Chapter 20: Betting on the Black Dog

Do you want to go to Laoshan?

Of course you have to go!

Laoshan was originally the place Su Yang planned to go. In the chapter on the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, there is a special story called "Achievement of Immortals", which describes the story of going to Laoshan to practice Taoism.

Su Yang had long longed for Laoshan... To be honest, if it weren't for Taoist Ma who suddenly appeared in front of Su Yang, and Su Yang had a Bagua bag and a magic pen in his arms, which could not be revealed in front of this person, Su Yang would have become a disciple on the spot and followed him to Laoshan together.

And after Master Ma said, it seemed that the two apostate masters were going to stay in Laoshan for a while, and the master should have also captured his senior brother Taoist Shan.

Su Yang still remembers that before inheriting the inheritance in Baochan Temple, the Taoist priest who guided him and claimed that Baochan Temple was a place with a painting wall warned Su Yang and asked Su Yang to leave earlier. It was also Su Yang's two gold bars. He bought two talismans from him. At night, he broke the soul he searched for and protected Su Yang's life.

At that time, Taoist Shan said that when the time comes, the King of Qi ordered them to go to the capital to do rituals, and they would not be delayed. I am afraid that they would be blocked by their master when they arrived in the capital.

Su Yang thought a lot in his mind. He walked firmly towards Laoshan. The mysterious secret method of Xuanzhen was related to the path to becoming an immortal. Su Yang naturally had to understand the secret from his master.

Let's go!

Looking towards Laoshan, Su Yang is full of energy.

From Ju County to Laoshan, you have to pass Zhucheng and Jiaozhou to reach Laoshan. It takes seven or eight hundred miles to Ma. Taoist Ma gave Su Yang a month's deadline, which is enough for Su Yang to rush to Laoshan. There is no need to take too much time to take advantage of this itinerary. On the way, Su Yang also needs to study the Xuanzhen Sect's "Xuanzhen Jade Book". Perhaps he has learned something by himself in the Xuanzhen Jade Book?

Su Yang also has his own abacus.

In Laoshan, if the Xuanzhen Sect members gathered there, I would no longer be the "Zhengzhen Sect" and I would have something missing after all.

A carriage, a pot of cold water, a few dry cakes, and a few clothes. Su Yang can be regarded as a light-fitting trip, heading towards Laoshan all the way. After a day of rushing, it was too late. Su Yang could not find a village in front or a shop in the back. Even a dilapidated temple in the mountains. In the cold winter, he could not see his five fingers. Su Yang finally found a rock under the mountain and parked the carriage. He shrank in the carriage, lit a candle, and silently looked through the Xuanzhen Jade Book.

"Boom..."

Thunder sounded outside.

The red and blue light intertwined, illuminating the sky and the earth.

Su Yang was inside the carriage, and he could feel the world outside brightly and darkly. Then the thunder thunder trembled, and then the wind was swept outside. Not long after, hail fell in waves, smashing the rocks above.

Su Yang held the lights in his hand and did not let the lights be extinguished. He felt the weather changes outside and did not continue to rush to the night road, but hid in the mountain rocks.

There are hundreds of six earths, and disasters are endless. It is not surprising that anything abnormal happens. Therefore, Su Yang did not feel that there was too much abnormality in the thunder and hail outside.

It was not until the Yin hour that the wind and thunder outside gradually calmed down. Su Yang blew out the candle and took a nap using the Five Dragons Snailing Method. After lit his mind, Su Yang was already invincible with the cold and heat. Therefore, in this cold winter, after another hail outside, it was cold and cold. Su Yang had no discomfort in sleeping in the carriage.

The Five Dragons' Hibernation Method is a magical skill for restoring sleep. Su Yang only slept for an hour and was already full of energy when he got up without any fatigue.

When he opened the curtain of the car, the cold wind was like a knife. Su Yang saw the dead branches and yellow leaves falling all over the ground outside, and a scene of decay. Then he looked at the vast white sky, and there were still dark clouds gathering, and the coldness surrounded from all directions.

It should snow this time.

Su Yang looked at the sky and said intimately, "He looked at the clouds, it should be like this."

With his hand and lifted the reins, the horse summoned by the scroll went towards Zhucheng.

I walked about twenty miles. When it was almost noon, Suyang arrived at a riverside. The water surface of the river was wide and there were no bridges on both sides. Only a few stones were crossing the river to serve as stone steps across the river. However, it was too cold and the water splashed on the stone, which had already made the stone have a layer of solid ice, and the tentacles were slippery, and if you were not careful, you would fall into the river.

When Su Yang looked at the river, he saw a man and a dog stuck in the stone steps, frozen in the water, and his whole body was stiff and he didn't know what to do.

After retracting the carriage, Su Yang walked steadily on the stone steps. When he reached the place where the man and the dog were, he reached out to touch it. He realized that the man and the dog had almost no life characteristics, but it was rescued for Su Yang. So he fished out all the man and the dog. When he reached the other side, he found some hay under the tree by the river, and let the man and the dog lie on the hay. He gathered a lot of dry firewood. He opened his mouth and lit it.

