Chapter 31: The Battle of Luoshui (8)
Fang Zhong returned to the place where he had met Sikong Forgiveness, but there were only a few disciples of the Three Sects who were there to clean up the battlefield, and there were dozens of disciples of the Servant Ghost Hall who were squatting on the ground, but the white-haired ghost Sikong Liang was no longer there. I called a disciple to ask, and said that when I was here, I didn't see anyone dressed in white and holding a fan. Fang Zhongxin said that Sikong was definitely afraid that he would not be able to explain clearly, so he avoided it first, and when there was no one, he would naturally show up to see him.
When everyone returned to Luoshui City, it was naturally very lively, and even the disciples of Zhangxian Guan and Baofushan who fled here also felt that they were all honored, and they felt that they had come to the right place. In the hall of the meeting, although Magu and Ma Youde did not fight, there were already people who reported the news to tell them about the victory, and under Ma Youde's Zhang Luo, the disciples who stayed behind hastily arranged several banquets and invited Zheng Yuanhong, Hou Xin and others to sit down to celebrate this achievement. []
Although there were not a few dishes on the banquet, it could not stop everyone from Yaxing, Xiaolan poured wine on the side, said a few witty words, and everyone pushed the glass to change the lamp, but it was also very happy. Fortunately, Xiaolan is here, if the girl Magu doesn't say a word, then everyone can only drink stuffy, what interest is there. Zheng Yuanhong swallowed a glass of vegetarian wine and said triumphantly: "Although those demon sect demons are powerful, after all, evil does not prevail over good, how can they compete with us." Brother Ma, you Magushan thought that staying here would be stable and peaceful, if it weren't for Brother Fang and us, I am afraid that your second ** blessing will be unpredictable. Ma Youde said humbly: "That's natural, now the lord of the Zheng Sect is showing his might, I heard that there are hundreds of demons who have been captured, and I don't know how many died under the sword." Punishing evil is to promote good, and eliminating demons is to accumulate virtue, and this great achievement is beyond our reach. Zheng Yuanhong said with a smile: "Everyone in the same way has meritorious results, but if you want to say that the greatest credit, it is none other than Brother Fang." Have you ever seen it, he looks kind, but he is not ambiguous in the fight, except for the second old ghost that I killed with the Hou Island Lord and the Jiang Guan Lord, the other three, if there is no Fang Brother to help, it is really possible to escape. Brother Ma, you also studied art in Kunlun, I relied on the old man to say, the last time I met the wild monk, you started to move, and the skills under your hands were not very good. ”
Zheng Yuanhong only knew how to talk about others, but he forgot that he was restrained by a move under the hands of the wild monk, but now under the big victory, he doesn't remember that ugly thing at all. Ma Youde said: "Senior Brother Fang is now learning art in Yuxu Palace, that is the most amazing place, how can it be compared below." But I don't know if Senior Brother Fang was ordered to come, and now that he is victorious, what will he do next? ”
When Fang Zhong came to Luoshui City, Lu Wenfu thought he was an eyesore and kicked him over, without clear instructions. And Hanging Tianzhen doesn't care that his little disciple can help a lot, but it seems that he has become a marginal figure, anyway, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, it is a dispensable corner. Fang Zhong said: "I don't know where to go, it's better to stay here for the time being." Hou Xin and the others immediately said: "Brother Fang doesn't leave, then we won't leave either, anyway, it's disgusting to go elsewhere, it's better to stay here and be happy." Ma Youde was asking them to say this, if Fang Zhong and Zheng Yuanhong and the gang left, then there would be only the two of them left in this Luoshui City, originally thought that this was the big rear, and no one had the idea of attacking this place, but now it seems that the risk here is not small, of course, a few more people will be here. Xiaolan poured water and wine for everyone and said, "Although Master Zheng doesn't go anywhere else, I'm afraid that everyone else will come here." Zheng Yuanhong said: "The person who comes is a guest, so if you want the guest to follow the host, just like those disciples of Zhangxian Guan and Baofushan, you have to listen to our arrangement." Xiaolan said: "If the big factions such as Wangwu and Qingcheng come, do you want to listen to us?" ”
Zheng Yuanhong and the others immediately looked at each other, thinking that those small sects and small factions would be able to suppress him, if the big factions came, they were afraid that they would not be able to speak in their turn. Jiang Chengzi muttered: "If those big factions also flee here, I'm afraid that this prospect is already not good, even if I don't let it, can I take on the big responsibility alone?" Seeing that everyone shook their heads, he smiled and said: "Then what is there to worry about, if the family is powerful, we will let it, not only let it, but also stay away from him." If it is a small sect, then search for subordinates, there are always many people, there are always many benefits, you can't help kill people, you can also help shout and cheer. ”
