Three days later, at Guo Qian'er's grave, Zhang Jiao made an oath to avenge Guo Qian'er.

In the past, Zhang Jiao did not have the idea of deliberately cultivating in his heart, but Guo Qian'er's death stimulated him, made him feel weak and powerless, and made him clearly realize the importance of strength, so Zhang Jiao began to learn fist and foot kung fu from the old hunter in the village, and meditated and practiced diligently at night, hoping to improve his realm quickly.

Although Zhang Jiao wanted to become stronger quickly, he ignored a problem and absorbed cultivation, which undoubtedly increased his burden, whether it was practicing martial arts or meditating and cultivating, he needed to gather spiritual incense to gather the aura around him. Meditation and cultivation require the transformation of spiritual energy into true qi, and the true qi consumed by practicing martial arts also needs spiritual energy to replenish it, and it is difficult to do it in a place outside the city where spiritual energy is thin, without gathering spiritual incense to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although the Gathering Spirit Incense is only a low-grade spirit coin per bunch, it is not something that Zhang Jiao can afford for a long time, plus Zhang Jiao also has a sick father, how can there be so much money for him to use in cultivation.

The thought that he couldn't even carry out cultivation made Zhang Jiao feel very distressed, and a sense of despair arose, and soon after, Zhang Jiao continued to be busy with farm work, and gradually forgot about cultivation.

Because he couldn't afford to buy pills, Zhang Jiao often had to go to the mountains to pick herbs for his father to treat his illness, and there were many wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains, so Zhang Jiao often encountered various dangers, died nine times in his life, and finally was able to collect medicinal materials safely and come back. Zhang Jiao knew that such good luck could not be there every time, but for the sake of his father, Zhang Jiao had to continue to do so.

This time, Zhang Jiao's father coughed up blood again, and the cough was very serious, and Zhang Jiao had to go up the mountain again to collect medicine.

Yuncang Mountain, ten miles south of the village, this is the place where Zhang Jiao wants to collect medicine, this time Zhang Jiao went out early in the morning, and entered the mountain during the day, because the mountain spirits are more active at night than during the day, so it is less dangerous to go up the mountain during the day.

Due to the more into the mountains, Zhang Jiao has figured out the habits of some beasts in the mountain, for the medicinal materials to be collected, Zhang Jiao also knows where the specific location is, so Zhang Jiao carefully went to the place where the medicinal materials were to be collected, and used the shelter to avoid all kinds of beasts along the way, if he encountered a demon beast, Zhang Jiao would hide motionless in the shelter, try to hide his breath, and wait for the monster to leave, sometimes he had to hide for a day, Zhang Jiao's patience made him avoid a lot of dangers.

In the prescription, the blood circulation and stasis of the Zhu Zhu grass, the recovery of the vitality of the ganshen, the hematopoietic metaplasia of the casua, etc. all grow in different places in the mountains, Zhang Jiao has to go to another place to pick another medicinal material after picking a medicinal material, this time, Zhang Jiao seems to be lucky, there are no beasts and monsters along the way, soon, Zhang Jiao has the last taste of the medicinal herbs left without picking, this is the medicine in the prescription, without the medicine introduction, the prescription will not play much role.

When Zhang Jiao came to the place where the medicine guide was, he found that there was a huge tiger demon sleeping on a large rock, and under the stone was the medicine guide that Zhang Jiao needed.

The shade here, the tall trees are towering, and the sunlight cannot be found on the stones, which also contributes to the growth environment of the medicine required by Zhang Jiao. Look at this tiger demon snoring like thunder, the demonic aura on the body is pervasive, the momentum is terrifying, just a glance makes Zhang Jiao's heart tremble, but Zhang Jiao knows that the tiger demon has the habit of resting during the day and moving at night, and now that the tiger demon is asleep, as long as he is careful and careful, he may be able to collect medicine.

Just in case, Zhang Jiao deliberately stayed in the grass in the distance for an hour, and found that the tiger demon was indeed sleeping, so he put his mind at ease, a little bit, and cautiously began to climb forward, just ten zhang away from the tiger demon, when he was about to get close to the medicine, Zhang Jiao suddenly stopped, at this time he realized that he had ignored a problem, that is, from beginning to end, the tiger demon's breathing was too even, not like the low and slow voice of the tiger demon when he was sleeping, Zhang Jiao then understood, this tiger demon was pretending to sleep, in fact, he had already discovered Zhang Jiao, and deliberately lured Zhang Jiao over！

At this time, I thought that I couldn't help but let Zhang Jiao break out in a cold sweat, knowing that he had been discovered, and he couldn't run if he didn't run, so Zhang Jiao suddenly turned around and ran, and any extra action was to find death. When the tiger demon saw that Zhang Jiao had run away, where would he let go of this prey, he also jumped up from the stone, roared suddenly, the tiger roared and shook the sky, and even sent out a hurricane from the tiger's mouth, hitting Zhang Jiao, and the tiger demon then chased after Zhang Jiao.

The hurricane destroyed trees and knocked Zhang Jiao into the slope, Zhang Jiao endured the pain, quickly stood up, and continued to escape.

The tiger demon was in hot pursuit, Zhang Jiao panicked, and just when the tiger demon was about to catch up, Zhang Jiao suddenly found that he had chosen the wrong direction to escape, and there was a cliff in front of him!

