Chapter 163: Meeting the Dead Again
After hearing Lingtong say that he had to open up one hundred and eight nodes in his body in order to form a star map that ran through the meridians of his body, Zhang Ling was not discouraged, but more excited, with goals and motivation, his cultivation path would become more and more exciting.
And he also knew very well that with the blessing of the spiritual power of this star map, every time he was promoted to a realm in the future, the skill he improved would increase exponentially, which was a great opportunity for him, and he must hold it tightly in his hands.
"Boy, if you want this Star Essence Diagram in your body to be extremely strong, there is another way, but the same difficulty is also huge, are you interested?" Ling Tong looked at Zhang Ling's excited and confident appearance, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"What way?" Suddenly hearing the spirit child of the dantian speak again, Zhang Ling asked curiously.
"The aura you just absorbed contains the power of time and space, if you collect the aura of the power of the five elements in the future, and then refine the aura that contains various laws in this world, and finally merge it into a unique star map, and then gradually improve the realm with such a foundation, then you will become a difficult existence for others to match. ”
"Really?" Zhang Ling was excited when he heard this.
"But if you want to reach this level, it's not a day's work, with your current strength, it's better to think about how to improve your realm first. Lingtong looked at Zhang Ling's excited appearance and couldn't help but pour a plate of cold water on him.
"I know this, senior, don't worry, I, Zhang Ling, am not the kind of person who has no self-knowledge, I will come step by step, now that the sky is bright, I should go to them. ”
After listening to what Lingtong said, Zhang Ling smiled knowingly, he knew very well in his heart, although he was very confident in his cultivation, but he was still clear about how many catties and taels he had, as far as the current situation was concerned, Zhang Ling still had to hurry up to reach the Void Realm, and the matter of the Xingyun Diagram could only be taken slowly, not greedy.
And after a night of cultivation, now the morning light has shone on the lake, according to yesterday's agreement, Zhang Ling is going to the palace to pick up Zhao Yan and Yanyun at this moment.
Walking all the way with the sword, Zhang Ling soon came to the royal city, he looked down from mid-air, and saw that the two of them were already waiting above the city gate.
"Are you all ready?" Zhang Ling landed on top of the city pass, looked at Zhao Yan and Yanyun in front of him, and asked seriously.
"Yes, Brother Zhang, Yanyun and I are ready, and there is a girl who will also enter Shumen with Yanyun. ”
At this time, Zhao Yan had already taken off Zhang Ling's face before and changed it to his original face, he looked at Zhang Ling who was walking towards him, and said firmly.
"What?
"Yes, that girl. Zhao Yan said and pointed behind Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling looked behind him when he heard the sound, and saw a girl wearing a monastic suit slowly walking in front of him.
"This is the Zhang Shaoxia that the sixth prince said, I am Mo Yuhan, please ask the young man to bring me and the girl of Yanyun into Shumen together. ”
"You ......" Zhang Ling thought of the woman he saw on the street yesterday when he saw this girl, and he felt very familiar at the time, but now when he walked in front of him, he slowly recognized her.
She was the girl from a good family who was insulted by the Pure Yang Sect gangsters in Qingping County and was rescued by Zhang Ling, but he never expected to meet him in the Shu Dynasty.
"It turns out that your name is Yuhan. Zhang Ling took a closer look at the girl, and after confirming that she was not mistaken, she muttered in her mouth.
"Shaoxia knew me before?" Yu Han saw the expression on Zhang Ling's face, as if he was an old acquaintance with himself.
"No, no, it's the first time I've met the girl. Zhang Ling was afraid of revealing his stuffing, so he hurriedly smiled and covered it up.
"Brother Zhao, didn't I say before that I would only take you to Shumen, why do you still want to take them?" Zhang Ling suddenly remembered what was going on, so he looked at Zhao Yan and asked puzzledly.
"This ......" Seeing Zhang Ling suddenly ask, Brother Zhao's face was a little embarrassed, and he looked at Yanyun from time to time.
"Yanyun, is it your idea?" Zhang Ling guessed nine times out of ten when he saw this scene, and asked Yanyun.
