In fact, Zhao Ran was not far away. Relying on his sharp eyes and ears, he rode the old donkey out to a small hill. He estimated that it was about a hundred feet away, and then quietly got off the donkey's back. At the same time, he pointed at the old donkey to the south, asking it to continue.
Walking forward, he jumped onto a big tree with canopy of branches and leaves, hid in it, and looked carefully at the place where the fight had just taken place.
As soon as I opened my heavenly eyes, I saw the old woman turning out from behind the mountain col in the distance, holding a stick in her left hand and holding the crazy girl in her right hand, walking towards the northeast. Looking at her tremblingly, she didn't seem to lift her feet a few times, but she turned over in the blink of an eye.
Climbing two small hills, it was clearly the advanced earth escape technique described by Zhu Qigu - shrinking the ground into an inch!
Zhao Ran had completely given up the idea of creeping up this time. He remembered that Zhu Qigu once said that senior brother Tong Baimei had been practicing for more than eighty years before he could get a glimpse of the door that combines reality and reality. He barely touched the edge of the escape ground and saw the old woman in the distance.
The Taoist skills of escaping from the earth are so light and easy. Isn't it much stronger than Tong Baimei?
Zhao Ran couldn't help but compare it with Chu Yangcheng. He always felt that the old woman seemed to be inferior to Chu Yangcheng just based on her skills. As for the "ancestor" the old woman mentioned... Zhao Ran couldn't think deeply about it.
Already.
After the old woman's figure completely disappeared, Zhao Ran took a deep breath, jumped 9 times from the tree, and turned back to chase the old donkey.
Zhao Ran and Lao Donkey, one was silent and the other had drooped ears, both in very bad moods. Zhao Ran was still unwilling to give up, so he went back to the place where the three ugly men of Qionglai died yesterday to check for a long time, but did not find any clues, and finally just
Able to ride a donkey out of the mountains.
During this trip, Zhao Ran gained and lost. The death of Qionglai Sanchou temporarily removed the obstacle in front of him, but because he did not find out the mastermind behind it, hidden dangers still existed. A fight to the death with that crazy girl,
The talismans and elixirs on his body have been consumed a lot, but he feels that his cultivation has improved greatly. This is a rare joy. But he has made an enemy for no reason, which is another hidden worry. I don't know what the old woman will do.
How to deal with the crazy girl? Zhao Ran very much hoped that the old woman would kill the crazy girl, but he felt that this possibility was unlikely.
After returning to Junshan, Zhao Ran went directly to Xiaojunshan and called Master Five Colors out.
"Little Taoist, are you back?" Master Wuse didn't know whether he had just woken up or just recovered from practice. He flapped his wings and kept yawning, looking lazy.
Zhao Ran said angrily: "Master, what will Pindao do to you?"
"Okay, what's wrong?"
"Are you okay?" Zhao Ran asked angrily: "It's just 'okay'? Isn't it 'very good'?"
"Okay, geez, good, good, good, good."
"Then Pindao said goodbye to you and said he was going to Daqing Mountain. Why didn't you remind Pindao that there are great experts in charge of that mountain?"
"Gee? You went to Daqingshan? You didn't tell me."
"Why didn't you say anything? Pindao said..."
"You said you wanted to go out, who knows where? Haha!"
"..."
"Remember? Haha! By the way, little Taoist priest, tell me, how did you escape from Daqingshan? The Lord of Qingshan didn't make things difficult for you?"
Zhao Ran was stunned and said: "The Lord of Qingshan?"
Master Wuse said: "We call him that. His specific name and appearance are rarely seen. However, two young Taoists, Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi, said that all Taoist sects in Sichuan Province have precepts before they go out of the mountains. No.
Entering the realm of Daqingshan. I heard that guy is very powerful, but I don’t know how advanced he is?”
Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment and sighed: "It is indeed powerful. I have met Pindao, the owner of Qingshan, and she is an old woman. However, she is still reasonable and does not embarrass Pindao much. He also gave Pindao a bottle of Gu Yuan Dan.
." As he spoke, he took out a small bottle, took out a pill, and threw it to the Five Color Master.
The five-color master took it, sniffed it, sipped it, closed his eyes and felt it for a moment, and praised: "What a wonderful elixir!"
Zhao Ran moved forward, looked at Master Wuse up and down, and asked cautiously: "Master, how do you like this medicine? Is it okay for you to take it?"
The Master of Five Colors asked in confusion: "Geez? What's wrong?"
Zhao Ran looked at the Master of Five Colors for a while, and saw that he was alive and kicking without any abnormality, so he also stuffed a pill into his mouth, and while eating it, he said: "It's okay. The old woman's origin is unknown, why did she send the pill?"
Can eat randomly..."
