"Do you know the fifth princess of the Dragon Clan?" Shan Zun was suddenly a little surprised.

"That's right, it was the five princesses who brought me into the Shenlong clan in the first place. Zhang Ling said truthfully.

"Then I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think. ”

"What do you say?" Zhang Ling also realized that something was wrong, and now looking at Shanzun's surprised expression, he was even more suspicious.

"The fifth princess Long Yun is a perverse person, she often comes to this dragon cave to catch some demon clans, as her pastime, sometimes even a dissatisfaction with the killing of many demon clans, this is a place for her to have fun. ”

"How can there be such a thing?" Zhang Ling recalled everything that happened in the Shenlong Cave a few years ago, at that time, Long Yun was very friendly to him and Yu'er, and even saved his own life, and now listening to Shanzun's words, he is basically a person with two personalities.

Shanzun noticed the change in Zhang Ling's expression, so he reminded her, "If what you said is true, then you have to be careful of this fifth princess in the future, she is a person who is not easy to mess with." ”

"She and the Dragon King are so kind to bring you to this Divine Dragon Cave Heaven, I think there must be other purposes, although I am very friendly to you now, it does not mean that I will not use you in the future, I know that you are innocent in nature, but every living being born in the Six Realms is involuntarily, or tricked by fate, or tempted by power, maybe it is your friend one moment, and it may be your enemy next time you see it." Keep an eye on yourself and leave yourself a way out. ”

"Then what are you helping me for several times?" Zhang Ling looked at Shanzun, who wanted to stop talking, and asked calmly.

"Well, maybe I have my own selfish intentions. After all, although my cultivation is not low, I am still too weak compared to those great powers of the Six Realms, and if I want to leave this ghost place, I can't let go of the slightest possibility. ”

"Actually, a few years ago, you suddenly broke into the Divine Dragon Cave Heaven, I felt strange, this Divine Dragon Secret Realm, there have been no living people thousands of years ago, how did you kid come in? ”

Shanzun now takes a closer look at Zhang Ling and finds that although his appearance has changed, his temperament is still very similar to that former friend.

"Is it any good for you to get close to me?" Zhang Ling still felt puzzled.

"Maybe you're the only hope that we demons and humans can get. Shanzun glanced at Zhang Ling deeply and said excitedly.

But these words made Zhang Ling very confused, "Can I let you out? How is it possible? I think you bet on the wrong treasure!"

"I believe in my intuition, and I believe that after many years, the day you and I see each other again will be the day when my mountain venerable will go out!"

"Why are you so confident in me? I don't have so much confidence in myself, you can't get out of this secret realm even a true immortal-level character, you expect me to be a person who transforms into a god realm?"

Zhang Ling didn't take Shanzun's words to heart anyway, and teased vigorously.

"No matter how much you don't believe it, I believe that my instincts must be right, and you don't bother to think about it yourself, recalling all the things you have experienced before, is it really something that a mortal can meet?"

In the face of Zhang Ling's ridicule, Shanzun didn't care very much, but threw Zhang Ling a question worth pondering.

When Zhang Ling heard this, he was stunned, and his brain buzzed, as if it touched a string in the depths of his soul, in fact, he sometimes asked himself these questions.

Like what:

Why did his father, who was born in a mountain village, have a book of exercises for cultivating immortals?

Why was he taken to practice by the Immortal Cultivation Academy's Wisdom Bead when he was a child?

Why do you want to find the cliff of innocence?

Why did she meet Murong Xue, and then suddenly separated, and why was she captured by the white fox?

Why did he fall off the cliff and not die, but was saved by the Condor?

Why did he meet the ape, take him to the Lingyang Secret Realm, and then meet Yu'er, who is a red lotus demon spirit?

Why would those six artifacts be used so handy?

Why does Yu'er always say that her mission is to protect him? A thousand-year-old demon spirit would willingly follow him all the time?

Why did Wuchen try to get the top spot so smoothly? Why did Wuchen help himself?

Why did Long Yun and the Dragon King appreciate themselves and let themselves come to the Divine Dragon Cave Heaven again and again?

These questions popped into his mind, and for a moment he couldn't think of an answer.

"How is it? Don't you think it's weird? It's incredible?" Shanzun looked at Zhang Ling's painful and thoughtful expression and smiled lightly.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence......"

"Coincidence? Let me tell you, there have never been coincidences in this world, and all the coincidences you think are actually fate, because that is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, and it is also fate, no one can change it, unless one day, you can be above the Heavenly Dao, you can change all this. Seeing Zhang Ling comforting himself, Shanzun shook his head and continued.

"Heavenly Dao, then is it also the Heavenly Dao that so many of you are trapped here?" Zhang Ling was confused in his heart, hoping that Shanzun could give him an answer.

