After the world collapsed

Chapter 16 Death Squad
Ding Jun explained that this part of the trial ground is not exclusive to the Pojun Mansion, but shared by several star mansions.

There is a lot of information here, and Ding Jun simply sat on the bench and talked with him after opening the chatter box.

There are a total of nine Star Mansions similar to Pojun Mansion, namely Tanlang Mansion, Jumen Mansion, Lucun Mansion, Wenqu Mansion, Lianzhen Mansion, Wuqu Mansion, Po Jun Mansion, Zuoxiang Mansion, and Right General Mansion. .

It is said that the names of these nine star mansions are taken from the nine stars of the Big Dipper in the sky. The nine star mansions existed in ancient times. Later, the ancient emperors fell, and all the star kings disappeared. The current star mansions have long since been ignored.

Ding Jun also doesn't know the specific situation of the other star mansions, whether they can still function normally like the Pojun mansion.

Like the person Zhang Sheng met, it means that the star mansion has already been inherited, and this situation is already quite optimistic.

Ding Jun specifically told him not to spread some of these things.

For example, the nine star mansions belonged to the ancient imperial court, but the ancient imperial court has long since ceased to exist, and even the old Taoist's knowledge of the fairy world only began with the first immortal emperor in ancient times, the Evergreen Emperor.

The history of the Pojun Mansion is actually before Emperor Changqing, and it is the first time Zhang Sheng has heard of the power of the ancient imperial court.

But he didn't really care about all of this, because it was too far away from him.

What he is more concerned about at this stage is the opponent who kills him instantly, so it seems that the opponent is not a puppet, but a real monk.

I don't know which Xingfu the other party is the descendant of, if I meet outside, I will be powerless to fight back.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sheng couldn't help asking:
"How is the relationship between these star palaces? There won't be any enmity between them?"

Ding Jun looked at him in surprise and replied:

"No, there won't be any hatred."

"Huh... that's good." Zhang Sheng was relieved when he heard the words, then got up and continued to walk towards the teleportation circle.

In the next few days, Zhang Sheng did not meet that person again, but all he met were powerful puppets, and one of them had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, which naturally made him experience the thrill of being killed in seconds .

However, the gains in this process are still great. Facing opponents of different cultivation levels, leapfrog fighting can better stimulate one's own potential.

Zhang Sheng believes that if he meets that opponent in the late stage of Concentration again, he should not be defeated by one sword, at least he can survive until the second sword.

After staying in the trial ground for more than ten days, I think the old Taoist should have left the customs, so it's time to go back and have a look.

After teleporting back to the hall of the Pojun Mansion, Zhang Sheng walked back to the small building in the forest. He suddenly froze and turned his head slowly. He saw a scene that stunned him.

The gate of the Divine Beast Hall, which was supposed to be closed, opened a gap at some point, because no light seeped through it, so Zhang Sheng didn't notice it at the first time.

Strong curiosity tended him towards the slightly opened door of the Divine Beast Hall. He wanted to know what was peeping at him from behind the door, was it the senior called Xun by Ding Jun?
Standing in front of the door, Zhang Sheng gently looked over his head and looked inside the crack of the door.

It was dark below and he couldn't see clearly. Looking up, a huge eye was staring at him.

If it wasn't for the fact that there was no killing intent in his eyes, but very clear, Zhang Sheng might have fled at this moment.

"Hello, senior..."

Before the words were finished, his huge eyes narrowed, and suddenly a gust of wind blew up, Zhang Sheng couldn't open his eyes and quickly took a few steps back.

In the darkness, he felt that something seemed to rush out of the door in front of him, and then poured into his body.

About half a cup of tea, the strong wind dissipated, and Zhang Sheng finally opened his eyes.The gate of the Divine Beast Hall has been closed, and he is intact, and there seems to be something wrong.

Hurrying to look inside with his legs crossed, Zhang Sheng realized that there was a giant beast lying above his sea of ​​consciousness, which seemed to be in a deep sleep.

Lion head, antlers, tiger eyes, ox tail, and scales on the body, isn't this exactly the statue I saw outside the Pojun Mansion.

"Master said this is called Qilin, right?"

The giant beast seemed to feel the cover of Zhang Sheng's spiritual consciousness, turned over lazily, and continued to doze.

Zhang Sheng had never heard of such a thing, so he quickly got up and prepared to go back to Lin Jian Xiaozhu to ask for clarification.

Just after Zhang Sheng left, the scarecrow who had been standing still in the hall of the Pojun Mansion turned his head to look at his disappearing teleportation array, thoughtfully.

