There was a loud noise, the stone door shattered, and light shone out.
This was just the initial stage of martial arts, but the power was so huge that Zhang Jianlai's eyes were filled with joy.
When we arrived at the entrance of the cave, the wind was blowing, and the cold was blowing against our faces. It was snowing heavily outside, and it was completely white, as if it had entered winter.
Zhang Jianlai smiled softly, feeling happy because of the calmness in his heart, but also worried because of the happiness.
At this moment, is he going back to Yulingzong to settle accounts with Ouyang Chao? Or go to Ziyang Sect to find the whereabouts of his mother? Or go directly to Mount Tai?
He thought for a while, looked at the gloomy sky, stepped out of the cave entrance, and headed down the mountain.
The snow was very thick, and deep and shallow footprints were left behind. The snow was very slippery, and it was a bit difficult to go down the mountain, but his steps still did not stop, and he walked forward slowly but firmly.
After half an hour, when we went down the mountain, the heavy snow suddenly stopped and a scorching sun appeared.
The weather was unpredictable, making Zhang Jianlai feel like he couldn't laugh or cry.
One kilometer ahead is the Yulingzong Villa. The ice and snow are already thinning. The trees, flowers and grass on the side of the eyes, strange peaks and rocks rising from the ground, are scattered at different heights, which is quite strange.
There is a flat road about ten feet wide that leads directly to the villa. However, this is a mountain town in the south. You need to pass through the town to reach Yulingzong.
When Zhang Jianlai came to the town, the heavy snow had completely receded. There were more and more pedestrians on the road, and the sounds of various hawkers could be heard endlessly.
The stalls are full of all kinds of noble animal skins and fine stones used for crafting, which makes people fall in love with them, but they are expensive.
However, these high-attribute animal skins and fine stones are not something that ordinary people can obtain. They can only be obtained by people with high martial arts and cultivation levels after completing dungeons or high-level tasks.
They get these raw materials and sell them on consignment to these stall owners. The stall owners can get a commission of 5% to 20%, and the profits are also very generous.
Animal skins and fine stones can be used to make clothes on the body. The better the materials used, the better the equipment will be.
After wearing it, it can increase the character's attributes, such as strength, physique, wisdom, etc., so as to achieve the ideal requirements.
"Master, I see that you are wearing thin clothes. Would you like some pieces of fine leather and fine stones? If you use them to build them, you will definitely get a fine product."
One of the stall owners smiled at Zhang Jianlai who was passing by.
"How can I sell this hide?"
Zhang Jianlai didn't have any money, but asking about the price was a habit among martial arts practitioners.
"Young master, you have a good eye. This is the spirit snake skin. It has 30% anti-freezing properties. If you wear it, you won't be afraid of what kind of martial arts it is called...?"
"The ice flowers have dispersed." Zhang Jianlai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, Young Master is right, it is the martial arts that makes the ice flowers disperse." The stall owner responded hurriedly with excitement.
"Haha." Zhang Jianlai smiled, turned and left.
The stall owner was stunned and looked at Zhang Jianlai walking away. He rubbed his head and felt that this young man was so strange that he didn't even ask about the price.
In fact, Zhang Jianlai knew that he had no money, so it would be a waste of time to ask further.
"Zhang Jianlai, stop!"
Suddenly, a Yan Li voice sounded from behind. It was a girl's voice. This voice was all too familiar.
Zhang Jianlai turned around, his eyes widened, and he was stunned. Sure enough, it was her, Ouyang Chao's sister - Ouyang Xue.
Ouyang Xue is slightly one year younger than Zhang Jianlai. She is wearing a white dress and has an impeccably handsome face, making her lovable.
But few people can control her princess-like personality.
Zhang Jianlai had been playing with her since they were young. They were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship. They were a very envious and jealous couple in the Yuling Sect.
This originally made Zhang Jianlai happy, but when he thought of Ouyang Chao's vicious attack on him, the smile on his face suddenly stopped.
"Jianlai, you, what's wrong with you? I've been looking for you for more than two months. Are you avoiding me on purpose?"
Ouyang Xue stepped forward and said angrily.
It seemed that she still didn't know what happened to Zhang Jianglai, but what shocked Zhang Jianglai was that he had been in the cave for more than two months, and he didn't know how many things happened outside.
"No, no, I'm fine. Why are you here?"
Zhang Jianlai responded, forcing a smile, but this smile was extremely embarrassing.
Ouyang Xue was not a stupid girl. Of course she could see Zhang Jianlai's initial indifference towards her. In her heart, it was as if he had completely changed.
If they hadn't seen each other for a long time in the past, they would not only hold hands, Zhang Jianlai would also hug her, put her in his arms, and kiss her hair. But at this moment, they didn't.
Although Zhang Jianlai's liking for Ouyang Xue has nothing to do with Ouyang Chao, it is a fact that they are biological siblings after all.
However, until he figures things out, he will not get close to Ouyang Xue, no matter how deep his feelings were.
"You speak, Jian Lai, what's wrong with you?"
Ouyang Xue beat Zhang Jianlai's chest hard and said angrily.
She didn't know what happened to the man in front of her, and he didn't speak or pay attention to her, which made her crazy with anxiety.
"No, it's okay. I'm sorry Xue'er, I was a little distracted just now."
Zhang Jianlai took her into his arms, patted her on the shoulder and said.
This action only lasted for a few seconds, and he was doing it to comfort her soul.
"Brother Jianlai, where are you going? I want to go with you, and we will never be separated again, okay?"
Ouyang Xue was also sincere to him. They had reached the age of discussing marriage, and she didn't want to give up on the man in front of her so easily.
Zhang Jianlai was at a loss for a while. Too many things made him a little confused.
"I want to go to the Yuling Sect and have some things to deal with."
Zhang Jianlai said deeply.
There was something in his words that made Monk Ouyang Xuezhang confused. Yuling Sect was originally their home. What did this mean?
"Okay, brother Jianlai, let's go back together. My brother and master will scold me to death, but with brother Jianlai here, I won't be afraid."
Ouyang Xue is also a quick-tempered person whose mood changes easily.
Zhang Jianlai nodded, seeing that she was still so pure and lovely. Even if he thought his feelings had dried up and he could no longer give, there would always be a moment when something could pluck the strings deep in his heart.
Along the way.
"Brother Jianlai, where have you been lately? Why didn't you say anything to me? I had a hard time looking for you. I was so worried, thinking I would never see you again."
Ouyang Xue was speaking from her heart. She secretly went to the city to find someone for Zhang Jianlai without even telling her relatives.
The Yuling Sect is also a relatively strict sect. Most people are not allowed to leave the sect privately without approval, otherwise they will be severely punished.
It's a pity that Zhang Jianlai didn't understand her good intentions, so he felt a little disappointed for a while.
"I'm sorry Xue'er, it's a bit hard to explain. Everything will be clear when we return to the sect."
It was still inconvenient for Zhang Jianlai to tell her anything before the matter was clarified.
"Well, we will be in Zongli soon. When you see my brother, just say that we can always be together, so as not to be scolded by them again."
Ouyang Xue is still afraid of her brother Ouyang Chao. Ouyang Chao is very strict with her, but he must be her biological brother and there is nothing he can do about him.
Zhang Jianlai smiled. They had returned to this familiar place, the gate of Yuling Sect.
One of the disciples in the sect seemed to have discovered them, turned around and ran back in a hurry. Most likely, he was going back to report.
