Chapter Eighty-Eight: Climbing to the Golden Peak

Li Moru hugged the injured old village owner, and Sui Anran burst into tears on the side.

's parents died early, and they were raised by their grandfather and master since they were children, and their feelings for the two of them can be imagined.

After the dust outside had settled, the old man came over.

Sui Anran called the master, and the old man's heart melted, stretched out his hand to take the pulse, and said: "It's okay, it's just some external injuries, it's not too serious, go back and get some notoginseng leaves, mash and put it on, and then grab two chickens to stew soup with some Chinese medicine, and it's good to recuperate." ”

"Let's go, let's go back first. ”

Li Moru carried the old village owner Sui Anran on his back to take care of him, while the old man Gu walked in front, and the four of them walked like this for more than an hour before they walked into the village.

The people who had been hiding in the village early had already come out of the cave and began to clean up the farm tools and chicken coops that had been overturned by the Five Poisons Sect, only the stone mill under the peach tree was silent.

The villagers they had saved from the Five Poisons Sect had all returned to their homes and closed the door tightly, as if they had not yet come out of the shadow of being caught.

Li Moru and Sui Anran came to the village, several people in the village rushed over to help bring the old owner into the house, and Sui Anran cleaned up the bottles and cans on the ground.

He took Li Moru to pick some notoginseng leaves and mash them, and then asked other men in the village to help the old village owner bandage them, after he bandaged them and lay down to rest, the old man Gu went up to his house and took some medicinal herbs down, and told the people in the room how to boil them, how to take them, and after explaining, he turned around and went towards the golden top of Fanjing Mountain.

Sui Anran said: "Master, I want to stay here to take care of my grandfather, and I will go to you in a few days to admit my mistake." ”

"Well, little Anran, you will stay here and take care of your grandfather first, and then this kid, follow me to the golden top. ”

Sui Anran asked, "What are you looking for Brother Li for?"

"There's something to ask him, don't worry. ”

"Okay, Brother Ang Li, I just need to take care of this, you go up with the old man. ”

Li Moru nodded: "Okay." ”

"By the way, don't forget to take your baggage. ”

Li Moru bent down to pick up the burden on the ground and said, "Okay, Miss An Ran, you take care of the old village owner here first, if you need anything, call me at any time." ”

The golden top is dozens of zhang high, except for a few vines, there is no other point to borrow, the old man Gu said: "I'll go up first, you should be able to come up." ”

Li Moru said: "Yes." ”

The old man flew into the air, and when his body was about to fall, he stepped on the stone wall casually with his toes, and flew up, looking very simple, but only Li Moru knew the difficulty of borrowing strength from the stone wall on the smooth stone wall.

His toes couldn't bend to that extent like the old man Gu, and he guessed that the toes of the old man might have undergone some kind of transformation, and the bending amplitude was almost vertical.

He took a look at the stone wall, although he couldn't borrow like the old man Gu, but with the leisurely tour and the hanging vines around him, these dozens of zhang were nothing to him.

He exerted a leisurely journey, and his internal force was transported to the back shoulder well, Qu Heng, Bingfeng, Tianzong, Zhen Yu, and shoulder Zhen, and the arms of Yunmen, Zhongfu, Tianfu, Xiabai, Qize, Kongshi, Lieque, Jingqu, Taiyuan, Yuji, Shaoshang, and the springs on the soles of the feet.

He flew and jumped, ten zhang high, and then with the help of the vines hanging down all around, his hand grabbed the upward thrust, pulled hard, and his body jumped up, repeating it again, and jumped directly on the golden top of Fanjing Mountain.

Li Moru jumped to the top of the gold, and a large stone appeared in front of him, shaped like a mushroom, like a natural one, and there was a shallow tomb next to it, with a tombstone, which seemed to be cleaned by people often, and there were no weeds next to the tomb.

There were three or four thatched huts on the golden roof, and the old man saw Li Moru jump up and asked, "Boy, this light skill you performed just now is not a magpie stepping branch. ”

"It's not, I call it a getaway. ”

"Getaway, a good name, is it because of Zhuangzi's "Getaway"?"

"Hmm. ”

The old man took Li Moru and walked towards a room not far away.

In the room, Li Moru raised his doubts and asked, "Senior, I want to ask you something." ”

"You say. ”

"Since you will save the old village master, why didn't you take action when the Five Poisons Sect came to the village before?"

The old man said, "This matter, if I say that I fell asleep before, do you believe it or not?"

"I believe it. ”

The old man said with a smile: "That's the case, old man, I am a hundred years old this year, it is inevitable that I love to doze off, plus the reason why I raise Gu, once I fall asleep, I must wait until the Gu worm wakes up, I will wake up, the summer is hot, the Gu worm is also listless, it is inevitable that I will sleep for more time." ”

"But why did you wake up as soon as Miss Enron called you?"

"This matter is a long story, in the final analysis, it's because of the Gu I raised, this matter will be talked about later, you tell me first, when did you and my little Anran meet?"

Li Moru didn't hide anything, explained the process of knowing Sui Anran and his intentions, and asked the old man Gu to teach him the disguise technique.

The old man said: "You are still honest, and for the sake of you protecting our little Anran all the way, I am not unable to teach you, but you tell me first, how can you be hunted down by so many people? You don't look like that kind of evil." ”

Li Moru pondered for a moment, and decided to tell the old man in front of him about winning the jade pillow in the White Horse Temple, for some reason, although the old man did not look good, or even evil, but Li Moru had a little more trust in him.

Sometimes, it's not the wicked who are afraid, but the hypocrisy.

