Chapter 348 Cause and effect, cycle, birth and death.

Canglan Sect.

Gao Ce looked at Li Zhi, who was sitting high in front of him, and his face became extremely embarrassed, but in the end he still stepped forward to salute without stiffness.

"Senior brother!"

"Um!"

Li Zhi looked at Gao Ce among the row of outer disciples who were saluting him, and felt very emotional in his heart.

When I met Gao Ce before, I wanted to call him senior brother. Who would have thought that in just a few days, I would suddenly change and become an inner disciple, so I would call him senior brother instead of Gao Ce.

There are arenas all over this place. It is the assessment venue for the outer sect disciples to enter the inner sect. The elders of the Canglan Sect preside over it. The outer sect disciples go to the arena to compete. The inner sect disciples act as referees and stop the situation in time when the winner is determined between the two sides. The competition ensures that no one will be killed during the competition.

This job requires extremely high requirements for the referee's vision and strength, because the referee has a large degree of independent judgment. Therefore, before every competition, the outer disciples will fawn over the inner disciples who are responsible for refereeing. Fan.

Don't ask for favoritism, just be fair and selfless.

Originally, such a good thing would not happen to Li Zhi, a new disciple of the inner sect, but who made him receive such an exceptional promotion? He was the only person in the Canglan Sect within a hundred years, and he was also pregnant A great creation like Xuding is favored by the great elder.

He suddenly became a celebrity among the inner sect. There was an endless stream of people coming to meet and visit him in the past two days, and even this kind of fat position fell on him.

And this qualification was given to him by someone else on his own initiative. He saw that this task was convenient and simple, and it didn't take much time, so he accepted it.

There are two interesting things in it.

One thing is that among the people who came to visit, Li Zhi unexpectedly met an acquaintance. It was none other than Nie Xueer, the daughter of the lord of Cangshan City who had once met him and sold candied haws.

The little girl and Li Zhi were from the same group of worshipers, but they entered directly through the inner gate, and they hadn't seen each other for a while. She was a very tall child, and although she acted maturely, she still looked childish, which made her look very cute.

She must have listened to her mother's instructions. She took the gift and took the initiative to make friends with this promising disciple. She said words that she had obviously memorized in advance. She spoke stumblingly and looked embarrassed and nervous. Li Zhi almost laughed out loud.

Jiang You dismissed the other visitors with a few words, but Li Zhi stayed with the little girl for a whole stick of incense. When Nie Xueer went out relieved, he saw her mother standing not far away. Under a tree, he quickly ran forward happily.

"Xue'er, how are you?"

"Junior Brother Nie is not as fierce as the legend says. He is very kind. He took the initiative to pour tea and even brought out candied haws to treat him. I finished what my mother told me, drank the tea, and came out after eating the candied haws."

Unexpectedly, her mother listened with a cold face, "You are now a monk, how can you still be greedy for these mortal snacks? Remember, don't treat yourself as a child anymore. You are now an inner disciple of Canglan Sect. You have requirements for yourself at all times, do you understand?"

Nie Xueer saw that she had completed the task perfectly according to her mother's words, but she was still scolded by her mother. It was really difficult to get any praise from her. Her face felt aggrieved, and her eyes were filled with tears. , "I know, mother!"

"It turns out that Senior Sister Nie is Elder Fan's daughter. Why didn't Elder Sun come in with us before? This would have made the disciple rude!"

Li Zhi went out, saluted the mother and daughter and smiled.

When Li Zhi entered the inner sect, under the leadership of the old man of Chuan Gong Hall, he understood all the rules of the inner sect clearly, and he thought that he knew the elders of the inner sect.

Nie Xueer's mother's name is Fan Weiyue. She is a cultivator in the Void Realm and serves in the Law Enforcement Hall. She has a tough and resolute style.

It must be her father's contribution to raising Nie Xueer's innocent and innocent temperament.

"Master Nephew Li, there is no need to be polite. Although Xue'er entered the inner sect a few days early, she is still too young after all. Practitioners are judged by their strength. It is better for Xue'er to think of herself as a junior sister. My nephew is extremely talented. I hope that I will be the right one in the future." Xueer, please give me some advice!"

"Since the elders have spoken, Li Zhi dare not disobey. Junior Sister Xue'er acts calmly and generously, and is quite elegant in her gestures. My nephew thought before that she must be a queen from a famous family, but now I see that she is indeed the case!"

There is no better way to know a daughter than a mother. Although Fan Weiyue, the mother, was missing in Nie Xueer's growth, an elder from the Void Refining Realm would not be able to see through a little girl.

Naturally, she would not believe what Li Zhi said, but she was happy that Li Zhi was willing to give her this face.

