Chapter 379 The bell rings again, sitting in the well

After the two casual cultivators from the Netherworld Realm arrived here, they checked and found no trace of a hidden small space.

This small space would have been difficult to discover if Li Zhiyong hadn't been traveling around Liexu, just based on the external topography.

"Let's go in first!"

Li Zhi saw the looks from the two Netherworld realms, nodded, and asked the disciples to step back and get out of the way, and then activated the Taixu Cauldron to hit the node.

Seeing that Li Zhi urged the Taixu Cauldron to open the passage into the small space, the two casual cultivators were convinced that they were really relying on the mysteries of the cauldron itself, otherwise he would have been able to detect their arrival on his own. A hidden space that cannot be seen from the front.

Then it would be really difficult for them to lose face.

"Bang! Bang!"

After the Taixu Cauldron collided several times, the passage was quickly opened, and everyone entered one after another with surprised expressions.

Li Zhi and the two casual cultivators stayed at the back.

"Should we arrange some hidden means outside?"

"It must not be like this. The space here is already perfectly hidden. If we use our methods outside, wouldn't we just mark our location for the mummy?"

"It makes sense!" After listening to Li Zhi's words, this person found that not only was he far stronger than his disciples of the same generation, but he was also extremely thoughtful, and he couldn't help but look at Li Zhigao again.

"Two seniors, let's hurry in!"

"good!"

After the three people entered, Taixu Cauldron flew back and the space channel was closed.

The disciples who entered this place first saw that it was exactly the same as the outside world, except for the addition of a small space of a dilapidated ancient temple. They were amazed, but they all stopped in the outside world and did not enter the ancient temple to investigate first.

In this way, he showed respect for Li Zhi.

At this time, everyone was already talking to each other in a low voice, discussing how to contact their elders.

After seeing Li Zhi and the two casual cultivators entering, they all fell silent.

Li Zhi looked towards the Canglan Sect crowd and saw that after this disaster, there were five fewer Canglan Sect disciples, and people from both the clan and the poor family had died at the hands of the mummy.

The situation in other sects is similar. All the people here now add up to only twenty people. Compared with when they entered, the number has been cut in half!

At this time, Zhong Yushan from the Chunyang Sect suddenly stepped forward, clasped his fists and said to the three of them: "Thank you two seniors, thank you Senior Brother Li for rescuing me. I have caused my senior brother to have premature birth, and I feel extremely guilty. On behalf of all the disciples of the Qingyun Sect, I would like to express my gratitude here Thanks!"

Li Zhi did not expect that Zhong Yushan would be like this. Judging from the previous battles, this man was extremely proud. Even though he had shown a tyrannical strength that far exceeded him, he was unwilling to admit defeat and provoke his elders to take action.

But now I can actually be the first to walk out and say thank you.

This magnanimity made Li Zhi look at him immediately!

As Zhong Yushan spoke first, Qingyun Sect Yu Jing also stepped forward to express his gratitude to the three of them, followed by other senior brothers from other sects, and even Pei Xuanzhen also walked out.

"Senior Brother Li, thank you very much for saving me. I hope that I will forgive my sister for being rude to him before!"

Facing everyone's thanks, the two casual cultivators looked a little embarrassed and said immediately: "I have only done my meager efforts and cannot be compared with the contribution of Master Nephew Li. Master Nephew, we thank each other again. If it weren't for Master My nephew disregarded his own safety and his future path, and risked his life to save me. I am afraid that by now I have become a withered bone in the grave!"

After saying that, the two of them bowed to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Two seniors, why did you say this? Li Zhi just happened to meet at the right time and had selfish motives in his heart. How could he accept such a great gift?" At the same time, he turned to the crowd and said: "You don't have to be like this, Li Zhi Is it just a guess that the great mummy demon plundered the lifespan, restored its own strength, and destroyed the nest without leaving any eggs? Li Zhi is very selfish, and he rose up at the right time, so he can't bear the courtesy from everyone."

Everyone looked surprised when they heard that Li Zhi had honestly revealed his selfishness in front of everyone.

Everyone is not stupid about this matter and can easily think of it, but thinking about it does not mean that they will talk about it. Even if they can get out alive in the future, they will never mention this kind of thing. Even if someone mentions this matter in person, they will also Will speak for Li Zhi.

After all, selfishness is something that everyone has! It's not important. What's important is that Li Zhi saved their lives!

If everything in the world was based on selfishness, nothing would be done in this world!

Everyone thanked Li Zhi with the courtesy of a junior disciple, which undoubtedly gave Li Zhi a great honor and a heavy favor.

In the future, Li Zhi's influence will not be limited to Canglan Sect, but Hua Rong will be the first among his peers!

But it happened that it was Li Zhi who singled out the matter himself and did not want this honor and favor.

Everyone found it incredible that even the two casual cultivators had the idea of ​​​​understanding this person.

But the faces of everyone in the Canglan Sect showed such clear expressions.

