Outside the south gate of Shanyin County, there was a sudden crowd of people.
A lot of people were looking at a white-haired old man there.
The old Taoist wore a broken Taoist robe, tied around his waist with a hemp rope, and carried a fishing drum behind his back. .
"But it is said that when the heaven and earth were first divided, and the Hongmeng was just dividing, there were seven innate spiritual roots. One is called Fusang, which is in the east of the East China Sea, where the great sun lives. The other is Jianmu, which is in the wilderness of Duguang and connects the heaven and the earth. The other is Ruomu. , located in Youdu, suppressing all ghosts."
"These three innate spiritual roots, called spiritual roots, are actually the three roots of life, death, and immortality in heaven and earth. Those who get Fusang will be like the sun rising in the east, with endless vitality. Those who get Ruomu will be the master of the Youdu, and hundreds of ghosts will follow their orders. Those who are able to build trees can communicate with heaven and earth and have immortal magical powers.”
"If we were to price these three innate spiritual roots, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to buy them home with a mountain of copper coins and as much silk as a river. Even today's Emperor of Daliang and Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty couldn't exchange them for a sum of money and rivers. .”
Suche and the little fox happened to walk outside the south gate. Seeing the old Taoist's talk, they couldn't help but walk forward to take a look at the excitement.
"This Taoist doesn't look like he's practicing."
Suche found a corner and watched the man speak and behave like an ordinary person.
This cultivator swallows the sun, drinks the moon, and adopts yin and yang. There is always something different when he enters the practice.
To put it mildly, most of them have some "out-of-the-world aura" in them.
The person in front of me was talking very eloquently, but I always felt that it was what I often heard from the merchants selling whetstones and stuffing grinders at the morning market before I traveled through time.
Somewhat quackish.
The little fox held an umbrella in his left hand and frowned.
"Everyone, my disciple of Xiaodao, I call you Taishang. You all know that in the world today, each Taoist sect has its own sect, including Tianshi Tao, Huangtian Tao, Shenxiao Tao, Shangqing Tao, Quanzhen Tao, Louguan Tao, Chunyang Tao, all kinds of things, you can push it up to the ancestors, there is a supreme Taoist ancestor, the highest and true, these many Tao sects always come from the same family."
"Later, everyone separated and lived their own lives. This lineage in Xiaodao worshiped Taoist Master and still took the name of Taishang. One of the seven spiritual roots at the time of the creation of the world was passed down here in Xiaodao. Today, I am lucky enough to meet all of you. Take out this spiritual root and give it as a gift."
As he spoke, the old Taoist took out a small jade hoe from his sleeve and slowly dug a pit in the ground.
"This spiritual root comes from the beginning of the differentiation of heaven and earth. At that time, the five elements were not yet determined, so they could not touch the things of the five elements. When they meet water, they turn into ashes, when they meet earth, they become ashes, when they meet gold, they die, when they meet fire, they are extinguished, and when they meet wood, they become stiff." The old Taoist said. Then he said: "Only by using this jade hoe to stabilize the nature of the earth and nourishing it with the two qi of yin and yang can it survive."
As he spoke, he took out a seed from his sleeve, gently put it into the pit, and then covered the soil with his hands.
"Taoist, how can your bird roots grow without seeing the sun or water?"
"The Taoist master's roots will grow when he sees a nun. You know a thing."
"After all, I still want to cheat money. You see, this guy always wants money."
The Taoist smiled and said: "Don't worry, just recite a mantra and it will grow."
"The east leads to the north, the west leads to the south, the god of the valley is immortal, and she is the mysterious female."
The Taoist stepped forward and pointed with his right hand.
"rise."
I saw a green vine, like a living snake, twisting and twisting out of the ground.
After a while, the vines grew into the thickness of a bowl, with green leaves spread out like claws on them, and several fist-sized melons slowly grew out from them.
"Taoist, you are selling melons, don't you know how sweet they are?"
Some of the villagers below were also making noises.
The Taoist smiled and just picked the fist-sized melons from it. Thirty-six melons in total were piled at his feet.
"Is it sweet? Why don't you throw it open and take a look."
As he spoke, he took off the fishing drum from behind his waist and smashed the melons below.
The skin of the melon broke open, and the yellow pulp rolled around. Small human heads rolled out from inside, each with their hair in a bun and their eyes closed. The pulp of the melon stuck to their faces and flowed out along their mouths and noses.
"My fellow villagers, look at the thirty-six bandits from Fubo Mountain. They practice evil arts and do many evil things. The leader of the bandits changed his body, seized the body of the prince of Che Shiwang, and defiled the palace. This is how His behavior can be described as a human devil, and I have used this spiritual root to save him."
Darling, I made a mistake this time.
Suche couldn't help but be curious.
According to the old Taoist Baimao, one of the crimes of the few thieves in this mountain was to change their bodies and take away the body of the prince of Cheshi King.
As a time traveler, can I be charged with "changing bodies"?
One of the important reasons why I hid from Jiankang City in the first place was that I was afraid that others would see the clues, but unexpectedly I met an expert who wanted to do justice for heaven in Shanyin County.
The white-haired old man picked another small melon from the vine.
"There is a saying that chickens are no more than six, and dogs are no more than eight. These animals are like fireworks in the world, and over time they will give birth to spirits. There was an old man in Wannian County who died on the road when he was out on a business trip. There was an old dog at home that he had raised for ten years, and it turned into a monster. The old man took over his family property, and all his old wives and concubines became slaves of monsters, and even designed to kill the old man’s two children.”
The old Taoist swung the melon down, and a dog's head was smashed out of the melon pulp.
"How can I keep such an evil thing with my spiritual roots?"
"There is also this one." The old Taoist took another small melon from the vine and threw it on the ground: "This centipede originally grew up in Shanyin County. It was moved to Guobei County a few years ago and is used in mass graves. She eats the brains of dead corpses, and is born with all things. She drinks and pecks her, but it doesn't matter at first. Who knows that she has developed magical powers and has the idea of children. She transforms into a coquettish woman, specially checking the young people who are not yet adults. Thirteen good children have been harmed, hehe, and now they are in my trap."
The skin of the melon was splashed everywhere, and the flesh of the melon was left on the ground. There were still human and animal heads of various sizes inside, and there seemed to be breathing between the mouth and nose.
The crowd of onlookers finally came to their senses.
Killing people, the evil way.
As soon as the onlookers shouted, they all left immediately, leaving only Suche and Little Fox still staying where they were.
I met an expert today.
"Well, one of these seven spiritual roots is called righteousness. Please do good deeds and refrain from doing evil. Otherwise, if you bump into this spiritual root, the underworld will have an easy time and the gods will not be able to forgive you."
The old Taoist priest looked at the empty space before his eyes, clapped his hands gently, and sighed.
"It takes a lot of effort to perform this love scene. No one has watched it yet. Young man, do you think it is difficult for an experienced person?"
"Persuading people to do good is really useless." Su Che looked at the Taoist priest in front of him and knew that he had met a true immortal today.
This illusion spell blinded the little fox next to him, and it made the cloud fox who came out of Yun Shen in the East China Sea unable to see why. This person was either a living god in the game world, or an old monster who roamed the world.
"It is indeed useless. Because of this matter, I had a quarrel with several other tutors at the beginning of this year, and finally we came to make peace."
A man wore a high hat and a mysterious robe, and there was a faint flash of thunder in his eyes.
He flicked his tail.
"Master Su, Huang Tiandao and Wei Zhisheng have met him."
