Chapter 544 Well done!
It is towering and continuous, vast and misty.
The Xuanfa Mountains appeared in front of Zhou Qing again.
It was already night at this time, but the Xuanfa Mountains were even more dazzling, with little rays of light and colorful colors, like a fairyland.
He went to ambush Zhang Xingong early in the morning, then returned to Hanyuan City to destroy the Zhang family, and finally hurried slowly, and finally returned to Xuandu Temple after nightfall.
Among them, flying instruments played an important role.
Han Tielin handed the Han family's best Aurora flying boat to his daughter, and it flew very fast on the way back.
After getting off the flying magic weapon, Zhou Qing and Han Shanshan walked into the mountains, and then they parted ways.
"Miss Han, I will come back to you after I finish my work here."
"Senior Brother Zhou, your matter is important, don't worry about me."
Han Shanshan still wants to go to Xianke Peak, while Zhou Qing wants to go to Merit Hall.
The true biography assessment is also one of the tasks of Xuandu. This aspect is the responsibility of Gongde Hall. This is a very large department among the halls of Xuandu that is closely related to the disciples.
Because of this, the Hall of Merit is located outside the Xuanfa Mountains, very close to the 108 inner and outer peaks, which greatly facilitates the disciples to take on sect tasks.
It is also convenient for Zhou Qing. After all, he has no crane to ride on now and can only walk on two legs. If the distance is far, it will be more troublesome.
Soon, Gongde Peak was in sight.
Ancient stone paths extend from all directions, finally converging at the foot of Gongde Peak.
After approaching Gongde Peak, I met more Xuandu disciples.
There is an endless stream of outer disciples in black and inner disciples in white.
Xuandu Temple has rules. Within the mountain gate, disciples of the outer sect and inner sect must wear corresponding Xuandu uniforms unless they are in their own rooms or in some special places.
The same is true for business disciples and deacons.
Only true disciples and elders and above have high-level officials. Although they also have robes, wearing them or not is optional and there are no restrictions.
So when you meet other people in the Xuanfa Mountains, you can roughly know their status by looking at their clothes.
Zhou Qing is also wearing inner white clothes now, but wherever he goes, people keep looking at him.
“I think I’ve seen this person before?”
“He looks a little familiar.”
"Zhou, Zhou Qing?!"
Someone recognized Zhou Qing, and then like a chain reaction, low voices continued to sound, and many people stared at him intently.
Qualification test, first in fault, Shuiyue Zhouqing!
In the past few days after leaving Xuandu Temple, Zhou Qing was not only not forgotten, but his reputation was further spread.
Now, except for a very small number of disciples who are not in Xuandu Temple and have been in seclusion for a long time, no one in the inner and outer sects does not know Zhou Qing.
Even though it was nighttime, Zhou Qing's dazzling style was still discovered.
"Senior Brother Zhou, are you going to the Hall of Merit to hand in a mission?" Someone had the courage to talk to Zhou Qing.
"I am very familiar with Merit Peak, why don't you let me lead the way for Senior Brother Zhou?"
Although Zhou Qing has only been a beginner for a few days and is not familiar with these inner disciples, the path of cultivation is , those who achieve first come first.
He is about to be promoted to true successor. These disciples call him senior brother, that is what they should do.
However, Zhou Qing declined this kindness with a smile, and then went up to the Merit Peak alone, leaving only the disciples watching behind him.
"Senior Brother Zhou left the sect for a few days, and now he is back. Has he completed the true inheritance assessment?"
"I'm afraid so, this is really efficient."< br>
"Senior Brother Zhou is indeed the most outstanding disciple of this generation!"
"..."
Words of praise kept ringing out.
They don't have much interaction with Zhou Qing, and they don't know what kind of person Zhou Qing is, but it doesn't prevent them from admiring and reverencing him.
Most people have the desire to be strong.
Gongde Peak is not particularly tall, not as good as Xianke Peak, but it has a different scene.
After Zhou Qing went up the mountain, he went straight to the peak.
There is not only one Merit Hall, but three. The First Merit Hall is some way up the foot of the mountain, the Second Merit Hall is on the mountainside, and the Third Merit Hall is at the top of the mountain.
The functions of each merit hall are similar. The biggest difference is the different levels of various tasks in the three merit halls.
The higher you go, the higher the task level and the more dangerous it becomes.
