Wet viviparity

Chapter 170: Waves, the Secret of Salary
Under the big nan tree, there was no one in front or behind the fortune-telling stall.

A man carrying firewood was passing by here. When he saw the fortune-telling stall, he suddenly had an idea to tell the fortune of the lost calf from his home.

His eyes scanned the fortune-telling stall and finally stopped on a mat under a tree, where two Taoists, one big and one small, were lying on their sides, sleeping soundly. The man left in disappointment.

When he left, he left a comment, "You don't look like a businessman."

At noon, the waiters from Baolinlou came over carrying their loads.

The waiter set up a small square table in front of the tree, and filled it with the best wine and food from Baolin Tower. Each dish was placed in a porcelain bowl, and there were also a few fruit snacks.

Master Huolong sniffed and stood up quickly.

He first glanced at the fortune-telling stall and nodded secretly, thinking that he had half a day off. Then he looked at the small table full of delicacies and his appetite was immediately aroused.

Before preparing to eat, he kicked the Taoist priest who was sleeping soundly next to him to wake him up.

Ji Ming got up with sleepy eyes open, stretched himself, and asked, "Are you ready to leave the stall?"

True Fire Dragon was very happy. These past few days, Jin Tong had been around him every day, but he didn't try to attract customers for him. Instead, he acted like he was into this mess. The two of them slept soundly under the tree every day.

Sometimes he himself was already stiff and tired from sleep, but Jintong beside him was still sleeping soundly, so he was embarrassed to get up and disturb him, so he had to stay awake under the tree.

Fire Dragon Master sat on the table and said, "Okay, don't come to my place tomorrow. It's annoying."

When Ji Ming sat down, he seemed to have not heard anything. The Immortal felt a headache and said, "The great catastrophe involves many causes and effects, which cannot be explained. If you explain, there will be disasters. However, you can explain a little about the firewood talisman that you have realized."

At this time, Ji Ming's still sleepy eyes finally woke up completely.

"Teacher Fire Dragon!"

"You look upright and steady, but you are actually very cunning. When will I agree to be your teacher?"

Those who study Taoism in the Three Kingdoms have always had only one master, but can have many students.

"All the practitioners in Tiannan know that this 'Fire-scattering Dragon Character' is the teacher's secret to attaining enlightenment. I have received this Fire-scattering Dragon Character and realized a firewood talisman, but it does not mean that you are passing on the Dharma to me."

"Makes sense."

The reason why Master Huolong likes Jintong is that he is a quick-witted person and will take advantage of any opportunity he finds.

Of course, he could joke and amuse Jin Tong without any airs, just like a close friend regardless of age difference. This was ultimately due to the appreciation of his junior sister, the local master.

Thinking of this, I can't help but repeat the old saying.

"If you change your school and become my junior sister's disciple, I will be truly happy as your teacher, and I will be able to teach you our lineage's "Sun-lighting True Method."

"Teacher Huolong!" Ji Ming shook his head helplessly and said solemnly, "Changing sects is not a joke. Teacher, have you ever heard of a famous righteous disciple changing sects privately?"

Master Huolong felt that he was in the wrong, so he did not mention the matter again.

He also knew in his heart that as Jin Tong's reputation grew, it would become increasingly unrealistic for him to change his allegiance.

Ji Ming took out a yellow talisman and placed it on the table. Fire Dragon Master picked up the talisman and looked at it carefully, saying, "Look at the secret of the word '薪' in it. It means firewood."

The immortal held the yellow talisman and rubbed it gently. With a "bang", the yellow talisman exploded into many sparks, which were then extinguished by the immortal's palm.

“The word ‘薪’, at first glance, means to start a fire.

Looking at his words again, you can appreciate the meaning of the uninterrupted passing of the torch.

I see that the meaning of your firewood talisman is not to 'ignite fire', nor to 'keep the fire burning', but to mean a little remaining fire in the firewood after the firewood is exhausted."

The immortal stroked his three beautiful beards and looked at Ji Ming meaningfully.

