with the way

Que Ting.

A Tuo and the others were tied behind their hands and fixed on the big furnace, they couldn't even move their necks, and they didn't know where that guy A Luo was.Those people forced a white handkerchief into his mouth, and A Tuo hummed to make a sound, but he couldn't make a sound.Looking at this tumbling cauldron from above, it was as big as a room, like a huge mouth, trying to swallow them all in one gulp.A Tuo suddenly became a little scared, and the buzzing sound became louder.Among the melodious bells, drums and zithers, that sound is not worth mentioning.Those black-clothed villains below, are they being caught to be boiled and eaten?

Your Majesty!Your Majesty!

You will not die, A Tuo widened his eyes, trying to remember every face.Even if you die, you will be ghosts in the next life, and you will not be let off!

He stepped forward and respectfully said to Yang Xuan, "Master, everything is ready."

Yang Xuan nodded, waved his hands, looked at the melting furnace with rising green smoke, and said softly: "Method, alchemy."

The group of children were originally directly above the cauldron, but now they are slowly descending bit by bit, and the high-temperature gas that I don't know how to describe blows towards them.Sooner or later, there was a loud bang from the furnace cauldron, the whole thing was torn apart, and the thick vermilion liquid leaked out everywhere. Several members of the Yang family were scalded, holding their heads and screaming.Cheng En, dressed in a gray robe, stood on a bamboo branch and suddenly appeared.

Countless talismans flashed quickly around him, and the wind whistled.The flexible yellow talisman spread out with ease, burning and exploding in front of the foreheads of the remaining men in black.The sparks creaked, and a golden light penetrated into the souls that sealed their brow chakras, and their movements were locked. Although they could move slightly, they did not cause much danger.

Cheng En searched in the chaos, and after a closer look, he locked on to a person.Even if the highly recognizable Nengmian mask was replaced by an ordinary Nuo mask, just by looking at his body shape, he could still recognize this tall, thin, white and dark man as the one he had fought with Cheng En not long ago.

Dodging in front of Yang Xuan, Cheng En poked vigorously at the Throat Chakra and Heart Chakra of the mastermind behind the scenes, further restraining that person's actions, completely ignoring what Yang Xuan said.He circled around Yang Xuan again, still feeling inappropriate, found a fist-thick rope, tied him up, stuffed his mouth, and pasted sleepy charms, zombie charms, etc. on the forehead of the mask A bunch of talismans that don't look very good.In this way, there is not much space left on the Nuo mask.

Cheng Daozhang clapped his hands in a good mood.The group of dolls who were still hanging in mid-air witnessed the sudden change, and were speechless for a while.Cheng En hurried forward to put the man down on the ground and untied him.Cheng En didn't take a closer look at what this group of radish heads looked like. The twelve bean curds all huddled together and surrounded Cheng En, not daring to go far, but they didn't say anything.The more courageous one sobbed softly, which gradually attracted more and more crying.

Cheng Enxin said: This group of people really know how to pick, just pick some disciples who seem to have qualifications and have immortal fate.

Among a group of children who were wiping each other's tears, Cheng En's old acquaintance, Mr. Tuo, happened to comfort another child who was dressed exactly like him in a friendly voice.

A Tuo patted the top of A Luo's head: "Okay, A Luo, you are too. Since ancient times, auspicious people have been blessed by heaven, and good people have been blessed by heaven."

Ah Luo was not comforted at all, and threw himself into A Tuo's arms and continued to cry.

Cheng En found it interesting, squatted down, lightly touched the top of Mr. Tuo's head, and said, "It's all right."

Seeing this heavenly savior, A Tuo pushed A Luo aside in disgust, and said to Cheng En, "We, there is one more person who is missing." A Tuo lowered his head and rubbed his sleeves, feeling guilty in his heart, "He He ran away with us, but later...he helped us lure those people away." A Tuo breathed out and raised his eyes: "Hero, he uses these talismans just like you, he is your Someone? Do you know where he went after that?"

Cheng En picked up Mr. Tuo, patted his back and coaxed, "He's fine, and you are fine."

A Tuo, who has always been very reliable, suddenly burst into tears.

