Volume 52 Chapter 12
The cart pulled by Flying Lizard was not heading towards the bustling core area of Dragon Emperor City, but was heading outside the city. ?
The speed of the car was neither fast nor slow, and it was fairly stable, but it had been swaying for nearly two hours, and it was almost evening before finally sending Zhang Tie and the others to a manor at the foot of a mountain east of Dragon Emperor City.
The area of the manor is very large, leaning on a lush mountain, facing the manor, there is a river, and on the other side of the river is a village. Large tracts of farmland.
After getting out of the car, everyone looked at the manor in front of them, and the smoke curling up from the houses in the villages and towns across the river in the distance, and everyone was still in a daze.
And when everyone was in a daze, an old man drove a group of sheep down the hillside, and just passed by the small road in front of the village, the sheep passed by, leaving a field of fresh sheep dung, like a field of black pine nuts Same.
Because of the different mentality, even if Zhang Tie came here, everything was very interesting to see. There was nothing awkward in his heart. Instead, it was the Liu family brothers. Zhang Tie almost couldn't help laughing just looking at the expressions on their faces—— ——The expression on the faces of those who were pulled into the tour group by the black tour guide and found out that they couldn't leave the group after being cheated, the expression on the faces of the Liu family brothers is similar.
A water god general in a white robe with seven red dragon patterns on the cuffs and a rigid face was standing on the steps of the gate of the manor waiting for Zhang Tie and his party. But he didn't mean to come over, he just glanced here with his eyes.
"Hallmaster Huang, this is Feilongzhuang. I can only send everyone here. If there is nothing wrong with Hallmaster Huang, then I will go back and return..." The little deacon who sent Zhang Tie and the others here said goodbye to Huang Baimei.
"Okay, I'm sorry!" Facing this ordinary temple deacon, Huang Baimei squeezed out a peaceful smile on his face, "I want to ask, before the Dragon Emperor City received the selection from the Dragon Emperor Temples of various domains and sent them to the Dragon King. How are the kamikaze halls in the imperial city participating in the temple competition?"
"Don't you know, Master Huang? I heard that in order to raise elemental crystals to cope with the current situation, several kamikaze halls in Dragon Emperor City have been sold to Wa Palace by the elders..." The little deacon wanted to say something, but Glancing at the man in the white robe in the distance, he hesitated for a moment, and then he didn't continue, "Other things, as long as Palace Master Huang stays in Dragon Emperor City for a while, he will understand..."
"Thank you!"
"Farewell!"
The deacon drove away again, Huang Baimei glanced at Zhang Tie and the others, and led them to the gate of the manor.
"Wait, are you Huang Baimei and his party from Tianfang City in the Nine Heavens?" Waiting until Zhang Tie and the others came in front of them,
That person opened his mouth indifferently.
"Not bad!" Huang Baimei said calmly.
"Then come with me!" As he spoke, the man turned around and walked into the manor, Huang Baimei took the lead, and the others followed Huang Baimei into the manor.
"These days, you live in Feilong Manor. The work and rest in Feilong Manor is no different from that in the temple. You have two meals a day in the restaurant of the manor. You don't eat after noon. Each of you has a room. The generals of the Dragon Emperor Temple, please remember the prohibition of rewards and punishments of the temple. If there is an offender in the Dragon Emperor City, the punishment will be doubled! Another point, this Feilongzhuang has now settled some people who returned to the Dragon Emperor City from other domains Among the generals, it is strictly forbidden for the generals to fight here, and if found, they will be severely punished." The man said coldly, then turned his head, and glanced at the faces of Zhang Tie and others with warning eyes , Seeing the seven silver dragon patterns on Zhang Tie's cuff, he frowned slightly.
"Mr. Leng, where is this bird man from? Why does it feel like we owed him a lot of money in our previous life..." Zhang Tie asked Leng Manxue directly via voice transmission.
"Supervisor!" Leng Manxue responded to Zhang Tie's three words in a straightforward manner.
This is the Supervisory Academy? Zhang Tie shook his head, no wonder he was so awesome, he was so indifferent to everyone.
There were some servants and other characters in the manor. When they saw Zhang Tie and his group coming, they quickly avoided them, saluted at the side, and waited for Zhang Tie and his group to pass by before they dared to raise their heads again and walked in again. Go to the walkway in the manor.
Looking at this appearance, Zhang Tie knew that the hierarchy in Dragon Emperor City was strict and the rules were very strict, even worse than that in Tianfang City.
