Chapter 136: Choosing to Compromise
Wufu Palace, Qianling Palace, two people.
"Senior brother, why are you telling me these things?"
"If I only have a few friends I can trust, you're one of them. Zhang Ling looked at Yiqing's eyes and said sincerely.
Yiqing was very moved when she heard Zhang Ling's answer, she was thinking that with his words, everything she had done for him before was worth it.
"Then do we want to believe in that dustless? After all, his origin is unknown. After getting Zhang Ling's affirmation, Yiqing said a little worriedly.
In fact, Zhang Ling is also worried, after all, this is related to the safety of the entire Wufu Cliff, if the belief is wrong, the Wuchen will bring the Wufu Cliff into a situation from which it will never recover.
But I don't know why, in Zhang Ling's heart, there has always been a voice constantly telling him that he must choose to believe in the dustless.
Zhang Ling took the bag in his hand and made the final decision, "Senior sister, I will first hide this bag in a place where no one can find it, and after three years, I will take it out, whether we should believe in that dustless or not, we all have to strengthen ourselves quickly in these three years, this is what we can decide, isn't it?"
"Senior brother is right, no matter how senior brother chooses, I will definitely stand on my brother's side and advance and retreat with you!"
Yiqing knew that Zhang Ling had already paid attention, so he no longer dissuaded him. She chose to believe Zhang Ling unconditionally, just because of her intuition in her heart, and she didn't need any reason at all.
Zhang Ling saw that Yiqing trusted him so much, and his heart was also moved, "Senior Sister Yiqing, it's late at night, you better go back to the dojo to rest first, maybe one day the master will have various tasks down, and you won't be able to cope with it when the time comes." ”
"Then the senior brother also rests early. Yiqing understood that Zhang Ling wanted to stay alone for a while, so he retreated.
When leaving, Yiqing looked up at the newly erected plaque on the palace, and saw only three words on the Qianling Palace. I vaguely felt that this senior brother of hers seemed to be determined to bring all the conspiracies to the surface.
"Master, the apprentice calls this palace the Qianling Palace, do you like it? Don't worry, I will definitely make those people pay the price they deserve, even if it is for me to die. ”
After Yiqing left, Zhang Ling came to the outside of the hall alone, looking at the plaque in his handwriting, his eyes were full of anger, and this anger would one day make those evil villains have nothing to hide.
However, after a short period of anger, Zhang Ling gradually calmed down, he knew very well that now for him, the most important thing was to improve his cultivation quickly, otherwise no matter how great the hatred was, he would not be able to repay it, so he returned to the hall and took out a book about the rules and how to cultivate that every disciple would receive.
To put it simply, it is a booklet, which concisely talks about the division of the realm, the level of magic weapons, how to refine the best elixir, how to obtain the spirit stone elixir, the explanation of the level of the void plane, any high-level resources of the sect obtained by virtue of contributions, and even the life deeds of the nine elders, the three major divine envoys, and the current head of the sect are recorded in the book.
This is simply an encyclopedia about the Wufu Cliff, most of which Zhang Ling knows, and what he is most interested in now is how to obtain high-level resources by doing sect tasks, because only by obtaining high-level resources can his realm and cultivation be rapidly improved.
And in this book, there is a detailed record of this aspect, the original want to obtain the resources of the sect, roughly divided into three ways, the first way is to do a variety of tasks promulgated by the sect, in which the difficulty of the task is high and low, according to the difficulty and then give the person who completes the task the corresponding resources.
The second way is to go to the void plane to adventure, where there are all kinds of heavenly treasures, spirit beasts and monsters, sometimes you can even encounter miracles, it is not impossible to get the inheritance of a certain power, if you are lucky, maybe overnight, you can become a supreme powerhouse.
But this method is also extremely dangerous, even if the disciples reach the Void Realm through cultivation, the elders will not encourage them to go to the Void for adventure, because the probability of never going back is too great.
And the last way is to become the true disciple of the three great divine envoys, at this time, as long as it is the resource you want, and with the consent of the master, it will be unconditionally taken out for you to use, this way seems to be no danger, but the difficulty is the greatest, because if you want to become a true disciple of the cliff, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
The only chance is the sect assessment after three years, if the performance is excellent, it is likely to be favored by the three major divine envoys and become the true disciple of Wuyu Cliff.
As for Zhang Ling's current situation, I'm afraid he can only take on various sect tasks, although he won't get too precious resources, it's better than nothing.
Zhang Ling knew very well that with the little resources assigned by the sect every month, in three years, there was zero hope of his cultivation reaching the Void Realm.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ling decided to go to Xia Luan, Xia Feng and Yiqing the next day, and now he can only find these friends to form a team.
Yiqing is naturally willing to team up with Zhang Ling, but he doesn't know if Xia Luan and Xia Feng are willing, after all, although the two of them have no ill will towards Zhang Ling, they are not so close.
Early the next morning, Zhang Ling took Yiqing to Xia Luan Xia Feng's palace, and the two of them actually practiced in a palace, which made Zhang Ling a little surprised.
As soon as they arrived outside the main hall, Zhang Ling listened to their discussion in the hall with a keen sense of hearing, at first they were discussing how glorious and majestic they were when they returned to the Xia Dynasty, especially Xia Luan, from her words, it can be heard that she has received a lot of worship and awe on her trip back to the dynasty this month, and what makes her most happy is that she has given them a long face for the dynasty, and no one will dare to invade the land of the Xia Dynasty in the future.
