At the beginning of the afternoon of the second day, Luan Tingsan came to visit carrying a wine jar, bowls, chopsticks and two bags of cooked food.
Luan Tingsan shaved off his old beard, changed his swordsman attire into a brand-new green preacher's robe, and put a bun on his head. He looked strangely different. He opened the bowls and chopsticks, patted the seals, and filled them up. Two bowls of wine, he raised the bowl and said:
"I have untied my knot in my heart and came here to drink with you. I have figured it out. In fact, practicing Taoism and Sword Cultivating is all about pursuing the path, no matter what path you take. It was because I was too persistent in the past and was looking for trouble, which delayed me for many years. "
Zhang Wenfeng suddenly realized that Luan Tingsan had found his own way by changing his mind and image.
He raised his wine bowl and smiled back: "Congratulations on your improved state of mind, your heart is clear and the world is wide, please!"
There is one less swordsman in the world, and He Guangjun will be even more lonely.
The two clinked the bowls and drank it all in one go. Then they slowly picked up vegetables and ate wine. They chatted and exchanged their feelings about swordsmanship and Jiugong Feixingbu. When they got excited, they got up and made a few gestures in the stone hall, then sat down and continued drinking and eating.
Luan Tingsan, an old Jianghu man, was very good at making friends. After a few bowls of wine, they became like old friends for many years. There was no barrier between them, and they became brothers.
Zhang Wenfeng took advantage of the wine and asked, "Brother Luan, is it your suggestion to Mr. Gao to help me arrange a leisure patrol?"
Gao Yi and Luan Tingsan were both monks of Weiyun Temple and belonged to the same sect, so they asked this question.
He really couldn't think of anyone else who could help him and put in a nice word for him in front of the two adults.
Luan Tingsan shook his head and said: "In my opinion, it would be best for you, Brother Zhang, to form a team with me. But Uncle Gao said that you have helped Du Yatou a lot. As a master, he must return the favor. The three adults sitting here , each has a set of patrol envoy spots, and senior brother and I don’t want it, he made the decision and gave it to you, and also said that if you don’t like being a patrol envoy, just tell him.”
Zhang Wenfeng said with a smile: "It's good this way. You can feel free and at ease, and you can still kill ghosts."
He didn't expect that Gao Yi was Du Huijian's master. It was probably a headache for the master to see his disciple determined to follow the path of sword cultivation and plunge into a dead end.
His words of advice changed Du Huijian's choice, and Gao Yi accepted his sentiment.
It's so good, I accidentally planted a flower.
Luan Tingsan smiled and said: "I don't understand you. Why would you hide your good skills? Wouldn't it be better to kill more ghosts and gain more credit? There are not many opportunities like this."
He took a sip of wine and said: "This morning, the demon clan sent a few guys to ask us to release two rebellious fox demons. They thought they were too shameless, but they were rejected by Master Gao and the others. How can you spit out the meat that has reached your mouth... Uncle Gao asked me to remind you to watch out at night to be careful of the demon clan causing trouble, so be more careful and you can just wander around outside."
The latter sentence was a meaning added by himself. Night patrol is just an idle job, and there is no way to prevent ghosts from coming out.
Zhang Wenfeng put down his chopsticks, raised his fists into the air and said a polite word of thanks.
He didn't ask much about the benefits of taking in the two defected fox demons. Luan Tingsan had already revealed that it was "meat for the mouth." It was better not to pry into these secrets.
Even if you become friends with Luan Tingsan, you still have to have a sense of boundaries and know how to behave appropriately.
The drink lasted for almost an hour before the meal ended.
After seeing off Luan Tingsan, Zhang Wenfeng went down the hillside. It was still more than half an hour before dusk. He walked towards the south where the lush vegetation was. After walking for more than three miles, he saw a sparse path trampled on the grass, so he stood and waited for a while. .
The donkey came roaring from a distance and stopped beside the viewer.
It has been running around the Wushi Ridge these days to practice, at least two hours a day, and the effect is obvious. It smells the smell of alcohol all over the body of the temple master, and it is dissatisfied: "Master, you are not interesting enough. You drink secretly and don't call me. We still can't Are you a comrade? It hurts your feelings."
Hearing that this guy raised his drinking level to the level of a fellow, Zhang Wenfeng couldn't laugh or cry, and cursed: "You are worried about your appetite every day, and if you don't think about something useful, how about I use illusion to test your character again? If you pass, I will Your treatment of one jar of wine every three days will be increased to three jars of wine a day, allowing you to drink from morning to night."
The donkey hurriedly jumped several feet away, waving its head wildly and shouting: "I'm joking, Master, don't take it seriously. I've been working hard these days, and I haven't slacked off a day. My mood has improved again. Let's go, I'm going for a run."
It would rather maintain the treatment of drinking a jar of wine for three days than to be tricked by the viewer.
