Chapter 17: Cause and Effect, Cycles, Life and Death.

Canglan Sect.

Gao Ce looked at Li Zhi, who was sitting high in front of him, and his face became extremely embarrassed, but after all, he still didn't stiffly step forward and salute.

"Senior Brother!"

"Hmm!"

Li Zhi looked at Gao Ce in the row of outer disciples who saluted him, and he was also very emotional.

I saw Gao Ce before, and I wanted to say a senior brother, who would have thought that in just a few days, he had become an inner disciple, so he changed to Gao Ce and called himself senior brother.

There are elders of the Canglan Sect presiding over the competition, and the inner disciples act as referees, and when the two sides divide the victory and defeat, they will stop the game in time to ensure that no one will die in the competition.

This job has extremely high requirements for the judge's vision and strength, because the referee has a large degree of independent judgment, so before each competition, the outer disciples will stammer with the inner disciples who are responsible for serving as the referee.

Don't seek partiality, just be fair and selfless.

Originally, this kind of good thing could not fall on the head of Li Zhi, a disciple of the inner sect, but who made him so famous for his exceptional promotion is too big, he belongs to the only person in the Canglan Sect within a hundred years, and he is favored by the great elder with such a great creation as Taixu Ding.

suddenly became a celebrity in the inner door, and there was an endless stream of people who came to get acquainted with him in the past two days, and even this fat difference fell on his head.

And this qualification is still given up by others, and it is good for him to be presented, he sees that this task is convenient and simple, and it does not take much time, so he should be down.

There are two interesting facts.

One is that among the people who came to visit, Li Zhi also unexpectedly met an acquaintance, who was none other than someone else, who had a relationship with him and sold sugar gourds, the daughter of the city lord of Cangshan City, Nie Xue'er.

The little girl and Li Zhi are the same group of worshippers, but they are directly entering the inner door, and they haven't seen each other for a while, and the children are tall, although their words and deeds pretend to be old, but they are still childish, but they look very cute.

She should have listened to her mother's instructions, carried the gift, and took the initiative to come to the door to make friends with this promising disciple, saying the words that were obviously memorized in advance, and the words were stumbling, with a cramped and nervous look, Li Zhi, who saw it, almost laughed out loud.

For the other people who visited, Jiang You sent it away in three or two sentences, but this little girl, Li Zhi left a whole stick of incense, and when Nie Xue'er went out with relief, she saw her mother standing under a tree not far away, and hurriedly ran forward happily.

"Cher, how's it going?"

"This senior brother Nie is not as fierce as the legend, but he is very kind, he took the initiative to pour tea, and even took out a sugar gourd to entertain him, I finished my mother's words, drank tea, and came out after eating the sugar gourd."

Who knew that her mother heard this, but her face was cold, "You are now a monk, how can you still be greedy for these mortal snacks, remember, don't treat yourself as a child anymore, you are now an inner disciple of the Canglan Sect, and you have to have requirements for yourself all the time, you know?" ”

Nie Xue'er saw that she had obviously completed the task perfectly according to her mother's words, but she was still reprimanded by her mother, and it was so difficult to get a little praise from her, her little face was aggrieved, and her eyes were filled with tears at that time, "Got it, mother!" ”

"It turns out that Senior Sister Nie is Elder Fan's daughter, why didn't Elder Sun come in with him before, and let the disciple be rude for nothing!"

Li Zhi went out and smiled at the mother and daughter.

When Li Zhi entered the inner door, under the leadership of the old man of the Chuangong Palace, he understood all the rules of the inner door clearly, and he thought that he would not fail to know the elders of the inner gate.

Nie Xue'er's mother's name is Fan Weiyue, refining the Void Realm and cultivating herself, serving in the Law Enforcement Palace, acting in a tough and resolute manner.

can raise an innocent character like Nie Xue'er, presumably due to her father's credit.

"Senior nephew Li doesn't need to be polite, although Xue'er entered the inner door a few days early, but after all, she is too young, and the cultivators are based on strength, Xue'er still thinks of herself as a junior sister, and her nephew is extremely talented, and I hope to give Xue'er more advice in the future!"

"Since the elders spoke, Li Zhi didn't dare to disobey, Senior Sister Xue'er acted calmly and generously, and she was quite graceful in her gestures, and the senior nephew must have been a famous family before, but at this time, it was really so!"

Knowing a daughter is better than her mother, although Fan Weiyue's mother is in a state of absence in Nie Xue'er's growth process, but an elder of the Refining Void Realm is not enough to be unable to see through a little girl.

Naturally, he would not believe Li Zhi's words, but Li Zhi was willing to give her this face, which still made her happy.

Fan Weiyue brought her daughter here, but she didn't enter the door, Li Zhi knew that this was to show Nie Xue'er's background and stand up for her daughter.

