Chapter 33: The Return
Huang Shuo has been quite leisurely recently, either shopping here and there all day long, or making appointments with three or five "best friends" to talk about the world, tasting tea and admiring the moon, and occasionally going to the back mountain to catch a few pheasants and hares, and fight tooth sacrifices.
It's just that the mountain is bitter after all, and it didn't take long for the entire Xuanyuan Lower Sect to ask him to go shopping, and he had to go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to chat with Jiang Shangzhen when he was bored. After going back and forth, the two became quite familiar with each other, and the things they talked about gradually changed from anecdotes to cultivating the Dao.
On this day, the little fat man didn't know which "friend" he got a small jar of wine from, and walked to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion with great interest.
"Senior Brother Jiang, look what good things I've brought!" As soon as the words fell, Huang Shuo's slightly chubby body appeared on the second floor of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, holding a green jade vial in his right hand.
Jiang Shangzhen smiled slightly when he saw the comer, put down the scroll in his hand and said, "Senior brother is idle again today?"
Huang Shuo walked to Jiang Shangzhen and sat down, skillfully took out two white jade wine glasses, poured the wine to the brim, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen my senior brother for a few days, and I miss it very much, so I prepared a little wine and came to visit." ”
Jiang Shangzhen shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You can't spend more of your mind on cultivation, and the rest of the senior brothers ......"
"Today I only talk about Fengyue, not about cultivation, senior brother, try it!" Jiang Shangzhen was interrupted by Huang Shuo before he could say a few words, and the latter had already picked up his wine glass and looked at him with a smile.
Jiang Shangzhen sighed helplessly, pinched the trick slightly, and a transparent light flashed away, and then picked up the wine glass, smelled it slightly, and drank it all. The entrance is soft, and there is a faint fragrance of bamboo leaves, and then there is a fire in the abdomen, and the fire is exhausted and heated, and the warmth is melting.
"Good wine!" Jiang Shangzhen couldn't help but exclaim.
Huang Shuo saw that he was drinking happily, and he also killed it in one gulp, and after filling it up for the two of them, he flipped his palm, and actually took out half of the test hare, and said with a smile: "How can there be wine without meat, Senior Brother Jiang, do it!"
Jiang Shangzhen smiled slightly, and was about to pick up the wine glass, when suddenly the brilliance flashed, and two figures appeared out of thin air, but they were Xu Jingtian and a thin old man in sackcloth.
Xu Jingtian frowned, and was about to admonish him, but the old man raised his hand to grab it first, only to see the green jade vial fly to his hand with a "whoosh", and the aroma of wine overflowed. The old man grinned, immediately took a big sip, smacked his lips after drinking, dropped a "not bad" and returned the bottle.
Jiang Shangzhen and Huang Shuo saw Xu Jingtian hurriedly get up, bowed and saluted, "Senior Brother Xu." ”
Xu Jingtian frowned and waved his hand, with a soft "bang", a transparent light mask disappeared in response, and then a rich aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of barbecue instantly diffused. He turned to the side slightly, pointed at the old man, and said in a deep voice, "This is Elder Lei. ”
The two immediately understood, turned around and said respectfully: "I've seen Lei Changlao." ”
The old man first looked at Jiang Shangzhen, and then looked Huang Shuo up and down carefully. Suddenly, there was a flash of thunder, and everyone in the pavilion disappeared without a trace in an instant.
In a deep valley somewhere in the back mountain, thunder flashed, and the four old men showed their figures. Before Jiang Shangzhen could stand firmly, he was taken aside by Xu Jingtian, leaving the little fat man at a loss and the old man standing facing each other.
The old man didn't say a word, raised his hand and released a light blue slender thunder light, which hit Huang Shuo in a blink of an eye. Huang Shuo was startled, and before he could react, the thunder light had already entered his body, and then the thunder roared, and purple slender thunder emerged from his body, intertwined with electricity and light, beating non-stop, and disappeared in an instant.
The old man smiled and nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Would you like to worship me as a teacher?"
Huang Shuo was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Seeing that he did not answer immediately, the old man's heart moved, and light blue thunder drilled out of his body like small snakes, entangled with each other, and turned into a thunder suit with scorching lightning in the blink of an eye.
