The five elders of Cangshan, metal, wood, water, fire and earth, each have their own authority.
In recent years, Cang Shui has been externally negotiating with the Shaowu Hou Mansion, which represents the Great Chu Dynasty, and has focused more on sect affairs.
Not only the disciple's practice, but also his own practice has also slowed down a bit.
Cang Jin found an opportunity today, but Cang Shui had to bear this wave of sarcasm.
Cang Shui walked away with a puff of his sleeves, and Cang Mu, who was in the same camp as Cang Shui, also hurriedly followed and left Cangshan Palace.
The two factions in Cangshan are fighting each other: Cangjin and Cangshui. The other two elders rarely engaged in these verbal disputes.
After the rightful master left, many elders in Cangshan Palace also dispersed. It was just a quota for Qingyan Body Refining and had nothing to do with them. Maybe Cang Shui didn't care that much. This quarrel was just about face.
Cang Mu is an old man with white hair and a childlike face. He smiles all day long, just like a long-lived old man.
He and Cang Shui said, "Is this the end of the matter?"
Cang Shui snorted coldly and said, "Let him do it once. Zhao Han loses, and I have no excuse to fight for him. Besides, judging from the current situation, this Li Zhi is also qualified to undergo Qingyan body training."
After saying that, Cang Shui thought about it and said again: "During my retreat, how was the situation in Beiliang Mansion?"
Cang Mu thought for a while, Cang Shui was in retreat for only a few days, and he would continue to retreat when he returned.
"Yesterday, a letter came from Shenyin Pavilion, stating that many sects were attacked at night, and it was the work of night ghosts. About ten days ago, the prince of the Chu Dynasty in Beiliang City was also attacked by night ghosts."
Cang Shui nodded, with a bit of vicissitudes in his eyes. "The night ghost appears in the world, and a great disaster is coming. It is also recorded in the ancient books of Cangshan. Now that the thousand-year period has passed many years, the prophecies in the ancient books will really come true."
"However, the mountain master has been prepared for this matter long ago to ensure that Cangshan is safe." Cangmu said, "Previously, the boy from Kyoto you asked me to pay attention to..."
A hint of cruelty suddenly flashed in Cang Shui's eyes, "Yu Zhi...where is he now?"
"Missing." Cangmu said.
Cang Shui was confused, "Missing? What does this mean?"
Cang Mu continued: "After Yu Zhi and his party left Qinggu, these people lost track. The spies in Shiwan Mountain have not discovered them until now."
Cang Shui looked solemn and ordered: "I thought this kid was here to die. But I didn't expect that he would not take the ordinary route and directly promote his identity. In this way, we will be passive. Even if he is really buried. In the belly of the beast, Dachu will also suspect him on the top of Cangshan Mountain."
Cangmu also knew about what happened at Tianshui Tower that day, and Cangmu started investigating Yu Zhi from then on.
"I have to say that this person has some tricks up his sleeve. The previous officials sent by the Great Chu Supervisory Council investigated secretly, and they were dealt with by us without finding any substantive evidence. But this person made a big fanfare, but let us It’s not easy to handle.”
Cang Shui reminded: "Don't forget, Wei Wuji, who has been reclusive in Qinggu, even went so far as to fall out with Marquis Shao Wu for the sake of this person. This Yu Zhi may not be as simple as it seems."
Hearing this, Cang Mu didn't even nod his head, and a look of solemnity appeared on his face. "I checked Yu Zhi's identity and background, and I only found out that he has an aunt, Li Qingru. She is also on good terms with the Qiu family, but I know nothing about this person's parents."
Cang Shui continued: "In short, proceed with caution. I will also contact the person in Beiliang City to make arrangements early."
Cangmu responded: "Okay."
After the two separated, Cang Shui returned to his residence to continue her retreat.
.......
Cang Jin listened to the report of his disciples with a look of surprise on his face.
"In the past few days, Li Zhi has been going to Cang Huo's residence every day?"
