At night.
Outside Xilai Temple, high on the mountain.
Lei Cao and Yi Bai were talking, and what they talked about was the best technique.
Lei Cao sat on the stone, with golden energy emanating from his body. He was not afraid of snakes, insects, rats, and ants. He said: "Long Lord, as far as I know, every technique has its advantages, but most people can get it. I just scratched the surface and thought I had learned this skill."
When Yi Bai heard this, he couldn't sit still and felt ashamed. He really felt that he had learned all kinds of Taoist skills and was very capable, so he often showed off.
Now when he hears it, he has only scratched the surface.
"To be honest with Lei Cao, the majority of people mentioned by Lei Cao include me."
Yi Bai said calmly.
"I will not hide it from Mr. Long. The majority of people I am talking about include myself."
Lei Cao suddenly joked.
"Ashamed."
Yi Bai shook his head and said.
"If Mr. Long wants to learn this superior technique, I know of a place where Mr. Long can learn it. However, there is an old fairy here who has great magical powers but a weird temper. Mr. Long may hit a wall here. "
Lei Cao said this.
"Please teach me, Lei Cao. Where is that? Whether it succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with Lei Cao. I will remember Lei Cao's help to me."
Yi Bai is very sincere.
Since he knew that what he was learning was superficial, how could he give up?
No matter how hard it is, you have to try.
Along the way, how could he have learned so many skills if he had not done so.
"That's all, Lord Long said this. I must help. Lord Dragon can go north from Dongjie County to Chu County. There is a mountain in Chu County called 'Kanli Mountain'. This mountain changes constantly. Anyone who is not destined to enter is not allowed to enter. In the mountain, there is a cave called "Dragon Tiger Cave". There lives an old fairy, whose name is unknown. He is said to have a life span as long as the sky and has great abilities. This old fairy can definitely teach the Dragon Lord. , learn the superior Taoist skills!"
Lei Cao told Yi Bai everything he knew.
When Yi Bai heard this, he became energetic and wrote down all this information.
Chu County, Kanli Mountain, Longhu Cave, Lao Xian'er.
If he could learn a superior technique, he would certainly have to go through it no matter how difficult it was.
According to his temperament in martial arts, he will never look back until he hits the wall.
"Thank you Lei Cao for telling me, but I don't know where exactly Kanli Mountain is in Chu County?"
Yi Bai asked again.
The land of one county is so huge.
It is really difficult to find a mountain.
If you don't ask which county it is in and narrow down the scope, even if Yi Bai wants to look for it, it will be difficult to find it.
"Dragon Lord, it's not me who can't help me, but it's actually hard for me to find it. This mountain is not in a fixed place, but is constantly changing. I heard from my companions in the sky that some people said they had seen it in Jinli County, Chu County, and some said they had seen it in Chu County. They have seen it in Junjing County, and some people say they have seen it in other counties. They are all different, and the way they appear every time is also different."
Lei Cao shook his head and said.
"That's it. No matter what happens this time, I have to thank Lei Cao!"
Yi Bai was grateful.
"Lord Long, there is no need to say anything. If Lord Long can acquire superior skills, it will not be too late to thank me again."
Lei Cao waved his hand and said.
How could Yi Bai do this? He just said that no matter what, he would remember Lei Cao's kindness.
Lei Cao talked with Yi Bai for a long time.
Then he left.
After Yi Bai watched Lei Cao leave, his heart was filled with excitement. He wanted to go to Chu County. Although he knew that the road ahead was extremely difficult, he still wanted to go there.
However, he did not leave immediately.
He spit out the demon pill and took out the Zen staff.
He has not forgotten that he was the number one hero in defeating Monk Mingjing.
This Zen staff is a treasure.
Yi Bai took out the Zen staff, held the handle, and looked at it carefully.
The length of the Zen staff is about nine feet. The body of the staff is golden and is engraved with Buddhist scriptures. The tail of the staff is round and the head of the staff is lightly carved into the shape of a dragon. The dragon shape has nine rings in its four sides. There are four words written on it, which are "Qinglong Zen Staff".
"What a weapon! In the future, fighting and training will all depend on you."
Yi Bai praised the Zen staff.
Dang Dang Dang...
The Zen staff trembled slightly and made a tinkling sound, which seemed to be responding to Yi Bai.
Yi Bai still wanted to say something.
Suddenly I felt my air pockets trembling.
He was busy looking inwards.
Seeing Fo Ce trembling.
He thought to himself, how could he not understand.
He took out the Buddha Ceremony, held it in his hand, and said, "Okay, okay, they are all good treasures. In the future, I will rely on the Qinglong Zen Staff when fighting, and when I practice self-protection, I will rely on the Buddha Ceremony."
Yi Bai said this.
The Qinglong Zen staff and Buddha's policy both trembled in response.
Yi Bai carefully inspected his two magic weapons, and then put them all into the Demon Pill Pot Heaven.
After he took back the magic weapon, he had no intention of staying any longer.
Yi Bai said "change", turned into a yellow eagle and soared away, returning to Dongjie County.
