The lord is always dishonest [Transmigration Book]

The person who spoke was Old Wei.

Holding a rattan wooden box covered with a black cloth in his arms, he walked in slowly from the apse, accompanied by Xie Shen, who was wearing a gold-rimmed robe with a black background, standing there expressionlessly, with an imposing manner Bitter.

Seeing them, the people below were silent for a moment, and soon became noisy again.

"Old man Zhoumu? Isn't Qi Zhao his disciple? Besides, Xie Shen, who will believe that there is no ghost behind this?"

"That's right, but things can't be done this way. The test is based on each person's ability. What's the point of cheating later?"

"And isn't this the trial of Phoenix City? What's the matter with Wanjing City intervening? No, this matter has to be clarified, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."

"..."

Xie Shen's gaze was indifferent, and with a slight flick of his sleeves, the thunderous coercion fell straight down, and the uproarious voices just now suddenly disappeared.

Although everyone was silent, their eyes were still unconvinced. Seeing this, the Great Elder of Planting Spirit Hall stood up and said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone. Of course, my Phoenix City Trial will not violate my conscience. If you have any doubts, You might as well listen to what Old Man Zhoumu said."

Wei Zhoumu opened his mouth immediately after his words fell: "Everyone is dissatisfied with the results of the Phoenix City Trial, it's just because Qi Zhao's rank is low, but the rank assessment is only once a year, and sometimes it doesn't match. Up."

"You mean to say that in less than two months after the end of the assessment, his spiritual power can go from the second level to at least the fifth level?"

Immediately someone opened his mouth, his tone full of doubt and ridicule.

There was also a burst of boos behind him, obviously in disbelief.

Wei Zhoumu smiled, but did not respond directly, and slowly put his fingers on the black cloth at hand, "I also have something to say when I come here this time, and everyone knows that the one with the highest spirit in the world of floating life is Fu Yicheng. Bamboo and wood with white patterns, eight layers of Yunling, but now, that is already a thing of the past."

The people at the bottom were stunned, meaning...the grass and trees on the eighth, ninth or tenth floors of Yunling were born?

Impossible, everyone thought.Even if the ranks are the same after crossing the spirit, the original spirit of the grass and trees must be at least [-]%, but there is no such thing as high-level grass and trees that do not lose their spirit after crossing the spirit. Doesn't that mean that the grass and trees have [-]% of the spirit?

It's a joke.

If the person who said this was not the old man Zhoumu, there must be a lot of people making sarcastic remarks now.

Seeing the doubts of the people below, Wei Zhoumu shook his head and said nothing more. With a movement of his fingers, he removed the black cloth covering the rattan wooden box.

The rattan wooden box was hollowed out, and with the withdrawal of the black cloth, the vegetation inside appeared in front of everyone bit by bit.

The color is golden, the branches are like dragon teeth, and the leaves have needles at the tail, covered with short lines, like scales.

And at the moment when the grass and trees were completely clear, golden light ignited all over its body, and in the warmth and warmth, there was a vigorous and surging spiritual power spreading to all directions, enveloping the entire Lingling Hall. Mellow warmth.

The ninth layer of Yunling belongs to the dragon tooth grass.

No one made a sound, and stared blankly at the dragon tooth grass above which exuded a warm light.

They have focused on cultivating since they were young. From childhood to now, for more than ten or decades, they have hoped countless times that they can cultivate the highest-level spiritual plants, and they have lived up to their hard work.Now such a spiritual plant appeared in front of them, even if it was not owned by them, it was still full of passion.

This road is very bitter, and it is all because of faith that I can endure it all the time.

The depths of everyone's eyes were full of heat, and the surroundings were silent. After a long period of silence, some people came back to their senses, and it was the one who spoke first.

"It's a good thing to have a spiritual plant with a higher level of spirituality, but what we're asking for now is an explanation. Could it be that this dragon tooth grass is the one who crossed the spirit?"

Hearing his words, the people on the side also reacted and agreed.

