Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 49: Back to where the story began
Tian Meng's star veins were completely destroyed because he had a star explosion in Fengmen Village.
The same thing, or even more serious, happened to Tang Zheng. His star veins were even directly shattered, and it took another month to stabilize after being reshaped.
So……
Tang Zheng immediately checked his star veins, looking...looking...looking...
"Ha..." When he could not find the "Seal of Pardon" that the Purple Star Lord in the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower had cast on him on his own star vein, he really felt that it was a blessing in disguise.
In the Star-Seeking Tower, Qin Xi, the first Lord of Ziwei Star, saved his life, but a "pardon seal" was also left on Tang Zheng's body, which made it impossible for Tang Zheng to become an enemy of the Lord of Ziwei Star for the rest of his life.
Although Tang Zheng is a peaceful, friendly and reasonable young man, it must not be a pleasant feeling to have this "seal of pardon" on his back.
And now, because he forcibly broke through the five stars, the powerful impact force even dispersed the origin of the star master, not to mention the "Seal of Pardon" on the star vein.
"Hmm...how about going and killing a few Purple Star followers for fun?" Tang Zheng thought in a friendly manner.
Seeing the strange smile on Tang Zheng's face, Tang Xiaotang stretched out her claws and messed up his hair: "What are you laughing at? So happy?"
Tang Zheng immediately came back to his senses: "Nothing, let's continue!"
After being the mountain patrol king for a whole day, it was already dinner time when he returned.
Because there are already several independent regiments stationed in Tangjiabao, the amount of dinner prepared in Tangjiabao is much more than before.
"Brother Zheng Qian is back." Just as Tang Zheng was looking at the battle flags of various independent regiments below the main fort, a child's joyful voice was heard not far away.
Tang Zheng looked as he was told and saw a man with four stars arrogantly hung on his back walking in from the gate, bringing his brothers and his spoils.
Isn’t Zheng Qian the bandit leader who gets slapped in the face whenever he analyses something?
Tang Zheng sent him to earn Shadow King Orders for him...
Military life is really a training exercise. After a few months of separation, Tang Zheng almost couldn't recognize him.
His clothes were tattered and looked like they hadn't been washed for at least a month, but his return was still welcomed like a hero.
"I heard that Brother Zheng Qian won a great victory!"
"What Brother Zheng Qian sent back earlier should be the dried meat of Fengweiyan. It's delicious."
"That's right. There's not even one edible monster among the thousand monsters. The Phoenix-tailed Goose is one of the few monsters that can be eaten. You guys are in for a treat."
"That's a three-star one! It's delicious, but we are not a demon race, otherwise our strength can be improved."
It seemed that this was not Zheng Qian's first time returning to Tangjiabao. Compared with Tang Zheng, he was more familiar with the children in Tangjiabao.
After he settled down, he came to see Tang Zheng immediately.
When Zheng Qian left Tangjiabao, he had just reached the level of three stars in strength. Tang Zheng had not expected that he could find a chance to break through in such a difficult situation as fighting against the demon clan.
Generally speaking, it is very dangerous to break through in the military, because the battle situation changes rapidly, there is no stable environment, and the physical condition cannot be adjusted well, so the possibility of failure in guiding the star is higher.
But Zheng Qian succeeded, and his strength also brought great convenience to the expansion of the independent regiment.
Now, this independent regiment under the name of Tangjiabao has a size of several thousand people.
Zheng Qian boasted to Tang Zheng about his heroic deeds for half an hour, and then put down a bag.
"The Shadow King's Order." Zheng Qian pushed it to Tang Zheng and said, "It may not be enough to repay the debt to Yingshan, but there is still time. I will..."
"Okay, let's take a break." Tang Zheng used to do business with Ghost Grandpa in such a strict manner that he had no idea who Azhi was.
Now that he knows that Azhi is the next Shadow King of Yingshan, Fang Youxie, what else can he say to him?
The remaining Shadow King Orders should all be used to pay for Ah Zhi's English teaching!
The New Year in Tangjiabao is very lively, but it also passes very quickly.
Meng Fenghua made a new set of clothes for Tang Zheng and Xiao Lingdang respectively, which made Xiao Lingdang unhappy. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that she looked like Tang Zheng's daughter and refused to wear it. Tang Zheng didn't care. After putting them on, he felt that they fit him well. When he left Tangjiabao, he decided to wear this outfit when he went out.
"Master, are you sure you want to go abroad in such festive clothes?" When Xiao Lingling said goodbye to him, her eyes were still turning around cunningly.
"What do you want to say?" Tang Zheng said with a smile.
"Nothing, don't forget to bring me some Phoenix Goose jerky!" Xiao Lingdang licked her lips and decided not to complain about Tang Zheng's dressing style anymore. Eating was more important.
"Okay." Tang Zheng nodded and agreed.
…
Luo Fei rode back and forth at full speed and just caught up with Tang Zheng and his companions.
Because they bumped into them right at the gate of Wulong Town, Luo Fei was furious: "Didn't we agree to wait for me to bring back your Han Jiangxue and Shan Bi before setting off?"
"I'm waiting for you." Tang Zheng looked innocent.
