Chapter 7 The Taoist Priest of the Orthodox Sect
Not long after the family member who came to report went out, he saw him walk in from the outside with several other family members, and sure enough, there was a Taoist priest behind them. Everyone in the room had already stretched their necks to look out at this moment, and since many of them had never seen what that Heavenly Master looked like, everyone's attention was immediately attracted by this Dao Master. I saw that the long man was wearing a scarf and a sky blue robe, his age looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, his face was handsome, and his facial features were as distinct as carvings. From a distance, this person is like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the color is like the flower of spring dawn, the sideburns are like a knife, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, the face is like peach petals, and the eyes are like autumn waves. This kind of beauty seems to completely transcend the distinction between men and women, beyond the worldly definition of beauty, and stunned all those who stared at him.
However, Yu Fei'er didn't care too much about the appearance of this little Taoist, but was attracted by a few things on this little Taoist. I saw that the little Taoist priest had a Qiankun bag hanging on the left side of his waist, and the words "Zheng" and "One" were written on the front and back of the bag with cinnabar, and on the right side of his waist was hung a purple gold cinnabar pen, and there was a peachwood sword behind him. Speaking of these three things, in fact, they are also common among the many magic weapons of Taoism, but the three things worn by the little Taoist priest in front of him do not look like ordinary things, especially the purple gold cinnabar pen hanging on his waist, even in this dimly lit room, it is still shining golden light from time to time, making people feel that this pen seems to contain infinite mana.
Yu Fei'er can conclude from the words "Zheng" and "Yi" on the Qiankun bag hanging from the left side of the Taoist priest's waist that this person is indeed from the Zhengyi Sect, but judging from this person's age, he is definitely not the patriarch of the Zhengyi Sect, Zhang Tianshi. Yu Fei'er couldn't help but say: "Judging by this person's age, it is definitely not the Heavenly Master himself. ”
When the prefect heard Yu Fei'er say this, he immediately came back to his senses, and asked those family members: "What a big boldness, did you really go to Longhu Mountain to invite that Heavenly Master to go down the mountain to eliminate demons? Or did you invite a singer to come back halfway to fool the official." ”
The frightened family members hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Don't be angry, where do the little ones dare to fool the adults, this little Taoist priest is indeed invited from Longhu Mountain, if the adults don't believe it, you can ask him carefully." ”
Seeing this, the young Taoist priest hurriedly explained: "My lord, there is no need to embarrass them, Xiaodao is indeed from Longhu Mountain, and his surname is Wen, his name is Yiyang, and he is a disciple of Zhang Tianshi of Zhengyi Sect. Just a few days ago, these family members sent by the prefect came to my Longhu Mountain, and wanted to ask my master Zhang Tianshi to go down the mountain to eliminate those monsters who were making trouble on the Xianxia Ridge. However, after learning of this, Shizun immediately ordered me to teach the deacon elder Yuxu Dao to send Xiaodao down the mountain to help the adults eliminate the demons on the Xianxia Ridge, so Xiaodao followed the family members sent by the adults down Longhu Mountain and rushed all the way to this Hangzhou City. ”
After listening to the words of this little Taoist priest of the Zhengyi Sect, the prefect asked again suspiciously: "The monsters on the Xianxia Ridge are all powerful and powerful, even if I send an army to the Son of Heaven to exterminate them, and even General Yang was seriously injured and has not woken up yet, how could Heavenly Master Zhang let the deacon elders of your sect send you alone?"
"Do you think that Longhu Mountain only sent me to come, and the number of people is too small? Or do you think Xiaodao is too young? If it is my master who came down alone this time, then will the adults still have such worries? The so-called people can't look good, and the sea can't fight, just those few little monsters on Xianxia Mountain, Xiaodao alone is enough to deal with. This little Taoist priest of the Zhengyi Sect named Wen Yiyang replied arrogantly.
The prefect listened to the compensatory and said: "Don't be angry, the official is also worried about the safety of the little chief, after all, the skills of those monsters are very powerful, but the words have come to this, and the official is relieved." Oh yes, there is also a little master from Putuo Mountain here, he wants to go to Xianxialing with the little master, and he can also help you if necessary, I don't know what the little master wants?"
