Chapter 433 What Should We Do?
It is said on the jade slip that if a lucky person opens the box, the list of items in the box will immediately appear in the lucky person's mind.
What are such measures? Aren't they just guarding against what the Tianxin Sect is planning now?
The power behind Monk Wuwei is Prajna Temple, and it is also a force that Tianxin Sect cannot afford to offend! If Monk Wuwei was not told in advance what was in the box, but Monk Wuwei was lucky enough to open the box, could this matter still be a good thing? Absolutely not! At least it is impossible to do good with the rewards promised before! No one will be tempted in the face of strong temptation.
After a long time, the great elder said: "You are the leader, what do you think about this matter?"
Head Yang frowned and then said: "Why don't we let Monk Wuwei try it first and wait until he can open it? As for the truth, we won't tell him in advance."
Head Yang's decision was considered a last resort, and the three elders did not say anything anymore, and then decided to give Monk Wuwei a try the next day.
The next day, Master Yang went to find Monk Wuwei, but Monk Wuwei had just been taught a lesson by Miaomiao the night before. It was when he was angry and had nowhere to vent his anger. He really didn't care about Master Yang's visit. You're welcome.
Leader Yang could not tell Monk Wuwei the truth, so he could only flatter him until Monk Wuwei was made happy, and then he explained his purpose.
Master Yang told Monk Wuwei that there was a box in his Tianxin sect, but no one could open it. If anyone could open the box, he would be given a generous gift.
After listening to Master Yang's words, Monk Wuwei thought about it for a moment, and then smiled.
"No one in your door can open it. It seems that it is not easy to open this box!" Monk Wuwei said.
"The difficulty is not small. If the difficulty was small, there would be no need to trouble the eminent monk to take action, right?" Leader Yang said with a flattering look.
"Okay! It's not impossible to want the poor monk to take action, but the poor monk has a condition."
"Sir, please speak."
"I don't want any generous gifts from you, I just want you to switch VIP room No. 1 to me!"
Monk Wuwei's words moved Master Yang's heart. It seemed that Monk Wuwei wanted to take the opportunity to regain some face from Gu Zheng.
"Yes, if the eminent monk can open the box, I will take care of this matter immediately." Head Yang said seriously.
"No, what I want is that you have to do it now, regardless of whether you can open the box or not."
Looking at Monk Wuwei's smiling face, Leader Yang really wanted to strangle him to death. He thought he would be easier to talk to than Gu Zheng, but now it seems that these two people are not easy to get along with.
Gu Zheng was the one most likely to open the box. If Gu Zheng's request hadn't made Head Yang a little scared, this matter wouldn't have been Monk Wuwei's turn.
"I don't even know if you can open it, so you let me offend another distinguished guest. This approach is a bit unreasonable!" Head Yang said helplessly.
"Master Yang, please don't tell me secret words. The box you mentioned contains something very important to you, right? If you had other ideas, you wouldn't come to beg me, right? After all, I can tell you when I see it. Not like a kind person."
Monk Wuwei is really self-aware. He smiled and continued: "So, you either agree to my conditions, or you just pretend that I didn't say anything!"
"Okay, give me some time, I will finish this matter for the eminent monk this afternoon!" Head Yang gritted his teeth.
"Okay, then it's such a happy decision!"
Monk Wuwei laughed and looked happily at the tree house opposite.
If Master Yang dares to change monk Wuwei's room, isn't he afraid of offending Gu Zheng? Of course he was afraid, but there were no workarounds.
In the Tianxin Sect, Head Yang and three elders were sitting in the meeting hall.
"Go and tell Sect Master Gu what he said last night. We are considering it carefully and let him wait for a while. I am very sorry for this. Then you tell him that the third elder in the sect is very I want to get to know him, and I want him to move to the Tianxin sect’s villa and discuss the art of cooking with him.”
After giving instructions to his closest disciples, Head Yang turned to look at the third elder: "Master, I'd like to trouble you about appeasing Gu Zheng."
"It's okay! It's just that such an excuse may not be able to hide Gu Zheng. I hope that Monk Wuwei can really open the box as you wish!" The third elder sighed.
