126, inherent routine: pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger
In an unknown place, Wu Zhong slowly woke up. He had just woken up with soreness, and his bones were falling apart. As far as the eye could see, there was only endless darkness and the pungent smell of corpses. And Zhang Lin, who disappeared with him, was nowhere to be found. I don't know if I woke up first or for some other reason, even under my consciousness, there was no trace of him.
Wu Zhong struggled to get up, the uninteresting pain in his body tugged at his nerves, making him feel uncomfortable. He looked around, but he didn't find the hellish mountain of corpses described in the book, let alone the strange human-faced spider. But the smell of corpses that lingered between the most snorting breaths reminded him that everything in the vicinity was not so simple.
He walked slowly along the only way, and due to the invasion of corpse qi in his body, the mana was running slowly, and it seemed that he would have to find a secluded place to relieve his worries as soon as possible.
Walking down the road, at the end, Wu Zhong finally noticed that something was wrong, and the smell of corpses that had been making him feel a headache came from in front of him, and in the middle of this space, there was a green plant, exuding a faint light, not far from it, there was a body lying down, and around, there were several human-faced spiders, for some reason hesitated.
Wu Zhong hurriedly walked over, but as soon as he stepped into the large space of this football field, a strange texture clearly came from under his feet. He looked down and saw that the white bones of Sen Sen jumped in front of him, and the number was so large that he couldn't see the original ground at all. At this time, he couldn't care about this place, but walked over eagerly. He found that the person lying there was none other than Zhang Lin who was in a coma.
At this time, Zhang Lin was still unconscious, but what made him strange was that the human-faced spiders around him did not attack him, as if they were afraid of something.
Suddenly, Wu Zhong saw some powder spilled all over the ground, and some even covered Zhang Lin's body. At this time, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly took out the medicine bag that Yilei had given him from his arms, and grabbed some and sprinkled it in front of him.
The human-faced spider who was originally about to move immediately stopped moving when he saw this medicinal powder, but was afraid of it, and finally after Wu Zhong sprinkled the medicinal powder many times, he finally turned around and fled.
I didn't expect this thing to be so amazing given by the little guy! Wu Zhong was happy in his heart. Otherwise, in the face of many human-faced spiders, coupled with the death qi in the body, you will definitely be in danger.
There was no threat around, Wu Zhong hurriedly walked in front of Zhang Lin to check, and found that he was only in a coma under the influence of death qi, and with the help of Wu Zhong, there was no major problem at this time, and he woke up.
"Ahem"
With a burst of coughing, Zhang Lin finally woke up from his coma. Suddenly, he hurriedly got up and hurriedly defended regardless of his injuries, his eyes widened and his expression nervous. When he saw that the person in front of him was Wu Zhong, he instantly sat down on the ground: "It turned out to be you." ”
Wu Zhong reluctantly smiled: "If it were someone else, I'm afraid you would have died a long time ago." ”
Zhang Lin sat quietly for a moment, finally relieved himself, and said, "Have you found the herbs?"
Wu Zhong smiled and pointed not far away: "What do you see is that?"
Zhang Lin followed his guidance and looked, only to see a strange grass that exuded a faint brilliance growing stubbornly among the bones, and immediately laughed: "Found it, found it, the second son is saved!" With that, he pulled up Wu Zhong and stumbled over.
The two of them prostrated in front of the Buddha with a thousand faces, looking at this miraculous herb, and their hearts were very happy. Although the road was tortuous, and there were also hands-on with people, but fortunately, everything went smoothly and the result was successful.
Wu Zhong looked carefully, this Thousand-Faced Buddha was not tall, only about a foot high, there were no side branches around, only layers of green leaves growing alternately. At the top, there are no figs, I don't know if they are not ripe, or if they are just that. However, Wu Zhong found that there was a scar near its root, which should be a leaf according to the inference. At this time, he wondered if the drunken fairy had relied on a leaf to relieve the curse and venom, and if so, this thousand-faced Buddha was really magical. Then Wu Zhong told this speculation.
When Zhang Lin heard this, he thought for a long time, and finally slowly spoke: "Since this is the case, why don't we take a piece by ourselves." With the backbone, presumably the second son will get better soon, and it is not too much for us to take a leaf, in case we encounter a similar situation in the future. ”
Wu Zhong nodded slowly in agreement. In this case, Wu Zhong and the others took off a leaf, carefully placed it in a brocade box and sealed it, and finally put it in a Qiankun bag.
The two got up, Zhang Lin looked at Wu Zhong, and suddenly hesitated. Seeing this, Wu Zhong asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Lin looked at the elixir in front of him, and he couldn't say clearly: "This... Well... ”
Wu Zhong thought about it, and finally suddenly thought of something, and suddenly laughed dumbly. It turned out that this Zhang Lin was thinking about who would pick this elixir. This move seems simple, and the results are all for Xiao Ping's condition, but the first beneficiary is different. Whoever takes the lead in handing it into the hands of the other must take the first credit for it, and the other must be a vassal. Zhang Lin has been in the Xiao family for many years, although he has some friendship with the Xiao family, but after all, it is average. If he has this thing, although he is only in the early stage of transforming into a god now, one day in the future, his cultivation will be improved, and he will definitely be valued for it. Therefore, when Zhang Lin thought of this, he hesitated. In the face of such a temptation, he must have been moved, but he did not forget that he was saved by Wu Zhong, and because of Wu Zhong's relationship, he got this package of magical medicine powder, which saved him from being attacked by poisonous insects.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lin finally felt a chord in his heart and said, "You take it down." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly lowered his head, as if he was afraid that he would change his mind after seeing the Buddha of the Thousand Faces again.
