Chapter 56: Heavenly Remnants
What should have come is still coming.
Zhang Feiyang's heart froze, knowing that time was not enough, it seemed that he could only improvise for a while, and he raised the spirit of the twelve-point spirit, and slowly entered the city with the disciples of the Heavenly Remnant Guan around him.
From this way until after entering the city, Sister Qiao and Gu Qingxue never harassed him again, which made Zhang Feiyang feel a little surprised.
But now that is the time when he must be vigilant at all times, he doesn't have the heart to figure out why Sister Qiao and Gu Qingxue have become so obedient.
Under the leadership of Uncle Tai, Zhang Feiyang did not follow everyone into a big house in the center of the city for the first time, but asked Uncle Tai An to lead the way, made a tour guide, and gave him a brief introduction to the environment of the headquarters of the Heavenly Remnant Temple.
This naturally made Uncle Tai unable to refuse.
Who let Zhang Feiyang not come back for so long? It is completely understandable to forget the arrangement in the Heavenly Remnant Temple.
Thinking of this, Uncle Tai An enthusiastically took Zhang Feiyang and Sister Qiao, and Gu Qingxue and the three of them walked from the east to the south, and then from the south to the west, until they completely gave Zhang Feiyang a brief introduction to the situation on the entire island.
Zhang Feiyang had a clearer understanding of the Heavenly Remnant View.
Originally, this island is now called Tianzhu Island, and it used to be called Dongling Island, because there are large mountains in the east, and only the west is the entrance.
Therefore, if the Heavenly Remnant Gate wants to return to the island from the mainland, it can only be reached by crossing the river east through the river on the border of Wu.
As for the whole island, the north and south sides of the island are heavily defended, and it is impossible for outsiders who do not know the remnants of the sky to enter, even if they attack and sneak attack, it will be useless.
Because, the Heavenly Remnant View has set up a lot of trap traps in those two locations and some senior disciples whose strength is enough to be called the mainstay in the Heavenly Remnant Observatory to guard them all day and night, and there will be no situation like the Firefox Sect, where everyone else has attacked the mountain gate, and the people of the Firefox Sect don't know about it.
And in the interior of the island, the Heavenly Remnant View is not much different from the ordinary Immortal Cultivation Sect, and it also has the same levels of outer disciples, inner disciples, elders and masters.
People of each level can only be fixed in one area to move, if the cultivation can't break through, they can't go to more places, the higher the cultivation, the higher the status, the higher the identity, the more free the movement in the iron castle of the Heavenly Remnant Temple.
However, the Heavenly Remnant View still has some essential differences from ordinary immortal cultivation sects like the Firefox Sect.
Ordinary immortal cultivation sects pay attention to following the good path, letting the disciples progress little by little, so as to achieve the purpose of making the entire sect prosperous, even if some disciples make any mistakes, they may be punished lightly.
The view of heaven remnants is diametrically opposed.
Regardless of whether you make a mistake in the Heavenly Remnant Temple, as long as you can't complete the task within the specified time, you will be severely punished. Almost all of these punishments are carried out by amputating people's hands and feet.
Therefore, the name of the Heavenly Remnant Concept comes from this, which means that the task is assigned by the heavens, and it belongs to the part of the Heavenly Dao, which is the heavens are screening people who are suitable for cultivating immortals, if they cannot complete the task, it is naturally equivalent to being estranged from the Heavenly Dao, in order to continue to motivate the disciples to have the courage to perform the tasks that will be assigned every month, they will punish the unqualified disciples in the name of the Heavenly Dao.
At this moment, the two passed by a hut, the room was full of teenagers and girls dressed in all kinds of strange costumes, the oldest was only about 16 years old like Zhang Feiyang, and the youngest was only 8 years old, but at this age when they should have been lively and active, they were like snails, slowly refining pills in the house.
Zhang Feiyang took a few more looks, and saw that these boys, girls, and children had more or less obvious disabilities on their bodies, either with fewer hands or missing legs, and even the most pitiful child was only half of his body, and he was put in a wine jar, unable to move, and could only communicate with others with his voice.
He was so frightened, naturally not to mention Sister Qiao and Gu Qingxue in the back, the two of them just turned their eyes on the people in the room, they were so frightened that they screamed, their faces turned pale, they chased two steps, ran to Zhang Feiyang's side, hugged his arm tightly, threw himself into his arms, and kept trembling.
Uncle An laughed, seeing that Zhang Feiyang's face was a little ugly, he patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him with concern as he walked: "Zhang Feiyang." You must have forgotten about it, haha. It's normal to be scared. Every disciple who has just entered the Heavenly Remnant Meditation will be scared when they see these for the first time, but after you stay for a long time, you will get used to it. Rest assured. You have done a great job this time, and you will not be crippled. ”
Zhang Feiyang looked back at those poor people again, and asked more: "Then what if I fail to complete the task next time?"
