Text Chapter 20 The Dwarf Taoist

Xu Brahma saw that the crack in the wall jumped wider and wider, and it was actually a door, which Xu Brahma didn't expect at this time. As soon as the door opened, two Taoist priests wearing gray Taoist robes, wearing Taoist scarves on their heads, and a yin and yang diagram were drawn on their chests, holding long swords.

"You knocked on the door?" one of the Taoist priests asked, his eyes always falling on Xu Brahma.

Xu Brahma hurriedly saluted and said, "It's exactly below." ”

"What are you doing?" the Taoist priest said very politely.

Xu Brahma remained humble and said, "I have come to visit the Dwarf Daoist. ”

When the two Taoist priests heard that Xu Brahma was the master who came to visit them, they all frowned and looked displeased, and one of them said, "My master is in retreat and has no visitors. ”

Xu Brahma said: "That's really unfortunate, but I don't know when the dwarf Daoist will be able to go out to meet the guests?"

The two Taoist priests were expressionless and seemed to be hostile to the visitors, and one of them said disdainfully: "My master cultivates behind closed doors, there is no exact time, I advise you to go down the mountain, so as not to delay too much time." ”

Xu Brahma has always been sincere in his treatment of others, and he didn't expect that the two Taoist priests might deliberately prevaricate him, so he said: "That's really a pity, I originally came here under the guidance of the Mu Dao people, it seems that it is really a coincidence." ”

As soon as the two Taoist priests heard that Xu Brahma was guided by the Wood Dao people, their attitudes immediately changed ninety degrees, and one of them said, "You are guided by the Mu Dao people?"

Xu Brahma bowed his head and said, "Exactly, he also asked me to give a book to the dwarf Taoist. ”

A Taoist priest asked, "What book?"

Xu Brahma said: "Yungui Fangshu"

When the two Taoist priests heard that it was "Yungui Fangshu", they looked slightly surprised, and the two whispered and talked for a while, one of them said: "You wait first, I'll go to Master Ming first, and see if he is willing to see you?"

Xu Brahma nodded and said, "There are two Taoist masters." ”

The two Taoist priests turned to enter, and the door closed again, but as before, it looked like a tight and seamless brick wall. After a while, the two Taoist priests reopened the door and walked out, one of them said, "Master, please." ”

Xu Brahma thanked him.

Accompanied by two Taoist priests, Xu Brahma walked into the Taoist temple. I saw that the vegetation in the Taoist temple is dense, lush and lush, giving people a very quiet feeling, the foot is a path paved with bricks, and many exotic flowers are planted on both sides, and the fragrance is fragrant. The two Taoist priests took Xu Brahma up a few steps, and then turned into a pavilion, and after walking through the pavilion, it was a downhill slope, and after the downhill, they came to a house with the words Yangxin Pavilion, and one of the Taoist priests said, "Come with me." One stood at the door, and the other led Xu Brahma inside. Entering the Yangxin Pavilion, I saw a Taoist with a thin body, a face like a fragrant pear, and a gray Taoist robe sitting in front of him. I saw two Taoist priests with swords standing behind the dwarf Taoist, and there was a plaque hanging above their heads, with a line of words written on it, that is: "Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the law." ”

The Taoist priest who led the way said, "Master, the person has been brought." ”

The Taoist waved his hand, and the Taoist priest said yes and respectfully withdrew.

The small eyes of the Daoist and the two looked at Xu Brahma, but they did not speak. Suddenly, Xu Brahma said "ah" and said, "Why are you senior?" and he was very surprised. It turns out that there are not only dwarf Taoists sitting here, but also a young man and a woman sitting on the chair on the left, the woman is dressed in white, elegant and quiet, exuding a soft atmosphere. The man was the chivalrous man who asked the shopkeeper for the silver taels at the inn that day.

I saw that the man nodded at Xu Brahma with a smile and said, "We met again." ”

Xu Brahma smiled: "Yes." ”

The dwarf Taoist said to the knight, "So you know. ”

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just met once." ”

The dwarf Taoist nodded, pointed to the chair on one side and said, "Little brother, please sit down." ”

Xu Brahma saw that although the dwarf Taoist was full of majesty, he spoke very politely, and the trace of awe in his heart seemed to be diluted a lot. Xu Brahma saluted and thanked him, and then sat down opposite the male and female knights.

