Chapter 12
  The moon is at the middle of the sky and a cool breeze blows.

The waves hit the shore one after another, making a crisp 'swishing' sound.

Those escaping lights of different colors that look like shooting stars or fireworks add a different kind of beauty to the night.

For the people of Guanhai City who have not yet rested, it is rare for them to see such beautiful scenery once in their lives.

Adults and children all opened their windows and admired everything.

Everyone had a smile on their face.

Fu Qingfeng also had a smile on his face, but his smile was rather bitter.

The City Lord's Mansion in Guanhai City was only a few steps away from where the Piaomiao Zonglou boat was staying, but Fu Qingfeng didn't want his disciples to see that he was on the verge of collapse, so he transformed into a light and traveled in the night sky.

Living in the cyan light, he would occasionally pass by people with advanced cultivation from nearby sects.

The moment their eyes met, it was enough for him to see the other person's elated and joyful expression.

The other party's joy formed an extremely sharp contrast with his loneliness.

The occasional conversation from the other party made him understand that the divine weapon spectrum, which had not been updated for a long time, was updated tonight.

And as soon as that piece of treasure was on the list, it overpowered countless magic weapons and became the top of the list of divine weapons.

"No wonder...no wonder..."

He murmured to himself, and the words of the Lord of Guanhai City immediately came to mind.

Even though half an hour had passed, those indifferent words still hadn't left his mind.

"Senior Fu, His Majesty has ordered that everyone in your sect must come to Guanhai City within three days to undergo inspection by the five national masters!"

"The entire group of people on board the building are immediately restricted. They are not allowed to leave even half a step without the order of the Imperial Master!"

"At the same time, His Majesty has rewarded your sect with a fairy mountain blessed land outside the imperial city. After the five national masters have completed the inspection, the head of the Demon Suppression Department will personally escort everyone in your sect to the fairy mountain."

"There are longevity deer and fairy foxes on the mountains, and spiritual birds and black cranes on the trees. Yao Cao and strange flowers never fade, and the green pines and cypresses last forever."

"At the foot of the mountain, there is a Demon Suppression Division patrolling day and night. It is the safest place in the world. From now on, you and Senior Shen will no longer have to worry about the cultivation resources of your sect's disciples, because all your sect's needs will be directly handled by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Dispatch.”

These words were simply shocking to Fu Qingfeng! Heartbreaking!

If he obeys the court's arrangements, how will the Piaomiao Sect be different from the Mie Sect?
  But if he doesn't obey these arrangements, the entire Piaomiao Sect may not be able to see the sun tomorrow in this life.

Thinking of this, Fu Qingfeng, who was already more than a thousand years old, and who usually considered himself to have a strong Taoist heart, could no longer hold back any longer, hovering in mid-air, lowering his head and sighing.

If he had known today, more than 200 years ago, why would he and fellow Daoist Shen have stayed away from the core states to establish a sect in this remote place in order to avoid being troubled by the people on the "Heaven" list.

What made him feel most unjust was that he didn't even know the name of the treasure or its power.

But you need to accept such a ‘rich reward’!
  Thinking of this, Fu Qingfeng's expression became even more depressed.

"That's it...that's all..."

"It's better to go back to the ship first and explain everything to the sect's deacon..."

After murmuring a few words, he prepared to turn around.

But at this moment, there was a faint laughter from below.

Fu Qingfeng's expression suddenly changed slightly.

He always felt that the sound of laughter was familiar, so he followed the sound and fell to the ground.

At the same time, in a dense forest with rugged mountain roads, Zhang Qianren saw that he was already thousands of miles away from Guanhai City. For a moment, not only did the depression and fear in his heart disappear, but he also suddenly felt the joy of "fish leaping in the vast sea".

So he stopped on a branch and chuckled with joy.

"Hey hey hey hey~"

Just when he was smiling happily, a faint voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Why is Deacon Zhang smiling so happily? Why don't you tell me about it and make me happy?"

After hearing this unexpectedly, Zhang Qianren immediately let out a "Gah" in his laughter, and his throat suddenly seemed to be blocked.

The smile that had not yet dissipated suddenly froze on his face.

A chill ran down his spine and penetrated into his mind, making his scalp numb instantly.

He swallowed his saliva and looked down, only to see the deputy sect master of the Yuanshen stage whom he was most worried about seeing before, with his head slightly raised, his expression desolate, and his eyes looking at him with deep meaning.

In the night wind, the other party's green shirt was swaying slightly.

And in the next moment, his whole body was lifted up by a breeze that was born out of thin air, slowly floating down from the treetops, and standing on the ground.

Looking at Fu Qingfeng's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, all Zhang Qianren's previous joy disappeared in an instant.

He hated himself for being so impetuous.

I couldn't even wait for a moment and started to get excited and happy.

He was obviously not like this in the past.

As his thoughts were swirling, Fu Qingfeng spoke quietly.

