Zhang Zhao went ashore, and Mo Junfeng and others also came closer. Gu Yan said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhang Zhao, you have caused a lot of trouble this time, Senior Sister Tian has made up her mind to knock you hard all the way." ”

Mo Junfeng looked at the lake and sighed: "Su Yan is right, it's really a good scenery here." He turned his head to Zhang Zhao and said, "Senior brother is really a blessing, we chief disciples are busy one by one, and we have to practice techniques in some time, but junior brother, you can have such a leisurely time." ”

Tian Yuqin suddenly realized when she heard this: "Senior Sister Mo, have you been here before, why didn't you tell me that there is such a good place?"

Mo Suyan replied softly: "I also heard my father say that there is a lake on this layer of our Lingxiao, and I came up to see it once a year ago. ”

Tian Yuqin was thinking about those delicious foods, she looked at Zhang Zhao and shouted: "Zhang Zhangzhao, why didn't you tell me yesterday, those things are only available to you?"

Zhang Zhao replied: "Those things were indeed sent to the back kitchen by Uncle Sha, I took them and sent them to Uncle Gu, and I didn't lie to you." ”

Tian Yuqin shook her hand: "Okay, okay, I don't listen to this, I'll ask you, do you still have those things?"

Zhang Zhao nodded: "Of course there is, I'll take some for my senior sister later." ”

Gu Yan smiled and said: "Senior Sister Tian, you are really unreasonable, what Uncle Fang said in the back kitchen just now is clear, those things were given to Senior Brother Zhang, I listen to what you mean, how can it seem that Senior Brother Zhang owes you?"

Tian Yuqin's face flushed: "The surname is Gu, you don't pretend to be a good person, I am discussing with Senior Brother Zhang, and I am not robbing him." She looked at Gu Yan and suddenly smiled: "You just want to set it up, so let him give you more in a while." ”

Zhang Zhao hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, all the senior brothers and sisters come with me, and I'll take some for everyone." ”

Seeing that there was nothing big about it, the little white monkey jumped on Zhang Zhao again, and the black-cheeked monkey fetched two buckets of water from the lake and followed Zhang Zhao in the direction of the small courtyard. Several young people watched this scene in amazement.

"Senior Brother Zhang, what's going on with these two monkeys?

Zhang Zhao talked about the origin of the monkey as he walked, and when everyone arrived at the small courtyard, Zhang Zhao took some cheese from the house, and dried meat from the backyard, and gave one to each person. Tian Yuqin held her share but looked at others in her hands: "Senior Sister Mo, why do I think you have more bags than mine?"

The next day, Zhang Zhao asked Lao Sha if he could bring more specialties up, and seeing that Lao Sha agreed without hesitation, the fat master smiled and said: "You old guy, I think you are still holding on to Zhang Zhao after five years." ”

Lao Sha smiled embarrassedly: "If Zhang Zhao was willing at that time, of course we wouldn't be able to ask for it." The fat master touched his chin and snorted: "You think beautifully, if that's the case, don't think about sending us away with some livestock milk tea." ”

Since then, Zhang Zhao has grilled more dried meat and big fish every time, waiting for those new acquaintances to pick it up. But as Mo Junfeng said, he, Gu Yan and Jiang Lei are almost not in Lingxiao, and they are running around for more than 20 days a month.

The three female disciples were very leisurely, and Tian Yuqin often brought Gu Xianrong Mo Suyan to Zhang Zhao to get some snacks to eat. Zhang Zhao felt that although this Senior Sister Tian was a little spicy, she was not bad, and she could often chat a few words. Gu Xianrong has always been cold and indifferent, while Mo Suyan smiled softly and occasionally said a few kind words. Zhang Zhao felt that it was good to go on like this, and it was nothing else for him to see Mo Suyan once in a few days.

The pair of shoe prints by the lake were trampled on by Tian Yuqin, Zhang Zhao also felt that it was more pleasing to see Mo Suyan himself, and when the kitchen did not kill the livestock on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he called a group of disciples of Zhu Liang and Li Zhong to play by the lake, grilled fish and ate meat, and then brought some for the disciples in the kitchen who could not come to taste, and slowly Liang Xiu and others, who were friends with Zhu Liang in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, also joined in.