Back at Xiaozhu, it turned out that the old Taoist had finished his short-term retreat and was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool and drinking tea.

The moment he saw Zhang Sheng, his originally smiling expression suddenly froze, and turned into incredulity.

Before Zhang Sheng could ask, the old Taoist grabbed his wrist, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment and said excitedly:

"Great fortune, great fortune!"

……

Izumo Country, inside a blacksmith's shop in Linyuan City.

A young man in smart attire was talking with his boss, and there was a cute little fluffy animal lying on his shoulder.

"Okay, little brother, with the mold, there will be no problem."

The boss accepted the bamboo knife handed over by the young man with a smile, and the young man asked him to use the bamboo knife as a template to remake a high-quality horizontal knife.

The shape of the horizontal knife is very strange. It is more like a sword than a knife. The blade of an ordinary knife usually has a curvature, but this bamboo knife does not. Its straight blade is more like a sword, and generally speaking The blade of the knife is very wide, and the blade of this bamboo knife is thinner than many heavy swords. The most important thing is that it has no tip and the front end is almost flat, which also proves that it cannot be used for stabbing, but it can be used for chopping It seems that the width of the blade is not very strong.

Although there were a lot of doubts in his heart, the boss agreed very happily. After all, it can be cast according to the required mold, and how to use it is his business.

After speaking, he glanced at the cute little beast on the shoulder of the other party. The little beast was looking around curiously with its big eyes wide open.

"Um, what kind of material do we use for this knife? Do you have any requirements?" The boss continued to the topic, and took out several fine stone samples one after another, obviously to let the young man choose the material for casting the knife.

The young man looked at the material and didn't make a sound, but the little beast on his body jumped down with a thud, and sniffed each of the fine stones.

Finally, he raised his furry paws and landed on a bronze-colored fine stone sample.

The boss and the young man looked at the Jingshi next to it at the same time, showing shocked expressions.

"That's it."

The young man pointed to the bronze-colored fine stone and said.

"Little brother, you have good eyesight. This is the finest bronze essence. Using it to make the blade must be extremely strong."

After paying the bill, the young man touched the money bag with some pain, and walked out of the blacksmith shop.

Walking on the street again, most of the people walking towards him will unconsciously look at him... the cute little beast lying on his shoulders.

The young man was Zhang Sheng. It had been half a month since he left the Pojun Mansion. Originally, the old man wanted him to come out to get some fresh air and visit Princess Wenyang, a cheap senior sister.

After more than two years of training in the Pojun Mansion, the outside world has changed a lot. I don't know what changes will happen to Wen Yang, who is the jewel of the royal family and also holds the Juyuan Jue.

But the result surprised him a bit, he did not enter the palace in Ningcheng, and there were many more heavy guards outside the palace than before.

He also tried sneaking in to see if he could find his senior sister. With his current cultivation in the middle stage of the Concentration Realm, breaking through the guards of these ordinary soldiers was effortless.

But he was persuaded to leave by a voice transmission in the middle of his slippage. The other party didn't show up, but the voice transmission came from a long distance to let him leave quickly.

This reminded Zhang Sheng of the purple aura when he first came to Ningcheng to observe the palace with the qi technique. It seems that this senior is at least a monk in the alchemy state.

He had no choice but to leave a note for someone who looked like the captain of the guard and asked him to pass it on to Princess Wenyang.

After searching around during this period of time, he has undergone earth-shaking changes during the more than a year of training in the Pojun Mansion.

First of all, several fairy mansions were discovered after the vision from the sky, the most famous one is Langya Pavilion in the Izumo Kingdom, which has been protected by the royal guards of the Izumo Kingdom, and the first person to enter it His identity is also guessed by everyone.

Some people say that the Lord of the Izumo Kingdom practiced in it, while others said that a certain prince of the Izumo Kingdom entered it first.

There is also a Ziyang Palace that is said to have descended directly in the imperial city of Dongyang Kingdom, which is why the imperial city of Ningcheng has stepped up its guard.

The last one is a fairy mansion called Mingyun Xiantai, which is also in Dongyang Kingdom and is occupied by Tianmen Sect, one of the three sects.

As the news of the cultivators spread, and with the arrival of these immortal mansions.Most people have accepted existence of various kinds.

The Tianmen Sect who occupied Mingyun Xiantai also opened the sect and recruited a lot of disciples. Presumably, Mingyun Xiantai should have a relatively complete set of inheritance mastered by Tianmen Sect. Suddenly, the prestige of Tianmen Sect among the people grew rapidly, and there was a faint The momentum to become the head of the three sects.

