The sword qi accumulated by Chaos is too fierce, even if it is only the power of a lifetime, it has only released less than one-tenth of it, but with Zhang Fengmian's current cultivation, it is still difficult to control.

Zhang Fengmian looked at the pink and tender new meat that gradually grew out of his right hand, and then looked at Lao Huang, who was sleeping next to him, and smiled.

These days, thanks to Lao Huang's tireless search in this dense forest full of spiritual energy, he found a lot of spiritual herbs to help Zhang Fengmian recover from his injuries, otherwise, his wounds would have festered long ago, not to mention healing.

Zhang Fengmian raised his uninjured right hand, gently stroked Lao Huang, and then looked at the chaos who was looking for a treasure in a pile of fragments, and said with a wry smile: "I really didn't expect it, but it was only less than one percent of the sword qi, not only did I wipe out all the people of the Yuxiao Sect, but even my hand almost said goodbye to me." ”

Chaos picked up a half-broken sword and looked at it as he threw a charred bag to Zhang Fengmian's side.

"There's no way, my last master's sword talent was too high, so the sword qi of my life is equivalent to ordinary sword cultivation for several lifetimes. Moreover, the master's sword qi is all honed in the fight with top opponents without exception, and the destructive power is naturally very strong. ”

Chaos turned his head and saw Zhang Fengmian's somewhat lonely eyes, and comforted: "But it doesn't matter, you are only in the first realm of refining your body now, and it is already very good to be able to do this." Besides, in my opinion, your kendo talent is not weak. ”

Zhang Fengmian's pale face was fed by Lao Huang with elixir one after another, and now he finally has some blood. He shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the bag, and said, "It's really difficult for you to follow such a master as me in your life, not to mention that your cultivation is not high, and I have to bother you to comfort me." ”

"I'm telling the truth!" Chaos's tone was quite serious, "Even if you don't believe in yourself, you have to believe in me, a 10,000-year-old sword spirit who has experienced invincible sword energy!" ”

Zhang Fengmian nodded, then lifted the charred bag with two fingers of his left hand and asked, "What is this?" ”

"A storage vessel, the quality is not bad, it didn't even break in the sword qi encirclement just now." Chaos continued to rummage through the pile of debris and said, "I see that there are some coins made of purple spirit stones, as well as some other treasures. I didn't expect these disciples of the Yuxiao Sect to be low, but there are a lot of good things, I'll look for it again and see if I can find other good things. ”

"Money!" As soon as Zhang Fengmian heard the money, his eyes suddenly lit up, his face improved a lot, and his spirit recovered suddenly. He opened the bag and poured out a bunch of purple round square-hole money-like things, then stared at Chaos with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "This is also money?!" ”

"yes." Chaos didn't look back, and said, "This is the money used among cultivators, and it is made from an ore that contains spiritual energy called the Purple Spirit Stone. Generally speaking, transactions between practitioners are bartering. But then some people felt that this method was too rough and the pricing of some treasures was inaccurate, so some people proposed to use spirit stones containing spiritual energy as trading currency. Later, some people felt that the shape of the spirit stone was irregular, so they simply cast it directly into the shape of a coin, and later, such money appeared. ”

Looking at Zhang Fengmian's curious gaze, Chaos continued to explain: "There are three colors of this kind of money, white, purple, and gold. The first two are made of jade with aura, while the latter is made from a metal called Wrong Gold Iron, which is also a relatively valuable metal and has a relatively important position in casting. Sometimes, however, you don't have this kind of money, but you have a stone mine to mint coins, and you can also trade it for the weight of spirit stones alone. It is like a tael of gold and a tael of silver in the mortal world. Also, a white jade coin is equivalent to a hundred taels of gold, and the exchange rate between the two currencies is ten. ”

Chaos thought for a while, nodded, and said, "It should be like this, I can't remember too long." But now that you've embarked on the path of cultivation anyway, you'll know all these things later. ”

Zhang Fengmian looked at the purple coin in his hand, and his heart was excited, as for what Chaos said later, he didn't listen to it at all.

