Chapter 324: A Gift
The fierce wind whistled in his ears, and Su Cheng's face turned pale with horror.
Zhang Qian did not use his magic powers to protect him, the wind blew on his face like a knife cut, in this thousands of feet in the sky, the cold was also very strong, it didn't take long for him to cover his eyebrows with a layer of frost, making his face more and more bloodless, but he didn't make a sound from beginning to end, pursed his lips tightly, his heart was extremely tough, thousands of miles away, but only a quarter of an hour or two, when Zhang Qian fell to the huge square in front of Tianquan Peak, Su Cheng had no temperature all over his body, and he felt that his legs were trembling when he walked, in order not to make a fool of Zhang Qian, he also tried to keep his composure, looked ahead, and did not dare to look at the disciples of Tianquan Peak who came to supplyγ
"The Flame Prison Peak Lord has recently visited, and the Master has specially ordered me to wait here. β
Fang Xizhi was dressed in a clean Confucian shirt, with wide sleeves, a high crown of cloth shoes, and a simple long sword tied around his waist, which was quite ancient.
"Brother Xi, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed. β
Zhang Qian is not as polite as him, more free and casual, he and Fang Xizhi were led into the Xiaowei Mountain Cave by Qinghuai Daoist, and there was an intersection before, although it was just a general friendship, but a few words on the cloud boat, if you despise it, this friendship is really nothing, but it can be valued, and it can indeed be used as the cornerstone of the beginning of cooperation between the two sides, Fang Xizhi also figured out a little meaning from his title, aside from other factors, he actually admired Zhang Qian very much, listening to what the master said, he had been classified as not in the qualification selection at the beginning, that is to say, the starting point of his cultivation was actually lower than his own, but now the achievement is above himself.
Listening to his tone at this time, it seems that he wants to establish a friendship with himself, of course, he also has self-knowledge, Zhang Qian is not interested in him now, but Tianquan Peak behind him.
He didn't care about the details. The other party is now the lord of a peak, but he condescends to his peers, so he will never hold himself too high.
"Since I first joined Tianquan Peak, you and I have indeed not seen each other for nearly three years, and Your Excellency is now the master of a peak, but you have not yet become a teacher, you are very ashamed. Fang Xi's straightforward heart was free and easy, with a smile on his face, in this case, everyone would be jealous, but he didn't care at all. Dare to admit that he is not as good as Zhang Qian at present, and the person who can face his weakness is the real strong, jealousy is very boring and extremely useless in Fang Xizhi's opinion, with this leisure, it is better to learn more things that are beneficial to Zhang Qian.
"Brother Fang is just lucky to have not arrived. Zhang Qian smiled and asked Fang Xizhi to lead the way.
"Who is this little boy?" Fang Xi looked directly at Su Cheng, who was nervous but pretending to be calm behind Zhang Qian, and asked casually.
"Su Cheng, the personal disciple of Hai Toad, is now suffering from Bi Haifeng. There is a risk that the Dao system will wither, so I will help teach so that I can cope with the ten-year competition held by the sect next month. Zhang Qianhastily introduced.
Fang Xi suddenly slowed down when he heard this, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he turned around and asked, "Is the sea toad really injured by Yang Jiye?"
"Presumably, no son will not recognize the wrong person. Zhang Qian plucked himself out of it with a clever answer, and affirmed all this at the same time.
Fang Xi nodded straightly, and asked in a low voice: "That is to say, there is a feud between Su Cheng and Yang Jiye." If you teach him for Hai Toad, it is equivalent to cultivating enemies for Yang Jiye, so you are not afraid of thinking about you?"
"Brother Fang, have you forgotten. I already have a grudge against him?" Zhang Qian smiled lightly, looking unconcerned.
Fang Xi also remembered that when he lived temporarily in the Taoist Temple in the mountains, Zhang Qian had a conflict with Yang Jiye, if it weren't for the intervention of Qin Guan and Qinghuai Daoren, I was afraid that Yang Jiye would have died in the hands of Zhang Qian at that time, how could he still be today, but he didn't expect Zhang Qian to still think about it, but Yang Jiye is no longer the weak young man who was powerless at the beginning, and his identity is even more noble, Huangquan Demon Venerable is a disciple, Zhang Qian still wants to kill him to vent his anger, but I'm afraid it's not so easy, just listen to his tone It seems that his mind has been decided, and he can't help but make some mistakes, he is a smart person, why don't you know the key to choosing at this time, whether to have a relationship with Zhang Qian, this is a question worth ponderingγ
But after thinking about it for a long time, there is no decision, whether he says this matter or not, it depends on the wishes of the master, but as far as his current attitude is concerned, it should be biased towards Zhang Qian.
