Zhou Zheng and Instructor Xiaoyue had seen the rotunda in front of them before when they "actively turned on the video", but from another angle.
Seeing this place with his own eyes today still made Zhou Zheng feel very strange.
The overall design of the hall is in a modern style, with an array of lamps arranged on the ceiling more than ten meters high, gray stone tiles on the walls, and giant floor tiles of three meters by two meters on the ground. The decoration style highlights the grandeur.
In the middle of the hall is a busy circular service desk. Men and women in professional suits sit behind the service window, smiling, warm and thoughtful.
It feels like a bank lobby.
There is a warning posted on the glass of the service desk - [The use of magic is prohibited, violators will be fined fifty spiritual stones].
There are many individual seats placed in the areas radiating from the windows, and most of the seats are occupied by 'people' at the moment.
Are they all practitioners?
What surprised Zhou Zheng was that although most of the people here were normal humans, at a glance, he saw dozens of supernatural beings that looked like humans but not humans in the crowd.
There was an old man with a goatee and horns on his head, filling in the form in front of him with a frown.
There is a beautiful girl with a slender body carrying a pair of large colorful wings, her face is full of expectation, and she is holding a small suitcase in her hand.
Zhou Zheng looked around and found that he was in an inconspicuous corner.
——This hall obviously has more than just the entrance and exit behind him.
Several men and women wearing armor and robes passed by while chatting and joking. They glanced at Zhou Zheng, but they just looked away and looked away.
Not far away, there was a rich and handsome uncle, which caught Zhou Zheng's attention.
This man was wearing a dirty blue Taoist robe, with a bun on his head, holding a whisk in his hand, with a slight smile on his face, and kept saying something to an old man in a suit:
"... Leader, the number of these spirit stones is really not enough. Our Linhai sect has so many mouths, no, so many young talents! In the future, they will be the backbone of our twelve cities in the East China Sea! We cannot let their cultivation slow down!
"
Another old man in a suit with gray hair and full of energy sighed:
"It's useless even if Taoist Master Qingsong talks nonsense, the spiritual stones are distributed according to the quota per head, and he has already taken great care of you.
"Blue Star's cultivation path was cut off a thousand or two thousand years ago. Where are the natural mineral veins? Now they are all spiritual stones condensed in a large array, and that's all they produce every month!"
"You are very accommodating." The fat Taoist priest took out a gourd from his sleeve and came to the side of the white-haired old man. "You are very accommodating."
"What are you doing! You are asking me to make a mistake!"
"Just a little local wine, so what's the mistake?"
"Qingsong, don't always challenge my weakness, and stop playing with these tricks! Don't I know how to make wine myself?"
Zhou Zheng's head slowly tilted, and he watched the old man in a suit lift the gourd in a natural movement.
Ah this?
Are all practitioners so upright and corrupt?
Before Zhou Zheng had time to complain, there was a sound of breaking the air from the side.
A snow-white scabbard hovered steadily in front of Zhou Zheng, emitting a layer of blue light, completely covering Zhou Zheng's figure.
The fairy light fell, retracted, and turned into a stream of light with Zhou Zheng, quickly disappearing in the side corridor.
Only the people in the hall were left, and the spirits whispered:
"Isn't this the scabbard of the Ice Fairy? What kind of identity did that Taoist friend just now alert the Immortal Immortal?"
"How do I know...eh? Didn't I hear someone say that some important person from the Dragon Palace is staying in our Twelve Cities in the East China Sea? Is this this guy?"
"Who are you listening to? I haven't refuted the rumors in the group before. Everyone should listen to Futian Alliance's official news and stop talking nonsense!"
"It's a bit weird. You can't just make it out of thin air."
at the same time.
The scabbard went up and down, detoured left and right, and finally stopped in front of a vermilion wooden door. He put Zhou Zheng down, the scabbard moved forward on its own, and knocked on the door.
The wooden door in front of Zhou Zheng made a "click" sound and opened on its own.
Behind the door is a spacious and bright office, with bare walls and no decoration, and only a few pieces of furniture in the dozens of square meters of room.
The familiar little gray dog was sitting on the edge of the desk at the moment, wearing a blue shirt and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses in front of his eyes.
Seeing Zhou Zheng at this moment, it grinned like a dog and continued to maintain its old-fashioned 'dog' attitude.
"Xiao Zhou, come in quickly."
"Thank you, instructor."
Zhou Zheng showed a decent smile, looked across the room, and was immediately attracted by the beautiful woman sitting quietly on the sofa.
Is this also a god?
Rather, this fairy is more in line with Zhou Zheng's expectations of gods.
Wearing a light emerald flowing cloud-embellished flower skirt and a wide ice crystal green luan jade belt, her tall figure was overflowing with fairy spirit.
She tied up her waterfall-like long hair into temples, and covered her neckline and cuffs where the skin could be exposed with a placket. Although she had exquisite facial features, she refused to add any pink or pink, giving people a rare sense of elegance.
What is impressive is her fair and slender neck and straight collarbone;
But the most rare thing is the aura that transcends the ordinary world and is not stained by the fireworks of the world.
