Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 347 There is Dirty Things in Nadutong
"dirty stuff?"

The green fish bronze chariot flew slowly in the air, Lin Hai retreated, and Zhang Ze leaned on the railing and said in surprise.

Zhang Ze hadn't expected Mr. Sanbao to say that; after all, they were all cultivators. Many inexplicable things could actually be explained by insufficient cultivation. Blaming them on something dirty was a bit superstitious.

"Yes, there is definitely something dirty there." Mr. Sanbao twisted his half-white beard and emphasized to Zhang Ze again.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Ze asked.

Mr. Sanbao thought about it and started talking about another thing.

"Business is about relationships and social etiquette, but in the end, it all comes down to who has the bigger fist."

"The size of this fist depends on one's cultivation level and secondly, on one's backing." Mr. Sanbao stretched out his hand and clenched his fist. "I am just a mere Nascent Soul. If I don't improve my cultivation level in the future, then even if I smash this abacus to pieces, I won't be able to open this auction house outside of Longxu City."

“Because the business outside is from Zhendong Trading Company, the Six Sects, and the wealthy and powerful clans from all over the place.

"Although everyone has rules and doesn't do anything out of line, many things have already been clearly marked with prices. Without luck, you can't take them by force."

Zhang Ze nodded. He naturally understood this principle.

The same goes for his Qianji Pavilion.

Without the support of Jianzong and Longhushan, it would not be possible to open it so easily.

Even with the Sword Sect, they had conflicts with the weapon refiners due to the dumping of Qianji Pavilion's products.

Even though it was resolved peacefully in the end and we became a family.

But the reason why those weapon refiners were so willing to join Qianji Pavilion, apart from the miraculous weapon refining skills they got from Dandan, was probably because of the face of Longhu Mountain and Jianzong.

Since you can't resist, you might as well take off your clothes, lie down and enjoy it.

If Qianji Pavilion had no name or surname and was just a newly born sect in the mountains, it would probably have to deal with a lot of trivial matters.

Things can often be accomplished because of human relationships and going with the flow.

Zhang Ze, "Sir, what do you mean?"

"Behind Qianji Pavilion are the Six Sects, and behind Zhendong Trading Company are those demon lords in the northern border. I can gain a foothold in Longxu City thanks to the Song family." Mr. Sanbao tapped the bronze carriage railing with his fingers.

"But it's accessible everywhere?" asked Mr. Sanbao.

"The Nadutong Flying Boat Company has a long history, with branches spread all over Dongzhou. They almost monopolize the travel needs of half of the cultivators. I don't know how much wealth they have accumulated, and I suspect their foundation is not inferior to that of the Six Sects."

"Logically speaking, after all these years, even if we don't want to reach the Mahayana stage of transcending tribulation, it shouldn't be difficult to cultivate 20 to 30 masters of the Spiritual Transformation and Void Refinement realms."

"But have you two friends heard of any powerful cultivator who came from Nadutong?" asked Mr. Sanbao.

When Mr. Sanbao asked this question, before Zhang Ze could say anything, A'li burped first.

Everyone looked at A Li, thinking it had something to say.

"Burp, don't worry about me, I just burped. Maybe I choked on the wind." A Li waved his hand and snuggled into the arms of the junior sister, indicating that no one should worry about him.

It has been feeling uncomfortable ever since it swallowed the thing stuck in its throat.

Just now when I was teasing Menzi with Sanbao, it was fine and there was no reaction. But now I just feel bloating in my stomach, and even if I don’t move, I keep wanting to burp.

Zhang Ze and his junior sister didn't care. This wasn't the first time this had happened. A'li would always overeat a few times a month.

The junior sister rubbed A'li's belly and continued what Mr. Sanbao was saying.

"It seems to be true. There are such huge industries everywhere, but there has never been a great man. Why didn't I notice it before?"

"You see, that's what I meant when I said there's dirty stuff there," Mr. Sanbao continued.

"How is it possible that a family without any expert in flying boats could have inherited the art from Dongqi to this day?" Mr. Sanbao spread his hands.

"Those of us righteous cultivators disdain to do such dirty things, but those evil cultivators don't care about that.

“But the fact is that no accidents have ever happened at either the branch or the headquarters.

