"Okay, it's time to get down to business."
Qin Shoumo stood up, took out a wet wipe from his pocket, wiped his hands that were wet with dew from the rose bouquet, and then took out another paper towel to dry them, satisfied.
"The elders in the clan who guard Nanhai Guixu sent news yesterday that traces of people from the underworld seemed to have been found near Nanhai."
"Don't they also have the right to move freely over the years?" Zhang Ziqing didn't care.
"That's what I said, but it's not like you don't know about a sensitive place like Guixu in the South China Sea." Qin Shoumo rarely became serious, "The elders suspected that they couldn't help but start to make moves, and they were acting with purpose there. .”
"Have you gone to the South China Sea?"
"Not yet."
"Then let's wait until they get off." Zhang Ziqing said softly: "I met Jiang Chuan a few days ago. He has become much calmer over the years. He is no longer the irritable young man he used to be. .”
"No, he is over six thousand years old after all." Qin Shoumo's mind also flashed back to the little boy who was hiding in the corner of the crowd, his face covered with war fireworks.
Although he was the younger brother of the demon god Chi You, in the environment of the Chi You tribe where the strong were respected, Jiang Chuan, who had no power or strength at that time, was treated similarly to other ordinary children, and did not receive any special treatment in the tribe. preferential treatment.
"Speaking of this, I have wanted to ask before. Was Jiang Chuan chosen because the old men of the Chi You tribe did not take him, Chi You's younger brother, seriously? So I thought he would hate those elders. , and then if you designate him as Hades, she will be grateful to you?"
"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Ziqing rolled his eyes, "It's because I saw something different in Jiang Chuan's eyes.
I saw his ambition. "
"Ambition?"
"Although Jiang Chuan was hiding in that small corner, he was the only one among the children who dared to look at me.
Although he was a prisoner of the defeated army, his expression did not show that he was a loser at all. It was as if he was looking at me as an equal, so I was curious at the time.
I called him over and asked him, I said, 'Your tribe is worried that I might kill you, why don't you seem to be afraid? '
He told me 'You're not going to kill us. '
I asked him why.
He said, 'Because you are not a ruler, and you don't like war in your heart. Although you have killed many people, you actually hate killing.
Now that the war is over, you don't want to kill people anymore, so we won't die. '
He must have been about two hundred years old at the time. I was quite surprised that he could say these things, because what he said was actually correct.
I asked him if he wanted to be the king of the underworld.
Not only did he agree, he also told me that among the remaining people, he was the only one who could be the king of the underworld. If it were anyone else, he would definitely rebel within a thousand years.
The fact is just as he said. Although I appointed him as the new king of the Chiyou tribe to manage the underworld, after arriving in the underworld, the old people in the tribe with their own power were not convinced by him. Soon the elders They joined forces to neutralize him and began to plan how to rebel. "
"So you started that big purge of a person in the underworld at that time?"
"Well, even if I give them a thousand years to cultivate and recuperate, without Chi You, the remaining people are just a mob to me.
I killed all the tribal elders who planned the rebellion, leaving only those who were willing to support Jiang Chuan. It was only after that time that the underworld became truly obedient. "
Qin Shoumo clicked his tongue and said, "If I were Jiang Chuan, I would treat you as my biological father, let alone my brother."
Zhang Ziqing rolled his eyes and ignored him.
"However." Qin Shoumo changed the subject, "To be honest, no matter how much favor you have given Jiang Chuan, he still has the blood of the Chi You clan in his body. He looks gentle on the surface, but he is still warlike in his heart. Can you be sure that he will not Will he be the one who rebels?”
Zhang Ziqing was silent for a while and said softly: "If this is the case, I don't mind cleaning the underworld again. This time the Chi You clan will not be left behind. Let our people manage the underworld in the future."
Qin Shoumo nodded, "Since you have your own plan, that's fine. I just want to talk to you. I'm afraid that you have lived too comfortably in the world for so many years and have forgotten these potential dangers.
