After the world collapsed

Chapter 19
The dilapidated Taoist temple outside Linyuan City.

Early in the morning, when Zhang Sheng came here, he found that Qi Mo had arrived early. He suspected that Qi Mo had arrived early to show his fearlessness.

Qi Mo and Li Hunyuan, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't help being slightly taken aback when they saw Zhang Sheng.

At this time, Zhang Sheng cut off his long hair that he hadn't touched for more than a year. His clean, short and broken hair made his facial features more three-dimensional. His sword eyebrows and star eyes may be due to the practice of Yaoguang Xinghaijue. There seemed to be some mysterious star patterns in his eyes from time to time.

A dark suit made the delicate red horizontal knife on his waist stand out.

The Zhang Sheng that Qi and Mo saw before had long hair tied up randomly, a loose robe and bamboo shoes, and he didn't wear a weapon. He looked like a down-and-out Taoist priest.

Looking at it now, I almost didn't recognize it.

"This... Zhang Daoyou, if you didn't change your bamboo shoes, you almost didn't recognize them."

After saying this, Hunyuan Tianzun threw up a big bag, slung it over his body, and looked at the other two in surprise.

Zhang Sheng is fine, with a knife on his waist and a poodle on his shoulder, which looks like that.

Qi Mo didn't take anything, and he didn't have any belongings. Although he might not encounter any danger, if he encountered danger, the little fat man made up his mind to get closer to Zhang Sheng.

"This knife?"

Qi Mo looked at the particularly conspicuous red horizontal knife on Zhang Sheng's waist inexplicably.

Zhang Sheng smiled wryly, not knowing what to say.

The bamboo knives he used before are all made of bamboo, no matter the scabbard, blade, handle or handle, and the whole body is dark green.

And this time, he didn't know that he needed to recolor the knife, so he told the blacksmith owner the material and color of the scabbard, etc., and the boss decided to get him a color that he thought was suitable for Zhang Sheng.

This made Zhang Sheng a little skeptical of life when he took over the knife, but fortunately, the quality of the bronze stone-based horizontal knife itself was fine, which made him very satisfied.

"If there is any danger along the way, please take care of me!" The little fat man said suddenly.

Qi Mo's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he said to himself, didn't you say that there would be no danger, but he still responded:
"Help each other, help each other..."

After saying hello, the three quickly set off.

In fact, the two people in the Izumo sect are not deeply involved in the world, Qi Mo is okay, as the prince of the Izumo country, he knows a little about the world and the world, and the heart is sinister, but they are all limited to talking on paper.

No, Zhang Sheng easily believed it with a few words, even though what he said was the truth.

Fatty has been practicing with Taoist Yu, and he is not as good as Qi Mo in this regard.He just thinks that Zhang Sheng has a good face, he doesn't look like a bad person, and this ability of knowing people's faces was taught by Taoist Yu himself.

……

Wangshan runs dead horse, this common saying doesn't apply to monks like Zhang Sheng and the others who are fast-moving in the concentration state.

After about two hours, the three entered the mountain range along the dilapidated main road of the Lianyun Mountain Range.

The Lianyun Mountain Range was covered by thick fog all the year round due to the Immortal Ban Order, but now that the fog has cleared, its original mountain body has been exposed.

There are sporadic green dots on the mountain, but no tall trees can be seen.

"It's really a big change." Li Hunyuan sighed softly.

"Have you practiced with your master near the Lianyun Mountains since you were a child?" Zhang Sheng was very curious. Daoist Yu seemed to be a person obsessed with formations. Such a person could accept this ordinary-looking child as his apprentice. , then there must be something special about the latter.

"Zhang Daoyou, do you want to ask me what is special about me?" Li Hunyuan raised his hand and adjusted the bag of the backpack, and responded with a smile.

Hearing his answer, Zhang Sheng didn't react for a while, and then he was taken aback and continued: "I don't have any other intentions? I'm just curious."

He said so, but what he thought in his heart was, is it possible that this little fat man is a prophet?

"Actually, it's not a prophet, but a special ability." Qi Mo looked at Zhang Sheng strangely when he heard Li Hunyuan's incoherent words, and the latter nodded seriously.

"Haha, this is also the reason why I am willing to lead the two of you into the Lianyun Mountain Range without hesitation." The little fat man continued proudly:

"Within a certain range, whatever other people think or say, as long as they have a little relationship with me, will be captured by me."

Although Li Hunyuan said his ability in person, although Zhang Sheng and the two still couldn't believe it, they didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Haha, don't worry, what I said is true, I can't hear your own little secrets."

Hearing this, the other two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, the little fat man saw in his eyes and said to himself that you two really have a lot of secrets, but it's a pity that I can't hear it.

"Could this be the legendary lost Buddhist heart?" Zhang Sheng just thought of this sentence in his heart and didn't ask it out, but the effect seemed to be the same, and the little fat man answered him immediately.

