Chapter 372 Qingxue Gives up, Zheng Fa's Path

Uncle Pang's words caused a moment of silence in the main hall of Tiangong Island.

Madam Xuanhua seemed to think of what she saw in the main hall of Tongming Mountain that day, and she nodded slowly, sighing in a low voice: "People who are used to living in Jiushan Realm will not adapt to Taishang Dao."

This matter is not purely praising Jiushan Realm.

It is true that the current style of Jiushan Realm is gradually deviating from the traditional Xuanwei Sect. For an old sect like Taishang Dao, whether it is good or not is secondary, but the habits should be very different.

The common people in Jiushan Realm are now slowly getting on the right track.

In terms of food, Master Qian's achievements are one after another, and the diet of Jiushan disciples is becoming richer and richer.

In terms of spiritual materials, the research of "Golden Elixir Project" has solved the urgent problem.

In terms of talent reserves, there are many children who are proficient in grammar and have studied mathematics in the past few years.

It can be said that the foundation for the great development of Jiushan Realm has been gradually consolidated, but the changes in the outside world are one after another.

The threats near him are the Great Free Demon Ancestor, and the troubles in the distance are also the Leiyin Temple.

This kind of survival pressure made Zheng Fa start to consider a second way besides independent development.

What he didn't expect was that it was normal for him to have the idea of ​​developing on his own - after all, from the beginning, he was not very adaptable to the style of Xuanwei Xianmen, and he was incompatible with the original Jiushan Sect.

But Uncle Pang and Madam Xuanhua have lived in Xuanwei Realm for so many years, and it should be said that there is nothing unaccustomed to them. Now they are also vaguely thinking of not wanting to join the Supreme Dao.

You know, this is the Xuanwei Five Sects, the highest-ranking Xianmen in the hearts of Xuanwei cultivators!

He raised his eyes and looked at the others.

Sister Zhang, the old man, Uncle Pang and Uncle Huang, and Madam Xuanhua also looked at him. Everyone looked at each other and laughed at each other.

Sister Zhang's eyes flashed with joy:

"It seems that we think of the same thing?"

Uncle Huang nodded, and a smile appeared on his face. She usually has a blank expression on her face, but her smile at this time is also very moving.

Uncle Pang suddenly made a sound of disgust and said, "When I left the Hundred Immortals Alliance, I thought to myself that I would never suffer those bullies again!"

"Taishang Dao, if we had gone, how could we have the carefree life we ​​have today?"

Everyone talked for a while, and in the end, everyone was inclined not to join Taishang Dao.

Seeing Zheng Fa not talking, they stopped talking, but left Sister Zhang to accompany Zheng Fa, and left the hall one by one.

Looking at the backs of this group of people, Zheng Fa sighed for a long time, "Master, Uncle, and the others... have seen through me."

How many of Uncle Pang's choices were because they really didn't want to join Taishang Dao, and how many were just...understanding his truest thoughts, Zheng Fa was still clear in his heart.

He consulted with these people, to be honest, he wanted to hear some opposing opinions.

The result is good, this group of people are more stubborn than each other!

Senior Sister Zhang nodded first, then said slowly: "So we are not suitable to join the Supreme Dao."

"Hmm?"

Zheng Fa turned his head to look at Senior Sister Zhang, and heard Senior Sister Zhang say: "Junior brother, you are sincere by nature. In other words, you are not very cunning."

Zheng Fa felt this.

"Master, Master, and others can often see through what you are thinking..." Senior Sister Zhang paused and said, "This is not a bad thing. Although the world thinks that the unfathomable head is powerful, you are so clear about everything and open-hearted, and you have managed the Nine Mountains Realm very well."

"Master, what they said is also a proof of your ability."

Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa, with a bit of pride in her eyes, and she said, "But your personality is only suitable for the Nine Mountains Realm, where you can control the situation, or for a sect with a very friendly atmosphere."

"Taishang Dao, maybe it is such a sect..."

"But it is more likely not."

Zheng Fa blinked his eyes. What Senior Sister Zhang said was really thorough - whether a person's personality is good or bad is often closely related to the environment. Kindness is a kind of stupidity on the battlefield, and loyalty is... um, a kind of interest in the little book.

