One day later, the sect competition came to an end. Yu Zhi also followed Cangshan's team and prepared to return to Cangshan.
During this period, Yan Yi never looked for Yu Zhi again.
Yan Yi's calmness made Yu Zhi feel uneasy. Especially when he thought of his promise to Yan Yi to do something.
Those who do not keep their promises will swallow a thousand needles.
Yu Zhi suddenly remembered this sentence and trembled all over. He was extremely sure that he had fallen into Yan Yi's trap. As for what kind of pit it is, it is still unknown.
"Junior Brother Li, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Yi asked.
Yu Zhi found that it was really good to have a person like Jiang Yi beside him. Jiang Yi's martial arts qualifications are mediocre, but in Cangshan, from the sect secrets to the registered disciples, he has some understanding of which elders are at odds with each other and which disciples are in small groups.
This is Cangshan’s know-it-all, a living Cangshan survival guide.
Yu Zhi shook his head and said, "I was wondering, how many disciples has Cangshan recruited this time?"
Jiang Yi pointed at a group of people and said, "Well, those are the ones."
Yu Zhi looked over and counted, "Why are there only twelve people?" In Yu Zhi's opinion, this number was a bit small.
Jiang Yi smiled and said: "You don't know something about this. After all, Cangshan is one of the top three sects in the North, and it has higher requirements for its disciples. The strength of some ordinary disciples is enough to rival the chief disciples of some sects."
"And the sect competition is just an opportunity. Cangshan recruits disciples individually every year, and about a hundred people become official disciples."
While the two were talking, Qi Zhengchu came over.
"Jiang Yi, please take care of these new disciples later and don't get lost." Qi Zhengchu said.
Jiang Yi nodded respectfully. Qi Zhengchu was Cang Shui's eldest disciple, and his status in Cangshan was much higher than that of ordinary disciples like Jiang Yi. Naturally, he could give orders to Jiang Yi.
After saying that, Qi Zhengchu glanced at Yu Zhi, turned around and left.
Yu Zhi was puzzled that after he changed his name to Li Zhi, he had no intersection with Qi Zhengchu. But looking at Qi Zhengchu's appearance, he seemed a little dissatisfied with himself.
Yu Zhi said blankly: "Have I ever offended him?"
Jiang Yi smiled secretly and explained: "I heard, I just heard, that one of the quotas for Qingyan Body Refining this year belongs to Senior Brother Zhao Han. But Elder Cangjin didn't promise to give you the quota. This quota turned out to be Senior Brother Zhao Han. of."
Yu Zhi knew who Zhao Han was. It was Zhao Han and Qi Zhengchu who were drinking together in Qinggu's tavern.
In response, Yu Zhi just smiled. He would not pass up Qing Yan's opportunity to refine his body to others.
Cangshan has quotas for Qingyan body training every year, either those who have made great achievements or are elite disciples within the sect.
The appearance of Yu Zhi is destined to occupy a quota, so someone will withdraw from this Qingyan body training. In Cang Jin's eyes, a genius who can ring the bell is much more important than Zhao Han.
After a cup of tea, Cangshan's team left Shenyin Pavilion.
When they arrived, three elders from Cangshan led the team. In addition to Cang Jin, there were two other elders. Cangshan has a total of forty disciples, all of whom are elite disciples of Cangshan. Their cultivation level is at least the fifth level of Armor Breaking.
When we returned, there were twelve more people in the team, including Yu Zhi.
Therefore, the chore of making fire and cooking naturally fell on these new disciples.
Cangshan is two days' journey from Shenyin Pavilion. The mountain is high and the water is long, and the mountain road is difficult to travel. After walking for a day, Yu Zhi and his party set up camp by the river.
After walking for half a day tomorrow, we can reach Cangshan Mountain in the afternoon, but tonight the group must sleep in the mountains.
Jiang Yi did not dare to command Yu Zhi, but he did bossy towards the other eleven new disciples.
After arranging everything, Jiang Yi sat across from Yu Zhi and exhaled, as if he was exhausted.
Yu Zhi smiled and said: "I haven't seen you do anything, why are you so tired?"
