Chapter 35 Asking Questions

Zhang Pa was lying on the grass, looking at the sky. The white clouds were like smoke, gathering and dispersing. He always had the urge to fly into the clouds to see what was in them. At this time, footsteps were heard in the distance. Knowing that it was Wang Miao, Zhang Pa slowly stood up and stood facing the direction he came from.

Not long after, Wang Miao appeared in front of him. Seeing Zhang Pa, he shouted: "Luckily, you are here. Your uncle is here."

"Uncle? Who is it?" There are not many other uncles in Tianlei Mountain, but there are too many uncles. Basically, I have never seen them.

Wang Miao counted on his fingers: "Master Zhenyi, Master Zhenhuan, Master Zhenkong, and Master Zhenmu."

Except for Zhenyi, Zhang Pa had never seen the other three. He patted his clothes and asked: "Where are they?"

"With my father, I will take you there." Wang Miao led the way. Zhang Pa followed.

After walking for a while, Wang Miao asked curiously, "Why is Taoist Master Zhenyi at the Qi Refining Stage?"

"Qi Refining Stage?" Without asking, it must be because of the broken golden elixir. Zhang Pa was unwilling to say this, and said lightly, "There must be a reason."

Wang Miao wanted to ask more, but the Yue Shang Market was in front, and his senior brother Wang Yuan was waiting there. Seeing Wang Miao, Wang Yuan said, "Master, take Taoist Master back to the tent to rest, let me wait for you."

Xianyun Valley is located one mile to the right of the market. More than a dozen tents are connected end to end, forming a circle. Wang Miao led Zhang Pa into one of the tents.

From the outside, the tent is not big, but when you enter, you will know that it is a different world, dozens of feet long and wide, and extremely wide. No need to ask, it is a specially refined daily necessities. A huge white tiger skin is laid on the left side of the tent, and a tea table and futon are placed on the tiger skin. Xianyun Valley Deputy Valley Master Wang Hezun and Zhenyi and others are sitting around the tea table. There is a pot of tea and five cups on the tea table, and they are drinking tea.

Zhang Pa stepped forward and bowed to Wang Hezun: "Greetings, Master Wang." He also greeted Zhenyi and others: "Disciple Hongwu greets all the uncles." Then he stepped aside and bowed.

Zhenhuan, Zhenkong, and Zhenmu didn't know him. Seeing Zhang Pa wearing the Taoist robe of Ziguang Pavilion, they were very suspicious. Who is this person? He has already reached the high level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. It should be considered that his cultivation is not low, so they should have some impression of him. The three of them looked at each other and were confused. Could it be? Could it be an imposter? But how to explain the Taoist robe and the name?

The three of them were confused, and Zhenyi was even more confused. He knew Zhang Pa, but he remembered that he was only at the middle level of the Qi Refining Stage. Later, he was seriously injured and recuperated and never saw him again. But how long has it been since then, and he has become the top level of the Foundation Establishment Stage? His mind kept turning, and he couldn't figure it out.

Wang Hezun wanted to laugh when he saw the expressions of Zhenhuan and the other four. Tianlei Mountain is really big, and there are so many talents. They met each other and didn't know each other. Zhenhuan coughed and said, "Hongwu, who is your master?"

"Uncle Master, I haven't become his disciple yet." Zhang Pa replied respectfully.

Not become his disciple yet? Zhenhuan and the other two became more suspicious of Zhang Pa's identity. There are many disciples in Tianlei Mountain, but as long as they enter the foundation-building stage, there will be a master in the Jindan stage who will accept them as disciples and teach them advanced mental methods. Zhang Pa has already reached the advanced stage of foundation-building, how could he not have a master? If the same disciples have never met for decades, it is possible, but the foundation-building disciples have no master, and this has not happened in Tianlei Taoist Temple for nearly a thousand years. The three people's faces turned ugly, and Zhenkong said coldly: "I wonder when Master Hongwu entered the Ziguang Pavilion? How long has he been practicing?"

After a while, Zhenyi recovered and said with a wry smile: "His name is Zhang Pa, and he is the disciple guarding the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave."

Hearing the name Zhang Pa, Zhenhuan and others suddenly realized, Zhenkong pointed at him and said: "He is the one who..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhenyi. After all, family disgrace should not be made public: "Yes, it's him."

Zhenhuan couldn't believe it: "It's not Say... "Zhenyi coughed a few times to stop him from talking, and stood up to talk to Wang Hezun: "Thank you for your hospitality, Daoist Wang. My fellow disciples have something to do, so I'll take my leave. Daoist, if you have time, please come to Tianlei Mountain to play, and let us do our part as hosts."

Wang Hezun stood up and said with a smile: "Of course, of course. Since Daoist, you have something to do, I won't stay any longer, and we'll meet again another day."

After sending Zhenyi and others out of the tent, Wang Hezun showed a playful expression as he watched them walk away. This Zhang Pa was very interesting.

Zhenyi took Zhang Pa to the depths of the grassland, found an empty space where no one was, and stopped. Zhenmu took out a palm-sized tent from his waist, threw it into the air, and then let it fall to the ground. In the short time from leaving his hand to landing, the tent had become the size of a house, slightly different from the style of the tents in Xianyun Valley.

Zhenhuan pinched the magic formula, and a white light flashed from his hand, hitting the air, bursting instantly, causing a wave of air fluctuations, and then returned to its original state. Zhang Pa recognized this technique. He knew how to use the simplest defensive barrier.

