Chapter 22 Chen Tongzi Riding a Crane
The appearance of this man made both of them happy and surprised. What was happy was that their fate should not be lost and they survived in a desperate situation; what was shocked was that this man's cultivation was unfathomable and he actually caught Lu Bu's Fangtian Painted Ridge with empty hands.
The two were surprised, and Lu Bu was even more surprised. He Xiang Zixu was as brave as the King of Western Chu and was unparalleled in the world, but after the Taoist grabbed his halberd with empty hands, he did not break his palms, and even his arms did not tremble.
"Who are you?" Feeling the Taoist's palm relaxed, Lu Bu pulled back the Fang Tian Hua Ji.
"I am the head of the Dingjia Sect, Chen Tongzi." After the Taoist said that, he left Lu Bu with a look of surprise, turned around and pulled the two of them up to raise their energy and rushed into the air.
Lu Bu knew that he was no match for Taoist, so he didn't dare to chase him. Besides, Taoist could rush ten feet into the air and rush out a hundred feet, and he could not catch up with him.
The two were clamped under the armpit by the Taoist, and the wind was cold and the inhalation was so strong that the fat man's lungs were irritated and he started coughing again.
After leaping for more than ten miles, the Taoist stopped. The two of them were able to see the Taoist's overall appearance clearly. This person had gray hair and a very old face. He was in his seventies.
"My younger generation Yun Shuiqing, Xie Zhenren will help him." After a brief loss of consciousness, Yun Yi bowed and bowed.
"Zheng Lei Zi Xie Zhenren." The fat man bowed in pain.
Chen Tongzi waved his hand and said, "Who are you masters?"
Yun Yi didn't understand why he had this question, so he just tilted his head and did not answer. Seeing that he didn't answer, the fat man shut up and said nothing.
"Well, you two don't say it, and I won't ask much." Chen Tongzi waved his hand and said.
"I should have told the truth to save my lives, but without the permission of my master, I cannot say his name. Don't blame me." Yun Yi bowed again.
Chen Tongzi nodded slightly when he heard this, and said, "I have something to ask the two fellow Taoists for help. I wonder what the two fellow Taoists thought?"
"The real person has saved our lives, but if there is something to do for you, I will definitely not refuse." Yun Yi said.
Chen Tongzi nodded and handed it to Yun Yi with a white jade seal in his arms: "I'm sorry to send this item to Kuaiji County, Yangzhou, and handed it to the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Restaurant, telling him: 'It's far away in the sky, close in front of me, I have six Jia, and I have complete methods. Who can teach me how to prepare for the prescription?'"
"You must bring it to me." Yun Yi put the seal in his arms and saluted him again.
"The world is not peaceful now, and your cultivation is still shallow, and it is difficult to protect yourself. I will help you open up the meridians in your body." After Chen Tongzi said that, he reached out and pressed the top of the two people's heads. The spiritual energy entered from the Baihui acupoints of the two people. First, go through the eight extraordinary meridians, then go through the twelve serious meridians, and then take back your hands after a while.
The two of them looked inward and found that the meridians were all normal, and the spiritual energy was extremely smooth. They were overjoyed and thanked Chen Tongzi again.
"It's a pity that I don't have a Qi-replenishing pill on my body, otherwise it would help you and the two of you to reach the Taishi realm." Chen Tongzi smiled.
"The real person opened the meridians of my two bodies, saving me from years of hard practice. I dare not ask for Qi Replenishment Pills anymore." Yun Yi shook his head and said.
Chen Tongzi nodded after hearing this, with a lot of appreciation in his eyes, and said, "I have something to bother the two fellow Taoists."
"Please speak with real person." Yun Yi said.
"I failed to fight with my enemy last night, and my life is about to end. The deadline is approaching. Please ask the two fellow Taoists to temporarily bury my legacy after I become a feather." Chen Tongzi sighed deeply.
