At the foot of Songzhu Peak, Dongfang Jing's eyes widened, and he asked puzzledly, "Why did you suddenly ask him to go to Tianlong Academy? No matter what point you look at, he is not a suitable person to pretend to be Ming Wu." Zhang Zhikong's cultivation has reached the Yellow Crown, and with a little attention from the Heavenly Dragon Academy, he can know the inside story, and this alone is enough to make him fall into a catastrophe!"

Dongfang Li smiled slightly: "Senior brother, don't be impatient, just talk to him." ”

"Just talking?"

"Yes, talk to him casually, and he refused. ”

Of course he would refuse...... Senior brother, what do you mean? Let's say okay, ask him to go to Xia Kingdom to make a secret stake, why did you suddenly change your mind and let him replace Ming Wu?"

Dongfang Li waved his hand: "Senior brother, don't worry, listen to me." With Zhao Zhiran's temperament, you and I have estimated before that he is probably unwilling to do this dark pile, he is a life-sparing. If he had asked for it, he would probably not have agreed. ”

Dongfang Jing frowned and said: "He is not from Sanqing Pavilion, it is normal not to agree, this matter is not easy to force." Should the essence and blood of the Xuanjia turtle be given or should be given, if Uncle Cai knew that I was taking this matter as a condition, he would definitely not be able to agree. ”

Dongfang Li said: "Uncle Cai will hide it first, don't worry, he can't come out of this retreat for ten days and half a month." {Senior brother, you and Zhao Zhiran have some friendship, I understand this, you want to protect him, I also understand, but he is indeed a good seedling to go to Xia Kingdom to be a dark pile, it would be a pity not to go, I can't bear it. First of all, he knows a little about Xia Guo, and he also knows a lot about the doorways of Buddhism. Secondly, Pei Zhongze of Qingyun Pavilion also said. was able to escape back from the Xia Kingdom, in fact, most of the credit lies on Zhao Zhiran's head. Do you think, when he lost the Xia Kingdom that day, he didn't have a trace of cultivation, but now that he has cultivation, will it be worse than at the beginning? In just five years, he went from a dispossessed peasant child to a temple temple, and this kind of wit is not something that ordinary people can have. ”

Dongfang Jing shook his head and said, "That doesn't mean that he is a suitable candidate......"

Dongfang Li asked rhetorically: "Why can't it?" Okay, junior brother, let me ask you another question, what is Zhao Zhiran's greatest strength?"

Dongfang Jing opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know how to answer this question.

Dongfang Li said: "Is it cultivation, is it Taoism, is it a root or a qualification, is it a dignified appearance or is it full ......of talent, is it a proud bone or can speak the Tao, or is it something else?"

Dongfang Jing: "......"

"Can't answer? Then why did such a person with no strengths actually enter your junior brother's vision?"

“......”

Dongfang Li smiled and asked again: "There is one more question, in addition to the root bones." What are Zhao Zhiran's shortcomings? Great treachery and evil? Inability to distinguish between right and wrong? Cultivation is unbearable? Daoist supernatural powers are extremely poor? His appearance and demeanor are unsightly? In fact, even his biggest shortcoming, that is, the fact that his roots and bones are not correct, does not seem to be that bad, and he has only been at the threshold of cultivation for a few years? But when I look at his cultivation, the mana of the Taoist realm is almost complete, do you think it is strange?"

“......”

"Like my junior brother, I can't find Zhao Zhiran's obvious shortcomings, think about it. Even I myself am strange, a person who has no shortcomings. Why do I think he's normal?"

“......”

"I haven't dealt with Zhao Zhiran much before, but today's conversation made me feel very happy, like a spring breeze, and I said a lot of things unconsciously. But when I thought about it just now, I really couldn't remember it. What the hell did he say - except for refusing to go undercover in the Tenryu Academy. Since my junior brother and he met, do you feel the same way?"

Dongfang Jing pondered for a moment, and had to nod and admit: "Indeed." ”

Dongfang Li said: "Such a person, if he doesn't go to Xia Kingdom to be a dark pile, it's a waste!"

Dongfang Jing was silent for a moment. said: "But he will still refuse, as I just said, he is desperate for his life." ”

Dongfang Li said: "I know. In the conversation just now, he should be able to hear my implicit meaning, if you want to get the essence blood of the Xuanjia Turtle, you have to go to the Tianlong Courtyard - of course, I didn't say it explicitly, because this condition is not valid, if you really want to do this, Uncle Cai will definitely not be able to spare me. Although he refused, I knew that the essence and blood of the turtle were very tempting to him, but it was not enough to make him take the risk...... Then I added another one, telling him that Buddhism has a kind of exercise that can solve the problem of root bone integrity once and for all......"

"What exercises?"

"The Wheel of Life and Birth Method of the Jialan Temple. ”

Dongfang Jing was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, have you found out the details of such an exercise?"

