Zhang Cong and Lu Wuying followed him silently, helping to carry the bags and pay. Because in the mortal city-state, Zhang Cong and others did not put anything into their storage bags, so their hands were soon full.
Perhaps wanting to be exposed to the worldly atmosphere, Zhang Cong and the others decided to stay in an inn and rest for one night before heading south out of the city tomorrow. Suddenly, there was a four-story building in front of them that caught Zhang Cong's attention, because there was a dark figure upstairs. The brand name of the paint turned out to be "Yuegui Pavilion".
Yuegui Pavilion is the storefront of Qianmen in Beidi. Zhang Cong didn't know if the same was true for Yuegui Pavilion in Niangziguan. However, in the Central Plains, Zhang Cong really didn't have any contact with other forces besides Qianmen, so the three of them made a duel. Looking at him, he opened the door and walked in.
Zhang Cong and Qin Yu didn't speak. Lu Wuying put the things on the ground. Seeing that there were no other guests in the room, he suddenly took out a golden sign. Under a cluster of golden osmanthus, there were eleven inscribed Qian hexagrams, and there were actually yin and yang fish on them. There is a word for heaven.
As soon as the sign was placed on the counter, the clerk looking after the counter immediately said with a smile: "Sir, please wait a moment, our shopkeeper will be here soon." Almost at the same time as the clerk spoke, the curtain behind the counter opened, and a middle-aged man came out. When he saw the sign, he immediately picked it up and shouted: "Boss Li, you are a rare visitor. Please come upstairs and invite me."
After saying this, he respectfully led Zhang Cong and the others upstairs, directly to a secret room. As soon as they entered the room, the middle-aged shopkeeper clasped his hands in his fists, bowed deeply and said, "Sun Quan, the helmsman of Niangziguan Branch, pays homage to Zongtang Tian." The word is elder, the universe is mighty, and the way of heaven is everlasting."
Zhang Cong quickly helped him up and said: "You're welcome, we are not the elders of Qianmen, but monks from the Northland Alliance. We saw the entrance of Qianmen and happened to come over to inquire about the news."
Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a face full of joy: "Are you three distinguished guests from Liuzhou?"
Zhang Cong laughed: "I am Zhang Cong, a monk from Linzhou. We wanted to go to the Central Plains and go to the Western Regions, which would cause trouble to your office."
Sun Quan was extremely happy and saluted repeatedly: "It turns out that Zhang Shangxian has really arrived, and you are now the honorary elder of our Qianmen Sect. This is not a lie. All the Qianmen Sect's halls in Donglong Continent have already arrived. I received a secret order and Zhang Shangxian of the Northland Alliance arrived, just like the head of the main hall came in person, I am able to receive you, this is my blessing."
Zhang Cong looked at Qin Yu and Lu Wuying with a puzzled look on his face. Although Qianmen and he were friends, they weren't so good to each other. What did Zong Song say to the main hall? What made Qianmen pay so much attention to him? ?
When he first accepted the sign from Zong Song, it was just an ordinary token of the Qianmen. He never expected that there would be such a large scale behind it. In this way, the favor he owed to the Qianmen would be even greater.
After Zhang Cong took the sign and put it away, he sat down with a smile and asked Sun Xing to introduce the general situation of the Central Plains. Unexpectedly, it was only after hearing Sun Xing's explanation that he realized that the world of the Central Plains was actually more chaotic than the Northland.
As the capital of the Donglong Empire, the Central Plains is the political, economic and cultural center of the entire empire. There are 22 Guangzhou Prefectures, an area as large as the Northland. Similarly, as an important battlefield for the war between immortals and gods, it not only has many ruins and secrets , and there are many sects and Taoist temples have been established for a long time, so both the humanities, economy and cultivation environment are much more advanced than those in the North.
It is said that among the strongest monks in the Central Plains, there is already a true Immortal of Hedao. However, it is more common that the person who is truly in charge of the world is the Huixu boss. Hedao is just a legend.
The Taihao Dharma Assembly organized by the four major monasteries in the Central Plains is held once every ten years. This year happens to be the tenth year. Therefore, in a month, all the major sects and monasteries in the Donglong Empire will come to participate in the Dharma Assembly. Luoxia Dao in the Northland
It is estimated that the hospital can also come to watch the ceremony. It is said that the invitations will be sent to Yanzhou in the next few days.
Perhaps because of the limited number of places, there have been frequent private fights among the major sects and monasteries competing for the qualifying places. Now the entire Central Plains world is in turmoil, especially among the smaller sects and families. Many of them have united to protect a few young seeds.
.
And according to reliable information, it is said that the Kunshan Sect in the Western Region will also send disciples to participate in the competition. At that time, they may get some beneficial clues about Zhang Xiaohua. Moreover, if Zhang Xiaohua is really a cultivation wizard, he may be selected as a seed to participate in the competition.
It's better to go to the Western Regions to look for people.
Zhang Cong listened to Sun Xing's introduction to the situation in Zhongyuan and knew that he had done enough homework for his own affairs. He felt a little moved and took out a few pills and handed them to Sun Xing: "I see that you have reached the golden elixir consummation. This
After taking a few elixirs, you should be able to transform into a Nascent Soul.
The Taihao Dharma Assembly you mentioned should have age and cultivation restrictions, right? I don’t know the specific details?"
sun
, but the general seeds are young people around thirty years old. If you are too old, even if you qualify, the possibility of being selected to enter the Taihao Secret Realm is very small."