But later their exchange made Zhang Ling's brows tighten, but even after hearing those words, Zhang Ling still did not leave, and was still waiting outside the main hall.
"Senior Brother Zhao, you're here, we have something to welcome, let's go in and talk about something. It was Xia Feng who came out, and he politely beckoned Zhang Ling into the hall, but he didn't know why Xia Luan didn't come out.
"What about Princess Xia Luan?" Knowing the reason, Zhang Ling still asked politely.
"Well, Xia Luan, she has been trekking back and forth for a month, and she is a little unwell, Senior Brother Zhao, let's go first. Xia Feng's expression was slightly embarrassed, and there was even a hint of dodging.
Zhang Ling naturally knew the reason, waved his hand and said: "Brother Xia, I won't go in to disturb Senior Sister Xia's rest, I came today, mainly to invite the two of you to join my team, so that if we take over the sect task in the future, we will also take care of each other." ”
Xia Feng was already embarrassed, but now that Zhang Ling said it so straightforwardly, he didn't know how to speak for a while.
"Senior Brother Xia, is there anything you can't say? Senior Brother personally came to invite you to help, aren't you willing to give this face?"
Yi Qing looked at Xia Feng's embarrassed expression, and said bluntly.
"Senior Brother Xia, just say what you have directly, although I am a senior brother, I will not force you to do anything. Zhang Ling patted Xia Feng on the shoulder, signaling that he didn't have to be too embarrassed, there was something unspeakable to say directly.
Unexpectedly, Xia Feng at this moment suddenly knelt down on one knee, "Senior Brother Zhao, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's Xia Luan, it's Xia Luan..."
"Is it that Mu Chen and Yan Qing are looking for you?" Zhang Ling saw Xia Feng behaving like this, and guessed nine times out of ten.
Seeing that Xia Feng was embarrassed to answer, Zhang Ling helped him up and said calmly: "Among the five dynasties in Kyushu, the Duan Dynasty and the Sheng Dynasty are the most powerful, one monopolizes the five states, and the other has the most fertile land and war horses in the east, neither of these two dynasties can be provoked by the Xia Dynasty." And now that I have made enemies with Mu Chen and Yan Qing, if you stand on my side, they will threaten the Xia Dynasty, right?"
"Xia Luan is also helpless, she is just for her father, her father is old, and the entire Xia Dynasty can only rely on her to support, so, at this critical moment, she must not make enemies, and I hope that my senior brother will understand. ”
Xia Feng seemed to feel very guilty in his heart, Zhang Ling could see that Xia Feng was still very righteous, but because of his feelings for Xia Luan, he could only choose to compromise.
"It's okay, Senior Brother Xia, since that's the case, then we'll go first, bother. ”
Zhang Ling actually knew the ending at the beginning, and the reason why he didn't choose to leave was to see if there was a turning point, but unfortunately he didn't.
But not long after Zhang Ling left, the voices of Mu Chen and Yan Qing came to the door behind him, and in addition to them, there was also the voice of Princess Xia Luan's warm welcome.
"This Xia Luan, it's really interests first, and there is no distinction between good and evil. It's okay if you don't make this kind of friend, senior brother, don't worry, even if there is no them, and me, I will always be by your side. Yi Qing glanced back at Xia Luan, and was a little angry between his words.
Fortunately, she is not Yu'er, otherwise if she knew that Zhang Ling had not only let them go, but also gave them a no-false order, and even helped them in the Three Tribulations World, then Yiqing would definitely be so angry that she rushed back to find Xia Luan's theory.
"Senior Sister Yiqing, it's understandable that they don't want to follow me, just let them go, everyone's path is their own choice, I hope they can get their wish, we just need to be ourselves, not to mention that there are still you? ”
There was a hint of disappointment on Zhang Ling's face, but he still tried his best to squeeze out a smile and express his gratitude to Yiqing.
However, in his heart, which was invisible to outsiders, he was somewhat devastated, and he asked himself if he was good to those two, but why did they choose to help their opponents at the critical moment? Is it just for their own interests? Is the friendship between friends so worthless and so untested?
Or is it that in this world where the strong are respected, everything is for the sake of becoming strong and profitable, and there has never been any affection? At this moment, in Zhang Ling's heart, the belief that has not changed has been shaken in the slightest.
After separating from Yiqing, Zhang Ling returned to his Qianling Hall alone.
At this moment, the Qianling Hall is empty, and he can only hear his own footsteps back and forth, for seven years, he has never been lonely like this for a moment, in the process of pursuing Wufu Cliff, at least there is a belief, he met Murong Xue and Yu'er, and at least had a companion, and now he has arrived at Wufu Cliff and has become the leader of the big test, but he is so lonely and anxious.
When will I find Xiaoxue? How will I avenge my master's revenge? How can I improve my realm by myself?
All of this really overwhelmed him, and just like that, he fell asleep on the table before he knew it. In years, he hadn't slept like he had now.
And tonight, he had the dream that haunted him for many years, in the dream, he went from an ordinary teenager to hardships, gained countless opportunities, worked hard to cultivate, and finally became an immortal, but in the end he lost his original intention, gave up the person who had always loved him in the mortal world, and finally cultivated to the supreme immortal venerable, but at the last moment, he died and turned into mortal dust.
When he was a child, every time he had this dream, he would wake up from the dream, but this time he didn't, he didn't wake up, but shed a tear.
And the tears dripped onto the table, and there was a strange scene, but Zhang Ling didn't see it.
He couldn't even notice that in his dantian, after five years, that magical baby had quietly appeared again.
