real world

Chapter 2 Searching for Immortals
"how?"

"It went well. They were afraid of me and didn't do anything."

Song Xiao sat by the sea of ​​tea, frowned slightly and said, "It's just that this kind of thing has been happening more and more recently."

"The ones who can find me, or meet me, are only a few after all..."

"Master, those people are becoming more and more lawless!"

Opposite him sat an old man with a thin face, wearing a gray Taoist robe and holding his hair in a bun.

Tea is being made there.

Looking up at Song Xiao, he said, "According to your description, that group of people is not simple."

"But there is no need to worry unnecessarily, the world has its own fate."

"You can solve it smoothly, it's already very good, and you can become a teacher."

As the old man said, he picked up the old purple clay pot in his hand and poured Song Xiao a cup of tea.

Song Xiao frowned and stared at the black Jianzhan: "Master, I think I'm still far behind."

The old man raised his chin slightly, signaling him to drink tea.

"This is the Enlightenment tea picked from the Penglai Mountains extending through the gap, the real treasure!"

"I don't even want to drink it. It's specially reserved for you. It's good for you."

"Master..." Song Xiao looked reluctant.

The old man is good everywhere, but he is a bit of an old naughty boy. He doesn't talk about martial arts very much and always teases him.

Make some stuff that I don't know what it is, and it blows the hype every time.

It's not a tribute from heaven, but it's a specialty of Penglai Xianshan in Kunlun.

As a result, it is hard to say every time.

"drink."

The old man knocked on the table with his finger: "Don't be ignorant, others want to drink it yet!"

Song Xiao had no choice but to pick up the teacup with a bitter face, carefully took a sip.

Eyes suddenly lit up.

It's not hard to drink this time? !

Not only is it not bitter, but it also has a hint of sweetness, which instantly spreads to the taste buds.

At the same time, there is also a mysterious energy, which spreads throughout the whole body in an instant along the meridians.

Song Xiao closed her eyes slightly, and performed the Golden Body Sutra.

The golden light blooms like the rising red sun!

Much stronger than before in that compound.

It is like a divine light protecting the body, reflecting the whole person like a god.

"That's right, the speed of your Golden Body Sutra cultivation is faster than I expected, so I'm relieved."

The old man stroked his goatee with his hands, and a gratified smile appeared on his ravine old face.

Song Xiao didn't speak, still holding the teacup, immersed in that state, comprehending it carefully.

Master didn't lie to him this time, this tea was completely different from those dark dishes in the past, and his mind became very clear in an instant.

It seems that at this moment, no matter what you learn...you can easily understand the essence!
a long time.

Song Xiao put down the teacup, got up and bowed to the old man: "Thank you, Master."

The old man said with a bored face: "Sit down, sit down, don't act like an old cadre, young man, you have to learn to be lively, otherwise you won't be able to find a girlfriend!"

Song Xiao sat down, and complained helplessly: "You are a Jinshi on the second list, where are you getting so many witty words?"

The old man glanced at him and said, "People, of course we must keep pace with the times."

"Now those ghost kings are starting to use their mobile phones in cars. What's so strange about learning a few new words for the teacher?"

Song Xiao looked at the old man: "Master, will this world really... develop as you said before?"

The old man took a sip of tea from his cup and remained silent for a while.

Finally, with a wry smile, he sighed softly: "The heavens are declining, the underworld is collapsing, and the intertwining of the two worlds will inevitably become more obvious."

"Aren't there more and more visions outside these years?"

"A lot of ordinary people are starting to notice this."

"The general trend is like a river, it cannot be stopped."

Song Xiao sighed: "Now even many creatures in the inner world are starting to walk in the world in a grand manner."

The old man raised his eyebrows, chuckled, and said, "They?"

"normal."

"The Battle of the Conferred Gods has re-divided the sphere of influence, and those creatures we call demons have been peaceful for thousands of years."

"In modern times, the heavens have declined, and there is no way to hide, and the collapse of the underworld is imminent."

