In the next ten days, no one knew that in the quiet and elegant original Zhao Mansion, now in the Zhang Mansion, which was like home, a little carp had quietly passed through the dragon transformation process.
No thunder, no disaster.
Everything fell into place.
Fortunately, Zhang Kun had prepared many excuses in advance and laid out thirty-six layers of breath-holding and hiding formations that he had cobbled together. In the end, nothing happened.
When the little carp turned into a white dragon and circled the house three times nine feet above the ground, swimming excitedly in the sky, there was not even a dark cloud in the sky and not a drop of rain fell.
"We are blessed by nature, we are truly blessed by nature."
Zhang Kun looked a little envious.
Some creatures are like this. They are loved by God and have strong innate blood. As long as they reach adulthood and reach a certain level of blood awakening, they can walk the path that human monks have taken for countless years.
There is no need to understand the rules of heaven and earth, nor to practice various powerful techniques to overcome levels.
As long as you reach a certain age, it will be done directly.
Moreover, Zhang Kun could see it.
After the little carp transforms into a dragon, in the future training, as long as he accumulates mana according to his blood instinct, improves his cultivation, and simply eats and sleeps, he can reach the late fifth level.
This is a bit scary.
"Why has such a powerful talent declined so much? Why do even mortal monsters dare to attack it?"
It can only be said that the dragon clan is a typical example of playing a good hand to pieces, and in the end, it is either reduced to a mount or a thug of the elders.
Innate bloodline is not enough, how much achievements can be achieved, generally depends on the day after tomorrow, hard work and training, fighting out of adversity.
Thinking of this, Zhang Kun gained some understanding of everything in the world.
"Ms. sir, is the time now ripe? Can you lead your troops and kill Benshui Mansion? I can't wait."
The little carp that turned into a human form again may not be called a carp at this time, but a dragon girl.
At this time, his height has reached Zhang Kun's chin, his figure is slim, slender, and vigorous.
There is a long sword in his hand, and the water is shining brightly. As he speaks and exhales, the water vapor in the air ripples slightly. The seemingly weak body contains unparalleled power.
"Where are you? You are only at the early stage of the fifth level and have just broken through. By the way, I only know that the Dragon Lord of Dongting Water Mansion is your thirteenth concubine brother. What level of cultivation is he?"
"Brother Thirteen, he was originally a dragon. He had a violent temper since he was a child. He changed his name to Ao Lie. On the day he transformed into a dragon, he killed two brothers of the same clan, escaped from the South China Sea, and came to Dongting to be known as the Dragon King. I don’t know the specific cultivation level, I only know that two uncle-level elders from the Nanhai Dragon Palace once came to arrest them, but they were severely injured and returned. One of them even died after returning to the Dragon Palace.”
Speaking of this, a trace of sadness appeared in Xiaolian's eyes.
"We thought that although Nao Lie had a violent temper, he would eventually care about blood and family ties. Under the leadership of his mother, he fled Nanhai and came to Dongting, but was expelled from Shuifu. My mother spoke carelessly and was even injured by him. , who later fled and hid, was besieged by Dongting Water Mansion, and became seriously injured and died. Aunt Xue and Aunt Jin also died, and then..."
Little Carp didn't say anything about what happened next, but Zhang Kun also knew about it.
At that time, she was just a little carp with little power and low level. She couldn't beat any bigger fish, so she kept escaping from deep water to the shore. Perhaps because she was exhausted, she was caught by an ordinary fisherman, and then It was bought back home by the original person.
"It turns out that the Dragon Clan is also fighting among themselves."
For a clan with such a powerful bloodline, its decline is definitely not just due to the decline in luck.
Not to mention anything else, his arrogant temperament, hot temper, and love of internal fighting must be one of the reasons.
"Since you have no friendship with the so-called thirteenth concubine brother, but have some grudges, this matter will be easier to handle."
Zhang Kun raised his eyebrows: "You don't have to worry too much about what you do in the future. If you have grievances, just complain and take revenge. However, the time is not yet ripe now, so let's not take action for the time being. The rumors must be dealt with first."
"yes."
The little carp was very nervous. He was still crying just now, but he became happy again in the blink of an eye.
Breaking through the bottleneck of life and reaching another stage is something worth celebrating. Even in the South China Sea, if you encounter a dragon reaching the fifth level, you will have a banquet to celebrate.
Here in Baling, there is not much to pay attention to.
Little Carp decided to cook himself, make some newly learned dishes, and have a good meal.
