Chapter Seventy-Three: The Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts
Flying south along Buyao Mountain, flying over the mountains and through the fields, Tang Zheng saw a village in the distance.
Looking down at the astrolabe, the bright spot had basically coincided with the center of the astrolabe.
In other words, Lin Baizang is in this village.
Tang Zheng did not enter immediately, but flew around the village first.
Although the method of using oneself as bait to attract Lin Baizang is good, it also has shortcomings, that is, while attracting Lin Baizang, it is likely to attract people from the Beast Refining Sect as well.
During this time, Tang Zheng and Xu Miaoran traveled together and found no less than dozens of trackers. It's a pity that although his insight can find the existence of the Cunzài lurking in the shadows, he can't even see who the other party is after all, so he doesn't know if there are any people from the Beast Refining Sect mixed in.
After searching around to confirm that no one was hiding nearby, Tang Zheng walked towards the village.
The astrolabe can only tell him that Lin Baizang is here, but it can't tell him which one is Lin Baizang, so Tang Zheng can only see it with his own eyes.
Walking in the village step by step, Tang Zheng was like a passerby.
There are not many people in the village, and many young people have already gone to the fields.
A young woman was cooing and spilling a large piece of bait to feed the chickens, several old people were standing guard at the door, gathering to talk about the shortcomings of the family, a teenager was holding a bamboo sieve and was boringly sifting rice at the door, a merchant was haggling with a villager over what he was holding, and a homeless man was lying on the ground in the middle of the village, looking as if he were dead.
In the end, there were a few villagers who resisted the hoe, standing in the corner of the village and doing nothing.
Stopping at the very center of the village, Tang Zao looked around, and finally said loudly: "I am Tang Zai, I am here to pick you up on the order of the Moon Washing Sect! Lin Baizang, you can come out." ”
The voice was not high, but it reached the ears of everyone in the village.
The villagers had shocked expressions on their faces, apparently puzzled by what had happened.
After waiting for a moment and seeing no movement, Tang Zheng sighed, came to the lying homeless man and said, "Don't waste my time anymore, Lin Baizang, I'm not your enemy." ”
The homeless man looked at Tang Zheng with some horror, and his body shrank inward.
Seeing this, Tang Zai sighed, and with a wave of his hand, the homeless man had been rolled up by him, and then Tang Zai punched out, which was actually on the ground under the homeless man.
With a soft sound, a cloud of smoke and dust rose on the ground, and the next moment I saw a figure emerge from the ground, but it was a thin middle-aged man with a roe deer's head and rat eyes.
"Lin Baizang!" Tang Zheng spat out these three words.
It turned out that this person did not mingle among the villagers at all, but hid underground, and deliberately hid under the body of a homeless man, so that the homeless man's life breath even covered his own life breath, making people more imperceptible, and even cunning.
At this moment, he was punched out by Tang Zheng, and the man who was born like a monkey looked at Tang Zheng in shock: "How did you find me?"
He has always relied on his own unique methods to escape the pursuit of the Beast Refining Sect, but he didn't expect to be easily cracked by Tang Zheng. Although there was also a reason for his deliberate guidance, it still shocked him.
Tang Zheng said slowly: "You brought me here, didn't you just play this game of hide and seek with me?"
Lin Baizang woke up like a dream, hurriedly looked around, and said, "It's not safe here, come with me." ”
As he spoke, he went back to the ground.
Tang Zheng was slightly stunned, is this to let himself go underground?
As soon as he hesitated for a moment, he saw that Lin Baizang's head appeared from the ground again, and waved his hand to Tang Zheng and said, "What are you still doing?"
Tang Zheng looked around, only to see that the surrounding villagers turned a blind eye to the qiē here, knowing that it was Lin Baizang who had cast a trick and was undoubtedly spread, so he followed Lin Baizang and jumped into the cave.
Jumping into the cave, Tang Zheng found that the underground was incomparably spacious, and a long road led straight into the distance.
