Chapter 168 The old enemy comes to the door [already updated]
"Ye Yan'er is gone?"
Bing Ning looked at Zhou Zheng with some confusion, and the latter nodded with a smile.
"She went to travel the Three Realms, and Laojun gave her a task. It seems that the reward is to let her live forever and repair the shortcomings of absorbing the Dao Principle fragments."
Zhou Zheng said softly. Seeing Bing Ning's expression of thought, he wondered: "What's wrong, instructor?"
Bing Ning said: "I just want to keep an eye on you for Baihua. I'm not too surprised if she leaves."
"She is quite chic."
Zhou Zheng walked back to the dining table, spread out a few pages of printing paper, and began to think quietly.
Bing Ning brought some flowers and a jade vase.
Teacher Bing, who has fallen into a period of slow growth in cooking, has now begun to focus on two interest classes: flower arrangement and painting. The progress is also extraordinary.
Zhou Zheng took the gel pen and thought for a long time, but he felt a little upset and found it difficult to write.
"What is the second calamity called?" Bing Ning asked.
"The Silent Deep Sky," Zhou Zheng rubbed his nose, "Looking back now, most of the three years in the different world were spent either practicing or fighting fiercely. It seems that there isn't much in depth."
Bing Ning said: "A floating dream, deep silence in the sky... Laojun's trial must have a profound meaning, it should not just be as simple as letting you fight and kill."
"I feel so too."
Zhou Zheng tapped the pen cap on the table a few times and said with a smile:
"The Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu only has nine levels. If the technique is advanced later as a signal to start the catastrophe, then there will be a total of nine catastrophes and we will be sent to other worlds nine times. Each time should have a profound meaning."
Bing Ning pinched the flower and held the scissors, and said slowly: "Then think about it, what did you encounter this time?"
"I probably know what Laojun wants me to know."
Zhou Zheng organized his thoughts.
"Using living creatures to suppress living beings, thereby maintaining the purity of the way of heaven and the stability of the three realms, is indeed an idea for the long-term development of heaven and earth.
"The world where the second calamity is located should have an upper realm and a lower realm. The ruler of the upper realm made many big monsters in the Golden Fairy Realm, suspended in the air above the small closed worlds. Let's call them reapers.
"There are three or four reapers in the big world, and there is one reaper in the small world.
"Whenever someone ascends to immortality, whether human or spiritual, they will be harvested by these reapers, refined into puppets, and become the gatekeepers of that world. In other words, the upper world has formed a super privileged class of living beings.
This class has blocked the advancement paths for all living beings."
Bing Ning frowned and said, "This is really scary."
"Yes," Zhou Zheng said, "I have also thought before that in a Small Thousand World, there may be hundreds of ascendants in ten thousand years. For the Small Thousand World as a whole, this level of casualties is nothing. They are
This setting seems to make some sense, but when I kept thinking about it during the subsequent battles, I felt very angry."
"Why the anger?"
"Because this is tantamount to exterminating all hope for living beings. It is just another level of pig farm. The upper limit of living beings in the lower world is locked, and the most basic right to survival is not guaranteed. Those reapers have the ability to exterminate living beings in a world at any time.
strength.
"Not to mention the right to know and the right to development.
"But in the final analysis, this is still a conflict between the ruling class and the ordinary class. The purpose of Laojun sending me there this time is probably to make me think about a difficult problem.
"That is, after we defeat the consciousness of Heavenly Dao, what kind of order should we establish."
Zhou Zheng's eyes shone with a light that Bing Ning couldn't understand.
He continued: "I have always felt that there are various problems in our old heaven, and the reason why Lao Jun values Blue Star so much is because he should also have the intention to promote the order here."
Bing Ning thought for a moment: "What you said makes sense. Heaven has been around since ancient times, and most of them have focused on spiritual practice. Blue Star lacks aura, but has gradually completed social progress through mortals... Wouldn't it be nice to write this in your thesis?"
"hey-hey."
Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "I chatted with you for a while, instructor, and my mind opened up. Sister Yan'er left suddenly, and I was a little disappointed."
Bing Ning said: "It was so sudden when she came."
"Well," Zhou Zheng said, "No matter what, respect her decision. By the way, instructor, let's compare sword skills later? The kind that doesn't use magic. I have been figuring it out for two and a half years, and I have made many sword moves."
"Write it first. Don't neglect me. You can compete with swords at any time. I have no other place to go except to protect you here."
Bing Ning responded softly.
Zhou Zheng released the fairy egg, guessing that the little thing would come out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
He picked up his pen and wrote a few lines, then suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at the computer room.