The dwarf Daoist said, "You are the apprentice of the Wood Daoist?"

Xu Brahma shook his head and said, "No." But in his heart he thought that he could not have such a blessing.

The dwarf asked again, "Friend?"

Xu Brahma still shook his head: "No." ”

The dwarf Daoist touched a pinch of goat whiskers on his chin and said, "Why did the Mudao people call you to come to me?"

Xu Brahma took out the "Yungui Fangshu" from his body, and then said, "Mu Daoye asked me to give this book to you. ”

The Taoist priest who was standing behind the dwarf Taoist walked down, took the "Yungui Fangshu", and then turned around and sent it to the dwarf Taoist. The dwarf Taoist took the "Yungui Fangshu", flipped through it casually, turned a few pages, looked up and said: "I used to borrow this book from him, but he refused to borrow it, saying that I was overly obsessed with alchemy, and this book was harmful to me, but now why is he willing to give it to me?"

Xu Brahma said: "Senior, I can't hide it, Mu Daoye wants to use this book to exchange the Ice Clear Jade Dew Pill with you. ”

Hearing this, the dwarf Daoist was stunned, straightened up and said, "This Jade Xuzi usually looks down on my alchemy, but now he wants to exchange the Ice Clear Jade Dew Pill with me, isn't it a big joke in the world." Little brother, is he in trouble?" said he stared at Xu Brahma with his two eyes, as if hoping to get an affirmation from Xu Brahma's mouth.

Xu Brahma shook his head and said, "Mu Daoye didn't encounter any trouble, but he couldn't eliminate the residual poison on my body, and said that the only one in the world who could cure my residual poison was the Bingqing Jade Dew Pill of his predecessors." ”

When the dwarf Taoist heard this, he laughed, and then said: "I didn't expect that Yuxuzi also had a helpless time, he always regarded himself as having a higher ability than me. Learning from that Li Er rode a ox to travel all over the world and preach everywhere, in essence, it was just idleness, leisure and hard work. ”

Xu Brahma saw that the dwarf Daoist ridiculed the Mudao man very ugly, and wanted to refute it for the Mudao man, but he was afraid of offending the dwarf Daoist, so he didn't dare to say more, so he could only endure it for the time being.

At this time, the male chivalrous man said: "Is the Jade Xuzi in the mouth of the Lingxu seniors your fellow senior brother?"

The dwarf Taoist bowed his head and said, "It's not him." ”

The man said: "As far as I know, Mudao people have no fixed residence, come and go without a trace, and there are very few people who see him. ”

The dwarf Taoist said: "My senior brother has always rarely asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, he does not want to be bound by worldly things, and he is happy to travel all over the world. ”

The male chivalrous guest said again: "Now that the green-robed ancestor has reappeared in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the rivers and lakes to be peaceful again." If the Mudao people can make a contribution, it will be of great benefit to the entire Central Plains martial arts. ”

The dwarf Taoist sighed and said: "My senior brother has indeed obtained all the true inheritance of my master, I am obsessed with pills, and I have never paid attention to self-cultivation and martial arts, which is also the reason why I am sincerely afraid after inheriting the head of the Great Banner Sect." ”

The man said: "In that case, why don't we invite the Mudao people to discuss this matter." ”

Dwarf said: "Don't say that it is not easy to find him, even if you find him, it is difficult to conclude whether he is willing to help, I think this matter is still to be stopped." Obviously, he had a grudge against Mu Dao, so he turned to Xu Brahma and asked, "What kind of poison did you have?"

Xu Brahma could tell from their words that they must have been discussing important matters before he came in. When the dwarf Taoist asked, Xu Brahma relieved himself and said, "The poisonous room in the younger generation is cold and broken. ”

The dwarf Taoist was stunned when he heard this, and said, "You will let me see the wounds." ”

Xu Brahma stepped forward and stretched out his injured palm in front of the dwarf Daoist, who grabbed Xu Brahma's hand, then leaned his nose over, sniffed, and said: "Sure enough, it is the strange poison of the Western Regions, the cold flame is broken, and the person who administers the poison is not from the Hu people of the Western Regions?"

