Chapter 509: Not Following the Script
"Several true monarchs, and fellow comrades! I came here immediately after I got the news, but I encountered some things on the way that delayed the time and made you wait for a long time. Please forgive me."
Ye Zan, who returned to the rail transit construction site, after seeing the three leading Yuanshen Da Neng and representatives of other sects, did not aggressively question them about blocking the construction. Instead, he explained politely A reason for being late.
However, Ye Zan's performance made the three primordial spirits of the three sects so powerful that they couldn't help feeling guilty for a while. What they did, they naturally wouldn't be unclear in their hearts. Seeing Ye Zan appearing in front of them unscathed, it was like seeing a ghost.
Especially Lanfeng Zhenjun among the three primordial gods, his eyes seemed uncontrollable, and he always glanced at Ye Zan's "steamed egg" from time to time.
If it wasn't for the presence of "Braised Eggs", they might still think that Ye Zan probably escaped the ambush by luck. But since "Braised Egg" is already here, it means that Ye Zan must have met the ambushers as they planned. However, they really couldn't figure out how Ye Zan and the others managed to break through the ambush of the three demon primordial spirits, and what happened in between!
But no matter what, since Ye Zan had already appeared here, it obviously meant that the ambush plan had failed.
However, if Ye Zan didn't mention it here, Master Lanfeng and others couldn't take the initiative to ask, otherwise it would be self-inflicted. On the other hand, Zhenjun Lanfeng, besides being surprised, could not help but feel a little more worried in his eyes, worried that his younger brother would be in danger in Ye Zan's hands.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you are welcome. I am also worried about the spiritual veins of the sect, so I have to bother you to come and discuss this matter." The one who spoke to Ye Zan on behalf of everyone here was the True Monarch Qianyuan of Fenglingzong, but his tone On the contrary, he was much more polite than before to Cheng Liangqi and others.
Although, Ye Zan is just an ancestor of Yuanying, and these few sects have nothing to do with Yuqingzong, so there is no need to rank them according to Yuqingzong's seniority. However, Ye Zan is also the younger brother of Yuanshen Almighty Mo Rushi, and at the same time he is in charge of the construction of this rail transit, so Qianyuan Zhenjun can only be called a Taoist friend.
Of course, the root cause is that Qianyuan Zhenjun and others do not have enough confidence to put on airs and act like domineering. After all, no matter what went wrong with the plan, Ye Zan now has two big demon kings, the wolf king and the ape king, and their strength is not something they can underestimate.
Although these three primordial spirits are definitely much stronger than parallel imports like "Marinated Eggs", at least they have more experience in using their own power. But in essence, they did not cultivate to the primordial spirit step by step by themselves, and they also got to this point with the help of parallel imports. Therefore, if compared with the real primordial spirit, the three of them are still far behind.
Moreover, they didn't know what went wrong with this plan. If it is said that Ye Zan has passed the level of the three primordial gods of the Demon Dao with only one wolf king, then the strength of this wolf king is too terrifying. Or, if the three primordial spirits of Mo Dao had a deal with Ye Zan, they would let Ye Zan come over without making a move, but that would be even more terrifying.
"Oh, Master Cheng and everyone's worries, Elder Cheng has told me through thousands of miles of sound transmission. I can understand your worries, so the main purpose of coming here this time is...to let them pack their things and prepare to call it a day. "Ye Zan said calmly.
"Actually, I'm waiting... what? Daoist Ye said..." Zhenjun Qianyuan was about to explain something, but suddenly realized the meaning of Ye Zan's words. What to say.
Moreover, Zhenjun Qianyuan was not the only one who was surprised by Ye Zan's words.
The other two primordial gods and representatives of various sects also stood there in disbelief at the same time.
In fact, the reason Qianyuan Zhenjun and others used this excuse to stop Cheng Liangqi and others' construction this time was to lure Ye Zan out of Shengjing City. But now, no matter what the reason was, the ambush they arranged had obviously failed, so they had no reason to stop Cheng Liangqi and others from constructing.
