Chapter VIII Entourage
The three of them walked the remote path, and soon came to the beast riding shed, and when they saw the two Taoists who were guarding the beast pen, Fang Zhong greeted: "The two Taoist masters are good. Seeing that it was Fang Zhong, the two Daoists smiled and said, "Who is my Dao, it turns out that the little master is here." "Erdao knows that Fang Zhong is now in the Jade Void Palace, which is a very respectful place, and he usually can't come to the door, but he didn't expect him to come by himself, of course, he is very attentive. Fang Zhongdao: "Today I want to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and drink with the two Taoist masters." Raise the jug in your hand. Erdao said with a raised brow: "How dare you do this, the little master is really polite." "Lead the three into the hut.
Lai Pizhang rolled his eyes and said, "This wine is mine, you two need to ask me first if you want to eat white food." The two Taoists didn't know Lai Pizhang and asked, "Who is this senior brother?" Before Fang Zhong could reply, Lai Pi Zhang hurriedly said, "Who are you two 'dog' senior brothers?" This was said quickly, and the front teeth were broken, and he couldn't hold back the wind, and the words were blurred when he spit out, and the word dog was vague. Seeing that he was older, the two Daoists said respectfully: "In Xia Hu Yi and Hu Lan, the two brothers, have seen this teacher-" Fang Zhong was afraid that Lai Pi Zhang would care about what Senior Brother Dog would care about, so he hurriedly interjected: "What came with me is my old brother, and the two Daoist Masters don't need to be called any teacher, just like me, call him Brother Zhang." Erdao hurriedly said: "I've seen Brother Zhang." Lai Pi turned his face into joy, nodded and said, "Even if you have a share, you are not allowed to call me senior brother in the future." The two Taoists met Liu Yimei again, sat on the edge of the bed, and took the tea cup they usually used to drink. Fortunately, there were a little peanuts and snacks hidden at the head of the bed, and when I took it out, I didn't have to worry about having nothing to drink.
As soon as a few cups fell down, the more words were spoken. The two Daoists didn't drink well, and they blushed and said with a big tongue: "I'm afraid he is the only one from the Yuxu Palace Gate who is willing to mix with a firehead Daoist like us like Brother Fang." When my two brothers also stayed in the Sanqing Hall for a while, they saw a lot of people who tended to be inflammatory, and flattered and patted horses, which was even more rare. You see those disciples who come and go, all of them are above the top, commanding, never take us in their eyes, and only Brother Fang is so elegant that he is willing to drink with us. Lai Pi said: "That's a good thing, I saw from the first time I saw him that Brother Fang was a person who was not bound by his identity, so he was willing to deign to make friends, and this Brother Liu's character was even worse." Liu Yimei shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he didn't refute him, poured himself a bowl, and tasted it alone. Fang Zhong said with a smile: "You and I are ordinary laymen, how can we distinguish between dignity and inferiority, I have also done this errand of riding the beast shed, what does it matter if others look down on it, as long as you are happy." When Senior Brother Zhou and I stayed here, no one came, and I don't know how happy we were. Speaking of Zhou Qing, I couldn't help but think that it would be nice if Zhou Qing was also there, and sighed: "It's a pity that Senior Brother Zhou is not here, I don't know how he is in Sanqing Palace?" Liu Yimei was just lonely, he and Lai Pi didn't talk more than half a sentence, and Erdao also drank a lot and talked less, after hearing this, he stood up and said: "Why don't I go to Sanqing Hall to find Zhou Qing, everyone drinks together is even more lively." Fang Zhongxi said: "Then there is Senior Brother Lao Liu." Lai Pi Zhang also said: "Go quickly, go quickly." Liu Yimei turned around and went to the Sanqing Hall to find Zhou Qing.
As soon as Liu Yimei left, Lai Pizhang hurriedly picked up the wine jar, poured it full for everyone's bowl, and said, "Before anyone comes, let's drink it up quickly, otherwise we will have to share it again." Fang Zhong persuaded: "But there is one more person, why be so stingy." Lai Pi said with a bitter face: "This is in exchange for your old brother's flesh and skin, but you use it to be a good person, it really doesn't hurt people's hearts." Fang Zhong said: "Only this once, don't take it as an example, it's also good for the old brother to know a few more friends, this time I lost the wine, next time people ask you to pay it back, it's not another profit." "It makes sense for Lai Pizhang to think about it, they don't drink a lot of alcohol, but they can drink it themselves, and they drink half of the two wine cans, if everyone invites him, it is also like this, of course, they make a lot of money. turned worry into joy, and said cheekily: "Brother Fang's words are reasonable, everyone drinks wine, but you can't be too stingy." This time I invited you to drink, and next time you will invite me to drink, so I can't rely on it. "I want it would be better if there were a few more people, anyway, I only have such a little wine, and if I drink it all, I don't have it, and one more person owes myself a drink, which is really worth it.
