Chapter 137: Throwing Away the Armor
Zhang Xin's words startled us: "It took hundreds of years to cultivate a human form? What does that mean? Could it be said that "
Zhang Xin tilted his head slightly, looked at us, and then said, "That's right, I wasn't human before. It's just a wild monkey wandering through the mountains. Now you get the idea, right? I didn't follow the wizard into the underworld, but stayed in the human world and guarded his body. "
We all looked at Zhang Xin in amazement.
Zhang Xin seemed to be extremely sleepy. He tried to open his eyes and looked at the Neidan in Wen Yu's hand: "You take it." Even if I leave, I feel at ease. "
Wen Yu nodded in a daze. Then she shook her hand. Hold the inner pill in the palm of your hand. By the time she opened her hands again, Nedan was gone. It seems that she has been sucked into her body.
Zhang Xin nodded, and then, his face suddenly changed. Right in front of us, we saw that the old man had changed from a sanctimonious old man to a big mandrill with white hair.
Zhang Xin is dead. Lying quietly on the stone bed. We looked at this mandrill and didn't know what to do for a while.
Wen Yu is also Zhang Xin's apprentice no matter what he says, and he has obtained his inner dan. So, we all looked at her and waited for her to come up with an idea.
Wen Yu thought for a moment, looked at us and said, "You can help me bury him." "
We talked about it for a while. feels that Zhang Xin has been guarding the body of a wizard almost all his life. Now the wizards are gone. We simply put him in the coffin array underground, which can be regarded as fulfilling his wish.
It was a quiet day. The fat man and I carried Zhang Xin's body.
Wen Yu, Wushuang and the thin man, the three seriously injured people supported each other and followed behind. A group of five of us slowly walked outside the coffin.
The jade coffin has been broken by the demon path. We made a new coffin out of wood, although it was very rough, but it could also allow Zhang Xin to live in.
The fat man and I carried the coffin and walked quickly to the coffin.
In an instant, I felt the wind howling, almost blowing my whole body through.
I took a breath and walked with the fat man to the center of the coffin, and then put the coffin down.
At this moment, Wen Yu and Wushuang outside the coffin array exclaimed.
These two voices scared me and the fat man, is there any danger?
Immediately after, I felt a dark shadow running towards us.
The fat man was already trembling, but at this time, he was frightened by this black shadow, and suddenly cried for his father and mother, and hugged his head and ran away.
I'm a little bolder than the fat man, but I'm actually not much better. Regardless of the coffin not being steady, he took three steps and made two steps and ran out.
When we ran outside the coffin array and looked at the black shadow again, we realized that the black shadow was actually the little mandrill.
It lay on top of Zhang Xin's coffin, blown by the wind.
After a while, it seemed that it finally couldn't stand the erosion of the yin qi and had to give up and retreat outside the coffin array.
The little mandrill turned his head and saw a few of us. Immediately bared his teeth at us, jumping up and down, as if threatening us.
I guess this mandrill is still young, and if it had been a little bigger, it would have pounced on us a long time ago.
The fat man said to me, "This mandrill doesn't seem to want us here." "
Wen Yu nodded and said, "Let's go." He and Zhang Xin should not be related by blood, but after all, they are the same kind, and they should cherish each other. "
A few of us are supporting each other. Returned to Zhangxin's cave.
The formations he laid out before his death are still there, and with our strength, it is not enough to break out of the gang at present. So, we recuperated here for more than a week. Wait until a few people can walk freely before setting off.
For the past month, the little mandrill has been staying outside the coffin array underground. Except when he needs to eat, he will run out of the house to catch two rabbits or pheasants. Without exception, the critters were drained of their blood, and the meat did not move. A few of us shamelessly stole the meat, roasted it and ate it.
A week later, we packed our things. Departure.
At this time, due to the injuries of other people, the fat man and I actually became the main force. Fortunately, one is born, and the second is ripe. We passed through Zhang Xin's formation smoothly and did not suffer any damage. It's just a pity that we never found Old Man Hao's soul. The fat man said with a sad face: "My master must have been driven out of the formation because his longevity was exhausted, and the ghost messenger was taken away." "
In short, we came back dejected and defeated. This trip tossed for a month, and nothing came of it. The only clue is broken. The Wizards' body was also lost.
In fact, even if we can find the body of the wizard, it will not do anything. Could it be that the fox is a fake tiger and uses his body to scare the ghost away?
After returning to Xi'an, I called Xiao Wang. I found out that this kid was promoted again. has become a veritable director. He was very happy to hear that a few of us were back, and drove us back in a special car.
