Chapter 17: The Beast Shed
Fang Zhong was knocked to the ground by this slap, in his memory, only a shrew in the former Crouching Tiger Village had such strength, the blow made him dizzy and almost fainted, and he didn't think that Kunlun, the sacred place he thought about day and night, would not escape this fate. Five finger prints protruded from Fang Zhong's swollen face. Lu Wenfu said: "You rebel, don't think about yourself and come to plead, let me not kill if I don't kill?" I will kill this evil beast first, and then I will punish you. The sword stabbed down on the monstrous beast on the ground. With a bang, the sword was bloody, and it had not yet been fired, but it had been blocked. The spectators were shocked again, and Lu Wenfu was also stunned by what he saw. It turned out that Fang Zhong pounced at this critical juncture, stretched out his hands and grabbed the blade of the sword!
The sword is like autumn water, shining with cold light. Blood slid down the blade.
Fang Zhong was dumbfounded and said, "The two beasts that were killed today, I will accompany you in the future!" "Completely ignoring the wound of the sword with his empty hand.
"You...... You ......, let go! Lu Wenfu wanted to draw his sword, but Fang Zhong held it tighter instead.
At this moment, the disciples outside shouted, "Master Zhou and Fuchenzi have brought people here. Lu Wenfu was shocked, and let the elders see what kind of system he had become by bullying a little disciple, and shouted in a low voice: "Let go!" Fang Zhong said: "You promise not to kill it, and I will let it go." Lu Wenfu turned his head and saw that the disciples had already made way of a passage, and hurriedly said, "I am up to you, let it go." Fang Zhong let go of his hands in a bloody manner, Lu Wenfu waved his sword away from the bloodstains, and came out to welcome the two uncles.
The first person in the crowd was Zhou Gongwang, and behind him, Fu Chenzi and Changpingzi, two Taoists, several people were passing by out of Zixiao Pavilion, and when they heard that something was going on here, they rushed to investigate. Approaching the fence, Zhou Gongwang frowned slightly, and shouted: "What is the matter with so many people gathered here?" Lu Wenfu saluted and said, "Uncle Qiyu, there was some accident in the beast riding shed, and a vicious beast slipped into it and killed me and the mounts of Senior Brother Changpingzi. Zhou Gong Wangqi said: "Is there such a thing? The probe saw that there were indeed a number of livestock carcasses in the fence, and the smell of blood rushed to his nose, and he rebuked: "How the people who guard the animal riding shed look at the beasts, what a waste!" Which disciple is on duty? When Chang Pingzi heard that he had also bitten his mount to death, he hurriedly bowed down and went into the animal shed, and when he saw that his elk was already too dead to die, he shook his head and sighed: "Poor, how did you get bitten to death?" ”
Lu Wenfu pointed to Fang Zhong in the column and said, "It was the disaster that happened when this son was taking care of the beast riding shed." Chang Pingzi looked at Fang Zhong and said curiously: "Isn't this a disciple who just came, how can it be him?" Lu Wenfu said: "It was he who wanted to take care of it for one night, but he didn't know that something happened." There are several disciples here who can testify. The two Taoists who came to watch the beast riding shed and the Taoist who were in charge of the livestock pen in the front hall spoke again together. Lu Wenfu called Zhou Qing again and asked, "But you and Fang Zhong have been here for a night." Zhou Qing said in a low voice: "Yes......." Lu Wenfu turned his head to Zhou Gongwang and said: "It is this evil beast that has caused this disaster, I heard the warning, so I rushed to kill the evil beast." Zhou Gong looked at the other party Zhong and still had some images, he had bumped into him on the top of the Jade Void Palace, he didn't have a good feeling, and nodded: "Good kill!" Even with such a disciple should be punished. These words were in Lu Wenfu's heart, and he said, "Please show Uncle Shi." Zhou Gongwang pondered slightly, and said: "It is he who insists on watching the beast, and he is derelict in watching the beast, so he will still be punished here, from today onwards, he will be punished for guarding the beast shed, if he does a good job, he will be allowed to return to the front hall to learn art and listen to the lecture." Lu Wenfu was overjoyed and said, "Uncle Shi's handling is clear, and it should be like this." "This guard riding the beast shed is actually a chore, no matter the wind, snow, sun and rain, they must always be there, but lonely and boring, otherwise why do the two Taoist priests go to great lengths, just to go back and sleep well, just because in the people who watch the beasts, it is also a luxury to sleep comfortably. This news was gratifying to the two Taoists who were originally taking care of the beast riding shed, if Fang Zhong was transferred to take care of the beast riding shed, then wouldn't he have another responsibility, it would be better to transfer to a place with oil and water.
