I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 122 Return to the Village
It was another feast. Zhang Chen and Cheng Yu ate with relish, their mouths full of oil. Then they turned off the lights and went to bed.

Zhang Chen has been tortured by pain for the past seven days and has not had a good night's sleep. But what about Xiao Douding?
In order to take care of Zhang Chen, Xiao Douding has been living a reversed day and night life for the past seven days. He has dark circles under his eyes and naturally did not sleep well.

The two of them were full and lay on the bed hugging each other. Zhang Chen seemed to be holding his own daughter and fell into a deep sleep.

Time passed quickly. Suddenly, a bell rang outside the door. Zhang Chen was startled. It was the morning bell. However, Zhang Chen was too sleepy at this time. He was dazed and didn't want to get up. So he pushed Cheng Yu and said, "The bell for morning class has rung. Hurry up and wash up."

"I'm so sleepy, don't push me, I'll sleep a little longer. I don't need to wash up this morning, so there's still time." The little kid was half asleep, slapped Zhang Chen's hand away, and said unhappily.

The room fell into silence, and Zhang Chen did not get up. He had been wandering in the dark world last night, studying the world barrier in the dark world and thinking about ways to break the world barrier. He was exhausted and very sleepy.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly at some point, the little kid kicked off the quilt, turned over and sat up, his voice full of horror: "Zhang Chen! Get up! We overslept."

As he spoke, he kicked Zhang Chen wildly with his little feet. Then he stepped over Zhang Chen's body, picked up his shoes on the ground and started running without even bothering to put them on.

She had been working for seven days and her fingers were blistered. She didn't want to work for another seven days.

"Fuck!"

Zhang Chen on the bed woke up in shock, turned over and sat up, picked up his shoes without saying a word and put them on hastily, then chased after the little kid with his clothes in disarray.

The two ran all the way, but found that the Taoist temple was empty and there was no one in sight. At this moment, they felt more and more uneasy and hurriedly sped up.

Zhang Chen was the first to arrive, he picked up the little kid and carried him on his shoulders, running as fast as he could. Who likes to work? He even delayed his martial arts training.

Zhang Chen was moving very fast, rushing through the hall at lightning speed. From a distance, he saw that his fellow brothers had just lined up in formation and had not yet started their martial arts performance.

"I'm not late this time." Zhang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"stop!"

Unexpectedly, just as he stepped into the gate of the martial arts arena, he saw the law enforcement elder shouted with a gloomy face.

Zhang Chen had to stop and looked towards the law enforcement elder, only to see that the law enforcement elder lowered his head and looked at the incense burner on the table in front of him. At this time, the flame in the incense burner had burned out, and only the last bit of red light was flickering in tenacious struggle.

"You're late!" The law enforcement elder looked at Zhang Chen and Cheng Yu with dissatisfaction.

"There is still a little fire." Cheng Yu stared at the dim red spot and said crisply to the elder.

As the words fell, the ember of light burned out and fell completely into darkness.

"It's extinguished now." The law enforcement elder looked at the incense with a serious look in his eyes: "You don't have to attend the morning class today, and you are not allowed to eat breakfast. You will be punished to stand until noon."

Zhang Chen was speechless when he heard that. He led Cheng Yu, who was like an angry quail, to the stage of the martial arts field, and stood up obediently in front of the three thousand disciples.

Zhang Chen was speechless. He felt as if he was late for morning exercises in his previous life, caught by the teacher and made to stand in front of the podium as punishment.

Facing the strange looks from the three thousand disciples, the little kid gnashed his teeth in hatred: "The incense was almost extinguished, the law enforcement elder is so unkind."

Then the little bean lowered his head and rubbed the ground vigorously with his feet, as if to vent his dissatisfaction in his heart: "How embarrassing! It's really too embarrassing!"

"What's there to be ashamed of? How can there be so many people in this world paying attention to you? We should live our own lives." Zhang Chen was very thick-skinned and comforted the little kid.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu angrily stepped on Zhang Chen's foot and said unhappily, "It's all your fault. You kept me busy until the middle of the night and I didn't sleep well."

Zhang Chen looked at the little kid sideways when he heard that, feeling that there was something wrong with what he said.

"Don't you want to make some trouble?" Zhang Chen said meaningfully. He was asking the little kid if he didn't want to eat meat.
The little girl really stopped talking after hearing that, then lowered her head and puffed out her cheeks. Although it was embarrassing to be late, a smile appeared on her face when she thought about having meat in the evening.

