From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 6 Strange Toad [Please collect and recommend]

Seeing that the two-legged beast in front of it finally understood what it meant, the little squirrel squeaked happily and jumped out the door.

It was already evening. Baiyun Temple was located on the top of a mountain and there were very few tourists. Li Yang closed the gate and followed the squirrel out of curiosity.

Today is June 6rd. The weather forecast says that this June will be the hottest in Mei County in the past ten years. Fortunately, there are many shade trees on the mountains, so it is not so incredibly hot.

This was a wild mountain path that no one had passed by for a long time. Li Yang walked forward in a somewhat awkward manner on the rotten leaves in the forest, his blue cloth shorts and pants being scratched by the branches and spotted with spots.

Although the little squirrel was a little fat, it was extremely agile. Its little butt and fluffy tail twisted and turned as it shuttled through the woods. Li Yang almost couldn't keep up.

The more this happened, the more curious Li Yang became. After the man and the squirrel had been pulling each other for a long time, Li Yang suddenly stopped.

"Are we there yet?" He keenly felt that the cool breath in his lower abdomen was recovering faster.

After walking a few dozen steps, Li Yang came out of the woods and suddenly saw a bright future.

In front of him was a mountain peak.

Looking from afar, the lower half of the mountain is submerged in the clouds, and the base cannot be seen; the upper half is isolated in the sea of ​​clouds, like a mainstay in the ocean, and seems to be flying away with the rise and fall of the clouds.

Li Yang was attracted by the magnificent scene before him. He had been staying in Baiyun Temple for the past month and had no idea there was such a landscape on the mountain.

After arriving at the destination, the squirrel jumped behind a rock and called Li Yang over.

A man and a rat hid behind a big rock. The little squirrel cooed twice and pointed him in a direction.

Li Yang looked in the direction it pointed and found a small tree with small red fruits growing on the cliff where the mountain peak was immersed in the sea of ​​clouds.

The small tree was only about ten feet tall, with dark green branches and leaves, and looked no different from any ordinary plant.

When Li Yang was wondering, he found a white line in the bushes between the cliffs slowly swimming towards the small tree.

Li Yang saw that it looked familiar. Wasn't that the white snake that he had trained the night before?
No longer as ferocious and arrogant as last night, the white snake now seemed a bit sneaky, making no sound as it moved forward.

Just when Li Yang thought that the white snake was about to succeed, a black shadow jumped up from the bottom of the tree and rushed straight towards the white snake.

The black shadow was entangled with the white snake. Li Yang saw clearly and found that the black shadow was actually a strange toad with three legs.

Apart from having three legs, the creature looked no different from an ordinary toad in the farmland from a distance, except that there was a faint golden line on the brown skin on both sides and there were seven holes on its back.

Li Yang immediately recognized this guy's background and was completely shocked: "Three-legged golden toad, isn't this something from a fictional novel?"

Li Yang then recalled that when the old abbot was here, he often mentioned to him the legend of the golden toad on Baiyun Mountain, but before that he just listened to it as a story?!
The three-legged golden toad has a great origin. It has appeared in many ancient Chinese immortals and has a special status in Taoism. The seven holes on its back are mysteriously arranged according to the positions of the Big Dipper.

If Li Yang took a video to prove its existence and posted it online, a group of Taoist sects would immediately start arguing over it.

The struggle lasted for a long time. Snakes are the natural enemies of toads, but the white snake was almost being beaten. The seven holes on the back of the three-legged golden toad kept spraying unknown liquid. When the liquid touched the white snake, white smoke came out, and it kept wailing in pain.

Two minutes later, the white snake was defeated and ran away in shame.

After fighting the white snake away, the toad chirped twice in a demonstrative manner, the sound was like thunder, and then it retreated back to the roots of the small tree.

