Chapter 230 Zhenwu plots the mastermind
(It has not been revised yet, please review it after revision!)
Hearing Pharmacist Miao's answer, Yi Xifeng was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became a little unnatural. He knew that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him. Although the Zhenwu Jietian Ruler was temporarily given to him by the sect, Medicine Master Miao only had the right to use it but not to dispose of it.
Let's not talk about whether this Zhenwu Jietian Ruler will accept him. After all, the weapon spirit of this sect's divine weapon is quite intelligent. Yi Xifeng can detect it through the previous things. With his current meager skills, there is a high probability that It is that it will not accept itself. Even if you take a step back and say that you were just unlucky, this "Senior Zhuge" bastard caught sight of Mung Bean and agreed to the matter, in the end the sect would not have arranged it like this.
When the time comes, not only will Yi Xifeng not be able to take advantage, but as long as this true disciple tells the truth and says that he is blackmailing him, then Yi Xifeng can just wipe his crotch with yellow mud - it's either shit or shit!
Yi Xifeng took a deep breath to calm his fluctuating mind. He didn't pay attention to the eyes of the people around him. He could guess that they were hot and envious eyes without looking. If these glances were replaced by sharp swords, he would have been pierced by thousands of arrows.
Zhuge Jietian saw this scene with his eyes. As an experienced weapon spirit, he naturally knew what Medicine Master Miao planned, but he also wanted to see Yi Xifeng's reaction. After all, if you are an outer disciple who cannot withstand the temptation, no matter how outstanding his talent and qualifications are, he is still worthy of his little leaf.
"Senior Brother Miao is joking. The Zhenwu Jietian Ruler is a sacred object of the sect. In fact, you and I, the sect disciples, can give it away at will? Even if it only takes three months, we still need to report it to the sect." But he hasn't said anything yet. After saying that, Pharmacist Miao sneered and said:
"You don't need to worry about this. As long as I promise you, I will definitely report it to the sect and help you mediate." At this point, he showed a smile, as if he remembered something interesting.
"As long as you don't betray the sect in the past three months, there will be no problem."
The smile flashed from Medicine Master Miao's face and fell into the eyes of the female disciples around him, like a startled glance! You know, this senior brother Miao looked calm from beginning to end during this round of assessment. Even if the Jietian Ruler Artifact Spirit suddenly intervened before, it only made him frown slightly.
After all, no matter how powerful the weapon spirit is, it is still just a weapon spirit. Although Medicine Master Miao is not as powerful as this "Senior Zhuge" now, in a few decades, when he truly grows up, the weapon spirit will still be a weapon spirit, and he is very likely to He is one of the future leaders of the sect!
When Yi Xifeng heard this, he immediately realized the trap in this sentence. If he refused again, wouldn't it mean that he was admitting that he had the idea of renewing from the sect? But if he really accepted it, then all those refusals he said before would be like farts.
The Jianghu sect is different from the court in the market. They don't like this kind of false flattery. The influence of many Jianghu sects has already exceeded that of a country or a region. The reason why they are unwilling to interfere with the affairs of the court is that Because I simply don’t like it. After all, compared with the way of heaven, the imperial power and inheritance in the court, no matter how great or powerful it is, is not enough!
Just when Yi Xifeng was at an impasse, two figures came to the mountain stream. They were none other than the other two leaders of the Dao Ascension Conference, Xun Yuanhu and Hei Xuan.
There are three people in charge of this Dao Promotion Conference, and they are all martial arts masters who have reached the level of the Hero Realm. Although Medicine Master Miao’s inner strength level is not yet the level of the Hero Realm, only the peak of the Dacheng Realm! But no one doubts that his level of strength is comparable to that of a hero.
But even so, there is a gap in strength between these three people. Among them, Xun Yuanhu, as one of the four sword-wielding elders, is the undisputed number one. Even if you are as proud as a Miao pharmacist, you must respectfully hold the disciple ceremony in front of this big boss. Although Heixuan is not well-known in the world, he has the lowest reputation among the three. But after all, he is the deacon of the Dark Palace, and his actual authority and status are much higher than that of Medicine Master Miao, the true disciple.
If the sect hadn't given him the Zhenwu Jietian Ruler, and based on his status as a true disciple, this 'Dao Ascension Conference' would have felt like an anticlimax.
"Oh? Pharmacist, what are the results of this round of assessment?" Xun Yuanlong glanced at Jietian Ruler, then looked at the true disciple and asked.
