Chapter 278: An Agreement Reached
"You mean your confidant who was captured by the fox demon?"
"Do you know this?" Zhang Ling was very puzzled and looked at Mu Chen suspiciously.
Seeing this, Mu Chen smiled calmly and continued to explain, "This matter Mu Youzi's predecessor once told me, he said that he didn't take action to stop the white fox mainly considering two points, first, he is only responsible for helping you solve the demon that is secretly staring at you, as for the demon you took the initiative to provoke, it is inconvenient for him to show up to save you, and at the same time he wants to see how much potential you have.
Second, because the city of ten thousand demons is the place where the demons gather, they have been exploring the whereabouts of the monks outside the square for many years, if they know the specific location of the outside of the place, then the more powerful big demon may go to the place outside the square and fight with the monks there, so the senior of Mu Youzi also took this into account, so he did not show up.
However, he saw the scene where you broke through the Transformation Realm and killed the fox demon clone, and said that your potential is huge, and you are a rare cultivation wizard. ”
"I see. ”
After listening to what Wuchen said, Zhang Ling nodded slightly, "Then are you willing to go with me to the City of Ten Thousand Demons and rescue Murong Xue?"
"No one knows the specific location of that place in the City of Ten Thousand Demons, and it is equivalent to the group force planted in the human world by the demon world, and there are also many high-level demons in it, just relying on the two of us, it will be difficult to rescue your friend. ”
Wuchen knew that Zhang Ling was testing his sincerity, but he finally told the truth.
Seeing Wuchen's embarrassed face, Zhang Ling also seemed to feel excusable, so he no longer insisted and said, "Since this is the case, then I will go to explore the truth first, if I really find the location of the City of Ten Thousand Demons, and investigate clearly, and feel that I am sure enough to rescue Murong Xue, I will inform you, what do you think?"
"In this way, I will go to help you, this is a string of Buddhist beads, you hold it, it is a magic weapon, engraved with the use of the heart method, and you can also contact me through it, then I will wait for your news in the Yunkong Temple?"
Wuchen felt that Zhang Ling's suggestion was acceptable, so he calmly agreed, and then took the Buddhist beads in his hand and handed them to Zhang Ling as a future contact between them.
"Okay, I'll take this Buddha bead, if you can help me rescue Murong Xue in the future, I will promise to help you in a hundred years. ”
Zhang Ling accepted the Buddha beads, and said goodbye to Wuchen, Wuchen didn't keep much, after all, he knew that Zhang Ling was such a character, and the people he wanted to save, even if the possibility of successfully rescuing them was very small, he had to give it a try.
And the reason why Wuchen didn't agree to go with Zhang Ling to find the City of Ten Thousand Demons at this time was because he took into account that the situation in Yunkong Temple at the moment did not allow him to leave immediately, after all, there was still a certain gap between his uncle's cultivation and the abbot of Yunkong Temple, and he had to wait until his uncle's cultivation was improved before he could leave Yunkong Temple with confidence.
Seeing Zhang Ling's resolute departure of the imperial sword, Wuchen also sighed in his heart, in fact, he still admired Zhang Ling very much in his heart, you must know that in the entire cultivation world, there are very few people like Zhang Ling who are happy to enmity and hatred, after all, many monks cultivate in order to make themselves immortal or one day to be able to ascend to the Dao, and they don't really have the world in mind, let alone take great risks like Zhang Ling to save Murong Xue.
That place in the City of Ten Thousand Demons is extremely sinister, and the slightest carelessness may be the end of death, Zhang Lingneng resolutely went forward, and did not force Wuchen to go with him, this courage and mind are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Zhang Ling, I'm waiting for your news in the Cloud Sky Temple, I hope you can get what you want, if you are really the key person in the Six Realms Tribulation, I Wuchen also want to see how far you can grow in the future?"
Looking at Zhang Ling's figure that gradually disappeared in the clouds on the top of the mountain, Wuchen muttered.
"Senior brother, Uncle Shi said that he was looking for you for something, and he was waiting for you in the Lock Demon Tower. ”
Just as Wuchen was about to return to the main hall, the communication of a junior disciple behind him made him frown slightly.
"Uncle Shi is waiting for me in the Lock Demon Tower?"
Wuchen had doubts in his heart for a while, but in the end he took a step and walked in the direction of the Lock Demon Tower, because he had a premonition that Uncle Shi suddenly called him and maybe it had something to do with Zhang Ling.
The lock demon tower is located in a partial peak behind the Yunkong Temple, although there is a high monk's formation suppression, but from a distance, it is still full of demonic energy, so few people usually set foot in it, and the abbot has also issued a ban without his permission, and no one is allowed to approach the lock demon tower.
"Uncle Zhuxin, what are you looking for me?"
Wuchen came to the top of the mountain peak, and looked at the top of the Lock Demon Tower, which was extremely demonic, suppressed by a circular golden magic circle, and there seemed to be some demonic grievances in the nine-story Lock Demon Tower, and his heart was also fluctuating.