“Even when Dong Qi was destroyed and the world was in chaos, Nadutong was not affected at all.

"How is this possible?" Mr. Sanbao shook his head.

The little apprentice sister's eyes darted around as she glanced at Zhang Ze, then at Mr. Sanbao. "Sir, do you think it's possible that Nadutong actually has an old man hiding there who has lived from the Dongqi era until now, and it's him who's protecting Nadutong?"

Mr. Sanbao shook his head. “Even if there is, that old guy must be a dirty guy.”

"Why?" Zhang Ze asked.

Mr. Sanbao continued after hearing this.

"Let's not talk about the distant past, just recently, I had something to discuss with Nadutong a while ago, so I went to visit him at night.

"It was late at night. I had just reached the door, but before I even went in, I suddenly froze for a moment. But when I came to, I found it was already bright daylight.

"If this isn't something dirty, what is it?"

After listening to what Mr. Sanbao said, the junior sister turned to look at Zhang Ze, and the two began to make eye contact.

'What did you do back then? What did you hide in there?'

Zhang Ze shook his head.

"How would I know? Besides, Junior Sister, what makes you think I did it?"

The junior sister stared at Zhang Ze suspiciously.

"If not you, who else could it be? Tell me, did you do something bad behind my back?"

Zhang Ze looked at his junior sister speechlessly.

"When have I ever done anything bad behind your back? When have I ever done something good without thinking of you?"

The junior sister frowned slightly.

"Of course not. Back in Baiyu County, you..."

Zhang Ze quickly stopped talking.

"No one would bring up the past like you do, and you've been doing this for a little too long."

There was no conversation along the way after that. It was already night when they arrived at Longxu City. After Mr. Sanbao brought Zhang Ze and the other man into the city, he arranged a place for them to rest.

Probably because of Master Lily, Mr. Sanbao received them very attentively and specially found a cave for them in the back mountain of Longxu City.

The cave is decorated in an ancient style and has all the necessary formations and talismans, making it an excellent place for spiritual practice.

As soon as you step into it, your whole body seems to be sublimated a little. Under the influence of the formation and talismans, your mind is as calm as still water. In an instant, you lose all worldly desires and enter the best state of cultivation.

"You two young friends, please rest here for one night. Although this place is not as good as the Sword Sect, it is the best place for cultivation that we can find in Longxu City." Mr. Sanbao bowed.

"Tomorrow morning, I will take you two to visit Nadutong. I have some things to go back and take care of tonight. Goodbye."

After saying that, Mr. Sanbao took out a lot of stuff from his sleeves, including magic tools and minerals. He placed these treasures in front of A'li and then retreated.

It's a small snack for A-Li.

After Mr. Sanbao left, Zhang Ze and his junior sister looked around the cave and felt a little uncomfortable.

Mr. Sanbao probably had some misunderstandings about Qianji Pavilion or Jianzong because he hadn't traveled far for a long time.

This cave-dwelling hermit decoration style became outdated two hundred years ago.

The popular decoration style of Jianzong now is the Qianji Era style.

The residence arranged by Mr. Sanbao was too otherworldly, without any worldly desires.

But in fact, their home in Qianji Pavilion is full of worldly desires.

"Forget it. He means well. I'll just stay here for one night." Zhang Ze wanted to find a chair to sit down, but after looking around, he found that there were no chairs in the cave.

There is only a cold jade platform in the distance for people to meditate, which makes your butt freeze just by looking at it.

The junior sister looked at this plain cave and didn't like it very much. She rummaged through her treasure bag for a while and took out a beast-taming ring.

She planned to stay inside for the night.

The fact that the Beast Taming Ring can hold a person was leaked by someone, and now it is no longer a secret, so the Beast Taming Sect took advantage of the situation and came up with some new things.

They changed the packaging of the beast-taming ring and called it a portable cave.

The opposite of the beast-controlling ring, it became the people-controlling ring.

When necessary, the monk would go in to rest, and then hang this portable cave on the neck of the spirit beast, asking the spirit beast to help keep watch.

It's somewhat contrary to Tiangang, but it's indeed useful.

After completing the achievement of building a cave in a cave, Zhang Ze did not go in.

He looked at the portable cave on the ground and felt as if he had forgotten something.