It's just that I don't know if Shizun knows that the contradiction between Zhang Qian and Yang Jiye has reached a point of endless death, and he is willing to get involved in this troubled water.
"Could it be that Your Excellency is still unwilling to let go of this old grudge?" Fang Xizhi frowned slightly.
"Haha, let's take one step at a time. Zhang Qian smiled casually and brought the topic over, unwilling to dwell on it more.
Yang Jiye is now in full swing, even if there are many indications against him, it is still difficult to shake, and showing his minions too early will only make people think that he is a moth to the fire, making some allies who could have been wooed turn away from him.
While the two were talking and laughing, they walked into the Dao Palace, and Chong Kazuko had been waiting for a long time.
"If you miss the distance, forgive me, forgive me. β
Chong Hezi was extremely casual, which made Fang Xizhi a little embarrassed, the master and Zhang Qian's peers argued, then he could only regard himself as a junior, and the two of them were discussing the affairs of the sect in the tone of the lord of a peak, so that Fang Xizhi couldn't interject even more, and the thirteen-year-old Su Cheng sat in the hall like two logs, extremely restrained, Zhang Qian glanced at it, and it was also more reasonable, and said to Su Cheng: " You follow Senior Brother Xizhi around Tianquan Peak, open your eyes, don't sit there like a log, by the way, you can ask him for some knowledge of magic powers, he can be the same as you, he has to participate in the ten-year competition of the sect. β
Su Cheng and Fang Xizhi were liberated by a few words, and after the two got up and saluted the two of them in the hall, they also left the hall.
Fang Xi Zhiben and Zhang Qian are the same generation, but now they can only treat each other with the courtesy of the younger generation, and there is no way to do it, Zhang Qian is now the master of a peak, with a noble status, and Chong and Zi are all equals.
"Sea Toad can have such a year-old friend as you, I really don't know if it is a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes, I thought that after Bi Haifeng suffered this catastrophe, he would inevitably wither, but I didn't expect you to help with righteousness, and even put aside the view of the door, and teach the disciples on behalf of Hai Toad, as long as Su Cheng's child can become angry, Bi Haifeng may really have a day to turn over. Chong Hezi also admired Zhang Qian's move. If he deliberately had a relationship with Zhang Qian before, he just valued his future, but at this time he was impressed by his virtue, Tianquan Feng could have such a benevolent friend, which was a blessing for his descendants, and it was also a worry for him.
"You're not afraid of offending Yang Jiye with this move?"
"Your Excellency and Wushengzi have been in constant contact recently, so you are not afraid of offending Yang Jiye?" Zhang Qianwan smiled and asked rhetorically.
Chong Hezi laughed and said, "My friendship with Wushengzi for hundreds of years will be divided because of Yang Jiye." Wouldn't it make people laugh out of their big teeth when it was passed on? What's more, the old man is also the master of the dignified peak, how dare he touch me?"
"I am also the master of a peak, what can Yang Jiye tolerate me?" Zhang Qian also laughed loudly, making Chong Hezi feel both helpless and happy, but Zhang Qian's words suddenly turned sharply, his voice was a little dull, and said: "The sea toad is also the master of a peak." β
These words will inevitably cause sadness in people's hearts, and they will not be able to laugh at once.
Although Yang Jiye can't do anything about it for the time being, this son has a poisonous heart. He should also have no scruples about the death hand under the sea toad, and after he succeeds to the position of sect master, his life may be extremely sad.
"Has the sect master reported this to the Huangquan Demon Venerable?"
Zhang Qian's brows furrowed slightly. That day, Xiao Yunzi gave him a gag order, telling him not to spread the truth of this matter unexpectedly, for fear of causing a bad impact, but now this matter has spread in the relevant small circles. But there was no movement on it, as if nothing had happened, which was definitely not a good sign for Zhang Qian. At this time, I couldn't help but ask Oki Kazuko.
