Next, Qian Chao and the other five went out as planned.
Looking for spiritual grass, hunting monsters, following the traces discovered by Qian Chao to open the ruins, and of course there is one important thing, which is to find the Green Luan egg for Tang Ping, but after searching several places, nothing was found. , and finally before heading to Ruixuan Town, the five of them quietly came to the Han Pond to meet Shang Jie who was hiding here.
If something happens in the sect or if there is any order from the elders in the sect, Qian Chao and the five of them can naturally mobilize the elite qi refining disciples in the sect by virtue of their status as the leaders of the qi refining disciples. After Wen Liang's incident, most of the sect's refining disciples are now able to mobilize the elite qi refining disciples. The Qi Jing Rui disciples had a subversive change in their attitude towards these five junior brothers and sisters. If these five people gave orders, these people would naturally obey them. But in Qian Chao's view, it was one thing to be able to follow his orders, but it was another thing to be unreliable. At least some confidential matters he did not feel comfortable leaving to those people, so he approached the business agent. .
Qian Chao has discussed with several partners that it will definitely take a while for the five of them to build the foundation. If the five of them are not the top disciples of Qi Refining, then there is no need to think so much, but since they have been put in this position First, if you want things to go smoothly, you must have trustworthy people to do things for you. Qian Chao has candidates, such as Shang Jie, who is his favorite candidate. The key is, why should Shang Jie willingly work for Qian Chao? Woolen cloth?
This is also simple.
Many days have passed since Chu Yuan came back with an injury. Lu Pingchuan said one day that his senior brother Xi Kan has been sent out again by the sect. This time, he may be stationed outside the sect. In the year, Tang Ping also brought back news. It was Tang Bonian's disciple Xu Sheng who told her that Chu Yuan had successfully built the foundation, and it was precisely because of using the "Haiyun Jade Fat Lamp" given by Qian Chao and others. "Because of this, Chu Yuan and Xi Kan were sent out together with Xi Kan after the foundation was established, and no one knew about Chu Yuan in the past.
Since I can help Chu Yuan build his foundation, why can't he help Shang Jie build his foundation?
This is why Shang Jie is dedicated to working for the five Qian Chao people.
In Qian Chao's view, with the mysterious connection between the five of them, it would be easy for him to build his own foundation. He might not even be able to use the "Hai Yun Jade Fat Lamp", and this "Hai Yun Jade Fat Lamp" "Fat Lamp" is extremely precious to ordinary disciples, so he secretly found Shang Jie. After a conversation, Shang Jie agreed to work for Qian Chao, and Qian Chao also swore in front of Shang Jie, Before Shang Jie builds his foundation, he will definitely find a "sea rhyme jade lamp" for him.
Qian Chao did all these things alone. Of course, he later explained it to his four companions. Fortunately, they were very surprised to find a very secret ruins opened by the five people during this outing. According to Tang Ping's wishes, this lamp is not in a hurry to be introduced to Shang now, lest he think that Qian Chao can easily take out this kind of treasure and have other ideas. Qian Chao also has other ideas about this. Agree.
Qian Chao had other ideas. In his opinion, it would be a pity if there were several people in the sect who could not establish the foundation. If such people could establish the foundation, it would not only be helpful to the five of them in the future, but also to the sect. It is of great use. Well, in addition to business agents, for example, Buyan Nang is a good hand in business, but it does not stop him from inquiring and collecting various information in the practice world. There is also Cai Jian, who is also a good observer. Masters who collect all kinds of secret information. These people just don't have any disciples. If they can build a foundation in the future, they will be useful to the sect.
In fact, Qian Chao is thinking further. If he can be stationed with these people after the foundation is established in the future, it will naturally be easier to do things.
Qian Chao discussed this idea with Tang Ping in private, and Tang Ping laughed at him at the time if he wanted to become the second "Senior Brother Wen." You must know that Wen Liang was able to win over many people to work for him because of the jade elixir he refined. It can increase the monk's cultivation, and Qian Chao relies on the "Hai Yun Jade Fat Lamp" to expand his party members. After listening to Tang Ping's words, Qian Chao was silent for a while, and then he realized that this matter could only be done but not made public, and those who had benefited from them could not know each other, lest they really formed a treacherous relationship. power and attracted unnecessary attention from the sect.
From Shangjie, the five of them went to Ruixuan Town. Qian Chao naturally had to stay with Mr. Zhuang for a day. Then when he wanted to see Zuo You at Liu Feng's place, he failed.
"Brother Zuo left in a hurry." Liu Feng said.
Only then did Qian Chao remember that Shangjie had sent someone to tell him the news that someone had left the cold pool. Qian Chao estimated that the person who left was Yan Ding, and Zuo You had a portrait of Yan Ding that he had given him. Zuo You must have come. He was chasing Yan Ding, but I didn't know if he could succeed.
The last five people returned to the sect.
…
Shortly after returning to the sect, Tang Ping sent another message to Qian Chao that people from Motianya and Jiugenyuan were coming.
