The Classic of Mountains and Seas Through Ancient and Modern Times

Chapter 14 Bigu
Upon hearing this, Shangxian Fengming immediately looked at the two of them: "Now that Zixi's celestial card niche is in the hands of Emperor Chen, we can't act rashly, so as not to startle the snake. Why don't we pretend that we don't know who attacked Bai Mo and Shangxian Zhaoyao?" , claiming to the outside world that Bai Mo and Shangxian Zhaoyao were seriously injured and unconscious, and then spread the news that the remaining inner alchemy is in my Danxue Mountain, how about inviting you into the urn?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ke nodded, but Qiu Ran didn't think so: "The disciple thinks it's wrong, Emperor Chen is full of tricks, I'm afraid it's so easy to deceive, not to mention it's too obvious to let him easily sneak into Danxue Mountain."

"You're right," Shangxian Fengming was not in a hurry to defend, "This is only the first step of our plan. The news that the remaining inner alchemy is in Danxue Mountain will not be easily fooled by Emperor Chen, so I will spread it widely now. Group posts, invite all road immortals to come to Danxue Mountain to guard the demon king's inner alchemy, and Emperor Chen will definitely come by waiting for the opportunity."

After hearing this, Qiu Ran's eyes lit up: "Shangxian means that Emperor Chen may come with Ziluo Shangxian?" The Ziluo Shangxian of Xunshan was originally the Ziluo demon of Xunshan. He and Chenhuang were close friends. However, Emperor Chen didn't like her.

Later, for some unknown reason, Ziluo figured it out overnight and devoted herself to cultivating, and experienced a catastrophe and became an immortal on Xunshan Mountain.Although the immortals and demons were at odds from now on, Zi Luo Shangxian did not intervene in this matter when the demon clan was crusaded.

Now that Emperor Chen lost his inner alchemy and was seriously injured, he must be in a hurry to find all the inner alchemy one by one. He would never let go of such an opportunity.

Fengming Shangxian nodded: "That's right, if Ziluo Shangxian doesn't come to Chenhuang, why would it be difficult to sneak into Danxue Mountain, given the friendship between Ziluo Shangxian and Chenhuang, he will definitely bring Chenhuang to come, then we just need to keep an eye on Ziluo The people around you, take the opportunity to recapture the celestial card niche and work together to punish Emperor Chen."

"Shangxian's strategy is really good!" Jiang Ke nodded.

Feng Ming didn't answer either, but just looked into the distance without focus, and only hoped in his heart that before Zixi was reborn, he could get back the fairy card niche.

On the other side, Li Mu was still awake, and the spell failed again during the break, so Lu Jiaqi had no choice but to ask Hua Shuo to help carry Li Mu down the mountain.

After walking for another night, the two arrived at Hua Shuo's hometown. Lu Jiaqi also learned a lot about Hua Shuo along the way.After all, Hua Shuo is also a hard-working person. His parents died at the age of five or six and lived with his uncle all the time.

Uncle is a good man and treats him very well, but aunt is not.In this day and age, one more person in the family means one more person's ration, so the aunt couldn't understand him anymore, and often abused him while his uncle was away.

Later, there were monsters in the village, and a wandering master passed by here to help the village get rid of the monsters. After seeing that Hua Shuo had good qualifications, he intends to accept him as an apprentice.Originally, Hua Shuo didn't really want to go, but the aunt agreed to the master outright, and Hua Shuo couldn't do without going.

After that, Hua Shuo followed the master to travel around to eliminate demons, until more than a year ago, the Baimin demon clan went south.The two masters and apprentices met a masked female monster on the road. The master was seriously injured while fighting with the female monster. It took a lot of effort to escape with the master, but it was a pity that the master left after half a year.

He has been with the master for 13 years, so there is no need to talk about his feelings.Although the master told him not to take revenge before his death, but the so-called teacher for one day is a father for life, this kind of hatred of killing his father is irreconcilable, how could Hua Shuo bear it.

But he also has self-knowledge, knowing that he can't defeat the Baimin Yaozu, so he wants to find Fushan Xianzun to learn his skills.It's a pity that it didn't take long to hear that the Fushan Immortal had passed away. In desperation, Hua Shuo wandered around looking for the whereabouts of the witch, but after no results, he decided to return to his hometown for a period of meditation.

I didn't expect to run into Lu Jiaqi and Li Mu on the way. When I heard that Li Mu was the big disciple of Fushan, I was a little excited, and even expressed my desire to eliminate demons with him at the first time.

However, Li Mu didn't seem very happy after hearing this, which is really strange.

After being away from his hometown for 13 years, Hua Shuo thought he would not know the small roads of his hometown. He didn’t want his memories to flood in as soon as he stepped into the entrance of the village. In addition, he was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who excitedly introduced: "Did you see it? This is our village. Let's go south along this road. When we get to the end, the place with a jujube tree is my house, but we have to go to my uncle's house to get the key first."

He said so excitedly that Lu Jiaqi couldn't help but think of his home, and it has been two months since he came to this strange place.Because of the time difference, here is two months faster than now. Speaking of which, if it is in this modern month, I must have finished the college entrance examination, and I don’t know what kind of university I can get into. Will my parents be disappointed.

If it is calculated in modern time, there is still one month left, and I don't know if I can go back before my college entrance examination.

