Chapter 12: The Big-Eared Taoist Zhang Shanyi (1)
The young man who spoke had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his whole body exuded an unfathomable aura. His dark and deep eyes were shining with a crystal luster, and his smooth and fair face was angular and full of a warm smile. Although the fly in the ointment is his pair of big ears, it still does not affect him to become a handsome guy.
It's May in the Northeast, but the teenager is wearing only a black T-shirt with a gossip pattern on it. What's even more outrageous is that he actually paired it with a pair of slippers and shorts. The boy was carrying a large backpack behind him, and he could see that there was a handful of dust whisks in the backpack, and the mane of the dust whisk was exposed.
"Hello, there are so many seats, of course you can sit as much as you want." Ding Lingxiu replied politely to the boy.
"Thank you." The boy in black wiped the dust from his seat, sat down slowly, and looked at Ding Lingxiu with a smile.
"Hello friends, the poor road name Zhang Shanyi, the law name Tianluanzi." The boy held out his hand in a friendly manner.
In fact, he pretended to be Ding Lingxiu didn't think so, but as soon as this guy said his Dharma name, Ding Lingxiu almost spurted blood, and he was about to suffer internal injuries with a smile.
Eggs? Which master gave him such a lack of moral legal name, he was embarrassed to say it.
"Oao...... My name is Zhao Linxiu, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Ding Lingxiu symbolically shook his hand.
Ding Lingxiu didn't use his real name, even though the boy looked very sunny, Ding Lingxiu was still more careful.
Just as he was reminiscing about Zhang Shanyi's cheat father's name, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
As soon as Ding Lingxiu and Zhang Shanyi's soft hands touched, they were full of excitement, and looked at the amiable young man in front of him in astonishment.
It turned out that although the contact between the two hands was extremely short, Dan Ding Lingxiu immediately noticed that these hands were extraordinary. This young man not only has amazing spiritual power, but also has a very special physique, and he is a rare "snake bone spirit body" in the world.
This "snake bone spirit body" is an innate strange constitution, which can make the bones of the body as soft and flexible as a snake. How many tomb robbers have been soaking in vinegar jars since childhood, but the regular soaking for many years can only achieve less than half the effect of the "snake bone spirit body".
"What? Brother Tai looks familiar to me? Zhang Shanyi said with a smile to the stunned Ding Lingxiu.
"No, it's the talent of the Dao Elder that amazes me."
After Ding Lingxiu finished speaking, he wanted to bite his tongue, although he usually spoke a little crepe, but now he was like two magic sticks that had crossed over.
The other three passengers in the car couldn't help but look back at the two strange people, casting several disdainful glances.
"Hehe, my brother smiled, although Poor Dao is talented, he really doesn't have the good luck of his brother." Zhang Shanyi said with a smile.
"Oh? How so? Ding Lingxiu was a little nervous, but he still looked at Zhang Shanyi calmly.
"If Poor Dao is not mistaken, the demon seeking compass you used just now is the Ding family's signature spiritual weapon, the Lingqi Stone Wheel. Brother Lin Xiu, you are a descendant of a famous family, and you inherited your father's business at a young age, isn't this lucky? Young Master of the Ding Family? Zhang Shanyi looked at Ding Lingxiu indisputably, but his words revealed envy.
Ding Lingxiu was stunned for a moment, he couldn't even remember the name of his demon compass usually, this Zhang Shanyi was able to recognize the pearls, accurately call out the name of his family heirloom spiritual weapon, and guess his identity, what is the situation? Seeing that he has no malice, there is no point in continuing to deceive, Ding Lingxiu has no choice but to tell the truth.
"I'm sorry, forgive me for deceiving the Taoist, the rivers and lakes are sinister, and I have to guard against it. The forty-ninth generation of the contemptible Ding family, Ding Lingxiu. Dare to ask how the chief of the road recognizes my family heirloom spiritual weapon? ”
Ding Lingxiu lowered his voice and said.
"Hehe, I'm a Taoist priest of Youfang, and I haven't seen any spiritual weapons, but I really didn't expect Ding Shao to inherit the family business at a young age, and the future is immeasurable." Zhang Shanyi said.
"I've won the prize, but Zhang Zhenren, what are you doing with the closure of the mountain this time?" Ding Lingxiu asked.
"Hehe, Young Master Ding, this is asking knowingly, of course I came here to exorcise demons." Zhang Shanyi still smiled.
"Oh, I see, so our goal is the same, right?"
Ding Lingxiu said it easily, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, this Zhang Zhenren is not shallow, and it is more difficult to have such a competitor than to deal with the police and monsters.
"Hey, Young Master Ding misunderstood, Poor Dao takes demon removal as his own responsibility, Young Master Ding takes demon hunting as his purpose, we don't disturb each other, if Young Master Ding doesn't dislike it, Poor Dao is willing to help." Zhang Shanyi waved his hand and spoke earnestly.
Ding Lingxiu looked at the kind Dao Master in front of him, and really couldn't imagine that he would compete with him for the Inner Sparrow, so he nodded.
"That's really good, with the help of the chief, this trip will definitely be like a fish in water, but there is a request below, I don't know if the chief can agree?" Ding Lingxiu said.
"Young Master Ding, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Dao Chief, can we speak normally?" Ding Lingxiu was really helpless, and confided in his heart that he had been holding back for a long time.
