Old Fogey Goes Down The Mountain

The Taoist friends of the New South Daoist Association were like dreams and illusions, Zhang Pang was more confused than them, only Wei Xi nodded half-understanding.

No wonder Hei Wuchang has been away for so long and has not seen the rendezvous. It turns out that he has rushed to Xinnan City God to do anti-corruption work.

The big leaders who are based in Fengdu personally went out to arrest corruption. It is unnecessary to describe how hastily the Xinnan City God's Department has been messed up. Just look at the speed with which the group of underworld servants who rushed to the scene extinguished the paper money incense.The underworld messengers watched the burning paper money being extinguished, and at the same time they were very upset with Zhang Pang——

Last night, Hei Wuchang parachuted into the local City God's Department without any warning. The local City God was so shocked that he didn't even have time to count the incense sticks of believers, so he hurriedly called his confidants to start the reception work.As a result, as soon as I met the big leader, I was scolded even before the reception meal was mentioned. After the big leader finished scolding the city god, it was not counted, and the land department and land in each district of Xinnan were recruited and reprimanded one by one. At that time, the whole city god The company's underworld servants were all trembling with fright, and when they asked later, they realized that it was his own underworld servants who made extra money and got it on the heads of the brothers in the capital!And just happened to be bumped face-to-face by the big leader who had just rushed to the capital from Fengdu.

Losing face and leaving the province, can this be tolerated?

The city gods and the land were angry at the big leaders, so it goes without saying when they turned around, they must vent it on the subordinates.Those who were reprimanded in the second half of the night became their ghosts, and each of them was scolded like a grandson.After this kind of thing happened, they definitely don't have to think about the year-end evaluation of Xinnan City God in Fengdu.If the evaluation is not good, the salary and benefits will be affected. What's more, if this kind of embarrassing thing is spread, the city gods in other places may not know how to make a joke after they know it.

The whole of Xinnan, from Chenghuang to Mingchai, felt ashamed.

The cause of the incident is not difficult to find out. The one who was brought back by the big leader went to the end, and finally the establishment of the entrance examination was cancelled. Made it on the leader!Cheng Huang checked and almost died of anger.The salary of the City God's Secretary is not high, and the occasional extra money is originally a small benefit that everyone tacitly understands. The subordinates are engaged in income generation, and the City God himself does it.Gray income!What does gray income mean?It means you have to keep a low profile!Xiushengjiao is good, and it is well known that it has made a lot of contacts. Even the Taoist priests in Yangjian know that he has something to do with Chenghuangsi. How can this make Chenghuangsi maintain its credibility in the industry? !

If it has developed to this level, it is impossible not to investigate. The special case team was formed very quickly, causing the entire Xinnan City God Division to enter a crackdown period overnight. Who wouldn't be angry if they lost money?

The underworld servants were angry, and they did things extraordinarily. They all acted sternly and selflessly towards Zhang Pang, and even took out their law enforcement records to record, intending to kill all the other black sheep in the local area who were in league with him. Find out!

The Taoist priests standing in the distance seemed to be in a dream, watching the scene of Zhang Pang being interrogated by his accomplices in a trance, and felt that they had done unprecedented rituals and witnessed history.

While interrogating Zhang Pang, Mingchai secretly glanced at Wei Xi. This is the Director Wei who stabbed the sky out...

Zhang Pang fell into an unprecedented predicament. Even the betrayal of the Yin soldiers just now did not give him such despair. The little apprentice on the side asked him in a panic: "Master... Master, what should we do now? If the world cooperates to enforce the law, we will be hit hard!"

Zhang Pang suddenly turned his gaze to him, and the dark gaze made the little fat man's hairs stand on end: "Master, master?"

Zhang Pang suddenly smiled, and looked at him softly: "Meng Xiaoming, Master has raised you for so many years, and he has always treated you the best among all the brothers in the master's school, right?"

This is absolutely the truth, the little fat man nodded trustingly.

Zhang Pang asked with satisfaction: "Then today, are you willing to work hard for Master once?"

