In the tavern, several disciples of the Battle Martial Sect were chatting, and no one noticed the swarthy young man in the corner, and even if they did, no one paid attention to it.

Zi Chen sat on the edge of the bed, looking out the window, looking very leisurely, but he heard everyone's whispered conversation, word for word.

His heart shook, he thought that Zhang Shui's dantian was abolished, it was just an accident, but he didn't expect that there was another hidden secret, it was Ling Yun who did it. Facing the wall for half a year, he dared to make a bold move when he came out, and blatantly plotted against the same door, and now it seems that Ling Yun should have a very hard backstage in the Zhan Wu Sect, and he is not afraid of the East Window incident at all.

"Senior brother, what happened to Zichen, the Lingwu Sect was destroyed, isn't he dead?" a disciple asked.

The destruction of the Lingwu Sect was almost a year ago, and it caused a huge sensation at that time, and both the Zhanwu Sect and the Xuanwu Sect sent strong people to investigate, but after they came back, these strong men did not say a word and did not reveal any important news.

But some people learned that the Lingwu Sect was destroyed, and all the elders from the Supreme Elder to the miscellaneous disciples died, and none of them survived.

"Of course he died. The senior brother said coldly.

"What's the matter with the death. A disciple whispered.

"You know. The senior brother retorted and said, "Zi Chen is dead, but he didn't die when he destroyed the sect, but he died in the lonely forest. ”

"The Silent Forest, that Jedi, is said to be terrifying, how did Zi Chen go there?" Obviously, there are also knowledgeable among these disciples, and even the Silent Forest knows.

"Hmph, he escaped all the way, and this matter has spread in Cangli City, but you don't know. The senior brother lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Tell you, that Zichen is really amazing, the rumors not only made the Martial Sect suffer a big loss, but even Yunxia City and the Heavenly Killing Pavilion also suffered a big loss. ”

"What, how is this possible, isn't Zichen a disciple of the Lingwu Sect, how can he have anything to do with the Sanfang Dashili?"

The senior brother first looked around, but found no suspicious person, and said in a low voice: " Lingwu Sect was destroyed by Wuzong, it is said that for a heavy treasure, and this heavy treasure is on Zi Chen, so he chased and killed all the way, and later the people of Tianzhu Pavilion and Yunxia City also knew about it, and they sent strong people one after another, and in desperation, Zi Chen entered the secluded jungle, it is said that in the secluded dense forest, there are many demon beasts, and the strength is strong, hundreds of strong people entered, and less than ten came out alive, these hundreds of strong people, the weakest are innate, and the strongest is said to be a half-step Yukong. ”

"Shhh

The sound of gasping cold air kept sounding all around, and everyone was wide-eyed, with disbelief in their eyes.

"It's a secret, and you'd better keep your mouth shut. The senior brother admonished, "Zichen died in the secluded jungle, the body was not found, but it can be determined that he died, it is said that later the strong people of the sky went and did not find it, it is estimated that it was swallowed by the demon beast, but unfortunately, a heavy treasure that the three parties shili are red eyes fell in the secluded jungle." ”

"Hey, it's a pity, if I have that heavy treasure, I will definitely take it out and hand it over to Wu Zong, so that I can make a fortune for a lifetime. A disciple sighed.

After that, there was some unnutritious chat, and Zichen checked out and left.

"It seems that this trick of the golden cicada is out of its shell, and it really worked, and the three parties thought that I was dead, and if I hid for a while, I could go to Cangli City. Zi Chen said secretly in his heart.

Now he has deliberately changed his appearance, and even Zhang Shui didn't recognize him, so Zi Chen didn't have to worry about being recognized, as long as he didn't do anything, he wouldn't show his feet.

When he returned, Zi Chen deliberately slowed down, and when the sun set, Zi Chen dragged a long shadow back to Daling Village.

