55: To each his own mind
At that time, Yunlai Peak, the core disciple of Huolin was stationed.
After Lifeng came out of the main hall, he came directly to Yue Feng's residence, and just happened to meet Yue Feng from where Zhan Feng came back.
"Master, why are you here?"
Yue Feng, who was flying on the sword, had been thinking about Zhanfeng's refining materials all the way, and suddenly raised his head and found that there was a figure in his small courtyard walking back and forth, he was stunned at first, and after seeing that it was Lifeng, the flying sword under his feet suddenly accelerated, and he quickly returned to his small courtyard.
"The head of the sect decrees, if you cultivate above the Jindan period, you are not allowed to participate in the affairs of the sect, and there may be several other disciples stationed in the Huolin Palace, and you need to make your own decisions about Zhanfeng in the future, unless you have to, you can't come to me. ”
Lifeng's expression was upright, his face was serious, and his expression was solemn, the reason why he came to find Yue Feng was that he was afraid that Zhao Gang's subordinates would take advantage of his escape from the world and take advantage of the situation to slander the Huolin Palace, so as to affect his daughter Liyue.
As a father, he doesn't allow anything to be unfavorable to his daughter, so he must make sure that nothing threatens her daughter before escaping.
If he had no worries in normal times, even if he didn't have the identity of the archdeacon of the Fire Lin Palace, he was not afraid of Zhao Gang, but now Zi Ming's attitude was stern and unquestionable, and there was almost no room for him, which made him suspicious.
"The disciple understands that the disciple must handle the affairs of Zhanfeng well and ensure the safety of the little junior sister. ”
Yue Feng was slightly stunned, although he was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask more, from Lifeng's solemn tone, he already felt the seriousness of the matter, and naturally didn't dare to have any doubts.
"Well, you are my most proud disciple, it shouldn't be difficult to handle this matter with your qualifications, if it's really to the point of forgetting - you can ...... him yourself"
Lifeng nodded, he was very relieved of Yue Feng's ability, but there are accidents in everything, Li Feng hesitated, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he reached out and scratched his neck with his fingers, the meaning was very clear, if Zhan Feng really threatened Liyue, then Yue Feng could fight it by himself.
"The disciple understands, and the master can rest assured. ”
Yue Feng trembled slightly, his expression was straight, and he nodded solemnly, he knew the meaning of Lifeng very well, if it was really at that time, he would not be soft.
People are like this, when it comes to their own interests, they are often persistent, no matter what the price is paid, they will protect their own interests, Lifeng is like this, Yue Feng is also like this, Zhanfeng is naturally no exception.
At the same time, Yunkai Peak, the core disciple of the Water Kan Hall is stationed.
Zhao Gang also found Guan Wu, at this time Guan Wu knelt in front of Zhao Gang with a cold sweat on his forehead, looking nervous and afraid to make any movements.
"Guan Wu, what's going on?"
Zhao Gang glanced at Guan Wu coldly, his tone was flat, but with an unattainable majesty.
"The disciple is investigating—there are already some eyebrows. ”
Guan Wu trembled, swallowed his saliva secretly, and replied hesitantly, looking very nervous.
"Hmph, useless things, from now on, you let go of it, and give you another month to find out the matter of the Red Lotus Sword Qi to me, if you can't do it, you know the consequences." ”
Zhao Gang snorted coldly, his face was unhappy, his grim eyes stared at Guan Wu tightly, and his tone was full of unscrupulous coercion.
This time, Ziming Zhenren suddenly issued an edict, which caught him a little off guard, of course, in his heart, it was also a good opportunity to deal with Lifeng of the Huolin Palace, if the matter of the Red Lotus Sword Qi could be found out during the time when they were away from the world, then the Huolin Hall would definitely be punished, and when the edict was revoked, Lifeng would probably not be qualified to ascend to the position of the archdeacon of the Huolin Palace.
