Chapter 99 Turning Point (Part 1)
"You?" Yu Qingmei asked hurriedly, "How can that be done? Our Shushan sect is a famous and authentic sect after all. When testing elixirs, we only test them on wild animals. How can we do it on humans?"
"But there is a difference between humans and animals after all." Kong Zhang said.
"Yes, he did it voluntarily." Cheng Lv'e also said, "No one will die."
"What do you know!" Chu Qingmei glared fiercely at her junior sister who knew nothing about the world.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Kong, for your kindness, but Qingmei doesn't dare to agree to anything on behalf of Senior Sister Zhiqing."
After Zu Qingmei finished speaking, she pulled Cheng Lv'e, who looked unwilling, and walked away forcefully.
Kong Zhang couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed. This act of testing the elixir might be dangerous to others, but for Demon Qi, it was a piece of cake.
Originally, he was trying to make friends with the two of them, and the demonic qualities could also be used to absorb some new qualities.
He didn't expect Yu Qingmei to be so cautious, but she didn't give him the slightest chance.
After walking a few steps, Cheng Lv'e quietly turned around and winked at Kong Zhang. Kong Zhang was already disappointed, but upon seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
The two women walked dozens of feet before they started talking. Cheng Lv'e said aggrievedly: "Senior sister, why don't you let him try the elixir?"
"You are so unruly. This elixir has never been tried on people, and the elixir recipe has not even been determined. You have never made an elixir, so you don't know how powerful it is. Sweet seeds and pure motherwort, in the right amount, can detoxify, but
If the proportion is out of balance, it will turn into poison." Zu Qingmei said angrily.
Cheng Lu'e pouted and said: "So what? Don't you have confidence in Senior Sister Zhiqing? The elixir refined by Senior Sister Zhiqing will definitely be fine. It's just a verification. It's rare for someone to voluntarily try the elixir."
"That can't be him."
"Why?" Cheng Lv'e asked curiously.
"This person is Yu Hongxiu's future Taoist companion, and he was previously suspected of killing one of Master Bai Qianqiu's disciples. Although it has not been confirmed, Master has warned him not to get too close to him." Chu Qingmei said with a solemn expression.
"Really? But he looks kind-hearted, but that's not the case. Moreover, Master Bai Qianqiu's disciples are very powerful. Except for his unworthy son, who is the worst, each of his disciples is more powerful than the other. He kills
Who do you want to talk to?" Cheng Lv'e asked, pestering Yu Qingmei.
Chu Qingmei couldn't be bothered and said: "It was not confirmed at the elders' hearing that he was the murderer. Otherwise, it would be his turn to stay in the alchemy hall and kill his fellow disciples. Even if he does not die, at least he will be deprived of all his cultivation and then imprisoned."
"As for who he suspected he had killed, I heard that Uncle Bai Qianqiu accused him of killing Ding Lun and Yan Yan. Ding Lun was just fine, his cultivation level was not as good as mine. Although Kong Zhang's cultivation level was also limited, if there was a sudden attack,
It's not necessarily impossible to succeed, and I heard that he got a few magic weapons in a cave with others last time.
.But Yan Yan is different. Although Uncle Bai's disciples are not the most powerful, they have already achieved the golden elixir. I heard that they will soon survive the tribulation of the real person. Moreover, they have already cultivated Sword Heart Tongxuan, and their cultivation level is so high that even if they are
Even the monks who have survived the tribulation of real people will fall into his hands. How can such a person be plotted by him?"
"Isn't that more powerful than you, senior sister?" Cheng Lv'e tilted his head and said.
Xu Qingmei rolled her eyes and accepted it.
Cheng Lv'e clapped his hands fiercely, "That's alright, since that's the case, it must not be him. When he first entered the academy, he didn't even have a flying sword when he participated in the competition among the inner disciples."
"Even if it's not him, we can't go to him for the elixir test. It's not good to owe him this favor. He has already offended Master Bai, and we can't get involved, lest it hurt Chi Yu in the future."
"Senior sister, you are so timid. Anyway, Uncle Bai and our master have always been at odds with each other. Each of his disciples is more annoying than the last. Either they always have eyes that reach the top of their heads, or they like to scheme against others."