Yanyun looked at Zhao Yan, who was embarrassed, and plucked up the courage to say: "Zhang Shaoxia, you are my benefactor and Zhao Yan's benefactor, but I really don't want to be separated from Zhao Yan, since he wants to cultivate, I will accompany him, I heard that Shumen does not have a rule of not accepting female disciples, even if I can't cultivate, it's good to be by his side!"
Zhang Ling saw that Yanyun's resolute expression was not like a temporary rise, so he sighed helplessly, "Yanyun girl, do you know how difficult it is to cultivate?
"Sure!" Yan Yun grabbed Zhao Yan's hand tightly and nodded.
"Brother Zhang, I have already spoken to my father, and he agreed, so you can let her go with me. Zhao Yan was embarrassed to say it, but now he has to say it if he doesn't say it.
"That's it, since you have made up your mind, then go, it's just that this girl ......" Seeing that Zhao Yan and Yanyun were so determined, Zhang Ling really had no choice, so he had to shake his head helplessly, seeing that when he looked at the Yuhan girl, he was still a little hesitant.
"Oh, this is a friend I met yesterday, she came from Daduanchao on purpose, I heard that she has been walking for several months, in order to be able to enter Shumen, Engong, do you think you should also bring her?"
Yanyun saw that Zhang Ling was puzzled, so he hurriedly pulled Yuhan aside and introduced Zhang Ling enthusiastically.
It seems that Zhang Ling can be sure that she has not recognized the wrong person, but why did she come to the Shu Dynasty?
"Girl, can you tell me the reason why you want to enter Shumen?" Zhang Ling put his eyes on Yuhan again, it can be seen that she has lost a lot of weight than last time, it seems that she has traveled for so long and crossed the territory of a dynasty, and for her, she has really suffered a lot.
"I ......" Yanyun looked at Zhang Ling's eyes, but he couldn't answer.
"Well, I asked her last night, and she didn't want to say it. Yanyun could only shake his head helplessly at this time.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling walked in front of Yanyun and looked directly into her eyes, "Girl, you have to tell me the real reason, and I can take you in later." ”
"I... I am for the sake of an admirer, but as a cultivator, I am afraid that in my future destiny, there will be no day to see each other again, so I can only give up my earthly life and step into the door of monasticism, so that maybe there will be a day to meet in the future. Yuhan saw that he couldn't avoid it, so he calmly said the reason.
"Yuhan, what's the name of the person you like?" Yanyun really wanted to know who that man was at this time.
"I don't know very well, but listening to rumors in the rivers and lakes, his real name seems to be Zhang Ling. Yuhan recalled carefully.
As soon as he heard the word Zhang Ling, not only Zhang Ling himself, but even Zhao Yan and Yanyun next to him were stunned, and looked at Zhang Ling with their mouths wide open, with an incredible expression.
Yanyun almost couldn't help but tell Yuhan the truth, but was dragged by Zhao Yan, and then Zhang Ling also shook his head at her, gave her a look, and motioned her not to say it.
"The girl is very affectionate, but is it really worth it for you to give up your old life and stay away from your biological parents? Have you ever thought that you may never see him in your life?"
Zhang Lingqiang suppressed the shock in his heart and persuaded Yuhan again, he really hoped that this girl could return to her original life.
"Even if I can't see him, I don't want to live a mediocre life for the rest of my life, cultivating the Tao is also a good way to live, even if I can't see him for the rest of my life, then living the same lifestyle as him is the only choice I can choose. ”
Yuhan looked directly into Zhang Ling's eyes and said what was in his heart word by word, which actually moved Zhang Ling a little. But after all, she was just a weak woman in the world, and he still didn't want her to step into the threshold of cultivation, which had no way back.
"Okay, girl, since you want to enter the Shumen Cultivation Dao, then you must pass my test. ”
"What test?" Yuhan asked eagerly when he heard Zhang Ling change his words and knew that things had taken a turn for the better.
"This city pass is about ten zhang high, if the girl dares to jump from here, even if she passes the test, but I have to tell the girl in advance, whether I will save the girl, but it is unknown, so girl, before you jump, you have to think about it?"
Zhang Ling deliberately gave this Yuhan a problem, in order to let her retreat.
"I hope the young man won't go back on his word!"
