What's the secret of this half-cut ruler?

Holding this fragment of the magic weapon obtained from Mao Kan, the disciple of the Deng Immortal, Jiang Feng looked at it for a long time, and even repeatedly infiltrated a trace of spiritual power into it, but he failed to penetrate the secrets, there were few apprentices and Yingge as companions, only Taihua was alone, but it was quite lonely, and no one was involved with him.

"Just inexplicably familiar?"

"Yes, déjà vu. But I can't tell, I'm afraid I have to find the other half to know. Taihua said, "I think it may have something to do with my background." ”

"If you go back up, isn't your original ancestor a member of those ancestors in Great Wilderness Town, 'and the snake'?" Jiang Feng remembered all kinds of impressions in the cave of Fuyuan Town, this matter involved many secrets buried deep in his heart, which was also the reason why Jiang Feng was reluctant to share this magic weapon fragment with the elders to study.

"However, they don't recognize you as orthodox, and the doppelganger on Lin Dong, the first head of the family, is not the 'Hesnake' himself from the time when the 'Snake' left, it can only be a doppelganger who has attained enlightenment. As for you, most of them are also derived from doppelgangers, and even if you peek through it, it doesn't mean much, right?"

In fact, regarding the origin of the Black Snake Spirit, and even the mystery of his own life experience, since he escaped from the Great Wilderness Town, Jiang Feng has had little interest, even if he finds out, it will not be of much help to his current predicament and the predicament of the Asa Mountain Sect, and even the trip to the "Begonia Sanren Mansion" that may involve the secret of death of the head of the ninth generation, he is not in a hurry to promote exploration.

After all, no matter what the past, no matter what the reason, it has contributed to the fact that he has always been unknown and inconspicuous in the door, and taking over as the tenth generation of the head is not so important to himself who is now in this position.

"I feel that my encounter with you is not accidental. Taihua saw Jiang Feng's intentions, "If it weren't for the awakening of those ancestors, I would have forgotten that I had even been there, and for this reason, I also regained some of my memories, I once remembered that before I met you, I had wandered somewhere in the Asa Mountain Sect, and when you used the ritual to summon the clone of the Black Snake Spirit, I happened to be locked by the power of the ritual because of the closest, and forcibly fused with you." ”

"In other words, I should have been given a imprisoned Black Snake Spirit clone, not the free you?"

"Yes, I think so. ”

"In other words, why are you in a state of freedom?"

"That's what I want to figure out, and that's the key to my background. This ruler should be an opportunity, and of course, I have another way to do it, which is to collect the clones of the other Black Snake Spirits in your door. ”

"It can't be. ”

Jiang Feng subconsciously objected, but immediately remembered Shen Junmao's example, stripping the spirit of the black snake did not make him die, but regained his vitality, of course, it was at the special moment when the spirit of the black snake was about to dissipate his vitality according to the rules, but at the moment, several elders in the door were not in this special state.

"Even if you agree, there is nothing I can do, the sturdy Black Snake Spirit clone is not something I can forcibly peel off. Taihua was suspended in the air, slowly swimming, "Devouring the Evil Spirit is also a good method. If the spirit of the Mohai Tree can be absorbed by me, I think that with my strength, I may be able to retrieve more memories and help you more. This point, I happened to have it when I absorbed the evil spirit in Bai Ruoxi's body. ”

"The Mohai Tree may still be able to ponder, but Bai Ruoxi's fierce spirit was planted by Qin Jiuzhen. Taihua's thought made Jiang Feng gasp, at the beginning, under the intervention of Qiu Nanjia, Mo Haishu agreed with himself on a two-year "peace" period, but now, do you want to calculate him? As for Qin Jiuzhen, Bai Shiduo let himself seek revenge, and now Taihua, do you want to encourage me to hit a stone with an egg? This is not good, even if I am promoted to the prefecture level, I am not arrogant to that extent.

