Chapter 150: Blood Peak Mother Crystal Transaction
"Forget it, it doesn't matter who comes, just bring the reward anyway. He Qingshi laughed greedily, but it was a pity that Zhang Haotian couldn't see his face, otherwise he would definitely think he was particularly disgusting.
"I listened to the speech just now, and I did give a speech on the content that my grandfather explained, and I believe that my grandfather will be satisfied. ”
Is the content of his speech driven by the Zhang family? No wonder the big demon spirit in his speech is completely different from what the teacher said, Zhang Haotian can also be sure of one thing, the reason why the demon spirit in the Dao realm is generally regarded as an evil spirit is inseparable from the rumors that the Zhang family has been spreading in the Dao realm.
No, Zhang Haotian thought about it carefully and felt that it was wrong, it was the creed of the Zhang family that the demon spirit must be removed, maybe the Zhang family did not regard this as a false rumor at all.
He Qingshi impatiently stretched out his hand to Zhang Jie: "Don't talk nonsense, give me the mother crystal!"
Zhang Jue looked at He Qingshi, who was standing much taller than him, and snorted coldly: "Isn't it the Blood Peak Mother Crystal?"
Zhang Jue impatiently took out a thumb-sized Blood Peak Mother Crystal from the storage talisman on his body, and handed it to He Qingshi with great disgust, He Qingshi grabbed the Blood Peak Mother Crystal and looked at it greedily in front of him.
The Blood Peak Mother Crystal is a crystal generated from the inside of the Blood Peak Ore, and it is possible to find a small Blood Peak Mother Crystal in the ore by mining a large amount of Blood Peak Ore, the Blood Peak Mother Crystal is not the same as the Blood Peak Stone, and cannot be used for blood sacrifice, but because of its medicinal value and scarcity, it is not much more valuable than the cheap Blood Peak Stone.
The Zhang family generally sends the mined Blood Peak Mother Crystal to auction, and by auctioning the Blood Peak Mother Crystal, the Zhang family has a lot of income.
Even if it is a person like Zhang Jie, he sneered when he saw He Qingshi, who was greedy for money, he never cared about wealth in the Zhang family, and his status in the Zhang family was what he valued the most, no matter what, he was also the grandson of the four elders.
After handing over the Blood Peak Mother Crystal to He Qingshi, Zhang Jue left the rest room of the youth group with a gloomy face, obviously not very satisfied with the conversation just now, and there was only He Qingshi left here, and Zhang Haotian hiding behind another door.
Originally, Zhang Haotian just didn't believe that the demon spirit was an evil creature, but now after he saw this scene, he began to feel disgusted with the Zhang family's behavior, not only to kill the demon spirit, but also to use various ways to discredit the demon spirit, so that the demon spirit became the existence of the Dao Realm talisman master that everyone feared and drove, and this evil behavior has not lasted for more than 2,000 years.
There was some noise outside the door, and it seemed that He Qingshi had also left the lounge, so that only Zhang Haotian and the clouds in his robe were left in the lounge.
Zhang Haotian, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat down against the edge of the door, and he began to think back to the transaction he had just witnessed, as well as He Qingshi's speech. He still had a doubt, that is, when He Qingshi was talking about the blood demon in his speech, a whisper suddenly appeared in the cloud, "The blood demon is not dead, it is still alive", which made him very concerned.
"In the clouds, in the clouds. Zhang Haotian whispered twice.
"What's wrong? Yunli quickly responded to Zhang Haotian, there was no one else here, and she didn't have to care about her voice being exposed.
"What did you mean by the phrase 'the blood demon is not dead, it is still alive' when you gave your speech just now?"
"I don't know very well, it's just that when I was just born, there was a very gentle and gentle voice telling me to be careful of the blood demon and the Zhang family's demon exterminator. I've always remembered it. ”
Zhang Haotian then remembered that Yunli was only eight years old, and he was a demon spirit younger than him, how could she know so much about the things of three thousand years ago, but the voice she said must have been clear or something. Zhang Haotian felt strongly.
"Is there any problem?" Seeing that Zhang Haotian had been silent, Yun Li asked suspiciously.
"No, it's fine. Let's go back first while there's no one around, my teacher is probably in a hurry. Zhang Haotian shook his head, stood up and left the lounge of the youth group, and returned to the box of Le Zheng Tingyin, and the uneasiness of the first day of the Dao History Club also ended here.
At the end of the first day of the Taoist History Meeting, Zhang Shui failed to find Zhang Haotian after all, and Zhang Haotian also returned to the hotel to rest.
However, after Zhang Haotian returned to the hotel, he couldn't relax his vigilance like he did yesterday, the search scope of the demon slayer has been expanded to this hotel, and the cloud can only avoid the detection of the demon slayer by hiding in the shadow of the living beings, so Zhang Haotian has been letting the cloud hide in his shadow, and the demon slayer did not find any clues when he entered the room to search.
In the end, what made Zhang Haotian a little happy was that when the demon slayer searched his room, he obviously saw from his Dao robe that he was a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect, so his attitude was not bad, but he was a little low.
And when the demon slayer left, Teacher Le Zheng, who was not used to them, also used an unknown little talisman to trick a demon slayer, Zhang Haotian couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.
After that, Zhang Haotian went to bed early, after all, he still has to give a speech on stage tomorrow, and he has to recuperate. However, he couldn't just extinguish the lights, and if there was no shadow, he couldn't hide in the clouds, and the demon slayer's detector would react again, thus revealing the whereabouts of the clouds.
Zhang Haotian is not used to falling asleep in such a bright state, and he can't sleep well after tossing and turning in bed all the time, but he has more and more thoughts, thinking not only about tomorrow's speech, but also about He Qingshi's speech today, disturbing each other, and his mind is messy.
