After repeated trials, Zhang Zhao could only condense into a sword light ball less than two feet in front of him, and the power was completely different from the golden ball of light that flashed with golden light and was five feet square in his memory.

The key to this is naturally the golden word of the soul method in his mind, and Zhang Zhao has been reciting the scriptures dozens of times in a row, trying to find the mystery, but the result is nothing. One night, just after he finished reciting the scriptures, the nine golden words suddenly trembled, but it was the eighth sentence of the Requiem scriptures that finally appeared.

Zhang Zhao couldn't sleep under the excitement, and he wanted to know what the use of this golden word was. He walked into the courtyard and played in the dark for a long time, but he didn't see anything unusual.

Disappointed, Zhang Zhao had no choice but to return to the house, and the white monkey who was awakened by him raised his head to look at him, curled up in the corner of the bed and continued to sleep. Jiang Ruhai on the other bed rubbed his eyes and said vaguely, "Big brother, you still haven't slept yet." ”

Zhang Zhao whispered softly, but he felt that something was wrong in his eyes, he lay on his bed and thought for a while, quietly got up and walked to the white monkey, lifted the monkey over and stared at it.

The white monkey who was sleeping soundly squinted at him with monkey eyes, pillowed his head on his hand and continued to sleep, Zhang Zhao carried it and looked at it for a while, then gently put it down and walked to Jiang Ruhai's bed.

Jiang Ruhai in the dream always felt that something was wrong, and when he opened his eyes, he was startled. Zhang Zhao squatted on the side of the bed and leaned close to his face, staring at him intently with his eyes, and saw that Jiang Ruhai woke up and was like an evil spirit, without saying a word.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Ruhai thought that Zhang Zhao was injured, so he quickly sat up and touched his forehead: "Could it be a fever?" Zhang Zhao stared at Jiang Ruhai's face for a long time, then turned around and went back.

"It's okay, sleep, sleep. Zhang Zhao, who was lying on the bed, was in a fluctuating mood, because when he was just staring at the white monkey and Jiang Ruhai, he could see another illusory face hidden under their faces.

When the white monkey was asleep, the face of the phantom was still facing Zhang Zhao serenely. Jiang Ruhai was the same, but when he woke up, his illusory face was also very exaggerated. It is extremely difficult to distinguish between the two illusory faces and theirs, and it seems that the difference can only be discerned when there is a great change in mood.

When he got up early in the morning, Zhang Zhao began to stare at everyone he saw, and even the disciples in the back kitchen who brought breakfast were furious in his heart. After recovering from his injury, he had been recuperating in his hut, and he didn't wait for the elders to finish eating, so he couldn't wait to go to the Yangxian Hall.

"Hey, why are you here? It's not that we all go to your side these days, and by the way, we can also move our muscles. Sheng Jin, who had just put down his rice bowl, saw Zhang Zhao's eyes looking straight away, and thought that his face was stained with rice, so he reached out and wiped it.

As a result, Zhang Zhao stared at him for a while and then changed to Deng Chun next to him, Deng Chun also groped up and down, but he didn't see anything strange on his face, and just about to ask, Zhang Zhao had already stood in front of Leng Pingyuan.

Although Leng Pingyuan tried hard to keep a straight face, he was still a little impatient by Zhang Zhao: "You kid, what are you staring at me?" turned his face and saw Sheng Jin and Deng Chun also staring at him: "What do you two look at, he has been watching me longer than the two of you combined, it must be that I am more powerful than the two of you combined." ”

Before Deng Chun and Sheng Jin could speak, Zhang Zhao had already changed to Li Mengshan, and all the elders in the hall noticed Zhang Zhao's abnormality, and looked at him with questions.

Without waiting for the elders to ask, Zhang Zhao said that he could see that illusory face. Sheng Jin laughed when he heard this: "I thought you kid was so neat, why did you fall into this dazzling problem at a young age." ”

Jiang Ruhai, who had been following Zhang Zhao silently, was also worried: "Big brother, he squatted in front of my bed in the middle of the night without sleeping, his eyes were motionless, Uncle Wu, is he a little nocturnal?"

