The airship parked on the ground looks like a behemoth building dozens of stories high. Thick steel ropes are pulled straight down from the body of the airship, like ropes nailed to the ground when setting up a tent. The airship is fixed on the wooden stakes that are firmly nailed to the ground. If the airship is not fixed, when a behemoth like the Storm class is parked on the ground, sometimes a strong wind blows, and serious accidents will occur. .
The docking of a large airship on the ground is just like the docking of a large ship in a port. It is a technical job and cannot be done casually. This is also a skill that Zhang Tie learned in the past few days. Watching the ship bring great benefits to him The airship felt so oppressive that no one knew what was going on in Zhang Tie's mind -
It has been many days since I entered the Black Iron Castle to eat fruit. I don’t know if any new fruits have grown from the demonized puppets I killed during this period, or if I can get another Soul Tribulation Fruit, and then use it in the Soul Tribulation. Try out what it's like to fly a Stormrage-class airship in space.
The huge airship was parked on a vast stretch of sand, and many people were entering and exiting the open hatch at the rear of the airship. This place seemed to have become a temporary headquarters of Huaiyuantang in Tianhan City. Not just anyone could come if they wanted to. Yes, right at the door of the airship cabin, there are two rows of fully armed Huaiyuan Hall soldiers standing guard, performing their duties as door guards. Without permission, even Qianlong Hall students cannot enter or exit this place at will. .
Under the leadership of the two deacons, Zhang Tie successfully entered the interior of the giant airship and arrived outside a room on the second floor of the airship.
"Elder Qi, Zhang Tie has arrived!" The two deacons said respectfully outside the door after gently knocking on the door.
"Let him in!" A gentle voice sounded from the door.
A deacon opened the door and made a gesture to let Zhang Tie in. Zhang Tie walked into the room with doubts in his heart.
The room was elegantly and plainly decorated. In the room, an old man wearing a plain robe was kneeling in front of a coffee table, concentrating on preparing a pot of dense tea. The old man's expression was focused and pious, and every move made Zhang Tie feel pleasing to the eye.
Zhang Tie looked at his clothes that still smelled of blood, and then looked at the environment in the room. He suddenly felt like dog meat was being served to a high-society cocktail party. Needless to say, the pot of dog meat was him. Own.
Zhang Tie scratched his head. He didn't know whether to step forward and completely destroy the atmosphere, or to stand here. To be honest, this was the first time Zhang Tie had seen a big shot like the elder of Huaiyuantang. This kind of The big shot is not only terrifying in his own strength, but also holds the power of Huaiyuan Hall. He is not a decoration. More importantly, based on seniority and blood relationship, this person should be his great-grandfather's generation.
To say I'm not nervous would be a lie.
"Come here, sit down!" The attitude of the elder Zhang Tie was very gentle. He seemed to understand what Zhang Tie was thinking at this moment. He raised his hand and called Zhang Tie over, "Don't be restrained. People are the most important thing in the world. Only things are not worthy." There is nothing unworthy of the Lord!”
There are only things that are not worthy of people, and there is nothing that is not worthy of people. This simple sentence shocked Zhang Tie's heart. It seemed to contain some profound meaning. When the elder of the family said this, Zhang Tie was not polite and directly He walked over and knelt down in front of the coffee table upright like the elder.
"Try it!" The elder pushed a cup of tea as green as glass in front of Zhang Tie.
As soon as the tea was pushed in front of Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie smelled a special smell. The smell seemed not to be described as fragrant, but it was extremely elegant, with a fresh and moist breath. As soon as Zhang Tie smelled it, The taste naturally reminds me of the scene after the early spring rain in the mountains.
Zhang Tie drank the entire cup of tea in one gulp, then smacked his lips, tasting nothing. To Zhang Tie, the taste of the tea was only slightly sweet, and seemed to be nothing special.
"How do you feel?" the elder asked Zhang Tie expectantly.
"It would be nice to add more sugar to make it sweeter!" Zhang Tie replied naturally.
Hearing such an answer, the elder's eyelids twitched, and then he lowered his gaze to look at the same cup of tea in front of him. After a while, he sighed, "Have you never tasted tea before?" The best 'Wild Spring' from the Eastern Continent, you actually think it's not sweet enough and want to put sugar in your tea?"
"I have never tasted tea before, I only held tea leaves in my mouth once!" Zhang Tie said with some embarrassment.
Thinking of what he knew about Zhang Tie's family's previous life in Black Flame City, the elder of Huaiyuantang shook his head, picked up the teacup in front of him, smelled the fragrance of the tea intoxicatedly, and then took a sip of the tea. He asked Zhang Tie a question in a very calm and casual voice, "Did you bring outsiders into Tianhan City today?"
