Chapter 7: Envy

Like last time, the return of Ding Qi and their unsuccessful teenagers was also in charge of Deacon Li. The only difference is that there is another member of the Qingyun Sect on the carriage this time.

This person's status in the sect is obviously much higher than that of Deacon Li. Even, it is higher than the Lord of the Guardian Hall and the Stone Protector. Because Deacon Lee had never been so respectful even in front of those two.

The children looked at this middle-aged man who was called Elder Guan by Deacon Li in awe, and no one dared to approach in the slightest. This Elder Guan has a rather ordinary face, but he always gives people a feeling that no one is close to. Let the children in the car, a little scared.

In addition to the highest head of the sect, there are also elders, Dharma protectors, and hall masters, who are responsible for the detailed management of the sects.

Elder Guan is the sect elder whose status is second only to the main and deputy heads.

Elder Guan didn't care about the children's attitude at all. Along the way, except for the occasional few words with Deacon Li, he had a cold face.

"If it weren't for this critical time for the change of the head of the house, maybe this kid would really be included in the inner door by the head of the sand family. Now, it can only be said that this son has no relationship with my Qingyun faction. ”

When Elder Guan first got into the carriage, he had looked at Ding Qi a few more times, but that was limited to that.

Since Ding Qi was no longer able to join the Qingyun Sect, he was just a stranger to Elder Guan and would not care much about it.

Then he began to think about other things.

"This time, the head of the competition is ....... Thinking of the recent competition for the position of head of the family, Elder Guan's eyes flashed again and again, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and then Elder Guan narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, and slowly closed his eyes like an old monk was in a steady state, only his body swayed slightly with the carriage.

As the carriage moved along, the children on the carriage continued to be returned, and by the next day, the carriage was close to Liangcheng, and the carriage became quite spacious.

At noon the next day, Ding Qi and the others finally arrived in Liangcheng and parked the carriage in front of the blacksmith shop.

Elder Guan first got out of the carriage and looked at the property that belonged to the Qingyun Sect. He came to Liangcheng this time, and he had internal affairs in his body. I came here just to take a look at it by the way, and turned Ding Shan into the person on the side of the deputy head of Sha.

In order to wait for the news of the assessment, Ding Shan has been in the courtyard behind the blacksmith shop for the past two days. Now he heard the sound of a carriage and hurriedly came out of the blacksmith's shop.

When he saw Ding Qi and Deacon Li appear together, and saw his nephew's ashamed face, Ding Shan already understood the result and sighed helplessly. Fortunately, after all, when he was young, he was out and about, and he was used to seeing wind and waves. Moreover, Yi Ding Shan knew the probability of not taking one out of ten in the inner door assessment, and he had already expected this result. After being slightly disappointed, he lifted his spirits.

Seeing Deacon Li get out of the car, Ding Shan planned to entertain Deacon Li a little, and then ask Ding Qi about what happened this time, but Deacon Li's next introduction temporarily made Ding Shan have no such leisure.

Walking in an outer gate like Ding Shan, it is naturally impossible to recognize people in high positions in the sect such as Elder Guan. After being introduced by Deacon Li, he was shocked to learn that the middle-aged man with an ordinary face in front of him was actually the sect elder who was second only to the head and deputy head of the sect. At the same time, I was also uneasy in my heart, and I didn't know why such an unattainable character would appear in front of me.

"Could it be that Xiao Qi has caused some trouble in the sect in the past few days?" Thinking of this, Ding Shan's heart trembled, and cold sweat suddenly broke out from his head.

Fortunately, after Ding Shan welcomed Elder Guan and the others into the door and figured out the intention of this big man, he was secretly relieved to know that it was not the bad situation he thought.

During this period, Ding Qi followed Ding Shan's instructions to bring tea and water to Elder Guan and others. In the past two days, Ding Qi, who has been on the road non-stop, is already quite sleepy, and Ding Qi, who just wants to have a good rest, feels very depressed.

During this period, Elder Guan inquired about the situation of Qingyunmen's industry in Liangcheng, and even mentioned whether there were people from Qingyunmen, using the name of the sect to ask for filial piety and other things, which made Deacon Li next to him break out in a cold sweat, and secretly congratulated himself that he did not accept the money bag sent by Ding Shan last time.

Deacon Li also knows that at the critical moment when the sect is competing for the head of the sect, the door is very strict about all kinds of filial piety and respect. Once it is found, there will be heavy punishments to be lowered.

It was with this in mind that Deacon Li did not dare to accept the thank-you gift.

The noon time passed quickly, and Master Li and Zhang Tao from the blacksmith shop also came back from lunch outside.

After learning Elder Guan's identity and saluting him, Ding Shan originally planned to let them stop for an afternoon and not strike iron, so as not to affect Elder Guan. However, Elder Guan said that he wanted to check the real operation of this blacksmith shop, so that the two of them could operate as usual.

Watching Zhang Tao skillfully light the fire, Master Li began to beat 'dang, dang', and Elder Guan squinted his eyes and watched with great interest.

Speaking of which, don't look at Elder Guan's look full of interest, watching Master Li forging pig iron, in fact, his mind was not put on it at all. At this time, Elder Guan was thinking about what method to use to knock Ding Shan and turn him into a person on the side of Deputy Sha Gang Leader.

