Chapter Twenty-Eight: Descending the Mountain to Catch Ghosts
"Okay!please come with me!" After Zhao Long finished speaking, he led Ye Feng outside.
The two men then walked out of the main hall and into the back of the mountain.
Along the way, flowers and bamboos, fairy pavilions, and gurgling water fall from the peaks.
"This is where the monk should live, the atmosphere that he should have. ”
After walking for about a mile, they came to the gate of a cave. Zhao Long raised his hand and a sword light popped out, and it didn't take long for the door of the cave to open.
Zhao Long walked in with Ye Feng. This cave is not very deep, and after turning a few corners, I came to a stone chamber of about ten zhang.
A middle-aged Taoist sat there quietly.
This person was dressed in a black robe, extremely handsome, and his eyes were bright. It looks like a fairy wind bone.
Although he was just sitting there quietly, there was an invisible coercion that made people unconsciously feel awe.
As soon as Ye Feng saw it, he knew that this must be the foundation building monk stationed here.
Naturally, he didn't dare to be rude at the moment, so he hurriedly came over and gave a salute and said.
"Disciple Ye Feng, I've seen Uncle Shi!"
"Ye Feng?"
The black-robed Daoist's expression moved slightly when he heard this name.
"Your father is Ye Bufan, an inner disciple of the sect?"
"Ah...... It's my father!"
Ye Feng was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Shi knows his ancestor?"
"Sure enough, it's you!"
The other party first sighed lightly, and then suddenly said angrily: "What uncle, don't call me uncle! I am your father's senior brother, we studied art together for 20 years, and I hugged you when you were born......
"Oh......" Ye Feng originally thought that this uncle was a serious person, but as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he realized that the other party was an approachable person, and he happened to be his elder.
At that moment, he couldn't help but show a happy look on his face: "It turned out that the master and uncle were on top, and the master and nephew were rude!"
After saying this, Ye Feng knelt down directly, no matter what, this person is also his father's senior brother, listening to this person's words, it seems that he has an excellent relationship with his father, and this etiquette is naturally more thoughtful.
When the other party saw this, he couldn't help but nodded, and then he personally got up and helped Ye Feng up.
Then he said with some emotion: "After 20 years, I didn't expect you to be so old! If my junior brother and sister are still here, I will be very happy to see that you can have this achievement!"
When it came to his dead father, Ye Feng couldn't hold back anymore, thinking of the grievances he had suffered over the years, tears appeared in his eyes.
"Don't cry, idiot, I've been stationed here for more than 20 years, and if I don't take care of you, I'm really ashamed of the friendship of my brother and sister, but now, since you came here, it is equivalent to going to your own home. Don't worry, as long as I am here, no one will dare to bully you!"
The other party hurriedly comforted Ye Feng and said.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Ye Feng nodded slightly, and then asked a little embarrassedly: "Uncle Shi, look, I still don't know your old man's name?"
"Haha, this is my negligence! My common name is no longer needed, now that the Taoist name is Qingfengzi, you can just call me uncle!"
Qingfengzi said with a slight smile.
"Yes, uncle!" Ye Feng hurriedly nodded in agreement.
As soon as Ye Feng saw Qingfengzi, he immediately felt the love of his elders.
Qingfengzi shushed him for a while, and carefully asked about some things about Ye Feng when he was a child, Ye Feng said everything he could say, but since he beat his parents, he has been living a dark life, and it can be said that he was bullied and grew up, and then he blackened the magic weapons that the sect should give and took a broken sword...... Of course, Ye Feng's secret of the Chaos Peak, as well as the matter between him and Su Meier, naturally didn't say a word.
After Qing Fengzi heard Ye Feng's story, he was immediately furious, and he said angrily: "What your parents gave you was all from their own fighting, why did the sect take it away? What kind of rules is this? Someone must be bullying you! Xiaofeng, don't worry, when I go back, I will definitely make this matter clear, let him clean up those greedy villains, and give you justice!"
"Uncle ......"
Ye Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm such a trivial matter, don't alarm the master, right?"
In Ye Feng's heart, the head of the Immortal Spirit Sect was a great master at the Yuan Infant level, and he was completely a high-ranking existence, an unattainable figure. Where do you dare to provoke?
