The swarthy boy took out two identical yellow jade bottles from his cuffs, holding one in each hand and tossing them in the palm of his hand.
He still had the usual playful expression on his face and said: "Fellow Taoist Lianshu, I would like to advise you, it is best not to threaten me, and don't mess with the breaking formation. When I got nervous, I put the petrified wood poison in my hand. It would be bad if you break the jade bottle. That bottle only contains half of it, and these two fake bottles contain all the rest. Otherwise, even if you can break out of the formation and strangle the kid, all your efforts will be wasted."
His grasp of the harmony of people's hearts was at the master level, and he did not give Lian Shuhao a chance to break the formation in despair.
Lian Shuhao didn't speak for a while. He had just estimated that it would take about one word to break through the trap imposed by the young man with all his strength. This is his home base. He can use part of the power of heaven and earth, but as the young man said, , he didn't dare to break the formation with the rat-throwing weapon now. The two bottles held by the young man were too harsh for him.
"Your master is lucky to have such a loyal follower like you. I would also like to advise you, don't do it to death, otherwise I will try my best to keep you and your master in the shackles of wood poison."
Lian Shuhao thought about it, but he could only admit that he was unlucky and gave a harsh warning.
He was almost immortal in Shushan, but being trapped in the wood poison and suffering the pain of the tree's body slowly turning to stone was simply worse than death. He didn't want to force the young man to become anxious, so he returned the other two and a half percent of the wood poison to him. .
Once he has hope, he will definitely not want to lose it again. The dark-skinned young man quickly put away the jade vase and said with a smile: "Being friendly makes you rich. I'm sorry to offend you. Please forgive me, fellow Taoist Lian Shu, for not remembering the villain's fault. I feel sorry for you to stay here for a few years. When my master gets through this difficulty, let's It’s a good time to get together and part ways.”
The means he arranged must be more than this. If he can use a simple method to make Lian Shuhao feel defeated and dare not die, his goal will be achieved.
It's better to fight wits than strength, and not reveal your identity.
At the top of the tree mountain, it is not an easy task for Lian Shuhao to capture the lair of the ancient tree spirit.
As for killing Lian Shuhao, with his current ability, he couldn't even think about it. Even if he added Taoist Zhang, he wouldn't be able to do it. At most, both sides would lose in a fight, and neither would be good.
Who among the old monsters who survived a few thousand years ago doesn't have a few cards to save their lives?
The shadow trapped in the formation snorted coldly and moved slowly in the viscosity. It took about a quarter of an hour to reach the rock-like trunk of the ancient tree and disappear. Lian Shuhao did not dare to break the formation and annoy the young man. He made a desperate move and returned. The main body recharges its energy and becomes invisible.
The dark-skinned young man stepped back a hundred feet and faced the ancient tree like a mountain. He sat down in the gap between the trees in the forest and used the secret method of soul magic to instruct the tall and thin man guarding Taoist Zhang at the foot of the valley more than ten miles away. He had the ability to control the rune bone puppet. With partial authority, he was ordered to go out, open the nearby courtyard, and expel all the mortal prisoners, so as not to hinder Taoist Zhang's spiritual practice.
Mental state cultivation pays attention to harmony and purity. The further you go, the more it becomes so. If it is mixed with other things, it will become impure. It is easy to go astray and fall short of the success. The method Lian Shuhao thought of is simple and crude. If you want to restore the broken fourth-level state of mind, there is no way. Tens or hundreds of years of hard work are extremely difficult to achieve.
Of course, You Mengchang doesn't allow accidents to happen. He doesn't want to wait for decades or even more than a hundred years before breaking through and advancing. When the time comes, he will be all over the fifth level. How can he survive like a fish in water?
He had to guard at the top of the mountain, always keeping an eye on Lian Shuhao who had retreated to his true form, and not giving Lian Shuhao any opportunity to take advantage of him.
Don't underestimate any old monster that has lived for thousands of years. If you are not careful, you will be deceived.
The tall and thin man received the order to open the courtyard door, walked on the quiet valley street, opened the locked wooden doors one after another, and shouted one word to the prisoner inside who had a black face and a body shivering from the cold: "Get out of here." !」
As if they were granted amnesty, many mortals stumbled onto the streets and fled out of the valley.
The yin energy of this place is so weird that it's cold to the core. No one is stupid enough to run away and wait for death.
The monks guarding Yanlianshu Temple noticed the situation and came out to try to stop him. However, a tall and thin man exuding a fourth-level aura shouted: "Get out!"
