60. Choice
Hearing Zhang Hanguang's words, Zhang Long didn't understand it for a while, and couldn't help but be stunned.
She just had no choice but to find Zhang Hanguang, but now Zhang Hanguang said that she would do it herself, isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
"The old man knows that you have a few very capable friends, and combined with these young people, you can always come up with some bold ideas." Looking at Zhang Longqian's somewhat confused expression, Zhang Hanguang paused, and said: "Of course, the old man is not abandoned, but the five great families still know the details of each other relatively clearly. If it weren't for that, how could the old man have lived peacefully with them until now just by virtue of the festival with Cangding? ”
Hearing that Zhang Hanguang didn't mean to joke, Zhang Longqian gradually woke up, and thoughtfully: "What do you mean ......?"
"If you are not noticed by the Cang family, the possibility of success is still relatively large." Squinting slightly, Zhang Hanguang seemed to smile happily, "You just have to let it go, even if he turns the world upside down, the old man will take care of it for you in the back." ”
This sentence was said by the head of the first family in the Dao Law Realm, and the weight was really a little heavy, Zhang Long couldn't help but get up and look at Zhang Hanguang, a little difficult to suppress the accelerated heartbeat, she frowned slightly and said, "Old man, you ......"
But, after all, this is just a verbal promise, perhaps, Zhang Hanguang just used her as a pawn and used her to deal with the Cang family, once something happened, he could immediately clear up the relationship and protect his family.
I saw a lot of use in Habayashi. Zhang Longqian almost had an occupational disease passing through this thought.
As if seeing through her thoughts, Zhang Hanguang glanced at Ji Haiyun beside him and said with a smile: "The old man will let Haiyun follow you." In this way, no matter how the situation develops, the Zhang family will not be able to escape involvement. How is it? ”
Knowing that Zhang Hanguang was dispelling his vague doubts that he had subconsciously, Zhang Long felt a trace of guilt in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Old man, I'm not ......"
Raising his hand to stop Zhang Longqian from talking, Zhang Hanguang smiled kindly: "The old man understands." This is also human nature, and the old man will not blame you for anything. But, hopefully, you can believe it. He looked at Zhang Longqian, his voice became more serious, and an awe-inspiring momentum overflowed from his body, "No matter what happens." The Zhang family will definitely keep all of you safe. ”
He was the first person in the Dao Law Realm. Actually attached so much importance to a verbal agreement made with a mere mortal, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but sincerely admire his bearing, she gave a deep salute, and then said seriously: "Old man, I won't doubt anything, you don't have to let Haiyun ......"
"You also know Haiyun's strength, there is no harm in letting him follow you, you just treat it as a ...... The old man can't make up for what you have done personally. ”
Seeing Zhang Hanguang so insistent. Zhang Longqian could only give a salute and accept the order.
“…… Yes, Long Qian understood. ”
Zhang Hanguang nodded. Let Zhang Long sit down again, and said in a deep voice: "In addition, there is one thing that the old man has to mention. Girl, do you remember what the old man told you when he sent you to the academy? ”
Hearing this, Zhang Long subconsciously touched his left wrist that was covered by his sleeve.
There was a turquoise bracelet that was only one finger wide, which was given to her by Zhang Hanguang before Zhang Long sneaked into the academy, and she still remembers what Zhang Hanguang said to her at that time.
"This is what the old man has prepared for you. Your Danyuan is very peculiar, even if you leave it alone, you can stably trap the Five Elements Sword for at least half a year, if the old man doesn't catch up with this time, and the Five Elements Sword is about to break out, this bracelet can protect you once, and then you must remember to come to the old man. ”
"The most important thing is that you must not practice in vain, otherwise no one can say how much this half-year period will be advanced."
Now that the half-year period has only passed halfway, Zhang Hanguang will mention it at this moment, and it seems that most of the preparations for taking out the Five Elements Sword have been perfected.
Thinking about these secretly, Zhang Longqian nodded lightly: "Of course I remember." ”
Stroking his white beard, Zhang Hanguang said: "Although you have not deliberately cultivated, and this bracelet has not been touched until now, your Danyuan is indeed growing slowly, and it may not be beneficial to drag it out, but it must be harmful, and a bad one may be the end of the soul." Now that the old man has found a way to take out the Five Elements Sword, it is a good time to strip this time bomb from your body at this moment, girl, what do you think? ”
"What are you...... Let me choose? ”
"Not bad. After all, the Five Elements Sword is in your Danyuan, and once it is taken out, it will inevitably implicate your Danyuan turmoil, and it will be a year and a half of cultivation, and at worst, you will never be able to use spells again. Under this risk, the old man is not qualified to act arbitrarily, it is better to leave it to your own choice, and the old man can decide the time to take out the Five Elements Sword according to your choice. ”
Without an immediate answer, Zhang Longqian was silent.
