Another ten days passed, and the convoy got closer and closer to Zhongdu.

Zong Xiu sat upright in the carriage and rarely spoke, but when he was in a good mood, he would occasionally point out the problems in Zong Ziyu and Zong Zixin's cultivation.

This surprised the two of them, after all, very few people are willing or able to instruct others in their cultivation, not to mention that this does not look like a ghost offering that is good for others. But it didn't take long for the two of them to become grateful, although they only had a few words, but they could always point to the key points, which gave the two a lot of inspiration.

However, they can't keep their gratitude all the time, because this ghost has a really strange temper, sometimes he will remind you, sometimes he just looks at him coldly, and sometimes he doesn't forget to let Zhao Shucheng think of some torture methods and put them into action, such as tying people to their hands, and then letting him run behind the carriage...... And so on, and so on, making people suffer a lot along the way.

Of course, Zhao Shucheng avoided asking for hardships and always thought about it easily, but it didn't hurt, because Zong Xiu quickly asked Zong Zixin to think about it, and then compared the methods of the two, who had a worse method, let the poor party taste the means that the other party came up with.

This caused Zhao Shucheng and Zong Zixin to have to weigh the relationship, if the method is vicious, I am afraid that it will fall on me, if it is perfunctory, let the other party compare, and now they will suffer.

Along the way, all kinds of strange punishments emerged one after another, which naturally attracted the attention of others, but no one asked more, first, they didn't want to offend Zong Xiu, and second, they treated the prisoners, these means were really nothing.

No matter what you say, Zhongdu is getting closer and closer, which also makes Zhao Shucheng and Zong Zixin secretly breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise, if it continues like this, even if the limbs are not crippled, people will be made haggard.

On this day, Zong Xiu suddenly stopped practicing, glanced at the carriage, and could vaguely see a huge city in the distance, with a thick city wall rising from the ground, and an endless stream of pedestrians, and scouts with eagle guards drove their horses to clear the road so that the team could pass.

Zhao Shucheng had never been to Zhongdu, he poked his head out, and saw a large number of caravans and farmhouses being driven to both sides of the avenue, crowded with people and piles of things, and couldn't help but praise in a low voice: "Oh, it's so lively!"

Zong Xiu didn't speak, as far as he could see, the sky in front of him was clear and the sky was blue, but under the sense of divine sense, it was not a bustling metropolis in front of him, it was like a place shrouded in blood.

This is really surprising.

The convoy slowly passed through the city gate, Li Chunxian wanted to go to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to return his life, but Zong Xiu didn't need to do this, he and Qiu Ba and a few people as new worshippers in the worship hall, they only needed to go to the hall outside the worship hall to receive the token.

Yan Bingbai arranged a courtyard for Zong Xiu as a residence, and asked Wen Zhaohui to take Zong Ziyu and the three of them there, Zong Ziyu and Zong Zixin are no longer the identities of worship, and how to deal with them in the future depends on the arrangements of the Zhangtang, but as long as the Zhangtang does not speak, they are considered Zong Xiu's prisoners.

Yin Zhun took Qiu Ba, Deng Xinhong, and Yu Yingxiu into the worship hall first, but when he passed by Zong Xiu's side, he still greeted Zong Xiu very kindly.

When Yin Zhun left, Yan Bingbai reminded in a low voice: "Ghost worship, don't complain about me, but Deputy Yin Zhangtang is really not as generous as he appears on the surface, this time you are recommended by me again, according to the potential rules of the worship hall, everyone will treat you as my person, therefore, you still have to be careful." ”

Zong Xiu nodded and said, "I know." ”

Yan Bingbai could feel that the ghost worship replied carelessly, but he didn't say much, so he led Zong Xiu to the worship hall.

This is the second time Zong Xiu has seen the head of the outer hall.

Ordinary people are respectful when they see this figure of the Tang Dynasty, even if it is Yan Bingbai and Yin Zhun, the two deputy heads, or Qiu Ba of the ninth layer of the Qi Realm, they all glance at each other slightly and then hang their heads slightly to show respect.

But Zong Xiu is an exception, since he entered this outer hall, he has been looking up and down at the head of the outer hall in front of him, as if he is looking at a novelty, and he has no intention of avoiding it.

The shadow of Kuai Zhengliang, a disciple of the Luoyun Sect, can be vaguely seen on the face of this outer hall, but it gives people a completely different feeling, Kuai Zhengliang has a clear appearance, revealing an elegant temperament, and although the person in front of him has a similar appearance, how to look at it and feel weird, especially the eyes that open and close from time to time, they are even more red, like red blood beads.

No one knows the real name of the head of the hall outside the worship hall, only that when he first saw the king of Qin, he called himself the Marquis of Bloody Clothes, so he used to be called the Marquis of Bloody Clothes, but since the King of Qin ascended the throne and he became the head of the hall, everyone changed their mouths to call them Lord Zhangtang, and the title of the Marquis of Bloody Clothes gradually no one mentioned it anymore.

This is the information that Zong Xiu got from Zong Zixin, but about other aspects of this master, Zong Ziyu and Zong Zixin have been in the outer hall for more than a year, but they don't know much about it, only that this palm hall is acting strangely and its strength is difficult to guess.

Seeing it today, Zong Xiu affirmed one more thing, this outer hall is the same as the first time he met, it is not really itself.

Is it a puppet?

Zong Xiu wanted to get a rough idea, and the "Outer Hall Leader" was also looking at Zong Xiu, but Zong Xiu was wearing a mask, and the "Outer Hall Leader" had always had a very light and unchanged expression, which even gave Zong Xiu the illusion of whether he was wearing a human skin mask.

Therefore, the two watched for a long time, but they saw nothing.

Yan Bingbai was beside Zong Xiu, naturally noticing Zong Xiu's "disrespectful" actions, and secretly pinched a cold sweat for Zong Xiu in his heart, for fear that Zhangtang would suddenly flash over, stab his hand into the belly of this ghost worship, and then put on a different face again.

But until the end, nothing happened, the head of the hall threw a token over, Zong Xiu caught it, and then in the surprised eyes of everyone, he went directly out of the hall.

Yan Bingbai had already been filled with confusion, he saluted to the palm hall and retreated. He quickly followed Zong Xiu, and said fearfully: "The ghost worship was really reckless just now. ”

Zong Xiu glanced at him and said lightly, "Maybe." ”

After finishing speaking, he left directly, leaving Yan Bingbai standing still.

Zong Xiu walked to the courtyard that Yan Bingbai had arranged for him, but he was thinking about the bloody marquis in charge of the outer hall in his heart. He had just tested each other with this outer hall master, and the qi intersected, every time he increased a coercion, the outer hall master hall would follow by one point, and finally it was about to reach the critical point of the Ning Yuan Realm, Zong Xiu took the lead in dispersing, and the coercion released by the Bloody Cloth Marquis also disappeared without a trace.

Although neither of them used the power beyond the scope of the Qi Induction Realm, the control that the two of them clash with each other and not let others notice is clearly not something that a person from the Qi Induction Realm can show.

In other words, this outer hall master has basically determined that there is a cultivation of Ning Yuan Realm, and from this and that, the outer hall master can naturally judge that this newcomer is hiding his strength.

And he was able to give the token to Zong Xiu in the end, which is probably a tacit compromise, right?