It's not that it's dangerous, it's too embarrassing.
"Come back, I haven't finished talking yet, why are you running away?"
Zhang Wenfeng called the donkey back and looked around, "I have learned a new spell. Let me try it with you..."
Valley
The donkey suddenly jumped out ten feet away, like a frightened bird, its ears stood straight up, ready to run away at any moment, shouting: "Master, go try it with Yun Qiuhe. She is highly cultivated and thick-skinned. I really can't bear it..."
"Come back. There is no danger in this trial. I have learned a new stealth technique. You can help me find flaws."
Zhang Wenfeng stopped the donkey again.
This guy is really mean-spirited and has repeatedly tried to convince Yun Qiuhe that Yun Qiuhe is thick-skinned, but he still can't stop it and won't be able to hold it back.
Donkey heard that it was a concealment technique, and immediately became interested. He came closer and urged: "Hide quickly and let me see what's special. If you tell me earlier, I will worry that you will trick me again."
Zhang Wenfeng doesn't care about this guy's outspoken words. He doesn't seem to have cheated a donkey a few times, right?
He walked three miles further south with the donkey, and after telling the donkey to stand still and not look back, he walked behind a bush on the right fifteen feet away, squatted down, and absorbed the wood energy from the trees on the side to cover himself. Soon, he felt that his aura was not leaking out at all, and was surrounded by a faint green, making his figure almost blend into the surrounding green.
After ten breaths, the donkey released his demon consciousness and searched carefully around him.
The donkey gave a startled cry and couldn't find the figure of the viewer. He searched for it three times before he found the clue and shouted: "This is a wonderful hiding method. If you hide in a tree hole or hide in a pit and cover it with branches and leaves, you will be close." It’s hard to detect it with your demonic sense right in front of you.”
Turning around, he used the demon eye technique to search carefully again, and said: "It should be better at night. You can see it with your eyes during the day. The demon sense mainly distinguishes Qi, and the eyes see the form."
"It still needs to be perfected. This concealment technique can be of great use in the woods..."
Zhang Wenfeng returned the wood energy to the trees. He stood up and smiled and suddenly stopped talking. He noticed that the Dharma plate in his arms was abnormal. He paused slightly and reached out to take out the small dark blue plate that he had never known the use of.
Donkey's mind was quick and he said: "Master, can you try that hidden wood energy on me?"
It saw that the viewer was able to hide from the demonic consciousness because of the light green wood energy covering the body. It was very interested in suggesting that it was interested in anything that could enhance a sense of security.
Zhang Wenfeng looked at the size of the donkey and said: "You are too big and take up a lot of space. It may not be effective if you consume several times the wood energy. I will try it with Yun Qiuhe first. I will try it on you after I get familiar with it."
With a wave of his hand, the donkey that had been thrown away immediately disappeared.
He rubbed the Dharma plate in his hand and looked thoughtful.
The donkey muttered, "Use the donkey to face forward, don't use the donkey to face backward." With his fists and his tail waving, he ran very fast, not daring to disturb the viewer and thinking of some deceptive or bad idea.
Zhang Wenfeng squatted down on the spot. He had just noticed that the Dharma plate in his arms was emitting a very faint light in circles. He could only see a tail. He didn't know what caused the movement of the Dharma plate.
However, it is a good thing if there are new changes in the Dharma plate. I am afraid that it will be in vain if it remains in a pool of stagnant water.
After thinking for a long time and coming up with no idea, he put the Dharma Plate back into his arms, stretched out his hand to absorb the wood energy from another small tree nearby, slowly used the concealment technique he had learned, and observed the changes in the Dharma Plate with his spiritual consciousness.
As the wood energy enveloped his entire body, traces of light green wood energy came into contact with the Dharma Disk, and the dark cyan Dharma Disk slowly glowed with inconspicuous circles of dim luster.
Zhang Wenfeng suddenly woke up and hurriedly took out the Dharma plate and poured more light green wood energy into the plate.
Seeing the increasingly obvious changes, a smile appeared on his lips. He had finally found a way to use the wooden magic disk left by his master.
Through different attempts, we came to the conclusion that this Dharma plate needs to be nourished by wood energy.
Whether it was the wood energy absorbed from the trees or the wood energy he transformed with Yuan Qi, it was all needed. The bottomless pit consumed 20% of his Yuan Qi. After ten trees were used to absorb it, it was not fully fed, and it was still only slightly shiny.
He doesn't do anything to catch all the water, and only extracts a small part of the wood energy from each tree.
He was so busy that it was almost dark, so he put away the Dharma plate that was still full of desire and dissatisfaction, and walked back to the Basilin Ridge stronghold.
There will be plenty of time later to replenish and perfect the energy of the Dharma plate.
Let's see what kind of surprise this magic weapon that has absorbed so much wood energy can give him.
