Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Five: The Boss Is An Empty Shelf
Returning from Yanchuan.
It's been half a year.
Zhang Heng lives in a simple way and cultivates alchemy.
There is no need to worry too much about Zhang Yitong anymore.
Because Shi Lao is a good bodyguard and mentor, Zhang Heng captured a Fusion Stage monk with a Mysterious Yin Body as his target.
The old man was originally a true immortal monk.
After seizing the body, he used the corpse refining method to smelt himself.
It can probably bring out the strength of the early stage of the Fusion Realm. Although it is not strong enough, it is enough for the present.
Time flies...
Zhang Heng began to live in isolation.
Many people said.
Jianghu is a place where people are easily forgotten.
In fact, the same is true in the spiritual world.
A flash.
Three years have passed.
This is the seventh year since Zhang Heng joined the Yaochi Immortal Sect.
Peacefulness.
There were constant minor frictions between the two holy places, but they were always within a controllable range and did not trigger a full-scale war.
This kind of peace gives the new generation enough time to develop.
Today's inner door.
There is a saying that there are three geniuses.
The first day of glory is Lingzhi.
The Nascent Soul's fifth-level cultivation is invincible in defeating all inner sects.
The next day, Choi Min.
The fourth level of Nascent Soul, once defeated the Maitreya monk from the eighth level of Nascent Soul in a battle mission.
The third genius Zhang Yitong.
Under the guidance of Mr. Shi, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds.
Compared with Cui Min, apart from the slightly inferior magical weapons, his magical powers and secret techniques are not inferior at all, and he now has the cultivation level of the fourth level of Nascent Soul.
As for Zhang Heng.
As early as three years ago, he had achieved the cultivation level of a half-step god and the combat power of the Hedao realm.
nowadays.
Combining the three heavens together with the way of time, one can fight against true immortals.
But there's no rush yet.
The stupid bird flies first.
It doesn't matter if a smart bird like him can fly for a while.
He is not like others.
Some powerful beings who have reincarnated or taken possession of their bodies will show off and cheat as soon as they wake up.
He was very curious, why did these protagonists of the rebirth stream, whose cultivation was unparalleled during their lifetimes, go out into the world so early and hide themselves in hiding? Wouldn't it be better to practice like him until he is invincible and then come out?
Talk about blessings and opportunities.
Blessings and opportunities are like things for an eighteen-year-old girl, they happen every year.
Now is the time to start a career, and I have been thinking about those girls all day long... No, it's just chance, there must be something wrong with my head.
Rebirth is the greatest opportunity, and the Shilipo Sword God is the king.
Zhang Heng knows this well.
In a blink of an eye, it was another three years of silent cultivation.
Strengthen the body and drive, strengthen the magic power.
Huangtian paid off his hard work and joined the Yaochi Immortal Sect in his tenth year.
Feixian body is formed.
"One percent of the flying immortal body!"
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "I have nothing to worry about."
Just like what was said back then, he has a body-level monk protecting him.
What happened next? Whatever you want comes to you. If you don’t give it to me, just create it yourself.
I got the corpse old man to act as the guardian of the combined realm.
then.
Zhang Heng made his own estimate.
One day to practice Qi, three months to build the foundation.
One year of golden elixir, three years of Nascent Soul.
It takes five years to become a god and seven years to merge into a body.
After ten years of tribulation, he ascended and once again proved his status as a true immortal.
Now that the ten-year period has arrived, the Feixian body has been completed.
Who can say that he is bragging instead of seeking truth from facts.
"And this alchemy..."
Inside the cave.
Zhang Heng fell down and sat down.
Compared with the step-by-step progress in cultivation, he was more pleased with the growth of alchemy.
It took ten years of hard work.
I finally mastered the Dragon and Tiger Pill.
Dragon Tiger Pill is the secret of Tianshi Mansion that is not passed down.
According to legend, it was created by Zhang Tianshi, which can take away the creation of heaven and earth and is sealed in the elixir.
Close your own understanding.
It is the Dragon and Tiger Dao Xing Dan.
After eating it, the person who takes the elixir can understand the nature of the world and help people quickly improve their realm.
Sealing the vitality of the weather.
It is the Dragon and Tiger Shengxian Dan, which is the most relied upon to increase mana.
The heyday of Longhu Mountain.