As soon as Yu Fei'er heard that the prefect was introducing himself to Wen Yiyang, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Xiaodao Yu Fei'er is a disciple of Putuo Mountain Puci Daoist, and it is really a blessing to be able to meet the Taoist friends of the Zhengyi Sect of Longhu Mountain here today." ”
Wen Yiyang immediately replied and asked: "This Daoist brother is really a disciple of Putuo Mountain Puci Daoist?" My master Zhang Tianshi has mentioned your master to me many times, I think his old man must be very familiar with your master, and it can be regarded as a fate between us to meet Daoist brother here today, if Daoist brother is willing to go to Xianxia Ridge with Wen Yiyang, this trip will be a great success." ”
Yu Fei'er was a little embarrassed to see that Wen Yiyang valued herself so much, and immediately said truthfully to Wen Yiyang: "You and I are both fellow believers, let's not be so polite, Brother Yiyang just call me Yu Fei'er directly." Although he has been practicing spells with his master Puci Taoist in Putuo Mountain for more than ten years, he has never had the opportunity to use the techniques he has learned to subdue demons, and he doesn't know what kind of power the Taoist Five Elements Techniques he has learned? ”
Wen Yiyang just wanted to be more modest, but the prefect on the side hurriedly interjected: "Don't be humble with the two little road leaders, although they are young, they can both take defending the peace of the human world as their own responsibility, which really makes this official admire, I believe that the two of you will be able to succeed immediately and get rid of those monsters." ”
The white-bearded old man who was standing on the side said to himself after listening to the prefect's words: "What a success, I think these two stunned boys are going to die." ”
Fortunately, Wen Yiyang didn't hear what the white-bearded old Taoist said, otherwise he would have to reason with the white-bearded old Taoist. At this time, I saw Wen Yiyang pointing to General Yang on the sickbed in the room and said: "By the way, Lord Prefect, after learning that General Yang was injured, my master Zhang Tianshi specially instructed me to teach the deacon elder to let Xiaodao bring a life-sustaining golden pill that he personally refined down the mountain, hoping that this life-sustaining golden pill personally refined by my master can cure General Yang's injury." After speaking, Wen Yiyang took out a small porcelain bottle from the Qiankun bag on his waist, and then poured out a pill from the bottle and put it in the palm of his hand.
"Someone, quickly take the golden pill brought by this little road leader and give it to the general. Under the command of the prefect, a family member immediately stepped forward and took the golden pill in Wen Yiyang's hand and gave it to General Yang Wenguang. Although General Yang's complexion improved slightly after taking Jin Dan, the whole person was still unconscious.
Seeing that General Yang's condition did not improve significantly after taking the Jin Dan brought by Wen Yiyang, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and then they saw the white-bearded old man holding his long white beard and said unhurriedly: "This life-sustaining Jin Dan can only delay the onset of toxicity in the general's body, but it cannot completely eradicate the poison in his body." If you really want to completely eradicate the poison in the general's body, there is no other way than the method that Lao Dao said before. ”
As soon as Wen Yiyang entered this room, he had already noticed this white-bearded old daoist, but he deliberately pretended not to see this white-bearded old dao dressed as an ordinary traveling dao priest, and in his heart, he didn't bother to greet such a traveling dao priest at all. When he heard the white-bearded old Taoist suddenly say these words without a beginning or an end, Wen Yiyang finally couldn't help but ask Yu Fei'er: "Could this be Brother Dao's master, Puci Daoren?"
Yu Fei'er hurriedly told Wen Yiyang how he met this white-bearded old man, and how he provoked the white-bearded old man to come to this prefect's mansion together, and then he told Wen Yiyang about the antidote that the white-bearded old man said before. Wen Yiyang was also surprised after hearing the detoxification method that Yu Fei'er said. He had only heard this kind of demon alchemy spell talk about it, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, and he couldn't imagine that the white-bearded old Taoist in front of him would use this kind of thaumaturgy, it seemed that this white-bearded old Taoist was by no means an ordinary wandering Taoist. Thinking of this, Wen Yiyang's attitude towards the white-bearded old man immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he saw him respectfully walk up to the white-bearded old road and salute and asked: "The little Taoist priest really has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and there was a place to snub the old man before, and I hope that the old man is magnanimous." Dare to ask where the old gentleman is cultivating, which sect does he belong to, and what should he call him?"
"Lao Dao is just a traveling Taoist priest who lives from all over the world and makes a living by telling fortunes and seeing doctors, how can he compare with a person like Xiao Dao Chang who came out of a famous and upright family? You asked me how to call me? Lao Dao only remembered that many years ago someone called me Wang Dao Chang, it seems that I should be surnamed Wang, but what exactly is my name Wang? Lao Dao is so old that he can't remember it anyway. In fact, what is the importance of Lao Dao's surname? To put it bluntly, this name is just a code name, so you can call Lao Dao whatever you want, or you can just call me Whitebeard Lao Dao. The white-bearded old Taoist had actually noticed Wen Yiyang's expression after entering this room, and knew that this little Taoist priest didn't care about himself at all, so he deliberately replied.
