Chapter 533 Five hundred years of waiting!
The surface of the lake was rippled, and the morning mist was drifting away. Apart from the sounds of birds, animals, insects and fish, it was extremely quiet. The three people beside the lake were silent.
The Master of Xuandu Temple didn’t know what he was thinking, but the two of them, Jian Jun, made a tacit agreement not to disturb him.
“Wow!”
Suddenly, there was movement on the water surface not far in front of Xuandu Temple Master, and a fish bit the hook.
He held the fishing rod, lifted it slightly, and lifted the fish.
When I got closer, I saw that this fish looked quite strange. It actually had a single horn on its head, and the scales on its body were not fish scales, but more like dragon scales.
Looking at the dragon fish flapping in the air, the master of Xuandu Temple smiled slightly.
“You are lucky.”
He pointed at the arowana, and the light flashed away. Then the body of the arowana became visibly longer, and four holes appeared on its abdomen. The bulge becomes more and more mysterious.
Then the master of Xuandu Temple put the dragon fish back into the lake and let it swim away.
"Okay, there is no need for such an expression." Xuandu Guanzhu said, lowered his head again, and continued to look at the roll of paper in his hand.
He has already read Zhou Qing’s message, followed by Qi Yunyuan’s message.
He just glanced at the four rolls of paper and didn't pay much attention to them.
This is the normal situation.
"Master, is there anything wrong with Zhou Qing?"
"There is nothing wrong with him, it's just that I thought of something."
Xuandu Temple Master handed back the book and scroll in his hand He gave Zhuge Tongda and said at the same time:
"Just take it Leave the matter of Hanyuan County to Zhou Qing, and leave the matters of Beihan County, Tongguhai County, Linxue County, and Zhaixingfeng to the other four people. You can decide how to arrange it specifically."
< br>Zhuge Tongda nodded, Xuanduguan delineated the scope, and he was responsible for the specific implementation, which has always been the case.
Only this time there was an exception like Zhou Qing, and the true biography assessment was directly designated by the Xuandu Temple Master.
Xuandu Temple Master stood up, turned around and looked into the distance, which was the direction of Shuiyue Peak.
He seemed to be able to see Shuiyuefeng directly from here, and see the person he wanted to see.
After a while, the master of Xuandu Temple said:
“You don’t need to think too much, there is nothing wrong with this young man.”
Zhuge Tongda asked: "Then how should we arrange him in the future?"
He is not stupid. The master of Xuandu Temple said that there is no problem, but the performance of this immortal just proves that there is a problem. He just doesn't want to be with him. Just talk to Jianjun.
"Just do what you just said, keep everything as usual, and vigorously cultivate." Xuandu Guanzhu emphasized:
"Don't treat him with the same attitude as you treat problem people. What should you do? Cultivation, just how to cultivate, understand?”
Zhuge Tongda thought about it for a while and understood what Master Xuandu meant.
"I understand."
It attracted the special attention of Xuandu Guanzhu, who even had the idea of seeing Zhou Qing, but specifically emphasized that he should not be regarded as a problem person...< br>
In this case, the only way is to cultivate it vigorously.
Since there is no problem with the people Xuandu Guanzhu pays attention to, there is no need to think too much about how to treat them.
“Well, let’s do it.”
Zhuge Tongda left, leaving only the master and the disciple.
Looking at his disciple, Master Xuandu smiled and said:
"Are you curious?"
"Yes." Sword Lord nodded, "Zhou Although Qing’s talent is good, Master, you shouldn’t pay special attention to him.”
“I think you seem to be concerned about his appearance... Have you ever seen anyone who looks like him?”
< br>
"That's not accurate."
Master Xuandu stepped off the stone and walked towards the wooden house, followed by Jian Jun.
"I have never seen such a person, but I have seen a portrait."
"Exactly the same."
The last four words made the sword master understand the mysterious Why does Du Guanzhu pay attention to Zhou Qing's appearance?
"Where did you see it?"
"Some time ago, I went to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
"I remember this, it was Emperor Sui's liaison."
"She not only contacted me, but also contacted Daoyou Wen, Daoyou Ji, and Daoyou Meng."
The Master of Xuandu Temple looked at the Sword Lord, "I once heard something. During the five hundred years since he ascended to immortality, Emperor Sui always looked at a painting and never allowed others to come into contact with it. No one had the opportunity to see it, and all the demons It is speculated that it may be a supreme immortal picture, or it may record the supreme secret.”