Even if he was a little wronged, he didn't dare to alarm such a high-level leader.
It's as if the ordinary people have been bullied by the county officials, and they will definitely not go to the emperor to sue the emperor, right?
But I didn't expect Qingfengzi to disagree with it after hearing this.
"Xiaofeng, you don't know, with the relationship between your parents and the head of the house, you are looking for him just right, if he knows that he didn't take good care of you, he will definitely feel guilty!"
"Why?"
Ye Feng couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and said in some surprise.
"My parents still have a relationship with the head of the family?"
"Of course, you must know that your father has been talented since he was a child, and he has worked hard in cultivation, and the most important thing is that he has an excellent heart, is kind, and is very righteous, these are all in the eyes of the master, and he originally planned to wait for your father to enter the Jindan realm, and he will directly accept it as a disciple's ......"
"Uncle Shi, since my father has such a relationship with the master, why have I been bullied since I was a child, and the head doesn't care? Is it because my talent is too wasteful, and my father died early, so I don't think there is any need to waste time on a little waste?"
"No, the head of the family is also righteous, and he has an excellent reputation in the door, he really cares about your father, if he knows your situation, he will definitely not watch you being bullied!"
Qingfengzi then explained: "He hasn't shown your situation all these years, it's really because he really doesn't have time. ”
"Could it be that the head of the sect has been in retreat for decades?" Ye Feng said strangely: "Even if he is in retreat, is the lady of the head also in retreat?"
"Ahem!" Qingfengzi coughed twice, then smiled mysteriously, and said, "You're really right, the head and the head lady have been in retreat since you were born, and they haven't come out until now......"
Ye Feng was very keenly aware that there was something strange in Qing Fengzi's expression, obviously the retreat between the head and the lady was not so simple. He didn't understand what was going on, but he didn't bother to ask any more.
"By the way, Uncle Shi, there is one thing I have never been able to figure out, how did my parents die? Why has the sect never given me accurate information? Only told me that they were killed outside, and nothing else!"
"Hey...... If you ask me, I don't know. ”
Qingfengzi smiled bitterly and spoke.
"I was sentenced to 30 years of guarding here for breaking the rules of the door, and when I came here, your parents were fine, and by the time I heard the news of their deaths, it was more than ten years later! However, we monks often experience outside, and it is common for us to be in distress, even if we are monks in the foundation building period, there are also disciples who have been lost, why, what doubts do you have about the death of your father?"
"Oh no, I just want to know what happened!" Ye Feng thought a little depressed.
"My parents gave birth to me and raised me, if even the two of them are old, I don't know what the reason is, I am really ashamed to be a son of man......"
"Well...... It's rare that you have this filial piety, and when I return to the sect in a few years, I will help you inquire!" Qingfengzi nodded.
"Thank you, uncle!" Ye Feng hurriedly saluted.
"You're welcome, it's all what I should do!"
Qingfengzi then said, "By the way, Ye Feng, since you are by my side in the future, then I have to take the responsibility of educating you for your absence, my generation of cultivators, what you are pursuing is the Supreme Heavenly Dao, you must cultivate well in the future, don't be confused by the prosperity outside, you know?"
"Yes!"
After Ye Feng said this, he obediently glanced at the monk next to him who was wearing a beautiful Taoist robe.
Qing Fengzi naturally saw Ye Feng's movements, and immediately his old face couldn't help but turn red, and then he couldn't help but scold: "Don't compare yourself with this waste, he has completely degenerated! Look at the gold and jade in his body, he doesn't talk about cultivation all day long, he only thinks about how to refine the Immortal Immortal Pill, where is this still like a monk? The whole thing is a god stick!"
The scolded Zhao Hu was obviously used to Qingfengzi's angry scolding.
smiled at the moment, and said unhurriedly, "Master, the disciple is not talented enough anyway, no matter how hard he cultivates, it is nonsense, it is better to take advantage of this great time and enjoy it!"
"Huh!
Qingfengzi scolded with a cold face, "It's not interesting at all!"
"The disciple doesn't want to do this, but the question is, some things can't be changed by hard work?" Zhao Hu smiled helplessly.
