[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

This sleep lasted until the cock crowed and dawn, Xuan Zhen lay on his side all night, even though he had profound Taoism, when he woke up, his shoulders were sore, his neck hurt and his whole body was stiff.At that time Xun Heng was still lying quietly on his side on the bed, he could only smell his long breathing, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.Xuan Zhen looked at his slender neck that was exposed outside the thin quilt and covered with black silk on the pillow, his mind froze for a moment, and he felt that this scene was quite...indescribable.Immediately, he quickly retracted his eyes and walked out, but he didn't realize that his footsteps were slightly cramped, and he lost his usual stability.

After lifting the curtain, Xuan Zhen was startled again.It turned out that there were already three people sitting in the outer main room, and the one who was holding a pipe and puffing smoke from his mouth and nose was Xiang San, but the other two were strangers, and they didn't know who they were.

"Immortal, are you alright?" Hearing the sound of the door curtain, Xiang San turned his head and jumped up from the stool, grabbed the pipe and rushed forward, "Oh, you slept for a day and a night. The lady thinks that you are going to close the door for a year... Hey, no, what are you closing?"

"Retreat!" Mrs. Xiang came in from the door with a wine jar, and said angrily, "A fairy has great powers, how can two monsters make him retreat for a year, I never said that."

Xuan Zhen smiled lightly, shook his head and said: "I'm just a cultivator on Kunlun Mountain. I can't be called an 'immortal'. I can just call Xiang Sange indiscriminately. Don't make fun of Mrs. Xiang." , "I would also like to thank third brother Xiang and his wife for giving up the main house to me. Now that the poisonous gas has been forced out, all that remains is trauma."

"That's very good, very good." Before Xiang San and Xiang's wife opened their mouths, another person sitting at the table stroked his beard and smiled. There was a kindness on that person's face, and Xuan Zhenfang smelled it when he walked nearby. There was a burst of herbal fragrance, and looking at the medicine box by his hand, how could he not guess that this was a healer?

Xiang San said with a smile: "Immortal, this is Sun Langzhong from our town. He is really skilled in medicine, and he is so kind-hearted. I heard that you have saved Qinglong Town from great harm. He has come here every day these days, saying When you come out of retreat, I will take a look at the wound for you!"

Xuan Zhen hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Mr. Sun, for your kindness. Just apply some golden sore medicine and you will be fine. Don't dare to bother."

Sun Langzhong returned the courtesy and said: "Don't be like this, the Taoist priest. You are the great benefactor of the people in our town. Everyone is willing to be a cow or a horse, let alone a small matter of taking pulse and taking medicine. Since the Taoist priest only needs golden sore medicine, it is just right I have some here, wait for me to look for it." Then he opened the medicine box and buried himself in a pile of bottles and jars to search for it.

The younger middle-aged man sitting next to him also smiled and said: "Mr. Sun has always taken it as his duty to heal people, Daoist, you can do as he wishes."

Xuan Zhen had no choice but to sit down beside Sun Langzhong, and Xiang San pointed at the middle-aged man with a bong: "Immortal, this is the mayor of Qinglong Town. If he hadn't called everyone to collect money, he would have I also paid a large amount of silver taels, and I, Xiangsan, will not be able to reach Kunlun Mountain, let alone meet you, the immortal."

The mayor of Qinglong Town shook his head and said: "Money is nothing, as long as the town can be restored to peace, it's okay to go bankrupt. Xiang San, I came this time to thank the Taoist priest, why are you talking about those things again?"

Xuan Zhen smiled and was about to say some modest remarks when he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said: "Mayor, I think you know most of the things in Qinglong Town, I have something to ask, has anyone in your town ever offended a face?" The boy with the scar?" He described the appearance of the ugly boy in detail.

The mayor frowned, and after thinking hard for a long time, he said, "I'm afraid the priest will be disappointed. There are no people with scars in Qinglong Town, and the people have always been harmonious. Nothing major has happened because of this. Why did the Taoist priest ask this question?"

That ugly young man had a vicious mind, although Xuan Zhen got rid of the monster he had domesticated, he failed to catch him, so he always felt uneasy in his heart, worried that the young man would return one day, but if he spoke out his doubts, he was afraid These people in the town have to live in anxiety all day long.Xuan Zhen pondered for a while, and could only vaguely say: "I saw that young man outside the town before, so I have some doubts in my heart."

The mayor nodded dismissively.

Sun Langzhong next to him suddenly raised his head and said, "Are you talking about that crazy kid?"

Xuan Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his eyes to look at him.Langzhong Sun said again: "More than a year ago, a strange young man came to the town. He looked ordinary, but he was actually a lunatic."

"Crazy?" Xuan Zhen asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, I've heard about this too." Xiang San exhaled smoke, and interjected, "That kid is so weird that he insists that he is Granny Pei's son, but he still knows that Granny Pei's neighbors are from nowhere. The neighbor's name and surname, and said he would live in Grandma Pei's ancestral house."

