The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 172 169: Agreement and Injury (22)

The "peace talks" had come to a conclusion at this point. It looked like just a few words of conversation, with both sides not even engaging in the necessary wrangling, consideration and bargaining, making it seem like a joke.

But in fact, the final question and answer session revealed a kind of unspoken tacit understanding.

No matter what Ba Zong's plan is, neither side wants to fight to the death.

Especially in the current situation, if it really comes to a life or death battle, it will be an endless chaos, and Tianquan County may be reduced to ruins, and no one will benefit.

In this case, it is better to find a possibility of coexistence.

Even if it's just for a short period of time!!!

Although Chu Zhou practices domineering boxing skills, he is not actually a self-centered person.

He felt that Xuanzhen Temple was on the path to immortality, and that if one really reached a certain level, one would be able to transcend the mundane world!
As for the drought in Tianyuan Prefecture, it was really an unexpected thing.

Ba Zong gave him a very powerful feeling. With only one or two people, they were able to suppress the martial arts world in Tianquan County so much that they couldn't even raise their heads.

But such a powerful sect, its Tianyuan Prefecture actually suffered such a severe drought, and there were victims attacking the city?

This seems a little unbelievable!
But it was the words of the Wanxiang Zhai master that really alerted Chu Zhou - although the Ba Zong was so powerful, they had allowed the situation to deteriorate to this point, which showed how deep the water was behind it!
Of course, this matter is too far away, and Chu Zhou is not as worried as the owner of Wanxiang Zhai. He just expressed his strong concern.

After the matter was discussed, Zhu Xuan and his two companions also arrived with Xu Cheng and the other three. The two sides met in Zhuyuan, and thus everyone was gathered.

The master of Wanxiang Zhai originally wanted to treat Chu Zhou and his fellow disciples to a dinner, and then have a night's rest before leaving tomorrow.

But Chu Zhou refused!

If he really stayed to have this meal, he would feel uneasy, and the people in Wanxiangzhai would feel uneasy too, and the people outside would be even more uneasy.

In order to reassure everyone, they decided to leave quickly and post the notice after returning to Xuanzhen Temple.

It is worth mentioning that Chu Zhou is still used to writing down his facts and leaving evidence.

Therefore, he got pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down the agreement between him and the owner of Wanxiang Zhai, revised it, made two copies, and had everyone present sign and seal them.

So, in addition to Yan Xiuyuan and Gongye Wang, there were four more people in the world who were stunned by his actions.

The master of Wanxiang Zhai couldn't understand in his dream why Chu Zhou didn't believe in the credibility between sects, but cared about this piece of paper.

However, they didn't object, after all, it was what they were looking for.

After all these things were done, Chu Zhou said no more nonsense. He stood up and walked outside with his four fellow apprentices.

The master of Wanxiang Zhai brought three great elders from the inner sect to see him off.

This time, they did not use Qinggong, but went from the main gate of Wanxiangzhai along the main street to the South City Gate.

They chatted and laughed along the way, talked about local customs and culture, and exchanged martial arts experiences.

It was not until outside the South City Gate that the two sides bowed to each other, said goodbye, and parted ways. Looking at their reluctant expressions, it really felt like after seeing you off for thousands of miles, we must finally say goodbye.

I don’t know how many spies were shocked by this scene!
Although the announcement was useless, the news was like a hurricane passing through, causing a lot of trouble.

……

Vientiane Zhai,
The inner court.

After seeing Chu Zhou and the others off, Master Wanxiangzhai walked back with a sullen face and without saying a word.

Zhu Xuan and the other two followed behind and wanted to speak several times but did not dare to.

Especially the short and fat old man, his face turned red, but he was still stopped by the other two with their eyes.

After entering the inner courtyard and removing all outsiders, the short and fat old man, Ruan Shaosong, the chief elder of the Discipline Department, jumped directly in front of the Wanxiang Master and asked a series of questions like a string of cannonballs: "Master, is this how you finalize the agreement?
Have you ever thought about discussing this with us? Have you ever thought about asking for more benefits? You…"

puff!
What answered him was a mouthful of blood, which sprayed on his face and completely stunned him.

After the owner of Wanxiang Zhai spat out a mouthful of blood, his originally rosy face immediately turned pale, and his whole body was shaky and his breath was weak.

"Master, Master, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Xuan reacted the fastest. He flashed behind the master of Wanxiang Zhai, helped him sit down, and quickly took out a pill and swallowed it with water.

Then, they used massage to activate blood circulation and used Qi to heal wounds. The short and fat old man and the tall and thin old man also hurriedly joined in.

It took a long while for the master of Wanxiang Zhai to recover.

He looked at the three people in front of him and said with some fear: "Fortunately, Chu Zhou didn't leave any food, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on."

"Master, is Chu Zhou really that strong? How did he cultivate at this age?"

The short and fat old man also sat down on the chair next to him. He was tired and scared. In addition, he was also injured. He was almost collapsed in the chair, and even his voice was a little hoarse.

The master of Wanxiang Zhai frowned and said, "The secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple are different from ordinary martial arts.

However, my injury was not only caused by him, but more of a backlash! "

"Backlash? What backlash?"

The master of Wanxiang Zhai took out something from his sleeve and threw it on the table. There was a clang clang sound and a round mirror was spinning non-stop.