There is no requirement for the level of the disciples in these three merit halls. Outer disciples can also go to the third merit hall. If they feel strong, they can also accept tasks there.
I heard that the reason why three merit halls were built was because there were too many disciples in Xuandu. One merit hall would be too crowded.
It's a vegetable market.
What Zhou Qing is going to now is the Third Hall of Merit.
After arriving at the destination, Zhou Qing went directly to the deacon of Gongde Hall to explain his purpose.
"Inner disciple Zhou Qing has completed the true inheritance assessment."
The deacon opposite him in the Holy Realm was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly:
"Please wait a moment. The elders are responsible for the true inheritance assessment. I will contact the elders right away."
Zhou Qing nodded, and then waited quietly.
The Hall of Merit is very empty. A counter cuts off two spaces. There are pieces of jade slips hanging on the surrounding walls. There are disciples wandering around, checking the information on the jade slips from time to time.
This is a mission jade slip, which records each task. Whichever one the disciple wants to do, he can just take off the jade slip and come to the deacon to register.
Behind the counter, behind the deacon, there are also pieces of mission jade slips, but the tasks recorded in these jade slips will be special, and if you want to receive them, there will be certain requirements.
The disciples who were choosing tasks also looked at Zhou Qing at this moment. It was very quiet here, so what Zhou Qing just said was naturally known to everyone.
Zhou Qing, completed the true inheritance assessment...
This shocked the hearts of many people. It seems that Xuandu will have another true disciple, and he is also a genius with such fierce momentum. .
Zhou Qing didn't have to wait long, and soon an old man strode in with strong steps and no appearance of age.
"Shuiyue Peak Zhou Qing?"
"I have met the elder. I am Zhou Qing."
The old man nodded, then turned and walked towards a corner of the Hall of Merit, where there was a door.
"You come with me."
The two entered the door. There were passages behind the door. The old man chose one and finally led Zhou Qing into a quiet room.
After sitting down, the old man introduced himself:
"My surname is Jiang, the elder on duty at the Gongde Hall."
Then Elder Jiang pointed to the corner of the room, where there was a cube of wood about the same size as a Rubik's Cube. On the side facing them, there were inlaid With one eye pupil.
"Eye of Recording, everything we say next will be recorded for the palace master and others to review."
Very formal and solemn.
Elder Jiang took out another booklet, a pen and paper, looked at Zhou Qing, and asked:
"Your true biography assessment is to investigate the Zhang family's problems in Hanyuan County, and deal with the Zhang family after the investigation results are obtained."
Zhou Qing nodded, "Yes."
"You can Tell me the results of your investigation and how to deal with the Zhang family.”
Zhou cleared his mind and then said:
"After I arrived in Hanyuan County, after my careful investigation, I found that the Zhang family colluded with the barbarians, plundered the human race everywhere, and treated the human race as Goods are traded with the barbarians every month.”
Elder Jiang was lowering his head to record, but after hearing Zhou Qing's words, the tip of his pen paused.
“Buying and selling humans?”
He asked with anger in his voice.
“Yes, I intercepted a transaction of the Zhang family, and the evidence was conclusive.”
Zhou Qing took out the space bag that can hold a living person. It's called the Hidden Spirit Bag, he already knew.
Zhou Qing did not release the thousand humans in the spirit bag.
They will be in stasis inside and will be fine.
If they were released in advance, it would be a big trouble to accommodate these thousand people, and it would be very simple to hand them over to Xuanduguan and let the sect arrange them.
“Here are the humans that the Zhang family has recently kidnapped and prepared to trade with the barbarians.”
Although the spirit bag has been handed over as evidence now, after everything is over, this The treasure will still be returned to Zhou Qing.
It is a well-known rule that all gains gained from the true inheritance assessment belong to the disciple himself.
Elder Jiang looked at the spirit bag and looked a little colder.
"You continue."
"After determining the problems existing in the Zhang family, I..."
Zhou Qing explained the follow-up matters clearly, and then Take out the souls of all the senior Zhang family members that you suppressed.
Why did he bother to bring these souls back?
Because these are all evidence.
Otherwise, one by one, he would have fed them all to the Soul-Swallowing Flower.
After Zhou Qing finished speaking, Elder Jiang stopped writing and nodded.
