Chapter 250 - Acquisition of Power
Jinding domain.
A desolate corner of a second-order vein.
The Qi Transformation Ink Lotus clone, which was completely integrated with a piece of mountain stone, slowly condensed out.
"100 percent power? Not bad. β
Feeling that the spiritual power in this spirit lotus's body had returned to a full state, Meng Zhou was very happy in his heart.
After clarifying the direction a little, the spirit body of the Transforming Qi Ink Lotus dodged away from this place and headed straight for its destination.
Previously, stimulated by some changes in the Spirit Control Domain, Meng Zhou accelerated his "breakthrough" ability to the Mingxin Pavilion of the Three Domains, including the Golden Ding Domain, through the method of "fishing".
By releasing cross-domain tasks, the Mingxin Pavilion that was too hidden took the initiative to "fish" out.
The results are also clear.
For example, the avatar of the Transforming Ink Lotus that Meng Zhou temporarily took over at this moment had squatted at close range to the Spirit Domain, the Mingxin Pavilion Master and many core members were actively exposed to the mission route.
The reason why they didn't take action immediately was that they wanted to follow the vine, follow their exposed cores, and try to grasp the veins of the Spirit Domain Mingxin Pavilion as much as possible before the official action;
Again, he didn't want people to associate this action with a cross-domain mission that had been transferred from the Qingxuan Domain.
Even though there are not many people who can pay attention to this matter, or even non-existent, Meng Zhou still habitually does an extra layer of isolation.
Now, however, there is no need to have these concerns.
Within the five domains, there are now "hot events" one after another.
Under the sweep of the flood, who has time to pay attention to the fate of a small courtyard in a remote and secluded location?
Among the three domains of the Danqi Domain, the Golden Ding Domain, and the Hehuan Domain, the reason why Meng Zhou regarded the Golden Ding Domain Mingxin Pavilion as the first breakthrough was because the Lord of the Mingxin Pavilion of this domain gave him the most special feeling.
The Mingxin Pavilion Masters of the Danqi Domain and the Hehuan Domain, although their abilities and temperaments are different, they and Song Yang, the Mingxin Pavilion Master of the Qingxuan Domain, can basically be classified in the same category.
No matter how different their own personalities and abilities are, what is the same is that they are the undisputed masters of the Mingxin Pavilion in the domain where they are located.
There may be some that are more unique, more unavoidable, such as Song Yang, the master of the Mingxin Pavilion of the Qingxuan Domain;
Some are softer and better at listening to the opinions of more people, such as the Mingxin Pavilion Master of the Danqi Domain;
Some are a little more professional, such as Song Yang, who hides cold-bloodedness under professionalism;
Some are a little more cruel and perverted, such as the self-produced and self-sold Heavenly Eunuch Pavilion Lord in the Hehuan Domain, obtaining information from the target is only incidental, torturing others with extremely cruel methods, and getting a sense of coolness in the extreme wail of the target prey is what he is really chasing.
Even with these many differences, the three of them were all classified as one big category by Meng Zhou.
These are all extremely normal power structures.
The Mingxin Pavilion of the Soul Domain during the Yuqiao period can be classified as a separate category.
And the power structure within the Mingxin Pavilion of the Golden Ding Domain, although it is not as special as the Mingxin Pavilion of the Spirit Control Domain during the Yuqiao period, it is not a normal model.
To put it simply, the old pavilion master of the Mingxin Pavilion of the Golden Ding Domain had only been dead for less than five years.
The one who now took over the position of the master of the Mingxin Pavilion was his apprentice, and his only apprentice.
What's even more outrageous is that this apprentice named Tong Binglin is still less than thirty years old, and until the old pavilion master dies, he doesn't know that his master still has the skin of the Mingxin Pavilion master.
Even after the death of the old pavilion master, he didn't know this.
It wasn't until he finished dealing with the old pavilion master's aftermath and was pushed to the top by a group of people that he realized that he had become the new Mingxin Pavilion master.
And the fact that he can become the master of the Mingxin Pavilion itself is also the result of the hedging game between the multiple forces within the Mingxin Pavilion of the Golden Ding Domain.
Tong Binglin's ascension to the throne certainly has the factor of the old pavilion master's apprentice, but the more important reason is because this is the most easily accepted and least bad result among the many choices after the game of all parties.
He is nominally the master of the Mingxin Pavilion, but in fact he is just a buffer point to stabilize the contradictions and conflicts between the various parties in the Mingxin Pavilion of the Golden Ding Domain.
It is a little reluctant to say that it is a puppet pavilion master.
