Liang Shenglou looked up when he heard this, his eyes gradually became clearer, but he immediately looked up and down his whole body frantically, and then froze on the spot, and only said in a hoarse voice after a while: "It seems that Dao Chief, you are a land immortal with true mana, and the old man still thinks that you are a reclusive senior." ”

Shi Xuan said indifferently: "Poor Dao is far from being called an immortal, but there are some micro Dao methods, Mr. Liang should please answer Poor Dao's question first." ”

"If the Taoist chief agrees to help in the next favor, he is willing to know everything and say everything. Liang Shenglou thought for a moment and looked at Shi Xuan with burning eyes.

"Ha, Mr. Liang, do you think you have the qualifications to bargain, Poor Dao is just troublesome and unwilling to use spells. Shi Xuan said with a smile.

Liang Shenglou craned his neck slightly, and said stubbornly: "Then ask the Taoist to do it." ”

Shi Xuan shook his head, took a good step, recited a mantra, and then pointed at Liang Shenglou from afar, and two ghostly lights shot out of his eyes, which happened to fall on his head. Liang Shenglou's eyes began to be in a trance, and then he lost his senses, and looked at Shi Xuan sluggishly, this [***] technique has an extra good effect on this kind of soul that is not protected by **.

Shi Xuan slowly asked, "Tell me, did you gain anything else when you got the Immortal Treasure Book?"

Liang Shenglou replied word by word: "There is also a letter left by the Guangyang Sanren. ”

"What is written in the letter?"

The letter said that the "Treasure Book of Eternal Life" is difficult to get started, and later people must practice the following diagrams well, which is the true value of the "Treasure Book". Then he mentioned that he felt that the opportunity to break through the physical barrier and break the void was coming, so he would find a secluded place to break through, and he would not return to the world no matter whether he succeeded or not, so he left the "Book of Eternal Life" and did not want it to be lost. In the end, he left a verse: 'Thirty years of courage and diligence, go to Lingtai to find Guanshan.' ’”

Shi Xuan asked several more times, and only stopped when he saw that there was nothing missing, it seemed that Guangyang Sanren basically didn't know anything about what happened after the ascension. However, Shi Xuan was not too disappointed, after all, he had a complete plan, and it was an unexpected surprise for Guangyang Sanren to get the news here, and it was normal if he didn't get it.

Liang Shenglou slowly came to his senses after Shi Xuan withdrew the spell, and saw Shi Xuan standing calmly in front of him, remembering the dizziness just now, and said in a trembling voice, "What Dao method did you use on me?"

"Hehe, it's just a small [***] technique. ”

"Good, good, good. Liang Shenglou lost his soul and said as if he was mourning.

Shi Xuan silently recited the incantation, waved his hand to disperse the black smoke, and said to Liang Shenglou: "Okay, since I already know what I want to know, Mr. Liang, please take care of yourself." I'll take my leave. ”

Liang Shenglou rushed over, then knelt on the ground, kowtowing his head violently, this was not too substantial for the soul, it was more of an attitude, he said in a hoarse voice: "Please Dao Chang avenge the villain!

Shi Xuan looked at him and said, "I'm entangled in everything, and I still have to practice, I don't dare to agree to your business." ”

Liang Shenglou continued to kowtow and beg for help, but Shi Xuandu resolutely refused.

Seeing that Shi Xuan's heart was like iron stone, Liang Shenglou shouted loudly: "Didn't you say that you cultivators are kind to others and do the right thing for heaven?

Shi Xuan sneered: "No one stipulates that I must help you, I will help you do good, it is my duty not to help, I have a clear conscience, I don't need to scare me with heavenly punishment, do you want to take revenge or find that glimmer of heaven by yourself, and leave here!"

"Dao Chang......" Seeing Shi Xuan drift away, Liang Shenglou's soul called a few times in the dark and damp corner before he muttered to himself in a gloomy and damp corner: "Why? Why ......?"

After Shi Xuan left the mountains and forests, he galloped away on the official road, what happened after Liang Shenglou depends on the will of heaven, if he can find the place of yin qi in time, and has a strong obsession, he may not have a chance to take revenge in the future, if he is unlucky, it will dissipate, it is also his own business. In short, no matter what, the future has nothing to do with Shi Xuan.

At noon in early August, it was scorching and cloudless. Although Chuzhou City is the state capital, as a famous hot place on the edge of the river, there are few pedestrians on the official road at this time, and they all have the appearance of weakness, and it has long ceased to be crowded and crowded in the early morning and evening, and the scene of busy traffic has long been gone.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city had already put on their hats, and then shrank to the shadow of the city gate as much as possible, and cursed secretly in their hearts: The captain raised by the son of a bitch, didn't he win a few handfuls of money, so he arranged for Lao Tzu to guard the city gate at noon, not to mention any oil and water, I am afraid that I will have to pay a soup and medicine, and Lao Tzu is about to roast to death!

