Chapter 256: A Ray of Hope
This time, it was Xu Shilin's turn to be surprised. When he was looking for a job before, others looked down on him as a useless person and ignored him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ye gave him a job and asked him to join the Ascension Platform Army!
Xu Shilin was stunned, but he quickly came to his senses: "Oh, so you are teasing me, are you satisfied? Can I leave now?"
Xu Shilin had no hands and feet, and he couldn't even do ordinary work, so how could he join the army? So he thought Zhang Ye was just teasing him like others.
Zhang Ye also understood what Xu Shilin was thinking, and he said: "I can help you solve the problem of your hands and feet."
Xu Shilin's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he wanted to say something, but Zhang Ye interrupted him: "As for the cost of helping you restore your hands and feet, you can pay it back with your salary after joining the army."
Zhang Ye knew that Xu Shilin was unwilling to accept charity from others, so he said so.
Xu Shilin looked at Zhang Ye for a long time. Whether it was true or not, Zhang Ye gave him respect. Xu Shilin said, "Thank you." Then he continued to crawl on his way. Perhaps, in his heart, he thought that it was impossible to restore his hands and feet.
Because Xu Shilin has seen many famous doctors and alchemists over the years and thought of countless ways, but his lifeline was cut off and there was no possibility of rebirth.
Zhang Ye really couldn't make Xu Shilin's broken limbs regenerate, but he could create a set of artificial limbs. Except that they were not flesh and blood, they were definitely better than real hands and feet. Even, they would greatly improve Xu Shilin's combat effectiveness.
But Zhang Ye didn't want to say more, just looked at Xu Shilin's back and asked: "By the way, why did that monk cut off your limbs?"
Xu Shilin didn't stop crawling, nor did he look back, but heard a voice: "At that time, I was hunting in the mountains and forests and killed a wild boar. I happened to be seen by a monk from the Vajra Temple, so I killed the monk, which led to the revenge of the Vajra Temple."
Zhang Ye frowned. Xu Shilin didn't look like a person who killed indiscriminately, so he asked: "Why did you kill that monk?"
Xu Shilin sighed: "Because the monk said, 'Whatever you kill in this life, you will become in the next life.' I thought in my heart that it's better to become a monk in the next life than a wild boar, right?"
I don't know if this is the truth or a joke, but Zhang Ye laughed heartily: "My life is determined by me, not by God, good kill!"
Everything the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance did was to help the Buddhists establish the six reincarnations in the underworld and realize the reincarnation retribution of the causes in the previous life and the results in the next life.
But Zhang Ye was really confused. Could it be that the causes in this life and the results in this life are not okay? You have to sacrifice someone's next life. Is this the so-called compassion of a monk? It's so annoying!
Besides, if the six reincarnations are really built, wouldn't all the heavens and the worlds, all living beings, be in the hands of Buddhism? Will Buddhism really control the cause and effect of reincarnation without favoritism? You are kidding!
Xu Shilin's "I am in my own hands, not in the hands of God" made Zhang Ye vent his depression.
Zhang Ye turned and left: "Tomorrow, here and now, I will take your hands and feet."
This sounded a bit weird, but Xu Shilin was shocked. Could it really be possible to restore his hands and feet? However, Xu Shilin still didn't look back, because he was afraid that if he looked back, he would wake up from this dream.
Zhang Ye returned to the blacksmith shop. After work, he was free anyway, so he immediately made a set of immortal limbs according to Xu Shilin's physique. Not only can he move freely like normal hands and feet, but he can also use prosthetic limbs to perform monk magic, which is extremely powerful.
As for the expenses, Zhang Ye had robbed the warehouse of the Ten Thousand Immortals League a few days ago and got a lot of money. This expenditure was just a drop in the bucket. Besides, Xu Shilin would pay it back slowly after joining the army. Even if he didn't pay it back, it didn't matter. He would repay Zhang Ye by killing a few more monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals League.
The next evening, Zhang Ye came to the alley, but did not see Xu Shilin.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Ye was about to leave, but saw Xu Shilin just crawling over. When he saw Zhang Ye, the first thing he said was: "Just passing by."
Xu Shilin was a proud man, otherwise why would he rather starve to death than eat other people's charity? Zhang Ye tacitly understood and did not expose him, and took out the immortal artifact prosthesis.
Although Xu Shilin had lost his hands and feet and could not perform magic, his eyesight as a spiritual cultivator still existed. The moment he saw the immortal artifact prosthesis, he was suddenly stunned, as if he was admiring a treasure, with eager eyes.
But Xu Shilin quickly came back to his senses, his voice trembling: "Who are you?"
Xu Shilin was not fascinated by the fairy weapon, but asked who Zhang Ye was, which made Zhang Ye look up to him again. But he did not answer, and threw out the fairy weapon prosthesis, and the metal hands and feet automatically flew to Xu Shilin for implantation. This process was a bit painful, but even though Xu Shilin was sweating profusely, he still bit his crown without humming.
After a while, the prosthesis was installed, and Xu Shilin seemed to feel something, and slowly stood up with the help of the prosthesis.