"You were already at the city gate. If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have already left."
"I'm waiting for you at the city gate." Tang Zheng still looked innocent.
"Forget it, forget it. Brother is a magnanimous person and I won't bother with you. Let's go." Luo Fei handed two daggers to Tang Zheng and mounted his horse.
Tang Zheng did not bring too many people with him when he went outside the border this time. Hua Yingxiu was the main force in capturing the North Sea Demon Butterfly, so she naturally had to go. Jiang Wuyan and Tang Xiaotang were both going outside the border for the first time, and Luo Fei was just there to make up the numbers, so Tang Zheng brought Zheng Qian with him.
A group of six people, with only one carriage and ten horses, headed out of the border.
"Boss, your dagger..." Zheng Qian looked at Han Jiangxue's light, and his expression looked like he wanted to lick it.
"Like?" Tang Zheng was looking at Zheng Qian's greedy look.
"No, no, no, I'm just admiring it, just admiring it..." Zheng Qian looked at the Hanjiangxue, "It looks like the teeth of a North Sea monster."
"The teeth of a North Sea monster?"
"Well, you don't know , these monsters look really weird. The teeth of that North Sea monster are actually growing outside. They overturned several of our warships..."
Along the way, Zheng Qian told them about the strange species outside Xinjiang.
Tang Zheng could tell that his original intention was to scare Tang Xiaotang and Hua Yingxiu, just like a boy taking a girl to see a horror movie. Unfortunately, the two girls not only listened very seriously, but also asked some questions ...
For example, why don't the polar bears you mentioned eat black and white geese?
Zheng Qian knelt down one by one, unable to answer each question.
They were not moving fast. After walking for about two hours, they could see a barren plain outside the border when they stood on the mountain...
Tang Zheng always felt that this place looked familiar.
Sure enough, when I climbed up the tree and looked, I saw the deserted Fengmen Village not far away.
It is already afternoon, almost the same time as when Tang Zheng traveled to Xingyao Continent.
"Back again?" Tang Zheng looked at Fengmen Village not far away and laughed, "Let's go, we'll rest there for a night and cross the border directly tomorrow morning."
…
They don't need to rest, but mainly the horses need to rest.
This is because the Snow Region War Horse is a monster, and there is no telling what kind of changes might occur if it is taken outside the border. It is safer to take the horses raised in Tang Family Fort directly with them.
But ordinary horses are naturally not as capable as the Snow Region war horses, which can run thousands of miles without stopping.
The lowest among Tang Zheng and his group was a three-star peak warrior. After walking for an entire afternoon, they still had some strength, but the horses were no longer able to move. Without a rest, they would not be able to continue tomorrow.
Fengmen Village has been cleared out.
After the destruction of Yinlan Villa, Tangjiabao did not take over the flower fields in this place again, so they remain the same as when they were burned by Tang Zheng.
After Tang Zheng entered the village, he saw several pillars.
On the pillar, there was a pattern of fourteen stars in a circle. Tang Zheng recalled that he had seen the same pattern on Fang Junji's clothes.
However, Fang Junji had told him before that he had been to Fengmen Village.
Therefore, it is not surprising that things related to Fang Junji appear here.
"It's true that there are not even a single snake, insect or ant here." Tang Xiaotang was the only person who had heard Fang Junji and Tang Zheng talk about Fengmen Village. It was also Fang Junji who made Tang Zheng remember that apart from the decadence and debauchery and Yinlan Villa, Fengmen Village itself was also weird.
Zheng Qian was silent for a long time and said, "I have walked this road more than ten times, why have I never seen this village..."
Tang Zheng knocked his head: "Because you are a lizard, your visual range is only 5 degrees!"
Zheng Qian stared at Tang Zheng blankly: "Is that so?"
"That's it."
"I see. That makes sense. But what is a lizard?"
"..." Tang Xiaotang stroked her forehead speechlessly.
There were no people from Yinlan Villa coming to Fengmen Village to show off their presence now, so Tang Zheng naturally didn't hesitate. He just cleaned up a room and settled them down.
When Fang Junji mentioned Fengmen Village before, he said that he came to this place when he was looking for the remains of Emperor Zi Jin.
He was brought in from outside the border.
Fengmen Village was the first village he entered after entering Xinjiang from outside.
"Are there really relics of the Purple Gold Emperor here?" Tang Zheng remembered Fang Junji saying at the time that he felt there should be relics here, but he didn't find them.
"Master, what are we going to eat tonight?" Tang Xiaotang was rummaging in the carriage.
"Oh..." Tang Zheng came back to his senses, "Wait a minute, I'll go outside the village to hunt some fresh game and eat it with the dry food."
"Now?" Tang Xiaotang looked at the sky.
Tang Zheng shouted "whoosh" and the stars rose up.
Looking at the five dazzling stars behind Tang Zheng, Tang Xiaotang waved his hand feebly, without mentioning whether it was dangerous or not. He only said, "Master, please move faster. We are all crying for food."
"I'll be quick. I'll compensate you if you get hungry." Tang Zheng smiled and turned to go towards the entrance of Fengmen Village.
