It was noon again, and Xu Zhipeng was a little hungry. He remembered that he had come to Xifei Temple four times to eat for free. From being embarrassed at the beginning, he has become a bit shameless now.

Anyway, his senior brother Zhichen always welcomed him cheerfully.

Today, there were not many people going up the mountain to play. There were only about ten people who stayed until lunch time, sitting scattered on four small tables, which seemed a bit empty. Of course, lunch is usually served until about two o'clock in the afternoon, and there should be many people coming later. Those who want to eat usually donate ten or twenty yuan in the merit box, and those who are more generous can also donate fifty-one. Hundreds of donations. Xu Zhipeng even saw a middle-aged man stuffing a large number of soft girls directly into it without blinking, which made him very envious.

At that time, he was thinking whether he would also open a canteen in the temple to serve lunch. Instead of asking for 500 yuan, each person would invest 10 yuan or 20 yuan, get back the money, and add some of his money. The labor fee is enough. It's a pity that with his Xuanwei, he can't meet anyone with the palm of his hand in a month, so he can do nothing. What's more, later on, not even the rice bugs were willing to stay in the rice vat, so there was nowhere left for diners. I can only be envious and jealous!

Man, I feel sorry for my misfortune and angry for my inability to fight, but I don’t know if it is fate, a fate of lack of money.

Xu Zhipeng sighed and walked out of the temple. It was of course impossible to donate money. Anyway, there is no need to pay attention to these adu things between brothers, not to mention the thousands of years of friendship.

Besides, this donation is also voluntary, and he has never seen a time when he would not be given meals if he did not donate money. As for fasting, it is free, and donating money is voluntary. There is nothing wrong with not giving money.

Xu Zhipeng walked and built himself mentally along the way. It’s just that after building it, I couldn’t help but laugh. "Alas, everything is poor!"

Fortunately, if one person is full, he will not be hungry at all. If he eats one meal, he can survive two meals. Let’s talk about tomorrow’s belly.

Xu Zhipeng was also open-minded, but it was a pity that God did not want him to have his way. As soon as he walked out of the gate of Xifei Temple, his cell phone started quarreling again.

In the past month, the mobile phone has been very quiet. Except for the reminder calls during this period, he has been able to put aside this harmful thing that he considers his little wife. As soon as the phone rang, he knew who was calling.

"Hello, is this Mr. Xu Zhipeng?"

Xu Zhipeng answered the phone, and the voice on the other end was serious and stiff, as if he owed her millions. Maybe it's because the debt has been in arrears for a long time. Now the collection calls are no longer robots, but real people. The woman's voice sounded pleasant, but a little cold.

"um, yes."

"Your credit card ending in 9527 has been overdue for seven days. You must deal with it today. Our backend department will check the account before four o'clock in the afternoon. If it has not been paid back, it will have a great impact on your credit report and even Your card will be frozen directly and you will be asked to pay back all the outstanding balances. You must pay attention to it!" After saying that, he hung up the phone with a snap.

Xu Zhipeng smiled bitterly and shook his head. Not to mention four o'clock today, even tomorrow afternoon, he doesn't have the money. He was even a little worried. His phone bill was already more than 140 yuan in arrears. If it was more than 10 yuan, the credit period would be over. By then, his phone would not be able to be connected, and he didn't know what would happen.

"Hey, where can I get money?" Xu Zhipeng had a splitting headache.

A monk like him who is on the second level of Qi training has a low level and a high level. It is difficult for him to cast a spell to scare people. What he can barely do now is draw a few low-level spells. And this was all thanks to his master's initiation and teaching. Otherwise, how could he draw the runes like ghostly drawings so quickly? It's a pity that I don't have enough energy, so now I can only draw simple low-level talismans such as peace blessings and amulets, and I can only draw three at most in a day, otherwise I won't be able to recover my energy the next day. He can also consecrate it, but unfortunately, what matters is reputation. He, a Taoist priest who became a monk on the way, has a lot of poverty, but no reputation at all.

Xu Zhipeng thought about it but couldn't find a way to make money quickly.

But hunger will never kill him, even if he doesn't have to eat for free.

