The force behind Shenbingfang is the "Six Paths Alliance", and no force dares to offend this super force easily.
Now the "beast tide" outside the city no longer poses any threat to Zhenyue Immortal City. If they want to leave the city, Ren Tianxing, the city lord of Zhenyue Immortal City, will not be able to force them to stay in the city.
After all, even the Kunwu sect he was relying on was not enough in front of the entire "Six Paths Alliance".
However, although Ren Tianxing could not force the people in the Shen Weapang to keep an eye on them, he had restricted the number of people they could leave the city, restricting them to recruiting no more than ten monks in the city to serve as caravan guards.
With only ten places available, the Shen Weapang must of course select the best from the monks who want to go out of the city with them, and select ten monks who can fight to serve as caravan guards.
Therefore, before Zhou Yang left the city, he had several battles with several monks.
With his current methods, it is almost impossible for monks below the ninth level of foundation establishment to be his opponent. Naturally, there is no doubt about the outcome of this battle.
When the ten guardians were finally selected, it was no surprise that he became the only middle-stage foundation-building monk among the ten.
"Awesome, awesome. I didn't expect that fellow Daoist Zhou's cultivation would be so great, but his skills were so good. The slave family really made a mistake at the beginning!"
In the fighting venue arranged by Shenbingfang, when Zhou Yang defeated two competitors in a row, Hua Yuerong, the female shopkeeper on the second floor of Shenbingfang who was watching the battle, flashed a look of surprise on her pretty face, and looked at him with brilliant eyes.
He praised her endlessly.
Dong Jianping, who was also watching the battle, heard her words and sighed with a wry smile: "That's not the case! Fellow Daoist Hua, you have never been to the city to participate in the battle. Otherwise, if you knew, Brother Zhou would have died in this beast wave.
There are more than twenty third-level monsters under his command, and you will know how abnormal Brother Zhou's strength is!"
What he didn't say in his mind was that Zhou Yang was able to subdue even the third-order high-grade monster gryphon. His true combat power would certainly not be as simple as what was revealed now.
However, only the two of them know about the griffon being subdued by Zhou Yang. Without Zhou Yang's permission, he will naturally not talk about it and bring trouble to Zhou Yang.
But even so, the achievements that came out of his mouth deeply shocked Hua Yuerong.
"Do you, fellow Daoist Dong, really mean what you said?"
Hua Yuerong looked at Dong Jianping with a moved expression, her voice trembling a little.
One person killed twenty or thirty third-level monsters in this "beast tide". This achievement was achieved several times among the surviving foundation-building monks in the city. It is estimated that there are only a few top-notch ninth-level foundation-building monks.
Monks can do it.
It is unbelievable that Zhou Yang, who is only at the fifth level of foundation building, has such achievements. Even a monk from a well-known family like Hua Yuerong cannot believe that this is true.
"Flower Daoist, don't be fooled by Brother Dong. Zhou killed a lot of monsters, but they were all killed by cooperating with him on the top of the city, and many of them were killed with the help of the [Monster Hunting Crossbow].
!”
Dong Jianping was about to confirm to Hua Yuerong that he was not lying, but Zhou Yang's spiritual consciousness was so powerful that he heard their conversation and came over in time to interrupt what he wanted to say.
When he heard Zhou Yang's words, he still didn't understand what Zhou Yang was thinking. He immediately gave Zhou Yang an apologetic look and hurriedly said, "Hahaha, look at how scared you are, fellow Taoist Hua. If Brother Zhou is really that kind,
With such strength, why would you be willing to leave Zhenyue Immortal City? Wouldn’t it be good to stay here to kill monsters and earn spiritual stones?”
"Is this really the case?"
Hua Yuerong looked at Dong Jianping with a pretty face and then looked at Zhou Yang, obviously not believing what Dong Jianping said.
However, Zhou Yang did not want to continue this topic with her at this time, so he changed the subject and asked: "Since Zhou has obtained the escort quota, I wonder if Fellow Hua Taoist can inform Zhou of the specific departure date?"
Hua Yuerong can be the shopkeeper on the first floor of the Shenbingfang, so she is naturally friendly and sophisticated. As soon as Zhou Yang's attitude that he didn't want to talk about his own strength was revealed, she immediately stopped the matter wisely and followed Zhou Yang's instructions.
replied:
"It's not urgent yet. Our senior Meng from Shenbingfang is in contact with senior Jia Yunzhen and wants to ask senior Jia to be the guard general of our caravan. If we can reach an agreement, we will set off in a few days. By then we will
I will send a message to inform fellow Taoist Zhou that you are coming to join us!"
"Oh, if we can really persuade Senior Jia to accompany him, then there should be no problem with the safety of the caravan!"
Zhou Yang's eyes lit up and he was extremely happy about the news revealed by Hua Yuerong.
Others don't know Jia Yun's real strength, but he, who has also practiced "Dayan Sword Art", knows it best.
In particular, Jia Yunzhen is now likely to have mastered the secret technique of "Blood Demonic Sword" obtained from him.
With Jia Yunzhen's monstrous blood evil spirit, if he could forge a "blood evil demon sword", the magic sword would definitely be a shocking blow when it comes out!
"This depends on what Senior Jia means. After all, he has been in Zhenyue Fairy City for hundreds of years and has deep feelings for this fairy city. It would be very difficult for him to leave Fairy City at this time.
