The talented lady with holy books lowered her head, looking very entangled and conflicted, and said: "I have a question that I want to ask you."
"what is the problem?"
Zhang Ruochen felt a little surprised. This was the first time he had seen a talented woman in the holy arts being indecisive.
The Holy Book Talent asked: "Are you here to save me, or to find out the secret of the blood beast?"
Zhang Ruochen said frankly: "Have both!"
"Which one is more important?"
The Holy Book Talent wanted to ask this question, but after thinking about it, she felt that it would be too obvious to ask it. So, she swallowed back what she was about to ask.
She is a talented woman with holy books, a representative of Confucianism and Taoism, and a spiritual saint. How could she ask such a childish question?
Zhang Ruochen didn't notice the strange expression on the talented lady of the holy book, and said: "Actually, I still feel quite guilty when I heard about your death. At the same time, I don't really believe that you are really dead, so I thought of taking a look at the Endless Abyss.
look."
"Why do you feel guilty?" asked the talented woman with a holy book.
Zhang Ruochen said: "If not, let me tell you that the person who compiled the "Secret Scroll of the Blood Clan" is the ancestor of the Shangguan family. How could you go there? If you don't go to the Shangguan family, you won't be in danger."
"So that's it."
The eyes of the talented lady with holy books became a little dim and lost some of their brilliance.
It turned out that Zhang Ruochen only came to the first level to save her because of guilt in his heart.
With Zhang Ruochen's character, even if the person in danger is not the Holy Script Girl but another monk, I'm afraid he will come without hesitation.
He is that kind of person.
The position of the talented lady with holy books in his heart did not seem to be as important as she imagined.
Zhang Ruochen looked very serious and asked: "Miss Nalan, did you get the "Secret Scroll of Blood" from the Shangguan family? Why did you come to the Endless Abyss? What happened a month ago?"
The talented lady with a holy book put away her disappointed emotions, shook her head slightly, and said: "I didn't see Holy King Que, but Holy King Que sent someone to send me a note with the words 'Endless Abyss' written on it.
Four words. I can't guess what the old man means, so I plan to go to the endless abyss to explore it myself."
"It's just that not long after I left the Shangguan Family, I was intercepted by several saints from the Undead Vampire Clan. I guess that there should be an Undead Vampire Clan lurking within the Shangguan Family, and this person must have a very high status."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Impossible. With the cultivation of Holy King Que and his understanding of the undead vampires, how could there be undead vampires lurking under his nose without being noticed by him?"
"I don't know what happened, but my whereabouts must have been leaked by members of the Shangguan family. There are only a few people who know that I have been to the Shangguan family. As long as I can return to the ground alive,
It is not difficult to find out that person." said the talented woman with a holy book.
Originally, Zhang Ruochen wanted to solve some of the doubts in his heart through the talented woman with the holy book.
After communicating with her, Zhang Ruochen found that more confusion and confusion emerged in his heart.
Why didn't Saint King Que give the "Secret Scroll of the Blood Clan" to the Holy Book Talent instead of guiding her to the endless abyss?
Does it mean that "The Secret Scroll of Blood" is in the endless abyss, or does it mean something else?
The most important point is that since King Que can send someone to pass a note to the talented woman with a holy book, why doesn't he meet her in person?
Could it be that King Que Sheng is taboo about something and dare not say it in person?
Or maybe the person who passed the note to the talented woman with the holy book was not Holy King Que at all. It is even unknown whether Holy King Que is still alive.
No matter what the truth is, there must be a big secret hidden in the Shangguan family and the endless abyss.
Zhang Ruochen even vaguely felt that the secret was somehow related to the palace coup in the Shengming Central Empire eight hundred years ago.
This area is already quite secretive. Even if King Xianlan escapes, it will not be easy to find this place.
Zhang Ruochen found a natural grotto with a triangular structure between two cliffs, about ten feet deep, where he could stay temporarily.
Zhang Ruochen simply cleaned up the grotto, and took out some commonly used items from the space ring, including clean clothes, water, healing elixirs, etc., and gave them to the Holy Book Talented Girl to recuperate in the grotto and restore her mental strength.
.
Zhang Ruochen didn't go far. He took out the box he found from Mei Lanzhu at the entrance of the cave and studied it again. He still couldn't open it, so he had to give up and put it away again.
Now, his cultivation level has just broken through to the third-level semi-saint. In a short time, he will not be able to reach the fourth-level semi-sage.
If you want to improve your strength, you can only think of ways from other places.
Zhang Ruochen took out the "Secret Book of Time and Space" and began to study the second level of time swordsmanship, scale swordsmanship.
There are only eight moves in scale swordsmanship, which are called "eight changes of scale".
The first level of time sword technique, the instant sword technique, is just nine hundred simple sword moves, which are not coherent with each other. Moreover, each move is only integrated into a time mark, and the power that bursts out is naturally
limited.
