The poem says:

Prosperous like flowers, simple like trees in autumn. There are means to fight and pull, and there are many power schemes. The sea has never overflowed, and the small river is easy to rise. Tianxin is unpredictable, and the idea of the sect is difficult to investigate.

- Xiao Shi said, and at that time, when the Nine Elders were on the way to the dungeon, they heard the words of the sect leader Lei Ren, so they said to Qin Dong:

"Qin Protector, you have also heard, the sect master arranged for Xinjing to replace me and take charge of the six cities in the northeast, Xinjing has already had a conflict with my apprentice Li Shijian, and this contradiction has not really been resolved; ”

Qin Dong heard this, and said, "Elder Guan, if it's not a brother, I won't help you, your current situation is that the mud bodhisattva crosses the river, so let's think about saving yourself first." ”

When the Ninth Elder heard this, he was angry in his heart, but he held back, and begged again: "Protector Qin, please inform Shi Jian, let him have a guard in his heart, this is not a big deal, please help me!"

Qin Dong said: "Ninth Elder, it's not that my brother won't help you, Li Shijian's qualifications, everyone knows that the sect master has his own considerations, and there is no intention of the sect master, how can I report to your master and apprentice?"

When the Ninth Elder heard this, he unconsciously sighed in his heart: "Alas, there are no eggs under the nest, Shijian, you have to ask for more blessings!"

Here, Qin Dong escorted the Nine Elders to the dungeon of the main altar, and above the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion over there, the Master of the Heart Mirror said goodbye to the sect master Lei Ren, and went to the Qitang with Tang Rong to settle the recent affairs, and waited for Hu Lagos to rush from Wanfang City to the main altar.

Before Tang Rong left, he said to Sect Master Lei Ren: "Sect Master, what Elder Guan gave me just now was a six-grade Dao Instrument New Style Ding, this kind of Ding, I can't refine it myself, with this Ding, I guarantee that the magic weapon refined in the future will be on a higher level!"

In the past, the best magic weapon I refined was only the Eight-Rank Dao Weapon Hundred Beast Diagram, I thought, using this tripod to try again, maybe I could promote that Hundred Beast Diagram to a Nine-Grade Dao Weapon!"

As soon as Tang Rong said this, Lei Ren was moved at that time, so he said to the Master of the Heart Mirror: "Elder Heart Mirror, you go to the Qi Hall to hand over the formalities first, Tang Hall Master, you stay first, and go a little later." ”

Tang Rong said "yes" and stayed.

After the heart mirror went, Tang Rong said: "Sect Master, no matter what, Elder Guan can give me such a good tripod, which is also a great contribution to our Ming Sect, and I also ask the Sect Master to be merciful and forgive the Nine Elders once." ”

Hearing this, Lei Ren waved his hand and said, "You all retreat, Elder Zong, Elder Si, Elder Tang, the three of you stay." ”

So all the Dharma Protectors and others retreated, and in the main hall, only Lei Ren, Zong Ken, Si Mingqiu and Tang Rong were left.

Only then did Lei Ren say, "Elder Tang, what you said also has some truth. In front of Jiaxiu Mountain, I was forced to make an alliance with the dervishes under the city, although this is considered to represent the reconciliation between our Mingzong and him, but Guan Mingjing made a private friendship with the dervishes, this kind of behavior cannot go unpunished!

Although he provided such a tripod, although it is a credit, there are still some things that must be interrogated clearly: where did he get such a good tripod?"

Elder Tang said with a smile: "Sect Master, if you have made a mistake, ask Elder Guan where this tripod came from, Elder Guan should not hide it." ”

Lei Ren smiled and glanced outside, but saw that it was quiet outside the main hall gate, and the Dharma Protector disciples on duty in the small square of the hall gate were all standing upright.

Lei Ren retracted his gaze, and then said, "Elder Tang, you don't know something! Elder Zong, Elder Si, you two also have to be careful what I say. ”

Zong Ken and Si Mingqiu both said "yes!" After saying "yes", Zong Ken added: "Sect Master, Elder Guan is in the sect, and his reputation is good, so I hope that Sect Master will be cautious." ”

Lei Ren's voice sounded leisurely, as ethereal as in the fog of five miles, only to hear him say: "Punish the elder Guan, I naturally know that it is not appropriate to be severe, based on his prestige in the sect, after all, dealing with it harshly is easy to cause turmoil in the hearts and minds of the people in the sect——

However, I have two considerations for this: on the one hand, I consider that Lao Jiu and Lao Shi are now fighting openly and secretly, which is just convenient for me to control.

