After Zhang Hui got excited, he felt that he was thinking too much. It was so easy to enter Lushan. He didn't know what arrangements Xu Gui would make to bring him back, whether he would just let him do handyman or something. But even if it is a handyman, he is finally in Lushan, and he can at least see pigs walking without pork.
He was walking behind Xu Gui and found that it was almost the place where he tied the horse yesterday. When he walked a little further, he saw that the rope he tied the horse was still hanging on the tree, but the horse was no longer there.
"It's strange, I saw the road narrowed yesterday, and I tied the horse here to explore the road. When I came back, I found that the road was gone." Zhang Hui said in confusion.
Xu Gui smiled and said: "This is your uncle who is teasing you. His old man has been studying the formations in this mountain for decades. When someone breaks in, he will make fun of him. The disciples on the mountain are afraid of him. This This time it must have been Fang Zhu’s guilt-promoting ghost who deliberately brought you here. Yesterday, when he came back, I heard something was wrong. I was afraid that you, an outsider, would be embarrassed by my uncle, so I came down to ask someone.
"His old man didn't embarrass me much, just wanted me to work for him."
As the two talked, they unknowingly walked onto the road where Zhang Hui and Fang Zhu had separated yesterday. At this time, the sun had completely fallen under the mountain, and the forest seemed more secluded.
Zhang Hui followed Xu Gui up the road. The mountain road was winding, and the two seemed to have changed from one mountain to another. A glance.
After going down a slope, Zhang Hui saw a mountain gate erected in front of him. The mountain gate is made of white stone slabs. You can tell at a glance that the mountain gate is a few years old, and the top stone slab is carved. With the words "Lushan", the handwriting is vigorous and unforgettable.
Entering through the mountain gate, the vegetation on both sides began to show signs of manual care, and the stone road in the middle became smoother. After walking a hundred steps forward, I began to see a few old houses hidden by ancient trees.
These houses are put together high and low to form a compact and beautiful layout, which is simple and elegant.Standing on the old building were a few young disciples wearing plain white shirts. From a distance, they looked elegant and extraordinary, like noble children.
Xu Gui pointed to these houses, but stopped approaching, and said to Zhang Hui: "This is the Zhigongyuan. The Zhigongyuan manages all Lushan's chores, external liaison affairs, the library, the dining hall, and the dressing etiquette of the disciples. Wait, everything is under their control. You'll know naturally after staying here for a few days."
Zhang Hui saw Xu Gui's tone of introducing Lushan to him, as if he felt that Xu Gui really planned to keep him in Lushan for a long time, but he could not figure out what Xu Gui meant for a while.
Zhang Hui thought to himself, if Xu Gui only intended to make him a handyman disciple, he should be sent to Zhigongyuan, and now Xu Gui just took him outside and left after seeing him all the way. It seems that Xu Gui treats him There are also other arrangements.
Xu Gui took Zhang Hui and continued to move forward. By then, it was almost dark and there were very few people walking outside.After walking through Zhigongyuan, there was a deserted section of the road and no houses were visible. After a while, I saw many houses clustered together.
"The front is Lumingtang." Xu Gui said.
Zhang Hui looked at the group of houses and thought that there should be a lot of people here. Xu Gui next to him was the boss of the whole Luming Hall, but Xu Gui treated people so kindly, which made him come to this strange place for the first time. I felt relieved a lot.
Xu Gui led Zhang Hui into the Luming Hall. After passing the gate, there was a compound in the middle. The surrounding houses surrounded the compound, and the hall facing the gate was simple and solemn at a glance.There are two small roads next to the hall, and there are countless houses in the past.
Xu Gui led Zhang Hui towards a small road. Not long after he walked, he saw Fang Zhu's back disappear quickly at a corner.
"You still have the face to run, come out!" Xu Gui shouted sharply in the direction where Fang Zhu disappeared.
Fang Zhu returned to the corner and looked helplessly at Xu Gui's side. He lowered his head and quickly walked over. When he quickly walked to Xu Gui, he raised his eyes and looked at Xu Gui secretly.
Zhang Hui looked at Fang Zhu like this, and seemed to be very afraid of Xu Gui. He guessed that Xu Gui should be gentle on the surface, but he was actually not easy to deal with.
"Master..." Fang Zhu whispered.
Xu Gui glanced at Fang Zhu in disgust, frowning, and said, "It's too shameful, but fortunately nothing happened. If anything happens, it won't be enough to peel your skin."
"It's no wonder that I am Zhang Hui running around on his own, and I can only bring him back first because of his injuries." Fang Zhu replied unconvincingly.
"Okay, you can arrange your junior brother's residence." Xu Gui said casually to Fang Zhu.
Fang Zhu looked at Xu Gui in surprise, and then looked at Zhang Huishi with an unconvincing expression on his face: "He? My junior? Master, you..."
"The door to Lushan is all your junior. Does it need to make such a fuss?" Xu Gui said.
Fang Zhu thought that Xu Gui intended to accept Zhang Hui as a disciple, and he was very unconvinced, but hearing Xu Gui’s remarks did not seem to mean that. He just left Zhang Hui in Lushan and immediately felt relieved, and agreed, "Yes. Master, the disciple understands."
Zhang Hui was also a little confused on the side, not knowing how Xu Gui planned to place him.
