is not wrong since it was taken by Mozu, what about the teeth of the ancient true spirit white tiger, it is definitely a rare good thing, alas, Mozu is really generous, so easily gave such a treasure, then it seems that this trip to the cold pool must not be simple."
Qian Chao said;
"It must not be simple, Mo Zu said that this time we are likely to have an unimaginable experience, I am very curious to hear, both a little scared and very much looking forward to it, when we come back, he will come again, when there are any questions, we can ask him again."
Tang Ping listened, but looked at Qian Chao and said:
"Silly boy, then Mo Zu can only tell you alone, a few of us are likely not to see Mo Zu, at least not now, don't you realize it, Mo Zu treats you as a nephew in the next life because of Mr. Zhuang's relationship, and in our eyes, he is still the ancestor on Yuhu Mountain, because of his identity, he can't meet us juniors."
Qian Chao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, this is indeed the truth, and then listened to Tang Ping continue:
"Hey, boy Qian, I'll take this one in my hand, I guess even my master has seen less of this thing, I'll take it back and show it to her, and by the way, ask if this thing is of any other use."
Qian Chao saw that Tang Ping was in a hurry to leave, so he said:
"What's the hurry, are you leaving?"
Tang Ping's face was slightly flushed by his words, and after a white look, he said:
"Isn't it okay for you to be honest?"
Then he ran away.