But looked at Elder Wei and smiled with pride in his eyes, "You're right, this dragon tooth grass was indeed created by the little disciple Qi Zhao crossing the spirit."

It was quiet for a while.

"Impossible, there are eight powers of the seventh rank in the Floating Life Realm, who have been immersed for half their lives, and the highest is only the eighth rank of Fu Lao's Yunling. Can it support the ninth-floor Duling?"

"I met him during the assessment of the Planting Spirit Hall before. At that time, his technique was still very jerky. It's only been two months now. Isn't this a joke?"

"Yeah, that's ridiculous."

At this time, someone saw Qi Zhao in the crowd, and while speaking sarcastically, he looked at him, with disdain and suspicion in his eyes.

Yuan Qi is a protector, standing in front of Qi Zhao, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, how can it be impossible, the way of Master Lingzhi is originally for the patriarch to enjoy the food, you are not talented enough to do it, and don't think that others are no. "

These words are undoubtedly poking at the hearts of many people.

After Motozaki yelled at them, he remembered that Qi Zhao hadn't spoken from the beginning to the end, so he looked over, and felt his eyes hurt instantly.

The people behind him didn't listen to what other people said at all, they looked at Xie Shen's eyes from a distance above, and there was a delicate light in their eyes, soft and cool, exactly the same as Xie Shen's.

Yuanzaki: "..."

Yuan Qi couldn't help him, so he reached out and poked his waist.

Qi Zhao came back to his senses: "Huh? What's the matter?"

Yuan Qi pointed forward feebly, and Qi Zhao realized that the people in front of him were not looking at him very friendly.

Such a smile is undoubtedly ridiculed and provocative in the eyes of everyone.

Someone in the crowd said coldly: "Anyway, I don't believe it. The old man Zhoumu only has one disciple. Maybe it's to pave the way for him, so after he crossed his soul, he put his name on Qi Zhao. .”

This is to say that Wei Zhoumu is deceiving.

Qi Zhao's eyes suddenly turned cold. How can a person who has been frank and frank for most of his life, who has no dust in his body, be so criticized by others?

He pursed his lips, didn't say anything, glanced at the crowd lightly, then turned and went up the vine-wood steps. Wei Lao watched him come up with a smile, his eyes still peaceful, and said softly, "You are my pride."

Qi Zhao bowed to him seriously, and then walked in front of the Dragon Tooth Grass, the spiritual power accumulated in his palm directly fell down, the branches and leaves of the Dragon Tooth Grass shone brightly, and three seconds later, the spiritual power all over his body suddenly ignited like a fire When he got up, he was intertwined with the light of Qi Zhao's spiritual power, which was dazzling.

Spiritual resonance.

Only when Lingzhi, who crosses the spirit with his own hands, is extremely friendly, can there be harmony and resonance.

People can lie, but Cao Mu's reaction cannot be faked.

The surroundings became silent again, and everyone's eyes were full of disbelief.

Qi Zhao saluted Elder Wei again, went down the wooden steps, and walked towards the person who spoke just now step by step. The people around him subconsciously made way for him, Qi Zhao stopped, and faced the person directly. Human eyes, "Apologize."

The man's face turned blue and pale, and he didn't speak for a long time. Finally, he finally spoke, but his mouth was still stiff, "I still don't believe it. Who knows if you have done something behind your back?"

He has been a spiritual plant master for more than 20 years before he became the fourth rank. This road has to be endured, and it is not easy for others to walk. He has always known it, so there is nothing to say.

But someone is so lucky that he was favored by the old man Zhoumu and the city master Wanjing when he first came. He obviously didn't see how hard he worked, but he easily achieved an achievement that others might not be able to achieve in his entire life.

He was not reconciled.

How can you be willing?

He was angry in his heart, but he didn't see the change in the way the people around him looked at him.

The spiritual resonance is enough to explain the matter, and it is still not relentless. It is obvious that the mentality is wrong. Whether it is jealousy or something, the Dao heart is not stable, how long can this road go?

