Lonely Immortal

This monster also likes to drink, which makes Zhang Zhiwen feel a little interesting. He shook the wine gourd, and there was not much wine left in it. He threw the wine gourd aside, and then he checked the monster corpses and found nothing else.

"Mr. Zhang, I didn't expect you to be a disciple of the immortal master. Chen is disrespectful!"

Chen Jifeng came over with his two daughters. It was obvious that he was fooled by the old man Qin Huaixing and didn't know what the old man Qin Huaixing said. Logically speaking, the old man was not familiar with this place, how could he make up a story? If this was not well made, wouldn't it be exposed?

But looking at the appearance of Chen Jifeng and his daughter, they should have believed the words of the old man Qin Huaixing. In this case, Zhang Zhiwen was too lazy to explain anything more. He just returned a salute and didn't say much.

But Chen Jifeng and his daughter were obviously very interested in the immortal things. In fact, anyone would be interested in this kind of thing. When he was in the secular world, wasn't Zhang Zhiwen also very yearning and looking forward to hearing such fairy stories?

Of course, the real world of immortal cultivation is extremely cruel and completely different from what ordinary people imagine. It is not free and easy, nor is it extremely happy. In fact, it is just the opposite. There are countless difficulties on the road to immortal cultivation. All the way is trembling and treading on thin ice. If you are not careful, you will end up with your soul scattered, which is worse than the normal life, aging, illness and death of ordinary people.

But at this moment, Chen Jifeng, his father and his daughter, how could they know so much, and they themselves are in the foundation-building stage, but they don’t know it.

There is actually another explanation for this matter. Logically speaking, these people have cultivated, so they must be immortal cultivators, but in fact it is not the case. For example, for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, it is a process from nothing to something, starting from the spiritual energy entering the body. This is what the cultivators themselves know, but the people here are obviously not like this. They may be in the Qi Refining Stage when they are born, and they may automatically carry spiritual energy in their bodies.

This is called the innate spiritual fetus, which is somewhat similar to Zhang Zhiwen's Xuanyin spiritual fetus, but Zhang Zhiwen's Xuanyin spiritual fetus is condensed with the help of external objects, and the people here have this kind of flesh, so they are not ordinary fetuses when they are born.

But they don't know this at all, and don't know what the spiritual energy in their bodies is used for. It's just like the blood flowing in the body. It's normal to eat and drink water. These people can also automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and continuously improve the spiritual energy in their bodies as they grow older. They don't even need to specially attack the Xuanguan, nor do they need to specially build the foundation, or even specially form the pill. They can naturally build the foundation, even form the pill, and even worse, form the infant.

Just imagine, what exactly are these people?

This is what Zhang Zhiwen guessed after seeing the monsters and then seeing Chen Jifeng and his father and daughter. Whether it's monsters or ordinary people here, they are actually not ordinary people. They are definitely innate spiritual fetuses.

The so-called innate spirit fetus is the innate spirit body. This innate spirit body is everywhere in this place, and Zhang Zhiwen and the old man Qin Huaixing accidentally broke in. As for why they got in, this is not something Zhang Zhiwen can know.

Then, according to Zhang Zhiwen's current speculation, if the people here are all innate spirit bodies, then the flesh and blood of these people are naturally something that monsters covet. As for why some people here become monsters, Zhang Zhiwen can't figure it out, at least for the time being.

Of course, all this is related to his visit to Zhao Wangfu to investigate monsters. If this secret realm can lead to the palace, it is naturally more related. What unknown secrets are hidden in it?

Zhang Zhiwen also became curious, because if you let anyone out here, they are all extremely amazing beings with amazing cultivation qualifications. You know, these are all innate spirit bodies, and they can almost reach the foundation of cultivation without cultivation. If you practice casually, the high achievement is simply unimaginable!

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen gradually figured out some of the things that were not clear to him.

Of course, Chen Jifeng, his father and his daughter admired Zhang Zhiwen very much. They had only heard stories about immortals, but no one had seen any traces of immortals.

