Chapter 55: Ma Shan

"Fellow Daoist, in this way, Tuxing Sun has changed his court. ”

Shen Gong Leopard rode a black-spotted tiger, walking side by side with Deng Jiugong, and the mountain wind and fog drifted under the feet of the two people, so comfortable. Deng Jiu said fairly: "Yes, after Tuxingsun was captured, the identity of the three generations of disciples of the Exposition Sect surfaced, and it was logical to take refuge in Xiqi. ”

Shen Gongbao sighed: "I knew that he was unreliable, and Shen would not have recommended him to work under Daoyou." ”

Deng Jiugong didn't care, and said with a smile: "The people who should leave can't be kept, and Daoist Shen doesn't have to take it to heart!"

Under Yu Yuan's persuasion, Shen Gongbao already had the intention of accepting apprentices, so he readily agreed, and this time he went to the Chengtang camp with Deng Jiugong to see his apprentice Deng Chanyu, whom he had never met.

Hearing Yu Yuan say that this internal disciple has very good qualifications, Shen Gongbao wants to check it in person, after all, hearing is false, and seeing is believing.

Shen Gongbao said: "Daoyou is worthy of being a character that even Yu Daoyou admires, and your open-mindedness makes me sigh to myself." ”

Western religion talks about letting go in order to be able to see the nature of the mind, while Taoism advocates quiet and inaction, going with the flow, and advocating the spirit of water, so that it can be invincible.

Deng Jiu said fairly: "Daoist Shen has won the award." ”

Shen Gongbao glanced at him, smiled, patted the black dotted tiger, and sped up, and Deng Jiugong followed closely. But in terms of mounts, the Jade Qilin and the Black Spot Tiger have their own merits, but Shen Gong Leopard is high and has a good flying technique, which is several times stronger than Deng Jiugong.

The two of them walked and stopped, and unconsciously walked to a high mountain, towering, rugged and cutting walls, the top of the mountain abruptly penetrated the blue sky, and the deep and blue fall under the ravine, which was very steep. As the saying goes, there must be demons in the mountains, and Lingjun must be strange, Deng Jiugong feels that this mountain is unusual, revealing a danger.

Fortunately, he is not a scholar who is powerless, he is a late stage of cultivation, full of magic weapons, and there is a master Shen Gongbao on the side, the two of them have walked up a few times, and I believe that no blind guy dares to make up his mind.

"This mountain has a demonic aura. ”

Shen Gongbao touched his beard and said lightly.

Deng Jiu said fairly: "Deng also feels this way, Dao Chief, the left and right are not bad at this time, let's go up the mountain to find out." ”

Shen Gongbao nodded, the two pressed the cloud head, got off their mounts, and walked towards the deep mountains and old forests on foot, and there was silence all around. In this mountain forest, I don't know how long no one walks, overgrown with weeds, surrounded by towering trees, blocking the sun tightly, revealing the atmosphere of isolation.

At this moment, I only heard a gong sound in the forest, and a person with a face like blue indigo, hair like cinnabar, riding a red sand horse, gold armor and red robe, three eyes, and two maces, ran towards the two of them, and shouted in his mouth: "Who is coming, dare to come to visit me in front of the mountain?"

Deng Jiugong glanced at him, and felt that this scene was a little familiar, by the way, I remembered, isn't this the Bailong Mountain that Yin Jiao went down the mountain to Xiqi and passed by on the way. With a joy in his heart, he replied: "I am Deng Jiugong, the commander of the Western Expedition, what kind of strongman are you, dare to stand in our way." ”

The man was taken aback and hurriedly saluted: "It turned out that Marshal Deng was here, and he was disappointed in the future, and he hoped to forgive his sins." ”

In the past few months, Deng Jiugong's reputation has spread all over the world, and he is gentle and self-assured of his status as a hero, so he doesn't know Deng Jiugong's name. To be honest, for Wen Liang, he respects the person who has the ability the most, and Deng Jiugong is.

Deng Jiu said fairly: "Who are you and why are you entrenched here." ”

Wen Liang said: "I am gentle, and I have gathered a group of minions under my command and settled down here." As he spoke, he looked at Shen Gongbao, and only felt that this person was like a hidden immortal, so he hurriedly invited the two: "The two of you have come from afar, and you have worked hard all the way, so it is better to go to the place to have a cup of tea and sit down for a while." I have a brother named Ma Shan, and he admires Marshal Deng very much, and he asks the marshal to move to the cottage!"

