"Senior Brother Zhao, how could you have thought of constructing your own cave sky like this, it's really rare."

Chen Qisheng raised his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment, and his mouth was amazed.

Different from the Daodian Immortal Mountain and the sea of clouds that I was accustomed to seeing in other Huangliang Caves in the past, the grass and trees in front of Chen Qisheng's eyes at this moment are completely the appearance of the ancient city in the pre-Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, the sky is dark, the streets are crowded with lights, and the sound of hawkers and jugglers mingle together, interweaving a bustling scene.

Chen Qisheng turned sideways to let go of a child wearing a flower jacket with a double braid, laughing and scurrying in the crowd with his companions, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "These can't be?"

"Don't worry, although I am a new-school monk, I am also a serious Dragon and Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master, and I am not one of those crazy demon cultivators, how can I do something to pull the living into the cave?"

Yang Long, who was standing beside Li Jun, heard the surprise in Chen Qisheng's words and explained with a smile.

At this moment, he did not wear the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Taoist robe, but instead wore a plain black robe, with a green jade belt tied around his waist, with a full beard and a strong body, he had a bit of the taste of the former Ming warriors recorded in the history of the empire.

"Most of the people you see in this city are Huangliang ghosts that I specially bought, and some are new ghosts that they bred on their own. Today, roughly calculated, there should be about 20,000 heads. ”

"So much?"

Chen Qisheng's eyes widened, and he looked at Yang Long in astonishment.

Twenty thousand Huangliang ghosts, even if they are just some 'ordinary ghosts' without any special abilities, that is a terrifying enough number.

Not to mention how much treasure money it would cost to buy so many Huangliang ghosts, just maintaining their normal operation and survival was enough to squeeze out all the authority of Yang Long. Even his spirit has to bear a huge burden at all times, and the slightest carelessness will be 'ten thousand ghosts devouring the body' and fall into a schizophrenic end.

This Senior Brother Zhao shouldn't have secretly embezzled all the funds of the 'Formation' into his own cave?

"What are you thinking? If I dare to embezzle the funds of the sect, I don't need the Heavenly Master's Mansion to make a move, and my upright master will make me annihilated. ”

Yang Long saw through what Chen Qisheng was thinking at a glance, and said angrily: "These are all things that I have accumulated, don't steal or rob, clean and clean!" ”

"It's Senior Brother, you're too sensitive, I didn't think about it that way."

Chen Qisheng looked around at the world around him, and the shock in his heart not only did not subside, but became more and more intense.

The vendor selling late-night snacks has a smiling face wrapped in the steaming water of the boiling pot, and his outstretched arm is holding three mouthfuls of sea bowls, adding ingredients to them neatly, and the shouts in his mouth can be heard far and wide.

The old scholar who sells paintings at the table sits under a big red lantern, and then looks at a thread-bound book in his hand in the faint light, spits on his fingertips from time to time, turns a page slowly, and steals in the downtown area. The mountains, lakes, princes and generals are all contained in a four-foot-long painting scroll, which is hung on the shelves behind him.

A small troupe went out of the circle around the corner to create an open space, dancing guns and sticks, and the cold light was like a wheel wind. Seeing the thrilling place, the people around the crowd applauded again and again, and threw copper wires into the field from time to time. Chen Qisheng could see clearly that on those copper coins tumbling in the air, there were four small characters engraved 'Jiajing Tongbao'.

One by one, no matter how big or small, all of them are lifelike.

A thought suddenly popped up in his heart, if all the 20,000 Huangliang ghosts were released, then in front of the senior brother Zhao beside him, Zhang Qinglu, who was known as the 'first person under the earth immortal', was probably just a vulnerable clown who jumped over the beam.

Thinking of the cooperation reached by the two, Chen Qisheng finally understood at this moment that among the monks of the same generation, Yang Long was the one who really hid deeply.

"Senior brother's handwriting, I really admire junior brother."

Chen Qisheng stopped, looked at Xiangyang Long Zhengse and said, "But I still have a doubt, is it really necessary to do this?" ”

"Whether it's necessary or not, this kind of thing is different from person to person. In the eyes of the other brothers and sisters, they felt that experiencing the mythical world-shattering world, experiencing the war between the two religions, and even painstakingly changing the final outcome with their own efforts would make them realize the ultimate form of 'immortals' and make them more aware of their evolutionary direction. ”

Yang Long shook his head: "But I don't think so, in my opinion, half of the word 'immortal' is a person, a person who has climbed to the top of the mountain." Therefore, walking in the market to experience human nature can be more tempering the Taoist heart than boring in the Taoist hall to figure out the will of heaven. ”

"I have heard of both of these ideas, and I know that the merits of these two ideas have been debated among the monks of the new school. But no matter which is the correct answer, there are many related permanent caves built in Bai Yujing, senior brother, you can completely enter it to experience, why spend so much effort to build a market in your own cave? ”

"What someone else builds, it's always someone else's. Even if you go in, you are acting according to someone else's script, what you do, what you say, all the endings have been set in advance. Even if all the creatures in the entire dream were slaughtered, this kind of thing would have happened a long time ago I don't know how many times, what else is the meaning of such a dream? ”

Yang Long smiled: "But it's different here, I'm the master, whatever world I want, they will play whatever world I want." As long as I seal my memories, everything I see is real, not like other dreams, everything is just a string of false thoughts. With such a cave, why should I borrow the Huangliang Dream Realm in Bai Yujing to reincarnate again? ”

After saying this, Yang Long pulled Chen Qisheng, who was still pondering, and the two walked out of the downtown area, turned into a relatively clean alley, and walked into a theater building in the courtyard.

