The Monk

Chapter 73 The State of Lu

Song Yinglong sat dumbly in the car, unable to believe that this was true. The advanced elixir in the elixir-formation stage was given away just as it was said to be given away? Before he could recover, Zhang Weifang appeared in front of him again and said with a very cautious expression: "There is a donkey in the inn. It's mine. You take it away and give it to the farmers who need it." Song Yinglong was completely petrified, his eyes were The boss glared at him and asked, "Why are you so careful about your affairs just because of a donkey?" Zhang Ai nodded and said, "Please." Entering the princess mansion again, Song Yinglong was left with a helpless smile, who is this person? He told the coachman: "Go to the imperial study."

Song Yunyi was sitting in the pavilion, surrounded by a warm stove and brocade fur, with four or five maids and maids staying far away, trying their best to serve him carefully. Suddenly a figure flashed past, and all the palace ladies were knocked down and fell asleep. Song Yunyi was about to call out, but saw the man standing still in front of him, smiling and saying: "I'm here to see you."

There is news about Zhang Ai everywhere these days. I heard that many monks are looking for him to hunt him down, which makes me a little worried. Seeing his sudden appearance at this moment, Song Yunyi was a little hesitant and said nonchalantly: "Is it really you?" Zhang Ai He smiled and said, "Of course it's me."

Song Yunyi felt a little excited looking at that familiar and delicate face. She never thought that as a princess of a country, she would be attracted to a young boy; she never thought that after being rescued by him, she would never forget him; she never thought that she would miss someone so deeply. . Song Yunyi stood up, a little nervous and a little hopeful, and walked towards Zhang Awei. There seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes. He moved lightly with lotus steps and slowly raised his right hand. When he was about to touch Zhang Awei's cheek, he suddenly trembled and stopped, as if he remembered something. He shouted: "Go quickly, go quickly, someone is going to kill you."

Zhang Aifeng's smile remained unchanged: "I know."

"Why don't you leave even if you know? Why don't you come even if you know? Go quickly, go quickly. If it's too late, it'll be too late." Song Yunyi became anxious.

"Leave as soon as I see you. I promised to come and see you."

"You've seen her now and you still don't want to leave? Come on, come on, okay?" Song Yunyi was about to cry. The tears of excitement just now turned into tears of worry and anxiety.

Zhang Ain looked at Song Yunyi and whispered: "Then I'm leaving."

Song Yunyi said kindly: "Let's go quickly..." After a pause, he asked: "In the future, I mean in the future, will you come to see me again?"

Zhang Weifan raised the corner of his mouth, showing Zhang's lovely smile, and nodded: "Yes."

Song Yunyi raised her eyes to look at his smile, and couldn't bear to look away for a long time. She made a decision in her heart and said softly: "I'll wait for you." The voice was soft, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting Zhang Wei's heart. He looked at the man opposite him. With a nervous, anxious, scared but beautiful face, she was also reluctant to let her worry about herself. She raised her hand and brushed Song Yunyi's forehead and whispered: "Have a sweet dream." Song Yunyi fell asleep immediately, Zhang Afraid He carried her to the soft couch, covered her with a quilt, and disappeared in a spin.

Zhang was afraid of using the earth magic to escape, but the earth movement speed was not very fast. It took him nearly an hour to run hundreds of miles away. He threw out some formation flags and set up a magic circle to protect himself. He gathered his breath and sat still. The ground at this time was just as he expected, with monks flying all over the sky. Song Yinglong sent a signal, saying that Zhang was afraid that he would knock down all the princesses and maids. After being discovered by him, he ran away without knowing where he was going.

Jin Shangfang covered Song City with his spiritual consciousness. After several searches, he could not find any trace of Zhang Ai, which made him very unconvinced. I heard that the boy was only at the beginning of the pill formation stage. I am at the top level, but I couldn't catch him? But after searching for four consecutive days, nothing was found. Not only could he not find him, but the three Nascent Soul masters Long Danzi, Han Zheng, and Han Fan could not find Zhang Ai despite their best efforts. No one would have thought that at this moment he would be hiding underground pretending to be a turtle.

Zhang Ai was very patient and meditated in the darkness underground for ten days before withdrawing and slowly sneaking into the distance. Because he dived deep enough, he found some black iron ore, variegated jade and other junk materials along the way, and pocketed them one by one.

Ten days later, the cautious Zhang Zhidao appeared behind a big tree. Look at the sun in the sky to determine the direction, then go west, walk for a few days, and fly to the state of Lu.

There are eight major families in the Lu State, which are the top existences of cultivators in the Lu State. It's not like the cultivators of the Yue Kingdom, where the good and the devil divided the territory and fought constantly; instead, they each occupied a spiritual mountain and stayed away from the world to concentrate on practice, and there were no major disputes between them. Zhang was afraid that he was going to kill Hu Zheng, so he had to find a way to get close to the Hu family. At least he had to know some relevant information, such as whether Hu Zheng was still alive?

