Chapter 09 Visitors

Dongting Lake is the largest lake in Xiaoxiang and even the whole land of China. It is warm and pleasant, with a typical southern climate. Therefore, the Dongting Lake Basin is also a famous hometown of fish and rice. The aquatic products here are extremely rich. People living in the Dongting Lake Basin inevitably take fish as their staple food. Fish are indispensable on the table of every family. When you are tired of eating, you can eat in different ways, change a fish a day, and take turns to eat all kinds of fish. I don't know how many days later.

In addition to eating fish by themselves, the people also cooked all kinds of fish into delicious food and sold them to past merchants, which made the fish of Dongting Lake famous in Xiaoxiang.

In the early morning, Chaoyang Dongsheng, and Guang Yizhen led his disciple Yan Ji to Nanyang Town on the south bank of Dongting Lake. As soon as I stepped into the market, I smelled the delicious smell of grilled fish from afar. When I smelled it, I wanted to eat it, and I couldn't help drooling.

Guangyi subconsciously looked at Yan Ji beside him. Thinking that these days, he only cared on the road and ate some dry food and dried cakes along the way. Anyone would be tired of eating them, so he said to Yan Ji, "This grilled fish tastes delicious, doesn't it? Do you want to eat some?"

The fish Yan Ji has eaten since she was a child are nothing more than steamed fish, boiled fish, and braised fish. She has never eaten grilled fish. She also wants to taste the taste of this grilled fish.

The master and apprentice casually found a stall selling grilled fish and sat down. The stall owner was a 50 or 60-year-old man. He was the only one who took care of the stall. He was not strong, but he was energetic. At first glance, he knew that he was a person who worked all year round. When the old man saw that the visitor was a Taoist priest in green robe, he was stunned for a moment and thought why the monk did not quit meat? But then when he saw that the old Taoist priest was still followed by a young man dressed as a layman, he figured it out and immediately came forward and greeted attentively: "What kind of fish does the guest officer want to eat? As long as the fish can be named, I have all of them, such as carp, catfish, grass carp, crucian carp, black fish..."

The old man, the stall owner, said dozens of fish names in a series, not to mention Yan Ji. Even Guangyi, a half-immortal who lived nearly 300 years old, gained insight and knew for the first time that there were so many kinds of fish in the world.

Dozens of fish, each of which was ordered to taste fresh, but I couldn't finish it at all, so I only ordered a few rare fish to taste.

When the old man of the stall owner roasted three fish, Yan Ji found a problem. Master has become a monk and abstain from eating meat. Moreover, he does not want to survive with any food. The so-called eating fish is entirely to make his disciple have a full meal.

Thinking of this, there was a warmth in Yan Ji's heart, a faint smile on the corners of his mouth, and a little more respect for the master.

Guang Yizhen looked at Yan Ji eating fish with relish, just like a father watching his child eat, showing a kind smile. After a long time, he said to the old man of the stall owner, "Shopkeeper, you have wine here and give the apprentice a bowl."

Yan Ji was stunned, but there was no need to refuse. He knew what this move meant. When the elders agreed with the younger generation to drink, it showed that the elders thought he had grown up.

"I'm not a child anymore!" Yan Ji said silently in his heart.

"Come right away!" The old man answered with a smile and quickly poured a bowl of wine from the inner room. He looked at Guangyi Zhenren sitting beside him and said, "Taochang, you don't eat meat. There are also some rice cakes and tea in the small shop. Would you like some?"

Guang Yizhen shook his head slightly and said, "No, go ahead."

The old man walked away with a simple smile and muttered in a low voice: "I heard that some Taoist priests can do some magic of dieting in the valley, and they have great magic power. Is it that this Taoist priest can open the valley, so they don't have to eat?"

Some mumbled words were vague. Although Guangyi Zhenren, a monk with profound cultivation, did not hear what the old man buzzed and ignored him.

"The wine here is all inferior wine, and there is a lot of water. I specially bring good wine to your master and apprentice!"

A voice suddenly came from outside the stall. The master and apprentice turned their heads together and saw a green-robed Confucian student, looking more than 40 years old, with a heroic face and a chic look, holding a red porcelain wine jar in his right hand.

The Confucian student said this, and the old man, the stall owner, was immediately unhappy and said, "This gentleman, don't insult people. The old man is a real businessman. How can he sell it to guests with water in wine!"

The green-shirted Confucian did not look at the old man and smiled, "I didn't say that you mixed the water. Before you brought the wine, you had been mixed with water by the profiteer. Otherwise, how could it be so cheap? Will the cheap one be a good one?

As soon as he said this, the old man was speechless and stood aside without saying anything.

"It turned out to be you, and we met again." Guangyi Zhenren greeted him lightly, as if he had no feeling about the arrival of this person, not like his good friend.

Qingshan Confucian students went to the stall, sat down at the table of the master and apprentice, opened the wine jar, first poured a bowl for Guangyi real people, then Yan Ji filled Yan Ji's wine bowl, and finally poured wine for himself.

Yan Ji felt that this green-shirted Confucian student should be a friend of his master. He got up and said respectfully, "Is this gentleman a friend of his teacher?"

