Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 352 Second Level

Light flashed and Zhang Miao found that he had arrived in a new cave. This cave looks extremely gorgeous, the surrounding stone walls are polished, the smooth stone walls are covered with golden light, and the runes are shining with their light. Compared with the grotto just now, this place is like a palace.

There is also a platform in the center of the cave. On the platform, two people are standing at the moment. One is the handsome young man, and the other is the beautiful woman with an astonishing singing voice.

At this moment, the young man was getting close to the woman, but the woman acted coldly and didn't seem to want to talk to him. When the two of them saw Zhang Miao falling from the sky, the young master stopped pestering the woman. Instead, he walked towards Zhang Miao and asked, "I am Chong Hu, the second son of the direct line of the Yuan family. Seeing my friend meet me, I don't know how to call him?"

Zhang Miao glanced at Yuan Chonghu and said directly, "My name is Zhang Miao."

After hearing Zhang Miao's introduction, Yuan Chonghu was stunned, and then he sneered and said, "It turns out he is a casual cultivator who sneaked in. You are quite capable."

His words made the girls next to him look askance. The girl was also a little surprised. How did this casual cultivator sneak into them? Although this competition is open to all monks in the Ninth Heaven Realm, up to now, it has been almost monopolized by the disciples of the aristocratic families, and other casual cultivators have no chance to join.

First of all, to participate in this competition, you must be a monk in the Earthly Immortal Realm. Secondly, only monks in the Earthly Immortal Realm who are younger than a certain age will receive guidance. Let’s not talk about whether ordinary monks can be promoted to the Earthly Immortal Realm. Even if those monks can be promoted to the Earthly Immortal Realm, they are usually very old.

In this world, promotion to the Immortal Realm requires some key resources, and these key resources are firmly controlled by aristocratic families. Even if there are some wild monks and geniuses who bypass these resources and advance to the fairyland, they must be very old and cannot participate in this competition.

However, there are no absolutes in the world. It is inevitable that there will always be some wild monks with extraordinary talents who are promoted to Earth Immortals when they are of the right age, and then they happen to receive guidance. This kind of thing has happened before.

However, after something like this happens, the children of the aristocratic families here usually all agree to eliminate the outsider first...

At this moment, the magnificent cave suddenly lit up, and then a light voice sounded.

"Welcome all heroes to enter the second level. This level will test your character. Heroes, face your inner demons!"

As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Miao suddenly felt very sleepy. His eyelids were fighting, and he fell asleep instantly as if he had been given anesthesia. Not only did he fall asleep, the other two people also fell asleep...
-

"Master! Master! It's time to get up!" A gentle voice sounded in Zhang Miao's ears. Hearing this voice, Zhang Miao woke up half asleep. He opened his eyes and saw a pair of eyes that were both angry and sad looking at him. Looking at him, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He directly pulled the owner of these eyes into his arms, hugged her and kissed her.

"Master... um... no..." The girl in her arms enjoyed it for a while, and then struggled. She pushed Zhang Miao away hard, blushed and gasped, "Master, today is your happy day. You can't mess around like this. If the master finds out, you will be scolded."

When Zhang Miao heard this, he felt a little impatient for no reason. He said dullly: "Qingqing, you know, I don't know this young lady from the Xue family at all. My father asked me to marry her. I don't like her at all."

When he said this, he hugged Qingqing with his backhand, and said in her ear: "You know, I have liked you since I was a child. If dad hadn't allowed it, you would have been mine..."

When Qingqing heard this, her whole body softened a little. She struggled and said: "Qingqing... Qingqing is just the young master's maid. How can I become the young master's wife? It is Qingqing's blessing to continue to serve the young master in the future." As she spoke, she secretly wiped away tears. Then he gritted his teeth and said to Zhang Miao: "Master, hurry up and get ready, you are going to welcome the bride!"

Looking at Qing Qing's appearance, Zhang Miao also sighed. He grabbed Qing Qing's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will never let you down. Identity is like loess to me, and I will not dislike you because of your background." You, you will always be my favorite Qingqing."

Qingqing also sighed, and she accepted her fate. She just took the groom's clothes and said to Zhang Miao: "Okay, I know what the young master wants, but you still have to marry the young lady today. If you marry the young lady, the master will feel relieved." Let you build a palace and inherit the position of Duke."

Qingqing said while changing Zhang Miao's clothes. Zhang Miao stood in front of the bronze mirror. The young man in the mirror was brave and heroic. Qingqing changed him into auspicious clothes, put on riding boots, and tied a sword, jade, gold sachet, and colorful silk ribbon around his waist. He put a sword hairpin on his head and a red bird enamel crown. After dressing up, a brave, handsome, gorgeous and rich young man appeared in the mirror.

