Chapter Ten Zhang Feared Descending the Mountain

  Zhang's face turned pale, this is too abnormal, who came up with it? However, the things in his brain were so tortured that he couldn't help but become strong. Zhang forced a bitter smile, since he chose to persist, even if it meant going crazy from pain, it was better than living in shame.

  He began to practice the Divine Melody.

  The method of stabilizing the mind is relatively easy to practice, as it has some similarities with the static heart technique that I have practiced before. The difficult part is solidifying the primordial spirit.

  Normally, the yuan Shen solidification requires the completion of the Dan period to achieve, and the yuan Shen is solidified into a dan. However, Lian Shen Qu clearly surpasses the strong behavior of cultivation.

  Zhang was afraid of being careless, and completely followed Yu Jian's cultivation method. But how could the solidification of his primordial spirit be so simple? After more than a month, there was no progress at all. On the contrary, the thunderstorm made him suffer even more.

  Sometimes watching the playful little dogs, Xiaohuo, Xiaohei and Xiaohuang, running around and calling out to each other. But the three little dogs are having so much fun, they ignore him except when looking for food, making Zhang angry and scolding them as "white-eyed dogs". Suddenly an idea flashes in his mind, why not go down the mountain for a walk?

  Becoming a disciple of the Purple Light Pavilion, he can go down the mountain freely as long as he asks for leave. Zhang Pa had lived in the mountains for sixteen years, and his understanding of the world was limited to Mount Tianlei. Occasionally, when he heard his senior brothers talk about the hustle and bustle outside the mountain, it would spark his boundless imagination. Now, he finally has the opportunity to go out and take a look.

  Hongyuan asked for leave, and Hongyuan said lightly: "It's good to go out and turn around, the disciples of Ziguang Pavilion should enter the world to practice, but I advise my younger brother that after entering the world, everything is tolerant and don't make rash moves, also Don't easily believe people..."

  Hongyuan Shixiong reminded him of many things, and Zhang Pa was not annoyed at all. For the first time in his life, someone was willing to say so much to him, willing to advise and educate him. Zhang Pa thanked his Shixiong with utmost sincerity. Seeing Zhang Pa's sincere expression, Hongyuan Shixiong suddenly felt that he didn't find him as annoying as before. He secretly laughed at himself: "Alas, even after building the foundation, I still like to judge people prematurely." He took out a flying sword from his storage bag and handed it to Zhang Pa: "Don't you have a magic weapon yet? Take this to protect yourself." Zhang Pa was shocked: "This won't do, don't want it, thank you Shixiong..."

  Hongyuan didn't say a word, standing still and watching Zhangpa's frantic appearance. Zhangpa wanted to return the sword, but the air in front of Hongyuan was impenetrable, leaving him at a loss for what to do. Only then did Hongyuan smile and say: "Keep it, as a disciple of Tianlei Mountain's Ziguang Pavilion going down the mountain, not even having a single piece of magical equipment would be a loss of face for Tianlei Mountain. Besides, this sword was my magic tool during my Qi Refining stage, now that I've achieved Foundation Establishment, I no longer need it. You can return it to me when you have your own magic tool."

  Zhang hastily thanked him, and Hongyuan once again passed on to him the formula for controlling the flying sword. Finally, he reminded him: "Be careful all the way, come back early."

  Zhang Pa originally planned to go down the mountain and satisfy his wishes, but unexpectedly in Hongyuan Shixiong's mouth it became going down the mountain to practice, and he even got a flying sword, feeling both surprised and delighted.

  The next day, I got up and went to the cafeteria to eat my fill. Then, I asked for some dry rations and took three stupid dogs down the mountain. It's strange to say that these few dogs have been on the mountain for two years, but their bodies just won't grow bigger, always looking round and silly. Zhang didn't know that when he first brought the dogs up the mountain, his senior brother had placed a restriction on them, preventing them from growing any larger unless the restriction was broken. Unfortunately, Zhang's current cultivation level is too low, so he can't even sense the existence of the restriction, let alone break it.