"Favours and disgrace are like surprises, honors and disasters are like one's body, gains are astonishing, losses are astonishing, favors and disgrace are not shocked, watch the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court; leave or stay without intention, watch the clouds rolling and relaxing in the sky."

They all remembered what Li Zhi said to them outside.

As the saying goes, what you see on paper will eventually become shallow.

After listening to Li Zhi's words, they felt something in their hearts, but that was all. Now that they saw Li Zhi rejecting both the honor and the favor, he was indeed practicing what he said.

What is the weight of the favors of one young disciple from each sect and two Mingxuan casual cultivators?

As a disciple of the clan, Lan Ze knows very well.

Although these disciples may not be very good now, in the future they will all be the mainstay of the sect and hold important positions.

With their favor at that time, the energy was already unpredictable.

As for the casual cultivators in the Mingxuan Realm, they can be entrusted with many things that are inconvenient for the sect to do.

But this is not the greatest benefit. When competing with others in the sect, pulling out two Ming Xuan cultivators to help him can simply achieve the miraculous effect of making the final decision.

Adding the two together, Li Zhi's status in the future cannot be easily shaken by others. As long as he makes no mistakes, he will be directly recommended as the next leader of the Canglan Sect.

Even if the current sect leader and the great elder do not approve of it, they will still have to figure it out slowly and cannot be suppressed by force!

But Li Zhi refused!

Lan Ze's eyes became extremely complicated. Looking at Li Zhi in front of him, deep admiration inevitably arose in his heart.

"Li Zhi, Li Zhi, you can always do things that ordinary people can't do. A seedling can turn into a towering sacred tree in the blink of an eye. Is there really anyone in the world who knows this from birth?"

Lan Ze's current mentality represents many Canglan Sect disciples, including Pei Xuanzhen.

However, Gao Ce and other disciples from a humble family looked at Li Zhi with a hint of fanaticism in their eyes.

"Senior brother's lectures are as vast as the sea. I often ponder them, and they are all of great benefit. I am so lucky to be able to follow my senior brother and listen to his teachings!"

"Everyone, I have visited the ancient temple before. There is no danger inside, but it seems to be hiding a mystery. Let's enter the ancient temple first!"

Li Zhi suggested that everyone should do whatever they want.

Everyone stood outside the gate of the ancient temple, letting Li Zhi and the two casual cultivators go first, and the two casual cultivators let Li Zhi go first.

Li Zhi refused, but had no choice but to step inside, and everyone filed in.

Just then, "Cang!"

Suddenly there was a loud bell.

The lingering sound echoed around, shaking everyone's blood.

And Li Zhi discovered that the power of decay contained in his white hair was actually shaken by the sound of the bell and seemed to dissipate.

"There are still bells. The ancient Bodhi tree has scattered, which means that the bells have nothing to do with the ancient Bodhi trees. Moreover, the bells can actually have an effect on the decaying energy!

Where did this bell sound come from? Where is the big bell that makes the sound hidden? "

Li Zhi discovered that this ancient temple was far from as simple as he thought, and there were mysteries in it that he had never discovered!

Everyone also felt the effect of the bell on the power of decay accumulated in their bodies.

His face showed joy.

"Senior brother, does this bell sound come from the ancient temple?"

Pei Xuanzhen walked behind Li Zhi and asked him.

Li Zhi smiled bitterly, "When I came here before, I also heard the sound of the bell, but no matter how I went in, I couldn't find the source of the bell. As for the big bell, it was nowhere to be seen. You can go in and search, maybe it's just me. If you don’t have this opportunity, find the big bell and dispel the power of decay in your body for everyone!”

Li Zhi spoke loudly to everyone.

After hearing Li Zhi's words, everyone stopped being polite and entered one after another, using various means to explore.

The two casual cultivators also kept wandering around the ancient temple, exploring inch by inch and gradually deepening.

After a while, there was no one around Li Zhi except Gao Ce and a few other disciples from a humble family.

"Huh? Why don't you go in and look for it?"

"If we can't even find our senior brother, how can our luck be compared with our senior brother's, so we won't waste our efforts." Gao Ce said with a smile.

"You guys!" Li Zhi shook his head. Gao Ce and the others were actually quite good, everything was fine, but they lacked the unique temperament of the Blue Star people.

Li Zhi couldn't tell exactly what this temperament was. He only gradually felt this way when he came to this world.

But Li Zhi didn't say much, but asked about their physical condition.

"How much Shou Yuan was taken away?"

Gao Ce and others suddenly looked depressed.

"Forty years!"

There are two nodes for practicing in this realm to increase your lifespan. One is the Tongzhen realm, where you can enjoy a life span of two hundred years, and the second one is the Dongxuan realm, where you can enjoy a life span of eight hundred years.

Of course, these are just natural lifespans, and people like Chen Yulou and Jiuyou Old Demon who use other means to survive are not among them.

