South China Old Immortals?

Zhang Jiao couldn't think of which sage's title was for a while.

Because the reason for the repeated failures in the examination was that he could not answer some obscure knowledge, he dabbled in miscellaneous books extensively, and learned from them how to distinguish herbs, avoid wild beasts, and camp overnight.

According to Zhang Jiao's knowledge, because of the book "Zhuangzi", also known as the classic book of "Nanhua Zhenjing", the Taoist Daxian Zhuang Zhou during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was called "Nanhua Zhenren", and it is reasonable to extend it to "Nanhua Old Immortal", but Zhuangzi naturally would not be a woman, and if she was a descendant of Zhuangzi, she should not mistakenly call "Nanhua" "South China".

Whoop - a wolf howl came, interrupting Zhang Jiao's brief distraction, he arched his hand and said, "This girl ......"

Because there are also many women who comprehend the "peerless" warriors, under their leadership, even the status of ordinary women who only want to teach their husbands and children is rising, although it is still difficult to achieve equality between men and women, but at least women can get involved in some positions that have traditionally been held by men.

However, even so, Zhang Jiao couldn't say "It's getting late, can I go to the girl's house for a night", it was still too abrupt.

"Thanks to the girl's rescue, in the lower horns, the deer people, can you ask the girl to introduce the commander in the next place?" In the end, Zhang Jiao said that he tried several times, but he couldn't connect the "South China Old Immortal" with the young woman in front of him.

"A scholar with a low force value like you can go so far in the mountains...... the woman who called herself the "Old Immortal of South China" looked at Zhang Jiao again, and then turned around with the strange little animal in her arms: "Come with me, although it is an uninvited guest, but if you stay for one night, it is not too much for you to stay." ”

This...... Sounds like there are already more occupants before yourself? Zhang Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, she could take in other travelers, presumably her residence was spacious enough, and she didn't have to worry about being bitten to death by the "Fufu" because she was too close to her.

…… Hey? Bitten to death by "Fufu"? What is this premonition of encountering a natural enemy?

————

The sun has set, the mountains and forests in the distance are dim, and the trembling tigers and wolves howl one after another, but Zhang Jiao, who followed the "South China Old Immortal", did not have the trouble of not being able to see the road under his feet, so his surroundings were no longer "mountains and forests".

The surrounding "trees" are tall and straight, but they have no roots and beards, and when you look closely, you can find that they all hang down from the dense canopy of the high sky, stick straight into the ground, and take deep roots, because the giant trees that have not yet seen the body have enough leaves, these "trunks" naturally do not need to have branches and leaves, and in this "woods", there are many bright flying insects that gather in one place, emitting a bright yellow light, even if it is night, the light is still similar to when it is close to dusk.

"Originally, you could see these lights when you walked some distance further, and then you were attracted to them," said the "South China Old Immortal," "but you were unlucky enough to encounter a wild wolf, and if you hadn't had Fufu, you would have been covered in bruises at this time." ”

"Lots of wolves nearby? Isn't it dangerous for you to live here, Miss Lin? Zhang Jiao thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to be commensurate with the "Lin Hao" mentioned by the "South China Old Immortal" when he introduced himself.

The word "Lin Hao", if analyzed by name, is "a beautiful and kind woman who lives in the forest".

…… Sure enough, it doesn't look like his real name.

"Those wild wolves don't dare to approach this 'fairy forest' on weekdays, and most of the ones you encounter are small groups that chase those hunters here, who dare not come in, and are unwilling to leave." Lin Hao replied.

Orion? Zhang Jiao remembered what he saw on the way to collect medicine, the man with a bow and arrows who had never stopped to look for prey at all, and went straight to the depths of the mountain.

Oh, a reckless person who intends to be like himself, but is not ready to spend the night in the forest, but what is a "fairy forest"?