"That's not going to work. You only have a one-time effect. If you ask for these two women this time, you will receive the reward. If you can't complete the task next time, whether you should have fewer legs or fewer hands depends on how well you complete the task. Uncle An smiled and shook his head, a cold light shot out of his eyes, and explained.
Zhang Feiyang was excited, and when he heard the screams of two women in his ears, he also felt furious in his heart, and immediately changed the topic and talked about a topic he expected to understand.
"That's right. Uncle Ann. Are the statistics out of this big war?"
Uncle An glanced at Zhang Feiyang strangely, not knowing why he asked such a strange question, but he didn't hide it much, so he told the approximate number.
"Twenty disciples who cultivated in the late stage of the Qi Refining Period died, and one elder who had completed the Qi Refining Period died. He was also a disciple of more than 60 disciples at the beginning of the Qi refining period. ”
Zhang Feiyang nodded, his heart moved, but his face pretended to be idle and bored, and asked, "Is the elder of the Qi Refining Stage Consummation Level also dead?" It seems that it is not easy for us to win this battle." ”
"Isn't it, although we won, it would be a big loss to lose an elder who had completed the Qi Refining Period. However, after all, the head of the Fire Fox Sect is dead, and the guardian beast Fire Fox has also been killed, and on the whole, we still make money. It's just that I didn't expect the head of the Firefox Sect to leave like this, which will cause us to suffer a lot of damage to the vitality of the Heavenly Remnant Concept. Uncle Tai An nodded and replied approvingly.
Zhang Feiyang sighed, pretending to have a sad expression that only a dead Zhou Xian would have, and mourned silently in front of his uncle, and his whole spirit became sluggish.
Uncle An was surprised and hurriedly patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
Zhang Feiyang took a long breath, as if he was comforted by Uncle Tai'an, and finally regained some of his strength and strength, closed his eyes, and in front of Uncle Tai'an, he put back a tear that had already been contained in his eyes, and asked, "I don't know which elder encountered this kind of misfortune?"
"Elder Sun from the Logistics Department. Uncle Tai said casually.
Zhang Feiyang slammed the ground, knelt on the ground, his eyes were dull, his eyes were blood-red again, the tears that had just been forced down could no longer be suppressed, they fell like rain, his hands were folded, and he bowed to the west of the island where the Firefox Sect was located.
He suddenly acted this play, and no one understood what was going on.
Sister Qiao and Gu Qingxue were strange in their hearts, but they didn't dare to speak, they knew that Zhang Feiyang must have a good intention in doing this, so they just glanced at each other and kept their doubts in their hearts.
Uncle Anke was not so cautious, seeing Zhang Feiyang sad like this, he hurriedly reached out to help him up, and asked with concern.
"Zhang Feiyang. Are you Elder Sun's apprentice? Haven't you even forgotten about our Heavenly Remnant Concept? How can you still remember your master?"
Zhang Feiyang didn't dare to rush to affirm, but just glanced at him deeply and was noncommittal.
Because, he was afraid that if he came down now, and when the time came, he would know about it to others who were familiar with real spies, and it would be the end of the goof.
Now it's good to leave a guess in Uncle Tai's heart.
In this case, if the people who knew the real spy at the beginning are all dead, or they are not in the sky for the time being, then he will not feel too abrupt to others if he admits it, and then Tai Shu'an, a witness, can speak for himself.
Really.
Everything developed as Zhang Feiyang expected.
After familiarizing himself with the general environment of the entire Heavenly Remnant Temple, later, under the leadership of Taishu An, he finally entered the big room in the center of the Iron Castle.
At this time, it was already full of people, the weak ones stood in the back, and the strong ones stood in front.
One of them was dressed as a scholar, a middle-aged man in his 40s standing at the front with a fan in his hand, his head lowered, thinking about something, with a serious face, as if he had something on his mind.
Although the several men and women with higher status next to him had a very high cultivation level and gathered around him, they did not dare to disturb the man's thinking, they all bowed their heads respectfully, waiting for the man's speech.
I'm afraid this scholar is the head of the sect, right? I didn't expect that the Heavenly Remnant View is such a cruel and ruthless sect, but the head of the sect is a scholar?
Zhang Feiyang was surprised by an accident.
At this moment, the middle-aged scholar suddenly sighed, his face straightened, put away his sadness and seriousness, and became much gentler.
Several distinguished people in front of him all breathed a sigh of relief.
The scholar glanced at everyone, his face was expressionless, he raised his hand slightly, and gave a few words to a woman about 30 years old, and the whole hall began the reckoning of this great war.
