Various variations
Shangguan Yi temporarily stayed in the Great Guangming Temple, and there was still a period of time before Du Dabi, so he could practice his martial arts here and enhance his strength.
When he came back with the little monk, he actually brought a lot of things, in addition to his own luggage, there were also gifts for acquaintances, such as gifts for Huichen and Huitong, which are Kyoto's specialties that are prepared more carefully. For the kitchen of the Great Light Temple, the master's court recipes or relatively high-quality knives, etc., the little monk also prepared some gifts for his brothers, familiar teachers and nephews, which are not precious, but they are all attentive. After all, the Great Light Temple actually does not lack these things, what matters is only the mind.
Obviously, in a place like Daguang Temple, which is relatively far away from the outside world, people's hearts are still very simple, and they are very happy to see Shangguan Yi and the little monk go out to practice and not forget to bring gifts back to them, and they don't care too much about whether the gift itself is valuable, and whether it is more valuable than others. Especially those cooks, seeing Shangguan Yi thinking about them like this, they were quite excited, and their motivation to cook was much higher.
It's not that they haven't seen the world, but the ass decides the head, they are just a cook in the Great Light Temple, even if they can practice some of the not so advanced martial arts of the Great Light Temple and practice a famous hall, they are also supernumerary members of the Great Light Temple, and they are far from entering the core, unless they practice to the Four Heavens without a teacher, it will be better, but this kind of thing does not dare to dream of such a thing. But what about Shangguan Yi, he is the guest of Huichen, the abbot of Daguang Temple, although no one knows his origin, but looking at Huichen's attitude, the attitude of the temple knows that this person is not simple. Those who can enjoy this kind of treatment are all proud sons of heaven such as Fu Changan, Mo Qianliu, Jun Yishen, and Yue Zhengdao, and they are proper big people. And if such a big man is willing to remember their little favor and reciprocate, that is a very happy thing.
It's sad to say, but that's the way it is, true equality can never exist.
However, although Shangguan Yi didn't have any other thoughts in doing this, he simply wanted to please the cooking bosses, but his flattery did come in handy.
In the next month or two, Shangguan Yi was crazy to cultivate under the guidance of various masters of the Great Guangming Temple, and the high-intensity cultivation was naturally accompanied by a huge amount of consumption, so that the Great Guangming Temple had to send a procurement team in advance to replenish the supply, and the culprit Shangguan Yi himself couldn't stand it, and consciously donated 20,000 taels of silver as a meal fee, hard work, etc., which was also quite speechless.
The so-called crazy cultivation, in addition to cultivating martial arts by himself under the guidance of seniors like Huichen Huitong, is to challenge the triple heaven master of the Great Light Temple with no life, and it mainly refers to the latter one.
Are there many masters in the Great Light Temple?
The answer is naturally undoubted: Many, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is not said casually, otherwise how could those people in the Demon Dao be discouraged, even if they dare to attack the Great Guangming Temple, they are only engaged in some unsightly small means, and they dare not go against it head-on?
Among these masters, most of them are at the second and triple heaven levels, and Shangguan Yi is challenging the triple heaven level, and with his original strength, he did not carry out a double outbreak. It is precisely for this reason that he loses more and wins less, and he has been defeated repeatedly, but he has been defeated again and again.
It's not that he's too weak, it's that his opponents are too strong. The disciples sent out by the famous and decent families may not have outstanding talents, but their average level is definitely higher than the average level in this realm, because there are various resources and the guidance of famous teachers, they are much better than the people who come out of the wild road, and the Great Light Temple is the best among this kind of people.
In the case that Shangguan Yi does not show his real skills, it is naturally not easy to win, after all, the distance between this step is sometimes unimaginable, and the monks of the Great Guangming Temple have their own unique skills, Shangguan Yi must rely on the accumulation of experience if he wants to fight and win, that is, to fight with him more, find his flaws and then target him, and then defeat him.
