Chapter 359: The Shackles of Divine Consciousness (2 in 1)(1/2)
Come to the edge of the city.
With the young master's carriage marking the way, the journey into the city was smooth.
Then I followed the young master to the majestic city lord's mansion in the center of the city. I met the city lord and had a polite conversation with him. The young master also took the lead, and the city lord was also very talkative.
The city lord also had a good relationship with the young master. After confirming Zhang Feng's realm and having a long conversation with the young master who had returned from traveling, he stamped a document for Zhang Feng.
Everything is kept simple and there is less talk.
Just take the last step and ask someone to ask for the deacon in the sect.
I heard from the city lord that due to the incident in the medicine garden, the sect was very busy during this period, and the deacon who was stationed in the city before went back.
You need to wait for two days.
When Zhang Feng heard this, he was happy to wait.
After all, he is about to enter a sect with earthly immortals, and his identity is still an ascendant.
It would be best if we can stabilize it for two more days.
And after that.
Everyone came to the guest reception hall in the main hall of the city lord's mansion.
Everything is arranged.
The city lord summoned a messenger and asked him to set off without any delay to find the outer deacon of the sect.
When Zhang Feng saw this, he knew that it was time for him to practice.
If you can practice more before the deacon comes, you will have more energy to gain a foothold in the sect.
At the same time, he was polite to the city lord and young master, mostly with words of thanks.
Later, I accepted the invitation of the city lord and attended a dinner party, chatting over a few glasses of wine.
Zhang Feng said a few polite words to a few others, and felt that the time was almost up, so he roughly told them that he would not attend the banquet in the next few days.
I am going to take advantage of the time when the messenger is sending messages to the deacons to practice some meditation.
When the city lord and others heard this, they showed no extra courtesy.
Because in their opinion, this Taoist friend Zhang was given all the face he deserved, and he happily attended the dust-cleansing dinner that he was supposed to attend.
There were no awkward emotions during the journey, but they all looked like they were having a great time talking to each other.
But now it seems that Daoyou Zhang is devoted to cultivation and does not like the excitement.
The joy they felt before might also make them feel at ease.
That fellow Taoist Zhang was so considerate and such a kind person.
What else could they say, they could only arrange for a servant to find a good bedroom for Zhang Feng, one with a closed room in the backyard.
When Zhang Feng saw their arrangements, he thanked them again and followed the guards towards the courtyard of the city lord's palace.
The City Lord's Mansion is the safest place in the city. Including the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion in each city, it is also the residence of the inner disciples of Wanjian Sect. There are few unsightly people to disturb them.
The city lord treated Zhang Feng very well.
But when the young master saw the city lord's arrangement and saw Zhang Feng leaving, after waiting for a few seconds, he shook his head and said to the city lord: "I remember that Senior Brother Tang is not from the Law Enforcement Hall? How come he has become the deacon of the outer sect now?"
After the young master said this, he also asked: "Zhang Daoyou is not a member of our sect. Isn't it a little inappropriate for senior brother to arrange this?"
"Brother has his own rules." The city lord withdrew his eyes from the backyard and looked at the young master beside him, "When Brother Tang arrives, we will arrange the affairs.
As soon as Mr. Daoyou Zhang comes to the sect, he will sooner or later become the deacon of our sect's outer sect.
There is nothing wrong with the deacon of the outer gate living in the courtyard of the inner gate."
"No..." the young master denied, "Senior brother! There is a magic circle set up by the sect in the inner courtyard! Now that Zhang Daoyou lives in it, it means that the sect has not yet made a decision, and the two of us are good at making concessions.
Fellow Daoist Zhang enjoyed the spiritual energy resources within the sect..."
"Why are you so stubborn?" The city lord glanced at him, "You have to know that if fellow Daoist Zhang enters the sect, he will be the deacon of the outer sect.
After he understood the laws and regulations within the sect, how could he not know that the two of us were helping him like this?
Even if this matter is settled, Daoyou Zhang has not entered the sect.
You and I are just adding some spiritual stones to fill the gap in resources this time.
How do you calculate it, do you need me to explain it?"
As the city lord said, he analyzed the benefits and gains and losses very well.
To use a commonly used term, this is precision investment.
Even if they failed and Zhang Feng was driven out because of his evil ways, the two of them would just lose some insignificant personal wealth and make up for the lack of resources.
But if you succeed, you will gain the friendship of an outer deacon.
