Chapter 57: Encirclement and Suppression
Linyi County, unlike a small place like Gulin, as the number one big city in the Jianguo country, is much stronger in terms of prosperity and people's knowledge. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
The Ziyang Sword Sect is located in Linyi City, even if it is the legendary immortal who is in the sky, it is not unseen for the people of Linyi.
But when there are really immortal-like characters falling from the sky, I believe most people will be stupid.
And when Zhang Qing landed in front of a tea shop, both the boss and the guests had this stupid feeling.
The 'immortal' who fell was naturally Zhang Qing, who had just learned to fly, although with the help of the power of the clouds, the feeling of driving the clouds was really good.
Along the way, he experimented with various flying techniques while hurrying. It took Zhang Qing less than a day to reach Linyi County, which shows the speed of flying.
However, although he flew very fast, as soon as he entered the top of the county town, Zhang Qing found an embarrassing problem.
Although I have heard that the Ziyang Sword Sect is in the Linyi County City, just a quick glance in the sky, I can also see that the Linyi County City covers a large area, and it may not be so easy to find out the Ziyang Sword Sect.
In Zhang Qing's heart, although the Ziyang Sword Sect is a monk sect, although it is built in the county town against common sense, it is estimated that it is also very low-key, after all, it is a monk!
So he found a teahouse and fell into the clouds, and asked the stunned man, "Everyone, I don't know how the Ziyang Sword Sect goes?"
Considering the possible low-key nature of the Ziyang Sword Sect, Zhang Qing didn't expect to simply ask for the address. Anyway, with such a big county, there will definitely be people who know about it, no matter how low-key you are.
"Immortal...... Immortals," Hearing the immortal's question, the boss stammered and replied, "You turn around from this street, and then ...... No, you can fly straight into the center of the city and you can see it. β
This boss was going to point out Zhang Qing's specific path, but thinking of the scene of Zhang Qing flying down, he quickly changed his words.
"Thank you!" Seeing the other party's nervous appearance, Zhang Qing didn't want to stay longer, so he thanked him and left directly.
Xingyun's speed was extremely fast, and in just a few blinks of an eye, Zhang Qing came to the middle of Linyi City.
Then he was stunned when he looked at the majestic and luxurious building below, and his faint cheeks couldn't help twitching: "I thought I was lucky, I just grabbed someone and asked about the location of the Ziyang Sword Sect, but I didn't expect the Ziyang Sword Sect to be like this." β
If you want to say why Zhang Qing was so surprised, it can only be said that the Ziyang Sword Sect completely subverted his illusions about the cultivation sect.
If you want to talk about the cultivation sect, no matter how gorgeous the mountain gate is, the buildings are dazzling, or the low-key and simple Zhang Qing will not be surprised.
But even if you set up a faction in the center of the city, why do you still build it so eye-catching? Aren't all cultivators far away from the mundane and transcendent?
Even if there is some unavoidable hardship to establish a sect here, shouldn't it keep a mysterious and low-key background?
Looking at it from the sky, I saw that the palace-like houses were continuous, and the white archway-like things at the door were engraved with several bright and bright characters of the Ziyang Sword Sect.
The magnificence is not enough to describe the luxury of this place, as if this is not a place of cultivation, but the residence of an emperor on earth.
Even compared to it, the county guard not far away is much shabby, and it is simply a slum in comparison.
But in any case, the words of the Ziyang Sword Sect were clearly written on it, and Zhang Qing still chose to press the cloud head and landed at the door.
As the number one faction in Linyi, the strength of the Ziyang Sword Sect is not too bad for the time being, at least this faΓ§ade will not be too bad.
Just by looking at the style of the building, you can know their style.
So at the door, two rows of more than a dozen swordsmen guarded the door like a welcome.
Zhang Qing just glanced at it, and found that these swordsmen who were similar to the guards were all ordinary people who had practiced qigong techniques, but basically had no hope of stepping into the door of qi training, and even Hao Yun's previous cultivation was inferior.
Thinking of the thousands of outer disciples they said every year, Zhang Qing estimated that these were all there was to it.
Seeing Zhang Qing descending from the sky, these guys who were just outer disciples quickly greeted one person, and after saluting respectfully, he said: "Senior, I don't know the name of my predecessor, what is the matter with my Purple Yang Sword Sect?"
The Ziyang Sword Sect is only a dozen or so real cultivators, and even fewer are at the fourth level of Qi cultivation, so how can the cultivation of the guests who come and go be imagined, so the importance that a monk like Zhang Qing who comes from the clouds can be imagined.
Looking at the hot eyes of the person in front of him, Zhang Qing's heart was naturally dark, and his voice slowed down a little: "I'm looking for Qian Guotong, is he there?"
"Yes, Uncle Qian Guotong just came back from outside not long ago, and he must be here at this time. The man replied immediately.
