Cultivation Of Coders

Chapter 688 Reverse flattery? [Additional update on the 108th]

At this moment, the grand reception in the main hall was different from the grand reception that Zhang Deming had expected. There were only Dang Xiangjun and a few disciples serving him. They were receiving a four-person team headed by two people.

The configuration is quite luxurious for the Heavenly Spirit Sect. The two leaders of the Five Elements Major Cultivation Team, and the other two also have the Cultivation of Four Symbols and Three Lives.

Just talking about this battle, taking the opportunity to attend the promotion ceremony just for Zhang Deming's review can be said to have given Heavenly Spirit Sect enough face and expressed the importance it attaches to its direct subordinate units.

When Zhang Deming floated over, he attracted the attention of everyone chatting, and they all looked over.

When he saw Zhang Deming, Zhou Liao stood up first and said enthusiastically: "Uncle, you are here. Come, let me introduce to you. This is Ding Shijing and Ding Xuanyou.

Senior Ding and our sect are quite familiar with each other. Senior Ding was also the one who reviewed my promotion as Supreme Elder, so we have a deep connection. "

The Ding Shijing introduced by Zhou Liao seemed to be quite young. The young man was slightly more mature, not a middle-aged uncle.

Image-wise, the facial lines are too weakened and look a little gloomy, with a little bit of arrogance. Considering that it was an overhaul of the Blessed Land, it was probably normal.

Hearing this, Zhang Deming saluted him and said, "I, Zhang Deming, have met Fellow Daoist Ding."

Following Zhang Deming's words, he found that the four people were looking at him, constantly looking at him, their eyes were a little strange, strange? respect? Keep it at arm's length? It's a bit complicated anyway.

Ding Shijing looked at Zhang Deming and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang is really like a thunderbolt. I have been to almost all of the six majors under my Bailingfudi banner, and I am quite knowledgeable.

But it can make the entire lay people, and even the low-level monks, set up longevity tablets, light longevity lamps, erect countless monuments, and worship him as a saint in temples everywhere. This is the first time I have seen him. "

"Shame, shame, I was a little younger back then, I did things based on my heart, and my likes depended on my preferences. The sect was also very tolerant to me, and it turned out to be like this. It's really shameful!" Zhang Deming said with a face filled with shame.

Without waiting for Ding Shijing to say anything, the Five Elements monk who was traveling with him intervened: "That's why I really admire Fellow Daoist.

Fellow Daoist not only has great merits, but the spirit in his chest is as vast and broad as the sea and hundreds of rivers, and he is also upright and awe-inspiring. I really admire him! If a Fellow Daoist practices calligraphy, he may be able to see the birth of Haoyang. "

"This is Senior Sima Wanping!" Zhou Liao introduced promptly.

Zhang Deming immediately bowed and said, "Sima Fellow Daoist is so complimentary. I really don't deserve it."

While speaking, he looked at Sima Wanping at the same time. He was wearing a long green shirt, with one hand on his back and the other hand holding a folding fan in front of his abdomen. He was dressed as a counselor and had a goatee, which made his slightly young face look a little more mature.

Such an image does not look like that of a passionate young man. I don’t know if I really thought so just now, or if it was just commercial flattery.

But judging from the other party's identity, if it were flattery, the flattery would be a bit enthusiastic. To be precise, these people are a little enthusiastic about him.

After all, they should be the superiors. They shouldn't be so enthusiastic if they don't put on airs and airs, right? This made Zhang Deming a little confused for a while and he didn't understand the situation.

"This is not ridiculous. If I hadn't come to Heavenly Spirit Sect in person, I would never have imagined such a scene." Sima Wanping said.

"Ashamed, really ashamed." Zhang Deming replied modestly.

In this way, with the arrival of Zhang Deming, the scene did not become colder, but became more lively. The faint arrogance of the two Five Elements Daxiu quietly dissipated.

What Zhang Deming originally thought was a reception that was about watching people serve food, turned out to be something weird. Several people were enthusiastic about him throughout the process, which made Zhang Deming a little confused.

······

"I wonder how the two patrols reviewed Uncle Master?" After a long time, Zhou Liao saw that the atmosphere was almost gone and asked.

Everyone paused slightly and looked at the cruising quartet.

Ding Shijing hesitated for a moment and said: "Although based on the information I have learned, it can be said that Fellow Daoist Zhang is a man of great virtue, but... I still need the information about your sect and take a closer look."

"This is common sense. You two can look it up casually after your tour." Zhou Liao replied without hesitation.

