Four hundred and sixtieth chapters between leaving and staying
What’s the secret behind this half ruler?
Holding this fragment of a magic weapon obtained from the disciple Mao Kan of Dengxian, Jiang Feng studied it for a long time, even infiltrating a trace of spiritual power into it many times, but was unable to decipher the secret. There were not many disciples to accompany Yingge, only Taihua.
On the side, I felt quite lonely, and there was no one to go with me.
"Just an inexplicable familiarity?"
"Yes, it seems familiar. But I can't tell clearly. I'm afraid I won't know until I find my other half." Taihua said, "I think it may have something to do with my life experience."
"If we trace it back, isn't your first ancestor one of those ancestors in Dahuang Town, He She?" Jiang Feng remembered the various impressions he had in the cave in Fuyuan Town, which involved the things he had buried deep in his heart.
There are many secrets, which is why Jiang Feng is unwilling to share the fragments of this magic weapon with the elders for research.
"However, they don't recognize you as orthodox, and the clone on the first generation leader Lin Dong, judging from the time when 'He She' left, is not 'He Snake' himself, it can only be an authentic clone.
.As for you, you are probably the result of a clone. Even if you can see through it, it doesn't mean much, right?"
In fact, Jiang Feng has had very little interest in the origin of the Black Snake Spirit and even the mystery of his own life experience since he escaped from Dahuang Town. Even if he could figure it out, it would not be of much help to himself and the Qianshan Sect in their current predicament.
, even the trip to "Haitang Sanren Mansion" that may involve the secret of the death of Ren Wodao, the ninth generation leader, he was not in a hurry to facilitate the exploration.
After all, no matter what happened in the past, no matter what the reasons were that led me, who had always been unknown and not well-known in the sect, to take over as the tenth generation head, it is not that important to me who has now firmly established this position.
"I feel that my encounter with you was not accidental." Taihua noticed Jiang Feng's waning interest, "If it weren't for the reminder from those ancestors, I would have even forgotten that I had been there. For this reason, I also re-
I have recovered some of my memories. I remember that before I met you, I was wandering somewhere in the Asan Mountain Sect. When you used the ritual to summon the clone of the Black Snake Spirit, I happened to be the closest and was locked by the power of the ritual.
Forcibly merged with you."
"In other words, I was supposed to get a copy of the imprisoned Black Snake Spirit instead of the free you?"
"Yes, I think so."
"In other words, why are you in a free state?"
"This is what I want to find out, and it is also the key to my life experience. This ruler should be an opportunity. Of course, I also thought of another way, which is to collect the clones of other black snake spirits in your door."
"This is impossible."
Jiang Feng subconsciously objected, but then he remembered Shen Junmao's example. Stripping away the black snake spirit did not make him die, but rejuvenated him. Of course, it was after the black snake spirit was about to swallow his life and disperse according to the rules.
It's a special moment, but the elders in the door are not in this special state right now.
"Even if you agree, I can't do anything. I can't forcibly peel off the strong black snake spirit clone." Taihua suspended in the air and swam slowly, "devouring the evil spirit is also a good method. If the ink sea tree
I can absorb all the ferocious spirits in Bai Ruoxi's body. I think as I become more powerful, I may be able to retrieve more memories and help you more. This happened when I absorbed the ferocious spirits in Bai Ruoxi's body.
I feel it.”
"Mohaishu may still be able to figure it out, but Bai Ruoxi's ferocious spirit was planted by Qin Jiuzhen." Taihua's thoughts made Jiang Feng take a breath of air. At first, Mohaishu made two agreements with himself under Qiu Nanjia's intervention.
Years of "peace" period, now am I plotting against him? As for Qin Jiuzhen, Bai Shiduo asked me to seek revenge, but now Taihua, are you going to encourage me to kill an egg with an egg against a stone? This is not possible, even if I am promoted to the prefecture level, I will not
So arrogant to that extent.
"So, you need to improve as soon as possible, give up all the mundane affairs here as much as possible, and retreat with peace of mind. If I can use your strength to improve and go further, it will be a good thing for you."
"The more powerful you are, the more powerful you will exploit me?"
"As a matter of nature, I cannot resist the law of possession by the spirit of the black snake. However, you and I are one body. As long as our combined power is stronger, isn't it a good thing?"
What you said makes sense, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like I am carrying you on my back and going to the great road together. Jiang Feng couldn't help but retort in his heart, when it came to cultivation, he really didn't want to sit in the cave.
"You should know that my black gold gourd method is not a product of war cultivation. Although Qin Jiuzhen forcibly improved it a little in order to facilitate Jiang Kegui's control of the Tower of Eternity, it is still inferior. Sitting in the cave for many years, I am afraid that
It won’t improve a little. What’s more, the situation of Qianshan Sect does not allow me to stop and rest. Even if everything goes well, it will take at least another year to support the consumption of materials for my cultivation.”
"Then let's search along the Baishui River first. Maybe if I get the other half of the ruler, I can also retrieve some memories." Taihua said, "I have a feeling.
Intuition, as long as I can retrieve some memories, it may be of great help to you."
"Do I have to prepare a lot of high-level monster eggs first?"
