The place where Zhang Yan and Dong Jinzi agreed to meet again was in the southwest of Donghuazhou, a boundary called Rotten Toad Mountain-1-

This place is in the border of Liang country, and then go west is the wild land, here is inaccessible, the fog locks the valley all the year round, everywhere in the deep mountains and Daze, snakes and pythons everywhere, poisonous insects, strange beasts, even the monks rarely come here.

After Zhang Yan drove the wind around a few times, he didn't want to go deeper, like such a poor mountain and bad water, maybe it was also a demon who escaped the world and lived in it, so he fell to the sun at the southern foot of this mountain, found a secluded valley, and opened a cave that could accommodate several people, and then shook his sleeves, and threw the beauty mushroom to the ground.

He took out a pair of tender green flying leaves from his sleeve bag, which was a messenger flying talisman given to him by Hibiscus, and with a flick of his fingers, one of the flying leaves turned into a blue light and flew away, and put the other green leaf on top of the beautiful mano, then turned around and stepped out of the cave, and with another wave of his sleeve, he threw out a few talismans and pasted them on the door of the cave.

After hastily arranging, he smiled faintly, refused to stay any longer, and flew away.

That day in Qingcun Mountain, he met Dong Jinzi as Li Yuanba, and now he didn't want to let the other party know his identity, so he didn't want to see each other, so he simply left this Zhizu body here, waiting for Dong Jinzi to pick it up himself.

And this person is still a Demon Sect monk, and the reason why he was willing to lower his stature to negotiate conditions with him before was because that doppelganger cultivation was the same as him, so he had to make concessions. And now that he is in the outside world, he has no scruples, and it is not uncommon to turn his face and make a move, Zhang Yan has to be on guard.

Even if this person is not hostile to him, he does not want to have anything to do with him, you need to know that cultivation is not equal, and everything you say is in vain.

He walked for about half an hour, there was a hazy blue light passing through the sky, all the way over, the pine waves surged, the green leaves flew, a woman in green clothes with jade face and red lips, smoke and mist sideburns came across the air, and fell in front of the door of the cave, she swept her phoenix eyes, but she didn't see half a figure, she couldn't help sneering, and said: "This junior is running fast." ”

She waved her water sleeves, easily went to a few talismans, and then entered the cave, raised her eyes and saw that Nazhizu's body was standing in front of her, and couldn't help but be happy on her face, and said to herself: "This junior still keeps his promise." ”

She said coldly again: "He Mulong, Qing Yao, the two of you dare to calculate to this seat, you wait, when this seat is free of calamity and the deeds are completed, you will definitely kill Zizhu Mountain, so that you will not be able to wait for peace!"

After Zhang Yan left the Rotten Toad Mountain, he did not fly away from the clouds, but landed in a state and county in Liang State, bought a boat on the ferry, and drifted down the river all the way.

He deliberately slowed down his itinerary on this trip, toured the landscapes of the southern country during the day, and practiced the Dharma at night, but he was also at ease.

Two months later, the ship arrived at the city of Linzhou in Kangcheng County, he looked out, Ju Rongshan was already impressive, smiled lightly, tread the water and left, not long after, sensed the place where the Zhuyuan Ying Star Array Flag was located, then the smoke rose, divided the waves, and dived to the underwater cave.

Zhang Pan was sitting in the cave to comprehend the Taoism, and suddenly felt the change of formation, as if someone was entering the cave without stagnation, not surprised, three steps and two steps to meet out, as soon as he looked up, he saw Zhang Yan standing in the air with his feet on the flying smoke, and suddenly he was excited, stepped forward to bow down, and said: "The old man has really turned around!"

Zhang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Get up." He swept his eyes again and said, "Where is my vain?"

Zhang Pan replied honestly: "I am practicing in the middle of the river." ”

At this time, Mrs. Chen also heard the movement here, stepped out from the depths of the cave, saw Zhang Yan, and also showed a look of surprise, and said happily: "It turns out that Zhang Daochang is back, and so is Kun'er, who is not good at cultivating, and plays in the water all day long, so the slave family called him over." ..., Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Mrs. Chen, don't be in a hurry, don't disturb when you are doing your work, and when he finishes his work, it's not too late to come out and see each other again." ”

Mrs. Chen's words also implied temptation, because she saw Tian Kun practicing in the water every day, she always felt strange in her heart, not because she suspected that the exercises were wrong, but because she was afraid that this child would grope for himself and practice a fork in the road.

This master and apprentice teach each other, there is a set of rules and taboos, although she is a mother, it is not easy to ask questions, but after all, there is some unconfidence in her heart, at this moment, listening to Zhang Yan himself, if it is really a serious cultivation path, she will also feel at ease.

Zhang Yan talked with her for a while, and after a while, she saw the water rippling outside the cave, and Tian Kun walked out with his upper body.

He was now an eight-year-old child, but he was as tall as a boy of thirteen or fourteen, and above his shoulders sat a boy the size of a palm, with whom he was very affectionate.

After he entered, he suddenly saw Zhang Yan, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, and said in fear: "I don't know that the teacher has arrived, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”

Zhang Yan said, "Kun'er, get up," glanced at the little boy again, and said with a smile: "How about this little companion that the teacher found for you?"

Tian Kun looked at Na Zhitong and replied, "Xiao Er is very good. ”

"Little Er?" Zhang Yan couldn't help laughing, the name was straightforward, and nodded: "It's good if you like it." ”

Among the many pills he left that day, there was a bottle containing this Zhitong, he also saw that this apprentice had no playmates since he was a child, and he was afraid that he would become withdrawn, so he left this Zhitong, and this Zhitong's body is a Zhizhi, a pure aura, which is of great benefit to Tian Kun's cultivation.

