Chapter 55: The Way of Sycophants

readx;

Ding Peng was secretly angry, and suddenly Wang Hao'er hurriedly reported that a disciple of the Jin Group had been poisoned and had fallen into a coma. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Hao'er belonged to the soil group, Ding Peng wondered why he came to report the matter of the gold group, but seeing his anxious look, he suddenly realized that this disciple of the gold group must be Wang Hao'er's original horse bandit brother.

"Let's go, hurry up and take a look!" Ding Peng also made a anxious look, and asked Wang Hao'er to lead the way to a house not far away.

This wooden house is slightly smaller than Ding Peng's room, but there are four people living in it, and at this time, the Xingzhu disciples who heard the news have already had a lot of people outside the house, and they are talking about it, and when they saw the head of the house coming, they hurriedly got out of the way.

Ding Peng walked into the room and saw a big man with a strong physique lying on the ground, his face was dark, his eyes were closed, and the corners of his mouth were already foaming at the corners of his mouth.

"Don't move, don't feed him the antidote. Ding Peng said in a deep voice.

The situation is unknown, and the general antidote can only be prescribed for the symptoms, otherwise it will aggravate the injury.

When Shi Jian saw Ding Peng coming, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Master......"

"What's going on? Who was there before, and how did they faint when they saw him?"

Ding Peng swept the ground, there was a poison refining wood tripod and some tools and medicines, this disciple should be practicing poison skills and suddenly fainted, I don't know where the stubble happened.

A disciple with a particularly big head came out and said: "Master, the disciple was there just now, Wang Lu was cultivating the Seven Yin Fingers before, the disciple was busy with other things, he didn't pay attention for a while, and suddenly heard a muffled snort, and when he turned around, he saw Wang Lu lying on the ground, his hands and feet twitching, the disciple hurriedly went out to call someone, and when he came back, he was already unconscious." ”

Ding Peng nodded, picked up the poison refining tripod on the ground, opened the lid of the tripod to observe it carefully, and put the wooden tripod to his nose and sniffed it slightly, already knowing it in his heart.

"Master, is Wang Lu still saved?" Wang Hao'er asked with a worried face.

Wang Lu is his cousin, who has followed Wang Hao'er from birth to death since he was a child, and is closer than his own brother, Wang Hao'er's anxiety is beyond words.

Ding Peng was noncommittal, and said to Shi Jian: "Help him to the bed, pull him and let him sit cross-legged." ”

Shi Jian and Wang Hao'er hurriedly acted according to Ding Peng's instructions, and after arranging Wang Lu's body posture, Ding Peng stood behind Wang Lu and slapped the Shendao acupoint on his back.

With a bang, Ding Peng hit Wang Lu's acupoint with a palm, only to see Wang Lu shake all over, suddenly open his mouth that had been bitten tightly just now, and spurt out a mouthful of dirty blood.

Ding Peng withdrew his palm, and his condensation power struck it again, this palm was the body pillar acupoint, and Wang Lu spurted out a mouthful of dirty blood with black blood clots.

The third palm is the spiritual platform, Ding Peng's palm condensation is very time-consuming, the first two palms he looks calm, seems to be effortless, the third palm has not been hit, there are already big drops of sweat rolling down from the forehead, Wang Haoer's heart is also raised, he is worried in his heart, and he is grateful, it can be seen that the head of the family in order to save his cousin Wang Lu, should do his best, very laborious.

The people watching at the door also had different expressions, some with frightened expressions, this was afraid when they saw Wang Lu almost gave their lives when he practiced poisonous skills, and some looked worried, this is a person with many hearts who thought that they might encounter the same danger in the future, and some of them had admiration on their faces, this was to see Ding Peng as the head of the family, and he was impressed by the fact that he would save the door at all costs, and the psychology of each person was different.

