Chapter 144: Close to Life
Zhang Yongjie was lying on the second-floor roof tiles of the 'Liaozong Palace' at this time, looking at the mountains in the distance. If the shadow appears, it is surrounded by green smoke. His mind was now extremely confused, and he felt a little sleepy.
He remembered the words of His Holiness the Heavenly Dragon, 'Buddhism has clouds, color is emptiness, and emptiness is color.' True and false, false and true. There are many things in this world that are difficult to judge whether they are true or false as long as you have not experienced them personally.
At this time, Zhang Yongjie was still a little naΓ―ve, and it was only later that he realized that many things, even if he had experienced them personally, were not necessarily true.
Don't talk about it, let's just talk about the 'Golden Dragon Key' that Li Ling and Shi Yunshan are tangled in, how can Zhang Yongjie judge the truth of this matter?
Li Ling and Shi Yunshan are unwilling to tell each other the truth, I don't know what calculations they have in their hearts?
Zhang Yongjie only hopes that this world will be a little better, everyone will not look for trouble, everyone will work hard and live a good life.
But this river and lake is so complicated, everyone has their own little abacus in their hearts. As the so-called human heart is unpredictable, the human heart is separated from the belly, which is complicated.
Everyone refused to tell each other frankly, Zhang Yongjie suddenly felt angry and secretly determined
If what Shi Yunshan said was true, if Li Ling really killed tens of thousands of people because of his forcible seizure of the 'Golden Dragon Key', then he must get rid of Li Ling at that time.
No matter what reason Li Ling has, and no matter what tricks she uses to get tens of millions of people to speak for her, she must crush her to ashes.
Of course, in terms of eloquence and strategy, Zhang Yongjie knows that he is probably not the opponent of Li Ling, a 'little girl'.
If it really comes to that time, I will treat myself as a demon who kills people without blinking, no need to say any reason, no need to let anyone believe that this Li Ling is a bad person, I, Zhang Yongjie of Qiandao, will definitely crush this girl to ashes! It must be the powder of the powder. There is a little bit of broken bones, count me Zhang Yongjie losing.
Zhang Yongjie's thoughts at the moment have been drilled to an extreme angle. He is angry with the bad guys who started it, at the people who hide their minds in the shadows, but who can find all kinds of reasons to direct the masses.
In Zhang Yongjie's heart, these people all hope that through the efforts of others and the lives of others, they can achieve the peak of their own life and realize the filthy Xiao Jiujiu in his own heart, these people are not worthy of living in this world.
Will Zhang Yongjie fall into the devil's path because of this? Judge the rivers and lakes with his own likes and dislikes? In his previous experience, Zhang Yongjie watched the chaos of the rivers and lakes as a bystander most of the time.
At the crossroads of life, how does Zhang Yongjie choose? Will he choose to escape and become a thousand-island Zhang Shaoxia who travels freely? Or will he choose to stir into the whirlpool and become a trendsetter of the times, or will he be a 'Zhang Moxia'? In addition, is there a third way to go?
Zhang Yongjie himself felt confused, his life at the age of twenty, the year of the weak crown. This is the most confused period of Zhang Yongjie's life, and it is also a decisive period for the formation of a person's values.
One thought becomes a Buddha, and one thought becomes a demon. Where to go, maybe it depends on whether the tens of thousands of people in the Li family will die innocently.
Bronze Daoist, Shao Qi and other immortal sect masters, although they know Zhang Yongjie, they don't know what this kid is going to do when he goes to Mingyang Palace?
But they all know that Zhang Yongjie's internal strength is very strong at this moment, and he and the others are definitely not opponents, so they don't take the initiative to find trouble, and let this kid stay in a daze.
Li Ling also arranged the next work in the square, saying that all the existing disciples would be moved to this Mingyang Palace to live and strengthen the guards of the headquarters.
The broken houses were pushed to the ground first, put aside for the time being, and were not repaired, and the most important thing at the moment was to strengthen the guards of the Mingyang Palace.