  The sun lazily wanders in the sky, a few white clouds occasionally blocking the sunlight before quickly moving away. Under Tiantai Mountain, four figures, one big and three small, sway along the mountain path as they head down.

  A gentle breeze stirs, rustling his hair, sweeping across his cheek, making Zhang Pa feel very comfortable. For the first time, he feels that the world is so beautiful. The three little dogs had been cooped up in the small house of Ziguang Pavilion for almost two months, and now they are finally out, they must play to their heart's content, running back and forth in front of and behind Zhang Pa.

  Ten miles under the Tianlei Mountain, there is a town called Daoxian Town, which governs more than ten villages. Zhang Pa's first stop was indeed Daoxian Town. He didn't know the way, but the only main road from Tianlei Mountain led directly to the town, and it would be hard not to get there even if he wanted to.

  The town was very prosperous, this was Zhang's first impression after entering the town. Although there were tens of thousands of Tianlei Mountain Taoists, they were scattered too far apart, and since they were usually busy cultivating, there weren't many opportunities to meet each other. So Zhang was very interested in everything in the town. What he was most interested in was that he saw women.

  Zhang Pa hadn't seen a woman since he was two years old, but as soon as he entered the town, ten meters away, he was stunned by a woman on the opposite side of the street. She looked to be in her twenties, with average looks and wearing simple clothes. Zhang Pa thought she was very pretty, so he stared at her. The woman's face turned red, feeling uncomfortable all over, and scolded "Pervert!" before storming off.

  Zhang didn't know why she was angry, but thought that no matter what, it looked good, and this trip down the mountain wasn't in vain.

  Big Brother said that if you're tired from walking, there are inns where you can rest and restaurants where you can eat and drink tea. If you're lucky, you might hear rumors from people in the jianghu. Zhang Pa Four went to look for an inn and a restaurant. Just as they took two steps, the woman from just now brought some people back, with seven or eight sturdy men carrying clubs following behind her walking towards them.

  The woman saw Zhang Fei and shouted loudly: "It's him, the lecherous Taoist!" The strong man behind her quickly wielded his weapon and rushed up.

  Zhang Pa was originally timid, and now seeing many people carrying sticks to beat him, his first reaction was to cast the "Hàn Bīng Wèi Lǚ" spell to protect himself. A white light enveloped Zhang Pa tightly. Zhang Pa was still afraid, so he continued to chant incantations, and the white light flashed again, revealing a yellow light. Then, a green aura surrounded his body, adding to the two defensive spells "Dà Dì Jiǎ" and "Mù Líng Hù Tǐ".

  The robust men opposite saw the strange phenomenon frequently, were greatly shocked and lost color. Someone shouted: "It's a god!" With a thud, they knelt down to beg for mercy: "God, spare our lives." The rest of the people reacted, hastily threw away the clubs in their hands, and followed suit, bowing down. For a time, the words "God, spare our lives" were incessant.

  Zhang frowned, what's going on? Why do I have to spare my life? Thinking of explaining, but the strong men were even more afraid, so they had to use their swift wind technique and quickly escape from the town. After running far away, he suddenly remembered that there were still three small dogs, and hurried back to grab the three little guys and escape again.

  The strong men and the onlookers also stood up, seeing that the immortal had left. They let out a long sigh of relief before standing up, but soon saw the immortal return, grabbing three dogs and running away. As a result, they thought the immortal liked to eat dog meat.

  Not entering Dao Xian Town, Zhang was really unsure where he could go. Having just come down the mountain, he went in no particular direction? Forget it, he passed through the mountains.

  The Tianlei mountain range is located in the northern part of Yue State, running east-west. The Daoxian town is on the eastern side of the main peak of Tianlei Mountain, Zhang Pa passes through the mountain from north to south, and unexpectedly returns to the Tianlei mountain range again.

