Chapter 55: Giving Benefits?
Ye Wen's face was not ugly, because the information revealed in Shen Gongbao's words made Ye Wen think of a worse possibility.
As the saying goes, nothing is done, but it is either a traitor or a thief!
Ye Wen asked himself if the Shushan faction was not strong enough to make the Jade Emperor cautious, but what Shen Gongbao said this time obviously revealed a message, that is, the Jade Emperor attached great importance to the Shushan faction, and would even help the Shushan faction solve some troubles, so that the Shushan faction could develop smoothly!
"For what?"
At the beginning, Ye Wen was a little confused, and even thought that the Jade Emperor and his nephew had already had a conflict, and after learning that Yang Jian valued his Shushan faction, he wanted to win over the Shushan faction?
But immediately he felt that this idea was too unreliable, after all, for Heavenly Court, the Shushan faction was not worth it for them to rebel at all, if the Jade Emperor really had irreconcilable contradictions with Yang Jian, then finding a way to destroy the Shushan faction was the easiest choice - Ye Wen believed that Heavenly Court had enough strength to bring down the Shushan faction without Yang Jian's knowledge.
In this way, the original speculations were all rejected, and Ye Wen could only consider the problem from other angles, while chatting with Shen Gongbao about some non-nutritious topics, Ye Wen wanted to find some clues from Shen Gongbao's words.
He found this Shen Gong Leopard very interesting, although he came on behalf of Heavenly Court, but he didn't know what the purpose was, and his words would reveal some information intentionally or unintentionally.
Coupled with what he did before, Ye Wen was already sure that this Shen Gongbao did it on purpose, rather than accidentally revealing his mouth, and this discovery made Ye Wen even more confused.
After Shen Gongbao said for a while, he went straight down to rest, Ye Wen still sat in the distance and did not move too much, his mental thoughts kept turning, and the appearance of bowing his head and contemplation made Xu Xian and the others dare not open their mouths to disturb, so they could only sit aside and accompany them.
"What exactly does Heavenly Court mean?"
After thinking about it for a long time, he still had no clue, Ye Wen only felt that his brain was hurting, Xu Xian saw his senior brother sad on the side, and said: "Senior brother, why is it so entangled, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth!"
Ye Wen smiled bitterly: "Where is it so easy?"
But after thinking about it, what Xu Xian said was not unreasonable, if Heavenly Court really wanted to engage in any conspiracy, the Shushan faction would not be able to parry it no matter what!
At least for now, whether it is Heavenly Court or Yang Jian, they are selling well to the Shushan faction, since they don't understand what they are trying to do, then it is better to make good use of the benefits they can get first, and concentrate on developing themselves strongly.
"As long as your own strength goes up, then you don't have to worry about any conspiracy in the Heavenly Court! After all, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are floating clouds!"
It's a pity that although there is a clear distinction between the strength and weakness between the current Shushan faction and Heavenly Court, the strong side is Heavenly Court, not the Shushan faction! This situation makes Ye Wen very headache.
"I don't know if the conspiracy that Heavenly Court is going to carry out this time will leave us enough time!"
Ning Ruxue calculated: "In a few months, our Shushan faction will be able to have a few more earth immortals, plus a few of them, the strength is not too bad! It's just that at present, we lack a celestial-level master to support the scene, if the senior brother can break through as soon as possible, then it will be much easier to deal with difficulties when facing difficulties." ”
Ye Wen didn't know what Ning Ruxue said, didn't he just work hard to cultivate for this reason in the past few days? It's just that he didn't expect that his strength hadn't improved much, and Heavenly Court had sent someone. Fortunately, Wen Tianzun came here only to 'investigate', and it is estimated that even if there is any plan, it will not be implemented until Wen Tianzun completes his investigation and goes back to report to the Jade Emperor.
"Then, let's wait for that Wen Zhong to come first!"
After some discussion, nothing was discussed, and in the end, they could only disperse and wait quietly for Wen Zhong's arrival!
And only five days later, Wen Zhong led a few Lei Ministry's officials and a few entourage soldiers to Shushan, the pomp was not big, and it didn't look as exaggerated as Ye Wen when he went out, but that bearing was indeed extraordinary.