Lin Baizang said: "Go, go, go!"
Saying that, he had taken the lead in rushing forward, and Tang Zheng could only follow, and the large amount of dirt behind him had healed automatically after he left, and the mouth of the cave was quickly restored, while the previous homeless man was still sleeping in place, as if this qiē had never happened.
I didn't know how far I ran with Lin Baizang, I turned around all the way, walked through countless passages, and Tang Zheng even lost his direction completely.
After walking for a while, the front suddenly opened up, and an underground stone hall appeared in front of Tang Zheng.
This stone hall is about dozens of meters in circumference, there are passages all around, there are as many as more than ten, and they extend in all directions and do not know where to go.
This Lin Baizang is really a mouse, and he actually made a maze in this underground.
There is also a column in the center of the stone hall to support, and a stone table and stone bench are placed in the first place, and some melons, fruits, wine and vegetables are placed on it. In addition, Tang Zheng noticed that there were faint traces of the arrangement of the magic circle in the stone hall, judging from the table, the level of this magic circle was very crude and the power was also very weak, but the hidden level was okay, and it should also be from Lin Baizang's handwriting.
As soon as Lin Baizang returned here, he jumped onto the stone bench above, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Whew, it's safe to get here." ”
As he spoke, he raised his glass and brought himself a glass first.
Tang Zheng saw that his expression was very different from his previous nervousness, took a closer look at the stone bench under his buttocks, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the real escape route is under your buttocks...... Interesting. ”
Lin Baizang's whole face froze: "You...... How do you know?"
There is indeed a secret passage under this stone bench, that is Lin Baizang's real escape route, and the other passages are just to cover people's ears. Unexpectedly, Tang Zheng poked his old bottom with a word, and Lin Baizang's confidence in this channel immediately decreased.
Fortunately, Tang Zheng gave him confidence again: "Guess, your concealment technique is really good, and the escape means you prepared are also fine, but you are obviously not very good at hiding your feelings." From the moment you saw me, your face was full of nervousness and panic, and it wasn't until you sat down on this stool that you regained your composure. ”
Tang Zai drew a circle on his temples with his fingers: "With a little use of your brain, you can think that you have something to rely on." ”
Lin Baizang sighed at this time, and patted his chest continuously: "So that's the case, that's good, that's good, I thought this mechanism was too simple." ”
Tang Zheng laughed dumbly when he heard this, and took a few steps forward: "You don't need to worry so much, I came this time to take you back to the Moon Washing Sect." ”
"Go back?" Unexpectedly, Lin Baizang looked at Tang Zheng and laughed: "Do you think I can still go back? Don't say it's me, do you think you can go back again?"
Tang Zheng frowned: "I know that the Beast Refining Sect is chasing you, but I ask myself if it is just some Kaizhi-level pursuers, I should still be able to deal with it." ”
"Enlightenment Level?" Lin Baizang sat on the stone bench as if he had heard some big joke: "If it's just an enlightenment level, do you think you can force me to hide in Tibet, and I don't even dare to take my head, and hide underground like a mouse every day?"
Tang Zheng's eyes shrank suddenly: "You mean that there are still Tianxin real people chasing you?"
"How is it, are you afraid?" Lin Baizang said with a smile: "I know who you Tang Zheng is, your name has spread quite widely in the Heavenly God Palace Beast Refining Sect." But no matter how powerful you are, if you can deal with enlightenment, can you still deal with real people? Even if you can deal with one real person, can you still deal with three real people, including one real person in the Demon Period?"
"Three Tianxin True People?" Even Tang Zheng was a little surprised: "What did you do, you actually asked the Labor Beast Refining Sect to send three Tianxin True People to hunt you down?"
"The three of them are fart, if it weren't for the fear of alarming the Moon Washing Sect or the Tianya Sea Pavilion, they could even send people like the True Monarch or the Seven War Beasts, but now it's only on the surface, and I don't know how many there are in the dark!" Lin Baizang jumped to his feet and shouted, he was already born thin, and he jumped and jumped on the stone bench, like a big horse monkey.