The disciple responded: "That's true. There has never been a break these days. Maybe it's because of Ling Ziyue."
Rumors would spread on Cangshan Mountain every day, and Cang Jin could occasionally hear some, but Cang Jin didn't take the rumors about Li Zhi and Ling Ziyue seriously at all.
Over the years, Cang Jin had known somewhat about Ling Ziyue's temper. Ling Ziyue looked aloof to everyone, even Cang Wanjun.
Can Ling Ziyue fall in love with a little kid who has just started?
No one would believe this.
But the fact is that Li Zhi comes in and out of Cang Huo's residence every day. If it wasn't for Ling Ziyue's relationship, I wouldn't even believe it.
Cang Jin thought like this and suddenly smiled. Seeing his disciple here, he quickly changed his expression to serious. "Go and bring Li Zhi."
The disciples responded and walked out of the attic.
At this time, Yu Zhi, who was leaving the red leaf forest, saw Ling Ziyue dressed in purple outside the red leaf forest.
Ling Ziyue is tall and slender, with her arms folded across her chest. Her chest is already mature, and her cold expression makes her look even colder under the moonlight.
Yu Zhi was stunned, the Ling Ziyue in front of him and the Ling Ziyue holding the money were completely different. Ling Ziyue's private greed for money is much livelier and cuter than this.
When Ling Ziyue saw Yu Zhi, she frowned and shouted, "Li Zhi, come here."
Yu Zhi had no choice but to greet him. Outside the red leaf forest is a place where Cangshan disciples don't want to come more often, so there are only two people, Ling Ziyue and Yu Zhi who have just walked out, waiting here.
Yu Zhi greeted him with a smile and said, "Senior Sister Ziyue."
When Ling Ziyue saw Yu Zhi, she felt extremely angry. In the past few days, the rumors about the two have not decreased, but have increased day by day. Almost all Cangshan disciples thought that Ling Ziyue and Li Zhi were getting along.
As for Yu Zhi going to the red leaf forest every day, it was interpreted as Cang Huo's ruthless stick to beat the mandarin ducks, while Li Zhi's attentiveness every day.
"Tell me, why haven't the rumors between the two of us subsided?" Ling Ziyue has not dared to go out these days, for fear of getting lost in the strange eyes of many junior brothers.
Yu Zhi said innocently: "I don't know either. I always follow the wishes of my senior sister and keep a low profile. I have never publicized this matter. I swear!"
Ling Ziyue said angrily: "Then why do you come to the old man's place every day? Do you know that people think you are begging the old man to agree to our marriage?"
Yu Zhi was startled and suddenly realized: "Sister, what you said makes sense. Elder Canghuo must agree to our marriage."
Do you want to listen to what you are saying? ... Ling Ziyue spat and said angrily: "Bah, who wants to marry you, rumors, misunderstandings... You'd better resolve this matter for me, otherwise, I will make it impossible for you to stay in Cangshan." .”
After saying that, Ling Ziyue turned and left, annoyed and a bit threatening.
Yu Zhi looked at Ling Ziyue's back and smiled slightly. He originally wanted to use Ling Ziyue to get closer to Cang Huo, but now Ling Ziyue is no longer needed. These rumors will disappear after Yu Zhi leaves Cangshan.
As soon as Ling Ziyue left, someone walked towards Yu Zhi. It was Cheng Yun, a disciple of Cangjin Sect.
"Li Zhi, Master asked you to go there." Cheng Yun said.
Yu Zhi looked at Cheng Yun doubtfully and heard Cheng Yun explain: "My name is Cheng Yun, and my master is Elder Cang Jin."
Yu Zhi immediately responded: "Senior Brother Cheng."
Cheng Yun nodded and led the way towards the top of the mountain. Yu Zhi followed closely behind. He had never been to the top of Cangshan Mountain. That day, Jiang Yi took him to Cangshan Mountain, which was only some places where ordinary disciples would go, such as the Sutra Library, the martial arts field, etc. The places on the top of the mountain were mostly where elders and others practiced, so it was useless to go there.
