Early in the morning, Zhang Sui was awakened by Fang Xiong's knock on the door. Looking at the sky outside, it was just getting dark.
Fang Xiong shouted from outside: "Second Master, Second Master Huang is here."
Zhang Sui yawned and put on his clothes, and complained again and again: "This guy, if I asked him to come here earlier, it wouldn't be so early."
Last night, Zhang Sui was studying the supernatural power absorbed from Tong Yin in the void of consciousness, but he didn't know whether it was because the time had not arrived or for some reason. After the strange force was sucked into the void of consciousness, it was wrapped in a mass of merit.
, thrown in a corner.
Zhang Sui wanted to learn about the situation through the "Book of Wishful Desires" of merit, but received no response, so he had to give up.
He practiced the art of guidance and didn't rest until late at night. He wanted to sleep in for a while, but he didn't expect Huang Jian to be so impatient and come over so early.
There was no way, you couldn't leave the guests alone when they came, so Zhang Sui complained in his mind while washing up. When he came to the front hall, he saw Huang Jian, who was red-faced but with blue eyes, shaking his folding fan and drinking Xi Rou happily.
The fragrant tea was served.
Seeing Zhang Sui come in, Huang Jian stood up quickly and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Brother Zhang worked hard last night and was still resting in the morning. I'm sorry to disturb Brother Zhang's sweet dream!"
Zhang Sui said angrily: "Did Brother Huang look like this because he didn't even sleep last night? It's just midnight today!"
Huang Jian said with a smile: "I'm worried about missing my brother's important event. When I went back last night, I called the shopkeepers of several shops over and worked until midnight before I got together what you want.
However, there is no such thing as steel lin jade. It is only produced in a few specific places and is really rare on the market. I missed it last time."
After saying that, he pointed to a big box on the ground. Zhang Sui was speechless when he saw it. This box was too big. Not to mention fifty jade tablets, even five hundred yuan could be packed in it!
Huang Jian opened the box and found a box full of jade tablets, large and small. There were also some that couldn't be called jade tablets, but might be more appropriately called jade bricks. The biggest one was almost as big as Fang Xiong's head.
Zhang Sui looked at Huang Jian and said, "Second brother, are you taking too much?"
Huang Jian chuckled and said: "It's okay, the more the merrier. At the worst, Brother Zhang can make me a few more pieces. I have a lot of close relatives here, including grandparents, parents, eldest brother, a few little sisters..." Huang Jian started
He said it one by one with his fingers.
Zhang Sui quickly stretched out his hand and said: "Stop, stop, stop! Second brother, I understand, no need to say any more. If I need jade in the future, I can come directly to you, that's alright!"
Huang Jian was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Brother, be open and clear. That's what I mean. If you need anything, tell me directly. As long as there is anything, I will definitely find a way to get it for you!"
Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that I have several younger sisters. What a coincidence. They are about the same age as my brother, and they all look like flowers. I might as well find an opportunity to introduce them to my brother..."
Zhang Sui was no longer able to talk to him anymore and said directly: "Are your sisters going to resist being beaten?"
When Huang Jian, who was still talking nonstop, heard this, he thought he had heard wrongly, and asked in surprise: "What did I say?" Xi Rou looked at Zhang Sui in horror.
Zhang Suidao: "Let me ask you, do your sisters resist beatings? The woman I am looking for is not a weak woman, she is a strange woman who can fight with me on a par, or if she loses, she will beat me.
Either I beat her down and carry her home. Ordinary women are boring."
Huang Jian and Xi Rou looked at Zhang Sui like they were looking at a monster.
Huang Jian swallowed his saliva and said: "Brother, your hobby really makes things difficult for me. My sisters are not worthy of it.
No wonder you have a bad reputation outside, but they say you like to fight, but there is no news about men and women.
You are so fond of feelings in this area, brother, I understand, I feel ashamed and admire you!"
Zhang Sui's face darkened, you know what the heck! He was just looking for an excuse to refuse, but he didn't expect that given his former reputation, Huang Jian thought of him in a different way. Looking at Xi Rou with a horrified expression on the side, Zhang Sui
Some headache.
He waved to Xi Rou and said, "Go, prepare something to eat for me." Xi Rou nodded like a frightened rabbit and ran to the kitchen as if she was being pardoned.
Zhang Sui looked at Huang Jian with a strange look in his eyes and changed the subject: "Brother Huang will stay in the mansion for a while. Many friends from the spiritual world will come over today to discuss important matters. I will introduce them to you. In the future
Maybe I can help."
