Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 199 Brother Zhang will come to save me

The dragon's roar gradually faded away, and Li Jue and others stood up cautiously.

They looked at each other, and besides fear, there was also confusion in their eyes.

The dragon seemed to be patrolling the secret realm earlier than before.

Previously, it only took four days for the dragon to patrol the secret realm, but this time, it was only three days since the last time.

I don’t know how long it will take for the next time.

"Senior Brother." Tao Qing was a little scared at this time. This was her first time to go out on a sect mission, and she didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

After they arrived at Wolongze, this moderately difficult mission encountered an accident.

Inexplicably, there are more monsters near Wolong Lake than ever before.

These monsters, which should have fought to the death when they met, actually lived peacefully near Wolongze.

Li Jue and others tried several times and found that these monsters were very strange. Not only did they not fight with each other, but they also only moved within a certain range.

They will never leave the five-mile radius of Wolong Lake or step into the territory of other monsters.

Out of curiosity, Li Jue and others did not return to the sect to give up the mission, but decided to take a risk.

Li Jue first asked Bai Xiao to determine the location of the monster eggs, and then asked Bai Xiao to transform into a bomber and throw out half of the one hundred and eighty thousand-machine mines he carried with him.

After the monsters fell into chaos, Li Jue and others rode on giant elephants and rushed in directly. However, when they took the monster eggs and were about to escape, something strange happened.

A vortex appeared in the center of Wolong Lake.

As the dragon roared, a huge suction force sucked Li Jue and others, the monsters, and even the white owl in the sky into it.

When he opened his eyes again, Li Jue discovered that there really was a remote place under Wolong Lake, which had been unknown to anyone for thousands of years.

The secret realm is a world of its own, with mountains, rivers, forests, birds and beasts, but no one knows where the boundary is.

In the east, a giant dragon was cruising aimlessly over an ancient forest.

All the monsters that were sucked in became the dragon's bait.

Fortunately, Li Jue and his companions reacted quickly enough and put their spirit beasts into their respective beast-controlling rings for protection.

All the usual methods of communication were ineffective, except for Little Walnut.

Just at this time, Zhang Ze contacted me.

Li Jue saw three words displayed on the small walnut.

【What are you doing】

Li Jue only had time to reply with three words, and he didn't even remember whether he sent it or not.

[Wolongze]

It’s not that he didn’t want to reply, but the eyeless dragon noticed a few people. Before Li Jue could see what was going on, he flew out and the little walnut fell out of his hand.

If it weren't for the high-level magic weapon protecting him, he would have been killed by that blow just now.

Then they fled in panic.

While escaping, they discovered that this blind dragon was only interested in things that moved, and they could be safe temporarily by just squatting down and holding their breath.

Using this method, several people found this cave and temporarily stayed there, and have stayed there until now.

In this process, they also summed up some rules.

One reason is that the eyeless dragon is only interested in these alien creatures, and has no interest in the birds and beasts that already exist in the secret realm.

The second point is that the dragon patrols the secret realm once every four days, and usually stays above the ancient forest to rest.

Now that the blind dragon's behavior patterns have changed, Li Jue and others don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

In addition, as time went by, the cultivation of several people gradually declined, and the uneasy feeling of losing power was more frightening than the blind dragon floating above the ancient forest.

Fortunately, some of the thousands of magical instruments they carried with them could be activated without even requiring any cultivation, which gave them some comfort that they were winning more than nothing.

"Don't be afraid." Li Jue comforted Tao Qing.

“Even if we can’t find Little Walnut, there is still a way to leave here.

"We were sucked in by the dragon. When it breathes again, this secret realm will surely reopen and we can escape."

"And I've already sent a message to Brother Zhang. Brother Zhang is incredibly sharp. Even though it's just text, I think he'll be able to figure out the clues even if he only reads three words."

"It can definitely be analyzed that I am in danger."

"He has probably brought people here and is currently thinking of a way to break the formation and slay the dragon in Wolongze."

"It's fine."

Li Jue wasn't sure if he had really sent the message, but he could only comfort Tao Qing in this way.