Fan Weiyue brought her daughter but did not come in. Li Zhi knew that this was to show Nie Xueer's background and to stand up for his daughter.

As an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, he has shown enough love by working so hard for his daughter's future connections.

The second interesting thing is that Jiang You chose Danfeng after joining the inner sect. The peak master in the Netherworld Realm went out and never returned. It was Danfeng's senior brother who led him to salute the peak master's portrait.

It can be regarded as a apprenticeship ceremony.

Who would have thought that when Li Zhi went to see the portrait of the peak master, he discovered that the person on it, with red clothes and crane hair, was not the old man in red clothes who had just entered this world and almost killed him?

I didn't expect that I would see him in such a way after going around in circles.

Fortunately, Jiang You took him away with all his tricks. Now Li Zhi, even in front of the old man in red, couldn't see any flaws.

It's better now. Before, he was worried that he couldn't figure out the properties of the three pills. Now that he has met the real owner, there should be no problem!

"The competition begins!"

The elder sitting in the middle gave an order, and the outer disciples who were all ready immediately stepped onto the ring one after another.

Li Zhi also took on the responsibility of refereeing, and the referee he was responsible for was Gao Ce.

Gao Ce held a long spear, and the spear was like a dragon, with great momentum. His opponent was a thin man, holding two swords, with ghostly movement and superb sword skills. He blocked all Gao Ce's attacks. Wander around the outside, looking for opportunities to counterattack.

As an outer sect senior brother, Gao Ce's strength is recognized by everyone, but he is only of his generation. People who started early don't buy this, and his strength is not weak at all.

Although the two of them were already in the Aiki state, in Li Zhi's eyes, they were unremarkable, not to mention that it was just a competition in the ring, not a life and death fight, and the intensity of the battle had dropped to another level.

By the seventh move between the two, Jiang You could tell that the balance of victory had begun to tilt towards Gao Ce.

This disciple holding two swords broke through the spear with both swords several times and tried to get close, but was beaten back by Gao Ce with the barrel of his gun. After several attacks failed, his momentum has plummeted. As long as Gao Ce fights steadily, victory is only a matter of time.

"Huh?" Just when Li Zhi had predicted the direction and outcome of the battle, the man with the two swords suddenly slowed down and his breathing rhythm began to change.

Seeing this situation, Gao Ce thought that this person was weak and his breathing was slow, but Li Zhi took one look and knew that this person was gathering strength for a last-ditch battle.

Sure enough, after the two of them exchanged two moves, a long knife burst into life and turned into a hungry wolf and slashed forward. Gao Ce's blood boiled and he struck with the big gun. After the collision, the long knife shattered, but The fragments were wrapped in energy and blood and hit Gao Ce like a shower of stars.

Gao Ce turned around with his spear, squatted down slightly with his legs, and charged forward with the tip of his spear.

Immediately, a shockwave rolled out, piercing all the fragments. At this time, the man finally seized the opportunity, almost leaning against the blood spear, he broke into Gao Ce's body. With a shock of the long knife, he moved towards Gao Ce. Gao Ce throat.

Unexpectedly, when Gao Ce faced this sword, his left hand emitted purple light, grabbed the blade, and deflected the blade away with a push. At the same time, he stepped out of the way, and waited for the man to slash the sword into the air. Afterwards, when he tried to turn around again, the cold tip of the spear was already pointed at his face.

"Senior brother, accept!"

Gao Ce put away his gun and smiled at the man.

"There's nothing wrong with the tactics, but the hard power is lacking, so we won't lose unjustly!" Li Zhi thought to himself.

Then he hosted three more arenas in a row, and when they were all over, the candidates for the inner sect had been decided.

At this time, the sun was slanting from the western mountains, and everything on the ground was covered in a vague rose color.

It was also a bloody setting sun, just like when Li Zhi entered the outer gate.

The identities of Li Zhi and Gao Ce were changed, and Li Zhi and several inner disciples led the outer sects to handle the affairs after promotion to the inner sect.

Gao Ce fell at the back, walking side by side with Li Zhi.

"Junior Brother Gao, congratulations on successfully joining the inner sect!"

"Compared with Senior Brother, Junior Brother, I am just ashamed!" Gao Ce looked embarrassed, his eyes avoiding Li Zhi intentionally or unintentionally.

After all, at this moment, just like that time, he was high-spirited. Although he was humble towards others, he was arrogant and restrained, and he felt that he was talented.

But the appearance of Li Zhi shattered all his arrogance and allowed him to witness with his own eyes how a true genius rises. The inner sect that he had been striving for, for Li Zhi, it was easy and effortless for him to join.

He immediately felt a sense of disillusionment and inferiority.

All your efforts seem insignificant in front of other people's fortune.

But I don’t have a good life like others, so what else can I do besides working hard?

