Chapter 8 The Elder

Zhang Tie was also taken aback when he saw Elder Murray rushing towards him, directly coming to the knights for melee combat and starting a bayonet fight.

Elder Murray's speed was very fast, but Zhang Tie's speed was not slow either. After avoiding Elder Murray's first blow, he had retreated 30 meters away.

"Did Elder Muen also forget to invite me to drink the best wild spring from the Eastern Continent on the airship outside Tianhan City? I think it's not sweet enough and want to put sugar in it?" Elder Murray was furious at the moment Soaring to the sky, Zhang Tie didn't have time to explain to him, but while avoiding Elder Murray's attack, he yelled at Elder Mu En who was still surprised beside him.

There were only two people present at that time, and it was their personal experience, not to mention that it was just such a small detail while drinking tea, the possibility that others would know was very low.

"Brother Murray, wait a minute!"

As soon as Zhang Tie finished speaking, Elder Mu En's complexion changed, his figure turned into a streamer, and he rushed directly in front of Elder Murray, trying to hold Elder Murray back.

With the effort of this short sentence, Zhang Tie avoided three attacks from Elder Murray and never fought back.

Zhang Tie feels that in terms of melee combat, Elder Murray is only slightly stronger than the knight who chased him down. The real terror of Elder Murray is his brilliant longbow. A longbow, best suited for long-distance combat.

"You also believe that this person is Zhang Tie?" The angry Elder Murray's face turned completely purple, looking very powerful, "How could Zhang Tie become a knight? This person dares to use such a method to I am making trouble in Huaiyuan Hall, obviously mocking me that there is no one in Huaiyuan Hall!"

"The scene Zhang Tie and I wanted to see outside Tianhan City a few years ago, the details of drinking tea, it is difficult for outsiders to know!" Mu Enzhang looked at Elder Murray with a serious expression.

"However, it's not completely impossible. Some secret methods, such as searching for souls and reading knowledge, are easy. If Zhang Tie falls into the hands of the demons, it's not surprising that the demons know these details..." Murray said Although the old man was talking, the movements of his hands slowed down.

"If this person is really a shadow demon in disguise, we will join forces to kill him later, and he won't be able to escape in this moment!"

Hearing what Elder Mu En said, Elder Murray finally stopped, but he still looked at Zhang Tie with angry eyes, as if he wanted to see what tricks this guy pretending to be the Shadow Demon could do. .

Zhang Tie also stood still in the sky with a distance of 50 meters between the two of them.

"You say you are Zhang Tie, what proof do you have?" Elder Mu En asked Zhang Tie in a flat tone.

Zhang Tie smiled, "Elder Murray, have you forgotten? Didn't you use the blood crystal to verify my identity once in the Zumai Hall of the Zongren Pavilion? It might be fake, so why not test it again, I can continue to wait here, the two elders go to get the blood crystal, and I can go to the clan hall with the two elders again, it's not far anyway !" Zhang Tie pointed to the location of the Zongren Pavilion under his feet.

Hearing what Zhang Tie said, even the angry Elder Murray froze for a moment. He didn't expect Zhang Tie to be so straightforward. If Zhang Tie was really a fake, how could he be so confident? You must know that under the blood crystal , no matter what kind of conspiracies and tricks, there is nothing to hide in disguise. Shadow Demon can change into Zhang Tie's appearance, and even some secret methods can let others know Zhang Tie's memory, but blood inheritance is something that no one can imitate.

The two elders glanced at each other, then nodded slightly in a tacit understanding,

Then the two elders didn't say much, Elder Murray stayed here, Elder Muen turned around and turned into a streamer, and flew towards the Zongren Pavilion. At the speed of a knight, the back and forth was nothing more than It's only two or three minutes. Even if Zhang Tie is the magic commander, Elder Mu En doesn't believe that Elder Murray can't last for two or three minutes.

As soon as Elder Mu En left, he saw Zhang Tiina calmly waiting for Elder Mu En to come back. Elder Murray finally couldn't hold back anymore. He looked at Zhang Tie with suspicious eyes, "You ...is it really Zhang Tie?"

Zhang Tie sighed and looked at Elder Murray calmly, "The first time Elder Murray and I met was in Zumai Pavilion. Outside the city, I was hunted down by demon knights, Elder Murray came to rescue me urgently. In the crisis, Elder Murray's roar was like fire and thunder, but it also let me know that Murray is the elder. Zhang Tie is here to thank Elder Murray once again for his concern for me!"

