It took more than half a month to chase after him when he left. He traveled day and night when he came back, and he returned to the sect in five days.
As the name suggests, Dinghu School is located in a lake called "Dinghu".
There are islands and mountains of various sizes in the large lake that stretches for three hundred miles. The largest one is called "Qiao Mountain", which is where the Dinghu Sect is located.
The majestic mountain has seven main halls and several pavilions and courtyards built along the mountain. The halls are named after seven stars, from low to high, with Yaoguang at the end and Tianshu at the head.
If you look down from a high place, you can see the seven halls forming a spoon shape, which is exactly the position of the Big Dipper.
Jiang Li changed boats and landed on the island by the Ding Lake. He went straight to the Yaoguang Hall, which was responsible for the sect's tasks. Then he turned into a small room in the back hall and threw a wooden box on a desk with a clang.
"Junior Brother Jiang!"
The young man behind the desk raised his head in displeasure and looked at Jiang Li.
The young man was wearing a red robe that represented the inner disciples. He had a dignified tattoo and a pair of sword eyebrows raised, creating a fierce look.
"Senior Brother Luo Yi," Jiang Li said the other party's full name in a stiff tone, "The offending disciple Zhou Mingyun resisted arrest and resisted the law. I killed him on the spot. This is his head."
As he spoke, he slapped the snake-tooth dagger on the wooden box again, "And his Dao Fruit."
Zhen Qi was injected into the dagger, and a trace of cruelty and ferocity flashed through. Jiang Li said coldly: "If junior brother hadn't been promoted temporarily, maybe I would be the one who was beheaded now."
Luo Yi's face froze.
Just by sensing the aura, he knew that this was indeed a Dao Fruit, and it was also a demon-type Dao Fruit that was famous for its ferocity.
Yaoguang Palace, or Luo Yi, ignored this matter.
Although the task of hunting down Zhou Mingyun was set by the elder of Yaoguang Palace, the classification of task levels was decided by him, Luo Yi, after investigation.
He failed in his duty.
If this matter breaks out, he will definitely be the one who takes the blame.
"This is because of my brother," Luo Yi immediately changed his expression and said apologetically, "How about this, I will do 500 good deeds for the pursuit mission, and I will compensate my senior brother with an additional 500 good deeds to express my apology. How about that?"
"Not really."
Jiang Li shook his head sternly and uttered three words: "I need to pay more."
When he heard the first sentence, Luo Yi was about to be cold-faced, but when he heard the last three words, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"No problem," Luo Yi immediately took out the disciple jade token and said, "Add a thousand good deeds, and the dagger will also be handled by the junior brother, how about it?"
In other words, this matter should be regarded as a normal pursuit mission, and Zhou Mingyun did not tolerate Dao Guo. At least that's the case in the records of Yaoguang Palace.
A disciple jade plaque was attached at lightning speed. Jiang Li smiled as warmly as the spring breeze and said categorically: "It's a deal."
The causal set also records this scene responsibly.
[Both parties reached a happy consensus and the matter was settled.
But when Jiang Li turned to leave, Luo Yi looked at his figure with an imperceptible cold light flashing in his eyes. 】
'Cold light·······'
Jiang Li turned his back to Luo Yi and kept walking, paying attention in his heart.
In reality, unless one has practiced the Eye Technique, his eyes will never flash coldly and sharply like a flashlight. At least Jiang Li has never seen this happen.
However, in the records of cause and effect sets, due to the relationship between literal description, metaphors will be used appropriately for some objects that are difficult to describe.
According to Jiang Li's many years of experience and keen intuition, the cold light represents malice and even murderous intent.
'Is it because of these fifteen hundred good deeds? Or are you talking about Zhou Mingyun? '
If it is the former, it can only mean that Luo Yi is narrow-minded. Jiang Li has one more enemy, but it's not really a threat.
If it's the latter, then the water is a bit deep.
'Preferably the former, but the latter cannot be ignored. Moreover, Zhou Mingyun doesn't look like he has the qualifications to be designed. In other words, the person to be dealt with may be me? '
A sense of urgency arises.
It’s time to improve your strength.
Jiang Li calmly walked out of the Yaoguang Hall, climbed up the white jade-like stone steps, and came to the sixth hall, Kaiyang.
Kaiyang Hall is the main activity place for outer disciples.
There is Wuquping outside the hall, which is where the disciples practice martial arts. The disciples' dormitories are also in the surrounding area.
Inside the temple, there is a lecture hall where outer sect elders give lectures every seventh day.
In the courtyard behind Kaiyang Hall, there is also the Daofa Pavilion that houses the eighth-level and ninth-level exercises. Jiang Li's destination is here.
He walked into the backyard and saw two old men playing chess in front of the pavilion from a distance. Seeing Jiang Li approaching, one of the old men with white hair and boyish face brushed the chessboard and stood up happily, "Little Jiang is here, no more."
