The white mountains and black waters that appeared in Yu Lie's eyes were clearly the place where he first entered the road, Blackwater Town!
But compared with the Heishui Town in Yu Lie's memory, the appearance of Heishui Town today has changed a lot.
Heishui Cliff, which originally had no hooks or steps, now has stone steps built around the cliff. There are railings on the steps, and green will-o'-the-wisps are burning on the railings. Although it has a sinister temperament, it looks like a poisonous snake coiled on the Black Water Cliff.
But it can also provide lighting for people.
The stone houses on the cliff are no longer just the residences of mountain ghosts, but have the appearance of a palace and a bit of a monastery.
Just looking at the size of the building complex, the population in Blackwater Town must be much larger than before.
Yu Lie withdrew his gaze from the dead wine bug, raised his head, and sighed:
“It turns out that not only has this place not been abolished, but it is even more lively than before.”
After leaving Blackwater Town, Yu Lie occasionally paid attention to the news about Qian County because his godmother was still alive.
But in Blackwater Town, there was not only no one he cared about, but it was also on the outskirts, and information was limited. It would have taken a lot of effort to find out, so Yu Lie didn't pay any attention to it.
Only in the dead of night, when Yu Lie looked back on his decades of monastic life, did he think of this place where he first entered the path.
He did not expect that he would now be promoted to a Taoist priest and truly start to pursue the so-called great road. After going round and round, he would actually return to this place where he entered the Tao.
For Yu Lie, this place is actually more like "hometown" than Qianjun.
Maybe it's because of timidity of leaving home, maybe because of concern about the dragon spirit in Dao Town, or maybe both.
After Yu Lie walked a few steps towards the Blackwater Cliff, he stopped. He did not choose to climb up the high cliff to take a look at the current Blackwater Town and compare it with how big it was in the past.
Variety.
Yu Lie just walked around casually, taking in the scenery under the cliff.
He also walked to the edge of the cliff and suddenly stretched out his hand. The fishing rod and line he used to fish for black snake fish when he was a Taoist boy appeared in his hand again.
Visiting this old place, Yu Lie was touched in his heart. He looked at the fast-flowing Blackwater River and thought to himself:
"I don't know what the situation of the Taoist disciples in the town was like after the Blackwater Temple Master left. Are the black snake fish in the river still as fat as before..."
As soon as he put on his robe, he sat cross-legged in a sheltered depression under the cliff. He threw the fishhook and line, which were of solid quality and had not been maintained for many years but still worked, into the black river and started working on his old profession.
--fishing.
But compared with before, Yu Lie no longer used the meat refined in the wine glass as bait. Instead, he caught a small lizard-like beast from the cliff, pierced his chest and neck, and hung it on the hook as bait.
went up and was thrown into the black river.
He plans to rely on his true ability to conquer this place!
Just a moment passed. Yu Li, who was never empty-handed, sat cross-legged for most of the hour, but not a single black snake fish took the bait, not even many other miscellaneous fish.
Yu Lie couldn't help it. He released his spiritual consciousness. As the fishhook spread downward, he clearly discovered that the snake fish in the Black River were still fat. Even if there were more dinosaur species, this section of the river was still thick.
The territory of the black snake fish.
Just when he was about to cheat and use his spiritual consciousness to force a snake and fish to hook the hook, his ears moved slightly and he looked behind him.
Kaka!
Under the Blackwater Cliff, there were sounds of fallen branches and fallen leaves being trampled, and sounds like the squeaking of wooden doors opening and closing rhythmically.
On the steps of the green Heishui Cliff, a pale donkey suddenly appeared, with ghostly symbols on its face and an expression that looked like a smile but not a smile. There was also a copper bell hanging on the donkey's neck. As it walked, it shook with each step.
.
Jingle bells, a chanting sound sounded behind the donkey, and two or three little boys and girls who looked like children said in their mouths:
"Mysterious and dark confinement, Yin officials travel."
"Patrol the mountains, look at the cliffs, and catch thieves and monsters."
They were also holding green lanterns in their hands. After they got off the stairs, they hung them behind the donkeys, rising and falling like the butts of fireflies.
The donkey that led them was a paper donkey, and it was the same paper donkey charm that Yu Lie had used when traveling.
At this time, sitting sideways on the back of the paper donkey, was a slim female Taoist. Her eyes were slightly closed, her eyebrows were delicate, and there was a bright red cinnabar mole on her forehead. She had a cold temperament. Although she was sitting sideways,
But it doesn't look like Xiaojiabiyu at all. Instead, it is cold and stern, proud and gorgeous.
The female Taoist held a whisk in her hand, and her exposed wrist was as white as frost and snow.
Suddenly, her slightly closed eyes opened and her brows furrowed.
Immediately, the little Taoist boy accompanying him asked: "Taoist Master, is there something abnormal under the cliff today?"
The female Taoist waved her whisk and pointed in a certain direction: "Let's go."
The woman ordered the Taoist boys who were guarding the cliff to change direction and walk straight to the river below the cliff. This direction was where Yu Lie decided to fish on the spur of the moment.
