Chapter 762: Holy Body

Zhang Zhiwen didn't seem to notice anything, and the locust tree behind him began to twist and deform, and finally turned into a monster. Under the moonlight, it opened its bloody mouth and slowly leaned towards Zhang Zhiwen's head.

Zhang Zhiwen still didn't react, as if he had lost any consciousness after entering into meditation. Even though the locust tree monster was about to swallow him up at this moment, he didn't move at all.

But just when the locust tree was about to swallow him up, a sword light instantly penetrated the locust tree monster.

The entire bloody mouth of the locust tree monster was cut off, and a large amount of green blood splashed out. The locust tree monster screamed and roared, and the trunk twisted and struggled wildly, but the sword light swept across again, cutting it in half, and a large amount of green liquid burst out again, and the locust tree monster was completely motionless.

From the appearance of the sword light to the killing of the locust tree, it was only a few breaths of time, and a person slowly walked out of the woods. This person was the Taoist priest Zhang Zhiwen had seen before.

The Taoist priest was about 40 or 50 years old, with a beard, wearing a linen robe, holding a big sword. He walked in front of Zhang Zhiwen like a dragon and a tiger, and Zhang Zhiwen slowly opened his eyes.

Zhang Zhiwen glanced at the Taoist priest, then he stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for saving my life."

"Who are you?"

The Taoist priest looked at Zhang Zhiwen, frowning slightly. He seemed to have seen Zhang Zhiwen before, but he seemed to have forgotten where he had seen Zhang Zhiwen.

"I am Zhao Tieqing."

Zhang Zhiwen made up a name casually, but he still subconsciously observed the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was full of demonic aura, obviously not an ordinary person, but the Taoist priest was actually here to kill demons, which made Zhang Zhiwen very confused.

"No, you are definitely not Zhao Tieqing, I have seen you before, eh, no, you are using the art of disguise!"

The Taoist priest was so powerful that he seemed to see through the changes in Zhang Zhiwen's appearance caused by the changes in his facial muscles at a glance, and he directly reached out to grab Zhang Zhiwen's face.

But Zhang Zhiwen slightly sidestepped and avoided it. The Taoist priest couldn't help but exclaimed slightly, as if he didn't expect Zhang Zhiwen to react much faster after not seeing him for such a short time.

Zhang Zhiwen didn't expect that he was injured here, and after healing here, his Xuanyin Xuantai actually improved, faintly improving towards Xuanyin Jintai, which is the real Nascent Soul realm.

Of course, Zhang Zhiwen also needs time, but he didn't intend to move just now. He was constantly absorbing a strange power from this place. This power was very primitive, but it was of great benefit to his body.

While absorbing this strange power, he increased the strength of his body. He didn't care about the attack of the locust tree behind him. With the cultivation level of the locust tree that was not enough to build the foundation, it couldn't move his body at all.

But he didn't expect that the Taoist priest actually came to save him. This was the second time the Taoist priest saved him. He didn't know this Taoist priest. Anyway, there was no such person in his memory, but Zhang Zhiwen vaguely felt that this Taoist priest was probably someone he had encountered in his previous life.

This secret book will not appear some people for no reason, especially those who are very closely related to him. This Taoist priest is a person who is very predestined with him. He appeared twice and saved him twice. This person must be an acquaintance in his previous life.

And this Taoist priest seems to be real, not a particularly illusory existence. Indistinctly, Zhang Zhiwen feels that this place like hell should be a real plane, which is a bit powerful, because if he dies here, he will really die.

But before Zhang Zhiwen thought about it, the Taoist priest suddenly made another move, and this time he directly used physiognomy, which was intended to take Zhang Zhiwen down.

Zhang Zhiwen was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Taoist priest seemed to have to figure out who he was, but Zhang Zhiwen didn't know how to explain to him. He also knew that the Taoist priest was not a bad person. Although the Taoist priest was full of evil spirits, he looked a bit righteous, which was also a very strange thing.

In a flash, after the Taoist's physiognomy was used, this area directly became the Taoist's area. Zhang Zhiwen was unable to move in an instant. His strength was not enough to fight against the physiognomy, and the Taoist did not seem to intend to hurt him, so the physiognomy only made Zhang Zhiwen take off his disguise.

