A group of five people gathered in the pavilion in front of Qianzhang Rock, and Bian Qiao sat alone on the stone bench in the middle.

He was in his early forties, richly dressed, wearing a nine-sun scarf, a pair of thick soles and high shoes under his feet, a white and round face, holding a purple mud teapot and sipping slowly, looking like a gentleman, not a steward who served people.

There are many people in front of Qianzhang Rock, and there are people pointing in the distance, but he doesn't care, the few slaves around him are all dressed in short clothes, their clothes are open between their chests and abdomen, and their faces are full of arrogance.

Zhao Ying stood in the distance and watched, secretly scolding Zhang Yan for not knowing what to do, and faintly regretted it in his heart, Bian Qiao has always been vicious, and it is easy to deal with a little named disciple, if this little thief is killed here, it will be fine, but the eldest brother will definitely count her down, what if the body is angry again?

She was raised by Zhao Yuan since she was a child, if it weren't for her, Zhao Yuan would have already gone up the mountain to seek the Tao, and she would not have been delayed for ten years, so she never dared to disobey Zhao Yuan's words, and this time she also saw Zhao Yuan vomiting blood, and she was anxious and hateful before she was willful.

It's just that Zhao Ying doesn't know that Bian Qiao looks rampant and domineering, but he actually knows a little bit about how to advance and retreat.

On the one hand, he tries not to offend people who should not be offended, even if there is a slight conflict, others do not care about him in the face of Hu Shengyu, on the other hand, he unscrupulously bullies and suppresses disciples who have no background, and it is precisely because of this that he is the most famous and famous among many stewards.

"Manager Bian, Zhang Yan is here. ”

A Shanyuan Guan Taoist boy who had been captured to listen to him shrank his head and looked around, pointed to the tall figure walking in the distance and whispered.

Bian Qiao was already waiting a little impatiently, but when he heard this, he cheered up a little, raised his head and glanced at it casually, but the teapot on the side of his mouth was stiff, and he was a little surprised: "That's Zhang Yan?"

He thought that Zhang Yan was just a poor scholar who didn't understand the rules, but he didn't know that the other party's appearance was much beyond his expectations.

Zhang Yan changed into the wide-sleeved robe given to him by Min Lou today, not to mention his handsome appearance, but he was well-proportioned and tall, a head taller than ordinary people, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and when he strode towards here, he looked majestic and heroic, and his momentum was terrifying.

What surprised Bian Qiao even more was that a layer of obscure luster appeared on Zhang Yan's face, he had been dealing with chores by Hu Shengyu's side all the year round, and he was naturally knowledgeable, and at a glance he knew that Zhang Yan had not only reached the realm of "condensing Yuan manifestation" in Zhuyuan, but also faintly showed signs of stepping into "Yuan Cheng Zhen".

Bian Qiao grinned, secretly annoyed in his heart, he didn't know what the person who inquired about the news was eating, with such cultivation, how could he be an ordinary registered disciple?

In fact, Zhang Yan's predecessor had a dull personality, he only knew how to bury himself in penance for three years on the mountain, studied etching behind closed doors, and never made any friends, which can be said to be inconspicuous, and of course nothing can be found out in a hurry.

According to Bian Qiao's original plan, if this Zhang Yan had no background, he would naturally be crippled and thrown down the mountain after a lesson.

In his eyes, a named disciple is nothing, if it weren't for the fact that this is Shanyuanguan, someone would rush to do it if he said a word, and there was no need for him to come forward in person, but he didn't expect that at first sight, he felt that Zhang Yan was not simple.

In addition, Zhang Yan is proficient in etching......

Generally speaking, such people are not accompanied by beginner disciples behind them, and that is their family background.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yan's figure became more profound in his eyes, but he didn't dare to make a mistake easily.

However, in the past, he relied on Hu Shengyu's name to think that he was also a character, and since the scene was spread out, it was impossible to retreat in front of many disciples and lose momentum.

He barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and arched his hand at Zhang Yan, who was sitting there, and said, "A certain Bian Qiao, who takes care of mundane things for Hu Shengyu and Hu Gongzi for Dexiu Guan on weekdays, is this junior brother Zhang Yan?"

Zhang Yan glanced at Bian Qiao calmly, and said, "Yes." ”

Bian Qiao had been carefully observing Zhang Yan's expression, and saw that when he heard Hu Shengyu's name, his eyes were unmoved, and he was more sure of his previous judgment in his heart, and said as if he was affectionately tentative: "I don't know what Senior Brother Zhang and the senior brothers of Shanyuanguan call each other?"

The "senior brother" mentioned by Bian Qiao here naturally refers to the introductory disciples of Shanyuanguan.

Zhang Yan didn't know what he was thinking, and there was a smile on his face, and he said, "Naturally, it's not as close as Brother Bian and Senior Brother Hu." ”,

Bian Qiao's face changed, this remark faintly satirized him as a slave, he hated someone mentioning his origin the most in his life, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.

He seemed to be elegant, but after all, he was usually arrogant, and his tone suddenly became unkind, so he glanced at Zhang Yan coldly and said, "Let me ask you, I heard that you interpreted the eclipse text for my disciple of Virtue Cultivation?"

Zhang Yan was extremely calm and said, "Yes." ”

Bian Qiao sneered: "I also know that you have been on the mountain for three years, how can you not know that the disciples of the Three Views have rules, and they have their own special personnel to interpret the Taoist books?

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Since Steward Bian has spoken, then from now on, I will not interpret the Taoist book with the disciple of Dexiuguan." ”

Bian Qiao squinted at Zhang Yan and said coldly: "Senior brother, do you really don't understand, or do you entertain me Bian?" I said that I am a disciple of the Three Views, have you ever understood it?"

