Taihao Gold Medal

Gong Ziyuan of Kunyuan Mountain only lived in Huangshan Zhang's house for seven days, and then left due to business.

But the prestige she brought to the Zhang family in Huangshan was far beyond the efforts of several generations of the Zhang family.

At the same time, Zhang Xiangshen, the head of the Zhang family, and Zhang Yuanlie, the Danyang Sword Master, have a reasonable explanation for their strength. It is rumored that these two people have been taught by Kun Yuanshan Sword Cultivator, so they can ascend to the sky and become masters.

A few months later, on an auspicious day, brothers and sisters Zhang Chu and Zhang Su in Lingyu Mountain came to pay homage to their masters.

The whole teacher apprenticeship ceremony was extremely grand, their father Zhang Yiling had spirit stones, and both parties needed a guarantee from each other, so they invited relatives, friends, and colleagues to attend the teacher apprenticeship banquet, and kowtowed in public to serve tea.

Before Zhang Lie accepted the four disciples, he did not take such a form, but in fact these are necessary. The reason why Zhang Lie did not do this before was because the first four disciples of Zhang Lie were too special:

The eldest disciple, Xie Wuniang, had an extreme temperament and forced her to die. In addition, Zhang Lie happened to understand the Xie family's exercises at that time, so he accepted this disciple in private. If you want to recognize me as a master, you can recognize me. It doesn't matter, anyway, you didn't teach your true orthodoxy at that time, and what you taught were just some exercises of Xiejiabenjia.

The second disciple, Yun Mengyao, was born as a Qiling, and his only family member is Zhang Lie, so there are no conditions for inviting relatives, friends, and colleagues to the scene.

The third disciple, Shangguan Heng, was the prisoner of the Shangguan family. His whole family was mining in the mine, and their property was confiscated.

The fourth disciple, Zhu Yuxin, was born as a demon cultivator, so he didn't know many people at all. Even if he knew a human monk, he might be an enemy rather than a fellow.

"Tsk tsk, this apprenticeship gift list is really rich. Zhang Yiling will give someone a lifetime of refining weapons. This time, I am afraid that he will directly take out nearly half of his family property."

"Yuxin, after a while, we will meet as brothers and sisters. You are going to present a gift, have you prepared?"

Yun Mengyao, who was dressed in white and had silver hair, was holding the gift slip, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the gifts on it.

Although she was ordered by Zhang Lie to think about her mistakes, she was let out and presided over the formal apprenticeship of the fifth and sixth elders.

At the same time, let her relax, don't really hold back.

"Oh, I cut off two bamboo branches from the main body to make two third-order flying swords. Senior sister, is this a meeting gift?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuxin took out two aura-filled wooden bamboo shadow flying swords and asked.

"...It's convenient for you."

Zhu Yuxin itself is a top-level fifth-level demon who has cultivated for thousands of years. She has a profound background, and she took down two bamboo branches to make a third-level flying sword.

Zhang Yiling spent the first half of his life cultivating Taoism as a child of old age. Zhang Chu and Zhang Su are only in the realm of Qi training now. The wooden flying bamboo shadow flying sword is not strong in attacking and killing among flying swords of the same level, but it has spirituality, regulates qi veins, and has the power to calm the mind and refresh the mind. .

They are warming up now, which has the effect of clearing the mind and calming the mind to assist in cultivation.

In the next hundred years, if you advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm, you will immediately get a flying sword with a shared heart, and then you can add fine gold and other materials to the flying sword to strengthen its tenacity and killing power.

What Yun Mengyao prepared was some high-grade pills to assist in cultivation. She thought that Zhang Yiling himself was a rare master of refining weapons in the southern wilderness. Even if he sent magic tools, it would be difficult to go beyond his vision. On the contrary, those low-level elixir that the master practiced in the early years are of excellent quality, safe to take, and also a must-have for monks.

Zhang Yiling has been refining weapons all his life, and has accumulated tens of millions of wealth. Various cultivation resources have already been packed into dozens of storage bags, leaving them to Zhang Chu and Zhang Su.

If he hadn't found a way out in advance, after his own life, these belongings would definitely bring disasters to his children, but after Zhang Chu and Zhang Su became apprentices to Master Zhang, these were all helpful in practice. You have to think about whether your neck is strong enough to stop the sharpness of Zhang Zhenren's flying sword.

