The sky was so dark that it was as if the entire cloud layer could be reached with one's hand. The rainwater slanted down in the strong wind, rushing down like a waterfall. There were dazzling thunder lights, and then the roaring thunder seemed to be less than ten meters away from the ground.
There was a sound at the end of the meter.
Shi Xuan walked slowly in the darkness with a package on his back. Although he had cast the Rain Avoidance Technique and the Night Vision Spell on himself, and his deep internal strength made the Qing Gong more brilliant and lasting, the harsh environment was still
Shi Xuan found 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 in his previous life
It's the same as when traveling, especially when I stand alone by the river and see the majestic scene of the rolling river coming from the west, I feel like the world is vast and I am alone. It's not that Shi Xuan has never seen the Yangtze River in his previous life, but now
This river is at least twice as wide, majestic and breathtaking.
For Shi Xuan, the matter of cultivating Taoism is to seek immortality and freedom. So, since no matter what, he has to go around to search for the immortal way, and no matter how fast he travels, it will not take more than a few days, so that he can be more free and comfortable.
Why not? To cultivate the Tao is not to become a piece of stone.
Originally, Shi Xuan planned to take a boat to Chuzhou. It would be a great pleasure to have the river breeze blowing from the bow of the boat and eat river fish in the boat. However, while traveling, he traveled around and inquired about the legends of immortals. When he arrived at Linshui Mansion on the edge of the river, he had already
It was June, and we encountered the first heavy rain of the year. The river had already risen quite a lot, and the boats on the river were afraid to go upstream. Shi Xuan had no choice but to wait in the city. He stayed there 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 walked up the river, preparing for the day when the heavy rain stopped completely and he could switch to a boat. Unexpectedly, when he went out today, there was still a breeze and no rain. Shi Xuan walked until the evening.
Before and after leaving the hotel, he was preparing to spend the night 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 wild. Although he had Taoism by his side, it was not comfortable, so he took the risk
Yu walked forward, but he didn't see anyone after walking for a long time. Shi Xuan even doubted whether he had gone the wrong way. This was the tragic end of not having a map to buy. You have to know that in similar eras, maps are everywhere.
It is a highly confidential item.
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 movement and night.
He was amazed by the ease and ease of the day. Shi Xuan continued walking for another half an hour, and finally saw a fire flickering in the distance ahead, and he 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, they were both at the end of the world.
It’s raining people.
However, the existence of the ruined temple reminded Shi Xuan of countless martial arts novels and ghost novels. Are there peerless martial arts masters waiting for me to become my disciples, or is there sister Nie Xiaoqian waiting for me to save? In his wild thoughts, Shi Xuan has already embarked on the journey.
Steps, 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 are only two people sitting around a fire far away from the ruined Buddha statue, a young man in blue clothes and a handsome face, and the one beside him who looks like
A boy in an azure robe looks like a book boy. Under the Buddha statue, there are three fires very close to each other. It is full of people. It seems that there are nearly twenty people, all dressed in neat gray uniforms.
There were several flags leaning against the Buddha statue, with the words "I am Wu Weiyang", "Praise to the Escort Agency", etc. It seemed that this group was a group of escorts.
As soon as Shi Xuan entered the door, the people at the escort 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's senses
Look, they didn't let down their guard at all, but this is normal. As escorts, it's a good thing to be vigilant. On the other hand, the young master in Tsing Yi didn't show any concern to Shi Xuan at all. He just watched his book boy roasting dry food. He didn't know.
Did he hear Shi Xuan's footsteps walking towards the ruined temple a long time ago, or was he just an arrogant person who looked down upon others?
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 would like to show off to the Escort Bureau and congratulate Dahai. There is no need for the little Taoist to be polite."
"After saying that, he sat down again, and it seemed that he didn't intend to invite Shi Xuan to come over and have a fire with him.
Only then did Shi Xuan realize 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 escort uniform.
The young master in Tsing Yi 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, and then
With his back to the people on both sides, he chanted a spell and made a fire. Shi Xuan didn't bring any flint or anything like that.
After finishing it, he sat cross-legged by the fire. This environment was not suitable for visualization and Qi movement, so Shi Xuan had to close his eyes to rest, but his keen senses enveloped the entire ruined temple.
Although there were nearly twenty people in the escort office, there were actually only four people sitting in the middle group. One of the fierce-looking escort chiefs whispered: "Chief escort chief, I think there is a big problem with that little Taoist priest. So,
It rained heavily, but I was only a little bit wet."
Another ordinary-looking escort 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, I suspected that this little Taoist priest had been hiding near here before."
The ordinary-looking escort 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." Seeing this, He Dahai hurriedly
Interject first.
"Dad, that little Taoist priest doesn't look very powerful. Let's just pay attention." The arrogant beauty continued.
"I know, I'm just worried that he has an accomplice. The escort this time is actually not valuable. I also brought you Uncle Xu and Uncle He out, mainly because I wanted you to follow them to see the world. Yuqing, in fact, you
You don’t have to be an escort. If you inherit this escort agency, it would be great to marry a husband and raise children. 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 beat me with one hand, or they are vulgar and disgusting." He Yuqing said while secretly looking at the young man in green over there.
, if you don't have the power to tie a chicken, but you look 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 the young man in green has a problem?" Xu Ying saw He Yuqing secretly looking over there, and said happily, "He is very capable."
"Ah?" 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. He was definitely a practicing master."
.”
"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 has 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 Tsing Yi over there seemed to have just arrived. At least, unlike the escorts, his clothes were all dry and water was dripping from his Tsing Yi. However, when the escorts were discussing him, he moved slightly towards the fire.
He moved and then sat down cross-legged. After a while, his body started to smell white.
When He Xiangshan's bodyguard saw this, he sat up straight and said somewhat solemnly: "Boss, I think that young master's inner strength is deeper than yours."
He Dahai also said with a serious face: "Although I had some adventures, I have mastered the eight extraordinary meridians at the age of forty, and I am considered a first-class master in the world, but I am afraid I still cannot be like this young master. This is at least
It 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 Qigong since he was still in his mother's womb, right?" Xu Ying said in surprise.
"Hey, those well-qualified children from big sects and big families have had countless medicinal materials and secret recipes for them to use since childhood, not to mention profound secrets. They are much better than people like us." He Dahai
sighed.
He Yuqing was silent and looked over there with colorful eyes.
After a while, the young man in green clothes was completely dry, and then he stood up and walked towards the escort office.
ps: I have caught up with the progress. I will resume two updates a day, one at noon and one at night.
