Chapter 148: The Opening of the Dao History Conference
Duun-ri is a water castle built on a river, and all the buildings and roads here are built by a giant bamboo called Momochi. Zhang Haotian walked on the road paved with ink-seeping bamboo, and could hear the sound of Juanjuan water flowing from below.
A city was built with bamboo alone, and the designers of the city were highly skilled, and it is rumored that when the base of the city was built, the base of the cloud was stabilized without using a single spell.
And after hundreds of years of washing, Duyunli has developed into a small city of considerable scale, history does not make this water city fragile, but confirms its unbreakable, its central building Zhufang Pagoda has held the Taoist history meeting many times.
Zhang Haotian is now walking this road straight to the Zhufang Pagoda, Zhang Haotian who followed behind Le Zheng Tingyin looked up at the towering Zhufang Pagoda, it is rumored that it took a total of 39,999 ink-seeping bamboos to build the Zhufang Pagoda, and finally let the majestic Zhufang Pagoda in front of him come out.
"Hurry up, Haotian!" Le Zhengtingyin urged.
Zhang Haotian patronized the Zhufang Pagoda in the distance, and unconsciously stopped, and only after being urged by Le Zheng Tingyin did he come back to his senses.
Zhang Haotian, who was wearing a Qingcheng robe, quickly followed Le Zheng Tingyin, and then kept looking down at his robe with uneasiness.
This is no wonder, after all, there is a demon spirit hidden in the shadow of his robe now, and the demon slayer of the Zhang family will pass by from time to time, but fortunately, they don't seem to notice the demon spirit in the shadow of Zhang Haotian's robe.
As soon as he thought of this demon spirit, Zhang Haotian's mood became more and more uneasy, and this uneasiness arose from Zhang Haotian after hearing the name of this demon spirit.
Duyun was the name of this demon spirit, Zhang Haotian asked her why she was called this name, and she replied that at the moment of birth, a voice in the dark said that she was called this name.
Since her name is exactly the same as the water city in Duyunli, then she herself must be inseparable from Duyunli, Zhang Haotian remembered the relationship between the demon spirit and the natural lifeline that Zhang Shui told him, and he was even more worried, and always felt that if she was caught by the demon exterminator and the blood sacrifice, something big would definitely happen in Duyunli.
It was precisely because of this thought that Zhang Haotian agreed to let her hide in the shadow of her Dao robe, which was her unique seepage technique, which was able to hide her body in the shadows, and the only drawback was that she could not move freely.
And she was hidden in the shadow of Zhang Haotian's robe, and Zhang Haotian didn't even feel her existence, if it weren't for the occasional words she would say to Zhang Haotian, Zhang Haotian thought that she had already left.
In order to distinguish her from the place name of Duyunli, Zhang Haotian called her Yunli, and Yunli also agreed with him.
Zhufang Pagoda is the center of Duyunli, on the street to the north of it, separated from Zhang Haotian by about seven streets, Zhang Shui is following Cheng Lixiao, the hall master of the branch hall of Duyunli, to set off towards Zhufang Pagoda, Zhang Haotian did not know that Zhang Shui was looking for him so close to him.
"Why don't you wear the robes of the elders today? After watching Zhang Shui change back into his usual black robe, Cheng Lixiao asked Zhang Shui in puzzlement, he didn't know Zhang Shui's dressing habits when he was level, and thought that Zhang Shui had always been so high-profile, wearing an elder's robe all day long to show his identity as an elder.
"There's no need for that anymore, it's better to keep a low profile now. Zhang Shui explained.
Today's Zhang Shui didn't wear his body as an elder of the Snowflake Sect anymore, because that body was too eye-catching, if it wasn't for the purpose of showing his identity to the Instrument Sect Branch, he really didn't want to take it out and wear it, and there was no need to continue wearing it now.
What's more, Zhang Shui knows what the days are these days, and this is also the reason why he is in a hurry to come to Duyunli. The Demon Slayer has a complete plan to hunt demon spirits, and the demon slayer forces distributed in various cities in the Eastern Regions have a fixed cleaning period, and these few days are the hunting period of the Demon Slayer in the clouds.
And the Zhang family has always sent some young Zhang family disciples to experience during the hunting period of demon exterminators in various places, and Zhang Shui is worried that there will be people of Zhang Haotian's generation who will recognize Zhang Haotian.
However, Zhang Shui didn't expect that Zhang Haotian was still followed by a demon spirit who had been locked into a hunting target by the demon exterminator.
The connections of the instrument system are really terrible, just one night, Cheng Lixiao got the VIP seat of the Taoist History Society, and before that, no one in the instrument system would listen to the speech of the Taoist History Society.
When entering the Zhufang Pagoda, Zhang Shui and his entourage attracted the attention of many scholars in the Taoist and historical circles, but Cheng Lixiao, a big-eyed person, didn't care about these at all, and Zhang Shui didn't care either, for the same reason as Cheng Lixiao. In the end, the two of them came to the VIP seat and sat down peacefully, naturally and calmly.
Surrounded by big figures in the Taoist history world, the two people who are in charge of the situation are sandwiched between a group of people who study the history of the Taoist world, which seems out of place and too abrupt.
The two ignored the gazes of others and waited for the opening of the Dao History Meeting, when a person suddenly sat down in the empty seat next to Cheng Lixiao. The man said to Cheng Lixiao: "I didn't expect that Lord Cheng really came to Zhufang Pagoda, could it be that he suddenly had any interest in Taoist history?"
Cheng Lixiao looked back and found that it was an old acquaintance in Duyun, that is, the nobleman who specially prepared these two VIP seats for the two of them today, Zhong Lixi, the master of Zhufang Tower.
