The 144th Round: The Sinkhole Crypt
Seeing his miserable condition, Zhang Tong hurriedly rushed forward, held him up, and asked, "Master, are you okay?"
Zhen Yuandao beat his spirit, barely passed out, and then quickly withdrew the flying sword, and took out a porcelain bottle from the five yin pouch, but this action had exhausted the little strength he had, and Zuihou couldn't even hold the small porcelain bottle.
Zhang Tong saw his intentions, hurriedly took it in his palm, opened the cap of the bottle with his hand, and fed Zhen Yuandao a red and black pill everywhere from it.
I don't know what kind of pill it is, after Zhen Yuandao took one pill, it didn't take a while, and it was already effective, so that he no longer vomited blood again and again, and even his face was slightly ruddy.
After waiting for a while, Zhen Yuandao raised his spirit a little, and looked back weakly at the location of the original Lingxi Temple, but at this time it had become a scorched earth, and all the old views no longer existed. Zhen Yuandao's face couldn't help but be gloomy, and he was seriously injured again, and for a while, sadness came from it, and he almost burst into tears.
Thanks to Zhen Yuandao, who is also a person with a tough heart, after a while, he finally endured it, took a good time, coughed, and sighed weakly: "I can't imagine that the foundation I have worked hard to manage all these years has been ruined by someone waving my hand, it's ridiculous that I got a flying sword, and I am still self-righteous, and I want to make a name for myself, but Zuihou ended up like this, it's really sad!"
When Zhang Tong saw him like this, he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only listen silently, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, the world is impermanent. Not long ago, because Zhen Yuandao got a flying sword, his cultivation rose sharply and his morale was high. The whole Lingxi Temple also looks thriving, and who would have thought that in just a few months, it has turned into powder and disappeared!
The eldest disciple Yin Chunlai, after being injured, has been raising the Xuanqi Ancestor just now, when he was still in the Lingxi Temple, he must not be spared. The second disciple Zhen Meng, because of his defection to the enemy, died at the hands of Wang Yi in Houshan. The third disciple Qian Jian even colluded with foreign enemies, and was cleared by Zhen Yuandao early. The two boys under the door, one Zhang Chun and one Zheng Rong, also died at the hands of Zhen Yuandao and were extracted from their essence blood to strengthen the formation. Now there are only Zhen Yuandao and Zhang Tong left, and there is a half-dead one, not a year and a half, don't want to recover.
Originally, because Zhang Chun and Zheng Rong were killed by Zhen Yuandao, Zhang Tong was jealous, and because of the Red Cloud Immortal, Zhang Tong had long planned to find an opportunity to stand on his own. First, you can avoid worrying every day, and prevent Zhen Yuandao from harming him. Second, with his gourd sword technique, even if he is not under Zhen Yuandao's disciple, it will not affect his future achievements.
But now in this situation, Zhang Tong can't just let go of Zhen Yuandao and leave, so he has to temporarily dispel these thoughts, and wait for Zhen Yuandao's injuries to heal, and then think about the long term, otherwise ignore it, once an enemy comes to the door, Zhen Yuandao will definitely die.
Zhang Tongnian had some master-apprentice righteousness in Zhen Yuandao's grace to bring him into the Dao, and he couldn't bear it, at this time, let him fend for himself. Fortunately, although Zhen Yuandao's injuries were serious, he had a deep foundation, and he had just taken the medicine for his injuries, and after a while, he no longer felt sorry for himself, and finally calmed down, so he took a good time and said to Zhang Tong: "That's it! This disaster must be my destiny." I don't want to! I don't want to! Tong'er, about 100 miles east from here, there is one of my other courtyards, which is usually unknown to outsiders. Now that the division has been seriously injured, it turns out that many enemies are going to take advantage of the fire to rob, so let's go there for a while and then order you to do something important for the division. β
Zhang Tong had already made up his mind, first accompanied Zhen Yuandao to heal his injuries, and when he heard what he said, he immediately agreed to come down, and then directly set up the black spirit escape, and flew straight to the place Zhen Yuandao said.
It's just that during this period, Zhen Yuandao suddenly discovered that Zhang Tong's true qi was actually very strong, and he urged Wuling to fly out for nearly a hundred miles in one breath and didn't have the strength to rest, and he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, secretly guessing whether Zhang Tong had any adventures in the past two years, or what opportunity he had gotten hidden from him?...,
But now in this situation, he didn't dare to interrogate, for fear that one would be bad, and he would turn to provoke Zhang Tong. Because he is ruthless and has a cold personality by nature, he also treats others with himself, guessing that Zhang Tong is the same as him.
At this time, Zhang Tong didn't know what he was thinking, so he flew straight to the east, and without a moment's effort, he had already seen from a distance, hidden in a mountain forest, there was a huge sinkhole, with a diameter of more than ten zhang.
This kind of sinkhole is extremely common in the southwest mountains, among which there are big and small, the big one is a thousand zhang, and the small one is also four or five zhang square, the depth is different, very peculiar.
This sinkhole looks outside, there is nothing special, only according to the guidance of Zhen Yuandao, Zhang Tong fell into the pit, the distance from the bottom, about five zhang, on the south-facing cliff, find a seven or eight feet square entrance, and only when you enter it do you know that there is a cave.
