Chapter 18: Bingchen Courtyard

Previous Chapter

Along the way, the two chatted with each other, and Zhang Zhuo was obviously a little absent-minded. Because just now he learned from Zheng Wen's words that there is only one guest alchemist in the Danfang today-Xie Danshi.

This Xie Danshi's experience is also quite legendary, when he was a child, he worshiped under the Heavenly Master and became a little Taoist boy, even the current head of the Heavenly Master Zhang Dunfu had to call him a senior brother, but later, for some reason, he angered the Old Heavenly Master and was expelled from the division.

After the Heavenly Master was feathered, the Alchemy Hall became more and more declining, and there was even a situation of lack of success, but Xie Danshi became famous in one fell swoop and became one of the few Dan Masters in the Thirty-six Cave Heavens.

At the suggestion of the Council of Elders, the head of the Heavenly Master had to personally invite Xie Danshi to come back and sit in the Danfang, Xie Danshi didn't care about his previous suspicions, and after he came back, he became the chief guest Danshi, and supported the Dan Dao line of the Heavenly Master's Mansion with the strength of one person.

"Since he is the senior brother of the head Heavenly Master, presumably the things in the quiet room are also related to him, maybe this is the reason why my Heavenly Master's blood throbs."

Anyway, Zhang Zhuo crossed over here to complete the task of the ancestral master, as long as it has nothing to do with this matter, he doesn't want to pay too much attention to it, after all, living in this world, who doesn't have a few secrets?

On his trip to the Danfang, he not only obtained a half-dead Four Spiritual Divine Fire, but also obtained divine consciousness by chance, which was also worth the trip.

Zhang Zhuo originally thought that after having divine sense, it would be much easier to find Xu Baozheng, but who knew from Zheng Wen that Ye Yunjiao had left the Heavenly Master's Mansion with a mortal half a month ago.

Zhang Zhuo guessed that Ye Yunjiao took Xu Baozheng out, mostly because of himself, and now that he has entered the Heavenly Master's Mansion, he will come to the door sooner or later.

The soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and he didn't believe how big a wave this Ye Yunjiao could make.

"Senior brother, we've arrived." Zheng Wen took Zhang Zhuo around in a community of alchemy hall courtyards, and soon stopped in front of an independent small courtyard.

Zhang Zhuo was already mentally prepared to live in a miscellaneous room, but he didn't expect Steward Wang to arrange such an excellent place for him to live.

In front of me is a two-hall independent courtyard. In the center of the courtyard is a tall mansion gate, above which hangs a plaque with the word "Bingchen".

Entering the door of the house, there is a carved shadow wall, and a path made of stones leads diagonally to the hanging flower arch on the side. Stepping through the arch of hanging flowers, you will be greeted by an antique courtyard dotted with a few mountain stones.

In front of the courtyard is the slightly tall main hall, and on the left is a verandah, which leads from the pendulum arch to the east wing. On the right is a west wing room with wooden rafters and gray tiles, with green bamboo on both sides, which is more quiet. There is a well in the center of the courtyard, and there is a golden silk jujube tree with some strange flowers and plants by the well, and the fruit has been hung on the tree, and the growth is gratifying.

"What a green hall and a house, the world is cool!"

Zhang Zhuo likes it from the bottom of his heart, this is already a mansion that he couldn't yearn for in the past. It would be nice if I could take my father Zhang Daochang here to retire.

His parents divorced when he was a child, and his mother disliked Zhang Daochang for playing some tricks all day long, and after he left home when he was three years old, he never came back.

Speaking from the heart, Zhang Zhuo is still quite grateful to Zhang Daochang, who has been a father and a mother for more than ten years, and now he doesn't say goodbye, and he always has some memories in his heart.

In fact, what he often thinks of is the lingering image in his mind.

"It's just...... You okay? Do you remember the former mountain alliance and sea oath? Are you still waiting for me? ”

Zhang Zhuo knew that maybe he would never get an answer again in this life.

"It's okay, it's okay......"

Zhang Zhuo looked back, and his face was suddenly full of black lines, and he was disappointed.

"Senior Brother Zheng, what are you 'okay' with?"

"Fortunately, the junior brother likes it, but I'm still worried that Bingchen is located in a remote area, and the junior brother will be dissatisfied."

Zheng Wen looked sincere and continued:

"In the past few days, the junior brother has a good rest, recuperates his body, and when there are arrangements for the junior brother in the hall, I will come and tell you immediately."

Sending Zheng Wen away, Zhang Zhuo immediately moved the purple bamboo recliner thrown in the corner to the courtyard, leaning against the well with his back and facing the jujube tree, so that when he lay down in his spare time, he could see the golden silk jujube hanging on the branches, which was quite pleasant.