But speaking of which, why don’t you carve a monument for Miss Li? This has left no name or surname. Who knows which big shot is buried here. "
"This was her own request. She thought it was best not to carve a monument. After all, not many people knew her in this world, and there was no need to make it known to everyone after her death."
"Then you choose such a good plot for her tomb. Good guy, just choose a good plot. You have bought the eight surrounding plots. We are looking for someone to stand guard for her."
"I lived in such a small and shabby house when I was alive. It's unreasonable to live in that kind of house after I die." Zhang Ziqing whispered: "This can be regarded as the last thing I did for her. "
Qin Shoumo sighed, and then remembered something, "But I'm quite curious, how did you get those people who originally lived here to move voluntarily?"
Zhang Ziqing was silent for a longer time this time, and seemed to be in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking.
When he came to his senses again, Qin Shoumo had disappeared from where he was.
Zhang Ziqing looked at Li Zhihan's tomb again. White roses were spread out on the white marble slab, as pure as her own.
Even if something like that happened at the end of her life, she was still clean in Zhang Ziqing's heart.
On the other hand, I didn't try to prevent this tragedy from happening at that time, so I really didn't know what I was thinking.
Zhang Ziqing snapped his fingers, and a faint white light appeared on the rose bouquet.
I don’t know if I will come here to visit her next year, but even if I do, it will be a year later, so let’s keep these roses bright and always decorate her beauty.
After doing all this, Zhang Ziqing turned around and walked out.
The cemetery is very large, and he could actually go back to Su Zhai in one step, but for some reason, he wanted to take a longer walk today.
Li Zhihan's tomb is located at the highest point on the mountain. Generally speaking, when going to the top of the mountain, Yang Jian and his salesmen take their customers up the mountain on the company bus. If they had to climb up step by step, it would take three or four hours anyway.
But this doesn't matter to Zhang Ziqing. What he lacks most is time and energy.
Just after walking out of the nine cemeteries of Li Zhihan, Zhang Ziqing saw an old man with gray hair standing in front of a tombstone at a position slightly lower than the top of the mountain, looking at the tombstone with a solemn expression.
It was the old secretary named Li.
After Zhang Ziqing hesitated briefly, he walked towards the old secretary's position. Just as the two guards behind Secretary Li wanted to stop Zhang Ziqing, the old secretary waved his hand to signal them to leave.
"Mr. Zhang, long time no see." After looking Zhang Ziqing up and down, the old secretary sighed, "I still remember that you looked like this when we last met, but I was only 30 years old at the time. Worth the prime of life.
Now forty years have passed, and I am already very old. It is difficult for me to even go up to the second floor, but you are still so young. "
"You can still see what it was like forty years ago." Zhang Ziqing looked at the old man in front of him.
When the two met forty years ago, the young man named Li Yucai had just been admitted to the civil service and had not been working for long.
At that time, Li Yucai was working as a clerk in a somewhat idle department in the capital. This was the only way for civil servants who had just started working. After all, Li Yucai was just a student who passed the exam in the mountains of rural areas in Jiangbei. He had no family background and his parents were both in the countryside. A farmer who grows watermelons in his hometown and sells them in the market. So being able to stay in the capital and have a stable income after passing the public examination seemed to Li Yucai that his life had come to an end.
But it was at this time that Li Yucai met someone who changed his life.
At that time, Li Yucai, under the arrangement of his unit leader, went to a coffee shop in Wangfujing, Beijing, to deliver a document.
Li Yucai was a little confused. Who could open a coffee shop in a place like Wangfujing? Who could have such money and be related to his boss?
However, Li Yucai didn't think too much about it. When working in the capital, there are some things that you shouldn't know. It's best not to know, so as not to get into trouble.
After carefully collecting the documents, Li Yucai got on the subway to Wangfujing.
The location of the coffee shop is easy to find. It is in the middle and most conspicuous position of Wangfujing Street. The coffee shop has three floors. In terms of scale, this coffee shop can be regarded as one of the best in the entire capital. .
But after opening the door of the coffee shop and entering, Li Yucai found that there was not a single customer in the entire coffee shop.
