Chapter 226 Tiger and Test (7K)

Chapter 227 Tiger and Test (7K)

Zhang Xiao stood on the stone platform paved with bluestone slabs, looking up at the tall mountain gate in front of him.

If we say that when he was at the Ministry of Magic, Zhang Xiao saw what incredible buildings wizards could build with the blessing of magic.

Now he has seen how profound the long history can be.

The huge mountain gate can clearly show the vicissitudes of time, and there are still traces of cuts and axes on it. It seems that a fierce battle once broke out in front of the mountain gate.

There is a huge plaque hanging above the mountain gate, with the three characters "Tianshifu" written in seal script on it.

This plaque has a shining light all over it, giving it a majestic and majestic feeling.

"This is a new one. The old one seems to have been put away."

Zhang Chengdao saw his son's eyes lingering on the plaque, so he spoke and then explained.

"Come on, let's go up first. Mom has already packed your room for you."

The family climbed up the stairs and told some interesting stories. Zhang Xiao told her about life in school and the experiences along the way.

Especially what happened in Wangjiang County. Although people watched the whole process, they did almost nothing.

Li Qingshu listened with a smile and glanced at her husband from time to time, while Zhang Chengdao expressed his expression "indifferently".

In small scenes, it was not easy for his young master to take action.

My mother told the story of the Neville family's experience of sailing across the sea to China, and encountering a "ghost ship" during the voyage.

As soon as Mrs. Shaotianshi showed off a few very powerful 'talismans', the ghost ship ran away in a hurry.

It made her extremely regretful that she could not get on the boat to see what kind of ghost it was.

‘If it weren’t for Neville’s family, I would have gone up there! ’

She said sadly.

"Mom, are things going well with Neville's family? How are uncle and aunt doing?"

Li Qingshu touched Zhang Xiao's head and said with a little pride:

"I've already arrived at Longhu Mountain, can it still be cured? But it's really difficult. The time out of the body was too long. The old heavenly master stabilized the soul and added several elders to assist.

Only then did they put their souls back, because they needed to recover slowly on their own after returning to their original positions, so they fell into a deep coma, and it took them nearly a month to recover before they woke up.

All that's left is to take care of your body. "

"Is that so? That's great. I'll go find him later!"

Zhang Xiao is also happy for Neville. In this case, Neville will definitely be able to shine more dazzlingly than in his previous life, right?

"However, your friend is no longer in Longhu Mountain. Your grandfather thinks that he has good talents and is particularly suitable for Wudang.

I contacted Master Zhou of Wudang and sent him to become a layman. However, I heard that Master Zhou seemed to like Neville quite a lot and was interested in accepting him as a registered disciple. "

ah? Neville went to Wudang Mountain?

Isn't there something wrong with this style of painting?

Wudang Na'vi, pay homage to the Heavenly Master?

Zhang Xiao smacked his mouth, and Neville was afraid that he would fly into the sky!

The three of them continued talking and laughing as they walked up, when suddenly there was another loud cry.

A ray of green light flew down from the top of the mountain, fell on Zhang Xiao's shoulder, and rubbed Zhang Xiao's cheek affectionately.

But it was Qingluan who returned to Longhu Mountain one step earlier.

Zhang Chengdao immediately became energetic and stretched out a hand with a 'flattery smile' on his face:

"Senior Qingluan, I want Xiao Guoguo!"

Qingluan looked at him with her crystal eyes, and finally shook her head humanely, like an aunt who was asked for candy by a child, and took out a small red fruit from under her wings and put it in his hand.

Zhang Chengdao put it away happily.

At this moment, a strong wind arose from the ground, and the surrounding trees kept swaying, making a loud rustling sound.

Then there was another tiger roar that shook the forest.

I saw a huge black tiger with four claws on the wind, running from a distance. This black tiger was so big that it could almost catch up with a van.

Before he even got close, the huge pressure made Zhang Xiao feel trembling.

