Chapter Seventy-One: The plot is irreversible
Subsequently, the four-eyed Taoist who couldn't move his footsteps was helped into the house to rest by Jia Le.
And Master Yixiu also continued to chant the scriptures, but this time he didn't chant out loud, and secondly, he didn't hit the wooden fish, but just opened and closed his mouth and recited the scriptures silently. It seems that although it was said that it was rectified very badly, but in the end, it still accommodated the four-eyed Taoist.
With the sound of a rooster crowing, Xie Yan walked out of the door, looked at the rolling and lush mountain peaks in front of him, took a deep breath of pure natural and pollution-free air, and suddenly felt a burst of relaxation.
A voice came from behind him
"Uncle Shi, are you awake?" It turned out to be Jia Le, but I saw him look at Xie Yan with an honest face and asked, "Uncle Shi, are you hungry, I'll make you some breakfast." ”
"I'm not hungry, let's talk about it when your master recovers. Xie Yan shook his head, then looked at him and said, "You don't have to be polite to me, I'm not much older than you, there's no need to use honorific titles when you don't call me." ”
"Yes, Uncle Shi!" Jia Le agreed. Just as he was about to ask Xie Yan what he needed, a flock of birds flew up in the distance with a scream, as if he was frightened by something.
"Hmm, it seems that the Lord is here!" After speaking, Xie Yan calmly looked at the only mountain road.
"Uncle Shi, what is the master?" Jia Le looked at him in confusion.
Xie Yan didn't speak, just quietly looked at the mountain road. Seeing that his uncle didn't speak, Jia Le had no choice but to stand aside and wait.
It wasn't long before a shouting came from the edge of the woods, and a convoy came into view.
The sudden appearance of the convoy startled Jia Le, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at Xie Yan and said, "Uncle Shi, what is this!"
Xie Yan didn't speak, just looked at the slowly moving convoy, as if thinking about something.
And the four-eyed Taoist and Master Ichiyu, as well as Jingjing, who heard the movement, all ran out.
Several people came to Xie Yan's side, and the four-eyed Taoist asked, "Senior brother, what happened, who are they?"
As soon as Xie Yan was about to answer, he saw a Taoist priest walking at the front of the convoy wearing a Taoist robe and a gossip Taoist crown on his head, as if he had seen something, and his originally calm face suddenly showed a happy look.
Then I saw him running and shouting loudly, "Senior brother!"
As soon as the four-eyed Taoist heard this voice, he hurriedly greeted him, and the other people glanced at each other, and they also followed closely.
It wasn't until he walked into the four-eyed Taoist that he found out that it was the same disciple he hadn't seen for a long time!
saw someone salute him, and praised again with a smile on his face: "Senior brother!"
The four-eyed Taoist chief was also happy, and after returning the salute, he said with the same smile: "Senior brother!"
Jia Le next to him also saluted and shouted, "Uncle Shi!"
However, when the four-eyed Taoist saw him placing his saluting hand on his chest, he let out a heavy "um!" and then glared at him fiercely.
Jia Le looked at the master's eyes, and then saw him swing his saluting hand a few times, and instantly understood, and hurriedly raised the top of his head, and called him again aggrievedly: "Uncle!"
As mentioned above, the Maoshan faction attaches great importance to the etiquette of the teacher, and if there is a slight overstep, punishment is inevitable.
Fortunately, the people who came knew that this was the only disciple of the senior brother, and they didn't think too much, but they also returned the salute with a slight smile, but their hands were placed on their chests.
At this time, Master Yixiu walked close from behind several people, and after seeing the people clearly, he said with a look of surprise: "Oh?! It turned out to be the Thousand Crane Dao Chief! Amitabha!"
Xie Yan suddenly realized, it turned out to be him!
The Taoist priest named Qianhe Daoist was obviously familiar with Master Yixiu, but he didn't expect to meet here, and said with the same surprise: "Master Yixiu, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
After the two of them finished greeting, the four-eyed Taoist on the side looked at Qianhe Taoist and said, "Senior brother, I'll introduce you to a fellow disciple." After speaking, he pulled Xie Yan, who was standing in the back row, forward.
"This is Senior Brother Xie Yan. ”
"Senior Brother?" Qianhe Daoist looked puzzled, not understanding why the other party was so young and his senior brother called him junior brother?
Xie Yan also returned the salute, "Senior Brother Qianhe!"
Seeing the expression of his Thousand Crane Dao Chief, the four-eyed Daoist knew what the other party was thinking, so he explained: "Senior brother, don't look at him as young as this Senior Brother Xie Yan, but his cultivation is not much different from that of Senior Brother I, and it was by chance that I picked up a copy of Maoshan Secret Technique and practiced it by myself!"
"Oh!?" "Chizuru Dao Chang's heart jumped suddenly, he really didn't expect the other party to be so bullish, so young to have a foundation building late stage of cultivation, no wonder he couldn't sense the other party's cultivation. You must know that you are only in the Great Perfection realm of the Qi Refining Period. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh: "Senior brother is really a rare peerless genius in my Dao Sect!"
