Chapter 224 Taking the Flag
After another half month, the injury healed.
Later I wanted to visit him to say thank you.
The door was blocked by the Taoist boy guarding the door.
Hearing that Master Dongji was out and not in the sect, Ding Xie felt regretful, but there would still be a chance, so he said goodbye and left.
Going further to Dongyuan City, I happened to take advantage of the opportunity to visit Master Chiyun to retrieve the Soul Flag.
When he was packing up his things and leaving, he happened to hear about Fa Feng's punishment of Li Shengli. Si Guo Ya was locked up for three months in order to fulfill his duties. There was no need to go to Si Guo Ya and he only had to stay in the sect to fast.
If you dare to sacrifice your life in times of crisis, you will be rewarded and your merit will be recorded. Disciples with merit will be given priority when appraising the true biography or exchanging with the sect.
The sect will also try its best to treat the injured, and spiritual items and medicinal materials will be discounted based on their grade merit.
As for the deceased, there are also pensions and care for their families.
It's not just a matter of physical and spiritual disappearance after death. Since you have joined the sect, the sect has the responsibility and obligation to make arrangements for these details.
But these have nothing to do with Ding Xie. He is just an ordinary law enforcement disciple. He does not do any work like internal affairs and government affairs. He doesn't know much about many things, and he can only see the surface.
During the foundation building period, you will not be able to access the sect’s decision-making.
Wanfa Sect is not a simple master-disciple inheritance, but a huge sect with a large number of personnel and countless internal affairs disciples, forming a system.
Just like a huge spirit boat, each one has its own division of labor. Ding Xie himself is just an auxiliary cannon on the spirit boat in the foundation-building period. He is only responsible for the main battle. He does not need to think about other things.
If the sect's decision-making was so simple and could be known to the foundation disciples, there would be no secrets for other sects or major forces in the outside world.
Without mystery, others will lose their awe.
…
Boarding the spirit boat again, it took another month to arrive at Dongyuan City.
After paying their respects, Ding Xie said goodbye and left the city.
Master Chiyun was already busy with various affairs in Dongyuan, so he did not stay long.
After seeing the person, he put down the gifts he brought, said a few words and left quickly, so as not to disturb him too much.
The gift is not expensive, it is a special spiritual tea grown by the sect.
Master Chiyun was very satisfied with the gift.
Many of his words reminded Ding Xie to be careful and warned him not to trust others too much.
Although it was referring to Zhang Ran's incident, Ding Xie could also tell that Master Chiyun was still talking about Tu Shanjun.
Even to be friends, both parties need to be of equal strength. Monsters and ghosts are not the rules of ethics and benevolence that no one has practiced, so they might do something evil at some point.
…
After leaving the city, Ding Xie came to the place where the soul flag was hidden.
He was already underground, and the formation of Jindan Zhenren was secret enough that other monks did not find him.
The soul-honoring flag was raised.
Tu Shanjun in the soul banner slowly opened his eyes. Without the support of magic power, he was sitting on wax like a clay sculpture. Even if he achieved the golden elixir, he could only dominate the small world of the soul banner and could not interfere with the outside world.
Of course, if an ordinary person picks up the soul flag by mistake, he may be hit by the evil spirit lingering in the soul flag, which is commonly known as the evil spirit.
After all, the soul flag is a magic weapon that ordinary Qi practitioners cannot use, let alone ordinary people without magic power.
Even if Tushanjun tries his best to restrain himself, the magic weapon itself will still affect the lives of ordinary people.
"Brother Tushan?"
When the sound arrived, Tushanjun also saw the situation outside.
Ding Xie is here.
It's just that the right hand holding the Soul Flag only has four fingers left.
Tushanjun couldn't help but frown.
Datou struggled to pursue the physical body, and even when he learned that the Yinhun Pill sold by Tushanjun could achieve this opportunity, he still resisted the malice in his heart despite the disparity in strength, in order to cultivate the physical body.
