Zhu Yuanyu put the body that the mountain god gave him into Jade Perry. Although it is not yet known what its use is, there must be no harm.
"After a long night of tossing, it's already dawn..."
The two walked out of the gate of the mountain temple and were about to leave, but Zhu Yuanyu remembered the hole of the old locust tree.
After all, it is the place where the mountain god has been. If you ignore it, you don't know what will happen in the future.
"Qi Ao, help me over."
Because trapping the second spiritual intelligence took Zhu Yuanyu a lot of energy, he was now very weak. If it weren't for Qi Ao's support, he wouldn't be able to stand up at all. Later, he returned all the borrowed energy back to the woods, and now not even the dregs of the spiritual power in his body were left.
Qi Ao grabbed the hand on his shoulder with one hand, wrapped the other hand around the young man's waist, and walked slowly in the direction.
It smells so good. What kind of fragrance did the young master put on it? It smells very good, a bit like the fragrance last night. Qi Ao sniffed gently and found that it was a faint fragrance emanating from the young man next to him. He looked so intoxicated that even his pace slowed down.
In fact, this was just the fresh air that remained on Zhu Yuanyu's body, and it would dissipate automatically in a short time. However, he himself did not notice the fresh fragrance.
The flowers of the locust tree are in bloom, hanging on the branches like bunches of white grapes. Occasionally, the wind blows, and small white flowers are blown to the ground.
Zhu Yuanyu's eyes swept across the locust trees scattered on the ground, and said softly: "The locust trees bloom in June and July, but they bloom early..."
But no, it is only the end of March, and there are still two months left before June...
The small white flowers on the branches are like a life in full bloom, blooming to its final splendor.
Maybe this is the last bloom of the old locust tree - Zhu Yuanyu glanced at it with regret and thought silently.
"Master, do you like Sophora japonica?"
Seeing the young man watching quietly, Qi Ao suddenly asked.
"No. It's just a pity..."
"Master, what's the pity for?"
"It's a pity... I'm afraid I'll never see this scene again..."
After speaking, Zhu Yuanyu motioned to Qi Ao to help him to a distance of less than one meter from the tree hole.
After looking at it, Zhu Yuanyu said: "When I came here, I remembered that I saw some relatively large stones on the road. I walked along the loop for about two hundred meters. Go and bring me a piece of the right size. I want to bring it back." The tree hole is blocked.”
Qi Ao glanced at the tree hole, made a mental comparison, nodded and said, "My subordinate will go right away, but..." He looked at Zhu Yuanyu with some worry.
"I'll sit here and wait for you. Come back quickly."
Zhu Yuanyu used his strength to sit down slowly, without worrying about whether he would stain his clothes, and leaned against the trunk of the old locust tree.
Qi Ao put his sword on the ground and went to get the stone.
Sure enough, as Zhu Yuanyu said, there are scattered stones on the roadside of Laishan Temple, of different sizes. They don't look like they exist naturally, but they look like they were placed by someone on the roadside. Not long after, a few weeds emerged from the gaps between the rocks and the earth, and their vitality was quite tenacious.
Qi Ao thought about the size of the tree hole in his mind, looked around with his eyes, and finally found a suitable piece for him, but there was a slightly protruding corner on the edge, which needed to be polished off before it could be put into the tree hole.
After carrying the stone back to the mountain temple, Zhu Yuanyu asked him to stuff it into a tree hole.
Unexpectedly, the mountain god and the second spiritual intelligence no longer existed. The seal in the tree hole still had magic power, and Zhu Yuanyu and Qi Ao were sucked in at once.
…
The Taoist priest fled back to his residence in the town and soon came to his senses.
He had been hanging out in the town for a long time and had never seen the young man from a wealthy family. Everyone usually fawned over him when they asked for help. He was certain that this was the first time he saw that young man.
The young man's clothes look very simple and elegant, but who is he? He has a sharp eye. He can tell at a glance that the material of the clothes is high-quality. How can ordinary people afford it, let alone some rich people? Can't buy it either.
Although the contact time was short, it was enough for him to remember the young man's appearance.
It's true that he is a liar, but he still has some skills in facial recognition - one look at the young man's face shows that he was born into a wealthy family, his skin is tender and tender, he must have not suffered much, and his body is full of momentum. All this is enough to prove it. His family background is unusual.
There happened to be no such person in the small town, so the young man was said to be from other places.
Thinking that he was just a passer-by, the Taoist priest couldn't help but smile. As for the other people, he didn't pay attention to them.
With his influence in the small town, who would believe the words of an outsider and a few poor people?
"Why don't you take this opportunity to spread the word? Pindao can even tame zombies, so what else can't he do?"
The Taoist priest smiled sinisterly, and suddenly remembered the strange disease in the town, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"This is something that can be exploited. What about the strange disease that others don't know about, but poor Taoists don't understand? You can tell at a glance that it is an invasion of evil energy. It is not contagious at all. It's just that you can't survive if you are infected. Since you can't survive, you can't survive. It's better to let Pindao make good use of it than die in vain..."
