But Yang Rui's luck was not bad, at noon the next day, Zhang Yan, the teacher he had been thinking about, brought Wang Nian and Liu Rui back on the Skylark Shuttle.

"teacher!"

"Huh?! Little Wood? You're back so soon?"

"Teacher, I came back yesterday. I didn't take much rest along the way, and I rushed back overnight." While speaking, Yang Rui glanced at Zhang Yan with a guilty conscience, as if to confirm the expression on Zhang Yan's face. expression.

Zhang Yan wanted to laugh.He has lived with the three children around him for so long, why doesn't he know that Yang Rui's appearance is something on his mind?

So Zhang Yan patted Yang Rui's head and asked: "Is there something urgent to find a teacher when you come back in such a hurry? Okay, let's go, let's talk in the study."

He gave Wang Nian the back of his head, who was bragging to Yang Rui to show off the construction progress of the mountain gate, and told Liu Rui to go back to wash and eat first without waiting for them.Then he led Yang Rui to the study.

What can Yang Rui do?The urgent matter that made him hurry back from Yuanding Imperial City must have come from the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom.

But looking at Yang Rui's anxious and apprehensive look, Zhang Yan guessed it was not a trivial matter.But recently, Nanyuan's country can be regarded as a rare peace.

Could it be the visit of the Yaozu?

The Haoyue Monster Country sent an envoy, and the three hundred monster soldiers and monster generals couldn't hide their mighty journey. Even though Langyuan City is located in Beijiang County, they still heard a lot of rumors about this.

When he arrived at the study room, Yang Rui made Zhang Yan a cup of hot tea very attentively, and then handed over a copper bar that was close to his bosom.

"Teacher, this is a letter written by my father. My father also said that he couldn't go away because of the political affairs, otherwise he would beg the teacher face to face. So this time I asked the disciple to beg the teacher on behalf of the father. He must help Give Nanyuan Kingdom a hand!" Yang Rui knelt down as he spoke.The baby is really scared by my father.

Zhang Yan didn't care about Yang Rui's behavior of kneeling on the ground.His own disciple, he didn't care if he knelt down, what he cared about was the handwritten letter from Emperor Yang Sheng in his hand.The content after three or two lines of polite words was completely beyond Zhang Yan's expectation.He didn't expect that Yaozu would propose such an option to Nanyuan Kingdom.It's clear, "I don't want to fight anymore, so do you, right? How about a compromise?"

In addition, Yang Sheng did not conceal his purpose in the letter.Because Yang Sheng knew that he could bluff his own son, but he certainly couldn't bluff Zhang Yan.Rather than being embarrassed by the price drop after being seen to be careful.Better to be honest from the start.After all, in Yang Sheng's view, the request he made was not harmful to Zhang Yan at all, it was just a detour, and many things turned into Nanyuan Kingdom first.

For example, in the letter, Yang Sheng said in detail that he hoped to use Zhang Yan's influence to make Nanyuan Kingdom a special country on the border of the human race.Not only is there no spirit race raging here, but also the only Bone Strengthening Pill in Huangtianyu, and the special bell that can deal with the spirit race.

What was mentioned above had little to do with Nanyuan Kingdom, it was Zhang Yan's ability.Although Zhang Yan's relationship with Nanyuan Country has always been good, it is by no means equal.Yang Sheng knew this very well, so he hoped that Zhang Yan would turn the Bone Strengthening Pill and the Ghost-Shipping Bell around Nanyuan Kingdom's body before dispersing them.The result will not change anything for Zhang Yan.But it is quite different for Nanyuan Nation.

Once the bone-strengthening pill and ghost-stealing bell in Zhang Yan's hands are out of Nanyuan Kingdom's hands, regardless of whether Nanyuan Kingdom can control it or not, the fact is that Zhang Yan has given a kind of real power.

