After Wei Hongqing left, Zuo Gaofeng looked at Lu Zian's body in the net bag, then looked at Tan Bazhang and Liu Xiaolou, as if he wanted to say something.
Tan Bazhang was also beating the drum in his heart, and he stopped talking several times.
Liu Xiaolou knew what they were worried about, and immediately said: "Don't worry, Brother Wei will be back soon."
Tan Bazhang muttered: "Brother Wei has never run away..."
Zuo Gaofeng hesitated and said: "It's different from a wedding ceremony. This is a big event. Brother Wei should... not do it."
Liu Xiaolou said: "For Brother Wei, Lu Zian's body is more important than the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Tan Bazhang shook his head and said, "Then why not just keep the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
This is difficult to answer, and there is no way to answer it. If you talk too much, new rifts will arise between them. Liu Xiaolou simply changed the subject: "Let's bury Xishan layman. After all, we are in the same camp, so it's hard to let him be exposed." Corpse wilderness.”
The three of them dug a deep pit and buried the layman from Xishan. They also made a wooden sign and inserted it on the grave. They stood in silence around the simple tomb for a long time. They didn't know what to say, and they all had their own thoughts.
I don’t know how long it took, but Wei Hongqing finally came back, his face beaming with joy, and he announced loudly: "The reward is here, each of the three brothers will receive fifteen spiritual stones!"
After the death of Master Xishan, Zuo Gaofeng and Tan Bazhang knew that the reward would be more than originally agreed upon, but being able to receive fifteen yuan was still beyond expectations and they couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Fifteen spiritual stones, this is a wealth that Liu Xiaolou did not even dare to hope for, and now he has really obtained it?
"Brother Wei, did you give up your share?" Liu Xiaolou asked.
Wei Hongqing joked: "It doesn't matter, you should share more, just as a return gift for the previous wedding gift. Otherwise, you guys will keep thinking about it, which will become a mental block and affect your practice. Then Wei will be guilty of a big crime." That’s it!”
The three of them burst into laughter, and now their calculations were resolved.
Wei Hongqing immediately sorted out the spiritual stones. Liu Xiaolou had fifteen shiny spiritual stones piled up in his palm. They felt like they were as heavy as a mountain. He carefully hid them in his arms and patted his clothes again, for fear of leaking out.
The matter was settled and everyone said goodbye. Zuo Gaofeng was going to Tianmen Shanfang City, while Tan Bazhang had to rush home. They said goodbye one by one and set off on their own journeys.
Liu Xiaolou was also about to go back to the mountain, but was stopped by Wei Hongqing, who took out a jade plaque and handed it to him.
"What is this?" Liu Xiaolou stroked the jade token and couldn't understand it. He just felt that this jade token was different from ordinary jade pendants and other jade articles. It contained rich spiritual power and could be regarded as a magic weapon.
Wei Hongqing said: "Didn't they give you the formation book? I asked my man, hehe, for a piece of spiritual jade, which is the material for refining the formation disk. This piece of spiritual jade is not Compared with the messy materials of Xishan layman, his phantom formation can be completely refined into this piece of spiritual jade, and its effectiveness will definitely be much greater."
Liu Xiaolou smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Wei, but I don't understand the formation."
Wei Hongqing disagreed: "Study, who knows the formations from birth? Now that you have formation books, formation disks, and spiritual stones, it is not impossible to refine a set of phantom formations, but it is really not possible. , sold the book of formation and the spiritual jade together, and got at least five or six more spiritual stones!"
What else can be said? Any words of thanks are superfluous!
Liu Xiaolou put away the jade plaque and asked, "Brother Wei, looking at you, is it okay to enter the outer gate of Tianmu Mountain?"
Wei Hongqing nodded and said: "That's almost it. When I have established my footing, you can come to Tianmu Mountain to find me. I will show you the scenery of the blessed land of Tianmu Mountain."
Liu Xiaolou yearned for it and said, "Blessed land, I haven't seen it yet, and I don't know what it looks like."
