Chapter XXXVIII

It is difficult to give up the autumn breeze in summer, and the excitement is endless.

The autumn wind always carries a hint of chill, but compared to the heat of summer, it is a suitable day for travel. Looking at the trees on both sides of the mountain road, the leaves began to turn yellow, and the birds in the north began to consciously look south.

Today, it is the seventh day since leaving Zhongnan Mountain, and compared to the previous days, the figures and footsteps of Guanyue and Mei Wan are much brisker, at least they can throw away their crutches and walk slowly on their own.

The group walked slowly on the mountain road, not at all in a hurry, Chu Xunyu walked in the front, with the sound of jingling bells, and between his expressions, maybe because he was going home, he was unintentionally much more relaxed.

Followed by Shang Qian and Mu Yuan, Shang Qian looked at Mu Yuan with a smile and said, "Senior Brother Bajie, when you go back to Jiangnan, are you going to have a big meal again?"

"En, en?" Mu Yuan was taken aback and asked in surprise: "How do you know this title?" Could it be ......" With a suspicious gaze, he looked at Chu Xunyu in front of him.

"Haha, Senior Brother Chu told me, it turns out that your name was Bajie before. ”

“......”

The muscles at the corners of Mu Yuan's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "This was all many years ago, don't say it......"

"Just say, just say it. ”

Shang Qian and Mu Yuan just played and laughed all the way, very happily together. After this trip, I don't feel lonely. Just listening to the nonsense of the two, Elder Wangchen was still smiling, dressed in white, and walked at the end, at this time, Guanyue beside him raised his hand and said, "If you don't want to rest, it's been a long time." ”

Chu Xunyu looked up at the sky and said, "Okay, the two of you haven't recovered yet, so let's take a rest." ”

Everyone was in the woods on the side of the road, sitting on the ground casually, Mei Wan looked around, then discussed with Guanyue, decided to get some water, then turned to leave, and waited for the two to go away, at this time, Shang Qian suddenly asked: "It's been a few days, are we out of Shaanxi?"

"Well, it's almost out. Wangchen nodded.

"So how do we go next?"

Chu Xunyu thought about it for a while, looked at the south, and replied: "Let's go to Taiyuan, pass through Changzhi, pass through Jincheng, and then enter Luoyang, and go all the way south." ”

"Sure enough, Luoyang, you must go to my house when the time comes. Shang Qian happily continued: "I'll let my family see, the first time I went to the rivers and lakes, I brought back several well-known figures, including the elders of Tianji Pavilion, the Central Plains Bajun, and the daughter of the leader of the Demon Gate. ”

"Huh? Wangchen suddenly said with a look of enlightenment: "This sect of the Legalist family seems to be in Luoyang." ”

"Haha, Luoyang is the famous land of the Three Jin Dynasty, there must be a lot of delicious food. Mu Yuan's eyes had already lit up.

Shang Qian glanced at him, looked back at Chu Xunyu, and asked, "Are we going to enter Luoyang?" ”

"Well, yes, if you go south, you must pass through Luoyang. Chu Xunyu smiled and nodded.

Wangchen looked at Chu Xunyu and thought for a while, then asked, "This time when I go back to Jiangnan, in addition to attending the wedding, does Chu Xiaoyou have any other plans?"

"Yes, I am also going to go to Suzhou and weave in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"Why do you want to go to Jiangnan Weaving?"

Chu Xunyu waved his long sleeves, and the spell in his sleeve was cast, presenting the dilapidated loom harvested in the dungeon in front of everyone's eyes.

"......What is this?" Shang Qian stretched out a hand curiously, wanting to go up and touch it, but Chu Xunyu grabbed her, shook her head, looked at Wangchen again, and asked, "Senior, can you see any clues?"

Wangchen put away his smile, closed his eyes, felt it carefully, and finally said with a regretful face: "Although there are aura fluctuations, but it has been a long time and is damaged, it can only be said to be a magic weapon, if you want to say the specifics, it is unknown." ”

Chu Xunyu nodded, pointed to the two small words under the machine: "Weaving Shaft", and responded: "It seems that the classics in my family have been recorded, but I was too young at the time and didn't remember much, so I didn't dare to be sure of anything, but the word 'Weaving Shaft' can't be wrong. ”

"Jiangnan weaving, what is Jiangnan weaving?" Shang Qian asked curiously, for her, many things on the rivers and lakes are new things, and she is quite interested.