"Elder Dongfang. This time, we sent a total of 302 brothers, and a total of 73 brothers were killed in the battle. Although he won, he also suffered a lot of losses, and Elder Sun sacrificed ......"
First, the 30-year-old woman took the lead in explaining the overall statistical results.
Then, the rest of the men around her who were equally honorable began to follow her words and report the names of the 73 people who had died.
In the end, it was still the 30-year-old woman who reported the seized magic weapon.
Elder Dongfang, who had been listening carefully to the results, and his face was getting more and more ugly, finally eased his face a little and nodded with relief.
After a while, Elder Dongfang seemed to have thought of something good, glanced at the woman beside him, and suddenly smiled slightly, dissolving the oppressive atmosphere in the hall immediately, and said, "Uncle Tai." Come on. I heard that you have found the spy of the head of the sect in the Firefox Sect. Over the years, we can accurately know the situation of the Firefox Sect, and he has made great contributions. Bring him with you. ”
"Yes. Elder. That's him. His name is Zhang Feiyang. When Uncle An heard this, he laughed excitedly, pushed Zhang Feiyang to the front desk, and introduced it to everyone in the hall.
For the next period of time, Zhang Feiyang was like an extremely delicate work of art, and he had to put on a false smile to meet the gaze of every disciple of the Heavenly Remnant Observatory.
These eyes have hot jealousy, gentle envy, and appreciation like a breeze, all in all, at this time, Zhang Feiyang is uncomfortable to show others, but he has to smile and accompany him, and his heart is very uncomfortable.
After a while, this gaze was reduced by half with a wave of Elder Dongfang's hand.
But this Dongfang Elder obviously didn't look interested in Zhang Feiyang, seeing that he was mediocre and had a clumsy reaction, he didn't mean to stay for a moment at all, and with a wave of his hand, he handed over the matter of how to place Zhang Feiyang to the woman who was about 30 years old, and turned around and left the hall.
"Talk about the elders. Zhang Feiyang's business will be handed over to you. I'm a little tired. Let's go rest first. ”
"Okay, Elder Dongfang. I won't send the little girl. The woman was flattered, and suddenly smiled as bright as a blooming flower, and after seeing Elder Dongfang leave, she began to look Zhang Feiyang up and down.
She circled around Zhang Feiyang and was about to ask, but Uncle Tai'an's voice sounded first.
"Talk about the elders. This time, Zhang Feiyang has made a great contribution, and he has promised to give me the reward that the original head should have given him. Please don't forget about it. Uncle Tai An glanced back at Zhang Feiyang, winked at him, and suddenly bowed to Elder Tan and explained respectfully.
Elder Tan was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Zhang Feiyang, a boy who was not good-looking, to have such a generous bearing, and his interest in Zhang Feiyang increased a little, and he hurriedly turned his head to confirm to him: "Is that so?"
Of course, Zhang Feiyang didn't dare to deny it, and nodded, which can be regarded as affirmation.
Because, he knew that if he denied it, Uncle Tai An would shake out the matter between Sister Qiao and Gu Qingxue, and even maybe beat him up and frame himself for not being a spy, in that case, if he had no evidence to prove that he was a real spy, he would be in a dangerous situation.
In fact, when he exchanged the reward for the lives of Sister Qiao and Gu Qingxue, he had already expected that Uncle An could be so generous and let go of those two beauties, and at this time, his heart was clear, it turned out that Uncle An was in the greater interest of the beauties than the beauties.
Elder Tan didn't know the secret of the two of them, and when he saw that Zhang Feiyang agreed, he believed it, and he slapped a flattering look at Uncle Tai An, and said crisply: "Uncle Tai An." Then I'd like to congratulate you. ”
She is already charming and moving, not to mention, her cultivation is far higher than that of Taishu An, and if Tai Shu'an suddenly came to such a moment, how can Tai Shu'an afford it.
Seeing Uncle Anden's face flushed with excitement, and he looked immersed in his fantasies about her, Elder Tan's face suddenly sank, as if his face was covered with frost, he smiled coldly, changed his words, and continued: "Uncle Tai An." I'm afraid you won't get this reward, though. I'll tell you a sorry news, the head of the family has traveled far away, and I don't know how many years it will take to come back. ”
This sentence seemed to be a thunderbolt that knocked Uncle An from the clouds of happiness to the bottom.
He opened his mouth wide in disbelief and stared at Elder Tan blankly, speechless, the disappointment in his heart overflowing.
Tan Meng chuckled, and ignored him anymore, it seemed that he had already done this kind of thing to hit others many times, and with a slight wave of his hand and a few words, a few disciples took Tai Shu'an out of the door.
At this moment, Tan Meng looked at Zhang Feiyang with a calm face again, and asked with a smile, "Zhang Feiyang." Do you remember when you went to the Firefox Sect to be a spy, which master was in the view?"
