In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Shui, the venue of the Zhufang Pagoda Taoist History Meeting, arrived at the Zhufang Pagoda venue early to wait for the Taoist History Meeting to begin.

The people in the VIP seats have arrived one after another, but there are fewer people than yesterday, after all, it is only the number of times the yellow-haired boy appeared, and most of the old guys are not very interested, and those who can come are those old people who like to see the vitality of young people.

So Zhang Shui, who was sitting among these old people, seemed abrupt, but obviously Zhang Shui didn't care.

"I'm sorry, Elder Snowflake, it looks like I'm going to sit next to you today. Cheng Lixiao appeared beside Zhang Shui coldly.

Zhang Shui was slightly surprised: "Why are you here? Didn't you say that Shi Hui was too boring and didn't want to come today?"

Cheng Lixiao scratched his head and looked very confused: "I was originally unwilling, but my father suddenly ran back and asked me to find him a seat in the Taoist History Society, and I had no choice but to come to Zhufang Pagoda temporarily to ask the tower master." It seems that I still can't hide today, and I hope you can find that kid today. ”

"Your father is coming?" Zhang Shui felt strange, why did he choose today's youth group?

"Hello, Elder Xuehua, the old man's name is Jing Xiao, and he is the father of this useless son. Jing Xiao walked out from behind Cheng Lixiao and introduced himself to Zhang Shui.

"The younger generation doesn't dare to be, Jing Lao, in terms of seniority, you are the elder. ”

"I'm a mortal, where do I get any qualifications?"

"This ......" Zhang Shui didn't expect Jing Xiao to be from the mortal world, but he quickly reacted, "Of course, it's the qualifications in life, and the younger generation is still inferior." ”

Jing Xiao smiled and said nothing, Zhang Shui directly led Jing Xiao to sit down in the seat next to him, and Cheng Lixiao, who was ignored by the two, had to sit quietly on the other side.

"I don't know why Jing Lao came to listen to the Taoist History Meeting today? If you are interested in Taoist history, why didn't you come yesterday?" Zhang Shui asked.

"I had a chance encounter this morning, which happened to be a little friend, which was very suitable for my eyes. I made an agreement with him to come and see his speech at the Taoist Society. ”

"I didn't expect the old gentleman to have a good conversation with the younger juniors. ”

Jing Xiao smiled: "It's impossible to say that we had a good conversation, but he said that he would wear the Yellow Dragon mask I made to cover his face, and make a speech under the pseudonym Long Haohao to disguise his identity." I wonder if he will keep his promise as he says. ”

When Long Haohao heard this name, Zhang Shui had a trace of doubt. But since Jing Xiao is talking about Xiaoyou, he still has to make a speech at the Taoist History Club, will it be Zhang Haotian?

"I don't know if this little friend's real name can tell me one or two?" "Just in case, Zhang Shui also asked Jing Xiao, he didn't expect that he would get such an answer.

"Now that Elder Xuehua has spoken, the old man can't hide it. That little friend called himself Qingcheng Haotian. ”

didn't expect Jing Xiao to meet Zhang Haotian's kid, Zhang Shui didn't expect Zhang Haotian to have a fake name like Long Haohao, but this can also confirm that Zhang Haotian will appear today.

"I didn't expect the little friend Jing Lao met today to be my nephew. "Zhang Shui is telling the truth, in terms of blood relationship, Zhang Haotian is really his nephew, and there is no fraud at all.

"Oh, I didn't expect it, it turned out that he was the elder's nephew. Jing Xiao was unexpected.

"I came to Duyunli to find him, and I haven't seen him for a while, and I can't contact him, so I can only wait here for him to appear. Zhang Shui explained.

"Isn't the elder going to go over there when it's over? Jing Xiao smiled and stretched out his hand and pointed to the curtain.

Zhang Shui smiled and said nothing, in order to find him after Zhang Haotian's speech, he naturally had to break into some places that he should not have entered.

At this time, Zhang Haotian sat in the lounge as Zhang Shui expected, unlike the youth group at that time, the participants in the youth group were all children who were about the same age as Zhang Haotian, and most of them were accompanied by their own division commanders and waited anxiously in the lounge for the time to play.