The chess game was disrupted, and the other old man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
Jiang Li approached and said with a smile, "Elder Yun is being a swindler again."
With that said, he walked a few steps closer and bowed, calling "Elder Yun" to the old man with white hair. The other old man with only a few strands of snow-white hair was called "Elder Wan".
Both of them are elders of the outer sect, Elder Wan is responsible for guarding the Daofa Pavilion, and Elder Yun is his chess partner.
When Elder Yun heard this, he said with a proud face: "The chess field is like a battlefield, and military warfare on the battlefield should use all possible means."
"Haha, next time you dare to reach out, I will nail your hand to the chessboard." Elder Wan sneered.
"Let's talk about next time." Elder Yun didn't care.
The two of them were quarreling in front of Jiang Li. It was obvious that they were very familiar with him and did not act like elders.
This is also the result of Jiang Li's hard work over the past two and a half years.
With the Cause and Effect Collection to help him observe words and emotions, and the workplace palace fighting skills he had honed in his previous life, it was quite easy for Jiang Li to get closer to someone.
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you."
Elder Wan snorted coldly and looked at Jiang Li, frowning slightly and twitching his nose, "Did you kill someone again?"
The bloody smell on Jiang Li's body should have dissipated long ago after running around for days, but Elder Wan has a keen sense of smell, and he can smell the almost non-existent smell at the first touch.
"There's no other way," Jiang Li said helplessly, "The sword has no eyes, how can I keep my hand in this life-and-death fight?"
"It's up to you to believe this," Elder Wan said with some dissatisfaction, "Last time you used the Fire and Thunder Talisman to blow up someone's face until they were blurred. If I hadn't vouched for you, you wouldn't have even been able to get the reward. Go back. Recite the Calming Mantra a few times to clear away the anger, and be more careful in the future. If you act like this, you will regret it when you are promoted to Tao Fruition in the future."
The Dinghu sect's Daoguo are not as cruel as the demonic Daoguo, and some even have strict requirements on their state of mind and character. If you are too murderous, you may face many setbacks when you get promoted in the future.
Jiang Li also knew this situation, but his personal principle was that a dead enemy is the best enemy.
In order to prevent accidents such as being counter-attacked or the prisoner escaping halfway, Jiang Li usually beat the enemy to death if he could, and retreated if he couldn't.
He took over seven hunting and extermination missions, gave up once on his own initiative, and eliminated all targets six times without taking any prisoners.
Also thanks to this principle, Jiang Li rarely failed in his missions, accumulated a lot of good deeds, and was able to come to Daofa Pavilion to redeem talismans and exercises as soon as he was promoted.
"Disciple accepts the order."
Jiang Li respectfully agreed to Elder Wan's kind advice and promised to recite the Calming Mantra ten times when he returned.
As for keeping a hand against the enemy? Jiang Li felt that a person should have principles, and he would not change his mind.
Elder Wan's face softened a little, and his tone softened a little, and he said: "I hope so. Tell me, what do you want to change this time?"
"This disciple has been promoted to the ninth level, so he wants to exchange for the ninth level talisman. In addition, he also wants to learn martial arts for self-defense." Jiang Li said immediately.
If it were anyone else, they would have to find the exercises themselves in Daofa Pavilion, and I don't know if they are suitable. From the experience of outside disciples, it is impossible to fully understand the details of the practice just by reading the introduction.
Jiang Li is different, he has connections.
Elder Wan thought for a while and then said: "The third bookshelf in Area C has the most complete illustration of the nine-grade talisman. You can choose the talisman you want to redeem, and then go to the corresponding bookshelf to find the specific slip. As for martial arts, the Taoist's ability is biased To control the true energy, you should practice martial arts that are good at changing. Let me think about it..."
"I know a martial arts that is suitable for you, Xiao Jiang," Elder Yun suddenly interrupted, with an unpredictable smile on his face, "This martial arts is an extremely magical skill. Once you master it, you will be invincible. It’s only half way, so it can be said that it’s half a step invincible. If you are interested, Xiao Jiang, you can go to the last floor of the last bookshelf in Gui District to look for it.”
"The last floor of the last bookshelf in the last area...why don't I know what magic is there?" Elder Wan muttered.
As the guardian elder of Daofa Pavilion, no one else understands the techniques in the pavilion?
After pondering for a while, Elder Wan said to Jiang Li: "There are many books in Daofa Pavilion. Maybe there is a collection of excellent skills. You can go and look for the so-called magic skills according to what the old slicker said. If you can't find them, just go Let’s look for it on the third, fourth, and fifth bookshelves in Area B.”
"Thank you, elder." Jiang Li thanked him and then entered the Daofa Pavilion.
