Chapter 56: Qingming City (4)
When the second day came, Zhongli had not slept all night, and he had long been accustomed to the habit of meditating and practicing at night.
"Boom... Knock..."There were two soft knocks on the door, and Zhongli woke up from his meditation.
"Zhongli Daoyou, I don't know if you woke up?" came the voice of the old woman at the door, quite polite.
"It's coming," Zhongli said as he walked towards the door.
"Is there anything wrong with Granny Li?" Zhongli opened the door, and when he saw the old woman at the door, he clasped his fists and whispered, he had always respected the old man, even if the other party belonged to the sect of the Divine Sword Sect.
The old woman was smiling and amiable, since she heard Su Luo's analysis, she didn't dare to underestimate Zhongli now, maybe this young man would become Su Luo's big helper, and she was naturally extremely polite at this time.
"Zhongli Daoyou hasn't had breakfast yet, why don't you join us?" Deacon Su is already waiting in the hall. Granny Li said, looking extremely kind.
Zhongli looked at Granny Li's smile, a little puzzled, not knowing how to change her attitude so much from the past. But he also wanted to find out what the purpose of the Divine Sword Sect inviting him to come was, so he took advantage of the situation and went to the hall with Granny Li.
After coming to the hall, Zhongli couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw that only Su Luo and Bei Xiaoling were there, and there were still two empty seats. He thought it was all together, but he didn't expect it to be just the four of them.
"Deacon Sue, Miss. Zhongli Daoyou is here. After Granny Li took Zhongli to the hall, she shouted to the two, and Zhongli also shouted the name of the second daughter, which was regarded as a hello.
Su Luo nodded, looked at Zhongli and said in a very gentle tone, "Daoyou rested well last night?"
When Zhongli heard Su Luo's words of concern, his heart was a little hot, and he hurriedly replied, "It's good for Deacon Su to call me Zhongli." Thanks to the acceptance, all is well. ”
After taking his seat, Zhongli shifted his attention to the table, for some reason, at this moment, he only felt that his heartbeat was a little faster, and he was a little afraid to look directly into Su Luo's eyes. He didn't know why, he just thought he was nervous because of her great strength.
Su Luo looked at Zhongli and seemed to be a little flustered, and he didn't think much about it, after all, the two were not familiar with each other, and some caution should be deserved. "That's fine, then I'll call Daoyou by his real name. When Zhongli Daoyou first arrived in this Qingming City, I don't know what his plans are in the future?"
Hearing Su Luo's call or add the word Daoyou, Zhongli didn't know why, he felt a little empty in his heart, but when he heard the second half of the question, thinking of his feud with the Divine Sword Sect, Zhongli became cautious, looked at Su Luo and replied cautiously: "I don't have any plans for the time being, I don't know what Deacon Su means?"
Without a positive answer, he wanted to find out the purpose of Su Luo's invitation to the Divine Sword Sect.
Bei Xiaoling looked flustered, the things were almost half eaten, and the two were still testing each other, so they couldn't help but say, "Zhongli, are you willing to join my senior sister's forces?"
Zhongli was a little surprised, so direct? But the other party didn't know anything about him, this was too hasty, he didn't believe that the other party would take a fancy to his appearance or something, could he have other plans for himself? Thinking of the Tianzi document on his body, Zhongli couldn't help but get nervous.
Hearing Bei Xiaoling's straightforward question, and then seeing Zhongli's cautious appearance, Su Luo had a headache, but Bei Xiaoling's words had already come out, and he could only say it at this moment: "Yes, Zhongli Daoyou, are you willing to join my forces?"
Although Zhongli has always been hostile to the Divine Sword Sect, the other party has not yet discovered his origin at this moment, and he has no ability to take revenge, so he is unwilling to completely tear his face, so he can only ask carefully: "Join you, Divine Sword Sect or Xuanyin Pavilion?" Deacon Su doesn't know much about me, and I'm curious why you want to recruit me." Aren't you afraid that I'm a spy of the Hengdao Sect?"
When Granny Li, who had not spoken beside her, heard Zhongli's words, her face suddenly collapsed, and she looked at Zhongli in disbelief. Even Bei Xiaoling was a little hostile, but Su Luo didn't change anything, and replied lightly: "Don't suspect that you don't need to use people, Shangguan Yaowen hasn't had the courage to send a monk with the strength to challenge the Yuanwu Realm to do the details." ”
"It's not to join the Divine Sword Sect or the Xuanyin Pavilion, it's just that I, Su Luo, have the power in Qingming City. In the future, if Zhongli Daoyou has a good place to go, just tell me, I don't know what Zhongli Daoyou thinks?"
Zhongli was a little confused when she heard this, and challenged the Yuan Martial Realm? Could it be that she knew that she had defeated Elder Chen in Sunset City?