Hou Xin said: "Lord Jiang Guan is not a loser to be an old slippery head, this is a wonderful idea, this is how to do it." ”
As soon as the banquet ended, Zheng Yuanhong asked what to do with the captured disciples of the Ghost Hall, Fang Zhong said: "It is useless for these people to kill in vain, they just collected the blade ghost mound and let them live." Zheng Yuanhong said: "If you rely on me, you will be slaughtered one by one, and anyone who has a ghost mound will definitely have a life lawsuit in his hands, and it is not unjust to kill him." Since Brother Fang said that he wanted to let it go, then the death crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be forgiven. Fang Zhong said: "I'm also worried about this matter, it's too cheap to let them go like this, I have to teach them some lessons." Hou Xin said: "Then each of them will cut off an arm, so that they can no longer harm others." Fang Zhong shook his head and said: "It's not proper, it's not proper, I think it's okay to do some labor for these people, it just so happens that this Luoshui City is in ruins, so let them repair the houses, not only save their lives, but also not raise them in vain, if they have work, they will get something, let them know that self-reliance is the way out." When the rest of the people heard this, they thought it was not bad, and that it was better to let them do labor than to kill or punish them and let them go. Fang Zhong said again: "Master Zheng, hasn't the ghost mound that been collected destroyed yet? Zheng Yuanhong said: "Didn't you say that you want to collect all the things, since you want to destroy it, I will let the disciples destroy it." Fang Zhong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I still have some use for these ghost mounds, I want to ask the Zheng Sect Master to give me all those ghost mounds?" ”
Zheng Yuanhongqi said: "What's the use of this old man? That's all you want? ”
Fang Zhong smiled awkwardly, didn't explain, only said, "If you can trust me, you can leave these things to your subordinates to dispose of." Zheng Yuanhong said: "We naturally trust you, can you still use this thing." It's just that there are quite a lot of them, I'm afraid you won't be able to take them. Fang Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we all move to the collapsed unbroken temple, dig a pit, and bury it when it is broken." ”
When Zheng Yuanhong, Hou Xin, and Jiang Chengzi heard this, they put their hearts at ease, and at the beginning, they only wanted to keep one or two pieces for themselves, although it was not easy to refuse, but a Taoist Kunlun disciple used a yīn evil thing, and it was not good to say it. It turned out that it still had to be broken, so there was no problem, since it was to get into the ruined temple, didn't it mean that he wanted to overtake these unjust souls? I'm afraid that I can't find a monk nearby, so what's the use of having a few crooked mud bodhisattvas.
Those ghost mounds have all kinds of looks, gold, silver, copper, iron, wood, bamboo, horn leather, there are hundreds of ghost mounds, all of which are placed on the collapsed Daxiong Treasure Hall. Someone else dug a pit next to it, ready to bury all these things. Zheng Yuanhong and the three of them were not interested in this, and arranged a few disciples to help, so they went back to rest, no matter how big the victory was, it was also fought by people, four battles in a row, and they went around Luoshui City, how could they not be tired. Fang Zhong waited for the three disciples who had helped to finish it, and then waved them back. Now his prestige is naturally not comparable to ordinary people, and the three heads of the sect are all so familiar with him, how dare those disciples not listen to what Fang Zhong said.
When everyone else is gone, Xiaolan is the only one left around. Fang Zhong hesitated for a moment, but didn't let her go back after all, in fact, he had a ghost mound, Xiaolan had seen it with her own eyes, she knew it, there was no need to hide it from her anymore. Fang Zhong untied his mutton fat gourd and quietly put it aside. Xiao Lan silently looked at what he had done, and then said, "Brother Zhong wants to bury it?" Fang Zhong shook his head slightly and said, "No." ”
Xiao Lan frowned, and said tentatively: "Then Brother Zhong hates those ghost mounds, and wants to break them in front of his uncle and aunt, and let out a bad breath in his chest. ”
Fang Zhong shook his head again and said, "No, in fact, I don't hate this ghost mound anymore, after all, my parents haven't really left me, and there is still a time to see it." I'm just worried, if I ingest the cultivation that others have worked so hard to achieve, what is the difference between directly absorbing the blood of a living person? The difference between the same and the end is in whose hands, so how can good and evil become. Thousands of people raising one person, is this really the Dharma? ”
Xiaolan was even more puzzled.
Fang Zhong took out eight small flags and five bronze mirrors, first threw the flags into the air, Qian, Kun, Gen, Dui, Kan, Li, Zhen, Xun suppressed in all directions, and the four bronze mirrors were positioned according to the dragon, sand, water, and wind, and then the bronze mirror at the last acupoint was placed at his feet, and the mutton fat gourd was gently pressed, and he came to the front of those ghost mounds, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took a ghost mound, and the luck in his hand, poof, the ghost mound burst open!