Huang Shuo was dumbfounded, and the old man smiled slightly and asked, "Do you want to learn?"
The little fat man instantly became clever, fell to his knees with a thud, and shouted in his mouth: "I wish to worship the elder as a teacher, and from now on I will saddle the horse and serve with all my heart!"
The old man laughed and said, "Get up." Then there was a flash of brilliance, and a scorched black wooden sword appeared in his hand and threw it directly to Huang Shuo.
"This broken sword is a greeting gift. The old man said casually.
Huang Shuo took the wooden sword, bowed down without looking at it and said, "Thank you, Master!"
The old man waved his hand, motioned for him to stand at his side, glanced at Jiang Shangzhen, and then said to Xu Jingtian in a deep voice: "It seems that this 'Gu raising' method is quite interesting. It's time here, the master and nephew should also return to the sect as soon as possible, this doll old man took it away. ”
When Xu Jingtian and Jiang Shangzhen heard this, they immediately bowed down and said, "Congratulations to the uncle." ”
The old man's mind moved slightly, and the thunder flashed under his feet, rolling up Huang Shuo and turning into a blue thunderbolt that broke through the air, and the thunder was rolling, endless like wisps.
Jiang Shangzhen looked at the sky with a complicated expression. Suddenly, a vicissitudes of life and a powerful voice came from my ears: "The five elements are combined and yin and yang are born, and yin and yang change are thunderous, so that you can do it yourself......"
Xu Jingtian turned his head and was about to take Jiang Shangzhen back to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, when he saw his expression, his heart moved, and he did not disturb. After a while, Jiang Shangzhen came to his senses and bowed to the sky. Xu Jingtian realized something, didn't say anything, waved his hand, and the blue light flashed, and a green rainbow wrapped the two of them, and disappeared into the sky in a blink of an eye.
In the big cave in the belly of the mountain, Su Ming and others beckoned Yuan Qing and Zhu Ling'er to the high platform.
When the two of them arrived, they saw a pile of spirit stones on the platform, there were more than 100 pieces, including several medium-grade spirit stones, more than a dozen talismans of various colors, three small bottles, I don't know what was inside, two spirit boats less than a foot, two dark tokens, a jet-black narrow blade, a small blue shield with a small hole the thickness of a thumb, a jet-black iron shield, an ebony short stick, a peach branch and a pitch-black poison needle.
Su Ming glanced at everyone, and then said, "These two identity tokens will be handed over to the sect by Su." ”
Seeing that no one objected, he paused slightly and continued: "Su said before that the material magic weapon should not be taken at all. The black blade is the secret magic weapon of the Su family, and Su is willing to exchange it for something of equal value, and the spirit stone can also be used, I hope you will fulfill it. ”
"Well, let's divide this pile of things first. Wang Qing said with a little impatience after hearing this.
Zhao Yimu said loudly when he heard this: "I don't know what Senior Brother Wang has?"
Wang Qing glanced at him and said loudly: "Naturally, it is divided equally according to value." There are eight pieces of magic weapons here, including three of the best magic weapons, one of the top grades, and four of the middle grades......;
Yuan Qing stood quietly on the side, without saying a word, and a different feeling rose in his heart, as if the people in front of him were not monks who served the spirit and ate qi and flew to the sky, but market traders who were flying all day long, and even more barbaric, and the bandits and rogues who killed people and set fires and sat on the ground to share the spoils.
Zhu Ling'er seemed to see what Yuan Qing was thinking, her lips opened slightly, and a soft voice sounded in her ears: "Cultivation is not easy, those who need it are very much, at this moment, it is inevitable that you will lose your heart for a while." ”
Yuan Qing turned his head and smiled at Zhu Ling'er, signaling that he understood, but after turning his mind, he said firmly in his heart: "Even if there are thousands of weapons, my own sword is enough!"
As soon as this thought came out, the sword shadow of Zhihai shone brightly, and the sword embryo shook violently, just like last time, as if it was about to fade off a layer of shell. Yuan Qing hurriedly collected his mind and smoothed his sword qi, and it took a long time to temporarily suppress this impulse.