The last bit of warmth disappeared from Qi Zhao's eyes. He took a step back, and the vines of Yunxu vines appeared around him in an instant. He lowered his eyes, and said in a calm voice, "Come on."

Impressively, I will beat you if you refuse to accept.

Yuan Qi sighed in his heart that the little sheep was very imposing when he was angry, and seeing that the man didn't speak, he raised his eyebrows, "You don't believe me, so why don't you come to the competition first, anyway, your rank is two ranks higher than Qi Zhao, what are you afraid of? "

The man's lips moved, as if he was a little scared, but Qi Zhao didn't give him a chance to back down, and the vines were already filled with light.

He gritted his teeth and called out the blood vein vines, "Come on!"

After the letter fell, he watched the pale golden vines volley down. Qi Zhao saw him as extremely unpleasant because of his previous criticism of Wei Lao, so he didn't hold back at all. The light on the Yunxu vine seemed to be burning, suddenly Falling towards that person.

The majestic spiritual power spread around, everyone only saw a touch of gold quickly passing in front of them, and then heard a loud noise in their ears.

The man's blood vines were crushed to the ground helplessly, his face was pale and he coughed while clutching his chest, his body was on the verge of falling.

The fourth-rank spirit planter couldn't even make it through the hands of someone two levels lower than him.

Everyone was silent, watching quietly, Qi Zhao took a step forward, pointed the tip of the branch and leaf of Yunxu vine towards the man's throat, and said expressionlessly, "Apologize."

The man's eyes were full of pupils, and he had no doubt that if he still refused, Qi Zhao would really dare to pierce his throat.

He gritted his teeth, and for a long time, struggled to squeeze out three words, "I'm sorry."

After the final word was pronounced, Qi Zhao retracted the vines and looked down at him with a very low voice.

"You can't, and don't think that other people are the same as you."

Motozaki said the same thing before, at the time he only felt angry, but now Qi Zhao said it so softly, without any sarcasm in his tone, but it made people feel unprecedented embarrassment.

The man lowered his head and said nothing.

Qi Zhao never looked at him again, and retreated to Yuan Qi's side, his brows and eyes were still warm, but now no one dared to underestimate him.

Taking into account the changes in the attitudes of the subordinates before and after, Wei Zhoumu smiled with satisfaction. Today's affairs are all under his control. The important link lies here with Qi Zhao.

If he hadn't acted today, others would have coveted rather than feared, but now it's different.

After taking this step, from now on, Qi Zhao in Wanjingcheng will no longer be that unknown person who lives in Sajin Street.

It's still because he has a good vision, and the little apprentice just strives for success.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhoumu smiled again, and glanced at Xie Shen beside him, only to see that the corners of Xie Shen's lips curved slightly, and his eyes were fixed on Qi Zhao, so tender that he was about to soak in water.

Young people are really nasty.

Wei Zhoumu sighed, and sent a voice transmission to the Great Elder of Zhiling Palace. Hearing this, the Great Elder stroked his beard and said, "So, does anyone have any objections?"

No one said a word.

"Since there are no objections, the ranking of this trial will be determined as such. The top [-] will go to the Planting Spirit Hall to receive rewards later. But before that, I have one more thing to announce."

The crowd looked at him.

"The rank assessment is held once a year, no matter what the spiritual power is, you can only be promoted to the first rank, but you have also seen it just now, this is unreasonable, Zhiling Temple has been stuck in the past for several years, it is time to make changes, so—"

The Great Elder stood up, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said word by word, "From now on, the rank assessment and promotion will not be restricted. As long as you have enough ability, you can jump up the rank!"

The rank assessment of the Planting Spirit Hall in the Floating Life Realm has not changed for thousands of years. This is undoubtedly a major event, especially in the traditionally conservative Phoenix City.

This is a good thing for Master Lingzhi. Everyone did not object, but some people in Zhiling Temple changed their faces.

