Crossing the Extreme Rampage

morning.

in town.

"Crackling..." Outside the shop, delicious fish were jumping around in the big wooden basin, splashing water one after another.

It quickly attracted the attention of the guests.

Guest A glanced curiously, "Boss, what are you doing with this fish here?"

Xu Zhengyi handed the steamed stuffed bun to customer A, squinted his eyes and smiled, "Of course it's for sale, it's definitely not there to bask in the sun, right?"

This humorous answer made everyone laugh.

Guest A took the bun and walked over a little bit, "Then how do you sell this fish?"

Xu Zhengyi replied while he was busy, "The big one sells for 24 coins, and the small one sells for [-] coins. You can pick whatever fish you want."

Everyone was surprised, "It's so good? Don't you need to weigh it?"

"Look, we're here to weigh the fish, who will get you the buns, right?"

"Little boss, you are so cute."

Xu Zhengyi took the opportunity to show off his cuteness again, "If everyone thinks I'm cute, uncles and aunts who like to eat fish, please hold the stage."

"Okay, okay, I'll pick one later."

"I'll pick one too."

Twenty or so fish were sold out in just a few conversations with Xu Zhengyi's high EQ.

After the buns were sold out, Xu Zhengfeng went to empty out the water in the wooden basin and brought it back to the shop, "Zhengyi, your method is not bad."

Xu Zhengyi was very proud, "Of course, big brother, you can discuss anything with me in the future, I can still come up with ideas, maybe sometimes the ideas are pretty good."

This kid, the tail behind him is probably up to the sky, "Then let me ask you a question now."

"Go ahead."

Xu Zhengfeng gave Xu Zhengyi a look of acceptance, "Where do you think Xu Bao went?"

Xu Zhengyi was stunned, and then realized, "Brother, this question is so difficult that I'm confused."

Xu Zhengfeng turned around and looked at him, "So don't talk big, no matter how strong a person is, there are things that he can't accomplish."

"Got it, big brother."

"Well, pack up, let's go tell your brother Ming and go back to the village."

"it is good."

……

Xujiacun.

The whole village has become a mess, accompanied by a tense and sad atmosphere.

After a new round of tracing that turned the village upside down, everyone gathered by the ancient well in despondency.

After returning to the village, the three brothers of the Xu family also joined in the hunt, but they still found nothing.

The villagers frowned and said, "This Xu Bao seems to have disappeared out of thin air, did he encounter a ghost?"

Villager Er gave him a blank look, "Don't talk nonsense, there are no ghosts in this world, even if there are ghosts, after eating the meat, the bones, blood, and clothes must be left behind, right?"

The third villager thought for a while and said, "There are mountains near our village, could they just be taken away by wild beasts?"

Villager No. [-] is a hunter, "I've never seen a wild animal go down the mountain, and there is no shortage of food in the mountain at this time, so it won't run down the mountain."

The village head protested that everyone's words were getting more and more outrageous, and he also frowned, "Everyone, don't talk nonsense, you have searched in the village, and there are also outside the village. Everyone go to find outside the village separately."

There was no other way but to continue searching.

……

out of town.

Gyro Temple.

Tang Yuanming looked at the person who was planning to travel far away with a burden on his back, and smiled and teased, "It seems that I came at a good time."

Yang Zigao was now wearing an ordinary yellow monk's robe. He was tall and tall, even in plain clothes, his elegance could not be concealed. His resolute face carried the calmness of an eminent monk. Hearing the voice, he looked towards him, "The almsgiver is fine. If you don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall, please speak up if you have something to say.”

Tang Yuanming raised his eyebrows slightly, "I want to ask you to do me a favor."

"Please say."

"It's hard to say, how about talking while walking?"

Yang Zigao didn't turn his head back, feeling a sense of contentment, he walked up to Tang Yuanming, "Okay, let's go."

"This way, please."

Yang Zigao nodded.

……

Xujiacun.

Yang Zigao stood at the entrance of the village, looked around, "Your village is beautiful, it's a good place."

Tang Yuanming smiled slightly, "That's ridiculous, please come in."

"it is good."

After not walking far, I met villagers coming back from outside the village. All of them looked downcast, but they respected the master very much. When they passed by, they all stopped and bowed to the master with palms together.

Yang Zigao returned the gifts one by one.

After the villagers left, Tang Yuanming continued to lead Yang Zigao towards home, "Looking at it like this, I probably haven't found it yet."

In fact, everyone not only searched outside the village, but also salvaged the river, but Xu Bao disappeared as if he disappeared out of thin air.

Yang Zigao was still very calm, clasped his palms together and said, "Everything has its own destiny."

Tang Yuanming smiled slightly, "Indeed, please."

Yang Zigao put his luggage at Tang Yuanming's house, and then followed him out.

When passing by the yard, Tang Yuanming saw two lynx lying there sleeping, their bodies glowing with golden light, similar to the green mist in the well, suddenly had an idea, went over, and nodded their heads with his index finger.

