Chapter 130: Care
Jiang Ying shifted his gaze and saw that the person who came turned out to be a returnee from Qingshan Peak.
She hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Return to the seniors." β
The Hui Pu Taoist raised his hand: "There is no need to be so polite in private." β
Jiang Ying raised his eyes and glanced at him with some confusion.
How do you know each other the same?
Huipu Daoist probably saw her doubts, and smiled slightly: "Before I go out, guess who came to me and asked me to take care of you?"
When Jiang Ying heard this, he was surprised: "Who?"
The Taoist smiled, "You guess." β
Jiang Ying thought for a while: Could it be Senior Sister Bai?
But Senior Sister Bai has little contact with the outside world, so it doesn't seem to be her.
Could it be Yin San Zhenren?
Yin San Zhenren didn't dare to talk nonsense, the real person of Chishan Peak, it was not suitable for the two of them to get too close, and if they said it, it would be self-exposure.
Then she couldn't think of anyone.
"The disciple really doesn't know, and he still hopes that the Taoist will give you a hint or two. β
The Taoist looked at her twice, and then said, "It's Sanqing." β
Sanqing?
...... Sanqing real person??
Jiang Ying was a little stunned.
The Huipu Taoist raised his eyebrows: "Look at your expression, you really can't think of it." β
Jiang Ying shook his head: "I really don't know ......" and then said: "The disciple never thought that he could be cared for by Sanqing Zhenren, and he was honestly afraid." β
The Huipu Taoist tilted his head and looked at her carefully for a moment.
waited until Jiang Ying thought he had said the wrong thing, and then he spoke: "Sanqing said that you are a girl who is very good at talking and being a good person, and what she said is true." β
Jiang Ying bowed his head and said politely: "Sanqing is a real person." β
"Hahaha. The Huipu Daoist laughed three times and motioned for her to sit down, "Sit down, chat for a while, anyway, everyone at the post station is busy cleaning up and chatting, and those officers and soldiers have not stopped for the time being." β
Jiang Ying sat back.
The shopkeeper of the post station personally brought out a good pot of tea, respectfully poured a cup for each of them, and bent down to retreat.
Jiang Ying replaced the wine with tea and toasted a glass first.
"To be honest, I've seen a lot of young disciples of the same age and qualifications as you, and there are few people who pay as much attention to etiquette as you, and you look like you have received a special education. The Hui Pu Daoist took a sip of tea and said meaningfully.
Jiang Ying smiled: "My father and mother pay attention to etiquette, and I have indeed taught my disciples to be humble and polite since childhood. β
The Hui Pu Daoist nodded: "I heard Sanqing reveal again, you have an amazing martial arts?"
Jiang Ying shook his head: "Sanqing Zhenren has raised his disciples again." β
"Haha," the Huipu Daoist put down the teacup and looked into the distance, not intending to believe her humble words, "He said that you fought with Baiyun Peak Sword Cultivator three years ago, and he still remembers it vividly.
Although you didn't use swords much later, when you were studying swordsmanship in the Four Realms, he often saw it, and it was really amazing. β
He praised him like this, Jiang Ying didn't have any feelings, knowing that it was all Sanqing Zhenren who cared about it, otherwise how could the dignified Jindan Zhenren be so easily amazed by the little disciple's swordsmanship?
It was the other party who mentioned the four realms, which made her cautious, after all, I don't know if it was a temptation or if Sanqing Zhenren really revealed it.
She didn't answer for a moment.
The returner also gave her a strange look, thinking that she had acquiesced.
But looking at that expression, it was obviously "You praised politely, and I listened politely", and he thought to himself, is there nothing to say?
Talking to death?
The corners of his mouth stiffened, a little embarrassed.
It was Jiang Ying who finally replied with "real people praise falsely", which invisibly alleviated his embarrassment, and he raised his mouth and smiled again.
"By the way," he took another sip of tea, "the stone vine you used today is the desert stone vine in the Three Green and Four Realms?
Everyone knows that the three managers of Baicaomen love Lingzhi as much as their lives, and Sanqing is no exception, he is a person who can willingly guard Lingzhi for a lifetime.
It is simply unheard of for such a person to give a spiritual plant to a disciple who is not under his own disciple or under his own name to take away.
Jiang Ying saw that he recognized the stone vine, and knew that he really knew the four realms and the desert stone vine.
Then she naturally can't hide it, otherwise she will think that she is stealing, and it will be a big trouble.
"Don't hide it from the predecessors, this is a desert stone vine branch, not the body. Sanqing Zhenren is fond of spirit plants, and the disciples dare not take away his spirit plants. β
"Oh?" The Hui Pu Daoist was surprised, "His stone vines are all branched, and he still obeys your command?"
