In the blink of an eye, the monkey Xiaohui has been back to the Big Bamboo Peak for a few days. During this time, it seems that it has been away from the Big Bamboo Peak for almost ten years. The monkey still treats every plant and tree here. familiar with.
The whole day, Xiaohui and Dahuang frolicked and played, running here and there. The usually quiet Big Bamboo Peak seemed to be a little more lively in these few days.
The barking of dogs and the shrill shouting and laughing of monkeys echoed on the Big Bamboo Peak from time to time, making them a little more angry.
In the early morning, the disciples of Dazhu Peak who came out of their bedrooms in twos and threes couldn't help smiling when they saw a monkey and a dog running around in the open space outside the Shoujing Hall.
He Dazhi smiled and turned back to the crowd and said, "Ever since my junior sister got married, our place hasn't been this lively for a long time."
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, at this moment, they suddenly heard someone coughing in the Shoujing Hall, the voice was loud and majestic, everyone was startled, and saw Tian Buyi standing there, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and greeted the master .
Tian Buyi waved his hand casually, dismissing everyone, and then his eyes were attracted by the big yellow and little gray, he looked at it for a while, snorted, and said: "Two ignorant beasts, they seem crazy in the early morning It's like screaming, sincerely not letting people sleep."
The disciples were stunned for a moment, but they dared not say more because of the majesty of the master. Tian Buyi cursed a few more words, to the effect that he had raised this stupid dog for so many years for nothing, but in the end it was still so useless, and he got into a hot fight with a stupid monkey...
Everyone was amused in their hearts, but they dared not laugh out loud.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Rhubarb, who was playing and frolicking in the distance, suddenly barked loudly at Shoujing Tangtian.
"Wow, woof, woof, woof..." The barking sound of dogs was extremely ear-piercing in the early morning, and seeing the big yellow dog with an arrogant face and sticking out its tongue, Xiang Tian Buyi seemed to be dissatisfied here, but seemed to hear Liao Tian Buyi cursed and looked dissatisfied.
All the disciples thought to themselves at the same time, could it be that Rhubarb really has some Taoism, otherwise, after such a long distance, no matter how good the ears are, I'm afraid they won't be able to listen carefully, but if it's an old dog who has learned the Tao, then naturally Never mind.
Everyone was guessing about the darkness, but Tian Buyi was so angry that Rhubarb came up suddenly, his face turned red, and he said angrily: "It's wrong, it's wrong, now even a dog dares to jump out and yell. Sixth child !"
Du Bishu, who was standing among the crowd beside him, trembled all over, was startled, stood up hastily, and said, "Master, this disciple is here, what do you want to order?"
Tian Buyi seemed to be furious, pointed at the place where Rhubarb and Xiaohui were still barking loudly in the distance, and said angrily: "You will kill that stupid dog for me at noon today, and cook a pot of dog meat to eat!" Finished, turned around bitterly, and entered the Shoujing Hall.
Du Bishu stayed where he was, sweating profusely, and lost his voice: "What? Master, this..."
Before the words finished, Tian Buyi disappeared, and after a while, everyone behind Du Bishu burst out laughing loudly, Song Daren and others laughed so hard that they almost lost their breath.
Du Bishu was anxious and angry, and said: "Why are you laughing, this, this is what Master ordered, what should I do?"
Song Daren came forward, put away his smile, although his eyes were still full of smiles, but his face was straightened, and he put on a serious look, patted Du Bishu on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Junior Brother, This is a heavy responsibility entrusted to you by Master, and you must fulfill it well."
Du Bishu was about to burst into tears, and said anxiously: "Who are you lying to? You, who here doesn't know that the master's favorite in the past was rhubarb. Let alone slaughtering it, even if we tore off a dog hair from it, the master would not give it away. We have a good face. Now this, this, this, if I really obey the master's will, and the master regrets later, will I still be alive?"
Song Daren chuckled, turned his head and left.
The second disciple Wu Dayi came over, nodded emphatically at Du Bishu, and said: "Lao Liu, you are indeed a clever person who understands Master's true meaning. If so, then you just don't listen to Master's will."
Next to him, He Dazhi looked up at the sky, and walked away slowly, but he said, intentionally or not, "But I heard that the master hates us disciples who disobey the master's orders. this… "
His laughter came with the wind, but he walked away.
Du Bishu turned around like ants on a hot pot, looked back, but saw that everyone had already gone to the kitchen, he couldn't help shouting angrily at the backs of those senior brothers: "You disloyal guys, Sooner or later there will be retribution!"
