Chapter 188: Dragon Tiger Mountain (3)
Zhang Shu was in front, Zhang Ziliang and Zhang Zihua were behind, but in a few minutes, they entered the private house, and behind the three of them, other uncles and brothers came in. Soon, the people arrived, and the quiet and narrow private room was crowded.
The situation on Longhu Mountain is similar to that of Yuqing Palace, there are many Taoists on the mountain, but most of them are ordinary Taoists who only chant sutras, and only those who are closest to Zhang Tianshi are really worthy of some cultivation.
A total of eleven people gathered here, including Zhang Shutong, and seven Taoists, including Zhang Ziliang and Zhang Zihua. Zhang Shu sat on the same chair and asked everyone else to find their own places to sit down before he spoke.
"A few days ago, Brother Zhangzhang went north to explore the imperial capital enchantment, but the news that Zihua found just now has lost the situation in the imperial capital, which means that there is a big accident in the imperial capital. ”
After Zhang Shutong said this, everyone looked at Zhang Zihua with a look of disbelief, and his face was hot and a little cramped, and he laughed at everyone twice.
"We all believe in the cultivation of the senior brother, he will definitely be fine, but what is the situation in the imperial capital now, let's still find a way to grasp it.
In addition, something happened in Shudi. Since the generation of the last generation of Heavenly Masters, our Longhu Mountain has been very concerned about Shudi, especially Jinguancheng, once something happens over there, our Longhu Mountain will definitely not stand idly by. ”
"What's going on over there in Jinguan City? Could it be that another zombie is hurting people?" asked a gray-haired man in his eighties next to him.
"It's not. It's a problem. Zhang Shutong pondered for a while, and after thinking about it, he spoke: "Recently, there are ordinary people in Jinguan City who have witnessed the big phoenix bird and the strange person riding the fierce beast beside the Jinjiang River twice. ”
"It's a cultivator in the Night World. ”
"Most likely a lich. In any case, we have to get to the bottom of it. Zhang Shutong said firmly.
"Then let's divide our soldiers into two ways?" asked another veteran of the younger generation, tentatively.
"Well, the soldiers are divided into two ways. Zhang Shutong nodded: "The situation in the imperial capital is related to the safety of the senior brother in charge, and the luck of Kyushu, so we must understand it as soon as possible." Zihua and Ziliang know more about this matter than we do, so I plan to send the two of them to the imperial capital, and Yannan City, where the Yuqing Palace is located, is not far from the emperor, if there is any situation, you two can also go to the Yuqing Palace to find the senior brothers there for help. When he said this, he turned his head to look at Zhang Ziliang and Zhang Zihua.
This green and one young two Taoists hurriedly bowed their heads and said yes.
Zhang Shutong told him uneasily: "If you really need to go to the Yuqing Palace for help, remember to be humble and polite to the senior brothers there, and don't be arrogant like in our Heavenly Master's Mansion." ”
"Remember. The two Taoists bowed their heads again.
Zhang Shutong thought about it, and then it was time to talk about Shudi: "As for the Jinguancheng side of Shudi, I think it's best for a few of us old guys to go." The danger is unknown, so don't let the children take the risk. ”
"That's very good. Several scholars nodded their heads one after another, and there was no objection.
"Uncles, we can go too. We are not afraid. ”
"Yes, Uncle Shutong, let's go, you still have to stay here to preside over the overall situation. ”
The four senior brothers of the sub-generation were all a little anxious, and sent the oldest and youngest out to do errands, but left themselves stuck in the middle and strong to guard the mansion, what is this like.
"We should be here to take the risk. ”
Zhang Shutong waved his hand with a serious expression, stopped their words, and said: "I know your thoughts, but now it's not who should go, who shouldn't go, but who is suitable to go." There is nothing wrong with such an arrangement. Although you are staying in the mansion, you can't relax, you have to take care of our Heavenly Master's Mansion, and you have to pay attention to the situation in the outside world at any time, if there is something wrong with either of us old guys and Ziliang Zihua, you must be ready to respond as soon as possible. ”
The four junior brothers looked at each other a few times, and knew that the book and the uncle had made up their minds and could not change it, so they had to bow down and kowtow.
Seeing that these people had obeyed their own arrangements, Zhang Shutong's face softened.
"That being the case. Zhang Shutong was about to wave his hand to disperse the crowd, when his eyes glanced out and saw that the sun was already in the middle of the day. He said, "Let's go our separate ways after having lunch first." ”
Everyone came out of the private hall and came to the dining hall, and saw that there happened to be a few light vegetarian foods on the table, so they sat down with other Taoists in the house and ate fasting.
Zhang Shutong took advantage of this gap and briefly explained a few words to those ordinary Taoists, only saying that there were a few blessing rituals outside recently that they needed to go out, and the affairs of the house were recently handed over to the four junior brothers to take care of, and they wanted everyone to practice carefully.
After the words were finished, the whole meal was eaten, and the dozens of ordinary Taoists were talking at the table, buzzing and discussing, to the effect that the Heavenly Master and his old man had not returned for a long time a few days ago, and now these elders and Taoists in the mansion are going out again, I am afraid that something has happened.
Although Zhang Shu's fellow practitioner is not as good as his brother, he is not weak, although he is more than 100 years old, he is not dazzled and deaf, and the whispers around him are all heard in his ears. The old man immediately pulled down his face, slapped it on the wooden table, and with a snap, the dishes jumped, and everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything more, and the dining hall was quiet again, leaving only the sound of stuffy heads pulling rice.
He glanced at the people who didn't dare to raise their heads, and said with a full sense of anger: "A cultivator should fast his body and mind and cleanse his mind, how can he speculate and be suspicious at the slightest change around him?
"Uncle Shi taught me a lesson. The crowd hurriedly confessed their mistake.
Zhang Shutong had a cold face, only ate a small half bowl of rice, then got up and walked out of the dining hall, and the other three scholars and uncles saw him go out, and they also put down the dishes and chopsticks one after another and went out.
By the time Zhang Ziliang and Zhang Zihua said goodbye to a few senior brothers and came to the courtyard, the four senior uncles had long since disappeared.
"Eighty percent of them have gone out of nowhere. Zhang Zihua looked envious.
"Senior brother, let's pack our bags and let's go. After Zhang Ziliang finished speaking, he went back to his house to clean up first.
Zhang Zihua also hurried back to the house to clean up.