Just like what Yang Sheng said in the letter, at that time Nanyuan Kingdom was a special country on the border of the human race.Whoever wants the Bone Strengthening Pill and Ghost Shocking Bell must maintain a good relationship with Nanyuan Nation.Moreover, one of these two items is a pure consumable, and the other is a semi-consumable that needs to be brought back for Zhang Yan to empty before he can continue to use it.The kind that can't get rid of dependence at all.

"It's easy to calculate. It will be difficult for other countries to deliberately target Nanyuan Nation under such circumstances. They can only turn a blind eye to the matter between Nanyuan Nation and Haoyue Yao Nation.

But when dealing with the monster race, there are thorns inside and out. " Zhang Yan closed the copper bar in his hand, but he had no resistance to helping the emperor.

Zhang Yan was just curious.What will be the changes and catastrophes within five years that the Yaozu said?

Chapter 380 Two Years

If you follow the steps step by step, you will always feel that the day is ordinary and ignore the passage of time.

But once there is a reference object or person around, it will send out a sigh: how fast it goes!

Especially when there are children around, it is really like a mirror of time, reminding you how the words "time goes by" come from all the time.

Two years flew by in Zhang Zhiyun's staggering trot from his infancy to the yard.

Liu Rui, Wang Nian, and Yang Rui are also two years older each.

Because of Biqingdan, Wang Lanping's health seems to have gotten better in the past two years.It's just that Zhang Yan is getting more and more disliked, because what she is thinking about is still Zhang Yan's marriage, and now it seems that she has no way to control this matter, and she is very resentful.Fortunately, she heard that the eldest son Zhang Shun and his daughter-in-law Wang Qin are planning to have a second child.

Zhang Shun and Wang Qin went to Yuanding Imperial City together since last year, where they set up the main store of Zhangjia Woodware Shop.With the support of Yuanding's well-connected official roads, the great opportunity for the development of distribution to all parts of Nanyuan Kingdom has officially begun.And also reached a purchase agreement with the Ministry of War Yamen, and the Yamen of the Ministry of War will pay for the welfare of those disabled soldiers.

In fact, the Yamen of the Ministry of War was not only staring at the wheelchair, but also the pair of limbs on Zhang Shun's body.Now who doesn't know that Zhang Yan can bring the disabled back to life?But the matter of Qi Li has not been followed up, and Zhang Yan does not take up the quarrel, and no one can do anything about him.

Look at that slave of the Zhang family, who is also handicapped, now has an extra arm to move freely, and even the combat skills of a warrior can also be displayed with that so-called weapon limb.

How can this not be enviable?

What makes He Xianghong enviable is not only the limbs that many people dream of but can't get, but also the convenience that he can use the bone strengthening pill against his will.After two years, He Xianghong finally entered the early stage of Tongqiao Realm from Kaiyuan Realm by bumps and bumps.It is rare to be able to cultivate to this level with his talent, and he is very satisfied.But he could also see that his master wasn't happy about it.It is often said that "this strength is still too far away".It made He Xianghong often panic about this, worrying about being kicked out.

Because the bone strengthening pill's effect on He Xianghong was already weakening.He eats too much.

While eating a lot of bone strengthening pills, the effect began to fade, while others were eager to see through this kind of treasure for warriors.

In the past, if you wanted to ask Dan, you had to go to Zhang Yan's door.Basically, except for those who have a special relationship, no one has succeeded.But now since two years ago, this situation has changed drastically.But it's hard to say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.That is to say, Zhang Yan put the rare treasure of bone strengthening pill in the hands of the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom, supplying a certain amount every year, and the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom was responsible for dealing with all the people and forces who came to seek pills.

Not only the Bone Strengthening Pill, but also the Dementing Soul Bell, Zhang Yan put the entrance and exit in the hands of the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom as if it was unnecessary.

Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see that Zhang Yan must have reached a tacit understanding with the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom, so that Zhang Yan can raise the status of Nanyuan Kingdom in this way.