Yun Yi looked up at Chen Tongzi. Although Chen Tongzi was old, he had no external injuries on his body and his Taoist robe was intact. He didn't feel as if he had suffered heavy damage when fighting with others. He felt suspicious and did not agree immediately.
Chen Tongzi saw through what he thought and said bluntly: "The Taoist sect is important in life and evil in death, and I will not talk about life and death in absurd way. Although I have not suffered external injuries, my heart meridians have been seriously damaged. I used to force the magic to force Lu Bu's halberd, and opened up the meridians for you. The heart meridians are traumatized even more, and I have not had much time to go."
"The real person's cultivation is unfathomable, so is he helpless?" Yun Yi was a little sad.
"I can't make a comeback, and I can't live tomorrow at noon." Chen Tongzi shook his head in a frustrated manner.
Yun Yi didn't answer the conversation anymore and was silent for a long time before nodding gently.
Seeing that he agreed, Chen Tongzi took off his shoulder bag and handed it over: "I still have some money in it. Two fellow Taoists, please buy a coffin for me, and the rest should be used as your money to travel east."
Yun Yi was speechless, took the bag and slapped it on his shoulders, and the three of them walked east together.
The fat man had injuries to his lungs and coughed all the way and walked unfastly. Chen Tongzi reminded him that the Qi-spirited lung meridian healed internal injuries, and the fat man's injuries improved according to law.
The fat man was very interested in Chen Tongzi. The Taoist was not an immortal. Unless he cast some kind of indestructible spell, he would not be able to catch the blade with his bare hands. He wanted to know what kind of spell Chen Tongzi had cast before, but Chen Tongzi kept his mouth shut and did not reveal anything to him at all.
The fat man changed his tone again and asked Chen Tongzi how old he was and where his home was, which were the most taboo questions for Taoists. Chen Tongzi ignored him, and the fat man was bored and could only rush to go.
After traveling east for a night, the next day, the three of them entered a small town. Yun Yi found that Chen Tongzi's face turned pale compared to yesterday, and his Taoist bun was a little scattered, and he felt sad again.
Chen Tongzi met him by chance, but he was a life-saving grace to him and the fat man, which was more important than Mount Tai. In addition, after walking together for a night, Yun Yi developed a lot of affection for him.
At this time, the town was very calm and there was no trace of people on the street. The three of them sought an inn. Yun Yi went up to knock on the door. After knocking several times, no one opened the door, so he kicked the door instead.
The shop owner was awakened by the sound of kicking the door when he was sleeping in a daze. He came out to open the door and saw that the three of them looked bad after opening the door. He immediately changed his face and smiled and invited the three of them into the house.
After entering the house and sitting down, the owner quickly went down to prepare the food without waiting for the three of them to order. After waiting for a long time, the food was served one by one. At present, the world was not peaceful, the food was tight, and the food in the inn was relatively simple.
Chen Tongzi was driving a crane and was indifferent to eating. Yun Yi felt sad and took a few simple bites. The fat man had never had enough food all these days, so he opened his stomach to eat.
After dinner, the three of them asked for two rooms. The fat man snored while sleeping, leaving him alone, and Yun Yi and Chen lived in the same room.
"You haven't closed your eyes all night, go to bed early." Chen Tongzi waved his hand and said when he saw Yun Yi looking at him blankly.
"The real person's kindness is unforgettable for me. I have other wishes. I will do my best to do my best." Yun Yi said, rubbing his red eyes.
Chen Tongzi shook his head gently, turned to the bed and sat cross-legged, and chanted scriptures in a low voice to do morning classes.
Yun Yi couldn't resist the sleepiness that followed, and soon fell asleep on his side. When the time came, he began to have nightmares, dreaming that he was chased by Lu Bu yesterday, Chen Tongzi suddenly appeared to rescue him, then woke up and hurriedly got up and looked at Chen Tongzi beside the bed.