"A few days ago, the sect master went to the Black Cloud Palace, but Yang Jiye was seriously injured and has been in retreat, the two sides cannot confront each other face-to-face, and there is no conclusive evidence, so this matter has been put aside for the time being?" Chong Hezi looked helpless, but his brows became more and more furrowed, and he sighed: "In fact, the Demon Venerable is also deliberately dragging out, and when Yang Jiye wins the top spot in the ten-year competition and is in the limelight, these negative accusations will naturally become insignificant." β
"Yang Jiye won the first place and became the master of a peak, the next step is to become the new sect master of Xiaowei Mountain, when he is in power, who will dare to disadvantage him?" Zhang Qian said with a dry smile.
"Demon Venerable is also thinking about this, he has put too much effort into Yang Jiye, how can he tolerate his own personal disciple ruined by a little flaw in his conduct? With the strength and strength that Yang Jiye currently has, it is an unshakable fact that the sect has won the first place, alas...... It's going to be hard for us old guys. Chong Kazuko also knows the dangers involved, but there is no way to stop it, and he can't force the palace now.
"It's not that there's no way to stop it. Zhang Qian's eyes closed slightly, as if he was hiding a trace of aura, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "With me, it may not be so easy for him to win the first place." β
"You are now the master of a peak, is it possible that you also want to participate in the ten-year competition?" Chong Hezi was surprised when he heard this, and always felt that he was suspected of bullying the weak, this feeling was like a group of children playing games with wooden knives and swords, and suddenly killed a big man with a plate axe, which was very nondescript, after all, he didn't put Zhang Qian and those young disciples together in his heart now.
"But don't forget, I've only been in the school for three years, and I'm fully qualified to participate in the Sect's Ten-Year Competition. Zhang Qian defended himself.
Oki Kazuko was speechless for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, this is the only way to stop the situation from deteriorating.
And this pondering, it also seems that he also understands some things that have not been explicitly said, Zhang Qian is now the master of the first peak, why should he participate in the ten-year competition? Just to obstruct Yang Jiye? Why does Xiao Yunzi take good care of Zhang Qian, and praise him? On the other hand, he has a hostile attitude towards Yang Jiye, and nine times out of ten Zhang Qian is the successor that the sect master has cultivated for himself, and the inheritance of the head of the family by Zhang Qian is more than a hundred times better than that inherited by Yang Jiye, if the matter is done, Tianquan Feng will also benefit completely, why not vigorously support it? Although he had thought that Fang Xizhi would also have the opportunity to compete for the sect master, with the birth of the two demons, Yang Jiye and Zhang Qian, he no longer had any extravagant hopes.
After thinking about it for a while, he made up his mind and nodded: "As long as you can grab the top spot from Yang Jiye, Lao Yu and the others will definitely support you to succeed to the position of sect master." β
"Thanks to my predecessors. Zhang Qian thanked him, since Chong Hezi had understood his intentions, there was no need for him to hide it, and he directly expressed his gratitude.
"You are here to succeed the sect master, we old guys are still more at ease. Chong Kazuko nodded, also a little worried: "But you must win the first place, otherwise we old guys won't be able to help you." β
"Seniors rest assured. Zhang Qian smiled casually, and then changed the topic: "Brother Xi should also participate in this sect's ten-year competition, right?"
"Hmm. Oki Kazuko took a sip of tea. nodded and said: "But I don't have much hope for him, he can enter the top ten and keep my Tianquan Peak's reputation from falling." β
"If Brother Xi's natal flying sword can be refined, the top five should be very promising, this is to blame me, I missed the big thing of my predecessors. Zhang Qian apologized slightly, which made Chong Hezi slightly displeased, and was about to ask him not to mention it again, but saw him take out a fist-sized orb from his sleeve, and the faint blue halo circulated in the orb. As if the angry sea was turbulent, this square inch of the pearl could be glimpsed into the ocean, Chong Hezi was wondering, what a strange treasure this pearl was, and he couldn't hold back his curiosity, stretched out his hand to touch it, the jewel suddenly shook, and the majestic Jindan vitality swept away like a tide, only forcing his whole person back two steps.
At the same time, an earth-shattering hiss seemed to echo in the depths of his mind. The fierce and violent aura makes people's hearts shake, and they can't be at peace for a long time!
"This is the Inner Pill of an Ancient Fierce Beast?" Chong Hezi was a person who knew the goods, and immediately recognized what the orb in Zhang Qian's hand was.
