Chengtian Ba ​​Suo

Chapter 56 The Old Secretary

I was panicking, but I heard the old Taoist hum, and then unexpectedly turned and went up the mountain. 【 】

ah?What's going on, I was stunned, because the little beauty was still standing there, and the old man didn't unlock the spell.

The little beauty was obviously also stunned, and couldn't say a word. Seeing the old Taoist climb up the mountain ladder and disappear quickly, she immediately stared at me and said viciously: "It's all your fault!"When I'm released, see how I deal with you!

This has something to do with me!I wanted to cry but had no tears, so I turned around and ran away with my neck curled up.

When I got back to the mountain, I asked the old Taoist who was standing there looking at the scenery: She had admitted her mistake, why didn't you let her go?

The old Taoist said: She has a violent temper, which cannot be cured overnight.In ancient times, Zhuge Kongming captured Meng Huo seven times and convinced others with virtue.Even if she admits her mistake, I will torture her a few more times.

That's how it is... I muttered in my heart: You are good at grinding her, and when you finish grinding her, she should come to grind me.

At this time, the old Taoist suddenly handed me something: Take a look.

I took it over and saw it was a piece of paper on which it was written: Gamu is in Jiuqiao Linglong Mountain.

Who gave this to you?I asked.

I saw him when I was going up the mountain, and I didn't catch him when he landed at the gate of the Taoist temple.The old man looked calmly at the endless mountain scenery ahead.

Jiuqiao Linglong Mountain?what is that place

Kaiyuan, once a mountain for Kowloon, is the most prestigious place.The old Taoist replied.

Is this news true?

I don't think it's true.The old Taoist said: There is no need for people to lie to me.Although the Five Elements Taoist Temple is protected by Taoism, it is not difficult to attack. I can't defend it alone.Gamu didn't come to me for a long time, probably because he thought that I was powerless to destroy his plan.

So what are you going to do?I asked again.

The old Taoist stared straight ahead, and said plainly: Find the Zhou family, go to Linglong Mountain and kill Gamu.

Just the Zhou family and us, wouldn't that be enough...?I asked worriedly.

Indeed not enough.The old Taoist nodded: So I plan to ask someone to help, and he alone is worth a line.

Who is so powerful?I was a little surprised.No matter which branch of the three veins of the celestial corpse, in my opinion, they are all ridiculously strong.The weakest one now should be the Wei family. Most of the family's children died in Jiuyin Mountain. Even the top bronze armored corpse was left with an arm by the "ghost messenger", and its combat power was greatly reduced.But even so, the Wei family should not be underestimated, after all, its core strength still exists.

That man is from the thirteen divisions of Zhu You.The old Taoist said with some reminiscence: He was already famous before I was born.When I was an adult, his only direct disciple defeated the Nine Desolation Demons with the Chenzhou Talisman, and became famous all over the world. In 54, there was a great chaos in western Hunan, many practitioners were involved, many people died, and he was one of the survivors.But judging by age, there may not be many people of the same age as him.Zhu You is the head of the thirteen subjects.If he could be invited, it would not be a big problem to involve the two veins of the celestial corpse.

I was even more surprised. Although I didn't know what the Nine Desolation Demons were, and I didn't know what the so-called chaos of practitioners in Xiangxi was in 54, but people who are so respected by the old Taoist must be extraordinary.Because I seldom see him admire others, even the Jiangmo Zhou family is not considered a big man in his eyes.

Where is he now?

Hunan, Yuanling County.

Although he told the other party's whereabouts, the old man did not go immediately.

Because that person has a weird temper and many rules, and he is a person who sticks to the ancient inheritance.What's more, its age is already high.The old Taoist said that no one knows how old he is, but it is roughly estimated that he is over a hundred years old now.

Hundred years old?I imagined an old man as majestic as Gamu, but with wrinkles like bark folds on his face, smiling cheerfully at me while leaning on a walking stick.Can such a person help us?I'm afraid walking is also a problem.

The old Taoist didn't seem to be worried about this. He took me away from the Five Elements Temple, and bought a hundred-year-old wild ginseng in an unknown town, as well as grain wine brewed by the farm.

It's rare for me to see him visit someone so cautiously. When he went to Wei's house, he was as careless as his own family.But now I just look at old men who are over a hundred years old, who buy ginseng and wine.

I suddenly became very curious about that old man who had never met before. What kind of person was it that made the old Taoist priest of the Five Elements respect him so much.

After buying the things, the old Taoist stuffed his hands into his sleeves and said to me: Don't talk nonsense when you get there. The senior is happy now, so don't make him unhappy.

