Chapter 86 Famous mountains and rivers, meet again by fate

Jietian City is not too big, and the uphill climb makes the streets and alleys complicated.

In the drizzle, Xu Yuan had one foot deep and one foot shallow like a drunkard. His long gown was soaked, and his eyes were empty and blurred, as if he was wandering outside.

A tall and thin figure followed furtively through a remote and uninhabited alley, almost jumping out and taking action several times.

After all, he was worried about being in the city, so he refrained from taking any action and followed him all the way to Jifei Alley, halfway up the mountain.

A big white goose jumped out of the thorn, stretched its neck and pecked fiercely.

The tall, thin man in black clothes and hat was startled, and he ducked back. Hearing the high-pitched cry of "goose", the man in black turned and ran away. He had already spotted the man tapping a courtyard gate in the alley.

The servant who opened the courtyard door hurriedly invited his temporary master in and shouted for hot water. The maids ran around in the rain to greet the master. The cold mansion and courtyard suddenly became lively and lively.

Xu Yuanchang, who was soaked all over, waved his hands to everyone, gently broke away from the maid's support, and walked towards the backyard.

A few broken pieces of silver were thrown into the hands of the servants and maids, and a faint voice came from them.

"Reward you all for working hard."

He was always generous with his actions. When he walked in, he suddenly remembered that he had invited Taoist Master Yanshan to have a drink today. He seemed to have forgotten to settle the bill, but it seemed good for the old Taoist Master to treat him to a meal.

"Thank you, master, for the reward. Thank you, master for the reward."

All the servants and maids smiled happily and bowed.

Xu Yuanchang walked into the backyard, and Liu Xianfeng emerged from the jade-green willow leaves, jumped onto his shoulder, and shouted in surprise: "Sir, how did you do this? What happened?"

"It's a good thing. I was told by the master today that I need to retreat for some time. Don't let them disturb me."

Xu Yuanchang laughed and said, the water vapor on his body was steaming. He walked through the bluestone path, stepped up the eaves steps, and walked into the quiet room where he practiced. His clothes had evaporated to dryness.

Liu Xianfeng stayed outside, watching the door close gently.

She felt that the young master seemed different from usual, but she couldn't tell what the specific difference was.

On the second day, it cleared up after the cold rain, but there were still wet traces of water remaining on the potholes on the bluestone slabs on the streets.

Sanpan Street is missing a blind and experienced fortune-telling stall.

A few days passed, but the fortune teller was nowhere to be seen. People from neighboring stalls asked each other whether something happened to the fortune teller?

But no one knew where the old man lived. A few days passed, and some people who carried burdens and sold food occupied the fortune-telling stall. As time went by, they took root and stopped.

The ordinary people in the city are busy trying to make ends meet, and occasionally they say: "Where did the ancient half-immortal go?"

At the end of October, a heavy snow covered the entire mountain city.

Wrapped in silver, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, which brings hardship to the poor.

Xu Yuanchang, who had been in seclusion for more than ten days, was wearing a thin long robe and was alone in a dark and quiet room. Three flying knives were circling and flying, and they were more agile and weird than before. A comfortable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After Taoist Master Yanshan used the word "Guan" to instruct him, he was able to achieve a perfect state of mind, and reached an advanced stage of cultivation. However, he did not climb the stairs to make a breakthrough. He felt that he lacked some accumulation.

Just when he was about to prepare to break through in one go, he stopped.

The second-story building is like building a foundation. Whether the foundation is solid or not will affect the height of practice in the future.

He decided to stay in the Qi-Entraining Realm for a while and not rush up the stairs.

It's a matter of time, why rush to take power.

If it were another casual cultivator, he would definitely seize the opportunity to break through to avoid long nights and dreams.

The Shenting Orifice opened up the sea of ​​consciousness. Although the range is small, he already has the consciousness that can only be used in the Solid Qi realm. He has learned the art of photographing objects and controlling objects. Within three to five feet, his flying knives are even more powerful and no longer full. Turn to attack with your knife throwing skills.

Along with his other spells, they also became more and more magical as the tide rose.

The biggest gain should be that the platform for inviting gods above the sea of ​​​​consciousness is much clearer. "The incarnation of the magical power Qimen". He has been able to cast a spell to summon a fuzzy incarnation to confuse others.

In fact, he has been passively practicing the "Liujia Qimen Transformation Technique" taught to him by Taoist Master Yanshan, and he has reached this point naturally. Thanks to the blessing of the old Taoist Master, he has achieved a small success in practice. I learned the four words on the ring worn on the ring finger of my left hand: Great Fantasy Immortal Temple.