At this time, he saw from a distance that the people were coming up the official road, which looked blurry under the light, and when he got closer, he found that it was a young man in disguise, with an ordinary face and a calm demeanor, with an extraordinary demeanor. The officers and soldiers guarding the city originally planned to go up and knock on a hard sum of money, at least today's herbal tea money had to be returned, but seeing that this young man was extraordinary, he hesitated, after all, guarding the city gate needs to deal with so many people every day, and those who lack eyesight offend people who should not be offended, and the end is extremely miserable, and the rest are naturally the people who are the best choice in ordinary people's homes with eyesight.

After hesitating for a long time, the officers and soldiers guarding the city came to the front, although it was not certain that they were a person of extraordinary origin, but they were careful and made no big mistake, and they were busy greeting each other diligently, and only collected the entrance fee of two copper plates and let the Taoist into the city.

Shi Xuan entered the city of Chuzhou, and saw that the streets were wide, the roads were smooth, there were wine shops, inns, and various shops on both sides, and there were many plane trees planted on the roadside, forming a shade to escape the summer. Although the weather is hot and there are not many pedestrians on the road, in Shi Xuan's opinion, only Yangzhou Mansion is better than it in all the cities he has walked through, and the rest are much worse. Of course, the major cities in previous lives are not compared.

After leaving from the broken temple, Shi Xuan stopped and stopped, and later took a boat upstream, and it took nearly two months to reach the edge of Chuzhou.

After getting off the boat in Hanshui City, Shi Xuan took more than ten days to walk to Chuzhou City, mainly to visit a famous Taoist temple in the middle of the two cities, but unfortunately they were all deceitful and famous, so they could only play a little trick.

Now that he arrived in Chuzhou City, Shi Xuan planned to rest for a few days and adjust his body and mind to the best before setting off for Tongxuan Mountain, fifty miles northwest of the city.

Take a look around, Shi Xuan chose a "Yunlai Inn", because the environment is quiet and there is a single courtyard to rent, it is really an excellent choice for a person like Shi Xuan who is a cultivator.

"Guest officer, please come with me, there is Tianzi No. 1 room in front. "The inn's junior leader leads the way in front, short and thin but smart.

Shi Xuan nodded, laughing a little in his heart, he didn't expect that I would also have the opportunity to live in the No. 1 room of Tianzi. After entering the backyard of the inn, I came to a secluded small courtyard with a plaque reading "Lotus Garden". Xiao Er pointed to the courtyard and said: "Guest officer, this is our Tianzi No. 1 room, there is no other yard around, it is quite quiet, and there is a pond in the yard, planted with lotus flowers, and there is a burst of fragrance every summer." ”

While speaking, Shi Xuan and Xiao Er had already entered the courtyard, and sure enough, there was a medium pond on the left side of the courtyard, lotus flowers bloomed all over the water, on this day, the heat was scorching, people lacked cicadas, and the other plants around were lazy and listless.

After Shi Xuan sent away the shopkeeper, he returned to the courtyard, under the big tree, smelling the fragrance of lotus flowers, and closing his eyes to recuperate.

In the next few days, during the day, Shi Xuan shuttled through the city of Chuzhou, on the one hand, to collect news for the trip to Tongxuan Mountain a few days later, and on the other hand, to taste various delicacies in Chuzhou City, such as river fish, steamed crab, etc. In the evening, Shi Xuan practiced boxing first, and then visualized the soul, breathing and qi, and did not fall behind in his cultivation at all.

In the evening, Shi Xuan slowly paced back to the inn while reminiscing about the fresh and delicious green onions of the big river fish. As soon as he crossed the threshold and entered the lobby, he heard hurried footsteps behind him, and soon a thin scholar bypassed Shi Xuan and walked towards the counter.

The thin scholar hurriedly stopped and replied, "This benevolent brother is good, he lives in the next store, and he lives in the shop." "Although the scholar is thin, he is not short, about seven feet, only a little worse than Shi Xuan, although his face is pale, he is still quite handsome, but his eyes are a little dull.

When the shopkeeper heard that he lived in Tongpu, some contempt suddenly appeared on his face, but after all, there were people coming and going in the lobby, and it was impossible to show the scholar's face, so he still said kindly: "Then may I ask the guest officer's surname, and where is the guide?"

The scholar didn't see the contempt of the shopkeeper, and replied happily: "Under the surname Ding, the name Mingde, the table word... Table... I haven't gone to school yet, I'm not yet twenty, and I'm still ... Not yet. Speaking of which, he looked a little ashamed later, and at the same time took out the road from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the road guide: "The guest officer will wait a while, I will show the road to the shopkeeper, and I will come and lead you to the shop." ”

Ding Mingde nodded gratefully, and then stood on the side and waited quietly, because the shopkeeper had to fill in his name, place of origin, etc. in the account book according to the road guide for future audit or government check, which took a long time, and Ding Mingde seemed to be very familiar with this process, so while waiting, he took out an oiled paper bag from his arms and opened it to reveal a cold steamed bun.

Ding Mingde looked at the steamed buns with a hungry face, and said to himself in embarrassment: "Only this last one, I have to go to Tongxuan Mountain tomorrow, do you want to eat tonight, or don't you eat it?"

Shi Xuan was about to walk through the lobby into the backyard, when he suddenly heard the scholar mention Tongxuan Mountain, so he walked back a few steps and let a man wearing a hat stand not far from this scholar, intending to hear what this scholar has to do with Tongxuan Mountain.
