"Sixth Brother."
Shu Guan respectfully called out to the young Taoist priest named Sang Liren.
Sang Liren looked at Shu Guan's face carefully for a while and said as if he was relieved:
"Fortunately, it's much better than last time."
Then, the young Taoist priest put away his playful smile and bowed to Shu Guan equally cautiously and meticulously.
"I've met the Seventh Junior Brother."
"Okay, Sixth Junior Brother, please continue to guard the mountain gate. Seventh Junior Brother, you come with me to meet the other senior brothers and sisters."
Mu Yao continued to move forward with Shu Guan, and the pleasant laughter of the Sangli people came from behind.
"Sixth Junior Brother feels that there will be another person who can guard the gate for him in the future."
Mu Yao explained this to Shu Guan.
Shu Guan said oh.
The two stepped on the grass that was wet with morning dew and walked towards the lake, feeling soft like a blanket under their feet.
The four-legged snake on Shu Guan's shoulder suddenly crawled down Shu Guan's body quickly and got into the grass. Soon it was out of sight.
Maybe it found some bugs in the grass that it likes to eat.
Since this guy knows how to hide in a bamboo box and follow him out of Taoyuan Village, he shouldn't get lost now.
Shu Guan thought so.
"Seventh Junior Brother, this four-legged snake of yours has gained some spirituality."
Mu Yao smiled and said to Shu Guan.
"Spirituality?"
Shu Guan raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"Yes, spirituality. Nowadays, it is almost impossible for the birds and animals in the world to cultivate their own spirituality. Seventh Junior Brother, where did you find this four-legged snake?"
"I came from my family."
"That's no wonder. If it is a creature in that valley, it is possible for it to have its own spirituality. As for spirituality..."
Mu Yao was about to start talking endlessly, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he paused and smiled sheepishly.
"Let Master and Seventh Junior Brother discuss these matters in detail!"
While walking and chatting, the two of them had arrived at the lake. There was a group of white corvettes floating and sinking on the lake, catching small fish in the water. When they saw the two coming, they all turned their heads and looked at Shu Guan curiously.
Shu Guan suddenly felt like he was under the gaze of everyone.
These white corvettes seem to have the spirituality that Brother Mu just mentioned.
Then Shu Guan raised his eyes to look at the lake, and then he was surprised to find that under the waterfall on the opposite cliff, there was a figure sitting, with a slender figure, like a woman, but the waterfall fell into the lake, stirring up clouds of mist, but I couldn't see the woman's face clearly.
"That's your junior senior sister Rui Jianqiao, come on, let's go there."
Then the two of them walked around the lake shore and drove under the cliff. They saw a group of rocks above the water under the cliff. Shu Guan followed Mu Yao and stepped on the rocks to the bottom of the waterfall.
But he saw a woman wearing a bright red Taoist robe sitting cross-legged in a slightly concave cave in the cliff.
The woman was in her early thirties, and her face was not stunning. Her delicate facial features and slender body made her look a little awe-inspiring despite her snow-like skin and the fiery red robe.
The woman had her eyes closed, and there was a four-foot-long sword lying across her knees, with a green scabbard and a black hilt.
The water splashed under the waterfall, but the agitated water mist floated away quietly when it reached three feet in front of the woman, and not a drop touched the woman's Taoist robe.
Seemingly hearing the footsteps of the two people, the woman opened her eyes.
The moment the woman opened her eyes, the originally delicate and elegant facial features suddenly became sharp. Shu Guan and the woman looked at each other with extremely bright eyes, and it felt as if they were looking directly at lightning.
"Third Junior Sister, this is Master's new disciple Shu Guan."
"Shu Guan has met Third Senior Sister."
Shu Guan quickly saluted again.
The divine light in the woman's eyes faded away, and she returned to her gentle and graceful appearance as a Jiangnan woman.
"Hello, seventh junior brother."
The woman smiled and nodded to the point, then closed her eyes again.
Mu Yao motioned Shu Guan to follow him and leave.
After stepping on the rocks and returning to the shore, Mu Yao said:
"Third junior sister is practicing swordsmanship. She doesn't like to talk to others on weekdays. She just spends her whole day studying swordsmanship under this waterfall."
