"Bang, bang—"
"Ji Sanren, Brother Ji ......"
In the courtyard of the Yingxian Inn, there was a noisy crowd, and then there was a knock on the door and the call of Guiyuan.
At the east end of the courtyard, a door opened, revealing Ji Sanren, or the figure of no blame. He looked at the sky, and it was already dawn. He looked at the crowd in the courtyard again and said in surprise, "Hey, what's wrong?"
"Hehe, fellow Daoists, let's disperse, continue another day, and Brother Xi, Brother Shui, this is Ji Sanren-"
There were more than a dozen monks standing in the courtyard, all of whom were guests of Yingxian Pavilion, and they all dispersed, while Guiyuan and Ah Nian came over with two strange men.
"Brother Ji, I'll introduce you to the two brothers, Xi You and Shui Mu, and come into the house to talk——"
Blameless arched his hand, and before he could say hello, he hurriedly flashed to the side, and the four of them drove straight in. He then went into the house, but saw that the four of them were already seated on the couch, and he, the master, had nowhere to stay. He had to stand against the wall, still puzzled.
"Brother, what's going on?"
"Brother Ji, don't you know anything?"
Gui Yuan sat in the center, his face full of excitement.
"I'm here to practice, I don't know. And the two of them also have guest rooms, so why crowd them together, it's stuffy and hot......"
Blameless shook his head, still ignorant.
"Hehe, Brother Ji, you missed a big opportunity!"
Gui Yuan smiled, looking emotional. Ah Nian, Xi You, and Shui Mu on his left and right also think so. He stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, and said: "Nine swords to slash demons, Star Dou is in the sky, laughing at the clouds and the sky, who doesn't know you...... Tsk......"
When he said this, he was amazed: "It is worthy of being the Nine Swords Star Monarch, look at this heroic words, the free and transcendent realm, and the righteous deeds of the Heavenly Dao, should be a model for my generation!"
Blameless leaned against the wall, yawning.
Guiyuan's interest was strong, and he suddenly became dissatisfied, and shouted: "Brother Ji, why are you hiding here to cultivate, why are you listless?"
Blameless looked up and said, "No......"
Gui Yuan continued to question: "And I mentioned the Nine Swords Star Monarch, why did you turn a deaf ear, shouldn't you......"
"Oh, could it be the master who slayed the ghost clan?"
"Of course!"
"Oh, I'm listening!"
Wu Yi finally had some energy, reached out and pulled the wooden table, and then sat down with a smile on his face.
Gui Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "...... At the critical juncture, the Nine Swords Star Monarch stepped forward and used his peerless supernatural powers to behead the two demons who had been cultivated by the Earth Immortals. Why did his old man appear again, and the timing was so coincidental? Nine times out of ten, it was the reason why he offended the ghost clan, and he couldn't rest assured, so he secretly sheltered him...... It's a pity that I was about to visit, thanks to his care, who expected that the master of Yixiang Villa came, and the old man hid his merit and fame, and went away. And before leaving, he also sent me four mantras, nine swords to kill demons, Xingdou is in the future, laughing at the clouds and the sky, who doesn't know you......"
From his mouth, he learned that he met Xi You and Shui Mu last night, so he invited the other party to drink in the stone pavilion on the top of the mountain, but he didn't want the dealer in Chisongling to be chased and killed by the demon clan, so he fled all the way to Tieshan Town, hoping that someone would save him, but in the end he was killed, and the masters of the two demon clans were about to take the opportunity to ransack Tieshan Town, when the Nine Swords Star Monarch appeared, even if the danger was lifted, and then drifted away. And everything seemed to have become his credit, especially the words left by the Nine Swords Star Monarch made him talk about it with relish.
"Brother Gui, that passage is already known to everyone, and it has nothing to do with you......"
"Ah Nian, shut up. My fate with the Nine Swords Star Monarch, how do you know it as a reckless man!"
Gui Yuan interrupted Ah Nian's questioning, raised his hand and took out a jade plate, and said proudly: "This token of Yixiang Villa should always be related to me, right?"
