The sky was so dark that it was as if the entire cloud layer could be reached with a hand. The rainwater poured down in the strong wind, rushing down like a waterfall. There were dazzling thunder lights, and then the roaring thunder seemed to be in the distance. It sounded less than ten meters from the ground.
Shi Xuan walked slowly in the darkness with a package on his back. Although he had already cast the Rain Avoidance Technique and the Dark Night Vision Spell on himself, and his deep inner strength made the lightness skill more advanced and lasting, this was bad. The environment still makes Shi Xuan find it difficult to walk.
After setting off from Xia'an Mansion, Shi Xuan first went south to the river, and then went upstream, preparing to go to the nearest Tongxuan Mountain in Chuzhou first. Along the way, Shi Xuan always maintained a relatively leisurely attitude, just like he was traveling in his previous life. Especially when he stood alone by the river and saw the majestic scene of the rolling river coming from the west, he felt that the world was vast, and I The feeling of being alone and free. It's not that Shi Xuan has never seen the Yangtze River in his previous life, but now the river is at least twice as wide, majestic and breathtaking.
For Shi Xuan, practicing Taoism is about seeking longevity and freedom. So, since you have to go everywhere to search for the immortal way no matter what, no matter how fast you travel, it will only last a few days. Let yourself be more free and at ease, why not do it. Cultivating the Tao is not about cultivating a stone. .
Originally, Shi Xuan planned to take a boat to Chuzhou. The river breeze blew from the bow of the boat and he ate river fish in the boat. It was so enjoyable. However, he traveled around and explored the legends of immortals and arrived at Linshui Mansion on the edge of the river. By that time, it was already June. As a result, we encountered the first heavy rain of the year. The river water had risen quite a lot. The boats on the river were afraid to travel upstream. Shi Xuan had no choice but to wait in the city. After staying for several days, the heavy rain came and went, but the water level never dropped. Shi Xuan was tired of watching the rain and didn't want to wait any longer. After the weather dried up for a day, he packed up his bags and set off overland to Chuzhou.
Although Shi Xuan took the land route, he still went up the river, preparing to switch to a boat one day when the heavy rain stopped completely. Unexpectedly, when he went out today, there was still a breeze and no rain. Shi Xuan walked into the evening without leaving the store, and was preparing to sleep in the wild like he had done several times before. The wind was strong and the rain was pouring. Shi Xuan didn't want to just sleep in the house like this. In the wild, although there was Taoism around, it was not comfortable, so he walked forward in the rain. Unexpectedly, he didn't see anyone after walking for a long time. Shi Xuan was a little suspicious that he was going the wrong way. It's the tragic end of not having a map to buy. You have to know that in this era, maps were highly confidential items.
Shi Xuan was walking in the darkness. Thanks to Taoism, he could clearly see the puddles and mud pits in front of him. He simply walked around them. If anyone was watching at this time, they would definitely be interested in Shi Xuan's ghostly figure. I was amazed at how relaxed and comfortable the night was like the day. Shi Xuan continued walking for another half an hour, and finally saw a fire flickering in the distance ahead, and couldn't help but feel relieved.
Now that he had a target, Shi Xuan naturally accelerated towards the direction of the fire. When he got closer, he discovered that it was a ruined temple. The fire inside meant that the same people who were on their way to the rain were already taking shelter inside. Well, We are both raining people from the end of the world.
However, the existence of the ruined temple reminded Shi Xuan of countless martial arts novels and ghost novels, in which were there peerless martial arts masters waiting for me to become my apprentice, or sister Nie Xiaoqian waiting for me to save her. In his wild thoughts, Shi Xuan had already stepped onto the steps and pushed open the half-open door.
There are two groups of people inside the ruined temple, which can be distinguished from the distance between their respective fires. There were only two people sitting around a fire far away from the tattered Buddha statue, a handsome young man in blue clothes, and a young man in an azure robe who looked like a book boy next to him. Under the Buddha statue, there are three fires very close to each other. They are full of people. It seems that there are nearly twenty people, all wearing neat gray clothes. There are several flags next to the Buddha statue. He wrote "I am Wu Weiyang" and "showing off to the **** bureau", etc. It seems that this group is a group of escorts.
As soon as Shi Xuan entered the door, the people at the **** agency looked over with vigilance. They relaxed a little when they saw that it was a very young Taoist priest, but they still looked up and down for a long time before looking away, but from Shi Xuan Judging from their senses, they didn't let down their guard at all, but this is normal. For escorts, it's a good thing to be alert. The young master in Tsing Yi on the other side did not show any concern for Shi Xuan at all. He just watched his book boy roasting dry food. He didn't know if he had heard Shi Xuan's footsteps walking towards the ruined temple, or if he was arrogant and disdainful of others. people.
However, since someone was already here, Shi Xuan still planned to express some goodwill and said Gongquan: "Everyone, there is a heavy rain on the trail and I have to stop here. It is really disturbing."
