chewing dragon

Chapter 153
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi's eyes flashed immediately, because in Jiao Yulang's legend about the crane shoes, the fairy who threw the shoes and stepped on the crane was surnamed Feng, and Deng Fuqing also mentioned the Feng family of Xianyu Mountain.

However, Xiaowazi is just telling a story, and Deng Fuqing only claims to have an old relationship with the previous Xuandu Guanzhu, and there is no such intimacy and casualness as the lame old man said.

Qi Jingzhi thought for a while, and asked straightforwardly: "Who dare to ask the ancestors? How did you know my identity?"

Seeing that his expression and tone did not seem to be fake, the lame old man raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "You don't know the East China Sea shakes the cow, that's all, really I don't even know?"

Without waiting for Qi Jingzhi's answer, he sighed to himself again: "Hey! Feng girl has been stubborn since she was a child, and she is still angry with us old guys in her heart!"

Shaking his head with some disappointment, the lame old Taoist looked at Qi Jingzhi and said, "It's fine if you don't know me. Anyway, the old Taoist and Xianyu's lineage have not been in contact for a long time, let's talk about this Donghai Shaking Cow , such a precious ingredient, you must live up to it!"

He paused, then looked back suddenly, and smiled at Ge Shu Dashi and Wei Bao who were vaguely surrounding him: "If you want to hear it, get closer, they are all young and strong, and you have to beware of me, who is lame. Is the old way up?"

Hearing this, Ge Shu Dashi immediately walked over, and if there were three people present who cared the most about the blue-scaled manatee, it was him, the bearded slave grazing the green cow.

Wei Bao naturally followed closely behind.

Hearing the lame mangy old Taoist laugh and say: "The old Taoist remembers that there is a stream in the mountains of Yifeng County that leads directly to the East China Sea. It is called Hexi. It looks like a narrow channel, but in fact it is unfathomable. There are often water spirits in the Hexi. , Over the years, this kind of shaking cow will be bred."

"The yak ox is irritable by nature. When it sees a ox, it will fight. Ordinary domestic ox will be afraid of a tiger when they see it. If two yaks meet, they have to compete with each other. When they fight, the sea will boil yellow and roar for ten miles. The name is Donghai. Divine cow."

As soon as these words came out, the three of Qi Jingzhi realized that although the old Taoist in front of him appeared very strange and did not know the purpose of coming, the knowledge in his chest was really extraordinary.

YouQi Ge Shu Dashi was refreshed, immediately whistled, called his own green cow over, and then asked, "This cow is born weird, I wonder if seniors can recognize it?"

When he entered the village earlier, the old lame old Taoist had already seen all the situation in the village, so he didn't go to see Qingniu, but stared at Geshu Dashi in amazement, and said, "This is so strange, you are Geshu's family. The purple-bearded and blue-eyed boy, right? His blood is so thick, he was not recruited by Chi Yousi of the Town Demon Academy, and he was exiled in this land of the East China Sea. How come he doesn’t even know a bamboo cow?”

As the old Taoist said, he limped up to the "bamboo ox" he was talking about, and suddenly reached out and grabbed one of the ox's jade-like green horns.

It was too late to say it, and then it was too fast, just heard a click, and the horn was actually broken by him!

The old man with a lame skinny head weighed the jade horns in his hand, he laughed and said: "I have never seen such a fresh and tender bamboo horn, the old man is lucky!"

The three of them, including Niu'er, didn't expect him to come out like this suddenly, and their faces all changed color.

Qi Jingzhi's heart skipped a beat, the ox horn was so hard, but the old man could snap it off easily, as if he had picked a cucumber out of the ground lightly.

Geshu Dashi and Qingniu roared in unison, one took a sudden step, raised his fist and smashed it, there was a sad black air between the palms and fingers, the other lowered the bull's head, and used the remaining one to smash it. The bull's horn pushed it hard.

The crippled old Taoist rubbed the horns in his hand, without even raising his eyelids, and without knowing how to make a gesture, his whole body swished up and easily avoided the fists and the horns.

His sudden jump without any warning was swift and strange, but his posture was not the slightest bit of superior demeanor, on the contrary, it was extremely ugly, with bowed waist, shoulders shrugged and legs curled up, just like an old dog jumping over a wall.

Seeing that the momentum of the lame and scarlet-headed old road has not been exhausted, he suddenly folded extremely abruptly, changed from rising to falling rapidly, and landed heavily on the back of the green bull, smashing the head twice in one night. The poor cow with the broken horn gave up its hooves and almost fell to its knees.

"What's the rush, you two! It's just breaking off a horn for cooking, it's not like it won't grow anymore!" The old man still looked like he didn't care.

Hearing this, Geshu Dashi stopped his figure suddenly, looked up at the old man on the back of the bull, and then turned his head to look at the broken horn of the bull, with a look of surprise on his face.

I heard the old man with a lame leopard say leisurely: "I really don't know what you young people have learned all day long. There is a saying in "The History of Things and Things" that a bamboo ox came out of the north of Qiongshuo. Among the bamboos, if the tiger comes close, it will run into the forests one by one, and the tiger will be frightened and crouch."