At this time, the law enforcement elder walked up to the high platform, looked at the three thousand disciples in the martial arts arena, and said with a gloomy face: "In the past two months, two extremely serious incidents have occurred in the Taoist temple. Not only did someone steal meat from the kitchen in the middle of the night, but he also knocked out the disciple guarding the kitchen and beat him so hard that the back of his head was bleeding. This is simply outrageous."

"I know that the one who stole the meat must be one of you. Not only did you dare to steal meat in the middle of the night, but you also dared to injure the disciple who was guarding it. You are so bold! I have ordered people to search your room for evidence. I want to see who is so bold as to dare to do such a thing. If I find evidence, I will break your legs!" The law enforcement elder's voice was full of coldness.

Zhang Chen was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the vixen's old habit would come back again.

Xiao Douding kicked Zhang Chen's ankle at this time, and then the two looked at each other. Xiao Douding's eyes showed a trace of worry, but Zhang Chen smiled slightly, showing his white teeth, which surprised Xiao Douding: "Zhang Chen, you seem to have changed."

When the little kid saw Zhang Chen smile, he knew there was no evidence left. Looking at Zhang Chen's face, he suddenly spoke.

In the eyes of the little kid, Zhang Chen in front of him seemed to have become different. His skin was too delicate and too white!

The skin is so delicate that the pores are invisible, it is white with a rosy glow, and so tender and smooth that you seem to be able to squeeze water out of it, and it seems to be even more tender and smoother than your own skin.

"What's wrong with me?" Zhang Chen asked in surprise.

"Your family's genetic disease is so great. How could I get your family's genetic disease? I hope that when I get older, I can have skin as delicate as yours." The little bean's eyes were full of envy.

Zhang Chen raised his palm and took a look. His skin was indeed extremely delicate. Even the pores all over his body had disappeared. It seemed that his skin had become one whole, locking all the essence inside his body.

"What are you thinking about at such a young age?" Zhang Chen gave the little girl an unpleasant look. This girl seemed to be particularly precocious and started to be vain at a young age.

The martial arts performance was suspended today, and even the morning classes were suspended. It was not until noon that a law enforcement disciple was seen hurriedly walking from a distance, lowered his head and whispered in the elder's ear.

The elder frowned upon hearing this, his eyes were gloomy, and there seemed to be a storm in his eyes: "You are all really good, you actually did it so cleanly, I have learned a lesson today. But you'd better pray that you don't leave any clues every time. If you are discovered by me next time, it will not be a matter of breaking one or two legs." "Disperse!"

The law enforcement elder snorted coldly, turned around and left.

As the law enforcement elder left, the disciples dispersed, and their eyes swept over Xiao Douding and Zhang Chen, as if they were poor students being watched in the future. Zhang Chen didn't care. What was there to be upset about in his two lives? However, Xiao Douding on the side was overwhelmed with shame and lowered his head to look at his toes.

After everyone left, Xiao Douding looked at Zhang Chen unhappily and said, "It's all your fault. You made me lose such a big person."

"Oh? Should I call you next time when I eat meat?" Zhang Chen asked with a smile.

"If you dare not call me, I will let you know what the love from a senior sister means." The little kid waved his sandbag-sized fist.

It was not until noon that the two of them ran to the kitchen with rice buckets.

Fortunately, the two of them arrived not late this time. They each held a bucket of porridge and two steamed buns, and returned to the house to feast on them.

Zhang Chen just ate two bites of the steamed bun, put down the rice porridge and steamed bun, and handed them to the little kid: "I can't eat anymore!"

It would be strange if he could eat steamed buns and rice porridge after the stewed meat and noodles he had in the second half of the night.

The little kid also put down the wooden barrel that was bigger than his face, leaving the rice porridge untouched. He then stroked his bulging belly and said, "It turns out that eating too much is also a very uncomfortable thing."

"You practice martial arts to help digest the food, and I'll go upstairs to catch up on some sleep. You cleaned those two temples for me, and I've done your work for seven days. You have to pay me back." After saying this, the little kid covered his stomach and walked upstairs step by step.

After the little kid walked away, Zhang Chen closed the door and summoned the fox fairy Nannan out.

"There's something wrong with your little senior sister." Fox Fairy Nannan said directly.

"Of course I know something is wrong. I've never heard of anyone achieving the state of enlightenment at the age of five, unless his spiritual realm is so profound that it is difficult to predict." Zhang Chen said unhappily.

