Outside, the sky was falling, and I had to breathe fire on time for alchemy, and at noon the alchemy furnace began to inhale and exhaust again, gathering a strange cloud on the top of the mountain.

Seventy or eighty good men and women gathered inside and outside the small temple, and when they saw the vision, they naturally kowtowed like pounding garlic, or sought wealth and prosperity, or begged for the sick to recover as soon as possible, or begged their children to get good results in the college entrance examination.

When these people came down from the mountain, they went around proclaiming the wonders they had seen, and many of them saw them from afar, and the neighbors were alarmed. So the next day, that is, the forty-fifth day of my alchemy, there was an endless stream of people who went up the mountain to see the "miracles", coming and going, as many as thousands of people, and at night there were still people who stayed on the mountain and waited to see the wonders.

I secretly worried that the reaction of the people was stronger than I expected, and that if I went down like this, the mountain would be trampled a few inches lower, and the whole world would be alarmed. But it's not all bad, the people who boiled the stone road collected a lot of incense money, and many people also expressed their willingness to contribute money and efforts to rebuild the temple and reshape the golden body, and the famous name of fairy milk Welling spread far and wide.

On the morning of the forty-sixth day, there were still many people who went up the mountain, and they all got up before dawn to set off, so they could arrive so early, which shows their sincerity. But after about ten o'clock, there were fewer people going up the mountain, and soon it was said that the way up the mountain had been blocked by a large cap, and they were not allowed to go up the mountain.

Near noon, a group of uniformed people arrived at the top of the hill with several cadre-looking people, claiming to be city, town, and village leaders and meteorological experts. They took the stone cooks aside for questioning, and I heard their conversation clearly.

Leader A: "What's your name, are you a regular Taoist priest?" ”

Boiled stone Taoist: "Ah, I'm not a Taoist priest, I'm an old man guarding the temple." ”

Leader A said sternly: "What method did you use to create smoke and deceive so many people, do you know that this is a crime?" ”

Boiling Stone Daoist: "My name is Boiling Stone, and I can cook rice, and I can't do anything else." ”

Leader B: "You dare to quibble, you create panic, spread rumors, illegally accumulate money, the impact is very bad, and if you don't confess honestly, you will be arrested and imprisoned!" ”

Cook Shidaoren: "I don't drink alcohol, I don't eat meat, I don't wear new clothes, I don't want money." ”

Everyone was speechless, boiled stone wore shabby clothes that others didn't want, usually only eat rice and pickles, etc., life was very simple, the facts were in front of him, what kind of wealth did he collect.

Leader C: "He used to be an old madman, and his son ignored him, so he hid here to eat and drink, pretending to be a ghost, he must have made it!" ”

Boiled Stone Daoren: "Your father used to be my student. ”

“……”

I almost laughed out loud, I really didn't expect the stone cooker to scold people so cleverly. If he is a madman, aren't the students he teaches also mad? How good can a son born of a madman be?

Everyone continued to interrogate the people who boiled the stone in a very unfriendly tone. The people who boiled the stone road didn't know what to do, pretending to be stupid, and these people couldn't do anything to him.

Leaders and experts began to persuade the villagers to leave, and in the midst of an atheistic speech and education, the clouds on the top of the mountain formed a mist and coalesced into a dragon-shaped cloud belt, with a head and a tail, with distinct horns and claws, and it was swimming and changing. In the face of such a vision, all the villagers knelt down and kowtowed, the experts who were talking about it closed their mouths, and a few leaders quietly knelt down and kowtowed a few times while others were not paying attention.

The dragon-like cloud qi swirled back and forth for a long time, and it took more than ten minutes to disperse. Experts are experts, and soon there was a statement, what kind of high-pressure and low-pressure water vapor condensation, etc., it is normal for clouds to appear on the top of a high mountain. The leaders continued to persuade the villagers to go down the mountain, and their attitude was much better than before, and coupled with the deterrent effect of the uniforms, they finally persuaded everyone to leave.

I probed the bottom of the mountain with my divine sense, and sure enough, the only way up the mountain and several roads leading to the village were guarded, and most of the people who wanted to go up the mountain to burn incense were kind and timid, and although there were some disputes after being blocked, there was no big trouble.

This is definitely not a good thing, ordinary villagers can't come up, and those who want to trouble me can let go, but I'm afraid that I will have to do it tonight.

Alas, there are still four days to go!

I began to retract my senses, and suddenly found that there were four people in the woods in the middle of the mountain probing their brains, it was Ling Fengpiao, Ouyang Zhenfei, Compass and Huang Yilan, why did they come?

I secretly shouted badly, isn't it equivalent to telling Lu Chengshan that I'm here? They may be able to help me a little, but once Lu Chengshan arrives with a master, they will be regarded as my comrades, and they will be in big trouble, and they can't say anything clearly, and they must not be allowed to participate in this matter.

When my divine consciousness reached the small temple, I said to the person who boiled the stone, "My junior brother and sister and a few friends have come up to the mountain, and you tell them that I am not on the mountain, and no matter what method you use, drive them down the mountain immediately." ”

The boiling stone Daoist hesitated for a moment, then nodded to show understanding.

More than an hour later, the four of them arrived at the top of the mountain, and as soon as they entered the temple, they asked where I was. The boiled stone Taoist said, "He's not 'here'. ”

"No way, he must be here, I'll go take a look below!" Ling Fengpiao said and walked out, he and Ouyang Zhenfei had lived in the alchemy room for a while, of course they knew the entrance.

