Chapter 7 Opportunity
A group of men, you look at me, I look at you, with an unbelievable look on their faces. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The big man who spoke was a little anxious and said: "I tell you, don't believe it, I went there with a group of officers and soldiers, and when I saw that there were no living people there, there were twenty or thirty corpses on the ground. I picked up a sword while the soldiers were cleaning up the corpses, do you know what I saw?"
He asked in a mysterious whisper, seeing that everyone was staring at him.
Zhang Ling put a vinegar peanut in his mouth, but he slowed down his movements and listened intently to the big man's speech.
Seeing that his words had attracted everyone's attention, the big man said in a low voice: "You would never have thought that I saw a pattern on that sword, a pattern that does not belong to our Yue Kingdom. ”
"What kind of pattern is it?" everyone was aroused by his curiosity, and seeing that he was mysterious, they couldn't help but ask urgingly.
The big man gestured with his hand and said, "A circle, inside the circle is a strange pattern, and in the middle is a moon figure engraved!"
Zhang Ling's hand that was about to drink suddenly shook, and then the wine glass shook slightly, caught the spilled wine, and drank it quietly. But there were many doubts in my heart, and I doubted the identity of the brother and sister.
A circle, representing heaven and earth, a strange pattern, is the pattern of a yin and yang flower, and there is a moon pattern in the middle.
This is the totem of Western religion!
Xijiao is one of the state religions of the Xia Kingdom, and the reason why it is said to be one is because there is also a Xia religion.
In the four kingdoms of the Qinglan Domain, the Yue Kingdom is still martial, the Ming State is still political, and the Jin State is still Shang, but the Xia Kingdom is strange, and religion and imperial power are one. It's just that more than 400 years ago, for some reason, the Xixia Religion, the state religion of the Xia Kingdom, suddenly split and became the Western Religion and the Xia Religion.
The totem of the Xixia Sect was a circle, the pattern of yin and yang flowers, and the sun and moon in the middle.
After the split, the Western religion used the original totem, but only erased the day, and only the existence of the moon. And the Xia Sect is the existence of only the sun in the middle, and the totem of the former Western Xia Sect is no longer there.
Zhang Ling once thought about the identity of the brother and sister, but he didn't expect that they would be noble to that extent.
The weapons worn by soldiers in ordinary armies are mostly national totems, such as the totem of Yue is a burning phoenix. And the totem of the Xia Kingdom is Benzi, and the totem of the Western Religion like the one said by the Great Han can only be possessed by the guardians of the Western Religion, and ordinary believers are not qualified to tattoo the totem on the weapon.
What is the existence of the Guardian Guards? Compared to the existence of the Imperial Forest Army, the people who can mobilize these people must be the actual rulers of the Western Religion, and in a huge sect, there are only a few people who can mobilize these Guardian Guards.
Thinking about it, Zhang Ling became more curious about the identity of the brother and sister.
He paid for the wine and left the wine shop, perhaps because he brought back so many corpses during the day, some people in Yecheng were panicked, and the vendors also accepted it early, so it was not enough to be empty, and there was no one on the street early.
Zhang Ling did not go back to the inn immediately, but wandered slowly on the street, thinking about everything since he left the South China Sea.
It has been more than three months since he left Nanhai at the beginning of March and Biyi City in the second half of March, and it has been two months since he was separated from Zhang Yao, although he is still the same as before, but he knows that he is actually a little confused in his heart.
The confusion about the future and the melancholy of separation made him a little depressed.
Although he had already decided to take that path, he was a monk after all, and he could imagine how difficult the battle would be in the future.
That's it, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain, as long as the cultivation is not embellished, and when he and Zhang Yao get through this catastrophe, then the sea and the sky will be wide in the future, won't they follow him? Not to mention, they will have to find their mother.
Zhang Ling's heart calmed down, and he missed Zhang Yao a little, and he didn't know what happened to her at this time. However, Zhang Yao has always been more stable than him, I'm afraid Zhang Yao is more worried about him, right?
Thinking about it, I suddenly laughed.
"This friend is really leisurely, and it is also a pleasure to walk under the moon. ”
Zhang Ling was losing his mind, and suddenly heard a voice behind him, his body tensed instantly, and he turned to look at the person.
This is a young man of twenty-three or four, shaking a folding fan in his hand, and the folding fan is also painted with lotus flowers, he is wearing a navy blue robe, his long hair is tied up with a golden crown, and there is a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes make Zhang Ling a little disliked.
"Below, I just saw your Excellency in the wine shop, and was overwhelmed by your gesture of holding the wine in one hand, so I took the liberty to come and want to make friends with you, what do you think?"
Zhang Ling's eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous smell, which was just fleeting and passing through the night.
"But the carving insect is a small skill, just practice a few more times. At this time, the moonlight is just right, and I still have to step on the moon to find incense, so I will say goodbye. Zhang Ling replied lightly, and then left.
