Chapter 427: The "Rise" of the Wuzhu Sect
Facing Shang Hongzhen's slightly unceremonious inquiry, Peng Gong's face changed slightly, but he immediately returned to normal, and said to Wu Changsheng and Ye Zan: "Wu Zhangjiao, Elder Ye, it's not that I don't want to do this, it's really my Wuzhu Sect's small family and small business, and I have to rely on me to guard it, it's really powerless!"
Peng Gong's excuse is not unreasonable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The third-rate sect of the Wuzhu faction is now supported by a patriarch of Peng Gong, if Peng Gong really has an accident outside, then the Wuzhu faction will immediately become an unpopular sect. In fact, many third-rate sects also have such a problem, as the pillar of the sect, the ancestor is not only the strongest combat power of the sect, but also a baby bump that cannot be surprised.
But the problem is, to do rail transit construction, not to attack the Demon Dao sect, what accidents can be? What's more, when doing rail transit construction, it is not a person who acts alone, at least there are five or six ancestors together, who dares to fight their ideas?
Moreover, Ye Zan also took into account such a problem, so there is a principle in the recruitment plan, which is the "principle of proximity". In other words, a group of ancestors from all over the world will not be summoned, and then they will go to this side and there to do projects. Instead, as much as possible, arrange those who are willing to participate in the construction of rail transit to work nearby and participate in the construction of projects in nearby areas.
In this case, Peng Gong still used this as an excuse to only want to get benefits from Yuqingzong's side, but he didn't want to put any effort into it, which is a bit unreasonable.
Hearing Peng Gong's answer, although Ye Zan's expression on his face did not change, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Those who beg, regardless of whether they are liars or not, at least lie on the ground in the cold, and the alms they get know that "good people have a safe life", which can be regarded as hard-earned money. And people like Peng Gong don't want to give anything, they just want to get benefits, they are even inferior to beggars.
"Oh, that's right," Ye Zan nodded, as if agreeing with what Peng Gong said.
Hearing Ye Zan's words, Peng Gong suddenly felt a trace of joy in his heart, and felt that "borrowing" the spiritual rice was something that should be done, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you Elder Ye for your understanding." ā
However, immediately afterward, Ye Zan was ashamed, got up and arched his hand to Gong Peng, his tone was a little helpless, and said: "However, I also hope that Elder Peng can understand that all the spiritual rice in my sect now is just barely enough for the disciples of this sect." Next, I will invite friends from all walks of life to participate in the construction of rail transit, so I really can't take out the extra spiritual rice and 'lend' it to your faction. ā
Ye Zan's words, like a basin of cold water, immediately poured Peng Gong cold. Gong Peng's face suddenly became a little ugly, as if he couldn't believe it, and asked Ye Zan faintly with a bit of questioning, "What does Elder Ye mean by this?"
"Ye Daoyou couldn't have said it more clearly, why is Peng Daoyou still a little deaf?" Shang Hongzhen said with a bit of ridicule beside him.
"Uncle Peng, what Elder Ye said is exactly what this seat wants to say. The spiritual rice seeds were already very limited, and even after this period of cultivation, my sect was barely enough for my own family now. Even if I squeeze out a part as much as possible, it is to thank all the Taoist friends who have helped me on the rail transit. It's better for Uncle Shi to wait for another two years, and when my sect has a good life, let alone 'borrow', what is it to give your sect a batch of spiritual rice. Wu Changsheng suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and patiently explained to Peng Gong.
However, Peng Gong was not stupid enough to turn his face with Yuqingzong like this, so he smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Wu Zhangjiao, I also know that this matter is a bit embarrassing for your sect. However, please also see that my two lineages are of the same origin, and I can help each other at a time. ā
"Hehe, Peng Daoyou, I just said to let Yuqingzong help you with the Wuzhu Sect, but Yuqingzong needs help from others on the rail transit now, why can't you make a little effort?" Shang Hongzhen said with a sneer next to him. He would say this, on the one hand, because he didn't want to watch Peng Gong take advantage of nothing, and on the other hand, he also meant to please Yuqingzong a little.
When Peng Gong heard this, his face sank slightly, and he turned his head to Shang Hongzhen and said: "That rail transit is just a thing for the use of secular mortals, and we cultivators should be far away from the mundane world, how can we be so deeply involved in it." Now, now that the rail transit of the Tang Kingdom has been built, Yuqingzong should withdraw as soon as possible, so as not to fall deeper and deeper into the world. ā
Peng Gong's words seemed to be said to Shang Hongzhen, but at the same time, he was also said to Wu Changsheng and Ye Zan. Anyway, in his opinion, it is not necessary for Yuqingzong to engage in this rail transit construction, and those spiritual rice that are ready to be used for salary payment might as well be directly "loaned" to his Wuzhu faction.
