Chapter 12: The Dead-Knot Dilemma
The flame was pale in color, like a drop of water, and not very conspicuous.
Just like the shallow traces left on the sword before, they merged into this trace of flame.
The iron sword is still colorless and lightless, mediocre.
Chen Fusheng frowned.
Think about it for a moment.
It seemed that the silver-haired man stroked the blade of his sword with his fingers.
"Did he do it?"
At this time.
Jiang Youcai came out of the hall and shouted respectfully:
"Little fairy, I have taken out my belly pocket according to your instructions. ”
Chen Fusheng put away his sword and got up.
Returning to the hall with Jiang Youcai, he saw that the belly pocket had been folded and placed on the table.
Jiang Afu supported his daughter-in-law, and when he saw Chen Fusheng, he knelt down with gratitude on his face, and snorted three times in a row:
"The great kindness of the little immortal, Ah Fu will never forget!"
Chen Fusheng sat on the chair, holding the hexagram flag, and received a great gift from Jiang Afu.
This is to accept grace on behalf of the old Taoist priest and form a good fate.
"Get up!"
Chen Fusheng smiled and nodded, then put away his belly pocket on the table and stuffed it into his backpack.
The Jiang family had already arranged a table of wine and food, and together with the apprentices and husbands of the Jiang family, they respectfully beckoned Chen Fusheng to take a seat.
Chen Fusheng was not polite, he was indeed hungry.
After a polite toast, Chen Fusheng put down his cup and chopsticks and muttered:
"I have one thing to ask for. ”
Jiang Youcai hurriedly arched his hand and said:
"Torture the villain, the little fairy just said, no matter what, my whole family will not give up!"
Chen Fusheng pointed to the rucksack beside him:
"I came to Baoqi Town this time to bring the remains of my mentor Jiang Botong back to my roots and bring them home for burial. ”
When Jiang Youcai heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised:
"Ahh
"Exactly. ”
Chen Fusheng nodded slightly, said briefly, explained the relationship with the old Taoist, and continued:
"The teacher never forgets it, and the leaves return to the roots. ”
"It's just a pity that the Jiang family's old house has been destroyed, and it is difficult to achieve their wish. ”
"So I thought, with your father and son as a table, instead of the Jiang family, I received the remains of my teacher, performed sacrifices, and buried them near the old mansion. ”
"It's only because my teacher is a cultivator that he makes a vow to return to his roots, and then he can live without a soul. If you can fulfill this wish, you will be able to rest in peace and fulfill the meaning of this life. ”
After Chen Fusheng finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong.
Jiang Youcai and Jiang Shi looked embarrassed and hesitated.
Chen Fusheng couldn't help frowning, a little displeased:
"Why? Don't you want to?"
Jiang Youcai hurriedly stood up, and because he was in a hurry, he slammed the table with a bang, and said with a panicked face:
"The little fairy misunderstood, it's not that the villain's family is ungrateful. But...... Instead, you said that you must be a descendant of the Jiang family and perform the sacrifice on your behalf...... But I'm not a descendant of the Jiang family......"
"Huh?" Chen Fusheng was suddenly surprised.
Jiang Youcai looked ashamed and snorted:
"Don't dare to deceive the little fairy, outsiders don't know about it. It was my father who told me when he died, and my mother admitted it...... I am a male descendant of my mother's family, not the blood of the Jiang family. ”
Chen Fusheng immediately froze.
The whole room fell into an awkward silence.
"What can I do about this?" Chen Fusheng was anxious in his heart.
If the old Taoist priest can't return to his roots and be buried by his relatives, his soul will definitely be greatly damaged. At the least, they will be annihilated and will sink into hell. The heavier one will give birth to treachery, and it will never be superborn.
Chen Fusheng was raised by the old Taoist priest since he was a child, and the grace of nurturing, teaching, and maintaining has become a close relationship.
This only wish, even if it goes to the soup, must be fulfilled.
But it's not a matter of not doing your best, it's that you can't do it anymore.
"Does the Jiang family have any descendants of the bloodline?" Chen Fusheng hurriedly asked.
"This ...... It's gone...... Jiang Youcai sighed, "Our family is the closest blood relative of my cousin's family, and the others are gone." ”
For the first time, Chen Fusheng lost his peace.
