Chapter 20: The Golden Feather
Zhang Linchen lay on the ground almost paralyzed, his pupils returned to normal, the flames in his chest disappeared, and he withdrew from his overdraft.
Now his body is extremely consumed, and the immortal seed is running wildly, but fortunately, he ate a golden flame fruit before, otherwise it would be dangerous.
After all, they still fought to the death, and it was a miserable victory.
Zhang Linchen got up and sat cross-legged on the ground, his upper body was bare, his muscles were bulging, and his whole body was sticky, all of which were intertwined with sweat and blood. His physical injuries are recovering rapidly, and the few broken bones are gradually healing, and his overall state is getting stronger and stronger. During this period, he ate another Golden Flame Fruit to supplement the consumption of the immortal seed.
In fact, there was still a wisp of Spiritual Green Qi in his body, but he couldn't drive it, as if he was suppressed by something, which made him very puzzled. And the reason why he didn't use rune stones was because he couldn't use spiritual power, so he couldn't use them either.
After a long time, Zhang Linchen has returned to his peak state, during which he repeatedly deduced and reminisced about the battles he had experienced before, learned a lot of things, and even felt a little empowered.
Now his actual combat ability has long been extraordinary, but if he encounters the "him" just now, I am afraid that he will still be passively beaten. The reason is that the other party's insight is too terrifying, causing him to have a feeling that all kinds of magic in the world are not like this, and everything can be easily broken.
Of course, in fact, it is certainly not as simple as Zhang Linchen thought.
Suddenly, the ground shone brightly, Zhang Linchen's pupils shrank, and he didn't have time to close his eyes, causing his eyes to be flashed by the bright light, and he was in a trance for a while.
"Isn't it over yet?"
His heart sank, and he looked at the "Zhang Linchen" that appeared in the distance, and frowned with a headache.
However, he is also a little curious about how strong the strength of "Zhang Linchen" at such a point is.
The "Overdraft Forbidden Technique" cannot be reused in a short period of time, Zhang Linchen is helpless, and after thinking about it, he can only wear this armor, although it is a little less flexible, but it can also form a certain amount of protection.
"The longer I dragged on, the more I learned. ”
Zhang Linchen stood firmly in place, looked at the man, and instantly "fell into a trance". Now he can enter this realm almost anytime and anywhere, which can be regarded as a great improvement.
After many battles, he had guessed that this circular platform was roughly for people to engage in this kind of actual combat trial, and then comprehend the mystery from it, and then move on to a deeper level. It's a pity that his own strength is insufficient, so I'm afraid that's the end of it.
But in the end, if he didn't fight hard and try to learn more from this person, he felt that it would be a loss.
The man rushed over as always, and waved a palm in his hand, which was unremarkable, Zhang Linchen had seen it too many times, but he never underestimated it.
Zhang Linchen made a move to resist, and the man made another move, and unexpectedly hit the crook of his arm, which was unprotected.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Zhang Linchen felt pain, his arm was numb, and he returned to normal in the next moment, but he still took two steps back. As a result, the man was unforgiving and continued to make trouble.
Zhang Linchen gritted his teeth for support, and it was difficult to fight back, because he couldn't even touch the corners of the opponent's clothes, which was the shortcoming of putting on the armor, and he couldn't really ignore the weight of the armor itself.
In the end, the man's palm was like a spirit snake, and at an unexpected angle, it was inserted into the throat of Zhang Linchen, who was unprotected, in a strange instant.
Puff –
Blood gushed out, Zhang Linchen didn't have time to defend himself, he looked at the expressionless "self" in front of him, his face was splashed with blood, like a bloodthirsty demon king.
It was the last scene he saw before he lost consciousness.
......
Slowly opening his eyes, Zhang Linchen sat up blankly, looking at the surrounding environment, which was in a house.
"Brother, you're awake!"
An immature sound, Zhang Linchen saw a boy about four years old standing outside the door.
"Little ...... Little light!"
Zhang Linchen's expression froze, his eyes were full of incredulity, the boy in front of him was his younger brother, named Zhang Weiguang.
Zhang Weiguang looked at Zhang Linchen and wondered, "Brother, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable again?"
Zhang Linchen immediately came back to his senses, he paused for a moment, and said, "No...... It's okay...... I'm fine. ”
Zhang Weiguang smiled and said, "I'll tell my mother." ”
He bounced out of the room, Zhang Linchen originally wanted to stay, but in the end, for some reason, one hand stopped in mid-air and hung down weakly.
Zhang Linchen's mind is now a mess, he doesn't know what to do, he seems to have forgotten a lot of things, and when he thinks about it carefully, his memory is blank.
"What's wrong with me. Zhang Linchen rubbed his forehead and thought weakly.
"Chen'er, you're finally awake!" a young woman in a plain dress walked into the house.
"Mother's ......" Zhang Linchen couldn't help blurting out when he saw this woman.
The woman came to the bed and sat down, hugged Zhang Linchen into her arms, slowly touched his head, and said softly: "You are recovering from a serious illness, you need to rest well, don't move lightly, understand?"
