Chapter 258 The Ferry

"What the hell... come and go, it's really boring."

Yu Ci chuckled, but then his smile faded away, because he saw that the monk in the distance was standing up staggeringly, looking up at the star-studded night sky, feeling very strange.

"Master Zheng Yan?"

Yu Ci called out tentatively, or because of weak energy, there was no response from the other side, Yu Ci thought for a while, and simply walked over, and picked up the Yuan pressing stick on the way.The mountain forest between the two of them was crushed by the power of the rod, and it was easy to walk across.

At this moment, there was another muffled explosion from far away, Gan Shi was rarely so relentless, but after this blow, there was no more fighting, and whether the tall and thin figure died or fled, it had nothing to do with Yu Ci.

After a while, he came to the monk.As they got closer, Yu Ci felt more and more that the monk's demeanor was not normal.It was as if something in the sky had sucked his soul, and he had no sense of Yu Ci who was so close at hand.

Yu Ci also observed the state of the monk's mind and soul through the divine will and starlight, which really hurt his vitality. Could it be that there is some memory disorder?Frowning, he called out again: "Master Zhengyan..."

"He once said that the Bodhisattva is this vast and endless night sky..."

There is no ending sentence, but because of the word "Bodhisattva", Yu Ci let out a surprise.This time, Zheng Yan finally turned around, but he didn't continue the previous topic, just looked at him.

At the beginning, the eyes were still a little cloudy, but the longer he stared at Yu Ci, the clearer the eyes became.While looking at his expression, Yu Ci observed the state of his mind and soul. Before he came to a conclusion, he saw that the monk didn't say a word, took a step back, and under the starlight, put his hands together above his head, bent his waist and knees, and fell to his knees. In the soil, bow to this side.

The incident happened suddenly, Yu Ci forgot to dodge.The monk bowed solemnly three times before standing up, with his usual expression on his face, he only said softly: "Immortal Yu gave me a new life, I will report it later."

At this time, in the monk's brain, the spirit is like a weak and unquenchable flame, burning stubbornly, but it is too weak, so that it is desperately looking for "fuel", and slowly melts the starlight attached to it .Now Yu Ci didn't have to think about taking it back, otherwise the monk might lose his life.

But is this really okay?Yu Ci didn't know, but the monk obviously didn't care.He bowed to Yu Ci again, then turned around and left, very simply.

"Wait!" Yu Ci called out.

The monk stopped and turned his head, but bumped into something on the cheek, it was the Yuan pressing staff.

"Take this for self-defense."

Yu Ci didn't say anything like "I'll help you", and he didn't want to hear it even if he wanted to come to Monk Zhengyan.He only pressed this magic weapon for cultivating the ten heavens on the shoulder of the monk, and it was like sending a wooden stick.

The monk thought for a while, then stretched out his hand to take it, a smile suddenly appeared on his slender face, showing his white teeth: "I am kind, but I am disrespectful."

At this moment, the slippery and casual monk Zheng Yan seemed to have returned.

Yu Ci laughed loudly and waved his hands to see him off.Monk Cheng Yan didn't look back, and walked into the darkness, over there was his new world.

Seeing the monk completely submerged into the darkness, Yu Ci shook his head, and when he turned around, he was startled by the figure behind him.

"Uh, Uncle Gan?"

The female cultivator probably came back when Zheng Yan knelt down and was looking at him with wide eyes: "What did you do?"

Monk Cheng Yan's behavior is too bizarre, especially for those who don't know the reason behind it, they are even more confused.Yu Ci wanted to explain, but felt that it was difficult to explain in a few words, so he responded vaguely: "You saved his life. By the way, Master Gan, who was that person just now? He died." ?"

Gan Shi's true character is to be pleasing, seeing Yu Ci's "chaotic" speaking in other languages, she just smiled slightly, and said in accordance with his words:

"Looking at its appearance, it should be Zuo Yan."

"Which one?" Yu Ci didn't understand.

"It's Zuo Yan."

The female cultivator's expression became serious, and she said solemnly: "This 'Injustice Sect' Zuo Yan was born in the cold arctic region is a branch of the Demon Sect. It can be said to be rare in the world. Even Zuo Yan is in the Unyielding Sect, and he is also famous for being surly. He often makes enemies with others, never dies, and does everything he can. Impossible. I just wanted to keep him, but it fell short, but considering his strength, you have to be careful in the near future."

