Chapter 496 Each Changes
Zhang Deming walked out of the small courtyard, looked towards Huahai Wudao Pavilion, and was slightly taken aback.
What's going on here?
What happened?
I saw more than ten or twenty disciples standing on the Enlightenment Platform outside the Enlightenment Pavilion. Moreover, they are all Sixiang monks with one water, ranging from four elephants with one life to four elephants with three lives.
With doubts, Zhang Deming floated to Lan Ying's side, and asked in a low voice: "Senior sister Lan Ying, what's the matter?"
Right now, Wudao Pavilion is empty, Lan Fuyao is not there, and everyone is waiting.
With the appearance of Zhang Deming, Zhang Deming clearly felt that everyone was looking at him from the corner of their eyes. Compared with before, it is even worse.
Obviously, the news of his breakthrough should have spread, at least that's how Xianqinya is. The reason why he was able to consolidate his cultivation for several months with peace of mind was probably due to Lan Fuyao.
Lan Ying looked Zhang Deming up and down, and said: "Not bad, the aura is restrained, the aura is faint, and in just three months, he can completely adapt to the cultivation base of the Four Elephant Stage, even like a monk who has broken through for many years.
With your talent, how come you are still in the third talent stage for more than nine hundred years? "
Zhang Deming replied with a smile: "Hey, I was young and ignorant back then, and I was used to being lazy in the temple. I just idled around all day and just spent my days idle!"
Lan Ying obviously also knew about Zhang Deming's situation, so she jokingly replied: "So, you have to thank you for pushing you this time with the plan to ban Taoism!"
Zhang Deming smiled, did not continue to entangle on this topic, and asked again: "Suddenly called me out, and gathered here again, but what happened?"
Lan Ying put away her joking expression, nodded slightly seriously, and said: "There is indeed something, a few years ago, the ancestor of Yin and Yang Dao in the Overseas Islands, 'Sweet Talk', suddenly returned after hundreds of years of Shadow Escape.
He has committed a lot of murders, and in the past few years, there has been a trend of intensification, and the digital devils of the overseas islands have taken the opportunity to stir up trouble.
It has disturbed the coastal areas, and since last year, it even has a tendency to spread inland.
Haiyun Temple from the coast came to visit, and it has been miserable for the past few years. A month ago, it finally couldn't bear the pressure, and asked for a comprehensive rescue from the temple, asking for help to eliminate the demons.
The high-level leaders of the Zongmen discussed and felt that the overseas islands should also be rectified. After all, Hongmeng was already a little nervous at this moment.
Let them go on like this, something will happen sooner or later. If it affects something and affects the general trend, it will be bad. "
Hearing this, Zhang Deming was a little surprised. He is no stranger to overseas demon cultivators doing messy things.
When Huineng asked for help before, it can be said that it was the initial stage of the chaos. Later, at the Venerable Conference, Tong Hou also mentioned it. By the way, didn’t Tong Hou open a shop in Herring City?
Why did you start paying attention to the situation in the overseas islands a few years ago?
While thinking, Zhang Deming said, "So we are...?"
"The Zongmen accepted Haiyun Temple's request for help, and planned to rectify the coastal islands on a large scale, and our Xianqinya has also assigned the task.
It seems that I heard that it is in charge of part of the sea area of Zhenwu Temple and Haiyun Temple. Well, the ground should be the area bordering Tianji Pavilion!
Of course, this is just what I heard. The master has not discussed it yet, and it is not clear what area he is in charge of. "Lan Ying looked at Zhang Deming and said so.
"Is that so... With such a big battle, it seems that the overseas islands should be in chaos now!" Zhang Deming whispered.
At this time, a slightly frail senior brother next to the two of them suddenly answered: "Brother, you have never been to the overseas islands, it is already very chaotic there, and it is not safe for ordinary Sixiang monks to wander there.
In the current situation, it is even more turbulent, so the posture on our side is not an exaggeration. The previous Demon Smash Club was almost the same, but the previous ones were not as strong. "
The Hongmeng coastal chaos has a long history, and almost every thousand years there will be a demon-smite conference.
What needs to be noted here is that the Hongmeng management system is all major sects, so this kind of demon-slaying conference is not about exorcising demons and defending the way. If you really want to compare it, it is more appropriate to describe it as suppressing riots.