Therefore, True Monarch Qianyuan's original intention was to persuade Ye Zan a few more words, and he would go down after finding a step on his side. Anyway, the ambush failed, and as representatives of various sects, they still had to consider the interests of their own sects.
After all, this rail transit is indeed of great benefit to the world. Even if they are cultivators, it's not that they really can't use it at all, at least those disciples who are below the golden core, it is impossible for all of them to use the imperial sword to fly into the air to hurry. Moreover, if the construction of the rail transit is suspended here because of the obstruction of these sects, then the reputation of their sects in the secular world will be over.
But no one expected that Ye Zan would not follow their script and would give up the next project and go home. In this way, the rest of the area will not be open to traffic, and they will be responsible for all the crimes.
I am afraid of comparison in everything. If everyone has this benefit, or if everyone does not, then nothing will happen. However, if only you have it and I don't, then resentment can easily arise. As far as the rail transit is concerned, this line is the only one left in the territory of Dajin Kingdom. All other state capitals can enjoy the convenience of rail transit, but the state capitals on this line cannot enjoy it. In this way, I'm afraid it won't be long before these sects that once blocked the construction of rail transit will fall into endless resentment.
The sect of cultivating Taoism claims to be secluded from the world, but in fact, among the things that exist in the world, there is nothing that truly transcends everything and exists alone.
Although these cultivators always regard the secular mortals as ants, no matter how resentful the mortals are, it is indeed impossible to cause direct harm to the cultivating sect. However, the disciples of the cultivating sect originally came from the secular world. If a sect has a poor reputation in the secular world, who would want to worship such a sect? Even those who have already joined the sect and dare not rebel against the sect's rules, but if they always have to be cast aside by ordinary people, will their Taoism be affected?
Of course, Qianyuan Zhenjun and others care about the influence of their respective sects, but it is because they have no determination in their hearts to abandon their sects and serve the mysterious forces. This is actually not surprising at all. Look at Peng Gong of the Wuzhu faction. Although he was promoted to the power of the primordial spirit with the help of mysterious forces, he must not be willing to give up the Wuzhu faction for the sake of mysterious forces.
As for the mysterious forces, obviously they don't have too strict constraints on them, and it seems that they just let them do things for themselves, which seems to be a bit of mutual use. For example, Lanfeng Zhenjun of the Lingji Sect once said that they used to collect magic weapons for mysterious forces, and most of the magic weapons used by parallel importers who came out to perform tasks were collected by them.
Therefore, in the face of the possible adverse effects on the sect caused by the suspension of rail transit construction, Zhenjun Qianyuan and the others panicked.
Ye Zan's eyes swept over everyone's faces, taking in all their expressions, then smiled lightly and said, "Since Zhenjun didn't hear clearly, I'll say it again. Anyway, in the territory of Dajin Kingdom, there are plans to This is the only rail transit line left, and I don't want to waste too much time and energy here. After all, there are still a lot of projects waiting to be done in other countries. Since you are worried about the impact of the spiritual veins, there is nothing I can do Guaranteed, if it will really affect the spiritual veins after thousands of years, then I have to give up this route first. Although doing so, I am a little ashamed of the King of the Great Jin Kingdom, but the King must also understand our difficulties .”
A very common and valid reason for preventing the development of a new thing is to require proof that it is absolutely harmless. This "absolutely harmless" is a big killer, and it can be extended indefinitely until you can't prove that it is absolutely harmless.
Just like the world of science and technology, when genetically modified foods first appeared, one of the reasons used by many opponents was to demand proof that genetically modified foods are absolutely harmless. When science proves that it is harmless to those who eat it, opponents demand proof that it is also harmless to future generations. If it can be proved that it is harmless to the next generation, then the opponents will ask whether it can be proved that it will be harmless to the next generation, even after ten or a hundred generations. For example, some opponents believe that genetically modified foods will gradually change people's genes, and after ten or a hundred generations or more, people may cease to be human.
