Dragon Seal

Gong Liangzhi and Wei Zhao lost their horses, so they could only follow the villagers back with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Fortunately, all the important items were in the mustard bag, and the running horse did not take anything essential.Gong Liangzhi made a trick and put the half-person-high wooden bucket in Wei Zhao's hand back into the mustard bag. The villagers looked at this scene with even more cautious expressions on their faces.

Gong Liangzhi, however, seemed to have not seen their attitude change, and chatted with the negotiator just now along the way.His tone was gentle and friendly, and he only asked about the scenery of the mountains, the crops and game, which made the stern-faced villager relax a lot after a while.Halfway through the journey, the team with only the sound of footsteps became lively, and several people walking around him also participated in the conversation.

They walked for a while, and a village appeared in front of them, with a row of huts showing a vague outline in the light.A few people were looking forward to it at the entrance of the village, showing surprise for the returning team.Someone in the team ran over quickly, and whispered something in an old man's ear.The old man's expression changed several times, he glanced at Gong Liangzhi and Wei Zhao in disbelief, and walked up to them with small steps.

"Old Wang Degui, the head of Wang's Village," he bowed his hands to Gong Liangzhi, "I'm really ashamed, ashamed to have troubled the Taoist priest to leave today!"

"Poverty Dao should be sorry." Gong Liangzhi replied, "I am an ignorant disciple who accidentally damaged the stele in Guicun. Dare I ask how should I make up for it?"

The village head twisted his beard and shook his head, showing a troubled expression.He sighed and said, "Oh, that's a long story. My village has lived and worked in peace and contentment for hundreds of years relying on stone steles in every town and village. The secret behind it cannot be explained clearly in just a few words. It would be great if the Taoist leader is willing to help. but……"

Having said that, the village head looked at Gong Liangzhi, and patted his head as if suddenly enlightened. "Look at this old man's eyesight!" He said ashamedly, "You two must be very tired, it's getting late, let's settle down today, let's talk about it tomorrow."

He called "Sanlang" to the crowd, and a half-grown child responded crisply, and came out to stand in front of them.The village head ordered him to take the two guests to the guest room, he nodded emphatically, and walked to the front to lead the way.

The weather was bad that day, the sun was blocked by dense clouds during the day, and now there is no moon or stars to illuminate the road.People in the countryside work at sunrise and rest at sunset. There are no lights in the house, and the guest room for entertaining guests is deep in the village. As you walk, it gets darker and darker. The only light source is the torch in Sanlang's hand.Looking back, Wei Zhao saw that the torches that sent them into the village were still parked at the entrance of the village. The people holding the torches gathered there, and they could vaguely see their faces facing here.

After turning two more houses to the guest room, Sanlang walked into the room and lit an oil lamp on the table.The dim light illuminates a bed, a table, and a chair in the room... Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.The house was surprisingly okay, without the musty smell of perennial vacancy.

"There are special guest rooms in such a remote place," Gong Liangzhi looked around the room, "Do you often have guests coming to your village?"

"Wang's Village is the most hospitable." Sanlang replied, "Grandfather said that even if there are no guests for three to five years, the guest room must be cleaned, and rare guests cannot be neglected."

"I have a heart." Gongliang praised him.

Saburo tidied up for a while, then left with a torch.Before leaving, he also said that he lived in the next room and that they could find him if they could, and it was not polite.

There were only the two of them left in the room.

"You didn't say a word all the way, what were you thinking?" Gong Liangzhi asked.

Wei Zhao let out an "ah", as if he had just woken up.He said embarrassedly: "I just found out today that Taoist priest is so good at chatting, I feel ashamed."

Gong Liang gave him a speechless look, probably bowing down to his ability to focus.Wei Zhaoqian laughed, looked east and west, and said in a fuss, "Oh, there is only one bed! It seems that Daochang is crowded with me today."

"It's enough to meditate in Pindao." Gong Liangzhi said, "You make today's exercise soup first."

So Wei Zhao picked up a body-training soup again and soaked it in.