Except for the little carp that quietly turned into a dragon.
There is one more thing that has come to light.
Wei Lian, the former catcher and now the head catcher, came smelling the smell.
"Uncle Wei came just in time, just in time for dinner, let's have a drink together."
Seeing the expression on Wei Lian's face, Zhang Kun's heart moved, and he didn't even ask why he came, knowing that the matter was probably done.
"My lord, you're welcome. I have to leave the city later."
Wei Lian was slightly embarrassed. Uncle Wei could bear this sound without any burden before, but now, he couldn't bear it.
He was very satisfied with the current situation and had a calm demeanor. He saw that the little carp seemed to have grown up a few years and his body and appearance had changed. He did not dare to look at it at the moment and said with a smile: "My lord's strategy of fishing in troubled waters is really clever. Incomparably, my subordinates just sent more than thirty people to the seventy-eight villages in the remaining four cities to spread the news, and immediately no one paid attention to the news about Baling."
"Tell me, what is the most widely circulated news now?"
Zhang Kun smiled, this was expected.
No matter who is behind the scenes, they have put themselves on the fire.
In the face of rumors, unless we can eradicate them from the source, and then use strong force to silence Youyou...
Otherwise, the more secretive it is, the more it will spread everywhere.
In the end, even if it is false, it will become true.
So, it's very difficult to deal with.
It is naturally impossible for Zhang Kun to solve the rumor problem from the source.
With his character, it is impossible for him to go around killing people just because of a few careless remarks made by others.
The only way is to ignore those rumors and instead release more news that seems to be true or false.
The reason why rumors are scary is that the people behind the rumors spread the news selectively to achieve a certain purpose.
But if messy news spreads everywhere, coupled with some obviously ridiculous remarks, even an unlearned person can tell that it is false news, then even if it is true news, it will Lose credibility and become worthless.
Wei Lian has been busy with this matter these days.
"The most widely circulated news is that the Lord is raising dragons in Baling and wants to plot the Dongting Water Mansion..."
Wei Lian paused, and his expression became a little excited: "There are two more news, which are even more horrifying than the previous one. They are like noses and eyes, and many people believe them. Some people say that Snake Panling The great demon Qingyun wants to sacrifice three hundred miles of fishing villages along the lake, take control of the water mansion, and compete with the governor's mansion.
Some people even say that Shi Yushu, the legitimate son of the governor, and Li Lingqiu, the guard general, fought against each other in order to meet Fairy Zizhulin Mingyu, and their heads were broken. At this time, the situation was already on the same level, and both families had ended the fight. "
"Ha...that's interesting. Which of them has met Fairy Mingyu and won her heart?"
Zhang Kun's eyes lit up.
"Sir, this is false. It is the news that several of my subordinates thought about for three days and nights. Not to mention, Shitou looks like a tough guy, but he is actually quite smart. These two pieces of news, Just like the real thing.”
"It's fake." Zhang Kun was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
These rumors are both fragrant and bloody. They are much more attractive than the news about raising a dragon yourself, and they cannot help but spread.
"There is another piece of news that has been spread, but I'm afraid there may be hidden dangers."
After laughing, there was some worry on Wei Lian's face, and he whispered: "It is now rumored in the five cities that the death of Zuo Yukun was because the governor's office took action and secretly murdered him because he did not want to have another person above his head. The handle can fall off at any time, so someone is doing something secretly."
You are right, someone is indeed causing trouble.
But it's not the governor's office, but me.
It's not a deliberate murder, it's just a desperate attempt to retaliate.
Zhang Kun shook his head. This news was a bit false.
However, it doesn't matter. Most people are ignorant and won't really care whether the news is true or false, and there is a conspiracy.
In particular, the drama of the fight between the Governor's Mansion and the Tiance Mansion, competing for power and profit, is even more enjoyable.
As for these little rumors about Baling, what do they count among the countless true and false stories about big shots?
Install the latest version. 】
Of course, a truly thoughtful person can naturally tell what is true and what is false.
For example, there is Shepanling, and another example is where the Governor's Mansion is.
However, even if they can clear away the fog, it doesn't matter.
Zhang Kun muddied the pond, not to clear up any grievances or to dispel rumors.
The real purpose is to build the plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly.
Others thought they were fighting some invisible enemy over the rumor.
In fact, I don't care much about these little things at all.
Even if someone sees through the purpose, so what.
Can't solve the problem.
Then solve the man behind the manufacturing problem.
