Chapter 7: Parting

Zhende broke out in a cold sweat in pain, and shouted in a hissed voice: "Senior brother, go quickly, we are not opponents." At the same time, he gritted his teeth and quickly incinerated a spell in his hand.

"I still want to run!" The second sword light rushed in, and the sound of "brushing" passed through the afterimage left by the Daoist of True Virtue, and the afterimage disappeared, but Zhende and Puxuan were gone, and they had escaped with their escape technique. The ugly ghost was furious and said, "Arrest these two stinky Taoist priests for me!" "The sound shook the roof tiles and spread far away. Suddenly, the sound of "ping pong" was endless, and the lids of each coffin in the courtyard collapsed one after another, and a person jumped out of each coffin.

As soon as Zhende and Puxuanfu walked out of the gate, more than a dozen people in different clothes had already stopped at the intersection first, looking at Zhende and Puxuan's eyes as if they were looking at a caged prey. A shrill voice said in a gloomy voice: "Where do the two Dao Masters want to go?" As soon as the words fell, a figure appeared in front of him, blocking Puxuan's way. A folding fan, a thin white young man dressed as a weak scholar, was rolling his triangular eyes and looking up at the sky, and appeared in front of Erdao's eyes in a playful tone. The folding fan swayed and waved, pretending to be very leisurely and chic, but the folding fan in this hand really has no table, and the fan is painted with a vicious ghost head full of fangs.

Pu Xuandui smiled: "It's not early, I'm in a hurry." "Secretly, a talisman was secretly pinched in his hand, and the palm of his luck was ready to do it.

The white-clothed scholar said: "Since the hour is not early, it is better to stay." As soon as the folding fan was folded, two people walked up behind him, and they were about to arrest people on the left and right.

The sound of heavy footsteps behind Zhende and Puxuan came, and the ugly ghost chased after him with a ghost-headed knife, shouting: "White-haired ghost, be careful of the bull's nose to make a blind eye!" ”

The scholar known as the white-haired ghost had not yet understood what was going on, the real fire in the hands of Puxuan Daoist was burning, and at the same time, he bit the tip of his tongue, and a mouthful of blood sprayed in the palm of his hand, and the rune appeared, leaving only two faint phantoms of Zhende and Puxuan in an instant, which were gradually disappearing.

The white-haired ghost's face changed, and he shouted, "What kind of escape technique is this?" As soon as the folding fan was raised, a blue ghost flame swept across the place where the two disappeared, and the ghost fire rushed to the ground, and the burning ground made a sizzling sound, but there was no trace of the two paths.

It was already a few miles away from Zhaojiatun, and Pu Xuan felt that his mana was exhausted, so he had to stop and rest. When he turned around and saw that there was no one chasing Zhao Jiatun out, he took a long breath and hurriedly took time to help Zhende stop the bleeding and bandage. Zhende had shed so much blood that he was already overwhelmed. Zhende whispered in a trembling voice; "The master often said in the world that the temperament of the poor road and the talent of your junior brother are the best apprentices, but unfortunately you are slippery by nature, and you like to take advantage of the camp, you must know that the most taboo speculation in the cultivation line is to be careful from now on."

Pu Xuan cried: "What Senior Brother said is that I will definitely reform and devote myself to cultivation in the future. ”

Zhende said: "Master said that I am not as clever as my junior brother, although I am not convinced and have repeatedly accused you of being slippery and lazy, but Master is right, how can the glorious court be done by a kind and humble person, I will never succeed." ”

Pu Xuan said: "The master went in a hurry, although he didn't designate anyone to take over, but the young and the young are orderly, since you are the senior brother, you are the head of the Maoshan Sect, is there anyone else." ”

Zhende forced a smile and said: "If I am asked to take over the position of master, the master has already made it clear that the reason why he is indecisive is because of you, the second junior brother." ”

Pu Xuan was stunned and said, "What does it have to do with me?" ”

Zhende said: "Because the master's original intention was to make you the head of my Maoshan faction." ”

Pu Xuan stood stunned for a while, came back to his senses after a while, and stammered: "Senior brother, what are you kidding about, who doesn't know that I can't keep the rules and precepts, even if it's the turn of the two junior brothers who are in charge of Dingguan and Holding the Treasure, it won't be my turn." ”

Zhende said in a solemn tone: "Senior brother! When the master was dying, he asked me to pass on the word, as long as you are willing to work hard to restrain your oily and smooth market villain habits, this position of head is yours. ”

Pu Xuan thought that he could be so favored by the master for his repeated violations of the canons, and he wanted to pass on the position of the head of the family, although the Maoshan faction is not a big sect, but it is also of the same origin and has mutual contacts with the Heavenly Master and the Taiyi Master, so he can't underestimate this ordinary person. Remembering that Master had always taught and admonished him with kindness and strictness, and that he felt a lot of guilt, he couldn't help but feel sad and grateful, but he shook his head even more, saying that he didn't believe that Master intended to pass on the throne to him.

Seeing that Puxuan didn't believe it, Zhende hurriedly said: "I won't wait for you to return to the mountain, so I will go to great lengths to find out why you came?" There is really something important to tell. Breaking open Puxuan, he reached into the pocket of his underwear with one hand, trembled and took out a small oilcloth package, and said: "This is entrusted by the master on his deathbed, and the senior brother does not dare to trespass, see for yourself!" ”

Pu Xuan took the package, and he didn't dare to open it with many doubts, so at this moment, Na Zhende's eyes closed and he passed away. Pu Xuan sat next to Zhende's corpse, watching Zhende's voice and appearance seem to be separated by yin and yang, thinking of the many benefits of his senior brother, sadness came from it, and the corpse cried. cried until the twilight was heavy, Fang stopped crying, carried the body of his senior brother, and disappeared into the twilight.