The confidant disciple conveyed the words of Head Yang to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng just smiled and said nothing. He followed the confidant disciple to the other courtyard where the third elder of the Tianxin Sect was located.
Monk Wuwei, who was standing at the window of another tree house, saw Gu Zheng and others leaving under the leadership of the disciples of the Tianxin Sect, and a winner's smile immediately appeared on his lips.
"Master Yang, where did you arrange Gu Zheng?"
Monk Wuwei turned around, looked at Master Yang behind him and smiled.
In fact, what Monk Wuwei hopes most is that Head Yang will swap his guest room with Gu Zheng's, so that Gu Zheng will lose face even more!
However, Monk Wuwei also understood that if he made such a request, Master Yang would definitely not agree to it unless he had already opened the box! After all, no one has seen any benefit yet, and if they ask Master Yang to offend the other master to death, no one will agree to it unless he is a fool.
"Anyway, we have agreed to the eminent monk's request. As for where we have arranged Master Gu, it doesn't matter anymore, right?" Master Yang said with a grimace.
"It's not important, it's not important!"
Monk Wuwei laughed: "Let's go, take me to see your box."
Following Monk Wuwei down the tree, looking at his sullen look, Master Yang greeted Monk Wuwei's eight generations of ancestors in his heart.
In front of the secret room of the Tianxin Sect, the first elder and the second elder were waiting at the door.
"Why is there anyone else?"
Monk Wuwei frowned and his voice became serious.
"Senior Monk Wuwei, we are the First Elder and Second Elder of the Tianxin Sect. How can we not be present for such an important matter like opening the box?" the First Elder of the Tianxin Sect said with a smile.
"It turns out they are two elders from the Tianxin Sect. In that case, let's go in!"
Having said that, Monk Wuwei's vigilance did not lessen.
The stone door slowly opened, and the secret room behind the door seemed very empty. Apart from a large box about two meters long, there were only a few night-light pearls that emitted a faint light.
After walking around the box twice, Monk Wuwei said: "I knew that the box that ordinary people couldn't open must be protected by an immortal formation or a restriction."
"Is there anything the eminent monk can do about this?" Leader Yang asked hurriedly.
"I have to give it a try, but I should have a certain degree of confidence in opening it. I have an indescribable feeling that my inner energy seems to be attracted by the restrictions on the box."
Monk Wuwei paused, then turned to Head Yang and others and smiled: "Please, Head Yang and the two elders, please stand in the corner."
"Why is this?" The second elder frowned.
"The poor monk felt a lot of death in this secret room! Presumably many people have died here intermittently, right? The poor monk doesn't want to open the box and become an unjust ghost for no reason!" Monk Wuwei sneer.
"The eminent monk really knows how to joke, how could we do such a thing."
The great elder laughed and took the lead towards the corner.
"Hmph, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others."
Seeing that the three heads of Yang were already in the corner farthest from the box, Monk Wuwei put his hand on the box.
Monk Wuwei input his inner energy into the restriction on the box, and the whole box shook slightly. A pattern of flashing light appeared on it, spinning very mysteriously.
The three heads of Yang suddenly became very excited. In history, the only people in history who could make such an abnormality appear in the box were the two other people besides Gu Zheng who knew the secret in the box.
However, the excitement quickly solidified on the faces of the three heads of Yang. Monk Wuwei was not much stronger than the two people in history. When the light on the light array reached a certain level, a force was extremely powerful. A huge counterattack force emerged from the light array. Monk Wuwei screamed and was immediately knocked away.
"hateful!"
The great elder was so angry that he vomited blood. Monk Wuwei, who had not yet stood up, was startled.
"What do you want to do?"
Monk Wuwei, who stood up, took a cautious step back.
"Get out, come out with me quickly!"
The great elder was already in a bad mood, but when he saw Monk Wuwei in this state, he pointed at the door of the secret room and shouted angrily.
"Go out as soon as you go out. Do you think this poor monk rarely stays here?"
Monk Wuwei snorted coldly and staggered towards the door.
"Master Wuwei, I'm really sorry! Whether the box can be opened or not is of great importance, and the great elder has high hopes for you, so..."
"Stop explaining, what the hell!"
Monk Wuwei didn't buy it and glared at Master Yang fiercely.
