Towering and continuous, vast and ethereal.

The Xuanfa Mountains appeared in front of Zhou Qing's eyes again.

At this time, it was already night, but the mountains of Xuanfa were even more dazzling, a little light, full of colors, like a fairyland.

went to ambush Zhang Xinkong early in the morning, and then went back to Hanyuan City to destroy the Zhang family, and finally hurried slowly, and finally returned to Xuandu Temple after nightfall.

Among them, flying magic machines play an important role.

Han Tielin handed over the Han family's best Aurora Flying Boat to his daughter, and the speed was as fast as he was on the way back.

After getting off the flying magic weapon, Zhou Qing and Han Shanshan walked into the mountains, and then the two sides parted.

"Miss Han, I'll look for you when I'm done here."

"Senior Brother Zhou, your business is important, don't worry about me."

Han Shanshan still wants to go to Cyclamen Peak, while Zhou Qing wants to go to the Hall of Merit.

The true transmission assessment is also one of the tasks of the Xuandu, and this aspect is the responsibility of the Hall of Merit, which is a very large department among the halls of the Xuandu and closely related to the disciples.

It is precisely because of this that the Hall of Merit is located on the periphery of the Xuanfa Mountains, which is extremely close to the one hundred and eight inner and outer peaks, which greatly facilitates the disciples to take over the tasks of the sect.

It is also convenient for Zhou Qing, after all, he has no crane to take advantage of now, and he can only walk on two legs, if the distance is far, it will still be more troublesome.

Soon, the Meritorious Peak was far away.

Ancient stone steps extend from all directions, and finally converge under the merit peak.

After approaching the Meritorious Peak, the number of Xuandu disciples he met also increased.

The black-clothed outer disciples and the white-clothed inner disciples are in an endless stream.

There are rules in the Xuandu Temple, in the mountain gate, the outer gate and the inner door disciples must wear the corresponding Xuandu uniform unless they are in their own rooms or some special places.

The same is true of the clerks and deacons.

Only the true disciples and the elders and above are high-level, although there are also Dharma robes, but whether they are worn or not is casual and there are no restrictions.

Therefore, when you meet other people in the Xuanfa Mountains and look at their clothes, you can also roughly know their identity and status.

Zhou Qing is also wearing white clothes in the inner door now, but wherever he passes, people keep looking at him.

"I think I've seen this guy?"

"It looks familiar."

"Zhou, Zhou Qing?!"

Someone recognized Zhou Qing, and then, like a chain reaction, a low cry kept sounding, and many people stared at him intently.

Qualification test, fault first, water moon Zhou Qing!

In the past few days since he left Xuandu Temple, Zhou Qing has not only not been forgotten, but his reputation has spread further.

Now, except for a very small number of disciples who are not in the Xuandu Temple, and who have been in retreat for a long time, there is no one in the inner and outer sects who does not know Zhou Qing.

Even though it was night, Zhou Qing's dazzling demeanor was still discovered.

"Senior Brother Zhou, are you going to the Hall of Merit to hand in the task?" Someone had the courage to talk to Zhou Qing.

"I'm very familiar with Merit Peak, why don't you let me lead the way for Senior Brother Zhou?"

Although Zhou Qing has only been getting started for a few days and is not familiar with these inner disciples, the path of cultivation is the first.

He was about to be promoted to the True Inheritance, and these disciples called him Senior Brother, and that was as it should be.

However, for this kindness, Zhou Qing smiled and declined, and then went to the Meritorious Peak alone, leaving only those disciples to watch behind him.

"Senior Brother Zhou has been away from the sect for a few days, and now he is back, has he completed the true inheritance assessment?"

"I'm afraid so, it's really efficient."

"Senior Brother Zhou deserves to be the most outstanding disciple of this generation!"

“……”

The exclamations kept ringing.

They don't have much intersection with Zhou Qing, and they don't know what kind of person Zhou Qing is, but it doesn't prevent them from having feelings of admiration and reverence for him.

Mu Qiang's heart, most people will have.

The Peak of Merit is not particularly tall, not as good as the Cyclamen Peak, but it has a different scene.

After Zhou Qing went up the mountain, he went straight to the peak.

There is not only one hall of merit, but there are three, the first hall of merit at the foot of the mountain, the second hall of merit at the mountainside, and the third hall of merit at the top of the mountain.

The functions of each hall of merit are similar, and the biggest difference is that the various tasks in the three halls of merit are of different levels.

