Chapter 273: The puppet has no children
After Kunyangzi saw that Zhang Qian had put away the Biyou sword bag, the smile on his face became stronger and stronger, and he continued to tell him to be careful in everything, this posture completely regarded him as a quasi-son-in-law.
Zhang Qian accepted this slightly too courteous kindness, nodded, and then saw that it was not early, so he said goodbye and left.
Go out of the city and return to Mount Emei from the secret passage.
Pushing away the stone slabs full of prohibitions, Zhang Qian came out of the study, and the mysterious Taoist was resting on the edge of the table, his eyes slightly closed, and his gentle breathing and blowing carried a sweet and soft feeling.
The monk is energetic, and he only needs to sit quietly and breathe when he is sleepy, but the Xuanji Taoist has been busy for half a month, and now he is waiting for Zhang Qian, and it is not convenient to settle too deeply, the result is that he can't bear to be sleepy and fall asleep on the table, the drowsiness is very shallow, Zhang Qian's study walked a few steps lightly, she woke up, a little cramped and neatly arranged her scattered sideburns, or as calm and calm as ever, got up and lifted the teapot on the table and Zhang Qian got a cup of hot tea, a few elixirs were added to the tea, the fragrance was overflowing, and she handed it over casually, and then asked: "Did you get that batch of armor from Emperor Dongyue?"
Zhang Qian nodded, and threw a storage ring that had been prepared in advance to the Xuanji Daoist.
"Sixty sets of armor are among them, but they are a little too old, spiritually depleted, and it is not very convenient to drive. Zhang Qian explained slightly, naturally wanting to cover up the truth that this armor was freshly refined.
The Xuanji Daoist was a little nervous holding the storage ring, and quickly refined, and then his divine sense swept through it, and sixty sets of armor that were as black as ink and exuded a metallic chill appeared in his mind, and the nervousness gradually turned into surprise, as for what Zhang Qian said, she didn't pay attention to it at all, although the spirit of these armors was very weak, but the quality was extremely high. As long as you practice with your heart, in less than a year and a half, you can definitely re-breed the spirit of the machine, and the protective ability is also extremely impressive, the most important thing is that these armor clothes seem to be tailor-made, the Emei Sword Sect is the best in the world with swordsmanship, and the sword array is naturally first-class in the world, this trip is a large-scale sortie, and the sword array is inevitably commonly used.
She had always been worried that Zhang Qian had found him with different armors, and her disciples would not be able to master them completely in a short period of time. This affects the arrangement of the sword array.
Now it seems that there is no need to worry at all, these sixty sets of armor are all carved out of a mold.
In addition, the details are still a little rough, to say that the people who refine this armor are really strange, the materials are so willing, all of them are more than 5,000 years old dark iron, making the quality of these armor embryos incredibly high, but the engraved formation is outrageously rough. There are simply two formations, one for air control flight, and the other for providing simple isolation ability, which can resist the destruction of the body by strong winds during flight.
A magic weapon. The embryo body is equivalent to the furnace body, the formation is equivalent to the nerves and blood vessels, and the machine spirit is equivalent to the soul.
There's no reason to take care of one or the other, and these armors are not like what Zhang Qian said. It's been a long time, and it's all new, and there isn't even a scratch. There is no remnant of the divine consciousness left after the sacrifice of the predecessors, and these armors still have the unique iron smell after quenching, he has been staying next to the sword casting pool for the past half a month, she wants to vomit when she smells this smell, how can she not see that these armors have just been baked, her eyes involuntarily drifted to Zhang Qian, these armors will not be made by him asking Emperor Dongyue to rush out for days, thinking of this, I only feel shocked, if this is the case, Zhang Qian has done too much for her.
Although she was vague and confused in her heart, she felt that this person was suspected of being irresponsible, although she didn't need anyone to be responsible for her.
But a woman has a soft place in her heart, and she still hopes that Zhang Qian can be closer to her, even if she opens the skylight to talk brightly when no one is around, instead of talking to her seriously all day long.
