Chapter 90: Divergence
When he joined forces with Zhang Deming to fight before, he only felt that Zhang Deming's rattan technique was 'exquisite', but now that he was close to the level of personal experience, he found that Zhang Deming's rattan technique was no longer 'exquisite'.
As for the sword shadows cruising around him, it was no surprise that they were pierced by the spikes and turned into a flood of spiritual light.
But when the aura disintegrated, it did not disappear, but turned into a streamer and submerged into Li Shifan's left palm, and no beads fell out of the spot. Li Shifan, who looked tense, was stunned for a moment and fell into a trance.
Zhang Deming, who looked at all this, paused slightly. glanced at Li Shifan, who was in a trance, and then turned his head, after all, there is still a place that has not been solved.
Zhang Deming turned his head again and looked at the direction of the still chessboard.
The two sword shadows, not far from Nangong Cheng, hung in front of him, Nangong Cheng's figure was also slightly embarrassed, obviously the two sword shadows before made him a little overwhelmed, and the retreating Tong Hou saw this, so he shot again to delay time.
And Tong Hou has a strong tea aura rising all over his body, and the amplitude state has already reached Feng Mingyou's limit.
But after being trapped for a few seconds, his face was still a little red at the moment, and he looked like he was about to the limit.
With the arrival of Zhang Deming, Tong Hou's eyes rolled, and the chessboard under everyone's feet rotated slightly.
Spell: Chess Lane Shelling!
Tong Hou disappeared with Feng Mingyou again, and this time the chessboard shattered the moment he disappeared.
And Nangong Cheng, who had prepared early in the morning, also stepped out, and the whole person shot out a distance like a streamer. Zhang Deming, who had been prepared for a long time, repeated his old trick again and pressed his hands on the ground.
Development Spell: Thorn Dreamy Thorn!
Dozens of jade spikes emerged again, piercing the two sword shadows into shattered spiritual light.
"Pop ······"
Two real and illusory balls fell to the ground. Zhang Deming stretched out a rattan and picked it up.
The five sword shadows have all been solved so far, Zhang Deming turned around and found that Li Shifan was still stiff all over, trapped in the jade spikes, and his expression was in a trance, as if he was having a relationship with his ancestor again.
He paused slightly, the surrounding vines turned into points of light and disappeared, seeing that the other party was still standing, a vine poked Li Shifan's shoulder, and said, "Hey, come back to your senses······"
Li Shifan, who was poked by the vines, suddenly swelled in the momentum of his whole body, and he flew out like a blast, turning into a streamer and shooting far away.
Zhang Deming: "Forehead ······"
Zhang Deming's arms were half extended, his lips were slightly open, he froze in place, and looked at each other with a confused expression, this is all over, what is this trouble?
Li Shifan instinctively galloped for a distance before he came back to his senses slightly, and a mini picture scroll in his palm slowly disappeared.
"That, what's the fuss you're doing?" Zhang Deming looked at Li Shifan in confusion.
Li Shifan paused and said, "That, I was distracted just now." ”
Zhang Deming was stunned and glanced at the palm of the other party's hand, I'm afraid you're a little too excited!
At this time, Nangong Cheng and a few people stepped forward, and Zhang Deming didn't continue to ask about the disappearance of the sword shadow aura before.
Li Shifan also stepped forward again, and the five of them regathered, but they did not rush forward again, and they were a little silent.
Zhang Deming paused and said, "What do you think?" ”
When Nangong Cheng heard this, he hesitated and said: "This place is a little too dangerous, although these sword shadows have obvious weaknesses, but because of their uniqueness, if the road they are building is not right, they can't do anything at all."
In terms of attack, it is even more powerful to the level of three talents. This is still something that I encountered when I just entered, and if I go deeper, I don't know what the situation is, and I am not in favor of continuing to go deeper.
After all, judging from the residual breath here, it is obvious that it is a battlefield left by at least three overhauls, and it is too dangerous for us. ”
Although Feng Mingyou and Tong Hou didn't speak, they looked at them with obvious agreement.