  After climbing a slope, further north is a dense forest. Zhang Pa stood in front of the forest, hesitating and not daring to move forward. What if there are monsters in the forest? The three little dogs didn't care about these things, they ran with their small legs, running non-stop, and even looked back at Zhang Pa, as if asking him why he wasn't following up.

  Zhang was furious in his heart and didn't believe that I wasn't even as good as a small dog, so he gritted his teeth and walked into the forest with determination.

  There was still some sunlight at the edge of the forest, but as they walked deeper in, the dense foliage blocked out most of the light, casting a chill. Zhang followed behind three small dogs, walking unevenly on the forest floor.

  The forest was vast, yet silent and still, with only the sound of one person and three dogs treading on fallen leaves. After walking for a while, the three little dogs finally felt afraid and returned to Zhang's side, sticking close to him as they walked. Zhang laughed at them: "Scared, huh? Ha ha." Completely forgetting that he himself was also afraid.

  The farther they went, the more endless the forest seemed. Zhang Pa was afraid to add a protective shield to his armor, and the three little dogs were getting tired of walking and started dragging behind, refusing to move forward. Zhang Pa simply picked them up and stuffed them into his chest. He didn't dare put them in the beast bag, as it was meant for demonic beasts, and he didn't know if the little dogs would survive inside. Fortunately, his Taoist robe was wide and large, and the three little dogs squeezed their heads through the opening, blinking their small eyes to look outside.

  Zhang Pa was extremely cautious, tightly grasping Master Hongyuan's sword, and proceeded step by step into the depths of the forest. He didn't know how long he had walked or how far he had gone, but the forest grew darker and darker, so dark that he couldn't see his own fingers when he stretched out his hand. Zhang Pa guessed it was nighttime and couldn't stop blaming himself in his heart - what was the point of being reckless? This forest seemed to have no end, who knew when he could get out?

  There's an old saying that goes, "The more you fear something, the more it will come to you." The originally quiet forest suddenly began to echo with all sorts of bird calls and beast roars. Zhang Pa was muttering to himself in his heart, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid," as he added another layer of icy armor around himself. Just as he finished casting the second shield spell, he felt a sudden jolt, as if something had bitten his head. He reached up to touch it and found that there was indeed a lot of smelly saliva on him, which he quickly wiped away. Suddenly, his butt was bitten again. Zhang Pa finally came back to his senses, realizing that there were wild beasts biting him. Terrified, he let out a loud cry, wanting to run but finding that his legs had been scared stiff and couldn't move.

  Zhang Pa was blaming himself for being useless and praying for a miracle, when he suddenly remembered that the beast couldn't bite him! His courage slowly returned, and he looked around cautiously. On his right side, there was an enormous black leopard with its head tilted, seemingly calculating how it couldn't bite Zhang Pa.

  The black leopard was even taller than himself, but fortunately it was just an ordinary wild beast and not a monster. Zhang's heart finally calmed down, and he began to slowly observe the black leopard. The three small dogs in his arms had long been frightened into hiding in his clothes, shivering with fear.

  After watching for a long time, he felt that the black leopard and the three small dogs in his arms were not much different, all with four legs and one head, just looking more ferocious. Zhang Pa took a step forward, but the black leopard was startled and retreated cautiously. Zhang Pa laughed foolishly: "Heh, you're scared too." The black leopard retreated, and he moved forward, finally provoking the black leopard to pounce again, biting his shoulder once more.

  It was a pure instinctive reaction, Zhang Pa was startled and jumped, the black leopard's speed was too fast, he couldn't even dodge? Fortunately, it was just fast and couldn't bite through the protective shield. Zhang Pa looked at the black leopard and chuckled: "Bite, bite." He stretched out his hand for it to bite.

  The black leopard apparently couldn't understand why it couldn't bite him, tilted its head to look at Zhang Pa, and finally decided to give up. Its shadow flashed and disappeared from view, running towards the depths of the forest. Zhang Pa was just getting into the game, shouting "Don't run, don't run" as he chased after the black leopard.