"Senior brother, why don't you come in?" the younger sister asked while holding A Li.

Zhang Ze shook his head. "No, I want to go out for a walk alone. You take A Li to rest first."

The little sister nodded, and then went in with A'li, who was still suffering from stomachache. Before going in, she stuck her father's sword into the ground to serve as a sentry.

Zhang Ze walked out of the cave, and the moonlight was beautiful at that time.

He looked at the shadow cast by the giant in front of him, and then he remembered what he had forgotten.

That flying boat that goes everywhere.

After being kicked by the junior sister, the flying boat was dragged back by Mr. Sanbao. However, because Mr. Sanbao felt that there were dirty things in the Nadutong courtyard at night, he did not send the flying boat back for Zhang Ze, but parked it in front of the cave door.

At this moment, the flying boat was standing up like a tombstone, inserted into the moist soil, and constantly vibrating.

The path-finding array was severely damaged, and the earth became the sky in its eyes.

It's very poetic, but also a bit disgusting.

"There's no need to do this. It's not like it can't be repaired, and it's not like you won't pay me. I'll take you back."

After saying that, Zhang Ze carried the flying boat, identified the direction, and flew towards the Nadutong headquarters.

He planned to first find out what that dirty thing was.

The headquarters of Nadutong is located in the lake in the north of Longxu City. From the outside, there is nothing special about it. It is just an ordinary small sect. The only difference is that its backyard is full of flying boats.

I don’t know if there is a ban or if it is really as Mr. Sanbao said, this place is not clean, but it is very quiet at night, which is in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle in the city.

No one came near, and no one came out.

Zhang Ze circled three times in the sky above Nadutong, but no Lao Deng came out to stop him.

After thinking about it, he decided not to go in directly. Instead, he carried the flying boat to the gate of Nadutong. After hesitating for a moment, he went forward and knocked on the door.

"Is anyone there? I'm here to return the flying boat." Zhang Ze asked.

There was no response from behind the door. Zhang Ze waited for a long time. Seeing that there was really no one there, he sighed, stepped quickly, and climbed over the wall with the flying boat.

"Excuse me, is there anyone to greet me? I'm here to return the flying boat." Zhang Ze shouted again while carrying the flying boat.

Zhang Ze's voice echoed in the moonlight, but still no one responded.

The broken flying boat also became quiet at this time, no longer making any sound.

I didn’t encounter the kind of ghost wall that Mr. Sanbao described, but the appearance of this deserted city is also creepy.

"Is there really something dirty there..."

Although Zhang Ze said this, he did not leave. Instead, he found a place to park the flying boat and walked further inside.

But after walking for a while, he stopped again.

Zhang Ze looked at the layout of the Nadutong headquarters and always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

“This place feels so familiar.”

His figure flashed and appeared in the air, looking down at the layout of the Nadutong headquarters. After looking for a long time, he suddenly tilted his head, and then the whole person stood upside down in the air.

Only then did I realize where that strange sense of familiarity came from.

The layout of the backyard of Nadutong's headquarters is 80% similar to the mansion he had in Baiyu County back then, except that many places are reversed.

Just like a mirror.

"Huh? Could it really be me who came up with this idea?"

Falling from the sky, Zhang Ze began to search courtyard by courtyard.

Although he acted like a thief, he did not hide his whereabouts.

In fact, Zhang Ze really hoped that two strong security guards would suddenly jump out from the corner and ask him where he came from and where he was going. At least this would make him feel much more at ease.

But there was nothing there, it was deserted everywhere, without a trace of life.

Walking forward, Zhang Ze unknowingly arrived at the kitchen. He pushed the door open and was stunned for a moment.

The situation in this kitchen is different from outside. It is not deserted, but full of the smell of life.

The kitchen was filled with smoke, as if someone had just started a fire. Zhang Ze opened the steamer, reached in and touched it, and found that the bun inside was still warm.

Zhang Ze frowned slightly. "Could it be that everyone in Nadutong just disappeared in an instant? Or is it that the place I'm in now is not the Nadutong headquarters, but a place similar to the mirror space?"

The more Zhang Ze thought about it, the more he felt something was right, because this was not the first time this had happened.

He has a very troublesome physique and always encounters some strange things whenever he goes out. He is used to things like falling into a pit after walking a few steps.