Huang Jian was very happy when he heard this, and said to Zhang Sui: "Thank you so much, brother Zhang! By the way, the antique shop has collected a lot of statues in the past two days. I have already ordered people to deliver them to you. Fang Xiong
Put it in the concierge over there."
Zhang Sui was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly stood up and said: "Then let's go and take a look. This thing will be safe in your pocket. Only when you get it in your hands will you feel comfortable." Huang Jian nodded in agreement.
The two went straight to the concierge, where a young man in his twenties was on duty. Zhang Sui was a little surprised when he saw it, and asked, "Who are you?"
The young man was a little nervous when he saw Zhang Sui, and he quickly saluted and said, "Little man Lu Bei, Grandpa Lu Shan asked me to come here today to run errands for the second master."
Zhang Sui asked: "Is Lu Shan your grandfather?"
Lu Bei nodded and said, "He is my grandfather, and he and my grandfather are brothers."
Zhang Sui suddenly understood. Huang Jian on the side joked: "Your name is Lu Bei, do you have a few brothers named Nannanxi?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Bei nodded directly and said: "This young master is right. I really have several brothers. Not only do they occupy other positions, they even occupy Chinese characters."
Zhang Sui heard this, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since we are relatives of Lao Lu, then we are our own people. There is no need to be restrained. If you have something to do in the future, just say it. I don't have so many rules here, just do it well."
Seeing Zhang Sui's very friendly attitude, Lu Bei felt relieved and said quickly: "Thank you, Second Master. Grandpa Yao already told me everything about the situation when I came here. Second Master, please let me know if you need anything in the future."
Zhang Sui nodded, and Huang Jian came to those statues. There were nearly twenty statues.
Zhang Sui felt a little hot in his heart and said to himself: "My power is up to you, my dears!"
These strange and even weird statues were very cute in Zhang Sui's eyes.
After walking and touching all the way, Zhang Sui took a deep breath and thought to himself: "It's done!"
Five statues were directly turned into powder. Huang Jian was used to this. Lu Bei was very surprised when he saw this, but he thought that his grandfather had reminded him that this second grandfather was an expert in spiritual practice.
Just swallow the surprise back in your stomach.
Zhang Sui nodded secretly when he saw that Lu Bei only had a look of shock in his eyes, but didn't show much expression or make a sound.
Zhang Sui smiled at Huang Jian and said, "Second brother has helped me a lot this time. These statues are so timely!"
Seeing that he was very interested, Huang Jian also smiled and said: "As long as it's useful, I'll have people take the rest back and dispose of them. I'll have people continue to collect them for you, and when I have a certain amount, I'll send them directly to your house.
To save you from having to make another trip."
Zhang Sui smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, second brother. Come on, let's go to the front hall to talk."
After the two of them had breakfast brought by Xi Rou in the front hall, they sat there drinking tea.
Zhang Sui listened to some of Huang Jian's experiences in traveling around the country in the past few years, especially some of the people and things he encountered in Tianjing City, and finally talked about the Tongtian Pavilion left behind by the previous dynasty.
Huang Jian sighed: "That place is really magical. The height and materials may not be reproduced even with the current Tiangong Pavilion's methods.
But when I think about it, it may have been built by practitioners, and many doubts are solved.
But now you can’t go up there. I heard that if you go up there, you will die. I really want to go up there and see the residence of the eternal emperor. It would be a good idea to get some glory!"
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "I have also read some records in the book. When I have the opportunity, I will definitely go and take a look."
The two of them chatted all over the place, and soon it was approaching noon. The invited guests seemed to have made an appointment, and they came to the door one after another at noon.
Zhang Tie and Fu Yun were the first to arrive. Of course, Zhang Xin, the troublemaker, was definitely indispensable.
The four muscular Taoist priests from Fu Yun's Qingluan Army also came over. They were very enthusiastic after seeing Zhang Sui and came forward to salute one after another. Zhang Sui responded with a smile.
There were also two middle-aged men in official uniforms. Although they were very polite when they were greeted, Zhang Sui could feel a sense of superiority from them, and their expressions were very reserved.
Fu Yun quickly introduced: "These two are the two adults of Tongtian Mansion. After I reported the situation here to the superior, the imperial court sent two adults to express the imperial court's attitude and take charge of the matter." After speaking, he looked at Zhang.
Sui's expression was vaguely helpless.