Zhang Chengdao was as happy as a child, and waved his hand vigorously:

"Tiger!

Tiger! I'm back! "

The black tiger jumped up and stepped twice in the air with its four claws. The breeze seemed to be alive, carrying it lightly across a distance of tens of meters.

When the huge body landed on the ground, it was as silent as a cat.

Zhang Xiao never knew that a creature like a tiger could have such a gentle side. It gently nudged Zhang Chengdao's face with its nose.

As if with a smile.

Li Qingshu stretched out her hand to scratch the tiger's chin and said with a smile:

"The tiger came over when I came back. I told the tiger that you would come back after a while, and he was waiting here.

I have been waiting for you for more than a month. "

Zhang Chengdao paused, hugged the tiger's big head and rubbed it hard, pulled Zhang Xiao over in a show-off tone and said:

"Tiger, this is my child!

do you remember? We agreed that if Shumei and I have a baby in the future, we will play together! "

Like an old man who has gone through many vicissitudes of life, Tiger looked at Zhang Chengdao kindly and nodded gently.

Then, it stretched its big head over and sniffed the scent of Zhang Xiao vigorously.

Zhang Xiao stood up neatly and saluted the tiger:

"Senior Tiger, I am Zhang Xiao, hello, senior!"

Zhang Xiao only felt that his collar was suddenly lifted up, and he suddenly left the ground. A thick tail gently wrapped around his waist.

Before he could react.

He had already ridden on the tiger's neck. The satin-like fur was soft, making it extremely comfortable to sit on.

Li Qingshu jumped up and jumped up with a smile.

Zhang Chengdao did the same. After riding on, he touched the fur under his body nostalgically:

"Xiaoxiao, which position of yours was my favorite thing to do when I was a child, and your mother always competed with me for it."

Tiger looked back at Zhang Chengdao, as if waiting for something.

Zhang Chengdao's eyes were bright, and he didn't look like Shaotianshi at all. It was as if he had gone back to a few decades ago, when he and Li Qingshu lived a carefree life in the mountains.

He knew what the tiger was waiting for, so he curled his fingers and made a loud whistle in his mouth.

Just like decades ago, he pointed forward and shouted:

"Come on, tiger!"

The tiger's mood suddenly cheered up. It shook its body and raised its head and let out a roar that was equally full of pleasure.

He opened his four paws and ran forward vigorously.

Zhang Xiao had never seen his father smile so cheerfully. It was a kind of comfort that came from the heart, just like a child without other things mixed in, just pure happiness.

Qingluan also spread his wings as he had accompanied Zhang Chengdao in the past, and accompanied the tiger, fluttering in the sky.

The tiger ran faster and faster, the clouds followed the dragon, the wind followed the tiger, and a strong wind accompanied the tiger, whizzing past the foot of the mountain.

The tiger was obviously equally happy and roared from time to time.

Just like before.

Soon, the remaining half of the mountain road was completed by Tiger's leap. A group of people were already waiting in the square in front of Tianshi Mansion.

The family jumped off the tiger's back. Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu hugged the tiger's big head and rubbed it again:

"When Xiaoxiao is finished with the ceremony, Shumei and I will go and play with you. We will go to the back mountain to fight with the big black bear as before!"

The tiger nodded slightly, his ears twitched, and he turned around and left.

When it was completely invisible, Zhang Xiao and his parents put down their waving arms.

It was only then that the people waiting in the square coughed twice.

"First senior brother, second senior brother, third senior brother, and fifth senior sister! Oh my, how can I be so embarrassed that I bother all the senior brothers and sisters to come and greet you."

Zhang Chengdao turned around in surprise and said.

Zhang Xiao raised his eyes and saw that these people were all different in height, short, fat, and thin, but they looked very familiar.

If you think about it carefully, isn't this the Longhushan Tiantuan who wore masks and held banners at Shafiq's mansion last time?