Xu Brahma thought that the person who poisoned him was none other than Uncle Yan, who had watched him grow up since he was a child, although this person had no blood relationship with him, but he was the closest person to him except for his father and mother. He shook his head sadly and said, "It's not Huren. ”

Dwarf said: "It's not a Hu person, it must also have a lot to do with the Hu people." Generally, poisons invade people's internal organs, causing them to fail to death. The cold and heat break the tendons and scatter the human organs is not very harmful, but it can gradually corrode the major meridians in the human body, such as the lack of yin and yang, the old yin and the old yang, and finally the meridians are broken and die. ”

When the male knight heard this, he was also shocked, and then asked, "Is this poison from that sect in the Western Regions?"

The dwarf Taoist frowned and said, "Kunlun White Rakshasa ." Because the onset of this poison is slow, as long as you take the anti-poison pill regularly, there will be no abnormality on weekdays, and if you do not take the medicine regularly, the onset of the poison will be accelerated. Therefore, in order to control the Rakshasa cultists, the Rakshasa sect members let them take this poison, so that they did not dare to have two hearts. This kind of poison originally only appeared in the Western Regions, but now that it has flowed into the Central Plains, it seems that the Central Plains Martial Arts may not be at peace from now on. As he spoke, he grabbed Xu Brahma's wrist, took the pulse for him, and said: "Your pulse is strong and powerful, and your qi and blood are smooth, not like a poisoned person." With that, he let go of Xu Brahma's hand.

Xu Brahma said: "Don't hide it from my predecessors, in fact, before this, Mu Daoye had forced out most of the poison in my body, and only a few remaining poisons had not been cleared. Mu Daoye said that the Bingqing Jade Dew Pill of the predecessors can temporarily suppress this poison, especially the two flavors of Snow Lotus and Fire Fox Grass to overcome the cold inflammation in my body. ”

The dwarf Daoist's eyes were shining, and he sneered: "So he asked you to exchange the Yungui Fang Technique for my Bingqing Jade Dew Pill?"

Xu Brahma bowed his head and said, "Exactly." ”

The dwarf Taoist never left Xu Brahma and said, "Do you know that there are three things in my life that I don't borrow?"

Xu Brahma nodded and said, "Mu Daoye has already told me, it is the Clam Dragon Sword, the Longevity Pill, and the Bingqing Jade Dew Pill. ”

The dwarf touched the goat's beard and said, "Exactly." He exchanged the "Yungui Fangshu" for my Bingqing Jade Dew Pill, but it was just to do what he liked. ”

Xu Brahma nodded again and said, "The predecessor is really like a god, but Mu Daoye said so. "Xu Brahma is straightforward by nature, and never thinks about what should be said and what should not be said, and he has already annoyed the dwarf Taoist as soon as he said it.

I saw that the dwarf Taoist had his eyes wide open, and said angrily: "Yu Xuzi claims to be frank, and it turns out that he is also a scheming to me, do you think I can look down on this "Yungui Fangshu"? I want to exchange it for my Bingqing Jade Dew Pill, and do your Spring and Autumn dreams." Boy, take this book back and return it to him, if he wants the Ice Clear Jade Dew Pill to save you, let him come to me in person. ”

With that, he raised his hands, and the "Yungui Fangshu" was thrown away, only to see the book fly out of the moment, with a fierce wind, and suddenly cut into the stone pillar behind Xu Brahma.

Seeing this, the male knight couldn't help but cheer: "Good internal strength." ”

Xu Brahma saw that the dwarf Daoist suddenly became angry, and he didn't know what he said wrong, so he said in his heart: "Senior is angry, Mu Dao Ye just said that you have a strange temper, and you may not be willing to exchange for the Bingqing Jade Dew Pill." ”

The dwarf man suddenly stood up and scolded: "Fuck the fart, let the shit fart." I have a strange temper, and you are no better than Yuxuzi? Then there was a burst of scolding, Xu Brahma was a little scared at first, but when he saw that the dwarf Taoist scolded for a long time, he was like a shrew scolding the street, and he couldn't help but feel funny. The woman next to the male chivalrous guest couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker when she saw that the dwarf Taoist scolded her senior brother regardless of her identity as the head of the house.

