The opponent said "Hey" and raised his stick again. Liu Xiaolou turned to the right a few feet between the lightning and flints. With a flick of his wrist, the ends of the blurred tendons were exposed, ready to fight back desperately.
When the other party saw Liu Xiaolou escaping, he freed up his right hand and transformed it into a palm. In the dark night, he saw his single palm faintly shaking, emitting a ball of light. The light was like a crane spreading its wings and about to fly.
"I'm trying to fool you!"
At this moment, Zuo Gaofeng, who was hanging in the net, shouted loudly: "Tan Ba Zhang!"
This loud shout immediately interrupted the fierce fighting. Liu Xiaolou was immediately stunned and looked at the man. The man was also stunned, jumped three steps away diagonally, leaned forward slightly, and faced Liu Xiaolou. The left peak in the building and hanging net looked around.
"It's me, Zuo Gaofeng! You're beating Liu Xiandi, Liu Xiaolou of Sanxuan Sect!"
"Oops!" The man slapped his forehead, let go of the iron rod, tore off the black scarf that covered his face, rushed over and put down the hanging net, and kept chanting: "I'm sorry for this, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple!"
As soon as he pulled off the black scarf, Liu Xiaolou could see clearly. Isn't this Tan Ba Zhang, whom he had met once before?
Speaking of which, this relationship also stems from Wei Hongqing, who was also a victim of Wei Hongqing's wanderings. We all scolded her together on Ghost Dream Cliff that day!
Zuo Gaofeng came out of the hanging net and asked curiously: "Brother Tan, why are you here in Wuling Mountain?"
Tan Bazhang was very embarrassed: "I originally planned to go on a long trip, but I met a thief on the way. The money was lost inexplicably, so I thought that this mountain was a good place to do business. Who would have thought that I would meet two brothers on my first order? , oh, forgive me, forgive me!"
After saying that, he came over to apologize to Liu Xiaolou: "There are many good brothers, don't worry about my rashness!"
Liu Xiaolou could only smile bitterly: "It doesn't matter."
Tan Bazhang gave another thumbs up: "Xiandi is so skilled and has dedicated his whole life to cultivating himself for his brother, but his stick was easily blocked by Xiandi. I admire you, I admire you so much!"
Liu Xiaolou's wrists are still trembling now, and he can't be said to be "relaxed". However, he is not familiar with Tan Bazhang, so he doesn't dare to show his timidity. He just said calmly: "Wonderful praise, ridiculous praise!"
Zuo Gaofeng was a little familiar with Tan Bazhang, so he smiled and chatted for a few words, and asked him where he was going. Tan Bazhang said that several of his cousins from the Tan family were in Yuanling, and he wanted to meet them if they wanted to meet him. As for what it was, it was a family matter, so it was not easy for Zuo Gaofeng to ask more questions.
But since Tan Bazhang lost his money, and there was a common sense of mutual wealth among fellow Taoists, he took out twelve taels of grained silver as a gift, and Tan Bazhang was not polite and took it into his arms.
Zuo Fengfeng said: "There are too many insects, snakes and ferocious beasts in the mountains, and there are also path-cutting thieves. It's really not a good idea for Brother Tan to go alone. Why don't we go out into the mountains together?"
Tan Bazhang nodded immediately: "Damn, there are too many thieves on this journey, so I would love to be able to go with you two."
So the three of them laughed and walked together over the mountains and ridges, and by noon the next day, they were out of Wuling Mountain.
There is no eternal banquet in the world. Everyone goes to different places, so we have to part ways here. Although this section of the Wuling Mountain road is short, we have forged a deep friendship with each other. When we parted, we reluctantly parted and cherished each other.
"Brothers and you, we are destined to meet each other in Wuling Mountain. If you have something to do in the future, you can come to Banmu Gorge to look for Zuo. Zuo will not dare to say goodbye!"
"Brother Zuo's words are true. Since we are destined to meet each other, there will be a day when we meet again. Then Tan will have a drink with Brother Zuo and Brother Liu Xian!"
"Thank you very much, my two brothers. When we meet again, we will stay drunk until we meet again!"