This Fang Letong looked well-dressed, but there was an evil in his eyes, which was unpleasant, although he tried his best to show friendship, but the moment Zhang Ling turned around, he saw the greed in his eyes that he had not yet exhausted, this kind of person has always been synonymous with trouble, it is better to leave as far as he can.
"Wait!" Fang Letong shouted, he walked up to Zhang Ling and looked at the young man in front of him with interest.
The cloth clothes do not hide his luxury, and he is like a fairy in the moonlight.
It's an interesting young man, if it weren't for the incident, I could take him back to the teacher's door.
Fang Letong thought secretly, but when he thought of the unattainable woman, he hated Zhang Ling in his heart.
Zhang Ling couldn't understand what this person's eyes were thinking, but it was getting late, and he didn't want to stay here for a long time, so he frowned and said, "I don't know what else is going on with Your Excellency?
"If you want to say that there is something, if you want to say that there is nothing, there is nothing. Fang Letong shook his fan, put away the expression on his face and asked, "The woman in yellow who is with you, what is your relationship?"
Zhang Ling was uneasy, a little disgusted with this man who had been pestering, and he was no longer polite when he spoke.
"That's just a little maid of mine, farewell. After Zhang Ling finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Stop, did I let you go?" Fang Le dodged in the same way, blocking in front of Zhang Ling again. He looked indifferent and said with a hint of sneering: "Little girl, you dare to say it! I don't know who gave you the guts!"
Zhang Ling's face became more and more cold and said: "Whoever gives you the courage has nothing to do with Your Excellency, and whether I want to leave or not has nothing to do with Your Excellency." ”
After saying that, he left Fang Letong in a flash, but saw that Fang Letong was still chasing after him relentlessly.
And that Fang Le's method is weird, and the speed is extremely fast. Zhang Ling was surprised in his heart, he knew that the traceless step he had cultivated was a top-level body method, although he had only cultivated to the third step, and there was still a long way to go before the nine-step ascension to the sky, but it was already very powerful, and people in the same realm as him would definitely not be able to catch up with him.
It seems that he underestimated this person, this person came after Yu Ziyu, presumably from the same place, but listening to his question, he was not very familiar with the characters around Yu Ziyu. What can this person carry on his body to shield his cultivation, Zhang Ling can't see his depth, if this person also catches up with him with his body, then it is not a matter of worry, if it is based on cultivation, then it is necessary to mention twelve points of caution.
As everyone knows, he was surprised, and Fang Letong was even more surprised.
This young man looked no more than fifteen or sixteen, and he looked delicate and handsome, but he didn't expect his cultivation to be so terrifying.
Fang Letong has the jade pendant refined by his master on his body, this jade pendant can hide his cultivation, but Zhang Ling does not have such a thing on his body, but he still can't see through his cultivation, then there is only one possibility, that is, Zhang Ling's cultivation is higher than his own!
Thinking of this, Fang Le was a little jealous, this wild boy from nowhere, he had never seen him in the various sects, he was still taller than him at such a young age, not to mention that he was so close to the goddess in his heart!
Thinking of the scene he saw at the city gate during the day, Fang Letong was furious, and even asked the goddess in his heart to lead the horse for him! Damn! And at this time, he was desperately chasing after him, but the gray figure was still getting farther and farther away! Fang Letong stopped, his eyes gloomy and terrifying. He looked at the bright moon in the sky, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Ling was relieved to see that Fang Letong had finally been thrown off. If you really want to fight him, Zhang Ling is not afraid, and he is even a little eager to try, but the two brothers and sisters of Ming Xu were seriously injured, Yu Ziyu spent his mind for them, and his combat effectiveness was sharply reduced, while He Guang only had the cultivation in the early stage of meditation, and if he was injured again at this time, then their situation would be even worse.
It's getting late today, and tomorrow Yecheng will inevitably issue an order to close the city, and if there are any more waves at that time, they must have a fighting force.
Hmph! Let Fang Letong be free for a while, and when Ming Xu and the two are healed, they can leave Yecheng, since Fang Letong is here for Yu Ziyu, he will definitely not give up, and he is afraid that there will be no battle at that time?
Zhang Ling was excited in his heart, he only knew how to cultivate all these years, and his opponent was only Zhang Yao, and the two of them knew each other's cultivation techniques well, and in the end, they both ended up losing and losing, and it was really boring to fight for more than ten years.
He went up to the second floor, but saw that the light in Yu Ziyu's room was still on, so he thought for a moment and knocked on the door.
Yu Ziyu heard the knock on the door, so she got up to open the door, but saw Zhang Ling standing at the door in a coarse cloth shirt, her face was still a little red, she turned her head to look at Mingyue who was sleeping, and walked out to close the door.
"Why have you been here for so long?" she asked softly.
