Chapter 282: Conscience
The inner and outer doors of Tianlan Sect are the difference between identity, and the impact of the difference in identity is huge, the mountain gate of Tianlan Sect is more than 100 miles in radius, but the core area is only more than ten miles in size, and it is rare to see outer disciples here, and some are also here to do tasks, mainly to undertake relatively low-end work.
Outer disciples do this work to receive tasks, and they have a little salary to get, otherwise ordinary outer disciples can only receive two pieces of spirit jade a month, which is not enough for their cultivation needs.
This kind of social model is actually no different from a part-time job, but they are better than casual cultivation, because casual cultivation doesn't even have two spirit jades, and each one has to earn it by itself.
"This is the core of the sect, the library pavilion, the treasury, the council hall, are all in this area, and the Asking Heart Tower is also here."
Chen Shifeng personally brought Jiang Cheng to ask his heart, he had already planned it, even if Jiang Cheng did not pass the level of conscience, he would recruit Jiang Cheng, after all, Jiang Cheng's strength was over there, and he could kill two Cave Xuan Realm cultivators, it was not weak, and when the time came, he would arrange to go to the Chen family, and it could even become his own private force.
"Thank you, brother"
"No, you don't have to be nervous, it's not a big deal to ask your heart, and it's very beneficial to your practice, many people don't know where their flaws are, and you can find your own flaws through the Question Tower."
"I understand"
Jiang Cheng said, if you don't have a good conscience, you won't die, unless you are discovered by the Tianlan Sect that you are a spy of another sect, otherwise the sect will not pay attention to you, and at most you will not be allowed to enter the inner gate.
After waiting for a while, it was finally Jiang Cheng's turn, under the guidance of a disciple, Jiang Cheng came to a room in the Asking Heart Tower, a disciple lit a stick of incense in front of Jiang Cheng, and said, "Uncle Shi, this is ecstasy incense, in order to enhance the hallucinogenic effect, the time is an hour, please don't use your divine sense to resist, enter the illusion this morning, after that, your ears will hear the crisp sound of the copper bell, and you can go out on your own."
"Got it, I'm glad I suffered"
"This is what a disciple should do"
The man quickly exited the Inquiry Tower, Jiang Cheng suddenly inhaled a puff of ecstasy incense, and scenes began to appear in his mind.
With a turn of consciousness, these scenes quickly disappeared, but a more powerful sense of vertigo came, and this was the effect of the Tower of Inquiry that began to work.
"Disciple Jiang Cheng, don't resist"
"Yes"
A voice came, Jiang Cheng quickly retracted his sense, and in his mind, a stream of desire emerged.
These desires are not unfamiliar to Jiang Cheng, that is, wine-colored wealth, these things really have no temptation for Jiang Cheng, because in Dawei, wine-colored wealth is also something that he can get at his fingertips and suffer every day.
However, with the change of scenes, Jiang Cheng gradually lost himself in the environment, and the Tianlan Sect's Conscience Tower was very clever, even a true monarch could be confused, let alone Jiang Cheng.
·······
"Jiang Cheng, our Tianlan Sect and Tianxu Sect have been fighting fiercely for more than ten years, the resources have been exhausted, and now there is an urgent shortage of resources, the sect ordered you to go back to Great Wei and dig out the resources of Great Wei, are you willing?"
"The disciple is willing"
"Okay, from this year onwards, Dawei will hand over tribute every year, two million spiritual jade, five hundred elixirs, and 100,000 catties of ore, of which the elixirs are ·····."
I don't know how long it took, Jiang Cheng only remembered that he had passed the level of conscience, and then cultivated in Tianlan Sect, Chen Shifeng was very good to him, and even married a daughter of the Chen family to him, and his cultivation also slowly rose.
However, the Tianlan Sect and the Tianxu Sect have been at war, and now it is time to destroy the Dao of the Tianxu Sect, but because of the years of fighting, the Tianlan Sect is also depleted of financial resources and urgently needs to replenish resources.
So the sect gave Jiang Cheng a task, that is, to return to Great Wei and squeeze resources, Jiang Cheng looked at those lists and immediately frowned.
This list is very long, the spirit jade is only the most basic, the elixir is graded, and the ore lists a lot of scarce ores.
Jiang Cheng subconsciously knew that if Great Wei wanted to meet this requirement, he didn't know how many people would die, taking the most basic spiritual jade as an example, two million pieces of standard spiritual jade, which was four or five times the existing capacity of Great Wei, which meant that Great Wei would have to mobilize at least one million or more laborers to excavate, plus other minerals, no three or five million laborers would not be able to do it at all.
And once the Great Wei mobilizes three to five million young and middle-aged people to serve in labor, it will inevitably cause a large-scale abandonment, and the abandonment will bring a great famine, and hundreds of people will die.
"Uncle Shi, this requirement is too high, Da Wei can't do it"
"How not to do it"
"Let's not talk about whether there are so many minerals, even if there are, it will take millions of young adults to dig them, and many people will die."
"Jiang Cheng, the people of Great Wei are not dead, what does it have to do with you, don't forget, you are a member of the sect, not a person of Great Wei"
"But"
"No, but, this is an order, you either execute it, or I will replace someone to carry it out, you go to the front line to fight, attack the mountain gate of Tianxu Sect, and you still need your help"
"Uncle Shi"
"Roll"
"Yes"
Jiang Cheng was reprimanded and could only leave in disgrace.
