The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 258 The Tiger Enters the Flock of Sheep Xue Ji's Unrequited Love

On Heishuize, under the gloomy sky, an old wooden boat was lying in the drizzle, spinning obliquely.

Like a needle slowly turning in a sea bowl filled with clear water.

Inside the cabin, Ji Pingan picked up the cup of strong tea that had been boiled over charcoal fire, lowered his eyes, and gently licked the fragrance of the tea.

The blind old Taoist priest sitting opposite him was stiff all over, the silver bell around his waist made a very slight clashing sound, and the flame flickered and trembled in the simple hexagonal oil lamp on his right.

The two girls standing on the left and right showed surprise expressions.

"Haha..." After a brief silence, the blind old Taoist regained his composure and said:
"Every family has its own method. The origin of the poor Taoist family is not as big as that of the 'Scholar', but they also have a heart to ward off evil spirits and defend the Tao. With a little blood to add fuel, it can drive away evil spirits and evil spirits. It is worthwhile, right The so-called law does not lie in righteousness and evil, what do you think?"

Ji Pingan put down the teacup between two fingers, glanced at him, and said:
"No more probing. I'm too lazy to play riddles with you. This time you and I are here for the gathering on the island. Speaking of which, heh... we are all counted as the subordinates of the so-called 'Holy Master'. Whose blood do you use to light the lamp? I didn't bother to care about it, but I came straight to this ship, maybe it wasn't for eliminating demons and defending the way, to save the people on this ship."

While saying these words, Ji Pingan deliberately adjusted his attitude and temperament.

It gave people a faint arrogance. When the word "Holy Master" was mentioned, there was no humility and reverence in the tone, but a trace of resentment and anger.

Seeing this, the blind old man was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed instead, his tense heartstrings loosening slightly:
"Young people are impatient, whatever, whatever.

As expected of being the successor of the 'Calligrapher', this temperament is different from that of ordinary Qimen monks.Pindao boarded the ship this time for no other purpose, just watched the movement here from a distance, and stopped by to take a look to confirm everyone's purpose, but it is strange that this mortal ship goes so deep. "

Such a cautious person... At this time, he is still insinuating... Ji Pingan said flatly:
"It's just that the wind and waves came in. I'm still wondering how the master Qianjiao disciplined this big loach. If it really hurt people wantonly, it would be really fun to attract the government, the state religion and Taoism."

Hearing this, the blind old man stroked his beard and said:
"I guess it's to scare off the idlers. Anyway, if you are qualified to go to the island to sacrifice, those who compete for positions in the church will not be stopped."

Ji Ping'an's heart moved, and he deliberately asked:

"Just a competition for a position?"

The blind old Taoist laughed, waved his hands and said:
"Pindao's family knows about their own family affairs, and this time it's just a formality. It's just listening to the young master. Could it be that he is interested in the saint's choice of husband...? It's normal, or young people are motivated, but if you want to It may not be easy to win the first place."

Ji Pingan smiled and said:
"The Daoist seems to be quite well informed. My servant and I joined the religion when we were in Yuezhou and only recently returned. I don't know much about the Lanzhou religion. May I ask if you can enlighten me?"

The blind old man smiled and said:

"Poverty is blind, so the ears should naturally be brighter. It's just that this is where ordinary people live, but it's not a place to talk. How about going to the island together?"

Ji Pingan glanced at him and smiled:
"Alright."

Originally, according to his plan, he waited for the opportunity to leave after entering Heishuize.

I don't want strong winds and waves to involve the ship, and it is indeed time to disembark.

……

outboard.

The Zhao family father and son did not go busy, but waited in the corridor. The old man looked at the closed cabin door from time to time, and wandered.

"Father, why is there no movement at all?" Zhao Daniu said in a low voice.

Old man Zhao gave him a hard look with his eyeballs, and said:
"Don't say a few words, when the fairy master comes out, you immediately kneel down and pray for his protection."

Zhao Daniu: "?"

The old boatman said worriedly:

"Although the Dragon King was scared away, there is no guarantee that he will not chase him back. Our boat has to go a long way to leave Heishuize. As for those young masters and ladies, if they are afraid, they will pull them back together. If they turn back Tie, just give them a small boat, let's go quickly."

After this incident, the old man had already given up the idea of ​​catching crabs, and just wanted to escape safely.

Zhao Daniu recalled the scene where Ji Ping'an and his party suddenly appeared in the heavy rain, holding the rope with one hand, and all the things he had been in contact with in the past few days, combined with the attitude of the "old fairy teacher" talking to him, he said:
"Dad, I think that young master might..."

