Chapter XIX Planning
Xia Yuan listened to Ge Songnan's words, and recalled his experience in Ping'an Town, those few disciples of the Lichen Sect, dealing with themselves who had only cultivated to the fourth level on the surface, only dared to secretly rob and kill.
It seems that the Lichen Sect does pay attention to self-protection, and it is easy not to touch the upper echelons of society, and it is difficult for the county guard to find help at the upper level, after all, it is not a joke to deal with the three veteran Liding.
"Wouldn't the Xue family and the Wang family's Liding help Duanmu County guard? They are all native families of Jianchang County! Although the Lichen Sect does not move them, the commoners and merchants are the foundation of society! They have been bullied and exploited ruthlessly, and the whole society will be affected, don't they want to think about it?" Xia Yuan said with a look of righteous indignation.
Ge Songnan saw Xia Yuan's angry appearance, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but he made a helpless expression on his face, and sighed: "Hey, far less, the Xue family and the Wang family are both cultivators in the late stage of Liding, and with the power of the county guard, they should be able to suppress the Lichen Sect." But these two have a short lifespan, and they are very desperate, not to mention for the sake of civilians, even if their own children are oppressed, these two are estimated to not come out, and they can't be counted on. ”
Xia Yuan took off his indignant expression, his expression returned to relaxation, and he said with a smile: "I said Lao Ge, you said so many difficulties of the county guards, do you want to ask me for help? ”
Ge Songnan knew that his little abacus had been discovered, so he hurriedly got up and bowed and apologized, "Yuan Shao forgives his sins, it is really that the county guard is in a difficult situation now, and he is tempted by luck, hoping that Yuan Shao can help, so he is reckless." ”
Xia Yuan thought to himself, it seems that this time it was right to come to Ge Songnan, the county guard was eager to suppress the Lichen Sect, and now the planned cooperation has changed to mutual assistance, which is more conducive to controlling the situation.
"Lao Ge, if you want me to help, just say it, I'm not like the two of the Xue family's Wang family. Jianchang County is also my hometown, how can I bear to let my hometown be messed up? I helped me with this, tell me what your plan is?"
Ge Songnan was overjoyed when he heard Xia Yuan promise to help, "Far less, our strength was too far behind before, and we haven't prepared any plans yet." Let's see if you go to Duanmu County to meet and discuss together. ”
Xia Yuan frowned, and his voice became cold, "Lao Ge, I think you are very good here, very quiet, and a good place to discuss things." ”
Ge Songnan saw Xia Yuan's expression change, first he didn't know why, and then suddenly realized, "Far less forgiveness, you are willing to help, you are too happy in the next moment, and you are confused." It should be the Duanmu County Guard who has come to see you, and I will go and inform him that you will sit here for a while. ”
"Well, you go, remember to call another county guest and let's meet. ”
Ge Songnan agreed repeatedly, not daring to slack off, and immediately went to Duanmu Rong and Duanmu Zheng.
Duanmu Rong and Duanmu Zheng were surprised when they heard Xia Yuan agree to help, Ge Songnan briefly explained the situation, and hurriedly urged them to go to see Xia Yuan quickly.
Duanmu Rong and Duanmu Zheng glanced at each other, and they both hurriedly followed Ge Songnan to see Xia Yuan with suspicion.
This happened too suddenly, and Ge Songnan's evaluation of Xia Yun's strength was too outrageous, Duanmu Rong and Duanmu Zheng both had serious doubts in their hearts, this was against a three-standing sect of the Dusty Sect, and there must be no mistakes.
When he came to Ge Songnan's small courtyard, Xia Yuan sat in the main seat of the hall and did not get up to greet him.
Duanmu Rong didn't care, he only quenched eight layers of body, and he was used to seeing the style of Liding Zhenren, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "In the lower Duanmu Rong, I have seen far less." ”
Xia Yuan nodded and said, "Duanmu County Guard, sit down and discuss it together to see how to deal with the Lichen Sect." ”
Duanmu Zheng was quite unhappy when he saw Xia Yuan's style, as a master in the middle stage of Liding, he was respectfully entertained everywhere he went, even if he met the cultivators in the late stage of Liding and the peak of Liding, everyone generally treated each other as equals.
Duanmu Zheng saw Xia Yuan's appearance of no one in his eyes, he was angry, and wanted to explore Xia Yuan's roots, he released the momentum of the middle stage of Liding* to Xia Yuan, "This is Young Master Xia Yuan, he is really young and promising." ”
Xia Yuan didn't make a sound, just glanced at Duanmu Zheng casually.
Duanmu Rong and Ge Songnan didn't notice anything wrong, and they both sat down to discuss the matter of fighting against the Lichen Sect.
Duanmu Zheng, who provoked Xia Yuan, fell into the abyss! Xia Yuan's glance swept over, and Duanmu Zheng only felt that Xia Yuan's eyes were rapidly enlarged, and his whole person seemed to shrink, and he was sucked into Xia Yuan's eyes.
The process was very short, this experience was terrifying, Duanmu Zheng was frightened, and wanted to run away, and then he found that he could no longer control his body at all, and then the whole person entered a pitch-black space.
For cultivators, the feeling of losing control of the body was terrifying, and Duanmu Zheng, who was terrified to the extreme, struggled hard, but this struggle was in vain and had no effect at all.
Duanmu Zheng was suspended in the void, surrounded by dead silence and darkness, his whole body was unconscious, but his mind was extremely clear, which was really a cruel torment.
I don't know how many years have been spent in this dark silence, but a glimmer of light finally appeared in front of Duanmu Zheng's eyes, and then it became brighter and brighter, and his sluggish thoughts began to slowly normalize, recalling himself.
