Chapter 1311: Human Heart Is Hard to Predict
Of course, Xiao Hua had already left Zhongling Villa at this time. He didn't know what Zhong Tianyao had done. Xiao Hua thought it was good that the Zhong family and the Qin family could divide the Fei family equally. But how could he know that Zhong Tianyao's strategy was far beyond his guess, and even far exceeded his estimate!
Since the Zhong family's strength has greatly increased, the Zhong family will naturally strengthen its control over the Fei family and half of the Qin family, so many disciples of the Zhong family have been sent out!
Zhong Haoran couldn't speak and was regarded as a mute, but he was a disciple of the twelfth level of Qi Refining after all. He was also sent to a place in the Qin family to guard. Zhong Zhan, Zhong Pei and Qin Ji were his disciples in the place of duty!
Although Zhong Haoran was emotionally discouraged and ridiculed by many brothers and sisters, even after he came to the Qin family to guard, occasionally some disciples who had gained power would laugh at him for his feelings for Zhong Peihan. But Zhong Haoran didn't care, but his heart of cultivation became more and more firm! His mind was also becoming clearer.
The Qin family, like the Fei family, was born from the art of refining. They also had some cultivation techniques. After being annexed by the Zhong family, these techniques naturally flowed into the Zhong family!
However, the Zhong family's direct and accomplished disciples did not value these foreign techniques, so Zhong Tianyao ordered the disciples on duty at the Qin and Fei families to choose the techniques they liked to practice! And where Zhong Haoran was on duty, there happened to be a method for practicing flying swords, and he even found a flying sword of good quality at the Qin family!
As soon as Zhong Haoran saw the flying sword and consulted the sword formula, he was immediately attracted by the sharp and upright sword energy of the flying sword. In addition, his cultivation was slow to improve. So he tried to practice the art of flying swords!
Who knew that Zhong Haoran's character was just suitable for flying swords. Under the impact of the sharp true qi with sword energy day and night, Xiao Hua's acupuncture points that sealed him were actually loosened. When the earth crystal Yaoru was integrated into his true qi, that is, when he built his foundation, Zhong Haoran not only built his foundation easily, but was even able to speak again!
How could Zhong Haoran not know that this was Xiao Hua's painstaking effort at that time? He had no complaints before, and he respected Xiao Hua even more afterwards, although he had not reached the level of daily worship like Fei Yunshu. But every time he thought of this, he was grateful in his heart!
Zhong Zhan and Zhong Pei were also Zhong family disciples who began to stand out after the Qin family. Because they were not valued in Zhongling Villa earlier, they were very close to Zhong Haoran. After Zhong Haoran built his foundation, he paid more attention to his instructions. Although he could not be regarded as a master. But he was better than a master.
As for Qin Ji, because he originally practiced flying swords, although his cultivation was not satisfactory, he had been practicing since he was a child. Sometimes Zhong Haoran even had to ask him.
When the Taoist war began, the Zhong family in Yuncheng was not a big family. Although Zhong Tianyao is a Jindan cultivator, he is not in the eyes of those cultivation sects, and they have never drawn disciples from their families.
However,
Zhong Tianyao saw the opportunity of the war and knew that he could train disciples in the war. Not only can he improve his cultivation, but he can also discover disciples with strategic talents. In his opinion, disciples with strategic vision are more useful than disciples with high cultivation. After all, he took down the Qin family and the Fei family mostly by his planning, not by force!
Of course, Zhong Tianyao still has the same thoughts as other disciples who have not participated in the war. Participating in the Taoist war and attacking those lone swordsmen, not only have spirit stones and sword tactics, but also flying swords, magic tools and other things, which is really killing two birds with one stone! In this regard, Zhong Tianyao is even more urgent than those disciples of the cultivation sects who have not participated in the war. What supports a family and a sect is not only disciples, but also skills! If the Zhong family gets more systematic skills in the sword cultivation war, the Zhong family may break away from the ranks of the aristocratic families and become a cultivation sect!
And wasn't his annexation of the Fei and Qin families the most crucial half step?
So, Zhong Tianyao selected disciples to go to Huan Country to participate in the sword cultivation war!
In order to control the Fei and Qin families, the Zhong family dispatched their own disciples to Huan Country, and Fei Yunshu was also among them!
There are also thousands of disciples in Zhongling Villa, similar to the structure of the cultivation sects, with dozens of people in a team, each team led by a foundation-building disciple, and assisted by a disciple with a slightly lower cultivation.
Zhong Haoran brought Zhong Zhan, Zhong Pei and Qin Ji to a team. The captain of this team was a foundation-building disciple named Zhong Jingke in the middle stage! In theory, Zhong Haoran was in the early stage of foundation building, and it was this Zhong Jingke who complemented each other and cooperated well. However, when Zhong Haoran saw Zhong Jingke, he was extremely embarrassed!
Why? It's very simple, Zhong Jingke is Zhong Peihan's dual cultivation partner!
