Chapter 617
The two gatekeepers watched Zhang Deming go out for a while and bring back several strangers with doubts on their faces. The indifferent Zhang Deming ignored them and led them directly into the small courtyard.
After a while, Zhang Zeli hurried over.
Arriving at Zhang Deming's yard, Zhang Zeli, who was told to meet in the living room, was slightly taken aback. We must know that even though Zhang Deming discusses the important affairs of the clan, most of them are settled in the gazebo in the courtyard while drinking tea.
After the living room in this yard was completed, he hadn't been there yet. Thinking of the information Zhang Daijun just said, he came to the living room with doubts.
As soon as he entered the living room, he was taken aback. There were a dozen people in the living room, but they were all unfamiliar faces.
"I've met my uncle!" Zhang Zeli was puzzled, seeing the outsider, he respectfully saluted Zhang Deming who was in charge.
Zhang Deming nodded and said, "Well, sit down!"
Hearing the words, Zhang Zeli came to the side, sat down carefully, looked around without making any traces, and said, "Uncle, who are you?"
"This is a member of Zhang's direct lineage." Zhang Deming said so.
"Di lineage?" Zhang Zeli was puzzled, and thought of something, and said, "Uncle, have you gone to the Chenlong Realm?"
Zhang Deming nodded, and said: "Well, I did explore a wave, but the Chenlong Realm has been sealed by me now."
Zhang Zeli looked at the people who were looking rather gloomy, and asked in doubt, "But what happened?"
Zhang Deming said: "Forget it, there are only a few of Chenlong Zhang's direct lineage left now, and the rest should be extinct. Although the exploration has not been completed, it should be almost the same.
A monster dragon appeared there, its arrogance was high, and it became a bit of a climate. The Zhang Clan has almost been wiped out by him, and I am not sure about taking them down, so I can only seal it up and give it up for now! "
"Uncle, as long as you're fine!" Zhang Zeli said so.
Zhang Deming glanced at him, and said: "The two worlds of Yinhu and Chenlong encountered shocking accidents in successive explorations. Fortunately, it didn't affect our side, but this kind of luck doesn't happen every time.
So I also plan to suspend the exploration of the three worlds of Zimo, Haizhu, and Shenhou. After all, Zishu's environment is bad, and the two worlds of Haizhu and Shenhou were one of the most powerful worlds in the heavens in the ancient god court era.
Once an accident occurs, it will easily affect our family, so we simply press back, let's explore the worlds of Xiaotian and Ugly Niu first. "
Zhang Zeli nodded and said, "It's up to you to decide these uncles, and the juniors below us can just execute it."
Hearing this, Zhang Deming looked around at the people around him, and said, "Well, if that's the case, then let's get to know other people. This is Zhang Buyi, the seventh eldest in the Zhang family lineage, and I'm considered to be of the same generation. This is Zhang Deming... "..."
In this way, Zhang Deming introduced a few people to Zhang Zeli, and the emotions of the few people seemed to be not too high, and they began to discuss how to arrange them. Rather than talking about it, it is better to say that Zhang Deming is giving orders.
Because Zhang Deming did not intend to cancel the treatment of their main line and re-establish the direct line sect in Zhangjiajie, Zhang Zeli has been listening honestly and remembering silently.
In words, he also respected several people very much, and even thought about how to draw several people into their main line, so that this branch of them could become a veritable direct line of the Zhang family.
Zhang Deming saw all this and didn't care. Where there are people, there will be fights, which is inevitable. Such a Zhang family with small calculations and careful thinking is actually better than the seemingly utopian Zhang family.
······
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.
Zhang Deming led Li Shifan and Qu Qingxian to use the rapid earth escape to escape for more than half a day, passing through the middle depth of the entire Hengduan Mountain Range, and only after reaching the outer area did he stop the escape technique and rush out from the ground. come out.
Changed a few more concealment methods, walked slowly for a certain distance, and after confirming that he was not being tracked, Zhang Deming chose a valley to stop.
Under Zhang Deming's order, Qu Qingxian turned into a black dragon and created a cave in the valley. Zhang Deming used a few concealment formations at the entrance of the cave before completely stopping.
At this moment, he has not much spiritual power left.
The previous high-intensity battle had almost consumed all the spiritual power in his dantian and Anzi, and the subsequent desperate escape was only supported by the Taoist body using spirit crystals and recovering to the limit.
If he was running like this, he really couldn't hold on with his spiritual power.
