Chapter 577 Small Force
In this way, Zhang Zhiwen took the identity token to see what tasks were available.
There were a lot of people in the outer hall, coming and going in an endless stream, and Zhang Zhiwen had just arrived at the place where he received the task, and monks immediately came to him.
This monk who looked like a middle-aged man must have found Zhang Zhiwen when he saw that he had just been promoted to an outer disciple.
"Fellow Taoist, I'm Qin Dongren, I wonder if there's anything I can do to help you?"
The monk who called himself Qin Dongren was very enthusiastic when he came over, but this kind of person must have an agenda if he shows courtesy for nothing and is either a traitor or a thief.
It's just that Zhang Zhiwen didn't know what the other party wanted for him. Logically speaking, he was just a newcomer and had nothing on him. What did the other party want? However, Zhang Zhiwen responded politely with cupped fists: "I'm Zhang Zhiwen. I'm new here. I hope Brother Dao can give me some advice."
"Haha, it's easy to talk about. By the way, let's chat together?"
When Qin Dongren saw that Zhang Zhiwen was willing to pay attention to him, he was naturally quite happy, so the two of them went aside to talk.
"Oh, we are all disciples of the outer hall, loyal to the Chen family."
Qin Dongren clasped his fists in the distance, quite a bit, and then he continued, "Well, we are all our own people, so I have been here longer than you. If fellow Taoist fellows don't mind, then I will treat you as my brother. What do you think, fellow Taoist?"
"Brother Qin, you're welcome. Brother Qin, just call me Zhiwen."
Zhang Zhiwen is very familiar with this kind of dealings. Anyway, he has nothing to do and is not in a hurry to do any tasks right away. This year is enough for him to find out the situation of Chen's outer hall. Now Qin Dongren is here. It would be the right opportunity to find him.
"Haha, okay, brother Zhiwen, are you planning to complete the mission?" Qin Dongren asked.
"Yes, I just want to check the status of the missions, but I don't know which missions I should look for." Zhang Zhiwen was very modest. Furthermore, he really didn't know the situation here, so he wouldn't suffer from asking Qin Dongren for more advice.
"It's easy to say, haha, that's it. Our outer hall's mission is very simple, that is, go to the place where the strange beast appears and kill the strange beast."
Qin Dongren said, it sounded really simple, but there must be some skills in it. Sure enough, Qin Dongren continued: "However, there are still some things that need to be paid attention to here."
"Oh? What do you say?" Zhang Zhiwen asked subconsciously.
"That's it, brother Zhiwen, you must have seen strange beasts, right?" Qin Dongren asked.
"Yes." Zhang Zhiwen nodded and admitted that there was actually nothing to hide. Anyone who could come here must have seen the strange beast. Otherwise, where would the Dao Soul Stone come from?
"Well, that's good, that's good. You have to know that we have been promoted, and some of us were disciples of the outer hall from the beginning. You should understand what's going on, right?"
Qin Dongren said, and these words made Zhang Zhiwen suddenly understand. Yes, there are actually two types of disciples of the outer hall. One is the innate Taoist monks from the beginning. They participated in the Chen's summoning trial and directly became the outer hall disciples. My cousin, if they are new here, they have never seen any strange beasts.
But monks like Zhang Zhiwen were different. He had seen strange beasts and even killed them. Suddenly, Zhang Zhiwen understood why the other party was looking for him.
Sure enough, Qin Dongren said: "Hey, this is why I came to find you. Firstly, we are the same kind of people, and secondly, brother Zhiwen must have seen strange beasts and even killed strange beasts. This is even better. Some.”
The meaning of Qin Dongren's words is actually very clear. In other words, they, the acquired soul monks who have been promoted from handymen, will not be with the innate soul monks. It is probably because others look down on them. Another one, they They all have experience in facing strange beasts, but those innate Taoist monks who have just arrived have no experience in this area.
On the one hand, their monks are very arrogant because of their talents, but on the other hand, they are inexperienced. Isn't this just a case of having too much ambition and too little power?
Most of the outer disciples here are innate soul monks. There are relatively few monks like Qin Dongren and Zhang Zhiwen. There must be very few handymen who can stand out from life and death, so this is Qin Dongren. The reason for finding Zhang Zhiwen.
"Brother Zhiwen, we are both servants, and now we are all disciples of the outer hall. We are more suitable to form a team. What do you think?"
When Qin Dongren said this, he invited Zhang Zhiwen to join the team.
Zhang Zhiwen thought about it and agreed readily. Qin Dongren was immediately overjoyed and took Zhang Zhiwen away from the place. Obviously, Qin Dongren was taking him to meet other people.
