………………………………………
To the north of Xiaqiu Town, there is a manor surrounded by ancient wood. In the lush greenery, you can see exquisite gatehouses, tall courtyard walls, and the figures of monks.
That is the legendary immortal cultivation family and the mansion of the Gong family.
Although there are many immortal sects in the nine kingdoms of Shenzhou. Many immortal cultivators cannot withstand the rules and regulations, either live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, or live in seclusion in the downtown area; or are free alone, or marrying children and scattering their branches and leaves. The Shangguan family in Nanling, the Yue family in Shizhou, the Xiang family in Qiancuifeng, and the Gong family in front of them are such an existence.
As we all know, the Immortal Sect is mysterious and unattainable, and the so-called immortal cultivation family has naturally become a place that people talk about. Now, Huang Yuanshan is about to open the mountain gate, which is said to be a rare opportunity for experience. So, monks from all walks of life gathered in Xiaqiu Town. Either make friends or gather around the Gong family to find out the news, which is also a way to broaden your horizons and increase your experience, etc.
A hundred feet away from the Gong family were several wine shops and tea shops near the end of the street. Just after noon, monks appeared. After Wujiu had eaten the barbecue, he also walked here, so he found the tea shop's pergola and sat down, and looked around alone.
That Yue Qiong didn't come with him?
If you have nothing to do, you will either be traitor or steal.
woman?
Humph, no exception!
What's more, that's not an ordinary woman! Fortunately, she and Yue Xuan did not disguise, otherwise they wouldn't be able to see the details of her.
It was still more than a month before the opening of Huangyuan Mountain. Since we arrived in Xiaqiu Town, just be more careful.
However, according to the old Taoist Qi, Huang Yuanshan opened the mountain gate, called Guangna cultivators from all walks of life to come for training, and the real intention was to recruit disciples. The father and daughter of the Yue family would never join the immortal sect, so why should they join in the fun? Apart from her father and daughter, are there any other hidden masters?
In addition, he offended Gu Jianshan, Lingxia Mountain, Ziding Mountain and Yuehua Mountain, and the immortal gates in various places were not unprepared. Why did Huang Yuanshan still open the mountain gate and sword tomb as usual? Aren’t you afraid that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble? Especially Xiang Chengzi of Yuehua Mountain, not only was the cave robbed, but the sword stone hidden in Qiancui Peak was also lost. How could he give up? Besides, Niu Li and Qingqiu are adjacent to each other, so he must come to Huang Yuanshan to check. According to this, there are many abnormalities...
"Fellow Daoist Xuanyu, we're meeting again!"
Wujiu was still thinking about it, and a dirty old man was wandering around.
Too solid?
This old man came again like a ghost. Others are weird, and the Taoist name sounds even more weird!
Wujiu ignored it and picked up the pottery bowl on the table. The bowl contained the tea soup made of spring water and hay, which was sweet and quenched thirst.
"Oh, the tea is light, not as good as the smell of soju. Brother Xuanyu, I'll invite you to have a bowl?"
Taishi actually walked into the tea shed directly, holding a small jar of wine in his hand and signaling with a smile.
Wujiu had learned from the past, and he refused to suffer any losses. He drank all the tea soup in one mouthful. Then he put down the pottery bowl and reached out to refuse: "Old man, I am not familiar with you, please respect yourself!"
Taishi sat on the stool opposite, raised the small jar and poured a mouthful of wine. The wine drizzled so hard that the beard was covered with clothes, but he waved his sleeves indifferently, then opened his wrinkled old face and smiled, "No need to see it, it's mature again and again!"
His face was slightly dark, his wrinkles were deep, his edges were uneven, and his whole body looked very dirty, while his eyes under his long eyebrows were deep and shrewd.
Wujiu picked up the pottery teapot and poured another bowl of tea for himself. After a glance, he couldn't help but grin and said carelessly: "Old man, what sect do you come from? Why are you staying here? Could it be that you intend to go to Huangyuan Mountain? You don't want to worship the Immortal Sect, right?"
There weren't many people in the tea shop.
Most of the monks who come and go gather in the wine shop not far away to sit leisurely. People who practice immortals have been boring and light for a long time, and may prefer the intensity of wine.
Of course, some people were holding wine jars in their hands and sneaked to the tea shop to join in the fun.
This old man named Taishi was like such a strange person, but he didn't expect Wujiu to ask suddenly and ask him a little surprised: "How do you know I was from the Immortal Sect?" He looked puzzled and said, "Ah... I also worshipped in the Immortal Sect back then, but my cultivation was not good, so I had to wander around. It would be better not to mention the past! Just as this happened, I heard that Huang Yuanshan's sword tomb had many opportunities, so I thought about trying my luck!"
He paused and said curiously: "Xuanyu, although you are vulgar, you have a clear and elegant bones and wide eyebrows. I guess there are gullies in your abdomen. You will not let your fall into the sect of immortals, right?"
The old man's tone was very friendly, but his words were mixed. What did he mean to be vulgar? He didn't look at his dirty appearance. If he worshipped the immortal sect, he would fall into depravity? It sounded a bit new. Let's just say, since he borrowed Xuanyu's Taoist name, he would be responsible for whether it was good or bad.
Wujiu smiled slightly and asked without answering, "Old man, are you saying that there are many people who are just going to Huang Yuanshan to try their luck?"