Seeing the person coming, Medicine Master Miao was a little surprised, but he still raised his hands and responded: "Reporting to Elder Yuanhu, these three rounds have ended. As the elder saw, the ten people present are the ones who passed."
The lean old man nodded and then asked: "Well, not bad, not bad. As usual, since these three rounds of assessments are over, I want to ask one more question, have you found any particularly talented disciples?"
Hearing this, Medicine Master Miao frowned slightly. It wasn't that he didn't know the process of the Dao Ascension Conference, it was just because he was so familiar that he had doubts in his heart.
The Zhenwu Dao Hall holds the 'Dao Promotion Conference' for outer disciples to select those disciples with outstanding talents and break the rules of the inner disciples to gain more resources and attention from the sect.
Therefore, there is indeed nothing wrong with Xun Yuanhu's question, and it can be regarded as the practice of all previous 'Shengdao Conferences'. But what surprised Pharmacist Miao was that this question was too early, or rather inappropriate. In the past, after the Ascension Conference, the people in charge of the conference would discuss it privately, then report it to the sect, and finally notify the disciples.
But this time, Xun Yuanhu asked directly, which made Medicine Master Miao notice something unusual, but he quickly replied respectfully: "Reporting to Elder Yuanhu, this round of the disciple's assessment..." At this point, he He paused and then added: "I haven't found any particularly talented outer disciples."
Yi Xifeng was not surprised at all by this answer. Senior Brother Miao was already on the verge of losing his place without removing himself from the quota. If he still had any illusions and asked the other party to nominate him, that would be a fool's errand. Unexpectedly, just now, the Miao pharmacist was setting a trap to trap Yi Xifeng, planning to send Yi Xifeng away or make him suffer a major social death.
When Xun Yuanhu heard this reply, a smile appeared on his lips and he asked lightly: "Oh? Is that so?"
The moment he asked, a voice sounded from everyone's ears.
"Elder Yuanhu, you should ask me about the results of the third round of assessment, right?" The voice was a young man's voice, but he called himself me. It sounded a little funny, but no one present found it funny.
Because the person who said this was none other than Zhuge Jietian, the weapon spirit of the 'Zhenwu Jietian Ruler'.
Medicine Master Miao's face turned a little ugly. He turned to look at the Jie Tian Ruler not far away, which was glowing with purple meaning, and asked slowly: "Senior Zhuge, what does this mean?"
The young man's voice said slowly: "I am the sect's magic weapon. The presence of Elder Yuanhu and Black Butler is enough to calm down the outer disciples' promotion meeting. As for you to preside over this third assessment, It’s what your master requested.”
Having said this, Pharmacist Miao suddenly seemed to understand something. He turned to look at Xun Yuanhu and Hei Xuan. Seeing these people looking at him with expressionless expressions, his heart suddenly sank.
"Yes, this Dao Promotion Conference is not only an assessment for the outer disciples, but also an assessment for you." Zhuge Jietian continued to transmit the message.
"It's a pity that you didn't realize this, and your vision is still a bit short-sighted."
Pharmacist Miao frowned and murmured: "Why would Master ask for this kind of assessment? Zhuge Jietian, don't talk nonsense here!" He obviously had some guesses in his mind, otherwise his mind would not have been so disturbed, or even He directly called out the weapon spirit's name.
Zhuge Jietian naturally didn't care about this, but explained: "Haha, your master is also one of the four sword-wielding elders. Of course, he will not cheat his apprentice for nothing. However, your master came to the door on his own. Come here, clamoring to propose marriage to my family!"
"What? Propose marriage!" Medicine Master Miao was immediately shocked. Although he liked Ye Jingshu, he never expected that his master would come to propose marriage for this purpose.
"So my lord, I asked you to preside over this Dao Ascension Conference to see if you have the sect's sense of fairness!"
Zhuge Jietian's words fell into Medicine Master Miao's soul, like a wake-up call! He was shaken for a moment. The sound transmission of this weapon spirit was not transmitted to him alone. Xun Yuanhu and Hei Xuan who were present also heard it.
And it is not difficult to tell from their expressions that the two of them should have known about this for a long time. It makes sense when you think about it. No matter how important the 'Ascension Conference' of the outer sect disciples is, there should not be so many important figures from the sect attending it. One Xun Yuanhu is more than enough!
It turns out that these two people, on the one hand, are presiding over the conference, and on the other hand, they are probably the witnesses invited by that old fox Zhuge Yuanlong! One of them is one of the four sword-wielding elders, and the other is the deacon of the Dark Palace, so they are of sufficient weight.
