Chapter 14: Chance Encounters
Yesterday was a scorching winter with layers of snow, and today is a scorching summer with scorching sun. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Time flies, Lu Zheng followed the monster in the clouds and spent half a year in the deep mountains and dense forests.
In the past six months, Lu Zheng has been working day and night, and his cultivation has never stopped. "Water and Fire Heart Sutra" has three chapters, and the cultivation is the middle of the upper chapter.
Under the scorching sun, the water is turbulent and the river is narrow. The young man in black stood quietly, dressed in a capable and energetic suit, with the hem of his clothes inserted into the waistband of his trousers, holding a three-foot long sword, his eyes slightly closed, and he did not move like a mountain.
Suddenly, the mountains and rocks in the distance collapsed, and the water rushed and changed like a tide of ten thousand beasts, and the young man's eyes suddenly opened.
A pair of eyes burst into light, a long sword swung in the air, a simple sword, and rushed with a sharp light.
"Click!"
The water freezes in response, and the long river spreads into ice belts.
"Boom!"
In the next moment, the fire suddenly burst into the sky, and the scorching light was even more scorching than the scorching sun in the middle of the day, and in the blink of an eye, the frozen river burned to the ground.
The entire stream of water, along with the river, evaporated together!
The young man turned around, revealing the whole picture of his eyebrows and eyes, cold and handsome, and it was Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng spun around and jumped to the high mountain, water and fire blended and converged behind him until they slowly disappeared.
The Flowing Fire Sword flashed and returned to calm.
The Flowing Fire Sword given by Duan Qiufeng is a high-grade spiritual weapon of the Xuan Rank, and it is blessed with fire when it dances, which can cause continuous burning to the opponent, but if the sword master's ability is not enough, it may burn himself.
Such a spiritual weapon, but it happens to complement the exercise "Water and Fire Heart Sutra" given by the monster in the clouds.
The Heart Sutra is divided into three parts, the first part is to practice martial arts, and the exercises bring fire,
The middle part cultivates the spirit, the exercises bring water, and the second part is the double cultivation of spirit and martial arts, and the water and fire are changed.
Although Lu Zheng has only cultivated to the middle of the first part, he can unexpectedly be able to blend water and fire simply. He guessed that this had something to do with the fact that he had been required to stand in the water and cultivate.
Looking into the distance, you can see the high mountains and dangerous peaks stretching and undulating, occasionally there are streams and waterfalls like silver threads interspersed with them, and there are faintly black dot-like houses in the farthest distance.
Lu Zheng aroused his interest, remembered his master's instructions before the retreat, and also felt that going out of the mountains and entering the world would be more beneficial to his cultivation.
After a brief tidying up, Lu Zheng immediately set off, flew thousands of miles, and came to the place where he had been looking from afar, Qinghua Town.
The town is quite large, with the scale of a small city, and it is only within two hundred miles of the old site of Baiyun Town.
Lu Zheng strolled through it, and the lively and prosperous scene came into view, which made him a little uncomfortable.
The savages in the deep mountains have been doing it for a long time, and when they suddenly see the human beings rubbing shoulders, they can't help but make people secretly tense their bodies and be on guard.
At this moment, a thin man bumped into Lu Zheng's arm.
Lu Zheng turned sideways, but didn't take it to heart, who would have thought that the other party was quite capable, and immediately grabbed his arm and didn't let him go, and cursed loudly and arrogantly: "Boy! Seeing that you are wearing a tattered bun, it is pitiful enough, but I didn't expect that your eyes are not good! I actually bumped into your grandfather and me! I want to run away without making amends?"
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect to meet someone in another world, so he said expressionlessly: "How are you doing?"
The thin man was unconsciously taken half a step back by Lu Zheng's deep black eyes, and when he noticed it, he immediately became angry, and immediately slapped it out, scolding: "Your grandfather......'s!
"Smack!"
Just when the man almost slapped Lu Zheng's face, Lu Zheng grabbed it and twisted it hard, and actually broke the other party's wrist on the spot.
Lu Zheng pulled his mouth, smiled without smiling, and said softly in the man's wailing and screaming: "I'm really sorry, I've been addicted to pinching the monster's neck these days." Suddenly, I saw that something was sent to the door by itself, and one didn't hold back, so he accidentally used a little force. β
After saying that, Lu Zheng threw the person away and stepped on the opponent's foot and neck mercilessly.
Lu Zheng said again: "I think you can run and jump, and your energy is also good, which is most suitable for begging along the street in disguised as a cripple." β
Saying that, Lu Zheng really trampled the person into a cripple.
The thin man who couldn't blackmail rolled on the ground and turned into a twist, screaming in pain. None of the passers-by were willing to step forward.
The town's natives were a little frightened and pretended not to see it.
The skinny man's name is Ah Shuang, and he specializes in stealing chickens and dogs and robbing treasures on weekdays. This time he will make a move, maybe he fell in love with the other party's tattered but waist with a high-quality spiritual weapon.
Lu Zheng sneered and left.
The reason why he will be ruthless is that as he said, he has recently become addicted to pinching monsters, and his hands are shaking for a while. There is also a sense that the thin man has a lot of grievances unique to ghosts, and he is not a good person, so there is no need to show mercy.
It was almost noon, Lu Zheng chose a small restaurant and stepped in.
In the distance, two cultivators, a man and a woman, saw Lu Zheng's movements, glanced at each other, and immediately raised their heels.
In the distance, two people also stopped for a moment.
One of the teenagers frowned, looked very depressed, and only said, "Sister, what are you looking at?"
The woman holding the umbrella showed a half-delicate face, her eyes were unwavering, and she replied, "It's nothing." β
"Do you want me to kill him?"
