Chapter 8: My Servant Has a Problem
Zhang Bai followed the black shadow in front of him and went all the way north.
Most of the main buildings of the East Prince's Mansion are built on the southern slope of the East Barren Mountain, one layer after another along the mountain.
At the bottom are the mountain gates and guest halls, which are responsible for receiving guests. The upper layer is the outer gate, the outer gate building is vast, around the main peak east and west south three sides of the mountain, forming the first guard.
The outer gate along the main road is the Qingyun Palace, which is a place for deliberations. Outside the hall are inner doors on both sides, the east slope is male disciples, and the west slope is female disciples. Form a second line of guards.
The inner door goes up again, is the Sanqing Palace, and on both sides is the residence of the elders. The elders live here, one is to guard the three clears, and the other is to guard the heavenly pillar at the top of the peak. Form the last line of guard.
The peak of the East Barren Mountain is the place where the Tianzhu and the Tongque Platform are located, and the Tongque Platform is the foundation of the Tianzhu, which is made of fine copper as a whole with the Tianzhu. If the pillar is shattered today, this place has become a forbidden place, and the elders are heavily conscious, monitoring here day and night.
The northern slope of the East Barren Mountain is a cliff with a height of 10,000 feet. Everywhere there are knives and axes, strange rocks are craggy, and the sun does not reach, and the wind is howling all day long.
This place is not inhabitable at all, and it is impossible to pass, and it is usually inaccessible, and even birds and beasts are very rare.
Zhang Bai wondered in his heart, most of the immortals in the Kunlun Wonderland, who was so sneaky at night?
I saw the black shadow walking all the way and stopping, looking back from time to time, and gradually arrived at the Fenghui Pavilion. This Fenghui Pavilion is a small mountain pavilion, is the end of the east slope of the outer gate, and the north slope is separated by a crack of more than 2 meters wide, the crack is deep and bottomless, and it is called Wat Chaotian here.
The black shadow bypassed the wind and returned to the pavilion and did not enter, but hid behind a boulder outside the pavilion, and Zhang Bai also hid in a bush, lying on the ground and not daring to move. He was a little anxious, not knowing how long the man would hide.
Turning his left wrist slightly, he looked at the rugged watch on his wrist, and with a slight press of his right hand, the words on the watch glowed faintly, and it was 12:30 p.m.
This watch was brought to this world together when he traveled, and it was out of power after a year, but he insisted on repairing it, training his thunderbolt skills again and again, controlling the power to charge slowly, and soon it succeeded, which has been used until now.
At this moment, the black shadow suddenly jumped out from behind the stone, rushed quickly to the crack in the sky, jumped to the edge of the cliff, jumped to the north slope on the opposite side, and suddenly lay still, as if monitoring the way to track.
When he saw the black shadow suddenly leaping north, Zhang Bai was startled and almost rushed out of the grass. At this time, when he saw that the situation was not right, he hurriedly lay down and did not move, and he couldn't help but admire the other party's caution in his heart.
After another ten minutes, the black shadow seemed to finally make sure that there was no one behind him, stood up, and climbed to the cliff on the north slope, actually to the peak.
Zhang Bai knew that his skills were insufficient, so he didn't dare to climb casually on the north slope, so he quickly went to check the boulder. I didn't think there would be anything in my heart, I just looked at it casually.
I saw that there were some larger stones behind the boulders, piled up in a mess, and it was really hard to find those who didn't know. He turned over a few rocks, revealing a small cloth bag.
He picked up the cloth bag and took a closer look, and couldn't help but be surprised, thinking, "Isn't this a Qiankun bag?"
The so-called Qiankun bag is a common thing used by many immortal masters, in short, it is a wallet. However, this wallet has too many things that can be placed, and the items will not be corrupted after being placed, which is equivalent to a portable space in another dimension.
This thing is worth a lot, at least tens of thousands of spirit beads, and ordinary disciples can't afford it at all. Even if he is a rich disciple, no one will sell him if he wants to buy it.
Zhang Bai was secretly happy in his heart, who is this? Throwing wealth everywhere, I have to help clean it up.
He had seen others use the bag before, so he bit his finger and wiped the blood on the rope that tied the bag, and the mouth of the bag was loosened.
He put his finger in it, and found that it was useless, and after thinking about it, he used his divine sense to extract it, and this time it worked. Sure enough, there were some things in the bag, and I saw more than 20 spirit beads first, as well as a few talismans, and when I took it out, I didn't know what it was for, so I put it back again. The rest was a large bag of trousers, a dark gray robe with a hood, and countless symbols and incantations written on the inside of the robe.
There was also a set of tunics and trousers that looked like those worn by servants, and they were still a little warm when they were touched by their hands, apparently they had just been changed.
Zhang Bai felt familiar with this servant's clothes, and no matter how he looked at it, he thought it was impossible? He really couldn't associate the honest and loyal appearance of the old servant with the sneaky black shadow.
He carefully flipped through the suit again, but unexpectedly a shiny thing fell out, and when he picked it up, it turned out to be a bracelet. The style of this bracelet is ordinary, and the material is also ordinary, which is made of ordinary white jade. There is a subtle pattern on it, which seems to be a charm.
He took it in his hand and looked at it, and tried to put it on his wrist again. This one, I suddenly found that there was an aura flowing through my wrist instantly, this aura was not majestic, but it shrouded the whole body, and it seemed to be a defensive spiritual weapon.
Zhang Bai liked it very much, but in the end he picked it up, so he didn't dare to wear it on his hand openly, so he put the jade bracelet in his arms and continued to check the clothes.
Sure enough, in the corner of the clothes, he saw a black embroidered "Zhang" character, at this time the mark of Zhang's clothes.
The evidence is conclusive, that is, Zhang Di, "There is something wrong with my servant!"
Zhang Bai searched the host's memory and knew that Zhang Di was indeed an old servant of the Zhang Mansion for many years. The host has known her for as long as she can remember. However, I don't know anything else, because the host is young and the memories are too vague.
An old servant who runs to the north slope in the middle of the night and goes straight to the top of the peak is very strange in itself. What's more, the north slope is difficult to climb, but he is not afraid, where does this self-cultivation come from?
Thinking of this, Zhang Bai made up his mind that he couldn't watch the black shadow run away, he had to keep up and see if it was Zhang Di?
He stuffed everything except the bracelet back into the bag, tied the rope at the mouth of the bag to his belt, jumped off the boulder, and rushed to the gap in the cliff along the path of the black shadow.
The cliffs on the north slope are unusually steep and rocky, and even if you climb up, you don't know if you can get down.
Zhang Bai looked at the steep wall, a little stunned, but he was eager to find out, after all, Zhang Di is the person who accompanies him day and night, if he has a different heart, it is really dangerous.
Thinking of this, he turned his heart sideways, anyway, there is nothing important except death, he has already died once, even if it is finished this time, it is earned.
Zhang Bai, who was a fashionable young man in his previous life, often played in the climbing gym in order to maintain his figure, and he was very familiar with the tricks inside. The most important thing in rock climbing is to find the right foothold, and the more familiar you are with the route, the faster you can climb.
So he gathered his qi in the dantian, worked hard to turn, and tried his best to transport the spiritual energy around the eye socket to enhance his eyesight, and then looked at it.
Although it was dark night, he could see the black shadow, Zhang Bai was not in a hurry to catch up, but just watched him climb, remembering the location of his foothold, while observing the situation of the mountain and rocks, and calculating the best route to climb the mountain.
I saw the black shadow climbing slowly but skillfully, obviously very familiar with the terrain, climbed to a height of more than twenty zhang from the starting point, and suddenly disappeared.
