Human beings are deceitful, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

Chapter 121 120. Too far away from us

Seeing An Le's leaving back, Ji Zimo was slightly taken aback.

He originally thought that after obtaining the Jade Cauldron fragments, the other party would start to dispose of him.

Unexpectedly, An Le left so simply and neatly, as if... Saving his life was really just a matter of convenience?
Ji Zimo opened his mouth, his eyes complicated.

"Next time we meet, I won't let you ignore me..."

To be honest, he has always considered himself the top talent of the younger generation.

But after seeing the strength of the ghost-faced man, Ji Zimo had to admit that the other party was much better than him.

While he was a little unwilling, he also had a strong desire to win.

Moreover, this was the first time Ji Zimo had received kindness from a stranger since he grew up.

This first time was deeply engraved in his mind, making him unforgettable.

******
Soon.

The monks and casual cultivators of various sects finally resolved all kinds of crises along the way, and finally arrived here, but only saw a huge charred corpse engulfed in flames.

They will inevitably be frustrated.

"Damn it, it's still a step late!"

Someone sighed softly.

"As expected of a ghost-faced man..."

******
same day.

It was nearly noon.

Zhang Lang and Jiang Yulan arrived at the gate of a town early, waiting quietly for An Le's arrival.

After what happened at the dinner party, both of them have completely convinced An Le.

We also discussed a plan to act together.

In the state of not revealing the identity of the ghost-faced man, An Le's strength is not too strong, and he can only rank above the middle in the foundation establishment of participating in the trial.

Two more companions are better than two enemies.

"Brother Lu is really slow, will... encounter some enemies?"

Seeing that An Le had not arrived, Zhang Lang frowned worriedly.

Jiang Yulan looked relaxed: "Don't worry, Lu Daoyou is not an ordinary person, he is so powerful that even a puppet Taoist can't do anything to him, so how can ordinary people dare to trouble him?"

"That's true."

"It's a pity that the old beast escaped."

Zhang Lang sighed, a little upset.

At this time, a plain-looking casual cultivator next to him spoke.

"The Lu Daoyou you speak of, is the jade-faced scholar Lu Bin?"

"Exactly."

The casual cultivator smiled contemptuously and said disdainfully.

"Oh, in my opinion, he's just a man who wants to make a name for himself."

"It's just luck, and you happen to have the means to restrain the puppet."

This person also participated in last night's banquet.

But the attitude towards the jade-faced scholar is completely different.

Afterwards, many people came to their senses and found that the disintegration of the human puppet was very strange, coupled with some jealousy, they spread this statement.

What's more, it was also rumored that Lu Bin and the puppet Taoist were in the same group, and it was a big drama that they directed and acted on their own.

Zhang Lang raised his eyebrows in anger.

"you!"

Just as he was about to refute, another monk passing by came up and asked with narrowed eyes.

"May I ask if it's Zhang Lang, Zhang Daoyou?"

"...You are?"

This man was wearing a valuable robe, with a good temperament and a gentle attitude.

"I'm Pang Yuan, guest Qing from Jiugongyuan. We met once last night."

Nine Palaces?
The complexion of the previous casual repairer changed slightly.

This is also one of the famous top sects nearby, and its overall strength is similar to Yuntianzong.

He dreamed of joining this kind of sect.

But soon, he heard Pang Yuan chuckle.

"I came here this time just to ask about the residence of Fellow Daoist Lu Bin so that I can visit him in the future."

This is an obvious intention to make friends and solicit.

Cultivators like jade-faced scholars who have certain strength but are not comparable to the first echelon are all within the scope of investigation of various sects.

How could casual cultivators not understand?
His expression became quite ugly, his face flushed, and he walked away immediately.

After some conversation.

Pang Yuan narrowed his eyes and said mysteriously.

"Oh, by the way, the puppet Taoist's body has been found, it seems... it was the ghost-masked man who made the move."

"Ghost-faced man!"

Both were startled.

This morning, they heard the wind that the ghost-masked man had seized the second fragment of the Jade Cauldron.

Fight back against the magic cultivator and slay the dragon alone.

Although they were all uncertain rumors, they also made the ghost-faced man's prestige reach another peak.

Jiang Yulan's eyes were full of longing, and she sighed, "That kind of person is too far away from us."

After talking for a few more words, Pang Yuan said goodbye and left.

After a few minutes.

An Le arrived belatedly, and said apologetically.

"Awaited."

After leaving the underground river, he took the time to study the "Heavenly and Earthly Puppet Sutra", and almost missed the agreed time.

