Watching the woman and the boy go away, Zhou Tian looked forward disapprovingly: "The main hall? Where is the main hall?"
He looked around and saw that there were two or three-story attics everywhere in Tianjian Sect today, and each attic was very unique. There were many disciples coming in and out, and it was impossible to tell where the main hall was, and the plaques hanging on each floor.
Although there are words written on them, I can't see what they mean? This is the first time Zhou Tian is so hesitant.
He looked up and saw a pool not far away. He walked over and looked around. This should be the center of the Tianjian Sect. The disciples coming and going saw Zhou Tian indifferently and seemed to turn a blind eye to him.
Every time Tian wanted to ask, he saw how indifferent these people were and had no desire to ask any more.
"Are you Zhou Tian?"
Just as he was looking around, a man appeared from behind him. He turned around, looked around, and still said respectfully: "That's right. I wonder where the main hall is?"
Finally, someone came to say hello to him. Zhou Tian had to ask where the main hall was even if he said anything. If this person didn't say hello, he would have no choice but to leave here.
"Oh, the sect master is waiting for you in the main hall, please come with me!"
This person spoke much more pleasantly than the woman just now, and was also very polite. Zhou Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed him towards the main hall. But this time, all the disciples turned their attention to Zhou Tian.
"What does this mean? You just ignored me, but now you are looking at everyone with curiosity..."
The man smiled and said: "Haha, it doesn't matter. If you wander around alone in Tianjian Sect, my senior brothers and sisters will think that you are just a disciple who is waiting to enter the sect. It is not surprising.
There are hundreds of disciples of Tianjian Sect. One more of you is not more, and one less of you is not more. And if you follow me to the main hall, it means that you are not a disciple studying, and you can come and go of Tianjian Sect at will, of course you will.
Get their attention."
Zhou Tian understood this person's explanation immediately, and it was concise and concise, making it easy for people to understand.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
This man was kind-faced, soft-spoken, and looked upright. He stopped and turned around and said to him, "I am Qiao Muran, the third in chief of the Tianjian Sect."
"Qiao Muran? What a good name, what a name. As soon as you hear your name, I know you are someone who is easy to get in touch with. Very good, very good!"
After Zhou Tian heard the name, he praised her endlessly, which made Qiao Mulan feel a little embarrassed. Then he waved his hand: "There is no good or bad name. The front is the main hall."
Along the way, although there were many looks coming his way, Zhou Tian could feel that these looks were more out of curiosity than any hostility.
"Mr. Zhou, this is the main hall. It is three floors high. It is the highest floor in the Tianjian Sect. It is also the place where the sect master practices and retreats for discussion. The sect master is inside. We can't enter at all, so you can go in first."
Zhou Tian made a simple salute, then looked up at the plaque on the attic of the main hall, which read the four characters "Qingya Jiange". The writing was firm and the four characters were natural and very lively. Although it looked like
It was written with a pen, but if you look closely, it is clearly the result of the sword energy.
After Zhou Tian expressed his thoughts, Qiao Mulan quickly clapped his hands and praised: "As expected of a disciple of the academy, you can see that, I will retire now."
After saying that, Qiao Muran slowly took a few steps back, then turned and left.
Zhou Tian stepped up the stairs of the main hall, came to the main hall door, and knocked lightly a few times.
"come in!"
A low and steady voice reached Zhou Tian's ears, and he slowly pushed the door open. What he saw was not any luxurious furnishings, but numerous memorial tablets, many of which shocked Zhou Tian.
"this?"
A man with his hands behind his back facing Zhou Tian said slowly: "Yes, this place can also be called the Shangzong Temple. What you see are the memorial tablets of all the deceased ancestors and disciples of our Tianjian Sect throughout the past and present.
"
Zhou Tian took a quick look and saw the layers of tablets in front of him, which looked particularly solemn and solemn. Next to each tablet was an eternal fire illuminating it. It seemed that this person should be the sect master. He seemed to be a leader who paid so much attention to the tablets.
A good sect leader who always thinks about his sect, he remembers when his father took him to see the longevity tablets. The scene is still vivid in his mind like it is now.
"Are you Ma Rongcheng, the leader of Tianjian Sect?"
Zhou Tian said something involuntarily, and then the man slowly turned around, and it turned out to be Ma Rongcheng.
Although he is very old, he looks stronger than anyone else, his figure is as well-proportioned as that of an ordinary middle-aged man, he has thick black hair, not even a trace of white hair can be seen, and he is full of energy.
"Haha, yes, I am the leader of the Tianjian Sect, please let me wait."
After Zhou Tian heard this, he quickly bowed ninety degrees and buried his head deeply: "Please forgive me, Master, I have a lot of things to do in the past few days, and I have to deal with them before I can pay my respects!"
