Chapter 23: Asking for Directions

Since Yu Fei'er's attention was all attracted by the land in front of the stream, he didn't notice that there was a person sitting on a stone not far from him, but Wen Yiyang behind him had already noticed a middle-aged man sitting on a stone not far from him. I saw this middle-aged man sitting on the stone in the costume of a Taoist priest, holding a fishing rod and fishing in the stream, and his body did not move.

Wen Yiyang really didn't expect that someone would dare to fish here, so he couldn't help but mutter: "Hey! How can there be a Taoist master fishing here at the bottom of this inaccessible and treacherous valley and cliff? ”

After hearing Wen Yiyang's muttering, Yu Fei'er and Whitebeard Lao Dao immediately looked in the direction of Wen Yiyang's gaze, and sure enough, they saw a middle-aged Taoist on a stone not far from the stream. At this time, Yu Fei'er was only thinking about getting out of this valley as soon as possible, so it didn't think much about this sudden appearance of the Dao Master. He said happily: "It seems that the piece of land ahead must lead to the exit to the bottom of this valley, otherwise how could anyone come here to fish? Why don't the three of us go over and ask this Taoist Master now, maybe we can learn from this Taoist that this valley bottom exit is not far from here." ”

Wen Yiyang and Whitebeard Dao immediately nodded in agreement, and the three of them walked cautiously in the direction of the middle-aged Dao Leader between the stones in the stream. When the three of them stood still on a large stone in front of the middle-aged Dao Chief, Yu Fei'er waved her hands and respectfully inquired to the middle-aged Dao Chief: "Excuse me to disturb this Dao Chief, the three of us accidentally fell into the valley floor when passing through this place, and although we have searched around this valley bottom, we have never been able to find a way out. It was by accident that the three of us came here and met the Taoist, and asked this Taoist to show me and the other three of us a clear path for the sake of our fellow Daoists, so that the three of us could get out of this valley. ”

The middle-aged Taoist leader slowly raised his head and glanced at the three of them after hearing the voice, then made a gesture of not speaking in front of his mouth with his finger, and caught a fish alone. Seeing this, the three of them had to make no noise and stood aside to watch the Taoist master catch a fish.

The three of them stared at the water for a long time and did not see any movement in the water, so they raised their heads again and began to look at the Taoist leader carefully. I saw that this Taoist chief had his hair in a bun, wore a flat Nanhua scarf, was dressed in a blue robe, and carried a seven-star sword on his back, which was not much different from the outfit of those Taoist priests. After confirming the outfit of the Dao Master, the three of them then looked at the appearance of the Dao Master. This person has a square face, a thin face, a mustache hanging above his lips, and a small beard on his chin, and his whole appearance is no different from ordinary people, except that the long eyes look a little strange, and the black eyeballs actually crowd the entire eye socket, so that there is no trace of whites in the entire eye socket. At this moment, he saw that his dark eyes were fixed on the fishing line in the water without blinking, as if he could see everything under the water.

Wen Yiyang was finally a little impatient standing on the side, and he asked the Daoist in a loud voice: "I don't know where this Daoist is cultivating? ”

Seeing that the Daoist was still sitting in place and still not moving, and he didn't reply to his words, Wen Yiyang turned back to Yu Fei'er angrily and said, "I don't think this Daoist can ask anything, let's go back and find out the exit by ourselves." With that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Yu Fei'er and Whitebeard had no choice but to turn away. When Yu Fei'er and the three of them turned around and were about to leave, they were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them, and none of the stones that had been scattered in the stream before were gone. Just when the three of them looked at each other and didn't know what they had found in the stream, they suddenly heard the sound of the middle-aged Taoist leader putting away the fishing line from the water behind them, and the three of them hurriedly turned around and looked at the top of the fishing rod in the middle-aged Taoist's hand. The three of them thought that there must be a fish on the top of the line, but the top of the line was empty, not to mention that they could see a fish on the hook, and they couldn't even see the hook that should be tied to the top of the line. So the three of them looked at me again, and I looked at you, and they couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in this Taoist gourd.

"As the saying goes, 'Jiang Taigong fishing wishers take the bait', Poor Dao has been waiting for the three of you here for more than a long time, why are you leaving without saying hello?"

"Waiting for the three of us here? Are you an immortal sent from heaven, knowing that we are in trouble today, do you specially wait here to rescue us?" asked the white-bearded man deliberately.

Wen Yiyang hurriedly interrupted Whitebeard's old words and said: "Old man, I see that you still have less daydreaming, in this kind of place where birds don't, do you still think that you can meet the immortals? ”

Yu Fei'er immediately echoed: "The environment around this valley bottom abyss is so precipitous, just like Wen Yiyang said, it is difficult for even birds to enter, and ordinary people will not be able to reach here no matter what, not to mention that there are monsters in this Xianxia Ridge It is known to passers-by, how can there be people who dare to come here to fish?" Speaking of this, Yu Fei'er pointed to the middle-aged Taoist and asked, "Who are you sacred? Why are you waiting for us here? Why did the stones in those streams suddenly disappear? Is it your ghost?"

"Stones, hum, in your eyes they are just stones, but in the eyes of Poor Dao, they are all pawns in the hands of Poor Dao, I have to appear if I want them to appear, and I have to disappear if I want them to disappear. The reason why the three of you were able to step on these rocks is because the poor road deliberately led you here. Even if the two of them have really been defeated by the three of you, the trip of the three of you will be completely ended here, because you have been trapped in my territory without knowing it, and you don't want to get out of here alive. The middle-aged Taoist replied coldly.