Therefore, after finishing the cave, Zhang Deming began to meditate, the body and the Tao body both began to recover their spiritual power, and adjusted their own state of breath.
When Li Shifan was detained by Zhang Deming, he had been recovering from his injuries, and it was even more so now. Among the three, he didn't contribute the most, but he wasn't considered a soy sauce either. He was indeed the most seriously injured. Most of them were internal injuries that required a long period of recuperation.
As for Qu Qingxian, he was soy sauce the whole time, after all, he only had this level of cultivation. At Tianlingmen, he might still be considered a little brother, but with Zhang Deming and the others, that's really not enough.
But he wasn't completely useless. In that cave, it was obviously the corpse of a giant beast, and it was somewhat in line with his evil dragon way. By chance, he had absorbed a lot of power at that time.
Seeing that both of them were meditating to heal their wounds, he checked the entrance of the cave and found that he didn't need to protect the law himself. He began to meditate again, recuperating the black dragon, and digesting the harvest this time.
Just like that, the whole cave fell into silence.
······
The three of them silently healed, adjusted their breath, and practiced for three days.
On this day, Qu Qingxian, who had time to spare, made hastily made out of the cave, and after minor repairs made it look decent, he smelled a faint fragrance.
When he came to the entrance of the cave, he found that Zhang Deming was roasting unknown monster meat. What made him speechless was that it seemed to be the great demon of the Five Elements.
"Try it?" Zhang Deming looked at Qu Qingxian who came out, and said so.
"Then thank you very much, Manager Zhang!" Although Qu Qingxian did not have the appetite of Zhang Deming, he was not polite when facing the essence of monster meat from the Five Elements Stage.
Floating forward, he took the monster meat given by Zhang Deming with a wave, took a bite, and his mouth was instantly filled with delicious fragrance. Feeling the strong spiritual power, Qu Qingxian smiled.
"How?" Zhang Deming asked.
"Well, this is the most essential part of the Five Elements Great Demon, right? The effect is good. I haven't eaten this kind of spiritual meal a few times. Thank you for your hospitality!" Qu Qingxian replied.
Zhang Deming's face froze, looking at Qu Qingxian's appearance, he couldn't help but think of the time when he was drinking tea at Feng Mingyou's place, just for a few experience points. Quite speechless: "I'm asking about the taste!"
"Eh...very good!" Qu Qingxian said belatedly.
"It smells so good! But senior brother, you are almost becoming the patriarch of the Five Elements, and you haven't gotten rid of this habit yet!" At this time, Li Shifan's words came from the cave.
The two turned their heads completely and saw Li Shifan walking out of it.
"Are you awake?" Qu Qingxian asked.
"How's the injury?" Zhang Deming asked.
Li Shifan smiled and said, "It's nothing serious!"
While speaking, he came to the front, and without being polite to Zhang Deming, he directly took a piece of meat and ate it.
"Well, it's really good. It's almost time to catch up with the cyclamen. Brother, you haven't changed the way of alchemy these years and went to tinker with medicinal food, have you?" Li Shifan said as he ate the meat.
Zhang Deming shook his head, and started to do it. While eating the barbecue, he said: "Since you are awake, let's go on the road after eating. There will be several days of delay."
"Brother, are you going back to the sect with us? Not going back to your house?" Li Shifan said in surprise.
Zhang Deming nodded, and said: "Well, I have sent back the information about the exploration, and I have almost completed the training in the clan.
I originally planned to return to the sect after a while, but now that we met, we might as well go back together. I haven't been back to the sect for more than ten years, I miss it, and I don't know what it is like now. "
When Qu Qingxian heard the words, his lips moved slightly, but he finally didn't answer.
Li Shifan said happily: "The changes have been great. After experiencing the disaster of heaven and spirit, all parties rescued, and the disciples in the sect worked hard. In the past ten years, the changes have been greater than in the past hundred years.
Especially our Yuling Peak has completely changed now!
Butler Qin, um, I mean Qin Shizhong, Pei Xiaoxiao, and I, including patriarch Qu, because of the welfare of the alliance symbiotic species, plus various opportunities, the three talents in succession surprised several grandparents in the sect. On the elders.
Now our Feiquan Waterfall Building is already a sacred place for the disciples of the sect to practice, and even a few grand elders don't want to provoke it.
This is the matter of my four images that no one knows yet. If they know, maybe Zongli will act! "
Zhang Deming nodded and said, "Where are the three senior brothers? What's the matter?"
