Xu Qingfan, you stay, I have something to say to you. To read the latest chapters, please lock in the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info"

Just as Xu Qingfan was following the other four people to retreat outside the hall, Zhang Hualing's voice suddenly sounded again.

Hearing Zhang Hualing's words, Xu Qingfan was slightly stunned, not knowing what he was going to say when he asked him to stay alone. The other four people also glanced at Xu Qingfan strangely after hearing Zhang Hualing's words, but they didn't say anything, just walked silently outside the hall, leaving Xu Qingfan alone in the hall, waiting for Zhang Hualing's questioning.

For Zhang Hualing, Xu Qingfan's feelings are very complicated. He still clearly remembers Zhang Hualing's unkind practices after his master's death, not only confiscating all kinds of magic weapons in Lu Huayan's relics for public use, but also confiscating Lu Huayan's former residence. At that time, Xu Qingfan's heart was full of disgust and dissatisfaction with Zhang Hualing, and he only felt that this person was hypocritical and greedy, playing with power, and did not have the demeanor of an immortal cultivator.

But as he has become more and more aware of the current situation of Jiuhua Mountain over the years, Xu Qingfan can't help but have a little more admiration for this Hualing in his heart. Recalling that Zhang Hualing has been in charge of Jiuhuamen for many years, although the things he has done seem to be extremely impersonal, they are all for the sake of Jiuhuamen. Under such a decline in the strength of Jiuhuamen, Zhang Hualing can still maintain the reputation of Jiuhuamen's holy land, and in recent years, Jiuhuamen has gradually had a revival trend, Xu Qingfan sometimes put himself in his shoes and thought about it, but found that if he was replaced by himself, he would not be able to do this anyway.

In this kind of disgusting and respectful feelings, Xu Qingfan stayed away from Xu Qingfan every time he saw him. Because Xu Qingfan really doesn't know how to face this Zhang Hualing,

But at this time, because of Zhang Hualing's words, Xu Qingfan stayed alone in the Linghua Palace. In the empty hall, only Xu Qingfan and Zhang Hualing were left for a while.

Zhang Hualing was still sitting quietly on the seat at the head of the hall. looked at Xu Qingfan, his expression was flat, but he seemed to be thinking about something. After hearing Zhang Hualing's words, Xu Qingfan silently walked back to the position where he was standing, waiting for Zhang Hualing to speak. At the same time, his brain was also running rapidly, constantly guessing the reason why Zhang Hualing left him.

Is it because of this newcomer competition? This idea was vetoed by Xu Qingfan as soon as it appeared, you must know that there are five disciples who participated in the newcomer competition, and the strength of Feng Qingtian and Jin Qinghan is above Xu Qingfan, if it is because of the newcomer competition, it is impossible to leave Xu Qingfan alone.

Is it because of the Southern Wilderness? This may still be vetoed by Xu Qingfan. Xu Qingfan only told Jin Qinghan and Liu Huaxiang about the Southern Wilderness, but neither of them was a mouthful person. And the people of the Ascetic Valley and the Qingxumen have rarely come down the mountain, and they rarely come to Jiuhua Mountain, so this matter should not have reached Zhang Hualing's ears.

Could it be because of Ting'er? Xu Qingfan suddenly thought of a possibility. I couldn't help but be slightly surprised. You must know that Xu Qingfan is the least conspicuous one among the five disciples who participated in the newcomer competition. Over the years, he has always been low-key in Jiuhuamen, and he has not done anything special except for going out and traveling down the mountain for a year. And the only thing that may attract Zhang Hualing's attention is Ting'er.

Xu Qingfan knew that he would not be able to hide Zhang Hualing from taking Ting'er to Jiuhua Mountain, so when he just brought Ting'er to Jiuhua Mountain, Xu Qingfan had already thought of the rhetoric and reasons, but no one in Jiuhuamen had asked about it in the past two years, so Xu Qingfan thought that Zhang Hualing didn't care about it, but he didn't expect that there might be an incident two years later.

saw the slightly nervous look on Xu Qingfan's face. A slight smile appeared on Zhang Hualing's tired face, as if he had seen through Xu Qingfan's thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, I didn't keep you because of your niece Ting'er." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Master. Xu Qingfan bowed slightly to Zhang Hualing and said.