After all, the temptation of cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal is irresistible to ordinary people who have never thought about it or even heard of it. Although the Tianmen Sect is also very strict in accepting people, this does not affect people's desire for immortality.

There is no loss if you are not selected, and if you are lucky enough to join Tianmen Sect, Guangzong Yaozu naturally needless to say, your life will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future.

And Zhang Sheng's main purpose of coming to Linyuan City was to come for his only friend since he was a child.

Because there is a column of notices on the notice boards of major cities in the two countries.This announcement is a list of more than a dozen people who were sent into the Lianyun Mountains.

And Zhen Xiaofan's name is impressively on it, Zhen Xiaofan is Da Zhuang's real name.

It turned out that after the vision fell from the sky, the thick fog in the Lianyun Mountains gradually dissipated. The two countries decided to send a death squad into the Lianyun Mountains for reconnaissance.

As for why Da Zhuang is in this team, that's a long story.

When Da Zhuang joined the army at that time, he was directly assigned to the Poxiao Army by some means by his brother, and his brother Zhen Yu was a centurion in the Poxiao Army.

The good times didn't last long, and Zhen Yu offended the commander above him for some reason, and his legs were broken. Da Zhuang had only joined the army for half a year at this time. After learning about this, he was not impulsive. During the practice, he challenged the commander.

Then, relying on his brute force, he was crippled on the spot. It is said that afterwards, Da Zhuang just looked at the commander who was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud and smirked.

It was originally a short-term contest, but Da Zhuang was dealt with by military law because of his heavy hand, and he was punished for murdering his superior.

The commander of the Lixiao Army was also at the scene that day. She was amazed by Da Zhuang's combat effectiveness, and at the same time felt that there was something strange about it, so she began to investigate the matter. After learning what happened, Da Zhuang was exempted from the death penalty. Stuck in a military prison.

The commander's family is also a powerful force in Dongyang country, and at the same time they are putting pressure on the military to execute Da Zhuang and even threaten his family.

In the end, this team of dead soldiers was established. Five people from Izumo country, five people from Dongyang country, plus a monk leader, this 11-member team was formed.

The life and death of this trip is uncertain, because it is rumored that all the people who entered the Lianyun Mountain Range have died, and the Lianyun Mountain Range has become a taboo talk among people in recent years, and it is considered an ominous omen.

Da Zhuang was sent to this team abruptly, because the leader is a cultivator, so he is not afraid of other people escaping.

Under the persecution of the family of the commander-in-chief, the commander of the dawn army had to make concessions and sent Da Zhuang to this team. The other party wanted to let Da Zhuang go without returning, but the commander felt that this was not a bad idea. One trick is to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Zhang Sheng didn't know the other people on the list, but this team, like the rumored predecessors, had no news after entering the Lianyun Mountains.

It has been three months now.

The night before Da Zhuang joined the army, the old Taoist personally made a divination for him, saying that his life would be full of calamities, but he did not appear to be short-lived, which meant that his life was hard to die, but there were many things to do.

Zhang Sheng wondered if it was just because of hearing this that Da Zhuang smirked and abolished the commander-in-chief. The words of the old man made him feel confident.

And he has made sufficient preparations for entering the Lianyun Mountain Range in the past few days. He believes that Da Zhuang will not die in a place like the Lianyun Mountain Range.

Zhang Sheng was influenced by old Taoists since he was a child. He is not afraid of heaven and earth. He naturally doesn't care about the legend that there is no return to the Lianyun Mountains. What's more, he now has a hole card, and he is determined to find Da Zhuang.

"In three days' time, go back to the blacksmith's shop and pick up the horizontal knife and go." Zhang Sheng looked towards the direction of the Lianyun Mountains and thought to himself.The only horizontal knife in the proving ground has long since been discarded by him, and of course the material of that horizontal knife is relatively ordinary.

Ding Jun expressed helplessness about this, he said that all the weapons are in the Bing Pavilion, which has a level [-] authority, and Zhang Sheng can't get in until he enters the Foundation Establishment Realm.

So I had to spend my own money to build one.

The old Taoist was unable to leave the mansion because of the mechanism of breaking the army mansion, so he had to stay in the small building in the forest to chat and drink tea with the crane boy every day, and spend the rest of the time sitting cross-legged and practicing alone.

In the words of the Scarecrow, only when Zhang Sheng enters the main hall can he take over the control of the Pojun Mansion, and only then can the old Taoist be released.

As for the mysterious little beast on Zhang Sheng's shoulder, its origin really makes people dumbfounded.
