Chapter 14: Multiple Forces
Qin Jishi's expression eased a lot after receiving Du Mijin's assurance, and his eyes softened a lot when he looked at Du Mijin, and he said to Du Mijin with some apologies: "Mijin, it is absolutely not okay to go down the mountain tomorrow, the master has already arranged for you, let the morning breeze escort you and go down the mountain overnight." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Huh? No way?! Master, I know you're in a hurry, but I've just woken up, and I'm half-dead, and I can't do anything even if I rush over overnight! And isn't Dimensity Stone still alive? No matter how anxious you are, you can't miss this night, right? Du Mijin saw that the master didn't care about his body at all, and forced himself to go down the mountain overnight, feeling sad and riding the wind and waves, he reflexively shouted loudly about his grievances.
"Shh Qin Jishi immediately made a silent gesture after hearing Du Mijin raise his voice, then got up and walked quickly to the door, pushed open the door and leaned out, carefully checked the movement outside the room, came back and sat next to Du Mijin and explained: "Majin, you don't know, being a teacher is not that you don't value your body, you are a lay disciple of many things, you shouldn't have told you a lot, but now you have to tell you a lot." The Upper Puritanism is about to usher in the selection of the head of the sect once every ten years, although the teacher is said to be the head of the sect, but this position is coveted by too many people, and who the next head will be, until the moment of election, no one can say. The attitude of the elders in the sect is unclear, which causes the forces of all parties to be ready to move, and on the surface it seems to be peaceful, but in fact, it is secretly turbulent. As a teacher, I am not afraid that the head of the house will lose the election, but I am afraid that someone in this stall will come out to obstruct this matter. Sending these two people back to ancient times is a great thing that is beneficial to all living beings and to this age, and if bad people interfere with them because of their own selfish desires, they will make a big mistake because of me, and I will naturally be guilty of a great sin. So you must not let too many people know about this matter, you need to do it in secret, and I will claim that you broke the battle and injured your body, and went home to rest for a while. If you go down the mountain overnight, you won't alarm others, and by the time someone notices that something is wrong, you're no longer in the mountain, and you can't start investigating it. Don't worry, as long as the two of you go out of the mountains and enter the city, Chenfeng will find a good hotel for you and come back, then you can rest in peace, and wait until your body recovers to do business. β
This was the first time Du Mijin had come into contact with the secrets of the sect, and he couldn't imagine that there would be such an unbearable power struggle in a monastic place like Shangqingjiao. Du Mijin was infected by Qin Jishi's upright mind, in such a situation, the first thing the master thought of was the great good for the benefit of everyone, Du Mijin felt that he should really do his best to help the master. So Lisuo stood up from the side of the bed, patted the folds on his clothes, and said to Qin Jishi dryly: "Okay, master, the apprentice understands." I packed up my things and went to go down the mountain with my senior brother. You should also go back to your room early to rest, if you are tired for so long, and if you stay too long, it will inevitably make people suspicious. Rest assured, Maze won't let you down! β
Qin Jishi saw Du Mijin take out a large backpack and began to rummage through the cabinets to load things into it, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Mijin, you should work hard this time, your dedication will definitely be remembered in your heart." It is inconvenient for me to send you down the mountain, there may be many unknown dangers here, and you must be careful everywhere. The teacher will also calculate your horoscope on the mountain every day, and if there is a big change, he will let Chenfeng find a way to notify you in advance, so that you can take precautions. You clean up later, go out a little later, and don't attract the attention of others. I'm going back to the room for the teacher, let's see you again in the future. β
Du Mijin only cared about sorting out his bags, and replied with a "hmm" without raising his head, so naturally he didn't see the meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth when Qin Jishi turned to leave. It wasn't until Qin Jishi left completely that Du Mijin suddenly felt a little confused, she seemed to have forgotten some important details and didn't ask, but what she had forgotten, she really couldn't think clearly, so she could only wait until she remembered it later.
Two hours later, after the Puritanism, the mountain bamboo forest.
The night wind is gusting, and everything is silent. Through the glimmer of the starry sky, you can vaguely see a man in black, walking hurriedly and quietly towards the depths of the bamboo forest. From time to time, he suddenly looked behind him and looked cautiously, for fear that he would be followed, which showed that he was secretive and cautious.
When he walked into the depths of the bamboo forest, he saw an old man standing with his back to him, as if he had been waiting here for a long time. The old man heard the movement behind him, and did not look back, but asked in a low voice: "Is she gone?" β
The man in black replied respectfully when he heard the interrogation: "Du Mijin has gone down with the morning wind half an hour ago. β
The old man nodded slightly silently, and then asked, "Did they find you?" But did anyone else be alarmed? β
The disciples used their exercises to restrain the sound of wheezing all the way, and only followed them far away out of the realm of the Upper Puritanism, and then came back to resume their lives. Du Mijin is still injured, and Morrowind is busy taking care of it, so he should not be discovered. The disciple also paid attention to the surroundings, and there was no trace of anyone except the disciple. β
After listening to this, the old man said approvingly: "Very good, you have done a good job." Then he said in an accentuated tone: "You go back, you will go down the mountain early tomorrow morning, keep an eye on Du Mijin, and report any news to me in time." Don't blame me for not reminding you, if something goes wrong, I won't spare it! β
After hearing this, a trace of fear flashed in the man in black, and he immediately clasped his hands into fists and knelt on one knee to reassure: "Master rest assured, the disciple must act carefully and never let the master down!" β
At the same time, Qin Jishi's junior brother Ke Huaigu's room was still not resting at the moment.