Hearing that Zhang Hualing really mentioned Ting'er, Xu Qingfan was slightly shocked in his heart, but after hearing that Zhang Hualing was not ready to investigate deeply, Xu Qingfan calmed down, but he was even more curious about the reason why Zhang Hualing left him.

Zhang Hualing looked at Xu Qingfan and heard his words, and first showed a trace of surprise and doubt. Then he immediately regained his calm face. nodded with satisfaction, suddenly changed the conversation, and asked lightly: "Twenty years ago, do you still hold a grudge against me?"

Twenty years ago, Zhang Hualing was after the death of Xu Qingfan's master Lu Huayan. Not only did Lu Huayan's former ritual weapons and former residence confiscate. wanted Xu Qingfan and others to worship others as teachers, but at that time, Xu Qingfan bluntly refused. At this time, I heard Zhang Hualing suddenly mention this matter. Xu Qingfan couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, he didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, and after a slight silence, Xu Qingfan lowered his head and said slowly: "There is no hatred, but there is resentment." ”

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Zhang Hualing was slightly stunned, and then a trace of appreciation flashed on his face. He had thought that Xu Qingfan would admit or deny it bluntly, but he didn't expect to answer like this, it seems that Xu Qingfan has really matured a lot over the years.

Zhang Hualing looked at the disciple who was standing quietly in front of him, and said slowly: "Since you said so, I am also relieved. I don't want to explain anything to you back then, I just hope that you can do your best to win glory for your teacher when you are a newcomer. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Hualing's fingers suddenly flashed with a little purple aura, and he lightly touched Xu Qingfan, and then saw a burst of purple light flashing on the white robe on Xu Qingfan's body, and after a long time, the brilliance dissipated, and then looked at the white robe on Xu Qingfan's body, but there were three thin purple marks on the edge.

Looking at the changes in the robe on his body, Xu Qingfan was taken aback in his heart, and hurriedly said to Zhang Hualing: "Uncle in charge, I'm afraid that with the strength of a disciple, I can't bear such a heavy burden. ”

It turned out that the newcomer contest was not like the big competition in the door of Jiuhua Gate to compete one by one under the gaze of everyone, but by the six holy places to jointly negotiate a more difficult task, and then let those disciples of each faction who participated in the newcomer competition to complete it, and finally judge the ranking according to the speed and quality of the disciples of each faction to complete the task.

Because these tasks are more difficult, they need to be completed by the five disciples of each sect who participated in the newcomer competition. It is precisely because it requires five disciples to work together to complete the task, so a more capable person in this five-person group is needed as the leader to command the four disciples to complete the task. And the three purple marks on Xu Qingfan's wide robe are the symbol of this leader.

That's why Xu Qingfan was so surprised when he saw the changes in his robe. Successively

"Oh, then who do you say is more suitable?" Zhang Hualing did not have a look of surprise on his face after hearing Xu Qingfan's postponement, but asked lightly.

Hearing Zhang Hualing's question, Xu Qingfan just wanted to nominate Jin Qinghan, but he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and at the same time suddenly understood Zhang Hualing's thoughts.

If Jin Qinghan is allowed to be the leader, Feng Qingtian, who regards each other as fierce rivals, will probably feel uncomfortable in his heart at that time, even if he does not have the heart to be a leader before. On the contrary, if Feng Qingtian is the leader, Jin Qinghan will also feel uncomfortable in his heart. Not to mention, with the arrogant personalities of the two of them, it is hard to believe that they can have any good organizational skills. As for the others. Lu Qingshang is lazy and decadent, and Wang Qingjun is withdrawn and rarely spoken, which is not good material for being a leader. Let's put it this way. Among the five disciples in this newcomer competition, only Xu Qingfan can be the leader.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that he could no longer shirk, so he bowed to Zhang Hualing and said, "The disciple must do his best." ”

To be honest, Xu Qingfan didn't want to be this leader. Because he knows that his character is indifferent, he doesn't like to put such a heavy responsibility on himself.

