Volume 5: The First Song 426: The Story of the Gentleman (Part II)
Before continuing with Zhang Yi's story, let's briefly talk about the torture.
After he was caught in Tang Ping's illusion in Dacangze, he was asked a lot by Tang Ping with his mind interrogation technique, this person also became a disciple of the inner hall of the Nine Xuancheng Instrument Hall in the Qi refining stage, and he was also famous for a while, but when he entered the inner hall, he was relatively much later than Qian Chao, so it can be seen that his talent in refining weapons is still a distance from Qian Chao, and after becoming a disciple of the inner hall, Xing Rang couldn't help but be tempted to start refining evil weapons, and one of the necessary things needed to refine evil weapons is the soul of the monk, Therefore, Xing Rang embarked on a road of no return, and he was targeted by another Chongling Blood Cultivator hidden in the sect, who secretly watched Xing Rang's actions for a long time before appearing, and successfully made Xing Rang his disciple under the lure.
As mentioned earlier, the name of the Jiudan Chongling Blood Cultivator who lured and tortured him was Ganbu, and this person was famous for his Five Elements Spells in Jiuxuan, and even before his identity was revealed, he was respected as the master of Xuanxiu in Jiuxuan.
After Gan Bu broke the torture to refine the evil weapon, he forced him to go to the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall to steal a book called "The Secret of the Secret of the Trick", this book records how to enter the cold pool, but in fact, the book stolen by the torture is a broken book, the cold pool has a total of seven layers, this book only records the entry method of one to six layers, but the seventh layer of the entry method is not, this Gan Bu did not know before, he only found out after the book was stolen, and he had no choice but to hope and torture, He felt that there might be a way for him to find a way to enter the seventh layer of the Cold Water Pool, after all, as a Jiedan monk, Ganbu had no way to go deep into the Cold Water Pool.
On the seventh layer of the cold water pool, the Ancient Fierce Beast Chaos was sealed, and Gan Bu did this to let the torturer take a drop of Chaos Blood from there, so that he could use this drop of blood to give himself the power to be close to that Ancient Fierce Beast, even if he ascended to the Immortal in the future, it would be easy to go, and this was what all Chongling Blood cultivators dreamed of.
Ganbu's idea was very good, but unfortunately he underestimated Chengqitang, although he didn't attract the attention of Chengqitang when he lured Xingrang, but what Xingrang did was still suspected by Chengqitang, and later it was verified that Xingrang was refining evil weapons, and then Chengqitang also directly broke his relationship with Xingrang, which also led to the death of Ganbu in the cold pool.
As a spiritual blood cultivator of the monk Jiedan, the death of Ganbu, Zhang Yi's master will inevitably know, and what Ganbu's plan before his death is, Zhang Yi's master does not know, but it is not difficult to know, what is needed is nothing more than patience and silent inquiry, after a period of time that is not long but not short, Zhang Yi's master finally made up Ganbu's plan from a large amount of information obtained in fragments, and when he figured out this, he couldn't help but feel his heart pounding, Unexpectedly, Gambu's plan was to obtain the blood of the ancient fierce beast Chaos, if this really made his hand, then Gambu could be regarded as a success in the Chongling blood cultivation, although Gambu failed, but he laid a very good foundation before he died, especially when he accepted a disciple who was expected to achieve his wish, and the punishment also took root in the cold pool.
So what's next?
Do you continue to hide yourself and stay out of the situation, or take advantage of the opportunity to make up for the death of Gambu?
Zhang Yi's master was caught in a contradiction.
On the one hand, the Five Spirits Sect will inevitably keep an eye on the cold water pool, Gan Bu was killed on the spot, and the people of the Five Spirits Sect will not be able to get anything from his mouth, but they will definitely not give up in the future, they must also know that there is still Chongling Blood Cultivation hidden in the sect, so they will definitely try their best to dig out the Chongling Blood Cultivation with it, and at this time, it is too risky to take over what Gan Bu has not done;
On the other hand, what is forbidden in the cold pool is the ancient fierce beast Chaos, although it has the name of a fierce beast, but the chaos is definitely at the level of the ancient true spirit, if you can get a drop of its blood, the benefits to Zhang Yi's master are undoubtedly huge, it is what he has always dreamed of and can't ask for, if he gives up because of danger, it is a pity!
What to do?
After thinking about the contradiction for a long time, Zhang Yi's master finally decided to send Zhang Yi out, and let Zhang Yi try to connect with the torturer in the cold pool, but he himself did not come forward, only hiding behind his back to control all this, and he also asked Zhang Yi to tell the torturer that as long as he could get the blood of chaos, then he could let the three of them get this great benefit, of course, this was also said to Zhang Yi.