The four of them waited in the hut for Liu Yimei and Zhou Qing to arrive, and they waited for a long time but there was no one. Lai Pi said: "Is your senior brother afraid that I will ask him to have a treat, so he deliberately didn't come." Fang Zhong shook his head and said, "No, maybe I really don't have time to get out." He turned his head and asked the two Taoists, "Has the Sanqing Palace been busy recently?" Then Hu Yi said: "I haven't heard anything about the Sanqing Palace, but there is one thing that is strange?" Fang Zhong said: "What's strange?" Hu Yi said: "The beast riding shed usually doesn't even have a figure, but a few days ago, Uncle Lu of the Sanqing Palace brought a mount and said that he would ride it soon, let us take good care of it." Brother Fang, think about it, he is the head of the Sanqing Palace, what kind of mount does he need to use when he doesn't work in the Sanqing Palace, isn't it strange? I think Uncle Lu wants to go down the mountain. Fang Zhong remembered that Lu Wenfu's original mount was bitten to death by his own hideous beast, and he personally sent the mount to the beast riding shed this time, didn't he want to do anything bad to the beast, so he suddenly changed color and asked, "Didn't Uncle Lu come here to do anything else?" The two Taoists shook their heads and said, "No, he took care of us and left, and he was in a hurry, as if he had other important matters." Fang Zhong put his mind at ease and said, "Uncle Lu has added a new mount, so it's not strange. ”
Just as he was about to go out to see how the hideous beast was, he heard Liu Yimei's voice say loudly outside: "Senior Brother Fang, my brother has no time to accompany you, so I have to hurry back to the sword room." Fang Zhong hurriedly replied: "Why are you in such a hurry, isn't it good to drink this bowl of wine?" "Get up and look outside the door.
I saw Liu Yimei and said with excitement on his face: "Brother Zhou Qing is not here either, just because I just learned a big thing from him, so I have to rush back to the sword room, but I am afraid that I will regret it if I go late." Fang Zhong was surprised: "What's the big deal?" Liu Yimei said: "The master of the sect has passed down the decree, and I want to send capable disciples from all over the country to go down the mountain, I think the opportunity is rare, and I must ask Master Ken to take me there, so as to have a good experience." Fang Zhong said: "Senior Brother Zhou is also going down the mountain?" Liu Yimei shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, he said that he is also trying his best to ask for help, but it is difficult for junior disciples such as me to have a chance, so let the senior brothers take the lead." That's why I'm going back in a hurry, so I can fight for a head as soon as possible. Fang Zhong said dejectedly: "I also want to go down the mountain, but there are too many people in the Jade Void Palace to beat the junior brother, of course it will not be my turn." Liu Yimei also felt that Fang Zhong's hope of going down the mountain was quite difficult to realize, and persuaded: "Something may happen when you go down the mountain this time, so it's better for you to stay in the palace with peace of mind." Senior Brother Fang, I can go first, you tell a few Taoist leaders, and I will accompany you with one eyebrow. He spread his legs and ran in the direction of the sword room.
Fang Zhong returned to the hut and talked to Lai Pi Zhang about what Liu Yimei said, and Lai Pi Zhang bluntly called it a pity, just to miss the opportunity to invite him to drink. Fang Zhong knew that he had no hope of going down the mountain, so he didn't care about it, and drank the rest of the wine with the three of them. Lai Pi opened his mouth full of wine and said: "It's really happy, it's really good for people to drink more." There is a saying: One person drinks to make his intestines sad, two people drink to increase his affection, and three people and four people are drunk and break their bowels. In the past, I always drank secretly by myself, which was really sad and difficult to entertain. No one will drink from this day on. The two Taoists also said yes in a row, and picked up the drunken Lai Pi Zhang and sent it to the door. Fang Zhongdao: "Can the old brother go back alone?" Do you want me to send you? Lai Pi turned his head and said, "How can this little wine get drunk on me, Brother Fang don't worry, I'll go back by myself." If you send me, you will look down on your brother. "Really limped back. Fang Zhong shook his head and said to the two Daoists, "I'll also go to the beast pen to see my dog." Erdao said: "Of course, we have raised it well during this time, and it is not so fierce." Seeing that Fang Zhong went to open the beast pen again, he was afraid after all, so he hid in the hut and closed the firewood door.
Fang Zhong entered the fence and comforted the hideous beast, naturally it was difficult to give up, and the sun was setting on the straight road, so he reluctantly left the beast riding shed and separated from the two roads.
As soon as I returned to the small building, I met Qian Wenyi. Qian Wenyi asked: "Where did you go, I didn't come back until this time, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Fang Zhong was stunned and said, "Wait for me?" Qian Wenyi said: "Yes, you pack up immediately and go down the mountain with me." Fang Zhong almost thought that his ears had heard it wrong, and he said, "Disciple...... Do you also have a share of going down the mountain? ”
