Volume 5: The First Song Two Hundred and Ninety-Two: Rumors Flourish
A few days later, the sect's reward was distributed.
I have to say that this reward is much faster than the previous rewards in terms of time alone, Tang Ping has been rewarded twice by the sect, both because of the protection of the frost, and the two rewards were slowly given to Tang Ping after a few days, which made Tang Ping, who got the reward at that time, can't help but complain that the sect seems to be reluctant to reward the disciples who have made meritorious contributions; The second is that this reward is very generous, when he was in the council hall, that Elder Jiang promised Tang Ping in public, this time the reward will be three times that of the previous reward, and in the end, as this Elder Jiang said, Tang Ping got the first rewards, when he opened a storage bag to see, he couldn't help but nod his head again and again, the Secret Dao Sect finally made a generous move, she had been rewarded by the sect twice before because of Yanshuang, but every time she got it, she couldn't help but pout, He also complained about the petty family spirit of the sect in front of Tang Bonian, the disciples were fighting to death outside, but the sect was stingy and only gave so little things in the end, and this time Tang Ping was obviously satisfied.
However, satisfaction is satisfaction, how to send such a large number of bulging storage bags to the hands of those five spirit elites, Tang Ping also has the identity of the head of the qi refining disciples now, and she can't carry such a large number of storage bags with her and then find those five spirit elites to send them one by one, not to mention the time, it seems that this is not what the head of the qi refining disciples should do, so she naturally thought of a helper...... Ma Amber!
After experiencing some things, now Tang Ping's impression of Ma Hu has also changed a little, the relationship between Ma Hu and Qian Chao is quite good, I think she must be willing to do things for herself, so she took these many storage bags to Tian Zhi'an's predecessor's cave mansion and found Ma Hu.
Ma Hu was overjoyed when he saw the things in the storage bag, and asked Tang Ping with a smile:
"Hehe, Senior Sister Tang, are there so many of us?"
唐萍 says:
"Of course, this time, as long as you follow you, Senior Sister Luo, and go out with the two Senior Sister Fang, you will be rewarded, well, this time the council hall will also be rewarded completely according to the list I gave."
Meng Huaifu has been living in Tian Zhi'an's cave because he is about to apprentice to Tian Zhi'an, so Tian Zhi'an also built a small building for him outside his cave for him to live in, so when Tang Ping came to find Ma Hu, Meng Huaifu was also present, and this reward, Meng Huaifu also has a share, even if he was once a promising son in the great family, he couldn't help but be taken aback when he got his share, and looked up with some doubts and asked:
"Miss Tang, I'm not an elite disciple of the Five Spirits, how can I have a share?"
Tang Ping said:
"Brother Meng, why can't you have a share? If you do your best, you should naturally be rewarded, the five of us were rewarded by the sect twice because of Miss Yanshuang before, and no one said at that time that the five of us were elite disciples of the five spirits, these elite disciples of the five spirits are nothing more than a name, could it be that Senior Brother Ma was an elite disciple when he first entered the sect? ”
"Yes, yes, Senior Sister Tang is right," Ma Hu said again and again, "Senior Brother Meng, soon after you entered the sect, you fought hard against Ge Tan, captured this traitor who was willing to degenerate into an evil cultivator for the sect, made meritorious contributions to the sect, and was injured, why shouldn't you be rewarded by the sect, these elite disciples of the five spirits not only look at their origins and family backgrounds, but also pay more attention to whether they have the heart to serve the sect and the means to serve the sect, you have both, then you are an elite disciple, and if you have something to do in the future, you will be rewarded for meritorious service, isn't it normal?" ”
Meng Huaifu nodded when he heard this, he could only stay in the Five Spirits Sect in the future, and now Ge Ting was captured by him, and soon Ge Ting would be ambushed, he could be regarded as able to fulfill a wish, and being able to worship under Tian Zhi'an was a good start for him in the Five Spirits Sect, if he could have the identity of the elite of the Five Spirits, it would not be a good thing for him.