When a group of people and horses staggered over, the rest of the people on the riverside had naturally lost track of them early. Only his fishing rod was still hanging on the bank.
After the fair girl came to the river, she got off the paper donkey, frowned slightly, and suddenly picked up the copper and iron fishing rod that Yu Lie used for fishing, and remained silent.
The Taoist boys accompanying her looked around boldly and murmured:
"If you fish here, you can catch a ball!"
"There must be someone who doesn't want to pay for fishing and is fishing privately under this cliff to take advantage of our Feng Shui."
"Look at this crudely made iron rod. It's pretty solid, but at first glance you can tell it was made by some stupid craftsman by mistake. It's as thick as a goose egg. Any fishing gear shop in the town is better than this one.
"
The group of Taoist boys were muttering, but they didn't notice the female Taoist next to them, with a hint of memory in their eyes.
Finally someone recognized the fishing gear and it was a female Taoist girl.
She stood up triumphantly, raised her hands to the people around her, and said:
"All Taoist friends are telling you wrong things. This iron rod was a fishing tool commonly used in this town more than ten years ago. Someone must have dug this thing out of the beach somewhere... I have already dug it up in the hut.
I’ve seen it many times. People often use these free tools, but in the end they find them too cumbersome and throw them away as they go fishing.”
When the other little Taoist boys heard this, their faces suddenly showed expressions of surprise and admiration, and they said, "That's it."
There was also a Taoist boy who was secretly unhappy when he saw that the girl was in the limelight, and said to himself: "You are the only one who is well-informed."
With the female Taoist's explanation, everyone accompanying them immediately understood why the female Taoist next to him was holding the thick fishing rod in deep thought.
This Taoist priest was a Taoist who had cultivated in Blackwater Town since he was a child. It is said that he had also experienced the great changes in Blackwater Town.
These fishing rods, which were only used more than ten years ago, must have been used by her before. Now that she saw someone using the old things again, she thought it was emotional and reminded her of the past.
However, the woman's mind was changeable. When all the Taoist boys thought that the female Taoist priest was going to put the fishing rod into her sleeve, she narrowed her eyes slightly, but suddenly a ghost fire appeared in her hand, and the fishing rod melted into ashes in a flash.
The copper and iron water on the beach is dazzlingly red.
The fishing line made of steel rope also broke completely and fell into the fast black river.
The female Taoist did not explain her sudden action, after all, her thoughts were too absurd and too whimsical. She just flicked the fly whisk in her hand, hugged the fly whisk, and left the river in three or two steps.
The female channel said in a cold voice: "Keep walking and continue patrolling the mountain. Be careful not to be killed by the lizards."
The little Taoist boys quickly spread their short legs, some carried lanterns, and some led paper donkeys, staggering to keep up with the tall female Taoist with slender legs in front of them.
After they left completely, a figure quietly appeared in front of the pool of dim molten iron.
This person was Yu Lie. He looked at the place on the river where the fish line that had been burned by the female channel sank into the river with a pity look on his face.
Just now, he had been waiting for a long time, and finally saw a snake fish about to take the bait. As a result, the sudden female channel only disturbed his fishing, but also directly damaged his fishing gear, completely killing him.
Thoughts on catching snake fish.
"This is not a crime of war, and it is not my fault."
Yu Lie muttered in his mouth and said to himself: "If you hadn't seen that you are quite old, maybe you are in the same class as me. If I ruined my catch today, I would have to make you suffer at any cost."
After comforting himself, he put away his sighs, reached into his sleeves, and slipped out the treasure-hunting bamboo rat with a bang in his hand.
The bamboo rat was pulled by its tail, and after receiving Yu Lie's instructions, it landed on the spot and immediately sniffed left and right, looking for the direction of its spiritual veins.
The wine bug led Yu Lie here, and he was too lazy to move any further. He planned to simply find a retreat place in the Heihe area. However, he couldn't just find it, let alone hide it directly in the Heishui Cliff. It was best to be hidden and able to
Bring some spirit.
Naturally, the treasure-hunting bamboo rats have to be involved in such tasks.
Suddenly, the bamboo rat did not burrow into the ground as Yu Lie thought. Instead, it barked a few times, jumped on its short legs, and jumped straight into the Black River.
Yu Lie raised his eyebrows slightly, his figure flickered, and he followed behind the bamboo rat and headed towards the black river.
One person and one mouse groped under the Black River for a long time, passing through countless undercurrents.
When Yu Lie walked out of a dark river underground, he was surprised to find that the abundance of spiritual energy around him far exceeded the best spiritual chambers in Blackwater Town in his memory.
"I haven't seen it in more than ten years, but Xiaodao Town has actually developed to such an extent. Has its spiritual veins even grown several times?"
Yu Lie was surprised in his heart. His consciousness looked around, and the strange color on his face immediately became more intense.
Because under the guidance of the treasure-hunting bamboo rat, although he penetrated the spiritual veins of Heishui Cliff, the rich spiritual energy around him was not simply caused by the escape of the spiritual veins, but a golden thing, which was