Jiang Ying had no choice but to say: "It's also fate, I have an inexplicable tacit understanding with these small stone vines, and Dabi has only achieved good results thanks to their assistance over the years."
Sanqing Zhenren is even more numerous, and when he learned of this, he handed over the branch to the disciple, saying that if there is nothing special, he can take the branch out. β
When the Huipu Taoist heard this, he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Is this so?"
He immediately nodded and said, "Now I know why Sanqing let you enter the Four Realms, and specially asked me to take care of you, which is indeed rare." β
Jiang Ying's polite sentence didn't say much.
Both were silent for a moment.
Until suddenly the east wind rose, blowing up the grass and sand all over the ground, and the internal force of the Hui Pudao people was released, and they were removed from the table.
"I want you to follow us into the mountains, what do you think?" he said in the wind.
Jiang Ying thought he had misheard: "What?"
The Huipu Daoist waited for the rumor to dissipate before repeating: "I, Ji Zhen, and Mingjian all plan to take you with me when we enter the mountain." β
Jiang Ying: ......
"Isn't this a disciple to be sent to death...... As I said earlier, the seventh and eighth layers of the Qi refining period entered the mountain without a trace, and the serious injury in the middle stage of foundation building returned.
She is a disciple of the early stage of the seventh layer, let her follow into the mountain??
Hui Pudao said: "From the performance of the county government, you are obviously quite anxious, this is what I need."
Coupled with Sanqing's evaluation of you, I don't think that a lonely person like him would praise others for no reason, so I think I can give it a try. β
Seeing that Jiang Ying still looked unacceptable, he said again: "Don't worry, the disciples who have entered the mountain, including you, I will protect you all of you."
And not only the three of us are Taoists, but there are also four Taoists who have built foundations. It's just that they are not too ostentatious in front of me and other old guys, but in fact, their strength is also extremely high, so you can rest assured. β
At this time, Jiang Ying asked tentatively: "What does the Taoist mean is that the disciple of the mountain is not only a disciple of this qi refining cultivator?"
Hui Pudao said: "The mountains in the south are so vast that it is really impossible for the three of us to search them all.
In addition, we learned from the governor that the possessed missing persons found in the county, and the corpses found by Orion, did not match the number of missing persons registered at the beginning, so we have every reason to suspect that there are other trapped civilians in the mountains, and they may not even be dead. β
"Why do Taoists think they are not dead?"
Hui Pudao: "The county has examined the bodies of the possessed people and asserted that all of them have died not long ago, what do you think?"
Jiang Ying immediately understood: the other party may have spared the lives of civilians and killed them until they needed to be used.
However, "According to what the Taoist said, the Taoist still wants to go his own way after entering the mountain?"
The returner glanced at her with a tentative meaning: "What do you think of this arrangement?"
"Naturally, it's not right. β
"Oh?" he smiled wider, "what's wrong?"
The disciple had previously thought that the other party was quite misleading and misleading.
If everyone is now in the mountain and still acts separately, wouldn't they be playing into the hands of the other party and providing convenience for the other party to break them one by one?
Besides, from the current point of view, the other party is indeed quite powerful.
Under the absolute strength, with all due respect to the disciples, no matter how quick and wise the disciples are, no matter how capable the other disciples are, it is impossible to easily break the strength gap between them. And once the disciples are captured by the other party, it may be the Taoist himself who is implicated. β
The Huipu Taoist listened, fell silent in some mood, and looked ahead.
The right hand rested seemingly casually on the tea table, but the fingers tapped slowly and heavily, straight into the listener's heart.
Such an atmosphere was a bit solemn, and Jiang Ying was not sure if this remark would make the other party unhappy.
After all, these words are good from the heart, but at the same time, in the minds of listeners, they may also be interpreted as improper decision-making.
In this world, not all seniors can accept the "heartfelt words" of the younger generations who are so bluntly opposed.
I don't know how long it took, the east wind rose again, and it was a little blinding.
The Huipu Daoist did not disperse the wind, and Jiang Ying followed with inaction, allowing it to wreak havoc between the two.
It wasn't until the swirling wind dissipated and the surroundings were quiet again, that the Hui Pu Dao suddenly moved.
"You must know that letting your seventh-layer disciples follow us into the mountain is a great affirmation, and naturally it is also an opportunity to express yourself and gain the appreciation of other Taoists.
In the Yunshan Sect, no, in the entire cultivation realm, the more appreciation of the seniors, the more opportunities, the more opportunities, the more opportunities for promotion. β
He said and looked at Jiang Ying meaningfully: "Are you really willing to give up such an opportunity because of your life?"