But Zhang Zhiwen naturally did not intend to talk about cultivating immortals. This matter was no different from thunder in this place. If everyone here knew that they could cultivate, there would definitely be unimaginable consequences.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen shirked that he was not an immortal, but just learned some skills to slay demons and exorcise monsters.

"So that's it, that young master Zhang is really both civil and military, I admire him!"

Chen Jifeng seemed to believe it more. Obviously, there were people practicing martial arts in this world, and Zhang Zhiwen's behavior seemed to be the same, but Zhang Zhiwen seemed to know some moves to slay demons and exorcise monsters, which was the scope that Chen Jifeng could understand.

He had seen some so-called Taoist priests who could slay demons and monsters, and their moves seemed similar to Zhang Zhiwen's. They held a peach wood sword, asked the gods to possess their bodies, and then showed their divine power, so it was no problem for them to slay monsters. They also had some talismans that could be ignited and transformed into some strange Taoist magic. Of course, the Taoist magic here was completely different from the Taoist magic that Zhang Zhiwen practiced. They were just some trivial tricks.

However, when Zhang Zhiwen said this, Chen Jifeng and his daughter became more convinced. The people in this place also knew how to practice martial arts, but they did not have the method of cultivating immortals, and there seemed to be no magic medicines or herbs in this place. Wait for these things.

Otherwise, these people must have discovered it long ago, but there is no such thing here. Their improvement in cultivation relies entirely on their pure spiritual bodies to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even if they are like this, they can actually achieve foundation building in a short period of time. Cultivation, this is simply unimaginable.

Therefore, when the old man Qin Huaixing saw that Chen Jifeng and his daughter knew nothing about cultivating immortals, he was extremely horrified. He couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zhiwen, but Zhang Zhiwen did not say a word or show his expression. He was so sensible that he didn't ask anything.

Therefore, this place is very strange, and anyone who comes out here is a genius in cultivating immortals. This is an even weirder place, but these people are obviously trapped in this place, and they have no idea what the outside world is like. , in their eyes, they only know everything in this world.

In this way, the night passed without much happening, and Chen Jifeng and his daughter invited Zhang Zhiwen and the old man Qin Huaixing to set off for Wangfengling together.

Soon, the five people left the abandoned temple. They came out of the back door and found a remote path. They walked down the path. It seemed that the abandoned temple was still built on the mountain. As we went down, the fog seemed to gradually dissipate a lot. In this wilderness, there were sounds of wild beasts everywhere, and there were no people coming and going. It was just Zhang Zhiwen and the five of them walking in this wilderness.

If he could fly, Zhang Zhiwen would have flown to the sky to see what this place was like. However, he couldn't fly, and he couldn't even climb higher mountains. Some of the rules in this place are extremely weird, just like the restrictions on the boundaries of Prince Zhao's Mansion. .

But soon, Zhang Zhiwen and others went down the mountain. After going down the mountain, the environment seemed to be better. They also saw a small river. Along the path beside the river, everyone continued to walk forward. After about an hour of wading through mountains and rivers, gradually Yes, we saw some relatively open areas ahead.

Not long after, Zhang Zhiwen and others came to an official road. The official road was slightly wider and could accommodate two carriages walking through. At this time, some people began to appear in their field of vision. .

These people are either woodcutters cutting firewood, farmers, or traveling traders carrying various things. People come and go, but they are quite popular.

Zhang Zhiwen checked briefly and found that many people here were in the Qi Refining stage, and almost no foundation-building cultivation was seen. Obviously, although the people here are all innate spiritual bodies, their spiritual bodies also have different levels. Those who are different, such as Chen Jifeng and his daughter, their spiritual bodies are obviously more powerful, so Chen Jifeng's two daughters, Chen Wanting and Chen Wanfeng, are not very old, but they have already reached the foundation building level.

"Mr. Zhang, if we walk a few steps further, there will be a pavilion in front of us where we can rest."

Chen Jifeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

It seemed that he was still a little tired after walking on the mountain road for an hour or two, and so were Chen Wanting and Chen Wanfeng. They were both panting and sweating profusely.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhiwen couldn't help but feel curious. He had already reached the foundation-building level, so why was it so laborious to walk such a small distance?