“…… Well, Poor Dao is used to talking like this when he is practicing. However, Young Master Ding, I also have a small request. Zhang Shanyi looked at Ding Lingxiu with some embarrassment.
"Say, what can't we say if we're partners now?" Ding Lingxiu said.
"Ding Shao, you see that I helped you subdue the demon this time, this rune or something, you have to consume it, so ...... Can you sponsor some of the poor funds? Zhang Shanyi's face was embarrassed.
Ding Lingxiu was overjoyed in his heart, and he was instantly relieved. Because now he can cooperate with Zhang Shanyi with complete confidence. Ding Lingxiu is not afraid that he wants money, but he is afraid that he wants nothing. In today's materialistic era, if Zhang Shanyi helps himself for no reason, it is a manifestation of bad intentions.
"This is natural, no matter how noble the demon subjugation and demon elimination is, you have to eat together, whether this operation is successful or not, I will give the Taoist 2,000 yuan honorarium, if the Taoist succeeds in helping me capture the inner bird, there is another thank you." Ding Lingxiu said generously.
"The young master of the Ding family really made a generous move, but he was determined to help. In fact, even if Ding Shao refuses, in order to prevent the demon from continuing to do evil, I will go to the mountains to subdue the demon. Zhang Shanyi is also very satisfied with this condition, which is much more than the reward he gets for getting rid of evil spirits for others and praying for blessings and wealth.
"This is natural, although we are from different backgrounds, the principle in our hearts is the same, it is a big thing to subdue demons and eliminate demons to bring peace to the people, and money is a small matter."
What Ding Lingxiu said was not polite words, this is the consensus of most famous orthodox churches, even if the world is hot and cold, the original intentions of these strange people will not change.
"Ding Shao, you said that you entered the inner finch just now? You're talking about the name of this monster? Zhang Shanyi asked.
"Yes, this infinite is a monster with very strange habits, although it is said that they always appear in groups in the mountains and forests with strong spirits, and work together to harm passers-by. But in reality, they don't live together a lot of yokai, but actually just one yokai. However, it can turn itself into any number of bird monsters, and can burrow into people's bodies, pecking at people's internal organs for nutrients and improving demonic power. When the time is ripe and the person who is pecked is about to die, they will hatch the acquired demonic power into eggs in the human body, and turn into more inner finching finches again. Ding Lingxiu said slowly, after all, the specialty of a demon hunter lies in understanding the habits of various demons and monsters.
"I see, the descendants of the Ding family really live up to their reputation, and they have such a thorough understanding of demons and monsters." Zhang Shanyi arched his hand, and his words were full of admiration.
"Hehe, of course, hey, it's also the result of accumulation. Nowadays, some people are complacent when they have achieved a little bit of success, and they feel that they are very good. Ding Lingxiu said.
"It's true that there are many such people who talk big and don't do real things."
"I'm different."
"You are?"
"I don't do anything every day, and I feel like I'm awesome."
“……”
The two have similar interests and are peers, chatting very speculatively all the way, and there is a feeling of hating each other.
Ding Lingxiu talked with Zhang Shanyi and also learned that this Zhang Zhenren actually learned from Longhu Mountain, which Ding Lingxiu did not expect, maybe time has passed, and the Taoist disciples of the mainstream righteous path have to receive remuneration in order to make a living. But after all, Longhu Mountain is the "ancestral garden" of Taoism is a heavenly master, since Zhang Daoling cultivated in Longhu Mountain, after the alchemy of alchemy, starting from the fourth generation of heavenly master Zhang Sheng in the late Han Dynasty, the heavenly masters of the past dynasties lived here, guarded Longhu Mountain to seek immortals, sat in the Qing palace to perform teaching, and lived in the heavenly master's mansion to cultivate self-cultivation. It can be described as the "Taoist capital". It is very difficult for ordinary people to even take refuge in apprenticeship, but this Zhang Shanyi is only in his early twenties and can complete his cultivation and become a Taoist priest in Youfang, which is really a genius.
Look at this Zhang Zhenren Law Number Tianzi generation, the air is lofty, and the bones are amazing. Although he didn't say it, Ding Lingxiu had already guessed a few points. This Zhang Shanyi is very likely to be the first generation of Taoist Heavenly Master and the descendant of Zhang Daoling.
There was some fog on the highway, and the bus driver was very cautious in driving. After entering the mountainous area, the fog became even greater, and after driving on the winding mountain road for a long time, I finally climbed to the top of the mountain. When the car drove to the top of the mountain, it immediately felt enlightened, and the mountain was in the mist, like a fairyland. As the time approached noon, the fog slowly cleared.
"We talked and laughed, and the car arrived before we knew it." Ding Lingxiu said with a smile.
"Yes, traveling with you, it's a lot of fun, haha." Zhang Shanyi laughed heartily.
They looked out of the car window, and the Guanmen Mountain was beautiful, and the clouds and mist rose in the mountains, which was even more magnificent.
"This mountain is 'left and right', as if the sun and the moon are shining, and it is really beautiful here, no wonder this monster will also choose this place to cultivate demon power." Zhang Shanyi couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, but I don't think let's study this feng shui pattern first, how to get in is a problem now." Ding Lingxiu pointed to the mountain gate blocked by the police, and frowned.
