Fairy cage

The white mountains and black waters that appeared in Yu Lie's eyes were clearly the place where he first entered the road, Blackwater Town!

But compared with the Heishui Town in Yu Lie's memory, the appearance of Heishui Town today has changed a lot.

Blackwater Cliff, which originally had no hooks or stairs, now has stone stairs surrounding the cliff. There are railings on the steps, and green will-o'-the-wisps are burning on the railings. Although it has a sinister temperament, it looks like a poisonous snake coiled on Blackwater Cliff. But it can also illuminate people.

The stone houses on the cliff are no longer just the residences of mountain ghosts, but have the appearance of a palace and a bit of a dojo.

Just looking at the size of the building complex, the population in Blackwater Town must be much larger than before.

Yu Lie withdrew his gaze from the dead wine bug, raised his head, and sighed:

"It turns out that not only has this place not been abolished, but it is even more lively than before."

After leaving Blackwater Town, Yu Lie occasionally paid attention to the news about Qian County because his godmother was still alive.

But in Blackwater Town, there was not only no one he cared about, but it was also on the outskirts, and information was limited. It would have taken a lot of effort to find out, so Yu Lie didn't pay any attention to it.

Only in the dead of night, when Yu Lie looked back on his decades of monastic life, did he think of this place where he first entered the path.

He did not expect that he would now be promoted to a Taoist priest and truly start to pursue the so-called great road. After going around and around, he would actually return to this place where he entered the Tao.

For Yu Lie, this place is actually more like "hometown" than Qianjun.

Perhaps it was because of timidity of leaving home, perhaps because of concern about the dragon spirit in Dao Town, or perhaps both.

After Yu Lie walked a few steps towards the Blackwater Cliff, he stopped. He did not choose to climb up the high cliff to take a look at the current Blackwater Town and compare it with how big it was in the past. Variety.

Yu Lie just strolled around casually, taking in the scenery under the cliff.

He also walked to the edge of the cliff and suddenly stretched out his hand. The fishing rod and line he used to fish for black snake fish when he was a Taoist boy once again appeared in his hand.

Visiting this old place, Yu Lie was touched in his heart. Looking at the fast-flowing Blackwater River, he thought to himself:

"I don't know what the situation of the Taoist disciples in the town was like after the Blackwater Temple Master left. Are the black snake fish in the river still as fat as before..."

As soon as he put on his robe, he sat cross-legged in a sheltered depression under the cliff. He threw the fishhook and line, which were of solid quality and had not been maintained for many years but still worked, into the black river and started working on his old profession. --fishing.

But compared with before, Yu Lie no longer used the meat refined in the wine glass as bait. Instead, he caught a small lizard-like beast from the cliff, pierced it through the chest and neck, and hung it on the hook as bait. went up and was thrown into the black river.

He plans to rely on his true ability to conquer this place!

Just a moment passed, and Yu Lie, who was never empty-handed, sat cross-legged for most of the hour, but not a single black snake fish took the bait, not even many other miscellaneous fish.

Yu Lie couldn't help it. He released his spiritual consciousness. As the fishhook spread downward, he clearly discovered that the snake fish in the Black River were still fat. Even if there were more dinosaur species, this section of the river was still thick. The territory of the black snake fish.

Just when he was about to cheat and use his consciousness to force a snake to hook the fish, his ears moved slightly and he looked behind him.

Kaka!

Under the Blackwater Cliff, there were sounds of fallen branches and leaves being trampled, and there was a rhythmic squeaking sound like the opening and closing of a wooden door.

Suddenly, on the steps of the green Heishui Cliff, a pale donkey appeared, with ghostly symbols on its face and an expression that looked like a smile but not a smile. There is also a copper bell hanging from the donkey's neck, which shakes every step as it walks.

Jingle bells, chanting sounds sounded behind the donkey, and twos and threes of childlike boys and girls said:

"Mysterious and dark confinement, Yin officials travel."

"Patrol the mountains and look at the cliffs, catch thieves and demons."

They were still holding green lanterns in their hands. After they got off the stairs, they were hanging on the donkey's back, like the butts of fireflies, rising and falling.

The donkey that led them was a paper donkey, and it was the paper donkey charm that Yu Lie had used when traveling.

At this time, sitting sideways on the back of the paper donkey, was a slim female Taoist. Her eyes were slightly closed, her eyebrows were delicate, and there was a bright red cinnabar mole on her forehead. She had a cold temperament. Although she was sitting sideways, But it doesn't look like Xiaojiabiyu at all. Instead, it is cold and stern, proud and gorgeous.

The female Taoist held a whisk in her hand, and her exposed wrist was as white as frost and snow.

Suddenly, her slightly closed eyes opened and her brows furrowed.

Immediately, the little Taoist boy accompanying him asked: "Taoist Master, is there anything abnormal under the cliff today?"

The female Taoist waved her whisk and pointed in a certain direction: "Let's go."

The woman ordered the Taoist boys who were guarding the cliff to change their direction and walk straight to the river under the cliff. And this direction is where Yu Lie suddenly decided to fish.