Ke Huaigu sat at the table of the Eight Immortals by the window, with a freshly brewed cup of tea on his left hand and an ancient book in his right hand, reading the book intently while drinking tea. Almost all the disciples in the Shangqing Sect knew that Ke Huaigu didn't like to go to bed early, so no one would pay attention to the light in his room at this moment. Even if others see it, Ke Huaigu seems to be no different from usual now.
Ke Huaigu slowly picked up the teacup, blew the hot air that had not yet dissipated, and took a sip of tea gently. Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to the door, as if he was talking to himself: "If you don't come in yet, you're not afraid of being discovered by others." β
Suddenly, I only heard the door "squeak" open, and then quickly closed, so fast that others didn't have time to react to what was happening, and saw that there was an instant young man dressed as a Taoist priest in Ke Huaigu's room, who was standing beside Ke Huaigu with his head slightly down.
Ke Huaigu didn't look up, but still looked at the book in his hand. The man was relieved, and just stood to the side in a daze, without a trace of expression on his calm face. The minutes and seconds passed, and the man remained motionless. Ke Huaigu didn't speak, he didn't speak, he just stood up as a statue without the slightest embarrassment, and the room was quiet as if there was no such person.
About an hour or so later, Ke Huaigu opened his mouth indifferently and said, "Do you know why you were punished for standing for so long?" β
When the man heard this, he knew that the master had finally lost his breath, and for a moment it seemed as if his soul was possessed, and finally moved his shoulders slightly, raised his head, and whispered to Ke Huaigu to admit his mistake: "The disciple should go directly into the house to return after finishing his work, and should not stand outside the door, if someone finds out, it will ruin the master's plan." The disciple knew that he was wrong, and asked the master to punish him. β
Ke Huaigu listened to his apology in a very sincere tone, and he realized from his heart that what he did was wrong, so he didn't pursue it any more, and said casually: "Didn't I punish you just now?" Forget it this time, but there can't be a next time, otherwise I'll even punish you with this profit, you know?! β
When the man heard this, his heart was relaxed, and a trace of joy appeared on his face, which made people finally feel that this was a flesh-and-blood person. He responded, half respectfully and half coquettishly: "The disciple knows, and he will never do it again next time." β
Ke Huaigu was infected by the man's emotions, and he was not as serious as just now, he put down the book in his hand, smiled slightly and asked him, "How long did you stand just now?" β
After hearing this, the man lowered his head in frustration and muttered, "How long is it, in fact, it's only two minutes." β
Ke Huaigu looked at him like this, and said with some encouragement: "I only noticed it in two minutes, it seems that you have improved a lot in light skills, and this speed of progress is unmatched by the younger generation of disciples." β
The man heard the comforting element in Ke Huai's ancient words, and said not very appreciatively: "I have already used my strength to hold my breath, and I am standing in a dead corner that will never be flawed, so I have only been hidden for two minutes, where is it considered to be diligent." β
The gossip and homely conversation between the two people in the room, if it falls on the ears of outsiders, it will definitely drop its jaws, who would have thought that Ke Huaigu, who is usually known for his seriousness and harshness, would actually have such a time when he put down the shelves and was approachable?
Ke Huaigu listened to the man's words, and said not very agreeingly: "You don't have to be presumptuous. Don't underestimate these two minutes, if used correctly, they are enough to make your opponent die ten times or eight times before you know it. β
After listening to Ke Huaigu's words, the man immediately lowered his eyebrows, and lowered his head with a straight face: "The master is serious, the disciple doesn't dare!" β
Ke Huaigu looked at the man's respectful and self-contained appearance, stood up and patted the man's shoulder, and said soothingly: "You are too careful, I don't think you want to harm me." Although your skills are a little rival among the young disciples, they are still inferior to me. After speaking, the conversation changed, and then asked: "Let's talk about serious things, has anyone from the Qin Jishi Sect gone down the mountain to find out?" β
The man's face changed seamlessly for a second with the words, and he also turned on the rigorous mode of talking about business, and replied seriously: "The disciple has already found out that Master Qin sent his closed disciple Du Mijin down the mountain, accompanied by Senior Brother Chenfeng. The disciple overheard the conversation between Senior Brother Chenfeng and Du Mijin, and it seemed that Senior Brother Chenfeng was just escorting Du Majin for a ride, and he would return to the mountains in a few days, and Du Majin should be the only one who went on the mission. After thinking about it, he added, "But the disciple accidentally discovered another thing. On the way to Huishan's recovery, the disciple saw another man in black following Du Mijin and Senior Brother Chenfeng, looking at the light skills he used, he should also be a member of this sect. The disciple observed for a while, and saw that he was only following them, and had no intention of harming them, and the disciple did not know the other party's intentions, so he did not show up, and he should not have discovered me. β
After hearing this, Ke Huaigu thought for a moment, and said clearly: "Sure enough, as I expected, this old fox." Qimo, it's none of your business here, you go and call your senior brother Liang Youhuan, and you can go back to your room to rest. β
The man named "Qimo" frowned when he heard this, he stopped talking a little, thought about it, and still stiffened his neck and said: "Master, forgive the disciple for offending, the master has a reason to act, and the disciple does not dare to speculate." It's just that Senior Uncle Qin sent Senior Sister Mijin, will there be something wrong with us sending Senior Brother Youhuan? β
After listening to Qimo's words, Ke Huaigu smiled with his own bearing, and he said incomprehensibly: "What you are worried about, I naturally know." It's just a lifetime of life, and it has its own destiny. Send Youhuan to go, you can't see people in your kung fu, Youhuan is the best candidate; Second, I also want to see if fate really can't be changed. As for Yu Huan, all the results depend on his own creation. You don't need to say much, just call you Senior Brother Youhuan over, I have my own measure. Remember, don't show your kung fu in front of other juniors, understand? β
"Yes, the disciple knows." Hearing this, Qimo received the order and turned around and walked out of the room.