Seeing him look like this, Jiang Ying had to stand up and solemnly snort at him: "I'm really sorry." What the Huipu Daoist said is true, resources and connections in the cultivation realm indeed mean endless opportunities.
However, there are countless opportunities, but there is only one life.
Regretting one's life doesn't sound like a good word, but the disciple thinks that knowing how to cherish one's life is the real importance of the opportunity, otherwise there will be no life, so what's the use of having the opportunity to fight for the life?"
Hui Pudaodao: "Even if you are not sure that the power in the mountains is really so terrifying, you have to spare your life?"
Jiang Ying said helplessly: "It is precisely because you are uncertain that you should be more careful." Before a certain degree of certainty, the disciple thought that this matter should not be impulsive, and the same was true for other disciples who were similar to the disciple's cultivation. β
The returnee stared at her for a long time, and then suddenly smiled.
"Haha," he nodded with satisfaction, "good, good, he is indeed not an impetuous person, he knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and he dares to refute it head-on." β
He stood up and faced Jiang Ying: "Actually, I just tested you. You are right, there is a precedent ahead, and to take you into the mountains rashly is to risk your lives, and we will come with you to guide and protect you, and we must not be so impulsive.
Your calmness and wisdom are reassuring, so in the next action in Li'an County, I want you to work with the other two senior brothers and sisters, as the main person in charge, to organize everyone to complete this matter. β
Seeing Jiang Ying's stunned expression again, he smiled and said, "This time it's not a temptation. Why, do you want to refuse this?"
Jiang Ying said: "What does the Taoist mean is that the disciples do not need to enter the mountain, but stay in Li'an County with the senior brothers and sisters to clear the evil qi from the civilians after the ghosts have left their bodies?"
"It's for you to be in charge of all matters including the investigation of ghosts, the removal of ghosts, and the removal of the remnants of evil energy among civilians.
In other words, you are one of the Taoists other than me, and you have to be responsible for a few additional thingsβto test the entire county government, and I think there are still spies in it.
And pay close attention to all movements in the county, I think that if the other party comes prepared, it will naturally make another move in the county, if you and I can find out in advance, we can prevent trouble before it happens, and ensure the safety of the entire Li'an County and the monks. β
Jiang Ying listened, but he was a little unsure: "Such a heavy responsibility is entrusted to the disciple, I am afraid that others will not accept it." β
Hui Pudao smiled and said: "Later, I will give you my token, which is equivalent to dividing my rights to you, who is not convinced, you let him come to me and say."
The reason why you are asked to take on this important responsibility is not a preference, it is really one, your previous performance was really good, at least so many disciples present, even if you are a disciple who is older than you, there is no one who reacts quickly, thinks long-term, and thinks to the point.
Second, I said, Sanqing Tuo I will take care of you, the so-called care, not only to keep you safe, but more importantly, I want me to help you and get rid of everyone's prejudice against your identity as a disciple of the Gu Poison Sect.
Prejudice can't be eliminated in a day or two, but some of what I can do is some, and the rest depends on your performance.
Besides, if you can bring out the stone vine branch of Sanqing, I think you might be able to contact Sanqing here. As you said, we may not be able to defeat each other in this matter, and we may need a real-life level person to come to help.
If I and other Taoists enter the mountain and something goes wrong, I am afraid it will be too late for the other disciples to report the news, and we may not be able to use the communication charm under the noses of others.
So then your judgment, your reaction, is very important. If you can move Sanqing in time, you may save our lives, do you understand?"
Jiang Ying listened, and his astonishment and hesitation at the beginning gradually turned into a reality.
Especially after listening to the last paragraph, coupled with the tone of the Taoist at the time, she laughed in her heart: After talking for a long time, she just wanted to borrow her own small stone vine to move rescuers for them when something happened.
Still beating around the bush and speaking out?
However, Sanqing Zhenren's entrustment really surprised her and made her grateful, and she didn't say a word when she heard the words: "Then thank you for the appreciation of the Taoist, the Taoist can rest assured, even if there is no token and this position, the disciple will try his best to help the Taoist, after all, this is also the disciple's task, and it is within the disciple's duty." β
The Daoist laughed, and while motioning for her to return to the post station, he said, "I will wait for the Daoists of the Three Peaks, and we will each choose a person in charge." You and I have decided, and for the rest, let's go back and see. β
I went back to see the senior sister of Baiyun Peak's Qi Refining Perfection, and the senior brother of the ninth layer of Loess Peak's Qi Refining, and determined their respective responsibilities.
But before she could communicate, Jiang Ying's little stone vine conveyed the news to her: [Jiang Jiang !!] 2k reading network
