Chapter 709 Liu Laoshi
Wang Daoyi understood Zhang Jun's thoughts. He wanted to learn the talisman before Hua Buyi left the country. After thinking for a while, he said: "My servant is still in contact with Shang Fulong. Based on my understanding of him, he will never return to Shennongmen, let alone hand over the talismans casually."
Zhang Jun sneered: "It's not up to him!"
Wang Daoyi pondered and said: "This Shang Fulong is at the ninth level of true power. His strength is not as good as that of the young sect leader, but his talisman skills are very powerful. When fighting with others, he often uses them to surprise and win, so you must guard against them."
Zhang Jun nodded: "Don't worry about that. I will interrogate that Abe Phaeton in a moment. He is a disciple of the Shinto Sword Pavilion. I should be able to meet Shang Fulong through him."
Having said this, Wang Daoyi couldn't help but ask: "I see that the temperament of the young sect master has changed drastically. Has he made another breakthrough?"
Zhang Jun smiled slightly and said, "I have broken my heart barrier three times, but I still don't have a clue about the next path."
When Wang Dao heard this, he was very excited and said excitedly: "Great! As long as one of the sect master and the young sect master has even half a step of magical power, no one in the world will dare to underestimate our Shennong sect! The young sect master will go through the world in the future. It’s closed, this level is the most critical, I believe the young master will succeed!”
Zhang Jun sighed: "I don't have any confidence in my heart. This road is long and lonely. Only the practitioner himself can taste it."
"Anyway, my servant has confidence in the young master." Wang Dao said with a smile, not knowing where his confidence came from.
After agreeing with Wang Daoyi on the trip to Japan, he found Abe Phaeton. Abe Phaeton had been seriously injured and was quickly hypnotized. After questioning, he learned that these seven people came to the northwest to find a lost treasure in Japan, the Kusanagi Sword.
This sword is known as one of Japan's three great artifacts, also known as the Amancong Cloud Sword. Susano'o in the Japanese mythology era used this sword to kill the Yamato no Orochi, and it has been passed down from generation to generation as a token of the Japanese royal family.
The above are just folk rumors. The real situation is that the real Tiancongyun sword is held in the Shinto shrine. It is a sacred-level sword. Putting aside those complicated and illogical myths and legends, the Amancongyun Sword is a very powerful magical weapon. So far, no one in Japan has been able to exert its true power.
The Tian Cong Yun Sword is a Japanese artifact, so it is naturally closely guarded. But what's shocking is that someone actually stole it. The Japanese Shinto Church was furious and sent a large number of masters to track him down. Abe Phaeton was just one of the hunting members.
To this day, using the method of deduction, Shinto can only roughly know that the person who stole the sword ran to the northwest and hid. When Zhang Jun asked who stole the Tiancongyun sword, Abe Huiteng couldn't answer.
While Zhang Jun was asking about Abe Phaeton, Zhang Zongyuan was riding a big flower on the grassland with a streamer on his shoulders. Liuguang flew like lightning. Under Zong Yuan's command, it had already killed two hares, two mallards, and the first wild boar it caught. It was unknown how far it flew before catching it.
Seeing that the food was almost ready, Zhang Zongyuan asked Dahua to come to the river. He quickly set up the iron frame, lit the flame, and started barbecue. Although he is young, he has learned how to cook barbecue from the chef at the base. When he has nothing to do, he goes out hunting with Dahua and Liuguang, and then barbecues.
The prey was skinned and washed, and then he cut off pieces of meat, smeared them with condiments and grilled them. He is very patient, and from time to time he teaches Dahua and Liuguang who can't wait.
"The meat must be roasted patiently, not too fast or too slowly. Don't rush, it's useless to rush." He scolded while adding firewood.
Suddenly, Dahua turned his head, stared sideways with a pair of tiger eyes, and roared like thunder in his chest. Zhang Zongyuan turned his head curiously and saw a beggar in his forties, wearing a dirty and torn black cotton-padded coat, approaching with a smile, staring at the barbecue and drooling.
Although Zhang Zongyuan is young, he is bold and generous, with the demeanor of an ancient hero. He said carelessly: "Hey, if you want to eat meat, come here quickly. If you are late, the big flowers will take it all away."
The middle-aged beggar was overjoyed and ran over. Then, like Dahua, he squatted on the ground and watched Zhang Zongyuan's barbecue anxiously. He kept urging: "Hurry up, why are you so slow? It's already dark."
Zhang Zongyuan looked old-fashioned and said: "You don't understand. Barbecue is a science. You can't rush it, and you can't rush it."
The middle-aged beggar curled his lips, his expression was like that of a playful child. If you observe carefully, you can find that the middle-aged man's skin is very white. If he is washed clean and put on new clothes, he will definitely be a handsome guy who can kill a lady instantly.
Finally, the first piece of wild boar meat was ready, and the oil on it sizzled. When it fell on the fire, flames shot up. The aroma was so fragrant that even Zhang Zongyuan kept drooling. The middle-aged man snatched it up and was not afraid of the heat. He held it in his hand and gnawed it.
This made Dahua very angry. It was the first diner waiting, and now it was beaten by this hateful human. So it roared and tried to pounce on the beggar. The middle-aged beggar suddenly turned his head, glared at it angrily, and asked: "Kitten, do you want to bite me?"
Dahua was stared at by him, and she panicked for no reason, and the tiger hairs all over her body exploded. The animal's instinct told it that it must not be an enemy of the human in front of it, so it slowly lay down and backed away, not even wanting to grill the meat.
