Chapter Seventy-Seven: Adapting to the Situation
After clearing the demons in the hall, Mengzi stood on the square of Nuoda, bathing in the autumn sunshine, breathing the sweet air in the green mountains, and looking at the green mountains and forests in the distance. After this battle, these most ordinary and ordinary things in front of him on weekdays made Mengzi feel cherished and warmer.
The monks in the temple lined up in seven or eight rows on the square, and more than a dozen people were scattered around, some were sitting, some were standing, and some were lying on the branches of the trees and napping. A little boy with pigtails jumped up in front of Brother Jiu, tiptoed and whispered a few words to Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu glanced at the young man who was standing in front of the main hall, squinting and stunned, thought about it, and walked over.
"Lord Shenjun!" Brother Jiu didn't dare to abolish the number of courtesies in front of his subordinates, and stood still a long distance from Mengzi, and shouted softly.
"My lord, the monks in the temple are all here, and the pilgrims who are still alive in the temple are also placed in the front hall, and the young man is still in a daze. Brother Jiu saw that the fierce son turned around, and then he made the situation in the temple clear one by one.
Mengzi came out of his senses, and when he turned around, his expression had returned to normal, waved his hand, and did not let the ninth brother follow, and walked towards the main hall alone.
Wuchenzi has been standing here for a long time, and as the senior brother of Mingyue Mountain, he has been working hard. Mingyue Mountain is a gathering place for new disciples in the Sword Peak, these disciples are uneven, some are talented and intelligent, and some are stupid, but Mingyue monks are no different from them, the same careful teaching, although few of these disciples will stay in Mingyue Mountain in the future.
Wuchenzi did not have outstanding qualifications when he entered, and his family background was poor, unlike those children of large families who had laid a solid foundation before entering. Until now, Wuchenzi still remembers the despair when he failed the assessment and was about to be dismissed from the sect, if there was no teacher, he would now at most return to his hometown to find an errand in the county government or the city guard, although he can live, but he has failed to live up to his parents' expectations.
At the beginning, it was the teacher who kept him despite public opinion, in fact, most of the personal disciples of Mingyue Mountain suffered the same as him, so although Mingyue Mountain is not the strongest in the Sword Peak, it is the place where the most group and family affection can be felt.
Originally, the teacher was going to come in person on this errand, but Wuchenzi knew that the situation in the sect was not optimistic, although Jian Tiannan had been in retreat in the lonely sword peak all the year round, in fact, he was secretly manipulating everything, and since he found out that Su Ximei was carrying the Red Fire Sword a few days ago, the undercurrent in the sect was even more turbulent. If the teacher leaves, the Great Elder is afraid that he will not be able to support himself.
This errand was won by Wuchenzi on his own initiative, he knew the importance of this batch of red fire mines to the sect and to the Great Elder, and he wanted to share his worries for the teacher. But now? If it weren't for the boy who raised scorpions today, not to mention those dead soldiers, even I don't know if I would be able to stand here. Now the dead soldiers that the teacher has spent a lot of effort to cultivate are because of their arrogance, and they lost more than half of them in the first battle, and more importantly, the matter of the Red Fire Sword can no longer be hidden. He didn't believe that with that young man's ability, he would be a lonely and unknown person, and he just came to Shangxiang today, and accidentally encountered this incident.
What should I do?Wuchenzi looked at the red fire swords scattered all over the place, and kept thinking in his heart, he was eager to find a way to make up for it.
Mengzi walked into the main hall, leaned down and picked up a long sword and took a closer look, of course this sword Mengzi knew, and asked Liu Villa, Lei Tianfeng and Jian Tiannan were holding such a sword to accuse the Great Elder of Sword Peak, Bai Shen. Since those who don't want to die are also holding such long swords, they naturally have nothing to do with the white god. Mengzi has experienced a lot in Lantai in the past six months, although Bai Shen didn't admit anything at the beginning, but what are the identities of Jian Tiannan and Lei Tianfeng? What is the identity of Bai Shen? How could he speak with such a sword without evidence?
Gently flicking the long sword, although Mengzi didn't know how to refine the weapon, he could also see that this was a good sword, and tried to infuse a trace of aura, and the long sword immediately seemed to come to life, becoming red like fire, like a burning flame, and with a slight stroke to the ground, the green bricks of the water mill cracked a gap silently.
"Good sword!" Mengzi admired, glancing at the young man staring at the long sword, as if talking to himself, "Such a good sword is not available anywhere, let alone so many? I don't know who you are or where you come from, just today to deal with these demons, we can be regarded as friends." "Wu Jiu Literature
The young man didn't speak, and Mengzi was not in a hurry, he knew that this young man could serve so many dead soldiers, and he could get such a good sword, how many places could there be in the entire Qingshan? No need to ask, it was either the military or the sect, but Mengzi didn't plan to ask about these now, the top priority was to find the lost goods. If the enemy can sink more than ten large ships of more than 5,000 catties, the nearly 100 shipwrights are afraid that they will be more than lucky, no matter what this cargo is, it must be very important, at least very important to the enemy. Since this young man can catch up here, even if he is not the owner of the goods, he must be related to the owner of the goods. Mengzi hoped to get his cooperation, so he naturally wanted to dispel the doubts in the young man's heart. He didn't think that the people who could make so many dead soldiers succumb to the cruel methods of Lantai, let alone the cruel methods used against the enemy, at least until now, the fierce son had not regarded the young man as an enemy.