One person raises the status of a country?This may seem like crazy talk, but it is also true.Today's Zhang Yan enjoys this ability in the entire human race boundary of Huangtianyu.Don't talk about its own killing methods, just talking about the bone-strengthening pill and ghost-absorbing bell is enough.

In this way, the good news is that the elixir and ghost-absorbing bell, which were originally impossible to find, now have a way.Different from Zhang Yan's inaccessible difficulties, the Nanyuan Kingdom's royal family opened the door, and they were easy to discuss with, and they were friendly and friendly, but the price to be paid was not small at all, and the price had even increased in the past two years. Several times.

The disadvantages are also obvious, that is, in the eyes of many Shangguo who didn't like to see or didn't see Nanyuan Kingdom in their eyes, they felt somewhat uncomfortable.There is a sense of déjà vu that Nanyuan Kingdom has suddenly gone out of luck and become a nouveau riche.

The most dissatisfied is undoubtedly the demon clan.The business that was originally monopolized by them was first divided by the Beiwu Kingdom, and now the Nanyuan Kingdom has also stepped in, causing their business that was originally worthless and profitable to drop by [-]%.I went to Zhang Yan to intercede, but Zhang Yan didn't even meet them.I felt aggrieved and complained, but there was nothing I could do.

The status of Nanyuan Kingdom has risen, and at the same time, the surrounding human nations have to weigh the pros and cons in order to deal with the unprecedented and unique situation in the southwest of Nanyuan Kingdom.

The monster race wandered around the territory of the human race, and the two sides did not fight, they were extremely restrained and relatively tacit.It is clear that the two sides have some kind of agreement.

Cooperation between human race and demon race? !

The first reaction of most people who heard the news was disbelief followed by anger.It's like discovering a traitor in your own group.

In this situation, in the past, it would be inevitable to attack in groups.Even for Beiwu and Huayue, the two neighbors who are next to Nanyuan Kingdom, it is definitely the best opportunity to take advantage of the trend and carve up Nanyuan Kingdom.

But now, because the status of Nanyuan Kingdom has changed under the promotion of Bone Strengthening Pill and Ghost-Shipping Bell, their ideological resentment and anger have been forced to calm down by real interests and needs.

The last step is to "open one eye and close one eye".Even Beiwu Kingdom, which has long had a grudge with Nanyuan Kingdom, pretended not to know about this matter, because Nanyuan Kingdom had never made any small moves against Beiwu Kingdom in terms of the entry and exit of the ghost-killing bell.Beiwu Kingdom is now relatively stable as a whole, and the usefulness of the ghost-stealing bell is becoming more and more prominent.

According to the news of the demon species, in fact, not only the human spirit race, but also the demon spirit race is now much more active than before, and they are all trying their best to obtain living souls to devour them in an abnormal manner.There are not many countries that can stabilize and barely stabilize the situation like Nanyuan Kingdom and Beiwu Kingdom.There have been large-scale fleeing in many places, and the situation is very bad.This is actually one of the potential reasons why Nanyuan Kingdom was able to pass the customs so smoothly.

As far as Zhang Yan is concerned, the changes in Nanyuan Kingdom and even the outside world cannot make him change his practice pace.

Two years of accumulation, even if there are ghost-stealing bells that continuously send ghosts and wild ghosts to provide merit and aura, it is still not enough for Zhang Yan, who is in the middle stage of returning to the gods, to form the weight to hit the next level.If there is no other night grass to fertilize, Zhang Yan estimates that it will take at least two years for him to touch the threshold of the late stage of returning to the gods.

But for Zhang Yan's three disciples, two years was enough for their cultivation to improve by leaps and bounds.

First is Wang Nian, this skinny monkey has officially stepped into the early stage of Profound Vein Realm.Followed by Yang Rui, followed by entering the late stage of entraining Qi.However, Liu Rui, who was the last to start, has shown her strong cultivation talent in the past two years, which is not inferior to that of Zhang Yan, and she is temporarily stuck in the late stage of entraining Qi like Yang Rui.

