Chapter 39 The Taoist Priest
'Ding-dang! '

"Wheat ointment, do you want wheat ointment?"

On Guyangcheng Street.

The crisp sound of the gong caught Survivor's attention.

He heard the sound and looked.

I saw the salesman beating the gong, using the burden in front of him as a table, pouring the syrup from the iron bucket on the bamboo slices, and drawing a sugar monkey neatly.

This shopkeeper is very good at observing words and expressions.

Seeing that Shenghuo was wearing a Yin-Yang Tai Chi fish robe, the material was not ordinary at first glance, so he said respectfully, "My lord, do you want this sugar monkey?"

"How did you sell it?" Survival took out the coins.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and hurriedly handed out the sugar monkey: "It's not expensive, just two dollars."

"Row."

Survival handed out the long strip of coins in his hand, took the sugar monkey and took a bite.

Um.
The taste of maltose.

Pretty sweet.

While eating sugar monkeys, he wandered the streets of Guyang City, only to hear continuous yelling coming from his ears.

"Hey~ gourd, hey, rock candy~, rock candied haw, hey!"

"Shui Tao, does anyone want a water peach?"

In addition to shouting, some literati who set up stalls selling calligraphy and painting will sit upright in place, quietly waiting for customers to inquire.

Looking at the fireworks in the world around him, Cheng Huo suddenly felt as if he had passed away.

It's as if all the things I experienced in Shenshu Village, Xuantianzong, and Ghost Mother City all happened in my previous life.

So aimlessly wandering around.

After Survival finished eating Sugar Monkey, he suddenly saw dozens of people forming a circle in front of him, making a lot of noise, so he came up with a trace of curiosity.

Among the crowd, there was a tattered Taoist priest bowing to a peach seller with a big smile on his face.

The peaches sold in Guyang City are called 'water peaches' and are a local specialty.

The water peach is white in the blue, red in the white, and looks very good.

Looking at the appearance of the Taoist, it seems that he wants to beg a peach from the peach seller.

The peach seller refused, so a quarrel broke out between the two parties, which attracted a crowd of melon eaters including Shenghuo.

With his embryo-building practice, he could feel that the tattered Taoist priest was also a practitioner like him.

But it may be because of some kind of secret technique.

Although this Taoist priest possesses a high level of self-cultivation, it is impossible to tell what level he is in at a glance.

I don't know why he asked a mortal for peaches.
In order to find out what kind of medicine the Taoist was selling in the gourd, Shenghuo threw a coin to the peach seller and said, "I paid the Taoist's peach money for him."

Seeing someone buying peaches for him, the Taoist turned around.

He looked up and down at Shenghuo, and bowed to him: "Thank you."

The priest looked around.

Seeing that the onlookers were all looking at him, he continued: "Everyone, since someone invited me to eat peaches, then I will also borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and invite everyone to taste the peaches I planted!"

Hearing this, the peach seller said angrily: "Since you planted peaches yourself, why did you keep pestering me and making fun of me just now?"

The Taoist smiled and said nothing.

He gnawed the peach in his hand in a few mouthfuls, and when there was only a peach pit left, he smiled and said: "I just asked you for a peach, mainly because of the peach pit."

As he said that, he looked at a nearby vendor selling steamed buns, and asked him for a pot of boiling water, saying that he wanted to use the boiling water to plant his peach pits.

The steamed bun dealer also liked to watch the excitement, so he readily lent the pot and boiling water to the Taoist priest.

The Taoist buried the peach pits in the cracks between the bluestone bricks and poured a whole pot of boiling water on them.

While pouring water, he said: "Everyone, look at me counting from one to three, the peach pits in this field can grow peach trees and bear fruit!"

This.
Survival looked at the Taoist priest with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Some of the onlookers who believed the Taoist's words also showed a shocked expression, and watched the Taoist perform with great anticipation.

"one!"

The Taoist began to count.

"two!"

"three!"

When I counted to "three", I saw that there was really a tree bud coming out of the cracks in the bluestone bricks where the peach pits were buried.

The tree buds grew rapidly, and in just a moment, they grew to a full height of a person. The branches and leaves on them were lush, and they blossomed and bore fruit at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a while, the tree was covered with peaches.

The onlookers were amazed when they saw it, and stretched out their hands to pick the peaches on the tree.

Out of curiosity, Cheng Huo also took one off.

He broke the peach apart with his hands, and suddenly frowned: "Why is the peach empty inside?"

"It's really empty!"

More than just surviving.

The rest of the passers-by who picked the peaches soon discovered the strangeness of the peaches, so they all looked at the Taoist priest who planted the peaches.

"Really empty?"

After discovering that the peaches he planted were empty peaches, the Taoist priest showed a distraught expression.

He seemed to have been drained of all the strength in his body, and he slumped on the ground suddenly, his eyes were dull and lifeless.
at the same time.

Out of curiosity, Survival reached out and broke off a branch of the peach tree.

The branch was as light as thin paper.

Survival was thoughtful, so he exerted a little force.

The force was not too heavy, but there was a crisp sound of 'click', and the branch of the peach tree was crushed to pieces on the spot.

Chenghuo laughed and said: "Unexpectedly, even this kind of peach tree is fake."

It's better if you don't say that.

Hearing what he said, the Taoist priest lost his mind even more.

He glanced at the peach tree that failed to 'plant', became more and more dejected, and didn't speak, just silently pushed the crowd away from the street.

Watching his leaving back, Cheng Huo hurriedly followed.

In front.

Not long after the Taoist priest walked, he suddenly turned a corner and got into a secluded alley, then turned around and bowed to Shenghuo who was hiding in the dark: "Fellow Daoist, what's the matter?"

Survival was greatly surprised: "Can you tell that I am a monk?"

"can not tell."

The Taoist explained: "But from the clothes you're wearing, and the way you walk and talk, I can guess that you must be not an ordinary person."

"Then you are quite accurate." Chenghuo saluted the Taoist priest and introduced himself: "My name is Tieniu, from Xingzhou."

"Xingzhou?"

The Taoist was taken aback when he heard the words: "Are you from Xingzhou, which is outside the 'Wanli Spiritual Light Array'?"

As he said that, he also reported his family name: "I am Lezheng Xunyi, a Taoist priest of Daoism."

Taoism?
Survival showed doubts.

Seeing his expression, Taoist Le Zheng said: "If this is the first time for Taoist friends to come to Leizhou, then it is understandable that you don't know about my Taoism."

"My Daoism is actually similar to your sect that believes in the 'Mother of Pain', except that we believe in the 'Mitian Immortal Venerable'."

Mi Tianxian Zun?
Shenghuo secretly kept this title in his heart.

He didn't care about the Taoism that the Taoist said, but was only interested in the spell of 'planting peaches'. He immediately expressed his intention: "That. Looking for a friend, you just planted a peach tree with boiling water. Is it a spell?"

"What? Do you want to learn?"

Xun Yidao: "This spell can only be learned by our Daoists. If you really want to learn it, I can recommend you to the main altar of our Daoists in Leizhou."

"Then."

As he said that, Xun Yi added another sentence: "If you want to join our Daoism, the prerequisite is that you must not be a member of Daoism."

"But I think you don't look like a monk, so there should be no big problem at this point."