He has vaguely established some kind of mysterious connection with this ring that can change magic money. It will take time for communication and nourishment. Maybe the ring will bring him another surprise?

He reached out to put away the throwing knife, opened the door, and felt the cold air rushing towards his face.

It's so white outside and so clean.

Liu Xianfeng fell on the young master's shoulder with a swish of wind. She was wearing a plush red jacket and a plain long skirt, and she shouted: "Young Master, when will we go back?"

She missed the bean sprouts and ingots in Fulu Lane.

It can be seen that the young master has made great progress in cultivation, but he has not yet climbed the stairs to break through.

In the past two months, she has completed the preliminary refining of the golden camphor tree stick. She has mastered some magic and can play the role of sap. However, it will take many years of practice before it can be successfully refined.

Even so, she still benefited a lot from the golden camphor wood, and her cultivation and spells improved a lot.

During Xu Yuanchang's retreat, Liu Xianfeng would put a food box and basket at the door of the quiet room every three days. He still couldn't stop eating or drinking, so he smiled and said: "I'm going back in the next few days, so go out with me first. See what happened to the ancient Taoist priest?"

I folded a red willow branch, went back to the bedroom and changed into a set of thick cotton preaching robes, put my bamboo box on my back, and walked out of Jifei Alley in the snow.

After walking less than three miles through the streets and alleys, Liu Xianfeng sent a message: "Sir, there is a group of mortals following them furtively. Why don't you go to a remote alley and capture two of them for questioning?"

Xu Yuanchang had already noticed the tracking behind him. Those guys were too rough in their craftsmanship.

It was cold after the snow, and there were not many passers-by walking on the street. They followed so closely that the only thing missing was the word "thief" written on their foreheads.

"Right on my mind."

Xu Yuanchang turned into an alley.

The two people behind folded their sleeves and hunched their necks to follow, but found that the person was missing. While they were looking around, someone bumped their heads behind them. Stars flashed across their eyes, and they sat down in the snow, unable to recover, and then fell into In confusion.

Xu Yuanchang used some ecstasy skills and asked each other for a while. He only knew that the two gangsters were acting on orders and took turns guarding the two ends of Jifei Lane with other accomplices for more than half a month.

It was cold and bitter, and I suffered a lot.

Seeing that he couldn't find out the reason, Xu Yuanchang couldn't find the gangster leaders one by one. He was too lazy to waste time. He didn't embarrass the two low-level gangsters who were struggling to make a living. He kicked them awake and warned them that if they dare to follow them again, they will be killed. Send it to the government.

The two gangsters were so frightened that they said "Don't dare, don't dare" and ran away with their heads in their hands.

Arriving at Sanpan Street in the south of the city, Xu Yuanchang asked a street vendor about the ancient immortal, and learned that the old Taoist priest had disappeared more than half a month ago and had never been seen again.

Then I looked for the small shabby courtyard in the alley where the old Taoist priest rented, and found that a certain room in it had already changed tenants.

Xu Yuanchang inquired for a long time, but no one knew where the blind Taoist priest had gone.

Walking out of the yard, there was a gangster wearing a torn hat outside. He squeezed his neck and forced a flattering smile. He held a bamboo stick in his hands and said with a smile: "Master, this is the stick given to you by the ancient half-immortal. He asked the villain I have a message for you, 'Famous mountains and great rivers, we will meet again if we are destined'. We really did not force him away, so please spare us."

Xu Yuanchang recognized the gangster leader and had "fighted" with him before. He reached out and took the bamboo stick.

The whole body of the stick is old and dark red, shaped like an arrow, and the bottom is pointed but not sharp. It is indeed the stick used by Taoist Master Yanshan, except that there are no unintelligible runes engraved on the front and back, and the size is nearly half shorter.

After listening to the two sentences, Taoist Master Yanshan has recovered, at least he recognizes him.

He left so freely and uninhibitedly, and he still had three hundred spiritual coins left to pay.

Throwing a broken piece of silver to the gangster leader, the gangster leader thanked me in surprise and asked: "Did you arrange for those people from the north of the city halfway up the mountain to follow me?"

The gangster leader was so frightened that his hands shook and the money fell to the ground. He immediately lay down in the snow to defend himself:
"Master, how dare you, this villain? Besides, I don't know where you are staying, so I have arranged a few people on Sanpan Street to wait for you to come. I am worried that I will miss the entrustment of the ancient half-immortal."

Xu Yuan said "get up" and walked away lightly on the snow, with a doubt in his heart.

Who would know that he lives in Ji Fei Lane and be so concerned about his whereabouts?