"That's right. Granny Pei happens to live on our street, and we all know her son, who is clearly a man in his 30s," Sun Langzhong shook his head and sighed, regardless of looking for medicine, "what's more ... What's more, Grandma Pei's son, Qin Sheng, was buried at the bottom of the sea a few years ago, how can a dead person be resurrected, and become a teenager beyond recognition?"

"You mean, that young man claimed to be a dead man?" Xuan Zhen frowned and said in surprise.

Sun Langzhong nodded: "Yes. Who can believe this kind of crazy talk? Even if he shows that he is very familiar with us, but that face is very strange, the more he puts on the expression of Qin Sheng and tells people like us What happened in the past made people feel even more frightened. Unexpectedly, another incident happened later, but it made people frightened and angry..."

"What happened?" Xuan Zhen asked.

"Oh, it's really a sin... Ever since Qin Sheng went out to sea and never came back, Grandma Pei lost her only son, and she was very sad. Her husband had passed away a few years ago, and she was the only one left in the house. We neighbors also But I just went to take care of one or two in my free time, how could I know she would commit suicide..." Although it was more than a year ago, Sun Langzhong still sighed, "After that, we buried her in the woods on the east side of the town, During the rainy season, I raised money to repair the tomb. When the young man arrived in Qinglong Town, Granny Pei had been there for two years. He seemed very surprised when he found out about it, and seeing that we were unwilling to talk to him, He didn't bother much, and soon left the town.

"We thought this matter was over, but who knew that there would be so many changes later... When the boy had been gone for about seven or eight days, it suddenly rained continuously, and after finally clearing up, we went to repair the tomb outside the town By the way, I also checked Granny Pei's tomb, who knows that after looking at it, I found out that something big happened. Granny Pei's grave was dug open, the coffin was soaked in water, and the coffin lid was even covered by someone. Open it and put it aside, and the corpse inside... disappeared without a trace!"

Speaking of this, Sun Langzhong's face was full of anger.Xuan Zhen asked: "Could it be that the young man stole Granny Pei's body?"

"That's right." Sun Langzhong nodded heavily, "If he just stole the body, that's all. He also burned Granny Pei to a handful of ashes!"

"What? This kid is really hateful!" Hearing this, Xiang Sanyi immediately hit the table with a bong and screamed angrily.

"What are you calling, let Mr. Sun continue to talk." Mrs. Xiang's family stood on the ground with the wine jar in her hands, and she was fascinated by what she heard. At this time, she patted her husband hard, and hurriedly turned around to fetch three wine bowls, "Yes, I forgot about the wine, Sun Langzhong, you have been talking for so long, moisten your throat first." While talking, he poured the wine and handed it to everyone.

Sun Langzhong took a sip of his wine and put down the bowl: "At first we all scolded the person who dug up the grave, thinking that the thieves who wanted to steal some funeral objects ruined the bones. After a few days later, the boy came back, Holding a jar in his hand, he told us triumphantly that there was Granny Pei in it. I still remember the expression on his face when he said that, he was obviously still smiling, and it was creepy to see. He said: 'Since you don't welcome me here, I had no choice but to leave here with my mother. Unfortunately, the body has been put in the soil for so long and it is already rotten. I had to burn her and put her in a jar. Wouldn't it be convenient? 'He touched the jar with a smile on his face, he looked satisfied and joyful, without a trace of guilt for disturbing the souls of the dead!

"At that moment, a few young men shouted and cursed, and went up to take the jar, but that young man was unremarkable, but his kung fu was a bit powerful, and the jar was still in his hands, and those young men were also furious at that time Turned, one of them came out with a watermelon knife from the house, and immediately hit the young man, only heard a crackling sound, we all stood on the spot, the young man was in great pain, but he was in so much pain It wasn't that I was severely slashed in the face, but that the jar containing Grandma Pei's ashes was knocked to the ground and smashed to pieces!"

"Then Grandma Pei's ashes..." Xuan Zhen frowned even tighter.

"That's right... the jar on the ground was broken into pieces, and the ashes were scattered everywhere. Poor Granny Pei has no peace after her death, and even the ashes can't be preserved." Sun Langzhong sighed, "The boy's face was covered with blood He was dyed red, it looked really scary, he just stared blankly at the ashes, his eyes showed incomparable sadness and despair. Hearing a burst of laughter, it came from the boy's mouth, he laughed loudly, and glanced at us one by one, those eyes were empty, there was no emotion at all, I saw it in my heart He clicked. Then he said: "Since it's dirty, I don't want it, but you people in Qinglong Town don't think about it. Yes, mother suffered the pain of losing a child before she died, so you might as well How about a taste?' After saying that, he walked away without even looking at the broken jar and the ashes on the ground."

"Oh, why don't you stop that bastard?" Xiang San shouted angrily.

"Oh, I'm ashamed to say that. The boy's behavior at that time scared everyone so much that they didn't dare to move. I don't know where he got his aura from a skinny kid? Later, we had to collect the ashes of Grandma Pei and choose a new place. Buried in the soil, the boy never came to dig the grave, nor did he appear again."

Sun Langzhong finally finished talking about the past, sighed, picked up the wine bowl and drank it slowly.Except for the sound of Xiang San beating his bong on the table to vent his anger, there was only silence in the room.