"Deacon Zhang hasn't told me yet, why are you so happy?"

Zhang Qianren was brought back to reality by these words. He raised his hand tremblingly and bowed down.

"See you..."

He had just opened his mouth, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Fu Qingfeng waving his sleeves.

"Why are you so happy? You even have to hide in such a dark and strange place and laugh secretly."

Zhang Qianren pursed his lips and said hesitantly: "Deputy Master Qi, I...I...I..."

He even talked about old man several times, but couldn't think of the follow-up content.

Just when his heart was beating violently, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, followed by the word "I", and said: "I...have a baby."

As soon as this sentence came out of his mouth, he no longer stuttered about the rest of it.

"Just now, an old friend of mine suddenly informed me of the good news."

Fu Qingfeng said "congratulations" with a smile, and then asked: "Such good news should be given openly, why is Deacon Zhang hiding here?"

After hearing this, Zhang Qianren immediately sighed, shook his head and said, "It's not because of the treasure. After I returned to the ship from the East China Sea, I suddenly heard the other deacons talking endlessly about me because of this matter."

"He keeps saying that he wants to report to you and the sect master, accuse me of an exaggerated crime, and ask you and the sect master to remove me from my position as deacon."

"I had a big quarrel with them because of this. I originally wanted to return to the sect and never take care of any affairs in Guanhai City."

"I never thought that as soon as I walked halfway, I would receive a letter from my old... sweetheart."

"That's when it fell to the ground, so I couldn't help but laugh secretly."

"You also know that I am old, my qualifications are not good, and my luck is very shallow. I suddenly have descendants..."

He said this and stopped talking.

Fu Qingfeng stared at him suspiciously, then used his spiritual consciousness to explore his body again, and said coldly: "Erase the mark on your storage ring and give it to me."

The moment his spiritual consciousness came to him, Zhang Qianren's body tensed up subconsciously, for fear that the other party would find the Ruyi golden cudgel inserted in his hair and turned into a hosta.

Fu Qingfeng's words immediately made him feel as if he had been granted amnesty.

"Now that the lie has been told, if I tell it directly, it will make me look suspicious."

After thinking this, he bravely raised his head and asked hesitantly according to his usual temperament: "I wonder why the deputy sect leader wants to see my storage ring?"

His question made Fu Qingfeng's frown relax.

"The imperial court suspects that someone among us has obtained the treasure, and everyone's stored magic weapons must be checked one by one."

Zhang Qianren smiled bitterly when he heard this, "How can I be so blessed? I was already satisfied after seeing that treasure before."

As he spoke, he erased the mark on his storage ring and gave it to Fu Qingfeng. Fu Qingfeng held the ring in his hand, and his vast sea of ​​consciousness immediately penetrated deep into it to inspect it.

The treasure was not found, but instead, many ordinary iron weapons that had been smelted at high temperatures and even cast into swords and clubs, as well as some sundries and elixirs were found.

Fu Qingfeng handed the storage ring back to him and asked, "Deacon Zhang, why do you have so many swords and clubs made of mortal iron in this storage ring?"

Zhang Qianren noticed that the other party's consciousness had dissipated from his body, so he carefully controlled the spiritual energy to cause the blood to rise.

This caused, in Fu Qingfeng's eyes, this honest deacon with low qualifications who had worked hard for the sect all his life. His face turned red and he stammered: "I... my kid is a leader, I... I was excited for a moment. , these are prepared for him.”

When he said this, he was extremely glad that he had prepared these.

When he left Donghai before, he was worried that Fu Qingfeng would find the Ruyi Golden Cudgel on his body, and he was also worried that the other party would suspect why his ring contained a lot of ordinary iron ore.

Therefore, some weapons were easily refined.

However, the excuse he prepared at that time was not the one he said now.

It is for the descendants of an old friend.

While he was thinking about this, Fu Qingfeng took out a small mountain-sized gold nugget from his storage ring with a little hesitation. With a flick of his finger, this golden mountain that was sixteen or seventy feet high fell lightly to the side. On the open ground.

"This is a piece of Geng gold ore that I found in my early years. I wanted to make a magic weapon, but I didn't find all the other materials, so I was delayed."

"Deacon Zhang has been burdened by the sect's trivial matters over the years, and now he has been wronged because of the sect. In addition to compensation, this piece of Geng gold ore will be used as my congratulations on your future!"

In fact, he was reluctant to part with it, but then he thought, since everything in the future would be solved by the Ministry of Revenue for him, why should he keep this piece of gold?

Zhang Qianren stared at this golden mountain in stunned silence.

Good guy!
  You are worthy of being a deputy sect master who has been able to cultivate to the Yuanshen stage, and you are so generous with your actions!

A small mountain is actually a piece of ore in your mouth.

He couldn't help but recall the scene where he was smelting the iron ore with the alchemy furnace at the bottom of the sea with the water-proof talisman on, despite the pressure of the sea. For a moment, he felt as if the clouds were opening and the sky was bright.