The situation in Phoenix City is complicated. The Elder's Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion in the Planting Spirit Hall have their own forces. The Great Elder belongs to the City Lord's Mansion faction. This matter has not been discussed with anyone before.

The people at the Elder's Mansion were naturally unwilling, so they made a gesture to the side. Immediately, someone said, "This is a big matter. The Planting Spirit Hall has no right to make the decision completely. It still needs the consent of the city lord to comply with the rules."

They had clearly learned about Nie Pan's disappearance from the Elder's Mansion, so they had nothing to worry about.

The Great Elder smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Owning the Phoenix Token means that you can be the City Lord. Now the Phoenix Token is in the hands of City Lord Xie. I discussed it with him and agreed."

Everyone looked at Xie Shen, and they saw the red gold Phoenix Token on his waist.

This is in line with the rules, everyone nodded, and the speaker saw that it was useless to talk about the rules, so he quickly changed his mind, "Even with the Phoenix Order, there is still a difference between Phoenix City and Wanjing City. For such a major matter, it is not appropriate for City Lord Xie to decide on his behalf?"

As he said that, many people around him agreed.

Seeing that the rhythm was picking up, the third elder of Planting Spirit Hall said unhurriedly: "This is also true, it is better to let this matter go first, and it will not be too late to talk about it when City Lord Nie comes back. I—"

Having said that, he was suddenly interrupted.

"Don't wait."

The door of the main hall was slowly pushed open at this moment, and everyone looked over at the same time. Someone walked in from the door calmly. The red gold robe was like flames, the eyebrows were open, and the peach blossom eyes were raised wantonly.

It's Nie Pan.

Everyone bowed and saluted together, "Master Nie."

Nie Pan nodded, his eyes circled around, and his tone was casual, "Who said I disagree?"

He fixed his eyes on the third elder and raised his eyebrows, "Is that you?"

The Third Elder's eyes were dark. He heard what the Elder's Mansion meant, and it was clear that Nie Pan would not come back in all likelihood. He was just dragging his time before, but now... there is no way to save him.

He walked down and cupped his hands, "Don't dare, I was just a little worried before and wanted to be more secure. Since you agree, I will naturally support it."

Nie Pan smiled, "Since that's the case, that's the best, and then post the notice, and the rules are set like this."

The elder agreed.

Nie Pan stopped giving others a chance to speak, and waved his hand, "Let's go."

The people who came to participate in the trial walked out with the people from the Temple of Planting Spirits. Soon, the people from the Temple of Planting Spirits also went to busy with their own affairs, and there were only a few people left in the hall.

The smile on Nie Pan's face sank little by little, and he rubbed his eyebrows wearily, "It's really troublesome."

Xie Shen glanced at him calmly, took off the Phoenix Token on his waist and threw it over, Nie Pan put it away, and smiled, "It feels good to have someone take care of things for me."

Qi Zhao gave him a disdainful look, and walked up to Elder Wei, who was talking to the First Elder, he listened for a while, and roughly understood it.

It's actually a deal today.

The Great Elder had long been worried about the strict rules and regulations of the Planting Spirit Hall, but the power of the Elder's Mansion was too deep to find an opportunity for a while.Elder Wei approached him, and spread Qi Zhao's reputation through the time he spent in Zhiling Hall after the trial. The price was to help the Great Elder change the situation.

It's not a price to say, after all, Mr. Wei and Mr. Fu also felt that the current rules are too rigid, and it is a good thing to change them.

After hearing what they said, Qi Zhao blinked his eyes, only to feel that the water behind it was really too deep.

He quietly approached Xie Shen, smiled softly like a small animal, Xie Shen looked at him with soft eyes, reached out his hand under the sleeve, and gently held his hand.

In front were Elder Wei and the First Elder, and next to them were Nie Pan, Yuan Qi and Qin Wan. Qi Zhao's palms were moist, a little shy, but more joyful.

He felt that he and Xie Shen were very similar to the love they had when they were studying. They carefully held each other's palms together in front of others, and then lowered their heads and smiled.