"Of course. However, I forgot to remind you that you can actually bake it before eating it."
"I didn't tell you earlier!" Jiang Feng curled his lips and put the Black Snake Spirit into his arm. He believed in Taihua's intuition, but the easiest way to improve it right now is to find the other half of the Ruler. It's just a tributary of the Baishui River.
Quite a few. If you don’t have a target to search for them, it will be a lot of work.
Or searching near Donghu County first is also a feasible idea. Fortunately, except for the source, most of the Baishui River is within the scope of the Jincheng Alliance. Now that it has joined the alliance, it is convenient to search, but it just needs a good excuse.

"Elder Liu, after joining the Huanglong Sect, you can naturally walk around at will in the Jincheng League."
Along the way, Zuo Zichan explained to Liu Canran many of the rules within the Jincheng Alliance, including the issue of training in the cave that Liu Canran was most worried about. This made Liu Canran feel more at ease, and she secretly sighed that she had joined the Huanglong Sect.
The above is a good move.
After gathering and killing five large batches of ghosts in succession, a group of three people finally arrived at a deep downward cave. The ghost energy here was already faint, but judging from the erosion of the surrounding stone walls, the ghost energy seemed to have just dissipated.
Went not long ago.
"Someone has come." Feeling the breath that was about to dissipate in the air, Zuo Zichan made a judgment based on this, "But it's not the few people who were traveling with us."
It was Feng Jiming who was a liar. Of course Liu Canran would not admit his mistake with such a sly aura, but he did not say it out loud, which would expose the secrets of his previous travels with Feng Jiming and trigger more topics, so he pretended
He asked in confusion, "If it's not Qiu Daocheng, who could it be?" While talking, he noticed a square bronze seal reflecting the dim light in the cave below, and concluded that this should be the ultimate goal of this trip.
, then suggested, "If it weren't for them, would we have to wait here and work together to make progress in stability and gain more benefits?"
"There is no need for this. Speaking of benefits, for me, meeting Daoist Liu during this trip is already a full harvest." Zuo Zichan smiled and said, "There is a question that Elder Liu can think about. The ghost cave here is
It is located in the hinterland of Red Dragon Gate, why didn’t they explore it themselves, instead Qiu Daocheng came forward and invited us and other monks from outside the sect to explore it first?”
"This..." Liu Canran, who didn't know why Qiu Daocheng and Zuo Zichan cooperated, naturally couldn't judge.
"There is cause and effect here that they don't want to be implicated in." Zuo Zichan said, "If I guessed correctly, Qiu Daocheng should be resting halfway, waiting for reinforcements from the Red Dragon Gate. And you have already sensed the changes just now, and they are very
Will come with you soon."
Liu Canran looked puzzled. He understood the words, but actually understood nothing.
"There is no need to be ashamed. If it weren't for the guidance of an expert, I wouldn't have realized this." Zuo Zichan smiled and patted Liu Canran on the shoulder, "So, what I have to do now is to take whatever I can.
Take something and leave as soon as possible, otherwise, wouldn’t it be sad to make a wedding dress for others in vain? Fortunately, someone came first, so we don’t need to worry about this cause and effect.”
Liu Canran finally understood this time.
Contaminated cause and effect, he once heard his master Tai Ronghao say that people who have not reached the prefectural level cannot understand this. This also relieved the last hidden worry in his heart, which was the relationship between Zuo Zichan and Qiu Daocheng.
It was just a simple cooperative relationship with no friendship, so as far as he was concerned, he did not need to worry about Zuo Zichan taking Qiu Daocheng's face into consideration in the future, which would be detrimental to him.
As for Feng Jiming, who was tainted with karma, it can only be said that he deserves it.
Thinking about this, Liu Canran glanced at the bronze cover in the cave, and was about to approach, but was stopped by Zuo Zichan with a wave of his hand. He saw Song Weiduo suddenly surrounded by black energy, and he plunged into the cave, only to see
Countless dead energy suddenly surged out from around the bronze cover, completely surrounding Song Weiduo. However, the gray aura that was originally harmless to the living made Song Weiduo feel very comfortable, like a fish in the sea.
Like this, he absorbed all the death energy, and then Zuo Zichan shot out a light screen talisman to illuminate the entire cave. He only said "go" and jumped into the cave one step ahead of Liu Canran.
This half-demon who was resurrected from the dead was indeed very capable. Liu Canran, who had already learned about the origin of Song Weiduo, couldn't help but secretly sigh that Zuo Zichan was very thoughtful and had prepared everything for this trip to the ghost cave.
In comparison, junior sister Mu Qianxue, although she is a female, is far less delicate than Zuo Zichan. He sighed softly in his heart, and secretly said that there was only one thought difference between leaving and leaving. Now, when they meet again,
, he is already a foreigner.
…………
Qianshan Sect, Luo Chuan, head of the inner palace.
"Already decided?"
After learning from the law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao that Ding Baozhen was leaving the clan and joining a small chamber of commerce, Jiang Feng was shocked and had to give up all official duties and summoned Ding Baozhen alone. He was originally going to leave Luochuan in the afternoon.
southbound trade route,
Continue your unfinished work.
