The moonlight shone through the wooden window and filled the room, and Zhong Ming and Zhang Nianchen sat cross-legged across from each other.

Zhang Nianchen's face hesitated, and he said only after half a sound: "Actually, my identity is very special, I am not an ordinary Taoist priest of Youfang, I was born in the palace......"

"Imperial Palace, you are also from the Li family?"

As soon as he sent away a hidden prince and a person from the palace appeared, Zhong Ming frowned slightly, and secretly said that he was on a bar with the emperor's family.

Shaking his head, Zhang Nianchen said bitterly: "My surname is Ji." ”

After the former Chen Chen Wu Emperor Ji Yan?

His mind was racing, and thousands of thoughts flashed in Zhong Ming's heart, and he was shocked, and quickly analyzed the origin of Zhang Nianchen.

Zhang Nianchen, the homonym is Zhang Nianchen, since the moment Zhang Nianchen told Zhong Ming his name, Zhong Ming should have guessed, after the royal family, his name is Nian Chen.

After thinking for a while, Zhong Ming sneered, shook his head and said, "Blame me for being stupid, I didn't even guess your origin, after the royal family, you are the descendant of Emperor Chen Wu Ji Yan." ”

"I was able to escape the catastrophe of burning Emperor Wu's Palace eight years ago, and I have to thank my master for saving his life. ”

Zhang Nianchen slowly lowered his head, his voice was very low, and he whispered: "Zhong Jushi, my father is Ji Yan, I was born to be tied to the national fortune of Qianchen, Qianchen died, and I will not live to be eighteen years old with the national fortune of the true dragon, and only by living under a person with a very special personality can I survive."

Correspondingly, if you agree, my dead True Dragon Fortune will also affect you, and maybe, in the future, you will have to carry a lot of things that you shouldn't carry.

Even so, would you still be willing to help me?"

"I don't want to. ”

Zhong Ming smiled very sincerely, Zhang Nianchen's expression was stagnant, and the loss was fleeting in his eyes, and he smiled bitterly: "This is not to blame Zhong Jushi, it is your love to help, it is your duty not to help, maybe my Zhang Nianchen's life should be like this." ”

It is human nature not to be willing to bear the calamity of innocence.

Haha smiled, Zhong Ming patted Zhang Nianchen's shoulder and continued: "I don't want to, but I promised your master, in exchange, even if I don't want to, I have to do it."

Being so pessimistic, although the former Chen is dead, but the change of dynasties is the inevitable wheel mark of the progress of history, maybe your master lied to you, how can anyone really tie his life to the fortunes of the country. ”

Staring at Zhong Ming in surprise, Zhang Nianchen was stunned by Zhong Ming's not funny joke again.

Patting Zhang Nianchen on the shoulder, Zhong Ming said, "I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be just this little thing...... You hurry up and sleep and rest, and when you wake up tomorrow, we have to prepare for the ritual of borrowing your life. ”

After speaking, Zhong Ming turned over and lay down, closed his eyes and began to rest.

Staring at Zhong Ming's back, Zhang Nianchen smiled, he got up and kowtowed to Zhong Ming: "Thank you for saving your life, Zhong Jushi." ”

Zhong Ming didn't answer and continued to pretend to be asleep.

When Zhang Nianchen also lay down to rest, Zhong Ming slowly opened his eyes and sighed in his heart.

In front, Li Jianye kowtowed to him, and Zhang Nianchen kowtowed to him to thank him, these two Dali, how could he stand Zhong Ming.

Byrne, who has two generations of court princes, is about to change the direction of Zhong Ming's life.

......

Zhong Ming didn't sleep well this night, there were some bizarre scenes in his dreams, and he woke up before the big rooster of Liang Yu's family crowed.

The sky was slightly bright, Zhong Ming turned around and saw that Zhang Nianchen was still asleep, and he got up quietly.

After walking out of the house, he saw that the old Taoist priest Zhang Daozhen was already practicing boxing, Zhong Ming washed his face and watched the old Taoist priest compare the strange boxing techniques.