Su Luo shook his head: "I don't have an impression, yesterday should have been the first time we met." ”
Zhong Li was a lot relieved when he heard the answer, and then asked, "Then why does Deacon Su think that my strength of the first order of the Spirit Martial Realm can challenge the Yuan Martial Realm cultivators?"
Su Luo was stunned when she heard Zhong Li's words, she originally thought that Zhong Li was at least a high-level genius monk in the Spirit Martial Realm, but looking at his expression yesterday, he was obviously comparing himself with Bei Xiaoling and Shangguan Yaowen.
Bei Xiaoling and Granny Li also glanced at each other, a little surprised, wondering if Su Luo really looked away?
"Spirit Martial Realm First Order, then presumably Zhongli Daoyou is at least a genius monk who can challenge beyond the ranks, right?" Su Luo asked, believing in her own vision.
Zhongli was a little surprised, he thought that he had accidentally exposed the realm, it turned out that Su Luo and the others didn't know, but he was also a lot relieved at the moment, he didn't want to expose his strength, so he changed the topic and asked, "I don't know what benefits I can get from joining Deacon Su's command." ”
Su Luo saw that Zhongli seemed to be loosened, and he didn't care that he didn't answer his question, and replied: "Spiritual skills, exercises, spiritual weapons, spiritual stones, cultivation is nothing more than these things, what Zhongli Daoist wants, you only need to complete the task according to the rules I set, and get the contribution degree, you can ask me for it." ”
Su Luo made a brief introduction, which was a bit similar to the rules of the sect, which was nothing more than killing the enemy or fighting for Su Luo's interests.
Zhongli thought about it, knowing himself and knowing his opponent, and approaching the Divine Sword Sect in order to understand the future enemy, and now he lacked the right spiritual skills to use, so he agreed. At this time, the food was almost over, and Su Luo left with Bei Xiaoling. The two of them were left, the old woman and Zhongli.
"Since you have agreed to join Deacon Su's command, we will be our own people in the future, so I will call you Zhongli" After the old woman finished speaking, she continued without waiting for Zhong to leave: "It's just that every newcomer needs to do a strength test, so as to facilitate the future task arrangement, so as not to sacrifice innocently, I hope to understand." ”
Zhongli looked at the old woman quite politely, thinking that he just wanted to test his strength. Nodding his head, he agreed. followed the old woman to the small square in the courtyard.
At this time, there were many people in the small square, some of them were competing with each other, and those who were cultivating spiritual skills, and when they saw the arrival of the old woman and Zhongli, they all stopped and looked at the two.
The old woman stepped forward and looked at everyone and said, "This young man's name is Zhongli, he has just joined Deacon Su's command, and he has come to test his strength at this moment, so let everyone come out of the open space." ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhongli again and said, "Our test here is extremely simple, just fight against people." Everyone can stop at any time during the discussion, and shout the word admit defeat immediately. ”
"Oh, I don't know the level of Zhongli's brother's realm, who do you want to compete with?" a strong man asked Zhongli after hearing the old woman's words.
The old woman didn't wait for Zhong Li to take it, and said: "He is a first-order Lingwu realm, so everyone shows their own realm, let him choose his opponent by himself." ”
After the old woman's words were finished, everyone showed different expressions of surprise, looking at Zhongli's appearance, but a young man has a first-order cultivation in the Spirit Martial Realm, which is amazing enough. Many people cast friendly glances, and then released their spiritual power one by one, revealing their realm.
Feeling the pressure of spiritual power from various realms, Zhongli finally chose an opponent of the fourth order of the Spirit Martial Realm.
The big man who was pointed at by Zhongli's finger was stunned for a moment, and then stood up and came out, he didn't expect that Zhongli wanted to challenge him.
"Mao Kai is also an extremely powerful monk at the fourth order of the Spirit Martial Realm, and that young man is too big to choose to challenge him. ”
"Yes, if he chooses other fourth-order cultivators of the Spirit Martial Realm, he will still have a chance to perform well, but I am afraid that he will be killed by Mao Kai in seconds. ”
Hearing the people talking next to him, Zhongli didn't respond, and walked directly to the open space that was left.
"Brother Zhongli really wants to choose to challenge me?" Mao Kai confirmed again when he arrived at Zhongli's opposite.
Zhongli nodded, he didn't say much, he didn't want to completely expose his strength, but also wanted to gain a firm foothold here as soon as possible, so he chose Mao Kai, whose strength was neither high nor low.
Mao Kai is a big man in his early thirties, and when he saw that Zhongli was seventeen or eighteen years old and had the first order of the Spirit Martial Realm, he really admired it, but he thought the same as everyone else, Zhongli was too young after all, he didn't feel that he really had the strength to beat him, and he would even be ruthlessly crushed by him.
"I'll just stand, Brother Zhongli, you can strike first, I'll let you make three moves!" Mao Kai said boldly, he was also a physical cultivator, he felt that Zhongli Lingwu Realm was a first-order, and he couldn't even break through his physical defenses.