"It seems that he doesn't care about me, he just doesn't like to say it. Xuanji Taoist naturally regarded everything Zhang Qian did as for her, and he had a faint liking in his heart, so he stepped forward and pulled out a chair for him, seeing that Zhang Qian was still hiding from her, he couldn't hold back the smile on the corner of his mouth, lowered his head and said softly: "You asked Emperor Dongyue to rush to make this batch of armor overnight, I'm afraid a lot of effort has been wasted." β
Zhang Qian was a little uncomfortable by his polite attitude, there was always a feeling of respect between husband and wife, he already had a ghost in his heart, leaning on the chair to signal him not to bother, sat down in a hurry, picked up the hot tea he had just handed over and drank it all in one sip, then heard her ask, suddenly felt a headache, and secretly said: "How can she see that this batch of armor has just been refined, fortunately I didn't guess that these armors were refined by me, otherwise how to explain it to her, let Emperor Dongyue continue to bear this matter for me." The expression on his face changed very quickly and naturally, and he shook his head and smiled: "It's not troublesome, it's just that this favor is owed." β
"Since you owe this favor to me, I can't let you pay it back alone, if Emperor Dongyue needs my help in the future, I will definitely try my best to help." Xuanji Taoist said with an oath.
Now that the gods of the earth are in trouble with the Daomen, it is not a good thing for Zhang Qian to owe Emperor Dongyue such a favor, so she also wants to pay off this favor for him as soon as possible, so as not to get involved in the whirlpool, and he will not hesitate to bring trouble to herself.
Zhang Qianyan smiled when he heard this, and he was not polite to him, and said with a smile: "If I can't afford to repay this favor, I will definitely find you to pay it back for me." β
"Hmm. Xuanji Daoren smiled and nodded.
"There's something else I need your help with. Zhang Qian was not hypocritical, all the resources that could be used at hand were used in place, and then he said straight to the point: "I will go to 100,000 mountains on this trip, you know why, Yangshan Xiaodongtian lost a lot of money in attacking the blessed land of Pingdu Mountain this time, there are not many people available in my hands, and trying to find that Yang Jiye is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack, so I need to use the power of your Emeishan Xiaodongtian, of course, you don't need to make a move, just pay attention to the movements of all parties for me, and let me know if there are suspicious clues." β
"It's just a gesture. The Xuanji Taoist nodded and agreed.
"Okay, then I'll go back to the small cave of Yangshan first, the Daoist Master of Tanglin is just afraid that he will be impatient to wait for me. Zhang Qian looked at the sky, it was already dark, and he was about to set off after the hour, and he couldn't delay it, so he didn't forget to tell him before leaving, "Those armors, you quickly put on the mark of your Emei Xiaodongtian." Let's just say that you have exhausted all your efforts in the past half a month to build, and you can make others doubt it or not, and you must not let people know the origin of these things. β
"Well, I understand. The Xuanji Taoist nodded, got up and sent Zhang Qian to the door.
The coachman of Yangshan Xiaodongtian has been waiting at the door for two days and two nights, and has been asking the porter when Zhang Qian will come out, obviously the Taoist master of Tanglin has been impatient to wait, so he sent him here.
As soon as the coachman saw Zhang sneaking out, he greeted him in a panic. He urged again and again: "Elder, the Dao Lord has been waiting for you for two days, let's go back to see him quickly." β
"Then I'll go first, and you will come back slowly after the car. "Now there are not many pedestrians on the street, and they are not afraid of exerting their magical powers to shock the world, with a wave of their sleeves, their bodies turned into an afterimage and disappeared on the street, but in a moment's time, they appeared in the Yangshan Courtyard, and the Donglin Daoist had a slightly calm face. I had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, and when I saw Zhang Qian descending from the sky, I asked, "What are you doing after staying in the Emeishan courtyard for so long?"
"It's fine. Let's discuss the plan for this battle. Zhang Qian smiled shyly.
The Daoist of Tanglin frowned slightly, and he was not angry with Zhang Qian, but his unpleasant expression was directly written on his face, obviously not treating Zhang Qian as an outsider. He was not treated as a lackey for driving only, otherwise he would be greeted either by a violent storm and a reprimand, or by a deep temptation by the city. seemed to have misunderstood something, so he was not very happy, but he didn't hide it, and said directly: "Xuanji's child is a good girl, but don't forget what is the right thing, this trip is not only to avenge Qingxuan's child, but also a chance for you to make progress, you don't take advantage of this opportunity, but you are nostalgic for your children's private affairs, what can you do." β
Zhang Qian was speechless, and he knew that the Daoist of Tanglin did not suspect him, so he didn't bother to explain anything, the more he smeared it, the darker and darker he became, if he was angry, it would not be beautiful, and nodded again and again: "What the Daoist said is true." β
"If you do it at this time, I will accept you as an apprentice, and when the time comes, I will ask for marriage to the small cave of Mount Emei for you, and it is not impossible for you to form a Taoist couple with the Xuanji Taoist. Seeing that he had a correct attitude in admitting his mistakes, the Lord of Tanglin Dao was a little less angry.
