Volume 1 The Human World Chapter 111 Deliberation (I)
Everything here makes Zhang Haomin feel very novel, whether it is the enshrined throne, or the decoration pattern in the main hall, or even the decoration of the carved beams and paintings, all of which are very different from the Taoist temples in the previous world.
Thinking about it carefully, it may be because the people here don't have much mystery about cultivation, spell realms and the like are already the norm, and even the existence of immortals is an ironclad fact.
Therefore, it is natural that there will be cultural differences from beliefs to customs.
But every time he thinks about this question, Zhang Haomin can't get around one of the strangest things, that is, why do people here speak Chinese, and why are the characters all traditional?
This is what he can't figure out even after racking his brains, just like why he came to this world, it seems that everything has its own providence, but this providence is hidden in the fog that cannot be removed.
However, Zhang Haomin firmly believes that everything in the world has a beginning and an end, although he doesn't know where the end will be now, but he knows one thing clearly, only by standing tall can he see far.
To know the answer to all this, he had to at least reach the same height as the white-bearded old man in the sky that day, and only then could he know where his end was.
Zhang Haomin learned Luan Huacheng's appearance, bowed to the wordless stone tablet, and for a while, the original impetuous mood gradually calmed down as if the dust had settled.
What Zheng Huajin, what Nanli, these people and these things seem to have suddenly become a long time ago, and he is full of sudden understanding after the wind and rain at this time.
Zhang Haomin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, faith is really the best choice to cleanse the soul.
Luan Huacheng patted him lightly on the shoulder, and pulled him back to reality, so he followed Luan Huacheng and walked along an inconspicuous path, with a sense of mystery that leads to the winding path.
On the east side of the main hall, behind a screen like a wall, two vermilion lattice doors were closed, and this hidden place was where Li Gongzheng usually dealt with the affairs of the sect.
Before they could knock on the door, Li Gongzheng's voice came from inside.
"Come in. ”
Luan Huacheng stood sideways to the side, after all, Li Gong was going to see Zhang Haomin alone.
He glanced at Zhang Haomin nervously, the meaning in his eyes was speechless, and Zhang Haomin was also very clear in his heart, he must still be worried about Yue Gonglun's affairs.
Zhang Haomin smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and pushed the door in.
He didn't seem to care at this time, neither worried nor nervous, maybe after experiencing the worship of the stone tablet, these miscellaneous matters were difficult to reach his mind for a while.
Compared to the main hall, the light in the room was a little dim, and the sparse sunlight shone in through the limited partition windows, turning into golden railings in the swaying sandalwood.
Because he was blocked by this "railing", his eyes were so shaky that he couldn't see clearly, so Zhang Haomin could only see the general outline of Li Gongzheng.
"Zhang Haomin greeted the sect master. ”
"There are only you and me here, so there is no need to be polite. ”
As soon as he noticed that Zhang Haomin and them were coming, Li Gongzheng put down the pen in his hand, got up and bypassed the table in front of him, and personally came to greet Zhang Haomin.
Seeing Zhang Haomin again at this time, Li Gongzheng's face couldn't help but be full of spring breeze, and even his eyes were full of relief, after all, Zhang Haomin was the best existence of his age in his heart.
Zhang Haomin bowed slightly and said, "I don't know what Senior Brother Li is looking for me?"
"Don't stand stupidly, sit down first. ”
Li Gong was sitting on the Taishi chair in the middle of the north side, and stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Haomin to sit down as well.
Because it was almost noon, the sun ran to the south, which happened to be the most dazzling time. If he sat next to Li Gongzheng, he was afraid that he would be dizzy from the abundant sunlight.
So he ran to sit opposite Li Gongzheng, as for whether Li Gongzheng would feel dazzling, it was not his business, saying that Li Gongzheng himself had to sit there.
Zhang Haomin sat on the Taishi chair, and the sunlight happened to hit him, reflecting a faint halo, which created an illusion of being like a god for Li Gongzheng.
With a wave of Li Gongzheng's hand, the aura added to Zhang Haomin's body slowly disappeared, Zhang Haomin turned around and looked at the window behind him, and he didn't know when the curtain was closed.
"I came to you this time because I wanted to discuss two things with you. ”
"Senior brother, please speak. ”
Li Gongzheng was about to speak, and suddenly remembered something, he needed to confirm it with Zhang Haomin first.
"Before I talk about these things, I want to ask you a question, did you steal that waist card from Nanli?"
Li Gongzheng's question made Zhang Haomin's heart beat more unconsciously, and he secretly wondered if he had exposed his feet somewhere, so that Li Gongzheng would ask himself again.
After seeing Zhang Haomin's puzzled expression, Li Gongzheng thought that his own problem caused Zhang Haomin's dissatisfaction, after all, this is all a matter that has settled, and he is still asking, which seems to be very distrustful of him.
So Li Gongzheng hurriedly added with a smile.