Since Zhong Peihan set foot on the foundation building, with the support of the meridians repaired by the Bu Tian Dan, her cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. She has long become a fairy in the eyes of the Zhong family's male foundation building cultivators. Zhong Jingke also used endless means to catch up with Zhong Peihan. This is normal, but Zhong Peihan accidentally revealed some of Zhong Haoran's affairs. Although Xiao Hua was not mentioned, the apology and gratitude to Zhong Haoran could not be concealed. If Zhong Jingke was a generous person, it would be fine. Zhong Jingke is quite scheming and narrow-minded. Seeing the followers of his former lover, who have made great progress in cultivation, he has long been dissatisfied. So, the ugliness in human nature is revealed. First, he wanted to isolate Zhong Haoran. When there were four Qi-refining disciples with flying swords, Zhong Zhan, Zhong Pei, Qin Ji and Fei Yunshu, following Zhong Haoran, he isolated these five people and divided a team of more than ten people into two!
Not to mention, in the more than two years since he came to the battlefield of the monastic war, Zhong Jingke always put Zhong Haoran and the other five people in danger and asked them to complete almost impossible tasks. After each task was completed, he would take the credit. Own it for yourself. Zhongling Villa sends disciples every six months to exchange messages and reward and punish everyone. However, Zhong Jingke gets all the credit for the team's achievements, and Zhong Haoran doesn't get half of it!
How could Zhong Haoran endure such a coward? Although he is an upright person and has a moderate personality, after practicing the flying sword, he was also influenced by the flying sword technique that he would rather break than bend, and he had already turned a cold shoulder towards Zhong Jingke. If it weren't for the extremely strict rules of Zhongling Villa, he would not be able to do anything on the battlefield. Everything is decided by the captain, and he may have returned to Zhongling Villa long ago.
Zhong Haoran's reaction was naturally seen in Zhong Jingke's eyes. Zhong Jingke was secretly happy. Two months ago, Zhong Jingke sent Zhong Haoran to intercept and kill dozens of pregnant swordsmen, which completely made Zhong Haoran fall out!
"Those are thirteen swordsmen of the sixth level of the Pregnant Sword!" Zhong Haoran gritted his teeth and said, "Although the young one is in the early stage of foundation construction, it is no problem to fight against five sixth-level swordsmen of the Pregnant Sword, but those eight Pregnant Sword Where are the swordsmen? How can Zhong Zhan and the others deal with this situation? Therefore, I immediately objected and suggested that the entire team of 23 Zhong family disciples should go out together!"
"However, that guy Zhong Jingke actually said that he had other arrangements for other disciples and had more important tasks! If Xiao Xiao doesn't intercept and kill him, he just disobeys the captain's order and delays the matter... Xiao Xiao will be responsible for it himself! "
"Hehe, it's wrong for you to go, and it's wrong not to go. Of course, you can't go!" Xiao Hua said with a smile, "If you go, firstly, you will die! Secondly, if you come back alive, he He will also ask three questions to help you escape from the hands of thirteen swordsmen of the sixth level, and even say that you were captured by the swordsmen and became the swordsmen's masterpiece!"
"I didn't think so much at the time. I just knew that I couldn't be the opponent of those swordsmen, and I would have to die if I went there!" Zhong Haoran answered honestly, "I fell out with him! I won't go!" !”
"Well, actually you might as well go!" Xiao Hua said again, "After you go, avoid fighting and let them make a fuss about you? It's better than falling into his scheme all of a sudden! This Zhong Jingke... is a scheming and cautious person. He just wants to expel you from the Zhong family so that Zhong Peihan can have peace of mind! "
"It's a pity that I didn't understand it clearly at the time! It wasn't until half a month after this time that Senior Brother Zhongling Villa came to inspect. This guy took the opportunity to report the matter to Senior Brother Law Enforcement, and listed several crimes against Xiao at once, such as disobeying orders, Delaying the opportunity to fight, affecting morale, etc., please ask Brother Law Enforcement to expel Xiao from the Zhong family!" Zhong Haoran said angrily, "It wasn't until that moment that Xiao Xiao understood the dangers of the human heart!"
"Hahaha, of course!" Xiao Hua raised his hand and said, "The most dangerous thing in the world is the human heart! The most fickle thing is the human heart! The most unpredictable thing is still the human heart! After you have experienced all this, you finally understand !”
"Yes, this disciple has been thinking clearly these days!" Zhong Haoran said with relief, "It's not that Zhong Jingke doesn't have the means to kill Xiao Xiao, nor does he have the opportunity to kill Xiao Xiao, but he is extremely cautious and does not act rashly; he He has been irritating Xiao for the past few years, fearing that he would want Xiao to take action first, so that he could take advantage of him! When Xiao didn't go along with what he wanted, he would settle for the second best and expel Xiao from Zhong. Home!"
"Well, maybe his original goal was to drive you away! So that his wife can practice in peace!" Xiao Hua nodded, "After all, it is more risky for him to kill you, and it will also damage the Taoist heart, which is not worth it. !”
"The human heart!" Zhong Haoran sighed, "How good would it be if it were a little purer?"
"Hahaha~ That's not the human heart!" Xiao Hua said, "And... without such a fickle and sinister human heart, where would the current Zhong Haoran be?"
Zhong Haoran shook his head sadly and said: "It's just that I was expelled from the Zhong family. Zhong Zhan and others were also affected. I feel very guilty!"
"Uncle Zhong!" Fei Yunshu and others said respectfully, "Uncle Zhong has a noble character that we respect, and it is our choice to follow him! What the real person said just now is absolutely true, if we don't follow uncle If you list the portals, you may not be able to save your life in the war." (To be continued.
