Chapter 6 Tea Stall(1/2)
At noon, the sun was shining brightly, and a simple tea stall was supported under a big tree beside the official road. The big tree was lush with branches and leaves, and the branches were three meters away. The broken sun was scattered between the cracks of the leaves, and there were several tables under the tree. Five or six people had already sat inside. A young man was wearing a towel on his shoulder and greeted the guests, very diligent.
Feng Shuzhu was also among them, sitting near a table on the inside, drinking tea and listening carefully to the people around him chatting.
A rare breeze blew, causing the branches and leaves on the big trees to shake, making a slight sound, bringing a coolness.
"Man, i bowl of tea." The voice of a young woman was heard.
The guy who was looking down to take care of the customer agreed casually, turned around and walked over quickly with the teapot.
Feng Shuzhu looked for the sound, and looked over, but could no longer take it back. I saw a woman in white sitting at the table beside the road, with a tassel bun, whiter than snow, colder as cold as frost, holding a fairy sword in her hand, and a lotus branch was engraved on the hilt of the sword (Note: Hanan's unopened lotus), which was the woman she met on the sidewaishan River that day.
Feng Shuzhu looked at it for a while and suddenly realized that she was actually crushed by the woman's unparalleled temperament. She felt that as soon as she walked into the i, the guests who were originally talking about tea were silent at this time. The entire tea stall was quiet, and everyone seemed to be secretly paying attention to her every move.
The woman looked at everyone with a free expression and turned a blind eye to everyone. She slowly picked up the tea bowl, put it on her lips, took a sip of tea, then gently put it down, and her beautiful eyes looked into the distance along the official road.
After a while, the other guests at the tea stall either had enough rest or had finished drinking tea and checked out one by one.
Under this big tree, only Feng Shuzhu and the young woman were left. The woman seemed to feel something, turned her head slightly, glanced at Feng Shuzhu, seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then said to the guy who was collecting the bowl and placing the table: "My man, how can I go to Luotian Mountain?" Although the sound was not loud, Feng Shuzhu listened with sincerity.
"Oh, this girl, no... the heroine, two hundred miles ahead of the official road is Luotian Mountain, but there is no inn to stay in front of me. Will the heroine stay here temporarily and leave tomorrow morning?" The man pointed his hand into the distance and said enthusiastically.
Hearing this, the young woman did not speak, but stood up, threw down a few copper coins, and said coldly: "Thank you." Then she walked out of the tea stall and walked forward along the official road.
The guy took the copper coins and put them in the pocket of the apron, looking at the young woman's figure as she walked away. After looking at it for a long time, he smiled bitterly, shook his head before leaning over and continuing to wipe the table.
"My man, check out." Feng Shuzhu also threw down a few copper coins and stood up to follow the woman's direction away.
Behind him was the stunned tea stall mate who seemed to think for a long time, shook his head and said to himself: "What's wrong with Luotian Mountain recently? I was a monk a few days ago, and today I was a female hero and a scholar."
"Man, what are you muttering about? I bowl of tea quenching thirst."
The tea stall mate turned around and saw a young Taoist wearing a green sermon robe, a Taoist scarf, and a black sword behind him. He sat down while talking.
The guy hurriedly walked over with a smile, pouring tea and saying, "Master Dao, you don't want to go to Luotian Mountain, right?"
The young Taoist priest took a big sip of tea, looked up at the clerk in surprise and said, "How do you say this?"
The guy smiled and said, "I don't know what happened in recent days. First, the monk I asked about how to walk on Luotian Mountain, and then a few more fools came to me, and I also asked about how to walk on Luotian Mountain. Today, just a while ago, another female hero and a scholar passed by, who also asked about going to Luotian Mountain." As he said, the guy added another bowl of tea in his hand and smiled on his face, "Master Dao, where are you going?"
"How to go to Luotian Mountain?" The young Taoist priest frowned and looked serious, obviously not a joke.
The guy was stunned, his face immediately calmed down, and he exclaimed unconsciously: "Ah?"
"How to get to Luotian Mountain?" The young Taoist priest repeated it again as if he was a little impatient.
"Master Dao, you walk two hundred miles along the official road..." Seeing this, the guy hurriedly smiled.
But before he could speak, the young Taoist priest drank all the remaining tea, threw down a few copper coins, got up and walked, and after walking a few steps, he left another sentence: "Thank you!"
The tea stall mate looked confused and took back i from the background of the Taoist priest. He looked at the copper coins on the table, scratched his ears and cheeks, looked at the direction of Luotian Mountain, turned his head and leaned forward in the opposite direction and looked hard. He seemed to be sure no one had walked past i, and then he began to clean up the dishes.
※※※※※
The moonlight was bleak and fell on the dark town.
The only street in the town is deserted and deserted, with no trace of people. The ground is scattered with broken doors and windows, collapsed bricks and stones, dead branches and leaves, and the ground is full of disgrace. Some of the houses on both sides of the street have traces of burning, and a miserable atmosphere floats in the air.