Zhang Deming turned his head, looked at the silent Li Shifan, and said, "What about you?" ”
Li Shifan paused slightly, and said hesitantly: "I want to try." ”
When Nangong Cheng heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "You don't even have basic means to control the enemy, how do you want to try?" ”
Li Shifan hesitated and said, "I just remembered that I seem to have a means that should be able to restrain these things. ”
Nangong Cheng's faces froze.
Just remembered? Are you serious?
Several people fell silent, and no one spoke rashly, the newly formed team, with the disagreement that appeared in danger of their lives, did not explode immediately, it was already the result of everyone's conscious restraint.
If it weren't for the alliance, if it were a team formed indiscriminately, it would probably be chaotic just now.
Everyone pondered for a long time before Nangong Cheng spoke: "Looking at the aura in this place, it is obviously a battlefield left by sword cultivators and summoned Taoist monks, you are so insistent on going in, and you have asked for a sword soul mine before, are you preparing for the promotion of resources for Liangyi?" ”
Li Shifan was silent and didn't admit it, but he didn't refute it, which was a tacit acquiescence to a certain extent.
Nangong Cheng glanced at Li Shifan and said, "I see that your cultivation is only the first three lives of Taiji, and it should be too early to get to the matter of Liangyi, why rush for a while?"
Although the Sword Soul Mine is precious, you can always see one or two copies for decades, so why take the risk this time? ”
Li Shifan paused, glanced at Nangong Cheng, and didn't say anything that he had only used for two years from the middle of his apprenticeship to now.
He answered: "My qualifications are really limited, and I am afraid that it will drag on for tens or hundreds of years, and after the best Liangyi years, it will be too late to find resources."
Now that there is an opportunity, there is a certain possibility of giving it a go. If you retreat like this, it's good to have a chance in the future, but if you don't have a chance, I'm afraid that I will regret it for life. ”
The words between the two were as soft as possible, but there was persistence in their words.
Nangong Cheng frowned slightly, although he showed Tai Chi cultivation, but after two battles, everyone already knew that he and Zhang Deming were Liangyi monks.
In such a situation, Li Shifan still has such an attitude, he feels that Li Shifan is a little uninteresting.
Feeling the atmosphere, Zhang Deming said: "That's it, let's divide the troops first." ”
Nangong Cheng and the others looked at Zhang Deming with a moving expression.
Zhang Deming said: "I promised to help draw the sword ······ before."
"Senior Brother······
Li Shifan was about to speak when he heard this, Zhang Deming stretched out his hand to stop the other party's next words, and continued: "I promised to help draw a sword to obtain the sword soul mine, but now this situation is a bit dangerous, and it is still acceptable to me.
It is indeed not like a word to retreat like this. Coupled with the environment of this place, it is extremely likely to breed high-level summoning materials, and I also want to explore it.
As for you, in the face of those strange sword shadows just now, there is really no need to take such risks because of the limitations of your cultivation path. In that case, let's just divide our forces here first.
Sword and I continue to explore, and it's up to you to decide whether the three of you stay outside, make your way to Mission One, or join us.
When the two of us finish exploring, we will quickly catch up with you, anyway, the No. 1 marker is so far away, it will definitely not be able to catch up in a day or two.
As for the speed of my journey, even if you decide to go first, as long as there is not much delay on our side, maybe you don't arrive, and we will meet again.
And with the guidance of the Book of All Beings, we are not afraid of not being able to meet again when we divide our troops. In this way, everyone can get their wish. What do you think of this? ”
When Nangong Cheng heard this, his expression moved slightly, he fell into deep thought, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I think it is feasible." ”
Zhang Deming looked around, and when he saw that no one objected, he said, "Then let's decide!" Sword and I continued to explore, and it was up to you whether you would wait or head to Markmark One. ”
Zhang Deming glanced at Nangong Cheng, paused, turned his head to look at Tong Hou and the others, and said, "What about the two of you, do you choose to withdraw with Hualian, or do you choose to move forward with us?" ”
At the beginning of the disagreement, Tong Hou did not intervene from beginning to end, and maintained a bystander attitude, at this moment, seeing that the matter was settled, Zhang Deming asked his head, he paused and said:
"I follow you forward, I guess it won't help much, looking at the situation here, maybe it will add chaos, so I'll quit with Hualian."
