After returning from the Golden Wing Tower stronghold, Zhang Rongfang stayed at home peacefully, helping Wanyan Lu lose weight, going to work, practicing martial arts, and resting every day.
The rest of the time, it seemed that he had completely given up on his previous efforts to collect information about the statues.
He watched the whole process of the changes caused by the idol.
It feels more like some kind of transformation and intensification.
That kind of metallic thread should not be a product of this era.
This strange sense of contradiction caused many thoughts in his mind, and he began to think about what kind of existence the Great Spirit and the Esoteric Sect were.
December 5th.
The rain has stopped for a while and is no longer intermittent.
Li Huoyun set up a banquet at Baiyan Tower to celebrate his twentieth birthday.
This time it was a private banquet, so a few people were invited to attend.
Zhang Rongfang was invited to attend, and after having a few drinks with him, it was already past midnight when he returned home.
As soon as he opened the courtyard door, he saw a red bird standing quietly on a tree branch in the courtyard, staring at him with ruby-like eyes.
"Come." Zhang Rongfang stretched out his hand and let the bird fly to the back of his hand.
Remove the bamboo tubes from the bird's legs.
He quickly opened it to check.
After just one glance, his expression changed slightly.
He immediately entered the house quickly, changed his clothes, and put on a mask. He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't wear it.
In fact, there are also people who use the wish wheel in Mingjing Palace, and he is not the only one.
But he himself, except when assassinating, can use his wish wheel to attack. At other times, he is not suitable for fighting against masters.
Because he has not mastered the supporting martial arts of Wan Lun.
Therefore, it can only be used as a simple heavy weapon or a shield.
When to use it, it is usually when you miss one hit and it is difficult to use it again if you continue to fight. Otherwise, if the moves are not matched, your strength will be greatly weakened.
Wearing a dagger casually, Zhang Rongfang set off lightly.
Tanyang City Gate has a separate entrance and exit gate at night, which is specially used for caravans and escort agencies traveling at night.
The Great Spirit's military force is strong, and its army is unrivaled. Therefore, there is no need to worry about anyone coming to sneak attack.
Inside Pingya Temple outside the city.
Golden Wing Tower and other members of the main building were scattered and guarded on all sides.
Seeing Zhang Rongfang arriving, they all bowed their heads as a salute.
Qing Su, Zhao Tianming, and Chi Xia have all arrived.
The three of them stood in front of a tall figure wearing a red mask, bowing their heads to show respect.
The figure had thin pigtails, broad shoulders, and wore a complete set of hard leather half-armor. A thick copper-colored chain was wrapped around his right arm, which was obviously a Qimen weapon he had practiced.
There was a sound of footsteps.
Zhang Rongfang strode into the main hall and immediately looked at the red masked figure.
The opponent's size was actually much larger than his current size.
"Are you the envoy of Lord Hongling from Fucheng?" Zhang Rongfang asked in a deep voice.
"Exactly, you are the White Eagle of Tan Yang? Master Hong Ling ordered me to come to Tan Yang to investigate the esoteric scriptures and silks. This scroll should have just appeared in the world, and you may not know its appearance and characteristics, so you ordered me to come to Tanyang in person.
Come here and take charge of the identification and search mission.
In addition, I am also an Eagle level, you can call me Rusty Lock."
"Reflection." Thoughts flashed through Zhang Rongfang's mind and he immediately made up a nickname.
This nickname fits his current multiple identities quite well.
"You can call me reflection."
"Very good. Next, I will sit here and assist you in searching for scriptures.
In addition, I would like to remind you that Xue Jinghao, the Snake King of the Black Ten Sect, has arrived in Tan Yang, and it seems that he is here to investigate the assassination of several high-level officials here."
"Snake King Xue Jinghao?" Zhang Rongfang's eyes moved slightly, "How strong is this person?"
"What do you think? Among the masters of the Black Ten Sect who were killed before, there were even eighth-level masters. What level of masters do you think they will send down?
And it’s not just him, there are two accompanying practitioners, both of whom are at least seven or eight levels. Be careful yourself." Xisuo reminded.
"Ninth grade...?" Zhang Rongfang's heart sank. This is what these big forces are like.
When things get serious, there is a headquarters behind them and a large number of experts to support them.
"By the way, you are not very well-informed in places like Tan Yang. You probably don't know why the nine grades in this world were originally divided." Xisuo said again.
"Because of what?"
"Because...the ninth level is actually the limit of ordinary people, the highest speed and power they can explode."
Xisuo said calmly.
"Using the secret medicine, regardless of any damage, can stimulate a person's speed and strength, up to the ninth level."
"Or to put it another way. When the Lingting initially determined the ninth-grade system, firstly, it referred to the official position system. Secondly, it referred to this point. It positioned the explosive limit of ordinary people at the highest ninth-grade."
Zhang Rongfang's heart trembled, and he suddenly remembered the gambler who was inspired by the idol before.
That was how he was at that time...
So, is that the limit of ordinary people? Ninth grade... actually still has such secrets.
"But you have to know that there are not just ordinary people in this world." Xisuo suddenly mentioned.
"People may seem the same, but some people's bodies are completely different."
"Are you talking about genius, the part with extraordinary talents?" Zhang Rongfang said in a deep voice.
"Exactly. Snake King Xue Jinghao is this type of person. He has a keen intuition that ordinary people cannot match. He is not afraid of any assassination or sneak attack, and his reaction speed is far faster than ordinary people.
So, be sure not to provoke this person." Xisuo reminded.