He was interrupted by the old man, only to hear the sound of water in the fog and the sound of "tuk-tuk" wooden fish.

The boatmen were surprised to find that a black-covered boat was approaching on the side of the lake.

There was no one paddling on the boat, and there was a table-sized brown and black wooden fish on the bow, and a fat nun was holding a mallet to strike.

There are layers of ripples on the surface of the lake, and in the black-padded boat, there are several fellows who are also obese, with pink peach blossoms embroidered on the monk clothes.

With a "squeak", the hatch opened.

The blind Taoist and Ji Ping'an walked out, and the door next door opened, and Yu Yu and others also walked out upon hearing the sound.

Zhao Daniu knelt down with a thud, and was about to kowtow, but found that the old man didn't look at him at all, and was immediately awkward in place.

The two ships were getting closer and closer, and the nuns on the black-covered boat also noticed this side and glanced lightly.

The blind old man smiled and bowed his head, but the nuns chanted a curse-like Buddha's name, and the small boat brushed past the big boat and headed straight for Qianjiao Island.

Didn't catch up at all.

Ji Pingan caught a glimpse of the old Taoist's expression froze for a moment, with hidden anger, but he regained his superior demeanor in the blink of an eye, and said lightly:
"This is a female nun from Qimen Peach Blossom Nunnery in Jianghu of the Southern Tang Dynasty. She has violated the Buddhist precepts all over the place, especially her desire for food and drink. I didn't expect to vote... huh."

In view of the presence of mortals, he swallowed the words "Four Sages".

Oh, is there another "abandoned disciple" in Buddhism... Ji Pingan thought of the Beggar Sect, if it wasn't for the Beggar Sect's proximity to Yuhang, it would be difficult for the Four Sacred Sect to penetrate, otherwise it would definitely try to pull in.

And these words fell into the ears of a group of boatmen, and they were very surprised.

Apparently, the boatmen who have traveled far and wide have also heard of the power of the "Peach Blossom Temple".

But it's only limited to hearing it. Hearing it from the mouth of the Taoist priest at this moment, there is a feeling that a mortal has strayed into the world of the fairy family and heard the secret.

The nuns obviously knew the blind Taoist acquaintance, and they didn't deal with it very well, and they didn't meet each other. When the black boat left, Zhao Daniu was about to kowtow, when he heard the blind Taoist lightly order the two girls:
"Baitangzi, Tianjiuer, go sail the boat, we should go to the island too."

"Yes. Master." The two girls hurriedly headed to the side of the boat and untied the boat again.

Zhao Daniu is embarrassed × 2
For a moment, he was bewildered and looked up at his father.

The old man was in a hurry, but the veteran boatman who had been on the water all his life, faced the real monk of Qimen, but he stuttered and couldn't say anything to persuade him to stay.

Ji Pingan saw what the boatmen were thinking at a glance, and said:
"That's why we're leaving, everyone, go back as soon as possible. Don't worry, the 'Dragon King' has already returned to the island and will not chase you."

Zhao's father and son were taken aback for a moment, and suddenly found that the young man who was dressed as a scholar and read a book all day seemed to have a different aura.

Zhao Daniu's eyes were faintly bright, while the old man Zhao had not yet returned to China:
"You still have to go to the island? Don't be afraid of that..."

At this time, the blind Taoist walked to the side of the boat, and suddenly said to Ji Pingan and the others:
"Why don't fellow Taoists ride with poor Taoists?"

Ji Ping glanced at the other party's small boat that could only accommodate a few people, and smiled.

Realizing that the other party was probing again, he simply flipped through the book in his hand, raised his hand, tore off the next page, and threw it into the lake!
Immediately, the paper suddenly shone brightly, and it swelled against the wind. In the blink of an eye, it folded into a huge paper boat and fell into the lake.

The light of the paper boat converges, and it condenses into a wooden boat with exquisite shape and embossed patterns, with two wings on the left and right, and sinks into the water.

"what……"

On the deck, a group of boatmen headed by Zhao's father and son were stunned. This skill of pinching the boat out of thin air had an impact on them that was no worse than that of Mo Jiao.

boom!
Old man Zhao's mind seemed to explode, and he looked at Ji Ping'an and the others in disbelief.

This stubborn old man finally realizes later that the person who took the boat was not the ignorant son, but a Taoist who is on an equal footing with the old Taoist priest.

"Immortal method, immortal method..."

Zhao Daniu read in a daze, and understood that the abnormality he noticed along the way was not false.

It turned out that he was so close to the practitioner.

