Chapter 7 War Elephants [Part 1]
Chapter 7: Battle Elephant [Part 1]
As soon as Zhang Sihu opened the door, he saw a huge monster blocked in front of the door. He was more than two meters tall, his body was big and thick, his long nose, two huge snow-white fangs, his head was as big as a millstone, his ears were like two big fans, and his four flesh legs were simply four pillars!
Ao!!!
The elephant was alarmed by the sound of the door opening and immediately howled, and Zhang Sihu stood in front of Daxiang, facing the elephant's huge mouth on his face, which led to...
"My mother!" Zhang Sihu screamed strangely, turned around and ran back, shouting "Monster! Monster!" while running.
"Hahaha..." Zhang Chong laughed loudly outside the door. The laughter was so bad that it was obviously very interesting to the elephant scaring others.
Zhang Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to Zhang Sihu who ran to the corner of the wall, but walked to the door and looked at the elephant's back. Sure enough, he saw his second brother Zhang Chong sitting on the elephant's back, waving a spear in his hand, like a general returning in triumphant manner. Zhang Chong's fat body rode on the elephant, which made him look like a perfect match.
"Second brother, this is all at the door of your house. Why don't you get out quickly?" Zhang Yuan said with a smile.
"Haha, Xiao Si, you're very tall." Zhang Chong said with a smile.
"You come down first, let's go in. Look at the many people gathered in front of this door. Are you going to play monkey play?" Zhang Yuan said.
"Hahaha..." Zhang Chong had no embarrassed expression at all about being watched, but seemed very glorious. He laughed a few times. After laughing, Zhang Chong turned over and jumped off the elephant's back. Zhang Yuan made way open the gate. Zhang Chong took the reins of the elephant and entered the yard. Zhang Chong followed several servants and soldiers, and a carriage, which also entered the yard. Fortunately, the yard of Zhang Yuan's new residence was big enough, otherwise he would not be able to accommodate it.
Zhang Yuan and Zhang Chong entered the yard, and Zhang Chong handed the reins of the elephant to a servant, then turned around and said to Zhang Yuan, "Xiao Si, how about it? Are you looking for this big guy?"
"It's this guy. I didn't expect it to be got so soon. Second brother, where did you get it?" Zhang Yuan said with a smile.
"It's a coincidence. After you wrote a letter to my father, my father wrote a letter to me and my third brother, asking me and me to look for such a giant beast called elephant or a relatively large beast. It happened that there was such a big guy in Hongtu City. It was originally in the hands of a wealthy businessman, but my third brother and I bought it for you." Zhang Chong said with a smile.
"Forced buying? It won't cause trouble for the third brother, right?" Zhang Yuan asked in surprise.
"Haha, I'm just saying that. Actually, what is that forced buying? Your third brother is the city lord in Hongtu City. When the rich businessman heard that your third brother wanted to buy his elephant, he immediately agreed and rushed to give it to him for free. It would be your third brother who forced him to give it a thousand taels of silver. Don't worry, there is no trouble, don't care." Zhang Chong said with a smile.
"Oh, that's good." Zhang Yuan responded, and waved to Bai Mei and Zhang Sihu, saying, "Bai Mei, go and make a pot of tea and give it to me, Sihu! Don't shrink in the corner of the wall, hurry up and entertain guests, and go to the street to buy a few ready-made wine and food, and greet them with good wine and food."
"Yes, yes, young master, I'll go now." Zhang Sihu said a little embarrassedly.
After Zhang Yuan gave the order, he took Zhang Chong into his room. After entering the room, Zhang Chong was not polite and looked for Zhang’s chair to sit down. However, after sitting down, Zhang Chong’s expression suddenly became solemn. He took out a letter from his arms and put it on the words, saying, “Fourth brother, this is what my father asked me to give to you.”
Zhang Yuan looked at Zhang Chong with a solemn expression in confusion, especially Zhang Chong called him "Fourth Brother" instead of "Little Fourth", which is a very rare situation.
Although Zhang Yuan was a little confused, he didn't say much, but picked up the envelope, took out the letter paper, expanded it, and read the content above...
As Zhang Yuan read the contents of the letter, his face kept changing, sometimes frowning, sometimes loosening, sometimes rubbing his eyebrows, sometimes dazed for a moment, and waited for him to finish reading the contents of the letter, looked at Zhang Chong for a few seconds, and then paced back and forth in the room...
While Zhang Yuan was walking back and forth, Zhang Chong did not speak, but waited silently. During this period, Bai Mei entered the room with a gap, and Zhang Chong took the tea set and then sent Bai Mei out of the room. Zhang Yuan didn't say anything from beginning to end, frowned and thought, paced around the room, as if there were very important things to decide, but he was unable to control it.
After more than ten minutes, Zhang Yuan finally stopped, took a deep breath, turned his eyes to his second brother Zhang Chong, and said, "Second brother, how much does my father mention to you about my affairs?"
