Chapter 90: This Doesn't Work
There is one thing that Yuan Daozi never thought of, at this time, Zhengyan is no longer a child who can forget things in three or five days.
Several things throughout the day made her view of Shi An completely change, from sympathy to appreciation to trust, and there was a trace of emotion that she couldn't explain herself, and her husband was also dissatisfied to full of suspicion.
Back in her cave, she uncharacteristically did not go to her sisters to chat or practice, but sat at the table, took out a pen and paper to sort out all the questions of the day. The little beast An An was also lying on the table very well-behaved, with his head lying on his two front paws, and his two round eyes staring at Zheng Yan's every move.
After a while, a dense pile was drawn on the paper, and Zheng Yan's thoughts gradually became clear.
If Brother Shi is lying, and regardless of his purpose, it means that it is true that he stole the Biyun Sword and stole the secret method of the sect, then what is the purpose of his return to the sect, is it to deceive the "Four Elephants Heart Method"?
Besides, it was Master Yuan Miao who brought him back to the sect, and it must be that the ancestor trusted him very much, and he could easily obtain it directly from the ancestor, so why bother to go back to the sect to deceive him? If he really stole the secret method of the sect, then returning to the sect would be tantamount to throwing himself into a net, wouldn't this act be unwise? If he really stole the Biyun Sword, then why did the Taigong only let me find the secret method, instead of looking for the sword by the way?
Also, if that secret method is really the stuff of the sect, and even the Taigong, who is the current sect master, has never seen it, and has stayed in the Sixiangguan for less than ten days before and after, and then has been thousands of miles away for nearly 20 years, how can Brother Shi get it? It is impossible to steal it directly from the sect, that is, someone gave it to him, who can it be? Yuan Miao Master Ancestor and the Qing Ancient Taishi Ancestor who framed Brother Shi are just elders, and they can't get access to the things of the sect master, who can Brother Shi get gifts from?
In the end, according to Taigong, the sect has never used that secret method only because of the conditions, but the conditions of a small formation shop run by Brother Shi will be better than that of a large sect?
In the afternoon, Zhengfen told that Master Yuan Miao's words when he was escorted to the back mountain road, which further confirmed that he was not possessed by demons, if he was crazy, how could he know so clearly that the disciples were afraid of the power of the sect master, how could he come up with a way to inform Yun An to flee quickly, and also know that he used to choose as a closed disciple to tempt those outer disciples who had no future at all? But if he was really captured by Taigong, this was very consistent with what Brother Shi said before.
Besides, Taigong and Brother Shi did not have any intersection before, how could he come to the conclusion that Brother Shi was a liar in an afternoon's work, in comparison, Master Yuan Miao was willing to exchange the lives of those disciples for Brother Shi's lives, although the words were extreme, but the affirmation of Brother Shi was more convincing.
If what Brother Shi said is true, then the above questions can be explained, then it is not difficult to conclude that no matter whether Brother Shi really knows how to convert the attributes of the spirit stone, but this is definitely not a thing of the sect, Taigong just wants to deceive Brother Shi back first, and then obtain the secret method from him, if he obtains the punishment of stealing the sword, this is why he should not be cleared of the injustice of Brother Shi; With such an analysis, it is undoubtedly certain that he was just a pawn used by Taigong to deceive Brother Shi's secret method.
Thinking about what Tai Fair Day did, he knew about sending a large number of things from the sect back to the family, and he strongly opposed it, but Taigong always complained that he had no sense of family, and the people in the family also relied on the power of the sect to do a lot of shameful things, and he really couldn't stand it, if not, how could he take the opportunity of cultivation to leave his home?
"My Wei family is sorry for doing too many things......"
Thinking about these clearly, Zheng Yan's tears couldn't stop falling, for himself, and for Brother Shi, who felt sorry for himself.
......
Shi An was not calm tonight, and Zhengyan's sentence "I feel distressed" at noon had already caused ripples in his heart. Zheng Yan's immature and delicate face has always appeared in front of her, and she also recalls the care she inadvertently revealed when she talked to herself. The meaning of naming the little beast "An An", and the situation of the petite body holding An An tightly, self-evidently illustrates the girl's thoughts.
"Now is not the time to think about this!" he admonished himself. There are still many secrets that cannot be confided to others in the future, and there may be a person who will bravely bear all this with her in the future, but she will not be Zhengyan, she will not be the girl who is so petite that she pities herself and makes her want to take care of it all the time, the girl who is simple-minded and kind-hearted, the girl who is straightforward and fast-talking, and the cultivation foundation is not good, she may just be a beautiful passerby in her life journey, a passerby who makes herself unforgettable.
