Chapter 782: Lobbyist
Hearing this, I was surprised: "Aren't all the disciples of the lineage dead?"
Zhang Xiaohu had a wry smile on his face, but he was still respectful.
Then, I heard a burst of footsteps, which came from the inside unhurriedly, and when I arrived at the door, Zhang Xiaohu looked at it, it was Li Jian Li Shizu who was dressed in a green robe and had gray sideburns, the wrinkles on Li Jian's face at this time were like knife carvings, in addition to the sideburns, the head was also white, only the waist was still straight, and the spirit in his eyes was more fierce than before. Zhang Xiaohu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately stepped forward to bow and salute, saying, "Disciple Zhang Xiaohu, knock to see Master Li." ”
Seeing Zhang Xiaohu, Li Jian also frowned, thought for a moment, and hesitated: "You are the very old disciple of Ah Hai Shu?"
Zhang Xiaohu nodded and said, "It's the disciple." ”
"Alas, I have wronged you too, I have only been in my Ethereal Sect for a few years, and I have experienced great changes, and I have not enjoyed the preferential treatment of my descendants at all."
Zhang Xiaohu was embarrassed and said: "The disciple doesn't dare, under the master's teaching, the disciple has been cultivating the ethereal magic skill for several years, and it can be regarded as a small gain." ”
"Ethereal Divine Skill?" Li Jian stared at him for a long time, and sneered: "You have a small gain? You dare to say this? Although the old man has lost all his internal strength, he still has a vision, just because you have just practiced the internal skills for several years, and you dare to say that you have a small gain, and you are not afraid to hit you, but you are not ashamed to say that you haven't even found the threshold."
Then, he didn't understand his hatred and said: "It's simply a profound and profound magic skill of the town sect that defiles the ethereal divine skill."
"This..."Zhang Xiaohu was sweating profusely, I heard that this Li Shi's group has always been cold-faced and hot-hearted, why did he give himself such a disgrace when they met?
Zhang Xiaohu didn't dare to refute, what Li Jian said was right, he is now practicing the two internal skills together, and the heat is the level of a few years, so he had to smile bitterly: "Master Li's lesson is right, the disciple will definitely practice martial arts hard in the future, and he will never fall to the ground with the reputation of this ethereal magic skill."
Li Jian ignored it, and said to the disciple surnamed Zhou: "You go and call your Senior Uncle Li and Senior Brother Shi, we have been here for four or five years, this is the first time that a disciple of the descendants has come to be a lobbyist, it is better to meet, maybe there is something wrong with Ah Hai."
Then, squinting at Zhang Xiaohu: "Come in." ”
Zhang Xiaohu followed Li Jian into the conference hall and looked around curiously.
This is a very ventilated wooden building on all sides, and there is no forming wall, the so-called hall, put a few chairs, Zhang Xiaohu counted slightly, it is six, when looking up, there are three spirit cards directly above the hall, there are also three incense burners, it is a few incense sticks are burning.
Zhang Xiaohu's heart sank, there was nothing to say, wasn't it the names of Ou Peng, Shangguan Merry and Xu Peihua?
He didn't dare to slack off, and when Li Jian sat down on a chair next to him, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to the ground, kowtowed three times, and then stepped forward and respectfully put three sticks of incense on each spirit card, and then retreated and stood opposite Li Jian.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohu respectfully kowtowing to incense, Li Jian only looked at it coldly, and was not moved by these actions, and did not even have any expression.
Joke, this is Zhang Xiaohu's ancestor, and the spirit card is here, if you don't go up and bow to the incense, it will be surprising, but if these alone make Li Jian show a relieved gaze, and then nod frequently, moved by Zhang Xiaohu's demeanor, it will be even more of a joke.
Well, presumably Zhang Xiaohu's previous disciples were all so "fake".
Zhang Xiaohu stood there and waited for a while, then he heard Li Jian cough and said: "Zhang Xiaohu, since you are a disciple of my Ethereal Sect, then you are not welcome, you tell me the truth, what conditions did the Sect come up with this time to make us submit?"
Zhang Xiaohu was a little dazed, raised his head and said, "Master Li, the disciple is not here for this matter......
Then Li Jian waved his hand and said: "Hehe, it's not like this, what else can it be? You came here before, didn't they all want to tell me about this? And they didn't all play under this banner? Hehe, forget it, they actually sent you out this time, it's really a bit of a poor donkey, you can tell me about the changes in the Ethereal Hall in the past year, no matter how big or small, as long as you know, tell me about it."
Zhang Xiaohu thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Yes, Master Li." ”
Then, he stood there and told everything he knew about what had happened during the year, and it was not until he was about to finish that Uncle Zhou pushed a huge simple chair and brought a man to the council hall.
Zhang Xiaohu stopped narrating and looked at the drunken man on the chair, wasn't it the majestic stone ox on the Ethereal Peak back then?
