Although the sky is dark, the white sky makes the night look much brighter.
The Tutu Temple is located next to the stream, but the stream has long been frozen. There is no human habitation within a hundred miles, and the sky and the earth seem to be the same color, which makes people feel lonely.
A man who looked like an alchemist, carrying a girl on his back, was standing outside the ancestral hall.
Two vigilance guards stopped the alchemist, showing a vigilant look.
When Cao Peng came out of the ancestral hall and saw the alchemist's appearance clearly, he couldn't help being startled and blurted out: "Brother Xiaoxian, why are you here?"
"Junior Brother Cao!"
The alchemist saw clearly that it was Cao Peng and was immediately overjoyed.
He stepped forward quickly, and two Fei Ai wanted to step forward to stop him, but he saw that the alchemist did not know how to move. Before Fei Ai could stop him, he passed between the two people. Cao Peng saw clearly that the alchemist only
Just a change in rhythm made the obstruction of the two flying beasts useless. At the same time, there was a hint of horror in my heart, because behind the alchemist, I saw only a shallow footprint. The wind and snow passed by,
Did those footprints disappear in the blink of an eye... leaving no trace in the snow? Isn't this a bit too far-fetched?
In martial arts novels, scenes like this often appear. The so-called crossing the river with a reed and leaving no trace on the snow is a phenomenon that only occurs when martial arts attainments reach a peak. However, before this, Cao Peng always believed that the so-called walking on the snow left no trace.
The mark was made up by the novelist.
But I didn't expect that I would actually see a living example here today.
The alchemist was Cao Peng's cheap senior brother, the ancestor of Ge Hong, the later author of "Baopuzi", the famous Ge Xuan Ge Xianweng.
Almost two years ago, Ge Xuan met Cao Peng once and taught Cao Peng a set of the Seven Transformations of the White Tiger on Zuo Ci's behalf.
After that, this guy disappeared and there was no news from him.
Cao Peng didn't search deliberately because he was always a little afraid of Ge Xuan. But he didn't expect that he would meet Ge Xuan here on this snowy night. After not seeing each other for two years, Ge Xuan didn't look too big.
The changes don't even make you look older at all. Thinking about it, it doesn't seem strange... I am a Taoist who has successfully cultivated immortality. Although he may not be able to stay young forever, delaying it is not a problem.
No, it’s not about cultivating immortality!
It can only be said that he is a monk...
Cao Peng had learned about Ge Xuan's skills and knew that in terms of martial arts, not many people in the world could compare with him.
Martial arts practice is different from being strong in martial arts.
Regardless of whether it is Lu Bu or Guan Yu, they have mastered the art of killing.
The same is true for Cao Peng. Ge Xuan's martial arts focuses on personal practice, so if he really fights, he may not be able to defeat Lu Bu.
"Senior Brother Xiaoxian, why are you here?"
Cao Peng waved his hand to signal Xiang Hu and the other Fei Qi to calm down, and asked curiously.
Ge Xuan grinned, "Junior Brother Cao, if you have anything to say, can we go in and talk? You and I can withstand the wind and cold, but this little girl..."
Only then did Cao Peng notice the little girl behind Ge Xuan.
In fact, it is more accurate to call her a girl, because this little girl is only about five or six years old. She is a little thin, and her face seems to be slightly yellow due to malnutrition. She is wearing a flower coat that has been washed white.
It made her look pitiful.
Cao Peng blurted out: "Brother, is this your daughter?"
"Nonsense, my girl is now in Wu County, living with his grandfather."
As Ge Xuan spoke, he stepped up to the door of the ancestral hall. Cao Peng quickly turned aside to give way and walked into the ancestral hall with Ge Xuan...
Xia Houlan brought a bowl of dogwood porridge and gave it to the little girl to drink.
Ge Xuan sat down by the campfire. After looking up and down, he suddenly sighed softly, "Junior brother, I haven't seen you for two years, and my luck seems to be getting stronger."
Cao Peng couldn't see such an illusory thing as luck, nor did he know how to see it.
However, Ge Xuan said that he had strong luck, which was not flattering. So he just smiled and did not answer...
Ge Xuan didn't say anything else, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Pang Tong, who was meditating beside him.
"Huh?"
He couldn't help but be startled, and his fingers were flying in his sleeves to calculate.
After a moment, he looked towards Cao Peng again, with doubts in his eyes.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"it's wired!"
Ge Xuan shook his head gently, as if talking to himself: "If you look at it, junior brother, you should have died a few years ago, but you didn't want to live until now; and this young master's physiognomy seems to be even weirder. If
According to his physiognomy, there will be a bloody disaster before he reaches the age of thirty-six, and it will be a dead end. However, his physiognomy seems to have undergone some changes, and there seems to be life in the dead end.
The last time I watched Qi with you, I thought it was because I wasn't very good at understanding the Qi.
So I went into the mountains to find friends and try to improve my practice. As soon as I came out, I met another strange person... This young master, can you tell me your birth date and let me make another calculation?"
Pang Tong frowned and almost twisted together.
Anyone who hears others say that he is destined to die early will feel dissatisfied.
Cao Peng said quickly: "Shi Yuan, this is my senior brother Ge Xuan Ge Xian Weng. He is from Zuo Ci Zuo Xian Weng's sect. His Taoism is quite advanced."
