Chapter 372 Qingxue is ruined, Zheng Fa's road
Uncle-Master Pang's words caused a silence in the Heavenly Palace Island hall.
Madam Xuanhua seemed to be thinking of what he saw in the Bright Mountain hall that day. He nodded slowly and sighed in a low voice, "People who are used to the Nine Mountains Realm will really not adapt to Supreme Dao."
This is not purely a compliment Nine Mountains Realm.
It is true that the current style of the Nine Mountains Realm is increasingly deviating from the traditional Xuanwei Sect sect. Whether an old sect like Supreme Dao is good or not is secondary, but the habits should be quite different.
Nine Mountains Realm Ordinary life is now slowly on the right track.
When it comes to food, Qian True Person's achievements are one after another, and the recipes of the Nine Mountains's disciples are becoming increasingly rich.
Regarding spiritual materials, the research on <Golden Core Engineering> has solved an urgent need.
In terms of talent pool, in recent years there have been many children who have become proficient in grammar and have learned arithmetic.
It can be said that the foundation for the Nine Mountains Realm's great development has been gradually solidified, but the changes in the outside world have happened one after another.
The near threat is Great Freedom Devil Ancestor, and the distant trouble is Thunderclap Temple.
This kind of pressure to survive made Zheng Fa start to consider the second path besides independent development.
What he didn't expect was that it was normal for him to have the idea of developing on his own - after all, from the beginning, he was not very adaptable to the Xuanwei Immortal Sect's style and was incompatible with the original Nine Mountains Sect.
But Uncle-Master Pang and Madam Xuanhua have lived in the Xuanwei Realm for so many years. It should be said that there is nothing they are not used to. Now they actually have a vague desire not to join Supreme Dao.
You know, this is Five Sects of Xuanwei, Xuanwei, the Immortal Sect who has the highest status in the hearts of monks!
He raised his eyes and looked at the others.
Senior Sister Zhang, Old Yuan, Uncle-Master Pang, Aunt-Master Huang, and Madam Xuanhua also looked at him. They all looked at each other and laughed at each other.
Senior Sister Zhang's eyes sparkled with joy:
"It seems that we want to go together?"
Aunt-Master Huang nodded, with a smile on her face. She was usually expressionless, but her smile at this time was actually very touching.
Uncle-Master Pang suddenly let out a sigh and said, "When I left Hundred Immortals Alliance, I thought in my heart that I would never be tolerated by those birds of a feather again!"
"Supreme Dao, I'm going to wait, how can I have such a happy day today?"
Everyone talked for a while, but in the end everyone was inclined not to take refuge in Supreme Dao.
Seeing that Zheng Fa was silent, they stopped talking. They just left Senior Sister Zhang to accompany Zheng Fa and left the hall one by one.
Looking at the backs of this group of people, Zheng Fa sighed after a long time, "Master, Master, Uncle, they... have finally seen through me."
Uncle-Master Pang How many of their choices are because they really don't want to take refuge in Supreme Dao, and how much of them are... they understand his truest thoughts in his heart, Zheng Fa still knows it in his heart.
He consulted with these people because, to be honest, he wanted to hear some objections.
The result is good, each of these people is stronger than the other!
Senior Sister Zhang nodded first, then said slowly, "So it is not suitable for us to take refuge in Supreme Dao."
"Huh?"
Zheng Fa turned to look at Senior Sister Zhang and heard Senior Sister Zhang say, "Junior brother, you are sincere in nature. In other words, the city is not deep."
Zheng Fa feels this.
"Uncle and Master, they can often see through your thoughts..." Senior Sister Zhang paused and said, "This is not a bad thing. Although the world thinks that the unpredictable Sect Leader is the most powerful, you are so clear-minded and honest in everything, and you manage Nine Mountains Realm very well."
"Master and the others' words are also proof of your ability."
Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa with a bit of pride in her eyes, and she added, "But your personality is only suitable for an environment like Nine Mountains Realm where you can control the situation, or a sect with an extremely friendly atmosphere."
"Supreme Dao, maybe it is such a sect..."
"But more likely, no."
Zheng Fa blinked, what Senior Sister Zhang said is really very thorough - whether a person's personality is good or bad is often closely related to the environment. Kindness is a kind of stupidity on the battlefield, and loyalty in a notebook is... well, a kind of taste.
To be honest, with his kind of character, if he plays intrigues, schemes, and plans, he is afraid that he will be played to death if he doesn't say whether he is willing or not.
Senior Sister Zhang saw his expression change, and then said:
"Junior brother, what you are good at is using facts to impress people, using everyone's wisdom to solve problems, and leading a sect to grow slowly."
"Adding an old-fashioned Xuanwei Sect door won't suit you, it won't suit me, and it won't suit today's Nine Mountains Realm."
"What's more, who said that Supreme Dao doesn't covet Pure Tranquility Bamboo, doesn't covet Fusang Wood... doesn't covet <Nine Mountains Golden Core Method>?"
Zheng Fa fell into silence. What Senior Sister Zhang said was not profound, but it hit the most important point - in a traditional Xuanwei Immortal Sect environment, whether it is Zheng Fa or Nine Mountains Realm, it is a luxury to hope to grow up according to Zheng Fa's wishes.
It's hard to say whether taking refuge in Supreme Dao can solve the current troubles - at least Great Freedom Devil Ancestor and he are now fighting to the death.
But there will definitely be new troubles.
"Sister, you mean..."
"We'll talk about it later!" Determination flashed across Senior Sister Zhang's face, "Great Freedom Devil Ancestor, I haven't seen you before."
"There is Pure Tranquility Bamboo, there is Fusang Wood that has already taken shape, and now there is Green Duckweed Sword to help..."
"Are we weaker than last time?"
Zheng Fa nodded slowly. Senior Sister Zhang has different personalities from him. He is relatively conservative and often treats enemies with caution.
But Senior Sister Zhang... that's the traditional Xuanwei Heaven talent. Cross-level battles are commonplace, and the results can be checked!
When in doubt, give it a try first, which is Senior Sister Zhang's style.
After leaving Senior Sister Zhang, Zheng Fa took inventory of his property in his small courtyard.
Others really have no effect on Dao Fruit.
The first thing that is useful is Pure Tranquility Bamboo. This thing is extremely restrained against Great Freedom Devil Ancestor. It managed to defend Nine Mountains Realm last time.
Then there is the humanoid Fusang Wood - this Azure Yang Dao Body of mine is transforming into a great achievement, and it cannot be called the real Fusang Wood, but Demon Emperor Dao Fruit of Great Freedom Devil Ancestor, isn't that also a youth version?
Brothers in distress, no one can laugh at anyone.
Can it barely be considered a tie?
If Great Freedom Devil Ancestor has hidden strength, then we have to rely on...
Xie Qingxue's hard work!
But Xie Qingxue did not cooperate.
Zheng Fa These days, in addition to practicing and researching, I also practice Green Duckweed Sword with her.
To put it simply, Zheng Fa is like a switch, responsible for waking up Green Duckweed Sword, Xie Qingxue... is like a battery, responsible for providing spiritual power.
Xie Qingxue is reluctant and even resistant when cooperating with each other.
After a practice, Zheng Fa turned his head and looked at Xie Qingxue. Xie Qingxue also looked at him without showing any weakness, pursed his lips, and had the word "deliberate" written on his face.
The two looked at each other for a long time, both in silence.
Zheng Fa had already expected it--
He and Xie Qingxue are now afraid of each other, rather than sincerely cooperating.
He is greedy for Xie Qingxue's Green Duckweed Sword and cultivation, and is also afraid of the trouble Nine Mountains Golden Core Method will cause.
