Chapter 203

Lu Lin walked over and took a look. On the cliff here, there was an unusually large and square deep depression.

You may not be able to see it very clearly here, but if you look at the rock wall opposite, you can see that these are the foundations of two artificially carved bridges on the rock wall.

In the deep recesses, there are dark round holes, which should have been used to fix the bridge.

"Hell, there was actually a bridge in this place before?" Lu Lin muttered unconsciously.

In this environment, even with modern technology, it would be quite difficult to build a bridge connecting both sides, right?

Is this the power of magic?

Even if a bridge of this size can be built, it can still be pulled out and moved?

"Did you see anything?" Lu Lin walked to Jack Zhengyi and asked.

"Well, two things," Jack Justice said, "First, judging from the condition of the rocks, this bridge should have been demolished in the past few months. Second, they were very careful when they demolished it. It is estimated that after Will put it back."

"So, is there any point in demolishing this bridge?" Lu Lin asked doubtfully, "Is there someone planning to attack the Tianri Sect? In order to defend, block a few roads first or something like that?"

"We have just thought about this possibility," Silly on the side said, "So I asked Stewed Pork to go to the school of thought. After asking, he said that he had not received such news. Although the school of thought had The information may not be 100% accurate...but, how can I put it, such a big event that will cause the Tianri Sect to go into war is usually not small, so there is no reason why there is no news at all. "

"Huh? That's weird," Lu Lin frowned, "It's true that we are going to war, but we can't find a reason to go to war. It can't be because we feel that the feng shui here is not good, so we should demolish it and put it somewhere else, right?"

"I really can't figure it out," Lan Jie also looked helpless. "We're not going to fight, so why did they demolish their own bridge? Is it to let their family members take an extra step to exercise?"

"Is it to facilitate management?" Silly asked, "Reducing the number of traffic roads to increase the intensity of existing intersection management or something like that?"

"No, if it's for that, just set up a card to prohibit passage," Jack Zhengyi said, "It's not like this has happened before, it's always been done that way."

After listening to the three people's words, Lu Lin suddenly frowned.

He felt that he seemed to have overlooked something...

The road was cut off inexplicably, but it wasn't for foreign enemies. Could it be to block our own people's road?

If you don't choose to set up a card but directly cut off the bridge, does that mean that just setting up a card can't stop these people?

Considering the current composition of the Tianri Sect...

Suddenly, a possibility came to Lu Lin's mind.

A very bad possibility.

"Jack, is there any way you can contact your teacher?" Lu Lin asked quickly.

"My teacher? No, we don't have similar means," Jack Zhengyi said, "Why do you suddenly ask this..."

Before he finished speaking, he seemed to understand what Lu Lin meant, and his expression immediately changed.

"No way..." Silly on the side also figured it out at this moment and said with a look of astonishment, "His teacher is the third elder of the Zhenjiao elders. The Tianri sect is headed by an elder, who is nominally older than his teacher. There are only two in total, and the only one who can control him is the elder. How can he be stopped at the door of his house? "

"The bridges have been demolished. If it is really to target Jack's teacher, then the situation will be complicated," Lu Lin said. "For such a big matter, one by one of those high-level officials, I don't believe there are people who don't know about this." thing.”

"What the hell, what the hell," Jack Justice was obviously panicked, "What do we do now?"

"Don't worry, even assuming they are targeting your teacher, since they chose to demolish the bridge instead of ambush your teacher here, it means that the situation has not reached its worst yet," Lu Lin said, "What we need to know now is which path they want your teacher to change. We might as well go over and take a look at the situation."

"There are six roads leading to the Headmaster, four bridges, and two cities," Jack Justice replied at a very fast speed, "Since they have demolished one bridge, it is very likely that they will demolish the second one. , but no matter what, they can't move those two cities. The closer one is here, but I'm not sure which way my teacher will go..."

"Calm down, Baldhead, that's your teacher," Silly said. "How can you not know his temper? The road to Islam has been torn down. With your teacher's temper, he will immediately find the nearest way and try to go back. You can't decide whether to go out to investigate or take a long way to play psychological games with the opponent? "

"I...ah, yes, damn it," Jack Zhengyi slapped his cheek fiercely, "You are right, with the teacher's temper, he will definitely not be patient enough to take a long detour, and may not even consider the issue of other bridges. , we will go directly to the nearest city, yes, let’s go directly to Karulonyan River City!”

