Chapter 105: In front of the Flame Hell Palace
More than 20 years ago, Chi Lianzi, the peak master of Flame Hell Peak, was beaten by Qing Yangzi of the small cave of Yangshan Mountain, and his body was damaged, and he was forced to sit on the life and death pass, sealing himself in the belly of Flame Hell Peak.
Since then, Infernal Peak has begun to decline.
Although the White Bone Dao people are in charge of the power of the peak master, they rarely care about the affairs of the peak, they only know how to ask excessively, and they act ruthlessly, and they do not think about the feelings of the same family.
In fact, it is also a helpless move, if it loses its position in the sect competition, the Flame Hell Peak will face the result of being banned, and there will be eggs under the nest?
It's just that people's hearts are selfish, who cares about you for so many complicated reasons, not to mention that the White Bone Dao people are also a little inappropriate in their methods of dealing with problems.
Therefore, for the few people here, the life and death of the White Bone Dao people are meaningless, and there is not even a trace of the sadness of the rabbit and the fox, and it doesn't matter who is the first, as long as the most basic right to survival can be guaranteed.
Zhang Qian acts brightly, does everything that no one can say, and has no intention of hiding it.
Although the words are a little subtle and tactful, they are just to cause unnecessary trouble, but the attitude is so clear that even a fool can figure out the information contained in it, and several deacons in the inner door already know it.
Of course, this matter is not easy to pick out, there is always a feeling of disobedience, and a few people just nod.
Zhang Qian didn't care about the attitude of a few people, glanced at Jiang Qin, and then said: "In the future, the White Bone Temple will be my cultivation dojo, and Wang Shu will sit in the upper council and handle the affairs of the peak for me, and everything else will remain the same, each performing its own duties, and I will not interfere too much, if you have any opinions, you can put forward them now." Jiang Qin is like a mirror, and he also knows that Zhang Qianqian is much gentler than the White Bone Dao people in some places, and he is very easy to get along with, the first to nod his head to express his understanding and support, and he started with him, and the rest of the people did not dare to object, and there was no need to object, but one of them seemed to have concerns, and asked tentatively: "What about the monthly offering?"
"What offering?" Zhang Qian asked incomprehensibly.
Hearing this, Xu Zhao hurriedly explained: "In the past, when the White Bone Dao was in the people, we had to hand over a certain amount of offerings every month, at least ten Gushou Pills. β
"I have no grace or virtue with you, and it seems unreasonable to ask for offerings, and I will be exempt from it in the future. Zhang Qian waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
In terms of his current net worth, this forty or fifty Gu Shou Dan per month is like a drop in the bucket, useless, and naturally he will not do anything that damages his value because of this, but from the standpoint of the disciples of the inner gate, this move is deeply popular, and ten Gu Shou Dan almost consumes most of their time and energy every month to collect, so that he can easily stabilize the situation, and no one has two minds. Zhang Qian is not enthusiastic about power, and naturally he is also interested in managing trivial matters, it doesn't matter to him whether a few people are sincere or not, just seek to understand the general situation, just don't give me any side effects, and then dismiss everyone.
Called the disciple to withdraw the few cups of tea on the table that had not been touched, and then took out ten bottles of Gushou Dan and threw it to Xu Zhao, and said: "I am now cultivating in a critical place, I have no time to be distracted, and all the trivial matters in the door are handled by you, but you should not be blindly keen on power, put the cart before the horse, turn your head upside down, and spend more time on cultivation in your spare time." β
Xu Zhao was a little excited at this time, but once he soared, it was inevitable that he would have such a thought.
When I heard this, I suddenly felt like I was poured a basin of cold water from my head.
He gently put down the teacup in his hand, was silent for a long time, and then took a sip of it, his hands were a little shaky, the tea was stained on his beard, but he didn't have the heart to wipe it, and sighed: "At my age, I have long known the destiny of heaven, and I have wasted so much hard work, I am satisfied to live for another twenty years, is it possible that I can still enter the realm of a hundred bones in my dying years? β
"How can you be sure that the future you see must be your future, and there are some things that are useless to say, and you still need to understand them yourself. All in all, in the future, if you focus on cultivation, I will provide you with material support to the greatest extent, you are extremely accomplished on the way to alchemy, you have never thought of entering the Grandmaster realm one day? Actually, I also have a little selfishness, I hope you can help me refine the pill for a few more years. Zhang Qian got up and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then said no more, and walked through the deep corridor into the quaint black stone hall behind the White Bone Temple.
It is the core of the Flame Hell Peak, the Flame Hell Hall where Chi Lianzi lived before his death.
The leaves are falling everywhere in front of the palace gate, it is clearly the middle of summer, but there is a bit of depression.
All the way along the mountain, there is a kind of crimson trees, with the hot warm wind on the mountain swinging wantonly, as far as the eye can see, it is like a sea of fire, magnificent.
