As the sun sets in the west, the silhouettes of old people are drawn up in the mottled old alleys!
When the Taoist stood in front of Bao Li Ke's door again, the boy who was still in the rocking chair was already busy scrubbing, kneading dough, making fire, steaming...
No matter whether it is the boy wearing a white scarf or the old shopkeeper lying on the bamboo chair, there is no change at all. A hundred years have passed, and the passage of time does not seem to have affected the two of them.
Leave no trace behind.
In front of the counter, the bitter old man whom the waiter spoke of saw Kong Laosan arriving and jumped up from his rocking chair. He was about to say something when he suddenly sniffed his nose, and his cheerful old face suddenly darkened.
A lot. Just when Kong Laosan was confused by the other party's attitude, the old man snorted coldly, "Have you been to the old ghost's place?!"
Although it was a question, it was in an extremely affirmative tone.
"Old ghost? You mean Gu Fangzhai? Haha, I just came out of there!"
Hearing what the other party said, Kong Laodao was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and nodded, but there was a hint of doubt on his face, "How did Mr. Kong know that Kong had been to Gufangzhai?"
"Hmph, you can't fake the smell of those old ghosts. I can smell them even when they turn into ashes. Come with me!"
As the old man said this, he took the first step towards the inside. Seeing this, Kong Laosan was still a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything more and walked away without saying a word.
"Tell me, if you have anything to ask, just ask!"
As soon as he sat down, the old man took the lead and spoke, and there seemed to be some other flavor in his voice.
"Oh? Shouldn't we negotiate the price first?"
Kong Laosan was slightly startled and said in surprise.
"Haha, take it! This "Magic Sky Mirror" is my Bao Li Ke's token. No matter what doubts you have in the future, as long as I, Bao Li Ke, know about it, you can tell me for free!"
As the old man spoke, a small mixed yellow order appeared in his hand at some point. It was half the size of a palm and looked like an unrolled scroll. The dark sky and purple sun inside were hazy and invisible. He tossed it lightly and landed on Kong Laosan.
In arms.
After rubbing the small order in his hand twice, the Taoist's face remained as usual, but there was a hint of doubt hidden in the depths of his pupils. After half a cup of tea, he sighed softly, "I hope the old gentleman can tell you the truth, why do you treat me like this?"
Take care of yourself?"
The Taoist said, staring straight into the other person's eyes, as if he would not give up until he got the answer.
"Zhaofu? Hehe, you are wrong about this. If I had no choice, how could I fall in love with a golden elixir boy like you?"
The old man shook his head, and then laughed at himself, "Since the demonic tribulation thirty thousand years ago, we demon spirits abandoned in the human world have been abandoned existences. If no one helps, it is impossible to return to the demon world alone. The reason why we were chosen
You, the only reason is just because you are one of the few people who know about our existence."
"Oh? So that's what happened!"
Kong Laosan thought for a while, with a look of surprise on his face, but as his eyes flickered, he said lightly, "So, in addition to Kong, some other living beings who know your existence have also been given away."
"Magic Sky Mirror"?"
"This is natural. As long as we can take us back to the devil world, it is reasonable to pay some reward. If you have anything to ask, just ask!"
Seeing the old man's frank and honest look, the last trace of doubt in Kong Laosan's heart slowly dissipated.
"Haha, that's it. Thank you very much, sir. Kong came here mainly to find some clues. I wonder where I can find the "Huanyuan Golden Marrow"?"
The Taoist was not polite and spoke directly.
"Huanyuan Golden Marrow?"
The old man seemed to be very surprised. He was slightly startled when he heard the name. He looked Kong Laosan up and down and was surprised. "If you hadn't mentioned this name, I would have almost forgotten that this world was once visited by the Buddha."
The coveted mountain has even been built in Mount Sumeru. Haha, it’s a pity that I came a little late. If I could witness the original battle with my own eyes, it would be a worthwhile trip..."
The old man replied with a longing look on his face, and then shook his head, "It is easy to deal with other spiritual materials of heaven and earth, but the "Huanyuan Golden Marrow", in addition to some that can be found in the Jinshan Yuan Core at the bottom of Mount Xumi,
It’s simply not possible anywhere else.”
"Mount Sumeru? It is said that the center of the vast ocean is the Mount Sumeru where the Buddha was originally transformed and cast?"
Hearing this name, Kong Laosan was slightly startled and said in surprise.
