Chapter 12 Cang Wuzi

Ji Hongjing had already styled his hair and trimmed his beard. He had changed into a set of blue treasure clothes and was sitting in the room drinking tea.

The shopkeeper opened the door and asked the worshiper to go ahead, then followed him into the room.

Although the person in front of me has an ordinary appearance, there is an inexplicable aura surrounding him. He is wearing a blue treasured clothing with various mysterious patterns on the collar and cuffs. If you look closely, there are some dark patterns embroidered on the clothing, which is low-key. Luxury, how can you still look like a beggar?
  "Greetings, senior." When the priest saw Ji Hongjing, he quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Without courtesy, please take a seat."

The two sat down solemnly opposite Ji Hongjing, and heard the giggles of a little girl in the inner room, and then a girl's voice said, "Okay, dry yourself and change clothes. Sister will help you comb your hair."

Ji Hongjing looked at the monk in front of him. He was old, his energy and blood were beginning to wither, his cultivation level was no higher than the life spring realm, and he couldn't even fly. He thought that he made a sacrifice in this mortal town because there was no possibility of going any further.

"I don't know what you call your friend?" Ji Hongjing asked.

"Senior, my junior's surname is Zhang. In his early years, he took the Taoist nickname Cangwuzi."

Cang Wuzi was much older than Ji Hongjing, but he claimed to be a junior, but Ji Hongjing accepted him well. After all, in the spiritual world, those who are advanced are respected.

Ji Hongjing said to Cangwuzi calmly: "Fellow Taoist Cangwuzi, I don't have anything that can be exchanged for mortal money. I would like to ask you to exchange some money for me so that I can pay the store. I wonder if it can be convenient." ?”

"I don't have any money with me. I don't know how much I need. How can I raise it?" Cang Wuzi said cautiously, thinking that Ji Hongjing wanted a lot of money.

"You don't need a lot, just a hundred and ten taels."

The shopkeeper on the side quickly answered, "Two immortals, I still have some gold and silver in my account, why don't I go get it and give it to this immortal."

Ji Hongjing shook his head and said: "The things I have on me are a disaster to you. I'd better exchange them with fellow Taoist Cang Wuzi."

As soon as Cang Wuzi's eyes lit up, he wanted to get up and get the money. The shopkeeper quickly continued: "The villain will bring the money first, and the immortal will exchange it with the enshrined master. After that, the enshrined master will send someone to bring it to save the two immortals." Long wait.”

Ji Hong nodded, and the shopkeeper hurried out to withdraw money.

When the shopkeeper came back with a plate of gold and silver, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman led the little girl out of the inner room. The little girl had two pigtails on her head and wore slightly oversized clothes. Very lively and cute.

"Big brother." The little girl called out sweetly and ran towards Ji Hongjing. Ji Hongjing smiled and supported her.

"Brother is rich, let's go and pay back the money to the bun shop uncle first, and then take you to eat delicious food, okay?" Ji Hongjing said to the little girl softly.

"Well, thank you, big brother!" The little girl nodded obediently, with a hopeful look on her face, and said, "My girl is very hungry. She hasn't eaten enough for a long time."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something. He ran to his old dirty clothes and rummaged around. After a while, he took out a small crystal clear stone. It had seven kinds of brilliance flowing around it. It looked like it was not a mortal thing at first glance.

"Big brother... give it to you." The little girl held up the small stone to Ji Hongjing.

Ji Hongjing looked at the small stone and knew that it was a rare divine object in the world, but he controlled his desire and said to the little girl: "Brother, no need, you can put it away yourself."

The little girl forcefully put the small stone into Ji Hongjing's hand, shook her head behind her hands and said, "Brother, please accept it, otherwise I will have nothing to repay you with."

As if she was afraid that Ji Hongjing would not accept it, the little girl continued: "Brother, the little stones are edible. They are very sweet and can keep my daughter from being hungry for many days."

Ji Hongjing was speechless for a moment, even though he knew the identity of the little girl, he felt sad.

After hearing this, the woman on the side took a piece of cake from her purse, knelt down and handed it to the little girl, saying, "Eat this first, the chestnut cake is very sweet."

"Thank you, sister!" The little girl thanked her happily.