Two round and bright eyes opened immediately, what's wrong?Too bad, those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. They have already learned Xu Zhengyu's way of speaking.

Tang Yuanming scratched the tops of the two heads, "I heard that you have a very keen sense of smell, help me find someone."

The two nodded.

Tang Yuanming is very rare, it turns out that he really understands his words, divine beast!

Yang Zigao looked at it strangely, he couldn't see the golden light that Tang Yuanming could see, but he simply thought that these two lynx were not simple, "Where did you bring them back?"

"I met them when I went to the mountains to collect herbs. I was injured and brought them back to heal them. Now I guess they are used to living and don't want to leave." This is a divine beast. Don't leave, it's better to keep the town house.

Yang Zigao nodded and did not speak.

Tang Yuanming took Yang Zigao and two lynxes to Xu Bao's house.

Xu Bao's family was full of grief, his mother and grandma had passed out from crying, his grandfather was watching them at home, and Xu Yang was still looking for someone outside.

When Grandpa saw Tang Yuanming and a monk coming to the house, he immediately greeted him, "Master, Yuanming." The whole person was very polite.

Tang Yuanming said bluntly, "We are here to find Xu Bao for you, and now we need a piece of Xu Bao's clothes."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa immediately ran into the house and brought out a piece of Xu Bao's clothes without even asking any more questions.

Tang Yuanming took it and gave it to the two lynxes to smell it, "Is it all right?"

The two blinked, and they couldn't nod in front of outsiders, or they would be regarded as monsters.

Tang Yuanming somehow understood what they said, "Lead the way."

Yang Zigao is getting more and more curious, he is cute and can find someone, not bad.

It seems that Tang Yuanming is really not an ordinary person, he is probably an expert living in seclusion in this mountain village.

He once heard from his master that there may be reclusive people in every place. Such tall people have the same appearance as ordinary people, but their abilities are definitely different. Not only that, but they can also maintain a youthful face. In fact, I don't know how old I really am.

Unknowingly, Tang Yuanming's image in Yang Zigao's heart has changed from an ordinary person to a hermit to a white-haired tall man.

Two lynxes ran in front, Tang Yuanming and Yang Zigao followed behind, Grandpa couldn't help his anxious heart, so he also followed.

As a result, everyone was taken to the ancient well.

Tang Yuanming looked at the green mist coming out of the mouth of the ancient well, and it seemed that the truth was still here, "Are you sure?"

The two lynx stretched out their two front paws to rest on the mouth of the ancient well, and pointed to the ancient well vaguely. This is where Xu Bao's last breath was, that's right.

Tang Yuanming believed in his own gods and beasts, but if he really fell into the ancient well, it would take a day and a night, why didn't he float up, could it be that he was caught by something underneath?

Yang Zigao walked to Tang Yuanming's side and looked into the well, "This ancient well is full of vitality, and there is no foul air."

Tang Yuanming turned his face to look at him, and said firmly, "I believe them."

Yang Zigao stared at Tang Yuanming for a while, "Okay, I understand."

Then he walked to his grandfather, "Give me Xu Bao's birthday horoscope, and I will use it to summon the soul."

Grandpa immediately burst into tears. Does calling back the soul mean that the grandson is dead?

"Don't think too much about it. Your grandson may not be dead. I'm just trying. If I can't summon the soul, doesn't it mean that he is not dead? This is also a disguised form to determine his life and death, understand?"

Yang Zi's high and low voice was comforting, and hearing it in his grandfather's ears, he couldn't help raising a glimmer of hope, and immediately announced his birthday.

Yang Zigao nodded, "I need these things now, Soul-calling, bells, mirrors, clothes, combs, chopsticks, ginger soup, bridges, bridging cloth, some things I have, some don't, I need you to help me prepare them, May I?"

Grandpa quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, master, please tell me what you need, and I will prepare it immediately."

"Mirror, comb, chopsticks, ginger soup, just these four things, get ready before midnight, and I will start making it at midnight."

"Okay, I've made a note, I've made a note."

Tang Yuanming went to the side, folded his arms and lowered his head to think. There were many incredible things, but he had never seen anything like this. Why didn't Xu Bao float up after falling into the ancient well?

Also, why is everyone in Xu Bao's family covered in green mist? What's the reason for this?

Yang Zigao walked to Tang Yuanming's side, looked up at the sky, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about the reason for Xu Bao's mysterious disappearance."

Yang Zigao felt that Tang Yuanming's thinking was very strange, "Shouldn't you be wondering if he is in the ancient well now? Why are you wondering why he disappeared?"

Tang Yuanming glanced at him, "Because I think that as long as I understand why he disappeared, I can know why he fell into the ancient well."

Yang Zigao looked back at the knee-high mouth of the well, it seemed quite difficult to fall in, "Isn't it a mistake?"

Tang Yuanming seemed to have thought of something, and went to the well and looked down. The mouth of the well is not very big, and it can accommodate a grown man to pass through. I don't know, pointing to a location, "Do you see traces of shoes slipping there?"
