To the west of Jincheng Partridge Mansion are mountains.
When there is no drought, the mountains are stretched, the peaks are towering, the ancient trees are towering, there are countless birds and beasts, and there are even rumors of ferocious monsters appearing. Even the fierce bandits only dare to operate on the outskirts of the mountains.
However, now the mountains are no longer green, the water is no longer there, and the birds and animals are extinct, leaving only a yellow and dead color.
On July 5th, at ten o'clock in the morning, a group of people appeared deep in the mountains.
There were eight people in this group, including men and women, old and young, monks and Taoists, bandits and soldiers.
It was Zhang Xiaopeng and others who came all the way from Yancheng to find the remains of the four star powers, Taoist Tianwu, Master Kongxiang, the donkey-faced old man and the blind uncle.
To be more precise, the others came to find the remains, while Zhang Xiaozhu and his senior brothers and sisters came to save Taoist Tianwu, because the soul lamp left by Taoist Tianwu in Sanqing Temple has not been extinguished, which means that he is not dead yet.
When Yaxuan heard the news from Yiweidao that day, Zhang Xiaozu was so excited that he almost fainted.
Only one great monk came to Tianbaoshan, and his name was Huijing.
Jing has the meaning of six pure roots.
But Zhang Xiaozu felt that he might not be able to be pure in this life, unless Taoist Qinglian showed mercy and let him go, but this was obviously unlikely. If he could let it go, Taoist Qinglian would have let it go long ago.
Once tempted, a lifetime of infatuation, no regrets.
Qinglian has no regrets.
The great monk probably has no regrets.
Zhang Xiaozu only knew that the journey was very tiring for the great monk.
When we set out two days ago, Taoist Qinglian was extremely rogue and forced the great monk to carry a simple bamboo chair on his back. She was like a empress, sitting back to back with the great monk, holding a beautiful oil-paper umbrella with a peony pattern in her hand, lying half on the bamboo chair, and letting the great monk carry her all the way.
However, she didn't take advantage of the great monk. She kept wiping the sweat from the great monk's shiny head on the way, and pinched two amethyst grapes with her green-white jade fingers and fed them to the great monk. However, the process was a bit violent, and she pinched them forcibly. Open the monk's mouth and stuff it in.
Along the way, Zhang Xiaozu witnessed with his own eyes all the "bullying" behavior of his senior sister against the great monk, which made him unable to help but wonder whether the great monk had become a monk in order to avoid atrocities. However, he was quite envious of the great monk, because he was also carrying someone on his back, so no one helped him wipe his sweat, and no one fed him amethyst grapes.
When Wan Qiuqing saw Taoist Qinglian carrying a carrier for the great monk, he immediately imitated his example and made a carrier for Zhang Xiaozu to carry on his back. Then he helped Zhang Butcher up, which was called hard training and training.
Zhang Xiaopeng was not dissatisfied, so he was willing to carry the old man on his back because of his lifelong friendship with Zhang Butcher on the battlefield. What's more, the old man also taught him a peerless sword technique, which made him half a master. . It is natural for a disciple to carry his master on his back.
He was just curious about the relationship between Wan Qiuqing and Zhang Tufu. The two of them treated each other like a daughter serving her father, greeting them with every possible care. For a moment, Zhang Xiaozu had a bold guess in his mind, but he immediately shook his head and rejected it.
Not to mention that Butcher Zhang was in the northern border and had no time to come to the southern border. Because the northern border is now as chaotic as the southern border, or even more chaotic than the southern border. Otherwise, how could his two disciples die in battle. As the king of Zhenbei, Zhang Tufu must be busy quelling the war in the northern border without even thinking about it. He would have no time to come to the southern border.
Just talking about his appearance, Zhang Xiaozu denied the possibility that Veteran Zhang was Zhang Butcher.
Zhang Tu
The husband, the butcher, even if his face is not full of violence and fierceness, at least he has a majestic face and a formidable aura. The terrifying evil aura alone might scare people away from getting close.
It is impossible to be as easy to get along with as the person on my back. Although there is an aura of calmness and self-power in him, once you get familiar with it, you can no longer feel it, only kindness and kindness are left. Otherwise, Meilanzhuju would not be able to chat with him. So happy to speculate, and it seems that a deep friendship has been formed.
A group of eight people were walking all the way, but Wu Man'er was the only one who was unhappy the whole time, not because of the donkey-faced old man's death, but because the third leader, Wen Buwu, saw that everyone else had seats, so he forced Wu Man'er to carry one on his back. It's called caring for and caring for the elderly. But Wu Man'er was obviously unwilling to protect and care for this old man. She kept mumbling and complaining, but she didn't throw Wen Buwu off her back.
When Wen Buwu saw Butcher Zhang for the first time, he was startled as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, but Butcher Zhang made a silence gesture in time, causing him to swallow back the frightened sound that reached his lips.
The two only chatted a few words intermittently on the way, not much.
After climbing two more mountains, a group of eight people stopped.
Taoist Yiwei took off a copper coin from the Nine-Nine Evil Punishment Money Sword left by Taoist Tianwu to Zhang Xiaopeng, sealed it and cast a spell. The copper coin floated into the air and flew in one direction.
The eight people followed the copper coin into a valley and saw a deep cave entrance at the bottom of a cliff. The copper coin hovered in front of the cave entrance, blocked by an invisible light curtain. Looking at the environment around the cave entrance, one can easily tell that the cave entrance was once the outlet of an underground river.