Yun Mengyao took the fourth junior brother to check all the preparations for the apprentice banquet, and then met the third junior brother Shangguan Heng.

In addition to Xie Wuniang, Zhang Lie's disciples in Huangshan each have their own duties. Yun Mengyao likes to manage the family's finances because of his temperament, Zhu Yuxin has a simple temperament and is responsible for guarding the mountain. Shangguan Heng's main power It is to manage the prisoner miners and capture Jiexiu at the same time.

In this way, on the one hand, he cannot intervene in the affairs of the Zhang family, and his power is limited and on the periphery; on the other hand, he can be allowed to relatively take care of the children of the Shangguan family.

People do not suffer from scarcity but inequality. There are Shangguans. There are more than 7000 people in the Shangguan family. Although they are criminals, they live a better life than other criminals. After a long time, they will naturally feel superior. , Become the head of the mine and the head of the prison.

It may seem unbelievable, but human nature is like this.

These Shangguan clansmen needed Shangguan Heng's protection, and Shangguan Heng wanted to help them out of guilt, so the two sides formed a mutual restraint relationship.

However, this is still unstable. From time to time, some officials have to come forward to suppress the members of the Shangguan family in accordance with the clan law and protect the interests of other criminals. In fact, the real purpose is to form a tripartite check and balance.

Don't think that this is unnecessary. There are more than 7000 monks and miners who only need to pay a very small cost. They are very profitable. Managing them well is a big income for the Zhang family.

At the same time, Panlongzong, the nearby Nascent Soul Sect, was destroyed, and Danyang Palace and the Zhang family jointly advanced to occupy nearly half of Panlongzong's territory. The large-scale barren mountain mining area needed to be reorganized and developed.

In order to make life easier for the members of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Heng vigorously hunted down Shan Ye Jiexiu to fill up the number of miners so that the members of the clan could be managers instead of coolies.

If it is according to his original intention, I don’t know how many innocent monks will be arrested by him. Fortunately, the Zhang family’s supervision is extremely strict, which forms a check and balance with Shangguan Heng’s side. Prisoners who are not guilty of real crimes cannot be arrested. Therefore, positive feedback was formed instead, which greatly improved the public security situation and family reputation within the Zhang family's sphere of influence, and improved the prosperity of the business district.

At the same time, this is also educating the monks of the Shangguan family. During the process of arresting the monks in the mountains and maintaining law and order, the monks who are engaged in these things will easily have a heart of justice and glory, so that they gradually forget In my original intention, I really thought that I was a man of justice.

After the Danyang Palace and the Zhang family obtained Panlongzong's treasury heritage and territorial heritage, the treatment of the convict mine slaves has also increased because of the increase in overall income, because their labor is more valuable, and death is not a good supplement. With Shangguan Heng's asylum, the treatment of Shangguan's prisoners has increased linearly.

Although the labor remuneration is still far cheaper than paying, but the more than 7000 Shangguan monks can support a few more Shangguan monks to get rid of crimes, as Shangguan Heng's help.

The current Shangguan Heng seems to be very powerful and powerful, but he is also free from the periphery of the Zhang family. This is difficult to break through before his realm is promoted to Jindan or even Nascent Soul realm.

"Second Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Brother."

Seeing Yun Mengyao and Zhu Yuxin, Shangguan Heng wanted to avoid them, but seeing them walking towards him, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward to salute.

"Well, the third junior brother has not seen for a long time. This time, the master accepts the fifth junior brother and the sixth junior sister. After a while, we will meet each other. You are going to give a gift, have you prepared?"

"Second Senior Sister, I have prepared the Beihai Enlightenment Bead and the Earth Fire Spirit Stone. I wonder if these two meeting gifts are suitable?"

These two spiritual objects are excellent treasures used to assist in cultivation. They are third-order spiritual objects and can be used in the foundation-building stage of monks.

"Well, it's not too bad."

Yun Mengyao nodded slightly, said a few words to Shangguan Hengyan, and then let him go.In this regard, Shangguan Heng let out a long sigh of relief after walking away.

