Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 334 There is a big eyeball hidden here

Death is not the opposite of life, but exists forever as a part of life.

Zhang Ze didn't remember where he heard this dirty talk, but at this moment he felt somewhat the same way.

He didn't know whether it was because his master was too slow or the illusion changed too quickly, but he didn't wait for his junior sister, but once again sent off one friend after another.

Xiangxiang and Zhang Ze sat side by side on the hillside, looking at the grassland below.

Liu Daozi, who had come in disguise, was sitting on the meadow at the foot of the hill and chatting with his old blue ox.

Old Qingniu was really too old. Although he had enjoyed a peaceful life in Baiyu County for ten years and had been treated with secret methods, he had finally reached the end of his life.

Liu Daozi is also an interesting person. He was good at not letting the old blue ox retire and exploited him every day.

You could say he was pure evil, but since Old Qingniu was nearing the end of his life, he came uninvited as if he had sensed something, to see his old friend off for the last time.

At this moment, Liu Daozi was no longer as sinister and poor as he was when he first met him in Bianjing City. He was wearing a green Taoist robe, and he looked calm and elegant, like an ethereal being.

The old blue ox no longer had the grudge he had before. He leaned against Liu Daozi and chewed the grass quietly.

The man and the ox sat for a long time. Liu Daozi stood up, turned around and bowed deeply to Zhang Ze on the hillside, then walked towards the river bend, while the old blue ox followed him with a staggering gait.

A moment later, they disappeared into the reeds, as if they had never been there.

"What did they just talk about?" Xiangxiang asked softly.

"Maybe they are discussing whether to use oil dip or sesame sauce for hot pot." Zhang Ze answered casually.

Hearing Zhang Ze's nonsense words, Xiangxiang chuckled, lowered her eyes, and fell into memories, as if she was back to the day when she met Zhang Ze in Bianjing City ten years ago.

Has it been ten years?

Xiangxiang was a little dazed for a moment, and she looked up at Zhang Ze's profile.

Ten years have passed, and Zhang Ze's appearance has not changed. He even looks younger due to his improved cultivation.

But she herself couldn't stop time.

Because of his special physique, he is destined to never be able to practice cultivation.

Although I look young now due to proper maintenance, what will happen in the next decade or so?

Whenever she thought of this, it was like a thorn piercing her heart. Seeing a farewell at this moment, Xiangxiang suddenly plucked up the courage. She had something to say to Zhang Ze.

Xiangxiang looked at Zhang Ze, and Zhang Ze knew that she was looking at him.

The situation in the Ten Kingdoms was turbulent. As the leader of a sect and the most powerful person in their faction, Lu Chen rarely had any free time. Although the two of them had a flirtation, they were always apart due to the turbulent situation.

So since Zhang Ze changed his job to become a weapon refiner and stayed in Baiyu County, the person who stayed with him the longest was the girl who was once Xiang Fei and now Xiang Xiang.

Ten years is short and yet long.

There are some things Zhang Ze wants to lie to himself, but he cannot lie to his diary. Whenever he sees his handwriting in the diary, an indescribable emotion will surge in his heart.

[It's sunny today, so Xiangxiang made a pot of chicken and frog stew. As for the taste, I can't really comment on it. I can only say that the chicken legs can be used as hidden weapons.]

[It was cloudy today. Two mixed-blood dragon foals were born. Xiangxiang loved them very much. She picked a white one and named it Chouchou.]

[It was rainy today, and Xiangxiang made another pot of chicken and frog stew. She's a great cook, so it should be delicious, but I didn't get to eat it because Lu Chen snatched it all away. Now the two of them are mad at each other.]

It snowed heavily today. Lu Chen gave me a lamp with only a base, and told me to keep it safe. He also told me that no matter what happened in the future, I should never forget her.

【.】

Zhang Ze felt like he was holding a novel that was destined to have a bad ending. He didn't want to read it, but the book kept turning the pages stubbornly.

"Can I ask you a few favors?"

As the sun sets, Xiangxiang's voice flows into Zhang Ze's ears.

"You tell me, I'll give you one hundred pieces if you want." Zhang Ze replied.

"Not that many, just two things." Xiangxiang said, "First, Sect Master Lu is not here today, so let me lean on your shoulder."

"Yeah." Zhang Ze responded.

Leaning on Zhang Ze's shoulder, Xiangxiang was silent for a long time before continuing.