"I will hand over your mission experience and results to the palace masters, and the assessment and evaluation will be announced at a selected date." "You try to stay in Shuiyue Peak these days and don't go out. You can do it as soon as possible. Get Notified ”
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, Elder Jiang."
"It's our job, so why bother." Elder Jiang stood up, and Zhou Qing was about to leave.
The old man looked at Zhou Qing and suddenly said:
“Well done.”
Zhou Qing was startled, then laughed.
“This is also the responsibility of every human race.”
Elder Jiang sent Zhou Qing out, then took off the recording eye on the wooden cube and replaced it Got a new one.
He took the booklet and the Eye of Record and left directly to find the master of the Hall of Merit.
Zhou Qing went down to Merit Peak and thought to himself.
"Looking at Elder Jiang's reaction, he probably didn't know about the Zhang family's problems beforehand, but he didn't know what was going on at the top of Xuanduguan."
"The next step is to wait for the evaluation results of those big shots... ”
Every disciple has such a process after returning from the true inheritance assessment.
Just because you come back successfully does not mean you have completed the mission.
Xuan Du Guan’s senior management will also evaluate your performance in the mission, if some of your performance in the mission is too outrageous.
For example, if you show a tendency to gravitate to other races or engage in cheating, there will be a question mark as to whether you can pass the assessment.
Sometimes, the senior officials of Xuandu will summon disciples to conduct some questions and answers face to face.
The assessment of true disciples is strict and formal in all aspects.
However, Zhou Qing is not too worried about this step. He feels that his performance in the Zhang family's mission this time can be said to be perfect.
A hundred faints!
He walked back to Shuiyue Peak, and the wonderful sight of the moon on the ground and the tilt of the Milky Way appeared in front of him again.
No matter how many times you see it, this scenery is amazing and admirable.
When Zhou Qing set foot on Shuiyue Peak, Luo Liuli in the alchemy room in the mountain opened his eyes and said softly:
"Back."
"What? Back?”
Another voice sounded, it was An Lang who was sitting next to the alchemy furnace.
That’s right, Zhou Qing did not take An Lang with him for the true inheritance assessment this time.
It’s not that ghosts and spirit beasts are not allowed in Xuandu Temple, but An Lang and Zhou Qing can’t help much if they go together.
So Zhou Qing chose to let her stay at Shuiyue Peak and study more with Luo Liuli.
Luo Liuli replied: "Zhou Qing."
An Lang exclaimed, and then the flames in the alchemy furnace flickered and threatened to get out of control. She quickly stabilized herself and concentrated on refining the alchemy.
Luo Liuli walked out and happened to see Zhou Qing going up the mountain.
She asked: "Is the mission completed?"
Zhou Qing smiled and nodded, "Good luck."
"Very efficient." Luo Liuli nodded slightly, "As far as I know, among the five disciples who took the true inheritance assessment this time, you are the first to come back."
"Completing the task earlier will make it easier, so I speeded up and didn't delay."
When Zhou Qing said this, he sighed in his heart.
According to common sense, if you conduct the true inheritance assessment in your capacity, you should be the last one to come back.
Qi Yunyuan and the others are back, but there is no trace of him for a long time. Even the mission time limit is almost over and he has not returned.
This will cause some people to worry, and some people to ridicule, thinking that he must have died during the assessment and will never come back.
Waiting for the last moment, he would come back, appear at a certain point, and slap those who thought he would never come back in the face.
In this novel, the protagonists are all like this.
But why is he so fast?
Oh, it turned out to be cheating.
Zhou Qing walked to Luo Liuli and told her about his mission experience.
The mission is over, so naturally these things no longer need to be kept secret.
After hearing that the Zhang family’s hidden problems were so bad, even with Luo Liuli’s temper, he couldn’t help but frown.
Finally, Luo Liuli nodded and said affirmatively:
"Your handling method is very good. There is no need to show mercy to such traitorous people."
No one will sympathize with the Zhang family after hearing about the evil deeds committed by the Zhang family.
Why, are you also a human being but a barbarian at heart, a barbarian in spirit?
Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment, then asked:
"I have a doubt. Like these true inheritance assessment tasks, does Xuanduguan know the whole story in advance? The Zhang family's question, Did Xuanduguan know this before he sent me?"
Luo Liuli glanced at Zhou Qing and understood Zhou Qing's inner struggle.
She shook her head, "Of course Guanzhong didn't know about it beforehand."
