Cao Thief

Chapter 382 Zhu Xia
The wind has subsided, and the snow has also weakened.

Although the sky was dark, the vast expanse of white caps made the night look much brighter.

The Earth Temple is located next to the stream, but the stream has long been frozen.With a radius of hundreds of miles, there is no human habitation, and the sky and the earth seem to be the same color, which makes people feel lonely.

A man with the appearance of an alchemist was standing outside the ancestral hall with a baby girl on his back.

The two guards Fei Yan stopped the alchemist with a look of vigilance.

When Cao Peng came out of the ancestral hall, seeing the alchemist's face clearly, he couldn't help being startled, and blurted out: "Brother Xiaoxian, why are you here?"

"Junior Brother Cao!"

The alchemist saw clearly that it was Cao Peng, and was overjoyed.

He stepped forward quickly, and the two flying dragons wanted to step forward to block him, but the alchemist didn't know what to do, and passed between them before the flying dragons blocked him.Cao Peng could see very clearly that the alchemist just made a change in rhythm, which made the blocking of the two flying demons useless.At the same time, a tinge of astonishment arose in my heart, because there was only a shallow footprint behind the alchemist.The wind and snow passed by, and the footprints disappeared in the blink of an eye...Treading the snow without a trace?Is this a bit too much?
In martial arts novels, scenes like this often appear. The so-called crossing the river with a reed and stepping on the snow without a trace is a phenomenon that only appears when the martial arts attainments reach a peak.But before that, Cao Peng always believed that the so-called Treading Wuhen was invented by a novelist.

Unexpectedly, here today, I saw a living example.

The alchemist is Cao Peng's cheap brother, the ancestor of Ge Hong, the author of "Baopuzi" later, the famous Ge Xuan and Ge Xianweng.

Almost two years ago, Ge Xuan met Cao Peng once, and taught Cao Peng a set of seven transformations of the white tiger on behalf of Zuo Ci.

After that, the guy disappeared and was never heard from again.

Cao Peng didn't look for it deliberately, because he was always afraid of Ge Xuan.It's just that he didn't expect to meet Ge Xuan here on this snowy night.I haven't seen him for two years, Ge Xuan doesn't look much changed, he doesn't even look old at all.Thinking about it, it doesn't seem so strange... He is a master who has successfully cultivated immortals. Although he may not be able to stay young forever, delaying it is not a problem.

No, it's not cultivating immortals!
It can only be said that he is cultivating the Tao...

Cao Peng had experienced Ge Xuan's skills, and knew that in terms of martial arts, there might not be many people in the world who could match him.

Martial arts practice is not the same as martial arts prowess.

Regardless of whether it is Lu Bu or Guan Yu, they have practiced the way of killing people.

Including Cao Peng, the same is true.However, Ge Xuan's martial arts focused on personal cultivation, so if he really fought, he might not be able to beat Lu Bu.

"Senior Brother Xiaoxian, why are you here?"

Cao Peng waved his hand to signal to Xianghu and the other flying demons to be calm, and asked curiously.

Ge Xuan grinned, "Junior Brother Cao, can we go in if you have something to say? You and I can withstand the wind and cold, but this little girl..."

Only then did Cao Peng notice the little girl behind Ge Xuan.

In fact, it is more accurate to refer to it as a girl, because this little girl is only about five or six years old.He is a little thin and thin, and his face seems to be slightly yellow due to malnutrition.She was dressed in a white flowered jacket, which made her look pitiful.

Cao Peng blurted out: "Brother, is this your daughter?"

"Nonsense, my girl is now in Wu Jun, living with his grandfather."

As Ge Xuan said, he stepped up to the doorstep of the ancestral hall.Cao Peng hurriedly made way for him, and walked into the ancestral hall together with Ge Xuan...

Xia Houlan brought a bowl of dogwood porridge for the little girl to drink.

Ge Xuan sat down by the campfire, looked up and down, and suddenly sighed softly, "Junior brother, I haven't seen you for two years, this luck seems to be getting stronger."

Cao Peng couldn't see such an illusory thing like luck, and he didn't know how to look at it.

However, Ge Xuan said that he has strong luck, which is not flattering words after all.So he just smiled and didn't answer...

And Ge Xuan didn't say anything more, his eyes inadvertently fell on Pang Tong who was thinking at the side.

"what?"

He couldn't help being startled, his fingers flicked in his big sleeves to make calculations.

After a while, he looked at Cao Peng again, with doubts in his eyes.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"it's wired!"

Ge Xuan shook his head lightly, as if talking to himself, said: "If you use the method of physiognomy, you should have died a few years ago, junior brother, but you have lived to this day if you don't want to; but this son, the method of physiognomy seems to be even more weird. If According to his physiognomy, there must be a bloodbath before he is 36 years old, and it will be a dead end. However, his physiognomy seems to have undergone some changes, and there seems to be life in the dead end.

The last time I watched Qi with you, I thought it was because I was not good at reading.

So I went to the mountains to find friends, trying to improve my practice.As soon as this came out, I met another weird person... This young man, can you tell me your birth date, so that I can make another round of calculations? "

Pang Tong frowned and almost twisted together.

Anyone who hears others say that they are destined to die early will feel dissatisfied.

Cao Peng hurriedly said: "Shi Yuan, this is my elder brother Ge Xuan Ge Xianweng, who is from Zuoci Zuo Xianweng's family, and his Taoism is quite advanced."