Zhang Jiaozheng was thinking about it, and then he heard Lin Haoyan say: "It's here." ”

Looking up, it was a huge supertree that was difficult for hundreds of people to embrace, and there were many houses around its roots, including simple thatched houses, some more formal wooden houses, as well as mud tile houses common in Julu County, as well as magnificent stone houses made of white stone.

And where the giant tree is backed, there is a mansion that can be called a manor, with complete pavilions and pavilions, Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum paths, winding water ring corridors, rockery fish ponds, luxurious and magnificent, even the county guard mansion that Zhang Jiao has seen in the county town is far from it.

While sighing, Zhang Jiao was inevitably vigilant, this place is so close to Julu, why haven't he heard rumors about it in ordinary times? If it weren't for the tight-lipped people who came here, this would be the place...... There is in and out.

As if sensing Zhang Jiao's hesitation, Lin Hao suddenly stopped, looked back at him and said, "If I keep following, I'm afraid it will interfere with your judgment, so why don't you observe and judge yourself." ”

Suddenly hearing these headless and tailless words, Zhang Jiao was quite puzzled, and was about to ask, but saw that "Lin Hao" and the "Fufu" in her arms turned into a gust of wind and disappeared at the same time.

————

"Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng! Don't go near those houses! ”

Zhang Jiao was about to go to various houses to investigate, when he suddenly heard someone calling him in the forest, and turned his head to look, but it was a hunter from Julu County, who had several relationships, and his surname was Cheng Yuanzhi.

When he looked again, several unfamiliar hunters sat around him around a campfire, and several of them, as if wounded by wolves, fell on straw mats, crying out in low pain.

"The owner of this place allows us and other lost people to live in a house, but why do they sleep here?" Zhang Jiao approached the bonfire and asked Cheng Yuanzhi.

"If you want to live in that house, it will cost you, and we can't afford it, so we have to live here temporarily, but the huge trees are dense, and it is not considered to be sleeping in the open." Cheng Yuanzhi replied.

"Do you need money?" Zhang Jiao frowned, only feeling that according to the woman's demeanor, it shouldn't be like this.

"Other inns ask for money, but here they are deadly," Cheng Yuanzhi said: "Those houses have door numbers on them, which say 'Entry', 'Simple', 'Ordinary', 'Difficult', and 'Shura'. ”

"Depends on the sophistication of the premises?" Zhang Jiao was thoughtful.

"Exactly!" Cheng Yuanzhi said indignantly: "Even if it is a 'beginner' broken grass hut, you need to kill sixteen wolves before you can move in—if I have such ability, where do I need to escape?" ”

"Exactly—" interjected one of the able-bodied wounded, "the sixteen wolves were scattered everywhere, in groups of four, and I managed to kill three of them, but at last the pack became much more violent, and if I had not fled quickly and cried out in time to admit defeat, I am afraid that I would have died there." ”

"Who is this warrior?" Zhang Jiao looked at the wounded man.

"Oh, his name is Zhang Mancheng, and he is still the same sect as Zhang Sheng." Cheng Yuanzhi introduced.

"Mancheng is brave, admire below," Zhang Jiao took out some herbs from his medicine basket and dressed Zhang Mancheng's wounds: "However, I see that those houses are spacious and can definitely accommodate more than one person, why don't you have many people to challenge at the same time?" ”

The surroundings of the "......" campfire fell silent for a moment.

"How else?!" Zhang Mancheng jumped up instantly, although he was a little grinning from the unhealed injury, but his expression was excited: "Even if it is a grass hut, it can accommodate four people - no, if many people can work together, it is more than enough for a wooden house!" Enshi, Shigeru, let's go! ”

Zhang Mancheng was like a raging fire, grabbed Cheng Yuanzhi and the man named Deng Mao by him on the side, rushed to the nearest thatched house, and ripped off the door number with the word "entry" written on it.

