In an instant, the blood mist dissipated.
There stood a thin young man, whose appearance could not be said to be very handsome, and his face was even a little aloof, but there was a reddish light in his eyes, showing a somewhat different aura.
The young man was none other than Lu Zheng. Hearing that the visitor claimed to be the foreign affairs officer of Jingtian Jianfeng and that he was delivering a message for his senior brother Yan, he strode over, stretched out his hand and said, "Where's the letter? Bring it."
The foreign affairs manager spoke in a warm tone, took out a letter from his storage bag, and presented it with both hands: "Master Lu, please accept the letter."
Lu Zheng took the letter over, looked down at it, and realized that it was sealed with the true meaning of Feng Lei, and was tainted with his own aura - the same as the one he left for Senior Brother Yan before - so he wrote the letter nine times. become.
After opening the letter, he glanced at it and memorized everything contained in it.
Immediately, Lu Zheng looked slightly relaxed - fortunately, Senior Brother Yan and Master Ye returned safely.
·
In the early years, after Lu Zheng and Ye Yan separated, they made their homes around the world, looking for opportunities everywhere, and often took on tasks in Wantong Tower, fighting evil with evil, catching those evil people, draining their blood, and improving themselves. of cultivation.
Don't look at the despicable and shameless Master Xunfu, but the method he obtained is very powerful. After Lu Zheng's transformation, his spiritual roots turned into bloody things, which are almost the same as real blood spiritual roots. With enough blood supply, he can practice Entry is very fast. At the same time, he had the honey given to him by Ye Shu in his hand. After taking it carefully, his foundation was quite solid.
In addition, Lu Zheng also has the Ancient Yin Ghost Sophora japonica obtained from his encounter with Ye Yan. If he doesn't have enough spiritual stones or needs some heavenly materials or earthly treasures, he can exchange them for this, and there will be no shortage of resources.
But Lu Zheng didn't expect that not long after he traveled, he suddenly heard that the shameless Nascent Soul Master was bullying the juniors, causing his senior brother Yan and his benefactor Master Ye to live in exile without knowing where they were. He was so angry that he almost immediately If your mood is shaken, you can't wait to kill him with this mere foundation-building cultivation! Fortunately, he soon heard that Senior Brother Yan's biological master had traveled thousands of miles to look for him, and his mood gradually stabilized, and then he was filled with fear.
For many days after that, Lu Zheng often paid attention to the news of Xuanming Mansion, and he also worked hard to improve his cultivation. After going back and forth, although he was still not as good as Ye Shu and Yan Changlan, he made breakthroughs one after another. Now he is at the fifth level of foundation building, six years apart. Forming elixirs again is only a small level difference and a big level breakthrough level.
But he still felt that it was not enough, and he practiced hard every day. In his heart, he had already regarded the sect where the powerful Nascent Soul belonged to as an enemy. He secretly thought that he would keep a close eye on that sect in the future, assuming that its disciples had never done evil. Well, once he does evil, it will be turned into material for his cultivation!
This time, Lu Zheng suddenly appeared on the official road outside Xuanming Mansion because he accidentally heard that a long-lost disciple of Tianjian Sect had returned to the sect after surviving a catastrophe. He briefly compared it and found out that it was Senior Brother Yan whom he was extremely worried about. He was immediately overjoyed, hurriedly put down everything else, and hurried towards Xuanming Mansion.
When he arrived at the official road outside the Xuanming Mansion, he saw ruthless bandits committing murder. Lu Zheng naturally medied his own business as usual, and rescued the people from the caravan, and then absorbed the blood of the ruthless bandits for training. When he walked out of the blood mist, the magic power in his dantian became even stronger.
·
Lu Zheng repeatedly confirmed that Yan Changlan and Ye Shu were safe before taking a closer look at the second half.
At this sight, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes fluctuated intensely.
Linglong Dan? It turned out to be Linglong Pill!
Lu Zheng knew his own family affairs. At first glance, his spiritual root was comparable to that of the blood spiritual root, but in fact it was still a piece of cake. As he practiced for a long time, it not only affected his character, but he also became more aware of it. Therefore, After his breakthrough in Tao cultivation, his lifespan at each level was different from that of ordinary monks, and seemed to be much weaker - he had a rough hunch that the lifespan of ordinary monks at the fifth level of foundation building was around 280 years. Today's longevity is probably less than 150 years, almost half of it in a lifetime.
Lu Zheng knew in his heart that this was probably the flaw of this evil method. The Linglong Pill can purify spiritual roots. If he swallows it, he will most likely turn the pickled thing into a real blood spiritual root. At that time, some hidden dangers will be eliminated.
Thinking of this, Lu Zheng's heart surged and he closed his eyes to hide his gratitude.
Once again, he was helped by Senior Brother Yan and Master Ye.
If they hadn't always regarded him as evil and still worried about him, I'm afraid he would have been seduced by his flesh and blood, swayed by the gossip, and turned into an evil person with no bottom line... It would be difficult to be as he is now. Be firm in your character and regard yourself as a monk on the right path. And if they hadn't given him elixirs and treasures to take, his foundation would have been unstable, which would have been very harmful to him.
Now that they had obtained the Linglong Pill, they had not forgotten his useless junior brother. How could he not be grateful?
Lu Zheng held back his emotions and said to the foreign affairs manager: "The letter has been received. If you have anything to do, I will go back and report it. I will tell my younger brother to go prepare some resources and then go to see my senior brother and master."
Hearing this, the Foreign Affairs Steward raised his hand towards him and said, "I don't dare to take this seriously. I have decided to bring you the message and say goodbye."
Lu Zheng was also polite to him and said: "Please."
