Chapter 1885 Taoist Temple
Yuan Ya quickly overtook Xiao Hua, and when Xiao Hua reached the front of the Taoist temple, Yuan Ya quickly walked out of the Taoist temple and went down the mountain road.
After Yuan Ya walked past, Xiao Hua raised his head and carefully looked at the so-called Taoist temple the old man said.
This Taoist temple is extremely poor, far from the green bricks and green tiles that Xiao Hua saw from a distance. The so-called beauty is produced from a distance, and it is also set off by the green surrounding the Taoist temple.
At the front of the Taoist temple is a dilapidated small archway. The archway is only a few feet wide and two feet in size. There is no color on it, only black stains and rust stains after wind and rain. There is an even more shabby plaque directly above the archway. The writing on it is extremely blurry. Xiao Hua glanced at it for a few times, but he couldn't tell what was written.
Behind the archway is a small courtyard, a portal several feet shorter than the archway. The door was ajar at this time. On the red wooden door, except for a few damaged gaps, light shone through. The paint flakes that were raised due to dryness were like the scales on a sea fish, densely packed.
Xiao Hua pushed open the wooden door and made a chirping sound. The door shaft had obviously not been oiled for a long time.
Behind the wooden door is a screen wall, which has almost collapsed, but it blocks Xiao Hua's view and cannot see the situation in the courtyard.
When Xiao Hua turned around the screen wall and saw everything in the Taoist temple clearly, he sighed slightly.
This Taoist temple is only about ten feet in size, and a huge pine tree in the courtyard has already taken up most of the courtyard. Behind the green pine is a main hall, which houses a strange statue. The statue is three feet tall and has only half of its face. It has a green face and red lips, and seems to be holding a sword in its hand. But there is only one hilt left in the sword. Like the wooden door at the mountain gate, the colorful sculptures around it have fallen off extremely badly, and the black and gray wood is exposed in many places.
In front of the statue is a small table with three red candles as thick as fists. However, these red candles were extinguished at this time and were not lit.
In front of the desk are two futons, one placed in the center and the other slightly behind, away from the statue.
There seems to be a small hall on the west side of the main hall, but unfortunately there are no statues in it. There was only a table and half a broken red candle.
There are east and west wing rooms on both sides of the main hall. There are several statues enshrined in the west wing from north to south. Unfortunately, the statues are much damaged compared to the main hall, and the statues can hardly be seen! There are no statues in the east wing, but a seemingly clean living space! At this time, the old man was busy walking around inside, and from time to time there were some clear ringing sounds.
Xiao Hua looked at it roughly, and then scanned it with soul consciousness. Knowing that Yuan Ya's crystals were placed around the dilapidated statues in the west wing, his footsteps moved again.
He slowly reached the west wing and threw the spar into the room.
Then, Xiao Hua thought for a moment, turned around and came out of the west wing, preparing to walk out of the Taoist temple. Then he went to get the spar. At this moment, there was a "dang" sound, a strange sound, and footsteps coming from the west wing. Xiao Hua looked up and saw that it was the old man walking out of the house.
Xiao Hua was stunned when he saw the old man's dress.
I saw that the old man had changed into a Taoist robe, which was new and unbroken, and he wore a hat that seemed to be a Taoist crown on top of his head. Unfortunately, the colors of the hat and robe are different, which makes it look a bit awkward. The old man held two things in his hand. In his left hand was a bell, which was wrapped in velvet and made no sound; in his right hand was a bamboo pole more than ten feet long. There is also a small brown cloth flag on the top of the bamboo pole, with "Tao" written on it. The weird sound was caused by the bamboo pole hitting the ground. As for the old man, apart from a yellow cloth bag placed on his left shoulder, there was also a mahogany sword slung on his back!
"Hmph..." When the old man saw Xiao Hua, he was still standing in the yard. He snorted coldly. The bamboo pole paused on the ground and said, "I am going to take Yuan Ya out. Today you will remove those stones from the foot of the mountain." We are moving here! Remember, you are not allowed to eat until you finish moving!”
"Tao..." Xiao Hua was really dumbfounded! Although I am a dignified monk, I am in trouble now, but... I don't have to make a living by moving stones, right? Besides, do you know this old man? Even if we are just making a living, is it necessary to be in this small Taoist temple? Besides, when he came out of the spirit stone, he had no injuries at all, and he was still alive. He was obviously a strange person. Why couldn't this old man see him? Instead, he looked like he was not afraid of himself. Not only was he disrespectful, he was even a little bit annoying. He just said what task he wanted to complete?
It's a pity that as soon as Xiao Hua said the word "Tao...", the old man waved his hands impatiently and said: "Call me Taoist Master!! I don't know where you learned the Taoist priest from, where are you from, but I am inexplicably asked What a bad luck..."
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Hua to answer, he walked out of the Taoist temple with a proud stride. Looking at the old man with his chest puffed out, he looked quite majestic!
Xiao Hua opened his mouth, but after hearing the last few words of the so-called Taoist Master that he couldn't understand, he still shook his head with a wry smile: "Forget it, no matter what, people say that there must be a cause and effect for splitting himself out of the spirit stone. No matter how misunderstood the old man is, Xiao... move the rocks first! Xiao will leave after the stones are moved!"