"Recently, I can't get lucky, a Kunyangzi wants to marry his daughter to me, and this Donglin Taoist master has also become a matchmaker and wants to propose marriage to me!" When Zhang Qian heard this, he only felt a pain in his head, if such a good thing fell on others, it would be too late to be happy, but he was different, because of his identity, he was now extremely reluctant to entangle with any woman, not to mention the obstacles, not to mention that these two people are still from the Daomen, and they are purely uncomfortable with themselves, but they can't complain about others, he is too unparticular about doing both things, and he is too much to help Kunyangzi, and the good man is just enthusiastic about doing that? As for the Xuanji Taoist here, in order to cover up the meeting with the gods and spirits of the earth, he stayed here for three days and three nights, and this Emei Xiaodong is innocent and does not accept male guests, not to mention staying overnight, plus the experience of the two of them living and dying together before, Zhang Qian sent it away with a word of talk, this Donglin Taoist is not a three-year-old child, how can it be so easy to deceive, it is natural to want to be crooked, in fact, to be honest, it is not considered crooked.
However, what should be explained has to be explained, but don't really give the whole thing about proposing, Zhang Qian smiled embarrassedly and said: "The Taoist master really misunderstood, I really have nothing more than thinking about the mysterious Taoist." β
"Are you sure?" Kunyoko didn't seem convinced.
"Of course, I'm sure I'm really down to business with her. Zhang Qian smiled bitterly.
Kunyangzi sneered for a while and said, "Then tell me what you have discussed." β
"To be honest, just because we sent these few people to search for Yang Jiye's traces, some of them are like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the possibility of success is not great, but I can also understand that after all, we lost a lot of people in the battle of Pingdu Mountain Blessed Land. Zhang Qian's words directly hit the sore spot of the Donglin Daoist, but he didn't get angry, just frowned, and motioned for him to continue, Zhang Qian nodded, and then continued: "So I want to ask the people of Emei Xiaodongtian to help, our two factions have been married for hundreds of years, the relationship is close, and they are the same family, there is no reason not to help, right, they want to send out more than 600 disciples this time, if they can help, it will be much easier to search for Yang Jiye." β
"They agreed?" The Daoist of Tanglin was a little surprised, the two factions of Emei and Yangshan had a close relationship, which was in the eyes of outsiders, and he knew better than anyone else in private.
"Yes. Zhang Qian nodded.
The Daoist of Tanglin was slightly surprised, and then asked, "Didn't mention any conditions?"
"Nope. Zhang Qian shook his head. puzzled: "Doesn't she still owe me the favor of saving her life, just let her resist in this matter, besides, then Yang Jiye almost took the life of the Xuanji Daoist at the beginning, she has no reason not to help." β
"Looks like I don't need to worry about this. Seeing that Zhang Qian had done things so properly, his heart was extremely happy, and with a wave of his hand, two young Taoist priests wearing cyan Taoist robes came in from outside the door, and saluted the Taoist Lord of Tanglin and Zhang Qian, and was obviously perfunctory when facing Zhang Qian. The Daoist of Tanglin will naturally not be harsh on these details, and he will never do anything that does not conform to his own identity, so he said directly to Zhang Qian: "The two children of Qingting and Qingshan will go with you this time, and they won't help much, so I will give you a hand, you are also my Yangshan Xiaodong Tiankeqing Elder, your identity is equivalent to that of the Fujun, and everyone around you is not like a word, by the way, I will follow you to mix up some credit." β
"Mixing credit, so that they can have their own foothold in the righteous path in the future, this is the primary purpose. It's pure. Zhang Qian immediately saw through the plan of the Daoist Master of Tanglin.
He doesn't care what the old guy has in mind, these two people are purely cumbersome and tied to him, and he naturally wants to get rid of this trouble.
