Hearing Zhang Qing's description, Zhang Yunyuan's pupils couldn't help but shrink into pimples, and he murmured:
"That's not the case..."
"It's certainly not the case." Zhang Qing looked into the distance, "The spiritual stones obtained from this auction should be enough for the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce to last more than ten years, so this will be a long process."
Zhang Yunyuan looked at Zhang Qing, "Have you thought of it a long time ago?"
Zhang Qing was not sure, "When I heard that the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce had suffered such a heavy loss, I knew that it was absolutely impossible for them to make a second trip. Only after seeing this invitation did I figure out what method the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce would choose. .”
"Originally, I was worried that another dispute would break out because our family is so close to the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce."
"Now it seems that the head of the family obviously thinks more than us."
"You people have too complicated minds."
"It's just that there aren't many fools in this world."
Zhang Qing looked outside, "Do you know how many things have happened in this city since we came? Even mortals are so complicated, let alone us monks whose thoughts are a hundred times greater than those of mortals."
Zhang Yunyuan was a little surprised, "Don't you care about the affairs of this city?"
Reaching out and patting Zhang Yunyuan's shoulder, Zhang Qing couldn't hold back his laughter, "Zuo Qiuzhuo and the others have been in the practice world for decades, not in vain. They can see that the relationship between the two of us is Whose decision is right?"
…
"Second uncle, Zuoqiu and the others have sent some more files."
"Leave it here." On Qingyue Lake, Zhang Qing looked at the paper record in his hand under the moonlight, while Qing Meng squatted aside curiously.
"Second uncle, is there anything in these mortal files?" Read the book
"There is a future."
Zhang Qing put down the book in his hand, "If you take a look, you will find that more people have been lost near Linyuan City. This change did not happen overnight, but evolved over decades."
"Is it a ghost?" Qing Meng didn't know anything and couldn't help asking at this moment.
"Well, they are hidden around mortals. Because of our appearance, they seem to disappear, but one day, they will break into the practice world from the mortal world."
"When they can face us."
"What a smart ghost."
"I have never taught you that anything is stupid, especially something that can refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation."
He gently stroked the little girl's head, "But don't worry, although the ghosts are changing quietly, we will also become stronger."
"They are no match for us."
Suddenly, Zhang Qing stopped teaching Qing Meng and raised his eyes to look into the distance.
Under the night, the clouds blocked the moonlight, and the only light in the whole world seemed to be the firelight in the middle of the lake.
In the darkness by the lake, several figures shuttled quickly, and the faint magic light on them seemed to be extinguished at any time like fireflies.
The lake water rippled slightly in the darkness, and tentacle-like streams of water stretched from the lakeside into the woods. In an instant, there were screams of surprise.
"Senior, spare your life! We have no ill intentions."
The fire suddenly illuminated the darkness, and the four monks who were imprisoned by the water looked at the lake in horror, begging desperately for mercy.
The current dragged the four people into the lake. Zhang Qing, who was wearing a mask, looked at these people who dared not move and said, "Why are you here?"
"Thank you, senior." An older-looking man floating in the lake said hurriedly: "We are being chased here, and the people who are chasing us are probably behind us now, and they will find us here soon."
"Why are they hunting you?"
The man gritted his teeth, feeling the coldness of the lake, and confessed.
"Senior, we are originally from the Li family in Qianjiang. We went to the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce to buy spiritual materials for cultivation. However, the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce brought back too many things. We are not qualified to enter the auction at all, even if they are commonly sold by the chamber of commerce. The things are enough for the Li family to practice for ten years."
"Junior was unaware of the transaction with the Chamber of Commerce. He thought it would be safer to leave early, but he was still targeted."
After saying that, the man held a storage bag in his hand and said, "If seniors can lend a helping hand, the Li family would be deeply grateful and would like to give all the spiritual objects as gifts."
"Uncle Clan! This is all our spiritual stones." Someone on the side exclaimed, but the man ignored him at all.
Did it start so soon? Zhang Qing was surprised at the actions of the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce. He thought he would wait until the auction was over.
"I'm not interested in your things. You can leave. Don't die in my lake. Private fights are not allowed here."
"Senior." The man said anxiously, but he didn't expect that the resources would not be sent out.
"Uncle Clan, let's leave quickly. Those people will catch up soon." Someone advised him. The man gritted his teeth and swam toward the shore.
However, before they could reach the shore, clusters of lights flickered in the darkness, making the four of them turn pale.
"No, we can't go ashore." The Li man's eyes narrowed, "We'll just soak in the water."
Looking back at Zhang Qing's position, the man felt much more at ease.
"You guys can really run." By the lake, a man with a sneer on his face was reflected in the firelight. He looked at the four people in the water and his eyes followed Zhang Qing.
"Fellow Taoist, this matter has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."
"Do it!"
The light of mana surged from the bodies of several monks behind them, and the sharp spells were blasted towards the dead people in the water.
The moment the spell touched the lake shore, curtains of water rose from the water, submerging the spell and sweeping towards the monks.
These Qi cultivators couldn't resist the power of foundation building. They were instantly sucked into the water. Their eyes became frightened. Looking at the four Li family members, they seemed to understand why they were soaking in the water.
"Senior, forgive me, I have no intention of disturbing you." The awe-inspiring attitude turned into fear of the foundation, and everyone looked at Zhang Qing in the water and begged for mercy.
"Fighting is not allowed here. I will only say it once. Do you understand?"
"understand."
"A little filial piety, please forgive me, senior." The man took out a storage bag, and then watched the storage bag slowly sink into the lake.
"Sorry to disturb you, senior, let's leave now."
A group of people slowly swam towards the lakeside. The lack of obstruction by the current made them feel relieved. As soon as they landed on the shore, they retreated into the distance.
Seeing this scene, the man from the Li family also left a storage bag and took the three people to swim towards the lake. After landing, they chose to leave in the opposite direction to the previous people.
"Thank you, senior, for saving your life. The Li family will keep this in mind."