"Fart!" Qingfengzi scolded directly and unceremoniously: "
If you have talent, my junior nephew is the worst, the Five Elements Miscellaneous Spirit Root, but you see that people are now cultivating to the fifth level of Qi cultivation, he is only eighteen years old, and if you cultivate for another hundred and eighty years, it will be at this level, right?
"This ......"
Zhao Hu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
"Master, this ...... What's going on? Senior Brother Ye's talent is so poor, how can he still cultivate so fast?"
When Ye Feng heard this, he rolled his eyes: "Senior brother, what am I? A real genius of other people, he has completed his qi cultivation when he is seven or eight years old, and he has built a foundation at the age of thirteen or fourteen!"
"Oh...... Could it be that the aura of the 100,000 mountains is really so magical?"
Zhao Hu said with some surprise.
"Master, is it because of this that the disciple can't become a weapon?"
"Alas...... Of course, aura is a reason, but you yourself are indeed too lazy, otherwise, the foundation building is not without hope!"
Qingfengzi said helplessly.
"Oh, then what if I work hard now?" Zhao Hu said suddenly.
"It's late!" Qing Fengzi hated that iron could not become steel and said: "You have been wasted for too long these years, not only cultivation, but also the Dao heart, you no longer have a heart to the Dao, no matter how hard you try, it is useless!"
"Then it's not all the same, anyway, there is no hope of asking, it is better to enjoy more!"
Zhao Hu couldn't help but whisper and said.
"Alas!" Qing Fengzi was directly speechless at this disciple, and shook his head vigorously.
"Xiaofeng, you must not be like this, you must not be obsessed with this red dust!"
"Yes, the disciple knows!" Ye Feng hurriedly said with a respectful expression.
"Yes, you understand!"
Qingfengzi then said: "If you want to say that my Qingfeng View, although the aura is not as abundant as the 100,000 mountains, it is better to be quiet, there are not so many annoying things, you can cultivate here with peace of mind!"
"Yes!" Ye Feng agreed, and then asked curiously:
"Uncle Shi, then we don't have anything else to do here?"
"Huh...... It's not that there are no things at all, but it's just trivial things, just let a few of your senior brothers go to work!"
Qingfengzi said directly.
"Alas, master, this is not good!" Zhao Hu was not happy when he heard this, and hurriedly spoke: "We have a lot of things here, and we have to go to various places to find children who are suitable for cultivation, and we have to keep an eye on the movements of scattered cultivation in various places, and we also have to take care of the major affairs of Qingfeng Country, so many things, a few of us are really too busy! That's why I went to ask the General Altar to send someone to help! Now that this person is here, you don't ask him to work, do you want to exhaust us to death......
"Ahem......"
Qingfengzi couldn't help coughing after hearing this, and her old face was a little unbearable.
However, he also knew that people were indeed wronged, and there were too many things here, otherwise he would not have asked the sect for help.
However, Qingfengzi felt sorry for his old friend's son, and was unwilling to let him delay his cultivation for the sake of the world, and for a while, he was in a dilemma.
But fortunately, Ye Feng was very sensible, and when he saw that Qingfeng was embarrassed, he stood up directly and said:
"Uncle Shi, since the little nephew is here, then he is at his disposal, so naturally he can't sit back and watch the senior brothers get busy, and go to hide in the watch by himself. ”
"Alas!"
Qing Fengzi sighed helplessly, and then said, "Since that's the case, then let you do things first, but Zhao Hu, Xiaofeng has just come here, you have to arrange some good work for your junior brother, and it must not affect his cultivation, understand?"
"Yes, don't worry, master, I will definitely take good care of my junior brother!"
Zhao Hu thought for a moment, and then continued: "It's better like this, since the junior brother has just arrived, then don't make too complicated things, and we are familiar with the work in our hands, so I don't feel at ease if I hand it over to you." In that case, you can take care of the trivial matters in Qingfeng City. ”
"Are the trivial matters in Qingfeng City also in our hands?"
Ye Feng said suspiciously.
"Huh...... That can't be said, after all, Qingfeng Country was single-handedly supported by our Immortal Spirit Sect, and he helped us a lot, so they have some problems, and we can't sit idly by, right?"
Zhao Hu smiled slightly and then spoke.
"That's a good point, but isn't it appropriate for us monks to participate in mortal affairs?"