There is an essential difference in this, which needs to be clearly distinguished, one is the extermination of demons and defending the law, which is forbidden by chivalrous martial arts, and the other is official law enforcement actions.
"This is a disciple of the Yu family, Yu Mingyu." When Zhang Deming looked at him suspiciously, Lan Ying introduced him in time.
"I'm Li Zhengkun, I've met Brother Mingyu." Zhang Deming saluted him upon hearing this.
"Hehe, junior brother Zhengkun, you are being polite. Junior brother's reputation is now at the height of the sky in our Xianqinya, and it is extremely mysterious. It is really not easy to meet junior brother!" Yu Mingyu said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Mingyu praised me a lot, for a salty fish like my junior brother, I should be terrified!" Zhang Deming replied.
"Salted fish?" Yu Mingyu said with a strange expression: "Junior Brother, do you call this salted fish? It seems that my five hundred years of practice have been in vain!"
"Eh..." Zhang Deming paused slightly, and just about to answer the question, everyone was silent.
Zhang Deming also immediately stopped talking and looked towards the sky.
At this moment, Lan Fuyao floated down, surrounded by streamers, and in the eyes of everyone, floated to the Enlightenment Pavilion.
"This time, the demon-slaying operation is a joint operation of several sects, led by our Quanqing Outer Court and the Tianji Pavilion's Outer Court, united with several surrounding areas under our banner, and summoned countless casual cultivators to do it together.
Therefore, the scale is relatively large. The area allocated by us at Xianqinya is part of the coastal areas of Zhenwu Temple and Haiyun Temple, and a little deeper into the outer sea.
Because the situation in the open sea is complicated, no specific in-depth requirements are required, and the task requirements are only for operations in the inner sea islands. "Lan Fuyao paused, looked around the crowd, and continued:
"The general situation is like this, and I won't say much about it. For specific matters, after arriving at the location, the relevant joint responsible personnel will explain to you and make detailed task arrangements.
I only have one request: Be careful and do your best. It is not shameful to retreat tactically when encountering danger. Don't take it as your usual hero in fighting demons and defending the way. "
Heh, this Lan Fuyao looks indifferent, like a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, but I didn't expect her fighting style to be quite like my generation of monks!
When the leader speaks, he can say tactical retreat, which is really good! ! !
He is a role model for us! ! !
Among the twenty or so disciples below, some smiled knowingly like Zhang Deming, some were expressionless, and two were even a little embarrassed.
Heh, the embarrassing thing is probably that my fate is up to me, but fate is not hard. If there is no life of the protagonist, it will often die quickly.
It is a bit difficult for them to be able to cultivate the four images!
After all... If you are meticulous, you will not live long!
"Disciples wait for orders!"
"Disciple would like to follow Master's orders!"
"..."
Everyone bowed in unison, Lan Fuyao looked around, took in all the expressions of the crowd, said no more, stretched out his hand, and a huge flying boat appeared in the sky. Then she said, "If that's the case, let's get on the boat and set off!"
After all, he took the lead to fly on the deck of the airship.
Together with the others, Zhang Deming flew onto the deck of the flying boat. The flying boat is very big, it is a six-star flying magic weapon with a sense of history, its style is a bit retro, like an ancient main ship.
Or it was a product made many years ago. After all, Lan Fuyao was thousands of years old, and this ship should be her own flying magic weapon.
Hmm, it shouldn't be that common.
Because if Zhang Deming felt right, this thing should belong to the ordinary type of magic weapon. For Zhang Deming, the speed of this boat is probably barely enough.
It is not too difficult for Zhang Deming to refine such things now, but it takes a long time. For the six-star magic weapon to be planted, he needs a month to lay the groundwork, and the exaggerated three-month estimate is to complete the knot.
When Zhang Deming looked at the flying boat, an energy shield had emerged from the flying boat. The shield is like a nut, in the shape of a flat football, with sharp ends and a slightly flattened middle.
Looking at the shield, Zhang Deming was probably sure.
The age of this magic weapon should be about three or four thousand years, because the shield is spherical in shape further forward. In recent thousands of years of refinement, these subtle influences have been increasingly considered.
The information flashed in my mind, and I slowly came to a conclusion.
Over the past few years, Zhang Deming has almost scoured the basic knowledge of Quanqing Temple's openness, so now his knowledge reserve can be said to be very rich.
