Chapter 302 Dongting Lake, Taoist priest Xuanqing!
Qi Xiang found a secluded and deserted place and slowly surfaced. Then he found that this place was indeed a big lake, with the entire lake surface vast and very vast, and there was no edge at all.
But he was sure that this was on Earth...
Well, and it's China.
Because he saw a very familiar Chinese character billboard on a passing boat in the distance.
"Wait, this is..."
Qi Xiang had sharp eyes and soon saw a line of text on the ship.
"Yueyang 4g, faster and more refreshing, beyond your imagination."
Seeing this line of advertisements, Qi Xiang was immediately stunned, and then a flash of inspiration: "Yueyang Tower, Dongting Lake?"
"Is this Dongting Lake?"
Qi Xiang looked around and felt very similar. Dongting was eight hundred miles away, with vast smoke and waves, and the lake area was indeed very wide, which was very consistent with the environment here.
However, there are countless kilometers between Taihu Lake and Dongting Lake. Why did he fly over at once?
It's really flying in the sky and hiding in the earth, and Boeing is not that fast.
"Cross provinces, cross provinces, really cross two provinces."
Qi Xiang was stunned for a while before he gradually came back to his senses. His thoughts fluctuated. Now it is certain that there should be no water palace in Taihu Lake, but there is a magical teleportation formation.
Teleportation formations connect the two lakes, and instantly thousands of miles.
"This is also an unexpected gain."
Qi Xiang smiled bitterly and comforted herself, thinking that this was also good. At least, in the future, you don’t need to take a plane again, which can save a lot of time and money.
By the way, starting a express company and transporting goods on both sides can also make a lot of money.
Tobacco smuggling or something, you don’t have to worry about being caught…
Qi Xiang was full of thoughts and returned to reality. He suddenly realized that there was a great benefit to come to Dongting Lake. That was, people from the Ten-Straits could not find his whereabouts, no matter how much they investigated.
No matter who it is, he would never have thought that he could cross two provinces with a single whirlpool and appear in Dongting Lake. Even if the ten directions have great magical powers, they would block the water, land and air travel routes in Huzhou, they would not have discovered anything.
"Hmph, go investigate slowly."
Qi Xiang's mood suddenly turned from yin to sunny, and she was very happy. But after a moment of happiness, he had to face another problem. When he first arrived and was unfamiliar with the place, where should he stay?
This is near Yueyang, so it should be a good choice to go to Yueyang along the way.
The problem is that Yueyang is relatively prosperous, with many people and eyes, and is prone to expose his whereabouts. Qi Xiang is not sure whether there are people from the Ten Directions of the Dao of Yueyang.
He was not afraid, the key was that he didn't want to cause trouble anymore now. After all, he was a monk who wanted to live forever, not a militant, and enjoyed fighting and killing all day long.
"Find a place. Stay away from the limelight and digest the harvest."
Qi Xiang thought about it, thought for a long time, and suddenly sank into the bottom of the lake, sneaking in the water again. He swam slowly for a long time, and then quietly got ashore when it was dark.
Dongting Lake is very large and there are many surrounding cities. Qi Xiang chose a remote place and after getting ashore, she ran all the way. From the plains, she slowly penetrated into the deep mountains.
The deep mountains and forests are rarely visited, and poisonous snakes, birds and beasts lurk in, which is a certain danger.
Qi Xiang ran all night, and he stopped in the early morning the next day. He found a valley nearby, with streams flowing through, and some wild fruit trees in the valley.
He was lucky and caught a few birds eating fruits.
He set up a stove in the valley to raise fire, opened a few fat birds and peeled the belly, and then put them on the fire to barbecue.
It is worth mentioning that he took some daily necessities such as oil and salt along the way last night when he passed by the town. So now, there is no need to worry about the tastelessness of barbecue.
He took a small brush, dipped it in oil, salt, cumin, and applied it to the bird.
As soon as the fire burned, the tempting fragrance was emitted. Thinking about it carefully, he hadn't eaten seriously for about two days. Now that the fragrance was rising, he was drooling, so naturally he couldn't hold back.
"Okay, it's almost done."
Qi Xiang turned the tree branches and her saliva was almost flowing down.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a popping sound, and a strange movement came.
"who?"
Qi Xiang's heart moved and looked over very alertly. Then he saw a yellow-haired monkey squatting on a tree, pulling a branch to play.
"Where did the monkey come from..."
Qi Xiang was a little surprised. After a few glances, she was even more surprised to find that there was a green cloth bag hanging around the waist of the yellow-haired monkey.
So for a moment, Qi Xiang couldn't figure out whether this yellow-haired monkey was raised by someone or a wild monkey, but he picked up a bag.
If you can't figure it out, don't think about it.
Qi Xiang glanced at it and ignored the monkey, but focused on the barbecue. After a while, the barbecue was ready. He wanted to eat it, but suddenly he heard a sound of a whistle, as if something had hit him.
