Pang Feiyang shook his head: "I don't know, but I heard what Zhang Zhao meant, these seem to be a little entangled with our Lingxiao, and they are also very familiar with the situation in the back mountain."
Shu Jiuling tilted his head and thought carefully: "You say, could it be those people from thirty years ago?"
"Could it be those people thirty years ago?" In the Lingxiao Hall, after Mo Junfeng and the three of them left, the head of the house, Chang Qingzi, was also saying the same thing, and he sat opposite an old man in a red robe, with five locks of long beard hanging down his chest, but with a lazy smell on his body.
"Cousin, why don't we two go and have a look?" Chang Qingzi looked at the red-robed old man and asked, this lazy red-robed old man was none other than Gu Yan's brother and sister's father, Gu Qianzhong, the only Yin and Yang realm cultivator in Lingxiao.
"Whatever you want, you can go as you say. I'm too lazy to think about so much. But if it's really those people, what are you going to do?" Gu Qianzhong didn't have the posture of a Yin Yang Realm cultivator at all, the middle finger of his left hand was bent, and he asked while flicking his nails and clicking, "If they don't ask about it, kill or not?"
Chang Qingzi pondered for a moment: "Of course they don't kill if they can, not to mention that they are not embarrassed by Junfeng and them, it seems that there should be a chance to ease." ”
Gu Qianzhong stood up and stretched his waist: "Okay, anyway, you say it, I'm just running errands." He thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you want to call Ueda Yingxiang and them?" I just heard what a few boys meant, and those people are cultivating well. ”
Chang Qingzi smiled: "It's enough to have you, it's not good to have more people in this kind of thing." No matter how powerful a few of them are, can they still break the Yin and Yang realm?"
Gu Qianzhong stopped talking, and the two of them ran all the way in the direction that Mo Junfeng said just now. The two of them were much faster than the seven of them, and they arrived at the place with a hundred miles of travel.
At this time, it was already getting dark, Gu Qianzhong jumped more than ten zhang high on the tip of the branch, identified the direction in the air, and pointed with his hand: "Over there." ”
Changqingzi and the two of them accelerated under their feet, and sure enough, they found those grass huts. Chang Qingzi shouted loudly: "I don't know which old people are here, Lingxiao Chang Qingzi came to pay a visit." ”
Several of the thatched huts were dark and dreary, with no candles, and there was no movement around. The two of them stepped forward slowly and walked to the middle of several rooms, when a voice sounded: "Gu Changqing, you only brought one person here, aren't you afraid that we will kill you and avenge the revenge of the year?"
Chang Qingzi smiled when he heard this: "Since you call me Gu Changqing, it must be my old person back then, I don't know which senior brothers live in seclusion here, can you come out and see it?"
As soon as the door of the grass house in the middle opened, an old man with a wooden crown on his head came out, this person was born with good facial features, and he exuded a bookish atmosphere. Although the clothes on his body are shabby, each patch is square and meticulously sewn.
"Gu Changqing, do you still recognize me?" The old man with the crown stood three feet in front of Chang Qingzi, his hands behind his back, and his face was calm.
"Being in this Lingxiao Mountain, the behavior and clothing are still so meticulous and attentive. Chang Qingzi looked at the old man and said with a slight smile: "Who else can there be besides Senior Brother Wu Zongting Wu?"
The old man nodded: "I haven't seen you for decades, you can still speak well, although I know that you are quite witty, but it is also pleasing to the ear, no wonder you persuaded so many fellow disciples to join forces with you back then." ”
Chang Qingzi smiled when he heard this: "Senior Brother Wu, what happened back then was really unavoidable, you were also present that day, you should know which is right and which is wrong." ”
"Of course we have a number, if it weren't for you, how would we have lived here for decades?" A tall old man with a flower hair bundle on his head appeared from the two of them: "When you sit in the Lingxiao Palace, aren't you afraid that those ghosts of the same door will ask you for your life?"