His answer just now was not a lie, Wei Zhao had known Gong Liangzhi for so many years, and only now did he know that Gong Liangzhi could be so talkative with a group of mortals.This matter is much more interesting than this village. Wei Zhao has always known in the past that Gong Liangzhi is actually just like him, with a bit of arrogance in his bones.

When people talk about the proud son of Heaven in Qiantian Valley, Wei Zhao will be mentioned first.Wei Zhao wants to do his best in everything and has a very flamboyant personality.Compared with him, an eye-catching guy, people often forget that Gong Liangzhi, who is much more low-key than him, is also a 19-year-old foundation-building genius.

Among the dragons and phoenixes, how can there be no arrogance at all.

When he was young, Gong Liangzhi was also very proud, so proud that he was quite secretive, only showing a cold appearance of being devoted to Taoism.The vast majority of people can't catch his eyes, and he won't waste a little time and energy on them. Most of the negotiations are done by Wei Zhaolai——Wei Zhao is very energetic and does whatever he wants, but he is very happy to talk to cats casually. Cats and dogs chat a few words.

Wei Zhao opened his eyes in the bathtub, and looked at Gong Liangzhi who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed not far away.Not seen in ten years, Gong Liangzhi's outline has matured a bit (given that the appearance of a cultivator should not change after foundation establishment, this is not a good thing), his brows are soft, his smile is warm, and he looks like a gentleman.Time is like a knife, and I don't know what happened in these years to sharpen a sharp sword like this.

It's weird, Wei Zhao thought that Gong Liang, who would cut him like a melon, would become even more unkind in the future, why did he become soft instead?But having said that, ice skates can be turned into warm water in ten years, and warm water can also be turned into glaciers in a few hundred years. Time is ruthless.

Perhaps sensing Wei Zhao's gaze, Gong Liangzhi opened his eyes.Before he could speak, Wei Zhao took the lead and said, "Will the Daoist keep guarding me like this, will it delay my practice?"

"How do you know that Pindao is not practicing?" Gong Liangzhi said.

"I heard that you have to stay in a secluded place when you practice," Wei Zhao said, "The Taoist priest took me around in this secular world. It's too bad that I can't practice."

He put on a worried look, as if he was really worried about it.

"It doesn't matter..." Gong Liangzhi said, "You can also practice in the world of mortals. This is to cultivate your mind."

Wei Zhao looked at Gongliang with admiration, and felt a little melancholy in his heart.He thinks Gongliang is a guy like you, he hasn't seen you for a few years, and he is so good at lying with truncated truths that he can come up with anything he wants.

Cultivate your mind?During those years of cultivating their hearts, they lived together.

Children who go up to Qiantian Valley are not allowed to go down the mountain until the fifth level of Qi training, and after the fifth level of Qi training, they will go down the mountain for a year of experience.After a year of practice, return to the mountain and be tested by the teacher to see whether this person is suitable for practicing the path of sentient beings or the path of ruthlessness.

The year Wei Zhao broke through the fifth level of Qi training, he forcibly suppressed his cultivation for a month, and when Gongliang finally broke through, he went down the mountain together.Before he went down the mountain, he knew that he was only suitable for cultivating the path of sentient beings, and it turned out to be the case.As soon as Wei Zhao arrived at the foot of the mountain, he felt like a fish in water. He only felt that there was nothing wrong with the world outside Qiantian Valley.

Gong Liangzhi was an orphan, and he never mentioned how he was before being taken up the mountain by his master.He would eat whatever the steward gave him, and he would wear whatever the steward gave him. He didn't like anything in particular, and he didn't seem to dislike anything.Once Master Lu was playing chess with Fu Zhenren of Shuiyue Temple, and Fu Zhenren accidentally knocked over the magic weapon heart-refining box at Gong Liangzhi's feet, and Gong Liangzhi didn't change his face in front of the magic weapon that could induce fear in his heart. , picked it up quietly.Fu Zhenren clapped his palms and laughed, saying that if this son cultivates the way of ruthlessness, he will have a bright future.Lu Zhenren smiled without saying a word, quite complacent.

