Winter Solstice Night, Meiling.
This place is only half a day's journey away from Wujian Villa, but unlike the bustling scene there, this place is very deserted.
In the deserted mountains, there is a deserted Taoist temple.
In the deserted Taoist temple, there was a white-haired old Taoist.
The old Taoist named "Deng Yangzi" has lived in seclusion in this mountain for many years. He originally lived a peaceful life here, but ten days ago, two people suddenly came and broke the news. His peaceful life.
As for the two uninvited guests, one was Sun Yixie and the other was Huang Donglai.
What are you doing here?
We have to go forward...
A month ago, after Sun and Huang decided to join forces with Na Wen Yuzhai, they worked closely with those masters. He began to practice.
As for Shuang Xie, who has always been cautious, while cooperating with Wen Yuzhai's plan of "fighting demons with swords", they naturally have their own "backup plan".
Because they had previously experienced the "stealing of life" incident involving Xie San of the Yiyong Escort Agency, Sun and Huang were basically certain that there was at least one "expert in Taoism" behind Xiao Zhun. "exist.
How strong this person is... It's hard to say, but since it is known that such a person exists, Shuangxiong must be prepared. Even if he overestimates the other party, he must be foolproof...
Therefore, during those few days, Huang Donglai collected some materials and conducted a "thousand-mile sound transmission".
Don't think this is just a spell similar to "making a phone call", but it is actually very troublesome to operate. Although this spell does not require high spiritual power, even Huang Donglai can master it easily, but the method of doing it is very difficult. There are a lot of "materials" needed, and they are hard to find...such as rat kidneys, magpie beaks, early morning dewdrops, midnight epiphyllums...there are a lot of things like this, and they all have to be fresh. Once used, it cannot be used again.
Huang Donglai finally found everything and contacted Miaoyinzi, just to ask the master: What can he do if he encounters a demon whose cultivation is far higher than his own? Does the other party have any ideas?
In the end, Mianyinzi answered him: "Generally speaking, there is no way... If you really encounter such an opponent, my teacher suggests that you should walk away first, and then go find someone else nearby." The Taoist sect moved reinforcements."
Huang Donglai asked again: "What if the Taoist friend I am looking for has any difficulties and is unwilling to come out?"
Miaoyinzi replied: "Then you can use it. Your master, me, your master uncle, and the names of our Xuanqi Sect are trying to scare him and ask him if he doesn’t want to give him face.”
Huang Donglai said again: “Well…it doesn’t matter if that’s the case. How to use it?"
Miaoyinzi said: "Then you can 'borrow a magic weapon' from the most accomplished person in their sect, as long as you can borrow something that is beyond your cultivation level but you can use it temporarily. A top-grade magic weapon, coupled with mental arithmetic and unintentional calculations, and sneak attacks first, there is still a chance that the weak can defeat the strong.. ”
Ladies and gentlemen, this is simply “Good Master Dashu”. Not a single word he says is false, but all solid words. It can be said that the spring breeze turns into rain, and he is tireless in teaching, and he is a teacher every day. I will look like my father all my life.
And the last method given by Miaoyinzi also coincided with Huang Donglai's previous strategy of defeating Shi Xianzi.
Of course, Shi Xuanzi is Shi Xuanzi, and True Lord Fire Lotus is True Lord Fire Lotus...
Even if he faced Shi Xuanzi, who was not very good at it, Huang Donglai had to lay out a lot of things in advance Formation, use the strategy of "driving the tiger back to the mountain" to lure the opponent away from the crowd, and then rely on the help of "Piluchou" stolen by Jiang Muchan by chance.
I want to use this to win. It would be a fool's dream to use magic weapons of that level to defeat True Lord Fire Lotus... Besides, Huang Donglai didn't have any magic weapons at hand right now.
Therefore, after Miao Yinzi asked about the approximate location of Wujian Villa, So I gave him a trick - go to Meiling and Deng Xiandong to find Deng Yangzi.
It just so happened that the day after contacting Miaoyinzi was the day of "heavy snow". Wu Jian Villa released the news that they were about to "open the village to discuss swords".