There are also some opponents who attribute some diseases to the consumption of genetically modified foods. It seems that human beings have never suffered from those diseases before genetically modified foods. When science proves that the occurrence of those diseases is not absolutely related to genetically modified foods, opponents will say that even if there is a one-thousandth possibility, it cannot prove absolutely harmless.
As for the matter of Lingmai, as Ye Zan said, if only the current impact is proved, it is certain that digging tunnels will not affect Lingmai. However, if he were to prove whether the tunnel would have a bad effect on the spirit veins after thousands of years, there was really no way to prove it.
Of course, such words were originally said by Zhenjun Qianyuan and others when they came to stop the construction of rail transit. Now that Ye Zan said this again, it can be regarded as repaying him with his own way, and it is also similar to a disclaimer.
Ye Zan could naturally see that after the ambush failed, the opponent definitely didn't want to stop the construction of the rail transit. However, why do you stop it if you want to, and continue if you want to continue, there is no such good thing in the world. If he gave the other party a step down this time, then if anything goes wrong with these sects in the future, wouldn't it all be blamed on Yu Qingzong, and even those sects in other countries might follow suit.
Therefore, in order to prevent future troubles, Ye Zan simply came up with such a "disclaimer". Anyway, this is the only route, and Ye Zan doesn't necessarily have to complete the construction, at worst, everyone will just break up.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, we didn't intend to make things difficult, but this matter is related to the future of our sect, so we have to be very careful." Zhenjun Qianyuan explained in embarrassment.
"Zhenjun doesn't need to say any more, I know everyone's worries, so isn't it time to call it a day?" Ye Zan said sincerely, as if he was really thinking about the other party.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, I don't want to stop the matter of rail transit, but I just want to discuss it with fellow Daoists so that we can come up with a solution that can make everyone feel at ease." Finally couldn't help but said.
However, Ye Zan waved his hand and said very simply: "Three True Monarchs, and fellow Taoists, I don't need to talk about this matter anymore, isn't this the best way to make everyone feel at ease? I have another matter, I want to ask the three of you, especially True Monarch Lanfeng."
On Ye Zan's side, he put on a posture that he didn't want to talk any more, which immediately prevented everyone on the opposite side from talking about this matter. And when I heard that Ye Zan wanted to talk about another matter, although Ye Zan didn't explain it, the three primordial spirits had already vaguely guessed what they were going to talk about, but this other matter seemed to be more embarrassing.
True Monarch Lanfeng was named by Ye Zan, and he couldn't help but glance over Ye Zan's "steamed egg", and then coughed lightly, making a bewildered expression, and asked : "Ye Daoyou, speaking of it, it's the first time we've met, I don't know what else you have to do with us?"
"Hehe," Ye Zan laughed a little weirdly, looked at Zhenjun Lanfeng with a bit of sarcasm, pointed to the "salted egg" beside him and said, "I don't know if Zhenjun Lanfeng recognizes this person?"
The corner of Lanfeng Zhenjun's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at the "stewed egg" pretending to be curious, and then shook his head after a while and said: "I'm afraid I will disappoint Fellow Daoist Ye. From the bottom of my eyes, this person is quite unfamiliar. Have a question?"
In fact, although Master Lanfeng denied it, he knew in his heart that Ye Zan probably knew something. It's just that people are like this, they always have some luck, even if sometimes the facts are in front of them, they still want to pretend that they can't see anything.
"Oh, that's it, then it's useless to keep him." Ye Zan nodded, as if he really believed the other party's words, then turned his head and said to the wolf king: "Senior, let this guy be handled by senior."
Hearing Ye Zan's words, the wolf king suddenly showed a smirk, his exposed teeth seemed to shine brightly instantly, and said, "Elder Ye, don't worry, I will leave this person to the old man."
After saying this, the wolf king stood up, stretched out his hand and picked up the "marinated egg", then turned around as if he was about to leave.
And that "Brained Egg" panicked, wanted to struggle but couldn't break free from the wolf king's grasp, so he turned his head back with all his strength, and shouted at Zhenjun Lanfeng: "Brother, save me, brother, save me! Elder Ye, what I say below is true, true!"