According to legend, even if the descendant of the Tianshi Mansion is an ordinary person, Longhu Mountain can transform him into a true immortal on land in three months.
These two elixirs are indispensable, and they are also the reason why Tianshi Mansion has been firmly ranked among the best in the world for two thousand years.
Times have changed.
The so-called secrets that are not passed down cannot stop the invasion of the Age of Dharma Ending.
In order to relocate the Huang Tu Realm, Longhu Mountain and Gezao Mountain revealed many undisclosed secrets.
As the developer of Huang Tujie, Zhang Heng is responsible for the inheritance of the Three Mountains. He knows how to refine the Dragon and Tiger Pill.
It’s just that I wasn’t good at elixirs before and didn’t refine them.
Now I came to the world of disaster and came into contact with the external alchemy of the Yaochi lineage.
By learning from each other's strong points, he finally mastered the Dragon and Tiger Pill.
There is this elixir.
The path to earthly immortality is not far away.
"The greatest benefit of practicing in dreams is that you can keep trying and making mistakes."
"This catastrophic world is enough to support me to become an Earth Immortal. When I wake up from the dream, I can return to my true body with the Earth Immortal Realm. With the help of the Dragon and Tiger Pills, I can capture the Earth Immortal Realm at my fingertips."
"Even if you don't count the Yaochi Immortal Sutra that I haven't yet come into contact with, this trip alone will be a huge profit."
Zhang Heng was happy.
The reason why he was able to cultivate back to the realm of a True Immortal so quickly was because he was a veteran True Immortal. He could make perfect mistakes, so it would be quick to go back to the old path.
The same is true for the Earthly Fairyland.
If you become an immortal in the dream world, you will be able to return to reality very quickly.
Plus the alchemy technique of entering the palace.
He can completely use his real cultivation to drive growth in the dream.
Then use the development in the dream to make up for the real body, thus forming a virtuous circle.
"What are you so happy about?"
Just thinking about it.
Zhang Yitong came from outside.
Zhang Heng looked up.
She didn't come by herself, there was a little follower behind her.
Zhang Heng also knew that person. It was Nangong Xiu who was taken into the outer gate by the two of them when they were welcoming new students.
Several years have passed.
Nangong Xiu was also promoted to the inner sect and became Zhang Yitong's little follower.
"Didn't you go out with Cui Min to explore the secret realm together?"
"Why are you back so soon?"
See Zhang Yitong coming back.
Zhang Heng was a little surprised.
You Tianjiao, how can you just stay at home?
Exploration, treasure hunting, collisions between magic weapons, and competition among peers are what they want.
You don't see anyone at all on weekdays.
"Something happened."
"We encountered an ambush by the Maitreya monks on the road. Cui Min's protector died in the battle. If the intelligence was not wrong and the other party didn't know that Cui Min called me, I'm afraid..."
Zhang Yitong didn't say anything else.
In order to ambush them, the other party sent three Hedao realm monks.
Cui Min's guardians held back two, and the old man held back one.
This gave them a chance to escape. If it had been Cui Min himself, he would have died.
"ambush?"
Zhang Heng was silent for a while.
Maitreya Holy Land and Yaochi Immortal Sect are hostile forces, and the two sides fight fiercely.
In the past few years, with the rise of the three men, assassinations and poisonings have happened frequently.
It's just like this time, it's the first time that three fused monks are dispatched at once to execute the beheading tactic on the opponent's prodigy.
It is not difficult to see from this matter.
The Maitreya Holy Land can no longer tolerate the growth of three people. After all, these are three true immortal seeds.
"Sure enough, reality is not fiction."
"Even against a few Nascent Soul disciples, once the threat is determined, they will not hesitate to resort to thunderous means. They will be the king of attack as soon as they take action. If there are no guardians, they will never be able to stop them on their own."
Zhang Heng also lamented the ruthlessness of Maitreya Holy Land.
It's just a few little guys in the Nascent Soul Realm. If we follow the routine in the novel, a few monks who have reached the Nascent Soul Realm should have died first.
First, the Nascent Soul is perfected, then it becomes a god, and then it becomes a combined monk.
Level up and fight monsters along the way, creating room for growth for a few people.
Unlike now, no matter who you are, you can just shoot the mosquitoes with cannons and reject all the bells and whistles.
"Compared to an ambush."
"The deeper meaning behind the ambush is even scarier."
