Chapter one hundred and seventy-two marriage proposal
"Ah Jing, I just received the news that Hall Master Bai is dead."
"Ah, which Hall Master Bai?"
"The Demon Control Hall selects the leader of Feng Hall, Bai Zhanyu. My original deputy and later successor."
"What? Him! How could he? Is he a demon?"
"Hmm."
In the study, Zhao Beiqing nodded with a heavy face and told Taoist He Jing what happened:
"He personally led a small team yesterday to patrol the Black Devil Ridge area as usual. You know, this is Commander Kuang's rule. Frontline patrols must be led by the leader or deputy leader to reduce casualties..."
"As a result, he was attacked by demons. He and ten people from the patrol team were killed on the spot. Later, nearly a hundred people from the Xuanfeng Hall who rushed to the rescue were killed, including Qian, the deputy director."
"Ren Qian! He, he is also dead?" The woman couldn't help covering her face, and a low cry came from between her fingers: "What's going on, two Zifu, a hundred foundation builders..."<
/p>
"The ones who ambush are five demon commanders." Zhao Beiqing looked serious.
"Magic Commander, five? How could there be so many?" Zhang Hejing asked in surprise.
"The cracks in the magic cloud are expanding..."
Zhang Hejing's beautiful eyes widened instantly: "The crack is expanding! Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?"
"Hey, I didn't want to make you worry, so I didn't tell you." Zhao Beiqing sighed: "In the past few years, I have often received letters from subordinates from the Xuanfeng Hall, telling me that the cracks in Moyun have become bigger and bigger.
Usually you don’t meet a single magic commander in four or five years, but in the five years since I left, there have been four.”
"But no one could have imagined that this fifth time, five demon commanders would appear all at once!"
According to the division of the Zhenyu Realm, the Demon Commander is roughly equivalent to the Master Zifu on the human side. Below him are the Demon General and the Demon Soldier, which correspond to the Foundation Establishment and Qi Training Monks respectively. Above it are the Demon King, Demon Lord and Demon Soldier.
They respectively correspond to the True Lord Jindan, the True Lord Yuanying and the True Lord Transforming God. As for those above them, the Zhenyu world has never heard of them.
In the demon battlefield in Hanzhou, due to the restrictions of the Demon Cloud Crack, it is almost impossible for high-level demons above the Demon King to cross over, and it took several years for the Demon Commander to meet one. On the other hand, the Demon Generals and Demon Soldiers below are like a big river.
The water is endless.
Therefore, in Hanzhou, it is not difficult for Kuangshuai, a golden elixir, with several purple mansions from the Demon Control Palace and a group of experienced foundation-building Qi-training disciples to deal with the invasion of demons. Of course, because of the number of demons
numerous, and their means
The world is treacherous and changeable, so one should not be careless at ordinary times. The monks of Yumo Palace still have to work harder and more dangerously than other Yunxiao Sect members who are in the mainland. This has also caused many monks to view Hanzhou as a fearful road and are unwilling to go there.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hejing suddenly remembered something:
"Did this happen to Moyun Crack when you left?"
"Now that I think about it, when I left, the crack was already expanding." Zhao Beiqing said solemnly: "It was just that the amplitude was not large at the time. There had been similar fluctuations in the past, so no one cared."
"My former subordinates thought that I had received the news in advance and was transferred because of connections, which caused a lot of rumors. Even Kuang Shuai, I heard there was quite a bit of criticism."
Zhang Hejing was speechless. Of course she knew the real reason why Zhao Beiqing was transferred back. The question is, if you say it, how many of you will believe it?
Looking at the frowning senior brother, it seemed that he had never seen such a solemn expression on his face in these years. Zhang Hejing couldn't help but feel his heartstrings touched, and stepped forward to hold the man's hands tightly.
"What happened later," she changed the topic: "Such a big thing happened. Where is Kuang Shuai? Didn't he rush over?"
"Of course he went," Zhao Beiqing continued to describe the contents of the jade slip: "But you also know that he is in charge of the Demon Castle, which is a thousand miles away from the Black Demon Ridge. When he arrived, the five Demon Commanders
He had already escaped, but he was still asked to chase down one of them and kill him."
Zhang Hejing's tense pretty face relaxed slightly, then became worried again:
"Will the cracks continue to grow?"
"It's hard to say," Zhao Beiqing slowed down in speaking and looked extremely serious: "Some people even suspect that our Zhenyu Realm is getting closer to the Demon Realm!"
"Oh my God! Doesn't this lead to a realm war!" Zhang Hejing cried out.
