Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 253: Lao Deng is always one step behind me

Zhang Ze was lucky. The middle-aged monk was called Lin Wei. He was a local and had been hanging around here forty years ago.

He also knew about the outdated information from forty years ago.

After buying all the goods on Lin Wei's stall at the regular price, Zhang Ze was taken to a tavern by Lin Wei.

The tavern in this nameless town is also interesting. Because it is so poor, the food and drinks sold there are different from those in other places.

The standard set meal of this small shop includes a plate of wind-bell groundworm meat dried in the sun, a plate of dry fragrant fasting pills, and a pot of local wind-bell wine.

"I was quite young at that time, and my father was still alive. I wanted to go out and try my luck, but I didn't know where to go. When the ghost town appeared, I started to think about it." Lin Wei said as he ate dried meat and drank wine.

"The ghost town that appeared in Fengling City is not a mirage, it is a real ghost town. Not only me, but many elderly people in this town have seen it with their own eyes."

"However, no one could enter the ghost town, not even the people sent by the Tian Sect. I had no hope at all. However, when the ghost town disappeared and the treasure hunters dispersed, I met the leader of the Muyu Sect by chance."

"I shamelessly begged them to join the Muyu Sect, but I guess my qualifications were too poor, so they didn't want me at all."

"But the old master is good. Although he didn't want me, he still brought me to Lingzhou and taught me some things."

"Later, I ended up living in Lingzhou and also visited neighboring prefectures and counties. But I guess it was because my aptitude was really not good enough. After so many years, I didn't save any spirit stones, and my cultivation level didn't improve much. I got up early and went to bed late every day, and ended up with a lot of illnesses."

"About twenty years ago, I returned to this town and discovered that my father had already passed away. Suddenly, I felt like life was meaningless." Lin Wei took a sip of his wine and continued, "Then I decided not to leave."

"I've figured it out. This four continents is just a larger, run-down town. It doesn't make much difference where I live. It's better to die at home than outside. Sorry, I said too much."

Lin Wei took another sip of wine and apologized.

"Let's get down to business. I have something to ask of you, Senior. I can see that you are not an ordinary person, but you are not one of those wooden people from the Tianzong Sect either. You definitely didn't come here for those broken stones and broken wooden fish."

"Are you here for that ghost town?" Lin Wei whispered.

"Yes."

Lin Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Zhang Ze admit it. He thought for a moment and then said a number, "Give me these spirit stones, and I will tell you how to enter the ghost town."

"Payment first, then goods?" Zhang Ze asked.

Lin Wei shook his head. "Goods first, payment later."

"Aren't you afraid that I won't recognize you?" Zhang Ze looked at the middle-aged man who had returned to his hometown and was lying down with interest.

"You are from the Beast Taming Sect. I trust you. If I hadn't met you, I would have gone to the Heavenly Sect for help in a few days."

Just now in the market, Lin Wei tried to pull Zhang Ze's sleeve, but Zhang Ze pushed him away. The method Zhang Ze used was the method of the Beast Taming Sect.

"Have you ever been hit by this trick before?"

Lin Wei smiled awkwardly, "Senior, you have a very good eye. So you agree?"

But Zhang Ze shook his head, "What are you going to buy with these spirit stones?"

"Buy my life." Lin Wei drank the wine in the pot, then tore open his shirt. There was an old scar on his chest, which was now festering again.

"No one wants to die, and neither do I. This injury was sustained in my early years, and for some reason it recurred a while ago. I've seen someone, and they say I won't live long if I don't get treatment. I want to go out and see a doctor."

Zhang Ze, disguised as an old man, recalled the image of his elders. After going through the images of Yao Lao and Hua Tuo, he stretched out two fingers and tapped on one of Lin Wei's pulse points.

"When did it start?" Zhang Ze entered the traditional Chinese medicine mode.

"Last winter."

Lin Wei gave an approximate date, and Zhang Ze calculated that it was almost the same time when the Muyu Sect disappeared.

Zhang Ze passed a trace of spiritual energy into Lin Wei's body, which then went around and then came out.

"Aren't you from the Beast Taming Sect? How come you can also treat illnesses?" Lin Wei asked in surprise as he felt the warmth in his body.

"Veterinarian, same thing."