On the way, Yu Zhi suddenly saw a familiar figure from behind.
In just an instant, the silhouette followed another person into a small courtyard. The higher the disciples live in Cangshan Mountain, the higher their status and strength will be.
Yu Zhi asked curiously: "Senior Brother Cheng, who lives here."
Cheng Yun took a look and said with a smile: "Elder Cangshui's disciple, Zhao Hao."
"Zhao Hao?" Yu Zhinian asked.
Cheng Yun explained: "Speaking of which, this Zhao Hao has some connection with you. This person is Zhao Han's younger brother."
Yu Zhi smiled and nodded.
The back figure that Yu Zhi saw just now was Guo Shuer who entered the school with him.
After that day's martial arts performance, Yu Zhi never saw Guo Shuer, thinking that the little girl had given up on her thoughts. Now, at first glance, I found a thicker thigh.
Tonight, Guo Shuer will not leave this courtyard again. And the charming things happening in the courtyard are not rare in the whole Cangshan Mountain.
In response, Yu Zhi just sighed slightly. This is the survival rule of the sect disciples at the bottom. Only by relying on big trees can they enjoy the shade.
Disciples with low talents like Jiang Yi can only rely on others to support themselves and practice hard step by step.
While Yu Zhi was thinking silently, Cheng Yun's voice came to his ears.
"Many things like this happen every year. Finally, some women are willing to take shortcuts and sacrifice themselves. After all, they are not Junior Brother Li Zhi, and they do not have such talents. They can only rely on others. Use your strengths to gain resources for practice."
Her strengths... are naturally a woman's beauty and graceful body.
Yu Zhi was silent for a moment and said: "I understand them. In this world, the weak are the strong and the strong are the weak. It is not easy to survive, let alone practice. However, this path is not the right path after all."
Hearing this, Cheng Yun smiled and glanced at Yu Zhi, as if looking at a little kid who had never seen the world.
"Junior brother, you are not them. When you step into Cangshan Mountain, you have the care of the master, and the opportunity of Qing Yan to refine your body, etc., all of which are things that new disciples may not get in their lifetime. Besides, junior brother and Senior Sister Ling The news spread throughout Cangshan... Could it be that Junior Brother really fell in love with Senior Sister Ling at first sight?"
Cheng Yun didn't believe it, not that Ling Ziyue was ugly. In Shiwandashan, Ling Ziyue's appearance is also in the top ten. But if it's love at first sight, it's probably when you see the blue fire behind Ling Ziyue.
In the past few days, it seems that Cheng Yun has confirmed this fact.
When Yu Zhi heard this, his expression was natural, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that Cheng Yun had misunderstood, but he didn't need to explain, nor would he.
Cheng Yun is a talkative person. Putting this topic aside, he continued: "Junior brother Li Zhi, since it is the master who introduced you, you are his disciple. It is only a matter of time before you become a master and become a disciple. You and I are of the same lineage, senior brother. Let me remind you a few words."
Yu Zhi cupped his fists and saluted, "Senior Brother, please give me some advice."
Cheng Yun nodded. He could vaguely guess Cang Jin's purpose of looking for Yu Zhi tonight. It was also because of his intelligence and knowledge of the beauty of tea that he could gain Cang Jin's trust and serve by Cang Jin's side.
"There are some things you can't do. There are some people you don't need to get close to. You are a member of Master's family and you have Master's protection. Why should you devalue yourself and ask for favor from others?"
Yu Zhi pretended to be confused, and suddenly said: "Senior Brother taught me this lesson. In the future, Junior Brother must be careful in his words and deeds."
Yu Zhi knew that what Cheng Yun was talking about was what happened between him and Ling Ziyue in the past few days, and Cang Huo...
Soon, the two met Cang Jin.