"I hope it's a false alarm!" Seeing the dull atmosphere, Zhao Beiqing deliberately pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile:
"Besides, there are real people up there, there are ancestors, and even the old man from the Eastern Region is supporting us! Let's not worry about it."
He talked about another incident: "When I came here just now, Dai's family sent an invitation, inviting us to come over in the afternoon. Let's just pack up and go!"
……
Among the people invited by the Dai family, in addition to Zhao Beiqing and Zhang Hejing, there were also Qin Wan, two elders of the Zhao family, Zhao Yuer and her maid Caiyun.
The Dai family also has a courtyard in Zhuiyun Mountain, which covers a large area and is only a few miles away from Baoyuan Hall.
The group set off at the right time and arrived at the Dai family's residence in about a quarter of an hour.
The fifth elder took out the invitation and handed it to the concierge. Soon a housekeeper hurried over and ushered everyone into the mansion.
Looking at his cultivation, this butler actually has the strength of the late stage of foundation building. The strength of the Jindan family is extraordinary and comparable to other families.
Under the guidance of the housekeeper, the Zhao family walked through the corridor, passed through the corner gate, passed countless green tiles, pavilions and pavilions, and finally arrived at a gorgeous hall.
The two guards checked the invitation again and made a respectful gesture. Then a maid came out and led everyone into the palace.
On the high platform in the center of the hall, there was an old woman with silver-colored hair sitting on her temples. She was dressed plainly and looked at everyone with a smile.
Zhao Beiqing raised his eyebrows slightly, but suppressed his inner emotions, stepped forward and saluted:
"Zhexi has met Senior Sister Chunci."
The old woman smiled and nodded: "Junior brother Zhexi, you don't have to be polite. I am old and my hair is all white. I don't like to move around recently. I hope you don't blame me for not going out to greet you."
After speaking, he ordered everyone to sit down.
Zhao Beiqing said he didn't dare and immediately sat down at the guest seat. Even so, he still had to look up at the woman every time he spoke, which made him feel a little unhappy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This old woman's surname is Dai, her given name is Qing, and her nickname is Master Chunci. Her cultivation level is in the middle stage of Zifu, not as good as him, but she is very old, having lived for eight years.
For the Zifu monks, this is already an old age.
However, this person's identity is not simple.
She was born as a maid, but she is the current Jindan ancestor of the Dai family. The maid that Dai Chenghong has been with since childhood is the person he trusts most.
Dai Cheng, who has the three spiritual roots of red gold, wood and fire, is good at alchemy and weapon refining. After relying on a large number of resources to build himself up to the golden elixir realm, he also supported this maid with mediocre qualifications all the way to the Zi Mansion.
In the Dai family, Master Chunci is the incarnation of Patriarch Chenghong. Every word and sentence she speaks represents the will of the Patriarch, and no clan member is allowed to violate it.
Her power is such that even the patriarch has to be submissive in front of her.
Of course, she has been deeply trusted by Dai Chenghong for hundreds of years, not only because of their close relationship, but also because this woman is accustomed to making suggestions, and her suggestions can often hit Dai Chenghong's mind, which makes him happy.
Accept.
So when Zhao Beiqing saw this old woman receiving him today, his heart skipped a beat, wondering if something could go wrong.
However, judging from the situation, Master Chun Ci was actually very kind-hearted at this time, chatting frequently with everyone in the Zhao family, especially Yue'er, who was praised repeatedly.
After half an hour of this, an old man came over and saluted her.
"This is the shopkeeper of my Dai family who is in charge of business in Zhoucheng," Dai Qing introduced: "Junior brother Zhexi, please arrange for someone to talk to him now. You have already agreed on the strategy with Yunqing Palace, and we don't have any plans here either.
There will be complications, so please don’t worry.”
Zhao Beiqing felt reassured and quickly stood up to express his thanks.
The fifth elder and the sixth elder stood up immediately and were about to follow the shopkeeper. Qin Wan also stood up, but was stopped by Dai Qing:
"Xi'er," she ordered the maid who had been standing by: "Take Mrs. Qin, Taoist He Jing, and Miss Yue'er to see the young lady."
"Junior brother Zhexi," she turned to Zhao Beiqing and said: "I heard that you are good at fire magic. I have collected several fire magic weapons here. I also asked my junior brother to come with me and help me taste them." "How dare you disobey me?" Zhao Beiqing became very curious when he heard this and immediately thanked him.
Qin Wan and the other four people here followed the girl named Xi'er.
……
"Excuse me, Sister Xi'er," Caiyun stepped forward with a smile and greeted the girl: "Who is this young lady we are going to see?"
A Jindan family like this, plus mortals who cannot cultivate immortality, has been passed down for countless generations. Among them, there are countless people who are direct descendants and have noble status. A young lady appears randomly, who knows who it is?