"Little junior brother, don't get me wrong, I didn't doubt what you meant, I was just curious.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether it's good or not, it's a sure thing now, and I just want to know for sure. ”
Zhang Haomin is not a three-year-old child who can follow by giving a piece of candy, as soon as Li Gongzheng said this, he immediately realized the problem, Li Gongzheng was testing him.
"I swear that if it was me who stole the waist card, I would be willing to die by thunder. ”
Zhang Haomin's attitude was so resolute, which made Li Gongzheng a little unexpected, after all, the oath had a great impact on the cultivators, and if he told a lie, the Heavenly Dao would naturally punish him.
"Oh, there's no need to swear so badly, it's good if you say no, can I still not believe it. ”
If you can believe it, will you ask again? Zhang Haomin couldn't help muttering in his heart, obviously complaining about Li Gong.
Li Gongzheng smiled and said, "Since this matter has nothing to do with you, then it's easy to say." ”
"Uh-huh. ”
Zhang Haomin smiled on the surface, but hurriedly explained in his heart: It doesn't matter what Senior Brother Li said, but I didn't say it, don't bombard me with thunder.
"As I said earlier, I came to you this time because I wanted to discuss two things with you. ”
Zhang Haomin took advantage of Li Gongzheng's inattention and secretly pursed his lips, he didn't believe that he was asking himself to discuss, at most he called himself over to listen to his opinions.
If his opinion is in line with Li Gongzheng's mind, it will naturally be a democratic agreement that both sides are happy about.
If his opinion does not conform to Li Gongzheng's thoughts, then Li Gongzheng will know how to fool him with emotion and reason, and try his best to fool himself into following his wishes, and then everyone will happily agree to democracy.
"Hmm. ”
Zhang Haomin smiled politely.
"The first thing is related to what happened today, you are the party concerned, so some follow-up questions still need your consent. ”
"Follow-up question?Zheng Huajin?"
"Well, it's not just him. Although Zheng Huajin has now been abolished by his uncle and destroyed his foundation, it is an indisputable fact that he colluded with outsiders and framed his fellow disciples.
Therefore, on his issue, there is nothing worth discussing, and the only consequence of betraying the sect is death. ”
"What's that to discuss?"
"You should also know that if Zheng Huajin was alone, he would definitely not have the courage to do such an absurd thing, so there is also his master's participation behind this. ”
Zhang Haomin didn't speak, because this was all something he knew, and there was no need for him to express any more opinions.
Whether it is Liu Xiahui or Xu Gongyi, they have already made it very clear to themselves before, this matter was personally agreed and instructed by Yue Gonglun, so Zheng Huajin has the courage.
But he also promised Xu Gongyi that this matter would not be pursued further, and Yue Gonglun would not be involved.
"What do you think about Gong Lun's affairs?"
"Just stop this matter with Zheng Huajin, there is no need to pursue it further, as for Senior Brother Yue, let him stay in Qianren Cliff and think about it. ”
"Is this your intention, or did that guy Miyayi make you say that. ”
It seems that everything can't be hidden from Li Gongzheng's eyes, he has already known the agreement between Zhang Haomin and Xu Gongyi.
But what puzzled Zhang Haomin the most was what Li Gongzheng meant by this? Does he want to pursue Yue Gonglun, or does he not want to pursue it?
"This is my intention, and it has nothing to do with Senior Brother Xu. ”
"Hahaha, since this is your intention, then do what you say, after all, you are a junior brother, how can you be wronged as a senior brother. ”
Zhang Haomin looked at Li Gongzheng and suddenly felt quite alienated, especially compared to Xu Gongyi, he lacked the affection between the same door.
Although Yue Gonglun did something wrong, he is also a member of the palace generation after all, but listening to Li Gongzheng's tone, if Zhang Haomin wants to be held responsible, he will definitely not spare Yue Gonglun.
Compared with Xu Gongyi, even if he knew that Yue Gonglun had committed a foolish thing, even if he knew that he shouldn't ask for him, he still opened his mouth to Zhang Haomin when he thought about his past feelings.
Maybe as the sect master of the Shenghua Sect, he has to consider the overall situation in everything, and he can't mix too many personal feelings, so he seems too ruthless to do things.
"Senior Brother Xie Li. ”
"Don't be so polite, this is what a senior brother should do. ”
Li Gongzheng sat up straight, looked at Zhang Haomin with interest, and could see from his eyes that he was satisfied with Zhang Haomin, and then said with his fingers crossed.
"Little junior brother, let me ask you, are you interested in doing some things in the sect?"
"Isn't it okay to be in the inner courtyard if you are engaged in the sect?"
"It's not a matter of time or time, you are Uncle Shi's apprentice, you are our little junior brother, this is an indisputable fact. ”
"But I haven't held a formal apprenticeship ceremony yet, so I'm afraid something is wrong. ”