After speaking, Zhang Tie gave another deep salute to Elder Murray.

Zhang Tie didn't say anything about Elder Murray's killing of the Patriarch of the Senel family. At that time, he was not around. Just bury that in your heart.

Hearing Zhang Tie say these two things accurately, Elder Murray's long snow-white eyebrows trembled, and the sharp aura that was on the verge of a sword suddenly slowed down by half.

"I know what Elder Murray is suspicious of. I was hunted down by demon knights at the time, and before Elder Murray arrived, I was forced to flee into the underground river. The river in the underground river was extremely complicated. Fortunately, I practiced not weak water skills on Qianlong Island, and earned myself a little life in the river there, but in the end I was washed by the river water and brought to an underground space. In that underground space, I had some adventures, and I was promoted to a knight in less than a month!"

A look of emotion appeared on Elder Murray's face, and before Elder Murray could say anything, the figure of Elder Munn had already soared into the sky from the Zongren Pavilion under the feet of the two of them, returning to the sky. here we go.

In Elder Muen's hand, what he was holding was a blood crystal.

Elder Mu En who came back didn't say much, and directly threw the blood crystal to Zhang Tie, "Since you have used it, you should know how to use it!"

Zhang Tie looked at the crystal in his hand exuding a blurred brilliance, with a ball of red blood rolling in the middle, and didn't say much, directly in front of the two elders, in front of the two elders, Under the gaze of Lao Zhuozhuo, he pricked his finger with the tip of the crystal, letting a few drops of his own blood fall on the crystal.

Zhang Tie's blood was absorbed by the crystal, and when it met the red blood in the crystal, the blood crystal radiated red light, illuminating the surrounding hundreds of meters of sky like a sunset glow, not only that, but the crystal seemed to be completely weightless Same, floating in the sky.

The red light of the crystal indicated that the person in front of him was of Duke Huaiyuan's bloodline, and the fact that the crystal floated up meant that the drop of blood dripping into the crystal was already the real blood flowing from the knight.

Seeing this scene, Elder Mu En and Elder Murray were both surprised and happy.

Seeing that the red light from the blood crystal had attracted the attention of some people at his feet, Elder Mu En waved his long sleeves and put away the blood crystal, "Let's go back to the main hall of the ancestral hall first!"

Zhang Tie followed the two elders and flew directly towards the ancestral hall of Huaiyuan Hall below.

It was the first time for Zhang Tie to come to a place like the ancestral hall. He followed two elders to the terrace outside the ancestral hall, and then walked into a magnificent hall.

At the end of the hall, there is a huge metal statue, more than 20 meters high. A man holds a bow and shoots. The arrow points directly at the door of the hall. It is so powerful that only a few people can embrace it everywhere in the hall. Huge pillars tens of meters high and several huge purple-gold copper tripods are placed in several corners of the main hall. A special kind of whale oil is burned inside. When the oil is burned, there is no smoke, but there is a strange, people The scent of calming mind, the power and wealth of Huaiyuan Hall and the heritage of the family are all displayed in this hall.

As long as he looked at the three words Huaiyuantang on the huge metal figure, Zhang Tie knew that this person was the founder of Huaiyuantang——Zhang Huaiyuan, who was also his direct ancestor.

At the foot of the huge statue of Lord Huaiyuan, it was like a staircase.

From high to low, from top to bottom, there are long rows of spiritual seats. All the spiritual seats add up to tens of thousands, divided into more than 20 rows. Standing neatly and solemnly at the giant's feet. At the bottom of these spiritual seats, there is an altar, and in the center of the altar, there is a piece nearly one meter high. A huge black crystal that is so transparent that there is no trace of impurities.

Everything here is very solemn and solemn.

Seeing the tablets and statues of ancestors in Huaiyuan Hall, Zhang Tie didn't say much, and saw that there were incense and burners on the altar table in front of the altars, so he went there, picked up three incense sticks, and lit them.

"Zhang Tie, a disciple of Huaiyuan Hall, pays homage to the ancestors and heroes today. I hope that the spirits of the ancestors in the sky can protect my Huaiyuan Hall to be prosperous and prosperous, and my blood will continue. It can protect my father and mother for a long life and never disaster. Sorrow, all pain and sorrow, all swords, weapons, water and fire, please put it on me, and I am willing to bear it for you!"