Wu Zongting shook his head: "I don't think so, they all say that each other is born from the heart, and the sages in ancient books also have the true appearance." It is a discerning eye that can see all things as they are. But what it is, I have never seen it in person, so I can't comment. ”

Shu Jiuling pondered for a moment: "When I studied physiognomy, it was also said in the book, people have two phases, one is the surface, and the other is the heart. The surface is virtual, but the heart is real. The unity of the virtual and the real is the auspicious phase, which can prolong life. If the virtual and the real are separated, it is easy to be overthought and riddled with diseases. ”

"Huh?" Sheng Jin opened his mouth and closed his mouth for a long time: "Listen to the meaning of the two, Zhang Zhao has been lying for a few months, and then he has become a looker?" He beckoned to Zhang Zhao: "Come on, come on, you see if my virtual and real appearance is one." ”

Zhang Zhao didn't move: "Uncle Sheng, you can't get together anymore, according to what Uncle Sheng said, you will definitely live a long life." Sheng Jin's heart suddenly burst into joy when he heard this: "It's too good at talking, Zhang Zhao, if you change your career to become a fortune teller, you will be able to make money." ”

Deng Chun also came to his senses when he heard this: "What about me, Zhang Zhao, how did you look at my face just now?" Zhang Zhao thought for a while and said: "Uncle Deng doesn't seem to be resting well, I just saw that your face was a little frightened." ”

Leng Pingyuan snorted: "You have to let people smash the signboard as soon as you open, the two of them took turns snoring last night, and they didn't know how good they slept soundly, if I was frightened, someone would believe me." ”

In the laughter of everyone, Deng Chun sighed softly: "Last night, I suddenly dreamed that I encountered a robbery and murder on that trip, and I was shocked." Then he pointed at Sheng Jin: "Later, he snored alone in the middle of the night, and it was none of my business." ”

"Ouch, I heard what you mean, he really works?" Li Mengshan hurriedly greeted Zhang Zhao: "Come on, come on, your Uncle Li's favorite thing is to let people tell my fortune." ”

Zhang Zhao was just about to pass, Leng Pingyuan shouted: "The turn is also my turn first, and everything has to come first and come first." Li Mengshan shook his head again and again: "I'm older than you in terms of age, forget it, I won't fight with you, I'll show him first." ”

"Uncle Leng's face is a little different, although he looks straight on the outside, the face on the inside is always smiling, if it is like this again. Zhang Zhao grinned and gestured to Leng Pingyuan: "Yes, yes, that's it, it's a little bigger, okay, it's just together now." ”

Sheng Jin looked at Leng Pingyuan with a smile on his face that was different from his usual ones, and felt that it was indeed pleasing to the eye: "Don't say it, Lao Leng looks much stronger than his original stone face." ”

Zhang Zhao looked around for a while, and commented on the elders one by one, and Wu Zongting and Shu Jiuling occasionally interjected a few words, and only let Zhang Zhao leave until noon.

Jiang Ruhai was relieved to see that Zhang Zhao was not suffering from a strange illness, and he accompanied Zhang Zhao back to the hut and suddenly said: "Big brother, since you are so good, I will pack up and leave." ”

Although Jiang Ruhai had already revealed his intention a few days ago, Zhang Zhao was still a little reluctant when it came to separation, but it was not a matter for him to stay in Lingxiao like this, so he could only nod: "Then brother will go back first, if you miss me, you will come to Lingxiao to live for a few days, and when the business is done, you will come and get the fairy crystal." ”

Zhang Zhao accompanied Jiang Ruhai to the Lingxiao guest room, and originally wanted to send him and the tall and thin cultivator to the foot of Lingxiao Mountain, but Jiang Ruhai resolutely refused with tears in his eyes, and the two waved goodbye on the mountain road.

Zhang Zhao, who endured the sorrow in his heart, returned to the hut and felt uneasy, and walked quickly to the shore of Jingxin Lake to relieve himself. Although they have not been with Jiang Ruhai for a long time, the two are very cordial to each other, and it is really sad to leave like this suddenly.

Standing quietly for a long time, Zhang Zhao turned around and was just about to leave, when he was greeted by a person wearing a Taoist robe, who was the head of Lingxiao, Chang Qingzi. Since Zhang Zhao and the others went to the realm of life and death, Changqingzi has been busy with everything in the door, and he has not even shown up when Zhang Zhao was injured, so I don't know how he has free time to calm the lake today.

