Chapter 62: The Tao Can Be Stealed
Zhang Yan walked around the stall in the square, which disappointed him, but he didn't find a magic weapon that made him feel satisfied.
Although there were a lot of strange items on the stall, they couldn't find good treasures, which immediately extinguished his excitement.
"Third Young Master, where are you going, you can't act alone in this assessment. ”
Suddenly, an abrupt voice came from behind him.
Zhang Yan turned his head and found that Ximen Ying was stopped by an old man.
The old man's back was slightly bowed, and beside him stood two men and a woman, both seventeen or eighteen years old.
Two teenagers, one with an indifferent face, and the other with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
And the girl was looking at Simon Ying curiously at the moment, her eyes gurgling, revealing the eccentricity of the elves.
The girl's performance made the faces of the two teenagers behind her change slightly, and they both frowned slightly.
Then he looked at Simon Shadow full of hostility, and the cold light and jealousy in his eyes flickered staggered.
Ximen Ying bowed to the old man slightly, with an indifferent smile on his face, and said: "Fourth Elder, I finally came out of the clan, I want to have a good time alone, anyway, this assessment will not be too dangerous, you don't have to worry." ”
"Of course, the old man believes in the strength of the third young master, but just yesterday, the ancestor of the clan, for you, sent a message talisman with a jade slip for you, you can read it first. ”
The old man frowned slightly at Ximen Ying's attitude, but he looked quite helpless, and then turned over his hand and took out a jade slip and handed it to Ximen Ying.
"What, the old ancestor has come out of retreat? Great, let me see what the old ancestor says!"
Ximen Ying directly ignored the old man, took the jade slip without any image, and put the jade slip on his eyebrows with excitement on his face.
But after a while, he was originally excited, but after reading the content of the jade slip, his whole face immediately collapsed, his hands were clasped in front of his chest, his mouth was slightly pursed, full of bitterness, and he looked at Zhang Yan helplessly.
"Brother Simon, is this?"
Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw Ximen Ying acting like a child, which made him have an illusion, will the other party be a daughter?
But he didn't think much about it, and said suspiciously.
"Brother Zhang, it's the ancestor who is here, this assessment wants me to stay with the clansmen, and I can't go shopping with you when I come down, I'm really sorry. Ximen Ying had a bitter face and said helplessly.
"Brother Simon, where are these words, since the elders have orders, you should do it, and I am used to being alone, so it is okay. ”
Zhang Yan could see that Ximen Ying was really respectful and afraid of the ancestors of his clan, otherwise he would not have looked so aggrieved.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Zhang, this is a token of our Ximen family, if we pass the assessment of the ancient sword gate together, it is okay, if there is an accident, there will be a chance in the future, with this token, come to the Ximen family to find me at any time, and others will not be embarrassed by you." ”
Ximen Ying knew that the farewell of Lu Dao was imminent, and he felt that with the cultivation of the seventh layer of Zhang Yan's Qi refining period, in the next assessment, under the genius disciples of various families or small sects appeared one after another, it was difficult to have a chance, and he would see each other again in the future, and he didn't know when Lu Dao would be.
"Since that's the case, the little brother will accept it, and Brother Simon's life-saving grace, if you have the opportunity in the future, you should **** come to the door to thank you!"
After getting along for a few days, Zhang Yan deeply felt the sincerity and open-mindedness of the other party, and he was really a little reluctant.
However, in the future cultivation path, whether it is outside or in the sect, he prefers to be alone, mainly because he has many secrets that cannot be revealed.
After chatting with Ximen Ying for a few words, Zhang Yan said goodbye and left.
It's just that when he turned around, he could faintly hear the old man's whispered words to warn Ximen Ying, which was nothing more than that the other party was single and inexperienced, and if he met someone with evil thoughts, he didn't know how he died.
Zhang Yan could only shake his head secretly, as if he hadn't heard it, but he still had a slight sense of loss in his heart, and Ximen Ying had been with him for a few days, it was the first time since the tragic killing of the tiger on Tuesday that he could get along with people so casually.
Now that he is saying goodbye, he is inexplicably a little reluctant and sad, but after the end, he still cleaned up his mood a little and disappeared into the crowd.