"People in the world are losing their sense of awe again, and all kinds of monsters...Of course they can't help but want to move around."

Song Xiao asked: "West powers attacked our country a hundred years ago, does it have something to do with it?"

The old man sighed softly: "The sky is about to change, who doesn't want to make their side stronger?"

"Especially in recent years, the changes have become more and more drastic, like boiling water, it has been transpiring, you have to be careful."

He looked at Song Xiao: "In the past, I was a little too relaxed with you as a teacher. Hey, I always feel that there is still time, and I don't think it will come so soon."

"Good apprentice, you have to work hard in the future!"

"Roll hard! Roll them to death!"

Song Xiao: "..."

"If the sky changes, wealth, power, status... these things will become worthless, and the world order will be readjusted."

In the end, the old man looked at Song Xiao and said softly, "Forget about those unpleasant experiences in childhood."

"I've forgotten it a long time ago!" Song Xiao said seriously, "I will keep Master's teachings in mind."

The old man nodded: "You are the most satisfying disciple in my life!"

"Students are dull, they have practiced for so long, but they haven't been able to step into the level of golden light..." Song Xiao felt a little ashamed.

"fart!"

The old man rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile: "How many years have you practiced, do you dare to think about the restraint of the golden light?"

"If your senior brothers who have practiced for hundreds of years heard this, wouldn't they be ashamed to reincarnate?"

Song Xiao could only maintain a polite smile when listening to Master's daily diss to seniors whom he had never met.

The old man got up, and took down a simple tea knife and a palm-sized blue and white tea pot from the ancient shelf behind him.

Put it in front of Song Xiao.

There was a look of nostalgia in his eyes, and he said: "This is something used by the tea sage Lu Yu. It is a treasure and can be used for self-defense."

"The tea caddy is the first magic weapon that my master personally refined. It can be zoomed in and out by chanting the incantation."

"You don't like tea, it can be used for storage. This thing can hold living things."

"When you are strong enough in the future, there may be other uses."

Song Xiao's eyes lit up, the holy tea knife, the space jar...these are all treasures he has coveted for a long time.

But the master usually takes good care of him and won't let him touch it. Why is he suddenly so generous today and wants to give it to him directly?

Reminiscent of what Master said just now, such as "become a teacher" and "relieve", Song Xiao's face gradually became dignified.

The old man smiled and said: "The sky is about to change, God's will is hard to break, everyone has to fight for it."

"Master can't stay here all the time, he has to learn from that senior Qin Huang back then, and go find a fairy!"

Song Xiao subconsciously stood up, surprised and said: "Master, you want to go?"

The old man waved his hand: "Why panic, sit down, and be calm when it comes to major events! How did I teach you?"

"But……"

"The 20-year relationship between you and my mentor and apprentice is not short!"

"Apart from your senior brother and fifth senior brother, you, the closed disciple, have been by my side the longest."

The old man looked at Song Xiao who was still standing there, and laughed at himself: "Before I was a teacher, I was content with the status quo, and I was somewhat unwilling to make progress, but now I can't do it."

"When you are a master, you must always set an example for your disciples and open up a way for you to come out."

"You don't need to worry, it's dangerous over there, but it's not a place to die, otherwise those ancient forces would have been wiped out long ago."

"What's more, Tianting is also there, and there are acquaintances as teachers."

Song Xiao's eyes were slightly red, and he said, "Don't lie to me, I see that world more clearly than you!"

The giant beasts and strange beasts in the Book of Mountains and Seas, the huge ferocious birds that cover the sky and the sun, and those great monks who fly into the sky and hide from the ground, killing people without blinking... These legends in the eyes of others, he has been able to see them since he was a child!

The old man sneered: "What's the air when you see a corner?"

Song Xiao retorted seriously: "The corners and corners are so dangerous, what's inside?"

The old man snorted and said with a proud smile: "So what's inside? Being a teacher is not a fish to be slaughtered, and besides, I have Xiaoqiu to accompany me."

Song Xiao looked at the scarecrow in the corner wearing a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "That's it?"