The extinguished incense in front gave off the last puff of thick smoke, and the nearby ghosts secretly took two more puffs while being stern and selfless. The little fat man was stunned by the smoke, and then quickly shook his head: "That's still not enough. No."

Zhang Pang: "..."

*****

Zhang Pang's smile faded a bit, and the priests in front saw some clues, and after recovering, they couldn't believe that he still refused to accept his fate: "Zhang Pang, you have nowhere to go!"

At any rate, he is someone who has cooperated with him before. Although the quarrel is breaking up now, the law enforcement officials are also a little bit impatient: "I heard that you organized a cult and caused a lot of harm to people. Is it possible that the whole world is a king, and now we have higher-ups watching. You have to cooperate with the arrest operation, if you can't escape, it's better to accept the trial of the Yangjian government."

Zhang Pang sneered: "Is it the king's land under the whole world? What are you kidding? You can just take care of this one-third of an acre of land. Could it be that you can also take care of the United States?"

The messengers: "..."

Taoists: "..."

It was the first time for Wei Xi to accept this kind of national topic, and he was a little at a loss: "Isn't the United States under the control of our yamen?"

The priests who heard this thought subconsciously, and came to the conclusion after a long time: "Religions are indeed different, and they believe in God more..."

Tuanjieyi was shocked: "The country has been engaged in globalization and overseas aid for so many years, and now there are embassies. Haven't our Yin Cao Division established diplomatic relations with them?"

Ming Chai held the chain and said, "...it seems that the leader has never mentioned it before."

Hearing this, Zhang Pang took two steps back, stared coldly at the astonished opponents in front of him, and his voice became cheerful: "Unexpectedly, right? I knew you were coming, so I left a way out for myself early, transferred overseas assets, and contacted The lawyer applied for political asylum. Now that I have all the passports and visas in my hand, I don’t believe that you poor Taoists are powerful enough to restrict me from leaving the country.”

The poor Taoist priests present all said that they really did not expect that the monks live in poverty and few can go out to travel. Who would have thought that those who run cults are so rich now, if they immigrate to the United States, they can immigrate to the United States and have overseas assets.

Wei Xi couldn't help showing envy. This colleague seemed to be doing better than the priests around him, so he was his target.

But in this situation, the priests still had to fight, and confronted Zhang Pang: "You can't escape."

Zhang Pang was extremely calm. As expected of a MLM background, he remained unruffled in such an embattled situation: "How do you know whether I can escape or not?"

After finishing speaking, he leaned over and took the arm of the little fat man who was already trembling, and said kindly: "Xiao Ming, I'm afraid you don't want to this time, so you have to."

The little fat man stared at him blankly, with tears rolling down his eyes, he said cautiously: "Master, you, don't scare me..."

There was a smile on Zhang Pang's face, but he looked at him extremely coldly, and then he didn't know where the strength came from, and he lifted the fat and puffy him up, and before everyone had time to react, he lifted him up. He pushed heavily in the direction of the crowd.

The priests are quite confused, what use can this crying little fat man do?Zhang Pangda yelled, "Luqing! Come here!"

The tall, thin man who was still sad in the crowd glanced at him, and was stunned, as if he knew what he was going to do. He looked at the little fat man who was staggering and called himself "Senior Brother" and "Senior Brother", showing hesitation.

Seeing this, Zhang Pang frowned: "Luqing!"

The tall and thin man gritted his teeth, and finally got up. No one from the Taicang Sect was near him at the moment. He escaped like a catfish from the capture of the Taoist priests beside him, and then ran towards Zhang Pang. past.The crowd followed closely behind him.

But Zhang Pang moved extremely fast. He quickly pulled out a knife and cut his arm severely. Then he grabbed the tall and thin hand and cut his middle finger.

At this time, the priests had already rushed to his side, and pressed him to the ground with all hands and feet. His blood was scattered all over the ground in such a random way. He almost lifted his feet off the ground.

After standing still, he looked up, and saw the second apprentice staring at him solemnly: "Don't go there!"

Wei Xi froze for a moment, turned his gaze to the crowd, and suddenly realized something.