"If it is said that Yaoniu is a heterogeneous species formed by the sympathetic relationship between mortal cattle and water spirits, this bamboo ox is a kind of alien cow that is close to the spirit of bamboo and wood. It is said that it was a special product of the northern Guzhu country in ancient times."

"Guzhu country?"

Ge Shu Dashi's complexion changed abruptly, and he blurted out: "The elders are talking about the ancient Dongyi country that once occupied the land of Liaozhou?"

"Hey, I don't know what I should know, but I know a lot about what I shouldn't! I know that your Geshu clan is not as honest and obedient as it seems!"

The old lame old man teased, and then explained: "Naturally, it is the ancient country of bamboo that you know, where copper goblets drink wine and bamboo books record the years!"

"After the rise of Jiang Qi, Guzhu, which originated from Dongyi, gradually declined. The leader of the country, the Mo Tai family, kept a low profile on the surface, but secretly made friends with the Shanrong. Later, he openly attached himself to the Shanrong and believed in gold. The Ling branch of the horned white deer invaded Jiang Qi's northeast territory at that time."

"The former king of Qi was furious, and sent a large army to attack the mountain army in the north. He commanded branches and bamboos to be cut. After many years of bloody battles, he finally wiped out all the barbarians and soldiers, and replaced them with Jiang Shengdao. The habitat of bamboo cattle was completely destroyed. , and over time it is almost extinct."

Hearing this, Geshu Dashi stood where he was, with an uncertain expression on his face.

The lame mang-headed old man glanced at him, and couldn't help but said cheerfully: "Don't just think about it! Now both the mountain rong and the guzhu have passed by in smoke, and the old man has heard a little about the blood thaumaturgy of the Geshu family. The family is probably related to Shan Rong and Gu Zhu, but even today they can’t even recognize the bamboo ox domesticated by our ancestors, so there is no other way out except to obediently serve Sheng Jiang’s family?”

Hearing this, Ge Shu Dashi gritted his teeth, and said in a somewhat embarrassing tone, "My ox was brought by Lord Hou from the Town Demon Academy, and I thought it was just an ordinary green ox except that it ran faster. But according to senior, the bamboo ox was originally owned by my Geshu clan, and it was acquired by the former king of Daqi when Guzhu destroyed the country, and now it will be handed over to me, a beard slave, to graze and domesticate for Sheng Jiang's family?"

"Lord Hou? Ding Chengyuan, the Marquis of Anfeng in Kaifu Jiuzhen County? Hmm... The Jiang surname Ding has a high status in the East China Sea, so it's no wonder that you have such an outstanding elder brother and beard slave like you." color.

Seeing Geshu Dashi's expression, he immediately calmed down and said, "It's not easy for you to recover your blood. The old Taoist would like to advise you that if you want to live a good life in the future, instead of being desperate and precarious, you must destroy the mountain Rong Forget about the identities of the Zhong and Guzhu beneficiaries, and always respect the orthodoxy of Shengjiang. You must know that the Geshu clan can continue to this day, and it was removed from the forbidden book of practice decades ago, but it is your generation. The ancestors worked so hard to herd cattle, even took risks, and warded off evil spirits in exchange for it!"

"You are extremely talented, you have achieved success in cultivation, and your future future is boundless. Even a Marquis of Anfeng may not be able to limit it... Now there is nothing left in the Shanrong, but including the Guzhumotai clan The remnants of Dongyi are still lingering, you should think about it clearly in your heart, and don't have anything to do with those ghosts and snakes!"

Brother Shu Dashi was stunned when he heard this: "Senior, you said that besides blood thaumaturgy, my brother Shu can also embark on the path of cultivation? Why didn't I know?"

Now even the lame and scarlet-headed old man showed surprise: "Huh? You have already cultivated to the second level now, how could you not know? Looking at your fierce saber aura, isn't it that you are practicing Chi Yousibing?" The staff supervisor's heart training method?"

Hearing this, Ge Shu Dashi opened his mouth and fell silent, instead turning his head to look at Qi Jingzhi.

It seems that he has clearly realized that the abnormality on his body is not simply caused by blood thaumaturgy as he thought before, but he has embarked on the road of cultivation in a daze, and even entered the so-called second state overnight .However, it is true that he has never learned any practice methods, and after much deliberation, only the Zangfeng method can be touched.

Qi Jingzhi and him looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel emotional, he just felt that the practice in this world is really mysterious, and he just relied on a sentence in the fragment of "Xian Yu Jing" "The heart shakes like a dancing crane, and the bone emerges like a flying dragon" ", coupled with Jiao Yulang's story of crane shoes, it has become the backbone of "angry cranes are shoes, wings soaring to the sky".

