Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Golden Mountain
The mountain man smiled slightly, thrust the axe into the ground, pillowed it on one arm, recalled it, and explained to Zhang Feiyang in detail: "Oh. Recently......"
It turned out that just over a month ago, I don't know who knew that a large number of Jinyang grass was produced here, and a large number of people came to pick it.
These people are dressed similarly to Zhang Feiyang, all dressed in Taoist robes, and the person at the head of them is a man named Jin Shan.
At that time, the Jinshan gang made a special inquiry to the mountain people and gave him some gold and silver.
Then, the Jinyang grass on the entire mountain was collected by Jinshan and his gang.
Zhang Feiyang suddenly realized, but he didn't know how the Jinshan gang was cultivating for the time being, so he continued to try to ask two questions: "Uncle." So what do you know about those people?"
"What's the method? Do you mean how quickly they collect medicine?"
"That is to say, are they as light as swallows, and can tread water, step on the cliff wall and go straight to the top of the mountain?"
"No, I don't. The people you're talking about are all immortal cultivators, right? They don't have that ability, they just collect medicine honestly like us mortals. ”
Hearing such an answer from the mountain people, Zhang Feiyang had an accurate judgment of Jinshan's group in his heart.
It seems that that Jin Shan and his accomplices are probably only in the early stage of the Qi refining period.
Because, if there is a late stage of Qi refining, it is impossible to easily shuttle between the mountains without using it, and choose the same method as mortals to collect medicine.
Thinking of this, and then recalling the purpose of Tan Meng's dream to ask him to collect the golden yang grass, and the effect of this golden yang grass that can actually improve the monk's aura, Zhang Feiyang understood when he ascended to the throne that most of the people named Jin Shan, after cultivating to the early stage of the qi refining period, he was no longer able to break through to the more advanced late stage, so he thought of forcibly breaking through the bottleneck and reaching the late stage through the method of alchemy.
This method is like the method used by Tan Meng to Sister Qiao.
Now that the goal has changed from Jinyang Grass to finding Jinshan, the next thing is the location.
Zhang Feiyang sent a new question to Uncle Shanmin.
"Uncle. Do you know where Jinshan and his gang live, or are they from out of town?"
When Zhang Feiyang asked, Sister Qiao nodded and smiled, and told the specific location of Jinshan's gang, which made Zhang Fei raise his eyebrows and smile.
"Of course I do. Jinshan: They are not foreign. I used to live in the south not far from Xiangyang Mountain, and it was a similar mountain. That mountain is called Xiangyin Mountain, and the appearance of the mountain is the same as Xiangyang Mountain, but I only think that the direction of the front of the mountain peak is the opposite of Xiangyang Mountain. ”
Zhang Feiyang thanked him gratefully, chatted with him for a few more words, and left, the aura was guided out, turned into a passport, and with a bang, like a gust of wind, disappeared in front of the mountain people.
It was only at this time that the mountain man came back to his senses, stunned, and it was still difficult to detail that he was actually chatting with an immortal cultivator just now.
When he came home that day, he excitedly told his wife and children about it, and he also showed a smug look, which made his family and nearby villagers envious.
Although Xiangyin Mountain and Xiangyang Mountain are only different in name, the appearance of the two peaks is similar, they are both facing the same human face, but they are also two faces, and their expressions are completely different.
The face of the peak of Xiangyang Mountain is positive, looking up at the sky, looking upright, but the face of the peak of Xiangyin Mountain is bowing his head, looking at the ground, and he looks like a groveling servant, which makes Zhang Feiyang feel very uncomfortable when he only looks at it.
At the same time, the region of the two peaks is also very different, although the same name, Xiangyang Mountain is a vast area, a big mind that swallows mountains and rivers, Xiangyin Mountain is a small mountain and short, even the water is thin, a small belly and chicken intestines villain weather.
However, for Zhang Feiyang, this has corresponding benefits.
The smaller the place, the easier it is to find people.
Because, in fact, the whole mountain is not a few miles, so it will save a lot of time and effort to find it naturally.
Really.
Zhang Feiyang went from entering the mountain, to launching a carpet search for Xiangyin Mountain, and finally successfully finding the cave where Jinshan's gang was, adding up to no more than one meal.
At this time, in a cave seven or eight feet away in front of Zhang Feiyang, the lights were bright, laughter was continuous, and all kinds of clinking glasses and excited shouts were endless, as if they were celebrating something.
"Congratulations, boss. Congratulations to Boss. With so much Golden Yang Grass, you will definitely be able to break through the bottleneck and become a late-stage Qi Refining Stage cultivator. ”
"yes. Oh, yes. I heard that the cultivators in the late stage of the Qi refining period are quite powerful. You can hike rock walls, tread water, and be as light as a swallow, and even seem to be invulnerable. It's amazing to think about. ”
Zhang Feiyang touched it.
There is no winding path in the cave, after entering, it is a straight road of more than ten steps, and at the end is a hall of more than ten zhang, and a large table is placed in the center of the hall.
At this time, the table was full of people, almost a dozen people, raising their glasses.
These people are all well-dressed, five big and three thick, whether they are men or women, they look like typical bandits.
Seeing that they all looked hideous and terrifying when they laughed, and the murderous intent in their eyes was exposed, Zhang Feiyang knew that these people were probably doing bad things in normal times.
