[Xianxia] Accompanying Longmian

Mubai lives in a dark underground cave. There are several ever-burning lamps embedded in the cave wall, emitting a dim yellow light, reflecting a pool in the shape of a Taiji Yin-Yang fish. The fish eyes of the two Taiji fish have two Smooth boulders, one above the water and the other below.When Ming Yuan entered the cave, Master Mu Bai was sitting cross-legged on the higher boulder breathing, his face was not as ugly as after vomiting blood just now.

Ming Yuan didn't want to disturb people's cultivation, so he still turned into water vapor to hide his body, and wandered around the cave in a bored way. After this turn, he became interested in a jade gourd placed on the altar table.

The gourd should be made of the same material as Mu Bai's saber, both made of ice jade, and there are small and complicated mantras engraved on the gourd, Ming Yuan leaned closer to take a closer look, but he didn't know what it was for of.The mouth of the gourd was tightly plugged, but even so, there was still a ray of spiritual energy escaping, and the fragrance contained in it was the same as that emitted by Mu Bai.

The tiger demon clamored to borrow a magic weapon before, so could it be this gourd?

While guessing, Ming Yuan walked around to the stone table on the other side and began to check Mu Bai's collection of books. On the left and right were "Baopuzi Nei Pian", "Zhou Yi Can Tong Qi", "Qing Jing Jing" and other rotten books. The Taoist masterpiece, but a half-open scroll of letters is a bit unusual. I don’t know if there is any record of the sealed monster in the mouth of the villagers.

Ming Yuan wanted to unfold the long scroll to take a good look, but was worried about disturbing Mu Bai, so he glanced at the pool, only to find that the little cultivator suddenly flipped his hands and squeezed a spell, swiped and closed in the air, The moonlight-like silver and white aura burst out from his fingertips, and flew straight to the jade gourd on the altar table. The gourd was pulled by the aura, slowly rose to mid-air, and while spinning slowly, released Mu Bai. Inhale all the spiritual power out of it.

Ming Yuan frowned and watched, and saw that the gourd gradually emitted a soft gleam, but the brighter the light, Mu Bai's face, which had already recovered its color, became paler again, he gasped for breath, bit his lip and struggled to support himself Sending spiritual power to the gourd, the whole person trembled like sifting chaff, only the pair of lacquer-like pupils were still bright like candlelight in the dark night.

Mu Bai's aura with a delicate fragrance was wafting in the air, Ming Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, he suddenly felt refreshed, with a feeling of blissful, Tao Taoran comfort, but looking at Mu Bai's face is already like Gold paper, cold sweat dripping down the temples, and it took a whole stick of incense to forcefully make a closing gesture, holding his chest with one hand and unable to catch his breath, while the jade gourd swayed back down as if after a full meal. Back to the altar.

Although Ming Yuan has a cold temperament, he can't help but feel sad when he sees this situation. It is not easy for monks to gather spirits in the dantian. Such a steady stream of output is no different from cutting flesh and bones. How could the Mu family be short-lived because of the curse? , obviously was sucked dry by this gourd, wounded the root and died.

Could it be that what is sealed in this gourd is a monster, so Mu Bai needs to use spiritual power to strengthen the seal?Ming Yuan guessed like this, then turned back to look at Mu Bai, at this time Mu Bai had recovered some strength, was slowly walking to the side of the stone bed and sat down, slightly closing his eyes as if intending to take a rest.

Ming Yuan sighed softly, walked to the bed, stretched out his fingers to draw a rune in the air, and then pointed at the person on the bed, Mu Bai's body gradually relaxed completely, and fell on the bed, Ming Yuan hurriedly Embracing his falling body, he slowly put him down on the bed, shook his hand again, took out a pill out of thin air and fed it to Mu Bai.Although this little monk is a bit inferior in Taoism, but he has a pure heart, and he is willing to do this for the sake of the peace of the people, compared to some people who are dignified, talk about compassion, and the Buddha of Immeasurable Life, who despise people's lives in private, and only care about his own practice to gain the Tao There are too many high-level people.

After taking the medicine, Mu Bai's complexion improved a little bit, and his breathing became longer and longer. He must have fallen asleep, so Ming Yuan stood up. He did this because he felt pity for the poor little monk and wanted him to rest for a while. The second is to check the manuscript while Mu Bai is asleep, but to his disappointment, there is no more information revealed in the manuscript, it is nothing more than what the old woman who bought cakes said before.

Ming Yuan frowned and put the manuscript back to its original position. In a blink of an eye, he saw a thread-bound manuscript on his right hand. The cover was empty, without even a title.He casually took the book over and flipped through it, unexpectedly, the more he read it, the more frightened he became, and the more he read it, the angrier he became--those practices of breathing and breathing mentioned earlier in the manuscript are not a problem, not only not a problem, but also very serious. It is exquisite and rare, but the magic sealing door mentioned later can't seal any monsters at all, but the method of guiding spirits, which is obviously stealing the spiritual power of monks.

The manuscript also specifically stated that the children of the Mu family were required to inject the spiritual power gained from their hard work into the jade gourd every day at noon, falsely claiming that this would further strengthen the seal and prevent monsters from breaking the seal and causing harm to the world.