"The second thing is, after I die, please forget me forever."

Zhang Ze, “.”

Silence flowed between the two of them, and the only sound in Zhang Ze's ears was Xiangxiang's soft breathing.

However, the calm is always short-lived.

Xiangxiang suddenly started crying. Realizing that she was crying, she felt a little flustered and at a loss.

Xiangxiang left Zhang Ze's shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. Please don't look at me. I'm leaving."

After saying that, she stood up and, like a panicked deer, walked down the slope and disappeared into the night along with the sunset.

Zhang Ze wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.

At this point, he already knew why his past self left this diary and why he was so obsessed with studying the Emperor's Flag.
It turned out that he had also been bewitched by the Human Emperor Flag.

"How do those idiots manage to be immortal and heartless, treating everything as dust? That's awesome! Why can't I do that?"

Zhang Ze sat alone on the hillside and talked to himself.

After a long time, the voice of the junior sister sounded behind Zhang Ze.

"Brother, are you crying?"

"I'm not crying. I'm just giving birth to little Pearl." Zhang Ze sniffed.

"Cry if you want, it's okay." The junior sister walked up to Zhang Ze and let him lean on her arms.

"I told you I didn't cry." Zhang Ze said stubbornly.

"Then why are my clothes wet?" asked the junior sister.

"It's raining." Zhang Ze was still being stubborn.

"Be good, pet my fur~ It won't scare you even if it's thundering or raining~" The little sister hugged Zhang Ze and hummed softly.

Zhang Ze, “.”

Listening to the nursery rhymes that the junior sister was singing to comfort the children, Zhang Ze blushed a little, but it was also magical. After leaning in the junior sister's arms for a while, he calmed down a little.

Death is not the opposite of life, but exists forever as a part of life.

Zhang Ze remembered this sentence again.

He stood up, gently pushed his junior sister away, coughed lightly, and changed the subject.

"Has the matter of the Three Sacred Mountains been clarified?"

Seeing that her senior brother had calmed down, the younger sister took his hand and said softly, "We've found out."

"At the Three Sacred Mountains, Taizu fought alone against the Northern Emperor and the Southern King. He caused a tide of beasts to collapse the mountain, causing the stars in the sky to fall. He slew the two kings with his sword. That's what the book says."

"Is this what is written in all the books?" Zhang Ze asked again with some concern.

"Well, there may be some differences in the details, but whether it's the classics left by the Six Sects, the history books of Dongqi, or the legends left by the people, they all say the same thing."

After Chen Qin finished speaking, she fell silent, leaving time for Zhang Ze to think. But looking at her expression, it seemed like she had something to say.

She wanted to ask Zhang Ze how long he would stay in here.

One reason was that she had used up her three chances, and she was afraid that if time in this illusion suddenly slowed down, she would not know how long she would have to wait.

Secondly, the junior sister felt that the Jade Book Tower might not be able to hold on any longer. When she came in this time, she found that the walls of the Jade Book Tower had begun to peel off.

"Brother, how long are you going to stay here? Did I say something wrong?"

The junior sister looked up and found that Zhang Ze had a frown on his face and was keeping his lips pursed and silent.

This seemed to be the first time she saw Zhang Ze so serious.

Hearing the question from the junior sister, Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, then he returned to his normal appearance. He pinched Chen Qin's little face and said, "I won't stay any longer. I'll leave right away. But before I go out, I have to do something first."

"What's the matter?" Chen Qin asked.

"Go take out the trash. This illusion is my dream, but now there is a dirty thing in my dream. I have to get it out."

"By the way, when you get out, do me another favor..."

The residence of Zhang Ze in Baiyu County.

Mee Mee was sitting on the kang, the candlelight flickering, she was sharpening a knife and humming a little tune.

As a hidden spy, half dirty, she gave herself a day off today.

Don’t steal the diary, don’t go crazy and bother Zhang Ze, just be a ghost doll quietly sharpening a knife.

But she didn't intend to bother Zhang Ze, but Zhang Ze intended to bother her. Zhang Ze pushed the door open and walked in, sitting next to her, holding the little fairy's head with one hand.

After discussing for a while, Zhang Ze said softly, "Now it's just you and me here, so some things should have a conclusion."

When MeeMee heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

'You found me?'

"No, I've been pretty honest these past few days..."