Wangfujing can be said to be the most visited pedestrian street in the entire capital. Whether it is a working day or a holiday, tens of thousands of people from all over the country go shopping in Wangfujing.
But in such a pedestrian street with tens of thousands of people, not a single customer came to patronize this coffee shop.
Is it because his coffee is notoriously bad? So no one wants to come?
Thinking of this, Li Yucai had a clearer understanding of the boss named Zhang.
To open such a three-story coffee shop in the center of Wangfujing, the annual rent alone will cost tens of millions, plus some miscellaneous water, electricity and property fees, etc...
Even if you make 40 to 50 million yuan a year, you are still losing money. What's more, in this empty situation, you are losing money every day. How rich is this boss Zhang that he can be so indifferent.
With such doubts in mind, Li Yucai gently opened the door of the coffee shop. As he thought, there was no one behind the bar.
Li Yucai looked at the bar for a while, looking for the boss's contact information, but after looking for a long time, he didn't find a phone number.
Maybe the boss saw that there was no one in the store and seemed to be used to this situation, so he didn't bother to come down.
Li Yucai hesitated downstairs for a while, then carefully followed the wooden stairs to the second floor.
Now that he has come in and there is no response from the boss, he still has to find out where the boss is. After all, the task assigned by the leader is to personally deliver this document to the boss named Zhang Ziqing.
The layout of the second floor is different from the first floor. The first floor is like a place for guests to drink coffee and chat. It is filled with simple coffee tables and a few chairs randomly placed.
The second floor is like a reception room, used by the shop owner to entertain guests.
There was only a large tea table with an expensive-looking tea set on it.
As for tea sets, Li Yucai had seen many bosses have such a set on their desks.
But for the tea sets I had seen before, I had only heard how expensive they were, or how exquisite they looked, but never like today, where you could tell at a glance how valuable this tea set was.
Although he is increasingly shocked by his boss's financial resources, no matter how rich he is, he has little relationship with him. His main task is to deliver documents.
Just when he was hesitating whether to go to the third floor, a lazy voice suddenly came.
"Come up."
Li Yucai was stunned for a moment, and thought for a moment, it must be what the store owner said after he found out that he had entered.
Although I don't know how he found out that he had come in, it is very common nowadays to install cameras and other things in stores, so it is not surprising.
After receiving the owner's permission, Li Yucai boldly continued to walk upstairs.
After all, such a person might be able to send him back to his hometown immediately with a flick of his finger, but he would not dare to move without permission.
The third floor is a large living room, and the balcony of the living room faces the bustling Wangfujing streets outside.
There are some antique vases with simple shapes placed around the living room, and there are various calligraphy and paintings on the walls. They are all valuable antiques that are rarely seen on the market.
I have seen some antique calligraphy and paintings in the homes of some bureau chiefs or division chiefs in the capital before, but compared with the ones in this living room, the ones I have seen seem a bit inconspicuous.
There was a green emerald lounge chair on the balcony facing the street. The lounge chair swayed slightly, as if someone was lying on it.
Li Yucai stepped forward gently and said carefully: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, Director Wang sent me to deliver documents to you."
"Okay, I know."
A hand with slender fingers stretched out from in front of the recliner, and Li Yucai immediately offered the documents in his hands with understanding.
Judging from the skin of his hands, Mr. Zhang should be very young, probably much younger than himself. He should be a descendant of a wealthy family. After all, there are too many crouching tiger, hidden dragon families in the capital.
After taking the document, Zhang Ziqing opened the document bag and took out the eye-catching red-headed document inside.
Li Yucai looked away with a wink, knowing that this was something he was not qualified to see.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Ziqing handed the document in his hand to Li Yucai. Li Yucai was stunned for a moment and did not dare to reach out to take it.
"Just throw it away for me when you go out later," Zhang Ziqing said softly, "You can read it if you want. There's nothing important."
With Zhang Ziqing's permission, Li Yucai dared to reach out and take the document.
After carefully collecting the documents and putting them back into the document bag, Li Yucai turned around and prepared to leave. After all, it was almost time to get off work. He should be able to go home directly, or go to the work tomorrow.