This tactic is based on many battles, so Shangguan Yi fights very crazy every day, many times with one person, and many times with multiple people, until he is defeated, and then replaces, just like the legendary battle maniac, if it is not for the clarity and firmness in his eyes, the great monks will wonder if this guy has gone mad. But even if he knew that he was still sensible, the fiery battle intent in his eyes was enough to make the great monks frightened and retreat.
There is always a difference between a genius and a madman, the successful are geniuses and the losers are crazy.
There is a natural reason why Shangguan Yi will transform himself into a battle madman, in the process of cultivating martial arts, he found that the fusion speed in his dantian has accelerated a little, and then in the martial arts discussion with the little monk, this feeling of speeding up is more obvious, and then Shangguan Yi guessed whether the more fierce the battle, the more he can stimulate his potential and speed up the fusion. This guess was quickly proven correct by him, and the next thing was easy to do, as long as he challenged frantically in the Great Light Temple, as long as he held it, then it would be no problem, but he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on.
Those who do not have great perseverance cannot succeed.
Guan Yi is very clear about this, so he is also trying to persevere. He is also a human being, not a tireless, painful monster in the imagination of others, every challenge will leave him a little trauma, but he endures, relying on a lot of food and injury medicine to recover, he is really seriously injured before he will rest for a short time, in order to just try to promote the progress of fusion during this time in the Great Light Temple, after all, after leaving the Great Light Temple, the situation is not as optimistic as it is now, full of deceitful rivers and lakes, without full strength may overturn, with full strength, where are so many masters who can feed themselves?
Heaven rewards hard work, his efforts are seen by everyone, and what he has gained is also quite rich, although the progress of fusion has not increased much, but his strength has become a lot stronger, starting from the person who has just broken through the Triple Heaven Initial Realm, all the way to the peak of the Triple Heaven Middle Realm, and insisting on Lily with the full strength of the great master in the late stage of the Triple Heaven, it is enough to shock the world to achieve such a result with the strength of the Triple Heaven Peak.
From the peak of the Triple Heaven Middle Realm to the late Triple Heaven Realm, this is a considerable threshold, Shangguan Yi has been stuck for a long time and has not been able to break through, if he wants to defeat the master of the late Triple Heaven Realm, under the suppression of cultivation close to the entire Great Realm, it is almost impossible, not to mention that Shangguan Yi has not yet possessed the advanced changes in the martial arts of the martial arts, if the other party stays his hand, it may be possible to go further, but if he stays, this kind of challenge is meaningless.
After Shangguan Yi tried his best, but was still easily defeated by the man at the lily time, he stopped this challenge, because there was no hope of winning, and if he had a double explosion, he might be able to win, but that was not the result that Shangguan Yi needed.
He sat in the same position he had sitting: on the platform of enlightenment, and told the cooks in the kitchen in advance that he didn't have to cook his meal, because he didn't necessarily wake up when, maybe the next second or never again, it was possible.
What he wants to carry out is Bigu cultivation, let himself enter the state of hearing the Tao, understand the changes in his body, and find the direction of breakthrough. The last time he entered the state of hearing the Tao was when he duel with Li Qingchen, and with that momentary epiphany, he created a new sword style to repel a strong enemy, and this time he was still standing at the threshold of crisis, so he repeated his old tricks and carried out a wave of metaphysics, hoping to find a breakthrough.
......
When Shangguan Yi arrived at the Great Guangming Temple, in another place, Murong Jue also took Murong Xiaojing and Murong Weikite to an inconspicuous house in a small city near Fengdu. Since falling out with the Murong family that day, I used the token given by my senior brother: a sword and a piece of paper to find a helper, and the effect was also very good, the other party prepared for a few days, and arrived in time on the day of the other party's wedding, and rescued herself and Murong Xiaojing, as well as her sister Murong Weiyuan. As for killing the Murong family, they also brought it upon themselves, using a five-year-old girl as a hostage to threaten Murong Xiaojing, which is also something that people can do. Although the other party plundered the treasures of the Murong family, Murong Jue still had some thin sense of honor of the Murong family, and wanted to stop it, but he did not have this qualification and position.
