Chapter 26: Sea Spirit Lake Monster

After finishing the magic treasure stall, Su Yuanshan came to the stall selling talismans. One of the stall owners was a burly monk, only showing his head, his whole body wrapped in purple monk robes. Beside the stall was a small sign, on which was written: Guess the riddle below, and the price of the items on the stall will be halved.

Su Yuanshan's gaze fell on the small sign, and he saw a line of riddles written on it:

【Two feet, eight feet, walking sideways freely. Eyes facing the sky, worship me like the Buddha! What is this?】

He could not help but smile slightly, picked up a pen, and wrote three characters, placing them in front of the monk.

The monk looked down and his eyes lit up, and he could not help but laugh out loud.

"Good, good, good, ten years, finally someone guessed my true form, haha! This old man doesn't have to be wrapped in this stinking Buddha robe anymore, this old man is free, haha!"

He saw his monk robe begin to expand, and finally "Rip" it broke, revealing a giant crab, but the head was still the monk's head.

In the falling paper, the three characters were revealed. He saw it written: Xie Heshang!

After asking, Su Yuanshan learned that this crab spirit had been subdued by a Buddhist master because he had harmed one side before. Because Buddhism is compassionate, he did not kill him, but only restricted him. He could only show his original form when someone broke his true form, otherwise, he could only accumulate virtue and do good in the guise of a monk.

"Always eating vegetarian, always eating vegetarian, my mouth is almost bland, this time I can eat meat! Haha!"

The crab spirit was clearly in a great mood and said to Su Yuanshan.

"Pick any talismans here, no matter how many, this old man will give you half price!"

However, because the types of talismans on his stall were limited, and most were low-level water-system Daoist talismans, Su Yuanshan picked and picked and only picked twenty or so.

Su Yuanshan placed these talismans in front of the crab spirit.

"How much are these talismans?"

The crab spirit glanced at them and seemed a bit pained.

"Young master has extraordinary eyes, picking only the good ones. Forget it, you give four thousand spirit stones for these twenty or so!"

"Four thousand spirit stones? Two hundred spirit stones per piece."

Su Yuanshan could not help but be stunned. Although he knew that because talisman making is time-consuming and laborious, plus the influence of failure rate and materials, the price has always been high, but he did not expect it to be so expensive, and this was still the discounted price!

Is the talisman business so profitable?

Because he could not use the City God Mountain and River Seal at every turn, for fear that others would know he was the City God, he planned to expand his attack methods. Talismans became the first choice because they are simple and fast without consuming spiritual power and divine power.

"Fine, fine, take these four thousand spirit stones!"

At this time, only heard "Wo wo wo!"

Following the crowing of a wild rooster, the entire Small Luosha Sea Market actually began to shake.

Xie Heshang's face changed, and he slapped his bald head regretfully.

"Oh no, I was busy talking business with the young master and almost forgot this! The time is coming, this old man should also roll up the stall and go back, goodbye, goodbye!"

He saw him roll up the things on the stall, rolled on the ground, turned into a crab the size of a cart wheel, and crawled away sideways.

As the sky began to cool, the surrounding mist began to dissipate. Su Yuanshan then discovered that he was standing on the edge of a cliff, and the lake water in Yunmeng Lake actually rose by hundreds of meters, submerging the entire small island, leaving only a mountain tip tens of meters long and wide. On an ancient pine on the mountain tip, a wild chicken was crowing. Following its crowing, he saw the water surface begin to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally returning to its original appearance, and the entire small island was revealed again.

The cool lake wind blew slightly, accompanied by the morning light illuminating the entire lake surface, leaving a ground of crabs, green fish, and jumping raccoons, hedgehogs, as well as foxes and weasels, jumping and drilling into the jungle. Su Yuanshan knew that those were the mountain spirits and wild monsters that did not have time to leave.

The lively market was washed away by the waves without a trace, as if nothing had happened.

"Young master, oh no, immortal!"

Su Yuanshan was standing on the top of the mountain, lost in thought, when he was suddenly awakened by the shouting from afar. He saw a flat boat sailing from afar. It was the old fisherman who sent him last night. At this moment, he was shaking the oar anxiously, coming toward this side.

When Su Yuanshan walked down the mountain, he also got off the boat and landed on the shore. As soon as he landed, the old fisherman knelt down and kowtowed to Su Yuanshan.

"Living immortal, you are a living immortal!"

"This old man is blind and didn't recognize the true face of the immortal. I spoke wrongly and offended the immortal last night, I hope you will forgive me."

However, Su Yuanshan smiled slightly and reached out to help him up.

"Old man, you misunderstood. How am I a living immortal?"

The old fisherman was clearly very suspicious.

"If you are not a living immortal, how could you make the fish jump onto my boat automatically? If you are not an immortal, how could you spend the night safely on this small island? You must be a living immortal!"

"Haha!" Su Yuanshan laughed loudly, standing with his hands behind his back, letting the lake wind blow his snow-white clothes, and asked meaningfully.

"Has the old man ever entered a temple, burned incense, and worshipped a god?"

The old fisherman was stunned and nodded, saying.

"That is natural! We fishermen who make a living on the lake, who is not under the protection of the Water God?"

Su Yuanshan smiled and said.

"Since that is the case, then you must have seen the god statues in the temple, one by one divine and majestic, dignified and solemn. Which one looks like me, a mortal bone and flesh, ordinary and plain?"

The old fisherman seemed shaken.

"This...... but how to explain the catch? And how did you spend the whole night safely on the small island?"

Su Yuanshan smiled slightly.

"What's difficult about this? That's just a little trick of us cultivators, not worth mentioning!"

The old fisherman then suddenly realized.

"You are a cultivator? No wonder, no wonder!"

Paused and said again.

"I think the young master must have seen the danger of this island last night. Don't come again in the future, luck will not always favor the young master! Even if you are those cultivators outside the world, you shouldn't take risks easily!"

Su Yuanshan smiled slightly without refuting, and then he and the little white fox boarded the boat.

As the fisherman untied the mooring rope and received it into the boat cabin, shaking the boat oar, the small boat gradually went away, disappearing into the sky light on the sparkling lake surface.

The fisherman's high-pitched voice gradually rang out, the tone getting higher and higher.

【Clear water connects, reeds grow to the sky, looking at wild geese in the autumn bushes, where we meet, either immortal or Daoist, sitting quietly and lecturing on the Yellow Court......】

Sitting at the bow of the boat, looking at the singing fisherman, Su Yuanshan asked with a smile.

"Old man, this song is quite unique, I wonder who taught it?"

Only heard the old fisherman answer with a smile.

"It was taught by the old Daoist Lu of the Qingyun Temple on the mountain next door. He is also a cultivator with profound cultivation like the young master!"

"Oh? A cultivator?" Su Yuanshan could not help but look far away. He thought to himself, I didn't expect there to be such people as cultivators in my territory. ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