But he seemed to have underestimated this Mo Yuhan, as soon as Zhang Ling's words fell, she left a sentence and immediately ran towards the wall, Yanyun didn't stretch out her hand, and watched her fall from the wall.
Zhang Ling naturally couldn't see death and couldn't be saved, just when Yuhan was about to fall to the bottom, Zhang Ling suddenly appeared under the city wall, and a true qi roared out, catching her steadily.
Mo Yuhan landed slowly under the support of Zhang Ling's true qi, and his eyes were full of incredulity.
"Girl, are you okay, why are you so stupid? I just said that to make the girl retreat, but I didn't expect you to really jump down. Zhang Ling walked up to Yuhan and said apologetically.
"Since you want to cultivate the Dao, you must always keep a heart to die, how can a person who is greedy for life cultivate a good Dao heart? I think he will definitely not only cultivate the Tao for himself, but also think about helping the world, even if I will never see him again in this life, I will be very satisfied to be able to do the same thing with him. ”
After Yuhan was rescued by Zhang Ling, he first thanked him, and then calmly said what he thought in his heart.
"I can't imagine that your kid has such a good fortune, there is such a woman who is devoted to you, this woman has a deep fate, since God let her come here, why don't you follow the way of heaven and bring her into Shumen?" Lingtong had been observing all this, and finally couldn't help but speak at this time.
After listening to what Lingtong said, Zhang Ling also felt that it was very reasonable, so he walked to Yuhan's side with a smile, "Girl, you have passed the test, come, I will take you up." ”
Zhang Ling stretched out his right hand towards Yuhan, and Yuhan also put his hand on Zhang Ling's palm, and then Zhang Ling jumped up and brought her back to the city gate again.
"Miss Yuhan, you scared me, are you really jumping?" Seeing that Yuhan was brought up by Zhang Ling, Yanyun hurriedly went up and said with concern.
However, in the face of Yanyun's question, Yuhan did not respond, but walked straight to Zhang Ling: "Dare to ask Shaoxia, did you just say that I passed the test? Does it mean that I can enter Shumen?"
"Yes, I can take you in, but whether Shumen accepts it or not depends on their opinion. ”
"Thank you Shaoxia, but before that, I still have a question I want to ask Shaoxia, I don't know if you know Zhang Ling?" Yanyun seemed to see the clues from some of Zhang Ling's actions under the city gate just now, and she had too many questions at this time.
"I've heard of Zhang Ling, but I've never seen him, why does the girl ask that?" Zhang Ling was a little panicked, he felt that this Yuhan seemed to recognize him. If he really recognizes him, it will be difficult for him to get out.
"Oh, I heard Miss Yanyun say last night that you changed into the appearance of the sixth prince because of your righteous deeds, and just now I heard the voice of the young man and the moves used to save me are very similar to the Zhang Ling I know, and it just so happens that you are also surnamed Zhang, so I want to ask. ”
Yuhan's eyes seemed to have a glimmer of light when she looked at Zhang Ling at this time, she always felt that the person in front of her was very familiar, but she couldn't say why.
When Zhao Yan and Yanyun heard her say this, they immediately lied wittily to Zhang Lingyuan, "Engong's surname is Zhang Mingmu, and the moves made by cultivators should be similar, I think this Yuhan girl should have recognized the wrong person." ”
"Yes, yes, Sister Yuhan, Engong, his name is indeed Zhang Mu, and he is indeed not the Zhang Ling you know. Seeing that Zhao Yan was so clever, Yanyun hurriedly stepped forward and echoed, and the two cooperated seamlessly.
"Aren't you really him?" Yuhan looked directly into Zhang Ling's eyes, there was a trace of tears in her eyes, and she was waiting for his answer.
"Miss Yuhan, I'm really not him. Zhang Ling forcibly calmed his mind at this moment, and said without changing his face.
When Yuhan heard his answer, he seemed to be really dead, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, it seems that I was reckless, please don't mind Shaoxia." ”
"No, it's almost time now, I'll take the three of them to Shumen!" Zhang Ling didn't dare to look directly into Yuhan's eyes, after all, he lied, although it was a white lie.
Most of the people who have crossed paths with Zhang Ling will be hurt to a greater or lesser extent, so he is respectful of many people, he likes to make friends, but he is afraid of making friends.