When he looked around, he found that he had returned to Ge Songnan's courtyard, Duanmu Rong and Ge Songnan had just sat down, and his long torment in that terrible dark cage was like a dream for a moment.
"Third Uncle Ancestor, what's wrong with you?" Duanmu Rong sensed that something was wrong and asked.
Duanmu Zheng's face was terrifyingly pale at this time, his face was drenched in cold sweat, his eyes were dim and dazed, anyone who looked at it would find that something was wrong, not to mention that as a master in the middle stage of Liding, this situation was even more abnormal.
"Well, sit down and rest. Xia Yuan said lightly.
When Duanmu Zheng heard Xia Yuan's words, his eyes swept to Xia Yuan's figure and he was startled, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Xia Yuan more. He came back to his senses at this time and knew that Xia Yuan was dissatisfied with his rude provocation, so he taught him a lesson.
Bowing to Xia Yuanshen, Duanmu Zheng, who was pale, didn't dare to say more, and walked to Duanmu Rong in silence and sat down. Xia Yuan hit him too hard, just as Ge Songnan once said, these masters were as fragile as babies in front of Xia Yuan.
Having experienced that dark and lonely space, Duanmu Zheng knew that no matter how long the time was, under that terrible torture, his body and mind would definitely collapse. Xia Yuan just glanced at him! With one glance, he could control the life and death of the Liding!
This method is so terrifying, so unguardable, Duanmu Zheng has never heard of a similar spell, and when he thinks of that dark space in his heart, he still can't stop throbbing and panicking.
Duanmu Rong and Ge Songnan also saw that Xia Yuan and Duanmu Zheng must have secretly competed, and it seemed that Duanmu Zheng was defeated.
The doubts in Duanmu Rong's heart were swept away, and in the face of Xia Yuan, whose strength was still above Duanmu Zheng, he said solemnly: "I have far less help, Duanmu Rong is grateful." This time to suppress the Dust Sect, our county guard is far away. ”
Xia Yuan was very satisfied with the current result, although he was peaceful, he would also pretend to be when necessary. Duanmu Zheng's provocation fell into Xia Yuan's calculations, and he took advantage of this to mercilessly counterattack and deterrence, defeating the most powerful person in the county guard's mansion, and after some calculations, he simply and cleanly achieved a dominant position.
"Duanmu County Guard, if you have any suggestions, you might as well talk about it. Xia Yuan asked in a slow tone.
Duanmu Rong pondered for a while, "How do you think this is the case?" The county guard came forward and invited all the power families in the county to admire the moon on the fifteenth day of August, including the Lichen Sect. At that time, he was forced to leave the Sect Master of the Dust Sect in public, and let him promise in public to restrain the arrogant behavior of his disciples in the county. ”
"In this way, first, you can suppress the prestige of the Lichen Sect in public; second, in the future, the county guard will clean up the disciples of the Lichen Sect who continue to do evil, and you can be regarded as a famous teacher; and third, it will be convenient to incite other forces and families to stand up against the Lichen Sect together. ”
Speaking of this, Duanmu Rong paused, "The key to the success of the matter is that in terms of strength, the Lichen Sect must be completely suppressed in order to have a satisfactory effect. ”
Xia Yuan listened to what Duanmu Rong said, and saw that his pattern was too small, and he only thought that it was enough to suppress the Lichen Sect, and his heart said that this person's courage was limited. Xia Yuan was not ready to break his plan, so as not to cause trouble, he said gently: "Duanmu County Shou rest assured, the people from the Dust Sect have not been taken into my eyes yet, you don't need to worry about this." ”
Duanmu Rong heard Xia Yuan's affirmation, his heart was relieved, and he looked at Duanmu Zheng with an inquiring look, and saw Duanmu Zheng bowing slightly, and finally settled down.
"Duanmu County Shou, during this time, you have to actively build momentum and let everyone know that at the Moon Viewing Conference on the 15th of August, the County Shou Mansion will compete with the Lichen Sect. The more public opinion pays attention, the more the Lichen Sect cannot retreat for the sake of the hegemony in the county, and it is best to force the three Liding of the Lichen Sect to be present. ”
"Far less assured, I will definitely do my best to prepare for the preliminary preparations. ”
After talking with Duanmu Rong for a while, and roughly perfecting the plan, Xia Yuan got up and said: "The plan is basically the same, it's only May now, I will go back to the Grange to cultivate, if there is any change in the middle, you can ask Lao Ge to go to the Grange to inform me." ”
Seeing that Xia Yuan got up and was about to leave, Duanmu Rong, Duanmu Zheng and Ge Songnan also hurriedly stood up and sent each other off.
The group walked to the courtyard, and Xia Yuan sacrificed the flying sword to prepare for the sword to leave.
Before leaving, Xia Yuan said to Duanmu Zheng: "This, overcoming the fear in your heart and using it as a whetstone for refining your heart is of great benefit to your cultivation. ”
Although Xia Yuan deliberately neglected Duanmu Zheng and led him to provoke, he used this to fight back against Liwei. But no matter how you say it, he can be regarded as his own person, and Xia Yuan has no intention of hurting him.
This trick in Duanmu Zheng, in Xia Yuan's inheritance memory, is commonly used by many sects when refining the state of mind of disciples. Of course, this refers to those sects in places where cultivation is developed, and naturally no one in the backward cultivation world here understands this.
Duanmu Zheng listened thoughtfully, and Xia Yuan didn't delay any longer after speaking, and Edgeworth took off and rushed back to the Grange.
