" I have been flipping through books and hardly seen any elders. Only when I returned did I meet with the eldest brother. The personnel in Four Rule Mountain is not as many as other Daoist temples. Now, I need to find Ji Kui, Mao San, and be vigilant about the hidden variables. Be careful that the eighth house line will storm the door, which is normal since the mountain gate is empty."
I shook my head and said, "Grandmaster, if you are looking for someone to serve you, I can arrange it."
"At least in my knowledge, Zheng Ren Zhenren had only one disciple, Sun Zhuo was by his side."
"Eldest brother never wanted to have a disciple as a servant, and neither did the elders."
My words can be considered as an explanation.
For a moment, Han Jun did not answer.
He still quietly looks at the statue.
"Is that so? Are you sure it's not that you're distancing yourself from me? That you think there's no benefit in associating with this old fellow?" Han Jin questioned.
There was a moment of silence before I said, "Are you the true master of Four Rule Mountain, or the true master who woke up from Xuji? For Four Rule Mountain, it cannot be without you. Moreover, Grandmaster, do you not think that you have been thinking too much?"
"After all, your status is different; to the elders, it's too high, and how can they possibly approach you?"
Another silence lasted for several minutes.
Han Jin suddenly burst into laughter, very loud, shaking the tiles light tremors.
"Grandmaster, you don't need to doubt the level of Four Rule Mountain's importance to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have pursued you back then. Cognitive differences can be resolved, but the people of Four Rule Mountain are just the people of Four Rule Mountain. They cannot be killed by others. This is something I hold firm to, and it's also the teaching passed down to me by the eldest brother."
"Any one of the elders can absolutely abide by this point."
My words were to tell Han Jin about the situation that day.
I know he would die.
Therefore, I've come.
"You have therefore offended Mao San completely, and you are out."
Han Jin said softly.
"That's not the key issue, being excluded is also what he calculated," I said.
"Does he ever fail to calculate?" Han Jin's voice was very cold.
"I lost a hexagram to another of my elders," I replied.
In fact, I also think there is room for discussion about this point.
Will Mao San really lose to the old Qin head?
The old Qin head is truly dead now, and no matter how I think about it, I don't think the old Qin head could have won.
But when I think about it, the arrangements and actions of the old Qin head, as well as the related Ding Ruihe, are now higher than Mao San.
But the old Qin head's karma was not enough, causing his soul to become a true insect.
If not for that, could he also have emerged as a shadow spirit, or even a yang spirit?
By following his predetermined arrangements, have I also reached this point?
Even possibly, it could have absorbed everything from Ju Qu Mountain?
"Have you ever lost..." Han Jin murmured.
"If he has lost, that would be much better. I'm afraid he hasn't lost, and I have a deep respect for him. I really want to kill him," Han Jin stood up and turned around.
"Four Rule Mountain is too slow. You are too slow, and you cannot find Mao San at all," Han Jin said with a hint of coldness.
"Master has made up his mind to hide away. How can he be found? If it were easy to find him, Wu Ling would have been a prisoner long ago," I shook my head to refute.
I have respect for Han Jin, which is out of respect for our lineage.
I also stood on the side of "reason" in relation to the matter and did not back down.
"Does he have an interest in anything else?" Han Jin's words were clearly intended to lure the snake out of its hole.
"Other than the corpse, but now he has enough." I shook my head again.
There was a muffled bang, and the cushion next to Han Jin exploded. The cotton wool inside scattered in the air.
"A bunch of..."
This is obviously Han Jin's evaluation of the people of Four Rule Mountain.
However, the sentence was cut off before it was finished.
"You have to find a way, otherwise, if he kills Wu Ling, my plan will not succeed, and the White bloodline will be cut off!" Han Jin spoke with certainty.
My heart convulsed sharply.
In fact, isn't that just what we need?
If Wu Ling died directly, the danger of Four Rule Mountain would be automatically dispelled.
Han Qiu would not be forced, and the silk would not be forced either. So I will not tear my face off with Han Jin.
The only thing is, Mao San's behavior is unpredictable.
"The people of Iron Crest Mountain spoiled our situation that day. If it weren't for the Iron Crest Mountain Master's sneak attack behind me, I would have been able to restrain them. You would have opened the altar and attracted thunderbolts to crush them. I wouldn't have died, and they wouldn't have either. If the senior and junior elders were killed, the eight houses would not have been able to do much."
Han Jin's mood suddenly became mischievous again. He spoke about the incident that day without any warning.
Afterward, he mentioned another statement: "If you can't find Mao San, and neither can you find Ji Kui, Four Rule Mountain is not as strong as it used to be."
After saying that, Han Jin turned around again. He waved his hand, looking extremely melancholic and desolate.
"Grandmaster, do not fall into a misunderstanding."
"Everyone in Four Rule Mountain, everyone now, has not made a mistake. The reason it's not as strong as before is because the White family has been extinguished. You have only concluded the past matters and have not made more compensation for the mountain gate. If you truly think that Four Rule Mountain is not as strong as before, then you should do some of the things I consider to be proper matters."