Liu Guang also stood at a distance, keeping a distance from the middle-aged beggar, tilting his head and squinting at him, as if he was very curious.
Zhang Zongyuan was surprised why Dahua became so honest. He threw a piece of meat over and said, "Dahua, eat quickly. You have to go home after eating, otherwise I will be beaten by my mother again."
Dahua glanced at the middle-aged beggar, then lowered his head and ate one bite at a time, completely different from the usual big gulps.
The middle-aged beggar quickly ate up all the meat in his hand, then grinned and asked, "Can I still eat more?"
Zhang Zongyuan glanced at him and praised: "You are quite good at eating. The piece of meat just now weighed five kilograms. You ate it all so quickly?"
The middle-aged beggar scratched his hair in embarrassment. All the oil from his hands was applied to his hair, making it shiny.
Zhang Zongyuan shook his head: "You are good at eating! But eating meat alone will hurt your stomach. Let's add some vegetables." When he came, he brought a pack of washed vegetables, which was perfect for eating with barbecued meat.
The middle-aged beggar was not polite. He took the roasted vegetables and stuffed them into his mouth. He was like a starving ghost reincarnated. He ate several kilograms more in a while. The two of them were a tiger and an eagle, and it didn't take long to finish all the barbecue.
After eating, Zhang Zongyuan touched his belly and said with a sad face: "Oh, I ate too much again. I have to eat my mother's cooking again when I go back, otherwise the secret will be exposed."
The middle-aged beggar still didn't have enough. He asked puzzledly: "It's so good to eat, why are you afraid of eating?"
Zhang Zongyuan sighed and said: "How do you know my pain? My father has researched hundreds of dishes, saying that eating them can strengthen your foundation and improve your health. Although my mother's craftsmanship is good, the taste of those dishes is very bland. I really don’t want to take another bite.”
The middle-aged beggar said thoughtfully: "Your father is very powerful. No wonder you have a body of steel and iron at a young age. This is all due to the effects of dietary supplements."
Zhang Zongyuan curled his lips and said, "You'll know after you eat it once." Then he began to look at the middle-aged beggar, "What's your name?"
"My name is Liu Laoshi." The middle-aged man answered honestly.
Zhang Zongyuan was stunned, and then laughed "Haha": "Liu Laoshi? What a terrible name."
Liu Laoshi said with an embarrassed expression: "My father is a farmer and has no education, so he chose this name casually. Alas, actually I don't like it either."
Zhang Zongyuan suddenly felt that he was in the same boat. He didn't like the name Zhang Zongyuan either, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter, the name is just a title. My name is Zhang Zongyuan, you can just call me Zongyuan."
Liu Laoshi grinned, showing his clean white teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, you call me Laoshi."
"Honestly, why do you want to be a beggar?" Zhang Zongyuan asked.
Liu Laoshi sighed and said, "I'm actually not a beggar."
Zhang Zongyuan suddenly realized, he patted his head and said: "That's right, I saw you were dressed in rags and I thought you were a beggar. I'm sorry to be honest. But why are you dressed in such rags and don't have money to buy clothes?"
Liu Laoshi shook his head: "New clothes will become old after wearing them, and old clothes will become worn out. Since they will become old and worn out sooner or later, why should I wear new clothes?"
Zhang Zongyuan was stunned when he heard this. What kind of logic is this? However, he was young and broad-minded. After hearing this, he did not find it unacceptable. He just smiled and said: "It makes sense, but if I do this, I'm afraid I will get slapped by my mother."
The old and young started chatting by the river, and the conversation became more and more interesting. They had many things in common. For example, they both like barbecue, they both like to fight, they both are good at making trouble, and they both have bold and free temperaments.
At the end of the conversation, Zhang Zongyuan suddenly suggested: "Honestly, you and I hit it off right away, why don't we become brothers with different surnames right here today?"
Liu Laoshi looked at him in surprise, then a happy smile gradually appeared on his face, he clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, okay, we are sworn brothers with different surnames!"
So the two people smiled and worshiped the sky on the grassland and by the river, taking the grass as the fragrance, and became sworn brothers. Liu Laoshi is the elder brother, and Zhang Zongyuan is the younger brother. After the sworn vows, Zhang Zongyuan said with a "hehe" smile: "When my father and my second uncle made sworn vows back then, I'm afraid he wasn't as clean and tidy as us. He would envy me later."
Liu Laoshi blinked and asked, "Brother, don't you think it's beneath your status to be sworn in with a beggar like me?"
Zhang Zongyuan looked at him as if he were an idiot: "Sworn sworn vows are about the heart, what does it have to do with status? If you were the president of the United States, I might not be able to take notice of you."
Liu Laoshi slapped his legs and laughed, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, my little brother is my confidant!" Then he suddenly remembered something, patted his head and said, "Brother, come with me to get something, please don't I was found by that dead dog and let that shameless old man take advantage of me."
Zhang Zongyuan asked strangely: "What?"
"We'll find out when we get there." After saying that, he couldn't help but pull Zhang Zongyuan up and ran towards a hill in the distance. Dahua and Liuguang followed closely, and the group soon reached the mountain.
From a distance, Zhang Zongyuan saw a big black dog rushing down the mountain, with a sword box in its mouth. He didn't know why, but when he saw this dog running, he suddenly felt that it was very mean and kind.
As if he had stepped on a chicken's neck, Liu Laoshi jumped three feet high and said angrily: "Damn dog! You are here as expected, look at the beating!" After saying that, he touched a stone somewhere in his hand and fiercely pointed at the big black dog. Throw it over.