"Hehe, Senior Sister Tang, the five of you are really different from the previous Senior Brother Fan, then Senior Brother Fan, the means are not bad, but it's a bit of a good person, hehe, don't say anything else, just take the previous two things to protect Yanshuang, the so-called Five Spirit Elite is not even, some people don't dare to go because they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and some people don't take Senior Brother Fan in their eyes at all, well, guess what in the end? Those who didn't go actually got the same rewards from the sect as those who fought hard after they arrived, and for this reason, many people discussed it in private, thinking that it was not good. Well, also, Senior Sister Tang, let's deal with Wen Liang this time, those who didn't go are not all unconvinced by the five of you, alas, there are still some sect insiders among the so-called elite disciples, their eyes are above the top, they can't do big things, they don't want to do small things, they never put Senior Brother Fan's orders in their eyes in the past, and this is also a headache for Senior Brother Fan at that time. This time you fought for such a generous reward for us, I listened to what you mean, those who didn't go don't have it, Senior Sister Tang, although this is inspiring, but those people may find you trouble in the future, um, but don't worry, as long as those guys dare to mess around, you can only find me where you can use me, my old horse has no other skills, anyway, I have a general reputation in the sect, and I can also pull this face, and Guan Bao can scold some people. ”
Tang Ping nodded in thanks, and then said:
"According to my original thoughts, this reward distribution is to concentrate all the five spirit elites in the side hall again, and give this reward to everyone one by one in front of those who did not go, if possible, invite a few elders of the council hall to witness, but unfortunately, my sixth grandfather did not allow me to do this, saying that it hurt people too much, and those who did not go may never obey the dispatch again in the future under the shame......"
"Yes, Senior Tang said very much, well, this way, Senior Sister Tang, you leave these things with me, I'll go find a few people who went out together last time, and then I will work with them to send the rewards of these sects to those people one by one, we are neither high-profile nor low-key, not only to let those who have contributed to the sect rejoice when they get this reward, but also to let those who have not contributed to ponder the taste by themselves, to tell the truth, after Senior Brother Fan took over as the head of the Qi refining disciples, There have always been a few senior brothers who are not convinced, and they don't obey Senior Brother Fan's orders, and in the end, they even gave up the name of elite disciples, hehe, we can't ask for perfection, we can only try our best to bring together those who are willing to contribute to the sect, well, this time the elders of the council hall agreed to Senior Sister Tang's proposal, and I think they are also dissatisfied with those who did not contribute this time. ”
And this is also the purpose of Tang Ping's coming to Ma Hu this time, and she hurriedly thanked her when she heard it.
……
And long before the generous gifts of these sects were distributed one by one, all kinds of rumors about the elite disciples dealing with Wenliang under the leadership of Tang Ping and Qian Chao had already begun to spread.
The last time Qian Chao and the five of them went out of the sect to deal with Wen Liang, Ma Hu, Luo Ying, Fang Yang Fang Han, Cui Yin Gu Yuan and others led people to capture Wen Liang's eyes and ears one by one in the sect, because some people resisted so badly, it was impossible to keep it completely secret, and since then, some disciples in the sect have begun to speculate and discuss.
Later, Luo Ying and Lu Shuang escorted a lot of loose cultivators back to the sect, and more people saw them, so some people linked these two things together. In the end, Tang Ping and Qian Chao returned with everyone, there were many people, and those elite disciples of the Five Spirits were not all very strict-mouthed, so naturally the truth of this incident came out.
It's normal for rumors to start out.
At the beginning, it was said that the predecessors in the sect had carefully and meticulously investigated, and found that there were people who intended to be unfavorable to the sect, and these people had penetrated very deeply in the sect, and they were responsible for spying on all kinds of news, and at the same time, they were also plotting outside the sect to deal with the shocking conspiracy of the Five Spirits Sect. When the sect was almost done, they closed the net, first cleared the ears and eyes of those people in the sect, that is, what happened before someone was arrested in the sect, and at the same time, the five spirit elites were even more out together, and found those guys outside the sect, and after a hard battle, they finally wiped out those guys, but unfortunately, the two main guys escaped, so in the future, the sect will continue to spare no effort to arrest those two people.
However, people soon realized that this rumor was not quite right, if there were any forces secretly intending to be unfavorable to the entire Five Spirits Sect, why were it only those elite disciples of the Five Spirits who were sent to deal with those people? Even if they are elites, but after all, they are only Qi refining cultivators, you must know that the rumors say that those people are going to launch a shocking conspiracy against the entire sect, can they deal with it by only sending some Qi refining disciples? And whether it is the eyes and ears of those people caught in the sect or the scattered cultivators who were escorted back later, they are all qi refining cultivators, how much damage can such a guy do to the Five Spirits Sect?
Then the rumors began to become varied.