After saying that, he squatted down and pulled Tao Qing to continue organizing the Qianji magic weapon.

Outside Guanlong Mountain, there is a small town called Shenglong.

Brother Zhang, who Li Jue had high hopes for, was sitting in the teahouse listening to storytelling and drinking tea.

On the stage, the gentleman was talking excitedly, half sitting on the table, dancing and performing some tricks.

At this time, the gentleman held a folding fan across his neck and was telling the story of an ancient hero who killed a dragon with a night battle using the Eight-Direction Hidden Knife style.

"Unexpectedly, the hero's blade was so sharp that he killed himself before he could kill the dragon."

The gentleman who was talking about Cha Pi immediately realized that something was wrong.

But once the words were out, there was no way to go back on them, so I had no choice but to continue talking.

"But this was all part of the hero's plan. The headless man instantly reincarnated as the Great King of the Wilderness, the emperor of the human race. His cultivation skyrocketed, and he became invincible."

"He took advantage of the demon dragon's moment of distraction, let out a furious roar, and with a sharp, resounding sound, he swung his sword, chopping off the dragon's head in an instant and placing it on his own head."

Zhang Ze sat below, listening to the gentleman on the stage talking nonsense while chatting with Li Jue's sister using Little Walnut.

[Zhang Ze: I just contacted Li Jue, but your brother didn't reply. Is something wrong?]

Li Yueqi: It's okay, don't worry about him. He's usually mysterious, so it's normal for him to not respond to calls. It was his own idea to go undercover as a Hundred Demon Sect agent in your area, and he didn't tell anyone.

【Zhang Ze: Aren't you worried about him?】

[Li Yueqi: What could possibly happen to him in the Cangshan area? It's not like a dragon will suddenly appear and eat him.]

【Zhang Ze: That’s right.】

Li Yueqi: Okay, wait for me for a day, and tomorrow we'll go to Wolong Lake together.

【Zhang Ze: All right.】

Fengzhou, in a monastic market.

Li Yueqi watched the video Zhang Ze sent him.

Looking at the row of golden elixirs that were changing colors, I was inexplicably speechless.

"Outrageous."

After putting away the small walnut, Li Yueqi boarded the flying boat back to Cangshan.

Thang Long City.

Zhang Ze left the teahouse and planned to go for a walk on the street first.

Find out some information and buy some useful things. When Li Yueqi arrives, go find Li Jue together.

Zhang Ze, who came to Cangshan for the first time, felt that this place was very magical.

There are many Canglong cypresses in the city and on the mountains outside the city. Because they never fall all year round, Thang Long City and Guanlong Mountain are green all year round.

And it’s just like how most monks under the Sword Sect’s jurisdiction use swords.

The cultivators under the jurisdiction of the Beast Taming Sect mostly practice body cultivation, and pet beasts can be seen everywhere in Shenglong City.

Therefore, it was not strange for A'li to sit on Zhang Ze's shoulders. On the contrary, there were only a few cultivators who did not have pets around them.

Even mortals who don't practice cultivation will keep a few local dogs and kittens as companions.

And some people who play very perverted games seem to have found a sense of belonging here.

Zhang Ze saw two demon girls shopping together. They each wore a small and cute collar around their necks, and the collar ropes were held in each other's hands.

"Sexual fetishes and play are free, especially for the demon race."

Looking at the two people's receding backs, Zhang Ze could only explain it to himself this way.

Because of these regional characteristics, people who do business here have some strange requirements.

For example, there is an inn opposite the teahouse, and there is a sign in front of the store.

[This shop is a small business with a small backyard. If you are traveling with elephants, rhinos, tigers, or other monsters, spirit beasts, or demonic beasts, please stay elsewhere.]

[There's really no place to put it, and the boss lady is scared]

And so on.

Zhang Ze came to a shop selling magical instruments. In addition to ordinary magical instruments, the shop also had many exquisitely carved magical balls and silver rings that could be worn on the wrists.

According to the boss, this thing was imported from the Beast Taming Sect and can be used to temporarily store pets.

If your companions are giant monsters, you can temporarily take them in and carry them with you.

