'Ding-dong! ’

"Wheat paste, wheat paste do you want?"

On the street of Guyang City.

The crisp sound of the gong attracted the attention of the living.

He looked at it.

I saw that the merchant who struck the gong used the burden in front of him as a table, poured the syrup in the iron bucket on the bamboo slices, and drew a sugar monkey cleanly.

This merchant is very good at reading words.

Seeing that Chengsheng was wearing a yin and yang Taiji fish robe, its material was not an ordinary person at first glance, so he said respectfully: "My lord, do you want this sugar monkey?" ”

"How did you sell it?" Take out the coins alive.

The merchant was overjoyed, and hurriedly handed out the sugar monkey: "It's not expensive, two dollars." ”

"Okay."

Cheng Huo handed out the long strip of coins in his hand, took the sugar monkey and tasted it.

Well....

The taste of maltose.

It's pretty sweet.

While eating the sugar monkey, he wandered around the streets of Guyang City, only to hear the continuous shouting in his ears.

"Hey~.... Gourd hey rock candy~, rock sugar gourd hey! ”

"Peaches, do you want peaches?"

In addition to shouting, some literati who set up stalls to sell calligraphy and paintings would sit upright and wait quietly for customers to inquire about prices.

Looking at the fireworks around him, he felt like he was in a different world.

It's as if all the things I experienced in Shenshu Village, in Xuantian Sect, and in Ghost Mother City before were all things that happened in my previous life.

Wandering around so aimlessly.

After eating the sugar monkey, he suddenly saw dozens of people in front of him, shouting noisily, so he also came up with a trace of curiosity.

In the crowd, there was a Taoist priest in tattered clothes, who was smiling at a peach seller.

The peaches sold in Guyang City are called 'water peaches', which are local specialties.

The peach is white in the green, and the white is translucent and red, and the appearance is excellent.

Looking at the appearance of the man, it seems that he wants to ask the peach seller for a peach to eat.

The peach seller refused, so the two sides had a dispute, and attracted a group of people who ate melons, including Chengsheng.

With his cultivation during the birth period, he could feel that the Taoist priest in tattered clothes was also a cultivator like him.

But it may be because he has cultivated some kind of secret method.

Although this Taoist priest has cultivation, the specific realm is impossible to see at a glance.

I don't know why he asked a mortal for a peach....

In order to find out what kind of medicine was sold in the Taoist priest's gourd, Cheng Sheng threw a piece of money to the peach seller, and said, "I paid for the Taoist priest's peach money." ”

Seeing that someone was buying peaches for him, the Taoist priest turned around.

He glanced up and down at Chengsheng, and bowed to him: "Thank you." ”

The Taoist priest looked around.

Seeing that the onlookers were looking at him, he continued: "Everyone, since someone invited me to eat peaches, then I will also borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and invite everyone to taste the peaches I planted!" ”

Hearing this, the peach seller said angrily: "Since you planted your own peaches, why did you keep pestering me and making fun of me just now, right?" ”

The Taoist priest smiled but did not speak.

He took a few bites and gnawed the peach in his hand, and only after there was only one peach pit left, he smiled back and said, "I just asked you for peaches, mainly for this peach pit." ”

As he spoke, he looked at a nearby vendor selling steamed buns and asked him for a pot of boiling water, saying that he wanted to use boiling water to grow his peach pits.

The steamed bun seller was also a fan of excitement, so he quickly lent the pot and boiling water to the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest buried the peach pit in the crack of the bluestone brick and poured a whole pot of boiling water on it.

As he watered, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you see that if I count from one to three, the peach pits in this field will grow peach trees and bear fruit!" ”

This....

Cheng Sheng looked at the Taoist priest with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Some of the onlookers who believed the Taoist priest's words also showed shocked expressions and watched the Taoist priest's performance with great anticipation.

"One!"

The priest began to count.

"Two!"

"Three!"

When I counted to 'three', I saw that in the bluestone brick crack where the peach pit was buried, there was really a bud drilling out of it.

The buds grew rapidly, reaching the height of a man in a matter of moments, and the foliage on them flourished and blossomed and bore fruit at a rate visible to the naked eye.

In a short time, the tree was full of peaches.

The onlookers were amazed and reached out to pick the peaches from the tree.

Out of curiosity, Chengsheng also picked one up.

He broke the peach with his hand, and suddenly frowned: "Why is this peach empty?" ”

"It's empty!"

It's more than just survival.

The rest of the passers-by who picked peaches also quickly noticed the strangeness of peaches, so they looked at the Taoist priest who planted peaches.

"Is it really empty?"

After discovering that the peach he planted was an empty peach, the Taoist priest showed a dejected expression.

He seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and he sat down on the ground suddenly, his eyes glazed and blank...

Meanwhile.

Out of curiosity, Cheng Sheng stretched out his hand and broke a section of the branch of the peach tree.

The branch was as light as tissue paper.

Chengsheng was thoughtful, so he exerted a little force.

This force was not heavy, but a crisp sound of 'click' was heard, and the branches of the peach tree were pinched and shattered on the spot.

Cheng Huo smiled and said: "Unexpectedly, even this kind of water peach tree is fake." ”

It's okay not to say this.

Hearing him say this, the Taoist priest was even more depressed.

He looked at the peach tree that had failed to be planted, and became more and more depressed, and did not speak, but silently pushed the crowd away from the street.

Looking at the back of his departure, Cheng Huo hurriedly followed.

Ahead.

Not long after the Taoist priest left, he suddenly turned a corner and got into a secluded alley, then turned around and bowed to Cheng Huo who was hiding in the dark: "Fellow Daoist, is there something wrong?" ”

Chengsheng was surprised: "Can you tell that I am a monk?" ”

"I can't see it."

The Taoist priest explained, "But I guessed from the clothes you were wearing, and the way you walked and talked, that you must not be an ordinary person. ”

"Then you can see that people are quite accurate." The Taoist priest also introduced himself with a salute: "My name is Tie Niu, a native of Xingzhou. ”

"Xingzhou?"

The Taoist priest was stunned when he heard this, "You are from Xingzhou outside the 'Ten Thousand Miles Spiritual Light Great Array'?" ”

As he spoke, he also reported to his home: "I am looking for one in Xiale, and I am a Taoist priest of the Great Dao Sect." ”

Dao Sect?

Chengsheng looked puzzled.

Seeing his expression, Daoist Le was looking for a look: "If it is the first time for Daoist friends to come to Leizhou, then it is understandable that I don't know my Dao Sect." ”

"My Dao Sect is actually similar to the sect where you believe in the 'Mother of Pain', but we believe in the 'Mitian Immortal Venerable'."

Mitian Immortal Venerable....

Chengsheng secretly kept this title in his heart.

He didn't care about the 'Great Dao Sect' in the Taoist priest's mouth, but was just interested in the spell of 'planting peaches', and immediately expressed his intentions: "That.... Looking for a friend, you just planted a peach tree with boiling water, is it a spell? ”

"What? Do you want to learn? ”

Xun Yi: "This spell can only be learned by our Dao Sect people, if you really want to learn it, I can recommend you to our Dao Sect General Altar in Leizhou." ”

"And then...."

As he spoke, Xun Yi added: "If you want to enter our Great Dao Sect, the premise is that you must not be a member of the Great Buddhism. ”

"But I don't think you're a monk like this, so it shouldn't be a big problem at this point...."