Shuang Xie and Wen Yuzhai both knew that this meant that Xiao Zhun's plan would be implemented in half a month. < /p>
So, Sun and Huang sent a flying pigeon letter to the Yiyong Escort Bureau that day, arranged some strategies, and then said goodbye to everyone and hurried to the Lingnan border.
< p>The place where they practiced martial arts together was not far from their destination, so the two of them hurried and arrived at Meiling three days later.Huang Donglai was already a Taoist and wanted to find a fellow Taoist. It is not difficult to hide the mountain gate. The two of them visited Deng Yangzi on the day they arrived.
Deng Yangzi met these two juniors. After talking and asking questions, they found out that they were the disciples of fellow Taoist Mianyinzi, and This is a matter of slaying demons and defending the Tao, so if I can help, I will definitely help.
But Deng Yangzi is not a troublemaker. If he likes to be lively, he will not be alone. After living in seclusion here for so many years... it was a bit difficult for him to go out to the murky waters of the world in person.
So, after discussion, Deng Yangzi still said: Otherwise, I will lend him a magic weapon. Just use it.
Huang Donglai thought about it, it’s better than nothing.
Then Deng Yangzi said: “It shouldn’t be too late, Xian. Nephew, you should go into seclusion now. You should be able to come out of seclusion in about ten days. "
Huang Donglai was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't it borrowing a magic weapon? Why did you change to seclusion and practice? ”
Deng Yangzi explained that although he had many magic weapons, because his cultivation level was much higher than Huang Donglai’s, and the ranks of these magic weapons were also somewhat powerful, Huang Donglai couldn’t use most of them; There is only one called "Tushi Ruyi Sand", and Huang Donglai may still be able to use it, but only if he first learns how to use this magic weapon under the guidance of an experienced person.
Huang Donglai will calculate the days and see if everything happens. All goes well, he shouldHe should be able to leave seclusion before the winter solstice, just in time to "discuss swords"... That's okay, so he went to seclusion here in Lao Dao to hone his magic weapons.
But in fact, it was said that it was "retreat", and Deng Yangzi did not lock Huang Donglai somewhere to prevent him from coming out. He just arranged for him to practice in a stone room behind the Taoist temple; that stone room The door was not locked at all, and Huang Donglai could come out at any time if he wanted to.
Of course, Huang Donglai himself did not intend to come out. From the beginning of his "retreat", he took the initiative to drink a small bottle of "Guiyuan Dew" he brought from Xuanqi Sect, and prepared for his exit. I didn’t eat, drink, sleep, or go to the toilet before... I was ready to focus on training hard.
Seeing that he was so serious, Deng Yangzi only went in to teach Huang Donglai the formula for refining the magic weapon on the first day, and never bothered him again after that.
In this way, ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
This night of the winter solstice.
Yin and Yang are delivered, and all things die.
The seven stars rotate in a circle, and the handle of the bucket is due north.
At this moment when heaven and earth were full of spiritual energy, Huang Donglai finally succeeded in refining the "Tushita Ruyi Sand" given to him by Deng Yangzi, and mastered the trick to activate this magic weapon.
Deng Yangzi had advanced cultivation and could sense the situation in the stone chamber. Therefore, when Huang Donglai was preparing to leave the seclusion, Deng Yangzi came in first.
"My dear nephew, congratulations, your ten days of hardship are not in vain." When Deng Yangzi came in, although he said congratulations, the expression on his face was a bit strange.
"Ah... more seniors." When Huang Donglai responded, he also noticed Deng Yangzi's strangeness, so he immediately asked tentatively, "Uh... seniors, I wonder how you have been spending the past few days. How's that going? My friend, didn't he cause you any trouble?"
As soon as he said this, Deng Yangzi's expression changed obviously.
Looking at the old Taoist's face turning green and white, he sighed thoughtfully: "Alas...it's hard to explain in words..."
Huang Donglai listened to this , looking at Deng Yangzi’s expression, he thought to himself: “Needless to say, another victim of Brother Sun.”
But on the surface, Brother Huang still had to pretend to be very surprised and confused. , and then asked: "What? Did my friend offend the senior in some way?"
