Chapter 6: The Old Priest
Moreover, there was a thing in Guansu Port that even mortals could drive talismans, which really made Fang Yan curious about this, and Fang Yan knew that this was a world of immortal cultivation that was completely different from Feng'an Continent.
Fang Yan wore a kind smile along the way, laughing with the thin man and the black man, and at the same time thought silently in his heart.
After that, Fang Yan and the two of them transported the caught sea fish to the town and sold the sea fish to get some silver money.
Kuroko takes the money to a tavern.
"Shopkeeper, a jar of bamboo leaves!"
Kuroko laughed.
"Okay!"
The shopkeeper quickly took out the wine, and after paying for the wine, Fang Yan and Heizi walked out of the tavern.
"Kuroko, Lord Priest really didn't hurt you in vain!"
The thin man laughed.
Kuroko glanced at the thin man and said, "Na, this is yours!"
The thin man was not polite, took the copper coin given by the sunspot, and put it in his arms.
After that, Kuroko went to buy a cotton cloth again, and Fang Yan knew that this was Kuroko's filial piety to her grandmother.
When they returned to the village, it was getting dark, and the thin man went back to his house.
Kuroko's grandmother felt sorry for Kuroko's indiscriminate spending, but she accepted the cotton cloth with a smile, and said that she would make a dress for Kuroko.
After Fang Yan had dinner with Heizi, Heizi still remembered that Fang Yan was going to see the priest, so after saying hello to the old woman, he carried the bottle of bamboo leaf green, took the torch and walked towards the priest's house.
This time, the priest was at home.
After Kuroko gently slammed the door a few times, the door opened, and he saw an old man with gray hair in front of him, and the old man's face was covered with wind and frost.
Behind the old man stood a middle-aged man with a simple face, and looking at his respectful appearance towards the old priest, he thought that he should be the old priest's servant.
"Kuroko!"
The old man spoke.
"Priestess, here you go!"
The old priest's cheeks, which were furrowed like bark, smiled when he saw the wine jar in Kuroko's hand.
Seeing this, the middle-aged servant respectfully stepped forward and took the bamboo leaf green brought by Kuroko.
Only then did Heizi bow respectfully and said, "This is Master Fang, who fled to our village. ”
Hearing this, the old priest looked at Fang Yan, and Fang Yan also looked at the old priest with clear eyes, and was surprised that the old priest was actually a monk in the middle stage of spiritual cultivation.
Of course, with the cultivation of the old priest in the middle stage of the cultivation of the spirit, it is impossible to see Fang Yan's cultivation, after all, the Thousand Faces and Thousand Shadows Diagram is very extraordinary.
Therefore, in his opinion, Fang Yan was just an ordinary mortal.
However, the old priest understood what Heizi meant, and wanted to let himself check Fang Yan's identity to see if Fang Yan was a spy sent by other villages.
Because something similar has happened before.
The old priest released his divine sense, and after sweeping Fang Yan's body, he didn't see anything wrong.
After thinking about it, he turned around and returned to the room, and took out a red lacquer box, Fang Yan knew in his heart that this box might not contain ordinary things.
I saw that the old priest gently opened the box, and there was a worn-out talisman inside, which seemed to be some years old, and there were patterns painted on it that Fang Yan couldn't understand.
After the old priest silently recited a few words of mantra in his mouth, he pointed a little, and suddenly the talisman flew out of the box, and suddenly floated in the air, emitting a faint orange halo, Fang Yan was irradiated by this halo, and faintly felt like being peeped at.
But obviously, this talisman was not too high-grade talisman, Fang Yan just had a feeling of being peeped at, not the feeling of being frighteningly seen through.
Fang Yan had already experienced this feeling too many times, so it was not strange, and there was no unusual performance.
After a few breaths, the light on the talisman dimmed, and the old priest grabbed the falling talisman and put it in the box.
"Master Fang, I'm offended. ”
The old priest's originally tense expression relaxed, and it seemed that after the test of the talisman, he had let down his vigilance against Fang Yan.
Fang Yan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care, but Heizi said at this time: "Master Fang, it's like this......"
It turned out that long ago, there was a woman who also claimed to be a refugee and lived in this fishing village, and the villagers kindly received her and gave her food and clothing, but they didn't expect that this woman was actually a spy in another village.
As for what the woman did later, Kuroko was about to say something about it, but the old priest coughed a few times and interrupted Kuroko.
Kuroko saw the old priest's warning eyes, so he didn't say any more.
Fang Yan was not easy to ask, but it was also foreseeable that this woman had done something unfavorable to the village, which made the villagers and the old priest so wary of Fang Yan.
The old priest spoke, "I don't know what Master Fang's plans are?"
And Heizi stared at Fang Yan nervously, in getting along with Fang Yan, Heizi already knew that Fang Yan was indeed a very knowledgeable person, and he really hoped that Fang Yan could take the initiative to stay in the village and teach the villagers knowledge.
Fang Yan naturally knew Heizi's thoughts, but Fang Yan's heart was filled with the Avenue of Eternal Life, so he naturally didn't want to live in seclusion in a small fishing village.
Fang Yan thought for a while and said, "I fled with my friends, and now I don't know where my friends are.
However, I made an agreement with him that if we were separated, we would wait for each other in a prosperous place, and then we could also find an errand such as writing letters in that place. ”
Fang Yan explained.
Hearing this, the old priest nodded and said, "If Master Fang doesn't dislike it, then let's live in the village, although our small fishing village is remote, it is safe."
In a few days, the old man will go out, and he can take Master Fang for a ride. ”
After Fang Yan nodded, he bowed and thanked the old priest, and when Heizi saw that Fang Yan was going to leave and refused to stay in the village, his face showed disappointment.
Seeing this, the old priest smiled helplessly and said to Kuroko: "Kuroko, everyone has their own ambitions, haven't you always hoped to be able to get out of the village?"
Kuroko listened to the old priest's words, his face was thoughtful, and the look of disappointment gradually disappeared, replaced by a resolute look, and said to the old priest: "Lord Priest, please rest assured, I will definitely go out of the village." ”
The old priest stroked his beard and nodded with a smile of satisfaction.
Seeing this, Fang Yan's eyes flashed slightly.
"If Master Fang doesn't dislike it, let's stay at the old man's house for a few days, so as not to make the sunspot on the floor. ”
The old priest said again.
Come to think of it, the old priest also knows the situation of the Kuroko family, so he will say so.
After Fang Yan thanked him, he responded to the matter with a smile.
Kuroko chatted with the old priest a few more times before taking his leave and leaving.
"Master Fang, please!"
The old priest invited Fang Yan into the hall, there were four stone benches and a stone table in the hall, after the old priest and Fang Yan sat down, the middle-aged servant brought two cups of hot tea before and after, and then cleverly withdrew.
Fang Yan quietly used his divine sense to probe the tea in front of him, and after seeing that he had not touched any hands and feet, he took a sip at the old priest's signal, and as soon as he put down the teacup, the old priest spoke.
