"Money?" Zhang Daoren licked his lips slightly, thinking that he remembered that the silver money was exchanged for the table, and he wanted to talk about it.

Xue Zhenjun thought that Zhang Daoren would come down soon, but he didn't want to, but Zhang Daoren shook his head abruptly: "What is the use of asking for money for an old monk?" ”

Xue Zhenjun blinked, sneered and said, "Daochang Zhang, you are living in a house, you have to rely on fishing to make your stomach, how can you become strong again?" If you really want to be strong and familiar with the scriptures, wouldn't it be better to go to the Taoist temple to place orders? ”

Zhang Daoren was speechless.

Xue Zhenjun saw that there was a door, and immediately persuaded him: "Besides, the matter entrusted by Xiaodao is not a big matter, but I went to the Sleepy Dragon Cave to get the food box left by Xiaodao and came back." Zhang Daochang is in good health, and it is only half an hour to go back and forth, if he takes back the food box, Xiaodao will immediately offer a penny of silver? ”

"A penny?" Zhang Daoren stroked his beard and said: "If you want to run for a penny of silver?" ”

Xue Zhenjun chuckled: "Too little? Leave. ”

"Hey, hey, fellow Daoist stays, how can you say that you have to leave halfway through your words?"

Xue Zhenjun stopped and said: "Xiaodao's family is poor, and there is not much money on him, if Daochang Zhang wants the lion to open his mouth, won't this business be done?" ”

Zhang Daoren sneered and said: "I have a fate with Taoist friends, and others don't say that a penny, even a tael of silver, please practice the poor way." Fellow Daoists, one penny is one penny...... Just take a food box? Settle the money on the spot? ”

Xue Zhenjun didn't say a word, and groped out a piece of loose silver taels from his arms, about a penny, and handed it directly to Zhang Daoren.

As soon as Zhang Xuan took the money, he immediately said: "I will go on a journey for Daoyou." Fellow Daoists wait a while, and go back when you go to the poor road. ”

With that, he turned around and flicked his sleeves, striding towards the trapped dragon cave.

Staring at Zhang Xuanyi's back, Xue Zhenjun was envious. The name and resume on the Dao are not accurate, and the face of Zhang Daoren can be seen, and he is at least fifty years old. At such an age, climbing a mountain is like walking on the ground, this body is really good.

It didn't take half an hour, but more than two moments, Zhang Daoren went and returned, and there was an extra food box in his hand.

The Taoist face was ugly, and when he got closer, he dropped the food box and said, "Daoist friends are not shallow to harm people!" This kind of money, Lao Dao didn't dare to take it again. Fellow Daoists should find someone else! ”

"Wait, why did Zhang Daochang say this?"

The Daoist gasped twice, and said angrily: "My Dao money is so easy to earn, but I don't want to fight for my life." The person trapped in the trapped dragon cave is a demon cultivator, thanks to the old Tao's quick response, if he doesn't retreat quickly, I'm afraid that he has already been contaminated with demonic energy, and life is better than death. ”

"Demon cultivator? What is Demon Cultivation? Xue Zhenjun wondered.

The Daoist glared and said, "You don't even know anything about demon cultivation?" ”

"Xiaodao is lonely and unheard, and I also ask Zhang Daochang to say a thing or two."

"That Demon Cultivator...... Bah! Do you know what you say? It's really unlucky, go quickly, don't disturb the old way! ”

Zhang Daoren coaxed Xue Zhenjun out of the way like flies, turned around and went to work in the forest, leaving Xue Zhenjun stunned with a food box.

He thought about it slightly, Zhang Daoren seemed to be really angry? What does Demon Cultivation mean? What about being contaminated with demonic energy?

secretly thought in his heart, he would chase after him at this time, but he was afraid that Zhang Daoren would still be angry. It's not as long as the coming day...... Besides, the old man will know it, so it is better to ask the old man.

