Chapter 18: Temptation

When he came to Tang Zai's residence, Shi Jingzhai found that Tang Zai was not in the house, and asked the maid to find out that he had gone to Jinchi Peak to fish.

Jinchi Peak is a peak on the west side of Yongsui Mountain, which is not called Jinchi Peak here, but Jinding Peak. More than a thousand years ago, there was a real person in Tianxin who fought at the Golden Peak. The battle was fought in such darkness that even the hills were flattened and sunken to form a lake. Because the lake on the top of the mountain in Rizhao becomes the bright golden light, it is called the golden pool, and then the golden peak also becomes the golden pond peak.

However, although there is a lake on Jinchi Peak, there are no fish, and I don't know which of Tang Zhengcun's minds actually went to Jinchi to fish. Fortunately, immortal cultivators act and have a lot of unbelievable thoughts, as long as they have a heart, it is nothing to make Jinchi a fish.

At this moment, when he learned that Tang Zheng was on Jinchi Peak, Shi Jingzhai flew to find him.

The top of Jinchi Peak is covered with snow, the lake is full of glow, and the two incompatible scenery appear in the same place at this moment, which is strange and harmonious, showing a different scenery.

In the middle of the lake, a row of rafts floats leisurely.

Tang Zai sat leisurely on the raft with a hanging rod in his hand, looking like a leisurely fairy road in the clouds and wild cranes. Under the surface of the water, a large school of koi fish swam around, and a slender sewing needle hung in the middle of the fish, which was the hook of Tang Zheng.

With such a hook, naturally he couldn't catch any fish, but Tang Zheng didn't care at all, just waited quietly.

When Shi Jingzhai flew from the sky in the distance, the sound of "Tang Zheng Xiaoyou" made Tang Zheng's face finally show a smile.

The fish took the bait.

He raised his head and looked at the sky: "It turned out that Shi Zhenren arrived, why don't you come down together and pick up a few rods and have a drink?"

As he spoke, he raised the flask beside him and invited to the air.

Shi Jingzhai laughed: "Xiaoyou is really interested, so why not accompany Xiaoyou." ”

I was just passing through.

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from the mustard seed bag, and turned it into a paper boat in three folds and two folds, and then blew on the paper boat, and the paper boat rose in the air, and finally became floating on the water like a real boat.

Shi Jingzhai descended from the sky, landed on the bow of the boat, and beckoned to Tang Zheng and said, "Why don't you come to my boat, your place is smaller." ”

Tang Zheng couldn't help but admire this in his heart.

Don't look at Shi Jingzhai's use of paper as a boat It looks simple, but it is the real ability of chemical matter, and it is also the ability that can only be mastered by entering the heart of heaven, and it was the same means for Xu Muyang to send him away with a paper horse.

Hearing Shi Jingzhai say this at this moment, Tang Zheng jumped onto Shi Jingzhai's boat, praised "a real person's good means", took out a cup from the bag, filled Shi Jingzhai with a wine jug, and sent it to him.

Shi Jingzhai took the wine and sniffed it carefully, and said with a smile: "Twenty years of apricot blossom brewing, Tang Zheng is you robbing the old Chen family under the mountain, and get the only good wine in this Yongsui Mountain." There are also fish in this lake, this is obviously the embroidered golden carp of Yaocheng Jingwangfu, and I actually let you get it. You didn't see you yesterday for a day, and you went to Qiongzhou. ”

"The eyes of a real person are like a torch, powerful, powerful!" Tang Zai smiled and said: "Tang Zai has a little trick, but he can't hide the eyes of a real person." ”

Shi Jingzhai looked at the large group of embroidered golden carp in the lake, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "Legend has it that this embroidered golden carp tastes beautiful, and each one is the best taste in the world." King Jing's Mansion has only raised nearly a thousand so far, but you got so many at once, are you afraid that he has fished out his family's pool?"

Tang Zai said with a smile: "That King Jing is so stingy, I asked him for a hundred, but he refused, saying that he would sell me at most ten, and in a fit of anger, he sneaked in and touched all the fish in his pond, I was afraid that I would blow up the lungs of that King Jing." ”

Shi Jingzhai frowned and said, "I know that Xiaoyou is also quite valued in the Moon Washing Sect, and he is the person who personally issued the recommendation order by the head of the Ming Sect. According to the mere mortals of that King Jing, it is not a big deal to take a few fish from him. However, the Moon Washing Sect has long had rules, and only real people can be on an equal footing with mortal kings. Xiaoyou is just a spirit master after all, and I'm afraid that this behavior is still a bit excessive. ”

Tang Zai said lightly: "It's okay, it's just a crime of disrespect, and it shouldn't be a big deal." It doesn't hurt to make some small mistakes, as long as you hold on to the big problems, but it is a big thing that destroys the family. ”

Shi Jingzhai's heart was shocked when he heard this.