She had always been clear, and although it seemed calm now, the threat of the Five Elements Sword to her had not faded. The stronger she is, the closer the Five Elements Sword is to regaining its former strength, and the more likely she is to be killed by the Five Elements Sword. Because of this, both Feng Xing and Zhang Hanguang told her to never practice, lest the Five Elements Sword recover quickly and completely destroy her.
If she could get it out sooner, the danger would have left her a day earlier, and it was a matter of course.
But......
The young man's gentle smile appeared in his mind, and Zhang Longqian clenched his wrist.
"Since the old man let Long Qian choose by himself, then...... Please allow Longqian to refuse. ”
The voice was calm and unwavering, and Zhang Longqian looked at Zhang Hanguang with only firmness in his eyes.
There was no need to hesitate at all, she must not be weakened now.
And, to get stronger.
There is no need for Zhang Longqian to say it clearly, just listening to these Zhang Hanguang understood what she meant, he didn't persuade him, just bowed his head slightly and got up and said: "In this case, the old man will go and tell the Dharma Hall that the experiment of taking out the Five Elements Sword has begun, but it will be a little slower, so that those old guys can rest easy." You stay at Zhang's house for another two days, and the old man will make you a bracelet to replace the current one. ”
Knowing that Zhang Hanguang had sheltered himself again, Zhang Longqian stood up and saluted deeply, and said with sincere gratitude: "The kindness of the old man, Long Qian remembers it in his heart, if there is a place that can use Long Qian in the future, Long Qian will never shirk it at all." ”
Zhang Hanguang shook his head and smiled lightly: "The old man doesn't want to be kind to you, how can you say such things?" At the beginning, it was all up to you to retrieve the spirit snake beads to control the passage of the demon world from being expanded, this kindness, how do you say the old man wants to repay you? ”
Looking up at the old man's kind smile, Zhang Longqian's heart warmed, and he was not pretentious, nodding and saying, "It's Long Qian's speech." ”
The smile in his eyes widened slightly, and Zhang Hanguang said again: "I see that you should have been poisoned before, or it is better to rest for a while, the old man will leave first." ”
After speaking, he nodded to Zhang Longqian, and he strode away, Ji Haiyun said hello to Zhang Longqian and left, leaving Zhang Longqian to sit back on the stool and be silent for a long time, sighing lightly with a complicated mood.
Follow Zhang Hanguang all the way back to the study, watching the old man take out a pure white scroll from the classical bookshelf, and then spread it out on the table, pondering how to write, Ji Haiyun, who was standing at the desk at random, finally couldn't help but sigh lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Old man, is this ...... Is it really good? ”
Zhang Hanguang took down a brush from the pen stand, glanced at Ji Haiyun calmly, and asked rhetorically, "What do you mean?" ”
Ji Haiyun leaned over and slowly sharpened his ink, and said, "Of course, it's a matter of the Five Elements Sword." ”
After returning to Zhang's house, Ji Haiyun learned everything found out by the Dharma Palace, and also understood how important it was to control the Five Elements Sword as soon as possible for the stability of the human world, and Zhang Hanguang brought Zhang Longqian back because of this. But now he not only concealed all this, but even promised Zhang Longqian that he would not take out the Five Elements Sword for the time being, which was completely contrary to the requirements of the Law Palace.
"What? Do you want the old man to take out the Five Elements Sword now? ”
"No, of course I don't expect that from my standpoint, it's just ...... It's not just a matter of demons, it's only been half a day since the Poison King woke up, and there have been many abnormal changes in the human world, and you haven't mentioned any of these things to her, is it really good to hide them from her like this? ”
"It doesn't matter." Holding the wide sleeves of his robe with one hand, Zhang Hanguang dipped a little ink with a brush, wrote the four vigorous words "Cha Cha Si Qi" on the white cloth, and said calmly, "She will be too busy just thinking about saving the boy now, why does the old man say these words and confuse her mind?" ”
"But ......"
As soon as Ji Haiyun wanted to say something, he saw Zhang Hanguang look up at him, and immediately stopped talking.
Zhang Hanguang hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes were calm confidence and majesty, he chuckled, lowered his head and quickly wrote on the white cloth, and it didn't take long for him to collect the pen conveniently, and then rolled the white cloth back into the scroll shape, and threw it away, and the scroll disappeared.
"Even if there is no Five Elements Sword, the old man can still keep the stability of the human world before she rescues the boy." Speaking calmly, he shook the sleeves of his robe, looked at the blue sky outside the window, and the shallow smile on the corner of his mouth was arrogant and uninhibited.
"What's there to be afraid of? The old man is Zhang Hanguang. (To be continued.) )