Zhenmu lifted the door curtain and walked in first. Zhenyi Zhenzhen Zhenhuan Zhang Pa followed behind. Entering the tent, the furnishings inside were simple, with a table and a few cushions. There was nothing else. It was incomparable to Wang Hezun's tent. Not only was the furnishings simple, but the area was also much smaller. Zhenyi and others each chose a cushion to sit on. Zhang Pa stood respectfully at the door, feeling uneasy. He didn't know what questions the uncles would ask him. If they asked him the reason for the sudden increase in his cultivation, how should he answer?

Zhenyi Taoist was unexpectedly kind, at least Zhang Pa had never seen it before. Zhenyi Taoist threw a cushion over and asked Zhang Pa to sit down and talk. Zhang Pa shrank and took the cushion and sat cross-legged carefully.

Zhenyi smiled and talked to him: "The top level of the foundation building period is really amazing, a whole level higher than my current level. Did the head brother give you an advanced pill?"

Zhang Pa replied respectfully: "No."

"Oh? Then how did you break through? In just a few months, you actually went from the middle level of the Qi Refining Period to the high level of the foundation building period. With such an amazing cultivation speed, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the best in the world." Zhenyi still smiled and talked, but Zhang Pa felt a cold feeling.

He couldn't tell Lin Sen's story, but he didn't want to lie. He hesitated and replied slowly.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhenyi restrained his smile and said coldly: "What? Uncle Master's cultivation is lower than yours, and you can't ask questions?"

Zhang Pa hurriedly said: "No, no, I have always respected Uncle Master."

Zhenyi's expression eased a little: "Tell me about the cultivation method, Uncle Master may be able to learn from it, don't worry, I will never treat you unfairly." After thinking for a while, he said: "First, tell me how you came to Yue Shangji."

Zhang Pa never stopped thinking about this question. Since leaving the Five Spirits Blessed Land, he has been thinking about how to respond to the master's questions. He answered immediately: "When I was guarding the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave, my cultivation was advanced and reached the top stage of the Qi Refining Stage. I was summoned by the head of the sect to the Purple Light Pavilion to concentrate on practicing. When choosing the exercises, I chose to practice the Divine Refining Song; then I asked for leave to go out and go down the mountain to gain experience. Because I didn't know the way, I walked into the forest east of Tianlei Mountain and wandered around in it. I couldn't get out. So I kept walking north, and I unexpectedly came to a cold land. I sensed that there was a powerful existence there. My ability was low and I didn't dare to explore it. After escaping, I went east again, encountered a cliff, and then encountered a waterfall river. I was upset and had no choice but to follow the river. I spent a few months in the mountains. I met a white-haired old man, who was very happy to see me and dragged me to drink with him. I respected him for his age, so I served him attentively and accompanied him carefully. The old man was very happy. Seeing that my cultivation was too low, he gave me an elixir. After taking it, I felt that the spiritual energy in my body was full, pressing the meridians and filling my whole body, as if it was about to burst. I hurriedly meditated to refine the energy. I don't know how long I meditated. After completely refining the spiritual energy, I reached my current cultivation level. "

Zhang Pa didn't want to tell lies. The more lies he told, the easier it would be for people to see through him. He also didn't want to deceive his fellow uncle, so he basically told the truth, but he was just vague. He took a breath and continued, "After my cultivation level was improved, I parted with the old man and continued to wander around. I don't know how I got to Pingcheng, and then I met Wang Miao, a disciple of Xianyun Valley. He brought me here, so I had the opportunity to meet all the uncles." When he spoke, he omitted many details, such as the three big dogs turning into monsters; such as the elegant master who used a silver spear to pierce a bright yellow war roe deer; such as the use of the refining cauldron caused a small controversy and offended Wu Laoguai; such as giving Wang Miao and others magic weapons for free, etc., etc., he omitted all these things. Anyway, if you don't ask me, I won't tell you, it's not considered cheating.

After listening to Zhang Pa's magical story, Zhenyi and others looked at each other. Of course, they knew the terrain around Tianlei Mountain, and they definitely knew more than Zhang Pa. Not only did they know that there was a powerful monster in the ice land, but they also knew that there was something weird in the cliff.

According to Zhang Pa's previous cultivation level, he couldn't fly with a weapon, so it was normal for him to get lost in the forest. He was not wrong about those places. It was just that he met a master who gave him a magic pill? It was too lucky. Thinking of his cowardly and cowardly appearance, it might be true.

Zhenmu asked: "Which sect is the old man from?" Zhang Pa replied: "I don't know, I haven't asked."

After listening to him, Zhenmu and others sighed secretly, this kid is so lucky! But why is it not him who is lucky, but a disciple in the Qi Refining Stage, wasting the magic medicine for nothing. But then again, only a simple boy can meet such a master, and only a simple boy is willing to serve others sincerely, win the favor of the master, and it is normal to get some love. If it were me, I would not get lost at all, let alone others. Especially Zhenyi, who sighed bitterly, why was it not me who got the elixir? If it was me, not only could my cultivation be restored, but I might even be able to advance and upgrade. However, looking at Zhang Pa, it was just fate. There was nothing I could do even if I was unwilling. Besides, I would not serve others.

Although Zhenyi and others felt that the matter was too strange, they did not investigate it deeply. They knew very well what Zhang Pa was like before. If he had changed so much after not seeing him for a few months, what other explanation could there be other than encountering such a great thing? Since the matter had happened, just accept it. It was redundant to think about other things.