Feng Shuzhu stood at the end of the street, looking at everything in front of her, with a solemn expression. The Luotian Mountain behind her was filled with red light, as if there were bursts of resentful spirits crying, miserable and miserable.
A golden light broke through the sky and fell in front of Feng Shuzhu. A young monk wearing a gray monk's robe, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and burly figure appeared. Eighteen Buddhist beads were wrapped around his wrists. Except for the one in the middle carved Buddha's head, each of them was round and shining with crystal sandalwood purple.
The young monk clasped his hands together and said as if he was a bell: "Amitabha, I have seen the young master Feng Xing."
"There is no need to be too polite to Master Dakini." Feng Shuzhu withdrew his gaze, sighed slightly, and then said, "I didn't expect that this place is much more miserable than expected."
Master Dakini put down his hand and said with a serious expression: "I was like this when I was a monk. This double-faced Buddha acted ruthlessly and cruelly, as if he had the legacy of the Demon Sect's shadow-confused work in the past."
Feng Shuzhu frowned slightly, turned around, looked at the top of Luotian Mountain, and said suspiciously, "I don't know what the situation is in the mountain."
"The entire Luotian Mountain has been caged by red light. After several days of observation, this red light can be entered or not. Occasionally, birds and beasts accidentally entered the mountain. There was nothing unusual when they entered. Once they walked out, they were injured by the red light. After a few days, they were frustrated and died of death." The Dark Master said while pointing at Luotian Mountain.
"It is able to cover the entire mountain, and it has been so long that it is not affected by the celestial phenomena and geography. This double-faced Buddha's ability is indeed extraordinary. Did Master Dakini hear about this person?" Feng Shuzhu stared at Luotian Mountain Road.
Upon hearing this, Kongxing shook his head and said, "I am lonely and never heard of this person. Some of them are masters of demonic devils who have lived in seclusion for a long time. Otherwise, why would he have such great ability?"
Feng Shuzhu withdrew her gaze, looked at the Divine Walk, and said, "If this is true, the two-faced Buddha is here to mobilize many people and make great contributions, what are they going to do?"
Knight nodded slightly and said slowly: "I vaguely feel that everything that happened here should be related to the shadow confusion of the Demon Sect."
Feng Shuzhu's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "What do you mean by this? Please let the master tell me clearly."
Kongxing took a small step to the side, turned his head again to look at Luotian Mountain covered by red light, and said worriedly: "The Demon Sect Yinghu wants to break out of the ground when the earth veins change for two hundred years. His capable subordinates in the past will definitely prepare in advance. This should be a mutual demonstration."
Feng Shuzhu pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you know that the shadow of the Demon Sect is confused by the subordinates of the past, is there a double-faced Buddha?"
Knight retreated his gaze and said, "Before going down the mountain, I heard from my master that there was no such person as the two-faced Buddha under the Delivery Sect in the past, but there were many followers of the Demon Sect and were regarded as the leader of the Demonic Taoism for hundreds of years. His power and scope are not something that can be seen by every sect."
Feng Shuzhu thought for a long time before saying, "Is there any demonic master behind this double-faced Buddha?"
Kwangxing recited the Buddha's name and shook his head and said, "I have no way to judge this matter, but according to the situation shown by the red light, there must be a master of demonic path here. However, Kwangming, the junior brother of Ms., has sent the poisoned birds and beasts back to the temple. Please recommend it to me."
Feng Shuzhu nodded and said, "I wonder what the two-faced Buddha has done recently?"
The hollows turned around and looked at the town and sighed: "The people in the township that are dozens of miles apart are caught up by him. Sometimes there are minions patrolling the mountain or taking workers down the mountain to carry wood. There is no other phenomenon."
Feng Shuzhu said: "But I don't know if Master Knight Xing has ever had any encounters with the demons on the mountain since then?"
The Divine Walker stood with one hand and recited the Buddha's name. He said with guilt: "I am unable to break this red light, so I can only retreat to this demonic demon."
Feng Shuzhu frowned slightly and said, "Has the mage made an appointment with other sword immortals in the righteous path?"
Kongxing put down his hand and said, "Before going down the mountain, my master told me that in addition to asking Feng Shaoxia, Kongjue Temple also sent someone to Guiguan to inform Zhenren Xuanqing."
Feng Shuzhu nodded slightly and pondered for a long time and said, "I don't know what Master Dakini plans?"
Master Knight looked at Feng Shuzhu, turned to Luotian Mountain again, and slowly said: "The magic power of the two-faced Buddha is unfathomable. The demons and demons gather here for power, and there are many people. When my junior brother Kong Ming returns to the temple to ask for his order, he asks the master to make plans after he decides."
Feng Shuzhu heard this and pondered for a moment, then said, "I wonder how many demons are there in the mountains?"
"According to recent observations, there are no less than a hundred demons who have defected to the Double-faced Buddha."
When Feng Shuzhu heard this, he frowned and said, "I wonder when Master Kongming will be able to return?"
"The fastest seven days." After the hollow, he looked at the distance and remained silent.
Feng Shuzhu also pondered, and after a while, he said, "Where is the Divine Sword Master?"