When Zhang Daozhen regained his momentum, he took a long breath and said: "Eight years ago, I was entrusted by my senior brother to take a child in the imperial capital, he is Ji Yan's third son, not the smartest, nor the most Taoist, but this child is the kindest, born in the emperor's family, but has the nature of a good doctor.

I owe Ji Yan a favor in Longmen Mountain, this favor, I want to use my senior brother to protect the former Chen Guoyun, and if I can't protect it, I have to protect an incense for his Ji family. ”

"You don't have to explain it to me, I just know that I made a deal with you when you saved the Silt Village. Zhong Ming said in a low voice.

Zhang Daozhen sighed: "Deal, it's also true, my brother and I are just a deal."

There are many transactions in this world that arise because of interests, but in the end, they are all sincere in exchange for sincere fulfillment of promises.

Zhong Jushi, you are a good person. ”

was issued a good person card, Zhong Ming smiled helplessly, and said: "You should hurry up and prepare for the matter of borrowing your life, don't sigh here." ”

Zhang Daozhen also smiled, his smile was full of vicissitudes, and his empty eyes looked into the distance, as if he remembered something from the past.

Zhang Daozhen is the most rooted disciple of Longmen Mountain in the past hundred years, he was taken up the mountain by You Fang's master when he was nine years old, and stayed in the mountain for 20 years.

When the twenty-nine-year-old Zhang Daozhen came out of the mountain, he was already in the first realm of Huidan, stronger than his master's exercises, and he was the wind and rain figure of the entire rivers and lakes as soon as he got off the mountain.

This blind veteran was not blind back then, he was also a suave and dignified celebrity in the rivers and lakes, Zhang Daozhen of Longmen Mountain, the martial arts eighty years ago, who didn't know, who didn't know?

The sword slashed Liu Ying, the thief of red flowers, and broke into the palace in the middle of the night to enjoy a flash in the pan, and joined hands with Su Tingyou to destroy the Red Blood Sect......

The wind and rain in the rivers and lakes are a few sorrowful, riding horses in the world, sake in the throat, dancing swords in drunkenness, laughing and talking with you, and cutting dragons in the waves yesterday.

Zhang Daozhen, who was young and frivolous, also had his rivers and lakes.

After traveling in the rivers and lakes for so many years, when Zhang Daozhen returned to the sect again, it was already the Huidan Mahayana period, and the entire Longmen Mountain had no more hope than Zhang Daozhen to get a glimpse of the infant realm.

He regretted doing one thing, that is, he mistakenly believed in his senior brother in charge, entered the forbidden place behind the Longmen Mountain Waterfall, and watched the follow-up of the infant exercise left by Zhang Daoling.

This look is to lose a pair of eyes, be expelled from Longmen Mountain, and be barred from returning to the sect for life.

The world thinks that Zhang Daozhen is famous for his travels, but he doesn't know that he can't go back to his own sect, for many years, Zhang Daozhen has dreamed of going back to Longmen Mountain and giving his master a stick of incense.

Back then, if it weren't for the senior brother in the former Chen Palace who was willing to speak out to protect himself, I am afraid that this life would be lost on the mountain.

For a long time, Zhang Daozhen was glad that he survived, but in the past few years, he has always thought that it was good to die in the mountains back then, at least the fallen leaves returned to the roots, right?

One report and one report, today I saved Zhang Nianchen's life, and I can also repay my brother's life-saving grace.

Putting away his smile, Zhang Daozhen pulled Zhong Ming and muttered, "Zhong Jushi, will Lao Dao tell you a story?"

"What kind of story, I don't want to hear it, Lao Dao, you still hurry up and prepare for the change of life. ”

Ignoring Zhong Ming's resistance, Zhang Daozhen said to himself: "Eighty years ago, there was a rookie in the martial arts......

After listening to what he said, Zhong Ming still listened to the story told by Zhang Daozhen, he looked at Zhang Daozhen's empty eyes, and sighed: "Old Dao, you did well enough, your senior brother saved your life that day, and now you have fulfilled his wish, and it has come to an end." ”

"It's over, it's just that Poor Dao really wants to go back to Longmen Mountain to see, I'm afraid that after doing this Fa thing, I won't have a chance. ”

Zhang Daozhen sighed, his face full of vicissitudes.