Lu Wenfu returned to the beast shed, and the other party said: "Uncle Zhou has an order, punish you to take care of the beast shed here, when to go back to the front hall to learn art and listen to the lecture, see how you behave." Seeing that he only looked down at the hideous beast, he said in a low voice, "Aren't you dead yet?" Leaning over to look at it, too. Fang Zhong hurriedly hugged the hideous beast and said in shock, "You said you wouldn't kill it." Lu Wenfu sneered: "I don't kill it, but I didn't say that others don't kill it, is it me who wants to kill it?" Fang Zhong was startled, turned his head to look at Chang Pingzi, but saw Chang Pingzi standing next to the elk's corpse, breaking the antlers wholeheartedly, not at all like a person who hated the loss of his mount, so who would come to kill the hideous beast? Thinking of this, my heart was worried, it seemed that I was not a good person everywhere, and I didn't dare to neglect the hideous beast for a moment.
Zhou Gongwang shouted to the Kunlun disciples: "Scattered!" If you don't go back to practice, you are good at diligence and frolic, and the peace of the world depends on your efforts, how to slack off here! "The Kunlun disciples did not distinguish between the Taoist and the vulgar, and they scattered one after another. Zhou Gongwang said to Lu Wenfu and Changpingzi: "Many affairs in the front hall need to be taken care of by the two of you, don't delay here." Turning around and leaving, the dust was silent, and after a few glances, he left with Zhou Gongwang. Chang Pingzi broke off the antlers and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Lu, I have raised it for many years, and it has finally come in handy, how about you and me?" Lu Wenfu shook his head with a wry smile and said: "You can use the things you raise, and my love horse died tragically, and I am not in the mood at all." Changpingzi said: "Death is dead, don't care about him, it's not bad to use this thing to refine medicine." "Took the antlers and left.
As soon as the others left, Lu Wenfu's smile suddenly disappeared, and he said coldly: "You can take good care of the beast shed here." Fang Zhong only said that he was verbally threatening, as long as he left, someone would come to harm the beast, and said fiercely: "If I don't leave, I will take care of the beast shed." Lu Wenfu snorted and threw his sleeves out of the slaughter.
The animal riding shed, which was still bustling with activity, was deserted.
Seeing that the flesh and blood on the back of the hideous beast were blurred, Fang Zhong tore off a sleeve, pulled it into strips of cloth, and bandaged himself and the hideous beast. It was extremely inconvenient to hurt both hands, and it was extremely difficult to even tie a knot, and it took a lot of effort, but it was only a rough wrap. The hideous beast injured its waist and couldn't stand up, Fang Zhong wanted to hold it in his arms, but he was shocked to find that it was already a strange body, and it was no longer like a dog at that time, he had never paid attention to it, it was much bigger. Fang Zhong stroked it carefully and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect you to be so big and grow faster than me." The beast whimpered twice, and lowered its head weakly.
The smell of blood in the beast shed was tangy, and no one disturbed one person and one beast, but they stayed at ease.
In the blink of an eye, it was dark, and no one came outside the beast riding shed, Fang Zhong was a little anxious: Why didn't anyone come here? Even if you want me to take care of it, you should also explain the rules and explain how to feed the livestock here, and besides, I am here alone, and I don't even have a shift change, so how to eat. Fang Zhong paced back and forth, and finally saw two Daoists staggering over, but who were the Daoists who were not guarding the beast riding shed? Fang Zhongxi said: "Two senior brothers, you are finally here. The two Taoists smiled drunkenly and said, "This little junior brother, my two senior brothers have come to see you, and I want to thank you." ”
Fang Zhong said: "Thank me? ”
"Exactly, if you hadn't come to guard the animal shed for the two of us, where would I have been so happy." The man pointed his finger at the beast shed and said: "This lifeless place, there is no oil or water at all, I have suffered for so long, I should have enjoyed the blessings a long time ago." Another Taoist also echoed: "Yes, yes, it's too late to transfer away, who let this little junior brother come late, if he came a few years earlier, I will wait for the same design, and plant him to train the beast ineffectively and indulge in the beast's murder, wouldn't it be a few years less suffering." That Dao man was drunk, and said what he shouldn't have said in front of Fang Zhong.
Fang Zhong's suspicions gradually arose, and asked, "Why do I want to see the beast when I come?" Did you assign me? ”
The Taoist smiled: "There is a first come and first come in everything, you have little qualifications and weak feelings, you will suffer." To tell you the truth, your brute bit the senior brother who guarded the cattle pen in the front hall, and he was so angry that he came to seek revenge, and beat your brute out of anger, not wanting to anger it, but broke the reins and frantically bit the uncle's mount to death. In fact, the reason for this is that you are not good and do not know the world, which leads to such a result. ”
Fang Zhong said angrily: "I see, why am I bad again?" ”
Another Taoist said: "Naturally, you are not good. Your new little disciple, there is no flattery, no filial piety, and no favor, who will give you face. Didn't Senior Brother Zhou Qing who was with you tell you? But just go up the mountain, you have to pay some benefits to the predecessors, there is spare money out of spare money, no spare money on behalf of the chores, only to build a good relationship with the door, you are good to gain a foothold on this Kunlun Mountain. This time, I will teach you a lesson! ”
Fang Zhong was extremely angry, no wonder Zhou Qing came to take care of the beast shed late at night, it turned out that he was currying favor with these two Taoists, and there was such a dirty and unfair thing under the dignified Kunlun Sect. Fang Zhong said: "You filthy deeds are all hiding from your uncles and uncles, and you are privately engaged in private business, I will go to report you." ”
The two Taoists put away their smiling faces and scolded: "You little brute, it is for your good to tell you some rules, so as not to suffer in the future, but you don't know the hearts of good people, and you have to denounce me and others, you don't want to mix up on Kunlun Mountain." "If you go to the elders to denounce it, it may not be as you wish, but it will offend more people, make enemies of everyone, and make you feel at ease for a moment.
