The Body of the Zoysia Ancestor
The Xu brothers thought that these dozen or so rays of light were coming for them, so they couldn't help but panic and tremble all over.
But when the group of people came closer, they realized that they weren't from the Wu clan, but were instead a group of loose cultivators who had gathered together for some unknown reason. There were even a few familiar faces among them.
However, these people all looked flustered at the moment, as if they had encountered something terrifying. Most of them didn't even look in their direction and just flew past them.
Among them, there was a young female cultivator with her hair combed into a ponytail and dressed in a gauze dress with silk ribbons. She was flying on a pink handkerchief. When she saw the Xu brothers, a surprised expression appeared on her face. After a brief hesitation, she waved her long sleeves and turned around, shouting in a rather urgent voice, "Why are you still here? If you don't leave now, your life will be in danger! "
After saying this, she didn't wait for the Xu brothers to reply and hurriedly curtsied, chasing after the group of people in front of her.
The Xu brothers looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes. Xu Yankuang hurriedly turned around and bowed to Zhang Yan, saying, "Brother Li, you see, this Wu clan is very powerful …"
Before he could finish, Zhang Yan flicked his sleeve and said with a cold expression, "Fellow Daoists, please go. I won't accompany you any longer." After saying this, he didn't even look at the two people and turned around to enter the cave.
If it weren't for the Wu clan's guest's arrogant and despotic behavior, attacking him without asking anything, he wouldn't have bothered to care about this. Besides, he still needed to find the Zoysia Ancestor, so he naturally wouldn't travel together with these two people. As for whether the Wu clan would come looking for trouble, he didn't care at all. If they were stupid enough to come looking for trouble, he would just kill them.
When Xu Yankuang saw that Zhang Yan had no intention of responding to them, he was startled. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his brother Xu Yanfu pulled him back and said in a low voice, "Elder Brother, there is no need to persuade him. This person's strength far surpasses ours, and he will surely have a way to protect himself. With us two brothers here, if we really fight with the Wu Sect, we will only drag this Fellow Daoist down."
Seeing Zhang Yan's cold attitude, Xu Yanfu knew that he would only be annoying if he stayed any longer. His big brother had been cultivating all year round and did not understand the ways of the world. If he continued to speak and angered Li Yuanba, it would not be good. However, it was not good for him to directly persuade him, so he could only change to this euphemism.
Xu Yanfu suddenly understood and said, "Second Brother is right."
He respectfully bowed towards Zhang Yan's cave and said loudly, "Fellow Daoist Li, words cannot express our gratitude for your great kindness. Then, we brothers will take our leave first. If fate wills it, we will meet again."
Zhang Yan stepped into the cave abode. Mister Shi was still sitting firmly on the stone bench. Seeing him enter, he stroked his beard and asked, "The Wu clan is powerful. Now that this mountain is still at the foot of Nine Heads Peak, does Fellow Daoist Li not want to find a place to hide temporarily?"
Zhang Yan chuckled and said, "Why would I be afraid of this Wu clan? Moreover, the five peaks of Mount Qingcun would be occupied by those big clans sooner or later. Unless one went far away, it would be the same wherever one went.
Wen
Word by word
Take me. "
Mister Shi frowned. "Oh? As far as this old man knows, the Shi and Yan families are not as overbearing as the Wu family. “
Zhang Yan chuckled coldly and said, "After the Wu family occupied Nine Heads Peak, those rogue cultivators had no choice but to look for the mushrooms elsewhere. This time, there are no less than ten big and small clans that have come to Mount Qingcun. If those rogue cultivators go there, they will definitely fight with them for the mushrooms. Just watch, Mister Shi. It won't be long before the other clans will follow suit and surround the mountain like the Wu family, not allowing others to interfere."
Mister Shi thought carefully and nodded slowly. He sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist is right. However, this old man has calculated that the Zoysia Ancestor's hiding place is not outside of the five peaks. If that's the case, it will be a little difficult."
Zhang Yan did not mind at all. He waved his hand and said in a low voice, "It's fine. Mister Shi, you only need to look for the mushrooms. As for those who block the way, I will deal with them."
He had no interest in these clans blocking and driving away other cultivators, but the Zoysia Ancestor was one of the key external ingredients for him to condense his core. If anyone blocked his way, it was equivalent to blocking his Great Dao. There was no reason for him to care. He could only use the sword in his hand to kill.
Hearing the murderous intent in his words, Mister Shi's heart trembled. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "If that's the case, if fellow Daoist trusts this old man, then please give me the Transformation Zoysia."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Of course I trust Mister Shi."
He took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, pulled out the cork and poured the contents out. A wisp of fragrant green smoke came out of the bottle. When it reached the outside room, it slowly shrank down and turned into a palm-sized child. His eyes were filled with tears, lying on the stone table and looking at the two people pitifully.
Mister Shi looked at him for a while and reached out to grab him.
The child shivered, then suddenly stood up and kowtowed repeatedly, crying, "Master, please have mercy on this child's cultivation. Please let me go …"
Hearing the child's pitiful voice, Mister Shi's hand paused and comforted him, "Don't be afraid. I don't want to take your life. I just want to borrow your blood essence to find the Zoysia Ancestor."
