There was a small group of three people. The ice floe under their feet was only three feet in size. The three of them stood in a crowded place and could not move around. Seeing that Zhang Ke was alone, one of them winked at his companion.
The companion understood and shouted loudly: "I have seen this fellow Taoist in Xiaguan Jinxiu!"
After saying that, he gave a salute and then said: "The ice under our feet cannot accommodate three people standing on it. Could you please ask fellow Taoists to connect with us?"
It's a good idea to take care of each other in this "dangerous" place, what do you think, fellow Taoist?"
When the word "danger" was mentioned, the tone was deliberately emphasized, and the threatening meaning was immediately obvious.
The practitioners standing on the other two ice floes were talking in low voices.
From time to time, he glanced sideways at Zhang Ke, looking at him with eager eyes, obviously not having any good intentions.
Zhang Ke pursed his lips, he didn't want to conflict with others.
But you need to show off a trick to make others not to underestimate you, otherwise it will be troublesome for someone to covet you.
His mind whirled and he said with a smile: "The poor Taoist Zhang Ke has met fellow Taoist Guan. This is a trivial matter, so why is it so difficult?"
He paused for a moment and said, "I have another way!"
After saying that, he flipped his right wrist, held a talisman with a light golden luster between his fingertips, and flicked it with his fingers.
"Whoosh!"
As fast as a meteor, it shot towards Guan Jinxiu with a little golden light.
Because the standing place is small, Guan Jinxiu cannot dodge, and the speed of this talisman is really fast.
Guan Jinxiu only had time to raise a shield-shaped magic weapon, but before it could be blocked in front of him, the talisman had already hit him.
"Pfft~!"
As soon as Fu Lufu came into contact with Guan Jinxiu's body, countless streams of light exploded, covering his whole body.
The other two people were slightly startled and moved slightly. The next scene shocked everyone.
I saw Guan Jinxiu's expression in pain, and the stream of light shining on his body.
The facial features are distorted, the body keeps twisting, and gradually shrinks.
In front of everyone's eyes, he turned into a big toad and his clothes fell to the ground.
"Hiss~!"
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath: What kind of spell is this?
"Ahem~!"
Zhang Ke covered his mouth with his right hand, coughed twice, and wrote lightly: "The space is probably enough now!"
The other two people stared blankly at the toads croaking on the ice floe.
Hearing the sound, he shuddered and said hurriedly: "That's enough!"
One of them hesitated and said: "Fellow Taoist Guan was also impulsive and asked fellow Taoist to remove the spell!"
Zhang Ke chuckled: "It doesn't matter, it'll be fine in a while!"
"Hahaha~!"
The white-haired old man from Yuanzhuan laughed and said: "If you do something wrong if you don't open your eyes, you will be punished! I Yu Qianzhong, the danger here is not small, and it is more spacious. You don't mind, let's be together.
How about we take care of each other?"
Zhang Ke thought for a moment, then bowed his hands and said, "Then I won't bother you, senior!"
After saying that, he activated the talisman to join the ice floe under his feet with Yu Qianzhong's large ice floe.
The other two groups discussed in low voices for a moment, and then they also moved their feet, and the four teams moved together.
It formed a giant ice floe that was five feet in size.
After gathering together, everyone took a deep breath, looked at each other, and felt a little close to each other.
Zhang Ke counted them and found that there were sixteen people in total.
There are men and women, and most of their cultivation is in the two realms of sitting and forgetting, and divine illumination.
Only Yu Qianzhong and another tall and thin Taoist maintained a level of cultivation.
After some conversation, it was discovered that among the people present, most were casual cultivators, and only three of them were disciples of the sect.
Almost instinctively, the three sect disciples approached each other intentionally or unintentionally.
Compared to casual cultivators, sect disciples are still accustomed to trusting sect disciples.
It was learned that one of the other two people, Yu Chengcai, came from the third-rate sect "Jiqiao Sect" and was good at using machine puppets.
The other person came from the "Three Mountains League", an unpopular sect, and was called You Hongzhang, and Zhang Ke was very interested in what he was good at.
The "Three Mountains Alliance" is said to be a sect, but in fact it is just a loose alliance established by several loose cultivators living in seclusion in the mountains in southern Dingzhou more than thirty years ago.
Although it is called Three Mountains, there are actually practitioners on more than ten nearby mountains joining it.
Signing up for a group to keep warm and exchanging supplies has become quite famous in recent years.
You Hongzhang was originally a casual cultivator, but he joined the Sanshan League two years ago after being introduced by a friend.
This time, the reason why he came out to look for opportunities was also because he had the idea of escape.
You Hongzhang is 45 years old. When he was playing in the mountains when he was a child, he accidentally entered the cave of his predecessor.
With the complete inheritance of "Paper Maker", the origami technique practiced by Zhang Ke is the entry-level foundation of "Paper Maker".
After joining the Three Mountains Alliance, he accidentally let something slip and exposed his heritage.
He was targeted by a big boss in the alliance. He asked for help several times but to no avail, and he was stumbling upon him in every possible way.
My life was quite unsatisfactory, so I went out to avoid being entangled, and I also thought about leaving the Three Mountains Alliance and traveling far away from home.
Zhang Ke pondered for a moment and said: "You, Taoist friend, have such an opportunity. It's quite enviable. I don't know."
He was a little embarrassed to open his mouth, so he hesitated and said: "I don't know. Do fellow Taoists intend to pass on the inheritance?"
Afraid that You Hongzhang would misunderstand, he hurriedly explained: "Pindao practices talismans, and this paper-maker's inheritance may be of some help to Pindao.
In addition, if fellow Taoist intends to take action, just tell me whatever conditions you have, and you will not be disappointed!"
The reason why You Hongzhang told his secret was because he had a deal in mind.
Otherwise, no one will tell their heritage easily.
Zhang Ke also realized this and asked.
You Hongzhang smiled bitterly and said: "It is not easy to inherit, but today I have to trade it out, I am ashamed of my predecessors!"
He paused for a moment and said: "Let's do this! I only need you to promise me two things, and I will trade the inheritance with you. How about that?"
"Speaking!"
You Hongzhang said slowly: "This trip to space is very dangerous. The first condition is: you need to protect my safety in this space. How about it?"
Zhang Ke frowned: "How can I dare to protect others even if I can't protect myself? Forget it, you can't force this matter!"
You Hongzhang was relieved. If Zhang Ke agreed straight away, he would not believe it.
Seeing Zhang Ke's intention to back down, he hurriedly said: "You don't need to give all your help, as long as fellow Taoist people do their best."
Zhang Ke shook his head and said: "How can I be a poor man who doesn't keep his word? If I agree, I will do my best. This place is dangerous, so I don't dare to speak big words."
You Hongzhang scratched his head a little. In fact, he also knew that "paper maker" was a novice after all. Even if Zhang Ke learned it, it would only be a reference and he would not pay too much attention to it.
He gritted his teeth and said: "100 gold talisman money!"
You Hongzhang stared at Zhang Ke and said: "As long as 100 gold talismans are spent, I will give you the entire set of inheritance, how about it?"
Zhang Ke was so happy that he almost gave up. Unexpectedly, there was a turn of events and he nodded in agreement.
The two quietly came to a corner, turned their backs to others, and quickly traded.
Zhang Ke received the complete inheritance of "Paper Maker" made of three rolls of hemp paper.
You Hongzhang got 100 gold talismans, and they both took what they needed and were extremely satisfied.
After completing the transaction in a few words, the two returned to everyone. Several people noticed their actions and couldn't help but worry about it.
