The four of them all looked out when they heard the sound, Zuo Tianyou didn't dare to open the door and go out, for fear of being recognized by Li Yuanzhong and his gang, so he approached the crack in the door to see outside.

An old man with a white beard, a dark complexion, and silver hair stood in the courtyard, carrying a load full of firewood on his shoulders, carrying a pheasant in his hand, and a bamboo whistle in his mouth.

At this time, the white-clothed disciple walked out of the inner room and beckoned, "Master Chang, why did you come so late! I waited for you all day yesterday!"

The master Chang unloaded the firewood, threw the pheasant to the ground, and said angrily: "It's not because of this beast!"

Zuo Tianyou looked at the pheasant on the ground, the size was as big as a small eagle, there was no injury on his body, and no blood flowed out, as if he had been electrocuted, and he died straight. I thought to myself, this old man doesn't seem to be three or four hundred years old, but he must be more than two hundred years old, and he can actually collect firewood and pheasants, which is really a good skill!

"Hehe! I guess you're stopped by a bird, it's really good!" The white-clothed disciple walked to the firewood and turned over the neatly chopped branches, pulled it with his hand, patted the ashes, and said, "Master Chang, it's not right! This time it's less! You always do this, how can I explain to the above." ”

Master Chang smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Just this time, I'll make it up to you next time, isn't it okay?"

The white-clothed disciple sneered and said: "Master Chang, I know that you are a big person, and it is not easy to do this work of cutting down the purple iron tree, so I have blocked many times for you, if you only care about tinkering with that formation and not chopping wood well, I will report everything you did in this forest to the master!"

Isn't this white-clothed disciple claiming that he is a master, which means that he should also be from the Taichu Island Sect, in this case, why does he not refine the weapon but make some kind of formation?

It turned out that Master Chang was the senior brother of the third head of Taichu Island, and at that time, the establishment of the sect on Taichu Island was still short, not with refining weapons as the sect, but with the name of the formation to shock the world, but Chang Shigong's master preferred Chang Shigong's junior brother, so he passed the position of head to him. But not long after his junior brother took over as the head of the sect, several jade veins were discovered on Taichu Island one after another, and several elders were moved and persuaded the head of the sect to cultivate disciples to refine weapons. The later heads were driven by interests and made more and more achievements in refining weapons, so after that, the world knew that the jade magic weapons of Taichu Island were famous all over the world, but the early formations of Taichu Island gradually faded away, until now only this Chang Shigong is hiding in the mountains and forests to spend time alone in the array.

Master Chang was still a little soft just now, and suddenly heard the white-clothed disciple's tone hardened, and he also said: "There are so many purple iron trees on the back mountain, the more you cut them, the less they are cut, and I have to climb most of the mountain to get them together, don't be satisfied! If you have the ability, you can find someone else to cut it, I am happy to do something I like in the mountains!" After speaking, he spat loudly, and then scolded: "As far as your head is concerned, you want to call me uncle in terms of seniority, you can sue him yourself, I see that he has the face to break with me about the formation." Hmph! Originally, my Taichu Island formation was invincible in the world, but now I have to get some refining weapons! Not to mention the manpower and material resources, I have to work to chop wood for them to burn the fire! Isn't it just digging a jade mine, to put it mildly, it is just for the spirit stone and spirit crystal, and over the years, Taichu Island has been more and more damaged by these few ruined people! Now the purple iron trees on the back mountain are all extinct! What something!" The more Chang Shigong scolded, the more angry he became, his face was red, and the stars were flying all over the sky.

The white-clothed disciple dodged back, picked up his sleeve and wiped his face, thinking that there were guests living in the upper room at this time, this old man was too open-mouthed, so he quickly changed his face and said with a smile: "Master, Master, Master! I'm afraid of you! Don't scold! You think about it for me, where is the head of this island can't be seen, you are scolding, but I am unlucky! This way, you don't have to make up for this firewood, just hand it over all the next time, and I'll go and follow for you when you come back, how about it!"

Master Chang stroked his white beard, and said with a wicked smile on his face: "It's still your little apprentice who is smart, so I won't complain." After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw the pheasant on the ground and turned around and said: "I'll take this pheasant and feed it to the demon beast, our demon beasts in the mountains lack food, and they are very thin." ”

The white-clothed disciple was reminded by him like this, and also remembered something, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't be, I have a guest here to eat, you can cook this pheasant and send it to it, so I don't have to let it be made again." ”

Master Chang had a small braid in the hands of the white-clothed disciple, so he had to nod his head in agreement, thinking that it was no big deal to be a chicken, so he picked up the pheasant paws and walked to the kitchen.

Zuo Tianyou thought to himself that Taichu Island was not in the refining industry in the early years, and this old man was not young, and he must be very powerful in terms of formation. The inn is now in danger, and the Sun family is ready to unite several families to the disadvantage of the shopkeeper, if they can learn some formation methods from this old man, wouldn't there be more heavy barriers and protection?

Zuo Tianyou's mind was suddenly known by the Gu Eagle, and the little guy jumped up and down in the space and said: "It seems that this old man's formation method should be quite strong, it must be right to learn those two tricks!"

This said to Zuo Tianyou's heart, thinking that on Taichu Island, this old man didn't seem to be very popular, otherwise he wouldn't be assigned to chop any firewood in the mountains, and now in the past, as long as he spoke respectfully and humbly asked for advice, he was afraid that he would be able to say something about this old man.

Thinking of this, Zuo Tianyou looked out at the terrain, determined the location of the kitchen, and ran towards the kitchen when the yard was empty.

The kitchen in the upper room is mainly for some low-level monks who can't completely clear the valley, usually don't use much, there is no smoke in it, it is very clean and tidy, a wide stove sits under the windowsill, and the stove pot still seems to be cold.

Zuo Tianyou picked up the curtain and entered the door to see, the Chang Shicheng was sitting in the hearth and went to add firewood inside, a centuries-old man, under the firelight, there was not even a trace of wrinkles on his face, but his skin was very dark.

Chang Shicheng was upset about the fire, heard the sound of the door curtain, raised his head and looked, a young junior walked in, and said angrily: "Guitong, that kid sent you? Hurry up, come and help me light the fire!"