After getting ready, the first gongs and drums sounded outside. This was the gongs and drums urging departure. The auspicious time had come and it was time to go out to welcome the bride.

Zhang Miao walked outside, and a heroic middle-aged man was already waiting for him. This is his father, Zhang Erhe, who is worshiped as the Prime Minister and belongs to the Dazhu Kingdom. He has the title of Duke Zheng of the first rank. He has food for ten thousand households and two thousand mercenaries.

When he saw Zhang Miaocai coming out, his stern face was a little unhappy, but after seeing his appearance, he felt a little happy inside.

'This is indeed my son. He is a talented person, good at literature and martial arts, and he is very similar to me... It's just a pity... Alas...' Every family has a hard time to read. He is a dignified Duke and the Prime Minister. He is a very popular minister, but he also has his own troubles.

When Zhang Miao saw his old father, he also saluted and shouted nonchalantly: "Father!"

Zhang Erhe nodded, and then said: "Let's go quickly, the auspicious time has arrived, don't waste it!"

Zhang Miao nodded, then climbed onto a magnificent white horse, and set off with a huge welcoming procession. Today, he is going to the Xue family, fifty miles outside the city, to marry his wife, Xue Lihua.

The Xue family is also the family of the Duke of the country. The official worship is the general. The Xue family has a son, but he has been frail and sickly since childhood and rarely attends gatherings of children from big families like them.

The Zhang family and the Xue family seek political unity, so they marry into one body and advance and retreat together. Zhang Miao is very disgusted with this. He prefers free marriage. However, people in aristocratic families often cannot help themselves.

The wedding procession walked through the streets and alleys with music and music. Pedestrians on the road stopped to congratulate one after another. The etiquette officers who opened the way continued to distribute money and gifts, making everyone continue to congratulate.

Zhang Miao sat bored on the white horse. He waved to the people around him from time to time. In this regard, he has always been known for being peaceful and close to the people. Suddenly, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a sedan out of the corner of his eye. The sedan stopped at the corner of the street, its whereabouts obscured by tall mulberry trees. But Zhang Miao was so familiar with that sedan that he could tell whose sedan it belonged to at a glance.

It was a soft sedan belonging to the Ge family, a third-rank government official. The person in the sedan was either Ge Rong or Ge Fu. The Ge family is also an in-law of the Zhang family. Zhang's father married a girl from the Ge family. If counted, Ge Rong and Ge Fu are still his two cousins. The three of them were childhood sweethearts, and they had no guesses when they were young, until they first fell in love and got married. However, when Zhang's father's official position became bigger and bigger, and he even became a prince and prime minister, the Ge family became somewhat unworthy of him. This once made Zhang Miao very painful and kept him awake all night. Ever since they found out about Zhang Miao and Xue Lihua's marriage, the two cousins ​​never paid attention to him again. He came to visit them many times, but they were always rejected. The old oaths of love and the flowers before and under the moon are ultimately no match for the ruthlessness of reality.

At this moment, Zhang Miao looked at the soft sedan, and he even had the urge to jump off the horse and hug his two cousins. But the servants in the wedding team were watching him closely, for fear that he would do something extraordinary.

Finally, the soft sedan disappeared from sight, and Zhang Miao felt even more uncomfortable. He was a little depressed until he left the city gate.

Outside the city, grass grows and orioles fly, the sun is balmy, the breeze is gentle, large tracts of fertile farmland are distributed on both sides of the road, distant mountains are green and green, the eyes are wide and the trees are sparse. This broad scene makes Zhang Miao's eyes light up, and the depression in his heart is much less.

Continuing to move forward, Zhang Miao, who was sitting on the horse, always felt that someone was watching him secretly, but when he looked around, he didn't see anyone in particular. There were some farmers working nearby. When these farmers saw Zhang Miao's huge welcoming team, they all stayed away.

Zhang Miao had some guesses. When the team slowly came to a dense forest, suddenly a whistling arrow came from the dense forest!

The next second, countless arrows flew out from the dense forest, instantly hitting many people who were welcoming the bride.

"Enemy attack!" The servants and subordinates who were on the wedding team shouted quickly. They immediately drew out their swords, raised their shields, and surrounded Zhang Miao. Others, after a brief panic, immediately hid behind the truck carrying the bride price.

Zhang Miao was determined. He quickly took out the sword from his waist, swung the sword tightly, and knocked away the flying arrows one by one. Although the sword on his waist is a ritual weapon, it is also made of fine steel and is no worse than an ordinary magic weapon.

"Form up! Defend the enemy!" Zhang Miao shouted loudly, looking towards the dense forest. Immediately afterwards, many masked men rushed out of the dense forest. They were armed with steel knives. Their number was no less than 300, and there were many movements between them. Xingwu Zhiqi is obviously no ordinary robber.

