Chapter 23 Taoist Journey to the West
On a rural national highway on the border of the Western Province, a tow truck was moving forward 60 kilometers.
An old and a young man were sitting behind the tractor. The old man was fairy-like and the young man was young and handsome. Both of them were wearing shabby Taoist robes and looking at each other in messy air.
These two are the old Taoist priests and Zhang Ziling!
"Two Taoist priests, my tractor is powerful enough. I guess I will be able to go to Yongxian Town before dark."
"..." Zhang Ziling couldn't bear to turn his head, while the old Taoist priest was telling fortunes seriously with the old farmer who drove a tractor.
Before, Zhang Ziling and Taoist Principal went to the airport to buy tickets. When they paid the money, Zhang Ziling found that after giving half of the money on his card, he spent all the money on purchasing medicinal materials, and only a few hundred yuan was left in the card.
Then the two of them escaped from the airport in awkwardly under the gaze of a group of staff at the airport.
As the saying goes, misfortune never comes singly. When Zhang Ziling was about to ask Cheng Huang for help, he found that his own shou was shocked by his irritable spiritual power because he was angry before.
As for going back to find Chu Qi...
Zhang Ziling couldn't hold this face down, not to mention that he knew the current situation of Chu Qi. If he went back to ask for money, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if Chu Qi couldn't take it out?
In desperation, Zhang Ziling took the train to escape from Nanzhou City with the only remaining xian jīn, and finally spent all the last travel expenses in this small town on the border of the Western Province.
In desperation, Zhang Ziling had to dress up as a Taoist priest and follow the old Taoist priest. Seeing him use his usual tricks and show his skills to a farmer, he bewitched the farmer and sent them to Yongxian Town.
Yongxian Town is a small town at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Because there are many temples and Taoist temples near Kunlun Mountain, it is not strange that Zhang Ziling and the others are wearing Taoist robes, but they have also been respected by many people!
Under the influence of cultural influence in the Western Province, people here respect ghosts and gods very much. It is precisely because of the nourishment of this culture that the Buddhist and Taoist cultures here are very prosperous.
However, it was precisely because of the wind and sleeping in the open along the way that Zhang Ziling and the old Taoist priest gradually became familiar with each other.
The old Taoist priest is An Yi. He grew up in the Yi Sect since he was a child. When An Yi's talent in the spirit of Qi was revealed by the Yi Sect, the whole sect put the hope of revival on An Yi. However, no one expected that although An Yi's talent in the spirit of Qi was unmatched, his talent for cultivation was awful.
Otherwise, he would not have been seventy years old now, and he had barely reached the position of elder of Yi Sect, and he had no disciple under him. As a last resort, An Yi ran out of the sect and looked for disciples everywhere.
Although An Yi's qi-seeking technique is outstanding in China, his cultivation is pitifully low. After practicing for decades, his cultivation can barely be on par with the elite disciples of this generation of Yi Sect. This level of cultivation has made An Yi a joke in the cultivation world.
However, An Yi did not take it seriously about being ridiculed. According to his words, at his age, he no longer needed to fight and kill. Instead of practicing, it would be better to master the craft of Honour, so that he could have some status in the cultivation world.
"Two Taoist priests, Yongxian has arrived." The old farmer stopped the tractor and looked respectfully at the two people sitting on the tractor.
"Old Taoist Master, what do you think our child can get rid of poverty?" The old farmer rubbed his calloused hands and smiled all over his face.
An Yi narrowed his eyes and stroked his white beard and said, "The reason for his poverty in the future is that you will lose your tuition because you are addicted to gambling and have to drop out of school. In the end, gambling debts accumulate, resulting in a family breakdown. If you want to change this situation, it depends on what you are going to do in the future."
When the old farmer heard An Yi's words, his face immediately changed. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to An Yi, crying: "My wife divorced me because of my gambling. I didn't expect that I would even harm my baby. I deserve to die! Thank you Taoist priest for waking up!"
An Yi smiled and got off the tractor, and lifted up the farmer kneeling on the ground, "Just know, take care of yourself."
"Thank you, Master! I will definitely quit gambling!" The old farmer pulled An Yi's arm many times and finally left in the tractor.
Looking at the departing tractor, Zhang Ziling smiled.
"You should know that fate is fate. Since you have seen it, if there is no strong external force intervention, you will definitely be born. This is why most officials and nobles want fortune telling, because only they have enough power to interfere with this fate."