The man had a flower in front of him, and before he knew what was going on, he had already been punched on the bridge of his nose, and the pain was unbearable, and tears suddenly flowed. "Ouch! The little beast also beats people! Hit him, hit him. Erdao relied on the strength of the wine, rolled his arms and sleeves, and hugged him and beat Fang Zhong. The two Daoists are tall and big, and have learned spells and fists for a few years, although the skills are not refined, they are also stronger than Fang Zhong's disorganized methods, a few back and forth, Fang Zhong was beaten several punches and kicks, although a few punches were returned, the so-called double fists are difficult to defeat four hands, the hero can't stand the crowd, a negligence in the next plate, and the Taoist made him stumble and fall to the ground.
The two Daoists hurriedly held down Fang Zhong, slammed their fists and scolded, "Are you still sue?" Fang Zhong said: "Even if you sue the Yuxu Palace, you also have to seek justice." The two Taoists were furious, punched a few times, and asked, "If you want good fruit to eat, you need to listen to us, do you understand?" Fang Zhong said: "Phew! I don't listen, you two thieves, one day I will fight you back. The two Dao Qi didn't fight in one place, and hit a few punches hard, and a Taoist said: "Daoists like us, I don't know how many there are in Kunlun Mountain, can you beat them?" Fang Zhong said: "Just take the two of you as an example and kill chickens to show the monkeys!" The Taoist said angrily: "It's a good chicken to show the monkey, see who looks good to whom." "Fists rained down.
Fang Zhong couldn't stop scolding, and Erdao was even more angry, hating Kunlun Mountain for coming to such an ignorant widow who didn't know the world.
While he was fighting, he heard someone shouting in the distance: "Who is spreading wild here!?" Erdao was startled, stopped fighting, and asked, "Who is it?" "I couldn't see it in the night, but I looked at the place where it came from.
A figure flashed from the darkness, a burly figure, a man in green clothes, a lay disciple, the man said: "In the lower Ba Wenji, what are you arguing about here?" Erdao heard the word "Wen", and knew that it was a person of the literary generation, so he ran away after letting Fang Zhong pull his legs, and in a blink of an eye, there was no one to go.
The man wondered, "What are you running?" Slowly came to Fang Zhong's approach.
Fang Zhong's nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he didn't know how many bruises there were on his body, so he slowly got up and looked up at the person who came. As soon as the man saw Fang Zhong's embarrassed appearance, he only said that there was discord between the Kunlun disciples, so much so that he added his fists and feet, and couldn't help but scold: "You are so bold that you dare to fight privately on Kunlun Mountain? Fang Zhong didn't say a word, snorted coldly, moved his steps, and limped towards the pen where the hideous beast was kept. The man was stunned for a moment, and then followed.
"What a smell of blood? Ah! Isn't this Senior Brother Lu's mount? How did you die? Ba Wenji was surprised to see the mess at the scene, and the other party said, "What's going on?" How do you stay here? ”
Fang Zhong sat next to the hideous beast, caressing the hideous beast's fur, and wept alone, ignoring the people at all. The man had a lot of questions that could not be answered, and his heart was irritable, so he also got into the column and carefully examined Fang Zhonglai. After a while, he said softly: "Little brother, if you have any grievances, you might as well say it, I can make the decision for you." Fang Zhong glanced at it coldly and said lightly, "It's okay." Bavenji pulled a few handfuls of straw under him and asked, "How can it be all right?" Where do these wounds come from, they will be beaten. Fang Zhong said: "It's not that I'm being beaten, it's you who beat me and I beat you, and they beat each other." The man smiled dumbly, nodded and said, "It's from each other, and those two people can't please each other, right?" ”
Seeing that Fang Zhong didn't care about himself, he just stroked a monster beside him, so he also looked at the beast carefully, only after a few glances, he suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Hideous beast!" This voice startled Fang Zhong, and blurted out: "How do you know? Bawenji looked at the beast's injuries and replied, "I've seen it since I was a child." He took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and poured out a few pills. Fang Zhong's eyes widened, he looked at the porcelain vase in a daze, and said stupidly, "Why do you also have this porcelain vase?" Bavenjiqi said: "Do you mean Seven Leaves Silver Zhisan?" Most of the Kunlun disciples possess this medicine. Fang Zhong said: "This porcelain vase - only Kunlun disciples have it?" Ba Wenji nodded and said, "Yes." "Lean over and drugged the beast;