It is said that in order to subvert the Five Spirits Sect, the hostile big sect spared no expense, and sent a number of Jiedan monks to sneak in and take away the qi refining disciples in the sect and then lurked, and then looked for the heaven and earth cages left behind after the "Battle across the Sea" in the territory of the Five Spirits Sect, it is said that those heaven and earth cages were sealed and imprisoned by the ancient fierce beasts, and it was the ancestors of the Five Spirits Sect who paid a very heavy price to seal these fierce beasts, and the hostile sects believed that their strength alone was not enough to fight against the Five Spirits Sect, He was going to send people in to find those heaven and earth cages first, and then untie the formation that sealed those extremely fierce beasts, let the fierce beasts out of the cage to make trouble, and through the chaos of these fierce beasts, first weaken the Five Spirit Sect, and then take advantage of the weakness of the Five Spirit Sect to attack again.
There are also people who say that the origin of the matter is related to the killing of Senior Brother Xun of Jiuxuan a few years ago, it seems that Senior Brother Xun found something, and then he was killed, and then Ma Hu, who had received the great favor of Senior Brother Xun, has been tracking down the murderer of Senior Brother Xun, after years of hard work, Ma Hu finally found out that the killer of Senior Brother Xun was the remnants of an evil cultivator family who was exterminated by the sect in the earlier years. He originally planned to make trouble in the Five Spirits Sect, but after taking the house, he was seen by Senior Brother Xun, so Wen Liang designed to kill Senior Brother Xun outside, Ma Hu's years of investigation not only found out the real murderer who killed Senior Brother Xun, but also found out where Wen Liang was hiding outside the sect, but unfortunately the fake Wen Liang was clever, and the elite disciples of the Five Spirits who went to deal with him were not opponents, and finally let him be injured and escaped.
The rumor mentioned the name of Wen Liang, this Wen Liang is also a disciple of Jiu Xuan, so there are nine Xuan disciples who think about it carefully, and they don't seem to have any impression of that Wen Liang, and they all wake up immediately, there are not a few disciples who have disappeared in Jiu Xuan over the years, and the guy who took away Wen Liang has worked hard, and people who have been friends with Wen Liang or are familiar with him in the past may let his identity be revealed, so those talents are quietly disappearing one by one, so many people are glad that they don't know any Wen Liang.
But at the same time, some people recall the legend of a mysterious "Senior Brother Wen" that has been quietly circulating in the sect over the years, it is said that Senior Brother Wen specially selected some people with poor qualifications and low cultivation to be included in his command, and after his guidance and training, the cultivation of those people has improved rapidly, and the reason why this Senior Brother Wen is like this is to let those people do things for him, and that Senior Brother Wen must be that Wenliang.
Soon, there was a scene of five people in the rumors, and it was rumored that it was not Ma Hu who really found the clue of Wen Liang, but Qian Chao, and even said that the five people of Qian Chao had moved with Wen Liang several times outside the sect, and both sides had their own victories and defeats, this time it was Qian Chao that after the five people had the identity of the head of the Qi refining disciples, they were able to dispatch the elite Qi refining disciples in the sect, and then they arranged the troops to defeat Wen Liang in one fell swoop, and the rumors also said that the arrangement of the five people of Qian Chao for Wen Liang was amazing, What made many elite disciples of the five spirits ambush in a forest in advance, and the five people of Qian Chao were responsible for luring the enemy into the depths, and when Wen Liang led the army of scattered cultivators to pass above the forest, the elite disciples of Qi refining in the forest all started to sneak attack, killing countless scattered cultivators at once, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue, forcing Wen Liang and a group of scattered cultivators into the Shattered Star Lake, and gave Wen Liang a heavy blow by taking advantage of the giant snake that became the climate in the lake, and finally took down all the scattered cultivators around Wen Liang in Da Cangze, and when he had no choice, that Wen Liang began to desperately, A mud monster was summoned from the ground of Da Cangze, and then there was a big battle between the two sides, which was fought until the sky was dark, and the one named Lu Pingchuan of the Houtu Temple almost died in the hands of Wen Liang, and finally on the big meadow, Qian Chao and the five people each used amazing means, and finally defeated the mud monster of Wen Liang, but unfortunately Wen Liang escaped in the end.
There are many versions of such rumors, and the battle situation at that time is extremely thrilling and miraculous, especially later, I don't know who and where they know that the big meadow is also a cage between heaven and earth, and an ancient beast is banned below, so there are rumors that the five people of Qian Chao are also cultivators of refining qi, and the reason why they can use that incredible means is because the five of them have the means to "borrow" from the body of the ancient beast that was banned underground. Otherwise, it would not explain why the Qi Refining Disciple could send out such a powerful method, well, not to mention, as soon as this statement appeared, it made those who heard it believe it.