Eliminate hidden dangers sooner rather than later.
…
Shepanling is known as one of the three mountains with one mansion, one temple, three mountains and five cities. It is indeed sinister to match its reputation.
It's not that the mountain is so tall and steep, but that there are too many monsters on the mountain.
When you look at it from a distance, you will have a sense of colorfulness. The clouds on the mountain seem to have condensed into substance. If an ordinary person takes a breath, he will probably not be able to shout. It is not a strange thing to die suddenly on the spot.
"It's just a poisonous mountain."
Zhang Kun stood thirty miles below the foot of the mountain and stopped moving forward. Looking at the sparse smoke rising from the villages surrounding the mountain, a cold feeling rose in his heart.
"You can't use force, you can't attack by force, you have to be smart."
No matter how much he believed in his own abilities, Zhang Kun was very self-aware. He was still in the early stages of the divine martial realm, and there was still a lot of room for improvement.
You cannot regard yourself as a master who is invincible in the world, and do not take the world's people and monsters into consideration.
This mountain cannot be attacked.
If we attack now, we may win, but we may capsize in the gutter, so why bother?
If you don't act cautiously, even if you win nine times and lose once, it's not worth it.
"Don't you mean that the three mountain masters of Shepanling are all focusing on the battle for the water palace? Judging from the situation in front of us, there must be a monster staying behind, and it is also an extraordinary monster."
Zhang Kun knows that among the three mountain masters of Snake Pan Mountain, the main mountain master is named Qingyun, which is also the most famous Lord Qingyun. He is a python that turns into a demon whose true identity is unknown. He wants to swallow the water of the Divine Dragon of Shuifu and get transformation. Ask the way of heaven and directly cultivate into a demon immortal.
The Second Mountain Lord is not that famous, but his fighting power is not weak at all. His name is Lingxi. It is said that the mountain rock turned into a rhinoceros. The body of the rock gave birth to spiritual intelligence. He is extremely strong and has deep demonic power. He is also one of the fifth-level souls. A rare master who is difficult to deal with.
It is very likely that this person will also go to Dongting with him.
There is also a Three Mountain Lord, named Heishui. He seems to be the Blackwater Black Snake who turned into a demon. He usually does not have much reputation, but when it comes to being vicious and difficult to offend, this one is actually more famous than the two brothers. Some.
Just like now.
Wails could be heard in the distance.
The sound was muffled, coming from far and near, stuffy in the throat, making it hard to hear.
Zhang Kun's five senses are very sharp, and he can hear the misery and despair in this small voice from more than ten miles away.
He dodged and moved forward, dodging twice in a row, and quietly arrived at the place where the cry came from.
This is a hut. There is a man and a woman in the house. They have old faces. They look like they are in their forties, or seventy or eighty years old. Their faces are full of ravines, as if they are almost exhausted by the burden of life. Dry.
A man and a woman hugged a three-year-old boy tightly, with muddy tears falling like beads. In the midst of sobbing, the woman begged: "Let's run away. The farther away the better, Xiaogu is only three years old, he can't do anything." If you don’t understand, you have to send it to worship God…”
"What god? Is that a monster? We can't escape. Even if we escape from the mouth of the monster, we can't escape from the eyes and ears of other people in the village. Once we are discovered, our family will be dead. Maybe the whole village will fall into the trap." In the monster’s mouth.”
The man spoke feebly, his expression gradually becoming dull.
"This is our fate. Thirty-six villages and towns south of Shepanling Mountain must pay tribute to thirty-six pairs of boys and girls every year to the snake god, in order to ask it to protect me and other mountain people. It is easy to escape. , it’s nothing more than pulling everyone to die together.”
"How about we ask Wuyun Immortal Master of Lingxi Village? Since he can negotiate with the snake god, why can't he exempt the snake god from paying tribute? I think he is colluding with the snake god..."
"Shut up, do you want to kill everyone?"
"The little grains will be eaten. If you are killed, you will be killed." The visible roots of the woman's hair turned white, and her eyes were red, like a ghost.
Like a shadow, Zhang Kun stood quietly in the corner of the house, his eyes cold. His mental power swept across the village, and he saw another family facing the end of life and death.
"It seems that every year when the festival day comes, children are sent to the festival in every village. This has been the case every year for the past thirty years."
You don't know until you come out. Once you come out, Zhang Kun understands that in places where the dynasty's force cannot take care of, the survival of the people actually depends not on prosperity and chaos, but on luck.
