chewing dragon

Chapter 225

Seeing Old Mandrill's resolute attitude, Qi Jingzhi had no choice but to nod: "Then listen to what the seniors said, and we will discuss it in the future."

Speaking of which, this is not the first time Qi Jingzhi encountered such a situation, Wei Yingdian called him a Taoist brother just because "the best is the first".

"Brother Wei has achieved the heart and bone, but there is no follow-up method to enlighten the spirit and nourish the qi. I still have to write as soon as possible and invite Brother Wei to come here for a while, so that he will not fumble around and be robbed by the gods."

Qi Jingzhi suppressed this thought, and asked Lao Man curiously: "Senior, you enshrine Lord Baiyun Cave in this temple. Could it be that a great power like Yuan Gong is willing to condescend to the position of the mountain god of Xiaosongshan?" ?”

Hearing the young man's question, Lao Man immediately shook his head: "Old man Yu from Songling County has a bad heart and always wants to take Xiaosongshan away! I moved my ancestor here to lie to him. Actually This divine position..."

"Senior, wait!"

Hearing that this matter is indeed related to the Yin Division of Songling County, Qi Jingzhi quickly interrupted: "Senior, Yu Laochenghuang from the Yin Division of Songling County once preached to me, and Master Meng, the head of the Yin Yang Division, is my enlightenment teacher. , the matter between your two families involves the dispute between the gods, the most important thing, but there is no need to make it too clear to me."

The old man was taken aback immediately, and after thinking for a while, he stared at the young man with strange eyes and asked, "Will you tell those ghosts and gods what I told you?"

"Of course not!"

Qi Jingzhi shook his head resolutely: "That day I was besieged by a group of ghosts in this ancient temple. ... I was just a beginner in cultivation at the time, and my cultivation base was superficial, and it seemed that disasters would happen, if seniors didn't take action, how could this junior survive? This is the kindness of saving lives!"

"Afterwards, senior and I fought hand in hand and tried our best to eliminate demons. This is the righteousness of robes that my grandfather always talks about! How can Qi Jingzhi be an ungrateful person?"

"If possible, I hope that the two of you can live in harmony. However, this is a dispute over the way. The younger generation knows that others are soft-spoken, so they should not have such delusions."

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he figured out the meaning of Qi Jingzhi's big colloquial words. He grinned and smiled happily: "If you don't tell the old man, I told you, what's the matter?" Scared?"

This time, the old Mandrill did not give the young man another chance to speak, and continued without a pause: "The young master is still young, and he cannot sit on the seat of God. I told the old man that Xiaosongshan is a fruit, as long as he can chew it, I can eat as much pulp as I can eat on the outside! But the core of the fruit inside must be reserved for me to nourish the idol, and when I feed the idol, I will also give the core to him.”

The old man seemed to be afraid that the young man would not understand, he gestured while talking, and finally pointed to his fangs with his claws, his smile was full of complacency: "Yu the old man's teeth... not good! Before I finish eating, the young master will When it grows up, knock out old man Yu's teeth!"

Now it was Qi Jingzhi who was in a daze, it seemed that neither he nor the ghosts and gods in the Yin Division of Songling County had underestimated the wisdom of the servant of the mountain god in front of him.

Originally, Qi Jingzhi thought that Senior Mandrill's blood was born and won the appreciation of his ancestors, so he wanted to use the dragon veins and earth energy of Xiaosong Mountain as a source of cultivation, so as to achieve success as soon as possible. There is also a young master who came out of nowhere?

Seeing the change in the young man's expression, the old Mandrill smiled even more triumphantly, and then jumped towards the direction of the main hall at the back, not forgetting to say hello: "Come on, come with me to meet the young master, he must like you and... Madara slave!"

"That young master is actually in the hall?"

Qi Jingzhi was immediately aroused, and he and Ban Nu exchanged glances, both of whom could see curiosity from the other's face.

One of the master and servant didn't speak, and the other couldn't speak, but they immediately developed a tacit understanding, and immediately turned around and followed without hesitation.

In front of the main hall, the corpse of the red male monkey has been removed, the copper coins everywhere have been cleared to create a path, and large areas of weeds that can hide snakes have been uprooted.

When the busy monkeys saw the return of the old mandrill, they immediately cheered and lined up on both sides to greet him.

After Lao Mandrill and Qi Jingzhi's master and servant entered the hall, they spontaneously stood guard outside the hall door, and were restrained by the gray-haired old monkey to calm down.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Old Mandrill stood in front of the stone statue of Lord Baiyundong, opened his bloody mouth, and then a faint cyan mountain rhyme flew out of his mouth, and sank into the stone box held by the stone statue's left hand.

Not long ago, when Qi Jingzhi saw the stone box, his heart throbbed for no reason, but he was disturbed by the group of snakes that had been bought from wild money, so he didn't have time to examine it carefully. When he saw this, he knew that it was just a stone box that looked like a stubborn stone. Sure enough, there are some miracles.

