Although the Beibi Mountains are lush and green under the bright sunshine, the forests are luxuriant, and the mountains are splendid......

But there was not a single light in the stone room, not even any other color.

Only black!

This stone chamber is nowhere to be found, and no one else can be found except for a few people who have been here.

Zhang Lin knelt in the middle of the stone chamber, on an old black futon.

He couldn't see anything around him, but he seemed to be able to see it, muttering to him. No one but him knew what he had just said.

Behind him, the stone door opened, and the flaming torches released a glow that illuminated the stone chamber.

Dressed in black, he knelt in front of a broken wooden table with two columns of spirit cards that unfolded like the figure of eight.

Strangely, there was nothing else on the table, as if the owner of these spirit tablets did not need him to worship.

As he walked out of the stone chamber and closed the stone door, it was once again immersed in eternal darkness.

It was like a palace, the ground was a little damp, and the stone wall was hung with old bronze lamps at three paces, and as he and the man with the torch in front of him slowly moved forward, and the lamp stretched out, and the stone path alone was about two hundred steps.

Ahead was an open hall, still dim, lit by torches, bonfires, and oil lamps. Four men in the main hall, as if they had just finished talking, stood on the edge of a stone bench with drawings, brushes, and an account book on the stone table.

"What, Brother He, is this leaving?"

"I'm going with Brother Shi. The speaker was a young man, dressed in a neat black samurai shirt, with a goatee, an ordinary face, and a very vicissitudes of expression. If there is a person from the Ning family here, he will definitely be able to recognize this person as He Huashan of the He family.

"So anxious?" Zhang Lin asked a man in brocade next to him in a deep voice, "Brother Shi is also leaving?" Zhang still wants to stay with Brother Shi for a few more days, and this Beibi Mountain is only half ...... play."

The man in brocade said with a smile: "These days, Xu Ming has accompanied me to travel all over Beibi Mountain, and even the Laojun Temple has been carefully watched. Besides, my Lord is an anxious man, and it is time for me to bring back the good news these days. ”

Zhang Lin saw the thousand-year-old ghost king Xu Ming next to the man in brocade and quietly glanced at him, so he stopped persuading each other and asked Xu Ming to send the two.

When the three of them walked out of the main hall, Zhang Lin looked at the two Dharma protectors, among whom the person who came to the stone room to call him was a man in his forties, wearing a set of loose linen clothes, missing a left eye on his face, the entire eye socket was scarred and closed, and his facial features were delicate, and he used to be a handsome man. This person is called the one-eyed flower Lang Zeng Hui on the rivers and lakes, and he ranks second among the three protectors.

The other person was a few years older than him, with long gray hair, a burly figure, purple clothes, and a silver-white chain wrapped around his upper body.

At this moment, Yan Zongfu lowered his head to clean up the things on the table.

Zeng Hui explained to Zhang Lin: "Jingci is here, and in the hall above, he asked a few of us to go to Laojun Temple to see Lingtongzi, as if there was something urgent. ”

Zhang Lin asked: "How many of us? Do He Huashan and the surnamed Shi know?"

Yan Zongfu said: "You can guess how much." If we are in such a hurry to let them go, it must be someone from Shangqing, and I don't know if we have found something, so it stands to reason that we are careful enough......"

Zeng Hui said: "Don't mess with yourself. Lingtongzi, this stupid person, where can you see it?"

Zhang Lin stopped him and continued, "No matter what he wants, I'll just pick up his tail, go over, don't let Jing Ci and the others get impatient and make trouble." ”

In the Lingyun Hall of Laojun Temple, Lingtongzi was holding an account book, and when he was about to finish, Jing Ci arrived with the master of the Blood Jade Gate and the three Dharma protectors.

The doorman came to Lingtongzi, hugged his fists and bowed, and made a big salute. The one-eyed flower Lang Zeng Hui was at the end, closing the door for Jingci.

"Xu Ming, someone saw you and Wanhua Pen Dong Si together, but is there such a thing?"

"The little one did swim back to the mountain with Dong Si a while ago. ”

"I heard there's another one?"

"Another person?" Xu Ming didn't seem to understand.

Zeng Hui said: "If there is another person on the same road, it is under the bottom, Xu Ming returned to the foot of the mountain, and I will pick it up." ”

Speaking of which, Lingtongzi sat on an old rattan chair in the hall, with a chair and a futon on the side, but he did not mean to invite a few people to sit down.

