Twenty years have passed.

At this time, the Xuanyuan Continent is in early summer, and Zhongnan Mountain is like a fairyland on earth, attracting many tourists.

Chongyang Palace is located in the middle of Zhongnan Mountain, in the Zhongnan Mountain as many as a cow's hair in the Taoist temple, is not big, but the most famous, here is after all the last stop before the Taoist ancestor became an immortal.

Along the mountain road made of bluestone slabs, walk for an hour, you can see the mountain gate of Chongyang Palace several meters high, the color is already yellow, but if you look carefully, you can vaguely distinguish the color of vermilion, not far from entering the mountain gate, you can see the main hall of Chongyang Palace, it is early in the morning, from the main hall, a pair of masters and apprentices are running out in a panic.

Wearing a white coarse cloth gown, the little Taoist priest Twilight was running and carrying his pants, about 20 years old, although Twilight was dressed in a simple way, but the long one was following the trend, white and tender skin, and the facial features were full of three-dimensionality, so that many pilgrims who went to Chongyang Palace to enter the incense thought that it was a little star who went to the Taoist Temple to experience life, at this time his footsteps were obviously a little unable to keep up with his master, so he shouted to the master in a panic: "Master, you wait for me, my pants are not worn yet." ”

The middle-aged man who was called the master by the little Taoist priest looked panicked, and he didn't mean to wait for twilight, but just turned around and shouted at twilight. "Pants are important or life is important, I said are you stupid?"

Twilight muttered something aggrieved. "You also taught you to be stupid."

The master of twilight is the real person. At this time, he is already middle-aged, and now he looks at Zixu, he really looks like a fairy, but he is more like a farmer who is going to the market, and he is still carrying two packages, one large and one small.

The more Zixu looks at the twilight, the more stupid he becomes, for so many years, he always has the illusion that he has been fooled by his ancestors, is this extraordinary thing stupid and extraordinary?

The two ran along the bluestone mountain road for more than an hour, Zixu finally didn't know what his physical strength was, there were piles of stones on both sides of the mountain road, Zixu panted and waved his hands, sat on the stones, and said to Twilight:

"Don't run, don't run, don't let people die, until you die of exhaustion."

"Master, is that Spirit Bundle Master really that powerful? Why scare you like this? Twilight was a little disappointed in Master Zixu, and her expression was slightly depressed.

"What did I scare me out of? I am the head of Chongyang Palace, the authentic descendant of the Daomen, and the first-line master of the spiritual cultivation world, will I be afraid of him as a soul master of unknown origin? Zixu looked impassioned and upright, but suddenly changed his words and calmed down. By the way, do you know what a beam spirit master does? ”

Twilight shook her head with her big watery eyes. "I don't know, this name is still the one I just heard from you before."

Zixu looked full of pride, straightened his waist, took the gourd he carried with him, drank a few sips of water, and pointed to the twilight like a storyteller.

"Tell you, listen up! Soul Binding Master is a kind of evil profession in our spiritual cultivation world, of course, compared to the demon path and demon path that you are more familiar with, they are not so unconscionable, they mainly catch lonely souls and wild ghosts, and then refine these soul bodies. ”

Twilight still stared at Zixu with an expectant look, but after Zixu introduced the spirit master, he didn't seem to have any intention of saying more.

After a while, Twilight continued to ask Zixu. "Master, but you still haven't said it, why were you scared of this virtue by that soul binder?"

Zixu looked annoyed with twilight: "Hey! "Yes." Why do you have such a good memory? Hurry up, this place is not suitable for a long time. ”

Zixu put away the gourd, pulled the twilight and continued to run forward.

At the same time, a middle-aged man in his 40s, looking sloppy, stood motionless in the center of the backyard of Chongyang Palace, stepping on a dazzling magic circle spell, which seemed to be temporarily sealed.

Twilight ran with Zixu for a long time, and suddenly remembered a very important question. "Master, do you know the way? We're not going to get lost, are we? ”

Zixu glanced at the twilight. "Nonsense, are you as stupid as you are? After running for a while, we will arrive at Yongan Town, and the two of us will settle in the town first. ”

Twilight let out an audible "oh".

Yong'an Town is the closest town to Zhongnan Mountain, and because it is close to Zhongnan Mountain, there are many tourists passing through here. The town is also planned to develop tourism. The bluestone streets and retro house buildings make modern tourists enter the street, and there is always a feeling of being in a film and television city. Moreover, the town has all the supporting facilities, and the special snacks are all over the street, so it looks very prosperous.

As soon as the master and apprentice entered the town, they were attracted by a street steamed bun stall at dusk, and a drawer of steamed buns just opened the drawer, and the fragrance filled the whole street. Twilight tugged at the corner of Zixu's clothes with her saliva in her mouth. "Master, I'm hungry, in fact, I was hungry when I first went out, and now I've been running for almost three hours."

In fact, Zixu was even hungrier, and he had a fight with a very powerful soul master before, so he pulled twilight towards the bun stall. "It's time to get something to eat, let's go!"

The two walked into the bun stall, and the boss warmly welcomed the two to sit down.

"What are the two guest officers eating? We have all kinds of stuffed buns, as well as all kinds of side dishes. ”

Twilight was about to speak, but the quilt took the lead.

"Which kind of bun is the cheapest, just half a catty!"

"Okay, wait a minute!"

After the boss walked away, Twilight blinked in some confusion. "Master, did you forget to order me?"

