The two girls, Cao and Zhuang, were not willing to let their beloved leave, so they hurriedly said: "That's too dangerous, why don't we accompany you?"
Mr. Zhang said calmly: "What's a little danger? Senior brother, I have my own means to deal with it! Besides, it's not easy to reveal too much to you about military and national affairs. It's important for my junior sisters to send medicine back to the mountain. You don't have to wait for me."
, after I finish taking care of things here, I will naturally go to Huayun Mountain to pay my respects to the mountain gate."
After watching several junior sisters from Huayun Pavilion Wenqing Valley leave, Mr. Zhang turned back to the way he came and arrived at the foot of Baiyin Mountain. He did not dare to go up the mountain, so he hid in the dense forest beside the road at the foot of the mountain, guarding the intersection eagerly.
He didn't go to Xingqing Mansion to inquire about some military and national affairs, but he was obsessed with intercepting the "Cheng Dong family". He had just been showing off his generosity, and in a daze he wrote an IOU worth one hundred thousand taels. Thinking about it,
It feels strange to wake up.
On the way after leaving, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. What if this Cheng Dong's family didn't follow the rules and really went to Longhu Mountain to collect debts? What would he do if he refused to pay it then? What would he do to his reputation?
Do you want it anymore? Do you want the Zhang family’s face anymore?
Therefore, he immediately made up his mind and planned to find an opportunity to kill Cheng Dong's family on the way after they left Qukong Temple! He was just a businessman with illicit ties to Buddhism, and he was violent in Xia Kingdom.
If he is killed, who can know that he did it? Well, before he is silenced, he needs to ask the name of the mountain guest, what kind of heel he is, and what his background is!
Mr. Zhang hid in the dense forest until nightfall, the stars were twinkling, and the abominable Cheng Dong's family did not come out. He was also prepared to sleep in the wild, ate some cakes stored in the storage artifact, and decorated the mountain path
After replacing the Taoist Talisman with a new one, he leaned firmly under the tree and entered the Jing'an God.
It was an uneventful night. After dawn, I went to the mountain gate and looked at the temple for a while. I didn't find anything unusual, so I went back to the foot of the mountain and waited patiently. It was already winter, and there was no aura here compared to the surrounding Qukong Temple.
Although he was cultivated as Huang Guan and was not afraid of the cold, he was alone in an empty mountain forest with only dead trees and white snow for company. Not to mention being in an enemy country, it was an unprecedented experience for him.
, I couldn’t help but feel a little scared.
Then I thought about it, I was deep in the Xia Kingdom, at the heart of the Buddhist temple, lurking for several days and killing thieves in one fell swoop. Such heroic deeds would be enough to add glory to the Zhang family, and maybe even be passed down to future generations!
Amidst this tangled complex of emotions, Mr. Zhang spent his second sleepless night. At dawn, the circles under his eyes were inevitably a little dark.
On the morning of the third day, Mr. Zhang finally waited for the target person to appear. But unfortunately, the Cheng Dongjia did not go down the mountain by himself. He was accompanied by two great monks, one of whom was the one who had just climbed up the Baiyin Mountain in a hurry the day before yesterday.
That one.
Although Mr. Zhang was proud of his Taoist magical powers, he had to admit that he was no match for the monk. He couldn't succeed, so he had to stay far behind and follow leisurely.
I saw the three of them riding down the mountain, over the hills, through the woods, and arrived at a large carriage shop on the official road. They waited for them to change carriages after dinner and then drove along the official road to Xingqing Mansion...
Mr. Zhang couldn't help but be a little anxious. What if they were allowed to return to Xingqing directly? There were probably no fewer than dozens of Buddhist temples in the capital of the Xia Kingdom. It could be said that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there were so many masters that Master Zhang thought he didn't have that ability.
He doesn’t have the guts to go into the city and kill people—in fact, he has never killed anyone since he was born!
Fortunately, when the three of them were approaching Xingqing Mansion, they did not enter the city. Instead, they turned to another official road and went straight to a barren mountain where construction work was bustling. There were people coming and going on the mountain, but Mr. Zhang did not dare to follow him and show his face.
So I found a leeward spot at the foot of the mountain and stood guard.
This is another night...
Turning around, the three of them had finally descended the mountain. Mr. Zhang mustered up his fighting spirit and continued to sneak behind. He saw that the three of them had walked north for five or six miles and then climbed up to a barren mountain. This mountain was also undergoing a lot of construction work and was very lively.
extraordinary.
Mr. Zhang had no choice but to continue waiting at the foot of the mountain, but there was no leeward place here, and the cold wind at night blew over, which was really uncomfortable.
Tracking is an activity that consumes a lot of energy and physical strength. In order to ensure that you don’t lose track of the target person, you must maintain a high degree of attention at all times. Even if you meditate at night, you must leave three points of awareness, so it requires mental strength.
The consumption is particularly huge.
Living alone and sleeping alone for four consecutive nights in the cold winter, Mr. Zhang, who has been well-fed and well-fed since he was a child, is very uncomfortable. To be able to survive until now is already extraordinary, or it can be said that it is entirely the one hundred thousand taels of silver IOU that supports him.
will.
After taking another Yangxin Pill, Mr. Zhang felt exhausted both physically and mentally. He really wanted to lie down on a soft bed and have a deep sleep!
Fortunately, Sanqing Taoist Master is here, the Chengdong family finally returned home, and he was the only one in his carriage, and the two monks did not follow him! What an eye-opener for God!
Mr. Zhang, who was parked two miles behind the carriage and saw no one around, made up his mind in vain, so he cast a magic talisman and began to speed up.
This was his first time to kill someone. He couldn't help biting his lip. He was worried and excited at the same time. He was ready to use Taoist magic to kill the Chengdong family in the carriage under the thunder talisman after catching up with the carriage.
!
At this moment, he suddenly heard the name of "Amitabha" in his ears like thunder. It made Mr. Zhang dizzy, and his chest was full of blood. He was so busy that he carried out the Qingxu Cave passed down by his family.
Using the Xuan Sutra Heart Technique, a powerful burst of true power suddenly erupted from the elixir fetus. The true power surged up instantly and protected the internal organs, so there was no vomiting of blood.
Mr. Zhang was shocked and angry. He turned around and saw a monk two feet away in front of him. He clasped his hands together and said again: "Amitabha!"
Another burst of thunder came. This time, Mr. Zhang could no longer hold it. He was so shocked that he sat down on the ground. A soft tendon flew over and tied Mr. Zhang tightly.
Mr. Zhang was shocked and angry. Judging from the two Buddhist chants made by the monk just now, his level of cultivation was roughly on the same level as his own. However, the other party's sneak attack was really ruthless and not fair enough. He wanted to be dignified in Longhu Mountain.
A direct disciple, I have never lost in a martial arts fight with a monk of the same level. I didn’t expect to fall into the trap of this evil monk today. I really lost unjustly and not worth it!
He shouted: "Who are you and why did you sneak attack on me?"
The monk bowed slightly and said: "The young monk Xuan Tan was ordered by my master to protect the Chengdong family when they returned to Xingqing. Who are you, this benefactor? Why did you follow the Chengdong family? My master said that there were thieves following the benefactor Cheng all the way.
I’m afraid it’s going to be detrimental to Cheng Dong’s family, could it be you?”