After about a stick of incense, everyone finished "sharing the spoils". Wang Qing took two storage bags and handed them to Yuan Qing and Zhu Ling'er respectively, and then said, "Brother Yuan must look down on me in my heart." ”
Yuan Qing was stunned for a moment, but he didn't deny it, and said, "This kind of behavior is not the same as Yuan imagined. ”
Wang Qing smiled slightly and said: "At first, like you, a certain family felt that this move was too disrespectful, but as the cultivation deepened, I realized that the ownerless thing, instead of letting it rot, it is better to use it for me and help me practice, which is no different from you picking up a stone on the side of the road." It is the thing of the Lord, if it is needed by my Dao, then what does it matter if it is necessary to kill people and seize treasures?
After hearing this, Yuan Qing pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Isn't that no different from robbers and thieves?
"Hahaha, there is no good or evil in this world, but it is just something made up by the people in high positions to restrain the hearts of the people! We monks are not bound by the law, so we are naturally respected by the strong! Besides, how can you be sure that what we do must be evil, and perhaps to others, this is a great good. ”
Yuan Qing still wanted to distinguish it, but he heard Han Xin say softly: "The difference between good and evil has not been concluded from ancient times to the present, and the two junior brothers will have time to argue again in the future, so at this moment, we should go back to Hanjiabao first." ”
Wang Qing laughed and said: "It's a certain family that is too talkative, don't blame you." ”
Su Ming glanced at everyone and said lightly, "Let's go, go back to Hanjiabao first." After saying that, he released the magic weapon and went out of the cave first. The rest of the people did not say more, and followed one after another.
An hour later, the group returned to Hanjiabao, and after repairing for a while, they came to the council hall. Han Xin sat on the main seat, and Han Hongrui sat on his left hand. With a clapping of hands, seven blue-robed teenagers rushed in, holding a tray in their hands with a fist-sized spirit stone on it.
"Thank you for your help, Han Mou has a sense of guilt, but the clan is weak, so he can only take out five hundred spirit stones to express his heart, and I hope you don't dislike it. ”
Everyone took the spirit stone and put it in their pockets. Su Ming then asked: "There are still two demons at large, and their strength is not bad, I don't know what the head of the family plans to do?"
Han Xin smiled and said: "Qilin bloodline, presumably you will report this to the sect, there will be a lot of people vying to take over this matter, and there will be no need for Han to worry about it at that time." ”
"The head of the house has seen it thoroughly. But it was Zhao Yimu who said lightly.
Su Ming pondered for a moment when he heard this, then got up and said, "In this case, I won't bother anymore, and I will leave and return to the sect." ”
The rest of them all got up. Seeing this, Han Xin immediately swallowed back the words he wanted to say, looked straight, and said, "You guys go all the way, there will be a period in the future!"
The group walked out of the meeting hall and was about to use the imperial weapon, but saw Han Hongrui also follow.
"Is Senior Sister Han going back to the sect with us?" Wang Qinghan asked.
"In the meantime, I naturally have to go back to the sect to do penance. Han Hongrui said lightly, but her eyes glanced at Yuan Qing from time to time.
Seeing this, Wang Qing immediately understood, laughed, released the magic weapon, and broke through the air. The rest of the people did not hesitate anymore, and followed one after another.
A day later, the group returned to the sect, handed over the task, and received the merit. Under Wang Qing's vigorous advocacy, everyone unanimously agreed to give Li Tianren's deserved merits to Yuan Qing.
Yuan Qing did not shirk and accepted it calmly. With this thousand merits, I don't have to worry about the task for a while, and I have gained a lot from this trip, so I just took the opportunity to retreat and retreat.
After exchanging spiritual power with Ling'er and Wang Qing, Yuan Qing returned to Miaomiao Lake, plunged into Qingyuanju, and slept peacefully all night.
Early the next morning, he went to the secret room and took out three storage bags from his bosom. The brilliance flashed, and he looked at the objects on the ground and fell into deep thought.
Flat peak, Su Garden.
Su Tianqi drank tea and listened to the report of his subordinates, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking. At the same time, the news of the unicorn cub quietly spread in the sect and in the major families, and for a while, the undercurrent was surging, and the news was flying.
In the depths of the mountain forest, by the rock spring, a three-zhang green wolf and a pure white beast were resting, and suddenly the blue light flashed, and a cyan figure appeared in front of the little beast, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Little princess, please follow me back to the palace." ”
