Chapter 45: Nirvana Reborn?
Zhang Daotian turned to look at Zhang Ling and said, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, thanks to Big Brother Bai's timely action, otherwise I would have been blacked out by that old guy. Zhang Ling shook his head, still palpitating.
"It was someone who almost caught your black hand. Bai Nan secretly wondered in his heart.
"Thank you Bai Gongzi for your help. Zhang Daotian turned around and said gratefully.
Bai Nan hurriedly waved his hand, "Zhang Ling is my friend, and he is my life-saving benefactor, this is what I should do." β
Zhang Ling hugged Bai Nan's arm with both hands and said excitedly: "Brother Bai, you are also my friend, no, you are my brother." β
When Bai Nan heard this, he laughed, this Zhang Ling's character is really interesting.
Everyone present at the Zhang family looked at Bai Nan with admiration at this time, many of them came back from the same boat with Bai Nan yesterday, and they still remembered that Bai Nan was still lying on a stretcher at that time, unable to move, but they didn't expect to be able to retreat from the Han family's deacon today.
How strong the deacon of the Han family is, they all know it, in the Han family, second only to the Han family, it is the Han family and the second master on the Ash Island, otherwise they would not be arrogant enough to beat his son directly in front of Zhang Daotian.
"Brother Bai, I didn't expect you to be so strong!" Zhang Ling said excitedly.
"It's okay, it's okay. Bai Nan said with a smile, and when he said this, his eyes were looking at Zhang Daotian.
He has just used his body martial arts, and others may not be able to see it, but that Deacon Han and Zhang Daotian in front of him must be able to recognize it, and his identity and origin will definitely attract their attention.
......
Zhang's Mansion.
The group was in a happy mood when they went, but when they came back, their faces were a little gloomy, especially Zhang Muge, whose face had been pale since the beginning, and he had completely lost his previous pungent appearance.
"Bai Gongzi, please come to the living room with me to talk. Zhang Daotian said.
Bai Nan nodded and followed. Seeing this, Zhang Ling and Zhang Muge also wanted to follow, but they were stopped.
In the living room, Zhang Daotian sat in the first seat and motioned for Bai Nan to sit down.
Bai Nan was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know how to explain to the other party if Zhang Daotian asked about his origin later.
The Zhang family and Qingyunmen are still on both sides of the conflict of interest, and if their identities are exposed, I don't know if they will cause trouble.
"Bai Gongzi, don't be nervous, I won't inquire about your origins. Zhang Daotian said with a smile.
When Bai Nan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and found a place to sit down.
Zhang Daotian said: "Outside the martial arts arena today, I didn't immediately reject the Han family's proposal, does Bai Gongzi think that I sell my daughter for glory?"
Bai Nan looked at the other party, he didn't know what to say, Zhang Daotian's realization yesterday was indeed a good father who loved his children, but that kind of thing did happen today, and he still remembered Zhang Muge's pale expression at that time.
"Don't dare. Bai Nan arched his hand.
Zhang Daotian laughed, "Don't dare, I really have this idea." β
Bai Nan was silent, which was a tacit acquiescence.
"The predicament that my Zhang family is facing, Ling Erke told you?" Zhang Daotian asked.
There is nothing to hide about this, Bai Nan nodded and said, "Said some." β
"For the development of the spirit mine, the Han family has to separate the head and tail, but who can say clearly which of the two suitable places found now is the head and which is the tail. Zhang Daotian said.
Bai Nan asked, "Listening to you guys, is one of these two places in the place where the Divine Tree grows, and the other in a separate courtyard of the Han family?"
Zhang Daotian nodded, "The Han Family's Courtyard is the entrance to mining, and the site is open, which is very suitable." β
"The Han family refuses, is that the courtyard very important to the Han family?" asked Bai Nan.
"Important? What can be important. Zhang Daotian sneered: "The courtyard was originally built in a desolate place, just a place for them to escape the heat when it is hot, but now, the trade between Ash Island and the mainland of Kyushu is frequent, and most of the ice cubes transported from Jizhou are used for summer coolness, and no one goes to that place now, and it is basically deserted." β
"Then why are they reluctant to let it out?" Bai Nan was a little curious when he heard this, if the Han family was able to give up this courtyard, in the eyes of Qingyunmen, it would also make a contribution, and with the help of the Great Elders, the benefits would definitely be indispensable.
"It's not that they are unwilling, but they want to take the opportunity to make our Zhang family and Xia family submit. Zhang Daotian sighed and said: "This matter of the spirit mine just gave the Han family an excuse, they just want to take the opportunity to completely suppress our two families." β
"Ling Er is stubborn, he doesn't like to cultivate, he doesn't like to manage family affairs, the only one who can be in charge in the future is Pastoral, I didn't understand why they had to hold on to the matter of the Divine Tree before, but now it seems that today's proposal is the ultimate goal. His Han family now wants to force me to marry my daughter to them, doesn't he just want to completely control our Zhang family?" Zhang Daotian looked at him and said angrily.
Bai Nan also understood at this time, and then he thought of something again, and asked, "Then why did the Xia family agree?"
Zhang Daotian smiled bitterly and said: "Because the Xia family has no future, their generation of family heads is generally talented, and now they are just entering the second level of cultivation, and their next generation is even more unbearable, in order to give birth to a gifted offspring, the head of the Xia family married five wives in a row and gave birth to more than a dozen children, but none of them can take a shot, and they can keep the thighs of the Han family, which is what they can't hope for." β
When Bai Nan heard this, he almost laughed, the genes of this Xia family head looked really strong.
After thinking about it, Bai Nan said: "I don't know if I should talk about something?"
Zhang Daotian said: "Bai Gongzi has any ideas, but it doesn't hurt to say it." β
"I heard that the sacred tree is about to wither, Zhang family master, do you see if it's ......?"
"No way. Zhang Daotian didn't wait for Bai Nan to finish speaking, and then interrupted sharply.
Bai Nan was a little speechless, he didn't expect that this Zhang Daotian was also a stubborn person, but he didn't think it was very inappropriate to sacrifice his daughter for a belief that was about to disappear.
Seeing Bai Nan's expression, Zhang Daotian said: "Bai Gongzi, you misunderstood, this tree is not going to die. β
"Isn't it going to die?" Bai Nan was stunned, he didn't expect that there was something strange in this, could it be that Zhang Ling deceived him, shouldn't it.
"According to the records of my family's ancestral home, the sacred tree is supposed to be undergoing a process of nirvana rebirth. A hint of excitement flashed in Zhang Daotian's eyes.
"Nirvana reborn?" Bai Nan couldn't believe his ears, this white oak tree was indeed a little magical, but if it was said that it could be reborn like the legendary phoenix, Bai Nan would not believe it.
"Has this Divine Tree experienced Nirvana rebirth before?" asked Bai Nan.
Zhang Daotian shook his head regretfully and said, "No, I haven't had the honor to see it with my own eyes." β
At this time, Bai Nan looked at Zhang Daotian with some sympathy in his eyes, and he felt that Zhang Daotian should have been confused.