"The remaining fire is a tiny bit of light in the darkness. You were the first to realize this point in the secret of the character Xin. This is related to the nature of the Tao in your heart. It also indicates that the road you will take in the future is destined to be darker than bright."

"If the teacher could explain the hexagram of the killing star more clearly, perhaps my path would be a little brighter."

Seeing Jin Tong mention the catastrophe again, True Man Fire Dragon was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and shot a beam of fire at him. Ji Ming swallowed it down with a sip of wine and stored it in his alchemical stomach.

The real person was secretly shocked. Although his beam of fire was just a small trick, Jin Tong was only at the second level of Qi Refining, yet he had resolved it so easily. It seemed that he had still underestimated him.

“With your current level of cultivation, you should take the meaning of the endless fire and create a talisman of endless fire.

In this way, it can be used for alchemy and making tools and sold on the mountain. Wouldn’t it be a great Taoist property?”

Ji Ming agreed very much, this was indeed a way.

These days, he spent all day here with the real person, with the purpose of finding out the inside story of the catastrophe.

If Shu Si is the duck that knows the water is warm in the story of "the duck knows first when the river water is warm in spring", then Zhenren Huolong is a part of the spring river water. The levels of information known by the two are not at the same level.

Although I haven't gotten any inside information in the past few days, at least I haven't gained nothing.

Because of the success of the last gambling fight, Qianshou'er has been sent to the spiritual enclosure of True Man Huolong for further study.

Now that he has been enlightened by True Man Huo Long and taught the magic of the Fire Talisman, he should not be greedy for more.

When they returned to Baolin Tower, Shu Si was waiting here early. He was holding a jade slip in his hand and said to Ji Ming happily, "A letter has arrived from Huoxu Cave."

Ji Ming took the jade slip and exhaled a breath of true Qi on it, and a piece of information recorded in the slip flowed out.

After reading the message in the letter, Ji Ming was excited and said to Shu Si, "The local master has agreed to my request and promised to use his connections to help me get a position in Lan Yin Fang."

After listening carefully, Shu Si just nodded slightly with relief.

"Master, now we have to look at Heguan. If they make another effort, this matter will be nine out of ten."

There was a hint of worry in Shu Si's words. Everyone knew that Fei Huzi's life was coming to an end. He had been consolidating Hemingfang and was busy shrinking the Taoist assets of Heguan in order to ensure that the next master of the temple would take over smoothly.

Now, the next generation of Heguan and the actual abbot is Feihuzi’s eldest disciple Taoist Xuan Jing.

It is very likely that Ji Ming's plan cannot avoid Senior Brother Xuan Jing. This is his shortcoming. He has always been raised in Huoxu Cave and has little knowledge of the people in Heguan.

Now that the Taoist assessment is getting closer, Ji Ming can no longer be distracted and needs to concentrate on impacting the major acupoints in the three yin meridians of the foot.

In terms of foreign affairs, Shu Si is mainly responsible.

The top floor of Baolin Building has been completely closed off due to Ji Ming's retreat.

The diners coming and going, the young lady singing and playing in the building, and the literati admiring the scenery from the building, if they stay here for a long time, they can always hear a strange sound of waves.

The sound was so loud that it made people feel as if there were rolling waves in the river and thousands of silver dragons leaping. The thunderous sound of the waves was shocking, as if it was washing away the dust in people's hearts.

Some wandering people in the martial arts world heard something mysterious from it, and their minds lost their concentration for a moment, and the energy in their bodies became out of control. It was like huge waves colliding with each other in the Ren and Du meridians, rolling over and over, and damaging their meridians.

These wandering wanderers who listened to the waves were lying all over the Baolin Tower with blood oozing from their mouths and noses.

The strange sound of waves did not scare away the guests, but instead attracted more curious people to gather in the building.

Literati wrote poems and painted pictures to the sound of waves, musicians composed music to echo the sound of waves, and wanderers hoped to learn some magic from the sound of waves.

Over time, the sound of waves in Baolin Tower has been praised as the best in the tower.

And the instigator upstairs was manipulating more than a hundred void warriors in the small and large circulations in his body to push out the true Qi together, making it like a surging cold wave with continuous sound of waves.
