Chapter 118: Painstaking
Continuing that breath of arrogance, Ding Zhengyi led the four of them to embark on a winding mountain road under the guidance of the Ink Feather Eagle, and then they waded through several crystal clear streams, wandering in this lofty mountain range.
It took half an hour to walk around this ownerless spirit vein for dozens of miles.
The five of them walked and stopped, Ding Zhengyi constantly adjusted the direction of progress according to the terrain, and at the same time he deliberately concealed the remaining traces.
Before dark, the group went through several twists and turns, and finally accompanied by the roaring sound of the river in the canyon, they smoothly circled to the northeast of the spiritual vein, and at this time they were standing on the cliff at the entrance of the hidden spiritual land.
"Do you know why I strictly conceal my movements, and I keep the whole process in order, and I am suspicious all the way?"
Arriving at the destination, Ding Zhengyi's tense nerves were temporarily relaxed, he first carefully sorted out the various coping strategies on the road, and found that there was nothing wrong, then he asked casually.
"Is it because you are afraid that the cultivators will come to seek revenge?"
Several people suddenly heard Ding Zhengyi's question without warning, and they were all at a loss, and finally Ding Zhengping replied hesitantly.
However, at this time, the disdainful expression on his face was clear at a glance, and it was obvious that he was also a little scoffing at this fantastical answer.
Even if they stay at home, several people have heard of the unique character of the casual cultivators, and the best thing to say is that they know how to judge the situation, but in fact, they are just selfish and bullying.
The trembling living environment has taught them to be alone, and when they encounter a crisis, they only want to get out of it to protect themselves, and they will not care about themselves for the sake of limited friendships, which is simply rare in the casual cultivation circle.
"The ultimate goal of our trip is here, and even the patriarch was seriously wounded in order to find out what was going on here. ”
Seeing that the four of them looked at each other, and then looked at themselves inexplicably, Ding Zhengyi didn't sell it anymore, and said directly and honestly.
The question he seemed to be talking to himself just now was just a foreshadowing for what he was going to say next, and he didn't really expect to get the right answer.
"What?"
Hearing Ding Zhengyi's solemn words, the shock of several people was beyond words, and Ding Zhengping couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"The next place we are going to is the biggest secret and heritage of the family, which is not only related to the development and growth of the family, but also involves the life and death of the family. ”
Ignoring the incredulous looks of a few people, Ding Zhengyi also put away his usual harmonious whispers at this time, and continued to warn with a serious face.
And as he spoke, he also burst out all the momentum he was hiding, and even the few wisps of evil qi that Ding Zhengyi had just given birth to because of the killing of the monk were also mixed in, and the two blended, and it seemed to show a flickering and flickering sense of shock.
"Isn't it inappropriate for us to know this kind of major secret related to the development of the family, let us low-level clansmen?"
Ding Zhengyi's sudden change caught everyone off guard, but this is enough to show that he attaches much more importance to this matter than before, and several people are more or less nervous because of this, and after being silent for a long time, Ding Zhengfeng asked tentatively.
"The development of the family is inseparable from everyone's dedication and efforts, otherwise under the nest, there will be no eggs, and you don't have to be arrogant, although the current strength is insufficient due to limited accumulation, but as an excellent descendant affirmed by the patriarch, you will inevitably have a place in the family in the future, but while enjoying the resources of the clan, you must also bear the corresponding obligations. ”
Seeing the expressions of a few people with some sincere fear, Ding Zhengyi also decided to stop, he gradually restrained the breath that he deliberately released just now, and then explained earnestly.
After all, the four people in front of him were all outstanding ones selected by Ding Zhengyi from among the descendants of the family.
Even if they have their own strengths and weaknesses in character, or calm and moderate, or free from restlessness, they are absolutely not lacking in their minds, and their skin does not exist.
Fast horses don't need to be whipped, drums don't need heavy hammers, just let a few people realize the importance of this matter, if too much pressure is exerted, it will only make them become timid, and they will suffer from gains and losses.
After explaining all this, Ding Zhengyi did not immediately arrange to climb the cliff, but stood quietly in place, looking at the people in front of him with an indifferent face.
After half a cup of tea, Ding Zhengfeng and others, whose expressions kept changing, eased up.
The abrupt and huge amount of information alternated the shock, doubt, and other expressions on their faces, but these were all fixed in perseverance.
This kind of mental journey is self-evident for refining people's spiritual aspects, and in a short period of time, the effect of several people's mental progress is obvious.
"Well, before we really grow up, we will actually be taken care of by the family elders, and we don't have to worry about risking our lives for the time being, and the most important task at the moment is to cultivate with peace of mind. ”
Seeing that several people were impassioned, with expressions ready to go to the soup for the family at any time, Ding Zhengyi nodded lightly, and then he said with relief.
Ding Zhengyi can be said to be self-taught, and a large number of reading classics has made him understand that pure agitation and encouragement are not long-term solutions.
Knowing etiquette and etiquette with sufficient food and clothing, and lofty ideals and beliefs all need to be built on a material foundation.
If the clan could not provide the clansmen with a good cultivation environment and relatively abundant basic cultivation resources, then how could most of the clansmen do their best to fight for the clan.
The two are inherently complementary and indispensable, and if one is weak for a long time, it will not alienate the people, but their enterprising passion will certainly be sluggish.
"Wait for the sixteenth brother, you will take the lead first, guard at the entrance of a cave dozens of zhang away, and be ready to receive several other people. ”
Seeing that the sky was already slightly dark, Ding Zhengyi had no intention of continuing to say more, he first signaled to Ding Zhengping slightly, and then picked up a bundle of ropes that he had just put away in the temporary camp, held one end, and threw the rest directly into the cliff.
Regarding Ding Zhengyi's arrangement, of course, Ding Zhengping implemented it unreservedly, and he nodded his head to show that he understood.
Without asking if there was any danger below, and without hesitating for half a minute, Ding Zhengping directly weighed the shield magic weapon in his hand slightly, and then carried it behind him, and then he grabbed the rope and disappeared on the top of the yaya in a puff of smoke.
Half of the incense stick, the four of them were under the command of Ding Zhengyi.
It wasn't until Ding Zhengyi sensed that there was no extra weight on the rope, so he quickly rolled up the rope, took out the armor-piercing cone, and then carefully cleaned up the small traces left around, and then walked out of a distance of more than ten zhang to the side, and finally jumped according to his first climbing experience.
"Don't worry, I've just done a thorough investigation of the inside of this cave today, and I haven't found any danger. ”
When he first came to the entrance of the cave, Ding Zhengyi saw that the four people were looking at the black cave with a wary face at this time, and they all looked like they were facing a great enemy.
"But anything is possible, all kinds of coincidences are everywhere, and you should not take it lightly, and caution is still indispensable. ”
As soon as his words fell, Ding Zhengyi saw that several people were obviously relieved, and then they seemed to be a little lazy in an instant, and their paralyzing emotions were even more revealed, so he hurriedly added.
At present, team building is still in the early stage of running-in, including Ding Zhengyi himself, is still a little immature, and the methods and methods learned from the classics need to be transformed into practical practical applications, and he still needs to continue to explore.
Therefore, Ding Zhengyi can only painstakingly figure out his various words and deeds to ensure that he can do just right while influencing several other people, and will not overdo it.
Everything is in the stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones, and there is no harm in being cautious.
Then Ding Zhengyi explained a few more words about the general situation in the cave, and then he took out the flint and led everyone to walk slowly inside.
