Chapter 3 Cloud Void Taoism
Xiao Ran sat on the gourd, flying away at a rapid speed in mid-air, with the smoke waves under his feet, and the scenery on both sides of the strait flew behind him.
As far as the eye can see, the lonely mountain is reflected in the water, sparkling and flowing, and occasionally a few water beasts jump out of the water, flutter and dive into the water. There is still a blue sky and white clouds floating on the water surface, undulating and undulating, and the wind blowing is accompanied by a faint fragrance of plants and flowers, and the heart is indescribably happy. Faintly, the beast jumped and climbed on the high cliffs on both sides, and only when it reached a high place did it raise its head and hiss, and saw Xiao then fly into the jungle, and there was no trace of him.
"What a pleasure!" Xiao Ran sat on the gourd, and flew low into the air, passing over the water, the waves hit his face, he simply put his hand into the water, the slightest coolness penetrated into his heart, he stirred the splash, and the neon overflowed in the sun.
The water was clear and cool, and he saw a faint dark shadow swimming rapidly under the water behind him, and the shadow was getting darker and darker, as if it was about to catch his eye.
Xiao Ran screamed, the gourd flew out of the high place, only to see a huge mouth under his feet tearing through the water surface, the water flow whirlpooled to the mouth of the water monster, many jumping flying fish fluttered between the currents, the water beast closed its mouth and sank, leaving a burst of mist, and the sound of rushing water.
"It's so thrilling!Hahaha! If you want to eat me, won't you? This big gourd will break your stomach!" Xiao Ran laughed and almost died in the belly of the fish. The strange scenery along the way, the birds and fish, opened his eyes, those winged fish, the birds with the horse's beak, the wild things that looked like horses and deer did not know what they were, all the time stimulated his curiosity.
The gourd flew over a hill, and a child who was collecting medicine cast a surprised gaze, and the child hurriedly put down the medicine basket, chased half the mountain, and shouted from afar: "Immortal! Immortal! I saw the immortal!"
Xiao Ran was full of spirit, as if he had the pride and ambition to point out the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, he suddenly remembered the ballad sung by the fairy Taoist, the rhyme was wonderful, and it was written about the love and hatred of the red edge.
He chanted out what he remembered, quite stylishly: "The fairy song, the sky is scarce, the flowers are falling and the water is flowing, how many years is it in a trance? Sheng Xiao's drunken resignation is a dream of a mirror flower, and it is difficult to wake up even if it is red?"
"Rolling red dust, infatuation, what kind of taste should it be?Otherwise, why can't even the fairy grandfather let go of that concern and attachment?" Xiao Ran was a little sad, and some teenagers were ignorant and expectant.
At this time, Xiao Ran saw an ethereal mountain in the distance, covered by clouds and mist, curling and soaring, like a fairy land.
"Could it be that this is Yunxu Mountain?" Xiao Ran muttered to himself.
The gourd flew towards this mountain, and Xiao Ran couldn't control it anymore, "Yes! This is Yunxu Mountain!"
Xiao Ran had already seen that halfway up the mountain in the depths of the clouds and mist, there were two words vaguely written: Yunxu! The word Yunxu was mentioned a few words on the side, I don't know what a master wrote, and there were also many traces of the stormy years: Yunxu Qiankun, immortals flying outside the immortals. The courage of these eight words alone is enough to explain the ability of those cultivators in Yunxu Mountain. Yunxu Taoist Temple should also be a place of immortals! Otherwise, Grandpa Immortal would not let him find it.
The gourd continued to fly, and after a while, I saw a magnificent Taoist pavilion from afar, with strange carvings on the eaves, full of charm. Xiao Ran only felt that the air in the mountains smelled very good, and his body and mind were transparent for a while, and he couldn't help but smell a few more times, and praised: "Smell a few more times, and I may live for a few more years! Whoever can live here will definitely live a long life!"