So Zuo Gaofeng headed northeast, Tan Bazhang headed southeast, and Liu Xiaolou embarked on the road due east. The three brothers almost shed tears.
After Liu Xiaolou traveled east for more than ten miles, he turned around and headed south. After traveling for twenty miles, he turned west again. This journey took a full detour of twenty or thirty miles, but luckily he made it before dark. Arrive at Tianmen Mountain.
Tianmen Mountain has two main peaks, each one hundred feet high. The tops of the two peaks are connected by natural stone beams, like a door to the sky. The weather is extremely spectacular, so it is named Tianmen Mountain.
Liu Xiaolou also came here for the first time. When he saw this majestic gate, he was greatly shocked. He raised his head and looked at it for a long time, and thought to himself: This miraculous work can be said to be the work of gods. Are there really gods in the sky? I wonder if this is where the immortals and gods live?
For a time, he became even more eager to seek immortality and practice Taoism.
Under this Heavenly Gate, a market has sprung up from unknown years. There are dozens of sects, sects and major families stationed in it. There are also casual cultivators from all over Jingxiang who come and go all the year round, selling spiritual souls. There are all kinds of shops selling materials, spiritual flowers and herbs, elixirs, magic tools and talismans. There are wine shops, tea shops, brothels, gambling houses, inns and horse shops, which are extremely prosperous.
A city is ten times better than Wuchao Town.
Liu Xiaolou was walking in the busy market, looking at this house and that house, he was really dazzled.
Dai Gaosheng said that he met Wei Hongqing at Hongji Restaurant at the east end of Tianmenfang. This sworn brother always liked wine. When looking for his place, of course his first choice was Hongji Restaurant. Well, both have the character "Hong". This is the right one.
After walking and searching all the way, I finally found Hongji Restaurant at the east end of Fangshi.
The three-story restaurant was quite grand. It was evening at this time, and there were many customers coming in and out. The waiters in the restaurant were shouting and shouting incomprehensible words. There were people carrying trays, people carrying pots, and people carrying wine. They kept coming and going.
The top floor was full, so Liu Xiaolou chose the second floor. There were no tables by the window, so he only found a single table in the corner. He ordered three side dishes, served rice and wine, and ate with an open stomach.
Hongji Restaurant has a solid background and strong strength. There are more than ten kinds of spiritual birds and animals to choose from among the dishes. However, the price is ridiculously expensive. Liu Xiaolou did not dare to order it. The three side dishes he ordered were all ordinary dishes, except for the bowl of rice. It was spiritual rice, and I also ordered a small pot of spiritual wine, which only cost five taels of silver. Ordinary people really couldn't afford it.
Even Liu Xiaolou only dares to be extravagant once in a while.
Forget about the food, the pot of spiritual wine tasted bland and lacked spiritual power. It was much worse than the spiritual wine that I drank at Jinping Villa that day. But for five taels of silver for a pot of spiritual wine, you can't expect anything extra. The clerk recommended the best Bamboo Leaf Green, which easily cost tens or hundreds of taels of silver, or even spiritual stones, but he couldn't afford it.
After eating and drinking slowly for half an hour, Wei Hongqing was nowhere to be seen. Just as he was thinking about finding a waiter to inquire, a man came out from the row of private rooms and shouted to the waiter: "Another pot of bamboo leaf green!"
Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but feel happy, Wei Hongqing, you are indeed here!
When the two met, Wei Hongqing was like a bear hug, and Liu Xiaolou was almost choked by him.
After finally letting go, Wei Hongqing patted his shoulder and said, "Xiaolou, I knew you would come, haha!"
Liu Xiaolou muttered: "That old mountain ginseng..."
Wei Hongqing smiled and said: "It's really a good thing. It is indeed a spiritual ginseng grown in Shouyang Mountain. I brewed a jar of wine, and guess what? I brewed it for three months and drank it in three days. My cultivation level improved greatly. Ha ha!"
Liu Xiaolou sighed helplessly and was pulled into the private room by Wei Hongqing: "Come on, come on, let me introduce you to a good friend!"