Xu Shilin moved his hands and feet. Although they were not grown by himself, they were even better than those grown by himself. Xu Shilin looked at Zhang Ye with gratitude in his eyes. He opened his mouth again to ask Zhang Ye's name, but suddenly stopped this stupid behavior. Because in the entire cultivation world, there is only one person who can have this method-Master Zhang Ye!
Although Zhang Ye changed his appearance, Xu Shilin also guessed Zhang Ye's identity.
Zhang Ye asked, "How do you feel?"
Xu Shilin smiled and said, "The air up there is good."
Xu Shilin's first impression was that the air was good, which was unexpected. However, when he thought about how he had been crawling on the ground for many years and suddenly stood up, this sounded a bit sad.
Zhang Ye said, "You can use your prosthetic limbs to perform magic, try it."
Xu Shilin nodded, looking somewhat expectant, and immediately used his magic power.
With a whoosh, Xu Shilin crashed through several walls, and then he flew up into the sky again. After flying randomly in the air for a long time, he barely mastered the essentials and gradually stabilized.
When Xu Shilin landed in front of Zhang Ye again, he had a confident smile on his face that only a powerful person in the state of transformation had.
"How should I repay you?" Xu Shilin was unwilling to accept favors from others, but this kind of person is also the kind of person who will repay a favor.
Zhang Ye said: "Go to join the army."
This was what Zhang Ye had asked before, and Xu Shilin had no objection, but he felt that he was going to seek revenge on the Vajra Temple, so joining the Feishengtai camp was not to repay Zhang Ye.
"How can I repay you personally?" Xu Shilin asked again.
Zhang Ye smiled and said: "What? You are not going to pay the forging fee?"
Xu Shilin was stunned for a moment, and also smiled: "Then count it as interest, in installments."
In this way, an ordinary encounter, Zhang Ye changed an ordinary person.
Later, there was no intersection. It was just that every once in a while, someone would stuff money into Zhang Ye's blacksmith shop, and Zhang Ye didn't ask who stuffed the money. Since there was money, and it was money that fell in his house, it must be his, there was no doubt about it!
Zhang Ye also occasionally heard people mention that there was a tough guy with iron hands and feet in the Feishengtai camp. He was particularly desperate when killing the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, but privately, he was very chivalrous. Therefore, people combined his characteristics of iron and chivalry and gave him an elegant nickname -
Iron is so powerful.
…
A few days later, Han Linger and Murong Hongzhuang returned and found Zhang Ye, looking a little solemn.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Ye closed the door of the blacksmith shop, came to the backyard, and looked at the two.
Murong Hongzhuang said: "According to the report from the spies inside the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the gods have re-issued a soul-suppressing pillar, and the reincarnation formation will soon resume operation."
Zhang Ye frowned: "Do you have information about the specific location of the soul-suppressing pillar?"
Murong Hongzhuang shook her head: "No."
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has learned a lesson and will never let the soul-suppressing pillar be exposed again.
At this time, Han Linger said: "In the past few days, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has been active. Although both sides have won and lost, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has gradually eroded the scope of the East and South regions and formed an encirclement of the North Region."
"I guess that after they rebuild the reincarnation formation, they will launch a full-scale attack!"
Zhang Ye also knew that taking the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance did not mean that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would be destroyed. Sooner or later, they would fight back and a decisive battle was inevitable.
Today, the Ascension Platform camp has many talented people, and the Tiangong Clan and Zhang Ye supply top magic weapons. Considering the overall strength, it will not necessarily lose to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, but the key is that after the reincarnation formation is restored, no matter which side's cultivators are injured or killed, they are all helping the Ascension Plan of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
No wonder Han Linger and Murong Hongzhuang came to Zhang Ye to discuss it. It is indeed a headache.
Zhang Ye thought for a moment and said helplessly: "If we have the strength of another domain, maybe we can stop all this from happening."
Indeed, if the Ascension Platform camp has the power of one more domain, large-scale casualties can be avoided, because with a stronger force, the enemy can be directly deterred or controlled.
Murong Hongzhuang said sadly: "Zhang Ye, it's not that I have selfish intentions, but the demon world really can't send anyone out."
Han Ling'er also shook her head: "Except for the people left behind, all the demons have joined the war. Even if they are all transferred, they are far less than the strength of a domain."
Zhang Ye knew that the demon world and the demon world really couldn't send anyone out. He held their hands and said: "I'm not blaming you. I know you have tried your best, but I just feel it's a pity. If it doesn't work, let's withdraw."
Withdrawing from the cultivation world to avoid a large-scale conflict with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is just a stopgap measure, because in this way, all the efforts of the Ascension Platform camp will return to the starting point!
This feeling is very aggrieved, just like you duel with your rival, and you finally win, but the girl feels sorry for your rival and runs away with him; if you lose, the girl admires your rival's bravery and runs away with him again.
The prerequisite for victory is unfair. How can the Ascension Platform camp win?
Just when they were at a loss, Zhang Ye's dragon bone knife flew out: "Zhang Ye, maybe there is another domain's power."
The five major domains in the southeast, northwest, and northeast of the cultivation world, the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the demon world... are all involved. Can we rely on mortals? But no matter how many mortals there are, they can't match the power of a domain.
Zhang Ye said: "I'm not good at math, what else is missing?"
Ahua: "Endless Sea, the four major dragon clans!"
