Chapter 59 [Soaring in the Day]
Rao is Peng Hui's kung fu skills, he has always been steady, and he was choked by this sentence when he was angry, and he was very angry in his chest.
When the color sank, the big nose rang into the sky, and he sat down opposite Cui Yan and kept silent.
At this time, Cui Yan glanced coldly at this side again, and then turned his face to look at the river.
Mu Haotian's heart moved, and he faintly felt that things were not so simple.
The boss of the boat was the last to get on board, quickly put away the boarding board, and then looked left and right, but did not dare to say anything for a while.
Tower Hill beckoned to him:
"Boatman, come here."
The ship's boss approached in fear, and was startled as he threw something into his arms.
He hurriedly picked it up and saw that it turned out to be a heavy gold ingot.
The boss of the boat was not happy and frightened, and his heart was as if he had hung a dozen buckets, and he was uneasy, and he heard Tashan ask him:
"Is this boat enough?"
The ship's boss shuddered:
"Enough...... Enough, that's already too much...... I'm afraid that the small ones won't be able to be found. β
"No, since that's enough, let's set sail."
The boss of the ship thanked him repeatedly, and hurriedly commanded the boatman to lift the anchor and raise the sails, and personally steer the ship.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaopeng didn't wait for his side to greet him, he instinctively opened his mouth to scold, but after looking at Tashan, he immediately held back his words, swallowed his saliva, and continued to be Cui Yan's angry bag.
The sails are blowing, and the boats gradually drift off the shore and move gently along the river. The spring breeze blows on the face, sending the pleasant fragrance of wild flowers and tender grass on both sides, and it is indescribably refreshing to smell it lightly.
Jing Ling leaned on the bow of the boat and leaned down to look down. I saw that the surface of the river, which looked like a green mirror, was cut by the bow side of the ship, and the word "person" was divided.
The water waves on both sides were tumbling, and the white clouds in the sky, the green willows on the shore, the dragonflies dancing wildly, and their own faces were all floating in the waves, looming, and I was stunned for a while.
On the deck near the bow of the ship, Mu Haotian and Tashan sat on both sides, with their backs against the bulwark, and Shuangshu and Jingling were next to Mu Haotian.
Xueying asked the boat boss for a pair of water tools and scooped the river water to help Jingling wash her face.
She had already seen Mu Haotian and Jingling covered in stinky sweat, and their hair was messy, so she couldn't help but say angrily:
"What are you doing here? Are you in such a hurry? It's like a cat. β
Jing Ling grinned and turned her head to Senior Brother Mu, but when she saw him frowning and staring at the stern, she followed his gaze and looked over.
Finding that the three people of the Xuanjiao Sect were getting together, their lips moving, but they couldn't hear it clearly from a distance, they suddenly felt bored, and turned to look at the majestic bearded Tashan.
Xue Ying dipped her in water with a silk scarf, helped her wash her face, then wiped her body again, and finally pulled her down and carefully picked her hair.
At this time, everyone was seated, Mu Haotian also turned around, everyone was facing each other, and a large square wooden box was placed in the middle as a table.
Swift was the first to open her mouth, holding the wooden box with both hands, and said to Tashan in a cheerful voice:
"Brother Tashan, you were just too majestic! Horse ...... It scared me. β
She was so excited that she almost learned Master's mantra.
Xue Ying and Jing Ling also looked at Tashan, their eyes were full of admiration, the big family really couldn't imagine that this bearded man seemed to be rude and a little naΓ―ve, but he had such courage when he was more real.
Seeing that the eyes of the four of them were focused on themselves, the white skin that came out of Tashan's beard turned red, and he said embarrassedly:
"Hehe, where is it, I just have a little more strength."
Lowered his voice and smiled:
"They don't have as much strength as me, so they're naturally afraid of me."
This will also fool the little girl, Mu Haotian knows that he is cultivating in order to get it, but since he doesn't want to say more, he must have some concerns.
However, when it came to power, Mu Haotian couldn't help but glance at Jing Ling beside him, thinking of her strange power, but he didn't know how the power of the totem compared to Tashan's innate divine power.
I heard the swift say from the bottom of his heart:
"Brother Tashan, your strength is really great! Senior Brother Mu told me that that little cockroach turned out to be a master of the innate realm, but he couldn't even hold your stick, you are much more powerful than him, so what realm have you cultivated? β
Mu Haotian's mind moved slightly, and his ears pricked up.
