Chapter 525
When leaving the slum, Chen Jing had turned off the holographic disguise activator on his body, revealing his true face.
Now that the mission is over, the disguise will naturally end.
He is no longer the hacker Bai Long who was born at the bottom, but the master of Weiyang Palace... Zhenjun Huai Jing.
"It's a rare time to get together and take a walk with senior brother." Wei Taoist said softly without looking back.
Hearing this, Chen Jing did not dare to say anything more. After all, judging from the memory of "Zhenjun Huaijing", he still respected this senior brother very much, and he had practiced with Turing as early as a hundred years ago. At that time, he had received a lot of care from this senior brother...
But in the memory of "Zhenjun Huaijing", Wei Taoist is not a person who likes to go shopping on the street, let alone staying in crowded places. This is very similar to "Zhenjun Huaijing" himself. They both like to be secluded. ...Better to be alone!
So why does this old man take me shopping?
Chen Jing thought hard and couldn't get any answer.
He even began to wonder if his identity had been exposed... But no matter how much he thought about it, he shouldn't. If his identity was really exposed, Turing would not send a Taoist priest to die.
Or does this old man know something?
For example...knowing that the "true immortal" is his apprentice?
"Huai Jing."
"Senior brother, tell me!"
In the encrypted private channel, Wei Taoist's voice was not clear, but Chen Jing could hear the loneliness in his tone.
"You should know what Master is trying to do by convening the 'Six Decree Dharma Conference'."
"...I know." Chen Jing did not avoid the question and answered calmly, "Every time the 'Six Orders Dharma Conference' is held, we have to select a new president and vice-president. This is already a routine. "
"This time, you have a chance." Wei Daoshi said straight to the point without being polite to Chen Jing, "If you have this idea, I can vote for you with at least four senior brothers."
so……
Should I answer yes or no?
Saying no, it seems too hypocritical, and it doesn't look like the frank temperament of "Zhenjun Huaijing".
Say yes...
"have."
Chen Jing thought about it and decided to tell the truth, but he hid his truest thoughts under a reason that could deceive everyone.
"I want to go one step further, at least beyond the realm of the president and the others, and stand on a higher ground to see what the so-called 'great road' actually is."
Regarding the answer given by Chen Jing, Wei Taoist expressed that he was not surprised. It seemed that he had known that Chen Jing would say this all along. After all, everyone knew how obsessed and fanatical "Zhenjun Huaijing" was about the so-called "Dao"... He didn't want to Progress is the weird thing!
"In every election, Master's subjective will only accounts for 50% of the votes, and the remaining votes come from the leadership of the Nine and Eighteen Palaces..."
Wei Daoshi said calmly, sounding like a reminder or a knock.
"I can see that Master is very optimistic about you now. His subjective intention should be to push you to the top, but now there is no legitimate reason... because your contribution to the research association has been too low over the years, and you only care about Focus on cultivating the Tao without caring about external things.”
Hearing what Wei Taoist said, Chen Jing did not refute, because what he said was true.
In the seminar, "Zhenjun Huaijing" is the kind of person who keeps his head down while working without saying a word. Whether he is cultivating Taoism or helping Turing deal with some "shady things", he keeps his head down and keeps silent. , no matter how much you do, you won’t be seen.
Of course, this is also related to the character of "Zhenjun Huaijing". After all, his temper is like this. He never cares about the opinions of outsiders, let alone the so-called "false reputation".
"In addition, you just killed Xie Shanke a few days ago..." Wei Daoshi walked faster and faster, and his voice became clearer, "Although I don't like that kid, you can kill him if you want." "Killing, it really made a lot of people have opinions about you."
Chen Jing followed the footsteps of the Taoist priest without saying a word, walking faster and faster, and even the scenery around him gradually turned into a blur.
"They are not angry because you killed Xie Shanke, but because of your character... From the fact that you killed Xie Shanke, it can be seen that if you rise to power, their life will definitely not be easy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Taoist paused and suddenly turned back to look at Chen Jing.
"You want to shake up the seminar, right?"
