In the end, he still didn't make up his mind. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info81

Ding Peng didn't force him, let the situation unfold, and instead focused on the examination school for the disciples' martial arts cultivation.

Among the first batch of disciples, because of the development of the Loulan plan, Ding Peng sent several of them to be stationed in Mud City for a long time, including Hu Yanping, Chen Dingfang, Lao Zhao and Wang Haoer.

Because they are not in the sect, their martial arts cultivation process is not under Ding Peng's supervision, for this reason, every time Ding Peng comes to Loulan, he has to give them some training and assessment, the purpose is not to let them slack off, resulting in a delay in kung fu.

But in fact, because they were on a mission outside, it was impossible for them to practice wholeheartedly, and because they were entangled in affairs, the martial arts of these four people were more or less delayed, and their martial arts progress was much slower than that of their fellow disciples who stayed in the sect.

Take this assessment as an example, Hu Yanping, who has the best talent among the four, is only practicing the second stage of the poisonous skill-blue sand hand to the middle stage, and the second stage martial arts of Lao Zhao, who is the most diligent in practice, is the phantom yin finger, which is about to be practiced, and it can be regarded as the highest cultivation among the four, but this is far from being compared with the same sect that stays in the sect.

At the same time, Zhao Si, who was at the beginning, had already mastered the third stage of the Blue Devil Hand, and Ding Peng was considering what martial arts to teach him in the fourth stage.

Faced with this situation, Ding Peng could not reprimand, but tried to make up for their gap.

There is a reason for this, these four people were personally selected by him at the beginning, and they are considered outstanding figures in the same door, in order to spread the Loulan plan, they were transferred to the mud city to perform the task in advance, in general, their task was completed very well, but unfortunately because of distraction, the progress of martial arts was slow, they are all meritorious heroes, not only can not be reprimanded, but also make up for their losses, so as to truly achieve the promise of clear rewards and punishments in the rules of the star gate.

But how to make up for it, and what reward to give them?

This is a technical job, which must not only arouse their enthusiasm, but also not too much, otherwise the reward will be too rich, and there will always be no reward for the day.

After Ding Peng's comprehensive consideration, he exchanged four Shenmu Xiaoding from the system for them. Shenmu Xiaoding is a poison refining instrument imitated by Shenmu Wang Ding, although it is not as effective as Wang Ding, but it also has a very good function in trapping poisons and refining and purifying poisons, plus the contribution points are not much, it is really a must-have for poison disciples.

But why didn't Ding Peng exchange it for his disciples before? The reason is very simple, the first batch of Xingzhu Sect people he originally used as cannon fodder, not only for them to be effective, but also not to let their strength improve by leaps and bounds, and Shenmu Xiaoding, as a substitute for Wang Ding, if used skillfully, can indeed make a person who cultivates poisonous skills like a tiger, Ding Peng does not want to raise tigers for trouble, let the cannon fodder lose control.

So why is it possible now? This is this time and that time, now Ding Peng has practiced the four layers of the Five Poisons Divine Palm, and will soon step into the fifth layer, and truly become a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, with his current strength, he is naturally not afraid of a few disciples' strength has been greatly improved, but Ding Peng is ready to control the cultivation of some disciples who are not loyal enough when teaching the fourth stage of martial arts, as long as he always maintains a huge gap in strength between himself and his disciples, Ding Peng believes that everything is under control.

After the assessment, Ding Peng did not reproach at all, but listed the exploits of the four people one by one with deep feelings, rewarded them for all their hard work during this period of time, and then he personally gave everyone a Shenmu Xiaoding and pointed out the tricks of using it.

The four of them were extremely excited, and the mood that was originally apprehensive in the assessment turned into a surprise, and after learning about the miraculous effect of Shenmu Xiaoding, they were even more excited, and Lao Zhao, who was anxious, couldn't wait to try the power of the new tool.

After obtaining the Shenmu Ding, their previous Poison Refining Ding can be discarded. Although Lao Qin called himself a skillful Lu Ban, it was a pity that Ding Peng did not let him disassemble the Shenmu Ding, and he could not accurately study the internal structure, so there were many defects in the poison refining tripod made, and there were many impurities in the purified venom, which was a huge hidden danger to the human body in the long run.

In addition to Shenmu Ding, Ding Peng also rewarded each person according to the level of their merits, especially for Hu Yanping.

