Chapter 169 Return to Tang Sect
Chapter 169 Return to Tang Sect
Ruan Feng sat quietly under the sacred tree, sometimes looking up to think, sometimes lowering his head to meditate, trying to adjust his state and achieve fusion with the sacred tree.
The Holy Forest is also a forbidden area on Nasen Island. No gods or people except the king and the guards can set foot there.
Now only Jia Zhengliang and Ruan Feng, the master and his disciple, are left here.
Firstly, King Nathan kept his promise and left the tree to Jia Zhengliang for research in exchange for his help.
Secondly, the group of people had achieved their goal of breaking the golden branch, and no one would come to disturb the Holy Forest in the short term.
Thirdly, Wang and the Nasen Guards may not admit it, but after Jia Zhengliang's analysis, their belief in the sacred tree has more or less changed.
When God is no longer high and mighty and inviolable, believers' attitude toward Him will change greatly.
"Didn't you say you listened to what I said?
Why are you still meditating under this tree? Have you decided to become a vegetable?
You said I scared you, but you scared me!"
Jia Zhengliang sat opposite Ruan Feng, trying to figure out what his master was thinking.
“I think I figured it out!
Originally, I was struggling with whether or not to submit to the tree. Now that I know that as its believer, I have the opportunity to become it, I feel more comfortable with it!
Think about it, the ultimate wish of those who practice Taoism is to become immortal!
The ultimate ideal of those who worship Buddha is to become a Buddha!
But these are too vague, and they may only be able to move a little bit towards that goal throughout their entire lives.
And those who worship the sacred tree can really turn into a tree. Isn't that wonderful! "
As he spoke, Ruan Feng seemed to have a feeling. He stood up and moved closer to the sacred tree.
"Speaking of which, there was once a great opportunity before me, but all I realized was that I could fill my stomach. How ridiculous!
But that's me!
I know in my heart that if I can change my path, I may be able to escape from the torture of appetite. However, it is easier said than done!
This is my root as a practitioner, and it determines the path I will take.
I can never become Yingzi, nor can I become Third Brother or Fourth Brother...
And then again, don’t you think that a person who only knows how to eat and live is very similar to this tree?
The man-eating man finally turned into a man-eating tree. Isn't this a very Zen ending?"
"...I suddenly feel that it is a great honor to have you as my teacher.
After enlightenment, your realm will rise rapidly, and your disciples will never be able to catch up with you even if they try their best!
But it's still too early for you to think about this now. After all, these great principles are easier said than done. After so long, hasn't your mindset yet adjusted to that state?
And you have to work hard, because the tree cutters are coming soon!"
"That's true, but did you really have to say the second half? Will you die if you praise me a few more times?"
I want to scold you, but I can't. You are really talented. It only took you three weeks to master the Six Treasury Immortal Thief and Feng Hou Qimen?"
"The main thing is that he mastered the Six Treasury Immortal Thief. As for Fenghou Qimen, he just understood the key and let go of the Fenghou diagram that remained in my mind..."
"That's quite impressive, three weeks! A genius like you is only this good..."
After sighing, Ruan Feng returned to the sacred tree and continued to meditate. Jia Zhengliang stepped back a little and also sat cross-legged, taking in the mystery of the sacred tree.
There was one thing he didn't dare tell Ruan Feng. On the day Jia Zhengliang caught the Six Treasury Immortal Thief, he immediately taught Chen Duo a lesson.
And from the time Chen Duo obtained the cultivation method to the time he left Nasen Island, it took only three days for him to master the Six Treasury Immortal Thief.
This was not what Chen Duo asked for, nor was it what Chen Duo wanted, but when it was given to Chen Duo, she did not explicitly refuse.
Chen Duo had learned the saying that if someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
"Save your woman? Is this your third request?" Chen Duo asked.
“No, this is extra… Yes, I know it’s a bit shameless to teach you the Six Treasury Immortal Thief first and then ask you to help me.
However, this journey will be filled with interesting things and unimaginable wonderful encounters, and you will not regret it! "
"In that case... I can promise you.
Now that the second request has been fulfilled, your third request would be for me to rescue you from this island, right?"
"That can't be! In fact, the second request was not completed..."
Chen Duo: “…”
"I'm coming to Nasen Island to retrieve something, and I need your help. But that thing isn't from the Six Treasury Immortal Thief, so..."
"You made me see the ugliness of human beings!" A strange emotion grew in Chen Duo's heart, making her unable to suppress the urge to do something to alleviate it.
Chen Duo opened her red lips slightly, and there was a crisp sound of teeth colliding.
Jia Zhengliang cried out in pain as he discovered a deep tooth mark on his arm.
The corrosive nature of the Six Treasury Immortal Thief made it impossible for Shuangquanshou to recover immediately.
"Tell me your whole plan, don't hide anything!"
At the Lu family mansion in Beijing, Chen Duo, still dressed in that stylish white robe, was holding a watering can and watering Mr. Lu's garden.
Suddenly she found a flower among the brilliant flowers. It was yellow and withered, and it was out of tune with the other vibrant flowers.
Chen Duo squatted down, lowered his head, and let out a breath.
This breath was filled with the breath of life, delivering nutrients precisely to the roots of the flower.
In the blink of an eye, the rotten leaves fell off, new leaves grew, the bent flower stems straightened again, and the flowers bloomed in an instant.
Although the flower is alive, it seems too bright compared to the others. There is nothing we can do about it!
"It's almost time, that bastard should have successfully approached the sacred tree, right?
Zhang Chulan has also taken action, so it’s about time I follow him...
Tang Sect... Central Shu... Southwest... Then I'll have a chance to meet that person..."
After he finished talking to himself, Chen Duo stood still with both feet, entering the third level of reverse life. His whole body glowed white, and faint white smoke rose from his body.
With a sudden exertion of force, white smoke rose, and in a trance, a white figure soared into the sky and disappeared between heaven and earth.
On the other side, the Tang Clan in Shu, thousands of miles away, encountered a huge storm because of Zhang Chulan's arrival.
In the original novel, Zhang Chulan was forced by Quan Xing to go to Tang Sect because he cooperated with Lu Linglong and asked Quan Xing about the grudge between Mr. Lu and Wu Gensheng.
Now, Lu Linglong brought Li Muxuan back directly from Nasen Island, and even copied the memories directly from his brain.
Logically, Zhang Chulan had no reason to go to the Tang Sect, but unexpectedly, just receiving a phone call led him to the same old path as the original plot.
"I'm planning to take all the people from Quan Xing to the Tang Sect to cause trouble. Don't you want to know your grandfather Zhang Huaiyi's purpose in breaking into the Tang Sect? When he died, he was hit by the Tang Sect's unique skill, Dan Shi!"
