The woman in luxurious palace clothes slowly stood up, smelling the faint fragrance.
Zhan Li never dared to raise his head.
There was an unusually sacred smell about the beautiful woman in palace attire. She was wearing a mask, but her whole body looked like a god walking in the world.
But she is indeed the messenger of God on earth.
She is a temple blessing personally selected by the Red Flower Empress, and is also the chief host of the Red Flower Club. She has profound spiritual practice.
At this moment, she seemed to resonate with the huge eight-armed golden body of gods and demons in the center of the temple.
In Zhan Li's eyes, it was like the arrival of a real god.
Zhan Li didn't dare to complain at all.
Seeing him enduring the pain, a faint light flashed across the body of the eight-armed god and demon gold, and he calmed down for a moment.
"Since you can't handle it, you don't have to worry about it. I will let someone else handle it!!"
"But if you make a mistake, you will be punished. From today on, you will be removed from the duty of protecting the law and reduced to an ordinary believer! You will no longer enjoy the blessing of divine power!"
Zhan Li didn't dare to raise his head when he heard this, but just said: "Thank you, Master, for your forgiveness!"
The host snorted coldly, looking not very satisfied.
At this moment, a thick and sinister cold air appeared around her body, and as she waved her hand, she saw a mass of dark black air flowing deep in the temple.
A moment later, deep inside the temple, a shadow emerged silently from the darkness.
This shadow seemed to come out of the wall, with dark and obscure ideas flowing around it.
As soon as this figure appeared, Zhan Li suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Looking at this strange and strange gaze, he felt that the energy and blood in his body was frozen, and his heart stopped.
"Shadow Demon, it's up to you to take care of this matter!"
"yes!"
The shadow demon's eyes were as dark as an ancient well, but there was strong resentment inside, and he disappeared into the room in a moment.
Seeing this shadow demon leave.
A faint smile appeared in the eyes of the beautiful woman in palace attire, and then her charming eyes looked at the goddess in the hall.
"Empress, everything I do is for our foundation. You need faith and incense, but what I need is luck and a chance!"
"And if I don't build the foundation, how can you, the empress, grow the incense and continue to enjoy such worship!"
…
Under Suolong Pass, in a simple courtyard.
Boom!!
On this day, a muffled sound of thunder slowly emerged in the yard, and a red thunderbolt was seen passing through the void.
An abandoned stone mill in the distance immediately turned into powder!
Zhang Jian looked at this scene, with traces of crimson light appearing in his eyes, and a little thunder jumping in his hands. After a month of polishing, he finally further imprinted the Thunder Movement Technique into the depths of his mind.
Although he has not been able to completely get rid of the influence of the talisman medium, he has gradually reached the threshold.
How could this not make Zhang Jian feel happy?
Next, all you need to do is to completely stabilize the talisman in your mind and imprint it into reality, and finally you can complete the small goal of rubbing the thunder with your hands.
The current progress is still very fast.
Within a month, with the help of spiritual induction, he gradually controlled the thunder. Zhang Jian estimated that his lightning-attribute spiritual roots should be considered extremely excellent.
Even if it is normal, his spiritual thoughts can vaguely sense the ubiquitous power of thunder and lightning in the world.
This kind of special perception should not be possessed by many cultivators.
In addition, he also has a clue about the use of Dragon Balls, and this month has been a fruitful one.
With a smile on his face, Zhang Jian liked this feeling very much.
It's like entering a subject for the first time and finally starting to progress from the shallower to the deeper.
He glanced around.
A month ago, he specially found another residence like this in front of Suolong Pass. For many people, this kind of residence is probably the least ideal living environment.
Because the noise is too loud.
The sound of flood discharge is too noisy.
But for him, it is a treasured place. Not only can he temper his state of mind, but he can also cover up the sound of thunder produced by practicing the thunder method.
Zhang Jian glanced around, with a look of reluctance in his eyes. If possible, he would like to stay here for a while, but Qi Yi's birthday is approaching, and he still has to put some thought into it.
The reason is that news came from Zhang Yi and Zhang Qi some time ago.
Let him try to find some more "intentional" birthday gifts.
The reason was that Zhang Yi received news that this time Qi Mansion was celebrating his birthday, but his aunts and uncles had "no moral ethics" and were preparing to be involved in internal affairs. Naturally, the Zhang family could only prepare a few more things.
Otherwise, the antique jades found in some ancient tombs alone may not be able to win over others.
The Zhang family now needs to borrow the power of the Qi family to open up the situation. Even if they don't need to borrow the power of the Qi family, at least they can't let the Qi family become an obstacle, so Zhang Yi temporarily asked him to be more attentive.
…
Zhang Jian was going to visit some old streets in Fengyang County.
Zhang Jian just returned to Qi Mansion when he saw a beautiful girl walking towards him. This girl was young and wore a bun. When she saw Zhang Jian's figure, her eyes lit up and she greeted her first.
"Brother Zhang!"
"Sister Linlang?"
Zhang Jian had noticed this cousin a long time ago, with a slight smile on his face. There was something strange in his eyes, but he still nodded and smiled.
"Sister Gu, are you going to the flower garden to enjoy the flowers?"
Gu Linlang's pure eyes stared at Zhang Jian and said: "Brother Zhang, I heard that the golden chrysanthemums in the flower garden are blooming extremely gorgeously. I want to see it, brother Zhang, or let's go and enjoy the flowers together!"
She did not shy away from Zhang Jian's eyes, and there was still a look of yearning in her eyes.
Zhang Jian shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm going to live up to Sister Linlang's kindness. Today, I have made an appointment with several counties in the same year to go to Tiexian Temple in the east of the city to offer incense together. I'm afraid..."
Zhang Jian declined politely.
Gu Linlang muttered: "This is a pity!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Jian smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt to make an appointment next time!"
Zhang Jian still felt helpless.
Ever since they first met at the family dinner, this cousin of the Gu family had invited him intentionally or unintentionally. Zhang Jian was more or less aware of her intentions, but he was somewhat insensitive to this.
Although Gu Linlang is not the kind of utilitarian noblewoman, and it may be just the request of her elders, he doesn't have that much to worry about now.
However, he did not expect that the Gu family would actually consider marrying the Zhang family.
Zhang Jian found it a bit funny. He didn't know when he had become a favorite, and there was such a daughter of a noble family rushing to show his kindness.
However, if the Gu family marries the Zhang family, they will indeed make a lot of money.
Not to mention the current power and influence of the Zhang family, the existence of the two immortal cultivators in the Zhang family may be a timely help to the Gu family today.
But for the Zhang family, the Gu family is not the only choice.
The "accidental encounter" in the flower garden soon spread to the ears of those who were interested.
In the second room
Qi Wanshi frowned, Gu Linlang approached Zhang Jian again and again, but naturally she could not escape the eyes of her and some interested people in the Qi family.
Mrs. Qi Wan couldn't understand that the Gu family, regardless of their family status, would directly let their noble daughter condescend to contact a foreign man. This was a bit unbelievable.
As a prominent and powerful family in the county, the Gu family is no less powerful than the Qi family.
Although Zhang Jian can be regarded as an outstanding person, as a noble daughter of the Gu family, he can definitely target the princes, nobles, or aristocratic families.
As for local wealthy families like the Zhang family, even if they have some wealth, their appeal may be limited.
"Even if a young candidate is promising, it will take at least ten years, or even decades, to form an influence..."
Qi Wanshi lowered her head and thought, but she still had to stop him no matter what.
Zhang Jian was originally the 'best son-in-law candidate' in her eyes.
Even if it were to be given to the Gu family, they would have to wait until their two daughters made their decision.
