The Collection of The End

——AD 155——

Just like the feeling of "teleporting" into the trial venue, Zhang Jiao found that he had reappeared in the living room of the luxurious mansion with just a blink of an eye. His clothes were intact, his injuries were fully recovered, and the medicine basket was at his feet, but The broken armor and other scattered items obtained in "Illusion" were not brought out.

If we talk about the difference from before entering, it is that there are three more volumes of heavenly books in the hand, and the pointed staff is cut off like a knife and an axe.

In addition, the looks from the two "immortals" Zuo Ci and Yu Ji also changed from "ignoring" to "unkind", and the atmosphere in the living room became stagnant for a while.

"You two don't have to think about snatching it. Now that "The Art of Taiping" is in his hands, only he can read it. Even if others take it, they can only see a blank." Lin Hao, who was holding the snow-white animal, spoke up. Breaking this stagnation.

"Oh, a poor man would never do anything to rob others of their opportunities." Yu Ji shook his fly whisk, "However, for a three-year-old child to hold gold in the market, I'm afraid it's not a blessing."

"It's not just a young man who talks too much, but this scholar has no cultivation qualifications. When the Book of Heaven falls in his hands, it will be like a pearl cast in secret." Zuo Ci also said.

After confirming that force is ineffective, do you start to use words to attack each other? Zhang Jiao listened without hearing, lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"Any 'skill' in the Heavenly Book is allowed to be taught to others, but after that, you will not be able to practice it yourself. Similarly, if you have learned a certain 'skill', you cannot teach it again." Lin Hao added.

This is a limited protection for the holders of the Book of Heaven, Zhang Jiao thought. Even if someone wants to rob it, he must leave his life behind.

However, now that we have this opportunity, if we don’t work hard and instead rely on protection, how could it be the husband’s fault?

"I want to study this book, but I don't know where the guest room is?" Zhang Jiao ignored Zuo Ci and Yu Ji and asked Lin Hao.

"Well, you can choose to live in any house here. Don't worry about bumping into me. I'm not on the same level as you." After saying that, the fairy woman and the little fairy beast disappeared into the breeze at the same time.

Level... Zhang Jiao judged the meaning of this word and looked thoughtfully out the window at the huge tree crown that blocked the sky.

Because of Lin Hao's words before leaving, the two Taoists didn't look good. Yu Ji flicked his sleeves and left the living room, while Zuo Ci paused in front of Zhang Jiao when he left: "If you can't repair even one , Xiaosheng is willing to exchange his cultivation method for some 'skills'."

"Thank you, Taoist Master Zuo, for your kindness." Zhang Jiao just handed over his hand but did not express his position.

Although he has not read it yet, Zhang Jiao guessed that most of the books on Heavenly Escape contain extremely powerful and earth-shattering methods with extremely demanding training conditions, so neither path is interested in them, while the Book on Earthly Escape should not be very powerful, but it has clear meanings. Yu Ji should have the conditions to practice the techniques with the characteristics of immortals, but Zuo Ci is still a little behind. As for the Book of Human Escape, it contains a large number of small techniques that can be used in front of others at will. Even oneself can master it.

So, after Yu Ji and Zuo Ci left one after another, Zhang Jiao carried his medicine basket, picked up two broken staffs, and left the living room with three volumes of heavenly books, intending to find a relatively secluded guest room.

Since he had gone directly to the living room when he entered before and did not take a closer look at the manor, Zhang Jiao realized at this time that it was more "fairy" than he expected. Many exquisite houses and courtyards are located between the running water and the small lake. The "islands" are covered with lush vegetation and are connected by strips of white jade-like stone water corridors.

When he was wondering why there were no servants in the manor, he saw a broom that he was cleaning... It was indeed the residence of a fairy.

————

Zhang Jiao successfully found a secluded guest room in the corner of the manor. However, since the woman who claimed to be the South China Old Immortal did not seem to live in the manor, all rooms were guest rooms except for the residences of Yu Ji and Zuo Cixuan.

As for those two Taoist priests who came from nowhere but were quite capable, Zhang Jiao felt that if he didn't master some immortal skills, he would be in trouble.

It's better not to meet them.

After burning incense and taking a bath - the guest room was fully equipped with relevant supplies, Zhang Jiao solemnly began to read the three volumes of the heavenly book.

With some luck, he first opened the book of escape, and on the blank silk surface, vertical words were displayed one by one.

"[The fourteenth method of Tiangang, knowing the future against the odds: you can designate someone or something, and know its situation before and after a certain period of time through calculation. Taiyi Sanxian can use it. Each time you upgrade to a level, the period will be increased by an additional ten years. If you are below Daluo Jinxian and want to interfere with the outcome, you will be responsible for the consequences.】"

Zhang Jiao was at a loss, he knew every word, but the combination was completely unintelligible, so he turned to look at the Didun book.

"[The forty-third technique of Disha, False Shape: The technique of controlling one's own phantom. It can leave a phantom to sneak around, phantom can be used as a substitute to move, and it can also summon a 'phantom warrior' that cannot be touched but can cause damage to the enemy. ]"

"This..." Zhang Jiao was shocked in his heart: "If this heavenly book has the ability to discern people's hearts, it is because it can learn the means mastered by the reader."

As I continued to read, I saw that the Escape Book said: "[Those who are not skilled in this technique can easily have the phantom take away the life in their mouths, causing severe coughing and wasting their efforts. The formula of 'Shunqi Pill' to suppress this situation is——] "

Every time the golden words on the book displayed an item, Zhang Jiao couldn't help but glance at his medicine basket. Yes, that's right, all the ingredients for this pill that was of great help to him were in his medicine basket. Although it could The explanation is that the materials required for it are relatively common, but Zhang Jiao has no doubt that this is the favor of the immortal - certainly not referring to the two Taoist priests, one old and one young.