"Ah Fu actually worships Zuo Xianweng as his teacher?"

That Zuo Ci is not just an ordinary ascetic, he has a very high reputation in Jiang Zuo.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were several famous magic sticks, and Zuo Ci was one of them.Whether he is a fairy or not, Cao Peng is not too sure.Anyway, he has never met Zuo Ci... But the common people believe that Zuo Ci is an immortal, with the ability to bring back life from the dead.

At least when Ge Xuanyan mentioned Cao Peng, he was not wrong.

This Cao Peng is not that Cao Peng. If Cao Youxue hadn't been reborn, perhaps that Cao Peng would have already turned into a handful of loess.

Hearing that Master Ge Xuan was from Zuo Ci, Pang Tong couldn't help being awed.At the same time, a trace of panic grew in his heart, and he hurriedly told his birthday.

Ge Xuan pinched his fingers, and shook his head slightly after a while.

"It's really weird... Your hit was originally a dead end, why did you show vitality?"

"Also ask Xian Weng to save me."

"It's not difficult to save you, but I have a message to send, I hope you will remember: Don't turn to the southwest in this life, otherwise there will be bloody disasters."

Cao Peng shuddered Lingling, and looked at Ge Xuan in horror.

Didn't Pang Tong in history die in the attack on Xichuan?And Xichuan, isn't it located in the southwest?

In his previous life, Cao Peng also met many fortune tellers, but most of them were liars.Is Ge Xuan also a liar?He was able to break through Pang Tong's death situation in one word, and he was by no means aimless.Are there really gods in this world?Cao Peng didn't know... This was originally a muddled account, because no one had ever seen a god; but if there were no gods, then Cao Peng couldn't explain his situation.

Thinking of these things, Cao Peng began to feel a headache.

He hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Brother, can you do the math for me again?"

"You can't figure it out."

"why?"

"I don't know either... Junior brother, if you followed your physiognomy, you should have turned into a dead person long ago. But now, you are not only alive, but also have a strong luck, which surprised me. Senior brother, I am not very knowledgeable, so It's hard to calculate, probably only the mentor can see the truth. I'm going back this time, and I'm going to tell the matter, and then I will have him to observe the qi... However, according to your luck, if there are no disasters or difficulties, it must be a Longevity Bureau."

The so-called Longevity Bureau does not mean immortality, but longevity.

Cao Peng knew that if he asked again, he would not be able to find anything, so he simply stopped dwelling on this question...

Everyone sat around the campfire, and the little girl curled up in Ge Xuan's arms and fell asleep.Only then did Cao Peng ask about the little girl!

"She was originally the daughter of my friend... My friend's surname is Zhu, and she is also a person who is good at immortal arts, and has a lot of Taoism.

Two years ago, he had calculated his doom, so he called me to go.I wanted to help him, but in the end...he only left this woman, named Zhu Xia.But you also know that I am away all year round, and it is hard work for my old father to raise my children. If I bring her back again, I am afraid... I just met you, so I want to trouble my junior brother to raise this daughter for me, how about it? "

Ge Xuan stared at Cao Peng with burning eyes and asked.

Cao Peng looked at Ge Xuan, then at the young girl in his arms, and couldn't help feeling a little headache.

"This woman has the appearance of a queen."

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help coughing again and again.

"Queen look?"

"It's noble...

As a person who cultivates the Tao, I talk about Zhongzheng and peace, and I am indifferent to fame and fortune, which is not in line with this noble spirit.

You also know that Jiangdong is not very peaceful now.With her appearance, there might be disasters.If you stay by your side, you will be blessed by your luck, and you will surely have great wealth in the future.This is also my promise to her father. I don't want her to cultivate immortality and become a Taoist, but I only wish him a safe and prosperous life. "

Ge Xuan's words sound a little cloudy.

Cao Peng didn't quite understand the Queen's face, the Longevity Bureau and other things, but he could vaguely hear another meaning in Ge Xuan's words.

This little girl will surely be rich in the future!
It is said that Cao Peng's luck is to protect him, but in fact, why not want this girl's luck to protect Cao Peng?

This was originally a complementary thing.

Cao Peng protects the little girl now, and the little girl will protect him in the future...

"Well...Since senior brother opened his mouth, I'm fine. But I'm going to Yingchuan this time, and I guess I won't be able to go home until some time later.

Otherwise, brother, please take a hard trip and bring her back to Xudu first?
My parents are both at home, and my father-in-law originally wanted to go to Yingyin with me, but because of some trivial matters, he was also at home, and he definitely agreed. "

After hearing this, Ge Xuan smiled.

"It's better to let her follow you... It's only a short distance to Yingyin.

I still have something important to do, and I need to return to Jiangdong as soon as possible.If you go to Xudu again, I'm afraid it will delay time... Why don't you let her follow you from now on.Zhu Xia has a cold temper, you can also get in touch with her more so that she can accept you.Junior brother, please! "

No matter what Cao Peng heard, he felt that Ge Xuan was fooling him.

Is he eager to go home, taking a little girl with him is a burden after all, so...

After gazing at Ge Xuan for a long while, Cao Peng suddenly smiled, "Forget it, since senior brother has spoken, how can I refuse? Let her follow me for the time being."

A smile appeared on Ge Xuan's face...