Thinking of this, Medicine Master Miao gradually understood the whole story.
…
That day, Ye Jingshu gave the sachet to the round-faced maid named Jin Tuan, and the girl happened to go to the black market that night to sell medicinal materials. There are a lot of good things in that sachet, and for those who are connoisseurs of goods, they will know what they are about just by smelling the smell.
As for the temperament of the round-faced girl, it goes without saying that she used such good medicinal materials as a sachet. This is obviously a cat seller who uses an ancient blue and white porcelain bowl as a food bowl for feeding cats. Whoever doesn't lie to her will regret it!
Unexpectedly, he met Yi Xifeng. With his many years of experience in fried dough sticks, as well as his outstanding spirit and eloquence, he put this 'scent sachet' into his arms in just three strokes.
Later, Ye Jingshu intervened in the matter and had some minor friction with Yi Xifeng. Later, Medicine Master Miao also discovered this. As the other party's suitor, he would naturally not let go of this opportunity.
But think about it now, it seems like someone is controlling all of this behind the scenes. If the coincidences come together one after another, they are no longer coincidences! Why this matter? Why is she Ye Jingshu's maid? And what a coincidence, this person also has to participate in the 'Ascension Conference' that he is responsible for!
Similar to all of this, the answer behind it all points to one person, that is, the wily and scheming Zhuge Yuanlong! As the head of the four sword-wielding elders, Elder Yuanlong's strength is beyond doubt. But the main reason why he ranks third in the sect's reputation is his wisdom!
The Taoist lineage is especially good at this! In the entire Zhenwu Dao Hall, there are not many people who can compete with Zhuge Yuanlong in terms of combat strength, but they definitely exist! Miao Pharmacist's master, as well as the elder Xun Yuanhu in front of him, both have this strength.
However, there are very few people who can surpass Zhuge Yuanlong in the "scheming skills"! I'm afraid only the great elder who often plays chess with Elder Yuan Long has this strength!
Therefore, it can be said without politeness that Zhuge Yuanlong is the "mastermind" of the Zhenwu Dao Palace!
…
Yi Xifeng looked at the people in front of him with some astonishment. He had to say that today had opened his eyes. At the same time, he also realized that he had unknowingly become a chess piece, or a touchstone for the sect.
If he hadn't been very strong, or had outstanding qualifications, he would probably have been buried because of this. Just imagine, if it were another outer disciple who was targeted in this way by a true disciple like Medicine Master Miao, the result could be imagined.
Of course there is no life-threatening danger, but this Dao Ascension Conference is in vain. After careful calculation, if the round-faced girl was just trying to lure him into taking the bait, she would naturally have to pay the price after taking advantage. One peck and one drink, it’s fair!
In this way, Ye Jingshu suddenly came to her to ask for the sachet back that day, and she was probably aware of the clues, but the person behind all this was her master, so she couldn't object openly, so she could only do her best. Less involvement of outsiders. Unexpectedly, I didn't realize this at all at first. I thought the other party was just like the disciples of that family, beating the younger ones, the older ones came out, beat the older ones, and the older ones came back!
Thinking about it now, Yi Xifeng really misunderstood the woman with the silver mask.
Yi Xifeng was the most critical step in the whole incident. Zhuge Jietian did not deliberately block the sound transmission, so he heard all those words just now. But before he could withdraw from his thoughts, the other party said again: "So, I do have objections to the results of the third round of this Ascension Conference."
A flash of purple light flashed from the Sky Ruler, and instantly flowed in front of Yi Xifeng, surrounding him.
"This person's name is Yi Xifeng. He is the outer disciple with the most outstanding performance in this round. Whether it is internal strength or swordsmanship talent, he is far superior to people of his age." The sound transmission of the weapon spirit appeared again and fell on everyone present. In the soul.
Pharmacist Miao didn't react at all, because compared to whether Yi Xifeng was promoted or not, the impact of this test on him was not small. The biggest blow was "rejection of the marriage proposal"! How will he face Ye Jingshu again in the future? No matter how thick-skinned I am, I can't chase after others.
He slowly turned his head and looked at Xun Yuanhu and Hei Xuan standing aside. His heart was full of unwillingness and regret, but Medicine Master Miao knew that all this was his own mistake and he could not blame others. But he still felt a trace of hatred, and the person who was responsible for these negative emotions could not be Xun Yuanhu or the deacon of the dark palace. As for Zhuge Jietian, he was just a weapon spirit.
Finally, his eyes fell on Yi Xifeng!
