It was late at night, and there were two sneaky black shadows walking towards the back mountain, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short, one of them was Li Cheng, who had just joined the sect, and the other was Tian Zhongji, who was the fifth among the disciples of the Qingying faction.

According to the qualifications of the faction, Tanaka Ji ranked fifth, but he could not be cultivated but could not reach the juniors in the faction, before entering the Qingming faction, he was a man, because he was framed in the dish and poisoned, and he was imprisoned, although the unjust case was settled, and the government also returned his innocence, but he went to the Qingming Mountain in a fit of anger, entered the Qiuyue Temple, and became a Taoist disciple.

But he is not good at Taoism, and he is negligent in practice, Wen Sheng saw that he was not this material, and wanted to persuade him to leave, but Tanaka Ji begged bitterly, saying that he was willing to stay in Qiuyueguan to be a Taoist cook, Wen Sheng saw that he was resolute, thinking that although he had no wisdom roots, he was still sincere, so he followed him.

Originally, the people who cooked in the Tao were taken by the disciples in turn, because no one was willing to take on this drudgery, some people had never even cooked, and the cooked food was difficult to swallow, and some people didn't even know how to make a fire, almost making the entire Qiuyueguan go away, but since Tanaka Ji took over the kitchen, the green vegetables and tofu were all made to make people hungry, and seeing that the waists of the disciples in the Dao were thick, Wen Sheng felt that it was a good idea to let Tanaka Ji stay in Qiuyueguan.

Because Taoism abides by the ancient precepts, painstaking efforts, does not set up a family, forbids meat and hardship, Tian Zhongji is a person who comes from the mortal dust, and it is good to say that this abstinence from meat is for him, but the pain is unbearable, he was originally born stout, his appetite is greater than ordinary people, he only eats vegetables and rice every day, he began to miss the days of feasting in the past, but the intrigues and tricks of the mortal world disgusted him, so he carried the master to the back mountain from time to time to catch some game and open meat.

Li Cheng is a new disciple of the sect, he has a good family, is a rich child, but all day idle, and other gentlemen in the city to form a gang, often everywhere to cause trouble, his father only has such a son as him, worried that the century-old family business will be destroyed in his hands, so he made up his mind to let him get rid of this bad body, he found out that his late wife had a cousin who cultivated in Qingming Mountain, Li's father thought that if his son lived a life of fasting and precepts, he might wake up, so he sent Li Cheng over.

Wen Sheng originally refused to allow Li Cheng to enter the temple, but Tanaka remembered the kindness of his childhood cousin to him, and tried his best to intercede for Li Cheng, saying that although Li Cheng did not aim to cultivate the Tao, if the master did not take him in, he would become a group of harmful horses in the long run, and the master would also accumulate virtue and do good deeds by taking him in, and he promised to protect Li Cheng, saying that if Li Cheng committed a crime, he would be equally responsible.

Wen Sheng was relieved and promised Li Cheng to enter the Qiuyue Temple, but it was limited to three years, and he did not admit that he was a disciple of the Qingying Sect, but only let him temporarily live in the Qiuyue Temple, eat and eat with other disciples, sleep and lie together, and did not practice the Taoism of his Qingying Sect, so Li Cheng could be regarded as staying.

But Li Chengjin is used to eating and drinking, how can he stand such a disciplined life, he has to get up before dawn every day to go to morning class, and after he is done, he has to do rough work such as sweeping the floor and carrying water, and the food is not even able to see oil and water, it is all radish and cabbage, only three days, he can not bear it, he only feels empty in his stomach, empty under his feet, as long as he can go back, his father said

He's willing to do anything, just don't stay in this place where birds don't.

But Li's father had a premonition, and specially told Tian Zhong Ji that no matter what, he couldn't let Li Cheng return, so Li Cheng ran once Tian Zhong Ji caught it, the first few times Li Cheng scolded Tian Zhong Ji, and then he cried bitterly, begged for mercy, and let Tian Zhong Ji let him go, how much silver his father gave him, he was willing to pay back double, but Tian Zhong Ji was a solid eye, since he promised his cousin-in-law, he had to keep his promise and leave this unsuccessful kid in Qiuyueguan for three years.

In the end, Li Cheng compromised, he knew that he could not escape, so he had to follow Tanaka Ji in the autumn moon view, one day and night, he saw that Tanaka Ji was in the same room with him was nowhere to be found, the next day Li Cheng smelled the smell of fireworks on Tanaka Ji's body, he thought it was Tanaka Ji perennial in the back kitchen to cook the smell, but inadvertently he found a bird feather on the hem of his clothes, under Li Cheng's questioning, Tanaka Ji had to tell him that he thought the food in this view was light, so he went to the back mountain from time to time to catch some game to eat.

Li Cheng shouted at Tian Zhongji to take him there, Tian Zhongji thought that the fertilizer water would not flow to outsiders, and he could be regarded as his nephew, so he promised to take Li Cheng with him, but told him not to let the head know about it, and not to listen to other disciples, Li Cheng patted his chest, and his mouth was very tight.

So, on this moonlit and starry night, the two of them and everyone fell asleep and walked to the back mountain.

"Uncle, are there wild beasts in this mountain?" Li Cheng looked around, the dense and dark forest made his back a little chilly, and he followed behind Tanaka, not daring to fall a single step.

"I don't know, but there are a lot of pheasants and rabbits." Tanaka scratched his head, he was very familiar with this road, and he could come back with his eyes closed.