After scolding for a while, the dwarf Taoist stopped, as if he was tired of scolding, and sat down again. He took a rough breath, and then said to Xu Brahma: "Okay, the book you brought, go back and tell Yuxuzi that I won't change the Bingqing Jade Dew Pill, doesn't he look down on me for indulging in pills? ”

Xu Brahma saw that the dwarf Daoist was scolding and blowing his beard, knowing that it was impossible to exchange for the Ice Clear Jade Dew Pill, so he said goodbye to the dwarf Daoist and the female chivalrous guest sitting on the side. turned around and pulled out the "Yungui Fangshu" that cut into the stone pillar, but found that the Yungui Fangshu was too deeply embedded and couldn't pull it out at all. Seeing that Xu Brahma couldn't pull out the book, the heroine thought that there was such a weak person, got up and walked over, pinched the book, moved her jade hand slightly, and pinched the book intact between her fingers, and then handed it to Xu Brahma. Xu Brahma took the "Yungui Fangshu", smelled a refreshing fragrance emanating from the female knight, and couldn't help but have a hot cheek, he didn't dare to look at the female knight more, for fear that the other party would blame him for being rude.

Xu Brahma was a little disappointed when he saw that the exchange for the Bingqing Jade Dew Pill could not be achieved, and he thought that maybe it was his fate, so he gave up his hand to say goodbye to the dwarf Taoist and the two knights. The dwarf Taoist seemed to be still angry, ignoring Xu Brahma and ignoring him. The two knights smiled slightly and returned the salute. Xu Brahma turned to leave, and just as he walked to the door, he saw a Taoist priest panting and running straight with a panicked expression. Xu Brahma hurriedly gave way to him, and the Taoist priest flashed past him, ran to the dwarf Taoist, and hurriedly said, "Master, it's not good, it's not good." ”

Seeing the Taoist priest coming in a panic, he shouted and shouted, and he was angry and scolded: "What are you panicking! What are you panicking about! Your master and I haven't ascended to the immortal yet?"

The Taoist priest swallowed his saliva, tried his best to stabilize his emotions, and said a little calmly: "Master, there are two strange people outside, one is wearing a red robe and the other is wearing a blue robe. As soon as they came in, they said that they wanted to look for you, we said that you were in retreat, and they didn't believe it, so they ran around, and we stopped them, and they fought with us, and their martial arts were very evil, and we fought them, but several of our brothers and sisters were injured by them. ”

When Xu Brahma heard it, he was red and blue, and then he thought that it was the two strange people he met on the road, not so much strange people as orcs, Xu Brahma couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the scene where they ate people's hearts and drank human blood.

At this time, the dwarf Taoist slapped his palm on the armrest of the chair, only to hear a click, and slapped the hard solid wood armrest with a missing corner. The dwarf Taoist shouted: "What a bold man, he actually bullied the Dao Daqimen." ”

The male knight immediately said: "Lingxu senior, these two people must be the apprentices of the green-robed ancestor. One is skinny, the other has sharp teeth. ”

The Taoist priest nodded yes.

The man said: "It seems that the green-robed ancestor has already begun to act. ”

The dwarf Taoist shouted: "It doesn't matter what kind of monster he is, since he is bullied and comes to the door, there is no reason to let them go." Where are they now?"

The Taoist priest said: "Qiankun Hall." ”

The dwarf man suddenly got up and shouted, "Let's go, we'll meet them." ”

A few people got up and walked out of the Heart Cultivation Pavilion, and before leaving, the dwarf Taoist said to Xu Brahma: "Go back and tell Yu Xuzi that if you want the Ice Clear Jade Dew Pill, let him come to me in person." With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

When Xu Brahma first arrived here, he knew the way out, and watched them walk away, and he could only follow them.
