Chapter 344 Helping the Dragon or Fighting the Dragon

The winding mountain path like a wild snake was deserted and deserted, and there was no human figure. The river wind with moist water vapor blew past, shaking the waist-deep weeds and making them rustle.

From the top of the peak to the foot of the mountain, there are several trails winding around, extremely narrow and extremely steep.

Xie Fanjing, who was carrying a large bag, glanced at the top of the peak with a guilty conscience. She thought about it carefully, and then squatted down quietly, like a little ostrich, lowering her head deeply.

"Fat?"

Xie Fanjing took out a steamed bun from the bag and took a bite.

She puffed her cheeks and said with a slurred voice: "Fatty, hurry up."

At the summit—

The white thatch is rustling and swaying, and several small thatched huts are neatly located, bathed in the brilliant sunlight, outlined with a shallow golden edge.

Everything is silent, there is no human voice, everything is in silence, everything is silent.

After Xie Fanjing was bored and finished eating the third steamed bun of the day, the blades of grass a few steps away suddenly shook slightly, the gravel shook away, the soil rolled upwards, and a huge cat's head burst out of the ground immediately!

"Fatty?" Xie Fanjing puffed his cheeks, surprised and delighted: "Did you find it?"

The big cat's head was stuck on the ground, and it meowed weakly. It struggled to kick its short legs, a carp stabbed, and the remaining half of its body broke through the ground.

With each passing day, the big fat orange that had already changed its face shook its buttocks, shaking the fine grass leaves and dust on its body to the ground. It took a few steps proudly, rubbed Xie Fanjing's calf vigorously, and meowed A few times.

"Pangpang, have you got it?" Xie Fanjing swallowed the last mouthful of steamed buns with great effort, and clapped his hands: "My Yugui?"

"Meow!"

Fat Orange shook its tail. It didn't know when, its tail was entangled with a piece of messenger jade. The texture was yellowish. On the jade surface the size of a baby's palm, there were countless fine runes of light, just like a carp jumping in late spring. densely packed.

"A lot, I didn't see it..."

As soon as Xie Fanjing opened it, his whole body collapsed.

With a bitter face, she jumped up and down on the spot anxiously, turning around in a hurry: "I didn't see any of the summons sent to me by Baishu! But the teacher and grandpa locked me here, and they didn't let me use jade. Kei! I, I..."

Xie Fanjing suddenly fell silent, sulking inwardly.

Fatty, who had already grown into an orange seat, rolled over a few times, with his legs on his back, comfortably revealing his furry belly, and narrowed his eyes.

"Hey, I just summoned him, but he ignored me..."

Xie Fanjing squatted down, rubbed the orange cat's belly, and said cautiously:

"Is he mad at me?"

"..."

The orange cat meowed helplessly. It licked its paws, pouted its buttocks, and suddenly began to write on the ground.

Xie Fanjing moved his head curiously, and saw a line of words engraved on the ground.

"I can't explain this to you because I'm just a cat."

Xie Fanjing was stunned, and then burst into tears for a moment and laughed. She had just laughed a few times before realizing something was wrong. She quickly covered her mouth with both hands, and glanced at the peak.

Seeing that there was still no movement, Xie Fanjing and Jumao breathed a sigh of relief and settled down.

"Let's go."

Xie Fanjing struggled to carry the big bag, and said in a small voice: "Hurry up, don't get caught."

The orange cat shook its tail and jumped onto Xie Fanjing's shoulder. Xie Fanjing was crooked under the weight and staggered a few steps.

She turned her head, and the orange cat looked at her innocently, and licked its paw again.

"What's in the bag?"

Passing through the dense, waist-deep wormwood, the orange cat suddenly rubbed Xie Fanjing's head hard, and spelled out a set of words with real energy: "Is it money?"

"It's something from the kitchen, steamed buns, flower rolls, beef buns, dried fish, water chestnut cakes, spring rolls..."

Xie Fanjing, who was carrying a big bag, pushed aside the overgrown weeds, and said via voice transmission:

"It's all for food!"

"Do you want to eat?" Xie Fanjing blinked: "I took a lot."

"Here's a piece of dried fish!" The orange cat spelled out another set of words: "The dried fish is all mine!"

A man and a cat sneaked out of Baimao Mountain and the 24th peak, but after a while, at the bottom of the Qingjiang River, a flying boat jumped out and cut through the waves.

The flying boat was also sneaky and sneaky, it didn't dare to raise the light, it first traveled for tens of miles close to the ground, without making a sound, and then it soared into the sky, smashed through the clouds, and disappeared.

And all this.

They were all calmly watched by the people at the peak...