While talking, the man in the white robe brought Zhang Tie and the others into a yard. As soon as they entered the yard, Zhang Tie and the others heard the sound of things being smashed from a room in the yard, and then It was a person who scolded, "What kind of place is this? There is not even a separate training room. I didn't come here to suffer punishment when I joined the Dragon Emperor Temple, and I didn't come here to see people's faces. Grandma, we are all here!" It's been five days, I don't care about it, the errands have not been settled, and I can't enjoy any cultivation resources except ten elemental crystals every month. What does this mean? Willing to join..."
While talking, a ferocious bearded general slammed the door and came out of one of the rooms. He just ran into Zhang Tie and his group. When he saw the supervisor When he saw the white-clothed general in the courtyard, he was stunned for a moment.
The white-clothed god general of the Overseer looked at that person coldly, "If you damage the property of the temple, you will be compensated ten times. The compensation will be deducted from your salary of the elemental crystal in the temple. If you betray the temple after joining the temple, Even if you can survive the blood oath against you, you still cannot escape the pursuit of the Dragon Emperor Temple!"
After saying this, the white-clothed general of the Supervisory Academy ignored the fierce general, and led Zhang Tie and the others through the courtyard to the nearby courtyard, leaving the fierce general with his face flushed red. , standing there in embarrassment.
Pass through this yard, bypass a pond, and arrive at the yard where Zhang Tie and the others live.
Zhang Tie’s yard is not big or small. The whole yard is only 1,000 square meters. It is divided into upper and lower floors, with more than ten rooms. There is a pool, and there is a character like a steward waiting in the yard. The white-clothed god general of the Supervisory Academy explained a few words to the steward, and the steward gave Zhang Tie and the others a room key, and then returned just left.
Zhang Tie held the key and turned it around in his hand, shaking his head slightly. This kind of courtyard is fine for ordinary people, but it is not suitable for god generals. The simplest point is that god generals need a safe and hidden cultivation environment. , The room in this courtyard is obviously not suitable. There is no isolation and protection measures in the room. No one can rest assured to practice meditation here. Once disturbed, something bad might happen. No wonder that person will get angry.
"Zhang Tie, come to my room. I have something to discuss with you!" Before Zhang Tie answered his room, Huang Baimei's voice came from his ears. Zhang Tie had to follow Huang Baimei to Huang Baimei's room. inside the room.
When he came to Huang Baimei's room, Zhang Tie happened to see Zhou Baifei, who was the first to get the key, circled around and caught up with the white-clothed general of the Supervisory Academy outside the courtyard. He was talking to that person with a smile on his face. talking about something.
Of course, even if Zhang Tie didn't want to eavesdrop, even if Zhou Baifei and the general were talking through sound transmission, Zhang Tie would still be able to understand.
Just like that, Zhang Tie came to Huang Baimei's room while listening to Zhou Baifei's words.
"sit down……"
When he came to the room, Huang Baimei took a look at the room, and found a chair to sit down.
"Master Huang, don't be polite to me, just talk to me if you have anything to say..." Zhang Tie also smiled, and sat down generously on the chair next to Huang Baimei.
Huang Baimei glanced at Zhang Tie apologetically, pondered for a moment, and then directly communicated with Zhang Tie using the technique of sound transmission, "The current situation in Dragon Emperor City is a bit beyond my expectation. The five elders and the two chief protectors of the Temple Presbyterian Church are busy practicing now and want to advance to the rank of Primordial General, so...so...the atmosphere in Dragon Emperor City is a little...a little delicate..."
Zhang Tie pretended to be surprised, "I don't know what the subtlety that Dianzhu Huang meant?"
"The five elders and the two chief protectors are all Vulcan Generals. Within a hundred years, as long as one of them advances to the rank of Primordial General, that person will become a Divine King and inherit everything in the Dragon Emperor Temple!"
Zhang Tie looked suddenly enlightened, "I understand, what Huang Dianzhu meant is that the relationship between the five elders and the two chief guardians of Dragon Emperor City...is not harmonious..."
"Hey, who would have thought that the Dragon Emperor City would become what it is now in just a short period of time!" Huang Baimei sighed helplessly, "Last year, the Dragon Emperor City was not like this, the five elders and the two chief protectors The relationship between you and me is not so tense yet, everyone is still working together, the Dragon Emperor Temple has changed a lot in the past year, you are a smart person, you should know what I mean!"
