Emperor Shentongjian

Chapter 234 Go to Xiaozhuang Town
It rained a lot last night in Xiaozhuang Town, but it still couldn't dispel the increasingly heavy heat. It happened that a fire rock mine was excavated recently in the north of it. Some monks couldn't afford to buy cassocks to prevent heat and dryness, so they showed their true temperament on the street with bare arms and legs.

At this time, the busiest inn in the town was overcrowded. This inn was located on the edge of the town, backed by a big river. It ingeniously led the river water into the lobby, turning the lobby into a pool. Soak your legs and feet in water when you eat, which is cool.

This was also a comforting thing, until a man entered the store and couldn't wait to take off his shoes and socks and step into the water, smoking a few goldfishes that were suitable for the occasion.

"Blame me?" The big man had an innocent face, looking at the two little ones who wanted to cry without tears.

"Daoist, please come out first. We have a rule in our store. Before eating, go to the cubicle for a spa treatment to relieve your fatigue."

Another waiter was busy throwing water purification stones into the water, and apologized to the guests by the way.

The big man scratched his head embarrassingly, and sighed, "It's too hot in your place, I didn't get used to it."

He got up from the water, waved his hands and said, "There is no need for spa treatment, I am already a day late, and I don't know if I am still here."

"The Taoist priest is waiting for someone." Xiaoer said hey, and pointed to the stairs, "The person you are looking for is in the second room upstairs, go."

"Oh?" The big man wrung out his trouser legs and pulled on his quiver and longbow. "Well, then I'll go up and have a look. By the way, it's really inconvenient for you to get wet after eating here."

You are here to mess things up, "Master Daoist, actually we have water-repelling beads."

The big man chose not to hear, ran upstairs, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

This is a very young voice, with a bit of warmth and freshness.

Hey, don't you even ask anyone?
The big man opened the door and entered the room, and stepped on a ball of paper under his feet. He hurriedly took a step back, but stepped on another one. Looking up, the floor was covered with balls of paper, and there was a scholar in green shirt writing behind the desk at the east end. There are wooden hairpins inserted in the bun, and he looks elegant.

"A certain one is Zuo Zhuzhi." The big man was suspicious, "Who are you, have you met other people?"

"Left. Left." The scholar in green shirt lost his pen, turned around and searched on the bookshelf, "Why are you a day late, the others left long ago."

"Here, here is your bag, this trip is a secret, you can find it according to the location inside."

Zuo Zhuzhi caught the purse thrown from him, opened it, and found that there were some wound medicines, a map, and hidden objects inside, "What's the meaning of this?"

"It's specially provided by the General's Mansion. Don't ask. Hurry up and don't disturb me writing the script." The scholar in blue suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, crumpled up the paper in his hand and threw it on the ground.

Could it be a sick person.Zuo Zhuzhi shook his head, exited the room, and wandered around the inn again, but there was indeed no one else, that's all, let's do what you say.

He walked out of the inn, and suddenly heard a horse's hoof kicking, and squinted his eyes. He was wearing a linen shirt and carrying an epee, and his face was young and dull. He knew him!
"Why are you late? You thought I was the only one left behind." Zuo Zhuzhi was startled inwardly. After only seeing her for a few days, this person seemed to have changed a lot. If he didn't know her, he would have thought she was just an ordinary person. Mortals do.It's not like using something to restrain the breath, I just feel that it exists here naturally, it's not worth paying more attention to, but once you notice it, you can't ignore it.

"It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Zuo."

Apart from the four surnames Luo, Shi, Zhong, and Ding, six people were employed by Rannian, namely Feng Shanhai, Tang Jinshan, Zhou Yongyuan, Lin Youxia, Zuo Zhuzhi, and her.

Zhan Changfeng got off his horse, and Shang stared, "What's the reason for being late, I'm never late."

Zuo Zhuzhi wiped off his sweat, surprised in his eyes, and then smiled, "Well, you go to the inn first, maybe we can go together."