Master Wuse said angrily: "Little Taoist priest, are you using me to test the medicine?"
Zhao Ran explained: "Master has deep magic power, how can a mere pill be poisonous enough to defeat Master... Hey? Master, I promised not to do anything! Hey? Master, this is not a good thing for you... Master, there is something going on in Pindao Temple, please take the first step."
,see you later!”
Back at Junshan Temple, Jin Jiu, Guan Er, Lu Jin, Lin Shuangwen, Zhong Sanlang and others were all there, so they said goodbye to each other.
After hearing this, Jin Jiu consoled him: "Brother, don't be discouraged. Things in this world are never smooth sailing. The road is long and long, and I will go up and down..."
Zhao Ran glared: "Don't imitate me in speaking, and stop talking up and down, left and right, I don't need your comfort, go ahead and do what you have to do!"
Jin Jiu and others were relatively speechless, and retreated with their necks shrunk.
Zhao Ran came to the backyard and took out the thatched hut by the small pool. He looked around the broken thatched hut, looked left and right, but he didn't see any flowers, and he went in and out again.
After tinkering for a long time and burning a few fireworks charms, I finally gave up my patience to explore.
To be able to survive the crazy bombardment of the crazy girl and the fire dragon without any damage, this hut must not be ordinary. But with his eyesight, he didn't see any spiritual power on it, which was strange.
Looking at the hut, Zhao Ran thought of the sloppy old Zhang Laodao again. He didn't know where he had gone. It had been three years since they had been separated. Recalling the days when he and Lao Tao were together, he felt a little confused.
The fun of being silly seems to be carefree, but it is also carefree.
Zhao Ran wondered, could this old guy still be an expert? Looking at the appearance of this hut, although it was dilapidated, it seemed to be a treasure! Thinking of this, he quickly took out the broken fishing rod from the wrench, and the same
I can't see what's good about it, but there is no damage when stabbed with a flying sword, and there is no trace of ash when burned with flames.
Zhao Ran followed Zhang Laodao's previous fishing method and went straight into the pool, and instantly hooked up a big white fish.
This fishing rod is undoubtedly a good magic weapon. Zhao Ran is becoming more and more sure that there is something wrong with Zhang Laodao!
Taking back the hut and fishing rod, Zhao Ran re-entered the practice. This time he fought a life-and-death battle with the crazy girl in Daqing Mountain, which not only made him understand the practice more deeply, but also made him feel great about his own cultivation.
dissatisfied.
From the Taoist realm to the Taoist realm, it is necessary to condense the essence. This is something that Zhao Ran cannot think about for the time being. With Master Cai and his cheap master's decoctions and elixirs to make up for it, Zhao Ran should be satisfied, but as long as he
Thinking of the progress of Zhou Yumo, Zhu Zhimeng and others' cultivation, he was deeply worried. But there was no rush for this matter, so he could only resign himself to fate and wait for the opportunity. If the opportunity did not come, he could only accumulate it step by step.
Thinking of the geniuses in Huayun Pavilion and that crazy girl who looked so young, Zhao Ran could only shake his head helplessly.
During this fight, Zhao Ran also deeply realized the lack of magic power in the Qi Sea. Zhao Ran's magic power is actually not slow to improve. With the existence of Junshan Temple, as long as he, Jin Jiu and others continue to work hard, the people in the entire Junshan area
will continuously supply him with merit power. If you really want to talk about it, the improvement of his magic power is actually quite shocking - this is also the benefit of merit power cultivation. It is a pity that the objects he compares with are not good people, so it makes
I am quite depressed.
Of course, he is eager to carry out a larger-scale people's livelihood project to accelerate the increase of merit power again, but now he is a man of few words, and his influence is only in the Junshan area, so it is temporarily unthinkable.
Zhao Ran's practice focus these days has been on the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Dragon Great Forbidden Technique". During the battle in Daqing Mountain, he also wanted to use this Taoist technique. Unfortunately, the great forbidden art that he thought he had mastered was not found in the Daqing Mountain.
I didn't have time to use it in several hasty battles. After much deliberation, I still couldn't fully understand it.
After practicing for more than ten days, when Zhao Ran realized that his use of the Great Forbidden Technique had improved to a higher level, Jin Jiu reported that a Taoist priest who claimed to be Zhao Ran's friend came to visit him and was currently serving as Prime Minister in the Jade Emperor's Palace.
Zhao Ran was very puzzled. He didn't know many friends. They usually followed him to Junshan Temple, and his other half was still in Wujiyuan. Who was there that Jin Jiu didn't know?
When they came to the Jade Emperor Hall, they saw a Taoist priest in his thirties offering incense to the statue of the Jade Emperor. After he inserted the incense into the incense burner, he turned around and looked at Zhao Ran, and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Zhao, after many years,
