Chapter 64: Commentary

Not long after the cart, two horses and seven people left, the old man who was sitting quietly spoke.

"What do you think of the book when you read the foreign Taoist tradition?"

Ji Yuan's first reaction is naturally to look good and interesting to increase knowledge, but this kind of statement is of course inappropriate, and this book is good, and some places are quite awkward.

Looking down, he happened to have re-seen part of the description of the Mizusawa Spirit that he had accidentally turned over before, and the old man must have caught a glimpse of it.

Some of the contents on the book are most conspicuously disgusted with demons.

Take Long Jiao as an example, it's nothing, and it is written that the content of Da Jiao walking away from the water is indeed suspected of leaving a legacy to the common people, let alone doing evil.

But the book on the dragon Jiao's belongings of the clouds and rain, on the surface, say "good", but once there is a mistake in this kind of cloth, such as a small Jiao driving the clouds unstable, flicking the tail into a dragon scroll, sweeping some houses, then a feeling of "demon is a demon" obviously appears between the lines.

And this is only a small part of the book, there are definitely a lot of similarities throughout the book, in the words of the previous life, the author lacked a certain objectivity.

Under normal circumstances, this actually doesn't affect whether a book is good or not, and Ji Yuan didn't forget to sleep and eat for so long, but now that someone asks, this twist comes up.

Looking at the appearance of this old gentleman, it is quite reasonable, if it is a fairy and the like, it is naturally easy to say, even if it is a demon or a charm, Ji Yuan feels that he should be able to say it in an awkward way, so he hesitated a little and said it bluntly.

"I have a book that is passed on from the outside world, and I am still short of time, and I am fascinated by reading it, and I can't release the volume, and a good book is naturally a good book......"

Speaking of praise, Ji Yuan looked at the old man's unresponsive appearance, and the words changed.

"But the book's many flaws are regrettable!"

"I don't know what's wrong?"

Ji Yuan's eyes narrowed, his body sat up straight from a lazy state, put the book on his lap, and straightened his clothes, this series of actions means that what he wants to say is not a casual joke.

"This book is wonderful, but it is also full of prejudice, the so-called do not do to others what you do not want to do to others, how can the author of the book understand the truth that mortals understand? However, the narrative in the book involves many fairies and fairies, which is really a pity!"

"Oh?"

The old man's eyes lit up, and he straightened his back from the loose state of sitting against the stone wall, and sat facing Ji Yuan.

"Sir, can you elaborate?"

"Hehe, why not, could it be that the old gentleman can happen to be the one who wrote the book, and he will fight against each other?"

Ji Yuan's witty question also amused the old man.

"Naturally not. ”

"That's more reassuring in the next place, so I said it bluntly. ”

"Haha, sir, but it's okay to talk about it!"

Seeing the old man's open mood, Ji Yuan also relaxed his heart and his face was solemn.

"It is true that the grass, trees, birds, beasts, mountain spirits and monsters are harmful to people, and it is never advisable to generalize, in the book, Wang Lang saves the cat demon, and the cat demon wants to commit to Wang Lang as his wife, and then there are rich people who are greedy for their beauty and do more harm to Wang Lang, and finally make the Wang family ruined, and the cat demon then killed the rich family to avenge Wang Lang, the whole article is a thousand words, although the last two hundred words slightly mention that the people's hearts are sinister, but the monster harms people is quite weighty!"

"Ji, I don't like it!"

Without waiting for the old man to speak, Ji Yuan unfolded the book and flipped over a page of Mizuzawa.

"There is a saying here, the land of the country of Qianqiu has encountered a drought for many years, the author of the book said that this is the number of days, the people of the country go to the Dong River to sacrifice livestock and pray for rain, there is a dragon of the long-term food sacrifice, want to raise the wind and rain against the sky, and then be riddled with disasters, the author of the book only said that the monster can not be civilized!"

"Hehehe......"

Ji Yuan sneered a few times and didn't say anything directly, but the irony expressed by that laughter was extremely distinct.

"There are a lot of these kinds of books, except for the immortal way and there is no righteous practice?

I don't plan to continue talking about this plan.

"It's just that, don't mention it, it's only indignant. ”

The old man saw Ji Yuan's casual and calm glance at the content of the foreign Taoism, and listened to his previous taboo words, and an inexplicable faint admiration rose for Ji Yuan.

Silence in the grotto was briefly restored, and Ji Yuan read the book again and the old man leaned back to meditate.

