Maoshan Taoist priest in the red building

The entanglements, perplexities, and doubts on Jinghuan's side did not affect Zhang Zhongxing for a moment. He was dumbfounded at the moment, but he just yelled a word, why did he disappear?He was still thinking of attacking with words, or pretending to be mysterious, why suddenly there was no room for him to play?

Blinking his eyeballs, Zhang Zhongxing closed his mouth, feeling ecstasy in his heart, puzzled by the outsider, then looked around, and then walked quickly into the mountains. It would be better if he didn't come to meet him. If there are some collisions, it will be a little safer. As long as his cultivation base reaches the golden core stage, then he will not be afraid of anything.To put it bluntly, in this world, it is a typical law of the jungle!

There are too many differences between the mountains and the cities outside. With Zhang Zhongxing's own skills, there is no danger at all in this mountain, and the natural walking is very smooth. Avoiding crowds and walking in the mountains naturally saves a lot of trouble. Right and wrong, but it also reduces the chance of doing random tasks. The only thing that can be called satisfactory is the game and medicinal materials that are all over the mountain. With Zhang Zhongxing's current ability, identifying medicinal materials, collecting herbs, and hunting are all things. Absolutely good player, I think this time when he comes home, his old man will definitely enjoy a big meal.Counting the time, he has lived in this world for almost eight years, but his appearance has never changed. Because of this, whether it is Lin Ruhai or others, he has already given him a lot of attention. In his eyes, he has already become a different kind. Although he used to talk and act as close as before, he knows that there is actually a slight gap between everyone. It is a kind of strangeness belonging to different circles and worlds. On the contrary, after Jia Jing knew his situation, he could use a kind of fanaticism to describe his performance. He actually walked directly from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, just to see Zhang Zhongxing's youthful face, maybe he wanted to prove it The so-called belief in longevity.

When he really saw with his own eyes that Zhang Zhongxing was still the same today as he was five or six years ago, not even a single strand of hair had changed, he would definitely burst into tears, and the light in his eyes could directly blind the eyes of the people next door .He saw the immortal face mentioned in the book, and saw the signs of immortality, which made him feel that the gods and practices he saw before were absolutely true, and that one day he would be like Zhang Zhongxing, who could delay aging , Keeping youth has become his goal and motivation.Why seek longevity?Because I am afraid of death!Why are you afraid of death?Because getting old is scary!Waiting for death is not reconciled!

These years, Jia Jing really didn't hold Zhang Zhongxing's thigh in vain and call him master. When Jia Jing came to Zhang Zhongxing, even Zhang Zhongxing looked at him and felt that he couldn't praise him. The effect of the pill is not afraid of suffering, not afraid of pain, it's just like this, relying on the pill, the level of this old arm and leg is going up very quickly!Only a few years!Starting from the waste of the original skills, until now, he has reached the peak of the third level of Qi training, which is the fourth level of Qi training.Every time he thinks that he is about to extend his life by ten years, Jia Jing is so excited that he can't calm down, his nose burst into tears, and he almost didn't go to the street to promote Zhang Zhongxing.

Zhang Zhongxing's pills are indeed useful, and his cultivation method is absolutely noble and high-grade. Not to mention Jia Jing's apprentice, even Ma Daopo, because of a new method of breathing and exhaling, is now very good. Less is better.Otherwise, she wouldn't have worked so hard to send news to Zhang Zhongxing, and he had seen the light of hope. With these two people in the capital, Zhang Zhongxing was absolutely well informed.

However, Zhang Zhongxing originally wanted to let Jia Jing and Ma Daopo become helpers, but now he thinks it is useless, not for anything else, because the speed of the two's level rise is too far from his, if the next time Really bring them into a fight, and predictably, these two are absolutely cannon fodder.

Without this hope, Zhang Zhongxing's enthusiasm for the two of them has also faded a lot. Relying on others is worse than relying on oneself!Walking among the mountains, forests, trees and seas, Zhang Zhongxing suddenly felt a sense of loneliness deep in his heart. He didn't know what was going on, was it a demon?Or is it too lonely in this world?In short, somehow he suddenly felt as if he had nowhere to go, infinitely lonely.

I thought about my houses in various places, and I didn't have the idea of ​​going back for a while, and even felt that the place I bought at the beginning was a bit redundant.Sitting on a mountain peak, looking at this large area, a large area of ​​deep forest, thinking about the people he has known and what he has done in this world for eight years, his mind is empty for a while. There was an inexplicable impulse in the Taoist temple, and he wondered if it was time for him to go there for a while.Speaking of which, since I borrowed a place and got an identity, I didn't seem to have stayed there for a long time. I didn't even know that they practiced a practice method that was left behind because of the borrowed identity. What's going on, now I don't have a place to rest for a while, looking at this place, it doesn't seem to be very far away from there, Zhang Zhongxing feels that it is really time for him to go.

