Chapter 147
"Family matter?" Zhang Zhao repeated these two words, remembering Shui Ling'er's heart, Chang Qingzi saw that his expression was cold, and got up and approached: "The Dragon City Lord came from Xuanmu City, and lived with Sect Master Lu Guishan Lord in our Lingxiao for half a month. I heard that you and Miss Nie have ended their fate, and I feel very sorry. ”
"It just so happens that the Lord of Dragon City has a wife from a different race in southern Xinjiang, and the woman born to her is not yet engaged to be married. Several sect masters think you're a good person and want to match the two of you. I knew you didn't have anything to worry about right now, so I agreed. ”
Long Huaiqing stood up with a smile: "Men should get married, and women should get married." Zhang Zhao, don't worry, don't look at our brothers with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Xilan's appearance can be counted in the entire Wuxuan. The proposers have trampled on the threshold of our Long family, but my eldest brother is in love with you kid. ”
"It stands to reason that you should go to Xuanmu City to meet her, but you won't come back for a few months. The eldest brother was in a hurry, so he let Xilan come to Lingxiao first. They have all seen the head of Changqing just now, and they will definitely be worthy of you. You can't let this whole bunch of us go back in ruin, can you?"
Zhang Zhao's heart was like ashes at this time, but he had already resigned from Xuanmu City once because of Nie Wanqing, and then saw the faint worry in Chang Qingzi's eyes and Long Huaiqing's full of expectation, so he couldn't say anything if he refused, so he had no choice but to nod lightly.
Chang Qingzi and Long Huaiqing immediately relaxed when they saw that he agreed: "Hurry up, go and call Xilan out and let the two of them meet." This family affair is settled. The elders also laughed heartily and congratulated one after another, and the hall was filled with joy.
Zhang Zhao stood still and his face was calm until he heard the sound of broken footsteps behind him. Long Huaiqing approached him and laughed in a low voice: "Zhang Zhao, take a good look, this is our Long Family's nineteen thousand gold Long Xilan." ”
The red-haired girl in a green suit behaved elegantly, did not squint, lowered her eyebrows, and walked in accompanied by two elders. When he arrived in front of the hall, he also whispered softly: "I have seen the head of Changqing, and I have seen your uncles." ”
Long Huaiqing was very satisfied with his niece's performance, he stretched out his hand to hug Zhang Zhao's shoulder and laughed: "Xilan, this is Zhang Zhangzhao, he also just returned to Lingxiao today, you two are really fateful." ”
"Zhang Zhangzhao has seen Miss Long. Zhang Zhao's face was indifferent, he had already expected that Long Xilan was at the bottom of the mountain to meet the girl who provoked the fire, Long Xilan saw his appearance clearly, and his pretty face suddenly turned pale, and he was so stunned that he even forgot to return the gift.
Long Huaiqing hurriedly played the round: "Changqing master, this time the two of us have finally settled it, but we have a matter of heart." He also thought that Long Xilan was a little shy: "Zhang Zhao, Xilan is the first time to come to your Lingxiao, you have to accompany her around." ”
Zhang Zhaomulan nodded: "May I ask Miss Long, where do you want to go first?" Long Huaiqing pushed him forward with a smile, then turned around and nodded to Chang Qingzi, at this time, a sharp voice suddenly sounded in the hall: "What are you going?"
Long Xilan, who had been silent, suddenly burst out: "Second uncle, didn't you say that Zhang Zhangzhao is young and handsome?" she pointed to Zhang Zhao's face and asked loudly: "He was still carrying a bunch of things up the mountain by himself just now, where is the purpose? Where is the handsome?"
Bai Nenqiao's face turned red, and Long Xilan was so anxious that tears flowed from her eyes: "Isn't this a clear lie?" I don't care what you think of him, anyway, if my father asks me to marry this ugly monster, I would rather die." ”
This scene was really unexpected, Long Huaiqing hurriedly turned around and walked back, looked at Zhang Zhao's face and explained: "Xilan, how could we lie to you? Zhang Zhao, your face will be better in a few days, isn't it?"
Zhang Zhao shook his head and replied truthfully: "Those seniors said that there is no way to get rid of the curse, and it has been so dark since then. Seeing his wooden appearance, Long Xilan cried out of grief, turned his head and ran out of the main hall: "Go back to Xuanmu City." ”
Long Huaiqing hurriedly chased after him: "Xilan, you wait, this matter is not what you think......" Listening to his voice, everyone in the hall was silent. After a long time, Zhang Zhao's voice sounded softly: "Master, if there is nothing else, the disciple will retire." ”
Zhang Zhao and a group of miscellaneous disciples were busy working for half a day to change the jade bed for Yangxian Hall, just like the rejection of relatives in the main hall had never happened at all. But Chang Qingzi betrothed him a kiss, and the elders already knew that just now Long Xilan was crying all the way and rushed down to Lingxiao, and they had a few words in their hearts when they heard the miscellaneous disciples talk about it.