A middle-aged man stood up from the fire in the middle of the Escort Bureau opposite, with a rough appearance, and said in Hong Zhong's voice: "It doesn't matter, everyone is out. It's convenient if you can. I'd like to show off to you. The Escort Bureau congratulates Dahai. The little Taoist priest doesn't need to be too much. Sorry." After saying that, he sat down again, not looking like he was going to invite Shi Xuan over to make a fire with him.
Shi Xuan then discovered that in the middle of the fire, there was a young woman sitting next to the middle-aged man. She was quite beautiful, but her eyes were very arrogant, and she was also dressed in a gray **** outfit.
The young man in green on the other side still ignored him, as if Shi Xuan didn't care about him. Seeing this, Shi Xuan didn't say much. He found some rotten wood and thatch from other places in the ruined temple, then turned his back to the people on both sides, chanted a spell softly, and made a fire. Shi Xuan didn't bring anything with him. Flint and stuff like that.
After finishing it, he sat cross-legged by the fire. This environment was not suitable for visualization and Qi movement. Shi Xuan had to close his eyes and rest, but his keen senses enveloped the entire ruined temple.
Although there were nearly twenty people in the **** office, there were actually only four people sitting in the middle group. One of the fierce-looking **** chiefs whispered: "Chief **** chief, I think there is a big problem with that little Taoist priest." Ah, it’s been raining so hard, but I’m only a little wet.”
Another ordinary-looking **** leader smiled and said: "What's the matter, Xu Ying, do you think he is an innate master? Even the great masters in the subtle realm can't run for miles in the rain without getting wet."
Xu Ying said angrily: "I didn't say it. I suspected that this little Taoist priest had been hiding near here before."
The ordinary-looking **** continued to smile and said: "Not necessarily. He is a Taoist priest. He may not have any magical powers, or he may be the incarnation of a ghost."
"Okay, Xiangshan, don't argue with Aying anymore. How can such a young boy be an innate master? When I was as old as him, I only practiced martial arts." See He Dahai Like, he hurriedly interjected.
"Dad, that little Taoist priest doesn't look very powerful. We just need to pay attention." The arrogant beauty continued.
"I know, I'm just worried that he has an accomplice. The **** this time is actually not valuable. I also brought you Uncle Xu and Uncle He out, mainly because I want you to follow them to see the world. Yu Qing , In fact, you don’t have to insist on being an escort. It would be great to marry a husband and raise children if you inherit this **** agency. Hey, I really shouldn’t have let you practice martial arts in the first place.”
"I don't want to marry those people. Either they are so weak that they can't even beat me with one hand, or they are vulgar and disgusting." He Yuqing said while secretly looking at the person over there. If a young man in green clothes doesn't have the power to tie a chicken, but he looks like that young man, I will admit it, and the result will be nothing but crooked melons and cracked dates.
"Uh, girl Yuqing, you also found out that there is something wrong with the young man in green?" Xu Ying saw He Yuqing secretly looking over there, and said happily, "He is very capable."
"Huh?" He Yuqing was confused.
Seeing this, He Dahai said to her: "Although the rain was so loud that I couldn't hear whether he used Qinggong when he came over, but when the young master came in, I observed his steps and movements. It was definitely Lianjiazi."
"So, that young master may be a master?" He Yuqing said happily.
"Hey, I'm worried that he and the little Taoist priest are in the same group. I've seen too many tricks like deliberately not saying hello." He Dahai said.
"No, no, no, that young master has a good-looking appearance, and he seems to be a good person at first glance. That little Taoist priest had a sinister look on his face. Just now he was secretly looking at me, wishing he could stab me with a sword." He Yuqing defended.
"Hey, Yuqing, good looks have nothing to do with being a good person. I have seen a flower-picking thief who looked upright." He Xiangshan said with a smile.
"Uncle He, that's different!"
The young man in green over there seems to have just arrived, at least unlike those in the **** agency, whose clothes are all dry and dripping with water. But while the escorts were discussing him, he moved slightly towards the fire, then sat cross-legged, and soon his body began to smell white.
When He Xiangshan's **** saw this, he sat up straight and said somewhat solemnly: "Boss, I think that young man's inner strength is deeper than yours."
He Dahai also said with a serious face: "Although I had some adventures and mastered the Eight Extraordinary Meridians at the age of forty, and I am considered a first-class master in the world, I am afraid I still cannot be like this young master. This can only be achieved by opening up several small meridians. As for whether it is higher, I don’t know.”
"What, he didn't start practicing Kung Fu in his mother's womb, right?" Xu Ying said in surprise.
"Hey, those qualified children from well-known sects and big families have had countless medicinal materials and secret recipes for them to use since childhood, not to mention profound secret books. They are much better than people like us. "He Dahai sighed.
He Yuqing said nothing at the side, looking over there with brilliant eyes.
After a while, the young man in green clothes was completely dry, and he got up and walked towards the **** agency.
