181 Face to face
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Jun and the three of them were stunned together, and they glanced at each other, with some surprise on their faces.
Zhang Qinglu glanced at the subtle differences in the expressions of the three people, and found that Cheng Jun and Yingyue were somewhat confused, no more confused than Tang Shichu, and said with a smile: "This is the inner hall, the safest place, then I won't hide it." Today's gathering is really unexpected, and I didn't arrange it on purpose, but the three of you are indeed my people. β
Cheng Jun looked at Tang Shichu, and happened to meet Tang Shichu's gaze, and the two looked at each other, less of the smell of gunpowder, and more of a little stunned and clear.
Zhang Qinglu saw the two of them like this, and said, "I see that you guys fought just now?" But I hope this is the last time. It's okay to learn from each other, it's not good to hurt the harmony. Speaking of this, he also had some doubts in his heart, Tang Shichu's cultivation steadily suppressed Cheng Jun, how could he look at it from the complexion, or Tang Shichu seemed to have suffered a loss? But his face did not show at all, "Come on, let's get to know each other." At the beginning of Tang Shichu, my little brother, he joined the Xiling Sword Sect twenty years ago, and it was for my personal purpose that I wronged him for sacrificing twenty years. β
Tang Shichu's face turned slightly red, the arrogance just now faded, and he said a little shyly: "For the sake of a real person, what grievances do you have to say? Besides, the Xiling Sword Sect does have a lot of things worth learning." β
Zhang Qinglu said: "Although the Xiling Sword Sect is good, it is not a homeland, and it is still wronged by you. He turned his head and smiled, and said, "I see that Xiao Yue and Xiao Cheng have guessed some causes and consequences, haven't they?"
Tang Shichu pursed his lips slightly, Ying Yue suddenly smiled, his smile was sweet, and the feeling of not smiling when he was facing each other just now, and said: "What did you guess? I just think Tang Daoyou is a little weird, Cheng Daoyou didn't see it at all." That's not any flaw in Tang Daoyou, it's just that I've heard Tang Shichu's name a long time ago and know that he is a character. Seeing that he suddenly committed a manic problem, I was afraid that there was fraud in it. β
Cheng Jun smiled and said, "I don't see any difference between Ying Daoyou. Tang Daoyou doesn't have any obvious flaws. It's just that after Tang Daoyou entered my sea of knowledge, although he broke through the first layer of defense, he didn't continue to destroy, but wandered around, as if he wanted to explore something. I always thought it was a little strange, maybe he didn't mean it. β
At that time, he found out about Tang Shichu's actions, and he also felt strange, because he felt that this person had another purpose in him, but he was not sure which side he was. But it was more or less cautious. Later, he gave up the pursuit, and there was also this reason.
Tang Shichu patted his head depressedly, and said, "Are you all picking me up as a fool to watch?" Sure enough, after staying in this bastard sect of the Xiling Sword Sect for a long time, my brain is rusty. β
Ying Yue said with a smile: "Sure enough, Tang Daoyou is also suffering from the atmosphere? The black miasma over there is a miasma on the side of the Douxing Sea, right and wrong are going to die, and they like to sow discord the most. I've been there for a long time, and if I provoke you, I'll open my mouth and come to it, and that's called a disgusting person. Fellow Daoist, do you see that?"
Cheng Jun hurriedly said: "Will it be affected?
Ying Yue smiled and said: "Jiuyan Mountain, Daoyou, you are careful, all the people who come out there are a group of extreme madmen." β
Cheng Jun and Ying Yue's two sentences are aimed at easing the atmosphere. After the two of them interrupted, Tang Shichu really smiled and said, "You come to the Xiling Sword Sect to try? The people here are all arrogant and arrogant fools, one is more crazy than the other." If you want to get in, you'll have to be stupider and crazier than them to be useful. Only then did some people follow. Qi Hai's kind is the average level. After so many years of mixing, I have reached the point where the first thought of encountering a conflict is to draw my sword and slash upward. β
Cheng Jun sighed, thinking carefully about the causes and consequences, even if he couldn't think clearly, he said, "Is it difficult...... Could it be that the straw bag Qi Hai pushed it out on purpose?"
Tang Shichu looked surprised, and said, "You also know this?" said slowly, "I have been operating in the Xiling Sword Sect for a long time, but I went out a few days ago. The Xiling Sword Sect took the opportunity of holding the sword this time to seek the identity of the Nine Wild Goose Mountain Sword Pavilion, which I only learned about before. At that time, I thought that the real person might not want to see this outcome, but without communicating with him, I couldn't make my own decisions. Therefore, it was expedient to push Qi Hai to the position of the envoy this time. β
Ying Yue grinned and said, "That Qi Hai must be the stupidest of all the candidates, isn't he?"