After the two met, Zhang Zhao gave a salute and was about to leave, but Chang Qingzi shouted: "Wait, Zhang Zhao, you accompany me here to say a few words." ”

Zhang Zhao responded and came over, but Chang Qingzi looked at the lake and didn't say a word, and it took a long time before he suddenly said: "You did a good job of stopping Sun Hu, I asked them, I really didn't expect you to have such courage and courage." ”

"I don't have much guts. Everyone is in the same game, of course, one by one. Zhang Zhao smiled: "What's more, I was at the back at the time, so I thought that I could stop it for a while." ”

"Sun Hu invited those cultivators from the Upper Three Realms, and they were all killed by you alone?" Chang Qingzi turned around and looked at him with blazing eyes: "When did you start to suddenly become so powerful?"

Zhang Zhao thought about it and didn't hide it, and told him about his encounter with Zhuo Xuhan in Lotus Town. He only said a few words, and Chang Qingzi waved his hand: "I see, since you can meet Zhuo Xuhan, even if those cultivators are doubled, no one will be surprised if you kill them." ”

Feeling that Chang Qingzi seemed to be a little absent-minded, Zhang Zhao looked carefully and found that Chang Qingzi's face was sad: "Master Changqing, what's wrong with you, isn't that business a good business?"

Chang Qingzi shook his head: "The business has been planned for a long time, and now that the two factions of Lingxiao and the Red Maple Sect have become relatives, they are working together, and these days, business is naturally getting better and better." ”

Zhang Zhao smiled: "Then what are you unhappy about, I thought you lost money." He thought of his immortal crystals and comforted: "Even if you really lose, it doesn't matter, my immortal crystals are enough for us to spend a while." ”

Everyone has been busy with their own work, Chang Qingzi only knew that Wu Zongting and others went out to pick up Zhang Zhao, and everyone worked together to kill Tang Qun. Although Wu Zongting sealed Qianli, the two said that Zhang Zhao took Tang Qun's trick, and the two took advantage of the gap to succeed, but the rest of them didn't care in the chaos, and they were still humble.

Although Chang Qingzi had some doubts, when he heard that Zhang Zhao had met Zhuo Xuhan, he naturally said anything. He didn't bother to ask what moves Zhuo Xuhan had taught Zhang Zhao, let alone how many immortal crystals Zhang Zhao had obtained from several killers.

Ruyi Pavilion was notorious, and the people involved in Tang Qun's death were silent, and Chang Qingzi also deeply agreed when he heard Zhang Zhao talk about the fact that the elders were not allowed to spread Zhuo Xuhan.

The two chatted for a while, and Chang Qingzi finally couldn't help but ask: "Zhang Zhao, what happened to Sun Hu who hired someone to rob and kill you?"

Zhang Zhao said directly: "I'll let him go." Chang Qingzi frowned: "You let him go?"

He said that he let go and would no longer be an enemy of Lingxiao from now on. Zhang Zhao's answer made Chang Qingzi smile bitterly: "Let go, how can it be so easy." If he could really let go, would he have to wait until today?"

Zhang Zhao felt that although Chang Qingzi didn't believe Sun Hu's words, he didn't get angry because he let him go, so he originally learned Sun Hu's later words, and when Sun Hu cried bitterly, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Chang Qingzi's eyes There seemed to be tears in his eyes.

"Now that I think about it, he can't be blamed for what happened back then. Changqingzi looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's not just him, for so many years, in fact, I haven't been able to let go." ”

"You know all about it, and there is not a single person who died that day who did not know me. None of them were killed by my own hands. But just like Sun Hu, their deaths have nothing to do with me. ”

Chang Qingzi looked at Zhang Zhao: "Actually, after knowing this news, I thought that you would also be killed by me because of this incident." He approached and patted Zhang Zhao on the shoulder: "You did the right thing about Sun Hu, the old grudges of our old guys, it's better not to let you bear them." ”

"It looks like I'm really old. Zhang Zhao seemed to be a little happier when he saw Chang Qingzi: "If you want to do a good job in the position of the head, whether it is your own life or the life and death of others, you must be decisive, and I have become more and more unable to see it over the years." ”

Without waiting for Zhang Zhao to answer, a Lingxiao messenger disciple shouted loudly and ran over: "Master, master, something is wrong." Chang Qingzi straightened his waist slightly, the sentimentality on his face was gone, and he returned to his usual calm appearance of not smiling: "Speak slowly, what's wrong?"

