Chapter 1001: Hometown
Xiao Zhang was speechless, thought quietly for a moment, and then began to try to control the third eye, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open it, and the eyeball seemed to be extremely tired, hiding in it to sleep, but refused to come out.
After several failed efforts, Xiao Zhang gave up, he felt that this was fine, otherwise, when he opened his eyes, he would have three eyes, and when he arrived in the Central Plains, it would be strange not to be regarded as a monster.
So far, Xiao Zhang has done all the things that should be done here, and before he knows it, three years have passed. In the past three years, his cultivation skills have been greatly improved, and as for how big it is, even he himself can't imagine it.
First, it took him a year to bathe in the space-time magma lake in the Star Demon Peak, and after a year of painful suffering, he finally cultivated his twelvefold realm to the peak.
Next is the ability to merge Xuanyuan, and he is also in pain, he soaked in the magma of time and space for another year, and as a result, he has the strength of the middle level of the Divine Soul Realm.
In the end, it was the battle with the Eye of Pangu, and in the repeated sprints, he spent another year, although he kept sprinting, he didn't feel tired at all, because he was already the strength of the Divine Soul Realm, and it was still growing.
The end result was that after he completely annexed the Eye of Pangu, his strength had even touched the edge of the Heavenly Soul Realm.
After this great battle, the far west, which was already scarce in life, became even more dilapidated, full of deep pits and ravines that had been washed out by huge forces, and the forest that was originally in the territory of Shuxiangyuan had long been destroyed so that not even a single leaf could be seen.
Although this is the extreme west, it should not be ravaged like this, perhaps because Xiao Zhang annexed Xuanyuan's soul, he should have left, but he actually gave birth to some compassion.
He believes that he has an obligation and a responsibility to restore this place to its original state, and even more prosperous and vibrant than before.
So he waved his hand, and the invisible power of the elephant surged, covering the entire far west, and I saw that the ruins of the land disappeared, and gradually rivers, forests, and green areas appeared, and among them also appeared birds, beasts, and swimming fish.
In less than a few blinks of an eye, the originally barren land of the far west has become a world full of life, suddenly enlightening and refreshing.
Xiao Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and then drifted east. The Central Plains, after all, is where he has to go back, and there, he still has a lot of things to do.
…………
Yunzhou City.
At that time, Yunzhou City was a little prosperous in tranquility, and a little extraordinary in the plain, in short, it was a good place to maintain health, so the imperial court would set up the hunting ground on the outskirts of Yunzhou City.
And now Yunzhou City, it has completely changed, the whole city is immersed in depression, there are no pedestrians on the street, most of the shops are closed, and occasionally people go to the street, but they also sneak up on the street like a rat crossing the street, and then quietly go home after carefully finishing things.
A withered yellow leaf swirled and fell from the air, and landed on the shoulder of one, making a slight sound, but in this silent street, the originally faint sound of falling leaves also seemed a little harsh.
The man reached out and took the fallen leaf from his shoulder, held it in front of him for a long time, and then did not throw it away, but carefully put it in a storage bag.
He seems to have a very close sense of the place together, and every grass and tree here, even a grain of dust here, carries his indelible memories.
This person was dressed in a simple cultivation robe, not a wide-sleeved robe that symbolized the identity of a soul cultivator, he wore a hat on his head, and a layer of black veil hung down from the edges, covering his face, but despite this, it could still reveal his sadness.
After a short walk, he walked into the only tavern with an open door, which he seemed to be familiar with, and was familiar with the place where he seemed to come often.
"Boss, a pound of soju. ”
He was the only one who addressed the shopkeeper as "boss", so much so that the shopkeeper of the tavern was stunned for a long time before he hurriedly took out a small jar of wine and placed it on the table in front of him.
"Guest, this is the soju you wanted. However, the guest officer couldn't order anymore because my cook quit his job and went back to his hometown. The shopkeeper said apologetically, and at the same time carefully observed the mysterious person in front of him, as if he had found some familiarity in him.
"It doesn't matter, it's enough to have this wine. The man said, "I just don't know, is your wine here, or is it the famous liquor of the Northland?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a long time, and finally said with a smile: "That's nature, my brewing recipe is never passed on." Guest, have you ever been to my shop? I always feel that you are somewhat familiar. ”
The man did not answer, but lifted the black veil, put the jar to his lips and drank it freely, and after sighing comfortably, he simply took off the hat.
The moment he took off the hat, the shopkeeper exclaimed, "It turned out to be ......"
The man stretched out his hand to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper's mouth was immediately sealed, and he whined but could not speak.
The man said, "Can you speak quietly?" and withdrew his hand.
The shopkeeper's mouth suddenly became free, he tried his best to suppress his surprise, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Gongzi, you really shouldn't come back, don't you see that there are wanted notices against you posted everywhere on the street?"
The man didn't mean to be afraid at all, and after taking another sip of wine, he said, "I'm Xiao Zhang, this is my hometown, why can't I come back?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly covered Xiao Zhang's mouth and said extremely nervously: "Young Master Xiao, it's really not the right time for you to come back, the Xuanwu Sect is frantically looking for your whereabouts. In this way, just when I don't see anything, you hurry up and leave Yunzhou City, the farther away the better!"
Xiao Zhang was unhurried, looked at the shopkeeper, and asked, "Why did the Xuanwu Sect arrest me? And you, why did you risk your life to save me?"
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth, pulled Xiao Zhang up and came to the back kitchen, and then sighed and said: "Now everyone in the world knows that Xiao Gongzi is a great good person, doing good deeds everywhere, saving lives and helping the wounded, you are the pride of our Yunzhou City! Before they find out, let's go!"
Xiao Zhang naturally understood that this was what Xuanyuan did to do it, what he wanted was to widely publicize Xiao Zhang's goodness among the people, so as to lay the foundation for collecting the power of faith.
And even if there was no such thing, the Xuanwu faction probably would not welcome Xiao Zhang's return, because he had already betrayed Zhuge Ming.
Now, Xuanyuan has done what he should do, and it has had the expected effect, and next, it is Xiao Zhang's turn to do what he should do.
