Chapter 936 See You Again Zhang Zong

Five months have passed, and Li Qi has no intention of ending.

Yao Ji slumped on the spot in boredom, looking as if she had no love for life. She was like a college student who had taken eight advanced mathematics classes in a row. She was in a trance and breathless.

But even so, it still reveals a graceful and lazy look.

There is no one to care about the spring scenery. Drinking wine beside the flowers depends on the depth. The peonies are red and fragrant, and there is no attitude at all. My whole body is full of sadness.

There was no way, Yao Ji's temperament and appearance were there, even if she was paralyzed, she could feel like a concubine. However, Li Qi was busy studying the specific situation of the entire Shinto, so he didn't take a look at it at all.

So far, Li Qi hates Yao Ji more than any other feelings. In fact, he doesn't really want to stay with Yao Ji.

I think it's the same when Yao Ji looks at Li Qi. They have different paths, so they naturally dislike each other.

However, the next moment, Yao Ji suddenly sat up.

"Hey, you guys, don't you hate Sheshi? Why did you suddenly appear this time?" Yao Ji said to the air next to her.

A figure suddenly appeared in the air.

A word of green gauze, a hydrating Taoist robe, a silk ribbon, beautiful eyebrows, and a majestic appearance.

The person who came was none other than the Little Heavenly Master, Zhang Zong.

But now, it is obvious that he cannot be called the 'Little Heavenly Master'. This title is outdated.

Because he is already at the third level! He is no longer a disciple, but takes on his own role, becoming one of the faces of the new generation of Taoism!

"I hate it, but I still have to do what needs to be done. I can't really just sit back and ignore it, right? Besides, I have a very good relationship with Li Qi, so what's the difficulty in coming to help him this time?" Zhang Zong walked to Yao Ji's side with a smile.

Li Qi was busy observing. He just opened his eyes to show that he was aware of Zhang Zong's arrival, waved his hand to say hello, and continued working.

Zhang Zong also nodded to Li Qi, but he looked a little unhappy.

He thought that he had endured a lot of hardships and finally achieved perfection, surpassing Li Qi. But in the end, he tried his best to break through to the third level, but he was still one step behind Li Qi.

When he came out of seclusion, he found out that Li Qi had already broken through the third level for hundreds of millions of years.

Grandma, that's unpleasant.

"Zhang Zong, you look like this now, do you want to join me and beat him up?" Yao Ji saw the displeasure in Zhang Zong's expression and suggested.

"With you? What are you doing next to me? Waving flags and shouting?" Zhang Zong curled his lips.

When the time comes to fight, if you don't do it yourself, Yao Ji will not be qualified to watch the battle even if she is a fifth-level fighter.

"Forget it, make tea, make tea, make tea!" Yao Ji urged.

Zhang Zong likes tea. This is a very famous thing. Everyone looks at this skill.

"To you, sencha is just like a cow chewing peonies. Does it make any difference when you drink it?" Zhang Zong found a place to sit down.

"You care about me?" Yao Ji crossed her arms and said, "I'm here now, and you still want to leave like this?"

"When sencha is cooked, its taste is so sweet and fragrant that the drinker can't bear to swallow it. However, when ordinary people taste the tea, it is all bitter and astringent. They still endure the hardship and praise the good taste of the tea. It's just arty. I don't know the taste of tea. I'm just worried that you've wasted it. My tea." Zhang Zong said while placing various utensils.

Making tea is just for self-pleasure. If you have a good day and a good day, you have two or three close friends, your mind is free and your hands are free, and you are not tired of talking, you can use your skills to help you feel good.

If you are in a bad mood, surrounded by mundane things, and there are stupid words and nonsense around you, which are neither pure nor elegant, it is better to drink water and make tea before leaving.

but--

Now that the tea sets are all laid out, it is enough to see that Zhang Zong is not as unhappy as he appears.

Yao Ji also noticed it, so she pestered Zhang Zong to bring out his good tea.

It's a pity that good tea is too expensive, and Yao Ji doesn't have enough coffee seats, so she can't ask for it.

Zhang Zong began to make tea, his technique was as neat and clean as ever, it was almost an art.

The key to making tea is to wait for the soup. I saw him gently making the secrets, flying over the spiritual spring in the air, and diving into the water. The water was transparent and curved like a hook.

Water is the local spiritual water in Kunlun Mountain. I think Zhang Zong collected it when he came. He likes to make tea. Naturally, he likes to get some of water, fire and tea everywhere.

