Lonely Immortal

When Zhang Zhiwen saw this scene, he felt something was wrong intuitively, but at this time, there was a movement outside the yard, as if what happened in the yard was discovered, and a group of people rushed into the wing room. It seemed that Zhang Zhiwen had no choice but to take the old man directly into this wilderness.

This wilderness was filled with fog and was extremely gloomy. There were human bones everywhere on the ground, as if entering a ghost land. The old man was already a little scared. He followed Zhang Zhiwen tremblingly, looking around carefully, and Zhang Zhiwen was also solemnly alert to the situation around him.

Nothing else was felt here, but the demonic energy here was soaring, and this place was different from the polluted land. There was no demonic energy in the polluted land, only evil energy.

This demonic energy is different from evil energy. Demonic energy is bloodthirsty and evil energy is evil. Although the two seem to be similar, the evil energy in the polluted land does not have such a heavy bloodthirsty breath, and it feels like a lot of wronged souls have gathered here. The sound of howling came faintly from all around, looming in the wind.

As they walked forward, the surrounding forests became denser and denser, and the gloomy atmosphere became heavier. The old man was so scared that his face turned pale, while Zhang Zhiwen was cautiously alert to the surroundings. Not long after, a temple appeared in front of him.

Seeing this temple, Zhang Zhiwen stopped. This was an abandoned temple, with weeds everywhere and evil spirits everywhere. The crows around kept making miserable cries, which echoed throughout the wilderness and made people's scalps numb.

"What should we do now?"

The old man licked his dry lips, looked at Zhang Zhiwen, and asked.

Zhang Zhiwen looked around and found no other way to pass through this place. It seemed that he had to pass through here. Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen did not say much, and he walked towards the abandoned temple.

Soon, the two came to the outside of the temple, where there stood a stone tablet with three words engraved on it - Jinguang Temple!

It seems that this is a Buddhist temple, but the evil spirit here is so strong that it is definitely not a peaceful place. It is unknown how many filthy things are hidden in this place. However, so far, these filthy things have not appeared in front of Zhang Zhiwen and the old man, which makes people feel even more incredible.

Logically speaking, this should be the territory of Zhao Wangfu, but it is a wasteland, which is extremely strange in itself. At this time, there was movement in the abandoned temple, and then three monks came out.

At this time, Zhang Zhiwen and the old man were extremely surprised, and the three monks were obviously surprised to see Zhang Zhiwen and the old man. The two sides looked at each other for a few times and saw that the other party was not a monster. The three monks were relieved and then hurriedly came forward.

The three monks were two women and one man. The two women were dressed in black and looked about 20 years old. The male monk was in his 40s and seemed to be their father. When they came closer, they greeted Zhang Zhiwen and the old man.

"I am Chen Jifeng, and they are my daughters. She is Chen Wanting and she is Chen Wanfeng. May I know your names?"

The leading man clasped his fists and said to Zhang Zhiwen. The two female cultivators beside him also nodded to Zhang Zhiwen, as if to say hello.

Zhang Zhiwen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at them, and then said: "I am Zhang Zhiwen, this..."

"Oh, I am Qin Huaixing, and I am honored to meet you three fellow Taoists!"

The old man finally said his name, and he didn't seem to be too surprised by the three cultivators who appeared in the abandoned temple.

"It turns out to be Qin Daoyou, come on, please come in."

Chen Jifeng smiled and motioned everyone to sit inside. Zhang Zhiwen looked at him and then at Qin Huaixing. He didn't say much, and he walked in.

Seeing Zhang Zhiwen go in, the old man Qin Huaixing also hurriedly followed and went in, and Chen Jifeng and the other three monks followed in. Soon, everyone came to the abandoned temple. The temple was not big and was abandoned everywhere. The head of the Bodhisattva had fallen off, and there were weeds everywhere on the ground. However, it looked clean and there was no peculiar smell. Obviously, this should be the temporary place where Chen Jifeng and his daughter and his daughter stayed.

"Where did you two come from?"

After Chen Jifeng invited Zhang Zhiwen and Qin Huaixing to sit down, he asked.

Zhang Zhiwen was a little surprised, and the old man Qin Huaixing also looked at Zhang Zhiwen. Obviously, the two of them were confused by Chen Jifeng's words. What did he mean by where he came from? Is there any need to say this? Then they must have come in from the wing room in the mansion, right?