Taoist Yiwei put his hand on the light screen and felt it for a while, then said, "It's the seal left by Senior Situ. It must be here."
Butcher Zhang, Wen Buwu and Taoist Qinglian consciously got off their backs. Entering the cave was a dangerous place and they did not dare to be careless.
"Why are there so many footprints on the ground? And they are all going in, but there are only a few sets of footprints going out." Zhang Xiaozhu asked in surprise, pointing to the messy footprints on the ground.
"Senior Tianwu said that someone was sacrificing the ancient corpse alive. These footprints that can only be entered but cannot be exited should be left by those who were sacrificed." Wan Qiuqing said as he took out a special military torch from his backpack. Give one to each person.
"Amitabha!" After hearing this, the great monk said the Buddha's name pitifully.
"Master Taoist, please tell me the fortune of this trip." Wu Man'er said to Taoist Yiwei with a smile.
"The head master's uncle had already made some calculations before coming here," Taoist Yiwei said in response.
"What do you say?" Wu Man'er asked impatiently.
"Changes in the world, opportunities, misfortunes and blessings, life and death are intertwined. Remember the word 'greed'." Taoist Yiwei said.
Wu Man'er's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "What does chance mean?"
"I don't know." Taoist Yiwei shook his head.
"What does the word 'greed' mean?" Wu Man'er asked again.
"I don't know." Taoist Yiwei shook his head again. Seeing that Wu Man'er wanted to ask more questions, he quickly said, "The answers are all in the cave."
"Tch!" Wu Man'er rolled her eyes in displeasure and said, "If I said it, I didn't say it."
Wen Buwu stroked his beard and said: "The heaven and earth are undergoing sudden changes, fortunes and misfortunes happen by chance, it seems that something incredible will appear in this world."
"Since Yu Chengyang is relieved to let you two come, there won't be much danger. Just remember his motto. Let's go in.
Hole. "Butcher Zhang said.
Taoist Yiwei nodded, grabbed the light screen with a sudden grab, and directly tore the light screen into pieces, breaking the seal left by Situ Qing.
This seal was placed casually when he escaped from the cave. He was seriously injured at the time, so it didn't have much power.
Lighting the torches, a group of eight people walked forward in twos and twos.
The cave stretched all the way underground, similar to the underground river Zhang Xiaozu walked in Baihuang Mountain. It was deep and deep, and I walked for four hours without seeing the end. Fortunately, they had learned about it carefully from Situ Qing before coming, and knew that the cave was extremely deep, so they were mentally prepared. In addition, they are all determined people, and even after walking for four hours, no one became upset because they could not bear it.
Along the way, there were many seals left by Situ Qing and Tang Jiucai when they escaped, but they were all placed in a hurry when they were injured, and they were all easily broken by Taoist Yiwei.
Zhang Xiaozu has been using the Subtle State of Mind. Since his last breakthrough in cultivation, his Subtle State of Mind has been able to cover a distance of three hundred steps without missing any details, but he has not made any special discoveries.
After walking forward for more than four hours, there was a fork in the road ahead, one cave entrance to the left and another cave entrance to the right.
According to Situ Qing, if you enter the cave on the left and walk forward for two or three hours, you will encounter a collapsed tomb.
There are nine tomb chambers in total, and the ancient corpse is in the main tomb chamber in the innermost chamber. The main tomb chamber is very large, over a hundred feet long and wide.
Situ Qing said that they fought with the ancient corpse in the main tomb chamber. The blind uncle and the donkey-faced old man died in the battle. Finally, Taoist Tianwu and Master Kongxiang sacrificed their lives to seal the ancient corpse.
However, the copper coins flying in the air after Taoist Tianwu flew towards the hole on the right.
Taoist Yiwei frowned and fixed the copper coin, looked at everyone and said: "The ancient coin contains the essence and blood of the family master. It can trace the position of the family master. This is definitely true, so do you think there are two ways? "
"Who?!" Zhang Xiaozu suddenly shouted.
In the cave on the right, a figure suddenly broke into the coverage area of his subtle state of mind, but this figure seemed to be able to sense his subtle state of mind. It broke in and then retreated instantly. Zhang Xiaopou didn't even have time to see him clearly. appearance.
Everyone was startled by his sudden shout, and all cast inquiring glances at him.
"There was someone in the cave on the right. As soon as he stepped into the area covered by my subtle state of mind, he retreated out again. He was so fast that I didn't even have time to see his face clearly." Zhang Xiaozu quickly explained.
"Go to the right." Butcher Zhang made up his mind, and regardless of whether the others agreed or not, he unfolded his body and rushed into the cave on the right.
No one had any objections, and they all followed Butcher Zhang and rushed into the cave on the right.
"I saw it!" After chasing for more than a thousand steps, Zhang Xiaozu's subtle state of mind suddenly covered a figure in the darkness in front of him. The figure was half-bowed and retreating cautiously, like a wild beast that had smelled a hunter. The approaching breath, then turned and ran.
Zhang Xiaozhu felt a chill coming from his tail vertebrae and said, "It's a corpse monster!"
He clearly saw that the figure was covered with fine red hair, including his face, and even his eyes were covered by fine red hair.
As soon as he finished speaking, his scalp suddenly stood up and goosebumps appeared on his body. He was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva, and then said in an uncertain tone: "It seems - it seems - it's the blind uncle."