The Zhao family is actually in the same situation. Qin Wan is only called Young Madam when she is in Zhao Mansion, the county town. When she returns to Zhao Town, she cannot be called her like this, otherwise it will easily lead to chaos.
So Caiyun asked this question on behalf of the Zhao family. You have to figure out who you want to see!
"She is the daughter-in-law of the seventh master, the wife of the eighth master, and the mother of the ninth master." Xi'er said honestly.
Everyone was even more confused. What does the seventh master, eighth master, and ninth master mean?
The confused people were led into a rather elegant courtyard, and outside the courtyard they saw a lady wearing a phoenix pearl and emerald crown.
This woman looks to be in her thirties, with extremely beautiful appearance. She is also a monk and has the ability to practice Qi to perfection.
This woman was very enthusiastic. She took Qin Wan's hand affectionately as soon as she came up and introduced her surname as Xue, her given name was Yuan, and she was also a casual cultivator.
"As soon as I saw my sister, I felt very friendly," Xue Ju said with a smile, "My sister also comes from a small family and is a non-commercial cultivator. I can only tell my sister about the hard work during this period!"
Her unabashed attitude won Qin Wan some favor, so he held her hand and walked into the living room inside the courtyard.
The group of guests sat down respectively, and servants served spiritual tea, while Na Xi'er said goodbye and left.
Qin Wan politely chatted with her for a few words and finally figured out her identity.
It turns out that in the Dai family, these seven masters, eight masters, and nine masters are honorific titles that only one kind of person can enjoy.
That is Dai Chenghong's biological brother - the direct descendant of Dai Chengfeng.
The two siblings had a great relationship back then, but it was a pity that Dai Chengfeng did not have the qualifications to become an immortal and died early.
After his death, he left behind a son. Dai Chenghong was already a foundation-building monk at that time and had some financial resources, so he gave his nephew a female monk.
After that, Dai Chengfeng's direct descendants will, under the arrangement of Dai Chenghong, name Nuxiu as their head wife and leave descendants.
As a result, if any of these descendants have the qualifications to cultivate immortality, Dai Chenghong will personally teach them for a while. Over time, except for the original Dai Chengfeng, these other people will be called the second master and the third master in turn, and this has always been the case.
Continue.
"God also blessed me, the Dai family," Xue Yu said happily: "My child was also found to have the spiritual root of cultivating immortals when he was ten years old, so he was also called the Ninth Young Master by them."
"Oh," Qin Wan asked casually, "I wonder where this Ninth Young Master is now and what his cultivation level is?"
"My Ah Jiu," mentioned her son, Xue Kuan was even more excited: "But with the qualifications of the dual spiritual roots of metal and earth, he is a disciple of the Yunxiao Sect Zhenguo Hall. He is twenty-seven years old this year, and he has perfected his qi cultivation. He will be here soon.
We need to build a foundation!"
"Of course, compared to your Yue'er, her qualifications are dull." Xue Ju said with envy.
Qin Wan was polite but felt strange in her heart.
At this moment, a young girl walked in and saluted Xue Juan: "I have met the eighth aunt."
Immediately, he greeted Zhao Yue'er again: "Sister Yue'er, you are here!"
Zhao Yue'er was sitting uncomfortably, and was very happy to see her: "Sister Miaoying, hello!"
"Miaoying, take Yue'er out to play!" Xue Ju warned with a smile and quietly winked at Dai Miaoying.
The two little girls held hands and jumped out, with Caiyun following closely behind.
Xue Yu's eyes stayed on Zhao Yue'er's back for a while, then she turned around and looked at Qin Wan with a bright face:
"Sister Wan'er, we cultivators don't have so many twists and turns, let's be honest. The more I see your Yue'er, the more I like it. I feel like my own daughter. So, I want to give my family nine
My brother is proposing marriage. It would be a good idea for our two families to have two surnames. What do you think?"
……
In the garden, Zhao Yueer called out to Dai Miaoying.
"Isn't that ninth brother of yours the ninth in the family? Why did he become the eighth master's son again?"
"I only say this to outsiders, so as to avoid troublesome explanations." Dai Miaoying said weakly.
"Sister Dai," Zhao Yue'er looked serious: "You didn't say anything the whole way and you called me to this garden, but what's the matter?"
Dai Miaoying sighed and did not answer. Suddenly her heart moved and she looked towards the corner of the garden.
Zhao Yue'er also looked after her, and saw a handsome man in white with long eyebrows and stunning starry eyes walking out of the corner of the path.
The man stepped forward to the three girls and bowed deeply to Zhao Yue'er:
