Chapter 435: Higher than the sky
The old man kept laughing, which made the two sword cultivators a little furious.
After about a stick of incense, the old man stopped laughing, tried his best to open his eyes, which had no eyeballs, and said: "Let me take a closer look, who released the old man? It turned out to be two young dolls, you are doing very well, and the old man will naturally not treat you badly." ”
The middle-aged sword cultivator was a little unhappy with the three words of the little doll, but he didn't dare to show it, but he just echoed it and said words praising the old man. This made the old man extremely useful, and the strange laughter that had stopped echoed in the cave again.
"It's been a long time since I've been out of the cave, and it's rare to be able to breathe fresh air, and the old man is very happy. The evil cultivator stared at the two people under the high platform and said, "It's just that the old man has a reluctant request, I don't know if the two of you can agree to me?"
The two men nodded their heads.
"So much for the best. You see if there is nothing in the old man's eyes, and I won't tell you that it is the handwriting of the immortal who sealed me here back then. Now that we are out of trouble, the first thing we need to do is to recover. Therefore, the two souls are temporarily borrowed, of course, and they will never be returned. As he spoke, the old man raised his hands, and immediately a purple-black halo rippled through the cave. Unlike the old man's composure, the two of them at this moment were already having difficulty breathing, and they only felt that they were going to die in the next moment.
His own life was threatened, and Jian Xiu immediately shouted: "Aren't you afraid that I will suppress you again with paper talismans?"
"But that paper talisman is what I left in the world in order to be able to get out of trouble in the future? You don't really think that with that paper talisman, you can make me obey my words, right? If that's the case, does it mean a lot to me if I can't get out of trouble?" Thousands of years have passed, although the realm of the old man has fallen, but it is still the realm of bamboo basket and water, coupled with the magic of the body, these two heavenly mandates will not even have a chance to fight back, and they will empty their souls and become food in his belly.
The old man licked his lips, punched the top of his head through, and then swept out of the cave. He greedily tasted the taste in the air, and said to himself: "It's better to restore your realm first, otherwise it will be difficult to protect yourself." In today's world, the immortal who sealed me here must have gone to the outer heavens above my head, right? As long as I do things neatly and don't attract the attention of the four major academies, there must be no danger. There's a little town not far away, and God seems to be helping me!"
After saying that, he broke through the air and walked in the direction of Jicheng.
......
At this moment, on the streets of Jicheng, Zhuge Chen and Wang Daxue were wandering. In front of the two of them were Lao Liu and Zeng Ruoyu and her maid, the only daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion only planned to call Wang Daxue with them, and she never wanted to be followed by the cheeky white clothes. The reason for saying it is also strange, there is no one he knows among them, and he is afraid of being plotted, so it is safer to follow his brother.
Zeng Ruoyu was too lazy to bother with Bai Yi, so he followed him. However, Xiao Qin always put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and as long as he disagreed, he would behead Zhuge Chen.
Along the way, Zhuge Chen saw that everything was fresh, bought this and that, and spent money like running water. He patronized the whole street for food, and that's it, but it was some inconspicuous gadgets that he liked the most. I don't ask the price, let alone bargain, I just take it in my hand, pay and leave, like a very magnificent son-in-law. Zeng Ruoyu is now able to choose to ignore what Zhuge Chen has done, but Xiao Qin does not have this skill, and his eyes are full of disgust. Fortunately, Bai Yi didn't take it seriously, and still went his own way. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Zhuge Chen did not put these gadgets in the mustard seeds, but asked the vendor for a large cloth bag and put them all in.
One of them, cast in bronze, looked very worn out and was very much to his liking. Others may not be able to see it, but Zhuge Chen discovered at a glance that the ingenuity of the wine cup manufacturing is very likely to be made by cultivators above the realm of the True Dao, or it is born and raised. For example, the reason why the heavenly immortal brew can be sold so expensive is mainly because there are many mysteries in it, and it is very likely that mortals will build a cultivation path after drinking it. From the selection of materials to the use of water, all the immortal brews are all taken from the river water from the sky, and the pursuit is not quantity, but impeccable quality. Even the vessels used for sake brewing are extremely valuable. So Zhuge Chen even had a trace of thought in his heart, with the bronze wine cup, would he be able to brew immortal brew?
Although he did not have the leisure to try it elegantly, it was also excellent to hand it over to someone else, and it was also excellent for him to take a few jars of fine wine from the other party every year.
Therefore, the cup was stored in the realm by him, and was not stored in the mustard seed with the rest of the items.
Now Zhuge Chen's jade bowls and bamboo chopsticks are full of priceless treasures. For example, the immortal coins are placed in it, and they can't be spent in this world, because it will cause an uproar. But he will eventually return to heaven and heaven, and Zhuge Chen knows the truth that it is difficult to move an inch without money. If you want him to be the little beggar again, Bai Yi is naturally a hundred unwilling in his heart.