"Zhang Daoyou actually knows about his mind-through technique? But it's not. It's just that he was born with wisdom eyes. After being discovered by the old master, he cultivated this ability on his own. It is somewhat similar to his mind-through."

Smart eye?Zhang Sheng naturally knew, because the old Taoist once helped him open the sky eye, which was different from Li Hunyuan's wisdom eye, and the sky eye allowed him to freely perform the vision technique.

I didn't expect that there was a person with natural insight by my side, no, no, no, I couldn't think about it, he listened to it all.

It seemed that he heard the admiration in Zhang Sheng's heart, and the smile on the corner of the little fat man's mouth could hardly be held back.

"So, how big is that range? It doesn't mean anything else. It's just that if the range is large enough, can you predict unknown dangers to you in advance?" Qi Mo suddenly thought of this.

In fact, even Li Hunyuan himself didn't expect that he was not so happy with his ability when he grew up so old.

Taoist Yu once brought him into Linyuan City once, with the intention of letting him see the world, but he hadn't practiced for too long at that time, so he couldn't selectively filter what he could hear.

As a result, the whispers in his heart kept gathering in his mind, and the fat man who was only a few years old was so frightened that he developed a high fever for several days in a row.

From then on, he never dared to go to crowded places again. Even if he succeeded in cultivation, he could choose to only hear news related to himself, so he never thought that his ability was so good.

But now he seems to have found a sense of accomplishment.

"Half the range of Linyuan City."

"It's so big! You should be able to feel any creature that is hostile to you?" Qi Mo thought of this possibility.

"Almost." Hunyuan Tianzun's answer reassured Qi Mo a lot, so that they could avoid evil and seek good fortune in advance.

"Senior brother Qi, then you might as well tell me about your housekeeping skills..." Zhang Sheng looked at Qi Mo with a very innocent look and said.

Zhang Sheng is really just for insurance, knowing himself and the enemy, and finding the right way to deal with danger.

He didn't know the dangers in the depths of the Lianyun Mountains, but he could understand the strengths of his "teammates" first, which would give him a little more confidence.

The corner of Qi Mo's eyes twitched, and he glanced at Zhang Sheng, which meant that I said yes, and you can't run away after I say it.

"I'm good at long-distance attacks." Qi Mo didn't say too much, and they didn't know each other very well, and they didn't know each other for more than a few days. It's not bad to say so much.

After Qi Mo finished speaking, Li Hunyuan nodded, and then the two looked at Zhang Sheng in unison.

Zhang Sheng smiled slightly, touched the horizontal knife on his waist and said, "I may be good at..."

The shoulders of the two shook. Indeed, Zhang Sheng's characteristics were there. Different from the thin figure of ordinary monks, Zhang Shengjin's stretched muscles were visible to the naked eye, and the glaring weapon on his waist. Thugs.

If Zhang Sheng hadn't said that he was a monk in the state of concentration, they would have thought he was a mortal warrior.

Everyone is a cultivator of immortals. Now who would use ordinary weapons like swords and sticks to fight desperately? Zhang Sheng is obviously an exception.

Zhang Sheng doesn't know what the two of them are thinking, if he knows, he will definitely refute, who said that immortal cultivators can't use mortal weapons, I have even seen a master who is about to build a foundation use a sword!
In fact, the strength of an immortal cultivator lies in the use of spiritual power. Of course, if one absorbs immortal energy, what is transformed through cultivation is the immortal energy rather than spiritual energy.

Immortal Yuanli can be used to perform various spells, such as the old Taoist saying that moving mountains and filling seas, and breaking the sky may be relatively advanced spells.

Because of this, many monks also gave up pure fighting methods. It's not that they can't wield swords, axes and hammers. On the contrary, monks absorb the essence of heaven and earth all the year round, and their physical strength is much stronger than ordinary people.

It's not that they disdain to wield knives and guns. This kind of cold weapon requires a lot of thought and continuous research, and it may not be possible to go further.Wouldn't it be more handy to solve it with a simpler and more brutal method than this.

Of course, these are just Qi Mo's cognition.

Zhang Sheng's understanding of this aspect is completely opposite to his. Ding Jun told him that it is better to strengthen oneself than to learn a powerful method.

Sophisticated?The old Taoist seems to have said that he himself is not good at fighting with people. He was a literati in the fairy world before, and he studied astrology all day long.

Where did your literati get your sword skills?
So Zhang Sheng didn't quite believe this.

Zhang Sheng prefers to delve into saber techniques. Although the Saber Breaking Technique he practiced can be regarded as a method, it is different from the technique of Wangqi Technique, which needs to be combined with his own understanding of saber techniques.

This kind of method can improve its power with the improvement of its own understanding of Dao of the sword.

