Chapter 257 Before the Rainy Day
“I took a strange escort, and the distance was short, just to the side of Gray Mountain.
“I saw that the distance was short, and Ling Ling always only After a day's calculation, and I was free at the time, I planned to help him handle this matter personally. But I’m not stupid either. In the end, there must be something evil about this kind of uncharacteristic thing, so I asked more questions.
"The rice merchant then told me that there was a dazzling white light next to the Gray Mountain, which attracted many quacks. He felt that the quacks were dirty, and the goods he transported were very important. Yes, just come to me to check it in.
"After agreeing, we acted as expected and delivered the goods to him. I didn't encounter any strange things along the way, and the goods were delivered smoothly.
"It's also my fault that I was greedy at the time and became curious about the white light. Relying on the skills you taught me, I just thought about going in and taking a look.
"After arriving at the foot of Gray Mountain, I wanted to use my skills to go in and have a look. Look, but a few charlatans immediately stopped me. They told me that there was a heavy fog in the Gray Mountain, which was very weird. If I went in rashly, I might not be able to get out.
"At that time, I went over to take a look. My dear, I happened to see evil lights appearing in the heavy fog!"
When he said this, Liu Laizi also showed a little fear on his face. His expression seemed to be recalling something horrifying:
“A burst of pure black suddenly rose from the entire fog. The color was like a piece of cloth soaked in ink, blocking my eyes. , can't see clearly at all.
"I stared at the blackness, and I just felt like my soul was about to be sucked into it. I always felt that if I looked at it for a few more seconds, it would be swallowed up, and I would be scared away with nothing left."
After hearing what Liu Laizi said, Zuo Chen frowned slightly.
I'm afraid the thieves have already started taking action.
Looking at the sky, it was still dark clouds in the afternoon, and it looked like it was going to rain again.
Sheep was being slaughtered in the escort office, and it was very lively. According to Daliang's cooking method, it would probably take another hour and a half to cook this meal.
Time should be enough.
After thinking for a while, he simply stood up and said to Liu Lezi with a smile:
"Guard leader, I will go out first and come back later. I will definitely be in time for dinner."< br>
“Ah? What is the Taoist master doing?”
“The Taoist temple is nearby, so naturally I have to go back and take a look first, and sweep away the dust inside to avoid getting any dirt inside. , affecting the mood.”
"Oh." Although Liu Laizi nodded, he felt strange in his heart.
Zuo Chen left early in the morning and late in the day, but he left after hearing about the trouble in Huishan.
Is this going back to Gray Mountain?
There is a disaster over there, can Taoist Commander really come back in such a short time?
He asked again:
"Taoist Master, do you need me to accompany you?"
"No, there is no one in the Taoist temple. I just want to go back and stay for a while."
Zuo Chen comforted Liu Leizi who did not understand the truth. , Liu Leizi had some suspicions in his mind, but in the end he suppressed them in his heart and did not say anything out loud.
Caiyi saw Zuo Chen was about to leave, so he stood up in a hurry and followed him:
"Taoist Master."
"Wait for me here with Mr. Donkey first."
"Taoist Master, I have already been able to generate my own innate energy."
"I'm afraid the opponent's methods this time are similar to those in the Sea of Bitterness. .”
Caiyi was a little disappointed.
I thought I had made great progress, but facing a strong opponent, I still couldn't help.
It was also very clear that going ahead would only hold him back, so he could only nod his head.
Zuo Chen smiled and rubbed Cai Yi's head:
"Don't be sad. Along the way, my aunt's reputation of helping the world and saving people is not fake. But now there are some The evil thieves came here before, and they just brought some capital. Your qualifications and abilities are not much better than them?"
Caiyi felt that Zuo Chen was bragging a bit...
After giving Caiyi a few more words, Zuo Chen suddenly slapped his forehead, took out the golden boy from his sleeves.
Since Jade Girl absorbed the flame last time, the two little guys seemed to have been stimulated by something, and they all fell into a deep sleep. It seemed that they would not be able to wake up for a while.
Zuo Chen still doesn’t know what will happen to these two little guys after they wake up, but it’s just that when he touches them recently, they feel a little fleshy.
After handing the two little guys to Caiyi, Caiyi also held them with both hands. He didn’t know where to put them. He had no choice but to find a small blanket and put them there. The two of them were wrapped up and finally put on the cart behind Mr. Donkey.
"But keep an eye on the two of them, I'm leaving first."
smiled, then turned and left, found a deserted place, took out the kettle, and protected the clouds The fog followed the rising clouds and headed directly towards the Gray Mountain.
Ji Xiaoyu didn't know what Zuo Chen wanted to do, but seeing that the sister he had just met in the past two days was a little disappointed, he leaned over and asked:
"How long will it take for the Taoist Master to come back?"