After Zhang Tie finished speaking, he knelt down on the ground respectfully, kowtowed three times, and then stood up and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

The two elders, Murray and Mu En, have long heard that Zhang Tie has been extremely filial at home since he was a child. When Zhang Tie's family lived in Heiyan City, life was poor. His mother made rice brew to subsidize the family. A bowl of two or three copper coins, Zhang Tie loved to eat rice stuffed rice when he was young, but after he was four years old, he stopped eating too much. When his family asked why, he said that seeing his mother working hard and seeing his father working hard, he couldn't bear to eat more rice stuffed rice. Later, when the Zhang family returned to Huaiyuan County, Zhang Tie even used a copy of "Abacus and Divine Arithmetic" to save his father. Later, even if Zhang Tie invented a full-effect medicine, he became a family. The pillar of the pillar has already played an important role, making money every day. At home, he never speaks harshly to his parents, obeys his parents, and often pretends to be a childish child to make his parents smile...

These news about Zhang Tie are all market affairs. Originally, it was impossible for the two elders to know and pay attention to them, but after Zhang Tie gave birth to three amazing sons, along with the elders in Huaiyuan Hall As the attention to Zhang Tie deepened, these things slowly reached the ears of the two elders through various channels.

At this moment, listening to Zhang Tie's prayer, the two elders were full of emotion. There is an old Chinese saying, the parents in the hall, the father is the sky and the mother is the earth. Naturally, a hundred blessings come to the door, auspiciousness lingers, and is blessed by heaven and earth. Even if the whole family is in adversity, they can escape from it and have their own gods. Brothers Zhang Tie are both dutiful sons, and it has only been a few years for the family to return to Huaiyuan Hall from Heiyan City, but during these few years, the Zhang family has changed every year, and now this Tie is soaring into the sky, To be promoted to a knight, not only the Zhang family, but the entire Huaiyuantang Jinhai City lineage will also prosper because of this. If there is one more knight in Huaiyuantang, the strength will be improved to a higher level. As an old saying, sincerity does not deceive me, although it is a few words, it is concise and profound, and it is the cardinal of the blessings and misfortunes of the world.

Seeing that Zhang Tie finished offering incense and praying, Elder Mu En told Zhang Tie to sit and wait for a while, and then pointed at a golden fou covered with runes on a table in the main hall, sending out a wave of fighting spirit. As soon as the golden fou came out, Zhang Tie felt a strange force spreading from the hall like ripples in the soft sound, and it disappeared in a flash.

"Elder Mu En, what is this for?" Zhang Tie asked curiously.

At this moment, Elder Mu En and Elder Murray have already made a 180-degree turn in their attitudes towards Zhang Tie. The two looked at each other with smiles, but it was Elder Murray who took the lead. He opened his mouth, "This is the sound transmission golden fou. As soon as the golden fou makes a sound, within a thousand miles, the sound transmission jade tablets carried by several elders of the clan will vibrate, and they will use the fastest Hurry up to this Zongfu Hall?"

"Isn't that the same as a remote sensing crystal?"

"Almost, but the remote-sensing crystal is a natural thing, and it can only be used one-on-one, while the sound-transmitting gold pot and the sound-transmitting jade tablet are alchemy objects that can be used one-to-many, and the distance of their effects will also be limited. The two can only resonate, but they cannot transmit too much information like remote sensing crystals!"

Zhang Tie nodded, expressing that he understood. He didn't expect such a thing to exist in Huaiyuan Hall.

"Your matter is of great importance. It is best to wait for the two elders, Elder Mu Yu and Elder Mu Ke who stayed at Huaiyuan Hall to come together, and then you can explain to everyone!" Elder Mu En added .

Among the five elders in Huaiyuan Hall, besides Zhang Tie's sixth uncle, Elder Mu Yuan who went to the Eastern Continent, there are four other elders in Huaiyuan County at this moment.

"OK!"

At this time, even Elder Murray, who was very hot-tempered, sat quietly, waiting for the arrival of the other two elders. This was a big matter, and he had to explain it clearly to the other two elders.

More than ten minutes later, Elder Mu En saw Zhang Tie's ears move, and couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart.

"Why, did you feel it too?"

