Chapter 22 The Dust Rides the Crane
The appearance of this person made the two of them both happy and surprised, happy that their lives should not be extinguished, and they were in a desperate situation, and they were surprised that this person's cultivation was unfathomable, and he actually caught Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd with his empty hand.
The two were surprised, and Lu Bu was even more surprised, he had always boasted of the courage of the overlord of Western Chu, unparalleled in the world, but after the man grabbed his halberd with his bare hands, he did not cut off his palm, and even his arm did not tremble.
"Who are you?" Feeling the Taoist's palm relax, Lu Bula returned to Fang Tian's halberd.
"The poor Dao Ding Jia faction is in charge of teaching the same son. The Taoist said, leaving Lu Bu, who was stunned, turned around and pulled the two of them up, and swept through the air.
Lu Bu knew that he was not the opponent of the Daoist, so he didn't dare to chase after him, and every time the Daoist lifted his qi, he could volley ten zhang in the air and sweep out a hundred zhang, and he couldn't catch up.
The two of them were caught under the armpits by the Taoist, facing the cold wind, inhaling too violently and pouring a stomach of cool air, the fat man's lungs were stimulated, and he coughed again.
After more than ten miles, the Taoist stopped, and the two of them were able to see the whole picture of the Taoist at this time, this person had gray hair and a very old face, when he was in the old age.
"The juniors are clear, thank you for the rescue. After a short period of distraction, Yun Yi bowed.
"Thunder Zi Xie Zhenren rescued. The fat man saluted in pain.
Chen Tongzi waved his hand and said, "Who are you two teachers from?"
Yun Yi didn't understand why he asked, so he just tilted his head and didn't answer. When the fat man saw that he didn't answer, he kept his mouth shut.
"Well, if you two don't talk about it, you don't ask too much. Dust Tongzi waved his hand and said.
"The real person saved the lives of the two of us, I should have told the truth, but without the permission of the master, the junior can't say his name, don't blame the real person. Yun Yi saluted again.
Hearing this, Chen Tongzi nodded slightly, and said, "Poor Dao has something I want to ask two little Taoist friends to help, I don't know what the two little Taoist friends think?"
"The real person has the grace to save my life, but there is a need to do it for us, and the younger generation will not refuse. Yun Yi said.
Chen Tongzi nodded, and handed a white jade seal in his bosom to Yun Yi: "Tired little Taoist friend sent this thing to Yangzhou Huiji County, handed it to the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Restaurant, and told him: 'Far away in the sky, close in front of you, with Liujia, the method is complete, who teaches Linpen, ascend to the throne and take the throne. ’”
"The juniors must bring it. Yun Yi put the seal in his arms and saluted him again.
"Now the world is not peaceful, the two of you are still shallow in cultivation, and it is difficult to ensure that you are comprehensive, so the poor way will help you two open up the meridians of the whole body. Chen Tongzi stretched out his hand and pressed the top of the two people's heads, and the aura entered from the two people's Baihui acupoints, first the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and then the twelve meridians, and after a while, he withdrew his hands.
The two of them looked inward, and found that the meridians were already normal, and the aura was running smoothly, so they were overjoyed, and thanked their peers again.
"It's a pity that Poor Dao doesn't have a qi replenishing elixir on his body, otherwise he can help the two of you go straight to the realm of the beginning. Dust Tongzi smiled.
"The real person opened up the meridians of the two of us all over the body, saving the two of us years of hard work, and the two of us didn't dare to ask for the Qi replenishing elixir anymore. Yun Yi shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Chen Tongzi nodded, his eyes were full of appreciation, and he said, "Poor Dao still has one thing to bother the two little Daoists. ”
"Real person, please speak. Yun Yi said.
"Poor Dao lost last night with the enemy, life is about to end, the limit is approaching, please ask the two little Taoist friends to temporarily bury the poor Dao after the poor Dao feathering. Dust Tongzi let out a long sigh.