Upon hearing this question, Zhang Tie's heart suddenly tightened. Although the old man in front of him was still sipping tea tepidly, Zhang Tie suddenly felt that the old man sitting in front of him suddenly became taller. It stood up like a mountain, pressing towards him all of a sudden, making his breathing tense.
This is a purely spiritual feeling, and it is an all-round suppression and overlooking of the aura, spirit, ability, will and many talkable and unspeakable states of a cultivator after crossing many realms.
At this moment, Zhang Tie felt like an ant. No matter how high he jumped, he was still an ant, but this old man was like a mountain. Whether he was sitting or lying down, he looked like a ridge on the side and a peak on the side. , giving him an insurmountable and overwhelming feeling. At this time, Zhang Tie even suspected that as long as the old man opposite had a thought, he could be destroyed physically and mentally.
In just a few seconds, Zhang Tie was shocked to find that he seemed to be losing control of his body under such terrifying suppression. His entire physical and mental state seemed to be in a powerful and omnipresent force field. , this force field, like leaking mercury, penetrates into your body without any hindrance, and is even powerful enough to affect your central nervous system and the instructions your brain sends to your body.
Under such pressure, Zhang Tie's originally strong back and body were slowly and naturally bending toward the ground like a pole carrying too many things. Every cell in his body seemed to have a kind of genuflection and thoroughness at this moment. The instinct to give up resistance drove him to lower his head.
The family elder of Huaiyuantang was still sipping tea leisurely, his entire attention was on the teacup, and he didn't even look at Zhang Tie.
Is this the power of knights? Or is this the power of samadhi that the master calls? Zhang Tie was shocked in his heart. Although his mind was clear, he was full of helplessness. He could only watch his body slowly bending down. His forehead was getting closer and closer to the ground where his legs were kneeling. The ground was beige. The wooden patterns on the colored floor became larger and larger in his eyes, becoming clearer and clearer.
No, you can't lie down even if you beat him to death... Zhang Tie screamed angrily in his heart, veins popped up on his forehead, and he used all his energy and strength to regain control of his body...
At this moment, some images appeared in Zhang Tie's mind. He saw himself being trampled on the ground and bleeding after being kidnapped by Huck and Sneijder... He saw Gris' disdainful sneer at him... He saw it. The seven wild wolves that almost forced him into a certain death situation for the first time... the hidden arrows coated with blue frost poison that were shot just after stepping off the duel stage... The sun god who wanted to tear himself into pieces aimed at the Black Feather Corps. The undead monsters... Major Franke's wolf-like eyes... and the Zhen family's bastards are chasing me under the island's dragon cave...
No... I can't lie down... Zhang Tie's eyes suddenly turned red.
Powerful iron-blooded fighting spirit boiled in Zhang Tie's sea of energy...
The mental power in the whirlpool of mental power in the sea of consciousness boils...
The blood in Zhang Tie's body boiled...
Every muscle in the body begins to become as hard as steel...
Just when Zhang Tie's waist was bent and his forehead was only an egg's distance from the ground, and was about to hit the ground, Zhang Tie's hands on his knees finally turned into tight fists.
The sweat on his head fell drop by drop along the tip of Zhang Tie's nose to the floor in front of him. Because he was so close to the floor, Zhang Tie's ears seemed to be able to hear the sound of his sweat falling on the floor.
Zhang Tie's head finally did not go down anymore, but stopped. Then, Zhang Tie's lowered head and his bent waist slowly lifted up again - slowly straightening - A simple movement made Zhang Tie's muscles and bone joints emit a "click, click, click" sound similar to the jig on a rusted metal processing table that had not been oiled for a long time and was forcibly opened with brute force. sound.
It took Zhang Tie a full two minutes to completely raise his head and regain his strength.
In just a short while, Zhang Tie looked as if he had just been fished out of the water. His combat uniform was soaked with sweat, and he was even more tired than he felt after a day of fighting in Tianhan City.
It wasn't until Zhang Tie stood upright and raised his head again that the family elder who was drinking tea raised his eyes slightly in surprise, glanced at him, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
Zhang Tie was breathing heavily, and even his voice became hoarse after just drinking a cup of tea. He looked fearlessly at the person sitting opposite him, "Yes... I did bring four people to Tianhan City today. !”
"Don't you know the order from above?" The elder of Huaiyuantang looked at Zhang Tie and put down the tea cup in his hand. His gentle gaze just now was like a sharp arrow, shooting into Zhang Tie's heart, " Why do you think you can make an exception?"
