Chapter 64: Clues
Under Fang Shuo's insistent request, the two of them walked on Yilan Mountain.
"Thank you so much, by the way, you haven't asked my brother's name yet?" Fang Shuo asked kindly.
"Huh? What do you want to inquire about, let me tell you, this kind of thing must not be said on the mountain. When you get to the mountain, you have to remember and don't ask too much. The man turned around and glared at Fang Shuo and said.
Fang Shuo laughed dryly, nodded and said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, yes, I remember it, junior brother." ”
He continued to walk up the mountain, but after a few steps, the man came up again and smiled mysteriously at him: "Okay, the rules of the mountain, you just have to remember it." But it's not like we're at the top of the mountain yet. Hehe, brother, you're a good person, you're very real, brother, I'm willing to make you a friend. ”
After coughing, the man lowered his voice and said to the other party: "Your brother and I are surnamed Zhao, Mingfan, the head of the family, the third in line." In Jingzhou, I have been mixed up for most of my life, but unfortunately I didn't catch anything. In the spring of the year before last, I just helped the stalks on the village to open up the wasteland, and I heard the news that there was a treasure in Yilan Mountain, so I came to try my luck. Hey, I didn't think about it, I didn't see the baby, I actually met the gods in the mountains, and since that day, I have joined the religion, and now I am also an old qualification. ”
Fang Shuo slowed down, and he was close to Zhao Fan with a match. This Zhao Fan didn't have any heart, and told Fang Shuo everything he knew, and he didn't fall behind at all.
"Yo, then to put it this way, Brother Zhao, you can be regarded as an immortal on the mountain now. Hey, let me tell you, brother, what spells have you learned in the mountains, are you powerful? Fang Shuo asked him with a wink.
That Zhao Fan put his arm on Fang Shuo's shoulder, raised his chin slightly, tilted his head and said, "It's not my brother, I'm showing off with you, I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I say it." You know, ordinary people practice kung fu to the extreme, and that is just the strength to carry the tripod. And now, with my brother's strength, the overlord of Chu will lift a tripod, and I will easily lift two. And that Taoist spell, what a powerful ghost, don't be afraid. ”
"Oh, that's amazing. Brother Zhao, how did you practice? Fang Shuo asked.
"Do you know that there is an old immortal named Star Picking Daoist?" Zhao Fan asked Fang Shuo mysteriously.
"Hey, Star Picker, I seem to have heard of this name." Fang Shuo thought for a moment and replied.
"Yes, brother, you have actually heard of the name of the old fairy." Zhao Fan was overjoyed when he heard this, squinting his eyes and saying, "The cultivation in the mountains does not know the outside, and the scrolls are like the sea sitting in the dry years." Ask for the misty to become a mysterious realm, and only the medicinal stone can make up for the innate nature. Listen, how remarkable this poem is written by his old man. bluntly told everyone in the world how to become an immortal. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Fan changed his words, opened his eyes, and scolded: "It's just hateful, those selfish ghosts on the Immortal Mountain want to monopolize this big secret." In order to prevent the secret of becoming an immortal from leaking out, he moved to an unknown mountain, and easily did not accept disciples, and the immortal scriptures were not passed on. Anyone who preaches the Dharma privately will not let it go, and there will be no forgiveness for killing. One day, we will kill them and send these shameless people into a hell that will never be turned over. ”
At this moment, Fang Shuo can be regarded as understanding. The Tianjiang Sect kept these people in the dark, instilled some fallacies and heresies in them, and cultivated them into people who were bent on revenge for the sake of so-called justice. No wonder, in Tokaiso, there are so many monks suddenly.
With such intentions, it is really insidious and vicious. With them, there will be endless evil.
Fang Shuo patted Zhao Fan's body and found that there was only a trace of aura in his body, and the meridians were blocked, the flow of qi and blood was strange, and his body was deficient, which was simply a loss of vitality.
"Brother, look, this is the medicine stone that the Star Picking Daoist said." Zhao Fan took out a large fisheye spar with a faint red light from his arms.
