Chapter 59 (3) The blood-stained road to immortality

Hearing the Taoist priest's laughter in the thatched hut, Chen Zhenggan was stunned, and without any hesitation, he fell to his knees in front of the door with a "plop": "Master, I am honored by my disciples!" Don't worry, don't worry, I saw the Taoist priest in the thatched hut open an account book and said: This mountain is the eleventh cave in the world.All the expenses of the Taoist temple in the mountain depend on raising funds to maintain the alchemy fire. I don't know how many taels of silver the layman will donate when he comes here? Chen Zhenggan was stunned: Daoist...I...

The Dao let out a long cry, and added another sentence: Kindness is the way, and the fire of pills is passed on forever. The bottom line for the donation of this temple is three hundred taels of silver, and there is no upper limit.Master He of the capital came here last month and donated three thousand silver coins. Layman, you can't be less than this amount. But I... Chen Zhenggan blushed, and muttered: I'm just a beggar, and I don't have a single silver scum on my body... What?You have no money?That Taoist turned pale, you stinky beggar, what are you doing here without money?roll!

Chen Zhengqian got angry: Taoist priest, why are you swearing at people? Master Dao just scolded you, what's the matter?Seeing that old man jump up, roll up his sleeves, and rush out the door, he couldn't help but punch Chen Zhenggan in the face: You stinking beggar, get out!I won't kill you... Seeing that the old man was approaching menacingly, and the old fist was very hard, when he hit Chen Zhenggan's face, it was immediately bruised.He didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he had to hold his head and turn around and run away.The Taoist priest angrily chased after him and cursed endlessly, until he had escaped a long way before he could no longer hear the old Taoist's angry curses.

Chen Zhengqian sat down and breathed a long sigh of relief. It seems that this road to immortality is really not smooth sailing. But now that he has come here, it is too late to turn back, so he can only bite the bullet and continue walking deep into the mountains. keep walking. After walking in the forest for several days, Chen Zhenggan's clothes were worn out, and his hands, feet and knees were dripping with blood.Going on further, he was already numb, dazed, lax in consciousness, and had lost awareness of changes in the external environment.Once he couldn't move anymore, so he just sat down on the ground with his back leaning on a big fluffy and warm thing for a while, then got up and continued walking.As I was walking, my heart suddenly trembled, and I suddenly turned around, only to realize that the one I was resting on just now was a colorful tiger the size of a calf.

Chen Zhengqian's body suddenly went limp, and he fell to the ground.After a long time, seeing the fierce tiger sleeping soundly, he got up again, panting heavily and continued to walk forward.As I was walking, I suddenly saw a huge blue rock in the distance. On the rock stood a Taoist priest with a long beard like snow and an immortal demeanor.Now Chen Zhengqian quickened his pace, and it took him less than half an hour to get to the bottom of the cliff. He saw the Taoist priest still standing on the cliff, with a childlike face and white hair, and bright eyes. In an instant, Chen Zhengqian's legs softened, and he knelt down under the cliff: the immortal is above, Xiao Ke is from Zhengzhou, Henan, and he has gone through untold hardships. He came here to visit the Dao of Zhendan, and if he looks at the immortal, he will pity him... say After saying this, I looked up again, and there was no one on the cliff.

How could Chen Zhengqian be so willing?It took another half a day to go around the mountain road before reaching the cliff.When I went up, I saw a stone cave, and the old Taoist with white hair and childlike face was coming out of the cave. Chen Zhengqian hurriedly knelt down: the immortal grows above, and if you take pity on the little one... It's your mother's head.Hearing the immortal elder cursing angrily: "It's blue sky and white day, it's really unlucky to meet you with such a mental illness... Amidst the anger, he tiptoed his toes, and with a bang, Chen Zhengqian was kicked out and hit the stone wall .He got up again with his face covered in blood, and seeing that the Taoist priest had already entered the cave, he pushed a stone over and blocked the entrance of the cave.

Chen Zhengqian rushed over and pushed it with his hands, only to find that the stone blocking the entrance of the cave was so heavy that he couldn't push it at all.Chen Zhengqian knew it in his heart, this time, he must have met a god. So Chen Zhengqian knelt outside the cave, trying to impress the immortal with his sincerity.After kneeling for a few days, the food he brought had already been eaten, and the two terrible things of drinking water and going to the bathroom alone made him miserable.However, heavy snow fell on the top of the mountain again, but the snowflakes were fluttering, covering the sky and covering the earth, and where the strong wind was blowing, the howling of tigers and wolves could be faintly heard in the distance.Chen Zhenggan was so hungry that he passed out at the entrance of the cave.

I don't know how long it took before Chen Zhengqian woke up faintly. When he opened his eyes, he saw a little boy pushing aside the stone blocking the entrance of the cave and coming out with a piece of cake in his hand. Came here to ask for a call?Hurry up and leave after eating this cake, Master has a very hot temper, if you keep pestering him, he will really beat you to death. If you kill him, you kill him.Chen Zheng made up his mind and swallowed the tasteless cake. Suddenly, his mouth was full of fluid and his stomach was warm. His will to seek immortality became stronger, and he knelt down at the entrance of the cave, refusing to leave no matter what.

In this way, he knelt for seventy-seven forty-nine days. Forty-nine days later, the Taoist priest came out of the cave, and when he saw him, he scolded: You bastard who killed a thousand swords, you still blackmailed me?What do you want to do if you stay at the door and don't leave? Chen Zhengqian is telling the Taoist priest: Xiao Ke has come to seek the golden elixir avenue, and he will never turn back. Let your mother fart!The Taoist priest cursed uncleanly: "Master Dao, I have been begging for the Golden Core Avenue for more than three hundred years, and I still don't know what the Golden Core Avenue looks like!"You are so damn good, you opened your mouth and asked the Daoist for the Golden Core Dao, did the Daoist sleep with your mother?Or gave birth to your father?What is yours or what is owed to you?

Hearing that the old Taoist had lived for more than three hundred years, Chen Zhengqian was even more reluctant to leave: However, Xiao Ke invited the immortal master as his teacher, and cleaned the cave for the immortal master every day to show his filial piety. If you want to clean the grotto, Daoist will lose three hundred years of his life.The Taoist priest roared: Get out of here. Chen Zhenggan closed his eyes: Xiao Ke is just dying, and he will never leave. Then the Daoist will beat you to death... Seeing the old Daoist with fierce eyes, he picked up a wooden stick and rushed forward. Chen Zhengqian closed his eyes tightly, and the stick hit his head like raindrops. don't go.Suddenly there was a buzzing sound in the head, as if he had been beaten to death by the vicious old Taoist.

After waking up, Chen Zhengqian grabbed a handful of snow, wiped the blood off his face, and continued to kneel at the entrance of the cave.Hearing a crazy roar in the cave, the old man rushed out again with a stick. Chen Zhenggan closed his eyes and let the old man go mad. He would rather die in front of the cave than shrink back. After persisting like this for a few days, Chen Zhenggan was beaten to death by the old Taoist a dozen times. He was already dying, but his will became more and more firm. The old Taoist came out again with a stick, and Chen Zhengqian quickly closed his eyes. But this time, the stick didn't land on top of his head, instead he heard the old Taoist sigh helplessly: Goofy bastard, Daoist has lost to you.Tell me, what do you want to get out?