When he entered Fang City, Zhang Yan had already planned and planned, and before the ancient sword gate assessment arrived, he had to make preparations.
The defensive magic weapon on his body and the flying sword used for flying were all scrapped in the fight in the misty jungle, and he had to buy a defensive magic weapon and a flying magic weapon.
After walking around the stalls in the square, he couldn't find anything satisfactory, so he could only go to the shops that specialized in selling magic weapons, and he didn't know if the spirit stones in the storage bag were enough.
"Oops, I forgot to ask when the assessment of the apprentices of the Ximen Shadow Ancient Sword Sect began. ”
Zhang Yan walked halfway before he remembered the matter of the ancient sword sect accepting disciples.
But then I thought about it, and when it was time to buy the magic weapon, I just asked the owner of the shop by the way, so I thought about it, and started to walk towards the market deep in the valley.
Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, he was rubbed by a person who walked briskly behind him, and inadvertently, he almost stumbled.
When he looked up, he was bumped into by a young man with an extremely strange appearance.
The two eyebrows were thick and black, flying straight into the sideburns, the eyes were small, a row of teeth ran out bare, and he was dressed in black clothes.
"This fellow Daoist, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. ”
The young man with an obscene appearance turned around and apologized to Zhang Yan again and again, and then turned around to leave.
"Stop!"
A soft shout sounded in the streets of Fang City, causing everyone to be stunned, and then stopped.
Zhang Yan was also stunned, stopped, looked back, and scolded four young men in brocade clothes, with different costumes, and a slight trace of pride on their faces, all of whom looked at it with a slightly calm face at the moment.
Zhang Yan doesn't think it has anything to do with him, and his appearance and dress are not conspicuous when thrown into the slums.
He turned his head and sure enough, he saw the lewd young man who bumped into him just now, his face was slightly pale at the moment, and he stopped and did not run away immediately.
Seeing this battle, Zhang Yan immediately understood.
Since it's none of my business, I don't bother to watch these excitement, it's important to prepare before the assessment.
Thinking about it is to keep going.
"And you, also stand for me, the boy with the broken umbrella on his back!"
Zhang Yan only took two steps before a very angry scolding came from behind him.
When he heard the broken umbrella on his back, he was sure that it was himself who was calling, and frowned slightly, but he still turned around and looked at the four teenagers behind him.
"You, hand over the things, I won't pursue it, okay?"
One of them, a young man in a navy blue robe, with his hands behind his back, with a hint of maturity between his eyebrows, pointed to the young man who looked obscene, and said with a little calm.
"This young master, it's none of my business, the villain is just a little bit of a stealing technique, it was this person who gave me a heavy treasure, and asked me to steal a white package from the young master's body, the villain doesn't know anything!
The obscene young man, who changed his face really badly, cried and mourned, pointed at Zhang Yan with one hand, and piled everything on Zhang Yan in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Yan was stunned, his mind almost went blank, he walked well, and he was inexplicably used as a shield as a substitute for the dead, and he instantly understood what was going on.
The anger in Zhang Yan's heart can be imagined, he once almost became a dead ghost in other people's blood refining, and now he has to be stabbed even when he walks on the street, how can he not be angry, and he can't care about the rules of this Xujiafang City, without saying a word, he swooped towards the obscene young man, and wanted to catch him and say: "Qingling Palm!"
A huge palm formed by spiritual power instantly appeared in the air of Fang City, and it slammed towards the obscene young man.
"Ah, you're going to kill someone!"
The lewd young man's face turned pale instantly, but he didn't look panicked at all, a small black banner suddenly appeared in his hand, and a little forward, a black mist instantly filled, and exploded with a "bang", and the smoke filled half of the streets of Fang City.
And the Qingling palm that Zhang Yan took was also shattered and disappeared between the smoke.
When the smoke filled, in addition to some black ash on the ground, there were still shadows of people.
"This fellow Daoist, how do you explain it?"
The young man in the navy blue robe had a slightly heavy face and spoke.
"Boy, hand over the things, or I'll kill you!"
This grim voice came from a young man in light blue clothes, with a hooked nose and a sharp flash in his eyes.
Zhang Yan failed to catch the obscene young man, and he couldn't explain it.