Without a physical body, it is like a person crossing the sea of suffering without a boat. No matter how fast he swims, he will eventually run out of strength.
Damage to the hull will also affect the ability to cross the sea.
"Why bother?" Tu Shanjun's expression didn't change much, he just asked as if sighing calmly.
Ding Xie laughed.
Mana poured into the soul flag, and the soul flag suddenly transformed into Zhang Xu Hunter's appearance.
"Brother Tushan thinks I, Ding Xie, can't hold the soul flag with my nine fingers?"
After hearing Ding Xie's words, Tu Shanjun couldn't help but laugh.
My fingers are all falling off, is it time to joke?
That’s all.
Anyway, Mr. Tushan doesn't like to interfere with the banner master's choice, so just let him do it.
On the way back, Ding Xie talked about returning to the sect, and finally settled it smoothly.
It sounded very simple, but Tu Shanjun felt that he had really seen a ghost.
With that kind of approach, can it be called a stable solution?
"Brother Tushan, why are you looking at me like that?"
"I just feel that this world of cultivation is very different from what I first thought." Tu Shanjun shook his head.
He still remembered when he first traveled through time and saw the power of practitioners.
The first impression is of ‘dark forest’, ‘cannibalism’, ‘killing people to seize treasures, cheating and kidnapping’…
Later, when I saw more, I couldn't help but laugh at my lack of knowledge at that time and my random assumptions.
However, this was his first time seeing someone like Ding Xie.
All responsibilities are shouldered by the whole person, as long as he gets hurt, he doesn't even think about whether he should bear it himself.
Perhaps it has something to do with being independent since childhood and developing this kind of defensive and protective personality.
There is nothing to judge about Tushanjun. He also has a bad character, so don't be picky and dislike others.
For Tu Shanjun, the view of good and evil is consistent with his. The banner master who does not stab him is a good banner master. There is no need to meddle in other people's business and he is too lazy to interfere.
I am busy every day, and all aspects of technology need to be studied.
There is no time to pay attention to the mental health of adults. As long as the inner demons are not taking advantage of it, just let him solve it on his own.
"Where's the generous gift from the Wanfa Sect?" Tu Shanjun remembered at this time that Master Chiyun had promised him the Wanfa Sect's gift of thanks.
Now that Ding Xie has been released, I should be able to bring this gift with him.
Ding Xie pretended to be surprised: "Brother Tushan, didn't you help me?"
"One yard owned by a yard."
"I thought Brother Tushan was helping each other with justice and being selfless."
Tu Shanjun sighed, if it weren't for Ding Xie, he would have killed those people in Wanfa Sect.
It has nothing to do with him.
"Don't put your hat on me, I'm very selfish."
When he closed the bamboo slip in his hand, even his expression did not change, which showed that he had developed a thick skin.
Hearing this, Ding Xie smiled. Although Tushanjun looked cold and his words were harsh, he was really reliable.
What should this be called, ‘cold in the face and warm in the heart’?
If you insist on not helping, or if you don't contribute to the work, there is nothing wrong with it, and you may even indirectly cheat him to death.
Tu Shanjun was accustomed to treat others with indifference, and he had long been used to it.
"The token is here, but Brother Tushan needs you to get it yourself."
"I am the scapegoat. How can I make the sect feel so relieved?"
"It is said that he is not guilty, but he is actually being released on bail. In recent years or even more than ten years, he has been on the edge." Ding Xie shrugged.
Verification is a matter of verification, but he and Zhang Ran are indeed close friends, and the sect will definitely be wary of him.
If you don't become a real Jin Dan, you will probably remain on the edge.
It doesn't have much impact, except that the reviews from all aspects, etc., are not in the first batch of reference queues.
Ding Xie had already expected this and accepted it calmly.
Tu Shanjun stretched out his hand to take the token, with a troubled look on his face. There were so many golden elixirs in the Wanfa Sect, as well as the Yuanying Ancestor. He was really afraid of being found out, so how could he go to the Wanfa Sect to ask for them in person.
