23 If you are angry and don't give me the medicine, I will kill you with one sword!

On the way up the mountain, they really encountered five or six low-level poisonous beasts.

But Fu Changgeng is Xue Wuxi's disciple after all, so he can naturally deal with these poisonous beasts with swordsmanship.

Although this swordsmanship... in Ji Chen's opinion, it is a mess.

But this is also in Ji Chen's eyes.

In fact, for someone of Fu Changgeng's age, it is already very good to be able to reach this level.

Fu Changgeng also has water spiritual roots, but his sword energy cannot emit ice spiritual power. It is just an ordinary sword energy without attributes.

Maybe Xue Wuxi hasn't had time to teach him yet, or he hasn't had time to comprehend it.

Ji Chen wanted to give him a few words.

But he has been using words to criticize Ji Chen as much as he can along the way.

"Can't you walk faster? Why are you so useless?"

"Follow me closely. You are so weak. I won't care if you are attacked by poisonous beasts."

"Oh, I really regret bringing you with me. You are not only a trouble, but also a burden."

...

Seeing that others despise him so much, Ji Chen has no face to give instructions.

He can only pretend to be a real weakling, shrinking his neck and following Fu Changgeng closely.

However, Fu Changgeng despised him.

He really didn't let Ji Chen get hurt.

When they climbed halfway up the mountain, Fu Changgeng found an abandoned cave. Seeing that Ji Chen was tired and about to climb down, he took the initiative to ask him: "Do you want to take a rest?"

Ji Chen was indeed tired.

But he didn't want to go to this cave.

Because, this cave was actually the place where Ji Chen practiced cultivation in his previous life. He and his three disciples lived here for a long time.

Ji Chen stared at the cave in a daze for a long time, and memories flooded into his mind like a tide. Those bits and pieces of the past stimulated his nerves.

In the end, he shook his head and left.

"I'm not tired, no need to rest."

*

After climbing for an unknown amount of time, the two finally reached the top of the mountain.

Ji Chen said he was not tired, but he was panting and holding his waist.

Fu Changgeng formed a sharp contrast with him.

Originally, people who practice Taoism have much better physical strength than ordinary people, so this is normal.

This time, Fu Changgeng just looked at Ji Chen with disgust and was too lazy to talk.

Ji Chen rested for a long while before he finally recovered his strength.

On the huge platform on the top of the mountain, there is a stone tablet as tall as a person.

The stone tablet is engraved with sloppy handwriting, which reads:

"Phoenix, Phoenix, why is your virtue declining."

"The past cannot be changed."

"The future can still be pursued."

Ji Chen looked at the handwriting with some emotion.

Because he personally took the sword and carved it impromptu when he was drunk.

"This handwriting... Why is it so ugly?" Fu Changgeng, who was standing next to him, questioned the stone tablet.

Ji Chen smiled helplessly in his heart: Sorry, I'm just a cook, not a calligrapher.

"But the artistic conception of this poem is not bad." Fu Changgeng finally said something nice: "I like it very much."

Ji Chen could only tell him in his heart: That's right, how can the sentences in "The Analects" not have artistic conception?

Fu Changgeng then guessed: "It should be carved by the owner of this mountain, the predecessor of Medicine Ancestor, right?"

Ji Chen didn't want to complain anymore.

But he could also come to a conclusion: Maybe it was because he had just died that this mountain was occupied by Medicine Ancestor, so everyone thought this was Medicine Ancestor's territory.

The problem is why his three disciples didn't settle accounts with him.

This group of rebellious disciples, except for Gui Tong, who was naturally rebellious, the other two were also inhumane!

It's a pity that Ji Chen was still so worried about the eldest disciple Xue Wuxi.

Just as the two were staring at the stone tablet in a daze, suddenly there was a clear and pleasant sound of bird chirping in the sky.

The two looked up at the same time, and saw a huge flying bird soaring in the sky, hovering in the sky.