Du Shaozhi, dressed in wide clothes, stood under an ancient pine tree, with his sleeves fluttering. He calmly watched the flying boat cut open the river, and then sneaked away. From the beginning to the end, his expression was very calm, and he could not see the slightest emotion Come.

"Little Junior Sister's thoughts are too easy to guess, do you really think we don't know? It's just a secret, so she won't find out!"

A chuckle came from behind, and behind Du Shao, there were three people following.

They stood behind Du Shao with their hands down, with smiles on their lips.

The one who laughed was a young man wearing a kudzu crown and a moon-white light robe. He squinted his eyes and smiled softly: "Does she think that the teacher is not here, so she wants to drug us all?" ? God knows how hard I tried to hold back my laughter!"

"Don't talk about it, even that flying boat was secretly repaired by me, otherwise it wouldn't be able to fly."

Among the three, another slim woman in a yellow dress gave a wry smile:

"After soaking at the bottom of the river for so long, without a magic circle to protect her, the yoke has been corroded. I have to repair a flying boat for her, but I have to get up in the middle of the night, looking like a thief."

The two looked at each other, and both were a little dumbfounded.

The porridge eaten in the morning was specially added by Xie Fanjing, which was enough to fascinate a tall horse.

This vigorous escape was secretly planned by Xie Fanjing for nearly half a year, and the entire Baimao Mountain also accompanied her for half a year.

Seeing that the situation finally came to an end, both the elegant woman in yellow skirt and the man with Ge Guan breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her body.

In the past six months, they have accompanied them in acting, pretending to be ignorant, but they are really tired and exhausted.

"Why didn't senior brother say a word?"

The Ge Guan man smiled and turned his gaze to a short-bearded man who was eight feet tall and proud. He was carrying a large ruler and his face was as sinking as water. He stood behind Du Shao and remained silent.

"That dead cat..."

Seeing that his fellow disciples took the initiative to provoke the conversation, and the tall man with short beard couldn't help but keep quiet, he let out a long sigh and said:

"That dead cat sneaked away my big iron box. There are a lot of valuable belongings in the iron box!"

Even if it's just secular gold and silver.

But for him who has always been housekeeping, even stingy, this kind of behavior is tantamount to a sharp pain.

Thinking of just now, after pretending to pass out from drinking porridge, the dead cat was unscrupulous, stepping on its own head and jumping up and down crazily, the short-bearded man gritted his teeth, and veins popped out of his forehead.

"I really want to catch that cat back and give it a good beating!"

The short-bearded man touched the large ruler on his back, and said in a muffled voice, "You can't get out of this breath!"

"The three of us can't beat that earth spirit. He is already in the fifth realm, and he can still drive the spirit of mountains, rivers and earth in the world."

The Ge Guan man couldn't help laughing: "Otherwise, the Xie family wouldn't have sent it over to guard the little junior sister."

"..." The short-bearded man was speechless. He turned and moved forward. After facing Du Shao, he hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke respectfully:

"Teacher, is there something you don't understand?"

"Say it."

"Back when the Xie family sent the little junior sister here, they asked us to renew her life with Confucianism." The short-bearded man frowned and said:

"Since the younger junior sister recovered from her illness, the Xie family still asked the master to continue to teach, so that the younger junior sister could not go to the 24th peak without permission, but the husband's attitude has always been ambiguous, and now he doesn't care, allowing the younger junior sister to run away secretly. If the Xie family I know, the students are just afraid..."

The man with the short beard has always been clear about the deal between the Xie family and his teacher.

Under the concession of the rich family headed by the Xie family, the young son of Zheng Guo finally started to govern on the surface at the age of weak crown, and in exchange, the literary spirit of Baimao Mountain was used to continue his life and repair Xie Fan. Mirror increasingly deepening Taoist disease.

This disease.

As early as half a year ago, he was cured.

But instead of taking Xie Fanjing back to Changjin, the Xie family asked Du Shaozhi to keep her confined to Peak 24 and trapped in Baimao Mountain.

"The teacher also showed compassion." The short-bearded man gave a wry smile and said, "Are you going to make the marriage perfect?"

"Marriage?"

Du Shaozhi sneered, and this tall and handsome Confucian scholar shook his head again and again:

"Although the Xie family and the King Kong Temple have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, it was only a battle between the court and the party, and it has not fallen behind... Old Xie Xuan asked me to continue teaching her, nothing more than to disgust the King Kong Temple. The governor is filled with confusion, you say that I will make the marriage perfect, this statement is absurd!"

"You have become the fifth realm at a young age, and the immortal is already a certain hero. Will you reject him as Xie Xuan?"