Jing Ci stood behind him, his hands down and silent. Lingtongzi rolled up the account book in his hand, pointed at Zeng Hui and said, "You look like this, don't you think others can't see it?"

Zeng Hui said with a smile: "It is precisely because the next one-eyed is ugly that he deliberately dressed up in disguise, if ordinary people don't know it, it is really possible to misunderstand." ”

Lingtongzi sneered.

Zhang Lin said: "In the first half of the year, the subordinates are almost ready, and in another month, they will definitely be able to get together." ”

Yan Zongfu said behind Zhang Lin: "It's all villains who are ineffective, and the three restaurants under their control have recently been provoked by opponents and lost a month's harvest. ”

Lingtongzi said lightly: "Poor Dao has known you for more than ten years. Master Zhangmen, I remember that when I first came to Beibi Mountain, you and I were still teenagers, like-minded, and when it came to ambition and vision, we could not sleep for three days and three nights...... Now the situation is rare, and the poor road only hopes that you and I will live up to our youth, and don't waste the years. ”

Zhang Lin was full of emotion, and said with a sigh: "If there is no Taoist to take care of Zhouxuan, my blood jade gate will still be the miserable appearance that has been lingering for a long time, and everyone has been punished." How can it develop to this point? ”

Yan Zongfu said: "Thanks to the protection of Shangqing and the support of the Taoist, I am grateful!"

Lingtongzi knocked on the account book in his hand and said, "Today, I have a distinguished guest in Shangqing, and I want to find the ten thousand flowers pen Dong Si to settle the old accounts." You wait until you go back, and send him to my Laojun Temple tonight. ”

The thousand-year-old ghost king Xu Ming stood at the end, and said softly at this time: "Then Dong Si left the day before yesterday......

Lingtongzi smiled and handed the account book to Jing Ci behind him, Jing Ci held it in his hand and said, "I can't see that Wanhua pen Dong Si tonight, the four of you, just leave one." Whoever stays, you choose!"

Zhang Lin looked up at Lingtongzi, and when he saw him close his eyes, he said to Jingci: "Dare to ask who is coming?

Jing Ci said: "This is my Shangqing classmate, from Xiaoshen Mountain. ”

Zhang Lin said: "Since you are the same door, why do you need to do this? Give me some time, I will definitely bring Dong Si!"

Jing Ci said: "When this uncle came, he was wearing a Shangqing Taoist uniform, embroidered an auspicious cloud on his chest, and a sword was erected on the cloud. ”

Zhang Lin smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know which true disciple it is?"

Jing Ci glanced at the master, Lingtongzi seemed to be asleep, he thought for a while, and said, "You better hurry up and bring Dong Si over." My ancestor is also waiting!"

Xu Ming looked at the door and said that Zhang Lin didn't have to look back, he knew that he was looking at him, this Dharma protector and that Dong Si were old acquaintances, and they had a good relationship, but he didn't look back, he only bowed down slowly, and said, "I'll go to find that Dong Si later." ”

Zeng Hui put his arm on Xu Ming's shoulder, pressed it hard, and the two saluted together.

When they turned around to walk out, Lingtongzi opened his eyes and said: "It only takes half a year to worship neatly, no matter what you do! But there is only one point, you have to do bastard things, don't provoke Shangqing, provoke Shangqing, I can only treat you and others as evil demons, and get rid of them all!"

Zhang Lin and the others didn't seem to hear it, and walked out of the main hall directly.

Jing Ci asked, "Master, why are you so polite to them?"

"I want silver, if I don't have silver, what do I have?" Lingtongzi stood up, slowly stretched his waist, and suddenly became arrogant, "Taoist priests are not immortals, eat, drink, and Lazar, how can they succeed without money? The old heavenly master in the Qing Palace on Longhu Mountain gives silver every year, and he doesn't praise you with a smile and respect you? Tianxingzi He is a kendo genius who is rare in a hundred years, and he can let Uncle Guanyun violate the rules of the door and privately teach the Holy Sword Technique. What about me? What can I do to let me go up step by step in Shangqing, sit in the Shangqing Palace, sit on the seat of the Heavenly Master?"

He turned to look at Jing Ci and said fiercely: "I only have no means!"