Zhang Deming nodded, looked at Feng Mingyou and said, "What about you?" ”
Feng Mingyou's lips moved slightly, his expression was a little tangled, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "I want to follow you senior brothers, but in this case, if I follow in, I can only be a burden, so I also choose to quit." ”
When Zhang Deming heard this, he nodded again and said: "That's okay, it's decided, I'll go to explore with the two of you, whether you wait or take the first step, just decide for yourself." ”
When several people heard this, they all nodded and agreed to this decision.
At this point, the newly established squad was divided in this way.
If it weren't for the scruples of the alliance, everyone tried their best to make friends with each other, and it is estimated that at this moment, they would not have divided their troops, but directly parted ways.
After making a decision, the five of them each saluted, and Zhang Deming and Li Shifan turned around, walked inside, and continued to move forward.
Nangong Cheng and the three of them looked at the backs of the two of them in the same place, and it was not until they disappeared that Nangong Cheng said, "Let's leave here first and then make other decisions." ”
Tong Hou smiled and said, "I think so too." ”
Feng Mingyou didn't speak, glanced at the place where Zhang Deming and Li Shifan disappeared, and followed Nangong Cheng and the others out of this strange battlefield area.
······
Zhang Deming and Li Shifan, after leaving the team, walked forward for a while, and Li Shifan suddenly said: "Senior brother, thank you!" ”
There are not many words in a sentence without a beginning or an end, but Zhang Deming felt the sincerity in it.
Zhang Deming paused, turned his head to look at the other party, and said, "Don't be so hypocritical, when I received the Tongxin Lotus Root, I didn't say half a word to you."
At that time, I heard that you not only had contact with the Sancai Great Demon, but also almost robbed by the monks of the Quanzhen Cave Heaven because of resources, but you still invited Huang Lao, and it took the price to save the day.
I also heard about all these things when I was holding the lotus root, and I have said half a word. ”
Li Shifan glanced at Zhang Deming and didn't answer.
Zhang Deming continued: "Besides, I wasn't talking nonsense just now, the environment of this place is indeed more than just a sword soul mine.
If you're lucky, you might be able to come across other summoning materials, didn't you say the same in the original information? If it were then, I wouldn't be hypocritical and polite with you. ”
When Li Shifan heard this, he smiled and said, "I'll help you get it then." ”
Zhang Deming also smiled, changed the topic, glanced at the other party's left hand, and said, "What do you mean by the means of resisting the enemy just now?" ”
When Li Shifan heard this, his expression moved, and a mini picture scroll slowly appeared in his palm.
Li Cheng's figure floated out like smoke, slowly condensing beside the two of them.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Zhang Xiaoyou's cultivation, the old man is getting more and more incomprehensible. Every time they meet, Xiaoyou's cultivation seems to surprise the old man. Li Cheng's body was like smoke, floating beside the two of them, looking at Zhang Deming and speaking.
Zhang Deming glanced at Li Cheng and said, "I'm just lucky, plus some resources, and I don't deserve to be so praised by my predecessors."
Compared with those so-called geniuses, my cultivation is really not enough. However, Senior Li still has the same demeanor, and there has been no change. ”
Li Cheng smiled when he heard this, and said, "Twenty-year-old Liangyi Monk, the candidate Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Blessed Land Holy Land, this is what it looks like."
Xiaoyou is still so modest, it's really embarrassing for the old man, the old man has been mixed up for thousands of years, but he has ended up like this, and he doesn't know how to deal with himself in the face of Xiaoyou. ”
Zhang Deming's face was pale, it's okay, old guy, just forget about business mutual support.
At the same time, my road is half broken, I don't know how to pick it up, if you have this foundation before you are alive, you will not fall into such a situation if you go to professional stinky feet!
Zhang Deming paused for a moment before he smiled bitterly: "Being so promoted by the seniors, the juniors are really a little overwhelmed. ”
When Li Cheng heard this, his face turned pale, and he glanced at Zhang Deming strangely.
Zhang Deming also glanced back at each other, eye contact, it was the right look, it was a tacit look, the two decisively closed their eyes, tacitly accepted the conversation, and did not continue to praise each other.
