Chapter 175 Delay Will Lead to Changes
"Will you be loyal to the Tiandao Palace? Please answer with yes or no." After the first question, the Internal Affairs Elder asked the second question.
"Yes." The answer of the magical Taoist this time was quite standard, nothing special.
Then, the Internal Affairs Elder asked the last question: "Under what circumstances would you betray the Tiandao Palace?"
The magical Taoist subconsciously thought for a moment and said, "I will never betray the Tiandao Palace under any circumstances!"
Hearing this answer, all the monks were stunned. If they heard this on weekdays, they would just laugh it off. After all, who wouldn't say loyalty? But the key is that this is the heart-searching stage, which goes straight to the bottom of people's hearts without any disguise. The magical Taoist said that he would never betray the Tiandao Palace under any circumstances, which means he really would not betray the Tiandao Palace, not now and not in the future.
Moreover, for the third question of the heart-searching stage, everyone will assume a condition of betraying the sect, even the head of the sect is no exception, so there will never be a perfect answer, but the answer of the magical Taoist is perfect.
Elder Dingyuan stroked his beard and praised him endlessly. He really found a treasure. Moreover, the perfect performance of the magical Taoist in the entrance test made him, the introducer, very proud and crushed the White Eyebrow Patriarch.
The White Eyebrow Patriarch's face was uncertain. People have desires, and desires will lead to the possibility of betrayal, unless they are an idiot without desires. However, the magical Taoist has an extraordinary heart and is obviously not an idiot, so he doubted the last answer of the magical Taoist.
When the internal affairs elder was about to withdraw his divine thoughts, the White Eyebrow Patriarch said, "Wait a minute, I doubt the questioning of the magical Taoist and want to ask one more question."
Since the questioning link is public, it is natural to have the right to raise doubts. Although the answer of the magical Taoist is perfect, the question is too perfect, which is indeed unconvincing, but others dare not raise it. So when they heard the White Eyebrow Patriarch's doubts, the other cultivators nodded one after another.
Elder Dingyuan was furious: "White-browed Ancestor, what do you mean? The magical Taoist has passed the heart-searching stage and is loyal and devoted. What is there to question?"
"Elder Dingyuan, I can understand that you are eager to love talents, but don't you think that the magical Taoist's answer in the heart-searching stage is too perfect and too incredible?" White-browed Ancestor paused, "Besides, a person with a clear conscience is not afraid of his own shadow. What's wrong with me asking one more question? But you, Elder Dingyuan, repeatedly blocked him. Is there really something fishy?"
The old man is very clever. This White-browed Ancestor is obviously such a person. After a set of Tai Chi, he pushed the responsibility onto Elder Dingyuan.
If Elder Dingyuan blocked him again, he might really be criticized. He pondered for a moment: "Okay, ask if you want to, but after you ask, this elder will investigate your crime of exceeding your authority!" The entrance examination is in charge of the Internal Affairs Hall, and it is not the turn of White-browed Ancestor to intervene. The Law Enforcement Hall is in charge of the sect rules, but it can take this opportunity to disgust the Weapon Refining Hall. Besides, Elder Dingyuan believed in the magical Taoist, so it didn't matter how many questions he asked.
Elder Dingyuan and White-browed Patriarch were not easy to deal with. After a long game, Zhang Ye's ego consciousness saw it and was anxious. The time of one stick of incense was almost up. Don't waste your time. Do what you want to do as soon as possible.
Finally, White-browed Patriarch pretended to be righteous and said, "For the safety of the sect, what's wrong with me breaking the rules once?!"
Relying on his status and position, White-browed Patriarch immediately said to the Internal Affairs Elder, "I only have one question. Please help me ask the magical Taoist, if Elder Dingyuan betrays the sect one day, what will he do?"
I thought White-browed Patriarch had a way to expose the magical Taoist's lies, but I never thought that it was just to erase the magical Taoist's perfect answer. Come to think of it, there can be no lies in the heart.
You know, in the first answer of the questioning session, the magical Taoist expressed his respect and loyalty to Elder Dingyuan. In the second answer, the magical Taoist showed his loyalty to the sect. So, if there is a conflict between Elder Dingyuan and the sect, who should the magical Taoist choose to be loyal to?
If the magical Taoist chooses to be loyal to the sect, he will offend Elder Dingyuan. If the magical Taoist chooses to be loyal to Elder Dingyuan, then his perfect answer will be tainted and it is impossible to get a Class A assessment.
It must be said that the White Eyebrow Ancestor is old and hot. The monks understand the key and can't help but feel sorry for the magical Taoist.
Elder Dingyuan was furious. Why did he drag Laozi into it? But he didn't say anything. After all, he had acquiesced to the White Eyebrow Ancestor's question before. After the entrance test, he grabbed this handle and strictly enforced the sect rules. He was not afraid of making things worse and must retaliate. Of course, Elder Dingyuan was actually a little curious. He didn't know who the magical Taoist would choose between the sect and him.
The internal affairs elders did not dare to offend the White Eyebrow Patriarch. Seeing that Elder Dingyuan did not stop him, they followed the White Eyebrow Patriarch's words and asked the subconscious of the magical Taoist: "If Elder Dingyuan betrays the sect one day, what will you do?"
The subconscious of the magical Taoist thought for a moment: "I will obey Elder Dingyuan."