"But I saw it." An Yi was a little puzzled. "After we got on his tractor, his fate turned into two lines, heading in two different directions."
"Poor, or rich?" Zhang Ziling smiled.
"Well, but I don't know why, with his meager power, he could not distort this established fate." An Yi fell into doubt, "Besides, even the most powerful person in China cannot divide his fate into two completely opposite lines. Why is this?"
"It's very simple, look here." Zhang Ziling's words attracted An Yi's attention.
An Yi stared at Zhang Ziling's five fingers, and suddenly his eyes widened, and his cold sweat broke out.
"This, is this?"
"Cause and effect." Zhang Ziling pinched his five fingers slightly, and the twisted and mysterious silk thread disappeared in an instant, "I changed his cause and effect."
When An Yi heard Zhang Ziling's words, he immediately knelt down, "The Supreme Immortal, changing cause and effect without authorization is contrary to the way of heaven, and he may be punished by heaven!"
Zhang Ziling smiled, held An Yi up, and said with a smile: "An Yi, do you think I'm afraid of God's punishment?"
An Yi looked at Zhang Ziling's harmless smile, and his heart was filled with cold sweat, fear and a little excited.
A person who is not afraid of the way of heaven...
Gulu!
An Yi swallowed hard, and with such a person, An Yi's ambition to block his body began to slowly loosen.
Seeing An Yi's eyes change, Zhang Ziling nodded with a smile.
The ability to master the principles of Yi and be able to see the future is a rare existence even if it is placed in another world.
When Zhang Ziling first realized An Yi's ability, he had the intention to subdue him. Although An Yi's cultivation is low now, he is just building a foundation. However, his cultivation is low. In Zhang Ziling's eyes, that's not a problem!
If you have poor talent, you can use top-level skills to make up for it. The top-level skills... Zhang Ziling has as much as he wants in his mind!
"Okay, let's not talk about this topic for now, let's talk about the elixir you have found."
An Yi took back his relaxed mind and looked at Zhang Ziling and said carefully: "Since Shangxian gave me the page of paper full of spiritual medicine, I went back to read the Yizong classics and finally found that someone had seen a spiritual medicine in the corner of Kunlun Mountain. Although the name was different from that written by Shangxian, the characteristics described were not much different."
"Which plant?"
"According to the name of the Supreme Immortal, it is the Nine-Reincarnation Bone Flower."
"Nine-reincarnation bone flower?"
Zhang Ziling's eyes lit up, and the Nine Reincarnation Bone Flower, as the name suggests, is a top-level healing object. This spiritual medicine is the most important for Zhang Ziling now.
"I didn't expect that there was the Nine-Reincarnation Bone Flower! Are you sure you remember correctly?" Zhang Ziling was a little confused because the Nine-Reincarnation Bone Flower is an extremely rare existence in the other world, and can cure the white bones of life.
"It is recorded in the classics, but there are strange beasts guarding that place, and the people from our sect dare not get too close to it." An Yi said, because the sect prohibits his sect from going to that place, he has never been there.
"You'll know when you go and take a look." Zhang Ziling calmed down and looked at the path ahead.
This is the end of the national highway, and there is a dirt road ahead, leading to Yongxian.
The two of them followed the dirt road to Yongxian Town, but found that there was no one on the way.
"Shangxian, something seems to be wrong here." An Yi looked at the empty street and asked in confusion: "The sun has not set, why can't there be one person in this town?"
"Something is wrong." Zhang Ziling nodded, "But the most important thing at the moment is to find a hotel, otherwise you will have to sleep on the street today."
Soon the two found a small hotel, which looked very shabby.
"Two rooms." Zhang Ziling walked in and said.
"Shangxian, our money is only enough to book a room." An Yi grabbed Zhang Ziling and whispered.
Zhang Ziling looked at the impatient fat woman at the front desk, paused, and finally said, "Come on a standard room."
"There is only one big bed room left, do you want it?" The fat lady at the front desk took out a rusty key.
"I want it."
Before Zhang Ziling could speak, a petite-sized man walked in outside the door, wearing a blue short skirt and walking to the front desk with a cold expression.
Two thighs were tied to each of them with perfect white thighs.
Zhang Ziling squinted his eyes and looked at the loli carefully, and finally gave an evaluation.
"If the baby face is full of 10 points, I will give you 9 points, a typical loli."