Li Ling also said that he would recruit heroes, shelter the prodigal sons of the rivers and lakes, and place all these people in the valley to defend the periphery.
He also sent messengers to contact other major sects on the rivers and lakes to ask for help, just like the current position of the great enemy.
Those disciples of the Immortal Sect all obeyed Li Ling's arrangement and acted separately, they knew very well that this battle was the battle of the Immortal Sect's 'Sect' and could not lose, everyone was passionate, vigorous and resolute, and worked hard.
They all seemed to ignore Xiao Yan, the sect leader, if they had friends who came from afar, they would definitely only know the military master, but they wouldn't know what the sect leader was.
Zhang Yongjie's thoughts were complicated, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't have the heart to care about these, he was a little tired now, and he didn't have the enthusiasm and arrogance of the past at all.
Xiao Yan was suddenly embarrassed on the side, and said, "Brother Zhang, it's been a long time, and I'm tired at the moment, let's go get something to eat." β
As soon as Xiao Yan said this, Zhang Yongjie also felt hungry and nodded. Pulling Xiao Yan, he jumped and turned over and got out of the hall.
Xiao Yan took Zhang Yongjie's wrist and walked towards the back of Mingyang Palace, turned a few courtyards, passed through several corridors, and came to a remote courtyard.
There was an old man in the courtyard, sitting in a rocking chair, basking in the sun. Zhang Yongjie also had a little impression of this old lady, it was the old man who persuaded everyone to return the church power to the sect leader Xiao Yan in the morning.
Since ancient times, seventy years old and rare, the old lady is at least seventy years old, but he can still walk on his own, and he generally does not need to be supported by someone to walk.
The two came to the small courtyard, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Grandpa, you are also living a chic life, and you are still basking in the sun." After speaking, he turned around and introduced Zhang Yongjie, "Brother Zhang, this is my grandfather." β
Zhang Yongjie immediately saluted and called "Grandpa Xiao." β
Under normal circumstances, if you recognize the other party as a friend, then when you go to the other party's home, in addition to the parents call you uncle, aunt and uncle, other relatives, under normal circumstances, how friends call you, then you will call yourself.
For example, a friend's grandfather, also known as grandpa. Friend's grandmother, also called grandma and so on, so Zhang Yongjie called it so.
Old lady Xiao stood up from the rocking chair, and when she heard Zhang Yongjie call her like this, she naturally knew that this was a friend of 'Yan'er'. hurriedly greeted warmly, and pulled Zhang Yongjie into the room to sit.
The house was unusually simple, with a small wooden bed, a small bamboo table, a few stools, and a gray locker.
Old lady Xiao struggled to open the lid of the locker, Xiao Yan also went over to help, his grandfather and grandson searched for a while, and Old Lady Xiao took a grapefruit from it that had long dried out and lost its moisture.
Xiao Yan held the grapefruit in her hand, rummaged through the locker again, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, there is still a piece of bacon, why don't you eat it for so long? If you don't eat it again, it's all bad." β
Old lady Xiao smiled, "You haven't been back to live in the palace for a long time, and Ah Gong is reluctant to eat on weekdays, so just wait for you to come back, let's eat today." β
Xiao Yan put the grapefruit on the bamboo table and said, "Brother Zhang, you can help peel this grapefruit, I'll go see if there are any other good things." β
While peeling the shriveled pomelo shell, Zhang Yongjie saw Xiao Yan take another piece of bacon from it, two eggs came out, put it in the kitchen, turned around and ran to the small vegetable garden in the yard, and picked a few vegetables.
