Chapter 45: New Neighbor (Second Update)
Inside Leigong Hall, there are specialized shops selling food for spirit messengers and spirit beasts. The prices vary greatly, and even the better-off people can't afford them. Alas, in these times, spirit beasts are more pampered than humans. In the past, even the most powerful spirit beasts were raised freely, finding their own food, and sometimes they would even find food for their masters. Now, it's the other way around - spirit beasts have become the masters, and their owners take care of their every need.
Linggu has not yet matured, and sometimes it is allowed to forage on its own, but now that it has developed, it saves itself from having to run around everywhere.
When I arrived at Leigong Hall, except for the commotion, the usually deserted Leigong Hall was surprisingly bustling with people, and there was also a familiar voice.
Dizzy, Zhao Guang actually came back.
Zhao Guang was surrounded by many younger fellow disciples in the center, although he was no longer the eldest senior brother of Leigong Hall, but he still had the style of a big senior brother when he came back.
"Big Brother Master, what's Dao Guang Hall like? Do we have a chance?"
"Yes, Master Brother, if there's a chance, take us over too."
Wang Meng couldn't help but shake his head, and changed to evil cultivation. This guy actually dared to come back, lightly he would be stabbed with a few holes, heavily he would be skinned and have his tendons pulled out, this was probably the holy cultivation.
But this is the current state of Leigong Hall, and it's not surprising that these disciples are seeking a way out. No one wants to spend their entire life here.
In the mortal world, even if you're not talented, you can still make a living, but if you can't get ahead here, life is really tough. Moreover, anyone who enters the Small Thousand World has goals and ambitions, who would be willing to fall behind?
"Hehe, everyone, I'm no longer the senior brother, but thank you for still looking up to me, after all these years, our bond remains, and when there's a chance, I won't forget about everyone."
Zhao has always been good at putting on a nice face.
Apart from Wang Meng not taking him seriously, there was another person who seemed to be avoiding Zhao Guang as well. Zhou Qian thought that since he hadn't checked the almanac today, he shouldn't have gone out.
As a result, Wang Meng came face to face with him as soon as he looked up. Zhou Qian was taken aback and turned around to leave. In his opinion, Wang Meng was equal to trouble, and he didn't want to meet trouble head-on.
"Haha, isn't this Brother Zhou? Why are you in such a hurry?"
As a result, he ran into Zhao Guang again, and Zhao Guang seemed to still have some lingering feelings.
"Brother Zhao, it's been a long time, and your demeanor is still the same."
"How can I compare to Junior Master Zhou? As soon as I left, I heard that he unleashed his divine might and chased away the people from Hengshan Hall, and even wants to open a hall for battle, how awesome!"
Zhao Guang's eyes flashed with disdain, this dog leg actually also wants to be the king of the mountain where there is no old tiger, Lei Guangtang doesn't want him, but can't tolerate this kind of person taking power.
"Brother Zhao laughed and said, I was also forced to, the people of Hengshan Hall are too bullying."
Zhou Qian smiled wryly and said, he knew that Zhao Guang was quite good at being jealous.
"Ah, oh, how come I didn't notice you had this courage before? Is this still the Zhou Qian I know who used to follow me around everywhere? Haha, good job, looks like these years of following me haven't been wasted after all, you've actually learned something."
Zhao Guanglian was dismissed and demoted, but even if Zhou Qian decided to let him off easy, his face still looked bad.
But he still didn't want to mess with this kind of person and sometimes felt quite embarrassed.
"Ah, I thought it was someone else, turns out it's Big Brother Master. Oh, former Big Brother Master." Wang Meng patted Zhou Qian's shoulder, "Brother Zhou, you really are... after all these years of friendship with Brother Zhao, it's a rare opportunity, shouldn't you follow Brother Zhao to Da Guang Hall? I heard it's great there, the moon is even rounder than ours, right, Brother Zhao?"
"Cough cough, Wang Meng, it's been a long time since we last met, your tongue is still so sharp." Zhao Guang also felt a bit embarrassed, how could he explain his own behavior which wasn't that good-looking either.
"Where, where, Master Zhao, can I go to Daoguang Hall?" Wang Meng pointed at himself with a face full of longing.
"I still have something to attend to, let's gather again another time." Zhao Guang gave Wang Meng a stern look before turning around and leaving.
He came here to find Zhao Ya, of course, also with a private heart, ready to talk to Hu Jing again. After going to Daoguang Hall, he found it more and more difficult to meet someone like Hu Jing, and the competition in Daoguang Hall was extremely fierce. Even if he fought for it with his own strength and background, it would be hard. There were many monks but few meat dishes, and he still missed Hu Jing. Who would have thought that before seeing Hu Jing, he would encounter such a thing.
Every time he sees Wang Meng, it makes him unhappy. In the future, if there is a chance, he will not hesitate to teach the other how to be human!
"Zhou Shixiong, instead of living in such a muddle, why not take a risk? Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the hands of heaven. Some things can't be avoided just by hiding."
Wang Meng said.
Zhou Qian sighed, muttering to himself in his heart. Although Zhao Guang was smiling now, he was actually quite shallow. Moreover, with how well Zhou Qian knew Zhao Guang, it was likely that Wang Meng had already been put on his blacklist. Sometimes being too arrogant could bring about disaster.
Zhou Qian didn't have the bad habit of being a know-it-all, and he said with a bitter smile,
"Things have come to this point, I have no choice but to go, and even if I do go, it's not like I can change anything. As I said before, all I can do is try my best, so don't expect too much from me."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Qian left.
Wang Meng finished shopping and then met up with Hu Jing and Zhang Xiaojiang until the evening before returning to his own hut.
Wang Meng rubbed his eyes, was it an illusion?
Haven't drunk too much, why are there two cottages?
The larger thatched cottage door creaked open, and it was actually Zhou Feng.
"Ah, young friend, it's been a long time! I've come to keep you company!"
Wang Meng almost fell over, with three black lines on his face. Grandma's leg! It's only been a short while since they met, after all, he is an elder, and should be given some respect.
"Cough cough, Elder Zhou, what's going on here..."
"Haha, I feel that the atmosphere of the temple is too depressing and not conducive to cultivation. It's great to have met you, little friend! So I've moved out. In the future, we can communicate more if there's anything!"
Zhou Feng laughed very brightly.
Wang Meng suddenly had an urge to punch him, "Cough cough, Elder Zhou, the conditions here are harsh and inconvenient in every way. I think it's best for you to return to the main hall, after all, you're a pillar of the Holy Hall!"
Zhou Feng waved his hand seriously, "No need to be polite, just call me Old Zhou. What's with the pillar and fake pillar? Last time I chatted with you, I gained a lot."
Wang Meng was a bit of a sweat, this guy really wasn't ordinary, but the problem was that he was the elder of the General Hall, and he really couldn't be driven away, even this broken hut belonged to Leigong Hall.
Wang smiled a few times, "Elder Zhou is too polite, those were just nonsense I spouted."
"It's just a casual remark, but it has reached this level of realm, I admire it!" Zhou Feng shook his head and actually took it seriously, making Wang Meng speechless.
Back in his thatched cottage, Wang Meng cleared his mind. Is this guy crazy? He just wanted to get a few pieces of spiritual stone, but he actually came here to squat on him.
In the night, the divine realm gradually expanded, and the scenery on the other side became clear.