In addition to the fact that there is still no progress in the Ten Thousand Souls Formula, Zhang Zhao is very satisfied with everything now, and the number of golden characters in his brain has increased to twenty, and Zhang Zhao gradually realized that every time the golden characters are made up into nine characters and a sentence, there will be more inexplicable uses for the generation of golden characters.

After these two golden characters appeared, as long as Zhang Zhao looked at anything intently, even if it was a subtlety that he usually couldn't notice at all, it would be clearly visible. Everything in front of him no longer has any dead ends, and everything he can see is in his heart.

Elder Gu's Qiankun Sword Technique has been taught, Zhang Zhao can't use it except for a few styles that stimulate the true qi on the knife, other moves are used freely, and after his eyesight improves, the angle of attack when fighting with Elder Gu has also become tricky, and Elder Gu has to pay a little attention.

On this day, Zhang Zhao got up and found that the weather outside was a little gloomy, he remembered that he had never had such weather since he entered Lingxiao for more than a year, and he heard everyone talking about it when he entered the back kitchen. At this time, Lao Sha hurriedly drove the livestock into the door.

"Fortunately, I finally went up the mountain before the rain, and you haven't seen rain once in a few years, and it's really rare to see it today. ”

Zhang Zhao then remembered that Lingxiao had really not rained in the past year. Hurriedly asked the fat master: "Fat master, why doesn't it rain in our Lingxiao?"

The fat master shook his head: "I don't know, but I haven't seen a few rains in the past few decades." ”

When carrying the food box up the mountain, rain fell from the sky, and when they entered the Yangxian Hall, the two monkeys shook the rain on their bodies vigorously. Zhang Zhao asked while serving the meal, "Elders, why doesn't it rain in our spirits?"

Everyone looked at Uncle Jiuling, and Sheng Jin asked, "Senior Brother Uncle, it seems that only you can answer this matter." ”

Shu Jiuling said with a smile: "Actually, I don't know, it may be that the mountains here are too high, and the rain can't come up, we have a snow roof on the Lingxiao, and the snow water flows down the peaks, and it doesn't matter if it rains or not." ”

Everyone was talking, Sheng Jin felt that something was falling overhead, and when he looked up, it was the roof leaking. There is no rain all year round, the four seasons are like spring, and the roofs of each hall and pavilion have not been repaired since they were built. Sheng Jin gave way to the side, only to have another leak dripping on his head.

"It seems that when it rains, the big head bears more than us. Deng Chun looked at this situation and laughed.

Zhang Zhao often went to repair the roof with Uncle Yuan, a carpenter, in the town, and he looked around, and found a narrow ladder from the side hall to the top of the hall, trying to find a leak and block it with something.

The wooden ladder creaked under his feet, Zhang Zhao slowly went up to the mezzanine floor of the top of the hall, he couldn't imagine how high there were two people between the roof and the roof of the Yangxian Hall, he slowly groped his way to the top of the main hall, and could clearly hear the chatter and laughter of the elders below.

Looking up at the leakage, Zhang Zhao wanted to find something to step on and plug it. He looked around and saw that there was a table and a bed in the corner, so he went up and dragged the table over.

The elders of the Yangxian Hall heard him tossing on the top of his head, Sheng Jin shouted: "Zhang Zhao, you don't have to worry about it, this rain will not happen once in a few years, it will be fine in a while, if you fall down and smash a hole in the roof, it will be a big trouble." ”

Zhang Zhao promised in his mouth, and wanted to step on the table to try it, but he only stepped on one foot, and the table fell crookedly, breaking into several pieces with a "bang".

"Zhang Zhao, are you okay?" There were voices from everyone asking below, and then Leng Pingyuan blamed: "Sheng Datou, you good mouth is not a bad spirit, let's talk less in the future." ”

Zhang Zhao promised loudly: "I'm fine, it's a table that collapsed." He was about to turn around and go down, when he found that there seemed to be something written on it among the broken pieces of wood on the ground, and if it weren't for his extraordinary eyesight, ordinary people would not have been able to find it.

Curious, he stepped forward to pick it up, and it was a sheepskin stacked on the table. He took the sheepskin and went down the ladder and shook off the dust on it, and the handwriting on it became clear.

"I am deeply gracious to my teacher, and I hope to achieve a ...... for my soul."