This surprised Zhang Zhiwen. Although he could not resist the suppression of the physiognomy, he could struggle if he tried his best, but Zhang Zhiwen knew that the other party had no malice and did not actually cause any harm to him.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen naturally had no need to struggle, because fighting against the physiognomy required a huge price, and after he was stripped of his disguise by the Taoist's physiognomy, his true appearance was naturally revealed.

"Lord?!"

The Taoist was shocked and looked at Zhang Zhiwen in disbelief.

Obviously, the Taoist recognized Zhang Zhiwen's identity, but Zhang Zhiwen had no idea what was going on, so he was a little stunned.

"My Lord? How did you..."

The Taoist priest was extremely surprised. Obviously, he didn't expect that Lord Zhang would come back to life. But he quickly came to his senses. He half-knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully: "Your subordinate greets your Lord!"

Zhang Zhiwen was even more surprised to see this scene. This Taoist priest was actually the Lord's subordinate. It seemed that something unusual had happened here.

The Taoist priest saw that Zhang Zhiwen was still standing there in a daze. He couldn't help but stand up, and then approached Zhang Zhiwen and asked: "My Lord, you don't recognize your subordinate, do you?"

Zhang Zhiwen came back to his senses, and then he looked at the Taoist priest, shook his head, and said, "I am not the Marquis, you may have recognized the wrong person."

Zhang Zhiwen was telling the truth. The other party saved him twice, and he didn't want to deceive the Taoist priest.

But after hearing this, the Taoist priest frowned and said, "Marquis, don't you recognize your subordinate?"

Zhang Zhiwen nodded this time. He really didn't know the Taoist priest. He naturally couldn't make up stories. If something went wrong, it would be difficult to deal with. This Taoist priest could save him, so this Taoist priest must be a good person. Why bother to deceive a good person?

Besides, he was really not a Marquis. He felt that this so-called Marquis must be involved in a lot of things behind him, and he didn't want to be involved. He even knew the power of karma. Naturally, he had to be calm and not mess around, otherwise the reincarnated Taoist soul could not save him.

But after seeing him like this, the Taoist priest was still a little surprised, but soon, the Taoist priest suddenly realized, so he asked again: "My Lord, did you escape from the underworld? It's the golden gate, you broke through, right?"

Zhang Zhiwen really didn't expect that this Taoist priest knew a lot of things, and even knew about the underworld, but he still nodded and said: "Yes, but I am definitely not the Lord you said, I came from outside, maybe you won't believe it, but I may not be from this world, but let me put it this way, I don't know why I suddenly went to the underworld, and then I rushed out of the underworld with the monsters who fled..."

"No, no..."

The Taoist priest stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhang Zhiwen's words, and then said, "My Lord, let's not talk about anything else, let's not talk about monsters or not, this monster is nonsense, only those who eat people are monsters, we are not monsters, and there are no monsters in the underworld?"

Zhang Zhiwen was stunned, what does this mean? This Taoist priest is clearly full of demonic energy, so why does he still think he is not a demon?

Moreover, when Zhang Zhiwen was in the underworld, he also used demonic power, so he was also half a demon, so how could he not be a demon?

Seeing Zhang Zhiwen was a little surprised, the Taoist priest said: "My Lord, at the beginning of the world, all kinds of energy existed, whether it was demonic energy or human energy, it is the same, so what about human energy? What about demonic energy? It is just a kind of energy."

Zhang Zhiwen did not expect that this Taoist priest would actually explain to him about the energy between heaven and earth, but he felt that what the Taoist priest said was true and there was some truth in it.

"You see, this so-called demon is a person who changes a lot. Do you think your subordinate is a person who changes a lot?"

The Taoist priest asked.

Zhang Zhiwen shook his head when he heard this. This Taoist priest did not look like a treacherous and changeable person.

"Then my Lord, do you think you are a person who changes a lot?"

The Taoist priest asked again.

Zhang Zhiwen was a little amused. He and the Taoist priest were originally talking about other things, but they ended up discussing what monsters are.

However, Zhang Zhiwen shook his head. He was definitely not a changeable person. His heart was firm, how could he be compared with monsters.

"That's it. It's not a so-called monster. It's the cultivation of the so-called changeable energy and then the changeable weird thoughts, plus the changeable means. This is what is called a monster."

The Taoist priest gave a definition of monsters. This definition was extremely reasonable, and this definition was beyond Zhang Zhiwen's reach. Zhang Zhiwen had always thought that monsters were monsters if they had monster energy, but now it seems that this may not be the case.