In the open space in front of the palace gate, Zhang Qian found the white ape that was playing, the black eagle lazily curled up in the dead leaves of the forest, listlessly looking at the white shadow that jumped up and down, quite helpless, I thought that the same was a demon, there may be some common language between each other, how to communicate with him for a long time but like playing the piano to the cow, completely no rut, it stands to reason that this white ape has also cultivated into a fine, should have some spirituality, in fact, it is true, otherwise how can he get along with Zhang Qian so harmoniously, but when he tried to communicate with him, this white ape was like a mentally retarded child, he didn't understand what he said and did, and he didn't careγ
Even a young beast that has just come out of its mother's womb and opens its eyes is not like this, at least it has some innate instincts, such as fear.
But this white ape's heart is like a blank piece of paper, and I don't know if this is innocent, or if his mind is pure and full of paste.
Black Hawk had no choice but to give up his plan to communicate with him.
Zhang Qian walked to Black Hawk's side, glanced at him coldly, and said, "I told someone something, why did you come here in a blink of an eye?"
"It's no wonder that I'm here, it's this idiot who has to come here, and I have to take care of it. Black Hawk said weakly.
Zhang Qian naturally didn't really blame him for this trivial matter, but he was a little puzzled: "Why do you say he's an idiot?"
When the black eagle heard him, he flapped his wings and stood up, staring at him in surprise, as if he wanted to see if he was really stupid or fake, and asked tentatively: "You didn't notice that this white ape is a little abnormal?" After finishing speaking, seeing that Zhang Qian's eyes were still as calm as ever, he was helpless, and he lay down again, and lazily explained: "This white ape should have lived for more than forty years, and it still has a smooth coat. The pupils are clear, there is no sign of aging, and he must have taken a lot of elixirs, and he is considered a first-class spirit, but he has never been able to give birth to spirituality, and his mind is equivalent to that of a child, don't you think it's strange?"
"Isn't it normal that no one taught him the method of cultivation?" Zhang Qian shook his head, not feeling strange.
Black Eagle said: "My demon clan is different from you humans, the cultivation method is hidden in the nature of bloodline, as long as the spiritual wisdom is born, and then there is a certain opportunity to awaken." β
"It turns out that the white ape brewing is because of this reason, it should be a memory that has been passed down from generation to generation suddenly awakened, and it will not be comprehended out of thin air. Zhang Qian thought to himself in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just frowned slightly.
"With such an opportunity like him, taking countless elixirs, he should have cultivated spiritual wisdom as early as twenty years ago, and the ape's IQ is extremely high, and his cultivation speed is second only to that of people, if he was able to awaken at the beginning, he is probably much stronger than that Xu Zhao in the realm of cultivation now, but now he is still a line away from becoming a refined capital, according to the realm of your cultivators, it is equivalent to the realm of foundation building. Black Hawk said helplessly.
"Can it be ignited?" Zhang Qian frowned slightly.
Black Hawk was about to shake his head, but then he remembered something, and said, "You seem to be able to communicate with him, why don't you try?"
"My cultivation time is too short, my knowledge is shallow, and I don't know anything about the cultivation methods of demons, how can I ignite them?" Zhang Qian shook his head, and then stretched out his hand to pat Black Hawk on the back, and said in a serious tone: "I still have to ask you for this matter, after all, it is easier to communicate between demons and demons, and you know better than me about the cultivation methods of the demon clan, if you can ignite this white ape, I will not only return you to your free body, but also give you some other benefits." After that, without waiting for the black eagle to give an answer, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards the white ape playing in front of the palace gate. The black eagle who listened trembled all over, his mouth was bitter, and he didn't bother to explain anything, so he asked directly: "What if it doesn't succeed?"
"If you don't succeed, you won't succeed?" Zhang Qian turned his head and said very naturally, but he didn't know how much frustration Black Eagle had suffered from his previous intention to communicate with the white ape.
Black Eagle let out a long breath and felt a little relieved.
Zhang Qian walked to the palace gate, stopped, and looked up at the quaint and desolate hall.
The palace door is not closed, as if someone has just entered and has not had time to close, the black stone steps under the eaves are also exceptionally clean, there are no obvious fallen leaves and dust, and under the seven steps, it is obviously another completely different world, withered leaves are everywhere, piled up a thick layer, decayed and desolate, as if there is an invisible barrier, separating the inside and outside, so that people can't get close, and even the divine sense can't pass through, there should be a prohibition.
There was a pool of black blood on the top of the steps, and I don't know how many years it had been, like black old mud.
Zhang Qian closed his eyes slightly, as if he saw that twenty years ago, Chi Lianzi was seriously injured and dying, and stumbled back to this palace, and since then there has been no news, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead.
Just before the ban, the white ape scratched his ears and cheeks, but he didn't dare to take half a step closer to the steps, as if there was something in this palace that attracted him.
Zhang Qian didn't think it was strange, this white ape was extremely sensitive to all kinds of elixirs in the world, this black stone palace was the dojo of Chi Lianzi at the beginning, and this kind of collection was probably difficult to describe with the word rich, and he also understood in his heart that if he could open this dusty palace, he would probably get a lot of money, but it was a pity that now he thought about it in vain, the prohibition around the black stone palace was a pattern of its own, and the "Heart Void Refining Fire Technique" The several formations mentioned in the are different, you can't touch the slightest doorway, you can't crack it at all, and the formation is complex, the power contained in it is extremely powerful, even the divine sense is difficult to approach, and it is like a mayfly shaking a tree if you want to destroy it with brute force.