With that said, Jack Zhengyi pointed the direction for Lu Lin.

Lu Lin nodded, and after explaining to Nan Jie, he returned to Dilong's back with everyone.

Returning to the alchemy room, Lu Lin patted his hat.

"A Diao, can you help me?" Lu Lin asked.

"Huh? What are you doing?" The ferret got out of the hat.

"Help me go over there to check the situation first," Lu Lin said, "I'm afraid there's a scam over there."

"Ah, that's okay," said the ferret, "as a reward, you have to help me with what I said before, okay?"

"Don't worry, I'll start working in a moment," Lu Lin said.

"Well, OK, leave it to me," said Snow Ferret, and flew out of the window in a flash.

Seeing Snow Ferret disappear in the distance at the speed of light, Lu Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation of the Tianri Cult was too weird, and he could finally feel at ease if Snow Ferret went to the scene to check the situation.

However, the issue of remuneration was indeed a matter of time.

Taking off the alchemy staff behind him, Lu Lin walked to the center of the alchemy room, looking at the white bones piled up like a small mountain in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alas, a big project..."

This pile of bones belonged to none other than the gang members who came to make trouble before.

After Lu Lin asked Nan Shu to help deal with the flesh and blood that was easy to rot on the corpse, he deliberately kept the bones.

As for the purpose, of course, it was to be used as a material for Lu Lin to refine the dead spirit formula.

High-level undead creatures are also very powerful. With so many materials, Lu Lin naturally wanted to use the waste to refine some undead puppets.

Who knew that after hearing this, the snow ferret directly asked Lu Lin to use all the materials to refine the strongest skeleton beast he could refine now. At that time, it could keep this thing directly in its stomach, and it could release it whenever Lu Lin needed it.

As for normal times.

That would naturally be left for it to use as a stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablet.

Lu Lin certainly had no objection to this. Large puppets took up space, and since the snow ferret agreed to use its stomach to help him carry it, he couldn't wait to be happy.

This is probably the so-called win-win situation, everyone can get what they want.

However, to say that the strongest skeleton beast that Lu Lin can refine at present is indeed a very troublesome project.

[Undead Recipe] · [Undead Puppet] · [Hertis's Skeleton Sea Dragon]

This is the strongest undead puppet that Lu Lin found after looking through all the undead formulas.

It is obviously a high-level formula, but it has unlimited growth potential. As long as it devours enough corpses in the future, its strength can even exceed the master-level formula.

Such potential made Lu Lin particularly excited, and he decided to refine this thing at that time.

However, when he saw the refining process, Lu Lin felt that his decision was a bit early.

Not to mention that the process and steps of the refining itself are among the longest among the advanced ones, the most excessive thing is that when refining this formula, a special alchemical dye that can be immersed in bones must be used to draw a very complex pattern on each bone.

When drawing, the refiner's magic power must be continuously injected into the pattern.

When drawing the pattern on all bones, the magic power injected must come from the same person.

In other words, Lu Lin had to finish drawing all the bones of this hill by himself.

So before, Lu Lin actually had some thoughts of changing his mind, but who knew that the snow ferret had tricked him, and then the little guy kept asking Lu Lin to refine this thing for him.

Originally, Lu Lin was still struggling with it, but now it has caught the opportunity, and this lazy Lu Lin may not be able to steal.

"Alas, why can't I split myself, really," thinking about some inexplicable daydreams in his mind, Lu Lin packed a box of bones on the table beside him, dipped a special paintbrush in alchemical dye, and started this long hard work.

Just after Lu Lin finished painting two bones, suddenly, a white shadow slid across the edge of his vision.

Lu Lin looked up and saw that the snow ferret had returned.

"Huh? You're back so soon?" Lu Lin asked in surprise, "Did you find anything?"

"Well, there's no need to check," said Xuewei, "I went over to see that person you mentioned, the Third Elder, they are very busy now, saying that they are going to build a new city on this side of the river."

Chapter 333 High-level internal fighting often only requires the simplest means

Since realizing that there may be changes within the Tianri Sect, everyone has actually been a little nervous.

After all, they have been with Jack Zhengyi for so long, even Si Li, who has the worst relationship with Jack Zhengyi, now occasionally cares about him.

In this case, naturally no one wants to see his teacher get into trouble.

But the actual situation is far beyond their expectations.

