But I'm not good at talking.
Because no matter how you put it, it's not in line with the rules.
Unless, I'm willing to directly hand over the female yuzi.
Otherwise, I fear the other elders will have their own opinions.
We can only wait for He Youyan to open his mouth.
Even if He Youyan speaks, it will be difficult for him to do so, and it is almost impossible to be perfect.
Either he will lose the support and recognition of the other elders, or he will fulfill Mingjing Zhenren's wishes!
Mingjing Zhenren... he's like an old cunning fox!
"I think we should let Young Master return the female yuzi to the Leishen Cliff," He Youyan straightened his short beard and said.
The hall fell into an immediate silence.
"The female yuzi has the function of supervision, just as I previously mentioned. The female ancestor should have taken it out long ago, either because it's time or because Young Master's opportunity. If he makes it easy for others to get the female yuzi, it might not be acceptable to the ancestor. If Mr. True Man thinks it should be kept for safekeeping, Mr. True Man can take it himself. If he obtains it, then it will also be approved by the ancestor." He Youyan explained very directly and clearly.
My heart rate has increased quite a bit!
Those involved are confused, but onlookers see clearly. He Youyan's way of handling it can be considered quite exquisite!
The hall fell into an unprecedented silence.
"True Man?" He Youyan's gaze burned with intensity.
After a pause of two seconds, Mingjing Zhenren nodded and said, "Elder Great has a valid point, indeed it's very good."
"Therefore, later on, Young Master will go up to the Leishen Cliff. We still need to decide on the place for him to cultivate."
"Although you don't have such a talisman as the female yuzi in your hand, the two talismans on your waist should not be simple."
"I heard from Xiang Ke that you have a staff-like talisman that can break through the infernal prison?"
"You have two options. One is to take off your personal talismans and let the Elder Great keep them, and give you a set of normal talismans for regular disciples to use. My arrangement for the experience will be on the same level as the regular disciples."
"If the talisman is retained, it will be more difficult accordingly."
Mingjing Zhenren's tone softened, but my heart felt heavier. For a moment, I had a feeling of having reached rock bottom.
This is an obvious scheme.
The female yuzi has been taken from me, and now they want other talismans?
No...
My body was drenched in cold sweat for a moment.
Is it really just taking off the talismans? Will Mingjing Zhenren also demand that he checks them one by one?
In fact, he's not interested in the talismans at all; he's after the Four Regulations Bright Mirror on me.
If I don't agree, perhaps, even if I take away the female yuzi, the experience arranged by Mingjing Zhenren for me will still not be easy.
Not only that……he wants to use the experience to legally clamp down on me.
And in the shadows, I also have to guard against the Ghost Crib and the Tienshou Temple...
It's like I'm facing them from the front and the back.
The disciples nodded slightly, clearly thinking that Mingjing Zhenren had made a good arrangement.
He Youyan's hand rested on his short beard, saying nothing.
The other elders also remained silent, as if they were waiting for me to answer.
It can be seen that there is no compulsion in this matter.
At least on the surface, Mingjing Zhenren is fair.
"I am accustomed to my own talismans. A bit more challenging in the experience doesn't matter. As long as it's not impossible, I can try." I opened my mouth in a hoarse voice and expressed my attitude.
"Hzze, good! The last disciple of the Master, indeed has courage."
"Since so, in order to make the disciples feel fair and just, it is necessary to lose fairness. The Four Regulations are located 300 miles southwest of Shanxi, there is an abandoned village. The records in the books say that this village was once a transportation hub and prospered as a town. However, one night, everyone in the village disappeared overnight. Several disciples sent by the Four Regulations have gone to investigate but have returned without finding anything."
"Once you figure out the reason for the people's disappearance in that land and eliminate its root cause, you will pass the test."
"Or, there is another thing. The Jinyang you come from has been filled with pollution recently, and even a Pestilence Ghost has appeared. However, he has no trace, and Jinyang is supervising Han Caidao. They are all waiting in full concentration. You can choose to help Han Caidao do some small things. If you can find the Pestilence Ghost, you can also pass the test."
Mingjing Zhenren's tone is decisive.
My face changed slightly.
The former seems to have no problems, with the risk coefficient being basically non-existent. However, the second thing is actually related to Jinyang and the Pestilence Ghost?
The news about Jinyang has indeed been blocked, but Han Zai Zi couldn't have kept it a secret from the Four Regulations Mountain.
Putting these two things together means that the risk coefficients are almost equal.
No, it's not just that.
Not only that. The former might be more dangerous, because Mingjing Zhenren deliberately mentioned something that seemed more perilous to make me choose it?
He Youyan furrowed his brow and looked at Mingjing Zhenren with slight dissatisfaction.
But he didn't say much.
To be honest, I'm more familiar with Jinyang.
If I deal with the pestilence ghost, it will be a big reduction in the hidden troubles for me.
From Mingjing Zhenren's attitude, it seems that once the location of the pestilence ghost is found, they will take action.
But I understand the terrifying nature of the pestilence ghost better...
Anything related to it, if possible, I would never want to get involved in.
"If, the Shenshen cousin wants to return to Jinyang, I can accompany him." At this moment, Sun Zhuo stepped forward. He cupped his hands together and bowed to Mingjing Zhenren, then nodded to He Youyan as a sign of respect, observing all the proper rituals.
"The misunderstanding between Xian Shen and I is that the pestilence ghost matter is of great importance, and even if I accompany you, we can still find it. This will fully demonstrate the power of Xian Shen."
"Even if I fail to him in the future, I will have no regrets." Sun Zhuo spoke with sincerity.
I maintained a indifferent expression, showing no emotion.
Is Sun Zhuo being so kind?
It's just that he can keep an eye on me.
If I go to Jinyang, I could be attacked by the Tienshou Temple and the Ghost Crib at any moment. Even if I notify Mao You San to take in Sun Zhuo, there might not be enough time.
Mingjing Zhenren has his hands behind his back and slightly nods, showing satisfaction and recognition towards Sun Zhuo.
"I will go to that village." I did not hesitate and spoke up.
Sun Zhuo was taken aback.
Mingjing Zhenren faces He Youyan and seems to be waiting for his reaction and answer.
He Youyan slightly closed his eyes, and he didn't say anything.
After a few seconds, Mingjing Zhenren nodded and said, "Since that's the case, Young Master, after you go to the Leishen Cliff and put down the female yuzi, return to the main hall."
"Seventh Elder, you can go with them as well."
A long elder walked out, with slightly white hair and a face that was not very old, like a woman in her fifties. The other elders were at least sixty years old, she was ranked seventh, so she should be quite old, but well-preserved?
The Seventh Elder's gaze at me was subtly tinged with scrutiny and disapproval.
Among all the elders, she may have the greatest opinion of me.
She turned around and walked out.
I followed her out of the Yuqing Hall.
After descending a layer of stilt walkway, at the junction of the Leishen Cliff, the Seventh Elder let me take the lead.
In the moment I passed by her.
She suddenly reached out and grabbed my shoulder!
There, it was indeed the strap of Lao Gong's bag hanging there!
I reacted quickly, without hesitation, I leapt backwards and jumped down to the right side of the stilt walkway!