"Hmph, to be able to get the Beihai Enlightenment Bead and the Earth Fire Lingshi. It seems that it is a lot of money to take care of the slaves. Send someone tomorrow to check his accounts." After Shangguan Heng walked away, Yunmeng Yao said with a cold snort.

"Senior sister, the third senior brother is already very afraid of you. Now that he sees us hiding and running away, you can let him go. It is not easy for his big family to hunt down robbers and criminals every year." Zhu Yuxin is a kind demon cultivator, so she couldn't help but say this.

"What do you know? I just let him know how powerful it is for his own good, and let him know clearly that he can't even fight me, so as not to really swell and think about something he shouldn't have."

"Okay, okay, senior sister, you are right, you are right." Afraid of drawing fire on herself, Zhu Yuxin hurriedly nodded in agreement when she heard the words.

In the White Jade Taoist Palace in the back mountain of Huangshan, the disciples are all preparing, and the guests are gradually gathering together. At this time, Zhang Lie is in the cave mansion in the back mountain, reciting the Taihao Gold Seal, comprehending and practicing the forbidden .

The first half of this magical skill is the magical prohibition of moving the stars and moving the gods, which has the magical effect of developing the physical and mental potential of the monks. Even among the Tiangang Taoism, it is also ranked among the top three powerful Taoism.

Although the ranking of Tiangang Disha Dao Art is probably not based on the strength of the fighting method, but it can be ranked so high, and it can also be seen that the mysterious power of this magical art.

"The blood demon Duan Tianya is wearing the jade slip of the blood shadow magic skill, and the thunder demon Yin Shiheng is also wearing the jade slip of the Lei Shu Cang Sheng Jue. Don't care about rumors about these magic skills."

"However, this method of moving stars and changing battles is obviously different. I am afraid that it may not have been passed down intentionally by the Qiankun Demon Ancestor, because it contains the secret that he can cultivate into the top ten evil arts. He will bring this secret to the coffin until he dies, instead of passing it down, and I don't know how Duan Tianya got it."

Originally, changing stars to change Taoism, fighting to change stars, moving to gods is not in the realm of Nascent Soul, and cannot be cultivated, but Zhang Lie has cultivated into the Dharma Body of Taihao Tianzi, and the power of the peerless Jindan's spiritual consciousness is many times stronger than that of monks of the same level. If it increases, you will start to comprehend and practice.

With the operation of the exercises and the deepening of comprehension, Zhang Lie sat cross-legged on the futon, slowly waving his hands, and the substantive magic power flowed.

As time went by, gradually, strands of free mana aura in the surrounding space were attracted and integrated into Zhang Lie's already extremely stable and flawless mana operation system to develop the monk's physical and mental potential.

Obviously, the perfect state that he thinks and compares with the monks around him may not really be the perfect state. At least Zhang Lie's current cultivation vision is different from that of the existence who wrote this half of the Taoist scriptures. Too much.

During this process, a scene suddenly appeared in Zhang Lie's mind:
It was an endless and vast universe, where big stars stood, moved and changed, changing the world.I feel like I am in it, so that the stars in the universe echo with my own cultivation, gain the power of heaven and man, and prove the longevity of heaven and man.

"The moon rises in the east and the sun enters in the west. Ascending is called yang, and descending is called yin....Thunder and wind do not shoot each other, and water and fire do not interfere with each other. The heaven and earth are in harmony with their virtues, and the sun and the moon follow their light...then all things are one."

The picture of the ancient battle seems to be still in front of my eyes, the old and distant voice hits my ears, it suddenly feels like a dream, and thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Lie suddenly opened his eyes in the secret training room, and then, he stopped doing exercises, slowly raised his hands to watch, and vaguely felt that something happened, but it seemed that nothing happened.

Calculating with his fingers, it seems that his ecstasy just now has only passed a very short time, but Zhang Lie also noticed that whether it is spiritual consciousness, body training, or mana swordsmanship, he seems to be aware of a lot of things. What I didn't realize before, there is room for improvement.

"Practicing this God's Forbidden Movement made me vaguely understand how the Taihao Gold Medal was inherited. What I see may not be the real Taihao Gold Medal, and what the world sees may not be the real Taihao Gold Medal. , Only those who inherit their luck and accept their orthodoxy can get the real inheritance."

"At that time, even if it is true, it will become a fake. Even if it is a fake, the copy will become real."