But before he turned around and took two steps, Zhang Ziqing stopped Li Yucai again.
"Wait a moment."
Li Yucai was stunned for a moment, then quickly stopped and turned around, "Mr. Zhang, do you have anything else to say?"
The recliner stopped shaking, and a man named Zhang Ziqing slowly stood up from the recliner, then turned to face Li Yucai.
Only then did Li Yucai see the true face of Boss Zhang in Lushan. He was much younger than he had imagined.
According to my guess, this boss Zhang must be in his mid-twenties, but now just looking at his face, it seems that he is just a boy of eighteen or nineteen, and he is extremely good-looking, even in a place like the capital. Li Yucai has never seen a face more beautiful than that of a young man.
But judging from the boy's eyes, it seemed that there was something incompatible with his age...a kind of see-through gaze.
"What's your name? How old are you this year?" Zhang Ziqing asked softly.
"My name is Li Yucai, Mr. Zhang, and I am thirty years old." Although he didn't know why Mr. Zhang asked this question, Li Yucai answered honestly.
Zhang Ziqing nodded, pointed in a certain direction, and asked a question that made Li Yucai almost lose his balance.
"Do you want to be an official in that place?"
Li Yucai took one look, gasped, and quickly withdrew his gaze, not daring to look any further.
The direction Zhang Ziqing pointed turned out to be where the country's leaders work!
"Normal people should think about this. It's just that I come from an ordinary background and don't have much family background. I definitely don't have the ability and opportunity." Li Yucai answered cautiously. But at the same time, he also had a hunch in his heart that Mr. Zhang might change his destiny casually today.
"How about we make a deal?" Zhang Ziqing asked.
Li Yucai was stunned, a deal? What does such a big shot want that he can't get? Do you still need to trade with someone like yourself who has nothing?
"Mr. Zhang, do I have anything that you can like for trading?" Li Yucai asked carefully.
Could it be that he wants to be his employee? If that's the case, you might have a much better future working with such a person than you would in that small unit.
In that small unit, I had neither background nor the ability to curry favor with the leader. What's the use of just having ability? If I wait for another twenty or thirty years for promotion and salary increase, I won't be able to afford it. I can't afford a house in Beijing either. Sooner or later, You have to go back home.
If he could follow a rich second generation like Zhang Ziqing, his income in the future might be several times what it is now!
I just heard that most of the things these young men in the capital do are illegal, and I don’t know if they want me to do such things. If so, I really need to think about it.
"Starting from tomorrow, your official career will reach the top. You will be promoted to the place I just pointed out within five or ten years. When you are about to retire, you will sit in a high position in that place. , probably the kind of position you can see on the news." Zhang Ziqing's tone was very calm, but the content contained in it made Li Yucai sweat profusely and even couldn't believe it.
"The price in exchange is that you need to do one thing for me during your lifetime."
"Mr. Zhang, can I ask you what's going on in advance?" Li Yucai thought for a while and decided to ask about the price first. After all, even if this young man deceived him, it would be a great joy for him. Even if it doesn't, it's just his original life.
Zhang Ziqing shook his head, "You don't need to know this now. If you are willing, I will tell you about it when we meet again in forty years."
After listening to Zhang Ziqing's words, Li Yucai fell into deep hesitation.
If he agrees to Zhang Ziqing, according to him, his future life will be smooth, and he will be indispensable for glory and wealth. Although he has not yet told himself what the price will be forty years from now, but such a huge The good thing is that you can guess with your buttocks that the cost is certainly not small.
But if he doesn't agree, then he must be like most Beipiao. Although he looks more respectable as a civil servant, he also knows in his heart that with his small salary income, the final result he will face will only be more than two years. When I was young, my parents urged me to go home for a blind date, quit my job, get married, find a stable job at home, and my parents used some money to buy a house in installments.
But such a life can almost end at a glance, and it can be said that it is not interesting at all.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yucai gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang, I am willing to promise you."
