The rain stopped, and it fell again.

Stepping on small potholes, there are more yellow-purple mud on the sticky cloth shoes.

The wind chimes under the eaves of the hut moved, the weather was much colder, Li Shuishan couldn't bear to tremble a few times, and when he arrived at the Xieyang Palace, he rubbed on the small bluestone in front of the door, got rid of the mud on the soles of his feet, took a breath of cool air, and walked in.

Qianshan Daoren had long been sitting on the futon made of floating dust, pinching half a small wine cup, drinking slowly with a small mouth, and his mustache was pulled extremely smoothly by him, as if it had been waxed. Floating behind him was the woman Rai loved, who had clearly regained consciousness and sat with her legs folded in the ball.

When she saw Li Shuishan coming, she stood up, her eyes were confused, and she opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't pass the ball, and her expression was sad.

Li Shuishan looked at this little man who was less than the size of his thumb, like the brown sugar man he pinched, and when he looked at it from the side, he looked like a piece of skin in the hand of a shadow puppet singer, performing movements left and right, and it was extremely thin to the touch.

Qianshan Daoren finished drinking a cup of wine, looked at Li Shuishan standing in front of him with a respectful face, and hugged his fists and said, "Senior." ”

The small fluctuations on his face, the fine lines twisted into a ball on his forehead, looming under the corners of his eyes, and then taking a closer look at Li Shuishan's loose gray robe, as if he smiled and said that there was a small example of the cultivation of his predecessors. The immature, reddish face without the waves of time, with a little wheat color, the small eyes are like a quiet natural spring pool, and the waves under the dew drops cannot be folded, and he is quiet like a son who has read a good book.

He spoke, "If you don't look carefully for a few days, you won't know what you used to look like." It's tender and watery, and I'm afraid that if you raise it for a few days, you can get married with eight sedan chairs. I'm afraid that Sun Moon Tang Churchill is a man who likes this kind of appearance very much!"

Li Shuishan blushed and said with a smile: "Seniors, don't make fun of me, how long will it take?"

He spoke again, "Then you can go." ”

Li Shuishan's eyes glanced at the small ball on the side again, and said, "Senior, how is the woman in this ball?"

Qianshan Daoist gently waved his palm, and the ball moved to the position of the two of them. He exhaled softly with the smell of wine, blowing the strange fluid that lingered on the surface of the sphere into the blue he had seen before. The villain in the ball is lit by his air around him, turning counterclockwise, the villain does not move, and the blue fluid on the ball moves.

He pinched the surface of the sphere again, and the breath he spit out just now diluted the blue of the sphere and became a little more blue, and said with a smile: "The yin qi has not yet turned into clear water, so you can't hold it for the time being, and you have to recuperate for a few days." In addition, her consciousness is blurred, I am afraid that she will be tortured by my junior brother, this matter is a little difficult to do, and she must need a soul fixing needle to lock her soul away. Even if the soul is raised and she is released in the air, it is impossible to escape the suppression of the power of nature, and finally the soul body is broken. ”

Li Shuishan sighed, he still couldn't let go of the infatuated Lai in his heart, although he was occupied by Xuanyin, he was trapped under His Royal Highness Xieyang with the Snow Emperor. He also thought that one day he would reunite with his favorite woman, leave this closed nameless city, and achieve the most perfect ending, it seems that the result is unknown, and he then asked: "Qianshan senior, how is the man under the seal?"

Qianshan Daoren said slowly: "If I guess correctly, this man should have survived with this woman when he was an infant, and was hidden by his parents to save his life. It seems that the two are childhood sweethearts and do not have the slightest blood relationship. I remember that a masked black-robed Taoist came to assassinate me, but unfortunately he broke the seal in one corner, revealing the aura of Xuanyin. This breath was not caught by me, it floated away, and it may have fallen on him, but it is a pity that a person who has no bloodline awakening cannot complete the seizure of Xuanyin. That all changed until you came. ”

"Xuanyin is fierce and good at planning and designing. I took the opportunity to introduce you to the Ghost Mansion, disperse my breath, and colluded with the Snow Emperor of Yangfu, only then did I want to break the seal and plot together to embark on the legendary road and step out of the nameless city. ”

"As for this boy, you can't trust it, and you don't have to. The woman's soul will only be a drag in your hands, so stay with me!"