"Oh? It seems that you have also heard some secrets, which are good and good. However, the Sumeru Mountain has collapsed as far back as the barbaric period. It is impossible to find its ruins with your current strength. Unless you can practice it.
At the pinnacle of this world, you spend a lot of effort to cross the vast and endless ocean, and spend a lot of time to carefully explore and search, so that there is a glimmer of possibility..."
Hearing this, Kong Laosan's old face became extremely serious, and he pursed his lips. Only at this moment did the Taoist understand why Xing Yunzi said that "if you want to refine the "Xuan Yuan Tao Body", you can only rely on luck."
”.
But the next moment, the Taoist seemed to have thought of something, his eyes moved slightly, "Since it is unique to Mount Xumi, sir, do you think there will be "Huanyuan Golden Marrow" in the pagoda that is about to be opened this time?"
"As for the pagoda... although it may not be big, you can still give it a try. The nine-story Pagoda of Wisdom. Hehe, if the "Huanyuan Golden Marrow" really exists, it can only be in the last three floors. Although I haven't yet
I’ve been there, and I’ve heard a lot about it. The last three floors are a test of more than just your strength. Once you step inside, it’s not an exaggeration to say that you’ll have a narrow escape!”
Hearing this, the Taoist nodded, and then sighed softly. His original intention of taking this opportunity to inquire about the Five Elements Essence faded away, "That's all, thank you sir for informing me. If Kong really can reach the last step, he will definitely think about it."
Do your best to help Mr. return to the devil world!"
Kong Laosan said solemnly, and when his voice fell, the old man laughed, "Okay, okay, with your guarantee, I can rest assured."
As he spoke, the whole person disappeared without a trace in a flash of rays of light.
After leaving Bao Li Ke, Kong Laosan transformed into Wen Yan and walked aimlessly in the alley. With his starry eyebrows and jade face, and his purple robe, he exuded a distant and indifferent temperament, as if he was walking outside the picture scroll.
People, quietly admiring the watercolor world in front of them.
Old alleys and streets, paper lanterns, children’s laughter, neighbors’ nagging...
Everything is like pen and ink deep in the memory, but in this plain and self-sufficient scene, I feel like an outsider, unable to blend in no matter what.
After walking through three alleys, just when the Taoist soul was wandering, a burst of noise suddenly came from the end of the alley, shattering the originally silent scroll into pieces.
After coming back to his senses, the Taoist glanced at him from afar, sighed softly, and was about to escape through the air when something suddenly appeared. His eyes moved, and a look of extreme surprise flashed across his face, and he unconsciously moved towards the quarrel.
Go on foot.
"Ten low-grade clear water talismans, one medium-grade spirit-gathering talisman, a total of one hundred and forty spirit stones, which can be exchanged into "dime coins" for a total of one thousand four hundred. The price agreed upon at the beginning will not be a penny less. Hurry up and get it for me.
come out!"
In front of her eyes was the appearance of a middle-aged woman. There were already many wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, but her skin was fair and beautiful, which slightly suppressed the traces of time. Behind the woman, there was an octogenarian, a middle-aged man, some
He followed the woman cautiously, with a deep fear on his face.
"Haha... I won't talk nonsense to you. There are a hundred spiritual stones in total. Can I sell them?"
Opposite the three of them, a young man in blue robe said angrily, waved his hand, with an obvious look of disdain on his face, "A foundation-building cultivator must find a secular mortal. Nowadays,
He is getting old, and even his eyebrows and beards have turned gray. You are still a good girl. You don't think it's embarrassing, but I think it's embarrassing. If you don't want to sell it, get out of here and don't delay the business of our shop!"
As the young man spoke, his breath suddenly came out, and the breath of a foundation-building cultivator was revealed without reservation.
Upon noticing this scene, the originally angry-looking woman's expression froze, and there was a bit of struggle in her eyes. Finally, she picked up the bag on the ground, pulled it hard, and squeezed into the crowd with the two people behind her and disappeared without a trace.
As the woman left, the people watching the commotion gradually dispersed. Among the crowd, a young man with a crown of jade walked towards the young man, chuckled and said, "I just heard that the woman seemed to
I’m not a stranger here, so if I know something, please tell me directly!”
The young man said, throwing out a few spirit stones...
Two hours later, a ray of green light broke through the void and sped towards the Sanbao Sea Tower. In the ray of light, the Taoist's face showed no joy or sadness, but there was an extremely complicated expression hidden deep in his pupils.