Tashan scratched his head and said:
"I don't know about this, I've always practiced by myself, and no one has tested it for me."
"How is this possible?"
Yuyan obviously didn't believe it, and saw that Tashan had no choice but to spread his hands, and turned to Mu Haotiandao:
"Senior Brother Mu, didn't Master say that whether it is martial arts or Taoism, every time the cultivation realm breaks through, I will naturally have a sense?"
"Generally speaking, this is the case, but there are some special circumstances where the cultivator is unaware of the cultivation."
Mu Haotian saw that Tashan didn't want to talk more, thought about it, and then said:
"Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a female qi refiner named Xie Tiantian, who was called Dongji Zhenren. She has believed in Taoism since she was a child, is familiar with Taoist classics, began to practice at the age of seven, stopped eating at the age of fourteen, and did not have to drink water at the age of sixteen. She was also often dressed in white, flying in the air like a ghost, and her dwelling was often thundering. β
Swift chimed in:
"Isn't her neighbor going to suffer?"
Mu Haotian smiled and continued:
"That's right, this matter was quickly discovered, and Xie naturally became famous, and several of them went to the official mansion to accuse her of demon refining and disturbing her neighbors. The government then sent someone to inquire, but Xie was naturally confused, and he didn't know what to ask, but from time to time a few strange spells popped out of his mouth, and those officials thought she was pretending to be a ghost, so they took her away and put her in a cell. β
When he said this, he suddenly felt a cold on his forehead, but it was Xue Ying who finished cleaning up Jingling, and brought a silk scarf to help him wipe his sweat stains and clean up his messy sideburns.
Mu Haotian's chest was warm and coaxing, he reached out to grab her free hand, and said softly:
"Thank you, Ying'er."
Two red clouds floated on the cheeks of the snow warbler, and he let his hand catch it, sorting it out more seriously, and suddenly his eyebrows darkened.
Mu Haotian looked at it and hurriedly asked:
"Ying'er, do you have something on your mind?"
The warbler shook her head, smiling but not speaking.
Seeing that the two of them were intimate and slightly ate, Yuyan immediately leaned over and knocked on Mu Haotian's legs, raised her head and said:
"Senior brother, go on, what about that Xie naturally after he is put in a prison cell?"
"Well, after being put in a cell......"
Mu Haotian let go of the snow warbler's hand, and then said:
"This level is more than a year, Xie naturally really doesn't need to drink water to eat, and all the food is returned intact. Every three or five times, he is still attached to the roof of the prison like a gecko, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, and his eyes are full of strange light. All the jailers were too frightened to go to prison.
The official was shocked when he found out, and thought: Could it be that you really caught a monster?"
This sentence imitated the fearful tone of the official, so vividly, that Swift heard it and exclaimed:
"Oops! Is that Xie naturally really a monster? β
Mu Haotian laughed and said:
"Xie is naturally not a monster - it's just that the official thought so, he immediately summoned the deployment to discuss countermeasures, and invited a lot of talented people to prepare to go into the prison cell to catch demons together.
"Who would have thought that the sky would suddenly manifest colorful auspicious clouds that day, the heavenly music was faint, and the fragrance was pervasive. Everyone watched in the open air, and the exclamations continued, and at first sight a strange beast stepped into the air, flew to the sky above the cell, and a divine light descended from the ground, and the roof of the prison collapsed with a 'boom'.
That Xie naturally flew out and rode along the pillar of light to the back of the strange beast, and everyone knew that this beast was here to guide Xie Nature. The strange beast carried Xie naturally and flew higher and higher, and the light under his feet shone brightly, reaching straight to the sky, and it actually soared in the daytime. β
Mu Haotian painted his voice and color, and finally finished telling the story in one go, because the protagonist is a rare woman in many legends, Shuangshu and Jingling all listened to look up at the sky, leisurely.
He smiled slightly, suddenly felt a little thirsty, remembered that he was sweating like a river today, but he didn't get a drop of water, he only ate half a mouthful of "water condensation fruit", looked left and right, picked up a scoop and prepared to go to the boatman to ask for some water to drink.
"Brother Mu, drink mine."
Mu Haotian was surprised to take the pot of water handed over by Tashan, and saw that it was a wide-mouthed blue and white porcelain pot with ears and handles, the glaze was like silk, bright and exquisite, but he couldn't think of where he put it before.
The water in the pot escaped with a faint sweet fragrance, Mu Haotian was uninhibited, and he drank it when he raised his head.
