Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Count of Merry Characters

The spiritual sense of a cultivator is different from the direct senses of the five senses, and exploring the Qing Ming and sweeping the four directions is only the most common usage, but more importantly, it is the sympathetic heaven and earth, and the wonderful use of the Great Dao.

Therefore, some cultivators with strong spiritual sense often have some feelings of 'inspiration', 'feeling in the heart', and 'blessing to the soul', which is quite mystical and mysterious.

Xu Zhuang suddenly realized something, but he wondered: How vast the sea is, I have been traveling day and night for the past three days, and I have not encountered anything, how can I have so many "fates" today? After a moment of silence, he still didn't leave.

After a few moments, suddenly the sound of the waves surging loudly, a huge sea boat with a length of 200 zhang and a height of five floors came from the sea, and the word "He" was written on the sail.

When the boat drove closer, a half-figure suddenly appeared from the deck and shouted, "Hey! How did the Taoist over there fall to the sea? My lord invites you to rest on the boat. ”

Xu Zhuang raised his eyebrows, jumped up, flew dozens of feet high, and flew down to the deck.

Although it was late at night, the deck was not deserted, and there were still many passengers calling friends, fishing, admiring the moon, and drinking and having fun.

On the bow of the ship, it was very quiet, and only four people were there.

Two of them were apparently attendants, while the other was middle-aged, richly dressed, dressed in a white crane, with a rich appearance and a smile on his face, but with a hint of worry.

There was another person who was completely different, he was an old beggar in ragged clothes, with his chest and breasts exposed, and his toes were exposed under his cloth shoes, with gray hair, an old-fashioned face, a mouthful of yellow teeth, and two or three dews, and only a pair of eyes were very bright except for a roll of paper in his mouth from a dewy tooth door, and a dried leaf that seemed to be tobacco was rolled.

The image of this person was originally very peculiar, and the appearance of holding tobacco caused Xu Zhuang to have some memories, Xu Zhuang couldn't help but look at it twice, but the old man didn't look at Xu Zhuang, he half-lowered his head, raised his hand and rubbed the rolling paper with tobacco, then lit the cigarette, swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog.

This...... Xu Zhuang knew that there was tobacco in the world, but it seemed that this gesture was the first time he had seen it in this life. Pressing the strangeness in his heart, Xu Zhuang fell in front of the four of them, arched his hand and asked, "I've seen you, I don't know which one is the master?" ”

As Xu Zhuang expected, the rich middle-aged man replied: "I have seen the Taoist chief, in Xiahe Shanhai, he is the main thing on this ship." The sea seemed to be calm, but in fact it was full of dangers, and when I saw that the Taoist seemed to be adrift alone on the sea, I asked the Taoist to come on the boat and rest. ”

"Then thank the Lord for his kindness." Xu Zhuang thought for a while, he had planned to rest and breathe, and on this boat, there was nothing to do, so he smiled and arched his hand, "I don't know how much it costs to take your boat, but I still pay as usual, otherwise I'm really embarrassed." ”

"Huh! The Taoist said with a smile. He Shanhai said with a smile, "There are also sea ships carrying passengers under He's name, but this trip is only for trade, and the people on board are all relatives, friends and guests in addition to the merchant crew, so how can there be any reason to accept the fare." The sea is vast, and it is rare to meet, so the Taoist bento should be regarded as a kind of fate. ”

"Huh?" When He Shanhai said this, the old man suddenly looked up at him in surprise, and then moved his gaze to Xu Zhuang and couldn't help but look at him, and wondered: "Master Dao, I calculated that the surname He's trip will be unlucky, but there is a glimmer of opportunity on the road to meet someone destined to eliminate the disaster for him, could it be this person?" Such a hairy boy, does he have such ability? ”

It's just that the more I look at it, the more surprised I become, and I can't help but exclaim, "How is it possible?" ”

Xu Zhuang was already very concerned about this strange old man, and he didn't forget to pay attention to it when he was talking to He Shanhai, but suddenly he saw that he began to look at himself constantly, and he was frowning a little uncomfortably, so he heard him exclaim: "How is it possible? ”

Xu Zhuang couldn't help but turn his head to look at the old beggar, and He Shanhai asked, "How is it possible?" ”

The cigarette in the old beggar's mouth warped, and said to Xu Zhuang: "When did you appear in the world, how could I not know?" ”