"So, you need to ascend as soon as possible, give up all the chores here as much as possible, and retreat with peace of mind is the king. If I can borrow your strength to improve and go further, it will be a good thing for you. ”

"The stronger you are, the more powerful you are at exploiting me?"

"By nature, I can't resist the law of possession of the spirit of the black snake. But you and I are one, and if we are stronger together, isn't that a good thing?"

It makes a lot of sense, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like I'm carrying you on my back and going to the avenue together. Jiang Feng couldn't help but retort in his heart, when it came to cultivation, he really didn't want to sit in the cave mansion.

"You should know that my black gold gourd method is not a product of combat cultivation, although the qualification was forcibly improved by Qin Jiuzhen in order to facilitate Jiang Kegui's control of the Tower of Eternity, but it is still inferior. Sitting in the cave, over the years, I'm afraid it won't improve a little. What's more, the situation of this shallow mountain sect does not allow me to stop and rest at all, even if everything goes well, it will be at least next year before it can support the consumption of materials for my cultivation. ”

"Then let's follow the Baishui River to find it first, maybe I can get the other half of the ring ruler, and I can also retrieve some memories. Taihua said, "I have a hunch that as long as I get some memories back, maybe it will be of great help to you." ”

"Do I have to prepare a lot of high-level demon beast eggs first?"

"Of course. However, I forgot to remind you that you can actually bake it before eating. ”

"Don't say it sooner!" Jiang Feng pursed his lips and took the spirit of the black snake into his arm, he believed in Taihua's intuition, but the easiest way to improve it right now was to find the other half of the ring ruler. It's just that there are many tributaries of the Baishui River, and if there is no target to find it, it will be a lot of work.

Or it is also a feasible idea to look around Donghu County first. Fortunately, in addition to the source, most of the Baishui River is within the scope of the Jincheng League, and now that it has joined the alliance, it is convenient to find it, but it just needs a good excuse.

............

"Elder Liu, after joining the Yellow Dragon Sect, he can naturally walk freely within the Jincheng Alliance. ”

Along the way, Zuo Zichan explained a lot of the rules in the Jincheng League for Liu Canran, including the problem of cultivating the cave mansion that Liu Canran was most worried about, which made Liu Canran feel a lot more at ease, and secretly sighed that he joined the Huanglong faction, which was a good move.

After gathering and strangling five batches of ghosts in a row, a group of three people finally arrived at a deep cave that went downward, where the ghost qi was already faint, but judging from the dissolution of the surrounding stone walls, the ghost qi seemed to have just dissipated.

"Someone has been here. Savoring the breath that was about to dissipate in the air, Zuo Zicicada made a judgment based on this, "But it's not the people who are with us." ”

It was Feng Jiming's liar, this fang's breath, of course Liu Canran would not admit his mistake, but he didn't say it, that would expose the secret of his previous trip with Feng Jiming, and then cause more topics, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "It's not Qiu Daocheng, who else could it be?" During the conversation, he noticed that in the cave below, a square bronze seal reflected a ghostly light, and he concluded that this should be the ultimate goal of this trip, so he took the opportunity to suggest, " If it weren't for them, would we need to wait here, work together, make steady progress, and get more benefits?"

"It doesn't have to be that way. Speaking of benefits, as far as I am concerned, this trip to meet Liu Daoyou has been full of gains. Zuo Zician smiled and said, "There is a question, Elder Liu can think about it, this ghost cave is located in the hinterland of the Red Dragon Gate, why didn't they explore it themselves, but instead Qiu Daocheng came forward and invited me and other foreign sect monks to explore first?"

"This ......" Liu Canran, who doesn't know why Qiu Daocheng and Zuo Zician cooperated, naturally has no way to judge.

"There's cause and effect here that they don't want to get involved. Zuo Zician said, "If I'm not mistaken, Qiu Daocheng should still be resting halfway, waiting for reinforcements from the Red Dragon Gate." And you have already sensed the change of the moment, and they will come together soon. ”

Liu Canran looked puzzled, he understood what he said, but he didn't actually understand anything.

