Chapter 60： lake mountain

At night, Zhang Shiping had already returned from the Sutra Pavilion to the cave mansion in Yekun Mountain to meditate.

In the next few days, Zhang Shiping didn't rush to find the uncle Xu who looked potbellied and laughed all day long. He always felt insecure when dealing with high-ranking monks.

Zhang Shiping took advantage of this time to arrange some chores for his Lingshan. As he just took over Lingshan, he had to make some specific arrangements, what should be planted in what place, and what should be raised in what place. Among them, he went to the sect to get some elixir, spirit grass seeds, or some branches of the spirit tree that needed to be cut. Don't waste these things for nothing.

In the end, Zhang Shiping took a look at the monsters living in Yekun Mountain. Although Zongmen has cleaned up all the second-tier monsters living in the mountain, some first-tier monsters still have a chance to break through and become second-tier monsters. .

Zhang Shiping had to be aware of it, and in the future, he would clear it out regularly, and the materials for monster beasts would also bring in a lot of money.

After finalizing the general layout of Yekunshan, he handed over other matters to the four newly arranged stewards.

After Zhang Shiping became a foundation-building monk, he had a few places in his hands to directly recruit disciples of miscellaneous servants, and he could also recommend disciples from outside sects who could practice qi that met the requirements of the sect.

Among the four stewards, three are disciples of the qi training period brought by Zhang Shiping from the family. They are in their fifties, and their cultivation is five or six levels in the qi training period. But the spiritual root qualifications of the direct descendants of these three people are all good.

The other three foundation-building monks of the Zhang family discussed with Zhang Shiping and asked him to take them to Jiaozuozong. Each of them has a first-level spiritual mountain. At least the cultivation conditions are much better than those in the Zhang family. These people can also help themselves The children and grandchildren have accumulated some cultivation resources, and they can also handle some trivial matters for him, so as not to distract him.

As for the talented younger generation in the family, Zhang Shiping decided not to take them with him. He couldn't take away the good seedlings of the family. After all, there is still a difference between family foundation establishment and sect foundation establishment. If the Zhang family didn't decide to integrate the family into the Jiaozuo sect and live and die with the sect, then they couldn't add all the new generation of talents in the family to the sect.

The steward of Lingshan was arranged by Zhang Shiping himself, so whether the status of the three Zhang family qi cultivators as handyman disciples can become stewards is a matter of his words. This kind of matter has long been precedent in the sect. Some people say a half-word gossip about nepotism, that is to offend a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In the fourth cave, its owner is the grandson of the old steward of Biyuan Mountain Baicao Garden. Since Zhang Shiping returned to the sect early, he also summoned that person to come over early.

The man was around twenty-three or fourteen years old, and gave Zhang Shiping a good first impression. During the few days of handling affairs, he handled things in an orderly manner, and he was also a prudent person. It should be specially taught by the old manager. In short, it fits Zhang Shiping mind. Zhang Shiping promoted him to be a steward, and asked him to open up his own cave in the first-level spiritual mountain next to him.

Zhang Shiping and the three qi cultivators of the Zhang family are also ugly. Don't think they are from the same clan and make some small moves, let alone use his name to do something. He doesn't want to offend others for no reason.

Don't say that Zhang Shiping is not good to the tribe, but that if you don't say something clearly, it is tantamount to acquiescing.

In the end, Zhang Shiping thought for a few more days before he decided to ask that Uncle Xu, if it really didn't work, then this "Fire Crow Jue" didn't matter if he didn't practice it, he couldn't wait to find Youhuosha before practicing this technique.

…

The moon is like silver, and the lake reflects the moonlight. There is a lonely spiritual mountain in the Wuxin Lake of Jiaozuo Zong. The mountain has no name because the owner of this third-order spiritual mountain did not give it a name. , the mountain is verdant and green everywhere, at the foot of the mountain, there is a person lying **** on a large bare bluestone exposed in the lake.

He rested his head on one hand and looked at the sky from a distance. The light in the sky was faint, the forest behind him was lonely, and the lake in the distance was lonely. With his other hand, he was pulling a red rope. The other end of the rope was a fiery red wine gourd, without a stopper, floating on the surface of the lake.

The valuable spirit wine was wasted in the lake, if Zhang Shiping were here, he would feel distressed seeing it.

The other foot of the man was wearing a shoe, and it swayed in the lake water, causing ripples to form layers upon layers.

But at the bottom of the lake not far away, there is a long black fish with jagged mouth full of fangs, staring at the lake surface. Something was shaking, instinctively biting it.

The fangs that were sharper than a dagger didn't even bite through the man's skin, and the fish demon with a few broken fangs still didn't let go, splashing water on the lake.

Xu Youdan stretched out his feet, and the black fish, which was about ten feet long and weighed several hundred catties, was thrown into the air, drawing an arc under the silver moonlight, and fell far away, with the sound of splashing water.

"Today is Yu'er's favorite day, let me let you go, little fish." He let go of the black fish, which was only a middle-grade first-grade fish. The spirit wine from the lake is less spicy and more chilly.

"Yu'er, you always say that I'm too skinny and I need to eat more. You see that I'm so fat now, and you don't even come to see me." He said to himself, only the sky, the moon, the lake, the mountain wind were listening. He says.

After a long time, the moon is in the middle of the sky.

"Hundreds of years. After this matter is over, I will come to accompany you. You must wait for me." After drinking, he threw the wine gourd far away and fell into the lake, his voice getting smaller and smaller.

Xu Youdan got up staggeringly, walked in the mountains, found a weedy field at random, lay down on it and fell asleep.

…

As the moon sets and the sun rises, Zhang Shiping sets off from Yekun Mountain with his flying instrument After flying for quite some time, he finds the Wuxin Lake marked on the jade slip map. Jieling Mountain.

Zhang Shiping took out a sound-transmitting talisman and said a few words to it lightly. The talisman turned into a flame and merged into the protective formation of this third-order spiritual mountain. Zhang Shiping couldn't see inside and didn't know what was going on. Drive the flying magic weapon to stand in mid-air and wait.

After a long time, Zhang Shiping saw a hole just enough to pass through the mountain guard formation in front of him, and he flew in immediately.

Zhang Shiping saw a person standing at the foot of the mountain, he immediately flew over, put away the flying magic weapon, and landed beside that person.

The man didn't speak. After Zhang Shiping landed, he turned around and left. Zhang Shiping felt that this person was very strange at first sight. He didn't notice the distance just now. When the distance got closer, Zhang Shiping found the person leading the way. The person has the spiritual pressure of the foundation-building period, but he doesn't even have the slightest breath of a living person, but it's not as gloomy as the refined corpse he got before, just like a piece of stone and wood.

Zhang Shiping tried to call a few times, but when there was no response, he quickened his pace, walked slowly from behind the man to be at the same level, and looked at the man out of the corner of his eye.

The man's face and skin color were the same as those of ordinary people, and his hands, feet and body were not much different, but Zhang Shiping found that his skin color did not have much luster, and the expression of his eyeballs was also dull. No matter how he looked, he did not look like a living person.

Zhang Shiping already had an answer in his mind, that person should be a puppet, which is also a kind of magic weapon.

He was about to use his spiritual sense to scan the other party to see how the puppet was constructed, but he saw the Jindan cultivator Xu Shishu sitting in a gazebo on the mountainside, teasing a red-skinned piglet, so he didn't go any further. redundant action.
