Chapter 376: Peng Zu has no country, Chen Zu has no family
Someone once said.
The world would be the same without everyone.
Zhang Heng agrees with this sentence very much.
This is also true.
Although Zhang Heng refused, the headquarters meeting continued as usual.
There may be coercion.
There may be incentives.
There may also be persuasion.
Later, Zhang Heng received news that the plan to explore Rotating City had been put on the agenda.
What Zhang Heng didn't expect was that Li Zhongtan also chose to participate.
You must know that among the twelve captains at the headquarters.
Da Bing, Zhang Yanran, is 100% from the headquarters.
There may be hidden secrets among other people.
But Li Zhongtan was definitely not, and this time he chose to agree.
Zhang Heng was surprised.
Li Zhongtan did not say the reason, but just hummed: "Chasing grass in all directions, the desert is vast, how can I be afraid of snow and wind and frost, the sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, shooting eagles with bows and galloping beyond the fortress, the dilemma between love and justice..."
A few hums.
Contains too much content.
Zhang Heng had a clear understanding.
It is true that Li Zhongtan is mentally ill, but the headquarters is his home.
Although he rarely expresses himself, in his heart, he longs for this family more than anyone else because he is an orphan.
"Live life without fear of death."
"He is indeed an interesting person."
Zhang Heng shook his head: "Unfortunately, this matter cannot be accomplished."
Times are moving forward.
Manpower cannot save it, it is destiny.
Sigh.
Zhang Heng turned around and returned to the alchemy room.
The headquarters' planning is not important to him, and there is no need to participate.
Surround the alchemy furnace.
Zhang Heng bowed with three steps and bowed with five steps.
Refining elixirs, practicing magic, and restoring strength.
It's much more important than working as a thug for the headquarters.
"Ancestor..."
Not long after, a call came from outside.
Zhang Heng's footsteps did not stop.
He could tell who the person was and why she came.
It just doesn't make any sense to him.
"Ancestor, do you really not want to do something for this era?"
"Ancestor, if we succeed, we may be able to reverse this era and allow more people to live."
outside the door.
Zhang Yanran looked eager and did not leave: "Please, this operation is very dangerous. The headquarters has all the information, so we really can't fail."
Zhang Heng responded silently.
If a world needs a person to save it, and call it the savior.
Then, it is better for this world to be destroyed quietly.
The faint yellow sky.
What will happen if he goes out?
Once, twice, three times, four times, how many times can he take care of it?
Times are changing, and those who are inappropriate will eventually be eliminated.
Zhang Heng traveled all over the country and saw too much.
I understand a truth very well: don’t stay if you have to leave.
"Ancestor, the headquarters has already made a plan."
"As long as this is successful, the headquarters will be reborn."
"The headquarters that holds the eternal catalog and the stamp of thought can completely suppress opposition voices and unleash unprecedented power."
"Over time, the headquarters captain will become a direct force under the headquarters and will no longer be responsible for specific local affairs."
"The city leaders below will also be abolished and changed to branch bureaus. The directors and members of the branch will be appointed and assigned by the headquarters in the future. It will be a new situation by then."
Zhang Yanran was still working hard: "Just think about it, the captain in the headquarters is not afraid of death, the director below is not greedy for life, and every driver is willing to dedicate everything to fight the red moon to the end. What kind of passion and passion are there.
brilliant."
Zhang Heng was still speechless.
The stamp of thought that controls people's hearts, the red moon that erodes the world.
Is there any difference whether it is controlled by the red moon or by someone who holds the stamp of thought?
The father kills the son, the mother accuses the son.
Are these people whose thoughts are dominated by themselves ultimately the same?
Although Zhang Heng cannot predict the future.
But when I think about the future, where everyone is wearing a fake smile, I feel a little shuddering.
Isn't this kind of world scary?
"Ancestor..."
I saw no one responding.
Zhang Yanran left full of disappointment.
at the corner.
Zhang Xiaohu and a group of Zhang family disciples stood there quietly.
Seeing Zhang Yanran approaching, but the ancestor Zhang Heng did not appear, one of them said: "Captain, you are a good captain, we all admire you."
"But you are not a good clan leader. We have already discussed it within the clan. If our ancestors do not agree to go to Rotary City, other Zhang family children are not allowed to go. I'm sorry, captain."