"This Neidan was obtained by killing a kun fish, and it should be regarded as a little intention for me to make up for the loss of my predecessors. Don't shirk. Zhang Qian presented the orb with both hands.
Chong Hezi didn't dare to answer, stared at Zhang Qian for a long time, and always maintained an expression of disbelief, after a long time. Only then did he speak: "You really killed this kun with your own hands?"
Zhang Qian nodded, and Chong Hezi didn't continue to ask, but forcibly accepted Kunyu Neidan with his inner turmoil. The amount of information in this sentence is too great, how fierce is the strength of the kunyu that forms a Neidan? He is naturally clear, Zhang Qian was able to kill it with his own hands, which shows that his strength is far more terrifying than what he is showing now, and it is unknown what realm he has reached, but it will never be just the late stage of the realm of Qi Xing Zhoutian, and Kunyu is only available in the boundless sea, according to Zhang Qian, he has been hiding in Shuzhou for the past two years, but the facts are obviously very different from what he said, there are too many secrets in this person, but he is not only revealing his style to himself, but he trusts himself.
If he is entangled at this time, he wants to break the casserole and ask to the end, he is really too bad at dealing with people.
The stronger Zhang Qian's strength is, the more beneficial it will be for him, he was a little worried about whether Zhang Qian has the ability to stop Yang Jiye, but now he is not worried at all, and he is more determined in his position.
This Kunyu Neidan is not only a human relationship, but also a reassuring pill.
After the things that should be done were done, Zhang Qian had no intention of staying in Tianquan Peak, so he excused himself and left, "Next month is the day of the Zongmen Dabi, that kid in Sucheng doesn't know anything about supernatural spells, I have to hurry up and train him, otherwise there is definitely only the bottom of the Dabi, and the negative person is not good, so I will leave first." β
"Well, I will entrust someone to take care of Bihai Peak, and I won't let those who take advantage of the fire to rob have a chance. Chong Hezi also expressed his heart slightly, and then personally sent Zhang Qian away.
Fang Xi waited until Chong Hezi went and returned, and when he saw his expression, he also knew that what he was worried about had happened.
"Master, the dispute between Zhang Qian and Yang Jiye, we should stay out of it. Fang Xi waved his hand to let the deacon who had cleaned up the refreshments on the table step back first, and then he spoke out his worries.
"How did this become a dispute between Zhang Qian and Yang Jiye?" Chong Hezi didn't react.
"Shizun may not know that this potential mundane world has a life-and-death enmity with Yang Jiye. Fang Xizhi told Chong Hezi what he knew.
"I'll just say why he is so eager to be a sea toad and have no children, it turns out that he and Yang Jiye didn't deal with each other in the first place, but just used this matter to challenge Yang Jiye. Chong Hezi suddenly realized, but he didn't take this matter to heart, Yang Jiye was in great danger to him, Zhang Ji could deal with this person, as for what motive it was, it didn't matter, he also considered and arranged with Fang Xi directly, "He only needs to defeat Yang Jiye in the sect competition, and we are pushing him to succeed to the position of sect master, so as to prevent Yang Jiye from monopolizing power, you should know what kind of predicament my Tianquan Peak will fall into if this person inherits the position of sect master, Zhang Qian may have some selfish intentions, but it doesn't matter." β
"What if he killed Yang Jiye directly in the sect big competition in order to vent his anger?" Fang Xizhi didn't dare to blink his eyes.
Chong Hezi was stunned when he heard this, and then waved his hand and laughed.
If Zhang Qianzhen killed Yang Jiye above the sect competition, he would inevitably anger the Huangquan Demon Venerable, and it was not difficult to imagine how serious the consequences would be, Tianquan Peak would definitely be dragged into the water by him.
But is it necessary for Zhang Qian to do this? He only needs to snatch Yang Jiye's first place, and he can take his place, and have the qualifications to inherit the position of the sect master, of course, whether it can be successful in the end is two different things, and there is not much chance of it, even if he and others strongly support it, but Huangquan Demon Venerable will definitely not like this person who destroys his arrangement, but Yang Jiye does not have this qualification, and the goal is achieved.
Moreover, on the day of Dabi, the three demon venerables will pay attention in the dark, and Zhang Qian is now killing people under the noses of the three demon venerables, and there is basically no possibility of success.
Zhang Qian's strength is terrifying, but Yang Jiye is not a mud nirvana, after all, he is a human immortal who has cultivated into a golden pill. (To be continued......)
