Chapter 34: Showing sincerity to the alliance, killing two birds with one stone
When Shen Tuhong heard Gui Wujiu's question, he was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he walked slowly on the top of the mountain.
The question of blamelessness is of great importance. Although Shen Tuhong believed that an alliance between the two parties was very likely to be realized, it was still inappropriate to tell him frankly at this time.
But if you don't say it, then you will be blameless and tell the small world the secret, which also shows your sincerity. If there is no reciprocal exchange, it will be rude.
After thinking about it for a while, Shen Tu Hong said: "Hong can only tell fellow Daoist Wen for the time being that the Chimei clan has reasons to fight with the ancestral family of the Holy Cult. This dispute is related to the foundation of our clan, and there is absolutely no room for concession."
.”
"Since fellow literary friends are involved in the alliance between the Yao clan, they must have heard about the Yao clan's 'dispute over final product'. If you don't see the key here, the theory of mutual alliance and good alliance will not be realized. In comparison, and
The dispute over the ancestral family of the Holy Religion must take precedence over the final product. I don’t know the answer, but friends of literature and Taoism may be satisfied.”
"When the time comes for the two parties to form an alliance, the two parties will be able to be open and honest about the specific details."
To be able to achieve this level of harvest, Gui Wujiu has gained a third of the confidence, and is already very satisfied.
He immediately smiled and said: "Wen has no doubt about Taoist friend Shentu's sincerity; there are just two things left."
"We have to ask Taoist fellow Shentu to keep Wen's identity secret for the time being. After finding out his intention now, Wen will go along with him and meet for negotiation at the meeting in March. By then... everything will naturally come to light."
"In addition, due to the opening of the realm gate, Fellow Taoist Shentu can move the noble formation a hundred miles to the southeast; once it is completed, Wen will ask Fellow Taoist Shentu to accompany him."
Although the place where the small world opens is relatively close to the Red Mei Clan camp, it is still slightly offset. If there are no protective measures, if a strange phenomenon appears, the cultivators stationed in front of the Holy Cult may be able to observe some clues.
Shen Tuhong saw that Gui Wujiu had just promised to implement it without any hesitation. He nodded secretly in his heart, and his evaluation of Gui Wujiu was even higher.
After the two separated, Gui Wujiu returned to Gongyezhou.
Gong Yezhou only talked and laughed with Gui Wujiu, but did not ask about the content of Shen Tuhong's conversation with him.
Based on Gong Yezhou's style of doing things, it makes sense to focus on the big and let go of the small. The success lies in the branches and ignores the details.
That night, two things happened, both of which were issued by Shen Tuhong and Zong Zhengsi.
The driver of Gongyezhou has been invited to the vicinity of Shentu and Zongzheng.
The meaning of this signal couldn't be clearer. The other eight newly promoted sect chiefs were all secretly jealous. Some people couldn't help but murmur in their hearts that Gongyezhou had clearly admitted that the strategy he came up with was the advice of the guests around him, not his own.
Gong. Shen Tuhong couldn't wait to ask the guest away, so that was all. How could Gongyezhou still be able to rise so rapidly?
With this person's simple mind and lack of strategy, he naturally doesn't understand the mystery.
As for another incident, it caused quite a stir.
Under the orders of Shentu and Zongzheng, the camp of the Chimei clan, protected by numerous forbidden formations, was uprooted and expanded southward, approaching two hundred miles.
If it were not for the truce between the Red Mei Tribe and the Holy Religion Ancestral Court, this move would have been greatly misunderstood. Even so, there were two groups of envoys from the Holy Religion camp who came to inquire about the matter.
This matter was naturally pushed aside by Shentu Hong Qiaoli.
Two days later, early morning.
Shen Tuhong, Zong Zhengsi, and Gui Wujiu slowly looked for directions and came to a small valley.
Gui Wujiu watched for a while, then turned around and said with a smile, "This is it."
Shen Tuhong and Zong Zhengsi looked at each other.
Zong Zhengsi smiled and said: "Being able to see the ancient secret place of your sect today has opened our horizons, and we feel the sincerity of our fellow Taoists. Regardless of whether we form an alliance or not, I, the Chimei clan, will always work for your sect."
We must keep it secret. Even if there are treasures in it, our clan will never take it."
As if he felt that he had finished speaking, Zong Zhengsi's eyes flickered, and he quickly added: "If there are really ancient treasures that are of great use to our clan, the two parties can trade fairly. Our clan will never cause the noble sect to suffer."
Shen Tuhong shook his head secretly. Although Zong Zhengsi's words were good, the twists and turns were a bit stiff and awkward.
In Shen Tuhong's view, although the four sects of Yin, Yang, Zhen and Mi have roughly the same potential in terms of cultivation, when it comes to acting carefully and thoughtfully, and at the right speed, they regard themselves as the best. If they are confident in their hearts, they will definitely do it.
He is the future leader of the Chimei clan. As for Zong Zhengsi and the other three, they each have their own shortcomings.
All this was blameless. Hearing this, it was naturally impossible to find fault. He just smiled slightly.
Gui Wujiu calmly unfolded a formation, and used his magic power to gently press on it. After about a quarter of an hour, several "dong" and "dong" sounds suddenly came from the air.
After a while, the qi movement in this area, which was two or three miles away, suddenly became chaotic. It was suddenly cold and hot, rising and falling, and it touched the cheeks, giving rise to a strange feeling, but the source could not be found.
This strong wind lasted for more than ten breaths, and suddenly strong lights shone out.
