Chapter 54: The Past Is Only Sad (1)
Monks usually choose a safe ashram for retreat and consolidation, but Miss Gui, a genius who has come out of the temple once in a thousand years, said that the environment of the Dan Room is elegant and the temperature is suitable, and naturally no one will object to it.
Hu Wenshu personally arranged a Dan room with the most complete equipment in the alchemy room and the most stable Danhuo, if it weren't for Osmanthus and Gui Yuan's resolute refusal, he would have planned to lend them his exclusive Dan room.
Zhang Meng looked awe-inspiring and inviolable, opened the ban with his own hands to close the Dan room, and directly locked Mao Weiwu, who wanted to enter with high spirits, outside.
Mao Chongwu scratched his head in front of the door of the Dan room and was puzzled, it was really strange and strange, why did Senior Sister Zhang become more beautiful overnight, but her temperament was not as gentle and amiable as before? He was overjoyed in his heart, and was about to say two decent words about the scene, when he saw Zhang Meng turn around and bring out Wang Dazhi behind him, and then closed the door again without hesitation.
Not to mention the two men outside who were indignantly denouncing Zhang Meng's rudeness, but there was tension in the Dan room.
Osmanthus took out the five magic pills from the Dan furnace in Longan, and even the broken ones carefully collected the fragments, and laid them out on the Dan platform together, then turned his head and said, "Senior Sister Zhang, where is the one you got?"
Zhang Meng hesitated for a moment, and also took out a Dan sac from his body. It turns out that the Dan Capsule can not only store the elixir spirit grass to prevent the leakage of spiritual energy, but it is also a half-space spiritual weapon, which is very convenient to use. She used to go in and out of the alchemy room often, in addition to chasing and intercepting the gross weight five, she found an opportunity to buy one for herself, which was almost the most valuable item on her body.
Zhang Meng didn't dare to leave the magic pill in the hut where he lived. It can only be put in the medicine bag and carried with him, but he accidentally sealed the aura and demon qi together, and no one noticed it.
This elixir was placed next to the five taken out of the hollow of the tree, and it looked a little smaller in comparison, although it was barely intact, but the skin was pitted and mutilated, and the color was extra dull, and it looked even more miserable than the one that was broken in half.
Zhang Meng is also a bachelor, and without waiting for Osmanthus and Guiyuan to ask, he talked about his experience before and after getting the magic pill.
"I knew about the big hole in the bottom of the tree twelve years ago. She looked at the magic pills, her eyes were a little scattered, and she began to talk about them.
Twelve years ago, Zhang Meng was still called Zhang Daya, only about three or four years old, but she had already experienced the hardships of the world, and even felt the horror of death.
Even Bai Shengxue didn't know that her mother was actually just the maid of the Zhang family, and she was probably favored, so when Master Zhang fled with the whole family, he never left behind their mother and daughter.
In the years that followed, Zhang Meng dreamed countless times that he was walking in the midst of the chaos of the army, with no way to come and no place to go, and the refugees gathered to flee, and the queue was long with no end in sight. They tried to find a place to stay, but everywhere they were the same hell on earth.
Zhang Daya is young and frail, although there is always not enough food to eat, but at least there is a car to save physical strength. It's just that I don't know when the donkeys and horses pulling the carts disappeared one by one, and after that, even the family gradually became fewer.
The eldest girl's mother began to try to keep her daughter like a mother animal guarding her cubs, and when she missed it, she would become nervous, and she wanted to keep her in front of her eyes at all times. Sometimes Zhang Meng hates her early wisdom, and her mother's big eyes full of panic and fear have become memories that she dare not easily touch in her heart.
However, it was the mother who encountered the misfortune first. One evening, she used her bony fingers to gently massage Zhang Daya's high belly - hungry people have become spider-like, limbs are skinny, but their bellies are swollen and hard as iron. Suddenly, two men barged in, grabbed her shoulders and took her away. The eldest girl recognized it as her half-brother, their eyes were numb and hollow, and they did not say a word, and strangely enough, the mother did not make any sound, and her expression was dull as if she were a dead person. She hugged her daughter, but after all, she didn't say anything, and just let them take her away without resistance. Zhang Meng looked back, not sure if she saw a trace of relief and calm in her eyes at that time.
It was already the second day that they were close to the outer boundary of Kwai Ying City, and the grain brought by the Zhang family had long been gone, and they were trapped here and couldn't move.
Zhang Meng told with a calm expression, but Gui Yuan listened to the cold air all over his body, and the bloody records he had read in his previous life were turned over and over in his mind: the old thin man called it "Rao the fire", the woman and the young Ai were called "not envious sheep", the child called it "and the bones are rotten", and the eyes were "two-legged sheep". Zhu Cang, Fu Deng and Huang Chao have all had legends of eating people and even using human flesh as military rations. But these horror stories, which should only exist in the history of old books, actually reappeared in another world, making Gui Yuan feel dizzy and uncomfortable.
She struggled to recall the situation twelve years ago, when she had just been born, and as a mother-fetal traveler, it was naturally impossible for her to be as ignorant as a real baby. But in my memory, it was clearly a good year. In fact, because of the blessing of a capable land master, Kwai Ying Castle has been in good weather almost every year, and he has never heard of refugees entering the country.
"People born in Kwai Ying City probably would never have believed that there would be so much misfortune in this world. Because the immortals have kept all their misfortunes out of the city for them. Zhang Meng sneered with hatred, "And a lowly existence like us is naturally not allowed to enter this blessed land on earth." Even if they cry and die outside the city, the immortals are afraid that they won't even move their eyelids. ”
The Zhang family, like all the refugees who had hit a wall before, was blocked fifty miles away from Kwai Ying City. Some of the people who came a few days ago have left in despair, and some of them still beg for mercy from the immortals. There are also people who see their relatives die helplessly, and they are desperate to take risks between grief and anger, and they actually want to storm the level. It's a pity that the power of mortals is really small and pitiful in the face of immortal arts, and immortals don't even need to show their faces, and a few prohibitions can easily crush these rebellious mortals into powder.
Zhang Meng's gaze swept over the pimple-like magic pill again, and his expression seemed to be self-pitying and self-deprecating, "I'm probably too thin, even if I eat it, no one wants to eat it." After my mother died, I didn't live long, but I didn't expect to be taken away. That person should have bad intentions and planned to sacrifice this magic pill with me, but it was all thanks to him that I was able to sneak into the forbidden area of Kwai Ying City, and finally rescued Gou and survived. ”