Wen Zhong just stopped there, he didn't need to report his name, Ye Wen from a distance could know by feeling that this person was the person he was waiting for, even if Wen Zhong's clothes were not much more gorgeous than some of the small officials accompanying him, but the momentum he exuded was really hard to ignore.
Although Wen Zhong's cultivation is not high, Ye Wen almost saw in his first eyes that Wen Zhong's strength was even inferior to his own, and there were a few people in the Shushan faction who were stronger than this Wen Tianzun, but Ye Wen did not dare to underestimate this person at all, and if he really made a move, Ye Wen did not dare to say that he would definitely be able to win this Wen Tianzun.
"Ye Wen, the head of the Lower Shu Mountain Sect, heard that Tianzun came on behalf of Heavenly Court, and he came to greet him!"
Said to be greeting, but in fact it was just waiting in the main court, after Wen Zhong led the people to fall from the front of Shu Mountain, Ye Wen only stepped forward a few steps to make a gesture of greeting after being introduced into the sect by the disciples who guarded the door.
It's not that he Ye Wen is arrogant, it's just that although his Shushan faction is in the immortal realm, it really doesn't have too much to do with the heavenly court! Not to mention his Shushan faction, the attitude of the entire immortal world towards the heavenly court is actually similar -- not much different from the separatist side, on the surface, he regards the heavenly court as orthodox, and supports the rule of the heavenly court over the immortal world.
Even if there is such a relationship between Heavenly Court and the Immortal Family Sect, although Ye Wen is very jealous of Heavenly Court, there is no need to make a subordinate posture.
Ye Wen, who had already made up some common sense in the fairy world, also liked this situation very much, otherwise if he just saw the messenger from the heavenly court, he would have to kneel and kowtow and add some kind of big gifts, in that case, he would rather move the Shushan faction overseas! He couldn't stand this, fortunately, the situation in the fairy world was not so bad, and even some relatively powerful sects, even if the heavenly court sent messengers, they were still on the weak side, not only could they not put the score, but they also had to be respectful and careful with the heads of those big factions.
Ye Wen really hopes that he can get that kind of treatment, but now, he still needs to continue to work hard!
What made him happier was that Wen Zhong was quite polite to him, and when he saw Ye Wen coming out, he immediately hurried a few steps and hugged his fists and saluted: "Master Ye! After saying that, he paused, and then looked around, as if he was looking at the Shushan faction: "If the head of Ye has any difficulties, even if he mentions it, as long as he can do his best, he will definitely try his best to help your faction solve it!"
When Ye Wen heard this, he just smiled and said nothing, and then led Wen Zhong forward first, but he secretly said in his heart: "No wonder that Shen Gongbao dared to reveal some information when he spoke, it turns out that these things are not intended to be hidden from me at all!"
Shen Gongbao dared to say that Ye Wen could still think that the general of the water had something in his heart, but Wen Zhong also said so, then Ye Wen could only think that the other party was not afraid that he would be able to guess his purpose, and people just recognized it, even if your Shushan faction knew, you could only stand there obediently, who told you that your strength was not good?
This feeling is really aggrieved, so although Ye Wen greeted Wen Zhong with enthusiasm on the surface, his tone of voice still changed a little.
Wen Zhong naturally noticed it, but he didn't care, he just talked with Ye Wenpan enthusiastically, the two of you are so unhappy that I say it one by one, I don't know that these are two close friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, and they suddenly greeted each other non-stop!
Only a few people from the Shushan faction knew that Ye Wen was just acting at all, and it was estimated that the head of his family had already wished that this group of people would get out of here.
It's a pity that Wen Zhong and the others have only arrived, and they are indeed here to see the situation of the Shushan faction, so naturally they will not leave as soon as they come, after Wen Zhong chatted with Ye Wen for a while, he proposed to go around, and even asked if the Shushan faction had the ability to refine magic weapons and pills on its own!
The topic turned to the formation intentionally or unintentionally, and Ye Wen quickly noticed that this Wen Zhong seemed to care very much about the Shushan faction's mountain protection array-the Kyushu Mountain Protection Formation that Ye Wen urged out with the Kyushu Ding, and its subtlety and strength were that he didn't dare to underestimate it in the Heavenly Court.