Chen Tongzi still maintained a meditative posture, but his face turned pale and his bun was fluffy. Yun Yi trembled and reached out to test his pulse. After a try, his heart was extremely cold. Chen Tongzi's yang energy was dissipated, his soul was gone, and the little body temperature still existed on his wrist showed that he had not been driving the crane for a long time, and it should be no more than an hour.
Holding the grief in his heart, Yun Yi got up and went downstairs, bowed deeply to Chen Tongzi's remains: "Give me a gift to the real person..."
After the salute, Yun Yi went to the next room to wake up the sleeping fat man. The two went downstairs to ask the owner about the location of the coffin shop. The owner was frightened and hesitated. Finally, the fat man glared at him and he had to say it again.
After inquiring about the location of the coffin shop, the two went to buy coffins and memorial supplies.
The coffin was heavy and the two could not move, so they asked the owner of the coffin shop to take the cart to take it to the inn where they stayed. Many passers-by had fun, and followed the carriage, and Yun Yi did not drive them away because they would be able to use them for a while.
When the coffin was sent to the inn, the owner was even more nervous. Seeing Yun Yi going upstairs and carrying Chen Tongzi's remains, his face turned pale and his whole body was trembling.
Yun Yi ignored the shop owner. Chen Tongzi left a lot of silver. After purchasing the coffin, he still had the remaining ones. He left half as a way to travel east. The other half invited a few strong men to carry the coffin out of the town and searched for the ground to bury them.
An ordinary person needs to be suspended for three days when he dies. The purpose of this move is to prevent fake death. There is a glimmer of hope. If he buried it, the one who still has vitality will suffocate to death underground. However, Chen Tongzi is a master of Taoism and can clearly predict his own deadline, so the suspension of the mortal will have no practical significance.
After leaving the town, Yun Yi climbed up to look far and chose a place to shelter from the wind and restrain his energy as the place where Chen Tongzi had been sleeping for a hundred years.
Among the people carrying the coffin, there was someone with digging tools. After the coffin was dropped, the ground began to be ripped. The weather was very cold. Seven or eight strong men dug together, and only a few white marks were knocked out. Seeing this, Yun Yi and the fat man could only do it themselves, Qi Ning and dig with both arms.
After half an afternoon of excavation, the grave was cut out, and everyone worked together to place the coffin and backfilled the accumulated soil to build the grave.
After sending everyone away, the two burned incense to pay tribute to the dead souls, silently recited a few volumes of the scriptures for the ghost salvation. When everything was done, it was already dark. They continued to travel east while the night was dark.
Not long after, the two of them heard a slight footsteps behind them. They stopped looking at each other and looked back. They saw a black shadow suddenly squatting into the grass.
"It's a man, let's go." Yun Yi turned around and walked again.
The fat man quickly followed and asked, "Why is he following us?"
Yun Yi sneered and did not answer. Following him was a person who had carried the coffin earlier. This person must have seen the heavy burden he carried, and guessed that there was a lot of silver inside, and became greedy.
Yun Yi knew this person's intentions and it would be easy to kill this person, but he did not do so. People have dark sides and the other party does not take actual actions, which is not considered a mistake and he will not punish him. If the other party is really determined and wants to seek money and kill life, he will teach him that he will never come back.
After moving forward for several miles, the man kept following behind, but he had not taken action for a long time. He probably had been unable to make up his mind.
Human patience is limited. Yun Yi really hopes that the other party will kill. Chen Tongzi's death made him feel very frustrated. He was eager to expel this anger. Seeing that the other party was unstable, he stopped and turned around: "Come directly if you want to do, go home without the courage!"
The man was guilty of being guilty, and shivered when he heard the sound, and subconsciously squatted into the grass.
"You have followed you all the way, hurry up if you want to do it." Yun Yi shouted again.
The man thought for a moment, and when he thought that the two were young, he stood up straight and slowly approached the two of them with something in his hand.