"I found that the other party's information was very accurate, and the time and location were accurately controlled."
"Last time, there were close associates around Yun Lingzhi who were bribed by people from Maitreya Domain and were preparing to poison him."
"This time, Cui Min's side is probably no exception. Either someone has been bribed, or there are nails buried in Maitreya Holy Land around him, otherwise he wouldn't know Cui Min's whereabouts so well."
Speaking of which.
The eldest lady is still a little unconvinced: "The battle between monks should be resolved with magic weapons and cultivation. This method is too dirty."
dirty?
maybe.
In this world where there is you and not me, who can say whose methods are worse.
Maitreya Holy Land is assassinating the genius of Yaochi Immortal Sect.
The Yaochi Immortal Sect is not idle either, and is also using the same method to deal with them.
What's more, they even used a honey trap.
Hundreds of years ago, one of the elders of Maitreya Holy Land defected, resulting in the loss of one of the deputy holy masters of Maitreya Holy Land.
Speaking of which, everyone is only half as good as the other, no one is better than the other.
certainly.
This is true.
But in terms of actions, Yaochi Immortal Sect will never accept the behavior of Maitreya Holy Land driving nails into their own homes again and again.
The subsequent development was similar to Zhang Heng's guess.
It's only been three days.
Inside the Immortal Sect, a general cleaning began.
But the question is, who is the traitor?
This is a good question.
Even better is whether the person presiding over the purge will use his power for personal gain.
"My name is Guan Shu, and I come from Zhangxingyuan."
"This is an investigation of the inner disciples, so you don't need to be nervous."
Inside Zhang Heng's cave.
Three unexpected guests arrived.
I heard that the person's surname was Guan, and he came from the Criminal Court, a core department directly under the clan leader's lineage.
Zhang Heng then knew that this great purge was presided over by the clan leader.
It’s not surprising when you think about it.
Today, four of the five forces in the Immortal Sect are united by interest groups, and all of them are oligarchs in various industries.
The remaining one evolved from the official one.
The official character has two pronouns.
Whether it was at the beginning of the disaster or now.
It has been taking the initiative for two thousand years, so it is not surprising that they are in charge.
"Your name is Zhang Heng?"
"Yes."
"Are you good at making alchemy?"
"Very correct."
"Are you a disciple of Elder Cui Zhu and have a close relationship with the Cui family?"
"No..."
Zhang Heng shook his head: "To be honest, the relationship between the Cui family and I is very complicated and not close. We have always had clear boundaries."
Hear this.
Guan Shuxiao has a profound meaning.
However, he did not ask any more questions, but asked: "What do you think of the Holy Land of Maitreya?"
Zhang Heng thought for a while and replied: "I am a Taoist. Stones from other mountains can attack jade. I also have a three-level understanding of Buddhism. I don't ask for a deep explanation."
"Maitreya Holy Land..."
Zhang Heng paused and said: "In the past, when Sakyamuni was giving lectures, the demon king Bo Xun came down to the realm and debated with Sakyamuni."
"Threatening that in the Age of Ending Dharma, demons will sneak into the monks' houses, wear cassocks, destroy the Buddha's teachings, misinterpret the scriptures, subvert the precepts, and create a dilemma between demons and Buddhas."
"Nowadays, Maitreya Holy Land is nominally a Buddhist holy land, under the banner of the future Buddha."
"But in fact, opening one's mouth to kill one's karma does not mean killing one's person; closing one's mouth allows wine and meat to pass through the intestines."
"As long as you shave your head and recite Amitabha, you will be regarded as a Buddhist, and the rest will be ignored."
"From my point of view, this is not a Buddhist holy place, but a group of demons dressed in monk robes."
"If people in the world learn this, they will surely enter the devil's path."
"I am a Taoist. I don't pay homage to the Buddha, but I do respect it. I am three points of courtesy to the monks who have the Tao."
"The Holy Land of Maitreya is different. It uses killing to protect lives as its slogan, and calls for killing all those who do not believe in Buddhism, and then the world will be prosperous. This is a great statement."
"So in my opinion, a Buddhist holy place that can say such things should not exist in this world."
Well...
After listening to Zhang Heng’s words.
Guan Shu was stunned for a while, and then nodded and said: "You have a thorough understanding of the Holy Land of Maitreya. The fact that you have such an understanding means that you must not be a traitor to the Holy Land of Maitreya."