The three of them chatted and walked, not to mention being careful, because they saw many wild animals where they passed, and the Lianyun Mountains seemed to be no different from other places at this time.

"Didn't your master leave any marks for you?" Zhang Sheng saw a big white rabbit flashing by in the grass not far away, and quickly pressed Xiao Qi who was eager to try on his shoulder and asked.

The little fat man shook his head and said that he has not found any clues about Daoist Yu yet, but Zhang Sheng discovered the trace of Da Zhuang's team from the very beginning.But it's useless, there is only one main road in this mountain range.

The imprints were only made along the road, and they searched all the way, and found nothing other than this regular route imprint.

"Look, the road has disappeared." Qi Mo's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to notice the changes ahead.

The dilapidated dirt road disappeared not far ahead, because the terrain ahead began to gradually become uneven, rocky and overgrown with weeds, and it was not a simple task to continue to follow the regular imprint of the big and strong team something happened.

"There is a situation, I feel it." The little fat man stopped suddenly, frowning slightly, put down the package on his shoulder, and took out a light golden object from it and put it in his hand.

"Someone?"

Qi Mo asked softly.

Zhang Sheng walked in the back. At this time, he made a tactic with one hand, and performed the look-out technique. Sure enough, a faint blue light not far in front of the forest was slowly approaching them.

Just when he was about to withdraw his consciousness, he felt something was wrong, and increased the range of the qi-watching technique. This time, he saw several blue lights, one of which was very bright, a monk in the middle stage of concentration!
"A total of 13 people, the one closest to us is a monk in the late stage of Qi refining, and the other 12 people are from the middle stage of Qi refining to the middle stage of concentration."

Zhang Sheng's speech was not in a hurry, and he clearly conveyed the news he had just observed to the other two.

As soon as this information was reported, the other two immediately froze for a moment, so accurate?

But when he thought that Zhang Sheng didn't need to lie to them at this time, the little fat man was slowly using the dragon-seeking plate for no idea what he was doing. Hearing this, he immediately activated his energy, and the ornaments on the dragon-seeking plate spun quickly.

"Although I have only heard of one person so far, I am sure that this person has not discovered us, but is hostile to the unknown us."

While talking, Li Hunyuan put the dragon-hunting plate on the ground and motioned them to retreat.

"It's all right? I didn't find you, but you can hear that you are hostile to him who is about to appear in front of him?" Qi Mo felt that Li Hunyuan's ability should not be as simple as he said.

"This person should be a scout, that is, a clear whistle, walking at the front of the team to inquire about all the information ahead." Qi Mo said analyzing.

"Okay, I simply set up a small maze. It should be able to trap them for a while." Li Hunyuan saw that the ornaments on the dragon-seeking plate stopped rotating, and a ripple spread out from the center of the dragon-seeking plate. The light flickers and then disappears.

Zhang Sheng was very surprised. He hadn't dabbled in the magic circle yet, but there were magic circles everywhere in Pojun's mansion, and he was no stranger to it.

"This team of monks is definitely not from our side. It should have come in from outside the Lianyun Mountain Range. If they can come in, it means that the Immortal Ban Order, that is, the large magic circle that originally shrouded the Lianyun Mountain Range no longer exists. "

Qi Mo continued to analyze based on the information he had obtained, and he had already learned about the Immortal Ban Order and the like in previous conversations.

"The disappearance of the magic circle should not be possible for monks of their level, so these monks are likely to be related to the loss of contact with your friend's team!"

"So, I think we should catch their scouts first, and then interrogate them. Even if they find out that something happened to the scouts, they will be trapped by Junior Brother Hunyuan's maze. How about we decide whether to advance or retreat and how to act? "

Qi Mo quickly formulated a battle plan.

After hearing this, Zhang and Sheng felt that there was nothing wrong, so the three of them lay in ambush and waited for the scouts to appear.

The little fat man felt that since the man was a scout, he must have some special reconnaissance means, so he quickly arranged a concealment formation. When he was inside the formation, Zhang Sheng found that he couldn't even see the qi spell To each other's breath.

Sure enough, not long after, a figure in a sleeveless leather jacket and black legging shorts appeared in their field of vision.

The man also has a bird that looks like an eagle on his shoulder.

Although this outfit seemed strange to Qi Mo and the others, the man's cautious steps and the animals on his shoulders showed that their guess was not wrong.

At this moment, the three of them were hiding in the hidden formation behind the bushes beside the dirt road. Seeing that the scout was about to pass by them, the time was ripe.

"Who's going?" Li Hunyuan didn't finish his sentence, only a "whoosh" sound and a figure flew past him.

Looking aside, Qi Mo was still there, so there was no doubt that Zhang Sheng was the one who made the move.

　Two updates in the afternoon, one update yesterday in the evening, and three updates today.