…
Three days later.
Yi Bai flew over Lingpei County and entered Sanjiang County.
He entered Sanjiang County and was not in a hurry. He entered the Suolong Well and went to ask the real dragon if there was any superior Taoist technique, and also asked if the real dragon could teach him the superior technique.
Unexpectedly, the real dragon rushed him out of the well impatiently, saying that when accepting a disciple, it is important to be "led by a master, and practice depends on the individual". The superior is not superior, it all depends on one's own understanding, and it cannot teach.
Yi Bai was kicked out of the well and had no choice but to go to Chu County.
But before you go.
Yi Bai found a clean and uninhabited place and swallowed octopus tentacles to enhance his demon power.
He stopped after raising his demon power to the point where he felt pain.
Yi Bai continued to transform into a yellow eagle and soared towards Dongjie County.
…
A few more days.
Yi Bai quickly arrived at Dongjie County, and he landed on Leigong Mountain, a mountain bordering Dongjie County and Sanjiang County.
He stood on this mountain and looked down the mountain.
In the past, he fought with the tiger of Dayin Mountain, but here he is.
Yi Bai was quite sad.
He walked up to this mountain, revealed a circle of light in his palm, and struck towards the ground.
"God of the Earth and Mountains, come see me quickly!"
Yi Bai shouted loudly and activated the god-dispelling technique.
His voice fell.
A figure came from a distance, shrunk to an inch, and in a few seconds, it was in front of Yi Bai.
"Fishing Village Land, I've seen Dragon Lord!"
The Lord of the Land bowed his hands.
"I dare to ask the land, has anything important happened in the Shuanglongjiang area recently?"
Yi Bai stopped here and naturally asked about this matter.
If nothing happened in Shuanglongjiang area, he would go directly to Chu County.
The landowner was stunned, and then stated that he did not belong to the land in Shuanglongjiang area. He did not know this and asked Yi Bai to give him some time so that he could ask.
Yi Bai naturally agreed, bowed his hands, and asked the landowner to help him on his journey.
The Lord of the Land agreed to leave.
…
After a while.
Tu Tu Gong came back again and told Yi Bai that nothing happened in Shuanglongjiang.
Only then did Yi Bai feel relieved. After thanking the Earth God, he turned into a yellow eagle and hurried on again to Chu County.
…
soon.
More than ten days passed.
Yi Bai flew across mountains and rivers from Dongjie County, and finally rushed to Chu County. After he arrived in Chu County, he had no intention of stopping, but flew around, trying to find the location of "Kanli Mountain".
But the search was fruitless.
Even when he asked the Tutu Mountain God, he could not find the mountain. The Tutu Mountain God said that there was no mountain named 'Kanli Mountain' in Chu County.
After searching for nearly half a month, Yi Bai had no choice but to give up. He knew that Kanli Mountain was extraordinary. As Lei Cao said, it was necessary to have a chance to see it before entering.
Yi Bai simply did not turn into an eagle and soar, but turned into a human body and walked on the land of Chu County. He wanted to ask for a predestined method to enter the mountains.
He walked in the mountains for several days.
Finally, I saw the county seat of Chu County.
Look away from a distance.
The county seat where you can see hundreds of pheasants worshiped is far from comparable to counties such as Dongjie County or Sanjiang County.
Chu County is prosperous.
Yi Bai sighed in his heart.
Most of the counties he has entered are poor counties. The richer ones are Jiangshui County and Guping County, and the poorer ones are Haicheng County, Fuxian County and Zhangxian County.
But there is a county town in Chu County, but it is three points more prosperous than the wealthiest county town he has ever seen.
"The name of the county is Huai County?"
Yi Bai stepped forward, looked at the big characters on the city wall in the sunlight, and nodded secretly.
He strode forward, holding a handful of sand in his hand, blowing on it and turning it into a drop of money, ready to be asked for money by the soldiers at the city gate.
But to Yi Bai's surprise, the soldiers didn't ask for money, they just registered his background and let him in.
This made Yi Bai stunned for a while. He was used to seeing soldiers asking for money, but when he met someone who didn't want money, he didn't recover for a while.
As the saying goes, "The world is as black as crows."
Never thought that there are aliens here?
Yi Bai secretly thought it was rare.
He walked into the county town.
Sure enough, this county was much more prosperous than other counties he had seen.
Entering the county town, there are several avenues that seem to lead to various neighborhoods. The vendors are shouting and noisy, the teahouses are awakening, and the brothels are scented with rouge. It is chaotic but orderly.
'The county magistrate here is quite talented, which is rare. '
Yi Bai praised again.
He walked straight forward, passing by streets with many vendors. Seeing that he was dressed luxuriously, the people around him shouted louder, as if they wanted to attract his attention.
Yi Bai kept walking and walked forward.
…
Not long after.
Yi Bai walked through the streets and came to a small wonton stall and ordered a bowl of wontons. While eating, he chatted with the old man selling wontons.
