Chapter 18 turning a dragon into a phoenix, maybe within a hundred years
Bai Xizhi is a high-level monster. Similarly, he is also a little old man who bends his back and has a white beard to mop the ground. After shocking the middle people, he talks to himself in a humorous and even broken tone, but his words with a knife and sword, but he has never hurt anyone.
Because he has an agreement with Zhang Yan, an agreement between a person and a demon.
The agreement is very simple. Seven days later, Zhang Yan helped his grandson a white wolf that was about to turn into a disaster.
As for why he chose Zhang Yan and why he made a decision that made Zhang Yan feel careless, Bai Xizhi did not say that Zhang Yan was neither a demon nor a fairy. When he was able to break the heavenly way, he was still a person. He did not understand the thought of an old monster who had lived for thousands of years, which was inevitable.
He promised a request that could save everyone and his own lives. He was as stubborn as Zhang Yan and readily agreed.
Two birds with one stone, why not?
At this time, Zhang Yan, the opening day of Zhang's leather goods, was also the time when the atmosphere on the second floor was unpredictable. There was no reason to think of Bai Xizhi.
He promised that Bai Xizhi's matter would be solved in six days. Similarly, he also had a plan to search the monsters in the White Wolf Canyon again. Searching for monster leather goods is to settle Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Yongtai, that's all.
Then, leave.
Leave the cold building city, set foot on the vast road of heaven alone, and do something that you can't forget in your heart.
Naturally, no matter how fiercely Hou Jingqi and Xiao Changfeng quarreled at this time, and how firm Zhang Yan's desire to join his sect was, Zhang Yan would not agree.
If he didn't agree, he offended two of the three serious sects in Hanlou City at the same time, which was very difficult.
Zhang Yan was in a dilemma, so he was silently right and didn't say a word.
"Why don't we listen to Zhang Daoyou's thoughts first?"
After all, Qi Wanbei still stood up bravely. He couldn't watch Hou Jingqi and Xiao Changfeng fight each other like a shrew. He really didn't dare. Imagine that if the two of them knew that today's ugly state fell into the eyes of others in the future, I'm afraid there would be resentment in his heart, and his situation in Wanbei would be in danger... P>
Hou and Xiao shut up when they heard the sound.
A little stunned, they sorted out their clothes and crowns. Although they still stared angrily, their hearts were awe-inspiring. Yes, why did they forget this tie? Before Zhang Yan opened his mouth, the two of them quarreled loudly. This appearance was seen by outsiders...
Wu Cangye and Li Shui Chan were relieved to see that they stopped arguing. Qi Wanbei felt bitter in his heart. Hou and Xiao listened to his words and seemed to see his worries. At this moment, they were staring at him fiercely.
Hou and Xiao stared at Qi Wanbei, expressed the intention of coercion and warning, and then brushed their eyes on Zhang Yan.
Hou Jingqi's eyes were still aggressive, and Xiao Changfeng did not give in at all.
In his heart, Zhang Yan knew that it was time to make a choice.
If you are careless, although you will not lose all the market, it will be very bad if it affects others, such as Zhang Yongtai and his wife, such as this Zhang's leather goods shop...
After all, Hanlou City is their territory. Zhang Yan is not a strong dragon, and he dares not suppress the snake. But in the current situation, it seems that my food has become a disaster that offends people.
What will happen if a stubborn and patient person is on the verge of adversity? Or is it soft and strong as good as water?
Neither.
should be attacked by eight winds, fearless, passively beaten, but it is necessary to adapt to changes.
Hou Jing's face was expressionless, but this was already his best attitude. He brewed for a moment and said, "Promise me that I won't investigate anything about the past."
Xiao Changfeng waved the feather fan in his hand and smiled, "If Zhang Daoyou joins my Yujingzong, in addition to the position of elder, Xiao has also prepared a hundred-foot palace to serve 300 disciples, a handful of top-grade spiritual weapons, and countless elixirs and spiritual stones as salaries every month. Even Taoist friends can propose a condition that Xiao can agree. Of course, this condition must be within Xiao's ability. I hope Dao will be friendly and consider it.
After a pause, Xiao Changfeng glanced at Hou Jing and said coldly, "Taoist friends don't have to worry about the coercion and intimidation of others. If Taoist friends join my Yujingzong, they are the people of my Yujingzong. If you are enemies, they are my Yujingzong!"
One has a tough attitude and the other is gentle. In contrast, it is like mud.
Even in Qi Wanbei's eyes, Yujingzong is a better choice. It not only ranks second in the third and one higher than Bai Hongzong. The key is that his attitude is good.
In the face of such a situation, Zhang Yan said decisively without thinking, "Thank you for your kindness. There is no blessing in my hometown." The tone is calm and the attitude is tebulent.
This answer was unexpected and stunned. Qi Wanbei quickly whispered, "My nephew, you have offended both families. Think about it again and follow my opinion..."
Zhang Yan interrupted him and said, "I have made up my mind. My uncle don't need to persuade me."
Everyone saw that even if he persuaded again, Zhang Yan would not change his words.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely silent and depressing.
