Jiang Zhongxi was concentrating on driving the Five Ghost Handling Technique, when suddenly a sharp exclamation came from the other end of the corridor, it would have been somewhat affected if he was disturbed when casting the spell, but the impact would not be very great, and the warlock's nerves were not so fragile.
However, now Jiang Zhongxi's psychological pressure is very great, he is gambling with Fang Shi is his own life, anyone who puts his own life on the gambling table, it is inevitable that he will become nervous and worried, therefore, the scream on the other side may not be nothing, but the meaning of this scream is very heavy.
When Jiang Zhongxi realized that this scream might mean that Fang Shi had successfully taken things out, Jiang Zhongxi's psychological defense line suddenly collapsed, and there were already some small horse-drawn carts that originally drove the Five Ghost Handling Technique, but now this pony was actually weak and mentally collapsed, and the huge yin and yang aura suddenly lost control, and then rushed towards Jiang Zhongxi like a flood that burst the embankment.
Jiang Zhongxi was shocked, he woke up at this time, but the situation was irreparable, Jiang Zhongxi's head was empty, and a strong regret and unwillingness filled his chest violently, turning into a stream of bloody blood. It squirted out with a pop.
But it didn't work. There was no way to alleviate the backlash of the huge runaway yin and yang qi. Ilya, who was standing behind him, pinched the cross on her chest in her hand, and hurriedly read the scriptures, and a pale golden light shrouded herself and Jiang Zhongxi in it.
Unfortunately, the defense formed by this pale golden light only lasted less than half a second, and then it shattered into a cloud of stardust with a thud, and Ilya took a few steps back as if she had been hit hard, and her face flushed. Then it turned white.
When she calmed down and looked at Jiang Zhongxi again, she was surprised to find that Jiang Zhongxi did not stand on the ground as she imagined, but sat on the stool in a daze, looking at the other side of the corridor in astonishment, and Ilya also quickly looked up.
The corridor was blocked by a screen, and the abbot of Fatong was looking in surprise.
"Master Jiang, how's the situation?"
Jiang Zhongxi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Thank you master for coming to the rescue, I'm fine." β
Abbot Fatong shook his head and gently pushed the screen open. While saying, "Master Jiang thanked the wrong person, it was Elder Fang who saved you." β
Jiang Zhongxi looked at Fang Shi in surprise. But he immediately saw the wooden box Fang Shi was holding in his hand, and his face suddenly turned a little paler.
This time, he was stunned for a while before standing up, and respectfully arched his hand and said, "Thank you Elder Fang for saving me, I was defeated." β
Fang Shi nodded: "You admit defeat, that's good, then the gamble can be over, you give the things to the abbot of Fatong, as for your life, I'm not interested in taking it, you can do it yourself, I'd better go back and talk to the elders first." β
After speaking, Fang Shi put the wooden box in his hand on the stool he was sitting on just now, turned around and took Xia Yuyao's hand and left.
Jiang Zhongxi stood stupidly, his head was chaotic, and he didn't know how to do it, and the abbot of Fatong didn't urge him, just stood aside and watched, Ilya and Claire glanced at each other, although their eyes were full of regret, but they were also quietly relieved.
Ilya waited for a while before he spoke: "Zhong Xi, you have done your best, that's it, let's go." β
Jiang Zhongxi's body was shocked, and he woke up from his state of trance, he shook his head with a miserable smile, raised his sleeve and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took out a dark yellow silk cloth from his pocket, and respectfully sent it to Abbot Fatong with both hands.
"Please also ask the abbot master to hand it over to Elder Fang, the juniors are ignorant and offend Elder Fang, the juniors have no face to see Elder Fang again, please apologize to the master on his behalf, the juniors will return to the mountain gate, and ask the elders to supervise the execution of the gambling contract."
Abbot Fatong sighed lightly: "Amitabha, Master Jiang misunderstood what Elder Fang meant, Elder Fang didn't have the idea of taking your life, the reason why you let you return to the mountain gate may have another deep meaning, as long as you go back, you will understand that now that your Yuan Shen is seriously injured, for a warlock, there is no difference from losing your life, so you don't have to be obsessed with it anymore." β
Jiang Zhongxi raised his head, and a tear flowed down his pale cheeks uncontrollably: "Thank you for the master's enlightenment, the younger generation has always regarded themselves very highly, and they thought that the world was so big that they could go there, but today I realized that they were sitting in a well and watching the sky, arrogant and ignorant." Dare to ask the master, how did Elder Fang take out the box? β
Abbot Fatong's expression changed, and his eyes revealed an irrepressible admiration.
"The box seemed to emerge from the void and suddenly appeared in front of Elder Fang."
"What?!" Jiang Zhongxi's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Abbot Fatong in disbelief.
Abbot Fatong nodded: "That's it, I'm not the only one who has seen this miracle together, is this the Five Ghost Handling Technique?" It's amazing! β
Jiang Zhongxi's heart was like turning over the river, and his pale face was flushed with excitement, but this ruddy appearance was unusually sick.
"This, of course this is not the Five Ghost Handling Technique, the Five Ghost Handling Technique is to move items slowly, open the door lock, and then move in the normal way, Elder Fang, I don't know what this spell is, is it the Broken Void Aerial Retriever?"
