The years when I explored the fairyland

"Offer? Me?"

This turn of events was something Qingjing Lao Dao himself did not expect. He pointed to his nose with a look of surprise on his face: "Why did the temple master have such an idea?"

Chu Zhou explained: "Although I was not at Xuanzhen Temple during this period, I never stopped exchanging letters. I knew that the Yunya Sword Sect was doing a lot of work in Xuanzhen Temple, and everyone who came was treated by the Taoist Priest. It was blocked.

There were at least three waves, with eighteen people dead and one person escaping. Many of the dead were martial arts practitioners, and the one who escaped was an innate strong man.

Although this is a transaction between us, Xuanzhen Guan must remember this love.

Furthermore, the Taoist Priest has been coming to my Xuanzhen Temple for some time. Not to mention saving lives and healing the wounded, he has also taught my second junior brother various medical skills and has never kept anything private. "

"I'm not familiar with Chaotian Temple, so I can't say I have any approval, but I've watched the Taoist leader Jiuyi, and I think you're a good person, and worthy of being recruited by Xuanzhen Temple.

Of course, I have to admit that after getting such a snake, I really need someone to help me deal with the snake carcass and refine various great medicines. "

"On this point, after much thought, there is no one more suitable than the Taoist Priest!"

After saying this, the Qingjing Old Taoist's face looked much better, but after a moment of confusion, he still asked: "Then why is he not an elder, but just a worshipper?

Wei Jinkui's fellow has become an outer elder, am I not as good as him? "

"Doesn't the Taoist Priest have a disciple? Chaotian Guan allows the Taoist Priest to leave..."

Chu Zhou was stunned when he heard this. Halfway through his explanation, he seemed to understand something and said with a smile: "Is Taoist Master worried about his various treatments?

Don't worry about this. There is no one in my Xuanzhen Temple, and the enshrinement positions are on par with Wenxiang Temple. This treatment will definitely satisfy you. "

After a pause, he continued: "The reason why I only mentioned the position of 'consecration' is because I am worried about the sect behind you. If I rashly invite you as an elder, I am afraid that the Taoist priest will be in trouble!"

"My idea is that the position of worship will be equal to that of Wenxiang Guan, and I don't ask the Taoist priest to help me fight and kill Xuanzhen Guan.

The only thing is that the Taoist Master needs to do his best in medical matters, and my second junior brother, please take care of the Taoist Master and teach him how to cure diseases and save people, and how to make elixirs.

In the future, if the Taoist leader wants to leave, it will only be a matter of one word, and I will not stop him.

Of course, if the Taoist Master is willing, like Uncle Wei, it would be better to join Xuanzhen Temple.

The elders of the outer sect are all bent on their talents. I can allow the Taoist priests to establish their own lineage and directly enter the inner sect. "

This condition was so sincere that Qing Jing Lao Tao was so moved that he almost agreed to it directly.

He has some status in Chaotian Guan, but at best he is just a deacon running errands and cannot be considered a high-level official.

As for Xuanzhen Guan, as long as there is this person in front of him and that inheritance, it is only a matter of time before it develops and grows.

If he joins now, even if he only serves for one term, the benefits he can gain will be immeasurable.

Moreover, there is that secret technique, that so-called method?

His expression changed again and again. Old Qingjing was willing to agree, but he was still a little hesitant.

When Chu Zhou saw it, he smiled and said, "I know this matter is a bit unexpected. How about you think about it first, and then talk to me when you make a decision?"

"In that case, I will be respectful and not obey orders."

The old Taoist priest Qingjing sighed, looked at the book in his hand again, handed it forward, and said, "Master Guanzheng, what about this book?"

Chu Zhou didn't answer, just waved his hand and said: "The agreement is an agreement, and the invitation is an invitation. If the Taoist priest takes it, it can be regarded as a mission to Chaotian Guan."

After a pause, he added: "However, this snake's corpse will have to trouble the Taoist priest."

"Let's leave it to the old man. He will surely fulfill his mission."

…

Regardless of Old Taoist Qingjing's final choice, now, the corpse of the snake is finally handled by someone knowledgeable.

The old Taoist was also a capable man. He went out to find a knife. After sharpening it, he was ready to cut it.

But after working for a long time and being exhausted to death, there was no result.

In fact, although this adder has not lived more than five hundred years, it should be three to four hundred years old.

The thickness of the scales and the toughness of the flesh and bones were beyond the ability of an old man like him, who had not yet mastered internal organs training, to cut through it.

In the end, the furious Lao Dao simply slipped Yi Huai and Wei Jinkui over and let them get started. He was guiding them from the side, and progress was finally made.

As for the entire snake corpse, starting from the lower body, the snake scales were first removed, collected one by one, and then directly divided into pieces about one meter apart.

Shaving flesh and bones, collecting snake blood, removing organs, etc... It was a very busy time.

Generally speaking, this is a delicate job, but it is also a strenuous job, and it is really not something that ordinary people can do.

As for Chu Zhou?

He didn't take action, but went into the water, not to practice, but to drive away the aquatic beasts attracted by the snake corpse.

Chu Zhou had to admit that the bottom of the Baisha River was far more lively and richer in species than he had imagined.

Especially some treasure fish, turtles and the like, although they are not as exaggerated as this viper, they still show something magical.