Li Cheng spoke: "I'm ashamed to say it, the old man can only be barely cultivated now, but he can't be your predecessor anymore." ”
Zhang Deming said with a smile: "Disciples of the family, they will be completed according to their seniority, and the seniors don't have to mind the matter of cultivation." I have a very close relationship with Senior Brother Li, you are his ancestor, and it is right to call your seniors. ”
Li Cheng paused, he didn't dwell on this topic, Zhang Deming was also telling the truth.
In the sect, almost all of them are based on cultivation. And among the families, except for a very few strange families, most of them are still from generations.
Of course, it's just a title, in this Hongmeng planet of cultivation, the right to speak or something, strength is the main thing. In the family, no matter how high the seniority is, it is in vain if you have no strength.
Of course, often in the family, a high rank means a strong strength, because the stronger the strength, the longer you live.
When you boil to death the contemporaries, contemporaries, and peers of the same generation, you will slowly become a big man. The thing that has been seen for a long time is really the most normal thing in Hongmeng.
can fight but not life, life is not as long as life, life is not as long as it can be gou, Hongmeng's big guy is mostly mixed up like this. Of course, this refers to the usual case, except for the kind of wicked people.
For example, if you can fight, have a big life, and have a long life, this kind of demon, you don't need to be Gou, no matter how much you can Gou, you can't compare to such a demon.
The previous set of rules only applied to ordinary people, ordinary monks.
Demons, darlings of the times, hanging or something, these are not within the scope of common sense.
······
Li Cheng turned his head to look at Li Shifan and said, "That's it, let's talk about it in private." ”
Zhang Deming smiled when he heard this, and said, "So when the seniors came out at this moment, wouldn't it be to tell me that Senior Brother Li's so-called 'means of suddenly remembering' refers to you, seniors, right?"
I don't remember it well, but it's not forgetful.
If I'm not mistaken, my predecessors said that your natal painting had a slight accident due to forced sublimation, and it consumed luck or something, such extremely precious things.
If it was for the sake of Liangyi a few years earlier, I don't think it would be a wise decision to compromise Senior Brother Li's foundation like this. In that case, it is better to wait a few more years. ”
When Li Cheng heard this, a smile appeared on his paralyzed face, and he said, "This matter is really a turning point when I entered here just now." And the turnaround is still from Xiaoyou, and the old man is also cheeky at the moment, and he has something to ask for. ”
When Zhang Deming heard this, his expression flickered, his eyes flickered, and he remembered the scene of helping Li Shifan in the battle just now, and with a flip of his hand, four beads appeared in the palm of his hand. Looking at this thing, he finally understood where the previous weirdness came from.
No wonder this thing looks like a soul bead and a spirit bead. Isn't this the painting spirit bead he saw when he looked at the information before!
It's just that he has read too much information, and this painting is a cheating father, so he just took a look at it in a hurry, and it was normal for him to remember it for a while.
"Did the seniors want this?" Zhang Deming looked at the four beads and spoke.
When Li Cheng heard this, there was a rare touch of heat on Mu Ran's face, and he said: "That's right, I do want these spirit beads, with these things, the old man won't have to rely too much on luck in the future." ”
Zhang Deming looked at the beads and did not immediately agree, it is one thing to have a good relationship, and it is another thing to be wronged. Before you know the value of this thing, it's a bit stupid to give it away.
Zhang Deming looked at a few beads and said, "Can the seniors talk about this thing specifically?" ”
Li Cheng didn't mind much when he saw Zhang Deming's attitude, the old demon was like him, so he naturally understood what Zhang Deming meant.
And he will not destroy the relationship between his grandson and Zhang Deming for this thing, so both of them know that either they don't say it, or it is impossible to say false information.
Li Cheng didn't answer directly, but asked a question, "How much does Zhang Xiaoyou know about painting?" ”
Zhang Deming paused slightly, and replied directly: "Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, miscellaneous arts, the younger generations don't know much. ”
Li Cheng listened to Zhang Deming's euphemistic answer, but he didn't care much, and he himself knew about the pit father who painted the road. He continued: "Then do you know what direction Hongmeng is taking to develop this painting master? ”