But now is not the time for him to rest, he has to plan and arrange the three rooms here briefly.

Needless to say, the main hall is naturally used for meeting guests, or for refreshments on a regular basis. Of course, he also knew that except for Steward Wang and Zheng Wen, he didn't know anyone in this Heavenly Master's Mansion, and no one would come here at all.

As for the east and west wings, he also had arrangements in mind.

The east wing has better sunlight and can be used as a living room. After all, his cultivation is still low now, and he can't sleep endlessly. Just now that he used his divine sense a little more along the way, he faintly felt a little mentally exhausted, and he wanted to sleep well.

The West Wing, although the place is not large, is more quiet and elegant. What's more, after Zhang Zhuo's divine sense observed, he found that the grass, trees and green bamboos near the west wing were obviously better than those in other places, and they must be the places where the earth qi is rising. Therefore, the West Wing is the best choice for future retreats.

However, this is not enough.

The quiet room that Fang Cai Danfang saw, although he was not sure whether the owner was Xie Danshi, gave Zhang Zhuo a lot of inspiration.

Ever since he had his divine sense, Zhang Zhuo realized that under the noses of high-ranking monks, there was no way to hide secrets, and sometimes it was not that others didn't know about it, but that others disdained to pay attention to it.

But now, not only does he have important things to do, but he also has a lot of involvement with Danfang, which requires him to be more careful.

In the final analysis, Zhang Zhuo fell in love with the formation laid out in the quiet room. If there is a formation to protect him, the safety of his retreat cultivation will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

"Blackie, come out."

The little black cat has a quirk, as long as it is a place with a lot of people, it will hide, even if Zhang Zhuo has a sense now, he can't detect it. When there was no one, he would swagger out and brush up on his sense of existence, completely ignoring what Zhang Zhuo was doing at the time, which made him very speechless.

With a gesture of raising his hand, Zhang Zhuo took out three pearls from the cat's eye space, to be exact, it would be more appropriate to call them runic beads at this time—this was the result of Zhang Zhuo's retreat in the Luxi River Water Mansion.

These three rune beads are made by Zhang Zhuo with the flesh and blood left by the clam demon in the clam shell, after dozens of failures, whether it is the drawing method of the rune or the breath on it, it is the same root and the same origin, and finally got a set of second-grade rune beads. It's a pity that the mussel shell is too huge, and Zhang Zhuo's cultivation can't be refined into a mother talisman at all, so he can only refine a small part of it slightly, and finally work with Xiao Hei to collect the mussel shell into the cat's eye space.

Since he couldn't refine the mussel shell, he couldn't make the mother rune bead, let alone collect it into his body to nourish it, so he couldn't complete the production of the rune spirit array in the end.

What made Zhang Zhuo a little ridiculous was that he originally chose the clam shell and pearl as the child and mother talisman, precisely because the natural induction between the two could replace the divine sense imprint in some way and make up for his lack of divine sense.

But now that he has divine sense, on the contrary, the clam shell cannot be refined because his cultivation is too low, and it is really unpredictable.

Now for Zhang Zhuo, he only needs to choose another pearl, mark it with a divine sense mark to make a mother rune bead, and then fill in the divine sense mark on those three sub-rune beads, and he can officially complete the rune spirit array.

But after Zhang Zhuo saw the double formation in the quiet room, a new thought was born in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it.

He wanted to add three more sub-rune beads, and upgrade the imaginary three-talent rune spirit array to the three-light three-talent array, and now that he had the help of his divine sense, it should not be difficult to refine the three more sub-rune beads.

The three talents, the heavens, the earth and the people. The three larger sub-rune beads are respectively guarding the three sides of heaven, earth and man, the heavenly position is clear and lofty, the status is calm and upright, the position is flexible and changeable, the heaven, earth and man cooperate with each other, can attack and defend, can advance or retreat.

The Three Lights, the Sun, the Moon and the Stars. The three smaller sub-rune beads are hidden in the sun, moon, and stars respectively, turning reality into fiction, or guiding, or covering, or disrupting in wartime, and can also play a role in confusing and concealing, shielding divine consciousness, and monitoring and early warning in peacetime.

Although this array cannot be compared with the formation in the quiet room in terms of power, the rune spirit array is convenient to arrange and the formation changes quickly, the key is that it can be used by Zhang Zhuo right now, which can greatly enhance his strength.

Rao is he is a little tired now, but the expectation of this three-light and three-talent array made him secretly determined, saying that he would see this formation today and then go to rest.