After confirming where he was going and giving himself a goal, Zhang Zhongxing's heart calmed down again, but in the blink of an eye he suddenly realized something was wrong again. What happened to him just now?Why are there so many chaotic thoughts in my heart all of a sudden?There are still so many cranky thoughts, and even that kind of loneliness, that kind of emptiness, as if suddenly, I turned out all my eight years of emotions.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongxing was startled. He felt that he was abnormal, and he knew it was abnormal, but he didn't understand why it happened, so he couldn't help opening his own interface directly, and began to check his status in detail.Speaking of which, since the intelligent system can talk to him, he has lost the habit of looking at the interface. Even if he has any tasks, he is used to letting the intelligent system notify him. This time he really didn't know how to ask, so he put it down. After making a simple inquiry and checking it manually, he immediately burst into a cold sweat, because there was such a sentence written on the task bar: Life is like a dream state of mind experience once, and the cultivation base of the realm will increase by 5%.Dare to be in a daze, I actually still have experience points to get!This thing is really awesome!

Maybe Zhang Zhongxing's level is too low, so this mental state experience is not very powerful, or Zhang Zhongxing's mental state is already relatively strong, so this kind of experience is rewarding him, but no matter what, let Zhang Zhongxing know a little bit by accident , that is, he still doesn't have much sense of belonging to this world, which is the most important thing.

Walking in the direction of the Taoist temple all the way, Zhang Zhongxing couldn't help but reflect on his so-called mental state experience, and thought about his actions over the years. It seems that people who buy houses and land everywhere look like they use this as their home. , but in fact, his heart has not been truly stable. In this world, he still has no home in his heart, no harbor for his soul, no concern, no support. Completing the task is his only persistence. Everything seems to be They all turn around just to accomplish this goal, without their own will.

"It's just a copy. It's still a game, that's all."

Zhang Zhongxing said this to himself, but he actually knew that such a thought was actually very bad. Everyone he came into contact with in this world was the same as in real life, with flesh and blood, with emotions and thoughts, not Like the data in those computer games, it is dead, how can he really be a complete copy, and don't care about a non-existent world.

Thinking about the kind of loneliness he felt today, the kind of deep-rooted loneliness and helplessness, he felt that if he wanted to go through all kinds of disasters in this world to achieve the golden core one day, then such a state of mind would definitely become his biggest obstacle. Maybe he should have a home in this world, relatives, and cares. This is like a real world, so that this world will no longer be a vassal in his world.

With thoughts and decisions in his heart, Zhang Zhongxing walked briskly. He didn't need to think carefully, he knew that if he really wanted to have a home to live in, then his best choice was to give Taoism of his identity.There, there is an artificial environment created by him using the magic combination system. There, I am their junior and uncle, and I really exist in their emotional world. There will be my last reliance.

One morning after more than a month, the sky was only slightly bright. Zhang Zhongxing finally arrived at the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain in the dew and mist. It's low, and although it looks like it has been repainted, it still has a sense of vicissitudes. The new ones look like they have been there for several years. Yes, he hired someone to build them, isn't it just five or six Years ago.On the top of the mountain, exposed to the wind and sun, it naturally looks old faster.

Looking at this Taoist temple, Zhang Zhongxing breathed a sigh of relief, and a puff of turbid air from his chest and abdomen dissipated between heaven and earth.The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a warm smile on his face.This is the real home he has prepared for himself, the place of his foundation: the Sanqing Temple.

In the morning light, the wooden door was slowly opened, and a little Taoist priest carrying a pole and two barrels came out from the door. When he looked up, he saw Zhang Zhongxing, with a surprise expression on his face:

"Uncle, it is Uncle who is back."

While talking, the shoulder pole had fallen to the ground, and the little Taoist priest rushed to Zhang Zhongxing's side in a few steps. Zhang Zhongxing frowned. This step seemed to be something in the booklet he left behind. The practice is not bad, looking at the cultivation base of this Taoist priest, he is already at the fifth level of Qi training.Good guy, this is much faster than Jia Jing, they don't have bone-washing pills, it seems that qualifications are just talking!

"Xuqing, you've grown so big, your cultivation is pretty good! It looks like you've worked hard."

Zhang Zhongxing wanted to say something, but the little Taoist didn't want to listen at all. He just kept pulling on his sleeve, pulling him in, and shouting inward as he walked:

"Uncle Master is back, come quickly, everyone! It's really Uncle Master who is back."

Well, it seems that there is no such thing as being quiet and doing nothing. This little Taoist priest is getting excited. He has not finished venting the drama of the long-lost reunion, so don't even think about talking properly.

Zhang Zhongxing didn't have any other tricks, so he simply followed him and was dragged inside. But speaking of it, it's a good feeling to be remembered like this. He really didn't expect that he would be in this famous Taoist temple. Still so popular, so memorable, he is beautiful, sour, and a little sweet, maybe, this is the taste of home.