To be honest, with his personality, playing intrigue, playing power, playing layout, no matter whether he is willing or not, I am afraid that he will really be played to death.

Seeing his expression change, Senior Sister Zhang continued:

"Junior Brother, what you are good at is using facts to impress people, using the wisdom of the crowd to solve problems, and growing a sect slowly."

"Joining an old-fashioned Xuanwei sect is not suitable for you, me, or the current Jiushan Realm."

"Besides, who said that the Supreme Dao does not covet the Qingjing Bamboo, the Fusang Wood... and the "Jiushan Golden Pill Method"? "

Zheng Fa fell into silence. Senior Sister Zhang's words were not profound, but she pointed out the most important point-in the environment of a traditional Xuanwei Immortal Sect, whether Zheng Fa or the Jiushan Realm, it is a luxury to want to grow according to Zheng Fa's wishes.

It is hard to say whether joining the Supreme Dao can solve the current troubles-at least the Great Free Demon Ancestor is now fighting to the death with him.

But there will definitely be new troubles.

"Sister, are you saying..."

"Let's fight first!" A look of determination flashed across Sister Zhang's face, "What about the Great Free Demon Ancestor? We have seen him before."

"We have Qingjing Bamboo, the Fusang wood that has already taken shape, and now we have the Qingping Sword to help..."

"Are we weaker than last time?"

Zheng Fa nodded slowly. Sister Zhang and he have different personalities. He is relatively conservative and often predicts the enemy's leniency.

But Sister Zhang...she is a traditional Xuanwei genius. Cross-level battles are commonplace, and her record can be checked!

When in doubt, try fighting first, which is also Senior Sister Zhang's style.

After leaving Senior Sister Zhang, Zheng Fa took inventory of his family assets in his small courtyard.

Others really have no effect on Dao Fruit.

The first thing that is useful is the Quiet Bamboo. This thing is extremely restrained against the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor. It managed to defend the Nine Mountains Realm last time.

Then there is the humanoid hibiscus tree - my Qingyang Taoist body is transforming into a great achievement, and it cannot be called a real hibiscus tree, but isn't it also a youthful version of the demon king's dao fruit of the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor?

Brothers in distress, no one can laugh at anyone.

Can it barely be considered a tie?

If the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor has hidden strength, then we have to rely on...

Thank you Qingxue for your hard work!

…

But Xie Qingxue did not cooperate.

Zheng Fa these days, in addition to practicing and researching, is practicing the Qingping Sword with her.

To put it simply, Zheng Fa is like a switch, responsible for awakening Qingping Sword, and Xie Qingxue... is like a battery, responsible for providing spiritual power.

Xie Qingxue was reluctant and even resistant when cooperating with each other.

After a practice, Zheng Fa turned his head and looked at Xie Qingxue. Xie Qingxue also looked at him without showing any weakness, pursed her lips, and had the word "deliberate" written on her face.

The two looked at each other for a long time, both in silence.

Zheng Fa had already expected it——

He and Xie Qingxue are now afraid of each other, rather than sincerely cooperating.

He coveted Xie Qingxue's Qingping Sword and cultivation, and was also afraid of the trouble caused by the Jiushan Golden Pill Method.

On the one hand, Xie Qingxue was afraid that Zheng Fa would reveal her secret, but on the other hand, she was also greedy for the "Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method".

The combination of fear and interest is naturally unstable, not to mention that Xie Qingxue is the passive one in this kind of drill.

Zheng Fa has seen how proud Senior Sister Zhang is.

Xie Qingxue's background, fortune, and talents were all better than those of Senior Sister Zhang. She would naturally be more arrogant, and of course she would have more awkwardness and grievances in her heart.

In the past few days, as the number of drills increased, Xie Qingxue's resistance became more and more obvious - although Zheng Fa could still use the "Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method" to activate the Qingping Sword, Xie Qingxue still needed to put his whole heart into it if he wanted to exert extraordinary power. cooperative.

Now... it's just the opposite.

It’s easy to guess why Xie Qingxue dared to do this:

Although Zheng Fa now holds her pigtail, he does not dare to defeat her easily - the moment Zheng Fa reveals Xie Qingxue's secret, the "Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method" will also be exposed.