Jiang Yi looked to the other side, and in that direction were the three elders of Cang Jin, and Cang Wanjun and Qi Zhengchu, disciples with prestige in Cangshan.
"There are not many things to do, but they are all hard work. Not to mention Elder Cang Jin and the others, these brothers and sisters are also difficult to maintain."
Yu didn't know if he believed it or not, "Is it as difficult as you said?"
Jiang Yi sighed deeply. Jiang Yi had done all this work before, and he knew it was not easy. "Senior brother, I have a message for you. In Cangshan, you must choose the right faction and follow the right people. Only in this way can you live longer."
Just such a sentence made Yu Zhi realize that the internal battle in Cangshan was also in dire straits.
Choose a faction and follow the right people.
This is very much like the party struggle in the great Chu court.
Yu Zhi rolled his eyes and asked, "Senior Brother Jiang, please give me some advice."
Jiang Yi skillfully reached out to ask for money, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt something was wrong.
Facing Yu Zhi's weird look, Jiang Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I'm used to it."
Yu Zhi sneered and said, "You should change your habit in the future."
Jiang Yi avoided Yu Zhi's gaze, coughed, and whispered: "In Cangshan Mountain, in addition to the mountain lord, there are five elders of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. These five elders have a transcendent status and are the most powerful under the mountain lord. Powerful people.”
"There are also many ordinary elders who are in charge of Cangshan affairs. However, these elders are all dependent on the five elders. Then there are geniuses like Cang Wanjun and Qi Zhengchu who are among the best in the sect."
Yu Zhi couldn't help but look at Cang Wanjun, and the other party seemed to feel something and looked at Yu Zhi.
Their eyes met in the air. Cang Wanjun smiled slightly, nodded in greeting, and then looked away.
"Senior Brother Wanjun, what's wrong?" someone asked.
Cang Wanjun shook his head and said, "It's okay."
As Cang Wanjun, there is no need to be so polite with a new disciple.
But Cang Wanjun knew that this person was recruited into Cangshan by his grandfather Cang Jin and belonged to his own ranks. You should also be polite to others.
Jiang Yi continued: "The five elders are divided into two factions. Elder Cangjin and Elder Cangtu are on one side, and Elder Cangshui and Elder Cangmu are on the other side. There will also be many fights between the two sides, including their disciples. But because In the presence of Senior Brother Wanjun, Elder Cangjin’s side is basically the winner.”
Yu Zhi finally understood something and asked: "I remember there is another Canghuo elder. Which side does he belong to?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yi's expression became strange.
"Elder Canghuo is more... that."
Yu Zhi recalled Yan Yi's description of Cang Huo, and now that he heard what Jiang Yi said, he became even more curious.
"What does that mean?"
Jiang Yi said awkwardly: "Elder Canghuo does not belong to any side. To be precise, he has always been alone. He has no disciples under his disciples and no friends around him. He has a wide range of interests and hobbies, except for practicing martial arts?"
Yu Zhi asked doubtfully: "Then his martial arts cultivation is very weak?"
Jiang Yi shook his head again and said: "No, rumor has it that he is the strongest one under the Mountain Lord. But no one has ever seen Elder Canghuo take action."
"Elder Canghuo has a bit of a weird temperament. He likes to lock himself in the courtyard and study anything except martial arts, formations, talismans, medicine, alchemy, and even weapon refining... except for martial arts practice."
"It is said that some disciples who have been in the profession for more than ten years have never seen Elder Canghuo and are afraid to approach Elder Canghuo's residence."
Yu Zhi sounds mysterious. He does not practice martial arts, but he is the strongest person under the master of Cangshan Mountain.
Jiang Yi swallowed his saliva and continued: "Some people have always said that Elder Canghuo's place... is haunted. So no one dares to come close. In just one year, the disciples who went to deliver food were scared crazy. Five.”
"Is it so exaggerated?" Yu Zhi asked suspiciously.
Jiang Yi changed the subject at the right time and said: "Let's not talk about Elder Canghuo. In short, remember that you are now on Elder Cangjin's side, so don't make yourself unhappy in both directions."