General Peng Yue, dressed in casual clothes and with a short beard, stepped into Que Ting, and was very impressed when he saw the scenery.He has been familiar with that group of subordinates since he was a child, and they usually spend some time on the road for outings and sightseeing.Walking to the center, I saw a group of children surrounding the little Taoist priest, listening to him tell some interesting adventure stories.When Cheng En saw the person coming, he quickly stood up and cupped his hands: "General."

Peng Yue laughed loudly, and bowed together: "Mr. Peng has already resigned from his post, and I hope the Taoist priest will not make fun of him."

When the incident broke out a few days ago, Cheng En came to Longhu Mountain and released a carrier pigeon to Peng Yue.The distance between Longhu Mountain and Changzhou is far away. Unexpectedly, the Pengyue people will arrive in just a few days.The subordinates brought by General Peng swiftly took away the people lying on the ground and imprisoned them. They also placed the group of dolls who hadn't eaten for several days and nights together.

Cheng En said with a smile: "The follow-up treatment of those mirages is up to General."

Peng Yue waved his hand: "Where is it, Mr. Peng thanked the Taoist priest for his hard work."

Cheng En knew his character early on, so he took it easy: "General, criticism and glory have always been one. I have already dug this tree, and it will attract wind from now on. Dare to ask the general, are you ready?"

Peng Yue didn't expect Cheng En to talk about this matter directly, so instead of answering, he asked, "According to what the Taoist priest sees, how should we judge this case?"

Cheng En smiled, and took out the white folding fan in his sleeve: "No talent, the government has always judged cases. A Maoshan Taoist dare not discuss state affairs in vain. But Cheng En only hopes that the general will remember that the law of heaven is not benevolent, and all things are regarded as grass." dog."

These words were serious, Peng Yue's face was somewhat dark, and he said bluntly: "Cheng Daochang is serious. Now that there is peace and prosperity, it is destiny to be the emperor. I hope Cheng Daochang will stop talking about it."

Cheng En laughed heartily and refused to let go: "General, you don't have to be cautious. Cheng En is still watching the general invite me to drink a glass of royal wine."

Peng Yue's subordinates were always paying attention to the situation here, and they all froze when they heard this. This Taoist actually asked his master to rebel, which is a serious crime of beheading.One of them couldn't listen anymore, and came to help his master: "You Taoist priest, don't just talk nonsense just because my master values ​​you. Is it possible to say these words?"

Cheng En completely ignored the righteous words of that subordinate, and continued shaking his fan: "General, there is no destiny in the world, only the alternation of the sun and the moon. Cheng En's words are not incitement, and indeed there is no guarantee. If the general has no intention , Cheng En will not mention it again. If the general has the heart," Cheng En paused, "if you have the heart, please remember what benevolence is."

The subordinate was even more angry just now, this Taoist priest is still insinuating that his master is planning to usurp the throne, it is simply frantic and nonsense.Peng Yue repelled that subordinate without saying a word.

After walking around, he found that he had nothing to do. Now that the manager came, Cheng En threw the rest of the burden to General Peng Yue.Cheng En bid farewell to those little Doudings and Peng Yue, and retreated to the teacher's door by himself, so as to feel at ease.

It's better to come early than to come by coincidence. After Cheng En quickly returned to the teacher's gate, a cold air rushed towards him.

Cheng Tianci smiled and said, "Ping Zai'er, where did you go?"

Cheng En yelled: "Master, your old man is back."

Cheng En's master——Cheng Tianci, is a man who has lived for an unknown number of years, with a big belly, a shiny face, and white hair. A few days ago, Tianci was happy somewhere, dyed her white hair black, and the creases on her face became smoother.Even so, they are still unkempt, wretched and rascal, and the master and apprentice are both rolling in the mud, a tattered image that competes with each other.

Cheng En hurried forward to beat his back and shoulders, asking for warmth.Cheng Tianci didn't like him at all, looked at the bumps and bloodstains on Cheng En's body, and said leisurely: "Hurry up and see how much trouble you caused me, it's not bad, I don't need to collect your body for you."

Cheng Tianci ignored Cheng En, who was following behind him, and walked to the rattan chair beside the bamboo forest to sit down.Seeing this, Cheng En knew how much it would be inevitable to preach, and knelt down on his knees crisply: "Master, I was wrong."

