Half of the price of the wine is more than 7,000 colorful stones, which is a lot of money for ordinary Hedao. Most Hedao cannot afford it.
Dugu Taiyue's plan was that if the wine woman paid half of the drink money on the spot, he would continue to ask questions on this topic and find out the origin of her colorful stones. No matter whether the answers were true or false, there was always a way to verify them one by one.
If the drunken woman couldn't take out so many colorful stones, she would definitely find a way to get them, which would be even better. As long as she kept an eye on her whereabouts, she might be able to dig out the truth behind the scenes.
As for the last possibility, the wine woman turns her spiritual mountain into a colorful stone to pay for the wine. Dugu Taiyue believes that this possibility is extremely low. Since wine is used to heal the Tao, drinking wine will of course increase the number of drinks for the wine woman. It’s for further study, otherwise how could she become a Taoist? Furthermore, for an ordinary Hedao, more than one million colorful stones are almost the entire wealth of Lingshan Barrier. If all of it is spent on buying wine, how can she maintain her practice?
As expected, the wine woman couldn't take it out, so she said to Dugu Taiyue: "Three days, you come in three days, or I look for you, where are you?"
Dugu Taiyue replied: "As a junior, I am doing business and traveling around. It is better that I come to the Jiuxian."
The wine woman solemnly made a vow to replace the advance payment for the wine, and asked Dugu Taiyue to bring Luofu Bai over three days later, with more than 14,000 multicolored stones, each of which was settled on the spot.
Dugu Taiyue agreed and left Baisha Ridge.
But he did not go far, but waited on an adjacent mountain ridge, keeping his breath to a minimum and staring at Baisha Ridge.
I have been staring at it for several hours. Although I feel a little tired, I still don't relax at all. Stalking is an essential skill that monks in the academy have developed over a long period of time. Back then, Dugu Taiyue started stalking from the ordinary Qi Refining realm, and continued to stalk until he broke through the realm to refine the void. He no longer used this skill until he became a monk in the academy. It can be said that After a lot of hard work, I have become perfect, and now I am back to my old job, and I immediately regained the feeling I had back then.
When the moon was in the middle, I suddenly saw a figure flying out of the white sand ridge and flying towards the southwest.
Dugu Taiyue was refreshed and did not dare to follow him immediately. He thought that he would not be able to keep up with Hedao's flight. He just waited for a while. After the wine woman flew away, he took out the bottle of wine she drank during the day and punched it. He opened the talisman, and the talisman was burning on the wine bottle, emitting a ray of light, pointing directly in the direction where the wine woman left.
The Shenzang Seeing Light Talisman, which has been greatly improved by Master Yutian, has a larger tracking range and stronger durability!
Dugu Taiyue does not chase people, but his whereabouts, so there is no risk of being discovered. Using multiple talismans in this way, he chased for two to three hundred miles, and entered a dense forest ahead. There was a pool in the forest, and a stone pavilion beside the pool, where the wine woman had obviously stayed.
Based on Dugu Taiyue's experience in handling cases, he immediately speculated that this was a meeting point, either in person or by leaving a message. No matter which way it was, the drunken woman's whereabouts were abnormal and the suspicion was growing.
He cautiously entered the pavilion and searched carefully for clues. He soon found an abnormality on a stone pillar. The words or symbols engraved on it had been erased. There was still obvious warmth under the touch of his fingers, indicating that it was Just erased.
After leaving the stone pavilion, he continued to follow, but found that the wine woman was gradually heading eastward, traveling thousands of miles. When he looked up, he saw a towering mountain in front of him, which was Dongyue.
The Five Mountains Luoshui is the key to the connection between the heavens. In all thirty-three worlds, its mountain shape and water potential are the same, while Dongyue is more important because it is the gate of heaven for all thirty-three days to enter and exit the world.
The destination of the drunken woman is otherworldly heavens.
Dugu Taiyue pushed open the Kong Shengshi Heavenly Gate, stood in the void, and looked towards the Heavenly Gate. Of course, it was impossible to see the figure of the drunken woman driving the Lingshan Mountain, but he had already made sufficient preparations, and the Shenzang Seeing Light Talisman was fully prepared. , just go to each Tianmen one by one.
Of course, the first batch of choices were Beiyin Shi, Heyang Shi, and Yongcheng Shi. If the drunken woman was involved in the spiritual eye theft case, these three places were the most likely to be where she would withdraw the money.
More than half an hour later, Dugu Taiyue entered Beiyin Shitianmen, and his eyes suddenly darkened, and it was like a drowsy world. There were countless layers of black clouds in the sky. The clouds rolled strangely, and flashes of lightning flashed out from time to time. Bare stone mountains, bottomless abyss, and karst rivers flowing with lava all indicate that this is a land of death.
Even though he was already at the peak of Void Refining, Dugu Taiyue, who was considered a top expert among the monks, could not help but feel palpitations in his heart, and secretly prayed: Not here, never here.
