"Senior sister, your complexion is getting better and better, and you seem to be more beautiful than at noon. Have you eaten something good? Give me a taste."
At night, in Ye Mingyue's palace, tables filled with delicacies were sitting in a circle.
Wanying, Du Bailing and Wen Yu are all here.
Ye Mingyue glanced at Wen Yu and said, "Eat your food. Food made by such a true spiritual being can't stop your mouth, can it?"
"Hey, I just want to know, senior sister, how can you become so beautiful and why are you so mean to others?" Wen Yu said coquettishly.
Wan Ying lowered her head and snickered beside her, Wen Yu caught her immediately: "Xiao Wan Ying, what are you laughing at? Call aunt to listen."
"Aunt..." Wan Ying said softly.
"Hey, you are so good." Wen Yu laughed.
"Hmph, are you taking advantage of me? I just asked Wan Ying to call me sister, and you actually asked her to call you aunt." Ye Mingyue said with a slightly cold face.
"Senior sister, you are just joking, haha, you are just joking. From now on, Wanying can call me sister. I really don't understand why senior sister doesn't let her call her senior sister. Hey, my aunt's seniority is gone." Wen Yu said with a look on his face. moan and groan.
"Wan Ying is so cute, don't bully her. Go bully Xiao Jiu next time if you can." Ye Mingyue said.
When Wen Yu heard Xiao Jiu, he quickly shook his head and said, "I don't dare to bully King Xiao Jiu. That little girl is really a demon king. I can't bully him."
"Xiaojiu has been in seclusion. You have no chance to bully her." Chen Ke said from the side.
"Still in retreat, she hasn't recovered yet?" Wen Yu asked unexpectedly.
She knew that Xiaojiu was in seclusion, but she didn't know how serious Xiaojiu's injuries were and what Xiaojiu had lost. Wen Yu was a little confused when Chen Ke said that Xiaojiu had not yet come out of seclusion.
Chen Ke said: "She has too many things to recover, so the retreat time will naturally be much longer than usual. I just hope she can get out of isolation as soon as possible."
Chen Ke didn't need to consider Xiaojiu's safety. With Marshal Shui Heng's clone around, there wouldn't be any danger. But Chen Ke was not sure whether Xiaojiu could succeed. After all, this was the first time he had seen such a thing. Whether he could succeed or not still depended on Xiaojiu's own luck.
"Oh, I thought I could see Xiaojiu when I went to Lingkong Mountain tomorrow, but who knew I wouldn't be able to see him again." Wen Yu sighed.
Ye Mingyue said: "Xiaojiu is a good child. We owe her something. If she needs anything, I will definitely satisfy it."
Chen Ke said: "It's okay, she doesn't need anything else now, as long as the retreat is successful."
"Yeah." Ye Mingyue nodded.
The meal ended amidst Wen Yu's commotion. For practitioners, food is no longer necessary, but eating a meal can also give practitioners a sense of ordinary life.
It’s not that you can’t let go of ordinary life, but every way of life may give people some rare insights, and food, clothing, housing, and transportation inherently contain the supreme principles of the human race, even those with extremely deep cultivation levels. Strong people often cannot help but appreciate life.
The way of heaven and earth is related to mountains and rivers, vegetation, sun and moon, yin and yang.
Also with the world, with life.
Tao follows nature, and everything is natural.
The power of nature is of course different. Who can see another world and feel another life is the ultimate mystery of life.
Everyone is seeking the Tao, but no one knows what the Tao is. They just pursue it based on the hazy feeling in their hearts.
Immortality has a direction, but Tao has no direction.
There is no specific path as to where to go or how to go.
Where is the Tao?
…
The afternoon of the second day.
On May 9, Chen Ke took Ye Mingyue and others back to Lingkong Mountain.
After learning that Chen Ke was back, Li Kui immediately came to see him.
After Li Kui saluted everyone, Chen Ke nodded slightly and said, "Has Guo Zhen, whom I told you through the spirit stone message with you, arrived?"
Li Kui said: "It hasn't arrived yet. I sent people to see it. They still have one day to arrive."
Huayue Sect is in the western area of Shiwan Hengduan Mountain, and Lingkong Mountain is in the east end of Shiwan Hengduan Mountain. If you want to go from Huayue Sect to Lingkong Mountain, you have to walk for ten and a half days, especially since Guo Zhen is still here. Not alone, but with a group of people around you, it is normal to walk slower.
Chen Ke nodded and said: "You can do this yourself. This Guo Zhen has experienced secular officialdom and has some methods for development and growth. He can lead Lingkong Mountain to another path."
"Yes." Li Kui nodded and said.
Chen Ke said: "You put down some power and practice more. The most important thing for us practitioners is our realm and strength. Sufficient strength is the foundation."
"My subordinates know that I will ask someone to take care of Guo Zhen." Li Kui ordered.
Chen Ke nodded slightly and said: "Well, the path to immortality is long. If you have been immersed in the power of this sect, you will have no hope in this life if you want to break through to the golden elixir realm. Only by putting down these chores can you have a chance to see through the mystery of the golden elixir realm. Obstacle. That's all I have to say, you go down."