What made Meng Zhou feel interesting was that Tong Binglin, who had never received an "orthodox" education, had very opinions about Mingxin Pavilion's unscrupulous approach in order to obtain information and trade information.
It can even be said to be extremely disgusting!
It's a pity that he is only the nominal cabinet master and does not have any substantive power.
After a few bumpers, he has now accepted his fate and is in retreat in a place as safe as a prison.
This is also his biggest gain after becoming the master of the Mingxin Pavilion, although he has no substantive power, but there is no shortage of cultivation resources.
His own cultivation qualifications are also very good, he is only thirty years old, and he has successfully built a foundation with dual cultivation of the Dharma body, which can be compared with the true inheritance of the Qingxuan Sect and the Spirit Control Sect.
These are all some of the information that the Qi Transforming Ink Lotus clone found out through that cross-domain mission "Touching Melons along the Vine".
While manipulating the Transforming Qi Ink Lotus to hurry, Meng Zhou cleared up this information in his heart.
When the spiritual power within the Transforming Qi Ink Lotus clone dropped from "100%" to "98%", Meng Zhou arrived at his destination.
β¦β¦
Jinding Domain, a second-order spiritual vein.
A spacious second-order Zhongpin Cave Mansion.
Tong Binglin was shirtless, and his hands seemed to be holding an invisible giant statue.
Standing firmly on the ground with your feet apart, from your arms to your shoulders, to your torso, to your waist, to your legs, from your bones to your muscles to your fascia, it's like a bowstring that has been tightened to the limit.
There was obviously nothing on his hands, but his whole state seemed to be under extreme pressure.
The muscles and membranes of the body are vibrating at a visible frequency, and the fine red upper body gradually reflects the oily light.
At this moment, his expression suddenly froze.
The strength of the whole person condensed into an instant was discharged, and when he shook, he seemed to be almost crushed by the invisible force that did not exist on his hands.
It wasn't until he forcibly "broke up" a huge mountain that existed in the soul of the Sea Consciousness that he was relieved.
He looked at the strange man in front of him who had broken into the formation, and saw that his master was not a little flustered, but was still looking at him curiously, both wary and dissatisfied.
"Who are you? Why did you break into my cave? β
Meng Zhou, who had already looked at him seriously for a moment, opened his mouth and asked, "Mingxin Pavilion Master Tong Binglin?" β
The identity was revealed, and Tong Binglin instinctively panicked.
Thinking that the other party entering his own cave mansion was like going back to his own home, the cave formation did not play a role, and Tong Binglin's heart was even more bottomless.
"You...... You...... Who are you? β
Meng Zhoudao: "I heard that when you first took over the position of the master of the Mingxin Pavilion, you publicly suggested that you hope that the Mingxin Pavilion can do things more gently, and not be so extremely bloody?" β
"I ...... That was just my childish remarks, and although I assumed the identity of the master of the Mingxin Pavilion, I didn't actually participate in the affairs of the Mingxin Pavilion. β
Tong Binglin didn't know what the other party meant, and played Tai Chi vaguely.
After a few years of nominal career as a pavilion master, he still learned a lot.
Meng Zhou nodded, shook his head with a chuckle:
"Don't be presumptuous, in fact, I came here this time because I was attracted by your ambition.
I just don't know what your ambition was that day, and how much is left in your chest now? β
"Huh?" Tong Binglin tilted his head sideways, with an expression that doubted whether his ears were broken.
After a while, he asked stupidly:
"Pavilion...... Your Excellency, what is your purpose? β
Meng Zhou said: "Help you succeed!" β
When Tong Binglin heard this, he didn't exclaim, and the whole thing froze there directly.
He even thought for a while that the guy in front of him must be making fun of himself.
Or, maybe it's some over-energetic guy in the cabinet who came up with a trick to amuse himself.
But what's the point?
Such a clumsy drama, do you think I will be easily fooled?
Seeing Tong Binglin's reaction, Meng Zhou smiled and asked, "You don't believe it?" β
Tong Binglin didn't answer, just glared at him.
Meng Zhou nodded, "Well, that's good, don't say you don't believe it, if it's me, I won't believe it either...... However, I have a very simple way to make you understand my attitude. β
What method?
"Before I entered your cave just now, I took a closer look and found that there are four caves around you in the center, and they are all arranged by all parties in the Mingxin Pavilion to manage you, right?"
The word "management" made Tong Binglin feel a little stinging, but this is the truth, and there is nothing to deny.
Moreover, since the other party has already broken this point, then, no matter what his purpose is, there is no need for him to distort and whitewash.