For example, there is a spirit turtle the size of a millstone, with a pair of eyes shining with wisdom.

For example, the red-golden scales of a large carp that is about 10 feet long seem to have flashes of light.

Another example is a lobster with long arms that can actually manipulate the water flow...

After seeing so much, Chu Zhou felt like his eyes had been opened. He felt that there were so many mysteries in the world, and he felt like a frog at the bottom of a well.

However, Chu Zhou now has the corpses of the snakes and is not interested in them. Otherwise, none of these little guys will be able to escape.

In this way, another day passed. Near dusk, Wei Fangjie arrived with five large ships.

He rented them in the name of Xuanzhen Temple. The five large ships were fully staffed with sailors, but the interior was almost empty.

Wei Fangjie also found a lot of ice bricks stored in the cellars of the wealthy families in Baisha City to cool down the water, so as to keep the snake meat fresh for a longer time.

It is worth mentioning that this time, Fan Tiehu also came with him.

It was only four or five months since we last met, and his height had grown a lot. He was already the tallest among his fellow apprentices.

His solid figure, gnarled muscles, and resolute face showed that he was particularly reliable and calm.

But after seeing Chu Zhou, he was so excited that he almost cried. Chu Zhou had to comfort him!

Finally, Qingjing Laodao found Chu Zhou again and made a suggestion.

It really took too long to cut up the snake corpse like this. It was definitely not something that could be done within three or five days.

Therefore, his opinion was to cut the snake carcass into pieces first, and then load them separately, and wait until they returned to Xuanzhen Temple to do more detailed processing.

Chu Zhou had no objection, and he personally took action, measuring, removing scales, cutting, loading...

With the command of Taoist Qingjing, Yi Huai, Wei Fangjie and Wei Jinkui helped, and a group of crew members helped, they were busy all night before the work was completed.

Then they went upstream and spent another three days, and finally returned to Baisha City.

…

Baisha City,

a newly renovated dock.

At this moment, the dock was full of people, including boat pullers, fishermen driving small boats, merchants coming and going, and many people who came to watch the excitement,

but these people were separated by officers and soldiers, leaving a long passage.

At the end of the passage, by the Baisha River, Baisha County Magistrate Ji Mingqian, led the county lieutenant Wang Fugui, the county magistrate Zhao Yuanwai and the chief clerk Gu Xianming to gather here, chatting casually.

"Have you heard that Master Chu killed the Water Dragon King?"

Chief clerk Gu Xianming waved his folding fan, his expression quite excited: "Hehe, what do you think the old cripple in the Dragon King Temple will look like?

Over the years, relying on the so-called grand sacrifice, he has done a lot of evil and extorted a lot. I don't like him a long time ago.

This time, the master of the temple directly killed the master he sacrificed. I want to know, this year, what excuse does he have?"

"Hehe, you kid, still You underestimated that beggar. He is more shameless than you think. "

County Magistrate Zhao Yuanwai patted Gu Xianming on the shoulder and said, "Water Dragon King, it is said that the Water Dragon King is worshipped every year, but have you really seen the so-called Water Dragon King?

The master of the temple probably killed a big one this time, but as long as the beggar says it is not him, his subordinates will dare to jump out and bark wildly!"

"Then we can't do anything to him?"

County Lieutenant Wang Fugui took over the conversation: "Don't listen to Zhao Yuanwai's threats, it's not that serious!"

" So, will the kidnapper be more obedient? "

"Haha, how is that possible!!!"

Wang Fugui grinned: "How could the old kidnapper give up such a huge benefit? He will naturally jump out to make trouble.

However, the current Baisha County will not be coerced by a kidnapper like him. If he dares to jump, we can just stop him from jumping!"

The county lord Ji Mingqian finally spoke: "This old kidnapper is not important. The most important thing is the temple master.

More than four months is not a long time, but Baisha City has There have been many changes, I just hope the master will be satisfied.

And Xuanzhen Temple, our grand plan depends on the master's attitude this time! "

"This is the big deal!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ji Mingqian set the tone, and the other three hurriedly nodded in agreement. Then, the county lieutenant Wang Fugui pointed to the lower reaches of the river and said, "Look, the boats are coming!"

Yes, six large ships are moving forward like a long dragon, zigzagging upstream. The leading ship is the largest, but also the most dilapidated.

Many places are just repaired casually, and they look like they are about to fall apart at any time.

But the huge snake head hanging in the air on the bow of the ship is the focus of all attention.

Even if it is dead, even if the snake pupils are gray, it still exudes a creepy deterrence, causing an uproar among the crowd.

And in the crowd, another black-robed man slowly raised his head, under the hood, there was an old and hideous face.

He looked old because he was really old, with wrinkles all over his face; he looked ferocious because he looked ferocious, and under his old appearance, one could seem to see a vicious heart.

He didn't care much at first, but when the half snake head appeared in front of him, the expression on his face froze completely.

Those eyes were no longer covered, revealing a light that chose people to devour, like the most vicious curse in the world.

However, such malice seemed to have aroused someone's vigilance.

On the big ship, Chu Zhou tilted his head slightly, as if he was searching for something. The man was startled and immediately lowered his head.

He swayed slightly, and then he limped out of the crowd.

It's a little late today, and the speed is slow!
