Chapter 231: Meet
The earth-shaking chaos struck suddenly, and the old grievances and interest disputes accumulated in the peaceful era broke out together, and the sinister and greedy people's hearts are now vividly displayed.
Donglin Academy wants to stay out of the matter, which is completely whimsical.
Unless you have absolute strength and can not be afraid of the threat of the imperial court and the monk alliance, you will have to make a choice sooner or later, whether it is black or white.
From the perspective of a bystander, Chen Ting is almost insightful of this.
"On weekdays, I claim to be righteous, but when chaos really happens, the ugly face of chasing fame and fortune and retribution will all be revealed, and this person's heart is really the most difficult to figure out ......"
couldn't help but laugh, Chen Ting suddenly felt that the situation in Weiyang Mansion had become very interesting now.
Of course, he had no intention of getting involved.
Whether it was the alliance of monks sweeping away the inherent class and changing the world, or the court turning the tide and suppressing all rebellions, it didn't have much impact on him.
It has been, and it will continue to be.
Therefore, he stayed here, and he had no intention of saving the Donglin Academy from water and fire, but he just wanted to stay here for a few days, so as to practice, and by the way, inquire about some news about the Mihui Valley and the Qisu Liang Clan, and prepare for the capture of Baiqiong Zilan.
Thinking casually, Chen Ting soon entered a state of cultivation, running the exercises Zhou Tian, and constantly ingesting the Xuanyuan Qi of the Xuanyuan Purple Gold Furnace.
The Destiny Palace was successfully cultivated, and he recovered before he left Linji City, and now he naturally wants to go further and pass the stage of opening up the Seven Destiny Palaces as soon as possible.
The physical body is already at the level of the Yi Pulse Period, and the stable ones cannot be stable, and there is no need to hone the physique like an ordinary Destiny Palace Consummation Monk, and the rest is just to continue to practice, and to be brave and refined.
When Chen Ting was immersed in penance, he was extremely unquiet in the canyon at the moment.
Inside a quaint hall.
Tu Lie and several other monks of the Donglin Academy were talking to each other, about the big and small affairs after the suppression of the rebellion before, about the troubles caused by the escape of Hu Dingchuan and other monks, about Chen Ting, whose identity and strength were very mysterious, and about the situation in the entire Weiyang Mansion.
Sometimes there are differences of opinion, there are fierce verbal exchanges, sometimes there are agreements, and there are too many things to discuss for future development.
……
In the canyon, inside the Lianqing Temple.
As one of the two upper courtyards of Donglin Academy, there are very many monks in this Lianqing Academy, but most of them are not high, and there are very few people who are perfect in Lingquan.
Therefore, when Zhang Weihe, a figure from the half-step Life Palace, came here, he immediately attracted the attention of many people, especially after discovering that this was still a foreign monk, it was even more eye-catching.
Of course, cultivation is extremely strong, and she can often win respect, especially since she still has the status of a guest, so it is much easier to do things.
After some inquiry, she soon found the residence where her little brother was.
"Ah Ming, don't come out yet!"
Outside a relatively simple hut, Zhang Weihe snorted, with a little sourness in her eyes.
This hut is relatively remote in the Lianqing Temple, and there are no monks walking around, which is extremely deserted, and sometimes the cool breeze makes people feel cold.
At this time, a thin boy of seventeen or eighteen years old walked out of the hut, looking at Zhang Weihe with some sneer.
"Weihe... Sister, why are you here? ”
Seeing the person clearly, the young man was slightly stunned, and then said with a little surprise.
This thin young man is naturally the younger brother who Zhang Weihe has always been thinking about, Zhang Ming.
Dressed in a gray-white robe, it is very simple, it looks quite neat, but it can't hide the weak and thin body under the long shirt, the eyebrows are clear, the face is fair, although he has not gotten rid of his childishness, but he is also a young man.
Seeing this, Zhang Weihe's beautiful face couldn't help but show a soft color, but she immediately straightened her face: "What, listen to what you mean, it seems that you don't want me to come?" ”
In the past, every year as long as she had the opportunity, she would take the time to come to Weiyang Mansion to visit this younger brother, although every time she had to listen to Wei Shuxu talk about how Zhang Ming was not doing her job, how she was lazy and lazy, and causing trouble, but she did not be stern once, but only persuaded with good words, blindly comforting and encouraging.
Who called this her only relative on earth?
But this time it's different, now the entire Taiyue Prefecture is in chaos, everywhere is full of beacon fires and wolf smoke, and dangers are lurking, and the Lingquan monk is no better than mortals in this troubled world!
She came from thousands of miles away, which was already a very risky move, naturally not only to determine whether the little brother was safe, but also with the heavy responsibility of teaching by word and deed.
Before she came, she had already made a decision, she must fulfill her responsibilities as a sister, even if it is so strict that there is a gap between her sister and brother, she must let Zhang Ming get rid of all kinds of vices and embark on the right path of cultivation!
Thinking like this, Zhang Weihe's face became more and more serious, almost to the point of being unkind.