If Ding Shan knew what this Elder Guan thought, he would definitely not accompany Elder Guan to check the operation of the blacksmith shop with a smile like he did now. I'm afraid that I will be so shocked that I will even have my eyes popping out.

"Huh!"

Just when Elder Guan was thinking about things and looking at the blacksmith table casually, as if something strange had happened, he frowned and sighed lightly.

Elder Guan's eyes widened, and he looked towards the blacksmith platform, and more precisely, at Zhang Tao, who was next to the blacksmith platform, with an expression of finding something incredible.

"Come here. Elder Guan shouted at Zhang Tao.

Hearing Elder Guan's voice, Zhang Tao was stunned, as if he thought he had heard it wrong. After all, in Zhang Tao's mind, it was impossible for a big man like Elder Guan to talk to him. Zhang Tao looked at Ding Shan and Master Li ignorantly, and saw that both of them were looking at him with urging expressions, and he also understood that Elder Guan was indeed calling himself.

Zhang Tao looked scared and walked towards Elder Guan.

Ding Qi, who was on the side, was also quite curious, and he didn't know what Elder Guan was doing when he stopped Zhang Tao.

Seeing that Zhang Tao was already standing in front of him, Elder Guan said in a rather eager voice, "Stretch out your hand." ”

Zhang Tao glanced at Elder Guan, who had an eager face, and finally stretched out his hand as instructed. Seeing Elder Guan's posture, Ding Qi still didn't understand what he was doing.

Elder Guan was clearly checking Zhang Tao's cultivation qualifications.

Ding Qi looked at Deacon Li with a strange expression, wanting to see something on his face. However, at this time, Deacon Li was also looking at Elder Guan with the same strange expression. Obviously, he didn't know what Elder Guan was up to.

"Could it really be the rare cultivation physique in the sect's records?" Elder Guan muttered in a low voice.

This inspection of Elder Guan's cultivation qualifications lasted for a long time, and it was enough to have a cup of tea. During this period, Elder Guan's brows furrowed from time to time, his face was happy for a while, sad for a while, and his expression changed frequently. Even, sometimes, looking at Zhang Tao's eyes, people feel as if they are looking at rare treasures.

"No, it's hard to tell in my experience...... But if it's really the kind of physique recorded in the classics handed down from the sect...... That's the big deal. It seems that it is necessary to let the head of Sha personally inspect it in the sect. Eventually, Elder Guan said to himself.

Having made up his mind, Elder Guan let go of Zhang Tao's hand. Tintzy, a childhood friend, withdrew his hand as if he had been pardoned, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Elder Guan's performance, which was quite strange in the eyes of ordinary people, had already made Zhang Tao feel very uncomfortable.

Next, at the signal of Elder Guan, Ding Shan sent Ding Qi and Zhang Tao to the backyard to play by themselves, as if to discuss something.

Zhang Tao, who was already a little inexplicably afraid of Elder Guan, was naturally very happy. Ding Qi, who doesn't like to serve tea and pour water, is also at ease.

In the backyard, when Zhang Tao learned that Ding Qi was defeated, he comforted him again and again. Ding Qi was able to look at this matter calmly, and he didn't pay much attention to it for a while. Due to curiosity, all of his thoughts were now focused on Elder Guan's strange behavior before.

However, an hour later, Zhang Tao was called to the front by Ding Shan again. Ding Shan and Elder Guan didn't know what to say to Zhang Tao, and half an hour later, Zhang Tao actually got into the carriage called by Elder Guan, and Elder Guan left Liangcheng in a hurry and rushed to Qingyun Mountain.

Not only did Elder Guan not have time to win over Ding Shan, but he didn't even have the right thing to do when he came to Liangcheng, so he left in a hurry, looking like he had something extremely important.

A few days later, the news came that Zhang Tao had become a more advanced core disciple than the inner disciple of the Qingyun Sect, which surprised Ding Qi for a while.

Later, Ding Qi figured out the general situation from his second uncle.

It turned out that in the classics of Qingyunmen, there was a strange martial arts training system called fire qi penetrating the body. With this kind of system, cultivating the unique martial arts of the Qingyun Sect will achieve great results. When Elder Guan came to the blacksmith shop and saw Zhang Tao fighting on the side, he gave him a feeling that the light of the furnace had faintly penetrated through Zhang Tao's body. This kind of scene is somewhat similar to the scene produced by the strange system recorded in the Qingyun Sect's classics.

At the moment, Elder Guan carefully examined Zhang Tao's system, and the more he checked, the more he found that Zhang Tao's system was extremely similar to the peculiar system in the record. However, Elder Guan was also unable to confirm this system, which existed only in the scriptures.

Eventually, Elder Guan brought Zhang Tao to the Qingyun Sect for verification.

The rest of the thing,

That's what Tintzy knows. After verification, Zhang Tao is indeed that kind of peculiar system, and because of this, he was exceptionally promoted to become a core disciple.

After learning what happened, Ding Qi sighed. For the first time in more than 10 years of his life, he had a sense of impermanence. has such an opportunity for Zhang Tao, which also makes him, the loser, envious.