Naturally, Zhang Heng cannot be a traitor.
The foundation of the sect of Maitreya Holy Land, as well as the current core teachings, revolve around the idea of killing one's deeds rather than killing one's people, and that wine and meat pass through one's intestines.
To deny it is to deny the existence significance of Maitreya Holy Land.
This is a sin that cannot be redeemed by death. In the eyes of Buddhist cultivators at Maitreya Holy Land, they are considered enemies of Buddha, which is more serious than killing their parents."
After all, Maitreya Holy Land is different from Yaochi Immortal Sect.
A monk is a monk who practices Buddhism.
No matter what you are like in the secular world, as long as you join the Holy Land of Maitreya, you will only be a monk of the Holy Land of Maitreya and have nothing to do with the secular world.
There are no parents, relatives or friends there.
There is only the Buddha, the Dharma, and the monks and believers who support the Dharma.
Unlike Yaochi, becoming an inner disciple also gives you family leave and encourages you to develop your family.
"It seems like I said a few more words!"
After closing and leaving.
Recalling the look in his eyes as if he was looking at a madman when he looked at him, Zhang Heng whispered: "Just say as much as you want. I don't have a good impression of Buddhism. It's a pity that there is no sea of fa in this world, otherwise...
.”
Thinking of the world of Liaozhai.
There is a scene of Fahai tearing off his clothes at every turn and shouting about the mighty Tianlong.
If he could come to the world of disaster, Buddhism in this world would be in trouble.
"Buddhas and demons are unpredictable, and all living beings suffer."
"The road to Maitreya Holy Land has gone astray. Perhaps it would not be a pity for the people above to destroy it, right?"
Thinking of the future Buddhist scriptures in Maitreya Holy Land.
Zhang Heng looked at the sky, then at himself, and thought to himself: "It's a pity that I have a special status and am not a native of this world. Otherwise, with my current strength, even if I cannot destroy the Holy Land of Maitreya, I can still destroy the future Buddhist scriptures."
Take it away, the hard part is the aftermath..."
Think about it.
Zhang Heng still resisted the urge.
Although in the upper world, Maitreya Buddha's reputation is not good.
Many immortals say that when Maitreya smiles when he sees people, he laughs and laughs when something happens... and can't handle it.
But no matter what, these are the past, present, and future, the future Buddha among the three Buddhas.
No matter how bad your kid is, it’s not anyone else’s turn to tell you what to do.
The cause and effect of destroying the Holy Land of Maitreya is not easy to bear.
"It's not easy for me to take action directly."
"But the others..."
Zhang Heng thought of Yun Lingzhi again: "If the Yaochi Immortal Sect destroys the Holy Land of Maitreya, and I just follow behind to drink soup, the cause and effect cannot be traced to me, right?"
The cataclysmic world is a playground for immortals and Buddhas.
The great gods from all walks of life have descended on each other to form inheritances, either as immortal sects or holy places, and they are constantly attacking each other.
Over the past two thousand years, countless inheritances have been cut off and destroyed.
However, there has never been an immortal or Buddhist decree descending to the realm. It is obvious that such an attack has long been tacitly approved by the superiors.
In this situation.
What if the natives here in Yaochi destroyed the Holy Land of Maitreya and took away the future Buddhist scriptures.
The future Buddha probably won’t be able to say anything.
When the time comes, he is afraid that there will be no meat to eat if he follows.
Think of this.
Zhang Heng felt it was time to add more fire.
So I took a wooden sign, wrote a few words on it, and hung it at the entrance of the cave.
Submit a letter.
"Xianmen is my home, and its construction depends on everyone."
"From today onwards, we will carry out private customization of elixirs. The best elixirs will be given in large quantities. Don't let yourself lose at the starting line."
The sign was up for three days.
There are butlers for talking and laughing, and there are no outside doors for coming and going.
But waited and waited.
I just don’t see Yun Lingzhi visiting me.
Zhang Heng was a little puzzled.
Later I thought about it, the boss is often empty-handed and looks good on the surface, but he may be something different behind the scenes.
Maybe, just like the Yamaguchi group, the leader of the group is going to take the club members to the supermarket to steal watermelons.
Think of this.
Zhang Heng was thoughtful.
So with a stroke of his pen, he added a few more strokes on the signboard: "It is allowed to use other items to offset the account."
