Shenjin from Tibetan Scriptures Repeated to Nine

It turned out that on the painting, in the back of the few rooms closest to the outer most area of the mountain, there were nine courtyards connected by a winding corridor. The number of nine courtyards gradually increased from the west to the east. At first it was only four or five rooms, but at the end it was seventeen or eighteen.

Right in the middle of the hall with First Court, that metal box astonishingly appeared.

The metal box was placed in the living room.

Within the ancient painting, the Daoist standing in the corner was currently staring straight ahead, staring at a manor.

Zhang Danian asked curiously: "That, the one in the room seems to be my metal box …"

Wu Soong let out a cry, and said slowly: "So it was a disciple from a strange sect that came out to intercept the beard." Zhang Danian did not understand what that strange disciple meant. Lifting his eyes to look at Wu Soong, he saw that Wu Soong was frowning, as though the situation was not looking good.

Wu Soong muttered to himself for a while, then said to Zhang Danian: "Little brother, I will now bring this Tiger Box back to you, but it will take some effort, and there will be some danger, I need you to come with me, I just wonder if you are willing?"

Zhang Danian was a youngster, so he naturally did not have any fear when it came to dangerous matters. However, he wanted to have some fun, so Zhang Danian immediately said, "Alright, I will accompany Big Brother Wu there. Wherever you go, I will go there."

Wu Soong nodded, and then told Zhang Danian: "If that's the case, then follow me later, and don't say a word. The person who stole your Tiger Box is crafty and ruthless, I am afraid that the moment you speak, you will fall into his trap. "

Zhang Danian nodded: "I understand."

Wu Soong extended his left hand out, facing the ancient painting, he shouted: "Go." Immediately after, a black light flashed from the sleeves of his left hand, and went straight into the ancient painting, passing through the villas in the ancient painting. In a blink of an eye, he went into the houses of First Court, and with a flash, he went back inside the iron box.

Zhang Danian and Lai Fu calmed down after seeing the sword sheath moving.

Wu Soong said: "Little brother, take me to the place that you painted yesterday, we will send that person there."

Zhang Danian nodded, and said: "Okay." He then led the way, bringing Wu Soong to the place where the painting was sold.

Laifu was about to follow along when Wu Soong reached out and stopped him, instructing him, "Stay here, look at this painting on the table. As long as the painting is slightly dry and the figure on the painting is about to disappear, you will splash some water on it. If the painting didn't work, the person in the painting would always show up. Do you remember? "

Laifu nodded and stood in front of the painting, staring at it.

Wu Soong followed Zhang Danian out of the Zhang Residence. He followed Lin'an Palace's East Main Street all the way west, about a kilometer or so, until he arrived in front of a medicine store. The medicine store was at the boundary of East Main Street and West Main Street, and in the middle of the street was a monolith the height of a person.

This stone tablet was rather strange. It was actually square and had the same four sides. There were three big words carved into it — Fallen Horse Tablet.

At the top of the monument were four horse heads, facing north, south, east and west respectively.

Zhang Danian walked to the front of the monument, looked around at the people coming and going, and then said to Wu Soong: "Big Brother Wu, this is where I met You Fang Taoist. That You Fang Taoist placed five or six paintings in front of this stone monument. I was curious at the time, so I walked over and bought the painting here. "

Wu Soong frowned, he walked around the Fallen Horse Tablet twice, and then stopped and asked: Why is this tablet called the Fallen Horse Tablet? After pausing for a while, Wu Soong continued, "I have come to the Lin'an for so many years, but this is actually my first time here."

Zhang Danian laughed: "Big Brother Wu, although this street is called East Street, it is still a small street, so of course you have never come here. Have you not seen the Fallen Horse Tablet before, but when travelling south to north to cross streets, the passengers on horseback lost their horses and fell down without any reason, and after some time, the people near the crossroads invited the merchants nearby to gather some money, and at the center of this cross street, there was a stone tablet built. With this stone tablet, the merchants who travel south to north through this street would all notice it from afar. It's meant as a warning. "

Wu Soong nodded.

He looked around. There were slightly more pedestrians on the East Street. Because there were many shops selling goods on the East Street, there were many more pedestrians than on the West Street, which meant that there were almost no shops on the other side of the street.

At the side of the medicine store, a young student in his twenties walked out and stood in front of the counter, looking at the crowd on the street with a bored expression.

Seeing Wu Soong looking at him, the young junior seemed to be afraid of Wu Soong's gaze, and actually did not dare to look straight into his eyes, and immediately moved on. Seeing Zhang Danian, the young junior's face revealed a look of joy.

Zhang Danian turned his head and saw the young disciple, he smiled slightly and waved towards the young disciple.

The young junior came out from behind the counter and ran towards Zhang Danian. His expression was somewhat joyous but also a little nervous as he asked: "Young Master Zhang, how come you have the time to come here today?"

Zhang Danian laughed: "Xu Xian, am I free that day? I passed by here yesterday. Didn't you see me? "

The man called Immortal Xu's face reddened and he chuckled, "Yes, yes, yes, yes. Please don't take offense to this young master Zhang. Please have some tea with me later."

Zhang Danian laughed: "Sure, sure."

He knew that this shop assistant named Xu Xian only treated him with courtesy and respect because of his father. Otherwise, how could Xu Xian come up and greet him when he was younger than him by a few years? This was naturally the magic of money.

However, most of the people in this world were like this. How many people looked down on this Kong Fang?

Zhang Danian asked: "Xu Xian, let me ask you, have you seen that wandering Taoist who was selling paintings under this monument yesterday?"

Xu Xian shook her head, and said to Zhang Danian: "That Taoist, after selling your paintings, when you leave, that Taoist will also leave. I can see that the Daoist's footsteps are quite swift, as if he has put some effort into it. Young Master Zhang, you better be careful. "

Zhang Danian nodded: "I can." He waved his hand. "Go."

Xu Xian sang a tune and turned away.

Zhang Danian muttered in his heart: "That You Fang Taoist has more than just martial arts? According to what Big Brother Wu said, that Taoist pretended to sell me a painting in order to steal my metal box. Is that metal box really as miraculous as Big Brother Wu said? "

Within the Zhang residence, in Zhang Danian's bedroom, Laifu was currently staring at the painting without blinking. On the painting, that Taoist actually started to slowly move …

Laifu looked on in a daze, unable to believe his eyes …

suddenly stopped in his tracks, his entire body staring towards the north. His gaze fell upon a fisherman wearing a conical bamboo hat.

The fisherman had a bamboo hat that covered his entire face. He had long hands and feet, and was wearing a green robe with a pair of bare shoes. As the sun rose, other people walked by with shadows on them.