Lin Baizang's words made Tang Zheng startled: "What did you say? What did you do to make them dispatch the True Monarch? Did you kill their big shots, or did you steal their supreme treasure?"
That being said, no matter how Tang Zheng looked at Lin Baizang, he didn't look like a person who could do such a big thing. This Lao'er's realm is also the ninth transfer period, not to mention him, even if it is Tang Zheng himself, he doesn't have the ability to stir up trouble on the other party's land.
Lin Baizang was about to cry: "You're really right, I stole one of their holy relics." ”
Relic?
As soon as he heard this word, Tang Zheng's heart couldn't help but tighten.
None of the things that can be listed as holy relics by the six major factions are ordinary things, at least they must be at the level of Dao soldiers, and ordinary Dao soldiers are not qualified enough.
For example, the Seven Treasures of the Burning Heavens are definitely not included in the list of holy relics in the Seven Peerless Gates.
And now this shriveled rat Lin Baizang actually said the word holy relic, which made Tang Zheng's heart tremble.
"What holy relic?" he said.
"The Garden of Beasts. Lin Baizang lowered his head and said.
"Ten Thousand Beast Garden?" Hearing the name, Tang Zheng jumped up.
Although he knew that it was a holy relic, it was definitely not an ordinary thing, but the word Ten Thousand Beasts Garden still made Tang Zheng unable to restrain the horror in his heart.
The so-called Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, as the name suggests, is actually where the Beast Refining Gate cultivates demon beasts.
The Beast Refining Sect is named after the beast, and its greatest ability is that it can control all kinds of demon beasts for its own use, so how to cultivate powerful demon beasts has always been the top priority of the Beast Refining Sect.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Garden is a special Dao soldier created for this purpose, and its biggest role is to improve the strength of demon beasts, including the realm and the actual combat power.
There is a contribution reward in the Beast Refining Gate, that is, as long as you pay the full amount of contribution, you can send your own demon beast into the garden, and the longer the time, the more you will improve.
It can be said that the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden is the core weapon of the Beast Refining Gate, and it is precisely because of the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden that the Beast Refining Gate is the Beast Refining Gate, even if others also have the Beast Control Method, the strength of the demon beasts of the same level cannot be compared with the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden.
However, this thing can only increase the strength of monsters and spirits, and is ineffective against humans and ghosts.
Now Lin Baizang actually told him that he had stolen the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts, which was simply incredible.
Looking at Lin Baizang, Tang Zheng almost gritted his teeth and said, "You're not joking with me, are you? Can you steal the Dao soldiers? Even if that thing is put in front of your eyes and let you take it, you may not be able to take it away, right?" Also, you said that you stole the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, so where is the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden now?"
Tang Zao stretched out his hand.
Lin Baizang cried with a sad face: "How do I know where it is, this is a long story, you have to ask me how I stole it, I still don't know ......"
With Lin Baizang's narration, Tang Zheng finally understood the whole story.
Lin Baizang himself is a shadow son of the Moon Washing Sect in the Beast Refining Gate, this person's biggest ability is to steal chickens and dogs and hide their traces, which is not bad, but he is timid by nature and can't do anything big.
Because of this, his status in the Beast Refining Sect is not high, and he is only a subordinate at the lowest level.
Because he was in the Beast Refining Sect, Lin Baizang's cultivation was also the Ten Thousand Beasts Concentric Technique of the Beast Refining Sect, of course, it was only the most basic, and the Moon Washing Sect of this level of Mental Law had already existed, and there was no need for him to offer treasures. Because of this, he had a refining beast, but he was a labyrinth rat. Labyrinth rats have little combat power, but they are good at digging and burrowing, and they have a keen sense of smell, which is suitable for vigilance.