At this time on weekdays, when the villagers returned, they could see a lot of people outside the village, but today, the outside of the village was empty, and at the same time, Zichen also found that there was less joy in the small village, and more of a bleak and sad atmosphere.

"What's going on?" Zi Chen frowned, feeling that something was wrong, and quickened his pace.

There was still no one in the village, and the children who were supposed to be playing here had also lost their traces, Zi Chen accelerated again, and when he was about to reach the door of Lao Zhangtou, he heard a noisy sound.

The voice was very chaotic, and it seemed that there were many people talking, and Zi Chen couldn't hear it clearly.

"Can't Zhang Shui think about it, really!" Zi Chen didn't dare to think about it.

In the past, when his dantian was abolished, he also had painful thoughts and knew what it was like to change from a monk to a mortal.

"Tatsuko, it's Tatsuko who's back!"

"Tatsuko, you're finally back, something happened, something was wrong. ”

When some villagers saw Zichen coming back, they stepped forward one after another, with hope in their eyes, as if they saw hope.

Zi Chen walked into Lao Zhangtou's courtyard and found that there were blood stains on the ground, and Zhang Shui was indeed gone.

"What's going on?" Zi Chen asked.

"It's the people of the Zhan Wu Sect, they are here again, begging for a piece of lower grade Yuan stone, where can we come up with so many multiple stones, Zhang Shui came out to reason with them, and they beat him up and almost killed him. "There are villagers.

"People from the Battle Martial Sect!" Zi Chen frowned.

Zhang Shui used to be a disciple of the Zhan Wu Sect, but after his strength was abolished, he was expelled from the sect.

"Chenzi, you have to think of a way, the people from the Zhan Wu Sect said, come back in a few days, if there is no lower grade Yuan Stone, you will have to slaughter the village. ”

"They fetched a piece of water, took away a dozen pieces of broken yuan stones we had scraped together, and threatened to come back in a few days!"

"Chenzi, you have to find a way to save us, the veins on the mountain have been mined for decades, where is there still the Yuan Stone, this is our life." ”

Outside Daling Village, there is a high mountain, a hundred years ago found a Yuan Shi vein, among which there are broken Yuan Stone, there are lower grade Yuan Stone, it caused a great shock at that time, for this three factions made a big shot, the strong died a lot, Zuihou or Wu Zong heard the news, sent people to mine, decades ago, has been mined, all withdrawn.

Later, when the villagers enter the mountain, they can occasionally find some broken stones, and in the previous mines, luck can also be harvested.

A hundred years ago, Daling Village was very prosperous, but since the ore vein was dug up and the people of Wuzong left, after decades, this small village has completely dilapidated.

The villagers were also unable to mine the yuan stone to make a living, so they turned to work, and some left Daling Village early.

Zi Chen knew about this, he was very curious when he first came, and he went to the mine to take a look, and after some searching, he found two broken yuan stones, nothing more.

Zi Chen is a monk, he stayed there for a day, searched for many places, and only found two broken yuan stones, let these ordinary people go to find them, but they couldn't find them at all.

The people of the Zhan Wu Sect opened their mouths to be a low-grade Yuan Stone, which was equivalent to begging for a hundred broken Yuan Stones, and they also threatened to slaughter the village if they didn't take out the Yuan Stone, which was really excessive.

Zi Chen couldn't hear the word Tu Village, and a cloud of anger had risen from the bottom of his heart.

In Daling Village, everyone knew that Zi Chen was extraordinary and a monk, but no one knew how strong he was.

It's just that at this moment, the villagers were frightened by the people of the Zhan Wu Sect and had no master, and when they saw Zi Chen, they subconsciously regarded him as the backbone.

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out. Zi Chen spoke, first to let these villagers feel at ease.

With Zichen's guarantee, the villagers felt a lot more relieved, and a monk's guarantee was still very effective for the villagers.