At night, in the lobby of a mansion in Zhaojiatun, the scholar nicknamed the white-haired ghost Sikong Liang and the iron ghoul Duan Min were sitting and talking. That mercy is the ugly ghost who slashed Zhende.

The iron ghoul Duan said with compassion: "I have been very short for the past few days, and I am about to find the fresh and delicate flesh and blood sacrifice to sacrifice to the Five Organs Mansion, but the residents here are running away and dying, and there is not even a fresh and tender doll, so I don't have to worry." A pair of fierce eyes swept away his subordinates, and the others who looked at it felt a terrible chill, afraid that the iron ghoul would not be able to bear the emptiness of his stomach, so he stuffed himself between his teeth.

The white-haired ghost smiled: "You know that you are blindly strong, I heard that a ghost was ruined by a Taoist priest, right?" ”

The iron ghoul said hatefully, "Yes! It's a little lady who just came to Zhaojiatun to play, and for the first time after being a ghost, she was split by the thunder released by the Taoist priest. One day, I'll take a grudge with a bigger grudge to take a look.,It's best to get a son-mother mound or a husband and wife mound.,It's a pity that there is no good ghost mound.。 ”

The white-haired ghost pondered for a moment, and said with some pain: "Brother, I have a new baby here, I thought I would use it myself, but I didn't need it for a while." The white-haired ghost took out a mutton fat gourd from his sleeve and said, "This is a thousand-year-old gourd vine, which is extremely rare, and it is an excellent tool for making a mound." Brother Zhi loves to use the gourd as a grave, so I will give it to you. ”

Duan Min was overjoyed, touched the mutton fat gourd and couldn't put it down, and boasted: "The fruit is the best!" He turned around and instructed his subordinates: "Inquire about the people who live there, and Lao Tzu will personally collect a few good service ghosts to come back, so as to live up to the gift of his brother." ”

Since Jing Yi left, Fang Zhong had been teasing the cub he had picked up every day, and the beast had grown so fast that it soon resembled a puppy the size of a few months, not only beautiful, but also running so fast that no one could catch up with it. A few days later, Jiang Wenxian told the Fang couple that he would leave the mountain and return to Shimen the next day.

Jiang Wenxian and Fang Zhong each wrapped a package on their shoulders, and Jiang Wenxian also held a long sword in his hand. Although Fang Zhong had never seen him perform swordsmanship, this long sword had always been cherished by Uncle Jiang and placed at the head of the bed, which was obviously a very valuable thing.

When the two went out to take a look, they saw Fang Bao'er, Zhong Yan, and Liu Lao and others in the village all seeing them off outside the door. Although Jiang Wenxian has lived here for ten years, he rarely interacts with other people except for the Fang family and his wife.

Zhong Yan deliberately dressed up, put the beaded jasper hairpin given by the woman in red that day on his head, changed into a set of beautiful clothes, and smeared some rouge gouache lightly.

Fang Zhong was followed by a small dog running around happily, and as soon as the big dog of Li Tieshan's family saw Fang Zhong's, he immediately lowered his tail and bowed his head and fled. Fang Zhong saw that his mother was dressed very beautifully, and said with a smile: "Mother, you are so beautiful." Zhong Yan smiled and said: "If you go, I'm afraid that you won't be able to see your mother for a year and a half, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and when you come back later, your mother will already be old." Now let you look at the appearance of your mother, you will remember that your mother is also so beautiful in the days to come! Although he laughed, but the separation was imminent, Zhong Yan couldn't stop his eyes from moistening. Fang Bao'er gently hugged Fang Zhong into her arms and comforted: "Zhong'er is still young now, maybe you and I won't recognize you when I come back in the future, do you leave an ornament as a souvenir?" If Zhong'er thinks of his parents, he will take this thing to relieve the pain of lovesickness. ”

Zhong Yan pulled off the beaded jasper hairpin on his head and handed it to Fang Zhongdao: "There is nothing else at home, this is a gift from a master, it can drive away evil and avoid disasters for you, and you will be lucky in trouble, you have a good life to hide." Fang Zhong took it and said with tears in his eyes: "Zhong'er knows that he will come back to visit his parents when he is free!" Li Tieshan and his wife came to the front with Xiaolan and said goodbye to the two.

Jiang Wenxian, who was on the side, bowed to the surroundings and said, "Fellow villagers, Jiang Mou has taken care of you a lot, thank you here!" "He also exchanged cherishes with Zhong Yan and Fang Bao'er, and wants to take Fang Zhong down the mountain.

In the middle of the river at the foot of the mountain, a large boat leaned against the shore, and dozens of people came down from the boat, each with a sword in his hand.

One said: "There is a small village on the mountain, maybe there is something that the altar owner wants." ”

The leader was burly and extremely ugly, waved the ghost head knife in his hand, and laughed: "I finally found a place where there are people again." Little ones, show me carefully, no one above is allowed to let go. The people who followed him agreed in unison, and under the leadership of this man, they rushed to the mountain.
