Lonely Immortal

I didn't expect there to be any robbers in this place. This group of robbers were all based on foundation cultivation. This surprised Zhang Zhiwen. The old man Qin Huaixing also looked surprised. He was not afraid of anything because he didn't have anything on him. They were valuable things, and the people who came were all humans, not monsters.

Chen Jifeng, father and daughter, instantly became nervous. They stood up and were wary of the actions of these robbers. However, Chen Jifeng still hugged his fists at the gang, and then said: "Everyone, I was passing by here with my little girl, and I disturbed you. I also I hope you can bear with me. I don’t have much belongings, so I only have a few expenses..."

"Stop talking nonsense and get everything out!"

The bandit leader directly interrupted Chen Jifeng's words and said fiercely.

When he shouted like this, Chen Jifeng and his daughter were helpless and could only take out their belongings. The bandit leader looked at Zhang Zhiwen and the old man Qin Huaixing and shouted at them to hand over their valuables.

"There's nothing valuable about you."

Zhang Zhiwen replied lightly, in fact, he didn't pay attention to the dozen or so foundation-building monks at all. Seeing Zhang Zhiwen's behavior, the old man Qin Huaixing immediately felt emboldened, and he immediately said: "Yes, we have There’s nothing valuable! What to take?”

Not only did the old man Qin Huaixing have no property to offer, but he was quite arrogant. In fact, there was a reason why the old man was so arrogant. He knew that Zhang Zhiwen was very powerful, and his strength was not comparable to that of ordinary foundation-building monks.

The old man Qin Huaixing felt that Zhang Zhiwen should be an ancient Taoist monk, otherwise he would not be so powerful. Since Zhang Zhiwen is so powerful, he must try to show off his power. If these bandits don't know how to flatter themselves, then Zhang Zhiwen will definitely take action. Destroy them.

Zhang Zhiwen was a little speechless. This old man didn't think it was a big deal. It was already very strange for them to come to this place, and now such a weird thing happened. A group of immortal cultivators actually got so mixed up that they needed to be bandits. And Chen Jifeng, father and daughter, actually wanted to attend a wedding. How could they be immortal cultivators? They were clearly secular people.

Even if their behavior is that of secular people, they are still cultivators in the final analysis. Immortal cultivators must have many things that are different from the secular world, such as elixirs, spiritual crystals, Taoist artifacts, etc. wait.

But after this gang came in, they immediately robbed money. So what money did they need?

But before Zhang Zhiwen could think about it, the bandit leader became angry. He felt that the old man Qin Huaixing was provoking him, so they immediately planned to take action.

It is strange to say that these people are armed with various swords, guns and sticks. They are not magical weapons, let alone Taoist weapons. They are almost all secular weapons, and there is no magic weapon.

When this group of people wanted to take action, Chen Jifeng quickly came out to smooth things over: "Calm down your anger, calm down. These two are candidates and servants who came to Beijing to take the exam. They have very little money and don't think they have much money. Everyone, I have some money here. You take it first and you see, what do you think?"

Chen Jifeng took out the package he carried with him, opened it, and took out some banknotes. Although Zhang Zhiwen didn't say anything when he saw this scene, he was really surprised. The old man Qin Huaixing was also extremely surprised. He looked at Zhang Zhiwen and saw Zhang Zhiwen didn't say anything, so he didn't say anything either.

When the bandits saw Chen Jifeng take out the banknotes, they quickly took back their weapons.

"Hmph, you know what's going on!"

The bandit leader came over and snatched away Chen Jifeng's belongings. Then he glared at the old man Qin Huaixing fiercely. The old man Qin Huaixing was about to fight back, but Zhang Zhiwen gently reminded him not to cause trouble, and the old man looked away in dismay.

This gang of robbers robbed the money, and they immediately set their sights on Chen Jifeng's two daughters. Chen Jifeng's two daughters were also pretty, and they would indeed be coveted by this gang.

"Hey, boss, this girl is pretty good. Why don't you catch her and play with her?"

"Yeah, I'm here anyway!"

…

The men were booing, they were planning to rob the girl, and the bandit leader seemed to be quite interested in taking action. But when Chen Jifeng saw them like this, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly came out, clasped his fists again and said: "Everyone, everyone... my little girl." I am ignorant and I have suffered from a hidden disease since I was a child. I am afraid that this hidden disease will be passed on to you. Wouldn’t it be better if you take the money and go out to have some fun? "

Chen Jifeng is worthy of being a businessman who has been traveling all over the country for many years. He is extremely tactful, knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to make choices. He also knows how to deal with this emergency situation. Therefore, after what he said, these bandits actually believed him.

