The Monk

Chapter 62 Song State

The wind is clear and the clouds are high. It is another day of parting.

The grassland is full of green grass. Lin Sen and Zhang Pa stood in the green. Zhang Pa bowed and said goodbye. Lin Sen whispered: "Don't worry about revenge." Zhang Pa joked: "Uncle Lin, don't worry. Saving your life is more important than anything else." Lin Sen said angrily: "Practice the ground walking technique well. I don't want to be scared by you all the time." He paused and said: "Come back more often and drink with me." Zhang Pa suddenly shouted: "Yes!" Then he ran away quickly, leaving Lin Sen smiling and watching him go away.

Choosing to practice in the world and planning to avenge Lin Sen, Zhang Pa changed his Taoist robe and wore a newly refined white long gown made of snake skin, white snake skin boots, and a green long gown outside. He wore the magic weapon as clothes. It took Lin Sen a lot of effort to refine the white shirt. After refining it, it looked like an ordinary object, with restrained spiritual energy. If you don't probe into the spiritual consciousness, you can't find the mystery at all. The cuffs of the green shirt and the white shirt can hold things. More than a hundred small snakes are dormant in the cuff of the white shirt on the left hand. Many other magic weapons are placed on the side of the hand for easy use according to the principle of life-saving. For example, the left wrist is wrapped with a snake whip, and the right cuff of the green shirt is placed with the black bone knife, the tooth sword, and the re-refined five-sided flying cymbals.

Many newly refined snake whips are placed in the storage bag. There are too many magic weapons, so he doesn't know how to use them. Instead, he holds two sharp blades in his hands and fiddles with them. The two knives are so beautiful, with soft curves and sharp blades without edges. They are as light as a piece of white mist flowing in the air. It is said to be colorless, but it is milky white; it is said to be white, but it seems colorless. It is beautiful and looks more like a toy. Zhang was afraid of holding it in for more than ten days and named it Wuying.

Today's Wuying Knife, one and a few life-saving talismans are wrapped in the wrist guard of the right hand, and the other is flying between fingers for familiar use. Wuying Knife is really a good thing. People can only see its beauty but cannot perceive its danger.

Three big dogs were running wild on the grassland. Zhang Pa calculated the direction of the road, but he couldn't find it. Uncle Lin said that going west would lead to Lu State, but the grassland was the same everywhere. Which side was west? The most annoying thing was that it was cloudy today. Sun, where are you? Direction, don't leave me. Zhang Pa looked up at the sky helplessly, praying that it would be cloudy if it was cloudy, but it would be fine if it didn't thunder or rain.

But it would be better if he didn't pray. As soon as he prayed, thunder, lightning, and rain began to fall in the sky. Fortunately, he had practiced the Divine Song in the Nitian Cave for more than 30 years. He was not as scared as before when he heard the thunder. Zhang Pa was ecstatic. He howled and screamed in the rain, ran and jumped around, and shouted: "I'm not scared anymore." As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderbolt exploded above his head, which frightened him. It turned out that he was still a little scared.

There are many countries on the mainland. It is said that the mainland is surrounded by the sea. It is said that the mainland is extremely large. It is said that there is a larger continent overseas, but no one has seen it. What everyone knows is that the continent is really big, so big that no country has ever ruled alone, and there has never been such an idea. In a lifetime, ordinary people may not be able to cross the continent, let alone rule it?

Yue and Lu are located in the northeast of the continent. The two countries are not adjacent, and there are Song and Chu in between. The closest to the boundless grassland is Yue, followed by Song. Going west from the boundless grassland, past Yue is Song, and across Song is Lu, where Zhang Pa wants to go.

With Fei Zhi's help, he crossed Yue and arrived at Song in one day. The capital of Song is called Songcheng. Zhang Pa landed ten miles outside Songcheng. He put away Fei Zhi's big dog and walked towards Songcheng alone.

Songcheng is relatively prosperous. Zhang Pa has never seen such a large city with so many people before, and he is a little curious. Zhang Pa was amazed by the guards standing at the city gate, the carriages rumbling on the road, and the shops and restaurants lined up on both sides of the street. Seeing the pedestrians rushing around, he suddenly felt that this was their life, not his.

He found a restaurant and as soon as he entered the door, a waiter greeted him, "Sir, you are here, please go upstairs." Zhang Pa was confused. Did he know me? With the waiter's warm greeting, he went upstairs and sat down. Zhang Pa didn't know how to order, so he asked the waiter to recommend a few dishes and a pot of warm wine, and then he looked for a window to get drunk.