Of course Hu Zheng is still alive. He is at the top level of the Dan Formation stage. The current head of the Hu family can be said to be free and easy-going in the Lu country. With the help of the elixir given by Lin Sen back then, he could easily reach the top level of pill formation within a hundred years, and was only one step away from having a baby. If Lin Sen knew that Hu was relying on the elixir he gave him to advance, he would probably faint from anger.

At this moment, Zhang Wen was sitting in a restaurant in Yangzhou City, drinking. There was a young man in gray clothes in his twenties at the same table.

Yangzhou is close to Wushan, and the Tiejia family, one of the eight great aristocratic families, has a circle of three thousand miles from Wushan. They built manors and castles, using this as a base to achieve unparalleled achievements. Yangzhou City is the largest city near Wushan and the largest city in the east of Lu State, adjacent to Song State. Zhang was afraid that he would come here by mistake, so he took safety and low-key as the first principle to save his life. He controlled his aura to the high level of the Qi refining stage, pretended to be a super low-level monk who just came out of the mountain, and brought some black iron stones and jade into Yangzhou. city.

Under the influence of the Tie family, some shops selling magic weapons and elixirs were opened in the city, which were easy to find. Zhang Wen waited for a while at the door of the shop and met a disciple in his twenties who was in the Qi refining stage. He tried to chat for a few words and made a gesture of being happy to meet him. He forced the young man to have dinner with him and used wine as a matchmaker to find out. News from Hu Zheng.

The young man's name is Tiecheng, and he is a descendant of a branch of the Tie family. He has average qualifications and average cultivation. He is unable to practice formations and has not made progress in practice. He carries the spiritual stones accumulated over the years and wants to buy a pill to improve his cultivation, but unfortunately he has found nothing.

Tiecheng is an intermediate level Qi refining practitioner, one level lower than Zhang Awei pretends to be. Zhang Ai, however, had a respectful and humble attitude, which made Tiecheng very happy and satisfied, and he spoke more and more: "Brother Zhang, you are really lucky. You have already reached the top level of cultivation at a young age. You will definitely be able to build the foundation in two years. If you have any tips, don’t forget to give me some advice.”

Zhang Ping said quietly: "What can I say? It's just good luck. I think Brother Tie will definitely have a breakthrough in another year."

"Seriously?" Tie Cheng's voice seemed louder and he was very excited.

Zhang Ying smiled and said: "There is no absolute thing in cultivation. As long as you can stay lonely and study hard without any distractions, can you still succeed? If you work so hard and still can't reach a high level, God is too unfair."

Tie Cheng said calmly: "Yes, I just learned too much. I have to learn formations and mental techniques. I also want to learn flag making. Alas, after listening to your words, I suddenly understood. Brother Zhang, I give you a toast."

When Zhang Ain introduced himself to Tiecheng, he said that he was practicing alone in the mountains, reached a high level in a daze, encountered a bottle path, and took the black iron stone and jade found in the mountain into the city to exchange for elixirs.

Tie Cheng drank more and more, but the spirit energy was not dissipated. He was a straightforward person. He raised his glass and said: "Brother Zhang, those black iron stones and jade stones of yours are not very valuable. After so many years in the mountains, if you can find a thousand-year-old spirit tree, Medicine, tsk tsk, that’s expensive.”

Apart from the news about Hu Zheng, Zhang Ping didn't want to get anything from Tiecheng. Hearing what he said, he smiled and took out the black iron ore and jade, divided them in half, put one away, and pushed the other to Tiecheng. Cheng, said: "In that case, if I give you half of the rags, Brother Tie won't refuse to accept it, right?"

Tie Cheng was shocked and became cautious: "What do you mean? What do you want to do? What are your intentions towards me?"

Zhang Awei waved his hand and said: "Don't be nervous. Brother Tie said these things are not valuable, so he will give you half of them. I'm worried that I won't be able to get them."

"Really?" Tie Cheng was doubtful. No matter how worthless these things were, they could probably be sold for hundreds of spirit stones, and he felt a little hesitant.

"Really, I am practicing alone, I don't even have anyone to talk to, and I don't know much about the cultivation family. Thanks to Brother Tie for introducing me, I know a little bit. Besides, there may be some more of these things if I go back to the mountain to look for them, but I can't take them for granted. ." Zhang Ping pointed at the black iron ore.

Tie Cheng's expression softened and he said apologetically, "I'm so worried, please don't blame me, Brother Zhang."

Zhang Awei chuckled: "What are you talking about? It's Zhang who is reckless. Come on, let's drink."
