Chapter Seventy-Nine: Murderous Darkness
"What do you need me to do?"
Changning turned around and no longer looked at the jade-like fangs.
This black viper was tempting enough for him, and the timing was just right. Just after the Great War, if he was given some time to retreat and refine, he believed that he would definitely be able to touch the gate of the four steps of the realm.
But he didn't believe that there really was such a benefit in the world that was delivered to his door for no reason.
Having just escaped from the brink of life and death after a careful calculation, Changning had habitually become wary of this apparent coincidence. Before his realm was high enough, the more his Dao heart was pulled by external objects, the more dangerous it became. This truth is also something he has just realized.
Changning believed that Lu Ming would not harm him, but his senior sister's temperament, which was obviously overprotected since childhood, sometimes did inadvertently ignore the dark side of the things in front of him. There are some things that he has to figure out on his own before he can make a decision. If he still has a problem in his heart, he would rather spend more time tempering his body later than bury any unstable factors in his spiritual path.
In the face of Changning's question, Le Yuanjing did not show that kind of hypocritical politeness: "Lejia has always been engaged in the purchase and sale of horses. Looking at a horse is like looking at a person. These six words are disrespectful to say, but if you think about it, the immortal master will definitely not blame. Seeing Changning nodded, Le Yuanjing continued: "The Lejia family and the horse gang have some origins, and I have also heard of some details of the previous world theory......
Changning is clear.
The Ma Gang disciple's conspiracy to assassinate himself who had not been in the school for a long time was naturally just a whetstone on the way forward for Changning, but this did not prevent some people from starting to pay attention to this young disciple of the Sword Shrine who had been unknown before. Even if it is impossible to find out the background of Changning, but soon after the cultivation, he broke through the two-step entry in a row, and there was a sudden attack, and he was able to directly kill one-on-three in the battle of life and death, even considering the fierce reputation of the sword mound itself, it was enough to make people look sideways.
If there is anything close to the horse gang in the horse business, it is really reasonable. In terms of the world, such a heavy loss has occurred on the Mabang group, and it is not surprising that the news of a half-claw leaked to the ears of Lejia.
Recalling the battle at that time, Changning slowly exhaled. He believed that there was nothing wrong with his decision to kill, but that didn't mean that cutting off three lives with his own hands didn't have any psychological pressure on him. In the eyes of others, this is a natural decision of the Sword Shrine disciples, but Changning is actually not happy about it.
But now is not the time to reflect on that. Changning silently recited the Heart Sutra of Wuding Temple, waved away the discomfort caused by the scene at that time, and then asked, "Le Gongzi wants to borrow my sword?"
Changning said the word "I" instead of "Sword Mound", which was the meaning he heard from Le Yuanjing's words. It is impossible for a small family to hold the thigh of the Sword Shrine, and it does not even have the strength to invite a high-level cultivator who has already moved the side. The usual way to do this is to look for low-level cultivators who have just emerged but lack sufficient resources to initiate, as is the case with Lejia, and then place a bet. If the world knows the fame, the family can naturally be sheltered by it, of course, if it is gone, then at least it can fight for a good name.
Le Yuanjing calmly looked at Changning's eyes and replied: "In the early years, the Lejia got a good horse by chance, and the grade was so high that it was unprecedented. This horse was picked up by a senior of the horse gang and bought it back to his junior as a mount. Later, the senior also took care of Lejia, and every few years there would always be orders for horses. However, after the world talks, the horse gang seems to have something going on inside, and the senior who took care of the horse gang also died in this accident...... Lejia's own strength is limited, whether it wants to repay the kindness of that senior, or to survive the next open and dark battle, it needs a strong backer. ”
"So you think that I, who appeared in the caravan accident, can be this backer?"
Le Yuanjing touched his nose, and then said as if he had mustered up courage: "In any matter, the appearance of a certain name will not be meaningless. Roca didn't get any more information from the caravan, and in fact, the caravan didn't leak anything superfluous other than your name. Therefore, Lejia is willing to believe that the word Changning is the greatest significance of the Mabang's accident. ”
This speculation is really not convincing. ”
"Le's willingness to believe is enough. ”
"Actually, I'm not as valuable as you think. Changning is not modest, he does think so.
"No, it's high. Then Le Yuanjing thought about it, and then said: "After the matter of the Chen family, the Le family is willing to put all his net worth on the immortal master. ”
For any ordinary cultivator who is still in the realm of the human ringbone, this is an extremely heavy commitment. Except for the few lucky people who have been cultivated by great forces themselves or who are born with supreme qualifications and are cared for by the sect, being able to get such a promise from a prosperous family means that there is at least one more stable source of all kinds of materials needed for cultivation.
But for Changning, this is far from the case. He knows a lot of things that Lejia doesn't know, and for the real top forces in this world, he is like cannon fodder. What is really hidden behind the stirring is his pair of fierce fathers and mothers, who seem to have poked out a big basket.
And the more I experienced, the more I could feel an invisible pressure slowly and heavily, making me more and more breathless.
Lejia will put down all his net worth, and I am afraid that he will end up losing nothing.
So Changning shook his head slowly.
Le Yuanjing's expression showed a little stunned, and even Le Dangjia, who had been standing calmly on the side, couldn't have been more obvious and unbelievable. However, he was very happy, so Yuanjing calmed down and laughed at himself: "It's the musician who is in a hurry." The immortal master is young and promising, and it is indeed not something that Lejia's current foundation can offer. Speaking of which, it's a bit of wishful thinking. ”
"I'm not going to be an enshrinement of Lejia, but the reason is not what you understand. Changning explained.
"I want to hear about it. ”
"Where do black vipers come from?"
"It was given by the caravan to commend the contribution of the musicians over the years. When the horse gang encounters this change, I am afraid that there will be a period of time when the horses will not be collected, this beast's tooth is regarded as a fixed amount for the next ten years, and if there are good horses, they will be temporarily kept on behalf of the horse gang, and they will be collected after the matter is settled. ”
"You need to find a new offering, so that after the accident of the caravan, the Lejia will lose its backer and the family will fall into the middle of the road, which is also what the caravan reminded you?"
"Not bad. One of the elder's descendants came and told him something, and there was such a reminder...... How did the immortal master guess?" Le Yuanjing suddenly noticed something inappropriate, and his back couldn't help but break out in a layer of cold sweat.
"Then something happened to the Chen family, and then you heard the name that the caravan had mentioned, right? The Lejia family wanted to find an offering, but it had not been rising for a long time, and there was nothing to show for it, so the black viper tusks given by the caravan came in handy. ”
“...... Not bad. Le Yuanjing almost squeezed these two words out between his teeth. Even if you are a dull person, you can almost guess that from the beginning, this black viper tooth was probably prepared for Changning.
"The calculations between cultivators are simpler and more direct than those between ordinary people, but they are also impossible to prevent. You don't know what happened to the caravan, but I do. I am afraid that the descendants of the so-called elder who came to you are no longer his own...... This snake tooth is weird, get rid of it as soon as possible, or you may find trouble for no reason. ”
After saying this, Changning did not linger anymore. He actually has a good impression of Le Yuanjing, but I'm afraid that if he continues to make friends, it will be difficult to ensure that Lejia will not be used by people with intentions. If you are not a cultivator, your eyes will always be blinded.
It might be better to leave it at that.