"It's an old friend," Guang Yizhen answered his disciple's question for Qingshan Confucian students: "He is Youao, the current saint of the Holy Dragon Sect."

"Holy Dragon Sect? Youao?" Yan Ji immediately realized that this man was the biggest demon of the demon of the demon religion. Thinking that the senior sister was seriously injured by the people of the demon religion, all the hatred was counted on the demon. She couldn't help gritting her teeth and wanted to get up and fight with him.

"Xiaoyan," Guangyi's wide palm suddenly pressed on Yan Ji's shoulder and shook his head gently, "Don't act rashly, just sit well."

Yan Ji's cold eyes looked at Youao fiercely and sat down unconvincedly.

Youao looked at his expression and said with a slight smile, "This is a good apprentice. You should listen to the master well." It seems to be making fun of him.

He looked back and forth on Yan Ji and asked, "Do you know my daughter Youlan? Are you her lover?"

Yan Ji turned his neck and didn't look at him. He replied impatiently, "Isn't it known? Let alone a lover."

Youao snorted coldly, looked directly at Yan Ji with deep eyes, and said, "Since you are not a lover, why do you promise to care for my daughter in every way? Is your boy's stomach full of flowers?

Yan Ji held her head high and was silent for a long time before saying, "It seems that a promise has been made, but it is made to a woman named 'Zhou Ruohan'. Does it have nothing to do with your daughter?"

Youao was also silent for a moment. She seemed to figure out something and said, "Since 'Zhou Ruohan' is a non-existent person, I won't say anything. Anyway, my daughter is really obsessed with you. In the past three years, she has been longing about you and can't sleep at night. . Although I don't like you, I don't want to go against my daughter's wishes. Let me ask you, are you willing to make friends with my daughter?

Yan Ji didn't think about it, so she shook her head and answered him, "I said I didn't even know your daughter, so how can I make friends with your daughter?"

"I don't know how to praise," Youao glanced at Yan Ji coldly, ignored him, and said to Guangyi Zhenren beside him, "This time I'm here to bring two pieces of news, a good news and a bad news for the Taoist priest."

Guangyi pulled his long beard and said indifferently, "Say it, both good and bad news will be said first. You don't have to ask me which one I want to listen to first."

Youao smiled and said slowly, "Aren't you looking for a ghost doctor and want him to remove the 'centrifugal spell' in your apprentice's house? The bad news is that the ghost doctor is dead.

Yan Ji heard the news, but there was no excessive reaction. She thought that the 'centrifugal spell' was nothing to threaten her body, but she couldn't use her true power. In the past year and a half, he has traveled to Xiaoxiang with his master, and the days have passed like this. He feels that he can still live without cultivation.

Guangyi Zhenren glanced at Youao and sneered softly, "Did you kill it? The good news is that you can lift the 'centrifuge spell', and my master and apprentice must promise you a condition!"

Youao confessed and nodded, "It seems that the Taoist priest is a sensible person, and I won't talk much. Twenty-five years ago, you attacked my holy dragon religion altar. At that time, a son and a daughter born by my wife were captured by you..."

Guangyi's real face was solemn, waved to him and interrupted, "Don't ask more. When your wife entrusted those two children to me, she said never tell them their true identity, let alone let Mr. Youao find them. Since I promised your wife, I will definitely keep my promise. Last time, in order to save the lives of the children of Sanqingguan, I told you that the two children were in Sanqingguan. In fact, they are not there at all. You don't have to bother to get answers from me.

Youao clenched his fists, and his cold eyes stared at Guangyi Zhenren for a long time. Although he was murderous, he also said kindly, "How can there be a father who doesn't miss his children? For the past 25 years, I have been missing my two children day and night? Excuse me, Taoist priest, are you such a cruel person? Let my father and son not be reunited?"

Guang Yizhen sighed and hesitated for a long time before saying, "The reason why your wife doesn't let your children meet you and recognize you is that she doesn't want your children to live in a place of life and death. At the same time, he also doesn't recognize you. Maybe he thinks you are not a good father, so she is coming. Make this decision before you reflect on it.

After saying these words, Youao pondered for a moment and then said, "I have nothing to say to you. Please leave." In addition, I also want to remind you of one thing. Don't think that there will be nothing to do on the right side. Sooner or later, you will die.

lowered your head and meditated for a moment, and added, "This is your life. It has been doomed since you sit in the position of Holy Dragon Sect. You can never avoid it, because you don't want to hide, fall into it, and can't extricate yourself!"

Youao woke up from meditation and looked at Guangyi Zhenren and said with a sneer, "Is evil better than righteousness? Ridiculous! It's just fate. I don't intend to escape fate at all. My life lies with me, not in heaven. One day, I will master everything in this world. Even the supreme god will be trampled under my feet. At that time, will my life be doomed by heaven? Do you understand?"

Guangyi's real face did not change, and he smiled faintly and said, "This is that the world does not have ' destiny'. Your fate is destined by yourself. What does it have to do with heaven? Do you need an anti-sky look? According to your nature, you rarely say such words. I'm afraid that the "Heavenly Book · Xuanjuan" you got will be of great help to your cultivation?

With that, he sighed, withdrew his smile, and said loudly, "Finally, I would like to remind you to cherish your life! Slow down, don't send it."
