The three of them ran all night, until they could not see the pursuers behind, and then they stopped, and seeing that the sky was about to dawn, they did not toss and found a hidden cave to rest. Zhou Dian is talented, running like this with a dry corpse on his back, his spirit is still so full, Zhou Xing and Lin Qi are not good, they are covered in sweat, their faces have changed color, and they are panting like dogs sticking out their tongues.

Zhou Dian put the dried corpse in a remote corner, and shouted at Zhou Xing: "Dad, I didn't eat enough yesterday, and I ran all night with a dead ghost, and my stomach cramped with hunger, you have silver now, let's buy big buns to eat." ”

Zhou Xing leaned against the stone wall and gasped, and when he saw Zhou Dian in high spirits, he didn't get angry, nor did he stand up, so he pointed at his nose and scolded: "If you hadn't eaten cinnabar as chili noodles, Lao Tzu wouldn't have to run so quickly, and you still want to eat big buns?" There are no steamed buns, there are still a few dry steamed buns left in the baggage, you can eat them if you want, and you can leave them for Lao Tzu if you don't want to eat. ”

Zhou Dian glared and said, "Why are you so slammed, you don't spend the money you earn, what are you doing with it?" Do you still want to find me a stepmother? ”

Zhou Xing rolled his eyes angrily, Lin Qi saw it, and hurriedly persuaded: "Master, senior brother is this innocent surname, you don't have to be angry." ”

Zhou Xing didn't know what kind of virtue his son was, if he really wanted to be angry with him, he wouldn't be able to give birth. After thinking about it, he took out some scattered silver from his arms, and said to Lin Qi: "We don't have much dry food, the master is old, and he has to drive the corpse at night, and he can't walk far, you take this bit of silver and look around, if you can find a town, buy some cinnabar and come back, and buy some buns." Speaking of the last sentence, he winked at Lin Qi.

Lin Qi is smart and doesn't understand what the master means, in fact, it is very simple, now it is not easy to live in this world, in order to earn some silver, the master's life is on the line, and he has caught up the corpse of the thief, Zhou Dian is also an edible person, if he really buys buns to eat, I am afraid that the fifty taels of silver will not be able to eat for a few days. He also understood why the master didn't let Zhou Dian go, as far as Zhou Dian's surname was concerned, he would not care if he was happy that he had to buy food, cinnabar or something.

Lin Qi squeezed his eyes at Zhou Xing, signaling that he understood, Zhou Dian smiled slightly, and also felt that the cheap disciple he accepted was a smart and clever person, and he was a good helper when he walked the rivers and lakes.

When Zhou Dian heard that there were steamed buns to eat, he immediately jumped up and said loudly: "Dad, I'm hungry, let's go buy steamed buns with Xiaolinzi." ”

"What are you going to do? If the pursuers come, your father and I can't resist it, so you will honestly wait here. After speaking, he stood up and dragged over the baggage, there were only four shriveled steamed buns left, Zhou Xing handed one to Lin Qi, and took another talisman and stuffed it at the corner of his clothes, and said: "Eat something to have strength, you have this talisman on your body, even if our master and apprentice are separated, the master can always find you, go and go back quickly." ”

Zhou Xingzhen's face was cold, Zhou Dian didn't dare to say more, swallowed and spit, and instructed Lin Qi: "Xiao Linzi, then you go and come back quickly, buy more buns, less is not enough to eat." ”

Lin Qi smiled and agreed, took the silver, took the steamed bun, and walked out of the cave, this day has already been brightened, and the East Mountain is said in the distance, and the whole world is shrouded in the glow of the ten thousand ways, seeing such a scene, Lin Qi is not in a good mood, sighs, and walks quickly towards the place where there is cooking smoke.