Chang Qingzi looked at the tall old man and replied: "At that time, the situation did not allow us not to kill the killers, and it was really not Changqing's wish to kill the same family, but Senior Brother Gao, don't forget, it was not me who gave the order first." ”
The tall old man was speechless for a while, and muttered, "You still remember me." ”
At this time, the door of another grass house was opened, and the old man with a yellow face walked out slowly: "The winner is the king, since we lost back then, it is useless to talk more now, Gu Changqing, what is the purpose of your coming here?
Chang Qingzi looked at the old man's appearance: "Changqing came here, just to visit the old man, Senior Brother Feng, you are right, it is meaningless to talk about the things of the year, the dead are gone, and the living should be commanded forever." ”
Turning to look at the old man with thin hair and a thin face and the bald old man on the other side, Chang Qingzi nodded and saluted: "Senior Brother Sun, Senior Brother Qi, don't come here harmless." ”
These people are all dressed in tatters, except for the crowned old man Wu Zongting, who is quite upright, the rest of them have messy hair and beards, like savages. The five of them formed a line and met Chang Qingzi's gaze.
"Gu Changqing, just say it, what do you want to do here?" Wu Zongting was the oldest among these people, and several old men were headed by him.
"Changqing heard a few disciples say, only to know that a few senior brothers have not left Lingxiao, so they came to visit, and there is no intention of expelling, I wonder if a few senior brothers are also here?" Chang Qingzi asked in a calm tone as much as possible.
"Of course. The bald old man Senior Brother Qi pointed with his hand: "Several of our family members are buried over there, do you want to report their names one by one?" Chang Qingzi looked in the direction of his finger, and there was neither a protrusion on the ground over there, nor a tombstone standing.
He looked at the old men with suspicion: "Why don't you erect inscriptions for a few uncles?" Wu Zongting sighed: "Back then, my father and several uncles said that they were born in Lingxiao and would die in Lingxiao. ”
Wu Zongting looked at the mediocre cemetery and said in a cold voice: "We were expelled from the Lingxiao, and the elders of several families could not let go of it until they died, so they ordered us not to erect a monument to engrave an inscription, they have no shame to go to see the ancestors and ancestors, so let's be a lonely ghost here." ”
Speaking of this, Wu Zongting and the rest of the elders were as cold as water: "The old story is over, Gu Changqing, what are you going to do now?"
Chang Qingzi turned around and bowed deeply to the flat ground, and then looked at the hostile elders: "You can stay here for as long as you want, and Changqing has no other intentions here." Since I was not welcome by the few, Changqing said goodbye. ”
After speaking, he nodded to the five people, turned around and left. Gu Qianzhong glanced at the five people, and also turned to follow. After walking for a few miles, Gu Qianzhong asked, "That's it?"
Chang Qingzi chuckled: "Then what else? They still have a deep hatred, what do you think will be the result of continuing to talk about it?"
Gu Qianzhong snorted: "A few of them are really good, I think Wu Zongting and Feng Qianfa are at least half-step Yin and Yang cultivation, and those three have also reached the peak of the five qi." Unexpectedly, after living in this barren mountain for decades, their cultivation has improved. ”
Chang Qingzi said: "It's already a half-step yin and yang, so if you start to do it just now, wouldn't it be a little dangerous?" Gu Qianzhong smiled: "I thought you could see it, even if you make a move, they won't be able to take advantage, and I can still handle two half-step yin and yang." ”
The two walked to the vicinity of the Yangxian Hall, and Changqingzi said to Gu Qianzhong: "Cousin, you go back to rest first, and I still have to do something." Gu Qianzhong didn't ask, turned around and left.
The elders of Yangxian Hall did not tell Zhang Zhao in detail about the events of the year, but only told him that those people might be disciples who had been expelled by Lingxiao before. Zhang Zhao returned to his room, practiced the Ten Thousand Souls Recipe as usual, and then began to tease the little white monkey to grab the jade card, the fourth verse has appeared three golden words, as long as the little white monkey's body moves, Zhang Zhao has a sense.
After playing for a while, Zhang Zhao suddenly felt a strange feeling, and when he looked in that direction, it turned out to be the head of the house, Chang Qingzi, standing at the door.