After complaining, he looked at the fox fairy Nannan and scolded her, "You were too rough in stealing the meat this time. If I hadn't been careful, I'm afraid we would have been exposed."

"Then I won't steal next time?" Fox Fairy Nannan looked at Zhang Chen unhappily. Did she want to steal the meat? It was obvious that someone had ordered her to do the dirty work, right?
"I'm just reminding you to be gentler and do things more nicely next time." Zhang Chen quickly changed his tone.

"Hypocrisy! When I move your things, I look disgusting. But when I move other people's things to you, it is natural. Haha, men!" The voice of the fox fairy Nannan was full of sneers.

Zhang Chen ignored the fox fairy Nannan's ridicule and thought about becoming an apprentice to learn writing.

The next step is to analyze the Huangting Sutra and study the great way of Qigong practitioners. He needs to interpret such important texts personally and dare not use others to do it. If something goes wrong or he is misled by others, he is afraid that something terrible will happen.

"I wonder if there's a private school somewhere. It doesn't matter if I spend a little more money."

He asked this to the vixen. After all, since he had the vixen, he no longer had to worry about money.

The vixen shook her head. "There are no private schools in your county! Not to mention your county, there are none in the entire North! How can common people and merchants be qualified to study? Big families do have clan schools, but they only teach the children of big families. Ordinary people have no chance to squeeze into that circle no matter how rich they are."

"Then we can only target Mr. Wuliu? Zhang Xiaohua and I have a life-and-death feud. Even if I want to become his disciple and learn to read, I need to hide my identity. And I don't know what happened to the battlefield of the walking dragon. I remember that Zhang Shicheng's dragon body is still left behind. I wonder if there is a chance to get some dragon meat to taste." Zhang Chen's mind was flashing with thoughts. He was a little concerned about the body of the dragon.

"How far is this place from my hometown village?" Zhang Chen looked at the vixen.

"Huangli Temple is outside the city, about five hundred miles away from your hometown." said the vixen.

Zhang Chen smiled when he heard this. Five hundred miles was indeed very far for him before, but now that he could transform into a vampire bat, a mere five hundred miles would only take him an hour.

"Which direction?" Zhang Chen asked again.

The fox fairy Nannan pointed out the direction, and then said to Zhang Chen: "This Huangli Temple is a bit weird, you'd better find a chance to escape early, otherwise you will be implicated, which will be bad."

Zhang Chen ignored the words of the fox fairy Nannan, because he knew that the fox fairy Nannan was afraid that if something happened to him, she would be implicated. However, he had no intention of leaving Huangli Temple. There was a mysterious power here, and perhaps he would have the opportunity to discover more mysteries. Especially since even the Qi training method of Huangting Sutra had been discovered, Zhang Chen had to find a way to dig out the tomb of Huangting Sutra to see if there was anything new.

He casually turned the fox fairy Nannan into a rune and put it into the dragon energy. At this time, he had a plan in mind. He carried a broom and came all the way to the temple. After cleaning the temple, he saw that it was still noon and there was still early time. The next moment, he went straight to a dense forest in the Taoist temple, opened his Dharma Eye to investigate, and did not detect the aura of Elder Wu, nor the scent of incense from the gods. Then he turned into thirty-six vampire bats and dispersed, passing through the woods in the Taoist temple. After more than thirty breaths, he had bypassed the big trees, mountains and rivers, flew out of the Taoist temple, and then dispersed among the mountains.

He did not dare to fly high in the sky, as it would attract too much attention and there were also natural enemies of bats such as sparrowhawks, so he wanted to keep a low profile.

Soaring between mountains and rivers, the flying speed is indeed very fast.

In addition, the high altitude provided a wide field of vision. An hour later, Zhang Chen had already seen the familiar mountain. He transformed into a human form and descended, landing in front of the cave.

The bumblebees are still there, and the hives have grown to a certain size.

The falcon was so hungry that it was skin and bones, like a skeleton.

The bumblebees sensed Zhang Chen's presence and immediately swarmed over, surrounding Zhang Chen in an atmosphere of closeness.

Zhang Chen looked at the hornets that surrounded him with a helpless look in his eyes: "Is there probably tens of thousands of these hornets? It's not easy for them to still be strong and alive at such an old age."

Fortunately, there is water flowing in the cave, so there is no need to worry about it dying of thirst.
