Aspiring to the Immortal Path

v5 Chapter 18: Tentative

When he arrived at Tang Jie's residence, Shi Jingzhai found that Tang Jie was not in the house, and only after asking the maid did he know that he had gone fishing at Jinchi Peak.

Jinchi Peak is a peak on the west side of Yongsui Mountain. It is not called Jinchi Peak, but Jinding Peak. More than a thousand years ago, You Tianxin really fought against Jinding Peak. The sky was dim and the ground was dark in this battle, and even the top of the mountain was flattened, the terrain was sunken, and finally a lake was formed. Because the lake on the top of the Rizhao Mountain became a brilliant golden brilliance, it was named Jinchi, after which the peak of Jinding became the peak of Jinchi.

However, although there is a lake on Jinchi Peak, there are no fish, and I don't know where Tang Jiecun's mind went fishing in Jinchi. Fortunately, immortal cultivators acted, and there are so many things that are unbelievable. As long as they have the heart, it is nothing to make Jinchi fish.

Knowing that Tang Jie was on Jinchi Peak at this moment, Shi Jingzhai flew to look for him.

The top of Jinchi Peak is covered with snow, and there are thousands of rays of sunshine on the lake. At this moment, two incompatible landscapes appear in one place at the same time. They are weird and harmonious, showing a different kind of scenery.

In the heart of the lake, a row of rafts drifted leisurely.

Tang Jie was sitting leisurely on the raft with a hanging rod in his hand, looking like a leisurely cloud and wild crane. Under the surface of the water, a large group of koi carps swam around, and a slender sewing needle hung in the school of fish. It was Tang Jie's hook.

Such a hook naturally couldn't catch any fish, but Tang Jie didn't care at all, just waiting quietly.

When Shi Jingzhai flew in from the sky far away, that "Little Friend of Tang Tribulation" made Tang Jie's face finally show a smile.

The fish was hooked.

He raised his head and looked to the sky: "It turns out that it was Shi Zhenren who came here. Why don't you come down together and grab a few poles and have a drink?"

Saying that he has raised the hip flask beside him, inviting to Kong.

Shi Jingzhai laughed: "The little friend is really in good spirits, so why not accompany the little friend."

A tone of pure passing by me.

Saying that I had taken out a piece of paper from the mustard bag, it was folded in two and turned into a paper boat, and then he blew a breath at the paper boat, the paper boat swelled in the sky, and finally became floating like a real boat. On the water.

Shi Jingzhai then landed from the sky and landed on the bow of the ship, beckoning to Tang Jie, "Why can't my little friend come on board, your place is a little smaller."

Tang Jie couldn't help but admire this.

Regardless of how simple Shi Jingzhai's use of paper as a boat looks simple, it is a real ability of chemistry, and it is also a skill that can only be mastered when he enters the heart of heaven. Back then, Xu Muyang sent him away with a paper horse by the same method.

At this moment, when Shi Jingzhai said so, Tang Jie jumped onto the Shijingzhai boat, boasting "A good way to be a real man," he took out a cup from his bag, filled Shi Jingzhai with a hip flask, and brought it to him.

Shi Jingzhai took the wine and sniffed it, and laughed: "Twenty-year-old apricot brew, Tang Jie, you robbed the old Chen family under the mountain, and got the only fine wine in Yongsui Mountain. There is also this lake. The fish, this is obviously the embroidered golden carp of the King's Palace of the Yaocheng City. You got it. You didn't see your feelings yesterday, and you went to Qiongzhou."

"A real person's insight is like a torch, amazing, amazing!" Tang Jie said with a smile: "Tang Jie's little tricks can't hide the real person's magical eye in the end."

Shi Jingzhai looked at the large group of embroidered golden carps in the lake, and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "It is said that these embroidered golden carps are delicious. You got this all at once, are you afraid that you have all of his pool?"

Tang Jie said with a smile: "The king of King Jing was stingy, so I asked him for a hundred pieces, but he refused, saying that he would sell me ten pieces at most. When he got angry, he sneaked in and took the money from his pond. The fish was cleaned, I am afraid that he will blow the lungs of the King King."

Shi Jingzhai frowned and said: "I know that my little friend is also highly valued in the Washing Moon Sect, and it is the person who personally issued a recommendation order by Ming Kui. According to the mortals in the Jingwang District, it is not a big deal to take him a few fish. However, the Moonwashing Sect has long established rules, and only real people can sit on an equal footing with the mundane king. The little friend is only a spiritualist in the end, so I am afraid that this behavior is still a bit too much."