"You also know that those demons and monsters on the other side of the mountain have never given up on us, and now Yunping Pass has changed its commander, although it is still in our hands, but with a Su Ximei, who dares to guarantee that there will not be a second one? The demons here look very much like they are from the Demon Mountain, I have searched the entire temple, and I have not seen a trace of that batch of ores, I think you don't want these ores to fall into the hands of those demons. Mengzi stared at the young man, and when he mentioned Yunping Pass, the young man's expression was obviously a little nervous, and he was a little angry, although it was fleeting, but Mengzi's cultivation is no longer what it used to be, and such a subtle change could not escape Mengzi's eyes.
It's Jian Feng again, Mengzi's heart is a little tight, Jian Feng seems to be getting more and more uncalm recently, at this time when the undercurrent is turbulent, if something happens to this behemoth, the entire Qingshan will make waves, it seems that Jian Tiannan and Lei Tianfeng are not without purpose, and they should report this matter as soon as possible.
Although he thought so in his heart, Mengzi's expression did not change in the slightest, and the young man was already moved, and he had to strike while the iron was hot.
"The wounded pilgrims here have all been placed in the front hall, and I have sent someone down the mountain to find Lang Zhong to treat their wounds, and if you wish, these people under my command, including myself, can be at your disposal. If you can recover that batch of ores, I can act as if nothing happened today. Mengzi really didn't lie to him when he said these words, these demons sneaked into the vicinity of Shanyang and naturally had a plan, if there was no young man, he really might not have noticed. After all, few people would have thought that a group of sub-demons and monsters would hide in a temple where incense is flourishing, and in such a secret way.
Wuchenzi is not the first day to go down the mountain to practice, although the young man in front of him is only a teenager, but both his cultivation and bearing are above himself, but he is in a daze, and he has arranged things inside and out in an orderly manner, listening to his tone, although it is only a few plain words, but it exudes the momentum of life and death. In Qingshan, apart from Jianfeng, who else can have such confidence to speak, except for the military and the people in the yamen?
Although he never said a word from beginning to end, but Wuchenzi's heart is not calm, from childhood to adulthood, except for his parents and teachers, Wuchenzi asked himself if he didn't owe anyone's affection, but today not only was he rescued by the boy, but now those brothers and sisters under him have also been rescued by the boy, although the boy naturally has his purpose, but Wuchenzi is proud in his heart, if he wants to treat this as if none of this has happened, he can't do it anyway.
Thinking in my heart that I had made a big mistake, I couldn't afford to be unjust because I was trapped in the teacher's injustice, and now that I was short of manpower, I should owe the boy another favor, and wait until the goods were recovered, and it would be a big deal to give this life to the young man to pay off the debt.
Brother Jiu waited outside the hall, his heart was not steady, although his own adults had cultivated to make great progress, but his ability was all above the soul, and when it came to martial arts, it was still commonplace. The identity of the young man is unknown, but looking at the people under him, he has been well-informed over the years, but he has never seen such a fateful person, what if that young man is not good for adults? The ninth brother thought in his heart, and beckoned behind him, if the adults have not come out after waiting for a stick of incense, even if they are punished desperately, they will take their brothers to break into the hall.
Seeing that a stick of incense was about to burn out, Brother Jiu waved his hand and was about to break in with someone, but he saw two people coming out of the tall hall door, it was his own adult and the young man who could drive Mingyue. Brother Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, but he admired the adults even more in his heart, in such a short time, he didn't hear any movement of fighting, and looked at the young man's expression, as if he voluntarily followed the adults out.
"Have General Jian's men arrived?" As soon as Anye and Yin Pavilion were under the rule of Fallen Leaf City, Shanyang Town was naturally no exception, how could they not say hello when acting on other people's territory? Not to mention that when they were fixing the border, both their companions and Sister Lotus were thanks to the care of the Jian family, and they always had a love for the Jian family in the heart of Mengzi. More importantly, although Lantai has a transcendent status in the DPRK, it is precisely because of his detachment that there will not be many manpower, so as not to be suspicious. If it is to investigate the case or arrest a few people, it is naturally not a problem, but it is a little powerless to fight a large-scale encirclement and annihilation war, and a siege war.
"I have already arrived at the bottom of the mountain, and General Jian personally led the people. When Mengzi heard the reply, he felt more grateful and respectful to the Jian family in his heart. What kind of person is Jian Dahu, the prestige of the Changping God General shocked the north and south of Daqing Mountain, and now he just asked someone to pass on a word, this legendary general not only came in person, but also stationed a general horse at the foot of the mountain, obviously worried about affecting his actions, to put it more bluntly, it is clear that he will not compete with himself.
Mengzi is now considered a person in the court, and he is no longer the young man in the mountain village who only knows how to read all day long, although today's errand is very important, but it is also difficult to work Changping Shenjiang's driver, knowing that this is the face of the Jian family to Lantai, and it is also a show of goodwill to himself, the so-called god king, he is a junior in terms of seniority or age, how dare he trust him?
Told the ninth brother to stay in the temple to take care of it, and he hurried down the mountain with seventeen, from here to the bottom of the mountain, riding a fast horse back and forth for less than half an hour, hoping that nothing would go wrong in this half an hour.
