Chapter 274 The Emperor's Daughter Enters the Dream Again

He would feel uneasy until he figured out the strange thing about the little kid.

After the two of them finished eating the meat, the little kid seemed to have found something to do. He stopped bothering Zhang Chen and went to the bed obediently to meditate.

"This girl's talent is so terrifyingly high. I'm afraid she is two or three points more talented than Xie Xuan, who became a Buddhist in one day." Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

"You can't rush to achieve success in one day when practicing. You need to proceed step by step and combine work and rest. You have already been meditating for eight hours today. You should take a break to avoid wasting your energy." Zhang Chen was standing at the door of the house. Seeing the little kid trying to meditate again, he quickly spoke up to stop him.

The little kid paused when he heard this and looked at Zhang Chen in surprise: "But I think I'm in good spirits."

"That won't work either. You need to be more restrained." Zhang Chen said.

The little kid listened to Zhang Chen's words the most. Upon hearing them, he climbed out of bed and began to stretch his muscles and practice the True Dragon Frame.

After the blood in his body started to flow, he came to Zhang Chen and asked curiously, "The method you taught me today, is it the so-called method of cultivating immortals?"

"It's just a part of the immortal cultivation method, not a complete immortal cultivation method." Zhang Chen said here, looking at the little kid very seriously: "I will teach you kung fu, but you still need to practice it quietly in private, remember not to let anyone know."

The little bean nodded vigorously after hearing this: "I know! I'm not a child. I'm your senior sister, do I need you to teach me this kind of thing?"

"I didn't expect that I could also practice Taoism. When you told me about practicing Taoism in the past, I didn't believe you. Now I know you didn't lie to me." The little kid sighed at this time.

Looking at the little kid who looked like an adult, Zhang Chen smiled and reached out to touch his head, and carefully reminded him: "I'm going out tonight, you sleep well in the room, and I'll be back tomorrow morning."

The little kid nodded and asked curiously, "What do you do every night? So mysterious?"

Zhang Chen knocked on the little kid's head when he heard this: "Children shouldn't ask about adults' affairs."

That night
Zhang Chen transformed himself into a vampire bat and quietly left. He came all the way to the Bagua furnace, found the guard hiding in the dark, informed him, and then returned to the stone cave where the Bagua furnace was and waited.

Zhang Chen didn't have to wait long before Xie Lingyun's Yin spirit came out from the moonlight and stood in front of Zhang Chen.

"It's rare that you call me out so late." Xie Lingyun walked in the moonlight, looking at Zhang Chen with curiosity.

"Little Bean has a problem." Zhang Chen didn't say anything more and directly told the story of Little Bean's practice of visualization and the appearance of the palace. However, he concealed the process of Little Bean's entering the Tao and leaving the body in one day. This kind of talent is really sensational. Although he believes in Xie Lingyun, he has to keep the secret for Little Bean.

Xie Lingyun frowned upon hearing this, and shook his head after a long while: "I have never heard of the scene you described. Could it be that the girl has some special blood in her body, and when her Yin Spirit left her body, the mysterious power stimulated and awakened her blood?"

Zhang Chen shook his head after hearing this: "No! The palace has a unique scent of incense, it should be composed of the power of incense, not the power of blood."

"Now that you say so, I can't figure out anything. Tomorrow I will find an excuse to go to Huangli Temple in person and check out the abnormality of that girl." Xie Lingyun said.

Zhang Chen nodded, and the two chatted for a while before going their separate ways.

Zhang Chen returned to Huangli Temple in the middle of the night without attracting anyone's attention along the way.

Zhang Chen had been in a state of tension these days, so he decided not to practice tonight and just go to sleep to relax. He went straight into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Just at the moment when Zhang Chen fell asleep, his consciousness came to an unknown void in a trance. A thick fog emerged in the void, and the fog kept flowing and floating in the air.

"Am I in a dream again?" Zhang Chen looked at the void in front of him, alert in his heart, and cursed inwardly: "Why am I in a dream again? Is someone trying to harm me through the dream again? This is forcing me to upgrade the Light of the Righteous God."

Zhang Chen decided that he would collect experience points and turn on the Light of the Righteous God after returning. How could he leave such a big flaw? If someone harmed him through dreams, he seemed to have no power to resist.
Just when Zhang Chen made up his mind to reflect on himself, there seemed to be an inexplicable force pushing Zhang Chen's figure to wander in the mist.

After walking about ten steps, the void in front of his eyes suddenly changed, and then he entered a mansion.

He was very familiar with the mansion in front of him. It was the mansion of King Pingbian, and it was the lobby where the coffin was placed.

