"Oh, how is Fellow Daoist Lu's injury? Is there anything serious?"
During the conversation, Zhang Wenfeng learned that Lu Changyuan was unable to come to visit him because he was injured and needed to recuperate. Zhang Wenfeng asked urgently.
A trace of solemnity appeared on Gu Qingrong's face, and he said: "Before we returned, we encountered a group of evil spirits and ghosts sneak attack and siege. Lao Lu accidentally hit a crack in the void that suddenly appeared, and lost his legs at knee level. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. , It didn’t cause a big disaster. After spending some cultivation and resting for three or two years, it will return to normal. It’s not a big deal.” He said it lightly. The situation was quite critical at that time. There was a powerful guy lurking among the evil spirits, which caused them great harm. ***bother.
Shi Qisheng added: "We checked on Brother Lu, and he has no future problems such as being contaminated with demon souls."
Ever since the magic weapon monk caused a demonic catastrophe that almost destroyed the entire world, most of the monks who came in and out of the Water Moon Illusion Land, whether for themselves or for their sect, carried demon-detecting needles, as well as various amulets to protect demon souls. Magic weapon, don't give the devil an opportunity to take advantage of you.
A figure walked in at the door, from blur to clarity in the blink of an eye.
You Mengchang rushed back after receiving the summons. He greeted Shi Qisheng and Gu Qingrong who stood up and greeted him politely. He was so enthusiastic that they felt at home. It was completely different from the previous acrimony and cynicism. It seemed that with the fall of Sheng Congxian, the past relationship between Shi Qisheng and Shi Qisheng The knotted beams disappeared into thin air.
Zhang Wenfeng carefully asked the two people about the details of their exploration in Shuiyuehuan. There are many records of the Water Moon Fantasy in the collected books, but that happened hundreds of thousands of years ago. Maybe he will accompany other people in the sect to experience it in the future, and have the opportunity to learn more about it and be prepared.
Sheng Congxian's remnant soul was suspended in the palm of You Mengchang's hand. He listened to the conversation of the three people and used the secret soul technique to check the remnant soul. After a long time, he put the remnant soul together with the yellow jade formation bowl and the three-color jade tablet into his sleeve. He did not destroy it immediately. Let go of your remaining soul to vent your anger.
After chatting for more than an hour, when Shi Qisheng said goodbye, You Mengchang suggested that the two of them play a game of Gua chess.
Opponents are rare. Comparing skills and promoting each other's improvement are all kind words that are hard to refuse.
It was hard to reject the hospitality, so Shi Qisheng had no choice but to agree.
You Mengchang laughed and said: "Come on, let's use the mountain top as the chessboard and the soul threads as the chess pieces to play a big game of chess. It's been a long time since I've encountered a comparable opponent. I'm going to have a lot of fun today. Fellow Daoist Shi, please!"
Shi Qisheng looked slightly stunned, and he knew that the dream demon would not give up.
In this way, he has to fight with his warlock methods.
A thin old voice came to my ears: "I said that this dream demon is insidious and cunning and will not let it go. You just didn't listen to the old man's words and insisted on making this trip yourself, putting yourself in danger. Let’s see how you deal with it now?”
Shi Qisheng ignored the remnant soul of the weapon spirit who had caused trouble and was timid and irresponsible, and said with a smile: "Respect is worse than obeying orders, Mr. You, please!"
There are many ways to compete in divination chess between warlocks and divination masters. Using soul threads as chess pieces is undoubtedly one of the more dangerous fighting methods. The loser may even be in danger of having his soul seriously injured and his life in danger.
In fact, he was concerned about Zhang Guanzhu's power and connections, and was not at all afraid of this dream demon who had lived for an unknown period of time but whose current cultivation level was at the same level as him.
He had fulfilled his original agreement and the grudge was over. With Gu Qingrong accompanying him as the man in the act, he was also a little annoyed when the dream demon secretly set up a trap to force him to do it. Could he really be afraid of him? The clay figurine still has some anger.
The group came to a hilltop on the northeast edge.
The spring is cold and the mountain wind is blowing.