The foreign affairs manager left quickly, while Lu Zheng swayed and left quickly.
After both of them left, those people in the caravan who were lucky enough to survive slowly exhaled and finally dared to speak.
Someone said with emotion: "It turns out that that person is the Blood Shadow Hunter. That's right. It was rumored that the senior Blood Shadow Hunter took action, which is what happened."
As soon as these words came out, more people who didn't know spoke up one after another: "Blood Shadow Hunter? Captain Lu, you actually know him?"
This sighing person is the captain of one of the experienced teams hired from outside the caravan’s bodyguards. He is now at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Since he has spoken, he must know a lot. Naturally, it aroused inquiries from everyone.
Captain Lu did not show off, and explained directly: "The blood shadow hunter is a member of the evil path. However, it is said that he was born in the righteous path and was a swordsman. He was accidentally killed by someone, so he had to struggle in the evil path and practice martial arts. The Dharma is also changed for some reason. But this senior's character has not changed. Although he must have blood as his material for the sake of the cultivation method, he only attacks those who are treacherous and evil, and never hurts innocent people. If he doesn't go Look at his evil skills, he is more upright than many of the disciples of the great sect."
Everyone suddenly realized: "That's it."
Another person said: "The person who came here with the imperial magic weapon reported his family name and said that he was the external affairs manager of Tianjing Jianfeng of Tianjian Sect. Could it be that the Yan Changlan he mentioned was Yan Changlan, the sword-controller of wind and thunder?"
Caravans often travel between several nearby mansions, and they still know something about some of the disciples in the top sects. Yan Changlan was not well-known at first, but after he disappeared, Feng Lingxi directly knocked on his door, which made people pay more attention to him. After he returned, it was said that Yan Changlan was already a monk who formed the elixir, so he should not be underestimated.
Therefore, since the foreign affairs manager spoke so carefully, they naturally compared it.
Then someone said: "It should be him."
Others are curious: "Does Blood Shadow Hunter have any old friendship with Yan Changlan? He seemed to call him 'senior brother'. Could it be that Blood Shadow Hunter was a sword cultivator of the Tianjian Sect before he fell into evil ways?"
The others were stunned.
"It's not impossible."
"But Yan personally joined the Tianjian Sect halfway, or maybe he was a fellow sect member of his former sect."
"It seems possible..."
"I only heard that Yan personally told me that his past had some twists and turns, but I don't know the details, and it's hard to say at the moment."
"That……"
They were discussing too much when suddenly the surviving senior foundation builder shouted to stop: "Don't talk too much about the matter between Brother Blood Shadow Hunter and Senior Yan. Pack your luggage and we should continue on our way."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone fell silent.
Also, although the seniors are far away, it is better not to always talk about the seniors’ affairs behind their backs.
Next, everyone was busy cleaning up the mess.
The foundation-building senior looked solemn and had a lot of thoughts in his heart... Although not many people knew about it, he had seen the wanted order handed down by Yan himself. The wanted order was issued by the Hu family in Hu Xiaozhou. He had been tempted at that time, but after investigation, he found that the Hu family wanted to eradicate the roots, and the person who wanted to eradicate the roots was one of the powerful Jindan powers from outside. Among those rescued, there was also one person who managed to successfully enter the Tianjian Sect by hitting the golden bell and became the master of the Jingtian Sword Master! In an instant, as if he had been showered with cold water, all his plans were swallowed into his stomach, and he did not dare to mention them again.
Now, he is extremely lucky... Fortunately, he gave up the idea in time, otherwise, the consequences would be really disastrous.
·
The foreign affairs manager quickly brought Lu Zheng's message to Ye Yan and others.
After they left, Ye Shu said, "Junior brother Lu of yours is also thoughtful."
The Foreign Affairs Manager is a meticulous person. He originally thought that he would have to search a few more places to find the Blood Shadow Hunter, but unexpectedly he found out that the Blood Shadow Hunter would come near Xuanming Mansion from time to time, and would also often inquire about Jingtian Jianfeng's location. information. When he saw the blood shadow's reaction when he got the letter again, he felt moved in his heart and reported everything he knew and saw.
Ye Shu has always been keen. After hearing his words, how could he not know that Lu Zheng was always concerned about the whereabouts of the two of them? Naturally, I was a little pleased. Lu Zheng, Ruan Hongyi, and Ge Yuanfeng were all cool people. In this way, the good treatment of his Taoist companion in the past was not let down after all.
Yan Changlan smiled and sighed again: "Junior brother Lu used to be withdrawn. You saw Ah Zhuo at that time. His character is actually not what it is now. His current state of mind is stable. It is because he has been tempered after encountering catastrophes. That's why. Although it is a good thing to have a firm mind, it is something he has been trained and gained through hardships." At this point, he shook his head slightly, "Junior sister Ruan and junior brother Ge are even more like this. They can get rid of their impetuousness and become calm today. It’s very difficult.”
On the other hand, Yan Changlan himself, although he suffered the same suffering as his former classmates, he always had his beloved by his side. Even though he felt a little frustrated, he never felt any pain. Compared to myself, those junior brothers and sisters are really having a hard time.
Ye Shu's expression was gentle and he didn't say much, but he was thinking secretly in his heart: Changlan himself didn't know something, and the suffering he suffered in his previous life, how can these fellow disciples compare to Wan Yi? Even Lu Zheng, who seemed to be on the same path, had Chang Lan as his senior brother to take care of him. But Changlan struggled alone, trudging all the way until he finally got his revenge, had no way to survive, and lost his mind...
In his opinion, Changlan was far superior to Lu Zheng and others.