In Zhang Jiao's eyes, the three of them seemed to flicker, and then appeared in another posture, Zhang Mancheng's injuries seemed to be more serious, Cheng Yuanzhi was also slightly injured, and Deng Mao was even more discouraged, but the word "entry" on the door plate had been hidden and turned into a "Zhang" word.

"Haha! If I hadn't been injured, I would have been able to challenge the 'normal' stone house today. Zhang Mancheng hung the door number back, and the door of the thatched hut opened: "It seems that there are four people living in this house!" Zhang Sheng, come too! ”

Seeing that Zhang Mancheng succeeded, a group of hunters around the bonfire immediately went to get the door card with each other, after all, although the hunters were afraid of encountering wolves, but in the case of companions, it was impossible for an equal number of wolves to defeat the hunters.

Zhang Jiao smiled at Zhang Mancheng and shook his head, and walked straight to the palatial manor in the farthest distance.

"Challenge Shura?" Cheng Yuanzhi was surprised: "Does he have to fight hundreds of fierce beasts alone?" ”

"No, we don't know what the requirements are for a more luxurious house," Zhang Mancheng shook his head: "He can only ask for more blessings." ”

————

The hunters were blinded by a series of strange events, and as they walked, they thought that neither a beautiful woman, a strange forest, nor a giant tree village could compare to the skillful use of "time" and "space" displayed by the door card above.

Although since the awakening of "Wushuang", many strange martial arts have emerged in an endless stream, and it is rumored that when cultivated to a high depth, it can even call the wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers, but no one has ever seen it, and when it appears quietly in front of them, it is ignored by the vast majority of people.

This kind of "neglect" is best caused by the lack of knowledge of the hunters themselves, if it were the original arrangement of the master here, their own actions at this moment would be self-defeating - however, they have to do it.

Zhang Jiao thought so when he took off the "Shura" door number at the entrance of the gorgeous manor.

Huh - The scene in front of Zhang Jiao's eyes instantly stretched and distorted, forming a strange void passage, and after passing through this passage, he found that he did not arrive at any strange place, but was in a living room that matched the manor, and there were two Taoists, an old man and a young man, sitting in front of him on a row of Taishi chairs.

The owner of this place? No, it's not, Zhang Jiao's eyes moved slightly, and he didn't subconsciously salute.

"Hey, Lin family girl-everyone is here, start the trial quickly!" The old man didn't look at Zhang Jiao, but shouted.

A breeze blew, and Lin Hao, who was holding a snow-white animal, appeared in the hall with pink petals, glanced at Zhang Jiao as if he was surprised and expected, and then raised his hand slightly, projecting three books of silk in the void.

"These are the three articles of the "Taiping Technique", which are divided into "The Book of Heavenly Escape", "The Book of Earth Escape" and "The Book of Human Escape", there is no distinction between superior and inferior, but the inner supernatural powers are different," Lin Hao said: "Next, I will teleport all the Taoist masters to the trial scene of the family teacher, and each person will choose one according to the order of passing the trial." ”

"Hey, Yu Laodao, Xiaosheng wants to investigate who can be the master in this world, you don't want to rob people from Xiaosheng for books."

"The old man is useful for both the book and the book, if the old man is one step ahead of you, it depends on the mood of the old man."

"......" seemed to be able to obtain a strange book of immortals called "Book of Heavenly Escape" without hindrance, but Zhang Jiao was not happy, these two people, or these two immortals, completely ignored themselves and distributed the spoils there, but what did they rely on?

Moreover, since they were allowed to participate in this trial, they could not have had too obvious an advantage.

"Miss Lin," Zhang Jiao said slowly, "Is it possible to obtain all three Heavenly Books?" ”

"......" The two Taoists, one old and one young, were stunned on the spot.

"This ......" Lin Hao tilted his head: "If only one person passes the trial, the master can only hand over all the books to him." ”

Feeling the surging hostility of the two immortals, a smile appeared on Zhang Jiao's serious face.