The reason why I asked Zhang Yi to do it was because of Zhang Yi's identity, although Zhang Yi did not have any sense of belonging to the Wuling Zhang family, and he was full of hatred, but after all, he was the son of the Zhang family, and he was a big man with an absolutely deep background in the sect, no one would have thought that such a character would become a Chongling blood cultivator, and in addition, after several years of training, Zhang Yi has become more and more calm and cautious, and it should be more than enough to deal with such a scene.
After that, Zhang Yi secretly looked for the punishment in the cold water pool, there is no need to repeat the details, after some twists and turns, Zhang Yi finally met with the punishment, and the punishment was also in a desperate situation at that time, and it was naturally a good thing for him to get the help of another Chongling blood cultivator who was cultivating for him, so he agreed, and in this way, for a short period of time, the punishment and Zhang Yi were secretly in contact.
And then the money was involved.
Zhang Yi only heard the name Qian Chao later, but he began to be not interested in the so-called refining genius who emerged from Jiuxuan, after experiencing the benefits of becoming a Chongling blood cultivator, he eagerly hoped that the torturer could successfully obtain the blood of chaos one day later, as long as he could have that powerful power through the blood of chaos, he would have to make his father pay the price for abandoning his mother back then, although he couldn't talk about killing his father, but at least he had to punish him fiercely, so that he could repent in front of his mother's grave, Then give his mother an official name.
It's a pity that the progress of the prison camp is too slow, and for many years, there has been almost no progress.
Although Zhang Yi was in a hurry, he was almost ignorant of the art of formation, rune learning and other knowledge, so he could only be anxious, and at the same time, his master was in a hurry.
The next is that the five people of Qian Chao have become the people who have been discussed in the sect again and again, and the five of them have gradually shown their prominence in the sect, Zhang Yi heard from the mouth of the prisoner that Wen Liang wants to deal with Qian Chao and these people, and he also persuaded the prisoner to stay out of the matter at that time, but Wen Liang's statement is that he has a way to make the prisoner enter the seventh layer of the cold pool, and in desperation, Zhang Yi can only give up.
And then the later things have already appeared before, the tide of Cold Spring Valley, the punishment and Wen Liang failed, and then Wen Liang decided to get rid of Qian Chao because his plan was destroyed, and then after the move, he passed through the Ten Thousand Arrows Forest, Broken Star Lake, Da Cangze, Hanging Corpse Valley, and finally the Great Meadow, in this process, the punishment gave and Wen Liang step by step and completely defeated and lost, among them, the torture let in the Hanging Corpse Valley first because of the formation of Qian Chao and was hit by the bee venom, and then was cut off by a Mu Xiufeng sword cultivator named Li Jian, and fled back to the Cold Spring Valley, And that Wen Liang chased to the big meadow and tried to fight to the death, but was not only defeated but also lost a glance, and finally fled.
After the news came, Zhang Yi felt a little frightened in shock.
He was shocked that Qian Chao's five little guys had such strength, and what made him afraid was that once he was captured, he would fall into a very dangerous situation, and his master was also facing this danger.
Later, it was close to the "Chengguan Grace Test" once every ten years in the sect, but the rest of the sects except for Mu Yang Sect also came to the Five Spirits Sect at this time to perform a hundred years of worship, that is, during that period, he saw the means of Qian Chao, and that kid actually completely sealed the cold water pool with the formation technique after Hua Cheng secretly entered the cold water pool!
After feeling the fear, Zhang Yi also found his master and asked him to secretly get rid of Qian Chao, well, Zhang Yi's master also had this plan, but he quickly gave up, first, he found that it was almost impossible to get rid of Qian Chao, because the Five Spirits Sect had secretly sent people to protect him, as long as he did it, not only could he not kill Qian Chao, but he would also expose himself; Second, Zhang Yi's master also realized that what was happening now was actually the Five Spirits Sect using Qian Chao to probe the hidden spiritual blood cultivation in the sect.
However, there is also a prisoner who does not know life and death in the cold pool, Zhang Yi's master expected that there would be a big move in the cold pool next, he inquired about Qian Chao carefully, and after knowing some things, he felt that the form was becoming more and more bad, Qian Chao, this kid is very talented in the study of runes, and it stands to reason that for a small qi refining disciple like him who has no teacher, his methods are too amazing, and many disciples with a teacher are not as good as him, so ...... There must be a mysterious figure behind Qian Chao who is teaching him, and this mysterious figure is probably not a Jiedan monk in the sect, based on Zhang Yi's master's many years of experience in the Five Spirits Sect, he doesn't think that any of these Jiedan monks in the sect can teach Qian Chao like this, and if Jiedan monk teaches Qian Chao, then it will be better to simply accept him as a disciple, but the decree from Yuhu Mountain is not allowed to any Jiuxuan Jiedan monk to accept Qian Chao as a disciple, then this is very obvious.