No wonder he has been hearing about monsters and seals since he stepped into the village, but he didn't even notice half of the magic energy. It turned out that the jade gourd was not a magic weapon to seal monsters at all, but was used to absorb and store spiritual power—— Using the excuse of saving the people of the Li people, bound the Mu family here for generations, and tricked them into nourishing energy and gathering spirits for themselves. I am afraid that when Mu Bai's spiritual power is exhausted and his body dies, the ice jade gourd will be killed by the treacherous person who planned all this. Take it away, and he will absorb all the pure spiritual power inside.

It's ridiculous that the little cultivator was trying to cast spells on his sick body just now, thinking that he was doing good deeds to save people, but he didn't realize that he was just making wedding clothes for the wicked.Presumably he must have stayed alone in this cave to cultivate since he was a child, and his food and clothing are not very exquisite, but he needs to output spiritual energy every day, which is even worse than the furnaces raised by those evil sects.

Thinking of this, Ming Yuan couldn't help but looked up at Mu Bai who was still asleep, and saw that his chin was sharp and his eye sockets were black and blue. Although he was over 20 years old, he looked like an underage boy on the outside. It was because of the damage to the root that the growth of the body was slow, and the heart was filled with compassion, and the idea of ​​wanting to rescue the little monk and take him out of here to travel around the world could not help but arise.

The way he cultivates is neither Buddhism nor Taoism, he does not emphasize compassion and love for all living beings, but he emphasizes doing whatever he wants, so he did not step forward to rescue the villagers when they were attacked by monsters before, but now that he has moved his mind, he will not regret it, so he pondered for a moment and stood up. Get up and turn into water vapor and float out of the cave again.

If someone really tricked the Mo clan into gathering spirits for him, then every time the Mu family died, someone would come to take the gourd and bring new members of the Mu clan. Although the villagers on the mountain did not have such a long life, the lifespan of the goblins in the nearby mountains was much longer than that of ordinary people, and it may be unknown to those who have seen it.Mu Bai took his own elixir, and he won't be able to die for a while, why not ask the tiger demon before to see if there are any new clues.

The town is surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing water on one side, the Fengshui is excellent, and the surroundings are full of spiritual power, which is good for practice. Ming Yuan noticed several waves of evil spirits along the way, and simply ran to the nearest place where the evil spirits were transpiring.

When he was thinking about what kind of monsters he could meet, a big monkey as tall as a man jumped out from behind the tree. It was holding a rake, and its upper body was shirtless, showing its yellow fur. Coarse trousers and a pair of torn straw sandals on his feet, at first glance he looked like a farmer farming in the fields.

"I planted this mountain, I opened this tree, I want to pass through here, and leave money to buy roads—" The big monkey was uttering words, and at the same time it was dancing the rake like a tiger. A dozen or so little monkeys jumped out, some holding kitchen knives, some holding high sticks, and some holding feather dusters, with their hips on their hips and their teeth bared to cheer for their leader, shouting: "Whoa, whoa, whoa—— "

Ming Yuan was so teased that he almost burst out laughing. None of the monkey spirits he had met before was not a monkey spirit. Why did he meet such a group of little fools today, and immediately became interested in teasing them, so he said: "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm dishonest, but you see, I don't have any horses, no parcels, and nothing else. Where can I get money?"

The big monkey was stunned for a moment. Most of the people passing by on this road were merchants, or townspeople who wanted to go to the city market to buy things. They usually carried goods and money. Ming Yuan was so empty-handed that he was immediately questioned.

A little monkey next to him quickly jumped out to smooth things over, and yelled at Ming Yuan: "You are so ignorant, don't you still have this clothes if you don't have property?" After finishing speaking, he turned his head and flattered the big monkey: "My lord, I Seeing that his clothes are not bad, why don't you take them off and try them on, the king will surely make you look like a tree."

The big monkey's eyes lit up, and he hastily pointed at Yuan with the rake, "You, take off your clothes quickly."

Ming Yuan suppressed a smile and said: "My lord, this matter is inappropriate."

The little monkey who spoke up said angrily: "What's wrong, hurry up and take off!"

Ming Yuan shook his head: "You think the clothes are good-looking, not because the clothes are good, but because I, the person who wears the clothes, have a good life. So even if your king gets my clothes, you can't wear them like a tree facing the wind. The effect is coming."

The little monkey opened its mouth wide and clicked its eyes. After thinking about it, it immediately turned to complain to the big monkey: "My lord, he taunted you and said you are ugly!"

Although the big monkey is a bit stupid, but not stupid, he immediately heard the implication of Ming Yuan's words, his face flushed red, he stopped talking, roared and jumped forward, and the rake rushed forward. Raking down Ming Yuan's face.

Ming Yuan took a step back, and the rake hit the ground hard. Before the big monkey lifted the rake, Ming Yuan stepped on it, and the rake immediately seemed to grow in the ground. , No matter how hard the monkey tried, it couldn't move.

The little monkeys in the back were still shouting in unison, but now they are all dumb. They were basically invincible in their robbery before. Most of the time, as long as they jumped out from behind the tree, those mortals would run away crying. Leaving things scattered all over the ground, even if some of them can barely maintain their composure, as long as they show their weapons, they will generally just kneel down and beg for mercy. Such a powerful character like Ming Yuan has never been seen before.

After all, the big monkey is a monkey spirit, so he felt very good. When he realized that he was invincible, he immediately changed his face, knelt down and begged: "Hero, we were originally monkeys in the mountains. , I usually find some wild fruit mountain springs to fill my stomach, and occasionally rob passers-by when I am so hungry, but I never hurt people's lives. I dare not!" Seeing this, the little monkeys hurriedly crouched down and became smaller.
