Chapter Seventy-One: The Fellows Meet
At the intersection of spring and summer, the mountains are full of green leaves and flowers.
The valley is sparsely populated with trees, which provides a good environment for the flowers and plants that fill the valley to grow.
When I got here, Linglong liked it at a glance.
So Zhang Jing decided to stay here for a while and enjoy this fragrant and colorful beauty.
It had been more than a month since they left Yuehua City, and since they left the small village, they had not chosen to pass through a place where there were people along the way.
This is Penglai Immortal Venerable's proposal, he said that staying away from the world and away from the hustle and bustle is conducive to Zhang Jing's breakthrough.
Now that you've decided to stay here for a while, you can't sleep in the open anymore.
Building a temporary dwelling is very simple for several overhaulers.
After the temporary residence was built, Zhang Jing thought about going out to hunt some ingredients and coming back.
What made Zhang Jing feel inexplicable was that Penglai Immortal Venerable, who had never been involved in these things, said for the first time that he wanted to go with him.
Just go, Zhang Jing didn't think much about it, he thought that the old man just wanted to go out for a walk.
After entering the forest and tracking the prey, Zhang Jing looked very professional.
Penglai Immortal Venerable followed behind Zhang Jing without saying a word, watching him hunt the beast.
It wasn't until he entered the depths of the forest that Zhang Jing hit a rabbit.
This is not an orc forest, so there are not many beasts.
Looking at Zhang Jing, who was packing up his prey, Penglai Immortal Venerable suddenly asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Huh? What does the master mean? ”
Zhang Jing was confused by Penglai Immortal Venerable's sudden questioning, and after a moment of doubt, he casually asked back.
"Honestly, who the hell are you? What is the purpose of approaching our master and apprentice? ”
Penglai Immortal Venerable had a serious face and continued to question Zhang Jing.
"Master, what do you want to ask? I do not quite understand. ”
After the initial confusion, Zhang Jing had already guessed why Penglai Immortal Venerable asked such a question at this moment, but he still chose to pretend to be confused.
Since the old man doesn't show his mouth, he won't choose to expose it first.
"Ming people don't say secret words, I ask you a few questions, and you have to answer them honestly."
Seeing that the sudden question did not have the expected effect, Penglai Immortal Venerable asked in a soothing tone.
"Master, please ask, as long as I know, I will know everything and say everything."
Zhang is sincere and makes a commitment immediately.
"Good. Let me ask you, you said that King Yingzheng of Qin saw it from a book, so which book did you read it from? ”
Penglai Immortal Venerable went straight in and asked the key question.
Since the last time Zhang Jing said about King Yingzheng of Qin, he was extremely shocked in his heart, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally found an opportunity to ask today.
"I want to answer this question later, I want to ask the master a question first, I don't know if it's okay?"
Zhang Jing did not answer, but proposed to let Penglai Immortal Venerable answer one of his own questions first.
"Just ask."
Penglai Immortal Venerable thought for a moment and agreed to Zhang Jing's request.
"I once saw a story in the book, saying that King Yingzheng of Qin assigned a Taoist to go to sea to seek immortal medicine in order to seek immortality, but this Taoist never returned after going to sea, has the master ever heard this story?"
Zhang Jing continued to test this historical rumor, if Penglai Immortal Venerable was really the one, then the truth could basically surface.
"Hahaha! It seems that you really are from that place as well. ”
Hearing what Zhang Jing said, Penglai Xianzun laughed, he knew that Zhang Jing should be from the same place as himself.
"Well, it seems that my expectations are good, Shizun is really the big man who took boys and girls to sea."
Although he had already been mentally prepared, after Penglai Immortal Venerable's identity was confirmed, Zhang Jing was still shocked.
"Alright, let's stop playing dumb riddles and talk about it openly."
Now that the matter is clear, there is nothing to hide. The two of them simply found a stone and sat down to talk slowly.
"What happened after Shizun went to sea? How did you get here? Zhang Jing asked.
"Hehe, in order to take refuge, I lied that I could find the elixir of life, so I took a large number of people to the sea. At that time, I really wanted not to go back, and I wouldn't be able to live if I went back anyway. ”
Penglai Xianzun smiled and talked about the reason and plan for going to sea at the beginning.
"The first time I was able to successfully cross east, one is full of faith, and the other is luck. But this second time I went out, my mood was completely different, and my luck was really bad. ”
Speaking of this, Penglai Immortal Venerable seemed to fall into memory, Zhang Jing waited for a while, but did not see him speak.