"Wen Haohan warmly invited, and Daoist Shen and I had no reason to shirk it, and we were bothered to lead the way. ”

For these two buddies, Deng Jiugong has long had the intention of subduing, but first, he is busy with affairs, and secondly, he doesn't know the specific address of Bailong Mountain, so he has not implemented it. Now that God has given me a good opportunity, if I don't accept it, wouldn't I be sorry for God's arrangement.

Deng Chanyu worshipped the teacher, she definitely won't stay in the barracks for a long time, as soon as she left, her strength decreased, Wen Liang and Ma Shan were substitutes, although the strength of these two people was not very good, but they were better than ordinary people.

And Ma Shannai is the heart of the lamp, the flames of the knife and gun can't hurt him, if he can give full play to his advantages, it will help him a lot. In fact, Ma Shan's fighting skills are average, and there is really no record in the original book, and it is indeed a big failure for Yin Jiao to send him to the front.

Chickens, dogs, cows and horses, each performing his own duties, Ma Shan's ability is to use fire, if he becomes his subordinate, he will definitely make the best use of his talents, rather than civilian officials going into battle to kill the enemy, and military generals will rule the country.

Under the leadership of Wen Liang, the two came to a cottage, and a little minion had already reported to Ma Shan. Ma Shan personally went out to greet him, Wen Liang introduced the identities of both parties, Ma Shan saluted Deng Jiugong, and said: "Marshal Deng's name is like thunder, and when I see it today, I have the posture of a dragon and a phoenix." ”

Deng Jiugong said with a smile: "Ma Tou has received the award, Deng is just a layman, and the Taoist next to me is really a master in the world, and his magical powers are vast." ”

Ma Shan has been cultivating with the Burning Lamp Daoist in Eagle Mountain for many years, and he has heard of almost all the immortals who explain the teachings, and some have seen one or two faces, this Shen Gongbao is unfortunate that he is among the people he has seen.

Seeing an acquaintance, Ma Shan panicked and stepped forward and said, "Ma Shan has seen the Taoist. ”

Shen Gongbao glanced at him a few times and nodded.

Ma Shan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Shen Gongbao didn't recognize him, he didn't want to go back to Eagle Mountain, he stayed in the cave for 365 days a year to cultivate, and he was happy to be the leader of this cottage, and he could also drink and talk to Wen Liang every day.

Deng Jiugong looked at Wen Liang and Ma Shan, and said: "I think that the two of you have extraordinary skills, and you can build a cottage in a poor and remote place, which shows that you are people with lofty ideals. Why don't you go to Xiqi with me to make meritorious contributions, and in the coming days, you will be added to the official and become a knight, so as to live up to what you have learned. ”

When the two heard this, they looked at each other and said in unison: "What the marshal said is very true, and the two of us are willing to do the work of dogs and horses." The two of them originally intended to go out of the mountain to earn some achievements, but no one introduced them, and at this moment, Deng Jiugong personally spoke, and they were overjoyed in their hearts, so they naturally agreed.

Deng Jiugong was overjoyed and said: "In this case, the two of you should count the number of people, salute somewhat, and follow me down the mountain." It seems that this is the benefit of fame, I just said it casually, and the two immediately joined him, which feels like the legendary domineering side leak.

The two nodded, gathered the minions together, and said softly: "Brothers, the leader and I plan to serve in the army, and if you are willing to go down the mountain with us to earn a future, you will salute well, and pack up your things and go down the mountain without unforgiving labor." There are many rich wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains, and without our two leaders, it is not safe for you to live in the cottage, so you don't go down the mountain to find a job. ”

As soon as the words were finished, everyone went to pay some salutes, Wen Liang has been running the cottage for many years, and it is very popular, only one or two hundred people are unwilling to go to Xiqi, and the other two thousand people are willing to follow.

Wen Liang invited Deng Jiugong and the two into the cottage to sit down, make tea himself, and put fruit snacks on the table.

In less than an hour, everyone made a good salute, and Wen Liang took one last look at the cottage, and burned it clean. Since he decided to go down the mountain, then he did not plan to come back, even if he died, he would die on the battlefield.
