Feng Yangzi and others were naturally satisfied with Zhang Qing's agreement, so the Taoist priest Mingyue and Mr. Bei Bing all looked kindly on Zhang Qing.
For a time, the four of them became very familiar with each other. Zhang Qing did not hide the fact that it was his first time and asked the three of them many common sense questions.
After testing a few times, Zhang Qing was sure that Feng Yangzi was indeed not playing any tricks.
In fact, he has a deeper guess, that is, behind Feng Yangzi, there may be a background of the Zhao family.
Ordinary people may not know this, but family disciples like Zhang Qing naturally know that Jiang State, the only mortal country in Yunmengze, is under the control of the Zhao family. Feng Yangzi has such a mansion in an important city like Anning City. , he would not believe it without the Zhao family's tacit approval behind the scenes.
"Yunmengze has seven golden lotus cultivators from the Jinlan Sect, followed by two from the Zhao family. The former has no second influence in the world of cultivation, and the latter has the same influence in the secular world."
With the background of cultivating golden lotus, it can be said that the Zhao family and the Jinlan Sect have completely allocated the Xianfan land in Yunmengze. It is not the turn of other people to have any say. Even the three Zhang Gushui families cannot be too involved.
With this thought in his heart, Zhang Qing became more interested in Feng Yangzi.
"Senior just said that Lieyangfang City has reopened. Is it possible that this city will be closed regularly?"
Feng Yangzi stroked his beard and shook his head with a smile, "Of course Fangshi will not be closed easily. After all, so many spiritual stones are brought in every day. Lieyangfang City is closed because of the Zhang family."
"Zhang family?" Zhang Qing was surprised, why did this involve his family?
"Well..." Feng Yangzi's face was a little solemn. It was obvious that the Zhang family's importance was not low for him, "Not long ago, there were rumors about the Zhang family clearing out the wilds, which caused everyone around Lieyangfang City to feel in danger and run away. They ran and hid, and the city almost became deserted within a day."
"Under such circumstances, the market will naturally not be able to continue to operate, and the ten foundation-building seniors who manage Lieyang City are also worried that the Zhang family will take action against them, so they simply closed the market and waited for the news to pass."
After Feng Yangzi finished speaking, Taoist priest Mingyue on the side couldn't help but sigh, "These big families are so domineering in doing things, and they don't leave any breathing space for us casual cultivators."
Just a rumor has caused many casual cultivators to dare not show their faces. This is the first time Zhang Qing knows that the Zhang family is actually so intimidating?
"It's not just one or two days, what's so strange about it?" Mr. Bei Bing said with the same helplessness but as if he was resigned to his fate.
"You are different." Taoist Master Mingyue shook his head, "At least you still have some mortal clans to help Dali's hundred acres of spiritual land. It can be said that you are completely different from casual cultivators like me. The Zhang family will not deal with it casually. you."
"Those who have no foundation will find it difficult to move forward in this world of cultivation."
Mr. Bei Bing couldn't refute, after all, he had experienced that kind of life before.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit serious, Feng Yangzi couldn't help laughing and looked at Taoist Master Mingyue, "Aren't you also planning to get a foundation recently? In your Taoist temple, those disciples are much easier to use than those of his clan. If If you succeed this time, you will no longer be a pure cultivator, so there is nothing to complain about."
On the side, Zhang Qing listened for a long time and gradually understood the situation of these casual cultivators. It can be said that it is... a bit miserable.
But isn’t that why casual cultivators are casual cultivators?
At the same time, Zhang Qing also saw something. The relationship between Taoist Mingyue, Mr. Bei Bing and Feng Yangzi was far from close. To put it bluntly, they might just be familiar with each other.
The four of them chatted intermittently. Zhang Qing asked some questions about Lieyangfang City from time to time. When the moon was high, he said goodbye.
Back at the inn, Zhang Qing stood in front of the window and looked calmly at the dimming of Anning City. Today's harvest was not small, but the vigilance of Feng Yangzi and others towards him still made him think a lot.
It is normal for rogue cultivators and rogue cultivators to be wary of each other.
The next day, Zhang Qing chose a time to go to Chuchen Mansion again, but this time, there were two more people.
"Is it because you saw me getting out of here smoothly that you relaxed your vigilance?" Zhang Qing guessed, and then joined the crowd's chat.
At the end of the day, Zhang Qing was a little bit dumbfounded, because Feng Yangzi and the other three seemed to be considered wealthy among the casual cultivators.
At least the two newcomers don't even have names, and they don't have many mortals behind them like the three of them. As for the foundation, there is no shadow at all.
Zhang Qing even doubted whether they could collect a hundred spiritual stones from pure casual cultivators.
On the third day, Zhang Qing knew that Feng Yangzi and the other three were the exceptions among the exceptions, and the other casual cultivators were the most numerous and real casual cultivators in Yun Mengze.
Most of them embarked on the path of cultivation because they accidentally received some immortal fate. Not to mention how long the Qi induction stage took, it can be said that the practice in the Qi refining stage was difficult. Every breakthrough to a level required a lot of effort. This effort is not only about time, but also about operating various resources.
And the most important thing is that life is always in danger. The cruelty of the spiritual world is paved by countless corpses.
If you don't pay attention, your own immortality will become someone else's.
On the fourth day, Zhang Qing and Feng Yangzi headed to Lieyangfang City hidden in a certain mountain forest as promised. However, when they left Anning City, there was a middle-aged woman and a baby in the team. .
"This is fellow Taoist Meng Xuan." After speaking, Feng Yangzi introduced Zhang Qing to Meng Xuan.
Zhang Qing glanced at the woman. If Feng Yangzi hadn't spoken, he wouldn't have been sure she was a monk. Whether it was her temperament or her clothes, she looked more like a mortal.
Facing Zhang Qing's gaze, Meng Xuan just nodded calmly, with no intention of further communication. As for the baby in her arms, she was already asleep and did not appear to be noisy at all.
"Fellow Daoist Meng, are you planning to visit another foundation-building senior in Lieyangfang City?" Mr. Bei Bing's real name was Tong He. He seemed to be looking at the woman with nostalgia, but for some reason they were not familiar with each other at all. a feeling of.
"Well, Yi'er likes to sleep more and more recently, and I'm afraid something will happen if I continue like this." Meng Xuan's eyes showed pain. When he looked at the baby in his arms, his eyes softened subconsciously, and his plump figure swayed. Zhang Qing subconsciously stayed away from Tong He, whose body temperature was gradually rising.
As a member of the Zhang family, his perception of human body temperature is unmistakable.
"Fellow Daoist Meng is also a poor man. When he was young, he was betrothed to his husband's family by his family. At the age of eighteen, he unexpectedly received the fate of immortality and entered the world of spiritual practice. However, his life was full of troubles. His original bright future was cut short because of that child. "
"That child hasn't grown up in three years."
Taoist Master Mingyue sighed, letting Zhang Qing's eyes fall on the baby in Meng Xuan's arms.
