Chapter 35: Robbery

The old man sat down and gasped and said, "Thank you Dao Chang, the little old man's surname is Zhang, just call me Old Man Zhang, we are going to Luoxing Lake to pick and Di Lian." ”

Zhang Yuan was surprised: "Falling Star Lake." He couldn't help but glance at this old man Zhang, Luoxing Lake He knew that the introduction in the book was also connected to the galaxy, and there were groups of all kinds of water monsters in it, this old man was obviously not a cultivator, and he actually said that he wanted to go in, which couldn't help but surprise him.

Old man Zhang seemed to know what he was surprised about, and explained with a grin: "The water of this Falling Star Lake will drop in two months every winter, and if it is disconnected from the galaxy, those powerful demon beasts will also leave, so we will take advantage of this time to enter the lake to collect Dilian."

"What do you do when you pick and do Tilian, you don't practice, and eating it can't prolong your life, and it doesn't have any other great effect. Zhang Yuan asked.

Old man Zhang said with a smile: "The Taoist chief doesn't know, we are under the rule of Longhu Mountain, and the mountain guardian beasts like to eat this, we pick it and send it in, and Longhu Mountain will exempt us from tribute depending on the situation." ”

Zhang Yuan suddenly realized, and secretly said that he didn't enter the Tianmu Gate like this. He asked again, "Aren't the cultivators from the Dragon and Tiger Sect coming?"

Old man Zhang saw that the people in front of him had already turned a big corner, and the people were almost out of sight, so he quickly stood up and said as he walked: "You also go, Dao Chief, you haven't been to the Falling Star Lake, the cultivators are everywhere, but they don't look down on things like Dilian, hehe, they are all staring at the treasures in the lake!"

Zhang Yuan also followed Old Man Zhang forward, and when he heard that there was a treasure, he hurriedly asked, "How do you know that they are here to look for a treasure in the lake." ”

Old man Zhang smiled and said, "Little Lao'er has also wasted a hundred years of time this year, and he comes to this lake every year to pick it, even when he sees the cultivator fighting and grabbing treasures in the sky, he has seen dozens of them. ”

Zhang Yuan didn't expect this old man to be an old horse, so he couldn't help but say: "I also want to go into the lake to have a look, so I'll follow you." ”

Old man Zhang glanced at him, and said with a little weakness: "Little Lao'er only knows the situation outside the island, but he doesn't know anything inside, all of you cultivators go to the inner island?"

Zhang Yuan secretly said that this person was really right, and said with a smile: "What kind of cultivator am I, I just want to see the scenery in the lake and see the falling star lake." ”

Turning a corner, Zhang Yuan found that the team in front of him stopped on the side of the road, as if he was arguing with someone, the old man Zhang and Zhang Yuan came to the front and asked, only to know that there were two people in front of them who blocked the road with big stones, and they were collecting tolls for ten yuan each.

Old man Zhang couldn't help but be furious and scolded: "There are so many, there are only two of them, let's just push the stone away." After saying that, he was furious and squeezed forward with his crutches.

Zhang Yuan has never used copper coins in general, but he also knows that an ordinary person has enough money a day to live, and there are ten openings here, and these people will definitely not agree, seeing the old man squeezing forward with a hot temper, he also hurriedly followed.

When he came to the front, Zhang Yuan couldn't help frowning when he saw the two of them, he found that the two of them were actually wearing the clothes of Sanqingmen, and he couldn't help but think that Zhang Er was not bad, why did the disciples below do this kind of thing to blackmail mortals.

Old man Zhang came to him, and also found the difference between the two people, and the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared, but when people came to him, it was not good not to say it, and he said head-on: "Two adults, we are all poor and lowly people, can we have one money each?" is a money, and his heart is also dripping blood.

The person on the left slashed a sword on the stone on the side, immediately cut off a large piece, and said loudly: "Our disciples of Sanqingmen are looking for you to ask for tolls to give you face, you still dare to bargain, you don't want to live." After speaking, he threw Old Man Zhang out with a wave of his hand.