"Elder Peng doesn't need to say it, since my sect has done this in this matter, there is naturally a reason. It can be said that the construction of this rail transit will be the first priority of our sect for a period of time in the future. Therefore, even if the disciples of my sect can't enjoy this spiritual rice, they will not treat the Daoists from all walks of life who come to help. Ye Zan said in a very resolute tone, and at the same time told Peng Gong that as long as you help build rail transit, this spiritual rice will never be missing you.
It's a pity that Peng Gong didn't want to work for Yuqingzong at all, even if Ye Zan always said that he was "helping" Yuqingzong. Therefore, hearing Ye Zan's reckless response, Peng Gong's face also looked a little ugly, but he didn't dare to attack, so he had to suppress his anger and said, "What Elder Ye means by this is that he really wants to ignore the origin of my two sects and refuse to lend me any spiritual rice at all?"
Wu Changsheng shook his head and said helplessly: "Please also ask Uncle Peng to understand, it's not that I don't want to, it's really beyond my power." ā
Wu Changsheng, as the head of the Yuqing Sect, said such a response, which could be regarded as a conclusion on this matter. Peng Gong stood there and hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Well, since that's the case, I won't bother too much, and say goodbye!"
After saying this, Peng Gong didn't wait for Wu Changsheng and Ye Zan to react, turned around and left the Yuqing Hall directly.
"This Peng Daoyou is too ......" Seeing Peng Gong leave, Shang Hong smiled secretly in his heart, but there was an expression of indignation on his face, as if he was not worth it for Yuqingzong.
Of course, for Shang Hongzhen's thoughts, whether it is Wu Changsheng or Ye Zan, they are very clear in their hearts. Ye Zan shook his head, turned around and said to Shang Hongzhen and Master Wuxi: "Shang Daoyou, Master Wuyan, since the two of you saw the announcement and came to help me in the Yuqing Sect, then I might as well talk about the announcement in detail." ā
"Ye Daoyou, please speak. Shang Hongzhen and Master Wuzhi said.
After some conversation, the two sides quickly agreed on the terms of cooperation. On the side of the Qingyue Sword Sect, it can be regarded as a second-rate sect, and there will be two ancestors who will join the construction project of rail transit. After all, the Guangfa Sect is only a third-rate sect, so there is only one Master Wuzhi who works for the Yuqing Sect.
At the same time, Peng Gong, who had not been able to borrow a grain of spiritual rice, also returned to the Wuzhu faction in a huff. Feeling that he had lost face, he didn't pay attention to the head and others who came up to inquire about the situation, and went straight back to his residence in the mountain behind Wanzhu Peak.
Seeing Peng Gong's appearance, everyone in the Wuzhu faction didn't need to ask, they all knew in their hearts that Peng Gong must have hit a nail in the Yuqing Sect. For this result, everyone was quite disappointed, of course, they were also very angry, hating Yuqing Sect for really ignoring the friendship of the two sects, and making their own ancestors angry like this.
Back at his residence, Peng Gong only felt resentment in his heart, but when he thought of Yuqingzong's current momentum, he felt powerless in his heart. Today's Yuqing Sect is not the time to let the Wuzhu faction and the Jinguang faction suppress it back then, if the Wuzhu faction really has any ideas revealed, I am afraid that it will end up like the Jinguang faction in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, suddenly a voice came into Peng Gong's ears.
"How is it, now you can appreciate the meaning of 'people are warm and cold, and the world is hot and cold'? Do you know that Yuqing Sect, why is it so unfriendly?"
Hearing this, Peng Gong was stunned, firstly, the voice was very unfamiliar, and secondly, he didn't notice that someone was approaching.
"Who is speaking?" Peng Gong suddenly stood up, took out the black jade nine-star bamboo in his hand, and looked in the direction where the voice came from with a wary expression.
"Hehe, don't be nervous, if the old man wants to be unfavorable to you, it will be useless for you to hold that broken bamboo. As he spoke, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of Peng Gong, turning from vague and distorted to clear and solid.
The man looked like a middle-aged man, wearing a plain Taoist robe, and there was no sect logo on the robe. Sensing that the other party's cultivation was unfathomable, Peng Gong couldn't help frowning, and asked in a deep voice, "You...... Who is it, and why did you trespass on my Wuzhu faction? ā
"Trespassing? It's just a third-rate faction, does the old man still need to break in?" the man said with a proud face.