This water comes from the heavy source of the Haifu River. It is located in the northeast corner of Kunlun. It can be said to be the essence of water in the veins of all mountains in the world. It originates from Kunlun and goes up to Tianhan. It can be said to be the top water source.

He also points the talisman below, and the heavenly fire, the earthly fire, and the human fire merge into one, which is the 'true fire'. Among them, there are four heavenly fires, five earthly fires, and three human fires, which together make eleven, plus Zhang Zong's own elixir fire. , a total of twelve kinds of strange fire, each different. Among them are dragon fire, thunder fire, star spirit, flying fire, etc., which can stimulate different properties of water.

The fire burns in the mountain, and a strong wind blows from the sky, just like a mortal man waving a fan incessantly. The wind and fire intersect, and the heat is driving. After a while, the water boils and fine foam slowly rises, which is the eye of a crab. After a while, the huge foam jumps and dances, which is the fish. Eye.

Zhang Zong was observing carefully from the side and heard a slight sound for the first time. This was the sound of pines in the wind.

Pour out one or two spoonfuls of water from the crab's eyes, and pour it back in when the pine wind blows to stop it from boiling, and then add the tea leaves.

For two qian of tea leaves, the water will stop boiling. After a while, the water will boil again, like foam splashing on rushing waves, and the tea is ready.

However, it is most difficult at this time. If it is too much, it will become old. If it gets old, the fragrance of the tea will disappear and the water will become turbid.

If it is less than tender, it will be tender, and if it is tender, the tea aroma has not developed, and the water is still weak. Both of them are out of cooking, and if they are not cooked, they will fail. The water, fire and wind tea are all useless and cannot be saved.

Tea brewing is a delicate matter, and it is difficult to convey it through words. If you take it lightly, no one can help. However, Zhang Zong is an expert in this field. The water and fire methods are subtle and inexplicable, and there are few mistakes. After a while, the tea soup is out of the pot.

The tea is like jade, with pearly dewdrops, like a hanging rainbow, and the stars are thin and smokey, lingering around clouds and mist.

Looking at the stars and the air, you can see that the tea is floating in the wild, and the air is refreshing.

Yao Ji immediately picked up a cup and took a sip.

After tasting it, she smacked her lips and said, "Tsk, it's just average."

Three blue veins suddenly bulged on Zhang Zong's head, and the muscle lines on the hand holding the teapot became clear.

"Is this just average? You have high requirements." At this time, a voice suddenly came from the side.

I don't know when, Li Qi has come. He seems to have taken some time off from data processing to attend this tea party.

"Hey, Zhang Zong, you are so amazing. You have already reached the third rank. You must have suffered a lot, right?" Li Qi greeted him with a smile and took a sip of tea.

The fragrance of the tea was so strong that Li Qi's mind as a third rank felt clear.

If you find a planet and pour this cup of tea on it, the planet will probably be gem-like, and the whole body will be transformed into essence. The creatures on it will instantly transcend into energy life, and then become some kind of cultivation treasure land. Every five thousand years, dozens of civilizations will go there to start a genius battle royale, and the one who wins the game can get a golden finger or something.

Really good.

"Compared to you, I have suffered a lot, but it is also thanks to you. Do you know how long it took me to be promoted to the third rank?" Zhang Zong said.

Li Qi thought for a while, then looked at Zhang Zong and guessed: "One hundred billion years?"

"More than that, nineteen universes, I have experienced the destruction and rebirth of the universe nineteen times, and the time is about... 42 trillion years. You were already a third-grade at that time, so you didn't feel anything, right? I was a fourth-grade at that time, but I actually experienced nineteen universe reopenings..." Zhang Zong rubbed his face, as if he recalled something painful in the past.

"That's really a long, long time. Have all the fourth-grades experienced it?" Li Qi asked.

"No, if you stay in Tianxia, ​​you can rely on Tianxia to avoid such things. Only a few fourth-grades choose to go in, and almost all of them died. About six hundred people went in, and only thirty came out alive. Only two people were promoted, one of whom was me." Zhang Zong said so.

Tianxia is like an ark in the flood of world destruction. As long as you stay in Tianxia, ​​you can avoid the aftermath of the world destruction, and you don't need to experience the reopening of the universe, and you don't have to face the aftermath of the first-grade battle.

No, the first-grade battle itself is also an opportunity.

Many third-rank or fourth-rank people will choose to go to the aftermath of the first-rank battle to find possible opportunities.

However... one can die if you are not careful.