Zhang Cong asked doubtfully: "Is the purpose of organizing this Dharma gathering to enter the Taihao secret realm? Where is the secret realm?"
Sun Xing said: "The Taihao Secret Realm is one of the most mysterious miracles in the Central Plains. It only appears once every ten years. Although it is within the scope of Taihao Mountain, the miracles will only be revealed in the first hour after the secret realm is opened.
, and the place is different every time.
Taihao Taoist Temple is located in Taihao Mountain, so the initiator of this dharma conference is Taihao Taoist Temple, which unites the three major monasteries and the four famous mountains, the Five Immortals Sect, the Tao Alliance and other super sects to organize the dharma conference.
Kunpeng Mountain is one of the four famous mountains, and Qianmen suspects that your fiancée, Zhang Xiaohua, is the North Sect of Kunshan who was brought back by the master who came down from Kunpeng Mountain to look for seeds, and is probably preparing for this Dharma conference."
Zhang Cong asked in confusion: "Why don't the princes in the North know about these things? A place as big as the North doesn't even have the qualifications to compete?"
Sun Xing said awkwardly: "Forgive me, Beidi used to send people from the Xuanjian Sect to watch the ceremony. When it comes to participating, Beidi really doesn't have the qualifications, just because Beidi is the place with the worst cultivation in the entire Donglong Empire.
It's normal to say that you don't know about this matter. The former Yishui Royal Court didn't have the energy to pay attention to this at all, and the Xuanjian Sect was even wiped out by you."
Zhang Cong nodded. He still attached great importance to what Sun Xing said. At this moment, Xiaocai's voice suddenly sounded in Zhang Cong's mind: "You must attend this ceremony, even if Zhang Xiaohua doesn't
By participating in the competition, you can also get in touch with people from the North Sect of Kunshan, and you must enter the Taihao Miracle, which should be a secret realm in space, and you and the girl will have great fortunes."
Zhang Cong thought for a moment, looked at Sun Xing and said: "You sent a message to the Qianmen General Hall and said that I will take the Northland monks to participate in the Dharma Assembly, and I will also participate in the seed qualifiers to try to win the qualifications for the Northland.
, if it’s difficult, I will participate on behalf of Qianmen.”
Sun Xing was stunned for a moment, but immediately stood up and called a steward to send the message.
Then Zhang Cong asked Sun Xing to send a message to Linzhou Mana, and asked Qin Lan to immediately take all the god-forming monks, select dozens of young monks below Nascent Soul, and rush to Pingzhou King City as soon as possible to join them.
What Zhang Cong didn't expect was that Yu Hengshu, the head of the Qianmen Gate, rushed directly to Niangziguan with two Supreme Elders that night.
Yu Hengshu looks like a scholar. He is about fifty years old, but he is already a big boss in the late stage of returning to the void. The two supreme masters, Elder Xu and Elder Ding, are both over a hundred years old and are also in the late stage of returning to the void. Zhang Cong not only nodded secretly, but these three people alone were enough for Qianmen to become a business tycoon monopolizing the Donglong Empire.
When Master Jade saw Zhang Cong, he was not only very enthusiastic, but even respectful. This made Zhang Cong extremely puzzled. He was just a golden elixir monk, but he made a Void Return master so nervous. What was going on at this time?
Yu Hengshu saw Zhang Cong's doubts and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, you don't know something. When it comes to cultivation, I, Yu, may not be as good as you and Miss Qin, but when it comes to judging people's abilities, I, Yu, am If this Donglong Empire is to be ranked second, no one would dare to say it is first.
You and Miss Qin are definitely not in the pool. From a business point of view, if I make friends with you now, I will make a profit. In time, Yu will probably have very few chances to see you."
Zhang Cong looked embarrassed: "Master Jade, are you looking up to me too much? I am just a farmer from the countryside. I was lucky enough to enter cultivation. Although I have achieved some success, compared to the geniuses all over the world, I am nothing at all. You Why do you think so of me?"
Yu Hengshu chuckled: "Tianjiao? Do you mean the direct disciples of famous mountains and sects? They are not even worthy of carrying my Yu Mou's shoes. Brother, don't be too humble. I understand your cultivation level. Well, as for outsiders, let them do whatever they want.
I have taken on what I said, but there are only a hundred people on the list of candidates for the Taihao Secret Realm, including 40 Golden Elixir, 30 Foundation Establishment, and 30 Nascent Soul. Even one more person cannot enter the Secret Realm, so The number of places for this competition is only a thousand people.
I can get at most ten places for each level. As for participating in the name of Qianmen or Northland Alliance, we will study it carefully and use whichever one is suitable. What do you think?"
Zhang Cong quickly saluted Yu Hengshu and said with a smile: "I wonder how many people your Qianmen are going to send to compete. Do you have any idea?"
Yu Hengshu said a little embarrassedly: "Our Qianmen sect does not have suitable monks to participate in the competition. Our monks are basically Nascent Soul or above, and they are all older. I have an idea, but I am afraid that I will not promise."
Zhang Cong looked at Yu Hengshu strangely and asked, "Why did Lord Yu say this? Is there anything here that Lord Yu likes?"
Yu Hengshu chuckled: "To tell you the truth, I, Yu, am nearly half a century old and have a son and a daughter at my knees. My spiritual roots are acceptable. My son Yu Linglong is seventeen years old this year and has both wood and fire spiritual roots. My daughter Yu Chao I am fifteen years old this year and have the spiritual roots of water and wood.