Zhang Miao snorted coldly and said: "The emperor dares to plunder under his feet, and he also dares to plunder the Zhang family of Zheng Guogong. I think you are tired of living! Form an army and kill the enemy!"

After he finished speaking, the troops and servants who were protecting him held shields and long knives and pressed forward step by step. The two sides were on the verge of breaking out and started fighting immediately.

Zhang Miao also jumped off the white horse at this moment. This place is surrounded by dense forests, and the horse cannot sprint. It is better to fight on foot than to ride on horseback. Zhang Miao learned how to fight with bow and horse when he was young. At that time, his family had not yet become prosperous, and his old father was just an ordinary school captain. In the past ten years, his father had fought on the left and right and made great achievements, and he did not relax in martial arts. Naturally He is also skilled in bow and horse.

At this moment, he was leading his tribe of servants to attack the enemy step by step. Even though the number of enemies was several times that of his, they could not defeat them in an instant.

The two sides were fighting fiercely for a moment. At this moment, two women suddenly jumped out of the forest. These two women were holding swords. One of them was slightly taller and dressed in red. One person is slightly short and dressed in blue. The two looked after each other, and the moment they leapt out of the forest, they killed the masked men.

Unlike Zhang Miao, these two women's swordsmanship is flexible and changeable, and they follow the path of Jianghu, rather than Zhang Miao's path of openness and harmony. But the moment Zhang Miao saw the two of them, his face was immediately filled with surprise and joy. He quickly shouted happily and worriedly: "Rou Rou! Danyang! Why are you here? You have to be careful!"

Hearing his words, the tall girl in red snorted coldly, seeming to be very unhappy. She struck even more fiercely, stabbing the two masked men to death in an instant with one sword strike.

The other slightly shorter woman winked at him and said with lip language: "You're done! You made aunt angry!"

These two girls, the one in red is called Du Wenrou and the one in blue is Xi Danyang. They are both master and apprentice, but also aunt and nephew. When Zhang Miao was traveling abroad, he encountered a martial arts sect - the Divine Sword Sect. These two women were from the Divine Sword Sect. He and the two women solved a major issue together, so the bond is very deep.

Du Wenrou in red has a fiery personality and is a woman who speaks her mind. Her free and enthusiastic personality deeply attracted Zhang Miao, who was always attentive to her back then.

Xi Danyang in blue is innocent and cute. She lost her parents when she was young. She is sensitive and considers others. This kind of kindness also deeply attracted Zhang Miao.

During the days when he and the two women traveled together in the world, he used his young, wealthy, handsome and unrestrained abilities to buy BMWs, cruise ships, precious medicines, and magical weapons. Although the two women came from a large sect in the world, the sect did not belong to them. The two women were also living in poverty. How had they ever seen this kind of power? He was soon moved by Zhang Miao and became his best friend.

Later, when Zhang Miao returned home, they also came back. However, they were scared off by the Zhang family's status, so they only stayed for a few days and then left quietly. Zhang Miao had been looking for them for a long time.

Unexpectedly, they would meet here and help him deal with the enemy.

When he saw the two women this time, Zhang Miao naturally would not let them go. He took a few steps quickly, swung his sword and killed several masked men who were an eyesore. He came directly to the two women and said softly: "When you left without saying goodbye, It almost broke my heart, I don’t know what you think, but you and I have been friends for so long, don’t you still know my heart and still can’t trust me?”

Hearing Zhang Miao's question, Du Wenrou, who had a hot temper, didn't dare to look into his eyes. She could only purse her lips and slashed to death the masked man who came to kill him with her sword. When Xi Danyang heard what he said, she just showed an apologetic expression. She glanced at Du Wenrou, and the meaning was obvious. This was all Du Wenrou's idea!

"Rou Rou, do you want me to take out my heart and lungs to show you before you believe me?" Zhang Miao understood immediately, and he immediately said to Du Wen Rou.

Du Wenrou still pursed her lips and didn't answer. With her upright personality, her eyes were red at this moment and she felt uncomfortable. She suddenly rushed forward a few steps and slashed a masked man to death with her sword. She seemed not to want to talk to Zhang Miao at all.

When Zhang Miao saw this scene, he was heartbroken and came directly to Du Wenrou. He stood in front of Du Wenrou and walked straight towards her sword.

How could Du Wenrou react? The sword pierced directly into his heart. At this critical moment, Du Wenrou deflected the sword sharply, and the sword penetrated directly into Zhang Miao's shoulder socket!

Blood flowed out immediately, and Xi Danyang shouted "Ouch", as if the sword was piercing her body!