While walking, while gnawing on dry steamed buns, while pondering, I used to think that these strange people on the rivers and lakes were all brocade clothes and angry horses, righteous and squandering money, and had never heard of worrying about money, but now when I see it, it is not the case at all, Zhou Xing is also a capable person, but he is poor like this, and he can't wait to break it in half for a penny, and the gap with his imagination is too big, and a thought can't help but arise in his heart, are those heroes written in the book true?

He is still young, he can't understand the key to this, he just feels a little frustrated, but he has to fight hard to find someone, he is also lucky, not far from here, there is really a big village, although it is not a town, but it is not much smaller than an ordinary town, and there are food sellers in the village.

Lin Qi wanted to buy dry food first, but after thinking about it, if the cinnabar was not enough, it would be very bad, and he couldn't always let Zhou Dian carry the dry corpse through the mountains and mountains along the way, and the money given by the master was so much, so he still bought cinnabar first, and made up his mind to find someone to inquire, there is really a Langzhong in this village.

Lin Qi first bought one or two cinnabar from Langzhong, and the rest bought more than forty steamed buns, and used the clothes on his body to make a big bag and carry it back to the mountain, which came and went for half a day, and when he returned to the cave, it was already noon, Zhou Xing fell asleep and couldn't wake up, and Zhou Buan had been waiting for Lin Qi to come back.

Seeing Lin Qi coming back with a big bag, Zhou Dian jumped out and didn't speak, his eyes lit up and took the burden he was carrying, and he couldn't wait to open it to see what buns were there, all of them were steamed buns, and shouted at Lin Qi in disappointment: "Didn't my father let you buy steamed buns, why did you buy a bun of steamed buns and come back?" ”

Lin Qi said with a smile: "There is no town around here, there is only a village, and there are no steamed buns sold in it, only steamed buns, I think if I don't buy it back, this road is long, and I don't know when I have to go, so it's good to buy some first, and then buy it when there are steamed buns." ”

While the two were talking, Zhou Xing woke up, and was also happy to see Lin Qi coming back so early, and he couldn't help but smile when he coaxed his son to be stunned. Zhou Dian still didn't relent: "I said I was going to buy steamed buns, I didn't even sleep, and after waiting for this morning, I waited for a bun of steamed buns, yesterday's steamed buns, today's steamed buns, and tomorrow's steamed buns, all say that I look ugly, and I don't eat steamed buns...... Xiao Linzi is also a dead eye, without buns, can't you buy some pickles or come back? ”

Lin Qi smiled and didn't speak, Zhou Xing scolded Zhou Dian a few words, asked him to take the jar to find the mountain spring water, fetch the water back, the three of them ate with cold water, and they all fell asleep, Lin Qi was already tired, this sleep was dark, and it was already dark when he woke up.

With cinnabar, Zhou Xing began to cast spells, this next time it will be spiritual, Lin Qi saw that under Zhou Xing's spell, the dry corpse that had been dead for at least half a month stood up in a daze, Lin Qi who watched this scene was in a cold sweat, but said in his heart, it turned out that those secret methods were true, and he could be regarded as a capable person after following Zhou Xing to learn these.

Thinking of this, he became eager, carefully watched Zhou Xing's every move and secretly studied, and got up the corpse, Zhou Xing asked Zhou Dian to shake a small copper bell, this copper bell has a famous hall, called the soul bell, which is an indispensable magic weapon for driving away corpses, and ringing the soul bell is to guide the soul of the dead, on the other hand, if you encounter a stubborn soul, you will use it to charm the soul of the soul. In addition, there is a gong to drive away the corpse, which is a warning to the living, so that night walkers can avoid it, and those who have dogs lock up the dogs.

Zhou Xing's chases of the corpse is very different, let Zhou Dian walk in front, only the soul bell in his hand, no gong, and I don't know what secret technique he used, how Zhou Dian walked in front, the dry corpse in the back followed, Zhou Xing stepped through a hurdle in front, and when the dry corpse got close, he also stepped over that hurdle, even the posture was the same, very magical, and it looked very relaxed.