"yes."
After Li Kui saluted the people in the palace, he led them away.
Wen Yu next to him asked: "Do you really like that person named Guo Zhen so much?"
Chen Ke said: "It's not a fancy, but Guo Zhen is the most suitable for the current Lingkong Mountain. The current Lingkong Mountain is a bit too conservative. I need someone who is not so superstitious about me to lead Lingkong Mountain to a stable development path. "
"This is what a dynasty should do. What he does is to build Lingkong Mountain into a sect similar to a dynasty." Ye Mingyue said slowly.
Only later did she see the most essential point about Chen Ke. Chen Ke did not give up his loyalty to Lingkong Mountain, but wanted to exchange his loyalty to Lingkong Mountain for his loyalty to the sect leader.
Whoever reaches the position of sect leader, the people of Lingkong Mountain will be loyal to him.
The last Wanying incident was actually not the fault of that person, because they were only taught to be loyal to the sect master, but were not told how to treat the sect master's disciples.
So Chen Ke found a suitable person to experiment with transforming Lingkong Mountain.
Because of Li Kui's fixed concept, he could not change the existing system and rules of Lingkong Mountain, so he could only look for them from the outside.
That's why Guo Zhen appeared.
For Chen Ke, it didn't matter whether Lingkong Mountain existed or not, but when he looked at the many disciples in Lingkong Mountain, these people were all loyal subordinates to him. They had not given up on him, and he would not give up on them.
Therefore, Chen Ke is ready to give Lingkong Mountain a future. Even if Chen Ke, the supreme leader, is no longer around, Lingkong Mountain can still support its own landscape.
This is why Chen Ke needs Guo Zhen.
If according to Li Kui's concept, once Chen Ke is gone, it won't matter whether Lingkong Mountain is alive or dead, and Li Kui and others will even choose to live in seclusion.
But Guo Zhen is different. He has ambitions and ideas. Chen Ke wants to see how far Guo Zhen's abilities can go. What will Lingkong Mountain be transformed into by him? The changes here are different, and the situation here is also different. Whoever can see the future can continue to be in charge of Lingkong Mountain.
Li Kui worked hard and made great achievements, but Chen Ke didn't want him to deal with sect affairs all day long and have his monastic affairs affected by his mundane affairs.
In the past, Chen Ke did not dare to say anything, but now Chen Ke can guarantee that he will at least give Li Kui a golden elixir realm as a reward.
Li Kui left the main hall and walked out of Chen Ke's fifth palace. The two confidants beside him were a little unhappy.
"Chief Manager, do we really want to hand over the power to the newcomer? Whether he can pass our test is still a matter of doubt. Besides, you have been in charge of Lingkong Mountain for so long, who is dissatisfied with you? How many people can he have as an outsider? Submit him?"
"Yes, Chief Manager, if you don't do anything, we will not be bullied to death by him in the future. Manager Hua is not at odds with us. If Guo Zhen joins forces with him, our situation will not be good. ”
The two of them analyzed their situation within the sect and felt great pressure.
The two of them are not the masters of various palaces, but the stewards of Li Kui. Most of the orders given by Li Kui were carried out by these two people to arrange the affairs within the sect.
It can be said that these two people are the real implementers of the power of Lingkong Mountain.
Li Kui said: "The sect leader only asked me to delegate power, and did not say that he would not let me take charge of it. Moreover, this Guo Zhen is only at the same level as you. You don't have to worry about anything. Fully cooperate with Guo Zhen and restructure the mountain gate. Don't delay the sect master. It’s a big deal, otherwise I won’t let you off lightly!”
"Yes!" The two of them looked reluctant, but they couldn't resist.
Li Kui looked at his two right-hand men. Although they were a little selfish, they were still very good at dealing with the expansion of the mountain gate. He patted them on the shoulders and said: "Work hard. Once this matter is completed, I will ask the sect master for a reward. The two of you are not talented enough. It is already your limit to reach the early stage of Condensing Core Realm. I will ask the sect leader to help you improve your cultivation level. It is not impossible to reach the late stage of Condensing Core Realm."
The two looked at each other with expressions of surprise. Compared with any rights, the improvement of their own realm is the most important thing.
"Thank you, senior brother!"
They both said in unison.
Li Kui waved his hand and said: "You don't need to thank me, just work hard. Remember to inform each pavilion master about this, and also inform Hua Moxi and Ma Yangming, telling them not to hinder Guo Zhen from implementing his plan."
"yes!"
Everyone said in unison.
"You don't need to worry, there won't be any accidents in this matter. Lingkong Mountain has always been the sect master's Lingkong Mountain, and no one can take it away! As long as we are loyal to the sect master, we don't care about other things!" Li Kui said.
"yes!"
The two said.
They are different from Li Kui. Li Kui followed Chen Ke from the beginning. The two have a close relationship. Li Kui is loyal to Chen Ke and Chen Ke will not give up on him. Li Kui didn't think that Chen Ke was suppressing him by removing his power. If Chen Ke wanted to deal with him, it would be easier to just slap him and kill him...