Behind him were vast mountains, as far as the eye could see, and there was no place for him to eat alone.

Since the money is still not available, I can’t think about it so much and just worry more about dinner.

Zhuge Fairy Mountain is a bamboo mountain. It is covered all over the mountain. Except for moso bamboo, there is not even one thousandth of the stock of other bamboos. This also leads to a very troublesome thing. There are very few wild animals on this mountain. Bamboo, except for the bamboo shoot season in spring, there is basically nothing produced, which leads to the scarcity of wild animals, except of course, birds.

A bird only has a few taels of meat, which is not enough to fill the gap between the teeth. Moreover, after more than ten years of legal education, I have never thought of touching them. Therefore, if you want to recruit some food, you have to travel a lot more.

This is why Xu Zhipeng is not very enthusiastic. To survive in the wilderness, you just need to experience it. Running dozens of miles of mountain roads every day is exhausting but annoying to death.

But today he was in the mood, so he didn’t say much more.

Xu Zhipeng is on the second level of qi training and has three channels of true qi in his body. Although it is not very useful, if he can run dozens or hundreds of kilometers of mountain roads in one breath, it is not a big problem at all. Even if his breath is adjusted smoothly, it will not be of any use. Breathless.

It took him ten minutes to run down the mountain. This was because he often stopped and avoided climbers, otherwise he could save three minutes. This is the benefit of practicing, it strengthens the body. If he can practice to the middle stage of Qi training, which is the fourth level of Qi training, he can practice a wind control spell. That way, you don't have to go through the trouble of walking on the mountain road like now. You can just take advantage of the mountain breeze and borrow the strength from the treetops of the bamboo peaks. That would be beautiful.

Xu Zhipeng fantasized and kept walking. He saw a fat gray rabbit far away outside Bagua Tian, ​​but he ignored it.

He had not liked eating rabbit meat since he was a child and disliked the spicy flavor in the meat, so even though he saw it at his doorstep more than once, he never made a move. Otherwise, this little being would have cried to the King of Hell long ago.

I don’t know why this rabbit is so lucky. You must know that although rabbits are considered protected animals, who in the mountains will really abide by them? If they are caught, it will be considered unlucky. It is a miracle that this rabbit has grown so fat, and it is so happy in this rare mountain field.

Wish it good luck!

Xu Zhipeng didn't know what to think, so he threw a peace charm to it and waved goodbye to it.

There are few fields in the mountains, and there are even fewer people. , coupled with the increasingly strict animal protection laws, have made many small animals become bolder.

The rabbit was okay, at least there was no big harm, but the family that appeared soon after was different. It had shiny black fur and fangs over a foot long. It lowered its head, kicked its hind legs, and breathed heavily. If Xu Zhipeng hadn't shown no trace of hostility, it probably wouldn't have been able to bear it. Live rushed up.

As the leader, leader of the martial arts alliance, and as a patriarch, he still has some courage. It's just that this person exudes a smell that he can't name, and his nature makes him dare not make mistakes, otherwise he wouldn't be able to part with thousands of kilograms of rough meat.

It was also because the meat was too rough and saucy, so Xu Zhipeng also looked down on them. This is also their luck! Although the wild boar is a bit troublesome to deal with, he is no longer a mortal. He may not be as strong as this pig king, but it only takes a matter of minutes to deal with it.

Of course, the main reason is that the target is too big to handle. After all, they are also secondary protection animals. If you carry it up the mountain, it shouldn't be too conspicuous.

Forget it, Xu Zhipeng walked past it shaking his head. The Wild Boar King panted heavily but did not launch an attack. When Xu Zhipeng's figure disappeared from its sight, he arched his head impatiently into the wild bushes under him and chased after his harem team with vigorous steps.

There are really many wild boars in the mountains. He had just greeted a large group of people, and not long after, another large group appeared in front of him.

The pig king in front of me is not as majestic as the previous one, but it seems to have a much stronger temper. As soon as it saw Xu Zhipeng, it immediately lowered its head and rushed toward him. Xu Zhipeng dodged sideways and slapped it on the pig's head, causing it to fall more than ten meters away. It kicked its feet and couldn't get up even if it wanted to.