At this moment, a flying talisman came from outside the cave, and Zhang Lie came to take a look, but it was the second disciple Yun Mengyao who urged him to go to the apprentice banquet.

"Huh, fellow Taoist Zhang Yiling cut off his own arm to refine the Five Elements Flag for me. This kind of favor must be repaid, not to mention Zhang Chu and Zhang Su, who have a docile temperament and a fair talent. Let's pass on some true biography to them to repay this fate. "

Half an hour later, Zhang Lie was dressed in a Taoist uniform, and under the watchful eyes of fellow monks on the left and right, he sat in the upper seat, accepting the tea and apprenticeship from Zhang Chu and Zhang Su brothers and sisters. After a little thought, he said:
"Zhang Chu, you are honest and endowed, and I will teach you the way of swordsmanship under my school, so that you can improve your career."

"Thank you, Master, for the kindness of preaching and teaching."

"Zhang Su, you have a gentle temperament and excellent endowment. I will teach you the method of boiling stones and making balls from my disciples, so as to improve your Taoism."

Hearing this, Zhang Su bowed down with the same prostration, thanking Zhang Lie for his kindness in preaching and teaching.

Earth Fiend swordsmanship, Earth Fiend's method of boiling stones and making pills are all orthodox true teachings. It's not like teaching Shangguan Heng, but just teaching him how to practice the heart formula of refining demons in heaven and hell and throwing him a copy of the Ice and Fire Nine Layers True Formula.

Zhang Lie was born in Danyang Palace, known as the Sword Master of Danyang. From outsiders' point of view, alchemy and swordsmanship are his core true inheritance. Therefore, Taoist Zhang Yiling is also deeply satisfied with this, and feels that he has finally lived up to his previous efforts.

After paying homage to Zhang Lie, Zhang Chu and Zhang Su greeted their senior sisters and brothers. While getting some greeting gifts, they also gave them some gifts. Of course, they were far inferior in value.

With the support of Kunyuan Mountain and the annexation of more than half of the legacy of the extinct Panlongzong, the development of the entire Zhang family is becoming stronger and more prosperous, and cultivating monks who build foundations and even purple mansions, as long as the monks themselves have certain qualifications, are no longer the same as before. Such a difficult thing.

But on this day, a new crisis appeared again, and it was not Duan Tianya and the magic cultivator who was lured by him. The current Zhang family has gradually been able to deal with a crisis of this level.

One day, when Zhang Lie was teaching the new disciples Zhang Chu and Zhang Su, a monk from the Zhang family rushed over and came to Zhang Lie's side. He first held the ceremony and then said:
"Old Ancestor, Guangtai is back."

The monk's memory is extremely powerful, even though it was more than 30 years ago, Zhang Lie still didn't forget it, and instantly remembered the simple and honest young monk back then.

Back then, the family really couldn't do without people, so Zhang Lie selected a junior from the clan who seemed to have a good xinxing endowment but a poor spiritual root aptitude, and asked him to take the flying sword that he had deposited into the sword. Sword, go to the 200-year agreement with Lou Hongyu.

But even for a cultivator in the Qi training realm, it took 30 years to travel between Yanzhou in the southern region and Hanzhou in the northern region. It was too long. Back then, my fourth uncle had a weak cultivation base, and it was only a short trip back and forth in a spirit ship. In about a year, unless something happened to Zhang Guangtai.

"You two continue to practice swords according to the previous requirements. Master has some things to deal with."

"Follow your orders, Master."

On the mountain peak, brothers and sisters Zhang Chu and Zhang Su held swords and saluted.

Although the elder brother Zhang Chu is mainly focused on swordsmanship and Zhang Su is supposed to focus on alchemy, basic swordsmanship still needs to be mastered.Therefore, in this part, what should be taught is still the same.

Zhang Lie stood up with the sword, and under the rainbow of the sword light, he soon met Zhang Guangtai, who was already in his 40s, in another Beilin clan land in Huangshan.

A young monk back then, just because he completed a family mission, 30 years later, his face is already full of wind and frost.

Zhang Guangtai was a little excited, and put a sheathed long sword in front of Zhang Lie with both hands.

Zhang Lie didn't take the sheathed sword immediately, but patted the boy's shoulder with some emotion.

