Chapter 390 The leader kills three birds with one stone
Jiang You entered the Immortal Tomb at the edge of the Immortal Tomb in the south, close to Canglan Sect, while Feng Bujing was at the north of the Immortal Tomb.
As long as you pass through the Immortal Tomb, you can reach Canglan Sect.
But the Immortal Tomb, let alone Feng Bu Jing, is a place where there is no way in or out even if Chen Yulou and others are allowed to repair it.
After Feng Bujing guessed where he was, his heart suddenly became cold and he cursed Chen Yulou in his heart for wanting to take his own life, so he just did it and actually teleported himself to such a realm.
If he died here, this jade box would be completely impossible to get out of, and no one would be able to get it!
Feng Bujing stayed at the original site for a long time, planning to return the same way and try to see if he could get around it from other places.
But when he turned back and walked a certain distance, he saw that the dragon crocodile had died in the battle with the insect swarm, and a large number of insect swarms surrounded his body and gnawed on his flesh and blood.
The dragon crocodile was already an extremely powerful being, but it was still defeated by the insect swarm, and even had no ability to escape. Feng Bujing was extremely afraid of the insect swarm, and did not know what kind of insect it was.
But it must be very beneficial.
He wanted to go around without disturbing the insect swarm.
Who would have known that after only two steps, the insect swarm discovered his presence, flew up from the corpse with a buzzing sound, covered the sky and the sun, turned into a black mist, and flew towards him.
Feng Bujing was so forced that he quickly returned. The swarm of insects chased them for a while, and seemed to know that the front was an immortal tomb, so they stopped.
"It's over, the way back is blocked by this swarm of insects!"
Feng Bujing thought to himself that with his own strength, if he rushed out forcefully, his end would be no different from that of the dragon crocodile.
"Isn't this just being trapped here to death?"
Just when Feng Bujing was distressed, he suddenly remembered what Jiang You often said, there is no perfect path for everyone.
"There is no perfect path for mankind. There is no death or life in the world. There must be a ray of life. But where is this ray of life?"
Feng Bujing took out the tortoise shell and wanted to do another fortune telling.
However, after Guijia automatically calculated a hexagram for Feng Bujing for the first time, there was no movement, just like a mortal thing. Feng Bujing fiddled with it for a long time, but there was still no response.
He simply took out the jade box and put it together later, wanting to see if there would be other changes if the two came into contact.
Just when Feng Bujing touched the jade box to the tortoise shell, sure enough, the tortoise shell suddenly glowed brightly, and then began to tremble violently. With a click, a crack opened on the back of the tortoise shell.
Immediately, red light flew out directly. This time, it did not turn into the copper coin hexagram, but directly entered Feng Bujing's mind.
Feng Bujing's eyes suddenly felt a sharp pain, and then a red light appeared. He felt something in his heart, and he suddenly looked up at the sky above his head.
His eyes suddenly opened wider than a copper bell.
He saw a large gray mountain floating above his head. The mountain was made up of countless threads of different colors. It was huge and boundless, and the end could not be seen at a glance.
"What is this? Why does it appear above my head?"
And after he looked directly at this mountain that he had never seen before, tears of blood suddenly flowed from his eyes, and he closed them immediately in pain.
And the tortoise shell also cracked a crack again.
At the same time, the location of the only ray of life here finally appeared in his mind.
Feng Bujing's eyes returned to normal. When he looked up again, it was empty and the mountains could no longer be seen!
"What are those intricate lines on this mountain? Turtle shells are used for divination based on cause and effect. The previous divination showed that it was a land of nine extremes, and death was inevitable. Why was it possible to find life this time?'
Could it be that the first divination was based on my karma, but this time I used the jade box to touch it, I was divination based on other people's karma.
And that big mountain is the manifestation of cause and effect. Just seeing it will cause the tortoise shell to crack, and even the divination will crack!
Such a terrifying cause and effect can only be achieved by seniors! "
Feng Bujing didn't expect that even now, he could still use Shangjiang You's light to help him find a chance to survive.
"That's not right. It's not just because I touched the tortoise shell with the jade box. It's because I just recalled what my senior said before. This sentence is the real introduction!"
Feng Bujing also slowly began to understand a little bit about cause and effect, and at the same time, he also showed signs of using it to enter the Tao.
But now, he was still looking at the flowers in the fog, vague and hazy, unable to see clearly.