The Scale Sword Technique is more powerful than the Instant Sword Technique, it contains more time stamps, the changes are more complicated, and each move is very profound. Every time a move is learned, the power of the sword technique will increase exponentially.
The first move of the Eight Changes on the scale is called "One-Quarter Four Changes".
According to the records in the "Secret Code of Time and Space", after practicing this technique to a great extent, when the sword technique is used, it will affect the flow of time within a hundred feet radius.
If so, if you successfully practice the eighth move "Eight Moments of Life and Death", you can even stop time in a short period of time.
The real mystery of the scale sword technique is not just changing the flow rate of time.
The sophistication of the swordsmanship is comparable to that of the holy arts.
Each sword technique contains twenty-five styles and one hundred and twenty-five variables.
This is not Zhang Ruochen's first time to study the scale sword technique. He has been practicing it for a long time before, but he has never mastered the first move to perfection.
It is not an easy task to integrate five time stamps into one sword technique at the same time.
"I have now been able to integrate four time stamps into the sword technique at the same time. I only have one last step left to succeed."
Zhang Ruochen put away the "Secret Code of Time and Space" again, grabbed Shen Yuan's ancient sword, closed his eyes, and felt the tranquility of the world around him.
"Time and space are not isolated, and there are boundaries in all directions."
Zhang Ruochen captured the time mark, integrated it into his swordsmanship, and thrust out with his sword. Suddenly, there was a circle of subtle fluctuations that spread out.
"Swish."
Keep practicing and never stop.
In a whole day, Zhang Ruochen stabbed at least a thousand swords, but he did not succeed in practicing the first move "Four Directions in a Moment".
The difficulty of the second level of time swordsmanship was far beyond his imagination.
Next, Zhang Ruochen continued to study the "Secret Code of Time and Space", always feeling that he was on the verge of a breakthrough, only a little short of the last step.
"Ouch!"
A blood beast's howl, deafening, came from a deep ravine in the distance.
The surrounding black cliffs are all swaying.
Zhang Ruochen only felt pain in his eardrums, his vision went dark for a while, and the blood in his body was boiling. If he hadn't been physically strong, he would have suffered serious injuries.
First gradient, how could there be such a terrifying blood beast?
He immediately closed the "Secret Code of Time and Space", jumped up, stepped on the stone cliff, as if walking on flat ground, and rushed to a height of more than 100 feet.
"Chi!"
Shen Yuan's ancient sword penetrated the stone wall, only half of the sword body was exposed.
Zhang Ruochen grabbed the hilt of the sword, leaned against the stone wall, and looked in the direction of the beast's roar.
In the distance, a large piece of blood-colored brilliance emitted, pouring out from the bottomless ravine, shining dark red for hundreds of miles around.
The thick blood mist turned into a cloud of gas, rolling in the ravine, and a pair of huge wings could be faintly seen flapping in the blood mist.
Standing at such a long distance, one can still see two wings, which shows how huge the body of the blood beast is.
Not only that, Zhang Ruochen also saw a small black spot on the back of the blood beast.
That black spot seems... to be a person.
Even at such a long distance, the blood beast's roar almost seriously injured Zhang Ruochen. That blood beast must be many times more powerful than the Yunjin beast.
How could there be a person standing on the back of such a powerful blood beast?
Who is that person?
The bloody beast flew out of the ravine, turned into a ball of blood-red flames, shot straight into the sky, and disappeared into the darkness.
The bloody light in the gully also gradually dissipated, and finally disappeared completely.
Zhang Ruochen took a breath of cold air and said, "That location is the entrance to the second gradient. Who is the person standing on the back of the blood beast?"
Zhang Ruochen visually measured the distance and found that the ravine where the blood just poured out was about 1,300 miles away.
"No, the cry of the blood beast just now can be heard at least for thousands of miles, and it is very likely to attract the Xianlan King here."
Zhang Ruochen immediately pulled out the ancient Shen Yuan sword, walked downstream along the cliff, and fell back to the ground.
The Holy Book Talented Girl was also alarmed by the roar of the beast just now and walked out of the grotto.
She had completely washed away the blood and dirt on her body, and put on a pure white silk dress, with a jade belt tied around her waist, outlining her voluptuous waist.
The black hair on the head has also been cleaned, and it hangs softly on both sides of the cheeks, all the way to the waist.
Tenderness, beauty, holiness, elegance, and purity are all words of praise that can be applied to her, and they are not enough to describe her beauty.
Compared with yesterday's embarrassed appearance, he was a completely different person.
Zhang Ruochen stared at her face and was stunned for a moment. After all, it was rare to see a talented woman wearing women's clothing. She was so stunning every time, giving people a very different temperament.
"What happened?" asked the talented lady of the holy book. Zhang Ruochen said: "Just now, a blood-red strange light appeared, spreading for hundreds of miles. That strange light probably came from the third layer of the endless abyss.
The second gradient may also be the blood gas remaining after the blood."