It’s cold and the fire is cold. In this cold wilderness, even a pile of fires does not have much warmth, but it is better than nothing.

After checking the body of the man and dog again, Su Yang took out a white-mang needle and stabbed the acupoints of the man and dog a few times to activate the yang energy in the body. Then he poured out some medicinal wine from Sun Simiao's father-in-law, fed the man and the dog respectively, and then used his mind to activate his blood and energy. The true energy stewed the man's clothes and the dog's fur. Not long after, the life characteristics of the man and the dog became obvious.

Su Yang collected firewood from left to right, burned the flames high, took out his own dry cakes and roasted them by the fire to heat up, and looked at the man and dog at the same time.

The frozen man was a man, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. His clothes were not expensive. He was not wearing thick clothes in the cold winter. He should be a poor scholar. The dog was black all over and was a Chinese pastoral dog. Before falling into the water, this dog should have been beaten hard, so that his internal organs would be damaged and several bones were broken.

At the moment, Su Yang had no medicinal materials around him. All he could do was to help the black dog's bones get back to his position with a wooden stick. The damage to the internal organs would have to wait until he entered the city before Su Yang could bring medicine for it.

"ah……"

The scholar who was rescued by Su Yang moaned and gradually woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw a bonfire. There was still a person sitting next to the bonfire, baking dry cakes. He looked at his age, but he was more mature than him.

"woke up."

Su Yang looked at the scholar, reached out and handed him a piece of the dried cake, and said, "Eat a piece of dried cake to warm your body."

The scholar took it over, looked at Su Yang, looked at the dry cake in his hand, opened his mouth and bit it, swallowed it hard for a few bites, then looked at Su Yang and said, "My benefactor's kindness to live, Han Liangming feels the five inner world."

"Not worry."

Su Yang was very happy to see Han Liang come alive and said, "This cold winter month, it is really fatal to fall into the water. If you rush forward in the future, you must be careful."

When Han Liang heard Su Yang's words, he lowered his head slightly, and then raised his head for a while before he raised his head, saying, "Actually, I was not a mistake... My family is a person close to Hanjiazhuang, and there is little land at home to support me in school, so I love to bet with my friends the most, and I missed a lot of money. Last night, I drank with my friends. After I came back, my father got me a bag with his head covering and pushed me into the river..."

So that's it.

Su Yang nodded. He reached out to take the dry cake from Han Liang's hand, threw the dry cake to the black dog, then reached out to carry Han Liang, and threw him into the water again.

Su Yang felt that he should not save this person, so that he would not go back and continue to harm his parents.

And betting on dogs will die!

"You're still dead."

Su Yang said to Han Liang.

After Han Liang fell into the water, he felt the ice was completely broken, and his body suddenly became stiff. He shuddered in the water, his hands could not scratch, his feet could not move, and he rose and floated in the water, shouting for help.

"My benefactor, save me quickly."

Han Liang called out to Su Yang for help in the water and shouted, "I really repent. After jumping into the water yesterday, I really knew I was wrong and I would never bet in the future."

The sincerity of these words did not seem to be false. Su Yang then walked down again, reached out to lift Han Liang up again, and threw it next to the fire.

After soaking in the water, Han Liang shivered against the fire, and his clothes quickly became hard after leaving the water. His face turned pale because of the cold, and he was trembling all over while sitting next to the fire.

At this moment, the black dog rescued by Su Yang also woke up, opened his eyes, got close to the fire, opened his mouth and ate the dry cakes, and stayed next to the fire without making a fuss.

"I'm pretty good."

Su Yang reached out to touch the black dog's head. The black dog just looked up at Su Yang and did not resist too aggressively.

"Persevere, I will buy medicine to treat you when I arrive in Zhucheng."

Su Yang said to the black dog, dogs are human, and Su Yang thinks that this black dog should be able to understand.

"My benefactor is going to Zhucheng?"

After hearing Su Yang say that he will go to Zhucheng, Han Liang looked up at Su Yang, and his words were still trembling.

"What's wrong?"

Su Yang asked.

"If you go to Zhucheng, I beg you to take me for a ride."

Han Liang said, "Last night, my father took me with a bag and pushed it into the water. He had already cut off the relationship between father and son. It was because I was unfilial first and he was unkind. Now I am lucky enough to survive, but I really can't go home again. In Zhucheng, there is a person I know. When we got together to gamble, two months ago, this person lost 100 taels to me. I have not paid it back yet. I am willing to go to Zhucheng to get back the hundred taels of silver, repay my benefactor's kindness for saving me, and can also buy another property there and never come back."

Han Liang felt resentful about his father who almost killed him, so even if he survived, he was unwilling to go back. Instead, he had the idea of ​​going to Zhucheng and settling down.

"Can."

Su Yang nodded. There was no advice from the father and son issue, but it was a matter of taking him away from here and heading to Zhucheng.

"Thank you, mercy."