Only Zhang Haotian was alone in the lounge, wearing the mask of the Yellow Dragon, he was like an outlier here, and no one wanted to talk to him.

In order to give him a chance to hide his appearance and name, Le Zheng Tingyin is negotiating with the person who held the Taoist History Meeting.

The door of the lounge was opened, and Zhang Haotian immediately looked over, hoping that Le Zheng Tingyin had returned with good news. But I didn't expect that the person who came in was not Le Zhengtingyin, but another face that Zhang Haotian had just seen.

It was Qu Ting, who came in with a stinky face, and behind him was his son Qu Chi, who could only bully the weak. As soon as the two fathers and sons entered the door, they saw Zhang Haotian's eye-catching yellow dragon mask.

As soon as they saw the unfamiliar Huanglong mask appear in the lounge, the two fathers and sons were stunned at the door, and did not take another half step, it seems that they remember the incident that happened this morning too deeply, since Qu Chi can move freely now, presumably the effect of the nail has passed.

Qu Chi, who was originally stunned, suddenly walked towards Zhang Haotian with a hideous face, could it be that he dared to find himself to vent his anger when he saw that he was alone? After seeing Qu Chi's reckless action, Zhang Haotian thought so.

But Qu Chi couldn't walk in front of Zhang Haotian, Qu Ting grabbed him by the placket and pulled him back.

Qu Chi turned around and asked his father, "Why did you stop me?" He's alone, and I'm going to pay back this morning!"

Although Qu Chi had already lowered his voice, what he said was still heard by Zhang Haotian, but Zhang Haotian didn't react at all, he still sat honestly in place, he didn't need to make more trouble.

"Qu Chi, you are not allowed to give me another incident today! you can't let you do anything to people casually, and besides, he is not something we can provoke. ”

Qu Chi, a teenage hairy boy, didn't have any knowledge, but Qu Ting recognized that the robe on Zhang Haotian's body was the robe of the Qingcheng Sect, a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect, one of the six major sects in the Dao Realm, how could his little Wei Tianguan provoke it. Being able to wear a Qingcheng Taoist robe at such a grand event as the Taoist History Conference cannot be a fraud.

"Please don't stand in the way, excuse me. Le Zheng Tingyin's voice suddenly sounded from behind Qu Ting.

Because of Zhang Haotian's identity, Qu Ting, who had been frightened, was so frightened by Le Zheng Tingyin that he pulled Qu Chi to the side, and Le Zheng Tingyin walked past the two of them with a look of a foolish expression.

Zhang Haotian waved his hand to Le Zheng Tingyin, with a cheerful smile on his face, which is usually rare, but he couldn't see it with the Huanglong mask.

When Qu Ting saw Le Zheng Tingyin waving his hand, his heart was even weaker, it seemed that this was the teacher of the Huanglong Mask Boy, and he kept praying that Zhang Haotian would not complain to his teacher, otherwise he would not be able to bear it.

However, what Qu Ting was worried about, Zhang Haotian didn't think about it at all, he was not the kind of person who would repay him, what kind of grudge should be revenged, he knew it very well in his heart, at least people like Qu Ting's father and son, he didn't disdain revenge.

"Your request has been approved, but do you really need to hide your identity?" asked Le Zheng Tingyin puzzled.

Zhang Haotian nodded: "Yes, teacher." I don't want to cause trouble for the sect. ”

No matter what he said, he was also a member of the five families, and if the family determined that he was in the Qingcheng Sect, he would not be able to imagine the consequences.

Le Zheng Tingyin lowered his head and stared at Zhang Haotian, this strange request made Zhang Haotian's identity more and more concerned about her.

The Taoist history meeting began very quickly, and the speeches of the youth group were basically prepared under the guidance of the elders and teachers, and they were not very new, and the personal opinions of the speakers were much more naïve than those of senior historians, so it was no wonder that so few people came to watch the speeches of the youth group.

However, thanks to the small number of people, Cheng Lixiao was able to get the position from the master of Zhufang Pagoda so easily, otherwise Jing Xiao might not be able to come as promised.

It's all some cliché old things brought up, and the people sitting at the table obviously didn't have much interest, and soon it was Zhang Haotian's turn to play. When he came on the field with the Yellow Dragon Mask, it made the people on the field talk a lot, dispelling the previous dull atmosphere.