"Yes, whether it is the Shenlong clan that brought us here, or other behind-the-scenes manipulators, it is all due to the way of heaven, even if none of us escape in the future, it will all end up in ashes, it is also fate, and no one can change it. ”

Shanzun said this, there was some sadness, he has been here for thousands of years, he has cultivated from a void immortal to a true immortal, but he still can't escape from this divine dragon cave, he can only wait for the arrangement of fate, this kind of torment, this loneliness, this kind of inexplicable fear, I'm afraid only he can understand.

"If I am really the person you say can help you, I can promise you that I will definitely get you out of trouble, whether you are good or evil, and the person behind the scenes has no right to keep you trapped here. ”

Seeing Shanzun's fleeting loss, Zhang Ling suddenly said very solemnly, his eyes were extremely firm, as if he had given Shanzun a comfort that was not comforting.

"Okay, now that I know everything I want to know, it's time for me to go, you... Take care, and hopefully the next goodbye day will be the day you go out. ”

"Well, I'm looking forward to that day. Shanzun looked at Zhang Ling's departing back and whispered.

Bidding farewell to Shanzun, Zhang Ling at this moment, his heart was extremely heavy, he felt as if from this moment on, he had to re-understand the world, who is good and who is evil, who is true and who is false, it seems that it is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"The mountain venerable you just saw is indeed very profound, and I don't think he needs to lie to you. ”

"The predecessor said, I really have to be careful of the Shenlong clan, but I feel that the fifth princess has no ill will towards me, she has also helped me wash the marrow and refine my bones before. Zhang Ling frowned when he heard the spirit boy's reminder.

"Don't be too simple, your current realm is too low, and you can't meet the standards of others to use it, and when one day your realm is high, if you haven't noticed people's predictions, then you will be doomed. ”

Seeing that Zhang Ling was still speaking for Long Yun, Ling Tong could only shake his head helplessly.

"I don't want to think so much now, the purpose of our coming here is to improve the realm, let's talk about other things later, now that the sky is almost dawning, I am going to the Five Immortals Alliance to pick up Yuanren, since I promised them, I can't be untrustworthy." ”

Zhang Ling's sword flew, and when he saw that the sky was already bright, he accelerated his speed and flew straight in the direction of the Five Immortals Alliance.

In a mountain forest outside the Five Immortals League, there is a stone cave, and there are two people cultivating in the stone cave, that is, Zhang Ling and Yuan Ren.

"I don't know what the specific exercises you are cultivating, I can only pass on some of my spiritual energy to you first, can you see if you can refine some?" Zhang Ling looked at Yun Ren who was sitting cross-legged and said seriously.

"Okay, thank you Brother Zhang. ”

Zhang Ling saw that the other party was also ready, so he triggered the true qi in his body to be emitted outside his body, and then saw if Yuan Ren could absorb and refine it.

But when those auras just came into contact with Yuan Ren's body, they were like encountering an enemy, and they were running around, even wanting to attack Yuan Ren.

"No, these auras didn't recognize you, I don't want to be refined by you, in order to avoid accidentally hurting you, I can only collect them. When Zhang Ling saw this scene, he naturally knew what the reason was, and hurriedly used his skills to bring the aura back into his body.

The first method was unsuccessful, Zhang Ling could only find another way, but his six artifacts and god-level exercises were impossible to hand over to him, because the temptation of these things was actually too great, and unnecessary trouble was not avoided, and Zhang Ling was still unwilling to show all of himself in front of people.

"I have a few Xuan-level exercises here, see if they can help you, success or failure can only depend on your own talent, and I can only do this. ”

Zhang Ling pointed a finger at Yuan Ren's forehead, then closed his eyes, and used his spiritual sense to transmit the essence of these exercises to his mind.

After a stick of incense, Zhang Ling finally finished his transmission, but he was also tired and sweaty and out of breath.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang, I will definitely practice diligently after I go back. Yuan Ren, who had obtained the Xuan-level exercises, was also excited, because he could clearly feel the subtleties of these exercises, and he couldn't wait to go back to practice.

"Okay, then you will cultivate on your own in the next few days, and after seven days, you will come here again. Zhang Ling saw Yuan Ren with excited eyes and explained seriously.

Seeing Yuanren leave, Zhang Ling sat down and breathed down to recover his lost vitality.

"Why do you say that you kid is so kind, a few Xuan-level exercises have been given away like this? If you help him like this, he may not appreciate it in the future. ”

Seeing Zhang Ling so generous, the spirit child of the dantian was a little unaccustomed to it, and shook his head and sighed.

"Senior, I helped him today, it is indeed a great opportunity for him, but I have come all the way, why haven't I encountered opportunities again and again, and received help from others again and again?

"This ......," Ling Tong didn't seem to be able to find anything to refute.

"Moreover, I helped him fulfill my promise, just to help him avoid heavenly punishment, but if I see him doing evil with my exercises in the future, I will still abolish him with my own hands!"

"Okay, you won......" Lingtong listened to Zhang Ling's words and was convinced.