Having made up his mind, the Taoist priest rushed to Gao Daniu's cousin's house regardless of the darkness. He thought that he should find a few people to promote him well so as to strengthen his reputation.
The couple learned that the immortal master was coming to see them. Although they were a little apprehensive, they still invited him in with smiles on their faces.
Hearing that they could use zombies to make a fuss and make a profit, the couple agreed without hesitation. They were afraid that the answer would be too late and there would be no such store in the village. They also said that they could provide some manpower and material resources.
The Taoist priest was very satisfied with the couple's knowledge, and the expression on his face suddenly softened a lot.
Seeing that the immortal master's face was not so inhumane and condescending, Gao Daniu's cousin also breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel happy.
After the immortal master left, his wife couldn't help but said to him with a look of joy on her face: "I didn't expect that the immortal master can even cure that strange disease. Now we don't have to worry about it, the master is right beside us!"
The cousin snorted angrily, thinking that the woman beside him dared to abandon him and run away alone, and the anger in his heart suddenly ignited, but he endured it, feeling that now was not the time to break up.
"You woman knows nothing! Go and cook! Do you want me to starve to death?"
The cousin's smile froze, and she shut her mouth in a sullen voice. She thought it was not like there was no cook at home, so would she be needed to cook? After all, it was because of his bad intentions. It was normal for the other party to hold grudges for what he had done. He just hoped that he would forget about it as time went by, so he went to the kitchen lazily.
My cousin took a look at that fat pig-like figure and felt a little nauseous. He must have lost his mind before sleeping on the same kang with such a person. The widow next door had hooked up with him several times, intentionally or unintentionally. It was time to respond, lest he It breaks people's hearts.
Thinking of how many times he had seen the widow, she was skinny as she should be, fleshy as she should be, and not very pleasant to hold. My cousin suddenly became short of breath and his eyes gleamed.
The Taoist priest spent a day inciting the townspeople, but they were also frightened by the strange disease. No matter whether it was true or false, everyone did not recognize it and blindly believed in the Taoist priest's lies.
Coupled with Gao Daniu's cousin's boasting and exaggerated description of how the Taoist priests conquered zombies, many people believed it.
As soon as the zombies appeared, the people who ran away immediately spread the news in the town, so anyone walking on the street would know that the latest gossip content is - Uncle Tall Niu has turned into a zombie.
At first, people were worried that it would harm their families. Unexpectedly, the zombies were subdued in a blink of an eye, and they turned out to be powerful immortal masters.
So it didn't take much effort for the Taoist priest to win over people's hearts easily, and he began to announce——
Bring people with strange illnesses to his home, and he will heal them!
There is no way a Taoist priest can heal, but he is just lying. Once he has collected a lot of money, he will move his position. Even if he is discovered, no one can do anything to him.
However, he will try to see if he can cure it. If he does cure it, the benefits will be even greater. He can justifiably stay, build his own Taoist temple, and be respected by others.
No one discovered the Taoist priest's lies, and some people even offered to bring people to help bring people with strange diseases.
The Taoist priest saw that it was a man with a sinister appearance. Although he looked wretched, what he said was very much what he wanted, so he gave the man an encouraging look, stroked his beard and agreed.
The man seemed to have been greatly praised, and the smile on his face was distorted. He quickly led a few men and women to follow him arrogantly.
…
Zhu Yuanyu finally got himself and Qi Ao out of the tree hole, and another day had passed.
It was also because of his carelessness that he fell into the trap. Although the power of the seal was weakened a lot, it still took some time to resolve.
"Master, I will carry you back."
Qi Ao knelt down with his back to the young man, his face a little nervous.
The wait didn't take long, but he felt that it had been a long time. He thought the young man was unwilling, so he immediately wanted to stand up in frustration, and then someone pressed him up from behind, weighing him down, and there was a faint fragrance.
"Then it's all your fault."
The person behind said calmly.
Qi Ao immediately laughed, his eyes curved and looking very gentle.
Putting his hands through the legs of the person behind him, Qi Ao firmly carried the young man on his back and walked steadily step by step.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to pick up the sword on the ground, but it was strange that no one picked up the sword.
Zhu Yuanyu looked back at the old locust tree behind him. The locust flowers on the branches had withered, leaving only green leaves on the tree. The ground seemed to be covered with a layer of snowflakes, which would eventually disappear into the soil.
Qi Ao carried Zhu Yuanyu on his back and walked back to Gao's house. Before he arrived at Chaimen of Gao's house, he saw people he knew and strangers arguing about something in the front yard.
Li Zhuangzhuang's sharp eyes immediately discovered the young master who had disappeared for a day and two nights.
He ran over happily and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Master! You are back!"
Then everyone in the front yard turned their eyes, and Gao Daniu said with surprise: "Brother Zhu, where have you been? Everyone is worried about you!"
Zhu Yuanyu was stunned, why did he say it as if he had disappeared? We haven't seen each other all night. Is this worthy of such joy?