About a cup of tea had passed, and the silence was broken again.

"Sir, do you know the name of the stone wall here?"

Ji Yuan put down the book and subconsciously glanced at the cave before answering.

"It's plausible... Wolong Wall. ”

"Yes!"

The old man did not get up, raised his hand and measured the height of the grotto, and there was an indescribable meaning in his eyes.

"Sir, do you know the origin of this Wolong Wall?"

How can this fate know, look at this pea-like shape, the shape seems to be indescribable, is there any meaning? Ji Yuan's thinking began to diverge.

However, the old man beside him continued to speak without waiting for Ji Yuan to think of anything.

"About 300 years ago, there was a deep pond buried 1,600 feet underground, and there were mantis lying in it. ”

Ji Yuan's heart moved, and he looked at the grotto again.

"That year was also a mango seed, and the mantis Jiao consciously practiced to perfection, and wanted to go to the water dragon!"

The old man's eyes interacted with the cangmu of Ji Yuan's ancient well, and he paused before continuing to narrate.

"The dragon belongs to the water, and it often floods the earth, but the dragon has been practicing for a long time, and the hundreds of years of anticipation are waiting for that moment...... That year, before the mango planting, the torrential rain was endless for half a month, the Desheng Mansion was flooded, the Jiaojiao led the water to break through the soil, Yu Ze dived and walked, and the realm of the three mansions was diffused!"

The old man paused when he said this, leaned against the stone wall behind him and slowly stroked his beard, and was silent for a long time.

"Hey...... Everywhere you go, you're in ruins!"

Ji Yuan seemed to be able to feel the heavy weight of these words, imagining the monstrous flood of three hundred years ago.

Even in the era when technology was so advanced in the previous life, with powerful ships and planes, and people with rapid response, the flood was still a terrible beast, let alone here three hundred years ago.

The old man patted the stone wall behind him and said to Ji Yuan:

"The stone wall here, it is because of the power of the cockroach breaking the ground was lifted out of the ground, it was the place where the cockroach lay on the edge of the secluded pool, after the fact, there are many rumors of walking Jiao in Desheng Mansion, after decades, the hole of the crypt has been flattened, the world is in turmoil, this stone wall and its name have been handed down. ”

Ji Yuan frowned and was silent for a while, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked.

"I have heard that there is an immortal mansion in Jizhou, called Yuhuai Mountain, when you go to Jiao, can there be people who cultivate immortals?"

As for what to do, it can naturally be to come to save people or stop the dragon, or if you have the ability, use a magic method to control the flood, or beat the original dragon to a sober level, even if it is to directly cut the dragon, but these plans are not explained.

The old man didn't know if he heard the meaning of Ji Yuan's words, but he just sighed and continued.

"After hibernation for hundreds of years, once free, the excitement of the cockroach can be imagined, and the wind and waves naturally attract immortal masters...... Sneer......"

The old man actually laughed out loud when he said this, which made Ji Yuan suddenly even more confused about the situation, you old gentleman, is it the immortal master who came from or does it have something to do with the former mantis?

"Those former immortal masters don't mention it, if you say that the one who impressed the cockroach the most at that time, it was the city god of Du Mingfu, the golden body shattered and hit angrily, which woke up the cockroach Jiao and led it to see the evil of Hongfeng......"

The old man's words paused slightly, and then continued.

"The difficulty of cultivation, the difficulty of the road, the courage to try to fight with one's own life, how sad, how respectable!"

Hearing this, Ji Yuan's speculation about the identity of this old man has a certain tendency, and he doesn't know if it is the main one.

"Then dare to ask the old gentleman, whether this dragon has successfully transformed into a dragon, and how will it act in the next three hundred years?"

"Naturally, it is done, the water flows into the river and swims in the sea, and then turns into a dragon at the end of a hundred years!"

Speaking the last sentence, the old man's words were slightly imposing, and then eased up.

"The success of the self-transformation dragon, for two hundred years, for Jizhou to travel clouds and rain, two hundred years of abundant rain without drought, but also more constraints on the rivers and rivers of the people......"

Speaking of this, the old man turned his head to look at Ji Yuan.

"What does this dragon think, sir, is it as it says in this foreign word?"

Even in today's state of mind, he still can't help but tremble in his heart, this is really an unavoidable existence, combined with the preface, he can almost be sure that the person sitting in front of him is either a dragon or a dragon!