That is really very dangerous. If you accidentally insert yourself into the "key node" of their struggle, you may not know how you died, and even your existence will be erased.

Because once you go out, it is not so easy to go back. You must try your best to struggle to survive nineteen restarts, and this is a summary afterwards.

Once you go out as a party and face those universes, you don’t know how long the first-rank people will fight. This is a marathon with an unknown end.

You can’t slow down. Either run to the end or die on the way.

And even if you survive successfully, you may not be able to break through. No one will promise that you can break through the third rank as long as you persist. This is just an opportunity. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on yourself in the end.

However, it is obvious that Zhang Zong won in the end. He not only survived, but also successfully completed his goal.

After nineteen universe restarts, a total of forty-two trillion years, he finally reached the third rank, so that he could appear in this place now.

"Alas, it's really difficult. I don't know why you can do it so easily." Zhang Zong looked at Li Qi carefully, as if he wanted to understand what happened to this monster.

"Easy? I don't think it's easy. Now someone says that you have only survived a few universe restarts and have reached the third rank. It's so easy. Do you want to fight him?" Li Qi said to Zhang Zong.

"Of course, but I think I will definitely suffer more than you. After all, you have never experienced forty-two trillion years of suffering..."

"Really? Let's switch? You come and play with the demon." Li Qi suggested.

"Haha, I'd better decline. I'd better stay in my universe restart kiln. Even if it's better to see Mr. Zhu's face." Zhang Zong laughed and changed the subject.

When Mr. Zhu was mentioned, Li Qi also laughed.

This reminds me of the scene when the little master was angry because Li Qi broke through the fourth rank.

At that time, he was still thinking about playing tricks with Zhu Fengdan and hiding his thoughts.

Now thinking about it, it's really cute.

Children always like to say: "Adults don't know anything."

But, in fact, adults know a lot.

It just depends on whether they want to expose it.

After all, everything that children experience, adults have basically experienced, and they are all similar things.

The two began to reminisce.

Yao Ji next to them started drinking tea boredly.

Zhang Zong quietly changed the tea leaves to a lower quality one.

Yao Ji didn't taste it.

Zhang Zong was very happy.

Sure enough, he knew it.

Stupid words, no elegance, no grace, it's better to drink water.

Just give her some tea foam, don't waste the good tea leaves.

As for the other side, Li Qi and Zhang Zong's topic naturally came to: "Why are you here?"

"Well... if you ask me what I'm here for, I'll say I'm here to help you, do you believe it?" Zhang Zong answered while washing the tea pet.

"Believe, why not? Apart from this reason, what else can there be?" Li Qi was very straightforward: "It's because of humanity? I have news that humanity will target me, and humanity's current allies are reason and Taoism."

The Xianshi faction of Taoism, about half of the reason, and some martial arts are all fully supporting humanity, and there are even true immortals among them, which also makes humanity's combat power seem quite abundant.

Being able to fight three alone is naturally due to this reason.

"About this, in fact, it involves some secrets, and I didn't know it until I reached the third rank. Do you dare to listen?" Zhang Zong asked.

"Why not?" Li Qi answered immediately.

He had been puzzled for a long time about why the Xianshi Sect of the Taoist sect supported the human way, and it would be great if he could hear it.

As for the consequences...

Let's talk about it later. A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. The more the cause and effect are stirred, the more Li Qi knows. It seems to be a good thing at the moment.

"That's good, then I'll tell you." Zhang Zong was about to speak.

Yao Ji next to him blocked his ears.

As it was said before, knowing too many things can easily involve oneself in the 'key node'. Once a war breaks out, all the competition for the key node will affect all those who know about it.

The war of the high-ranking people is terrible.

There must be a reason why the secret is secret. Knowing these things is not always a good thing.

"The goal of the Xianshi Sect is actually the same as ours, that is, to pursue absolute 'freedom'. Do you know what freedom is?" Zhang Zong continued to ask.

"Knowing, absolute freedom without restraint, transcending everything, whether it is life and death, material, spiritual, moral, or anything else, absolute freedom that cannot be controlled by anything."

"Coming to and from all time and space at will, not bound by any things and concepts, absolute freedom that cannot be interpreted, this is the 'freedom' pursued by Taoism." Li Qi said so.

Zhang Zong'e said: "Don't you think that this goal is quite consistent with 'replacing heaven with man'?"

"As long as 'man' transcends all things and becomes the 'essence' of all things, then won't the entire Xianshi School participating in it also transcend?"