The higher you go, the higher the mission level and the more dangerous it becomes.

And these three halls of merit do not require the level of disciples, and outer disciples can also go to the third hall of merit, and if they feel that their strength is strong, they can also take tasks inside.

I heard that the reason why three merit halls were built was also because there were too many disciples in Xuandu, and one merit hall would be too crowded.

into the vegetable market.

What Zhou Qing is going to now is the Third Hall of Merit.

After arriving at the destination, Zhou Qing directly found the deacon of the Hall of Merit and explained his intention.

"Inner disciple Zhou Qing has completed the true inheritance assessment."

He was stunned for a moment by the deacon facing the Holy Realm, and then hurriedly said:

"Please wait a moment, the elders are responsible for the assessment of the true inheritance, so I will contact the elders."

Zhou Qing nodded, and then waited quietly.

The hall of merit is very empty, a counter cuts two spaces, and there are pieces of jade slips hanging on the surrounding walls, and there are disciples wandering around, checking the information in the jade slips from time to time.

This is the task jade slip, recording one task after another, which one the disciple wants to do, just take down the jade slip and register it here with the deacon.

Behind the counter, there are also pieces of task jade slips behind the deacon, but the tasks recorded in these jade slips will be more special, and if you want to receive them, there will be certain requirements.

Those disciples who were choosing a task also looked at Zhou Qing at this moment, it was very quiet here, so Zhou Qing's words just now were naturally known to everyone.

Zhou Qing, complete the true biography assessment......

This made many people's hearts shake, Xuandu saw that there would be another true disciple in the future, and he was still a Tianjiao with such a fierce momentum.

didn't let Zhou Qing wait long, and soon an old man strode in, his steps were powerful, and he didn't look old at all.

"Water Moon Peak Zhou Qing?"

"I've seen the elder, I'm Zhou Qing."

The old man nodded, then turned and walked towards a corner of the Hall of Merit, where there was a door.

"You come with me."

The two entered the door, and there were passages behind the door, and the old man chose one, and finally took Zhou Qing into a quiet room.

After taking a seat, the old man introduced himself:

"My surname is Jiang, and I am the elder on duty in the Hall of Merit."

Then Elder Jiang pointed to the corner of the room, where there was a cube of wood about the size of a Rubik's Cube, and on the opposite side of them, there was an eye pupil.

"Record Eye, everything we say next will be recorded for the temple master to see."

Very formal and solemn.

Elder Jiang took out another booklet, a pen and paper, looked at Zhou Qing, and asked:

"Your true inheritance assessment is to investigate the problems of the Zhang family in Hanyuan County, and after the results of the investigation, deal with the Zhang family."

Zhou Qing nodded, "Yes." ”

"You can talk about the results of your own investigation and how to deal with the Zhang family."

Zhou cleared his thoughts, and then said:

"After I arrived in Hanyuan County, after my careful investigation, I found that the Zhang family colluded with the barbarians to kidnap the human race in various places, treat the human race as a commodity, and trade with the barbarian every month."

Elder Jiang was originally bowing his head to record, but after hearing Zhou Qing's words, he paused his pen.

"Buying and selling Terrans?"

He asked, angry.

"Yes, I intercepted a transaction of the Zhang family, and the stolen goods were seized, and the evidence is conclusive."

Zhou Qing took out the space bag that could hold a living person, this thing was called a hidden spirit bag, and he already knew it.

And the 1,000 human races in the hidden spirit bag, Zhou Qing did not release it.

They're going to be stuck in there, and they're going to be fine.

If it is released in advance, it will be a big trouble to settle these thousand people, and it will be very simple to hand it over to the Xuandu Temple and be placed by the sect.

"There are Terrans who have recently been plundered by the Zhang family and are ready to trade with the barbarians."

Although the hidden spirit bag has now been handed over as evidence, after everything is over, this treasure will still be returned to Zhou Qing.

It is a well-known rule that all the gains in the assessment of the true transmission belong to the disciples themselves.

Elder Jiang took a look at the Hidden Spirit Bag, and his face turned a little colder.

"You go on."

"After identifying the problems of the Zhang family, I ......"

Zhou Qing explained the follow-up things clearly, and took out the souls of all the high-ranking members of the Zhang family that he suppressed.

Why did he bother to bring these spirits back?

Because it's all evidence.

Otherwise, one would be counted as one, and he would have fed them all to the Soul Devouring Flower.

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, Elder Jiang also stopped writing, and he nodded.