Shenzang saw the light talisman sacrificed outside the Tianmen, and a ray of light spread in all directions, immediately attracting the attention of a group of black crows, flying from a distance, hovering above the head of Dugu Taiyue. Guanglan swept hundreds of feet around Tianmen, but did not find the whereabouts of the drunken woman. Dugu Taiyue couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly turned around and exited.
It happened that the Tianmen of Heyang Shi moved to the closest place to Beiyin Shi. Dugu Taiyue rushed there and arrived in less than two moments. After entering the Tianmen, here is a completely different world. Endless ice fields appear in front of you. The wind blows the flying snow and rages between the sky and the earth. The coldness erodes the body and faintly penetrates into the meridians, making Dugu Taiyue feel quite uncomfortable.
This is the world of Yinnuba, the biggest enemy in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Suddenly I felt something strange behind me, and I saw a Hedao coming in from outside the Tianmen. He glanced at Dugu Taiyue, and then he stood up and flew into the wind and snow.
Dugu Taiyue took another look out of the Tianmen, and saw that there was no Lingshan barrier approaching, so there should be a good gap period, so he quickly played the Shenzang Seeing Light Talisman.
Then, he saw the feedback from the wine woman's breath.
Dugu Taiyue took a deep breath and felt extremely regretful. He quite admired this wine-addicted female fairy and was impressed by her boldness and generosity. Unfortunately...
And he really doesn’t want to enter the Heyang world!
But the matter has come to this, and it is useless to say anything. Dugu Taiyue can only follow the direction indicated by Guanglan and enter the wind and snow.
The deeper they go, the more nervous Dugu Taiyue feels. The tension comes from the hostility between Yin Nuba and Wu Sheng, the two world masters, and also from the oppression caused by the wind and snow.
After walking forward in the wind and snow for more than two hours, we entered an ice valley ahead. The three words "Sealing Spirit Valley" were engraved on the large ice crystal in front of the valley. There were two signs reflected by the divine hidden light talisman. The drunken woman went in and came out again.
Are those colorful stones taken from here? Did she hide the colorful stones here? Or is her accomplice inside?
Dugu Taiyue pondered for a moment, found a hiding place, dug a snow cave, hid in it, and waited patiently in the ice and snow. He waited until the afternoon of the next day and saw no one coming in or out. Therefore, he began to think that this ice valley was a treasure trove.
Climbing out of the snow cave and filling up the hole again, Dugu Taiyue was covered with snow. This was naturally the best effect. He did not brush off the snow and just walked into the ice "tremblingly". valley.
The ice valley is not deep, and after walking for more than thirty feet, a small paradise appears in front of you. The heavy snow and cold wind above are blocked by the protruding cliffs, so that the five or six acres of valley below are as warm as spring, with fruit trees, flowers and grass. , there are deep pools, swimming fish, and two thatched huts against the inner cliff.
Dugu Taiyue was about to open his mouth to test, using the excuse that he was lost in the wind and snow, but his expression suddenly changed, and he smelled a faint smell of blood.
He cautiously approached the hut on the left, with Etai Yue Jin Dou guarding him in front of him. He leaned in and saw a corpse lying in the house, which had been dead for a long time.
After searching the house for a while, I didn't find any objects left behind by the body that could prove its identity. It was actually cleaned cleanly. If Shen Zang's Seeing Light Talisman hadn't brought him here, there wouldn't be anyone there in a few days. Know by whose hands he died.
Dugu Taiyue quickly left here and erased all traces of his visit. On his way back to Kong Shengshi, based on his years of experience in handling cases, he roughly sorted out the clue: In order to pay for the drink, the drunken woman went to the stone pavilion to pick him up. I got a mission and then rushed here to kill people. If the person killed was a Hedao, the wine woman's harvest would be extremely rich, which also explains the reason why she spent huge sums of money to buy wine in the past two years.
Of course, it also alleviates the suspicion of stealing spiritual eyes to a certain extent - if you participated in stealing spiritual eyes, you would not be short of money to take on a murder mission just over a month later.
In order to further confirm his idea, Dugu Taiyue returned to Fengtai, bought three jars of Luofu Bai from Xiao Shi on credit, and transported them to Baisha Ridge.
The wine woman happily paid 15,000 colorful stones without even asking Dugu Taiyue for change. She held the jar and poured it into her mouth. After finishing the jar, she finally stopped, bent over and coughed loudly. A mouthful of blood.
Dugu Taiyue said in a daze: "Senior is injured."
The drunken woman managed to stop her coughing: "Let's go!"
Dugu Taiyue nodded and left silently. There was another coughing sound behind him.
He killed someone for drink money and was seriously injured as a result. It didn't look like he was involved in stealing spiritual eyes.
The last one is Xue Xuantong. In the order of Dugu Taiyue's investigation, this female fairy ranked last because she had been living in the Sou Shen world and was married to Feng Hui, a mortal in the Sou Shen world.
That's right, as a Hedao female fairy, Xue Xuantong married a mortal with no cultivation. For ten years after the couple got married, she never left the world of Sou Shen, let alone the world of Sou Shen. She never even left Feng Hui's administration. in the river.