"What now?"
In the secret room, the second elder asked the first elder.
"I thought this monk Wuwei would be different, but I didn't know he was just a loser, a loser!"
The great elder's anger has not yet subsided.
"Hey, it seems that Gu Zheng has to give the box a try!" the second elder sighed.
"We'll discuss this matter two days later. It's better not to use Gu Zheng, especially after changing his room." The elder said depressedly.
At the same time, in the other courtyard of Tianxin Sect.
"Master Gu, please have tea."
The third elder poured the brewed tea for Gu Zheng and Miaomiao.
Gu Zheng held the tea cup and smelled the tea: "The new Yunwu tea on Wufeng Island still tastes so fragrant and charming, just like the first time I smelled it." Gu Zheng's voice was slightly emotional.
"Since Master Gu likes Yunwu New Tea so much, when Master Gu leaves Wufeng Island, I will definitely give Master Gu some more." The third elder said with a smile.
"No need. The Yunwu New Tea tasted good at first, but now the Yunwu New Tea has changed its taste. It's okay not to use this kind of tea."
Gu Zheng put the tea cup on the table after smelling the fragrance of tea.
The third elder looked embarrassed, and he could naturally tell that Gu Zheng was talking through tea leaves, talking about his initial impression of the Tianxin Sect and the change in his current impression.
"Third Elder, you invited me into the other courtyard not because you want to discuss cooking with me, but because you want to give up the VIP room No. 1 to Monk Wuwei, right?"
The calmness of Guzheng made the third elder who wanted to say no feel dry in his mouth.
"I knew that this matter could not be hidden from Master Gu. However, I want to discuss the art of cooking with Master Gu, which is also a long-standing desire in my heart." The third elder smiled bitterly.
"Do you think Monk Wuwei can open that box?"
Gu Zheng's voice was still calm, but the topic he was talking about was the last thing the third elder wanted to bring up now.
However, for some reason, the third elder, who originally thought he could easily deal with Gu Zheng, now feels a little on pins and needles. Especially when Gu Zheng is looking at him, he feels uncomfortable that his secret has been discovered.
"No way! After all, when Monk Wuwei held the 'Tianxin Pearl', the light on it did not become much stronger."
The third elder answered almost instinctively. He was still thinking about why he felt so uncomfortable when facing the ancient dispute.
Suddenly, the third elder's eyes widened, and he looked at Gu Zheng in disbelief: "Master Gu, you, you can't..."
Looking at the incoherent third elder, Gu Zheng frowned and said, "What can happen to me?"
"No, it's nothing." The third elder said with evasive eyes.
Looking at the third elder with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, Gu Zheng was also puzzled.
The third elder is Yang Zhenling's grandfather. The blood of their family is a bit strange, and the boys tend to have something unusual. Just like Yang Zhenling, he can see a person's level of cultivation, and the third elder, Yang Zhenling's grandfather, also has this talent!
In terms of this talent, Yang Zhenling's grandfather was more accurate than Yang Zhenling. Although he could not see the true level of cultivation of Gu Zheng, because of his experience, he made a frightening guess that Gu Zheng might He is a cultivator!
When the third elder was young, he once met an immortal cultivator. The immortal cultivator also spoke in such a calm and gentle manner, but the feeling he gave to the third elder was exactly the same as the one he gave to the current elder. It makes people uncomfortable!
The experiences of his childhood had long been buried in the deepest part of his memory, and now they suddenly popped up. How could the third elder not be surprised!
How old is Gu Zheng? This is something that has already been discovered during the investigation! But if he was not a cultivator, how could he bring such a strange feeling?
Facing Gu Zheng's inquiry, the third elder did not dare to tell his true thoughts! In his opinion, since Gu Zheng chose to hide his true cultivation level, he definitely didn't want others to know. If he knew about it and still wanted to tell it, what else would it be if he didn't feel unhappy? At the same time, the third elder was also complaining in his heart. What kind of person did they find? I found a cultivator to come over, but the cultivator was a little disappointed. If this matter is not handled well, it is not surprising that the Tianxin Sect will disappear!
"Master Gu, I'm going to make a charcoal fire. Let's roast some golden scales, shall we? I heard that kid from Zhenling say that the golden scales you roasted taste particularly good!"