On the one hand, Xie Qingxue is afraid that Zheng Fa will reveal her secret, but on the other hand, she is also greedy for <Nine Mountains Golden Core Method>.
The combination of fear and interest is naturally unstable, not to mention that in this kind of drill, Xie Qingxue is the passive one.
Senior Sister Zhang has seen how proud Zheng Fa is.
Xie Qingxue's background, fortune, and talent are all better than Senior Sister Zhang's, so he will naturally be more arrogant, and of course he will have more awkwardness and grievances in his heart.
In the past few days, as the number of drills increased, Xie Qingxue's resistance became more obvious - although Zheng Fa can still induce Green Duckweed Sword with <Nine Mountains Golden Core Method>, Xie Qingxue's wholehearted cooperation is still needed to exert its extraordinary power.
Now... it's backfired.
It's easy to guess why Xie Qingxue dared to do this:
Although Zheng Fa now holds her pigtails, he doesn't dare to defeat her easily - the moment Zheng Fa reveals Xie Qingxue's secret, <Nine Mountains Golden Core Method> will also be exposed.
Although she can't resist the influence of Zheng Fa on Green Duckweed Sword, it doesn't stop her from acting badly.
After several times of cooperation, there was no progress at all.
Xie Qingxue did not cooperate but did not speak. He only looked at Zheng Fa.
Seeing this, Zheng Fa stopped forcing it and just said he would try again in the future.
In order to facilitate Xie Qingxue's participation in the research, she also has a guest courtyard on Myriad Immortals Island, just next to the courtyard of Yan Wushuang. These days, they are both in the Nine Mountains Realm.
When Xie Qingxue came back, Yan Wushuang had also just come back from Bright Mountain, with an expression that looked like he had eaten something wrong.
"Senior sister!" As soon as he saw Xie Qingxue, he couldn't help shouting, with desire to share on his face. "Guess what I heard?"
"What?"
Xie Qingxue frowned and seemed to be worried about how to deal with the relationship with Zheng Fa. She naturally didn't like the feeling of being manipulated, but now... she didn't dare to really fall out with Zheng Fa.
"Zheng Fa rejected Supreme Dao, Vast Sun Mountain and Jade Pool!"
Xie Qingxue was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses. "None of his family came to seek refuge?"
"Yes!" Yan Wushuang nodded, "Jade Pool and Vast Sun Mountain are fine. I heard that Supreme Dao's Venerable Chengkong seems extremely depressed..."
"Rejected..."
Xie Qingxue lowered his head, wondering where his thoughts were going.
"Senior sister, why did you say Zheng Fa refused?" Yan Wushuang was still chattering. He knew the truth and falsehood of the Nine Mountains Sect, and he also knew the current situation of the Xuanwei Realm. In fact, he understood Nine Mountains Realm's current situation very well.
Nine Mountains Realm is powerful.
But the treasures they possess and the accumulated Secret Method can provoke more powerful enemies.
"Zheng Fa is nothing but Golden Core... Nine Mountains Sect himself doesn't even have Spirit Transformation. Now that he has the opportunity to join Supreme Dao, he actually refuses..."
Yan Wushuang's words contained deep confusion.
"Could it be that after he defeated Great Freedom Devil Ancestor once, he felt that Nine Mountains Realm was invulnerable?"
"Based on my understanding of Zheng Fa, he is not such an arrogant person!"
"This is unreasonable..."
Listening to Yan Wushuang's whisper, Xie Qingxue's head gradually raised, and she whispered, "No, their choice... may be the right one."
"Ah?"
Xie Qingxue stopped explaining and just looked at the sky, seeming a little confused about the future. She was unwilling to be controlled by Zheng Fa, but she was more hesitant than Zheng Fa is now - she didn't even know which direction to go in the future.
"Fairy Xie?"
The figure of Zheng Fa suddenly appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.
Xie Qingxue raised his head in shock, and saw Zheng Fa pointing toward the door, saying, "Fairy Xie It's my first time here at the Nine Mountains. I haven't taken you to visit Nine Mountains Realm yet. I happen to be free today... How about?"