Upon hearing this, Kongxing pointed to the side and said, "I am temporarily staying in a small temple, and I will go down not far along this town."
"Okay, then let's wait for a few days. When Feng investigates the situation here, if you find out, go to the small temple to meet with the master." Feng Shuzhu said slowly.
"Then I will take the lead, Young Master Feng must be cautious." After saying that, Master Dakini had turned into a golden light and flew towards the small temple.
After watching Master Dark Walking leave in the air, Feng Shuzhu looked up at the starry sky and identified the direction. His face was as deep as water. He walked alone on the mountain road with the moonlight.
It was quiet along the way, but occasionally I heard a few insects in the grass, but the closer I got to Luotian Mountain, the more I felt a evil spirit floating in the air. The fierceness of this evil spirit made Feng Shuzhu start to frown, and a green fluorescent light began to flow continuously in her sleeves.
Looking up, you can see a faint red light in front of you. The red light came from the top of Luotian Mountain, and the entire mountain was shrouded in it. Although it was night at this time, under the red light, every grass and tree on the mountain was clearly visible. Where the breeze passed, the grass and trees swayed.
Suddenly, there was a rustling deep in the grass, and a slight sound was heard. Feng Shuzhu looked closely and saw a big toad with black and white skin, with patterns on his side, with many protruding bumps on his back, two round eyes on his head, with a wide and large mouth. After using his front paws to spread the grass, he paused for a moment, as if observing the movements around him, then his front paws slightly moved, and he kicked his hind legs hard, and with a "swoosh", he jumped into the red light.
After the big toad landed, it seemed to feel illuminated by red light, so it stood still. Feng Shuzhu observed carefully that the big toad did not show any abnormality. While thinking, the big toad turned around and crawled out of the red light. He only crawled two steps, and with a force on his hind legs, he jumped up again with a "swoosh". But as soon as he passed through the red light, the big toad's body made a slight burst sound. After landing, it paused for a long time before slowly crawling away.
Feng Shuzhu saw this process clearly. Since the red light jumped out, there were obviously several ruptured wounds on the toad's skin, with black liquid flowing, which seemed to be poisoned and had a slight fishy smell.
Feng Shuzhu was thinking, and suddenly the voice of someone was heard from the front.
"They are happy and lively on the mountain, and let us brothers watch the mountain at night."
Hearing this, Feng Shuzhu's figure shook and hid into the woods.
"Yes, the entire Luotian Mountain is covered by the Seven Evil Tianluo Mirror, but the boss is still worried."
I saw two monks wearing red monk robes and open chests and showing their arms complaining while walking.
"Hey, there seems to be someone swaying in front of you." One of the short monks pointed to the direction where Feng Shuzhu was.
"Where is it, where?" The tall monk stretched his neck and looked carefully.
"Just in the woods in front of me, I seemed to be a woman in blue." The short monk said with a little thoughtfulness.
"Pa".
With a crisp sound, the tall monk hit the short monk's bald head and said angrily: "You are crazy about women. There are no women in this wilderness. Besides, haven't all the women nearby caught up on the mountain?"
The short monk touched the bald head who was beaten and muttered with grievance: "I clearly saw it."
The tall monk pulled him and said, "Okay, okay, we have to go back to the mountain to change shifts. It's really tiring to walk this round." After saying that, regardless of the short monk, he turned around and walked up the mountain.
The short monk stretched his neck and looked at the woods for a while before turning around and chasing him. While running, he looked back and looked back.
The figures of the two monks quickly disappeared on the dark mountain road. Feng Shuzhu flashed out of the forest, nodded gently, raised his mouth slightly, and glanced at the top of the tree from the corner of his eyes, without speaking.
Suddenly, the branches and leaves in the forest moved, and a young Taoist wearing a green sacred robe, a Taoist scarf, and a black sword behind him. He smiled and bowed to Feng Shuzhu, saying, "I have seen the young master Feng."
Feng Shuzhu was slightly stunned and immediately replied, "Fellow Taoist Jingchenzi, don't have to be too polite."
The young Taoist who claimed to be Jingchenzi bowed and said, "I am hereby the order of my master Xuanqing to find out the truth of Luotian Mountain."
When Feng Shuzhu heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I want to go to Xianshan to visit the real person, but I don't want to be delayed by this matter. How can I ask the real person always be?"
"Thank you for your concern for Feng Shaoxia. Everything is fine for your family master. Before going down the mountain, my family master has a letter. I am the only one who is born to send to Jinsi Xiaozhu where the young hero lives. I don't want to meet him here, so I will save you a lot of traveling. Please check it out." Jingchenzi said, taking out a letter and handing it to Feng Shuzhu.
After Feng Shuzhu took the letter, he opened his reading and nodded. After reading it, he put it in his sleeve and said to Jingchenzi: "Mystery Xuanqing is indeed a god. The letter mentioned the gathering of demons on Luotian Mountain. The person who was headed should be Yan Shoutian, the shepherd god under the Demon Sect Yinghuo seat. This Demon Lord has an innate magic weapon called the Seven Evil Tianluo Mirror, which is extremely powerful."
