Heaven's Way, Heaven's Pride

"Did you hear that the useless spirit signed up for this test again?"

"Yeah, I wonder who is the lucky one this time. Is meeting him a purely free promotion?"

"That's right, I don't know if this guy has a tendency to be abused. He is such an indomitable guy!"

Lin Zheng listened to the whispers around him indifferently, or it would be more appropriate to call it an open noise. However, besides remaining indifferent and indifferent, Lin Zheng could not say anything to others' pointing fingers, so he had to speed up and leave far away.

Looking at the high mountains in the distance, Lin Zheng sat quietly on the edge of the cliff where the valley bottom could not be seen. Lin Zheng lay on his back, looking at the white clouds slowly passing by in the sky, and suddenly said: "Old man, now that we are here , just come out!”

Suddenly, a wretched old man wearing a green Taoist robe appeared next to Lin Zheng. The old man looked haggard, with wrinkles piled up on his face, looking like a blooming chrysanthemum. He stood staggeringly, with one hand constantly touching his armpit and crotch. Scratching around, his eyes were cloudy, but deep down there was an indescribable clarity...

In fact, when Lin Zheng first met this wretched old man, he carefully saw the sparkle in the old man's eyes and thought that the old man was an expert hermit in the world of games. However, he later found out that he had remembered it wrong, and how wrong it was. ..

"Yeah? Boy, your spiritual awareness has improved again. Come with me to go treasure hunting this time. I found a treasure place."

"Come on, old man, do you think I will still believe you? Ever since you first lied to me to go to the treasure land, but actually peeped on the female disciples of the sect taking a bath, I swore that I would never trust you again. You gave up on this idea. Well, this time you just talked about the iron tree blooming and the water flowing back, and it was useless. And every time you were discovered, you ran away in advance, leaving me to take the blame!" Lin Zheng gritted his teeth bitterly and looked at the trembling thighs in front of him. said the old man who was laughing at himself.

The wretched old man didn't feel the slightest embarrassment, he just kept looking at Lin Zheng, carefully read it from beginning to end, and then he chuckled and left without saying a word.

Lin Zheng jumped up from the ground. Every time the old man looked at him like this, he felt crazy, as if his skinny fingers were touching him all over his body. Especially since the old man would smile every time. After so many times, Lin Zheng felt crazy every time, wondering if there was something wrong with the old man's orientation.

Lin Zheng left the top of the mountain and returned to his house along the path in the mountain. Naturally, he was indispensable with the pointing of his classmates on the way. When he opened the door, a small house of less than 20 square meters appeared in front of him. Lin Zheng sat on the bed and fell into meditation. , running the technique again and again, every time when reaching the first-level level, the spiritual energy always disappeared inexplicably. After again to no avail, Lin Zheng lay back on the bed with a wry smile, and slowly regained his energy. As if feeling a slight increase in his spiritual sense, Lin Zheng smiled helplessly and slowly clenched his fists, but could not feel the slightest increase in his spiritual power.

It has been three years since Lin Zheng came to the sect, but he still has not broken through to the first level. Let me first say that the sect that Lin Zheng belongs to is an unknown sect on the Yunhuang Continent. Warriors are divided into ten levels. The first level is the junior level, and those who span ten levels are The product is a saint, and above it is the broken void, crossing the holy product, breaking the void and becoming a god.

However, subconsciously, Lin Zheng was very disdainful of this, and there was ridicule in the dark, as if he was disapproving of Lin Zheng's hierarchies, or simply indifferent. Lin Zheng came from a small village. According to the old people in the village, they were all descendants of the Bai clan. As for where the Bai clan they said came from, no one told him. As for where he came from, his No one in the village mentioned who his parents were or whether he had any brothers or sisters. They just gave him a weird smile that made Lin Zheng's hair stand on end. Lin Zheng felt that he was the only normal person in the village. Because of his extraordinary spiritual awareness, he would notice that every time the people in the village mentioned the ancient times, he would feel a hint of familiarity. Trembling, everyone did not hide the invisible pride at this time, as if they were born and existed forever.

Lin Zheng learned from people outside the village that this is not an ancient era. Times are changing, and years are rushing. More than ten thousand years have passed in the ancient era. Occasionally, he will hear about an old antique from a house that can break the destiny. The day is shattered and the void is gone. , or what kind of deeds the outstanding disciples of the younger generation from a certain family are walking around the mainland, or a certain holy land has recruited talents that are rare in a hundred years, or the rise and fall of a certain country, and all kinds of collected information, Lin Zheng finally Learn something about the world.

In normal times, Lin Zheng would work with the people in the village, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Only at this time did the people in the village act like an ordinary village. Until the people in the village sent him to the village three years ago. The sect from the mountain came and repeatedly told him to participate in the annual assessment. No matter what, he could not come down the mountain after three years, so he left Lin Zheng on the mountain to fend for himself.

Lin Zheng's sect has an assessment every year. The assessment is divided into three levels. The first level and the second level are to find items in the vast mountains with a radius of thousands of miles. The items are placed by the elders in the sect. Find the promotion items and spend time in the mountains. After ten days, you will be qualified, and then the third level of assessment will be conducted, where the disciples in the sect will compete against each other. The winner who finally passes the three levels will receive rewards from the sect, including elixirs, techniques, and enviable equipment.