Dongfang Li shook his head: "Where is it so easy? ”

Dongfang Jing said unhappily: "Senior brother shouldn't deceive him." ”

Dongfang Li said: "Senior brother, don't worry, senior brother, I am just telling the truth...... However, I always have a hunch that it seems that the method of recovering the Wheel of Life and Birth is really going to fall on him, which is why I want him to go to the Xia Kingdom. Having said that, there are two reasons, and I believe Zhao Zhiran will weigh them carefully in the next few days. So I first proposed to let him replace Ming Wu, he unsurprisingly refused, wait for two days, I will lower the conditions, do not let him replace Ming Wu, let him do the dark pile to cooperate with Ming Wu, retreat to the second, maybe he will agree. ”

Dongfang Jing shook his head: "Senior brother, you put so much effort into him, why bother? ”

Dongfang Li sighed: "I didn't think so much about him, but the more I know him, the more I think he is a good seedling, and it's a pity not to cultivate him." ”

He still wouldn't agree. ”

"That can't be done, so I can only make up the essence for him and let him go down the mountain. Jiang Tenghe of Huayun Pavilion is not a character to be messed with, and now that he has broken through the realm and been promoted to a refiner, he doesn't dare to offend. ”

After talking for a while, Dongfang Li left, and Dongfang Jing went up the mountain to meet Zhao Ran. When he saw Zhao Ran, he was still a little unnatural, for fear that Zhao Ran would ask him about this matter, so he thought hard about how to deal with it on the way, but after meeting, Zhao Ran did not mention this matter, but just talked with him about his feelings after farewell, and talked very happily, which made Dongfang Jing breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhao Ran asked about Master Cai's situation, saying that he wanted to visit, and Dongfang Jing said that Master Cai was in retreat for alchemy, and he needed to delay for a while, and he would be able to meet on the day he left the customs.

Zhao Ran said in his heart, could it be that he was refining an elixir for me that could make up for Jing Yuan? Therefore, there were a few more expectations in his heart, but he also added a lot of entanglements - he had already refused to go to the Xia Kingdom Tianlong Academy to pretend to be Zhang Zhikong, how could he ask for the elixir when the time came?

After living on Songzhu Peak for a few days, Dongfang Li came to Zhao Ran again, this time he did not ask Zhao Ran to replace Zhang Zhikong's "Ming Wu" identity, but put forward another condition.

"If Senior Brother Zhao doesn't want to go to Tianlong Academy, it's okay, we will find someone else to replace ......"

"I really can't help it, I don't want to, I'm really afraid of messing up the errand. Last time I fled from the Xia Kingdom and came back, there were many monks who saw me along the way, although I now have to regain my hair and save money, and my appearance has changed, but I can't say that there are those monks who have a vicious vision, if I meet, I can really be very empty in my heart. ”

"Senior brother, your worries are unnecessary, even if you have seen it, who can say that you are not Ming Wu? Few people in the Buddhist sect have seen Ming Wu. ”

"But I'm still very weak-hearted, and I'm a ...... of Junshan Temple."

"Who can say that Junshan Temple Zhu is not Ming Wu? Okay, okay, Senior Brother Zhao doesn't have to worry about it, this matter is purely voluntary, whether to go or not is between the thoughts of the junior brother, and I can't force the junior brother. ”

“...... So, thank you, brother. I'm really sorry not to go, hehe......"

"Since the junior brother is not going to go, I have another matter here, I don't know if I can bother the junior brother?"

"Oh, brother, please speak, as long as I can do it, I will do my best!"

Dongfang Li clasped his hands and praised: "I know that my junior brother is not a person who is afraid of difficulties and dangers!"

As soon as Zhao Ran heard this, a little hope suddenly ignited in his heart, and his heart seemed to make up for Jing Yuan's matter to turn around again, and he hurriedly said: "This is natural! Senior brother, please give orders." ”

"The person who replaces Zhang Zhikong, we will look for another person, and after finding a suitable person, we will send it to Tianlong Academy. But I have been in the Xia Kingdom for 20 years, and I feel that it is not easy to act, and many times I often sigh that it is difficult to sing alone. Senior brother, you have been to the Xia Kingdom, and you are relatively familiar with Buddhism, we plan to send several people to the Xia Kingdom at the same time, and secretly cooperate with the 'Ming Five' when necessary...... Well, maybe after I go, I can come back without anything, easily, safely, I don't know if my junior brother is willing to join it?"

Zhao Ran pondered for a moment and asked, "How long do you need to go to Xia Kingdom?" Senior brother, you know, I am still the Junshan Temple Zhu, and I am afraid that I will slack off the affairs of the temple after going for a long time. ”

Dongfang Li smiled and said: "You don't have to go for a long time, at least three months, at most half a year, as long as you build a few dark lines, you can return to Daming." (To be continued......) i1292