The child was stunned, then quickly waved his hand and said, "Master wants to find the Ancestor? Even if you take this child's blood essence, you won't be able to catch it … "
Mister Shi pretended to be confused and said, "Oh? Why is that? If you give me a reason, I won't hurt you. "
The child quickly said, "Ever since the Taihao School's Ancestor sealed the mountain, the Ancestor has cultivated for more than four thousand years. He has already shed his true form and turned into a wisp of pure Qi. In a day, he can travel thousands of mountains and rivers. The two Masters will never be able to find the Ancestor."
Mister Shi smiled and said, "Kid, you've misunderstood me. The Zoysia Ancestor's cultivation is unfathomable. Even the current Taihao School's Sect Master might not be able to catch him. I only want the body that he shed."
Xiao Tong bit his finger and said in a weak voice, "That, that won't work. We don't know where the old ancestor hid the body. Even if the people from the Supreme Sky Sect came a few times, they couldn't find it."
Zhang Yan thought to himself, no matter how precious the Zoysia Root was, it could only be used to condense a core. Those who could enter this Great Void Defense Formation were at most at the Mystic Light Realm. They were not much stronger than the wandering cultivators. If the Taihao School Master was in charge of the formation, he could enter, but as a Sect Master, why would he do such a thing?
Seeing that the child seemed to be hiding something, Mister Shi wasn't angry. He smiled and didn't probe further. Instead, he started to talk about other things, such as the interesting things that happened when they were young, the endless scenery of the Dong Hua Continent, and the colorful world.
The child was simple-minded. Since birth, he had grown up in Mount Qingcun. Later, after he transformed, the world he saw was only this side of the world. He had never left Mount Qingcun. In the past, when those cultivators came, he would hide far away and never spoke to anyone. How could he have heard of such things?
After Mister Shi said a few words, he listened with great interest. The fear in his heart gradually disappeared, and his eyes flashed. When he reached the most exciting part, he couldn't help but clap his hands.
Zhang Yan stood at the side and held his breath, not saying a word. Since he invited Mister Shi to search for the Zoysia Root, he didn't doubt the person he used and let him handle it.
When it was close to noon, Mister Shi stopped talking and smiled. He said to the child, "Friend, it is fate that we met. Friend Li and I don't want to ruin our cultivation, so we will let you go today …"
Xiao Tong's face lit up and he exclaimed in surprise, "Really?" Then, he glanced at Zhang Yan timidly.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Since Mister Shi wants you to leave, I won't stop you. After we leave the mountain, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to come back again. We won't meet again in the future, so go cultivate."
Mister Shi raised his head and looked at Zhang Yan. He nodded slightly, and a hint of approval appeared in his eyes.
The little boy sneaked a few glances at the two of them, and then his body flashed. With a 'chi liu' sound, he disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Yan and Mister Shi sat motionlessly and didn't react at all. The cave became quiet, and only the sound of insects and grass rustling could be heard from time to time.
About four hours later, the two's expression suddenly changed and they smiled. A wisp of clear air floated in from outside and gradually condensed into a figure on the stone table. It was the Zoysia child who had left and returned.
The Zoysia child shouted to Mister Shi, "Master, master, if I am willing to help you find the ancestor's body, would you be willing to take me out of Mount Qing Cun?"
After he left, the more he thought about the matters of the mortal world, the more interesting it was, so he turned back halfway.
Mister Shi said, "Aren't you afraid that if you help me, your ancestor will find trouble with you?"
The child shook his head and said, "Ancestor once said that this place is blocked by the formation and there are no disasters or tribulations, so the body is of no use to him. As long as the vitality is still there, it won't take more than ten years to give birth to the body again. It's just that I didn't want the ancestor's body to be taken away for no reason, so I lied to Celestial Master."
Mister Shi and Zhang Yan looked at each other. He smiled and said, "Okay, if you are willing to help me, I can also take you out to see the scenery of the mortal world."
When Xiao Tong heard this, he was instantly overjoyed, and his eyes curved into crescent moons as he danced with joy and chuckled. But suddenly, he seemed to have noticed something, and his little face went pale as he held his head and said, "Trouble has come."
He looked around and saw that the porcelain bottle that Zhang Yan used to contain him was still on the stone table. He turned into a wisp of clear air and went inside.
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered. He shook his sleeves and went out of the cave.
At this moment, outside the cave, there was a young man dressed in green who was walking on a green cloud. He flicked his sleeves and walked forward in a carefree manner. Behind him, there were several green lights faintly appearing, causing his skin to be reflected in a green color.
There was a person beside him. It was Hou Sanlang, who was obediently following beside him with a humble look.
The green-clothed young man's nose twitched and he said curiously, "That's strange. I clearly smelled a strong spiritual vigor nearby. Why can't I smell it now? Could it be that someone made the first move?"
Hou Sanlang said fiercely, "How dare he fight with the Venerable One? This person deserves to die! I'm willing to teach him a lesson on behalf of the Venerable One. "
The young man in green waved his sleeves and chuckled, "There's no need. This person is already here."
Zhang Yan walked out of the abode and raised his head to look. The young man in green clothes was looking at him as well, and their gazes met before the young man actually roared with laughter and said, "I was wondering who dared to fight me for the treasure. So it's you!"