Yang Long casually threw out two pieces of broken silver, and Xiao Er, who was waiting by the door, showed a courteous smile and turned his head to shout towards the door.

"Two distinguished guests, someone is here to entertain you."

The door of the house was already overcrowded, and dozens of stools were filled with more than 100 customers, turning heads and ears, boiling over.

It was obviously not the first time Yang Long had come to this kind of place, so he took Chen Qisheng straight through the crowd and sat in the front row of the stage.

At this moment, there was an old Confucian with a white beard sitting on the stage, and when he saw that the position under the stage was almost full, he put down the tea bowl in his hand and grabbed the eye-catching shot on the table in front of him.

Syllable.

The noise stopped abruptly, and a pair of expectant eyes were thrown onto the stage.

The old Confucian smiled with satisfaction when he saw this, and then he slowly spoke in a tone of voice.

"The three emperors and five emperors of morality, the fame of the Xia Hou Shang Zhou. Heroes and heroes are looking for deer, and gods and demons are haunting the world. There are several lines of names and surnames in the history, and there are countless barren hills in the north. As the world often says, people do not quit the road, tigers do not quit the mountain, people live for a lifetime, and what they fight for is a chivalrous spirit of happiness and revenge, and elimination of violence and peace! ”

"But what the old man wants to say today is not the long distance of the rivers and lakes, nor the deep green forests and mountains, but the fairy who is free on the back of the green ox! Let's talk about how the Jiangxi Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master subdued demons and eliminated demons and defended the world! ”

Syllable!

Chen Qisheng retracted his gaze without interest, and he didn't need to think about it to know that this was Yanglong's arrangement, and the two True Heavenly Masters came to listen to the ancients talk about fake Heavenly Masters, which was really a bit of a bad taste.

"Senior Brother Zhao."

Chen Qisheng did not call Yanglong's Dao name, but called him by his common name.

"You specifically called me in this time, didn't it just so that I could come to pay homage to your Huangliang Dongtian?"

"It was the Heavenly Master's Mansion who asked me to come."

Yang Long looked at the old Confucian on the stage with his eyes, and said lightly.

Chen Qisheng's face sank suddenly when he heard this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, there are no outsiders here except for our two senior brothers."

Yang Long sensed the chill around him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Senior Brother Chen, no matter what, you are also a person from Longhu Mountain, so you don't need to be so hostile to your own sect, right?" ”

"The Heavenly Master's Mansion is not Dragon and Tiger Mountain."

Chen Qisheng snorted coldly, and remembered in his mind that when he was in Osaka City, the earth immortal who borrowed Zhang Qinglu's corpse to descend. spoke again, and there was no longer the previous kindness in his tone: "Zhang Qingsheng asked you to come, right?" Now that Gao Tianyuan is gone, and Bai Yujing's trial is also invalid, what are you looking for me to do now? ”

"In the eyes of you and me, the position of a recompensating earth immortal is an opportunity worth fighting for. But for the Zhang family, it's nothing. ”

Yang Long was noncommittal, and just said: "But Zhang Qinglu's death is not a trivial matter for the Zhang family. ”

"So you're thinking about crossing the river and tearing down the bridge now?" Chen Qisheng sneered.

"If I had that thought, I wouldn't be sitting here today. Zhang Qinglu's death, you and I have a share, how can I expose you? I still understand the truth of cold lips and teeth. ”

Yang Long's words made the anger surging in Chen Qisheng's heart subside a little.

Indeed, Zhang Qinglu's death is inseparable from Yanglong. Even Yang Long was still the one who took the initiative to propose, if he betrayed himself, then his fate would not be much better.

"After we returned to Dragon Tiger Mountain this time, everyone was reviewed by the Heavenly Master Mansion, including the 'Doubu' where you are."

Yang Long's voice was not low, but whether it was the gentleman who was telling the story on the stage or the listeners who were still around, they were all unconscious.

"In the beginning, the review went smoothly and the other eight ministries were not punished. But when it was Doubu's turn, there was a sudden accident. ”

Click

The seat under him was broken and broken, and Chen Qichang stood upright, with a murderous aura in his eyebrows.

Yang Long was unaware, and still said calmly: "In the process of review, they found out that the chief official of the Dou Department, Uncle Xuan Dou, was suspected of embezzling departmental funds, secretly colluding with the outer sect monks, and reselling the old school monk methods and pills of Longhu Mountain."

"This is a frame-up!"