It happened that he was hungry and remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, so Xue Zhenjun immediately returned with a food box. It was still difficult to descend the mountain, and when I returned to the ear room after delivering the food box, the food in the food box on the table was already cold.

Xue Zhenjun immediately went to visit again, and gave the fireworker a penny of silver to help him heat it up, and then he took a hasty bite.

In the blink of an eye, night fell, and Xue Zhenjun took the note and went to find the old capital. Knocking on the door and entering the room, after the salute, Xue Zhenjun sat down in a proper manner, and took out the notes he wanted to ask the old man to talk about the incomprehensible points.

The old man never tires of talking and carefully explains the contents. I don't know if it's absent-minded or what, but when the old man finishes speaking, there is still no vision.

Lao Dushu seemed to see that Xue Zhenjun had something on his mind, so he stopped and took a sip of tea, and said: "Zhenjun is in a trance today, but something happened?" ”

Xue Zhenjun's spirit perked up, and he immediately said: "The elders all said that today's disciple got an errand and went to the Sleepy Dragon Cave to deliver food boxes. ”

"Deliver food boxes to the Sleepy Dragon Cave?" Lao Dujiao immediately frowned and said, "Nonsense, you have such a body, how can you let you go to the food box?" ”

Xue Zhenjun smiled, didn't complain, and then said: "The old man said, this food box is nothing, but the people in the cave are quite hateful, and they don't let go of the food box, so that the disciple is helpless." ”

"Well, it's just a food box, give it up, and send someone to pick it up tomorrow."

"Yes, that's what the disciple thinks. Then the disciple went down the mountain and met a Taoist priest by chance. I was afraid that I would cause trouble if I lost the food box, so I paid the money and asked the person to retrieve it on my behalf. No, the Taoist took the food box, but when he came back, he scolded the disciple. said that the disciple harmed people a lot, and also said that the people in the cave were demonic cultivators, and if they were contaminated with demonic energy, they were afraid that life would be worse than death......"

Xue Zhenjun looked up at the old man and said, "Let's talk about it, what is this demon cultivation?" What does demonic energy mean? But the Taoist priest who put up an order is talking nonsense? ”

Lao Dujiao waved his hand: "That Dao person has some eyesight, he is not wrong, the person imprisoned in the trapped dragon cave is indeed a demon cultivator." ”

"Huh?"

Lao Dushu sighed and said: "Speaking of which, this person was originally a disciple of the seventh generation of the Zixiao Palace, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and his roots and bones are excellent. If it weren't for the mistake, even your master Yuan Deqiong would be far inferior to this person. ”

So powerful?

"Tell me, the man...... That senior, but the path of cultivation went wrong? ”

Lao Du said: "It is rumored in the Taoist sect that since the Han Dynasty, the Lingqi has become more and more mixed. It was in the ancient pre-Qin period, there were qi refiners who ate and drank dew, but after the Han Dynasty, they were dominant. After the Tang and Song dynasties, and now the way of the outer Dan is a dead end, and only the way of the inner Dan can be able to ascend. ”

And what is the case? But what does this have to do with demon cultivation?

I listened to Lao Du and continued: "In the early years of this dynasty, there were Taoists who comprehended the Dan Dao from the Dao Collection, and led the sun and moon to remove the impurities of Lingqi, and the cultivation of the Tao was twice the result with half the effort. At first, there was nothing wrong with it, but when he cultivated to the realm of refining Qi and transforming gods, suddenly an extraterritorial heavenly demon followed his god and descended to his body.

The temperament of the middle one has changed drastically, and he is bloodthirsty like a demon. And the cultivator is entangled with it, if he does not lock the qi machine, he will be infected by the demonic qi, and he will become his puppet for a long time. ”

How so? Is it so dangerous to cultivate a Tao? Then if you are in close contact with that demon cultivator, will you be contaminated with demonic energy?

"In today's world, the path of my generation is bumpy, and those who do not have good bones and great perseverance cannot ascend."