The lack of combat power and the character of a rat made Lin Bai hide in the Beast Refining Sect and not be taken seriously, but this person was not small and never gave up the idea of getting ahead.
Until one day, the opportunity finally came.
It was one day more than three months ago.
On this day, Lin Baizang finally cultivated the first layer of the Ten Thousand Beasts Concentric Technique to perfection and entered the second level, that is, he could add one more demon beast, so he decided to enter the Wind Burial Jungle to see what opportunities he could have.
If the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden is the breeding place of demon beasts, the Wind Burial Jungle is the place where the demon beasts of the Beast Refining Gate are captured. The biggest difference between the two is that the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden is a Dao soldier, while the Wind Burial Jungle is a natural forest area.
And the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts is located in the Wind Burial Jungle.
That day, Lin Baizang went all the way deep in order to find the desirable demon beast. With the help of the early warning ability of the maze rat, he also avoided most of the dangers, and entered the depths without danger all the way.
Just when he was tired, he saw a garden covering an area of hundreds of acres standing in the distance, with countless birds, beasts, insects and demons roaring and running, and there were more than ten beast refining disciples on duty in front of the main gate.
Lin Baizang knew that this was the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts.
He was envious in his heart, thinking that it would be nice if his labyrinth rat could enter it.
In fact, although the maze rat is weak, it does not necessarily mean that it cannot grow into a big demon. It is said that the labyrinth rat itself has the blood of the Sky Swallowing Rat, and the latter is a famous demon.
If the Labyrinth Rats can enter the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts, maybe they will have a chance to grow into Sky Swallowers?
At that time, this thought involuntarily appeared in Lin Baizang's mind.
Originally, this thought was just a flash, and Lin Baizang didn't have any idea.
Just as he continued to go deeper along the edge of the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, an iron-backed eagle suddenly flew over his head, and the hurricane that blew up even lifted Lin Baizang's heel. The sudden appearance of the demon eagle frightened Lin Baizang, and he thought that someone had released the beast to harm him, but he looked left and right and saw no one.
Just as he was surprised, another demon fox suddenly ran past him.
This time, Lin Baizang saw clearly that the demon beast actually ran out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden.
"You said that the demon beast ran out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Yes, yes!" Lin Baizang nodded again and again, and replied with his hands dancing: "I looked in the direction where the demon fox ran out, only to find that the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden had broken a hole at some point!"
"How is this possible?" Tang Zheng was stunned by this statement.
Is this a joke?
"Oh, I think it's weird too, but that's just the way it is. The Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts was originally transformed by Taoist soldiers, and the surrounding land was fixed in the form of a formation and locked into an independent space. But there are still spatial cracks in the heavens and ten thousand worlds, why can't there be magic circles? Then for some reason, a crack appeared in the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden. ”
"And then?" Tang Zheng asked.
"And then ......," Lin Baizang's voice lowered.
After that, things are simple.
Seeing a crack appear in the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, Lin Baizang realized that this was his chance.
Obsessed with ghosts, he tried in vain to penetrate the crack of guò into the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden in order to improve the strength of his own demon rat.
And it's not just the labyrinth, it's he himself—and he's counting on himself to break the myth that the Garden of All Beasts is ineffective against people.
So after entering the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts, Lin Baizang wandered around all the way, hoping to find something and get some kind of adventure.
It turned out to be something for him to discover.
It was a stone tablet in the center of the Garden of Beasts.
The stele is engraved with the word "town"!
Looking at the town word, Lin Baizang sincerely felt that there was a terrifying power under this stone stele.
He didn't know what power it was, but greed made him forget a bit of fear.
A voice shouted in his head: Pull it out!
So he stepped forward and pulled out the stele with all his might.
The stele was very heavy, and Lin Baizang couldn't pull it out.
However, at that moment, a golden light suddenly appeared from under the stone stele, and Lin Baizang felt that the stone tablet in his hand was obviously lighter.