"I heard that on the way, a group of people from Motianya were intercepted by people sent by Mu Yang Sect, and they set up an ambush on the boundary of our Wuling Sect. The leader of Mu Yang Sect was a guy named Lu. That guy Let the people from Motianya either go back or follow them to Muyang Sect."
"How was it resolved later? Did they attack each other?"
"No, our Wuling Sect escorted Jiu Genyuan's team all the way around. I heard that originally our sect was not willing to intervene in the affairs of Motianya and Muyang Sect. Instead, an elder Bai from Jiu Gen Yuan requested us. Help save those people on Motian Cliff, well, they were already within the boundaries of our Wuling Sect at that time, and there was Jiu Genyuan’s request, so the sect’s pill-forming elders showed up.”
"Do it... or..."
"I didn't take action. Although Mu Yangzong sent a lot of people, our people and the people from Jiugenyuan combined are even more. There are several well-known figures in the cultivation world. As soon as they show up, The Mu Yang Sect monks were all frightened away, and then the people from Jiu Gen Yuan and Mo Tian Ya came together towards our sect."
"I see."
"They'll be here tomorrow."
After hearing this, Qian Chao suddenly felt something in his heart. He thought of something and immediately asked Tang Ping:
"Do you know who are the people coming from Motian Cliff?"
"I don't know. Maybe it wasn't mentioned in the letter sent back earlier, or maybe my sixth grandfather didn't tell me. What's wrong?" Tang Ping asked strangely.
"Do you still remember that Mr. Luo from Motian Cliff appeared when Senior Sister Yan Shuang was attacked for the first time?"
"Ah, I remembered! Hey, his status in Motianya seems to be quite high. Well, maybe he will come together for such an opportunity. It seems that Mr. Luo had an engagement with Senior Sister Yan Shuang before. No wonder That time I traveled thousands of miles to save Senior Sister Yan Shuang."
"Well, if Mr. Luo comes too, it will be lively. At least Ma Hu will be worried."
"ha!"
…
The next day, in the morning, by Tianshui Lake.
It was still the small pier where Lion Forest and Meng Cailou's ship docked that day. Well, speaking of it, there were not many more elders from the Wuling Sect who came to greet them this time than last time. The standard of the reception seemed to be about the same. .
However, these elders who came to greet this time are all extremely important figures in the Wuling Sect. Almost all the elders in the sect's meeting hall are here, and the one standing at the front is Elder Jiang, and even Tang Ping's sixth grandfather, Tang Bonian, was also on the team.
The Wuling Sect disciples who had seen the excitement once saw fewer people come to see the excitement this time. The news spread after the people from Lion Forest and Meng Cailou arrived last time, and most of the disciples knew that these people were not here to talk to them. There are obviously fewer people who are rushing for the opportunity to become a disciple, so there are obviously fewer people who care about this matter, but even so, there is still a dark crowd of people waiting near the small pier.
Qian Chao and the other five people were still watching in the small pavilion, but this time there was one more person, Ma Hu. He came here early, and later accidentally discovered Qian Chao and others and came over. .
Seeing the uneasy look on Ma Hu's face, Tang Ping joked:
"Since when did Senior Brother Ma care so much about the affairs within the sect..."
"Huh, you're asking even though you know it!"
Yanxuan gently pulled Tang Ping's sleeve and said:
"Look, Senior Sister Yan Shuang is here too."
Sure enough, Yan Shuang, who had a peerless appearance and a head of snow-white hair hanging behind her head, appeared on the small pier, and this time Yan Shuang was dressed in the attire of Jiu Genyuan in the North. The snow-white dress was spotless and very clean. Eye-catching.
However, Yan Shuang did not come alone, but followed her master. Mu Xiufeng's chief elder, Lu Suyang, Senior Lu, arrived and greeted the many council elders waiting there one by one.
After Li Shuang saluted the elders, she stood there quietly, looking at the water of Tianshui Lake quietly. Her snow-white back was mixed in the crowd, just like a trace of loneliness in the noise, which was inexplicable. Somewhat distressed.
Yanxuan said softly with emotion:
"Sigh, being so far away from home, Senior Sister Yan Shuang must be homesick."
Several people nodded after hearing this.
Ma Hu said nonchalantly from the side:
"What's the point? It's better for a girl to marry thousands of miles away than to die alone in a boudoir!"
Yanxuan shook his head after hearing this, while Qian Chao and Li Jian couldn't help laughing.
Tang Ping gave Ma Hu a big eye roll and said:
"You just want to eat swan meat, and she's not married yet!"
"coming!"
Finally a large boat appeared on the lake.
As the ship approaches, you can see a figure standing on the bow.
"It's our elder Sun from Mu Xiufeng. It turns out he went there." Li Jian said softly.
When the boat docked, Elder Sun from Mu Xiufeng landed first. Then on the boat, two figures, one white and one purple, seemed to be humbly giving way to each other for a while. Then it was the white figure who left the boat and landed.
This person is none other than an important figure in the Jiu Gen Bai family, the most eloquent elder Bai Lai Bai in the Jiu Gen Plains.