Thinking about it, Xiao Hua slowly moved step by step to the shabby door of the Taoist temple. The incomparable heaviness around his body really makes Xiao Hua uncomfortable. Compared with the previous chicness of going to the Nine Heavens and going to the West Sea, it is really different!
Xiao Hua had just moved out of the mountain gate when he heard the old man in the distance shouting: "Ya..., hurry up, hurry up, throw this thing to that boy, what happened to Mr. Lu's family... I thought about it for a moment, it's still early It’s so good! He is a powerful person in the town. It’s rare that he sent his servants to invite me three days ago! I have to give him some face, right?”
"Yes, Master!" Yuan Ya had already reached 30% of the mountain road in a short time. Looking at the Master who was rushing towards him, Yuan Ya agreed neatly.
Xiao Hua understood what Yuan Ya said. He smiled, and the honest and honest face of Xiang Yang appeared in his mind.
"The two masters and disciples... are quite interesting!" Xiao Hua had the intention to leave, but he raised his eyebrows again and said with a smile, "There is no rush to send Liu'er to the Paradise. As the ancients said Well, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Xiao is in a difficult situation now. Even if he has the intention, it will be powerless. How many more years will it take for the earth crystal milk in his body to be refined? Instead of hiding in the cave and practicing hard. Following this pair of masters and disciples, seeing the people of this ancient town and reading about the various aspects of this Hidden Immortal Continent may be of some benefit to the pregnant baby!"
Speaking of pregnancy and baby, Xiao Hua looked a little sad again! It seems that I have never heard of any monk practicing and cultivating the golden elixir, right? Although he has just started to temper the earth crystal milk, Xiao Hua feels that there will still be a small amount of true energy pouring into the lower dantian, but the invisible golden elixir in the lower dantian is like a bottomless deep pool. No matter how much true energy and true energy flow into it, Yuan Yuan was full of acceptance, and Xiao Hua was afraid that one day this golden elixir would magically explode.
"Of course, that step seems to be too early! Xiao..." Xiao Hua thought, slowly walking down the mountain road. However, this mountain road has always been easy to climb up and difficult to get down. Now Xiao Hua can't control his hands and feet. He just took a few steps, and with a stroke of his feet, he was a late-stage foundation-building monk who had already half-stepped into Nascent Soul... It actually turned over and rolled down the mountain road like a gourd!
"Grandma's... it's so embarrassing!" Xiao Hua almost cried. He is almost 200 years old, and he still makes such a fool of himself!
Well, fortunately, there will be no one on this mountain road. The so-called Taoist Master and Yuan Ya have just left. The worst he can do is roll down halfway and stop on the roadside. The worst he can do is fall into the river! I am not afraid of the majestic Western Sea, so why should I be afraid of this?
It just so happened that Xiao Hua's rolling gourd was far from being as weak as Xiao Hua thought. It actually kept rolling down without stopping at all! It looks like, if nothing goes wrong, it will really roll into the mountain road below the mountain.
"Huh..." Just when Xiao Hua was extremely depressed and thinking about how to stop, he heard a sound like the roar of a wild beast. Then, Xiao Hua felt a huge force in front of him blocking him, and Xiao Hua Under this huge force, Hua's figure rushed downwards for several more feet before coming to a stop.
When Xiao Hua looked up, it was Yuan Ya who had left just now, but he didn't know when he returned. Yuan Ya blocked himself with his hands, but his own arms were scratched several feet above the ground, and their flesh and blood were already a bit blurred.
"Are you okay?" Although Yuan Ya's words were short, Xiao Hua didn't understand it, but looking at the smile in Yuan Ya's eyes and the trace of concern, Xiao Hua felt warm in his heart. What he understood in his heart was that his body was covered with earth crystal milk, and his body felt extremely heavy. How heavy was his physical body? Of course, it cannot be calculated like this. But even if it wasn't a piece of earth crystal milk, if he rolled down from a height of dozens of feet, how big would his fall be! If Yuan Ya hadn't been very strong, he might have been rushed down the mountain road by himself, right?
Xiao Hua shook his head slightly, saying it was okay.
Yuan Ya looked at it, and the concern on his face disappeared, and he returned to calmness. A natural alertness showed in his eyes. Immediately, Yuan Ya explored his hands and scratched a few times on the mountain road. His hands were covered with dust. He rubbed his left and right arms twice in front of Xiao Hua. The dust really blocked the bleeding place. After a while, the yellow dust turned into brownish red and gradually condensed.
"You..." Xiao Hua was shocked. He never thought that the injury could be treated in this way!
But Yuan Ya ignored Xiao Hua's surprise at all, rubbed his hand on his Taoist robe a few times, neatly took out an oil bag from his arms, stuffed it into Xiao Hua's hand, but ran away without saying a word Go to the mountains. In particular, Yuan Ya's foothold was not a real mountain road, but surrounded by rocks and low thorns. However, Yuan Ya's hands and feet were more powerful than ordinary mountain beasts.