Lin Wei, "."

Zhang Ze didn't actually lie. After A-li was full, he was the one who rubbed her belly because A-li said that other people's rubbing was useless, so he had to do it.

To round it off, I should also be considered a veterinarian.

Moreover, Zhang Ze had actually read the "Barefoot Medical Master's Guide to Practicing Medicine" published by Yaowang Valley, but he had never actually put it into practice.

He injected spiritual energy into Lin Wei's body again. After two small cycles, Zhang Ze discovered where the problem was. It was not on the wound, but on his hand.

A black line started from the ring on his hand, spread along his arm to his chest, and then invaded the old wound like a fly seeing a rotten egg.

"Dampness. Ahem, I mean too much Yin energy. Are you carrying something with you all the time?"

After temporarily sharing his senses with Lin Wei, Zhang Ze withdrew his finger and looked at Lin Wei's ring.

When Lin Wei saw the black line, his face changed slightly, as if he was having a psychological struggle, but in the end he took out the thing from the ring.

"Could it be this?"

A magnifying glass-like thing.

The wooden handle is carved with simple cloud patterns, and a lens made of unknown black crystal is embedded in the top of the wooden handle.

The black crystal is so black that it is not transparent at all.

"What is this?" Zhang Ze asked.

"I don't know. It was given to me by the leader of the Muyu Sect. I've been carrying it with me until recently."

"Recently?" Zhang Ze took the strange magic weapon and looked at it.

"That's right, you can use this thing to see the ghost town in Fengling City." Lin Wei finally revealed his secret.

Just a few days ago, when he was standing on a high platform enjoying the breeze, he took out this thing and looked towards the direction of Fengling City. An image appeared in the black lens.

The ghost town that disappeared for forty years reappeared.

"This thing is yours. First the goods, then the payment. I hope you will keep your promise."

Zhang Ze looked at Lin Wei and thought that this guy was quite interesting. He spoke in a very slick way, but in a way that was not annoying.

"The root of this disease lies in this magic weapon. Without it, it won't be a big deal. I can help you heal it now."

Zhang Ze did not take out the spirit stone, but took out a medicine box from his treasure bag.

These goods are also from Yaowang Valley.

【A fool can use the first aid kit】

When I opened the box, there were only five compartments inside, each with a label with some small words written on it.

[Eat this for internal injuries, it won’t kill you, so eat as much as you want]

【Take this for external injuries, up to three tablets】

Zhang Ze took out a pill for internal injuries and a pill for external injuries and handed them to Lin Wei, "Eat it, you'll be fine after this afternoon."

After Lin Wei took the pill, Zhang Ze said to him, "I think you talk quite interestingly. Why don't you go find a job in that shop run by the demon tribe? It's much better than setting up shop here." Lin Wei smiled awkwardly. "Don't worry, senior, you'll laugh at me. I haven't seen the demon tribe before, so I don't know if they are as good as the rumors say."

The location here is too remote, and the demons who love bustles basically don't come here.

The demon race here is not much different from the legends.

The receiving station of the Zhendong Trading Company was only opened a few days ago. The local residents are not familiar with the demon race and are even afraid to do business with them.

Lin Wei had been out there before, but maybe it was just bad luck, as he had never seen a demon cultivator before.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Zhang Ze said with a smile.

"But that demon cultivator seemed unhappy all day long, with a sullen face and looked displeased at everyone." Lin Wei recalled the appearance of the demon cultivator.

Zhang Zexin said that it was no wonder that the brother was unhappy. Coming to this place was basically like being exiled for who knows how many thousands of miles. It would be a miracle if he could be happy.

I don’t know which leader of Zhendong Trading Company tricked me into coming here with promises of promotion and salary increase.

"It's really nothing. The demons are all funny. He's just unhappy because no one is chatting with him. You'll know when you go there."

Zhang Ze, who has experienced this, said.

On the outskirts of Fengling City, yellow sand has replaced the soil, and the nameless town behind them has disappeared. Zhang Ze and his junior sister rode on the wind boat towards the heart of Fengling City.

Lin Wei was not kidding, that strange magic weapon could indeed see the ghost town.

Put the black lens in front of your eyes and you can see the illusory city.

In the black lens, the city seemed to have entered a certain cycle, repeating over and over again, from prosperity to destruction.

