Chapter Forty-Eight: Returning Favors to Justify Yourself
In Hushan Town, Wang Zhong finally returned.
"I owe you a favor!"
This is what Wang Zhong said to Lu Jinling who appeared inexplicably in his mind that day.
In short, after hesitation, he still headed straight towards Hushan Town.
To be honest, Wang Zhong's impression of Lu Jinling is actually not very deep, in his eyes, whether it is the difference in the status of the two, or the difference in the time of the soul of the two, there should be no possibility of in-depth intersection between the two.
It's just that he knows whether it is providence or coincidence, and Wang Zhong has inadvertently received benefits from the other party several times.
Is it affection, is it gratitude?
The situation is a bit complicated, and Wang Zhong himself can't explain it.
At the same time, he couldn't suppress the dark thoughts in his heart.
The most difficult thing to understand is the human heart.
A cultivator cultivates all his life, and sometimes the most difficult thing to cultivate is his own heart.
Wang Zhong had heard a saying in his previous life that powerful spells often did not come from unparalleled mana, but from the strong heart of a cultivator.
Illuminating the heart of heaven with one's own heart, and controlling the immeasurable and endless thoughts of heaven and earth with one's own thoughts, this is the foundation of the strength of a cultivator.
Although the king of this life no longer cultivates the aura of heaven and earth, it does not hinder the meaning of this sentence to him.
No matter which path one takes, a cultivator cannot do without a strong heart.
The first rule of inner strength is to face up to one's own heart.
So Wang Zhong still came back, and he didn't want to keep this flaw in his thoughts, which was not a good sign.
But although he is back, his original intention will still not change.
......
In the Yujing Garden, Lu Jinling couldn't believe his ears: "Who did you say came back?"
"Wang Zhong is the third generation disciple of the Flying Immortal Sect. He Dongyao also replied with a look of disbelief.
In the past two days, everyone in Hushan Town has been busy with continuous rotation, and just now he happened to see Wang Zhong outside asking to see him, and he was also startled, so he hurriedly came to Lu Jinling to report the news, but he was more suspicious and puzzled in his heart.
"Senior sister, it seems that he has been promoted to the fifth layer of qi refining when he comes back this time, will there really be any problems?"
Attacked within the Wind Stop Gorge, even Zhao Wenxuan could only sacrifice his life to break through, and he was seriously injured, how could he, a disciple of the fourth level of Qi refining, come back unharmed?
Lu Jinling thought for a moment and said, "Didn't the Kaiyang Sword Sect also have a Qi refining disciple who escaped by hiding in the depths of the canyon?"
He Dongyao said: "I interrogated him carefully, and he said that Zhao Wenxuan was defeated and retreated at that time, and then he also fled, and those Kaiyang disciples also died and fled, and everyone was separated." ”
"He was lucky, he hid in a corner of a stone crevice, and he didn't find out, so he kept hiding in it to cultivate, and he hid for several days before he dared to sneak out. ”
"When I came out, I found that there was no one in Fengzhu Gorge, and I walked around the stone forest for several days before I found my way out. Then he went straight back to Hushan Town. ”
"Oh, that's true...... Running away is also so peaceful. Lu Jinling snorted angrily, but after thinking about it, he didn't seem to have any effect, so he had to sigh and said: "That's it, there is no difference between the fourth and fifth layers of qi refining, and it is a good thing to be able to escape with your life." It seems that he and the surviving disciples of the Kaiyang Sword Sect have suffered similar experiences. ”
He Dongyao pondered: "Then senior sister means, there is no problem?"
Lu Jinling nodded and said, "To be honest, a disciple of the fourth or fifth level of Qi refining, I don't think there is any need to doubt it, and it is a waste of energy." ”
He Dongyao thought about it, in the cultivation realm, no matter what you want to do, you must always have cultivation and strength, even if there are some secret methods and mystical skills, then you have to have this kind of insight and means.
Wang Zhong's background is clear, and the Chiyang Sect of the Flying Immortal Sect also knows the ins and outs of the Flying Immortal Sect, what can he have?