Cheng Tianci gulped down the Yufeiyin from the gourd, wiped his cuffs so that the corners of his mouth were waterproof: "Hey, Scale, I'm afraid you forgot the precepts I made and went to the clouds in the sky?"

Cheng En bowed his head to be taught, and the little padded jacket put on a show: "Don't dare."

Cheng Tianci almost pointed at the orchid: "Why don't you dare? I think your wings are hard, and I don't even pay attention to them. One day, I have someone else in my heart, and I don't know where to go." , tell you boy to go down the mountain and ask me for an apprentice daughter-in-law..."

Cheng En quickly got up from the ground, picked his ears, and said, "Okay, Master, I won't play this game with you anymore. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first." After finishing speaking, he walked directly into the courtyard.

Cheng Tianci was furious: "You boy, come back and recite the precepts of the teacher three times for me—"

Cheng En was so familiar with his master's peeing behavior that he ran under the big willow tree outside the forbidden room without turning his head. The statue of Gu Zhengqing was still there!He ran to the destination in a hurry, Gu Zhengqing's petrification was solved by Cheng Tianci first.Now Gu Zhengqing is leaning against the willow tree, with a wreath made of willow leaves on his head, and his hands are neatly placed in a posture of hugging his shoulders, and he is still unconscious.

Needless to say, when Gu Zhengqing was in a coma, the childlike Cheng Tianci made a fool of him.

Cheng Tianci leaned over from behind, and said to Cheng En, "Hey, you gave him too many pills. This man has lost his temper. Then he was rescued by your brave master. Now there is no problem at all."

Cheng En nodded, "Yes."

He looked at Gu Zhengqing who was unconscious, and then at Cheng Tianci who was begging for praise from his own family, and he deeply understood that he had made Qingzi miserable.Thinking of the light and airy posture of Immortal Yanshu's detoxification, I really coughed up old blood in my heart, which is incomparable.

Cheng Tianci said to Cheng En: "But, this doll's skills are not bad at the moment because of some pills you fed randomly." Cheng Tianci patted Cheng En on the shoulder, "Now that I have passed the qualifications, I will stay in the teacher's school and give you Be a companion?"

Cheng Tianci thought selfishly, since the legendary life-saving talisman was destroyed, his apprentice might have to run away while he was away, causing a scene of disturbance everywhere, and he couldn't always follow.Just recruit another small one, give some pointers, and use it as a bodyguard.

Cheng En glanced at his master.He is very clear about his own qualifications, even if he pulls out a random person on the street, he is much better than him.His weak cultivation base was forcibly poured out by his master over the years, and no amount of it would be enough.Gu Zhengqing only took a few pills to become enchanted. Even if enchanted is the opposite of becoming an immortal, his aptitude is much better than the mediocre Taoist Cheng.

Their sect is also cultivating immortals and discussing Taoism, and the ultimate goal is logically to become immortals, so naturally they also hope that the lintels will shine.On weekdays, Cheng Tianci didn't mention this matter to him at all. Even the places that Master frequented, he didn't dare to pick him up because it was too dangerous. Presumably, he had defined himself.Now that there is one more helper, it is good to fulfill his master's wish that he dare not talk about.

Taoist Cheng knows that everyone has his own life, so he doesn't care about it.Nodding his head, he said, "Look at his own wishes."

Gu Zhengqing, who was still in a coma, was arranged for an ending without saying a word.When Gu Zhengqing woke up in the evening, Daoist Cheng and Daoist Cheng were having a drink with Yue, chatting happily and exchanging their respective situations during this time.

When Gu Zhengqing walked out, Cheng En just exclaimed: "Master, isn't he, is he leaving tomorrow?"

Cheng Tianci blew his beard and stared, pretending to be jealous: "I came back from a long distance just because of you, an uneasy thing! I still have to stay in Chenyongguan for a year or so, and you give me a good time in the master's gate during this time." Stay inside! Don't go anywhere!"

Cheng En didn't care.Seeing Gu Zhengqing coming, he quickly changed the subject: "Yo, Qingzi, you're awake, come and have a drink together."

Gu Zhengqing rarely looked at Cheng En seriously, and asked, "Master Daoist, have you ever met a person with the same name and surname as me?"