No matter what, since he said he would come back to him in forty years, and he would be seventy years old by then, what else could he do for him? Make arrangements for your family in advance and leave money for them. At worst, you will have to pay for it with your life when the time comes.
After listening to Li Yucai's answer, Zhang Ziqing nodded and waved his hand, which probably meant that you can go, and then returned to the recliner, which began to shake gently again.
Li Yucai turned around and left, and Zhang Ziqing didn't stop him this time.
After he returned to his small rental house, ate, washed, and other things, and when it was time to go to bed at night, and then recalling what happened in the evening, Li Yucai smiled and shook his head, feeling that This thing is too illusory and not real at all.
This young man named Zhang Ziqing must be the son of a big family. His identity is true, but how much energy does it take to work in the central government and still be able to get a position in the News Network? Who in the central government does not belong to a large family during the founding of the People's Republic of China? What qualifications does a farmer's child like himself have to get in?
Just based on this young man's words? How much energy does this young man have to have to be an official in the central government? Who does he think his father is? National leader?
After having this idea, the more Li Yucai thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was just a fantasy, so he simply stopped thinking about it, turned off the lights and went to sleep, and just regarded it as a joke that the young man played on himself.
But when Li Yucai woke up and went to work the next day, he realized that Zhang Ziqing didn't seem to be joking with him.
Not long after he sat on the office chair, the leader came to his seat and said that the director wanted to see him by name.
Li Yucai's heart skipped a beat. Although his unit was not a key unit, reaching the position of director was not something that ordinary people could achieve. After all, his family was either rich or noble. In Beijing, everyone had to wait in line to see him. See you team.
I have worked here for more than a year, and I have only met the director a few times during the year-end meeting. I saw him sitting in the back row and couldn't say a word to him.
There are hundreds of employees like him in the company, and the director doesn't even bother to recognize them. Those with connections are immediately assigned to the director as soon as they come in. Normally, he would have to work hard for twenty or thirty years before he has a chance. Reach the position where people just came in.
But now the leader told himself that the director asked to see him by name. How could the director know him?
Li Yucai suddenly remembered what Zhang Ziqing said to him yesterday. Is what he said true? I'm about to transfer myself.
Thinking of this, Li Yucai got a little excited for no reason and hurriedly followed the leader to the director's office.
After the leader opened the door of the office, he motioned for Li Yucai to go in alone, while he stood guard outside the door.
After entering the office, Li Yucai discovered that the director was not the only one in the office. In addition to the director, there was also a serious-looking middle-aged man wearing thick glasses and looking up and down at Li Yucai who came in.
Li Yucai carefully noticed that this middle-aged man was sitting behind the director's large desk, while the director was sitting on the side of the reception room. He was not sitting in a lazy posture, but with an upright posture.
It seemed that the person who came had an unusually high profile. Even if he wasn't from the place the boy mentioned, he should be the leader of some important department.
"Li Yucai, right?" Before Li Yucai could say hello, the man took the lead and said to himself: "Let me introduce myself, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee Office, my name is Liang Shaoping. If you pay attention to personnel transfers within the system, you should have heard of me. name."
Li Yucai nodded quickly and said: "Of course, of course, many documents sent from our unit have Secretary-General Liang's signature on them."
Liang Shaoping nodded with satisfaction, "I'll keep the story short. I'll hand it over to my colleagues in your unit today. Starting from tomorrow, your position will be the section chief of the first department of the municipal party committee general office."
Liang Shaoping's words immediately made Li Yucai's brain dizzy, followed by overwhelming joy.
Municipal Party Committee Office? Or the section chief?
Not to mention section chiefs, the ideal of most people in the unit in this life is to be able to squeeze into the municipal party committee general office and become an ordinary section member. If you go to the municipal party committee general office in the capital, you can go to other prefecture-level cities to save face. You already have the inside, who dares not to entertain you well? After returning home, fellow villagers from ten villages and eight townships would come to see me and praise me with words such as honoring my ancestors.
I originally wanted to be able to hang out in my existing unit, and I was satisfied with being the deputy section chief, but now I have directly become the section chief of the Municipal Party Committee Office? In terms of real power, he has much greater power than the director of his current unit.