They were happy, but Wei Zhaoke was not happy at all.What would Wei Zhao do if Gongliang Zhixiu went to practice the ruthless way?He didn't dare to imagine Gongliangzhi retreating and ignoring him every day, and he didn't even want to think about the scene of not being accompanied by Gongliangzhi on the way of cultivating his mind.During that year's experience, he tried his best to make Gong Liang Zhi like something, just asking his little friend to be concerned about it, so that he would not see through the world of mortals and shut himself up to death.

They slay demons and demons, punish evil and promote good, eat delicious food everywhere, and travel all over the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers.They once fought side by side, narrowly escaping death from the evil cultivators who have been accumulating for years; they also sparred with each other for days and nights, until the true energy was exhausted, and the two of them fell asleep on the field, not bothering to get out a mat.Qiantiangu Shuangbi gradually became famous, their cultivation base and experience increased day by day, and the day was getting closer to the day of returning to the mountain.

Wei Zhao became more and more uneasy, and didn't want to directly express his worries to Gong Liangzhi.He knew that if he said it, Gongliang would at most choose the path of sentient beings for him, and it was not too difficult for the two of them to change the final result in the test.But if Gong Liangzhi is allowed to choose a path that is not suitable for him, it will be difficult to fulfill his Taoism, which is tantamount to blocking his path. Wei Zhao will never allow this to happen to a close friend.He had no choice but to worry secretly, then went to the doctor in a hurry, and believed in an extremely stupid legend.

They passed by Liang Guo at that time, and it was the time of Liang Guo's Huachao Festival.Legend has it that the person who can pick the most beautiful flower at the Flower Festival will be blessed by the flower fairy and have a lifetime of love.I also know that this is another legend about a couple begging to grow old together, but the stunned young Wei Zhao at the beginning only heard "youqing".Love is good!Isn't what you want is affection?He didn't even think about it, he pulled Gong Liangzhi up, and said he was going to the Queen Bee Valley to steal royal jelly, but he was actually going there for the flowers.

The flowers in the Valley of the King Bee are extremely beautiful, and no mortal dares to pick them, because there are not ordinary wild bees all over the valley, and the queen bee among them is a real nine-layer Qi training monster.Wei Zhao and Gong Liangzhi packed up their equipment and rushed into the Valley of the Queen Bee confidently, intending to avoid the queen bee and grab a ticket before leaving.Wei Zhao picked the largest and most beautiful flower among them. His vision was too good, and the Queen Bee took a fancy to the same flower.

The result can be imagined.

They ran for hundreds of miles, Gong Liangzhi ran out of battle maps and had no time to draw any more, so the two could only run with their lives on Wei Zhao's flying sword, being chased and beaten like two dogs.All kinds of adventures are not humane, Wei Zhao insists on breaking through, fighting to get stung into a pig's head and grab the queen bee's flower.Finally, they managed to escape at midnight on this day, and Wei Zhao hurriedly took out his pockets, trying to send the flowers out before the end of the day.

The hand that had been stung into a pig's trotter scratched and scratched again and again, the more he scratched, the paler his face became.His mustard bag was nowhere to be found, including the flowers of course.

"It's okay, the royal jelly is with me." Gong Liangzhi comforted him.

The bell is ringing in the distance, and the Huachao Festival is over.Wei Zhao wanted to cry, but felt like he had fed the dog all day.

Gong Liangzhi laughed behind him, and his breathing made his ears itchy——Wei Zhao's true energy was enough to make Feijian land smoothly, but Gong Liangzhi didn't even have the energy to stabilize his own, so he had to hold Feijian and drive the waist of the patient.Wei Zhao wanted to look back at him a little bit, turned halfway and remembered that his handsome face was now a pig's head, so he turned back again.

"Don't worry, Ah Zhao." Gong Liangzhi said, "I can't cultivate the way of ruthlessness."