Zhang Yanran closed her eyes.
He didn't say anything, just nodded silently.
Others saw this.
There is guilt, intolerance, and hesitation.
In the end, they left without saying a word. Country, country, one is called country and the other is called home. Although they are always called together, the country is composed of two parts.
Choose a country or choose a family.
Everyone has an answer. Zhang Yanran chose to serve the country, and they, the children of the Zhang family, have a more important concept of family.
Now they have to return to Yangjiang City and Dagou Town to guard their family and territory.
I can no longer accompany Zhang Yanran on the road ahead.
"Aren't you leaving?"
Zhang Yanran opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Xiaohu, who was still standing aside.
Zhang Xiaohu shook his head slightly: "The clan elders have not deprived you of your status as the head of the family. Now you are still the head of the Zhang family. I have sworn to be loyal to you and the family forever. I will accompany you through this final journey."
Zhang Yanran wanted to laugh and cry.
When everyone rebelled and left, Zhang Xiaohu remained loyal to her, and her position as the leader of the clan was not in vain.
We lament that the world is difficult, people's hearts are foolish, and there are too few people who sacrifice themselves for justice.
"Clan leader."
"I am Zhang Xiaokui's son, Zhang Xingquan."
"Have you rested? Some elders in the clan would like to ask for your opinions."
evening.
Zhang Heng was still refining elixirs in the alchemy room when another whisper came from outside the door.
"Zhang Xingquan!"
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment.
Whether it is the Maoshan Republic of China plane or the weird Republic of China here.
The name Zhang Xingquan was given by him.
Otherwise, this child should be called Zhang Tiedan.
"come in."
Zhang Heng stopped the incantation and allowed the elixir fire to ignite spontaneously.
Crunch...
Accompanied by the sound of the door opening.
An old man who looked about seventy or eighty years old and wearing a blue Tang suit came in.
Zhang Heng looked up.
Zhang Xingquan's features were indeed very similar to Zhang Xiaokui's. Zhang Xiaokui had been his personal guard for several years, so he could not mistake this.
"Clan leader."
Seeing Zhang Heng, Zhang Xingquan shed tears before saying anything: "You drove us out of Dagou Town and sealed yourself in it. I thought I would never see you again."
Zhang Heng just smiled and did not answer the question.
Because if his true spirit hadn't descended into the world, his predecessor would have indeed been dead at this time.
"A hundred years of life."
"You are almost ninety this year, right?"
Zhang Heng glanced at Zhang Xingquan and quickly saw that his physical condition was not good: "A driver is a miserable person who has been dealing with strange laws for a long time. If you can survive to this day, you can barely be considered a member of the echelon of drivers in the Republic of China.
It’s rare to be one of them.”
Zhang Xingquan is the driver.
Moreover, the aura of law on his body is stronger than that of Zhang Yanran, and is probably on the same level as Fang Jianzhou of Shanghai Magic City, or Li Zhongtan, who has made further progress.
In terms of strength, he should be ranked in the middle of the list of drivers in the Republic of China.
Not strong, but not weak either.
A handful of old bones, if forced to fight, three or five captains will not be able to stop him, he belongs to the Zhang family's heritage.
"When people get old, they are no longer useful."
"I can't compare to you, the patriarch, who suppressed an era and made the heroes of the world bow their eyebrows."
In front of Zhang Heng.
Zhang Xingquan could only apologize.
Because most of his strength was created by the resources of the Zhang family.
In addition, he lived a long time and did not die, so he became a character over time.
"Okay, no need to say flattery."
Zhang Heng waved his hand gently: "Come here, I will give you a chance."
Zhang Xingquan came forward eagerly.
Zhang Heng didn't say anything. He stretched out a finger and pointed it at Zhang Xingquan.
The next second.
Just like a dead tree blooming with spring, Zhang Xingquan's old face appears to be more than ten years younger to the naked eye.
Suddenly my legs were no longer sore, my waist became straighter, and I felt better than ever.
"At the end of the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Wuhou used a seven-star lantern to borrow life from the sky, hoping to borrow a period of twelve years."
"It's a pity that God didn't favor it, and it failed in the end."
Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Xingquan: "You have a better life than Marquis Wu. I will extend your life for another century and seven years, which is nineteen years. I hope you can continue your efforts and protect the Zhang family for another twenty years."
