686 Mystery Deals
In Gu Zheng's impression, this kind of exchange of information and convenience for practitioners in the mysterious industry must be like the existence of Tianji Pavilion in martial arts.
But when he looked at the house that was quietly uninhabited and became more and more low and aggrieved as he walked, the mysterious place that existed in Gu Zheng's heart collapsed with a bang.
'Da Da Da'......
Gu Zheng's footsteps became slower and slower, because the road became potholed again, and the wooden planks and debris protruding from the low eaves around him also blocked his view of the road ahead.
When Gu Zheng covered his forehead and stumbled to the deepest part of the alley, he found that there was a rare and bright double-fan door here, with a threshold more than an inch high, and two red copper hanging rings hanging between the doors, which were used for pushing and pulling the door.
These two doors are painted quite neatly with brown paint, and the most striking thing is that under this knocker, there are two square New Year's pictures of roosters catching insects, red and black, with a trace of inexplicable ferocity between the magnificence.
Seeing Gu Zheng here, he took a deep breath, and he could confirm that he had found the right place.
When he had once again straightened his shirt and carried the sack behind him, he stepped up the stone steps, stood on tiptoe to raise the brass ring, and knocked on the door three times with a pious heart.
"Dangdang!"
The sound of the knocker hitting the wooden plank is quite loud in this quiet alley, and it also provides a lot of convenience for the people who answer the door inside.
But unlike the quick scene of answering the door in Gu Zheng's imagination, he had been waiting at the door for more than a dozen breaths now, and he had never seen anyone open the door in front of him from the inside.
Could it be that he came at the right time?
The owner happened to have something to do and didn't come back?
Gu Zheng, who didn't believe in evil, immediately put his ear in the crack of this gate.
"Okay, up!"
"Wonderful!"
Faintly ...... Some voices came from within, and because the distance was too far, Gu Zheng couldn't hear it clearly.
If no one answers, then we can only say that I have no chance to meet the broker of the Master today, so I will only come to visit tomorrow.
Gu Zheng, who had mustered up enough strength, grabbed the copper ring and knocked it desperately, 'Dangdang'
After striking like this seven or eight times in a row, just as he was about to give up and leave, the door creaked open from the inside.
The most terrifying thing is that there is a delicate yellow and tender spring flower pinned to his sideburns, and he walks staggering as if he is dying.
"Who is it? In such a hurry, rushing to reincarnate? Don't you know that we are going on here with a life-and-death matter?"
"Open the door later, that's for your own good!"
The sallow and thin man opened the door with a muttering face, but the others were stunned first.
I saw a strange little Taoist priest standing outside this gate, clear and delicate, with red lips and white teeth, and a little funny is that he also has a face like a white bun.
Such a clean and immature character...... He doesn't know Zhang Sanga.
But after this Zhang Sanga carefully looked at the dress of this little Taoist priest, he was happy.
"You're Gu Laodao's little Taoist boy, right?What's the matter?, your master can't come for something, but he sent you over??"
"Is he finally going to pass on his skills to you, so that you can inherit his mantle?"
"I'll just say, if his secret art is not passed on, it will be a big loss in the realm. ”
"Come on, come on, what do you have to say when you come in, but you brought your family's General Hua with you?"
Seeing this person's enthusiasm, Gu Zheng felt that he should re-evaluate his cheap master's ability.
Could it be that the master is a first-class master in the side door?
Is it even more highly regarded by this broker in the middle?
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng cautiously opened his mouth and confirmed again: "Excuse me, are you the Zhang Sanga that the master said, Uncle Zhang?"
"Yes, yes, of course, hey, little Taoist, people on our side don't want to call this, you can just call me the third uncle. ”
"Come on, come in, come in and follow your Uncle Sanga, and tell me carefully, how did you come alone?"
As Zhang Sanga poked out, when he confirmed that Gu Zheng was really the only one coming, he welcomed him into the courtyard with excitement on his face.
It wasn't until Gu Zheng entered the courtyard with his third uncle one after the other that he understood why no one answered when he answered the door.
I didn't expect that there was such a place in this alley, and the entrance was actually an independent water pavilion front yard, although it was not large, but it perfectly isolated the noise in the courtyard behind this first wall.
When the enthusiastic third uncle led him to the courtyard behind, Gu Zheng understood what the so-called life-and-death battle in this courtyard was.
This is what smoking guns used to do, cockfighting!
