When Lu Jing and Hu Cong returned to the north city gate, the chefs of the institute had already disemboweled the three armored rhinos with the help of Meng Fan, bled them one by one, removed the skin and horns, and divided the muscles and minced the flesh.
, put it into the pot and simmer.
All materials such as rhino blood, rhino bones, and rhino heads were not wasted. The rich aroma of meat spreads for miles, attracting people's greed.
The meat of the armored rhinoceros is not something that ordinary people can eat. Even among the wealthy households in the city, very few are lucky enough to have tasted it.
Many people wanted to buy it at high prices for a taste. Meng Fan and others did not stop them, but asked these people to ask for it from the refugees themselves.
Whether it is bartering or just exchanging money, as long as it is not forced to buy, no one in the prison will interfere. Anyway, each person has a bowl of meat and a bowl of soup. What to do with it after it is distributed is the refugee's business.
It was very busy outside the city. Seven or eight bonfires were lit in the shelter of the charity house. The refugees gathered around the fire to eat meat and drink soup. The ghost soldiers assigned people to look around to be on guard against wild beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards. Everything
Methodical.
"It's quite lively."
Lu Jing led Hu Cong to the fire where Meng Fan and others were.
Zhang Qiying was feeding the wind beast, noticed him, stood up, waved, and moved to the side.
Lu Jing turned his head and said, "Hu Cong, you go and eat too."
Hu Cong swallowed, the smell was so tempting: "Yes." He quickly ran to the big pot to divide the meat.
Lu Jing walked towards Meng Fan and Zhang Qiying.
Zhang Qiying handed over a bowl full of meat and broth. Lu Jing took it with a smile and said thank you.
Meng Fan asked: "Have you finished asking all the questions?"
"Um."
Lu Jing sat down, took a sip of soup, and said: "It was King Dou Mao of Di who took a fancy to the exotic treasure on my body and pulled this trick. It has been dealt with. In addition..." He took out a pot from Mo Tong's mouth.
A nine-section staff, an animal skin bag, and half a broken book titled "The Method of Gathering Beasts and Regulating Birds".
"Taipingdao stuff."
Meng Fan raised his eyebrows, glanced at the nine-section staff and the animal skin bag, and looked at the broken book: "Gathering beasts and regulating birds... This should be one of the twelve Taiping arts. The old Taoist priest has an extraordinary background. This
This secret method can only be mastered by Zhang Jiao's direct disciples, and it seems that he used this method to place the three armored rhinos here."
"Yes, it's a pity that there is only the "Method of Gathering Beasts" and not the "Method of Regulating Birds"..."
Lu Jing felt a little pity and then raised the bag: "Just knowing the magic is not enough, we also need this. This should be the [Beast Bag] in the book, which can hold the treasures of strange beasts. I caught a chicken and tried it, and it is indeed
It has no impact.”
"nice one."
Meng Fan nodded and said: "This bag should be around the sixth grade, but it is rare enough and the price can reach the lower level of the fifth grade. Take it with you when you return to the main altar. You can use it if you want to use it. If you don't want to use it, you can go to the Xuantan Hall to exchange for it.
Traces in exchange for other treasures. The main altar has stood for many years and still has some wealth."
Lu Jing clasped his fists: "Thank you, uncle, for your guidance."
Meng Fan waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be so polite. A person is better than a person. At your age, you have already created the ninth level of Qi, which is much stronger than me. I have been cultivating for ten years more than you, and I only broke through it two months ago."
It’s just about refining the spirit.
When you return to the main forum this time, after your master awards you a reward, he will most likely ask you to go to Langzhong to help your master. After Pang Xi's defeat, Brazil was in chaos, and Liu Bei was eyeing Jiameng Pass. Although it is a treasured place for training, it is also dangerous.
Be very, very careful.”
"Uncle, don't worry."
Lu Jing said with a smile: "How big your ability is and how big the job is. The more you are in a place where the tiger occupies the dragon's position, the more cautious you must be. I understand this truth."
Meng Fan laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and said comfortingly: "But don't worry, there is a large sacrificial wine and your master to support the situation, so you don't need to charge into battle. Do a lot of meritorious deeds, and there are many good treasures waiting for you."
"I hope so."
"Here, let's have some soup. These chefs are really good at cooking."
Everyone was roasting on the bonfire and eating meat, and the most difficult night passed like this.
The next day.
The hired workers and refugees rushed to rebuild the charity house as soon as possible. Lu Jing, Wang Shuang, and Zhang Qiying packed their things and set off for Motian Ridge.
Jian Xi, Ming Yi and other ghost soldiers saw each other off reluctantly, and Meng Fan was among them.
Except for Wang Shuang, Lu Jing only brought Hu Cong with him, and the others could not do without him either.
"Everyone, see you later."
Lu Jing and Zhang Qiying said goodbye to everyone, and the four of them rushed to the Motianling main altar together.
It took Zhang Qiying more than four days to arrive, but the distance was actually less than two hundred miles.
It was a smooth journey back this time without any delays. We arrived in Nanzheng in the evening and saw that majestic mountain.
Four people and one beast stood under the mountain gate, looking up at the mountain.
But there are three thousand bluestone steps leading directly to the top of the mountain. On the top is a large-scale building complex, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with extraordinary momentum.
Inside, there is a forest of camphor trees, with shade blocking out the sun and birds perching on the tops of the trees. The environment is quiet and quiet. When you look around, you will see the setting sun shining down here, making it look like a dream, like a fairyland.
