The success rate of contract cursed relics is too low. There is no 100% certainty. Anyone may die. The aristocratic family itself is not short of money, food and drink, and enjoyment. It is not for any special reason. There are really not many people who are willing to try to contract and curse the relics. They would rather choose to practice martial arts or even try to awaken their spiritual roots than to contract and curse the relics. Those who dare are all warriors.
However, according to legend, in the family, there is a special cursed relic called a bloodline relic. It is still a cursed relic, but this cursed relic has a special bloodline inheritance ability. For the same bloodline, when making a contract, it can increase the success The probability of making a contract for ordinary people is only 30%, but if there are corresponding bloodline relics, the success rate can be increased to 70%. Although it is not 100%, it is still a quite astonishing number.
The formation of bloodline relics is very special.
First of all, someone from the ancestors must become a monk, and he must be an orthodox monk who has awakened his spiritual roots and has spiritual roots in his body. Then, when this ancestor who awakens his spiritual roots is about to die, he must completely integrate his blood into the spiritual roots. In the process, one completely sacrifices one's soul and blood to one's own spiritual roots, turning the spiritual roots into something similar to a cursed relic and becoming a bloodline relic. The curse contained in such relics is often not strong.
Moreover, for people of the same bloodline, the backlash will not be too great, at least it will not be fatal, it will only cause some other irreparable damage, and in this way, compared to the contract of ordinary cursed relics, it is simply much better.
Many aristocratic families will create their own family bloodline relics.
The real rating of some aristocratic families is estimated based on the strength and quantity of bloodline relics. Whether or not there are bloodline relics is a measure of the family's heritage.
The Zhang family has been inherited for so many years, so there may not be any blood relics. After all, the family has a superior life, with many wives and concubines, and many heirs. If there are many heirs, then naturally, the chance of awakening spiritual roots will be greatly increased. As long as one appears, Whether life or death, it plays an irreplaceable and important role for the entire family.
When he discovered that Zhang Dejun was a spiritual master, the first thing Zhuang Buzhou thought of was the blood relic.
Of course, it could also be a cursed relic.
These are not impossible. Anyone who is willing to work hard can become a spiritual master.
But not only him, Zhang Debiao and Zhang Dehuai are both spiritual masters, which is interesting.
"The Zhang family is not simple, and neither am I."
"Fighting against heaven is endless fun, fighting against humans is endless fun."
Zhuang Buzhou glanced at the Zhang family courtyard with a chuckle and left.
.....................
Zhang family, in the main hall.
Everyone else had left, only Zhang Dejun and Zhang Zhiyu were left there.
The smile on Zhang Dejun's face had long since disappeared. He looked at Zhang Zhiyu with a complicated look in his eyes. He was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Zhiyu, tell me now what your thoughts are. Your path to the draft is no longer working." ”
"Dad, I want to enter the ancestral temple."
Zhang Zhiyu took a deep breath, a firm look flashed in his eyes, and spoke decisively.
"good!!"
Zhang Dejun looked at her deeply, was silent for a while, and then said: "Okay, dad will arrange for you to go in. However, the success or failure depends on you. Others can't help you, and you can't touch the blood relics. This is the rule."
"Actually, you can choose to marry Zhuang Qiling. Judging from his words and deeds, he is not mediocre. Maybe he is not as good as entering the palace, but he is still considered a talented person. It may not be a good choice. Fulfilling the engagement is not a bad thing."
Zhang Dejun took a deep breath and said suddenly.
"Second brother, something might have happened."
A look of sadness flashed in Zhang Zhiyu's eyes. Ever since Zhuang Qiling appeared and took out the engagement contract, she had already guessed that something had happened to Zhang Chengfeng. Moreover, the Gu master who took action last night might have been tracked. Until now, Zhang Chengfeng has not If he doesn't come back, the possibility of disaster is extremely high.
If it was really Zhuang Qiling who did it, then this marriage proposal must have ulterior motives and impure purposes.
No matter what, be prepared.
"My father is well aware of what Chengfeng has been doing in the past few years. He originally wanted Zhiyu to let you enter the palace smoothly, so he turned a blind eye. I didn't expect that things would evolve into this situation. There are not many choices before us, and the Zhang family’s reputation cannot be compromised.”
"Zhuang Qiling can actually bring out spiritual tea as a gift. The betrothal gift he sent contains many items that can only be found in the spiritual world. Logically speaking, it is impossible for him to have them. He can recover this time. I suspect that there are other high-ranking officials behind it. People support it, bankers are not that simple.”
Zhang Dejun said in a deep voice.
Based on the situation of the banker, even if he recovers his body, it is impossible to offer such a betrothal gift, and he has just recovered. Zhang Dejun would not believe it if other spiritual masters had not intervened. The problem is, we have no idea who the person behind the banker is and what kind of strong person he is.
