Chapter 98: Northern Nostalgia Away from the Fire Gate
The two still cared more about Zhang Xiaoshan's words, so they shut up one after another, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Zhang Yunji coughed dryly, and said first: "Master, since you have something important, I won't keep you any longer, but please bother to think about it on the way, we are both children of the Zhang family, but I just hope that the family can change in time and give the people below a chance!"
Zhang Xiaoshan just nodded, but did not answer, before he saw his master, he would never show his heart at will, let all parties fight for him.
Seeing this, Bei Huaixuan immediately pulled Zhang Xiaoshan to board the bronze crow, ignoring the crowd below, and controlled the copper crow to break through the air.
Zhang Yunji looked at the copper crow in the distance, and immediately ordered: "Immediately use the sound transmission mirror to notify the family, just say that Zhang Xiaoshan is back, let the fifth elder Taishang and her old man prepare in advance!" He sighed again: "The Zhang family is not the Zhang family of one sect, but everyone's, and we are doing this for the family's tomorrow!"
The speed of the copper crow is extremely fast, and it has swept through several large villages in an instant, among which the houses are magnificent, quite the majestic style of the Northland!
Youzhou is located in the north, the climate is cold, coupled with the complex terrain, so people often live more concentrated, not like the Central Plains, has been developed for a long time, enjoyed peace for a long time, four or five families can become a village.
"Senior Beihuai, you were too calm just now!" Zhang Xiaoshan sat on the bronze crow and blamed, Bei Huaixuan should also have a lifespan of more than a hundred years, why is his temper still so irritable, and a few innocuous words provoked Bei Huaixuan to be furious.
"You kid is talking cool, you are not in the clan during this time, of course I don't know how many dirty methods these despicable villains have used in order to fight for the power of the family!" Bei Huaixuan sighed.
How could Zhang Xiaoshan not understand, just now when he saw the quarrel, he understood the urgency of the matter, now he has only contacted the branch disciples of the Zhang family, and after a while, he will be able to see the disciples of the outer sect of the Zhang family, and the strength of those people is also extremely strong, but I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to get along.
"Senior Beihuai, you..." Zhang Xiaoshan hesitated for a moment, and continued: "You are also an elder of the outer sect, why don't you speak for the children of the outer sect, but instead support the main sect?" This sentence has been held in his heart for a long time, and it is better to be honest at this moment.
"Even you think so!" Bei Huaixuan said sadly: "I was originally a poor child, fortunately the teacher did not give up, accepted as a disciple, I can penetrate the avenue, achieve today's cultivation, I only recognize the teacher in my life, everything else has nothing to do with me!"
"Who is your teacher?" Zhang Xiaoshan asked, the one who can teach a master like Bei Huaixuan must also be a first-class master in the family.
"My teacher is Zhang Beixuan!" Bei Huaixuan respectfully made a bow to the teacher.
This name is still a little unfamiliar to Zhang Xiaoshan, and no one in the family has ever called this name. For example, his name in the family tree is Zhang Qiyu, but he has excellent talent since he was a child, and he is called Xiaoshan by his teacher.
This Zhang Beixuan's name connotes the extreme fire of the northern realm, and he should also be a great monk of the fire system.
Bei Huaixuan saw Zhang Xiaoshan's doubts, and explained directly: "The teacher also has a law name called Lihuo Zhenren, now you know, right?"
Lihuo Zhenren, the founder of the Zhang family's thousand-year-old foundation, and also the first person of the Zhang family to ascend to the immortal realm, has many disciples, many disciples are still alive after hundreds of years, all of them are high-ranking and powerful people in the Zhang family, I can't imagine that this Bei Huaixuan is also a disciple of Lihuo Zhenren. The ranking of Lihuo Zhenren is still enshrined in the main hall of the Golden Jade Palace, enjoying incense day and night, but there is no record in the name of Lihuo Zhenren's family, so Zhang Xiaoshan doesn't know.
"In this way, I want to call you a master!" Zhang Xiaoshan was surprised, and he turned to say: "However, it is recorded in the family that the ancestor of Lihuo Zhenren has received a total of 12 disciples in his life, and there are 24 registered disciples, and the names of these disciples are all recorded in detail in the family classics, but there is no you in it?"
"It's just because I made a big mistake and was expelled from the division a long time ago, so I don't use my former name. Later, I made a big mistake in my outer cultivation and almost fell, but it was the teacher who rescued me and sent me to the Xuanyin Mountains in the extreme north, where I meditated in a piece of ice for 800 years before I achieved my current cultivation. After I finished the retreat, I immediately returned to the family to repay the kindness, only to know that the teacher had ascended to the fairy realm for more than 600 years, and most of my brothers and sisters were gone, so I hid my identity and served the family again as an outer elder!"
Only then did Zhang Xiaoshan know that this Bei Huaixuan was just his pseudonym, and he was curious: "Senior, what is your real name?"
"The things of the past are like a cloud of smoke, remember what he did! I just saw the current situation of the Zhang family, and I was a little anxious!" Bei Huaixuan said sadly.