The old Taoist was so cautious, which made me nervous, as if the new daughter-in-law was going to meet her in-laws.

Moving forward with the method of shrinking the ground, the old Taoist took me away from the Five Elements Taoist Temple and went straight to Hunan.

I have never been to Hunan, the only city I know is Changsha, because there is a very famous entertainment program.As for the small counties below, there are already as many as a cow's hair, and only a knowledgeable person like an old Taoist priest can see the place name and immediately know where it is.

It was already noon when we arrived at the boundary of Yuanling, and the old Taoist stayed in place to rest for a while, and he took me on the way after he was refreshed again.

Although this is a county seat, the development of the motherland is very fast, and the county seat is comparable to the original small city.From a distance, you can see the beautiful county government.The old Taoist priest and I walked through the bustling main street of the county town and headed for the suburbs.

The development speed here is faster than the city where I live, and it is rare to see old houses with ancient styles.On the old road, he said with emotion that when he came here decades ago, there was still the atmosphere of ethnic minorities blowing his face.Now the place has changed a lot, and it is a pity that the ancient scenery of the past can no longer be seen.

Since the urban transformation of this place has changed drastically, can you still find him?I asked.

The old Taoist said: Even if this place becomes like Beijing and Shanghai, the place where he is will never change.

Before reaching the suburbs, the old Taoist suddenly stopped in a street.

What's wrong?I thought he saw something strange again.

arrive.He gave me a short answer and led me to turn right.

This street is so far rare in Yuanling County where the ancient style is maintained.Surrounded by high-rise buildings, only here, there is still a touch of rural atmosphere.Several shops opened for business, and small tables were set up.I saw many people holding bowls and eating something like gnocchi.Red, white and white are truly beautiful.

It doesn't matter if I look at it, but it makes my stomach growl when I look at it.Eating steamed stuffed buns these days almost made me vomit.

The old Taoist stopped again and gave me a banknote: go and fill my stomach.

I knew he was afraid that I would lose face in front of that expert, so he laughed and ran to ask the boss to get a bowl of snacks.

The boss is a middle-aged man in his forties, chubby and extremely enthusiastic.After the rice bowl was served, he said cheerfully to me: Are you here to travel?

Um, oh...yes, here to find someone.As I devoured the contents of the bowl, my mouth was still vaguely responding.This thing is round at both ends, like a farm rolling pin, and it tastes slippery.The taste is hot and sour, very refreshing.I haven't eaten something with such a fresh taste for a long time, and I wiped out a bowl of it.I felt my stomach was not full, so I ordered another bowl, and I didn't settle the bill until I was full.

Seeing me running back with a smile on my face, the old Taoist didn't say much and continued on his way.

I followed him for about 20 meters and stopped again. The old Taoist priest stood in front of a house and turned to the gate.

This house is the most primitive in the whole street, and there is still a black plaque on the gate.It just seems to have been blacked out, and the original words written on it are no longer visible.What surprised me the most was that there was a thick and long wooden post at the door, with a rope beside it, which seemed to be used to raise the flag.But there was nothing on the wooden post.

The old Taoist patted the almost invisible dust on his body, straightened his clothes, and then went up and patted the door twice.

After the door was knocked, he took a step back and stood there motionless.After a while, the door was opened with a creak, and a man in his 40s or [-]s came out to see the old Taoist priest: Who are you looking for?

This tone can't be said to be good or bad, but as an old Taoist priest, whoever saw him before didn't call him a master.But now only three words have been returned, who are you looking for?Not to mention you, not even you.

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist did not get angry, but said calmly: Five elements, come to see Mr. Li.

It turned out to be the five elements.The man laughed: This place is far away from that place. Although I heard my father mention it, I have never seen it before. I am rude.

The old Taoist cupped his hands, and the man went on to say: Master is too old now, it is inconvenient to meet too many people.Please wait here for a while, I will go back and ask.

The old Taoist handed over again: I'm sorry.

polite.The man bowed his hands in return, smiled at us, and then gently closed the door.

After the man's shadow disappeared from the crack of the door, I went to the old Taoist and said in a low voice: "There are too many rules, anyway, we are also guests."

No nonsense allowed.The old Taoist reprimanded me in a low voice: If someone is willing to see you, it is a face, and if you don’t want to see him, you can’t be rude, just keep your mouth shut.

What's the matter... I muttered, seeing the old Taoist's face darken, I shrank my neck and didn't dare to speak anymore.

In terms of seniority, even my master is lower than him.The seniority of this lineage is very high, no worse than your Basuo.If you talk too much, I'll cure you and put you as a pillar at the door.The old Taoist said with a threatening expression.
