I saw the girl's thin lips parted slightly, her melodious voice, and her words were thorny: "Hey, why can't you even walk steadily? Do you want me to find someone to ask your sick sister to help you back?"
Only then did Zhang Zheng quietly turn her attention to the shallow pit not far in front of her.
A figure in the pit moved twice and struggled to get up. The man's body was extremely thin, his bones were straight, and his hair was as messy as a bird's nest.
He coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, barely stood up with one hand on the wall, and stared at the beautiful girl upstairs with a pair of black and white eyes.
"Please save Qiao'er's life."
What a stalking bitch! Bai Mingzhu spat in her heart.
It was her mother's mercy that these illegitimate children could survive in the house. Instead of waiting to die in the side courtyard, she actually begged her.
Her face was filled with ridicule: "Don't you know how precious the elixir that can save your good-for-nothing sister is? Why should I use it to exchange for your sister's miserable life?"
The man's expression became darker and darker. This direct sister had always hated them. He also knew that there was little hope, but he had no choice.
Qiao'er's congenital disease has now reached a critical stage. Apart from relying on the Bone Rejuvenation Pill to shape her spiritual roots and start practicing cultivation, she has only one way to die.
Their mother was beaten to death when they were infancy. He could no longer just watch his last relative die and live an ignoble existence.
He begged the head of the family and knelt on the ground for three days and three nights, but their so-called father ignored him and instead gave the only bone-rejuvenating pill to Bai Mingzhu without hesitation just to please her.
Qiao'er's life depends on this strange and terrifying sister in front of her.
Thinking of this, the man's gray eyes lit up a little, but he still only said one sentence, "Please save Qiao'er, I will work hard to repay you."
Bai Mingzhu was really annoyed and said harshly: "Okay, if you die now, I will save your good sister."
As long as he dies, Qiao'er can live. As long as he dies, Qiao'er can embark on the path of spiritual practice and escape from this nightmare prison.
The man suddenly raised his eyes, with unprecedented hope in his eyes. He didn't even hesitate at all, and his head hit the display counter.
He was so fast that the onlookers around him didn't react to stop him for a moment, but there was a defensive charm engraved on the display counter. When he was attacked, it was instantly activated, and the sharp magic light actually pierced his head directly.
The man died on the spot.
Bai Mingzhu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then frowned. It was really troublesome.
After this incident, she no longer wanted to visit Wanjin Tower, so she hired a servant to clean up the place. She also threw a bag of spiritual stones to the manager of Wanjin Tower nearby, signaling that she would use it to compensate for the loss of Wanjin Tower.
The girl left in a hurry, and the man's body was burned by the servant. The steward of Wanjin Building looked happy after getting the money, and the other spectators also left one after another.
A farce ended with a human life and ended hastily.
Zhang Zheng was a little confused. In her opinion, it didn't matter who was right or wrong. One was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. Who could decide the man's life for him?
She was just filled with emotion that a living life died so absurdly and so plainly.
This is the real world of cultivation, cruel and merciless, and strength is respected. A life is nothing, maybe it is not as good as the ground where the Wanjin Building was smashed into a hole. At least there are people to compensate, people to care, and people to repair and smooth it out.
After picking up his mood, Zhang Zheng left Wanjin Tower and went to Cave Mansion tomorrow. He would practice some magic tonight.
Early the next morning, Zhang Zheng packed up her things and put the reunion ring on her neck. As soon as she put it on, the reunion ring shrank to the right size.
Hua Minglan and Senior Brother Tan seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. Seeing her arriving, Hua Minglan's eyes lit up and she waved, "It's great that Junior Sister Zhang can come!"
She was not sure whether she would come back, so there must be other people coming with her this time. Zhang Zheng thought about it, and apologized: "It's troublesome for Senior Sister Hua and Senior Brother Tan to wait too long."
Hua Minglan smiled and waved her hands: "What's the trouble? We came a little early and we were waiting for others."
"By the way, Junior Sister Zhang probably doesn't know yet. It's really my fault that I forgot to mention it in the communication talisman. There is another disciple who wants to go to the cave with us, named Tan Ying, who is a cousin of Senior Brother Tan's clan."
After saying that, Hua Minglan looked at Zhang Zheng apologetically, as if she was sorry for the temporary addition.
Zhang Zheng didn't have any objections. They discovered this cave and it was a matter of friendship to call him. How could he interfere with who they called.
Suddenly, Senior Brother Tan on the side called into the distance, "Yingying, here."
Zhang Zheng followed his line of sight and turned around. The woman who came towards him was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was wearing a light green dress that made her skin whiter than snow. The hem of the lake blue skirt was fluttering. Her slender eyebrows were naturally slightly frowned, and her eyes were like water waves.