The abbot of Fatong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly nodded and said, "I don't know, maybe I am." β
Jiang Zhongxi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Abbot, you can ask Elder Fang to know, it seems that the junior Elder Fang of the Five Ghost Handling Technique really doesn't look down on it, and the junior actually thinks that it is really a humiliation, today I trouble the abbot master, and the junior says goodbye." β
Jiang Zhongxi left the academy with the equally surprised blonde beauty, but after this time, Ilya was even more determined to worship under the Fangshi Gate. But she knew. I'm afraid it's not that easy. But she didn't want to give up, as she herself said, her thirst for knowledge, her curiosity about the unknown, even stronger than faith.
After leaving the Seven Star Academy, Jiang Zhongxi didn't care about resting, so he directly contacted Elder Shi, who knew that Elder Shi had already flown back to the sect. Jiang Zhongxi was a little confused about this, but also a little clear.
He threw Ilya and the two of them down, bought the first flight ticket and flew directly to Ludong.
Jiang Zhongxi only stabilized the injury of the Yuan Shen a little on the road, and he didn't care about repairing the Yuan Shen in an all-round way, and now he just wanted to know if his guess was true.
Laoshan Mountain is not precipitous, but it looks quite beautiful, on the picturesque mountains, dotted with some palace pavilions, it looks fairy-like. It is worthy of being a famous mountain in China.
Laoshan Mountain is a little deserted in winter, but you can still see pedestrians on the mountain road. While admiring the beauty of the mountains and rivers and the picturesque palace view, these pedestrians did not know that in this mountain, in those places they would never have been able to visit, there were still some magical people hidden.
After Jiang Zhongxi returned to the sect, he was immediately summoned to the council hall, except for the elders and the head of the sect, there was not a single other disciple in the council hall, and even within a hundred meters of the main hall, there was no sect member.
Jiang Zhongxi, who has a heart, naturally noticed this, but he was already mentally prepared, but he was not deterred by this, not to mention that he was seriously injured now, and this kind of Cheng DΓΉ's injury was probably difficult to recover, so in addition to some unresolved doubts in his heart, he did not take life and death to heart.
Seeing the elders in the council hall and the head of the high seat, Jiang Zhongxi saluted the elders very respectfully.
"Disciple Jiang Zhongxi visits the head and the elders."
"Hmph, do you still have the face to come back? If you lose the gamble, shouldn't you put your life on the line? β
Elder Shi changed the kind old man's face that day, and asked with a stern expression.
Jiang Zhongxi had an answer in his heart, if it was in the past, he would definitely be angry and argue, but now, he just smiled faintly.
"The disciple is ashamed of the teachings and expectations of the elders, he is not good at learning, and he has lost face to the Laoshan faction, and he should have ended himself early, but he was ordered by Elder Fang to let me go back to the mountain and report to the elders, and then let the elders decide Zhong Xi's life and death."
Elder Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a dark face: "Are you still lucky?" It's okay for our Laoshan faction to lose, but it's not okay to lose, since we have made a gambling contract in public, we naturally have to strictly enforce it. β
Some of the elders nodded, some were silent, Jiang Zhongxi swept over everyone's faces, Jiang Zhongxi didn't look at his master's face, he didn't want to embarrass his master, and finally his gaze stopped on the face of the master.
Under Jiang Zhongxi's gaze, the head of the sect cleared his throat and said: "Elder Shi is right, Fang Shi obviously wants to see our jokes, our Laoshan faction must not fold this face, Zhong Xi, what you have done for the sect, the sect will naturally have something to pay off, you can rest assured." β
"Thank you for taking care of the master, the disciple is guilty."
The muscles on the boss's face tugged.
Jiang Zhongxi calmed down the agitation in his heart a little, raised his head and said: "The disciple still has a question to ask Elder Shi, and after that, there is another important matter to report to the elders, after doing this, the disciple wants to go home to see his parents and brothers, and then the disciple will go back to the mountain to finish his life." β
The head hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and said, "What do you want to know?" β
Jiang Zhongxi looked into Elder Shi's eyes: "The disciple wants to ask Elder Shi, before preparing for this gamble, how much does Elder Shi think we have to win?" β
"There are more than seventy percent, if I do it, it will be higher!"
Jiang Zhongxi looked at Elder Shi's eyes, and saw that he answered without hesitation, Jiang Zhongxi had already understood in his heart, Elder Shi was not sure in advance, their purpose was not to win, but to lose, to die by themselves, in order to get rid of Ilya's unreasonable demands, and he was an outcast from the beginning, and he was stupid to think that he was the target of key training, it was really funny.
"Haha" Jiang Zhongxi was stunned for a moment and then laughed loudly, and the loud laughter echoed in the hall.
Everyone was a little uncomfortable with laughter, especially Elder Shi, who drank with a dark face: "Shut up, you waste who doesn't know the dignity of the elders and the young, is this the place where you can be presumptuous?" β
"Haha I'm sorry, Elder Shi, let me be presumptuous for once, there is no future anyway. I understand that the elders had already planned to sacrifice me from the beginning, but the matter has come to this point, I really have no complaints, the disciples are incompetent, it is my duty to do my part for the sect, and it is a blessing to let the elders take care of my relatives, which is also worth it. β
Jiang Zhongxi calmed down, and the elders were a little embarrassed by what he said, but at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief.
Elder Shi frowned, "Then what are you laughing at?" β
Jiang Zhongxi glanced at Elder Shi with disdain: "Elder Shi, I'm just laughing at Elder Shi, you are really a frog at the bottom of the well!"
