Chapter 182: New Law

"Thank you for the help from fellow Daoist Lingquan. It helped me get rid of my old illness."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tai looked the man up and down and asked, "Old illness? You don't look like you have any problem!"

"Don't think that I look fine now. In fact, I have been ill for a while. This time I came back to use my past connections with both sides of the strait to seek a little luck and drive away the pain in my body."

"Oh? Can you still seek the luck of this place? Can you tell me about it? I'm a little curious, what are you going to do next?"

Chu Tai asked casually. When he said this, he did not look at the man, but looked at the mountains and rivers on both sides of the river.

After leaving Chu, the meaning of the [Mountain and River] law was spreading around little by little as Chu Tai observed it, allowing Chu Tai to gradually grasp the breath of this land and feel more clearly the connection between this land and the trackers.

At this moment, it seems that Chu Tai is asking the man, but in fact it is also this landscape that is asking the former tracker.

The man also looked at the two banks, where there were long paths. It was a path that generations of trackers had walked out between the rocks on both sides, bending their bodies, carrying stiff ropes, and limping forward.

It is precisely because of the pioneering efforts of our ancestors that today's trackers only need to follow the path left by their ancestors, knowing where to bend down and where to grab rocks, and step by step, they can always reach the end and earn their hard-earned money.

These roads, which were trampled out step by step, are also one of the core elements of the operation of the entire mountain and water formation.

Wisps of breath will flow between mountains and rivers as the boat trackers move back and forth, bringing with them the breath of humanity and eroding the spiritual meaning of mountains and rivers.

The trend of gradually integrating the mountains, rivers and people here is also the basis for the blessing of the entire landscape and carp luck.

The man pointed to the lead and did not answer Chu Tai's question right away, but spoke in a slightly nostalgic tone.

"I remember that my father once took me along this path. Later, at the mountain gate, the elders told me that this was one of the hubs for the operation of the entire mountain and water. I was injured in an accident, but I have a connection with this mountain and water. As long as I walk along this path once, I can use the mountain and water to repair most of it."

When the word "accident" was mentioned, a hint of sarcasm appeared on the man's face.

He whispered, "Do they think I don't know? It's no accident. The fish is just fat and can be steamed or braised."

"I was lucky. I still had some fish bones left, which saved my life. They wanted to put the fish bones back into the water to see if they could grow some flesh and blood again."

The monk raised his hand and looked at the moon rising higher in the sky: "I will not hide it from you. If my illness had been hopeless before, I would choose to stay here and wait for the next opportunity to seize a little bit of luck here and continue my cultivation. But now..."

The man lowered his head and looked at his hands. He recalled the shouts from both sides during the previous practice. He shook his head and said, "Now, it is not necessary. I have already jumped out. Why should I take away their hope?"

"Is that all?"

Chu Tai still didn't look at the man. The shadows of the mountains and rivers on both sides of his eyes became more and more solid, and the sun and the moon began to rotate inside.

"If I don't get my luck back, I probably won't be able to return to the mountain gate. But it's okay this way. I can stay here to teach some disciples. When the next lucky person is born, he or she should be luckier than me."

Chu Tai looked at the man only at this time. The strange vision in his pupils was obscured by spiritual light, as if he had not restrained his magic power when he was exploring the surrounding mountains and rivers.

He pretended to be surprised and said, "From what you said before, your sect knows that a lucky person has been born here. How do you plan to save the child who has not yet appeared?" "Hehe!"

The man smiled. He didn't know why he trusted Chu Tai so much. They had only met for a short time, but he was willing to tell him his biggest plan for the future, and even some details about his sect.

"Don't be fooled by how powerful I have been talking about our sect. In fact, the founder of my lineage was only a sixth-rank immortal, and he was barely able to achieve enlightenment. Otherwise, they wouldn't have set their sights on me. They don't have any means to find the lucky guy."

The man looked at the roads on both sides again, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"The most they can do is to fly back and forth between the two banks regularly every year to detect the fate of the trackers, or to ask people to sacrifice their own children. As for me, I have enough time to come every day. I just need to find the lucky one before them."

"There is no exact pattern for the birth of a lucky person. It can be ten years, twenty years, or even twenty-seven years. After I find him, I have at least two or three years to teach him magic or take him away from this land."

Chu Tai looked at the man in front of him and could feel that there was something in his mind that he had not told him.

Since this man was sent back as a survivor of the experiment, he must have some tricks up his sleeve to see if he can continue his fate again.

After accepting a lucky person, he could simply teach him something and send him away, then say that he had already devoured the child and would face the subsequent punishment himself, buying time for the child.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Chu Tai saw a possibility in the "fate", and this possibility gave rise to many wonderful changes.

What Chu Tai cares about most is that among these changes, there is one that actually has the potential to integrate the destiny of this place, completely open up the river channel, and allow the boatmen on both sides to obtain fertile land, thus becoming the future of farmers.

The prerequisite for this change is Chu Tai's further assistance.

"It's really a mysterious fate, a coincidence."

Looking at what he had done in the deduction of "fate", Chu Tai recalled the several skills he had previously calculated and planned to teach to the boatmen. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he opened his mouth to recite a piece of mental method.

The man didn't care at first, but after listening for a while, he immediately found that this method had a high degree of overlap with the method of boat trackers he had learned in the past, and was more complete.

He was so shocked that he looked at Chu Tai with a strange expression, but soon he heard Chu Tai recite the second part of the mental method.

This paragraph has many overlaps with the first paragraph, but there are certain differences in the subtleties and specific methods of moving the body. It is quite effective in health preservation and breathing regulation, which is suitable for his situation.

The man's eyes when he looked at Chu Tai changed completely. He heard the third part of the mental method.

This section includes some more attacking and swimming methods than the original method, making it more adaptable to life on both sides of the strait.

The most amazing thing is that after the man wrote down the three mental methods, he found that these three methods complemented each other.

"Senior...Senior..."

The man spoke to Chu Tai again, his voice already trembling.