Tang Shichu said: "Yes." He is the nephew of the head of the Xiling Sword Sect, and he is the most arrogant and stupid. I pushed him up, firstly, his eyes may not be big when he enters Jiuyan Mountain, and secondly, even if he enters, it will not be of great use, and it must be okay with the big plan. Unexpectedly, his stupidity was even more unexpected, and he was directly returned. Most of the other candidates are not the head of the house, and the head is unhappy. I did a little bit of tricking around and took his place. β
Cheng Jun said with a smile: "I see, Daoist friends must have seen me suddenly appear, and they were afraid that I would interfere with the palace master's plan, so they decided to stop it." β
Tang Shichu said helplessly: "It's not to stop it, I want to test which side of the person you are." β
Cheng Jun said in his heart: No wonder after he entered my sea of knowledge, he had the intention of exploring, it turned out that he wanted to find clues from my sea of knowledge.
Zhang Qinglu said with a smile: "Cheng Jun has always been cautious, but I'm afraid that it won't be so easy to test out." But I can pack the ticket, he's my man. β
As he spoke, he got up and patted Tang Shichu and said, "Xiao Tang, this time I sent the letter late." Hence the above leads to your misunderstanding. Cheng Jun is someone I can trust, and I asked him to help me suppress Jiuyan Mountain, which is the best choice in the current situation. The bureau of Jiuyan Mountain is important, and the bureau of the Xiling Sword Sect is also important, you are difficult to take care of, if you enter Jiuyan Mountain, of course, there is nothing wrong here, then where did the Xiling Sword Sect tell me to find a suitable candidate? Twenty years of hard work is also a pity. So I hope that the two of you can work together sincerely, and not hurt the harmony for the trivial things - or misunderstandings. β
Tang Shichu lowered his head, got up and took a cup of tea, and said, "So, Cheng Daoyou, I apologize to you." β
Cheng Jun was happy and said: "What is wrong with Tang Daoyou? At most, the situation is different. If we had any misunderstanding just now, and when I heard the analysis just now, I could only admire and devote myself to the relationship, then what kind of suspicion existed? If I really made a fuss about that little thing, it would be my sin. Daoist friends think I'm that kind of person?" said and took the tea and drank it all.
These words gave Tang Shichu enough face, Tang Shichu drank the tea in his hand, and said: "I also admire you, in the middle stage of foundation building, the divine sense, which is the most unattainable, has such means, and presumably the magic cultivation is also outstanding." With you in Jiuyan Mountain, what am I worried about?"
Zhang Qinglu said with a smile: "Cheng Jun is younger, you should take more care of him at the beginning of the world." He turned his head to Ying Yue and said, "This Ying girl is even bigger, and it is appropriate for me to be a teacher." It was a coincidence that she entered the door of the Douxing Sea, I didn't expect her to enter there, and I didn't expect her to come this time, because she came, and it was a coincidence here. The three envoys of the three holy lands of Shengtian are all from my Zixiao Palace, if Zixiao Palace is not very prosperous, it is intolerable by heaven. β
Ying Yue said firmly: "Zixiao Palace is booming, it will be in front of you." Tang Shichu said: "It can only be in the hands of real people." β
Cheng Jun saw a subtle difference in these two sentences, Ying Yue's position seemed to be biased towards Zixiao Palace, while Tang Shichu cared more about Zhang Qinglu himself.
Zhang Qinglu said with a smile: "Today, it is rare for the three of you to get together, I originally only let you see each other, but after the ceremony, you will be separated, since this time is just right, it is better for me to say a few more words here." Pointing to the futon on the ground, he said, "You three sit down and stay close to me." β
A few people stepped forward, and Zhang Qinglu said with a smile: "The three holy lands of Shengtian are the three pillars that support the cultivation of immortals in the northern country, as long as these three places are not out of control, then I Shengtian will not be able to mess up." Therefore, the responsibility of the three of you can be described as great, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first thing outside my Zixiao Palace. I'll talk to you these days, but I'll talk to you here, and you can listen to them together, and you'll have a number. β
Cheng Jun knew that Zhang Yanxu was finally going to start the layout, and the calm words of the cultivation world had begun to count down.