"I went to a competition by mistake, and then accidentally won a treasure that the entire martial arts coveted in the competition, so I ended up in hiding. ”

"What is it that can make so many people want to rob, could it be one of the several thaumaturgy?"

It was the first time Li Moru heard this name, and asked: "What are the great thaumaturgies?"

The old man Gu introduced to Li Moru: There are several exercises in the world, and the legend can prolong people's life, and even rejuvenate and soar in force.

These thaumaturgies are Huashan Ancestor - "Sleeping Heart Sutra", Miao Witch Gu Divine Technique - "Grass Ghost", Shangqing School - "Dengzhen Hidden Recipe", Qingcheng Ancestor - "Resurrection Technique", Shaolin - "Yijin Sutra".

Li Moru heard the conversation between Gu Liangyi and Zhuge Yun before, remembered "Resurrection", and asked, "Resurrection is also counted?"

The old man said: "Of course, "Resurrection" is said to be able to rejuvenate people, although the life span cannot be extended for long, but it can rejuvenate people, which is enough to make many old guys who love beauty compete for it." ”

Li Moru was puzzled, "Why does the Qingcheng faction have such powerful martial arts, but it is still a second-rate small sect on the rivers and lakes?"

"You don't know about this, it is said that "Resurrection" has been passed down from generation to generation, and unfortunately, Gu Liangyi, the successor of the previous generation, disappeared mysteriously, and since then, "Resurrection" has been lost. ”

"And the resurrection technique itself is not a martial art, it is just a rejuvenation of the skin, and the other opposites are not rejuvenated, and with the help of their sect's method of collecting yin and supplementing yang, the yin is extremely damaged, plus the disciples of these generations of the Qingcheng faction, one generation is not as good as the next, and it is the same as, and they have not inherited the martial arts and Taoism of the Qingcheng faction at all. ”

"Originally, the Qingcheng School's double cultivation method was to collect the essence of heaven and earth to supplement the essence of me, and the god of heaven and earth to supplement the god of me. Because of the transformation of heaven and earth, to create my transformation, because of the life of heaven and earth, to continue my life, and because of the breath of heaven and earth, then my breath will not stop. ”

"In these generations, it has completely changed its taste, and one by one it has made people faint and morally degraded, and naturally they have degenerated. ”

Li Moru nodded, "I understand, it's not a problem of martial arts, it's a problem of people." ”

The old man Gu was thoughtful, "So, you must be cautious when choosing the heir of the sect and the heir of martial arts, if you are not careful, if you are not careful, if you lose martial arts, you will have to be infamy." ”

Li Moru smiled slightly: "So, you chose Miss An Ran to inherit your "Grass Ghost", right?"

The old man sighed and said, "Where did I choose Xiao Anran, it was chosen by the grass ghost himself, and I am a delivery person." ”

As he spoke, he sighed, his face full of sadness, "Speaking of which, this matter is to blame that stinky Taoist priest." ”

Li Moru said curiously: "Are you saying that this matter is related to Huiyang Immortal Master?"

"It's not just about it, I sometimes wonder if this stinky Taoist priest is calculating me. ”

When Li Moru heard this, he always felt a hint of a smile, just like the old monk before, when he met with Huiyang Daoren, he was also like this, with a helpless face, the two gave Li Moru the impression that Huiyang Daoist was like a naughty child, and he liked them to have some fun when he was idle and bored.

"What do you mean by that?"

"You don't know, I'm a native of Chudi, and I like to study witchcraft since I was a child, especially when I was in my twenties and thirties, I learned about "Grass Ghost" in an ancient book, and since then, I have been out of control. ”

Li Moru listened, feeling that there were still many similarities between the old man and himself.

"Since then, I have visited Miao Jiang all over the country, while looking for "Grass Ghost", while learning the art of witchcraft, by mistake, I became friends with Huiyang Daoist who was bent on becoming an immortal at that time, this stinky Taoist priest, has not stolen Gu worms from me, and often uses Gu worms to trick people. ”

The corners of Li Moru's mouth couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect that Huiyang Daoist looked like a fairy wind and bones, and he actually had such a face.

The corners of the old man's mouth tilted slightly, and said, "Don't laugh, I can tolerate this, after all, the two of us are friends, it's not a big deal." ”

Li Moran smiled: "I always feel that you and Huiyang Immortal Master are similar, maybe you also went to steal something from him, otherwise you wouldn't be able to talk about it with a smile on the corner of your mouth." ”

"It's okay, at that time, he didn't know where to find the alchemy of the Jin Dynasty, and he was pondering the alchemy by himself, what about me, out of the friendship between friends, will I also go a little bit. ”

Li Moru asked, "What happened later? How did you find "Grass Ghost" later?"

"One day, that stinky Taoist priest in Huiyang told me that he knew where the "Grass Ghost" was and wanted to take me to find it, and you know, I would definitely not let go of this opportunity, so I came here with him. ”

"Later, later, how did you get "Grass Ghost". ”

The old man sighed and said, "I know a woman in Miaojiang, she is the successor of "Grass Ghost", she told me that for people like me who like witches, she is very happy to pass "Grass Ghost" to me, but her master said that "Grass Ghost" can only be passed on to women, not men. ”

"I don't know why, but I think that since women are not men, there must be a reason for it, and although I like it very much, I haven't thought about it for a while. ”

Because they didn't think about it, he and Huiyang Daoren found Fanjing Mountain, the highest mountain nearby, to live, and that woman was a woman in a village not far from Fanjing Mountain.

Li Moru asked, "Then does that woman have anything to do with Miss An Ran?"

"You are wrong about this, Xiao Anran has nothing to do with that woman, and it doesn't even have anything to do with Gu magic. ”
