Taoist Dongsun always remembers how down and out he was in Langshan, how impoverished he was, and how he was bullied by others. He even remembers how he met Wu Sheng. Just when he thought that life was already like this, he only needed to eat and drink. When he was waiting to die, Wu Sheng gave him his first business, asking him to use his expertise to refine a batch of fake lightning strike wood. From that moment on, his life was different.
From being able to have a full stomach, buy new clothes to wear, to having money to find women, to becoming shopkeeper Dong, the husband of Nuoxi Village, and now the No. 1 tyrant of Xiuyun Mountain, his cultivation has also changed from the most ordinary Qi refining After growing up to the peak of senior Qi refining, he has experienced ups and downs and endured many hardships.
As people get older, their memory gets better and better. Many past events are remembered more and more clearly, especially on Xinglong Mountain. He was so scared that he did not dare to escape. It was Wu Sheng who carried him to escape regardless of the danger. That scene, It still lingers in my dreams.
He watched Wu Sheng grow up, watched Wu Sheng grow from an inconspicuous little monk to a wanted fugitive in the academy, then successfully became a doctor, and suddenly became a world-famous repeat criminal, until he completed the incredible and magnificent task. He turned around and became the dominant leader in the Southern Chu cultivation world. All of this showed how wise it was to follow Wu Sheng.
At this point, he never made a wrong step, so Wu Sheng's request was his mission.
It is not difficult to find a demon cultivator in the wilderness. What is difficult is to find a demon cultivator who happens to appear in Chengyang without letting him know why. This is very troublesome.
It is true that Master Dongsun does not know the demon cultivator, but that does not mean that he has no way. There is a way in front of him, but how to do it requires careful consideration.
After careful consideration, Master Dongsun left Nuoxi Village and set off south. He took six capable subordinates from Nuoxi Village with him, all of whom were tribal masters who often traveled to the wilderness to ensure that he was safe in that dangerous area. .
Of course, no one can guarantee safety in the wilderness. When they arrived at the foot of the Skull Mountain, Master Dongzhan was exhausted. Three of the six tribesmen he brought with him were seriously injured.
Skull Mountain is a group of mountains with no less than a hundred large and small mountains. When viewed from the air, this group of mountains has a strange shape. There are few trees in the mountains. The tops of the mountains are all made of diamond rocks. There are many hollow caves in the rocks, which look like skulls. They are stacked and look like human skulls, horse skulls, snake skulls, cow skulls, tiger skulls, bird skulls, and so on.
The place where Master Dongsun arrived was just on the outer hilltop of Skull Mountain, where some demonic cultivators had formed a stronghold to practice—it was also this group of demonic cultivators who had been facing off against Zhufeng Mountain all year round.
The place where they stood was relatively conspicuous. After looking towards the mountain for a moment, they felt a sense of darkness coming over them, and someone appeared in front of them. This man was wrapped in a tattered linen garment with a hood on it, covering his entire head. There was also a face scarf on his face, with only his two eyes exposed.
Master Dongzhan has been in Baiyue for a long time, and he knows that this is the daily dress of many demon cultivators. It is not for some sense of mystery, but is related to their skills - some are because they cannot be exposed to the sun. , some of them have mutilated appearance due to the exercises, and even worse, they have really made themselves look like skeletons and cannot be shown to others in person.
"Who are you? Why are you spying on my Skull Mountain?" The voice was a little broken, like a leaky drum, and it sounded indescribably uncomfortable.
Master Dongsun replied: "I am the shopkeeper of Yongrentang. My surname is Dong. I came here to search for Wei. I defected to Guishan three years ago..."
"The big thief Wei Fushen? What do you want from him?"
"He owed me a favor, and I'm here to ask for it."
"Stay here and don't wander around, otherwise you will lose your life. Don't be surprised."
"Understood, dare to ask..."
Before asking, the other party had already drifted away. Not long after he walked, the person suddenly disappeared. I don’t know what happened. Master Dongsun couldn’t help being frightened: "It is indeed an evil heretic..."
After waiting for who knows how long, Master Dongzhan can no longer wait. In the past two years, he has been living in Qi and cultivating his body. Most of the time, others are waiting for him. He rarely waits for others, let alone still waits. After such a long time, I couldn't help but feel a little irritated. I took a few steps, a dozen steps, or dozens of steps forward. The subordinates behind me shouted anxiously: "Shopkeeper, don't go any further!"
Master Dongzhan ignored him. At the same time, he was unhappy because his subordinates were timid and fearful. He said to himself, "Let's see who dares to follow you. It will be your own benefit to go back."
When he was about to move forward to the foot of the mountain to test the courage of his men, he suddenly stopped.
He knew how the demonic cultivator disappeared just now. Not far ahead, there were dark caves exuding a sinister wind and a vague smell of blood. There was a slight whine, and it sounded like a human being or an animal howling miserably, which made people feel numb.
The demon cultivator fell from one of these caves. If it were him, he would never dare to imagine what would happen if he fell.
Looking at the Skull Mountain in the distance, Master Dongzhan returned to the original place. This area was beyond his knowledge. It was better not to make mistakes when it came to unclear things.
At dusk, a group of vultures flew into the sky, hovering above the Winter Bamboo Master and the others, staring at them. From somewhere in the forest, they heard the buzzing sound of the vultures, which made their hairs burst.
"Weird, don't wait any longer, let's go!" Master Dongzhan greeted and left.
"Dongsun, don't wait any longer?" Someone suddenly shouted not far away. As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared, it was Wei Fuchen.
Master Dongsun now knew that Wei Fushen must have emerged from the cave, so he was no longer surprised. He just said: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you hid down there and didn't come out. You really lack sincerity."
Wei Fushen said: "Dongzun, you came to me, I want to see your sincerity."
Master Dongsun snorted and said, "I am not afraid of hardships and dangers. I have traveled a long distance from Xiuyun Mountain to get here. Isn't my sincerity enough?"
Wei Fuden nodded: "It's true, but I don't know why you are so sincere and come to find me, the thief Wei Fuden?"
Master Dongzhan said, "Do you dare to save someone?"
Wei Fuchen asked: "Who?"
Master Dong Bamboo said: "The Great Golden Gu Witch."
Wei Fuchen frowned and said, "That great golden Gu witch from the Jiuzhen Department back then?"
Master Dongsun asked: "Do you know him?"
Wei Fushen said: "In the two years I have been in Skull Mountain, I have heard people mention it. It is said that cultivation is a good thing, but it disappeared a few years ago and I don't know where it went."
Master Dongsun sighed: "He was involved in the Jingyi baby theft case, and he has been arrested by the academy."
After hearing this, Wei Fuchen shook his head: "Abducted by the academy? Dongzun, asked me to go to the academy to save people. I'm sorry that I can't obey my orders."
Master Dongsun said: "The exact news is that he is not in the academy, but in the hands of Zheng Jianzi, who is traveling in the state of Zheng. Zheng Jianzi prepared to send him to Linzi, but because the Chu army besieged the city, he was delayed in Chengyang and never set off."
Wei Fuchen thought for a while, but still shook his head: "No, the risk is too great to walk with the school and grab people from your hands. Wei is a thief, not a bandit. There is no need to mention this matter again. Please take Dongsun back."