Yu Ci remembered the name "Zuo Yan" in his heart, but he didn't necessarily care about it.However, he soon solemnly thanked the nuns:

"Thank you Uncle Gan for rushing to help, otherwise the disciples will be sad tonight."

Facing an enemy of the level of the blood monk Tu Ling, Yu Ci dared not say that he was sure of victory even though he was very scheming.He is not a fool, he has resources at hand, how can he not use them?

Gan Shizhen and He Qing returned to the gate of the Lichen Sect and went to the Nine Heavens Outland to practice.But before she left, Yu Ci had already made an appointment with her. When the monk Zhengyan left the city, Yu Ci used the sect messenger flying sword to send a message to her. Gan Shizhen followed the mark left by him all the way. Help him deal with the blood monk, but still save his life.

As for only telling Gan Shizhen in circles, but not He Qing... Gan Shizhen lowered her eyes and smiled, and said softly: "Aunt Qing also cares about you very much, and she also said: If someone sneakily asks for help, it must be to make a great contribution , and it’s not easy to refute her face, in fact, it’s nothing, it’s okay to credit you for checking and filling in the gaps first, after you go back to report on your work, you can add as appropriate.”

Sure enough, it was He Qing's tone, and Yu Ci also laughed. He didn't intend to hide He Qing from the beginning, the reason why he only told Gan Shizhen was actually to slow down.You must know that it was He Qing who announced the end of the matter of the cliff city. He is a junior, and even if he is checking for deficiencies, he still has to save some face for his elders.Listening to Gan Shizhen's recitation, although He Qing's words were still on airs, he clearly understood his intentions, and his goal was achieved-this is not a matter of understanding, but a matter of politeness.

After the Yi Bao Banquet, Yu Ci did correct this point, which showed that he had adapted to the environment of the Lichen Sect.

At this moment, he felt relieved—it could finally be said that it had come to an end.

What is he going to do next?

It was June, and the heat at the foot of the mountain was steaming, and when entering the mountains, the hot wind suddenly became cool, blowing the peaks and crossing the streams, only to see green grass, blooming mountain flowers, murmuring streams, and the dryness disappeared completely in the ears.Swirling up the mountain, it is as high as tens of thousands of feet. At the top of the mountain, a huge stone stands on the high cliff, seven or eight feet high, and the whole body is black. Very eye-catching.

When the sun rose directly above the boulder, under the high sky, a ray of sword light was pure white, aimed at the boulder, poured down, and when it came to the top, the momentum slowed down, and a person appeared.This person is dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe, and his figure is a bit short and fat, but the Taoist robe is wide, standing in the wind, floating like a fairy.Especially the smiling face on his round face, which is amiable and quite attractive.

This person put up a canopy with one hand on the boulder, looked into the distance for a while, his very thin and light eyebrows jumped suddenly, and saw a figure on the mountain road coming this way, his eyes often narrowed into slits and blinked He blinked, grinned, and was about to get up to meet him, but after thinking about it, he sat cross-legged and meditated with his eyes closed.

Not long after he sat down, the man on the mountain path climbed to the top of the mountain. The fat Taoist didn't open his eyes, but there was a smile on his lips.Soon, there was a voice from here: "This Taoist priest, please."

The fat Taoist priest opened his eyes, took a look, and saw a young man in Taoist attire under the boulder, looking up.The young man was also wearing a moon white Taoist robe of the same color as him, with jet-black hair tied in a bun, and a face like a jade crown, looking extremely handsome at first glance.At this time, there was a bit of curiosity in his eyes.

The fat Taoist responded with a smile: "You're welcome, it's fate to meet you on the mountain road, please tell me if you have anything to do."

The young man bowed slightly, and said courteously, "May I ask where Tong Tianhe is?"

"Tongtian River? This is the Tongtian River!"

The fat Taoist laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, swung his sleeves, and jumped off the boulder: "Could it be that the person who came here is Junior Brother Yu from the Mind-Causing Contemplation?"

The young man was Yu Ci, and he responded in surprise: "Exactly, the Taoist priest is..."

"Sure enough, it's Junior Brother Yu. My surname is Li, and people call him Daoren Li. Junior brother can be called Brother Li or Fatty Li. I'm here today to pick up Junior Brother to the mountain gate!"