Under the introduction of Elder Sun, the elder Bai Lai first met with the elders of the Wuling Sect's meeting hall one by one with solemn and thoughtful etiquette. Finally, under the introduction of Elder Jiang, he exchanged salutes with Senior Lu Suyang Lu of Mu Xiufeng. In front of Senior Lu, Elder Bai bowed unusually solemnly, showing a lot of gratitude.
Li Shuang had already knelt down and touched the ground with his forehead to greet the elder Bai.
In front of Yan Shuang, Elder Bai felt a lot of emotion, sighed, and then slowly stretched out his hand to lift Yan Shuang up.
Looking from a distance, Yan Shuang's face was shimmering with tears.
The next people to land were the disciples from Jiu Genyuan. There were not many, there were only seven or eight of them. The only one who caught the attention of Qian Chao and others was a girl wearing a snow-white dress like Yan Shuang, with the same national beauty and heavenly fragrance. The difference is that this girl has a head full of black hair. After bowing to many elders of Wuling Sect, the girl actually jumped into Yan Shuang's arms.
"Is that Senior Sister Yan Shuang's sister?" Yanxuan asked.
"No, I heard she is the daughter of Elder Bai." Tang Ping replied.
"It seems that Jiu Genyuan will be tightly tied to our Wuling Sect." Qian Chao said.
"Hehe, it's fine, fine..." Ma Hu said while looking at the pair of white figures on the pier who were holding hands and talking.
Tang Ping glanced sideways at Ma Hu, looked at the greedy smile on the guy's face, and asked angrily:
"What do you want to do?"
"There is a saying called the blessing of all people..."
"Shut up! Don't even think about it!" Tang Ping scolded.
The next people to land were the people from Motian Cliff.
Elder Su Qiuli was the first to get off the boat. He stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the important figures of the Five Spirits Sect on the dock. Especially when he saw Yan Shuang in a white dress in the crowd, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Previously, he had led Motianya's monks to join forces with Muyang Sect to kill her on the way, but failed. Afterwards, with the intervention of Wuling Sect, Muyang Sect stopped and Motianya could not survive alone. This has caused Motianya's current predicament. Although the war has ended, the future of Motianya is indeed bleak, which makes him even more worried.
After stepping onto the pier, someone came to greet him. However, this time it was not Elder Sun who came to introduce everyone to him, but Tang Bonian, who had friendship with him, had already walked to him with a smile on his face, and the two exchanged words for a while. After greetings, Tang Bonian introduced him to the elders of the meeting hall.
Compared to Jiu Genyuan, the other elders in the Assembly Hall behaved slightly less favorably towards Elder Su and his party from Motian Cliff.
Then came the Motianya disciples who came off the boat. Ma Hu kept staring at them closely. He breathed a sigh of relief until the last person got off the boat. Finally, the boy named Luo did not appear on the dock. Qian Chao He looked at Ma Hu and kept smiling without saying a word.
On the pier, Su Qiuli said to Tang Bonian:
"Brother Tang, you know my situation. Time is running out. When I come to your sect this time, I have brought my only grandson with me. Come, come..."
Elder Su had said before that he had no hope of breaking through the Nascent Soul and that he only had a short lifespan. This time he came here with the intention of inviting Tang Bonian to leave him alone. Following his greeting, a young man hurriedly stepped forward. Come and pay homage to Tang Bonian in accordance with Su Qiuli's words.
"If I..." Su Qiuli's face darkened a bit, "Everything can be given up, but I can't worry about this child. Originally, there were several confidants in Motian Cliff, but unfortunately they all died in the battle with Jiu Genyuan. , Now that I’ve thought about it, I think only Brother Tang can be entrusted to me in this world, so please don’t shirk me.”
Tang Bonian said solemnly:
"Don't worry, Brother Su, since you have said that, then this child will be all on me. Well, he will stay at my place first and wait for me to take care of him for a while. I will either choose a good teacher for him or I will take him in personally." , in short, there is a place for this child in the future of spiritual practice!"
Hearing this, Su Qiuli felt as if a heavy stone had fallen from his heart, and he quickly saluted Tang Bonian gratefully.
"Brother Su, you don't have to be like this. This is how we should be friends in life and death. Hey, wait a minute, that girl has gone somewhere..."
As he spoke, Tang Bonian turned around and looked around. Sure enough, he saw Tang Ping in the small pavilion opposite. Then he waved to Tang Ping to come over.
Qian Chao watched Tang Ping obediently walk to Tang Bonian's side, and then, under Tang Bonian's recommendation, respectfully paid homage to the old man in purple robes. After seeing this, Qian Chao's eyes changed. Floated to the side, there, in an inconspicuous place, there were people quietly watching what happened on the pier. Those people were the people who arrived at the Lion Grove and Meng Cai Tower of Wuling Sect a few days ago, not What Qian Chao found strange was that there were only six people there, the same six people who caught their attention at that time. At this time, all of them were watching quietly with expressionless faces.
After some time, there will probably be some disturbances within the sect!
For some reason Qian Chao suddenly had this idea.