Hu Yanping is busy with the expansion of the mining area, resulting in most of the energy on the operation of the jade mine, although his talent is the highest among the four, but until now he has not made the blue sand hand into a master, Ding Peng can see that he is disappointed when he sees Lao Zhao's phantom yin finger, for this reason, Ding Peng in order to appease this most important disciple for him at present, in advance for him to exchange for the third stage of martial arts, and it is unique, no one in the Xingzhu Gate has been taught martial arts.

This set of martial arts is heart-shattering.

According to the annotations of the system, the Heart-Breaking Blood Palm is extremely powerful, it is an authentic evil martial arts, very vicious, and the death is extremely terrifying after being hit by the Heart-Breaking Blood Palm, the blood vessels of the whole body burst, and under the extreme pain, the deceased's fingers will grasp into his own body and die of self-harm.

So far, Ding Peng has exchanged three sets of third-stage martial arts for the disciples, namely the Blue Devil Hand, the Heart-Destroying Blood Palm and the Advanced Phantom Yin Finger, these three sets of martial arts have no strict sense of which is higher or lower, they are all very powerful intermediate martial arts, practiced to the highest level, and can even compete with first-class masters in the rivers and lakes.

But from this stage onwards, the gap in the strength of the Nakshatra disciples will also slowly widen the distance, such as the first and second stages of martial arts, as long as you are willing to practice diligently, it takes a lot of time, you can practice to the fullest;

That is to say, the third stage may become a life-and-death pass to test the people of the Xingzhumen, and if you pass through it and perform well, Ding Peng may focus on cultivating; if you can't break through and perform mediocrely, you can only become cannon fodder.

In addition to these four star disciples, there is another disciple Ding Peng who naturally has not forgotten, that is, Hu Weiming, a cheap disciple who was given to him by Diancang Shuangsha.

Hu Weiming is a fiery spirit vein, a pure yang body, and is systematically rated as a first-class talent, Ding Peng has accepted so many disciples, and there is no such genius, so he is naturally secretly happy with him, but he has a deep affection for the master and apprentice, although Ding Peng intends to cultivate, Hu Weiming is not too appreciative.

Because of this, last time Ding Peng stayed in Mud City for a long time, but he didn't teach him any advanced martial arts, Ding Peng taught apprentices, loyalty, no loyalty, no matter how good his talent was, he wouldn't teach it casually, after the pain of the Lingshan faction, Ding Peng definitely didn't want to taste the bitter fruit of his disciple's betrayal.

However, this time they met, Ding Peng felt that Hu Weiming's attitude had changed a lot, maybe it was because he had taught him to be a man during this time, and maybe it was because he had given him an empowerment last time, this kid finally understood the benefits, and the sentence "Master" was no longer reluctant, and he also knew to serve a cup of fragrant tea to this cheap master.

Ding Peng couldn't help but smile, and the two old men looked at it from the side, and they were also overjoyed, nodding again and again.

Ding Peng drank other people's tea, and he couldn't help but express it, groaned for a while, and said: "Wei Ming, the last time the teacher passed on your rotten bone palm, it was the foundation of learning, how did you practice? If you succeed, the teacher will pass on a set of star mastery this time, which is enough for you to use against the enemy." ”

I didn't think that Hu Weiming's face flushed, and he said embarrassedly: "Master, master, what you taught...... That rotten bone palm is so disgusting, the disciple didn't ...... Didn't practice much......"

The rotten bone palm should be practiced with rotten poisonous insects, and after practice, there is a bloody breath in the palm wind, and the middle person wants to vomit, but when he does not practice, he is no different from a normal person, and there are many disciples of the Xingzhu Sect who cultivate the rotten bone palm, including some underage children, no one has ever dared to say that he can't bear it in front of Ding Peng, and no one has ever stopped practicing because of disgust.

Ding Peng didn't expect Hu Weiming to say this, so he paused for a moment and frowned: "I remember that the teacher told you last time that you should be diligent in practicing, but you said that you didn't practice much, what is the situation if you don't practice much, you can demonstrate it to the teacher!"

Hu Weiming's face turned even redder, and he was silent for a long time, lowering his head and not moving.