No one asked why, but they all stared at Zhang Yan and waited for him to give an appropriate statement. After all, he refused so simply that he slapped Hou and Xiao fiercely in the face. The two of them quarreled for a long time with the dignity of the suzerain, but in exchange for such a result, everyone was furious.
Live up to expectations, or can't stand the pressure of everyone's eyes. Zhang Yan thought a little and proposed a compromise method. "I won't join any of them. The reason will be known later, but Zhang Yan is not a person who doesn't know how to repay Li. I can promise the two suzerains. If you need me, Zhang Yan to refine his position with the method of virtual array. Whatever I can do, I will promise to take one month as the deadline.
Xiao Changfeng and Hou Jingqi looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Yan answered like this, which calmed their faces so that there would be no steps to go down.
Thinking for a little, they had to accept this condition, so they readily agreed.
Why? Is this boy an array mage or an array mage who can refine the virtual array? Who dares to completely offend him? What if one family invests in Miluozong?
They won't do anything empty in the bamboo basket. It's a good idea to plan carefully.
At the same time, Hou and Xiao promised that this leather goods store will be the object of his joint care and protection in the future, and will never cause trouble here.
This is what Zhang Yan wants. Of course, he will not be so generous and generous for Hou and Xiao. The reason why they promise so much is that they are afraid of being interrupted by others and sharing resources.
But no matter what, this is an answer that satisfies both sides.
Of course, Zhang Yan also needs to be paid to help them refine materials by the method of virtual array. Naturally, the two cases are rich and will not ignore this point. As for the price, it depends on the situation.
Hou and Xiao left one after another and hurried back to the sect.
Wu Cangye and Li Shuixuan were left by Hou and Xiao, saying that they would protect Zhang's leather goods and serve as bodyguards. The real purpose is self-evident to prevent others from coming to the tiger's mouth to seize food...
Qi Wanbei replaced Zhang Yan and sent the two suzerains who had to be looked up to outside the store. Seeing them disappear, he sighed and turned around. He was not in a hurry to enter the store, but stood under a horizontal plaque engraved with the six characters of Zhang's leather goods.
Looking up at the plaque, he looked complicated and said to himself: If the golden scales are dehydrated, they will shake up and turn into dragons into phoenixes. This boy has a boundless future!
......
In the evening, there was heavy snow in the cold building city again, and the cold wind no longer roared, making the whole cold building city quiet and ethereal.
Zhang's leather goods shop, on the third floor, a secret room that is not open to the public.
Zhang Yan looked at a pile of various materials in front of him with a wry smile. The bodies of unanatomized monsters accounted for a lot, most of which were at the level of six-level monsters. Others, such as medicinal materials, ores, and semi-finished magic weapons, were all kinds of. These were all sent by Hou Jingqi and Xiao Changfeng's disciples after they left. Naturally, they let Zhang Yan refine them with the method of virtual array.
Li Shuizhen, an intermediate array mage, sat cross-legged opposite him and looked at Zhang Yan with an eager face. There was no trace of unpleasantness of being left here as a gatekeeper by Xiao Changfeng. On the contrary, he was very happy to watch Zhang Yan refine materials with the method of virtual array. For him, a maniac of array, it is really a great happiness in life. How can you be unhappy?
What is unhappy is Wu Cangye. He sat in the corner of the lobby on the first floor with a calm yellow face and knocked on the table with his fingers. With him, Zhang's leather goods shop was not worried about being disturbed by some ruffian hooligans.
Of course, there is another unexpected benefit. The monk who entered the shop to buy leather goods saw that the elder in the later period of Bai Hongzong actually served as a gatekeeper here. How dare he pretend that I have a spiritual stone and I am an uncle? They did not dare, but respectfully and quietly discussed the price of animal skin with Zhang Yongtai and his wife. When bargaining is carried out in a respectful manner, it is no longer called bargaining. Naturally, Zhang Yongtai and his wife's income is very rich, much like a monopoly.
Monks and buyers don't feel the loss. It's a joke. Elder Bai Hongzong is sitting here. This is the signboard. These leather goods must be of good quality! They have no reason to believe.
So, people, it's strange that the more authoritative things are, no matter how high the price is, they are willing to be slaughtered by sellers. Of course, Zhang Yongtai and his wife still have professional ethics, and they did not raise prices as Qi Jingchun said. This also won more good reputation, and the reputation of Zhang's leather goods shop soon became popular in the whole cold building city.
This is a later story, let's not mention it.
"Can't you solve the thing in front of you with a solid array?" Zhang Yan stared at the materials on the ground for a long time and suddenly asked Li Shui Chan.
The reason why he did not avoid Li Shuizhen is also an attempt to get some insights and knowledge about arrays from his mouth. After all, he is an intermediate array mage with a specialty, which is naturally more than his level. Of course, this refers to the knowledge of arrays, not the way of cultivation.
The way of cultivation, Zhang Yan has long begun to embark on a path of his own and does not need other people's guidance at all. It's enough to have the array of jades given by Master Zeng.