"Master, why are you here?" Zhang Zhao hurriedly handed the jade plate to the little white monkey, got up and got out of bed by himself, and was just about to give a salute when Chang Qingzi stopped him: "Don't be polite, I came here to tell you something." ”
He said directly: "I guess you have also seen a few people in the back mountain, they are all disciples who were expelled from the mountain gate by Lingxiao before, although they live a hard life, they can't let people know about their existence, so you can't let anyone know about today's events." ”
Zhang Zhao recalled the situation of those old people: "I have already told Master about them. ”
Chang Qingzi nodded: "Those people in the Yangxian Hall can tell the truth, they also know what happened back then, and they can naturally understand it, but don't let others know about it, remember it." ”
Zhang Zhao nodded and agreed: "I remember, but the master, you also said just now, those seniors are living a very hard life, why can't they let them go back to our Lingxiao?"
Chang Qingzi smiled on his face: "This kind of thing can't be said and returned, they still have a mustard in their hearts now, even if they want to come back, there are still door rules in the way." ”
Seeing that Zhang Zhao was a little puzzled, Chang Qingzi said with a little cunning look on his face: "Several of them are old, and they really need something for daily use, and I don't know what else to do." ”
Zhang Zhao somewhat understood the real intention of Chang Qingzi coming here late at night: "Then if someone sends them something to eat, does it violate the door rules?"
Chang Qingzi shook his head: "They used to be people in my Lingxiao, even if someone sends some things they need, it is human nature, of course they will not be punished." ”
Zhang Zhao smiled and nodded: "Master, I think I understand what you mean." Chang Qingzi turned around and went out: "It's good if you understand." An old man and a young man had a smile on their faces, and their hearts were full of some tacit understanding.
On the way back just now, Chang Qingzi thought about it, only Zhang Zhao had the time and energy to do it unknowingly. Then he made a detour and asked him to send something over. Tang Lin's words were remembered in his heart that day, and he also felt that although Zhang Zhao was from an ordinary background, he was born with the ability to get closer to others.
Two days later, looking at the big bag of things that Zhang Zhao put in front of him, Wu Zongting and the others all looked strange: "You kid, what do you mean by coming here alone and bringing this big bag of things?"
Zhang Zhao replied sincerely: "Here is the food I made yesterday, as well as some daily applications. I hope that a few seniors will not dislike it. ”
The bald old man took a step forward: "What does this mean? Are you pitying us? Gu Changqing called you?"
Zhang Zhao looked at him without fear: "Do you have to ask what it means to send something over?" No one asked me to send it, I just want to send it myself." ”
"You ....... "The bald old man really has no way, and he can't do anything to Zhang Zhao, although their cultivation is high, they just catch some small beasts and dig some yams to satisfy their hunger, and they have been practicing hard every day for decades, and they don't have any intention of revenge. And how far away from Lingxiao is here, they know in their hearts that it is really hard for Zhang Zhao to carry this big bag of things.
"You can leave it here and go back. Wu Zongting said softly: "Thank you." Zhang Zhao nodded at them, didn't say a word, and turned to leave.
"Senior Brother Wu, why did we just accept his things?" the old man surnamed Sun, who was wearing a thin face and wearing a thin face, asked, "What is this?
"That's right, maybe this is some trick Gu Changqing made, we can't be fooled. The bald old man surnamed Qi also spoke out indignantly.
"A few junior brothers, in our current situation, do Gu Changqing still need to do any tricks? You also saw it that day, Gu Qianzhong is at least a master of the Yin and Yang realm now, and he would have already moved if he wanted to do it. After listening to Wu Zongting's words, the expressions of several old men gradually softened.
"The young man's face just now was simple, we saw that he was really unwitting that day, no matter what he sent, it was all kind, Senior Brother Sun, if this is a charity, then let's hide in the back mountain for decades, Gu Changqing left without paying attention yesterday, is it considered charity?"
"Even if we don't need it, we have to change the taste of Senior Brother Li, he has been in bed for a long time, see if there is anything he can eat here. The old man surnamed Gao, whose hair was like a flower, stepped forward to open the burden brought by Zhang Zhao, looked at the neatly bundled grilled dried fish and meat and swallowed his saliva.