"There's no need to be ashamed, if it weren't for the guidance of a master, I wouldn't have realized this. Zuo Zician smiled and patted Liu Canran on the shoulder, "So, what we have to do now is to take what we can take, take what we can, and then leave as soon as possible, otherwise, wouldn't it be sad to make wedding dresses for others in vain? Fortunately, someone came first, and we don't need to worry about this cause and effect." ”

Liu Canran finally understood this time.

Contaminated with cause and effect, he also heard Master Tai Ronghao say that he could not understand this point if he did not reach the high level of the prefecture, which also relieved the last hidden worry in his heart, that is, between Zuo Zician and Qiu Daocheng, it was just a simple cooperative relationship, and there was no friendship, so for him, there was no need to worry about Zuo Zician taking care of Qiu Daocheng's face in the future, and it would be unfavorable to himself.

As for Feng Jiming, who is contaminated with cause and effect, it can only be said that he deserves it.

Thinking of this, Liu Cangran glanced at the bronze cover plate in the cave, and was about to approach, but was stopped by Zuo Zicicada waving his hand, but saw that Song Weiduo's body suddenly surrounded by black gas, and he plunged into the cave, but when he saw that around the bronze cover, countless dead air suddenly gushed out, wrapping Song Weiduo whole, but the gray breath that was originally harmful to the living made Song Weiduo very comfortable, like a fish entering the sea, absorbing all the dead gas, and then, Zuo Zicicada played a light curtain charm, illuminating all the caves, and only said "go" , took a step ahead of Liu Canran and jumped into the cave.

This half-demon who came back from the dead, really has extraordinary skills, and Liu Canran, who has already learned the origin of Song Weiduo, can't help but sigh secretly that Zuo Zicicada is thoughtful, and everything on this trip is prepared for this trip to the ghost cave.

In contrast, the junior sister Mu Qianxue, although she is a woman, her delicacy is far less than that of this Zuo Zicicada. He sighed lightly in his heart, and the secret path was only a thought, and now, when they meet again, he is already a member of the foreign sect.

............

Asa Yama Sect, Luo Chuan, head of the inner house.

"It's already decided?"

From the law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao, after learning that Ding Baozhen was going to leave the sect and join a small chamber of commerce, Jiang Feng was very shocked in his heart, and had to give up all his chores and summon Ding Baozhen alone, who was supposed to leave Luochuan in the afternoon and go to the southbound trade route to continue his unfinished work.

"Yes, thank you for taking care of you for so many years. Ding has already thought about it, since the avenue is hopeless, it is better to do something he likes while he still has more in the rest of his life. ”

"It's not a long time, it's only three years. Jiang Feng sighed lightly, "Originally, I was thinking that you would serve as a full-time elder in the Changning Chamber of Commerce after completing the business route. It's just that in terms of your level of familiarity with the affairs of the Advice Division, there is no one in the sect who can match it. ”

"The boss praised it. Ding Baozhen bowed his head and saluted, he seemed to be touched when he heard about the position of the Changning Chamber of Commerce, but his expression was immediately relieved, "In this regard, Yue Xishan was also good back then, but his mind was not here." ”

Yuexi Mountain?

Jiang Feng almost forgot the name, and then remembered those unpleasant past, it seems that this departed seed was planted on the day Yue Xishan died, but as far as the Qianshan Sect is concerned, Ding Baozhen still has feelings, and it is good to treat him well, so when there is no suitable opportunity, he can still do his best and fulfill his duties.

"If it were him, would you stay?"

