Chapter 68 Returning to the Hometown
Chapter 68 Returning from a Thousand Miles to Find the Hometown
In the second month, all things come out of the shock, which is thunder, so it is called Jingzhe. The hibernating insects are startled and run away.
Now that the rain has passed, spring thunder is heard and everything is coming back to life. I wonder if there are still peach blossoms blooming on Rotten Peach Mountain, which has become a bad omen?
Cheng Xinzhan opened his eyes. After half a month, he had become completely familiar with this body.
Now the hibernating insects underground were awakened by the spring thunder and were running around. He had lived in Wuyou Cave for half a month and it was time for him to go out.
He was still wearing the outfit of Qiu Shui on his left side and a seal on his right side, but this outfit reminded him of when he was traveling outside. He also remembered that he had a white dog left in the Miaojiang market. He thought that he should go back again to pick up the white dog, but this time he would not have to travel thousands of miles. With the "dragon carriage" running fast, it would only take two or three days.
As luck would have it, just as Cheng Xinzhan was about to leave, a command arrow suddenly flew in front of him, and Wen Sukong's voice came from the command arrow:
"If you have nothing to do, come to my place."
Cheng Xinzhan accepted the call and walked towards the direction of the bamboo stele.
When he approached the bamboo pavilion, he saw many wooden boxes of different sizes placed on the ground. With just a quick glance, he estimated that there were probably about thirty or fifty of them.
He came to Wen Sukong and bowed, saying, "I wonder why Master has summoned me?"
Wen Sukong glanced at him, a little surprised, and said, "This is not just a trick, have you started practicing the art of transformation?"
Cheng Xinzhan nodded slightly and explained, "Disciple has indeed begun to comprehend the [Change] spell, but the [Change] spell is indeed obscure and difficult to understand. Now I only have a partial understanding of it and can only comprehend one or two of it."
From Wen Sukong's perspective, after her Dharma eyes penetrated through the illusion on the surface of Cheng Xinzhan's eyes, what she saw was not the original bamboo stick, but a vague human figure. This boy's talent in spells and his understanding of the meaning of Dharma really surprised her again and again.
However, Wen Sukong did not specifically praise him. She pointed to the box on the ground and said:
"These are the thank-you gifts from Hongmu Ridge and Qinglong Cave, all for you. They sent more this time, but in name only they did it to thank you, but in reality they did it to build a relationship with Sanqing Mountain, so most of them were for the mountain gate. But I haven't seen those people, and they are being received by the people from the Foreign Affairs Institute, so I'm too lazy to care.
"There is one more thing. Several families in Southern Xinjiang have already discussed the distribution of the evil caves. I heard that the old master of Qinglong Cave finally showed up. After all, Emei is far away and couldn't gain any advantage. Instead, several families in Sanxiang got a share.
"They also gave that real evil a name, called Purple Fire Rotten Peach Evil, which belongs to Yi Wood and Ding Fire Evil, and is in the Yin. But there is no news about which evil spirit is aging and dying. It is probably owned by someone, but they are hiding it and dare not say it."
"To be honest, you are the first person to have this evil spirit enter your body. To say that your experience this time is a blessing in disguise is to underestimate the pain you have suffered. But to be honest, it really saved you the effort of looking for the evil spirit in the second realm.
"Wait until you can transform the true evil in your body into evil water. When you reach the second stage, you can use it directly. This evil is new, and it seems to be of a high grade. The evil has been in your body for a long time, and your body has adapted to it. It will be much easier when you refine it in the second stage, and then you can concentrate on finding Xuan Gang."
Cheng Xinzhan nodded, that was indeed the case.
"Wang! Wang Wang!"
At this moment, a dog barking sound suddenly came from a large wooden box.
His eyes lit up, the voice was familiar. He quickly walked to the wooden box. The box was sparsely nailed and looked more like a cage. He opened it and saw that Bai Long'er was indeed inside.
Bai Long'er jumped out of the wooden box and circled around Cheng Xinzhan. Gou'er looked puzzled. He heard the sound right, and the appearance was right, but why was the smell a little wrong?
Cheng Xinzhan smiled and scratched Bai Long'er's chin with his hand. The dog immediately wagged its tail happily. It knew that this was right, this was its master.