Hearing this answer, the monks admired and regretted it, but the White Eyebrow Patriarch smiled. Although the magical Taoist still defeated Xu Jie, it was enough to ruin his top three rating.
Dingyuan stood aside with red eyes. He did not expect that the magical Taoist would still choose Dingyuan between the sect and Dingyuan. What else did this elder want to get the magical Taoist? Elder Dingyuan was moved, and then he was furious. The White Eyebrow Patriarch dared to ruin the top three rating of the magical Taoist, and he must retaliate!
Just when Dingyuan was about to order the arrest of the White Eyebrow Patriarch on the grounds that he had exceeded his authority, the subconscious of the magical Taoist continued, "Because I believe that Elder Dingyuan will never betray the sect. Even if he does, he is slandered by others. I will find a way to prove his innocence!"
The monks were confused. It turned out that the magical Taoist chose to follow Dingyuan, not to betray the sect with Dingyuan, but to believe in Dingyuan and want to prove his innocence.
The subconscious will not lie, which proves that the magical Taoist unconditionally believes in Dingyuan and the sect.
Zhang Ye's ego consciousness watched from the side and nodded with satisfaction. The magical Taoist was set up by Su Jin himself, and it was indeed impeccable.
Dingyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he couldn't stop laughing. The White-browed Patriarch wanted to destroy the Magic Taoist even though he had overstepped his authority. However, he never thought that the Magic Taoist's subconscious answer cleverly resolved the trap set by the White-browed Patriarch, and even protected the reputation of Elder Dingyuan, saying that he would never betray the sect. How could Elder Dingyuan not be happy?
The White-browed Patriarch was very unwilling. He never thought that the Magic Taoist would answer like this, and was ready to ask again, but Dingyuan would not give him a chance. He shouted: "Where are the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall?"
"The disciples are here!" Immediately, a group of disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall broke into the Internal Affairs Hall.
Dingyuan continued, "The elder of the Refining Hall, the White-browed Ancestor, has interfered with the Internal Affairs Hall, overstepping his authority and violating the sect rules. Take him down and wait for his punishment!"
In theory, Dingyuan and the White-browed Ancestor are elders of the same level, and he has no right to deal with the White-browed Ancestor. He needs to report to the chief elder or the head of the sect for a decision, but Dingyuan couldn't swallow this breath, and he wanted to deliberately disgust the White-browed Ancestor.
The disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall looked at each other, how dare they take the White-browed Ancestor, but seeing Dingyuan's firm determination, they had to bite the bullet and execute: "White-browed Ancestor, I'm sorry!"
The White-browed Ancestor glanced at Dingyuan angrily. He was not afraid of punishment. The head of the sect or the chief elder would only scold him a few words at most, but as the most senior department elder of the Tiandao Palace, it would be so embarrassing if he was taken away by the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall. He immediately said, "I will leave by myself!"
The White-browed Ancestor left with a wave of his sleeves. Elder Dingyuan won a great victory in this confrontation.
The Internal Affairs Elder also immediately withdrew his divine thoughts and ended the heart-searching. He hesitated a little while holding the booklet, but still gave Zhang Ye an A-level rating. After all, in the heart-searching stage, as long as one meets a hard indicator, that is, there is no possibility of betrayal of the sect, one can get an A-level rating, and the magical Taoist meets this condition.
Therefore, the Internal Affairs Elder gave an unprecedented A-level rating for the heart-searching!
The monks praised him generously. After all, the magical Taoist had obtained a top-three rating, and his future was limitless. Moreover, he had Elder Dingyuan as his backing. If they could make friends, it would definitely help in the future, so the monks tried to please Zhang Ye.
The magical Taoist smiled and responded to everyone, but Zhang Ye's self-consciousness was anxious. He was delayed by the damned White Eyebrow Ancestor for a while, and there was not much time left for an incense stick.
Su Jin said that the flesh is like a container, and the consciousness of a person is like the items placed in the container. Once the fabricated magical Taoist consciousness is completely combined with the flesh, there will be no place for Zhang Ye to stay, and without the consciousness of the flesh, he cannot survive for too long. Therefore, it is necessary to return to the self-consciousness and squeeze the consciousness of the magical Taoist out of the body when the magical Taoist has not completely merged with the flesh, that is, within the time of an incense stick.
Zhang Ye immediately used his mind method to return the consciousness of the self to the flesh, but Zhang Ye's consciousness had just entered a small part, and was suddenly blocked by a force.
Zhang Ye looked at the magical Taoist who was playing with everyone, and was surprised. Could it be that he could not go back?
Zhang Ye did not believe in evil and wanted to return to the flesh again, but he was like being blocked by an invisible barrier, and the connection with the flesh became weaker and weaker.
Suddenly, the magical Taoist turned his head and stared straight at the void, as if he saw Zhang Ye. Although he did not speak, Zhang Ye did hear his voice: "From now on, I am you."
Zhang Ye was stunned. Although the magical Taoist was a fabricated consciousness, he was also an individual with normal human thinking. Although he could not inherit Zhang Ye's memory, he somehow understood that he was fabricated, so he wanted to completely take away Zhang Ye's flesh.
For example, there is an emperor in the mortal world who controls the world. One day, he suddenly finds out that he is not the legitimate heir of the country. What will he do? He must kill the real heir to make himself legitimate!
And the magical Taoist is doing this now.
This is why Su Jin repeatedly reminded that he must return to himself within the time of one stick of incense, otherwise something will happen!