"Looking at the five elements here, it is really a ...... for heaven to help"

"I have learned this for more than 50 years. However, the source of the lake is blocked by the stone of Wanjun, and it cannot be opened by man. The waterfall cannot reproduce ....... ”

"Wake up, the vertical waterfall can appear, and the five elements are complete. And what is the starting thing......"

"A lifetime of hard thinking, all in vain...... ”

There were some fragmentary and strange words on this sheepskin, and Zhang Zhao was completely confused. He took the sheepskin into the Yangxian Hall, and the elders took turns to take it and read it, but they didn't have a clue.

Shu Jiuling couldn't see the handwriting, and after listening to Cheng Yanzi read it to him, he thought for a while: "It seems that it is my Lingxiao seniors who want to build some Five Elements Runic Array here, but it didn't succeed." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, Zhang Zhao took back the sheepskin and looked through it again, and found that there were some vague things on the back, and he didn't understand it after looking at it for a long time. Leng Pingyuan took it and looked at it: "This is the sketch of our layer, I have seen it before." This triangle is the Prayer Pavilion, and the circle next to it is the black meteorite boulder. ”

Leng Pingyuan looked at the graphics and explained to Zhang Zhao one by one: "In the middle is our Yangxian Hall, and the square here is the mountain road up the mountain. This is the lake, this big circle is the dense forest behind us, and this is the main peak of Lingxiao's snow. ”

Zhang Zhao saw this fresh thing for the first time, and picked it up and looked at it with relish: "Uncle Leng, what does it mean to draw a cross here?"

He pointed to a small cross next to the figure that just represented the lake and asked, "What is this place?"

Leng Pingyuan looked at it: "That's probably the water source that this senior said, I heard that there was a waterfall in our Lingxiao before, but it disappeared for hundreds of years, it seems that this senior has nothing to do." ”

The elders were not interested in the waterfall, and they didn't mention it again after saying a few words, but Zhang Zhao was very interested in this thing that he had never seen before, and packed up his things, Zhang Zhao went back to the backyard and sat quietly for a while, looking at the sheepskin in his hand and his heart was eager to try.

He looked at the weathering weather outside, and shouted to the equally bored black-cheeked monkey beside him, "Let's go, blackface, let's go to the place where the fork is drawn." ”

Zhang Zhao compared the direction on the sheepskin, along the edge of the lake all the way to the east, until he walked more than ten miles, before reaching the end of the lake, he walked for another half an hour, the terrain was slightly higher, and the lake surface became narrower.

After walking three or four miles, there are not a few trees scattered by the lake, and the sound of water flow is gradually heard in his ears, Zhang Zhao followed the sound quickly, and did not see any huge stones, only saw the clear spring bubbling out everywhere along the gap of the mountain stone at his feet, and looked for a long time around this square area, and did not see the location of the fork on the map.

Zhang Zhao didn't give up, and walked around a few times with the sheepskin, he felt that this should be the place marked with a fork, but there was a trickle everywhere in front of him, and there was no water source or boulders.

In desperation, Zhang Zhao and the two monkeys embarked on the return journey, walked far away Zhang Zhao looked back again, but felt that the hillside he had just stepped on was a little different from the color of the rocks not far away, he stood and watched, and finally understood that the hillside he stepped on just now was the Wanjun boulder mentioned on the sheepskin.

The gushing spring water was only oozing out of some cracks in the stone, and the mountain-like stone was more than ten thousand pounds, Zhang Zhao shook his head in disappointment, deeply realizing the helplessness of the unknown senior when he wrote on the sheepskin.

Returning the same way, Zhang Zhao went to Yangxian Hall again, described the hill-like boulder at the water source, and asked without giving up: "Is there any way to move that boulder?"

The elders shook their heads. It seems that the boulder does not know when it fell from the peak and pressed on the water source, which can only be said to be the will of God, who in the world can have the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea.

Zhang Zhao read the words on the sheepskin repeatedly at night, always wanting to do something for this senior, so no matter who he saw the next day, he would tell about it and ask the other party if there was any way.

The answer he got was impossible, if it was a broken stone, he could gather some manpower to dig it slowly, but it was clearly a stone mountain, and the fat master felt that it was possible to regenerate the water source by gathering several earth cultivators from the Yin and Yang realm to cast spells together and separate the stone mountain piece by piece.