Sure enough, wearing the Yellow Dragon Mask is still too ostentatious? Listening to those noisy discussions, Zhang Haotian gradually became nervous.

"I didn't expect him to really come up, it seems that Elder Snowflake's nephew is very honest and didn't deceive me as an old man." Jing Xiao smiled.

finally saw Zhang Haotian, although he blocked his face, but when he saw Zhang Haotian shrinking and walking to the center of the stage, Zhang Shui could still see Zhang Haotian from his action habits.

"Ladies and gentlemen, hello everyone, I am Long Haohao from the Qingcheng Sect, for some personal reasons, I can only wear a mask to speak on stage, please forgive me. ”

Zhang Haotian's concerns were not unreasonable, Zhang Shui also thought that his approach was very appropriate, but he just hoped that no one among the demon slayer masters cared about him in particular, and he didn't have the idea that he had to see Zhang Haotian's true face. Maybe he should have left a disguise talisman for Zhang Haotian in the first place.

However, Zhang Shui's hopes may be in vain, and almost no one in the demon slayer in the clouds is interested in seeing Zhang Haotian's face under the mask, except for the paranoid Zhang Jie.

"The title of my speech today is 'The First Year of Enlightenment and the Dragon Spirit', and as we all know, the Spirit Monarch is the one who separates the Dao Realm from the Mortal Realm. The day that separated the two worlds was the beginning of the Enlightening Era, and the Enlightenment Day was specially established to commemorate that day, which was called the first year of the Enlightenment, the first year of the Enlightenment calendar.

"However, the description of Lingjun in the Dao History Opening Spirit Chapter has been interrupted at this point, and there is no mention of it after Lingjun separated the two realms. There is no text written whether the Lingjun is dead or alive, and then he goes there, it seems that he only exists before the separation of the two realms, and does not exist after the separation of the two realms.

"There is a history of more than 4,000 years from the first year of Kailing to the fall of the Evil Emperor, and the specific time is not recorded, but the historical records in these 4,000 years are surprisingly rare. Even in the Tibetan Pavilion where the Qingcheng sect collects ancient books, only a few books from the past 4,000 years can be found. But it is all about the myths and fables of the four spirits of the Dao realm, and there is no mention of half of the official history.

"The history of Taoism is a general historiography book in the Taoist world, but what is its content? After the opening of the spiritual chapter, there is the rebellion of the evil emperor, and there is a blank for four thousand years in the middle.

Of course, this speech is not intended to discuss the history of these 4,000 years, and the theme of this speech is still the relationship between the Kailing and the dragon spirit.

"Now the only dragon spirit that is recognized by the world as still alive, the Yellow Dragon, is still active in the Southern Regions and the Sea, and it is the dragon spirit engraved on the mask on my face, but no one can get close to him. From the era of the spirit to the present more than 10,000 years, there is only one dragon spirit that can be found active.

"Then let's see how many records of dragon spirits are in the historical records of the period of the Evil Emperor's Rebellion? There are very few, only ten records of dragon spirits, and these ten dragons are all different races, and six of them are just fables that are difficult to verify the authenticity, and it is not certain whether they have real prototypes.

"But we can still tell from this that six thousand years ago, the number of dragon spirits was very small. And what was the dragon spirit like before the first year of Kailing? There are almost no traces left before the first year of Kailing, and no one knows what the history was like before that. But there is a sentence in the Dao History Enlightenment Chapter that says so.

"'All things are primates, demons and beasts, and all are honored by dragons. Everywhere in the world, there are dragon marks everywhere. The dragon is proud of the world, and there are no six people. ’

I believe that this sentence should not be familiar to all the elders here. Therefore, everyone should know very well that the dragon spirit is an extremely prosperous family in the opening spirit chapter, they are distributed in all corners of the heaven and earth, and traces of the dragon spirit's activities can be found in any place.

"But in the four thousand years from the first year of the founding of the spirit to the rebellion of the evil emperor, there are only ten dragon spirits left in the record, and only four are exactly recorded.