Zhang Jiao, who had some guesses, no longer turned over the Heaven Escape Book and the Earth Escape Book, but casually unfolded the Human Escape Book, and saw that it read:

"[The one hundred and eighty-fourth door of the heretic, moving door: There is something to do, balance yin and yang, push the palace and activate blood, find recipes and cook, burn thatch and make a cauldron, add lead to refine sand, stone milk heals wounds, and talisman water cures diseases. ]"

Talisman, Talisman water cures diseases? Why are these deceptive methods that have been proven by the outside world so openly attached to a group of seemingly powerful words? Even the Five Pecks of Rice Dao and Tianshi Dao don't even bother to do these stupid things that can only deceive the ignorant.

When Zhang Jiao looked at it again, he saw that the clause continued: "[Note: When treating diseases with Talisman Water, it is necessary to confirm that the name of the deity written is correct, and that the deity is available and willing to treat those who drink the Talisman Water, otherwise it is equivalent to drinking Just a bowl of dirty water.】"

"..." Zhang Jiao was speechless for a moment. It turned out that he knew that he was drinking paper ashes.

Since refining "Shunqi Pills" requires almost all the herbs he collected, this is the only way to treat Zhang Liang's illness. However, he must at least confirm that it is effective, otherwise even if he does not refine the "Shunqi Pills", he will have to Leave the herbs to your brother to treat his injuries.

Zhang Jiao found yellow paper, red ink and a water bowl, but hesitated for a moment, not knowing what kind of talisman he should draw. Although he had helped a traveling Taoist priest draw some "acquired talismans" in Julu County, he did not know whether the specific pictures and texts could be drawn. Universal, if not, an "innate talisman" formed by just drawing one stroke?

After making the decision, Zhang Jiao dipped his pen in ink and wrote the word "Lin Hao" in one stroke on the yellow paper. Fortunately, the strokes were few and he could still finish it in one go. Then, he turned around and took out the broken pointed stick and rolled it up. The sleeve cut a gash on the arm.

He was about to light the simple "Innate Talisman" when he saw it floating and burning on its own without any ash falling down during the process. When it burned out, as a breeze blew by, he held "Fufu" in one hand, Lin Hao, holding a dark green cane in his other hand, appeared in the house with a cloud of petals.

Seeing the wound on Zhang Jiao's arm, she raised her eyebrows and waved the hand holding the staff slightly. The wound on Zhang Jiao's hand disappeared without any warning, and then she said, "Why are you calling me so urgently?"

"Uh, no..." Zhang Jiao was speechless.

"I see," Lin Hao pinched his fingers a few times, nodded and said, "If you want to experiment with the effect of talisman water, just write the name 'Southern China Old Immortal'. What you did just now sounded like a thunder to me. 'Help'."

"Thank you, fairy." Zhang Jiao awkwardly handed over his hand.

"You broke your cane in the previous trial, so I will give you a 'Southern Immortal Staff'." Lin Hao threw the dark green staff in his hand towards Zhang Jiao. The staff flew in the air at an unusually slow speed. He quickly reached out to catch it and nodded his thanks.

"There is no limit on how long you can stay here. However, there must be people in the outside world waiting for you to go back. You can make your own decision." Following the words, Lin Hao disappeared again with the breeze and falling petals.

————

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Jiao quietly left the fairy mansion with a basket of medicine on his back, a book and a cane. After passing through the "Fairy Forest", he returned to the familiar and ordinary Julu Mountains.

With the revival of spiritual energy and the appearance of unparalleled warriors, the world has already speculated whether there are gods. Now that this has been confirmed, Zhang Jiao is not happy.

From a short experience, we can see that those gods are not without desires. On the contrary, they will do whatever it takes to get what they want, and treat mortals like ants and grass.

That "Southern China Old Immortal" was okay, but if Yu Ji and Zuo Ci had her skills, how could they live quietly in the mountains? Even without relying on guesswork, he heard Zuo Ci's own words about going to the world to find the Lord.

At this time, although the court was dim and the relatives were in power, it had not yet reached the level of chaos. Could it be that they wanted to imitate King Wu of Zhou?

No, if you think about it carefully, maybe the many legends about immortals and Buddhas when King Wu conquered Zhou were not fabrications, but relics of the battles when the immortals were still alive?

"Even if the world is about to be in chaos, given this situation, I will never follow the crowd." Zhang Jiao clenched his cane and thought to himself.

"Woo--" Following a wolf howl, a huge brown wolf and three smaller female wolves blocked the way.

"Haha..." Zhang Jiao said with a smile: "You have been waiting for me here all day? And you still took the time to kidnap a female wolf?"

"Roar——" The brown wolf didn't reply, he lowered his body and slowly approached Zhang Jiao.

"Are you comparing numbers?" Zhang Jiao showed no fear. He waved the Nanxian staff in his hand, and three "me"s also holding short staffs appeared behind him. They rushed towards the wolves without hesitation.

The brown male wolf opened his mouth and bit. Although those "open horns" were bitten, they did not break into pieces and disappear as before. On the contrary, the giant wolf bit completely empty. Before it could understand, it was directly hit with a short stick. On the head.

The male wolf could still deal with it, but the female wolves whose several attacks were ineffective and who kept being hit with the stick only lasted for a moment and then fled away. The brown wolf had to give up the weird scholar in front of him and chase his subordinates and spouse. them.

"Think about it carefully..." Zhang Jiao, who never moved a step from beginning to end, sighed: "I can be considered an immortal now."
