Chapter 20: The Unexpected

Zhang Zhiping took the two brothers back to the inn, came to the private room he had set, and took out the invitation card to look at it. An ordinary spring outing naturally wouldn't attract his attention, but he found that there was a mana imprint on this invitation, and it was obvious that there were immortal cultivators involved in this spring outing.

Zhang Zhiping was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should participate in this spring outing, to be honest, now his cultivation has just been in the early stage of Qi cultivation, and he can be said to be at the bottom of the immortal cultivation world, and it is not a good thing to rashly contact other immortal cultivators. And the royal family of the Zhou Kingdom, no matter how it is said, is also a cultivator family with a master of foundation building, in terms of status, in the eyes of Qingsongmen, I am afraid that it is far more than his own disciple who has not yet started, once there is any conflict, it is not too easy to deal with himself.

Zhang Zhiping is not a person who likes trouble, now he lacks nothing, as long as he breaks through the middle stage of Qi training, he can join the Qingsong Gate and worship Yunming Dao as a teacher. With this master of foundation building and great perfection as a backer, the road to the Qi training period can be described as smooth all the way, and before that, it is natural to avoid all kinds of troubles. And the best way to avoid trouble is to stay in Qingsongguan peacefully. The lesson of interception in the Romance of the Gods profoundly tells people: there is no way for good and evil, but people call themselves.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiping immediately decided not to participate in this spring outing, and after the two elder brothers finished the imperial examination, they stayed in the Qingsong Temple for retreat, and waited until they were high in cultivation before coming out to explore. It's just that what he didn't expect was that when he returned to Qingsong Temple in the evening, Zheng Changfa came over, held an invitation card in his hand and said, "Princess Jing has prepared a spring outing, will you go?"

Zhang Zhiping looked at Zheng Changfa in a bit of a daze, and said a little strangely after a while: "Senior Brother Zheng, are you also interested in the spring outing?" Looking at Zheng Changfa, who is getting more and more rich, he doesn't go out of the Xianyuan Hall all year round, why is he interested in coming out for a walk this time?

Zheng Changfa seemed to feel the malice in Zhang Zhiping's words, his chubby little face trembled, and he shouted loudly: "Senior Brother Zhang, what are you talking about, why can't I participate in the spring outing?!"

Zhang Zhiping hurriedly laughed and said: "No, it's nothing, it's just that the Immortal Yuan Hall controls a large number of cultivation resources, and Senior Brother Zheng has a great responsibility, so he can't leave without permission." ”

Zheng Changfa snorted when he heard this, and complained: "There are only a few Miao people in the Immortal Yuan Palace, and those broken copper and iron can't even look down on the monks in the middle stage of Qi cultivation, what do I have to worry about." "In the middle stage of Qi training, I will join the Qingsong Gate and return to the Qingsong Gorge, so the Xianyuan Hall distributes resources, which seems to be high and powerful, and the oil and water are huge, but they are basically things used by monks in the early stage of Qi training, and there are very few things that are useful for the middle stage of Qi training. The spirit stones are more important, but he has already put them in a storage bag and brought them with him.

Only monks in the late stage of Qi cultivation can use storage bags, because in the late stage of Qi refining, the soul power can be turned into spiritual power, and the spiritual power can be put outside the body; and only the items wrapped in spiritual power can be put into the storage bag and taken out, even Li Zhenchang did not have a storage bag at the beginning, but only carried a package such as a medicine bag with him.

Since Zheng Changfa invited him to participate in the spring outing, with the support of this great master in the late stage of qi refining, he naturally didn't have to worry about anything, thinking that the monks in the foundation building period would not participate in the affairs of these juniors, so Zhang Zhiping also took out his own invitation and promised to participate in this spring outing with Zheng Changfa.

After that, there was nothing to do, except for the occasional gathering of fellow villagers, Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Renjing spent the rest of their time studying hard in the inn and making the final sprint.