The gourd stopped at the gate of the Taoist temple, and the gourd essence flashed and became the original size, and fell into Xiao Ran's hand. Xiao Ran looked up and saw that it was the door plaque of the Taoist Temple: Yunxu Taoist Temple. I could smell the faint fragrance of burning, and my heart was a lot calmer for a while, and I was very comfortable.
There was a boy sweeping the floor at the door of the hall, and when he saw the treasure gourd in Xiao Ran's hand, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Little brother, I don't know what happened to visit?"
Xiao Ran looked at the boy who was only seven or eight years old, but he was old, and he was a little uncomfortable when he asked.
The boy smiled: "Don't look at my little face, I'm seven or eight years old!"
Seven or eight years old, isn't that fifty-six years old? Oh my God!
"I am a true cultivator, there is a technique of returning children, if there is no pure cultivation, then maintain the body of a child, you can prolong your life!"
Xiao Ran didn't know the etiquette in the rivers and lakes, so he bowed to the boy and said respectfully: "Immortals." Belch. Uncle Immortal, I am an apprentice of Dao Tianshu, and I want to meet the Yunxu Dao people. ”
"If you invite you in, I won't stop you!" said the boy.
Xiao Ran felt so strange, didn't he always want to report it? It didn't feel polite to go in like this? Since the doorman had said so, he thought about it and entered the door. It's strange to say, the exit is right in front of you, you can't get to the entrance no matter how you walk, and you walk and go back to the same place, and the entrance is still in front of you!
At this time, a female disciple of the Taoist temple saw the doorman laughing, and walked up with a fierce face and knocked on the doorman's head.
The doorman babbled, "Who hit me!" The doorman turned his face angrily, and saw the female disciple standing in front of him with his waist crossed, his face suddenly changed, and he said embarrassedly: "Senior sister!"
"What's the matter with this man, why are you teasing him?" the female disciple continued, "If the master knows about it, he won't punish you?"
The doorman bowed his head again and again: "It's this young man who said that he wanted to see his master, and said that he was the apprentice of the Immortal Dao Humane Tianshu." ”
"Immortal Dao people!" The female disciple's eyes showed a sincere reverence and fanaticism, and she slowly wilted again, "It's been fifteen years, and I have never heard of the news of the Immortal Dao people!
"Yes, I think so too! Senior Sister Yun Yao, you see, he can't even break such a sesame seed barrier, it can be seen that there is no cultivation at all! But look at the treasure gourd in his hand, it is indeed a rare treasure, is it really the treasure gourd of the immortal Daoist? So I will give him a try!"
Yun Yao waved her sleeves and broke the barrier, Xiao Ran suddenly saw the doorman and the beautiful woman beside the doorman, and came over and asked, "Why can't I enter this door?"
Yun Yao walked up to Xiao Ran and said, "This is a trick! Let me ask you, what is your name?"
Xiao Ran said: "My name is Xiao Ran, I am the apprentice of Dao Tianshu, I want to find a Yunxu Dao person!"
"Immortal Daoist apprentice, you dare to fool me?" Yun Yao was a little angry and held her sword in front of her.
"No, no, no, what I said is true! I didn't fool you, this is Grandpa Immortal's treasure gourd, it sent me! Grandpa Immortal said to show this treasure gourd to the Yunxu Dao people, and he will understand! Then go to Yaowang Mountain. ”
Yun Yao saw that this young man was simple and simple, and he didn't look like he could deceive people and entertain people, besides, there were obstacles at the entrance of Yunxu Mountain, and people who were not from this sect couldn't enter at all, so how did he get in?
Could it be that he is really the apprentice of the Immortal Daoist Dao Tianshu? It was the Immortal Daoist's treasure gourd that led him to the way? However, he did not have the slightest cultivation, if not like this, how could he get in? If it was, how could he not have a trace of cultivation? Strange!
Yun Yao said to the doorman, "I need to ask for instructions!"
"No need!" a voice came from inside the door.