"Zhang Tie felt that an elder had already flown to a place more than 50 kilometers away from here, and that elder had already released a fighting spirit while flying at full speed. The fighting spirit was very powerful, so I felt it! "

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tie's knight realm has been completely stabilized. Murray Zhang Lai and Elder Mu En looked at each other again, both a little surprised. It is impossible for a person whose knight realm is not stable to have any interest in the knight's aura. It is so sensitive, but it takes at least ten years for the average person to become a knight after being promoted to a knight. There may be adventures for a person to become a knight, but the stabilization of this realm is a process that cannot be tricked at all...

The two elders both vaguely guessed something in their hearts.

In just a few minutes, Zhang Tie felt a movement outside the main hall of the ancestral hall, and the figure had landed outside the main hall, and then walked in.

"Zhang Tie..." The elder looked at Zhang Tie who was sitting with the other two elders, and called out Zhang Tie's name in one gulp. There was unconcealable surprise in that voice. .

"Brother Mu An, stay safe and don't be impatient, Zhang Tie has already returned, let's wait for Brother Mu Yu to arrive!" Elder Mu En said.

As an elder, everyone's physical and mental cultivation has reached an extremely deep level. At this time, even if Elder Mu An was surprised, he shut up and didn't say anything more. Instead, he walked over and sat down. .

Elder Mu An, who was sitting down, looked at Zhang Tie's calm appearance in front of the two elders, and suddenly felt something, and took a breath of air--at this moment, Zhang Tie's breath was completely different from those of the two elders. There is no distinction between elders and elders, could it be...

Elder Mu An looked at Elder Murray, and Elder Murray nodded slightly.

A few minutes later, the last elder who stayed behind in Huaiyuan Hall—Elder Mu Yu also arrived.

The four elders gathered together, and all of them fixed their burning eyes on Zhang Tie...

"The task I received from the coalition headquarters was a trap. The Senel family knew that I would go to Tokey to investigate. They and a few high-level winged demons have long been waiting in Tokey City. I, I was discovered by several high-level winged demons almost as soon as I arrived in Tokeyi City. During the battle with the winged demons, my glider fell down and was captured by Ke Ze, the head of the Senel family. ..."

"As for the following things, you can probably guess that the Senel family and the Three-Eyed Society wanted to bribe me to work for the Demon Race and the Three-Eyed Society. If I quit, they used despicable means to slander me, and finally put me Locked up in a castle outside the city of Tokey by the Senel family, trying to make me submit!"

"I didn't give in, but found an opportunity to escape from that castle, because I had some special encounters. After escaping from the Senel family's territory, after a period of subterranean training, I was recovering from my injuries. After improving my strength again, I returned to the Cernes War Zone. At that time, the Cernes War Zone had been broken by the demons, from the Cernes War Zone, to the Republic of Saipan, and then to the Norman Empire I followed behind the demon legion all the way, looking for a chance to take revenge!"

"I didn't find this opportunity. The strength and number of the Demon Legion are too many. Demonized puppets are everywhere. I don't even know where the Senel family is, and I have no way to contact them. God didn't avenge me at all. However, the demon army suffered a serious setback under the city of Nein, and the entire demon army was in chaos. After two months in the chaos of the demon army, I still did not find any trace of the Senel family. , and then I left the Norman Empire and came to Hampton!"

"Then in Ampton, I unexpectedly met a familiar person. That person was a young elite from the Arthur family of the Three-Eyed Society, named Sarante. I was following that Sarante in Ampton. It was finally discovered that Salant was actually carrying out a conspiracy in Ampton, and wanted to cooperate with the demon army to close the northern gate of the Kale Mountains."

"Then I informed my brother of what I had discovered..."

"Later, that was the Battle of Ampton. The elders probably knew what happened at that time. I was chased and killed by a demon knight, and I jumped into the river to escape, but the river took me into a In the mysterious underground space, in that underground space, I found a huge pyramid made entirely of crystals. At that time, I was very shocked, and walked in without knowing it..."

When Zhang Tie said this, several elders who listened engrossed all exclaimed, "Ah Tower of Time!"

Elder Murray almost couldn't help standing up, "Then what happened next?"

Zhang Tie spread his hands, pretending to be helpless and said, "To be honest, those things are a long time ago for me now. After I just walked into that golden tower, the demon clan who chased me The knight arrived, and he was also rushed to that mysterious underground space by the current of the river there, but he was far away from me and did not catch me in time. I almost thought that I was finished and there was no way to escape, but let What I didn't expect was that after I entered the pyramid, the demon knight couldn't come in no matter what. No matter how he attacked outside, he still couldn't open the door of the pyramid, so I let it go a little bit Heart!"