Although the lower court is divided into three views, but there are frequent exchanges in ordinary times, if someone obtains the Taoist book from the Dexiu Temple, and then asks Zhang Yan to interpret the etching text in the name of the disciple of the other two views, then can he still stop it?

Zhang Yan arched his hand and said lightly: "That is the case, forgive me." ”

How could he not know the secret of this? He deliberately said this, this is a method of retreating into advance, and in this way, it becomes not that I refuse to agree to you, but that you are deceiving people too much.

Bian Qiao was originally afraid that there would be someone behind Zhang Yan to support him, but he thought that everyone would take a step back and not fall out, but he didn't think that Zhang Yan didn't know what to do, so he didn't give face.

After thinking about it, although Zhang Yan seems to have some foundations, since he broke the "rules" first, he also took advantage of a few senior brothers, so where are he afraid?

Since you don't listen to good words, then don't blame me for not being emotional, really I can't fix you?

He had been prepared before coming here, and since reconciliation was impossible, he was ready to use means.

Bian Qiao suddenly hahadaxiao sighed twice, and said: "It's okay, it's okay, since the junior brother has a lot of experience in the eclipse text, you might as well let me wait to open my eyes, Bian has three Taoist books here, please advise the junior brother!"

With a wave of his hand, a small guy behind him immediately put a Taoist book on the table, Bian Qiao knocked it on the paper with his knuckles, and said with a smile: "I also know Senior Brother Zhang's rules, rice, grain, and silver money are indispensable to you, so I will ask Senior Brother Zhang for some advice." ”

When business came to the door, Zhang Yan naturally wouldn't stop doing it, he took two steps and stretched out his hand to get the Taoist book.

"Slow down. ”

Bian Qiao stretched out his hand and pressed it on the Taoist book, staring at Zhang Yan with his eyes, and said, "I sincerely ask for advice, if Senior Brother Zhang interprets it wrong, or can't interpret it, what can he say?"

Zhang Yan said with a faint expression: "Senior brother can smash my signboard, and I will no longer say the word etching." ”

Bian Qiao snorted, shook his head, and said, "Not enough, not enough." ”

Zhang Yan also smiled, retracted his hand, stood up straight, and said, "Then what does Senior Brother think?"

Bian Qiao squinted his eyes and said: "You have been scattered and cultivated, and you will go down the mountain, and from now on, you will not be allowed to step into the realm of my Mingcang faction for half a step!"

Because there were many people gathered here, some of the disciples of the three lower courtyards around them gradually surrounded them, and they exclaimed in surprise when they heard this, this is going to completely cut off Zhang Yan's path of cultivation.

Zhang Yan was surprised, but he didn't expect Bian Qiao to have a seizure before, but now he has become a lot tougher.

He didn't know that this was Bian Qiaohao's nature, chasing small profits and fearing adults, but he couldn't understand Zhang Yan's background, so he didn't do it directly.

If Zhang Yan loses this time and no one stands up for him, then he will naturally be ruthless and leave no way to live, if someone comes forward to intercede, he can also sell face if he comes to a big deal, and ask for favors by the way. In short, as long as Zhang Yandao's interpretation makes mistakes and omissions, whether it is flat or round at that time, it will be at his disposal.

"Senior brother can say this, but ......" Zhang Yan looked calm and said: "If this is the case, this price is not worth just rice grain." ”

Bian Qiao laughed, groped in his sleeve for a while, and took out a white jade porcelain bottle and put it on the stone table, "Senior brother seems to be already Zhuyuan Xiuwei, this is Zhihe Dan, there are a total of twenty-three grains in the bottle, each one is worth a thousand gold, does the junior brother think it's okay?"

The disciples of the three lower courtyards around him immediately discussed, looking at this bottle of elixir, their eyes were full of fiery intent, but they also knew that this was not something they could get, but they were all scolding in their hearts, this Bian Qiao was obviously just a steward, and he didn't have any cultivation, but there was such a good elixir, it was simply a pearl secretly cast, and it was a tyrannical thing.

Zhang Yan is familiar with the classics and miscellaneous records, of course, he knows the value of this elixir, not only can clear the valley for health, wash away the filth, but also can consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan, invigorate the blood and pass the pulse, which is of great benefit to the cultivators who sit still for days and nights, the key is that there is no price, this is the elixir that only beginner disciples can enjoy.

Without further consideration, he replied, "Yes." ”

Zhao Ying in the crowd couldn't help pouting when she saw Zhang Yan agreeing, this little thief is really dying, can't you see that Bian Qiao is the next trick for him to drill into?

Bian Qiao arched his hand to the surroundings and said, "Okay, there are many senior brothers here today, so as to be a witness, so as not to spread the word that I am Bian bullying someone." He was also ruthless, and he used words to block Zhang Yan's back road first.

Zhang Yan looked at Bian Qiao's small movements coldly, but he didn't care, he sat down on the stone bench as if no one was around, picked up the Taoist book and looked at it.

The disciples around listened to Bian Qiao's words, and the bold ones all leaned up, all wanting to see what this Zhang Yan was capable of, and dared to put it right with Bian Qiao, Tai'an Guan and Shanyuanguan disciples are okay, in the eyes of the disciples of Dexiuguan, Bian Qiao has been a powerful blessing on the mountain over the years, no one dares to care, and today someone dares to refute Bian Qiao's face, and his chest can't help but be excited, and even more instruct the Taoist boy to go with him to find a friend and not to miss this good show.