Red Boy, doesn’t he know how to be really popular in Samadhi?
When the spirit fairy inside comes out, then go find Red Boy to become a disciple?
Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows and thought this was quite reliable.
"Main silver!"
Suddenly there was a shout from behind.
"I'll go," Zhou Zheng's pen tip trembled and he almost broke the word. He raised his head and glared at Ling Qin'er, and almost scolded the cat directly.
Well, if she hadn't been wearing a backless long sweater and black stockings, she would have been scolded today.
Has this guy started to act like a sexy lolita?
There is a certain area that is really hard to come by.
"Master Yin," Lingqin'er came up with her hands behind her back, "Let's discuss something. When this little thing comes out, let me help you take care of it for a few days. I have recently learned a lot of books on postpartum care."
"What did you learn?"
“Postpartum Care of Sows.”
"Bah! This is a spiritual fairy! A spiritual fairy! The reincarnation of a heavenly bird! There is also Suzaku bloodline!"
"Oh, Master~"
Ling Qin'er came up aggrievedly, holding Zhou Zheng's arm and shaking him.
"I almost have no chance to talk to you now. I don't covet your handsomeness, master. I just want to establish my first-mover advantage in the spiritual pet business and let her get closer to me.
"Otherwise, when I get out, I'll tell you that you have always been in trouble but have given up on it. You like the new and dislike the old. You treat your former partners like worn-out shoes!"
Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes and smiled: "What is the first half of the sentence?"
"Uh, first mover advantage?"
"Go forward."
"Handsome and handsome?"
"Go take care of it," Zhou Zheng waved his hand, "Don't always tell these truths in the future. I also pay attention to temperament and self-cultivation. You should also improve yourself and pursue more elegance and style."
The corner of Lingqin'er's mouth twitched slightly, but she didn't dare to throw away her hand and walk away. She smiled and walked behind, made a few faces at Zhou Zheng, helped Zhou Zheng squeeze his shoulders and hit his back, and then went back to the side with the fairy egg in his arms.
, looked at it curiously.
After being teased like this by Ling Qin'er, Zhou Zheng's mood recovered a lot. He started writing quickly and fought hard until dawn.
Immortals do not distinguish between the sun and the moon and only practice according to themselves.
…
what to do?
The Jiao Demon King now wants to find an old brother to ask him what to do.
At the bottom of a large trench somewhere in the Blue Star Deep Sea, inside the huge body of the dragon demon, the middle-aged Taoist transformed into the dragon demon king was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.
He has already discovered that his current situation is very embarrassing.
The era of his fame was during the Journey to the West: Feng Mo Jie, when he had just emerged.
At that time, he was young and promising and rushed to the Golden Fairyland within five thousand years;
Having many friends means being drunk and confused and befriending six demon kings.
Then there was a sworn brother who later became the protagonist of the Great Tribulation. He named himself the Great Sage of the Sea after the Monkey King. He originally thought that the monster clan would usher in a revival, and that he could also become the king and marry a few people.
A dragon girl, who fulfilled the ultimate ideal of the dragon race and rode on the head of the dragon race, was chased and killed by the heaven after the disaster.
The situation of being a demon is probably ups and downs.
After finally hiding until the heaven was destroyed, I didn't expect that I would be targeted by another force again.
Moreover, according to the Jiao Demon King's speculation, not only himself, but most of the guys in the demon clan who can now be called 'ancestors' should have been secretly surrendered by this force long ago.
For the last freedom, he fought his way out of the siege and hid in this star. Fortunately, he was stable for more than three hundred years. He took a long sleep to heal his wounds, but when he woke up, he found...
He caused even more trouble.
It seems that he broke open the spiritual energy channel and came to this star, which brought the spiritual energy to the star and attracted other demons, resulting in a tragedy that almost wiped out the human race here.
This actually doesn't matter. He is a great sage from the monster clan. Isn't it his professional ethics to bring harm to mankind?
But, why did this star become the center of the whirlpool of the Three Realms?
Why did the reincarnation of Emperor Qinghua appear among those humans, and why did he also become hated as the culprit of the disaster?
This doesn't make any sense, he just made an honest mistake!
Zhu Bajie even called at the door, and said that he should go out early to admit his mistake, and maybe he could keep his body intact.
Now it can only reduce its presence as much as possible. If it emerges, it will probably be struck by the thunder of the heavenly immortals. The Qinghua Emperor should have long wanted to sacrifice his dragon head to heaven.
Originally, I could just run away. How can face be compared with a small life?
