Chapter 41: Retreat
Elder Shoushan stood quietly to the side, waiting for Zhang Zheng to come back to his senses.
Remembering that he had just inspected this place and saw the strange appearance of this disciple, his eyebrows were almost wrinkled into a straight line.
After a while, Zhang Zheng recovered from the near-death situation, and his dull gaze touched the elders on the side, and he suddenly sobered up a lot.
"Elder Xie rescues you."
If it weren't for him, Zhang Zheng couldn't imagine what he would become, whether he would be dominated by extreme guilt and self-hatred, and eventually self-destruction.
The Elder Shoushan frowned slightly, but still warned, "You have a demon. ”
"What exactly did you see in Little Hidden Mountain?"
The traces of Cao Ran's existence had completely disappeared, and the Elder Shoushan naturally thought that her situation was because of Xiao Yin Mountain.
Zhang Zheng looked stunned.
It's not easy to tell the sect about Cao Ran's coming here, it will involve too many things, related to something mysterious about her, something that the demon cultivator wants to get in every possible way.
Seeing that she seemed to have something unspeakable, Elder Shoushan stopped persecuting and sighed.
"Well, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. However, the demons in your heart are a big trouble after all, so you can do it yourself. ”
With that, he brushed his sleeves and left the place.
Demon ......
Although many monks face the threat of inner demons on the path of cultivation, with the process of realizing the enlightenment of the mind, often the inner demons are dissolved before they are revealed.
Zhang Zheng never thought that he would encounter the trouble of demons.
After standing in a daze for a long time, Zhang Zheng suddenly moved, burying a few broken black stone tokens on the ground not far away under the thick soil.
Then, she left the Thirteen Mountains.
She has too many distracting thoughts and too many troubles, so it is not suitable for her to enter Xiaoyin Mountain again, so she should go back to the cave and meditate.
……
Faming Mountain, a steep mountain wall, the grass and trees grow exceptionally tall and lush.
Occasionally, birds and insects chirp, and wild flowers of all colors are set along, which makes people happy when they look at it.
Suddenly, the grass and trees shook, and the next moment, a disciple struggled to pick up the dense weeds and poke a head out of it.
He glanced at the cave that was covered by weeds, and then picked up the wild grass that had grown wanton in front of the cave.
Stretched out his hand and carefully touched the prohibition of the cave, and waited for a long time, but the cave did not move.
He let out a long sigh and simply sat down on the ground, "Why is this Senior Sister Zhang still in retreat!" ”
It's been two years.
Two years ago, Wanxuanmen was once again a sensation, and Zhang Zheng, a disciple of Fahua Peak, successfully built a ninth-order spiritual platform.
At that time, he was envious and proud when he heard the news, after all, he was also a disciple of the Fahua lineage.
In this generation, before Zhang Zheng, there were four people in the sect who had built a ninth-order spiritual platform, but none of them were in their Fahua lineage.
Looking at the arrogant and ostentatious expressions of those disciples, as if they had built the ninth-order spiritual platform themselves, although he didn't seem to care on the surface, he was really envious and jealous in his heart.
When will they be able to produce a ninth-order spiritual platform, so that he can also show off arrogantly.
No, God is so favored, it really made his wish come true.
The excitement reached its peak when Elder Duan instructed him to go to Zhang Zheng and inform her that the elder wanted to accept her as a personal disciple.
With excitement and irrepressible mood, he uneasily found the front of Senior Sister Zhang's cave mansion, thinking that he would be able to get close to the genius in a while, and he was nervous and excited.
But the cave was closed, and Senior Sister Zhang didn't respond, it seemed that she was in retreat.
After that day, he came several times, and each time he came in high spirits and returned in defeat.
The excitement that was high at the beginning has long since died down.
Hey, he's been running for nothing for the ninth time, and he won't come to see it again.
Before leaving, the disciple looked back at the still closed cave mansion, and couldn't help but complain silently, "This Senior Sister Zhang, I'm afraid it's not to hide from the elders to accept apprentices." ”
He didn't expect that his casual guess was like a god, if Zhang Zheng knew, he would be surprised.
It's a pity that Zhang Zheng is indulging in cultivation and enlightenment at the moment, and he really doesn't know what he thinks.
Inside the cave.
Zhang Zheng maintains a posture of five hearts facing the sky, and his whole body is full of spiritual charm and aura.
But if you look closely, you will find that the abundant aura only floats on the surface of her body, and does not go inside.
In the past few years, she has read all the replicas of the Dao-related jade slips, but unfortunately, the content in them is far from what she expected.
Although there are some regrets, after all, I had expected that enlightenment would not be so easy.
The Huaifeng Continent has already had a decline in spiritual energy, and the cultivation of the True Realm has been rebuilt to ignore the cultivation of the Dao Heart, so even the Wanxuanmen, which is the first in the Xichuan Realm, is difficult to find the orthodox Dao Sutra.
sighed, it was not nothing, at least from a travelogue, Zhang Zheng knew that even if some heavenly and earthly treasures in this world were in his hands, they could not be used without the assistance of special conditions.
This is somewhat consistent with the ugly burning stick in her hand now.
It's a pity that although I know that there are special conditions to meet for using it, it is also a mystery why this special condition is.
Of course, what worries her the most now is not the burning stick, but the strange jasper in the dantian.
Because Jasper couldn't absorb spiritual energy, in order to save his life in the future, Zhang Zheng didn't dare to use more spiritual power at all.
As a result, even though she had a few spells in her hands, she couldn't practice them at all. I can only look at it and ponder it a few times in order to understand it thoroughly, and I will be able to understand it a little better when I cultivate in the future.
There was no point in staying in the cave any longer, Zhang Zheng simply lifted the ban and left the cave.
As soon as she left the cave, several messengers that had been waiting outside galloped towards her.
Zhang Zheng has seen them all.
Two of them were specially congratulated on her building the ninth-order spiritual platform.
One is Lin Yihan's, which is expected. The other letter surprised her, and the person who paid it was Lin Xiaoxiao.
Zhang Zheng recalled the experience of the first half of her life, and she didn't seem to have much intersection with this Senior Sister Lin.
If you have to intersect, it is nothing more than the fate of the council hall when you enter the inner door that day.
If you can't figure it out, you don't bother to think about it, just think that you are very charming, and you will be the first beauty of the sect at first sight.
Zhang Zheng was amused by his inexplicable thoughts, and laughed for a while.
There are also two messengers, one is Ye Qinghuan, and the other is Duan Wuwei.
Ye Qinghuan first congratulated her on building the foundation, and then asked her to fight, and said that she would accompany her at any time, and the time and place would be set by her.
Zhang Zheng pinched Ye Qinghuan's communication talisman, his eyes fell on the cascading distant mountains, and his expression was inexplicable.
What does this Senior Sister Ye mean?
For no reason, she remembered the rumors and rumors at the outer door a long time ago, remembered Senior Sister Ye's ridicule and contempt for her, and remembered the healing pill that Senior Sister Ye rudely poured into her mouth.
This Senior Sister Ye seems to have changed a little too much, but it is not boring.
Putting the three messengers into his storage bag, Zhang Zheng looked at the last messenger from Elder Duan Wuwei.
She almost sighed with her forehead, and sure enough, the troubles of the elders accepting disciples could not be avoided.
If she pretended not to see it, it would be a little too obvious.
Never mind.
Zhang Zheng threw the messenger into the storage bag as well, and thought to himself, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the ground, and the elders will come to urge them again.
As the saying goes, there is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow is sad, tomorrow is sad......