Ding Shijing nodded and said: "In this case, if there is no problem, there will be no problem on our side. We, the two senior brothers, are here to participate in the installation ceremony."

"What about entering a blessed land for further study..." Zhou Liao asked hesitantly.

This is a custom in the Sacred Land for cultivating spirits. Senior leaders of subordinate units, such as Supreme Elders and above, need to go to the Sacred Land for further studies before assuming their positions.

Generally speaking, this is a process, it just takes a walk around. The time will only last a few years or ten years at most, which is just a formality. This function is to strengthen the closeness of subordinates to their superiors and increase cohesion.

Ding Shijing turned his head and looked at Sima Wanping. Sima Wanping said hesitantly: "This... we will give you a reply after we have read the information.

However, judging from the life of Fellow Daoist, the sect should hope that Fellow Daoist will stay in the blessed land for a few more years. There are not many talented and virtuous people like Fellow Daoist nowadays, and the sect should be looking forward to it. "

"That's good, that's good!" Zhou Liao said happily.

The reason why he was happy was that he could stay here for a few more years, not tens or hundreds of years. Going to Sacred Land for further study is not just for fun, it has tons of benefits.

It can be regarded as a reward from the Blessed Land to major visitors, a selective high-level benefit. With each additional year of further study in the blessed land, the more things you will enjoy. But they usually come back within a few years, with some lasting only more than ten years, and rarely more than 20 years.

Because this really costs a lot of money, and in a short period of time it is a benefit to win over and get closer to the units that come to you. As time goes by, the blessed land will be overwhelmed.

After all, it was at least the Four Symbols Major Cultivation that I went to. Is it possible for people with this level of cultivation to be eager to further their studies?

Zhang Deming also knows this and has certain expectations for it.

Things seemed to go quite smoothly, so everyone chatted happily and left after a long time.

······

After dealing with the four people and sending them down to settle down, Zhang Deming was still a little confused. He looked at Zhou Liao and asked: "Did these people take the wrong medicine? Why do I feel like I am the leader who came to inspect? Such enthusiasm, so different from the counter-insurance You're trying to flatter me, is there something wrong with you?"

Several elders were stunned, looking at Zhang Deming who was full of confusion and confusion, all looked strange and their lips twitched.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said? After all, they are also touring the blessed land. They are a little arrogant and even put on some airs. Is it normal?

No matter how bad it is, you still have to pay attention to your status when you go to the blessed land. Now like this... what is this? Currying favor with subordinates? Zhang Deming asked with confusion on his face.

Zhou Liao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Master seems to be really virtuous and respected!"

Mr. Dang Xiangjun also nodded and said: "The state of such a great virtue without knowing it is what makes us most ashamed!"

"What the hell? What are you talking about!" Zhang Deming didn't understand what these people were saying. He looked at them as if they were playing riddles and was a little confused.

Fan Yunfei, who rarely spoke, also shook his head and said, "Uncle Master, please come and visit us when you have time. You will know why they have this attitude."

Zhang Deming said blankly: "You mean Zhang Saint? I know this. Does this have anything to do with today's situation?"

Zhou Liao shook his head with a wry smile again and said: "Uncle Master, this is different from the story in the story. You can make people crazy by showing up in the world.

Take a walk around the circle of our ordinary people, no, just low-level monks. Apart from anything else, admiration for my uncle is absolutely indispensable. No normal person would have any evil thoughts towards his uncle! "

Dang Xiangjun also answered: "Besides these, does Uncle Master know what it means to be virtuous and respected? Since the new spell was launched, I, Hongmeng, have achieved great success in Taoism. Needless to say, after entering the Soul Formation, people like Uncle Master have become extinct.

But for people like Uncle Master...basic respect will still be given. At least the prestigious sects will definitely treat Uncle Master well and warmly welcome guests. "

Zhang Deming: "······"

Celebrity effect?

Those guys just now were not just fans, but at least admirers?

After Zhang Deming understood the situation, he was speechless for a while. His label... was really...

He shook his head speechlessly and said, "That's it, let's let it go!"

As he spoke, he floated away. Several people looked at Zhang Deming's back and smiled sincerely. It is truly a blessing from heaven to have Zhang Sheng in the heavenly spirit. It is a blessing that can only come from the virtues accumulated by the martyrs of the past dynasties!

······

The next day, Zhang Deming got up early in the morning and came outside the courtyard. He found that a group of disciples were already waiting. They were not the disciples outside his building, but disciples from various departments.

