Chapter 616

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but ask, "Since the beasts are hunting at the border of their territory, then the center of the Pi Yang's territory is naturally safe. Oh, Senior Brother Lu is right, I was careless."

Zhang Xiaohua slapped her forehead and said, "You took it for granted. Just now, Senior Brother said that we can encounter beasts. Since these beasts can go deep into the center of their territory, their strength is naturally extraordinary. If we encounter them, it will be extremely dangerous."

Lu Lihong nodded and said, "That's right. Don't look at the Pi Yang and Elk's docile appearance. If you provoke them, they will attack in groups. Moreover, they are very large in number and occupy a large area. No matter how fierce a beast is, it will be difficult to escape from their encirclement. Therefore, the strength of a beast that has the courage to enter the center of the territory is unimaginable."

Looking at Lu Lihong's lingering fear, Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously, "Senior Brother Lu, this should be your second time here, right? You seem to be quite knowledgeable."

"Yes, Junior Brother Ren is right. When I first came here, I was still a disciple of the Pill Tower Hall. It was here, oh, a little further ahead, that I encountered a hunting cheetah. As you know, cheetahs are famous for their ferocity on the prairie. That day, I was unlucky because four cheetahs appeared at the same time and were surrounded by hundreds of outer disciples. Although they managed to kill two of them, the other two still managed to escape. Among them, more than ten outer disciples were seriously injured. One of them was injured by a cheetah not far from me. Thinking about his miserable state, I can't bear to look at it now."

Then he shook his head and said, "I feel that even if I encounter that cheetah now, I only have a sixty percent chance of killing it."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Senior Brother Lu's luck has always been very good. This is the second time you are participating in the 'Orchid Evening Refinement'. Think about it, there are so many disciples in the School of Fragrance, who can compare with Senior Brother Lu?

Moreover, think about it, Senior Brother Lu, you encountered it last time. This time, you will have fewer chances of encountering it. With your luck, you can't possibly encounter it twice. "

"Haha." Lu Lihong laughed. "I hope so."

He then rushed forward, not forgetting to remind them before he left, "All of you should come out and get some fresh air. This period of time can be considered peaceful. It won't be too late to hide in the carriage when you encounter any danger."

The caravan moved forward in the twilight. Sure enough, it was very stable. They didn't see any ferocious beasts, sheep, or elk. On this green grassland, only the winding caravan was the only scenery.

When the sky gradually darkened, the caravan arrived at a low-lying area. On the flat grassland, there was actually a huge circle made of many stones. The stones were also very large, like the outer walls of a castle.

The carriage entered the stone circle through a gap. The inside was not as exaggerated as she imagined. It was just empty and there were no buildings. Zhang Xiaohua did not need to ask others. This must be a resting place built by the disciples who entered the valley in the past for convenience.

After entering the stone circle, the caravan of the Pill-Expanding Hall gathered at the most central place, while the disciples of the Wuming Hall were scattered around the periphery, which was right next to the stone wall.

Zhang Xiaohua's carriage also followed the crowd to the center and stopped. Lu Chaoxian jumped off the carriage, stretched his body, and smiled at Zhang Xiaohua. "Junior Brother Ren, you can finally relax. I saw that you were asking all kinds of questions along the way. You didn't seem to have any pressure."

Zhang Xiaohua knew how they felt. She shook her head and said, "The ignorant are fearless. I didn't expect that I would come for the trial, so I didn't ask anything. So, I didn't feel nervous or pressured."

"That's great. You don't know how nervous I was along the way. When I saw that pig, I was afraid that it would escape the outer disciples' encirclement and come for me."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua patted her chest and said, "Senior Brother Lu, don't be afraid. Don't you have me?

Don't worry … "

Before Zhang Xiaohua finished her words, several people rushed over from behind and said, "Junior Brother Ren, there's still us. Don't forget us."

Zhang Xiaohua did not need to turn her head. She knew that it must be the eight people who followed her.

When these people came to the front, they did not talk nonsense. One of them climbed into Zhang Xiaohua's carriage and took out a bulging bag from inside. Then, he took out a pile of things from the bag. It turned out to be a tent for the night. Zhang Xiaohua saw this and wanted to help. That disciple quickly stopped her and said, "Junior Brother Ren, you don't have to interfere with this kind of rough work. Let us do it."

Zhang Xiaohua was a little embarrassed. In the past, wasn't he the one who did all the chores like setting up the tents?

Just as she was about to say something, Lu Chaoxian smiled and said, "Junior Brother Ren, you don't have to do it. Look at me, they didn't let me do it. You and I will just watch from the side. If there is any dangerous place in the future, you can lend a hand. Wouldn't it be much better than helping here?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and nodded. This was indeed reasonable. Although it was true that capable people should do more work, it was even more reasonable to make the best use of one's talent. Even if he was strong enough to set up these tents, compared to being able to kill the beasts and save their lives, they valued the latter more.