"Less than half a month after we went to sea, we encountered strong winds, and the boat we were on was carried to the depths of the sea. Everyone, including me, can only wait to die after being cut off from food and water. ”
Penglai Immortal Venerable finally spoke, and a painful look appeared on his face, which showed how deeply this experience touched him.
"Watching them die one by one, my heart hurts. I don't know if God had mercy on me, or if I was deliberately tortured, everyone died in front of me, but I was the only one who was left to last. ”
The more Penglai Immortal Venerable spoke, the more painful his expression became.
"Master, it's been so long, and you've been tortured, so you don't have to blame yourself anymore."
Looking at the appearance of Penglai Immortal Venerable, Zhang Jing comforted her.
"yes, it's been thousands of years."
Zhang Jing's comfort worked, and after Penglai Immortal Venerable sighed lightly, his expression became a little lighter.
"Everyone is dead, and I'm on the verge of dying. In the last moments of waiting for death to come, the celestial phenomena suddenly changed. First a cloud of aura condensed spiritual mist appeared, and then a white light lit up, enveloping me, and my consciousness became blurred until I finally fell unconscious. By the time I came to my senses, I had already arrived at this immortal star. ”
Penglai Immortal Venerable told about the process of coming to Xianxing, which was basically similar to Zhang Jing's original experience.
"It seems that the way we came to Xianxing is the same." Zhang Jing said.
"When I first came here, I had a suspicion that this was an illusory world, a place that people can only reach after they die. But a few years after coming to Xianxing, I began to get in touch with cultivation, and I realized that this place was not nothingness, but a different world that was completely different from the world we were in before. ”
Penglai Xianzun told his initial mental journey in Xianxing, and sighed.
"You also tell us about your own experience, and let's compare them and see what the difference is."
After talking about his own affairs, Penglai Xianzun proposed to let Zhang Jing also talk about his own experience.
"My experience of coming to Xianxing is the same as that of Shizun, except that before you were brought here, you were on the verge of dying without food and water, and I was terminally ill and on the verge of death."
After analyzing the experiences of the two, Zhang Jing came to such a conclusion.
"Is it only the dying who will be brought here?" Penglai Immortal Venerable was puzzled in his heart.
"There is a possibility, but whether the specific reason is this or not, I don't know now." Zhang Jing said helplessly.
"Tell me the truth, how long have you been in Xianxing?"
Penglai Immortal Venerable didn't quite believe what Linglong said, after all, she said that it had only been a few years since Zhang Jing rebuilt.
If what Linglong said is true, then it indirectly means that Zhang Jing has only been in Xianxing for a few years.
This is indeed a bit sensational, after all, Zhang Jing is now a cultivator of the Great Perfection Realm of the Merge Period.
"Until today, I have been coming to Xianxing for more than three years, and I will not deceive you in this matter."
Zhang Jing told the truth, with a serious and sincere expression.
"Hey, people can't be compared, a few years before I came to Xianxing, I didn't achieve anything. Even if he came into contact with cultivation later, it took decades to advance to the Mahayana realm. You kid has reached where you are today in just a few years, ashamed, ashamed! ”
Penglai Immortal Venerable let out a long sigh after confirming that Zhang Jing had cultivated to such a cultivation within a few years.
"Master doesn't have to be presumptuous, in fact, I can have today's achievements, there is a lot of luck, and the most important point is the help of Sister Linglong."
Zhang Jing didn't want to deceive Penglai Immortal Venerable, let alone deceive herself.
The reason why the path of cultivation is smooth is basically because of Linglong.
"Even if she can help you, it's limited, and you don't have to be too humble."
Through today's exchange, Penglai Immortal Venerable not only knew that Zhang Jing was from the same place as himself, but also had a deeper understanding of Zhang Jing, and at this moment, he began to appreciate and like this young man.
"Master, this is really not self-humility. Although I also think that I have some abilities, there is no doubt that Sister Linglong's help is immense. ”
Zhang Jing once again emphasized that Linglong helped her very much.
"Then tell me how she helped you."
Penglai Immortal Venerable was interested, so he had to talk about it in Zhang Jing.
"Ugh! Master, there are some things that are hard to talk about. ”
Zhang Jing was a little difficult to speak, after all, the other half of the incident was not only his wife, but also the beloved apprentice in front of him.