"Yes." Chen Jing nodded without hesitation, "This organization is too free and loose and needs to be reorganized."
"I understand, but others may not."
The Taoist priest turned around and continued walking forward.
"There are good and bad things about killing Xie Shanke."
"The good thing is that Master finally has you in his eyes, and it has also frightened many brothers with evil intentions, but the bad thing is... they immediately understood that as long as you sit in the position of president, their The good times are coming to an end.”
Hearing this, Chen Jing smiled noncommittally, but did not refute.
"So your election for the president is bound to not go well, but as Master is optimistic about it, it is possible." Hearing Chen Jing's laughter, Wei Dao Shi also laughed, "So, senior brother is planning to provide help in times of need... …But it’s the icing on the cake!”
"Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it." Chen Jing looked at the old man walking faster and faster in front of him, and the doubts in his heart still lingered.
"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point."
The non-Taoist priest's steps slowed down slightly and his voice gradually became lower.
"You know what kind of personality you have, brother. You are definitely not the kind of person who repays a favor. But I do have something I want you to help me with... But let me be clear, even if you don't help me, I will help you through this hurdle, because I like you much more than others."
"Brother, you say!" Chen Jing did not hesitate at all and directly agreed to the old man's request, "As long as I can help, I will definitely help you!"
"Please ask the Heavenly Venerable for me."
Wei Yushi sighed, his hoarse tone revealing a trace of bitterness.
"I only have that one disciple..."
Chapter 779 Li Mobai's Changes (Part 1)
Chen Jing actually understood Wei Yushi's feelings. In the eyes of this old man, Li Mobai might be like a grandson. He is called a disciple, but he is more like a family member. The efforts he has put into this disciple are far beyond what outsiders can imagine.
When Chen Jing returned to the surface world for repairs, he had heard Li Mobai say that Wei Yushi might have discovered something, and he also knew that there was some irreconcilable contradiction between Li Mobai and Turing, but the old man didn't know what the specific content of this contradiction was... He only knew that his apprentice had learned bad things.
Yes, that's all.
At most, he would grab Li Mobai and beat him up, scold him a few ugly words, and say something cruel to watch out for him to destroy his relatives for the sake of justice... That's it, that's it.
The old man didn't report this matter to Turing.
He didn't really punish the apprentice.
All this was said by Li Mobai himself, so Chen Jing didn't doubt the authenticity of this matter.
At this moment, when he heard the old man say "I only have that one apprentice...", Chen Jing understood it all at once.
Is that the apprentice?
That's a relative.
The first half of Wei Yushi's life was a standard template for cultivating immortals. He had a lot of things like "the Supreme Forgets Love" and "the Great Dao is Unkind". So, apart from cultivating, this old man didn't even have any friends around him, let alone finding a wife and having children. Only his fellow apprentices could accompany him.
Now the old man is no longer able to do it.
As he got older, his determination to cultivate the Tao was no longer so firm.
He finally understood one thing.
His life was just like this, and he could see the end at a glance, so why bother fighting?
But life is like a play, and it just so happened that when the old man was discouraged, Li Mobai suddenly appeared.
Temperament, personality, and how to deal with people.
All of this seemed to be copied from Wei Yushi as a template.
And the most important thing is...
Li Mobai's "roots" were too terrifying. His sequence level promotion speed was so fast that there was no second one in the history of the entire Hanging City.
What leader of the Nine Palaces and Eighteen Palaces?
What president and vice president?
As long as Li Mobai is given a little more time, Wei Yushi will not doubt the potential of his apprentice. He firmly believes that this guy can cross the boundary between heaven and man and reach the realm that no Taoist priest has ever set foot on.
Their temperaments and personalities are compatible.
He is so motivated in his cultivation.
Among the young disciples of this generation, Li Mobai is a unique leader.
So how could Wei Yushi not value him?
It is no exaggeration to say.
Wei Yushi has placed all the hope that he almost abandoned on Li Mobai, so for him, Li Mobai is not only a disciple, but also a successor of some kind of inheritance... like a father and son, or a grandfather and grandson.
