"Senior Brother Feng's affairs will be left to the Feng family to arrange themselves. We can go to Heyang Mountain to express our condolences when he is buried." Dongmen Tu gave the suggestion directly, paused, and his expression suddenly became solemn. He said in a deep voice again,
"Junior brothers are not short-sighted, and you should understand the situation that our sect is about to face. I will not ask or interfere in other aspects, but one thing is that I hope that everyone can restrain their respective families, what can be done, and what should be done. You must think carefully about what you cannot do, and you must not cross the bottom line at any time, otherwise, if you cause any trouble, don't blame me for not showing friendship."
"Senior Brother Dongmen, don't worry, we are not old fools yet, we can still distinguish our priorities clearly."
"Senior Brother An is right. Besides, we are all Nascent Soul Stage monks. The Great Dao is the foundation. We don't pay much attention to other aspects. Naturally, we won't let the juniors below mess around."
"..."
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, which made Dongmen Tu nod with satisfaction. Without saying anything more, he immediately waved his hands to indicate that everyone could leave temporarily.
After most of the people had dispersed, he suddenly spoke and left Mo Juren behind.
Seeing this, the three Chiling Patriarchs also paused and looked over in unison.
"You two junior brothers and Junior Sister Gu don't have to worry. The reason why I kept Junior Brother Mo is because I want to explain some private matters." Seeing the reactions of the three Yuanying elders from the Spirit Beast Mountain line, Dongmen Tu couldn't help but twitch in his heart. , knowing that you value this boy, there is no need to be so sensitive, right? Can I still hurt him?
"What are your orders, sir?" Mo Juren's eyes flickered, especially when he saw Gu Shuangpu not far away who had not left either, he couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in his heart.
"It's not what you think." Dongmen Tu shook his head slightly and looked at Gu Shuangpu, who took the initiative to take over the topic and said,
"Actually, it was my intention to let Junior Brother Mo stay. The two Junior Brothers and Junior Sister Gu are not outsiders, so it doesn't hurt to listen. I wonder if you all still remember what happened when Junior Brother Mo was ambushed by the Mulan people?"
"Elder Gu didn't mention it, Han almost forgot that there was such a thing. I remember that you were personally responsible for the investigation at the beginning, but twenty years later, there is still no clue." Han Zhuo was the first to speak, but his expression was His face was expressionless, with no hint of happiness at all. Seeing this, Patriarch Chi Ling and Gu Ying looked at each other immediately, but didn't say anything more.
"Speaking of it, Gu is indeed incompetent. It took him so long to find out the real culprit." Although the other party looked calm, Gu Shuangpu still heard the displeasure in the other party's words, and said a little guiltily, But the conversation immediately changed,
"Fortunately, God has eyes, and things have finally turned around. Not long ago, I finally found conclusive evidence, and I was able to basically deduce some information about the person who took action."
"There is such a thing, please let Elder Gu tell you the details." Mo Juren sneered in his heart. This has been delayed for too long, and he has to make an expression, right? A trace of urgency immediately appeared on his face.
"This is what happened..." Gu Shuangpu began to tell without hesitation.
I have to admit that the other party is still somewhat talented in telling stories, and his vivid narration makes it impossible to find any flaws.
Having said so much, it is actually very simple to sum up. By chance, I caught a spy planted by the Mulan people in Tiannan, and after searching his soul, I learned the whole story of the ambush incident.
"That's it!" Mo Juren suddenly showed a look of surprise, and then said with a sneer,
"So, it was someone from the Hehuan Sect who revealed the news to the Mulan people?"
"That's right." Gu Shuangpu nodded, and a brilliance flashed in his hand, revealing a jade slip, and he handed it to the front again,
"This is the detailed information about this matter in that person's memory. I have recorded it all in it. Junior Brother Mo can check it out when he has time."
"Where is the spy?" Han Zhuo suddenly asked.
"Already dead." As if he had expected to be asked this question, Gu Shuangpu did not panic at all, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face at the right time.
"That man was a dead soldier. He blew himself up and died when he realized he was exposed. Fortunately, I took action in time. I was lucky enough to get a part of the other party's remnant soul and collect this information."
"That's really not easy!" Mo Juren replied with a pun. He did not check the jade slip immediately, but directly put it away and said again,
"I have troubled Elder Gu for so many years for this trivial matter of mine. I will remember this affection. If you have any instructions in the future, just ask. As long as it is within your ability, Mo will not refuse."