As he spoke, the treasure gourd suddenly flew away from Xiao Ran's hand and landed in the hands of a crane-haired and childish-looking Taoist priest who came out of the inner door. The old Taoist priest held the dust whisk in his hand, and waved the dust and said, "I have heard it all! This is indeed the treasure gourd of the benefactor!"
The old Taoist priest was followed by a young man, the same age as Yun Yao. The doorman and Yun Yao greeted, "Master, Senior Brother!"
Dustless Taoist said: "I think back then, my cultivation was difficult to break through, and I forcibly broke through the fire and fell into the devil, but fortunately, I was rescued by the Immortal Daoist Tianshu, picked up a life, and helped me successfully enter the Yuqing Realm, this situation, I will never forget it for the rest of my life!"
The Dustless Daoist walked up to Xiao Ran, returned the treasure gourd to him, and said earnestly: "I have already detected the Immortal Dao Divine Consciousness in the Treasure Gourd, and the Immortal Dao Divine Consciousness has told me everything. The Ah Bi Dao that was cast seemed to be a little unusual, the immortal Dao people sat on the soul body, used the original yuan to maintain the soul body, and for a while, the cultivation was about to be reduced by half, and he was afraid that the demons and gangsters would take the opportunity to calculate! His Rainbow Heavenly Sword and Rainbow Sword Song Sword Spectrum are the things of the Flying Immortal Sect, and they are spied upon by the people of the world, and they must not be sloppy!"
Wuchen Lao Dao continued: "Yun Yao and Ziqin obey orders!"
The young man and Yun Yao beside Wuchen Lao Dao hurriedly knelt down and said, "Respectfully ask for the master's order!"
"For the teacher, you have important things to deal with, and you need to go down the mountain! Your cultivation is the highest, so I will send the two of you to protect Xiao Ran's little brother and go to Yaowang Mountain together. But you have never left Yunxu, that Yaowang Mountain is thousands of miles away, located in the depths of 100,000 mountains, it is a land of poor mountains and bad waters, and the area of Yunmengze is even more divided by the Miao people and the evil cults, this trip is killing every step, be careful!"
"Yes!"
"Yun Yao, you are too nonsense on weekdays, you have to listen to Senior Brother Ziqin's advice more, and don't act righteously!"
Yun Yao couldn't get angry, snorted, and said with a grin: "What kind of nonsense am I messing around?
"Huh?" The dustless Taoist glanced at Yun Yao, and she wilted, not daring to say anything more.
"Ziqin!" the dustless Taoist priest called out to him again.
"Ziqin is here!"
"You are new to the rivers and lakes, people's hearts are sinister, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. Yun Yao, you have to learn more from Senior Brother Ziqin, and put more thought into it!"
"Yes, master!" Ziqin said.
Yun Yao was also a little resentful, feeling that the master was talking about her badness, and she was clearly partial. Yun Yao secretly made a grimace at Ziqin, and he was angry and secretly scolded Yun Yao: "You have a lot of eyes, and many of them are like a hornet's nest!"
"Hey!" The Dustless Daoist also had no choice but to take Yun Yao, and once again cautiously instructed: "In the land of southern Xinjiang, there are many Gu poison techniques, poisons and poisonous weeds grow everywhere, and be careful! Okay, let's go! Don't delay on the road, go early and return early! This is a self-defense thing, and you can't use it until you die!"
Saying that, the Dustless Daoist threw a mysterious thing to Ziqin. The thing was wrapped in a black cloth and couldn't see the inside, Yun Yao was very curious, and wanted to open the package to take a look, but the quilt Ziqin patted the back of his hand.
Yun Yao hated and said: "What's the big deal, if you don't look at it, you won't watch it!"
Xiao Ran looked at this lively brother and sister, and felt a lot closer, and they regarded Xiao Ran as a friend, and they didn't feel any difference at all. In this way, they embarked on the road to southern Xinjiang.