"Then take me over," Zhang Qing directly asked, and then added: "I came to him for some things, so I won't bother with your reception." β
"Yes, yes," although there were some disagreements, the other party was not unaware of the flexibility, and immediately agreed.
Of course, it is inevitable that someone will quickly report the news of Zhang Qing's arrival, and this Zhang Qing will not care.
Walking on the road, Zhang Qing's thoughts flew, this time he didn't hide the meaning of Xingji, anyway, he believed in the allure of the things in his hands, and it was easy for people to look down on them if they were sneaky.
Of course, the increase in strength was still the main reason, and if he didn't believe that it was impossible to keep himself with the Purple Yang Sword Sect, he wouldn't dare to be so careless.
Soon, following this outer disciple around, Zhang Qing came to a separate courtyard.
Although it is not as grand as other halls, it also occupies a large area, and it is extremely exquisite everywhere.
The disciple who led the way walked forward quickly at this time, knocked lightly on the closed courtyard door a few times, and said inside: "Open the door quickly, a senior has come to visit Uncle Qian." β
Soon there was a noise inside, and then I saw that the door was opened a little crack, and a voice came out: "What senior? β
Zhang Qing understood as soon as he heard it, and it was estimated that Qian Guotong was cultivating the "Demon Refining Dafa" at this time. I have a system that doesn't look down on this incomplete spell, but for the situation where the inheritance of the disciples of the Ziyang Sword Sect is scarce, it is one thing.
Since Qian Guotong is cultivating, it is no wonder that the courtyard door will be closed. Zhang Qing knew that he might really be blocked out of the door today if he didn't get out of the horse, so without waiting for the disciple who led the way to distinguish between him and the other party, he said directly: "You just go and tell your master that I, Qingyunzi, have come to visit." β
"Qingyunzi?" the servant who guarded the door muttered a little puzzled, and then suddenly remembered, isn't this the senior who has been talking about every day since the master came back!
So regardless of whether it was true or not, he hurriedly opened the door and saluted respectfully: "It turned out to be Qingyunzi's senior, my master has talked about you many times, please inside, I will go to report to the master." β
In the stunned eyes of the leading disciples, the servant who had just spoken in a bad tone instantly changed his smiling face, and respectfully invited this Qingyunzi senior in.
But in an instant, he figured it out, looking at the demeanor of Qingyunzi's predecessors who drove the clouds before, I'm afraid he should receive such courtesy wherever he goes!
Not long after Zhang Qing sat down, he heard a sound of eager footsteps, and then saw Qian Guotong hurriedly breaking in.
"Senior Qingyunzi, why are you here?" Qian Guotong asked in surprise as soon as he came in.
Seeing his surprised appearance, Zhang Qing smiled and quipped, "What? Can't I come? Or are you not welcome me?"
Although he knew that Zhang Qing was joking, Qian Guotong was still a little nervous, and quickly explained: "How could it be? It is an honor for the juniors to come, but I am just a little surprised." β
Seeing his eager look, Zhang Qing stopped joking, and asked: "Okay, don't joke with you, I have some things to do on this trip, don't you happen to be here?" I'll take a look, and by the way, ask a little about the situation." β
"Senior, if you ask, as long as I know, I will tell you. Qian Guotong was still very grateful to Zhang Qing, who generously threw the "Demon Refining Dafa" to himself, so when he heard that he had something to ask him, he immediately patted his chest and responded.
Zhang Qing was very satisfied with Qian Guotong's attitude, and secretly wondered if he would give him some benefits in the future, Zhang Qing asked directly: "Do you know any monks who are above the fourth level of Qi cultivation near Linyi City, I need to find someone to help with something." β
As soon as he heard Zhang Qing's words, Qian Guotong's head was stunned, he knew that the monk of the fourth level of Qi cultivation was known, but such a character was so easy to invite.
So he said cautiously: "Senior, although this junior understands, but there is no way to invite people, you must know that such an existence is estimated to be only seven or eight people in Linyi, where is there such a good invitation." β
Zhang Qing was amused when he heard it, he wasn't ready to let Qian Guotong really invite someone, in fact, this was just an excuse.
"Don't think about it, how could I let you go and hire someone, I will definitely go out by myself when the time comes. β
After listening to Zhang Qing's words, Qian Guotong knew that he had thought about it, and immediately smiled awkwardly, and then said in a relaxed tone: "It's the juniors who think too much, and the seniors will definitely succeed." If you want to say that I am a great monk in Linyi, there are five people in my Purple Yang Sword Sect, and there are three others I know, as for more, I don't know. β
Immediately, Qian Guotong introduced what he knew to Zhang Qing in detail, including his master Li Li.
Zhang Qing quietly inquired again, and found that there were several suitable targets among these monks, but he didn't know how many he could win over in the end.
Of course, Zhang Qing was also prepared, and it was impossible to go over and tell people about the situation, otherwise he would face the encirclement and suppression of all the monks in Linyi at that time.