"Why did I dream about here again? Has something unexpected happened again?" Zhang Chen was secretly shocked, knowing that it was the princess's trick, so he took a step forward and took the initiative to go to the lobby. From a distance, he saw a group of figures gathered in the lobby.

At this time, King Pingbian, Mr. Wuliu, the ancestor of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and various blurry figures were seen sitting in circles around the corpse.

The protective golden light of the corpse continued to melt away, and traces of energy flowed towards the heaven and earth, and were then absorbed by the people nearby, continuously penetrating into their bodies.

As golden light entered everyone's bodies, their skin actually flashed with metallic colors, looking as if it was covered with a layer of gold powder.

Zhang Chen was horrified when he saw this scene: "I forgot one thing. The ancient power in the body of the princess is too strong. When she came to this world, it was in a state of constant loss. Power also follows the law of flowing from high concentration to low concentration, so the power in the princess' body will flow back to heaven and earth, but the onlookers have taken a big advantage. The moment the princess' power leaves her body, it needs to find a host, which is an advantage for the onlookers."

"Unless the princess's body is placed back in the tree coffin, we can isolate the heaven and earth and ensure that the princess's physical strength is no longer lost." Zhang Chen's mind was particularly bright in his dream at this time.

Just as Zhang Chen was pondering the key to this, he suddenly felt an itch on his neck. He saw strands of jet-black hair sliding down from the beam, falling into Zhang Chen's collar, and then strangling Zhang Chen's neck.

"here we go again!"

Zhang Chen felt his neck being strangled and immediately realized that something was wrong. He looked up and saw the princess staring at him with eyes full of resentment.

Zhang Chen met the princess' eyes and said quickly, "I say..."

"Oh!"

Before Zhang Chen could finish his words, the princess punched him in the face, interrupting him from saying anything.

"Don't fight! After all, we are related..."

"Bang~"

"Your father and I are acquaintances. We are friends. According to seniority, you should call me uncle!"

"Bang bang bang~" It would have been better if Zhang Chen didn't say anything. Once he said it, the princess hit him even harder. Her fists hit Zhang Chen's face like a storm.

The princess didn't hit his body but only his face, causing Zhang Chen to run away with his head in his hands. However, he was entangled by countless strands of hair, so he could only hold his head to avoid it.

I don't know how long the beating lasted. Suddenly, the dream was broken and the sound of a bell rang in my ears. Zhang Chen suddenly turned over and sat up. Listening to the bell of the Taoist temple, he shuddered: "I was beaten by that girl all night?"

"How can you treat your uncle like this?" Zhang Chen was so angry that he started to curse. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt pain in the corner of his mouth, and his whole face was in pain.

He reached out to touch it, and Zhang Chen broke out in a cold sweat from the pain. His entire face was swollen like a pig's head.

"The harm caused by the dream actually reflected in the real world?" Zhang Chen was horrified when he saw this scene. His eyes were full of shock and disbelief.

A water mirror appeared in front of him, and then Zhang Chen looked at the face in the water mirror, which was indeed swollen like a pig's head.

Fortunately, Zhang Chen mastered the art of controlling blood, and within three breaths all the redness and swelling disappeared, and his face returned to normal.

Zhang Chen dispersed the water mirror and sat on the bed with a frown on his face: "There are countless masters in the Pingbian Palace. It is not easy for me to bring the princess's body out. Moreover, there are always masters from the Pingbian Palace practicing around the princess's body. I don't have a chance to do anything."

Zhang Chen thought of his own Hesha magic. If he succeeded in practicing Hesha magic, would he be able to create sandstorms so that he could sneak into the Pingbian Palace and steal the emperor's daughter's body?

"I lack experience points. If I have a lot of experience points to upgrade all my skills, then when I have the maximum level 12 invisibility talisman, who can discover my whereabouts?" Zhang Chen thought secretly in his mind.

The princess can still hold on for a while. Since I can't save her now, I should find a way to find the tree coffin. It's better to sharpen the knife than to chop wood.

"Zhang Chen, get up and do morning lessons." The little kid's shouting came from upstairs.

After hearing Cheng Yu's words, Zhang Chen quickly put on his clothes, and then followed Xiaodouding to do morning lessons. When the sun rose in the early morning, Xie Lingyun arrived.

There was another flurry of activity in the Taoist temple, and Xie Lingyun ordered someone to bring food boxes to Zhang Chen's courtyard. After the three of them finished their exquisite breakfast, Xie Lingyun looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Don't waste time. Let's get started."

