41: Freemasonry
"Senior brother just now?"
On the way back, looking at Guan Wu's gloomy face, Li Longji and the old man in gray didn't dare to speak, but Guan Wu's performance made them wonder in their hearts, and when they entered the Runshui Prison, Li Longji finally couldn't help but ask.
"Hmph, you still have the face to ask, I didn't expect Yang Hua to be so stupid, he actually carried an unsilenced jade talisman with him, I'm afraid our conversation with him has been learned by Zhanfeng's kid, if this matter spreads, let alone the Huolin Palace, even the Shuikan Hall will not let us go." β
Guan Wu paused, glared at Li Longji viciously, the cold light in his eyes exploded, his face was gloomy, and he shouted angrily at Li Longji.
"What?"
When Li Longji and the old man in gray heard this, they immediately let out a burst of exclamation, the expressions on their faces were even more uncertain, and their hearts were also turbulent, and a strong crisis instantly enveloped their hearts.
"Then what should I do now?" the old man in gray swallowed secretly, and asked with a nervous expression.
"Hmph, although that kid has a reliance in his hands, but the Red Lotus Sword Qi is also our reliance, that kid is a smart person, if we don't embarrass him, I believe he won't tell the matter of the sound transmission jade talisman. We're safe for now. β
Guan Wu frowned, recalled the performance of Zhan Feng just now, smiled coldly, glanced at Li Longji and the old man in gray, sighed secretly, and analyzed.
"But in this way, how can we explain to the Shuikan Palace, and he has our handle in his hand, it is not a long-term solution to go on like this, it is not as good as us-" Li Longji's brows tightened, and suddenly a fine light burst out in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand to scratch his neck, and said with a gloomy face.
"Yes, this is the best way right now?" the old man in gray had a gleam in his eyes, clenching his fists tightly and looking persistent.
"Stupid, didn't you listen to Yue Feng's words, if you dispose of him at this time, the Huolin Hall will definitely not give up, and we will be even more dangerous at that time. β
Guan Wu glared at the two of them, and reprimanded angrily with a look of hatred.
"Senior brother, but that kid is really a hidden danger to us, if we don't get rid of it, I'm afraid we'll -"
Li Longji's face was unwilling, and he was even more afraid that the matter would be revealed, and he was definitely unwilling to put his future fate on the body of a yellow-haired boy when he finally entered the outer door, and the killing intent in his heart was self-evident.
"Hmph, it's easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows, that kid thinks I'll be safe with our handle, this is just the beginning, who doesn't know who will kill the deer? Senior Brother Li, you work hard in the future, keep an eye on that kid, he has just started, he will definitely go to the Hall of Merit to receive the sect task, and we can-"
Guan Wu smiled coldly, and when he spoke, he stretched out his hand and scratched his neck, his intention was very obvious.
As an inner disciple of the Kaiyang Sect, he has a good understanding of the operation of the Kaiyang Sect, and the disciples of the Kaiyang Sect must complete the tasks assigned by the sect within three years, and only after completing the tasks, the Meritorious Hall will report your merits, and then you can obtain the cultivation resources of the sect, including pills, spirit stones, magic weapons and other things.
If you can't complete the sect task three times in a row, it is equivalent to automatically quitting the sect, and you can't step into the Kaiyang Sect from now on, and you don't even have the qualifications to be Xiao Si, so Guan Wu is so sure.
And almost all the positions within the Kaiyang Sect are occupied by some related disciples, and most of the tasks left to new disciples like Zhan Feng are field tasks, so that they can completely eliminate Zhan Feng when Zhan Feng goes out to prevent future troubles.
"Senior brother is really clever, I admire it, so that not only do we not have to worry about the investigation of the Huolin Palace, but we can also take the opportunity to get what we want from that kid's mouth, it is really killing two birds with one stone. β
The gray-clothed old man's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth curved, and a smile finally appeared on his face, and he complimented and approved.
Li Longji also secretly exhaled, although he was still a little uneasy in his heart, but he also knew that Guan Wu's plan was the safest way now.
"Okay, be more careful in the future, that kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you must not be reckless, in case he jumps off the wall in a hurry, you go back first, I will go to the Shuikan Temple to report first." β
Guan Wu nodded, groaned slightly, his expression instantly became serious, he glanced at Li Longji and the gray-clothed old man majestically, and after a few words of warning, he jumped up and flew in the direction of the inner door.
Li Longji and the gray-clothed old man glanced at each other, their eyes full of helplessness and worry, and then walked into the accommodation area of the outer disciples of the Shuikan Palace, Runshui Prison.
On the other side, Yue Feng also returned to the Huolin Hall after explaining a few words, while Zhan Feng flew in the direction of the Deacon Palace.
Now that Zhan Feng is an outer disciple, he can't live in Xiao Si's accommodation area, he needs to find a new place to live.
It's noon, the sun is scorching, and this time is the hottest time of the day, and it's also the time when people are most likely to feel sleepy.