There should be some kind of expression, after all, on the surface, it is indeed "more than twenty years of hard work and hard work" to find the "truth". When we just told the story, the other party also emphasized this point emphatically.
He accepted this love, and he will definitely "repay" it solemnly in the future.
"Junior brother Mo doesn't need to keep these little things in mind." Gu Shuangpu chuckled and said,
"Junior brother, you are already an elder. You don't need to be so young. Just call me senior brother."
"This... Okay, then thank you, Senior Brother Gu." The other party wanted to act, so Mo Juren simply followed the other party's wishes, thanked him and said goodbye again.
This time Dongmen Tu didn't stop him anymore, he just told the Hehuan Sect that it was not a trivial matter and not to 'revenge' easily for the time being, lest it kill the snake and backfire on him.
Mo Juren naturally nodded in agreement, without further delay, and then left through the air with Han Zhuo and others.
"We haven't seen each other for twenty years, and Junior Brother Mo has actually reached the peak of pill formation. The speed of improvement is simply unbelievable. I guess he is not far away from the Nascent Soul stage." Looking at the disappearing figures of several people, Gu Shuangpu suddenly showed a look of envy. . After a pause, he continued,
"If I remember correctly, he is only in his early 200s now, right? He is about to enter the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age, and his future potential is really unimaginable. I am afraid that no one in our Yuling Sect can compare to it..."
"Junior Brother Mo is extremely talented, which is also a good thing for our Yuling Sect." Dongmen Tu's heart moved and he said with a smile.
"What senior brother said is true. As the so-called new generation replaces the old, when junior brother Demo grows up, he will be able to take on more important responsibilities, and then senior brother will be able to relax a little more."
"I'm afraid that Junior Brother Mo is used to being idle, so he doesn't want to!" Dongmen Tu nodded again, but his eyes flickered slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing this, Gu Shuangpu's narrow eyes also flashed with a strange light, which passed quickly, and he said nothing more after that.
…
Qingyan Peak, a giant peak over a thousand feet high, is located in the southwest area of Qiling Mountains.
This is where Mo Juren's new cave is located. It has been opened for many years. It was not until Yan Wanxi formed the elixir a few years ago that she and Han Yunzhi moved in together.
Compared to the original cave, not only does the concentration of spiritual energy here be higher, but the scale of the entire cave is also larger. Especially the layout, layout, etc. inside took a lot of thought from Mo Juren.
The only bad thing is that none of the female relatives in the family can show up, and there are only two of them, Han Yunzhi, which is a bit deserted.
Today is an exception. Ancestor Chi Ling, Han Zhuo, and Gu Ying came together as guests at the invitation of Mo Juren. Suddenly, the originally deserted cave suddenly became lively.
"Speaking of which, it's your fault. Since the cave has been opened, why don't you invite us to come and sit here? Anyway, we are not far away?" Han Zhuo, who passed through the defensive formation and entered the cave, suddenly smiled and scolded.
"It was my negligence, and of course I was worried about disturbing everyone's Qing Dynasty." Mo Juren did not refute, and quickly admitted his mistake sincerely. Hearing this, Patriarch Chiling also laughed and cursed,
"You are good at making excuses and just sending a message. Why bother?"
While chatting and laughing, the four of them entered the hall and saw an extremely vast space. The ground was paved with sapphire, and there were fountains, flower beds, pavilions and other facilities.
Every part is extremely perfect, and the materials used are of great value. The three people inside it all secretly said, this guy is worthy of being the owner of Tianhua Building, it is really luxurious.
What shocked the three people even more was that the formation hidden in the cave actually completely shielded the powerful consciousness of the three people in the hall, and the deeper areas could not sense it at all.
"Your formation is not simple!" Ancestor Chi Ling suddenly thought of his precious disciple.
"Your guess is correct. The formation here was indeed created by Miss Xin." Mo Juren understood what the other party meant and did not hide it, and immediately replied with a smile.
"It's really useless to hurt this girl. As a master, I also have a cave, but I don't think she cares about her too much." Ancestor Chi Ling complained with some disgust.
"You can't blame her. It's just a set of formations. If you always take the initiative to speak, how can she refuse? It's okay to even carefully arrange the inside and outside of the cave." Mo Juren took the initiative to help. Xin Ruyin excused herself.
"Forget it, I won't be able to live like that." Ancestor Chi Ling shook his head directly. With his status, what kind of luxurious cave would he want? I just don't like it.
