Chapter 5: Worst-Case Scenario
In front of Longhu Village, a small river winds around the hill, outlining this dreamlike and fascinating river bay.
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the world, as if it also cared for it.
In the middle of the bay, there is a small shoal.
Zhang Zhuo squatted on the shallows like this, his fingers kept gesturing in the water, and he didn't know whether he was playing in the water under the moon or catching the moon in the water......
Longhu Village is surrounded by mountains on one side and water on the other.
At the other end of the village, a young Taoist priest dressed in a cyan Taoist robe and wearing a hat stood with a sword under the archway at the entrance of the village.
And the sword held in his chest is the sword of inheritance of Zhang Tianshi in the past dynasties, slashing the evil male and female double sword.
"Xu Baozheng, a small Dragon and Tiger Village, has seen Daoist Ye."
As soon as he completed Zhang Zhuo's many orders, Xu Baozheng hurried to the entrance of the village, but who knew that he was still a step too late.
Xu Baozheng secretly scolded in his heart: "Damn, why is this Ye Yunjiao again!" Every year when I come to Longhu Village, in addition to holding a sword to show off my might, I like to look for nothing to do in the village, if he catches something, I will be unlucky again. ”
Sure enough, Ye Yunjiao looked at Xu Baozheng with a non-yin expression, and said slowly: "It turned out to be Lord Baozheng, it is really a noble person who is so busy, it seems that my Heavenly Master's Mansion has done this too much." ”
Xu Baozheng saw that Ye Yunjiao moved out of the mountain of the Heavenly Master's Mansion as soon as he opened his mouth, and knew that he would never give up, so after thinking about it, he had to grit his teeth and take out a jade box from his arms, hold it carefully with both hands, and hand it to Ye Yunjiao respectfully.
Ye Dao was angry, Longhu Village had been blessed by the Heavenly Master's Mansion for generations, and the whole village was grateful. These two silver flying grasses are just to thank Daoist Ye for his hard work, and ask Daoist Ye not to dislike them......"
Xu Baozheng's heart hurt, but he didn't dare to show half a point on his face, this hard-won silver flying grass was originally wanted to be bought by the Wang Steward of the Heavenly Master's Mansion Alchemy Hall, but now it is cheaper This Ye Yunjiao, it is really hateful.
Ye Yunjiao had long known that this old guy must have good things, these villagers of Longhu Village, who had lived here for generations, could be said to know better than himself about the growth places of some rare elixirs in Longhu Mountain.
Immediately opened the jade box quietly, and was overjoyed, the larger silver flying grass was almost thirty years old, it seemed that he could finally ask Xie Danshi to refine a furnace of Qi Gathering Pill for himself, presumably breaking through to the seventh layer of Qi refining was just around the corner.
Don't look at him as the eldest disciple of Zhang Dun Futian, but he knows his fate too well.
The ancestors of the Zhang family said that the position of the heavenly master is passed on to the descendants, not to the disciples.
Don't look at the fact that everyone is respectful when they see him now, it's all for the sake of Master's face.
If Master is gone one day, I'm afraid no one will look at him again.
In this case, why don't you take advantage of the fact that you still have some power and get more benefits?
Only cultivation is one's own, and the rest is just a passing moment......
What fox fairy, what mortal, what does it matter to me?
"Hmm...... Yes, yes, Xu Baozheng has a heart! Ye Yunjiao finally suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, nodded with satisfaction, looked around, found a stone and sat down, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Xu Baozheng was dumbfounded, what kind of routine is this?
If you don't do anything after taking something, you don't even plan to enter the village gate?
Thinking of this, Xu Baozheng raised his hand and gave himself a mouthful.
is even more ruthless than beating his uncompetitive son.
Most of them were suffering from heartlessness, and they actually sent someone up the mountain to inform Huzi of the murder.
Most of the people who delivered the letter met this Ye Yunjiao, no wonder he was so abnormal today, he didn't even enter the village gate, and I also sent the silver flying grass to him for nothing......
Xu Baozheng was so angry that he almost got internal injuries.
Ye Yunjiao, who was originally looking at his nose and nose and heart, was also shocked by Xu Baozheng's actions, looked at Xu Baozheng's guilty appearance, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Lord Baozheng doesn't have to worry, this Taoist is not a person who cares." ”
Xu Baozheng: "......"
Looking at the moon in the sky, a little silver shine in the Dragon and Tiger Mountain.
A thin little girl, carrying a basket more than half a person high, tiptoed forward in the mountains and forests.
She was not a stranger, nor was she afraid, because she had come here countless times in the company of her brother, picking medicine, playing, and digging wild vegetables......
The eldest brother told himself that when the moonlight was at its brightest today, it was possible for his brother's soul to return to the happiest place in his life......
The fat girl wants to ...... her brother Little by little, I got it back......
It is said that moonlight is a girl's dream.
The fat girl felt a little dazed, but she didn't dare to fall asleep, so she let Thorn Teng'er puncture her ankle to wake herself up.
"Girl, why are you so careless...... Come, in the future, you will have my brother carrying you when you walk at night......"
A crystal teardrop slipped down the fat girl's thin little face.
"Brother...... Fat girl found you......"
The fat girl carefully squatted down, gently plucked the thorn vine, and put it in the back basket behind her......
On the river beach, Huzi's body lay quietly like this.