Ma Rongcheng didn't seem to care about this, and smiled and said: "What's the point? Who hasn't done anything about themselves? I heard that you knocked out the brother of Patriarch Haotian at the Iron Lao Pass in the City of Demons a few days ago?"
When Zhou Tian heard this, he actually knew about it so quickly. He really knew everything, so he smiled awkwardly: "That was just an accident. At first, I didn't know that he was the younger brother of Patriarch Haotian.
, Besides, the little princess and the second elder of the City of Demon have always been somewhat prejudiced against me, and I don’t blame them for thinking so."
Zhou Tian unknowingly said everything on his mind. Even he himself never thought why he would be so kind to Ma Rongcheng when he met him for the first time.
"Come, please sit down."
Ma Rongcheng waved his hand and asked Zhou Tian to sit on the chairs on both sides of the hall.
Zhou Tian is also a person who has seen the world, but now under Ma Rongcheng's eyes, he seems extremely nervous and reserved.
"Our Tianjian Sect is the second largest sect besides your academy, serving the Qi Cultivating Continent all the year round. Although the Imperial City of Dong Chu also favors us, we are still committed to Qi cultivators all over the world, and to the royal family.
This is fair treatment. You know the current situation very well. The academy asked you to come to Xihuan just to investigate the matter between Haotian Pavilion and Haotian Patriarch."
"I specially asked you to come here this time. I just want to ask how your investigation went? Is there anything that our Tianjian Sect has not investigated yet? Let's communicate with each other so that we can solve the threat of Haotian Pavilion as soon as possible."
Zhou Tian listened carefully to Ma Rongche's statement. After listening, he thought to himself: Such a big sect leader actually asked me for information...
"Oh, Sect Master, I came to Xihuan this time. I was originally accompanied by three people, but there were too many delays along the way. My two brothers were plotted by Haotian Pavilion respectively, so I found out a little bit."
"oh?"
Ma Rongcheng suddenly became interested, raised his brows slightly, and leaned forward slightly.
Zhou Tian continued: "As a member of the Xuantian Sect, the Xuantian Sect in Xihuan must investigate clearly, so I went to the Xuantian Sect to investigate the situation. Later I realized that the Xuantian Sect was not colluding with the Haotian Pavilion, but
I want to decipher the tricks of Haotian Pavilion."
Although Ma Rongcheng knew that he was going to deal with the Xuantian Sect, what he didn't know was that they were going to break the Haotian Pavilion's trick. He immediately stood up and said to Zhou Tian: "What? Break the trick? Zhou Tian, can you?
You must know that trickery is Haotian Pavilion's secret skill. If it is cracked, it will be a matter of immeasurable merit. Once cracked, their Haotian Pavilion will not be worth mentioning in the eyes of us Qi cultivators."
"Then do they have a crack at it?"
Ma Rongcheng was so excited suddenly, which shocked Zhou Tian. He didn't expect that this sect leader would treat Qi cultivators so seriously.
He also stood up and said softly: "This matter is a long story. Generally speaking, Zhou Chuji, the current leader of the Xuantian Sect in Xihuan, can only break the Haotian Pavilion's puppetry with his own strength.
But the rest has not yet been completed, and even his disciples can only meet his requirements."
After Zhou Tian finished speaking, Ma Rongcheng sat down again and sighed: "The tricks used in Haotian Pavilion are completely different from the methods of our qi cultivators. Even after so many years of painstaking study, I don't know why.
I didn’t expect that the master of Xuantian Sect could crack it so easily, I feel really ashamed when I think about it!”
Seeing him blaming himself so much, Zhou Tian comforted him and said: "Each sect has its own unique secrets. Maybe Xuantian Sect just has the magic weapon to break the tricks of Haotian Pavilion. It is not impossible. Sect Master Ma also
Don’t blame yourself too much.”
While Zhou Tian was consoling, he remembered something that those people discussed in the Lord's Mansion of the City of Demons. He blinked and looked at Ma Rongcheng, wondering whether he should say it or not.
"Um... Sect Master Ma, I have something to ask you!"
Ma Rongcheng didn't feel too sad. Hearing Zhou Tian's question, he immediately came back to his senses and asked: "Whatever you want to ask, just ask."
After Zhou Tian heard this, he took a sip of the tea on the side of the table and said: "Sect Master Ma, I think you should have heard that Patriarch Haotian will return to Xihuan in the near future. By then, your Tianjian Sect and Haotian Pavilion will definitely have something.
There will be a big battle, and in the end the entire City of Demon will be slaughtered..."
Ma Rongcheng didn't understand what he said, so he interrupted Zhou Tian: "Haotian Pavilion and our Tianjian Sect have been at war all year long. The return of Patriarch Haotian this time is no different from before. What do you think?