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing that and led Xiao Douding and Xie Lingyun into the house. Zhang Chen told Xiao Douding to practice out-of-body energy, and Xiao Douding did as he was told. Then, in Xie Lingyun's shocked gaze, a small girl appeared at the Baihui point on the top of Xiao Douding's head, struggling to carry a large palace and fly out of the Baihui point, but was instantly pressed back by the huge palace. Two lines of blood spurted out from between the wings of Xiao Douding's nose, and Zhang Chen hurried over to wipe them.

"Don't worry, junior brother. I'm fine." The little kid was very sensible and comforted Zhang Chen in return.

Zhang Chen patted the little kid's head and turned to look at Xie Lingyun: "Sister, maybe you can see something?"

"This is definitely not the power of blood!" Xie Lingyun's face became serious at this time, and he looked very cautious: "But I can't tell what the specific method is."

"This method is really a sinister method to stop a little kid from practicing." Xie Lingyun cursed at this time, his voice full of anger: "She is just a child, who would do such a cruel thing to her?"

"You are a cultivator, don't you have any way to crack the opponent's methods?" Xie Lingyun asked Zhang Chen.

"With my limited skills, if I had the means to break it, why would I ask my sister for help?" Zhang Chen replied.

Xie Lingyun frowned upon hearing this: "I can't do anything about it either. I still need the help of the chieftain. Maybe he can find some clues."

"I wonder how to ask the leader for help?" Zhang Chen asked.

Xie Lingyun said: "Leave this matter to me. Just take Cheng Yu down the mountain, and I can ask the chieftain to take action after returning to the Inspection Office."

"It's just..." Xie Lingyun hesitated when she said this, and then she looked at Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen understood and coaxed the little kid out to fetch water. Then he heard Xie Lingyun say, "I'm afraid it's Huang Tiandao's trick. It will be troublesome then. This kind of power is the power of incense, and Huang Tiandao is now collecting the power of incense. If it's really Huang Tiandao's trick, it will be difficult for us to bring the little kid down the mountain. I'm afraid Huang Liguan will never agree to it."

"Whether it is Huang Tiandao's method, sister will know if you try it out," Zhang Chen said meaningfully to Xie Lingyun.

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingyun nodded with a heavy face, and then ordered someone to call Liu Feng. Soon Liu Feng came hurriedly, followed by Zhang Xiaohua, the prince of Pingbian.

In order to get close to Xie Lingyun, Zhang Xiaohua tried every possible means and did not miss any opportunity.

"Commander Xie, what instructions do you have for me?" Liu Feng bowed to Xie Lingyun and then asked.

Xie Lingyun smiled and said, "I like this little kid very much. I want to take him down the mountain to play with me for a few days. What do you think?"

Liu Feng's face changed when he heard this, and he looked embarrassed at this moment: "Thank you for speaking up, Commander. Logically, there is no reason for me in Huangli Temple to not allow it, but... but..."

"Just what?" Seeing the other party hesitating, Xie Lingyun's face suddenly darkened and he pressed the issue, "I'm just taking a child down the mountain. Can't Huang Liguan give me this face?"

Zhang Chen, who was standing by, was startled when he saw this scene. Sure enough, the most difficult situation had happened.

"The Great Sage Master has ordered that little kid is not allowed to go down the mountain. If you want to take this child down the mountain, you will make things difficult for me. You might as well just take action and chop off my head, otherwise the Great Sage Master will find out that I didn't follow the order and slap me to death in the future." Liu Feng directly brought out the Great Heavenly Master.

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingyun's eyebrows slightly raised. The Great Heavenly Master was someone that even he could not afford to offend, and even Xie Xuan could not easily offend him.

"That's fine. I didn't expect Huang Liguan to value her so much." Xie Lingyun tried to find out the answer calmly.

"Cheng Yu is the one chosen by the Great Sage Master. It is said that he will become the last disciple of the Great Heavenly Master in the future. So it is normal to keep a close eye on him. If anything happens to the child, we will not be able to explain to the Great Sage Master. If you like this child, you might as well come to the Taoist temple often to see him." Liu Feng said flatteringly.

Xie Lingyun did not comment upon hearing this.

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua stepped out, looked at Xie Lingyun, and raised her hand to salute with a smile: "Miss Xie, we finally meet. It was very difficult for Xiao Wang to see you."

"So it's the prince." Xie Lingyun replied to Zhang Xiaohua casually.

Zhang Xiaohua was not annoyed by Xie Lingyun's aloof attitude. Instead, she came forward to chat with him. Xie Lingyun remained polite and responded to Zhang Xiaohua casually.

After talking for a while, Xie Lingyun winked at Zhang Chen, then said goodbye and left. Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua followed him like a follower.