Xu Zhuangqi said: "Let's not talk about what kind of 'character' Xu is, how many 'characters' are there in this world, and how can there be a reason for you to know everything." ”

The old beggar stretched out his fingers to hold the cigarette, and a long smoke came out of his nose, and he said angrily: "You know a fart, how can there be anything in this world that I don't know." ”

Xu Zhuang was not annoyed, but felt a little funny: "Since this is the case, how can you not know Xu?" ”

The old beggar said angrily: "I didn't know before, but I will know it when I see it." ”

Xu Zhuang said: "Oh? Then tell me what is the origin of the poor road. ”

"Hmph, the kid is still better than the Taoist master." The old beggar pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "It turns out that you are the true disciple of the Taisu Sect!" Tsk, you Taisuzong haven't had a decent character for a long time, no wonder Dao Ye didn't know about it for a while. ”

Tai Su Zhen Biography! He Shanhai was taken aback, although he was a person from the East China Sea, he often sailed in the offshore sea, coming and going to the coast of Dongsheng, but he had heard of the great name of Taisuzong, and it was rumored that it was not under the Taoist Sect of the Three Mountains Immortal Sect.

Xu Zhuang was also a little surprised, although it was obvious that he was too plain Dao, but with his cultivation, not everyone could see through it at a glance, he couldn't help but glance at the old beggar, and after listening to his full words, he couldn't help asking: "Why is this true, the six people of Taisu Contemporary True Tradition have refined into a golden pill, and they have been a long time before the poor Dao, how can they be regarded as no 'decent characters'?" ”

The old beggar sneered, "Oh! A Taoist sect like you, with a few high-grade golden pills, can it be regarded as a decent person? ”

This old beggar's tone is too big, and the top-grade Jin Dan is not even in his eyes, Xu Zhuang frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking: "In this case, according to the meaning of the seniors, Xu can be regarded as a decent character?" ”

The old beggar raised the cigarette in his hand and stuffed it back into his mouth, Meimei took a puff, and said with a smile: "You...... Barely enough to reach the vision of the Taoist master, he is not a big or small character. ”

Although Xu Zhuang didn't feel that he was superior to others, he also had absolute arrogance, and he felt that he would never lose to anyone, and he said noncommittally: "Oh? So in the eyes of the seniors, what can be called a big man? ”

The old beggar said, "Well...... If you can achieve the original god, then you can be called a big man. ”

"Huh?" Xu Zhuang couldn't help but look at this old man whose tone was higher than the sky, and said after a moment's silence: "Dare to ask where the predecessor is sacred?" ”

"Hahaha." The old beggar let out a gong-like laugh and said proudly, "Daoist, I am known as a person who lacks virtue and Taoism. ”

Sure enough, it was him! Although Xu Zhuang had a certain guess, he was still taken aback, the person in front of him turned out to be a famous Yuanshen master in Xuanhuang, and he was also a person who lacked virtue and gave Zhong Shenxiu the order to "create Zhong Shenxiu, and he was born with Taoism"!

"It turned out to be a real person." Xu Zhuang bowed his hand, thinking of the deeds of the person in front of him, he couldn't help but say: "What kind of character is Zhong Shenxiu in the eyes of real people?" ”

"Hmm." The Lack of Virtue Daoist spit out a smoke ring, and said after a moment of silence, "Zhong Shenxiu, you can also be regarded as a big man!" ”

Xu Zhuang was surprised: "The meaning of the real person, do you think that Zhong Shenxiu will definitely be able to achieve the real person of the Yuan Shen?" ”

"Hmph, the achievement of the original god, longevity and long-term vision, how can there be ten out of ten things." The lack of virtue snorted coldly.

"Oh? Creation Zhong Shenxiu, born with Dao Zhen, isn't it ten out of ten to achieve the original god? Xu Zhuang smiled, "If Zhong Shenxiu is refined into a primordial god, what kind of character is it?" ”

"Boy, you have too many questions." Lacking virtue and Daoist people don't have a good air, "Dao Ye will answer your last question, if Zhong Shenxiu can refine into a Yuan Shen ......"