He was born with an impatient temperament and was jealous and hateful, and it was precisely because of his straightforward personality that he caused all kinds of great disasters! With his current cultivation, he still couldn't control his temper, but he could be regarded as a true temperament.
However, his current identity is only a guest outer door elder, and his status is insufficient compared to other outer door elders. It's not easy for him to reveal his true identity, not to mention that even if he confesses, few people will admit the truth he said, which involves too many things and power changes. Therefore, he usually acts like an idle cloud and a wild crane, and rarely participates in the affairs of the family, but fortunately, his strength is profound, and the family also relies on him a lot, which has accumulated some prestige. However, with these modest prestige, there is really nothing that can be done in this crisis.
The three seizures of power seem to be due to Zhang Daocheng's injury, which caused the instability of the power center, but in essence, it is the result of hundreds of years of accumulation of the Zhang family from generation to generation.
Ordinary mortal families, there are still clan disputes, let alone the powerful Xiuzhen family!
As long as the cultivation reaches the Qi refining period, you can have a hundred years of life, and the foundation building period is increased to about two hundred years, if the advanced Jindan period is doubled to five hundred years, the Zhang family has thousands of monks in the Jindan period alone, these people occupy high positions, and live a long life, and over the years, they have accumulated powerful forces, and the three forces represented behind them, after thousands of years, the accumulated power has already reached the critical point, and when the Sima family launched a war, all kinds of opportunities converged, which led to the current situation.
Zhang Xiaoshan finally understood why Bei Huaixuan would use the cultivation of the Tribulation Period, but he was willing to be a guest elder in the Zhang family, and with his cultivation, he could be a leisurely scattered immortal or, like the five saints, to be a soil emperor that no one wanted to provoke. Now everything is reasonable, this Bei Huaixuan has long been indifferent to fame and fortune, and just wants to repay his mentor before ascending. Therefore, he will not let the Zhang family mess up, and will definitely do his best.
"Senior Beihuai, if according to what you said, the second elder Taishang and the fifth elder Taishang in the family are all your senior brothers, why don't you go to them to discuss, who dares not to listen to them?"
"Hmph! Hugh wants to mention those two, if they hadn't been in the way, there would be today's thing!" Bei Huaixuan snorted coldly.
Zhang Xiaoshan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that there was the highest level in the family behind this matter, no wonder things would develop to the current situation.
The second elder of the family is the fifth disciple of Lihuo Zhenren, his own cultivation talent is mediocre, after taking countless pills, he reached the tribulation period four hundred years ago, but he failed to cross the heaven and earth thunder tribulation, lost his body, and could only possess his soul on the spiritual weapon, and was forced to become a scattered immortal. Perhaps it is precisely because of his inability to achieve something in the way of heaven and earth, that he is obsessed with refining tools and the power in the family, and for hundreds of years, he has been in charge of the Zhang family's foreign trade and refining tools, and has accumulated a large number of contacts. And he has a wide range of disciples, and his reputation in the family is only higher than Zhang Daocheng, only because Zhang Daocheng himself is extremely strong, and he has the best spiritual weapon that the head of the Zhang family can hold, so he can suppress his people.
As the youngest disciple of Lihuo Zhenren, the Fifth Elder Taishang was his youngest daughter, and he was also deeply favored by him, and gave him several powerful high-grade spiritual weapons and innate magic weapons, so although his own realm was not high, his strength was extremely strong, and he barely reached the tribulation period three hundred years ago. Because she is a woman, she is not allowed to inherit the position of the head of the family, and can only develop as a side branch, it is not difficult to imagine that the representative who supports it must be the side branch of the Zhang family.
It turned out that the situation was so bad, Zhang Xiaoshan found that this home was really difficult to go back to!
However, the three were originally in a corner, and no one could take advantage, and now they are the weight to change the balance, and the three will definitely try their best to fight for themselves!
"Hmph, they're moving fast enough!" Bei Huaixuan snorted coldly.
Zhang Xiaoshan stared ahead, and found that there were shadows in the rain and fog, and two huge warships appeared, which were even better than the Yang family.
As the warship got closer, you could clearly see the Zhangjia flame flag fluttering on the warship, and dozens of monks wearing battle armor were neatly arranged on the deck of the warship. More than a dozen middle-aged monks stood at the bow of the ship with their hands in their hands!
"These are the children of the outer gate! The person at the head is He Tianwu, the lord of Dingyuan Mansion, and at the same time responsible for the position of the head furnace protector of the Zhangjia Refining Hall!" He knew that Zhang Xiaoshan was not familiar with many people in the family.
In fact, Zhang Xiaoshan has really come into contact with the name He Tianwu, but he didn't expect to see it today, at the end of the hilt of his sword Sunset, the name of He Tianwu is engraved, which means that Sunset is refined by He Tianwu, and he can refine a medium-grade spiritual weapon, which can already be said to be a refining master. If He Tianwu can serve as the protector of the Refining Weapon Hall, he must be a refining master!
It's just that these children of the outer sect, why are they waiting for them here, do they also have other plans? Zhang Xiaoshan thought.