The fairy raised her right hand slightly, and the scabbard she brought with Zhou Zheng turned into a beam of ice-blue light and slipped back into her palm.
Then, the fairy looked into Zhou Zheng's eyes. Those eyes that looked like ice crystal gems turned into ice blue for a few seconds, but soon returned to normal.
A faint smile appeared on her lips, seemingly expressing goodwill to Zhou Zheng.
The wooden door of the office locks itself.
Xiaoyue cleared her throat: "We meet again, Your Highness Ao Ying."
Zhou Zheng's chest pocket glowed with golden light, and Ao Ying appeared.
With a full smile on her lips, she bowed slightly to Xiaoyue: "I have met Lord Xiaoyue."
"I can't do it, my lord, I can't do it. The dragon girl is too polite!"
Despite being so condescending, the smile on Xiaoyue's dog's mouth became even stronger.
"You two can sit wherever you like, don't be too restrained."
Xiaoyue jumped down from the desk, and the glasses on her face and the shirt on her body turned into a light red light and disappeared.
Are these all changed by magic?
Zhou Zheng was amazed.
In front of the desk were two double sofas placed opposite each other. The fairy sat on the left side, and Zhou Zheng took Ao Ying to sit on the right side.
Compared with Ao Ying's elegant and reserved sitting posture - she must only have a small buttocks when sitting, the hem of her long skirt must be gathered properly, her legs must be close together and placed diagonally, with her two delicate hands covering her knees.
Zhou Zheng’s big-crotch sitting posture perfectly expresses what a ‘modern big boy is unrestrained’.
Xiaoyue jumped to the fairy and took the initiative to introduce:
"This is Fairy Bing Ning, one of the thirty-six Immortals of Blue Star, and the main general in charge of the twelve cities in the East China Sea.
"She doesn't like to talk very much, so let's just talk about our affairs.
"Let me first introduce you to the main situation here...Zhou Zheng, did Miss Ao tell you about our Futian Alliance?"
Zhou Zheng shook his head honestly.
Ao Ying explained: "Lord Xiaoyue, my bloodline memory is incomplete, and my mother has sealed things in the heaven."
"Yeah?"
Xiaoyue nodded her head and said slowly:
"Your mother is probably afraid of having a negative impact on you, but Xiao Zhou is so smart, he should have already guessed why we are called Futian Alliance."
Zhou Zheng reminded me kindly: "Instructor, I was just an ordinary person a few days ago."
Xiaoyue smiled and said: "Reincarnation of an ordinary god?"
"As for this," Zhou Zheng said calmly, "I have no memory of my past life, and I don't know who I am, and I don't think it's important..."
He thought of the mirror and the middle-aged scribe who bowed to him in the mirror and then disappeared.
The other person's smile was full of relief.
"I am Zhou Zheng," Zhou Zheng's expression was full of seriousness, "No matter what happened in the past or who I was in my previous life, that is already a past. Now I am just Zhou Zheng."
There was a little strange color in the ice fairy's eyes.
Xiao Yue Gou's face was full of vicissitudes of life, and he sighed quietly:
“It’s good to have this mentality, it will be good for you in the future.
"According to the rules of heaven and earth, in terms of natural replacement, there should be no connection between the past life and this life, it is just the reincarnation of the true spirit.
"With the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, reincarnating the immortals who died in the Heavenly Court to rebuild themselves is also a decision made by our seniors of the Futian Alliance as a last resort. This actually interferes with the operation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but for the current situation, it is more beneficial than
Disadvantages.
"Three hundred years ago, a disaster occurred in the heaven. A certain being whose name has become taboo shattered the Lingxiao Palace and roared at the three realms of heaven, earth and man.
"He said that if the laws of heaven are abolished, the freedom of living beings will be restored.
“But what will follow is just endless disasters.
"The collapse of the heavenly order based on the rules of heaven has brought huge fluctuations in the order of the three realms. Demons are in chaos, and people's hearts are floating. The old demon suppressed by the heavens has escaped, and half of the world has fallen into disaster.
"Blue Star is just one of the many human worlds affected by the disaster. Arranging thirty-six immortals and 360 reincarnated immortals to come and protect it is already the limit of what our Futian Alliance can do.
"Do you know who is the biggest demon on Blue Star and the culprit of the previous catastrophe on Blue Star?"
Ao Ying shook her head gently.
Zhou Zheng asked cooperatively: "Who?"
"The Great Sage of Overturning the Sea, the Demon King of Dragons."
Ao Ying's expression changed: "The Great Sage Overturning the Sea is in Blue Star?"
"But don't worry, our Futian Alliance has also sent corresponding divine generals."
"The Dragon Demon King is currently recuperating in a trench. Waiting for him to wake up again will be the real trouble."
Xiaoyue stretched and continued:
"When I talk about this, I become nagging. To sum up, the Futian Alliance is a group of remaining immortals from Heaven who gather together to keep warm. We still adhere to the original creed of Heaven and protect the common people.
"Xiao Zhou, the reason why we are telling you this is because we treat you as one of our own."
"Well, thank you instructor for your trust."
Zhou Zheng searched hard and couldn't find a suitable adjective, so he could only say: "It's not easy to be a god."
