Outside the city of Jianzhou, You Ziji walked alone among the mountains and forests.

When he went out of the city, he thought that he would be able to find Xuanming Road in a maximum of one or twenty miles, but he didn't know that he had gone out in the morning until the afternoon, but he didn't find it.

You Ziji was anxious, and he acted quickly, not to mention going out for more than forty miles for such a long time. Xu is Xuanming Road is in the ravine, and he has been walking the big road, so he missed it.

So, You Ziji went back again, but did not follow the original path, but went over the mountains and mountains, and only went to the wild countryside. I tossed it around until the evening, and still didn't see any Taoist priests or buildings.

"Could it be that Xuanming Dao is in a cave?"

You Ziji really couldn't figure it out, it was getting late, but the moonlight was bright, so he didn't delay his journey. So he felt back on the main road, and wanted to enter the city.

One afternoon, he didn't know how far he had walked, how long he had been walking in the mountains and forests, and after returning to the main road, he could see Jianzhou City directly.

"It turns out that I walked back, fortunately there is no curfew in this Jianzhou City, otherwise I would be hungry tonight."

You Ziji saved all the way, and there were still some scattered silver taels in his hands, which was enough to find an inn to live in, and he asked for some food.

This Jianzhou City does not close the city gate at night, in addition to the extremely strong garrison in the city, it is also to facilitate the entry and exit of monks of various factions.

Some dignitaries also have their own nightlife, but ordinary people have already gone to bed and will not stay up late.

This inn is just a small shop, naturally there is no need to do late-night trading, the shopkeeper saw that You Ziji was still young, and he personally burned a green vegetable with some leftovers for You Ziji to eat.

"Little doll, it's not easy to see that you are alone in the rivers and lakes."

"It's okay, but the old shopkeeper is so old, why don't you find a shopkeeper to help you."

"Hahaha, I naturally hired a helper, but I haven't slept well at night in the past few days, and I have nothing to do, so I look at the store here, if I usually have rested."

When You Ziji heard this, he carefully looked at the face of the old shopkeeper. He learned some superficial medical skills from Lao Dao, and it is still possible to be a Tulangzhong.

The old shopkeeper had a ruddy complexion, a strong body, and there was nothing wrong with his appearance, but his eyes were darker.

He smiled and said, "What do you think of staring at this old man, is it possible that you also know some medical skills." ”

Seeing that the old shopkeeper seemed to be interested, You Ziji was not polite, and said directly: "The kid is indeed a master of medical skills, if the old shopkeeper has time, can you let me try it." ”

The old shopkeeper has also seen the market, and knows that some people who go to the rivers and lakes can't just look at their appearance, maybe they have real skills. Of course, he didn't think that Youziji could really solve the problem, he just had a long night and had some fun.

He pushed his wrist forward, "Then you can try." ”

You Ziji took his pulse as if he was on the same page, and the old shopkeeper only felt a stream of heat from his wrist to his heart a few times, and then retreated, and said in his heart: "I really have some ability." ”

"Don't worry, old shopkeeper, I see that you are fine, but you are a little anxious, listen to me, and make sure you fall asleep soundly from tonight."

The old shopkeeper was overjoyed, "That's great." ”

With that, he turned around and walked towards the counter.

You Ziji hurriedly stopped him.

The old shopkeeper was puzzled and said, "The old man is old and has a bad memory, so I'll talk about it when I finish taking the pen and paper." ”

You Ziji took out something from his arms and said with a smile: "The old shopkeeper doesn't need to be so troublesome, I have ready-made medicine here." ”

The old shopkeeper thought it was the medicine that "cured all diseases" carried by the footman, and was about to excuse himself, but when he looked at it, it was actually a piece of rune paper, "Little doll, don't tease the old man, what kind of disease can this piece of yellow paper cure, find a Taoist priest who can draw a few at will." ”

"Don't underestimate this peace charm, for ordinary people, it is more than enough to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, and to cultivate your mind, just to cure your illness."

The old shopkeeper showed a clear expression, "Do you still want me to waive your room fee as well?" I've seen you a lot, so I won't fall for your kid. ”

"The old shopkeeper misunderstood, I'm not here to eat rice." You Ziji hurriedly explained: "You take my talisman first, if it is effective, you will keep it, if it is invalid and lost, I will not ask you for money." ”

You Ziji seemed to feel that this was not enough to win people's trust, and when he saw that the flames in the stove pit had not been extinguished, he stretched out his palm to summon a wisp of flames, and then turned into a fire dragon and circled upward, turning into sparks in the sky and falling to the ground.

The old shopkeeper was shocked, "Old and clumsy, it turns out that you are a monk!" ”

"How about it, you can trust me now, you won't lose if you take this talisman back and try it."

Seeing that the old shopkeeper was still skeptical of his words, You Ziji didn't say anything more and continued to eat.

……

Early the next morning, You Ziji was stopped by Xiao Er before he left the inn.

"You can't leave this guest officer."

"Why, I'm not bad at it, let's settle the money."

You Ziji thought that as the old shopkeeper, he decided that he was a charlatan, and specially found someone to keep an eye on him, so as not to let him repay his debts.