It can't be used as firewood to make a meal!

The Scarecrow spoke suddenly, and said angrily, "What's the matter, look down on me?"

Song Xiao was stunned.

His eyes widened suddenly, and he was really taken aback!
He has been here countless times over the years, and the scarecrow that is always placed in the corner has always been just a scarecrow.

For this reason, he once suspected that the old man liked to collect junk!

Master called it Xiaoqiu and said it was amazing!

Song Xiao never took it seriously.

When he was naughty when he was young, he often played tricks on it, and once took advantage of his master's absence, he pulled two handfuls of straw from it.

As a result, the master who seldom beat him took two rulers so hard that his butt was swollen, which is still fresh in his memory.

Never thought that this scarecrow... was actually alive!
Even though this is the underworld, Song Xiao still feels unbelievable.

"You naughty little thing, you lack great virtue!"

"What old cadre? The outside is honest and honest, but the inside is all black!"

"Plucked the hair on my body since I was a child, and tried to set me on fire when I first learned magic!"

The old man glanced at Song Xiao.

Song Xiao showed an embarrassed smile.

Master didn't know about setting fire, otherwise there would definitely be a meal.

"For Master's sake, I'm too lazy to talk to you, and I don't have the same knowledge as you, how dare you look down on me now?"

The Scarecrow was full of resentment, accusing Song Xiao of his crimes indignantly.

The corner of Song Xiao's mouth twitched and looked at the old man, still in disbelief: "Master, Xiao Qiu is not a dead thing?"

"Pooh!"

"You are the dead thing!"

"You little bastard with no manners!"

The Scarecrow became even angrier: "You don't even want to call me Fifth Brother!!!"

The old man persuaded: "You have been in seclusion all year round, and you have never shown your supernatural powers in front of him. It is normal for him not to know."

Then he looked at Song Xiao and said, "Xiaoqiu was originally an ordinary scarecrow in the rice field. By chance, Lingzhi was born. He has practiced with me for hundreds of years, and his strength is very strong."

"According to seniority, it is indeed your fifth senior brother..."

I actually have a scarecrow brother?

Song Xiao was speechless.

No wonder Master never introduced those brothers to himself.

A scarecrow can become an apprentice, so is there a fox sister?
However, the curiosity in my heart was quickly overshadowed by the sadness that Master was about to leave.

He was able to grow from a freak in the eyes of others to today, all thanks to the old man in front of him.

Otherwise, even if he was not sent to a mental hospital, he would have been depressed and autistic.

"Okay, don't act like a child. Now that you have achieved something in your studies, your ability as a teacher is limited, and there is nothing to teach you."

With kindness in his eyes, the old man picked up a letter he had written long ago from the edge of the sea of ​​tea: "One more thing..."

"After going back, take time to go to the capital and give it to someone."

Song Xiao took the letter, and said in a depressed mood, "When are you going to see me again?"

The scarecrow laughed in the corner and said, "Little guy, when you become a golden body and your body is sanctified, you can freely enter and leave that world, and we will have a chance to meet each other then!"

Song Xiao rolled his eyes.

To put it lightly, how many people in ancient times can achieve the golden body and physical sanctification?
The old man looked at Song Xiao gently: "Go, when the fate comes, we will meet each other."

Song Xiao's eyes were slightly red, and her heart was full of reluctance.

But I also know that since Master has made a decision, it is impossible to change it.

Put away the tea knife, tea pot and the letter.

Kneel down and kowtow, bid farewell to Master.

……

Qingbei County.

At the door of Song Xiao's studio, a girl with a ball head was looking up at the plaque above her head boredly.

The girl is tall and slender, with exquisite facial features, white and tender skin, two strands of hair hanging down her forehead, very playful and agile.

This kind of girl with good looks and good temperament is particularly eye-catching everywhere, and people who pass by her can't help turning their heads.

Sudden.

She looked back not far away, with a bright smile on her face, and shook her fair and slender hand.

"Hi, long time no see!"