When he looked up again, the three arhats not far away were also sitting in a carriage. They naturally enjoyed the service of others, serving them tea, water, food, and drinks. Compared to them, he was more "close to the people".

Six of the eight disciples were setting up the tents. The other two were smart. When they saw Zhang Xiaohua looking at other places, they immediately woke up and quickly took out water and food from the carriage. They walked in front of Zhang Xiaohua and Lu Chaoxian attentively and handed the things over. They smiled and said, "Two leaders, we have fewer people and less food. Please don't mind. Eat a little first."

Zhang Xiaohua scratched his head. He had always been low-key, so he was a little unaccustomed to other people's attentiveness. He saw that Lu Chaoxian was also looking at him. It seemed that if he didn't take it, he wouldn't eat it either.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua didn't refuse. He took the leather bag and said with a smile, "I don't eat much, so I'll just drink a little water. You guys eat first. We still have a month here, so we should save as much as we can."

"Hehe, okay." Lu Chaoxian saw Zhang Xiaohua take the water bag and also took the food.

While they were talking, the tents were already set up. But when he saw the tent, Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. This … this tent seemed a little too big!

Pointing at the tent, Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously, "Senior Brother Lu, why is our tent so big?

It's too wasteful to sleep two people. "

At this time, the other six people also came over. One of them smiled and said, "Junior Brother Ren, please don't blame us. We have overstepped a little. Without your consent, we connected the tents of the ten of us together. We thought that since Junior Brother Ren's martial arts is superior, it would be best if he stayed with you. Only then can we sleep well. Do you have any objections?"

Looking at the tent that had been set up long ago, Zhang Xiaohua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only wave his hand, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I sleep like a log at night. You can ask Senior Brother Lu. It doesn't matter how many people there are."

"This …" Lu Chaoxian also rubbed his hands, "I don't turn over when I sleep, so I don't know."

Everyone wanted to faint. Wasn't the purpose of making a big bed to rely on the two heroes? Well, one was more dead than the other, so what was the use?

After resting for a while, the whole camp gradually became more lively. The disciples had been in fear all along the way, fearing that a ferocious beast would jump out from somewhere. Now that they were behind the stone wall, they felt somewhat safe and comforted. Unconsciously, they recovered their usual liveliness.

After sitting for a while, Zhang Xiaohua looked at the three arhats. He had only been at Tian Mu Peak for a short time, so among the three hundred people in the Pill Repository Hall, he seemed to have some friendship with the three arhats. However, just as Zhang Xiaohua was about to move, he saw that the eyes of the fourth arhat, Si Huinan, were flickering. He actually looked elsewhere, not daring to look at Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua frowned and stopped in his tracks. He muttered to himself, "Could it be that he has some misgivings?

Maybe he's afraid that I'll go to his place to recruit people? "

After observing carefully, he unconsciously understood. Although he was estranged from the three arhats, the three arhats should be very close to each other. At least, they acted very close on Tian Mu Peak. But now, they were not sitting together. They were sitting in different places, surrounded by all kinds of disciples. They did not move around with each other.

Thinking about what Lu Chaoxian said, that every disciple had the custom of showing some filial piety to their leader, Zhang Xiaohua instantly understood the reason. He thought to himself, "Ai, there's no need to be like this. It's just a little conflict of interest, and they're already so estranged.

In one's life, do they only pursue small benefits in front of them? "

Unconsciously, Zhang Xiaohua seemed to have understood something. He smiled and said to the disciples, "I'm going to meditate in the tent. Don't disturb me."

After he finished speaking, he did not wait for the others to answer. He quickly walked into the tent and found the furthest corner. He took out the praying mat and sat down. His five hearts faced the sky as he digested what he had just learned.

Not long after, Zhang Xiaohua released his divine sense, covering the surrounding space of about ten feet. At this time, his divine sense, combined with what he had just comprehended, actually combined with Zhang Xiaohua's alertness and agility. A strange and weak connection was established between his mind and divine sense. Therefore, although Zhang Xiaohua's divine sense could still only cover the original space, he could see and feel a lot more things. At least for now, Zhang Xiaohua released his divine sense to carefully savor the fear, sadness, joy and some helplessness in this space.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua's heart seemed to have resonated with the hearts of all the disciples in the Pill Tower Hall. He could savor their feelings through his divine sense, and Zhang Xiaohua's mind was also gradually sharpened and improved.

Perhaps this was what it meant to cultivate the heart first.