Zhang Pang's blood was sprinkled on the ground behind the incense table where he was standing, and there was an inscription there!The blood quickly divided into several strands and spread out, the shape made his eyes suddenly blurred, and then an indescribable restlessness surged in his heart.

It seemed that the smell of blood rushed to the tip of his nose in an instant, causing his endless appetite and the faint killing intent deep in his heart to start an unspeakable commotion. There were so many living human beings... He opened his mouth unconsciously, and looked aside. Noticing his change, Tuanyiyi exclaimed: "Master, why are your eyes red?!"

But the voice also became far away, making it almost impossible for Wei Xi to hear it clearly.

Fortunately, at this moment, a wave of warmth covered his face, covering his wide-open eyes.

The arm of the second apprentice was also trembling slightly, as if he was holding back something, the veins on his arm burst out, but the smell of the palm of his hand and the calm voice remained the same as before: "Close your eyes, don't look."

The sound filled his ears, and in the darkness, Wei Xi raised his hand to hold the apprentice's thin and strong wrist, touching several clear scars with his fingertips, and he subconsciously obeyed without thinking much.After he couldn't see it, the murderous intent in his body gradually calmed down, but at this moment, the Taoist priests in the distance suddenly screamed, followed by the little fat man's sharp cry——

"Master! I hurt! I hurt!!"

His mind was clear for an instant, and he turned his head to look at the source of the sound. The little fat man who was thrown away still ran back to Zhang Pang's side without giving up, but at this moment he seemed to be suffering inhuman pain, grabbing his clothes on the chest all over the floor roll over.

As he screamed, his voice suddenly changed, becoming short and sharp, like the mournful cry of a wild animal.

In the next moment, there was a sudden explosion at the scene, and the incense table that Zhang Pang had placed just now was swept away, and the smoke and dust filled the room. Wherever everyone looked, the one that replaced the little fat man rolling all over the floor suddenly became another huge monster.

Covered tightly on Zhang Pang's blood, this huge monster is struggling and crawling frantically. It has a turtle's back with long limbs and head protruding from the turtle's back. It looks very much like a turtle, but its head and tail are Long and winding like a snake.

It is really too big, so big that people are surprised, the screams are deafening, and the sweeping head and tail are even more unstoppable. When the tail is thrown away, the big tree with the thick mouth of the bowl will break down without any resistance. into two halves.However, compared to its powerful destructive power, its existence is even more unbelievable. The priests at the scene have recognized its identity from its iconic appearance, and they couldn't help shouting in astonishment: "Xuanwu?!"

Tuanjieyi, a layman, couldn't help being a little dumbfounded: "Xuanwu? The Xuanwu of Qinglong Suzaku? Isn't this a sacred beast enshrined by Taoism?! Wait, aren't these mythical beasts legends? They really exist?"

Wei Xi couldn't see Zhang Pang's blood, and his mind was already sober. At this moment, he just looked at the chaos in front of him in a little confusion. He had never been very clear about these things, but the second apprentice who was guarding behind him seemed to know something. Not so good: "They've always been there, they just disappeared over 100 years ago."

100 years?Wei Xi was unexpectedly sensitive to this number, and Tuanyiyi was also very curious: "More than 100 years ago? Why did it disappear more than 100 years ago?"

Wei Xi looked back at the second apprentice, who was also looking at him with calm and deep eyes: "You want to know?"

Wei Xi nodded, but the second apprentice didn't seem to want to answer. He just straightened the hair on his forehead as before, and said thoughtfully: "I thought these spirit beasts should have been extinct long ago, but I didn't expect them to return." Leaving one of them probably depends on the Great Wilderness Seal Formation on Yucheng Mountain."

For more than 100 years, the simplified seal array was obviously placed in a hurry. Rather than a seal, its function is more like protection. The wind and rain, coupled with the unstable foundation, have not much effect today.

But this kind of avoidance made it survive and at the same time lost the inheritance memory it should have. No wonder it was accepted by a half-assed person like Zhang Pang.

He could almost see the past scene from this. At the moment before the collapse of the Heavenly Dao, countless believers transported a dying Xuanwu here, and then hurriedly covered its traces from the Heavenly Dao.