After observing in recent months, Dugu Taiyue can be sure that Xue Xuantong is truly in love with her husband, and has given birth to a son and a daughter. The youngest daughter was born in March. Xue Xuantong has not left the house for half a year, and this is still the case today. .
At this point, the investigation came to an end. Dugu Taiyue returned to Lushan and found that Luo Lingfu had not returned yet and should still be in the Beiyin or Heyang era.
Thinking of the hairy monkey in the Eight Wilderness Mountains of the Mysterious World, Dugu Taiyue decided to fulfill his promise and take him out for a walk. The heavens were already connected, but the hairy monkey was still trapped in a corner, ignorant of the changes in the outside world. Even such a hard-hearted person like him couldn't bear it.
It is undeniable that Dugu Taiyue also has selfish motives. If you can become a good friend with it and make it obey your words, wouldn't that be a great guarantee for your practice?
When he came to Longhu Hall, he saw the person sitting at the door and asked, "Zhongli, is the great scholar here?"
The guardian of Longhu Hall was still Zhong Liying. He stood up and replied: "The Great God of the Real Spiritual World, Wei Shuqing, has come to pay his respects. The great scholar has been out with him for half a month. I don't know when he will return. If there is something urgent, Dugu Fengsheng can follow the precedent and go to see him." Fellow bachelors."
Dugu Taiyue asked again: "Zhongli, are you about to enter the void?"
Zhong Liying nodded: "I always feel that I am only half a step away, but I still can't take this half step."
Dugu Taiyue took out a jug of wine: "I bought it in Woye. Just try it. Drink it in small sips. Don't pour it into your stomach. It will be too much. Zhongli, don't worry. I was stuck on this half-step for twenty years. 豼How long? Only eight years, be patient."
Zhong Liying bowed and said, "I've been feeling a little restless lately. Thank you very much for your advice. I would be disrespectful to refuse this wine."
When Wu Sheng was away, Dugu Taiyue went to see Yan Boqiao again. After hearing the purpose of his visit, Yan Boqiao said: "This is a good thing. It is best to bring this hairy monkey to live with me in the Spring and Autumn Period. If not, I will keep some affection for you in the future." Maybe it will come in handy. In this case, you can go to the accounting office and withdraw three thousand colorful stones for expenses, so that you can treat your guests more generously."
Dugu Taiyue didn't know much about the situation of the Xiandu Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, and Qingcheng Mountain Academy, but here in Lushan, every bachelor had a sum of colorful stones in the public account to be used to meet various expenses. The amount is 30,000 yuan per year. Just to provide hospitality, Yan Boqiao allocated 3,000 yuan to himself, which shows that he still values this matter very much.
As a disciple, Dugu Taiyue also has a sum of colorful stones to use every year, but the number is only three thousand. He has already prepared to use this colorful stone to receive the hairy monkey demon god, but he is afraid that it will not be enough, so Yan Boqiao will allocate it. If you have three thousand, you will have more money.
After going to the counting house to get the colorful stones, Dugu Taiyue went to see Lu Tong again. Lu Tong had been very busy these years, but at the same time, he was extremely happy. He was researching the legendary deeds of gods and gods every day and completing a novel. Another biography, I can’t be too happy.
In Lu Tong's study, Dugu Taiyue met Wu Qui, who was newly admitted to the palace. The two seemed to be arguing fiercely about a certain account in Wu Qui's "Spring and Autumn Lies". Dugu Taiyue waited for a long time but did not end. He also knew Lu Tong's temper, so he simply interrupted: "Bachelor, two bachelors!"
Lu Tong said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly!"
Dugu Taiyue made it clear in the future that he wanted to ask about the origin, magical powers and nature of the hairy monkey. Lu Tong immediately became curious and asked him to describe the shape and nature of the hairy monkey, as well as the style of Bahuang Mountain.
After listening, Wu Bei on the side said: "I've heard that the monkey demon was transformed into a macaque. Some people call him Bearded Master. He has extraordinary magical powers. I didn't expect you to have such an opportunity. It's great. I'm so happy to entertain you. ...In this case, I will give you three thousand colorful stones to win over the beard, so don't neglect me."
Lu Tao said: "Please go to Mount Lu at that time, and I will have a good meeting... I will also give you three thousand!"
Dugu got the title of Hairy Monkey, figured out its true form, and got six thousand colorful stones, and he was instantly satisfied. As a result, when I went to the accounts to pay for the colorful stones, I was told that the amount promised by Lu Tong could not be paid, and Lu Tong had spent all of it in the first two months.
So Dugu Taiyue felt a little regretful, and then entered the heavenly gate of the different world to see the hairy monkey and the beard.
Thank you for the big reward, I am a Somali pirate, and kowtow! Thanks to Sui Feng withwind, Me Ge Yang Tian Xiao, 20190310, Xin Xitang, Shu Chi Bu Yan, and brokenteeth for the rewards. Thank you fellow Taoists for your monthly votes and recommendation votes.