Zhang Qinglu drew three lines in the void with his hand, and said: "People say that the three-legged tripod stands, if one of the three legs is unstable, the tripod can't stand." So the first thing I say is safety. In any case, as a pillar, the safety of the three of you is the most important, and the others must be secondary. I tell you now, even if it is my own order, you can suspend it if you feel that there is a mortal threat to this matter. β
Putting personal safety in the first point shows Zhang Qinglu's means of winning people's hearts, of course, Cheng Jun doesn't know if the other two people will be moved to death, Cheng Jun is absolutely in favor, and he won't pay attention to any orders when there is danger - even if there is no danger, the orders above will depend on whether they meet Cheng Jun's appetite, if he is not happy, it is still equivalent to nonsense.
Zhang Qinglu said: "The second thing, I think you should establish a contact method that only the three of you know, and I don't need to know this way, but you have a number in your heart, maybe you can use it in the future." β
Ying Yue said: "Yes, if the two of you trust, I can do this." "Douxing Yihai has unique advantages in astrology, magic array, and information thaumaturgy, although these are also what Cheng Jun is best at, but he doesn't need to make a special move.
Zhang Qinglu said: "There is one more thing - I hope the three of you will be harmonious, because you are all from Zixiao Palace." However, what good will it do to others if the three families of Jiuyan Mountain, Douxing Moving Sea, and Xiling Sword Sect are in harmony? Especially since they have recently caused some contradictions, they must not be able to get better for a while. I think that even if we maintain harmony on the surface in the future, we will naturally not be harmonious in the future. β
The three of them are all extremely smart people, and they have already said so explicitly, what don't you understand? Cheng Jun said secretly: "This is the point. It's still early, and many layouts are not suitable for public talk, but there are some things that can be picked out. These three families are all big forces, and if they are in harmony, it will naturally be unfavorable to the Dao Palace. But even if he doesn't say it, the Liangzi of the Jiuyan Mountain and the Xiling Sword Sect has already grown up, and no matter how harmonious they are, they won't be able to get anywhere in harmony, as for the Douxing Moving Sea......
Cheng Jun just thought of this, only to hear someone say: "Qinglu, are these your three nails?"
This sentence is very straightforward, and it is not good, Cheng Jun turned his head, and saw that at the door of the inner hall, a figure suddenly appeared, coming from nowhere. Under the huge shadow, a man wearing a Ugin robe and a crown of Ugin Soaring slowly entered.
As soon as the man entered, a chill filled the air. Zhang Qinglu's place, not to mention the core of the Dao Palace, is also an extremely secret and safe place, and someone actually walked in with a loud voice, and he spoke very badly.
But Cheng Jun didn't care about that, he just stared at the man's robeβif he was not mistaken, this dress was exactly the same as the back of the Shangqing Palace envoy he saw on the way to Zixiao Palace.
Shangqing Palace Envoy...... The envoy of the Shangqing Palace looked like a middle-aged man with a stern face, with a purple Chinese face, quite a strong and domineering spirit, but there was no spiritual pressure on his body, even if it was only the foundation building period, he didn't feel uncomfortable by his side, only a noble spirit that had been in the top position for a long time, and he was not angry and arrogant.
When Zhang Qinglu saw him come in, he hurriedly got up and bowed down and said, "Qinglu has seen the envoy. β
Cheng Jun and the other three secretly froze, and immediately followed: "I've seen the envoy." β
The envoy nodded and said, "Qinglu is exempt from courtesy." Instead of sitting on the futon underground, he waved his hand lightly, and a cloud of light floated down in the air and fell to the ground. He sat on it as if he were on a dragon chair. Originally, all spells were forbidden in Zixiao Palace, but this time he lifted his weight lightly, and there was no hindrance, showing that his cultivation overwhelmed the entire Zixiao Palace.
The envoy said: "Since it is the person that Qinglu has a crush on, it must be of great use." I think you guys don't seem to be good, so come and introduce me to you. He said that he looked at them well, but his eyes didn't actually roll at all, and he never meant to glance at them. The three foundation building masters are not in his eyes after all.
Zhang Qinglu didn't mean to hide it, and said directly: "This is the person sent by Qinglu to the three sects. This is Tang Shichu, this is Ying Yue, and this is Cheng Jun. In a few words, he introduced the situation of the three of them, and the tone was understated, and a lot of information was passed by.
The envoy nodded, and his gaze finally swept over the faces of the three of them one by one, only for this moment, an extremely high cultivation was revealed, and anyone who was looked at by him seemed to have seen through his whole body. Cheng Jun knew that this was a phenomenon that the spirit had naturally revealed after passing through several realms, and it had nothing to do with investigation, and there was nothing wrong in his heart, but he was as sincere and fearful as the other two on his face.
After a long time, the envoy said, "Since you are sent from abroad, have you lit the natal soul lamp in the Dao Palace?"