Of course, he also knew that even if Lifeng lost the position of the archdeacon of the Huolin Palace, the Huolin Hall would not live in peace with the Shuikan Palace, but for Zhao Gang, the biggest threat to the Shuikan Hall in the Huolin Hall was Lifeng, if Lifeng lost the status of the archdeacon, according to his means, basically no one in the Huolin Hall would be his opponent, and the action of suppressing the Huolin Hall would be much easier at that time.
In saying that if there is no Lifeng to suppress the Huolin Palace, it is impossible for the Xunmu Hall and the Dikun Hall to maintain the current close status quo with the Huolin Palace, and forcing the retreat from the peak is likely to directly lead to the collapse of the Three Halls Alliance, and at that time, with the strength of the Shuikan Palace, he can sit firmly at the head of the five major deacon halls, except for the head and the elders' pavilion, he does not need to be afraid of anyone, although he is only the archdeacon of the Shuikan Palace, but he has the right to be above ten thousand people under one person.
If he planned properly, he could even be the head directly, in this way, this edict of the head of the house would be of great benefit to him, of course, all of this must be based on the investigation of the Red Lotus Sword Qi, so he would come to Guan Wu at such an urgent moment.
The reason why he chose Guan Wu is that in addition to Guan Wu's insidious and cunning personality and greed for small profits, the most important thing is that Guan Wu is not his direct disciple, even if something happens during the investigation, he can stay out of the matter, with Zhao Gang's scheming character, he will not leave any handle on his opponent.
"The disciple understands that the disciple will definitely find out as soon as possible, please rest assured. ”
Guan Wu's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt a cold swish behind his back, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping down his cheeks, his expression was frightened, and he kept reassuring Zhao Gang.
Zhao Gang's reputation Guan Wu had heard of it for a long time, and countless monks who were tortured to death by him were notoriously ruthless, although Guan Wu coveted his identity as a core disciple, but at this time he had a trace of regret in his heart.
At that time, the transfer of the rights of the five major deacon halls was completed, and the more than 100 Jindan elders who served in the five major deacon halls all returned to Luoyan Peak to escape the world and cultivate.
Except for a few confidential positions guarded by Elder Jindan who had escaped from the world before, the other positions were guarded by foundation building monks, and even the archdeacon of the five major deacons hall were foundation building monks.
Not only did the direct disciples of the Five Great Deacon Halls not get the important positions of the Five Great Deacon Palaces, they didn't even have ordinary positions, and even the various privileges they had had before were canceled by Zi Ming Zhenren with the edict of the head of the house.
In order to calm the dispute between fire and water, Zi Ming made a big change to the Kaiyang Sect, from top to bottom, it was like changing a bucket of water, and many things were no longer involved in the direct disciples of the five deacons.
Of course, he also knew that this kind of personnel change could not completely eradicate the long-standing grievances of the two halls of water and fire, nor could it shake the transcendent status of the five major deacons in the five major deacon halls, and the next thing he had to do was to strictly require the direct disciples of the five major deacons, and if there were violators, they would be dealt with seriously, and at the same time relax the restrictions on ordinary disciples, so that they could have the opportunity to participate in sect affairs.
While promoting the status of the direct disciples of the non-five deacons, the status of the direct disciples of the five major deacons was suppressed, so that the Kaiyang Sect could return to a normal balance.
Of course, this is just Zi Ming's idea, and it remains to be seen whether it can be done specifically, but in this way, it does give many opportunities to the monks who are not the direct disciples of the five major deacons, at least the cultivation resources are much better than before, and those monks who were suppressed by the direct disciples of the five major deacons before began to grow rapidly, and occupied an important position in the sect.
At the same time, the direct disciples of the five deacons also changed their arrogant attitude in the past, and became much more modest and sensible than before, or more cautious, and did not dare to complain or be dissatisfied.
Of course, Zhan Feng, the culprit who caused a chain reaction, was unaware of this major change in the sect.
Since discovering the secret of the White Jade Mirage, he has had less and less contact with the outside world, like a person who has escaped from the world, ignoring what is going on outside the window and doing his own thing.