Tang Jie said indifferently, "It's okay, but it's a crime of disrespect, and it shouldn't be a serious matter. It's no harm to make some small mistakes, as long as you hold on to the big problem, it is a big thing to destroy the house and the door."

Shi Jingzhai's heart was shocked.

What kind of thing is a major event that destroys the house and the door?

Speaking of it, there is one right now.

Are Tang Jie's words unintentional or meaningful?

Shi Jingzhai didn't know, but his heart became more and more jealous.

At this moment, I laughed and said: "What the little friend said is that as long as you keep the big things, some small sections are irrelevant."

Tang Jie had already sat down on the bow and threw the fishing rod in the lake again and said, "Do real people want to go fishing together?"

Shi Jingzhai looked at his straight hook and said with a smile: "Little friend fishing with a straight hook is so fresh."

Tang Jie replied: "It's nothing else to do, just teasing. Real people don't want to underestimate the embroidered golden carp looks ignorant, and each one is actually very alert. If I really want to catch one, they are afraid it will be immediately. It was gone, and the scene of this group of carp guards would never be seen again."

Shi Jingzhai regretted: "Then I can't eat this embroidered golden carp."

Tang Jie laughed: "Since the real person said that, even if Tang Jie burns the piano and cooks a crane, he will have to get a few pieces."

As he flicked his fishing rod, the straight hook had been brushed through the bodies of more than ten embroidered golden carps, strung in a string, and fell on the deck. The remaining embroidered golden carps looked at the situation. The rushing disappeared at the same time. Even with Shi Jingzhai's eyesight, he couldn't see where these fish were going.

Tang Jie already said, "It's enough."

Speaking of taking out the knife, it just started to scrape the scales on the boat.

Seeing him start, Shi Jingzhai has made a small stove to boil water. Tang Jie washes the killed fish with lake water and throws them into the pot. The cultivator usually carries the condiment bottle with him, so you put some green onion, I put some Ginger slices, old and young, just make fish soup on this lake. From time to time, things like "Don't make all the soup, more than a dozen, leave some braised and steamed", "If we don't have a wok, we are cultivators", "There is no soy sauce? Can it be changed", "Can't forget it, white Fry it, and it’s delicious." "You don’t know what a steamer is? I’ll make it, you can change it." Made of paper..."

Most of the time, it was Tang Jie's speaking and Shi Jingzhai's listening. His background and history make Tang Jie at least qualified to be Shi Jingzhai's teacher in terms of cooking. As soon as I was busy, a whole fish feast was gradually completed.

Looking at this sumptuous fish banquet, even Shi Jingzhai's index finger moved, and Tang Jie said with satisfaction: "Yes, today is a blessing. By the way, why don't the real people call the head of Qiu, Liang Zhenren, and Yuzheng together? , This rare item of embroidered golden carp, if you and I are exclusive, I am afraid it is not suitable."

Hearing what he said, Shi Jingzhai had no choice but to say, "Lao Liang has something to do with it for the time being. As Wanniang is not in the faction now, I can't call her. I'll pass the book to the head and invite him to come."

"Oh, did the Empress Yu go far?" After Shi Jingzhai's words, Tang Jie said casually: "That's really a shame. The Jin family's account may be fine after a few days. I don't know if it will be possible before Empress comes back. See her again."

Shi Jingzhai smiled and said: "She just went to see a few friends and will be back tomorrow night. It should be time to eat your embroidered golden carp."

"That's good." Tang Jie smiled and nodded.

Liang Yu couldn't come, the head Qiu also wrote back and said that he had something to deal with and was not free for the time being. In the end, the three of them didn't come, but the two of them feasted on it.

Shi Jingzhai replied to leave when he was full of wine and food. Although he was asked to monitor Tang Jie, it was impossible for him to stay with him at twelve hours. Anyway, as long as Tang Jie didn't leave the Shimen faction, he wouldn't be able to do anything, and he didn't need to care too much.

Tang Jie watched Shi Jingzhai leave with a smile, until his figure disappeared, his eyes became sharp.

With a light wave of his hand, the fishes that had fled before swam back one after another, still circling around on Tang Jie's small raft.