Zixu glared at Twilight with some annoyance, and slapped all the money in his pocket on the table.

"We have a total of this amount of money, if we don't want to eat every day in the future, we can only eat so little for each meal."

After a while, half a catty of buns was served to the table by the boss, Zixu quickly grabbed three in his hand, Twilight was just about to reach out, but was stepped on by Zixu, Twilight screamed in pain, and then subconsciously rubbed his feet, just a few seconds, the buns in Zixu's hand have been eaten, and finally, Twilight barely ate a little more than one or two, basically the same as not eating, pitifully pursed his mouth at Zixu.

Zixu looked at Twilight's appearance and smiled unconsciously, and then shouted to the boss:

"Boss, come back to half a catty, and settle the account!"

The boss brought another half a pound of buns. "You have a total of one pound of buns, a total of 20 pieces"

"20?"

Zixu suddenly had a feeling of being deceived, but Twilight had already unceremoniously begun to gobble up the buns.

This meal of steamed buns seriously exceeded Zixu's previous budget, and now he can only save on accommodation, Zixu handed the money to the boss distressedly, and asked politely:

"I'm sorry, boss, let me ask you, are there any deserted houses or dilapidated temples in this town where you can spend the night?"

The boss was just about to talk, but Zixu suddenly heard someone calling him in the distance, and his voice was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Zixu stood up in wonder and looked for the source of the sound, he hadn't been to Yong'an Town a few times, how could anyone still know him, but Twilight didn't care so much, and continued to eat steamed buns with relish.

The person named Zixu looked a little older than Zixu, and he was accompanied by a child about the same size as Twilight. After Zixu was full of curiosity and saw the person who came clearly, his face suddenly became ugly, and at the same time he muttered unconsciously in a low voice. "Why is this person so annoying, he can't hide from it."

The person who came was called Fuyuan, who was Zixu's senior brother when he was practicing in Qingyu Pavilion, when Zixu was still in Qingyu Pavilion, because he was lazy and stupid, so except for a few brothers who were good with him, basically no one looked down on him, and this Fuyuan was the most excessive one.

Zixu hurriedly made a quiet gesture to the boss who wanted to reply to him, and the boss was unwilling to deal with a poor ghost like him who was distressed even for spending 20 yuan, so he continued to bow his head and work on himself.

Fuyuan walked to Zixu's side with a smile on his face, pretended to hug Zixu's fist, and said in a flirtatious tone:

"Senior brother! It's a coincidence that I met you here! You still know me, you're too uninteresting, how did you say you left back then, you didn't even say hello, you don't know how much your senior brother has missed you in the past 20 years. ”

Zixu didn't speak, but smiled helplessly at Fuyuan. Fu Yuan didn't seem to see Zixu's dislike for him at all, and continued to say to himself: "I heard that you have become the head of Chongyang Palace?" It's really promising, and those who are senior brothers are a little ashamed. ”

At this moment, the young man beside Fuyuan suddenly interjected. "Master, as far as I know, there seem to be only two people left in Chongyang Palace now, is there a difference between the head and the gatekeeper?"

Fuyuan pretended to be angry and pushed his apprentice. "Go! What nonsense is telling the truth. Then he smiled at Zi pretending to be embarrassed. I'm sorry, junior brother, my apprentice is not very sensible, don't be like him. After speaking, he shouted at his apprentice. Chu Feng, don't hurry up and salute your uncle, it's not big or small, wait until you go back, and see how I clean you up. ”

Chu Feng bowed to Zixu very exaggeratedly, and at the same time deliberately lengthened his tone and said, "Say hello to Uncle Shi." Zixu smiled at Chu Feng very helplessly, and then said to Fuyuan: "Senior brother, I'm sorry, I'm still in a bit of a hurry, I'll leave first!" ”

Zixu didn't wait for Fuyuan to respond, beckoned to Twilight, who was still sitting at the table eating buns, and was about to leave, but Fuyuan grabbed Zixu very uninterestingly.

"Senior brother, don't go! Senior brother came to Zhongnan Mountain to see you this time, so you entertained me like this? After speaking, he carefully looked at the twilight who walked towards Zixu, pointed to the twilight and asked Zixu. Who is this fool, the mentally retarded child you adopted? ”

Zixu was completely furious when he heard this, it didn't matter what he was said, but he would never allow others to talk about his apprentice.

Zixu glared at Fuyuan angrily, his whole body began to tremble, and he gritted his teeth and returned to Fuyuan: "This is my apprentice Twilight, he is not mentally retarded, he is smarter than anyone else, but some villains with eyes and beads can't see it." ”

After speaking, Zixu broke free from Fuyuan's pull, dragged Twilight and left. Fu Yuan was not angry, but pointed to Zixu's back and said to Chu Feng, "See? What kind of master brings what kind of apprentice. ”

"Yes, Master, that Twilight is indeed smart compared to Uncle Zixu, and what Uncle Zixu said is right."

Fu Yuan laughed after hearing this. "How did I forget this stubble, hey! Let's go! It seems that this time, we don't have to go to Chongyang Palace, and we are not welcomed. ”

"Oh, Master, look at Uncle Zixu's poor and sour appearance, I guess I have already sold the property!"

"I think so, let's find a place to live first, play in Yongan Town for two days and then go back, just come to travel, I don't want to carry back the tens of thousands of dollars in my bag."