Ding Peng finally hit the third palm, this palm hit Wang Lu's Lingtai acupoint, Wang Lu opened his mouth, but did not spray blood again, but exhaled a slightly black gas, after this exhalation, Wang Lu's face gradually ruddy, closed eyes began to tremble, and slowly woke up.

Wang Hao'er was overjoyed, grabbed his younger brother's shoulder, and said loudly: "San'er, San'er, wake up quickly, are you okay?"

With a painful sigh, Wang Lu opened his eyes, looked around, and asked puzzledly, "I...... What's wrong with me?"

Wang Hao'er said: "You suddenly fainted while practicing, it was the master who saved you, and you didn't get out of bed and quickly thanked the master." ”

Wang Lu suddenly, with the support of Wang Hao'er, he was about to kneel on the ground to worship, Ding Peng hurriedly said: "No need, you are still weak, these false courtesies are skipped." Wang Lu, you made a big mistake today, do you know why you were poisoned and fainted?"

"Poisoning?" Wang Lu said confusedly: "Please make it clear to Master!" The disciple was cultivating the Seven Yin Fingers just now, all the processes were proper, and the venom was also decomposed by the Poison Refining Ding, and the disciple had already absorbed it into the body, and was about to refine it, when he suddenly felt that his body was like piercing ten thousand steel needles, and he was in pain, and then his eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything. ”

Ding Peng picked out the dead Seven Cultivation Snake from the back basket on the ground, pointed to the wound that was cut by the blade and said: " The teacher has repeatedly emphasized to you that when taking the poison glands, you must even take out the snake gall bladder, and then put it into the poison refining tripod to assimilate, your big mistake today is that you are wrong here, you cultivate the seven yin fingers, and the earth group is different from the marrow palm, you are directly absorbing the poison of the seven cultivation snakes, the toxicity is very violent, there is no snake gall bladder neutralization and suppression, once inhaled, without waiting for your luck and refining, the poison will attack rapidly, your luck is good, if you come one step late for the teacher, the gods will not be able to save you!"

Wang Lu was suddenly stunned, a layer of fine sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, and he said in fear: "The disciple has always been careless, at that time, he probably thought that the snake gall was useless, and it was a little cumbersome to stuff it into the ding, so he forgot the master's advice, and the disciple was ashamed!"

Ding Peng patted Wang Lu on the shoulder and said to everyone: "The way of practice is extremely dangerous, you must not be careless because of the small details, every word that this seat has said for you in the martial arts hall is useful, I hope you will understand it well, and do not happen today's things again." ”

Everyone hurriedly bowed down, Wang Lu struggled to get out of bed, knelt down and kowtowed to Ding Peng a few times, and said loudly: "The grace of the teacher's life, Wang Lu will never forget." ”

......

When Ding Peng returned to his house, Wang Haoer followed and asked to see him outside the house.

Ding Peng let him in, and as soon as Wang Hao'er entered the house, he knelt down and said loudly: "Disciple thank Master for saving my brother, disciple has nothing to give to Master now, I can only kowtow to you." ”

After saying that, there were a few knocks, and when I raised my head, my forehead was already bruised.

"Get up. Ding Peng raised his hand slightly and said lightly.

Wang Hao'er stood up, his expression was respectful, and his demeanor was restrained, but he was originally full of flesh, and he had a big scar on his face, and he looked really vicious, even if he looked honest now, it was really inconsistent, very funny.

Ding Peng put down the poison scripture in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't you say it, the teacher doesn't know that you and Wang Lu are brothers, haha, what's the matter, are there still your relatives and brothers under this seat?"

Wang Hao'er was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Back to the master, the disciple has only one brother in this sect, Wang Lu, and has no other relatives and no other brothers. Since the day the disciple worships the stars, he is no longer a horse bandit of the yellow whirlwind, but a disciple of the stars under the throne of the teacher, and the disciple only has the master and the star sect in his heart, and has no other thoughts. ”

Ding Peng stood up, walked up to Wang Hao'er, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Very good, the teacher can see that this is your heartfelt words." Of course, you are a smart person, and you can naturally see that it is better to continue to return to the yellow whirlwind as a bandit, or to stay in the stars and practice martial arts hard and become famous in the rivers and lakes, smart people know how to choose, only those brainless fools are still thinking about leaving the Thousand Lakes Basin, and you think that you will not be stupid with those fools, right?"

