Chapter 952 Old Man Zhou whose life hangs on a thread
'Damn man!'
Mrs. Yao couldn't help but cursed again in her heart.
After a while.
Only then did she regain her composure, then she glanced at Cheng Buzheng with a resentful look, and said pitifully:
"It seems that Taoist friend can't trust me?"
Cheng Buzheng looked at Mrs. Yao who was somewhat resentful, and he knew in his heart that the other party was not deceiving him.
After all, the value of this news is only half a profit.
Moreover, Cheng Buzheng didn't believe Mrs. Yao, and he never thought about the possibility of the origin of those demonic spiritual materials?
Regardless of the possibility, Mrs. Yao should also know;
The difference between a full meal and a full meal.
Even so, Cheng Buzheng's half-profit is not so easy to get.
After all, what the other party said was true, and it was just his speculation.
But once the inner demon swears, it must be true.
Immediately.
Mrs. Yao directly used her Taoist heart as a guarantee and swore the inner demon oath.
"Hey... Madam, look at what you're causing trouble!" Cheng Buzheng said with a bitter look on his face.
"It was just a joke, madam, why would you take it seriously? How will I deal with this?"
'hehe!'
'Why didn't you say anything when I made the oath about my inner demon just now?'
'Isn't it interesting to wait until I've finished posting before speaking?'
'Damn scheming man!'
Mrs. Yao muttered with unabated resentment in her heart.
However, Mrs. Yao is a demon queen after all, and her mentality is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Soon, a beautiful smile appeared on her beautiful face again, and she chatted with Cheng Buzheng.
after all!
Maintaining a good relationship with Cheng Buzheng would be of great benefit to her.
Even if she had suppressed her food before, as long as it was beneficial, she would not be indifferent to it.
Immediately afterwards.
Waves of cute laughter came from the main hall, and at the same time, male voices sounded in the main hall.
After some polite courtesy.
The two seemed to speak much more casually, and their relationship seemed to be more familiar than before.
Immediately, Cheng Buzheng also chose to say goodbye and leave.
Xuanyin Sect, outside the formation...
A majestic figure with fluttering clothes stood in the void, staring into the distance, with a flash of thinking in his eyes.
'Demon Flame Sect, Blood Flame True Lord!'
Cheng Buzheng murmured in his heart.
good!
The Demon Flame Sect, True Lord Blood Flame was the news given to him by Madam Yao.
[Buddha's Heart Fruit] is also in this person's hand.
What he said to Mrs. Yao before, ‘The other party should sell her face next time!’ was just an excuse!
In fact, Shang Cheng Bu Zheng had no countermeasures in mind.
It's because he can't do anything openly.
after all!
The Immortal Alliance and the Demonic Alliance have issued decrees long ago, strictly prohibiting attacking each other.
Although Cheng Buzheng doesn’t know why this is the case?
But he knew that during this period he must not do anything openly.
As for taking action secretly, it is unlikely!
All because, if Yuanying monks have nothing important to do, they will usually practice quietly in the sect, hoping to make further progress.
And Cheng Buzheng couldn't just knock on the door.
As for the monks who transformed into strangers and took action against the [Demon Flame Sect], the movement was too big.
He destroyed the Qingmu Sect before, and this incident has aroused the vigilance of the Immortal Alliance. If it happens again, it will not end as easily as before.
Therefore, this method is not advisable.
moment.
Thoughts flashed through Cheng Buzheng's mind.
soon!
His eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something?
next moment.
A mysterious light flashed under Cheng Bu Zheng's feet and disappeared into the void.
·····
In the blink of an eye, two years have passed!
It may seem like a short time, but only for those in the foundation building stage and above.
To Cheng Buzheng, that was even less worth mentioning.
However, for a qi-training monk whose longevity is almost at the limit of mortal life, two years is a relatively long time.
Especially for the monks in the Qi-training period who have reached their end, this may almost be the last period of their lives!
Just like a dark alley in Baiyun Fairy City.
This is the outermost area of Baiyun Immortal City, and it is also the home of many monks in the Qi Refining Period.
Not only are poor casual cultivators living here, but there are also some low-level disciples whose energy and blood have declined and who have quit the sect early, also live in similar alleys.
In a small house... there lived an old man with gray hair!
And this is a late-stage qi-training monk.
Among the monks in the Qi Refining Stage, those with this level of cultivation can be considered a strong person.
Is it really puzzling that someone with such a level of cultivation still lives in such a cheap dwelling?
At this time, the old man's condition was not very good!