At this time, Yu Yu, Fang Shijie and others had already jumped into the paper boat, and the last trace of vigilance in the eyes of the old Taoist disappeared, and finally confirmed his identity, and said with a smile:

"It's worthy of the calligrapher's spell, it's wonderful, it's wonderful."

Ji Pingan turned his head indifferently, looked at Zhao Daniu, smiled, and said:
"When returning to the original road, if you return to the place where the crabs were first dropped, you can try to move a hundred feet south and try again."

After speaking, before everyone recovered, they also floated into the paper boat, and the left and right wings swung by themselves, pushing the paper boat like an arrow off the string, heading straight to Qianjiao Island.

The old Taoist followed closely behind.

It wasn't until the two sides were hidden in the drizzle that the old man Zhao woke up like a dream and told the boatmen to turn around and flee.

And along the way, as Ji Pingan said, there was no danger, and he was not attacked by the "Dragon King" again.

After the ship left the danger zone, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and felt like they had escaped.

At this time, Zhao Daniu had sharp eyes, identified the direction, and instructed everyone to drive the boat to the place pointed by Ji Pingan.

And ordered to drop the crab stalks, didn't take long to try to pull up.

"In stock! Lots of blackwater crabs!"

"There is it!"

"What a big crab, pull it up!"

Amidst the shouts of surprise from the boatmen, the crab shells pulled out of the water were covered with two fat autumn crabs the size of a fist.

Next, as the crabs were pulled up one by one, more and more blackwater crabs were thrown on the deck, and there were hundreds of them in a blink of an eye.

"Crab farm, there is a big crab farm underneath!"

The eyes of the boatmen who survived the catastrophe turned red. They thought they were lucky to escape from death.

I don't dare to expect to gain anything, but I don't want to bear the pain.

Old man Zhao held his pipe and stared blankly at the huge crab farm that he had never seen before after decades of crab fishing.

He looked at Erlang who was smirking next to him, thinking about the behavior of the other party's friendship with the young master along the way.

Suddenly realized: I may be old.

……

……

The drizzle continued, and the entire Great Lake seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog.

The two small boats were almost walking side by side, with the wind blowing across the river.

The outline of the island in front became more and more clear. On the strip-shaped island, towering rocks, lush vegetation, and hidden buildings could already be seen.

Along the way, Yu Yu and others acted as loyal servants. Ji Pingan chatted casually with the blind Taoist, but he really found out a lot of information.

such as:

In the Four Sacred Sect, although the number of warriors is the largest, because the Wulin League still has control over the Jianghu, most of the warriors recruited by the sect branch in Lanzhou are not of high strength and are at a lower level.

Although some people also came to participate in this rally, most of them were limited to participation and lacked the strength to compete for rankings.

Can be used as background board.

Correspondingly, the main members are the "Qimen monks" in the arena.

There are "lone rangers" like blind Taoists, and there are more people like nuns in Peach Blossom Nunnery.

That is to say: this time, the candidates for the position in the teaching competition and the competition for "Xue Ji's husband-in-law" are basically born in the world.

"Pindao is not too sure. How many Qimen monks have joined the Holy Cult, but there are a few notorious and not weak, and they will definitely join,"

The blind old man holds a soul lamp, hangs a silver bell on his waist, stands on the prow of the boat, and looks like a young man in the rivers and lakes:
"For example, if the Poisonous Dragon Layman, the Yellow Turban Warrior, and the well-known Caiju Master are all there, then you must be careful."

Yu Yu pretended to be a well-behaved maid at the side, and heard the words and transmitted the secret:

"What are these things, have you heard of them?"

Everyone remained silent, including Dr. Huang, who knew little about this master of the world.

Ji Pingan, on the other hand, collected some information through the dark web, and Transsion explained:
"They are all in Lanzhou's rivers and lakes, some Qimen monks who have a bad reputation and are wanted by the government. Among them, the 'Colorful Opera Master' is the strongest, has committed the most crimes, and his cultivation is generally at the ninth upper level.

Although the Four Saints can use poisonous insects to control people, pulling them by force is ultimately a bad idea and is not the mainstream. The leader of the Four Saints does not want to have a group of subordinates who have enmity with him, compromise and swallow his subordinates.

Therefore, most of them are mainly lures, and Gu worms are just auxiliary.Therefore, most of the people in the church must be mainly bandits in the arena and wanted by the government. "

Everyone suddenly realized, and they looked at the blind old man with ambiguous eyes.

I began to think about how much money this old Taoist priest's head could exchange for the government.

The blind old man was bragging, showing off his knowledge, and suddenly noticed that his neck was chilly, and "looked" at the crowd with his soul lamp, but found nothing unusual.