With this Gengjin hill here, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel can at least bring him several improvements in his spiritual roots!

Thinking of this, Zhang Qianren's eyes turned red instantly.

Fu Qingfeng saw that his eyes were red because he was moved, and the desolation in his expression also dissipated a lot. He smiled and said: "Hurry up and put away this piece of ore, and go back to the boat with me. I have other things to do." Announce it to the other deacons.”

Zhang Qianren felt a pain in his heart when he heard this.

But he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only use the storage ring to put away the Gengjin hill, and flew away with Fu Qingfeng's escape light.

The speed of escaping light was extremely fast. In just a few breaths, the two of them returned to Guanhai City from thousands of miles away.

After landing on the boat, Fu Qingfeng led Zhang Qianren to the room where many deacons gathered amid the greetings from the sect disciples.

Yue Yang couldn't help but feel suspicious when he saw Zhang Qianren, who said he was going to the sea to hunt for treasure, returned with the deputy sect leader.

"Meet the deputy suzerain!"

"Meet the deputy suzerain!"

Amidst the sound of a group of worshippers, Fu Qingfeng, dressed in a green shirt, strode to the main seat, lifted up his skirt and sat down.

Before he could speak, the deacons who had been waiting for a long time immediately surrounded him.

"Deputy Sect Leader, come and take a look at the newly updated divine weapon spectrum!"

"Yes, yes, take a look!"

After hearing that the divine weapon spectrum had been updated, Fu Qingfeng's heart suddenly jumped.

Without even looking at it, he knew that the updated treasure was exactly the mysterious treasure that led to the annihilation of their Piaomiao Sect.

"I would like to see what kind of treasure it is that can attract colleagues from all over the world to gather together and bring such disaster to our Piaomiao Sect!"

With this thought in mind, he took the piece of paper from a deacon's hand.

Immediately, a piece of messily copied content came into his eyes.

[In March of the year 247 of Daxing, a treasure was born in the vast East China Sea. 】

[At that time, golden lotuses surged from the sea, the wind and thunder shook, and there was a strange fragrance in the sky. Smelling it can strengthen the soul. 】

[When the nine-color light pillars of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, white, and black connect to the sky and the earth, under the sea, there is also a brilliant and auspicious glow. 】

[This treasure is ten thousand feet high and fifty-nine feet wide. It has gold hoops at both ends with cloud patterns on it. The body of the stick is black iron and there are five characters on it - Ruyi Golden Hoop. 】

【It is reported that,……】

After he read this piece of content, he suddenly felt like he had been given a slap in the face.

Suddenly realizing it, the paper slowly slipped out of his hand and landed lightly on the low table in front of him.

Fu Qingfeng seemed unaware of this, just shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

"No wonder..."

"No wonder..."

After muttering a few words to himself, he unconsciously exerted force on his right hand.

"boom!"

The rosary that had been coiled for thousands of years was suddenly crushed by him accidentally.

This 'bang' also brought him back to reality.

Fu Qingfeng glanced down at the broken rosary in his hand, slowly raised his head, and said softly: "According to the imperial court's order, all the people waiting on the boat are immediately restricted. They are not allowed to leave even half a step without the order of the imperial master." !”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

Fu Qingfeng seemed not to notice the expressions on their faces and continued: "The entire sect must come to Guanhai City within three days to undergo inspection by the five national masters. I will inform Fellow Daoist Shen about this later. "

"During this period, if there are any defectors on the ship... regardless of their position, talent, or cultivation level, their entire family, including him or her, will be executed!"

"At the same time, His Majesty has rewarded us with a fairy mountain blessed land outside the imperial city. After the five national masters have completed the inspection, the head of the Demon Suppression Department will personally escort everyone to the fairy mountain."

"From now on, all consumption and needs within the sect will be dispatched by the Household Department!"

When the words came to this, he said softly with a complicated expression: "Everyone, please take care of yourself in the future."

While everyone looked confused, Zhang Qianren secretly clenched his fists.

For a moment, he had the idea of ​​handing over the Ruyi Golden Cudgel.

After all, it was the Piaomiao Sect that trained him. Without the Piaomiao Sect, he would not be where he is now.

But as soon as he thought of 'becoming an immortal right before his eyes', he gritted his teeth and forcibly resisted this impulse!

And kept reminding myself in my heart.

"The path to immortality is right in front of you, I must not be stupid!"

"What do you mean by being a comrade!"

"What does the sect mean?"

"They were still talking about me just now, and even wanted to punish me!"

"How could I give up the destiny given by God for these people!"

"You are here today only because of your bad luck!"

"Seeing as the sect has indeed trained me for so many years, if I become an immortal one day, I will find your reincarnation and help you continue your path to immortality!"

As his thoughts swirled, the tangled look that originally appeared on Zhang Qianren's thin face gradually dissipated.

His expression also calmed down at this moment.