I saw this old man with a pale face, lying on the bed, looking at the door quietly, with a look of hope in his eyes, as if he was waiting for something?
If Cheng Buzheng could see this situation...
He will definitely think of the old man lying in bed in front of him, as angry as a thread, to those empty nesters in his previous life.
At this time, they looked exactly the same!
Their cloudy eyes were full of expectation, but also a little uneasy, as if they were afraid of disturbing their children's life and work.
All we can do is wait quietly.
After a long time!
The old man lying on the bed slowly closed his cloudy eyes, and a long sigh sounded in the small house.
The days are passing by!
Although the spiritual pressure flowing out of the old man lying on the bed was still in the late stage of Qi training, the deterrent ability of the spiritual pressure had greatly decreased.
even!
Even the intimidating power of spiritual pressure possessed by a monk who has just entered the immortal path to practice Qi... is not as powerful as it is.
Obviously.
The old man's final day is only a few days away.
Otherwise, a late-stage Qi Refining monk would never look like this!
This day.
A young monk entered Baiyun Immortal City and came to a dark alley...all the monks he met around him retreated away.
He didn't look sideways, and with a calm look on his face, he passed through the path that the crowd had left.
Such a deterrent...
This is not only a young monk, but also has the cultivation level of the late stage of Qi training.
It is also because of the robes worn by the young monk.
good!
Those are the standard robes worn by Baiyun Sect disciples.
When the young monk walked away, the monks who had retreated away began to talk one after another.
“Old man Zhou’s grandson is here to see old man Zhou!”
"Old man Zhou is really lucky! His grandson is not only a disciple of Baiyun Sect, but also a strong person in the late stage of Qi training.
Maybe, I can take a step further and become a strong foundation builder."
"How can it be so easy? Even if there are some late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in the Baiyun Sect, how many of them can have such an opportunity?"
"If you don't talk about it far away, let's talk about old man Zhou!
I heard that he was also a disciple of the Baiyun Sect when he was young, and his cultivation was not weak, but when his energy and blood declined, he was not the same as us."
"That's not right!"
"If Old Man Zhou was also a disciple of the Baiyun Sect when he was young, how could he possibly live here? Even if he does not live in the Spirit Vein Cave in Baiyun Immortal City, he should have enough wealth to live in the large courtyard?"
"Haha, you forgot about Old Man Zhou's grandson who just walked by."
"If it weren't for Old Man Zhou's full support, how could his grandson have reached the peak level of Qi training at this age?"
"Besides, Old Man Zhou has no family behind him. He still lives here. Where has the spirit stone gone? Needless to say?"
"Yes, I heard that Old Man Zhou's grandson's spiritual roots are not much better?
I heard it’s the four spiritual roots, but I don’t know if it’s true?”
"It may come out of nowhere, but it may not be without cause!"
"But in recent days, I haven't seen old man Zhou walking around, maybe we can test it out?"
"I guess... Old Man Zhou's days are numbered?
The last time I saw him, he had some faint signs of exhaustion of energy and blood. This was a sign that his end was approaching!"
"Forget how old Mr. Zhou is, his longevity is almost over!"
"Yes, if we can't break through the foundation building period, a hundred years of life will be our limit."
"But how difficult is it to break through?"
“····”
For a while.
These old neighbors of Old Man Zhou are also lamenting the difficulty of cultivating immortals and the difficulties of survival!
The topic also changed unconsciously.
the other side.
The young monk also came to Old Zhou's bed, his heart tightened, and then he suppressed the overflowing emotions in his heart.
"Grandpa, my grandson is here!"
Zhou An looked at the angry old man in front of him and called out softly.
Hear the words.
Lying on the bed, the listless old man Zhou slowly opened his eyelids and looked at his grandson with cloudy eyes.
"Okay...okay...cough...cough!"
Old man Zhou's cloudy eyes showed joy, and he coughed while looking at the high-spirited Zhou An.
Seeing this, Zhou An squatted down, sat on the edge of the bed, reached out to help Old Zhou up, and gently patted Old Zhou's back while softly comforting:
"Grandpa, you are not in good health, why didn't you inform me?"
"If I had known that you were so weak, I would not have taken on the mission and would have come to serve you when you are old!"
Having said that.
But the moment Zhou An saw Old Man Zhou, he also clearly understood why his grandfather was in such a situation now.
As long as you step onto the path of immortality, you will not suffer from any disease, it will just be ordinary!
Naturally live to the end.