Although the food and wine could not compare with Lin Sen's spiritual wine and delicacies, they were not bad. Zhang Pa ate while looking at the scenery outside the window. The street was full of ordinary people, without spiritual power fluctuations. It was fun to watch them walking, talking and arguing. Zhang Pa had extraordinary senses and spiritual awareness. He could see and hear the expressions on people's faces and the words in their mouths. In particular, many young women, with fair and beautiful faces and exquisite and beautiful figures, swayed and passed by, which attracted Zhang Pa's attention. He couldn't help but sigh: The gift of the Creator is such a beautiful person.

He looked east and west, and three people were walking in the street from afar. He sensed their spiritual power fluctuations from a distance and thought to himself: "Immortal cultivators?" Zhang Pa restrained his internal energy and spiritual power, trying his best to pretend to be an ordinary person. The three people on the street actually came to the restaurant. After going up to the second floor, he looked around and sat down on the other side. Zhang Pa took a sneak peek and saw two men in linen shirts and a scholar in green clothes, both about forty years old and ordinary looking.

After the three ordered some wine and food, they ate and talked. I think they had observed the surroundings beforehand and didn't find any immortal cultivators, so they were not very careful when talking. Zhang Pa turned his head to the window and listened as hard as he could. He didn't dare to let his spiritual sense out, so he could only rely on his extraordinary hearing to listen to the excitement.

Strangely, the accent of one of the men in linen clothes seemed familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before? I thought about it again and again, but I couldn't remember it. Judging from his face, I definitely hadn't seen him before. Could I have remembered it wrongly? At this time, the scholar said, "Did He Tietou die in vain?"

As soon as the three words "He Tietou" hit his ears, Zhang Ping immediately remembered that at the Yueshangji auction last year, someone auctioned He Tietou's natal magic weapon, the Xuantie Plate. The Xuantie Plate failed to be auctioned. Someone asked about He Tietou's whereabouts. It was the person who spoke just now. A man in a linen shirt. At that time, I heard that they were wanderers and seemed very difficult to deal with.

Zhang was afraid of settling down in the Song Dynasty early because he wanted to learn some local customs and socialize with ordinary people, and did not want to offend cultivators. Therefore, after knowing the identities of the three people, he tried hard to calm down and drink like an ordinary person.

The three of them were all at the beginning of the Dan Formation Stage. Because Zhang was afraid of the powerful Yuan Shen who deliberately concealed his presence, they were unable to detect his presence and continued to drink and talk. Another man in a linen shirt said: "He Tietou's death cannot be in vain. His Xuantie Plate was found in Jinshui Lake in the Yue Kingdom. Could it be that he was killed by his fellow Yue people?"

The scribe shook his head and said: "It's unlikely. There is no sect of cultivating immortals near Jinshui Lake, and there are no masters. He Tietou is at the level of alchemy cultivation. How can he be killed so easily? Jinshui Lake also holds Qi refining conferences every few years. So, Who would choose to kill people in a public place? Besides, the good and evil factions of the Yue Kingdom have been fighting each other non-stop. Last year, the Wushuang Sect of the Righteous Path was destroyed, and their hatred towards each other is overwhelming. How can they provoke us wanderers again? "

A tourist who had been to the auction answered: "I have visited Jinshui Lake. It is vast and uninhabited for hundreds of miles. There are no clues. There are some pavilions where the Qi Refining Conference was held, but they are also uninhabited. ,well."

The scribe also sighed: "Oh, I have to let it go first. Boss Wen asked me to send you a message. Contact people northbound immediately. I heard that the devil is very good at hiding and can't be caught at all."

Another man in a linen shirt responded: "We will split up in a while, but unfortunately we don't have any good players. We are the only ones who have reached the level of cultivation in the pill formation stage. Alas, I heard that a genius came out of Tianlei Mountain in the Yue Kingdom. He was promoted to the pill formation stage at the age of seventeen. It would be great if such talents could be put to use by us wanderers.”

"What? Formed the elixir at the age of seventeen?" the scribe asked in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

The man shook his head slightly and said: "Who knows if it is true or not? It is just a rumor. I formed a pill at the age of seventeen. I can't believe it. But Tianleishan didn't say anything to refute the rumor. I guess it is true."

The scribe was stunned and whispered: "Seventeen years old, seventeen years old. I was considered a gifted person back then. I worked hard for more than sixty years before I achieved anything. Alas, I formed a pill at the age of seventeen. If I gave him another twenty "Nian, are you afraid of having a baby?"

Zhang Ain tried hard to keep his mind calm, but he didn't expect that the three travelers talked about him, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud. Being praised by others always makes people happy.

The three tourists chatted for a while, then parted ways and left. After they left, Zhang was afraid of losing his temper and said to himself: "I heard what they wanted and wanted to go to the north to quell the demons. Well, the north is dangerous, so I definitely can't go."
