Chapter 022: The Old Taoist Priest Enters the City
The old Taoist priest cast a retreat spell, crossed the nameless mountain in an instant, and came to Jiaozhi City in the southern Vermilion Bird Country alone. On an open ground more than a hundred miles away from Jiaozhi City, Feitian, the leader of the Immortal Realm, was leading a group of immortals wearing silver-white immortal robes at this time and was preparing to storm Jiaozhi City. The old Taoist priest recognized Feitian, the leader of the immortal realm, and the group of great immortals under him from a distance of more than 100 zhang. Considering that the appearance of the Taoist priest would attract the attention of the five worlds of gods, immortals, demons, ghosts, and demons, he decided to disguise himself. I saw that the old Taoist priest cast a spell and turned into an ordinary ordinary person in rags, and the peachwood sword on his waist suddenly turned into a rusty hoe, and named himself "Zhang San".
Feitian, the leader of the immortal realm, took out the vermilion bird fire bead from his arms at this time and embedded it in the battle armor inside his immortal robe. In an instant, the armor and robe turned vermilion, glowing like a flame. At the same time, the group of great immortals in silver-white immortal robes behind him performed their own exercises, invariably transmitting mana to his body. Feitian, the leader of the fairy realm, kept waving the silver-white demon slaying sword in his hand towards Jiaozhi City. The sword aura was extremely powerful, and wherever it passed, the flowers and trees on the ground were instantly scorched, emitting a pungent smell. For a while, the earth was filled with the smell of scorched flowers, trees, and leaves, and bursts of white smoke rose from the ground. When the sword qi collided with the spiritual power screen of the ancient divine beast Vermilion Bird in Jiaozhi City, it emitted an earth-shattering and deafening explosion. I don't know why, no matter how he wields it, he can't break the spiritual power screen of the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast. The harder you wield it, the more powerful it became. In this way, the leader of the fairy world, Feitian, danced and waved for a while, after consuming a lot of mana, this Jiaozhi City was still intact, he saw that it took a lot of effort and could not play any role, the more angry he was, and finally simply stopped, and fiercely inserted his demon slaying sword into the ground, making a "boom" explosion sound, blowing up a few small stones, and at this time, the demon slaying sword also changed back to the original white color when he used mana to swing it just now. Zhang San, a common man incarnated by an old Taoist priest, was alone at this time carrying a rusty hoe in front of Feitian, the leader of the fairy world, and the group of great immortals under him, and looked back at this group of immortals from time to time. Feitian, the leader of the fairy realm, was very annoyed when he saw that this commoner was dressed in tatters, and he dared to look around when he passed by him, so he waved his hand and shouted to drive him away.
"Where did you come from the wild people of the mountain village, don't leave quickly!" This common person heard that the leader of the fairy realm Feitian was so unkind, so he stood in place and thought: "This guy is the leader of the fairy world, Feitian, with the treasure Vermilion Bird Fire Bead in his hand, he can't even break through the screen of this Cochin City, it seems that the mana of this Vermilion Bird Divine Beast is really very powerful." Seeing that the common people ignored what he had just said, Feitian, the leader of the Immortal Realm, rushed forward with one foot and blocked his way. Seeing that the leader of the fairy realm flew up to block his way, Zhang San, a commoner, thought that something was wrong, so he said to him with a hippie smile: "This big brother, why are you blocking my way?"
"Didn't you hear what I said just now?" Feitian, the leader of the immortal realm, shouted loudly, this commoner Zhang San felt very uncomfortable when he heard it, isn't he just an immortal who has become an immortal? What is the big deal? I dare to be so rude to me, I will find an opportunity to teach you a lesson another day. Feitian, the leader of the fairy realm, saw that the common people were stunned, and then scolded him loudly: "Are you deaf and dumb?
"The little one has been on fire lately, so it's inconvenient to speak. Zhang San, a civilian, said with a smile.
"Are you going to the city?" Feitian, the leader of the fairy world, suddenly burst out, frightening the common people Zhang San sweated in his heart, he was afraid that this guy in front of him would make a move, it didn't matter if he lived or died, it was just bad if it was bad.
"Hmm. Zhang San, a commoner, nodded at this time.
"You didn't respect this great immortal just now, and now you will be punished by kowtowing three times to show respect!" After hearing this, Zhang San, a common man, suddenly became angry in his heart, staring at him with hatred. When the leader of the immortal realm Fei Tian saw that this mortal in front of him dared to stare at him, he scolded sharply: "I asked you to knock my head three times, why are you staring at me like this? Do you want to start a fight?" Zhang San, a common man, was very annoyed when he heard the word "fight", this immortal is too arrogant and arrogant, what does it have to do with me if he can't attack this Jiaozhi City? He actually lost his temper at me, is it because I am a common person? His rudeness to me today is really unbearable. If it weren't for the fact that my apprentice's wounds hadn't healed, I would have given you a little bitterness today. The leader of the fairy realm, Feitian, saw that the common people were stunned again, so he stretched out the two fingers of his right hand, the index finger and the middle finger, and used his mana to point at the knees of his two feet, and the common man Zhang San immediately knelt down in front of him.