"Dao Master. Let's be honest, it's not that they can't help me, thank God if they don't hold me back, these 100,000 mountains are extremely dangerous. The two of them have a good foundation, but whether they can do something on this trip depends on their strength. Do they have magical means and experience, in my opinion, if you can stay in Pengcheng, don't forget to stuff it in the 100,000 mountains, it's not good to fold inside, and besides, the poor road is used to being lonely, and there is no need for someone to serve you. Zhang Qian was completely telling the truth, but he didn't listen to it very much, and the Donglin Dao Master was a little embarrassed to listen to it, and the two parties were even more angry, but in front of the Donglin Dao Master, they didn't dare to be presumptuous.
The Daoist Master of Tanglin also knew that these two people and Zhang Qian's ass were not of much use except for adding chaos, but without some tempering, how could they become usable materials.
Now the disciples of Yangshan Xiaodongtian are not accepted, these two people have to go to the 100,000 mountains anyway, if they don't wait for a few years, after the older generation of Yangshan retires, the younger generation can't even find a character who supports the scene, Yangshan Xiaodongtian will only gradually decline, can force the two to Zhang Qian, and he is afraid that he will be emotional, and he will not be able to do anything when the time comes, as long as he is a little careless, these two people are in danger of their lives in the crisis-ridden 100,000 mountains, and there is just one thing that needs to be entrusted to the Taishang Taoist, using this as an excuse, presumably he can only accept it, and said: "No, no, they still have a task in their bodies." β
"I have to use them for any task, and I can't do it together. Zhang Qian said nonchalantly, and he was becoming more and more invisible to the Daoist of Donglin.
"I was going to entrust you with this matter, and you will definitely need their help when the time comes. The Taoist Lord of Tanglin said and took out a shiny stone from the cuffs, like a transparent crystal, but there was a person sealed in it, although it was reduced to only more than three inches high by the ring Sumeru magic circle, but the face was lifelike, the body was scarred, it looked very miserable, the eyes were open, but it was empty and godless, and after a closer look, there was a thunder flickering in the pupils, as if two huge clouds were constantly rubbing and colliding, and at the three inches of purple mansion under his chest, there was also a strange totem engraved, which looked a little evil, and this totem he actually knewγ
It turned out to be the mark that controlled the puppet in the "White Bone Heavenly Demon Sutra".
Zhang Qian only felt that his brain was dazed, he didn't know how the people of Yangshan Xiaodongtian could also use the spells in the White Bone Heavenly Demon Sutra, and who was this person?
Looking at the shocked look on the face of the Taishang Daoist, he also knew that he saw that the mark on this person's body was full of evil energy, and the Daoist Master of Tanglin explained slightly: "This spell is indeed not the righteous way, but it was accidentally obtained by my disciple Qingyangzi in a barren cave more than 20 years ago, it should be the method of the witch path in ancient times." "When Zhang Qian heard him mention the three words of Qingyangzi, he understood it in an instant, and shouted 'bullshit' in his heart, this "White Bone Heavenly Demon Sutra" was clearly taken by Qingyangzi from Chilianzi, what was accidentally picked up from the barren cave mansion, no wonder there would be a battle of life and death between Chilianzi and Qingyangzi, which directly led to the decline of Flame Hell Peak.
But of course he didn't debunk it, that Chi Lianzi was just his nominal master, and now he overthrew the Taoist system passed down by Chi Lianzi and re-established the portal, which has nothing to do with him.
He now wanted to know who the puppet mark was who it was.
Seeing that he didn't say much, the master of Tanglin Dao felt a little relieved, and he was afraid that he was a person who did not eat the ancients, and now it seemed that he should not have anything to do with it, so he continued: " Although this spell is an evil law, as long as it is used where it should be used, it is an authentic Taoist method, and the seal in this spar is the Xiaowei Mountain Tianzhan Peak Peak Lord Wushengzi, and now I have used this witchcraft to refine a puppet, you give this thing to the head of the Ziyang Daoist, he will use this thing to fight with the bull-headed ghost general, so as to avoid the head-to-head confrontation between my Yangshan Xiaodongtian and the Great Sage Yuanshen, greatly reducing the loss of strength. β
"No children?" Zhang Qian gasped, suppressed the panic and anxiety in his heart, and pretended to pat the horse calmly: "The Taoist master is a good means." (To be continued......)