"Afu actually worshiped Zuo Xianweng as his teacher?"
That Zuo Ci was not just an ordinary monk, he had a very high reputation in Jiangzuo.
There were several famous magic sticks in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and Zuo Ci was one of them. Cao Peng was not sure whether he was an immortal or not. Anyway, he had never met Zuo Ci... But the common people believed that Zuo Ci was an immortal with white bones and flesh.
The ability to bring the dead back to life.
At least Ge Xuan was not wrong when talking about Cao Peng.
This Cao Peng is not that Cao Peng. If Cao Youxue had not been reborn, perhaps that Cao Peng would have turned into a handful of loess.
Hearing that Ge Xuan was a disciple of Zuo Ci, Pang Tong couldn't help but feel in awe. At the same time, a trace of fear arose in his heart, and he quickly told his birth date.
Ge Xuan pinched his fingers and shook his head slightly after a moment.
"It's really weird... Your fate was originally a dead end, why did you reveal your life?"
"Please also ask the immortal to save me."
"It's not difficult to save you, but I have a message for you. I hope you will remember it: Don't go southwest in this life, otherwise there will be a bloody disaster."
Cao Peng shivered with excitement and looked at Ge Xuan in shock.
In history, didn't Pang Tong die while attacking Xichuan? And wasn't Xichuan located in the southwest?
In his previous life, Cao Peng had seen many fortune tellers, most of whom were liars. Is Ge Xuan also a liar? He was able to tell Pang Tong's fate with one word, and it was definitely not without purpose. Are there really gods in this world? Cao Peng
Peng didn't know... This was originally a confusing account, because no one had ever seen gods; but if there were no gods, then Cao Peng could not explain his situation.
Cao Peng started to feel a headache when he thought of these things.
He hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Brother, can you do the math for me again?"
"Yours can't be calculated."
"Why?"
"I don't know either... Junior brother, if you follow your physiognomy, you should have become a dead person long ago. But now, not only are you alive, but you also have strong luck, which surprises me. Senior brother, I am not very experienced, so
It’s hard to calculate. It is estimated that only my mentor can see the truth. When I go back this time, I plan to inform you about this matter. Then he will come to check your qi... However, according to your luck, if there is no disaster, you will definitely be a good person.
Bureau of longevity."
The so-called longevity bureau does not mean immortality, but longevity and longevity.
Cao Peng knew that he couldn't get anything out of him if he asked again, so he simply stopped dwelling on this issue...
Everyone was sitting around the campfire, and the little girl curled up in Ge Xuan's arms and fell asleep. Only then did Cao Peng ask about the little girl!
"She is the daughter of my good friend... My good friend's surname is Zhu. She is also a person who is good at magic and has good moral principles.
Two years ago, he calculated that he was destined to be doomed, so he called me to go. I wanted to help him, but in the end...he only left this girl, named Zhu Xia. But you also know that I am away all year round.
My father at home has already worked hard to raise my children. If I take her back again, I'm afraid... I just happened to meet you, so I want to trouble my junior brother and raise this daughter for me, how about it?"
Ge Xuan looked at Cao Peng with burning eyes and asked.
Cao Peng looked at Ge Xuan, then at the baby in his arms, and couldn't help but feel a little headache.
"This girl has the appearance of a queen."
Cao Peng couldn't help coughing after hearing this.
"Queen's phase?"
"It's just nobility...
As a Taoist, I talk about being upright and peaceful, and I am indifferent to fame and wealth, which is inconsistent with this noble spirit.
You also know that Jiangdong is not very peaceful now. With her appearance, there may be disaster. If she stays with you, she will be protected by your luck, and she will definitely be rich in the future. This is also my wish for her father.
I promise, I don’t want her to become an immortal, I just want him to be safe and prosperous for the rest of his life.”
Ge Xuan's words sounded a bit cloudy.
Cao Peng didn't quite understand the Queen's appearance, longevity bureau and the like, but he could vaguely hear another layer of meaning in Ge Xuan's words.
This little girl will be very rich in the future!
It is said that Cao Peng's luck will protect him, but actually he wants this girl's luck to protect Cao Peng?
This is originally a mutually reinforcing thing.
Cao Peng protects the little girl now, and the little girl can protect him in the future...
"Well...since senior brother has spoken, I have nothing to do. But I am going to Yingchuan this time, and it will probably take some time before I can go home.
Otherwise, please ask senior brother to make a hard trip and take her back to Xudu first?
My parents are both at home, and my father-in-law originally wanted to go to Yingyin with me, but because of some trivial matters, he is also at home, so he definitely agreed."
After hearing this, Ge Xuan smiled.
"Let her follow you... We are only a short distance away from Yingyin.
I still have important things to do and need to return to Jiangdong as soon as possible. If I go to Xudu, I'm afraid it will be delayed... Why not, let her follow you from now on. Zhu Xia has a cold temperament, so you can have more contact with her.
If she can accept you, please, junior brother!"
How could Cao Peng listen and think that Ge Xuan was deceiving?
Was he in a hurry to go home? Taking a little girl with him would be a burden after all, so...
After staring at Ge Xuan for a long time, Cao Peng suddenly smiled and said, "Well, since senior brother has spoken, how can I refuse? Let her follow me for the time being."
A smile immediately appeared on Ge Xuan's face...