"Jiangnan Weaving is a weaving bureau specializing in textile fabrics as the main purpose. Mu Yuan sat on the stone, leaned against the tree, and said seemingly pretendedly: "This Jiangnan weaving is divided into two kinds: internal and external, the outer weaving is a system dedicated to providing royal fabrics for the palace, etc., and the inner weaving is an organization that compiles various cloth utensils for the cultivation world. ”

"Oh, that's it. So this loom is theirs?"

"It's not clear yet, everything needs to be verified," Chu Xunyu shook his head: "But what makes people feel strange is that this public loss is a masterpiece of a generation, how could this dilapidated loom be put in the dungeon, I think, this move must have a deep meaning." ”

After that, he put the machine back again, and then asked again: "Senior Wangchen, the materials in the dungeon are not wood or stone, which is quite weird, and the seniors are well-informed, can they recognize this kind of material?"

Wangchen laughed: "What's so difficult about that, that kind of material is called 'Immersion Sand', taken from the sand of the Dry Leaf Island outside the South China Sea, this sand seems to be ordinary, but if it is put together with the grieving person, it can absorb the grievance, and in the long run, it will condense into stone, which can block the divine consciousness, and if the person who cultivates the truth penetrates with the divine sense, he can be disturbed by the resentment on the stone, and his mind is full of illusory shadows." ”

"I see. ”

Chu Xunyu thought that in that dungeon, once he released his divine sense, his mind was full of complaints, and it seemed that this sand was strange.

After a while, I saw Mei Wan and Guanyue coming back with water and handing it to everyone. Mei Wan smiled apologetically, like a hundred flowers blooming in the forest, and said: "In the past few days, everyone's trip has been delayed, and my senior brother and I have many physical inconveniences, so we can't travel in the air, so we have to walk south, which is cumbersome." ”

"It's out of the way, I didn't plan to fly back with such fanfare. Chu Xunyu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind, "It's the injuries of the two of them, it's a lot better." ”

Guanyue also sat down at this time, took out the folding fan, regained a little of his former vigor, and replied: "Thanks to Brother Chu's holy hand of medical power, the meridians have recovered well in the past few days, and it is estimated that it will be cured in less than two days." ”

"Wherever the words are, the heart of the healer's parents, whether they are like-minded or not, must give a helping hand. Chu Xunyu replied lightly.

At this time, Mei Wan looked around and asked, "Where are we going?"

"It will arrive in Taiyuan in the near future. "Hope for the dust.

"In the past few days, there seems to be little calm in Shanxi, and I got news from the door that something happened in the rivers and lakes. Guanyue said indifferently and contacted the door, anyway, this is no longer a secret, everyone already knows that there are people in the Hongdao Gate in the dark.

"Oh?" Mu Yuan was a little interested.

"The news I received in the door just now is that someone from this Killing Dream Gate has been active in Shanxi recently, and his movements are a bit big. ”

"Oh? This is strange, there is a famous sect like Wutai Mountain in Shanxi, and at ordinary times, the Demon Gate will not touch it, so as not to cause trouble, why did the person who killed the Dream Gate suddenly appear, is there something wrong with the old man in the dream?" Wangchen also asked strangely.

"Hehe, this Dream Killing Gate itself is not very peaceful. Guanyue Xiaosheng's usual gloating expression was revealed, and he talked eloquently: "Not long ago, there was a rumor on the rivers and lakes, saying that it was the son of the current head of the Dream Gate, that is, the grandson of the old man in the dream, in the retreat of the mountain gate, he encountered a poisonous hand, it is said that it is very likely that he has fallen on the spot, and the body was found a year later, the old man is now angry, and some people say that he personally took command and came to the rivers and lakes to find the murderer. ”

"Huh? Did the senior monks of Wutai Mountain sit idly by? Do the Taoist friends of the Xuanzhen Temple also stand by and watch? The old man of the dream is a famous evil star, and when he was young, he was also famous in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Of course, according to the report of the disciples, the two masters of the 'Qingliang Five Monks' of Wutai Mountain and the Xuanzhen Temple have exchanged fire with the masters of the Killing Dream Gate not long ago, and in the end, it was the abbot of Wutai Mountain who came forward in person, and the scene was shocked at once, so it did not evolve into a vicious fight. ”

"So serious?" Chu Xunyu was also taken aback, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Guanyue: "Who did you just say was poisoned......?"