Liang Shaoping seemed to be in a daze when he saw Li Yucai. He knocked on his desk lightly and said, "Chief Li, do you have any questions?"
"Ah, no, no, I'm sorry, Secretary-General Liang, I was so happy just now that I was a little distracted for a moment." Li Yucai quickly explained.
Chief Li, that sounds really good.
Liang Shaoping nodded understandingly and stood up from the chair, "Okay, I'm done. Tomorrow Section Chief Li will just go directly to the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department to report. Director Zhang from the Organization Department will take you to your post."
"Secretary-General Liang, would you like to stay for lunch?" Seeing that Liang Shaoping seemed to be ready to leave, the director quickly stood up from his seat and said kindly to stay.
Liang Shaoping shook his head, "I won't eat anymore. I have other work to do in the morning. I'll wait until I have the chance next time."
After finishing speaking, Liang Shaoping glanced at Li Yucai intentionally or unintentionally, "There should be a welcome party after Section Chief Li arrives at the Municipal Party Committee. It won't be too late to eat by then."
Li Yucai nodded repeatedly, "Of course, if I serve as a host in a few days, Secretary-General Liang will definitely reward me."
After receiving Li Yucai's reply, Liang Shaoping waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to see him off, and turned around and left the office.
Seeing the door of the office close, the director breathed a sigh of relief, put on a friendly and kind smile, and put his hand on Li Yucai's shoulder, "Xiao Li, oh no, I should call you Section Chief Li now, you have Why didn't you tell me that you came from such a big background? Look, you have always been placed at the grassroots level. This is not because our unit has buried talents.
Secretary-General Liang saw this, and he might even blame me for not blinking. The age difference between us is not that big, so it’s not too much for me to call you brother from now on, right? "
Li Yucai was a little flattered. He had not yet adapted to his identity change and didn't know what to say.
The director didn't take it seriously and whispered in Li Yucai's ear: "Brother, there are no outsiders in this office now. Can you tell me about the big shot who easily transferred you to the municipal party committee?" What is your identity?"
Li Yucai hesitated for a moment, then said carefully, "Director, this is a bit inconvenient. The big shot doesn't want his identity to be known, and you should understand that it's not good to know some things..." ..."
The director was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I understand, don't worry, brother, I won't ask any more questions.
But brother, when I go to the Municipal Party Committee General Office and become a big leader, I have to help our unit get more benefits. After all, you have been here for so long and you know how much the benefits and benefits of our unit can be. Oh no, I don’t have anything. Let me tell you, last month..."
Li Yucai couldn't remember what the director said later. Maybe he didn't listen carefully at the time. After all, no matter who this great good thing happened to, he might be happy and wait for a few days, just like Fan Jin won the exam. Generally, it is difficult for people to be emotionally stable.
In the following decades, although Li Yucai was mentally prepared that his promotion speed would be unusual, he still underestimated the energy of Mr. Zhang. It only took him twenty years to reach the fifth level. At the age of ten, Mr. Zhang had already fulfilled his promise to himself and appeared in Xinwen Network's broadcast about the country's leaders.
Although he could not take another step up, he also knew that if he wanted to go up further, he would have to sit in a position reserved for those who had shed blood on the snow-capped mountains and grasslands. And the step he had reached had already surpassed ordinary people. The pinnacle that a person can reach.
Li Yucai initially tried to find the big shot who had been manipulating his promotion behind the scenes. In his understanding, since Mr. Zhang was not in politics, he should have some connections in the officialdom and had been helping him. He operates.
As Li Yucai's position gets higher and higher, there are almost only a handful of people who can decide his position. He has visited and tested them all, but no one seems to know the person named Zhang Ziqing.
I originally thought that this person was unwilling to reveal his relationship with Zhang Ziqing to me, but after some secret investigations of my own, I still couldn't find any clues related to Zhang Ziqing.
It's like every step I take, someone will quickly take a fancy to my ability and then pull me up to where I am now.