"Chenzi, you better go and see Zhang Shui first, he didn't say a word, it is very likely that he will be beaten stupid. ”

"Yes, Chenzi, Zhang Shui is a good person, when he was a monk in the Zhanwu Sect before, he has always sheltered the village, he must not have an accident. ”

Some villagers spoke, their eyes full of worry.

"Is Tatsuko back? At this moment, Lao Zhangtou walked out tremblingly with a bamboo stick.

"Uncle, how is Zhang Shui?" Zi Chen stepped forward to help Lao Zhang's head and asked.

"Hey!" the old man sighed, his eyes full of sadness, "I don't eat, drink, or speak, this is my life!"

"They are all from the Zhan Wu Sect, and no one has come here to collect the Yuan Stone for many years, and they are only here now, it is clearly intentional. ”

"I think they came here for Zhang Shui, it should be that Zhang Shui provoked someone in the sect, but unfortunately he didn't say anything. ”

The villagers spoke.

"I'll go in and take a look!"

The villagers got out of the way, Zichen walked straight in, Lao Zhangtou didn't come in, both of them were monks, he thought that there should be a common language.

In a small room, Zhang Shui was lying on a wooden bed, his face was blue and swollen, obviously beaten by the Zhan Wu Sect, who looked at the beams of the roof with blank eyes, and he didn't notice Zi Chen when he came in.

Seeing Zhang Shui's appearance, Zi Chen was even more sure in his heart that those people from the Battle Martial Sect were here for him, and all of this was for the sake of the matter of the Elixir Garden that day, and it should be Ling Yun's orders.

"Zhang Shui!" Zi Chen came in and shouted in a low voice.

Zhang Shui was stunned, slowly turned his head, and saw Zi Chen's arrival, his eyes were still blank.

"You have to cheer up, there is no hurdle that you can't get over. Zichen stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed.

At this time, Zhang Shui was very haggard, his eyes were blank, and when he got closer to Zichen, he found that the other party's face was swollen like a fat man, obviously the other party shot very hard, and it was not certain whether there were teeth in his mouth.

Zhang Shui didn't speak, and the whole person was already desperate. In the past, he was a high-ranking senior brother, but now, he was slapped by his former junior brother, and he was not even a waster.

"Don't despair, things will always be resolved, you don't think about yourself, but also think about your father, the monk's shijie is cruel, the weak eat the strong, the strong are respected, who can guarantee that the scenery will always be beautiful, if you are not careful, you will die. ”

"Thinking about the many strong people who died in the Elixir Garden at the beginning, you still have a life, and you can live a safe and stable life, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. Zi Chen didn't know how to comfort people, just said some thoughts in his heart at the moment.

Zhang Shui was still indifferent, there was no reaction, he was already desperate, hearing Zi Chen's words, his desperate eyes seemed to fluctuate a little.

"The monk's shijie is the most cruel, either you die or I die, maybe today is high, tomorrow it will become a desolate corpse on the side of the road, there is no one who is even buried, it is either fragmented, or buried in the belly of a beast, you can escape a catastrophe and live a peaceful life, it is also a blessing. ”

"Think about the elixir garden, so many people have died, human lives are like mustard, and every living life will fall in the next moment, can't you see through it?"

Zi Chen spoke, his voice becoming more and more severe.

"You have a good father, and you have a large group of villagers who care about you, and you should cherish it, why can't you look at it, you have to make your father sad, and the villagers are worried?"

Zi Chen mentioned the Elixir Garden twice, which finally made Zhang Shui's expression change, he was no longer silent, but he was still desperate.

"This is a catastrophe, a catastrophe that can't be avoided, their purpose is me, if I don't die, the villagers will not have a stable life, this period of time, I have already seen it, what can mortals do, but now I don't even have the opportunity to live a mortal life. ”

"You don't know, I survived, not because I was lucky, but because they deliberately did it, just to insult me, to be honest, compared to other senior brothers, I would rather be killed on the spot than the same as now, my strength was abolished, and the villagers were affected. ”