"Wuchen, are you here? That Zhang Ling has already left?"
Hearing Wuchen answer behind him, an old man with a pale face and a long white beard but extremely bright eyes turned back to Wuchen and asked.
Obviously, this old monk is Wuchen's uncle, the junior brother of the host of Yunkong Temple.
"Yes, Uncle Zhuxin, he is already gone, why did you suddenly call me to this lock demon tower?"
Wuchen saw that Xuxin turned to face him, with a smile on his face, and replied truthfully.
"If he is really the key figure of the Six Realms Tribulation, our Yunkong Temple must become friends with him, this is also the task assigned to me by the presiding senior brother, and your performance today is also very good, even on the premise of telling the truth, it did not cause him to leave angrily, this is commendable. ”
"This may be because I have crossed paths with him before, and I still know something about his character and temperament, and the most important thing is that I did meet him frankly and didn't hide anything, maybe it was because of this that he didn't care, but he also said before leaving, and he wanted me to help him successfully rescue Murong Xue before he was willing to stand on our side. ”
Seeing that Uncle Zhuxin praised himself with a smile, Wuchen bowed his head and replied humbly, without a trace of arrogance, and also said Zhang Ling's conditions by the way.
Zhu Xin saw a trace of worry in Wuchen's eyes, as if he was worried that he would not be able to help Zhang Ling complete the task, so he walked up to him and smiled lightly.
"Wuchen, Uncle Shi knows what you're worried about, that's why he let you come here, you and I both know that it was a white fox who captured Murong Xue back then, but do you know that there is also a white fox in our Yunkong Temple Lock Demon Tower?"
"What? There is a white fox in the Lock Demon Tower? Is there any connection between these two white foxes? Could it be that this is the key to helping Zhang Ling complete the agreement?"
After Wuchen heard Zhu Xin's words, he was overjoyed in his heart, and felt that there was hope for Zhang Ling to rescue Murong Xue, so he asked Zhu Xin with an excited face.
Seeing Wuchen's appearance, Zhu Xin pressed down on his palm, signaling him not to be too surprised, and then continued to say mysteriously, "The white fox in the tower must have a connection with the white fox that captured Murong Xue, but I have another important task to call you here."
You go into the lock demon tower, interrogate the fox demon, and let him tell everything he knows, can you let Zhang Ling stand on our side, this is a key step, I will hand over this important errand to you, don't let me down, now that my senior brother is in retreat, I also have to hurry up and cultivate, so I can only wait for your good news. ”
Zhu Xin whispered his instructions to Wuchen, and finally patted him on the shoulder with high hopes, and then turned to leave, leaving only Wuchen who was in doubt, looking blankly at the lock demon tower in front of him.
"The demons in this lock demon tower are all the monks of Yunkong Temple who have traveled to the world, and the fierce demons and ghosts that have been caught for thousands of years, what is the origin of the white fox?
Wuchen stopped outside the Lock Demon Tower for a moment, and his mind was full of doubts, but in the end, he did not hesitate to enter the Lock Demon Tower for his mission.
At this time, Zhang Ling was on the way back to the Duan Dynasty, and he didn't know where the City of Ten Thousand Demons was, so he only had two plans at the moment, the first was to worship the two old men, one was the fisherman Laosuo, and the other was his ancestor and father, both of whom were his benefactors, without their help, there would be no Zhang Ling today.
And when he learned that the ancestor was his father-in-law, his gratitude to him was even stronger, and the fisherman Lao Su died tragically in order to save him, and this kindness Zhang Ling also remembered in his heart, so these two people must go to worship.
The second plan is to consolidate his cultivation and sort out what he has learned before looking for the City of Ten Thousand Demons, after all, now in him, there are really too many exercises, magic weapons and various powerful means that have not been fully comprehended and digested, he must take some time to take a good look at it, maybe he can improve his cultivation.
So he immediately went to the direction of Qingping County, he was going to worship the fisherman Lao Suo first, and then return to the place where the ancestor taught the art many years ago, and after worshipping the master, he stayed in that place for a while, trying to break through the realm.
Half a month later, Zhang Ling returned to Qingping County again, and returned to the stream that made him feel so emotional, and the two tombs next to the stream were still there, but they were already overgrown with weeds.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling's eyes were slightly red, and with a palm, the weeds around the two tombs were burned by his own hot true qi, and seeing that the benefactor's grave finally seemed no longer so desolate, Zhang Ling felt a little comforted in his heart.
He trembled slightly, clenched his fists, knelt down towards his former benefactor, and said with a firm look in his eyes.
"Senior, you are my benefactor Zhang Ling, but you died tragically in the hands of the gangsters of the Pure Yang Sect in order to save me, it was I who caused you to be burdened, but I know that the culprit is not only the Pure Yang Sect, but also those two mysterious organizations Nets and Shadows, I, Zhang Ling, swear here today that sooner or later I will let these two harmful organizations disappear in Kyushu. ”
