Two veterans, Lao Huang and Lao Hong, stood aside, with smiles in their eyes as if they were watching a joke.
Sure enough, when Cao Zhe accepted the three swords, the Mingjiao disciples did not get up. Fan Song still said on his behalf: "Zhenren Zhang! We are willing to serve under Zhenzhen Zhang's disciples, manage the Western Regions for Zhenren Zhang, and guard one side. If Master Zhang gives orders in the future, we will all follow him to the death."
When Cao Zhe heard this, his face was expressionless, and then he said to Hong Qigong: "Junior brother Hong! You have rich experience in the world. Please translate for me. What does he mean by this?"
Hong Qigong said: "Isn't this simple? Borrow your name, use your banner, and then recruit soldiers and horses in the Western Region to expand your power. You are so powerful as Zhang Zhenren, how can you really cause any trouble? You need them who are far away Can the men and horses from the Western Regions do their best?"
"If I send someone to bring you some local specialties during the holidays, it would be considered as a way of honoring you."
In fact, Hong Qigong is also very familiar with this routine.
The Beggars Gang was once divided into two factions: the Dirty Clothes faction and the Clean Clothes faction. The Clean Clothes faction was composed of a series of gray chains such as caravans, escort agencies, private salt dealers, private horse dealers, etc. that were attached to the Beggar Gang. They are beggars and inappropriate.
The main reason is that those who want to get into the world and take advantage of others need to use the information network of the Beggar Clan and the deterrent power of the world to facilitate their actions.
The Beggar Gang is also very simple. It needs the money provided by this group of people to support the core disciples and senior leaders of the gang.
Therefore, Hong Qigong had a lot of experience with similar dependence when he was the leader of the gang.
Cao Zhe didn't speak anymore, but his attitude was already obvious.
He has no interest in Mingjiao.
Fan Song hit his head hard on the floor, causing the stone slab to crack.
"Master Zhang! If we are willing to die, we can also believe in Taoist ancestors and worship Sanqing."
"Master Zhang... please have mercy and rescue us! The Mingjiao has suffered heavy losses and its vitality has been severely damaged. Without you to shock Xiao Xiao, the century-old inheritance of the Mingjiao will be cut off..."
Fan Song's tone became more and more mournful, as if every word was crying out for blood.
Cao Zhe said indifferently: "Just cut it off! What does it have to do with me?"
"Why are you here to disturb my Taoist practice with your worldly affairs?"
After saying that, he walked away directly, completely ignoring the changing expressions of the Mingjiao disciples behind him.
After waiting for Guangmingding, two of the three people in the group looked at the person in the middle.
Hong Qigong directly rubbed his hands and said: "Brother, head master! Look... when you go back this time, can you work harder to carry the two of us back?"
Although Huang Yaoshi didn't speak, his eyes already expressed the corresponding desire.
Although their souls in their bones come from modern society, it cannot be said that they have never flown in the sky. After all, they have also flown in airplanes.
But the feeling of flying on a plane and flying directly into the clouds are still different.
Nowadays, among the Wudang Inner Sect, the disciples who are qualified to practice first-class martial arts have almost all majored in or taken the lower-level martial arts of Taiyun Shou. The purpose is to one day be like Cao Zhe, push the clouds and climb into the sky, and experience a It feels like flying through the clouds and riding the mist, thousands of miles a day.
Facing two pairs of expectant eyes, Cao Zhe said: "There is no rush to go back, we have to stay in Kunlun Mountain for a few more days."
"The natural Yuan Gathering Formation in Kunlun Mountain has not yet been fully formed. I need to spend some time to find the core of the formation and see if there are any useful treasures in it."
Huang and Hong both looked interested at the same time.
The 'treasure' that Cao Zhe can recognize is absolutely extraordinary.
"That being the case, if there is anything we and I can do, just give me your instructions, headmaster." Hong Qigong said immediately.
Huang Yaoshi, who was robbed of another opportunity to chat, looked a little depressed.
It was obviously him who defected first, but why does it feel like Hong Qigong and Zhenren Zhang are closer now?
"The same goes for me!" Huang Yaoshi added dryly to express his position.
Lao Huang is still too conservative!
If you have the leisure, wouldn't it be better to ask your daughter about your plans?
When Cao Zhe heard this, he smiled and said: "There is no need to bother the two junior brothers, I have already found the poor man!"
Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong were stunned at the same time.
This... didn't you just say that you need to stay for a few days?
Is this a casual comment about relationships just for fun?
As if he could see their thoughts from the expressions of the two people, Cao Zhe said politely: "The small means of a poor person are not worth mentioning. You always need to be a little more humble."
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and robes, and pulled the two of them up into the clouds, flying straight towards a cliff in the Kunlun Mountains.
The cliff looks steep, but actually it contains mysteries.
Under the waterfall, there is a deep rift valley.
There is actually sunlight shining in the rift valley.
In the mist, the rift valley is full of beautiful peaches, and monkeys are jumping happily in it.
There are strange flowers and herbs everywhere, and Huang Yaoshi has recognized several of them one after another. The good medicine that he couldn't find at first is the main ingredient used to refine the Impermanence Pill.
Hong Qigong stood at the mouth of the rift valley, sniffing and showing a look of joy.
"Sure enough, there is monkey wine, and there are many spiritual flowers and exotic fruits here. The monkey wine brewed is also very delicious. We are in a good mood!" The old beggar was so happy that his saliva almost came out.
Cao Zhe's eyes kept moving in the rift valley.
Finally, he settled on a white-haired ape and a dwarf peach tree with small green peaches.
"They are actually twin spiritual beings."
"This white ape is born with strong bones, strong aura, and extraordinary intelligence. It is far superior to its kind, and it has a vague attitude of becoming a spirit. And this short peach tree is actually at the core of the formation, which is the center of Kunlun Mountain thousands of miles away. The most critical thing about the innate formation is that the spiritual peaches produced are probably no longer ordinary and may have other strange uses." Cao Zhe thought to himself.
Enter the valley.
Hong and Huang went to collect medicine and steal wine respectively.
Cao Zhe walked alone to the short peach tree and reached out to touch the small green peach.
But he saw the little white ape holding a wooden stick and hitting Cao Zhe's wrist directly.
"Huh!"
"Unexpectedly, he is self-taught and knows a few sword techniques. This time he points directly at my three acupoints of Yangchi, Hegu, and Sanjian. Is it a coincidence...or is it natural?" Cao Zhe thought to himself.
But he flipped it casually and snatched the wooden stick from the little white ape's hand.
The other hand has already fallen on the jade-like peach.
"It feels like wood but not wood, like jade but not jade. There is a strong vitality inside, but it is not complete and needs a long time to grow." Cao Zhe tried to sense its rhizomes with true energy.
I found that the root system of this small peach tree was extremely developed and strong. It was rooted deep in the ground and spread in all directions.
Not to mention that it is the formation eye of the innate formation.
Even if it wasn't, getting a transplant would be nearly impossible.
"It seems that we can only leave it in this rift valley for the time being, and wait for some time to pick the fruits again." Cao Zhe thought to himself.
Then he looked at the little white-haired ape.
Take a closer look at this little ape. He has white hair all over his body, almost silvery white, without a single stray hair. His cheeks are red, and his eyes are dark and psychic.
The tail behind it is slender and curled, like a hook, and is waving constantly.
At this time, it was chirping in response to Cao Zhe's grinning demonstration.
Many apes that were playing around gathered around when they heard its call.
