Zhufeng sent Wu Sheng down the mountain, watched him leave, turned back, took a piece of silk, and transcribed the elixir recipe on the ground, but still couldn't bear to erase it. Instead, he took out the spiritual materials to study, compare, and return from time to time.
He turned his head and compared it with the writing on the ground.
I continued to study until the afternoon of the next day, then I went out with a basket of medicine on my back and went down the mountain to the east mountain. I first picked a few elixirs on the top of the mountain, sat on the top of the cliff to rest for a while, then jumped down, switched to the southeast direction, and picked some elixirs.
After a few plants, move on to the next mountain.
By nightfall, Zhufeng had reached twenty miles southeast of Mount Ascetic and went down to an unknown mountain stream. He found another spiritual grass by the stream and threw it into the basket on his back.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhufeng looked around and found a nearby cave to rest. He lit a bonfire and baked pancakes in the cave. After eating, he continued to add firewood to the bonfire and kept the fire burning brightly, while he stared at the burning.
The flames were in ecstasy.
In the middle of the night after arriving, a slight movement suddenly sounded in the deep corner of the cave. Zhufeng raised his eyes and saw that a few stones had rolled down from the gap between the rock wall and the ground, revealing a cave entrance.
He stuck his head out from the entrance of the cave and tried hard to get out, but was stuck by the rock wall above. As he struggled, drops of water kept dripping from his bun.
There was another voice behind the man asking: "What's going on?"
The man who stuck his head out said helplessly: "It's two feet off..." As he spoke, a pile of gravel rolled down the rock wall, and an iron claw broke through the wall and expanded the entrance of the cave. This man finally
Drilled out.
Zhufeng stood up: "Big thief..."
Immediately behind this person, another person wearing linen clothes emerged. Both of them were wet, as if they had been fished out of the water.
Zhufeng bent down and cupped his hands: "Taoist..."
These two are none other than Wei Fushen and Mai.
Mai frowned and scolded Wei Fuchen: "Why are you digging in the puddle?"
Wei Fuchen complained: "How did I know there was a water stream next to it?" Then he scolded Zhufeng: "Look at this crappy place you chose!"
Zhufeng didn't dare to reply, so he made a few excuses and made the bonfire bigger.
Mai is a senior in the realm of divine refining. She has been at the peak for many years. Her cultivation is so strong that she doesn't need to dry her clothes. Her true essence is exposed, and even her clothes are steaming with thick steam, and her linen clothes are dried in a short time.
There is no need for Wei Fushen. Although he suffered a serious injury in Shangyong a few years ago, he has recovered a lot in the past two years. Especially last year, he got a Fenmai Pill from Zhufeng that can heal Qi Hai's injuries. His injuries improved greatly.
He has recovered 70%. But when he saw the bonfire tonight, he simply took off his clothes, hung them to dry on the stones next to the fire, and sat down naked to warm himself up: "I really want to take a hot bath. I haven't done so in many years."
…”
Mai asked Zhufeng: "Is there any news?"
Zhufeng said: "I want to meet Ruiniang."
Mai frowned and said nothing, Wei Fuchen sneered: "Rui Niang is very good." After saying that, he went to find a wooden slip among the clothes to be dried and threw it to Zhufeng.
Zhufeng quickly took it and took a closer look. He found a simple sentence - "I and my son are well", and the signature behind it was signed three days ago. Although the handwriting was slightly blurred by water, it was undoubtedly Ruiniang's name.
Zhufeng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Yesterday, someone came to Shuxing Mountain to find me and inquire about Mahu. But the main question was about Yangzhou Walking, and he seemed to be suspicious of this matter. In addition, he also asked me if I knew a Taoist. I said no.
Once I knew him, he left without any entanglement or questioning."
Wei Fuchen asked: "Did you ask about me?"
Zhufeng shook his head: "I never asked."
Wei Fushen was displeased: "Why did you only ask Mai but not me?"
Mai interrupted him: "What is this person's cultivation level?"
Zhufeng said: "The cultivation should be above the realm of refining gods." He also described Wu Sheng's appearance.