"One, two, three...... Wow, so much purple money, if it is exchanged for gold, then I will not be directly reborn and become rich! ”

Thinking that he was now a veritable rich man, Zhang Fengmian suddenly felt that the injuries on his body did not hurt at all. After going back this time, I want to repair my parents' graves, buy a generous tombstone, and if I still have money left, I must build an ancestral hall like a big family, and buy a bunch of good incense for my father and mother to burn every day. By the way, I still have to repair the old mansion well, Niannian is about to grow up, I have to prepare a dowry or something for her, as well as the funeral of Uncle Li and his wife after a hundred years......

Zhang Fengmian counted them one by one with his fingers, and suddenly felt that it would cost a lot of money to do anything, and he didn't know if the money was enough to spend!

Chaos finally jumped out of the garbage heap at this point, and he kicked away a tattered sword, and said angrily: "I thought I could find something good, these poor ghosts really disappointed me." ”

However, he picked up the broken sword again, and as soon as the wood knife was damaged, he had to temporarily stay in this broken sword.

After looting the remnants of the disciples of the Yuxiao Sect, Zhang Fengmian and the others rested in the forest for a few more days, during which they injected spiritual energy into the jade plaque several times, hoping to find rescuers to take them out.

When Zhang Fengmian was almost recovered from his injuries in the end, he decided not to wait, but to figure it out by himself. So a man, a dog, and a spirit began to wander around this labyrinth-like forest again.

On this day, Zhang Fengmian finally came to a new place under the leadership of Lao Huang, and the exhausted man and dog sat on the ground, intending to rest.

But suddenly, in the distance in the dense forest, the sound of someone stirring the bushes could be heard again. Zhang Fengmian's tiredness disappeared in an instant, and he jumped up, holding the broken sword that Chaos had found from the fragments in one hand, and looked vigilantly in the direction where the voice came.

The voice was getting closer and closer to Zhang Fengmian, and the next moment, a man in a yellow robe drove a large folding fan and staggered out of the dense forest at the other end.

Seeing that person, Zhang Fengmian breathed a sigh of relief, because the auspicious cloud pattern on his clothes was exactly the same as the topaz plate in Zhang Fengmian's hand.

"Get out of the way!"

The man's expression was flustered, and the folding fan under his feet swayed among the tall trees like a drunken old man, and the next moment it was like a meteor, smashing straight towards Zhang Fengmian.

Fortunately, Zhang Fengmian's eyes were quick, and he rolled to avoid the impact, and then he heard a bang, and the man was stuck between the two trees with the folding fan.

Seeing that guy stuck there in a weird posture and unable to move, his arms and legs swaying like a turtle in a shell, Zhang Fengmian couldn't help but laugh.

In the sword in his hand, Chaos also sneered: "This guy's imperial weapon skills are too poor." ”

"Fellow Daoist, can you help me?" The guy smiled and touched his head, as if he felt a little embarrassed.

Zhang Fengmian nodded, put away his sword, ran over and grabbed his legs, one foot on the trunk of the tree, and finally dragged this guy out with great effort.

The guy broke away from the crack in the tree, and as soon as the two of them lost their strength, they fell backwards in both directions, and finally stopped after rolling a few laps.

The man in the yellow robe immediately got up and helped Zhang Fengmian up, hugged his fists and smiled apologetically: "It's really troublesome Brother Tai, I am not very proficient in the art of the Imperial Object, so I made Brother Tai make fun of it." By the way, my name is Liu Mang, dare to ask my brother Tai's name? ”

Zhang Fengmian got up, patted the dirt on his body, and looked at this person who was about the same age as himself and had a strange name. Only then did he find out that this guy had an extremely handsome face, which was not much better than that of a beautiful woman, and he looked at Zhang Fengmian with a pair of affectionate eyes, which shocked his heart.

Seeing that his face was full of embarrassment, it made people feel kind, so Zhang Fengmian was no longer vigilant, and hugged his fists and said: "In the next Zhang Fengmian." ”

"Brother Zhang, I'm really sorry." Liu Mang scratched the back of his head again in embarrassment, ran to the folding fan with a smoke, and pointed a finger, a white light jumped out, and the folding fan returned to its original size. Then he ran over again and said, "I received instructions from the sect and came here to look for a fellow disciple, I wonder if Brother Zhang has seen other people dressed the same as me here?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhang Fengmian could answer, Liu Mang shook his head again and said, "No, this time the sect is a secret operation, and it shouldn't be going around wearing the sect's robes." ”

Looking at him talking to himself, Zhang Fengmian took out the topaz card and asked, "Are you looking for me?" ”

"Huh?!" Liu Mang raised his head, looked at the auspicious cloud topaz plate, was overjoyed at first, and nodded hurriedly. Then his expression suddenly became puzzled again, and he looked at Zhang Fengmian, and there was an expression of whether your brain was broken.