"Guangtai, I have suffered for you these years, don't worry, the family will do their best to assist you in the cultivation of foundation building. If one foundation building pill is not enough, you can get two, if two are not enough, you can get three, four or five, in short, I will definitely let you build a foundation to make up for the hard work you have suffered in these years."

Hearing Zhang Lie's words, Zhang Guangtai, who was still uneasy, knelt down immediately, and couldn't help crying profusely.

"Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor, Guangtai is incompetent, and he has made him wait for so many years for a trivial matter. Guangtai is incompetent, and Guangtai is guilty."

In fact, with Zhang Lie's cultivation state, when he just came down, he could sense Zhang Guangtai's current cultivation state and physical and mental state when he just came down. It can be regarded as the tempering of his body and mind.

After slightly calming Zhang Guangtai's over-excited emotions, Zhang Lie just accepted the "sword letter" passed by his old friend Lou Hongyu many years ago.

Bursts of purple-black sword energy spread over the body of the sword as Zhang Lie slowly pulled it out, but Zhang Lie was not surprised by this: the sword ghost Lou Hongyu back then, who cultivated It's not righteous swordsmanship.

As the purple-black sword energy diffused and radiated, Zhang Lie slightly closed his eyes. In all directions, there seemed to be countless masters of swordsmanship, turning into phantoms and attacking with swords.

Not seen for more than 200 years, the power of Lou Hongyu's Taixuan Sword Record Jiuyouzang Sword Art has been increased by more than a hundred times, but today, Zhang Lie's improvement is more than a thousand times compared to 200 years ago.

Accompanied by the expansion of its magic power, the sword intent and sword energy that attacked from all directions, as if from the land of nine seclusion, collapsed and dispersed.

After a long while, Zhang Lie opened his eyes, feeling a little bit emotional, knowing that his old friend from far away is all right, that's enough.

"Guangtai, go down and rest for a while. In the future, your treatment will be calculated according to the family foundation elders. But after a while, I am also very curious to write a note about your 30-year history. You What have you been doing for the past 30 years?"

"Obey, Patriarch."

Zhang Guangtai prayed again and then withdrew.

"Everyone retreats, I want to be alone."

Not long after Zhang Guangtai went down, Zhang Lie gave the order again, and the Zhang family monks who were guarding all around quickly retreated, leaving Zhang Lie alone in the forest of steles.

"Unexpectedly, you were able to discover me? Zhang Lie, you have grown a lot in these years."

Suddenly, such words echoed in the forest of steles.

Zhang Lie looked around and saw a corner of the forest of steles. At some point, a green robed Taoist standing with his hands behind his back suddenly appeared.

The moment Zhang Lie saw this person, his pupils dilated slightly, and then he bowed down and said respectfully:
"Zhang Lie, a disciple of the third generation of Jinhong Valley, pays homage to Patriarch Qingyang!"

More than 200 years ago, the patriarch Zhang Xiangshen sent Zhang Lie to Hanzhou in the northern region to study.Without this action, Zhang Lie would not have acquired the Taihao Gold Medal, and there would not be so many subsequent stories.

200 years ago, the Golden Rainbow Valley was attacked by powerful enemies. The three patriarchs Qingyang, Chimei, and Qianfeng joined forces to pull the entire Golden Rainbow Valley into the netherworld and seal the mountain for a hundred years.

During this process, Zhang Lie took the first step to escape from the Golden Rainbow Valley, and did not follow his fellow disciple, Master Qisha,

Entering the nether world with the three patriarchs, but this is nothing wrong. The situation was chaotic at the time, and the three patriarchs could only protect a small number of the most core disciples, so some people seek their own way of life. This is definitely not an act of abandoning the sect .

Now 200 years have passed, and 200 years ago, the reason why the three Patriarchs of Jinhong Valley joined forces to open the Nether Heaven Barrier was largely because Patriarch Qingyangzi wanted to practice the Nascent Soul Secret Technique recorded in the Great Sun Golden Sutra outside the world. Now this patriarch, the former No. [-] Jindan Daoist in South Vietnam, has obviously achieved success in cultivation.

Under the faint sympathy between the two sides, even Zhang Lie didn't feel that he was fully sure that he could defeat the strongest patriarch in the past.