"Probably not, or even early. Ding Baozhen sighed lightly, "Although I have some personal friendship with him, Yue Xishan should be damned." I'm going to bring it up, but I don't mean to blame you. If it were me, I would have handled it the same way as you. ”

"To tell you the truth, does the departure have anything to do with the spiritual land or the Yulu?" Ding Baozhen's departure can be regarded as the first Xuan-level monk to be lost since he joined the sect, Yue Xishan was killed, and Zhao Yunlei, who failed to stay, was not a member of the Qianshan Sect, so Jiang Feng wanted to find a deeper reason, otherwise, if the hidden danger was not removed, it was very likely that others would leave one after another.

"Yes, but not exactly. Ding Baozhen's eyes brightened, "Most of the monks in the sect have average physiognomy and qualifications, and if they want to go further, they need more resources, but the situation in the sect is obviously not able to satisfy everyone, of course, this is not your fault, you have done a good job, but compared to the other sects around, it is still a little worse." ”

"The full-time elder of the Changning Chamber of Commerce, isn't it good? Although they didn't say it, I think that in this position, they will add some extra salaries to you, although there is no agreement between the two parties on this matter, but it must be tacitly agreed. Ding Baozhen is talking about a common phenomenon, but for Ding Baozhen personally, Jiang Feng asked himself what he planned for him, which was enough to meet his needs.

"I'm different, I'm a special case. Ding Baozhen's lips twitched, "I actually met someone I could talk to." I'm just talking about the state of other people in the sect, for example, as far as I know, most of the positions below the rank of deacon, the salary they provide, it is difficult to meet the needs of peace of mind, in addition, as far as I can see, there are two reasons, one is the lack of exercises, and the other is the channel for ascension. ”

"Although there are two kinds of exercises provided in the sect, they cannot meet the needs of everyone, after all, everyone's situation and suitable exercises are different. ”

As for the upward channel, the so-called capable go up, and the mediocre go down, this is a recognized law. ”

has decided to leave, Ding Baozhen finally no longer scruples, " For example, Zheng Luda, the elder of the general affairs, in fact, except for the small pieces of spiritual veins and mines that operate the sect, has not made much achievements in expanding the financial resources in the sect; for example, Wang Yi, the deacon of the Rolling Shutter Division, does not have much sense of existence except for the head of the sect, and when the people close to the head of the sect are in danger, he has never seen the figure of the Rolling Shutter Division, but instead needs the Spiegel Division and the War Division to transfer people; Zhao Wenjun, the elder of the instrument rune, wasted a lot of resources in the workshop he was in charge of, and in the end he only made a slight profit, although he did not confirm it, but I heard that he also had a lot of private pockets; and the post of the town guard of Beimu County, although it is not too inappropriate for the head of the sect to appoint Mrs. Su, I have heard recently, all the things he handles are from the hands of Xu Xiaofei, the deputy town guard. ”

"Hey-" Ding Baozhen sighed, "I think many things are obvious to all, if a piece of wood on the foundation rots and is not replaced in time, sooner or later this pavilion will be destroyed." ”

"Xu Xiaofei was originally appointed as the deacon of the Suggestion Division in your place, just waiting for the completion of the southbound trade route. Jiang Feng smiled, and couldn't help but make Ding Baozhen stunned, "What you said is not unreasonable, for these positions, it is true that talented and virtuous people should be allowed to fill them." But I'm also worried about whether people who don't have enough prestige will be able to convince the public if they are rashly transferred to this position, which is why I want to hold the martial arts again this winter. ”

"When you succeed to the helm, your prestige is not enough. Isn't it also overcoming obstacles and finally convincing?"

A high hat made Jiang Feng's heart flutter.

However, he immediately came to his senses, knowing that there was nothing to be proud of, and he knew his own suffering, if it weren't for his cultivation all the way to the prefecture level, and he introduced a lot of ways to make money, plus he was willing to feed the sect before he gained profits, this position would not be stable.

"Who are you going to take with you?"

Ding Baozhen has made up his mind, whether it is his own feelings or Wang Xiandao's personal inquiry, it is the case, so Jiang Feng also extinguished his intention to continue persuasion, who he takes away and when he leaves, is the point.