Ah Nian was silent.
Xi You and Shui Mu also nodded again and again.
Gui Yuan saw that Wu Zhi was still ignorant and puzzled sitting in the corner, shook the jade plaque in his hand and said: "I didn't expect Yixiang Villa to have precautions against the ghost clan and the demon clan, and learned that the dealer had been robbed, so he sent a large group of masters to come to help, but it was still a step too late." And I reported the reason in time, and expressed my volunteer, Ogawa seniors for my righteous deeds to protect Tieshan Town, greatly appreciated, gave a token, and ordered you and me to rush to the villa on the same day!"
The reason for the departure of the Nine Swords Star Monarch was not his hidden merit and fame, but the fact that more than a dozen disciples of Yixiang Mountain Villa came last night, and there was no shortage of earth immortal masters, and the person who was the leader was a middle-aged man named Ogawa. He saw that the monks in the town did not flee for their lives, he was very surprised, and saw that Guiyuan wanted to worship the villa, only when the other party was brave and commendable, he agreed on the spot, and in order to chase the Nine Swords Star Monarch and search for the remnants of the demon clan, when he hurried away, he ordered Guiyuan to rush to the Yixiang Villa by himself, and so on. And Guiyuan had a token in his hand, and then he became a famous figure. The monks in the town stammered one after another, who wouldn't want to be close to the disciples of Yixiang Villa.
"You and I got acquainted on the way, we are our own brothers, and we should take care of each other when we go to Yixiang Villa. As for the colleagues in the town, they also want to accompany them, so I can't help them, hehe!"
"What Brother Gui said is very true!"
"This time I was fortunate to meet Brother Gui, if it weren't for it, how could I worship the villa so easily. Oh, there's another Ji brother......"
"Yes, Brother Ji, why are you so restrained, although your cultivation is a little weaker, you shouldn't be ashamed of yourself......"
Guiyuan not only holds the token of Yixiang Villa, but also can speak well, so he naturally gets the flattery of Xi You and Shui Mu. And a person who sits in the corner and is silent, and his appearance is not good, and his expression is obscene, and he cannot help but be despised.
"Hey!"
Sitting on the wooden table, he was a lot shorter than the four people on the couch, and he was even less imposing. But he didn't think so, cloaked his hands, shook his feet, and laughed without saying a word.
Have low self esteem?
I am not guilty of being ashamed of myself in the presence of two hypocritical and pretentious fellows, and what kind of ignorant person must have the courage to say such shallow and self-righteous words.
Ah Nian seemed to feel inappropriate, and said: "The two seniors don't know, this Ji senior's generosity is generous, and the inn and wine money are ......."
Although this man is reckless and loves to take advantage, he is upright. And before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.
"Ah Nian, you keep saying that you don't leave money, it hurts the realm, shut up!"
Guiyuan sighed, and said with great ambition: "You and I will rest for a while, and then set off on our way." Ji Sanren, don't take out your wine and do it with a strong demeanor!"
Brother Ji's honorific title is also gone.
Blameless grinned, didn't bother to say much, grabbed two jars of wine and threw them on the couch, then turned and walked out the door.
"Brother, why don't you drink?"
"Excuse me, I heard that it was lively last night, I can't hold back my curiosity, and go out for a walk!"
Blameless made an excuse, walked out of the house, slammed the wooden door shut, and muttered: "I'm ashamed of myself, and I still drink a fart wine......"
"Oh, what do you call this fellow Daoist?"
"Senior ......"
At this time, it was already dawn, and there were more than a dozen monks standing in the courtyard of the inn, and suddenly they saw someone coming out of the house and hurriedly flocking.
Wu Yi didn't want to pay attention to it, but his eyes flashed, he stretched out a palm at the crowd, and said calmly: "Gui Yuan is drinking with a few Taoist friends, and I will collect the wine money on his behalf." Feel free, one spirit stone is a lot, and ten spirit stones are not much......"