"Your disciple? Li Mobai?" Chen Jing asked in full accordance with the character of "Huai Jing Zhenjun", "Why do you want to plead for him? What did he do wrong to make Tianzun angry?"
"Who knows." Wei Yushi smiled bitterly, "During this period of time, my disciple has been confined to 'Lihentian' by Tianzun. I don't know what the kid did to make Tianzun so angry... Junior brother, can you help me plead for mercy?"
"Senior brother, why don't you go to Tianzun to plead for mercy yourself?" Chen Jing asked back with pretended doubt, "I think it may not be good for an outsider like me to intervene in this matter?"
"It will be even worse if I go and say it." Wei Yushi shook his head helplessly, "Now Tianzun can't listen to me. As long as I mention this matter in front of Tianzun, He will either interrupt directly or say... He will handle the matter between him and Mobai and let me not worry."
Seeing that Chen Jing still had a look of "confusion", Wei Yushi gritted his teeth and finally couldn't help but whispered.
"Huai Jing, I think my disciple is in a very dangerous situation now."
"Why?" Chen Jing looked at the old man curiously.
"I don't know how he offended Tianzun, but I feel... Tianzun is really angry, and has even revealed his intention to kill him more than once." Wei Yushi's voice became lower and lower, but he knew it was useless because all the alchemists were under Turing's "supervision".
In other words.
Their current conversation is being monitored by Turing simultaneously.
So from a certain perspective, Wei Yushi is talking to Chen Jing and hinting at Turing, wanting the master to hear it.
"Tianzun wants to kill him?" Chen Jing continued to pretend to be confused. Although he knew everything in his heart, he still had to react. Who made him use the account of "Huai Jing Zhenjun" now?
"Yes." Wei Yushi nodded, his tone was full of certainty, "Although I don't know what my disciple did, I can be sure that Tianzun did reveal his intention to kill him several times, and based on my understanding of Tianzun..."
"You don't know anything."
Suddenly, Turing's voice sounded in Chen Jing and Wei Yushi's minds. It appeared without warning, which showed that it had heard Chen Jing's conversation with the old man before, but it just didn't speak.
"Master! Master!"
Compared with the stubborn Yu Huaijing, Wei Yushi was obviously more afraid of this master. In addition, with the relationship with Li Mobai, he now respected and feared Turing...
When he shouted the word "Master", Wei Yushi almost subconsciously stopped. His action came without warning, causing Chen Jing, who was following closely, to almost bump into his back.
For pedestrians on the road.
Chen Jing and Wei Yushi seemed to appear out of thin air.
So when they suddenly stopped, they scared many people.
After all, this is the commercial district in the city center, and it is the rush hour. The road is crowded with people. Even though Chen Jing and his team walked on the side of the road next to the carriageway and avoided the crowd as much as possible, they still scared the passers-by to stop all their movements.
It was as if time had stopped.
The pedestrians on the street froze and dared not move. Even the children chasing each other stopped. Everyone looked at Chen Jing and his team as if they were looking at a disaster star... In those eyes, Chen Jing could not see awe, but only fear, unforgettable fear.
Think about it.
For the ordinary residents of these suspended cities, the alchemists are indeed like disaster stars...
Their personalities are perverse and violent, and they are slightly morbid.
They regard human lives as worthless and have become an iron label.
Sometimes, even if you don't provoke these alchemists, but just happen to walk by them, you will die for some terrible reasons such as "he is in a bad mood and kills a few people to relieve his fatigue."
At this moment, Turing's voice suddenly rang again.
"Your disciple is very good, don't worry, maybe he will be able to return soon..."
Chapter 780 Li Mobai's Changes (Part 2)
"I'll wait for you to come back here--"
"Waiting for you to come back and let your peach blossom bloom--"
In the alchemy room of Weiyang Palace, the medium Ah Qi listened to the electronic rock music coming from the cochlea while carefully wiping the "alchemy furnace" with flashing neon lights with a rag in his hand.
