Volume 1 Chapter 73: Lu State
Chapter 73 Lu State
Song Yinglong sat in the car in a daze, and he couldn't believe it was true. The advanced pill of the Jindan period was given to someone just like that? Before he could come to his senses, Zhang Pa appeared in front of him again, and entrusted him with a very cautious expression: "There is a donkey in the inn, it's mine, you take it and give it to the farmer who needs it." Song Yinglong was completely petrified, his eyes widened and asked: "You are so cautious, just for a donkey?" Zhang Pa nodded and said: "Please." Entering the princess's mansion again, Song Yinglong was left with a helpless smile. Who is this person? He ordered the driver: "Go to the imperial study."
Song Yunyi sat in the pavilion, with a warm stove and brocade furs beside him. Four or five palace maids were far away, and they were alert and careful to serve. Suddenly a figure flashed by, and the palace maids were all knocked down and fell asleep. Song Yunyi was about to shout, but saw the man standing in front of him, smiling and saying: "I'm here to see you."
These days, there are news about Zhang Pa everywhere. I heard that many monks are looking for him to kill him, so I can't help but worry. Seeing him suddenly appear at this moment, Song Yunyi hesitated and said hesitantly: "Is it really you?" Zhang Pa smiled and said: "Of course it's me."
Song Yunyi looked at the familiar and beautiful face, feeling a little excited. 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 the feeling of missing someone would be so deep. Song Yunyi stood up, walked towards Zhang Pa with some nervousness and hope, tears seemed to glisten in the corners of his eyes, he moved lightly with lotus steps, slowly raised his right hand, and when he was about to touch Zhang Pa's cheek, he suddenly trembled and stopped, as if he remembered something and shouted loudly: "Go, go, someone wants to kill you."
Zhang Pa still smiled: "I know."
"You didn't leave even though you knew? You still came? Go, go, it will be too late if it's too late." Song Yunyi became anxious.
"I'll leave after seeing you, I promised to come to see you."
"Now you've seen me and you're not leaving? Go, go, okay?" Song Yunyi was anxious to cry, and the tears of excitement just now turned into tears of worry and anxiety.
Zhang Pa stared at Song Yunyi and whispered, "Then I'm leaving."
Song Yunyi nodded, "Let's go..." and paused before asking, "In the future, I mean in the future, will you come to see me again?"
Zhang Pa raised his lips, bringing out a lovely smile, and nodded, "Yes."
Song Yunyi looked up at his smile, and was reluctant to look away for a long time. He made a decision in his heart and said softly, "I'll wait for you." The voice was gentle, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting Zhang Pa's heart. Looking at the nervous, anxious, scared but beautiful face opposite, he was reluctant to let her worry about him. He raised his hand and brushed Song Yunyi's forehead, and whispered, "Have a good dream." Song Yunyi fell asleep immediately. Zhang Pa carried her to the soft couch, covered her with a quilt, and disappeared on the spot.
Zhang Pa used the ground walking technique to escape. The ground walking speed was not fast. It took nearly an hour to run hundreds of miles. He threw out some formation flags to set up a formation to protect himself, restrained his breath and sat still. At this time, the ground was just as he expected, with cultivators flying all over the sky. Song Yinglong sent a signal, saying that Zhang Pa had knocked down all the princesses and palace maids, and escaped after being discovered by him, and no one knew where he ran to.
Jin Shang released his spiritual sense to cover Songcheng, but he couldn't find Zhang Pa after several searches, which made him very unconvinced. He heard that the boy was only at the initial stage of the Jindan period, and I was at the top stage, but I couldn't catch him? But after four consecutive days of searching, he really found nothing. Not only could he not find him, but Long Danzi, Han Zheng, and Han Fan, the three Yuanying masters, tried their best but couldn't find Zhang Pa. No one would have thought that he would hide underground and pretend to be a turtle at this moment.
Zhang Pa was very patient. He meditated in the darkness underground for ten days before he withdrew and slowly sneaked away. Because he hid deep enough, he found some black iron ore, colorful jade and other broken materials along the way, and put them into his pocket one by one.
Ten days later, Zhang Pa appeared cautiously behind a big tree. Look at the sun in the sky to determine the direction, then walk westward, walk for a few days, and then release Fei Zhi to fly to Lu.
Lu has eight major families, which are the top existences of Lu's cultivators. Unlike the cultivators of Yue, the righteous and evil paths are divided into two territories and fight constantly; instead, each occupies a sacred mountain, away from the world and concentrates on cultivation, without major disputes. If Zhang Pa wants to kill Hu Zheng, he must find a way to get close to the Hu family, at least to know some relevant information, such as whether Hu Zheng is still alive?