Wang Hao'er sweated on his forehead, and hurriedly knelt down and said loudly: "The teacher is above, and the disciple has made a poisonous oath when he was apprenticing to the teacher, and he is a member of the Xingzhu Gate in this life, and he will never dare to have two hearts again." I beg Master to be clear. ”

"Okay!" Ding Peng pulled him up and said with a smile: "Give you a task for the division and find an opportunity to kill Jing Qianjun." ”

"Ah!" Wang Hao'er's face shook, and the cold air in his heart was filled, Ding Xuan was too ruthless, let me kill Qianjing Qianjun, what did those brothers in the past think of me?

"Why?, can't do it?" Ding Peng stared at Wang Hao'er, although he was still smiling, there seemed to be a cold glint in his eyes.

Wang Hao'er hurriedly said, "Master, don't worry, I'm ...... The disciple must have killed him and brought his head to the master. ”

Ding Peng regained his smile: "Don't be in a hurry, slowly look for opportunities, I hope you don't let me down." ”

......

When Wang Hao'er came out of it, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat, but that intense fear had passed, and he was thinking more about how to kill Jing Qianjun.

At this moment, Jing Qianjun appeared in front of him, Wang Hao'er was so frightened that he almost jumped up, fortunately, he had countless lives on his hands, and he was also a brave man who came from the sword mountain and the sea of fire, he tried his best to suppress his fear, and said with an indifferent expression: "Why are you here?"

Jing Qianjun said disdainfully: "You are allowed to be a dog's leg, and you will not be allowed to let Lao Tzu come to pat the horse? ”

Wang Hao'er snorted without smiling, and turned to leave, he would not be as knowledgeable as Jing Qianjun, and what was there to argue with a dying person. Wang Hao'er had already decided that Jing Qianjun would die, since Ding Xuan wanted his life, how could he still live?

However, what Wang Haoer never dreamed of was that in the same room, the person who told him to kill someone just now happened to say to another person: Give you a task and find a chance to kill Wang Haoer!

Jing Qianjun was also shocked, but he immediately reacted that this was a good thing, what did Ding Xuan's ability to hand over such a secret task to himself? It showed that he trusted himself, at least more than Wang Hao'er.

Then, this is a good sign, as long as you can get Ding Xuan's trust, then when you steal the martial arts of the Star Sect, you will find a way to go out to do errands, and when you get in touch, you will find a way to get rid of the poison in your body, and then you can let yourself fly high in the sea and sky.

Thinking happily, Jing Qianjun showed a smug smile and said loudly: "Master, don't worry, that bastard old ...... The disciple has long seen that he is not pleasing to the eye, as long as the master gives an order, the disciple will definitely find a way to kill him, but Wang Hao'er's martial arts are not weak, and there are several brothers around him who have been following, and the disciple is afraid that he will not find a suitable opportunity for a while, so he asks the master to try to be as lenient as possible. ”

In fact, Jing Qianjun naturally won't really kill Wang Hao'er, this is a thankless task, killing Wang Hao'er will inevitably offend other horse bandit brothers, and killing him has no practical benefit, if you want to talk about hatred, there are many people in this basin Jing Qianjun wants to kill, at least Ding Xuan and Old Man Zhao and others are definitely ahead of Wang Hao'er.

Therefore, Jing Qianjun decided to come up with a delaying strategy, first learn his martial arts of the stars, and then act at the opportunity, as long as he finds a suitable opportunity, he must leave this ghost place, and let him Ding Xuan cry when the time comes.

Fantasizing about playing with Ding Xuan between the palms of his hands, Jing Qianjun almost laughed again, and hurriedly nodded in a respectful manner.

