Luo Jiao had just suppressed the manic feeling in her blood, and then sat cross-legged and adjusted her breath for a few moments. Except for the area where the scabbard had struck her, there was still some obstruction, and the rest of the injuries were no longer serious.
After she walked out of the inner hall and bowed to Taoist Fu Xiang on the main seat, she stood up and saw the expression on his face, but she was even more worried, and her heart sank. Before she could speak, Taoist Fu Xiang said: "I have discussed with the elders of Qizang and Chongxiao to let you go to Chongxiao Gate to practice for a period of time."
"Master?!" Luo Jiao's pupils trembled slightly and she asked in surprise. She turned sideways and looked at Zhao Shun and others in the guest seats. She saw that the other party had a gentle expression and showed no objection. It can be seen that the matter has been discussed in advance as Taoist Fu Xiang said. completely.
"But will the Heguang Sect come back to make things difficult?" She felt like she had made a mistake as soon as she asked. It was almost inevitable that the Heguang Sect would make things difficult for them. After this battle, it was inevitable that the Fuxiang Sect would cut ties with them. And if the deed party takes the initiative and Taoist Fu Xiang fights back, it will not be considered disobedience. Even so, if the head still wants to send her to Chongxiao, it can only be like the old incident of the sect and related to the two factions of Suyang Shangchen. .
The leader... actually thinks that the Chongxiao Sect can compete with the entire Lakeside Sect with one sect?
"In order to leave a way out, Heguang Sect will not rashly attack me and destroy the deed, but with the three Fenxuan coming, I will definitely protect you." Taoist Fu Xiang sighed, and his long beard trembled, "Now it's not just you. , even little friend Zhao Chun has been noticed by them, if Chongxiao Sect can save one, it can protect two people, this is a last resort."
During the discussion, he told Zhao Shun that the matter might involve Suyang and Shangchen factions, but the other faction was calm and determined, not afraid of the reputation of the Lakeside Sect. Even if he was noticed by them, he did not show any fear at all.
Therefore, Taoist Fu Xiang would ask Chongxiao Sect to protect Luo Jiao.
He originally thought that Zhao Chun would refuse such a thankless job, but she readily agreed without patting her chest as a guarantee that Luo Jiao would be fine.
"The matter of Fellow Daoist Luo can be said to be that Heguangmen was angry with Fu Xiang for hiding talents and wanted to capture the lost pearl. However, now even the juniors are involved. Zhongxiao and Heguang have nothing to do with each other. Please tell me, seniors. Let’s be clearer, what is it about the two of us that actually caused the Hupan clan to take advantage of others’ power and arrest them, regardless of their own dignity?”
Zhao Chun raised his eyes and asked, which made Taoist Fu Xiang pause, and what he was talking about was another old incident.
When he became a disciple of the previous headmaster, there was a senior brother named Feng Ming in front of him, who was not inferior to him in terms of talent.
However, this is only the result of the comparison between the two of them. If he really wanted to compare with the geniuses in the Great Lakes, he would not be considered a hero. Speaking of which, Feng Ming is somewhat similar to Luo Jiao. He also suddenly experienced strange changes one day, and since then he has made rapid progress, far behind the number one person in the Great Lakes at that time. Luo Jiao still had more than ten years of hard work to achieve her current skill, but Feng Ming was even more powerful. In just one year, she was already above all Ning Yuan and arrogant to everyone.
Upon seeing this, the Heguang Sect wanted to recruit him into the sect. Although it was a bit deceptive, in the normal relationship between the Sect and the affiliated sects, this move was not new. Therefore, the previous head of Fuxiang still sent him to the Shang Sect while his heart was bleeding.
Not even a month had passed since he didn't want to send it away, but news came from the Heguang Sect that something unexpected happened while Fengming was practicing the exercises. His Dantian was severely damaged and he died on the spot.
