The best water fairy of crossing

Chapter 16 The Devil's Messenger

Early the next morning, the old man in Taoyuan asked me to carry a bamboo basket and go to the mountains behind the village.

Along the way, the old man kept frowning and didn't say a word.Seeing his expression, I couldn't help but secretly worried.The old man said yesterday that the kind of picking depends entirely on luck, implying that if the luck is not good, Xuan Chi will die?

"Sir, I wonder what kind of medicine we are going to take? Is it hard to find?" I said.Could it be Ganoderma lucidum?

The old man sighed and said: "This kind of medicine is called Seven Color Purple Rose. It usually grows on the cliffs, and the quantity is very small. You can't meet it but you can't ask for it! Now, the poison on your brother's body has penetrated into the lungs, so this kind of medicine is absolutely necessary." !"

Is that so?I couldn't help frowning when I heard that, and didn't say anything more.After walking for an hour, we came to the top of the mountain.This mountain is extremely high, the peak is steep, and the top of the peak is covered with snow all the year round. It is so cold that I can't help shivering.

Seeing that I was shivering from the cold, the old man smiled slightly and said, "You are still a cultivator, but you can't even withstand this little severe cold."When did Xiaoyaozi's vision become so bad? "After that, he shook his head.

This Taoyuan old man is really ruthless when he speaks. "I'm a woman who is most afraid of the cold, unlike you guys who are all overheated!" I said nonchalantly.

The old man heard that my tone was not good, so he didn't argue, just smiled, pointed to the edge of the cliff and said, "Go down!"

"What?" I was taken aback for a while, and looked at him inexplicably.

The old man snorted displeasedly: "Go to the bottom of this mountain and see if there are any purple radishes!"

I took a step closer to the cliff, and looked down with my head.Amitabha, this old man must have done it intentionally. The clouds are billowing under this cliff, and the height is bottomless. How can I, a mortal, go down.

Seeing my hesitation, the old man threw a ball of rope over and said, "Tie it around your waist, and tie the other end to a boulder."

Okay ah?I looked at the ball of rope along his fingers, it was so skinny, it couldn't hold me. "Do you have a thicker rope?" I asked, which was too thin.

The old man said impatiently: "This is the rope, whether you like it or not! I have never seen such an unhappy girl!"

You dirty old man!At that time, I really wanted to teach him a harsh lesson, but thinking of Senior Brother Xuanchi's fate, I held back.Okay, let me go, isn't it just a cliff?At worst, fall to death, what's the matter?

I tied one end of the rope to a big rock on the edge of the cliff, tied the other end to myself, and moved down tremblingly.The walls of this cliff are smooth, how can there be any seven-color purple radish!This old man is not fooling me.

"Hey, there's not even a single piece of grass here, are you sure it's here?" I yelled.

"Go further down, and I didn't say you'll definitely find it! Go down and have a look!" the old man shouted like a broken gong.

you are vicious!I happened to be stuck on the mountainside at this time, I couldn't go up, I couldn't get down, I couldn't find it anymore!I slid down again, and after an unknown amount of time, my chest began to feel stuffy, and it gradually became difficult to even breathe.

God, am I going to suffocate to death here today?While breathing heavily, I looked around and suddenly saw a colorful thing not far from me.Is that the seven-color purple radish?I pulled the rope and shouted, "Hey, old man, what does that thing you're talking about look like? I... I seem to have found it!"

After a while, the old man replied unhurriedly: "The shape is like a vine, the vines are purple, and the flowers bloom in seven colors! If you see something like this, you probably want it!"

I turned my head and reached out to count the colors of the flowers, haha!Really seven colors, yes, yes!I found it!As soon as I stepped on my feet, I threw myself on the nearby mountain wall, took advantage of the situation and grabbed the seven-colored purple radish in my hand.

"Old man! I got it!... I got the seven-color purple radish, haha... ouch!" I was complacent, when I suddenly felt my waist loosen, and the rope really broke.

In an instant, I felt that my body was light and floating, and I was falling rapidly at an unknown number of meters per second.No way, it's really joy begets sorrow!
"Ah..." I opened my arms and shouted loudly. After a few shouts, I suddenly felt that the rope around my waist was firmly pulled.

"What's the noise! ​​The old man's ears are going to deafen you!" The old man Taoyuan's voice came from above my head.

I opened my eyes and saw the old man in Taoyuan lying on the cliff, holding the rope in one hand and pulling me with the other.I breathed a sigh of relief, okay, okay!I am auspicious and have my own sky.

The old man looked down at me and shouted: "Grab the rope, the old man is going up!"

I hurriedly grabbed the rope tightly, this is a life-threatening moment!The old man kicked his feet, and flew up with a whoosh.I didn't know what fear is until I set my feet on solid rocks.

Seeing me, the old man gasped in shock, and said coldly, "How can such a timid person become a big deal in the future! Give me that seven-color purple radish!"

"Hey, I said old man, I died just now!" I said with my eyes wide open.

"Aren't you okay? Could it be that a ghost is talking to me now?" the old man mocked.