Du Shaozhi smiled faintly:

"Not to mention, before the reincarnation, Bai Shu was known as the master of the Zen sect that unites the north and the south. Such a good son-in-law, if I have a daughter, I can't refuse."

"The teacher..."

"Ci Zai and Luo Yuan are really dead, and the orthodoxy of Qingshen Temple and Landa Temple is already in jeopardy." Du Shaozhi glanced at the stunned disciples, and said with a wry smile:

"It seems that you don't know yet, not only Cizai and Luo Yuanzhen, Ye Gong of the Shouwu Ye clan and the patriarch of the Yuchen Sect also died together. This time, when they attacked the Southern Zen Sect, the whole world died. Four immortals! Not only Beiwei and Dazheng, but even Xichu, will turn the world upside down!"

"This..." The short-bearded man looked at the two juniors in a daze. They didn't know that the families of the Northern Guards had joined forces to fight against the Vajra Cave, and they didn't even know that during this battle, not only was the Vajra Temple not damaged at all. , On the contrary, he also beheaded four immortals from the enemy country!

"Xie Xuan's thoughts, I have already guessed clearly, this old man is just pretending to be noble, just waiting for the price!"

Du Shaozhi sneered: "In that case, why would I bother to offend Bai Shu by being a villain? He is already the governor of Dazheng Chaoxin. In the future, we will have to work together. Why should I replace the name of this villain for nothing? Xie Xuan takes care of it!"

Such words made the short-bearded man and the others fall silent. They looked at each other, not knowing how to speak for a moment.

"Teacher, I have a doubt."

The Ge Guan man in the moon white light shirt stepped forward, bowed with all his strength, and said in a shy voice:

"The Vajra Temple is so bold, can it kill four immortals? It, it..."

"Shenzutong, the six magical transformations of Buddhism, I'm afraid it is far beyond my imagination." Du Shaozhi shook his head: "I need to re-evaluate the Vajra Temple."

"If the Xie family is married to the Vajra Temple, the connection between the wealthy family and the Holy Land will be even tighter."

The short-bearded man frowned, and said solemnly:

"One is the leader of the twelve rich families, and the other is almost the leader of Zheng's pilgrimage. Their two families are married. The emperor and we are afraid that we will have no place to stand on the court!"

The tone of the short-bearded man was extremely heavy, and he did not hide the worry on his face, every word and every word was extremely heavy.

"The situation has not yet fallen to that point. After that, I have my own opinions."

Du Shaozhi gave a word of relief, then turned and went back to the room without saying a word.

The peak of Baimao Mountain was already covered with waist-deep wormwood, watching his husband's back step by step in the wild grass, the short-bearded man couldn't help it, and spoke again.

"gentlemen!"

Du Shaozhi stopped.

"Sir, what kind of character is the newly appointed governor?!" The short-bearded man bowed from afar and shouted loudly: "Sir, I have seen this great Zen master before. Is this person loyal or traitor? Is he going to Do you want to control the situation, or do you want to help the country?"

"Character?"

Du Shaozhi read this word lightly, and then said something that made the short-bearded man change color:

"Whether Bai Shu wants to fight for the dragon or support the dragon's court is hard for me to guess. With the current situation of Zheng Guo, unless a saint comes to the world, the nine tigers and leopards of the full court can retreat from the center. Return power to the Son of Heaven."

"We are now..." Du Shaozhi sighed silently: "We can only wait for the right time."

The pure Confucian scholar strode away, his figure gradually disappearing in the wormwood, only the voice came from afar:

"King Jing entrusted Dazheng to me. With such a kindness, even if I burn myself to pieces, I will die to repay this friendship!"

……

……

……

now.

Thousands of miles away.

on the boat.

"Keep this big bun!"

With puffy cheeks, Xie Fanjing suddenly reached out and stopped the orange cat's protruding fat paws. Her voice was indistinct: "The beef buns made by the third senior brother are delicious, I want to save a piece of Baizhu to eat!"

"Meow~" the orange cat yelled in dissatisfaction, and bit a piece of dried fish with aggrievedness.

"Are we going back to Changjin? Or to Chaisang?"

After half a stick of incense, the orange cat, which had been eaten into a ball, lay lazily on the ground, its legs turned upside down, like a soft cat bug. It moved its little paws, and once again spelled out a set of words with real energy:

"Where are we going?"

"Go to King Kong Temple!"

Xie Fanjing swallowed the last mouthful of steamed buns, and jumped up from the ground. The bright and incomparable girl patted her small chest, holding her head proudly:

"I'm going to find Bai Shu and let him see that I am no longer a little girl. Now I am an adult!"
