Chapter 36: Exploring the Mountains First
On the same day, the county order chartered a large inn and arranged all the cultivators from Jiangning in the inn.
After discussing during the day, in the evening, Daoist Zhining of the Quanzhen Sect and Master Jueyuan of Fahua Temple each went to the edge of the county with a group of people to patrol the county, while Lai Lao Dao stayed in the inn with the rest of the cultivators.
"Lai, how did you discuss it during the day?" In a spacious guest room, Mao Laodao asked.
"Now the mountain village near Wushan on the edge of the county is probably full of zombies, so we discussed it and decided that Zhining and Jueyuan would take people to stay in the county seat for the time being. Tomorrow, you, I, and the monks of Ninggu Temple will go to the area around Osan to inquire first. ”
"Oh~ It seems that this can only be the case, and now I don't know how many innocent people near this county town have died tragically and become zombies. ”
"Master, are you going into the mountains tomorrow? Hearing the conversation between the two old men, Li Ge, who was sitting quietly on the side, interjected.
"Master, Immortal Senior, I'm going too, so take me with you tomorrow. When Mao 18 heard Li Ge's words, he also opened his mouth and shouted.
"Eighteen, you will stay with Xuanying tomorrow, and I will take you there when I and your master go to investigate. As for Ge'er, just follow us to have a look. Lai Laodao and Mao Laodao glanced at each other, saw the latter nodded, and then said, "Okay, it's decided, let's rest early today." ”
"Immortal senior, but I ......" Mao Shibai was about to say something, but was interrupted by his master's words.
"Little rabbit, if you don't make a move for three days, you're going to go to the house to uncover the tiles, right? As soon as Mao Laodao's words came out, Mao Eighteen nodded aggrievedly, and then walked straight to the bedside.
"Yes, Lao Mao, your apprentice is much more obedient than my apprentice. Lai Laodao laughed, raised his hand sharply, flicked a finger on the apprentice's head, and shouted, "You stupid thing, don't go to sleep quickly." ”
"It hurts~ Master, can you stop playing my head. Li Ge rubbed his head and glared at the master, and then walked towards the bedside as well.
"Hey~ Lai Laogou, you are really ruthless, you can do it to your precious apprentice, but I have never done anything to Eighteen. Mao Laodao smiled and walked to a bunk in the house.
"You old thing knows how to use a hammer, this is called shooting when it's time to shoot, and if you don't obey, you have to educate yourself. Lai Lao Dao said something to the old god, and then blew out the candle wax in the room and walked towards a floor not far from Mao Lao Road.
The next day, as soon as the sky broke, the two pairs of masters and apprentices in the room got up.
"Ge'er, today we go into the mountain, I don't know what we will encounter, you put the Qiankun bag on your back. Lai Laodao rubbed his eyes, stretched his waist and yawned.
"Yes, Master. Li Ge took out his blue Qiankun bag from his baggage, opened it and looked at it a few times, and then put it on his side.
"Knock~Knock~Knock~" A few knocks sounded on the door, and then Lin Xuanying's voice came from outside the house, "Changsheng, Brother Yuanshan, are you up?"
"Xuanying, Yurou girl, you got up so early, why don't you sleep more?" Lai Laodao opened the door and welcomed the two people outside the house into the house.
"You want to take Ge'er with you?" After Lin Xuanying entered the house, she saw Li Ge carrying the Qiankun bag at her side, and asked suspiciously.
"This stinky boy is not too young, it is time to take him to see the world, otherwise he will always be a little kid. Lai Laodao glanced at the apprentice in a gray coarse cloth robe, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Then you have to be careful, there may not be little zombies during the day, if you run into Mao Roar, you don't want to be a tough enemy, you know?" Lin Xuan's anger was full of concern, and then he took out a vial and handed it to Lai Changsheng and said, "This is a medicine that can suppress corpse poison." ”
"Oh, Sister Xuanying, you only care about this old dog, it seems that my righteous brother has no weight in your heart. Mao Laodao pretended to be sad and sighed.
"Brother Yuanshan, what you are saying is there, I care about you and Changsheng. It's a pity that the Qingxu monk didn't come this time, if he came, I would be more relieved. ”
"That old bald man can only recite scriptures, and it's useless to come. Mao Laodao smiled and looked at the apprentice standing on the side and beckoned. When the apprentice approached, Mao Laodao lovingly stroked his head and said, "Eighteen, you are too young, if you really run into Mao Roar, you don't have the slightest ability to resist, so today you will stay in the inn with Xuanying Sister and Yurou Girl, you know?"
"I know, Master, you and the Immortal Seniors and Brother Ge must be careful. Mao Eighteen nodded obediently.
"Lao Mao, Ge'er, let's go, those monks from Ninggu Temple should be waiting for us downstairs. Lai Changsheng carried the yellow Qiankun bag on the table at his side, and immediately went downstairs.
"Amitabha! Lai Dao Chang, Mao Dao Chang, the poor monks and all the teachers and brothers are ready. When Lai Changsheng and his entourage went downstairs, an old monk with white eyebrows sitting in the hall on the first floor with a thin figure and an old face got up and gave a salute.
"Master Chang Deng, I've kept you waiting, but the two of us have explained some things, so it's too late. Lai Laodao walked down the stairs quickly, raised his hand and saluted back, and said apologetically.
"Mao Dao Chang is polite. Monk Chang Deng said politely, and there were four old monks sitting at the table behind him, all of whom were already old or sixtieth birthdays, and they also got up one after another, bowed to Lai Lao Dao and his party, and recited a Buddha name in his mouth.
"Ge'er, Eighteen, Yurou girl, come and meet the mages. Lai Changsheng explained to the juniors behind him, and then pointed to the four old monks behind the old monk Chang Deng and introduced, "This is Master Chang Ming, this is Master Chang Jing, this is Master Chang De, and this is Master Chang Hui." ”
After a few juniors saluted and greeted the four old monks, Li Ge looked up at the five old mages in front of him. Chang Deng looked about 80 years old, Chang Ming, Chang Jing and Chang De were about 70 years old, and the youngest Master Chang Hui looked to be in his 60s.
"Chief Mao, without further ado, let's set off now. The old monk Chang Deng glanced back at Chang Hui behind him, and whispered, "Senior Brother Chang Hui, you put dry food on your back." ”
After the five old monks went out, Lai Laodao and his entourage also walked out.
"Xuanying, go back, zombies don't dare to come out during the day, we'll be fine. Lai Changsheng grabbed Lin Xuanying's hand and shook it, smiled slightly, and led Mao Yuanshan and his apprentices to chase after the old monk not far away.
When the group of eight people walked to the corner of the street, Li Ge turned his head and glanced back at the door of the inn, and saw that the three figures who saw off him were still standing in place, and Lin Yurou, who was dressed in a white shirt like a fairy, looked at Li Ge with a shallow smile.
Seeing that beautiful face, Li Ge smiled bitterly, followed behind the master, and disappeared into the corner of the street.
Stepping on the early morning, walking the road to heaven, what is the wind and rain in Montenegro? The bones in the mountains, the stiffness in the village, and the collapse of the disaster and the Xiao wall. Pointing to the heavenly oath, I am willing to use my body to prevent chaos and help defend the road to cultivate the truth. Follow your heart and drive it.