Wang Daxue glanced at Zhuge Chen, and reminded: "Brother Chen, let's go faster, don't wait until the trip is delayed." ”
Zhuge Chen nodded in agreement, but he was still standing next to the stall. It wasn't until he finally moved his steps that he realized that the four were gone. So better, although Jicheng is located on the border of Dayan and adjacent to the desert, it is vast and sparsely populated. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he can take a good stroll. He turned into the alley, looked around and saw that no one had noticed him, so he swept up to the roof. He stretched his muscles and slowly lay down, squinting his eyes slightly, how leisurely and comfortable.
"Get down here, you can go up to my house?"
At this moment, a slightly immature voice came into Zhuge Chen's ears, and he followed the voice, and a little boy with braids was standing in the small courtyard at his feet. The little boy is delicate, like a porcelain doll, although he scolds angrily, not only will it not annoy people, but he will think she is extremely cute. Zhuge Chen lay on his side and said, "Just lie down for a while, what can't you do, besides, I can still steal all the bricks and tiles of your house?"
The little boy reluctantly said: "Don't talk nonsense, a ruffian bastard face." If you want to lie down, you can go to the roof of someone else's house to lie down, I can't care about singing, in short, my house just can't do it!"
Zhuge Chen still didn't mean to leave, but asked, "What about your family, why are you yourself?"
"Can you manage it?" the little boy asked rhetorically, and immediately went to find a bamboo pole, trying to knock Zhuge Chen to the ground: "I will warn you one last time, if you don't roll down, I will really beat you." When the time comes, if you really get hurt because of this, you can only ask for your own hardship, and I won't lose money!"
Next to the little boy, an old dog barked wildly, but it was so old that it had to stop and catch its breath many times.
"The boy is paired with the old dog, and the world is really weird. Zhuge Chen laughed softly, and then turned over from the roof and jumped into the courtyard: "Then it's up to you." ”
He walked past the little boy, sat directly on the bench in the courtyard, and then took out a handful of melon seeds and said, "Do you eat it?" ”
Looking at the melon seed skin that fell to the ground, the little boy couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed towards Zhuge Chen with a bamboo pole in his hand, and couldn't stop cheering for himself. Looking like that, it looks like you want to fight with Zhuge Chen.
Zhuge Chen felt amused for a while, and let the bamboo pole fall on his body, and the cyan sword qi had already flown out of his sleeve, cutting off the bamboo pole, but it did not hurt the little boy.
"What about your adults?" Zhuge Chen asked again: "They shouldn't be at ease that a boy like you is at home alone, right?" Tell me, anyway, I have nothing to do now, and I really want to talk to strangers. ”
The little boy with the broken rod was a little frightened, but he still kept his neck shut and kept silent. Nuancai Literature Network
Zhuge Chen crushed the melon seed skin on the ground into powder with his sword qi, raised his eyebrows and said to the little boy: "Do you want to learn?
The reason why I am willing to talk so much to the little boy is that I am really bored, and secondly, because the other party has good talents, and at least he is among the best in this world. If the future is smooth, at least it will be able to enter the realm of good luck. Although it is not very high, in the eastern part of this Dayan, it can already sit on a place. This is not to say that Zhuge Chen is a good teacher, but because he feels that he has a lot of fate with this little boy. Therefore, he pushed the boat down the river and gave the other party a blessing.
The little boy was a little moved, and asked, "Could it be that you are the legendary immortal?"
Zhuge Chen nodded lightly and said, "So to speak." ”
Although he has seen Zhuge Chen's methods, the little boy still doesn't believe that this young man who likes to lie on the roof of other people's houses during the day will be those immortals who are not stained with red dust.
"My parents are away from home and don't necessarily come back once a year, so I'm staying with my grandfather now. Now my grandfather should be in the east of the city, and he will come back to cook for me in the evening. In the end, the little boy could not resist the temptation to become an immortal, and said, "I have said everything that needs to be said, now you should tell me how to become an immortal, right?"
Zhuge Chen nodded slightly, got up from the chair and walked to the little boy's side. The old dog protector at his feet pounced on Zhuge Chen's legs, and was pushed away by him lightly, and then Bai Yi stretched out a finger and pointed at the little boy's eyebrows and said: "Although the talent is good, the root bone is extremely poor, it seems that the previous judgment was wrong, and it is already very good to be able to safely enter the realm of Tianlei." As for good fortune, it still depends on your own creation. ”
"What do you mean?" the little boy asked, looking up.
"You don't need to know. Zhuge Chen slapped the other party on the back of the head: "Since the root bone is not good, then don't take the road of strength-based, if the boxer swordsman and sword cultivator can't do it...... Forget it, I'll teach you how to cultivate your own qi to build your own cultivation path, and then you will still rely on yourself to realize what will happen in the future!"
Saying this, Zhuge Chen taught a mantra to the little boy. The mantra is actually a Taoist decision, although it is not passed down by the kendo people, and it has nothing to do with the Taoist secret method used by the Taoist robe boy to buy and sell in the past, but for a boy who grew up in a small town, it is extremely precious. Even if he is the master of the Qiu Mountain Taoist Temple, the realm of the Dao, if he wants to obtain this secret method, he has to teach it through his master Dao robe boy himself. If you want to realize it on your own, it's a fantasy at all, and you really think you're a saint?