In addition, the construction of the mountain gate on the cliff mountain has also entered the final stage after two years.

Chapter 381

There are immortals in the clouds... My baby follows me... Kowtow to beg for immortality... The immortals can't be seen...

There is a door on the mountain... There is a ladder in front of the door... I ask for longevity to come quickly... The gods have fallen into the mundane world...

It is not clear who arranged this folk song with a strong Shu culture atmosphere, but Zhang Yan remembers it very clearly, because this song always appeared in the fragments of his childhood memories that included his master, Lingering.

Every time I go back to the "mountain gate" that has become a scenic spot, and I have to pay for tickets to enter, at night, in the forest, Zhang Yan can hear his master sing this song in a voice that has become hoarse from smoking too much. ballad.

Zhang Yan asked the master where he heard this song, and he found it very interesting.And every time his master would shake his head and say "I don't know either".Then you will look at the mountain standing in the dark night. You know it is right in front of you, but you can't see it clearly because of the night.But his master can see the dawn every time.every time.

Qiuxian asked.

It was ethereal and indescribable.

The word "fate" can barely be included.Just like Zhang Yan is now.Counting the previous life's ignorance, the Huangtianyu can soar in this life, and there are few thorns.

One drink and one peck is not a word of "fate".

There are even more involvements with the word fate going up.For example, the origin of "Fate".So Zhang Yan stood in front of the cliff mountain gate for a long time, and subconsciously sang a song that his master had sung many times at night.

Although the words in the song have not changed, the emotion is vastly different.Because Zhang Yan at this moment is completely opposite to what his master experienced back then.

One is the method of seeking immortality but not being able to get it, and standing at the door but not being able to enter it.

One is that you don't ask for or ask for success, but you are already standing at the door of Xianyuan and there are clear steps in front of you until the end.

"Teacher, this song is really nice!"

The crisp childish voice was Liu Rui's voice.No matter what Zhang Yan does now, she is good, and her sense of worship is the most among Zhang Yan's three disciples.

"Does it sound good? This is what my master sang to me before. It's just a pity that he didn't get his fairy fate." Zhang Yan smiled, not sure if he was answering Liu Rui or expressing emotion.

Shaking his head, he shook off the melancholy in his mind, and looked at the word "dragon and tiger" on the mountain gate.Zhang Yan then said to the three disciples beside him: "Today is the day to open the mountain gate. The word "dragon and tiger" is the source of my Taoism. You should remember it in your heart and don't forget it."

"Disciple, remember!" The three children answered with a bow.

Although Wang Nian, who was already ten years old, still had a chubby face, his eyes were no longer as clever as they were two years ago, and he had become somewhat calmer from the grinding and experience of his practice.

Now the three disciples, Wang Nianqian, stood half a step ahead, leading Yang Rui and Liu Rui up the steps step by step, up the Duanya Mountain, and into the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Gate!

Kaishan should have invited people to watch the ceremony, and the excitement would show off its reputation.But Zhang Yan finally thought about it and let it go.There are only three disciples under the door, and the big ostentation cannot be supported for the time being.What's more, the reunion of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Gate should have been the same as when it disappeared, inadvertently breaking through the ground like a grass, and the time when it towers to the sky will be the time when it will shake the world.

All the way up, every inch of the cliff mountain has become very different from two years ago.

When you take the first step into the gate of Longhu Mountain, you can feel the difference between the aura in this mountain and the outside.Every time you take a breath, you can feel the comfort of refreshing your spleen and lungs. Even if you are not a monk or even a warrior at all, this feeling will be especially clear, and you will know: this place is different from other places!