Youthful and beautiful, Qi Zhao didn't experience it when he was studying, and he was already past his best age when he met Xie Shen, but that feeling was not lacking at all.

Xie Shen gave it all to him.

Qi Zhao secretly smiled, leaning into Xie Shen's ear, "Xie Shen."

"Ok?"

"like you."

Xie Shen was stunned for a moment, his ears turned red suddenly, his eyes were still soft, he hummed, and there was something wrong in his heart, feeling that his little fool was suddenly so good at teasing, he might not be able to hold it back if he didn't try harder.

Qi Zhao didn't know what was going on in his heart, but saw his red ear tips, smiled and blew there, "Are you shy?"

Xie Shen narrowed his eyes, didn't speak, turned his head and kissed Qi Zhao on the lips.

A superficial kiss passed over his lips, Qi Zhao paused, and there was one more shy person in an instant.

Seeing their flirting, Yuan Qi and Qin Wan felt that they were going to be blind, so they left first. Nie Pan clicked his tongue, "Enough is enough for you."

Qi Zhao lowered his head, Xie Shen looked at him expressionlessly.

Nie Pan: "..."

It's not that I don't give you a kiss, you see what I do.

The person who was angered feels innocent and spreads his hands to express that he cannot be offended.

Elder Wei and the First Elder over there finished talking, and walked towards Qi Zhao. Qi Zhao hurriedly walked over to answer, "Teacher, are you going back?"

"It's time to come back. I'm getting old and sleepy in the afternoon." Wei Lao smiled, looked at Qi Zhao as if he was looking at his own child, and after a while, reached out and rubbed his soft hair, " You make me proud."

Qi Zhao smiled with his eyes bent, his eyes were clean and pure.Seeing this, Old Wei's eyes became softer, "The old man will leave first, I think you young people won't be able to leave for a while, it doesn't matter, take your time."

As he spoke, intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at the place where Qi Zhao and Xie Shen held hands.

Qi Zhao smiled embarrassedly, but did not let go.

Old Wei frowned slightly, didn't speak any more, waved his hands, and went back to the Phoenix Inn with the dragon tooth grass and green vine leaves in his arms.

After he left, Qi Zhao and Xie Shen looked at each other with a smile, and then turned to Nie Pan, "The Zhou Ze I told you before is now in the back hall of Zhiling Temple, and he hasn't woken up yet. Do you want to go and see? By the way about your disappearance."

"It's nothing to worry about, it's good to have a look." Nie Pan said.

Qi Zhao and Xie Shen took him to a room on the left side of the apse. Zhou Ze was still sleeping peacefully on the couch. Nie Pan walked over slowly and opened the bed curtain, "I want to Look at what an important person it is to make you so on—”

The following words came to an abrupt end when he saw clearly the face of the person on the couch.

Nie Pan froze, his fingers trembling, lightly touched Zhou Ze's cheek, the indifferent expression on his face disappeared, and his eyes were filled with mixed emotions, deeply sinking.

Knowing it or not, there is no need to say at this time.

Qi Zhao stood at the back and didn't bother him, so I don't know how long it took before Nie Pan put down the bed curtain, tried his best to keep his fingers from trembling, turned his head, and Qi Zhao saw that his eyes were a little red.

"Where... did you find him?"

Nie Pan asked, his voice trembling.

Qi Zhao told him the situation when he met Zhou Ze twice. Hearing this, Nie Pan's eyes darkened, "He has been hunted down? Someone with a black phoenix pattern on his back?"

Qi Zhao nodded, "It's exactly the same as the phoenix pattern on Zhou Ze's chest, but the color is different."

Nie Pan pursed his lips. Although he didn't say anything, Qi Zhao could tell that he probably knew something.

After being silent for a while, Nie Pan's gloom became a little more serious, and he sat down behind the table slumped, "Some things, anyway, it's time to say it now. I do know what's going on with this black phoenix pattern. With this time of leaving without saying goodbye..."

"It's all related to these."