After all, it is a personal favor, and Wanfa Sect must recognize it and keep it for emergencies.
Tu Shanjun used the check tokens from the third and third levels of his spiritual consciousness, and pinched another index technique. After finding that there was no back trick, he affixed a yellow paper talisman, swallowed it in his belly and kept it.
Ding Xie was stunned as he watched this operation: "This...".
"Be careful when sailing the ten-thousand-year ship." Tu Shanjun said confidently. He did not pretend to be generous and put away the token just because it was given by Ding Xie.
…
A month and a half passed in a flash.
Ding Xie took the spirit boat back and forth and returned to the sect.
He didn't stay too long, but released a small spiritual boat and rushed to Zongmenfang City.
The elixir-forming spiritual object was about to work, and he couldn't wait that long as he was eager to return home.
The speed of Jindan Escape Technique is far faster than that of the spirit boat, but Jindan monks are not cabbage. Once they appear near the sect, they will definitely be stopped and interrogated, and they may even take action.
Even Tu Shanjun could tell without telling Ding Xie that he didn't want to show up in the sect, so there was no need to elaborate on this matter with Tu Shanjun.
The soul flag transformed into a magic weapon, and Tushanjun reached the golden elixir. It was time for him to return to Beiluoshan.
…
Another month of spiritual boat travel.
It was late autumn, and there was a bit of coolness in the wind. The spirit boat landed in Fangshi of Wanfa Sect.
Wanfa Sect disciples wearing black and white robes can be seen everywhere. Most of the property here belongs to Wanfa Sect, and some are affiliated to the family or are practicing as casual practitioners.
The sect has a prescribed distance and can accommodate Fangshi and some small families, but will not allow other sects.
Push aside the clouds and mist and pass through the magic circle of Fangshi.
Fangshi, which was originally shrouded in fog, appeared in front of Ding Xie.
As soon as I settled down, the sounds in my ears suddenly became real, including the cries of small merchants and hawkers, the lively chatter in teahouses and restaurants, the chatter and laughter of walking monks...
The bluestone road under your feet is slightly frosty in late autumn.
The streets are criss-crossed, and along the streets are crowded shops, restaurants, teahouses, restaurants, Goulan gambling stalls, and small residential houses. There are also some marginal shantytowns, where Qi practitioners with low cultivation levels hang out.
It seems that he came at a bad time, just as the city was waking up.
Low-level Qi practitioners can be seen running around everywhere, including many elderly people who don't know what they are seeking at such an old age.
Fireworks for cooking rice burn the firewood and raise clear smoke, and the fragrant rice is tempting to eat.
The spiritual steamer carries the aroma into people's noses.
Stepping through the smoke and dust, across the vast expanse, Ding Xie looked for something to eat.
"Hey, that Taoist priest is handsome, why don't you come and sit down." A graceful beauty sat at the window edge on the second floor, holding a round fan and waving to Ding Xie who was passing by, smiling brightly and with gleaming eyes.
"Who is my sister talking about?"
"Hey, you are still a senior."
As soon as he mentioned senior, several women gathered to stand on tiptoe to take a look.
Ding Xie quickened his pace and left in a hurry, causing the beauties in the pavilion above to laugh again and again.
In this line of work, observing words and demeanor is the basic thing. How could you not see that those are young people who have not experienced this? They just tease and tease them when they have nothing to do. In addition, they are foundation-building seniors, which makes people feel even more accomplished.
Tu Shanjun then sent a message: "Show the majesty of a great monk."
"I just don't want to meet with women."
"I didn't notice it in the past, but I'm still a big lover."
"Go! Go! Go."
After asking about the large spiritual boat heading to Yangcheng, he was told that it would take two months to see it, which made Ding Xie breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it's not half a year. Two months is just a short retreat for the monks.