"No, I don't. β
The two guards who followed closely behind the sister and brother looked at each other, and they always felt that they had seen a thick murderous intent on the face of their young master.
Is it just because the eldest lady looked at each other a few more times?
At this time, the person holding the umbrella turned his head and asked his younger brother, "Do you want tea?"
The younger brother was displeased, and he didn't need to think about it to understand what his sister meant, so he immediately frowned and said, "That's a restaurant, not a teahouse." β
"There will be tea. β
The woman holding the umbrella said, pulled the young man, and walked to the restaurant.
Lu Zheng didn't know that behind him, there were already two groups of people following one after another.
"This lord, the private room is gone, you see?"
Xiao Er was clever and did not lose his enthusiasm because Lu Zheng's clothes were damaged.
"It's good to be near the window. β
Lu Zheng didn't pick where to sit, his purpose was just to satisfy his stomach and find out the news.
The guests were easy to talk, and Xiao Er immediately became more enthusiastic, leading people to an empty table by the window to sit down, and recommended the popular good wine and good dishes in the restaurant.
Lu Zheng smiled one by one, took out a string of pearls and jade as a reward, and then asked a few questions casually.
Xiao Ermei smiled, he had seen and heard a lot on weekdays, and he happened to know Lu Zheng's problems.
"Don't hide it from this master, although the little one is a runaway, he does hear a lot of past news on weekdays. You said that you want to go to Baiyun Town in the east to look for your relatives? I don't dare to lie to you! You still ask for condolences! Half a year ago, Baiyun Town was destroyed, and the corpses that were dug up were stacked one on top of the other, and they were very miserable, and there was no one alive!"
"To say that the people of Baiyun Town are also innocent. But who let them live next to each other with the anti-cang faction on the mountain? The anti-cang faction did not know which way of the immortal it had offended, and it was actually wiped out overnight! It is rumored that the anti-cang faction did not have a single living mouth. β
"To say that the anti-cang faction is also a legend, although the faΓ§ade is not big, and the cultivation of the head is not high, but it has an excellent reputation within a radius of 100 miles. Duan's usual hobby is to go down the mountain to find apprentices, and to kill the demon cultivators who commit evil and murder. The head of that section was a good man and an ambitious man. When he meets people, he persuades people to cultivate and practice martial arts, and he is dedicated to progress, saying that he can get rid of the sea of reincarnation and suffering. β
Speaking of this, Xiao Er also felt a little emotional, lowered his voice and said, "But if you want me to say, that section of the head is a little whimsical." Ordinary people have their own pleasures, and not necessarily everyone wants to cultivate the Tao and get rid of birth, old age, sickness and death. It is said that the reason why Duanzhang and his two initiates parted ways was because of their different philosophies. People think he's too naΓ―ve. β
Lu Zheng frowned, noncommittal, and asked, "Then do you know who the two initiates of the Duan Sect are?"
"Know!" Xiao Er replied quickly, and there was admiration in his eyes.
"People in the rivers and lakes say that Duan Qiufeng, the head of the Reverse Cang Sect, has average qualifications and average cultivation, but he has two powerful initiates. It is Kuang Tianqi and Gu Xintong, who are much higher in cultivation and qualifications than him. Although these two people have no sect or faction, they are among the best in casual cultivation, walking the rivers and lakes all year round and presiding over justice. β
Lu Zheng felt that this little two probably heard a lot of books on weekdays, so he was also a little whimsical.
At a table not far away, Kuang Tianqi and Gu Xintong, who were almost said to be the saviors, looked a little entangled.
The two of them just love to be chic and free, so they do whatever they want. I don't think I'm a bad person, but I'm not a good person either. The so-called presiding justice is still provincial. And also...... When did they part ways with Duan Qiufeng? It's true that the ideas are different.
At this time, the two heard Lu Zheng ask the little two, "Do you know what has happened to the Jiding Gate recently?"
"Don't you dare to say it!
Xiao Er waved his hand again and again, his expression was panicked, and the next second he used the excuse of the shopkeeper to find him and ran away.
"Huh. β
Lu Zheng sneered, but he was not angry.
"So, the anti-Cang faction was really wiped out by Yang Ding's children?"
Drink!
The sudden voice made Lu Zheng startled, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a tall middle-aged man in front of him staring at a pair of tiger eyes, not angry and arrogant.
"Smack!"
Seeing that Lu Zheng didn't answer his question for the first time, the middle-aged man immediately slapped him on the table.
The table shattered, and the eyes of everyone in the hall converged.
Lu Zheng bared his teeth. If he hadn't flashed fast, he would have been overwhelmed by the soup and food by this time.
"I said you ...... "Want to fight?"
Before Lu Zheng finished speaking, he saw a gentle beauty walk out behind the middle-aged man.
Although the beauty is beautiful, there is a trace of vicissitudes in her eyes, and she should not look young.
I saw that the beauty gently patted the man's shoulder, and immediately made the latter's momentum go away.
"I'm sorry, he's a bad temper. We didn't have any ill intentions, we just wanted to know who the enemy who killed Qiu Feng was. β
Lu Zheng's heart jumped, and a trace of inspiration crossed by, and he said tentatively: "Could it be that the two of you are Senior Kuang and Senior Gu?"
Gu Xintong smiled and nodded, and asked, "Do you know us?"
The letter from the head of the house said. β
Hearing this, Kuang Tianqi's eyes were a little unkind, he didn't have a good impression of the kid in front of him, and he always felt that the little white face in front of him was the same as Duan Qiufeng's old white face, which was destined to divert Gu Xintong's attention.