"Not long ago, I saw it. It was neither a weapon nor a treasure."
Jianjun understood what Xuandu Guanzhu meant. I saw it. Who did I see?
I met a disciple of Xuandu Temple.
Now think about it, this is really hell.
"Sui Di said that she once deduced the secret of heaven to find the person in the painting, but failed. Before contacting us, things took a turn for the better. She deduced again, but got vague clues. .”
Without further words, the Master of Xuandu Temple walked into the wooden house, but Jianjun did not follow him.
Sword Lord stood still, thoughts in his mind continued.
The portrait that Emperor Sui cherished, but it turned out that the person in the painting was exactly the same as a human clan leader who was more than 108,000 miles away from the mountains and seas?
Moreover, Emperor Sui held the painting for five hundred years, which was also deduced for five hundred years. This is such a long time, but in the end we came to such a result...
This sounds like It was bizarre to go up, almost inexplicable.
But Jianjun thought of Zhou Qing's life.
Twenty-two years of being ordinary and ordinary.
Then there was a change that was like waking up from a big dream and soaring to the sky...
This made Sword Lord have a guess in his mind.
What does this phenomenon mean?
The answer is ready to come out!
"Master, won't you inform Emperor Sui?"
The wooden house was silent, and after a long time, the voice of the Master of Xuandu was heard.
"Let's see..."
Jian Jun probably understood what his master meant and nodded.
It's time to take a look.
This mountainous lake is silent again.
Xuandu Temple Master did not tell Jianjun not to tell the matter, because he had already said this just now.
No need to repeat his request a second time, no one will violate it.
……
At Shuiyue Peak, Zhou Qing was practicing martial arts. His plan for the day was in the morning. The good time in the morning could not be wasted.
After he finished practicing, he saw Luo Liuli standing on the edge of the cliff.
The wind whistled, blowing Luo Liuli's robes loudly. Seeing Zhou Qing finish, she turned around and said:
"Your true biography assessment, the deputy auditor Bian has already sent someone to deliver it.”
Zhou Qing’s eyes lit up, “What is the mission?”
Luo Liuli handed over a jade slip and said:
"Only you can open this thing and view it. Anyone who receives his true biography assessment and finds signs that it has been opened can Go apply for a replacement assessment task.”
So she doesn’t know.
It was quite formal...
Zhou Qing took the jade slip, and sure enough, the seal on it was still there, but after coming into contact with Zhou Qing's mental power, it was naturally unlocked .
The spirit penetrated into it, Zhou Qing read it, and then frowned.
Seeing this, Luo Liuli asked: "Is the assessment task difficult?"
"This task is not difficult or not, but a very special one."
Zhou Qing said, giving the jade slip to Luo Liuli and letting her see it for herself.
“The Zhang family of Hanyuan County, I have never heard of this family before.”
The assessment task Xuanduguan gave to Zhou Qing was related to this family.
The jade slip said that there were some problems with the Zhang family in Hanyuan County, and Zhou Qing was asked to investigate. This was only the first step.
After the investigation was clear, Zhou Qing was asked to deal with the Zhang family based on the results found.
As for how to deal with it specifically and to what extent, Zhou Qing needs to make his own decision.
After the processing is completed, you can turn back to Xuandu Temple, and then Xuandu Temple will judge the results.
If you don't get to the point of dealing with the Zhang family, then the mission will naturally be a failure. At the same time, this mission also has a time limit.
One month, if it exceeds one month, the task will automatically be regarded as failed.
It is impossible to give a few years to conduct a true inheritance assessment, then it is useless to conduct an assessment.
Other than assigning a task target to Zhou Qing, this task has no other restrictions, and the degree of freedom is quite high.
No matter how he investigates or handles it, it is all up to him.
Of course, it would definitely not work to directly ask Luo Liuli to help, or it would not work to bring Luo Liuli's own earth artifact.
In the true inheritance assessment, the assessment is on the disciples themselves, not the forces behind them!
After the disciple receives the assessment task, the assessment supervision has already begun, so don’t try to take advantage of any loopholes.
As for where the supervision is...
What is the use of supervision that allows you to discover it? Examples in the history of Xuanduguan have proven more than once that trying to take advantage of loopholes at this time will only end up harming others and yourself.
So now everyone is very conscious.
Luo Liuli also finished reading the jade slips and said:
"I have never heard of the Zhang family in Hanyuan County. I guess it is not a big family."