"I understand!" Zhang Tie also sighed. For such a large organization as the Dragon Emperor Temple, the Dragon Emperor disappeared, and all of the dragons suddenly had no leader. The Dragon Emperor Temple will be swallowed by other forces and temples outside who open their bloody mouths. No one will be lucky, and I am still worried that the Dragon Emperor will come back one day and it will be difficult to explain. Maybe the elders of the Dragon Emperor Temple and The semi-sages like the chief protector have long been competing with each other. Baguio City, where the Star Emperor Temple snatched the Dragon Emperor Temple, was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The huge external pressure not only guaranteed the safety of the Dragon Emperor Temple. It is basically stable, and the interior of the Dragon Emperor Temple began to divide. Those elders and chief protectors began to have their own plans. It is strange that Dragon Emperor City can still run smoothly...
"I haven't officially reported your matter in Tianfang City to the elders of the temple. Originally, the trophies of the Zi family should be shared with you, but I think it is better to have one less thing at this moment. Let the elders know about this matter, elders If you have different thoughts, maybe there will be some side issues, which may not be a good thing for you, so..."
"Thank you, Master Huang, for your maintenance. It's just a bit of worldly wealth, which means nothing to me. The matter of Tianfang City is over, and I won't take it to heart!" Zhang Tie said sincerely, without any perfunctory, because he knew Huang Baimei His worry is not unreasonable, and he himself does not want what he did in Tianfang City to make many people in the temple know that there are too many people participating in the game in the Dragon Emperor Temple, and the most complicated and unpredictable thing is the human heart , What I did may be good in the eyes of some people, but not in the eyes of others. Zhang Tie did not want to be a pawn of those people.
"It's best if you can think like this!" Huang Baimei smiled gratifiedly, "I really didn't see the wrong person!"
"Originally I thought about joining the Dragon Emperor Temple, and I could do something in the Dragon Emperor Temple, but now it seems that the situation of the Dragon Emperor Temple is more complicated than I thought!" Zhang Tie smiled wryly, "Since The Dragon Emperor Temple is like this now, we don’t seem to be welcomed here, so why did the Dragon Emperor Temple decide to recruit gods in the Nine Heavens?"
"The Dragon Emperor's Temple is now in a precarious state. Originally, the meaning of the Presbyterian Council was to recruit more generals after the Dragon Emperor's Temple retreated to defend the Dragon Emperor's Domain, and to cooperate with them to practice a thousand-strong formation to protect the Dragon Emperor's Domain. An Wei, but in the past few days, Elder Shi, who is in charge of the Great Array Disk, has other ideas, and the other elders disagree, and all parties cannot compromise, so everything in Dragon Emperor City is a bit chaotic now!"
Zhang Tie shook his head, and suddenly asked a question, "Is Palace Master Huang going to stand in line between the elders and the two Chief Protectors? I think people familiar with Palace Master Huang will come to find Palace Master Huang before tomorrow... "
Huang Baimei's body shook slightly, and then his eyes flashed, looking at Zhang Tie, and Zhang Tie looked at him with a smile, and the air in the room suddenly became quiet.
After a while, all the light in Huang Baimei's eyes converged, and he smiled bitterly, "It seems that nothing can be hidden from you, if I tell you that I don't know what to do now, I haven't thought about it yet, I don't know if you believe it Do not believe?"
"I believe!" Zhang Tie nodded, "Dianzhu Huang, you should have belonged to the centrist faction loyal to the Dragon Emperor in the temple, and you were not too close to the elders and the two chief protectors. I will throw you to the Tianfang City in the Nine Heavens Region far away from the Dragon King's Realm, and it will last for many years. The Dragon King's Temple is like this now, and Palace Master Huang is in a complicated mood, and he hesitated for a while, which is understandable!"
"If you were me, what would you do?" Huang Baimei asked Zhang Tie a question.
"At this time, if you choose to stand in line and stand next to an elder, you will naturally be taken care of by the elder's forces, but at the same time, you will be suppressed by other elders. If you don't choose sides, no one will be offended, but it will not let anyone People like it, if I were Huang Dianzhu, I would choose the last one, regardless of what they were like before, and what they are now!"
"why?"