Yun Yi raised his head and looked at Chen Tongzi carefully, although Chen Tongzi was old, he had no external injuries on his body, and his Taoist robe was intact, not like he had suffered a heavy blow in fighting with others, and he was suspicious in his heart, so he did not immediately agree.
Chen Tongzi saw through what he was thinking, and said bluntly: "The Dao Sect is noble and dies evil, and the poor Dao will not talk about life and death." Although Poor Dao has not been injured, but the heart and veins are seriously damaged, and the previous forced spell to connect Lu Bu's halberd and open up the meridians for you, the heart and vein trauma are even more serious, and the days are running out. ”
"True human cultivation is unfathomable, is it helpless?" Yun Yi was slightly sad.
"I don't have the skills to go back to the sky, and I can't live tomorrow at noon. Dust Tongzi shook his head in frustration.
Yun Yi didn't answer again, and was silent for a long time before nodding slightly.
Seeing that he agreed, Chen Tongzi took off the burden on his shoulders and handed it over: "There is still some money in Poor Dao, two little Taoist friends, please buy a coffin for Poor Dao, and the rest of the right should be entangled in your eastward journey." ”
Yun Yi was silent, took the burden and put it on his shoulder, and the three of them walked eastward.
The fat man was injured in his lungs, coughing all the way, and he didn't walk fast, but Chen Tongzi reminded him that his qi and lungs had been healed from internal injuries, and the fat man's injuries improved according to the law.
The fat man is very interested in Chen Tongzi, the Taoist is not an immortal, unless he casts some kind of spell that is not bad in Vajra, otherwise he can't take the white blade empty-handed, he wants to know what kind of spell Chen Tongzi cast before, but Chen Tongzi is tight-lipped about this, and he doesn't leak anything to him at all.
The fat man changed his words again, asking Chen Tongzi how old he was and where his home was, which were the most taboo questions for Taoists, and Chen Tongzi ignored him, and the fat man was bored with himself, so he could only hurry.
Traveling eastward overnight, the next day when the three of them entered a small town, Yun Yi found that Chen Tongzi's face was pale compared to yesterday, and his hair was a little scattered, and he felt sad in his heart.
Chen Tongzi and him just met in Pingshui, but he and the fat man had a life-saving grace, which was more important than Mount Tai, and after walking together for a night, Yun Yi had a lot of good feelings for him.
At this time, the town was very calm, there was no one on the street, the three of them looked for an inn, Yun Yi stepped forward and knocked on the door, knocked several times and did not see anyone open the door, so he kicked the door instead.
The shopkeeper was awakened by the sound of kicking the door, screaming and scolding to come out and open the door, and after opening the door, he saw that the three people were not good-looking, so he immediately changed his face and invited the three into the house with a smile.
When he entered the house and sat down, without waiting for the three of them to give orders, the shopkeeper hurried down to prepare the meal. After waiting for a long time, the meals were served one by one, and now the world is not peaceful, the food is tight, and the meals in the inn are relatively simple.
Chen Tongzi drove the crane and had no intention of eating, Yun Yi also felt sad in his heart, and simply ate a few bites. The fat man had not been able to eat all these days, so he opened his belly and ate it.
After eating, the three of them asked for two rooms, the fat man slept and snored, let him be alone, and Yun Yi and Chen Tongzi shared a room.
"You haven't closed your eyes all night, go to bed early. Seeing Yun Yi's eyes stunned, Chen Tongzi waved his hand and said.
"The real person is a great grace, the younger generation is unforgettable, the real person has other wishes, and the younger generation must do their best and go all out. Yun Yi rubbed his reddened eyes and said.
Chen Tongzi shook his head slightly, turned to the couch and crossed his knees, chanting in a low voice to make up for the morning class.
Yun Yi couldn't bear the sleepiness that followed, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep on his side. Before the time came, he began to have nightmares, dreaming that he was chased and killed by Lu Bu yesterday, and Chen Tongzi suddenly appeared to save him, and then woke up and hurriedly got up and looked at Chen Tongzi beside the bed.