"In short, you can't go to him about testing elixirs."
The two of them drifted further and further away, and finally walked out of the Alchemy Hall Corridor and climbed onto the Cloud Sea Fucha.
Kong Zhang withdrew his consciousness and couldn't help but be stunned.
The two women were also cautious and walked a few dozen feet before they started talking.
However, Kong Zhang's current physique, ears and eyes were much better than those of ordinary monks, and he used his spiritual consciousness to locate the two women without anyone noticing, so even though he was far away, he still listened to most of them.
It seems that the current attitude of these two women represents the current attitude of other people in the Shushan Sect towards themselves, and they stand by and watch.
She tends to think that she has nothing to do with Ding Lun and Yan Yan's death, but she doesn't want to offend Bai Qianqiu.
Although they were forced to kill Ding Lun and Yan Yan, and they were protected by Yu Hongxiu, they were safe and sound.
Being punished to serve in this alchemy hall was not a big punishment, and for Kong Zhang, it was a good opportunity to temper his demonic essence and find further directions for evolution.
But although the tangible punishment is slight, the intangible impact is always there.
It was accused of killing his fellow sect members as a serious crime. Although it was not proven, Bai Qianqiu personally came out to accuse him, which would make others doubt him.
The reason why I didn't gain the trust of the two women just now and was blocked by Chu Qingmei was because of this.
Although Zhuang Xuanji spoke for him, she may not really want to help him. She just wanted to use him to attack Bai Qianqiu. She was happy to see him fail, otherwise she would not tell her disciples not to befriend her casually.
Even so, he did not gain the trust of the two women, but it was not a bad thing to eavesdrop on their conversation just now and understand his current situation.
When others reach this point, they may become discouraged and even leave Shushan.
But Kong Zhang couldn't leave at this time. Although he was protected by Yu Hongxiu, if he escaped from Shushan, there was no guarantee that the woman would regret it and start killing her fellow disciples again.
With Kong Zhang's current meager abilities, if he is convicted by the Taoist sect, the world is so vast that he will probably have no place to stay unless he is willing to join the Magician's Palace and hide there never to be born again.
The problem is, Elder Ape was also killed by himself.
However, he is not discouraged at all. He grew up in an environment like the Jinfeng Yulu Tower when he was young. His tenacity is different from ordinary people, and it is not only reflected in his pursuit of cultivation.
Even in the harsh environment in front of him, he immediately came up with countermeasures based on experience.
The only way is not to take the initiative to explain anything. For example, just now, Chu Qingmei and Cheng Lu'e had different attitudes towards him. Cheng Lu'e seemed to be a little sympathetic to him, while Chu Qingmei was neutral.
We can only cope with the ever-changing situation by staying the same, staying in the alchemy hall, serving our people honestly, and showing how to treat others with sincerity.
It is said that the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the time passes by to see the human heart, this is probably the case.
Most people always believe that as time goes by, they can see a person's sincerity.
If a person can pretend for a while, he cannot pretend for a lifetime.
But who is your Uncle Kong?
After being deceived by Brother Teapot when he was a child, Kong Zhang became very familiar with how to deceive people.
When telling lies, you must have nine truths and one lie. You can only lie in the most critical parts. The more details in other truthful parts, the easier it is to win people's trust.
If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself, so that lies can be the same as the truth.
Kong Zhang had long mastered these principles of deception.
I remember that at the Jinfeng Yulu Tower, Kong Zhang stole Xi Niang's jewelry and sold it, and then he called the thief to help Xi Niang find the thief for a long time, and was rewarded by Xi Niang with food and wine.
If the jewelry hadn't been recognized by the teapot brother who accompanied the geisha in the building to go shopping and buy gouache, Xiniang would have been kept in the dark.
Of course, after the incident was revealed, Kong Zhang suffered a huge loss. He used the money from selling the jewelry to gamble. He paid all the money he won from gambling to Xi Niang. Only then did the old lady's anger go away and no more troubles were pursued against Kong Zhang and Kong You.