Zhang Ling nodded and said, "If you encounter a little trouble on the road, it's nothing." I heard that the bodies of those black-clothed people have been pulled back, and it doesn't seem to be from Yueguo, I think Yecheng will be closed tomorrow, and the city director of Yecheng can't report this matter. ”
"It's just a murder case, how can Ye Cheng not be able to take care of it?" Yu Ziyu asked with some curiosity, her big eyes blinking, but revealing a trace of exhaustion.
Zhang Ling said in a deep voice: "That's the people of the Xia Kingdom Western Sect, and those black-clothed people are all Guardian Palace Guards!" Saying that, he listened intently to the movements of the two rooms, Ming Xu and the two of them were asleep, and He Guang's breathing was a little slight, but it was calm and powerful, long and long, and he was obviously cultivating.
"The guardians of the Xia Kingdom chased down the Yue Kingdom to kill people, and this matter is their internal strife. If it is too serious, it will cause a war between the two countries. The people of the Western religion did not hesitate to assassinate the people who wanted to get rid of them, but they disappeared inexplicably in the territory of the Yue country, and if there were more guidance from those who were interested in this matter, it would cause war between the two countries, and it would be the common people who would suffer. ”
Zhang Ling's heart was a little heavy, but he knew that something had happened, so there was no reason to retreat, people were saved anyway, as long as the traces were erased, they should not be suspected.
Yu Ziyu didn't know that his momentary kindness would bring such a big trouble to Zhang Ling, and said with some guilt in his heart: "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would cause such serious consequences." ”
Zhang Ling's face was slightly warm, and he smiled and said: "You don't have to blame yourself, you are right, it is right to draw a knife to help when you see injustice, and as for the consequences, it is necessary to realize the righteous heart first and then think about it." He touched Yu Ziyu's little head, and saw that she did not object, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even worse.
"What's more, war will always start, even if this is not the fuse, then there will always be another fuse in the future, which cannot be controlled by manpower, as long as we are worthy of our hearts. If you don't save them today, maybe they will become a demonic obstacle to your cultivation in the future, so if that's the case, then just follow your heart. As for the consequences, since you have done it, then bear it!"
He explained softly, not only for Yu Zi, but also for himself.
Yu Ziyu nodded, and his face calmed down.
"By the way, why don't you sleep so late? Didn't you say I want you to rest early?" Zhang Ling said angrily.
But seeing Yu Ziyu's face turned red, he snorted: "I saw you go out by yourself, and I was a little worried." ”
Zhang Ling Yile said twice, but he didn't speak.
Seeing him like this, Yu Ziyu's face turned even redder, and he snorted lightly and opened the door and entered the room, and as soon as the back door closed, Zhang Ling was thrown in the aisle.
She poured herself a glass of water and drank it, and the flush on her face slowly went down.
Thinking of Zhang Ling stroking her hair just now, her heart was like a deer at that time, but she was molested by Zhang Ling, and she really felt like she wanted to dig a hole and get into it.
But when I thought of the senior brother I hadn't seen for several months, I felt a trace of guilt in my heart, the senior brother must have been very anxious when he couldn't find her for so long, but who let the senior brother control her so much! Thinking of this, Yu Ziyu's heart felt a trace of guilt that had finally risen up for his senior brother instantly turned into foam.
Let's say that Zhang Ling saw Yu Zi fleeing and left, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He entered his room, changed his clothes, and sat down cross-legged to cultivate, but his heart couldn't be still, and his hand seemed to have the feeling of brushing the smooth long hair just now.
With a faint fragrance, soft, like a cat's claw grasping somewhere in my heart.
When did you fall in love with Yu Ziyu? Zhang Ling himself was a little unclear, maybe it was the first time he saw her, when she was wearing a lilac dress, standing on top of the sea rocks, floating like a fairy, as if a gust of sea breeze was blowing and was about to ride away.
Or maybe when she stared at him with teeth and claws, she accidentally engraved that look in the bottom of her heart.
If it was originally because the woman in his dream was curious about Yu Ziyu, but later it was transformed into a liking for Yu Ziyu bit by bit.
She is ignorant of the world but she is clever and intelligent, and she is not good at cultivating but her cultivation is amazing.
She is a clever and eloquent person, but she is also a compassionate person, and she is really an outlier among the monks.
The closer a monk cultivates a heart, the closer he gets to Shinto, the calmer, or rather, the more indifferent. After all, the monk's lifespan is too long, and he has a lifespan of nearly three hundred years when he reaches the spiritual consummation like his father. With such a long lifespan, ordinary people may have been more than ten generations, and the relatives around them may not exist for a long time, but if they are still alive, maybe they will live longer if they make a breakthrough in cultivation.
The long life made the monk's heart colder and harder.
Who will remember the original love and blood? At that time, Yu Ziyu glanced at him and went out to save Ming Xu and the others, which touched Zhang Ling very much, and made him improve his state of mind cultivation.
He even vaguely felt the opportunity to break through!
In the realm of the underworld, then you can fly!