People want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Shi An always wants to put down his reverie and prepare to enter the time, but Zhengyan's shadow unconsciously appears in his mind.
However, it seemed that it was difficult to achieve meditation cultivation, so he simply threw the sixty-four near-mature divine consciousness and the two small and yellow split souls into the futon, and each of the big and small blue split souls went to study the middle few volumes of the "Continuation of the Formation Tips", and he lay down on the small bed in the wooden house, and fell asleep crankily.
This is his first sleep after entering the foundation building period for eleven years, there is no dream, and it is not as sweet as he imagined, but it seems to have become a mortal who does not need to keep the extremely lonely and boring cultivation in his heart all the time, which is also a special taste.
Zheng Yan also unconsciously lay on the table and fell asleep, but she was far from being as stable and tranquil as Shi An, and her face showed a look of pleasure, distress, fear, or sadness from time to time. An An honestly curled up in a ball and fell asleep on the messy piece of paper on the table that was messed up by Zheng Yan.
......
In the next few days, Zheng Yan would go to the cabin by the lake of meditation whenever she had time, or bring a bouquet of flowers, or a fresh and interesting knick-knack, or a dish that she had just learned to cook, regardless of whether there would be someone sent by Taigong to spy on her.
She even had a sense of revenge in her heart, "Let you monitor, I'll blatantly go to him, see what else can you do?" And An An always lazily lay on Zhengyan's shoulder, as well-behaved as a domestic cat, without the slightest appearance as a demon beast.
Shi Anxin was full of contradictions, he didn't want Zheng Yan to appear in front of him from time to time, which would not only mess up his cultivation mood, but also push himself closer to Zheng Yan;
Every time Zheng Yan arrived, there was no excitement on his face, but he was extremely happy in his heart, and whenever his thoughts accompanied Zheng Yan to leave, he couldn't help but blame himself: "Today's words are too much, today's expression is too rich, and today's behavior is a little misunderstood by her, it can't go on like this, it will make it more difficult for himself and Zheng Yan to extricate themselves." And after a few breaths, he forgot all this again, and indulged in the warmth of the bird's voice engraved in his mind.
Every time Zheng Yan came, he told himself that this was the last time he had a relationship, and he was eager to end the meeting, but as soon as he saw Zheng Yan, he was immersed in that physical and mental pleasure, and often always felt that the time to get together passed too quickly, and whenever it was over, he couldn't help but agree to Zheng Yan's proposal for the next meeting, and even looked forward to this moment coming early.
......
Recently, Yuan Daozi kept hearing the clues of Zheng Yan's whereabouts, but there was nothing he could do, it was completely impossible to let the people who were watching enter the wooden house to understand what the two of them were talking about, especially afraid that Zheng Yan would inadvertently tell Shi An about the secret method of spying, so that this kid would be more vigilant. I couldn't help but feel anxious in my heart, hoping that Chen Qi could return to the sect as soon as possible to resume his life, so that he could make one last attempt.
Yuan Daozi was anxious for another reason, because of the mining of ethyl crystal ore in Zijun Mountain, the friction with the Jihai faction became more and more frequent.
Both he and the steward of the border of the Extreme Sea Sect are making the same plan: since the mine is near the junction of the two sects, and the reserves of ethyl crystals on both sides are roughly the same, then slowly encroach on the minerals of the other party's boundary from the underground pits, and mine one more piece is a piece, and then slowly mine your own ore later.
As a result, the two sides dug their own holes, and the underground mine at the junction was full of holes, and from time to time there was a situation where the two sides were opened. Each accuses the other party of invading the territory of their own sect, and if they do not give in to each other, they can only fight, and the pit meets the pit, and the top of the mountain meets the top of the mountain. Fortunately, the two sides sent out some outer disciples who were miners in the early stage of Qi cultivation or recruited mortals, and the casualties were not large, and no one cared about the deaths and injuries of these ants, so they did not attract the attention of the high-level of both sides, but they just demanded to increase mining efforts in exchange for more benefits.
However, the situation has changed a little recently, and the figure of the disciple of the Jihai Sect in the main mine tunnel, which is the most ferocious between the two sides, has appeared, although he has not done it, but the meaning of his deterrent four phenomena is getting heavier and heavier, and Yuan Daozi is anxious about how to deal with this matter.