"Since you have knelt down to apologize to this great immortal, I will spare you for the sake of being so pious. Hurry up, don't get in my way!" Feitian, the leader of the fairy realm, waved his hand proudly. Seeing that the leader of the immortal realm, Feitian, was so arrogant, the common people Zhang San naturally gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack immediately, so he had to swallow his anger for the time being and walked away unhappy. After the common people Zhang San left, Feitian, the leader of the immortal realm, said to the group of great immortals under him: "Hmph, this mortal really doesn't know the height of the sky, I am here to fight with the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, and he actually came over to watch." I was afraid of hurting him, so I deliberately drove him away. After hearing this, all the great immortals were silent.
After walking for about two hours, Zhang San, a commoner, finally came to the south gate of Jiaozhi City in the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, and when he was about to enter the city, the captain of the soldiers guarding the city blocked his way with a crescent-shaped vermilion long-handled broadsword.
"Who?" shouted the captain of the guards guarding the city.
"Oh, I'm a farmer from outside the city, and it's a bit of a problem to go into the city this time. Ordinary people Zhang San said.
"Show me your left arm. When the commoner Zhang San heard this, he had to put down the rusty hoe on his shoulder, exposing his left arm for the captain of the soldiers guarding the city to inspect.
"Alright, it's okay, you can go in. The captain of the guards waved his hand. At this time, Zhang San, a commoner, picked up the rusty hoe again and strode towards Jiaozhi City.
Zhang San, a common man, entered the city of Jiaozhi City, and what caught his eyes was still a straight blue brick avenue and various shops beside the avenue. Go forward for more than 50 zhang, this is the market in the city of Jiaozhi. For some reason, the flow of people in the market today was unusually unusual, and it was unusually crowded. Also, for some reason, all the shops are decorated with lights, as if there is something festive. When the common people Zhang San saw this, he stretched out his fingers and calculated, it turned out that today was the first day of the new year, and the Suzaku Divine Beast Worship Conference was held twice a month. Great, it looks like I can buy a lot of Suzaku flowers today. Thinking of this, the hearts of ordinary people Zhang San were very excited.
Zhang San, a common man, looked around in the market, only to see the various stall vendors in the market waving and shouting. He ignored these various vendors, but walked straight to a stall vendor selling herbs, and said, "This boss, is that all you have here for Vermilion Birds?" When he looked up and saw that it was a farmer who was dressed in tatters and carrying a rusty hoe on his shoulder, he was very disdainful of him, so he said in an arrogant tone: "Come on, just order Vermilion Bird Flowers, and you don't have any silver to buy." Seeing that the stall vendor was so arrogant, Zhang San, a common man, took out a glittering gold ingot from his bosom and threw it in front of him. The vendor was taken aback when he saw the ingot of gold in front of him, and was immediately dumbfounded, because this ingot of gold was worth three hundred taels of silver, which could buy a lot of Vermilion Bird flowers in the city of Cochin. When the ordinary Zhang San saw that the stall vendor was stunned, he scolded: "Hey, in broad daylight, why are you in a daze? Is there any Vermilion Bird Flower? Answer me quickly, don't waste my time!" The stall vendor was not angry when he heard the words of the ordinary man Zhang San, but said with a hippie smile: "This guest officer, don't worry, I still have a lot of stock at home, I will go home and get it for you." ”
"How much stock?" Zhang San, a commoner, then asked.
"That's more than 20 times that of here. The stall vendor gestured with two hands.
"And where do you live?"
"My home is in Suzaku Village, ten miles away from the gate of the east of the city. After hearing this, Zhang San, a common man, frowned, and then said: "It will take an hour to go back and forth from here, and in this way, it will definitely delay my time." ”
"Don't get in the way, I've got the carriage, at most half an hour. ”
"I think so, I'll just go home with you. When the stall vendor heard this, he readily agreed.
Zhang San, a common man, got into the carriage of the stall vendor, and the two chatted after leaving Jiaozhi City.
"What do you call this guest officer?"
"Oh, my name is Zhang San. Zhang San, a common man, replied.
"I would like to ask you, why do you want so many Vermilion Birds?" asked the vendor, puzzled.
"Some villagers in my village accidentally fell down the mountain when they went up the mountain to collect medicine, so I spent a lot of money to buy some Vermilion Bird flowers for them to heal. ”
"You are really a kind person, and you are so generous, you must be a big family, right?" said the stall vendor with a smile, his expression and tone full of respect for Zhang San, the tattered-clad ordinary man in front of him.
"Why do you ask this question?" Zhang San, a commoner, suddenly said, frightening the stall vendor a little at a loss. However, this stall vendor is still a clever person in the end, and he can observe words and feelings, and he thinks that it is better to go straight to the point at this time.
"I have a younger sister who is not married. I wonder if you're already married?" said the stall vendor seriously, and the ordinary man Zhang San laughed when he heard it, which made the stall vendor's heart very puzzled. Ordinary people Zhang San never dreamed that he would be transformed from a Taoist priest into a common man this time, and he was still a Taoist priest who was close to his sixtieth birthday, and someone wanted to be a matchmaker for him, this kind of thing was the first time he encountered it in his life, so he would inevitably feel funny and funny in his heart.