This is because of the hundreds of spiritual veins of different sizes that have been planted at the foot of the cliff.In the past two years, Zhang Yan searched all around Nanyuan Kingdom, including the Haoyue Monster Kingdom in the west, and what he got back was a large spiritual vein and three medium-sized spiritual veins that were constantly gathering and taking root.

Among them, the contribution of Haoyue Monster Kingdom is indispensable, and most of the medium spirit veins that Zhang Yan moved back came from there.And to gather a large spiritual vein requires a full sixteen medium spiritual veins.

Afterwards, Zhang Yan arranged more than ten magic circles at the foot of the cliff mountain in order to prevent the aura of the spirit vein from passing away and causing waste.Gu Ling is the main one, and he also has considerable defensive capabilities to ensure that his hard work will not be overturned due to any accident.

But there is an interlude.That is when Zhang Yan gathered the first large spiritual vein at the foot of the cliff mountain, he obviously felt a strange force suddenly appearing, and took away the completed large spiritual vein in a way that wanted to snatch it away.In the end, Zhang Yan used the funnel-shaped veins and magic circle to force him back.It is also for this reason that he has arranged so many magic circles under the cliff mountain.

At the same time, Zhang Yan also figured out why not only was there no great spiritual vein in Nanyuan country, but also the surrounding countries including Haoyue Yao kingdom.It is likely that there was originally, but it was taken away.

Not everyone has the ability to take away the Great Spirit Vein.At least if Zhang Yan's cultivation base and means are still a little worse at this time, he is not sure.So Zhang Yan naturally thought of the person who rescued the Great Ghost King of Wanjiang from him, Martial Saint Xu Fengyang.

Zhang Yan had a hunch that he would meet the other party again in a short time.

Continuing to go up the cliff mountain, the abundance of spiritual energy has changed the vegetation and animals in the mountain under the adjustment of time, and the spiritual species produced are too numerous to enumerate.Everything has been recorded, waiting to continue to observe whether they will have further mutations.Wang Nian was also told that he was not allowed to hunt in the range of Duanya Mountain any more, and that he could not interfere with the natural evolution of the mountain just for the sake of his appetite.Zhang Yan also smiled and said that some of these animals might evolve into some spirit beasts that can be used to guard the mountain.

The building has also been completed.Whether it is the dotted pavilions or the main building complex divided into nine stages on the mountain, they have all been completed now.Or it's all done for the time being.

The so-called Immortal Family style, apart from abundant aura, is actually not much.It needs to be improved slowly later.Especially the hall named "Dengyun Hall" built on the highest peak by Zhang Yan. Although it was completed, Zhang Yan left many designs on the foundation of the hall that others did not understand.He is not strong enough now, and the idea that he can't realize it will be kept for now, and if he has enough strength in the future, he will find a way to see if it can be realized.

Since the mountain was opened today, Zhang Yan also wanted to take this opportunity to name the three disciples.

The party walked to the top of the peak and entered the Dengyun Hall, and what caught their eyes were three portraits of the Three Qings who were originally hung in Zhang Jiajing's room and now hung in the middle hall of the main hall.

"Today is a great auspicious day. The three of you have been studying with me for several years. You have not formally entered the school before, just to register your name. Now I would like to accept you to formally return to my sect and accept my mantle. Do you wish?"

Chapter 382 Getting Started

As soon as Zhang Yan's words fell, the three disciples knelt down in response, with their heads on the ground, expressing their willingness with excited tones.

Among them, the most surprising one was naturally Yang Rui.He is not as talented as Liu Rui, and his cultivation is not as good as Wang Nian. He has always been worried that he will be kicked out suddenly.Now that he suddenly heard Zhang Yan's proposal, his little face flushed with excitement.After all, he is only at the late stage of the Qi Entraining Realm now, and he has not yet reached the profound veins, so he can officially enter the realm?

Liu Rui was also very excited, but it was better than Yang Rui. After all, he had already expected in his heart and knew that his talent was already within the consideration of the teacher's entry-level disciples.

