The five of them saw that Yuan Zhen had drunk three bowls of wine and was already very drunk. They didn't know why.
The wine in the bowls of the five people was not yet down, so they did not dare to drink it. For such a big shop, it’s not surprising that there are many articles in the wine. Just an hour ago, the six of them drank three bowls of Fairy Bai's fairy wine, but they didn't feel drunk at all. But he didn't expect that he couldn't bear this mortal wine.
The five of them were not hungry at all, they had just eaten a few big bites. Seeing that Yuan Zhen was drunk, he stopped eating. He called the waiter and gave him five taels of silver. Yuan Luo and Yuan Yu, one on the left and one on the right, were about to help Yuan Zhen and go downstairs. Then an old man with gray hair came forward and said to the five people with a smile: "Dear guests, can I ask for some water, wine and meat?"
"If you don't mind, old man, you can take them all. The beggar's chicken has not been touched, and there is still half a jar of wine."
The five of them were feeling sorry for this table of food and wine. When they saw someone asking for it, Qingxuan told the old man.
"Thank you to the five guests. Seeing that all of you have traveled a long way, you must have come from afar, right?" The old man grabbed the beggar's chicken and stuffed it into his mouth. He spoke in a slurred voice. He grabbed the side of the wine jar with the other hand and pointed towards it. He poured a sip of wine into his mouth. His methods are very sophisticated and he should be a frequent visitor here. It's just that this place where high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen gather, how can it accommodate beggars?
"It's considered a long journey."
Qingxuan responded. The six of them had been flying above the 3,000-foot strong wind for so long, and their hair had long been messed up. It makes sense to say that he is dusty.
"Do you have a place to stay? If you don't want to give up, you can stay in my humble residence temporarily."
Everyone didn't expect that the old man was quite grateful and even asked everyone if they had a place to live. But it is unknown whether this residence is also a dirty place.
"Where does the old man live? Is it far away from here?"
When Qing Yi saw the old man asking, he responded solemnly to show respect.
The six of them originally planned to finish their meal and continue their journey eastward with their swords. Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhen was drunk. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to leave for a while. He had to wait here for Yuan Zhen to wake up, possibly staying one night. Just when he was worried about finding a guest house, the old man asked first.
"The old Taoist lives in a small Taoist temple one hundred and sixty miles away, southwest of Jiangzhou County."
The old man said as he munched the beggar's chicken.
"The old man is from a Taoist sect?!"
Qing Yi said in surprise. The other four people were also surprised. I didn't expect that this old man would be a member of the Taoist sect, and I didn't expect that the old Taoist would fall into this situation. As for the one hundred and sixty miles outside the city, the five of them didn't think it was far subconsciously. Whether they were flying with air or flying with swords, one hundred and sixty miles was nothing.
"That's right. I am the only one left in our family. I am wandering around with no fixed place. When I am happy, I go back to live for a while. When I am unhappy, I just run around. Isn't the Taoist family just trying to be quiet and do nothing."
The old Taoist replied while carefully watching everyone's reactions. These five people were not surprised at one hundred and sixty miles away. They seemed to be masters of the world.
When everyone heard this, they were even more surprised. This old Taoist seems to be mediocre, but in terms of understanding, he is better than everyone else.
Anyway, since we are all from the Taoist sect, let’s go and have a look. We have so many people on our side, and they are already in the realm of Taixuan. With magic weapons and spells, even if there is deception, it can be dealt with.
"Then I have to thank you, Master."
Qingxuan changed his name and called the old man master to show respect.
"It's easy to talk about."
After the old man finished speaking, he carried the roast chicken in one hand and half a jar of rice flower stuffing in the other, and strode downstairs.
"Huh? This old man's skills are not bad!"
Yuan Yu and Yuan Luo supported Yuan Zhen and followed Lao Dao, followed by Qing Yi, Qing Xuan and Yan Ran.