Wei Hongqing smiled: "It's just like that, it's just a spiritual spring nourishing it for practice."
Liu Xiaolou said with envy: "Brother Wei has been practicing for many years, and now he has finally entered a famous sect. From now on, he will no longer be burdened by the reputation of Wulong Mountain. Congratulations to Brother Wei."
Wei Hongqing said with emotion: "Since I left the mountain, I have been wandering around a lot. If it weren't for chance, I wouldn't be as lucky as I am today. To be honest, although Wulong Mountain has a bad reputation, it is our home after all. Back then. I had no choice but to run away from home because I didn’t think carefully about it. After traveling around the world, I realized that monks without a home can’t even afford the days to calm down and practice. With the roots of Wulong Mountain, I can at least live in peace. The storms outside are really dangerous. ah......"
Liu Xiaolou had also heard his teacher talk about the hardships of cultivating as a monk without a home, but he was not as deeply touched by it as Wei Hongqing.
Seeing that his sworn brother could find a good home, Liu Xiaolou was still very happy for him, although there was a hint of disappointment in this joy - just half a year ago, he wanted to join the Dongyang Sect, a large sect in southern Hunan, but could not. , can you not be disappointed?
Wei Hongqing said again: "I will go to the Lu family's ancestral hall in Tianmu Mountain to receive the entrance ceremony. I can't wait too long..."
Liu Xiaolou joked: "Go ahead, my sister-in-law is still waiting for you, right? I just don't have a chance to meet that sister-in-law."
Wei Hongqing hesitated and said: "She... doesn't like to meet outsiders..."
Of course Liu Xiaolou knew Wei Hongqing's dilemma. The sister-in-law he had never met before was a member of a famous family, and her willingness to accept Wei Hongqing was already considered an exception. How could she be willing to recognize him as his uncle and sister-in-law? This is not as simple as lowering one's status. I wouldn't be willing to do it if I were myself.
"Then let's meet again when we have the opportunity in the future."
Wei Hongqing nodded and said: "Then, I went for my brother..."
Liu Xiaolou watched him leave. Not far away, Wei Hongqing remembered something again and turned around and said: "Xiaolou, this is Taoyuan. Twenty miles to the northeast, there is a mountain named Xingde Mountain. There is a master in the mountain, known as Xingde Mountain." Dejun, if you want to refine the formation plate, you can go to Xingde Mountain."
Liu Xiaolou nodded, waved to him, and watched his figure disappear under the mountain col in the distance.
Only Liu Xiaolou was left alone in the forest, and there were two tombs, one deep and one shallow. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go to Xingde Mountain first to see if there was an opportunity to refine the formation disk.
I was once trapped in a phantom formation, and I was still very attracted by the power of this phantom formation. My cultivation level was low, and my fighting skills were seriously lacking. If I could have a phantom formation nearby, I might be able to save my life at the critical moment.
Heading to the northeast, we soon entered the chaotic mountains. It was said to be twenty miles away, but in fact we didn't arrive until the evening. Thanks to meeting a woodcutter, we found the top of the mountain.
Climbing up the mountain, you can see strange rocks and pines along the way, and the scenery is particularly impressive. Accompanied by the afterglow, we climbed to the top of the mountain and saw a stone temple called "Xingde Temple".
Xingde Temple is not big. It is a small temple with three halls. It covers an area of about half an acre and occupies most of the top of the mountain.
There is a gate in the Taoist temple, but there is no courtyard wall to cover it. The main hall, the east side hall, and the west wing are arranged in a circle with the word "pin" in the middle. There is a pavilion about three-thirds of the land in the middle. There are two cranes standing on the left and right of the pavilion. Copper stove, there is burning incense curling up in the stove, and it smells like a slight smoke.
I had just experienced a field battle and suddenly came to this quiet little view. I felt that my whole soul had been washed and made much cleaner.
Liu Xiaolou stood solemnly at the foot of the steps and bowed towards the main hall: "Is Mr. Xingde here? This junior Liu Xiaolou is here to pay his respects!"
