The Monk

Chapter 1,267 General

This place is a very bold area of ​​influence. Zhang Afraid bought the yard and wouldn't go out for a month. Naturally, someone reported the news to him, especially Zhang Afraid who brought it back. For this reason alone, the Four Snakes had to go there in person.

That day, Zhang was afraid that he had seen Baldhead before meeting him. Being on guard against others is indispensable if you have the Tao, not to mention the path to immortality from a hostile sect? Anyone who has been around in the world would not believe that this incident happened by chance. The four snakes would naturally suspect that Zhang Wen was related to Bald Head. The reason why he dared to bring Zhang Ao back was that, firstly, the guy was seriously injured, and secondly, he wanted to see if the Immortal Path was playing tricks.

But Zhang was afraid that not going out all the time would be a big problem, and a barrier was set up in the yard to isolate the inside and outside, making it unclear what he was doing. Just now, the Four Snakes were outside the courtyard and scanned the inside with their spiritual consciousness, but they could not find the situation in the courtyard, so they came to the door in person.

He chose the most normal questions to ask Zhang Ai. If Zhang Ai was guilty, he would explain it randomly, which meant there was something wrong. But Zhang Awei's answer was very normal and he didn't explain too much, which made him feel a little relieved, but also a little disappointed. The biggest reason why he was willing to bring Zhang Awei back was to see what Bald Tou was up to. From his heart, he would rather hope that Zhang Awei was a chess piece buried by Bald Tou so that he could do something; rather than an unknown person. , injured cultivators who need to recuperate.

After asking two normal questions, I still felt uneasy, so I asked the third question: "Do you know Bald Tou?" Zhang Awei shook his head and said, "I don't know him. I just met him once that day. He said he wanted me to go to their place to recover." , help them work after the injury is healed."

Si Snakes nodded slightly after hearing this. So far, the guy in front of him has performed well, and there is no problem at all. If there is nothing wrong with him, it is hidden too deeply and has not been exposed yet.

But, the four snakes are always suspicious and a little worried. The most interesting thing about doubting people is that if you doubt someone, no matter what he does, you will think there is something wrong. Just like Zhang Afraid at this time, you have to spend a lot of effort to explain clearly that there is nothing wrong with you, and then Well, the Four Snakes may not believe it yet.

The Four Snakes didn't believe in coincidences. Although Zhang was afraid that his injuries were serious, there was such a thing as a bitter flesh trick in history. How could he be sure that this kid was not a person on the path to immortality? At this moment, his eyes were wandering around Zhang Ai, wondering in his mind whether he was a chess piece of the Immortal Path.

With his strength, he could kill Zhang Ai directly, which would save him the trouble at this time. However, firstly, he was unwilling to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and secondly, he hoped that Zhang Zhen would really have a problem. He wanted to find out what Xiantu Sect wanted to do, so he never took action.

After thinking for a while, he stood up and said, "Let's go." Without another word, he walked away. Zhang was afraid that he wanted to say a few words of apology, such as not serving tea and treating guests with lack of etiquette, but there was no chance.

The four snakes left immediately and disappeared after a while. Zhang Weizhi had no choice but to go over and close the door, and then returned to the hall to think about today's incident. He was wondering why the four snakes were here!

Even if he were to kill him, he would not believe that the Four Snakes came to inquire about his condition with good intentions, not to mention that none of the three questions the Four Snakes asked contained any warmth, they were all cold questions. Zhang Awei sat and thought for a while, and finally sighed helplessly. If it was really his own trouble, he would not be able to avoid it no matter what. He simply stopped thinking about it and urged Di Xingju to return underground to continue recovering from his injuries.

It's a pity that the development of things will never change according to human will. He is recovering from his injuries underground. Only three days later, someone else came to the door. In the early hours of the morning, a thin man quickly approached the door, knocked lightly on the door, stayed for a moment, and then disappeared.

At this time, Zhang Ai was practicing underground and noticed someone knocking on the door again, so he had no choice but to go out of the ground and open the door to welcome the guests. But as soon as he came out of the ground, he knew something was wrong. The guy outside the door was gone.

At this time, he had just walked out of the hall, and had no choice but to stop. He stood for a while, with a wry smile on his face. Trouble was coming, and this time he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. After thinking again and again, he sank into the ground again, then removed the courtyard enchantment circle, and then sank rapidly downwards alone until he sank near the center of the earth before stopping.

If his guess was correct, the man who just knocked on the door and then left was not looking for him at all, but just wanted to drag him into trouble. As for why, you can guess it without thinking. There are four major forces on the planet. Hao Guan and Xian Tu are two, and there are two others. The four are not in harmony, and it is normal for them to scheming with each other. He could even think that the person who knocked on the door was a brave person and had nothing to do with the path to immortality. He just wanted to use himself to cause a fight between the two sides so that they could take advantage of it.

Thinking of this, there is only one question, that is, how valuable is he to make several major forces conflict?

But Zhang Ping doesn't care about this. He is very unwilling to become the center or the introduction of several forces. After some thinking, he decided to disappear. Unless the four forces can dig to the center of the earth, do they want to find me? It’s better not to dream.

In this way, he disappeared, but what happened outside the courtyard gate in the morning was promptly reported to the four snakes.