With his extraordinary spiritual awareness, Lin Zheng was able to pass the first two tests with a first-grade cultivation level. However, in the third test, because of his first-grade strength, Lin Zheng had no capital to fight for. As for Lin Zheng himself, he had no chance this time. No confidence.

As for why he couldn't break through, Lin Zheng didn't know the reason at all. Regardless of his aptitude and fundamentals, Lin Zheng was a genius, but his failure to break through also gave Lin Zheng the title of First Grade Wasted Spirit.

In fact, there is another question that has troubled Lin Zheng for a long time. Lin Zheng only has a memory of a little more than three years. Lin Zheng has no impression of the previous memory. He asked many people in the village but did not get an answer. He just got the same answer as usual. A weird smile. Before going up the mountain, he asked an old fortune teller in the village. The old man answered him for the first time with a strange smile: "Three years later, the three-life stone will appear in reincarnation."

Then the people in the village seemed to have forgotten him and never went up the mountain to see Lin Zheng. Fortunately, Lin Zheng had been accompanied by the wretched old man in the past few years and was not lonely. In fact, Lin Zheng would rather wait alone for three years than to do this. The wretched old man pestered him every day. Outsiders could not imagine that this old man was everywhere, and whenever Lin Zheng wanted to calm down and practice, this wretched old man would appear, causing unavoidable trouble.

Thinking of this, Lin Zheng got up smartly. Every time he finished meditating, the old man would show up on time. This was not because Lin Zheng was inspired by something detached, but because he had been performing continuously every day for three years, which had formed Lin Zheng's habit.

Lin Zheng cursed the wretched old man while opening the door and waiting for his arrival, hoping that there would be no trouble this time. Sure enough, the old man appeared after not waiting long. It seemed that no one was following the old man this time. Didn't the old man cause trouble to the female cultivators in the sect this time? Lin Zheng muttered to himself as he closed the door.

"Tell me, old man, what's the trouble this time?" Lin Zheng reached the table and poured a glass of water, and asked calmly.

"You bastard, am I the kind of person who runs away when I'm in trouble?" The old man sat leaning on a chair and looked at Lin Zheng with squinted eyes.

Lin Zheng nodded firmly, and then said: "Old man, after this promotion, I will leave anyway. You should take good care of yourself, and don't provoke the female disciples in the sect if you have nothing to do. I won’t be able to take the blame for you anymore.”

The old man was hesitant, and then walked around the room for a few times, then stood up suddenly, changed his face from the past, and said slowly in Lin Zheng's surprised eyes: "Boy, do you think I have been just a simple person in the past three years?" Stay on this mountain?" Then he stood still in the middle of the room.

Lin Zheng looked at the old man sitting there quietly, as if he saw a man in green robes in the vast sky and earth. He looked up at the sky quietly, but it was as if he were looking at ants. There was no living thing around, but it seemed as if everything was moving toward him. He bows his head, is he arrogant? No, it’s not this feeling, it’s domineering, as if the world respects this man. The dim sky gradually condenses, as if a familiar face appears. Familiar, yes, as if familiarity is engraved in the heart. I saw the man in green robes. , slowly stretched out his hand toward the sky and shook it hard, and then pulled down, as if he was trying to pull the sky down. All day long, the sky seemed to be slowly being grasped by an invisible hand, and the distance between heaven and earth began to gradually become closer. A trace of fear appeared on the huge empty face, and then it turned ferocious, as if it was shouting something. Then the man punched lightly, and the whole world instantly shattered like ice, leaving only the man standing in the chaos.

Suddenly, the man pulled up, and a huge crack appeared in the chaos. When the figure of the man in green robes completely disappeared into the void, an intermittent and inaudible voice came from Lin Zheng's ears: "...I'm with you, you. Comrade-in-arms, I am the overlord, and I am back..."

The scene flashed by like lightning, and when Lin Zheng came back to his senses, the old man had already left. Lin Zheng tried hard to recall the fragments from the scene just now. What was going on with that huge face in the sky? Is the man in blue clothes and green robe a wretched old man? Who is going to return? Is the old man a bully? What happened in Taikoo? Why are there no ancient legends now?

What is the reason for all this? Lin Zheng was thinking distressedly, but still had no clue.

Forget it, let's not think about it. Anyway, the people in the village told themselves that the three-year deadline would be coming soon, and everything they wanted to know would be answered by then.

Thinking of this, Lin Zheng went back to the bed and lay down, putting his hands behind his head. Suddenly he felt a smooth feeling of satin. With a smooth pull, he saw a piece of women's underwear in front of him. It was clean and seemed to have a hint of girlish body. Fragrant, but there is a black handprint at the bottom. It seems to be the masterpiece of the old man!

Lin Zheng secretly hated it. This old man seemed to have caused a lot of trouble again. He had to destroy this thing quickly, otherwise he would cause trouble sooner or later. Based on the countless tragic experiences before, this time would definitely be no exception.

Lin Zheng jumped off the bed, grabbed his underwear, wrapped it casually with a piece of rags, and ran out in a hurry. Lin Zheng secretly hated himself. One day, when he had the ability to catch the old man, he would definitely beat him up. He once used it to thank him for taking such "care" of him over the past three years!