"This kid really didn't bring a lot, I'll go cook some fish soup for Senior Brother Li, this must be the fish of Jingxin Lake, we haven't eaten it for too long." ”
Zhang Zhao took more rice, noodles, vegetables and meat in the back kitchen every time, and ran around every five or six days, and after sending it three or four times in a row, several old men saw him with a much lighter complexion, and the bald old man surnamed Qi also calmed down and accepted it silently.
A month later, when Zhang Zhao went again, he found that in addition to the original five people, there was an old man he had never seen before, his face was gray, he looked obviously recovering from a serious illness, sitting on a wooden pier basking in the sun.
"Thank you, I didn't expect that I, Li Mengshan, would still be able to eat the fish and meat of Jingxin Lake in my lifetime. The sickly-faced old man seemed to be in a good mood, and beckoned to Zhang Zhao: "Which hall and which pavilion are you a disciple of, and you can often go to Jingxin Lake to fish?"
When Zhang Zhao saw that someone finally spoke and talked, talking about the things around him, he replied excitedly: "I am from Yangxiantang, and I live not far from the lake." That lake is called the Lake of Tranquility?"
"I also saw in the book of the Jingge that there is a spring at the end of the lake, and it is said that there is a waterfall in front of the mountain from there, but it has been suppressed for a long time. Li Mengshan also seemed to be very familiar with the neighborhood, and he said it exactly right.
"The spring has come out again, and the waterfall is now there again. Zhang Zhao was even more energetic: "We carried hundreds of bags of seeds up before we opened the rocks like a hill. ”
"When did the waterfall reappear?" Li Mengshan looked at the few people behind him: "Do you know about this?"
The old man surnamed Gao with his hair like a flower had the best relationship with Li Mengshan, he looked at a few people who were also confused, and said, "I'll take a look." Before the words fell, the person had turned into a gray light and rushed straight to the top of the snow peak.
Li Mengshan looked at Zhang Zhao again: "You said that you are from the Yangxian Hall, why is the Yangxian Hall also reopened now?"
Zhang Zhao glared: "Reopening?, since I arrived in Lingxiao, there has always been a Yangxian Hall, and I am still the chief disciple of the Yangxian Hall." As he spoke, he pointed to the jade plate on his waist, and his face was very proud.
Several old men saw that the jade plaque on his waist looked gloomy, and Li Mengshan changed the topic and said: "You make good fish, there are a lot of green jade shrimp on the south side of Jingxin Lake, have you tasted it?"
Zhang Zhao had only been fishing on the north side of the lake, and he really didn't know what was on the other side of the lake, so he asked with great interest: "This senior, what is a green jade shrimp? ”
Li Mengshan was also full of interest when he talked about these: "The water on the south side of Jingxin Lake is shallow, except for the green jade shrimp and the black crab shellfish, everything is delicious, you don't know, it's a pity." ”
Seeing the two talking happily, the old men behind were helpless, this Li Mengshan was used to being idle when he was free, and he was eating, drinking and having fun every day. I can't imagine that after living in this back mountain for decades, I still have my eyebrows dancing when I talk about these things.
"Sure enough, it's true. The old man surnamed Gao flew back with a hint of surprise on his face: "That waterfall has reappeared, and you can see it clearly on it." ”
Zhang Zhao didn't think that the waterfall was anything special, but he was looking forward to the delicious food on the south side of Jingxin Lake that Li Mengshan said. After Li Mengshan finished speaking, he couldn't wait to say goodbye and leave.
Looking at his back, Li Mengshan, who felt a little tired after saying a lot of words, sat down suddenly, with a little blush on his face: "This kid is very much to my liking, I don't know if he can send us some to eat." ”
After Zhang Zhao went back, he went straight to the opposite side of the lake with the raft, the lake was only a few miles wide, and it only took a while to reach the opposite bank, and now the lake is more than before, and it goes straight to the woods on the shore, Zhang Zhao stood on the raft and spread his senses, and sure enough, he felt that there were countless palm-sized things swimming in the lake.
