Chapter 21: The facsimile is missing

When Fang Zhong returned to his residence, the building was empty. Qian Wenyi is entangled in mundane affairs, and he must be busy because of this oath meeting, so it is not surprising that he is not in the building at the moment. Fang Zhong first went back to the house to change into clean clothes, and then went out to the Sword Casting Hall in Liquan. It was the place where the two Taoist masters, Puxuan and Dingguan, had been arranged.

When I came to the hall in front of the Sword Casting Hall, the disciples there were no longer casting swords, and only a few people were left in the furnace that was high and exuded residual warmth. From the traces left on the ground, you can see how fierce the original fire was. Fang Zhong first found a disciple to inquire about Liu Yimei's whereabouts, and the disciple went in to pay homage, and soon Liu Yimei came out of it. I saw that he was wearing a green cloth robe, with long eyebrows and straight eyebrows, and he looked more and more jīng, and when he saw Fang Zhong, he said happily: "When did Senior Brother Fang come out?" I only heard that you were punished and went to Houshan to think about it, but you didn't expect to come to me. ”

Fang Zhongdao: "It's only three months, and it's gone by in a blink of an eye, and I don't feel it." ”

Liu Yimei shook his head and said: "You are actually too short, if it were me, three days would be too long, and I also know a little about you, this kind of thing should also be punished for three months?" ”

Fang Zhongdao: "As soon as I came out, I heard that there was a pledge meeting in this faction, and senior brother knew a thing or two. ”

Liu Yimei said: "This matter has been spread all over the world, how can I not know." However, this kind of major event is not up to you and me, so I am afraid that I will not be able to help myself, and if I have to be in it and set myself on fire, then there will be a lot of trouble and danger. ”

Fang Zhong said: "I didn't come here for such a big thing. When the younger brother returned to the mountain this time, he brought back two Taoist priests, and at that time, Master Lu arranged for him to come to this sword casting hall to come and take a look. ”

Liu Yimei smiled and said: "The two Dao Masters you said are indeed here, because of Senior Brother Fang, I have taken care of the senior brothers everywhere to make it more convenient." Now these two are wide-hearted and fat, and they are much richer than when they came, so I will take Senior Brother Fang there. ”

Liu Yimei led the way, and ran to the sword room behind the Sword Hall. There were also several rooms in that sword room now, and the finished or semi-finished sword embryos were all stored here, although Fang Zhong had been here once, he didn't know which room these two were in. It is really too big a place, especially this time the sword casting hall has cast many more swords, many of which are stored here, and several houses have been expanded, and there are five finished sword rooms.

The two of them were trying to find Pu Xuan and Dingguan one by one, but they heard the sound of beating and scolding coming from one of the sword rooms. A voice said: "You are younger than me, of course you are my nephew." The other said, "I am higher than you, so you should call me uncle." The other said: "You call your mother sister, and I will call you uncle." The other angrily said, "You! Who is the seniority! Even if you are younger than you, as long as you are higher in seniority, you are your elders, and you have never heard of only age and seniority. Now I will teach you as an elder! A man's screams were heard from inside.

As soon as Fang Zhong heard this person's voice, he knew that it was Na Lai Pi Zhang, why he was being bullied again, and hurriedly followed the sound to find the room, only to see two Taoists standing, and a thin Taoist lying on the ground. It was Nalai Pizhang who was lying on the ground and howling, and the two who were standing were actually the two Taoist masters of Na Pu Xuan and Dingguan.

"Stop!" Fang Zhong hurriedly shouted. Pu Xuan and Dingguan didn't expect someone to come at this time, Pu Xuanwu stretched out his hand to fight, but before he could fight, he was already screaming again and again. Meditation is like a spectator, neither to persuade nor to help Puxuan. The two looked back and saw that it was Fang Zhong, and hurriedly stopped. Pu Xuanxi said: "Fang Zhong!? You're here just in time, tell this bastard who is the junior. Pu Xuan pointed his hand at Lai Pi Zhang. Na Lai Pi Zhang was still dead just now, with an unbeaten expression, seeing Fang Zhong at this time, it was like seeing a savior, he wiped his hand on his face, and the tears came down by himself, crying: "This fat Taoist priest, if he doesn't say it's my uncle, I won't call him to beat me, how can there be such an arrogant person in the world." Obviously, I'm old, and seeing that I have a thin beard, let me be a junior, which doesn't mean to bully people. Pu Xuan said angrily: "Who said that the beard is thin, you are the junior, you want to be the eldest brother of Fang Zhong, in terms of seniority, I am the two older than you, shouldn't I be called uncle?" The two of them were noisy, but they actually quarreled because of the issue of seniority.

Fang Zhong helped Lai Pizhang up and said softly, "Is it because of this matter that the Dao Chief is causing a conflict? ”

Lai Pi said with a sad face: "Not only that, since these two people came, everything has been against me, I said that they have to face west, I said to go alone, he has to come with two people, but he doesn't do anything, let me do it alone, it's really bitter!" Pu Xuan scolded: "You also said that if a person goes out secretly, he must be doing a bad thing, and people will take us as a lever when they come to the door, if it weren't for the face given by your fellow Daoists, I don't know how many times you have been involved." I don't care about villains, I think you're a junior to protect you, but you're still not happy, it's really a fight. When Pu Xuan said this, his face was crooked. The two of them each said their own reasoning, and even Fang Zhong was confused.

The fixed view on the side leaned over to Fang Zhong's ear and whispered: "This Daoist touched the little silver tael that the senior brother hid, and went to the dining room to exchange the wine money, only saying that he was inviting the two of us, and after eating, the senior brother realized that he had lost the silver." The senior brother often said that if there is no hope of seeking the truth, he will take this bit of silver to return the vulgar and go to the concubine, but now that the silver is gone, the back road is broken, and he is angry. It is not possible to let Zhang Daoren repay the silver, and said that we have all eaten this wine, and we can't let him go out alone, at most we invite him. The senior brother was angry, so he said that he would invite him, but he had to let Zhang Daoren call him uncle, but Zhang Daoren said that how could there be a master and nephew to invite his nephew, only the reason for his nephew to invite his uncle, so he quarreled. In fact, the two of them often quarrel, and I am no longer surprised. ”

Fang Zhong suddenly realized, if he got to the bottom of it, it turned out that Pu Xuan had suffered a little loss, no wonder Pu Xuan was so angry, he met a person who was more dead-faced than him, he looked aggrieved, and he always said that he was a weak person, he couldn't fight, he couldn't scold, and it was difficult not to get angry. Fang Zhong knows that Lai Pi Zhang xìngzi, that is a master who lets you go back and forth, I will go to the sky from my ass to the sky, and I will give up my flesh and skin, and I will be greedy for a while.

Fang Zhong said: "For such a trivial matter, it hurts and makes trouble, isn't it good to talk about the same generation, why should the two Taoist leaders bother about this matter." Lai Pi said: "Since Brother Fang said so, I will suffer a little loss, and I won't care about you." Fang Zhong smiled and said, "That's right, I'll persuade the Taoist chief to go." Fang Zhong came to Pu Xuan, and before he could speak, Pu Xuan came over and said anxiously: "This Lai Pi Zhang not only stole my silver, but also touched the copy I copied for you, and I was about to interrogate him properly, so you came." ”

Fang Zhong was taken aback, the copy was the Tianzi recipe given by Zhang Daoling, how could he lose it!?