Wen Sukong was a little surprised when he saw this, and asked, "Could it be that you have a dog outside the door?"
Cheng Xinzhan nodded and said, "I passed by the Miao village when I was traveling before, and it was given to me by the people in the Miao village."
Wen Sukong laughed, "That's good, I'll have a companion on my cultivation journey. This dog looks good, and its bloodline should be good too. You can feed it some elixirs and spiritual food later, and it shouldn't be difficult to transform into a demon."
Cheng Xinzhan smiled and nodded. This was exactly what he meant. "Okay, take these things away. And now that you have mastered the art of transformation, you can go learn thunder magic. I have already written this note. Take it with you."
Wen Sukong threw over a light green note that looked like a bamboo planer and rolled it up.
Cheng Xinzhan took it, thanked him and left.
He used his magic power to pick up the dozen or so boxes and arranged them in a row behind him, while Bai Long'er circled around Cheng Xinzhan again and again, fearing that his master would be left behind again this time.
Returning to Wuyou Cave, he put all the wooden boxes back into the cave.
Bai Long'er turned around quickly in the cave, then ran to the bamboo forest and turned around quickly, then ran back happily. But when he thought about the group of people who stuffed him into the wooden box without taking out the cloth that had been used as a cushion for him for a long time, he couldn't help but get angry and barked twice.
Cheng Xinzhan knew what the dog was yelling about, so he took out an old piece of clothing from the cave stone, the clothing he wore before entering Sanqing Mountain. When Bai Long'er saw it, he immediately rushed over, wagging his tail, bit the old clothing, dragged it to the cave entrance, put it down, lay down next to the cave entrance, and immediately began to sleep soundly, as if he had not slept for more than ten days.
However, even though the dog was soundly asleep, its ears were still erected high, as if it was still listening to everything.
With so many things coming at once, Cheng Xinzhan was not in a hurry to go out. He opened them one by one. There were some spiritual herbs and fruits, and mysterious elixirs sent by Hongmu Ridge. What surprised him most was that there was a method to refine peach mud miasma and miasma. Now that the true evil has appeared, the peach mud miasma should be used less.
As for Qinglong Cave, they paid off his reward for drawing talismans and removing evil spirits in the market, and also gave him many footwork and sword techniques. They must have been able to tell from the past exchange of rewards that Cheng Xinzhan was practicing swordsmanship.
By the time Cheng Xinzhan had sorted out these things one by one and put them in the cave stone, a day had passed.
After checking, he stood up and walked out of the cave again. When he reached the door, the sleeping dog immediately got up and followed his master.
Cheng Xinzhan summoned the "Dragon Cart" and stepped on it, and Bai Long'er also jumped on it after seeing it. He smiled, touched the dog's head, and flew away from Meiji Mountain at a moderate speed and headed towards Xiaowan Mountain.
He first went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to erase the record of his going out.
When the Taoist priest from the Foreign Affairs Institute saw Cheng Xinzhan coming back, he asked him with a smile that a new evil had appeared in the south and several factions were fighting each other. He asked Cheng Xinzhan if he had witnessed the excitement.
Cheng Xinzhan smiled and shook his head, saying that he had already left.
Cheng Xinzhan asked the Taoist again whether Feng Jihu and Pu Jixuan had returned. The Taoist nodded and said that they had returned, both of them, a month earlier than Cheng Xinzhan.
Cheng Xinzhan smiled, thinking that good things were happening one after another.
Afterwards, he returned to Lantern Street, said hello to everyone, and said goodbye to them. He said that he had found an opportunity outside, opened up his heart palace, and now he has become a true disciple, and he is going to Meiji Mountain to practice.
Everyone was very surprised, but when they thought about the fact that Cheng Xinzhan could eat air in six breaths, they were not so surprised anymore. They congratulated him and praised him for adopting a handsome dog.
Cheng Xinzhan smiled and said that he would go to Duchuyuan to make a reservation right away and treat everyone to a meal tomorrow night, and that they should get drunk. Everyone smiled and agreed.
After saying hello to the people in Lantern Street, Cheng Xinzhan went to other streets to look for people he knew well and made an appointment to meet at a banquet tomorrow.
And during this entire process, no one noticed from beginning to end that Cheng Xinzhan's body was just a bamboo stick.
