Chapter 254 Very embarrassing
When Zhang Liang finished his story, he noticed that Da Zhao Lao was looking at him with a strange look.
"I didn't expect you to actually encounter a demon, but how is this possible? The demon showed up, but why didn't the formation activate? Where did you meet her?"
So Zhang Liang roughly described the location at that time.
The elder in white robe pondered for a moment and said, "There is indeed a formation at that location. Logically, the appearance of the demon should have triggered the formation. Why is there no reaction? Moreover, demons usually lose control and kill people when they see them, but she retreated and did not hurt you. What's going on?" the elder in white robe asked puzzledly.
"Elder, you said that all the previous disciples turned into demons. Maybe that's the case. The demon we encountered might be your old disciple. But something may have happened to him, so he retained his sanity and didn't kill innocent people. He also knew about the existence of the formation, so he might be able to avoid it. Who knows?"
The elder in white robe thought for a moment, and then said, "Perhaps this is indeed possible. The disciples we sent in at the beginning were all direct descendants of the sect, and they all knew about the existence of the formation. They also participated in the deployment of the formation. If the demon is really our disciple and still has intelligence, perhaps it can really avoid the formation. Let's put it this way! The demon issue is extremely important. If it is not resolved, there may be accidents when the King's inheritance is opened. Let's deal with this matter first, and then talk about the King's inheritance."
Zhang Liang nodded, and the elder in white robes said, "Then please ask this young gentleman to go with my disciple, hoping to bring the demon back. If she is really our disciple, she may be afraid of us because she has turned into a demon and dare not meet us. At that time, if we can invite her back, we will do so first. If not, we will bring her back together. We must find out her identity. Otherwise, the next action will be very dangerous. As for this girl, she is seriously injured and cannot move, so she should stay here. I am quite interested in the chess game, so I can talk to her about chess and let her recover from her injuries."
Dong Jun nodded and said to Zhang Liang, "You go with him first. I will stay here to recover. Otherwise, if I follow you, it will cause trouble for you." Zhang Liang thought about it and realized that it was true.
Then, the man in black took Zhang Liang away. Along the way, the man in black took the initiative to talk to Zhang Liang: "My last name is Zhou Yan, and I will trouble you to lead the way in a while."
Zhang Liang nodded and said, "You're welcome, Brother Zhou. I'll take the liberty of calling you Brother Zhou."
Zhang Liang responded politely that it was crucial to get closer to Zhou Yan. Whether now or in the future, Zhou Yan would be the key figure in entering the King's Inheritance. Moreover, Zhou Yan was the only one who had seen the King's Inheritance. If he asked him for advice, his hope of survival would be greatly increased.
After three days of traveling, the two finally found the place they had arrived at first. After arriving, Zhang Liang led Zhou Yan to the tree. Pointing at the tree, he said to Zhou Yan, "I was seriously injured at the time. Thanks to this tree, eating its fruit has greatly helped my injury. I wonder what kind of tree this is, brother Zhou?"
After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he looked up at Zhou Yan next to him, only to see him open his mouth in surprise.
Zhang Liang patted him and asked, "Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Yan stammered, "You just said you picked seven or eight fruits from this tree, ate three, gave three to the woman, and even fed three to the monkey."
Zhang Liang nodded, and seeing that Zhou Yan looked unhappy, he asked carefully, "Brother Zhou, what's wrong? Is this tree precious?"
Zhou Yan had an urge to go crazy, and suddenly said loudly: "Oh my God, there are four sacred trees in our holy land, and this is one of them. This tree blooms and bears fruit only after 300 years. I didn't expect you to pick all the fruits on the tree. Even I have only eaten one of them. Tell me, what should I say to you?"
After hearing Zhou Yan's words, Zhang Liang stuck out his tongue mischievously and said, "It's so precious! I actually wasted so much. I remember that I only ate half of a fruit and threw the other half away."
Zhou Yan heard this and immediately had the urge to beat him up. Suddenly, he grabbed Zhang Liang and prepared to teach him a lesson.
Zhang Liang saw that the situation was not good and immediately ran away. But he failed to escape and was caught by Zhou Yan, who beat him up severely. However, Zhang Liang was not the type to be bullied. You punch me and I kick you. After the fight, both of them were exhausted and collapsed on the ground, like two dead dogs.
Zhang Liang had two dark circles around his eyes, and Zhou Yan, who was lying next to him, was not much better at the moment. There was a big shoe print on his left cheek, and his once handsome hair was now messy like a chicken coop.
The two of them rested for a while, then stood up and sat down. Zhou Yan said, "Well, it's destined, so just eat it. I'm not as old-fashioned as Fourth Uncle, but don't let him know about this, otherwise he will be angry to death."
At this time, Zhang Liang also felt very embarrassed. He had just arrived and he had already picked all the fruits from the sacred tree that had been blooming and bearing fruit for 300 years...