As an elder of the Law Enforcement Palace, he has done his best for his daughter's future connections, and he has shown enough love.

This second interesting thing is that Jiang You chose Danfeng after joining the inner gate, and the peak master of the Netherworld Realm went out and never returned, and it was Danfeng's senior brother who led him to salute the portrait of the peak master.

It can be regarded as an apprenticeship ceremony.

Who knew that when Li Zhi went to see the portrait of the peak master, he found that the person on it, the red-clothed crane hair, was not the old man in red who had just entered this realm and almost refined himself?

I didn't expect that I would be able to see him in such a way when I went around and around.

Fortunately, he let Jiang You take it away with all his means, and now Li Zhi, even if he is an old man in red, can't see the slightest flaw.

It's okay now, before he was worried that the three pills couldn't figure out the medicinal properties, but now that he has met the main master, it should be no problem!

"The competition begins!"

The elder sitting in the middle gave an order, and immediately the outer disciples who were ready stepped into the ring one after another.

And Li Zhi is also responsible for the duties of the referee, and he is in charge of the referee, it is Gao Ce.

Gao Ce is holding a spear, the gun is like a dragon, the momentum is magnificent, the opponent is a thin man, holding two knives, the body is ghostly, the knife is exquisite, like a seal, all of them will block Gao Ce's attack, wandering around the outside, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

Gao Ce, as a senior brother of the outer sect, although his strength has been recognized by everyone, he is only his generation, a person who started early, but he doesn't buy this account, and his strength is not weak at all.

Although the two of them are already in the Aiki realm, in Li Zhi's eyes, they are also mediocre, not to mention that it is just a competition in the ring, not a life-and-death fight, and the intensity of the battle has dropped to a new level.

When the two fought until the seventh move, Jiang You could see that the balance of victory had begun to tilt in favor of Gao Ce.

This disciple with a double knife broke the gun several times, and wanted to get close, but he was slapped back by Gao Ce with a gun, and after several attacks were declared unsuccessful, the momentum has plummeted, as long as Gao Ce fights steadily, victory is only a matter of time.

"Huh?" Just when Li Zhi had already predicted the direction and outcome of the battle, the man with the two knives suddenly slowed down, and the rhythm of his breathing began to change.

In Gao Ce's eyes, he thought that this person was not physically strong and his breathing rhythm was slow, but Li Zhi knew at a glance that this person was going to accumulate strength for a battle against the water.

Sure enough, after the two of them made two more moves, a long knife rose with blood and turned into a hungry wolf and slashed forward, Gao Ce's blood boiled, the big gun struck, and after the collision, the long knife shattered, but the fragments were wrapped in blood and hit Gao Ce like a shower of stars.

Gao Ce turned his spear, squatted down slightly, and the tip of the spear stabbed forward with force.

Suddenly, a shock rolled out, stabbing all the fragments, and at this time, the man finally seized the opportunity, almost sticking to the blood spear, and broke into Gao Ce's close body, and the long knife shook and slammed into Gao Ce's throat.

Who knows, in the face of this knife, Gao Ce directly emitted a purple light with his left hand, grabbed the blade, and deflected the blade away, and at the same time took a pinch of footsteps, his body flashed, and after the man slashed the air, he wanted to turn back, and the cold tip of the spear was already pointing at his face.

"Senior brother, concede!"

Gao Ce put away his gun and smiled at the man.

"There is no problem with the tactics, but the hard power is not good, and the loss is not unjust!" Li Zhi thought in his heart.

Immediately, he presided over three more rings in a row, and when it was all over, the candidates for the inner door had been decided.

At this time, the sun was shining obliquely from the western mountains, and everything on the ground was shrouded in a blur of roses.

It was also a bloody remnant of the sun, just like when Li Zhi entered the outer door.

And the identities of Li Zhi and Gao Ce were reversed, and Li Zhi and several inner disciples led these outer doors to handle all the affairs after being promoted to the inner door.

Gao Ce fell behind and walked side by side with Li Zhi.

"Senior Brother Gao, congratulations on your successful joining the Inner Gate!"

"Compared with my senior brother, I am only ashamed of my junior brother!" Gao Ce's face was embarrassed, and his eyes were avoiding Li Zhi intentionally or unintentionally.

After all, at this moment, just like that time, he was high-spirited, although he was humble, but he was arrogant and introverted, and he was consciously talented.

But Li Zhi's appearance shattered all his arrogance, allowing him to witness with his own eyes how the real Tianjiao rose, and the inner door that he had been striving for was easily and effortlessly joined for Li Zhi.

Immediately made him feel a sense of disillusionment and inferiority.

All his own efforts seem insignificant in the face of other people's creation.