Seeing Xue Zhenjun's brows tightened, the old man said with relief: "But don't be impatient, that demonic qi will only infiltrate cultivators." Zhen Chunfu entered the Dao Gate, and has not built a foundation so far, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being. ”

I see, Xue Zhenjun let out a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Let's say, since the demon cultivator is so dangerous, why don't you cut the grass and eradicate the roots, how can you also imprison the demon cultivator in the trapped dragon cave?" ”

All preached: "It's not that we are imprisoned, but that Deyang was imprisoned before he became a demon." Deyang also said that if he fell into the devil, he would ask his master to kill him. But who can be ruthless? His teacher couldn't bear to do it, and he didn't allow others to do it, so that he could be imprisoned until now. It's been almost twenty-three years. ”

Lao Du sighed again, and Xue Zhenjun also sighed. The former is sorry for Deyang's enchantment, and the latter has his own thoughts.

Xue Zhenjun saw the master's wonderful Dao method, saw the vision of the gray snake, and saw Senior Brother Liu's swordsmanship without leaving a trace of fireworks, so he naturally changed his mind and saved the mind of cultivating and ascending.

Who doesn't want to live forever? Which one doesn't want to be in the immortal class? He used to only think it was fake, so he naturally disdained it. Now that I have found that I can really practice, how can I not have a different mind?

As a result, now he is a blow to the head, and the old man tells him one thing: cultivation is risky, and if you don't do it well, you will fall into the devil.

It's really, how not to be frustrating? Fortunately, Xue Zhenjun was open-minded by nature, and he was slightly depressed for a while, and then put it down. I secretly thought in my heart, the path of cultivation is so dangerous, then simply cultivate, not to achieve the Tao to ascend, but to cure the carbuncle on the body.

After settling down, Xue Zhenjun said: "It's the first time that the kid has heard of such a secret story, thank you for telling me." ”

Lao Du said: "This kind of secret should have been told by your master, but Deqiong's human nature is like a fire, and his temper is quite anxious. On the day you went up to the mountain to apprentice, your master hurried down the mountain to find medicine for you. ”

Xue Zhenjun had no choice but to say: "Master's kindness, the disciple has nothing to repay, just wait for the liver and brain to be ...... in the future."

"Well, if only you knew."

Xue Zhenjun paused, got up and poured tea for the old capital, and said, "All of you, I don't know how to think of the matter of the faction?" ”

Lao Dushu glanced at him: "You also want to participate in such chores?" ”

Xue Zhenjun smiled bitterly: "The old man talks about Mingjian, Bozu is the prison, and the kid is inexplicably involved in right and wrong. This chorus has caused others to even turn over the target, and the kid can't even participate if he wants to. ”

The old man laughed and said, "You are a true cultivator of the descendant temple, just keep your duty." As for what the old way thinks? Oh, I'm afraid this combination is just wishful thinking. ”

"Oh?"

Lao Du said: "There are one hundred and eight temples in Wudang Mountain, thirty or forty factions, and each has its own inheritance, that is, the emperor has made a holy decree, and it will not be in one place for decades." ”

"In addition, the personnel and temple property of the Shifang Hall are complicated, and the joint faction will definitely harm its interests, which one is willing to give up his own body and do the whole thing? Your Bozu is trying to forcibly bridge it, but it is just gathering sand into a tower, and when the wind blows, it will be scattered, and it is useless. ”

Xue Zhenjun heard it, and he was not optimistic about Bozu's proposal, but he didn't object to it, he just stayed out of it and didn't participate in it.

Thinking about it, the various sects on Wudang Mountain have their own inheritances, and it is really not something that can be bridged in a short time. It's just that I suffered myself, and I thought that with my uncle taking care of me, my life in Zixiao Palace would be better.

Not only did I not want to have a good time, but I provoked inexplicable hostility.

At this time, the old man said: "Don't worry, in the future, if the old Taoist speaks, Shifangtang will not go overboard." But ......" he glanced at Xue Zhenjun: "...... You are much healthier, and the errand of this food delivery box will be taken down, and the power will be sharpened. ”
