MTL - Who Told Him To Cultivate Immortality!-Chapter 42 Legends and facts often diverge

  Chapter 42 There are often deviations between legends and facts

  After Qi Wu paid the tribute to the mountain god, he hurriedly gathered together with the crowd.

  The people covered in water were shivered by the cold wind.

   "If you continue like this, you will get sick."

  The old Orion went to the corner, took out a handful of firewood, and smiled with big teeth: "Our Orion sometimes shelters here from the rain, so we left firewood here in advance, waiting for today's use."

  Qi Wu was overjoyed: "Thank you so much."

  The old Orion didn’t care: “It’s nothing, living in the mountains means you help me and I help you. When the rain stops tomorrow, we can collect some firewood and put it back.”

  Everyone quickly piled firewood on the fire mark on the ground. Qi Wu took out a fire talisman to light a wooden branch, put the branch into the dry wood, and blew the fan lightly. The dry wood was slowly ignited.

   Looking at the gradually rising flames, feeling the warmth of the flames, someone let out a long breath.

   "Finally alive."

   "Brother Qi, do you eat yellow rice cakes or white rice cakes?"

   "One of the same?"

  One of them distributed the dry food, and after everyone got the dry food, they put the dry food by the fire and roasted it.

  After the fragrance was roasted, Ah Yue took out a can of pickles and asked everyone to spread it on the pancakes, and bit it down with a mouthful of salty aroma.

   "A Yue's skill in making pickles is really good. If you want me to say, A Yue might as well open a pickle shop. Why do you need to do business with us?"

   Ah Yue smiled, but didn't say anything.

  Qi Wu thought of the scene just now, and asked: "Old Sun, why did you ask Ah Yue if someone pushed him down?"

   It was the first time for Qi Wu and the others to enter the mountains. They wanted to cross the mountains to sell goods in Qinghuai County on the other side. After searching for a long time, they finally found an old local hunter to lead the way.

  The old Orion looked solemn: "Have you ever heard of ghosts?"

  Qi Wu and the others looked serious. They traveled all over the world, so they naturally knew about some ghosts and ghosts. One of them even said loudly: "You mean ghosts who work for tigers?"

The old hunter nodded and said in a low voice: "This mountain is called Songshan. About ten years ago, a hunter went into the mountain to hunt, and then disappeared, leaving only a shoe. At that time, someone said that a tiger demon came from the mountain. Orion ate it."

   "At first people were unwilling to believe it, thinking that they have lived here for generations, how could there be a tiger demon?"

   "But as time went by, some people said that when hunting, the hound barked in one direction, and he looked in the direction, and his body became stiff with fright."

   "It was a colorful tiger, which was four meters long. The tiger leaped and rushed at the hound. He ran away when he saw it. Fortunately, the tiger didn't catch up!"

"People also found people missing from time to time, so they reported the situation to Qinghuai County. After the officials learned about this, they asked me to go to Yanjiang County, saying that Songshan was close to Yanjiang County, and you only sold the prey to Yanjiang County. It should be up to them."

   "When I came to Yanjiang County, the officials said that Songshan belongs to Qinghuai County and should be managed by Qinghuai County."

"After a few rounds of tugging, two monks from both sides were sent to search for the tiger demon in Songshan. They searched for ten days in a row, but they didn't even find a tiger hair. Explaining that the tiger demon might be avoiding them on purpose and not daring to come out, the two monks didn't listen to our explanation and walked away."

   "We went to the government again, but the government stopped talking to us."

   "We have no choice. Most people leave Songshan and find another way of life. Only a few of us old guys are left here. We can do nothing but hunt and stay here."

   "Later we found out that when we were hunting, we would encounter those missing travelers. The travelers appeared and disappeared from your eyes, appeared suddenly, and pushed you."

   "Sometimes when I take people into the mountains, those travelers pretend to meet us by chance, and ask everyone to stop by, can they take him along? How dare I agree, so I hurriedly take people away?"

"The older generation said before that there is something called ghosts in the world. When a tiger demon kills a person, the person turns into a ghost, looking for prey for the tiger demon, and tricks the person into a place where the prey turns into a new monster. Ghost."

   "However, it is easy to deal with ghosts. As long as you refuse the request of ghosts, ghosts will not do anything to you."

  Qi Wu was stunned. Before that, he was surprised that there should be many hunters in such a large forest. Why did he search for a long time to find a few hunters, and these hunters still live together.

   It turned out that it was forced by the tiger demon.

  Seeing A Yue's hesitation, Qi Wu asked, "A Yue, if you have any questions, just ask."

  At first Ah Yue felt embarrassed to ask his question, but the boss said so, so he stopped hiding it.

"I only have one question, does this ghost have a female ghost? Is it good-looking? Can it be seduced? Can it **** male yang energy? Is it possible that I will start a forbidden love with her, avoid the tiger monster's pursuit and kill, and roam the rivers and lakes ?”

  Every time Ah Yue asked a question, a question mark popped up on everyone's heads, even the old Orion.

   Seeing this reaction from the crowd, Ah Yue scratched his head in embarrassment: "I've seen that it's written like this in all the novels, A Chinese Ghost Story, and the relationship between humans and ghosts is nothing."

  Qi Wu was silent for a while, then patted Ah Yue on the shoulder: "Let's read less books."

   Then Qi Wu asked again: "Then why don't you, grandson, report this matter to the five great immortal sects? The five great immortal sects defend the righteous way and will definitely not sit idly by."

   "Five Great Immortal Gates?" The old Orion looked blank, having never heard of this title.

   "These are the five famous decent sects including Wendaozong and Xuankong Temple, and they are also the five most powerful sects in the entire continent."

"I seem to have heard of this name before." The old Orion said uncertainly. He didn't know where he heard it. Maybe it was in the teahouse at the foot of the mountain, maybe it was a tourist who entered the mountain, maybe he heard it when he was young, maybe he heard it when he was old. heard.

Can not remember.

  In fact, the folks know very little about the cultivators, they just heard a little excitement.

   Not to mention that the stories passed down by word of mouth are too easily deformed. When they are spread to the ears of ordinary people, they are often very different from the real stories and cannot be believed.

For example, Qi Wu once heard that the reason why Dao Dao Zong is called Dao Dao Zong refers to the vastness of the immortal way, and the meaning of asking about the sky, and that cultivating immortals means cultivating the mind, so you need to keep asking yourself what kind of path you are pursuing, whether it is the righteous way or the devil way, don't lose heart.

   Once Qi Wu met a disciple of Dao Dao Zong, who seemed to be named Dai Bufan, and asked him why Dao Dao Zong was called Dao Dao Zong, Dai Bufan's answer he still remembers very clearly.

"If you ask this, we have to talk about Xiantian Taoist, the founder of our Wendao sect. In order to find a treasured place of geomantic omen, the patriarch spent a lot of money to ask the people of Tiance sect to locate and calculate, and finally found a congregation. He also said that if the sect wants to prosper, it needs to set up a sect at a specific time and a specific place."

   "As a result, the patriarch did not know the way. He had clearly marked it, but he still lost his way. He had to ask the old farmer on the side of the road for directions. Only then did he find the address of the sect, without wasting time."

   "To thank the old farmer, the patriarch named the sect Wendaozong."