"Uncle, can you really catch prey in those traps you made?" Li Cheng asked curiously, he didn't want to run to the back mountain without sleep in the middle of the night and return empty-handed, and he had to get up early tomorrow morning to chant the scriptures.

"That's not it, don't look at what your uncle did back then, the last time I caught such a fat rabbit, tsk, think of the meat on the rabbit, it's so fragrant." Tanaka gestured, and the taste of the rabbit seemed to be in his mouth, and he smashed it in his mouth.

"How far is it?" When Li Cheng heard Tian Zhongji say this, his tongue was full of relish, and he wished to walk to the trap quickly, whether it was a rabbit or a pheasant, as long as he could eat meat, he would be grateful to Dade.

"Come on, just ahead, keep up." Relay Tanaka strode forward.

At this moment, next to the trap made by Tanaka Ji, two black shadows barked at the deer in the trap that could not climb out, the stag anxiously looked at the young deer that fell into the pit, anxious, it paced back and forth around the trap, but could not find a way to save it, the other young deer had tears in his eyes, if it was not for its playfulness, and asked his sister to come out to find Mofei, my sister would not have fallen into the trap of the hunter.

The stag's ears stood up, and when he heard someone coming this way, he barked at the other young deer to let him run away, and he glared at the place where he came, raised his antlers, and was ready for battle, and if anyone wanted to hurt his children, he would not let them

Succeed.

Walking past the leafy tree in front of them, the clearing was a trap that Tanaka had dug beforehand, and the two of them came to the trap with excitement, and by the moonlight, they found a young deer in the trap, and looked at them in horror.

"Uncle, you are so powerful, you can catch such a big deer, enough for us to have a full meal." Li Cheng was overjoyed.

"Let it go." Tanaka Tsuka's face was solemn.

"What? I heard you right, uncle, why did you release the prey that you had finally caught? Li Cheng was so anxious that he stomped his feet, this was the first time he followed Tanaka to open meat, he looked forward to the stars and the moon and finally waited for this day, and the fat in his mouth asked him to let go, what is the reason.

"The deer is a fairy beast, and I will definitely let you eat well next time." Tanaka said that although he was a cook and had slaughtered larger beasts in his hands, the long-lived deer was something he had never touched, and in his heart, the deer was a spiritual creature that was not the same as other poultry beasts.

"But......" Li Cheng wanted to say more, suddenly heard a sound from the forest behind him, the two were startled, looked back, but saw a sturdy stag rushing towards them, Li Cheng did not react, was slammed to the ground by the antlers, he covered his back and grinned in pain.

Although Tanaka Ji's cultivation is not good, but he has also been in the Qingying Sect for many years, and he can be regarded as some kung fu, taking advantage of the stag rushing over, he dodged sideways, seeing the stag looking at him with resentment, Tanaka Ji guessed that the trap was its cub, he waved his hand to the stag and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt it, I'll save it." ”

After saying that, he wanted to go to the pit, but the buck thought that he was going to threaten it with its child, and he was even more angry, and rushed towards him again, Tanaka saw that the buck's eyes were gloomy, he knew that it was going to take his life and fight with them, in order to defend himself, he had to take out the sharp knife from his waist that peeled and peeled the prey every time, and faced the buck, he tried to explain to it one last time, "I have no intention of hurting you, but if you continue to entangle, then I can only protect myself." ”

The knife was stained with the blood of many living beings, and the cold glow in the moonlight irritated the stag even more, and it gasped for breath in its nose, kicked on the ground with its forepaws, and swooped down towards Tanaka Tsuji.

Tanaka Ji didn't expect this stag to protect the cub, its strength would be so great, forcing him to the trunk of the tree, there was no room for maneuver, he held the horns of the buck's head tightly with both hands, and dense sweat oozed from his head, he gritted his teeth and wanted to pick up the dagger from his hand, but the stag seemed to sense his intentions, and with a swing of his head, the dagger flew out of his hand, and then kicked with his forefoot, and the dagger was far away.

When Tanaka Relay and the buck were struggling to confront each other, Li Cheng stood up with his waist, he knew that he was not the opponent of the buck, and wanted to run away, but as soon as he raised his foot, he saw that Tanaka Relay was about to be unable to support it, it seems that the stag will not give up if they don't make them half dead, just when Li Cheng was hesitating, he suddenly saw a plush figure behind him, which was another young deer.

"Let him go, or I'll kill him." Li Cheng roared.

The buck hears the sound

, turned around, and saw Li Cheng holding his other child in his arms, the dagger was against its neck at the moment, and the young deer couldn't break free, and yelled at his father.

Tanaka took advantage of the moment when the stag turned his head, he stretched out his hand and slashed heavily on the stag's neck, the stag knelt on the ground in pain, and let out a cry of pain, and the young deer saw his father fall to the ground, and the wailing continued, and the young deer in the trap could not see the outside scene, and it only heard the wails of its father and brother, and was so anxious that it jumped in the trap, but no matter how much it jumped, it could not come out of the smooth cave, and its knees were bleeding, but it still did not give up, and jumped up again and again.

At this moment, a white-clothed figure swept past Li Cheng's side, looking like a person and not a person, like a ghost but not a ghost, Li Cheng thought he was wrong, he rubbed his eyes, fixed his eyes to see, the dark clouds covered the moon, the forest was dark, a face covered by long hair suddenly fell in front of Li Cheng, only a pair of green eyes looked at Li Cheng faintly, Li Cheng was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he shouted, "Ghost...... There are ghosts ......."
