Chapter 3139
Yuan Ya quickly passed Xiao Hua. When Xiao Hua arrived in front of the Daoist temple, Yuan Ya quickly walked out of the Daoist temple and walked down the mountain path.
When Yuan Ya walked past him, Xiao Hua raised his head and carefully looked at the Daoist temple that the old man had mentioned.
This Daoist temple was extremely dilapidated. It was far from the green bricks and green tiles that Xiao Hua had seen from afar. The so-called beauty came from a distance, and it was also because of the green surrounding the Daoist temple.
At the front of the Daoist temple was a small dilapidated decorated archway. The decorated archway was only a few feet wide and two feet tall. There was no color on it, only black stains and spots of rust from the wind and rain.
Directly above the decorated archway was an even more dilapidated plaque. The writing on it was abnormally blurry. Xiao Hua looked at it a few times, but he couldn't tell what was written.
Behind the decorated archway was a small courtyard. There was a door that was a few feet shorter than the decorated archway.
At this time, the door was half closed. On the red wooden door, there were a few broken gaps that let in some light. Because of the withered paint, it was like the scales of a fish, densely packed together.
Xiao Hua pushed open the wooden door, making a sound. The door's axle clearly hadn't been oiled for a long time.
Behind the wooden door was a screen wall that had almost collapsed. However, it blocked Xiao Hua's line of sight, so he couldn't see the situation in the courtyard.
When Xiao Hua turned around the screen wall and saw everything inside the Daoist temple, he couldn't help but sigh.
This Daoist temple was only a few dozen feet tall. In the courtyard, there was a rather large pine tree that took up most of the courtyard.
Behind the pine tree was a main hall. Inside, there was a strange statue. This statue was three feet tall and only had half a face. It had a green face and red lips. It seemed to be holding a treasured sword in its hand, but only the sword hilt remained. This statue was the same as the wooden door at the mountain gate. The painted sculptures around it had fallen off, revealing many parts of the black-gray wood.
In front of the statue was a small table with three fist-sized red candles. However, at this time, these red candles were extinguished and not lit.
In front of the table were two praying mats. One was placed in the center, and the other was slightly behind, far away from the statue.
On the west side of the main hall was a small hall. Unfortunately, there was no statue inside, only a table and half a broken red candle.
There were rooms on both sides of the main hall.
In the west wing, there were several statues enshrined from north to south. Unfortunately, the statues were much more damaged than those in the main hall. It was almost impossible to tell what the statues looked like!
There weren't any statues in the east wing. Instead, it was a clean living quarters!
At this moment, the old man was busily pacing back and forth inside. From time to time, there would be some crisp sounds of bells ringing out.
Xiao Hua scanned the room with his soulsense. He knew that Yuan Ya had placed the crystals around the worn-out statues in the west wing. Xiao Hua slowly walked over to the west wing and tossed the crystals inside.
Then, Xiao Hua thought for a moment, turned around and walked out of the West Wing. He was about to walk out of the Daoist temple to get the crystal. At this moment, a "dang dang" sound, a strange sound, and footsteps came from the West Wing. Xiao Hua looked up and saw the old man walking out of the room.
Seeing the old man's attire, Xiao Hua was stunned.
The old man had already changed into a new Daoist robe. On his head, there was a hat that looked like a Daoist crown. Unfortunately, the color of the hat was different from the Daoist robe. It looked a bit awkward.
The old man was holding two things in his hands. In his left hand was a bell wrapped in velvet, which made no sound. In his right hand was a bamboo pole more than ten feet long. On the top of the bamboo pole was a small brown cloth banner with the word "Dao" written on it.
The strange sound came from the bamboo pole hitting the ground.
As for the old man's body, other than a yellow cloth bag on his left shoulder, there was also a peach wood sword on his back!
"Hmph …" The old man saw that Xiao Hua was still standing in the courtyard and snorted. The bamboo pole paused for a moment before he said, "This old man is going to take Yuan Ya out. Today, you will move those stones from the foot of the mountain to here!
Remember, you are not allowed to eat until you finish moving them! "
"Dao …" Xiao Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
He was a dignified cultivator. Although he had fallen into a difficult situation, but … but how could he rely on moving stones to make a living?
Besides, did he know this old man?
Even if he wanted to make a living, was there a need to stay in this cramped Daoist temple?
Besides, he had come out of the spirit stone without any injuries. Moreover, he was still alive. Clearly, he was a different person. Why couldn't this old man see him?
On the contrary, he didn't seem to be afraid of him. Not only was he not respectful, he even seemed to loathe him. He only said that he had some task to complete.
Unfortunately, just as Xiao Hua said the word "Dao …", the old man impatiently waved his hand and said, "Call this old man a Daoist priest!!
I don't know where you learned this Daoist from, and where you come from. You inexplicably let this old man run into you!
Really unlucky … "
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xiao Hua to reply and walked out of the Daoist temple with large strides. Looking at the old man's appearance, he had a rather imposing appearance!
Xiao Hua opened his mouth, but when he heard the last few words of this so-called Daoist priest that he couldn't understand, he still shook his head with a bitter smile. "Forget it. No matter what, he said that he hacked me out of the spirit stone. There should be some karma.
