Chapter 13: Xu Baozheng is missing
"Xu Baozheng is missing?"
For a few days, the fat girl finished delivering food to Zhang Zhuo, and she was all worried, until Zhang Zhuo stopped her for some questioning, and then learned of such an unexpected thing.
It turned out that after Xu Baozheng saw Zhang Zhuo that day, he went up to Longhu Mountain and went to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to find the Wang Steward of the Alchemy Hall, wanting to give Zhang Zhuo a chance to enter the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
Steward Wang agreed to Xu Baozheng, but found that the person he recommended had not arrived for a long time, so he personally went down to Longhu Mountain to find Xu Baozheng for inquiry, only to find that Xu Baozheng had long since disappeared.
"Have you ever asked who Xu Baozheng saw before he disappeared?"
Xu Baozheng has lived well in Longhu Village for so many years, why did he disappear inexplicably not long after he first came to Longhu Village, Zhang Zhuo was worried that this matter was related to him.
Perhaps because he was afraid that the fat girl would not be able to speak, Huzi took over the conversation and said: "At that time, I saw that my eldest brother was still in retreat, and I felt that this matter was strange, so I made my own opinion......"
Huzi's expression was a little unnatural, and he cautiously glanced at Zhang Zhuo before continuing: "I see that the king's steward cultivation is not high, and he only has the sixth level of qi refining, so he used the soul possession technique on him...... After some investigation, I found out that what he said was not false, but he didn't tell me that a miscellaneous disciple had seen Xu Baozheng and Ye Daochang together......"
"Nonsense!" Zhang Zhuo never expected that this tiger would be so tiger, even the steward of the Heavenly Master's Mansion dared to make a move.
"Do you know that in the eyes of a real master, cultivation does not represent everything, even if his cultivation is not as good as yours, there are many means to deal with you, not to mention the Heavenly Master's Mansion that has been inherited for thousands of years!"
Zhang Zhuo was a little depressed, this tiger hadn't been seen for a few days, why did he become so fat?
Huzi smiled at Zhang Zhuo innocently, and said stupidly: "Although I can't see the cultivation of the eldest brother, I feel that I am most likely not the opponent of the eldest brother, but the Wang steward is different, it is really commonplace." But the eldest brother is right, I will definitely not act so rashly in the future. ”
"Oh? Can't you see my cultivation? Zhang Zhuoqi said.
Huzi didn't know why Zhang Zhuo asked this, he was slightly stunned, and thought for a while:
"Exactly, every time I want to investigate my eldest brother's cultivation, there is always a feeling that it is not real, in my eyes, my eldest brother is like a mortal without cultivation. Fortunately, I have seen the eldest brother make a move, and I can roughly judge the cultivation realm of the eldest brother. ”
"I see!" Zhang Zhuo's heart moved slightly, he thought that Ye Yunjiao had no one in his eyes, and it seemed that he was to blame. Could it be because I'm a person who has crossed over, as long as I don't take the initiative, it will be difficult for others to see through my cultivation realm?
Either way, it's a great thing to put to good use.
However, he didn't plan to let go of this Ye Yunjiao, Xu Baozheng's disappearance was mostly related to this person, and he wanted to meet this person in person for a while to see what he wanted to do.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Zhuo finally spoke.
"Brother Huzi, fat girl, I'm leaving."
"Big brother, do you want to go to the Heavenly Master's Mansion? Looking for Xu Baozheng? In Huzi's heart, Zhang Zhuo is such a chivalrous person. It is reasonable that he was able to risk his life to save himself, a person he didn't know, and now he is running around in order to find Xu Baozheng.
But the fat girl didn't follow, and when she heard that Zhang Zhuo was leaving, her eyes turned red all of a sudden: "Big brother, don't go...... If I had known, I wouldn't have told you about it......"
You must know that during Zhang Zhuo's retreat, the brother and sister brought him food every day, which made him a little embarrassed, as if he left the Xuanshui Order to Huzi for this appetite......
Especially the fat girl, Yang Huzi helped her find all kinds of delicious food in this Luxi River, and then cooked and sent it in person. Zhang Zhuo even suspected that now the water tribe of the Luxi River, I am afraid that when I see this brother and sister from afar, I will be scared and flee.
"Actually, my visit to the Heavenly Master's Mansion this time is not all for Xu Baozheng's affairs, there are still some important things to do, and when I finish everything, I will definitely come back to see you."
In fact, Zhang Zhuo didn't want to stay here for a few more days. He traveled more than 900 years to the Northern Song Dynasty, and formed such a deep friendship with this simple brother and sister, and got many opportunities in the Luxi River Water Mansion. It can be said that he has even thought more than once that it is better to wander between the mountains and rivers like this in the future and cultivate a great freedom.