The strong light comes from seven or eight "dots", each "dot" is only the size of a walnut, which is not amazing; but when all the "dots" are gathered together, the brilliance is mixed, no less than the blazing brilliance of the sun at the zenith of the sky.
Fortunately, dozens of miles around, a group of "purple clouds" formed, which were extremely thick and solid. Even though these brilliance were extremely dazzling, they were not able to penetrate the obstacles.
The nails driven into the ancestral court of the Holy Religion a hundred miles away, and the arrangement of ears and eyes, naturally could not detect any strange phenomena.
Gui Wujiu secretly thought he was lucky.
According to the Yuqingmen classics, the scene after opening this secret realm is "moist but not violent, gentle but not impetuous, like moonlight", which can be easily covered up. Fortunately, I did not listen to his lies, but strictly arranged the situation.
Resolutely taking sides will prevent the secret from being leaked.
If you use some means to get it alone, it is inevitable that both the Red Mei Clan and the Holy Cult Ancestral Family will see the flaw.
But thinking about it from another angle, this is also an excellent excuse. This time, he used the small community of Yuqingmen to make friends and gain people's trust. This is a favor bargaining chip. This is to show generosity to others. In case the alliance fails, news from the secret realm
It was leaked again. At that time, it was assumed that his own information was wrong and he could not resist the vision of opening the realm gate, so he was discovered by the Red Mei clan. I expected that the Yuqing clan had nothing to say.
The points of light became more and more numerous, and finally they became like little tadpoles, swimming in the air for a while until they condensed into one and turned into a portal.
After waiting for another two-quarters of an hour, Gui Wujiu waited for the door to gradually stabilize, turned around, stretched out his hand, and said: "Please."
Zong Zheng was still waiting to be pushed aside, but Shen Tuhong had already taken the lead and got into the door.
Gui Wujiu is in the middle; Zongzheng Si is at the back.
What is the mystery of this sequence? Both sides understand it tacitly.
Although the hosts and guests of the three people are different, without exception, it is the first time for them to enter this small world.
After looking around, Shen Tuhong couldn't help but praise: "Good weather."
Gui Wujiu looked around, letting the fresh air hit his nose, and couldn't help but secretly marvel.
If you just take a cursory look around, you will see that the landscape, vegetation, and trees in front of you are very much the same as those outside. At least the species of the branches and trees covering hundreds of feet in the distance are clearly visible, and they are not exotic species.
Regardless of Gui Wu, Shen Tuhong and Zong Zhengsi are both knowledgeable people. They immediately recognized that most of the plants here can find their origins in the great world.
But if you look at it carefully, you can tell that the plants, vines and trees in this small world are either several feet or several feet taller than the same ones in the outside world, or two or three minutes shorter; or their color changes from dark to light, as if Among different regions and qi, they have gone their separate ways for a long time, forming significant differences.
Not only that, the atmosphere in this world is fresh, ancient, and uniquely interesting. Anyone who has reached a certain level of skill can tell the difference through careful sensing.
A gray-white ball with twenty-four holes appeared in Zong Zhengsi's hand. With a flick of his magic power, the ball floated slowly in his palm.
After more than ten breaths, Zong Zhengsi saw that the energy of the ball still showed no change, and said in surprise: "What a wide little world!"
Looking at Gui Wujiu, the sense of distance disappeared silently, and he looked much friendlier.
As he finished speaking, the ball in his palm turned a light gray.
This round ball with twenty-four holes drilled out of it is a rare treasure. It can determine the size of a realm from the circulation of qi, the rise and fall of qi, and the abundance of products.
Gui Wujiu has already succeeded in pushing out the secrets of this small world and gaining the trust of Shentu and Zongzheng. However, they are not fools. They have to see how important this small world is before it is considered dust. Only when things are settled can we discuss the good things of the alliance without any reservation.
As we can see now, this realm is indeed very vast. Among the hundreds of small realms controlled by the Chimei clan, it is enough to rank among the top ten.
Gui Wujiu can share the secret of such a large world with two people, which shows his sincerity.
When Gui Wujiu turned around and looked away, Shen Tuhong gently reached out and poked Zong Zhengsi's vest, with a hesitant look on his face, as if he was slightly disgusted.
Zong Zhengsi was a person who hesitated when he was off, and ignored when he was reserved and motionless. Whenever he entered a small world, he would take out the magic weapon to measure it.
Gui Wujiu suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "The three of us will go our separate ways and wander around here for a while, how about that?"
Shen Tuhong said in surprise: "Fellow Literary Daoist, aren't you worried that there are some treasures in this small world that I and I will find out and then steal?"
Gui Wujiu smiled and said, "Wen trusts the family background of the Chimei clan. If you two don't ask for much, Wen can give it to you. If you have something of great use to the nobles, you can exchange it."
He added: "In the future, if this place can be refined into a communication center, it will be of truly wonderful use."
This sentence is very vague.
Shen Tuhong and Zong Zhengsi all had a thought in their minds. They thought about it over and over again and seemed to be inexhaustible.
The three of them immediately dispersed.
For Shentu and Zongzheng, this trip was just for a brief viewing and to broaden their horizons; however, Gui Shao was determined to kill two birds with one stone and came with the purpose in mind.
It is said that the flowers planted intentionally do not bloom, but the willows planted unintentionally create shade. Nowadays, the two great medicines have been relegated to the last resort on the road to blameless. As expected, the two spiritual materials were not "in trouble" to blameless. After a search After that, it was easily found.
Two hours later, the guests and hosts had a great time, and the three of them left the place together, chatting and laughing.