Although it seems a bit outrageous, I have to admit that this is the most reasonable explanation so far. Is it really because my work ability is different from ordinary people, plus I am the chosen one or something, and I am lucky. Outrageous?
Unable to find the person who could help him, Li Yucai simply gave up and took care of himself. Anyway, he has reached this point. There are very few things in this country that he cannot do, even if he does. When he was seventy years old, Mr. Zhang came to find him, and I was confident that I could help him accomplish what he wanted to do.
As he got older, Li Yucai began to behave like a normal person, marrying a wife and having children, and then his son gave birth to a grandson for himself.
On a wide plain, Zhang Ziqing and Chen Hao stood face to face, imposing as mountains. They are all the most outstanding warriors in the Yandi tribe and possess powerful Taoist power.
Zhang Ziqing stared at Chen Hao, his eyes revealing firmness and determination. He clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and began to recite the incantation silently. The surrounding air began to become thicker, and a powerful energy surged in his body.
Not to be outdone, Chen Hao raised his hands and stood motionless. There was a hint of indifference and confidence in his eyes. As he breathed, a wave of heat emanated from his body, forming a barrier of flames.
As Zhang Ziqing read the last syllable, a golden light shot out from his hand and headed straight for Chen Hao. The light cut through the air like a sharp sword, and it was so fast that it was difficult to dodge.
Chen Hao smiled slightly, quickly formed a seal with his hands, and a huge fireball rose from his hands, facing the golden light. The golden light and the fireball collided together, making a huge explosion.
The battle between the two became more and more intense. Zhang Ziqing transformed into a phoenix, flapped his wings, and blazing flames spurted out from his body and attacked Chen Hao. Chen Hao transformed into a mighty dragon, with its tail swinging and violent winds and flames raging wildly.
In a Taoist competition, the two of you come and go, every move is a matter of life and death. Zhang Ziqing used his thunder and lightning technique, and a bolt of lightning struck down, breaking through Chen Hao's defense. Chen Hao used the earth escape technique to disappear in an instant, avoiding the fatal blow.
At the most intense moment of the battle, both Zhang Ziqing and Chen Hao were wounded all over their bodies, but they still did not flinch and were determined to defeat each other. Their bodies emitted powerful energy fluctuations, as if they were about to destroy the entire plain.
In the end, Zhang Ziqing and Chen Hao simultaneously displayed their most powerful Taoist skills. Zhang Ziqing gathered all his true energy, and a huge flame dragon emerged out of thin air and rolled toward Chen Hao. Chen Hao, on the other hand, used Water Curtain Barrier to form a huge water wall to fight against the flame dragon.
The two powerful forces merged together and erupted into extremely terrifying power. The entire plain was instantly enveloped in flames and mist, and energy fluctuations violently impacted the surrounding air.
The battle finally ended, Zhang Ziqing and Chen Hao both fell to the ground. Neither of them won, but the fierce battle left each with a deep admiration for the other. They understand that each other is an equally powerful opponent and no one can easily defeat the other.
Although the battle is over, the friendship between Zhang Ziqing and Chen Hao has begun. They learn together and make progress together, hoping that one day they can compete again and find each other's shortcomings.
This battle is not only a competition in Taoism, but also a collision of souls. Through this battle, Zhang Ziqing and Chen Hao strengthened their beliefs and gained growth and improvement. They will continue to work hard to strive for a more glorious future for the Yandi tribe.
Anyway, my official career has come to an end, and I am already at this age, so I might as well just spend the rest of my time with my family.
Chen Hao gritted his teeth and felt the severe pain in his chest, but he did not give up. "I admit that your swordsmanship is better than mine, but I will never give up easily."
After saying that, Chen Hao suddenly burst out with amazing power and shook Zhang Ziqing away. He picked up the long sword again and rushed towards Zhang Ziqing at top speed. Zhang Ziqing did not show any weakness, and the two sides once again started a fierce fight.
In this competition, both Zhang Ziqing and Chen Hao showed their strongest strength. They interpreted their spirit and beliefs with swordsmanship, and created their own glory with their hands.