Although she couldn't resist Zheng Fa's influence on Qingping Sword, it didn't stop her from showing off.

After several times of cooperation, there was no progress at all.

Xie Qingxue did not cooperate but did not speak. She only looked at Zheng Fa.

Seeing this, Zheng Fa stopped insisting and just said he would try again in the future.

In order to facilitate Xie Qingxue's participation in research, she also has a guest house on Wanxian Island, right next to Yan Wushuang's yard. These days, they are both in the Nine Mountains Realm.

When Xie Qingxue came back, Yan Wushuang had also just come back from Tongming Mountain, with an expression as if he had eaten something.

"Senior sister!" As soon as he saw Xie Qingxue, he couldn't help shouting, his face filled with desire to share: "Guess what I heard?"

"What?"

Xie Qingxue frowned, seeming to be worried about how to deal with her relationship with Zheng Fa. She naturally didn't like the feeling of being manipulated, but now...she didn't dare to really fall out with Zheng Fa.

"Zheng Fa rejected Taishang Dao, Haori Mountain and Yaochi three families in a row!"

Xie Qingxue was stunned for a moment and then realized: "Didn't his whole family seek refuge?"

"Yes!" Yan Wushuang nodded, "Yaochi and Haori Mountain are fine. I heard that Master Chengkong of Taishangdao seems to be extremely depressed..."

"Rejected..."

Xie Qingxue lowered her head, her thoughts flying to nowhere.

"Senior sister, why do you think Zheng Fa refused?" Yan Wushuang was still chattering. He also knew the reality of Jiu Shan Sect and the current situation of Xuan Wei Realm. In fact, he understood the current situation of Jiu Shan Realm very well.

The Nine Mountains Realm is powerful.

But the treasures they possess and the secret techniques they have accumulated can provoke more powerful enemies.

"Zheng Fa is no better than a golden elixir...Jiushan Sect itself doesn't even have the ability to transform into a god. Now that there is an opportunity to join the Taishang Dao, he actually refuses..."

Yan Wushuang's words contained deep confusion.

"Could it be that after he defeated the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor once, he felt that the Nine Mountains Realm was impregnable?"

"Based on my understanding of Zheng Fa, he is not such an arrogant person!"

"This is unreasonable..."

Listening to Yan Wushuang's whisper, Xie Qingxue's head gradually raised, and she whispered: "No, their choice...may be the right one."

"ah?"

Xie Qingxue stopped explaining and just looked at the sky. She seemed a little confused about the future. She was unwilling to be controlled by Zheng Fa, but she was more hesitant than Zheng Fa was now - she didn't even know which direction to go in the future.

"Thank you Fairy?"

Please...you...collect 6...books...!

Zheng Fa's figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

Xie Qingxue raised her head in confusion and saw Zheng Fa pointing toward the door and saying, "Xie Xianzi is here for the first time in Jiu Shan. I haven't taken you to visit Jiu Shan Realm yet. I happen to be free today... How about?"

Xie Qingxue thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded.

The two walked out of Ten Thousand Immortals Island one after another, and Zheng Fa took her straight to the mortal world.

"Thank you Fairy."

"Um?"

"I now know your deepest secret, and you also know the most deadly technique in my Nine Mountain Realm..." Zheng Fa's words reached Xie Qingxue's ears clearly in the wind, "Then I think you and I are not necessarily the same person. Enemy, right?”

Xie Qingxue said nothing.

Zheng Fa, however, had expected it and continued to speak: "Xie Xianzi, I have always wanted to ask, why do you want to resurrect the Tianhe Patriarch?"

"for what?"

Xie Qingxue was startled. It seemed that she had never thought about this issue at all, or that she had not thought about it clearly.

She pondered for a moment and then said: "Because I grew up hearing the name of my ancestor... he is the person I respect the most."

"This respect turns into injustice after becoming a god and knowing some truth."

"Then I met Qing Pingjian again..."

Xie Qingxue was originally a talkative person, but now she speaks three or four sentences in a row, no longer as silent as before.

Zheng Fa listened quietly, and after she finished speaking, he said, "What if Venerable Tianhe is resurrected?"