"This is ......," Fang Shuo looked at the hedron and wondered.
Zhao Fan pointed to the spar and said excitedly: "This is the secret of becoming an immortal." Brother, as long as you eat this, you can be the same as my brother. ”
If Fang Shuo was just a mortal, maybe he would really believe Zhao Fan's words. However, he has practiced since he was a child, and now that he has achieved a small success, how can he not recognize what this spar is?
Taoists do have alchemy, especially the Quanzhen Dao lineage, and this technique is their specialty. If the alchemy is successful, if you obey it, you will make great progress, and even soar in the daytime, and ascend to the sky in one step.
But the spar in Zhao Fan's hand was neither a baked elixir, nor an immortal grass and a five-element stone. Even a layman who doesn't know how to do alchemy can tell at a glance that he is holding waste slag.
The waste residue is the fragments that are swept out of the furnace after the alchemy fails. If you eat it, there is no need to go into details, and there is no benefit.
Similarly, the Star Picker did say that poem, but unfortunately, it was definitely not the one Zhao Fan said. Of the four lines of the poem he said, only three were right, and the last one was wrong. It's like Donghai Zhuangzhuang, Yu Lechen pretended to be a real person in Xuanshuang and read the four lines of poetry, all of which were only three sentences.
Seeing that Fang Shuo was fascinated by the waste residue on his palm, Zhao Fan took it back after holding it and reminded: "Okay, don't look at it, you will have it too." However, don't be too greedy, you can only eat one pill a day, and if you eat more, you may die. ”
"Brother Xie Zhao reminded." Fang Shuo sighed and said.
"Alas, by the way, I've been talking for a long time, and I'm talking alone. What about you, brother, what's your name? Where did it come from? Zhao Fan came back to his senses and asked about Fang Shuo.
"Brother, my surname is Fang, and my single name is a Shuo character, and I come from the north." Fang Shuo replied.
Zhao Fan looked at Fang Shuo from head to toe, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Brother Fang, looking at your dress, you don't look like a son and brother from an ordinary big family." How did you come to think of coming to Yilan Mountain to learn from a teacher? ”
"Gold and silver are like dung to me, and attaining immortality is my life's wish." Fang Shuo is colorful.
Who knows, Zhao Fan laughed when he heard this, he patted Fang Shuo's shoulder and said, "Oh, brother, it's not my brother who said you, and I'm still lying to my brother here." ”
Fang Shuo was stunned when he heard this, and asked him in disbelief: "What, could it be that Brother Zhao knows why I came?" ”
"Nonsense, it's not, you can still fool my brother. A son like you, don't want to have brocade clothes and jade food for a day, you have to apprentice to the teacher, I'm afraid, for the sake of the woman you love. Zhao Fan squeezed his eyebrows at Fang Shuo and joked with a smile.
Fang Shuo smiled dumbly, and said in his heart: "It's really a god, He Yan's kid is like this." ”
However, he Fang Shuo is not He Yan, he came to Yilan Mountain for other things.
Seeing Fang Shuo shaking his head, Zhao Fan smiled and said, "Okay, brother, I know, my brother's face is thin and he can't speak." It's okay, you don't have to admit it, brother, I just know it in my heart. ”
Although Zhao Fan misunderstood Fang Shuo's meaning, it was good to misunderstand it like this.
Fang Shuo simply shut his mouth and just lowered his head and followed Zhao Fan up the mountain.
As soon as they crossed the mountainside, they came to a large stockade surrounded by wooden walls. The wooden wall is two feet high, and at the main entrance, which looks like a stockade, is a long corridor suspended by more than a dozen rows of sharp logs.
"Stop, who's coming?" The man guarding the door asked.
"What the are you yelling about, I don't even know it." Zhao Fan pointed at the man and scolded.
"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Zhao. What's the matter, why don't you watch from the bottom of the mountain, what are you doing in the stockade? The man didn't give Zhao Fan the slightest good look, and said casually.
"What am I doing, hum, joke, I still need to tell you. I have something to tell me now, don't bother me. Zhao Fan roared at the man.