The unknown and mysterious are the scariest things.
No one knows what is hidden behind it.
If there is no one behind this and the banker with a poor family can still come up with such a betrothal gift, then it is absolutely impossible.
They would never believe it.
"I suspect that Zhuang Qiling is already a spiritual master."
Zhang Zhiyu said.
The temperament exuded by Zhuang Buzhou was obviously different from before, and even more outstanding. This was something that ordinary scholars did not have.
"Don't worry about these, I will arrange it. You go to the ancestral temple first."
Zhang Dejun said in a deep voice.
"Yes, father."
Zhang Zhiyu nodded and agreed.
Then, he turned and left the lobby.
"What kind of mysterious and powerful person is hidden behind this banker?"
Zhang Dejun frowned slightly and murmured to himself.
"Go find the triple gate!!"
As the words fell, one could clearly see that a shadow moved beneath him, and a figure shrouded in black robes emerged. Then, he quickly disappeared into the shadows and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This black-robed figure soon left the Zhang family and kept shuttling through the streets and alleys. The places he walked were areas full of shadows. Many times, he passed directly through the shadows of pedestrians. In this regard, , others don’t even feel the slightest bit.
It's like walking in two completely different worlds.
Soon, after twists and turns, we came to South Street. South Street was very lively, with people coming and going everywhere. There were all kinds of shops, but in this busy city, there was a very deserted shop with the name of the shop. It's very special, it's called the Sanzhong Building.
This Sanzhonglou is in the restaurant business, but the food cooked by the chef in this restaurant is simply terrible. Anyone who has been here once will almost never think about coming back a second time. Business is naturally Not much better. Someone persuaded the boss to let him quit the cook and hire a good cook. If the food tastes good, then naturally, the business will grow. Unfortunately, these things were not absorbed by the shopkeeper.
The cook has always been as stable as a mountain, with no sign of being fired at all. The boss doesn't seem to care whether the business in the restaurant is good or bad. Anyway, after so many years, Sanchonglou has never closed down, as if the boss is not short of money at all.
No matter how much you lose, don’t be afraid.
But the desertedness of the restaurant is completely visible.
This aspect is quite unique and quite famous in South Street. All in all, this is a century-old shop, and the boss is often replaced. Externally, it is said that they are all relatives who take over the shop. The name of the shop has never changed, and the dishes prepared by the chef are as unpalatable as ever.
Usually, few people come.
Desertedness is the norm.
The man in black robe walked into the restaurant, came to the counter, looked at an old man behind the counter, and said, "Shopkeeper, I want to treat you."
The old man who was drowsy behind the counter immediately opened his eyes, his cloudy eyes swept over the man in black robe, and asked slowly: "Where is this customer?"
"Human guest."
The man in black robe said calmly.
"I want to invite some distinguished guests."
The old man said seriously.
"one"
"You are honored as a distinguished guest."
"The young master of the banker, Zhuang Qiling."
The man in black robe continued.
"The banker Zhuang Qiling, the standards are not low."
The old man said with a chuckle.
"Money is not an issue. As long as we can hire him within three days, everything will be easy."
The black robe said nonchalantly.
"I took the thousand silver talisman coins from Sanzhonglou."
"OK, alright."
"The rules of Sanzhonglou are to pay first and then treat guests. If the treat fails, the money will not be refunded, but the guests will continue to be entertained. If the guest fails to come three times, then from now on, we, Sanzhonglou, will no longer entertain him."
The old man said casually.
"Okay, then ask the boss to treat us to a banquet as soon as possible."
The black robe nodded and put down a thousand silver talismans.
"Don't worry, since our Sanzhong Building wants to invite you, of course we will send the right people to invite you. Within three days, there will be a result."
The old man said with a smile.
"Okay, Sanchonglou's reputation is still worthy of trust, so I'll wait for your good news."
The man in black robe nodded and agreed.
Then, the man in black robe did not stay, turned around and left.
The old man took a deep look at him, then took out a scroll and wrote something on it. Then he put the scroll into a small altar and threw it in. The scroll disappeared from the altar.
"The three-layered building, the three-layered gate, the gate of man, cuts off the world of mortals, the gate of earth, buries immortals and gods, the gate of heaven, cuts off immortality. Come to the world, cut off the world of mortals."
The old man murmured to himself, then lay down behind the counter and fell asleep.
It's such a big spring and autumn dream that people really don't want to wake up.
At this moment, opposite Jiuzhong Tower, there is a restaurant. This restaurant is much more normal. It is called Qingyu Tower. The most famous thing in the restaurant is naturally the highland barley wine, which tastes very good. Moreover, it only sells aged wine, which was brewed in the same year. Wine will not be sold. This is a reputation gained over hundreds of years. In the business, there has never been any fake wine or new wine, so the reputation is certainly not bad.