There are only a few Yin Yang Realm cultivators in the entire Five Xuan Realms who practice earth-based techniques. What's more, these people are either sect masters of one faction, or elders of various sects, how could they run to Lingxiao to move stones when they have nothing to do.

Zhang Zhao is not the only person who has been troubled by this matter in these years, but he is definitely the one who does not know the difficulty and retreats. For a month in a row, he asked people whenever he could, so that many people were thinking about it all day long after being asked by him many times.

Of course, Tian Yuqin, Gu Xianrong, Mo Suyan, was no exception, and after coming to fetch dried meat and cheese several times and being asked this question, even some of the elders in Lingxiao who Zhang Zhao had never seen began to think of a way.

I don't know who came up with an idea, and it was passed on to Zhang Zhao layer by layer. The boulder belongs to the soil, and it is not human to weigh it, and the wood can overcome the soil in the five elements, and if you want to move or separate the boulder, you must think of some ways from the wood system.

Although there is no concrete way to implement it, it has finally begun. When it came time to discuss what was most powerful among the wood-based creatures, I ended up choosing the seeds. Everyone thinks that no matter what kind of rock crack it is, as long as the seed falls into it, it can drill out and grow normally.

Anyway, there was no other way, Zhang Zhao began to ask Lao Sha to help collect more grass seeds. Soon, the old sand belt man carried dozens of bags and hundreds of more bags of beans.

Under the leadership of Zhang Zhao, the disciples of the back kitchen and the miscellaneous hall carried these seeds to the stone mountain in their free time and scattered them in various crevices.

When the whole mountain of rocks has been scattered, all that remains is a long wait. Zhang Zhao ran here to take a look when he was free, but he didn't feel any change, and gradually became a little discouraged.

On this day, he was about to take a look at the source of the lake, but Tian Yuqin and Mo Suyan came to him again, Zhang Zhao was a little puzzled: "Senior Sister Tian, didn't you just get a lot of food yesterday?"

Tian Yuqin looked at him and shouted: "Can't there be anything else to do when you come to you?" We have eaten a lot of good things from you these days, and I have to reciprocate a little bit, senior sister, this time there is a chance to go down the mountain, and we will all go to see it, I thought that you are also a personal disciple, so I came to ask you if you are going." ”

Zhang Zhao asked carefully to know that a few days ago, Lingxiao traveled less than 100 miles west, and a large piece of wasteland suddenly sank several zhang, showing countless holes, where there had been no people, and occasionally pedestrians passed by to find something abnormal.

That place happened to be at the intersection of Lingxiao and the other two sects, and after discussion, the three factions each sent their disciples to meet in Lotus Town, which was not far away, a few days later, to investigate together.

Zhang Zhao was a little puzzled after hearing this: "Senior Sister Tian, then what am I going to do?"

Tian Yuqin was surprised: "Go play, aren't you bored lying on the mountain every day?" Anyway, we all go, you don't forget if you don't go." ”

Zhang Zhao nodded again and again when he heard this: "I'll go, I'll go, but I have to talk to the fat master first and ask him to find someone to deliver food for me." ”

Tian Yuqin pulled Mo Suyan and turned to leave: "Whoever you like to find is really not good, I think that monkey can also do it for you." ”

As soon as Zhang Zhao arrived at the Yangxian Hall and said, of course the elders agreed, this was an idle errand, and the disciples sent out to get to know the surrounding sects. Since Zhang Zhao is already a personal disciple, of course he can't miss this kind of opportunity.

The fat master was mixed when he found out, because as soon as Zhang Zhao left, the work in the back kitchen would be slower in the morning, but Zhang Zhao was no longer holding two hats, and he didn't take the money from the back kitchen when he went to get Xianjing, so he came to help in vain every day. What's more, going down the mountain this time can be regarded as an experience, so he smiled and agreed to arrange for someone to deliver food for him.

Three days later, Zhang Zhao packed up and waited in front of the Lingxiao Hall, Tian Yuqin and others met him, and then went to the door of the Miscellaneous Hall to wait, and after a while, two people came out, Zhang Zhao looked at it as acquaintances, one was the senior brother Tang Lin Tang who led him into the Lingxiao, and the other was a disciple named Xu Nian in the Miscellaneous Hall.