When he went to find a helper to take Murong Xiaojing away, he had already betrayed the Murong family, although he didn't think so himself, but the Murong family had completely regarded him as an enemy who didn't share the sky.
Although Murong Jue didn't feel very comfortable, he could accept it, this was a sin he had committed, and he deserved to bear it. Since he was already wrong, there was no need to do superfluous things at that time, because others would think that he was pretending to be a good person, and no one would think that he was forced to be helpless because of this, so they would forgive him, including Murong Xiaojing.
Of course, the most critical reason is that the other party said: There is no free lunch in the world, and to help you like this, there will be many masters, so the price is also very expensive. There are some things in the Murong family that we need, so we will take them as part of the reward, and the rest will be paid by you, as for what, it depends on what our leader wants.
Murong had no choice, his reply was: As long as you can guarantee that Murong Xiaojing is safe and sound and has a peaceful rest of his life, you can do whatever you want.
The other party smiled and continued to ask: What if it is your loyalty?
Murong replied without hesitation: Yes.
Then the deal was reached, and the masters sent by the other party were indeed as he said, completely covering the field, and the ones who showed up first were already very strong, enough to protect them from leaving, but it was still reluctant to deal with the entire Murong family, but then the masters who drilled out were enough to fight the Murong family had no power to resist, after all, the Murong family did not have the masters of the Four Heavens, otherwise it would not have declined to this point. The other party injured the people of the Murong family but did not kill, but just plundered some treasures and left with himself and the Murong Xiaojing sisters, and then he passed out because of his injuries. When he woke up again, he took the three of them to a safe place, let him recuperate there for the time being, and then take them to Fengdu to meet their leader when the injuries were almost gone.
The road ahead is long, Murong Jue doesn't know what will happen, he no longer has the gentle and upright appearance of the past, his face is full of perseverance and reliability, but he has no bottom in his heart, but since he took Murong Xiaojing out of the Murong family, he has to protect them and prevent them from being wronged, which is his responsibility.
Maybe it was because they received the payment? The other party prepared a lot of things for the three of them, winter clothes and brocade were all available on the stove, and the carriage was also very warm, it looked like the children of a rich family had come out to play, but in fact, only they knew how depressed they were.
Even Murong Xiaojing, who has always been pampered, did not ask for anything willfully, and coaxed her younger sister Murong Weikite very gently, because she was still young, her younger sister was not very sensible and needed to be coaxed.
In fact, she has always been gentle and knowledgeable, otherwise she would not be so appreciated, if it weren't for the fact that her sister would not end up like her, she probably wouldn't have thought of various methods, such as accepting the marriage, and after marrying, she would use the power of her husband's family to take away her sister, but what happened after that is still unpredictable, maybe it will be worse, it is better to believe in Murong once. Although I'm wandering now, at the very least, I won't encounter that kind of bad thing, shouldn't I?
The two of them were nervous, the person who took them over was actually a little uneasy, he was not the leader who made a deal with Murong Jue, he was just a pawn, the three people in the carriage had the highest martial arts or the five-year-old child, who had just entered the martial arts, and the other two had not practiced martial arts, was the thickness of this winter coat appropriate?
After all, his martial arts are still okay, he is not afraid of the cold, and he doesn't dare to ask them if he doesn't know this kind of thing, if these three distinguished guests who are said to be the bosses have an accident on the way, he can't afford it.
But fortunately, nothing happened along the way, and they were delivered to their destination smoothly, and the boss was waiting for them inside.
Taking a slight breath, Murong Jue calmly knocked on the door, and soon got a response, an attendant opened the door, and after being slightly stunned, invited the three of them in.