Several elders nodded secretly. It is indeed so. Only one person can enter the Tower of Time at a time. Since Zhang Tie has entered, the knight of the demon clan cannot enter again no matter what. It's useless to call him handsome. I didn't expect Zhang Tiefu to have a lifeline under such circumstances.

"The demon knight was guarding outside. I didn't dare to go out. I thought I would die in that tower because there was nothing to eat in that tower, but I didn't dare to go out because the demon The knights must be guarding outside. I began to feel that I had been in the tower for a few days, but unexpectedly, I was neither thirsty nor hungry, and my whole body did not feel any discomfort. It was very empty inside and there was nothing to do. , the knights of the demon clan guarded outside again, and I just started practicing inside the tower!"

"I don't even remember how long I practiced in that tower. I just remember that a few times I was almost driven crazy by that person's environment, but when I thought that the demon knight was outside the pyramid, I forced myself to I kept practicing, practicing, practicing. Later, I entered a state of tranquility. I forgot the time and the demon knight. I just concentrated on practicing until one day, when I found out The first time I felt hungry and wanted to find something to eat, I came out of that pyramid, and then found that I had been promoted to a knight..."

"Ah, how many years have you stayed in that Tower of Time?" Elder Munn asked.

Zhang Tie frowned seriously, and finally shook his head helplessly, and sighed, "In that state, I even forgot how long I've been in that tower of time, and I feel like I've already It's like staying in it for a lifetime, such a period of time is really too long..."

This is of course Zhang Tie's lie. If Zhang Tie tells several elders that he has been promoted to a knight after staying in the Tower of Time for fifteen years, then all the elders will be fried. There will be more curiosity about skills and encounters, because even fifteen years is still too short for being promoted to a knight. If you say you can’t remember, then how long have you practiced in the Tower of Time? Time, let the elders think for themselves, as long as they think is appropriate, anyway, according to the information I learned from the Garley Knight, the time flow rate of the Tower of Time is completely different. Even if Huaiyuantang wants to solve this mystery, he will have to wait 60 years. If it is really going to be then, what if people know that he was promoted to a knight in the first 15 years?

The elders of Huaiyuan Hall looked at each other in blank dismay...

Everyone knows that there are some secrets hidden in Zhang Tie's words, such as how he escaped from the prison of the Senel family, such as how his strength can improve so fast, but this kind of question , were all taken away by Zhang Tie's words, Zhang Tie didn't want to talk more, who can force him.

A ruler who doesn’t keep secrets will lose his country, a minister who doesn’t keep secrets will lose his body, and a scholar who doesn’t keep secrets will lose his life. In this world, who doesn’t have any secrets of their own, even the billboard hanging by the roadside for everyone to see. Some people can't see the back, let alone a person. The elders of Huaiyuan Hall also have their own secrets, things that they don't want everyone to know, so some details that Zhang Tie deliberately obscured, the elders None of them will really ask seriously, because there is no need at all. The most important thing is that there are only two things. Zhang Tie is from Huaiyuan Hall. He has been promoted to a knight, and he is standing in front of several people. Zhang Tie at this moment is no longer the Zhang Tie before.

"Do you remember where the Tower of Time is? Do you remember when the Tower of Time will open next time?" Seeing that everyone was silently digesting what Zhang Tie said, Mu Anchang The old man asked a question that everyone was most concerned about.

"Well, when I came out of that underground space, I have already marked the way. The time when the Tower of Time will reopen... It should be 60 years later..." Zhang Tie made an effort to remember, frowned. Frowning, "When I left the pyramid, I seemed to feel that a message ran into my mind. After I left the underground, I recalled that what the message told me was the next opening time of the Tower of Time. , yes... 60 years later!"

Hearing what Zhang Tie said, all the elders breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do the elders have any questions?" Elder Mu En glanced at the remaining three elders.

Several elders looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Then, from today onwards, we will have another family elder in Huaiyuan Hall, the only family elder who has been promoted to knight before the age of twenty-five in the entire Weiyi subcontinent!"

Zhang Tie was stunned for a moment, what, the elders of the family... Monthly ticket, your support is my biggest motivation.)