Zhang Yongjie had already peeled the grapefruit, and the old lady Xiao sat down next to him slowly, and said to Zhang Yongjie, "Child, there is nothing good to entertain you, you can eat quickly." β
In this situation, how could Zhang Yongjie refuse, and said, "Grandpa Xiao doesn't have to be polite, this is already very good." β
Zhang Yongjie peeled a petal of grapefruit and ate it. Peeled another petal, handed it to Old Lady Xiao, and said, "Grandpa Xiao, you can eat some too." β
The old lady Xiao took two bites and said, "I haven't had guests at home for a long time, and when people are old, they like to talk to others more." But those young men don't want to talk to us, and it's really useless when they're old. β
Zhang Yongjie saw that Mrs. Xiao was a little sad and aggrieved, and immediately comforted him and said, "Grandpa Xiao, aren't we coming to accompany you now? In the future, I will let the sister of the Xiao family often accompany you." β
The old lady Xiao sighed for a moment, and then said, "Yan'er, this child has a hard life, he has lost his father and mother since he was a child, and my grandfather has no ability. You are friends, and good friends should move around more and help each other. β
Zhang Yongjie saw the sincerity of what the old lady Xiao said, and sighed in his heart, as the so-called blood is thicker than water, as an elder, he really thinks about his children and grandchildren all the time.
Before he said three sentences, Mrs. Xiao's feelings of cherishing his granddaughter are self-evident. This morning, only my grandfather was willing to go forward to say a few words for his granddaughter, how could others have such thoughts.
Zhang Yongjie nodded yes, knowing that this should be said by every grandfather in the world, this is the purest feeling in the world, not like those power plots.
Xiao Yan didn't seem to like her grandfather complaining to the outside world, so she hurriedly ran over and said, "Grandpa, Brother Zhang, you two let me cook alone? Who will burn this fire? β
After Xiao Yan's 'scolding', Old Lady Xiao hurriedly stood up with difficulty, and said with a wry smile, "Okay, okay, this is here." β
Old lady Xiao had already walked into the kitchen, and Xiao Yan said at this time, "Brother Zhang, people like to say strange things when they are old, don't be weird." β
Zhang Yongjie stood up, sighed, and said, "It's very lonely when people are old, not to mention that everyone will get old, so let's spend more time with grandpa." β
After speaking, Zhang Yongjie took Xiao Yan's wrist and walked into the kitchen. Xiao Yan summed up and said, "Let's make a cucumber fried bacon today, and then have an omelette, do you think it's okay?"
Zhang Yongjie frowned and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get it, I'll only make eggs and rice." β
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "I'll stir-fry, you go and help Ah Gong light the fire." β
Zhang Yongjie thought to himself that Xiao Yan's sister was also the leader of the Immortal Sect no matter what she said, could it be that she also made her own fire and cooked on weekdays?
Xiao Yan said, "Of course I know how to cook, I often cook by myself, I don't believe you can ask my grandfather." β
Zhang Yongjie had no choice but to sit next to the firewood stove and accompany Mrs. Xiao to make a fire. During this period, Old Lady Xiao wanted to talk about the sad past several times, but was stopped by Xiao Yan on the stove.
If you talk about weekdays, Zhang Yongjie will definitely accompany Mrs. Xiao to talk more, so that he can relieve his loneliness and loneliness.
But today, Zhang Yongjie's thinking was more confused, his mind was more complicated, and his mood was relatively low, and he didn't listen carefully to what Old Lady Xiao wanted to say, let alone care about Xiao Yan's frequent stops.
The meal was already on the table, and Old Lady Xiao didn't dare to speak anymore, Zhang Yongjie was in a bad mood and didn't say anything.
The three of them finished the meal strangely, and after the meal, Zhang Yongjie took the initiative to brush the dishes and chopsticks.