She She rarely goes out, and if she knows that the family is definitely not weak.
"You can ask Qin Ming. He has been in charge of Xianke Peak for a period of time and knows a lot about these things."
Luo Liuli gave his own suggestions and put them into action directly, contacting him directly Qin Ming.
It is definitely not against the rules to understand the basic information of the Zhang family through some channels in advance.
The task requires him to investigate the problems existing in the Zhang family and deal with the Zhang family, rather than requiring him to collect basic information about the Zhang family.
It is impossible not to allow him to understand the mission object.
After he went to Hanyuan County, he had to take this step first.
Qin Ming soon arrived at Shuiyue Peak. After learning about Zhou Qing’s problem, he thought for a while and said:
“I do know about the Zhang family in Hanyuan County. Some.”
“Hanyuan County is also relatively close to the grassland. The territory is just a bit ordinary compared to a wealthy place like Beihan County."
"The strongest forces in this county are the two major families, namely the Han family and the Zhang family. Each has a true blood warrior named Han Tielin and Zhang Xinkong.”
"Both these two major families are considered to be forces attached to Xuandu Guan, and they pay tribute every year."
Attachment to Xuandu Guan is not just a verbal attachment, it means handing over resources to Xuandu Guan.
Of course, Xuandu Guan is also considered benevolent. The annual tributes collected from affiliated forces at all levels are not much, and they can generally afford it easily.
True blood forces like Han and Zhang will definitely not let them hand over their true blood resources.
And because of Hanzhou’s special geographical location, the overall strength of Hanzhou’s cultivation community is very strong.
It is bounded by 100,000 snow mountains and grasslands on the outside, and within it is the behemoth Xuandu Temple. In such a complicated situation, various inheritances intersect, and the resources of people, snow, and barbarians will appear in this territory, and from time to time they will interact with the barbarian and snow tribes. Playing against each other gives you plenty of opportunities to hone yourself.
It is difficult to imagine whether the forces in Hanzhou are strong or not. It is very normal for there to be Yinshen True Blood-level forces in a county.
The strength of Daqi states is not balanced to begin with.
The border is brave and brave, and the truth remains unchanged.
“I don’t know the other more detailed information. I’m afraid you won’t know more until you get to Hanyuan County.”
Speaking of this, Qin Ming suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, the daughter of the head of the Han family has been active in Guanzhong recently. You can go find her to find out the situation."
"After all, the Han and Zhang families have been living side by side for many years. , in terms of understanding, the Han family must know the Zhang family best."
Hearing this, Zhou Qing recalled the day when he first arrived at Xuandu Temple.
That day on the Fairy Peak, he seemed to have met four people. From the brief conversations he heard, how many of them seemed to be from the Han family?
Is it the same Han family?
Zhou Qing asked: "I wonder where those Han family guests are now?"
"They live in Xianke Peak. I don't know if they are there now."
< br>"I'll go take a look."
Zhou Qing made a decision, then prepared, said goodbye to Luo Liuli, and left Shuiyue Peak.
If nothing else happens, he will leave Xuanfa Mountains directly after meeting the Han family and go to Hanyuan County.
The real test was given to him, and it was said that it would be within three days, but the results came the next day.
Xuan Du Guan is so efficient, so he doesn’t want to waste time.
Go early and come back early.
Qin Ming sent him to Cyclone Peak. Now Zhou Qing does not have his own private "plane".
"Be careful when you go to Hanyuan County." Qin Ming warned:
"The true inheritance assessment is not easy, strength is the most basic requirement, but after all, this is to do things outside Xuandu Temple, no one knows Will there be any accidents during this period? Don’t be careless.”
There have always been many disciples who encountered accidents during the True Inheritance Assessment.
Those with better luck may come back alive after failing the assessment once.
For those who are less lucky, just leave your life to others, such as Jiangbei’s fiancée.
Xuandu Temple's true inheritance assessment tasks are generally very complicated.
It doesn’t mean that you are in the viscera realm, just arrange for you to have an opponent in the viscera realm, just rush in and kill him, that’s it.
If this is the case, why would you arrange for disciples to go out to Xuandu Monastery? The qualification test is not just in this form, so why bother with it.
Every assessment task is basically a complex event, which requires disciples to use their abilities in all aspects and start from one place to solve the whole thing.
Although it is difficult for Xuandu Guanhui to control events, after all, this is a real world, and any accident may happen.
