Chapter 035: Saved

It is said that Zhang Jiabao fell into the river and was choked by the water, and it was futile to let his limbs kick around. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a large hand grabbed him from behind. After a little more drifting, the hands lifted him up to a piece of rotting wood that had been broken by the storm.

In a daze, Zhang Jiabao heard a sentence: "This life...... It was me who was wrong. The desire to survive made him cling to the wood beneath him. He didn't know that Zhang Chuanliang was pushing the wood to the shore with his body behind him.

On weekdays, the river is not so dangerous, but now the water is very difficult to deal with by the rain. However, after two incense sticks, Zhang Chuanliang was exhausted, and his body gradually sank into the river. Only a stiff hand was revealed to hook the branches of the wood, and it was dragged and agitated.

The log brushed against a reef at the mouth of the falls, and the force of the impact reversed it. Zhang Chuanliang became Zhang Jiabao's talisman pad, and his whole body was hung by the stone blade. Eventually, he was caught by a raised rock against his waist and stopped falling, broken by the rotting wood branch he held in his hand. His body will be frozen here, washed away by the currents of water for years, and turned into a white bone.

The last impact caused the wood to fall apart, and the shock sent Zhang Jiabao flying out and falling towards the bottom of the abyss. The feeling of flying into the wind made him wake up instantly, and the overly rapid landing made it difficult for him to breathe and his heart beat extremely fast. Just when Zhang Jiabao thought he was about to die, an earthy yellow figure came out through the darkness from below.

This figure caught Zhang Jiabao, carried it on his shoulder, and submerged into the endless drinking waterfall. So Zhang Jiabao experienced the most heart-wrenching moment in his life: an invisible air curtain broke through the flow of water chasing wind and electricity, enveloping the two of them. There seemed to be a silver dragon roaring on its head, hidden in the mist of water, and its head and tail were not visible, and occasionally a strange rock broke its scales and smashed into thousands of splashes. Under the feet is a wall of thousands of feet, from time to time there are rocks protruding, but can always dodge. Accelerating along the momentum of the fall, reaching a clever balance, no hanging, such as walking on the ground, swimming arrows breaking through the air, better than soaring.

When the speed increased to the point that his feet could not reach, this man actually punched the stone with his flesh, trying to use the reaction force to stop the dive. The stone shattered in response, and the figure paused in the air for a moment, then jumped a hundred meters and jumped to the next point. The situation looked dangerous, but Zhang Jiabao felt very safe, he lost his heart in this change of life and death, and he fell asleep at this time.

Had a damp and warm dream.

When he woke up, there was a bonfire burning next to him, and Zhang Jiabao saw that he was at the foot of a hill, and a few meters away it seemed to be a canyon. There was no trace of the stars or moon in the sky, only an extremely faint band of light that stretched out in an unknown direction.

The silence around was terrifying, and Zhang Jiabao didn't dare to move. Thankfully, the strange man who saved him returned, carrying a strange-looking armored creature the size of a house cat.

The strange man sat by the campfire and spat out hard words: "You...... Some...... Familiar. "It seems that he has not spoken for a long time.

"Are you?" Zhang Jiabao was also curious about who this person was, why he appeared under this abyss, and his body was ridiculously strong. At this time, watching him quickly tear off the carapace of the creature with his bare hands, he was secretly speechless.

"You are, Guang'an Mansion, Qingping Prefecture, Zhang's family. I have had a relationship with you. As he spoke, the strange man wrenched off the head of the rat creature in three or two clicks, and then ripped open its chest and abdomen with his fingers, tearing off all its internal organs.

Wiping the mud shell off his face with the blood of the beast that had been poured out, the strange man said, "Do you still recognize me?" The words gradually smoothed out, but slowly.

Zhang Jiabao recognized him as one of the two Dragon and Tiger Taoist monks who came to the Zhang family six years ago to practice the law. He and his master have borne the scolding of the Zhang family for many years, and everyone thought that it was the two of them who were taken away from Guan Naiya and almost killed Zhang Jiabao. Although Zhang Jiabao had ripped off the face towel of a man in black, he knew that the master and apprentice were not men in black, but he thought that the matter also had a lot to do with them, and who told them to disappear for no reason.

"I recognize you," Zhang Jiabao nodded at the stranger, "thank you for saving me." But why are you here?" I was very eager to know the answer, who would have thought that a little Taoist priest who looked quite funny back then would grow into such an abyss knight with amazing cultivation?

"I'm here to wait for you. ”

"Wait for me?" Zhang Jiabao was stunned.

"Really, I don't lie to you. Master said that you are a nobleman, and you are a nobleman. ”

The creature had already been set up and roasted, and the strange man told Zhang Jiabao the story of the master and him.

"I don't know how old Master is, and he doesn't know either. Originally, he didn't even have a road number. ”

"Many years ago, Master deduced that there was a great change brewing that would affect the common people and shake the heavens and the earth. In order to find a way to break the situation, Master took me to the south and settled down in the Dragon and Tiger Sect. The Master was also given the name of No True Man. ”

......

"Six years ago, Master sensed that the ancient divine beast 'Thousand Branches', which had been sleeping in the southeast border for thousands of years, had moved under the dangerous land of Ezhou. This mythical beast is not only related to the national fortune of our dynasty, but also to the safety of the entire Chinese nation. So Master took me to track down Qianzhi, and at that time I thought that Master was taking me out to play under an excuse, because I saw him holding a gossip plate and making trouble, and I never saw the true face of Qianzhi. ”

"It took us about a month to get to Estates, and then we kept following the thousand butts. From early autumn to midsummer, we crossed most of the empire to the vicinity of Longxin Lake. The master said that Qianzhi had settled in the abyss of inscription and had not moved. He also said that there were officers and soldiers stationed everywhere above the abyss, and he had to find another way to go down. ”

"It happened that the fishermen of Longxin Lake salvaged a huge strange fish carcass and wanted to sell it to Master. The master looked at the appearance of the fish and concluded that it was not a product of the lake, and estimated that from the lake it could lead to the underground, and perhaps there was an underground passage connected to the abyss. ”

"Longxin Lake, which is usually rich in fish, has a lot of murderous things, and there is no danger with the cultivation of Master and me. There is a crack in the rock wall of more than ten zhang under the lake, and there is no hole after entering. The corridors lead in all directions, like a labyrinth, some can fit into a house, and some can only accommodate one person. The dark river is murmuring, there is no light, and there is no living thing but me. When shouting, you can hear the echo endlessly. ”

"The master divined a hexagram for a thousand branches, and it was for the great murderer. So he hurried down for several days, reaching the bottom of the abyss, and the hidden breath continued to move forward. In the chaotic light of spells, five foreigners were seen fighting with a thousand branches. Somehow, Chichi has been clinging to his own vital points, passively beaten, and finally died by a sword cutting open his lower abdomen. ”

"Those five people are extremely strong, and the two of us are invincible. Master ordered me to take care of Chichi's body and wait for him to return, and since he raided the five foreigners, he seized a part of Chichi's body, and used a secret method to escape. Those foreigners were furious and threw down a thousand corpses to chase after my master. May his old man be safe. ”

"Master also asked me to greet the noble person who 'flew through the sky' in five years, and that was you. ”