Genshin power!
With Peng Gong's Yuanying realm, he couldn't even see the other party's cultivation, obviously the other party was at least in the Yuanshen realm.
"Former ...... Seniors, I don't know what happened to my predecessors to my Wuzhu faction. Peng Gong couldn't help but be a little nervous, and the first thing that came to mind was Yuqingzong. Although he is no stranger to Mo Ru, the current Yuqing Sect still has four Keqing elders from the Yuan God Realm. Although, when Yuqing Sect held a celebration for those four Keqing elders, he had also seen those four Yuan Shen powers, but was it difficult to change their appearance to Yuan Shen powers?
"Don't panic, don't panic, the old man came this time, and he couldn't see that your Wuzhu faction was oppressed by the Yuqing Sect, so I came to give you a chance. The man said with a smile, but there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Give me a chance?" Of course, Peng Gong would not believe the other party immediately. However, as the other party said before, if the other party is really unfavorable to him and the Wuzhu faction, where can he use any tricks, he will be directly crushed by strength.
"Yes, you haven't answered what I just asked, do you know why the Yuqing Sect doesn't take your Wuzhu Sect in the eyes so much?" The man still smiled lightly, and asked Peng Gong unhurriedly.
Hearing this, Peng Gong showed a trace of bitterness on his face, and said helplessly: "Let the seniors laugh, why else, isn't it because the strength of my Wuzhu faction is low, and it is no longer enough for him to be the help of Yuqing Sect." ā
In other words, the Wuzhu faction has no use value in the Yuqing Sect, and the Yuqing Sect will naturally not take the Wuzhu faction in their eyes anymore.
The man smiled, and then asked with a bit of seduction: "So, do you want to let the Wuzhu Sect regain the strength to fight against the Yuqing Sect, and no longer need to look at the face of the Yuqing Sect?"
"This, why don't you want to do this, but can you think about it?" Peng Gong put away the Moyu Nine Star Bamboo, and said to the man with a face full of shame: "If you want to fight against the Yuqing Sect, our faction must at least be able to produce a Yuan Shen power." But it's a shame to say that the junior has limited qualifications, and now he can step into the realm of the Yuan Infant, and he has done his best, even if he dares to hope for the realm of the Yuan Shen. ā
"Hehe, you really can't do it, but the old man can help you. The man had a smug look on his face.
"What does the senior mean, could it be that he intends to join my Wuzhu faction?" asked Peng Gong with a face full of disbelief. At the same time, there was a sudden nervousness in his heart. He is not stupid, the Yuqing Sect has the power of the Yuan God to be a guest of Elder Qing, because there is also the power of the Yuan God, so as not to let others turn against the guest. However, his Wuzhu faction does not have the power of the Yuan Shen at all, and if he introduces a Yuan Shen power as a guest elder, I am afraid that this Wuzhu Sect will also become someone else's thing.
"Snort!" the man sneered very disdainfully, and said unceremoniously: "You little black bamboo faction, you are also worthy of letting the old man join?"
Peng Gong listened to it with a block in his heart, although the other party's words could be regarded as relieving his worries, but this answer was too ruthless. However, in the face of a primordial god power, no matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart, he was not afraid to show the slightest hint, and hurriedly asked, "Then I don't know what the predecessors mean?"
Seeing that person, after hearing Peng Gong's question, he reached out and touched the Qiankun ring, and suddenly a fist-sized bead appeared in his hand. That bead, exuding a faint light, looked like a night pearl, but if you look closely at the light, it is composed of infinite avenue runes.
"This is an opportunity given to you by the old man, as long as you take this divine pill, stepping into the realm of the primordial gods is just a blink of an eye. The man took the bead and said to Peng Gong.
No matter how stupid a person is, he knows that there is no pie in the sky in this world, and even if the so-called divine pill can really make people step into the realm of the primordial gods, it must make people pay a price. Gong Peng didn't reach out to pick up the Divine Pill, his eyes turned around the Divine Pill and the person's face a few times, and asked, "Senior, this Divine Pill...... Can it really help me step into the realm of the primordial gods?"
"Don't say that you are a Yuanying realm, even if you are a person who builds the foundation realm, after taking this divine pill, you can step on the Yuanshen realm in one step. The man said proudly.
"However, such a precious thing, the seniors gave it to the juniors like this, but I don't know what to give back to the juniors?" Peng Gong couldn't help but be moved, but he still asked the other party with the remaining reason.