He Qingshi's speech was the product of a deal with the Zhang family, but it was nothing more than propaganda for the Zhang family to maintain their legitimate behavior of exterminating demons. However, the story is not completely apocryphal, those events that can be referred to from the classics cannot be overturned, and from the analysis of the words in the clouds, the blood demon exists, and it is very likely that it is still alive.
But when Yunli mentions the blood demon, he will look at it as an object of vigilance, if the blood demon is really threatening, and it is really the culprit that caused the spirit annihilation, then it will conflict with the demon spirit that Teacher Sanshui once told them.
The past that he can know now is not necessarily the true face, Le Zheng Tingyin also said this when teaching him Taoist history, history is not necessarily true, or there are some key points missing, so it is misunderstood by future generations, and those who study history are exploring the true face of the dust of the past.
So He Qingshi's speech, Teacher Sanshui's proposition, and the words in the clouds, which side is the most real, and what is buried behind the way of destroying demons that has taken root in the Zhang family for three thousand years.
Not for anyone, but for a truth, when Zhang Haotian unconsciously thought about these events, he had actually buried the obsession of revealing the true face of the Zhang family in the depths of his heart, but he fell asleep without realizing it.
......
The speech of the youth group of the Taoist History Society was arranged in the afternoon, and the time in the morning was vacated, and both Yunli and Zhang Haotian wanted to go out to relax, so he ran to Le Zheng Tingyin's room early in the morning and knocked on Le Zheng Tingyin's door.
"What's wrong?" Le Zhengting opened the door slowly, looking sleepy-eyed.
"Teacher, can I go to Duyun in my spare time in the morning? Zhang Haotian pleaded with Le Zheng Tingyin weakly, hoping that she could agree. In the past, this attitude of pleading with the father at home usually worked.
Le Zhengting, who didn't seem to have woken up yet, nodded lazily: "Yes, just remember to come back and participate in the Taoist History Meeting." Be careful, if something happens, I won't be able to help you in the first place. ”
"It's okay, I can take care of myself. "It's not that I haven't tried to sneak out alone, the last time I was with Er Yan, but this time I was in my shadow with Yunli, Zhang Haotian couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth when he thought about it.
However, when Zhang Haotian thought of the demon slayer masters who came and went on the street, he felt a little troublesome, and it would be bad if Zhang Jue recognized him.
"By the way, Teacher Le Zheng, can I wear a mask when I give a speech at the Taoist History Society?" Zhang Haotian asked Le Zheng Tingyin again.
This strange question made Le Zheng Tingyin completely sleepy, and looked at Zhang Haotian suspiciously, since yesterday, some of Zhang Haotian's actions have made Le Zheng Tingyin notice something strange, and now he asked if he could bring a mask to the Taoist History Meeting, Le Zheng Tingyin wanted to see what Zhang Haotian, who was usually in peace, planned to do.
"The requirements of the Dao History Society do not say that you can't wear a mask, whether you wear a mask or not, you want to give a speech by Haotian of the Qingcheng Sect, so I don't think there is a problem. Le Zheng Tingyin replied to Zhang Haotian.
After getting Le Zheng Tingyin's affirmation, Zhang Haotian seemed to be relieved, and this scene of Le Zheng Tingyin was naturally in his eyes.
"That's good, I'll go out first. Teacher Lezheng. ”
Zhang Haotian happily waved goodbye to Le Zheng Tingyin and ran down the hotel. This running made a loud noise on the floor of the hotel made of ink-seeping bamboo, and the scolding of the innkeeper and Zhang Haotian's apology immediately came downstairs, Le Zhengtingyin leaned against the door and couldn't help laughing, it's really a child.
As soon as he got out of the door of the hotel, Zhang Haotian looked at the streets on both sides, one side leading to the shore and the other side leading to the Zhufang Tower.
"Yunli, do you know where to buy masks?" Zhang Haotian asked Yunli, after all, she was born in Duyunli, and she was more familiar with every street here than he did.
"There are many mask stalls on Yundu 9th Street, go there and see it, there should be something you like. Yunli proposed.
"You lead the way. ”
Zhang Haotian chose to let Yunli lead the way, and Yunli let him walk on some remote paths, but it was also a fresh experience, walking in some corners that was not easy, and he could see more of the side of Duyunli.
Behind the bamboo buildings in the countless clouds, the breath of life is all hidden in it, you can see its brilliance on the surface, but you don't feel that someone is living an ordinary life, only by walking the path in the clouds, you can see the clothes that are dried in the narrow space between the buildings, that is the ordinary life revealed in the clouds, and there is a clear difference from the hustle and bustle outside.
Yunli took Zhang Haotian to take a shortcut, and Yundu Ninth Street, which was supposed to be on the other side of Duyunli, arrived soon. Zhang Haotian walked out of the narrow passage, Yundu Ninth Street came into his eyes, and what came into his eyes was a dazzling array of mask stalls, Zhang Haotian couldn't help but walk past one mask stall after another.
He found that the masks sold by each mask stall had different themes, including historical figures, flying insects and beasts, beast spirits, and phantom spirits.
Take the stall of the phantom mask in front of him as an example, there are nine-tailed fox masks, phoenix masks, and Dijiang masks, all of which are different and strange. Sometimes Zhang Haotian had a hard time believing that there really were such strange phantoms in this Dao Realm, after all, their movements were even rarer than those of beast spirits.
Only by touching these masks carved according to legends, Zhang Haotian felt a trace of them, they were hidden in the deep wilderness, spreading in the world, Zhang Haotian looked at these masks, and his hand unconsciously stretched out to one of the nine-tailed fox masks.
"Did the little guest officer take a fancy to this nine-tailed fox face?" A man's smiling face suddenly popped out from behind the mask, which startled Zhang Haotian and shrank back.