If not for this, when he was in Spirit Beast Mountain in the past, as the only supreme elder of the sect, he would not have made his cave so crude, no different from a wild cave in the mountains.
This is purely personal preference and has nothing to do with other reasons.
While they were talking, the four of them had already walked to a pavilion and sat down.
As for Han Yunzhi, who had returned one step ahead just now, he slowly walked out again with two maids, each holding a tray and walking gracefully forward.
"There is nothing to entertain in a hurry. It happens that there are some spiritual tea and spiritual fruits in the cave. I hope that my ancestors, my uncle, and my uncle will not be scornful."
"You girl, we are all not outsiders, what are we talking about?" Han Zhuo immediately 'reprimanded', but there was an undisguised smile in his eyes.
When he looked at the two maids inadvertently, he was suddenly startled. The two people on the side were also aware of it. However, the three of them were just confused and did not ask too much.
"Girl Yunzhi is getting better and better. Having such a descendant is not only a blessing to you, Junior Brother Han, but also a blessing to the entire Han family!" Patriarch Chi Ling took a sip of tea and praised directly with a smile.
"The descendants of the He family are not bad at all, so why should we belittle ourselves, senior brother?" Han Zhuo laughed, feeling extremely happy in his heart.
"I would say the luckiest one is Junior Brother Mo. Having such a close confidante is a real blessing." A voice as sweet as a silver bell sounded. It was Gu Ying. She was still called sister and brother. She did not break through first. It changes during the Nascent Soul stage.
"Senior sister's words are true. Being able to have Yunzhi by his side in this life is indeed a blessing that Mo has cultivated over several lifetimes." Mo Juren did not refute, but agreed with a smile.
After hearing a few people's words and my naked praise, Han Yunzhi, who was originally introverted and easily shy, became more and more embarrassed, and his cheeks turned red.
Standing there at a loss, he suddenly felt his jade hand being held by Mo Juren. Then he felt relieved and then slowly sat down next to him.
It is really rare for several people to get together this time. In addition, they are all from the Spirit Beast Mountain lineage. There are too many topics to talk about, including the current situation, the development of their respective families, and the direction of the outside world of the sect, etc. .
Especially with the death of Patriarch Xuanyuan and the advent of the Dongmentu era, it is difficult to judge whether it will be good or bad for the sect. It is also difficult to say what impact it will have on the forces of the Spirit Beast Mountain lineage. .
These few people are the core of the Spirit Beast Mountain family. Any decision they make is related to the fundamental interests of dozens of large, medium and small families and countless people behind them. There is no room for any mistakes, and everything must be considered carefully.
Fortunately, our current strength is not weak. Counting Mo Juren, there are four people at the Nascent Soul stage, and the number of monks at the Core Formation stage has been increasing over the past hundred years.
Such a huge force, even twisted into a rope because of Mo Juren, is rare in the Yuling Sect. Others have to think carefully if they want to provoke and scheme.
In the coming days, the sect will inevitably experience some turmoil, mainly due to competition for interests.
When Patriarch Xuanyuan was still alive, the Feng family's Dual Yuanying sect was inevitably strong, and its interests were even greater.
But now only Feng Ziling is left. Although he is a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul, he loves business, has wasted a lot in practice, and his combat effectiveness is even weaker.
Under such a premise, it is inevitable to take the initiative to give up some of the interests, especially the Feng family's share in the Wanling Merchant Alliance, which is a terrifying figure.
This is also the reason why Patriarch Xuanyuan specifically told Feng Ziling to keep a low profile when he was dying. In fact, he had already seen through everything, retreated bravely from the rapids, and only acted wisely to protect himself.
Similarly, the many small and medium-sized families that were originally attached to the Feng family are no exception. Although the trees will not fall apart and the hozens will be scattered, they will inevitably be cut off.
No one would be tempted by such a big piece of fat. After all, except for a few solitary elders, the remaining Nascent Soul monks have families behind them. There are countless clansmen in the clan, and they all have to open their mouths to eat. No matter how much you get, it's pure profit.
The He family, Han family and Gu family are no exception. Although each has a lot of property, it does not mean that there is no shortage of resources.
Only Mo Juren in the field has enough confidence, and he can even be described as extremely rich.
Although the other major families have made a lot of profits through Tianhua Tower, coupled with the income from their respective families' industries, they are still unable to meet the increasingly huge needs.