What do you mean?"
Zhou Tian thought for a moment, and instead of continuing to beat around the bush, he said it directly, so he paused and said, "The Lord of the City of Demon wants to join forces with you to defeat the Haotian Pavilion. I wonder if Sect Leader Ma agrees?"
As soon as Zhou Tiang finished speaking, a woman suddenly pushed open the door and walked in. Her voice sounded very much like the tyrannical master just now.
"To put it bluntly, Sect Leader, this guy is a lobbyist. It's a shame that you think so highly of him."
The woman gradually walked in from the door, and then she saw clearly that this woman was the mother of the boy just now, and she was really not an enemy.
Zhou Tian glanced at it and then focused his attention on Ma Rongcheng again.
"Ah madam! Why are you here? Brother Zhou Tian is talking to me. There is something inappropriate for you here."
After Zhou Tian heard this, he almost knocked the tea cup off the table nervously. He never expected that this woman was actually Ma Rongcheng's wife.
"Hmph, how can a mere young man allow the sect master to have such a solemn meeting alone? But that's right, this man just scolded your son."
When Ma Rongcheng heard that it was his son, his eyes suddenly changed and he stood up immediately. He looked at Zhou Tian with a cold look, which made Zhou Tian suddenly feel like he couldn't breathe. This damn sense of oppression made Zhou Tian immediately stand up and quickly put his hands in his hands:
"Sect Master Ma, this is what happened..."
Zhou Tian explained the reason in panic.
After hearing this, Ma Rongcheng laughed and said: "Okay! Hahaha! Okay, I didn't expect you at such a young age to be able to say such things. You have to know that what you said was my master at the time."
I once told you, scolding is good, scolding is good!"
His wife originally thought that he would fly into a rage and argue with Zhou Tian, but she did not expect that he would value Zhou Tian even more. She glanced at her unwillingly and left angrily.
The moment she left, when she passed by Zhou Tian, Zhou Tian suddenly discovered a strange side.
After she left, Zhou Tian hurriedly stepped forward and asked softly: "Please forgive me for talking too much. I have something unclear!"
Ma Rongcheng looked at Zhou Tian's cautious look, waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't need to say it, I know what you are going to say to me? Do you want to say that my wife is from Haotian Pavilion?"
Zhou Tian was startled and nodded slightly in response: "So Sect Master Ma knows!"
Zhou Tian found it unbelievable that the famous Tianjian Sect, the second largest sect in the world, actually married a woman from Haotian Pavilion as his wife, and said it so calmly. Why is this?
Ma Rongcheng sat down slowly and then took a sip of tea: "This tea is really good. There is a tea forest on the high mountain here. If you have time in the future, you can go and see for yourself. The ancient tea there is first-class.
Delicious."
At this time, Zhou Tian didn't want to know how good the tea was, but wanted to hear his explanation.
Ma Rongche glanced sideways at Zhou Tian and smiled: "You really want to know the reason, right?"
"It's very simple, because of love! My wife and I have known each other for a long time, but at that time, the leader of Haotian Pavilion was still Bai Qinghe, not the ancestor of Haotian. My wife and I were already engaged at that time, who had
I think that the disappearance of Bai Qinghe and the return of Patriarch Haotian to take charge of Haotian Pavilion led to everything that happened next, but the friendship between my wife and I has not changed at all."
"Little brother Zhou Tian, don't worry. Everyone in the world knows that my wife is involved in Haotian Pavilion. Moreover, she has not done anything sorry for me, and she has also given birth to a son for me. Isn't this a good thing?"
After Zhou Tian heard this, although he couldn't figure it out, it was considered an explanation and he didn't ask any more questions.
"Since Sect Master Ma knows about this, I have no right to interfere with your family affairs, but I wonder if Sect Master Ma will agree to join forces?"
Ma Rongcheng was actually thinking about it when he proposed this suggestion on Sunday, but there was only one thing that gave him a headache.
"Zhou Tian? Do you know that the city of Ban is full of women, children, old and weak people, and the only ones who can come out to fight are the city lord and his two elders, as well as those female generals with mediocre qualifications, this..."
Ma Rongcheng had just finished speaking when a rapid knock on the door suddenly came from outside.
Ma Rongcheng waved his fingers, and after the door opened, a disciple hurriedly ran in.
"metropolitan!"
Ma Rongcheng looked at this disciple with fierce eyes and said loudly: "I am discussing important matters with distinguished guests, what door are you knocking on!"
"Sect Master! There is a female general outside who claims to be from the City of Demons!"
Zhou Tian was shocked, he didn't expect the city lord to be so fast...
