The layman Cao Lu is definitely an honest man, because his residence is indeed a thatched cottage.
No! To describe it as a thatched cottage is a bit luxurious. It should be said that it is a tent built casually with branches and straw.
It’s just that there is a universe inside this tent!
Under the leadership of Master Caolu, everyone walked and stopped in the mountain forest. After walking for about half an hour, a cliff appeared in front of them.
On an exposed rocky platform, a thatched hut leans diagonally against the mountain wall. If it weren't for the obvious traces of artificial construction on the outside, and if it was said that the roof was blown over by strong winds, maybe some people would believe it.
However, after Gao Ning walked into the tent doubtfully, his eyes suddenly became clear.
In front of you is a courtyard that covers a large area, with rockery and rocks, small bridges and flowing water, and bamboo forests and waterside pavilions. It is as exquisite and elegant as a Jiangnan garden.
Especially those small buildings with carved beams and painted decorations, Miss Huang's eyes went straight when she saw them.
"This, this, this..." Miss Huang pointed forward and looked back at the unremarkable Moon Gate. She was so surprised that she couldn't speak a complete sentence.
Xiao Hui looked indifferent: "Yes, this is the master's retreat. Under normal circumstances, outsiders cannot set foot at all. There are many rooms here, and there is no shortage of food and clothing. If you need anything, just ask the puppet! "
"Puppet?" Gao Ning said in surprise.
"It's just a functional paper man!"
Xiao Hui scratched his head, unable to explain for a while, so he simply took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms, held it between the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and patted it in the palm of his left hand.
The yellow paper was instantly ignited, as if it had been soaked in gasoline. It burned to the ground in an instant. A wisp of green smoke spread out. From the side room next to it, several servants lined up and walked out.
Miss Huang screamed, took a step back in fear, and hid behind Gao Ning.
Gao Ning looked at it with interest.
It was discovered that although these servants behaved in a rude manner, the special makeup on their faces still revealed their identities.
It’s definitely a paper man!
Several people came over quickly and saluted uniformly. One of them said: "I have met you, sir. What are your orders?"
Xiaohui put his hands behind his back, cleared his throat and was about to speak, when Ma Shangfeng's loud voice rang out.
"Go and prepare some food, more wine and meat, we are almost starving to death!"
"Yes! Please wait a moment, sir. We will send him to the main hall in a moment!"
After saying that, several paper figures left quickly.
Xiaohui stared at Ma Shangfeng, bared his teeth, and wished he could pounce on him immediately and have a fight with him.
Ma Shangfeng smiled, his expression was very proud, yes, he did it on purpose!
Seeing that the two apprentices were about to fight again, Master Caolu put his hands behind his back and scolded: "You are still fighting when you get home. Go wash up quickly and go to the main hall for dinner later."
"Yes, Master!"
The two apprentices quickly stood up, bowed, and left together.
Master Caolu made an inviting gesture to Gao Ning and Miss Huang, and led the way to the backyard.
"There is an independent courtyard at the back, which is usually only used for sitting in a quiet room for retreat. It is quite quiet, so the two of you stood up and settled there!"
Miss Huang thanked her: "Thank you, layman."
"Hey! You are out of touch when you say this. I have troubled you before!" Cao Lu said with a smile.
Gao Ning looked around, scanning everything around him with his spiritual sense.
He was surprised to find that this place was not real, but a specious illusion.
It's just that it's so real that it can deceive not only the eyes, but also the body.
As long as you can't compete with Cao Lu in illusion, others can't see through it at all.
This is interesting!
Could this be the legendary formation here?
"Bushi, your place is great!" Gao Ning admired sincerely.
Master Caolu narrowed his eyes, obviously in a good mood.
He had heard this kind of words so many times that he was already calm in his heart, but when these words came out of Gao Ning's mouth, he was still a little proud.
Although he didn't know how the Japanese Ghost King was defeated, he was sure that Gao Ning was definitely a master.
Traveling through the world is by no means as simple as passing through a door. He has experienced it personally and knows that it also contains some kind of strange energy that corrodes the body.
Ordinary people simply cannot bear it.
In order to deal with this kind of erosion, he deliberately used secret methods to change the lives of the two of them, turning them into powerful bodies of gold and silver protectors, so that they could smoothly pass through the Mysterious Gate of Heaven and Earth.
Miss Huang is a little weird, maybe the remnant soul is protecting her, but Gao Ning is a completely ordinary person.
At least in his opinion, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
But by chance, the other party was able to cross over safely, and even maintained the mentality of traveling around.
If you think about it deeply, it's scary.
Considering that the other party was a ruthless man who had defeated the Japanese Ghost King, Master Caolu had always remained vigilant.
Leaving the two of them in the thatched cottage actually gave them a sense of knowledge.
Gao Ning also knew, but everyone knew it well and didn't say it clearly.
Only Miss Huang still foolishly thought that Master Caolu was really eager to help and had no selfish motives at all.
"There is something in Mr. Gao's words!" Caolu Jiaji chuckled and looked at Gao Ning. "Is it possible that Mr. Gao wants to learn Taoism?"
"Forget about Taoism! It's too advanced. I don't have the qualifications, and I don't want to waste that time! I am very interested in the method of opening the immortal cave. I wonder if the layman can teach him a thing or two?"
Gao Ning didn't beat around the bush, he got straight to the point and made his purpose clear.
Master Caolu smiled slightly, as if he wasn't too surprised.
"The master's secret skills will not be passed on to anyone else. Please forgive me, Mr. Gao!"
Gao Ning nodded and didn't force it: "Okay, it's me who is unlucky!"
"I dare not say that! Mr. Gao's luck..." Master Caolu narrowed his eyes and shook his head slightly: "Even a poor man can't see through it!"
While talking, the bamboo forest path has reached the end, and there is a small courtyard in front of it.
Cao Lu led the two of them and pushed the door open. Inside was a typical courtyard house. The main hall enshrined the Sanqing and the Patriarch. There were various memorial tablets and incense burning. There were quiet rooms on the left and right sides with an area of 30 About flat.
However, there was only a low bed in the room and no daily necessities.
Fortunately, Master Caolu was already prepared.
He immediately took out a talisman from his sleeve, flicked it with his finger, and the talisman turned into a wisp of smoke, instantly filling the entire room.
Caolu layman pointed his swords together, drew a talisman in the air, and pointed back.
A pile of green smoke shot into the opposite room, and the quiet room in front of it had a completely new look.
The low couch turned into a bed, and the room was equipped with screens, bathtubs, tables and chairs, green plants, and all kinds of living supplies. It looked like a carefully prepared inn.
Gao Ning turned around and found that the room opposite also had a completely new look.
The decoration and furnishings inside are exactly the same as the room here, just like looking in a mirror.
This is amazing!
interesting!
Master Caolu smiled and put down his hand: "I won't disturb your rest. If you need anything, there are talismans in the room that can summon puppets. By the way, a banquet has been set up in the main hall. If you are interested, you can also We can come and have something to eat together!”
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute!"
Gao Ning made an OK gesture, turned around and entered his room.
He was going to study these seemingly real things and see if they could be replicated by using gold to form an array.
Ms. Huang felt extremely uncomfortable all over and wanted to take a shower and change her clothes. After all, she was still wearing the same wedding dress.
This was after this trip, the wedding dress had turned into a wedding dress, and the branches of the big skirt were hanging thin in many places, and there was nothing under the skirt. She always felt flustered.
No matter what, I have to change my outfit.
Master Caolu smiled and bowed, then turned and left.