"This secret realm is probably related to some kind of spatial law. It might be a man-made secret realm. Brother, should we be careful?"

"Okay, let's be careful!" Before Zhang Ze finished speaking, he jumped up from the Fengxing Boat, turned into a golden light and fled into the distance, then slashed with a sword.

The place where he was just now was now covered by a black poisonous fog. A giant insect rushed out of the poisonous fog and hit the sword light that Zhang Ze had slashed out.

Chen Qin also attacked at the same time, but he did not attack the groundworm, but attacked the surroundings.

There is more than one earthworm.

These earthworms are extremely powerful. Inside their open round mouths are three small mouths that spray out poisonous smoke.

It looked 80% similar to some kind of death worm.

As for the two points that are not similar
The bodies of these hanging insects are not smooth, but are densely covered with protruding fleshy granulations.

Disgusting batch.

However, although these earthworms are numerous and look disgusting, not many of them can withstand the sword of Zhang Ze and Chen Qin.

After killing dozens of earthworms, Zhang Ze discovered something wrong. These earthworms were not trying to hunt the two of them, they were running away.

Seeing this, Zhang Ze subconsciously took out the black lens and looked towards the direction where the earthworms were fleeing.

The ghost town that was just far away is now approaching, and the brick and tile walls with strange colors are clearly visible in the black lens.

Then the black lens in Zhang Ze's hand flashed, and he was sucked into it.

At the moment of disappearance, a sword energy that shattered the void slashed over, and Chen Qianhu's figure appeared where Zhang Ze disappeared.

The sand and everything around the insects were cleared away in an instant, but Zhang Ze and the ghost town seemed to not exist in this world.

However, Lao Deng was always a step slow.

Without breaking into the secret realm, the ghost town disappeared right under his nose.

Captain Chen was quite conflicted. He wanted to beat him up when he hadn't seen him, but he became worried when he saw that he was gone from his sight.

"Father, I..." Chen Qin took off his disguise and came to Chen Qianhu, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Where did that lens come from?" Captain Chen asked his daughter.

"He's a businessman from that town."

"Let's go back first."

In town.

Lin Wei listened to the advice. After taking the medicine, he went to the demon tribe's collection office. The demon tribe was indeed easy to talk to as Zhang Ze said.

Now the two of them are almost sworn brothers.

However, good times are always short-lived, and soon a majesty that Lin Wei could not even imagine descended upon him.

Then it was transferred to another place.

The demon didn't react, "Where's the person? Where did he drink?"

Just as the demon was lying on the ground, digging through the cracks in the rocks to look for Lin Wei, Lin Wei came back.

Lin Wei's hands were shaking, and he felt that he was really awesome today.

Not only did he meet a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect who majored in veterinary medicine, but he was also captured and interrogated by a big boss of unknown heights.

Those few seconds seemed as long as a lifetime to him. He even confessed the incident of peeping at the sister next door taking a bath when he was a child.

Fortunately, I really didn't know anything and didn't intend to do anything bad. It was all just a misunderstanding.

"Hey, where have you been drinking? Have a drink, keep drinking."

"Okay." Lin Wei's hands were still shaking.

In the desert of Fengling City, the three members of the Chen family stared at the endless yellow sand.

The sect leader felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have lifted the boy's house arrest order. He was really prone to causing trouble.

If it had happened before, it would have been fine. I would have been worried, but it wouldn't have been to this extent.

But the problem now is that this little bastard Zhang Ze has taken away his daughter. What should his daughter do if anything happens to this little bastard?

Especially since this kid was trapped in this most troublesome secret realm. He had innate luck and needed a master to cast a spell to refine it. Even he had no good solution for the time being.

The prerequisite for being able to cut it open is to know where the thing is.

Finding a secret place that appears and disappears from time to time is much more difficult than catching Zhang Ze.

However, the first one in the family of three to calm down was Chen Qin.

"Brother, it's okay!"

After saying that, Chen Qin took out a round golden elixir from his sleeve.

"A few days ago, I borrowed my senior brother's golden elixir to play with. Look, it's not broken and it's still warm, which means my senior brother is fine!"

The couple fell silent at the same time.

Is the Golden Elixir for fun?