Everyone looked at each other, and immediately understood, and they all took out the spirit stones, and did not forget to remind: "Five spirit stones, the number of the next Dao is...... My Ten Pieces...... My Twenty Dollars ......"
Blameless is that the person who came did not refuse, collected a hundred and ten spirit stones in an instant, raised his hand and pointed to the closed door, and then walked out of the inn alone.
The crowd understood and continued to wait.
The morning haze has not yet dissipated, and a red sun has begun to rise.
Figures appeared in the streets, either opening the doors, or sprinkling water to sweep, or lighting cooking smoke, or walking out into the countryside outside the town, and into the jungle of the valley.
Blameless walked through the streets to the west end of the town.
A group of men gathered around the collapsed house, debating how to repair it. There are also a few old and young people dressed in sackcloth crying around the coffin, lamenting the impermanence of fate and the suddenness of life and death.
The mundane scene may also be bland, but it gives birth to vitality, evolutionary reincarnation, tranquility and order, and so on day after day, year after year......
Blameless walked around the house and followed the stone steps to the top of the hill where the stone pavilion was built.
Looking at the four heights, the sun is shining. The entire market town and valley are shrouded in a faint golden sunrise.
Standing on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, he only felt that his mind was cleansed, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. And after a while, he frowned slightly, looked down at the few gift rings, and said to himself: "Since you have picked up a bargain, you can't help but avenge the dealer......"
He hid in the inn last night to retreat, and did not forget to pay attention to the movement near and far. A group of chasing and fighting figures had just arrived in Iron Mountain Town and had already been noticed by him. So he used his escape method to sneak out of the inn, although he failed to save the dealer, and finally killed the two masters of the demon clan at a critical moment.
When he encountered the ghost clan before, he was a small test, and last night he used his clone again, and he was more skillful and free, plus the six swords came out together, and he finally helped the dealer to avenge himself.
The men of the two demon clans both have the cultivation of the first and second layers of the earth immortals, and they are infinitely powerful, and they are real masters.
In the past, only with the help of ghosts, or twelve silver armor guards, can he defeat such two masters of the demon clan, otherwise his fate can only be to flee in the wilderness. And now, with his own strength, he can easily kill his opponent, which is the benefit of cultivating to be strong. And he met the ghost clan and the demon clan successively, which surprised him. However, he still quietly escaped before the disciples of Yixiang Mountain Villa arrived, and then returned to the inn to hide. And the passage left behind is purely improvised, or it can confuse the public, but I am afraid that I will not be able to hide it from those who have a heart.
"Nine swords slash demons, the stars are in the sky, laugh at the clouds and look outside, who doesn't know the king......"
Blameless put away his ring, muttered to himself, grinned, and looked at the stone mountain at his feet.
The so-called Iron Mountain is supposed to be a piece of meteoric iron, which is still not pure and extremely bulky, so no one cares about it. And what kind of scene and what kind of catastrophe will such a big stone fall from the sky?
The market town is located in a slightly low-lying area, surrounded by an empty valley, and the stone mountain is located in the middle of the valley. As far as the eye can see, the whole valley seems to have been caused by an impact. Vaguely, it seems that it can be imagined that countless years ago, the boulder fell, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, and the catastrophe was never recovered......
At this time, several figures flew over the market town, and then chased a group of monks, and Gui Yuan, who was the leader, looked angry.
Blameless glanced back and leapt into the air.
And he was not far away, and the shouts came—
"Ji Sanren, you dare to use my prestige and deceive, how can this be reasonable......
It turned out to be a return to the Yuan, and the posture of the teacher asking for sin.
The blameless head didn't look back, just flew forward, and his mouth was not idle, and he said casually-
"Just begging for wine money, how can you ever deceive?"
"Wine money? Your wine, you actually ask for money......
"Joke, whose wine doesn't cost money......"
"That's not worth more than a hundred spirit stones......
"Buy cheaply and sell expensive, the way to make a profit ......"
"You shouldn't ask someone else for it in my name......"
"You fellow Daoists are willing, how can you refuse, if you don't want to go, you will return it to ......"
"Brother Ji......"