"Even those two little demons can call themselves immortals? Originally, the three of us were looking for you monsters, but now that you have sent them to the door yourself, then don't blame us for being polite. Wen Yiyang pointed at the Taoist priest and reprimanded loudly.

"Get rid of me, don't think you can defeat the earthworm and the bat, those two idiots, just think you can beat me, I'm much better than the two of them. Today I'm going to bury all three of you in this stream. After speaking, the middle-aged Taoist took out the seven-star sword from behind his back and danced quickly in mid-air, and then stood the seven-star sword on his chest, his eyes closed tightly and he quickly chanted the spell in his mouth. When the mantra in his mouth was halfway recited, the middle-aged Taoist leader swung his sword and slammed it towards the surface of the stream below the stone he was standing on, and then began to do the magic against the surface of the stream.

Yu Fei'er and the three of them couldn't help but feel a little nervous after seeing the posture of the middle-aged Dao Master, only to see the white-bearded old Daoist ask with concern, "Do the two little Dao Priests know what kind of spell this Dao Master is going to cast next?"

In order not to let the white-bearded old Taoist see the timidity in his heart, Wen Yiyang immediately replied with a disdainful face: "Old man, I think you are really old and confused, this person is obviously the monster who is making trouble in this Xianxia Ridge, and you actually call him the Taoist Chief." What kind of spell can he cast as a little monster? After speaking, Wen Yiyang pulled out the peachwood sword from behind him, and then jumped towards the middle-aged Taoist who was doing it.

"Wen Yiyang, don't be impulsive, the water in this stream is not simple. Just as the middle-aged Taoist waved his sword towards the stream under his feet, Yu Fei'er had already noticed the change in the surface of the stream. I saw that a wave of water ripples quickly appeared on the water surface pointed by the tip of the seven-star sword, and at the same time, the water in the center of the water ripples seemed to be boiling, and "suddenly" rushed out. As the middle-aged Daoist continued to cast his spell on the surface of the stream, countless such water patterns had unconsciously appeared on the surface of the stream. "It seems that the spell that this middle-aged Dao Master is going to cast is definitely not ordinary", Yu Fei'er just flashed such a thought in her heart, when she saw Wen Yiyang waving the peachwood sword in his hand and preparing to jump in the direction of the middle-aged Dao Master. Yu Fei'er was shocked, and hurriedly shouted at Wen Yiyang, hoping that her reminder could stop Wen Yiyang's rash action.

It's a pity that Yu Fei'er's reminder was a little late, and at this time, Wen Yiyang had already jumped into the air. When he heard Yu Fei'er's reminder, he immediately looked at the water under his feet, and when Wen Yiyang looked down, he saw that columns of water were rapidly sprayed out of those water ripples on the surface of the stream, instantly forming a natural wall of water in front of the stone where the middle-aged Taoist was standing. Wen Yiyang knew that something was wrong, and shouted: "It's not good." But at this time, he could not control his body, and after hitting the wall of water, the whole person fell from mid-air like a kite with a broken string, and he was about to fall into the stream below him.

Since Yu Fei'er had already discovered this series of abnormal changes on the water surface, she immediately calmed her luck after discovering that she had not succeeded in stopping Wen Yiyang, and secretly guarded against the changes that might occur on the surface of the stream at any time. When he saw that Wen Yiyang was about to fall into the stream under his feet after being blocked by a wall of water that suddenly jumped out of the water, Yu Fei'er hurriedly pointed to the stones under his feet and performed the art of resisting the earth. As the Five Elements Qi he had generated entered the ground at the bottom of the stream through the stones under his feet, Yu Fei'er immediately controlled his Five Elements Qi to activate a huge rock that was flat on the ground directly below the surface of the water under Wen Yiyang's body. Driven by Yu Fei'er's spell, a young branch quickly broke out on the surface of the rock, and continued to grow towards the water surface, and when the fast-growing branch was about to break out of the water, a young shoot quickly sprouted from the top of the branch and finally grew into a lotus leaf. After the spell was cast, Yu Fei'er hurriedly motioned for Wen Yiyang to fall onto the lotus leaf that his spell had turned out of the surface of the underwater rock.

After Wen Yiyang received Yu Fei'er's signal, he noticed that there was an extra lotus leaf made of stone on the surface of the stream under his feet, and hurriedly worked hard to adjust his body shape in the process of his body constantly falling, and finally let himself land firmly on the lotus leaf that Yu Fei'er turned into.

After his figure stood firm on the lotus leaf, Wen Yiyang just wanted to turn around and thank Yu Fei'er, when he heard the middle-aged Taoist sneer: "Little Daoist, do you think you have been freed from my spell? Don't be too happy, the good is still to come." ”

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged Taoist waved the seven-star sword in his hand and quickly turned it above the surface of the stream, and at the same time, he began to chant words in his mouth again. As the middle-aged Dao Leader kept turning the Seven-Star Sword in his hand, those water patterns in the stream actually began to rotate with the direction of rotation of the Seven-Star Sword in the middle-aged Dao Chief's hand.

Soon, the water ripples on the surface of the water became a whirlpool that could swallow everything, and the stream that was still flowing slowly before had already turned into a torrent, galloping away in the distance like a wild horse that had escaped under everyone's feet. In this turbulent water, the lotus leaf that was transformed from the surface of the underwater rock by Yu Fei'er's spell shook violently, shaking Wen Yiyang standing on the lotus leaf to the ground, and there was a possibility of falling into this turbulent stream at any time.