"Your faction's mountain protection array is wonderful, but it's a pity that it's too peaceful!"
While walking, Wen Zhong looked up and looked around, Ye Wen noticed that the divine eyes in the center of his eyebrows kept blinking, and there was a faint divine light coming out, thinking that this Wen Tianzun was observing his own mountain protection array with his own divine eyes.
As for the formation in his mouth is too peaceful, it refers to the formation of the Shushan faction can only be passively defensive, and has no ability to counterattack at all, although this formation is extremely exquisite, but if you really have to rely on the Shushan faction to resist a strong enemy, this formation is not enough, if the Shushan faction has a stronger formation, it will be better.
How could Ye Wen not know the shortcomings of his own formation? It's just that he can't refine all of the Kyushu Ding, maybe after he refines the entire Kyushu Ding, this mountain protection array will be able to produce new changes? At present, he can only rely on this protective formation, even if he wants to change it, he can't.
When Wen Zhong asked, he could only deal with it casually twice, and finally said: "If the four seas are peaceful under the rule of the court today, I can't even see a few people at night, so I can't use such a strong formation, as long as I can protect my own mountain gate!"
It seems that his Shushan faction is kind-hearted and can't bear to hurt innocents, so he only uses such a passive mountain protection array, not that his Shushan faction does not have a large array that can kill the enemy at all. It's like this, and I don't want people to underestimate their own sect and fool this matter at the same time.
It's a pity that Wen Zhong cares about this matter, how can he easily give up this topic? After saying two more useless things, the conversation turned back and forth to this formation: "Your faction has the extreme western borderland, to the northwest is the Olympus God Clan, to the southwest is the Western Heavenly Buddha Kingdom, that is not under the rule of the Heavenly Court, this side of the realm is the place where the three forces meet, the chaos is incomparable, your faction is better to be careful!"
"The Western Heavenly Buddha Kingdom has been friendly with the Heavenly Court for generations, how can they come here to create a disagreement?Then the Olympus Protoss has just been repelled by the Heavenly Court army, and they can't recover for a while, so there is no need to worry too much!"
"That Olympus Protoss is extremely warlike, and it has been fighting with my Heavenly Court army from time to time for thousands of years, and the Ye Zhangmen Mountain Gate happens to be within the scope of the battlefield, this ......"
Two of the three sentences are all about starting a war, how should your Shushan faction deal with it? Ye Wen listened for a while, and finally understood what this Heavenly Court was planning.
"These guys are watching to see if this faction can withstand the attack of a certain force?"
It's not that Ye Wen's mind is not flexible enough to think of this reason! In fact, he didn't think about it in this way from the beginning! He has always thought psychologically that once a foreign clan comes to attack, Yang Jian's army will be the main force to deal with the enemy! Even if his Shushan faction participates in the war, it is a soy sauce character.
At most, it would play a more important role in the early stage of the war, but that would not allow the Shushan faction to run into the enemy's main force -- to support it to death would be to run into a vanguard force.
However, the information revealed in and out of Wen Zhong's words was obviously to let the Shushan faction parry one side of the force alone, and there was no mention in his words that the Heavenly Court would send a large army to help.
"Damn, does Heavenly Court want to borrow a knife to kill people?"
But after thinking about it, I understand that Heavenly Court doesn't seem to need to cheat himself like this, after all, his Shushan faction has almost no intersection with Heavenly Court, and he has no personal vendetta with the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor can't make it difficult for him.
Therefore, the only explanation is that Heavenly Court is going to make a move against a certain force in the surrounding area, and Yang Jian may be withdrawn as the main force of Heavenly Court's troops, so this western frontier will become very fragile for a period of time, and whether the Shushan faction can defend this side determines whether Heavenly Court's plan can succeed......
"Perhaps, Heavenly Court is planning to make my Shushan faction cannon fodder, even if the whole faction is destroyed, I will hold on until I kill a certain enemy, and then return to the army to rescue ......"
As soon as he thought about the key part, it was like the blocked river channel was dredged in an instant, and the ideas kept popping up like a flood bursting down the embankment, and Ye Wen instantly understood what kind of idea the Jade Emperor had in mind.
"Could it be that the Heavenly Court is tired of being tossed by the gods of Olympus, and is ready to attack?"