No matter how you think about it, it is a guaranteed profit without loss.
The city lord was very conscientious in this transaction.
But the next moment.
When the city lord saw the young master wanting to say something but not daring to say it, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He couldn't help but smile and said to the young master: "Are you worried that when the deacon comes a few days later, he will see Daoyou Zhang in the courtyard of the inner disciples?"
If I live, I will blame you?
That’s right, Junior Brother Chu’s introduction to Daoist Zhang has already been meritorious. How could he make unnecessary mistakes at this juncture?”
"Senior brother, what are you talking about?" The young master laughed dryly, as if he was being troubled, but then he hurriedly defended, "Now that the medicine garden in the sect has been opened, hundreds of sects will come to our sect during this time.
I heard that the sect has recently begun to arrest the disciples who secretly sell elixirs in the sect, and to rectify the rules and regulations of the sect.
Moreover, Senior Brother Tang, who was originally a law enforcement disciple, has now become an outer sect deacon.
Therefore, at this time, I don't think we need to offend those people in the law enforcement hall.
They do it for the sake of paying tribute, but they like to try to get more for everything!
Even though he has become a deacon now, I feel that he still looks cold and vicious...
I'm afraid I can't send him away with a few spiritual stones..."
"Huh?" The city lord was smiling at first, but when he heard this, he scolded him with a straight face: "Look at you, you just said that Brother Tang is evil, what are you saying about your senior brother now?"
"Yes, yes... what senior brother said is..." The young master did not defend himself, but continued to persuade: "But senior brother Tang came here, with his character, this matter will affect senior brother's position as city lord..."
"I said what are you worried about? It turns out that you are worried that Brother Tang will embarrass me?" The city lord waved his hands disapprovingly and said: "You see that other sects are troubled so much that you think our sect will also fight among itself?
Here I have a message for you.
It's because you are outside, so you probably don't know as much about the things inside the gate as I, the outer city lord.
You don’t even know about Brother Tang’s promotion to outer sect deacon.”
Having said this, the city lord began to talk about some recent personnel changes in the sect, "Now, the Supreme Elder is in retreat, and the current sect leader is the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall who took office.
You must have heard of his fair character to some extent, right?
It was also Elder Hu who became the current leader, and some of the outer sect deacons were selected from the original disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall."
"So that's the thing..." The young master said with a bit of a grimace, "Senior brother, you said that our leader, as the previous elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, can we not turn against the people of their Law Enforcement Hall?"
"This is correct..." The city lord seemed to be thinking for a while, but he was really persuaded by the young master.
But in the next moment, with the young master showing joy, he suddenly shook his head and said: "But your theory is all wrong."
"Hi!" The young master saw that he could not be persuaded, so he simply stopped talking and took out a small bag from his arms.
This is a storage bag containing more than a hundred spiritual stones.
"It seems that persuading senior brothers is no longer possible. We can only wait until the law enforcement finds us, and then I will persuade the senior brothers in the law enforcement hall to fill the gap in advance..."
When the young master finished speaking, he left with the intention of giving up his money and protecting his family.
He believed that as both a disciple of Wanjian Sect and as a disciple of the third elder of the Medicine Refining Hall, Deacon Tang might turn a blind eye.
When the city lord saw the young master leaving, he shook his head. He felt that the young master may have handled things reasonably well and got along well with others, but he was a bit lost in this complicated sect relationship.
Concern also leads to chaos. Regarding the issue of Mengong, the young master is a little worried about gains and losses and worries too much.
Can be at the same moment.
Zhang Feng entered the secret room like a guest and did not investigate the conversation between the two city lords.
On the contrary, Zhang Feng was looking at the innate spiritual energy formation in the secret room and the hundreds of neatly arranged high-level spiritual stones, but he felt that Wanjian Sect was grand and the city masters were interesting enough.
Just go into retreat and give me some things for daily practice.
This treatment is really similar to that of regular disciples in the sect.
If you say this is not necessary, then you are not giving face to the wealthy Wanjian Sect, and you are not giving face to the city lord and the young master.
When Zhang Fengnian reached this point, he no longer needed his own spirit stones. He walked to the formation, picked up the spirit stones in the formation and used them, consuming them first.
With his current strength, ordinary tribulation monks can use hundreds of high-level spiritual stones for ten days, which only takes one day for me.
You can feel their feelings within a day.
To be continued...