After going downstairs three times and five times, the seven people walked quickly on the street facing Jiangzhou Tower.
Jiangzhou County is ten miles from north to south. This street just passes through the two city gates in the south and north of the city. Except for the detour at the county governor's office in the middle, the south and north ends are straight.
The old Taoist was walking a little faster on the street in Jiangzhou County because there were so many people. Although passers-by were surprised as to why these people were walking so fast, they were not shocked.
After leaving the city, the old Taoist walked faster and faster. As he walked, he secretly observed the six people behind him. Realizing that the six of them had been keeping up with him, they simply speeded up and took one step forward, which should be three feet away. If he were to run or leap, it would be normal. The distance he could cover in one go was not even comparable to that of a young disciple of the Qingshan Sect. Now it is a step of three feet without any vertical leap. It is like the technique of shrinking the ground into an inch. The five people looked at each other and felt that this old Taoist was very extraordinary.
If this was done before the six people entered Taixuan, they would certainly not be as good as the old Taoist. Now, even if the five of them are supporting Yuan Zhen, they can follow easily, as if their feet are not touching the ground, they are also following the old way lightly, one step at a time.
When the old man saw that the five people supporting the drunken young man could easily keep up with him, he was also secretly shocked. I knew that I was right and I had met an expert.
They just kept doing nothing. When the old Taoist saw that there were no pedestrians on the official road outside the city, he whispered to the five people: "Let's compete again."
After saying that, he actually raised his energy and jumped into the sky, flying towards the night sky a hundred feet high.
"It's actually the realm of Taixuan?!"
Qing Yi and Qing Xuan were very surprised, and then they changed hands and replaced Yuan Luo and Yuan Yu. They drove Yuan Zhen, and the three Yuan Ziyi flew into the sky and chased after Lao Dao.
Yuan Zhen was just staring in confusion. After being carried for more than ten miles, he was already mostly sober. At this time, he was lifted up in the air by his master and his uncle, and he immediately became completely drunk.
"Master, are you in a hurry?"
Yuan Zhen woke up in the air and moved forward with the two elders. Seeing that Yuan Zhen was completely awake, the two released their hands holding him.
"No, I've met someone of the same kind."
Qingxuan pointed at the old Taoist who was dozens of feet away in front of him and whispered.
Yuan Zhen suddenly realized.
After Yuan Zhen woke up, the two elders gave a light, and the six of them raised their spirits in mid-air. They came first and caught up with the old Tao who was flying forward at a height of a hundred feet.
The old Taoist was leaping forward proudly in the air. When he heard the whistling of the wind behind him, he looked back and said, "Good boy!" These six people can actually fly! And he actually caught up with himself. Needless to say, I have already lost.
The old Taoist turned around in the air, holding the beggar's chicken in one hand and the wine jar in the other. He bowed his hands to the six people behind him, and then burst into laughter.
Qing Yi and Qing Xuan bowed to the old man and laughed.
Immediately, the old man led the way, and the six people followed behind, controlling their energy and flying forward. Half an hour later, the seven people landed on a small mountain peak less than a hundred feet high.
"We're here. Fellow Taoists, please!"
The old Taoist landed and said to the six people.
Everyone looked up and saw a small Taoist temple appearing in front of them. Although it was night, the six of them could see clearly that the Taoist temple was made of red bricks and had only one gate, one courtyard and one hall. Perhaps due to its age, the green bricks on the courtyard wall and the gate have many damages.
The six people followed the old Taoist to the door of the Taoist temple. The old Taoist put down the wine jar, reached into the crack of the door, opened the door latch, and then pushed open the shaky door with a squeak.
Once the gate opens, there is a small courtyard. The small courtyard should be five feet wide and three feet deep. After three feet is the hall.
This hall is also five feet wide and should be two feet high. Above the nine-story bluestone steps is the closed palace door. Above the palace gate is a plaque that reads: "Taiyi Temple".
"Fellow Taoists, please come in."