Sure enough, Qin Dongren took Zhang Zhiwen outside, and then walked through the streets and alleys. Soon, they came to a house. Qin Dongren took out the key, opened the door, and led Zhang Zhiwen into the yard.
The courtyard is not big, just the size of a side courtyard, and the location is not good. It is quite remote, but it is quiet. After entering the courtyard, Zhang Zhiwen found that it was quite clean. There were stone tables and benches in the courtyard. There should be people living in the left and right wing rooms, but there was no one in the yard at this time.
"Come on, brother Zhiwen, please sit down first and I'll make you some tea." Qin Dongren was very enthusiastic and asked Zhang Zhiwen to sit down and then left temporarily.
Zhang Zhiwen looked around and saw that there was nothing wrong with the yard, and he was not worried that Qin Dongren would plot against him. In Chen's territory, Qin Dongren would not do such a thing. Of course, he would not think that Qin Dongren was kind-hearted. A monk who was able to obtain the Dao Soul Stone was a monk with a background as a handyman. He had seen too many intrigues and too many killings. How could he be so simple-minded?
But Zhang Zhiwen didn't mind. Along the way, he encountered a lot of things. He knew one thing well, that is, if everyone's interests are the same, then it is okay to join forces. In this case, he would just wait for Qin Dongren .
Not long after, Qin Dongren came out, and there was a female cultivator who followed Qin Dongren. She looked about in her twenties and was extremely handsome. It even gave Zhang Zhiwen a somewhat unexpected illusion, because this female cultivator Vaguely not even much worse than Zhu Qianrou.
Is this Qin Dongren hiding his beauty in the golden house? But Qin Dongren's attitude towards this female cultivator was obviously not the kind of attitude between Taoist monks. Instead, Qin Dongren looked in awe. The female cultivator walked over and came to Zhang Zhiwen. She saluted Zhang Zhiwen and said "My little girl, Zhuo Yaoyue, didn't hear that the young master was coming, so she missed the opportunity to greet you from afar. I hope you will forgive me."
Zhang Zhiwen also stood up and saluted back, but Zhang Zhiwen was a little puzzled as to why this female cultivator named Zhuo Yaoyue spoke in such a refined manner, even with the tone of a common lady, which made him somewhat unable to help but think of Cai Mingji, because they The tone of voice of the two people is really similar.
"Sir, please!"
Zhuo Yaoyue slightly stretched out her hand to signal Zhang Zhiwen to sit down, and Zhang Zhiwen naturally sat down. Then Zhuo Yaoyue sat down. Seeing Zhuo Yaoyue sit down, Qin Dongren sat down.
Qin Dongren did not introduce Zhuo Yaoyue to Zhang Zhiwen, and he remained silent. Zhuo Yaoyue then said, "I wonder where Brother Zhiwen is from?"
"I'm from the Lower Immortal Realm. I wonder where the lady is from?" Zhang Zhiwen also asked about the other party's situation.
In this way, the two of them asked and answered questions, and everyone basically understood the situation. It turned out that Zhuo Yaoyue was also a handyman and a cultivator of acquired souls, but she was now an innate soul monk. .
Not only that, she is also the leader of people like Qin Dongren. She no longer goes on missions with monks like Qin Dongren. She goes on missions with those innate soul monks, but monks like Qin Dongren just hang out with her, and now Zhuo Yaoyue The meaning is very clear, that is, let Zhang Zhiwen hang out with her.
This is the power organization, and those innate Taoist monks also have their corresponding power organizations, which are also located on small hills. It seems that the Chen family is also quite complicated inside. The forces are intertwined, and even the outer hall is like this. What about the inner hall? What about the collateral and direct lines further up?
A small Immortal Official of the Chen family only has so many small forces, so what about the Immortal Officials of the prefectures further up? These intricate relationships are intertwined to form the huge power dynasty of Ten Thousand Immortals Island, which is much more complicated than Tianshui Fairyland.
But this is nothing. The most important thing is that once there are these small forces, there must be various interests entangled. Sure enough, Qin Dongren said at this time: "If Brother Zhiwen is willing, Brother Zhiwen can come to our place, our place There are not many requirements, as long as you obey Miss Zhuo’s arrangements for each mission and turn in three Houtian lower-grade soul stones every year, that’s it.”
"Three Dao Soul Stones?"
Zhang Zhiwen was a little surprised, because the minimum requirement for the outer hall disciples is only one acquired world-grade Dao Soul Stone every year, so why do they have to pay more when they get here? And it seems that you have to pay money before you can join this small organization!