Lin Baizang, who was overjoyed, used all his strength to really pull out the stone stele.
That's when the shock happened.
At the same time that Lin Baizang pulled out the stele, the golden light under the stele bloomed, instantly filling the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Garden.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Garden trembled with a bang, and it actually flew into the air.
This scared Lin Baizang a lot, and then he finally knew that he was in trouble and hurriedly wanted to leave.
But just when he was about to leave, he realized that he couldn't leave. There is a large array in the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts, and I don't know when, this large array has been opened, and the entire Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts is already in crisis.
At the same time, the movement of the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden also made those duty disciples panic, they tried to close the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, and tried all kinds of efforts, but in the end they failed, and they could only watch it fly away like this.
"Then how did you escape?" asked Tang Zai.
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Lin Baizang's face: "At that time, the Great Array of the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden had been opened, and I was already going to die for myself. I didn't expect all the demon beasts to roar at the same time. At that time, the disciples of the Beast Refining Sect had already begun to forcibly close the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, but the demon beasts seemed to have wisdom at the same time, and they actually rushed towards the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden together, becoming my pioneers. I just ran out in the tide of beasts. ”
Tang Zheng said: "Did they eat you?"
Lin Baizang smiled awkwardly: "Most of those demon beasts are beast refining beasts, and they have been following humans for a long time, and I am a disciple of the beast refining sect, so they didn't eat me." ”
Tang Zai said coldly: "But you didn't have a waist card." ”
Lin Baizang was stunned for a moment, and then said half-loudly: "Maybe it's my luck." Anyway, those demon beasts didn't eat me, but they helped me escape from the Ten Thousand Beasts Park, and after I ran out, a demon beast wanted to eat me, but fortunately, at that time, a disciple of the Beast Refining Sect found out about the movement here and rushed over. As a result, I didn't die, but I exposed my ......"
"And then?"
"Later, of course, I ran away. Fortunately, the flight of the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts caused countless people to panic and try to stop it, and I was good at escaping, which gave me the opportunity to escape. After escaping from the Wind Burial Forest, I learned that the people from the Beast Refining Sect were looking for me everywhere, and even found out my details, knowing that I was a member of the Moon Washing Sect, so I sent a large number of people to block the road to Wenxin. I had no choice but to flee to sea, and they chased me all the way. ”
"Then how did you end up in the middle of the sea?"
"Because the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts is flying here. Lin Baizang replied confidently, feeling that he had not given up on the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts. Thinking about it, now the people of the Beast Refining Sect unanimously believe that he stole the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, if he doesn't want to find a way to get his hands on the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, how can he be willing.
Tang Zheng was taken aback: "What did you say?
At that moment, what Shen Qingdan had said to him flashed in his mind.
Suddenly, he understood that what someone wanted Shen Qingdan to open was not the Immortal Family Palace at all, but the Immortal Family Garden!
"Yes!" Lin Baizang nodded again and again: "If it weren't for this thing, I wouldn't have known that the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden was in the end of the sea." ”
As he spoke, he had taken out an object, and it was a stone tablet.
A big word on the book:
"Town!"
A desolate atmosphere came from this stone tablet, and at that moment looking at this stone tablet, Tang Zheng seemed to have seen the desolate and distant years.
Looking at this stone tablet, Tang Zheng suddenly realized: "It turns out that what they are chasing you is this, this is the treasure of the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, without this thing, the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden will lose control." ”
At that moment, he suddenly understood something, and shouted: "Did you lose the breath of the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden after chasing Tianhe Island?
"Huh, how do you know?" Lin Baizang said in surprise: "That's right, I chased here, and the stone tablet no longer showed the location of the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, and I was forced to stay on this island." Later, the people from the Beast Refining Gate chased after me, and I couldn't get out, so I could only sit and die, and now no one knows where the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden is!"
Gently picking up the stele, Tang Zai said:
"No, I know where it is...... It is on Leshan Island. ”
