XLVIII. Tensions

"He can refine this person who walks in blue water, and at the same time, he also uses a special hand to subdue the divine sense of the magic weapon, and his attainment in refining the weapon has definitely reached the peak of the realm. ”

"If you get the heavenly and earthly treasures, if you don't hand over the magic weapon imprint, you must completely destroy them to prevent the treasures from defecting and escaping at any time," Zhang Shanxing remembered what his master had taught them.

"The Sect Leader may have forgotten how cold and arrogant the Divine Consciousness is, our ancestor once got a flying artifact for nearly 10,000 years, in order not to affect the effect of the artifact to exert the laws of heaven and earth, several elders took turns to fight with both soft and hard, coercion and temptation, and it took more than 100 years to shake the will of the Divine Consciousness, and finally completely eliminated the Divine Consciousness before getting a downgraded immortal artifact," the second elder knew what the Sect's heart was, and showed a helpless expression of hatred that iron could not become steel, and he could only discuss and analyze some cultivation matters with him.

"Hmm~, this refiner subdued a tool spirit in a short period of time, it is really powerful, so I will listen to your opinions on everything before making a decision, what a knowing choice," Zhang Shanxing nodded solemnly, beat his forehead lightly and exhaled a long breath, as if he had solved a trivial matter and was glad, and he also deeply understood the second elder's painstaking persuasion.

"Our teachers have a deep brotherhood, I will naturally think about you, you can just preach a few words verbally in a while, Ling Yun has already taken the initiative to ask for punishment and will not be entangled in the battle of words, let alone hold a grudge against you," the second elder touched the gray and broken hair that he had worked hard all day long, looking at the black and dense hair of the master, and he was sad and lonely and exhausted in his heart.

"I understand, it's decided," Zhang Shanxing nodded and smiled slightly, pinched his fingers and put away his sword, walked to Zhang Lingyun and stretched out his hand to release it.

No one would have thought that in just a few breaths, the two Cave Void Stage masters connected through spiritual sense, and they could easily decide Zhang Lingyun's life and death.

"What are you going to do? He's still a kid,"

The fifth elder understood the stubborn temper of the master brother, and the things he recognized would never be easily changed, with the disgusting appearance he had just now, it was impossible to turn the page lightly, and hurriedly protected Zhang Lingyun behind him, and released a wisp of spiritual sense to communicate with the master brother.

"Since he is innocent, casually punishing him for copying a talisman, formation or something counts as punishment, and he should go back after coming out for so long," Zhang Shanxing withdrew his arm and was raised behind him in a posture of palming, suggesting that the five elders were doing the aftermath work.

"Hurry up, it's okay, it's okay, just explain it clearly," the fifth elder seemed to have learned the earth-shattering news, even though his heart was surrounded by fog, he showed a knowing smile on his face, and he had to muddy a pool of clear water again to be a peacemaker, and relieve the tension between their master and apprentice.

"Master Xie is magnanimous, and the elders Xie are considerate of Ling Yun's weakness and incompetence," Zhang Lingyun leaned over again and bowed before holding the arms of the five elders and getting up.

The fifth elder looked like he was full of pampering, and casually patted the floating ash of Zhang Lingyun's robe, but the fragile fabric that had been baptized by tens of millions of volts of thunder and lightning failed to hold on to the last moment, turning into shards and floating into the distance, not caring about his master's appearance and face.

"Clean up and go back, don't let the guests see the joke," Zhang Shanxing looked at the disheveled and unkempt image of the apprentice, and did not listen to the second elder's persuasion to say some words of comfort to the apprentice, and the disgusted sacrifice of the portable sword rose into the air, and the sword left.

"I'll go back and prepare for the dinner first," the third elder saw that the troublemakers were gone, and there was no need for him to continue to mess around.

"Senior Nephew Lingyun, now that the national crisis is at hand, don't mess up your mind because of some trivial personal feelings," the second elder nodded, leaving a set of light blue dark flower robes and handing them to Zhang Lingyun, suggesting that the five elders should give more comfort.

"Uncle Shi, it's unfortunate that you came, my nest was just destroyed by a thunderstorm, and now I can't even honor you with a cup of tea," Zhang Lingyun lowered his head and lowered his eyes, full of endless embarrassment and loneliness.

"Silly boy is talking nonsense, is Uncle Shi a person who cares about appetite? You should find a place to wash this mud first," the fifth elder pestled Zhang Lingyun's reddish-brown arm that was almost scabbed.

"Huh...... , just entered the merger period, the body discharged some useless impurities, which made Uncle Shi smile," Zhang Lingyun was ashamed and blushed like a cherry dripping blood, and tried his best to justify.

"Raising the realm still has this effect?"

The second elder's puzzled expression didn't seem to be fake, but Zhang Lingyun fell into contemplation, as if this hadn't happened since the beginning of Qi cultivation and cultivation, until the advanced golden pill stage began to have such a strange change, all thanks to the fruit of the blue blood vine, but unfortunately its maker was a taboo of the Taiping Palace Sect, and he was afraid that he would not be able to understand the reason.

"This has never happened before, and it is very likely that it is the Heavenly Tribulation Quenching Body mentioned by Shizun," Zhang Lingyun moved Zhang Shanxing out, hoping to get through the confusion.