As soon as he entered the store, A Li pulled Zhang Ze's hair and told him to leave quickly.

Ali said it was allergic to these things.

In addition to these shops related to monsters, there are also quite a lot of elements related to dragons. Zhang Ze walked into a medicine shop and stared at the three-meter-tall, crystal-made medicine jar in the hall for a long time.

Some of the red wine contained various medicinal herbs, and between the herbs was a long, dry object.

There was a piece of red paper taped to the jar, with two words written on it.

【Dragon】

The young man with a shabby face behind the counter perked up when he saw Zhang Ze, a stranger.

"Fellow Daoist, you have a good eye. Let me tell you... If you don't want to buy this, buy something else! We have some excellent healing pills here."

Without waiting for him to finish his words, Zhang Ze turned around and left the black shop with A Li.

There are really a lot of weird shops like this.

No wonder Lin Feng was tricked into buying those junky things.

As we walked deeper into the alley, there were fewer and fewer people.

It was not until he walked under a huge Canglong cypress that Zhang Ze was stopped.

"Please stay, young master."

The man was sitting behind a fortune-telling stall. He had no cultivation and his face looked different from that of an ordinary person, with long eyebrows and a wide mouth. He looked old despite being young, and his voice sounded gloomy.

The stall is also different from the ordinary fortune tellers' equipment.

It is not a small table that is light and foldable and easy to use on the go.

The table in front of the man was heavy and thick, with a greasy surface, as if it had just been stolen from a butcher's shop.

He was wearing an ill-fitting gray coat and leaning against a low wall. A small banner was draped over his shoulder with only one word "life" written on it.

The objects on the table were also different from those in other houses. There were no maps, coins, or hanging signs. Only an ancient tortoise shell was placed in the middle.

When the fortune teller saw Zhang Ze stop and look back, he started to talk nonsense.

"Young Master, are you from far away?

Young people travel far away and do not know the taste of spring and autumn. They know the way when they come, but forget their hometown when they return.

If I am not mistaken, the young man must have come to this foreign land because of a broken heart.

There is a good saying that true love in this world is like a storm, it is both love and hurt.

Medicine and stones can heal the pain in your body, but they cannot heal the hole in your heart.

But there is a good medicine that can cure this disease, his name is Wangchuan.

"Young Master has arrived at the perfect time. The chill of spring is both a desperate situation and a new beginning. This season is just the right time for medicine."

After saying that, the fortune teller took out a dirty little medicine bag, looking like he was waiting for someone to take the bait.

Zhang Ze was stunned by the man's little words. He didn't expect that there were such talents in Shenglong City. This guy opened and closed his big mouth as if he was going to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

Zhang Ze was also free, so he leaned over to the fortune-telling stall and started chatting with the gentleman.

"Sir, you are wrong. The road of life is full of scenery. How can you forget your hometown when you know the way?

Wherever my heart is at peace is my hometown, and someone I just met once can become an old friend.

Moreover, life is like a bamboo, climbing higher and higher. Instead of taking medicine to forget worries, it is better to go to a high place and look at the scenery in the distance.

When the breeze blows, all worries disappear.

And I am not trapped in love. I just came to Shenglong City to find someone.

You have miscalculated, sir."

Although Zhang Ze had exposed his rhetoric, the fortune teller didn't blush at all.

He held up his tortoise shell as if nothing had happened.

"I am not very good at learning, but I only see that the young master has some obsession."

"However, fortune-telling is also our family's business. Who are you looking for, young master? I will tell you a fortune."

Zhang Ze was also curious and wanted to see what method the fake gentleman planned to use to calculate.

Unexpectedly, the man put the turtle shell on the table, then took out a hammer from somewhere, and with a snap, he broke the turtle shell into two halves.

This left Zhang Ze and A Li stunned.

Old Tang had told them about the method of divination using tortoise shells, but neither the man nor the dragon remembered that there was such a method.

Just when Zhang Ze thought he was being scammed and was about to use his fists to reason with him.

But then the fortune teller looked at the tortoise shell and said, "Young Master, are you going to Wolong Lake to look for someone?"

