When the middle-aged woman heard someone coming to inquire about the little Taoist priest, she seemed a little wary and did not answer immediately. She opened the window and took a few glances. After confirming that no one was there, she closed the window tightly, locked the door, and whispered: "Young hero, Did this little Taoist commit something?"
Gu Xiaotian became interested and asked, "What do you know?"
The middle-aged woman whispered: "This little Taoist priest will come to our town every once in a while, either to gamble or set up a stall on the roadside to tell fortunes. It's a coincidence that every time When this little Taoist priest comes, there are always a few outsiders coming after him. I ask in every house if they have seen the little Taoist priest. Judging from their clothes, it seems that they should belong to some wealthy family, maybe even... An official!"
Gu Xiaotian thought to himself, could this little Taoist priest really be targeted by someone?
However, this is also unreasonable.
He's just a little Taoist priest, why go to such trouble to find him?
What's more, in Qu Xiaohan's words, this little Taoist priest is still far from being able to discern the secrets of heaven. He is just a bad Taoist priest who loves money and wine.
Gu Xiaotian continued to ask: "Auntie, when did this little Taoist priest come last?"
The middle-aged woman thought for a while, then scratched her head and said, "The latest time seems to have been two months ago. Anyway, in the past two months, many people have come over to ask about the whereabouts of this little Taoist priest, so I thought If this little Taoist priest has done something wrong, why don't you go to Old Man Wang's house tomorrow and ask?"
Old Man Wang is an old man in this small town and can be regarded as the mayor.
The relationship between the little Taoist priest and Old Man Wang is very good. When the little Taoist priest comes to the town, he usually stays at Old Man Wang's house at night. Moreover, Old Man Wang is originally a sick old man. Since the little Taoist priest came, he has become like a As if he were ten years younger, he did things with the widow every day.
The middle-aged woman packed up the noodles that Gu Xiaotian and the others had finished, told Gu Xiaotian Wang where the old man lived, and left.
Because there was only one bed, Gu Xiaotian had no choice but to lie on the ground.
The bed can only be left to Yao Yao and Qu Xiaohan.
Gu Xiaotian, who was lying on the ground, asked: "Leader Qu, can this little Taoist see through the secrets of heaven?"
"It shouldn't be possible. I've never seen a Taoist priest who drinks and gambles and can do anything. But there are indeed some strange things."
Generally speaking, these Taoist priests live in seclusion in Taoist sects and will not go down the mountain easily. As for those Taoist priests who say they are fortune tellers on the roadside, nine out of ten are just pretending and have no ability.
Perhaps there is only one Taoist priest who is real, but he is only a half-dabbler, far from being able to discern the secrets of heaven.
This kind of Taoist priest is easy to find if you want to find it. The range of activities is so large, and you can find traces at once.
But this little Taoist priest was hard to find. According to the middle-aged woman, many people came looking for the little Taoist priest during this period, but every once in a while, the little Taoist priest would come to the small town.
And it was all a coincidence. The little Taoist priest had just left one day, and a large army of troops came looking for him the next day.
Could it be that this little Taoist priest can really calculate something?
In short, if I ask Old Man Wang tomorrow, there should be some new clues.
...
The next day, Gu Xiaotian followed the middle-aged woman's words and came to the door of Old Man Wang's house.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and the person who opened the door turned out to be an elderly woman.
She has average looks but a decent figure.
The woman smiled seductively and said, "Looking for Old Man Wang? Go in, he is probably still in bed."
Before Gu Xiaotian could say anything, the woman had already stepped out of the door and left humming a little tune.
Gu Xiaotian already understood the connotation, but after all, this was someone else's internal matter, so it was hard for him to point fingers.
At this time, as the woman said, Old Man Wang was still sitting on the bed, smoking a big pipe in his mouth, making the whole room full of dirty smoke.
After seeing someone coming, Old Man Wang was not surprised at all. Instead, he spoke first and said, "Are you here to see the little Taoist priest again?"
Gu Xiaotian bowed his hands and said, "Exactly, I wonder what you know?"
Old Man Wang wanted to leave in a hurry, but when he was about to speak, he suddenly froze.
I remember that before the little Taoist priest left, he told Old Man Wang that if anyone came looking for him, he would just blow him away. No matter who the other person was, they would not embarrass Old Man Wang. But if one day, a young man carrying a sword next to him There will probably be a baby-faced woman and two men standing there. One looks a bit scholarly, and the other is carrying a sword case. If he comes to him with a little girl, tell them my movements and tell them the truth. Can. .
Old Man Wang carefully confirmed that he was indeed the person mentioned by the little Taoist priest. He immediately put on his pants and got out of bed and locked the door.
"You should be the people the little Taoist talks about."
Gu Xiaotian asked doubtfully: "What kind of person is he talking about?"
Old Man Wang then told what the little Taoist priest had said before he left.
Gu Xiaotian was shocked. Isn't this little Taoist a greedy man who loves money and gambles?
If it was said that Sansheng Sword was handed over to someone under instructions, then how should it be explained this time?
Qu Xiaohan was not in a hurry and just reminded Old Man Wang to continue talking.