Tang Jie casually pointed, a carp suddenly fluttered and turned into a bubble burst. It was a swimming fish made by copying technique. Then there was a crisp sound, the countless embroidered golden carps in the water burst and disappeared, and finally became empty. Nearly a thousand fishes here are all copied, no wonder their actions are so unified.

Fortunately, it is a fish. If it is a human being, Shi Jingzhai is afraid it has already seen it.

He couldn't think of it, except for the dozen or so they ate, everything else was fake. Tang Jie did go to Jingwang's Mansion and bought more than ten embroidered golden carp, but in any case he was not arrogant to the point of putting others in a nest.

The reason for this is to test whether Shi Jingzhai can see through his copying technique.

Last night, he attacked and killed Lu Dong's subordinates. Although he deceived two maids by duplication, but because of lack of confidence, he did not dare to deceive a few with this technique, and it was because of this that he disappeared during the day. Until today, after probing, Shi Jingzhai did not find any problems with those fishes, and Tang Jie finally gained confidence, which provided a great guarantee for his future actions.

For example, if Tang Jie wants to go somewhere, he can use the copy to accompany Shi Jingzhai to drink and chat, and no one can doubt him anymore.

But in addition, Tang Jie has a bigger gain.

At this moment, lowering his head, he murmured: "Come back tomorrow night, once and again, if you fly at full speed..."

Tang Jie had the final say, estimated the approximate distance Yu Wanniang could fly, and took out Zhang Qixia's map and looked at it carefully.

There are seas on both sides to the southeast of Wenxin, and it is basically impossible to fly here. The north is to the direction of Xiyuepai, and the approach to this is to seek death. Then Yu Wanniang's only choice is west. Since it's only a day's journey, then its foothold is precisely in... Li Guo.

He finally knew who these people were selling the goods to.

"Seven Juemen!" Tang Jie spit out these three words coldly.

——————————

The mine under the night is still busy.

There was originally a world without day and night, or in other words, the world here has never had light from the beginning.

Describe the withered miner's door carrying a heavy ore basket, wandering around in the cave, carrying a pickaxe in their hands, looking for every possible mining location, and then working hard to dig. Sometimes they got a little flashing stone, instead of shouting loudly with joy, they immediately rushed to cover it carefully, lest others would find it.

As the mineral veins dry up and the mineral resources are gradually reduced, it becomes more and more difficult to obtain high-quality ore. Sometimes digging for a day may not get any benefits. So with the depression of the mine, scrambles and killings have also increased.

From time to time, a black shadow can be seen hurriedly running by, and behind the rush is a corpse lying on the ground and an empty mine basket.

Tang Jie walked in this dark and chaotic world, but no one found his existence.

He is like a ghost, wandering into the mine, step by step towards the depths.

Compared to last time, at least this time he doesn't need a guide anymore.

Into the depths, miners became scarce again.

Having come to the place where he encountered Earth Demon Ape last time, Tang Jie stood still.

It shows that some silver sand was taken out of the mustard bag, rubbed and sprinkled on the ground. Then he took out some materials and placed them in their respective positions, and put more than ten kinds in one breath.

Compared with the last time, Tang Jie's preparations this time were much better.

As the materials were laid down, the fingertips were even more spiritually drawn, spreading into a series of spiritual patterns, and finally Tang Jie punched into the rock wall, peeled off a large piece of ore, carefully searched, found a few pieces of raw ore, and rubbed it for a while. A small piece of spiritual stone, Tang Jie placed it on the ground.

I saw a brilliance on the ground, a little silver light dancing in the air, spreading to the surroundings, and in a blink of an eye, the entire mine and the cliff were placed under a shining star.

Tang Jie's eyebrows reappeared with vertical eyes, combined with those stars, presenting a strange light, like a searchlight, straight to the bottom of the cliff.

With the help of the magic circle, Tang Jie's eyesight was particularly strong this time, his gaze penetrated through the darkness, until it fell to the bottom, and finally saw the existence in the depths of the cliff.

At the bottom is a large humus forest. The purple-black land is full of dead trees, and the dry branches are covered with Jedi poisonous moths. They perched on those dead trees, quietly, motionless, as if asleep.

The whole land was shrouded in the dust of these poisonous moths, reflecting a purple life.

These poisonous things that even real people can kill are lying quietly at the bottom of the mine. As long as they don't disturb their rest, they won't move out easily. This may be the only better place for this poison.