Cheng En shook his head blankly.

Gu Zhengqing asked hard: "It's just a mirage in another place, there is no one with the same name as me?"

Cheng En still shook his head and said affirmatively, "I've never heard of it."

Cheng Tianci was sitting paralyzed and biting the head of the gourd, not paying attention to their conversation at all.Gu Zhengqing went straight to Cheng Tianci, knelt neatly, and said: "I also ask the Taoist priest to teach me spells." After finishing speaking, he kowtowed three times.

Kneeling straight, kowtowed head unambiguously, as if I won't get up if you don't promise me.

Cheng Tianci: "..."

Cheng En hurried to whisper to his master: "Master has a door and a door, don't you want to recruit an apprentice? Hurry up and agree."

Cheng En's wishful thinking was crackling, throwing the new little apprentice to the master to cultivate feelings, pouring tea and water for his master, he can feel a little more at ease when he is not around.His mountain is high and the emperor is far away, which is just right for him to continue to harm the world.Cheng En's morality was not as good as Cheng Tianci's, and he completely ignored what Gu Zhengqing said was "teaching spells", not "becoming a teacher".

Cheng Tianci stroked his beard pretendingly, and replied: "Boy, if you don't want to worship me, how can I teach you spells?"

Gu Zhengqing's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and continued to kowtow, "Thanks to the Taoist priest for not giving up, he bears a bloody feud. If he does not avenge this grudge, he dare not speak lightly."

Cheng En suddenly realized, and suddenly became uneasy: "Well, if it is the mirage, it has probably been resolved." Cheng En sorted out the recent events to Gu Zhengqing again.After hearing this, the latter still had that neither humble nor overbearing expression, "I also ask the Taoist priest to teach me spells."

Cheng Tianci shook the white folding fan he snatched back from Cheng En, and said: "You, because my apprentice is insane, I have added a little bit of mana. If I don't control it properly, I will still be a devil in the future. This is our responsibility Come on. I'll teach you a few spells, it's not impossible. It's just that we'll see you in the future, don't mention us to others."

Cheng Tianci thought: Tsk, if you don't want it, I'm not willing to accept it.

Gu Zhengqing kowtowed upright, and bowed again.

Cheng En's head got dizzy listening to his master's official talk, and his master would not take a little loss.Anyway, the old man verbally agreed, and he would never go back on his word, so he pulled Cheng Tianci to save his master from talking about what he had and what he didn't, which would make the little boy feel uncomfortable.Cheng En told some more about what he saw and heard when he unwrapped the lottery for others, and then exposed the matter of learning magic from a teacher.

Although the result was not as good as they imagined, they thought that the matter of Gu Zhengqing's arrangement should be over anyway.

Unexpectedly, early the next morning, Gu Zhengqing was stunned again and burned all the belongings in the master's gate.Cheng Tianci, who was still asleep, was smoked, jumped up with a dark face, lifted the quilt, and cleaned up the perpetrator effortlessly.

Cheng Tianci: I didn’t eat like this before.

Gu Zhengqing, who was in the black mist, was in a daze, looking at the black charcoal and broken stones on the ground, obviously not aware of what happened again.

Cheng Tianci made a grimace, and said to Cheng En, who was following him: "This guy's obsession is too deep. It's not enough to suppress the terror once or twice. I'm afraid it will take a while."

Cheng En squatted down, looked at Gu Zhengqing who was also squatting on the ground, and said softly, "You remember it all?"

Gu Zhengqing reluctantly nodded.

When Cheng Enchu brought Qingzi back to his teacher's school, he fell ill.Gu Zhengqing made Daoist Cheng toss about all the time, lost half his life, and added a bit of demonic energy, so his memory was confused.After Cheng Tianci's wonderful hand of rejuvenation yesterday, it can be regarded as recalling all the ins and outs of what happened in the first half of his life.

ingrained.

Cheng En didn't discuss the matter of Gu Zhengqing with his master in detail.However, although Cheng Tianci was in the dark, according to what Cheng En said earlier, he probably guessed Gu Zhengqing's origin in the end, so he never made any words against Gu Zhengqing.With a drunk belly, Cheng Tianci stood behind the two of them, listening quietly, like a great god.