It's no wonder that this Zhang Sanga first asked the master, and then asked the general Hua, and he admired him very much between his words and a chicken.
When he returned to the mountain, General Hua's body was scarred, and the tiredness on Master's face could not hide his excitement, and this time, all the answers were found.
But Gu Zheng, who got the correct answer, was like a balloon that had been pierced by a needle, and he was deflated all of a sudden.
O heaven, O earth!
Is there anyone who can answer whether he has entered a copy that can really cultivate immortals?
Why do these two seem so unreliable?
……
The sun was very big at noon, the sound on the cockfighting arena was very mixed, the chickens flying and shouting and their blood was very hot, Gu Zheng, who was standing on the sidelines and watching coldly, his heart was so painful.
This lonely back, as if isolated from this lively crowd, is out of place, making people watching this scene inexplicably sad.
Zhang Sanga, who couldn't see such a scene the most, quickly patted Gu Zheng's lonely shoulder, trying to adjust the atmosphere between him and the venue.
"What's the matter, little Taoist, don't you look at such a bloody fight?"
"As the successor of the leader of the Northern Sect of Cockfighting, you were born to fight cocks in your bones!"
Your whole family is made for cockfighting.
Gu Zheng didn't say this, because he knew that even if he said it, the other party thought he was praising him.
But Gu Zheng, who didn't give up, asked again: "Third uncle, my master looks for you on weekdays, isn't it just for something else?"
Zhang Sanga, who was asked like this, was stunned for a moment, and returned without thinking about it: "What else can I do? On weekdays, the people in this courtyard come to me not to buy chickens, or to buy the secret recipe for raising chickens, and then to ask for good chicken feed, chicken pots and jars, etc." What do you want?"
"Didn't my master ask you to recommend some exorcism to him, or to pray for blessings and immortals?"
Gu Zheng looked eagerly at Zhang Sanga opposite with his shining little eyes, waiting for him to give this final answer.
"Oh!" was asked by Gu Zheng, Zhang Sanga's expression became weird, he was no longer as babbling as he was just now, but instead told a servant-like person on the side, and then turned around and walked towards a guest room in the backyard.
When he arrived at the door, he turned around and beckoned to Gu Zheng, signaling this kind of words...... You need to go to the house and talk about it.
There is a door!
Gu Zheng, who once again ignited hope, ran to the wing room in three steps and two steps, and with Zhang Sanga's guidance, he entered the house together, and covered the door with his backhand.
"Okay, now that there is no one around, your third uncle and I can tell you about your master's other business. ”
"But then again, why did you kid come to ask by yourself, didn't you sneak down the mountain, and take advantage of the old Taoist Gu's unpreparedness, and plan to pry his corner, right?"
As soon as Zhang Sanga said a few words, he was shocked that something was wrong, and his voice took a turn, not believing that Gu Zheng was going to terminate the subsequent conversation.
Seeing Gu Zheng here, the tears poured out, and he cried as pitiful as he could.
"Third uncle, what's the matter?
"I, my master, he had already feathered and ascended more than ten days ago. ”
"If he hadn't mentioned you to me, Third Uncle, I wouldn't have been able to make money myself. ”
"Third uncle, because of the heavy wind and rain on the mountain, the news can't be transmitted, if I knew that the master had an old friend of yours, how could I inform you before letting the old man settle down. ”
"Ah, how so?"
After Zhang Sanga listened to Gu Zheng's snot and tears, a look of great sorrow first appeared on his face, but after a short period of grief, he turned to worry.
"Why did your master go so suddenly? I said, little Taoist, did you leave anything or anything when your master went?"
"It's the kind that is very important, and it needs to be handed over to me personally. ”
"Oh, there is!"
Gu Zheng, who was reminded by Zhang Sanga, thought about it, there was really such a thing, if it wasn't for the reminder left by the master, he wouldn't have found the realm of this Zhang Sanga.
"My master, let me hand over the medicinal stones in this bottle to the third uncle, third uncle, I have learned a lot of alchemy experience from my master, and I do it all by watching the fire and filling the medicine on weekdays. ”
"Third uncle, tell me what kind of medicine you need on weekdays, and I can continue to do this frequent business with you. ”
took the small medicine jar handed over by Gu Zheng, and Zhang Sanga at this time couldn't care about what the little Taoist priest in front of him said to him.
I just grabbed the jar in a hurry, carefully opened the lid of the wax-sealed jar, twisted the yellow-white powder with my fingers, and stuffed it into my mouth.