"Brother, are you asking Master Yue Feng, Master Gan, and Master Gu? They haven't changed much. Master Yue Feng is still so salty. Master Gan wants Steward Qin to manage Yuling Peak. He has cheated him for five or six years. No success.
As for Master Gu... Eight years ago, he failed to return to the peak because of a quarrel with the elders of the party, and he was still in charge of Wang Huifeng.
According to Gu Fengzhu himself, no one is taking over this job now, and the elder Dangxiangjun is deliberately finding fault with him, waiting to trick him..."
The three of them were eating barbecue, and Zhang Deming and Li Shifan kept communicating, learning about the various changes in Tianlingmen over the past ten years.
······
After a long time, after getting to know each other well, the three of them set off towards the sect.
Because they can fly, it took more than half a day to get out of the Hengduan Mountains and enter the shallow area where the disciples were mixed. The three stopped, Qu Qingxian said:
"Then that's all for today. The junior will go back to the clan first. Another day, when you are free, the junior will definitely come to visit."
"With your current cultivation level, the Qu family has not yet entered the inner sect?" Zhang Deming asked doubtfully.
If he remembers correctly, there are only dozens of three-talented masters in Tianlingmen, all of them are at the peak master level, and there are only three or five in each peak. With Qu Qingxian's current cultivation base, it shouldn't be difficult to sneak into the inner sect and become a big inner sect family.
Qu Qingxian smiled and said: "There is no need for that, our Qu family now includes ordinary disciples, and there are only a hundred or so, most of them are just born half-children.
In addition, I built a small family in Huayue City, relying on the Huashui Palace area, and it's pretty good now! "
While speaking, Qu Qingxian bowed to the two of them again, and said: "The junior will take his leave first."
He was very tacit throughout the whole process, and never mentioned the harvest in the cave.
Zhang Deming frowned slightly, flipped his hands and threw several blood-red beads, saying: "This is the blood of those bat demons, although it is a bit mixed, but these are the blood of the Four Elephant Stage, so they should be worth a few dollars. "
"This..." Qu Qingxian didn't pick up the thing immediately, and said hesitantly: "This time..."
"I don't really like to talk about these things. Since it's a joint exploration, these are what you deserve. Besides, these things are really like that to me." Zhang Deming said without much shyness.
Li Shifan's face froze, and Qu Qingxian's delayed words were also paused, saying: "Then, I would like to thank the manager for his generosity!"
While speaking, he collected the things, saluted Zhang Deming again, transformed into a black dragon, and shot away.
"Has the faction fighting in Zongli become more and more fierce in recent years? No one cares about it?" Zhang Deming asked with a frown as he looked at Qu Qingxian's somewhat bleak back.
Li Shifan paused and thought for a while before he understood what Zhang Deming said. With a bitter smile, he said: "Brother, where are you going? If you run on the poor family again, a family with three talents like the Qu family will not be considered a poor family!"
"Then why is he so disappointed?" Zhang Deming asked suspiciously.
"Alas..." Li Shifan sighed suddenly when he heard the words, "It must be a hard fortune telling for the head of the Qu family. The clan was robbed twice, and the entire Qu family, which was not big or small, was only left There were more than ten or twenty people.
At that time, I hadn't received much benefits from the alliance, and my cultivation base was just like that. Although the Zongmen did their best to help, but after all, so many families were affected by the disaster back then.
So most of them are a bowl of water, let’s support them normally. It may have chilled his heart a little bit, coupled with several experiences, let him walk away from the guardian of the evil dragon.
People become more and more gloomy, and they become less and less gregarious. With the alliance, I don't want to rely on dispensable sects anymore, so I chose to go to Huashui Palace to set up a secret whisperer trading party.
These are a few acquaintances in our alliance. You haven't seen him getting along with outsiders, it's like strangers don't enter. "
Is that so?
Listening to Li Shifan's words, Zhang Deming recalled the information related to Tianlingmen, and probably understood why the Qu family was mixed up like this.
Therefore, he was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Master Qu... It's really a bit of bad luck!"
"No!" Li Shifan replied.
"However, it can be regarded as repaying the father's debt, and it is a blessing that the family has not been exterminated!" Zhang Deming sighed.
"Huh? Brother, what do you mean by this? Did someone in their family commit a big crime?" Li Shifan said like this. This family is considered experienced, so they are very sensitive, and they can understand that kind of thing.
Hearing this, Zhang Deming said, "You have all four images, and you haven't contacted the inner circle of the sect yet?"