After everything was cleaned up, Xiao Yan pulled Zhang Yongjie and wanted to leave, when parting, Zhang Yongjie said goodbye, "Grandpa Xiao, take care of your body, the kid will come to see you in a while." β
Old lady Xiao stood under the eaves and waved her hand, "Okay, you guys go and get busy with big things." Children and friends move around a lot and help each other. β
Leaving Old Lady Xiao's courtyard, Zhang Yongjie looked at Old Lady Xiao's reluctant appearance, sighed to Xiao Yan, and said, "You are still a little nicer to your grandfather." There are not many good grandfathers like this. β
Xiao Yan held Zhang Yongjie's arm at this time, looked at Zhang Yongjie sideways, and said, "I'm just afraid that you don't like to listen to those small words." β
Zhang Yongjie just responded lightly: "I'm not in the way." It's rare for someone to accompany his old man and not let him speak, so how uncomfortable should he be. Then he let out a long sigh.
Xiao Yan said softly at this time, "Okay, next time, let Ah Gong have a good time." Brother Zhang, what are you worried about, why are you not very happy. β
Zhang Yongjie was helpless and said, "I just haven't thought through some things clearly, and it will be fine after a while." β
Xiao Yan proposed, "Then let's go out and have fun, I'll take you to a place." There are blue skies and white clouds, beautiful scenery, picturesque, and it is a good place to relax. β
Zhang Yongjie thought to himself that Xiao Yan's sister was in this Mingyang Palace, like a puppet. Li Ling, that little girl, is very deep in the city, so people can't figure out what she is thinking in her head.
This Li Ling, maybe one day he will poison Xiao Yan, this time he took her out of this Mingyang Palace, away from this place of right and wrong, which is also a good thing.
But when I thought about it, as soon as Xiao Yan's sister left, wouldn't this old lady Xiao be even more lonely in this Mingyang Palace? Thinking of this, Zhang Yongjie couldn't bear it.
Xiao Yan laughed and said, "Brother Zhang, you were deceived by Ah Gong, Ah Gong still has many grandchildren, someone will take care of them." β
Zhang Yongjie thought that although the old man was full of children and grandchildren, they always didn't want anyone to leave him.
But Zhang Yongjie thought about it for a while, and decided to take Xiao Yan and leave this treacherous Mingyang Palace.
It was a little dark, and the crowd in the square had already dispersed, and they were busy. Xiao Yan secretly walked towards the palace gate, looking at the cautious look, Zhang Yongjie knew that she was afraid of being discovered by others.
Zhang Yongjie patted Xiao Yan's back and signaled that she didn't need to be afraid, and walked out generously.
In a blink of an eye, Zhang Yongjie saw that the two daughters of Moxiang and Mozhu were behind a wall not far away, and poked their heads out to look at themselves.
Zhang Yongjie waved his hand to signal them to come over, but Mo Xiang and Mo Zhu didn't dare to come over, obviously afraid of Xiao Yan.
Zhang Yongjie thought to himself, what is there to be afraid of Xiao Yanmei, the puppet sect leader? But then he thought that in the last years of the Han Dynasty, although Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was also a puppet, there were not a few people who were loyal to the Han family.
Presumably, Sister Xiao Yan, although she is a puppet sect leader, is also the extremely noble sect leader in the hearts of the two daughters of Moxiang Mozhu, and it is the sustenance of their souls.
Zhang Yongjie grabbed Xiao Yan and said, "Why don't you take those two sisters with you, let's go out for a walk together." β
Xiao Yan said, "There are too many people, and I can't leave for fear of being discovered." Especially the bronze uncle, it's fierce. β
Zhang Yongjie remembered that he hated this bronze Taoist very much, but in the past two days, this bronze Taoist didn't come to provoke him, and he was a little embarrassed to do it.
Okay now, if that bronze Taoist dares to come to find trouble, I, Zhang Yongjie, just express the depression in my heart and extinguish the electric shock of the bronze dog Taoist.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yongjie hated and said, "Don't get in the way, it just so happens that I have long wanted to get rid of the bronze dog Taoist, if he dares to come, he will touch my Zhang Yongjie's eyebrows." β
The more Zhang Yongjie spoke, the more angry he became, and immediately pushed a palm to the side, and a wall should collapse. Xiao Yan didn't know why he was so angry, and he grabbed Zhang Yongjie's arm tightly at the moment, and didn't dare to say more.