Hearts are in turmoil!
At this moment, how can you still be in the mood to eat......
He let out a long sigh, got up, and said:
"I'll go out for a walk, and you'll do your own thing. ”
After saying that, he carried the banner and walked away.
Jiang Youcai and the others were left behind, looking at each other.
......
......
The autumn breeze is blowing.
Falling leaves all over the sky.
Barren mountains, ancient roads, and green shirts and Taoists are moving forward blankly.
I don't know how long I walked, I don't know where I went, Chen Fusheng was depressed, sitting on a rock, staring blankly at the dim sky.
Isn't there anything that can be done?
He gradually calmed down and diverged his thinking.
It's a pity that the method of divination and hexagram questioning in the Daomen will be extremely deviant. Unless it is a person with a very high realm, divination will have a strong backlash against its own fate.
If it weren't for that, Chen Fusheng really wanted to give himself a divination, and he would have some hints.
"I'm missing ...... right now"
"Serendipity......
As soon as Chen Fusheng thought of this, his heart suddenly moved.
In addition to divination, I also have the ability to spy on chance!
I don't know how likely this is.
But sitting so dry, with no purpose and no clue, definitely can't do it.
Previously, due to the digging of the "Well Palace Dragon Raising Medicine", he also indirectly relied on this opportunity to solve the matter of the elixir.
If you can sense some opportunities and cause some changes, you may be able to untie the dead knot and dilemma in front of you.
What's more, I promised the fox demon before to ask for a chance for her.
Chen Fusheng made a decision.
Give it a try anyway.
He immediately concentrated, planted the hexagram flag, and began to perform the magic ritual.
First, take a step to the east, take nine slow steps, and recite silently:
"Fusheng Heaven and Earth Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. ”
Then, facing north, walk slowly for nine steps, and recite silently:
"Fusheng Heaven and Earth Merit Emperor. ”
Turn to face west, walk slowly for nine steps, and recite silently:
"Fusheng Heaven and Earth Pudu Supreme. ”
Finally, take nine steps to the south and recite silently:
"Fusheng Heaven and Earth Dayan Holy Venerable. ”
The Quartet reversed nine steps, finished reciting silently, stepped back to the center, closed his eyes and closed his palms.
Chen Fusheng was in a nervous mood again, and his chest was pounding uneasily.
Waiting for the next moment!
Suddenly.
Time seemed to stop in an instant.
All audible voices were lost at this moment.
Suddenly!
In his closed eyes, he sensed an endless cloud of steam.
The surging viscous feeling like a tide enveloped Chen Fusheng's body.
Chen Fusheng didn't dare to make any moves, allowing this feeling to spread.
The mysterious and indescribable experience passed in a flash.
All the oppression suddenly disappeared.
Chen Fusheng felt that there was no longer any restraint and he could open his eyes.
He took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
The line of sight has never been clearer!
There are still endless clouds and smoke in front of you, far and wide.
Eyes ahead.
It is an arch bridge that seems to cross the heavens and the earth.
The arch bridge is like white jade, and the shape is gorgeous.
The bridge is dotted with golden light, like stars.
At the other end of the white jade bridge, there is a vast expanse of land.
The earth is like a chessboard!
Hundreds of grids, square, vertical and horizontal.
In each square, you can see mountains, rivers, outlines of state cities, and markets.
It is still the same as the original, with a light veil on all the surface of the checkered. If it is covered by a thick fog, it is difficult to distinguish and it is difficult to see.
There is only one square, and the mist spreads out, and the content is visible.
This square is the closest to the Platinum Bridge.
Chen Fusheng hurriedly stared at the nearest square, looking into the distance.
It can be seen that within the square, a nameless barren stone path clearly appears.
On the edge of the rock pile of the stone road, a hexagram flag can be faintly seen.
and "myself" who is not far from the hexagram flag, silent and closed-minded.
See!
Chen Fusheng was very excited.
He immediately focused his gaze on the movement around him.
Really!
As expected!
A flickering glimmer of light danced within his vision.
The light appeared in an area near the Barren Ridge Stone Path.
Although the distance is too far to estimate, if you can see the light flashing, it means that you can find it!
In addition to this light, there are many rays of light that have begun to be laid out bit by bit.
Vertical and horizontal grids, according to the rarity, more visible content is spreading.