Pulling Fang Shuo's arm, Zhao Fan walked directly inside. However, the two people at the door held the spears in their hands and stopped Zhao Fan and Fang Shuo who were walking inside.
"Hey, I said, Wu Blind, you are hard-hearted, you can't get along with me, right? And you, Lao Zhou, why are you also coaxing with Wu Blind? Zhao Fan said with a glare.
"Zhao Fan, don't be embarrassed here, Lao Tzu never takes you seriously. Elder Sang said that someone will come to join the sect tomorrow, and he specially asked the two brothers to guard here, just to prevent a waste like you from making trouble. The man who was called Wu Blind said gloomily.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fang Shuo already understood what was going on in his heart.
He tugged at Zhao Fan's clothes, helped him and said, "Forget it, Brother Zhao, you go back first, I'll just wait here." ”
Fang Shuo's original intention was to let Zhao Fan go down the mountain, and he went directly into the village.
It's a pity, he didn't expect that after hearing this, where would Zhao Fan's face go?
"Blind Wu, let me tell you, this Brother Fang is the one who wants to come to join the sect. But now that you've stopped us outside the stockade, is this what Elder Sang told you to do? Let's do business and don't carry personal grievances. Zhao Fan warned him loudly.
"Hahaha, personal vendettas? What kind of thing are you, Zhao Fan, and you deserve to talk to me about grievances? To tell you the truth, even if he came to join the church, he would not want to enter this door tonight. Dare to teach me a lesson, weigh yourself well. Blind Wu looked at Zhao Fan with contempt.
"You, Wu Blind, I've put up with you for a long time." Zhao Fan was furious when he heard this.
He shouted, flew up with a kick, and kicked directly at the blind man.
Wu Blind looked at Zhao Fan, and after sneering, his upper body didn't move, he raised his right leg, kicked it in the direction that Zhao Fan was kicking from, and kicked it head-on.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", and after the two fought this time, Zhao Fan took a step back, but Wu Blind did not move at all.
"Again." Zhao Fan shouted with red eyes.
"I'm afraid you won't make it." Blind Wu said coldly.
The two were about to fight again, when a loud cheer suddenly came from the gate of the village.
"That's enough, you both stop me."
A middle-aged man dressed in black, with his hands behind his back, walked to this side.
When the blind man Wu saw this person, he immediately shrank his head and said with a smile: "Hey, Manager Yang, how can this little thing be worth asking about your old man." Don't bother with you, I'll send them both away in two or three clicks. ”
The Chief Manager Yang glanced at him, stepped forward, and asked Zhao Fan, "What's the matter with you, you want to break into the village?" ”
Zhao Fan lowered his head and said respectfully: "Manager Yang, I brought a little brother who was going to join the sect, but I didn't expect that he, Wu Fuxi, stopped us from entering, so it made a fuss." ”
"Oh."
After listening to Zhao Fan's words, Manager Yang looked at Fang Shuo. He took a look and found that Fang Shuo's dress was not owned by ordinary people, so he immediately turned around and scolded Wu Fuxi: "Blind your dog eyes, don't you see that this is here to join the sect?" Who gave you the audacity to keep people out? ”
Wu Fuxi was scolded by Manager Yang and froze in place, not knowing how to answer.
Turning around, Manager Yang instructed Zhao Fan: "Okay, you go back, do your part, don't worry about what you shouldn't do." ”
Zhao Fan bowed his head and responded: "Yes, the villain understands." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Fang Shuo and went down the mountain.
Fang Shuo saw all this in his eyes, he knew that whether it was Zhao Fan, Wu Fuxi, or Manager Yang, they were all mortals trapped by seven emotions and six desires. And the so-called mortal is a person who has a mortal heart full of obsession and demonic obstacles in his body. As soon as the heart is opened, the soul and reason of the human soul will be blinded by obsessions and demonic obstacles.
The Chief Manager Yang looked at Fang Shuo and said with a smile: "This little brother, please inside." ”
Fang Shuo temporarily let go of these thoughts in his heart and replied with a smile, "Okay." ”
