Chapter 308: Green Mountains Always Remain, Firewood Always Exists
After Zhao Wuyang returned to the sect, he had planned to tell Master Qianyuan about the box, but who would have thought that he was sent back to the City Lord's Mansion by Lingxiang without even seeing his master.
Lingxiang said that since he was back and so close, he should go home to report his safety and avoid worrying his family. Zhao Wuyang thought Lingxiang was right, so he went down the mountain.
But the box was on him, and Zhao Wuyang always felt something was wrong. What if he accidentally released the monster inside? What would happen then?
Zhao Wuyang carefully placed the box on the table and looked at it carefully for a long time. Suddenly, he found that the box seemed a little different from the original one.
I remember that when I saw this box before, the pattern on it was dark brown, but this time it turned silver, as if it had been newly painted.
hiss!
Zhao Wuyang took a breath of cold air.
Could it be that the monster inside is about to escape?
That’s not right!
I remember that I had put the box in the pocket on my chest, but after I got home I took it out from the pocket on my sleeve.
Could it be that someone has opened it?
Zhao Wuyang couldn't help but take another breath, but he calmed down after a while.
Although he was not very proficient in talisman arrays, he had read some books and was certain that the pattern on the box was a talisman array.
Since the talisman has become new, it means that someone has reinforced the talisman array, or has set up a new array. But who could have opened it? But in a moment, Zhao Wuyang figured it out. It must have been Lingxiang who did it.
When I was living in Ding'an before, the incense started to behave strangely and made me sleep for a long time. I think it was at that time. Since it has been opened, I think there shouldn't be anything dangerous inside, so why seal it again?
Zhao Wuyang couldn't help but become curious. What on earth was in this box? He picked up the box and weighed it. He felt a bit heavy. He shook it gently, but didn't hear any sound.
Could it be an empty box? Why did Jin leave an empty box for him?
Just when Zhao Wuyang was puzzled, there was a sudden noise outside the house. He quickly put the box away and went out to take a look, only to see several servants whispering to each other while looking at the back of the house.
These are elderly people who are used to being in the family. Although the family does not treat them harshly on weekdays, they will never be so unruly.
Out of curiosity, Zhao Wuyang took a few steps back and looked in the direction the servant pointed. He saw dark clouds rolling and gathering like a tide, swirling down to the north, as if there was a gap in the sky, and that direction was exactly...
“It’s a sect!”
Zhao Wuyang was extremely frightened, and felt a surge of uneasiness in his heart. At this moment, he heard the servant beside him say:
"Alas! Those alchemists from Jiuque Mountain are causing trouble again..."
"What do you mean by 'again'?"
"Well, you were still a kid back then, and the same thing happened about ten years ago. The situation then was almost the same as it is now."
"And then?"
"Later, those alchemists closed their mountain gates and stopped accepting disciples."
…
Hearing this, Zhao Wuyang couldn't help but think of some things circulating in the sect, those things that the head teacher had strictly ordered not to be discussed.
Could it be that the sect is facing another disaster?
Zhao Wuyang was shocked and tried to run out, but was stopped at the door.
"I'm fine! What are you doing?" It was City Lord Zhao.
"Father, the sect is in trouble, I..."
"You can't go anywhere." Before Zhao Wuyang could finish his words, City Lord Zhao stopped him.
Zhao Wuyang didn't know why City Lord Zhao was like this. His father was a kind and righteous man, so how could he let him watch the sect suffer? Could it be...
Just when Zhao Wuyang was doubting it, he saw the city lord's wife walking out from the side.
"It's you!"
However, the city lord's wife shook her head and took out a black jade plate from her bosom. The words "Fu Cang" were clearly visible on the plate.
It’s Lingxiang, but why doesn’t Lingxiang let her return to the sect?
Zhao Wuyang was completely puzzled, only to hear the City Lord's wife softly say, "Earlier, the fairy sent instructions that you must remain in the city to ensure your safety. Only after your box is opened can you be allowed to go up the mountain."
Sure enough, Lingxiang had opened this box, but what does this mean?
"There are monsters outside the city now. Even if you go there, you may not be able to reach Jiuque Mountain." City Lord Zhao said.
Monster! It's actually a monster!
"In that case, the people in the city..."
"Notices were posted in the city long ago prohibiting people from leaving the city at will, and the people outside the city were also accommodated inside the city."
"But that's a monster! How can a mere city wall stop it?" Zhao Wuyang was shocked and made a move to go out.
Although I don't understand formations, I have faced monsters before. Even if I am outnumbered, it is better than having no resistance at all.
At this moment, an old man's laughter was heard from the city lord's mansion, and along with the laughter was the sound of wooden sticks hitting the bluestone slabs.
"I haven't been out of the forest for a long time. There are so many young people in this world. This trip is really worthwhile!"
An old man holding a cane slowly walked out from behind the city lord. The cane looked very strange, clearly a bamboo, but with a fork at the top like a branch, and a black gold wine gourd hanging on it.
The old man looked quite old, with white eyebrows and beard, but his eyes were bright. He was wearing a emerald green Taoist robe, which looked very strange. And the person following behind him was actually...
"Brother Honeysuckle!"
The person coming here is dressed so eye-catchingly, isn't he the old man with a bamboo stick?
Zhao Wuyang didn't know the old man with the bamboo cane, but he did know Jindong. But what he didn't understand was this: as Lingxiang's disciple, hadn't Jindong seen the ominous cloud swirling above the top of Jiuque Mountain? Furthermore, since the city was now filled with monsters, shouldn't the two of them, as Daoists, step forward?
The old man with the bamboo cane seemed to see what Zhao Wuyang was thinking. He just smiled and waved his hand: "Rosewood, what is the sentence that your master often tells you?"
Upon hearing this, Honeysuckle bowed and replied in a serious tone, "A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall."
Although Honeysuckle was speaking to the old man with the bamboo cane, Zhao Wuyang knew that this was meant for him, but...
"Even if it's a dangerous wall, so what? Are we really going to stand by and watch it perish without helping?"
When City Lord Zhao heard this, he was about to scold him, but he saw the old man with the bamboo stick waved his hand.
"I'm not asking you to stand by and watch someone die, I'm just saying you should do what you can. Do you think your presence can resolve the disaster we're facing? Young man, as long as there are green mountains and firewood, there will always be firewood."
That being said, could it be possible that they would just ignore their fellow disciples?
Zhao Wuyang wanted to say something, but Rendong held him down.
"Lingxiang has her own plans, otherwise she wouldn't have tricked you back home, right?"
The word "cheat" was really well used. Zhao Wuyang then realized that he was really "tricked" back by Lingxiang.