Ji Hongjing looked at the woman and found that he had no suitable gift. Then he looked at Cang Wuzi and saw a jade pendant around his waist. Although the jade pendant was of poor quality in his eyes, it was good jade suitable for mortals to wear. , so he asked Cang Wuzi for it.

"Fellow Daoist Cangwuzi, can you exchange the jade pendant around your waist with me?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Wuzi quickly took off his jade pendant and gave it to Ji Hongjing with both hands.

"I give this jade pendant to you to express my feelings. I hope you can accept it." Ji Hongjing took the jade pendant and handed it to the woman.

"This..." The woman hesitated a little and couldn't help but look at the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper nodded, she accepted the jade pendant and said, "Thank you, Immortal!"

Ji Hongjing turned to look at Cang Wuzi, thought about the items on his body, and said to him: "Tell me what you want, and I will see if there is anything suitable that I can exchange with you?"

"A little money is not worth much, senior, don't bother." Cang Wuzi bowed and said.

After hearing this, Ji Hongjing couldn't just deal with him casually, so he couldn't help but think carefully about what was suitable for him.

"Your cultivation level is too low. If I give you the magic weapon and elixir, it will harm you." He looked at the teapot on the table and continued: "This tea is a farewell gift from others. It is also a rare and good tea. I I’ll give you one or two, and make a pot of it when you practice. It’s a little stronger than the ordinary pills in the Wheel and Sea Realm.” Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the dirty clothes before, pointed at the tattered clothes he had changed, and said, “The ones on this robe are Although the formation is broken, the materials are pretty good, so you can take them back as well."

"Thank you, senior." Cang Wuzi thought that this senior might be a Taoist monk, so he didn't dislike him at all and quickly thanked him.

Cang Wuzi and others left, and a quarter of an hour later Ji Hongjing also took his little girl to look for delicious food in the city.

In the next few days, Ji Hongjing played with his little girl every day. When he got up in the morning, he would go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers. When he was tired, he would go back to the city to find various delicacies. In his spare time, he would study several secret techniques of the ruthless emperor. He no longer thinks about practicing the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Technique, and lives a carefree life.

On this night of the full moon, Ji Hongjing and his little girl agreed to go to the mountain to watch the moon. They prepared delicious food early and took it to the mountain to enjoy.

When they arrived at the mountain, the little girl happily caught fireflies, while Ji Hongjing sat on the grass beside him, happily looking at the bright moon in the sky.

At this time, two figures flew over, stopped in front of Ji Hongjing, and said loudly: "Taoist friends are welcome."

Ji Hongjing frowned and looked at the person who came. The leader of the two could only transform into a dragon. Behind him was a monk from the Wheel Sea Realm. The monk from the Wheel Sea Realm couldn't even fly and was brought here by the leader.

The Lun Hai cultivator was holding a man with blurred skin in his right arm. After a closer look, he discovered that it was Cang Wuzi.

"Who are you?" Ji Hongjing said indifferently, protecting his little girl behind him.

"Zhou Bing, the elder of the Qixia Sect, the poor Taoist, my Taoist friend scared my great-grandson out of his wits in Liuzhou City. Should I give an explanation to the poor Taoist?"

Zhou Bing returned to Liuzhou City this time to select a few qualified people from the clan to serve him. Unexpectedly, the clan members cried to him and complained that their great-grandson was frightened by the outside monks.

Zhou Bing didn't care at all whether the useless great-grandson was dead or alive. He only cared about the face of his Qixia sect elder. He heard from his tribe that the foreign monk finally flew away. The cultivation level of the Yan country was generally not high. He thought that man was not good enough. Shenqiao's cultivation level didn't even think about a higher realm.

"Since your Excellency wants to cause trouble for me, why would you hurt fellow Taoist Cangwuzi?" Ji Hongjing looked at the injured Cangwuzi and said to Zhou Bing.

"Cang Wuzi, as a worshiper in the city, sits back and watches the people in the city being bullied by the monks. Naturally, the poor Taoist can deal with him."

After hearing this, Ji Hongjing was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He raised his hand and grabbed Zhou Bing with a huge palm print. Zhou Bing did not expect that Ji Hongjing would be so decisive. He used his magic power to hit the palm print, but the magic power hit the palm print like a fly. Shaking the tree, he realized that he had hit an iron plate, and his face instantly turned pale.