What's more, this leader is not so easy to be, first of all, Xu Qingfan's strength is not stronger than Feng Qingtian and Jin Qinghan, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to convince the public when he becomes a leader. What's more. The five disciples who participated in the newcomer competition on behalf of Jiuhuamen this time, although their strength was outstanding, they were full of contradictions inside. Jin Qinghan and Feng Qingtian fought openly and secretly with each other, and ten years ago, Jin Qinghan seriously injured Lu Qingshang, I am afraid that Lu Qingshang also has resentment at this time, coupled with Wang Qingjun's withdrawn words, although this leader is glorious, he is probably a thankless position.

Seeing Xu Qingfan's expression, he looked calm. But there was a layer of worry and helplessness in his eyes. Zhang Hualing smiled slightly and asked, "Are you afraid that you yourself are not capable of leading others?"

Hearing Zhang Hualing ask this, Xu Qingfan also admitted calmly: "With the strength and prestige of the disciple, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. ”

"Actually, you don't have to be presumptuous, I have seen your progress over the years. Zhang Hualing said: "Judging from your experience of exterminating those demon cultivators with the monks of the Qingxu Sect and the Ascetic Valley in the Southern Wilderness, although your nature is scattered. But it is also decisive and witty. It is certainly possible to lead a few people to complete some tasks. At least have a little more experience than others. What's more, you can now preliminarily borrow the power of the Sycamore Branch, in terms of strength alone. Compared with Feng Qingtian and Jin Qinghan, they are not much worse, and their strength can also convince the public. ”

Hearing Zhang Hualing's words, Xu Qingfan was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that Zhang Hualing not only knew about his presence in the Southern Wilderness, but also knew about his own Wutong Branch. In a blink of an eye, Xu Qingfan guessed that these things were probably said by Uncle Liu to Zhang Hualing in the "Baicao Garden".

Because he is the only one who knows what he has in the Southern Wilderness and knows that he has the sycamore branch. And Uncle Liu was able to tell Zhang Hualing about these things, which shows that the relationship between the two is not shallow, but Xu Qingfan has never heard of it before. But Xu Qingfan didn't want to ask much about these elders, so he could only bow down again and say, "The disciple knows." ”

Seeing that Xu Qingfan should accept this matter, Zhang Hualing nodded slightly, then stood up from his seat and said to Xu Qingfan: "Let's go out, I'm afraid that the people outside are already waiting." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Hualing walked towards the outside of the hall first. And Xu Qingfan was also busy following him.

But the moment he walked out of the main hall, Zhang Hualing seemed to have inadvertently remembered something, and said lightly to Xu Qingfan: "That Wang Qingjun, it's not simple, you have to pay more attention this time, maybe you can see something." ”

Hearing Zhang Hualing's words, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Pay more attention to Wang Qingjun? Do you want to spy on Wang Qingjun yourself? Or do you want to protect Wang Qingjun yourself? Or do you have any secrets about Wang Qingjun? Although Zhang Hualing's tone was flat just now, and it seemed that he only mentioned it unintentionally, Xu Qingfan knew that Zhang Hualing's character must have a deep meaning when he talked about it at this time, but he just wanted to ask something, but Zhang Hualing had already walked out of the main hall and walked towards the disciples who were waiting for him outside the hall.

At this time, Zhou Huahai had already finished explaining the matters to be paid attention to when going out to the disciples, and the square was quiet. Obviously, they were all waiting for Zhang Hualing and Xu Qingfan, so when Zhang Hualing walked out of Linghua Palace, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at him. Then they all focused on Xu Qingfan, who was following behind, obviously curious about what Zhang Hualing and Xu Qingfan would say in the main hall.

When they saw the three purple marks on the ground on Xu Qingfan's white robe, everyone's eyes couldn't help but become surprised and puzzled, including those elders of Jiuhuamen, obviously Zhang Hualing asked Xu Qingfan to be the leader of this newcomer competition without discussing it with them.