The third elder felt that he had to leave Guzheng to get some fresh air, otherwise he would definitely be sweating profusely in such a dull environment before long.
"No, I have no interest in baking golden scales today. Fellow Taoist Yang is a pretty good person. You are his grandfather, so you should be a good person too."
Gu Zheng could tell that the third elder was a little afraid of him, although he didn't know the exact reason. The impression Yang Zhenling left on Gu Zheng has not changed much, so Gu Zheng does not hope that Yang Zhenling's grandfather is a person he hates.
"A good man, absolutely a good man!"
The third elder laughed along with him, and the atmosphere was so strange that no one could distinguish between young and old.
"Since I am a good person, let me advise you. Regarding the box, I am not as bad as you fear, but you should not think of me as a fool or plot against me, otherwise you will definitely I will regret it.”
Gu Zheng stood up and said, "I'm tired. I'm sorry to be with you, Third Elder! If you have already made a decision about the box, just come to me when the time comes. Otherwise, I refuse to see guests these days!"
Gu Zheng left, and only the third elder was left in the courtyard, his back already soaked.
The third elder did not stay in the courtyard for long. He immediately went to find Yang Zhenling.
Since Gu Zheng had a good impression of Yang Zhenling, and Gu Zheng had been staying with Yang Zhenling on Wufeng Island these past few days, the third elder wanted to see if he could learn more about Gu Zheng from Yang Zhenling.
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
Yang Zhenling, who was working, saw the third elder arriving and hurried forward to greet him.
After the third elder signaled Yang Zhenling not to be polite, he immediately got straight to the point and said, "My grandson, what do you think of this person, Master Gu?"
Yang Zhenling was very curious as to why the third elder asked such a question, but seeing the seriousness of the third elder's expression, he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity for the time being.
"Grandpa, Master Gu is a very special person. Based on my grandson's understanding of him, I feel that he is a close friend. Although he has many secrets, he is not a bad person. He becomes strong when he is strong and soft when he is soft. You are the best among men!" Yang Zhenling answered carefully.
"Secret? Do you know his secret?" asked the third elder.
"I know a little bit." Yang Zhenling replied.
"What secret?" the third elder asked again.
Yang Zhenling knew the secret of Gu Zheng, which was that they used unconventional methods to fish at sea. The Miao Miao following him was actually a demon cultivator.
"Grandpa, this is a secret that belongs to the ancient master. I forgive my grandson for not being able to tell you!"
Yang Zhenling has been afraid of the strict third elder since he was a child. Now he dares to refuse the third elder's inquiry, which can be regarded as courage.
Yang Zhenling originally thought that the third elder would be angry, but the third elder didn't seem to care.
"Do you know the secret of the ancient master? Does the ancient master know it himself?" The third elder asked again.
"If one ancient master knows it, the other one should also know it." Yang Zhenling thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, very good! No wonder Master Gu has a special regard for you. Even me, a grandfather, can't ask anything from you."
Seeing that the Third Elder was not angry, but seemed relieved, Yang Zhenling could not help but be curious.
"Grandpa, what happened? Why are you asking me these questions?" Yang Zhenling asked.
"Grandson, today Grandpa will tell you the biggest secret of our Feng Island."
The Third Elder told Yang Zhenling, who was not supposed to know, everything about the 'Tianxin Sect' and the box. Then, he told all about what happened to Gu Zheng around the box.
Yang Zhenling was shocked by the true history of the Tianxin Sect, and he was a little excited about the fact that Gu Zheng was a cultivator.
"Yes, yes! If Fellow Daoist Gu is a cultivator, many mysteries surrounding him can be explained."
The excited Yang Zhenling muttered to himself, he remembered that on the way to Kunlun Sect, Gu Zheng rescued Tong Rui alone, and finally hunted down the people of the Demonic Dao, and even won against several princelings of Shushan in the Dragon Battle Square! The means used to fish at sea, and why a demon cultivator could be made a maid, everything, all had a reasonable explanation!
"My grandson is really different from me. After hearing about the true realm of Master Gu, your reaction was not fear."
The third elder shook his head and smiled, then said: "What do you think should be done about this matter?"