Ding Peng didn't seem to notice the strangeness of his expression, and said with a gentle smile: "Qianjun, for the teacher to believe in you, you just have to let it go, if there is no suitable opportunity for the time being, just wait patiently, and you must do things beautifully." Okay, you go back to practice, the disciples who are the most optimistic about the teacher, among them are you, don't let me down. ”

Jing Qianjun felt that Ding Peng valued himself very much, and he was proud in his heart, and wanted to say a few sycophants, but he always only knew how to scold people, where did he know what skills to pat on the back, he only said for a long time, and only said: "Master, your old man is the most powerful, a hundred times more powerful than the disciple's former eldest brother, the disciple will follow you in the future, and the master will do whatever he tells him to do, just like that ......"

Speaking of this, Jing Qianjun felt that something was not right, and if he wanted to continue, he had to say that he was as loyal as that dog, which made his self-esteem unbearable, so he had to change his tone and say: "It's like a general must listen to military orders when he fights, don't care if this military order is unreasonable or not, he must not disobey." ”

Ding Peng frowned secretly, so not everyone can pat the fart, you know that it is a fart or feel comfortable, and you can't shoot Why is it so awkward, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, for the teacher to know your loyalty, you go down first." ”

After sending away the Jing Qianjun, Ding Peng had just drunk a cup of tea, and someone came over to say goodbye.

When the person outside the door walked in, Ding Peng was a little surprised, the person who came turned out to be Shi Jian, who usually doesn't say much.

As soon as Shi Jian entered the door, he also bowed to Ding Peng first, Ding Peng asked him to get up, Shi Jian still knelt, and said respectfully: "Master, the disciple has something to ask for." ”

"You can talk about anything. "I don't know why, Ding Peng doesn't like to be alone with Shi Jian, and always feels very awkward and embarrassed.

Shi Jian didn't get up, and said, "The disciple wants to ask the master to allow Xiu Gu to come over and serve the master." ”

Maybe he doesn't like to talk much, this sentence Shi Jian said was a bit awkward, but Ding Peng completely understood, and because he understood the meaning, he was confused.

What does this Shi Jian mean, didn't he hear those rumors outside?

Impossible, no matter how mute Shi Jian is, he is not deaf, since even Xiugu heard it, how could he not know, so since he knew, why did he let his wife serve him with such a reputation?

Could it be that Shi Jian has a special fetish?

Ding Peng looked at Shi Jian's gaze weirdly, he had seen some voyeur series in his previous life, what girlfriend cheating series, what wife has a heart like a knife, but he couldn't imagine that he could meet such a psychologically distorted person when he returned to ancient times, could it be that Shi Jian is like this?

Or maybe Shi Jian just wanted to please himself, and he didn't hesitate to let his wife come over and sacrifice his hue?

Ding Peng was silent for a moment, unable to guess Shi Jian's intentions, and decided to open the skylight to say something bright, and said straight to the point: "Shi Jian, this seat knows your loyalty, but it is still not necessary to let Xiu Gu come over, for the teacher to let her come these days, I wanted to personally instruct her in martial arts, but this kindness will inevitably be misinterpreted, for the sake of her reputation, this seat has promised her that she does not have to come again, and your request does not need to be mentioned again." ”

"The disciple still asks the master's permission!" Shi Jian insisted.

It's really unreasonable, and there is a trace of annoyance in Ding Peng's heart, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't say it again, go back and discuss with Xiugu, women are not your thing, you can fiddle with it as much as you want, if she agrees, then let her come over, if she doesn't want to, you can't force it! If this seat knows that you forced her, come and get the punishment yourself!"

Shi Jian didn't say anything more, kowtowed a few times, and got up to leave.

This man is too deep! Ding Peng couldn't guess what Shi Jian was thinking in his heart, even if he was even a fierce man like Wang Hao'er and Jing Qianjun, he had a firm and steady control, but for Shi Jian, he really couldn't analyze his psychology.

