Volume 1 Chapter 14 Zhang Pa and the Old Man

Chapter 14 Zhang Pa and the Old Man ()

After a while, a cold voice in the air replied: "Since you have the Fu Shen Snake in your hand, any misunderstanding can be explained. If you want the treasure, I will give it to you." The voice was dry and full of depression. Then a breeze blew, and a white-haired old man stood in the grass. Zhang Pa used his spiritual sense to explore, but there was no reaction. He knew that the old man's cultivation was definitely higher than his own. He bowed and said respectfully: "Disciple greets the senior, may I know your name?"

The old man had a blank expression, and his cold eyes swept over Zhang Pa and the four white snakes. Many ideas flashed through his mind. After a long balance, he sighed and said: "Daoyou, why do you have to joke with me? You have four Fu Shen snakes, and it is as easy as taking something out of a bag to kill me. Besides, since I dare to come out to see you, I will put life and death aside. You can take me away or kill me. It's up to you." After speaking, he closed his eyes, looking like he was letting it go.

Zhang Pa was very surprised and asked, "Why do you say that, senior? Why should I kill you? I just want to ask you something I don't understand."

The old man didn't open his eyes and said disdainfully, "You can kill or shave me as you please. Why humiliate me? I have seen too many tricks of you humans, but I didn't expect that a young boy would have such a plan. Alas."

Zhang Pa was completely confused and hurriedly said, "You and I have no grudges or hatred. Why do you think I want to kill you?"

The old man sneered, "Yes, cat and mouse, humans like to play like this." When he said this, he suddenly thought of something and said, "I have something to ask you. Just take me away. I have a lifespan of hundreds of thousands of years. Please let Fu'er go."

Zhang Pa saw that the old man didn't hear anything he said, so he waved his hands anxiously. When the old man saw this, his face darkened, "Yes, people are greedy, how could they let Fu'er's spirit go, that's it, just think it's our fate."

The old man was getting more and more confused, and Zhang Pa simply stopped trying to persuade him. He sat down and watched the old man talking nonsense.

The old man waited for a long time, but the other party did not move. He checked with his spiritual sense and found that the man in the Qi Refining Stage was still there. He could not help but ask, "Why don't you do it?"

Zhang Pa said indifferently, "Sit down and talk. It's so tiring to stand. You asked me to do it, why should I do it?" The old man was stunned, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Could it be that this young man really didn't know anything? So he sat down and asked, "Why did you let Fu'er go?"

"Fu'er is the little boy? Wearing a red bellyband and a sky-high braid?"

The old man said, "Yes, why did you let him go?"

"What else can I do if I don't let him go? Take him on a trip?" Zhang Pa was very helpless.

"Don't you realize that he is special?" The old man stared at Zhang Pa nervously and asked.

"Special? Ah, you mean he is full of spiritual energy? Indeed, Fu'er is the person with the most spiritual energy I have ever seen in my life, so much that it is frightening. My little snake seems to have taken a few bites and absorbed some. Senior, the little snake is still young and not very sensible, please don't be angry."

The old man has been guessing whether Zhang Pa's words are true, but Zhang Pa's expression is normal, not like a fake, so he asked again: "You really don't know what Fu'er is?"

"What is it? Isn't it a human?" Zhang Pa said casually.

The old man decided to take a gamble. If he couldn't give a satisfactory answer, he didn't know what the boy would do, so he told the truth: "Fu'er is indeed not a human, he is a ten thousand year old spiritual ginseng." At the same time, he secretly pinched the magic formula in his hand, cautiously alert.

Zhang Pa was stunned when he heard it: "Ten thousand years old spiritual ginseng? It seems that he is not a human. No wonder he has abundant spiritual energy and has lived for so long."

Zhang Pa's reaction surprised the old man and asked: "Are you really a cultivator?"

"Oh my God, why do you have so many questions? Of course I am." He patted his Taoist robe and continued: "See, I am a disciple of Zi Guang Pavilion of Tianlei Taoist Temple. I have reached the top level of Qi Refining at the age of sixteen." While Zhang Pa boasted about himself, he appropriately concealed the fact that he was a coward.

The old man was stunned when he heard it, thinking of his hard years of cultivation, and murmured: "Sixteen years old? Reached the top level at the age of sixteen, it's great to be a human." After sighing, he asked: "You must have taken some spiritual medicine?"

Zhang Pa shook his head: "How can there be so many spiritual medicines? I don't know how I got them. Anyway, I cultivated to the top level." He grabbed four small snakes and spread them on his palm: "They should have played a big role, but I can't figure it out."