This is true for Xuanwu, but what about Weixi?

After losing so much blood, Zhang Pang didn't feel any pain at all, but was very satisfied with the chaos on the scene.He didn't even look at the big snake turtle struggling in his summoning formation, but quickly bandaged himself and got up to escape.Seeing the tall and thin apprentice stunned in place, he shouted in dissatisfaction: "Lu Qing!"

The tall and thin man came back to his senses, remained silent for a moment, and followed him while covering his painful hand.

Seeing that he was about to run, the priests present all panicked: "Stop!"

However, the scene was in chaos. Xuanwu, who appeared out of nowhere and went berserk, had disrupted everyone's plans, and no one could get past it to hold Zhang Pang down.Zhang Pang obviously knew his own advantages, and before leaving, he never forgot to show a smile on his pale face: "Come to me when you can control it."

The battle situation at the scene immediately turned around, and the priests showed despair—not to mention that this was a sacred beast enshrined in their own system, they did not dare to attack lightly, even if they did, such a big irrational tortoise, with a light-sweeping tail It is a weapon with huge lethality, what spells can they use to deal with it? !

Zhang Pang saw their embarrassment, and the smile on his face grew wider. At this moment, a faint sound of wind suddenly came from the sharp howling in his ears.

Puff puff.

It was the muffled sound of something sinking into the body. After a few times, Xuanwu's heart-piercing screams began to become lower and lower, and the frequency of tail sweeping also became stagnant and slow.

Both sides in the war were stunned. Everyone including Zhang Pang realized that something was wrong, and slowly, slowly, turned their attention to the direction of Taicangzong.

Wei Xi lowered his head and asked, "What are you doing?"

Goudan, who was squatting at his feet, held a strange small barrel and something like a needle in his hand, raised his head and said in a daze, "...Boss, I got this from the dog thief the other day. The dog-stealing anesthetic, I want to try to see if it works.”

As he spoke, he installed another anesthetic needle into the long barrel, then raised it to his eyes, and pressed the trigger.

The needle tube was pulled out of the long barrel by him, and it went straight into Xuanwu's tail that was too long, and everyone took a closer look, only to find that a dense row of anesthetic needles had been stuck into that tail.

Everyone: "..."

This dose is enough to knock down a herd of elephants. After all, Xuanwu, who was in a frenzy, couldn't hold on anymore. He was defeated by this last injection. He closed his eyes, and his limbs, head and tail were unconsciously paralyzed.

The place was quiet.

Goudan: "It really works! No wonder those brothers who were targeted couldn't escape. Dog thieves are really condemned!"

Everyone: "…………………"

Zhang Pang, who was about to run away: "........."

*******

The priests feel very confused, yes, why were all the Taoism methods that should be used in the mind just now, now it is the age of science and technology, and anesthetics are much better than thunder charms.

Everyone reacted quickly, and pressed Master Zhang Pang, who had fallen into new self-doubt, to the ground.Zhang Pang really had no way out, and shouted in disbelief: "How is it possible! How is it possible!!"

He found this basalt by accident in the mountains. It was auspicious, and his luck flourished day by day. After he was accepted into the teacher's school, it was his trump card of fighting power that he had kept secret all along. How could it be so easy? Get knocked down? !

The fact that the Taoist beast was turned into a dog thief's anesthesia gun did not make the Taoist priests feel much better, but facing Zhang Pang, everyone quickly accepted this reality.At the scene, a young Taoist who was injured was so demoralized that he punched and kicked him, insulting him as he beat him: "It's useless for you to come from a pyramid scheme. I never thought that you would be so stupid that you could immigrate to the United States. The truth that technology changes the world is so amazing." Haven't realized it yet!"

Zhang Pang: "..."

After hearing these words, Wei Xi seemed to have realized something, raised his hand and patted his head, looked up at his dog with watery eyes: "Good job."

I didn't expect technology to be so useful. It seems that some changes should take place in the way my sect practices in the future.

As he spoke, he looked at the huge Xuanwu greedily, and moved two steps closer.