He didn't know if he was framed by the obscene young man, or if it was a pure prank by the four brocade-clothed young men who deliberately framed him, but in the streets of Fangshi, where everyone was in sight, it was difficult for him to justify it.
I saw that the next moment, Zhang Yan took out a package wrapped in a white cloth from his arms with a gloomy face.
However, it didn't look like there was anything important, and in order to clarify the situation, he still opened the package.
But what made him and the people in the streets of Fang City dumbfounded was that the white package was not an important treasure, but only a red belly pocket used by the friars.
"Daring, who told you to open the package! There's a cheatbook in it, where did you put it?"
The sharp-eyed hook-nosed young man saw that the package was opened, his face changed greatly, and he yelled at Zhang Yan.
And the other three teenagers beside him all frowned faintly, especially the navy blue boy, whose face was not very good-looking.
Anyone who carried such a thing beside him felt extremely embarrassed, and he was about to speak, but he didn't want the hook-nosed boy to hold back first.
"Looking for death, I think you want to swallow the cheats, but you used this indiscriminate means to put your belly pocket into my package, wild cultivators, there is really no good thing!"
After the hook-nosed boy finished speaking, an arrow came to Zhang Yan, snatched the package, and with a buzz in his hand, a fire bomb was issued, burning the package and the red belly pocket inside the package.
After doing all this, the young man looked at Zhang Yan with a cold light in his eyes, and said with a sneer: "Hmph, boy, hand over the cheats to me, then kneel down and apologize, cut off your arm, and I can let you go!"
Zhang Yan took a deep breath, looked at the other party, and sensed slightly, it was the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period.
As for the dark blue boy standing on the side, he was at the peak of the ninth layer of the Qi refining period, and his mana was so strong that even the second senior brother of the Northern Yuan Sect, who had already built the foundation back then, was inferior.
There are also two other teenagers, both of whom are at the ninth level of the Qi refining period, and their cultivation is profound, which should not be underestimated.
Only then did Zhang Yan understand what Xuyuanzi had said at the beginning, the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Luoshan City was really a remote corner as he said, and the level of Immortal Cultivation was too low.
The cultivation of these random ninth-level teenagers in the Qi refining period is even stronger than those elders who have built a foundation in the Beiyuan Gate, and it can only be said that the mana accumulated by the immortal cultivators in the area of the Beiyuan Gate before building the foundation is too thin, and even if they can build the foundation, the foundation is unstable and their strength is limited.
However, in terms of strength, these teenagers still have a gap compared to Ximen Ying, but Zhang Yan is not afraid.
"Yuncheng, don't be reckless, pay attention to the impact, this is Xujiafang City, it's not good to do it. ”
The navy blue boy frowned and stopped in a loud voice.
The other two teenagers also frowned slightly, but did not say anything.
"Hmph, Chen Shao, this is okay, presumably the Xu family will not fight against our Mu family for the sake of a loose cultivation. The hook-nosed boy didn't listen to the dissuasion, and instead said sharply to Zhang Yan, "What?
"This fellow Daoist, I really didn't take the thing, I was just framed and framed by others, the cheats should have been taken by the young man who stole it just now, I think you are also a clear-eyed person, you can't tell right from wrong, right?"
Although he was very unhappy to be framed, and the words of the young man in front of him were very harsh, Zhang Yan still held back, and if he could do less, he would have less trouble, so he still explained quietly and slowly.
"Looks like you're going to do it myself!"
The hook-nosed boy couldn't help himself, he was already annoyed by the belly pocket he had wrapped, because it was indeed something he was carrying.
The next moment, in the midst of the discussion of everyone and bystanders, the young man pinched his hand, and a blue water scissor appeared out of thin air and shot towards Zhang Yan.
The young man had long seen that Zhang Yan was just a seventh-level cultivator in the Qi Refining Period, and he was not to be afraid, at most one or two spells could defeat the other party.
After shooting a water archery, the young man dodged one after another, stood up into a knife, and slashed at Zhang Yan's arm, and there were also water blades on the palm of his hand that were hunting with cold light, reflecting a compelling light.