His voice passed over, and I don't know if Song Daren and the others heard it, but they saw Song Daren from a distance without turning his head, just stretched out his right hand and waved it in mid-air, faintly, it seemed that their laughter could be heard Voice…

"Stupid dog, stupid dog, dead dog..."
"Wow woof, woof woof!"
"What, you dare to yell at me!" Du Bishu gritted his teeth, and scolded Rhubarb who was tied to the tree stump, "It's because you are meddlesome that Master sent me on such a ghostly errand."
Near noon, Du Bishu caught the big yellow running around all over the mountains and tied it to the tree stump at the door of the kitchen under the gloating eyes of his senior brothers, and Xiaohui next to him was hanging from the branch by his tail. It seemed that he didn't understand what Du Bishu was going to do. , Swaying back and forth on the tree, watching people and dogs fighting under the tree.
As for Rhubarb, he obviously didn't have a good impression of Du Bishu at the moment, with a fierce dog face, barking at Du Bishu non-stop.
Du Bishu kept cursing at Dahuang, but he never dared to kill Dahuang and stew dog meat as Tian Buyi said. His master has a weird temper, maybe he will see Rhubarb here when he comes out, and maybe he will take his anger out on him instead. Thinking of these, Du Bishu was really worried and didn't know what to do.
Rhubarb was obviously very dissatisfied with being tied to the tree stump, the dog's mouth was wide open, showing sharp fangs, and growled loudly at Du Bishu.
Du Bishu was upset, he stared at Dahuang, shook his head, and said to himself: "Forget it, forget it, anyway, I'm unlucky, I'd better cook first. I hope Master will be in a better mood."
As he spoke, he turned his head and walked towards the kitchen with a frowning face, not bothering with rhubarb anymore. When he walked into the kitchen, Rhubarb's barking continued, but it was probably a dog barking alone, and it didn't make much sense, and it quickly quieted down.
In order to please Tian Buyi, Du Bishu made this meal with all his heart and soul, and he really concentrated on it. Occasionally, he heard rhubarb barking from outside the kitchen, and then it became low again. It seemed to be a low "woo hoo" sound, but Du Bishu didn't pay attention to it, and was absorbed in cooking. Anyway, all senior brothers and masters and wives outside the door will not come here at the moment, so he is happy to be quiet.
After finally cooking a table of good dishes, Du Bishu breathed a sigh of relief, took a towel to wipe off his sweat, and walked out of the kitchen. Unexpectedly, he was stunned as soon as he came out, and saw a piece of rope left above the tree stump. But it has disappeared.
Du Bishu was very anxious, he looked left and right, but there was no sign of monkeys or yellow dogs, he thought to himself, could it be that some senior brother played a joke on me at this time
Immediately ran to the bedroom where all the disciples were, and inquired about it one by one, but everyone knew nothing about it, and some even made fun of him. It's just that Du Bishu didn't have any thoughts of joking at the moment, and his mind was spinning around in a daze. At this moment, a dog barked loudly in the distance, everyone was startled, Du Bishu was the first to rush out, after careful identification, it actually came from Zhang Xiaofan's room back then.
Du Bishu hastily rushed to that room, and other disciples from the Great Bamboo Valley also rushed over. When they entered the door, they saw Da Huang standing in the courtyard, barking loudly at the sky, but Xiao Hui had disappeared.
Everyone looked up at the sky, but only saw the blue sky was high, the blue was infinite, and there was nothing unusual about it. Song Daren and others searched quickly, but they searched all the rooms, but they didn't see Xiao Hui. Just as mysteriously as it came, Xiao Hui, the monkey, mysteriously disappeared again.
For some reason, amidst Da Huang's barking, everyone seemed to be missing something.
At noon that day, when Du Bishu ushered in the lunch with anxiety, Suru was the only one who appeared in front of all the disciples. Everyone was surprised, but Du Bishu was full of surprises, but he still asked with concern on his face: "Master, why isn't Master here?"
Suru gave him a blank look, and didn't bother to pay attention to him, she just turned her head and glanced in the direction of Shoujingtang, with a strange expression on her face, and said after a while: "Your master, he... has some thoughts! I'm in a bad mood, and I don't want to think about it today." Have a meal."
Everyone was startled, but seeing Suru's expression, they didn't dare to ask more questions.
On the Big Bamboo Peak, it seems that the peace of the past has been restored since then, except for the occasional rhubarb barking at the sky, nothing seems to have happened.