Zhang Qiying has long been familiar with all this and is naturally accustomed to it.
But this was the first time for Lu Jing and the other three people to meet him, and they couldn't help but be shocked by the Celestial Master's Taoist Temple, which had been standing for thirty years.
There is also a couplet engraved on the left and right sides of the mountain gate archway. On the left is: Immortal Guests at Qilin Hall, and on the right is: Taoist Family on Motian Ridge. The brushwork is vigorous and the iron paintings are painted with silver hooks.
Lu Jing praised: "Good calligraphy. It looks familiar..."
Zhang Qiying chuckled and said: "Doesn't it look familiar? This was written by the fourth uncle in his early years. Before he entered the profession, he was still young, but he was already a well-known calligrapher. His father came here to build a mansion more than 20 years ago.
, I just asked him to write this, and everyone is very satisfied."
"No wonder it's so familiar."
Lu Jing admired it for a moment, then looked away and looked around: "It's strange, is there no one on duty at the mountain gate? Why is there no one?"
"yes."
Zhang Qiying was also a little surprised and wondered: "It's not usually like this..."
Behind the two of them, Wang Shuang and Hu Cong also felt strange. They looked around and saw that the surroundings were quiet and dead. There was a depressing feeling that a storm was about to come!
At this moment, the alarm bell suddenly rang, and then, a ghostly black shadow jumped out of the magnificent building complex on the mountain.
He flew like a bird in the air, using his unparalleled lightness skills to rush out of the vermilion gate and come straight down the steps!
Behind him followed a group of Zhengyi true disciples wearing white and gray Taoist robes, all of them holding swords and glaring angrily.
In the mountains and forests on both sides of the steps, dozens of people jumped up at the same time, setting up a dragnet and sword formation to surround the man in black from all directions.
"Where to run!"
The man was in mid-air, and seeing no way to escape, he tried his best to catch the sword strike of a middle-aged Taoist priest behind him. His internal injuries worsened, he vomited blood, and he flew backwards with the help of his strength!
On the way down, I noticed Zhang Qiying riding a white deer under the mountain gate archway.
An excited look flashed in his eyes, as if he was glad to have an extra chance of survival. He immediately dropped down and pounced on her like a hawk!
"Saint beware!"
The Taoist priest of Tianshi Mansion behind him did not expect Zhang Qiying to appear at this time, and was shocked.
Zhang Qiying faced the attack, her eyes were determined, and she threw out [Xiaodu Gong Seal] with her hand.
"Little tricks!"
The man sneered, obviously already aware of Zhang Qiying's methods. The moment Xiaoyin flew into the sky, his body skills increased sharply, and he actually split into four clones, confusing the sight - Zhang Qiying's seal had already flown out, and his luck had activated the talisman array.
He could only take advantage of the situation and release the [Trapped God Formation] towards the figure who was originally preparing to attack - of course it was a fake, and the true form of the black shadow took advantage of the situation to bully him!
The Fengsheng Beast hurriedly pounced, controlling the strong winds from all directions to protect Zhang Qiying, but the black-clothed human body method was so unpredictable that it was like a ghost!
One clone is trapped and dissipated, and the other three are also able to confuse the fake with the real one.
The wind-born beast has the ability to control the wind, but it can't tell whether the three human bodies are real or fake - the changes in the airflow around them are exactly the same!
At the critical moment, without thinking, Feng Shengshou saw the three men approaching and waved its sharp claws at one of the clones!
Invisible wind blades tear the earth apart, flying sand and rocks!
But it missed the mark and only shattered the clones. The remaining two clones had already passed through its defense and came to Zhang Qiying!
Two figures grabbed her neck, one from the left and one from the right!
The expressions of everyone in Tianshi Mansion changed greatly.
The wind beast screamed.
Wang Shuang and Hu Cong haven't reacted yet.
"Jiulizhai, "Four Ghosts Flowing Wind"..."
A voice rang out, telling the story of the Qing Gong practiced by the man in black. The man in black ignored him and wanted to catch Zhang Qiying who was just around the corner!
However, at the critical moment, an invisible sword blocked his true body's sharp claws.
Lu Jing made a move [Eternal Power], his skill exploded, and the extremely powerful sword energy burst out of the embankment instantly!
The man in black realized that something was wrong. At that moment, his feet were filled with cold air. If he tried to grab it again, his hands would be destroyed, so he hurriedly poured in his energy to defend himself.
The sharp claws instantly turned blue-black, like cast iron.
Clang!
The swords and claws clashed, a deafening loud noise resounded through the mountain gate, and sparks flew out!
The man in black's face changed drastically as he slashed at the iron hand with great force. What a terrifying power this was. The tiger's mouth instantly burst open, his eyes widened immediately, and he flew out!
Lu Jing's face was expressionless, and he waved his hand and appeared again without a fixed ring!
There was a flash of golden light.
"ah!"
The screams suddenly sounded, and then fell silent.
The man in black's sternum was shattered and he fell to the ground!
Lu Jing retracted the flying ring and stood in front of Zhang Qiying with his sword. The tip of the sword pointed diagonally at the ground. Although his skill was low, he had the air of a master.
Everyone in Tianshi Dao breathed a sigh of relief. There were no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys were the king. Fortunately, there were experts who helped and the saint was not injured... But after taking a closer look, they noticed the true evangelist robe on Lu Jing's body, and everyone showed surprise.
Wow, what's going on, this master is actually from the same sect?!