The eldest brother is a dull-looking Taoist. At this moment, he is a little happy: "Chengdao, just come back."

"Come, come, come, we haven't seen each other for decades. Last time there was a big event in the capital, so we didn't have time to have a drink and have a good time. This time we will definitely - OK! OK! Get together! Get together!"

The second senior brother is short, fat and somewhat naive, but he speaks with a loud voice.

Especially "Let's get together well" seems to be squeezed out from between the teeth.

"Xiaoxiao, oh, show me to Senior Sister." Fifth Senior Sister is a tall, beautiful woman who looks to be in her forties, but it is said that her actual age is over eighty.

Fifth Senior Aunt stopped Xiaoxiao and walked towards the gate:

"Xiaoxiao, this is your first time back at Longhu Mountain. My aunt and uncle have prepared some gadgets for you. My aunt will show you around and give them to you together."

While saying this, he made a gesture behind his back.

A rich golden light suddenly rose from the bodies of those fellow disciples who had been waiting for them for a long time.

"Thief Sun! I've tolerated you for a long time!"

"Hey! Split the Air Palm!"

"Suffer death! Zhang Chengdao!"

"I'll let you show off, I'll let you show off! I'll beat you to death!"

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but want to look back, but Fifth Senior Aunt held him tightly, quickened her pace and pulled him inside.

After Zhang Xiao came back with a bunch of gadgets, his father was lying in a quiet courtyard, calling out.

Li Qingshu suppressed her smile and applied medicine to him.

His originally handsome face was swollen like a pig's head, and you could hear his screams every time the powder was sprinkled on him.

"Madam, why did they only hit me? You obviously showed off too."

Zhang Chengdao looked at Li Qingshu with resentful eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved because the couple was obviously showing off together.

But several fellow apprentices just grabbed him and beat him.

Zhang Xiao put the gadget on the table aside and glanced sideways at his father, but he didn't feel embarrassed to say anything.

Mom, at most, it was just a post on Moments, but dad, you were just chatting privately!

Is this hatred so stubborn?

"Dad, is your injury okay? It looks quite serious."

"It's a small matter." Li Qingshu pulled Zhang Xiao, pointed at Zhang Chengdao with the pig's head on his head and said:

"It looks serious, but it's actually just a skin injury. It mainly makes him swell. If it wasn't embarrassing, your dad would be able to go out and ride a tiger for a ride now."

Zhang Chengdao hummed twice, agreeing with Li Qingshu's statement.

"Mom, these were given by Fifth Senior Aunt. They said they were gifts given by several elders."

Li Qingshu looked at it: "Gold bricks are thrown out to hit people. Because they only have two functions: flying out and flying back, they are very strong and durable.

Ribbons, Xiaoxiao, have you seen those ancient gods’ portraits or statues? They often have something like floating ribbons on their bodies.

This is it. It can be passed through the armpit and can be carried to fly, but the speed is relatively slow and the turning is not so flexible.

Oh, isn’t this a small circle of heaven and earth? It can also be big or small, similar to a gold brick, but this one can be put on a person to trap the person. "

Li Qingshu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly chuckled:

"They turned you into a little Nezha."

Zhang Xiao thought, these gold bricks, small circles of heaven and earth, and streamers, aren’t they the monkey version of Nezha?

He put the things away happily.

"Xiaoxiao, the day after tomorrow is a test, you don’t have to feel any pressure, after all, the ordination is just equivalent to having the qualification to walk down the mountain, it is not something crucial.

Some people have been in the mountains for decades and still can’t pass the ordination, which does not mean that they are not good.

It’s just that everyone is good at different things. "

Hearing what his mother said, Zhang Xiao's pressure suddenly increased. Isn't this just like someone who repeated the college entrance examination dozens of times but still couldn't go to college?

Finally, it was concluded that this child was not suitable for school.

The pressure came from the unknown. No matter what, the ordination had been expected for so long, and he had to pass it anyway.