After saying this, the futon under the buttocks of the Qianshan Daoist turned into floating dust, and Li Shuishan's fairy sword was behind him, covered with a green cloth, and the natural recitation: "Thousands of mountains and thousands of miles, the boat treads the water." ”

"It's okay, then let's go!"

The bodies of the two of them were pulled by the floating dust turned into floating dust in the hands of the Qianshan Dao people, and they stepped on it gently, and a gust of wind blew and ran to the sky.

......

Under the ethereal little attic, three waterfalls are hanging, and the little ducks under the water swim happily, dropping two golden pills, revealing under the clear water waves, there is an ugly-looking fat catfish inside, with a curvy beard, and a white light on the big eyes, like a dead fish, and like a glass tile stained to the side, pasted on it, making a little woman dressed up in silver light, so that people can not see the slightest flaw.

Twitching fins in the water, driving ducks ashore.

The duck opened its mouth wide and bit the pebbles on the shore and smashed it on the head of the fat catfish, only to hear the sound of popping into the water, and the frightened fat catfish plunged into the crack of the stone, not daring to look up at the yellow and white feathers on the water. The duck's yellow beak bit off a white feather and fell on the water, unconsciously twisting its tail like a small wild donkey tied to a stone mill.

The colorful pebbles on the surface of the water are spread out, exuding a faint feeling of color painting from the inside out, a little girl is holding a half-open small water scoop, paddling the clear water on the side, there is still a little melon seed shell next to the soft face that has not been erased, he saw the coming old man wearing an indigo robe, the half of the silk edge of the cuffs, the piping of the flowing cloud texture, and the white beard hanging on the chin is soft into silk.

The old man scolded on the side: "Little apricot, don't play in the water by the river." There are thirty pounds of old black catfish below, which will spit out fishy sticky silk, so that your pink clothes can't be stinky for a few days, why don't you listen to me tell stories about the outside world by my side. ”

The little girl kept persuading, pinched the small pebble next to her, smashed into the water, and suddenly landed on the fat catfish, his long black beard flicked, and showed a ferocious aura towards the small figure above. I haven't seen its two small fish eyes see the big fat catfish behind it, an old eye, like a red lantern in the night, its forehead is worn to the outside of a layer of black skin, less mucus, and stretches out its mouth, revealing only two teeth left in the tooth bed.

Seeing the little black catfish in front of you is like a hunter seeing his prey.

It opens its mouth and swallows it in one gulp.

Before the little black catfish could make any sound, it was eaten by the abyss and spit out a pair of bubbles.

Immediately, stretching out his red lantern eyes, facing the little girl above, a little mucus fell from its mouth, meaning that it was not finished, it quietly revealed the flat fish mouth, the long beards on both sides shook slowly, and just about to jump out of the water, he heard the old man's scolding: "Water, can make you live." If I draw water and let a bronze mirror hang on the waterfall, you will become a water dragon. ”

"Give you a chance to attain the Tao, it can be seen that you don't eat the fireworks of the world, but still retain your wildness. I want to open my mouth again and again to devour people, do you want to hurt the demon muscles?" Seeing the small thin stick in the old man's hand, he clicked on the pebbles on the ground, touched his little beard, and let the old fat catfish under the water slowly hold his body and sink to the bottom.

The little girl came back with two little ponytails, flicking and flicking, holding a golden egg in her hand, and said to the old man with a smile: "Grandpa, look at this duck egg." Can you cook it for me?"

The old man touched his forehead a few times, "Okay." If the little apricot wants to eat, I'll do it. ”

The little girl put the golden pill in the old man's hand, and he pinched it and held it in his hand. It waved its hand at the clear spring water, causing a small stream of water to fall in front of his eyes. The golden egg hung in the air, hovering, steaming around the small bamboo pole in his hand. The old man's eyes were understated, his fingers kept drawing, and Jin Dan slowly warmed up in the steaming water.