You Meng Chang swept away the rocks and trees on the mountain with a wave of his hand, and quickly arranged a nine-way criss-cross chessboard, covering an area of about a hundred feet. He stretched out his hand to invite, and he floated above the chessboard in the east and said: "Master, we are spending a lot of time playing Gua chess. For at least one day, you and fellow Taoist Gu will go drinking tea and chatting, and blowing in the wind on the mountain will be very boring."
Zhang Wenfeng saw Shi Qisheng across from him flying into the chessboard with a dull expression. He chuckled and said, "How can you play chess without having people watching? Mr. Gu and I have nothing to do. Let's watch you play chess and learn from it. Mr. You, you won't be afraid. Shall I learn your unique skills?"
As he spoke, he flew above the empty chessboard.
If you really want to learn from each other, don't stay in the fairyland. Let's make an appointment to go to the sea or a remote place.
In a life-and-death fight, he won't see it but won't say a word. Gu Qingrong laughed and flew close to Shi Qisheng. If the dream demon didn't give him face, then he would follow Guanzhu Zhang to stir up trouble. Let's see what other tricks Old Man You could come up with? Shi Qisheng smiled, cupped his hands towards the two of them, stretched out his hand and said, "As you please, fellow Taoist, please!"
You Mengchang said depressedly: "You two don't know Gua chess, why are you joining in the fun?"
What a stupid chess piece. He flicked it casually, and a white jade chess piece fell into a chess grid several feet wide on the ground. It looked out of place and looked awkward. Shi Qisheng then flicked a black chess piece away, and a close contest began.
Zhang Guanzhu and Gu Qingrong, two laymen who did not understand Gua chess, stood above the chessboard and watched the chess without saying a word. They almost fell asleep. When the sun went down, the chess game ended with no one knowing the outcome.
Gu Qingrong did not dare to let the two warlocks have more contact, so he politely declined Guanzhu Zhang's invitation to stay, and took Shi Qisheng to say goodbye.
Inviting Mr. You, who has been wandering around for many years, to the Xiangsui Hall, a maid brought him some fragrant tea. Zhang Wenfeng took a sip of tea and said, "Didn't you agree that Taoist friend Shi will kill Sheng Congxian, and the past grudges will be cleared up and no longer be held against each other?"
You Mengchang denied it and said: "Master, you have misunderstood me. How could I be such a villain who doesn't keep his word? I am eager to find out Shi Qisheng's background. The origin of that person is not simple."
Zhang Wenfeng smiled and said, "Did you find out anything?"
The word "disbelief" was clearly written in his eyes.
"With you disrupting the situation and not being able to play a hearty game, how can you find out? He has a great treasure on his body. I noticed something different, but unfortunately he restrained it quickly. It may be that he revealed it deliberately and wanted to I retreated when I saw the difficulty. Forget it, let's not talk about him. Master, do you want to travel to the Water Moon Fantasy Land?" You Mengchang changed the topic.
Zhang Wenfeng said: "If you don't go, that place is of little use to me. In a few days, I will go to the fire rock in the ground of Nanyuan Continent to replenish the energy of the fire in the Nine Stars Liuzhu. You must be prepared in your heart."
"Ground fire rock?"
You Mengchang frowned and said: "I have suffered a lot by going to that ghost place. The temperature of the earth's fire is extremely high and there is also weird fire poison. It's okay for you to sharpen your body. I have to refine two treasures in advance. Okay, before I leave. Say something to me." Zhang Wenfeng got up and saw off Mr. You who was nowhere to go, and the rest of the day returned to calm.
On the second day of the second lunar month, Zhang Wenfeng led a group of monks to the Xuanyun Temple for a banquet. He stayed for two days and returned with his wife on the third day, and resumed his small life of only admiring mandarin ducks but not immortals.
In the blink of an eye, spring passes and autumn comes again.
Yue Anyan, who had been in seclusion for six years, walked out of the bamboo hut halfway up Wangxia Ridge. She failed in her attempt to enter the Guiyi Realm.
After consuming countless precious resources, she could only smile bitterly.
Time is also destiny.