"I will hand over the experience and results of your task to the hall master, and the assessment will come down on a later date."

"Try to stay in Shuiyue Peak these days, don't go out, you can be notified as soon as possible."

"Well, I'm sorry for Elder Jiang."

"What's the trouble." Elder Jiang got up, and Zhou Qing was also preparing to leave.

The old man looked at Zhou Qing and suddenly said:

"Good job."

Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"It's also everyone's business."

Elder Jiang sent Zhou Qing out, and then took off the Record Eye on the wooden square and replaced it with a new one.

He left directly with the booklet and the Eye of Records to find the Hall Master of the Hall of Merit.

Zhou Qing got off the merit peak and thought to himself.

"Judging by this Elder Jiang's reaction, he shouldn't have known about the Zhang family's problem beforehand, that is, he didn't know what the situation was at the top of the Xuandu Temple."

"The next thing is to wait for the results of those big names......

After each disciple returns from completing the True Transmission Assessment, there is such a process.

It's not that just because you're back doesn't mean you've completed your mission.

The top management of the Xuandu Temple will also evaluate your performance in the mission, if you have some performance in the mission that is too rebellious.

For example, if you show a tendency to go to a foreign race, or if you have any cheating behavior, then whether you can pass the assessment will be a question mark.

Sometimes, the high-level of Xuandu will also summon disciples to have some questions and answers face-to-face.

The assessment of true disciples is very strict and formal in all aspects.

However, Zhou Qing was not too worried about this step, he felt that his performance in the Zhang family's mission this time could be said to be perfect.

One hundred dusks!

He walked back to Shuiyue Peak, the moon on the ground, and the strange scene of the Milky Way tilting appeared in front of him again.

No matter how many times you see it, such a view is amazing and amazing.

When Zhou Qing stepped onto Shuiyue Peak, Luo Liuli in the Dan Room in the mountain opened his eyes and said softly:

"I'm back."

"What's coming back?"

Another voice sounded, it was An Lang, who was sitting next to the alchemy furnace, talking.

That's right, this time to do the true inheritance assessment, Zhou Qing didn't bring An Lang with him.

It's not that Xuanduguan is not allowed to carry ghosts and spirit beasts, it's just that An Lang and Zhou Qing go together, and they can't help much.

So Zhou Qing chose to let her stay in Shuiyue Peak and study more with Luo Liuli.

Luo Liuli replied: "Zhou Qing." ”

An Lang exclaimed, and then the flames in the alchemy furnace flickered, and there was a tendency to get out of control, she quickly stabilized and concentrated on alchemy.

Luo Liuli walked out and happened to see Zhou Qing going up the mountain.

"Mission accomplished?" she asked. ”

Zhou Qing smiled and nodded, "Good luck." ”

"It's very efficient." Luo Liuli nodded slightly, "As far as I know, among the five disciples who conducted the True Inheritance Assessment this time, you were the first to come back. ”

"The sooner you finish the task, the sooner it will be easier, so I picked up the pace without delay."

When Zhou Qing said this, he sighed in his heart.

According to common sense, if you conduct the true inheritance assessment in your own capacity, you should be the last one to come back.

Qi Yunyuan and the others have all returned, but they have not been traced for a long time, and even the time limit of the mission is almost over, and they have not returned.

Then it will cause some people to worry, and some people to ridicule, thinking that he must have died in the assessment and will not come back.

At the last moment, he came back again, appeared on the stage, and slapped those who felt that he couldn't come back in the face.

In the script, the protagonists are like this.

But how could he be so fast?

Oh, it turned out to be open.

Zhou Qing walked up to Luo Liuli, and then told her about his mission experience this time.

The mission is over, and these things naturally don't need to be kept secret.

After hearing that the Zhang family's hidden problems were so bad, Rao Yiluo Liuli's temperament couldn't help frowning.

In the end, Luo Liuli nodded and said affirmatively:

"Your way of dealing with this is very good, such traitors and traitors, there is no need to be merciful in dealing with them."

No one will sympathize with the Zhang family after listening to the evil deeds committed by the Zhang family.

What's the matter, are you also a human being in the heart of the human race, and you are a spiritual barbarian?

Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"I have a doubt, like these true inheritance assessment tasks, does Xuanduguan know the beginning and end of the matter in advance? The question of the Zhang family, did Xuanduguan know before sending me? ”

Luo Liuli glanced at Zhou Qing and understood Zhou Qing's inner entanglement.

