Chapter 20: Conversation
Even if a person is secretly executed, it will be difficult not to be discovered. Gathering a crowd to fight is to be convicted, no matter how willful Hu Si and Fei Rong are, they will not risk their lives.
They had never really fought once in the Turning Courtyard, but there had been a few conflicts outside the jurisdiction of the Genshin Sect, and a few people had died.
Now that the tension is high, Fei Rong is at a disadvantage, and he challenges Hu Si.
"I, Fei Rong, want to duel with you Hu Si!" Fei Rong was not sure of Hu Si's attitude, but there was no other way, and he proposed that the duel still have a chance to live.
When Hu Si heard the duel, he thought about it for a moment, he was about to upgrade, and he could enter the fourth layer of the cultivation path in these two days.
"Okay! Three days later, there will be a duel in the open space of the mulberry forest!" After speaking, Hu Si was about to leave.
Zuo Yanmu followed behind Hu Si, and Fei Rong saw that the god-killing bow and crossbow were still aimed at him, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Hu Si took Zuo Yanmu to the open space of the Turning Courtyard, and they wanted to talk alone.
"Why did you provoke Fei Rong?" Hu Si turned his back to Zuo Yanmu, and there was a reason for Xingshi to ask for guilt.
"I didn't know, Lumi took me to room ten early in the morning, and then Fei Rong was going to kill me like he was sick. I think he must be worried that the eldest brother will be a threat to him because he has won me as a general. Zuo Yanmu knelt down and bowed to Hu Si and called the eldest brother very politely.
Hu Si didn't turn around, he looked up at the sky, there were no clouds, the breeze was coming, and his heart was more comfortable.
"I know you don't want to be my subordinate, but you don't have a choice, I can only protect my minions, not anyone else. Hu Si clenched his fists, and the sound of bones could be heard in the left smoker.
Listening to Hu Si's meaning, he formed a gang to protect others. Zuo Yanmu doesn't know the truth and won't treat Hu Si as a good person.
"I don't treat you as my own, I just want you to understand that I am a righteous person. Don't look at my five big and three thick, I've always been a two-sided knife to my brother. Hu Si turned around and sat cross-legged.
Zuo Yanmu also sat down and cooperated with Hu Si to act.
"You didn't know how dirty it was when you first arrived, and I don't blame you. You can distrust me, but you must listen to what I have to say. Hu Si closed his eyes and thought about what he said.
Zuo Yanmu felt weird, not at all like the tyrannical man who had tyrannized him before. Suddenly, there was a charm of life and death.
"The turnaround courtyard is huge, you already know it, and you should understand it when it's overcrowded. The vast majority of the people who live in the Conversion Courtyard are registered disciples and people who failed the trial and failed to become a registered disciple, but did not want to leave. I'm the latter, and I'm not ashamed at all, because God's trial isn't as simple as you think.
I'm only going to talk about going back to the courtyard, and from now on you have to understand who is powerful and who says, this is the rule. Fei Rong and I are not the boss yet, after all, we are not even registered disciples. The registered disciples have a higher status and good treatment, and their strength is very strong. People like me and Fei Rong who want to stay in the Turning Courtyard have to cater to the registered disciples, and we have to provide whatever they need.
Compared to a new disciple like you, people like us who didn't make it to a registered disciple are even sadder. Because you still have the possibility to advance, and we are already imprisoned here, and we can no longer participate in the Divine Trial. As he spoke, Hu Si frowned, sounding very aggrieved.
It sounds good to the outside world, and God allows you to participate in the trial all the time. Once every ten years, there are more than 100,000 people who participate each time, and for those who fail to advance for the first time, they become puppets of registered disciples after living in the Hui Courtyard.
Who is behind the manipulation, Hu Si and Fei Rong will never know. Perhaps only when Zuo Yanmu becomes a registered disciple can he understand the darkness in it.
Hu Si didn't succeed in the promotion at the beginning, and he was abused in the Hui Courtyard, and all kinds of good things were looted, so his cultivation progress slowed down. Hu Si is nearly forty years old, and he only has the strength of the third layer of the Self-cultivation Dao.
"The turnaround courtyard is divided into ten areas, starting from room No. 1, and the owner of rooms from one to ten is the officer. The officers were responsible for maintaining order in the ten regions, and these officers were originally held by registered disciples, but later the registered disciples transferred the heavy responsibilities to the lower ones in order to cultivate and become outer disciples.
The room you live in is room number one, and I don't care how you got this room, I just want you to know that my eldest brother was originally the owner of room number one. He was a very kind person, and it was thanks to him that I was able to get out of the underprivileged group. Saying that, Hu Si sighed, this is a man's usual way to prevent himself from crying sadly.
Zuo Yanmu became interested in Hu Si's story.
"Is your eldest brother ......" Zuo Yanmu stopped when he wanted to speak.
"He's dead. He tried to change the courtyard of the Hui Dynasty, which was enslaved by a registered disciple, and was brutally murdered during a gathering of officials. Hu Si was a little choked, he couldn't go on, he didn't want to cry in front of Zuo Yanmu, so he sat with his back to Zuo Yanmu.
"Why are you telling me this? Zuo Yanmu felt uncomfortable when he saw the tall Hu Si become like this.