Among them, there are especially many etiquette departments, including process managers, wardrobe managers, etiquette managers, etc. It gives Zhang Deming a headache.

It seems that this sect with a long history is not a good thing. There are too many conventions in a ceremony, which is a waste of time.

"I've seen Master Uncle!"

"I have seen the ancestor!"

"I've met Master!"

"······"

Zhang Deming took a deep breath, looked at the disciples who were greeting him, and said, "Okay, I'm an old man. It seems that I'm going to be torn apart by you today. Who comes first?"

Seeing Zhang Deming's expression of resignation, several disciples who were already familiar with Zhang Deming raised the corners of their mouths slightly, wanting to smile. Fortunately, he still had some sense of control. Before he could laugh, he suppressed his smile with a straight face.

Yang Hongjun was the first to speak: "Our clothing, appearance and etiquette department will start first. After you finish it, uncle, we will go to the process and etiquette department. Finally, we will go to the customs and customs department to deal with some details. You will make your debut around noon. .

Although we have practiced before and you have cooperated with me, Master, time is a bit tight, so we should hurry up! "

Zhang Deming looked like he was on the execution ground and said, "Okay, I'll let you handle it today. This is the last time. No matter who wants to do anything in the future, they won't be able to trick an old man into agreeing to such a headache."

Several disciples snickered a little when they heard this, and several female disciples from the etiquette department even glanced at Zhang Deming with flashing eyes.

Suddenly, they discovered that their Tianling Saint Zhang actually had such a cute side. He went directly from a legendary person to a living person, which makes people like him more and more!

What should I do? I have fallen in love with the master of my sect. Is this marriage still possible? !

······

While Zhang Deming was being kneaded by the disciples of the Ministry of Etiquette, the assembly on the other side had already begun to enter.

This time, Heavenly Spirit Sect did not choose the conventional special entrance method, and did not even use any array method to attract everyone to the entrance. Instead, they used the oldest and most common entrance method, and sang and sang in one by one. field.

Because there were so many people, they were notified at different times to enter, so everyone was not allowed to queue up together.

"Liu Hong gave birth to the Liu family and gave him a pair of white jade..."

"The Koizumi family, I would like to give you a long sword..."

"The Ancient Language Gate presents a strange book..."

Based on the information, many people came to attend the meeting and heard the disciples singing from far away. The person who relayed the singing and shouting was obviously a cultivator.

As the time went on, the status of the monks who entered became higher and higher, and as it gradually approached noon, the powerful forces began to appear.

"Is this a singing ceremony? Why is this Heavenly Spirit Sect conference so retro?" In the crowd of the Bai family, two old men in the Four Elephants stage, the leader of which was Bai Zhikui, suddenly said.

Another old man, Bai Guangsen, frowned and said: "There is news in the past few days that Zhang Deming, the supreme elder, is the reincarnation of the ancient Zhang family. It should be Zhang Deming's wish. After all, people from the ancient family, according to the Ancient rituals are now normal.”

"Is the news confirmed to be true?" Bai Zhikui asked.

Bai Guangsen nodded and said: "It must be true. The Bailingfu Land review team arrived yesterday and has not left yet. Apparently they are waiting for the end of the conference.

If the reviewer can be allowed to stay as usual and then go to Bailing Paradise for further studies, then it can only be true. "

"This Heavenly Spirit Sect... It seems that I will move around more in the future." Bai Zhikui said.

Bai Guangsen replied: "Since they have survived the disaster and become increasingly prosperous, they have been on the rise. They should move around more. With the relationship between our three sects, it is not really a flattery.

Don't wait until someone really gets the momentum to think about this. By then, you won't be able to curry favor even if you want to! "

"Well, I'll tell you when you get back. Walk more with the Heavenly Spirit Sect. Marry more with the Yang family, Zhou family, Dang family, Fan family and other families. Ordinary disciples can also get closer." Bai Zhikui seemed to think of something in his thoughts. Added:

"By the way, was the embarrassing baby dealt with a few days ago?"

Bai Guangsen replied: "I traveled all night and sent them back to Uncle Twelve. In the past few years, Uncle Twelve has pampered the two children. But he pampered them too much, and both of them became a little lawless.

I couldn't punish him privately, so I sent Bai Chengcheng back, and then explained the serious relationship to Uncle Twelve, so he probably wouldn't get used to it.

There was also Bai Qingyue who was asked to meet by the ancestor of the Zhang family. I don’t know why. It has been several days and the family has not found him yet. "