"I seem to have heard similar remarks, those who have crossed the tribulation and ascended will be forcibly removed from the impurities in their bodies by the Heavenly Tribulation, and continue to practice in order to be able to adapt to the pure aura in the immortal realm," the five elders' brains worked rapidly, connecting some of the words and phrases, affirming Zhang Lingyun's statement.

"Uncle Shi will rest here for a while, and I'll go into the water to wash it first,"

After settling the five elders, Zhang Lingyun held the light blue dark flower robe in his hand, found an unusually clean stone slab and put it on it, turned over and jumped into the crystal clear cold stream, and before he could do it, the fragments of the Dao robe on his body turned into pieces of debris and went down the river under the impact of the surging stream.

The red-gray scabs on Zhang Lingyun's body gradually softened, and with the continuous scrubbing, the clear stream water was dyed a faint red, like a very red tulle covering the water surface, and the people standing in the red veil were in the rippling ripples, like a heroic chivalrous man who was extraordinary, but he didn't seem to be a gentleman in the world, singing the ordinariness and sorrow of the world.

The quiet and peaceful atmosphere made people forget their troubles for a while, and the five elders had nothing to do, just like Zhang Lingyun had when he was a child, he raised a fire and waited quietly on the shore, for fear that this lonely and helpless child would catch a cold and get sick.

"Uncle Shi has been waiting for a long time, it's getting late, I'll catch some game by the way to fill my stomach first," Zhang Lingyun took a few cleaned grass carp in his hand, put on a sharpened wooden stick rack and roasted it next to the fire.

"Have you been like this all these years? ...... so hard?" As soon as the fifth elder opened his mouth, he regretted that he had talked too much, thinking about how a half-grown child with no life skills and no material support from the outside world could live a relaxed and worry-free life.

"It's not bad, when the second elder came over to send food and clothing once, I saved some of the grain and planted it on my own wasteland, and I have been self-sufficient and worry-free in eating over the years," Zhang Lingyun observed the fifth elder's shocked and frightened expression, and constantly analyzed and deduced in his heart which sentence caused him to look like this.

"Oh~. ”

"Uncle Shi, you have to keep this matter secret for me, the second elder told me not to reveal the matter of him coming to send food and clothing, after all, I came here to cultivate," Zhang Lingyun thought that such a trivial matter as cultivating wasteland was not worth mentioning, and the second elder had also mentioned it in front of everyone when he came to pass the word, so there was only one possibility left, so he casually talked about the temptation of secrecy.

"Hehe~, don't worry about this, no one will know about this matter except for the three of us, Uncle Shi is very strict,"

The five elders' solemn assurances confirmed Zhang Lingyun's speculation, seeing that the master intended to let himself fend for himself in this barren mountain and wilderness, but he didn't expect that the second elder's wishful thinking of making Zhang Shanxing fall through, but he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the second elder, who had always taught the horse head and obeyed orders?

"Lingyun, Lingyun, the fish can be eaten," the fifth elder was overjoyed that his senior brother had violated the order of the sect leader and was concealed, unaware of the fact that he had betrayed his senior brother in a daze.

"Uncle Xie," Zhang Lingyun took the charred and fragrant grilled fish in the hands of the five elders, but he didn't have the slightest appetite and swallowed it like chewing candle wax.

"Slow down, slow down, these are all for you, no one will rob you," the fifth elder looked at Zhang Lingyun, who was gobbling up and eating frantically regardless of decency, and made up for the hardships and hardships he had suffered in recent years due to lack of clothes and clothing, and sleeping in the open, and his guilt was overflowing.

"I'm full," Zhang Lingyun turned his grief and anger into appetite, and after frantically stuffing the grilled fish the thickness of his two arms, his decadent mood was gradually calmed down.

"It's getting late, it's not good for Edgeworth to fly, we'll set off back tomorrow morning,"

The five elders hoped to take the opportunity to comfort the master and nephew, lest they go back and the master and apprentice drift apart, and the relationship became more and more awkward and unfamiliar.

"Uncle Shi, what happened to the court that would make all the uncles so panicked and uneasy," Zhang Lingyun didn't want to dwell on the past anymore, and how to deal with the unexpected situation in front of him was the most important.

"Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the Qing Dynasty is now at the end of the strong crossbow, those pillars of the country's civil and military officials are extremely corrupt, the mediocre and helpless people are becoming more and more impoverished, the country's power is gradually weakened and is underestimated, so that it is backward to the point that it can only be beaten, those literati and heroes with vain ambitions hope to catch up, but among them, quite a lot of the moths in the court and the middle of the country, but in the extravagant life of drunken dreams and death, they are getting deeper and deeper, unable to extricate themselves," the five elders opened the chatterbox and spewed wildly, trying their best to express their resentment and helplessness.

"The most hateful thing is the big smoke that will take people's lives at any time, just for that momentary pleasure experience, those ordinary people have become walking corpses of terrifying existences, abandoning their wives and children, killing each other ....... ”

They curbed the economic lifeline of the imperial court, plundered all kinds of resources in the vast and lush land of the country, constantly enslaved and squeezed the blood and sweat of laborers to satisfy their greed, and even united with those officials to bring heavier exploitation and oppression to the Qing Dynasty. ”

"I heard that there are many good deeds that benefit the country and the people?"