The four of us stayed in the same house. It's as if nothing has changed at all. The only thing that has changed is time. It's closer to the Midyear Festival.
We asked Wen Yu, "How is the inner dan of the mandrill?" "
Wen Yu smiled slightly: "It's very effective." "
Let's get to the bottom of the question: "How are you doing now?" "
Wen Yu thought for a while and said, "It's a little worse than Zhang Xin, but it's not much worse." "
We were all amazed.
Wushuang looked at me with a sneering expression: "Xu You, everyone is a person who has won Neidan. Why is the gap so big? "
I waved my hand: "Can this be the same?" I let the fox fool me. My Nedan is a fake. "
The thin man sighed: "Speaking of which, I don't know if the fox was caught by the people of the underworld." My brother and I are still fugitives. I'm afraid I can't stay in this place. "
I said to the thin man, "If you catch it, you won't know what to do." But yesterday Xiao Wang told me that since we left, those bizarre deaths have not happened again. It seems that the fox should have escaped even if he hadn't been caught. "
I said this, but I didn't know what it was, and I had a vague feeling in my heart that the fox had not escaped, but had been caught.
The thin man stood up and said categorically, "We can't stay in this place, we brothers have to go." People in the underworld are not easy to mess with, and they may find out about us at any time. "
I nodded and proposed, "Anyway, there is nothing to gain in Xi'an." It's time to leave. "
However, we are at a loss as to where to go. The world is big, we don't know where to find a wizard in Lu Dao, and we don't know how to save Zhang Yuan.
At this time, Wen Yu said categorically: "Go to Taiyuan." "
I shook my head: "We just escaped from Taiyuan, you don't know how embarrassed we were at that time." If you go back now, aren't you throwing yourself into the net? "
Wen Yu said lightly: "I have also heard about your escape from Taiyuan to Xi'an. I can almost imagine what it was like at that time. However, Xu You has thought about it. When you ran away, you were just afraid of the dumb people in the coffin shop. Do you think that compared with Dumb and Zhang Xin, who is more powerful? "
I thought for a moment: "Two people are about the same. "
Wen Yu nodded: "In that case, with me, plus a few of you, it shouldn't be difficult to win the dumb one." "
Rational analysis, Wen Yu's words are not unreasonable. But vaguely, I always felt that Taiyuan was very dangerous, and I was very resistant to it in my heart, and I didn't want to go back.
Wen Yu continued to persuade me: "The Midyear Festival is also coming soon. You didn't think that Zhang Yuan was found and sent to the Underworld Soul Pool to be destroyed before you went back to save him, right? "
Before I could speak, Wushuang stood up suddenly: "That's right." We have to rush back. The Wizards can't be found anyway. Let's just sneak up on the coffin shop and kill the dumb man directly. Get my dad out. Then let's run away together. "
I had no choice but to nod: "Okay, let's go back to Taiyuan." "
Wen Yu smiled and nodded: "Xie Lu Xie." "
I felt a little strange in my heart: "What are you thanking me for?" "
Wen Yu said: "You don't know what to do, in the past few days, I suddenly have the feeling of the master. Fidgeting, always feeling that danger is close by. No matter how hard I try, I can't resist I guess that my yang life should be exhausted. "
We all wondered: "Aren't you reincarnated once in a hundred years?" It stands to reason that your longevity should have been exhausted a long time ago. "
Wen Yu said lightly: "I don't know the Tao either, maybe it's just like what Zhang Xin said." I stayed with him, there is a reason for the protection of the formation. But don't worry, I won't die when my longevity is over, I have cultivated his secret arts, and the ghosts can't help me. "
We were all curious: "What is your secret art?" So powerful? "
Wen Yu shook his head: "It's better for you not to know the Dao." It's not good for you. "
I said yes and asked her again, "You haven't told me yet." What did you thank me for? Does this have anything to do with your longevity? "
Wen Yu nodded: "I can feel that the immortal is in Taiyuan." Moreover, in recent days, there has been a growing feeling that every hundred years he has reincarnated me, not to harm me, but to save me. I now suspect that it is the immortal who I took the initiative to find when I die every hundred years, not the immortal who is looking for me. "
Wen Yu's words were very mysterious. But no one can say that she doesn't feel right. After all, her background is too mysterious.
The thin man stood up and said, "In that case, let's go to Taiyuan." Xu You, have you figured out how to settle us in Taiyuan? "
I nodded: "I have a friend who is in charge of affairs in the Great Holy Temple, so we can go there." Then carefully discuss and discuss, how to save people, how to deal with the aftermath. "
And they all agreed.
Then, without delay, we called Xiao Wang, and after a brief goodbye, we set off for Taiyuan.
