Chapter 1307: Falling off the cliff
Meng Zhang returned to his residence in despair.
The experience here left him physically and mentally exhausted, speechless and choked.
"Is this world really that dark?"
It was clearly an era when the spirit was in charge and the Qingming and Ming Dynasty were open to the outside world, but there was still a dandy like Huang Tong dominating the government. Meng Zhang couldn't help but feel deeply sad for his own weakness and powerlessness.
"Junior Brother Meng, why are you doing this? The Golden Spirit Jade Essence Flower has grown for more than ten thousand years. It is a top treasure comparable to Taoist tools. Although the earth veins in this place have shrunk, it is not enough for it to grow for that long, but with what you picked,
That portion should be more than ten years old, but it is enough for refining the three-yuan medicine!"
At night, another monk named Lin came to the door, chatted with Meng Zhang, and mentioned the matter.
Senior Brother Lin thought to himself: "You don't know, Huang Tong wants the thing in your hand, and he plans to get it and mix it as a great medicine for divine energy when forming elixirs!"
Meng Zhang didn't believe it: "Is it him who is the great medicine of divine origin?"
Senior Brother Lin looked at Meng Zhang with a distressed look: "Why don't you understand that he wants this thing not for himself, but for his father! Now his father has reached an important stage of condensing the true elixir.
.”
Meng Zhang sneered and said, "Then he is still a filial son and a virtuous grandson? But what does this have to do with me?"
Senior Brother Lin said: "Originally it was not relevant, but since you accidentally exposed this matter, it has become relevant. The Yan family and the Huang family have finally managed to produce such a talented person who is expected to form a pill. In order to obtain suitable treasures
, will definitely take advantage of it at all costs. When the time comes, you, a mere disciple of the outer courtyard who comes from a poor family and has no roots, do you still want to keep the treasure?"
Meng Zhang's expression froze, and there was deep regret in his eyes.
Yes. You should never, never, ever expose your money to others.
How can a disciple like himself, who is like mud under his feet in the eyes of others, keep his property?
Senior Brother Lin sighed and said: "Don't think that this world is dark. There are even darker things. You have never seen it. That is, within the sect, there is still room for you to complain and be angry. If it were other sects and Mangjianghu,
, I’m afraid grass has grown on the graves by now, don’t blame senior brother for not speaking nicely, but he means it from the bottom of his heart.”
Meng Zhang's expression was relaxed, but he was still unwilling to accept it: "I spent a lot of hard work and almost lost my life to get that thing. If Huang Tong could exchange it for other treasures, it would be almost the same. But why is it in vain?
Take it to him?"
Senior brother Lin shook his head: "If it can be exchanged for other treasures, it wouldn't be called plundering. What he wants is to rob you openly. In my opinion. You might as well hand it over. Neither the Huang family nor the Yan family will treat you badly in the future."
you."
"Haha..." Meng Zhang smiled miserably: "I won't treat you badly..."
"Could it be that he, Huang Tong, robbed me of my treasures, adopted me as a hawk, and treated me like a dog? Is he not going to treat me badly?"
Senior Brother Lin's eyes moved slightly and said: "This is a serious statement, but Huang Tong will not directly benefit you. Any benefits that should be obtained must be obtained elsewhere."
"If I really cling to a powerful person, I may indeed be able to dominate and gain a lot of benefits, but these benefits are also obtained by robbing others and exploiting others."
"I, Meng Zhang, would rather take what is straight than seek what is wrong! It's okay if I don't do this kind of thing!"
Meng Zhang said decisively.
The words were not speculative, and even Senior Brother Lin, who came to persuade him, didn't have much to say and left quickly.
"How about it? The boy didn't agree, did he?"
Not long after, in another courtyard in the mountain gate, Huang Tong was half leaning on a free chair, holding an enchanting female disciple in his arms, and asked lazily.
Senior Brother Lin, who had acted like a close friend just now, trying to persuade Meng Zhang, was now acting respectfully and loyally, and said flatteringly: "Senior Brother Huang is really good at knowing things. That kid is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.
, I tried my best to persuade him, but I couldn’t persuade him.”
"He is seeking his own death!" Huang Tong's face gradually turned cold, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"I said, Senior Brother Huang, Junior Brother Lin, why do you go to so much trouble to just find an excuse to transfer Meng Zhang out of the mountain gate and kill him outside? Isn't that the end of the world? Let's have people search his residence and the places he frequents later.
One last time, I'm sure I'll find it." Hearing this, the enchanting female cultivator giggled.
"You really have long hair and short knowledge!" Huang Tong pinched her plump breasts angrily and sneered, "I still don't know how to send people to search? They have already searched everywhere inside and outside.
, maybe it’s just stored in a treasure bag, if you don’t get rid of him first, what’s the use of it?”
The enchanting female cultivator smiled awkwardly when she heard this.
Senior Brother Lin smiled and said: "Senior Brother Huang is absolutely right. Even if we have to deal with him, there is no need to rush. We will find what we are looking for first!"
Of course, there is no need to rush, Huang's father forming the elixir is not a matter of a moment, and other treasures are also being collected gradually.
What's more important is that he was tempted for a long time and slowly induced a confession, which further showed his merit.
One day a few months later, a hundred miles outside Hanshan Villa, there was a desolate forest called the Dry Skeleton Forest.