His arm was suddenly pulled, and he looked back. The second apprentice had been silent since Goudan opened his mouth with an anesthesia gun just now. On his body, there seemed to be blood vessels beating in the forehead.

After a long while, I finally made a sound: "...This is not edible, it has anesthesia."

****

Wei Xi sneaked a bite while he wasn't paying attention, and he bit the tip of his tail, and his tongue started to tingle. He suddenly realized that what the apprentice said was right, no matter how greedy he was, he had no choice but to give up.

Probably due to the loss of sanity, the image of the giant snake turtle slowly became hazy after a while, and finally changed back to the original human form, collapsing in the blood stains that had been messed up by his struggle.

The scene was so chaotic, and no one noticed that Wei Xi was stealing food. Wei Xi pissed the blood that made him numb in his mouth. The magic weapon of Xu Xiaofeng's soul was found on his body.

He just remembered: "Yes, we are here to save Fellow Daoist Xu!"

Kuang Zhiming: "..."

The other priests also said: "..."

Yes, they are obviously here to rescue Xu Xiaofeng, why do they have to witness so many miraculous histories along the way...

Everyone looked back, and saw that the little fat man's clothes had been torn, and now he was lying on the ground in a daze, and he was probably a little cold. He curled up, and there were a bunch of thieves stuck on his upturned buttocks. Needle.

Thinking of his real body and the reason for his defeat, the priests collapsed, and they could only force themselves to look away: "Friend Daoist Kuang, let's see how your wife is doing first."

Kuang Zhiming nodded quickly, and began to summon Xu Xiaofeng's soul. After a long time, Xu Xiaofeng's phantom appeared in front of his eyes, which was still hazy and unrecognizable.

Everyone was a little anxious: "The soul has been away from the body for too long, and it has been imprisoned in the magic weapon. I am afraid that it is now in a daze. Kuang Daochang, quickly think of a way to wake her up!"

Seeing this, Kuang Zhiming gritted his teeth, stood up solemnly, stretched out his hand and began to dig at himself.

Everyone's attitude became more cautious, thinking that he was going to take out some magic weapon, and even backed away a little to avoid being affected.

Unexpectedly, Kuang Zhiming pulled his hand out of his pocket, and what was held between his fingers was a mobile phone!

"Xiaofeng!" He found a page, held it up in front of his wife, and shouted, "Look what this is!"

Someone looked closely, and it turned out to be a promotional text message from a certain brand: In order to welcome the Spring Festival, all winter clothes including new models are [-]% off.

The Taoists around: "..."

******

When everyone went down the mountain, they received a call from Beijing. The hospital said that Xu Xiaofeng, who was in a coma, had woken up. Kuang Zhiming wept on the spot and signaled that he wanted to talk to his wife.

Xu Xiaofeng's voice was weak, with a little anxiety: "...Zhiming, my XX brand coat... really only costs [-], and I bought it during a discount..."

Taoists: "..."

It seems that her body was still conscious when her soul left her body, and everyone talked about her spending power that night.Kuang Zhiming didn't think about anything at the moment, what else could he ask for if his wife woke up, for a cultivator, money was after all just something outside of him.

The couple hugged each other and cried over the phone. When they came out, the local police in Xinnan had already arrived and were evacuating the tourists who gathered on the mountain road to watch the excitement. Even the media who got the news quickly rushed over.

When the tourists saw a group of Taoist priests coming out, they were all agitated, and they were still discussing——

"Did they make the big commotion in the mountains just now?"

"Isn't it poaching wild animals?"

The media also looked at this group of Taoist priests who seemed to have experienced a fierce battle with blood on their clothes. They were more suspicious of whether there was a gun battle in Yucheng Mountain just now.

The policeman also stepped forward and asked, "Dear priests, what was the howling that came from the deep mountain just now..."

Everyone was silent for a moment when they heard the words, and their eyes involuntarily fell on the little fat man who was lying on the back of a certain Taoist priest and was already dressed: "...It's nothing, something happened when the leader of the cult was arrested."

Captured the divine beast of his Taoist sect.

The Taoist priest who was carrying the little fat man was extremely excited at this time. Although the process was a bit awkward, how could he be able to walk with his own beast on his back in his lifetime!

