It was nearly noon, the sun was warm, and the eyes of the floating son were getting longer and longer, even if it was the road to the end of the world, he had to look at the end.

Sigh the time is like a shuttle, how much can life be?

Looking back on the past hundred years, the bronze mirror has two temples and grinding.

Look at Wang Sun's Huike and listen to Sha San's mocking songs.

I sent some dry and greedy goods, what did I get in the end?

You don't see the old friend in front of the window, and the new grave in the suburbs is old.

It's all a pillow of Nanke!

The singing voice came faintly, which shocked Piao Ranzi's spirit, since there are voices, there must be pedestrians coming, then, let him pass the word to General Chen, and he has the hope of being rescued.

He hurriedly looked around, but he couldn't see the tower hole, turned to the tower hole, and finally, outside the remnant wall of the temple in the south, he saw a middle-aged woodcutter, dressed in cloth clothes, carrying two loads of firewood, singing as he walked.

"Great!" Piao Ranzi was overjoyed, could he not be happy, this hope was pinned on the woodcutter.

"Hey, big brother, come here!" shouted at the tower.

The woodcutter was about to turn the corner, but when he heard the shouting, he stopped and looked this way.

"I'm in the tower!Big Cutter, come here!" Piaoranzi shouted again.

This time, the woodcutter heard. Carrying firewood, he walked over, stopped outside the tower, and saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy in the tower, and said with a smile: "It's still a young man who is greedy for fun, why did you run to the tower?"

"How did I run in by myself?" said Piaoranzi with a wry smile. "Brother Chop, hard work!"

"It's not hard, it's nothing. I'm used to collecting firewood!" said the woodcutter laughed. "It's the little brother's hard work, what's so fun in this tower?"

"Big brother, I'm not here to play. Piao Ranzi hurriedly defended.

"You look at such a beautiful scenery, it's not a trip, what are you doing here? You are young, and you have to quibble, which shows that it is too dishonest. I don't have time to grind my teeth with you, and I have to go home!" the woodcutter said, and he turned to leave.

"Big brother who chops wood, walk slowly, walk slowly!" said Piaoranzi hurriedly.

"I was playing, and I strayed into this four-elephant pagoda, and now I can't get out. Please also ask the eldest brother for a favor. Piaoranzi gave up his hand and had to lie.

"I said yes, if you don't play, how can you run to this wilderness to do what? This Nanshan Temple, a thousand years ago, was full of incense, and since a great war, it has been deserted. The woodcutter said. "We have heard from our ancestors that in this Four Elephant Pagoda, there is a goblin suppressed by Zhang Daoling, Heavenly Master Zhang, hey, could it be you?"

"No, no!" said Piaoranzi. The goblin fled. I just arrived this morning, please help my eldest brother!. ”

"Oh, I don't see it. The woodcutter said. "I heard that it's an old demon in his thirties, and it won't be your young brother. What do you want me to help with? Why don't you open this tower hole a little bigger and let you come out? That can't be done, this is Zhang Tianshi's use to suppress demons, how can it be destroyed casually. ”

"No, not really. Big brother, I ask you to help me spread a message, you go to Shucheng about ten miles south of the city, there is a military camp, meet General Chen, find a child named Ji Ling, tell them, I am trapped here now, please come and rescue me. Piaoranzi said.

"I say, young man, you're really good at entertaining people. The woodcutter laughed. "This Nanshan is a hundred miles away from Shucheng, you let me go over the mountains and mountains, and report to you there, I have to go back and forth for three or five days, how much business has been delayed, and the little brother is really good at laughing. ”

"Big brother, how can I entertain you, I am really trapped by demons, please move troops to Shucheng and come to save me. Piao Ranzi said again.

"Won't you find a way to get out?" said the woodcutter. "When you came in, what about the goblins?"

"When I came in, the goblins fled. ”

"If the goblins can escape, you can escape too. The woodcutter said.

"I want to get out, who wants to be imprisoned here?" said Piaoranzi. "However, the prohibition laid by Heavenly Master Zhang here was originally used to deal with goblins, and now it is for me to use. ”

"Haha, young man, don't make excuses, I'm not going. The woodcutter said.

"Big brother, as long as you spread the word, I won't treat you badly. I'll give you a hundred taels of silver, as a reward, how about it?"

"A few days ago, a group of bandits came out of this neighborhood, and it was easy to leave. When I arrived in Shucheng, I went all the way over the mountains and mountains, and when I met that group of strongmen, my life was gone, how could I spend your reward? The woodcutter shook his head.