Now Li Yang didn't dare to despise the seemingly ordinary little tree anymore. Could the thing guarded by the famous Taoist three-legged golden toad be an ordinary thing?
At this time, the little squirrel looked at Li Yang, then looked at the tree slyly. Li Yang instantly understood what it meant.
So you want me to help you steal things?
It must be said that Li Yang was also somewhat moved. He suspected that the spiritual power of the little squirrel and the white snake was related to the small tree. Li Yang also found that the closer he was to the small tree, the faster his lower abdomen recovered. Now it was almost twice as fast as that of Baiyun Temple.

Good things are good things, but how to steal... no, how to take them becomes another problem. You, Golden Toad, are not easy to mess with at first glance. At this moment, Li Yang's skill Zi Ping Tui Ming is a specialty skill of the charlatan and cannot be used here. The Golden Light Curse is more about saving life.

He is just a sandbag now and has no offensive skills.

After careful consideration, Li Yang had no choice but to pull the little squirrel away first. This was human society. After it grew up a little, he didn't believe that he couldn't defeat a beast.

"Brother Squirrel, I'm not a coward. He is a strange beast. We are just weaklings, so we really can't defeat him."

"Cuckoo"

The squirrel landed on his shoulder with a plop, and was very dissatisfied with Li Yang's behavior of being cowardly before the fight.

"Give me some more time to grow up. Really, if I grow up a few more days, I can make that toad call me daddy!"

"Cuckoo"

At this time, the moon was as bright as day. When Li Yang reached the gate of the Taoist temple, he suddenly saw a figure in white clothes walking out of the shadow in front of the gate. Under the moonlight, he could see it very clearly, and the figure was getting closer and closer.

Li Yang was stunned at first, thinking that a thief had entered the temple. He subconsciously wanted to chant the Golden Light Mantra, but the man on the other side spoke first:

"Chi Yanhong, the 23rd generation disciple of the Tiantai Mountain School, has met Brother Baiyun Temple. Hearing that Baiyun Mountain has beautiful scenery, he wants to come and visit it for a few days."

When I got closer, I found out that she was a bright and youthful girl. She was wearing a white sportswear and carrying a mountaineering bag with a trekking pole hanging on the bag. She looked like a professional hiker.

Li Yang was about to speak when Chi Yanhong on the opposite side performed a strange courtesy.

She held the four fingers of her left hand with the palm of her right hand, and held the thumb of her right hand with the palm of her left hand. The tips of her thumbs touched the Laogong acupoints on the palm of the other hand, forming a Tai Chi diagram.

This is called Ziwu Jue, a greeting gesture between Taoists. It is much more professional and advanced than the bowing gesture that Li Yang mentioned when he was chatting with Wang Xin earlier. Even in major Taoist temples today, it is rare for Taoists to make this gesture when they meet.

Li Yang was frightened at the moment and almost didn't dare to respond. After a long while, he reacted and made a Ziwu Jue to return the greeting: "I am Li Yang, a disciple of the Baiyun Temple... So you are a fellow Taoist from Tiantai Mountain. Please come in first."

The squirrel had sneaked away without anyone noticing. Li Yang was leading the way. He looked calm on the surface, but he was complaining madly in his heart.

"Is this girl bored to death? If you want to travel, why don't you go to Emei Qingcheng next door? The ticket is only 80 yuan each. Why do you come to my humble house?"

Even though he pretends to be mysterious in front of Wang Xin and his sister, he is essentially an ordinary person, and the identity of the Taoist priest was a stolen account he had just stolen a month ago.

Now that a serious person from the Dharma sect had come to pay him a visit, he could only helplessly pretend to be a big shot and not dare to show any cowardice at all.

However, Chi Yanhong, who was following behind, was surprised. She did not expect that the unkempt guy in front of her could actually follow her Ziwu Jue.

In the past six months, she has visited many famous mountains and learned about Buddhist traditions, but the only people she could connect with were a few old practitioners who lived in seclusion.

This also gave Chi Yanhong some anticipation. He heard in the past two days that a brother and sister from Huayi Food Company had an adventure on Baiyun Mountain, which might not be groundless.

Maybe there will be some clue to what she has been looking for...