At the beginning, I was worried that this Zhi Tong was playful and refused to stay here for a long time, but now it seems that the two are quite compatible.

Zhang Yan turned his head and said to Mrs. Chen: "Mrs. Chen, today I will take away your child and go back to the mountain gate." ”

Mrs. Chen's eyes first flashed with a hint of joy, and then there was a strong reluctance in her heart, she bit her lower lip and forced a smile: "Daoist Hongen, this child worships under your door, it is his blessing, if there is anything disobedient, Daoist can only scold." ”

At this moment, Tian Kun suddenly said loudly: "Teacher, I don't want to go." ”

Before Zhang Yan could speak, Mrs. Chen's face changed, Huo Ran stood up, pointed at Tian Kun's nose, and said in a trembling voice: "Son, what do you say, do you dare to say a word again? Do you know what a rare immortal fate this is, you, are you going to be angry to death?"

Tian Kun scolded his mother and knelt on the ground, his face flushed, but he didn't refute half a sentence.

Zhang Yan's expression remained unchanged and said, "Then let me ask you, why don't you want to?"

Tian Kun raised his head and said loudly: "I also asked Xiao Er, if the apprentice goes to cultivate with his teacher, he must have been gone for tens or hundreds of years, and if the apprentice is gone, who will take care of his mother?"

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she looked at her child in a daze, her eyes suddenly turned red, she stepped forward and took Tian Kun in her arms, and whimpered: "Good child, you can think of your mother, your mother is also content, you are obedient, go to follow the immortal cultivator, and live forever in the future, no longer fetters of red dust, and the suffering of hard work is the greatest filial piety to your mother." ”

Tian Kun didn't say a word, his expression was quite stubborn, and Na Zhitong's little face was confused, and he looked back and forth with wide black eyes.

Zhang Yan showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes, nodded and said: "Kun'er is right, your aunt endured the pain of pregnancy in October, and pulled you up with hard work, mother's kindness is greater than the sky, you must repay it, although my generation is a cultivator, but it is not a broken desire, disregarding human ethics, I will not let you suffer from the separation of mother and son." ”

After a pause, he said to Mrs. Chen: "Mrs. Chen, your child enters my door, you can also follow me back to the mountain gate, I don't know if you are willing?", "The slave family can also go to the fairy gate?" Mrs. Chen was a little incredulous, she was separated from her own child, although she knew that she was going to visit the fairy to seek the Tao, but the mother and son finally connected hearts, and there was always some reluctance.

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "There are nine big cities in my Mingcang sect, with a population of one million, and many of them are relatives and friends of the disciples in the sect, Tian Kun is my Zhang Yan's apprentice, and my wife can come with him." ”

Although there are tens of thousands of worldly people in Donghuazhou, there is no one in a thousand who are qualified cultivators, and the nine cities in the Mingcang sect, the people who live in them are nourished by the aura day and night, but their qualifications are far better than those of ordinary people, and the disciples selected by the master and apprentice are mostly selected from the nine cities.

"Mrs. Chen, let's stay here for a few days first, Poor Dao will still keep Zhang Pan here, so I can take care of it, and after returning to the turnstile door and settling Kun'er, I will send someone to pick you up.

Mrs. Chen was also excited, and she was busy with a blessing salute and said, "The slave family thanked the aisleman." ”

She pulled Tian Kun over again and scolded: "Kun'er, your master treats my family with deep kindness, if you deceive the teacher and destroy your ancestors in the future, you will not be my child!"

Tian Kun saw that his mother was so fierce, and he knelt on the ground again, and Nuo Nuo responded.

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Apprentice, let's go with the teacher today." With a wave of his robe, he and Tian Kun were wrapped in a gust of wind and floated out of the cave.

Tian Kun only felt a flower in front of him, and when he looked again, he found that he had landed on a long white cloud, but when he saw the vast land below, the vast wilderness, the water was like white practice, and countless mountains were undulating, he was not afraid, but curiously touched left and right, reached out and grabbed a cloud of smoke, but slipped away from between his fingers, it was obviously an invisible thing, but it couldn't fall.

Zhang Yan smiled slightly and said, "The apprentice is sitting firm." "Urge the magic trick and fly north to the clouds.

His trip was not to turn back to the mountain gate directly, but to fly to a place called Lone Leak Mountain without hurrying.

This is the place where Shi Gong lived, and he promised to bring his nephew into the Xuanmen that day, and he would not break his promise.

Five days later, he swept his gaze and saw that the mountain shape here was consistent with what Shi Gong said, so he pressed the cloud head, and in order to avoid shocking the world, the two fell into a dense forest.

He led Tian Kun out of the forest, and saw a village not far away, in front of him was a piece of farmland, the sky was longitudinal, there was a burst of dirt smell, and a few children were playing on the ridge, chasing birds.

There are very few outsiders in the countryside here, and when they saw Zhang Yan and the others coming, they all came forward to watch curiously, and the children were waving branches and chasing him all the way to jump happily.

Zhang Yan didn't care, children are simple-minded and innocent, and when they grow up, they will have to run for their livelihood, so they won't be so carefree.

After walking a short distance, I saw a lot of people coming out of the village, and the leader was an old man who seemed to be a squire, trembling forward with a cane, and said with an excited expression: "But the Taoist chief of the Mai Palace?