"Haha...... That's because there are some things that mortals can't solve, so naturally they can only rely on us. ”
"For example, recently, there are ghosts in the country when the prime minister is making trouble, he is an important minister of a country, if this haunted thing spreads, it will definitely be panicked at that time! It is not conducive to the stability of the country, so at this time, we monks are about to take action, but it just so happens that the people in our view have important things to do, and they really don't have the strength, but at this time, junior brother, you are here, why don't you give this task to you, you represent the Qingfeng View, and arrest the ghost, right?"
Ghost hunting? It's a novelty, I've never done it before."
Ye Feng immediately said curiously.
"Is it difficult to catch ghosts, can I do it?"
"Haha, of course it's fine!"
Zhao Hu said with a smile: "In fact, the so-called ghosts are just people who have suffered great grievances in their lives, and the three souls and seven spirits are separated from the body and cannot enter the cycle of life and death, this thing can scare mortals, but in the eyes of monks, there is nothing great, unless it is a ghost cultivator with some Taoism, that kind of thing is a threat, ordinary ghosts or something, we monks can easily handle it, there is no problem with it!"
"Huh...... That's a good thing!"
Qingfengzi also nodded slightly and said.
"It's just a wandering soul and wild ghost, even a mortal in the acquired realm can barely deal with it, let alone a fifth-level Qi cultivator like you, since you have this opportunity, it's good for you to go and see it!"
"Good!"
As soon as Ye Feng heard this, he was immediately relieved, and said immediately.
"Everything is up to the master!"
"Yes!"
Qingfengzi nodded, and then said to Zhao Hu: "Even so, you can take your junior brother there!"
"Yes, master!" Zhao Hu agreed, then gave a salute with Ye Feng, and then left here together.
After leaving the cave, Zhao Hu walked while introducing some local situations to Ye Feng, as a person who often deals with the outside, this old Taoist priest spoke very tactfully, and the knowledge was not to be said, far from Ye Feng, a rookie who had just come out of the mountain, could be compared.
After Zhao Hu's explanation, Ye Feng was interested in the situation here
With some understanding, after the two came back, Zhao Hu said to Ye Feng:
"Senior brother, you just came here, I should have picked you up and washed the dust, but that Xiangguo seems to have been troubled by ghosts, and he has been looking for me no less than seven or eight times before and after, if you don't go again, you can't say anything. So can I trouble you to go first, it won't take much time anyway?"
"Huh...... It's just a trivial matter, and the little brother is about to see what that ghost looks like?"
Ye Feng said without any care.
"This will trouble the junior brother!" Qingfengzi then smiled:
"When I left, I told them to prepare a sedan chair. ”
"Prepare the sedan chair?"
As soon as Ye Feng heard this, he was happy on the spot.
"Senior brother, we are all cultivators, such a little way, the flying sword urges, it will be there in a while, if you take a sedan chair, it will take three or four hours, it's too troublesome. ”
"Senior brother, you can't say that!"
Zhao Hu said with a smile: "Senior Brother Ye, this is the mortal realm, not the immortal cultivation realm, it's not okay for you to swagger around in the sky like this, those ignorant fools have to worship you like an immortal, are you willing to be bowed down to you one by one by the thousands of demons in Qingfeng City?"
"Oh, this ......"
Ye Feng thought about this for a while, and felt that it was really like that.
In the end, he could only smile bitterly and said.
"It's because I didn't think it through, so since that's the case, let's take a sedan chair!"
"Huh...... That's it!"
Zhao Hu smiled slightly, and then ordered his boys to give it to Ye Feng
guide the way, and at the same time tell Ye Feng that he will arrange a residence for Ye Feng, and when Ye Feng comes back, he can live in it directly.
Ye Feng saluted Zhao Hu, and then came to another small courtyard under the guidance of the boy.
Here, Ye Feng saw a middle-aged man, dressed gorgeously, this person was the great butler of Pang Xiangguo in the current dynasty, and he was anxiously waiting for the immortal master of Qingfeng Guan.
When he heard the introduction of this boy, Ye Feng was the Taoist priest sent by Qingfeng Guan to catch ghosts, and he was slightly stunned at first. Then he looked Ye Feng up and down carefully, and his brows wrinkled in an instant, this guy dislikes Ye Feng's dress is too shabby, and he doesn't look like a master at all.