Now that he knew where the vitality was, Feng Bujing was nervous, but he had nothing to hesitate and started to move forward. As soon as he passed a few stone cliffs, he saw a lot of blood stains and corpses.
This corpse has been turned into a mummy. Judging from its clothes, it is extremely ancient and does not look like a contemporary person. The blood stains are also black and dried into a piece.
Feng Bujing felt a creepy feeling, and he consciously stayed far away, without the slightest intention of stepping forward to touch the corpse.
After walking some distance further, the hairs all over his body suddenly stood up, and he stared at the corner of the cliff in front of him, "What is it?"
Just now, he wanted to see a humanoid black shadow flashing away in front of him.
But in a place like this, even if there are people, it is impossible for them to be so arrogant and dare to fly around. Moreover, the power of forbidden air is still there, so even if they want to fly, they will not be able to fly.
"Definitely not a human!" Feng Bujing muttered to himself.
If it’s not a human being, it’s probably just weird!
He stared at the corner of the cliff, as if facing a formidable enemy.
After stopping at the same spot for a while, he found that the thing seemed to have left without noticing him, so Feng Bujing continued walking.
And when Feng Bujing fell into the immortal tomb.
Li Zhi, who was in the Canglan Sect, felt that Jiang You's great cause and effect was slowing down.
He was currently standing in the Canglan Sect's punishment hall, and the people in front of him were still arguing over him.
After a while, someone said that Li Zhitian's calamity caused all his disciples to dissolve the power of decay in their bodies, and that his merits for the sect should be offset by his faults.
But some people say that merit should be rewarded, and demerits should be punished.
Some people will say for a while that this matter has not caused any substantial negative effects and a small punishment will suffice.
But some people say that a small punishment is fine. According to the resources consumed by the mountain protection formation, it is enough to make up for three more achievements.
Everyone debated with each other.
But as parties and adjudicators, Li Zhi and Canglan Sect Leader both wandered away.
One is thinking about his own cause and effect, and the other is thinking about whether Li Zhi guessed his thoughts in advance and whether he should take this step.
"Okay, you've pretty much said what should be said and what shouldn't be said. Let the sect leader decide what to do!"
The great elder watched the poor family and the clan tit for tat, and his words became more and more explicit, so he interrupted them in time.
When the great elder spoke, everyone also shut up and looked at the sect leader.
“The merits and demerits do not offset each other. Merits are merits and faults are faults. Merits and faults cannot be confused. If you mix them, people will have a lazy mind.
Li Zhi, do you agree? "
As soon as the sect leader opened his mouth, he directly set the tone for this matter, looking at Li Zhi with majestic eyes, as if he wanted to see through him directly.
"Li Zhi agrees and is willing to be punished!"
"Then follow what Elder Pei said, on top of the consumption of the mountain guard formation, add 30% more as a punishment to show your imitation!
If your own resources are insufficient, then you can slowly make up for it later. When you finish it, you will end it! "
"Sect Master, there must be a payment schedule, otherwise just making excuses to default is not an option!"
"Well, okay, then I will exchange it for a certain amount every month. You can agree on the specific amount!"
Just activating the mountain-protecting formation cost a lot of money, not to mention that it also caused a lot of thunder for Li Zhi.
This is already a huge number, and if it is 30% more, it can already be said to be an astronomical figure.
The sect leader directly handed over the power to determine the amount of payment to the clan, which made the elders of the Han family angry.
Although the people in the clan did not dare to go too far, they could still set a certain amount to keep Li Zhi exhausted.
This can suppress Li Zhi, leaving him with no time or resources to practice properly.
After the Han family elder was angry, he felt chilled again. The sect leader was finally born in a clan. Did he choose the clan in the end?
But after hearing this, the great elder sighed in his heart when he looked at the happy-looking clan elders and said, "Most of this resource will come from you. If you really dare to report the figure of 30%, will you be able to do that?" How happy I am, it’s time to cry in a few days!”
The clan is powerful and holds various important positions in the Canglan Sect all the year round, so it is inevitable that they will line their own pockets.
Although the sect leader is also from a clan, after becoming the sect leader of Canglan, the status of the sect leader must be ranked in front of the clan!
Therefore, the Great Elder has now fully understood the sect master's plan.
First, he used the clan's mouth to convict Li Zhi and pretended to be helpless.
Then he privately expressed his helplessness as the sect leader, and took the opportunity to bring up the matter of marriage again, saying that he could make up for the money as Pei Xuanzhen's grandfather in the name of dowry.