The rest of the four people who were going to participate in the newcomer competition had different expressions, and although Jin Qinghan's expression was a little lost, it was more happy. Feng Qingtian snorted softly, and there was a faint disdain in his eyes. Lu Qingshang's expression was a little suspicious. As for Wang Qingjun, his expression was as flat as usual.

Although he was watched by everyone on the field. But Xu Qingfan had been thinking about what Zhang Hualing had just said in his mind at this time, but he didn't care, just silently walked to Jin Qinghan's side again. and glanced at Wang Qingjun intentionally or unintentionally, but found nothing.

After Zhang Hualing walked out of the Hualing Palace, he walked directly towards Lu Qingshang's master. After approaching, he said politely: "Senior Brother Hou, Senior Brother Zhou and I are going to take all the disciples to participate in the newcomer competition, after we leave, please pay more attention to the operation of the mountain protection array." ”

"This is natural, please rest assured, I will never have any problems here. Lu Shangqing's master assured.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Xu Qingfan finally knew the identity of Master Lu Shangqing. It is the third person in Jiuhuamen in addition to Zhang Hualing and Zhou Huahai. Hou Huawei, who is responsible for the operation of the Jiuhua Mountain Mountain Protection Array.

The name of this Jiuhua Mountain's mountain protection array is "Jiugong Array", which is extremely famous in the world of cultivating immortals. "Nine" is the extreme, and the "Nine Palace Array" is a composite formation composed of countless high-level formations, which is extremely powerful, and is distributed by the ancestor of the Jiuhua faction "Jiuhua Zhenren", after thousands of years of continuous improvement and addition of many masters of the Jiuhua faction, this "Jiugong Array" has become one of the best formations in the world of cultivating immortals.

For thousands of years, there have been countless crises during the Jiuhua Mountain Establishment.

+ Danger is the risk. Some people have even said, "If the 'Nine Palace Array' is not broken, the Jiuhua Gate is not defeated", so this "Nine Palace Array" can be said to be the foundation of Jiuhua Mountain. And eight hundred years ago. Jiuhuamen's strength has been greatly damaged. The reason why it was not annexed by other sects was because of Zhang Hualing's painstaking management. This "Nine Palace Array" is also indispensable.

It is precisely because of the importance of the "Nine Palace Array" that the elders who have been responsible for the operation of the "Nine Palace Array" in the past generations not only need to be extremely high-level, but also have a lot of research on the way of formation. They have a very high status in the Jiuhua Gate, second only to the head of Jiuhua and the Taishang Protector, and are known as the "Guardian Elders". It's just that because he needs to keep an eye on the operation of the "Nine Palace Array" at all times, the "Gate Guards" of the past dynasties rarely appear in Jiuhua Mountain, so that Xu Qingfan didn't know the identity of Master Lu Qingshang until now.

But now that he knows the identity of Master Lu Qingshang, Xu Qingfan takes it for granted. Because only the "Guardian Elder" who has a deep understanding of the formation method can teach a disciple like Lu Qingshang who is good at formations and spells.

And it is precisely because of this Hou Huawei's lofty status and responsibility for the crucial "Nine Palace Array" that Zhang Hualing will first deliberately settle him before leaving.

"Huh?"

Lu Qingshang, who was beside Xu Qingfan, made a sound in surprise after hearing Hou Huawei's words.

Seeing Lu Qingshang's surprised look, Xu Qingfan asked curiously, "Senior Brother Lu, what's wrong?"