Chen Qisheng was furious: "Could it be that the high-level leaders in the sect just sit and watch them act recklessly and frame them at will?" ”

"The highest immortal in the sect is surnamed Zhang, and the earth immortal Zhang Qingsheng who led the team to review is also surnamed Zhang."

Yang Long's expression was dark, and he said softly: "Now that the conclusion of the Heavenly Master's Mansion has come down, I have seen that decree, which has the signature of Uncle Xuandou on it, and now his old man has been detained in the Heavenly Master's Mansion." ”

"Master. He obviously hasn't done any of these things, why should he admit it? ”

Chen Qisheng's face was as pale as paper, and the green tendons on his clenched fists were distinct.

"Zhang Qingsheng asked me to come this time to let me tell my junior brother that the Zhang family counted Zhang Qinglu's death on the Jinyiwei of Inuyama City."

Yang Long's voice paused, "What does he mean, you should understand." ”

What do you mean?

Isn't it just to threaten himself with the life and death of his master, and want to use his identity as a guest to betray Li Jun?

Chen Qisheng's clenched teeth clicked, and Yanglong's faint voice sounded in his ears.

"The guilt they set for Uncle Xuandou is between the two. The amount of misappropriation depends on the amount of funds. To resell the Dharma pills, it is also necessary to look at the level of the sect and the grade of the pills. If all of them are qualitatively at the lowest level, then even if Uncle Xuandou can't keep his identity as the head of the Dou Department in the end, he will at most think about it for a while in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, at least his life will be safe. ”

"But if you, junior brother."

Yang Long sighed and cut off his words.

The atmosphere between the two was as heavy as stagnant water, but there was a sudden exclamation around them,

Seeing this, the old Confucian on the stage became more and more energetic, and grabbed the eye-catching and shot again.

"It is said that when the teacher entered Jianchang City one day, he only saw a piece of fire trees and silver flowers, and the city was full of fish and dragons. But how can these splendid flowers hide from those two Daomen Heavenly Eyes? I saw the Heavenly Master pinching his fingers and slashing between his eyebrows, like a mouth god looking at the world, and the charm and spirit appeared! ”

"The vendor's pot is not filled with food, but with a soft human head. Upstairs, it's not a prostitute, it's a blood-sucking tree spirit. The old ghost led the young ghost, and the bamboo stick in his hand was wearing human eyes. The evil man carried the fierce god and sprinkled paper and hung flags to marry the bride. Tyre! This is clearly a demon and a ghost, where is the prosperous world?! ”

"The sword in the hand of the Heavenly Master is unsheathed, the talisman in his sleeve is lit, and he is like an immortal on the ground single-handedly, vowing to cleanse the demons all over the city and kill a clear world!"

The impassioned words ignited everyone in the audience, and bursts of cheers surged from all sides, surrounding the silent Chen Qisheng in the middle.

"Senior brother, go back and tell Zhang Qingsheng that my master Xuandou has never done anything wrong, and I, Chen Qisheng, will not do anything wrong!"

Chen Qisheng exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, as if making a decision, and there was no longer half a hesitation on his face.

"If he wants to recover the losses for the Zhang family, I can make the decision to give up the position of the head of the Dou Department and the Earth Immortal."

Chen Qisheng looked at Yang Long with fixed eyes, and his tone was as cold as the wind of the wax moon: "But if something goes wrong with my master's safety, I, Chen Qisheng, swear not to be a dragon and tiger immortal again, but to be a lady-eating lady!" ”

Chen Qisheng ate word by word: "Eat the demon of their Zhang family!" ”

"Senior brother."

Yang Long seemed to have expected this result, and suddenly sighed: "Don't forget, the Zhang family is not a person who is eaten, but an immortal who slays demons!" ”

At this moment, the storytelling on the stage has reached its climax.

I saw that the gentleman who told the story looked excited, and saliva flew in his mouth: "The heavenly master fights demons, and the sword blade hits the fangs." I saw the heads of people in Jianchang City rising and falling, the corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river. But no matter how the Heavenly Master killed, the demon group was not missing at all, and it was still like a rolling vicious wave, extinguishing the talisman fire and breaking the fairy sword! ”

Inside the door of the house, the men, women and children listening to the book in the audience were writhing and looking at Chen Qisheng at this moment, and there were tears in their empty eyes!

At this moment, the storyteller on the stage was shocked and changed to a sad tone.

"Pity the Heavenly Master who eliminated the demon and guarded the way, but in the end he was beheaded by the demon, divided the corpse, ate the five internal organs, and chewed the flesh and bones. Woohoo lament, this world is still rampant with demons, how can you tolerate half of the righteous path in the world, and the heavenly master will die"

"Zhang Qingsheng !!"

Chen Qisheng's expression at this moment is almost difficult to describe with the words ferocious and angry, the whites of his eyes are gradually increasing, his hair is scattered, and his pupils are constricted, looking like madness.

People do not quit the road, and tigers do not quit the mountain.

But now people have no way back, and it is difficult for tigers to find mountains and forests!

"Zhang's family. Ay.. ”

Yang Long muttered to himself, and his figure immediately disappeared into this Huangliang Cave Heaven.