Only when the end is approaching will there be signs such as depletion of Qi and blood, weak spiritual pressure, etc.
Hear the words.
Old man Zhou looked at Zhou An, as if he had seen himself back then, and said intermittently:
"My body, I know it!
I guess I won’t last a few more days...”
"grandfather···"
Old man Zhou stretched out his skinny hand and interrupted:
"No need to say anything, just listen to me!"
this moment.
Old Zhou's complexion suddenly became much rosier, and even his energy seemed to be radiant again.
He seemed to have returned to the glorious moment when he first entered the sect.
good!
Not only is Zhou An a disciple of the Baiyun Sect, but Old Man Zhou was also a disciple of the Baiyun Sect.
Moreover, Old Man Zhou has always had a big secret hidden in his heart.
Today, there are very few monks who know this secret.
As for the monk who knew this secret in the Qi Refining Stage, he is the only one left now. The other monks either died decades ago or died outside.
As for the few remaining monks, they are all big shots.
And these big shots also don't dare to leak it.
Old man Zhou knew this clearly.
The most important thing is that if you are lucky, your grandson can take a step further and become a strong person in the foundation building stage.
As for him, he has no such fate!
good.
Even if he knew this secret many years ago, he would have had time to break through, but he just didn't have the fate...
Trade this secret for a chance at a breakthrough.
Because of this, when he learned this secret, he was also put under a tight curse by a big shot.
Once something happens, he will definitely die.
But now that he is approaching his end, he naturally doesn't care about this tight curse that has been on his head for many years.
He even wanted to use this secret in exchange for a breakthrough opportunity for his grandson.
As for whether it will work or not, it all depends on whether Zhou An is destined to do it or not?
The strong ones in the world of immortality have always survived crisis after crisis to reach higher realms.
Old man Zhou, who has lived for many years, naturally knows this.
Therefore, as long as Zhou An wants to continue on his path to immortality, he will definitely experience crisis after crisis.
Thinking of this...
Old man Zhou no longer showed any kindness. He looked at Zhou An solemnly and said:
"An'er, if there is an opportunity for a breakthrough in front of you, are you willing to risk your life?"
During the conversation.
Old man Zhou stared at Zhou An with his turbid eyes, as if his answer was deciding something?
Hear the words.
Zhou An stopped moving his hands and looked at his grandfather with a rare expression of solemnity.
He understood that grandpa was not joking with him.
It is very possible that grandpa really has this opportunity.
Moreover, Grandpa is so solemn, which shows that this opportunity is by no means easy to come by.
Otherwise, grandpa wouldn't have said these words.
After Zhou An hesitated for a moment, a firm look appeared in his eyes.
"Grandpa, if there is such an opportunity, my grandson is willing to give it a try!"
Seeing this, Old Man Zhou coughed lightly, looked at Zhou An with sharp eyes, and said sternly:
"Even if you risk your life, are you willing?"
"willing!"
Zhou An said firmly again.
next moment!
Old man Zhou seemed to have had all his energy drained out of his body.
After a long sigh...
He glanced at Zhou An with complicated eyes, and then slowly closed his cloudy eyes.
Seeing his grandfather's appearance, Zhou An seemed to realize the conflicting feelings in his grandfather's heart at this moment.
Just when he didn't know what to say...
Old man Zhou opened his cloudy eyes again and said slowly:
"In this case, grandpa is also willing to help you!
I wish you everlasting immortality!"
Immediately afterwards.
Old man Zhou's mouth moved slightly, and a voice sounded in Zhou An's head.
Just a few words made Zhou An's pupils shrink slightly, and a cold air rushed to Tianling Gai.
He didn't expect... Grandpa would hide such a big secret.
If it is exposed, at least the structure of the Jin Kingdom's world of immortality will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Don’t wait for grandpa to finish telling the cause and effect...
suddenly!
The voice in his head suddenly stopped.
Looking again, he saw that the grandfather in his arms had lost his vitality, and even the fluctuations in his soul were destroyed in that moment.
It was as if he suddenly passed away because his time had come.
Seeing this, Zhou An also discovered that the cause of his grandfather's death was not due to the loss of Qi and blood and the exhaustion of his origin!
Instead, he died from the collapse of the sea of consciousness.
This is by no means a sign that the time has come and he has passed away.
On the contrary, it looks like a sudden burst of restrictions.
this moment!
He completely understood the true meaning of his grandfather's words, "Grandpa, I'll help you!" before telling him the secret.
This is his grandfather risking his life to gain an opportunity for him!
