Chapter Thirty-Eight: Returning to the Sect at Night
The mountains and forests are silent, and the way home is also very calm. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Occasionally, there were a few distant fights, Jiang Cheng would avoid them in advance, not wanting to mix.
Although his strength is comparable to some of the more powerful outer disciples, there are strong middle hands among the strong, and there are always masters in the nearly 20,000 outer disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and even a small number of them are comparable to the inner disciples.
Jiang Cheng thought to himself that compared with those few people, it was estimated that his internal strength could be on par with the other party, but as for the real fighting methods and martial arts background, they must be too much worse, and they were not the enemy of the same group.
Troubles are all due to strong heads, and troubles are due to more openings.
Jiang Cheng will not provoke trouble that should not be provoked, and he is also a person whose interests are paramount.
The process of completing the task on this trip was very smooth, and he was very satisfied, but only Chiyunshi was a pity after all, and he had never met it on the way back.
However, Jiang Cheng did not force this kind of luck.
Now that you have the courage of the tiger and the poisonous weeds of the heart, you will be considered to have completed the task by handing over these two things to the Hall of Glory.
And he didn't just harvest these two things on this trip, but the trophies, including a few good quality herbs picked on the way, were also good gains.
Maybe go to the Hall of Glory to compare other tasks, and there may be unexpected surprises.
When I actually entered the West Courtyard, it was already late at night.
Jiang Cheng avoided some extremely gloomy and majestic mountains, and carefully came to the foot of Demon Cloud Peak with a package on his back in a low-key manner.
The surrounding hills, each with their own name, are scattered along the mountain and many buildings are built around it.
Among them, there are palaces and mansions, covering a wide area.
Such as the Devil Cow Peak, the shape resembles a bull's head, two mountains are connected, the mountain is steep, just like a pair of horns.
These surrounding peaks are not good land, but are the residence of more than 3,000 disciples of the outer sect in the West Courtyard.
Compared to the Demon Mountain City where the black-clothed disciples stayed, the place where the outer disciples lived was simply heavenly.
At least every outer disciple can sit in a large mansion, and the strong can even live in the palace complex.
Of course, the most iconic is the Black Wind Cliff that surrounds the surrounding mountains like stars and moons.
The terrain of the Black Wind Cliff is extremely dangerous, and there are many dwellings built on the cliff, but most of them are empty.
There are no names in the Black Wind Cliff, and the people who live in it are all inner disciples.
Most of the high-ranking members of several factions in the Western Courtyard stayed on the Black Wind Cliff.
The inner disciples of the West Courtyard are full of calculations, but there are only a few hundred, some of them will be in retreat for a long time, some of them will be outside all the year round, and few will live in the mountains.
However, there are also advantages to those who live in the mountains, at least they can often get the guidance of the master of the Western Courtyard, Da Hai.
As the master of the courtyard, Jiang Cheng is no longer able to measure his skills, but everyone knows that he has a hobby.
He always likes to bring his juniors to practice martial arts, and he never gets tired of it, but the means of carrying him are too ruthless.
He will point out your martial arts shortcomings with a smile and tell you how to improve.
If you can comprehend and understand it quickly, he will explain the new concept of martial arts, but if you can't, he will let you know what it means to be too stupid.
That kind of pain is often tormenting.
His hobbies are weird, but he helps a martial artist a lot.
Therefore, there are still some inner disciples who will often stay in the mountains to do penance.
This kind of disciples are also very terrifying people, they don't often go down the mountain to go out, but they are extremely determined and have an amazing understanding.
Several high-ranking people who are supported by the 'left' faction are all such people.
Of course, this does not include Chen Guangyan's uncle.
At the foot of Moyun Peak, Jiang Cheng carried a bag full of bags and walked along the mountain road.
It is autumn, the mountains are damp and cold, and the sound of cuckoos resounds in the deep mountains and forests from far and near, and sometimes there will be wolves howling and beasts hissing, which makes people's hearts palpitate.
At night, it is the time when the predators go out to kill.
The Heavenly Demon Sect is located in this environment, and the disciples in the sect are naturally often cold-blooded people who often kill.
After nightfall, the Demon Cloud Peak is not quiet, and sometimes there will be some sharp laughter, and the hiss of night owls will be heard in the mountains.
That must be the laughter of some disciples of the Right Sect, and during this time of the night of Demon Cloud Peak, there will only be their laughter.
Jiang Cheng walked between the rugged mountain roads, and his right hand never left the hilt of the sword.
Only those who are always vigilant can survive longer in an environment where danger is always in place.
Jiang Cheng is undoubtedly this kind of person.
However, there is nothing to do along the way, Demon Cloud Peak is not as good as Demon Mountain City, and there are still few black-clothed disciples on the mountain.
As for the outer disciples, it was even more impossible for them to casually set foot in the area of the low-level disciples of Demon Cloud Peak.
Demon Cloud Peak, including Demon Mountain City, is like a novice village, a novice village belonging to the West Courtyard of the Heavenly Demon Gate.
The surrounding peaks where the outer disciples were located were higher-level areas, and the 100,000 Great Mountains were dangerous hunting grounds that everyone could set foot in.
In the hunting grounds of the mountains, you may be a hunter or someone else's prey.
Whether it was Demon Cloud Peak or Demon Mountain City, or the peaks where some of the outer disciples lived in the surrounding areas, they were all shrouded by the sect's formation.