When Zhang Deming was thinking wildly, Lan Fuyao at the front of the deck said: "The view of the Sea of Clouds is quite far away, and the arrival time will probably be three days later.
The status order has assigned rooms to each of you, you can go down and meditate, of course you can also wait on this deck. "
After saying that, without waiting for the disciples to greet him, Lan Fuyao floated into the top of the spaceship.
Zhang Deming looked around, then turned around and entered the flying boat room like a building. The flying boat is very large, and the internal space seems to have been slightly expanded by the pattern, so it looks a little empty.
Guided by his identity token, Zhang Deming came to his assigned room. Nothing worth noting, like an ancient guest room.
One side is half a practice room, and the other side is a bedroom. The overall space is not too big, but considering the large number of rooms, it is quite spacious.
Zhang Deming sat cross-legged on the side of the practice room, restrained, and directly entered the spirit cultivation space.
During the change of body shape, it changed into the appearance of the main body. Immediately, Zhang Deming took a step forward and came to Xundao City.
After six or seven years of development, Xundao City is already very different, and its popularity is extremely hot. Of course, this is mainly the Tianling District.
However, other urban areas are no longer quiet, and the central areas of many places still have a little bit of human presence. Although they can't compare with Tianling District, they are not bad.
In Tianling District, there are hundreds of thousands of personnel. In the past few years, most of them have gradually begun to have a sense of aura, and have become ordinary 'innate' masters.
Or if they are lucky, they become an apprentice of a small sect directly, or they hang out in the circle of apprentices and casual cultivators.
Under various circumstances, this place is very lively, but there is no chaos. The Code was formulated by Zhang Deming to modernize management regulations to manage intelligently, and no problems have been found so far.
While admiring all the way, Zhang Deming came to the main street of Tianling District, and came to the most core building on the street: the headquarters of Tianling District.
After looking at the building, Zhang Deming reached out and pushed open the door, and walked in.
It hasn't changed much from when I came here a few years ago, even the huge cobblestone table in the middle.
Looking around, Zhang Deming flipped through the room, and the book of sentient beings appeared, and he tapped the book of sentient beings. Immediately Zhang Deming sat on the round table in the yard and waited quietly.
In just a moment, Qin Shizhong was the first to gather in the courtyard. The moment he looked at Zhang Deming, he immediately gave a solemn salute, and said with some excitement: "My disciples have passed Master Zhang!"
Zhang Deming looked at Qin Shizhong with a smile on his face and said, "You, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are still so rigid and meticulous. How many times do I have to tell you to get rid of your problem!"
Qin Shizhong looked at Zhang Deming with a smile, and didn't reply or argue. There was some excitement in his eyes, but also a little concern.
"Master uncle has been doing well these years!" Qin Shizhong asked after suppressing his inner excitement for a moment.
"It's okay. After the disaster, I have experienced some things, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Now I have entered a special department of the alliance and rarely have contact with the outside world..."
Before Zhang Deming finished speaking, both of them turned their heads and looked aside. I saw a figure on the side quickly outlined, and instantly solidified.
"Uncle Master!!!" While speaking, Pei Xiaoxiao rushed up directly, bumped into Zhang Deming's arms, put his arms around Zhang Deming's waist, buried his head in Zhang Deming's chest, and arched gently like a little milk cat with.
"Hehe..." Zhang Deming showed a bright smile, stretched out his hand to gently pat Pei Xiaoxiao's head, and said:
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have become a big girl, but you have grown up. I heard that you have become the first sister of Tianlingmen now?"
"Well, uncle, I'm really good now!
Our Yuling Peak is also very powerful. In just a few years, our Feiquan Waterfall Building has become a major repair of three talents, and all sects have given up our building!
Brother Qin even helped the sect to open up the market in the blessed land circle, barely making it into the blessed land circle. "Pei Xiaoxiao said with a bit of arrogance.
At this moment, Qin Shizhong's eyelids twitched. When did the well-known Senior Sister Bingshan in the sect act like this kind of stupid and cute cat?
But looking at it...Senior Sister Pei seems to be very proficient. Could it be that she was so cute when she was a boy for the uncle in the past?
No way!
This high-cold person is going to jump!