What kind of thing is a big thing that destroys a family and destroys a family?

Speaking of which, there is one thing now.

Was Tang Zheng's words unintentional or did he mean something?

Shi Jingzhai didn't know what to do, but he became more and more jealous in his heart.

At this moment, he laughed a few times and said: "What Xiaoyou said is that as long as you control the big things, some small sections are irrelevant. ”

Tang Zheng had already sat down at the bow of the boat, threw the fishing rod back into the lake and said, "Can a real person come to fish together?"

Shi Jingzhai looked at his straight hook and said with a smile: "Xiaoyou uses a straight hook to fish, and it is fresh." ”

Tang Zai replied: "It's nothing to do, just teasing." Real people don't underestimate this embroidered golden carp as if they are ignorant, and they are actually alert. If I really want to catch one, I am afraid that they will immediately disperse, and the sight of this group of carp arches will never be seen again. ”

Shi Jingzhai said regretfully: "Then I won't be able to eat this embroidered golden carp." ”

Tang Zheng smiled: "Since the real person said so, then Tang Zheng will have to catch a few even if he burns the qin and cooks the crane." ”

As he spoke, he flicked the fishing rod, and the straight hook had passed through the bodies of more than ten embroidered gold carp, strung together and landed on the deck, fluttering and jumping, and the rest of the embroidered gold carp saw this situation, and really dispersed at the same time, even with Shi Jingzhai's eyesight, he couldn't see where these fish swam to.

Tang Zheng already said: "Enough is enough." ”

As he spoke, he took out a knife and began to scrape the scales on the boat.

Shi Jingzhai saw him do it, he had made a small stove to boil water, Tang Zheng washed the fish with lake water and threw it into the pot, and the cultivators generally carried the cooking bottle, so you put some green onions, I put some ginger slices, and the old and the young made fish soup on this lake. From time to time, they also come to the table such as "Don't make all the soup, more than a dozen, leave some braised and steamed", "If there is no wok, it will change, we are immortal cultivators", "There is no soy sauce, can it be conjured", "You can't forget it, stir-fry it for nothing, it is delicious", "You don't know what a steamer is?" "Don't make a steamer here, Lao Shi, how bad is your pot, it will rot when you poke it, I know that it is made of paper......"

Most of the time, Tang Zheng said, and Shi Jingzhai listened. The background and previous background make Tang Zheng at least qualified to be Shi Jingzhai's teacher in terms of cooking. After a busy time, a whole fish feast gradually became a feast.

Looking at this sumptuous fish feast, even Shi Jingzhai moved his index fingers, and Tang Zheng was also satisfied and said: "Yes, today is a blessing." By the way, why don't you call Qiu Zhangmen, Liang Zhenren, and Yu Zhenren together, this embroidered golden carp is a rare thing, if you and I enjoy it exclusively, I'm afraid it's not suitable. ”

Hearing him say this, Shi Jingzhai had no choice but to say: "Lao Liang has some things that he can't leave for the time being, as for Wanniang, she is not in the faction now, so I can't call her." I'll pass the book to the boss and invite him to come. ”

"Oh, has Yu Niangniang gone far away?" and then Shi Jingzhai spoke, Tang Zheng said casually: "That's really a pity, the Jin family's account may be fine in a few days, I don't know if Lu Dao will be able to see her again before Niangniang comes back." ”

Shi Jingzhai said with a smile: "She just went to see a few friends, and she will come back tomorrow night, so she should have time to eat your embroidered golden carp." ”

"That's good. Tang Zai smiled and nodded.

Liang Yu and the others couldn't come, and the head of Qiu also replied that he had something to deal with and was not available for the time being, and in the end the three of them didn't come, but the two of them were here to eat.

After he was full of wine and food, Shi Jingzhai excused himself and left. Although he was asked to spy on Tang Zheng, it was impossible for him to follow him at twelve o'clock, anyway, as long as Tang Zheng did not leave the Shimen Sect, he would not be able to do anything, and he didn't have to care too much.

Tang Zheng watched Shi Jingzhai leave with a grin, and it wasn't until his figure disappeared that his eyes became sharp.

With a slight wave of his hand, the fish that had escaped earlier swam back one after another, still circling around Tang Zheng's small raft.