'Tick-tock'

The sound of water drops rang in his ears, and Zhang Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, still holding the magic wand in his hand.

An invisible barrier had already blocked in front of him, and the other hand had already held a few yellow talismans.

Vigilance Looking around.

This is a cave, and the tip of a stalactite is dripping water. It was the sound of the dripping water that woke me up.

There is a small bonfire on the ground not far away. The fire has gone out, but there are still dim sparks.

There is a small blanket on the ground that I just turned over, and there is a wooden box in the distance, which seems to contain some sundries.

Where is this?

Zhang Xiao was a little confused. He looked around carefully and threw out a fire talisman to re-ignite the fire.

I am not in the room Are you sleeping? Longhu Mountain is not safe?

Who has the ability to bring me here under the eyes of my parents and the Heavenly Master?

Zhang Xiao cast an illusion spell on himself and put a talisman on himself to make himself disappear, and then he relaxed a little.

He began to think about what happened.

I always felt that it was not realistic to abduct myself and put me here, and thinking of my parents, they always kept it secret about my ordination assessment.

In addition to the three inches of golden light and ten kinds of talismans, they didn't tell me what the other tests were.

Is it because telling me will affect the test?

So where I am now should also be part of the test. Is this an illusion? Or is it real?

Zhang Xiao felt the real touch and the burning of the flames, and caught some dripping water from the stalactites.

The cool and sweet taste reminded him that everything here is real.

If it is an illusion, it is too real.

At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came to his mind:

"Three months ago, a major weird thing happened in Xiaoyang Village, and a total of three disciples from Longhu Mountain went to investigate.

There was no news.

Urgently spread the news that Longhu Mountain is walking, and Tianshifu disciple Zhang Xiao went to Xiaoyang Village to find out the truth and find out the whereabouts of my Longhu Mountain disciples.

If there are weird things causing trouble, kill them! "

Zhang Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a test.

I just don't know where this Xiaoyang Village is. It actually caused three disciples to lose contact.

Zhang Xiao muttered, probably this is why my parents didn't tell me?

Are they afraid that I would be prepared if I knew and the test would not be effective?

After pondering for a while, Zhang Xiao walked to the fire and began to check his luggage.

It seemed to have been expanded. It looked like a wooden box the size of a schoolbag, but it was actually not small. It had at least the space of two large suitcases.

In addition to some daily necessities such as clothes and bedding, Zhang Xiao also found a lot of rituals and rituals.

For example, incense and candles, in addition to the compass, wooden swords, Taoist robes, pens, ink, paper and inkstones commonly used by Taoists, and even a pile of scattered silver and gold beans.

Well. This background should not be modern.

But where is this Xiaoyang Village?

Zhang Xiao closed the wooden box and walked towards the cave entrance.

It was dark outside. It seemed that the season here was late autumn. The wind in the mountains brought a unique coolness of autumn. Intention.

He spun around and looked for a gap in his clothes to get in, taking away the heat from his body.

Zhang Xiao couldn't help shivering, and tightened his clothes with both hands.

He habitually wanted to take out his brass telescope to look at the stars to confirm his position.

But the place where the Qiankun bag should have been hung was empty, and Zhang Xiao realized that it seemed that only one person and the magic wand came in.

Magic wand?

He carefully looked at the magic wand in his hand. Although the appearance was exactly the same, it lacked the agility of flesh and blood.

Zhang Xiao's mouth curled up, and he was sure that this must be an illusion!

The Taoist sect must have the ability to change the season in a small area.

But looking from the mountainside, the scenery is all autumn, which is not something that the Taoist sect can easily do.

Or even if it can be done, it will not be used in a small trial of a disciple.

There is a common small village at the foot of the mountain, perhaps because it is close to the mountains and rivers.

The scale of this village is not small, almost catching up with a small town.

Is this Xiaoyang Village?

Zhang Xiao looked at it for a while.