Bing Ning turned her head and looked aside, her almost bloodless lips pursed slightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
Is that expression holding back a smile?
She is obviously making fun of people!
Ao Ying laughed out loud: "Gods are all carefree and happy."
"Xiao Zhou is right, it's actually quite difficult."
Xiao Yue lay on the sofa and let out a long sigh:
"Too many words bring tears of bitterness!
"When the heaven was at its peak, we could leisurely bask in the sun every day, but now we are running around and working hard."
"Instructor Xiaoyue," Zhou Zheng took the initiative to control the rhythm of the conversation, "I want to join Futian League and become a guardian. When will we start the interview."
Xiaoyue said: "Start now, okay, you passed."
"So simple?" Zhou Zheng was a little confused.
Just, there is no sense of ceremony.
Bing Ning's thin lips opened slightly, her tone was a little cold, and her voice was light and sweet.
"You are the reincarnation of an immortal, that's enough."
What's more, Uncle Fu said hello. This was something Xiao Yue would never dare to say, and she wouldn't even dare to say a word to Bing Ning.
Xiaoyue said: "However, without memory, there will be no insights from the previous life, and there will be no accumulation of great ways. You still need to practice from scratch."
"I understand this and I will work hard."
Zhou Zheng said seriously: "I think it doesn't matter what I was like in my previous life. This life is not about living for the past life. I have my own way of living and my own personality."
Bing Ning nodded slightly but did not continue speaking.
Xiaoyue asked: "I'll get a contract, you sign it and it's done!"
Ao Ying asked curiously: "Do I need to sign a contract to join the Futian Alliance?"
"Gods must also keep pace with the times."
Xiaoyue turned over and jumped behind the sofa. With her four paws hanging in the air, she hummed a tune and floated to the filing cabinet nearby. She picked up a folder and threw it in front of Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng opened it and looked at it carefully.
There are three main important matters - identity confidentiality, protection of mortals, and welfare benefits.
Xiaoyue waited until Zhou Zheng had almost finished reading before explaining:
"This contract is mainly to guarantee your life before you start eating rice, and you will be given a monthly subsidy, which is probably three or four times your current salary.
"Although you think it's okay to be a god in your previous life, to be honest, your previous life represents the upper limit of what you can achieve in this life. This is a guarantee that the resources we invest in you will most likely not be wasted.
"Of course, don't be blindly confident because of this. The reincarnated god may also fall into a bottleneck with his memory.
"Just like the guy you will meet next, he was a confused Buddhist in his previous life, but he is still stuck in this life! It's so outrageous!
"I'm going to arrange for you to practice together, and Bing Ning will be your instructor."
instructor?
Zhou Zheng showed a kind and respectful smile to the ice fairy.
According to the tradition of mythological stories, should you kowtow and worship your master?
Or bow with a serious expression? The kind that doesn’t hold the photo.
"Just sign if you have no objections," Xiao Yue urged from the side.
Zhou Zheng nodded, but couldn't find the pen holder.
Ao Ying poked Zhou Zheng's elbow and motioned Zhou Zheng to place his index finger on the blank space on the last page of the contract.
Zhou Zheng did as he was told, and the moment his fingers touched the contract, the contract ignited golden flames on its own.
The tongue of fire curled towards Zhou Zheng, and each word flew out on its own, like a chain or a restraint, wrapping around Zhou Zheng's wrist, and finally disappeared into nothingness.
Xiaoyue floated in front of Zhou Zheng and stretched out the dog's paw:
"Welcome to join the Futian Alliance."
Zhou Zheng raised his hand and shook Xiao Yue's hand. The moment he grabbed the dog's paw, a big stone seemed to fall from the bottom of his heart, and a smile naturally appeared on his lips.
"Senior, please take good care of me in the future."
"Easy to say, easy to say, Xiao Zhou, when do you want to start practicing?"
Zhou Zheng said: "As soon as possible, anytime will do."
The divine dog Xiaoyue opened her mouth and began to babble:
"Ice Fairy will communicate with you directly about cultivation later. I am actually in charge of logistics and scheduling. You guys need to add a friend first...
"By the way, I will drag you into the group of overhaul officers in the twelve cities of the East China Sea.
"You try not to speak at first, lest they ask you where you come from. There are leaders and deputy leaders of the Thirty-Nine Cultivation Sects of the East China Sea. Although they have not yet become immortals after a short period of practice, their future development should be quite good.
Yes, you can hang out with them.
"The Ice Fairy will gather a small group later...Hey, I won't hide it from you.
"Actually, we just got an order from above, asking Bing Ning to open a special training class for a few local Blue Star monks, just in time for you to join.
"There are two more special guys in this class. I told you just now about one who was reincarnated with memories and still stuck in practice.
"The other one is even more special. He is not the reincarnation of a god, but he has unique circumstances, but his personality is not so gregarious. Of course, you don't need to worry about them..."
Zhou Zheng tried his best to digest this information and could barely keep up with his thinking.
He quickly summarized one of the major personality traits of this divine dog instructor - he talks a lot and is secretive.
Zhou Zheng couldn't find a chance to interrupt and answer!