Xu Baozheng rushed to this place with a scolding, a little surprised in his heart.
Of course, he didn't dare to ask.
Because Zhang Zhuo is on the side.
He didn't even know how to explain to the adult in front of him.
"Your Excellency...... The little incompetent, Daoist Ye Yunjiao of the Heavenly Master's Mansion has already arrived at the entrance of the village, but he seems to be reluctant to enter the village, let alone come here...... Please forgive me...... "Xu Baozheng is like a frosted eggplant.
"Oh?" Zhang Zhuo raised his eyebrows, a little unexpected.
In fact, his biggest reliance today is the sword that slashes the evil male and female, this is the sword of the ancestor back then, the legendary psychic sword.
In his opinion, this Ye Dao Chang is reluctant to enter the village, there are only two possibilities. The first possibility is that the Heavenly Master's Mansion has noticed the clues of the fox fairy and has other arrangements for it, and the second possibility is to coax it.
Of course, Zhang Zhuo prefers the second option.
Because when he learned that there was no Male and Female Swords present tonight, he himself was almost intimidated.
Zhang Zhuo is accustomed to doing his best before doing things, preparing for the worst, and not betting all on luck.
What if Zhang Dunfu encountered a strong enemy in the Shifu one day and recalled the two swords?
It's just that he never expected that it was Ye Yunjiao, a coward, who cheated himself.
Fortunately, yesterday, he broke through the fourth layer of qi refining by chance.
In fact, when the Xuanwu Vermilion Bird fought in the dantian that day, the spiritual power in Zhang Zhuo's body had already reached the limit of the third layer of qi refining, but if he wanted to continue to break through, he always felt that there was a lack of opportunity.
Why is it so difficult to break through the small realm? For a while, he thought it was because he didn't have a good cultivation method.
Zhang Zhuo now thinks back that if he had forced a breakthrough with abundant aura at that time, it might not have been possible.
But why did Master Zu happen to speak at this time? It shows that it is not advisable to make a forced breakthrough, and if the foundation is damaged, the gains outweigh the losses.
From the third layer of gas refining to the fourth layer of gas refining, don't look at the difference between only one layer, only after the breakthrough can you know the big gap between the two.
You must know that the third layer of qi refining is still in the early stage of qi refining, and the fourth layer of qi refining has been promoted to the middle stage of qi refining, and the breakthrough of the small realm makes the spiritual power in the monk's body deeper and more condensed, and the power of spell casting is not the same.
What's more, Zhang Zhuo's dantian in his body is special, and it has already intersected with water and fire. The moment he broke through the middle stage of Qi refining, the spiritual power cyclone visibly expanded by one point to the naked eye, and the two colors of spiritual power, one blue and one red, actually became a mixture of water and milk.
After many attempts, Zhang Zhuo found that now, with the blessing of the general outline of "Zhengyi Baolu", the spiritual power of water and fire in his body can be transformed at will, which has many wonderful uses.
The most important thing is that after reaching the middle stage of Qi refining, Zhang Zhuo is already qualified to learn a first-grade mid-level talisman recorded in the "Zhengyi Fu Chapter", called "Please Divine Rune".
According to the division of the cultivation realm of the immortal cultivation realm, the Fu Qi must also rely on the corresponding cultivation strength to be able to do it.
Qi refining, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, Shenhua, refining void, merging, Mahayana, crossing, and realm strength correspond to the first, second, and third grades respectively...... Up to the highest nine-rank talisman.
And the early, middle and late stages in the same realm also correspond to the grades of the talismans, which are the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.
Not only talismans, but also alchemy, refining, formations, and so on are roughly divided into such divisions.
According to common sense, as the realm rises, the talismans that can be made will inevitably become more and more powerful.
But there is a difference between the constant, and this rune cannot be defined according to common sense at all.
This is because the Divine Rune is a unique talisman of the Heavenly Master, and the power of this talisman is closely related to the strength of the requested deity, the bloodline of the caster, and the environment in which the caster is located.
The reason why it is classified as a first-grade mid-level stream is mainly because the lowest cultivation realm for drawing this talisman is the middle stage of qi refining.
In fact, this talisman is strong when it is strong, and the stronger the cultivation of the person who makes the talisman, the greater the power often becomes, and even this talisman once became a means for Zhang Tianshi to press the bottom of the box in the past dynasties.
The Zhang family naturally does not want to make their hole cards public, so they are also happy to divide the runes into a middle-level rune.
In the final analysis, this is Zhang Zhuo's "worst plan", and it is another big reliance for him to dare to risk himself.
Now that the decision has been made, Zhang Zhuo is no longer entangled, and begins to make the final preparations, without looking back: "Remember what I said, let the fat girl do it." ”
Hearing this, Xu Baozheng's face was very exciting, and heaven and man were at war in his heart.
Didn't this adult hear what I said, or did I not make it clear so that the adults misunderstood, how should I say it to let the adults know that Daoist Ye will not come tonight......
Zhang Zhuo saw that Xu Baozheng didn't react for a long time, so he had to stop the movement in his hand and turned around: "Huh? Didn't you hear what I said? Or are you going to stay here for a while? ”
"No, no, no...... I'll leave right away...... I'll leave ...... right away" Xu Baozheng was so frightened that he shivered, jumped onto the boat with a rolling belt, and desperately pulled the two wooden oars without looking back......
