Volume 1 Chapter 72 Return to Songcheng
Chapter 72 Return to Songcheng
For a few days, he did not refine weapons or practice martial arts. He spent the whole day fooling around in Wuling Blessed Land, playing, drinking, and living a fairy life. But even the best days have to come to an end. Fu'er, a smart kid, asked Zhang Pa: "Aren't you going back to see the princess sister?" Zhang Pa remembered the delicate figure and beautiful face, and suddenly his heart was moved. He replied: "I want to see it." Fu'er pulled his sleeve and whispered: "When? Take me, don't tell grandpa, just the two of us." Zhang Pa scratched his pink and delicate nose and smiled: "No, I'll tell you when I get back." Fu'er ran away with an unhappy face, scolding Zhang Pa for being stingy and a bad guy.
Finally, the day of departure came. No one was sent off. He traveled westward underground for a long time before floating to the ground, and flew to Song State. In order to avoid attracting attention, he landed thousands of miles away from Songcheng, found a village to buy a donkey, concealed his breath, and rode towards Songcheng. The closer he got to Songcheng, the more strange it felt. There were always monks flying in the air along the way. Strange, what were the monks wandering around here for?
It took Zhang Pa ten days to walk a thousand miles, but the donkey was too slow. It was already dark when he entered Songcheng. He found an inn under the name of Zhang Fu and went to a restaurant for dinner. As soon as he sat down, he felt a divine sense sweeping across his body, and then a figure flashed on the street. Zhang Pa guessed that he was looking for someone. He was looking for his own, and Zhang Pa asked the waiter to order food.
After dinner, he went back to his room, thinking about going to the palace to see the princess tomorrow, and then rushing to Lu. But the night was not peaceful, and monks occasionally flew over in the sky. Did something happen?
The next morning, Zhang Pa was walking towards the palace. When he was still two streets away, a carriage ran by his side. The carriage passed him and soon stopped again. The door curtain was lifted, revealing a familiar face. Zhang Pa took a look and recognized it. It was Song Yinglong, the national teacher of the Great Song Dynasty, waving at him. Just when he was about to meet the princess, he thought it would be more convenient to go with the Imperial Master, so he jumped into the carriage without hesitation and then the carriage started moving.
Song Yinglong frowned and stared at him for a long time, questioning: "Why can't I detect your breath? What is your cultivation level?" Zhang Pa answered irrelevantly: "Greetings to the Imperial Master, thank you for letting me take the carriage." Song Yinglong shook his head slightly and said: "If the driver hadn't said that the back looked like you, I wouldn't have been sure." Then he changed the subject and asked: "Didn't you leave? Why did you come back?" Hearing his slightly cold tone, which was very different from his attitude when they met last time, Zhang Pa felt strange. Did something really happen? He replied: "I promised to come back to see the princess." Song Yinglong shook his head again after hearing this, and after a moment of silence, he said carefully: "Go, run for your life, don't come back, I will notify Jin Shang in an hour if I find your trace."
Jin Shang? Who? Run for your life? What's the connection? Zhang Pa was confused: "But, I promised the princess." Song Yinglong sighed: "What's the point of promising a little girl? Life is important. If it weren't for you killing that man for the people of the Song Dynasty, alas, if you don't leave, the people of the Song Dynasty will be in trouble again."
"What is going on?" Zhang Pa was getting more and more confused.
"Don't ask, run for your life, why don't you leave?" Song Yinglong urged.
Really? He had just crawled out of the ground and wanted to run for his life, but even if he ran for his life, he had to run for a clear reason, right? Zhang Pa asked: "Why do you want to run? What happened? And who is Jin Shang?"
Song Yinglong obviously didn't want to explain to him, and asked again: "Are you going or not? If you don't go, you will enter the palace." Zhang Pa hesitated again and again. No one should find him except him. He was willing to spend some time to ask clearly, so he said: "Go in, just in time to see the princess." Song Yinglong looked at him and suddenly smiled coldly: "You want to die, I will fulfill your wish." He ordered the driver to enter the palace.
After entering the palace, the two did not get off the carriage. The carriage continued to run inside. Song Yinglong briefly recounted the story in the carriage.
There is a group of barbarians living in the north of Song State. They have long hair and long hair, so they are contemptuously called long-haired ghosts. There is a valley in the territory of the long-haired ghosts. In the valley lives a family surnamed Jin. According to rumors, this family has extraordinary magical powers and is the reincarnation of the fallen demon. The monks have fought many times. If they provoke the Jin family, they will definitely be killed. After thousands of years of accumulation, the reputation of the Jin family has become extremely terrifying.
The Jin family has killed people for treasures for many years, and various cultivation spells are countless. Among them, there is a strange skill left by the murdered man, the Lustful Heart Technique, which teaches men how to attract women and trick women into bed. The skill is easy to get started and can be used to maintain beauty, but once practiced, you must have sex with women every day to absorb the essence of Yin and increase your skills.