"It won't take long."
Caiyi regained her composure and spoke in a calm tone.
... Little Huanxi walked up the mountain step by step along the bluestone steps that were already covered with layers of weeds.
He walked slowly, as if appreciating the beautiful scenery above the gray mountain.
At this moment, his left hand is dark, holding a bone mace. Just looking at his palm seems to be taken away, and it seems to fall into an abyss.
Being in a large formation, he should not have any real energy in his body, but now thick waves are rolling around him.
There is no doubt that the true energy is surging!
He used some tricks to circumvent the restrictions of this formation!
The boss was humming a tune, obviously in a good mood.
Soon, he came to the end of the long road.
This is an extremely simple residence, with a small courtyard made of wood and paper, and a house made of thatch. You can see a chicken coop in the courtyard, but now there is no living thing in it.
When I entered it, I saw that it had everything except tables, chairs and benches for entertaining guests.
"Those who live in seclusion don't like visitors. This is true. There is not even a table or chair to receive guests."
I searched the yard and it didn't take long. The boss I found what I was looking for:
It was a simple grave made of stones, soil and small wooden boards.
There wasn’t even a name written on the wooden board, it just stood there all alone.
However, the area around the small grave is clean. The weeds have been specially cleared away, leaving a large flat area, which shows how attentive the owner who once lived here was.
Looking at the grave in front of him, the boss fell into silence. After a long time, he sighed:
"Old guy, long time no see. I originally thought that a person with such great ability as you would never come after eating." Those who come over will definitely be cut with one knife, and the roots of the body will not be damaged. It took me some time to think of the resurrection method, but I didn’t expect that you would still be lying here.”
He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the grave, but immediately, something flashed above the grave. A dazzling white light emitted, and a line of green smoke suddenly rose from the boss's fingertips.
The fingertips of his completely blackened palms have been shaved off, twisting and climbing like liquid.
"Haha, there are still such methods in the sealing formation, I'm afraid it's the handiwork left by your master."
With a sigh, the palm of my hand recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye:
"Back then, you said that what I did was unjust, but after all this time, I am still carefree in this world, but you are already dead. Why are you lying in a grave somewhere else? "
"Your master doesn't want to go down the mountain, so he just wants to deal with the Buddha by himself. I have already advised you to do this, but you still don't do it. I don’t know if I can close my eyes now.”
The boss put his hand in his arms and lifted his head out of his seemingly flat black robe. After flipping through it, he took out a wine gourd, turned over and sat next to the grave, and put the mace on the ground:
“I went out when I was young. I was poor and couldn’t afford to drink wine, so I was greedy. After taking this sip, I sneaked behind the winery and drank three big gulps into the wine vat that had not yet been brewed. As a result, I was so drunk that I almost fell into the wine vat and drowned.
"Later, when I became successful and became capable, people around me welcomed me and gave me good food, drinks, wine and food. Beautiful women all took the initiative to treat me with it. I also tasted a lot of good wine, and I felt that The lack of sourness makes it unpalatable, so I sent someone to find someone else’s lees.
“I’m going to toast you with this drink today. Don’t think this wine doesn’t taste good down here. "
After saying that, he sprinkled the wine in the wine gourd in front of the grave, watching the wine seep into the soil little by little, soaking the ground.
After doing this, the boss Then he stood up, smiled at the grave and said:
"You often say that your master is unparalleled in the world, and he is the best true king. Even our Sanjue Taoist friend said that he is the best in the world. Only a few top true kings who have escaped can fight him, but now he asks me to fight him, which is really embarrassing for me.
"Old guy, you just drank my wine, you should give me some help, right?"
Stretched out his palm again and touched the tombstone again.
The formation next to the tombstone lit up again, but the poured wine turned into darkness, and in the blink of an eye, it climbed up this layer of protection.
When the boss' palm touched the formation, his wrist emitted billowing smoke again, but this time, it failed to stop him in the end.
His palm pressed against the ordinary formation.
In just one second, the boss's hand was ejected.
He was pale and breathing heavily, but there was joy in his eyes.
Got it!
The remaining thoughts!
The person in the grave is completely dead and there is no possibility of resurrection.
But for a person who practices this way, even if he dies, he will definitely leave something behind.
"Old guy, now I can use the magic method, and I have my wife in my hand, and I have the three enlightenment Taoism in me. I should be able to use your thoughts to confuse my Taoist mind. What a wonderful card! I am at the card table. Go ahead, I've won 90% of the victory!
"Just wait, I'll send him down to keep you company soon!" ”
The boss turned and left, leaving only the grave quietly in place.
It was like an old man watching with cold eyes, staring at the boss’s back and watching him go away.
It's like laughing at someone in the rain for not overestimating their abilities.