Suddenly a cold wind blew, and the whole person unconsciously felt a chill.

This chill was different from the ordinary cold, it was more like rising from the bones.

It was as if the whole person was trapped in the icy well water.

Zhang Xiao looked around, and didn't know when, the valley was filled with a faint mist.

Mist and mist, is there nothing else besides mist when these monsters and ghosts appear?

He raised his head and glanced at the moon, but didn't know when, the originally bright moon seemed to be covered with a layer of frosted glass, emitting dim moonlight.

Zhang Xiao's brows slowly frowned. Although he didn't learn Taoism, he read a lot of commonly used Taoist miscellaneous books.

Of course, there are also records about Mao Yueliang.

For example, the Ghost Classic says: "Generally, there must be strange phenomena where powerful evil spirits are.

The most common thing is the hazy moon, as if covered with hairy edges.

The appearance of a hairy moon means that the resentment of the ghost has become so great that it can be seen with the naked eye, so remember, if people of our generation encounter a hairy moon, we must not be careless."

In short, the moon has not actually changed. The reason why it looks like a hairy moon is because the resentment is too great and diffused over the area where the ghost is. The moon becomes a hairy moon when viewed through this resentment.

But Leng Qianyu in Wangjiang before was comparable to a ghost who had been around for many years. His resentment was so great that he could easily control the people in the entire square.

Forcing them to sit down and listen to his own singing.

Even though he was so strong, he didn't create a hazy moon.

In other words, the strange creatures in Xiaoyang Village are much stronger than Leng Qianyu?

How did Xiaoyang Village survive until now?

Although Zhang Xiao was a little surprised, he was not too panicked. At this time, the importance of experience was shown.

I have a general understanding of my own strength level. At least Leng Qianyu's level of ghost was taken down very easily.

At this moment, Zhang Xiao felt a tingling sensation on his back as if he had been electrified.

Golden light instantly burst out from his body, and the whole person rushed forward quickly.

Turning back, he saw a 'woman' wearing a bright red wedding dress and lowering her head standing not far away.

She was wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes, and it seemed that her toes were touching the ground, with most of her feet hanging in the air.

The fingers painted with bright red Dankou stretched straight and stuck to both sides of the body, and turbid liquid dripped down along the long nails of the fingers.

Another female ghost?

"Little Taoist priest, don't meddle in other people's business"

Although the female ghost in the wedding dress did not speak, a voice with warning and boundless hatred came from nowhere.

Don't meddle in other people's business? I would like to, but this is my assessment!

"Sorry, I'm here on the orders of my master to pursue you."

Just as Zhang Xiao opened his mouth, the ghost's resentment suddenly increased by three points, and she cried unpleasantly.

Raising her head, the hideous face covered with lead powder was covered with blood and tears, and her completely black pupils stared at Zhang Xiao.

Then she disappeared.

The mist dissipated, and the moon in the sky emitted a bright light again. Obviously, the fierce ghost had left.

Zhang Xiao stayed there in silence for a while, then returned to the cave, lay on the bed and began to think.

What exactly is this test?

Early the next morning, Zhang Xiao packed up his things and headed for the village at the foot of the mountain.

After all, he was a Taoist priest, and his pace was quite fast. He arrived at the village in a short while.

It was almost the same as what he saw halfway up the mountain before.

This village is quite prosperous, and there is even a memorial archway that you can't see in ordinary villages.

It was early morning, and many people were walking back and forth on the bluestone-paved road.

There were merchants driving carts and peddlers, and farmers carrying hoes who seemed to be going out.

The breakfast shop was already open, and large streams of white steam came out of the steamer, carrying the tempting aroma of meat buns, rushing straight into the nose.

With the hawking of the waiter, there was a strong atmosphere of the market.

Zhang Xiao swallowed his saliva, and didn't know how the door did it, but he could simulate the feeling of hunger so realistically in the illusion.