Ji Hongjing didn't want to listen to their nonsense, so he restrained their whole bodies and turned to support Cang Wuzi.

At this time, Cangwuzi was in extremely miserable condition, with his skin and flesh all over his body. Ji Hongjing used magic power to help him heal his wounds, and found that Cangwuzi's foundation had been destroyed and he didn't have much time left.

"Fellow Daoist Cangwuzi, I'm sorry, it was me who caused you trouble!" Ji Hongjing said guiltily.

Cang Wuzi looked better at this time and said to Ji Hongjing, "Senior, there is no need to feel guilty. Zhou Bing did not deal with me because of his stupid great-grandson."

"Since Zhou Bing reached the realm of transforming into a dragon and became an elder of the Qixia Sect, all the major forces in the Yan Kingdom have come to the Zhou family to show their hospitality. However, after Zhou Bing became an elder of the Qixia Sect, he did not return to the family for hundreds of years, so the major forces stopped interacting with each other. , even so, the Zhou family can still dominate Liuzhou City. Being so ignorant of restraint has naturally offended many people. It is not that there were no Zhou family members who were killed by monks in the past. In the past, the head of the Zhou family would not dare to even ask a question. Offend me..."

Cang Wuzi paused and continued: "This time the Zhou family summoned me. I thought it was just a routine question. I didn't expect that Zhou Bing, who had not returned to the family for hundreds of years, was also in the family. I don't know him. The Zhou family Accusing me of not protecting the people in the city, they didn’t believe me no matter how I explained my senior’s advanced cultivation, and in the end I couldn’t help but quarrel with them.”

Cang Wuzi said helplessly: "If I knew Zhou Bing's appearance and knew that he was also in the clan, I wouldn't have quarreled with them. I didn't control my mouth and said unpleasant words, and Zhou Bing beat me at that time One palm."

Cangwuzi took a breath and continued: "I made the inner armor from the clothes given to me by my seniors. Zhou Bing's palm did not hurt me but exposed the inner armor. Zhou Bing saw that the material of the inner armor was so good. , forced me to ask where this came from, and I refused to tell the whereabouts of my senior, so he beat me like this."

"The material of the clothes is just common spiritual silk. I bought it specifically to work among the casual cultivators. How come this is so popular?" Ji Hongjing asked puzzledly.

"Senior, the best treasure I have ever seen in my life is this silk!" Cang Wuzi smiled helplessly.

"Then just bring them to me. Why bother with him?" Ji Hongjing said hurriedly, slightly embarrassed.

"The heads of the six caves of the Yan Kingdom are only Taoist monks. I thought that the highest level of seniors was Taoist monks. That Zhou Bing was a Dragon Transformation monk, and he relied on the Qixia Sect. I received favors from my seniors, how could I betray them? What?" Cang Wuzi was excited, and he changed his words and continued: "Besides, if Zhou Bing was just asking for money, he would not harm my life. But when he was questioning me, he had been inquiring about the little girl who was following my senior. I I felt something was wrong and refused to answer honestly, so I was beaten like this by him."

"Why did he ask the little girl?" Ji Hongjing had doubts in his heart. Cang Wuzi shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

After talking for a while, Cang Wuzi was about to die. Ji Hongjing quickly increased his mana output and said at the same time: "Your foundation has been destroyed and your origin has been lost. I have no way to save you. Do you have any last wishes?"

Cang Wuzi was extremely weak at this time and could only say intermittently: "I am just... a casual cultivator... I have no children and no daughters. I have no regrets in this life to meet... a... monk like my senior... I just want to ask ...Senior, what kind of cultivation is senior? Are there really...immortals...immortals...in this world?"

"I am a cultivator of the first level of Xiantai..." Ji Hongjing answered the first question. He didn't know how to answer the second question for a moment. Thinking that this is the last obsession of an immortal cultivator, Ji Hongjing still answered, "There are immortals in the world!" As he spoke, he pulled the little girl in front of him.

Cang Wuzi's eyes suddenly opened wide in shock, and he breathed his last with a smile.

"Grandpa, wuwuwu..." Although the little girl only met Cang Wuzi once, she still couldn't help crying for him. Maybe she, who is kind and pure, will feel sad for every life that passes away...
