Chapter 374: I don’t care whether I stay or leave!
In the battle between Zhong Yushan and Li Zhi, the Chunyang Sect elder came down to block Li Zhi's last punch and finish.
After seeing this result, all the disciples present were shocked.
No one expected that this Canglan Sect senior brother, Li Zhi, could really do what they thought was impossible.
Among them, Pei Xuanzhen was the most shocked. Her heart was filled with ups and downs and it was difficult to calm down. She felt very unreal.
Why didn't he just go into seclusion once, and then a monster like this suddenly appeared in the sect?
"This strength is indeed enough!" The Chunyang Sect elder showed no signs of anger after his disciple's defeat. Instead, he looked up and down at Li Zhi with brilliant eyes.
At this moment, Yu Jing, who had returned to the sect's spaceship, had messy black hair and a pale face. He could not accept this reality, and his wounded body could not move.
Zhong Yushan, who fell into a coma, was taken over by Chunyang Sect disciples and brought back for emergency treatment.
"Hahaha!"
The most excited person right now is Liu Xianxian on the cloud.
He laughed loudly, "Everyone, I will be disrespectful and accept them all!"
Then with a wave of his hand, he pocketed all the bets in the game.
The faces of the other elders were extremely gloomy. Just now, Liu Xianxian used the same words that had forced him to place a bet on them, killing them severely.
Moreover, due to the Canglan Sect being in such a limelight, the defeated sects all suffered a huge loss of face.
"In this case, my Canglan Sect will no longer be at the bottom. I have the qualifications to enter the secret realm. Brother Jiuyou Sect, I'm sorry!"
The elder of the Jiuyou Sect was gloomy and silent. The Canglan Sect rushed forward and pushed him down. He was ranked last and eliminated from the competition!
Li Zhi looked at the sudden appearance of Elder Chunyang, and felt the terrifying power of Qi and blood from his fat body.
He thought to himself: "The people of Chunyang Sect are all really fat. I don't know how many resources were consumed to achieve the energy and blood of this elder!"
Then he cupped his fists and saluted.
The elder of the Chunyang Sect smiled and nodded, "Brother Li, your strong physique is similar to that of our Chunyang Sect. If you are interested in the future, you can come to our Chunyang Sect to have some exchanges. Changle at the foot of our sect mountain The city is quite fun!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a rainbow light suddenly flew over.
Liu Xianxian has already arrived in a hurry, "Hahaha, definitely, definitely, my Canglan Sect will definitely organize the disciples to attend the appointment by then!"
Then he said to Li Zhi: "Well done, I'll forgive you for being late! Okay, you have nothing to do here, go back quickly!"
As he waved his sleeves, a rainbow light enveloped Li Zhi.
Li Zhi did not resist and allowed him to take him away.
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the rainbow light flew not to the spaceship where the disciples from the Han family were, but to Pei Xuanzhen.
When Li Zhi boarded the ship, the clan disciples were still stunned, and they finally agreed to come over.
They all said "Senior Brother" in an indifferent tone, without any hint of joy. They had never had any doubts about Li Zhineng's victory.
Seeing that the people over there were all stunned and silent, Gao Ce snorted coldly, "What are you still standing there for? Do you want to break the previous bet?"
Hearing Gao Ce take the initiative to mention this matter, everyone's faces turned pale and red.
Especially An Zhengcheng's face turned the color of pig liver.
Then he gritted his teeth and said: "I am willing to admit defeat, and I will not be able to afford to lose. Li Zhi, from now on I will recognize you as my senior brother. If you are given an order in the future, I will never refuse. Please accept my respect as my junior brother." Kneel down and kowtow in front of everyone!
But he was suddenly pulled by Lan Ze from behind.
At this time, the other clan disciples finally came to their senses.
"Senior Brother An, how can you be the one to bow down to the bet we made together?"
Although Lanze's face was pale, for some reason, his expression no longer looked as gloomy as before.
"Yes, Senior Brother Li, please accept my greetings!"
As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed with all the disciples.
Seeing this scene, the people standing around Li Zhi quickly distanced themselves, leaving him alone to receive the ceremony.
Pei Xuanzhen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the eyes of the disciples from the humble family headed by Gao Ce, he closed it after all.
Liu Xianxian had actually been paying attention to the movements behind him. When he saw that Pei Xuanzhen still didn't speak at this time, he sighed in his heart and felt a little disappointed in Pei Xuanzhen.
Li Zhi remained silent after boarding the ship, just to see if these clan disciples could fulfill their contract.
If he dared to default on his debt, then in order to fulfill his agreement with the great elder, Li Zhi had no choice but to convince others with force.