But Chen Jifeng and his two daughters didn't seem to be like that, because Zhang Zhiwen saw something wrong from the beginning. This was a place in the wilderness, and there was an abandoned temple. Most of these temples were temporary resting places for passing merchants, which was very common in the secular world.

But this was not an ordinary secular place. This was a place full of evil spirits. Why did the three of them rest at the foot of the pillars here? This was really surprising, but it could be seen that neither Chen Jifeng nor his two daughters had much ill will towards the sudden appearance of Zhang Zhiwen and Qin Huaixing, nor were they too surprised. It seemed that it was quite normal for Zhang Zhiwen and Qin Huaixing to appear here.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen didn't know what to say, but Chen Jifeng said, "I guess you two should have come from the south, right?"

"Oh, right, right..."

The old man Qin Huaixing was quite shrewd and quickly lied that they came from the south. As for where the south was, the old man Qin Huaixing didn't know, but he would deal with it first anyway.

"Well, then we are the same. My daughter and I are also from the south. We happened to stop here to rest, and we happened to meet you two. So why don't we go together so that we can have someone to take care of us?"

Chen Jifeng said, it was obvious that when Chen Jifeng saw that Zhang Zhiwen and Qin Huaixing didn't look like bad people, he actually invited everyone to go together.

But Zhang Zhiwen didn't know where he was going. The old man Qin Huaixing was also a little embarrassed because he didn't know what was going on here. Anyway, since they entered this place, they felt that this place was extremely strange.

Seeing that Zhang Zhiwen and the old man Qin Huaixing seemed unhappy, Chen Jifeng said quickly: "Oh, that's actually the case. Don't worry too much. I and my daughter are just going to Wangfengling not far ahead. After arriving at Wangfengling "I still have some things to do with my daughter, so I won't delay your schedule."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwen looked at the old man Qin Huaixing. The old man Qin Huaixing also seemed to have a baffled expression. Obviously, they knew nothing about this place, nor did they know that Chen Jifeng and his two daughters were going to Wangfengling. What place is it? But Zhang Zhiwen thought for a while, nodded, and said: "Okay, then let's go together for the time being."

"Haha, that's great. There are too many monsters along the way. We have to be well prepared tonight, otherwise we won't be able to reach Wangfengling."

Chen Jifeng said.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Zhiwen and the old man Qin Huaixing couldn't help but look at each other. It was obvious that there were monsters here, and Chen Jifeng and his daughter were not surprised by this. However, Chen Jifeng and his daughter did not know that Zhang Zhiwen and The old man Qin Huaixing came from outside, but Zhang Zhiwen felt that Chen Jifeng and his daughter should be indigenous to this place.

However, Zhang Zhiwen didn't ask any more questions. He didn't know much about this place, and he didn't know what was going on with Chen Jifeng and his daughter. Although they were all foundation-building practitioners and very weak, Zhang Zhiwen had a vague feeling that he should say less about it. Wonderful, after things appear bit by bit, you will naturally figure out what this place is.

The old man Qin Huaixing was not stupid either. He didn't say much, he just said yes repeatedly. In this way, everyone stopped temporarily in the abandoned temple, but Zhang Zhiwen discovered that this place actually had many connections with Prince Zhao's Mansion. For example, he was here , the cultivation level is still suppressed. Although the pill has been used, it seems that the foundation building cultivation level has been restored on the surface, but in fact the restriction of Prince Zhao's Palace still exists in this place.

Secondly, he can't fly, and Chen Jifeng and others obviously can't fly either. Therefore, this place should also be a no-fly zone. In that case, this place must have a deep connection with Prince Zhao's Mansion, which is not surprising. Too unexpected.

In addition, the old man Qin Huaixing seemed to know about this situation, and he did not say anything, because no one knew what would happen here, nor did they know the origins of Chen Jifeng and his daughter. The three of them were foundation-building monks, Zhang Zhiwen They could be killed easily, but Zhang Zhiwen didn't do that, and he couldn't kill people for no reason. He still had to see how things would change as they progressed.

In the eyes of Chen Jifeng and his daughter, Zhang Zhiwen is a young master, and the old man Qin Huaixing is a personal servant like a housekeeper. Because Zhang Zhiwen has a foundation-building cultivation level and Qin Huaixing has a Qi-refining level cultivation level, this naturally conforms to the stereotypes of ordinary people. .