Zhang Yi's master looked up and looked up when he figured this out, of course he didn't know about Mr. Zhuang, so he expected that the people behind him who taught Qian Chao must be those old guys on Yuhu Mountain, so that everything at the moment could be explained clearly.
So Zhang Yi's master thought of his own countermeasures, that is...... Escape!
Of course, nominally not to escape, but to go out and travel, he also deliberately hinted that the other monks had received definite information and were going to find a treasure somewhere outside, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.
As for the news in the sect, in the Five Spirits Sect, there are other spiritual blood cultivators hidden, and what happens in the future, Zhang Yi's master can know from the news passed by those people.
In fact, he has another way to relieve his crisis, that is, to get rid of Zhang Yi quietly, before he asked Zhang Yi to find the torture concession, he repeatedly warned that he must not say his name to the torture concession, and with his understanding of Zhang Yi, it is expected that Zhang Yi will not disobey his order, that is, as long as Zhang Yi dies, he is safe, even if the Five Spirits Sect finally catches the torture concession, because Zhang Yi is missing, the key person will not be able to find his head in the end.
But he didn't do it, first, he has been a master and apprentice for many years, although he is a secret master and apprentice, he also has a little bit of master-apprentice affection, he is a little unbearable; The second is that if Xing Rang dies in the cold pool, then it will be redundant for him to kill Zhang Yi, if Xing Rang died long ago because of his injuries, then even if the Five Spirits Sect completely bans the cold water pool from now on, it will only be a lost opportunity for their master and apprentice, but it is still safe after all, in that case, he can return to the Five Spirits Sect again.
Therefore, Zhang Yi's master did not choose to kill Zhang Yi, but fled, he can't be caught, once he is caught, he will definitely not be able to survive the interrogation of the Five Spirits Sect, so that the Chongling Blood Cultivator will suffer a major setback that has never been before, he can only escape, and the rest of the sect will depend on Zhang Yi alone.
And Zhang Yi has only one plan, that is, to get rid of the tide of money.
Chongling blood cultivation and secretly from Yingzhou monks are linked, this will be mentioned later, it is because of the relationship between Chongling blood cultivation and Yingzhou monks, Zhang Yi wanted to get rid of Qian Chao when he unexpectedly got the help of the ram from Yingzhou to Zhongzhou, he thought he could succeed, but he didn't expect the ram to flee in front of Qian Chao, it is said that he almost lost his life, if it wasn't for the ram to destroy a heavy treasure given by the elders to save his life, he would have died in the Five Spirits Sect.
In desperation, Zhang Yi could only revert to the sect.
For so many years, Zhang Yi has been low-key, he is different from Jing Jie, different from people like Feng You, and almost all the big gentlemen, those people have their own people to rely on, and many things are done for them, and he has always been cautious in his master's teachings, and he does not want to attract attention, so when he wants to get rid of Qian Chao, he faces the embarrassment that no one is available, so he can only make a fuss about Jing Ji's affairs, as long as Zong Yan can be determined to deal with Qian Chao, then there may be hope.
That's why he took advantage of the opportunity of Zong Fang to invite everyone to deliberately compose poems to anger Zong Fang.
At the same time, he also knew Lou Qingyao's purpose, this woman insisted on staying in Wuling Sect to compete with Tang Ping for a Qingluan, no matter whether Zong Fang would deal with Qian Chao because of Jing Ji's matter, Lou Qingyao would always conflict with Tang Ping because of Qingluan in the end, and provoking a Tang Ping would be equivalent to messing with Tang Ping's five people, including Qian Chao, so from this point of view, he and Lou Qingyao can cooperate more, Lou Qingyao is a key person who can influence Zongfang, and things are as he expected, he has already talked with Lou Qingyao secretly, A lot of things have been finalized, but ...... Zhang Yi became a little wary of this woman after that conversation, and he always felt that Lou Qingyao seemed to be able to see through him, which made him feel panicked.
In addition, there is Huan Property, and he is also thinking of a way.
As for Feng You, he really didn't pay attention to it, in Zhang Yi's opinion, Feng You is a complete drunkard, and it is difficult to achieve great things.
Next is Lin Jian, Lin Jian was stopped by Tang Ping and others because he wanted to deal with Shangguan Hong, Lin Jian lost a lot of money that time, and one of his cousins in his family was killed, he must have hated those five people to the bone, and he should also have a chance.
Just when Zhang Yi was constantly plotting to win over people, he heard a news that Qian Chao and the others had gone out again, and this time they went to a forbidden place outside the sect.
They lost looking for Qingluan, Zhang Yi understood, and at the same time, he also knew that Lou Qingyao must be extremely nervous about this!
For Zhang Yi, this is an opportunity that can be exploited.