"You say, such a good kid, why doesn't there be a woman who takes a fancy to him?" After waiting for Zhang Zhao to leave, Sheng Jin stroked the jade bed and sighed loudly: "It was originally a good thing to send to the door, but his face was still like that." ”
Leng Pingyuan, who was also in a bad mood, snorted: "Judging people by their appearance is not a good couple, even if it doesn't work, it's not necessarily a bad thing." Li Mengshan sighed: "I heard what Senior Brother Sheng said a little reasonable, Zhang Zhao really doesn't have any peach blossom luck, first the girl who asked Mo and the Nie Wanqing of Jiuyou, and then count this ......"
He turned his head to look at Wu Zongting and Shu Jiuling: "Except for the woman, everything is smooth sailing, is it because his luck is used elsewhere that he will be like this?"
"It's a pity that none of us have a family. Sheng Jin said hatefully: "If I have a daughter, even if I beat her with a stick, I have to let her marry Zhang Zhao." ”
Leng Pingyuan frowned and glanced at him: "If you are as noisy as you are, it is really better to be alone." Sheng Jin laughed a few times and suddenly exclaimed: "Hey, how do I remember that someone just said that you can't judge people by their appearance?"
Zhang Zhao, who has a black face, goes to the lake to sit by the lake every day after delivering food, even if he faces the quiet lake that is as flat as a mirror, he still often thinks of Shui Ling'er, and the helpless Zhang Zhao has to practice to drive away the pain of lovesickness.
The meditation lake more than ten zhang deep does not have the huge pressure in the sea, but when the moonlight wind is silent, Zhang Zhao slowly sends out a move in the air, but he can experience a refreshing peace.
After arriving at the realm of yin and yang, Zhang Zhao never deliberately transformed into a strange place, he also found a strange place, in the past, whenever he was angry, he would become a raging flame, this period of time he was in a bad mood, and he turned into a strange scimitar without fighting, and it seemed that he was entangled.
At this time, the demon beast he turned into was much more condensed like a living thing, and his body was still surrounded by a sharp sword light like the Great Luo Heavenly Slash. It's a pity that even if there is a spiritual connection, it is not as free as it was after using the Blood Burning Charm during the death battle at sea.
Zhang Zhao knew that the spell would greatly increase the power of the demon beast, but he couldn't cut a wound on his body and sprinkle some blood on it every time he practiced. So he kept trying, hoping to regain that feeling in a peaceful way.
On this day, he turned into a golden python giant elephant and was carefully comprehending, and when he saw Long Huaiqing, who had been away for almost two months, coming from afar, he sighed after approaching: "Zhang Zhao, I really can't help you, no matter how hard I and my eldest brother persuade me, Xilan just refuses to agree to this family business." Although I have already told the head of Changqing, I think I have to come and make a compensatory deal with you. ”
Zhang Zhao put away and bowed as a courtesy: "Seniors don't have to worry about it, it's Zhang Zhao who doesn't have that blessing." Besides, let's settle this time, otherwise I always feel that I have the good intentions of the city lord. Long Huaiqing shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity, it seems that our Long family is destined not to recruit you as a son-in-law." ”
Looking Zhang Zhao up and down, Long Huaiqing remembered what he had just seen: "When did you break through the Yin and Yang Realm?" Zhang Zhao counted the days: "It's been two or three months, but I still feel that it is not stable enough." ”
"How do you want to be stable?" Long Huaiqing narrowed his eyes and looked helpless: "Xi'an broke through the realm two months earlier than you, and I saw that he was only like this when he transformed." Are you still not satisfied?"
Zhang Zhao didn't hide it, and said the feelings of turning into blood and condensing that day, Long Huaiqing pondered for a moment after listening: "Blood refining and spells are both dangerous ways to be less effective, and after the Yin and Yang realm, the realm is dominated by the realm, as long as the heart thinks about it, it is possible." When it comes to the realm of incarnation, it is no longer a spell but an idea. ”
"Don't be in a hurry in everything, you have reached yin and yang before you reach twenty, and then you have to be brave and diligent, I am afraid it will backfire. With your current cultivation, ordinary Yin and Yang cultivators can't get close, so I think it's better to compete with others to gain understanding, so as not to think too deeply and fall into demons. ”
After this family business was hopeless, Zhang Zhao relaxed a lot. Seeing that he began to play with the two monkeys and gradually returned to normal, everyone in Lingxiao was also relieved.