"No, I'm just a little surprised, the situation is so turbulent now, how did you come here, Sister Weihe?"
Zhang Ming had never seen Zhang Weihe so serious, so he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and hurriedly smiled.
Hearing this, Zhang Weihe was very surprised: "Ah Ming, you have really changed, and now you are beginning to care about the current situation, very good, this is really good......
With a faint sigh, Zhang Weihe was a little stunned, and she didn't know whether she was happy that Zhang Ming was starting to be sensible, or she was lamented by the death of the little brother who needed her to deal with everything in the past.
"I've just recently thought about it, since I want to be a cultivator, I naturally can't keep doing nothing, with Sister Shusu and Sister You've been blessing, I can get to where I am today, but if I am alone one day in the future, I ......"
Seeing Zhang Weihe's face getting cold, Zhang Ming's heart sank, and he hurriedly said, "Sister, I don't mean anything else, just an analogy." If there really is one day, like me before, how can I survive in this cruel world? ”
"It seems that you have indeed experienced a lot of things recently, let's not talk about these things first, I heard Sister Shusu say that you had some problems with your spiritual power a few days ago, tell me about it in detail......
After all, it was a reunion after a long absence, and Zhang Weihe didn't want to say too many frustrating words, and began to shift the topic to other directions.
When they entered the hut, the two siblings began to talk at length, and there were a lot of things they wanted to talk to each other.
But in the end, it finally came back to the question of how to deal with oneself in today's troubled times.
This is a matter of life and death, and it is also the first priority that is unavoidable!
After a long conversation, Zhang Weihe found that her younger brother had really changed a lot, his attitude towards cultivation and even his concept of life had changed a lot, and even occasionally made her feel a little strange, as if she was a monk with rich life experience in front of her, and she didn't need to worry too much about it at all.
Putting aside these illusions, Zhang Weihe suddenly looked solemn: "Ah Ming, you should have seen what happened earlier, Donglin Academy is now in crisis, and it may be attacked by the chaotic party at any time, this is a huge death vortex, you must think of a way out as soon as possible!" ”
Now that the internal troubles of Donglin School have occurred, the fear of external troubles is inevitable, and there are many people who covet the spiritual land here in Donglin School, which is almost known to everyone.
Therefore, although the Donglin Academy is not yet in danger, there is also a huge danger, and whether it can survive in this troubled era is a question.
Is it to stick to this place, hope to unite as one, and stubbornly defend the mountain gate?
It's better to leave early and find another way to make a living.
This is a question that every monk of the Donglin Academy needs to think about carefully.
"Sister, what do you mean?"
Zhang Ming's eyes rolled, knowing that this was the main purpose of Zhang Weihe's coming here.
Zhang Weihe said categorically: "Leave Donglin Academy!" ”
"But after all, I'm still a disciple of Donglin Academy, even if the restrictions of the academy are relaxed, but it's not like you can go if you want to, not to mention a lot of processes, maybe it will attract criticism from others, and there will be more trouble, besides, where can you go after leaving?"
As he spoke, Zhang Ming looked a little helpless.
At this time of crisis, as a member of the academy, he has the obligation to protect the Donglin Academy, and in the current situation, it is too difficult to find an excuse to leave.
And among them, there may even be a big danger, which must not be taken lightly!
"You're right, that's right, it's impossible for you to leave Donglin Academy alone, even if I open my mouth in the name of Master, I may not be able to do it......"
Zhang Weihe actually knew the difficulty in this, but since she said so, she naturally had her own plans: "But I know a senior who is in the Donglin Academy at this time, as long as he is willing to come forward, he will definitely be able to ensure that you leave this place safely!" ”
What Zhang Weihe said was naturally Chen Ting.
After such a long period of contact, she had an almost blind trust in Chen Ting's cultivation strength, which not only came from her master's attitude towards her, but also from the deep impression she had left by witnessing Chen Ting's actions several times, and she was very sure that this must be a powerful figure far superior to ordinary Life Palace monks!
"And, Ah Ming, my sister also hopes that you can worship this senior as a teacher, with your high-grade gold and wood two-line spiritual root, it is not impossible to do this!"
Zhang Weihe finally said her ultimate goal, once it can be achieved, then she, the little brother, will no longer have to worry about her.
Zhang Ming, don't look at the cultivation is not high, he is nearly eighteen years old, and he has only just turned into a spiritual power, but in fact, his cultivation talent is not bad, and he is even better than most people, and it can be said that he has excellent qualifications.
He has never performed well, but he didn't focus on cultivation in the past, but liked to do some other miscellaneous things, such as drawing talismans, alchemy, etc., which led to the slow improvement of cultivation.
"Sister, aren't you kidding me? With my spiritual root qualifications, even if it is in Donglin Academy, it is not for nothing that I am better, why did the senior you said accept me as an apprentice? ”
After Zhang Ming learned of Zhang Weihe's plan, he couldn't help but smile wryly, feeling that this idea was really a bit unrealistic.
And deep down in his heart, in fact, he doesn't want to worship anyone as a teacher now, this is a big secret about him, and he must not let outsiders know, even if it is his own sister!