But after a while, the little girl watched in surprise as Jin Dan automatically peeled off the shell and fell into the hands of the old man. He blew it, gently handed it to the little girl's mouth, and said, "Little apricot, can you listen carefully to my story?"

She nodded, "Okay!"

The old man closed his eyes and touched the white brown facial spots on the side, the white and yellow duck in the distance sat on the pebbles with his legs curled, and the little girl took a bite slowly, and listened with wide eyes, "In the outside world, there is a small town, where the people are very friendly, and there is always a jar at home for a long time, go to the tavern to buy good food, wait for someone to stay, and the lost tourists bow down and ask to stay." There was a small red boat by the river, around a big circle, and there were thousands of small carp in the water, which did not come out of their heads to change. Because they don't have gills, they have the facial features of a man who is about the same as a man. ”

"Their eyes will move with the movement of the people on the shore, and sometimes they will be happy when they see people, they will be sad when they see people, and they will show their fierce teeth when they see people angry in the sky. ”

But they don't eat people, they only change with people's feelings, their beaks become large and rounded, and the fins in front of them become human-like hands, and they begin to tear aquatic plants in the water, and hook up the big river mussels below as their own nests. Along with his companions, he gathered around a wide stone and watched the red boat flow into their eyes. I learned love and hate, emotions and thinking, how to use human thinking to hunt prey, how to use tools. ”

"That lake is bottomless, and there is no end in sight. They feel a slight burst of water peeking out of it, and a huge animal poking its head out of it, revealing its sharp claws, as if they were seeing a delicacy. But one day the fish escaped from the lake and tried to jump ashore. The fins, which have not yet completely degenerated, are tightly wrapped and put on people's clothes, and they can see people's eyes clearly, learn people's scheming, and learn people's tongues. ”

It didn't take long for a Taoist with a peachwood sword in his hand to see through their body. They were all imprisoned and kept in a water prison. They resented each other in their hearts, and finally tore open the cage that bound them, killed the Taoists, and killed people everywhere with their swords. Finally, a street was filled with the smell of blood and stumps and severed arms. ”

"An old man came, and she covered all the fishmen with a kettle, and at last all the fish were turned into a little boy in the pot, and he filled it with a jug of wine, because after a long time, the fish turned into a little smoke and ran out to a temple. ”

The little girl smiled and asked, "What kind of story is Grandpa is talking about, and how can there be such a monster?" If the little black in the water (the black catfish that was eaten by the old catfish that day) also jumped down the waterfall to the lake above, then it will also become a human like that fish?"

The old man smiled and said, "No." ”

"Oh?" the little girl was a little disappointed, she wanted to see the fish in the old man's mouth turn into human form, and talk to them carefully, but he did not understand what the old man said, after all, the little girl was still young, and she did not get rid of the innocent, naïve, and playful thoughts, and she would not grasp the meaning and comprehend it.

The old man sighed, "Although it won't become a human form, it can go beyond the small gate (dragon gate) of the human world, and it will become a dragon." You can see that it is full of auspicious clouds, like the body of a snake, the tail is not divided, there are fish fins at the end, the head is pointed like horns, slender, and the front end is slightly curved, which looks like the swing you swing. ”

He looked at the rope hanging from the two old elm trees not far away, with a bamboo frame in the middle, and the back was woven with a thin bamboo stick, erasing the sharpness on it, and applying a layer of light colloid, the little girl opened her arms and ran over with her little feet. She walked steadily, and stood beside it, and the wind stirred the bamboo frame, driving the sleeping insects on it.

The insects had three-colored carapaces, and their two little eyes were blown away by the wind.

The wind moved, and it moved.

The wind moved again and moved to the corner.

The wind moved again, and it flipped over and fell to the ground.

The little girl stepped on the pebbles in the corner, it was squeezed into the gap of the pebbles, the wind blew, and a big foot landed on his little paws, fluttered a few times, and could touch the soles of the girl's feet. He tilted his head, squeezed by the pebbles in the gaps, but fortunately the carapace was hard and avoided becoming a meat slurry.

As the little girl lifted her foot, he was pushed over.