What if your mission target suddenly worships a master, or has some powerful relatives come to visit?
So even disciples in the viscera realm may encounter the marrow- manifesting marrow realm in the true inheritance assessment.
Not only the gap in strength, but also information, environment, luck, etc. will have an impact.
Sometimes if you encounter an opponent in the assessment that you cannot defeat with your own strength, then you need wisdom.
Use your strength to fight, or use a plan to ambush.
Therefore, every assessment task is not simple. The disciples who can pass the assessment are outstanding in themselves and not only in terms of combat prowess.
Xuan Du Guan really carefully selects and trains the true disciples.
Talent and strength are the threshold, but the requirements are more than that.
This is why Zhou Qing is very strong, but he does not dare to say in advance that he can 100% pass the true test like a qualification test.
What if your luck is extremely bad and you encounter a large-scale invasion by barbarians?
If there is a large-scale invasion by the barbarians, let alone Zhou Qing, all the first-rate forces will be prepared to prepare.
With Qin Ming’s advice and experience, Cyclone Peak arrived.
With the former leader Qin Ming here, it was very convenient to do things at Cyclone Peak, so he went directly to tell the Han family where they were.
But at this point, Qin Ming left and no longer participated in subsequent matters.
From the moment Zhou Qing came into contact with the Han family, the assessment had officially begun, and Qin Ming should avoid it.
There are three people from the Han family. Zhou Qing is lucky, they are all at Cyclone Peak now.
Arrived outside the palace where the Han family lived, Zhou Qing pressed something that worked like a doorbell.
Soon the door opened, and the people inside blurted out two words after seeing Zhou Qing.
“It’s you!”
Zhou Qing nodded with a smile and said:
"This girl, we meet again."
The people he met by chance on Xianke Peak were indeed descendants of the Han family in Hanyuan County.
The other two teenagers also came to the door and were a little surprised when they saw Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing took it for granted.
The matter of the True Inheritance Qualification Test has long been spread throughout the 108 Inner and Outer Peaks. They were observing activities in Xuandu and coming into contact with people, so it was inevitable that they would get this news.
He is also a famous person now.
But when Zhou Qing looked at the three people of the Han family at this moment, he felt that they seemed much more haggard.
“I’ve met Senior Brother Zhou.”
The Han family woman bowed Yingying and introduced the three of them.
Han Shanshan, the daughter of the head of the Han family.
Han Xingrong and Han Xingshang, two talented disciples of the Han family.
"Shuiyue Peak Zhou Qing."
"I wonder what happened to Senior Brother Zhou?" Han Shanshan asked, inviting Zhou Qing in to talk.
“I plan to go to Hanyuan County, but I am new here and don’t know much about the situation there.” Zhou Qing said directly:
“I just heard that Miss Han, you are visiting Xuandu. , so I took the liberty to come and disturb you.”
When Han Shanshan heard this, she was thoughtful. She probably knew that Zhou Qing's visit to Hanyuan County might be related to the true inheritance assessment.
This is not difficult to guess, after all, the qualification test has just ended.
In fact, only the disciples pass the qualification test every month, so where they appear after leaving Xuandu Temple, and after being discovered, those who understand that these disciples are basically here to conduct the true test.
There are too many people and forces in Hanzhou who pay attention to Xuandu Temple, so this information is considered semi-public.
It doesn’t matter if someone finds out that they are conducting a true biography assessment, as long as the specific task content is not exposed.
Even if the mission content is exposed, there will be no problem.
Because isn’t this another way to test disciples?
"Don't worry, Miss Han, I will trade some information about Hanyuan County with you, and I will not pry into the secrets of the Han family."
The implication is that I am not prostituted in vain, I will give you money.
“There are no secrets in Hanyuan County. If what I know can help Senior Brother Zhou, that would be the best.”
Han Shanshan did not reject Zhou Qing, the genius who was famous in Xuandu. Being able to make friends with such a level of Xuandu true disciple would also be of great benefit to the Han family.
“I wonder what Senior Brother Zhou wants to know?”
“First tell me if there are any special places in Hanyuan County, and then tell me about Hanyuan. I have learned about the situation of all forces in the county, from the county town to the lower counties. I want to know more."
"Finally, I would like to know if anything strange has happened in Hanyuan County recently."
Three questions, Han Shanshan sorted out her thoughts. Tell everything you know without hiding anything.
Gradually, Zhou Qing also had a specific impression of Hanyuan County.