Lu Qingshang frowned and said suspiciously: "Early this morning, my master told me that he would hand over the work of maintaining the operation of the 'Nine Palace Array' to the other elders, and he accompanied the head of the sect to watch me participate in the newcomer competition. But for some reason, I suddenly changed my mind now. ”

Seeing Lu Qingshang's somewhat disappointed look, Xu Qingfan comforted: "Or maybe Uncle Hou feels that the operation of the 'Nine Palace Array' is inseparable from him." After all, most of the elders in the sect now have to watch the newcomer competition, and the strength in the sect is empty, if Uncle Hou also leaves without presiding over the 'Nine Palace Array', it will give some people who have a heart an opportunity to take advantage of. After all, the big picture counts. ”

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Lu Qingshang's face improved a little, and he regained his previous lazy expression, and said with a smile: "I know, Senior Brother Xu don't worry. To tell the truth, when the master is here, he is not comfortable doing things, and he has to be controlled everywhere, which is very annoying. ”

At this moment, Zhang Hualing settled the other elders who remained in the Jiuhua Sect again, and then walked in front of the disciples in the square again, slowly glanced at everyone, but did not say anything more, but waved his hand lightly at everyone and said, "Go." ”

At the same time as Zhang Hualing waved his hand, several elders behind him pinched their fingers, and suddenly a huge white cloud appeared under everyone's feet, and under the gaze of the disciples and elders who stayed behind, dozens of elders and hundreds of disciples in the square flew quickly towards the outside of Jiuhua Mountain.

......

Watching Zhang Hualing and the others leave, it was not only the elders in the square who wanted to stay behind in Jiuhuamen. In a house decorated with Zhuang Hua on the mountainside, an old man in black was standing in front of the window, silently watching a large white cloud suddenly float on the square, and the figures on the white clouds were dense, flying into the air and quickly flying towards the outside of Jiuhua Mountain.

When the huge white cloud carried everyone away, getting smaller and smaller under the rapid distance of distance, and finally turned into a black dot until it disappeared, the old man sighed slightly and said faintly: "It's finally going to begin." ”

"Hiss~~~~ yes, our plans are about to begin. Hiss~~~" Just as the old man's words fell, a strange voice suddenly sounded from a corner of the room, the voice was evil and treacherous, with a hint of impatience.

Hearing this voice, the old man frowned slightly, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he covered it up in an instant, turned to look at the figure hidden in the shadows of the room, and said, "I remember that the person who contacted me a few times ago was not you. ”

"The original person, hiss~~~~~~~ has now followed Zhang Hualing to participate in the newcomer competition, and from today onwards, I will be responsible for the affairs of Jiuhuamen. Hiss~~~~" The strange voice sounded again, this time with a hint of pride. "And it doesn't matter if I'm the same as the person before me, hiss~~~~ because we are both servants of the master. ”

Hearing this man's words, the old man's brows furrowed again, and he asked, "Oh, did he also go with him to participate in the rookie competition?"

"Who is he? Of course he is a disciple of Jiuhuamen. Hiss~~~ As for why he also wants to participate in the newcomer competition, hiss~~~ Don't you want to be the head of Jiuhuamen?

"Hmph~!" The old man snorted coldly, turned around again: _The hideous and weird face in the shadow, and said slowly: "Although I want to be the head of Jiuhuamen, I don't want the strength of Jiuhuamen to be greatly damaged, I hope your master knows this." ”

"Hiss~~~ Didn't you plan this plan? Don't worry, hiss~~~ There will be no big loss in the strength of Jiuhuamen, and those who die are all Zhang Hualing's diehards. Hiss~~~"

"Hmph, while I have no problem with my plan, I don't know what your plan is. The old man said unhappily.

"Our plan is to fully match your plan. Hiss~~~ And then after you become the head of Jiuhuamen, take back my master's heart from your hands. Hiss~~~" If the old man in black turned to look at him at this time, he would find that the person hiding in the shadows had a hint of mockery on his face. "Besides, although my master has accumulated some dark forces in Jiuhuamen over the years, hiss~~~ but he can't shake the foundation of Jiuhuamen, hiss~~~ can't break through Jiuhuamen's 'Nine Palace Array', you know this. ”

"I hope so. The old man looked up at the morning glow on the horizon and said slowly.

......

At the same time, at the top of Jiuhua Mountain, an extremely old man was also watching Zhang Hualing and the others leave, his eyes were in a trance, and he seemed to be recalling some unforgettable memories many years ago.

After a long time, an unpredictable smile flashed across the old man's face, and he said softly: "Five hundred years, old friend, are we going to meet again?"
