Chapter Ninety-Six: The Present Crisis (1)
According to Zhong Hou's thoughts, his previous problem was fundamentally unsolvable to the current cultivation world. On the Star Continent, there is absolutely no second person who can be answered at present, except for his master Zhu Gangguan.
Sure enough, Mo Hongyue's next words confirmed his conjecture.
I only heard Mo Hongyue say: "You asked me three questions before. First, where is the limit of the human body? Second, after being innate, what laws should be followed to continue to improve the realm of the physical body? Third, cultivators can use martial arts to exert attack power that exceeds their own by several times or even dozens of times, and can use many external means such as star weapons, which can not be done by body refiners, so how can they compete with cultivators.
Right?"
"That's right. ”
"You mean, if I can't answer your question, I'm not qualified to be your master?"
"The disciple didn't dare. ”
Zhong Hou just said that he didn't dare, but what he wanted to express behind him was indeed what he meant.
However, Mo Hongyue did not debunk it, but said with a smile: "Although I don't know why you can ask such a professional question with your age and knowledge, I really can't answer any of them." It's just that I'm even more convinced that you must have obtained the ancient refining inheritance behind you. ”
Hearing this, Zhong Hou's heart was like a bolt from the blue, and he was stunned on the spot.
This is terrible, even if the other party's guess is still far from his real secret, but when it comes to the word 'antiquity', it is a big deal, and he still can't escape being sliced and sliced.
Thinking of this, Zhong Hou's cold sweat burst out.
Seeing this, Mo Hongyue was even more determined in her heart, and continued to smile and said: "Do you know that because you have obtained the ancient body refining inheritance, there have been many voices within the sect. Most of the elders advocate ... Hehe... Do you know what it is?"
Mo Hongyue deliberately lost Zhong Hou's appetite.
"Disciple... The disciple doesn't know... Zhong Hou replied calmly.
Mo Hongyue didn't answer, continued to lose her appetite, and said, "This is not the place to talk, you two come with me." ”
Without waiting for the two of them to react, Mo Hongyue sacrificed an unknown flying star weapon and took the two of them back to her cultivation dojo.
The next words were inconvenient for outsiders to hear, so after Mo Hongyue arranged a place for Xia Luoyi, she took Zhong Hou back to her residence alone.
Although Xia Luoyi was curious in her heart, she also knew that there were some things that she could not participate in, and in the end, she could only look at the back of Zhong Hou leaving with infinite gratitude.
After the two of them sat down, Mo Hongyue officially said: "Just yesterday, the high-level of the sect held a meeting, and the main object of discussion in the meeting was you. ”
Hearing this, Zhong Hou's clothes that had just dried out instantly became wet again.
Mo Hongyue didn't wait for Zhong Hou to speak, and continued: "Now the sect is convinced that you have the inheritance of the ancient refining body hidden in you. However, there was a difference of opinion among the elders on how to deal with this matter.
Some are more direct and rude, shouting to arrest you and force the inheritance out of your mouth. Some are more gentle, and I hope to use Huairou's policy to make you willing to contribute to the inheritance.
No matter what, you can't keep this legacy, it's just a matter of time and method. ”
Neither of them spoke for the rest of the year.
Mo Hongyue was waiting for Zhong Hou's response, while Zhong Hou was digesting this information and thinking about how to deal with it next.
After a long time, Zhong Hou calmed down a little before asking, "I don't know what the attitude of the second elder is?"
"Hehe... You guess... ”
"I guess the second elder should be the latter, otherwise he wouldn't be open and honest with me today. "On the word 'ant', Zhong Hou bit hard to express his dissatisfaction with the attitude of the sect.
At the same time, his impression of Half Moon Mountain Villa was extremely bad.
What he had heard and heard before was just rumors, and Zhong Hou didn't have real evidence, but he already had a first-hand experience at the moment, where else was needed evidence.
The conclusion is that Half Moon Villa is full of benevolence and morality, but in essence it is a place where filth and dirt are hidden. The ruler will resort to all dirty and vile means for the sake of profit.
The only thing that distinguishes them from the demons is that their dirty and despicable methods will not be known to others.
He originally planned to use the platform of Half Moon Villa to investigate some things first, and then slip away afterwards. But now it seems that time does not allow it, and he must find a way to leave this place immediately, otherwise he may lose his life in the next moment.
Here Zhong Hou was thinking about a way to get out, but over there Mo Hongyue said, "You guessed right, I am the latter." Not only that, but I am the first to propose that a policy of softness be adopted against you, otherwise you may now be under house arrest. ”
Zhong Hou was slightly surprised, but his tone became colder and colder, and he asked, "The Second Elder's move today is not to monopolize my inheritance, and then kill people and destroy them." ”
Hearing this, Mo Hongyue almost didn't laugh and said, "Hahaha... The little one's imagination is so rich. ”
After laughing, Mo Hongyue said formally: "I believe you also know that your current situation is very dangerous. ”
"What do you know, could it be that the Second Elder has a solution? Could it be that the Second Elder has no idea about the refining inheritance on my body?"
"Let me explain to you first, there are mainly two kinds of people who have thoughts about your body refining inheritance. One is for the public and the other is for the private.
For the public, I hope to supplement the heritage of the sect with your inheritance, and pray for a new development of the sect. For private reasons, most of them have been trapped in a certain realm for many years and have not been able to break through, in order to pray for a breakthrough with the help of your refining inheritance. ”
"Who is the Second Elder?"
"It's both. ”
"Or is that the problem, does the Second Elder have a solution to my immediate predicament?"
"That's why I'm looking for you today. ”
"Listen up. ”
"At present, the high-level of the sect has promised to slowly cultivate a relationship with you first, and use time in exchange for your loyalty and dependence on the sect, so that you are willing to contribute to the inheritance, this is the Huairou policy. However, time cannot be indefinite, if the sect never gets a response from you, sooner or later it will do it. ”
"Since the Second Elder confessed to me today, do you think I will be willing to contribute the inheritance?" Zhong Hou's face became more and more cold, and his respect for Mo Hongyue was gone, and some were just cynical.
Mo Hongyue knew that Zhong Hou was angry in his heart, so she didn't care about it, and continued: "Although I haven't been in contact with you for a long time, I also have a general understanding of your character. I know that no matter how good the relationship between the sect and you is, you will still not contribute to the inheritance selflessly in the future. In fact, it's very difficult for not only you, but even other cultivators to do this.
So today, I will simply make the words clear, let you know the attitude of the sect, and then you will face this matter with another mentality. This will not only protect you from being persecuted by the sect, but will also allow you to get more of what you want.
I plan to take you as an apprentice, also to protect you, and I can't bear to see any accidents on the road of growth, a good seedling of yours. Second, I also hope that with the help of your refining inheritance, I can make my strength go further. Three, I have taught countless disciples in my life, but I have never taught a refiner, and I hope to teach ... No... It's not to teach, it's to be able to witness the rise of a body refiner with your own eyes, and when your longevity runs out in the future, you won't have any regrets. ”