"You two, I would like to ask, are you two in Beijing to take the exam?"

Chen Jifeng finally asked his doubts.

"Dad, look at him, he must have gone to Beijing to take the exam. It's just that the world is not peaceful, and it's not that easy to go to Beijing to take the exam."

"Yes, young master, if you take an old slave with you when you go out, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to enter the capital!"

Chen Jifeng's two daughters, Chen Wanting and Chen Wanfeng, rarely spoke out.

This surprised Zhang Zhiwen and the old man Qin Huaixing. They did not expect that they would go to Beijing to take the exam. However, Zhang Zhiwen and the old man Qin Huaixing remained calm. Zhang Zhiwen nodded slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. If you can get there, go there, if you can’t get there, go back.”

"That's, that's..."

Chen Jifeng seemed to think that his two daughters were talking too much. Others had made up their minds to go to Beijing to take the exam. They would have to go through many hardships and dangers along the way. How could they throw cold water on them without a few words of encouragement?

But this incident made Zhang Zhiwen and the old man Qin Huaixing feel very strange. What exactly is this place? Why is there any saying that it is a capital? Is it a palace? But this is definitely wrong. How can the palace have the right to hold the imperial examination? Moreover, this kind of imperial examination must be an immortal examination, and it must be something that only the imperial palace of the immortal dynasty can pass.

But this place was so weird, and there were locals like Chen Jifeng and his daughter. Zhang Zhiwen and the old man Qin Huaixing were secretly surprised, but they remained calm, especially Zhang Zhiwen, who also asked: "Three people I don’t know why you’re going to Wangfengling?”

When Chen Jifeng heard this, he didn't hide it, but started talking. His two daughters, Chen Wanting and Chen Wanfeng, also interrupted from time to time. At this time, Zhang Zhiwen finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that they were going to attend a wedding. It was said that his niece was getting married, so he rushed over specially. This made Zhang Zhiwen even more surprised. There was such a situation for a cultivator? What kind of wedding did he have to attend?

He couldn't help but look at the old man Qin Huaixing, and the old man Qin Huaixing's eyes clearly showed a trace of surprise and astonishment. What kind of a hell is this place? A cultivator actually has to attend a wedding. Generally speaking, there are Taoist couples, but how can this situation look similar to the secular situation?

However, Zhang Zhiwen didn't say much. Instead, he clasped his fists and congratulated them. This made Chen Jifeng, his father and daughter, have a better impression of Zhang Zhiwen. Obviously, this is another secular thing. It is completely different from the things in the Zhaowang Mansion. Even the Immortal Dynasty can't have such a thing.

Afterwards, everyone casually chatted about some family matters, which were probably some insignificant things, but Zhang Zhiwen generally knew who the other party was. Chen Jifeng came from Dinghe Valley in the south. He usually made a living by selling cloth. He was also an experienced person who traveled all over the world. He was very familiar with the situation here, especially the situation in the Red River Corridor.

The Red River Corridor was originally a large plain washed out by the Red River. On this large plain, there were generally dozens or hundreds of cities, and Dinghe Valley was one of them, and Wangfengling was also one of them.

Of course, this was Zhang Zhiwen's speculation. Chen Jifeng did not say so much in detail. He just generally said some places, saying that the south was rich in spiritual mines and the north was rich in spiritual cloth. He usually did business and traveled between the north and the south. Generally speaking, he came out alone. This time he was to attend his niece's wedding, so he brought his two daughters out specially.

His wife died early, and he has been alone for many years and has not remarried. Now he is thinking about letting his two daughters marry a good family, so that he will not have to worry about anything in this life.

These words sound completely secular, and are not what a cultivator should say, but Chen Jifeng and his two daughters think that saying these things is natural and very common.

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, I see that you seem to be unmarried, right?"

Chen Jifeng suddenly changed the subject and asked about Zhang Zhiwen's situation. Zhang Zhiwen probably knew what he was going to say, and the old man Qin Huaixing looked at Zhang Zhiwen with a smirk. It was obvious that Chen Jifeng had taken a fancy to Zhang Zhiwen and planned to marry one of his daughters to Zhang Zhiwen.

But at this time, there was a noise outside, and then a large group of people rushed in. These people were fierce and ferocious, like bandits. They came in and shouted to Zhang Zhiwen and others: "If you want to live, hand over the valuables on your body!"