It is estimated that they will let go of the mountain people, and it is really the luck of the mountain people.
Of the group, one of the men with blonde hair was the most obvious, he was an ordinary-looking man who was the shortest of them all.
But obviously, from the way all the big men around him looked at him, they knew that they were looking at this horse.
Is Jin Shan the man with blonde hair?
Zhang Feiyang walked into the hall from the straight road curiously, looked at the blonde man like a knife, and asked straight to the point: "This, but Brother Jinshan?"
He came so fast and quietly that everyone in the hall didn't even notice it, and when Zhang Feiyang appeared, everyone was taken aback, stopped drinking, turned around with a stiff smile, and looked at Zhang Feiyang.
The blonde man was naturally the same, but, compared to the surprise of others, he had a calm reaction, as if Zhang Feiyang was not a person in his eyes, but an ant that had no effect on him, could be trampled to death at any time, and did not need to be taken care of at all.
Seeing Zhang Feiyang's gaze, he naturally couldn't react, just gave a fat man next to him a look, and continued to laugh and drink with the rest of the people, restoring the abruptly stopped lively atmosphere.
And the fat man had a sideways face, rubbing his hands at Zhang Feiyang excitedly, just in front of Zhang Feiyang, he didn't say anything, and suddenly pulled out a long knife from his back, which was a powerful knife, and it was about to deeply slash Zhang Feiyang, the intruder.
But Zhang Feiyang was already a monk in the late stage of the Qi refining period, and in the face of a mortal's sword, he naturally didn't even bother to pay attention to it, but just guided the aura out, turned it into a shield, protected his whole body, and walked steadily to the center of the hall.
"Dang" sounded.
This knife went down and landed firmly on the top of Zhang Feiyang's head, Zhang Feiyang had no effect, but the knife seemed to be cut on the iron plate, and with a click, it was broken in front of everyone.
Seeing this scene, all the thieves who were still drinking and shouting and laughing in the hall were dumbfounded, just like the fat man who slashed Zhang Feiyang with a knife, his face turned pale with fright, and he immediately understood that Zhang Feiyang was a great monk in the late stage of the Qi refining period, how could he dare to have a trace of resistance, he didn't even want the weapons around him and their boss, he scattered and fled, and in the blink of an eye, he slipped away from Zhang Feiyang.
Even if Jin Shan tried his best to stop it, hoping to leave a few people behind and fight with Zhang Feiyang, it was useless.
Seeing his subordinates fleeing one by one, his already pale face became more and more pale, and in the end, seeing that the last henchman was also ruthlessly abandoning him, his heart sank, how could he dare to resist Zhang Feiyang, slammed on the spot, half knelt down, folded his hands, and cried and kowtowed to Zhang Feiyang and begged for mercy.
"Grandpa spares his life. Grandpa spared his life. I was wrong. I wasn't right just now. Please grandpa don't kill me. I would like to be my grandfather's slave for the rest of my life. ”
Zhang Feiyang really couldn't believe that he despised himself so much just now, and he didn't bother to look at his arrogant posture with a straight eye, and thought that when he faced himself alone, he could be a bloody monk, and after a long time, he was so greedy for life and afraid of death, and he slapped his beard and horse, which was too different from his handsome appearance.
Thinking of this, Zhang Feiyang shook his head, how could he be willing to accept such a slave, naturally a hundred were unwilling, even staying with him more, he also felt that he was wasting his life, so he naturally got straight to the point and said his intention, hoping to stay away from this person as soon as possible and never see him again.
"I heard you picked a lot of golden sungrass, didn't you?"
When Jin Shan heard that Zhang Feiyang was originally coming for Jinyang Cao, he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled on his frightened face, swayed like a pug, ran back to the square table in the center of the hall, and took a bulging cloth bag to Zhang Feiyang, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, it's all here." I definitely didn't hide anything. If you don't believe me, you can count them. ”
Zhang Feiyang opened the cloth bag, checked it, and saw that it was indeed a pile of golden sungrass inside, nodded, turned around and left, without saying a word.
For Jin Shan, he didn't bother to look at the other party again.
Unexpectedly, when I first arrived outside the cave, there was a sudden sound of brushing in the distance, the leaves swaying, and the breeze gusting.
Then, more than a dozen figures rushed out of the forest more than a dozen feet away with lightning speed, moving quickly and with tacit understanding, they surrounded him in an instant.
The cultivation of these people is not high, only in the early stage of the Qi refining period, and they don't have any magic weapons in their hands, and they are all holding all kinds of weapons that only mortals can use.
It seems that he has just stepped into the path of cultivating immortals, and he has not been cultivating immortals for a long time.
At this moment, Jin Shan's flattering face, which had been behind Zhang Feiyang, suddenly sank, and a fierce light shot out of his eyes, giving these monks who were surrounding Zhang Feiyang a look, he immediately took the lead, carrying a four-foot big knife, slashed behind Zhang Feiyang, and shouted loudly: "What's so great about the late stage of the Qi Refining Period? Lao Tzu Jinshan doesn't believe it, with so many of us early stage Qi Refining Stage monks, we can't kill him! Brothers, if we kill this kid, we will be developed!"
