Chapter 17: The Shepherd
Shu is mountainous, even in the vast plain area, not much distance, there will be several mountain bags.
Yu Dao sat cross-legged on top of a mountain bag at this time.
The time is midnight and the middle of the month. The surroundings were gloomy and cold, and the long grass fluttered, as if with frost.
The old donkey was tied to a distance, and he was grazing with his ears shaking.
Yu Dao sat upright, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which was immersed in a state of cultivation, and his demeanor naturally became serene. He opened his face slightly, and the moonlight seemed to bring him a silver-white mask, reflecting him like a god.
It has been more than a month since he escaped from Jinguan City and regained his freedom. These days, one of Yu Dao's only two tasks is to polish and carry mana.
Yu Dao's eyelids trembled suddenly, he breathed, opened his mouth slightly, and a white gas slowly spit out from his mouth until he was two or three feet in front of him.
It's late autumn, but the temperature hasn't dropped to the point of fog.
This breath of white gas was spit out, with moonlight, like a tassel. When the wind blows, the white gas condenses but does not disperse, which is really extraordinary.
If there are others here, they will definitely shout magic when they see this scene, thinking that this Taoist priest is swallowing moonlight.
However, Yu Dao knew that he didn't have the ability to do this yet. After exhaling a breath of white air, he finally opened his eyes and looked at the empty environment around him.
"Finally restored to twelve threads of mana. ”
Yu Dao originally had twelve threads of mana, each of which could support him to use his full strength to use a Yin Devouring Gourd, but after transferring to the "Taiyin Righteous Law", the mana in his body was directly reduced by three threads and turned into nine threads. After more than a month of painstaking cultivation, he cultivated three traces of mana, which restored him to his original realm.
However, this is not that his cultivation was lost when he transferred to the "Taiyin Rectification Law", but that his original mana was too weak compared to the mana cultivated in the "Taiyin Rectification", and it was not as pure and strong as the Taiyin mana.
Therefore, after the condensation and transformation of these twelve threads of mana, only nine threads remained. But with these nine threads, Yu Dao's strength not only did not decline, but improved.
Because every trace of Taiyin mana can be worth his original two traces of mana, supporting him to use all his strength to swallow the Yin Gourd twice.
"My current realm should be at the boundary between the pre-fetal and mid-fetal movements, and only after cultivating twenty-four threads of mana can I be considered to be in the realm of fetal movement. ”
"After consummation, you also need to punch thirty-six rays of mana into the acupoint and form a Zhou Tian cycle before you can advance to the acupoint. ”
"The road is difficult, and these three threads of mana have consumed me for more than a month, and I don't know when I will be able to cultivate another twenty-four threads of mana. Yu Dao sighed in his heart, but he was not depressed, he just sighed that he was too slow.
Yu Dao stood up and stood on top of the mountain bag, standing against the wind. The cold wind blew on him, causing his robe to flutter, and a dusty aura lingered all over his body.
After killing the black-faced Daoist, Yu Dao's biggest change was his mentality.
He no longer needs to pretend to be ignorant and faithful as before, everything is according to his heart and his thoughts are clear.
And the encounter in Jinguan City that day also made Yu Dao's desire to seek the Tao stronger than ever.
He doesn't want to be controlled by others anymore, he doesn't want to be forced by the situation anymore, he doesn't want to be teased by demons anymore, and he doesn't want to flee in a hurry...... He just wants to reach out and control his own destiny, and whoever asks him to bow his head, he will cut off his head.
Unfortunately, this wish is too difficult to achieve. The world is like a sea of suffering, who knows that the other side is home?
Therefore, Yu Dao is eager to cultivate into a primordial god, eager to attain immortality, eager to control the great power, and get a free place.
Yu Dao looked at the bright and pure white and eternal full moon in the night sky, opened his mouth slightly, and there were a thousand words in his heart, and he didn't know where to say it.
He suddenly said:
"The sword comes. ”
A long sword stuck in the earth trembled, more than a foot away from the rest of the road, and the weeds all over it.
Yu Dao stretched out his hand, and the sword weapon jumped out and flew directly into his hand.
Stretching out his hand, the sword body trembled, and a cold roar arose.
Yu Dao was stimulated by this, and his heart was stirred for a while, and he couldn't help but groan:
"Bai Yujing in the sky, five cities on the twelfth floor. ”
"The immortals caressed my top, and my hair was immortalized. ”
Yu Dao smiled, holding the long sword, and with a flick of his hand, there was a burst of cold light.
"In the past, Li Taibai was so trapped that he was not allowed to enter the immortal gate even if he died. Today, I have a great opportunity, how can I not go on the road to eternal life!"
The body of the sword was covered with blood mist, and the blood mist swirled around him, making him look strange and elegant.
The old donkey was standing ten feet away from grazing, and when he heard the howling of the rest of the road, he looked up, and then shook his ears, lowered his head and continued to graze.
......
The narrow official road can only accommodate a horse-drawn carriage, but it is wide when a single person walks on it.
Yu Dao was carrying a sword on his back at this time, straddled a donkey, and tied a gourd around his waist. His eyes were closed, and his body swayed to and from the old donkey's pace.
There are constantly pedestrians passing by, either in a hurry or in a hurry, but after seeing this young Taoist priest with crystal skin and elegant clothes, he can only stop and praise in his heart, what a dusty Taoist!
"Uh-huh!" suddenly called out to the donkey. Yu Dao heard the cry, so he opened his eyes and looked ahead.
It is already close to the county seat, and there is a small shop in front of it for people to rest and settle. With a gentle kick on the donkey, it took a stride towards the shop.
As soon as I arrived at the small shop, I found that although the shop was small, it was full of organs. There are not only tents for passers-by to beg for water and drink, but also wine shops for people to eat and rest.
As soon as Yu Dao got off the donkey, Xiao Er stepped forward quickly and took the reins for him briskly.
"Guest, please, and I'll lead the donkey to the back stable. ”
After handing over the old donkey, Yu Dao said lightly: "Salt water, soybeans, eggs, if any, add them together." ”
"Okay, I'll get it. Xiao Er heard it and returned happily.
Just as Yu Dao walked towards the wine shop, a person suddenly rushed out of the wine shop. He was a man with a felt hat and a leather jacket, dressed as a shepherd.
The man grabbed the shopkeeper and said, "You shopkeeper, remember that my animal should not be fed or fed. ”
When Xiao Er heard his words, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, guest officer, although our small shop is small, we also have some forage, and the price is cheap, even if you don't want it, we will also give you a little for those animals to beat their teeth and sacrifice." ”
When the shepherd heard Xiao Er's words, he shook his head, he glared at Xiao Er and said, "I said that you are a guy, and I told you not to feed it, but don't feed it." But if you don't listen, I'll let the treasurer teach you. ”
When Xiao Er heard this, the smile on his face stiffened a little, so he had to nod and say no more.
Yu Dao heard this conversation, paused slightly, and he looked up at the back of the store, and found a large number of cattle crowded in the stable.
There were five or six donkeys, seven or eight horses, and a dozen sheep. These animals are huddled together, their hooves gnawing and moving.
Xiao Er saw Yu Dao looking at the stable, and said, "Don't worry, the guest officer, your treasure donkey will have a place to rest." After saying that, Xiao Er led the donkey to the donkeys and tied them to the shed.
When the shepherd saw that Xiao Er should answer his words, he scolded, and swaggered towards the wine shop.
However, Yu Dao looked at the stable behind the store, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