"Hmph, disappointing!"

The bandit leader muttered something dissatisfied, then waved his hand, "Brothers, let's go!"

After he said this, he left with the group of people. Chen Jifeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The old man Qin Huaixing looked at Zhang Zhiwen again. This time, Zhang Zhiwen found many things extremely strange.

For example, if Chen Jifeng said that his two daughters had hidden diseases, would these gangsters believe it? Isn't this just wishful thinking? Will these robbers give up the fat in their mouths? That is unless this hidden disease is extremely famous in this place.

In other words, there is plague and disease in this place, and there has even been a major outbreak. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to retreat after hearing this, and not even doubt what Chen Jifeng said. Then this kind of thing should be known to everyone in this place. , an existence that makes everyone change their color when they hear it.

In addition, the monks here are almost the same as secular mortals. They don't seem to know that they are monks at all, because judging from the things Chen Jifeng gave, these things are all secular things, such as silver notes, gold, silver and jewelry. Yes, and the carry-on bag is also a package, not a storage bag.

Therefore, this place is obviously very different from the world of cultivating immortals. The robbers are not holding magic weapons, but ordinary weapons. Zhang Zhiwen even feels that they have never practiced any spiritual methods of cultivating immortals at all. What do you know about the realm of cultivation?

If this is the case, then this place is somewhat interesting. It seems more like a secret realm. Of course, this is Zhang Zhiwen's guess so far.

"well……"

Chen Jifeng sighed and sat down. Obviously, he encountered this kind of thing often, and every time he encountered it, he was unlucky.

Fortunately, these bandits spared his two daughters, otherwise it would have been very troublesome. As for the loss of money, that was better than being killed by these bandits.

However, Chen Jifeng didn't seem to be in a very good mood, and his two daughters were even more depressed. Obviously, their money had been robbed, so they would still have to attend the wedding, and they would be empty-handed, which would probably be an ugly scene. .

Therefore, the father and daughter did not say anything, and they were all a little worried. Zhang Zhiwen and the old man Qin Huaixing naturally had nothing to say. For a while, everyone was silent, and the sky gradually became dark.

Chen Jifeng was depressed for a while, and then he slowly recovered. Then he took out an oil lamp from his body and lit it to illuminate the abandoned temple.

"Come on, let's eat something first."

Chen Jifeng took out the dry food he had and gave it to his daughter. He also gave some to Zhang Zhiwen and the old man Qin Huaixing.

The old man was surprised again. He looked at Zhang Zhiwen again. Zhang Zhiwen still said nothing. He just took the dry food handed over by Chen Jifeng and thanked him. He naturally gnawed the steamed bun in his hand, while the old man Qin Huaixing did not He quickly took the steamed bun, thanked Chen Jifeng politely, and then started to eat it.

Seeing them like this, Chen Jifeng didn't seem to notice anything strange. It seemed that here, everyone had to eat, drink, and defecate. This kind of thing was very common. People who were away from home just helped each other if they could. Especially when Chen Jifeng saw Zhang Zhiwen was a candidate who was going to Beijing to take the exam, so he would be more respectful and even planned to betroth his daughter to Zhang Zhiwen.

However, this matter was ruined by a group of bandits. Chen Jifeng was not in the mood to mention it now, but he still said to Zhang Zhiwen and the old man Qin Huaixing: "You two, I'm afraid there will be some unrest tonight, but we also Don’t worry about anything, just don’t go out, let’s stay in this temple, those monsters shouldn’t dare to come in!”

"Oh? Why is this?" The old man Qin Huaixing couldn't help it, and he couldn't help but ask.

He hadn't eaten steamed buns like this for many years. Now there were some monsters coming out, and the monsters didn't dare to enter the temple. Naturally, he was extremely curious.

Zhang Zhiwen did not say anything. He knew that there must be monsters in this place, because there were monsters in Prince Zhao's palace, and the old man Qin Huaixing also knew it. Otherwise, what would he do if he captured the monks and bled them? Isn’t this raising human flesh rice dumplings?

But after the old man Qin Huaixing came to this place, he was extremely curious and puzzled about what happened here, so it is not surprising that he was a little surprised.