Looking for a chance to kill him?

Ding Peng thought about it and shook his head, Shi Jian couldn't move for the time being, he was different from Wang Hao'er Jing Qianjun's situation, he was alone, except for a Xiu Gu, he didn't rely on it, Ding Peng didn't worry about him giving birth to chaos, and besides, he killed him just because he was suspicious, so if there are more people who doubt it in the future, will they all be killed, then everyone in the Star Sect is in danger, how can they develop and grow.

Even if it is Wang Haoer and Jing Qianjun, he doesn't really want to get rid of them all, he lets the two hate and kill each other, there are three purposes, one is out of temptation, to see who is loyal to him, the other is out of appeasement, it is really appeasement, sometimes handing over important things to a person, it can also make him feel valued and trusted, even if it is to let him kill; , after thinking too much, it is impossible for two people to come together again, which indirectly plays a role in sowing discord.

There may be three consequences of this incident: Wang Hao'er killed Jing Qianjun, Jing Qianjun killed Wang Hao'er, and neither of the two killed anyone.

Different results can get different inferences, Wang Hao'er killed Jing Qianjun to indicate that Wang Hao'er was more loyal, Jing Qianjun killed Wang Hao'er to mean that Jing Qianjun was more loyal, this loyalty may be superficial, maybe it can't prove true loyalty, but the one who doesn't do it for a long time is definitely not loyal.

Neither of the two killed anyone, there are two possibilities, one is that they didn't find a chance, and the other is that they are not loyal, either way, Ding Peng is not ready to treat them well, because the first is stupid, the second is disloyal, and it is just right to send them out to be cannon fodder.

Of course, it is likely that there will be a worse outcome, that is, the unfaithful will kill the loyal, but this probability is too small, and the dead will consider themselves unlucky, who made him so stupid.

While Ding Peng was pondering, someone shouted respectfully outside: "Master, disciple asks to see." ”

"Come in!"

Hu Yanping walked in, knelt down and saluted, and stood up with a calm expression.

Ding Peng has always admired this disciple's calm wit, and said with a smile: "Yanping, what are you doing here?"

"Master, the disciple has some doubts about martial arts, and wants to ask the master for guidance, but I don't know if it will disturb the master's rest?"

Ding Peng's temper is not very good to be honest, sometimes the disciple comes to ask for advice, it depends on his mood, but he has a slight impression of Hu Yanping, nodded and said: "Say, what are your doubts, I will explain them to you one by one." ”

Hu Yanping was not polite, and immediately said it, Ding Peng patiently explained to him, but soon, Ding Peng found that Hu Yanping's purpose was not as simple as coming to ask for advice.

This kid is here to pat Master's ass!

Hu Yanping's sycophants are very skillful, the questions he asks show his thinking about cultivation and reflect his own level, and secondly, whenever Ding Peng solves his doubts, Hu Yanping is a happy look like he suddenly realizes the sounds of heaven, which simply gives Ding Peng an illusion: listening to your words is better than reading for ten years.

Before waking up to the realization that this is a more intelligent sycophant, Ding Peng was already a little fluttering, good as a teacher, in fact, everyone has such a mentality, but some people have goods in their stomachs, confident and calm, and some people are not at a high level, so they dare not fiddle at will. In fact, if you really have a level, you can hear the listener resonate and agree with what you say, and even like Hu Yanping is showing now, not only the tone is sincere, but also the appearance is pretending to be intoxicated and admired, people who don't know still think that they have listened to some classic macro theory, and that kind of comfort is much stronger than listening to a few sycophants

Although Teacher Ding knew that Hu Yanping's purpose was not pure, he was still getting more and more intoxicated, but the master and apprentice kept talking late at night, and poor Blue Lotus could only blink her eyes and wait for them to end, because Ding Peng didn't sleep, she didn't dare to sleep first.