Because the entrance of the stone cave is extremely narrow, it can accommodate one person to pass through, but further inside, about seven or eight zhang away, it suddenly opens up again, as if naturally forming a hall, there are five or six zhang square around, and there are many stalagmites densely counted down on the top, and at first glance it seems to be a cluster of arrows.
Along the perimeter of this hall, three small rooms were excavated, each of which was two zhang square, one of which was a study, a quiet room, and a Dan room. After Zhen Yuandao came in with Zhang Tong, he immediately couldn't wait and broke into the Dan room.
Zhang Tong followed closely behind, and also took advantage of the situation to follow, only to see that in addition to a huge bronze Dan furnace in the center, this Dan room only leaned against the south wall, and there was a medicine cabinet made of rosewood.
Zhen Yuandao didn't care that Zhang Tong was still there, he went straight to the third grid on the left side of the medicine cabinet, opened it and took out a large ginseng as thick as a child's arm, I don't know how many years it has grown, but he is like eating a radish, "click" and gnawed it.
Zhang Tong saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but secretly speak, and said in his heart: "My master really still has some family background, otherwise I would be reluctant to take this ginseng that has been waiting for years and years to eat it like this!"
At the same time, after Zhen Yuandao chewed the ginseng, his complexion immediately improved a lot, and he spoke with a little more confidence than just now, so he found a futon and sat down on the spot, and then turned around and said to Zhang Tong: "Tong'er, thanks to you this time, otherwise I am afraid that my life as a teacher will be tied there!"
Zhang Tong hurriedly responded, and he had already made up his mind to leave Zhen Yuandao sooner or later and set up his own door, so at this time, he was not in a hurry to ask for credit, and asked again: "Master, look, now that the Lingxi Temple is gone, what should we do next?"
When he heard Zhang Tong say that the word was gone, Zhen Yuandao still couldn't help but tremble, and there was a trace of pain in his eyes, but he quickly recovered, waited for him to ponder for a while, and then said lightly: "This is the teacher's own plan, don't rush it for the time being, there is another matter, you need to do it quickly." β
Before coming here just now, Zhen Yuandao had said that Empress Rong still had important things to tell Zhang Tong to do, and when he mentioned it again, Zhang Tong was not surprised, and immediately promised him.
Originally, Zhen Yuandao was not at ease to hand over some important matters to others, especially when he found out that Zhang Tong had some unknown secrets just now, but now, as a last resort, the disciples around him were killed and injured, so he had to rush to do the right thing, trust Zhang Tong for the time being, and wait until the injury is healed, and then come to think about it in the long run.
Zhen Yuandao nodded slightly and said, "Listen up!" Not far from here, you went out of the cave, and then walked south, about twenty miles, and encountered a river. You swim along the river xiangxia, and there are more than 100 miles, there is a sandbar. When you see the sandbar, look for the cliff by the river, and there is a fruit tree growing in the middle of a rock crevice. Because the location is hidden, you need to be careful, find the fruit tree, and pick a green fruit to come back. β...,
After saying that, he also specially reminded Zhang Tong that he must not pick more, because the fruit tree is cherished, and it will only blossom and bear fruit in a hundred years, and there are only eleven in total. Zhen Yuandao inadvertently discovered this fruit tree a few years ago, but he didn't dare to pick it because he saw that the year was not enough, and he was afraid that it would lose its efficacy.
I wanted to wait another one or two decades, those fruits were fully grown, and then I picked them all, or used them for alchemy, or swallowed them directly, which could help him break through the entrance of heaven and earth and impact the realm of refining gods.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, no matter how Zhen Yuandao calculates, he didn't expect to be seriously injured on the hands of Xuanqi Ancestor, which directly damaged the viscera meridians, if there is no elixir immortal fruit, it will be difficult to recover even if he recuperates for ten years.
Zhen Yuandao couldn't help it, he really couldn't think of anything else that could save himself except for that fruit tree. Only then did he reveal this secret to Zhang Tong, and he was still afraid that Zhang Tong would be greedy when he spoke, so he said: "Tong'er! You must remember that the fruit tree is an ancient spiritual root, and it is not easy to produce a few fruits! Now you are the only apprentice left as a teacher, and when the melons are ripe and fall in the future, there will naturally be no shortage of you, and you will be given two at that time, which will be enough for you to use, and you must not kill chickens and take eggs!
Zhang Tong saw that Zhen Yuandao was very concerned about the fruit tree, and he was a little disapprehensive at first, but after thinking about it again, Zhen Yuandao was cunning and cunning, and he would never be untargeted.
Zhang Tong thought about it a little in his heart, and he was a little more curious, and he responded again and again, but he was thinking in his heart, I don't know what that fruit tree is, if it is really like Zhen Yuandao said, he will not hesitate to fill his own pockets, and do something from it a little.
As for Zhen Yuandao's promises, Zhang Tong didn't believe it at all, with Zhen Yuandao's temperament, such a precious thing would not be easily given to others, and he would be able to make more promises at this time, and when he was healed, how could he remember these words again!)