But at this time, Shi Niu actually gained some weight, and the kind of pressing momentum on his body had long been gone, and his body collapsed on the chair, leaving only a burst of decadence and a burst of alcohol.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohu stepping forward to salute, the stone cow only opened his drunken eyes slightly, squinted for a while, just closed it, and ignored it, and listened to Uncle Zhou say: "Uncle Li, Uncle Liu has not woken up yet, so he can't come, I have already told the disciples of the guard, if Senior Nephew Zhang hasn't left yet, when Uncle Zhang wakes up, tell him." ”
Looking at Shi Niu's appearance, Li Jian said coldly: "Zhang Xiaohu, you go on, when Shi Niu is sober, you can talk to him again." ”
So, Zhang Xiaohu went on to tell him about the recent Youlan twilight refining situation, but this time Li Jian listened to it with his eyebrows fluttering, slapped the table and said: "Happy, happy, it's really happy, what kind of monster is in this Youlan Grand Canyon? Why did you only kill thousands of ordinary disciples?
Zhang Xiaohu's sweat.
When he heard that Zhang Xiaohu had saved Zhang Xiaohua, Li Jian unconsciously let out a cold snort from his nose: "The benevolence of the woman is just a kid from the Tuodan Hall, what is there to save?
Zhang Xiaohu was speechless, even Zhang Xiaohua, who was hidden on the side, was also displeased, although he saw Shi Niu being pushed in just now, he felt a burst of sadness in his heart, and sighed that the brave man back then had fallen to such a point, but now he was reprimanded by Li Jian, and he felt extremely contemptuous for Li Jian's narrow sectarianism
When Li Jian heard that Zhao Jian was crazy, he felt a little gloomy, and said: "This kid came here last year, and he looked like Sven, and the incense was also Jiujiu, why didn't he see him so vicious? That is, the disciples of this sect have to be harmed? Alas, the ancients were good: 'If an orange is born in Huainan, it is an orange, and if it is born in Huaibei, it is an orange', if Zhao Jian is in our ethereal faction, he will definitely not do such a hurtful thing." ”
"Dizzy~" Zhang Xiaohu secretly slandered again: "People are on nine incense sticks, you look at it so highly, it seems that I am less up, but ...... Master Li, the disciple really doesn't understand the rules."
After Zhang Xiaohu finished speaking, Li Jian looked at the sky and said: " Well, you have said what you should say, I should have said it, you have also said it, you have to remember, you are a disciple of the Ethereal Sect, although your martial arts are low, but your identity is here, don't be confused by some small favors from Yang Ruping and Yi Xiangfeng, what they can give you is just some foreign things, but your honor as a disciple of the Ethereal Sect is not something they can give you Go back, tell Yang Ruping, what she said, I will not agree, although the disciples of our Ethereal Sect have no martial arts, but they have strength, no food, we grow our own, we don't have a house, we build it ourselves, we wear animal skins without clothes, and the left and right have nothing to do with her Ethereal Hall, thank you for your concern, let her be her inner disciple of the Fragrance Peak, and be her ethereal hall master."
After listening to what Li Jian said, Zhang Xiaohu somewhat understood, presumably this arrogant Li Shizu regarded himself as an ethereal lobbyist from the moment they met, and whatever he said could only make him resist from the heart.
"Well, fortunately, before leaving, Xiaohua had already calculated with me, let's not talk about the matter of the chief disciple, if you say it now, won't people misunderstand their intentions?
So, Zhang Xiaohu gave a deep salute and said with a smile: "Master Li's words, the disciple has already brought them to Hall Master Yang. However, the disciple did not come this time for what the master said. ”
"Huh?" Li Jian was also stunned, and sneered: "How can there be anything to make Yang Ruping bother you, a descendant disciple, to come here?"
Zhang Xiaohu looked around, but he was a little cautious, and said: "Master Li, this matter is quite important, and the disciples are allowed to tell them alone."
Li Jianqi glanced at him and said, "I only have disciples of the Ethereal Sect here, and there are no disciples of the Ethereal Hall, you just don't worry, nothing will leak out." ”
Zhang Xiaohu still shook his head: "Please forgive Master Li, this matter is too big, disciple...... The disciple is also hiding from Hall Master Yang, and the others ...... Oh, only Uncle He of the Original Medicine Hall knows about this, it is my master, and I haven't said it yet, please think twice."
"Huh, Ah Hai doesn't know?" Then Li Jian was surprised and said, "Then I can't let Bai Mufeng go, who knows what you're going to tell me? A disciple of the Pharmacy Hall can know, but Wen Wenhai can't know a single disciple?"
Seeing that Li Jian was so stubborn and distrustful of himself, Zhang Xiaohu was also helpless, and only sighed: "Since Master Li doesn't want to know about this opportunity to revitalize the Ethereal Sect, then the disciple doesn't say anything."
"Revitalize the Ethereal Sect?" Li Jian looked incredulous: "Zhou Mufeng is a disciple of my Ethereal Sect, if even he can't be trusted, what else can I talk about Revitalizing the Ethereal Sect?"