In normal times, the formation of the Heavenly Demon Gate only plays the role of controlling the disciples, similar to camera surveillance.
This may be laughable, the disciples of the Demon Gate are all high-flying and lawless people, what rules does the Heavenly Demon Gate have come up with to control it, isn't this a brain show?
It's certainly not a brain problem.
Although everyone in the Demon Gate pays attention to doing things as they want and is unscrupulous, a huge sect is unruly after all.
This is very contradictory, an extreme conflict in philosophy and management model.
But in this conflict, the superior must also find a balance, and must establish rules and majesty.
This is also a helpless move.
There are too many ruthless murderers in the Guy Demon Gate, and it is not uncommon to kill their fellow disciples.
If it is not controlled, the outer disciples will always secretly go down the mountain to kill some black-clothed disciples, either because they are robbing money, or because they need to practice the exercises, or even more outrageously, just to enjoy the pleasure of killing......
If this continues, order will be chaotic, and it will be difficult for the sect to prosper.
Although the Heavenly Demon Sect pays attention to lawlessness as you like, it also means that your strength is enough to achieve that kind of great freedom realm.
If you don't have that kind of strength, you have to follow the rules set by the strong and be dispatched by the strong.
Otherwise, if a huge sect has no system and is chaotic, how can it sit on this 100,000 mountains and reckless land with abundant resources?
There were bright lights in front of us, and they were very conspicuous in the middle of the night.
That's Sanyanagi-in.
Qingqing was in Sanliu Courtyard at this time.
Since she took over Chen Guangyan's territory, she has become one of the giants of the black-clothed disciple area of the Western Courtyard.
Before leaving that day, Jiang Cheng had already passed on the essence of the head-cutting sword technique to Qingqing.
The head cutting sword technique is a seventh-rate sword technique, and after entering the outer gate, you can learn exercises similar to this level by spending some sect merit points, but that merit point is also very rare.
Jiang Cheng passed on the head-cutting sword technique to Qingqing, which was already a big deal, and this level of kung fu was very precious to some outer disciples.
It's just that the Star Absorbing Great' Fa Jiang Cheng has no intention of passing it on to Qingqing for the time being.
First, even if it is passed on to Qingqing, without the help of the system, with Qingqing's current strength realm, the root bones will not meet the conditions for cultivation.
Second, for a lowly black-clothed disciple, a fourth-rate mental method symbolized not strength, but disaster.
Although he also trusts Qingqing, he does not trust him unreservedly.
The only person who people trust most at any time is themselves, and even the dead cannot be trusted, because the dead can sometimes harm others.
He believed that Qingqing would not harm him, but that was only for now.
It is people who change, and it is interests that change people, and he can only prevent this situation from happening, but he cannot take the initiative to release dangerous signals.
Making the right choice at the right time is the condition for maintaining the relationship of interests.
Making an inopportune move at the right time is not to maintain the relationship of interest, but to take the initiative to draw a rift in this relationship.
That crack is man's greed.
Walking towards the place where the lights of the peck were shining, the two black-clothed disciples waiting at the gate of the courtyard heard the slight footsteps and immediately looked in the direction of Jiang Cheng vigilantly.
This kind of vigilance was only noticed when he was close to five zhang away, and Jiang Cheng couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
He didn't plan to go back to Magic Mountain City, and it wasn't safe to enter the city late at night.
Because during this period of time, the city of Magic Mountain at night was under the jurisdiction of the people of the right faction, and during the day, the right faction would withdraw its men and horses, and it was the turn of the people of the left faction to intervene.
Of course, there are several other small factions, but they are all only vassals under the command of the two major factions on the left and right.
Magic Mountain City is a good place, and it is more lively at night.
Eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling and killing, these five things are indispensable in Magic Mountain City after nightfall, and the same is true in the other three courtyards.
Jiang Cheng was carrying a large package on his back, and he was a celebrity of the leftist faction, and he rashly entered the city late at night, which was equivalent to a famous prostitute who had stripped off his clothes and walked into the bathhouse of a group of men.
The name of his poisonous snake sword is loud, but the louder this head is, the hotter the eyes of others.
It means that everyone knows that the top brand kung fu in the Qinglou is good, and no matter how good your kung fu is, you are afraid of big hanging!
There are many of us together, who can fight to the end will become famous, and under the excitement of the crowd, as long as there is one person to take the lead, it doesn't matter if your kung fu is deep or not.
This is also the rivers and lakes, there is never a shortage of hard-working men with hot blood, knowing that it is death, but for the sake of fame and fortune, many people rush to it.
The two black-clothed disciples who were keeping vigil knew Jiang Cheng, and after seeing Jiang Cheng's face clearly through the not-so-bright light, the two immediately greeted each other attentively.
"Senior Brother Jiang, I'm back so late!"
"Senior Sister Qingqing is still in retreat, and I told you that if Senior Brother comes here, you can go to the West Chamber to rest first, Senior Brother, please come with me. ”
A disciple stammered over and led Jiang Cheng into the courtyard.
Since taking over Chen Guangyan's position, Qingqing has naturally recruited some people, most of whom are disciples who have had some contacts with her but are not very strong.
This kind of person is generally known to her, and she is easy to control.
But it is not really suitable for the cultivation of henchmen, and it is even more difficult to take charge on its own, and it is only suitable for recruiting and filling forces at the initial stage.