"In the future, you can just rely on this secret method to concentrate on cultivation, I have other things to do, and I won't stay in Jicheng for a few days. There may be a time to come back in the future, but it will be very short-lived. Even if you are a registered disciple of mine, remember one thing, don't be so fierce and refuse to take half a step back, this is also to meet me, if you are another cultivator like you, I am afraid that you will be dead. Zhuge Chen opened his mouth and said: "To be honest, I don't expect much from you. It would be nice to be able to reach the realm of good luck and spend your whole life. I'll leave you with a sword aura that can slash good luck, but it can only protect you once. After that, whether I live or die is none of my business. ”
The little boy didn't understand what Zhuge Chen said, but he still nodded, he thought about it for a long time, and decided to call him a master: "Master, what is your name?"
"Zhuge Chen. Bai Yi said slowly: "But don't meet anyone who says that you are my disciple in the future, the master has a lot of enemies, and it is easy to provoke yourself to be killed." ”
The little boy didn't understand what these three words meant, but it was because Jicheng was too remote, and the news of Dayan couldn't reach here at all. He never imagined that when he walked out of Jicheng and ventured into the rivers and lakes, he would hear a lot about the glorious deeds of his master. It's just that at that time, the white clothes had already left the world, entered the bamboo basket to draw water, and returned to heaven. The master and apprentice never saw each other after that, until the little boy was already dying of old age and became the old sect master of the dominant sect in the southern part of Dayan, that they saw Bai Yi again. It's just that most of the little boy's body at that time has been buried in the loess, and time is running out. And Zhuge Chen, who was still dressed in white and had a sword at his waist, was still heroic, just like when he first saw him.
The little boy, who was already admired by everyone, looked at his master and asked softly, "How is the master's realm now?"
Bai Yi smiled and said, "It's higher than the sky." ”
"The master really lives up to his name. With that, the little boy closed his eyes. His past appeared in front of him like a marquee, but at the end, the most impressive thing was that when he was young, he held a bamboo pole and hit the body of the white cloth.
He sighed and said, "I never thought that when I was young and ignorant, I would actually fight with my master. ”
The time limit has come, and his body is dead, but there is a smile on the corner of his mouth. But I made a wish and walked peacefully.
......
The two of them sat in the courtyard all afternoon, and waited until the evening, when the white clothes were about to leave, and the little boy's grandfather finally returned home. At the insistence of the two of them, he could only stay here for a meal. He waited until dawn the next day before he was ready to leave.
Last night, the little boy stayed awake all night, and had been concentrating on cultivating the Dao Decision, but now he only felt that his body was as light as a swallow, and his whole body seemed to have inexhaustible strength. Seeing his grandson is so happy, and so is being a grandfather. The doubts in his heart were dispelled, and he had always thought that he had met a liar in the rivers and lakes.
Zhuge Chen and his grandson were walking on the street, and the white clothes and the little boy said: "Just send it here, think twice about the future." I can't help you much, after all, the step by step climb on the path of cultivation still depends on yourself in the end. ”
The little boy nodded firmly, in high spirits. And his grandfather is also overjoyed, his grandson, maybe he will really become a dragon and phoenix among people because of this chance meeting.
The white clothes did not stay any longer, and gradually moved away. Even the little boy didn't notice that Zhuge Chen had put something like a grain of sand on his body before leaving, a mustard seed at that time, which contained a lot of money and life-sustaining medicine.
Back at the camp, Zhuge Chen was reprimanded a lot, but he didn't take it seriously and went straight to Wang Daxue's side. There has been a lot of gossip these days, and it can be summed up as a satire that he is tending to be inflammatory, and he has climbed into a proud son of the sky who is in the Wang family, and he has begun to unscrupulously bad rules. One day there will be retribution, and it is not necessarily at whose hands it will die.
Zhuge Chen turned a deaf ear to this, some gossip, as long as the heart is not chaotic, it is like a blunt knife, and if it is not used well, it is easy to hurt the person who speaks.
On the way, a young man in armor walked up, the two passed by, and Zhuge Chen heard the other party say: "I thought that the white clothes in everyone's mouth were the pride of the sky, I never thought that I happened to bump into how it was so unbearable today? I don't know that when we counted the number of people last night, you were the only one left? In the army, this is the crime of killing the head!"
Zhuge Chen smiled slightly and ignored it. He knew in his heart that these people were just envious of their luck, obviously a waste, and they went to meet the next head of the Wang family by chance. Such a gap is tantamount to a blow to people whose minds are already dark. If they knew their true identity, they would never have such thoughts, and they might even say that the friendship between the two was like a match made in heaven.
The young man in armor looked at him coldly, and then said: "Keep everything I said in my heart, otherwise I don't even know how I died." ”
Zhuge Chen stood still, turned his head and said, "Then do you know how that Zhao Da died?"