Tang Lin greeted everyone and saw Zhang Zhao at a glance: "Ho, Zhang Zhao, I heard that you are doing well now, not only have you become one of the nine chiefs, but you were also tossing and turning to lift some stones above us a while ago." ”

Zhang Zhao smiled and gave a salute: "Thanks to Senior Brother Tang, I can have today, the stone is too big, and there has been no movement so far." Will Senior Brother Tang also go down the mountain with us this time?"

Tang Lin laughed: "Just like the time I took you up the mountain, I am the life of this escort before and after the saddle." What's more, this time it was Uncle Tian who personally came to me, so I didn't dare not come. ”

Tian Yuqin said with a smile: "If Senior Brother Tang doesn't want to go, I will ask my father to find someone else." ”

Tang Lin shook his hand again and again: "I mean it, there is nothing around us now, so let me go out with you for a walk." ”

After waiting in front of the miscellaneous hall for a while, several groups of disciples came and went, most of them were the sons and nephews of some elders, and took this opportunity to go out to see and learn.

Tang Lin is the third disciple of Lingxiao's head Chang Qingzi, this time he went out with him as the leader, he counted the number of people and shouted: "There are thirty-four people in total, everyone is together, let's go down the mountain." ”

Lotus Town, which had made an appointment to meet with the two sects, was not far from Lingxiao, and Tian Yuqin and other female disciples went down the mountain for the first time, and after walking for dozens of miles, the sun was getting stronger, and Tang Lin saw that there was a forest in front of him, so he proposed to get off the horse and take a rest.

A group of disciples talked and laughed to the edge of the woods, but they didn't expect that there was another group of people in the woods, and they were nervous when they saw each other, and many disciples stretched out their hands and pulled out their blades to face each other.

Tang Lin hurriedly stopped the Lingxiao disciple and said loudly: "Lingxiao Tang Lin, is Lin Zhongyun's friend of Yunyangling?" This is the intersection of Lingxiao and Yunyangling's Xiao family, and he guessed that it should not be any enemy.

"Yunyang Xiao Yinghao, I have seen Senior Brother Tang. With this greeting with a little smile, a tall bald man with short eyebrows walked out of the crowd: "Let Senior Brother Tang smile, my junior brothers are all coming out for the first time, and it is inevitable that they are not calm enough." ”

Tang Lin smiled: "Each other, we are similar here." ”

Xiao Yinghao and Tang Lin had known each other for a long time, and the two of them each turned around and instructed the disciples in the sect to collect their weapons. We discussed resting for a while before we hit the road together.

Lingxiao and the others entered the woods, each found a place to sit down and rest, the two groups of young people looked at each other, among the Lingxiao disciples, Mo Suyan and Gu Xianrong were all outstanding in appearance, and they were very conspicuous, which attracted many male disciples in the Yunyangling vein to secretly watch.

There were also several female disciples among the disciples of Yunyangling, one of them was a girl in a purple short skirt who was very good-looking, and when she saw a group of fellow disciples staring at several female disciples of Lingxiao opposite, she couldn't help but have a heart of comparison.

The girl in the purple skirt stood up gently, twisted her waist and walked in front of Tang Lin and Xiao Yinghao, and said in a soft voice: "Brother, this is the Lingxiao Tang Senior Brother you often mention." ”

Xiao Yinghao replied with a smile: "Exactly, Brother Tang, this is my third sister Xiao Zihong." ”

Xiao Zihong stepped forward to salute, and her voice was a little softer: "I've seen Senior Brother Tang." ”

Tang Lin traveled south and north, it was not a person who had never seen the world, but the Xiao Zihong in front of him was beautiful, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were even more sultry, even he was a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Senior Sister Xiao doesn't have to be polite." ”

Xiao Zihong had the intention to show off, and walked to the middle of the field and gave a salute to the Lingxiao people: "Xiao Zihong has seen all the senior brothers of Lingxiao. ”

The corners of her lips smiled, her watery eyes swept away, Lingxiao's disciples were all confused, hurriedly returning the salute, their eyes were staring at Xiao Zihong in a daze, Xiao Zihong smiled proudly, but she was a little surprised when she saw Zhang Zhao.

Everyone saw Xiao Zihong move the lotus step to Zhang Zhao and asked softly: "This little junior brother, you don't even look at me when you stare at it, am I not as good-looking as your senior sisters?"