"Uh...that's not the case." Deng Yangzi said as he began to pace. The painful experience of the day seemed to slowly emerge in front of his eyes, "During the first two days of your seclusion, Donor Sun just kept pestering me to become your teacher..." He paused, "There is no gain for a poor man. I wanted to be a disciple, and I saw that Donor Sun had no connection with the Tao, so he refused again and again... Unexpectedly, from the third day on, although he gave up his apprenticeship, he began to practice on his own..."
"Ah? What can he practice?" Huang Donglai asked curiously.
"He said that he is idle anyway, and it just so happens that the conditions here are suitable. He plans to take advantage of your seclusion for a few days to practice one of his many ancestral secrets." Deng Yangzi replied. .
"Oh? Which one?" Huang Donglai asked again.
"He said it was called the 'Sound of Gate-beating Fist'." Deng Yangzi replied.
"What punch?" Huang Donglai's first reaction when he heard this was a little surprised, but because he had helped Brother Sun copy Sun Sect's secret skills, he had some impression. Then he remembered it on his own - the Sun family's martial arts did have such a boxing technique.
"I asked him the same thing." After a breath, Deng Yangzi continued, "He said this is a peerless martial arts that can transform 'anger' and 'humiliation' into 'destructive power'. Theoretically, it can be indestructible and invincible... Even the iron cloth shirt with a golden bell cover that has been trained for decades can be punched through with one punch... But for some reason, his ancestors left behind a legacy that this skill When practicing martial arts, you must practice against various 'doors' to be effective."
"Uh..." After hearing Deng Yangzi's description, Huang Donglai pondered awkwardly for a while before continuing, "Then he. ...How have you been practicing these days?"
"How is it?" The corners of Deng Yangzi's mouth twitched. At this moment, he walked up to Huang Donglai and forced out a painful smile, "Xian Nephew, except for your stone chamber, there are no doors anywhere else!"
Deng Yangzi's words are true. As of yesterday, most of the doors in his Taoist temple have been blocked by Brother Sun! It was beaten to pieces. Now let alone the room where he sleeps, even the toilet has no door.
When Huang Donglai saw Deng Yangzi's appearance, he felt that this old man was going crazy. He quickly comforted him: "Senior, don't be angry. I'll talk to him for you."
"Hey~ I'm not angry." Unexpectedly, Deng Yangzi stopped Huang Donglai, "I wanted to reprimand him..." At this point, he suddenly lowered his voice and continued with a smile, "But he gave it. There are too many..."
"What did he give you?" Huang Donglai asked.
"Money." Deng Yangzi replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Senior, is it useful for you to ask for money?" Huang Donglai felt more and more strange.
"I thought it was useless at first." Deng Yangzi replied, "But Donor Sun talked to me yesterday and I was very inspired..." The old Taoist opened his eyes and said, "Since With that much money, I can go out and hire people to build a new Taoist temple exactly according to my wishes... After it is completed, I will use magic to move the new Taoist temple to the place I want, and then Find a new mountain gate to live in seclusion... Then no one can find me."
"What? Are you uncomfortable living in this mountain gate now?" Huang Donglai asked again.
"Actually, it was not very comfortable to begin with. Now that there is no door in the temple, it is even more uncomfortable." Deng Yangzi replied, "So I think it will be a good idea if you borrow this magic weapon this time." There is no need to return it. I will probably not be here by the time you come back anyway. Just think of this 'Tushita Ruyi Sand' as a gift from me. You two must not come looking for me again. From now on, we will have dreams in life and each will be wonderful. ..."
This old man was still very serious ten days ago. Huang Donglai didn't know what happened during the ten days of seclusion. He even learned the saying "everyone has a dream in life, and everyone is wonderful".
And looking at his expression and tone, there seems to be a hidden sentence behind the sentence "You two must never come to find me again", "If you come to me again I will kill you", so... Huang Donglai didn't Be polite to him again.
In the early morning of that day, Sun and Huang left Deng Yangzi’s Taoist temple overnight, and both galloped at night, heading straight for Wu Jian... the villa!