As for why he was stunned, it was because he had learned that a son and two young ladies of the Murong family would come over, but now it looks more like a family of three.
Murong Jue went in first, and Murong Xiaojing led Murong Weikite to follow behind, it actually looked like a family of three, but it wasn't.
"The master is already in the main hall, you can go over, as for these two, we have prepared the room, hot water and food, you can let them rest first. The attendant said very respectfully, but what he said made Murong Jue and Murong Xiaojing vigilant, I am afraid that he didn't want to use the second daughter to threaten Murong Jue with something, right?
"The little woman actually admires your master, she was rescued by him this time, she should thank her in person, I don't know if you can go over together?" Murong Xiaojing asked him, he didn't want to be Murong Jie's weakness.
"Well, that's fine. The attendant agreed, and led the three of them to the main hall. This is also a situation that the leader has long anticipated, so it is also easy to deal with.
When the four of them arrived at the main hall, they found that the door was not closed, and a figure of a child about fourteen years old was standing with his back to them, with a table in front of him, and he was drawing something with a pen in his hand, as if he sensed someone approaching, put away the pen, and turned around.
"You're here. The crisp and melodious voice was neither sad nor joyful, and there was nothing to say about the three of them coming to meet together.
This person is naturally Fu Changan, but she is now wearing a mask, the surface is a starry night, and the deep starry night with those ink eyes seems to be able to capture people's hearts and souls. The mask is still half face, and the lower half of the face is delicate and easy to see, which makes people maddened, and I really want to remove the mask to see the whole picture.
"Thank you for your help......" Murong Jue said some polite words.
"No thanks, you have a relationship with him, I should have helped you originally, just put the account on his head, but some of the things of the Murong family can no longer be stored in the Murong family, I was going to find a chance to make trouble, take it away before the Demon Dao starts, it's not bad if you can give me this opportunity." Fu Changan shook his head, and said to him the truth of some things very sincerely, and did not deceive.
"I believe in you. Murong nodded decided, he had already guessed the identity of this person, since she said so, then there was a reason for her.
"But if this account is not recorded on his head, although you gave me an excuse to do this in advance, it is not enough to offset the cost of rescuing you, are you ready to repay?" Fu Changan was very direct.
"What I mean, I made it clear at the time. Murong Jue was also very direct, but his subtext was not to let Murong Xiaojing know.
"You can't hide it from her. Fu Changan ripped off the fig leaf of his self-deception and said very hurtfully.
"So?" Murong Jue sighed and asked what this person meant.
"I want your loyalty, and even need you to do something dangerous, which is very important to me, so I will pay you the rest of your remuneration and do my best to support you, and I will take care of the lives of Murong Xiaojing and Murong Weiyuan, according to the treatment in the Murong family, it is not bad, in the future, you will complete that thing, the situation will definitely not be bad, I am willing to leave and stay with you, but if it is a rebellion before it is completed, I will not show mercy." Fu Changan didn't hide it, and said it very clearly, including using Murong Xiaojing as Murong Jue's handle to grasp it, and it was the same thing that made people angry.
"Good. Murong nodded decided.
"You ......" Murong Xiaojing opened her mouth to persuade him, but it was too hasty to agree without asking the other party what was going on, right? What if she died like this? She would also be uneasy.
"It's okay, the conditions she gave are already very good, men always have to make contributions, I will take you to escape from the Murong family, naturally I want to give you a stable life, she is willing to give, then it is nothing for me to work hard for her, it is better than those old things in the Murong family." Besides, she won't choose someone to do anything that is very important to her, since she thinks I can do it, then I will do it, wait for me, wait for me to come back and take you away. Murong Jue gave her a very warm and firm look, and did not hesitate to retreat at all.
"No wonder ......" Fu Changan muttered in a low voice, his eyes slightly out of focus, and then he asked someone to take them back to the room to rest, and he continued the unfinished painting.