Sha Tongtian happened to pass by nearby, stepped forward to join in the fun, and sneered: "Zhang Shaoxia, this is energetic and has nowhere to go, why don't you want to go with a wall?"
Zhang Yongjie originally wanted to clean up this Sha Tongtian, but then he thought that at this moment he was lurking in the Blue Dragon Society, pretending to follow the superior, and this Sha Tongtian was the person in the upper position, and he had no need to clean up this person for the time being, so as not to make the superior suspect him.
Zhang Yongjie stared at Sha Tongtian, his face dark, as if he was trying to restrain his anger.
Seeing this situation, Na Sha Tongtian was afraid that Zhang Yongjie would suddenly make a move, so he immediately took three steps back and arched his hand, "Brother Zhang, brother advises you to do something serious, don't wander around all day." β
This Sha Tongtian has always called himself Zhang Shaoxia, why did he suddenly call himself Brother Zhang today? Could it be that this person is playing tricks? Zhang Yongjie didn't understand the meaning, and immediately said angrily, "What do you mean by that?"
Na Sha Tongtian 'pointed out the maze' and said, "According to my brother's meaning, Brother Zhang, you should return to Qiandao now, quickly call your father to enclose you a piece of land, build a house, and then have a daughter-in-law and have a child." That's the right thing, don't have nothing to do all day, follow Li Junshi's ass around. β
Sha Tongtian's words were almost insulting, Zhang Yongjie was young and vigorous, how could he swallow this breath.
Xiao Yan saw that his muscles were skyrocketing, and hurriedly comforted, "Brother Zhang, don't be like this person, dissipate your anger." β
But after all, people are bloody, Zhang Yongjie immediately shook off Xiao Yan's wrist, and immediately mobilized his internal force to hit Nasha Tongtian.
Sha Tongtian knew that his internal strength was far inferior to this kid, and the reason why he dared to speak and flirt was completely because he was outstanding in his light skills and could quickly disengage with this kid surnamed Zhang, so he was so fearless.
Seeing this, Sha Tongtian immediately slipped his footsteps and ran into the distance. Looking back, I didn't forget to add fuel to the fire, said
"Brother Zhang, don't remember the wrong order, you have to build a house first, and then talk about a daughter-in-law. Otherwise, without a house, you won't even be able to marry a daughter-in-law. β
Zhang Yongjie is easy-going by nature, not the kind of person who goes to extremes and wants to go online at every turn.
Helplessly, Zhang Yongjie was extremely depressed at the moment, and this Sha Tongtian wantonly provoked, which made him angry, and he was bound to make Sha Tongtian five steps cheap in this Mingyang Palace.
In Zhang Yongjie's mind, he inexplicably remembered that day when Father-in-law Cao said that he was going to Nanjing to kill two beasts, and expressed the depression in his heart.
Thinking of Grandpa Cao's fist grabbing in his mind, thinking of this bizarre crowd of beings, Zhang Yongjie actually understood Grandpa Cao's perverse character a little in his heart.
Is this Sha Tongtian considered a beast? Should he be killed? This is a question.
But Zhang Yongjie thought that although he didn't know the specific evil deeds of Sha Tongtian, just because he had to bathe and change his clothes and have to be served by seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls from the Qinglong Society, he was not a beast, and there were no beasts in this world.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yongjie shouted "looking for death" in his mouth, and immediately performed the light skill of 'Phantom Two Thousand' after speaking, chasing Sha Tongtian in this Mingyang Palace.
That Bronze Daoist, Shao Qi and many other immortal sect masters, seeing Zhang Yongjie's almost crazy anger, must have lost their rationality, and stepped forward to snipe at this moment, isn't that looking for death?
So they didn't see it, Bronze Daoren, Shao Qi, Zhou Yibai and other people who had a festival with Zhang Yongjie before, seeing this situation, simply went into the hall and hid.