A disdainful smile appeared on Zhang Tie's face, "A group of swarms of dogs and dogs, the Dragon Emperor has been missing for nine hundred years, and I have never seen them advance to the rank of Yuanshen general, and I have not seen one of them emerge to kill the others. Press down, twist the Dragon Emperor Temple into a rope, such a group of people, even if they are given another hundred years, even if they all advance to the rank of Yuanshen generals, so what, the masters who face the emperor's blow are all Tujiwagou, if you hang out with these people, the future is really not going anywhere. If this is the case, why waste your energy? It's better to jump out of this circle and find a place to practice with peace of mind. No one depends on it. Rely on yourself, even if you want to rely on someone in the future, you should find someone who has a future, and others will feel clean when they look at you!"
Zhang Tie's words made Huang Baimei speechless for a while, and he couldn't speak directly. After a while, he asked Zhang Tie a question, "Since you are so pessimistic about the future of the Dragon Emperor Temple, why did you join the Dragon Emperor Temple?" Temple?"
Zhang Tie shrugged, "I joined the Dragon Emperor Temple by coincidence. It happened that the first city I came to after I lost my memory was Tianfang City. It happened that there was Dragon Emperor Temple in Tianfang City. It happened that I was not familiar with the place where I was born. Therefore, Just join in, it’s not bad to have an organization, and I really didn’t think about getting anything from the Dragon Emperor Temple. If I arrived at Tianfang City a few days later, I might have joined the Qilin Temple now. And if I had arrived in Baguio City at that time, I might have joined the Star Emperor Temple... Maybe this is God's will!"
"If the Dragon Emperor Temple disappears in a hundred years..."
"Then just disappear. Without the Dragon Emperor Temple, many gods and generals in the Dragon Emperor Temple will not be buried for the Dragon Emperor Temple. There will be other ways out. There will be other temples in the skyscraper world to rise again." , assume the responsibilities they should bear, and continue to fight and kill the demons, isn't that good? It's better to let more capable people lead the elites of the human race to fight the demons than to let a group of incompetent people lead It is better to let everyone fight against the demons, a group of sheep led by a lion is definitely more powerful than a group of lions led by a sheep!" Zhang Tie spread his hands, his face indifferent, "Anyway, everything in the Dragon Emperor Temple is not mine. It is the Dragon Emperor or the Presbyterians who are responsible for the cause. They either disappeared inexplicably or were incompetent to make the Dragon Emperor Temple like this. The salary received by the Emperor God Palace and my conscience will be fine!"
Huang Baimei looked at Zhang Tie, shook his head, nodded again, and then smiled wryly, "Anyway, I promised you that I would recommend you to the Supervisory Academy. I promise!"
"Let's just let it happen..."
A minute later, watching Zhang Tie leave his room and close the door, Huang Baimei slowly sank into deep thought, and murmured to Zhang Tie, "Follow the fate... a person like this really will Have you lost all your memories..."
...
When Zhang Tie left Huang Baimei's room, Zhou Baifei had already returned to the yard with a serious expression on his face. Looking at Zhang Tie, he changed his face and returned to his room!
This wonderful thing!
Zhang Tie also pretended not to know anything, and returned to his room. Unexpectedly, before the room arrived, he saw Jiang Ruoxin with a slightly red face pulling Ji Yuelan out of Ji Yuelan's room. Not too good either.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Tie asked curiously.
"How can we live in this crappy house? We can't live here anymore..." Ji Yuelan lost her temper, and when she saw Zhang Tie, she acted foolishly and grabbed Zhang Tie's hand, "Anyway, I don't care, the two of us A woman doesn't want to live in this room, and I don't think Mr. Leng will live in it either, you are the deputy palace master, you can find a way for us!"
"Ah, are there cockroaches or mice in the room, or something else disgusting?" Zhang Tie leaned forward and looked into Ji Yuelan's room, "No!"
"Oh, you don't understand..." Ji Yuelan stomped her foot.
Zhang Tie glanced at Jiang Ruoxin, who was blushing, and suddenly heard the sound of clattering coming from Liu Yong's room, and suddenly realized - this, the reason is really funny to say, although everyone lives in their own But the knight's perception is so keen, you let a few big girls "sing" in the room for a day, and the men in the whole yard can hear it clearly, dripping into the ears, how embarrassing it is!
It is estimated that Jiang Ruoxin didn't notice this problem at the beginning, but when she was about to "sing" just now, she felt something was wrong and stopped immediately, so her expression was wrong...
After realizing this, Zhang Tie burst out laughing.