Although the young man made a sudden move, Zhang Yan had already prepared, and with a force under his feet, the whole person was like a lightning bolt, avoiding the water arrow, standing up with his palm, and meeting the young man's palm.
"Peng!"
Both of them took a few steps back, and their cultivation was comparable.
The hook-nosed young man's face suddenly became even more gloomy, and he couldn't imagine that he couldn't take a seventh-layer loose cultivation in the Qi refining period.
"This fellow Daoist, can you stop, if you have something to say, what have you lost, let's stop and solve it together?"
Zhang Yan frowned, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice.
Zhang Yan just used the strength of his own flesh just now, and with a random blow, he blocked the opponent's attack.
"Look for death!"
The hook-nosed young man ignored it, and he couldn't hit it with a blow, so that his face was slightly red, and he sacrificed a blue flying sword with a "boom", and slashed towards Zhang Yan, with a very loud momentum.
Zhang Yan's face became completely ugly, the strength of the young man in front of him was at most similar to Song Guyun, and now compared to the past, not only has his divine sense become stronger, but his bone forging skill has also been cultivated to the ninth level, if he faces Song Guyun again, he can easily beat him down, let alone the young man in front of him.
However, Xiu Wei fell to the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Period, but he still calmed down instantly, and his body was running with a strong mana, and the mana under his feet disappeared in a flash.
The next moment, Zhang Yan had already dodged the opponent's flying sword, flashed directly in front of the young man, unceremoniously lifted the Qingling palm, and slapped it down in an instant!
"Bang!"
This time, it was not the two of them who retreated, but the young man was slapped by Zhang Yan and flew out.
This is the strength that Zhang Yanqing's spirit palm and bone forging skills operate together, at this moment he doesn't want to do too much entanglement, no matter how he justifies, it is useless, and he can only speak with strength.
The hook-nosed boy was slapped and fell to the other three teenagers, one arm drooping, and a mouthful of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"You dare to make a heavy hand and look for death!"
The two teenagers, who had been silent before, finally couldn't help it anymore at this time, and shouted loudly one after another, wanting to make a move.
"Stop it!"
The young man in navy blue clothes finally shouted loudly at this time, his face was extremely ugly, he helped the injured young man up, then turned to look at Zhang Yan, and said slowly: "This Taoist friend, Chen Guhan in the Xia Chen family, is my friend who is reckless, Chen apologizes here, as for the secret book, I think it should have nothing to do with Daoyou." ”
"In that case, I'm going to take my leave!"
Zhang Yan's face softened slightly, this dark blue young man was very calm, and what he said also made him feel good, but he still didn't want to stay longer, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and left.
"Chen Shao, why did you let him leave like this!"
The injured hook-nosed boy couldn't help but shout loudly when he saw Zhang Yan leave.
Due to excessive anger, the green muscle thug has a hideous face.
"Hmph, don't you think it's enough to lose your Mu family's face? Do you know that young man's strength? Don't look at the other party's cultivation at the seventh level of the Qi refining period, but if I do it just now, I may not be his opponent, how can I leave him behind!" Chen Guhan ignored the injured young man's words, his face was cold, and he snorted coldly.
"What? Even you're no match for him?"
The injured young man knew Chen Guhan's strength very well, and when he heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and the other two teenagers' faces also changed slightly.
"Chen Shao, the cheats in the package are very important, it was obtained from an evil cultivator last time in Yuncheng, and he specially searched for the soul of the evil cultivator, and the information obtained from it said that the cheats were actually obtained from a thief of the ancient sword emperor tomb in Moyunling, but the cheats are too old to study at all, but I think it should be a very precious cheats. ”
The young man of the Mu family called Cloud City explained in a deep voice.
"What? It's actually the tomb of the Ancient Sword Emperor! I understand, the obscene-looking young man just now should come from a mysterious thief in the immortal cultivation world, if I guess correctly, this person is either a descendant of the Ancient Sword Emperor who can be stolen or one of the inheritance disciples! Let's go quickly and return to the inn where the family is located. Chen Guhan, who had always been extremely calm, changed his face for the first time, and said in a cold voice.
The other three teenagers' faces were slightly pale, and they all fell silent, followed behind Chen Guhan, and left in a hurry.