There are nearly a hundred monks gathered in Xiaqiu Town now. As the trip to Huangyuan Mountain approaches, more monks will come. The quality is different, and there are all kinds of people. As for how many masters such as the father and daughter of the Yue family are hidden, it is unknown.
Taishi raised the wine jar and sipped wine again, and said blankly: "Fellow Taoist is really interesting. What did I say just now?"
The old man opened his mouth and was silly, but when he savored it carefully, he was all irrelevant words, and he really couldn't catch any help.
Wujiu picked up the tea bowl and looked at Taishi silently. He looked back and forth from the other party's expression, appearance, and clothes. He wanted to find something out of it, but he couldn't see anything.
Taishi looked impatient, and stood up and left, complaining: "You are young, but you are very scheming. You are not like a good person, so it is really difficult to get along with. I'll look for other fellow Taoists to talk to, hum!"
Wujiu slowly tasted the tea soup and secretly complained.
I don't look like a good person?
Damn old man, you are not a moral gentleman either!
It was convenient for this moment, someone in the wine shop not far away exclaimed in a low voice.
"The monks of the Gong family, masters of foundation building!"
"Although that woman is young and beautiful, she is not a foundation-building expert..."
"Are you a slutty fellow Taoist? I mean the middle-aged man named Gong Zhen, who is an elder of the head of the Gong family..."
"Where is the woman..."
"The name is Gong Yue, and the ninth level of the Feather, tsk!"
"Be careful, don't cause trouble!"
Two people walked from the street, a middle-aged man and a young woman. The man had a plain robe and big sleeves, with a tall appearance; the woman was dressed in white and covered in black hair. The two of them walked lightly, without looking sideways, and walked across the street, crossing the hillside in front, and disappeared in an instant in the courtyard surrounded by ancient wood.
More than a dozen monks were still whispering in the shops on both sides of the street.
Wujiu put down the tea bowl and was indifferent.
I just watch the fun and make acquaintance with a few fellow Taoists. Within three or five days, I can't hear useful news at all. Besides, I don't want to deal with others, so as not to reveal flaws. Let's go back to the inn and act according to the opportunity.
Wujiu took out a small ingot of gold and threw it on the table, and the tea shopkeeper was so happy that he bowed and thanked him repeatedly. Before he left, someone walked into the tea shed: "A bowl of vulgar tea soup is just a worthy half of the ingot of red gold that is worthy of fellow Taoists. It's so generous, haha!"
It turned out to be Yue Xuan, who walked over and stroked his beard with one hand behind his back.
"Well, I'm poor too, so poor that I only have gold..."
Wujiu said perfunctorily and walked out of the tea shed.
The unexpected reunion with the father and daughter of Yue's family made him very confident. Moreover, Yue Xuan is definitely not a simple foundation-building master, so it is better to stay away from him to avoid any trouble.
"Haha, fellow Taoists are really good at joking..."
Yue Xuan wanted to take the opportunity to exchange greetings, but the figure passed by. He hurriedly turned around and chased after him: "Fellow Daoist Xuanyu, why did he leave?
"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep...that...some days of retreat!"
Wujiu didn't look back, but almost let it go.
Alas, don’t monks need to sleep?
"As far as I know, in mid-September, the monks in the town will rush to Huangyuan Mountain. The Taoist sects and accumulates their strength, and it is time for them to be restored. But..."
Yue Xuan caught up with Wujiu, and the two walked side by side. He continued, "I have something to do, so it's not convenient to go there, and the little girl is walking alone, so I can't rest assured. If fellow Taoists can take care of each other, they will thank you very much in the future!"
Wujiu paused under his feet and looked back in surprise: "You mean... let me take care of Ling Yan?"
Yue Xuanhan nodded with a smile and said naturally: "You are a master of the ninth level of the feather. Your cultivation is far stronger than the little girl. It is a perfect idea to take care of it on the way! Fellow Daoist Xuanyu, what do you think?"
Wujiu grinned at the corner of his mouth, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he continued to move forward, and simply said nothing.
What does it mean? A foundation-building master actually wants a junior of a feather monk to take care of him? I think there is no flaw, so why did his father and daughter both pester me?
"Forgive me for taking the liberty!"
Yue Xuan then said, "I just care and have no other intentions!
Wujiu just walked, turned into the alley, went to Huangji Barbecue Shop to buy charcoal basin, charcoal, spices and other items, and swept away the remaining ten kilograms of venison, then continued to move forward happily. Yue Xuan looked at him and took the opportunity to ask. He still ignored him and returned home with a load of loads in the pastry shop.
After a moment, I arrived at the inn and went up to the second floor. The doors of several rooms were wide open, but the woman Yue Qiong was not seen.
Wujiu stopped in front of his guest room, and Yue Xuan followed him. He turned around to stop him and said apologetically: "I have never claimed to go to Huangyuan Mountain and take care of Ling Yan's words, so I can't mention it. Let's go to recuperate for a few days, and I will not be with you!"
Yue Xuan was puzzled and said in surprise: "Since you refuse to go to Huangyuan Mountain, why are you staying here?"
"I travel around the world and pay attention to everything going with the flow!"
Wujiu replied inexplicably, entered the guest room, reached out to cover the door, and saw Yue Xuan still standing there, then gave a reserved smile: "Fellow Daoist Yue, I have lost my companion!"
The door creaked and closed, and then the formation flashed.
Yue Xuan took a few steps back, looking suspicious...
