"Does Junior Brother have a better candidate?" Gu Huan said.
Lin Fan shook his head.
Although Zhang Pingyuan has many bad qualities, he has no scheming intentions. If compared with others, he is pretty good. After all, no one knows how vicious those people are on the surface but secretly.
Seeing that there was no better candidate, Gu Huan was unwilling to delay, so he decided to pay attention and approached Zhang Pingyuan to discuss the new locust repellent powder.
After that, the two discussed the details of the operation and finally finalized the matter.
After Lin Fan said goodbye to Gu Huan, he quietly returned to his residence.
What Gu Huan said before leaving lingered in his ears for a long time.
"Junior brother Lin, in order to prevent this matter from getting involved with you, from now on, we will temporarily draw a clear line and stop contacting each other. When the matter is completed, I will visit you."
Ever since Jin Yan passed the letter, Senior Brother Gu Huan has been protecting himself as much as possible.
The so-called best friends are not about the length of time they have been together, but about sincere consideration for the other person.
At this moment, Gu Huan was already Lin Fan's best friend.
Senior Brother Gu went on this trip with the determination to die...
I hope the sky has eyes and bless Senior Brother Gu for a safe trip.
…
After that, Lin Fan meditated in the morning and practiced the Ming Shui Jue, and at noon he visualized the Golden Crow and practiced the Qingyang Exercise Technique.
Although his life was fulfilling, there was always someone in his heart.
But things never go as one wishes, and there has been no news from Brother Gu Huan since he left home.
There are also several junior brothers who often interact with Gu Huan, but they have also lost news recently.
Lin Fan knew that if it weren't for the fact that he and Gu Huan had drawn a clear line between each other, he had not deliberately inquired about any information about Gu Huan these days, fearing that he himself would also disappear.
However, whether monks are in retreat or traveling far away, they always use months or years as the unit. Therefore, Qingzhu Temple’s definition of disappearance is three years without any news.
However, even if it is determined that Gu Huan is missing, at most they will send people to conduct a symbolic investigation, and not much effort will be made at all.
He has seen too many things like this in the past few years.
Now, Senior Brother Gu has only not been seen for a few months, so naturally he is not considered missing.
But Lin Fan understood that Senior Brother Gu was not missing, but most likely died at the hands of the Zhang family in Guangping.
The reason is very simple. In the past few days, the news that the Zhang family has developed a new and cheap locust repellent powder has spread all over the world.
The abominable Zhang family, after getting locust repellent powder, they killed the donkey and silenced Senior Brother Gu!
Although he is determined to avenge Senior Brother Gu Huan, the Zhang family in Guangping with the presence of foundation-building monks is definitely someone he cannot afford to offend now.
He had no choice but to bury the matter deep in his heart.
One day, when he is strong enough, he will make the Zhang family's blood debt repay with blood!
…
Qinghefang.
A purple-tailed crane was flying up and down over the Qingshui River, either swooping or speeding, moving extremely nimbly while turning.
Upon closer inspection, there is a young man dressed as a scholar in white sitting on it. He is Zhang Pingyuan, a disciple of Qingzhu Temple.
He was recently blessed with this spiritual crane worth a thousand spiritual stones. When he drove it for the first time, he felt extremely happy in his heart.
After taking off the gourd and drinking a few sips of wine, I felt even more intoxicated.
"Hahaha!" A series of wild laughter floated between heaven and earth.
"唳!" After a series of difficult movements, Linghe was a little overwhelmed. After letting out a long roar, it flapped its wings and landed steadily on the river.
A middle-aged man in a yellow robe hurriedly came forward with a piece of spiritual fruit and said, "Master, you must be thirsty. Come and eat a few pieces of spiritual fruit to quench your thirst."
"Uncle Zhang Wu, there are no outsiders here, just call me by my real name." Zhang Pingyuan took a few mouthfuls of the spirit fruit, still immersed in great joy.
He was originally an unnamed collateral descendant of the Zhang family in Guangping. When the direct clan members used spiritual liquid to wash their bodies and feed on spiritual elixirs, he could only rely on his own efforts and practice hard.
Fortunately, he had excellent qualifications, and after some hard training, he was able to enter the Qingzhu Temple and became an entry-level disciple.
However, the injustice did not disappear with his efforts. As a clan member with a sixth level of Qi refining, the clan gave him only fifty spiritual stones for cultivation every year.
As for those direct descendants of the Zhang family who are only at the third level of Qi Refining, they don't have to do anything, but they enjoy the tribute of three hundred spirit stones every year.
He hates it!
I hate this breaking of rules, and I hate that I am not a direct bloodline of the Zhang family.
In the next two years, he also became more enlightened. No matter how hard he tried, he could not compete with those direct clan members, so he simply let himself go and became free and happy.
Those fellow apprentices all regarded me as a member of a drunken family.
But who knows that every night when I couldn't sleep, I struggled hard, dreaming about the day when I would become a direct descendant of the Zhang family.
Fortunately, God has not failed me and actually sent me a great opportunity a few months ago.
He still remembered the moment when he handed over the formula of the new locust repellent powder to the clan leader. That was also the first time he met the clan leader.
Apart from him, only clan elders and above could participate in that high-level meeting!
At that time, he was the center of attention and the center of attention.
Even the Great Elder, who had always looked down on him, cast an approving look at him.
Due to his great contribution to the Zhang family, his status has skyrocketed since then, and his lineage has also been promoted to the direct lineage of the Zhang family!
The clan not only gave him a purple-tailed crane recently, but also sent Uncle Zhang to take care of him.
All this happened so suddenly that he couldn't even fully adapt to it.
"Hey!" Linghe let out a low cry and looked at Zhang Pingyuan aggrievedly.
"Okay, I know you're hungry." Zhang Pingyuan gently stroked the spiritual crane, turned around and said, "Fifth uncle, bring some spiritual rice."
Uncle Zhang Wu said with some embarrassment: "Pingyuan, I was in a hurry when I came out before and forgot to prepare it. I'm going to buy it now."
Zhang Pingyuan smelled the fragrance of rice in the air, waved his hand and said: "Don't bother, there are mature spiritual rice fields nearby, which is just right for my spiritual crane to eat some fresh food."
"The nearby spiritual fields are basically owned by your senior brothers. Isn't this a bit bad?"
"What's the matter? At most, we can just compensate them with some spiritual stones."
After Zhang Pingyuan finished speaking, he carried the spirit crane and flew straight to the nearby valley.
Seeing this, Uncle Zhang Wu quickly called out Fu He and followed closely behind.
After a while, the two stopped at the entrance of Jinwu Valley.
"Just here, the fragrance of rice comes from this valley." Zhang Pingyuan pointed to the valley and said.
"Pingyuan, wait a minute, I'm going to break the ban." Uncle Zhang Wu flicked his finger, and a talisman flew out instantly and hit the light blue ban.
This is a first-level low-grade "forbidden-breaking talisman". It is naturally easy to deal with the most inferior restrictions outside the valley.
As the talisman was activated, the light blue restriction trembled suddenly and quickly disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Pingyuan slapped the crane and flew straight into the valley.