Chen Tongzi still maintained a meditative posture, but his face had become pale, his hair was fluffy, Yun Yi trembled and stretched out his hand to test his pulse, and his heart was extremely cold after a try, Chen Tongzi's yang energy was exhausted, his soul was separated from his body, and the little body temperature that still existed on his wrist showed that he had not been flying the crane for a long time, and it should not be more than an hour.
Holding back the grief in his heart, Yun Yi got up and went to the ground, and bowed deeply to the remains of the same son: "Congratulations to the real ......"
After the salute, Yun Yi went to the next room to wake up the sleeping fat man, and the two went downstairs together to ask the shopkeeper where the coffin shop was.
After inquiring about the location of the coffin shop, the two went to buy the coffin and memorial supplies.
The coffin was heavier, and the two couldn't move it, so they asked the owner of the coffin shop to set a car and send it to the inn where they stayed.
When the coffin was delivered to the inn, the shopkeeper was even more worried, and when he saw Yun Yi go upstairs and carry the remains of his son, his face turned pale instantly, and he trembled.
Yun Yi didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper, there was a lot of silver left by the dust Tongzi, and there was still a surplus after buying the coffin, leaving half of it as a coil for the eastward journey, and the other half invited a few strong men to carry the coffin out of the town and find an underground burial.
The purpose of this move is to prevent suspended animation, there is still a glimmer of life, and if it is buried, it will suffocate to death in the ground. But Chen Tongzi is a master of Taoism, and he can clearly predict his own deadline, and the mortuary has no practical significance.
After leaving the town, Yun Yi climbed high and looked far away, and chose a place to shelter from the wind and collect air as the place where the dust and the son slept for a hundred years.
Among the people who carry the coffin are those with digging tools, after falling into the coffin, the ground begins to be moved, the weather is very cold, seven or eight strong men dig together, a few pouts down only knock out a few white marks, seeing this situation, Yun Yi and the fat man can only do it themselves, and dig hard with both arms.
After digging for half an afternoon, the grave was excavated, and everyone worked together to place the coffin and backfill the grave bag.
After sending everyone away, the two burned incense to pay tribute to the deceased souls, and silently recited several volumes of the ghost scriptures, and when everything was done, the sky was already dark, and the two continued to travel east while the night was dark.
After walking a short distance, the two heard a slight footstep behind them, stopped and looked at each other, and then looked back, only to see a black shadow suddenly crouching into the grass.
"It's people, let's go. Yun Yi turned around and walked again.
The fat man quickly followed, and asked, "What is he doing with the two of us?"
Yun Yi sneered and didn't answer, followed by the person who carried the coffin before, this person must have seen the heavy burden he carried, guessed that there were a lot of silver taels in it, and became greedy.
Yun Yi knew this person's intentions, and it would not be difficult to kill this person, but he didn't do it. Everyone has a dark side, and if the other party does not take action, then it is not considered a mistake, and he will not punish him. If the other party is really hard-hearted, and the desire to seek money and kill his life will not disappear, he will teach him to have no return.
For several miles, the man had been following behind, but he had not made a move, so he should have been unable to make up his mind.
People's patience is limited, Yun Yi very much hopes that the other party will be killed, the death of Chen Tongzi makes him feel very aggrieved, he desperately wants to spill this anger, seeing that the other party is undecided, he stopped and turned back: "Come directly if you want to do anything, and go home if you don't have the guts!"
The man was already a thief, so he shivered when he heard the sound, and subconsciously squatted into the grass.
"You've been following all the way, hurry up if you want to do it. Yun Yi shouted again.
The man thought for a moment, and thought that the two of them were still young, so he stood up with his heart upright, and slowly approached the two of them with an object in his hand.
"Yo, it's a carpenter. The fat man saw that what the other man was holding was an adze, and pursed his lips disdainfully.