When Zhan Feng came to the Fire Deacon's Hall again, the old man in Tsing Yi who had registered for himself before was still resting on the Taishi chair, perhaps disturbed by the summer heat, the old man's face was covered with ruddy, and the frequency of his chest falling together was also beyond the normal range, and compared to before, there was also an extra folding fan in his hand.
"Disciple Zhanfeng, bothering senior brother. β
Zhan Feng groaned slightly, walked to the old man softly, and bowed respectfully.
"Ohβthe junior brother is back, this trip is good. β
The old man opened his eyes suddenly, and after seeing Zhan Feng, a smile instantly bloomed on his face, and he folded the fan in his hand, and said like an old friend.
"Thank you for your concern, this trip will be smooth, and Senior Brother Lao is worried. β
Zhan Feng was slightly stunned in his heart, with a smile on his face, no longer restrained, and smiled with a smile.
"Haha, you and I are from the same clan, and it is also appropriate to take care of each other, and the junior brother wants to come here for the sake of accommodation, right?"
The old man smiled heartily, turned around and took out a piece of jade slip from the cabinet behind him, and had already guessed Zhanfeng's intentions.
"Senior Brother Lao is bothered. β
Zhan Feng is not polite, he has already seen the meaning of the old man's friendship, although the immortal cultivation world is cruel, but it cannot be isolated from the world, looking at the old man's gentle face, he is not a sinister and cunning person, Zhan Feng will not reject people thousands of miles away.
"It's okay, this is the map introduction of the Fire Spirit Valley where the Fire Deacon Hall has arranged for the outer disciples to stay, this one is the introduction of the Empty Cui Ting, junior disciple take a look, you can choose any place as a place to cultivate. β
The old man waved his hand, put the two white jade slips on the table, and introduced them one by one.
"Thank you, brother. β
Zhan Feng was not polite, after thanking him, he reached out and picked up the map of the Fire Spirit Valley, he is now in prison, safety is the first place, the Fire Spirit Valley is the cultivation place under the name of the Fire Deacon Palace, and it is full of disciples of the Fire Lin Palace, and it is the safest way to choose Zhan Feng to practice in the Fire Spirit Valley.
When Zhan Feng's divine sense probed into the jade jian, an east-west direction, a pleasant climate, a valley with birds singing and fragrant flowers appeared in his mind, although it was a valley, but there were lakes dotted in the valley, the surrounding peaks were faintly red light, and the towering peaks were all volcanoes, for ordinary people to live in such a place would feel dangerous, but for fire attribute monks, this was a rare place to cultivate.
Moreover, the volcanoes in the Fire Spirit Valley are forbidden, even if they erupt, they will not endanger the lives of the disciples in the valley, and at the same time, every volcanic eruption will bring out the fire spirit power from the ground, which is definitely an unexpected benefit for fire attribute monks.
However, there are many outer disciples in the Fire Deacon Palace, although there are many in the Fire Spirit Valley, almost all the places where the fire spirit power is strong are occupied by the disciples who started earlier, especially in the position near the crater, there is almost no open space, and there are only some open spaces on the edge of the lake in the entire Fire Spirit Valley, although the scenery is beautiful but the spiritual energy is thin, even if Zhan Feng does not pay much attention to the fire spiritual power, the place where the spiritual power is thin is always unfavorable to his cultivation, and in desperation, Zhan Feng has to give up the idea of cultivating in the Fire Spirit Valley.
After sighing softly, Zhan Feng put down the jade slip of Fire Spirit Valley, his face a little disappointed.
"Senior brother, you also know that there are many disciples in the Fire Lin Palace, and if you want to choose a good place in the Fire Spirit Valley, it is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack, but the junior brother is afraid that he doesn't know much about the Empty Cuiting, which is a special cultivation place for the sect, and there is only one place every year, and there is abundant spiritual power of the five elements and a beautiful environment, so the junior disciple does not have to be discouraged by the Fire Spirit Valley. β
Seeing Zhan Feng's disappointed appearance, the old man was a little curious, thinking that Zhan Feng didn't know much about Kong Cui Ting, so he explained it while introducing the situation of Kong Cui Ting to Zhan Feng.
Zhan Feng smiled slightly, but didn't say much, and reached out to pick up the jade slip of the empty cuiting.
After the divine sense penetrated, a quiet and comfortable courtyard-style pavilion appeared in his mind, the area of the Empty Cui Court was almost twice the size of the Fire Spirit Valley, green water and green mountains, tourmaline jade lakes, dotted all over the place, and there were already built pavilions and pavilions in the Sky Cui Courtyard, the cultivation environment was needless to say, compared to the crowding of the Fire Spirit Valley, the Sky Cui Court was sparsely populated, and the huge Sky Cui Court only had a few hundred people living in it according to the records of the Jade Jane, which made Zhan Feng a little surprised.
Moreover, Zhan Feng was also surprised to find that the jade slip of the empty cui court not only recorded the location of the empty cui court, but also recorded the Huangfeng Valley of the Kanazawa Palace, the Runshui Supervisor of the Shuikan Palace, the Chiba Forest of the Xunmu Palace, the Fire Spirit Valley of the Huolin Palace, the Gale Gorge of the Dikun Palace, and the cultivation places under the Five Deacon Palaces were all recorded in the jade slips.