Xie Qingxue thought for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded.
The two walked out of Myriad Immortals Island one after the other, and Zheng Fa took her straight towards the mortal world.
"Fairy Xie."
"Huh?"
"I now know your deepest secret, and you also know my Nine Mountains Realm's most deadly Cultivation Method..." Zheng Fa's words clearly reached Xie Qingxue's ears in the wind, "Then I think you and I are not necessarily enemies, right."
Xie Qingxue said nothing.
Zheng Fa, however, had expected it, and continued, "Fairy Xie, I have always wanted to ask, why do you want to resurrect Patriarch Tianhe?"
"For what?"
Xie Qingxue was startled. It seemed that he had not thought about this problem at all, or that he had not thought about it clearly.
She pondered for a moment and then said, "Because I grew up hearing the name Founder... He is the person I respect the most."
"This respect turned into injustice after Spirit Transformation, when some truths were known."
"Then I met Green Duckweed Sword..."
Xie Qingxue was originally a talkative person, but now he speaks three or four sentences in a row, no longer as silent as before.
Zheng Fa listened quietly, and after she finished speaking, he said, "So what if Venerable Tianhe is resurrected?"
This was something he had actually not thought about. The lineage of Tianhe's third disciple Patriarch Shouzhong was indeed respectable, but Zheng Fa really didn't know what Xie Qingxue wanted.
If Patriarch Shouzhong really has feelings for Venerable Tianhe, Zheng Fa believes it.
But Xie Qingxue is willing to give his life just because of the injustice in his heart?
This is a bit too much.
Xie Qingxue heard what he meant, opened his mouth, but was speechless, and seemed unable to answer the question.
"What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that if Fairy Xie you are dissatisfied with the current situation or have no hope for the future, then I would like to ask you to take a look at the current Nine Mountains Realm."
Zheng Fa looked at Xie Qingxue and said seriously.
He once heard a saying that sometimes, missing the past is just dissatisfaction with the current situation.
This is his guess about Xie Qingxue.
Xie Qingxue's pupils shrank, as if Zheng Fa had tapped into some of his true inner thoughts.
"What? You want me to be like Yan Wushuang, with the name Tianhe Sect and the real loyalty Nine Mountains Sect?"
Xie Qingxue was in a daze for a moment, put away the look in his eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth, as if he was mocking.
"Yes."
Zheng Fa suddenly smiled. This smile was so frank that even Xie Qingxue was surprised. She looked at Zheng Fa for a moment and then asked, "What do you want me to see?"
"Did Brother Yan tell you about Divine Firmament Flying Car?"
Xie Qingxue nodded, Zheng Fa pointed to the sky, and in the sky, dozens of improved Divine Firmament Flying Car were flying in the air.
On the ground, there is a big river.
The new Half-Mountain City is on the left bank of the river. The flying boat started from the new Half-Mountain City and followed the river, passing through villages. In less than half a day, it arrived at another newly built state city.
Zheng Fa The two of them did not disturb the common people, but remained invisible in the sky.
These improved flying boats are divided into two types, one for transporting people and the other for transporting cargo.
The one that transports people is more delicate and safer, while the one that transports cargo is much rougher, but it has a large capacity and each has its own advantages.
Although Half-Mountain City is newly built, there are flying boats carrying cargo and people, and Marketplace is also extremely lively - there are people from other prefectures selling specialties brought there, people from nearby villages come to sell vegetables and grains, and there are also some foreign merchants visiting Marketplace.
The liveliness level is not bad compared to some big cities in the Xuanwei Realm.
Outside the city are neatly plotted farmlands. The crops in the fields are all different, but they all grow extremely well.
"That is?"
Xie Qingxue couldn't help but point to a Qi Refinement Realm monk who was preaching in the field and asked.