There are changes within the Tianri Sect, and there are indeed big moves.

It's just that the execution method is a little far from what they thought.

"Those old bastards! They said I was too noisy, and my subordinates always liked to make trouble for them! They didn't even let me go back!"

In front of Lu Lin and others, the old master pointed at the city with closed gates next to him and roared.

It took a long time for Lu Lin and others to figure out what was going on.

The changes in the Tianri Sect were relatively covert at the beginning. At first, most people didn't know what business the second elder was doing.

But paper can't cover fire after all. Everyone is in the same sect. After a long time, these things will naturally be hidden.

And as things gradually come to light, naturally, various different voices will begin to appear.

At the beginning, there were people with all kinds of opinions, supporters, basic supporters, partial supporters, opponents, basic opponents, partial opponents, and those who couldn't figure out whether they supported or opposed, those who opposed while enjoying the dividends, those who didn't enjoy the dividends but still supported, and those who were indifferent and hung up...

But as time goes by, the scattered crowd will eventually gather around various opinion leaders to form a substantial group.

And now, it is divided into five classic factions.

Full supporters, basic supporters, neutrals, moderate opponents and radical opponents.

And the proportion of people in such factions, generally speaking, intuitively, is subconsciously thought to be mostly rugby-shaped, with the most neutrals, and the more extreme the number should be, the fewer.

But the actual proportion of people is gourd-shaped.

Although the two more extreme factions of full supporters and radical opponents are still the smallest, there are not many neutrals. The largest number is the basic supporters, accounting for more than half of the total number of people, followed by the moderate opponents, accounting for about 30% of the total number.

The number of radical opponents is the smallest, probably not even half.

According to common sense, with this level of people, no matter how radical the radical opposition is, it is estimated that they can only gather together to circle their own territory.

But the fact is just the opposite. The radical opposition has been causing trouble for the supporters almost all the time, and from time to time, there will be one or two major events that can shake the middle faction.

The fundamental reason why they can have such influence is actually because they have a leader with a very high status.

It is none other than Jack Zhengyi's teacher, the third elder of the town religion, Fermida Garo.

He has a high status, strong strength, stubbornness, and a group of powerful disciples. It can be said that as long as he is still in the Tianri Sect, there will definitely be trouble for the supporters and even the neutral faction.

So in the past, they kept sending this third elder out when they had nothing to do, hoping that he would go out to do more work and cause less trouble for the Tianri Sect.

This kind of life lasted for several years, but today, it has once again ushered in a change.

Speaking of which, the root of this matter is actually the incident that Jack Zhengyi did at that time.

The people of an entire village were killed and all replaced by gang members, which later angered Gang Chief Luo and killed the director elder in anger.

This is undoubtedly a big deal, and it is extremely unfavorable to the supporters.

After all, what the elder did was too much, so much so that even the basic supporters would stand on Jack Zhengyi's side without hesitation.

Even the so-called "full supporters" could not do it this time. They either kept silent about the matter or attributed the problem to the elder himself.

But anger is anger, sympathy is sympathy, if they really want to give up the good life brought by the reform because of this matter...

The vast majority of Tianri Church members are still unwilling to do so.

Since the problem cannot be solved, the only way is to solve the problem.

The elder who caused the trouble is dead, and the remaining elders have also received warnings.

As for the person who discovered the problem...

Although Jack Zhengyi chose to leave Tianri Church because he was completely disappointed with Tianri Church, it does not mean that the upper echelons of Tianri Church are relieved about it.

Because this incident happened when the Third Elder led his team to leave the Tianri Sect to perform a mission, which made the current high-level leaders of the Tianri Sect realize that even if the Third Elder himself was not there, the influence of the radicals still existed.

Therefore, they discussed a more thorough and direct solution.

They found a troublesome task for the Third Elder to send out, and asked him to take all his team members out.

Then before he came back, this group of people directly demolished the bridge, blocked the city, and directly locked the Third Elder's team outside the gate, and did not let them go back.

This method was so simple and crude that it was outrageous, but it was just such a simple and crude method that the Third Elder really had no way to deal with it.

Because he understood one thing very well, no matter what, he could not really do anything to other people in the sect.

This would not only completely lose the support of the people, but also give those guys who had sharp conflicts and grievances with them the opportunity to do it.

As for whether the Tianri Sect itself would lose anything because of the road blockade...