Although his reasoning makes sense, it does not mean that he can live with it in his heart, especially when such a rapid change in status occurs in a proud person.

Such a dramatic incident made this young man's Taoist heart, which did not have enough experience and wisdom to support it, begin to break.

"In just a few days, you and I have changed our identities, and all of this is because of the good fortune I have received. Are you unwilling to accept it, junior brother?"

Li Zhi smiled.

Gao Ce didn't expect Li Zhi to say this directly, and immediately calmed down and said: "Brother, why did you say this? Creation is an indispensable thing on the path of cultivation. Senior brother has great luck. Before, he was just hiding in the abyss. That’s all, now it’s time to fly to the nine heavens, why can’t I be unwilling, junior brother?”

"Haha, a lie!"

Gao Ce had never seen anyone like Li Zhi. Why didn't he realize that this person acted so irrationally? What is he going to do? Humiliate me?

"But still remember what you said to those disciples when I entered the inner sect. Do you really think that they can do the same as you and enter the inner sect within a year?"

"This person's talents are different and cannot be generalized. Several junior brothers may not be able to do it."

"No, you have come here step by step. You must know what the rules of the outer sect are."

Gao Ce fell into silence.

"But, does this mean they are bad?"

"Senior brother, what exactly do you want to say? Junior brother is stupid, so you might as well say it directly!"

"Cultivation and Taoism, no matter who you say, it is nothing more than walking. Since it is walking, naturally some people walk fast and some walk slowly. There are always people who say, one step is fast, and each step is fast.

I originally thought so too, but when I really started walking faster, I realized that this sentence was simply a lie. Slowness has its own reasons, and fastness has its shortcomings.

Sometimes, if you want to go far, you have to take your time.

Some people can join the inner sect at a young age, but stop reaching the true realm in their lifetime;

Some people only start to practice in old age, but they can soar into the sky;

Some people were young and successful, high-spirited, and lived for three hundred years, but they were beaten to death before they reached the age of fifty;

There are also mortals who enjoy a long life and live to be a hundred years old.

Some people were expelled from the outer gate, so they had opportunities in life outside, gained destiny, and were reborn.

Even if some people receive the true message, they can only do nothing and become a stepping stone for others!

What I want to say is that some people around you may be far ahead of you, and some may be behind you, but everything has its own rhythm. They have their own rhythm, you have yours, be patient.

As your experience becomes higher and higher, you will eventually find that you can never beat everyone. Comparing more may only increase your worries. There are always people who are better than you, and there are always people who are worse than you.

None of this has anything to do with you. I have a friend. His grandfather named him Jiang Wuguan.

It means that instead of traveling mentally, it is better to observe your own mind quietly.

This sentence is given to you! "

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he saw that Gao Ce's expression was stunned, and he stared blankly at the setting sun under his feet and the deep shadow reflected on him.

Immediately, he clasped his fists towards Li Zhi, bowed deeply and saluted, "Today I heard what my senior brother said, it was like an enlightenment, and all the sorrow in my heart disappeared. Senior brother, please accept my bow!"

Li Zhi accepted this great gift with a smile on his face without hiding at all.

At this point, Gao Ce became sincere about the word "senior brother" to Li Zhicheng.

After Gao Ce got up, he said, "Senior brother, why are you helping me like this?"

"But still remember what you said to me when I entered Canglan City?"

"Ask senior brother to buy magic weapons in the city and make more preparations? I didn't realize senior brother's strength at that time, but now it seems like it's just a joke."

"No, it's not a joke, it's because of these words that I got what I said today!"

What Li Zhi said confused Gao Ce, but considering that Li Zhi's style has always been like this, it was not surprising.

"One of the examples that my senior brother encouraged me said is that some people practice cultivation in old age and can still soar into the sky. But in old age, the energy and blood are exhausted and how many years have been wasted. Can they really catch up from behind?"

"Of course, that old man is very powerful and fierce. It's a pity that he's not here, otherwise you would know it as soon as you see him."

Li Zhi couldn't help but smile when he thought of the Fifth Master.

"By the way, senior brother, the true successor of our sect, senior brother Lan, was defeated by the great enemy Feng Bujing. Although this matter has been famous in the north, after all, we are all in Canglan, so it is better not to say this. If this comes to Senior Brother Lan’s ears, I’m afraid it will cause trouble in his life!”

Gao Ce was completely impressed by Li Zhi and began to sincerely give Li Zhi advice.

"Haha, I didn't mention him by name. If someone takes a seat, there's nothing I can do about it!

Okay, it’s rare that you are willing to listen to me. The people in front have already walked away, and we have also quickened our pace! "

"Didn't Senior Brother say to walk at your own pace? Just walk slowly!"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and the two looked at each other and laughed. (End of chapter)