At the same time, it also shows that these master disciples are indeed useless, and they will be marginalized one by one from now on.
If you are willing to admit defeat, it shows that you still have some responsibility and toughness.
So
When Li Zhi saw that everyone was about to kneel down, he immediately waved his hand and struck out with such force that no one could kneel down.
With a smile on his face, he said: "Everyone, it was just a joke before. We are all disciples of the same generation. How can we give such a big gift? It really makes me sad. Why should we take the joke seriously!"
Pei Xuanzhen and the other disciples were relieved when they heard that Li Zhi had given him a step down.
After all, the eyes of other sects are now focused on this. On such an occasion, kneeling down and kowtow would be a life-long struggle to hold your head up.
The tension relaxed, and now I looked at the smiling Li Zhi in front of me. For some reason, I felt that this person was not as hateful as before!
Actually, looking at it now, it’s not bad, pretty good.
He directly subdued the disciples of all the sects. If he said that he was a waste, could it be that all the top disciples of these sects were defeated by Li Zhi, so they were all wastes?
If a person is only a head taller than you, it will definitely cause jealousy, but if this person is taller than you, there is no change.
What it arouses is not jealousy, but deep admiration!
Li Zhi felt the changes in the eyes of these clan disciples looking at him, and nodded slightly with satisfaction.
"I know that your family backgrounds are all extraordinary, and you can easily get what many people dream of. But as the saying goes, if you are full of gold and jade, you can't keep it. If you are rich and arrogant, you will suffer the consequences.
Things grow old when they are strong. Is there anything in this world that has only advantages and no disadvantages?
In fact, today is a good example, Gao Ce! "Li Zhi suddenly said.
"Junior brother is here!" Gao Ce, who was originally looking at ease and contented, suddenly felt sweaty in his hands and became nervous when he heard Li Zhi suddenly calling him.
"When I was preaching, I once said something like, "Favour and disgrace are as frightening as being a noble person." What is meant by "favour, disgrace, and fright"? When you are favored, you are frightened when you get it, and when you lose it, you are frightened by favor and disgrace."
"Tell me, what does this sentence mean?"
Gao Ce began to sweat on his forehead, "Senior brother, I understand this sentence to mean that being favored is the same as being humiliated, and it is not something to be proud of.
"It's astonishing to gain and astonishing to lose. When you gain favor, you fall out of favor, because gains and losses are in the hands of others.
Rather than seeking favor by following others' influence, it is better to be independent and self-reliant and work hard to create your own world. I wonder if my junior brother’s understanding is wrong? "
When Gao Ce said this, he looked slightly at the clan members.
And those people, when they heard this, looked embarrassed.
"You understand well!" After Gao Ce received Li Zhi's approval, he couldn't help but look happy, but he immediately realized something, turned pale and looked up at Li Zhi.
Sure enough, there was disappointment in Li Zhi's eyes.
"Alas all you know is how to pronounce and read this sentence, but you still don't really understand the meaning and truth.
People feel panicked when they are favored or humiliated because they are worried about themselves.
What is flattery? Favor is a favor given by a superior to a subordinate. It is difficult to decide whether you are favored or not. Those who gain favor are sincere and fearful, while those who lose favor are anxious and panicked. This is the so-called favor and humiliation.
The reason why people lose their independence is due to the inequality in the status relationship between the two parties. "Favor and disgrace" embodies an unequal status relationship.
If you cannot explore this layer, how will you seek the truth in the future?
Seekers of the Tao must first be unfazed by favor or disgrace before they can enter the Tao, Gao Ce, and you. "
Li Zhi looked at the disciples from the poor family, "I will focus on the word favor in the future!"
"As for everyone!" Li Zhi looked at the clan disciples.
"After what happened today, you should have gained some insights. With your family background, it is not difficult to understand favor, but shame is difficult."
"Without being surprised by favor or disgrace, I watch the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court; I have no intention of staying or leaving, and watch the clouds roll and relax in the sky. This sentence is for everyone!"
It turns out that when Li Zhi preaches, everyone always thinks that he is hypocritical, and he just talks nonsense and is pretentious and disgusting!
However, today, they were humiliated first, and then Li Zhi came on the scene, turned the tide, and regained the lost face, and for a while they felt a little proud.
Then Li Zhi boarded the ship, and Gao Ce forced the bet to be made, and the humiliation came again immediately.
It was Li Zhi who spoke to avoid this humiliation. Before they could be happy for too long, he followed up with another sentence: The house is full of gold and jade, and no one can keep it. If you are proud of your wealth, you will suffer the consequences. This sounds a bit ironic.
Under such repeated jumps of honor and disgrace, even Kuchiki would be moved by Li Zhi's understanding of the favor and disgrace that followed.