In this way, it means that Ye Wen will rely on the strength of his faction to defend against the possible attack of the Western Heaven Buddha Realm, but considering that the Western Heaven Buddha Realm has always wanted to develop its forces to the Eastern Immortal Continent, they will definitely not give up such an opportunity, so they will almost definitely launch an attack on the Shushan faction, can he Shushan faction parry it now?
The Peacock Daming King alone is enough to kill Ye Wen, and then there is no Ming King or something, the Shushan faction is afraid that the whole faction will be wiped out immediately, what can he resist?
Cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead, but Wen Zhong on the side seemed to be unconscious, just slowly walking through the Shushan faction, looking around along the way, occasionally talking to Ye Wen and asking a few questions.
After visiting the Herb Pavilion, Wen Zhong saw that there were only some ordinary medicinal herbs in the Shushan Sect, and there were almost no pills used in the fairy world - boiled eggs were used as breakfast, Guben Dan was used as dinner, and Li Xiaoyao never kept inventory, how many were made into jelly beans, so there were only some ordinary herbs in the Herb Pavilion.
This situation made Wen Zhong also feel that it was not appropriate, and immediately said: "After I go back, I will communicate with the Jade Emperor to understand the difficulties of your faction, send some people to bring a batch of good pills to your faction, and by the way, provide a batch of alchemy equipment!"
Ye Wen didn't care much about the good elixir! On the contrary, it was the alchemy equipment that shocked Ye Wen's spirit - it seems that this Jade Emperor is also exquisite, although he has the intention of making the Shushan faction cannon fodder, but it is not the kind that he ignores, and he still has to give the Shushan faction some benefits.
Although I don't know if it's the last dinner, but the benefits are the benefits, and the Shushan faction really needs these things, so Ye Wen naturally has no reason to push them out.
The alchemy tools used by the Shushan faction today are all very rough things, and even the dings used in alchemy are just ordinary products, which are not magic weapons at all, and if you want to refine a good pill in the fairy world, in addition to superb technology and complete ingredients, this instrument is also very important.
Ye Wenwen planned to wait for the technology of the Instrument Pavilion to improve, and make some alchemy utensils for the Herb Pavilion to use, but he didn't expect that Heavenly Court was now preparing to send him a batch, which was naturally excellent, so Ye Wen bowed his hand and thanked him, and at the same time, he began to wonder if he could extort some good things out?
When he visited the Instrument Pavilion, Wen Zhong didn't say anything, but he was very interested in the light bulbs installed in the large courtyard of the Shushan Sect Ware Pavilion, and even asked if this thing could be installed in the Heavenly Court?
"In addition to the night pearl, the night lighting in the heavenly court is an ordinary light candle, which not only needs to be carefully guarded, but also far less bright than this thing!"
Wen Zhong pointed to the light bulb, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was a good thing.
To say that in the heavenly court, although there are treasures such as the Night Pearl used for lighting, but the Night Pearl is used by everyone? There are only a few people who can really enjoy this kind of treatment, such as the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West, and he Wen Zhong still uses ordinary fire candles, and that thing is indeed not as convenient as the light bulb in front of him.
In addition, there was nothing in the Artifact Pavilion that Wen Zhong cared about, and Wen Zhong's only evaluation of the Artifact Pavilion was to ask Ye Wen: "Why do the disciples of your sect refining magic weapons not focus on weapon talisman magic weapons, but instead delve into those strange things?"
Ye Wen had to say embarrassedly: "This sect does not force disciples to study anything, I think that only by giving them enough freedom can they give full play to the talents of these disciples!"
Wen Zhong was also quite impressed by what he said, but he didn't know that Ye Wen was just an excuse that he had worked hard to think of, in fact, because these disciples of the Shushan Sect couldn't make a good magic weapon at all, so let them toss it first and have the right to practice!
When the craftsmanship comes up in the future, Ye Wen has a magic weapon waiting for them to refine, not to mention the copycat version of the Ziying Sword that was summoned earlier, in the past two days, Ye Wen has also summoned an inferior version of the blueprint of the Turning the Sky, the grade and power are much weaker than the cottage Ziying Sword, but it is also easy to refine, Ye Wen has already considered making this thing in large quantities, and equipping it with the disciples first.