Wen Yiyang saw that the white-bearded old man was not only unwilling to tell him his true identity, but also secretly counted himself, and the expression on his face was suddenly a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Wen Yiyang's brain turned quite fast, and he asked casually like the white-bearded old man: "The old gentleman's medical skills and alchemy skills are so superb, presumably the old gentleman's demon removal skills must also be very good, why is the old gentleman unwilling to get rid of those monsters who are making trouble on the Xianxia Ridge with the two of us for Tianxingdao?
"Little Taoist, you really exalt me too much, the old man has just learned some skills in divination and alchemy, and he doesn't know what Taoist spells you are talking about at all, even if I go, I won't be able to help you, but it will drag you down, so it's better to let me stay in this prefect's mansion to take care of General Yang." But now that General Yang has taken the life-sustaining golden pill you brought, I think he shouldn't have any worries about his life in this half a month, in that case, then the old Taoist will go to Xianxialing with you two little Taoists. ”
"The old gentleman is really willing to go to Xianxialing with us?" Yu Fei'er seemed to be very curious on the surface, but in fact, he already understood in his heart why the white-bearded old Taoist was unwilling to go to Xianxialing with him before, it turned out that he was afraid that General Yang's illness would recur.
I only heard the white-bearded old man reply: "The old man went to Xianxialing with you, I didn't go to help you get rid of any demons, just to save some time." If Lao Dao waits here for the two demons to come back and then sets off to Longhu Mountain to borrow the Bagua Furnace Alchemy of the Zhengyi Sect, I am afraid that it will take more than half a month to come and go, and it is likely to delay the time to treat the general, and you two little Taoists don't know what things can be used to refine the detoxification golden pill on those monsters, so it is better for Lao Dao to go with you. But Lao Dao has a sentence to say in front, Lao Dao doesn't know what spells to cast, if you really encounter any danger, you two have to ensure the safety of me, an old man. ”
"Don't worry, old man, your safety is on Wen Yiyang. That Xianxia Ridge is not far from my Longhu Mountain, and the old gentleman is indeed very thoughtful, so the three of us will go together. Wen Yiyang agreed with Whitebeard's decision.
The prefect of Hangzhou saw that the three Taoist chiefs were willing to go, and he was naturally very happy in his heart, and said politely to the three of them: "Then please also ask the three immortals to rest in the mansion for one night today, and it is not too late to leave tomorrow morning." With that, he instructed his men to clean up the three rooms and prepare dinner. After all the orders were completed, the prefect took Yu Fei'er and the three of them out of the room where General Yang was resting and went to the prefect's lobby to rest.
After the people in the prefect's mansion prepared dinner, the prefect took the three of them to have dinner and then let the three of them go back to their rooms to rest.
The night passed in a flash. Early the next morning, after the three of them bid farewell to the prefect of Hangzhou, the soldiers under General Yang led them straight to Xianxialing.
On the way to Xianxialing, the prefect of Hangzhou has already made arrangements, so there are official carriages to pick up and drop off the whole process, and every time they arrive at an official post station, everyone will get a warm hospitality, and then change to a new carriage to continue to move forward.
In this way, they drove for three days in a row, and by the evening of the third day, the carriage in which Yu Fei'er and his party were sitting had already arrived at an official post station closest to Xianxialing. Several soldiers accompanying them hurriedly said that they could only send three people here, and if they went further, they would enter the range of Xianxia Ridge, and once they entered there, they would be attacked by those monsters at any time. Of course, the three of them didn't want to embarrass these soldiers, and immediately said that the three of them could walk on the road in front of them, and the soldiers only needed to wait for them to come back at the post station. Since it was late at this time, the three of them decided to rest for one night at the post station and wait for tomorrow morning before setting off to Xianxialing.
The three of them rested at the inn for one night. Before leaving the next morning, Yu Fei'er returned to his house and locked the letter entrusted to him by the Bodhisattva in a box in the room along with the brocade box given to him by his master, and then instructed the leader of the soldiers who accompanied him to send the letters locked in the box in the house back to Putuo Mountain together with the brocade box in case he could not return smoothly from Xianxialing, and handed them over to the Puci Taoist.
When everything was ready, the three of them took some dry food with them and said goodbye to the soldiers and headed towards Xianxialing.