On the other hand, because one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, I have to be prepared in advance.

Guan Mingjing, although there are only two masters and apprentices, if Li Shijian grows up, it must not be simple.

Now that the Ten Elders Yu Ion is in the first vein, Yu Ion has already received a lot of disciples, coupled with the strength of the person in the Heart Mirror, his vein is faintly the first in the sect!

Who will succeed me as the suzerain in the future, it seems that the heart mirror has more potential than the poetry sword. But if you don't suppress Guan Mingjing and Li Shijian, I'm afraid that the Ten Elders and the Master of the Heart Mirror will make a difference!

You may not have paid attention, now the strength of the Heart Mirror is no less than that of this sect master! According to my observation, Yu Ion is very interested in pushing the Heart Mirror to be the next sect master, if I don't suppress Guan Mingjing and Li Shijian, then in the future, the transfer of power to the sect master of my Ming Sect is very likely to be bloody!"

When Zong Ken heard this, he asked, "Sect Master, according to this, you have already decided that the successor Sect Master is Elder Heart Mirror, are we going to give up cultivating that Li Shijian?"

"Yes, ah no! I have decided that the heir is the mirror of the heart, but Li Shijian still has to be cultivated. When the time comes to go to the ancient realm, the bone age of the heart mirror may not be suitable, his apprentice Hu Lagos, who has the spirit of a python, can be regarded as a good seedling, but we didn't find out what bronze mirror space was hidden by the heart mirror snow earlier, so he started a little late in cultivation.

I arranged for Xinjing to take over as the head of the six cities in the northeast, and it happened to keep him away from the power center of the sect, and let him go there to cultivate Hulags.

As for Li Shijian's arrangement, I think so, Elder Zong, you go one step ahead of the Heart Mirror, go to Ming Jing City, and bring him to the main altar, and you will inform you that Ming Jing City will be renamed Heart Mirror City from now on, and the new director will be Elder Heart Mirror!"

Lei Ren said so much in one breath, Zong Ken and Si Mingqiu finally understood the sect master's considerations, but the two of them sighed secretly in their hearts:

This sect master is not easy to be, since he is already optimistic that the first line of Yu Ion is stronger than the first line of Guan Ming Jing, why should he cultivate Li Shijian again? Is it to balance the power of the two veins to a certain extent?

If it is out of such considerations, then the Ten Elders One Pulse is equivalent to sitting on the six cities in the northeast and six cities in the southwest, who else in this sect can resist the Yu Ion One Pulse?

Providence is always difficult to ask, don't guess the sect master's thoughts!

Zong Ken immediately rushed to the six cities in the northeast to act, arrived in Mingjing City, announced the order of the sect master, and then met Li Shijian.

Zong Ken said: "Shijian, Elder Guan is at the main altar, and the sect master asked me to pick you up and take you to the main altar." ”

When Li Shijian heard this, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

However, at this time, Li Shijian was only secretly careful, and he had no choice but to come to the Mingzong General Altar with Zong Ken.

When he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Li Shijian followed Zong Ken to see Sect Master Lei Ren.

Lei Ren said: "Shijian, your master has violated the teachings of this sect master and befriended bandits, and he has been imprisoned. This is the punishment of this sect master for him, but don't worry, this sect master will not connect you because of your master's mistake!

You are still the key cultivation object of my Ming Sect, and within three years, the sect master will still lead the people of this sect to the Western Wilderness Snow Region for you, and destroy the snow demon for you. You are still tasked with picking the Phantom Soul Lotus Seeds for your sect to enter the Ancient Realm realm!From today onwards, your cultivation will be in the hands of the Sect Elder, understand?"

When Li Shijian heard this, he said at the time: "Thank you for the cultivation of the sect master, I want to go and see my master first!"