After a while, the stone box nourished by the mountain charm suddenly shook, and there was a thin crack on the lower edge of the box cover, and the moon-white brilliance faintly leaked out from inside.

The old Mandrill was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly approached the stone box, trying to suppress his loud voice, calling softly: "Young master?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an immature and ignorant voice responded from the stone box: "Ban...Ban...Ban..."

Old Mandrill became more and more overjoyed, and immediately stretched out his claws to lift the lid of the box, but he couldn't open the stone box after several attempts.

"The young master has to be patient and patient!"

Old Mandrill seemed afraid that the stone box would be damaged by him, so he didn't dare to act recklessly, but immediately withdrew his claws.

But his voice became louder unconsciously: "How dare the money snake in the mountains cross the line I drew and come here to cause trouble! I'll go find it and kill it, and feed it to the young master!"

"just so so!"

This time, the voice in the stone box was obviously more joyful.

Old Mandrill turned around immediately, and hurriedly jumped out of the hall.

Qi Jingzhi glanced at the stone box, knowing that it was not good to stay here alone, so he jumped off Ban Nu's back: "You guard this hall, don't let those... money snakes take advantage of the loopholes."

After all, he didn't wait for Ban Nu to agree, turned around and ran out of the hall, and after a few ups and downs, he caught up with Old Mandrill: "I'll go with senior!"

Old Mandrill glanced sideways at the young man, but he didn't refuse, just nodded silently.

Qi Jingzhi immediately spread his wings on his back and wobbled up into the air: "Senior, do you know where the lairs of those money snakes are?"

Old Mandrill nodded while jumping forward and said: "It came to Xiaosong Mountain a while ago and devoured many creatures. I saw that it was also in the lineage of Lin Mountain, so I didn't chase it away, and even set aside a place for it to shelter. Unexpectedly It's so restless, how dare it come here to make trouble while I'm not around!"

"it?"

Qi Jingzhi was a little surprised when he saw that Lao Man used "it" instead of "they", and then remembered the secret of heaven and earth who had no interest in those money snakes: "Senior means that money snakes seem to be numerous, but in fact there are only a few of them." one?"

"Well, it's called Bronze Essence, and those money snakes belong to it...its..."

Old Mandrill suddenly got stuck, as if he didn't know what words to use to describe it.

He frowned and thought about it, but it didn't prevent him from leaping like flying, passing through the forest and across the ravine. His burly body rose and fell faster than a young man flying in mid-air.

Qi Jingzhi followed behind unhurriedly, while carefully controlling the crane's wings to ensure that he was always flying at a height similar to that of the old Mandrill after leaping, and at the same time, he was distracted to avoid the branches and vines that grew between the old trees. It's like a baby bird that has just learned to fly and inevitably stumbles.

After a while, Old Mandrill finally patted the back of his head, and scratched the frosty snowy hair on the back of his head with his claws: "Those money snakes are the hairs that fell from the bronze spirit!"

"When you get to the snake cave, call out the two tiger boys and Yun Cai, let them block the entrance of the cave, and I will go in and catch it!"

Qi Jingzhi naturally agreed with his whole mouth, knowing that Lao Man saw the copper coins on the ground outside the hall, recognized the power of the tiger's evil jasper chime, and wanted to close the door and beat the dog.

One person, one mandrill, flying or jumping, traveling extremely fast, unexpectedly encountered a few big snakes with ten thousand dollars walking in the same direction one after another on the road, I don't know if it was the ones who escaped from the temple before, so I was really annoyed The servants of the mountain god killed them one by one.

Since then, the loose money snakes encountered on the road have gradually increased, but Old Mandrill ignored them, and the mountain lines on his forehead were radiant, and the money snakes turned a blind eye to them.

After a full two sticks of incense, Old Mandrill climbed up a small hill, and finally stopped at the edge of a very narrow and deep mountain stream.

He pointed towards the mountain stream silently, and then turned sideways awkwardly, slipping down with his back close to the stone wall on one side of the mountain stream.

Qi Jingzhi looked down, only to feel that compared to Lao Man's burly and sturdy body, what he saw in front of him was not so much a mountain stream, but a narrow and deep rock crevice.

"This place is not too close to the Moon Mother Temple. If you say that those money snakes just lost their way, I'm afraid it can't be justified. No wonder Senior Mandrill insisted on calling the door to question the crime."

With this thought in his heart, the young man folded his wings and fell into the crevice of the rocks in the mountain stream, using his hands and feet to support the stone walls on both sides and move down.

This mountain stream is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and its shape looks like a gourd with a thin mouth. Fortunately, there are many pits on the rock wall that are obviously dug by human hands, so it is not difficult to climb.

There were many chi-long money snakes crawling around on the stone wall, but Old Mandrill still ignored them. Under the light of the mountain pattern, even if a few of them were accidentally trampled to death, it did not arouse the vigilance of the rest of the money snakes.

Qi Jingzhi followed the route opened by Lao Man all the way down, and after a while, he saw a dark hole.

Seeing the boy coming down, Lao Manu kicked on the stone wall and crashed straight into the cave.