Its wings were dozens of meters long, and its feathers were shining with orange-red light like flames. Its tail was three long, and its eyes were as sharp as a falcon.

That was - a bird.

The Phoenix Cliff, of course, really has a phoenix living here.

The phoenix is ​​the descendant of the mythical beast phoenix, and is also the source of spiritual power that continuously provides this mountain.

It is also because of this bird that they even used to call the Phoenix Cliff the fairy mountain outside the boundary.

Now, it has become such a desolate mountain, which makes Ji Chen sigh.

"It's a phoenix, the mount of the Medicine Ancestor." Fu Changgeng looked up and recognized it at a glance.

Ji Chen couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: this phoenix was unwilling to be my mount at first, why did it give it to an outsider who occupied the mountain as a mount?

Just as he thought of this, a man's figure appeared on the bird's body.

Even at such a long distance, Ji Chen recognized at a glance that the man was the Medicine Ancestor - Jiang Shengyu.

He was wearing a white inner shirt and a black double-breasted robe, black and white, the same color as his hair, both half black and half white.

He wore a dark silver jade crown, and his hair was neatly tied inside the crown, not a single strand of hair fell down his shoulders or back. He

also carried a large gourd on his back. He

was handsome and handsome, and his appearance was like jade.

He stood on the phoenix's back with his hands behind his back, and his sleeves were blown up and down by the long mountain wind, making a rustling sound.

Upon seeing this, Fu Changgeng immediately knelt on one knee, saluted, and shouted loudly to the sky: "Junior Fu Changgeng, the chief disciple of Wuji Sect's head Xue Wuxi, pays homage to Senior Medicine Ancestor!"

Jiang Shengyu glanced down at Fu Changgeng below, but his eyes fell on Ji Chen: "What about you?"

Ji Chen had no choice but to introduce him: "I'm from the same sect as him, and I'm not your master's inner disciple."

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he was scolded by Fu Changgeng: "How dare you be so disrespectful to Senior Medicine Ancestor!"

Ji Chen pretended to be confused and asked: "How is it disrespectful? Do I have to kneel down?" "

Hurry up and kneel down. If you get angry and don't give me the medicine, I will kill you with a sword!"

It can be seen that Fu Changgeng is really anxious.

It also means that he really cares about Xue Wuxi and is afraid that he can't get the medicine for Xue Wuxi.

Ji Chen still has that attitude and said calmly: "It's enough to keep the respect for the senior in your heart. This is not a private palace, and the Medicine Ancestor is not the emperor. You don't have to kneel down."

"Isn't it?" The last two words, Ji Chen asked Jiang Shengyu in the air.

"You--"

Fu Changgeng had just said a word, and the man in the air suddenly jumped into the air, gracefully descended from above, and landed steadily in front of the two of them.

"No need to be polite." Jiang Shengyu looked at Fu Changgeng, his face serious, and his words were concise: "Just say it if you have something to say."

While speaking, he even put down one hand and helped Fu Changgeng up from the ground.

Fu Changgeng was very surprised.

But Jiang Shengyu didn't wait for him to say it, as if he suddenly recalled something, "Xue Wuxi's disciple?"

"Yes... yes, senior..."

Fu Changgeng always felt that Jiang Shengyu's tone suddenly became wrong.

"Xue Wuxi, is that person's eldest disciple?"

Fu Changgeng knew who the "that person" he was talking about was, and he agreed with him very honestly, "Yes, it is the disciple of Jianzu."

Ji Chen heard it: It's over!

I hit the gun!

As expected, when Jiang Shengyu heard this, he immediately restrained all his kindness and became a completely different person from before.

"Since you are that man's disciple, get off the mountain immediately."

Fu Changgeng was stunned: ???

Ji Chen was secretly beating his drum in his heart.

This person is too vindictive, isn't it? He just beat me a hundred times but couldn't beat me, so what?

Not only is he a wimp, he is also petty!
