51. Descend the mountain
Didn't go to work all day.
In the past, Zhu Zi had never been so tired and lazy, and at that time, he was still worried about his father and mother and a group of younger siblings at home, and he never dared to rest a little, and he never thought about finding any benefits for himself. He was reluctant to add some food to himself in the mountain gate. The small plate of beef that the glutinous rice put on him in the morning was something he hadn't eaten for a long time. Every time there is a big festival or a visit from another faction in this mountain gate, a plate of vegetables or meat will be added to the miscellaneous disciples and body cultivators below.
No matter how sad he is, he can't make the child worry and be sad with him.
The fellow who cheated him for money, he didn't want to see it for the time being. He was afraid that he couldn't bear it anymore and would beat people to death. Although one of the nine deaths of that man's sins could not be atoned, he still couldn't figure out whether he had the qualifications to grieve and be angry.
There is also a little girl who is said to have been sold into the kiln. He left the village in a trance, forgetting to inquire about the whereabouts of his little sister. No matter what, you can't let your little sister fall in that kind of cannibalistic place, so you have to redeem people and find an honest family to marry, so that you can feel at ease.
In recent years, there have been wars and droughts outside, and life has been very difficult, and many families have sold their children, but I am afraid it is not easy to inquire. He thought about the old fellow who had hidden his money in the past, and every time he brought him the news that his family was harmonious and happy, and his life was healthy, but he had added his younger siblings, and his mother was inconvenient to go to the field, so he was counting on him to work more and get more money for the family.
Looking back now, his mother is a diligent person, and after giving birth to a younger sibling and only sitting in confinement, she forced her to go down to the field to help harvest rice. Where is the daughter-in-law of this poor man's house to rest? It was only when he was young that he believed such a lie. I just buried my head in the city and didn't go home to take a look.
The money didn't go back home. But the most important thing now is not revenge, but the little sister.
He took out his identity jade card again, and looked at the contribution points accumulated on it. It's just that all the points he gets every month have been exchanged for silver and copper coins, and there is nothing left at all. His contribution points have always been changed out at the beginning of the month, and now he only has to save about a dozen points in the month, and the exchange of secular silver is only one tael of surplus money, which is not enough to go to the kiln to redeem people.
Besides, the whereabouts of the little sister also have to be inquired. He regretted that he should not have gone back to the mountain first.
He can't decide these things himself, and he doesn't have the ability, so he has to go back and tell his master, no matter what, he needs to go down the mountain again, and there is really no way to get the missing money, and he can only get it back from the fellow who kidnapped his money.
With this made up his mind, he exhaled slowly, stood up and walked out.
When the door was pushed, there was a faint noise of people on the side of the temple outside. He hadn't listened seriously to the transmission for a long time, and he didn't know what was going on over there. He doesn't care about that anymore.
It's the glutinous rice junior brother, who should still be in that place.
He was stunned, but he thought that this matter would not and could not be delayed for too long, and it was not good to talk to a little doll of glutinous rice, so he turned his head and left.
Qingquan Peak, the peak master of Qingquan Peak, is not on the peak at all times, and he has to go out to visit friends and meet guests, or go into the forbidden land of the mountains to find some wild elixirs left over from ancient times. If the disciples in the mountain gate need to contact the peak master, they will go to the side hall that specializes in raising winged tigers. Not only were there a few winged tigers in that side hall, but the beast taming disciples of Ziyoufeng also raised a low-level spirit beast called the Needle Bird, which could be used to transmit the news to the Qingming Zhenren.
The name of this needle bird has the word "needle" in it, and its body is as small and sharp as a needle. Standing quietly on the shoulder or wrist of the beast rider, he could barely make out a vague shadow as slender as a needle, shining silver and green. Once it flapped its wings and flew up, it was as fast as the wind, and even the shadow could not be seen.
The spirit animal of the needle bird is too low in rank to use human language. However, this kind of wind spirit beast has a ability, which can control the wind spirit to rub its wings, so as to simulate any sound. The beast rider is to play a wind trick on the needle bird, explain what he is going to say, and the needle bird will naturally be able to imitate it again. Then, as long as the breath of the object that needs to convey information is sniffed and rubbed by the needle bird, no matter the ends of the earth, people can be found.
For example, on Qingquan Peak, there is a low-level immortal stone that has been penetrated by Qingming real people all the year round for the needle bird to find people.
Zhuzi found a disciple of Ziyoufeng, and told him his thoughts. He didn't dare to say it carefully, only said that there was an urgent matter at home under the mountain, and he hoped to find time to go down the mountain so that he could solve his worries and fate.
Originally, the path of cultivation needed to break off the worldly relationship and ordinary thoughts, even if the world still had family members, it was just a random support or two, and it was no longer as worrying about it as in the mortal world. Zhuzi's words were vague, and he didn't want outsiders to know about the many changes in his family.
The Purple Youfeng disciple glanced at the pillar in confusion, but he didn't say anything, he muttered a few words in his heart, and then patted the needle bird standing on his shoulder, and repeated the words. Then as soon as he raised the immortal stone that had been dyed with the breath of Qingming real people in his hand, he released the needle bird and flew out.
This is the first time I've seen a needle bird on the pillar. If he used to ask a few words curiously, now he was worried about Shizun's reaction, so he didn't have the heart to think about any needles and birds, just rubbed his hands and stood there, secretly anxious.
The disciples of Purple Youfeng were actually very bored in the side hall. On weekdays, I just take care of fairy pets and some miscellaneous spirit beasts, and I don't dare to leave at will when I am free, for fear that someone will be in a hurry. Like now, when they should have gone to the Gong Transmission Hall to listen to the Gong Gong, they all had to stay in the side hall, and the three meals were brought in from outside. On weekdays, no one came to the side hall, and they were all in a panic. Finally seeing an ordinary disciple, those Ziyoufeng disciples gradually couldn't help it, and they started talking with the pillar.
"Why are you going down the mountain? There was a disaster and drought outside, but no disciple was willing to go down. ”
"At home...... Something. ”
The pillar didn't want to be too clear, so he replied evasively and scratched his head again. Those Purple Youfeng disciples muttered a few words, but they became more curious, and they kept asking and guessing around him. He was so embarrassed that he thought that his little sister didn't know where she was being bullied, so he felt bad, slowly clenched his fists, and stopped answering.
A few people discussed around the pillar, probably because they saw that the pillar didn't speak after all, and they felt bored again.
It just so happened that the needlebird that had been sent out flew back, and there was a long charm on its paws. The pillar wolfed away from those curiosities and inquiries, urging the beast rider to hurry up and listen to the master's reply. The beast rider snorted twice, but he was not embarrassed, and let the needle bird imitate the master's reply again.
Qingming Zhenren's reply was a little strange, and he groaned, saying that if the pillar could do things for the master in the future, he would go down the mountain at will this time. If you need money, you can withdraw it as long as it is not excessive. If you are willing, you will use the true yuan power to crush the spell, and the master will know it. The identity jade plate will also be marked with a mark, and it is better to go to some silver taels on credit.
The disciples of Ziyoufeng on the side were all envious, and they said that the pillar had a good master.
Although the pillar himself was also very strange, he didn't have so many random thoughts at this time. The whole thing was urgently needed, so he hurriedly crushed the charm, hurriedly thanked him, and stuffed the small half of the immortal stone that he had been hiding in the past to the beast rider who helped spread the word, and turned around and walked outside.