Qi Jingzhi looked at it intently, and saw that this cave was hidden in the shadow of the concave mountain wall, and it couldn't reach the sky or the ground.

On the top of the cave, there is a name engraved in the center: "Spiritual Altar with Three Scenes in Great Cave of Shangqing."

The eight characters are engraved on the right couplet: "May the gods wish the immortals, and please order Lingshan."

Corresponding to a couplet on the left: "Holy and Holy Spirit, named Nine Heavens."

"Hiss, what a breath!"

Seeing that there is such a place in Xiaosong Mountain, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help sighing secretly: "This place is so hidden, there is actually a cave, and I don't know who dug the cave."

The Mingguang iron armor quickly covered his whole body, and the young man jumped into the entrance of the cave, but he didn't go deep. Instead, he took out the tiger's evil jasper chime and tapped it with a hammer facing outside the cave.

The sound of the chime echoed for a long time in the dim mountain stream, and the cloud of tiger smoke sealed the entrance of the cave, and spread to the mountain wall outside, devouring all the money snakes scattered on the entrance of the cave and the mountain wall.

Not long after, there was a roar from the depths of the cave: "Don't let it go!"

Before the roar fell, there was the sound of rustling and crawling, followed by a gust of evil wind.

Qi Jingzhi pulled Jian Renshou out early, the candle in the center of his eyes danced, and he saw a mouth with huge fangs.

He swung the long saber without hesitation, Feihe's saber unfolded, and Ling Xiao's saber was vertical and horizontal.

In the blink of an eye, there was only a clicking sound, and Jian Renshou made a great effort, not only cutting off a fang in the giant mouth, but also knocking the owner of the giant mouth to the ground.

After practicing in Shimen Dongtian for a month, Qi Jingzhi made up for the gaps in the past. Although he never deliberately practiced swordsmanship, he gained a lot of understanding in the shape of the fairy feather and crane, and even witnessed the fight between Xuanji Jun and Jingjiatian Centipede. In the scene, at this moment, the Flying Crane Fist, Crying Crane Method and Wing Washing Power are integrated into the sword posture, which can be described as a strategic plan, and many changes that have never been seen before are immediately produced. It is no longer like a human sword.

Almost at the same time, the Xuanjian of Heaven and Earth flew out from behind his head, and the bright and clear light fell down, illuminating the surroundings with light.

A money snake as thick as a bucket hit the ground heavily, and what flowed out of its mouth was not blood, but pieces of wild money that had lost its charm.

"This is the bronze essence mentioned by Senior Mandrill? It really is not comparable to ordinary money snakes."

Seeing the Xuanjian of Heaven and Earth appearing suddenly, this huge money snake named Bronze Essence immediately became alert, raised its head high, and murmured.

But before the confrontational two sides could fight together, the Bronze Spirit froze all of a sudden, and immediately the whole snake was dragged deep into the cave.

Tiandi Xuanjian immediately rushed forward, biting Bronze Essence's head tightly with the mirror and refused to let go.

All of a sudden, the long snake's body was gradually suspended in the air and straightened. At first it made a rattling sound, and then there was a clang sound, like the sound of a bowstring, or the string of a zither suddenly snapped.

The bronze spirit was broken into two pieces, and besides the wild money gushing out of the snake's fracture, there was also a stone slip with a blue mountain charm falling out.

This change was only in the blink of an eye, and before Qi Jingzhi could stop it, the Xuanjian of Heaven and Earth had already swallowed the head of the Bronze Essence.

At this moment, Old Mandrill rushed out from the depths of the cave, picked up the bluestone slips on the ground, looked at them for a while, and his face revealed a look of surprise: "It turns out that this ancient bronze essence got an ancient mountain slip, No wonder you have the idea of ​​occupying the throne of God!"

"Shanggushan Jane?"

Qi Jingzhi came to help, not to fight for food with that young master, at this moment, seeing the bluestone bamboo slips in Lao Man's hands rising aura, not like ordinary things, but the snake body of the bronze spirit was dull, not half a mountain The rhyme remained, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He stepped forward and looked at the ancient mountain slip, and saw that it was made of a thin piece of bluestone, one foot two inches long, two inches four inches wide, and two inches thick. Stacked, it has the shape of a dragon and a phoenix.

"This is... Daoist Yunzhuan?" Qi Jingzhi was surprised.

The master of Xuandu twice pointed out the spiritual light and bestowed the method of practice, which naturally involved this unique dragon and phoenix script of Taoism.

So, the young man concentrated on identifying it, and read it word by word: "Wuji Ya Sword Attendant Xuan Yun respectfully bows down. His disciple has been relegated to be the Lord of the Mountain for a hundred years."

"Since pleading guilty, he has been guarding the mountains every day, inhaling dragon energy, cultivating human virtues, advocating the truth and performing teachings, helping life and death, and dare not slack off."

"Now that the catastrophe is over, it's like an arrow to return to my heart. I threw myself into Jianling Mountain and recorded the crime of begging for cutting. I was released as if I had been released, and I was so grateful."