"A lifespan of forty years is not bad at first. We are not very old to begin with. The most troublesome thing is the decaying energy in the body, which prevents the body from recovering and hinders our future path!"

"Yes, the sound of the bell just now is useful for the energy of decay. If we can really find the big bell and disperse the energy of decay in the body, the loss will not be so great!"

Someone raised their head, and the others started talking at once.

Li Zhi did not interrupt and patiently listened to what they had to say.

"What if everyone fails to find the big clock?"

Several people's expressions froze.

"Go out and return to the sect. Maybe the teachers will have some ideas."

"Yes, the scope of this matter is very large. The sect leaders of each sect are all Dongxuan practitioners, no worse than the mummy. If we study together, we will definitely be able to break this power of decay."

"What if, even after the sect leaders have studied it, they still can't break it?"

Li Zhi kept asking questions, and until this point, several people stopped talking.

"Could it be that this power of decline has such a great impact on you? In the past, I always said that the road to seeking the Tao is long and long. I should seek it up and down. There is also a cloud, asking in the morning, I can die at night That’s it!”

"Brother!"

Several people looked ashamed.

Li Zhi waved his hand and led them slowly inside.

"It doesn't matter, the desire to seek the truth cannot become firm all at once. I also gradually developed it through hardships one after another. What I want to say is that even if this matter cannot be solved in the end, it will not be solved. The path that really affects you is just more difficult.

But when it comes to seeking the truth, how can it be simple? It is difficult for everyone, but it is difficult for you now, and for some people, it will be difficult in the future.

Don’t let this matter sway you from seeking the truth! "

The few people walked deeper and saw no other disciples on the way. Li Zhi thought that they must have discovered the space under the dry well.

So he walked directly towards the dry well.

Standing in front of the dry well and looking down, Li Zhi felt regretful that he could not see Jiang You this time.

After going down the dry well and walking all the way to the deepest part where the ancient Bodhi tree used to be, I found that, as expected, other people were here, still checking unwillingly.

Seeing Li Zhi and others coming in, they all stopped what they were doing.

"How? Is there any harvest?"

"It's strange, I've searched every inch of it, and I almost tore this ancient temple apart and turned it over, but I still can't find it!"

This person, obviously a little angry, said in annoyance.

Everyone else's mood was similar.

There is obviously a bell ringing, and the bell sound is just useful for the power of decay in their bodies, but things can never be found!

Li Zhi sighed, didn't say much, found an open space and sat down.

Seeing him like this, the Canglan Sect disciples stopped looking for him and sat cross-legged behind him.

Others, still unwilling to accept it, began to discuss with each other to see if any new ideas would emerge.

Whenever I have a new idea, I immediately go out to experiment, but it always ends in failure.

After several attempts, we gave up searching, and more and more people sat down, until everyone was seated here.

Everyone looked like they were mourning for their heirs, no one spoke, and there was dead silence.

Li Zhi's eyes swept over them one by one, and he felt that there was no difference between them and the earthen puppets sitting cross-legged in the Blue Star Temple.

Their eyes have lost their sparkle.

"I don't know what's going on outside now!"

Suddenly a disciple muttered in a low voice. After breaking the silence, his senior brother turned around and stopped him with his eyes, telling him not to continue.

Everyone's mood has hit rock bottom. This kind of discussion can only increase everyone's fear and anxiety, without any benefit.

"Brother, since I have nothing to do now, instead of just sitting here, why don't you give us a sermon?"

Gao Ce suggested.

The other disciples of the sect were all happy after hearing this. They originally planned to return to the sect in the future and listen to Li Zhi's sermons. Now they all agree.

Pei Xuanzhen was also very interested in this and looked over from the side with his beautiful eyes.

When the other sect disciples heard this, they were a little confused. What was the sermon? Is it to share his own cultivation experience?

Thinking of the power Li Zhi had shown before, several other senior brothers were also moved, but there was something wrong with it.

Yu Jing said: "Senior Brother Li, if you want to preach, we can avoid it. Get up and we can sit cross-legged outside!"

"Brother Yu, it doesn't have to be like this!" Li Zhi stopped him with a smile.

"There's nothing I can't tell everyone. If you don't mind me being noisy, then I'll talk about it?"

After listening to Li Zhi's words, everyone felt that Li Zhi was so magnanimous that he was actually willing to put aside family differences!

Pei Xuanzhen was not very clear about what Li Zhi was going to say. If he really revealed the secret details of the Canglan Sect, wouldn't he be in trouble?

She asked Li Zhi with her eyes.

When Li Zhi saw it, he smiled and nodded gently to her, showing that he was sensible.

"If a great success is lacking, its use will not be harmful; if a great gain is rushing, its use will be endless. If great straightness is like bending, if great skill is like clumsiness, if great debate is like indifference. Impatience is better than cold, tranquility is better than heat, and tranquility is the right of the world."

As soon as everyone heard Li Zhi speak, they immediately held their breath and listened quietly. Li Zhi's unhurried voice began to float around the place. (End of chapter)