"That's a great guy." After a moment of silence, the lack of virtue Daoist said, and then turned his head to He Shanhaidao, "Okay!" Since you met this kid, your troubles will naturally be solved, and Dao Ye is too lazy to stay and watch the show, so he will go first. ”

"Slow and real!" Xu Zhuang frowned, and hurriedly asked, "What does the real person mean?" ”

"Huh?" The Taoist who lacked virtue glanced at Xu Zhuang and said with a smoke: "It's very simple, the Taoist master calculated that this kid is going to do business, and nine out of ten will pour big blood mold, but there is a glimmer of life." Master Dao, I'd better watch the play, so I'll stay and see if he can escape death. Now that you kid is on this boat, he will naturally save his life, and there will be no good scenes. ”

He Shanhai smiled bitterly when he heard this, obviously he already knew what the people who lacked virtue and Taoism said.

"This?" Xu Zhuang frowned and said, "This is what real people mean?" ”

"Huh? What does it have to do with Daoye? The lack of virtue and Daoist glared and said, "Is he destined for you, but not for me?" Hmph, cause and effect are natural, since this kid's glimmer of life is related to your kid, maybe this catastrophe is also related to your kid. ”

In the end, the lack of virtue and Taoism said twice, stomped on the deck, and suddenly flew into the dark.

"This ......" Xu Zhuang was still thinking about the meaning of the words of the Daoist who lacked virtue, the Daoist had disappeared without a trace, He Shanhai saw this and hurriedly took two steps forward and made a big salute: "The Taoist will definitely save me!" ”

This development was too sudden, Xu Zhuang sighed, thinking of the last words of the person who lacked virtue and Taoism, he still said: "The main thing is to get up quickly, the meeting is fate, now that the poor Dao has arrived on the ship, he will not turn a blind eye when necessary." ”

He Shanhai was overjoyed, and said continuously: "Dao Chang's kindness, there will be a good reward in the future......"

Xu Zhuang shook his head and interrupted him: "Did the real person ever tell the master, what is going on with this catastrophe?" ”

He Shanhai sighed when he heard this: "Hey, I don't know below, if you haven't seen the magic power of a real person, how can you believe in any person, there is no reason to assert that you are a disaster of blood and light, and you will die for ......a lifetime."

Xu Zhuang frowned, and said helplessly: "Since I have no clue, Poor Dao can only stay on the boat for the time being...... It's just that the poor road has other priorities, and I don't want to delay it for too long, and I don't know where the purpose of the main trip is? ”

He Shanhai said cautiously: "This trip is to catch the Pengxuan Pavilion Treasure Meeting in the middle of the moon, and to take commercial goods to Zhaoyue Island, there are still more than ten days of voyage......

This is indeed quite fateful, Xu Zhuang was dumbfounded, although the flight of more than ten days was much slower than his journey alone, but it was finally on the way, so he nodded and said: "Then the poor road will finish the main journey." ”

"That's great! In the next place, let people clean up the best guest room for the Taoist chief, and the Taoist chief will wait for ......" He Shanhai was overjoyed, but Xu Zhuang looked up and said lightly: "That's not necessary, Poor Dao can find a quiet place to meditate at will, if there is any emergency, it is also convenient to take care of it." ”

"Let's go upper." He pointed to the top of the five-story ship, jumped up, and landed on the top floor in the wind, and a faint voice came from afar, "If there is an emergency, go to the top to find a way to find poverty." ”

Xu Zhuang found a flat place on the top floor and sat down, but he didn't settle down, just looked at Lang Lang's night sky, and fell into shallow thought.

In fact, he is not a very good and charitable person, if the real road is uneven, he may be willing to help, but it is not to the extent that he escorts an unrelated person because he has some good thoughts, not to mention dragging down his own important things.

It's just that the last words of the lack of morality and Taoism can't help but care a little bit about him.

"Cause and effect? ......" When Xu Zhuang was thinking, there was a sudden movement behind him, and he looked back, and it was He Shanhai who followed with his servants.