I was about to say a few words to stimulate him, but after thinking about it, Xuanchi still has to count on him!Forget it, for the sake of senior brother, I will bear it.I obediently walked over and handed the medicinal materials to him.He didn't even look at him, and said, "Let's go!" I followed behind in a hurry.

As soon as we reached the foot of the mountain, the old man suddenly stood still, looking very strange.

"What's the matter?" I wondered.

"Stop talking!" the old man shouted in a low voice.He stretched out his hand to count, and exclaimed again and again: "Not good! Not good! Come down the mountain!"

I don't know why, this old man doesn't know what handjob he is doing all day long.The old man's movement is very fast, I just saw a group of blue shadows running ahead, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye!It seems that this old man is a bit wise!

Seeing the old man's expression is very strange, I don't know what happened!I didn't dare to be negligent, so I ran quickly, but I didn't see the old man after running for a long time.

I was sweating profusely, and finally returned to Taoyuanzhuang, but the sight in front of me surprised me.I saw the old man in Taoyuan surrounded by a group of creatures of unknown origin. (Please forgive those guys who don’t look like humans or animals. It’s hard to describe, so let’s call them creatures for now!) Those creatures still hold weapons in their hands, and the cold light is shining, making people’s scalp go numb at first sight.

"Sir, old man, what's the matter? Who are they?" I was shocked.

Before the old man in Taoyuan could answer, a few minions rushed towards me with their knives in hand.Damn, kill anyone you see!I didn't have a weapon in my hand, so I picked up the bamboo basket in a hurry to block it.Those guys were also ruthless, and the bamboo basket was split into several pieces immediately.Seeing that I was in a dangerous situation, the old man shook those guys away with his palm, flew forward to rescue them, and cleaned them up in just a few strokes.

But I never expected that those guys couldn't be beaten to death, and there were more and more of them. In the end, they surrounded us with three floors and three floors.

"Who are they? Are you enemies?" I looked around in panic and said.

"They are the subordinates of the demon king Yanhuo, Shadow! Girl, take it!" The old man handed me the seven-color purple Luo and said, "Later, I will open a gap, and you quickly serve it to your senior brother! Remember to Take it with warm water, and after taking it, use the method of flushing the void to help him adjust his breath for a while."

What is the method of flushing the void? "What about you?" I asked.

"You go in first, and come help me after your senior brother is well! Hmph, I can't help but judge these bastards!" The old man said arrogantly.After that, he stretched out both hands, his palms were vicious, and the palm wind was everywhere, and those minions flew out.After a while, there was a gap in the southwest corner.The old man took advantage of the situation and threw me out.

"Old man, be careful yourself... Oops!" I was thrown out with all my strength, thinking that I was going to fall all over the place, but I didn't expect that I landed firmly in the courtyard.

I didn't have time to think about it, and hurried to Xuanchi's room.The old man said that this violet tree needs to be washed with warm water, but how can it be eaten?I looked carefully at the plant in my hand.Oh, never mind, Xuan Chi, don't blame me!I chewed the whole violet in my mouth, then poured water into Xuanchi and swallowed it.

Xuan Chi choked, then swallowed slowly. "Brother, brother! What do you think?"

Xuanchi slowly opened his eyes and nodded: "What did you give me to eat?"

"What is Ziluo! Oh, don't worry about it so much, brother, what is the method of Chongxu, do you know it? The old man said that you should use this method to adjust your breath after taking the medicine!"

Xuanchi said softly: "Help me sit up straight, then do as I say..."

I nodded, helped him up, sat behind him, and supported him with both hands.He said intermittently the key points of the method of Chongxu, and I practiced according to the law.After about a stick of incense, his face flushed, and he looked angry.

"Brother, are you feeling better?" I asked.

Xuan Chi nodded and remained silent. 'That's great!Then you rest here now, the old man in Taoyuan is fighting with someone outside, I will help him! "Without waiting for him to answer, he ran out.

When I arrived in the courtyard, I suddenly remembered that I didn't have a weapon in my hand.I turned my head and looked at the yard, and saw a peach tree planted in the east of the yard.He ran over, broke off a branch, weighed it in his hand, and now he has no choice but to give it a try!

I walked around to the door to check the situation outside, and saw the old man in Taoyuan standing in front of the door with fluttering sleeves, and those minions had fierce eyes, staring at him, but they didn't dare to approach.Suddenly, there was a sharp laughter in the air, and then a man in black and holding a folding fan fell in the air.

"It's you!" The Taoyuan old man snorted coldly.

The man in black laughed and said, "Old ghost Shaoqing, I haven't seen you for 20 years and you're all right! I didn't expect you to hide here, so I can find you!"

Shaoqing?This name seems to have been heard somewhere.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense, what's your business here?" Taoyuan old man said coldly.

The man was not angry, he waved his folding fan and said, "I heard from the white python spirit that he found the water spirit pearl! I am ordered by the god to come and see who dares to hide the water spirit pearl!" During the last few words, the man in black had a gloomy and cold expression, which made people feel terrified.

I was startled when I heard the word Shui Lingzhu, and suddenly remembered something.That's right, the thousand-faced fox caught me that day because of the Shui Lingzhu. Could it be that they came after me?