Tang Zheng pointed casually, and a carp suddenly made a soft fluttering sound, turning into a bubble and bursting, and it was a swimming fish created by copying techniques. Then I heard a crisp sound, and the countless embroidered gold carp in the water exploded and disappeared one after another, and finally became empty. Feelings: All of the nearly a thousand fish here are copied, no wonder their actions are so uniform.

Fortunately, it is a fish, if it is a person, Shi Jingzhai is afraid that he has seen it.

He couldn't have imagined that except for the dozen or so they ate, everything else was fake. Tang Zheng did go to King Jing's Mansion to buy more than ten embroidered golden carp, but in any case, he was not arrogant enough to take a nest of people.

And the reason why this is the case is actually to test whether Shi Jingzhai can see through his copying technique.

Last night, he attacked and killed Lu Dong's men, although he deceived two maids with the copying technique, but because he had no confidence, he did not dare to deceive a few of them with this technique, and it was because of this that he disappeared during the day. Until today's trial, Shi Jingzhai did not find any problems with those fish, and Tang Zheng finally had confidence, which had a great guarantee for his future actions.

For example, if Tang Zheng wants to go somewhere again, he can use the clone to accompany Shi Jingzhai to drink and chat, and no one can doubt him anymore.

But in addition, Tang Zheng has a bigger gain.

Lowering his head at this moment, he muttered: "Come back tomorrow night, back and forth, if you fly at full speed......"

Tang Zheng calculated, estimated the approximate distance that Yu Wanniang could fly, and took out Zhang Qixia's map and looked at it carefully.

There is a sea on both sides of the southeast of Wenxin, and it is basically impossible to fly here, and the north is to go in the direction of the Moon Washing Sect, and it is close to here to find death, so the only choice that Yu Wanniang can choose is to go west. Since it's only a one-day journey, it's precisely where it lands ...... Li Guo.

He finally knew who these people were selling to.

"Seven Absolute Gates!" Tang Zheng coldly spat out these three words.

——————————

The mine is still busy at night.

This is the world world world where there is no day and no night, or the world world here has never existed in the light from the beginning.

The withered miners walked around the cave with heavy baskets on their backs, pickaxes in hand, looking for every possible place to mine, and then digging hard. Occasionally, when they received a little sparkle of light, they did not cry out for joy, but immediately pounced on it and carefully covered it, lest others find out.

As the veins dry up and the sources of ore become scarcer, it becomes more and more difficult to obtain high-quality ore. Sometimes digging for a day doesn't always yield much benefit. As the mine declined, there was more scrambling and killing.

Every now and then, a dark shadow could be seen hurrying by, followed by a corpse lying on the ground and an empty mining basket.

Tang Zheng walked in this dark and chaotic world, but no one discovered his existence.

Like a ghost, he wandered through the mines, step by step into the depths.

Compared to last time, at least this time he didn't need a guide anymore.

In the depths, miners became scarce again.

All the way to the place where he last met the Earth Demon Ape, Tang Zheng stood still.

Shown to take some silver sand from the mustard seed bag, rub it and sprinkle it on the ground. Then he took out some more materials, all of which were placed in their respective positions, and there were more than ten kinds of them in one go.

Compared with last time, Tang Zheng's preparation this time was much more sufficient.

With the material clothed, the fingertips were drawn out with Dao Dao aura, and the cloth was lined with spiritual lines, and after the most reluctance, Tang Zheng punched into the rock wall, picked up a large piece of ore and rummaged carefully, and after finding a few pieces of raw ore, he rubbed it for a while, and got a small piece of spirit stone, and Tang Zheng placed it on the ground.

I saw a flash of light on the ground, and a little silver light danced in the air, spreading to all sides, and in the blink of an eye, the entire mine cave and cliff were placed under a shining starlight.

Tang Zheng's eyebrows reappeared, combined with those starlights, showing a strange light, like a searchlight to the bottom of the cliff.

With the help of the magic circle, Tang Zheng's eyesight was particularly strong this time, and his gaze penetrated through the darkness until he fell to the bottom, and finally saw the existence in the depths of this cliff.

At the bottom was a large humus forest, and the purple-black earth was littered with dead trees, and their dry branches were covered with Jedi poison moths. They roost in those dead trees, quietly, motionless, as if asleep.

The whole land was shrouded in the dust of these poisonous moths, reflecting a purple dead air.

These highly poisonous creatures, which even humans can kill, lie quietly at the bottom of the mine, and as long as they don't disturb their rest, they will easily not move. This may be the only thing where this poison is better.