But I don't have the good life of others, what can I do but work hard?

Although he thinks this reason, it doesn't mean that he can get by in his heart, especially in a proud person, this kind of rapid change in identity and status occurs.

This kind of dramatic thing made this young man's Dao heart, which did not have enough experience and wisdom to support it, already beginning to shatter.

"In just a few days, you and I have changed identities, and all of this is because of the creation I have obtained, and my junior brother is unwilling?"

Li Zhi said with a smile.

Gao Ce didn't expect Li Zhi to say this directly, and immediately reined in his expression and said: "Senior brother, why do you say this, creation is an indispensable thing on the path of cultivation, senior brother has the atmosphere in his body, before he was just a hidden dragon in the abyss, and now it is time to take off above the nine heavens, how can I be unwilling, junior brother?" ”

"Haha, lie!"

Gao Ce had never seen a person like Li Zhi, so why didn't he find out that this person was acting so unreasonably? What is he going to do here? Humiliate me?

"But do you still remember what you said to those disciples when I started, within a year, when you entered the inner gate, did you really think that they could do the same thing as you?"

"This person's talents are different, and they can't be generalized, and several juniors may not be able to."

"No, you came step by step, you must be clear about the rules of the outer door."

Gozer fell silent.

"But, does that mean they're bad?"

"Senior brother, what do you want to say, junior brother is stupid, you might as well have something to say!"

"Practice, cultivation, who goes, is nothing more than doing the way, since it is walking, then naturally some people walk fast, some people walk slowly, there are always people who say, one step fast, step by step.

I used to think so, but when I really went fast, I realized that this sentence is simply a lie, slow, there is a reason for slow, and fast has the defect of fast.

Sometimes, if you want to go far, you have to take your time.

Some people can join the inner door at a young age, but they stop at the true realm for a lifetime;

Some people only start to practice in old age, but they can soar to the sky and rise to the top;

Some people were young and high-spirited, and lived for 300 years, but before they lived to be 50 years old, they were beaten to death;

There are also mortals who live to be a hundred years old.

Some people were driven out of the outer gate, so they had a chance in life outside, and they were reborn.

Even if some people get the true inheritance, they are just doing nothing and becoming a stepping stone for others!

What I want to say is that there are people around you who may be far ahead of you, some people who may be behind you, but everything has its own rhythm. They have their rhythm, you have your own, be patient.

As you gain more experience, you will eventually find that you will never be able to beat everyone, and any more may only add to your annoyance. There will always be someone who is better than you, and there will always be someone who is inferior to you.

None of this has anything to do with you, I have a friend whose grandfather named him Jiang Wuguan.

It means that instead of going out spiritually, it is better to meditate on one's own mind.

This sentence is sent to you! ”

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he saw that Gao Ce's expression was already stunned, and he stared blankly at the sunset under his feet and the deep shadow that was reflected by himself.

Suddenly, he hugged his fist at Li Zhi and bowed deeply, "Hearing what my senior brother said today, it is like an empowerment, and the sorrow in my heart suddenly disappears, senior brother, please accept the worship of my junior brother!" ”

Li Zhi smiled, did not hide at all, and accepted this great gift.

At this point, Gao Ce's senior brother to Li Zhi is sincere.

When Gao Ce got up, "Senior brother, why are you helping me so much?" ”

"Do you remember what you said to me when I entered Canglan City?"

"Let Senior Brother buy magic weapons in the city and prepare more? At that time, I didn't know the strength of my senior brother, but now it seems that it is just a joke. ”

"No, it's not a joke, it's because of this sentence that I got these words today!"

What Li Zhi said made Gao Ce confused, but when he thought that Li Zhi's style had always been like this, it was not surprising.

"In the example of my senior brother's encouragement, it is said that some people can still soar to the sky when they are old and cultivate, but how many years have they wasted in their old age, can they really catch up?"

"Of course, that old man is very powerful, very fierce, but it's a pity that he is not here, otherwise you will know when you see him."

Li Zhi thought of the fifth master, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

"That's right, Senior Brother, the true inheritance of our sect, Senior Brother Lan, was defeated by the hands of that big Kou Feng Bu, although this matter has been famous in the Northland, but after all, everyone is in the same situation, it is better to say less about this, if it is passed into the ears of Senior Brother Lan, I am afraid that it will be a matter of life!"

Gao Ce was completely convinced by Li Zhi and had begun to sincerely suggest for Li Zhi.

"Haha, I didn't name it, and I couldn't help it if someone sat down!

Okay, it's rare that you're willing to listen to me, the first few people have already gone far, and we're speeding up! ”

"Didn't Senior Brother say to go at your own pace? Just walk slowly! ”

Li Zhi was stunned, the two looked at each other and laughed. (End of chapter)