Yes, our favor and disgrace are all placed on Li Zhi, and we follow his wishes.
Isn’t it because you already feel that you are inferior to others in your heart?
Although I don't know what the Great Dao and entering the Dao are that Li Zhi talks about, cultivation requires bravery and diligence. If you are willing to be humble, your cultivation will be greatly damaged in the future.
In the last moment, I was not surprised when I heard about the favor and disgrace, and watched the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court; I had no intention of leaving or leaving, and watched the clouds roll and relax in the sky.
I was immediately struck by the unintentional, unintentional, ruthless and tasteless nature of these words!
Suddenly, the previous feeling of shame disappeared!
Even Pei Xuanzhen's original jealousy towards Li Zhisheng disappeared immediately after hearing this.
A deep feeling of admiration arose in my heart.
Because these words were said by Li Zhi himself, let them not have any sense of honor or disgrace because of him!
Don't feel that you are inferior to him, Li Zhi.
Isn't this kind of extremely open-minded mentality exactly what he meant by being unfazed by favors and disgrace, leaving or leaving without care?
Gao Ce and the disciples from the Han family also felt uncomfortable at this time.
Although Li Zhi's words were addressed to Gao Ce, they were actually addressed to all of them.
They had already heard Li Zhi's words, but they still favored him. When Rong Zhen came, their mentality was unbalanced and they fell into it, unable to realize it.
At this time, if we think about the arrogance they had towards the master's disciples just now, are they the ones who are the best?
No, it was entirely because of Li Zhi!
Ridiculous, ridiculous! The way I looked just now was probably the most ridiculous clown in the world!
Among the poor families, there were several disciples whose faces turned blood red and felt extremely embarrassed!
And Li Zhi, by himself, messed up everyone's mentality!
But this is a good thing. Climbing the great road is never achieved overnight. It is always like this, with little effort.
Li Zhi and Jiang You, didn't they all come here like this?
Everyone was in a daze. After a long time, Pei Xuanzhen suddenly saw Liu Xianxian who had appeared on the boat at an unknown time.
Just as he was about to salute, Liu Xianxian quickly stopped him.
In fact, he had already arrived. After hearing Li Zhi's flattering remarks, the impact on him was far greater than that of everyone present.
What the disciples felt was favor and humiliation, but what he felt was ruthlessness!
Sentient beings, the road to ruthlessness!
Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs!
Of course it was impossible for Liu Xianxian to understand the famous sayings of the Tao Te Ching, but he had a vague feeling in this regard.
Immediately, he felt that his alchemy had made a major breakthrough just because of Li Zhi's last words!
Now, Liu Xianxian finally understood why the sect master and the great elder valued Li Zhi so much.
"Innate Dao Fetus? So that's what it means! Is this person really a monster that he was born with?"
"Elder Liu!"
The other disciples came to their senses and saluted Liu Xianxian when they saw him suddenly appearing on the boat.
Then all the disciples saw it and clasped their fists.
"Well! Okay, now that the battle formation is over, we will enter the Xuanyuan Secret Realm later. I have a few words of advice!"
When Liu Xianxian saw that everyone had come back from their realization, he suppressed the shock in his heart and spoke.
Liu Xianxian said it was an exhortation, but in fact it was an explanation for Li Zhi.
This Xuanyuan Secret Realm is the ruins of a sect in the medieval period. It is a world of its own. It contains exotic flowers and plants, various monsters and beasts, and may even be inherited by the medieval sect.
It can be said to be a blessing.
Since it was discovered, it has been robbed by various major forces, and for a period of time, there has been a bloody storm.
Until the big old sects like Canglan Sect met their end, they were divided directly together, the entrance was sealed together, and it was agreed that everyone would protect, develop and prosper together.
In this way, everyone is a winner, and it can be described as a win-win cooperation.
The only ones who didn't win were the casual cultivators and small sects who scolded their mothers.
"Of course, there are some major cultivators who are used to being carefree and do not want to join the sect. These people have already entered first. After you meet inside, you must treat each other with the courtesy of disciples. Don't be negligent. I understand. ?"
Liu Xianxian said finally.
"Yes, please obey the law!"
Liu Xianxian nodded slightly, stroking his chin beard, glanced at Li Zhi, and sent him a message.
"You kid, keep an eye on me in there. If there is a dispute with other sects, don't take it too seriously. As long as no one is killed, the other sects will take care of you. Do you understand?"
"Okay, you are asking me to bully others!"
Although Liu Xianxian didn't say anything too explicit, how could Li Zhi not understand the meaning behind his words?
"Disciple knows!" Li Zhi agreed first, but he had other concerns in his heart. (End of chapter)