"Old man, who is the magistrate of this county? Who is so famous and good at being an official? I see that Huai County is in good order."
Yi Bai sat on the horse, holding a big bowl in his hand, and asked with a smile.
"Sir, you will look like an outsider at first glance. The officials in my county are very good! If you ask anyone in the county, they will definitely praise our officials!"
When the old man heard this, he replied enthusiastically.
"This is rare. To be honest, I have traveled all over the country and visited many places in the past few years. I have seen that other places are either corrupt or poor, and the world is in chaos. It is the first time I have seen this in Huai County."
Yi Bai nodded in response, chewing wontons in his mouth and said.
"Sir, if you think Huai County is good, just live there."
The old man invited.
Yi Bai smiled and said nothing and did not answer.
After finishing a bowl of wontons, he took out the money from the pot.
This was the money left over from the last time Squirrel went shopping with him, and some food were stored in his pot.
He can clearly distinguish between how to give money using the spray technique and real money.
After Yi Bai gave the money, he stood up and left.
He had only taken two steps.
Suddenly I saw several people holding something in their arms and rushing forward quickly.
These people almost hit Yi Bai.
Yi Bai took a step and quickly stepped back to avoid being hit by these people.
"Sir, are you okay?"
The old man came over and said worriedly.
"It's okay, but what did those people just do? How could they be so sneaky as the gentlemen in Liang Shang?"
Yi Bai looked in the direction where several people were leaving and asked.
"These people... must be going to Caishikou. I heard that a prisoner was asked to be beheaded today. What these people are holding in their arms should be steamed buns. They want to borrow human blood for use. It is said that in recent days, the county has Many people suffer from righteous diseases, so they borrow blood from others and dip it in steamed buns. Maybe someone in the family will suffer from righteous diseases in the future, and it can also be cured."
The old man sighed and explained.
"Yi disease? Human blood steamed buns?"
Yi Bai soon understood.
The right disease is not tuberculosis.
Human blood steamed buns...
He has also heard of this. It is said to be effective in curing all diseases. Therefore, when a prisoner is executed, many people will often surround him and buy blood from the executioner to dip it in steamed buns.
But there is still such a thing in this county?
Yi Bai became interested.
He immediately went to where the previous few people had gone.
…
Not long after.
Yi Bai walked to the entrance of the vegetable market. The place was already bustling with people, people coming and going, and busy traffic, making it look like a busy market.
At this moment, many people were gathered in front of Caishikou, seemingly waiting for something.
Yi Bai squeezed through the crowd and looked inside. There was nothing there, only a few government officials maintaining order.
A yamen servant was walking around carrying a big basket. Many villagers threw steamed buns into the basket, took out money from their pockets and handed them to the yamen servant.
After a while, the basket was filled with steamed buns.
The yamen servant came to Yi Bai with a basket.
Yi Bai was stunned and subconsciously wanted to pick up a steamed bun.
The servant was so frightened that he backed away and cursed angrily: "You kid, what are you taking? If you don't put the buns away, just go further away. What are you doing by pushing to the front?"
Yi Bai was embarrassed and didn't refute, but he didn't back down either.
The yamen servant didn't scold anymore and turned around to collect the steamed buns elsewhere.
Yi Bai stood in front and looked around. He saw no prisoners, but a few government servants came from outside, bringing straw mats and reeds to build shacks.
"Old lady, where is the prisoner?"
Yi Bai looked at an old woman next to him who was also watching the show and asked.
"The prisoner hasn't arrived yet. He is now building a shack for the officer who will be responsible for his execution."
The old woman smiled and answered enthusiastically.
"That's it."
Yi Bai nodded.
He looked up at the sky. The scorching sun was in the sky and it was almost noon.
He wanted to join in the fun, but he wasn't impatient.
Yi Bai didn't wait long.
Gudongdong...
There was a sound of rolling wheels.
The crowd was agitated.
Yi Bai was busy looking behind him.
I saw a donkey cart approaching under the supervision of four government officials.
The donkey cart was covered with black cloth, so it was impossible to see what the people inside looked like.
The donkey cart came and stopped at the entrance of the vegetable market. The government servants uncovered the black cloth, and inside stood a thirty-year-old man with a sad face.
The yamen officer pushed the man out of the car and pushed him to the entrance of the vegetable market, where he kneeled on the ground. Another man came across a bowl of white rice with chopsticks inserted straight into the rice, which was called "Ciyang Rice".
When the man saw the white rice, he struggled hard and shouted loudly: "I am wronged! I am wronged!"
The yamen servant didn't care so much, he pried open the man's mouth and poured the rice inside.
Seeing this, Yi Bai was puzzled. This man's face didn't look like a villain. He just wanted to ask the old woman next to him why he was beheaded.
Unexpectedly, the old woman grabbed him and said excitedly: "You should hurry up and take a look. Boy, this is not common. If Ci Yang eats, he will be beheaded."
Yi Bai couldn't help but wonder why this old lady was so excited. Is it because the people here are strong and strong, or is it because the old lady has a wild temper...