"What does this mean? I think everyone should be very clear, the dragon spirit fell rapidly in the four thousand years from the opening of the spirit to the rebellion of the evil emperor, according to the existing historical data, it can only be inferred that the spirit monarch opened the spirit, and the separation of the two realms is the real reason for the fall of the dragon spirit.

"I had hoped to uncover more of the reasons why the Kailing caused the fall of the dragon spirit, but the existing historical materials no longer provide more clues for us to deduce and restore the history. However, I believe that one day, people will unearth the truth buried 10,000 years ago. This concludes my remarks, thank you. ”

Zhang Haotian's speech did not have a very solid historical basis, and the records of the 4,000 years were too few to find real and powerful evidence.

However, his bold hypothesis and unique scrutiny convinced the old guys below, the level of Taoist history research may not be high, but compared with his peers, Zhang Haotian's performance tonight is much more outstanding, because the content of his speech will not be dabbled in by many people at all, and the rarity of the subject matter makes him win the applause of the audience, which is more enthusiastic than any of his peers before.

In the applause of the audience, Zhang Jue hid in the dark angrily, as if there was something to do.

And Zhang Shui, who was in the VIP seat, also stood up and prepared to leave the VIP seat. Jing Xiao and Cheng Lixiao, father and son, were slightly puzzled when they saw it.

"Elder, this is ......"

"Didn't I say that there was something important to find my nephew. Zhang Shui smiled slightly.

After leaving these words, Zhang Shui left the VIP seat, and the two fathers and sons didn't know what method Zhang Shui planned to use to enter the area where unrelated personnel of the Taoist History Society refused to enter.

After Zhang Haotian on the stage bowed and thanked everyone, he retreated from the stage and disappeared behind the scenes.

After the stage, the originally empty hall was divided into winding passages with a crimson curtain, leading to different places, while Zhang Haotian walked down the road to the lounge, and just after entering the passage bordered by the red curtain, the next contestant passed by him.

There were surprisingly few people on the way back to the lounge, and when he just came over, Zhang Haotian felt so. But that's fine, you can talk to the clouds in the shadows.

"In the clouds, are you still there?"

"Of course, I don't understand what you mean by what you say, and why there are so many people applauding. "It's clear that you can't experience the joy of studying history in the clouds.

Zhang Haotian just smiled when he heard this, and did not explain much: "There will always be people who are interested." ”

Then Zhang Haotian's expression became worried, but he couldn't see it with a mask: "Yunli, what are you going to do after I leave?"

There was no sound in the clouds, and it was clear that she hadn't thought it through.

"After tomorrow, I will leave Duyunli and return to Qingcheng Sect. And the people of the hunting party will continue to hunt you down, if you don't want to find a way to solve it......"

"Then can I follow you back to that sect?" Yun Li asked hesitantly.

If he could take Yunli out of this dangerous place where demon slayers were rampant, Zhang Haotian would definitely do so without hesitation, but he couldn't.

He always remembered what Zhang Shui had told him, if the demon spirit was not born of plants and trees, it would be the lifeblood of nature. Now, Zhang Haotian has understood the meaning of this sentence.

The larger the things involved in the demon spirit's body, the more extensive the impact of its demise will be. A Heavenly Dao Mountain Demon like Shi Lingli, once he dies, the entire Heavenly Dao Mountain will not be able to maintain its vitality.

And Yunli is a bamboo demon, it stands to reason that it is impossible to have such a big impact, but when Zhang Haotian heard the name of Yunli, he didn't dare to think so. It has the same name as Duyunli, and this is a thorough bamboo city, I'm afraid that Yunli is not a simple bamboo demon, but a demon spirit born from the spirit of the entire bamboo city.

When Zhang Haotian was in Zouma Village, he would often see Shi Lingli, who came to teach his son Feng Wang Zhao Fu Technique, hurried back to Tiandao Mountain, and would not even leave dinner to eat.

In retrospect, it should be because as a Heavenly Dao Mountain Demon, you can't leave Tiandao Mountain for too long, otherwise it will have any impact on Tiandao Mountain, but it won't be as serious as the impact after death.

But if you leave forever, I'm afraid it's not much different from death.

So Zhang Haotian can't take Yunli away from Duyunli, she must stay here, and the life in Yunli is the life in Duyun.