The three masters and apprentices went out day and night, avoiding the avenue, taking the mountain path, half a month passed in a blink of an eye, along the way, Zhou Xing began to teach Lin Qi Zhengyi's practice of qi, and some simple spells, spells, Lin Qi's qualifications are good, he will learn it, he will be fine, he is simply a genius-like demonic character, which makes Zhou Xing very surprised, only feel that he is a cheap apprentice who really picked up the right one, with Lin Qi's qualifications, he came to the mountain gate, I am afraid that he will personally guide the master, and he really can't teach him too much.

In this world, the inheritance is the most important, and the disciples with good qualifications can sometimes support a sect, those sects that are gradually declining, which one is not declining because of the bad inheritance?

With such thoughts, Zhou Xing took it seriously, he didn't dare to teach too much, just taught him some basics, taught some Taoist scriptures, and thought about letting Lin Qi lay a good foundation, and when he returned to the mountain gate, he handed Lin Qi over to the real person in charge of the teaching, which was also a great achievement.

Unconsciously, it has been to the territory of Shandong, and then there will be seven or eight days to Huanglinggang, and the three of them will be faster, this night, the corpse is driven to a wasteland, the autumn wind is bleak, the moon is particularly bright, and the heaven and earth are miserable and white.

The three masters and apprentices were very silent, Lin Qi was because he wanted to digest what Zhou Xing taught him, Zhou Xing was because he was thinking about what he would teach Lin Qi tomorrow, Zhou Dian was hungry again, no one spoke, the silence was a little terrible, and I don't know how long it had passed, and suddenly there was a melodious flute sound in the distance.

Lin Qi looked up blankly, the withered grass in front of him was continuous, and he didn't know how long it would take to get out of this wasteland, and then looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw that more than ten zhang away on the right, an old man and a young man were also moving forward slowly, it seemed that they were also going to get out of this wasteland, the little one was about the same age as him, handsome and handsome, a little feminine, playing a piccolo, the voice was melodious, but there was an indescribable desolation in the ears, the old man was in his sixties, holding a big eye bag pot in his hand, smoking while walking, A dark red light shimmered in the night.

The strange thing is that the two of them did not go side by side, but one in front of the other, and there was a distance of about a zhang in between, accompanied by the sound of the flute, and there was a rustle in the middle of the grass...... Similar to the sound of the wind blowing through the grass, if you look closely, Lin Qi is even more confused, they walk through the wild grass, they will always suppress the pressure of the wild grass, but as soon as the person passes, the wild grass will bounce back immediately, and it will not change much.

But these two people are a little different, the difference is that the middle of the two is empty, but when walking through the grass, the weeds in the middle are also empty, as if the distance between the two and the middle is a whole, and when the old man walks over, the weeds will bounce back, which is a little incredible, not to mention the rustling...... The sound also came from that direction, and what was it that made this sound?

Lin Qi turned his head to look at Zhou Xing, but saw Zhou Xing looking at the old man and smiled slightly, and raised his hand, the old man also raised his eye bag and shook it at Zhou Xing, the two of them seemed to be greeting, Lin Qi wanted to ask, but before he could speak, he heard his master whisper: "The road is facing the sky, go to one side, don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" ”

Lin Qi responded and was silent, silently moving forward, the old and the young ignored them, and also moved forward slowly, under the sound of the flute, the two sides maintained a wonderful tacit understanding, but Lin Qi was secretly strange in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask, so he walked away with two pillars of incense and went out of the wasteland.

Out of the wasteland, Lin Qi turned his head to look at the old man and the young man, and saw that they could come out in a few more steps, and he knew what was between the two of them. At this moment, behind a large camphor tree in front of him, a man in green clothes flashed out to block the way, and said to them: "It's Zhu Youke's disciple who came?" I don't know who it is, Huang, Lu, Chen, Zhang, which one? ”