The two figures flashed past quickly, flying through the sparse dead woods.
The person running in front was none other than Meng Zhang, who had been suppressed and persecuted a few months ago.
At this moment, his clothes were in tatters, his expression was sluggish, his face was pale, and his upper and lower body were covered with wounds of various sizes. It was obvious that he had gone through a brutal life-and-death struggle.
Behind him was Senior Brother Lin, dressed in white and running with a sword.
He looked very restful, tapped the branches with his toes, his body was as light as a swallow, and he caught up with him easily.
"Junior Brother Meng, don't run away anymore, you can't escape."
Senior Brother Lin looked at the crumbling figure of Meng Zhang in front of him, sighed softly, and said quietly.
Soon after, the two chased each other and ran away, and unexpectedly came to the edge of a bottomless cliff.
In front of Meng Zhang, the road has been cut off, and there are steep and uneven mountains and wilderness on both sides, with no cover. Behind him, Senior Brother Lin jumped high, like a roc spreading its wings, and arrived in the blink of an eye.
"Thief, you and Huang Tong are actually on the same team!"
Meng Zhang turned around suddenly, his bloodshot eyes filled with anger and hatred.
Facing Meng Zhang's accusation, Senior Brother Lin was silent for a while and said: "Junior Brother Meng, don't blame me. If you want to blame me, you can only blame yourself for being too naive. You really thought that I would risk offending you by taking away the treasure.
Don’t you know that the dojos and markets in this area of thousands of miles are all communicating with each other. You and I are both powerless disciples of the outer courtyard. Even if it is true as you said, pretending to go there in disguise is just deceiving yourself and others.
.”
Meng Zhang said angrily: "Then you don't have to harm me in turn!"
Senior Brother Lin sighed softly and said: "You are seeking death, who else can you blame? If it weren't for the purpose of finding out the exact location of the treasure you mentioned, why would I, a senior apprentice who is about to obtain formal qualifications in the late stage of Qi refining, spend all day with me?
How much care do you take when you hang out together? Do you really think that since we come from the same secular country, we have the friendship of the same country? You don't even think about it, you are just a pariah, and I am the son of King Pingnan..."
Meng Zhang's body trembled, and deep sadness filled his eyes, which then turned into despair.
Senior Brother Lin thought to himself: "I have told you before that carrying a heavy treasure but not having the corresponding strength is like a child holding gold to get through the bustling city. If you had given it away early, you might still be able to save your life, but now...
"
"Now, am I bound to die?" Meng Zhang interrupted him and shouted unwillingly.
Senior Brother Lin turned his sword, pointed it at him, and walked forward calmly.
Meng Zhang backed away and said with hatred: "In this case, even if I die, I will not let you have an easy time! Isn't it the Golden Spirit Jade Essence Flower, isn't it the Divine Essence Medicine? If you want it, come and get it!"
His expression already seemed crazy. He suddenly turned around and ran towards the cliff quickly.
Senior Brother Lin was shocked when he saw his actions, but then he felt relieved.
The cliff looks like it is shrouded in clouds and is bottomless, but in fact it is less than a thousand feet. It is enough to kill an early Qi-refining disciple like Meng Zhang, but it is not enough to stop a late-stage disciple like him.
He thought to himself that even if Meng Zhang couldn't think of it and jumped off a cliff to die, he still wouldn't be able to hide the treasure, and it would eventually fall into his hands.
It's just a matter of spending a little more effort and climbing down to look for it.
At this moment, Senior Brother Lin suddenly saw Meng Zhang jump up.
Meng Zhang turned to Senior Brother Lin, with a sly smile on his face, and took out a strange elixir from the treasure bag that looked like it was carved from white jade and exuded a faint golden glow.
Golden jade essence flower!
In mid-air, he opened his mouth and swallowed the entire plant's treasures.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Meng Zhang laughed with tears in his eyes, he was so happy!
"Damn it, you actually ate it! But you are still too naive, thinking that you can digest it after eating the treasure? As long as you find your bones and take them back for refining, you can still refine the divine medicine!"
Senior Brother Lin yelled angrily.
Senior Brother Lin had calculated everything, but he didn't expect Meng Zhang to be so decisive, and his heart suddenly bleeds.
The golden jade essence flowers that were decades old were wasted by him in vain. This is such a waste of nature!
Even if you can use the blood elixir method to make a great medicine, the efficacy will be greatly reduced.
In the Huang family, there is no way to avoid eating and being miserable!
"I originally wanted to keep your whole body, but you forced me to do so!"
Senior Brother Lin pinched the magic formula with his hand, and with a flash of sword light, the flying sword in his hand shot out like a sharp arrow, instantly passing through Meng Zhang's chest.
Then, without even retracting his flying sword, Senior Brother Lin immediately ran down the cliff on the other side like an ape climbing.
He wanted to rush to the bottom of the cliff as soon as possible and find Meng Zhang's body!
Senior Brother Lin did not see that when Meng Zhang was injured in the chest and fell to the verge of death, the entire time and space near the cliff seemed to undergo a strange distortion.
Like ripples of water, a deep voice without any emotion sounded:
"The characteristics of the soul meet the requirements, the identity of the reincarnator is confirmed, and entry is allowed..."