Zhang Yuan stepped forward and held the old man with one hand, put him behind him, and walked forward and looked at the two coldly, the old man Zhang originally wanted to reach out and grab him, but then he thought that this Dao chief was also a cultivator, so let them say it, but he said: "Dao Chang be careful." ”

The two of them saw Zhang Yuan looking at themselves, and they also saw that he was in the enlightenment period, but they didn't care at all, and sneered: "Why do you want to stand up for these people? ”

Zhang Yuan looked at these two people and was also in the enlightenment period, and he really bullied mortals with a little cultivation, and kept talking about Sanqingmen. I couldn't help but think in my heart, if Sanqingmen were all such disciples, then I would have been blind some time ago.

The two saw that he didn't speak, and the person on the left stretched out his hand to push it again, where would Zhang Yuan let him push it, his body was biased, and the flag in his hand was also handed over, and with a "snap", the flag hit his leg bone, the man screamed, and hurriedly jumped to the back, and the person on the right shouted: "Thief Taoist, dare to sneak attack." The sword in his hand slashed directly at Zhang Yuan's neck.

Zhang Yuan saw that he was directly killed and was not polite, as soon as the flag was rolled, he wrapped the sword directly, followed the stick tail and turned to his chest, the man's sword suddenly flew out of his hand, and then was hit in the chest by the stick tail, and he fell into a coma directly.

The person on the left saw that his companion was beaten with only one move, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to step forward, jumped his feet and fled backwards, shouting in his mouth: "Stinky Taoist, you just wait for our Sanqingmen's revenge." ”

Zhang Yuan snorted coldly and made a gesture to catch up, the man was startled, and immediately fell directly to the ground, and hurriedly got up, not caring about the foot pain, running away without looking back, running away and shouting: "Stinky Taoist, you are dead, we Sanqingmen will not let you go." ”

Zhang Yuan ignored him, stepped forward and pushed the two big stones away, and instructed the villagers who were surrounding him to be grateful: "Hang that kid naked and upside down to a tree." ”

The kid was still in a coma, these people were not afraid, they stripped the person of the essence in three strokes and two strokes, and found a rope and everyone worked together to hang him to the tree, the man was also woken up by this toss, seeing that he was hanging like this, he couldn't say that he was scolding again, Zhang Yuan just turned a deaf ear, but provoked the old man Zhang, picked up a stone on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing that he was just looking at him angrily, Old Man Zhang came to Zhang Yuan's side with satisfaction, and asked curiously, "How can these disciples of the Three Qingmen do such things?"

Zhang Yuan didn't want to say good things for Sanqingmen, so he had to say vaguely: "This forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds." Then he called to the people, "Let us go." ”

Who knew that after this road, there were actually three sets of people blocking the road to collect money, all of them were disciples of Sanqingmen, one of them was a disciple of Dancheng, when he saw these people blocking the road, Zhang Yuan didn't say a word and hit him directly, and then the villagers hung upside down to the tree on the side of the road, but Zhang Yuan's face was black to the bottom of the pot, and the little good feeling for Sanqingmen in his heart was gone, and the villagers were constantly cursing Sanqingmen.

After turning over a mountain, Zhang Yuan saw a vast lake from a distance, large and small islands dotted in the lake like stars, looking at the distribution of this island, he suddenly had a feeling as if he had seen it somewhere, he thought about it carefully and really couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Zhang Yuan shook his head, pointed to a tall building by the lake and said, "That building by the lake is where we are going, right?"

Old man Zhang looked in the direction of his finger and said with a smile: "That building is the Phantom Star Pavilion, we are not qualified to enter, but we have to go to the edge of the town to rent a boat." ”

"Phantom Star Pavilion, I'll take a look later. Zhang Yuan said.