, endearing.
The woman quickened her pace and came over here. First she called Senior Brother Tan her cousin, and then she whispered softly to Hua Minglan and Zhang Zheng: "Yingying has met these two Senior Sisters."
If the lady from the aristocratic family I met in Wanjin Tower yesterday was a flaming beauty, indulgent and noble, then the Tan Ying in front of me is a soft and delicate beauty.
Hua Minglan always treated people warmly, and she was even more happy to see such a gentle and amiable girl. She said cheerfully, "My name is Hua Minglan. Yingying can just call me Senior Sister Hua. This is Junior Sister Zhang Zheng."
A few people exchanged pleasantries for a while and then set off.
The cave is located in a mountain lake thousands of miles away. Several of them are monks in the Qi refining stage and are not yet able to control objects and fly. Only Hua Minglan has a flying magic weapon, which is just enough to carry them there.
In half a day's work, a few people arrived at their destination.
According to Hua Minglan, she and Senior Brother Tan were on a mission here and accidentally discovered this lake while chasing a monster. They saw the monster jump into the lake and disappear in an instant, so they became suspicious.
I originally thought it was a teleportation circle, but I didn't expect it to be an unborn cave. Because they consumed a lot of talisman pills and spiritual energy to complete the task, the two of them did not dare to continue exploring for fear of becoming harmful.
life.
So he returned to the sect and planned to repair himself before coming back, but he was also worried that the two of them might not be able to handle it alone, so he sought out Zhang Zheng.
According to Hua Minglan's words, "Junior Sister Zhang and I have gone on several missions. Junior Sister Zhang has a straightforward and upright temperament. I believe she will never do anything greedy."
The lake in front of me looks very ordinary. From the surface, it is clear and transparent. The water is no deeper than the knees. Occasionally, leaves fall to the water surface, causing ripples.
Several people held their breath and sank into the water, and followed Hua Minglan in front of them downstream.
The more I swim, the more frightened I become. The lake that looks only knee-deep from the outside is actually unfathomable.
After swimming for nearly ten minutes, a transparent barrier finally appeared in front of them. Fortunately, they were all monks and could protect their bodies with spiritual energy. If a mortal would either be suffocated or squeezed to death by the pressure of the deep water.
Passing through the barrier, the pitch-black vision suddenly opened up.
The grass is green, the flowers are in bloom, and there is even a fragrant fragrance of flowers and plants floating in the air, which is refreshing. If it were not for the dark blue lake behind the barrier to remind them, they might have mistakenly thought that they were on the ground.
"Amazing."
Tan Ying stared blankly at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but marvel.
Zhang Zheng also felt the same, but she just sighed silently in her heart.
Hua Minglan and Senior Brother Tan were not surprised because they had already been here. They pointed to a tall stone wall not far away and said calmly: "Next, we have to be careful. The cave is behind that stone wall.
, last time we only explored the entrance of the cave, but did not enter, so we don’t know what dangers there may be inside."
After the four people came to the stone wall, they were surprised to find that the scene behind the stone wall was completely different from that in front.
Behind the stone wall, there is no grass growing, the loess is barren, and stone pillars of different sizes stand in clusters, like countless sharp swords piercing the ground, pointing directly at the sky.
One of the boulders, an oval-shaped boulder with uneven surfaces, is inserted abruptly among the many stone pillars. There is a crooked cut mark on the boulder that looks like a round fan-shaped door. Next to the boulder is a stone pillar with the four characters "小山剑堂" engraved on it.
.
"Are you ready? We are going in."
Hua Minglan asked.
Several people nodded slightly.
Then, Hua Minglan took the lead and walked towards the round door. The moment she touched the boulder, there was a faint flash of light and her figure had disappeared.
Zhang Zheng was second, followed by Tan Ying, and finally Brother Tan had his tail cut off.
At the moment of entering, Zhang Zheng turned around unexpectedly and happened to catch the flash of expectation in Tan Ying's eyes, and she was almost certain to win.
Does she know what's in it?
An idea immediately popped up, and Zhang Zheng couldn't help but wonder why Tan Ying looked like she was here to take something from her bag, even though it was her first time here, and why she wanted to hide it.
Behind the round door were three stone paths. Hua Minglan was looking at the stone paths and meditating. Then, Tan Ying and Senior Brother Tan also came in.
Seeing that there were three stone paths, Brother Tan thought about it and suggested: "We don't know whether it is safe or not, so why not explore together and share the treasures equally."
Zhang Zheng and Hua Minglan naturally had no objections, and Tan Ying agreed with a shy smile.
Several people took out their magic weapons and entered the first stone path on the left with wary expressions, deciding to explore it from left to right.

Chapter completed!