The taste is really sweet, and a clear line of water runs down the throat.
After the stomach, it is as mellow as an old wine, but there is no trace of hot wine, and after drinking it for a long time, there is no shortage of water in the pot.
After Mu Haotian stopped, he felt refreshed, and even the hunger pangs disappeared, and he was greatly surprised, but suddenly saw the swift and the snow warbler looking at him, remembering that the two of them were taken captive, and they also did not drink water or eat.
He smiled and reached out to hand the kettle.
After Shuangshu took it, she took turns to drink it regardless of her image, obviously hungry and thirsty for a long time.
Tashan looked at it with a smile, suddenly lifted the placket of his clothes, took out a few purple jade plates from his arms, and placed them on the wooden box in the middle in turn, one by one, until the box surface was covered.
Mu Haotian and Shuangshu were dumbfounded, only to see that the plate was full of cakes, tea jelly, shortbread, jerky, candied fruit, and fresh fruits.
A total of six kinds of dim sum, neatly stacked, lined with purple jade chassis, colorful and attractive.
The cake is as white as fat jade, and it is cut squarely;
The blue tea jelly is crystal clear, and all sides are wrapped in a layer of frosty silver incense powder;
The shortbread and jerky are baked golden brown and crispy, making people salivate;
Candied fruit and fresh fruit are categories that the three of them have never seen before.
The exquisiteness of the production, the delicacy of the intentions, and the energy consumed are far from being comparable to the ordinary rich and noble families, Mu Haotian rubbed many landlords and squires in the northwest of Cangzhou with his master, and he has never eaten such a particular dim sum.
The three of them licked their lips unconsciously, and forgot the most crucial thing for a while:
How did Big Brother Tower Hill fit so many things in his arms?
Tashan smiled:
"Brother Mu, three sisters, you're welcome, eat quickly!"
Shuangshu's face was red, and she thanked her softly, and each picked one and began to eat.
Mu Haotian rubbed his hands and was about to get it, but found that Jing Ling was still looking up at the sky, thinking that she was nicknamed Rice Bucket, why didn't she care much about eating at the moment?
Slightly surprised, Xuan thought that she had eaten two "water condensation fruits" before, and suddenly understood: no wonder she was not hungry.
However, these snacks are delicate and rare, and it is good to give her a taste, so I picked a candied fruit and stuffed it in her mouth to help her appetize first.
Jingling opened her mouth and bitten, chewing hard, and whining while eating:
"It's delicious, it's delicious."
Mu Haotian laughed, grabbed two more pieces of jerky and stuffed them.
Jing Ling opened her mouth to eat again, but her eyes were still looking at the sky. Mu Haotian saw that she couldn't take her eyes off it, as if she was concentrating on something, and her heart was strange, and she also looked up at the sky with her.
But I saw that the sun was shining, the white clouds were like streams, and the noon sun pierced people's eyelids, and they had to look away when they couldn't see them.
Mu Haotian couldn't help but wonder:
"Senior Sister Ling'er, what are you looking at?"
Jing Ling's mouth was stuffed with strips of dried meat by him, and he said vaguely:
"Master Mu, your father-in-law is a spicy story."
He swallowed hard, and then said:
"What does that Guiding Beast look like?"
There is only one story that has been passed down from ancient times to the present, how can Mu Haotian know what that strange beast looks like? Shaking his head and smiling, he thought that the reason why a legend is a legend is that it is not a legend that is pierced and chiseled, and the more it is spread, the more mysterious it becomes?
Then he thought of a kind of hearsay beast in the world, and said with a smile:
"The strange beast was a desolate species, with a body like an elk, four large horns like tree branches on the top of its head, and almost all the fur on its body was black, except for its tail as white as winter snow, and its feet were ...... It is said that the four feet are different in pairs, with the front pair resembling the palms of a human and the back one being a horse's hooves. When you walk through the void, your feet and tails glow, uh- that's pretty much it. β
Jing Ling tilted her head, pouted, and listened carefully, every time Mu Haotian said a characteristic, she nodded her head, and her mouth opened a little wider, and in the end, her mouth seemed to be able to stuff a fist.
Several people on the side, including Tashan, looked very strange, and after Mu Haotian introduced this strange beast, he couldn't help but ask her:
"Senior Sister Ling'er, what's wrong with you?"
Jing Ling's little hand pointed to the sky and said:
"Oh~ someone has soared in the day."