Mee Mee decided to wait and see. She hummed, said nothing, and continued to sharpen the knife.

"There is a bad guy around me. He hid very well and I didn't discover his tracks until recently." Zhang Ze was still playing with the little fairy's head.

"What horse feet? Horse...are horse feet delicious?" Mee Mee pretended to be stupid.

"Of course it's delicious. Not only delicious, but also fun." Zhang Ze lifted up the little earth fairy. "But that's not important. What's important is that I already know who he is."

"Who... who?"

When Mee Mee heard this, she prepared to escape with all her might, ready to break out of the little earth fairy's body and get away at any time.

"Not now. I'll tell you when we get to the place, and then I'll take you with me." After saying that, Zhang Ze picked up the little earth fairy and held her in his arms.

Meow, "..."

"It's all over."

"Does a mutual destruction need to be ritualistic?"

Mee Mee, who had something to hide, felt that the truth had been revealed, so she made a quick decision and immediately started her escape plan.

However, Meeme sadly discovered that, whether because she had stayed in the body of this little earth fairy for too long or for some other reason, she was temporarily trapped in this body.

She was stuck, or rather, the little earth fairy was pulling her and not letting her go.

"Shh, be quiet." Zhang Ze made a quiet gesture to Meeme, who was struggling with the cricket pupa in his arms.

Meow, "..."

She sighed in her heart, thinking that Zhang Ze had got some method of sucking out souls from outside, and was planning to find a place with suitable feng shui to kill her.

"Alas, goodbye, my world. I hope I can still be a good bae-mee in my next life."

Zhang Ze, with the disheartened Meeme, braved the night, walked on the clouds, and arrived at the top of a mountain at dawn.

This mountain is not high. There are two half-collapsed peaks next to the main peak. The surroundings are extremely desolate and rocky, as if a great battle with a landslide occurred here a few years ago.

Mee Mee looked at the desolate scenery and thought that this would be a great place to execute himself.

She sighed deeply, curled up in Zhang Ze's arms for a while, and said, "Put me down."

Zhang Ze let go, and Meeme, who was wearing the Little Earth Fairy leather suit, fell to the ground with a plop. She looked back at Zhang Ze, then walked to the edge of the cliff and knelt down.

She felt the wind on the top of the mountain, sighed deeply, and looked like she was ready to die heroically.

"Let's get started, let's do it." Mee Mee snorted coldly.

Zhang Ze, "?"

"Why are you hitting me? What are you going to do?" Zhang Ze stepped forward and picked up the little earth fairy.

"Haven't you found the bad guy around you? Now that you've found him, give him a quick death." Mee Mee's voice was cold and hard.

"Oh, you're wrong. The bad guy I'm talking about is not you. I don't even treat you as a human being. You are my toy." Zhang Ze said seriously.

Meow Meow, "Hmm? Then who is the bad guy you are talking about?"

"What I'm saying is... Oh, no, are you doing something bad behind my back again?"

Zhang Ze was about to explain, but suddenly came to his senses and looked suspiciously at Mee Mee who was wearing the Little Earth Fairy suit.

MeeMee was silent for a moment, feeling that she was a moron for self-destructing.

But even the mentally retarded have their spring, and maybe they can get away with it one more time.

She pulled out a small wooden knife from her overalls and stabbed it at Zhang Ze's wrist, "I'm going to stab you to death, I'm going to stab you to death!"

Zhang Ze, "Stop, don't do it. Whether you threw cockroaches into my bed again or did something else bad, let's talk about it later. Do me a favor first."

Meow, "What...what help?"

Zhang Ze, "Don't ask, it has to be you."

Baa, "?"

The two waited for a long time, until the sun set, Zhang Ze saw a flash of golden light in the sky. A moment later, Xiao Qingyun landed on the top of the mountain in a flying boat.

"Brother Zhang, why did you call me here?" Xiao Qingyun asked.

"Last night, I was bored and wanted to make a flying sword for myself out of meteorite iron, but I was a little short on money and didn't want to use supplies from the treasury. When I was at a loss for ideas, I happened to remember Brother Xiao's heroic deeds of fighting two kings alone.

"Perhaps, there are still some meteorites in the Three Sacred Mountains that have not been picked up by anyone. Brother Xiao, as someone who has experienced it firsthand, why don't you accompany me to look for them and give me some pointers?"