"Whether it is a true inheritance assessment task or an ordinary task assigned to disciples on weekdays, if it is a task like you that needs to investigate something first, then Guanzhong will not know what the truth of the problem is."
< br>"This kind of task is when Xuanduguan detects that there may be problems in some things from various channels, and then gives it to the disciples in the form of tasks for them to pursue. Find out the truth and report back in the end."
"If the task of investigating the Zhang family is not given to you, nor to the other four disciples this time, then Xuanduguan will send someone else to handle it. I won’t turn a blind eye.”
“Xuandu Guan has never tolerated things like colluding with barbarians.”
Hearing this, Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
After he learned the truth about the Zhang family, he worried that Xuanduguan might have known all this for a long time, but chose to ignore it just to train his disciples.
There is nothing wrong with training your disciples.
But if you turn a blind eye to the fact that thousands of humans are trafficked to the barbarians every month just because you want to train your disciples, then what it represents is terrible.
It means that Xuandu Temple may... have a problem.
But if you think about it carefully, Xuandu has observed the Taoism for thousands of years, and there is no need to do this.
Moreover, Xuandu disciples serve Xuandu Guan. For things like this, Xuandu Guan finds clues to the problem, and it is normal for the disciples to run around and solve Xuandu Guan's worries.
If Xuanduguan itself knows what the problem is and sends disciples to investigate, then it is not just taking off your pants and farting. It is a pure waste of human resources.
No need, indeed no need.
In this way, the affairs of the Zhang family will be clear.
Xuan Du Guan must have noticed from some channel that the Zhang family might have some connection with the barbarians, but he didn’t know what the Zhang family was doing.
It happened that Zhou Qing and the others needed to conduct a true biography assessment, so they regarded this matter as a task and threw it to Zhou Qing.
Luo Liuli looked at Zhou Qing and continued:
"It's good that you can think about this. Xuandu Guan has been passed down for a long time, and sometimes it may not make mistakes."< br>
"When the time comes, by thinking like you, you may be able to detect some problems, and you must dare to point them out."
Zhou Qing smiled sheepishly, "I was just thinking about it. .”
"By the way, I have two things here related to alchemy, which are very interesting."
As Zhou Qing said, he took out the elixir book and the elixir flower, and explained the functions of these two things. .
Luo Liuli's eyes brightened after hearing this. He took the two items and felt them carefully.
"Yan Dan Book... This treasure is somewhat similar to the Shennong Jade Book."
"The Shennong Jade Book?"
Zhou Qing was slightly shocked. Hearing what Luo Liuli said, is there any treasure in this world that has similar effects to the Yan Dan Book?
Luo Liuliu nodded and explained:
"That is the treasure of Shennong Valley in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It is not an immortal weapon, but for an alchemist, its effect is better than that of an immortal weapon. Automatically derive elixir recipes, but there are limitations. ”
"Shennong Valley is the force with the most profound attainments in alchemy in the world today. Everyone from top to bottom respects alchemy, and its status in the world of practice is very special."
"In this era, the recognized second alchemist Just in Shennong Valley.”
"...The second alchemist?"
Zhou Qing was a little confused. The force with the most profound attainments in alchemy didn't have the first alchemist among them?
Luo Liuli replied: "The first alchemist is Zixiao Tianjun. This Tianjun's alchemy skills are extremely amazing and unparalleled in the world."
That's it, I understand.
He is a master of immortality and is said to be the number one alchemist, so how can he have any objections to Shennong Valley?
But this world is really mysterious, the Shen Nong Jade Book...
Luo Liuli looked at Danhua again, her eyes brightening a bit.
Shennong’s Jade Book contains pearls and jade, so although she is also interested in Yan Dan Book, she can still remain indifferent, but the effect of this elixir flower is very magical.
She has lived for so many years, and has even gone to Shennong Valley more than once to communicate with the alchemy masters there, but this is the first time she has heard of this kind of elixir.
I want it...
Luo Liuli moved her eyes to Zhou Qing. Before she could speak, Zhou Qing said with a smile:
"These two strange objects are like pearls cast in the dark to me, so I want to Give it to you in return for taking care of me these days."
Luo Liuli shook his head, "This is what I should do, so why repay."
"That's not repaying the kindness, it's just that I simply want to give it to you."
It’s really hard to give gifts these days.