The old man in Taoyuan looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Ji Wuxie, how shameless are you! Fortunately, you are still a descendant of a human queen, but now you have become the lackey of the demon leader Yanhuo, what a pity!"

Ji Wuxie's face darkened, and she said sharply, "Stop talking nonsense, and hand over the Water Spirit Orb, or I'll decapitate you today!"

"Come if you can!" The old man said coldly.

"Okay! Then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!" Saying that, Ji Wuxie's folding fan flew out with a whoosh, and turned into countless cold lights in the air, stabbing at the old man's face.

What a great effort!I was dumbfounded.I saw the old man turned sideways and pushed his right palm, forcing those few rays of cold light into the air.Ji Wuxie sneered, and swung out her palms. The old man hurriedly resisted, but couldn't help but retreat a few steps.

what to do?Although the old man's skills are strong, he doesn't seem to be such an innocent opponent.I waved the branch and was about to rush out.Suddenly my shoulders sank, I turned around and saw Xuan Chi grabbing me.

"Brother? That old man..." I said.

"You stay here! So much martial arts foundation, what's the use!" Xuan Chi said with a cold expression.

"But..." I wanted to say, but I'm afraid this matter has something to do with me, so I can't let the old man get involved.

He interrupted me as soon as he raised his hand, and flew out to help the old man with a long sword in his hand.

Xuan Chi stabbed at Ji Wuxie with a sword, Ji Wuxie was shocked and quickly withdrew his palm. "Who are you? Don't meddle in your own business!" Ji Wuxie said coldly.

Xuan Chi remained calm, did not answer, and made another sword strike.At this time, the old man saw the right moment and swung his palms to attack. Ji Wuxie faced the two masters, no matter how powerful his mana was, he would gradually lose the upper hand.

In desperation, Ji Wuxie grabbed the subordinates around him and threw them forward, the old man and Xuan Chi hurriedly retreated, and then Ji Wuxie made another trick, throwing his subordinates one by one.I only heard a few strange bangs and bangs, and those minions were instantly wiped out.

Seeing their companions being shattered one by one by the force of the palm, the remaining minions backed away.Ji Wuxie probably expected that he would not be able to get any bargain today, so he sneered and said, "Old ghost, don't be complacent! I will come again!" After speaking, he waved his sleeves, and walked away with his subordinates.

"Old man, brother! You are really amazing!" I clapped my hands with a smile.

The old man snorted, and said lightly: "Girl, this is just the beginning! You have to be careful in the future!" After finishing speaking, he went in without looking back.

What is just the beginning?What does this old man mean!I was slightly puzzled, and turned to look at Xuan Chi, hoping he could give me some hints.He sighed softly and followed in.

When did these two become so compatible! "Hey, tell me clearly!" I turned around and chased after him.

Brother Xuanchi's injury is no longer serious, the old man kept us for another two days.These two days have been hell on earth.The old man pestered me to play chess with him every day.How can I play ghost chess!Being entangled by him was really helpless, so I had to tell the truth.

The old man was taken aback when he heard that: "Girl, you mean you can't play chess at all?"

I nodded: "That day I also made such a bad plan to save people!" I looked at him, fearing that he would be angry, and added: "It's urgent! You, old man, don't remember the faults of villains. Forgive me for this." Let's do it once!" He stood up and bowed respectfully.

The old man was in a daze for a while, his eyes were blank, and he didn't answer.Really angry?So stingy!
Xuanchi said from the side: "Old senior, Ruoshui did it all to save me! If you want to blame, you can blame me!"

After a pause, the old man waved his hand and said, "That's all! This old man has been trying to solve this chess game for decades without success, but he was unexpectedly solved by a person who can't play chess at all. This is also fate, and it is also a hint from heaven. It seems that I really have to let go!"

"What hint?" I asked curiously.

The old man was silent, lost in thought.

Xuanchi thought that the old man didn't want to talk too much, so he snorted at me, signaling me not to be troublesome.I stick out my tongue, don't ask if you don't ask, I'm not happy to know!

After a while, the old man came back to his senses and said slowly: "For decades, this old man has been obsessed with chess.

road.However, as the saying goes, extremes will reverse, I am too obsessed with it, so I can't let go of it because I am addicted to it.Girl, thank you!It was you who helped me untie this knot, it seems that I was really too smug before! "

What is this old man talking nonsense about?I looked at him indifferently.

He only heard him say in a meaningful voice: "It's time to go down the mountain!"

"Where are you going?" I asked.

The old man smiled and said loudly: "Hanging the pot to help the world, roaming around!"

It does not make sense?At this time, I suddenly remembered one thing. "Mr. old man, did you know that naive or evil one before? And that water spirit bead, what's going on?"

The old man and Xuan Chi looked at each other mysteriously, and smiled without answering.

"Old man, tell me quickly? What are you laughing at?" I said.

"The time has come, so I will know." The old man said loudly, pinching his beard.

Cut, I hate these people who play mysteries the most in my life, can't I just say something nice?

After staying for a few days, Xuanchi and I bid farewell to the old man in Taoyuan, and went back to Sifang City to visit Lord Zhuge before returning to Kunlun.
