Chapter 43: The Gong
Elder Qinglan puffed out his cheeks and looked at the disguised pit where Ye Shuran was at his feet, and he didn't know where to spread the fire in his heart.
If Tang Qingyuan saw Qing Lan's expression, he would definitely laugh his teeth out, because he and Qing Lan had been friends for hundreds of years, and they had never seen a mild-tempered Qing Lan being angry like this.
What kind of person is Elder Qinglan?
First of all, he is a fat old man, a kind and indisputable fat old man. At first glance, everyone would never think that he was a sect elder who held the power of life and death, but that he should be an old man who lived next door and tended to flowers and plants, or a teacher who was often teased by naughty students.
It is true that Qinglan has always disliked disputes, she has been a good person with no temper since she was young, and she never cares about things. Qing Lan has a good talent, but he is not competitive, even after becoming an elder, most of his thoughts are on the spirit wood and spirit grass in his courtyard, of course, he cares most about the goggle that has accompanied him for many years.
It is said that a person like Qing Lan is actually not suitable to be a sect elder, and he is not interested in those trivial matters in the sect in his heart. If he had a choice, he would rather be a nominal worship elder of the Qingling Sect, or simply go down the mountain and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to raise flowers and grass, rather than spend his energy on some meaningless things all day long.
It's a pity that life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, Qinglan wants to enjoy Qingfu, but someone disagrees, that person is Qinglan's friend Tang Qingyuan, who has played since childhood.
Qinglan started a few years earlier than Tang Qingyuan, and she can be regarded as Tang Qingyuan's senior brother. I think that at the beginning, when Tang Dazhang was still a miserable young man, the mild-tempered Qinglan took a lot of care of Tang Qingyuan, and Tang Qingyuan also talked about this selfless brother, and over the years, the friendship between the two has not deteriorated after many tests. Of course, everyone can guess that the person who is tested is always the more honest of the two.
Time flies, the miserable green boy of the year has now led the party, Tang Qingyuan has been sitting in the position of the head of the sect for more than a hundred years, but in fact, Tang Qingyuan, who was born in poverty, has never sat comfortably in the position of the head of the sect. Tang Qingyuan's wisdom and means are undoubted, otherwise he would not stand out from many disciples and become the master of one side, but such a lofty position as the head of the Qingling Sect cannot sit still with his personal ability and means.
When Tang Qingyuan first became the head of the sect, the intricate interpersonal relationships within the sect made the Tang Dazhang sect anxious, and the backgrounds of the various elders and deacons made the Tang Dazhang sect very jealous. To exaggerate it, everyone in the sect has their own interests, and behind the operation of every affairs of the sect, there are more than a pair of invisible hands that are either pushing or obstructing, so that Tang Qingyuan's various ideas have already been squeezed beyond recognition by all parties after they are implemented, and he sometimes even doubts whether the Qingling Sect needs a master.
If the strength is insufficient, it is natural to strengthen the strength, and if the voice is insufficient, the voice must be increased, and if there are no allies among the elders, then the allies must be turned into elders.
If you want to say who is the most trusted person in Tang Qingyuan in the entire Qingling Sect, then there is no doubt that Qinglan must be at the forefront. So, after years of hard work by Tang Dazhang, Qinglan became the elder of the Qingling Sect as she wished, of course, as Tang Qingyuan wished.
After Qinglan became an elder, she also did her best for Tang Qingyuan, and accompanied Tang Qingyuan through the most difficult years. The difficulty of Tang Da's mastery is definitely a hundred reassuring in the hands of Qing Lan. However, Qinglan really didn't want to do this, and many years later, with the rise of Elder Qingyan, Qinglan slowly put down the affairs in her hands and wanted to enjoy a few years of Qingfu.
Tang Qingyuan obviously also understood his old friend's thoughts, and tried not to make trouble for Qinglan on weekdays. But there is no way, there are some things that Tang Dazhang Sect is always worried about when he hands it over to others, even if it is Qingyan! Some secret or related things, if he is not handed over to Qing Lan, Tang Dazhangjiao's heart will be a hundred unsteady.
This trip to the Dark Forest was like that.
Qinglan really couldn't refuse Tang Qingyuan's request, so he had to come with a thousand reluctances, and when he came, he would come, but he would never have imagined that he would be fooled by a junior at his age!
You pleaded with me and said that you would not let this girl participate in the task, and I agreed to you with a soft heart. Then you also instructed me to help you take care of this girl, I am a good person, I admit it. As an elder, I don't mind much when I'm old. But what does it mean for you to turn around and go to the bald head and change into a red robe? You know that the sect is letting you use the identity of the Five Elements Sect to make trouble, but what is the purpose of deliberately disobeying it? What's even more hateful is that you are messing up with those people, and what are you going to do next? Are you still going to destroy the magic circle? Is my old man going to the magic circle to stare at it, or is it here to take care of this girl? Besides, you have fooled me like this, why should I help you take care of your sweetheart? I owe you nothing in my last life?