Zhang Fengmian, who was confused, was about to ask him what this expression meant, but Liu Mang, who was fast-talking, spoke first.

"Why are you back again?"

"Huh?"

When Zhang Fengmian was looking confused, Liu Mang patted him on the shoulder, gave him a thumbs up, and said with admiration: "Great retrograde, admire below!" Others are eager to take this opportunity to fly away, but it's good for you to go and return. Is there anything else in this sect that you are nostalgic for? ”

"What...... What do you mean? ”

Zhang Fengmian was really getting more and more confused, "Why do you want to go away and fly high?" ”

Hearing Zhang Fengmian ask this question, Liu Mang's expression turned out to be even more admiring, and he hugged his fists and said: "The sect has declined like this, and many elders in the sect have gone their separate ways to find their own future, Brother Zhang, a disciple of the outer sect, still has such a loyal heart that never abandons." Brother Zhang's high-spirited behavior has really set a tall example for my generation in this cultivation world. ”

Liu Mang's words Zhang Fengmian really became more and more confused the more he listened, and in desperation, he had an idea, leaned into Liu Mang's ear, and said bitterly: "Brother Liu doesn't know, I was injured here on this secret mission, and I lost part of my previous memory, and I forgot all the things you said." Zhang Fengmian pointed to his head and continued: "I also hope that Brother Liu can talk to me in detail, so that I can regain my memory." ”

"What!" Liu Mang was surprised, looking at Zhang Fengmian's eyes with a touch of pity, he took out the folding fan, opened it again, and said, "This is a long story, let's talk while walking." ”

Zhang Fengmian looked at the folding fan, smiling but not smiling. Liu Mang also remembered the embarrassment just now, so he smiled, put away the folding fan stupidly, and said, "Then let's talk while walking." ”

"Everything has to start from many years ago......"

---------------------------------------------------

Regarding the history of the decline of the sect, Liu Mang can be said to be like a treasure, and he told Zhang Fengmian one by one.

"Hundreds of years ago, in that earth-shattering war between the human and demon races, our sect also sent countless masters to fight, but I didn't expect that the demon clan's combat power was extremely strong, and all the top forces of the human race participated in the war, and in the end it was just a pyrrhic victory. And our sect suffered countless casualties in that battle, several elders and talented disciples were killed to ashes, and since then, the sect's vitality has been greatly injured and has not been able to recover. ”

"Later, the sect retreated to Moon Bay, intending to recuperate, but after the world was calmed down, some rising stars sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and in order to expand their own power, they continued to oppress the old sects like our sect that have made great contributions, and called it 'the alternation of the old and the new, is the cycle of heaven!' , I'm phew! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Mang was angry and punched the trunk of the tree next to him, but the tree was not good, but he shook his hand in pain.

Liu Mang deliberately didn't look at Zhang Fengmian's strange expression, and continued: "After that, in the one hundred and eight sects in Moon Bay, in the ranking of the competition once per Jiazi, our sect's ranking is getting lower and lower. And those disciples and elders in the sect who couldn't see the way out of the sect tried their best to leave the sect and go to other places to seek development. ”

"Alas..."Liu Mang sighed and said, "But this is not to blame them, practice, if you don't advance against the current, you will retreat." As a monk, who doesn't want to find a big force to lean on. It's just that a group of bastards, forget it when they go, and they didn't forget to take away the few spiritual weapons and treasures of the sect, so that we ordinary disciples couldn't get a fart in the end. ”

Liu Mang was indignant, and he heard Zhang Fengmian's face black. After engaging in it for a long time, the relationship was so angry because he didn't get any benefits.

"Now the sect, where is there still the appearance of the top power in the East Corner Continent a hundred years ago? There are few people, up and down, but there are only 100 people, and even today, there are still people who are trying to get out of here. If we continue like this, we will not wait for those rising stars to be persecuted, and we will disintegrate ourselves.