Three months later, Lao Xianyu sent someone to spread the news, not only did the cuckoo occupy all the business of the skeleton bandits in Xuanshui City, but even the six or seven bandit boats that escaped that day were persuaded by those rescued accomplices to join, and successfully transported a large number of goods over.
After hearing these things, Zhang Zhao couldn't resist the idea of inquiring about Shui Ling'er's news. But he himself sat by the lake for a while and felt regretful, and was about to get up and chase after him, when he saw two familiar figures.
"Brother Zhang Zhao, long time no see. Long Xiyang, who had a lot less red bumps on his face, greeted in a deep voice, and there was a cold face beside Long Xi'an: "Your face is really ugly, no wonder the nineteenth sister said that she didn't agree to this family business." ”
Zhang Zhao was a little embarrassed: "Why are you two here?" Long Xi'an replied coldly with a helpless face: "It's not thanks to you? ”
"The Dragon City Lord asked you to persuade me?" After listening to Zhang Zhao's words, the brothers of the Long family smiled bitterly: "You think it is beautiful, but now my sister can't look down on you, so she replaced us." ”
"Dad said that if the two of us can't book a family affair to go back, we will never go back to Xuanmu City. Zhang Zhao then understood their intention and laughed: "This is a good thing, I don't know if a few senior sisters can take a fancy to the two of you." ”
The three of them laughed a few times, and Long Xi'an's face regained seriousness: "This time, our Long family suffered heavy losses, and the lives of several brothers were not saved. The thirteenth and sixteenth brothers you saw are no longer there. ”
"Since then, I've been thinking about improving my cultivation all the time. The silver light flashed in Long Xi'an's hand and condensed a three-pointed two-edged gun: "I heard that the second uncle said that you have also broken the yin and yang realm." At the Beaulieu Meeting, you are slightly better, and today the two of us will compete again. Above the Meditation Lake, Zhang Zhao and Long Xi'an stood in the air with their clothes fluttering a few feet apart. Long Xi'an's voice was clear in front of the spear: "I was born with the body of Long Xiang, and after breaking the Yin and Yang realm, it is very different from before, you have to be careful." ”
Zhang Zhao's hand turned into a five-foot long blade shining with a dignified golden light, and his chest was also full of pride: "It just so happens that I have recently practiced some new things, so I will ask Brother Long for guidance." ”
The two looked at each other and nodded, and the momentum on Long Xi'an's body increased sharply, revealing a series of turquoise light from head to toe, as if there were countless openings in the body. Then the dragon groaned, and one after another turquoise wyverns emerged from his body.
Cultivators all use the meridians or weapons of their hands and feet to send out spiritual power to hurt people, and after breaking through the Yin and Yang Transformation Realm to transform into consciousness, they can condense objects around their bodies at will. However, after a very small number of cultivators with extraordinary bodies broke through the Yin and Yang realm, they could emit aura at will everywhere on their bodies, and their strength was naturally greatly enhanced.
It was not the first time that Zhang Zhao had seen such a Yin and Yang cultivator with a different body, back then, the sword demon Chang Shouhong was born with a sword body, and his whole body could emit sword qi extremely powerful. If it weren't for Gu Qianzhong's cultivation and cultivation into an invincible golden body, the outcome would be unpredictable.
Dozens of dragon-shaped true qi slowly squirmed above Long Xi'an, making him look full of demonic aura. "Hundred Dragons in the Sky" Long Xi'an let out a soft roar in his mouth, shook the three-pointed two-edged spear through the void, and one after another dragon-shaped true qi stretched out with the momentum of his stabbing attack, flying straight towards Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao was also excited to compete with people for the first time since breaking the realm, and the long knife in his hand danced wildly and released more than ten demon beasts, shaking his head and tail and running beside him, and then condensed several round balls with Da Luo Tian, mixed with pots and pans, flowers, birds, insects and fish suspended one by one.
The sound of "** wave" continued to sound, and hundreds of dragon-shaped true qi rushed into a cloud of light and shadow on this chaotic defense line. Zhang Zhao seemed to be holding a huge bouquet full of miscellaneous items and waving it again and again, eliminating Long Xi'an's powerful offensive into nothing.