But he still has his own mission, the expectations of his ancestors, the burden of the Heavenly Master, and the longing for his hometown, which are entangled in his heart......
"Come, fat girl, come here, big brother will give you a gift."
The fat girl, who was still sad just now, was suddenly attracted by the thing in Zhang Zhuo's hand, and she couldn't take her eyes off it anymore.
Such a gorgeous and gorgeous pearl bracelet, the pearls that are as bright as the stars, are like nature, glowing with purple light, and the fat girl is almost stunned.
"This is a talisman made by the eldest brother himself, which is not only beautiful, but also can strengthen the body and prolong life! Put it on! ”
Huzi saw that the fat girl was so surprised that she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, so she tugged at her pigtails and said, "Thank you brother soon." ”
He knew that this bracelet was not simple at first glance, just to draw talismans on these pearls one by one and make them into talismans, it would be extremely difficult to do, not to mention that this talisman had such a powerful effect, and he didn't know how much effort it would take.
Presumably, the eldest brother considered that the difference between the longevity of me and the fat girl after I became the river god was too great, so he gave such a precious gift, and it seems that the kindness that our brother and sister owe to the eldest brother will never be able to pay it back.
"Thank you, big brother, the fat girl must wear it every day, waiting for the big brother to come back."
On the bank of the Luxi River, the fat girl held the bracelet in her heart, and reluctantly said goodbye to Zhang Zhuo with Huzi, her big eyes were full of tears......
"Before I knew it, I came here again......"
Bidding farewell to the Huzi brothers and sisters, Zhang Zhuo was always a little absent-minded along the way. So, the road up the mountain, which he was not familiar with, is now turning around, and he almost got lost.
It wasn't until he walked to the door of this dilapidated house that he felt a sense of déjà vu.
At this time, the warm sunlight shines through the layers of towering ancient trees, leaving some dappled light and shadow on the dilapidated house, which looks quite quiet and elegant. Where is the horror and eerie of the night he crossed and hit the coffin here.
Now that he is here, Zhang Zhuo still plans to go in and have a look.
"Squeak-" A screeching sound came from the dilapidated wooden door.
This is......
There was one more coffin in the broken house!
The two coffins were placed side by side, and the coffins were tightly covered.
Zhang Zhuo's pupils shrank sharply, and a turbulent wave was set off in his heart.
"It's the corpses of Huzi and Shen Er......" Zhang Zhuo muttered, "I saved Huzi by chance, but I didn't expect Huzi's corpse to lie here in the end......"
Maybe it's because of my crossing, the two people in front of me, the tiger who was already dead, was not only rescued by me, but also merged into the river god by chance, and Shen Er, who was not dead in the first place, died here at this time, which greatly changed history.
And in the process of saving Huzi, I involved Xu Baozheng again, and now it has caused his disappearance.
Then, if I go to rescue Xu Baozheng now, I will inevitably involve Shang Ye Yunjiao and even Zhang Dunfu.
Next, no matter what I say or do, it may affect Zhang Dunfu's judgment and ultimately his next behavior.
And Zhang Dunfu is the head of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, any misjudgment may make a huge change in history, and let the entire Heavenly Master line go into the abyss of no return!
And I, once I lose my knowledge of known history, I am bound to change from a bystander to an insider.
So with a mere Qi refining monk like me, what can I change?
Now, I finally know that according to the normal historical trend, the Zhang family has been passed down to the sixty-third generation, at least for the time being, there is no danger of extinction.
If you take the liberty of getting involved without finding out the truth, not to mention that you can't kill the evil demons, your own life, and even the fate of the entire Heavenly Master, may be involved......
"Whew...... No wonder Master Zu repeatedly reminded me that I must not change history at will...... It seems that this trip to the Heavenly Master's Mansion still has to be considered in the long run. ”
Originally, I planned to visit Zhang Dunfu directly and consult with him in person about the elimination of demons, but now it seems that it is absolutely impossible. Since Xu Baozheng has already helped me open the joints of the Alchemy Hall, then I will find a way to enter the Alchemy Hall first, and then make plans......
An hour later, a rustic man with a scarf on his head, a dark complexion, and a long figure appeared at the gate of the Heavenly Master's Mansion Alchemy Hall.
The nervous expression, and the hands that had nowhere to put it, were enough to see that this person had never seen much of the world.
In the disdainful eyes of everyone in the Medicine Refining Hall, the rustic man blushed and was a little shy: "In Xia Azhuo, come...... Ask for an ...... to see the king's steward."