"I basically know that you are a disciple, a cultivation of immortality, and the treasures in your hands." Zhang Chong said seriously.
"What do you think?" Zhang Yuan asked again.
Zhang Chong's expression turned sharply, from seriousness to smiling, and said, "Hehe, fourth brother, I am very interested in cultivating immortals. Of course, whether I can cultivate immortals depends on the opportunity. If I am not suitable for cultivating immortals, it is nothing. Just follow you. Besides, you have to practice with peace of mind. You also need someone who believes in them to help you deal with some messy things. What do you think?"
When Zhang Yuan saw his second brother's big and fat face, his sense of alert began to loosen for no reason. He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Second brother, if you want to cultivate immortality, I need to report to my master, but can you be under my master's sect? This..."
"I understand, I understand, I don't expect to be a disciple of the immortal. I understand my own qualifications. It's hard to practice literature and martial arts. I'm not qualified to practice immortality, but in life, I have to pursue something, otherwise I will live in a daze. In addition..." Zhang Chong said this, with a smile on his face and said, "As the saying goes, one person is better than being an ordinary person to be a mortal."
"..." Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment, and finally smiled and said, "Okay, second brother, just follow me, but I want to tell you in advance that if I fail to ascend, you will be useless and your life will be in vain."
"Hahaha..." Zhang Chong laughed a few times, then laughed: "Don't he was in vain or not, anyway, he has been busy, and his life will never be in vain!"
Zhang Yuan and Zhang Chong talked for a long time, mainly because Zhang Yuan was talking, and Zhang Chong listened carefully, asked a few questions occasionally, and Zhang Yuan gave a detailed description. As for what he said, it was nothing more than the story of his fooling his father Zhang Liang, the story of cultivation, the story of immortal cultivation, the famous biography of immortals, and some messy myths.
While Zhang Yuan and Zhang Chong were talking, Zhang Sihu went outside to arrange a few tables of wine and food, and Zhang Chong and his group came to the city early in the morning and had not eaten breakfast, so Zhang Yuan accompanied Zhang Chong to eat some wine and food. Of course, they chatted at the table for a long time.
When Zhang Chong had enough food and drink, Zhang Yuan took Zhang Chong to the dark room of the cellar, preparing to let him see the magic weapons and magic pills.
"This is the Qiankun bag, which can be filled with things in infinite capacity, but this thing does not reduce the weight. The more it is, the heavier it will be. Unless it is an immortal with endless magic power, you can wave your hand to lift the mountains, otherwise this thing will not perform much function." Zhang Yuan introduced.
Zhang Chong's eyes swept around the dark room, especially when he saw a bunch of bulging red cloth bags from Santa Claus in the corner of the wall. With excitement and hesitation, he asked: "Are these Qiankun bags?"
"It's all, this thing is worthless." Zhang Yuan said casually.
"This... can I try it?" Zhang Chong asked with interest.
"There's nothing wrong. You can take one in a while and just treat it as a meeting gift, haha." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.
"Really!" Zhang Chong asked in surprise.
"Really, really, but you can't show this thing in front of outsiders. If it is exposed, it will be troublesome." Zhang Chong instructed.
"I naturally know this, and I will never let outsiders know it!" Zhang Chong said solemnly.
Zhang Yuan smiled, picked a red cloth bag casually, untied the rope at the pocket, then poured the gift inside in the corner, and threw the empty red cloth bag to his second brother Zhang Chong, saying, "I'll give it to you."
With the help of the red cloth bag, Zhang Chong was so excited that he opened the bag and looked inside like a child. He then put his arm into the bag, and then put his head into the bag...
"Hey! Second brother!" Zhang Yuan shouted. He was really shocked by Zhang Chong's actions. He really didn't expect that Zhang Chong would be so reckless and put his head into the red cloth bag. When he was about to pounce over to save Zhang Chong, Zhang Chong stretched his head out of the red cloth bag, and then asked with confusion: "What's wrong?"
"..." Zhang Yuan was speechless, touched his forehead and sweaty, and said, "Second brother, how could you put your head into the Qiankun bag!"
"Why? Can't you reach in?" Zhang Chong asked in surprise.
"This... I don't know, I've never done this before..." Zhang Yuan touched the back of his head, looked at the red cloth bag in Zhang Chong's hand, then looked at Zhang Chong, and suddenly asked curiously: "Second brother, what is the Qiankun bag like?"
"This is dark, strange. I looked inside the bag from the outside and felt that it was quite bright. But after I put my head in, it was dark inside and I couldn't see anything. I wonder if I could put the oil lamp in, maybe I could see clearly what it was inside." Zhang Chong said with interest.
"..." Zhang Yuan was speechless again, but he was deeply impressed by his second brother Zhang Chong's wonderful ideas, and he could even think of such a ridiculous thing.
Zhang Chong finished exploring the Qiankun bag, then glanced around in the dark room, and then said, "Fourth brother, what other treasures are there?"