"Yes, thank you for taking care of me for so many years. Ding has already thought about it. Since there is no hope of success, it is better to do something you like while you have more time in your remaining life."
"It's not that many years, I think it's only been three years." Jiang Feng sighed softly, "I originally considered you to serve as a full-time elder of the Changning Chamber of Commerce after completing the trade route. However, you are the only one here
In terms of his familiarity with various affairs of the Suggestions Division, no one in the sect can match him."
"The leader is so complimentary." Ding Baozhen bowed his head and saluted. He seemed to be touched when he heard about the position of the Changning Chamber of Commerce, but his expression immediately relaxed, "In this regard, Yue Xishan was also good back then, but his mind was not here."
Yuexi Mountain?
Jiang Feng almost forgot this name, and then remembered those unpleasant past events. It seemed that the seeds of departure were planted on the day Yue Xishan died. However, as far as the Qianshan Sect was concerned, Ding Baozhen was still
He has feelings and wants to treat him well. Therefore, when there is no suitable opportunity, he can still devote himself to his duties and fulfill his duties.
"If it were him, would you stay?"
"Maybe not, or even left early." Ding Baozhen sighed, "Although I have some personal friendship with him, Yue Xishan deserves to die. I bring up the old things again, but I have no intention of blaming you, the leader. If it were me,
I will handle it the same as you."
"To be honest, does leaving have anything to do with spiritual land or salary?" Ding Baozhen's departure is the first Xuan-level monk to lose since he joined the sect. Yue Xishan was killed but Zhao Yun failed to retain him.
Lei was not a member of the Qianshan Sect, so Jiang Feng wanted to find a deeper reason. Otherwise, if the hidden danger was not eliminated, it would be very likely that others would leave one after another.
"Yes, but not entirely." Ding Baozhen's eyes were bright, "Most of the monks in the sect have average appearance and qualifications. If they want to advance further, they need more resources, but the situation in the sect obviously cannot satisfy everyone.
, Of course, this is not your fault, Master. You have done a good job, but compared to other sects around you, you are still a little behind."
"Isn't it good to be a full-time elder of the Changning Chamber of Commerce? Although they haven't said it, I think they will give you some extra salary for this position. Although the two parties have not agreed on this, it must be acquiescence," Ding Baozhen said.
is a common phenomenon, but for Ding Baozhen personally, Jiang Feng thought that what he planned for him was enough to meet his needs.
"I'm different, I'm a special case." Ding Baozhen's lips moved, "I actually met someone I can talk to. What I'm talking about is just the status of other people in the sect. For example, as far as I know, most of the deacons and below
The position and the salary provided are difficult to meet the needs of peaceful cultivation. In addition, from my personal opinion, there are two reasons. One is the lack of skills, and the other is the path for advancement."
"Although the sect provides two kinds of exercises, they cannot meet everyone's needs. After all, everyone's situation and suitable exercises are different."
"As for the ascending channel, it is a generally accepted rule that the capable will go up and the mediocre will go down."
Having made up his mind to leave, Ding Baozhen finally no longer had any scruples, "For example, the elder Zheng Luda, who actually manages the sect's small spiritual veins and mines, has not done much to expand the sect's financial resources; another example is the deacon Wang of the Rolling Curtain Department.
B. Apart from delivering messages to the leader, he doesn’t have much sense of presence. When people close to the leader are in danger, he has never seen the Rolling Curtain Division. Instead, he needs the Mirror Division and the Military Struggle Division to mobilize troops; Elder Qi Fu
Zhao Wenjun, the workshop he was in charge of part-time wasted a lot of money, and in the end he only made a small profit. Although it has not been confirmed, I heard that he also made a lot of money for himself; also, the post of Beimu County Guard, although the head of the job is appointed by you
There is nothing wrong with Mrs. Su, but I have recently heard that everything she handles is all done by deputy governor Xu Xiaofei."
"Hey" Ding Baozhen sighed, "I think many things are obvious to all. If a piece of wood on the foundation rots and is not replaced in time, sooner or later the pavilion will be destroyed."
"Xu Xiaofei was supposed to replace you as the deacon of the Advice Department. He only waited for the southbound trade road to be completed." Jiang Feng smiled, which made Ding Baozhen stunned. "What you said is not unreasonable. For these positions, talented people and virtues should indeed be given."
But I am also worried about whether someone who does not have enough prestige and is rashly transferred to this position will be able to convince the public. This is why I want to hold another martial arts competition this winter."
"When you took over as the leader, you didn't have enough prestige. Didn't you go through all the obstacles and finally convince others?"
The words "Tall Hat" made Jiang Feng feel happy.
But he soon woke up and realized that there was nothing to be proud of. He knew his own sufferings. If it weren't for the fact that his cultivation had climbed all the way to the prefectural level, and he had introduced many ways to make money, and he was willing to feed back the sect before he could benefit.
, this position is also not stable.
"Who will you take away?"
Ding Baozhen had already decided to leave, whether it was his own feeling or Wang Xiandao's personal inquiry. Therefore, Jiang Feng also gave up his intention to continue persuading him. Who he would take away and when he would leave was the key.