!”
Hua Yuerong shook her head, as if she was not very optimistic about inviting Jia Yunzhen to accompany her.
Next, Zhou Yang and Hua Yuerong discussed the rewards and obligations for accepting the employment of Shenbingfang, and then returned to the cave with Dong Jianping with the deposit of two thousand spirit stones given by Hua Yuerong.
The standard for recruiting guards in the Divine Weapon Workshop is high, and the treatment is not bad. Each selected guard is rewarded with six thousand spiritual stones. You can choose spiritual stones, or you can choose to choose a third-level mid-grade magic weapon from the Divine Weapon Workshop.
Of course Zhou Yang chose the spirit stone as his reward, so according to the rules, Hua Yuerong paid him one-third of the deposit first.
"Brother Zhou, I'm really sorry for what happened earlier. Dong made a mistake and almost made a big mistake!"
In Zhou Yang's cave, as soon as Dong Jianping and Zhou Yang returned, he immediately apologized for his previous gaffe that exposed Zhou Yang's record.
When Zhou Yang heard this, he waved his hand generously and said: "Brother Dong, there is no need to blame yourself. It is also Zhou who has not told Brother Dong about this matter before, and the matter has already passed."
"Thank you, Brother Zhou, for your understanding."
Dong Jianping thanked him, and then with a flash of light in his eyes, he suddenly said: "There is something that Dong has wanted to ask for a long time, but he never knew whether he should ask. Now that Brother Zhou is about to leave, this farewell, you and I may be
We won’t see each other again, I wonder if Brother Zhou can satisfy Dong’s curiosity?”
"Oh, what do you want to ask, Brother Dong?" Zhou Yang focused his eyes and looked at Dong Jianping with a serious face, suddenly having a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, he heard Dong Jianping say: "Brother Zhou told Dong that it was his first time to hunt monsters in the Duanyun Mountains. I'm afraid this statement is true. It's just Brother Zhou's true origin. I'm afraid it's not true."
Is it the monk from a certain family in Liuyun Continent that Brother Zhou himself said?"
"Dong really can't figure out which foundation-building cultivator of any immortal cultivating family in Liuyun Continent doesn't even know about the Beast Control Sect and the [Demon Soul Contract]. Moreover, Brother Zhou's behavior in some places since he entered the city,
It’s also very confusing.”
"So, Brother Zhou, you are not a monk in our Immortal Cultivation World in Liuyun Continent!"
"Am i right?"
silence.
Zhou Yang looked at Dong Jianping with an indifferent expression and said nothing.
He rarely had contact with other monks in Zhenyue Immortal City. The other monks could not see that his origin was normal. However, Dong Jianping personally brought him out of the Duanyun Mountains and was the monk with whom he had the most contact in the past few years. He was able to discover
The abnormality on his body, and guessing his true identity, is not too surprising.
Dong Jianping was able to successfully build a foundation as a casual cultivator and reach the current state of cultivation. It would be really strange if he didn't even have this ability to observe and judge.
But he didn't expect that Dong Jianping would ask this question at this time, which made it difficult for him to answer the other party for a while.
However, his attitude was enough for Dong Jianping to understand the answer.
He just nodded slightly, looked at him with a serious face and said, "Dong understands, Brother Zhou, there is no need to say more, everyone has his secrets, why doesn't Dong have any secrets?"
"Brother Zhou, don't worry. Even Dong's son doesn't know your true origin, and Dong can swear with his Taoist heart that he will never tell a third party about Brother Zhou's true origin in this life!"
"In the end, Brother Zhou saved Dong in danger several times. Although Dong is a casual cultivator, he also knows that a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, let alone a life-saving grace. This is Dong's heart.
, please don’t refuse, Brother Zhou!”
After Dong Jianping finished speaking, he suddenly patted the storage bag, took out a jade box, opened it and handed it to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang looked around and saw that what was placed in the jade box was a jade slip and a sparkling fourth-level low-grade spiritual talisman.
"This jade slip records a secret technique of concealing aura. It was obtained by Dong during an adventure in his early years. Over the years, Dong was able to go to the Duanyun Mountains many times to hunt monsters and collect elixirs. This secret technique
Indispensable contribution!”
"As for this fourth-level low-grade spiritual talisman [Yimu Divine Escape Talisman], it was also purchased by Dong Mou more than ten years ago. At that time, Dong bought this spiritual talisman just because he was afraid that if he encountered a fourth-level monster in the Duanyun Mountains, he would be able to rely on it to
I used this talisman to escape, but I didn’t expect that Dong, who has been so lucky these years, never used this talisman even once!”
While Dong Jianping explained the origin and use of the two treasures in the jade box, he forced the jade box directly into Zhou Yang's hand. Finally, he smiled softly at the confused look on his face and said: "Dong knows, if
Family monks like Brother Zhou have always had a view on casual cultivators, thinking that they are shameless people who forget their righteousness for profit."
"Dong has no intention of arguing with Brother Zhou on this matter. After all, there are indeed many such people among casual cultivators. But what Dong wants to tell Brother Zhou is that no matter what other casual cultivators are like, I, Dong Jianping, have never been responsible for anything in my life.
Be kind to my people!”
"In this way, Dong will leave first. When Brother Zhou sets out, Dong will come again to see fellow Taoist farewell!"