......

The ritual of borrowing orders was still carried out as scheduled, and soon after Zhang Nianchen woke up, he was called to the hall by Zhang Laodao.

In the Li family's hut, Zhang Daozhen drew eighteen paper talismans with cinnabar, and the talismans floated around the room, and two copper lamps were placed on the table in the room.

Zhang Daozhen's expression was serious, his hands turned into sword fingers, and he said: "Qi!"

Eighteen paper talismans began to rotate slowly, and they could be seen vaguely, and the pale yellow cover enveloped the three of them.

This formation is called the "Concealing Heaven Array", which is specially used to isolate the heavenly machine, and is suitable for all kinds of things that change the sky and change your life by stealing the heavenly machine.

The formation has been completed, Zhang Daozhen pointed to the copper lamp and said, "You two, put your blood into the copper lamp respectively." ”

Standing in front of the table Zhang Nianchen and Zhong Ming, they both held a knife in their hands, cut the opening in their palms, and blood flowed out and slowly flowed into the copper lamp.

The copper lamp is the style of the oil lamp of the rosette, this kind of lamp is very oily, Zhong Ming feels that he has put half a bowl of blood, and he has not donated so much blood in his previous life.

When he let out the blood, Zhang Nianchen next to him hurriedly bandaged Zhong Ming's wound, Zhong Ming saw that his own hand was still bleeding, waved his hand and said, "I'll come by myself, you better get it for yourself first." ”

Zhang Nianchen felt guilty in his heart, and always felt sorry for Zhong Ming.

"Boy, put the wick. ”

Under Zhang Laodao's instructions, Zhang Nianchen took out a strange wick, which was a very thick wick with a forked end and was in two copper lamps.

The wick was put away, Zhang Daozhen recited words in his mouth, pointing to the wick and constantly chanting the mantra.

With a bang, the wick made a strange noise, and a blood-colored flame ignited, and the blood in the copper lamp fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the moment when the flames danced, Zhong Ming felt a chill behind him, and he felt that something was flowing out of his body.

The two true qi in his dantian were surging uneasily, Zhong Ming did not suppress them, and the two true qi flowed around, smashing around like headless flies in his body, as if looking for what had hurt Zhong Ming.

The forbidden law of borrowing life and harming the origin of life, no matter how easy the old Tao said, it also has a great impact on Zhong Ming.

Almost at the same time, Zhong Ming and Zhang Nianchen both fell to the ground, gasping frantically.

Zhong Ming raised his eyes to look at Zhang Nianchen, his face was pale, his weak body was trembling, and he was looking down at himself, although he was a little weak, he was much better than Zhang Nianchen.

Over there, Zhang Daozhen finished reciting the incantation, and also sat cross-legged on the ground, as a spellcaster, the pressure on Lao Dao was not comparable to the two of them.

The two-color Xuandan in his jade gourd rose without calling and slowly rotated around Zhang Daozhen.

Zhang Daozhen looked nervous and said: "Be optimistic about the lamp, and when the blood in the lamp burns out, don't let the flame go out." ”

"It's Master!"

Zhang Nianchen answered, and wanted to get up several times, but his trembling body couldn't do it.

Zhong Ming gritted his teeth and stood up and said, "Don't move, I'll come and see." ”

Standing on the table, Zhong Ming stared at the blood in the copper lamp, judging that it would probably take a cup of tea to burn out.

Time passed little by little, and seeing that the blood in the copper lamp was about to bottom out, Zhong Ming's body became more and more weak.

Looking at Zhang Nianchen on the ground again, he was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and in a trance, Zhong Ming saw that there was a yellow light in his body connected to him.

It was a lot of dense light, fluttering into his body, in the dantian, in the chest, everywhere on the forehead.

If you look closely at the rays, they look like swimming dragons, but these dragons have strange shapes, some have no head horns, some have no scales and claws, and they don't look like real dragons.

Zhong Ming was a little worried, and he said, "I saw a lot of dragons drilling out of the little Taoist's body. ”

"Normal, these can only be seen by you and Nianchen, this is the former Chen Guoyun in his body looking for shelter, and in the future, these national fortune dragon qi will reside in your body. ”

Hearing Zhang Daozhen's answer, Zhong Ming asked suspiciously: "That little Taoist priest has no luck, what will he do in the future?"

"The so-called borrowing of life is just to give you what he can't bear in his body, and in the future, my disciple's life will become an ordinary person, and if an outsider inquires, it will be exactly the same as your life. ”

After speaking, Zhang Daozhen asked: "How is the blood in the copper lamp, it is considered a complete success when it is burned out." ”

Glancing at the copper lamp, Zhong Ming replied, "There is still a bottom left, about a fifth." ”

Nodding, Zhang Daozhen stopped talking, and ran the Concealment Formation with all his strength to ensure that nothing would go wrong at the last moment.

But the sky always doesn't follow people's wishes, and at this moment, the wall outside the formation was suddenly pierced by a yellow light, and the copper-colored giant sword rushed in from outside the yellow mud embryo wall like cutting tofu.

Zheng –

The bronze sword looked at the yellow light of the formation, and the blade stabbed straight in.

Zhang Daozhen, who was maintaining the formation, spitted blood, and the copper sword smashed the yellow light, and the blade went straight to the lamp, and the lamp was extinguished with a sword.

The bronze sword groaned softly, revolving around Zhong Ming, and the blade of the sword was pointed at Zhang Daozhen, as if to protect Zhong Ming.

"What's going on?"

Looking at the copper-colored giant sword, Zhong Ming was stunned in front of him, and hurriedly grabbed the bronze sword that still wanted to hurt people, and roared angrily: "Juji, what are you going to do!"

Caught by Zhong Ming, the body of the bronze sword trembled slightly, broke free from Zhong Ming's obstruction, and insisted on killing Zhang Daozhen.

"Juque, stop!"

Fortunately, Yu Bai's voice came from outside the door at this time, and the copper-colored giant sword reluctantly stopped in mid-air.

One foot in front of the blade is Zhang Daozhen's forehead.

Zheng –

The bronze greatsword let out a soft groan unwillingly, and slowly flew back to Zhong Ming's side.

Such a change not only injured Zhang Daozhen, but also made Zhong Ming puzzled, looking at the appearance of the bronze sword, it was not to hurt himself, but to protect himself, why did it want to kill Zhang Daozhen?

In this delay, Yu Bai had already kicked open the wooden door and rushed into the house.

She looked around, frowned slightly, and then quickly supported Zhong Ming, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, why are you here?"

Shaking his head, the moment the lights went out, the restless blood in Zhong Ming's body stopped boiling, and his physical strength was slowly recovering, and he no longer had the weakness that Fang Cai had.

At this time, Zhang Nianchen, who was lying on the ground, also woke up slowly, he shook his head, looked at it suspiciously, hurriedly got up and ran to Zhang Daozhen's side, hugged Lao Dao and asked, "Master, Master, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Bai looked at Zhong Ming, then at Zhang Daozhen's master and apprentice, and sneered: "I didn't expect that there are such evil ways as you in this world, and you actually use the method of borrowing life to renew your life!"

The bronze sword Juque groaned softly, and with the angry shouts of the master, he shook his finger at Zhang Daozhen's master and apprentice.

Zhong Ming understood it, it should be that this bronze sword sensed that he was in danger, so he flew all the way here.

The bronze sword belonged to Yu Bai, and it had some connection with Yu Bai, and it informed its owner that Yu Bai had also rushed here.

Borrowing her life is an evil law in Yu Bai's eyes, and she came here to kill Zhang Daozhen's master and apprentice and protect Zhong Ming!

In addition to being moved, Zhong Ming sighed again.

Doing something wrong with good intentions, how can Zhong Ming blame this warm-hearted girl?