The Golden Wing Tower mainly focuses on assassination intelligence, and the Black Ten Sect obviously has some intentions when it comes to this person.
"Is he... considered a ninth-grade person?" Zhang Rongfang asked again.
"Three years ago, this person was already in the ninth grade. Now with his level of genius, I'm afraid he is no longer within the grade limit." Xisuo said with emotion.
Grain keeper
"Not within the level limit?"
"This kind of people transcend grade assessment and are stronger than the average ninth grade, but they are not at the level of the masters of various sects. Some people in the world call them super grade, and you can define them like this."
After Xisuo finished speaking, he took out a blueprint, unfolded it, and handed it over.
"Okay, I want you to be careful when talking about this, be careful not to provoke this person. The Black Ten Cult has killed people, and they will definitely seek revenge and search for their enemies when they come here, so don't get into trouble.
In addition, this is the pattern of the esoteric scriptures and silks we are looking for. Take a look and search for similar ones based on this."
Zhang Rongfang took the drawing and looked at it carefully.
There was a piece of light yellow cloth covered with mysterious handwriting and symbols.
Its shape and style are exactly the same as the one he got before.
'really.....'
He felt certain in his heart, and his previous worries were now confirmed.
After confirming that the scroll of cloth was indeed a Tantric scripture, he felt much more relaxed.
With his thoughts changing rapidly, he spoke directly.
"Are you sure this is what it looks like?"
"Are you sure? What? Have you seen it before?" Xisuo heard something from his tone.
Without saying a word, Zhang Rongfang took out the roll of cloth from his body and handed it over.
"I happened to get this thing in an accident not long ago, but I didn't expect it to be so precious. It happens to be what I need in the building."
Xisuo paused and seemed a little stunned.
He looked at Zhang Rongfang's mask, and then at the scripture in his hand, as if he didn't expect that everything would come so easily.
"Where...did you get it?" He didn't believe it, worried that it was fake.
"In a grave pit, I accidentally bumped into a stone wall. The stone wall fell, and there was this thing behind my back. I picked it up." Zhang Rongfang said bluntly.
Xisuo took the sutra, his eyes flashed, and he quickly looked through it.
Soon, he was sure.
"It's true!" He was slightly excited. "This matter is important, I must contact the higher authorities immediately."
Then, he stared at Zhang Rongfang closely.
"I have to say, Reflection, you are in luck this time! This thing is very important to the main building. I will leave immediately, return to Fucheng, and send the things up layer by layer. After confirming, the main building will award you soon.
arrive.
Boy....you're in luck!!"
He carefully collected the sutras and put them close to his body.
"Without further delay, I rushed back to Fucheng overnight to conduct another appraisal to avoid danger due to long nights and many dreams!"
"Okay! Do you need me to send someone to protect you?" Zhang Rongfang also saw the other party's caution.
"No, one more person will slow down my speed. Farewell!" Xisuo immediately turned around and left the hall without saying a word.
Zhang Rongfang is not worried about the other party taking the credit. Not to mention that there is another unknown special supervision system in the Golden Wing Tower, which is to prevent superiors from taking the credit from their subordinates.
Taken together with this scripture and the evil statue, he felt that the water inside was too deep.
If you are not careful, you may end up in a bad way.
Therefore, after confirming that there was something wrong with the scriptures, he handed them over on the spot.
This thing is probably a hot potato right now.
He is not the kind of person who is ignorant of himself.
No matter how capable you are, you will eat as much as you want. If you don't overestimate your capabilities, the only result will be death.
"Now, everyone should evacuate individually. There should be no more gatherings in a short period of time."
Turning around, Zhang Rongfang ordered Zhao Tianming, Qing Su, and Chi Xia.
"yes!"
All three of them understood.
This is to prevent people from being hunted down and silenced.
No matter what, even if Xisuo was from Fucheng, no one could tell if he had any evil intentions.
So let’s avoid it first.
Immediately everyone dispersed.
Soon, there were only a few members of the main building guarding the Pingya Temple.
Come out of Pingya Temple.
Zhang Rongfang bowed and moved quickly under the night.
The woodland and field ridges outside the city are all a bit wet and soft. Because of too much rain, there is an unavoidable sound of wetness when you step on them.
Just when I was about to reach the city gate, I was in a field that had been harvested.
Suddenly, Zhang Rongfang's footsteps stopped, from moving to stillness, and then stopped quickly.
He raised his head and looked forward.
There, on his daily commute, there was a person standing.
A dark figure covered in a wide black robe.
Under the moonlight, the only thing he could tell was that the shadow was bigger and wider than him.
Of course, this cannot be ruled out as a disguise.
"Gold Wings Tower?" The black shadow's voice was low, as if it had been deliberately altered through some special technique.
"Who are you??" Zhang Rongfang's first reaction was that the intelligence was leaked. There was a traitor on his side who leaked his whereabouts.
"Zhang Ying, you guys have gone too far." The black shadow said. "It's not your turn to be so unscrupulous in Tan Yangcheng."
"Zhang Ying? What do you mean?" Zhang Rongfang pretended not to know. He couldn't get rid of Jin Chi Lou's identity. After all, the mask on his face was still on. It could be seen at a glance.
But Zhang Ying's identity must not be acknowledged.
"The mask is Tan Yang White Eagle. You should know that Tan Yang was able to form the current situation because of the balance between multiple parties. But now, your Golden Wing Tower has broken the balance and provoked the Black Ten Sect Snake King." The black shadow said in a deep voice.
road.
"Do you really think the Snake King is here simply for my Golden Wing Tower?" Zhang Rongfang asked back.