He was stunned and looked up and found that the yellow-haired monkey was very naughty on the tree. He actually picked a wild fruit and thought it was a hidden weapon of stone, and grinned.
Although it didn't hit, it was very close.
Qi Xiang turned black and curled her lips, "Monkey Head, for the sake of the Great Sage, I won't bother with you..."
"Swoosh!"
The yellow-haired monkey couldn't understand, but when he saw Qi Xiang paying attention to it, he became even more excited. He picked many fruits in one hand and threw them one by one.
When Qi Xiang saw this, she couldn't help frowning, and caught one of the wild fruits, then waved her hand. The wild fruit came out, cleverly avoiding the obstruction of the branches, and directly hit the yellow-haired monkey's forehead.
"Click!"
In an instant, the yellow-haired monkey became angry, glared and bared, pulled the tree a few times and came to the tree near Qi Xiang. He swung the swing in autumn, slapped the trunks, constantly making strange roars and hissings, bluffing.
Qi Xiang wanted to laugh after seeing it, and while gnawing on the barbecue, she watched the monkey show.
This contemptuous attitude made the yellow-haired monkey even more angry. It angrily picked many leaves and threw them at Qi Xiang. However, the branches and leaves had no strength and could not be thrown far.
In a fit of anger, it took off the bag from its waist and smashed it hard at Qi Xiang.
"call……"
The bag hit him, but he had no idea what to do. Qi Xiang raised his eyebrows and didn't need to avoid it. Seeing the bag fall to the ground, he picked up a wild fruit and threw it gently.
Chi, the wild fruit was accurately and stuffed into the mouth of the yellow-haired monkey, making it terrified, and then quickly pulled the branches and ran away.
Seeing this, Qi Xiang smiled and continued to eat barbecue. However, her eyes slowly turned and looked at the bag on the ground. She didn't know what was in the bunch of bags.
He was curious for a moment, so he picked up the bag and pulled it casually.
The bag opened and saw a few pieces of clothes and some fragments inside.
The clothes were a little strange, as if they were gowns, cloth shoes, and toe crowns. As for the scattered things, they were some miscellaneous items, including a letter.
With curiosity, Qi Xiang himself couldn't resist it. Seeing that the envelope was not glued, he opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, and expanded it to watch.
The letter has words, which seems to be a letter of introduction, or a letter of appointment.
The content of the letter is also relatively simple, which is to appoint a Taoist priest named Xuan Qing to go to the Taoist temple under a certain village to serve as the person in charge, which is the so-called polite master and abbot.
When it comes to the abbot, many people are influenced by film and television dramas and always think that it is an inherent title in Buddhism.
In fact, that was purely a misunderstanding. In fact, the word abbot was a Taoist thing from the beginning. However, Buddhism was introduced to China and was borrowed and used directly.
Later, as the Buddhist power continued to expand and the misleading of film and television dramas, many people did not know that the word abbot was shared by the two factions. When others mentioned the abbot, they always thought of monks.
"Abbot Xuanqing!" Qi Xiang's eyes turned and then smiled. The name of this abbot is indeed very high-end. However, it also depends on the abbot of the place.
If it were the abbot of Shaolin Temple, it would be majestic and famous. However, the abbot of Xuanqing was located between the scoundree valleys. It is also possible to imagine what the Taoist temple in the valleys would look like.
Qi Xiang glanced at it and guessed in her heart that the Taoist priest Xuanqing might have accidentally lost his bag while entering the mountain and was picked up by the yellow-haired monkey again.
Judging from the dates in the letter, this was more than a month ago.
I guess I'm already in the Taoist temple.
Qi Xiang threw down the letter and continued to eat and bake. After three or five minutes, he got a few fat birds and finally got full. However, the greasy hand made him feel uncomfortable, so he walked into the stream to wash his hands.
Just then, a sound of footsteps came.
"What's the situation? This is?"
Qi Xiang was confused. Isn’t this a rarely visited valley? Why is it like a downtown city, and people come and go all day long? Just as the front foot left, there was a yellow-haired monkey, and someone came back foot.
Qi Xiang frowned, and after washing his hands, he stood up and saw a group of seven or eight young and strong men, split into two groups, carrying a big mountain pig, and carrying a wounded person, and then slowly walked over.
When they saw Qi Xiang next to the stream, the people were also stunned.
However, they did not hesitate, and walked straight ahead after a little slowed down.
The people approached and saw that the middle-aged man was leading. He was thin and a little short, but his eyes were bright and very smart.
The middle-aged man's eyes were scrutinized. After turning his eyes around, he asked with a smile: "Brother, are you lost?"
"Well……"
Qi Xiang blinked her eyes and nodded repeatedly, showing a relieved expression, and squeezed out a smile and said, "I finally met someone after walking for several hours."
"Haha, it's okay, we'll take you out in a while."