So, he nodded helplessly.
Meng Zhou nodded lightly, and soon, his figure disappeared in front of Tong Binglin's eyes.
"You wait."
Tong Binglin blinked, staring hard at the area where Meng Zhou had disappeared for a while, and didn't find anything strange.
"Who is this man?"
"What the hell is he here for?"
"Inexplicably come, inexplicably go...... It's just an inexplicable one! β
Just when Tong Binglin was thinking about it in his heart for a while, Meng Zhou, who had disappeared not long ago, appeared in front of him again.
was about to ask, Tong Binglin saw four black shadows flying towards him.
He was startled and quickly dodged.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
There were four muffled sounds, Tong Binglin followed the sound, and was careful that his liver almost jumped out of his chest directly.
He saw four heads fall to the ground beside him, and when he looked over, they were tumbling like four leather balls.
With his observation of foundation building, it is easy to see that the owners of these four heads happen to be the four people around him who have been responsible for "managing" him for a long time.
Although they have been together for a long time, although they belong to different factions in the Mingxin Pavilion, they all have a common characteristic, that is, every time he gets along with them, he feels extremely uncomfortable.
- In other words, those who can be arranged here are the backbone of each faction and camp, and they are the most wary of him, the "Pavilion Master" who is really likely to make a moth if he is not careful.
When they caused him physical discomfort again and again, he didn't think about letting them all die.
But when they turned into four rolling "balls" under his feet so suddenly, almost without warning, there was not the slightest pleasant feeling in his heart.
On the contrary, there is a feeling of hairiness in my heart and thorns in my back.
Tong Binglin seemed to be completely frightened, staring at the four heads without saying a word.
Meng Zhou said: "How is it, do you believe it now?" β
"Your Excellency...... Senior, I believe it, and of course I believe what you say.
But I still don't understand, what do you want to do, that is, if you want to destroy the Mingxin Pavilion, just do it, what's the point of bringing me to you? β
Tong Binglin still asked the doubts in his heart.
Meng Zhou did not explain carefully, but said:
"As far as I know, when you first became the master of Mingxin Pavilion, you still had some naΓ―ve ideas, and you wanted to lead Mingxin Pavilion out of a new situation, and you have also done your homework on Mingxin Pavilion, right?"
Tong Binglin nodded helplessly.
"You can't manage the Mingxin Pavilion by yourself, that's for the core layer of the Mingxin Pavilion at that time...... Well, it's also the core layer now, you should have an alternative in mind, right? β
Tong Binglin smiled bitterly: "I did think about it, but it can't be called a plan, it's just groundless nonsense." β
Meng Zhou nodded, "What I want is your nonsense." β
"Huh?" Tong Binglin was dumbfounded, shocked, and incomprehensible.
"I will thoroughly clean the current core layer, and I hope you can maintain the situation of Mingxin Pavilion for me in the process."
"Ah?!!h
β¦β¦
In this way, Tong Binglin began to be forcibly taken away.
Even when he dreamed, there were some plots that he didn't dare to do, and it was really staged in him.
The monks of the Mingxin Pavilion who didn't take him seriously as the pavilion master, and he also couldn't get used to his way of doing things, were like ripe wheat in the field, falling one by one.
And around him, more and more people began to gather.
Among them, there are those who are not so bloody and do not tolerate the mainstream of Mingxin Pavilion, there are also those whose status is already very low, and there are also those who are not good for evil and fall quickly when they see the wind.
In any case, he, the "nominal and insubstantial" pavilion master, quickly became "nominal and real".
Except for himself, everyone else thought that Meng Zhou, who was too strong to speak, was really the knife in his hand.
Compared with the Mingxin Pavilion of the Spirit Control Domain, the situation of the Mingxin Pavilion of the Jinding Domain is much more "simple".
As long as you find the entry point, all you have to do is keep digging deeper, and there are no surprises in the whole process.
From start to finish, it only took half a month in total.
And in this half a month, most of the time was spent on the road.
Because of the lack of conditions for the Qingxuan Domain and the Spirit Control Domain, while destroying the original order, he still had to rebuild a core system on the original basis as soon as possible.
In terms of means, it is much milder than when dealing with the Qingxuan Domain and the Mingxin Pavilion of the Spirit Domain.
Maybe those high-level officials of the Jinding Domain Mingxin Pavilion who died in his hands in a daze would cry out aggrievedly, but this is the truth.
Many monks who didn't have too much blood on their hands not only escaped, but also found a new position in the Mingxin Pavilion led by Tong Binglin.