In the end, before he was happy for a few minutes, he heard the policeman staring at the beast on his back with glowing eyes: "Isn't this one of the cult members of the Shusheng Sect?! Master, give him to us, and we will bring him to the Interrogation in the bureau will definitely be severely punished according to law!"

After the anesthesia passed, the little fat man was somewhat awake at this time. Hearing this, he shed tears in bewilderment. He didn't know if he could remember what happened just now. In short, he returned to his previous harmless state: "I...I plead guilty..."

Taoists: "..."

The priests watched helplessly as their illegal beasts were carried away by the police on a stretcher, and they didn't know how to react. After a long while, the Taoist priest wept and said, "The evil cult is harming people!"

It's a good Xuanwu, and he was arrested and sent to jail just like that!Since then, the resume is not clean, and no criminal certificate can be issued.

Master and apprentice Zhang Pang received more and more hostility. Zhang Pang looked indifferent and sneered with a pale face all the time, until the little fat man on the stretcher turned his head to look at him.

The little fat man couldn't stop crying, watching him open his mouth, and after a long while let out a barely audible choking sound: "...Master, I'm in so much pain..."

Zhang Pang's face changed, his expression became gloomy, his eyes met, and after a few seconds, he looked away as if he had been burned.

The tall and thin man lowered his head silently, never looking at his master, but at the end when the little fat man was carried away on a stretcher, he glanced at his junior in a hurry, as if he wanted to open his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

These two people are finished. The police sorted out the criminal evidence that the priests found from the house in the mountain, and they were amazed at the amount of Zhang Pang's illegal profits over the years: "I didn't expect that he was actually preparing to abscond overseas. The number is bigger than we thought, enough for him to drink a jug."

As for the thin and tall man, he can't escape the law if he joins a cult organization and commits intentional injury.

The Taoist priests present did not expect that their action to save the souls of fellow Taoists would achieve such a great success in the end. Not only did they achieve their goals, but they also wiped out the long-rooted cult in Xinnan at the same time, and finally sent their own beasts into it. .

Everyone was a little overwhelmed by the gratifying gazes of the police, but Taicang Zong's united righteousness stood up with a smile and faced the police and media cameras: "Cracking down on bad behavior is the duty of our citizens, and our Taicang Zong And the Taoists of the Taoist temple have always firmly implemented the policy of ruling the country according to the law, it is just a trivial matter, and it is not worth mentioning."

The policeman was very surprised: "I didn't expect religious people to have such awareness now!"

The priests at first felt that this conversation was a bit difficult to describe, but after thinking about it, they really couldn't make sense.

The Taoist priests of Xinnan were really convinced now, and said with a strange expression: "...Dear friends of the Taoist Association in Beijing, you are indeed very politically conscious in doing things. We, Xinnan Taoist Association, will learn a lot from you in the future .”

The Taoist priests from the capital were silent for a while, and just about to explain, they heard the Taoist priests from Xinnan speak again: "After this incident, our Xinnan Taoist Association was deeply touched. , intends to hold a seminar, I wonder if fellow daoists are interested in participating together?"

The priests in the capital were stunned: "What seminar?"

Xinnan Daochang: "It is a topic about the combination of Taoist culture and modern science and technology. It has not yet been concretely formed, but we plan to propose that anesthesia needles be added to the ranks of daily magic tools in the future."

The governor of the capital: "..."

Daoist Xinnan: "Dear fellows in the capital are so advanced in concept and are at the forefront of legal innovation. As pioneers of the integration of Chinese and Western, you will definitely vote for it?"

The Taoist chiefs of the capital: "..."

"But it's a matter of urgency." The Taoist chiefs of Xinnan couldn't help but feel sad again when they said this, and sobbed heavily, "The Taoist beasts are now in the world, I think we should organize fellow Taoists from various Taoist temples to... go to detention So, visit Xuanwu."

Wei Xi gathered up his clothes in silence and peeping, hiding his achievements and fame.

The author has something to say: Taoist priests from all over the world received a call: "????? Can you tell me again where Xuanwu is?????"