This jade slip was accidentally obtained by a handsome young man in the family. The young man was curious about the affairs of men and women. He took it to learn. Is it fun and can also practice? Of course, he never tires of it. After decades of practicing in bed, his cultivation level increased greatly, and he accidentally became a mid-level master of Jindan. However, he always practiced with the maids at home, and tossed back and forth for decades, which was a bit boring, and he felt like touching his left hand with his right hand, so he left the family to find a new practice partner. It was difficult to find a woman who practiced Taoism, and he couldn't stop practicing, so he had to find an ordinary woman to replace her. Ordinary women were weak and often lost their lives in a few rounds, so the boy looked for another woman. After many rape and murder practices, he knew that the virgin's essence was more helpful for practicing, so he specialized in robbing virgins.
It was at this time that the wandering scholars made enemies with the boy. The boy had a high level of cultivation and his own magic weapon was powerful. He attacked and killed more than a dozen wandering scholars in succession. The wandering scholar Wen Lao Da had to gather people to chase him in the north, but the boy ran south to Songcheng. Wen Lao Da led people to chase him in the south again, but he didn't want the boy to meet Zhang Pa and die in Zhang Pa's hands.
Children of such aristocratic families will be planted with a natal tree when they are born. People live in the tree and people die in the tree. When the Jin family found out that the young man had died, they wanted to take revenge regardless of the reason. In anger, they sent Jin Shang, a top-level monk in the alchemy stage, and two hundred of his disciples to the Song Dynasty to search for the murderer.
The conflict between the Jin family boy and You Shi and the two fights with Zhang Ping are known to everyone. Jin Shang led people to find the murderer, but the tourists disappeared en masse. Since the person was not killed by them, their attention naturally shifted to Zhang Ai.
Speaking of this, Song Yinglong sighed and said: "Last month there were more than a dozen small and large battles. Not only were lone travelers killed, but innocent people suffered as well. Even disciples of my Wuliang Sect and the Jin family died violently; Jin Shang knew that you killed people to save the princess. , it can also be said that the young man of the Jin family died because of the princess, and naturally he could not allow the princess to live. But I am a national counselor and must protect the princess's life, so Wuliang sent out, and the two sides fought several times, and then they shook hands and made peace. We have made a treaty that the Jin family will not kill innocent people of the Song Kingdom and members of the Wuliang Sect. In return, the Wuliang Sect will help the Jin family find your traces. "
After understanding the cause of the matter, Zhang Ain lowered his head and thought for a while, and said softly: "I have caused trouble to you. I will leave as soon as I see the princess. I promise her a thousand pieces of gold. I must do what I promised her."
Song Yinglong shook his head for the third time: "Originally, the Jin family has caused trouble in the Song Dynasty, but three Nascent Soul masters have appeared to look for you, one is Long Danzi, and two Qing sect elders Han Zheng and Han Fan. They are elders, and I You're also an elder, but that's not the same thing at all. It's okay for Han Zheng. The Qing sect is a Song Dynasty sect, and you always have to take face into account when doing things. But Long Danzi doesn't care about this. Hearing that the Jin family is causing trouble for you, he takes the initiative to rob and kill you for some reason. The Jin family and Han Zhenghan had to take action against Long Danzi because of the Song Dynasty. The three of them often fought hard..."
Zhang Awei thought: "They are all trying to find me. How can these old Yuanying men be willing to die if they don't figure out the source of the ten thousand year elixir?" At this time, the carriage stopped, and Zhang Awei opened the door curtain to look. It drove straight into the harem and stopped directly at the entrance of the Princess Palace Garden. Song Yinglong said: "I heard from the princess that you would take four thousand-year-old herbs in exchange for some formation books and materials?"
Zhang Aing was about to get out of the car when he heard the words and looked back: "What?" Song Yinglong said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't say that I can't beat Jin Shang, I probably can't beat you. I'm different from others, otherwise I wouldn't bother to do this. Imperial Master, I just lamented that the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Grass is so precious that you can’t imagine it. You actually managed to get four of them. That’s ten thousand years. It’s estimated that even if you eat them raw, you can become an immortal.” He shook his head and continued: “ You go ahead. If you see the princess, leave quickly. I’ll inform Jin Shang in an hour.”
Zhang Ain thought for a moment and said, "Give me an empty jade bottle." "Why do you need a bottle?" Although Song Yinglong didn't understand, he still took out an empty jade bottle and gave it to him. Zhang Ai drew a barrier casually, flicked his finger, and the spiritual energy in the barrier flashed. He closed the barrier again, handed it back to the jade bottle and said: "The bottle contains an advanced elixir from the mid-level to the higher level of the grain-shaped elixir. Thank you." After telling me so much, I also want to thank you for giving me a moment." After saying that, he walked into the princess's mansion.