No matter how the old man misunderstands, this Xiao … will first move the stones!
After I finish moving the stones, this Xiao will leave! "
Thinking this, Xiao Hua slowly moved step by step to the dilapidated entrance of the Daoist temple.
This incomparably heavy body really made Xiao Hua uncomfortable. Compared to the carefree and unrestrained feeling he had in the past, it was really like heaven and earth!
Xiao Hua had just moved out of the mountain gate when he heard the old man in the distance shouting, "Ya … hurry, hurry, throw this thing to that kid. The matter of Minister Lu's family … this old man thought for a moment and decided that it would be better to go there as soon as possible!
He is an influential person in town. It's rare for him to send someone three days early to invite this old man!
No matter what, this old man has to give him some face, right? "
"Yes, master!"
In this short period of time, Yuan Ya had already reached 85% of the mountain path. Looking at his master who was rushing towards him, he agreed without hesitation.
Xiao Hua actually understood Yuan Ya's words. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. In his mind, the honest and considerate face of Xiang Yang unconsciously appeared.
"This master and disciple pair … is actually somewhat interesting!"
Xiao Hua originally had the intention to leave, but his brows relaxed again. He said with a smile, "Sending Liu 'er to Paradise is actually not that urgent.
As the ancient saying goes, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. This Xiao is currently struggling to move forward. Even if I have the heart, I am powerless.
Refining the Earth Crystal Yao Milk in my body would take several years.
Rather than hiding in the immortal cave and bitterly cultivating, it would be better to follow this master and disciple pair and see the hearts of the people in this ancient town. Reading about the various states of the Hidden Immortal Continent might be somewhat beneficial for pregnancy! "
Speaking of pregnancy, Xiao Hua's face became somewhat gloomy again!
It seems that he has never heard of a cultivator who lost their golden core while cultivating, right?
Right now, although he had just started to refine the Earth Crystal Yao Milk, Xiao Hua felt that there would still be a small amount of true qi flowing into his lower dantian. However, the invisible golden core in his lower dantian was like a bottomless pool. No matter how much true qi and true essence entered, it would not be able to contain it. Xiao Hua was afraid that one day, this golden core would mysteriously explode.
"Of course, that step seems to be too early!
This Xiao … "Xiao Hua thought as he slowly walked down the mountain path.
However, this mountain path has always been easy to go up, but difficult to go down. Right now, Xiao Hua's hands and feet were not easy to control. Just as he walked a few steps, his foot slipped, and a majestic late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with half a foot in the Nascent Soul realm … actually rolled down the mountain path like a gourd!
"Damn it … really shameful!" Xiao Hua almost cried out. He was almost two hundred years old, yet he still made a fool of himself like this!
En, fortunately, there will be no one on this mountain path. That so-called daoist priest and Yuanya also just left. At worst, he would roll down halfway and stop at the side of the road. At worst, he would fall into the river again!
He was not even afraid of the magnificent West Sea, why would he be afraid of this?
This matter was also a coincidence. Xiao Hua's rolling gourd was not as weak as Xiao Hua thought. He actually kept rolling down without stopping at all!
It seemed that if nothing unexpected happened, he would really roll down the mountain path at the bottom of the mountain.
"Huuu …" Just when Xiao Hua was feeling extremely depressed and was thinking about how to stop, he heard a roar that sounded like a wild beast. Immediately after, Xiao Hua felt a huge force blocking him. Xiao Hua's body was pushed down a few feet by this huge force before he finally stopped.
When Xiao Hua looked up, he saw that it was Yuanya who had just left. He did not know when he had returned.
Yuanya used his hand to block himself, but his arm was cut a few feet on the ground and was already badly mutilated.
"Are you okay?"
Although Yuanya's words were short, Xiao Hua did not understand. However, seeing the smile in Yuanya's eyes, as well as that trace of concern, Xiao Hua's heart warmed.
What he understood in his heart was that his body was covered in Earth Crystal Yao Milk. If he felt incomparably heavy, then how heavy was his body!
Of course, it could not be counted like this.
However, even if it was not Earth Crystal Yao Milk, how big was the force of his fall when he rolled down a few hundred feet?
If Yuanya did not have great strength, perhaps he would also be pushed down the mountain path, right?
Xiao Hua shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.
When Yuanya saw this, the concern on his face disappeared and returned to indifference. A kind of natural vigilance appeared in his eyes.
Immediately after, Yuanya stretched out his hands and cut a few times on the mountain path. His hands were covered in dirt and dust. In front of Xiao Hua, he rubbed his hands on his left and right arms. The dirt and dust really blocked the bleeding places. In a moment, the yellow dirt and dust turned brown and gradually condensed.
"You …" Xiao Hua was shocked. He had never thought that injuries could be treated like this!
However, Yuanya did not pay attention to Xiao Hua's shock. He rubbed his hands on his Taoist robe a few times, nimbly took out an oil bag from his bosom and stuffed it into Xiao Hua's hands. Then, without saying anything, he ran down the mountain.
What was special was that the place where Yuanya landed was not the real mountain path, but the surrounding mountain rocks and low thorns. However, looking at Yuanya's nimble hands and feet, he was more powerful than ordinary mountain beasts.