"If you want to kill the two of them, do whatever you want, otherwise go down the mountain immediately and don't look for him everywhere." ”

Ling Fengpiao immediately stopped, and Ouyang Zhenfei asked, "Dao Chief, what happened to my senior brother?" ”

"He's fine."

Ouyang Zhenfei didn't believe it at all: "If he's okay, why hasn't he come to look for us for so long, and someone has been monitoring us, something must have happened." ”

Boiling Shi said: "When he can go to you, he will naturally go to you, and if he doesn't go to you, it means that it is inconvenient for him to meet you." ”

Ling Feng floated and said, "Okay, I believe your words, but you at least tell me about him and my sister-in-law, right?" I heard that in the past few days, auspicious clouds and rui qi have gathered here, what is going on? ”

Boiling Shi turned around and walked to the futon and sat down: "The mountain temple is simple, and we will not accept distant guests." ”

The four of them were embarrassed, and Kompsu said: "Since there are many inconveniences, let's go down the mountain, don't make it difficult for others." ”

Ling Fengpiao said: "I know my senior brother best, he must be in big trouble, I am afraid that it will drag us down, so he refuses to see us, so I want to see him even more, otherwise I am still his brother?" ”

The boiling stone Daoist couldn't hold his breath and jumped up: "Why are you little guys more stubborn than my old man?" ”

Ling Feng said: "When I first met my brother, I didn't have money to eat, he gave me more than half of the money on his body, we didn't know each other at that time, what kind of spirit is this?" Let's not talk about the rest, the most recent time, he ran here with me in one breath and pulled me back from the ghost gate, and now he is in trouble, can I hide to the side? ”

Boiling stone had nothing to say, so I had to come forward and concentrate my thoughts on him: "Now you can't help, don't make a mess, live well, and carry forward what you have learned, which is the best reward for me." ”

Ling Feng couldn't see me when he was spinning around, so he knelt down with a "plop" and cried loudly: "Senior brother, it turns out that you have already returned to heaven!" ”

"What, Senior Brother is dead?" Ouyang Zhenfei also cried, and tears fell as soon as she said it.

I almost vomited blood and shouted, "Get down the mountain at once, and in four days I'll go down and blow your heads!" ”

The two were stunned for a moment, and quickly turned sadness into joy: "It's the true character of the senior brother." "It seems that the senior brother is not dead!"

Finally drove the four of them away, and it didn't take long for it to get dark, and I felt that the surroundings were very quiet and depressing, and it seemed that even the night insects didn't call much. In the afternoon, the sky was still clear, but it was also cloudy and the wind was howling.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, people appeared in all directions, surrounding the small temple from a distance, and several of them were not far from the entrance of the cave. These people are all cultivators without exception, both Taoist and vulgar, and the fluctuations of true qi emitted from their bodies are also different, and it seems that righteous people have joined forces to hunt me down.

This time, I am afraid that they will not be able to hide, and they must have chosen to appear at this time, they must have to observe with their own eyes where the aura auspicious clouds came from. If they find out early, and I don't finish replenishing the fire in the alchemy furnace, things will be in trouble. But even if I survive tonight, there are still a little more than three days to go, and there will be more people, more masters, and all kinds of means......

When he was about to get to the main point, Lu Chengshan also appeared, and a group of seven people walked up to the top of the mountain and stood at the gate of the temple without saying a word. Among the seven people, two of them have a higher cultivation level than Lu Chengshan, and the other four are about the same level as Lu Chengshan. The people who were ambushed around were not generalists, but compared to Lu Chengshan's seven people, they were slightly inferior.

When the hour came, it was time to replenish the fire of the alchemy furnace, it was a blessing or a curse, it was a curse that could not be avoided, and I began to spit out the samadhi true fire into the ding as usual. The alchemy furnace began to absorb the spiritual energy, and the nearby spiritual energy naturally fluctuated, and most of the people on the mountain and down the mountain were alarmed. However, the high-level eye barrier at the entrance of the cave not only has the effect of camouflage, but also has the effect of isolating the aura, so the masters outside can only sense that the spiritual power fluctuations are coming from the belly of the mountain.

Lu Chengshan shouted angrily: "Zhang Xuanming, come out, I know you are hiding here!" ”

I concentrated on spitting fire and alchemy, ignoring him. Lu Chengshan shouted again: "One person does things and one person is responsible, do you have the courage to kill people and seize treasures, but don't you have the courage to face it?" You wolf-hearted thing, I treat you like a child, deliberately cultivated, and worked hard to perfect you, but you poisoned my Taoist friend for the sake of treasure, cold-blooded and ruthless, and mad ......"

Whatever he said, I was still concentrating on my own business. Lu Chengshan finished scolding, and changed to a serious tone: "I warned you a long time ago not to associate with the female demon head of the blood jade, you young man can't hold it, and it is also tempted by that demon girl to be confused for a while." If you have remorse, you should come out and say it well, have the courage to take responsibility, and change your ways......"

Of course, Lu Chengshan didn't really want me to reform himself, nor did he want to trick me out, he said these words to his companions, and the more tolerant he became, the more despicable I became. Anyone who hears it thinks that I have an improper relationship with the blood jade, so I have more crimes such as being in the company of demons, being tempted by beauty, and being willing to fall, etc., and there is a motive for killing people and taking treasures.

Sure enough, everyone was very angry when they heard this, and some people rushed into the small temple and rummaged around, and some of the people who were in ambush around began to search in the middle.

"There's a cave here!" One of the guys screamed excitedly, and he knocked it with a stick, and it hit the hole just right now, and the hole was found!