It seems that this place is not the end, "Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Zhan Changfeng entered the inn, and found the scholar in Qingshan under the guidance of Xiaoer. The scholar in Qingshan bit his pen, his face was slightly ferocious, "Let me ask you, a person was hunted down and fell into the cliff accidentally, here is the word 'fall'. 'Stumble'.'Roll', or 'fall'?"

"I prefer 'Jump'."

The scholar in green shirt was slightly stunned, then thought for a while and said, "No, he is not a proactive person."

He rummaged through and found a purse, "You are the last one, follow the map inside to find it."

Make it so cumbersome?

Zhan Changfeng took his purse and went out, and opened the map inside along the way, a route eventually arrived in Lianfang Kingdom.

Zuo Zhuzhi said, "I am also from Lianfang Kingdom, but the route is different."

In fact, the agreed dates are also different. Zhan Changfeng asked to go to Xiaozhuang Town on the tenth day, and Zuo Zhuzhi asked to go to Xiaozhuang Town on the ninth day. It is estimated that other people have different dates, and because they were ordered by Ran Nian Yes, so I only know to go to Xiaozhuang Town to gather, but I don't want everyone's time to be different.

The two of them were not stupid, so they figured it out immediately.

Most of the places in Zangyunjian are cities and villages for cultivators. There are only three small mortal countries, namely Lianfang, Nanhuai and Qingliao. The monks of Hexianghuo Dao, general practitioners are not allowed to come and go at will, and they need to apply for a token from the Si Xun Mansion before they can pass the ban.

These three countries are also the main places where Buddhism and Taoism compete with believers and spread beliefs.

Why is that unknown secret place in the realm of mortals? No wonder they were separated. A group of monks swarmed there, and the gate of Si Xun Mansion alone could not pass.

"We still have to go our separate ways, let's say goodbye first."

"Oh, I'll see you later." Zuo Zhuzhi glanced at the map sadly, hoping that someone would lead the way to the destination, but he had to go alone, hoping that he wouldn't go the wrong way again this time.

Zhan Changfeng bid farewell to him and chased him from left to right, and got on his horse again to go on the road. Although there was no time limit, he could go as fast as he could. Her route was a bit of a detour.

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and there is still more than half of the distance to Lianfang Kingdom.There are no spiritual veins in the area of ​​Lianfang Kingdom, and the vitality of heaven and earth is also less. Even its surroundings are only ordinary mountains and forests. Along the way, there are fewer and fewer residences belonging to monks, and there are even no ones for a long distance. anyone.

Zhan Changfeng didn't mind continuing on the road, but the mount couldn't bear it, so he stopped and let it graze and rest, and sat cross-legged under a tree with a dense crown.

In the forest, the cicadas croaked and the frogs croaked non-stop, and the leaves were hanging down on the branches. The night was windless and extremely hot. In this other kind of turmoil, Zhan Changfeng lifted one eyelid and touched the cloud on his waist. The fan flew out, and the fan surface suddenly opened, like a round of cold stars dotted with light knives flying through the forest. Cicadas croaked and frogs croaked in silence.

Zhan Changfeng caught the cloud fan that flew back, clattered and raised his hand, blocking the suddenly cut blade.

The assassin in night clothes couldn't take a single blow, and immediately disappeared, as if he had merged with the darkness.

The fan blades opened again, resisting the dagger light of dragons and tigers roaring, this time before the man in black could react, Zhan Changfeng closed the fan to clamp the dagger, and clasped his wrist with the other hand, the man in black only felt a powerful aura Invading tendons and veins, bursting blood vessels, his eyes were slightly frightened, and he immediately broke his arm, almost wanting to escape.

"Since you're here, don't leave." With a thought, Zhan Changfeng made the leaves all over the forest rustle, and branches fell off and strangled him towards him, covered in blood mist.