He couldn't help but move his legs, walked to the front of the shop and asked:

"Waiter, how much is this bun?"

"3 wen each, 10 wen 4!"

Oh, it's still standard Mandarin!

Zhang Xiao touched the loose silver in his pocket and took out the smallest corner:

"Give me four!"

The waiter took the corner of the silver, weighed it skillfully, pinched it again, and neatly wrapped four hot meat buns with lotus leaves.

"Master, this dime is 90 wen for you. Can I ask you for 80 wen?"

Zhang Xiao didn't care. It was just a test. Why bother so much?

After taking the bun, Zhang Xiao was about to take a bite, but he saw a dirty little girl at the entrance of the alley sucking her fingers and staring at the meat bun in her hand.

Zhang Xiao pondered for a while, and asked the waiter for a lotus leaf, wrapped two buns, and prepared to hand them to her.

Although this was just a test.

But if not for anything else, it was for comfort.

Unexpectedly, the little girl took the bun and turned around and ran to the alley.

She also carefully motioned Zhang Xiao to follow.

Zhang Xiao was curious, and walked into the alley while biting the bun.

But he heard the little girl say: "Little Taoist, leave here quickly, this is not a good place."

After speaking, the figure flashed to the side and disappeared.

The bun wrapped in lotus leaves also fell to the ground and shattered into powder, as if it had been dried for a long time.

Zhang Xiao suppressed the horror in his heart and was silent for a while, only to feel that the whole thing became more and more confusing.

The Taoist test. In addition to catching ghosts and slaying monsters, it also includes detectives?

What should I do next?

It is impossible to leave, the test is still here, and the strange thing in Xiaoyang Village seems to have been seen last night.

But there are still no clues about the three missing senior brothers.

Zhang Xiao thought about it silently, but suddenly remembered that when he was looking at the river, his father told him that in the past, the Taoist sect traveled all over the world.

"Look, hear, ask and know" is often used. When you first arrive at a place, you first find someone to find out about any weird news about the place.

These messages often hide the truth.

Zhang Xiao stood at the intersection and looked at it for a while, and soon settled on a store.

‘Izumo Teahouse’

It’s hard to imagine that a teahouse can still exist in such a place!

But in addition to teahouses, Zhang Xiao also saw wine shops, gambling houses, and even a ‘Yichun Tower’!

It’s outrageous. There is a Yichun Tower in a village? I'm afraid this isn't even available in weaker towns, right?

In short, this village has an abnormal prosperity.

Wine shops, teahouses, and spring buildings are all natural intelligence stations, and it is easiest to find information.

It's just that it's early in the morning, the wine shop hasn't opened yet, and the patrons of Chunlou are still resting.

However, the teahouse has already begun to fill up, perhaps with some leisurely and wealthy guests rushing to have morning tea and eating snacks to kill time.

I’ve decided, let’s go to the teahouse!

Zhang Xiao ate the meat buns in two bites, cleaned himself up with his wand, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the teahouse.

As soon as he entered, a neatly dressed waiter came up to him and attentively led Zhang Xiao to an elegant room with bead curtains.

After looking Zhang Xiao up and down calmly, he said with a smile on his face:

"This little Taoist priest, what kind of tea would you like to drink? There is a new tea here that has just arrived. Do you want to try it?"

Zhang Xiao was quite curious about this novel experience. It was an illusion anyway, so he nodded in agreement:

"Make me a pot of good tea."

As soon as the waiter got a dozen towels, he agreed with a smile and shouted: "A distinguished guest, a nice pot of tea!

Make tea——! "

After a while, the waiter held the tea tray and performed tea art for Zhang Xiao with skillful skills.

Under the watchful eye of the waiter, Zhang Xiao finished his first sip of tea and had not tasted it yet.

He just felt that the world was spinning in front of his eyes, and then his eyes went black.

The faint male voice sounded again:

"You're dead."

? ? ?

Am I going to die now? ? ?