Xiao Er said: "The guest officer misunderstood, our shopkeeper specially asked me to wait here, and when you wake up, I will inform him." The shopkeeper wants to thank you in person, not to trouble you. ”

You Ziji doesn't have the time to talk nonsense with people, he still has to find Xuanming Dao.

"I still have to be in a hurry, and it's not too late to thank me next time the old shopkeeper will thank me."

You Ziji left Xiao Er and was about to go out immediately, but the old shopkeeper had already heard the news and rushed over.

The old shopkeeper stepped forward and took You Ziji's hand, "Thank you for the immortal talisman given by the immortal chief, my insomnia last night is really gone." ”

"It's okay, the old shopkeeper remember to take the talisman with him, I still have things to do, and I will talk about it when I have a chance in the future."

You Ziji is light and agile, and when he gets rid of the two of them, he is about to leave.

"I see that the immortal is young, but I want to go to Xuanming Dao to apprentice."

You Ziji paused, turned around and said, "How does the old shopkeeper know?" ”

"Nine out of ten young monks who have come to Jianzhou City want to worship the Xuanming Dao."

You Ziji's eyes lit up, "Does the old shopkeeper know where Xuan Ming Dao is?" ”

The old shopkeeper said: "I just want to tell the immortal chief about this, Xuanming Dao never accepts apprentices, all the monks who came in the past have returned with martial arts, and the immortal chief should choose another place, don't waste time." ”

You Ziji didn't believe it very much, "If Xuanming Dao doesn't accept apprentices, how can it be inherited, I always have to try, but the old shopkeeper still don't dissuade it." ”

The old shopkeeper saw that he had made up his mind, so he continued: "Actually, Xuanming Dao is nearby, but you can't see or touch it, so the immortal chief still doesn't have to bother." ”

You Ziji was very surprised, Xuanming Dao is a sect, how can he not see or touch it?

"What do you mean by that?"

"I don't know about it, it's just from the monks who gave up."

You Ziji was confused, so he had to leave here.

Along the way, You Ziji has been thinking about the words of the old shopkeeper, could it be that the outside world of Xuanming Dao is shrouded in illusion, so there are no clues at all.

As a result, You Ziji's walking speed slowed down, and he used the Five Senses to the extreme, hoping to find the loopholes in the illusion.

As I walked, I suddenly thought of how Chang Yunbai and other Xuanming Daomen people found the entrance every time they went out and went home.

You Ziji had a wit, took out the voucher jade plate lent to him by Chang Yunbai and shook it, but there was no change.

He thought about it and injected his true qi into the jade plate, but found that the jade card was very resistant, and it seemed that only Chang Yunbai's true qi could activate it.

You Ziji had a bitter face, this place was the same as yesterday, and he had been out of the city for more than forty miles, so he had no choice but to return.

This time, he had been holding the jade plaque in his hand, expecting a magical change.

It's just that the way back is a little strange for some reason, and he should have walked it, but he didn't have much impression.

The rocky mountains and steep peaks here are almost vertical, and it stands to reason that such a peculiar scene should be deeply memorable.

"Isn't Mo already in the Xuanming Dao?"

An absurd idea came to Youziji's mind.

He quickened his pace, his figure swept over the stone forest, and suddenly heard the sound of water rushing in front of him, and he stopped and leaned in the direction of the sound of the water. When I came to a cliff, I happened to be on the opposite side of a waterfall, and under the cliff was a clear river, which was a scene that I had never seen in the previous two trips.

After passing the waterfall, the mountain cracks are majestic, towering into the clouds, which makes people yearn for it.

You Ziji was overjoyed in his heart, and decided that there was a high probability that it was where Xuanming Dao was. So he used his blow-blowing technique, and the wind crossed the valley, and he walked on the wind, and came to the opposite bank, and ran in that direction in a hurry.

Passing through a bamboo forest on the way, You Ziji didn't care, and went straight over, but this bamboo forest seemed to have no end, ran for a long time, and there was still a bamboo forest next to him.

You Ziji was a little surprised, and suddenly heard the sound of a game in the bamboo forest, so he walked straight over.

I saw two crane-haired old men, one in white and the other in black, but their clothes were embroidered with the five elements of gossip.

The two focused on playing chess and did not raise their eyes to You Ziji, but what they said was all related to You Ziji.

"This little baby is so bold."

"If others had already been frightened by my bamboo forest formation, their legs would have weakened."

"The qualifications are also very good, at a young age, he is already in the realm of foundation building, and the foundation is solid, which proves that he usually polishes and cultivates, and his heart is also very calm."

"But I don't know how he got in, there is a big array outside the mountain, which can lead passers-by to other places, and then affect their thinking, forming a cognitive obstacle, and few people in a hundred years can come to disturb us."

"What an interesting boy, let me see his roots."

The man in white frowned, how could he still be in the mood to play chess, turned into a wisp of clear air, rolled towards You Ziji, and turned into the main body, and his palm had already grabbed You Ziji's wrist, revealing the certificate jade plate in it.

"It's Chang's nephew's jade plate, what's wrong with him?!"