The purple-bearded and blue-eyed Geshu clan in front of him didn't even practice the scriptures. He only learned a few lines of the Tibetan front method, and added a sentence passed down by the old Geshu clan, "Hiding the sword and swallowing the boat." Dare to risk his life to use the heart as a sheath, swallow ghosts and hide the front, although the process is extremely dangerous, and there will be great hidden dangers in the future, but he really let him complete the cultivation.

As for the heart forging method mentioned by the old Taoist, it may be similar to the ancient method of the heart root of Chiyousi Shennong's lineage. It does sound somewhat similar to Geshu Dashi's heart sheath hidden front, but one focuses on forging, and the other focuses on forging. In Yu, there is obviously a huge difference, of course, this is not enough for outsiders.

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi smiled back at Geshu Dashi, and turned to the old Taoist on the bamboo ox's back, "Senior suddenly appeared, and he took the trouble to tell a lot of anecdotes and anecdotes, and even advised Brother Geshu, is it true?" Just for appetite?"

"if not?"

The lame old Taoist stared at him immediately, and said angrily: "Besides such rare delicacies as yak ox head and bamboo horns, you youngsters who don't understand farts, what else can you get into the eyes of the old man?" ?”

As he said, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the black and white tiger-striped beast in the distance: "It's like that thing that I don't know what it is, I don't dare to eat it when I'm an old man."

The black-and-white tiger-striped beast was originally an honest cat in the shadow of a wall. Seeing the ferocious old man pointing at it when he snapped off one of the cow's horns, he shrank his neck in fright, and squeezed hard into the wall. .

"Hey, I'm quite timid!" The old Taoist laughed immediately.

Qi Jingzhi looked away from the mount he had just accepted, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Even senior can't see its origin?"

The lame mangy old man jumped off the bamboo cow and pointed at Wei Bao who had been silent all this time: "Go and arrange for the villagers to re-wash the pot and boil the water, and take out all the seasonings. Later, the old man will call you See and see what real delicacy is!"

Wei Bao was also straightforward, seeing that neither Qi Jingzhi nor Ge Shu Dashi objected, he turned around and left immediately.

"Well, he is a refreshing person, but it's a pity that the gold poison in the blood is stagnant, and I am afraid that there is no hope for cultivation."

The old Taoist looked at Wei Bao's back, commented softly, and at the same time walked slowly towards the sacrificial table.

Qi Jingzhi's eyes flashed, and he immediately asked: "Gold poison accumulation? If he finds the gold practice method, can he not practice it?"

"The root cause is not gold poison..."

The old man with a lame leprous threw the bamboo horn on the altar, stretched out his hand to grab the huge head of the bull, and with a light swing of his palm knife, he cut off the remaining horn by the root, and continued absent-mindedly. Said: "The gold poison in his body must have been accumulated for many years, and it has already hurt the foundation of the blood. This is the most terrible thing."

"Dare to ask senior, where does the gold poison in his body come from, is it born with it, or acquired?" Qi Jingzhi hurriedly asked again.

"I'm not a god, how can I know such details? But to be honest, although the six states of the East China Sea are close to the sea, the most active people in the mountains and rivers are not water spirits and water evil spirits, but gold evil spirits. Maybe It must be related to the sunken iron veins in the East China Sea."

As the old lame man said, he began to use his fingernails to tweeze the hairs on the cow's head, pulling out one after another, painstakingly and meticulously.

He worked patiently for a while, and then pouted at the black and white tiger-striped beast at the base of the wall in the distance: "Let's just talk about that guy. When I first saw it, I thought it was the revival of Lu Shu's blood. But it feels plausible.”

"Refutation? Lu Shu?" Qi Jingzhi couldn't help being puzzled again.

While speaking, the lame old man with a scarlet head tweezed out half of the fine hairs on the cow's head, carefully uprooted them, and would never let a single particle fall.

He didn't stay idle, and said in a leisurely tone: "The mountain of Zhongqu has many jade in its yang, and realgar, white jade and gold in its yin. There is a beast, which looks like a horse with a white body and black tail, one horn, tiger teeth and claws, The sound is like the sound of a drum, its name is refutation, it eats tigers and leopards, and it can defend soldiers."

"This kind of strange beast can not only be ridden, but can also defend its master against weapons and subdue tigers and leopards. It is an excellent riding beast. It is said that the mount of the founding king of Daqi is a horse that goes in and out of the mountains and forests like walking on flat ground. Tigers and leopards are always waiting to die. Since then, the barbarian beast has become the exclusive property of the king of Daqi, and even those horses with the bloodline of the barbarian beast are also loved by the clan and dignitaries of the great Qi family."

"Because of this reason, the bloodline of Pi is not too rare in Qi State, but the guy crouching under the wall is Bi, but it has no horns on its head, and its coat color is not as distinct as that of the white body and black tail. , but as colorful as tiger stripes, the two certainly cannot be classified as one. As for Lu Shu..."

The lame and scarlet-headed old Taoist paused for a moment, then continued: "On the mountain of Fuyang, there is a beast. Its shape is like a horse with a white head, its writing is like a tiger's red tail, its sound is like a ballad, and its name is Lushu. Yi descendants."