"There were a lot of strange people at the reception desk, all of them were like ghosts, and they stood there without speaking, and one of the leaders said that he wanted to see Xiaozun. The transmission disciple thought for a while and added, "I couldn't find the head of the sect just now, so Master Gu went down to guard it, saying that several of them were Yin and Yang cultivators. ”

Before Chang Qingzi could answer, a chubby figure seemed to be running over, and he saw Zhang Zhao shouting from a distance: "Big brother, come quickly, I see that big business is going to be delivered to the door." ”

Lying down the gun. As the start of the school year approached, the child was transferred to the school by the Education Bureau and was allowed to attend the new school without any formalities. Not only is the condition poor, but the distance is several times farther than the original school, and I heard that it will be demolished and transferred next year. A few days before the start of the school year, hundreds of parents petitioned like flies, and several were detained for clashes with the police......

On the Lingxiao welcome platform, dozens of people in black stood motionless, ignoring the strings of crystal shining water droplets of the waterfall in front of the eaves. Gu Qianzhong was dressed in red, and stood with his hands in his hands leisurely, but several Lingxiao disciples behind him had nervous faces.

Four or five feet in front of Gu Qianzhong's body, it was obvious that there were seven or eight people with the highest cultivation among these black-clothed people, and the old man in front of these people had a thin face and white hair, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was recuperating his spirits. Several people behind him were either covered with black veils or wearing hats, and none of them showed their faces.

Being able to be so comfortable in front of Gu Qianzhong, these people naturally have a lot of cultivation, especially the thin-faced old man at the front exudes a strong cold aura all over his body, and occasionally water droplets are blown by the wind, and they turn into ice beads and fall to the ground when they are a few feet away from him, they have been waiting here for a long time, and the thin-faced old man has already piled up thick white crumbs under his feet.

Even a few Lingxiao disciples were a little anxious, but these black-clothed people and Gu Qianzhong were not the slightest bit anxious. Finally, the footsteps sounded on the mountain road, and Chang Qingzi's voice came loudly: "I don't know if the distinguished guests are coming, Chang Qingzi is late to greet him, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Gu Qianzhong stepped back slightly, gave up his position, and the thin-faced old man opened his eyes and took a step lightly: "Yin Spirit Cave Elder Gai Yu, I have seen the head of Changqing. Chang Qingzi smiled kindly: "Elder Gai is polite, you and I meet for the first time, I don't know if Elder Gai led the crowd to my Lingxiao, what are you doing?"

Gai Yu said with a rigid expression: "Don't talk nonsense like Jiuyang, the head of Changqing is really refreshing." Gai also said bluntly, this time, one is to ask Zhang Zhao Chanzun of the noble faction in the Yin Spirit Cave, and the other is to be entrusted by others to pay back some old accounts. ”

"Oh? I said I had to come down, I was really looking for you. Chang Qingzi turned around and looked at Zhang Zhao, and said with a smile: "When did you still enter the Zen Dao?

When Mo Junfeng came back that day, he mainly talked about the ambush set up by Sun Hu and others in the main hall, and the matter of the Heavenly Puppet Gate was told in detail in the Yangxian Hall. Therefore, Chang Qingzi only had a vague impression, and when he saw that Gai Yu and the others were obviously not hostile, he waved his hand to let Zhang Zhao come over.

Zhang Zhao stepped forward slowly, and before he could speak, Gai Yu bowed slightly: "Old decay Gai Yu, I've seen Zen Zun." He was not so polite to Chang Qingzi and Gu Qianzhong, and Zhang Zhao immediately hurriedly returned the salute: "Senior is polite, please tell me if you have something." ”

Gai Yu stood up straight: "The Yin Spirit Cave has been friends with the Heavenly Puppet Sect for generations, and the sect heard that there is news from Xiangkun that Zen Zun has a spell that can solidify the soul and melt the soul. And the people they went to were greatly benefited after listening to the chanting of the Zen Venerable. ”

"That's why Lao Yu led the crowd to come, Xiang Kun and the others were in retreat, and several old guys from the Heavenly Puppet Gate had business in their hands, so they asked Lao Yu to bring the thirty best immortal crystals they owed. Gai Yu gently returned his hand, took a silk bag from the hand of a man in black behind him, and offered it with both hands.