Zhang Ze said with his back to Xiao Qingyun, looking at the valley bottom at the foot of the mountain.

Xiao Qingyun looked at Zhang Ze's back and chuckled. His mind was full of thoughts as he pondered the meaning of Zhang Ze's words. After a moment, he realized that he had seen through Zhang Ze's thoughts. He made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Ze.

"It's too low here. It would be better if Brother Zhang and I could ride on this flying boat together so that we can see clearly from a high vantage point." Xiao Qingyun said loudly.

After getting on the flying boat, Xiao Qingyun took Zhang Ze for a walk around the Three Gods Mountains. However, he did not help Zhang Ze look for the meteorite iron. Instead, he talked to Zhang Ze about the battle situation of the day, but every word he said was full of imperial rhetoric.

It's so intricate that it's hard to follow and makes people feel sick when listening to it.

It was already night. Zhang Ze looked at Xiao Qingyun's back under the starry sky with only disappointment in his eyes. But he finally asked, "Brother Xiao, won't you help me find the meteorite iron?"

"There's no rush... Hmm... I remember there's a canyon in the southwest. It's full of mineral veins, but there are ferocious beasts lurking in the valley. When the world is at peace, I'll go with Brother Zhang. After we eliminate the ferocious beasts in the valley, I'll give you all the meteorite iron and refined gold."

Looking at Xiao Qingyun who was painting a rosy picture for him, Zhang Ze sighed, then patted the confused little earth fairy in his arms, signaling him to get ready.

Meow Meow doesn't understand. What are we preparing for? They say we're going to have our heads chopped off, but there aren't any enemies...

Before she could think about it, her calf was grabbed by Zhang Ze.

The next moment, the world was spinning.

Meow Meow realized what Zhang Ze was going to do and started cursing, "Ah! Ah! Ah! Zhang Ze! Fuck you! Come on!"

She should have thought that this little earth fairy was just a weapon in Zhang Ze's eyes.

Because Zhang Ze's movements were too fast, Meimee's voice was a little late. It was not until Zhang Ze withdrew that Meimee, with blood all over his head, cried out.

The blood is Xiao Qingyun's blood.

After ten years in Baiyu County, Zhang Ze had already been fed by Lu Chen and became a Nascent Soul Patriarch. Now, opening the golden elixir gourd at close range was as easy as taking something out of a bag.

As Xiao Qingyun's body fell, the uncontrolled flying boat fell to the earth like a meteorite. At the same time, the night sky began to freeze, and the starry sky began to collapse like a program error, like a curtain falling.

The earth, birds, beasts, plants, and one by one the friends in Zhang Ze's memory turned into points of light and disappeared along with the starry sky.

Because of Xiao Qingyun's "death", the illusion was shattered.

If this illusion is a program, then Xiao Qingyun's founding emperor is a very critical dll file.

Now that this file has been deleted by Zhang Ze, the program will naturally crash.

Zhang Ze stood in the dark space. In the distance, fragments and silhouettes of various buildings were floating. Between those buildings were faceless shadows.

The only ones that still retained a fixed form were his, Xiao Dixian'er, and Xiao Qingyun's corpse.

"Get out of my friend's body." Zhang Ze said in a deep voice, looking at the 'corpse' lying on the ground.

Although Zhang Ze was talking to Xiao Qingyun's corpse, Mee Mee trembled a little, but she quickly calmed down and felt that Zhang Ze was not pointing at her.

"Is Little Earth Fairy his friend? ... Probably not. Little Earth Fairy is a toy, so he's not targeting me."

After figuring it out, Meeme calmed down and continued watching the show.

After a while, Xiao Qingyun's "corpse" moved, and a black shadow emerged from the corpse.

The shadow had long limbs and no face, but soon, a huge stone eyeball emerged from the shadow's face, and it turned its head to look at Zhang Ze.

"How did you discover me? I think I acted very well..."

The stone eyeballs have no color, only a sense of alienation that is different from that of humans.

Although the shadow didn't look at Mee Mee, she still trembled. She quickly hugged Zhang Ze's calf and hid behind Zhang Ze.

"What is this thing?" Meow Meow asked in a low voice.

"Xiao Jing." Zhang Ze replied.

"Xiao Jing? Who is Xiao Jing?" Meeme felt that the name sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.

"It's the damn last emperor of Dongqi." Zhang Ze answered softly.