Looking at the top of the rotten ground, Tang Jie searched with great patience. If the production area of ​​the sandworm is really near the territory of the poisonous moth, then there must be a way to enter.

Tang Jie believed that he would be able to find it.

It is a pity that apart from the poisonous moths and dead trees, there is only the underground river that is still flowing in this highly poisonous land. Because of the toxins, the underground river has become a faint patch of green.

Then Tang Jie's heart suddenly shook.

He suddenly jumped and flew downwards, and didn't stop until the edge of the starlight. The magic circle effect can still be used here, but it can be closer to the underground river. This closer distance made Tang Jie see more clearly. On a large rock near the underground river, there were several traces that were different from elsewhere.

These traces are not clear, but they look like traces of being stepped on.

There are not many places where the entire humus forest can settle. If it must be said that there is, then the large rock at the extreme edge is indeed a good choice.

As soon as he saw this stone, Tang Jie had a thought in his mind: Could it be that they passed by the lower reaches of the river?

Tang Jie immediately realized that this might not be impossible!

The underground river is flowing, which means it is not long-term toxic infestation like other places. There are two kinds of poisonous moths, one is dust and the other is venom. Its venom is violent, while dust is long-term and chronic.

The humus forest is created under the influence of the dust of the poisonous moths. As for the underground river, even though it is green, it is completely different from the venom in the poisonous moths. It is basically the weakened dust toxin.

This toxin can definitely resist the past with the strength of Tianxin Zhenren.

But then again, if you swim in this underground river for a long time without a good detoxification method, those chronic poisonous speeds will accumulate more and more, I'm afraid it will seriously affect your physical condition.

Regarding this, Tang Jie could only say that people died for money, and birds died for food.

Compared to the huge wealth that is about to be acquired, two years of hard work are nothing.

Thinking of this, Tang Jie also sighed and moved down.

This time he was a lot more careful, flying all the way until he landed on the big rock, not daring to make a sound, lest he would startle the poison.

Then he gently took off his clothes and stepped into the water slowly.

Although he hadn't entered the Tianxin, the body of the 100-refined stage plus jade was not necessarily inferior to the general Tianxin stage in terms of anti-toxicity. Besides, he didn't have to enter for a long time, and he didn't worry about anything.

After entering the water, Tang Jie only felt cold all over his body, and his skin was numb and itchy, as if there were tens of thousands of insects and ants biting. He knew this was a toxin reaction and could only endure it. Fortunately, after a while, the skin gradually adapted to this highly corrosive river water, and the itching was greatly reduced.

Tang Jie followed the river all the way downstream.

He originally left a pair of underwear on his body, and he was swimming at this moment, but he moved his legs and saw that the underwear had been torn apart. After I used it, I found out that under this poisonous water, the fabric became crunchy and rotten when touched.

The fault is not Tang Jie's extraordinary person, ordinary people rolled in this water for a few times, and most of them died directly, saying that it was a weakening toxin, but the power was still very important.

Tang Jie couldn't help but shook his head in awe, and then simply continued to sneak under the water naked.

After traveling for a while, a slender pipe appeared in front of it, with a black hole at the end, and nothing could be seen clearly. Without the help of the magic circle, Tang Jie could not see the situation inside ~ lightnovelpub.net~ This made Tang Jie hesitate and wondered whether he should move on.

Because this pipeline is too narrow, people who are more slack can't get in. Tang Jiejin can enter, but once he enters, it's hard to even turn around. If he wants to retreat, he can only slowly rub in little by little. If there is any danger, being in such a long and narrow tunnel will basically end in death.

Tang Jie didn't make a decision right away, but first looked at the surrounding environment and confirmed that there were traces of people here, and then thought of Shi Jingzhai's slender body, and gradually understood, he no longer hesitated, and went into the pipe.

It took me a little bit to move forward in the pipeline, but I don’t know how long it took. Fortunately, the cultivator was able to stop breathing. It was fine if he didn’t breathe for a while. Finally, Tang Jie got out of the tunnel and heard a touch, and fell into it. In a large pond.

Only then did he see that it turned out that the pipe was a mountain wall hanging above, and there was a cave underneath.

Compared with the humus forest occupied by the Jedi poisonous moths, the gurgling water and strange rocks here are simply a rare fairy cave. What is even more rare is that there are poisonous moths guarding outside, which is simply a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But when he looked inside the cave next time, Tang Jie was completely shocked.