He looked back at the old man Qin Huaixing. The old man didn't sweat at all and walked down easily. Although the old man's original cultivation should be Jindan cultivation, now the old man Qin Huaixing is only the top of the first level of Qi refining stage. The monks at the bottom.

But even so, the old man Qin Huaixing is not tired at all. His body should not be too strong, and the old man Qin Huaixing has been imprisoned for decades, so he is much stronger than Chen Jifeng and his daughter.

When the old man Qin Huaixing saw this scene, he also looked at Zhang Zhiwen. Zhang Zhiwen still didn't say anything more, and the old man Qin Huaixing didn't say much either.

In this way, under the guidance of Chen Jifeng, everyone quickly came to a pavilion and stopped.

This pavilion is built next to the official road, and many people come here to cool down and rest. They all look no different from ordinary people, just like the situation Zhang Zhiwen encountered when he was secular. The owner of the pavilion is an old man who is half a century old. He greeted Zhang Zhiwen and others to take their seats while pouring tea for others.

"Oh, the weather is getting hotter and hotter!"

"No, if this continues, the few acres of land I have at home will not be able to bear it!"

"Yeah, it hasn't been this hot in previous years, but it's so hot this year. It's almost too hot to drive."

…

People resting around were discussing the weather this year, and Zhang Zhiwen listened casually. This kind of thing is not a rare thing. Compared with his hometown, which suffers from drought every year, it is much better here. At least there is still something in front of him. a river.

It's just that these people are all in the Qi refining stage, but they are still afraid of heat, which really makes Zhang Zhiwen a little puzzled.

"Mr. Zhang, if we walk a little further for half a day, we can reach Wangfengling. Then you must come to my brother's house no matter what."

Chen Jifeng invited Zhang Zhiwen to his brother's house again. Zhang Zhiwen nodded and agreed. Because at present, this place is very large. He doesn't know where the exit is. He can't go back from the original position. He doesn't know if the original position is still there. Even if it is, it will be a dead end. There are a lot of guards waiting to deal with him and the old man Qin Huaixing.

The only way for them now is to reach the palace through this secret realm. This is the only feasible way. Moreover, at present, the danger level here is not as dangerous as the territory of the Zhaowang Mansion outside.

The territory of the Zhaowang Mansion is a place where you can be scared at every step. If you are not careful, you will be targeted, and then it will be endless. It may even force Zhang Zhiwen to use his best skills to resolve the crisis.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen must choose to see the situation in this place first, and then find a chance to leave this place. When the old man Qin Huaixing saw that Zhang Zhiwen agreed to go to Wangfengling, he naturally didn't say much. He obviously listened to Zhang Zhiwen's arrangements.

"Hey, something happened ahead!"

"Hurry up, go check it out!"

"Ah? What happened?"

...

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the pavilion, and many people stood up upon hearing the noise, and then more and more people ran forward, which surprised Zhang Zhiwen.

"Mr. Zhang, let's go check it out too?"

Chen Jifeng was very polite to Zhang Zhiwen now, and he actually had to ask Zhang Zhiwen's opinion before doing anything like this. Zhang Zhiwen nodded and stood up, and he also wanted to check what had happened suddenly.

Soon, Zhang Zhiwen and others followed everyone forward, and then they saw many people standing in the woods across the river, seemingly watching something.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwen waded over, and Chen Jifeng and others followed, and then Zhang Zhiwen saw what had happened here after crossing the crowd.

It turned out that someone had died here.

In the secular world, if someone dies, it is definitely a big deal. It seems to be the same here, but the bodies here are not those of adults. They are all babies. Moreover, the babies' heads were pried open and their brains were all missing. It looks extremely scary.

"Oh my God, who did this?"

"This is definitely not something a human can do. This must be something a monster did, right?"

"Yes, it must be something a monster did!"

"It's over, it's over. If there are monsters in this area, what should we do tonight?"

...

Everyone began to panic. Obviously, they knew that this was something done by monsters. If such a brutal monster appeared in this area, how could everyone spend the night outside peacefully?

Even Chen Jifeng's face changed drastically.