Cheng En: "Can you let go?"

Gu Zhengqing did not answer.Just looking at the situation, Cheng En knew he couldn't let it go.Cheng En said: "Do I need to forget it?" He also thought that if he had to, feed him a bowl of forgetting soul water, the medicine will cure the disease, and all obsessions will be weeded out.

Gu Zhengqing shook his head and refused. He didn't understand Cheng En's kindness, and insisted on apologizing for the mess he made, and got up to clean up and pay compensation.It was the same last time, it was even more difficult to pry Qingzi's mouth open.

Cheng En let out a long sigh, and said in a cold voice, "Tell me, what else do you want to let go of? Do you have relatives at home? Why do you want to learn spells as soon as you wake up?"

Gu Zhengqing didn't see Cheng En's expressionless face, he was used to Cheng En's good manners, and at this moment, his anger also came up, and he said stubbornly: "There is no father or mother, and there is no one to trust in the family."

Cheng En didn't give in at all, and was very tough: "In this case, just forget about the past and forget about it. Once it's done, drink the soul water, and you will be at ease in the future."

Gu Zhengqing was as stubborn as a cow, with a bit of grievance that was hard to detect: "I made a deal with a person, and I'm going to find him! So, don't forget!"

Cheng En's voice was louder than his: "Who are you looking for!"

Gu Zhengqing spoke uprightly: "I want to find Gu Zhengqing, I've agreed with him!"

Cheng Daochang was blinded for a moment, and the sudden unfolding made him unable to continue the cliché, he was stunned, and said in a daze: "Isn't your name Gu Zhengqing?"

Gu Zhengqing raised her voice three more times: "I remember wrongly, my name is not Gu Zhengqing, my surname is Su!"

Cheng En turned around expressionlessly, looked at his own master who covered his mouth with his hands expressionlessly, but was holding back his laughter, pointed to the fake Gu Zhengqing and asked, "Memory?"

Cheng Tianci waved his hands again and again, he was a little out of breath after laughing for too long, and repeatedly assured Cheng En that with his profound skills, it is absolutely impossible to cure a person into a memory disorder.

In Cheng En's list, there was no other person named Gu Zhengqing.If it wasn't for the confusion in the memory of Mr. Su, the real Gu Zhengqing might have died in Que Ting.It's just this sentence, but he doesn't know how to say it.

When this Gu Zhengqing was just brought back by Cheng En, he knew only a little about what happened to him, and only knew the outline, and he didn't remember anything about the past.

Because of this, he fell into a demon, and he also hated that he couldn't wash away his shame and grievances. He also thought about dragging those people to be buried with him, and also thought about forgetting all the past from now on, so that he can live a better life in the future.After thinking about everything later, everything was interrupted by a promise.

His original name was Su He. As far back as he could remember, Gu Zhengqing grew up with him in the temple on the aid of kind-hearted people.They were stunned and grabbed into the carriage together, watching Gu Zhengqing being taken to another place, they forgot each other ever since.He, Su He, once promised Gu Zhengqing that as long as he escapes, he must go to him.It is a pity that many decisions made by people, no matter how loud they shout, cannot turn things around.

By accident, the name he put on the mirage poster was Gu Zhengqing who he wanted to remember forever.

Su He was well aware of his paleness and powerlessness, so he had no choice but to cling to this unfamiliar Taoist priest who saved him from the fire and water, and was worried that the other party would alienate him, a troublesome spirit, so he kept his mouth shut.Now being caught by Cheng En, he had no choice but to turn his head aside and stop talking.

Cheng En didn't know that he was more thoughtful than a girl. After thinking about it, he wanted to tell him about Que Ting, but not now.Then he said to Su He: "Do you want to consider joining my sect? From now on, you will go out to practice with my master. You can inquire about the news along the way, and my master can also help suppress the demonic nature in your body. You may leave the sect in the future. , or keep it, it's up to you. How?"

Cheng Tianci hastily elbowed Cheng En and stared at him: When did I say he was going to follow me? !How can there be such a big good thing?Don't you want to do odd jobs for three to five years when you join our teacher's school?

Cheng En pretended not to notice, and continued to ask Gu Zhengqing: "But you have thought it over, and you really don't forget the past?"