Bu Tiandiao in the Diancang Shuangsha was a violent temper, and suddenly became anxious, jumped down from the chair, jumped to Hu Weiming's side in a few steps, slapped Hu Weiming's head, and said angrily: "Dumb or stupid, Master Ding is asking you, what are you pretending to be dumb, you can't talk and practice martial arts, right? Your grandmother's bear, Lao Tzu asks you every day how you practice kung fu, and you reply to Lao Tzu that it's no problem......

Hu Weiming touched his head and said aggrievedly: "Master, don't beat me, you will beat stupid, I ...... I'm going to show ......."

Speaking, Hu Weiming slowly condensed his skills according to the method of performing the rotten bone palm, but unfortunately although he is a genius in the sky, but martial arts are different from others, there is no reason not to practice, and after half a day of gong, Hu Weiming blushed and had a thick neck, and finally had a little feeling, and then hurriedly palmed, but unfortunately not to mention the poisonous and bloody wind, even the palm wind did not come out.

"Hit the pillar on the left!" Ding Peng shouted.

Hu Weiming had no choice but to hit the wooden pillar again, with a solid palm, the pillar did not move at all, removed the palm, and the surface of the wood was no different, Ding Peng shook his head, Hu Weiming's palm was not even a silver wax gun head.

If he has a bit of fire, even if this palm can't hit the fishy wind, he can print a pitch-black palm print on the surface of the pillar, and when he is against someone, he can be regarded as having a fire, and it can also cause lethality after hitting someone.

But now, Hu Weiming's slap can't kill the dog.

Ding Peng didn't speak, but his expression revealed everything, Diancang Shuangsha was very angry, Bu Tiandiao jumped down and slapped his head and face at Hu Weiming a few times, although Hu Weiming was a hanger, but he respected the master very much, and he didn't dare to dodge, so he let the master beat himself into a pig's head.

Duan Qiushi said to stop him: "Senior brother, okay, let's teach me a lesson first, how can I practice if I hurt the child." ”

Waiting for Bu Tiandiao to stop angrily, he said sharply to Hu Weiming again: "If the jade is not cut, Uncle Shi has always thought that you are a smart child, and you should understand the principles of how to behave in the world, but today, although you are an adult, you are no different from an ignorant child, Weiming, you have disappointed us too much." ”

Hu Weiming was not very sad when he was beaten by his master before, but as soon as Duan Qiushi said it, he immediately shed tears in shame, immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the three masters a few times, and faced Ding Peng again, and said loudly: "Master, I'm sorry, the disciple was wrong, please punish him." ”

Ding Peng then spoke: "You didn't feel sorry for me, you just felt sorry for Duan and Bu, and sorry for yourself." Opportunities are given to those who are prepared, and some people do not know to cherish even if the opportunity comes. Give you five days, I'll come back in five days, and you can figure out how to do it. ”

After speaking, he got up and left, so anxious that Cang Shuangsha hurriedly followed, and carefully apologized.

The situation is stronger than people, and they have been mixed up all their lives, and they have already seen a lot of things clearly, and now they are attached to the prime minister, and Ding Peng's status in front of him is obviously much higher than them, and more importantly, last time Ding Peng only pointed out Hu Weiming a few days, they felt that Hu Weiming's internal strength had improved by leaps and bounds during this time, which simply made them ecstatic, and saw the glimmer of hope that they no longer dared to hope for.

In the face of such a situation, even if Shuangsha is not for himself, but only for this beloved disciple, he has to be careful with Ding Peng.

Ding Peng can be a man, he pretended to be just to pinch Hu Weiming, not to have any opinion on Shuangsha, Shuangsha made amends, he hurriedly grabbed the two, and even said that he didn't dare to dare, and finally the three of them turned into laughter, laughed and talked for a while, but left Hu Weiming and found a place to drink.

As for Hu Weiming, he could only cover his swollen face and stand in place in a daze, messy in the wind.

The emotions in his heart were extremely complicated, and for the first time, he felt that not everyone regarded himself as a treasure, although he had extraordinary roots and outstanding talents, but others did not have to beg to coax him to pass on his martial arts.

While Hu Weiming felt a huge loss, he also secretly made up his mind that he must cherish these five days, and he must not let this new master look down on him next time.

......

Yu Shi's hesitation finally gave him hope, and he saw the light again.

King Touman was cured.

This was an outcome that no one expected, during the period when Touman was seriously ill, even the most optimistic officials thought that their king should not live long, but Touman performed a miracle.

Yu Shi was ecstatic, as long as the king recovered, the eldest prince would not be able to take over the throne, and his own important minister was naturally indispensable.

