Chapter 21: The Demon Road in the Mountains
Meng Taixu turned around and saw that the young man also had his hands behind his back, staring at the waterfall with a smile on his face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Look at that waterfall, no matter how many bluestones block it, it will break everything and merge into the river and flow to the sea. Can you?"
Zhuo Zangfeng naturally understood what he meant, and replied, "Yes." ”
Meng Taixu nodded, "Okay! This process is extremely painful, you have to be prepared." ”
"Then do I want to apprentice?" Zhuo Zangfeng suddenly asked such a funny question.
Duan Qianhua once said that Meng Taixu had long stopped accepting apprentices. He didn't know if this Taoist priest had agreed to help him, which was equivalent to agreeing to accept him as an apprentice.
Meng Taixu's eldest apprentice is already a hundred years old, with a large white beard, and is now in charge of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
And among the disciples of this Heavenly Sword Sect is His Majesty the Emperor of the Dynasty.
Since he ascended the throne as a king, His Majesty the Emperor has also reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he is the disciple and grandson of Meng Taixu.
If Zhuo Zangfeng is accepted as an apprentice, then won't His Majesty the Emperor of the Ninety-Five Honor also call him uncle?
The Heavenly Sword Sect is the first sect of cultivation in the world, and the sect attaches great importance to etiquette and education.
In the cultivation world, Meng Taixu's name is like the Beidou in the sky, and he is known as the Sword Saint. But in the world, his name is only seen in legends.
This good-tempered Taoist priest has a high level of cultivation, far beyond those magical legends, he has always been kind to his disciples and grandchildren, in addition to preaching and receiving karma, more often than not, he is a benevolent elder, or a very equal friend.
Everyone was with him without the slightest pressure, and everyone who knew how to practice seemed to be able to feel boundless pressure in his peaceful qi.
Such a good-tempered old man, there is not a single person in the Heavenly Sword Sect, and even in the entire cultivation world, who does not respect him.
Zhuo Zangfeng was nervous, thinking about Duan Qianhua's entrustment, thinking about whether to grind this old Taoist priest?
Although Meng Taixu promised to help him, it seems that he has no intention of accepting apprentices.
But for the old sword saint, from the outside, the young man in front of him was smart and sensitive, and he had an unyielding toughness, but he didn't know what his character was.
The Heavenly Sword Sect is extremely strict in selecting disciples, and if they have poor conduct, even if they are talented, they will not hesitate to turn them away.
It was because Meng Lao Sword Saint couldn't stop groaning, and he wanted to test this young man again.
The items in the "Immortal Jade Divine Box" have enough confidence in the treatment of the young man, and this time he watched the waterfall, seeing the water constantly washing away the rocks, and the rocks shrinking year by year, which reminded him of the young man's delicate meridians.
Suddenly, my heart was like a bright light.
However, he didn't dare to look at the "Immortal Jade Divine Box" again, he was afraid that if he looked at it again, he couldn't help but open the box.
He has a steady personality, and he will not rush to open the box until he has a foolproof plan.
Zhuo Zangfeng was most anxious to open the god box, the old monster was mysterious, Meng Laodao dodged and dodged, and refused to say what was hidden in the box.
Judging from the conversation between the great protector of the Dragon Domain and the old monster, this box seems to be the treasure of the Dragon Domain, which the old monster gave up his freedom in exchange.
But what is anxious is that Meng Taixu neither agreed nor refused to apprentice, and that noncommittal look really couldn't guess what he was thinking.
After that, the two lived in the cave. Zhuo Zangfeng lived in a place similar to a house outside, and Meng Taixu was accommodated in the stone cave at the back.
As the days passed, Meng Taixu nagged him about many strange things in the cultivation world, and also warned him about the etiquette taboos that he needed to pay attention to when walking the rivers and lakes and outside the square, but he didn't mention the matter of opening the box.
The "Immortal Jade Divine Box" was hidden by the old Taoist priest in the back stone cave, and it seemed to be occupied by him, and it was only handed over to Zhuo Zangfeng when he asked to take it out to open the box to see the light of day.
Meng Taixu cooked a good dish, and the wild vegetable soup can also make a unique flavor of the dish, which is many times stronger than the bland and tasteless food of the old Taoist priest of Qingyunguan.
On this day, I was thinking about whether Meng Laodao didn't have the ability to open the box and deliberately shirked it, but when he saw him walking out of the cave, his expression was slightly different from usual, and Zhuo Zangfeng hurriedly followed behind.
Walking all the way to the waterfall, Meng Taixu showed a thoughtful expression on his face, just looking at the waterfall in a daze.
Zhuo Zangfeng was a little bored, sat on the ground, and occasionally turned his head to catch a glimpse of a group of farmers with hoes and sickles rushing up the mountain.
Zhuo Zangfeng hurriedly stood up, walked behind Meng Taixu, tugged at his sleeve, and pointed it out to him.