If he was more whimsical, he would have gotten some general adventures in legends, but if he had this kind of encounter, would he have practiced for more than ten years now before refining the fourth or fifth level of qi?
For such a low-level disciple, if he is still suspicious of ghosts, then wouldn't his own cultivation be cultivated to a dog?
"Then what should he do now? Is it the same as the Qinghe Daoist people, arranging to go out and close the mountain?"
Lu Jinling originally wanted to agree, but after thinking about Wang Zhong's skills, if he ran into an emergency again, he might not have such good luck, so he said: "Anyway, he won't be able to play a role when he goes to Wushan, so leave him in Hushan Town to wait." By the way, what's going on with the Wind Stop Gorge that you asked you to investigate?"
He Dongyao hurriedly said: "I secretly investigated the trading volume of various specialties in Hushan Town in recent years, and found that the most likely smuggled goods should be Sizi Danluo. ”
"Four Purple Danluo?" Lu Jinling frowned, she had never seen this thing at all, although she knew that it was a specialty of the Foggy Mountains, but now it didn't seem to be very popular in the territory of the Chiyang Sect.
"That's right, Four Purple Danluo. He Dongyao nodded heavily: "This is a special medicinal material in the Foggy Mountains that is used to heal injuries and stop bleeding, it is very useful in the stage of refining qi and building the foundation, refining the corresponding pills is much more saving than other herbs of the same kind, such as knotting roots, white Luo flower, lotus heart chrysanthemum, etc." ”
"It used to be the pillar industry of Tianchongmen, but in recent years, it has been peaceful, and the output of this thing has been greatly reduced, but the four purple danluo in the foggy mountains are still difficult to find, and it is very likely that they were mined and traded to bandits. ”
Lu Jinling nodded, and asked again: "Then, has the empty boat that went to Fengzhu Gorge come back?"
He Dongyao hurriedly said: "Come back, they did find a lot of corpses inside, and many of them are disciples of the Kaiyang Sword Sect in disguise, which partially matches the disappeared faces of these Heavenly Tiger Mountain Town." ”
Lu Jinling immediately said: "That means that the smuggling matter must be confirmed? Does Tianyangzi know this news?"
He Dongyao hesitated: "I shouldn't be able to hide it from him, but I feel that I can't sit still, firstly, I didn't catch the current situation, and secondly, those are some Qi refining disciples, he can shirk it is completely the personal behavior of those junior disciples below, he was negligent and didn't notice it." ”
Lu Jinling waved his hand and said: "What I care about is not this, Zhao Wenxuan sent him to the door to recuperate, the news has been reported, Tianyangzi's matter will be taken over by the senior uncle of the door in the future, I am thinking that if the smuggling is true, then those bandits can only go to the dragon swallowing stream on the opposite side, how can they get there?"
After Lu Jinling finished speaking, she turned around and looked carefully at the topographic map of the Foggy Mountains on the table, on the other side of the Foggy Mountains, she occasionally heard the Five Flames Zhenren say, it was indeed not very peaceful, the Seven Star Sword Pavilion couldn't suppress such a large territory at all, and there were many bandits.
But if you want to pass through the Foggy Mountains, it is not so simple to carry a large number of supplies to the Dragon Swallowing Stream, and it is not easy to walk in the territory of the Chiyang Sect here.
As a result, she suddenly thought of an urgent matter: "Could it be that the bandits have a way to cross the Foggy Mountains?"
He Dongyao immediately knew that the matter was big, if the bandits could really cross the Foggy Mountains, it would either be that there were masters among the other party, or there were hidden roads in the Foggy Mountains for them to pass through.
The former is basically impossible, otherwise Zhao Wenxuan will not be able to come back.
If it was the latter, it would be endless trouble, and would Yi Entourage also run along this road to the Seven Star Sword Pavilion? In that case, the Chiyang Sect wouldn't want to catch him at all.
Just when the two of them were in doubt, suddenly a light rushed down in the courtyard, and Senior Brother Sheng landed and immediately shouted: "Senior sister, Qi Shaokang has news that he has found the frog boat. ”