Zhang Linchen said "um" very obediently, he silently felt the embrace of his mother, and he actually had a feeling of choking and wanting to cry.
"Your body was weak when you were young, and this time you contracted the wind and cold, and you were sick for so many days, your father and I were worried about death. The young woman whispered, "But fortunately, you finally woke up......"
The woman said a lot of words, Zhang Linchen leaned on her arms and listened quietly, with two lines of tears on her face......
A few days later, Zhang Linchen sat on the big stone at the head of the village, watching Zhang Weiguang laugh and play with the friends in the village, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
About this younger brother, Zhang Linchen still remembers a story.
When an old road passed by Zhang Linchen's house, he accidentally found a woman who was pregnant with Liujia. As if he had discovered a strange thing, he pointed to the woman's belly and said that this child must be a great existence in the future, and he must have been born with a vision, a glorious roof, and a thousand colors, such as the arrival of a god. Anyway, it's all rhetoric, and then the old Tao has the idea of accepting disciples. Later, I don't know why, the child was born without those visions, on the contrary, the child was extremely weak, if it wasn't for the smooth treatment, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago, but the child's parents still named him "Zhang Linchen", and also hoped that he could get better and better.
And the old man was puzzled when he saw the child in such a situation, first treated him, and finally found out that the child had a strange physique, so he dispelled the idea of accepting apprentices. In fact, Zhang Linchen's parents didn't want their son to worship Lao Tao as a teacher, but the reason was complicated, and Zhang Linchen himself didn't know. In short, the change in circumstances caught Lao Dao off guard, and he felt a little guilty, even though it was not caused by him. Afterwards, he tried his best to help the newborn Zhang Linchen stabilize and no longer be dying.
When he was done, Lao Dao immediately said goodbye.
Not long after, Zhang Linchen's mother became pregnant again, and this time the situation was very different and weird. First of all, with Zhang Linchen's mother as the center, the surrounding aura seemed to be disturbed by something, converging towards the center little by little, like a whirlpool. This condition slowly intensified with the passage of time, and by the time the baby was born, the sky and the earth changed color, and the visions were brilliant and wonderful. Then three green qi descended from the sky, and it floated into the top of the baby's head, and the cry disappeared, and the child actually laughed.
After that, the child was named "Zhang Weiguang".
After Zhang Weiguang was born, life was as usual, step by step, many things that worried Zhang Linchen's parents did not happen, although there were still some small things, but it was best to be safe and sound.
This is the end of the story, Zhang Linchen also heard it from the elders in the village, and later got confirmation from his mother.
Zhang Linchen sat quietly on the stone, with a smile on his face, and after a while, he felt that the sunlight seemed to be much more dazzling.
He looked up and squinted slightly, and vaguely saw a bright grain of light in the sky, and at one moment, he even felt that the sun's rays were eclipsed by it. All the focus of heaven and earth is concentrated on it, as if it is the only thing that truly exists in the world, and no one can compare with it.
The children at the head of the village are laughing and playing, the women are chatting about their daily routines, the old people are sheltered under the trees, and the men are hunting and returning to the village, everything is so harmonious and normal.
But none of them noticed the anomaly in heaven, as if they were blind to it, or they were not visible at all.
The light above became more and more intense, and the light particles became more and more huge, Zhang Linchen kept looking up and silently watching, but he didn't feel dazzling.
At this time, Zhang Weiguang suddenly ran over and wanted to pull Zhang Linchen away, but he was completely attracted by the things in the sky.
The next moment, the entire village was directly hit by a huge and boundless light, as if the sun on the sky had fallen, and Zhang Linchen lost consciousness in an instant.
But before that, he suddenly saw a huge golden feather, sacred, clean, and inviolable. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, and it didn't seem to belong to the world.
Zhang Linchen woke up again, with tears left in the corners of his eyes, he was lying on a small platform, his clothes were intact, and under him was a white stone slab, the sky was bright and dark, and there was a staircase not far away.
His eyes were blank, and the golden feather in his mind lingered, and later, he remembered his father and mother, as well as his younger brother Zhang Weiguang. It was as if they had just left, but they forgot to take him with them when they left.
"Why don't you take me with you!, why do you want to leave me!" Zhang Linchen muttered to himself.
This is Zhang Linchen's memory before he was six years old, originally he also had a very beautiful home, in a small courtyard in the village, where there was his family whose blood was thicker than water. As a result, one day, an infinite brilliant light fell from the sky, and after that, he lost this part of his memory, and he lost everything.
Of course, he had already remembered this part of the memory before Nirvana, but now it was more profound, and he also knew what was hidden in the depths of his memory, the golden feather.
Suddenly, a boundless hatred spread out from the bottom of his heart, like a flame, more and more vigorous, about to ignite him.
That's right, he was really on fire, a dark red flame burning slowly, and since he was lying flat, the flame was burning up little by little from under him. Strangely, the flames did not harm him, including clothing and flesh.
This is the embodiment of anger, usually it can't be seen or touched, but at this time it actually appeared.