Hear this.
Zhang Xingquan was not happy. Instead, he looked at Zhang Heng in shock: "Chief, your face..."
"nothing."
Zhang Heng did not look at himself.
Because to him, the number of lifespans is meaningless, as long as it is enough.
There is no need to care about appearance.
If he wants, he can absorb the vitality of others at any time to supplement his own.
Don't talk about going back to eighteen years old, it's okay to be eight years old.
It's just not necessary, otherwise he would have regained his youth long ago.
"Thank you clan leader for the reward."
"Congratulations to the patriarch for making further progress in the path of time."
Zhang Xingquan is also the driver.
After a brief moment of surprise, it soon became clear that Zhang Heng had gone further on the road of time.
In the past, Zhang Heng could not even control his own fate, so he could only lie in the coffin and wait for death.
Now, being able to lend him his life shows that the old patriarch has already half-stepped into the level of eternal life.
"I've heard too many good words."
"You probably didn't come here to flatter me this time, right?"
"If so, then you don't have to come here again."
Although Zhang Heng has deep feelings for Dagou Town and the Zhang family members.
But this does not mean that he will act as a nanny for everyone and take care of them all the time.
A family needs to have its own development path.
Relying on the support of one person is not enough, and Zhang Heng does not want to see the Zhang family come to him for help whenever they have trouble.
"Chief, don't be angry."
Seeing that Zhang Heng's tone was not kind.
Zhang Xingquan hurriedly explained: "I was recommended by everyone. I mainly want to ask what you mean. That girl Yanran has been too close to the headquarters these years and has forgotten her identity. There are also some complaints within the clan, and they feel that many things should not be done
The mixture is so deep, so..."
"So I want to ask what I mean, do you want to remove Xiao Yanran from the position of patriarch, right?"
Zhang Heng knew what Zhang Xingquan wanted to say before he could continue. He shook his head and said: "Although I have little gratitude for the country and value my family more, this does not mean that you can do the same."
"The Zhang family is, after all, descendants of Yan and Huang. The current headquarters is Chinese Orthodox, so we still need the support we deserve."
"Since Xiao Yanran is close to the headquarters, let her contribute to the headquarters on behalf of the Zhang family."
"Whether you are alive or dead, this is my Zhang family's attitude towards the orthodox dynasty."
Zhang Xingquan was a little surprised.
Because others don't know, but he knows very well that when Zhang Heng led the Zhang family to pursue the power of law, the person in charge was still the generalissimo.
Talk about orthodoxy and inheritance.
How to say this.
The generalissimo is fine.
Later, when Fatty Li came to power and became president, he also had to smile to the Zhang family.
So in the eyes of the Zhang family elders, the so-called secular imperial power is just that.
The Zhang family in Dagou Town has been passed down for hundreds of years.
When the gate was opened, the one who shouted long live was called Jiajing.
"Why, do you think my attitude is too good?"
Zhang Heng saw Zhang Xingquan's thoughts and said with a smile: "There are some things you don't understand. Peng Zu has no country and Chen Zu has no family. There are many stories in this."
Peng Zu lived eight hundred years.
When I woke up, it was already three hundred years later.
The river has changed its course, the sea has changed, the country has changed its name three times, and all the things in the past have become commonplace.
The same goes for Chen Zu.
A dream has lasted for thirty years. When I wake up, I don’t know that I am a guest.
When I returned home, I saw that all my family members were starving to death, and I sighed.
Zhang Heng is different.
He is the concept of Shaoguo, because he is an immortal and an immortal.
In the blink of an eye, the era and dynasty were not enough to carry his existence.
But this does not mean that he will forget that he comes from modern times.
He still has a sense of identity in the current society, otherwise he would not have come to the headquarters and become a consultant again, let alone leave the wishing lantern at the headquarters.
He didn't have to do it, but he did it anyway.
Why don't you want to leave some thoughts and hopes?
Unfortunately.
Heaven’s heart is unpredictable.
The human heart is also unpredictable.
He also understood why Patriarch Chen Tuan said when he met the envoys of the dynasty: "I have the method of rising to the sky in daylight, and the method of reversing yin and yang, but what good will these do to the world? You want to invite me down the mountain?
, preaching about creation, but is this really correct?”