However, as the sect issued a reward for the elite disciples who participated in the fight against Wen Liang this time, the direction of the rumors changed again.
The disciples in the sect still know who the elite disciples are, most of them don't know how much credit these elite disciples have made this time, but they are keenly aware of which people have been rewarded by the sect, and which people have not, this is something that was not something before, in the past, as long as the sect has something, those elite disciples are dispatched, then there must be a reward for all members, as long as it is an elite disciple, there will be a share, but this time is different, first, this time the reward is said to be very rich, It was three times as much as the previous reward, and it was coveted; And the most important thing is secondly, that is, not all the elite disciples of the Five Spirits have received this reward, and more than half of the elite disciples have not received this reward!
After discovering this, some people at first said that it was Qian Chao and Tang Ping, the five new Qi Refining Disciples, who were suppressing people who usually didn't like them, but as the news increased little by little, the rumors changed direction again.
Here's what it looks like:
After Tang Ping and Qian Chao and the other five mid-level Qi Refining disciples were recommended by Senior Brother Fan Ji, the head of the previous Qi Refining Disciples, as the new head of the Qi Refining Disciples, some of the original elite Qi Refining disciples originally coveted this position, and they were dissatisfied because of the failure of their scheme, so they didn't listen to Tang Ping's orders at all in this matter, let alone serve them, this is one of them; The second is that there are still some people among those elite disciples of Qi refining who look down on these five people just because Tang Ping and Qian Chao are not senior, their cultivation is not deep, and their prestige is not enough, so they also ignore Tang Ping's orders, so they don't go out; Third, among the elite disciples, there must be some senior gentlemen with deep backgrounds in the sect, and they have always benefited from their efforts, so these people will not go out to serve.
In the past, Senior Brother Fan ordered these people, but only those who did not obey the order, and Senior Brother Fan at that time was helpless about this.
And this time, Tang Ping's five people ordered these elite disciples, because of the above three reasons, only less than half of the elite disciples obeyed the dispatch, it is said that the number of people is so small is the real reason why Wen Liang, the first offender, was able to escape this time, if all the elite disciples were present at the time, how could Wen Liang escape?
There is also that Tang Ping, she is a fiery temper, she can't rub sand in her eyes, she has long been angry when she sees this situation, I heard that Tang Ping once made a fuss in the council hall after returning to the sect, clamoring to resign as the head of the qi refining disciples, but it has always been only after the foundation is built that this mission can be resigned, so the elders of the council hall have no choice but to reward those elite disciples who have contributed generously according to Tang Ping's intentions, and those who have not acted according to orders and have not even gone will not be punished, of course, The generous reward has nothing to do with them.
Then there were rumors, saying that those so-called elite disciples who did not get the reward this time, originally they were not optimistic about the abilities of Tang Ping and Qian Chao, but this time they returned with a big victory, so some people regretted it very much, and felt that they should not be instigated to go against the current head of the Qi refining disciples, and some people were extremely angry, thinking that Tang Ping was openly humiliating them in the sect by doing this, of course, there were also people who didn't care at all, such as those gentlemen, but this time after all, there was a small amount of income, Therefore, they all looked at Tang Ping coldly.
From this, people come to the conclusion that there must be a lot of excitement to see in the sect in the future.
After saying this, let's talk about Tang Ping, after Ma Hu went to do things, she took her share of the five of her people and sent it over one by one, Yan Xuan was overjoyed to see so many spirit stones and pills, Li Jian smiled slightly, and Lu Pingchuan was the most excessive, and he couldn't wait to rub the pile of shiny spirit stones on his face a few times, but in Qian Chao's place, Tang Ping pounced, Qian Chao was not in his residence, and he didn't find Qian Chao in Chengqi Hall, and he said he didn't know if he inquired from others, with a doubt, In the end, Tang Ping returned to the master's cave.
In fact, when there were many rumors, after Qian Chao cultivated his spirit, he quietly left the sect and came to Ruixuan Town all the way, he had to come to Mr. Zhuang every month, and he didn't want to miss any opportunity to learn something new from Mr. Zhuang.
Just when Tang Ping left Qian Chao's residence in confusion, in the small courtyard of Mr. Zhuang in Ruixuan Town, Mr. Zhuang and Qian Chao were sitting across the chessboard, and he still had a chess piece in his hand, but his eyes were staring at Qian Chao curiously.
"Five Elements Welling Formation? What kind of formation is this, come and come, don't be in a hurry to play chess, you tell me in detail. ”
"Okay."