Zhang Sui was enlightened, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and said: "It turns out that I am an expert from Tongtian Pavilion, and I have long been aware of the name of Tongtian Pavilion. It is really brilliant to have these two adults come here this time!"
"
Seeing his respectful attitude, the two people felt very comfortable. One of them with a short beard said calmly: "My name is Duan Bin. Mr. Zhang's matter is taken very seriously in our house. Please let me come over and check the situation."
The man on the side was fair-faced and beardless, with a face as round as a big cake. He said with a smile: "My name is Gao Song. With such a good thing in your hands, why don't you just donate it to the court? With such achievements, the court can also use it. The court is at this moment."
If you want to establish diplomatic relations with foreigners, you can definitely get a lot of useful things in exchange for such good things, what do you think, Master?"
Fu Yun's face changed when he heard this, and Duan Bin, who came with Gao Song, snorted coldly and looked at Gao Song with contempt, but didn't say anything.
The word "Pigeon faction is a traitor" popped up in Zhang Sui's mind. When he saw Fu Yun looking at him with worry, probably because he was afraid that he would go crazy, the smile on Zhang Sui's face never stopped, even after hearing Gao Song's words.
He seemed to be angry, but nodded and said: "Master Gao is right."
Duan Bin looked a little disappointed, and the smile on Gao Song's round face became even brighter, and he was about to say something.
Zhang Sui continued: "It's just that this thing belongs to Junshan Academy. I summoned everyone here just to convey a message to Mr. Meng. For this kind of matter, please just ask Master Gao and Mr. Meng to communicate directly. I have no way to make the decision." Zhang Sui
Throw the pot directly to Mr. Meng.
Takamatsu's smile froze on his face, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he gave up and just snorted softly.
Zhang Sui apologized and asked them to sit down and drink tea in their hearts. After signaling to Zhang Xin and Zhang Xin, they walked out of the front hall and into the courtyard. Fu Yun followed them out.
Fu Yun wanted to say something, but Zhang Sui waved his hand to stop him. He knew what Fu Yun meant and smiled and said to her: "Sister Fu, don't be like this. I know this is not what you meant. There are some things in the court that I heard yesterday."
People have said something, but I didn't expect that it would involve me so quickly, haha." Zhang Sui laughed meaninglessly twice.
Fu Yun sighed: "Although there are some royal blood in my family, they don't want to get involved in this kind of struggle. That's why the family used experience as an excuse to let me leave Tianjing City with the Qingluan Army, but our
The attitude is indeed very clear." After saying that, he looked at Zhang Sui with murderous intent in his eyes.
Zhang Sui smiled and nodded. In fact, Fu Yun's attitude could be seen from the way she wiped out the aliens along the Wei River. There was no need to say anything to prove it.
Zhang Sui looked at Zhang Tian and Zhang Xin and said, "I asked you to come out mainly because of some problems with you."
In fact, Zhang Sui was slightly surprised when he saw Zhang Tian and Zhang Xin. The aura of pure spiritual power on the two people could be seen by a practitioner at a glance.
It was easy for Zhang Tian to understand. After all, he had the Taoist book "Huainanzi" as a practitioner, but Zhang Xin's agility made Zhang Sui frown slightly.
Zhang Sui asked: "Third sister, what happened to you?"
Zhang Xin said happily: "Second brother, I came here this time to tell you that Zhizhi and I signed a life contract, and he also taught me many techniques that can make me a god after practicing. Right, Zhizhi?"
As soon as Zhang Xin finished speaking, a small head poked out of a brocade bag at Zhang Xin's waist. Zhizhi was able to break away from the clam shell and become independent.
Zhizhi climbed out of the brocade bag and sat down on Zhang Xin's shoulder. He bowed to Zhang Sui and muttered a series of words.
Zhang Xin said: "Zhizhi said that after interacting with me, some memories in her bloodline revived. Many of them are the techniques of the Shark clan. These are some bloodline memories left by the mutual dependence between the Shark and the Mirage. They became my destiny.
After you become a partner, you can teach me how to do it."
Fu Yun said from the side: "There are many situations like this in the spiritual world. Qingping and I can also influence each other, and I can borrow some of her natal skills. Sister Xin'er may be in the same situation."
Zhang Sui always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. His original intention was to send Zhang Xin to Junshan Academy and let her learn the way of literary saints from Mr. Meng. He did not want her to have anything to do with the shark clan.
After all, although the Sharman clan has the character "human" attached to it, it is not a human race after all. Although his sister has their bloodline, she is in a completely human form after all, and after so many generations, it can be said that she is a human race.