Lei Ren said with a smile: "Yes, the first thing that comes to mind in my heart is the master, this is the way of respecting the master; Elder Zong, you will take Shijian to see Elder Guan now!"

Zong Ken said "yes" and took Li Shijian to the dungeon.

After the two left, Lei Ren said to Si Mingqiu: "Elder Si, in the future, we must keep a close eye on Li Shijian, and we must be loose on the outside and tight on the inside! My idea is that through these three years, I want him to finally recognize Xinjing as the heir of the sect master, and he is willing to bow his head and be convinced.

Otherwise, in the future, if Xinjing really succeeds the sect master, he may be a mess, and I don't want to see this happen. I don't want to kill the good seedlings of this sect in my hands. ”

Si Mingqiu only understood at this time that the sect master had the intention to let the Master of the Heart Mirror inherit his position as the sect master, and he wanted to suppress Elder Guan and Li Shijian, so that their master and apprentice could finally accept this!

Li Shijian, Li Shijian, whether your master and apprentice can live in peace in the future depends on you, if you have any changes, I am afraid that the sect master will kill you first!

Although Si Mingqiu figured out this section, he wouldn't say it if he was rotten in his stomach.

At that time, Si Mingqiu said with a smile: "The sect master thinks about the long-term of this sect, I understand, please rest assured!"

Lei Ren said with a smile: "A powerful sect master can bring out a powerful sect. I've been observing the heart mirror for a few days, and he, that is, he is very hostile to the dervish monk and Li Shijian, and there is nothing bad about others and this sect, and the strength of the heart mirror is far better than Li Shijian!"

Si Mingqiu said with a smile: "What the sect master has seen is extremely true!"

Lei Ren smiled again, "There is one more matter, when the sect elder comes back, the three of us will discuss it again." ”

Half an hour later, Zong Ken returned, and Li Shijian followed behind him. Lei Ren smiled: "Shijian, you are still the same as you were in the main altar before." As for your cultivation place, it turned out that the main altar was given to your master's small building where you lived alone, and it will be given to you to live in the future. ”

Speaking of this, Lei Ren said again, "Elder Zong, you get out of the way and come over and lead Shijian to go." ”

After Li Shijian went with him, Lei Ren said, "Elder Zong, Elder Si, let's discuss something next." ”

"What's the matter?" asked Zongken.

"Some time ago, the empire requisitioned my Mingzong Tang Elder and the Ling Jun Hall Master of the Array Hall to go to the imperial capital Shenjing, I entrusted Elder Tang to keep an eye on Ling Jun and observe his every move, and sure enough, Ling Jun fell to his so-called master Mo Yi-

I suspect that someone in this sect leaked the news of this sect's refining space magic weapon to the imperial capital, but it was actually leaked by Ling Jun!"

When Zong Ken and Si Mingqiu heard this, they were both angry and demanded to take down Ling Jun.

Lei Ren said with a smile, "No need, Ling Jun has now become a double-sided secret agent, and he also inquired about the news that the empire wants to study and refine the 'Moling Immortal Mansion' for this sect, and has obtained first-hand useful information for this sect." This can be regarded as a great merit, so if you know about Ling Jun, you should only be on guard in secret, and you should not startle the snake!"

Zong Ken and Si Mingqiu both said: "Understood, we will follow the arrangement of the sect master!"

Lei Ren said again: "I think, according to the available information, our Mingzong has also started to study and refine this kind of immortal mansion, and it must be developed within two years, I will be of great use." ”

When Zong Ken heard this, he asked, "How does the sect master plan to use it?"

Lei Ren said with a smile: "That Ancient Realm realm, I have never been to it once, if we refine this kind of immortal mansion magic weapon, when the time comes, I will hide in the immortal mansion and let the disciples of this sect bring it in, it should be possible." ”

Zong Ken said in surprise: "After entering like this, it is impossible to predict what will happen there, Sect Master, you are too risky, right?"

Lei Ren said with a smile: "Anyway, the matter of refining the Immortal Mansion must be kept secret and fast! Also, Elder Zong, I just told Elder Si about secretly monitoring Li Shijian, and by the way, I will also inform you."

Later, you go to the Qitang to discuss this matter with Elder Tang, and I'll go and see Guan Mingjing first!"