His gaze wandered above the rotten land, and Tang Zheng searched patiently. If the sand silkworm production area is really in the vicinity of the poison moth territory, then there must be a way to enter it.

Tang Zai believed that he would be able to find it.

It's a pity that in addition to poisonous moths and dead trees, there is only the underground river that is still flowing in this highly poisonous land, because of the toxin, the underground river has become a green and quiet area.

Then Tang Zai's heart shook violently.

He leapt to his feet and flew beneath the ram, not stopping until he was at the edge of the starlight. You can still use the effect of the circle here, but you can get closer to the underground river. The narrowing of the distance made Tang Zheng see more and more clearly, on a large stone near the underground river, there were several traces that were different from others.

The marks are not clear, but they look like they have been stepped on.

There are not many places where the entire humus forest can be settled, and if there is, then this large rock at the very edge is indeed a good choice.

As soon as he saw this stone, a thought came to Tang Zheng's mind: Could it be that they passed from the lower reaches of this river?

Tang Zheng immediately realized that this may not be impossible!

Underground rivers are fluid, which means that they are not subject to long-term toxic infestation like other places. There are two kinds of poison moths, one is dust and the other is venom. Its venom is fiercely poisonous, and its dust is long-term slow poison.

The humus forest is caused by the dust of the poisonous moth, and as for the underground river, it is completely different from the venom in the body of the poisonous moth, and it is simply a weakened dust toxin.

This toxin, with the strength of Tianxin Zhenren, can definitely resist the past.

But then again, if you swim in this underground river for a long time, and there is no good way to repel drugs, those chronic poison rates will accumulate day by day, and I am afraid that it will also seriously affect your physical condition.

In this regard, Tang Zheng can only say that people die for money, and birds die for food.

Compared with the huge wealth that is about to arrive, two years of hard work is nothing.

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng also sighed and looked down.

This time he was much more careful, flying all the way until he landed on the boulder, not daring to make a sound, lest he alarm the poison.

Then he gently undressed and stepped into the water.

Although he has not entered the Heavenly Heart, the Hundred Refining Rank and the Jade Body may not be worse than the ordinary Heavenly Heart Rank in terms of anti-poison, and besides, he doesn't need to enter it for a long time, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.

After entering the water, Tang Zheng only felt that his whole body was cold, and his skin was numb and itchy, as if there were tens of thousands of insects and ants biting, and he knew that this was a toxin reaction, so he could only endure it. Fortunately, after a while, the skin gradually adapted to the strongly corrosive river water, and the itching was greatly reduced.

Tang Zheng went all the way down the river.

He had left a pair of panties on his body, but he was swimming at this moment, but his legs moved, and he saw that the panties had been torn apart. I touched it with it, only to find that under this poisonous water, the fabric became brittle and rotten when I touched it.

The fault is not that Tang Zheng is an ordinary person, ordinary people roll in this water a few times, and most of them die directly, saying that it is a weakened toxin, but the power is still extraordinary.

Tang Zheng couldn't help but shake his head in amazement, and then simply continued to sneak under the water naked.

After a while, a slender pipe appeared in front of me, and there was a black hole at the end, so I couldn't see anything clearly. Without the help of the magic circle, Tang Zheng could not see the situation inside, which made Tang Zheng hesitate and didn't know whether to move forward or not.

Because this pipe is too narrow, even those who are idle and fat can't get in. Tang Zheng can enter, but once he enters, it is difficult to even turn around, and if he wants to go back, he can only slowly rub it little by little. If there is any danger, being in such a narrow corridor is basically a certain death.

Tang Zheng didn't make a decision immediately, but first looked at the surrounding environment, confirmed that there were traces of people coming here, and then thought of Shi Jingzhai's slender body, and gradually understood, so he no longer hesitated and drilled into the pipe.

Moving forward little by little in the pipe, I don't know how long it took, but fortunately, the cultivator was able to hold his breath and work hard, and when he was idle for a while, he didn't have anything to do without breathing, and finally Tang Zheng drilled out of the Yongdao, and he heard a bang, and he fell into a large pond.

Only then did he see that the pipe was a mountain wall hanging above, and there was a hole below.

Compared with the humus forest occupied by the Jedi poisonous moth, the water here is murmuring, and the strange rocks are lined up, which is simply a rare fairy cave, and what is even more rare is that the poisonous moth outside is guarded, which is simply a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But the next glance at the cave, Tang Zheng was completely shocked.