"Dragons go to sea". Long Xi'an shouted loudly, twisted his hands and danced a three-pointed two-edged spear, and the knife and gun moves were mixed into a scattered flying dragon, which rushed towards Zhang Zhao overwhelmingly. As soon as the dragon-shaped true qi was released, he followed closely behind with a flat-ended three-pointed two-edged spear in both hands, and the combination of his body and spear turned into a dazzling glare, stabbing around Zhang Zhao in a row.
Zhang Zhao's body spun to meet the attack, and more than a dozen demon beasts and sword light condensation also rotated, swinging away the dragon-shaped true qi that came from the attack like a windmill. In the crisp sound of "bell", the knives and sticks rose together, and Long Xi'an's three-pointed and two-edged spear was firmly caught.
The attack in his hand is non-stop, and Long Xi'an can still release his true qi as usual. Zhang Zhao didn't have this ability, the scattered objects he condensed were consumed in a short time, and the remaining few sword light balls and more than a dozen demon beasts struggled to support and gradually fell into the wind.
The two of them could already see the difference after fighting for a while, Long Xi'an's moves were clear at a glance, but Zhang Zhao was disorganized by the flying dragons and three-pointed two-edged spears that were surging from all directions.
Although judging the surrounding situation with his soul sense, he could still block it for a while, but Zhang Zhao noticed the gap between the two. And he saw that Long Xi'an had a leisurely expression on his face, obviously not doing his best.
A year ago, the two of them were on par in cultivation, and they couldn't imagine that Long Xi'an would be so strong after breaking the Yin and Yang realm. Zhang Zhao had a surge of blood in his chest, and he wanted to recite the incineration spell to enhance his momentum.
But his lips opened slightly but he didn't make a sound, since listening to Long Huaiqing's advice, Zhang Zhao weighed the pros and cons by himself, feeling that the spell technique could only improve his cultivation for a short time, but it would cause a great loss of qi and blood, and it was really worth the loss for cultivators.
Two muffled sounds of "Pengpeng" came out, and the flying eagle giant bear among the more than ten demon beasts dissipated one after another under the impact of dozens of flying dragons. The three-pointed two-edged gun in Long Xi'an's hand was attacking continuously, so that Zhang Zhao had no chance to transform again.
The surrounding flying dragons became more and more dense, and the demon beasts that Zhang Zhao turned out gradually dispersed one by one, and Long Xi'an did not move the flying dragons to chase after the victory, but slowed down the offensive and left some gaps.
Zhang Zhao struggled to parry while thinking hard about how to crack it. Several times I tried to condense the golden light in my brain into the shape of a beast, but I couldn't do it. When he knew that Long Xi'an's subordinates were merciful and planned to admit defeat, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a solution.
A faint mark the size of a fist faintly lit up in the air, and there seemed to be a flow of water light inside, and the changing pattern flashed brightly, and after dozens of times, the beast's roar finally sounded, and a male lion appeared out of thin air and rushed into the surrounding dragon-shaped true qi.
"Huh?" Long Xi was surprised, and the runic light flashed in the air again, and this time it only flashed a few times before a golden python came out. As Zhang Zhao continued to condense into beast talismans, more than a dozen demon beasts roared one after another to rejoin the battle.
Ever since he learned the Thunder Rune from Dao Tianya, Zhang Zhao has not been able to appreciate the mystery of the power of thunder and lightning. Now he boldly tried to condense the demon beasts he was extremely familiar with with his soul consciousness into runes, and actually made more than a dozen demon beasts successfully resurrected.
"Good. Long Xi'an praised in his mouth to strengthen the offensive, and after dozens of moves, he scattered the demon beasts one after another. Although Zhang Zhao was becoming more and more proficient in condensing the beast talisman, he still couldn't resist it in the face of hundreds of dragon-shaped true qi.
The beast talisman in the air kept changing colors, and Zhang Zhao added all the two spells of blood and incineration to it in one go. The eyes of the demon beast that appeared then glowed with a shocking red light, and its body sneered as if it was on fire, covered with dense red lines, and gradually leveled the battle with one to ten.
"Crazy Dragon Spin Slash", Long Xi'an, who just thought that the victory was in his hands, surged with infinite battle spirit, and hundreds of flying dragons turned wildly in one direction. At the same time, his body continued to release true qi to join, forming a dragon-shaped vortex that tightly wrapped Zhang Zhao.
Although the two of them were a few feet away from the ground, this powerful force slowly sucked up the water of the meditation lake under their feet, forming a thick column of water in the air, which was quite spectacular. Under the continuous impact of hundreds of flying dragons, the demon beast that Zhang Zhao turned out was immediately dispersed as soon as it condensed.