He leaned down and stared into the water, and saw that these things were wrapped in cyan translucent scales, pointed heads and long beards, and there were many slender feet at their sides to move forward with water.
There are also many fan-shaped things with colorful semi-circular shapes and stones at the bottom of the water, which open and close to reveal the long and soft corners inside. Zhang Zhao jumped into the lake with a cheer, now his water quality is good, and he held his breath and fished up a lot of shellfish.
These shells are the size of a human face and close tightly when touched. Zhang Zhao heard this reaction from Li Mengshan, caught a lot of them before returning on the raft, and when he arrived at the small courtyard, he put the flower shells into a tank, poured salt water and waited for them to spit out the sediment. Then mix the seasoning and steam.
That night, the elders of Yangxian Hall were full of blessings, white and delicate, and the delicious shellfish meat made everyone full of praise, and they heard Zhang Zhao say that there were still shrimp and crabs in the lake, and they were extremely looking forward to it.
Zhang Zhao according to Li Mengshan's instructions, it took a few days to form a big net with a long rope horizontally and vertically, and after trying a few times, a lot of green jade shrimp can be brought online.
After he caught a black crab the size of a dark basin, he wrapped it up and sent it to the back mountain along with the vegetables and meat he had saved for a few days. Li Mengshan, who was getting better, was overjoyed when he saw it, and picked up the shellfish and shrimp with both hands and stuffed his mouth full.
"Senior Brother Li, do you also want to have some demeanor?" Wu Zongting couldn't help but say after seeing it: "Even if you haven't eaten these things for a long time, you don't need to look like this." ”
"Senior Brother Wu, I think he's just getting hungry these days. Ever since he had fresh vegetables and meat, he has eaten more than any of us. The old man surnamed Gao saw his best friend's illness improve, and he also had a laughing mood.
"Let's stop laughing at him, I see his posture, let's stop him from dying. The old man surnamed Sun, who was wearing his hair, stepped forward and took a few pieces of shrimp meat and swallowed it slowly: "This shrimp is much more delicious than what you made back then." ”
"Nonsense. Li Mengshan, whose mouth was stuffed with meat, retorted vaguely when he heard this: "That's because you haven't eaten it for decades, so you can say that, and I make that shrimp meat a little more tender than him, so it can be regarded as really delicious." ”
The bald old man surnamed Qi looked at him and felt funny: "Senior Brother Li, when I look at you, I remember what you said back then, this shellfish and shrimp meat have to be chewed slowly to taste, and said that we eat big and violent things, but unfortunately there is no mirror in front of you, otherwise you should really look at your current appearance." ”
One day, when Zhang Zhao was taking out the shellfish, he accidentally found that there was a round hard object the size of a fingertip in the shellfish. From Uncle Jiuling, I learned that the name of this thing is pearl, and grinding powder has the ability to clear the eye.
Zhang Zhao grinded the bead powder and applied it to Shu Jiuling's eyes every day, but after a few days, Li Mengshan shook his head after knowing it: "Boy, you pay attention, if the beads are big and round, you can stay, if you wear a string of things, it is a thing that girls love." I think you should have a favorite woman at your age, and when the time comes, if you give her a string of pearls, you may be able to impress the hearts of the jade people. ”
Zhang Zhao was thrilled when he heard this, and asked Li Mengshan carefully before going back. From then on, he paid attention to the beads and stored them with uniform and round size.
Since there are more errands to go to Houshan to deliver some meat and vegetables, Zhang Zhao's popularity has progressed rapidly, and it takes more than an hour to go back and forth at the beginning, and gradually he can easily come back in half an hour.
He didn't have the consciousness to make progress in magic, but he remembered the three-eyed flying bat that failed to succeed. He asked Pang Feiyang for advice on how to catch snow rabbits, Pang Feiyang taught him some fast up and down steps, Zhang Zhao tried a few times, but still found nothing.
The little white monkey has grown up now, and once followed him to the snow peak, watching him miss every shot, and squeaked in impatience.