Wangshan ran away from the dead horse, it was already night when a group of people came to the lake, Zhang Yuan looked at the brightly lit Phantom Star Pavilion and said goodbye to everyone, Old Man Zhang grabbed Zhang Yuan and instructed: "Dao Chief, you must remember to come to the camphor forest over there tomorrow morning to find us." ”

Zhang Yuan came to the Phantom Star Pavilion, only to see a nine-story high-rise building, each floor is a flying eaves and arches, carved with various patterns, there are faint bursts of music floating upstairs, and see that the people who come in and out are all swords and swords to the cultivators, smiled slightly, and then walked into the door, only as soon as he entered the door, a young man in a green coat and a small hat came forward to salute and said: "This Taoist is good, may I ask whether you are eating or resting." ”

Zhang Yuan only looked at the hall, took out a spirit stone and threw it over, "Go up to the ninth floor to eat first, and then arrange a quiet place to rest." ”

The little guy smiled and said: "There are still a lot of quiet places, but this ninth floor was covered by the young head of Longhu Mountain today, do you think the eighth floor can be." ”

Zhang Yuan nodded indifferently, and the little servant immediately shouted: "There is a distinguished guest on the eighth floor." ”

Zhang Yuan followed the little guy up to the eighth floor, and saw that there were people coming and going on each floor, but although there were many people, no one was making a loud noise, they were all talking in a low voice.

On the eighth floor, the little guy arranged a position by the window, and then sat down, and all kinds of food were served up like flowing water, listening to the sound of the lake hitting the shore, feeling the taste of water in the wind, listening to the music from the building, enjoying the food, Zhang Yuan was relaxed for a while, but the Falling Star Lake in the dark night was like a monster, devouring everything around, and it looked a little scary.

Suddenly, Zhang Yuan heard someone calling him, and looked sideways, but it was Mingyan who was walking towards him excitedly, and shouted loudly as he walked: "Dao Chief, it turns out that you are also here, and I said that we will come together." He turned his head and said to the person behind him: "Senior brother, this is the palace chief." ”

Zhang Yuan saw that there were several people behind her, Zhang Ling was also among them, and the others themselves had seen it, but the middle-aged man with a big-eared expression was unusually calm in the middle, and he thought it should be the senior brother she said.

Originally, Zhang Yuan was very happy to see Mingyan, but when he thought of the Sanqingmen disciples he met on the road, he couldn't help but snort with a dark face, and said coldly: "I don't dare to bother you." ”

Mingyan didn't hear the meaning, and was loudly beckoning all the senior brothers to sit, and he pulled the senior brother and Zhang Ling to sit at Zhang Yuan's table, Zhang Yuan saw them sit down, and he was embarrassed to drive them away, but he didn't speak with a black face.

Ming Yan didn't notice his expression, pointed to the middle-aged man and introduced: "This is my senior brother Zhang Dao, my master's favorite disciple, sent to Luoxing Lake to manage this branch, so I haven't seen you before." ”

Zhang Dao had already noticed that Zhang Yuan's face was wrong, and he just thought that he had come suddenly, so he arched his hand and said: "I have long heard Mingyan say that the Taoist chief is you, and I regret that I couldn't see the Taoist chief, but I didn't expect to meet the Taoist chief here, this is the fate of thousands of miles to meet." I'm going to have a few drinks with the Taoist Chief. ”

Zhang Yuan didn't bother to serve the wine glass, but said coldly: "I'm not blessed to drink with you disciples of the Great Sect. ”

Even Mingyan couldn't hear that something was wrong, so he suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "Dao Chief, you have made your words clear, and I will treat you badly." ”

Zhang Ling also said: "Yes, is there any misunderstanding between the Dao Chief." ”

Zhang Yuan is not a person who is in Tibet, and immediately told him about the disciples of Sanqingmen blocking the road to collect money on the road, and the disciples of Sanqingmen on the side all looked at each other.