A few people didn't dare to make any mistakes and quickly got out.
Pang Guanzhu will be questioned afterwards.
, they have reason to deal with it. Faced with the scolding of the fourth-level masters coming out of this forbidden area, what can they do to resist? That's not asking for death.
The tall and lanky man patrolled the area, returned to close the door, and guarded it for ten years.
The fluctuating aura of the towering tree gradually returned to its normal state, and the ruthless aura filled a small area of the world within a radius, feeling enlightened by heaven and earth. Occasionally, there were slight ripples, and the wood energy was full, replenishing the consumption of the big tree.
Zhang Wenfeng seemed to have had a long and dark nightmare. He originally valued love and justice and was an easy-going person. In the dream, he wanted to reverse his nature, be ruthless and deprived of all the disgusting vitality in the field of killing. His original intention and the state of mind that wanted to break through The conflict caused him to suffer a lot.
He fell into it, broke free and returned to his true nature, fell into it again and came back again with great perseverance.
He went back and forth several times, and he didn't know where the way forward was. He got lost on the increasingly dark road and struggled hard.
He forgot that he merged into a tree, and even that he was a human being.
Instinctively going with the flow, his cultivation and state of mind are growing rapidly. His consciousness seemed to be trapped in a cage, with no light visible, darkness, coldness and silence everywhere. Occasionally, a little bit of vitality dropped, and it soon lost its vitality. He wandered in it, searching for some vague thoughts.
He didn't know that it was the consumption of the canopy of merit, and he maintained a trace of his original intention to sever the divine connection.
Until one day he stopped and watched a little greenish thing fall into the darkness. Before the foreign object's vitality quickly passed away and became extinct, he removed the rich cold water and watched that little thing fall to the ground.
I don’t know how long it took, but the foreign object took root and sprouted. In the darkness, there were two thick green shoots. Their vitality was weak but so fresh. They trembled slightly and seemed to be annihilated at any time in the boundless darkness and coldness.
The calm and ruthless aura suddenly fluctuated violently, almost affecting the vitality of that small area several times.
In just a moment, the coldness receded like a tide, and everything returned to the trunk of the big tree.
The long-lost sunshine poured in, and the green mist that had lingered on the rocky tree trunks for more than ten years slowly retracted into the trees.
A year later, Zhang Wenfeng's figure emerged from the tree trunk and landed on the moss-covered courtyard ground that had returned to life. With a warm smile on his face, he was able to break through the barrier of "there is love in the depths of ruthlessness", and his state of mind Harmony, return to normalcy, and use the majestic energy accumulated in these years of ups and downs to successfully break through and advance.
The breakthrough path he chose after careful consideration, using trees as a basis to gain insights, reduced his complex emotions facing the human world. Unexpectedly, it was also extremely difficult, and he almost had no way out.
Perhaps, if you want to break through and advance to the fifth level, it is not easy to choose any path?
The one that suits him is the best, and he came over.
You Mengchang's laughter came to his ears: "Congratulations to Daoyou Zhang for successfully breaking through the realm, advancing to the fifth level of the Return to One Realm, and taking one step closer to ascending to the upper realm. Congratulations!"
Zhang Wenfeng looked up, and he saw the mist rising on the top of the tree mountain more than ten miles away, and the tense situation. He knew that it was not easy for Mr. You to fight the ancient tree sprites to the point where he could not see them. He said with a smile: "We are all happy together, fellow Taoists who have worked hard to protect the Dharma!"
Before entering into deep insights, he had a profound conversation with Mr. You behind closed doors.
Otherwise, he would not be able to abandon distracting thoughts and devote himself to breakthrough in dangerous situations, without caring about his own safety. The path of cultivation is not a matter of a day or two. He can completely go out and continue to travel to enhance his understanding and find countless places without demons. The old tree is cultivated.
It was You Mengchang who persuaded him that the opportunity was rare and he should work hard to realize the benefits.
The iron should be forged while it is hot, and the rice should be cooked while it is uncooked.
What moved him most was that You Mengchang confessed to him that because of the damn life-and-death contract, only he could advance first, and only then could You Lao succeed in breaking through. Perhaps the secret of heaven was involved, and You Mengchang also The explanation is not clear.
At that time, he was at the peak of his ruthless mood. He looked at things rationally and coldly without emotion, and could judge the truth and falsehood based on instinct.
If he believed it, he would avoid many detours.