"It's okay, we just arrived, just now..."

Zhang Lang just told Anle about Pang Yuan.

when----

Suddenly, a bell rang in the sky.

The ancient and mysterious rhythm spread, and the jade-colored aura surged.

A huge scroll slowly unfolded in the sky.

The scroll is empty, only five golden names are written on the top, and there is a number after each name.

The monks on the ground immediately woke up.

"This is the list of those who have obtained the jade piece!"

They were emotionally excited, and quickly looked at the name at the top of the list.

[First place, Yun Tianzong Yun Wuhen · [-]]

Seeing this number, everyone was shocked.

The trial has only started for half a day.

Most of the monks didn't even see the faces of the Jade Cauldron fragments, but this person has already collected five pieces?
What is this concept?
Many locals in Yuntianyu were not surprised, they took it for granted.

"After all, it's that Yun Wuhen!"

An Le was in a calm mood.

This Yun Wuhen's name, he has heard countless times after entering Yuntianyu.

It is also recognized as the most promising genius to enter Taixu Palace.

[Second place, Hu Chunsheng · [-]]

An Le frowned slightly, this person left a big impression on him.

Unexpectedly, it was hidden so deep.

[Third place, ghost-faced man · [-]]

Seeing this, An Le secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

If this list directly revealed his real name, the ghost-faced man's vest would be completely useless.

He continued to look down.

[Fourth place, Blood Demon One]

[Fifth place, Gu Qiutong·[-]]

These two are all unfamiliar names, and An Le has never even heard of them.

An alarm bell sounded silently in his heart——

Don't underestimate the people of the world!
An Le turned to look beside her.

All the monks who witnessed the leaderboard were shocked, with yearning and awe on their faces.

An Le felt a strong sense of crisis.

It is conceivable that if he reveals his identity as a ghost-faced man here, all these people will attack him.

In order to compete for the chance to enter the Taixu Palace, there must be many people who are willing to bet their lives.

An Le sighed: "Oh...someone always wants to harm me."

"The fewer people who know about this identity, the better."

"Also, you can't put all your eggs in one basket."

******
at the same time.

above the sky.

In mid-air with nothing to rely on, a cave is hovering here.

Inside the cave.

The rich aura gathers together, and there are actually lush trees, singing birds and fragrant flowers.

The walls and the ground are all made of lustrous white jade, just digging out a piece is enough to make a mortal live comfortably for the rest of his life.

The temperature here is constant in all seasons and the air is fresh.

It seems to be isolated from the world, detached from the world.

"Senior Yang, I have to thank you this time."

The young man with his eyes closed, with his legs crossed, sat on a chair in the courtyard and said casually.

On the side, Yang Rongzi was not as majestic as he was when he was facing monk Yuntianyu, but laughed and cursed.

"You brat, you know how to make trouble for me."

"I have to make some kind of list. Isn't this forcing them to fight each other?"

Mo Xin smiled: "How can you blame me?"

"I'm just making it easier for the experimenter to find a suitable target."

Yang Rongzi was well aware of the virtues of this junior, and asked after a cold snort.

"In your opinion, among the five people on this list, who can join my Taixu sect?"

"The trial has just started for half a day, and everything is uncertain."

Mo Xin looked calm, and commented casually.

"Wu Wuhen doesn't need to say much, Yun Tianzong has put all the power of the sect to help him get the jade piece in advance, plus his own talent, I am afraid that he has already set a quota by default."

"However, his talent is indeed the strongest in this trial ground."

Yang Rongzi blushed slightly.

Strictly speaking, this already belongs to the category of favoritism and fraud.

But he had an old relationship with the founder of Yuntianzong, so he turned a blind eye.

However, as far as the relationship between the two sects is concerned, this has long been on the surface.

It would be strange if there was no preferential treatment.

Mo Xin continued to comment as if she hadn't noticed.

"This Hu Chunsheng is a little clever, but it can be regarded as his own ability."

"It's the hands and feet they move secretly, which is quite annoying."

"Next, there is this ghost-masked man..."

Hearing this name, Yang Rongzi shook his head and said with some regret.

"This kid is not weak, but it's a pity that he acted too recklessly. It is estimated that he will disappear from everyone in a few days."

"And his aura, it's a mess!"

Yang Rongzi followed the most traditional path of spiritual cultivation.

All the way steadily and steadily, from practicing Qi to the current Huashen, the foundation is extremely solid.

I really hate that kind of wild practice method of self-exploration.