When Qin Shizhong's thoughts were racing, another figure began to be drawn. Seeing this, Zhang Deming patted Pei Xiaoxiao, and Pei Xiaoxiao let go of Zhang Deming reluctantly. After a while, Li Shifan also appeared.
"Senior Brother Zhang!" Because of Zhang Deming's connection, Li Shifan immediately looked for the target as soon as he appeared. After seeing Zhang Deming's figure, he also strode forward with excitement and gave Zhang Deming a bear hug.
He is obviously a cold-blooded swordsman, with a dash of heroism in an instant, and his style is changeable.
The two hugged each other, and before they could get acquainted, another figure was drawn out one after another.
In a short while, nine people gathered in the small courtyard, all of whom were members of the original council. After everyone greeted each other and sat down, they all looked at Zhang Deming who was in the main seat.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, how are you all?" Zhang Deming asked.
"very good!"
"Thank you for your concern!"
"It's not bad!"
"..."
Everyone replied one after another, Tong Hou looked at Zhang Deming and asked, "Where has Uncle Zhang been all these years?"
Tong Hou obviously asked the eight people's hearts, and everyone looked at Zhang Deming in unison.
"After the Heavenly Calamity, because I used some things, after the explosion, I suffered serious injuries and fled into the depths of the Hengduan Mountains.
In the first few years, I was recuperating in the depths of the mountains. Then I experienced some ups and downs and had some opportunities. After finally getting out, I went back to our Zhang family's ancestral land.
The elders in the family favored her and entered a rather important department of the alliance, which can be regarded as retreating until now. "Zhang Deming looked around the crowd and said briefly.
Everyone heard the words, and each of them looked different.
"I've called everyone here this time. I haven't seen you for a long time. There is another matter." Zhang Deming paused, looked around the crowd, and said, "You guys, who opened a new area?"
"I set up a secret organization in a place along the coast. However, due to environmental reasons, it has not expanded on a large scale in the past few years." Tong Hou said first.
There was no response from the crowd, apparently they already knew about it from the previous gathering.
Zhang Deming was taken aback, "Coastal?"
Why did Tong Hou go to the coast?
Hasn't he been opening a shop in Herring City?
By the way, after this guy obtained the Disguise Orb, he started to prepare something. Could it be that he was wandering around the coastal islands at the same time?
The enemy who destroyed their family was the demon cultivator from the coast?
No wonder, no wonder this guy has such an extreme self-interested personality, so he has a lot of contact with coastal magicians!
At this moment of Zhang Deming's thoughts, Nangong Cheng said: "I have established an alliance in Huayue City.
Now it has covered a lot, but I chose the semi-secret method of Tianling District, so I started from the low-level casual cultivator circle.
Now the stalls are not small, covering a large area of the city, but... because there are no special means to attract high-level monks, they are still not popular at present. "
"Because my talent is too low, my mother is very concerned about this, all kinds of nagging all day long, all kinds of things for me to improve my talent, I feel very annoyed.
Simply let her recite the incantation, become a temporary reserve member, and then ask her to help open the district.
After being in contact with the alliance for a while, and seeing the golden benefits of the alliance, my mother directly turned our shop in Youshengju into a reserve for the branch of the business alliance.
I have been working hard to develop these years. It is estimated that after the five-year opening period, I can complete the positioning of the new district here, which should be okay. "
Qian Xiaogong seems to have entered puberty, um, it's a bit late, but the rebelliousness in his words is shown.
Zhang Deming frowned when he heard the other party's Versailles words, but everyone didn't respond. Obviously, everyone was familiar with the smell.
"I moved the Qu family and entered the area of Baishu Sect. Now I am mobilizing the power of the whole family to build the new area. The situation is not bad!" Qu Qingxian said coldly and indifferently.
If Zhang Deming hadn't clearly known that now the Qu family only had two or three kittens, they would have thought it would be such a battle!
But among the crowd, Qu Qingxian has changed the most, from a normal middle-aged man who is wily and scheming, to the gloomy temperament he is now.
He is still an adult, and his world view and personality have changed after he has formed. It can be seen how much his experiences over the years have affected him.
"I also applied for a foreign transfer to manage the junction of the Huashui Palace. I used some strength to build a partition on the edge of the Huashui Palace. Now the situation has just begun!" Feng Mingyou of Xianyu also rarely has Xianyu up.