Wu Zhong originally wanted to tease him, but when he saw Zhang Lin like this, he couldn't bear it, so he said softly: "It's more useful for you to hold this thing." Don't dislike what I say, after all, I have a master, and I am also the current deputy sect master, who is powerful, and my senior brother is also the mainstay of the Xiao family. I have them to take care of me, and I will not be wronged in the future. You are different, if you put this elixir in their hands, it will definitely change your fate. ”
When Zhang Lin heard this, his face was full of emotion, and he immediately hugged his fists and thanked him: "If it is useful to me Zhang Lin in the future, just open your mouth." After speaking, he pulled out the Buddha with a thousand faces. And as he held the elixir in front of the two of them, a strange thing happened. Wu Zhong clearly felt the death qi in his body flowing, and in the end, he was actually absorbed by the Thousand Faces Buddha. The hidden danger buried in his body disappeared suddenly. He looked at Zhang Lin and found that he had the same expression, and knew that this Buddha with a thousand faces was really magical.
But before the two of them could be happy, the cave suddenly sounded, and a powerful aura came from far and near, like a volcanic eruption, threatening to swallow everything. Seeing this, the two of them flew up and fled through the gap in the top of the mountain in a streamer. At the moment of leaving, there was a powerful roar inside, shaking the mountain, and if the two of them were still inside, they would definitely be killed or injured.
As time passed, the mountain stopped shaking, and everything was calm again.
Back on the ground, the two of them felt a lot more comfortable. It's just that the two of them don't know that five days have passed since they were unconscious. At this time, the three of them were anxious, not only a matter of time, but also worried about their lives. And among the Xiao family's firms, thousands of miles away, the high priest Xi Rong was already struggling with the curse on Xiao Ping's body. If it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to heaven.
After the two came out, after a moment of happiness, these questions appeared in their minds one after another. In the end, the two agreed that Zhang Lin would leave and return to Jinling to deliver the elixir, while Wu Zhong would stay and look for Gong Yan and the three of them in the 100,000 mountains.
"Be careful, when you come back, I invite you to drink!" Zhang Lin said.
Wu Zhong smiled: "Don't worry, there will be no accident for your meal." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and went their separate ways.
At this time, Wu Zhong had a feeling of being unofficial and light, without a mission, without a sense of urgency, although he still had to find his senior brothers, but with the cultivation of the three of them, nothing would happen. In that case, there is no need to rush over there.
Walking in the jungle, Wu Zhong at this time is really like a traveler who has come to climb mountains and rocks, not in a hurry or impatient. When you are tired, you will lie on the stones, feel the sunshine, listen to the birds and insects around you, drink some mountains and water when you are thirsty, and feel the freshness brought by nature.
But sometimes it can be disturbed, like now.
"Hey, man, do you know where this is?"
At this time, Wu Zhong was sitting in the stream and resting, when he suddenly heard a shout in his ears. Looking at the voice, it turned out to be a four-person team, led by a handsome boy, and the other three were all beauties with long legs and thin waists. Wu Zhong saw that the other party was looking in his direction, he looked left and right, and found that there was no one else.
"What are you talking about?" the man pointed at himself impatiently.
Wu Zhong suddenly laughed dumbly, it turned out to be his own thing. He saw that the other party's cultivation was just causing the middle stage, and those women were even more in the early stage of qi induction, and even just entered the threshold, and then he realized that the other party did not find that his cultivation was far above him, and this handsome guy who was commanding was just to show himself in front of several beauties.
Thinking of this, he suddenly inflated his playful heart.
"Hello handsome guy, I'm not a local, I don't know where this is. Now that I'm lost, can I follow you? Wu Zhong shouted, and pretended to see a life-saving straw, as if he really didn't have cultivation.
When those people heard this, they frowned, and the four of them were also lost and wanted to get out of this forest. I finally met a person, I don't want this person to know, and I also want to be the oil bottle by my side, which can't help but make the four people unhappy.
"Don't take him with you, he doesn't understand anything, and if he really gets into trouble then, he will definitely hold us back. One of the girls said.
Another disagreed: "It's so dangerous here, it's better for him to follow us, at least we can protect her." If he really doesn't ask, he's likely to die here. ”
The last girl looked at the only man with a look: "Brother Tongwen, what do you say?"
This person named Yao Tongwen thought about it again and again, although he was reluctant in every way, but finally agreed to Wu Zhong: "Come here!"
Wu Zhong was immediately overjoyed, and in order to prevent being discovered, he specially used the Xuanwu Banner to hide his mana fluctuations, so that unless he was a master in the late stage of the transformation of gods, it would be difficult for others to detect that Wu Zhong was a cultivator.
He pretended to stumble and came to the four of them, and hurriedly said, "Thank you handsome guys and beauties, thank you so much." ”
Several beauties saw that Wu Zhong looked pretty good, and most of their original reluctance suddenly dissipated. And Yao Tongwen was unhappy when he saw this situation, and he didn't want to be robbed of the limelight by this person. However, although he was unhappy, he still instructed Wu Zhong: "Be careful, this area is very dangerous, don't cause trouble." ”
Wu Zhong hurriedly agreed: "It must be!" It seems that the days of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger have begun! But unfortunately, he can't eat a big tiger, and at the same time, he is happy that he is not a real pig.