After Xu Gui left, Fang Zhu stopped in front of Zhang Hui, looked at him contemptuously, sneered, and said: "The newcomer is in Lushan. The most taboo thing is to file a complaint. If you file a complaint today, there will always be times when you regret it. ."
Zhang Hui guessed that Fang Zhu must have thought that he had filed a lawsuit in front of Xu Gui, and he was too lazy to explain, so he just glanced at Fang Zhu indifferently.
"Come with me." Fang Zhu took Zhang Hui and walked inward along a path.
The two walked to a long-shaped courtyard. The long row of houses in the courtyard was estimated to be a dozen rooms. Zhang Hui guessed that this should be the residence of the disciple of Lu Mingtang.
In the yard, three or four young people who were slightly older than Zhang Hui held the tub in their arms, as if they had just returned from the bathhouse.They were dressed in neat light gray uniforms. After the shower, their faces were white and energetic. While laughing, they saw Fang Zhu walking by with Zhang Hui, smiling and saying hello to Fang Zhu: "Brother Fang, it’s so late. Bring people to work?"
It turned out that they saw Zhang Hui dressed in shabby clothes and recognized him as the little servant hired by the Zhigongyuan to do chores.In order to save expenses, the Zhigongyuan does not usually have many staff who specialize in chores. Instead, it temporarily adds staff from outside when it is busy.
Fang Zhu didn't explain, and looked at them coldly, leading Zhang Hui to move on.
Zhang Hui saw several houses next to them with their doors closed. Nothing was left at the door, as if they were uninhabited, but Fang Zhu didn’t stop until he reached the end of the row of houses. The key comes to plan to open the door.
The two rooms are separated from the long row of houses. There are broken wooden boards, rotten quilts, broken boxes and other debris outside. You can see that this is usually not a place to live.
Fang Zhu opened the door of a smaller room. After the door was opened, he did not go in by himself, but stood on the side frowning and covering his nose.
Zhang Hui was also stunned at the door. The room seemed to have been piled up with some perishable things, but had not been cleaned up, so it gave out a strange smell.
"What else to look at, that's it." Fang Zhu took a step back and said to Zhang Hui.
Zhang Hui turned his head and saw Yuan Zhixing walking towards this side.
Yuan Zhixing changed into Lushan's hospital uniform, which was even more elegant. His face was slightly pale, and it seemed that the injuries he suffered a few days ago had not fully recovered.
Fang Zhu moved his hand to Yuan Zhixing and called "Brother".Zhang Hui also greeted him and called "Brother Yuan".
Yuan Zhixing was not surprised by Zhang Hui's title, he seemed to have understood that this was Xu Gui's arrangement.
Yuan Zhixing looked at the room and said to Fang Zhu: "Isn't there so many rooms still vacant? Why do you let Junior Brother Zhang live here?"
"A group of new disciples will move in in a few days. These houses must be vacated first." Fang Zhu said and planned to leave. "Master has other things to do for me. I won't accompany Junior Brother Zhang."
Fang Zhu spoke politely, but walked away without even looking at Zhang Hui.
Zhang Hui put his hand on the door frame, stepped his feet over the threshold, turned his head and smiled at Yuan Zhixing: "Brother Yuan, it doesn’t matter, this house is pretty good, and everyone is living in the same room. Living alone in one room is already very satisfied."
Yuan Zhixing followed Zhang Hui into the house, looked around, and helped Zhang Hui clean up.
Zhang Hui will see that he is injured, where he is willing to let him clean up, and take the lead in moving out all the things that need to be moved with great effort.
Yuan Zhixing explained to one side: "Your senior brother is not malicious. You'll know after getting along with him for a long time. He is just Qi Ye Xiang, but he can't find Ye Xiang, so he can only exhale at you."
Zhang Hui recalled Fang Zhu's arrogant appearance on the road, and also thought of Fang Zhu's arrogant expression when he was talking to people in Lumingtang, guessing that this person should come from an unusual background.
And when Yuan Zhixing talked about Fang Zhu, he always spoke very carefully, for fear that he might cause trouble if he said something wrong.
During the conversation between the two, Zhang Hui learned that in addition to Lumingtang, Lushan’s outer sect practice also has Luyoutang, and the place where Lushan’s inner sect practiced is called Lugu, and the disciples who practiced in Lugu are the direct disciples of the valley master.
Zhang Hui heard Yuan Zhixing mention the Valley Master, feeling that the Valley Master was profound and mysterious, and asked: "When will the Valley Master come to us? I want to see if he looks the same as us."
Yuan Zhixing was amused by Zhang Hui's remarks, and said, "The owner of the valley rarely goes out of Lugu, even if he leaves Lugu, he will go out and wander around. He doesn't care about Lumingtang. What will he do?"
"He doesn't care about it, so why does it sound that the Valley Lord has the supreme position in Lushan?" Zhang Hui asked again.
"Qi State values Lushan and respects the Valley Lord. Even the monarch must respect the Valley Lord for three points. How can the Valley Lord take care of Luming Hall's mundane things? You can't see the Valley Lord anyway. What if you can Find me, or find master."
Zhang Hui heard this and didn't ask any more.He knew that Yuan Zhi acted cautiously and asked too much about some things that made the other party embarrassed. He has stayed in Lushan for a long time, and he will know what he can know in the future.