Putting down the steamer, Zhang Ze reached into his pocket and took out a small walnut.

First, make sure you can communicate with the outside world.

Zhang Ze looked at the contacts on Xiaohetao and began to figure out who to harass.

Junior sister should be resting, so it’s better not to disturb her.

Brother Feng is still doing something important, and he might be wandering in some secret place. There is no point in disturbing him.

Bai Tao and Lady Li are not allowed. If you harass them, you will be asked to update.

Old Tang? Old Tang is not an option either. The Taoist priest is probably having a foot bath at Shui Hui Fang right now, so it's inconvenient to disturb him.

After much thought, Zhang Ze decided to harass Lily.

She should be more free.

Qianji Pavilion.

At this time, Lily changed her appearance, dressed up as a receptionist, put on a tail, and followed behind Her Majesty the Cat Girl.

Although Lily was beaten, she still had evil intentions and still thought that the twin-tailed Kamikaze Special Attack Force had great potential.

A few beatings are just tests on the road to success.

After strengthening her belief, Lily regrouped and set out again.

She planned to sneak into the Qianji Pavilion's beast control base, steal the flesh and bones, and find a secret base to cultivate twenty twin-tailed originals, and then start her own journey to the kingship.

In order to ensure the success of this operation, Lily not only changed her appearance, but also found help.

As for why she was looking for His Majesty the Cat Girl, it wasn't because Lily had such a keen eye that she discovered His Majesty's true identity, but because after searching around, Lily discovered that only this stupid Cat Girl was the easiest to control and wouldn't tell on anyone.

"Boss, will you really give me fifty spirit stones after this is done?" Her Majesty the Cat Lady was still a little worried, so she turned around and asked.

Lily, "Don't worry, I, Lily, never break my promise."

After getting the promise, Her Majesty the Cat Girl felt relieved. She pretended to be a delivery employee of Zhased and took Lily to the Beastmaster Sect's headquarters.

Her Majesty the Cat Lady was extremely lucky and she quickly strolled in with Lily.

Seeing that success was just around the corner, Lily couldn't help but feel excited. But just as she was about to touch the future, the little walnut in her arms made a sound.

Lily's heart tightened, and before she could check, she heard a dog barking in the distance.

It’s Maomao.

The yellow flash of Qianji Pavilion arrived in an instant and knocked Lily to the ground. All disguises were meaningless in the face of Maomao's enthusiasm. After only a moment, Lily's disguise was licked clean by Maomao.

The tail was also plucked off.

There were three more dog barks. Shadows were scattered on the wall under the moonlight. Countless little gay girls stood on the wall, posing in various powerful poses.

"Ah, Lily is here! Catch her!"

Lily tried to escape, but she couldn't.

All at once, the sounds of tentacles whipping, Lily begging for mercy, and Maomao's cheerful barking filled the air.

Her Majesty the Cat Girl stood aside, looking at the chaotic yard, raised her hand and wanted to speak, but she could not get a word in.

"Fifty spirit stones. Don't forget."

No one pays attention to her
Her Majesty the Cat Girl's voice was quickly drowned out by the little fujoshi.

Perhaps she was used to being ignored, so the cat lady thought for a moment and left the yard.

Go home and sleep.

Lily's little walnut fell to the ground and was stepped on by Maomao or that little gay girl. With a beep, Zhang Ze's call was connected.

Dragon's beard mouth.

Zhang Ze held the small walnut and listened to the chaotic noise coming from the other side. After thinking for a while, he decided not to ask too many questions.

He hung up the phone and put the walnut back in his pocket.

Lily's sacrifice was worth it. At least Zhang Ze was sure that he did not accidentally enter any strange dungeon map this time.

But to be safe, Zhang Ze used his escape technique to go to the night market in Longxu City.

A moment later, he returned to Nadutong's courtyard with a cup of milk tea.

"Well, there is no confinement array here."

But since this is not a Jedi, where did all those people go?

Zhang Ze thought about it and felt that his efficiency was really low if he searched alone.

Zhang Ze raised his hand and cast a spell, and his five golden pills appeared and circled around Zhang Ze on the ground.

"Go, look around and see if there's anyone alive here."

Zhang Ze ordered while slurping his milk tea.