In this case, the elders of the clan are responsible for the crime.
In order to make up for Li Zhi privately, the sect leader not only gave away his granddaughter, but also offered a sky-high dowry to earn Li Zhi's favor.
Then the dowry was dug out of the clan, passed through Li Zhi's hands, and flowed into the clan.
All the benefits will be taken by the suzerain, and at the same time, the purpose of marrying Li Zhi and Pei Xuanzhen can be achieved. At the same time, Li Zhi will also feel the suzerain's kindness to him.
It's like killing three birds with one stone!
Only the clan is injured!
The Great Elder went through this plan in his mind, and he had to say that it was not possible to become the leader of the Canglan Sect just with his cultivation strength.
If he hadn't passed Qi before, looking at the situation at this time, he really wouldn't be able to see any clues.
It seems that everything is going smoothly and developing naturally, without any trace of manipulation by the mastermind behind the scenes!
Hearing this, Li Zhi knew that the cost must be extremely shocking, but at this time he already had a vague guess about the Heavenly Tribulation, which should be related to the causal changes after he joined the sect.
And there is some correlation with Jiang You's cause-and-effect conflict.
Therefore, the sect leader accepted the punishment result without any hesitation.
Seeing Li Zhi's straightforwardness, even the elders of the clan couldn't help but admire Li Zhi.
"In addition to his talent and cultivation, this son has a truly remarkable character. It's such a pity that he is not from my clan, alas!"
After the matters were discussed in the main hall, as soon as Li Zhi left the main hall, the disciples outside gathered around and asked about the situation.
After learning about Li Zhi's punishment, they all felt that it was too serious. Gao Ce immediately organized several close disciples from poor families to go to the sect master to plead for mercy.
But he was stopped by Li Zhi, "I know this well, it doesn't matter, don't make trouble in your life anymore!"
He glanced at the embarrassed-looking clan disciples. They were not stupid, and knew that this result must have been achieved by the elders in his family.
But their background identity is the clan and cannot be changed.
It is not something ordinary people can do when individuals betray their own class interests.
Everyone has not yet entered the Tao and is still in ignorance.
Li Zhi would not ask them with such harsh conditions.
Moreover, this would not be conducive to Li Zhihao's use in reconciling the relationship between the poor family and the clan at the disciple level.
Sure enough, seeing Li Zhi stopping Gao Ce and the others, these people were relieved in their hearts.
If Li Zhi agrees, should they join? If not, what face will he have in the clan in the future?
If the news spreads, other disciples of all sects will look down on themselves.
But joining would mean slapping the clan in the face, which is like smashing the pot after dinner.
There is no way to explain it when I go back!
In such a dilemma, Li Zhi directly suppressed this tendency.
The clan disciples couldn't help but think again, "Could it be that senior brother stopped Gao Ce because he didn't want to embarrass us?"
Thinking of this, I felt ashamed for a moment.
"Senior brother takes such good care of me, yet I am still timid. It's too cowardly!"
Several disciples of the clan gritted their teeth and said, "Senior Brother, I know you are worried about us, but we can't just accept this matter. This amount is too huge and cannot be afforded by just one person. Let me tell you. , let’s contact other sect disciples and jointly plead with the sect master, and those elders seem to have favors obtained in the secret realm, so a letter of petition will not be a problem!”
Li Zhi felt dizzy after hearing this for a while. This immature approach was beyond the reach of this person.
Join forces with outsiders to put pressure on your own clan leader?
What is the difference between this and rebellion?
"Okay!" Li Zhi saw that the others were also looking ready to make a move, and knew that he had to suppress these guys quickly now, but not to cause any trouble behind his back.
"I have made up my mind. If you still recognize me as your senior brother, don't dwell on this matter. Do you understand?"
Li Zhi rarely puts on the airs of senior brother, but once he does, everyone knows that Li Zhi is serious.
Seeing this, no one dared to say anything more, they all said yes!
This scene fell in the eyes of the sect master and several elders. The sect master nodded slightly when he saw this, while the elders of the Han family looked at it with regret in their hearts. The elders of the clan were surprised that everyone went to the secret realm once and allowed Li Zhi to gain such prestige among his disciples. ?
"Okay, haven't you solved the decaying power? Now you will be in the cave, consolidate your cultivation, and don't leave the sect during this period!"
After Li Zhi gave everyone instructions, he returned to his cave. (End of chapter)