When the four snakes heard this, they seemed very excited. This guy finally showed his tail and came outside the small courtyard again with the idea of ​​catching a big fish. Unfortunately, he was still disappointed this time.

He thought there was something wrong with the thin man who knocked on the door, because after the thin man left Zhang Ain's door, he left the city directly and then disappeared. Although Shouzi and Zhang Ming have never met, what if there is a special way to deliver the message? For this reason, the four snakes must come to find out.

At this time, he stood still outside the door. The previous barrier was no longer there. He sent out his spiritual consciousness to scan and found no one in the room. The four snakes' expressions turned ugly, and they coldly ordered: "Search the whole city."

Based on his intelligence network, he naturally knew that the boy had not left the city from morning to now, which meant that Zhang Ai could only be hiding in the city. But the problem was that his intelligence network also did not find Zhang Ai walking out of the yard.

A big living person disappeared mysteriously. The four snakes let go of their spiritual consciousness and searched the whole city. They tried hard to find every inch of land and every house, but they couldn't find it. When this happens, you will either die and be crushed into ashes; or you will hide deep in the earth.

The first situation could not happen, because Zhang Awei was always the only one in the yard, and no one except the Four Snakes had ever entered the yard. Someone knocked on the door in the morning, but they just knocked and left, without any chance to put down the phone.

That can only be the second case. Although the Four Snakes have known countless cultivators in their lives, they have never seen anyone who knows how to escape from the earth. But what if Zhang Ain knows? Nothing is absolute, and one must prepare for the worst, so after searching the city and still not finding anything, the Four Snakes concluded that Zhang Ping was hiding deep in the earth.

Ordinarily, with Zhang's ability, he doesn't need to go all the way to escape here, nor does he need to go to the city to buy a yard to recuperate. He just needs to find a wild place and get into it. But the four snakes couldn't think of any other possibility, so they stubbornly believed that Zhang Ai was hiding underground.

Of course he wanted to dig three thousand feet into the ground to see if Zhang Awei was really hiding underground, but there was just one problem. Even if Zhang Awei was really hiding underground, what was he doing hiding there? Even if there was a conspiracy, what could he do if he was injured and hiding underground?

The more he thought about the matter, the more confused he became. The Four Snakes suddenly thought of a possibility and thought that they were overthinking it!

But no matter whether he thought too much or not, he had to report something when it happened. There was a boss above him, so he flew to a high mountain in the distance. The mountain is so high that there is only a steep stone path from bottom to top, which is called the Ladder to Heaven. In fact, the existence of this stone ladder is very unnecessary. The entire planet is full of cultivators, and even ordinary soldiers do not need to step on the stone ladder. The existence of this stone staircase is entirely to suit the occasion and to look good.

The four snakes flew straight to a main hall halfway up the mountain. When they were approaching the main hall, a young man in white flew out of the hall and asked, "Is there something wrong?" By the time he asked, the four snakes had already stopped in front of him, raised their hands and said, "There is something wrong. Report to the General. "The name of this organization is weird, and the titles within the sect are equally weird.

The young man in white heard the words and asked, "But is it important?" The four snakes shook their heads and said, "It's not too important." The young man said, "Then please wait a moment, General Four Snakes. The general is discussing something." The four snakes nodded and said yes. , asked casually: "Eight Cavalry Generals?" The young man in white said yes. When the Four Snakes heard this, their expressions changed. After thinking for a while, they finally couldn't hold it back and asked in a low voice, "Has the General decided to take action?"

The young man in white clothes shook his head and said, "I don't know." He glanced at the Four Snakes and said in a low voice, "It's a matter of confidentiality, so we'd better not talk about it." The Four Snakes nodded and stood quietly in front of the palace, patiently waiting for the general to discuss the matter.

They waited for a whole day, and when it got dark, the door of the main hall slowly opened, and eight strong and powerful senior cultivators walked out, each of them looking majestic and arrogant. Someone saw the Four Snakes and asked casually with a smile: "Is there anything else going on down there?" The Four Snakes quickly replied respectfully: "Master Cavalry General, it's just a trivial matter." The Cavalry General who asked the question smiled and said, "Trivial matters? Then you'd better not say anything. Go in, the general is getting angry." He laughed, jumped up, and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

None of the eight generals lived on the mountain. After the discussion was over, they all went back. But the cavalry general's words made the Four Snakes hesitate. They didn't know whether they should tell the general about the insignificant matter about Zhang Jing.

The young man in white saw that his expression was somewhat troubled, and he advised in a low voice: "If there is really no rush..." At this point, he changed his tone and continued: "Looking at the relaxed expressions of the eight knights, it is obvious that there is no war."

With one sentence, the four snakes woke up, and sighed with a grimace: "Okay, I'll go back first and talk about it later." After saying this, he flew away to avoid being used to vent his anger by the angry general. But just as he was in the air, a low voice came from the hall: "Come in."

Without asking, it was obvious that these words must have been spoken to the Four Snakes. When this sturdy-looking man heard these words, he immediately became a little sluggish. He turned back to look at the young man in white and saw that he had no expression. He was in the air. Turn around and fly to the main hall. After a while, he stopped in front of the temple, straightened his clothes a little, and entered with his head held high.