After all, he was a genius with a great reputation. He died in such a bizarre and sudden death, but the Fu Xiang Sect could not even recover his body. It was not until the previous leader passed away that he called Taoist Fu Xiang to his side. He kept doubting that it was Feng Ming who had merged with him. Even before his death, the knot that held him together with his disciple's spirit never broke.
"My master took the knotted rope to question the head of the Shangzong, but they threatened the life and death of the Fuxiang Sect and made me swear an oath of inner demons for my master, so they remained silent... He is also a dying person now, and his inner demons are not demons. Yes, what's there to be afraid of?" The master grabbed his collar tightly, his old age was fully revealed, "You must keep Feng Ming's matter in mind. If there is another disciple with such qualifications in the sect, we must not let him show up. …”
After Taoist Fu Xiang took over as the head of the sect, he used this identity to have dealings with Fenxuanduo of the Waguang Sect. After years of investigation, he found out that not only Waguang was involved in this matter, but that the master was probably the most powerful Shangchen Sect in the Great Lakes. Many Suyang sects also participated.
"In the affiliated sects of the Lakeside Sect, all those with extraordinary talents will be handed over to the Supreme Religion for upbringing. For more than a hundred years, I have paid careful attention and found that those who died young among them were all the most talented among their peers. When they 'died', their cultivation level was still low. If they didn't pay careful attention, they would not attract anyone's attention!" Taoist Fu Xiang was filled with anger and his tone was also excited.
After Zhao Shun heard this, he thought to himself, if Feng Ming and Luo Jiao had shown their talents while practicing Qi, they would have entered the Shangzong long ago, and then their inexplicable death would not be as harmful to others as Ning Yuan's death. Alarmed.
"Elder Zhao, are you still thinking about what the leader just said?"
Suddenly interrupted by Luo Jiao, Zhao Shun came back to his senses from his thoughts. Now he had passed the Jingpine Forest and could see the not-so-high back mountain of Chongxiao Gate. He separated from the Qizang Sect and the two of them were about to arrive. destination.
"Well," she said softly without covering up, "it would be a great blessing for the Heguang Sect and other sects for a genius disciple to enter the Shangzong practice. Even if he is born in a subordinate sect, it will help him in the future after he attains enlightenment. It is also something that we all know about the strength of our sect, how could the great sect not know about it, so the speculation of killing the genius in order to curb the influence of the affiliated sect is unreasonable."
"Indeed." Luo Jiao lowered her eyebrows and nodded in agreement.
Zhao Shun looked at her, and his mind gradually drifted to the screen in the outer hall. What suddenly came to his mind was a conjecture that Taoist Fu Xiang had never thought of, but it was very possible.
"There is a screen in the hall where Senior Fu Xiang entertains guests. He said that the painting on it was written by Taoist friend himself. I wonder why you made this painting?"
The topic became too fast and too far away, causing Luo Jiao to look dazed, and replied without thinking: "When I was alone in meditation, I was bored and drew. The content was copied from a painting in the crypt. That painting It's so old that I can't tell if it's something left by that generation of masters." The second half of the answer didn't fit the question, and she didn't know why but said it all.
"How much do you know about Shinto monks?"
Luo Jiao could only answer one or two questions just now, but Luo Jiao really didn't know this question: "I don't know much about it...it's strange to say that there are very few records about them in the sect."
Zhao Chun sighed heavily, and the conjecture in his mind had already taken shape. Unlike in the mortal world, where it is necessary to gather the power of everyone to achieve something, a monk can have a chance to change his situation as long as he has someone who can suppress his peers. If Duan Daoren was the number one person in Hengyun World back then, he would be able to make Lingzhen no one dare to offend, and he would be the best in the entire Southern Territory.
Although the evil monks were in the ascendant, they would not completely relax their vigilance towards the right path. She thought that the real genius in the Great Lake might have been taken out of the Great Lake and became the enemy's help!
If this idea is true, the Lakeside Sect may have colluded with the outside world long ago...