And when he went out, Chen Shifeng found Jiang Cheng and persuaded him not to confront the sect, and to take advantage of Jiang Chengxiao and confront the sect, which never ended well.
Jiang Cheng's friends in Tianlan Sect also came to persuade him, Yun'er, Yanyan, Xianmen's wife, and even his son were all persuading Jiang Cheng to agree.
"It doesn't feel right, but what's wrong?"
Back at his residence, Jiang Cheng habitually calmed himself down, he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.
If he doesn't understand, he doesn't want to, but seriously thinks about the pros and cons of this matter, the attitude above is already very clear, if he doesn't agree, he will face great consequences, not only will he no longer be taken seriously, but he will also be transferred to the front line, and the front line, the casualty rate of the Divine Soul and Dong Xuan is the highest, because it is the main force of the battle.
The pros and cons of the two are clear at a glance, so Jiang Cheng agreed without hesitation, and a transmission note was typed.
At the same time, outside the Asking Heart Tower, the two True Monarchs were looking at Jiang Cheng, and when they saw Jiang Cheng's actions and the content of the Transformation of the Asking Heart Tower, they were suddenly a little surprised, and said, "How did he pass, didn't Chen Shifeng say that this son is in the Great Wei of the Lost Land, and he is worried about the country and the people?" ”
"I don't know if this person is a person who is good at disguise, and his true face is a selfish person"
"This, then do you want him to pass, Chen Shifeng said, this son is not small-minded, and he is good at forbearance, and the Divine Soul Realm can cut the hole Xuan, and in the future, he will either become a great talent of my Tianlan Sect, or become a big disaster."
One of them said that after the battle of Yongdu City, Chen Shifeng secretly sent someone to investigate Jiang Cheng and knew what Jiang Cheng had done.
"Come on, as a big sect, this bit of bearing still has to be there, this son has merit, and he has passed the tower of inquiry, if you don't give it, you can't say it."
"Okay then, wake him up"
The two of them discussed, rang the bronze bell, and the crisp voice woke Jiang Cheng up.
"Disciple Jiang Cheng, congratulations on passing the Tower of Inquiry"
"Thank you, Uncle"
"Let's go back and practice, so I can feel it"
"Yes, Uncle Shi"
Jiang Cheng hurriedly withdrew from the Asking Heart Tower, Chen Shifeng was still waiting outside, knowing that Jiang Cheng had passed, Chen Shifeng was suddenly overjoyed, the treatment of inner disciples and outer disciples was completely different, as long as Jiang Cheng didn't fall halfway, a cave Xuan Realm didn't run away.
"Senior brother, I have realized in my heart that I want to go back to retreat."
"Go, I'll look for you again in seven days"
"Yes"
Jiang Cheng flew directly back to his residence, and the Land Rover was also waiting over there, knowing that Jiang Cheng had passed the Inquiry Tower, his face suddenly became a little exciting.
Jiang Cheng didn't want to say more, he went back to his room directly, and after closing the door, he sat down cross-legged, thinking about the scene at that time.
"Tower of Inquiry, but that's it"
Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Cheng sneered in his heart, this time he was completely confused.
At first, he did enter the illusion realm, but when he felt doubtful, he activated his divine sense, and at that moment, the crazy operation of the sun and moon map on the sea in the sea of consciousness actually canceled out the influence of the tower of inquiry, allowing him to maintain a sense of sobriety, so he quickly made a decision.
And now that I think about it, even if he hadn't stayed awake, he would have made the same choice, because the question of the heart tower is logically extremely flawed.
What they designed was for the Tianlan Sect to attack the Tianxu Sect, which was in urgent need of resources, so that Jiang Cheng would go back to Great Wei to collect resources, and it would take countless people to die to complete this task, Jiang Cheng's choice was to agree or not to agree.
But if it is put in reality, Jiang Cheng only has two choices, no, there is a third choice, that is, resistance, Jiang Cheng will immediately agree.
Then take the opportunity to return to the Great Wei, control the entire Great Wei with the strongest means, and then squeeze the people's power to collect resources, but Jiang Cheng will control, and the squeezed resources are used to arm the people of the Great Wei and resist.
Therefore, Jiang Cheng despises the Tower of Inquiry, this is an old, rotten thing, and it is not suitable to test people's hearts at all, because people's hearts can also be deceived in the past.
If the Tianlan Sect only relied solely on the Question Pagoda to test the loyalty of its disciples, there would inevitably be a big problem, as long as the logical errors in it were mastered, there would inevitably be many people who would pass the test in confusion.
Besides, even if he didn't get through the trick, would it really be reliable, if Jiang Cheng chose Tianlan Sect this time because of interests, then one day, Tianlan Sect was weak, or Jiang Cheng was facing higher interests, wouldn't he still be able to abandon Tianlan Sect with peace of mind?
"No matter, the next thing is to collect resources and improve cultivation, Da Wei, I still have to go back"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and threw his distracting thoughts out of his mind, he was not a high-level member of the Tianlan Sect, so it was true that he did so much and worked hard to improve his cultivation.