Yu Zhi was startled and pointed at himself, "When did I become Elder Cang Jin's person?"
Jiang Yi looked like he hated iron and said, "Oh, my Junior Brother Li. Tell me, Elder Cangjin recruited you into Cangshan Mountain, and gave you the quota for Zhao Hanqingyan Body Refining. Tell me, you Isn’t this the disciple of Elder Cang Jin?”
Yu Zhi suddenly realized it and said quickly: "Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang, for reminding me. I will never forget it."
Jiang Yi approached Yu Zhi and whispered, "I hope Junior Brother Li will become rich and don't forget me."
Yu Zhi did not expect that there were so many sects in the sect, and the battles in the arena were not inferior to those in the court.
However, he did not enter Cangshan Mountain to engage in any overt and covert fights. The important thing was Biluo Qingyan.
Yu Zhi originally had enmity with Cang Shui and others, so it would be good to use the help of Cang Jin and others to deal with Cang Shui.
Follow the faction and stand in line!
The person Yu Zhi wanted to be with the most was the weird Cang Huo.
But how to follow Cang Huo to practice the "Fire Control Technique" requires careful planning after entering Cang Mountain.
At this time, a delicate female disciple brought the food and said, "Senior Brother Li, dinner is ready."
The other Cangshan disciples all looked sideways. This female disciple had a good appearance and a good figure, and she even wanted to get closer to Yu Zhi.
envy, jealousy, hate!
Yu Zhi felt the hateful eyes around him, and sighed in his heart again, the disputes between the rivers and lakes are mostly caused by the disaster of beauty.
...
In the plum garden of Beiliang City, Xiao Jingyao was so furious that more than one medicine bowl on the ground was broken.
The several doctors kneeling in front of them were all trembling with fear, their heads lowered.
"Wan'er has been recuperating for several days, why is her condition getting worse and worse?" Xiao Jingyao said angrily.
No one dared to answer for fear of offending the furious prince again.
In the past few days, Wan'er's body, which should have recovered, has become weaker and weaker. She has been wandering on the edge of life and death several times, and almost entered the gate of hell.
But Xiao Jingyao invited several doctors, but they were unable to find out the cause.
"Quack doctors, a bunch of quack doctors. Come on, pull them out and chop them down!"
When everyone heard this, they all begged for mercy.
"Your Highness, I have another method that you can try." Someone shouted.
Xiao Jingyao even said angrily: "Is Wan'er's body used for you to test medicine? A quack!"
The man hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, there is a miracle doctor in Beiliang City. She will definitely be able to save Miss Wan'er."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingyao said: "I will give you another chance!"
In the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, the queen wearing a phoenix robe looks to the north from the railing. This is the princess who was appointed by the Emperor of Chu, Xiao Yuande, when he was still a prince. After Xiao Yuande ascended the throne, she naturally became the empress of the world.
Behind the queen followed a young eunuch.
"What's going on in Beiliang City?" the queen asked, her red lips slightly parted.
The young eunuch could hear the queen's voice even though he was far away. He took a few steps forward respectfully and replied softly: "Reply to your Majesty, the matter is settled."
The eunuch naturally knew what was going on, after all, he personally supervised all of this.
The queen lamented deeply and said, "My prince is too soft-hearted. If he were born in an ordinary family, that would be fine. But in an emperor's family, if he is soft-hearted, he will be the one who dies."
"Since there are some things that he can't do, let me, the queen, do it for him."
The eunuch stopped answering. He had followed the queen for many years and got to where he is today. Naturally, he was familiar with the queen's temperament.
Some words need to be answered, and some words just need to be ignored.
"Chuchen is a good child with a simple mind. But Li Xiuyuan is not like that. If Chuchen marries her, she cannot be left out. In this way, Li Xiuyuan will help Yao'er with peace of mind. It's only the fault of Wan'er that girl's life was short."
Xiao Jingyao would never have imagined that his mother would arrange for someone to send a bowl of poison to Wan'er.
If it hadn't been for the doctors working day and night to treat her over the past few days, Wan'er would not have survived that day.
"After more than ten years of peace, the battle in the court is about to begin again."