"Gently, please be gentle!"

The one who was anxious this time was the tall and thin old man, the great martial arts master Jie Yiheng.

He quickly picked up the round mirror and said angrily, "Brother, you better be careful. This is a treasure left by our ancestors to protect the foundation of our sect. How can you be so casual?"

"It's no use cherishing this treasure any more. This secret treasure is broken!"

"What? It's broken?" The tall and thin old man's voice immediately rose an octave and broke:
Wanxiang Zhaizhu smiled bitterly, looking at the two elders who were at odds with him, and said, "Do you think I just want to negotiate?
In this battle, I was aiming for a winner-takes-all situation. Xuanzhen Temple doesn't have the strength of my Wanxiangzhai, so if they lose, everything will be over. For this reason, I even took out this secret treasure, activated the true energy, and automatically searched for the enemy, fighting to the death.

But the result?

I don't know what method he used to destroy this secret treasure directly, and it also caused me to suffer the backlash. If he had not originally had a strong murderous intention, I would have negotiated peace with him on the grounds of the drought in Tianyuan Prefecture.

Now that I am dead, I guess you can’t escape either.”

After these words were spoken, the short and fat old man could no longer utter any words of blame. The tall and thin old man's eyes flickered, and he finally shut up.

Zhu Xuan took over the conversation and asked, "Master, what should we do now?"

"We have already discussed the peace talks, so let's just play to our strengths."

"You mean the caravan?"

"Yes, we will open the way through trade. The price can be appropriately lower. We can open more routes to cover all the sects in Tianquan County.

In this way, they will benefit and will not be so hostile. "

The master of Wanxiang Zhai was very clear in his thinking: "In addition, Anyue City will be our territory in the future. We should take out all the plans we made before and build and expand what needs to be built.

In the future, this will be the core area of ​​Wanxiangzhai.”

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Zhu Xuan nodded in agreement, and seeing that the Master of Wanxiang Zhai was trying to sit up straight, he asked again, "Master, do you have any other instructions?"

"Yes, there are several other things."

The master of Wanxiang Zhai took a deep breath, looked at the tall and thin old man, and said, "Junior Brother Jie, the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple are unique. You are the great elder who teaches the martial arts. I need you to organize people to study and learn, and it would be best if you could integrate them into the martial arts of my Wanxiang Zhai."

"Master, I will personally handle this matter."

"Junior Brother Ruan, you have to keep an eye on Xunfeng Hall. The information about the drought in Tianyuan Prefecture must be collected and summarized as soon as possible, and then a copy must be given to Xuanzhen Temple."

"Okay, I'll take it."

Finally, Master Wanxiang looked at Zhu Xuan and said, "Notify them immediately and use the Flying Eagle to send a message to withdraw all the disciples who went to Xuanzhen Temple and take other routes. Make sure they don't run into Chu Zhou and his men."

"Don't worry, I'll make arrangements."

After giving the instructions, Master Wanxiang Zhai did not delay for a moment. He did not care that there were outsiders present, sat cross-legged, and began to practice internal energy to heal his injuries.

Zhu Xuan and the other two looked at each other and left the room quietly.

When the door closed, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other again. The tension was gone.
Instead, they all sighed and went back to their own business.

……

Another place, wilderness,

The bonfire is burning and the flames are blazing.

Wow!
Chu Zhou also spat out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed directly onto the flame, causing the flame to explode for more than three feet.

"Elder brother, are you okay?"

Yi Huai looked worried, but Chu Zhou waved his hands and ignored him. Instead, he continued to vomit blood. He vomited seven or eight times in a row. His breath became weak before he finally stopped.

Chu Zhou took a long breath and casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the corner of his clothes, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

"Apply the medicine!"

As he spoke, Chu Zhou stretched out his hand and saw a small hole on his right arm, which went straight through the muscles and bones, allowing one to see from one end to the other.

The edges of the flesh and blood were already charred black, as if they had been vaporized.

However, Chu Zhou's physique is extraordinary after all. Under the charred black skin, buds are already growing, revealing fresh flesh and blood, and are constantly repairing themselves.

At this time, Xu Cheng was busy applying some "tissue regeneration and pain relief" ointment to Chu Zhou, and was wrapping him with boiled white cloth.

Seeing that the situation had been resolved, the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yi Huai asked again, "Big Brother, is the old man Wanxiang Zhaizhu really that powerful? How could he have hurt you so badly?"

Chu Zhou waved his hand and said, "His martial arts ability is just so-so, but he has a magic weapon in the shape of a mirror, which is a bit tricky."

Chu Zhou is now certain that before the martial arts civilization, there must have been a path to immortality in this world.

Otherwise, there would be no explanation for these magical instruments and treasures.

I just don’t know why the path to immortality was cut off, leading to the emergence of such weird things as secret arts.

Chu Zhou had a very bold guess that these might be somewhat related to the secret realm.

Of course, the reason why he vomited blood was that on the one hand he was indeed injured, and on the other hand, he was actually using these injuries to force out the old blood in his body.

The marrow training stage is divided into two parts. He has completed the marrow cleansing and the blood transfusion, which means removing the old blood and replacing it with new blood. The one just now counts as one of them.

So, this injury is not without benefits.

As for how the round mirror magic weapon finally broke?

Now we have to talk about the course “Introduction to the Shock System Magic”.