In the face of two mortal endings, Zhang Jiao thought to himself: I can't beat the Jindan level tiger demon, and I will die by jumping off this cliff during the Qi refining period, since it is also death, it is better to jump off this cliff than to be torn to pieces and eaten by the tiger demon!

At the moment of jumping off the cliff, Zhang Jiao thought most of his father, without Zhang Jiao, his father would not live long, the reason why he was willing to take the risk of going up the mountain to collect medicine, in addition to treating his father, in fact, Zhang Jiao also had the idea of dying in his heart, Zhang Jiao had enough of this life, as a monk, he couldn't even cultivate, the immortals outside the city were too bitter, since Guo Qian'er's death, this feeling was even stronger.

When I die, I'll be able to see Qian'er! At that time, I must tell Qian'er that I like her!

And when Zhang Jiao thought he was dead, Zhang Jiao woke up and found himself lying in a cave, in front of a fire that someone didn't know, Zhang Jiao couldn't help but think: Could it be that I didn't die and was saved by a powerful senior?

At this time, the phantom of an old man with crane hair and a long robe suddenly appeared on the fire in front of Zhang Jiao, startling Zhang Jiao.

The phantom of the old man looked at Zhang Jiao with a smile and said, "Child, don't be afraid, I am Nanhua Immortal, and I am the one who saved you." ”

"South China...... Immortal Weng, Immortal!" Zhang Jiao hurriedly saluted and thanked: "Thank you Immortal Grandpa for saving my life!"

"Grandpa?" Nanhua laughed and said: "Haha! Okay, you just call me grandpa, child, listen well, my deity is not in this world, so the incarnation of the virtual image to meet you, this is a place where the predecessors cultivated, it is under the cliff wall where you jumped off the cliff before, this is located in the Lingmai Mountain, full of spiritual energy, you can cultivate patiently here, I will pass on you a strange book, you have to cultivate to the foundation building realm before you have the ability to go up to the top of the cliff to go back." ”

"But, old man, I still have a sick father at home!" Zhang Jiao said quickly.

Nanhua pinched his fingers and sighed: "Alas, I just calculated that your father had died of a serious illness shortly after you entered the mountain, and now the people in your village are dealing with your father's funeral. ”

"Ahh Immediately grief-stricken, almost fainted.

After that, Zhang Jiao's mood calmed down, and he understood that what was in front of him was the phantom of the immortals, if there was a chance, how could he not seize it, so Zhang Jiao hurriedly knelt down and said to Nanhua: "The old man gave me a strange book to help me cultivate, that is my master, the master is above, please accept the disciple Zhang Jiao's worship!"

Nanhua said with a smile: "Okay, Zhang Jiao, I give you this strange book for the teacher, called "Taiping Technique", which is a strange book co-authored by the teacher and Zuo Ci and Yu Ji, and the three of them are called the three immortals in the clouds, speaking of which, you are the apprentice of the three immortals in the clouds. ”

"Disciple here to thank Master Zuo Ci and Master Yu Ji, thank you to the three masters for giving you the Fa!" Zhang Jiao said solemnly.

Nanhua nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, Zhang Jiao, this book contains a lot, no matter swordsmanship, spells, array talismans and forbidden spells, I hope you are good at it, the teacher has calculated that in twenty years, there will be chaos in the world, and then you will need to protect the immortals in the world!"

"Yes, the disciple must take it as his responsibility to help the world!" Zhang Jiao replied very seriously.

So Nanhua threw his hand, and a book of heaven appeared from the fire and fell into Zhang Jiao's hands.

"This is the "Taiping Technique", in the name of Taiping, I hope you will bring peace to the world, and I also want to tell you that the three of you also have a disciple before you, if you meet him in the future, if he has difficulties, help him more. Nanhua said.

Zhang Jiao asked, "Master, if a disciple meets a senior brother in the future, does he need to listen to his brother's words and act?"

Master Nanhua said, "No, he has his tasks, you have your duties, you two don't interfere with each other, you can do your own thing as you like." ”

"That's right, that disciple understands!" Zhang Jiao said.

Nanhua nodded, and then said: "What you should say for the teacher has been said, and the rest depends on your own, go for the teacher!"

The phantom in the fire gradually disappeared, and Zhang Jiaogong sent Master Nanhua away.

Now there is only Zhang Jiao left in this cave, looking at the book of heaven in his hand, there are four gold-patterned characters written on the cover, "Taiping Yaoshu".

Because Zhang Jiao is still only in the realm of the Qi refining period and cannot awaken the divine consciousness of the sixth consciousness, what Nanhua gave Zhang Jiao is the "Taiping Technique" that anyone can read, Zhang Jiao just watched "Taiping Technique", and was attracted by many of the exercises, and unknowingly, he watched it for three days and three nights.

Zhang Jiao found that this strange book is divided into three volumes, one volume is about swordsmanship, the other is about spells, and the other volume is about formations, talismans, Danshu, forbidden spells and other side doors, all three volumes are wonderful, so that Zhang Jiao has the heart to learn them all.

Turning to the last page of the Book of Heaven, there was no record of any exercises on it, but a simple line of words, but it was this line of words that made Zhang Jiao unforgettable.

Establish a heart for heaven and earth!

Make a life for the people!

For the sake of the saints, continue to learn!

Peace for everything!