Old Man Wang poured beans out of a bamboo tube one by one: "The little Taoist priest just came here not long ago, and he always stays here every time he comes. However, the little Taoist priest does have some skills. He can always calculate some things that I don't know." He helped me a lot, so in return, I help him keep his secret and let him stay at my place when he comes."
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Then where is this little Taoist priest now?"
But Old Man Wang shook his head, "I don't know. When he came to the town, he usually stayed at the gambling shop at the front of the town. When he got tired of gambling, he would go back to my house to eat and sleep. He usually only stayed for three to five days. I just left, and I don’t know how long it will be before I come back again.”
After all, Old Man Wang is not a god. The little Taoist priest just said that it is enough to tell the truth about the movements, and Old Man Wang did the same.
Old man Wang obviously had something to do. As soon as he put on his pants, he couldn't wait to go out without saying a few words. Gu Xiaotian and the others didn't stop him or ask any more questions.
A few people found the only small restaurant in the town, ordered some food, and sat on a bench. Gu Xiaotian never understood whether this little Taoist priest had the ability to see through the secrets of heaven, or whether he was just blind. Did the cat hit a dead mouse?
But it seems a bit difficult to guess them all.
Qu Xiaohan didn't dare to confirm it now, but said angrily: "If you can meet this little Taoist priest, it will be clear if you ask."
Duan Peng sat on the bench, took out the book of Taoism from his backpack, read it a few times, rubbed his temples and said: "In this vein of Taoism, you must be calm and calm in order to feel the laws of Taoism. For outsiders, just After just a few glances, he will become drowsy, restless, and unable to settle down at all. This little Taoist priest is always running around, and there is no reason why he can discern the secrets of heaven."
Gu Xiaotian was a little unwilling to believe in the Taoism but not the Taoism.
He has seen too many people who don't act according to common sense.
For example, Senior Brother Ling Ruogu at Taibai Xuandan Peak, or Wu Sangui from the Beggar Clan.
These two guys are people who don't play according to common sense, but they can still reach a very high level.
What if this little Taoist priest is also a person who doesn't act according to common sense?
A few people were eating when a man suddenly ran in from outside the small restaurant and sat down on a chair. He was somewhat out of breath and drank a large amount of water for himself, as if he had rushed over.
The key thing is that this person's attire is actually a Taoist uniform!
Gu Xiaotian was a little surprised. Could this little Taoist priest have figured out that he was coming today, so he came here specially?
Sure enough, after drinking the water, the little Taoist priest in Taoist uniform said hello to Gu Xiaotian, walked over slowly, sat down next to Gu Xiaotian, tapped his chopsticks, and was not polite at all. Dishes were placed on the table.
Gu Xiaotian originally wanted to ask, but the little Taoist priest interrupted him directly, "I'm asking after eating."
Everyone stared at the little Taoist priest sitting on the table. Finally, after eating until he was seven-quarters full, the little Taoist priest clapped his hands with satisfaction.
Stomach, smiled and said: "Gu Xiaotian! I knew you would come here to find me. Fortunately, I am not far away. I drove all night and finally got here, otherwise we would have passed each other."
Gu Xiaotian wondered: "I don't know you, how do you know who I am?"
The little Taoist priest smiled and said: "I not only know who you are, I also know who you are, but the secret must not be leaked."
Qu Xiaohan has been sizing up this little Taoist priest since just now. Just by looking and feeling, he can only be said to be a talented Taoist priest. His realm is not bad and his body is well polished. In addition, the rhythm of Taoism is in him. It's not noticeable at all.
But for such a person to say something like "the secret must not be leaked" is indeed a bit confusing.
Gu Xiaotian asked: "You seem to care about us particularly?"
The little Taoist priest nodded and did not hide it, "Of course, I have been paying attention to you since before you went to Oju Haishan. God told me to help you more."
"Jesus?"
The little Taoist priest pointed to the ceiling.
"You, a greedy person who likes gambling, can also see the secrets?"
The little Taoist priest clicked his tongue, "The reason for being greedy for money and gambling is to allow myself to experience the emotions of the world. If I had lost all my emotions, I would have gone to Tianmen long ago."
In the mouth of the little Taoist priest, it seems that the little Taoist priest's greed for money and gambling are helpless actions, otherwise he would have become an immortal by cultivating Taoism.
This is obviously bragging!
You're from the snow-blowing realm, why are you pretending to be here with me?
This is what Gu Xiaotian was thinking in his heart, but he did not express it.
On the contrary, the little Taoist priest suddenly smiled, "This realm thing, whether it is the Snow Blowing Realm or the Defeat Realm, even the lowest Sword Trial Realm, it is just an assistant. If you want to become an immortal, the realm is not that important."
Qu Xiaohan really couldn't see through this little Taoist priest, so he just asked, "Where do you come from?"
There are so many Taoist sects in the Bahuang Continent. Even though Qu Xiaohan traveled to so many places and listened to so many gossips, he still didn't know that such a strange Taoist sect existed.
The young Taoist priest stood up, bowed his hands and said, "Yunzhou Zhenwu, Zhao Qixing, has met Leader Qu."