The light gong body method of 'Phantom Two Thousand' and the two light skills of 'chasing the wind and chasing the moon' in Blood Drinking Valley are the most outstanding light gong body methods in the world, but the concepts of the two are different and each has its own merits.
The Phantom Two Thousand is more like a tiger and a leopard running, landing on flat ground and using various tricks to increase speed. And 'chasing the wind and chasing the moon' is like a wild goose flying, and more attention is paid to the use of air current, so that the body can 'soar through the clouds and fog'.
Zhang Yongjie has very strong internal strength, but since he learned the light technique of 'Phantom Two Thousand', he has not had a chance to familiarize himself with it. In this chase, the control is not very skillful, and he has been knocked down by the oncoming wind many times.
And although Shatong's natural strength is far inferior, 'chasing the wind and chasing the moon' can make him glide directly from the 'Liaozong Palace' in the air to the top of another kind of hall. Zhang Yongjie needs to get off the flat ground, and then climb the rock from the flat ground to the temple.
Sha Tongtian kept gliding back and forth between the two halls, and naturally took advantage. In this way, when it comes to escaping, 'chasing the wind and chasing the moon' has already gained the upper hand.
Seeing this situation, although Zhang Yongjie was unwilling, he also knew that no matter what happened today, he couldn't clean up this sand.
I only hope that in the coming day, after I am proficient in controlling the light skills of the 'Phantom Two Thousand', I will choose the opportunity to destroy Sha Tongtian.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yongjie deliberately gave up. The pace was a little slow, and the second and third children in the mouth of Sha Tongtian slapped Zhang Yongjie with one palm.
The second and third children saw that Zhang Yongjie had been chasing after him for a long time, and thought that it was not a way to go on like this.
Although they knew that Zhang Yongjie's internal strength far surpassed their own, they thought that Sha Tongtian was old and decrepit, and it would definitely not last long, if this surnamed Zhang blindly chased down, then Sha Tongtian might be in danger.
If the second and third knew that Zhang Yongjie had given up at this moment, then they would definitely not come out to slap this slap.
Zhang Yongjie's physical strength also decreased sharply at the moment, but when he saw the second and third children both palming, he didn't dare to be careless at the moment.
This second and third child was once in the Tang Paradise, and the Tianlong Dharma King was injured and vomited blood with one palm, this matter was seen by Zhang Yongjie with his own eyes, how can his force be underestimated?
Zhang Yongjie thought to himself that since he couldn't clean up this Shatongtian, these two people would be considered unlucky for them, so he immediately transported a huge amount of internal force, gathered it in his palms, and pushed it towards the two people.
I saw a bang, and the air flow was agitated, and the second and third children were immediately shocked and fell to the ground. But it seems that they also suffered serious internal injuries and were unable to stand up for a while.
Zhang Yongjie was shocked, the palm power of these two people could actually rebound? I don't know what kind of kung fu the two of them used, and they actually returned fifty percent of their palm power to their own bodies?
The kung fu of these two people is so strange, no wonder they can hurt the Heavenly Dragon Dharma King with one palm, it turns out that they hit themselves. And how strong is this palm under Zhang Yongjie's anger?
What Zhang Yongjie didn't know was that his internal strength was too strong, so he broke through the defense line of these two people, and poured fifty percent of his strength into the body of the second and third children.
Although Zhang Yongjie barely stood up and did not fall, a mouthful of blood was already in Zhang Yongjie's throat, Zhang Yongjie couldn't hold back, and immediately vomited blood.
The people nearby exclaimed, and Xiao Yan said in horror on the side, "Brother Zhang, are you okay?" β
Zhang Yongjie's mind is clearer than ever at this moment, now he is alone in Mingyang Palace, surrounded by strong enemies, if he does not quickly adjust his injuries, he will definitely cause a siege by the heroes, and he is afraid that his life will be at risk.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yongjie quickly mobilized his internal force and traveled all over his body, wanting to dissolve all the power that had just rebounded.