After nine days, Zheng Changfa changed into a gorgeous Taoist robe, and he looked a little powerful on his fat body, and Zhang Zhiping followed aside, like a little Taoist boy.

Soon the two came to the Taiyuan Pavilion dozens of miles away, at this time there were already a lot of people here, those wealthy nobles with a large number of servants, arranged in an orderly manner under the command of one person, take a closer look, isn't it Princess Zhou Jing.

Zhang Zhiping suddenly heard the sound of sucking saliva at this time, turned his head to look, and found that Zheng Changfa was staring at Zhou Qian with some indulgence. Zhang Zhiping suddenly realized, no wonder Zheng Changfa came here so actively, it turned out that he liked Zhou Jing, stained, with this figure, can Zhou Jing take a fancy to him?

Zhang Zhiping looked at Zheng Changfa with some amusement, joked together, and said loudly: "Senior Brother Zheng, your saliva is flowing out!" Zheng Changfa was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly picked up his sleeve to wipe his saliva, and then found that there was nothing, and immediately said angrily: "Okay, you kid, dare to make a joke about senior brother!"

Zhang Zhiping hurriedly begged for mercy, then pointed to the other side and said, "Look! Princess Zhou Jing has seen it!"

Zheng Changfa saw that the two of them had attracted the attention of the other side, and immediately turned on a straight face, tidied up his clothes and walked to the opposite side.

Zhang Zhiping originally thought that no one knew the two, but he didn't expect that along the way, there were constantly children of wealthy families who saluted Zheng Changfa, and Zheng Changfa only nodded at most, without even looking at each other. What made Zhang Zhiping's jaw almost drop was that after Zheng Changfa approached Zhou Jing, Zhou Jing raised her eyebrows and scolded angrily: "Dead fatty, why did you come?!"

Zhang Zhiping looked at this scene with some dumbfounded, Zheng Changfa lost the majesty just now, and explained the reason why he was late, and finally couldn't explain it for a long time, so he simply pulled Zhang Zhiping directly and said: "It's because this kid got up late, so we came late!"

A black pot was inexplicably buckled on Zhang Zhiping's head, which made Zhang Zhiping, who was already a little dazed, even more dizzy, and Zhou Jing only noticed Zhang Zhiping at this time. Obviously, the scene just now fell in Zhang Zhiping's eyes, Zhou Jing smiled a little embarrassedly, kicked Zheng Changfa hard, and said loudly: "Don't hurry up and prepare!" After speaking, he left directly to direct everyone to camp as if he didn't see Zhang Zhiping.

Zhang Zhiping finally reacted at this time, looking at Zheng Changfa with admiration, he couldn't imagine that his senior brother was so burly, and he could catch up with a princess! Zheng Changfa's eyes slanted, and he snorted in his nose.

At noon, the people participating in the spring outing were basically gathered, and under the command of Zhou Jing, the arrangements of all walks of life were in good order, and the direction of the camp was quite in line with the art of war. And Zheng Changfa has been arranging a camp tent since he came, and it was a little strange for Zhang Zhiping to help on the side, this didn't look like a living camp tent, but it was similar to the auction hall he had seen in his previous life. Zhang Zhiping is not a stupid person, he examined this spring outing from beginning to end, no matter how he looks at it, it looks like Zheng Changfa and Zhou Jing, the adultererous husband **, ahh

After the arrangement was completed, Zheng Changfa didn't do anything strange, but began to accompany Zhou Jing to greet these family members like a real spring outing.

Zhang Zhiping did not follow the side to make a light bulb, but began to observe the people who came, not to mention those ordinary noble disciples, even the ministers of the court and the central government did not put them in his eyes, but he soon found that there were many immortal cultivators among these people.

Zhang Zhiping immediately paid attention to the information of these people, and after a while, he figured out the identities of these people, namely the crown prince Zhou Shiping, the third prince Zhou Shi'an, the seventh prince Zhou Shijie, the son of the prime minister Chen Yu, and the worship immortal master of the worship pavilion.