Zhang Sui looked at Zhizhi with deep eyes and asked: "After Xin'er practices those shark skills, will her body show the characteristics of the shark clan?"
Zhizhi looked at Zhang Sui's eyes, shook his head repeatedly, and said a few words.
Zhang Xin said: "Second brother, don't worry. Those exercises will only make me proficient in water magic, and I can move freely in the water. There will be no problem! To be honest, I really want to go to the sea to see the scenery in my dreams.
Ah! You don’t know how beautiful it is there!” After saying that, he looked full of admiration.
Zhang Sui nodded and was about to speak again when another guest came to the door. Zhang Sui had no choice but to give up and let them do as they pleased and went to the front to greet the guests.
A lot of people came this time. Dong Zheng, the head of Kunzhou Palace, was accompanied by his son Dong Kuo, and the other two people were Gao Ren and Gao Shou.
Cheng Di and Taoist Yinglie also have an old Taoist who completely fits the image of the immortal Taoist in Zhang Sui's mind. He may be the leader of the Donghua Sect as mentioned by Cheng Di.
After greeting each other, Zhang Sui welcomed the group in and before they could sit down, a group of people from the Nanli sect and the Yiren clan came hand in hand. They were talking and laughing on the way. Zhang Sui apologized to everyone in the hall and hurried out to greet them.
.
After going back and forth like this for several times, it seemed that there wasn't much room in the already small front hall. Zhang Sui smiled bitterly, he really didn't expect so many people to come.
Zhang Sui had no choice but to ask everyone to move to the courtyard. Suddenly, there was a sound of horses neighing in the air. Everyone looked up and saw four translucent horses pulling a simple carriage through the air. Zhang Sui knew it was Meng Meng.
The gentleman said, but he was still secretly praising the appearance of this brand, and the advertising effect is great!
Everyone in the hall stood up in surprise when they saw this. They watched the carriage fall to the ground and turn into particles of light and disappear. Three people appeared at the carriage, it was Mr. Meng, Mr. Shu Qian, and there was another one who looked like he was still in his dream.
Mr. Zhou Su.
When Mr. Meng saw everyone in the hall, he smiled and cupped his hands.
Everyone in the hall bowed respectfully, regardless of whether they recognized him or not. After all, such an expert took the initiative to salute, and it would be unreasonable for him to neglect him.
Zhang Sui stepped forward with a smile and said: "Mr. Meng came at the right time. I was worried that my humble house could not accommodate all my friends, so I had to let them go to the courtyard to endure the cold winter!" As he said this, he winked at Mr. Meng.
.
Seeing his expression, Mr. Meng laughed a little. He said to everyone: "I have a quiet and spacious place. I wonder if you are willing to move there?"
Before anyone could answer, Zhang Sui quickly said: "Thank you sir, I wonder where that place is?" Everyone was also curious.
Mr. Meng smiled and said: "It's right here!"
After saying that, Mr. Meng looked at the sky and chanted: "The mirror is flying under the moon, and the clouds are forming sea towers!"
It was clearly broad daylight, but a bright moon suddenly appeared in the sky, spreading its clear light across the earth.
Countless white clouds gathered towards Kunzhou City, forming layers of clouds over Kunzhou City. The moonlight passed through the gaps in the clouds, emitting various strange brilliance. At the top of the clouds, there were faintly revealed cornices and carved railings.
The shadow of jade bricks.
The staircase composed of clouds spirals from the sky and slowly extends into the courtyard, with various lights flowing, as if inviting everyone to climb the ladder to the sky.
Zhang Sui was dumbfounded, "Mr. Meng, Uncle Meng! I just want you to do something like a gold house in the book. What you are doing now is really... really... too...
That’s awesome!!!
Zhang Sui could clearly hear the sounds of people around him swallowing. Gao Song, who wanted Zhang Sui to present something to the court, had an extremely expression on his face.
Several people who used to look like masters now have their defenses broken. They looked at the Stairway to the Sky, then looked at the Palace in the Clouds, and murmured: "Is this the Earthly Fairyland? This is completely the same as the Earthly Fairyland I know.
They are two different things!”
Mr. Meng looked at the palace in the sky, nodded with satisfaction, turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone, why don't you go to the palace in the sky and hear what Mr. Zhang Sui, the vice president of our academy, has planned?"
Zhang Sui gave two thumbs up in his heart, "Uncle Meng, you have given me enough support in this situation! I am sure of your thigh!!! No one can pull me away. I said, the gods are here."