Zhang Pa grabbed the small snakes and talked. The old man instinctively stepped back. Zhang Pa hurriedly said sorry and put the small snakes back to his chest.

The old man smiled bitterly, waved his hand slightly, and asked again: "Don't you want to capture Fu'er and take him back to make pills? After taking it, your cultivation will soar, and maybe you will rise several levels."

"When Xiaoshe first caught him, I had that idea, but he is so cute, I can't kill one to save another, so I let him go."

"What about now? You already know that he is not a human, but a spiritual ginseng, you should want to capture him, right?" The old man asked. Zhang Pa thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "I still don't want to." Looking at the huge pig corpse not far away, he asked, "You brought the monster to kill me, just because of this?"

The old man smiled bitterly, "That's right. I heard Fu'er say that he was caught by four small snakes and then released. I didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that he was controlled by magic, and you let him go just to play a long game. But I carefully checked Fu'er's body and found no restrictions. I also sent out my divine sense to search around, but found nothing. I thought the person Fu'er met was a kind person. Just when I was relieved, you came slowly. After my divine sense explored, I knew that you were just a top-level Qi Refining disciple, so I didn't care too much. But you actually stopped near the cave. I thought you found the cave, so I sent the monster up, but I didn't expect that there was no monster. I thought you actually have four Fushen snakes. "

Zhang Pa heard it clearly, pointed to his chest and asked: "This snake is called Fushen?"

"You don't know?"

Zhang Pa said: "I don't know, please teach me something." Thinking of the old man's words just now, he asked again: "Senior just kept saying that I would take you away, are you not a human?"

The old man glanced at Zhang Pa calmly, his face was calm and it was hard to tell what he was thinking. He replied: "I am also a ten thousand year old spiritual ginseng. I can't remember whether I have lived for 700,000 years or 800,000 years."

"Oh my God, 700,000 years? How did you live?" Zhang Pa was quite surprised.

The old man finally believed that Zhang Pa had no ill will towards him, otherwise he would have captured him long ago. Why waste so many words? He explained: "I can live so long because I know a secret that knows everything. You can probably do the same."

Zhang Pa was interested: "What secret can make me live so long?"

The old man said: "Don't worry, I'll tell you bit by bit. Let's talk about this snake first. The snake's name is Fushen. It is a demon beast with great magical powers and is even called a divine beast. Fushen snake likes quietness and it is extremely difficult to conceive. Once it conceives, it will lay more than a hundred eggs. However, not all the more than a hundred snake eggs can hatch little snakes. It is already very remarkable to hatch two or three."

"After the female Fushen snake becomes pregnant, it will divide a large amount of spiritual energy evenly among the snake eggs, and its own magic power becomes extremely low. After laying eggs, the female snake collects the eggs together for hatching. The eggs of Fushen snake are extremely hard, and any black iron and gold essence is no problem at all, so the young snake must absorb a lot of spiritual energy to break out of the shell, but the spiritual energy evenly distributed to the snake eggs cannot meet the requirements, so the female snake will use the Yuanshen to control the snake egg spiritual energy during hatching, and gather it into a few eggs, accumulating everyone's strength to make them hatch. Fushen snakes are very spiritual, knowing that snake eggs are good materials for refining weapons. They don't want their offspring to be refined into weapons and magic weapons, so the rest of the snake eggs that can't hatch will be swallowed by the female snake within a period of time. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Pa finally understood how Uncle Zhenyi and others caught Fushen snakes, and also understood why he could hatch four little snakes. Pearl tears are condensed by the female snake Yuanshen, containing a lot of spiritual power, and he just built a bridge in the middle.

The old man continued, "The Fushen Snake has great magical powers. Its eyes can shoot ice flames, its mouth can spray venom and flames, its scales are extremely hard, and it can fly without wings. It is indeed a powerful monster in the world. Fortunately, Fushen likes to be quiet and there are not many of them. Otherwise, it is hard to say what will happen to this world. I am really surprised that you have four baby snakes."

Zhang Pa was itchy when he was told this. After all, he was a teenager. He picked up a snake and put it in front of him, muttering, "I didn't expect you to be so capable. Protect me well in the future." He asked the old man again, "No matter how powerful the little snake is, you don't have to come and die. Won't you run away?"

The old man sighed, "This level of monsters are born to be the nemesis of grass spirits and monsters. No matter how high my cultivation is, I can only be killed in front of them. No matter how far I run, they will follow the spiritual energy to catch up. What's more, you have four, so I usually ask Fu'er not to come out, for fear of accidents."