The little girl shouted, "Grandpa, push me, I'm going to swing." ”

The old man put down what he was thinking about and walked over with a small stick. As soon as the tricolor beetle raised its head to look at the little lord who often played here, he was trampled to the ground by one of the old man's big feet, touched his tentacles, and sneaked away.

The old man's feet were very light, and before he could reach the beetle's legs, he withdrew his feet and made it make a false alarm.

The old man supported with one hand, pulled the bamboo basket with the other hand to push, the little girl's smile was like a smile blooming, her eyes were full of vitality, her face showed two clear laughs, her slightly yellow hair was dimmed in the beautiful and debauched laughter, so that the old man's eyes could not be taken away, staring tightly.

......

In the sky, a small cloud, like a ball of marshmallows touched by Li Shuishan, slipped away along the tips of his fingers. The dust of the Thousand Mountains Daoist tightly buckled the soles of his feet, allowing him to keep his body steady, and every time he wanted to hold back his temperament, he touched the clouds close in front of him, but he only hooked the edge.

Looking close, there is actually some distance.

In the small houses underground, from time to time, someone looked up and twice, and then immediately withdrew his gaze and did his own thing. After a small settlement, there was a small river, and at the end of the river, at the end of which there were three waterfalls, and from this side the sky was connected to the three waterfalls, and there was a lake in the middle of each one, but the top one was the widest, and the mist that floated in the air was halfway up. There is also an old weeping willow on it, hanging down long thin branches and leaves, and small stones are pressed on it, diverting the falling water.

The wicker hangs down one by one, close to the water's edge.

On the other side, a fish came out of the small water, opened its mouth illusoryly, revealing the golden yellow of its whole body, bit a corner, and continued to dive. Before he could take the second sip, he was washed down by the water from the waterfall and plummeted.

The Qianshan Daoist said, "The three waterfalls are called 'Divide', 'Don't' and 'Leave' by the people in the city. Points, meaning that the two fish of yin and yang are divided, the upper one is the lake, and if a fish jumps up, you can seize the opportunity to jump the dragon gate and successfully turn into a dragon. And the wine that did not cross only became food for the fat catfish below.

Don't, a fish has only one chance, and the fish that falls will die, and there will be no more chance to go up. So much so that many fish have recognizable eyes to identify the surface of the lake above, and there is no hole in this jumping level, and I can't see it.

Away, that is, the fish turns into a dragon, takes off into the air, flies into the lake, and is far away from the nameless city. This is also to get rid of this sea of suffering, tired of the dangerous place, escaped from the ascension, I don't know if there are dragon things that have gone out, whether they really walked out. ”

"If they really cross the three waterfalls, they are the most potential monsters. In such a realm, their ancestors could not accomplish things, they could do it. ”

Li Shuishan had doubts in his heart and asked, "Senior Qianshan, do you mean that this nameless city also divides the way of leaving humans and demons?

The Qianshan Daoist said without concealment, "Demons, demons, and gods are all the five major races in the world. The strength of the five clans is comparable, and there is no lack of any comparative strength. There are no longer a few of them who have turned into human bodies, but you can't see through their hidden nature. As the ghost king of the ghost mansion, I can only subtly see through the ghost body with average strength, and the ghost mansion only summons some underground souls.

Nameless City naturally has their own way of stepping out, although it is in the territory of the Terrans, logically speaking, it should be the majority of the Terrans. But if you see through their essence, you will know that they are equal to us. But they all took on the form of men.

This seal, Old Ancestor Shu seems to be a person who manipulates it with one hand, I don't know who will be behind him? I don't know which clan it is a human, ghost, demon and god, it is difficult to figure out. ”

Li Shuishan frowned, but he was surprised in his heart.

"These things really frighten me. ”

Qianshan Daoren smiled and said, "Don't be surprised. If the half-immortals in the mortal world naturally don't know about these things, if you come here and meet me, I will tell you a little bit. To become the heart of a Taoist, you need perseverance, and difficulties and obstacles are changeable. When you can't touch or see, you have to step forward. ”

"There is a world of visible and invisible. Now that you see it, you still have to take on the mission of the human race. ”