Guanyue smiled lightly and nodded to confirm Chu Xunyu's thoughts: "It is one of the eight juniors of the Central Plains back then, a fellow Taoist friend of 'Talking Dreams'. ”

"Alas...... Sure enough, who dares to provoke the people who kill the dream gate, talking about the ability of the dream Taoist to "turn into a dream", it is really a pity, it is really a jealous talent. Mu Yuan sighed rarely, and seemed to remember the past of the sword discussion in the Jade Void Palace on the top of Kunlun Mountain.

Chu Xunyu's mind at this time also appeared in his mind, a weak and sick figure, although he was a person in the Demon Gate, but his understanding of the dream realm was indeed talented.

Shaking his head, he shook off what he was thinking, going home was the primary goal at the moment, stood up, and said to everyone: "Let's go, it's almost time." ”

Everyone got up and patted the dust on their bodies and walked forward, at this time, Wangchen looked into the distance, and said with a happy face: "I remember that not far ahead, there is a place called Shuangxi Town, sixty years ago, I went down the mountain to have something to do, and I stayed there for one night, and tonight we just went to spend the night, and I stopped by to visit them." ”

Everyone also nodded, it seems that there is no need to sleep in the wild tonight, although the cultivators drink morning dew and eat the rising sun, regardless of the conditions, but it is still not good to really camp in the suburbs.

A few people in the group immediately quickened their pace, and after a short time, they rushed to Shuangxi Town that Wangchen said, and sure enough, it was the same as Wangchen said, the town with locust trees, and the town with stone dilapidated gates.

Wangchen and Mei Wan waved their hands, and simply transformed their bodies, as soon as they raised their feet and entered the town, they saw the flow of people in the south, and there were many villagers around them who were gathering and running away, Guanyue was very curious and grabbed a passer-by, and asked, "Fellow, why are you so panicked?"

The villagers who were dragged away said impatiently: "I heard that the wife of the rich man's family has an evil disease, so she asked someone to do something." Suddenly, when he looked up, he saw several people with faces, and said strangely, "You are not from our town, are you?" ”

"Oh no, we're foreign. ”

Mu Yuan grinned, pointed at Chu Xunyu and said: "Count you blessed, this is a famous Yunyou Langzhong in the rivers and lakes, it just so happens that we are passing by here, and any incurable diseases can be cured, and it is useless to ask those Taoist priests who pretend to be ghosts." ”

Chu Xunyu gave Mu Yuan a white eye, okay, the holy hand of the Medicine King's Mansion and the Doctor of the Kingdom that everyone admires on the rivers and lakes has become a barefoot man, if he lets his family know, he will not be angry and send himself back to the two poles.

The villager glanced at Chu Xunyu suspiciously, and shook his head: "Little brother don't want to laugh, at such an age, how can you cure a disease, the rich man Wang invited a lot of Langzhong from ten miles and eight townships, and he has never been cured, don't come to the door to find bad luck." ”

Chu Xunyu was a little angry, what words, can he be compared with this countryman, don't underestimate yourself, this tone still has to fight: "What is this fellow, who said that only the old man can cure diseases, I have also cured many incurable diseases along the way." ”

The fellow was helpless and said: "Okay, the biggest house in the south is it, I still advise you not to look for bad luck." With that, he hurried south to see the excitement.

Mu Yuan said with a smile: "Brother Chu, please kill the chicken with a knife." ”

Chu Xunyu looked at him strangely: "Bajie, you have made an old mistake again." ”

Mu Yuan's face flushed, and he said cheekily: "Brother Chu is worthy of being my bosom friend, I originally wanted to go for a trip, where is there any difficulty in this mortal world, and if you cure the rich man, you will inevitably have to set up a banquet to entertain us, we practice medicine to save people, this is what we deserve, we deserve." ”

This time, it was everyone who gave Mu Yuan a white eye......