"He is a disciple of our sect and now works in the Half-Mountain City Agriculture Department." Zheng Fa recognized him at just one glance and introduced him to Xie Qingxue.
Xie Qingxue showed some of her true nature at this time. She asked, "What is the Agriculture Department?"
"It is the department that popularizes agricultural knowledge within our sect."
Xie Qingxue's eyes widened suddenly, and she exclaimed, "Agricultural knowledge? You used this knowledge to cultivate Pure Tranquility Bamboo and Fusang Wood!"
"Of course, this knowledge will not be imparted easily." Zheng Fa said frankly, "They won't be able to use it either. They just need some new planting methods."
Xie Qingxue nodded when he heard this, but still looked at the Qi Refinement Realm disciple intently. Seeing that he was really serious about teaching those farmers, he turned back to look at Zheng Fa and asked in confusion, "Why?"
Zheng Fa looked at her as if he didn't know what she was asking.
"What's the use?"
Her reaction to seeing these things is different from Yan Wushuang and Old Han...
After all, Yan Wushuang and Old Han have some compassionate feelings.
But Xie Qingxue didn't. It was even hard for her to understand why Zheng Fa wanted monks to help mortals.
Zheng Fa thought for a while, then took her to the ground. The two of them walked Half-Mountain City like a pair of ordinary young men and women, surrounded by the noisy school.
"Because I am also dissatisfied with the current situation."
Zheng Fa said suddenly.
Xie Qingxue was stunned for a moment when he heard this and turned to look at him.
"I don't know Fairy Xie what you think is wrong with the Immortal Sect, so you want to resurrect Patriarch Tianhe."
"I also think the current Immortal Sect is wrong."
Zheng Fa's words made Xie Qingxue's eyes even more confused.
"It's just that I don't put my hope of changing Immortal Sect on the people in the past." Zheng Fa pointed at the children playing in the classroom and said, "I put my hope on my own hands, and... on them."
"Them?" Xie Qingxue's tone was full of disbelief, "How can they compare to Founder?"
"Didn't we also create <Nine Mountains Golden Core Method>?"
Zheng Fa asked rhetorically.
"That's because you have extraordinary talent." Xie Qingxue said matter-of-factly.
"No." Zheng Fa looked at Xie Qingxue with clear eyes, "There are many things in <Nine Mountains Golden Core Method> that were perfected by those disciples with lower cultivation levels."
"But Spirit Element Periodic Theory, Five-Element Sub-Talisman, they were all summarized or proposed by you."
Zheng Fa shook his head slowly and said with a smile, "Fairy Xie, whether you believe it or not, the only thing that I can beat Xuanwei monks is actually taught to me by a group of people without any cultivation."
After hearing this, Xie Qingxue's face was filled with confusion, but looking at Zheng Fa's candid eyes, she felt that Zheng Fa was telling the truth, and she didn't know what to ask anymore.
"Fairy Xie, I don't think you have to help me. You also know that I don't want to become Xuanwei's public enemy with you." Zheng Fa's voice seemed to have penetrated into her heart, "I am saying that if you want to change something, maybe resurrecting Founder is not the only way."
Zheng Fa watched Xie Qingxue return to his residence. Naturally, he came here to persuade Xie Qingxue, but he was not a very good lobbyist.
Just like Senior Sister Zhang said - he will only use facts to impress people, use everyone's wisdom to solve problems, and use his own ideas to slowly grow Nine Mountains Sect.
What he is showing Xie Qingxue now is nothing more than this, only this.
A few days after Xie Qingxue returned, he would touch Green Duckweed Sword from time to time and think deeply. Zheng Fa did not look for her again, as if he had finished speaking.
Until one day, Zheng Fa had someone deliver a small box with a piece of paper stuck in the middle.
There is another sentence on the paper. "Fairy Xie, this is the path I want to take."
Xie Qingxue opened the box and found that there was only a thin, brand-new book inside. On the top of the cover, there were two words written--
<Immortal Way>.