Although for students, June is always dark every year, and Lu Jiaqi once hated such a day, but now she is eager to go back.

Hua Shuo was a little excited at first, but after hearing Lu Jiaqi's voice for a long time, he couldn't help looking at her strangely: "Miss Lu, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing?" Lu Jiaqi shook her head, "I just remembered my hometown, okay, let's hurry up and get the keys back to your house, Li Mu is so heavy, you will crush yourself if you carry him like this .”

Hua Shuo didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter, it is my honor to be a disciple of Fushan."

Lu Jiaqi complained when she heard the words, it was really blind worship.

Hua Shuo's uncle's house is not very far from Hua Shuo's home. When Hua Shuo arrived, the woman who claimed to be Hua Shuo's aunt was greatly surprised. She thought that the coffin boy would come back to eat her again. Unexpectedly, the other party simply asked for the key.

Seeing this, the woman immediately brought a bunch of keys and let Hua Shuo leave like a plague, while Lu Jiaqi frowned while watching.

When the three of them arrived at the door of Hua Shuo's house, Hua Shuo rummaged through the keys while carrying Li Mu on his back.Lu Jiaqi looked at the rusted lock on the door and touched it tentatively, but unexpectedly, the lock fell to the ground with a "click" like a dried pocket.

For a while, Hua Shuo smiled embarrassedly, and while looking at Lu Jiaqi pushed the door open with his hands: "Ha, this saves the time of looking for the key, and without further delay, let's just..." Unfortunately, he hasn't said anything yet When the door was finished, there was only a sound of "touch", and the wooden door fell straight inward.

Looking at the dust stirred up and the weeds all over the yard, Lu Jiaqi was also a little afraid to look at Hua Shuo's expression, and couldn't help finding the steps: "It seems that no one has lived in this place for many years, and it has been in disrepair for a long time. that's it."

Hua Shuo nodded in embarrassment, why do you think that Lu Jiaqi is the master of this family?
Although I was mentally prepared when I saw the yard, when the two entered the main room, they were still stunned by the rats strewn all over the floor.

Lu Jiaqi looked at the dusty bed, then at Li Mu's immaculate white robe, finally gritted her teeth and said, "Let's put him here first, let's clean the house first."

"That's fine," Hua Shuo nodded with a blushing face. If this is not cleaned, it is estimated that even the residents will not be able to do it.

The Hua family's houses are not small, but due to the limited labor force, two people can only clear out two houses after a day of tossing, but it is enough.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Jiaqi shared a piece of the cake in the burden with Hua Shuo, and then brought a basin of water to Li Mu for medicine.After everything was settled properly, he said to Hua Shuo, "I'm afraid I will trouble you today and in the next few days."

"This is what it should be." Hua Shuo still looked hard-working.Lu Jiaqi knew that he really admired Fushan disciples, so she didn't say much.

Although the Hua family is dilapidated today, but fortunately, although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.In addition to almost everything to eat, I thought that Hua Shuo also had three meals a day just like me, but Hua Shuo's answer made her want to cry: "I have been cultivating with Master for many years, and I have already bigu, but I can eat it. eat!"

Lu Jiaqi opened her mouth, and looked at Hua Shuo sadly: "This unlucky child, why waste food if you don't want to eat it?"
Up to now, only I need to eat. Speaking of bigu, it is quite amazing. Can a human being really not eat?Lu Jiaqi was not ashamed to ask Hua Shuo about this question.

Hua Shuo looked at her in surprise: "You know magic but not fasting? Mr. Li has never seen you?"

Lu Jiaqi rolled her eyes, if I dare to ask Li Mu, did he wait until now?
In fact, things like bigu are not something that can be done if you want to. As we all know, people will starve to death if they don’t eat for seven days. Therefore, certain conditions must be met to achieve bigu.For example, in the fairy mountain or with the celestial dew to assist Bigu, the air and celestial dew in the fairy mountain have the effect of washing the marrow, washing away the filth of the mortal world, and have always achieved the effect of training the immortal bone and immortal body.

"So, if you want to eat bigu, it's impossible in this kind of place." Hua Shuo looked at her and told the truth.

Lu Jiaqi twitched her lips: "What about Zhaoyao Mountain? The Immortal Zhaoyao and Mrs. Zhaoyao are both gods, so there must be a fairy mountain there too."

"Mount Zhaoyao is indeed a fairy mountain," Hua Shuo patiently explained to her, "But there are too many mortals coming and going on Mount Zhaoyao, so it's not suitable for bigu. In fact, there are other ways to go to bigu. There are many animals and plants on fairy mountain that can be eaten. I don’t feel hungry, but everything has the right to survive, let alone immortal beasts and fairy grass? And these things are not easy to find, so many people who cultivate immortals will not eat such living things.”

"Oh!" Lu Jiaqi nodded, "It's amazing."

The next day when Li Mu was still awake, Hua Shuo went to the city early in the morning to buy a piece of wood and came back to repair the door, and brought back some vegetables and tea.Lu Jiaqi was a little embarrassed, so she gave him the money.

But Hua Shuo refused to accept it. The two pushed back and forth for a long time, but Lu Jiaqi didn't insist anymore, and said: "Since you don't want money, I will help you! If you can use it, just ask me."

Hua Shuo hesitated and nodded: "That's fine!"