Ji Pingan coughed lightly and said:

"Well, someone is here to pick you up."

In the time it took to speak, the boat had arrived at the pier of the island, where a canopy was set up, and there were people in dark green clothes waiting, obviously disciples of the Daze sect.

The awning boat of Peach Blossom Temple is mooring in the dock, but the fat nuns have disappeared.

A middle-aged man stood up and looked at Ji Ping'an and the others warily, holding a strange incense burner in his hand.

He raised his hand and slapped it, and everyone noticed at the same time that the Gu worms in his body became active.

Wisps of smoke escaped from the incense burner, circling around the heads of the crowd, and then slowly converged.

The middle-aged man smiled:
"Everyone is here, please register first. My island owner has prepared the house, and someone will guide you to stay later."

The owner of the island... is undoubtedly the head of the Daze Sect, one of the only remaining senior members of the Lanzhou Tankou of the Four Sacred Sect, and the real host of this gathering.

Ji Ping'an's eyes flickered, and he touched his arm to appease the active gold Gu worms in his body.

When meeting the Blind Old Daoist, the Gu worm in his body had already awakened, and he could clearly sense the silver Gu worm in the opponent's body.

Now that he went ashore, the feeling became more and more intense. For example, the registered middle-aged man had a bronze Gu worm in his body.

Accompanying it, there is a clear and definite hunch from the Gu worm:

As long as he wanted, he could forcibly manipulate the middle-aged man in front of him.

As for the old Taoist priest, it is much more difficult, but he can also control the opponent for a short time.

As for the master's fight, as long as the opponent makes a momentary mistake, it is enough to tell the winner.

This made him sigh with emotion, no wonder everyone inside the Demon Cult wanted to be promoted.

Once you become a high-level person, you can suppress all low-level believers through Gu insects, and almost control the life and death of people.

It's a sense of power that few can resist.

And these people don't know yet:

The harmless scholar in front of him actually possesses the "Dharma Protector" level golden Gu worm, and can harvest their lives at any time.

"The assembly will start in two days, and please stay on the island temporarily."

After finishing his enthronement status, the middle-aged disciple put away the booklet and spoke with a smile.

Then he ordered his subordinates to lead Ji Ping'an and the eight towards the buildings on the island.

After the person left, he carefully looked at the information in the book:
"Soul Lamp Sect... the descendant of the calligrapher... under the guardian of Yuezhou?"

He was a little surprised, but not too surprised. Cultivators are different from ordinary people, and they will not be locked in the place of residence, and it is common for them to travel around.

But since both inheritances are considered special, he still called someone to say:

"Send the brochure to the island master, saying that another powerful disciple has come to the island."

……

……

Qianjiao Island occupies a large area, but most of the places are full of jagged rocks and green pines and cypresses.

It is a place on the east side of the island that is suitable for living.The Dazepai has been in operation for a century, and it is now quite large. When you look at it suddenly, it feels like a "resort".

The houses are mainly bamboo buildings, which are dotted on both sides of the road.

At this moment, in a courtyard deep inside the island.

Xue Ji sat quietly by the window of the bamboo building, her black tulle robe hanging down softly, outlining her exquisite figure and graceful curves.

Her long, glossy black hair was coiled up behind her head, and her indifferent, snow-white, delicate and glamorous face was slightly raised, staring blankly at the drizzle outside the window.

He tried to look past the high wall, the towering mountains and mist in the distance, but was firmly blocked.

"It's time for Saint Maiden to have a meal. The autumn crabs that are abundant in the black water are at their peak. Wouldn't it be a pity not to taste them?"

The sound of footsteps approached, and the old woman in gray was carrying a tray, pushed the door into the house, and said with a smile.

Xue Ji ignored her and remained motionless like a sculpture.

The old woman was not surprised. She sighed softly, placed the tray on the table, and then began to disassemble the autumn crabs by herself, sucking and tasting them with her airy teeth:
"What a good crab, if you don't eat it, I will accept it, old lady."

Xue Ji withdrew her gaze and looked at her with disgust: "Get out."

The old woman was not annoyed, she just let out a "huh" and said:
"Good good."

While speaking, she stood up Shi Shiran, slapped the crab shell off her hand, and said suddenly:

"I wanted to tell you about the news about the Great Zhou Guoshi."

Xue Ji's body trembled, and her whole body instantly became radiant, and she urgently asked to stay:

"Wait! Who are you talking about?!"

……

ps: Tonight I personally tested a theory: Directly blowing the air conditioner will indeed cause diarrhea...