Gu Zhengqing's answer was extremely straightforward, and he kowtowed unambiguously: "Pray for the Tao to grow and be perfect!"

Cheng Tianci couldn't say a word, and was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.Hastily pulled Cheng En aside and chewed his tongue, "You really want me to take him with you, aren't you afraid that someone on the road will accidentally drive him away?"

Cheng En put his hands on his master's shoulder, and said quietly: "It's very pitiful, that Gu Zhengqing is probably dead. I can't help him subdue his demon nature, and he has to bring a demon head with him, which is very dangerous. I will stay on the mountain. Promise not to go anywhere."

Cheng Tianci gave Cheng En a blank look, a fool would believe your nonsense, but he didn't know how to reject his apprentice, so he had to emphasize again and again: "I only take people with me, I don't care what happens on the road."

Cheng En hurried down the steps: "Mmm, there is nothing wrong with my master in the world." He raised his hand and called Su He over.

The three of them were all activists, and they immediately held a rudimentary apprenticeship ceremony.Toasting tea, kowtow, and swearing the precepts of the master's school, it barely looks like it.Fortunately, most of the fires were concentrated in the bedroom courtyard, and the main hall of the division gate was not burned.

The main hall of Cheng Enshi's gate is similar to that of a rich family. The walls have not been painted for a long time, and the walls are somewhat peeling off.There are two rows of mahogany armchairs in the main hall.Gaotang only has four-character calligraphy, and the chic running script says - "Your uncle's".

Cheng Tianci didn't cheat his own apprentice, but was cheated instead. He picked up a cheap apprentice for no reason. He was in a bad mood and sat on a chair blowing his beard.Cheng En led Su He to read the precepts of the master with a smile: "From now on, we are a family, and the precepts of the master need to be kept in mind at all times. The first rule is that others are wrong, and you are right. Yes. The pot should be thrown away, and the good thing is to keep it in your pocket."

Su He: "..."

Cheng En: "Secondly, when the road is uneven, run away. If you don't like it, raise your leg."

Cheng En smiled: "Thirdly, judge the situation and run away if you can't beat it. If you can't run, let someone who can beat it, and beat yourself to death."

Cheng En: "Oh, and the most important thing is, don't have too much contact with the gods in the sky, don't spy on the secrets of heaven, and lose your life. You must be a good Taoist priest who satisfies Master."

Seeing that Su He's face was stiff, Cheng En laughed and said, "Do you think it's unreasonable to make trouble? But you still have to remember, otherwise your master will be unhappy."

Cheng Tianci let out a long snort to show that he was indeed unhappy.

Cheng En thought this way more than once: under the torment of such precepts, he can grow into a good Taoist priest who knows the law and abides by the law. He is really virtuous and protected by his ancestors.

After sloppy tidying up the teacher's gate and doing a simple apprenticeship ceremony, Cheng Tianci had to presumably return to Chenyongguan.Cheng Tianci pointed his nostrils at Cheng En, reluctantly led the cheap little apprentice down the mountain, and even touched Cheng En's fan before leaving.Being able to follow Cheng Tianci smoothly, Su He was already overjoyed, and respectfully kowtowed three times to the stone plaque of the teacher's gate, with a calm face.

The plaque on the teacher's gate says - Ritian School.

After watching the two go away with a smile, Cheng En cleaned up the burning door, closed the doors and windows, and walked down the mountain slowly.I don't know when I can come back.

"My lord (Lingci) personally, the situation that my son (Lingai) encountered in the mirage when he died, what I said is true, so I won't repeat it, there are many articles. The yellow talisman carried in the envelope, the water that I took, there is Mengpo soup Efficacy, those who need it can take it, and there will be no adverse consequences. When such a big change happens, those who are at a loss and wash their faces, let alone a daughter, let alone a man. The horse stumbles and cannot return. Life is long, and I hope to be sad. I know this is really hard to say , and involved a lot, so they used cannibalism as a cover to unify the caliber. But when my general Peng Yue enters the truth, you will help me a little bit, so that the law will not go unpunished. God bless, please take care."

This is the letter sent by Cheng En along with those children.After reading it, it turned to ashes.
