Chapter 35: Descending the Mountain Again
After coming out of the Jade Void Palace, many disciples went back to prepare, Qian Wenyi grabbed Fang Zhong and said earnestly: "When I'm not by your side, be careful." Although a lot of experience is good for cultivation, it is good to have a life to come back. Fang Zhong said: "The disciple knows, besides, the real person in charge of the sect also said that this is a stable place, and there will be no trouble, master, please relax." Qian Wenyi listened to his master's words, his heart was sad for a while, and he lowered his head and said: "Whether it is a sacrificial sword or a retreat on the road, it consumes a lot of mana, in case you encounter an enemy and the mana is not continued, it is very dangerous, you might as well bring one or two mounts to do it for you." I will talk to Uncle Pingzi, the head of the Sanqing Palace, and ask him to send you to the beast riding shed to ride an ordinary bird or beast, which will save a lot of effort. ”
Qian Wenyi's desire to let Fang Zhong lead a mount is already a big face, ordinary disciples, who can have this benefit, fortunately, Fang Zhong is going forward alone, it doesn't matter if he is a little favoritism. After all, everyone is a group and can take care of each other.
After Fang Zhong thanked him, Qian Wenyi gave another bottle of Seven Leaf Silver Zhisan, and then returned to his room to clean it up. Although there are not many things, the two swords on the back, one fiery red and the other green and white, are quite eye-catching. After bringing the mutton fat gourd, Fang Zhong rushed to the Sword Casting Hall, only to learn that Liu Yimei had already been sent down the mountain, and only dozens of disciples were left behind in the entire Sword Casting Hall.
Fang Zhong found Puxuan, Dingguan, and Lai Pizhang in the sword room, and told him about his imminent descent from the mountain.
Pu Xuan said: "Since you are going down the mountain, why don't we go with you." Dingguan said: "Senior brother, you still think that you are the body of zìyóu, you and I are now settled here, and we are also on errands, how can there be a reason to say that you can go." Pu Xuan said: "I will also go to kill demons, Guangdao Gate, didn't Senior Brother Zhende have such a grand ambition at the beginning, and now the younger brother has completed his last wish, what can't he do." Lai Pi on the side pouted and said: "Don't look in the mirror, just like you, it's strange that you don't get skinned and bone-pulled." Who can beat this ability? Pu Xuan scolded: "You lazy, if it weren't for Fang Zhong's face, I would have beaten you up." I will go with Fang Zhong, it is your business, when will the things you owe me come back. With his hand stretched out, he asked Lai Pizhang for the silver and talismans that had been stolen long ago. Fang Zhong said with a smile: "Dao Chief, don't be like my eldest brother, it is much safer for you to stay on the mountain, so you don't have to follow your disciple into danger, I still have a few words to tell you alone." "Pull Pu Xuan aside. Pu Xuan said: "What do you want Zhong'er to tell me?" Fang Zhong said softly, "That day, the word recipe has been returned to the disciple's hands. Pu Xuan was stunned, looked back at Lai Pizhang, and said: "I know that he took it, this bastard is still a good acquaintance, and he will give it to you, why do you need to do this more, I haven't slept for several nights, and it's not such a trick to trick people." Fang Zhong groaned, "It's not that simple. Master, since you came, there has been no one staring at you. ”
Pu Xuan's brain was so shocked: "You mean, even if we hand in the Tianzi Formula, there are still people who are beating our idea." It's broken, it's bad, only a thousand rì catch thieves, how can there be a thousand rì to prevent thieves, sooner or later, someone will touch the old bottom. I can't stay here, I have to go. He turned back to Dingguan and said, "Senior brother, pack your luggage, let's go down the mountain to watch the feng shui for others." Dingguan complained: "Senior brother, you have gone crazy again, you have given birth to a monkey ass, and you can't stop at all, and you have to leave again as soon as you settle down." Lai Pizhang suddenly interjected, and said with a smile: "You are gone, but don't think that I will pay back your silver, it is three hundred taels of silver, and the poor road has never stolen it!" ”
Lai Pizhang seemed to be talking about stealing Pu Xuan's money and returning the concubine's head, but in Pu Xuan's ear, he woke up the dreamer with a word, and hurriedly said to Dingguan: "Wait, senior brother is joking, let's not go." Dingguan scratched his head and complained: "Sooner or later, you will make a mistake." ”
Pu Xuan's eyes at Lai Pi Zhang also had a hint of meaning, and he said to Lai Pi Zhang: "It's a good three hundred taels of silver, Zhang Daoren, you don't need to pay back this silver, I invite you." Then he turned to the other party and said, "Since you reminded me, I will pay attention." There may be some danger for you to go down the mountain this time, I don't have anything else, and I have some pen and ink cinnabar rune paper, so I gave it to you. Fang Zhong thanked him and then said goodbye to Lai Pi Zhang and Dingguan.
The last time he went down the mountain, in order to hide people's eyes, Lu Gongli took Fang Zhong and the others to escape down the mountain directly from the Qilin Cliff, and this time he was sent down the mountain, so he naturally had to be above board. When Fang Zhong passed through the Sanqing Palace, a disciple had already informed Chang Pingzi. Chang Pingzi had already received Qian Wenyi's orders, and besides, he was also familiar with Fang Zhong, so of course he agreed.
Fang Zhong came to the beast riding shed and saw two Daoists surnamed Hu, explaining his intentions, and the second Dao hurriedly stammered: "I have long said that Brother Fang is a person of the people, and ordinary disciples can enjoy such honors. However, Xuan pointed to the half-empty animal pens and said regretfully: "Many animal pens are already empty, in addition to the ones that have already belonged, there are still a few elk, camels, horses, geese and cranes, all of which are mortal goods, Brother Fang came too late, I am afraid that I don't like it much." It's better to pick a wild goose for you, although it is not a divine horse, at least it is also a bird, and it is better than running on the ground. ”
Fang Zhong shook his head and said, "I don't need these. "I came to the pen where the beast was imprisoned. The place where the hideous beast was held was empty on the left and right, not because it was picked up by other disciples, but because the riding beasts that were originally raised on both sides of the beast were all in shape, and they had no peace for a moment, and they had to be led elsewhere, so there were a lot of vacant ones. However, in this way, there are not many people who know that such a murderous thing is still being held here, and they don't know if they see it occasionally, so they have been stable until now.
Hu Lan, one of the two paths, was surprised: "If you want to use it, I'm afraid that this thing will be short-tempered and upset, and you won't be able to sit still." ”
Fang Zhong said with a smile: "Who said that you can't sit down, it's not slower than a bird, but I don't use it as a mount, just let it go down the mountain with me." ”
"Anyway, it's all Brother Dao's business, you can do whatever you say, I think this beast is bare, it's better to add a saddle bridge, and let people know that this is domesticated, otherwise it's not good to go out and be a beast."
Fang Zhong thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Then listen to the two Taoist friends, and add a pair of saddle bridges." If you have one, give me one. ”
That Hu Yi said: "Deserve it, deserve it, I'll go get a pair." With a trot, he took a pair from a golden camel and brought it back to Fang Zhong. Fang Zhong opened the beast pen, hastily buckled the saddle bridge on the back of the hideous beast, and pulled it out. Erdao was already standing in the distance, Fang Zhong waved his hand at Erdao, the hideous beast roared twice, spread its four legs, and ran around Fang Zhong several times with joy, before he could react, he immediately grabbed Fang Zhong and threw it behind him, roared, and disappeared into the distance in a blink of an eye carrying Fang Zhong, looking at Erdao, he couldn't keep his tongue down, and muttered: "My master, it's really a sitting and running." ”