She shook her head, "Of course I didn't know about it beforehand. ”

"Whether it's a true transmission assessment task or an ordinary task given to disciples on weekdays, if it's a task like you that needs to investigate some things first, then you don't know what the truth of the problem is."

"This kind of task is that Xuanduguan perceives that there may be problems with some things from various channels, and then gives it to the disciples in the form of tasks, so that they can track down the truth and finally give it back."

"If the task of investigating the Zhang family is not handed over to you, nor is it handed over to the other four disciples this time, then Xuanduguan will send someone else to deal with it, and he will not turn a blind eye."

"For such a thing as collusion with barbarians, Xuanduguan has always never tolerated it."

When Zhou Qing heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After he learned the truth about the Zhang family, he was worried that Xuanduguan might have known all this a long time ago, but he chose to ignore it in order to temper his disciples.

There is nothing wrong with tempering disciples.

But if you turn a blind eye to the fact that thousands of human races are trafficked into barbarians every month just because you want to train your disciples, then what it represents is terrifying.

It means that the Xuandu view may ...... Something went wrong.

But if you think about it carefully, there is no need to do this in the Xuandu view of the thousand-year-old Taoist system.

And the disciples of Xuandu are to serve the Xuandu Concept, like this kind of thing, the Xuandu Outlook finds the clues of the problem, and the disciples go around to solve the worries of the Xuandu Concept.

If Xuanduguan itself knows where the problem of a matter is, and sends a disciple to investigate, it is not taking off his pants and farting, it is a pure waste of human resources.

Not necessarily, really not.

Then in this way, the affairs of the Zhang family will be very clear.

Xuanduguan should have sensed that the Zhang family might have a connection with the barbarians from some channel, but he didn't know what the Zhang family was doing.

It just so happened that Zhou Qing and the others needed to conduct a true inheritance assessment, and then they took this matter as a task and threw it to Zhou Qing.

Luo Liuli looked at Zhou Qing and continued:

"It's good that you can think about this, the Xuandu view has a long heritage, and sometimes it may not be infallible."

"When the time comes, thinking like yours may be able to detect some problems and dare to point out the problems."

Zhou Qing smiled embarrassedly, "I'm just thinking about it." ”

"By the way, I have two things related to alchemy here, which are very interesting."

Zhou Qing said, took out the Yan Dan Book and the Dan Flower, and explained the role of these two things.

Luo Liuli listened, her eyes lit up slightly, she took the two items and felt them carefully.

"Yandan Book...... The function of this treasure is somewhat similar to that of Shennong's jade book. ”

"Shennong Jade Book?"

Zhou Qing was slightly shocked in his heart, listening to Luo Liuli's meaning, there are still treasures in this world that have similar functions to the Yandan book?

Luo Liu nodded and explained:

"That is the treasure of the Eastern Zhou Shennong Valley, not an immortal weapon, but for the alchemist, the effect is better than that of an immortal weapon, and it can also automatically derive the Dan prescription, but there are also restrictions."

"Shennong Valley is the most profound force in the Dan Dao today, and both the upper and lower levels worship the Dan Dao, and their status in the cultivation world is very special."

"In this era, the recognized second alchemist is in Shennong Valley."

“…… Second Alchemist? ”

Zhou Qing was a little puzzled, the power with the highest attainments in the Dan Dao, but there was no first alchemist in it?

Luo Liuli replied: "The first alchemist is Zixiao Heavenly Monarch, this Heavenly Monarch's Dan Dao skills are extremely amazing, unparalleled in the world. ”

I see, I see.

The master of the Immortal Dao is said to be the first alchemist, so how dare Shennong Gu have an opinion.

But this world is really mysterious, Shennong Jade Book......

Luo Liuli looked at Danhua again, and her eyes brightened a little.

Shennong's jade book is in front of the jade, so although she is also interested in the Yandanshu, she can still be indifferent, but the effect of this Danhua is very magical.

She has lived for so many years, and she has even gone to Shennong Valley more than once to communicate with the alchemy masters there, but this is the first time she has heard of this kind of Danhua.

Do you want it......

Luo Liuli moved her gaze to Zhou Qing, and before she could speak, Zhou Qing said with a smile:

"These two strange things are tantamount to pearls in my place, so I want to give them to you to repay you for taking care of me these days."

Luo Liuli shook her head, "This is what I should do, how can I repay it." ”

"That's not to repay the favor, it's just that I just want to give it to you."

These days, it's really hard to give gifts.