It's just that what Yu Shi didn't expect was that although Touman was cured, he immediately gave him another blow to the head.

Touman began to inquire about some important government affairs, and quickly announced several new personnel appointments, to Yu Shi's horror, these appointments all pointed to his center of power, and the king seemed to have the intention of overthrowing him as prime minister.

Immediately afterward, Touman promoted several young generals, although no general candidates were appointed, but it was obvious that through his appointment, Touman was looking for a new general.

What's even worse is that these young generals, either they don't deal with Yu Shi personally, or the family they represent has conflicts with Yu Shi, in short, the king is obviously looking for people who are restrained by Yu Shi.

Yu Shi finally knew that he was afraid, he admired the Central Plains culture, was well versed in Sinology, and knew that too many powerful ministers in the history of the Central Plains Dynasty had the final tragic end, their power came from the king or the emperor, once they lost Long En, that is, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, without the emperor personally ordering, those former political enemies could let him die without a place to be buried.

At that time, there was no way out, so he could only turn to the Star Sect for help, pinning his last hope on that powerful Ding Immortal Master.

Ding Peng was not surprised by Yu Shi's arrival, a powerful minister like Yu Shi, in the face of the general trend of the replacement of the old and the new dynasty, his fate was incomprehensible, and he had no choice.

After seeing Ding Peng, Yu Shi talked about the recent changes in the situation, and finally, Yu Shi said with tears in his eyes: "If the immortal master can save my family, the minister should serve the immortal master as his reborn parents, and he will not hesitate to smear his liver and brain." ”

Ding Peng's gambling curse swore to Shi, just smiled, in the final analysis, it was still the binding of interests and powerful relationships, if the interests were consistent, Yu Shi would naturally not betray, if there was a conflict of interests one day, Ding Peng did not have the means to control him, and it was not easy to make Yu Shi obedient.

But this is a later story, and the focus now is naturally to help Yu Shi solve the current dilemma.

Ding Peng didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "This seat is still the same sentence, whoever wants to embarrass the prime minister, as long as he is allowed to die, it will naturally no longer be a problem." I wonder if the prime minister has the guts?"

Yu Shi was frightened again, and said with a pale face: "...... The Immortal Master is ...... It means that even the king ...... together."

Ding Peng smiled and said lightly: "The king is also a human being, anyone has to die, anyone will die, if the prime minister wants him to die, he naturally can't live." ”

Yu Shi was completely stunned, and after a long time, he came to his senses and muttered: "Great, the king treats me well, how can I?"

Ding Peng struck a blow in his heart: "Then the prime minister will wait to destroy the door, and there is no other way to forgive this seat." ”

Yu Shi was only in pain for a while, and immediately said: "If according to the will of the immortal master, even if you kill the king, I am afraid that there will be trouble, although the third prince is close to the minister, but he is the king, if this matter is known, I am afraid that I will not be able to tolerate the minister." ”

Ding Peng laughed: "Who said that he was made king?"

Yu Shi was stunned for a moment, and said carefully: "The meaning of the immortal master, do you want to set up other princes?"

Among the princes of Touman, the third prince was the closest to Yu Shi, and the other princes had a general relationship, so he couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Ding Peng's gourd, and how to solve the hidden danger of the prince learning that he had killed his father?

Ding Peng patted the back of the right hand of the chair and said with a smile: "This seat likes innocent and childish children the most, they are pure by nature, they have no dark hearts, and they will not calculate and hurt people behind their backs, what does the prime minister think of the little prince of Nile?"

"Ah......" opened his mouth widely, but he immediately understood what Ding Peng meant, and after thinking about it, this is really the best choice among the helpless choices, Nile is only seven years old this year, and children are the easiest to control, which is much more suitable than those adult princes who have their own opinions.

Yu Shi praised: "The immortal master is really wonderful!" Then his face darkened again, and he whispered: "It's just that the king's side is heavily guarded, and I don't know how the immortal master wants to ......."

Ding Peng glanced at Yu Shi with contempt, this traitor was still saying that the king was not thin on himself, and he was immediately worried about how to kill the respected king, and he was really a good player in politics, although Ding Peng was contemptuous in his heart, his face was silent, and he said slowly: "As long as the prime minister cooperates, the king's life will naturally be in the hands of this seat, please listen ......to the prime minister."