Hu Zheng is of course alive, with the top level of Jindan stage cultivation, the current head of the Hu family, in Lu, he can be said to be free and unrestrained. With the spiritual medicine given by Lin Sen that year, he can easily cultivate to the top level of Jindan within a hundred years, and is only one step away from the infant stage. If Lin Sen knew that Hu Zheng relied on the pills he gave to advance, he would probably faint from anger.
At this moment, Zhang Pa was sitting in a restaurant in Yangzhou City drinking, and there was a gray-clothed young man about 20 years old at the same table.
Yangzhou is close to Wushan Mountain. The Tie Family, one of the eight great families, has built a manor and castle in Wushan Mountain for 3,000 miles, and has made great achievements. Yangzhou City is the largest city near Wushan Mountain, and the largest city in the eastern part of Lu State, adjacent to Song State. Zhang Pa came here by accident. He took safety and low profile as the first principle to save his life. He controlled his spiritual energy to the high level of Qi Refining Stage, pretended to be a low-level cultivator who had just come out of the mountain, and brought some black iron stone and jade into Yangzhou City.
Influenced by the Tie Family, some shops selling magic tools and elixirs were opened in the city, which were easy to search. Zhang Pa waited for a while at the door of the shop and met a Qi Refining Stage disciple in his twenties. He tried to talk to him for a few words, pretending to be very happy to meet him, and forced the young man to have dinner with him. With wine as a medium, he found out about Hu Zheng.
The young man is called Tiecheng, a descendant of the Tie family's side branch. He has average talent and average cultivation. He can't practice formations and practice. He wants to buy a pill to improve his cultivation with the spirit stones he has accumulated for many years, but unfortunately he gets nothing.
Tiecheng is at the middle level of Qi Refining, one level lower than Zhang Pa pretended. Zhang Pa was respectful and modest, so Tiecheng was very happy and satisfied, and he said more: "Brother Zhang, you are really lucky. You have reached the top level at such a young age. You will definitely be able to build a foundation in another two years. If you have any experience or methods, don't forget to give me some pointers and support."
Zhang Pa said in a calm voice: "No, it's just good luck. I think Brother Tie will have a breakthrough in a few years."
"Really?" Tiecheng's voice was a little louder, and he was very excited.
Zhang Pa smiled and said, "There is no absolute in cultivation. As long as you can endure loneliness and concentrate on your work, you can succeed. If you can't reach a high level despite such hard work, God is too unfair."
Tie Cheng said hesitantly, "That's right, I just learned too many things. I have to learn formations and mental methods, and I also want to learn flag making. Alas, listening to your words, I suddenly understand. Brother Zhang, I toast you."
When Zhang Pa introduced himself to Tie Cheng, he said that he was practicing alone in the mountains, and he accidentally reached a high level. He encountered a bottle path, and brought the black iron stone and jade found in the mountains into the city to exchange for elixirs.
Tiecheng drank more and more, but his spirit energy did not dissipate. He was a straightforward person. He raised his glass and said, "Brother Zhang, your black iron ore and jade are not worth much. After so many years in the mountains, if you can find a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, it would be precious."
Except for the news about Hu Zheng, Zhang Pa did not want to get anything from Tiecheng. Hearing him say so, he smiled and took out the black iron ore and jade, divided them into two halves, put away one, and pushed the other to Tiecheng, saying, "In this case, I will give you half of the rags. Brother Tie will not refuse to accept it, right?"
Tiecheng was shocked and became cautious: "What do you mean? What do you want to do? What do you intend to do with me?"
Zhang Pa waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous. Brother Tie said that these things are not worth money, so he gave you half. I was worried that I couldn't show it off."
"Really?" Tiecheng was skeptical. No matter how worthless these things were, they could probably be sold for hundreds of spiritual stones. He was a little hesitant.
"Really, I'm a solitary cultivator, I don't even have anyone to talk to, and I don't know much about the cultivation families. Thank you Brother Tie for introducing me to them. I just learned a little bit. Besides, I might still have these things if I go back to the mountain. They are not worth much." Zhang Pa pointed at the black iron ore.
Tie Cheng's expression eased, and he apologized: "I'm too suspicious, please don't blame me, Brother Zhang."
Zhang Pa laughed: "No, I was reckless. Come, have a drink."