Then he sighed again and continued to introduce Shu Guan:
"The third junior sister was originally from Shencheng. She was an official in the Great China Dynasty. When she was young, her family suffered a disaster and she was abducted and sold to Jingcheng. Later, she was rescued by her master, and then she became a disciple of her and has practiced Taoism to this day. "
Shu Guan discovered that Senior Brother Mu Yao was indeed the best candidate for a tour guide.
The two of them walked up a winding path next to the cliff. Beside the path, there were sparse houses built against the mountain. When they turned around a small building, they suddenly saw an old pine growing on the cliff. , the tree trunk poked out diagonally, and under the canopy like a giant umbrella, there were stone tables and chairs. There was a chessboard on the stone table, with dozens of chess pieces scattered on the chessboard.
Beside the stone table, there was a middle-aged man in a yellow robe sitting, holding a white piece in his left hand and a black piece in his right hand, playing chess with himself.
This man is in his forties, has three long beards, is handsome, has a calm expression, and is full of the charm of a mature man.
Seeing Mu Yao and Shu Guan approaching, the middle-aged Taoist priest in yellow robe smiled, stood up from the stone table, held his hands and saluted.
"An Zichun has met the second senior brother."
Then his eyes fell on Shu Guan.
"This must be the seventh junior brother!"
"This is the fifth senior brother, An Zichun."
Mu Yao pointed at the middle-aged yellow-robed Taoist priest and introduced him to Shuguan.
Is this the fifth senior brother?
During this period, he heard about this fifth senior brother the most during the conversations between Li Zhixia and Mu Yao.
For example, the original Thousand Miles of Divine Movement Talisman was drawn for the Fifth Senior Brother.
Li Zhixia also mentioned that this fifth senior brother was good at formations.
Moreover, the fifth senior brother seemed to have calculated the time he arrived at the mountain today.
Then Shuguan respectfully bowed his luggage for the third time and said:
"Shuguan has met Fifth Senior Brother."
An Zichun waved his hand and said:
"In the past few days, I have been listening to Senior Brother Mu saying that the new Seventh Junior Brother is a person who has already channeled spirits before he has even started to practice. When I meet him today, he is indeed extraordinary."
...This fifth senior brother is very good at praising others...
Shu Guan was thinking this when he saw Mu Yao smiling and saying to An Zichun:
"Today I meet Junior Brother Seventh for the first time. Do you want to help him tell fortunes?"
"Okay. I wonder what Junior Brother Seventh wants to do?"
An Zichun turned to Shu Guan and asked.
If it was in his previous life, Shu Guan would never believe in these fortune-telling things, but in this world, there should really be people who can accurately predict the fate of others.
Shu Guan thought for a while and then said:
"Can you please help me do the calculations, Fifth Senior Brother? This time, many villagers followed me to Jingcheng. I wonder if they will be able to live here in the future."
An Zichun smiled and shook his head:
"This hexagram is too big, and my Taoism is too shallow, so I don't dare to calculate it."
Then he turned around and thought:
"How about I help Seventh Junior Brother calculate how many times you will step with your left foot and how many times with your right foot in the next ten steps when you leave?"
Shu Guan was slightly startled. What's the point? As long as he takes the first step, the next sequence will be determined. Even if he guesses blindly, there is a 50% chance of guessing correctly.
Then he found An Zichun looking at him with a half-smile.
Shu Guan's heart moved. Does this mean that he can go wherever he wants?
Then he nodded and said hello.
"Then please ask the Seventh Junior Brother to randomly pick a chess piece from the chess box and place it on the chess board."
Shu Guanyan took a black stone from the chess box and placed it among the chess pieces on the chessboard.
An Zichun stared at the chessboard for a while, then took out the banknotes from under the stone table, wrote a line of words on the paper, folded it and handed it to Shu Guan.
"Seventh Junior Brother, you can open it after ten steps."
Shu Guan took the note.
"Seventh Junior Brother, let's go then."
Then Mu Yao said this.
Shu Guan smiled apologetically at An Zichun, holding the note in his hand, turned around, bent his right leg, jumped ten steps forward with his left foot, and then opened the note.
I saw a line of words clearly written on the note:
Take ten steps with your left foot, like a rabbit leaping.
Shu Guan stayed there.
Behind him, Mu Yao's uncontrollable chuckle came.
"Fifth Junior Brother's hexagram is still very accurate."