Just as a few people were talking happily, a shrill voice suddenly came that made people goosebumps when they heard it.
"Hey, what are you doing here!"
Daoist Qianhe hurriedly turned around and explained to the man who spoke: "Steward Wu, I'll borrow some glutinous rice from Senior Brother!"
"Glutinous rice?" After hearing this, the steward looked puzzled, and when he wanted to say something, he was interrupted by a child sitting in a four-person chariot.
"Wu Shilang, let's take a rest. ”
Who would have thought that Wu Shilang, who was still arrogant just now, immediately nodded and groveled: "Okay then, everyone rest!" After speaking, he motioned for everyone to sit down and rest.
And when he heard that the Thousand Crane Daoist needed glutinous rice, the four-eyed Taoist suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't say anything, just said to Jia Le: "Jia Le, take the glutinous rice to Uncle Shi." ”
"Hmm!" Knorr turned and ran inside.
At this time, everyone had time to look at the convoy carefully, but they didn't expect that there was a coffin at the end of the convoy, and the weight was not light, otherwise it would not have been pushed by four people.
Everyone was shocked, and the four-eyed Taoist felt more and more wrong in his heart, and then came to the coffin in a few arrows. After observing it carefully, he turned around and said with a serious face: "The copper horn and gold coffin are wrapped in an ink fountain net, is it inside?!"
The Thousand Crane Daoist also came to the coffin, and after hearing the words of the four-eyed Daoist, he nodded and said, "Yes, it's a zombie!"
The four-eyed Daoist leader jumped in his heart, and then asked, "Hmm!?Then why didn't you burn it?"
Qianhe Dao sighed and said, "This zombie is the royal family of the frontier, and it can't be burned! We have to transport it to Beijing as soon as possible, and wait for the emperor to send it." ”
The four-eyed Taoist was silent when he heard this, you must know that that era also paid attention to the "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher". Heaven and earth don't need to be explained, this gentleman naturally refers to the emperor, which means the eldest of the heavens, the second of the earth, and the third of the emperors. If you disobey the emperor's order, the emperor only needs to order your whole family to be killed, and the world is so big that there is no hiding place for you at all.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Master Yixiu hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Daoist Chizuru, why don't you dismantle the tent and let it absorb more sunlight and reduce corpse qi." ”
Daoist Chizuru thought about it carefully, yes, masculinity has fatal damage to zombies, nodded in agreement: "That's right, thank you for the master's advice!" Then he turned around and ordered: "East, south, west, north, dismantle the tent." ”
"Yes!" the four replied in unison. It turned out that these four people were the apprentices of Chizuru Daochang.
Xie Yan said secretly, the turning point of the plot is coming, but he didn't make the slightest move, because in his mind at this time, the warning sound of the system was ringing non-stop.
"Warning! Warning, please pay attention, please pay attention, if the host prevents the normal development of the plot, there will be unpredictable consequences, please be cautious in what you say and do!"
The corners of Xie Yan's mouth twitched, what is unpredictable, it is nothing more than two possibilities. Either take advantage of the noon sun to solve the zombies in front of the royal family, and then be hunted down by the royal family, or force them not to dismantle the tent, but it will arouse everyone's suspicion, and it will definitely have a great impact on their subsequent completion of the task.
Based on the above two points, Xie Yan could only silently watch the situation develop in the direction he least wanted. He shook his head, sighed in a low voice and said: "Alas, it's a little helpless, it's still not strong enough, if the strength is enough, it doesn't matter if it doesn't mutate, it's still cut!"
He shook his head but attracted everyone's attention, and the four-eyed Taoist leader asked, "Senior brother, but what did you find?"
Xie Yan did his best to obey the destiny of heaven, looked at the Thousand Crane Daoist and said solemnly: "Senior brother, I don't think the sky is right, and it may rain later." If the tent is torn down, and the rain will wash the ink off the ink fountain, then it will be a problem!"
The Thousand Crane Daoist looked up and found that the sun was still shining at this time, but there were some dark clouds floating in the sky, he thought for a while and said: "Senior brother, I know what you are worried about, but the weather is not as bad as I imagined now, and the woods in front of us are about to set up camp, and when the time comes, the coffin will be pushed into the tent, absolutely foolproof!"
As soon as Xie Yan heard it, he knew that the general trend of the plot could not be forcibly reversed, so he simply nodded, stood aside, and didn't say anything more.
However, after hearing his words, everyone present couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in their hearts, just when the four-eyed Taoist disregarded his old friend's face and dissuaded him from tearing down the tent. When the black squire saw that they had dismantled the tent, he hurriedly asked in shock, "Hey, why did you tear down the tent?"
Originally, in the original play, the four-eyed Taoist came to answer this question, and then was scolded back by Wu Shilang. It's just because of Xie Yan's words that he has no desire to speak.
However, the Taoist leader of Qianhe on the side hurriedly ran forward and explained: "Oh! ”
"That's it, let's tear it down!" Although Wu Shilang didn't understand what it meant, all he needed was an explanation, an explanation that his master could hear. As for whether he understands this explanation himself or not, it doesn't matter.