Chen Jifeng didn't expect that the old man would ask such a question. He was obviously a little surprised, but soon he came to his senses again and said, "I guess this is your first time traveling far away, right?"

"Yes, that's right, this is my first time traveling far away. My young master rarely goes out."

The old man Qin Huaixing is not stupid. He knows how to make up some information to fool Chen Jifeng. Anyway, Chen Jifeng has no way of guessing that they came in from the outside world.

"I see……"

Chen Jifeng then showed a look of surprise, and then he said, "That's right, monsters are very afraid of gods. We have a Bodhisattva here, and those monsters will not dare to break in. Otherwise, the Bodhisattva will definitely appear and suppress these monsters." Monster!"

Hearing this, the old man Qin Huaixing was stunned because it was so ridiculous. Zhang Zhiwen was also quite surprised, but Chen Jifeng's two daughters still echoed.

"Yes, we stay here and are not afraid of monsters. Those monsters don't dare to provoke Bodhisattvas!"

"So you don't have to be afraid, as long as we don't go out."

Chen Wanting and Chen Wanfeng were talking and looked at Zhang Zhiwen interestingly. It was obvious that they actually had some interest in Zhang Zhiwen. Otherwise, according to the situation here, it would be difficult for a woman to strike up a conversation with a strange man before she left the government.

Chen Wanting and Chen Wanfeng obviously crossed the line, but Chen Jifeng pretended not to see it and instead adopted a tacit attitude.

"By the way, you haven't dared to ask the young master what his name is?"

Chen Jifeng asked, everyone has been together for a long time, and even Chen Jifeng planned to betroth his daughter to Zhang Zhiwen. He actually asked Zhang Zhiwen's name just now, which really made people dumbfounded.

However, it can also be seen that this place is really the same as the secular world. In the secular world, a woman's marriage is ordered by her parents and the matchmaker, and the woman does not even know the name of the other party.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Chen Jifeng did this, and Zhang Zhiwen had nothing to hide, so he directly reported his family name, and the old man Qin Huaixing also reported his name, but the old man Qin Huaixing was not stupid, he kept a trick, he reported his surname was Zhang, and he was the one who served Zhang Zhiwen in the Zhang Mansion.

In this way, Chen Jifeng naturally looked at Zhang Zhiwen differently, as if those who could study and take the exam in this place were from wealthy families, but didn't he find that Zhang Zhiwen and Qin Huaixing were penniless? However, Chen Jifeng must have thought that Zhang Zhiwen and the old man Qin Huaixing must have spent all their money on the way, so they had no money when they arrived in this place.

This matter is not a rare thing. Who knows what will happen when you go out? What if someone kills you halfway, then where can you go to talk about reason!

So, Chen Jifeng said again: "I have no money on me now, but looking at your situation, it is really a bit troublesome. How about this, you two follow me to my third brother's house, and then my third brother and I will give you some money for the journey. What do you think?"

Zhang Zhiwen and the old man Qin Huaixing didn't expect that Chen Jifeng actually planned to give them money. Obviously, Chen Jifeng should be very optimistic about Zhang Zhiwen. He probably thinks that Zhang Zhiwen may be able to pass the imperial examination in Beijing. If so, then what he is doing now will be very rewarding.

The old man Qin Huaixing glanced at Zhang Zhiwen, which meant that Zhang Zhiwen had made the decision. Zhang Zhiwen thought about it, nodded, and then clasped his fists and said: "Thank you very much, Uncle Chen!"

Zhang Zhiwen's call of Uncle Chen made Chen Jifeng feel comfortable. This was clearly to get closer to him, and Chen Jifeng's two daughters were also secretly happy on the side, and even peeked at Zhang Zhiwen from time to time.

They seemed to like him more and more, but it was true. Zhang Zhiwen was handsome and dignified. How could a girl not like him? However, this was also the characteristic of a Jindan cultivator like Zhang Zhiwen. Generally, cultivators who had cultivated to this level would not be particularly ugly. With the long-term spiritual energy in the body to refine the body, the body would naturally become stronger and more refined, and even the end would definitely be the unity of man and nature.

"Haha, nephew, you don't have to be so polite. Come on, have some tea..."

Chen Jifeng took out a teacup and brewed some tea. It was obvious that this merchant had made great preparations along the way.

But at this moment, there was a noise outside, which seemed to be the roar of an animal. Upon hearing this sound, Chen Jifeng, his father, and his daughter changed their faces instantly.

Obviously, there was a monster outside!