In addition, any task he wants to take must be arranged by Zhuo Yaoyue. He, Zhang Zhiwen, can't take it without permission. Isn't this too unfree? This is tantamount to being completely controlled by Zhuo Yaoyue!
Zhuo Yaoyue is just a monk in the early stage of the Golden Core. Although she is an innate Taoist monk, she is just a disciple of the outer hall. Why can she ask for money and protection money from people like Zhang Zhiwen?
Of course, Zhang Zhiwen didn't immediately become impatient. He didn't even react. He was just curious about why he had to hand over three Houtian lower-grade soul stones.
"Yes, it's three pieces. This is already very little. Brother Zhiwen, you don't have to worry. As long as you participate in the mission and come back alive every time, you will get a piece of acquired lower-grade Dao Soul Stone. As long as you complete the mission three times, , then you can stay, and as for the extra Tao Soul Stones in the future, you can deal with them yourself."
Qin Dongren continued, while Zhuo Yaoyue didn't say much at this time and just drank tea lightly. Obviously, she was the boss, so she didn't need to talk too much to Zhang Zhiwen. She just had to let Qin Dongren, his subordinate, talk to Zhang Zhiwen.
Even after Zhuo Yaoyue finished drinking tea, she was about to get up and leave. It seemed that she didn't care at all whether Zhang Zhiwen wanted to join or not, and she didn't seem to be too worried that no one would join.
But at this moment, someone came from outside.
I saw a young monk walking in. This young monk was wearing a long white gown and was quite handsome. When he came in, he saw Zhuo Yaoyue, and then he suddenly smiled and stepped forward quickly.
"Yao Yue, you are here!"
This male cultivator must be very familiar with Zhuo Yaoyue, otherwise he wouldn't speak in such a tone.
Zhuo Yaoyue seemed quite happy to see the other party. She quickly stood up, stepped forward to greet him, and said with concern: "Chengxiu, you are back. Nothing happened this time, right?"
"No, no... everything went smoothly, but I have to say that the strange beast this time was quite difficult, but we finally fulfilled our mission, haha..."
The male cultivator named Cheng Xiu sat down carelessly, almost ignoring the presence of Zhang Zhiwen, and he directly picked up the teapot on the table, put it to his mouth and drank it, seeming to be quite happy and hearty. .
"Oops..." The male cultivator drank tea and wiped his mouth. He seemed to have discovered Zhang Zhiwen's existence, but he just glanced at Zhang Zhiwen curiously, and then said to Zhuo Yaoyue, "Yaoyue, this time you If you don’t go, you will suffer some loss..."
When the male cultivator said this, Zhuo Yaoyue gave him a wink and motioned him to go back to the room to talk. The male cultivator stopped, but he seemed to be disapproving, but for Zhuo Yaoyue's sake, he still He got up and left with Zhuo Yaoyue.
This episode passed quickly, and when Qin Dongren saw Zhang Zhiwen looking a little surprised and confused, Qin Dongren smiled awkwardly, and then said: "His name is Li Chengxiu, Miss's Taoist companion. He is also the captain of another organization. He is also an innate Taoist." The soul monk is also led by acquired soul monks like us. On weekdays, he, the lady, and some other innate soul monks go on missions. This time, the lady was delayed because of her training, so she didn't go. "
Only then did Zhang Zhiwen understand what was going on, but these things had nothing to do with him. He was not familiar with the situation here now, and Qin Dongren was obviously very good at observing people's emotions. He couldn't help but said quickly: "Yes, yes Tell Brother Zhiwen about our general situation, otherwise it will be difficult for Brother Zhiwen to make a decision if he doesn’t understand the situation. In fact, this is what we are like..."
Qin Dongren started to talk about their situation, and Zhang Zhiwen finally understood what was going on.
It turns out that their missions were arranged by Zhuo Yaoyue, and each mission has a veteran in charge of leading the team. Basically, it is safer to go out on missions, but this is not the point. The point is that Zhuo Yaoyue can allow the team members to Everyone will get a chance to be protected by the formation, that is, the identity token can be re-acquired one time each time to activate the protection of the formation.
Originally, the identity token could only be activated once, but it was different here. Once here, you could get a chance to be protected by this kind of formation every time, which was equivalent to getting a chance to save your life!
It has to be said that Zhuo Yaoyue has some connections, otherwise he would not be able to earn this money.
After Zhang Zhiwen listened to Qin Dongren's words, he felt that this was quite good. Of course, Zhang Zhiwen didn't know if there would be any problems here, so he would have to go and see the situation to find out.
"How about it? Brother Zhiwen, do you want to join?"
