Chapter 315 Avoiding the dust but not the calamity
After Zhang Yu's words fell, there was no sound in the field for a moment.
The few monks from the Chengyou sect present seemed to be deeply shaken after hearing the shocking news, to the point where they could not speak.
The impact of this news is not small. Shangchentian and Huanyang sect are not just any small sects. Not to mention the mighty Shangjing behind them, but to talk about the strength of the sect itself, any one of them can easily
Overwhelm them all.
These two sects have existed since ancient Xia, especially the Huanyang sect, which is so tyrannical. Neither the ancient Xia nor the Shenxia period could really suppress it. Although Shenxia integrated various sects through mergers in the later period, their strength was once
Huanyang was suppressed for a time, but due to the existence of Shangchentian, Shenxia had no choice but to compromise and cooperate with the two families to jointly fight.
But Zhang Yu just told them that one of these two sects was surrendered by Tianxia, and the other was simply wiped out by Tianxia?
The female Taoist among them took a long time to come back to her senses and said: "Zhang Tingzhi, this matter is more important. We can't make a decision now. We need to think about it temporarily."
Zhang Yu understands that he will not just listen to his word about this news, and people from the Chengyou Sect will also try to confirm it. But this is good, at least he is willing to seriously consider it.
He did not intend to intimidate the other party, but sometimes you cannot have a normal conversation with the other party if you do not show the comparison of strength between the two parties. This is because the other party resists you from the bottom of his heart and has set a distance from the beginning.
And as a result, being willing to come out and talk is just a pretentious gesture.
And after he lays out these "reasons", the other party will at least have some concerns and consider the consequences if he refuses again.
This is not too much. In a Taoist sect, the higher the Taoism, the clearer the principles. Tianxia is now the most powerful. In the eyes of the conservative true cultivators, that means he has mastered the greatest principles. And like this
If you are willing to bend down and reason with you, then you are actually very talkative.
In fact, if it weren't for the threat of Yuan Xia and for fear that Youcheng would be exploited, Tian Xia would not have bothered to pay attention to this escapist sect. However, if Tian Xia didn't come to interfere, if Yuan Xia came, he might not have a good talk with them, and he might take advantage of them.
If You closes in, it will be detrimental to Chengyou and Tianxia families.
He said: "No problem, I can wait here. But I would like to say something here, if we make a covenant, it will be binding on you as well as on me, but in the end it will be beneficial to both of us.
"
The female Taoist said cautiously: "Zhang Tingzhi, we will think about it seriously later."
Zhang Yu glanced aside and saw that the Taoist surnamed Qiao who made the sarcastic remarks said nothing more. He thought it was because of the fate of the Huanyang and Shangchen factions that he did not dare to speak out again.
The woman apologized, and then the light in the place where the six people were was dimmed, and then the six islands became empty for a while.
Zhang Yu took a few glances and found that this sect had indeed been away from the world for a long time. They left the envoys who came to visit them here without saying anything and went directly to discuss them.
Although he doesn't care about these etiquette things and can view the matter more understandingly, if someone with a bad temper comes here, he may feel that he is being treated lightly, and more troubles will occur for no reason.
After several members of the Youcheng faction lost their consciousness, they each turned into light and landed in the inner hall. Although they were preparing to gather together for discussion, their true identities were still not revealed.
The Chengyou sect's cultivation method emphasizes being free from worldliness and burdens, so that they can cross the road lightly. They usually do this, avoiding seeing each other if they can, so as to avoid deepening the contamination between each other. But this is also a meritorious practice.
When you reach a certain level, you need to avoid it. The process of the Chengyou Sect's techniques from low to high is a gradual process of escaping from the world.
But as far as ordinary disciples are concerned, there are actually no strict rules. They practice normally every day, and they are no different from ordinary monks outside. Moreover, not everyone is obsessed with transcending the world.
The method that Chengyou Sect has always admired is to be able to enter the world without being stained by dust, and then you can achieve the great merit of avoiding the world. Blindly rejecting external stains is not a superior method, nor is it advisable. It is just to avoid unreasonable things, so it is only to avoid unreasonable things.
Monks declare that they must not be contaminated by the worldly world.
The Taoist surnamed Qiao didn't dare to say anything just now, but now he questioned: "Is it true that someone from Tianxia said about Shangchen and Huanyang sects? Is this person deliberately intimidating us?"
Someone said: "Tianxia wouldn't be such nonsense. Such things can be found out with just one check. With Tianxia's ability, he doesn't really think that we can't know anything after we hide from the world."
There were also people who didn't like causing trouble and said: "My fellow disciples, I think what Zhang Tingzhi said is reasonable. Now that Tianxia wants me and the contract, why not agree to it?"
The man from before agreed: "That's right, Tian Xia's requirements are not high. As long as they don't interfere with each other, that's enough. Although we will lose some practice by forming a contract with Tian Xia, it's not a big deal. This saves money."
Let Tian Xia always keep an eye on us. If other factions cannot find me, Tian Xia cannot be avoided."