Before Zhang Zhao could speak, Jiang Ruhai behind him had already rushed over: "Big brother, count quickly, don't let people deceive." At this time, I heard Zhang Zhao say calmly: "Senior, I can't have these immortal crystals." Because the letter of debt written by the brother has been lost. ”

Jiang Ruhai purred in his throat and almost turned his back on his breath: "Big brother, is there such a thing as you?" At this time, even Chang Qingzi and Gu Qianzhong were slightly shocked in their hearts, thirty top-grade immortal crystals were not a small amount, and all the benefits of Lingxiao's saddest years together were not so much.

Gai Yu didn't take back the silk bag: "Dong Lao'er of the Heavenly Puppet Gate only asked me to bring the fairy crystal, and he didn't mention anything about the arrears, even if Zen Zun lost the arrears, he couldn't repay the debts." After speaking, he sent his hands away: "Zen Zun doesn't have to be obsessed with such trivial things, please accept the fairy crystal." ”

Jiang Ruhai grabbed the silk bag and grabbed it back, but although the silk bag was held in his hand by Gai Yuping, he pulled it a few times and still didn't move: "Little fat man, don't you still want to rob the old man?"

Zhang Zhao pulled Jiang Ruhai back behind him and took the silk bag with both hands: "Since this is the case, thank you seniors." As soon as the silk bag arrived in his hand, Jiang Ruhai reached out from behind and grabbed it: "This thing has to be counted on the spot, otherwise the old man will not admit it if it is less in a while." ”

Gai Yu squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Ruhai, his eyes flashed a hint of discoloration, Zhang Zhao thought he was going to be angry and hurriedly persuaded: "Senior, don't blame, my brother is like this, he can't care about anything else when he sees Xianjing." ”

The corners of Gai Yu's mouth moved, even if he smiled: "Zen Zun don't worry, Xianjing is also the rule of our people to do business in person, although the little fat man is a little anxious, the way of doing things is right." ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Jiang Ruhai shook open the silk bag, leaned his head over and counted it a few times: "Big brother, the number is right, I finally asked for this account back." He fastened the mouth of the silk bag tightly: "I'll take it for you first, and then go up and put it with those later." ”

Looking at the silk bag in Jiang Ruhai's hand, Chang Qingzi laughed and said, "Good guy, even I am a little red-eyed." Zhang Zhao, the friends of the Yin Spirit Cave have come from afar, and they have been standing here for a long time, so let's go up and talk slowly. ”

Zhang Zhao came to his senses at this time, and Chang Qingzi stretched out his hand: "Everyone, let's go up and talk about something later." Gai Yu looked at Zhang Zhao and took the lead in following Chang Qingzi up the steps, and the black-clothed people behind him followed one by one silently.

When passing by Gu Qianzhong's side, Gai Yu stopped: "Although you are younger than the old man, your cultivation is stronger, and it is really extraordinary." He nodded at Gu Qianzhong and quickly followed Chang Qingzi.

When the two of them were relatively quiet just now, they were already fighting in secret, although Gai Yu suppressed the strength of his whole body, there were still a lot of ice chips under his feet, and Gu Qianzhong was like nothing and showed no traces, and he had already won half a goal invisibly.

When he arrived at the Lingxiao Palace, Changqingzi called people to serve tea, and everyone was polite, and Gai Yu mentioned the matter: "Zen Zun, although the exercises practiced by my Yin Spirit Cave and the Heavenly Puppet Gate are different, the requirements for soul compatibility are the same, so I want to ask Zen Zun to spend some time and recite the scriptures a few times for us people." ”

Chang Qingzi and the rest of the Lingxiao elders in the main hall were full of curiosity, they didn't understand, just with the few verses that Zhang Zhao often chanted in his mouth, how could these old monsters who almost never came out to walk be so polite.

Before Zhang Zhao could answer, Jiang Ruhai on the side waved his hand at him again and again, and Gai Yu immediately understood: "That little fat man who is greedy for money, let you negotiate the price for this matter, and I'll see what you can do." ”

Everyone in the hall relaxed and looked at it with a smile, Jiang Ruhai winked at Zhang Zhao and stood up proudly: "This thin old man, the price that my eldest brother chanted to those middle and third realms is two top-grade immortal crystals, I don't know what kind of cultivation everyone you sent?"

Gai Yu said without hesitation: "Seven Sanhua, fourteen five qi, four yin and yang." He looked at Jiang Ruhai calmly: "Little fat man, you are not very good at business, so you can tell me the price." ”