The most calm one is Wang Nian.He had been waiting for this day for a long time with his cultivation at the Profound Vein Realm.

Three bows and nine knocks.

Under the witness of Sanqing, Wang Nian was the leader, Yang Rui was the second, and Liu Rui was the last.The three of them officially became the only three disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Gate besides Zhang Yan in the Huangtian Territory.

For a moment, even Zhang Yan didn't notice or notice it, a thin wisp of fluorescent light appeared on Sanqing's portrait and covered his body, and it seemed to penetrate into his body and disappear in just a moment .But Zhang Yan didn't notice all this at all.

"Respect the teacher and respect the way, don't care about evil spirits, don't kill each other, don't be ungrateful, don't be arrogant, and don't belittle yourself. Have kind thoughts in your heart but don't be full of kindness..."

For the first time, Zhang Yan laid out the lengthy door regulations in front of the three kneeling disciples in a chanting tone.Zhang Yan was the first to hear this nearly thousand-character family rules at the age of Wang Nian. He also knelt on the ground and memorized it in his heart over and over again. Until now, he has never forgotten a single word.

The first three times Zhang Yan read it, the three children were busy memorizing it in their hearts.By the fourth time, Liu Rui raised her head and read along with bumpy bumps, by the fifth time, Yang Rui could also recite along with it, and by the seventh time, Wang Nian finally added it in.

After nine times, Zhang Yan stopped.Walking up to the three of them, he reached out and touched the tops of their heads.

"The door rules must be kept in mind, and not a single word is forgotten. If anyone violates the door rules, there will be punishments. Serious cases, such as deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors, will make their souls fly away and never be reborn forever. Do you understand?"

"Disciple understands!"

As soon as the mountain gate is established, Zhang Yan will take three disciples to practice in this mountain.As far as Zhang Yan was concerned, he was not doing it to avoid the world, but simply for the benefit brought by the great spiritual vein at the foot of the cliff mountain.One day of casual practice here is equivalent to two days in the quiet room of Langyuan City.The amount of gain accumulated over time can be described as huge.

But there is nothing to worry about behind him, except that Liu Rui's life experience is miserable and lonely.Including Zhang Yan, there are still many worries around him that he can't let go of.

Zhang Yan called this state of practice "half-worldly", which is also "half-worldly".Not only did the three apprentices clearly feel the difference between going out and going in, but he also felt the contrast was sharp.

The commotion in Langyuan City became even more lively.Not only the daily sycophants, but also the trivial matters and joys of the family.

In the mountains, apart from going down the mountain with Wang Nian to hunt from time to time, there is only one thing to do most of the day: practice.

Yang Rui is the person who enjoys the tranquility of the mountain gate the most at the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Gate.Even several times he did not go back with Zhang Yan, but stayed alone in the mountain gate, enjoying it.

Liu Rui will go wherever Zhang Yan goes, she can eat big fish and meat from the Zhang family in Langyuan City, and she is also used to the simple food and drink in Shanmen.No matter where she is, the only thing she is interested in is practicing, to become as powerful as a master!

Wang Nian is the one who always feels dull and unaccustomed to the life in the mountains.For him, it is okay to live in the mountains for a few days, but it is unbearable to live for a long time.There is nothing delicious, nothing interesting, and it is even impossible to eat a candied haws in the mountains.The only fun is wandering around the mountains, teasing the mountain beasts who seem to be getting smarter and smarter.But he can only look at the wild beasts, because all the wild beasts in the mountains are afraid of him.Master said that these beasts have spirits, and they are naturally afraid of people like him who are "full of fire".

So every time Zhang Yan wants to go back to Langyuan City, Wang Nian is the most active one.

There is no trace of time in the mountains.Especially for monks like Zhang Yan who don't even need sleep and food, sometimes their minds are deep in thought, and they can't be distracted for several days.It's much easier to forget yourself than when you are always entangled in things in Langyuan City.