Of course, it is only a preliminary record, and there is not much description of the specific situation, but it can be seen from the entire cultivation map that the cultivation place of the five major deacon halls plus the empty cuiting is all east-west, and the connection together is to sit in the north and face south, and the Kaiyang Sect Master Peak Luoyan Peak is in one direction, and the meaning is naturally self-evident.
After careful study, Zhan Feng finally found his cultivation place on Lotus Island in the southwest of the empty cui court, where the green mountains are surrounded, there is a stream meandering at the foot of the mountain, and at the end of the stream there is a lake with a radius of about one mile, and in the center of the lake there is an independent courtyard, which is indeed an ideal place for Zhan Feng, who has a secret.
What's more, there are no monks living within a radius of ten miles of the place he chose, which is the most direct reason why he chose this place.
After choosing, Zhanfeng's consciousness moved, and instantly burned his own information at the location of Lotus Island, and in an instant, a red dot shone on the map of the jade slip, and then Zhanfeng's identity information appeared in the jade slip.
"Thank you, brother, I made my choice. β
After doing everything, Zhan Feng withdrew his divine sense from the jade slip, smiled gratefully at the old man, and returned the jade slip in his hand to the old man.
"βSenior brother, although this place is secluded, its spiritual power is slightly insufficient compared to other places, so you must choose there. β
The old man took the jade slip, his divine sense probed into the jade slip, and when he saw the place Zhan Feng chose, his face showed a trace of doubt, and he asked a little puzzled.
"Yes, I like to be quiet, it's a place of tranquility where the aura is lacking. β
Zhan Feng nodded, touched his chin, and couldn't tell the old man what he really thought.
"Well, but it is, the junior brother has a good eye, and it is indeed a quiet place, so I will record it for the junior brother. β
The old man nodded, but he didn't ask, but took out a thumb-sized jade pendant from the cabinet behind him, the red light flashed in his hand, and the jade pendant in his hand instantly burst into a white light, and in an instant, a small formation appeared in the white light, the old man muttered in his mouth, the white light shining formation suddenly shrank, and an empty word was instantly printed on the jade pendant, and then the white light turned into a shock and was quickly swallowed by the empty word in the jade pendant, and in the blink of an eye, the white light disappeared, and the old man stopped doing it.
"Senior brother, this is the certificate of the Empty Cuiting, you can pass the prohibition of the Empty Cuiting if you take it, please take it. β
The old man's technique is skillful, and in a few breaths, Zhanfeng's evidence will be condensed, and before Zhanfeng can fully react, the old man has completed the condensation, and handed the jade pendant in his hand to Zhanfeng with a smile.
"βThere's Senior Brother Lao. β
Zhan Feng shook his head, and immediately bowed down to thank him, from the efficiency of the old man's work, it can be seen that the old man's sincerity, in a place like Kaiyang Sect, where people are sinister, can enjoy such treatment, Zhan Feng is grateful in his heart.
"Haha, junior brother doesn't have to be like this, if the old man has leisure, he will definitely disturb the junior brother, and the junior brother can't be closed at that time. β
The old man smiled cheerfully, waved his hand, and said jokingly.
The senior brother laughed, if he can get the senior brother's breakfast, he will definitely welcome the senior brother in the future. β
Zhan Feng also smiled with relief, and also had a good impression of the old man in his heart, shaking hands with a solemn look on his face.
In the world of cultivating immortals, although the human heart is unpredictable and the sea is immeasurable, when you meet someone who is good and has a good feeling, it is inevitable that you will smell like each other and call yourself a confidant.
The old man treats each other with sincerity, Zhan Feng naturally can't be cold-eyed, I don't offend people if they don't offend me, Zhan Feng is not a merciless person from beginning to end, and the vigilance and defense in his heart are only for those who can embarrass themselves.
After chatting with the old man, Zhan Fengcai, the old man Su Jiangming, a person from Jiujiang in the northeast of Cangyue Mountain, set foot on the cultivation of immortals when he was a teenager because his family was killed by the ghost spirit gate of the northeast of the Song Kingdom, but because of his qualifications, he is still just a six-grade monk who practices qi, and the revenge obsession in his heart in his early years is also slowly talked about because of the strength of the ghost spirit gate and the passage of time, and now he just wants to spend the rest of the time in peace.
After listening to Su Jiangming's life, Zhan Feng felt some feelings in his heart, his family was killed, Xiu Xian took revenge, the two of them are very similar, the only difference is that Su Jiangming has let go of the obsession of revenge, but the obsession in Zhan Feng's heart is getting stronger and stronger.
Perhaps stimulated by Su Jiangming's experience, Zhan Feng did not go to see his new residence after leaving the deacon's hall, but went in the direction of the library pavilion, he was afraid that he would be like Su Jiangming, forgetting his obsession with the passage of time, and in order to take revenge as soon as possible, he wanted to go to the library as soon as possible to find what he needed.