"Pick me up like this Raptor. Long Xi'an flipped over to the top of the dragon-shaped qi vortex, turned his head and feet and upper body with the wind, spun the three-pointed two-edged spear and fell straight down. Now Zhang Zhao has no demon beast protection, and the surroundings are sealed by a dragon-shaped qi vortex, so he can only fall and dodge.
A giant elephant with a terrifying aura appeared in the sky. Unlike all the monsters that had come before it, this giant elephant was emitting thick smoke all over its body, and the wyvern in the sky immediately dissolved when it hit it.
A loud "boom" sounded, and Zhang Zhaogang held up the imposing three-pointed two-edged gun, and his whole body shook off guard. Long Xi'an also stopped his hand and looked at him with a frightened face: "Good guy, what the hell are you?"
Zhang Zhao tried to use the Elder Kui's sacrificial blood burning spell on this giant elephant, but he didn't expect to break the dragon-shaped qi vortex in one fell swoop. He was also surprised when he used it for the first time: "It's a spell I heard, people can't live if they use it, and I can't imagine that it really works on shape-shifting things." ”
The two slowly fell to the surface of the lake, and they both felt that they had gained a lot from this competition. Although Long Xi'an had the upper hand, Zhang Zhao's endless whimsical ideas opened his eyes. Zhang Zhao was even more satisfied, because he had finally found a way to combine the spell and the demon beast into one.
They turned around and found that there were already many people standing by the lake, Long Xiyang was beside Chang Qingzi and a dozen elders, and Ling Xiao and a group of young disciples were looking at him with a smile. The two of them were so engrossed just now that they didn't even notice when these people arrived.
Long Xi'an hurriedly approached to greet Chang Qingzi, but Zhang Zhao was mysteriously pulled by Long Xiyang: "Brother Zhang Zhao, I have to ask you for a favor, and you must let me know that senior sister later." ”
"Who? Is there anyone you don't know on Lingxiao?Who do you want me to introduce to you?" Zhang Zhao replied casually, Long Xiyang turned around and looked nervous: "Coming, coming, she's coming." ”
Zhang Zhao looked sideways at Long Xiyang's shoulder, just in front of a pair of clear and bright beautiful eyes. Long Xiyang turned around calmly: "Brother Zhang Zhao, why is this junior sister so angry, and you won't introduce me to it?" He waited for a long time and no one answered, and turned his head to see Zhang Zhaozheng stupidly stunned: "Brother Zhang Zhao, Brother Zhang Zhao?"
"Zhang Zhangzhao, are you stupid? Why do you look like this every time you see me?" Zhang Zhao shook his head vigorously when he heard this voice, making sure that he was not in a dream: "Why did you come to Lingxiao?"
Long Xiyang looked at Zhang Zhao who was completely ignoring him, and then turned to the beautiful girl with a smile on her face: "This girl, it turns out that you are not Lingxiao?"
"Why can't I come?" Shui Ling'er, who was dressed in delicate white, walked in front of Zhang Zhao with light steps: "I was also about to ask, why did you run away without making a sound?" Long Xiyang looked at Zhang Zhao with a sudden expression: "This girl is here to find you?"
Zhang Zhao's mind was in a mess, and he grabbed his hair and said with difficulty: "I see that you are very busy every day, and you have been staying in the house and being bored, so this is ......" Shui Ling'er wrinkled slightly, Qiong's nose and eyes snorted lightly, and her coquettish demeanor saw Long Xiyang unconsciously open her mouth wide.
"I don't believe it, so why don't you come and say goodbye to me?" Seeing that Zhang Zhao was speechless, Shui Ling'er approached and stretched out her finger to dot on his face: "Hey, why do I think this thing on your face seems to be lighter? ”
Long Xiyang stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Zhao and urged in a low voice: "You introduced me." Zhang Zhao looked at Shui Ling'er and stretched out his hand and pointed at him indiscriminately: "Long Xiyang." ”
"Oh. Shui Ling'er casually agreed: "Zhang Zhangzhao, didn't you say that there are many places in your Lingxiao that are very interesting? Why don't you take me to eat some delicious melons and fruits first." Zhang Zhao suddenly gave birth to a burst of vitality: "Okay." But you have to tell me first, why did you find this place?"
"You left without taking the immortal yuan, if you spread it, wouldn't it make others think that our Xuanshui Palace is not keeping its promises? So my three grandfathers and I followed Mr. Du, and they personally sent the immortal yuan. ”
Seeing that no one walked away from the two of them, Long Xiyang stood in place for a long time before he came back to his senses: "Hey, isn't it, why did you just say my name." ”