"Big brother, that gang of bandits, the leader of the thieves is called Zhou Dahu, right? I fought with them and was tricked here by a demon. Now in the south of Shucheng, General Chen is fighting with them, and if we kill the bandits, you will also be indispensable. ”

"I'm a woodcutter, and I'm not greedy for merit. You're going to stay here, I'm going back to dinner. So the woodcutter said, took up the firewood, and went out.

"Brother Chopping Wood, don't you even distinguish between right and wrong?" Piao Ranzi was a little angry and tried his best to restrain himself.

"Hehe, I've lived half my life, but I've used you to teach me a lesson. The woodcutter put down two loads of firewood and asked, "How can I not distinguish between right and wrong?"

"I helped General Chen, went out of the city to kill thieves, and now I am trapped in the tower, I beg you to help spread a word, but you don't want to, can you let the bandits and demons run rampant and harm the people?" Piao Ranzi pointed at him with his hand and said.

"Boy, it's very hot. "The woodcutter is not angry. "I can't see that you have a heart for the country and the people. However, if you don't have the ability to escape, you can also escape, if you don't have the ability to escape, you can cultivate here, and you can get out sooner or later, it's not bad!"

"What are the words! I have a rough life, and if I want to cultivate here, wouldn't it delay my good years? I have been waiting for a thousand years in the Pure Land of the West. I escaped from the ancient cave so easily, I don't want to stay in Shucheng to be a city god again, and you still let me be trapped here to cultivate, I'm not reconciled!"

"What??, are you a city god in Shucheng?" the woodcutter said in surprise. "I heard that this is a matter of managing a city of Yin, you young man, don't talk about it. ”

"Believe it or not, I'm going home, and it's not what I really want to be. This Yin official position, affairs are tiresome, which is done by people. ”

"Yes, I heard that it should be a ghost official of the underworld, how did you become one?" the woodcutter became curious.

"It's not that no one is in charge, Murong Chenghuang is anxious to go to the heavenly court, and even coaxed me to act for a few days. ”

"It's not easy!" said the woodcutter laughed. "It seems that you really fought with the demon and were deceived by him to this place. ”

"Brother Chop, do I look like a liar? Please give me a message to help me get out of trouble as soon as possible. Piaoranzi said.

"When you go out, you're still going to be a city god?"

"Entrusted by others and loyal to others, I quickly gave this city god to others, and rushed back to my hometown in Shuicheng to visit my mother, and then went to find my best friend. Piaoranzi said.

"Is there any confidante left?

"yes! How do you know?"

"Hahaha, the hero is sad and no one closes. Is there nothing else?" asked the woodcutter again.

"What else?Oh, in the future, I will find my senior brother Zhang Tianshi, he asked me to worship under the Sanqing Sect, cultivate immortals, and rank in the immortal class. ”

"What a good thing!" exclaimed the woodcutter. "You should find Zhang Tianshi first, cultivating and becoming an immortal is the big thing. You see me, I collect firewood every day, and in this barren mountain, I also envy the immortals, but I don't meet it, I don't ask for it. You have this cause, why are you still obsessed? ”

"There are priorities, my relatives can't give up, how can I cultivate immortals?"

"Then stay in this tower! The woodcutter said.

"Why is that?"

"After you go out, you still have to be a city god, and you have to go back to your hometown to find your relatives, when will you learn from the teacher again? ”

"Brother Chop, you asked me to meditate and cultivate, where can I calm down?" Piao Ranzi was anxious again.

"You young man, I'll tell you a story about the past. The woodcutter sat on the stone in front of the tower and said: "There was a chong desert son in the former dynasty Fanchen, who had a very good foundation, and the emperor of Donghua ordered Lu Dongbin and Zhang Ziyang to go down to the mortal to transform him, and Lu Zu passed on his immortal life to help him get rid of the heart ape and horse, and Zhang Ziyang helped him break the wine-colored wealth and killed the three corpses and nine insects. Later, Lu Dongbin pretended to be a fisherman, Zhang Ziyang pretended to be a woodcutter, extradited Chong Mozi to cross 3,000 weak waters, and went to Daluo Heaven to fulfill the dream of immortality. Are you still obsessed, young man?"

"I haven't heard of it. Piaoranzi shook his head. "He's him, I'm me, I don't want to see my mother and Huiyun!"

"Well, since you still have a lot of mundane things to do, find a way to get out by yourself!" After the woodcutter finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and walked outside the temple without two loads of firewood.

"Brother Chopping Wood!!, you are so ruthless!" shouted angrily