"The Lord of Zhongli Tower is polite. Late life is still not interested in Taoist history, and today I came to accompany the adult next to me. Cheng Lixiao introduced Zhang Shui who was sitting next to him to Zhong Lixi.
"Oh, this adult is ......" Zhong Lixi looked at Zhang Shui in front of him, and his old eyes narrowed into a slit.
Zhang Shui looked at Zhong Lixi, an old man in his prime, his long gray hair hanging down on the Taoist robe with the ink bamboo pattern, and the expression on his face seemed to be very tough.
"Elder Snowflake. Zhang Shui didn't say his name, and now is not the time to reveal his identity as a person with the surname of the Zhang family.
"It turned out to be the Snowflake Elder who came to the Cold Tower, which was really disrespectful. I don't know why the elders respect the history of the Dao, could it be that he is also fond of the history of the Dao?" Zhong Lixi was guessing why Zhang Shui came to Zhufang Pagoda.
"Not of much interest, but my nephew knows a lot about it. I came to the Taoist History Society today to listen to his speech at the Taoist History Conference. But I didn't tell the little nephew about this trip. Zhang Shui's words were half-truths and half-truths, and Zhong Lixi did not doubt it.
"It turned out that I came to see my nephew's speech, and Elder Snowflake, this uncle, still dotes on my nephew. Zhong Lixi smiled, "But Elder Xuehua looks so young, I don't know how young my nephew is this year." ”
"Nearly thirteen years old. ”
"It's quite young, but I'm afraid the elders are going to wait in vain today. Zhong Lixi smiled lightly.
"What do you say?" Zhang Shui was puzzled.
"Talisman masters under the age of eighteen participate in the Dao History Conference in an independent group to give speeches, and they will give speeches tomorrow. I'm afraid the elder won't see his nephew on the field today. ”
Zhang Shui said with a smile: "It seems that I really shouldn't hide it from my nephew, I didn't get any news from him, but I didn't expect me to pounce on me today." However, it is not a loss to be able to hear so many elders speak. ”
The list of speeches of the Dao History Society is very secret, and even the instrument system cannot get the list of speeches from the network of Zhufang Pagoda. So Zhang Shui can only come here to try his luck, but thanks to Zhong Lixi, at least he is sure that Zhang Haotian will appear tomorrow.
At this moment, Zhang Haotian is sitting in a private room and listening to the speech of the Taoist History Association with Le Zheng Tingyin, the opening performance is as always, the opening song and dance, Le Zheng Tingyin has long been tired of watching it, but Zhang Haotian on the side is watching it with relish.
Le Zheng Tingyin doesn't like a lot of people, and with the status of Qingcheng Sect, it is still very easy to get a private room for himself to watch the history of Taoism. Le Zheng Tingyin was lying on the stage a little bored, looking sideways at Zhang Haotian who was enjoying the performance with great interest, and really felt that Zhang Haotian was still a child.
After the song and dance of the opening chapter, the Taoist history meeting officially began, and the Taoist history meeting was held for a total of three days. The participants were divided into juvenile, youth, and senior groups.
On the first day, the speech of the youth group is the master of the youth group, and the speech of the master of the youth group on the first day will always have quite radical remarks, and it is reasonable to assign it to the first day, and the speeches of the youth group and the senior group can soothe these constant disputes.
The speech of the Dao History Club was too boring for the two talisman masters, and Cheng Lixiao had fallen asleep not long after the Dao History Club began, and Zhang Shui was still awake, but his attention was more on searching for Zhang Haotian's figure in the venue, but Le Zheng Tingyin's private room was not in his field of vision.
Although Zhang Shui was not interested in Taoist history, he had always been the first in the Taoist history class when he was still in Qingcheng Sect, and even Le Zheng Tingyin, who entered Qingcheng Sect two months later than him, was slightly inferior to him.
It is also for this reason that Le Zheng Tingyin has always been unaccustomed to Zhang Shui, and she can't figure out how a person who is not interested in Taoist history at all can be better than a person who loves Taoist history.
In the first three years of Qingcheng Sect, Le Zheng Tingyin always regarded Zhang Shui as a thorn in his side, and it was not until after the first time he entered the world to practice that the relationship between the two of them improved, and it was at that time that Le Zheng Tingyin called Zhang Shui a senior brother.
Zhang Shui didn't expect that it was his annoying senior sister Le Zheng who brought Zhang Haotian to participate in the Taoist History Meeting, and he didn't know that Li Xijian, who was far away in Qingcheng Sect, snickered when he thought of the scene of the two of them meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am He Qingshi, the talisman master of the Eastern Regions Huazhang Huyun Sect. Another young talisman came up and began his speech, but Zhang Shui just glanced at his face in a hurry, not paying attention.
"My speech is about the five Zhang families, and I will discuss the origin of the Zhang family's ascension to the five families. As soon as He Qingshi's words came out, Zhang Shui's attention was pulled over, he was once the Zhang family, how could he ignore the Zhang family.
However, as soon as the runic master of the unknown sect came out, the speech he made was actually about the origin of the Zhang family, Zhang Shui suddenly cared about this He Qingshi, the origin of the Zhang family was also something he wanted to figure out, and all the clues he explored were vague about the history of the origin of the Zhang family to destroy the demon.
As soon as Zhang Haotian in the private room heard the word Zhang family, he immediately cared, and the whole person lay on the stands, staring intently at He Qingshi on the podium. Le Zhengting glanced at Zhang Haotian, confused by his reaction, did he care about the Zhang family so much?
