Chapter Twenty-Six
Standing on the top of the South Five Slope, you can see the outline of Tianmen Mountain from afar, like a dream, as if Tianmen Mountain is a heavenly realm standing in the clouds, sacred and supreme, making people feel worshipped, but this kind of distant look is dozens of miles apart. Despite this, I am still very happy. There is still one month left before the three months. As long as you find Senior Heling, your master can resume his cultivation.
A simple little house is where Old Man Cheng lives. It is indeed as Tian Qilang said. Before he could get close, he could smell a strong aroma of wine and come to his nose.
"Is Mr. Cheng at home?"
Tian Qilang walked into the small yard with a smile and said it was a small yard, but it was surrounded by some jingling bamboo tubes and other fences. There was a piece of dry wine lees drying on the west side of the small yard, and there were a pile of empty wine jars on the east side. Seeing this, I felt a sense of intimacy when I returned home, because I also had a similar property in my hometown of Shengxian Village.
In addition, firewood is piled up outside the yard, which is the same as a small farmer in the mountains.
There are three houses, with stones piled up below, adobe bricks on top, and thatched lids on top. After waiting for a long time, when no one in the yard responded, Tian Qilang couldn't help but look back at us in a daze.
Although no one answered, the door of the thatched house was hidden, indicating that there was someone inside.
"Mr. Cheng, are you at home? I'm Qilang. Come back and see you. I'll introduce you to an old wine fairy to you, haha!"
Tian Qilang pushed open the door impatiently. At this moment, I frowned for no reason. There was a hint of yin energy inside the door. Could it be that Mr. Cheng had passed away?!
"Mr. Cheng! What's wrong with you, Mr. Cheng..."
Suddenly, Tian Qilang rushed into the inner room quickly. My master and I looked at each other and walked into the yard. When my master and I came to the room, we saw Tian Qilang sitting on the edge of the bed, with fingers resting on the pulse of a white-haired old man.
The old man's face was ashes, his body was stiff and lying on the bed, as if he was in a coma, and as if he had passed away...
"he……"
"Shh!"
Before I could ask, Tian Qilang suddenly stretched out his finger to his mouth and made a gesture of silence. However, the master glanced at the old man on the bed, turned his head and sat down at the main hall. I hurriedly chased him out and asked in a low voice: "Master, has Mr. Cheng passed away?"
"Of course not!"
The master responded simply and glanced around, muttering: "Where did this old guy hide the good wine? Well? Why did he just smell the fragrance of the wine, but he didn't see the wine?!"
"Uh... Master, Mr. Cheng is so sick, why did he come out to entertain us? Besides, we can't drink his wine without authorization, right? That's not good..."
I sighed, and just as I was about to sit down, I was kicked up by my master. I said anxiously: "Master...what is wrong with you?"
"Let's find wine!"
The master waved his hand and leaned against the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
"Uh...but Mr. Cheng..."
"He is not sick!"
The master narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled and said, "I won't die either, but my soul is gone..."
"Ah? The soul is gone?! This is still a trivial matter? By the way... Why is Mr. Cheng's soul gone?"
I looked at my master in surprise. The master just took a look and knew.
At this moment, Tian Qilang walked out and before I could ask questions, he went straight to the master and said in confusion: "Senior Zhang, Mr. Cheng's symptoms are very strange. My soul is gone. Could it be that I have been hooked by something?!"
Hearing this, I looked at my master in a little shock, and the master was really right.
"His life span is not over, who can attract his soul?"
The master frowned and said, blowing his beard.
"But his soul is indeed gone!"
Tian Qilang reached out and grabbed his chin, saying that he was at a loss... "This situation is really rare. He is already at this age and his life span has not yet arrived. There should be a birthday star. Evil spirits and ghosts, who would have thought of harming him? It's so strange, so strange!"
"Qiro!"
The master said lightly: "Have you never thought about what else can make people wander around?"
"Ah? Senior Zhang's meaning... Could it be that Mr. Cheng is...the body of cultivation?! This, why didn't I see it when I first met him? This is really a real person who doesn't show his appearance...hahaha..."
Tian Qilang shook his head with a wry smile.
"What you said is not completely correct. He is practicing cultivation, but this time he did not practice, but went to Yin..."
The master said with a cautious look on his face. After saying that, he turned his head to look at me and scolded impatiently: "Boy! Why are you still standing here when you ask for wine?!"
"oh!"
I nodded quickly, but I was quite interested in what my master said about yin. It was because there was also yin learning in my family's teachings. However, I missed some methods when I was a teenager, including yin. Speaking of which, the family-born Yin-Yang Glass collected in my arms are magic tools for yin protection. However, I have never been yin, so I didn't use yin and yang glasses, and I couldn't play the real role of yin and yang glasses...
So when my master Hotan Qilang talked about the incident of going to Yin, I was quite interested. While looking for the wine that Mr. Cheng had treasured, I was also pricking up my ears to listen to my master Hotan Qilang's conversation.
"Senior Zhang means that Mr. Cheng is helping someone get into the dark world now?"
Tian Qilang turned his head and looked at the inner room, then said in surprise: "It's not like, since I'm helping someone walk through the darkness, where is the Lord of Respect?"
"Of course, Master Yuan is at Master Yuan's house, otherwise he can still sit in front of you and talk to you!"
The master gave Tian Qilang a angrily glance and said, "There are many strange people in the strange stone town, and it is not surprising that Old Man Cheng can go to the dark world. In addition to trying his wine, I still have another question, and someone needs to help me solve it!"
"Senior Zhang, you have any questions, but it doesn't matter. Maybe we can think of a solution together!"
"Yes, yes, Master, I can help you find a solution!"
"Look for wine with your heart! If you don't have any trouble, you can't find wine tonight, so you don't have to eat!"
I suddenly jumped out, but it made my master, Shiro Hotan, stunned. However, my master got angry in an instant, and I quickly became involved in the great cause of seeking wine again...
"The strange man is so virtuous. Old Man Cheng's soul seems to have left for some time. It's not back yet. Someone must have trapped him. What I am confused about now is who traps him!"
The master blew his beard and was obviously a little unhappy.
"Who can trap Old Man Cheng?! He is helping people go through the darkness. If this matter is disturbed, it will be punished by God!"
Tian Qilang said angrily.
"Someone is..."
The master slowly reached out his hand to stop Tian Qilang from saying it. Sure enough, a little fat man walked in. It was the little fat man we met before. As soon as he entered the door, he greeted his master, Tian Qilang and me one by one, and then said respectfully: "Grandpa, I'll come to Grandpa Cheng's house to get three jars of wine back."
"Three jars of wine? Why is this?"
The master stood up and asked in surprise.
"This is what Grandpa Cheng ordered early in the morning. If he hadn't woken up at the You hour, he would go to his house to get three jars of wine."
The little fat man said seriously. After saying that, he walked to the center of the main hall, raised his foot and knocked on the ground. My eyes lit up. It turned out that Mr. Cheng had hidden all the good wine underground!
No wonder I can't find it!