※※※
A figure floated down from the depths of the Qingyun Mountains, light and mysterious, almost like a legendary mountain ghost. It's just that this figure skimmed somewhere at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, and suddenly stopped. The originally rapid speed made a low whistling sound in the air, and stopped abruptly, causing the grass, flowers and trees under the feet to "sand", and all the trees were counted. Blown forward by the wind.
Surprisingly it was Gui Li.
No one knows where Ghost Li came from Qingyun Mountain, but on his shoulder, Xiao Hui once again lay on his shoulder, reunited with its master after a long absence, Xiao Hui was obviously very happy, with its long tail curled up , and the end was still wrapped around Ghost Li's arm. Especially at some point, the big wine bag on Xiao Hui's body swelled up again, and the aroma of wine was overflowing, and Xiao Hui was even more happy about it, hugging the big bag, couldn't put it down, and took a sip from the bag from time to time, A satisfied expression.
But Ghost Li obviously won't be the same as Xiao Hui, his face is pale at this moment, his eyes glanced around, he saw dense forests around him, all was silent, only the faint sound of birdsong could be heard in the distance.
Gui Li suddenly sneered, and said lightly: "Come out!"
No one answered, Ghost Li didn't say anything anymore, just turned around slowly, and stood quietly facing a certain place.
After a while, someone suddenly sighed and said: "It's only been a few days, I don't think you, my lord, are so diligent in your morality, it's really amazing!"
A figure flashed, and a man in black came out from the depths of the woods. It was Mr. Ghost.
This person seems to have always been so mysterious and unpredictable, always appearing in unexpected places.
Gui Li looked at him with indifferent eyes, although he didn't show a very disgusted expression, but obviously he didn't have a good impression of this person, he said: "You are waiting for me here, what's the matter?"
Mr. Gui's gaze wandered, first he looked at Xiao Hui on Gui Li's shoulder, especially staring at the third eye on Xiao Hui's forehead for a while, then he looked at Gui Li, and said: "Why, the deputy suzerain is not willing to Will you meet me?"
Gui Li snorted, but did not speak.
Mr. Ghost nodded and said: "It's up to you, but this time it's not because I have something to say, but because the Suzerain Ghost King sent me a letter a few days ago, asking me to tell you something."
Gui Li frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
Mr. Ghost said: "Sovereign Ghost King heard that you were injured in front of the Huanyue Cave Mansion in Qingyun Mountain, and he was very concerned. He clearly ordered everyone lurking in the Central Plains to find you and pass on a message for him. If you are injured, you can go back to the wilderness to cultivate, your body is important; if you are lucky that the deputy suzerain is not seriously ill, then there is one thing, and you have to trouble the deputy suzerain."
Gui Li was silent for a moment, then said, "Say it."
Behind the black veil, Mr. Ghost smiled faintly, and said in a low voice, "The Sect Master of the Ghost King already knew that the Beast God was defeated and fled in this Qingyun War. This beast killed countless congregants of my Holy Cult that day. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill the enemy who is the sect's sworn enemy. This escape must be to escape to the southern border he is familiar with, and only the deputy suzerain is familiar with southern Xinjiang, so I hope the deputy suzerain Going to the southern border to hunt down and kill them is also a great event for my Holy Cult."
Gui Li was silent for a moment, then nodded, and said: "Okay, I'll go."
Mr. Ghost nodded slightly, but at this moment he suddenly took a few steps forward, came in front of Ghost Li, lowered his voice, and said: "But for this trip, the suzerain specially told me in private that I must tell you that it is of course important to hunt down the beast god. , but the most important thing, there is one more thing."
Gui Li was startled, and said: "What?"
Mr. Ghost's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice: "The suzerain told me that there is an evil gluttonous beast beside the beast god. No matter what, even if the beast god escapes, this evil beast glutton must be captured alive and brought back to the wilderness. The matter is very important, the deputy suzerain must remember, remember!"
Gui Li frowned, looked deeply at Mr. Gui, and said, "What does the sect want Tao Tie to do?"
Mr. Ghost stood up straight, his tone returned to normal, and said flatly: "This is beyond what I can know."
Ghost Li looked at it for a long time, then turned around suddenly, without looking back, his figure was almost like lightning, he flew out in an instant, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Only Mr. Ghost was left standing there, looking at the direction where Gui Li was going away, talking to himself for a while.
"Strange, how could his Taoism be so diligent in such a short period of time?"
"That day, who were the men in black who saved him?"
Whispering whispers, drifting with the wind, quietly echoing in the dense forest, and finally disappearing.
