The Monk

Chapter 108 Chengcheng

Worried about being accidentally discovered by cultivators, Zhang Ai and Song Yunyi chose to stay in an uninhabited mountainous area. They then searched for villages and markets, bought coarse cloth clothes and a carriage, and loaded the ordinary dried meat, dried fish and old wine in the storage bags into the carriage. , pretending to be a traveling businessman and asking for directions while walking. Fortunately, the Hu family was famous enough to find out the location easily. They had a city, Chengcheng.

The carriage was large and had two horses pulling it. The goods were piled in the back, and a pergola was set up in front. Song Yunyi sat in the shade, and Zhang Wen sat on the shaft of the carriage to drive the carriage. The two of them came all the way to Chengcheng, paid the city gate fee, the guards inspected the carriage, grabbed a few pieces of dried meat to eat, released it, found a cheap inn to stay at, unloaded the carriage and rested the horse, moved the goods into the store and sealed them, everything was like normal people. Zhang Ain pretended to be asking the store about the location of the local market and the price of goods, and then went out with Song Yunyi. Under the pretext of investigating the price of goods, they wandered around the city looking for the Hu family.

In order to be cautious, I didn't dare to let Yuanshen investigate. As a result, I wandered into the evening and found nothing. The two walked back, and when they were about to return to the inn, they met a few drunken gangsters.

Song Yunying was wearing gray homespun clothes, and her hair was spread out to cover her face. There was a drunken gangster who saw her graceful figure and pretty hair. He came over and wanted to brush her hair aside to take a closer look. Song Yunyi ducked past him, and the ruffian laughed and said, "Hey, I'm still a practicing man. I'm surrounded by a few brothers, but I want to watch today." Several ruffians surrounded him with their teeth and claws waving in a noisy manner.

Zhang Ain whispered: "I think you are too beautiful to pretend to be a farmer." Song Yunyi asked him: "What should I do?" Zhang Ain didn't want to reveal his identity, so he smiled and said: "Run." He grabbed Song Yunyi's hand and ran away. A few drunken gangsters stopped after a few steps and cursed: "You are running so fast, you are a native dog!"

Zhang was afraid of hearing dirty words and wanted to turn around and educate them. Song Yunyi advised them: "Forget it, don't be like a ruffian."

The next day, the two of them planned to go to a shop where cultivators bought and sold magic weapons and herbs, and they went out at noon when there were many people on the street. Coincidentally, the enemy's road was narrow. Just fifty meters out of the inn, a group of people appeared at the intersection of the street. They were the gangsters from yesterday. The ruffians saw Zhang and Song at a glance, and someone shouted: "It's those two grandsons from yesterday, hurry up and surround them." "It's those two local dogs, their clothes are so damn ugly." These people ran over while cursing.

Zhang was afraid that his anger would rise, why didn't these people know what was good and what was good? Song Yunyi whispered: "It seems that we are in trouble again." Yes, why is this? I have been in constant trouble since I was born. Am I really the reincarnation of a peerless broom star?

When his temper got worse, he didn't want to hide anymore, so he stood in the street and watched them gather around him with cold eyes. The gangsters came running over with noisy sounds, and surrounded the two of them on the left and right. The first one came closer and yelled: "That bitch, push your hair away, damn, I ran pretty fast yesterday. Fortunately, I have a good memory! Run, run! Break your legs! What about you, raise your head!" Ask the uncle to take a look." Song Yunyi didn't move when he heard the words. Zhang Wei turned his head and the six people swayed slightly. Then they saw that the six people had fallen far away and fell to the ground moaning. Zhang Ain sighed and told Song Yunyi to leave.

When we arrived at the North District, the most remote and least populated area in Chengcheng, there were few pedestrians on the streets. There are more than a dozen shops on one street, all related to cultivators, and most of the pedestrians coming and going are monks, but it is difficult to tell who is a descendant of the Hu family?

When I returned to the inn in the evening, I felt from afar that there were Qi Refining disciples sitting in the inn. Zhang Wen comforted himself: "I don't believe you are causing trouble for me." He and Song Yunyi entered the inn calmly, and suddenly someone shouted: "Xiao San'er, it was your brother who was beaten by those two local dogs, help him to avenge him." Qi refining disciples did not Yue said: "I told you not to call me San'er, I have a name." He stood up and looked at Zhang Ping and Song Yunyi. He couldn't find any spiritual energy fluctuations. It turned out that he was an ordinary person. He said with confidence: "Kowtow to my brother to apologize, and then give him whatever you want. One hundred taels of silver, the matter is settled."