When describing the body shape, fat, thin, tall and short, Mai and Wei Fuchen immediately thought of a person in their minds, but when it came to the specific appearance, they felt that it was very different from what they thought.
In order to further confirm whether he was the person he imagined, Wei Fuchen asked: "How is he better than me? Are you handsome?"
Zhufeng blinked his eyes, coughed dryly, and said: "Not as good as the great thief Mr. Wei!"
Wei Fuchen asked again: "How much worse than me?"
Zhufeng thought for a moment and said, "Short of...three points?"
Seeing Wei Fuchen frowning, he quickly choked out a sentence: "Actually, it's more than three points, it's simply...incomparable."
Wei Fuchen smiled: "It's just a three-point difference, why bother? Just tell the truth!"
Zhufeng lowered his head: "Yes."
Wei Fushen said to Mai: "It is rare to be three points worse than me. He is not the assassin Wu Sheng."
Mai thought: "It is indeed rare...it is indeed not Wu Sheng...could it be that he is walking in a school somewhere else?"
Wei Fushen objected: "The academy is traveling to investigate the case. If it is targeted, it will use all possible means. It will never be easy to let it go without asking a few questions. It is difficult to do good things without peeling off the skin."
Zhufeng trembled when he heard it and swallowed.
Mai shook her head: "Perhaps it was delayed due to other cases? I heard that Song Jianlu was in Yangzhou for only three years, and Yangzhou has a large area. I probably know this person. The men he recruited are all idle men, and there are not many good ones. If it is because of other cases,
If you are involved and cannot tell the difference, you may also ask others to help you..."
Wei Fu said solemnly: "You and I are both wanted persons in the academy. We are famous all over the world. With such great achievements, are you willing to let Yangzhou go out? If it were me, I would definitely not be willing to let him go."
Zhufeng lamented: "Why do you have to lead the Academy to go south in a big way? Others avoid it, but you two take the initiative to provoke it."
Wei Fuchen scolded: "You know nothing!"
Zhufeng persuaded: "Taoist, big thief, both of you are seniors in refining gods. If you really want to do what Mangdang Mountain does, we have a lot of skills and involve the academy. This is a double-edged sword. If you are not careful, you will be injured."
Own!"
Wei Fushen said: "You don't understand. That guy is extremely cunning, sinister, and full of bad intentions. Who is my great thief Wei Fushen? I have tried again and again, but he has escaped. What can you do?"
Mai nodded and added coldly: "This guy is still an escapee. His hands are slippery. If there are fewer people, we won't be able to catch him."
Wei Fushen said to Zhufeng: "I suspect that this guy is good at divination and has the ability to avoid disasters. Knowing that he was behind Mangdang Mountain, the Taoist priest and I went to find him, but he ran away. Once he escaped, he never returned for months and months. I heard last year
When he came back, we came to find him again, but he ran away again, using the pretext of leading troops to hide in the Chu-Wu battlefield thousands of miles away. Taoist and I rushed to Chicken Father, and guess what, this guy became a deserter and ran away.
! Are you saying it makes people angry? For the current plan, we can only lure the Academy southward. We will use some clever tricks to make the Academy lay down a dragnet and see where he escapes!"
Wei Fushen became more and more angry as he spoke: "We are both wanted criminals in the academy. The Taoist and I are hiding in this ravine and suffering from insect bites and snake bites, while he is living in Mangdang Mountain with fine clothes and fine food, showing off his power, how can we bear it?"
Mai glanced coldly at Wei Fuchen, who asked, "Why does the Taoist look at me like this?"
Mai said: "You talk a bit too much tonight."
Wei Fuchen was startled: "Yes... why is this?"
He suddenly had an ominous premonition: "I heard that an expert's divination can capture one's soul..."
Before he finished speaking, an arrow shot into the hole like a crescent moon!
Thanks to Taoist priests Changfu Weiyang, Xin Xitang, and Tianming for their rewards, and to fellow Taoists for their monthly votes and recommended votes.