However, just before he was about to leave, the group of forces that had been chasing him came over again, and placed a jade talisman next to him for him to choose.
Although what the little girl in the cloak said was harsh, it was still pertinent.
'King Jiao, I allowed you to escape three hundred years ago. For this reason, several of my brothers and sisters were severely punished by the Lord. I have a great grudge against you.
‘But the Lord said that if I give you a chance, I will not kill you today.
'Do you know that you have offended Emperor Qinghua, who has deep feelings for this star, but because you caused the destruction of this star, you are now the target of Emperor Qinghua's must-kill, and only
Count on us.
'Listen to me, you still have a 50% chance of survival. Go and try it yourself. If you perform well, I will let you escape. If you don't listen to me, you may not be able to live without this star.
.'
"snort!"
The more the Jiao Demon King thought about it, the angrier he became.
When did he, the majestic Great Sage, ever suffer such grievances?
The last time I was threatened like this...well, it was also this group of people.
The Jiao Demon King lowered his head and sighed, walked back to his seat, stared at the jade talisman for a long time, and finally grabbed it.
He wants to live.
…
The sound of banging echoed in the warehouse converted into a temporary base for the special operations team.
Everywhere in Qingshan City is still in the stage of reconstruction. Since the Futian Alliance has issued an order to prioritize ensuring people's livelihood and restoring secular order, the special operations team will naturally have to suffer on their own first.
In the corner, shirtless Zhou Zheng wore boxing gloves with his hands. He controlled the force in his hands and punched the special sandbag, causing the sandbag to shake.
Every time a punch falls, a scene from the past will appear in front of Zhou Zheng's eyes.
When punches rained down, scenes from the past years kept flashing by, like a movie that was constantly being shown.
Feng Bugui stood aside with a smile.
Captain Feng has been enjoying himself lately.
It was judged that his next breakthrough would be in the next life, but his cultivation level broke through the previous bottleneck, and he jumped from the Innate Perfection to the level of Divine Ying Realm, an average monk.
Although his strength has not improved much, this Tao realm gives him more development opportunities.
No, after coming to Qingshan City to support him, he completed one hundred and eighty difficult tasks in a row, and was rated as an activist for the reconstruction of Qingshan City. He was promoted from the captain of the special operations team to the deputy director of the organization department of the special operations team, and he was in charge of
Two to three thousand minor monks.
More or less, he can be considered a small boss.
Although Feng Bugui was not sure why his superiors cared so much about him;
But Feng Bugui had a vague feeling that it should be related to Zhou Zheng.
Feng Bugui secretly listened to the people above him saying that Zhou Zheng was now extraordinary, as if he had become the leader of the immortals and a reincarnated immortal.
but……
"Why, long time no see, you just come here to vent your stress?"
Feng Bugui laughed and joked.
Zhou Zheng punched out, but failed to control the surging immortal power. The sandbag in front of him exploded, and grains of sand flew out, blasting away the corners of the wall.
"Well," Zhou Zheng shrugged, "I'm just practicing my power control skills."
Feng Bugui's facial muscles twitched slightly, he turned his head and roared twice. More than a dozen members of the special operations team transformed into masons and hurried over to mend the hole.
Zhou Zheng jumped down with some embarrassment, untied his gloves, and took a floral shirt to put on himself.
"Let's go, find a place to have a drink?" Zhou Zheng suggested with a smile.
"Have a drink, my identity is different now," Feng Bugui joked, "I have to deal with emergencies at any time, and I can't let myself get drunk."
"If you are afraid, just say you are afraid. After all, I will never get drunk after a thousand cups."
"Just you! Hey! I still don't believe it today!"
"Drink less, drink less."
Half an hour later, there was a small restaurant not far from Feng Bugui's base.
Different cities, different restaurants, different proprietresses, the same grateful and affectionate eyes, and the same hard dishes that did not belong to their menus appeared on the table.
Zhou Zheng looked at Feng Bugui in shock, and exclaimed: "Good guy, Captain Feng, are you using the skills of middle-aged and elderly female idols? Do you have this kind of care wherever you go?"
"Hehehe," Feng Bugui narrowed his eyes with a smile, "It's just the benefit of being helpful. Come on, you can do it, I'll do whatever you want."
The two clinked glasses and drank simple beer.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zhou Zheng took out a shield and a sword and placed them in Feng Bugui's hands.
"I have something better," Zhou Zheng said, "These are two fairy treasures that can save your life at critical moments. Captain Feng, just take them and use them. This can be regarded as repaying your kindness for helping me in the first place."