To define a monster, it must be defined as it. It must be a monster with monster power in the body, monster thoughts in the heart, and monster things happening one after another. This is what is called a monster.

If that's the case, then it can also be applied to beast soul cultivators and Taoist soul cultivators. The so-called beast soul cultivators are cultivators who cultivate beast soul primordial spirits, not strange beasts, because they don't have the bloodthirsty thoughts and behaviors of strange beasts.

The same is true for Taoist soul cultivators. They don't have the thoughts and behaviors of strange beasts or monsters, but these beast soul cultivators or Taoist soul cultivators, once they eat human pills, once they have bloodthirsty evil thoughts, once they have these bloodthirsty evil behaviors, then they become strange beasts!

At this moment, Zhang Zhiwen's thoughts became completely clear. Although this Taoist priest has a demonic aura, he can only be regarded as a demon soul cultivator, that is, a demon cultivator, while beast soul cultivators are beast cultivators, and Taoist soul cultivators are not Taoist cultivators.

But whether it is a demon cultivator, a beast cultivator, or a Taoist cultivator, they are all classified as cultivators, and they are essentially human cultivators, but the ways of cultivation are different, and the three are almost difficult to be compatible, which Zhang Zhiwen also knows.

In this case, the monsters in this world are strange beasts, mutant beasts, or monsters. Those who can be called monsters are definitely not good things, they are evil, strange, changeable, and unscrupulous.

Therefore, demon cultivators are not evil people, such as the Taoist priest in front of him, not a monster, and the demon monk before was evil, that is, a monster.

At this time, Zhang Zhiwen completely understood the general situation of these things. This is the first time he has understood these things since he set foot on Wanxian Island. These things may be rarely discussed by the high-ranking immortal officials or royal families of the Immortal Dynasty, or they know them in essence, but keep them secret.

These are not things Zhang Zhiwen knew. We need to look back and see what happened. At least Lin Jingyuan mentioned the monster, so Lin Jingyuan should know about the existence of monsters, but monsters must be evil.

Of course, Zhang Zhiwen also knows that this world is not a very clear division between good and evil. Many people even think that some so-called decent monks are actually worse than evil cultivators. However, the definition of Taoist monks is accurate. They are neither evil, nor treacherous nor changeable. , those are normal monks, and on the other hand, they are monsters or other monsters.

This definition is correct, this is the normal definition.

So why did this definition come from a Taoist priest? Obviously, this definition was defined as something else by some powerful monsters.

Sure enough, the Taoist priest said again: "So, Lord Marquis, you must not be bewitched by those monsters. I advised you not to listen to the bewitchment of the old monster of Taipingzhai at the beginning. You see, you almost died. Now, that old monster The demon is causing trouble everywhere, and after seeing you escape from the underworld, you actually I'm chasing you to kill you. I don't know why. I didn't expect you to be Mr. Hou. No wonder the old demon rushed over. I said, "Why don't you feel comfortable staying in Dayan City?" Killing such an inexplicable young man like you in the wilderness outside..."

Zhang Zhiwen did not expect that the demon monk before was an old demon from the so-called Taipingzhai. What was this Taipingzhai? Another thing, this old demon actually rushed over to kill him immediately? What kind of hatred is this? No wonder it was so difficult to resist him right away. Fortunately, the Taoist priest arrived, otherwise he would have almost died here.

Of course, if Zhang Zhiwen fights, he can escape, but the price must be high. Maybe his body will be destroyed, so how can he improve his body? Without his physical body, I'm afraid there will be another hardship and danger waiting for him here, right?

Moreover, Zhang Zhiwen is not sure what is going on here. Anyway, it is difficult for Dao Soul to work, and the demon power is also extremely limited. Especially since his demon power cannot be improved, he is now stuck in the realm of the ancient Great Perfection Demon Soul Yuanshen and cannot save it. , he must return to the true realm, or to the false realm, only then can he have a chance to improve the demon soul soul.

In addition, it was right for him to go back, otherwise he would not be able to leave the secret realm, but now he is trapped in this place. This place is like hell, with evil spirits soaring to the sky, so he calls this place hell.

At this moment, Zhang Zhiwen was very surprised by what the Taoist priest said, and the Taoist priest continued: "But don't worry, Mr. Hou, since my subordinate is here, you don't have to be afraid of the old demon. Wait until Mr. Hou's soul is completely restored." Once he returns to his throne and becomes a saint, the Marquis can personally kill the old monster!"