The old Taoist walked in front of everyone and opened the palace door. The door of the palace fell to the ground with a bang. It seemed that this old Taoist had really not been back for a long time.
"It makes fellow Taoists laugh. Taiyi Palace has not been cleaned for a long time."
The old Taoist took out a plate from somewhere, wiped off the dust with his sleeve, put the remaining half of the roast chicken on it, and placed the wine jar on the ground. Then he picked up a feather duster and swept away the dust on the chairs on the left and right sides of the incense table.
"Fellow Taoist, please take a seat."
The six people were standing in the center of the hall, looking at the clay statues of gods enshrined in the hall. This god is about one foot tall, has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, is crowned with rosy clouds, has purple and gold auspicious features, and is sitting on a lotus throne.
"It's easy to talk about."
When the six people saw the old Taoist asking everyone to sit down, they all kowtowed to the god and sat on the wooden chairs.
"This is the golden body of the founder of the sect, his Taoist name is Miaoyan Zhenren."
The old Taoist saw that everyone was interested in the ancestor's clay sculpture body, so he explained it to everyone.
"I dare to ask my six fellow Taoists, where did I learn from you? We felt like old friends when we met today!"
The old Taoist thought to himself that he was lucky to have invited the six people to live in Taiyiguan, otherwise he would have missed the opportunity to get to know the six people.
It has been more than forty years since I reached my current state, and I am now over one hundred and twenty years old. For forty years, the world has been lonely. I have never met anyone who is the same as me. He thought he was the only immortal in the world.
Unexpectedly, we met six people today. Except for two who were slightly older, the other four were all young people. One man and one woman among the four are younger, seemingly just above their heads. It really surprised the veteran beyond measure.
"Teacher, we are disciples of Qingshan Sect in Xishu County."
Qingxuan was very thoughtful, and he didn't know his enemies or friends at the moment. Before he could figure out the details of the old Taoist, he didn't want to reveal too much information, so he just reported it to the sect.
"The Qingshan Sect must be a major sect, otherwise how could we enter the realm of real people?"
It was the first time that the old Taoist heard the name of Qingshan Sect.
Although he often traveled around the world after entering the "realm of real people" for the first time, he mostly traveled south to the east in Jiangzhou County and less to the west. After all, the Wushan Mountains are more than a thousand miles of continuous mountains to the west, which is no joke. I also tried it before, flying westward intermittently in the mountains for four to five hundred miles. I couldn't sustain my true energy and was miserable, so I went back home and gave up the idea of traveling westward.
The six of them were stunned. What kind of realm is this "Real Realm"?
The six of them suddenly realized that they had different names, and they all referred to the Taixuan realm. I don’t know who this old Taoist master is. Could it be that he is also a master in the realm of earthly immortals?
"I dare to ask Master, are you the only one in the temple? Are you a master or a senior brother?..."
Qing Yi asked tentatively, but the question was vague, and she really didn't know how to express it.
"My common name is Wang San. When I was sixteen years old, I followed my master to study martial arts. I was the only disciple of the master. He has already become an immortal and passed away. I never had any brothers."
The old Taoist was very happy. He understood what the middle-aged Taoist meant and simply said it directly.
"I'll take the liberty." Qing Yi replied, a little embarrassed. Others answered readily, but I was secretive. It is true that Vesutu has learned a lesson from the past. The world is dangerous and must be guarded against.
"Then Master Wang's mysterious skills were taught by his ancestors?"
Qingxuan asked next. He couldn't believe that someone who could teach him such immortal skills would actually become an immortal. Unless his master is also in the Taixuan realm and has not yet become an earthly immortal until his death. Otherwise, he will definitely live forever.
"My earthly skills were taught by my ancestor, who passed away more than eighty years ago."
"My master never entered the realm of real people in his life, and died in the earth at the age of more than ninety. My ability is due to other opportunities."
The old Taoist recalled the past while telling the six people about the past.