He was frowning slightly, and when he saw He Shanhai looking around, he put on a smile and walked quickly to the front, and when he saw Xu Zhuang sitting on the ground, he bowed his head slightly and said: "The Taoist chief is strange, and he also knows that he should not disturb the Taoist chief's rest, but the Taoist is in a hurry, and he has some thoughts before he can offer them." ”

He beckoned, and the servants behind him hurriedly presented a small Qiankun cloth bag, He Shanhai took the cloth bag with both hands and handed it to Xu Zhuang and said: "A small hundred thousand spirit stones, it is not a tribute, please accept it." ”

"The Lord doesn't have to be like this, let's take it back quickly." Xu Zhuang said helplessly, "I am willing to stay and support a journey, not greedy for thanks, the main thing forgot that the real person said before leaving, his calamity may have a karma with me, and it is because I can't sit idly by." ”

"No matter what the reason, how many people are on and off the next boat, and there are countless goods, you must rely on the support of the Taoist chief, such a great kindness, and any karma must be discussed separately." He Shanhai said sincerely, "Please accept it, otherwise it will be difficult to feel at ease." ”

"Having said that, I can't accept this spirit stone." Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment and said, "Director He, aren't you carrying commercial goods, I don't know if there is a high-grade fire cloud sand?" ”

"Top-grade fire belongs to cloud sand?" He Shanhai immediately said, "Naturally, there is!" On this trip, there are thousands of the best fire cloud sand, and if the Taoist chief uses it, I will immediately let it be served. ”

Thousands of high-grade fire belong to cloud sand, and the value can be doubled compared to 100,000 spirit stones, but He Shanhai did not hesitate at all, and immediately called someone to get it, Xu Zhuang smiled: "Wait a minute, the poor road is not intended to be like this, but this thing is just suitable for my cultivation, so if the main ship has this item, the main person will sell it to me at the original price, and it can be regarded as helping the poor road to practice." ”

He Shanhai was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then called the attendant to whisper a few words, and after sending him away, he smiled and said: "Dao Chief, although you are unwilling to accept the gift from below, but please understand the gratitude of the below, since you are interested in buying, this batch of cloud sand will be sold to you at the greatest discount, and only one Sanshan Immortal Treasure or one hundred spirit stones will be sold for every two pieces." ”

"You can rest assured, it is guaranteed to be of the highest quality, and there is no flaw, I have sent someone to get it, you will know it after you have seen it."

Only one Sanshan Immortal Treasure is sold for every two pieces, and this kind of price does not seem to be much different from giving it away for free. Xu Zhuang hesitated for a moment, but still no longer shirked, and nodded slowly.

He Shanhai was really overjoyed, and when he saw that the attendant had not returned, he called another person to urge, and after a while, the two rushed back with a gold-locked mahogany box.

Once opened, sure enough, the brilliance adds a few points to the moonlit night, a box of cloud sand, pearls are general, round and jade.

He Shanhai said: "The Taoist chief has seen it, this box of cloud sand is definitely of high quality." There are thousands of them, and there is no time to count them, so they are counted as a thousand full number, what is the meaning of the Taoist? ”

This box of cloud sand, of course, is more than a thousand pieces, but since he has received He Shanhai's kindness, Xu Zhuang is not entangled, so he said: "This is to thank the principal, I don't know if the principal can accept Taisu money?" ”

"Too much money? Naturally, it is collected! He Shanhaile said, "I heard that the value of Taisu Fa money is equivalent to that of the Three Mountains Immortal Treasure, and it can be fully exchanged in Pengxuan Pavilion." I have never seen it in the next, it is rare to see it from the Taoist, and I want to collect it even more in the next place, and after he returns in the day, he calls his brothers and sisters, and he also has a long experience. ”

Xu Zhuang shook his head with a smile, took out the money from his sleeve and handed it to He Shanhai.

He Shanhai is a sleek businessman, seeing Xu Zhuang's expression, he knew that he was exhausted, he glanced at the attendant, put down a box of cloud sand in front of Xu Zhuang, and said respectfully: "Don't disturb the Taoist master's practice, I will retire here." ”

Xu Zhuang bowed slightly, saw He Shanhai leaving in a hurry with people, waved his sleeves and put away the box, sat back in the distance, twisted a grain of cloud sand and thought about it.

"Above the sea, the aura of the fire element is really thin, and to refine this red fire thunder, I still need to supply it with my own mana." Xu Zhuang pondered, "But after meditating, it is not difficult to separate some mental refining. ”

Between the rubbing, the cloud sand gradually became red all over the body, and after a few moments, there was a sudden explosive breath in it, and there was a faint explosion in the air, Xu Zhuang freed up his hand to pinch a magic decision, and entered the Taoist prohibition into it, and after a while, the cloud sand finally stabilized, and it was actually refined into a red fire thunder.