Zhang Weijing was upset: "Are you really looking for me?" The Qi Refining monk was stunned: "So what if I'm looking for you? Please apologize quickly, otherwise..." "Otherwise, so what? Can you still kill me?" Zhang was afraid of stealing the words. The Qi Refining monk smiled coldly: "So what if I kill you? It's just a local dog."

The store owner was kind-hearted and ran over to persuade in a low voice: "Look, you two are not poor people. You are carrying goods behind you. Listen to my advice and admit your mistake and pay for it. He is from the outer courtyard of the Hu family. You can't afford to offend him." He turned around and said. The Qi Refining monk said: "Master Hu, please calm down. I will advise them. Country people are ignorant."

"Hu family's outer courtyard?" Zhang Ain was laughing in his heart. He tried to find you but couldn't find it. You brought it to the door yourself and said immediately: "Brother, I have money, but I can't give it to you casually. Let's go to the outside of the city to fight and win." My money is doubled.”

When the injured ruffian heard this, he immediately urged: "San'er, go." The Qi Refining monk looked at the two of them and sneered: "I really don't know whether to live or die, so I will go out for a walk with you."

Not long after, the injured ruffian, the Qi Refining monk and Zhang Song came to the open space outside the city. Zhang Ai led the way and deliberately walked farther away. The Qi Refining monk was impatient: "Don't leave, just stay here." Zhang Ai turned around and smiled, his figure flashed like a ghost, kicked the ruffian unconscious, and grabbed the Qi Refining monk with one hand. Yanqiao said: "You are a monk, why do you care about ordinary people?"

The monk's vitals were restrained and he couldn't escape after several struggles. His face changed and he said: "Senior, please spare my life. This disciple made a mistake and bumped into senior. I ask senior to spare the disciple for the sake of the Hu family's face."

"I don't know whether to live or die?" Zhang Ain tilted his head and looked at him.

"I don't dare, please let me go. I will go back to the Ming family and prepare generous gifts to make amends to my elders." The Qi Refining monk said fearfully.

"Are you a disciple of the outer courtyard?"

"No, I am just a student of the Qi Refining Hall under the outer courtyard."

"It's quite complicated. Where is the inner courtyard of the Hu family? What is Hu Zheng's magic weapon?"

Hearing Zhang Pa ask this question, the Qi Refining cultivator rolled his eyes and hesitated without answering. Zhang Pa said: "I will wait for you once. If you don't answer next time, I will kill you. Where is the inner courtyard? What magic weapon does Hu Zheng use?"

"Senior, are you here to seek revenge?" The cultivator asked anxiously.

Zhang Pa's face turned cold and he exerted force on his hand, saying, "Do you think what I said is bullshit?" The cultivator hurriedly said, "I'll tell you, please spare me, senior." Zhang Pa loosened his hand a little, and the Qi-refining cultivator coughed and panted, "There is a mountain called Chengshan nearly a hundred miles north of Chengcheng. Going up the mountain along the mountain road, you can see a large area of ​​houses and courtyards. Those are the outer courtyards of the Hu family. The inner courtyard is on the Bu Lao Peak in the back mountain. There is no way to get up, so the masters all fly up; the magic weapon used by the clan leader is the measuring ruler."

"Measurement ruler? What a big mouth, does Hu Zheng usually go down the mountain?"

"The clan leader usually doesn't go down the mountain unless something big happens."

"Is there any protective formation on the mountain?"

"I have never been to Chengshan, so I don't know. I just heard that there is one."

"Does the Hu family have a Yuanying master?"

"It seems that there is, but I don't know. I really don't know." The Qi-refining cultivator said anxiously. Zhang Pa thought for a while. This guy was just a Qi Refining disciple and knew limited things. He said coldly, "Just now I said I would only wait for you once. You missed the chance. Sorry." He squeezed the man's throat with force and threw away the body. Then he looked back at the unconscious gangster and said with disgust, "He doesn't repent. He doesn't deserve to die." He kicked him to death and then released the little snake to destroy the body.