When a group of people and horses staggered over, the rest of the people by the river naturally lost their traces early. Only his fishing rod was still hanging on the bank.

After the fair girl came to the river, she got off the paper donkey, frowned slightly, and suddenly picked up the copper and iron fishing rod that Yu Lie used for fishing, and remained silent.

The Taoist boys accompanying her looked around boldly and murmured:

"You can catch a ball if you fish here!"

"There must be someone who doesn't want to pay for fishing and is fishing privately under this cliff to take advantage of our Feng Shui."

"Look at this crudely made iron rod. It's pretty solid, but at first glance you can tell it was made by some stupid craftsman. It's as thick as a goose egg. Any fishing gear shop in the town is better than this one. "

The group of Taoist boys were muttering, but they did not notice the female Taoist next to them, with a hint of memory in their eyes.

Finally someone recognized the fishing gear and it was a female Taoist girl.

She stood up triumphantly, raised her hands to the people around her, and said:

"All Taoist friends are telling you wrong things. This iron rod was a fishing tool commonly used in this town more than ten years ago. Someone must have dug this thing out of the beach somewhere... I have already dug it out in the hut. I’ve seen it many times. People often use these free tools, but in the end they find them cumbersome and throw them away while fishing.”

When the other Taoist boys heard this, their faces suddenly showed expressions of surprise and admiration, and they said, "That's it."

There was also a Taoist boy who was secretly unhappy when he saw that the girl was in the limelight, and said to himself: "You are the only one who is well-informed."

With the female Taoist's explanation, everyone accompanying them immediately understood why the female Taoist next to him was holding the thick fishing rod in deep thought.

This Taoist priest was a Taoist disciple who had cultivated in Blackwater Town since he was a child. It is said that he had also experienced the great changes in Blackwater Town.

These fishing rods, which were only used more than ten years ago, must have been used by her before. Now that she saw someone using the old things again, she was struck by the scene and remembered the past.

However, the woman's mind was changeable. When all the Taoist boys thought that the female Taoist priest was going to put the fishing rod into her sleeve, she narrowed her eyes slightly, but suddenly a ghost fire appeared in her hand, and the fishing rod melted into ashes in a flash. The copper and iron water on the beach is dazzlingly red.

The fishing line made of steel rope also broke completely and fell into the fast black river.

The female path did not explain her sudden actions. After all, her thoughts were too absurd and too whimsical. She just shook the whisk in her hand, hugged the whisk, and left the river in three or two steps.

The female voice said coldly: "Keep walking, continue patrolling the mountain, and be careful not to be killed by the lizards."

The little Taoist boys quickly spread their short legs, carrying lanterns and holding paper donkeys, staggering to keep up with the tall female Taoist with slender legs in front of them.

After they left completely, a figure quietly emerged and appeared in front of the dim pool of molten iron.

This person was Yu Lie, and he looked at the place on the river where the fish line that had been burned by the female channel sank into the river with a pity look on his face.

Just now, he had been waiting for a long time and finally saw a snake fish about to take the bait. As a result, the sudden female channel only disturbed his fishing, but also directly damaged his fishing gear and completely cut him off. Thoughts about catching snake fish.

"This is not a crime of war, and it is not my fault."

Yu Lie muttered in his mouth and said to himself: "If you hadn't seen that you are quite old, maybe you are in the same class as me. If I ruined my catch today, I would have made you suffer at any cost."

After comforting himself, he put away his sighs, reached into his sleeves, and slipped out the treasure-hunting bamboo rat with a bang in his hand.

The bamboo rat was pulled by its tail. After receiving Yu Lie's instructions, it landed on the spot and immediately sniffed left and right, looking for the direction of its spiritual veins.

The wine bug brought Yu Lie here, and he was too lazy to move again. He planned to simply find a retreat place in the Heihe area. But you can't just look for it, let alone hide it directly in the black water cliff. It's best to be hidden and have some aura.

And for this kind of work, the treasure-hunting bamboo rat naturally has to be involved.

Suddenly, the bamboo rat did not burrow into the ground as Yu Lie thought. Instead, it barked a few times, jumped on its short legs, and jumped straight into the Black River.

Yu Lie raised his eyebrows slightly, his figure flickered, and he followed behind the bamboo rat and headed towards the black river.

One person and one mouse groped under the Black River for a long time, passing through countless undercurrents.

When Yu Lie walked out of a dark river underground, he was surprised to find that the spiritual energy around him was full, far exceeding the best spiritual chamber in Heishui Town in his memory.

"I haven't seen it in more than ten years. Has Xiaodao Town actually developed to such an extent? Even its spiritual veins have become plump several times?"

Yu Lie was surprised in his heart. His consciousness looked around, and the strange color on his face immediately became more intense.

Because under the guidance of the treasure-hunting bamboo rat, although he penetrated the spiritual veins of Heishui Cliff, the rich spiritual energy around him was not simply caused by the escape of the spiritual veins, but a golden thing, which was Buried deep in the dark river...