The Taoist surnamed Qiao objected: "Everyone, we Chengyou have never had anything to do with the Taoist sect in the world. If we do this, wouldn't it go against the purpose of our sect? What's more, if we respond now, it will clearly show that we are afraid of Tianxia.
.”
At this time, someone else said in doubt: "Speaking of the enemy Zhang Tingzhi mentioned in Tianxia, what exactly is it? There are only a few powerful sects from Xia, and they are neither Huanyang nor Shang.
Chentian, which sect is it? Is it a newly rising force?"
The Taoist surnamed Qiao said in a strange tone: "Where are there any newly emerged sects? If there is no powerful superior, these sects can threaten us? Even if they do exist, except for Shangchen and Huanyang, they can't threaten me, Chengyou."
, but if it is a sect under the command of Tian Xia, then maybe, after all, Tian Xia is behind it."
Everyone looked at him in confusion, feeling that Taoist Qiao seemed to be too hostile to Tianxia. Although Tianxia came to them to express their displeasure, he was not so malicious.
A Taoist priest suggested: "Senior Sister Han, I think that Zhang Tingzhi should be a Taoist cultivator who has achieved excellent results. It is difficult for us to deal with it. How about asking the two senior brothers?"
The female Taoist said helplessly: "Junior Brother Xu, now both senior brothers are wandering around the universe, honing their skills, but they don't know when their thoughts will come back."
Taoist Xu said: "What about asking the two ancestors?"
Han Nudao sighed: "As long as the sect is not in danger of being destroyed, how can the Patriarch have the leisure to take care of such things?"
In fact, everyone knows that the Patriarch doesn't like to pay attention to foreign affairs. Even if the sect is in danger of being destroyed, he might just grab a few cultivation seeds and leave them alone.
When Taoist Xu saw that this was not possible, he said: "Then... why don't I delay it for a while? Wait until the two senior brothers come back before making a decision?"
Han Nudao thought for a while and realized that this was indeed a solution. She could handle the daily mundane affairs in the household, but she couldn't make a decision on such a big matter. She sighed: "Okay, I'll try to put the two together later."
A senior brother was called back to discuss the matter.
After the six people reached an agreement, they returned to the original suspended island.
When Zhang Yu saw the figure reappearing in the light, he couldn't help but look over. Han Nudao bowed to him and said sincerely: "Zhang Tingzhi, we can't come up with a countermeasure for the time being because it involves a major sect matter.
It is up to the senior brothers in the sect to make the decision, and since the two senior brothers are not in the sect for the moment, we cannot make a decision rashly. We will recall the two senior brothers later and will give you a reply at that time."
Zhang Yu said calmly: "Then I hope your sect can give you an answer as soon as possible, because it won't take long for the transformation to arrive. I will leave today."
He said no more, raised his sleeves and saluted, turned around and walked out. After exiting the palace door, following the guidance of the golden talisman, he returned to the upper level of Qingdong in an instant and merged with Zhengshen.
He was sitting in his seat thinking for a moment when his thoughts changed and he fell into the depths of the Qingqiong Boat in an instant, but he came directly here to find Chen Yu's resurrection.
After entering the airspace and the two parties greeted each other, Chen Yu asked: "Zhang Tingzhi, was this trip smooth?"
Zhang Yudao: "On this trip, I successfully met the monks from the Chengyou Sect, but they were not very enthusiastic about the appointment." He gave a general explanation of the trip, and then said: "The person in charge of the Chengyou Sect said that it was
We have to wait for the senior fellow disciples in the sect to come back and make the decision, but Yu feels that the main purpose here is to delay. If they can't make a decision, then they should say so from the beginning instead of making excuses later."
Chen Yu said: "What is Zhang Tingzhi's idea?"
Zhang Yudao: "If we calculate according to our limit, then the arrival of Yuanxia is not far away. We can wait for a few days. If there is no response from the Chengyou Sect during the period, then Yu Jianyan, ask Fellow Daoist Li to Xianding Fellow
, Fellow Taoist Zhengqing and Wu Tingzhi will go to Chengyou Sect with Yu."
Chen Yu said in a deep voice: "Is Zhang Tingzhi planning to use coercion?"
Zhang Yudao: "It's not considered a threat. It's just asking you all to visit us together. It depends on what the other party thinks."
Seeing that the Chengyou faction neither dared to refuse nor wanted to agree, he felt that Tianxia's strength should be shown off.
If the Chengyou sect insists on refusing and is not moved by words, let alone deterred, then he will look at the other party with a high regard, because this also proves that even if this sect is threatened by life and death, it will still stick to its original position and will not easily give up.
It will waver, so there is no need to continue.
But now it is wavering. This generation is so weak. Just imagine, if Yuan Xia arrives and uses strong methods to win over this faction, Bao Buqi will not be able to stand the persecution and turn back to deal with Tian Xia.
Chen Yu was also very decisive and said: "I am sure about this matter. I will give Zhang Tingzhi the greatest authority to you. You can bring whatever you need for this trip. In addition, the high-ranking powerful man in Youcheng is similar to the Chengyou sect."
There is some connection, I have just sent a letter there, asking Taoist friend Xian Ding to try to ask a few questions. If everything goes well, then there will be news back later."