For the sake of fame, Yang Rongzi also observed An Le secretly, and found that his aura was mixed and chaotic.

Lost interest quickly.

From Yang Rongzi's point of view, this ghost-masked man has exhausted his own potential by going all kinds of crooked ways in order to improve his strength.

Even if he can be in the limelight for a while, his future achievements are very limited.

When Mo Xin heard the words, she didn't refute, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I think this one is very interesting!"

"hiss……"

Hearing the word "interesting", Yang Rongzi's complexion changed slightly, and his spiritual consciousness trembled.

Whenever Mo Xin said that, someone was going to be unlucky.

He remembered that the grass on the grave of the last monk who was evaluated as "interesting" was three feet high.

Mo Xin was very excited and said.

"In that case, Senior Yang might as well make a bet with me?"

"Bet whether this ghost-masked man can enter my emptiness!"

Yang Rongzi thought for a moment.

He was still very confident in his eyesight, so he nodded and said.

"Okay, so what's the bet?"

Mo Xin whispered a few words.

Yang Rongzi was overjoyed immediately: "Is this true?"

"really."

Mo Xin smiled and said: "But if you lose, give me this cave."

After Yang Rongzi hesitated for a second, he quickly responded.

Although this cave is worth a lot, it is only a fraction compared to what Mo Xin promised.

"A word is settled!"

******
An Le naturally didn't know what happened in the sky, even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

at the moment.

He, Zhang Lang and Jiang Yulan came to the outskirts of a forest.

According to Hu Chunsheng's news, as well as the abnormal movement from nearby, it can be basically confirmed that there is a piece of jade tripod hidden in the depths of this forest.

"Flying is not allowed here."

An Le reminded her.

Just now, he saw a lot of monks flying into this territory and falling down suddenly.

A group of three walked carefully into the green and dense forest.

Soon, a contented expression appeared on An Le's face.

The muscles and internal organs of the whole body seem to become more active.

He is too familiar with this kind of place.

Coming here is like coming home.

On the other hand, Zhang Lang and Zhang Lang didn't seem to have much experience in advancing in the forest.

With the strength of the Foundation Establishment period, it's not like he was injured, but he was a little disheartened and his spiritual power was also depleted.

"You Lu Daoyou, do you often practice in the forest?"

During the break, Jiang Yulan couldn't help asking.

"That's it."

An Le responded, but also had some doubts.

"Besides the forest, is there any good place to exercise yourself?"

Zhang Lang blinked blankly: "Brother Lu's city, isn't there any place like a martial arts gym or gymnasium?"

"Appreciate further details."

Jiang Yulan and the two explained for a while.

An Le soon woke up.

There are great differences between the territories of many sects, and many customs will be different, like two very different countries.

The Purple Cloud Sect and the Akabane Sect are on the opposite frontier.

It is desolate and densely forested.

But in Jiang Yulan's hometown, there is a vast grassland with very few forests.

In the city where Zhang Lang lives, there are gymnasiums dedicated to learning from each other and tempering each other.

This conversation broadened Anle's knowledge a little.

In fact.

The forest here is quite different from the one near Chenjia Village.

The air here is more humid and hotter.

The ground was very muddy.

You will also encounter the existence of swamps more frequently.

Somewhat like a tropical rainforest.

Venomous snakes and flying insects are dense.

Moreover, it seems that because of the fragments of the Jade Cauldron, the creatures here have vaguely changed.

Another point is that the scope of spiritual consciousness is greatly reduced here.

Both Zhang Lang and Jiang Yulan felt uncomfortable.

******
We went deeper for another ten minutes.

An Le frowned and said softly.

"Be careful, it smells bloody."

The extremely keen five senses enable him to detect the danger faster than the two of them.

Xiao Xiaohong acted as a guide again, guiding him in the direction.

On a woodland slope, An Le suddenly stopped.

On the slope, several torn corpses were clearly presented in front of his eyes.

The corpses are like twigs, residual leaves, and soil that can be seen everywhere in the forest, being eaten by a group of dark ants.

Each of these ants is half the size of a human being, and their ferocious mouthparts open and close, tearing at flesh and blood.

Their pitch-black armor belly has a mass of jade color.

"help me!"

Among the corpses, a female cultivator survived.

When she saw An Le and the others, she immediately yelled.

This action disturbed the feeding ants, whose tentacles on top of their heads swayed.

Afterwards, all over the mountains and plains swept over!

　Although..., but come on for the college entrance examination!