"For example, by sharing your understanding of the true person without reservation with the elders, disciples, and the eldest brother feels that one person's cultivation will affect the elders and disciples' future cultivation. But your cultivation plus his, along with Si Yan's and what Zheng Ren did before, is an opportunity for the disciples to improve their strength. It is not that you sit here while everyone else is busy."
"Nobody would dare to come to you and ask you to impart Daoist arts and heart law."
My statement first implicated Han Jin's fault and then pointed out what he could do.
Han Jin's mischievousness is just mischievousness. He has not changed the basic situation of Four Rule Mountain.
For a moment, Han Jin's breathing became very heavy.
"If there is nothing else, the disciple will withdraw first," I bowed and clasped my hands together.
Han Jin had no reaction, and I slowly withdrew.
After leaving the Shenguan Hall, I didn't walk far before I met He Youtian. He was standing in the middle of the road waiting for me.
"Eldest brother," I smiled on my face.
"Has he not troubled you?" He Youtian asked me.
I concisely and succinctly narrated the events that had just occurred.
It is obvious that He Youtian knew I was coming, which is why he came here to wait for me. He still has doubts about Han Jin.
"Your words are true. If he can understand it, it indeed would be good for Four Rule Mountain. My cultivation as a true person is entirely self-taught. Perhaps, some people's cultivation in a lifetime is right there, and the elders could eat as much Tian Gongquan as they want."
"But it cannot be eaten in advance, otherwise it will be like you, and you will be restricted here for a long time."
He Youtian heaved a slight sigh.
"I'm fine, Elder Brother. I have a feeling that the longer the restrictions are, the deeper the bottleneck will be. The moment it is broken may bring me greater benefits." I explained.
"Haha, you are quite adept at comforting your elder brother."
"There's one thing Grandmaster said that was indeed correct, the Iron Crest Mountain people came at the wrong time; otherwise, you guys would definitely have been able to kill those two."
"What's even more crucial is that he broke your breakthrough." He Youtian reached out and touched my head.
"It's okay, this is fate. Good things come slowly." I still smiled.
"You are indeed open-minded. That's right; if you get stuck in this emotional state, you won't be able to have another breakthrough and will end your life here. " He Youtian nodded and continued, "As for Mao San's matter, there's currently no information. Ji Kui has also disappeared without a trace, no one knows where he has gone. But the Gu Qiang City people approached us and mentioned you, hoping that you would go there with Old Gong, as well as the head of the Dingxian Temple, Wu Jinlan."
My heart slightly jumped.
"Gu Qiang City, do they have any problems? Can I be of any help?"
I actually feel rather surprised.
The strength of Gu Qiang City is extremely powerful.
The third elder Liu Taoyin is a true person, and the second elder Liu Yujie and the senior elder Liu Zhengqi are even more so.
Under normal circumstances, even ten of me wouldn't be much help to them.
"The one who contacted us is a disciple called Liu Ziyu. It means that there have been frequent tomb thefts in Gu Qiang City recently. You know, your Luo family had never ventured into Gu Qiang City before. Moreover, the master of Gu Qiang City was secretly assassinated. This matter is confidential, and you cannot disclose it to anyone. You can only tell Wu Jinlan."
"Gu Qiang City is a special existence. It once had a formidable divination master as a friend. However, Gu Qiang City is composed of two bloodlines: one is Dao, and the other is Fengshui." He Youtian explained.
I changed color slightly.
Fengshui Dao? Then it must be related to the eight residences, right?
"I know you are thinking about the Eight House lineage, but it's different. The Liu family is upright, and their Qiang tribe is the same. They are mutually dependent and protected existences."
"The murder of the master is a major event, no less serious than if I were killed." He Youtian's words directly escalated the seriousness of the situation by several levels!
"The matter cannot be revealed to the public and the Gu Qiang City will also face issues related to Fengshui, as Fengshui lineage is responsible for suppressing certain things."
"The rest, Liu Ziyu didn't elaborate on. He hopes you will go there quickly, as a request from Gu Qiang City and also as a favor." He Youtian said seriously.
"I nodded, ready to find Wu Jinlan and immediately set off for the mountain."
"I plan to have Si Yan follow you, and you should be careful. I always feel that this might be related to Wu Ling. Mao San hasn't said much about them, but they do have their eyes on corpses, right? Wu Ling might not dare to come directly to Four Rule Mountain, as we have the Corpse Solution True Person here, and we're heavily guarded against him. He doesn't have much hope in Juxu Mountain, so he went after the more scattered Gu Qiang City?" He Youtian reminded me again.
My pupils contracted slightly, and I murmured, "In that case, they are not just a step behind Mao San; it's not impossible."
After saying that, my heart was beating rapidly.
And I had another idea. If it was like that, it would definitely not be a good thing.