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Captain Feng, I can't have worries when practicing Taoism now," Zhou Zheng said with a smile, "Take it, it will be good to kill more demons."
Feng Bugui weighed the two treasures, looked at Zhou Zheng for a while, and then put them away with a wry smile.
"Are you really the leader of the immortals now?"
"That's just my identity. At the very least, my name hasn't changed." Zhou Zheng took a bite of fried beef with green onions and his mouth was full of oil. "Captain Feng, are you still thinking of fighting the monster to your death?"
"Ah," Feng Bugui said with a smile, "Life must have a value. My value is to kill monsters. Of course, I can only kill some little monsters."
Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said slowly: "I should bring a small force to fight in the demon territory next, but this is just my personal idea and I haven't discussed it with them yet."
"This is also an experience for myself," Zhou Zheng said with a smile, "There is no rush, it will take some time to complete the trip. I still have a lot of insights that I haven't fully absorbed and digested, and I still have to retreat."
"Drink, drink."
Feng Bugui picked up his wine glass and touched it with Zhou Zheng, sighing softly: "I will listen to the arrangements from above. If you have the authority to transfer, you can transfer him."
"I was thinking that if I asked Captain Feng to kill some little monsters, it would be all over," Zhou Zheng said with a smile, "I'll avenge you for the rest of the vengeance."
Team Feng was silent for a while, sitting there looking out the window at the bustling street scene that had begun to return to normal.
"Xiao Zhou."
"Um?"
"Do you have ideals? In other words, do you have a long-term goal?"
"Yes," Zhou Zheng answered decisively, "Captain Feng, do you want to hear the serious one or the unserious one?"
Feng Bugui's eyes lit up: "Is there anything else that's not serious?"
"Probably," Zhou Zheng squinted and smiled, "the ultimate mode of having a hot kang for your wife and children."
"What do you mean?"
"Let me be serious!"
Zhou Zheng quickly changed the subject and said seriously:
"For me, my current goal is to survive, survive other people's calculations, and solve the crises on the road ahead. I will consider the mission given to me by others and complete it without being a puppet or being kidnapped.
"For the people around me, I want to protect them, so I need stronger strength.
"That's probably it."
Feng Bugui wondered: "If you don't want to die now, who can kill you?"
"Many, I am the twelfth reincarnation."
Zhou Zheng started counting with his fingers:
"There is a big wave of SS that is resurrecting. The old chairman of Tianting doesn't know what he is planning. The chairman's wife is missing, and a mysterious force seems to be surfacing.
"What I can rely on now is a founding member of the group who cannot directly interfere in the group's affairs.
"My enemies are the entire conglomeration of demons and monsters in the three realms, as well as the careerists hiding in the ranks of the gods. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is surrounded by dangers."
Feng Bugui asked in a deep voice: "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"Drink with me," Zhou Zheng picked up the wine glasses and clinked them. "Being able to listen to my complaints has already helped me a lot."
Feng Bugui chuckled: "Well, if you want to complain in the future, just come to my place. I will help you relieve your stress... Let's take a shower after drinking wine?"
"A serious bathhouse?"
"yes."
"The Immortal Body is Immaculate, thank you."
"I'll go! Have you become an immortal?"
"Unify the caliber with the outside world, the little immortal of Yuanxian Realm."
In the window of the shop, the two of them chatted over the table full of food until the sun went down, then they walked arm-in-arm to the bathhouse not far away.
Unfortunately, before he could go in, Zhou Zheng's phone vibrated several times, but it was Ao Ying who called.
Zhou Zheng immediately became energetic, glanced at the facade of the bathing center in front of him with some guilt, and whispered: "Hello?"
"Zhou, if Ao Yitian comes looking for you, you... you can fight him as long as you want to save your life, otherwise the elder sister will not be able to explain to Ao Yitian's family."
"What's the meaning?"
"He has promised to challenge you for a duel. It seems that he has arrived at Qingshan City. I am confirming his location."
Zhou Zheng blinked and looked up at the street corner.
There, there was a cloaked figure approaching towards him, but there was no aura fluctuation in him. Zhou Zheng's immortal knowledge revealed that he was just an ordinary person.
What a great concealment method.
"Yingying, come to me," Zhou Zheng said in a deep voice, "He has found me. Something seems wrong."
"Huh? How come it's so fast?"
"It's okay, I'll stabilize him first," Zhou Zheng said, "The Dragon Clan can handle the matters of the Dragon Clan themselves."
Ao Ying had hung up her phone and was rushing here.
At the corner of the street, the figure under the cloak slowly raised his head, revealing a sinister and handsome face, with a slight sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.