"Again, I didn't treat you as my own. I just see that you have some ability, and you live in room number one, and I hope you can do something for the turnaround courtyard like my big brother in the future. Hu Si had already begun to wipe his eyes with his hands, and Zuo Yanmu could guess Hu Si's expression from behind.
To be honest, Zuo Yanmu really didn't know that Room No. 1 was the officer's room. How could he, a newcomer, live in the officer's room? Thinking about it, there is only one possibility, and that is that the flute is a ghost.
Zuo Yanmu regarded the flute alto as a good friend, but he didn't expect the flute alto to push himself into the fire pit.
Or there is another possibility, according to Zuo Yanmu's understanding of the flute alto, the flute alto is a very smart guy. There are a lot of things that Zuo Yanmu doesn't understand even if he wants to break his head, and the flute alto can easily figure it out. Maybe it's all in the middle of the flute.
It's terrible, Zuo Yanmu thinks that the flute alto is using himself, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
"Master, do you think this matter has anything to do with the flute alto?" Zuo Yanmu asked the fox fairy in his heart.
"It's hard to say, I've been paying attention to what you've been through, and based on my speculation, it could be ...... In fact, you can think that Di Zhongyin arranged you to room No. 1 because he wanted you to be an officer, and then use your ability to change the status quo of the Rotary Courtyard. The fox fairy said.
Zuo Yanmu didn't want his good friend to take advantage of him, but it was slightly better to think like this. It can't be that the alto is completely framing itself.
In the end, you still have to go to the flute alto to make it clear in person, and there is no point in guessing.
Zuo Yanmu wanted to say goodbye to Hu Si, but it was not suitable to leave at the moment.
"Big brother, don't you still have a lot to say, I'll listen. "Zuo Yanmu tried to be as polite as possible.
"Okay, tell you about my plans. Hu Si calmed down and faced the left smoker.
Zuo Yanmu looked up, Hu Si really looked like he was crying. Although Hu Si used his aura to evaporate the tears on his face, it was not difficult to find that his eyes were still very moist.
"It stands to reason that room number one is empty and I am eligible to move in. As long as I live in, I'll be the officer of District 1. But I didn't do it because I respected my brother and wouldn't allow anyone to move in.
Now that you live in, there must be someone behind you to help, and I agree with your strength for the time being. You remember, in three days I will duel with Fei Rong, and if I kill him, I will do my best to seriously injure him, and then you will find a chance to kill him.
He is the official of the 10th district, and his influence is very large, and the 10th district is very chaotic, and all kinds of shameless deeds are caused by him. If you kill him, the ten districts will be leaderless, and the officials of the other districts will find a way to intervene. Your goal is to take out the officers of the other districts, and then insert your cronies in them, so that the Turnaround Courtyard is under your control.
When you are promoted to become a registered disciple, you will investigate deeply, and the matter of returning to the courtyard is not simple, you have to be careful. Be sure to do what I say, and don't let my death be worthless. Hu Si shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"This, big brother, don't say that, you are so powerful, you can definitely defeat that fat dragon. Zuo Yanmu encouraged Hu Si.
"Fat Dragon?oh, haha...... It's a good name, and when I see him later, I'll call him that. Hu Si laughed heartily and patted Zuo Yanmu's shoulder.
Zuo Yanmu nodded and smiled with satisfaction. People can't look good, he really saw Hu Si wrong. Hu Si's face is hideous, but his heart is soft and soft; Fei Rong is handsome and chic, and he doesn't know how insidious the black-hearted nest is.
Zuo Yanmu and Hu Si talked about some inconsequential things again, and they separated after a while.
Room One.
Zuo Yanmu was frantically absorbing qi, and the wind attribute cyclone in his body began to condense, and he could form a golden pill with more strength.
The fox fairy always pays attention to the transmission state of the aura in Zuoyanmu's body, lest Zuoyanmu be too anxious and cause the aura to break through the meridians.
"No matter how difficult it is to breathe, don't worry, just concentrate on it, and then pay attention to your breathing, don't be too hard. "The fox fairy tried to make Zuo Yanmu not so nervous.
According to Zuo Yanmu's proficiency in the control of aura, he can form a wind-attribute golden pill when it is dark. The fox fairy only needs to stabilize the breath of Zuo Yanmu, and don't let the aura of the surrounding air go too obviously.
If the people outside knew about Zuo Yanmu's terrifying cultivation progress, they would definitely be jealous and afraid, which would be unfavorable to Zuo Yanmu.
Several times, Hu Si passed by room No. 1 and found no abnormality, and Fei Rong passed by and found no abnormality. Many disciples walked in front of the door of room No. 1 in one day, after all, it was the room closest to the door of the Turning Courtyard, and they didn't notice anything abnormal.
With the cry of a crow under the moon, the left smoke wood finally formed a golden pill.
He was sweating, and when he stopped breathing, he found that the surface of his body was surrounded by a few rays of white light, just like when the fox fairy master cast a spell in a dream.
Wind attribute Jin Dan can shorten the gap between casting the same spell, for example, Lu Mi uses lightning cutting, and after using it once, it doesn't mean that the aura in the body is enough to use it all the time. If Lumi cancels the spell and wants to use it again, he will have to take a break for a while, and he may not be able to use Lightning Cut until the next day.
This is called a spell cooldown.
There is no restriction on swordsmanship and basic spells, and the wind attribute golden pill is not good for Zuo Yanmu at this stage.