Qing Lan's mind was all on the side of the God Refining Array, and she also stayed near the God Refining Array most of the time. But he was entrusted to take care of Ye Shuran, so he had to run over every once in a while to take a look.
I have to say that Elder Qinglan is definitely a kind person, so kind that he can make a bad person feel embarrassed and then throw himself to the ground.
But Qian Yang had no other choice, what else could he do if the pit was all pitted? If he knew that Qinglan was such a lovely old man, he would definitely be a little unbearable in his heart. But it's a pity, from Qian Yang's point of view, Qinglan and Tang Qingyuan's villain are a gang, you partner to calculate me, then I can't bear it!
When Qing Lan confirmed Ye Shuran's safety and returned to the God Refining Array, Qian Yang had already changed into a black robe and quietly touched the vicinity.
Looking at the situation around the God Refining Array again, Qian Yang nodded with satisfaction. The scene he had just played was not in vain, he successfully deceived five disciples of the Duobao Sect, and now only Jin Sand and Huo Jian were hiding in the crowd disguised as a loose cultivator on the field.
The results are not only that, Qian Yang even found that Jinsha's location at this time was also a little far away from the God Refining Array, intentionally or unintentionally, which was obviously a decision to seduce someone into the formation!
Since you are all ready, how disappointed you should be if no one comes! Qian Yang swallowed his saliva, the previous ones were all foreplay, and now it is the feature film that is going to start. Qian Yang once again combed through all kinds of information in his heart, confirmed that there was nothing missing, and worshiped the Mantian Immortal Buddha he knew one by one, and finally calmed down his emotions, opened his nostrils and prepared to act: It's a gamble!
Huo Jian hid in the crowd for a while, but his spirit did not relax in the slightest. To say that every successful person must have his reasons for success, and can become a big and small leader, Huo Jian naturally has something that others can't compare, that is, he can complete all the tasks assigned by his superiors with a spirit of one hundred and twenty percent and meticulously. And in the process of completing the task, he can treat himself completely as a tool, rather than as a person with thoughts, personality, flesh and blood.
This kind of selflessness is not only an attitude, but also a pursuit.
A strand of messy hair covered the light in Huo Jian's eyes, and he sat in the direction of the God Refining Array away from Jinsha, motionlessly thinking of himself as a loose cultivator who was subject to action. He knew that if someone was going to attack the circle, they would definitely choose to stay away from the Golden Sands as much as possible, that is, they would choose to appear near his location. And this kind of attack could happen at any time, and he didn't dare to be careless.
Sooner or later, the time will come.
"Huh, it's coming!" Huo Jian's heart moved, and he saw a black shadow jumping down from the high ground and approaching quickly.
The speed of that black shadow was almost at the limit of what a foundation building cultivator could reach, and the whole person carried an indomitable momentum, and the target was undoubtedly the God Refining Array in front of him.
Huo Jian's heart was extremely calm, he didn't move lightly, but squinted as the figure got closer and closer, closer and closer. At the same time, he even saw out of the corner of his eye that the golden sand boy not far away had also slowly got up.
"Closer, closer!" Huo Jian's mouth couldn't help but turn up, as if he had seen the regret and helplessness of someone falling into a trap.
Finally, the black shadow came to the front of the God Refining Array, and it happened to be on Huo Jian's side.
At your fingertips!
The spirit sword in Huo Jian's hand was already ready to go.
It was a spirit sword that had been with him for many years, and if nothing else, this spirit sword should have been with him until he was promoted to Jin Dan. It's just that Huo Jian doesn't know if the credit brought by this spirit sword this time will make it possible for him to eliminate this spirit sword?
The irrelevant reverie was just a fleeting thought, and Huo Jian would never have imagined at this time what would happen to this spirit sword in a while.
"Stay!" Huo Jian shouted.
At the same time as the light flashed in the black-robed man's hand, Huo Jian's whole body spiritual power had already exploded with a stab of the spirit sword.
He couldn't care about the heart-piercing pain in the meridians, it was definitely not a bad thing to make his injury recur at this time, Huo Jian still clearly remembered that what the golden sand boy wanted was just a blow from him!
The moment the spirit sword was shot, Huo Jian saw the eyes of the black-robed man. Even in the midst of this lightning and flint, he had to let out a heartfelt admiration: what a beautiful pair of smiling eyes they were! No wonder even a character like Childe fell in love with it. After today, you should be our son's confinement!
Huo Jian's thoughts involuntarily revealed from his eyes, and goosebumps instantly rose when he saw a certain black-robed man: "Why are you looking at me with such eyes? You were kicked in the head by a donkey!"