Meng Tai said lightly: "What are you panicking about?"
There were about a dozen of them, dressed in hats and hats, and they walked up to the two of them noisily.
The farmers couldn't help but scold when they saw that Meng Taixu was still watching the scenery with great interest.
"Old Demon Dao, since you came to Guleng Mountain, we have been restless here, either the chicken died, or the dog died, and recently it was out of control, and the whole village died nine ploughing cattle one after another. ”
Meng Taixu didn't seem to hear it, and turned away from looking at the peasants.
"Old Demon Dao, our whole village father and elder discussed it, and everyone unanimously agreed to drive you out of Gulen Mountain. ”
Mrs. Meng ignored it, and her expression was light.
Zhuo Zangfeng couldn't help but jump over and asked at the crowd, "Why are you calling him a demon?"
A stout peasant held a hoe in one hand and pointed at Meng Taixu with the other, and said angrily: "You young man, don't be bewitched by this demonic way. Although our village is not rich, but it is also peaceful, since this demon road lives in the mountains, the village often dies of chickens and dogs, and these livestock are all in the same appearance, a hole in the throat, obviously by the demon road sucking blood and died. ”
But that doesn't prove that he did it. Zhuo Zangfeng raised his voice.
"You young man is so ignorant! Our village invited a Maoshan warlock, and he said it himself. ”
Zhuo Zangfeng remembered that when he inquired about Meng Taixu in this village, the villagers shook their heads and didn't know, when it came to the Taoists on the mountain, everyone showed a look of disgust, it seems that the reason for this is here.
It was the first time he had seen Meng Taixu, and it had been in the old monster's narrative before. In his imagination, Meng Taixu should be a high-crowned cloud-cutting, a land immortal with a flying sword in the sky, and he can't be connected with such a dirty old Taoist priest in front of him no matter what.
can look at Meng Taixu again, the depths of his eyes are always so calm, so calm, like a lake that will never make waves, showing the tranquility and leisureliness in his heart.
This cultivation is in the realm, how many people are there in the world?
This Taoist also knows Duan Qianhua, and he also knows who he is, and the purpose of coming here, he must be Meng Taixu, and he is definitely not a demon.
Seeing what the villagers said, he just wondered why Meng Taixu didn't explain it to them.
Seeing what Maoshan warlocks the villagers had brought out, Zhuo Zangfeng was a little amused.
Dare to ask the cultivators in the world, who doesn't know Meng Taixu? I have never eaten pork and seen a pig run. I don't know Meng Taixu, I've always heard his name.
Zhuo Zangfeng quietly stuck out his tongue, and it was really indecent to compare a land immortal to a pig. Looking at Meng Taixu quietly, he was still indifferent, as if what was happening in front of him had not happened at all.
I don't know which Maoshan Taoist priest who is not long-eyed actually talked nonsense and deceived this Taoist ancestor?
Zhuo Zangfeng had to come out to stand up for Meng Taixu.
"Did any of you catch him committing murder?"
"No, I didn't. The murders were all in the middle of the night, and we went to bed early after a tired day, who can see them?"
"Can there be tooth marks under the neck of livestock?"
"Do you not know, the wound is very large, and you can only see that it is a tear. ”
"So......" Zhuo Zangfeng pondered, pacing back and forth on the ground as a Qing official to judge the case, "In this case, there are no witnesses, and the physical evidence is not complete, so it can't prove anything." ”
"No! You young man has sharp teeth and sharp mouth to excuse the demon! This is what the Maoshan Warlock we invited said, how can it be false?"
It's this Maoshan Taoist priest again, and the villagers seem to regard his name as a gold-lettered signboard, Zhuo Zangfeng suddenly wants to laugh.
"What's that Maoshan Taoist priest's name?"
"Wang Kegang. ”
"Where now?"
The farmer holding the hoe came to his senses at this time, there was no need to talk to an unrelated young man, they were here to drive away the Taoist priest, how could they talk to this young man in a fog.
His eyes widened, and he gasped: "Where is that nonsense, and then I will go down the mountain with you." ”
Zhuo Zangfeng pretended to be scared, waved his hand and said: "Uncle, don't be so fierce, since you are here to drive away the demon path, you must always distinguish between right and wrong." That Maoshan Taoist priest has such a high mana, why don't you invite him to go up the mountain? I'm just afraid that these Youfang Taoist priests will shake their lips and deceive everyone. ”
When the villagers heard this, they all nodded.
Someone said: "The pine-patterned ancient sword behind the king can automatically fly out, and a big tree can be split ten steps away." How can it be a liar?"
Zhuo Zangfeng listened to it and knew that this royal Dao chief was also a sword cultivator, and it seemed that he also had some strength. He was not in a hurry to talk, he only thought about how to get that Maoshan Taoist priest to the mountain, and then see Meng Taixu's methods. Scratching his head, he suddenly had an idea.