"The marshland stretches for thousands of miles, the forest is deep and strange. Young man, you have come from afar, so you must not know the way."

"What a coincidence! Not only can I tell fortunes, I can also be a guide."

After saying that, he took out a hand-drawn linen map from his arms and started selling it to Zhang Ze.

"Young man, would you like to buy one?" the fortune teller asked eagerly.

Zhang Ze looked at this man speechlessly and found it amusing. He felt that this man was even more shameless than him.

A'li, who was sitting on his shoulder, held a map of Wolongze in her hand.

This fortune teller can speak so confidently in an open-book exam. He is truly a talent.

"May I know your name, sir?" Zhang Ze asked an irrelevant question.

"Next one."

"Then I'll give you a map, Mr. Yimu. Head east from here to Qingjing. There's a Qianji Pavilion in Qingjing, and your eloquence will be of great use there."

"There are many Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain. Perhaps you can learn some real skills there."

After saying that, Zhang Ze placed some silver and money on the greasy table, then turned and walked towards another exit of the alley.

Zhang Ze felt that Shenglong City was too much of a tourist attraction. He would run into a scammer every two steps.

But the fortune teller who claimed to have only one purpose did not know what Zhang Ze was thinking.

He looked at the silver and money on the table and talked to himself.

"If there's a chance in the future, definitely."

night.

Guanlong Mountain and Wolong Lake.

The water surface was calm, and the places bombed by the white owl were now covered with new grass and trees.

The night wind blew through the treetops, and Yimu's figure walked out of the lake. He was still wearing the ill-fitting coat he wore when he met Zhang Ze during the day.

Although he walked out of the lake, his clothes were not wet and there were no ripples on the water surface.

He came to the shore and looked around like a thief. After confirming that there was no one around, he put his hands in front of his mouth. Soon, wood rats and birds gathered from the depths of the woods.

Although they are all ordinary beasts, there is clarity in their eyes.

Under Yi Mu's command, the little beasts divided the work and cooperated with each other to start digging holes by the lake. The fragments of the Thousand Machine Mine were dug out from the soil by these little guys, and the small holes were filled up again.

The wounds on the Canglong cypress trees by the lake caused by the Thousand Machine Mine were also marked by the birds.

Yimu walked over to the trees and touched their trunks. Soon, the wounds healed as before.

After Yimu covered up the traces on the tree, the little beasts also dug out the fragments of the Thousand Machine Thunder.

Looking at the little animals surrounding him, Yimu clapped his hands again. Although he clapped his hands hard, no sound came out.

As he clapped his hands, large fish swam out from the depths of Wolong Lake, came to the shore, and opened their mouths to take the Thousand Machine Mine fragments handed over by the small beasts.

They took turns to carry all the fragments to the depths of Wolong Lake.

At this point, all traces of Li Jue and his team’s visit to Wolongze completely disappeared.

But just as Yimu was patting his coat and adjusting his hair with satisfaction, he suddenly noticed someone coming.

Startled, Yimu immediately ran towards the lake in panic, holding up his coat. In the process of running back to Wolong Lake, he did not stir up even a ripple.

Just as Yimu escaped, Zhang Ze, who was supposed to come here with Li Yueqi tomorrow, appeared by the lake.

The one-eyed man hiding in the lake, although his head is not exposed, the surrounding grass and trees are his eyes.

When he saw that the person coming to the shore was Zhang Ze, his eyes lit up.

There was something extra in his hand, which was Li Jue's little walnut.

"Is it really him?" Yimu muttered to himself.

He then took out two pieces of tortoise shell from his coat, which were the same pieces he had broken during the day.

He placed the three things on the mud and sand at the bottom of the water, and then began to tell fortunes in such an indecent posture with his butt sticking out.

There are two tortoise shells, one belongs to Zhang Ze and the other is his.

The cracks on the tortoise shell form two completely opposite symbols, which are simple and ancient.

Zhang Ze’s represents life.

And his represents death.

After looking at it for a while, he made up his mind and swallowed the tortoise shell that represented death.

The next moment, a vortex appeared in the center of Wolong Lake.