This was something he hadn't thought about. The three disciples of Tianhe, Shouzhong Patriarch, were indeed respectable, but Zheng Fa really didn't know what Xie Qingxue wanted.

Zheng Fa believes that Patriarch Shouzhong really has feelings for Venerable Tianhe.

But Xie Qingxue is willing to give her life just because of the injustice in her heart?

This is too much.

Xie Qingxue heard what he meant and opened her mouth, but she was speechless and seemed unable to answer the question.

"What do you want to say?"

"I want to say that if Fairy Xie is because you are dissatisfied with the current situation or have no hope for the future, then I would like to ask you to take a look at the current Jiushan Realm."

Zheng Fa looked at Xie Qingxue and said seriously.

He had heard a saying that sometimes, nostalgic for the past is just dissatisfaction with the current situation.

This was his guess about Xie Qingxue.

Xie Qingxue's pupils shrank, as if Zheng Fa had touched some of her true inner thoughts.

"What? You want me to be like Yan Wushuang, who belongs to the Tianhe Sect and is loyal to the Nine Mountains Sect?"

Xie Qingxue was in a daze for a moment, then she put away the look in her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth, as if she was mocking.

"yes."

Zheng Fa suddenly smiled. This smile was so frank that even Xie Qingxue was surprised. She looked at Zheng Fa for a moment and then said, "What do you want me to see?"

"Have Brother Yan ever told you about the Divine Speed ​​​​Car?"

Xie Qingxue nodded, and Zheng Fa pointed to the sky. In the sky, dozens of improved Shenxiao speeding cars were speeding through the air.

On the ground is a big river.

The new Banshan City is on the left bank of the river. The flying boat started from the new Banshan City and followed the river, passing through villages. In less than half a day, it arrived at another newly built state city.

Zheng and Fa did not disturb the common people, but remained invisible in the sky.

These improved flying boats are divided into two types, one for transporting people and the other for transporting cargo.

The one that transports people is more delicate and safer, while the one that transports cargo is much rougher, but it has a large capacity and each has its own advantages.

Although Banshan City is newly built, there are flying boats carrying goods and people, and the market is also extremely lively - there are people from other cities selling specialties brought there, people from nearby villages selling vegetables and grains, and some Businessmen from other places visit the market.

The level of excitement is no worse than that of some big cities in Xuanwei Realm.

Just outside the city are neatly plotted farmlands. The crops in the fields are all different, but they all grow extremely well.

"That is?"

Xie Qingxue couldn't help but pointed at a qi-training monk preaching in the field and asked.

"He is a disciple of our sect and now works in the Agricultural Department of Banshan City." Zheng Fa recognized him at just one glance and introduced him to Xie Qingxue.

Xie Qingxue showed some of her true nature at this time. She asked: "What is the Agriculture Department?"

"It is the department that popularizes agricultural knowledge in our sect."

Xie Qingxue's eyes suddenly opened wide, and she exclaimed: "Agricultural knowledge? You used this knowledge to cultivate Qingjing bamboo and hibiscus trees!"

"Of course, this knowledge will not be passed on easily." Zheng Fa said frankly, "They won't be able to use it either. They just need some new planting methods."

Xie Qingxue nodded when she heard the words, but she still looked at the qi training disciple intently. Seeing that he was really serious about teaching those farmers, she turned back to look at Zheng Fa and asked doubtfully: "Why?"

Zheng Fa looked at her as if he didn't know what she was asking.

"What's the use?"

Her reaction to seeing these things was different from Yan Wushuang and Han Lao...

After all, Yan Wushuang and Mr. Han have some compassionate feelings.

But Xie Qingxue didn't. It was hard for her to understand why Zheng Fa wanted monks to help mortals.

Zheng Fa thought for a while, then took her to the ground. The two of them were like a pair of ordinary young men and women, walking in the mountainous city, surrounded by noisy schools.

"Because I am also dissatisfied with the status quo."

Zheng Fa said suddenly.

Xie Qingxue was stunned for a moment when she heard this and turned to look at him.

"I don't know, Fairy Xie, what you think is wrong with the Immortal Sect, so you want to resurrect Grandmaster Tianhe."

"I also think the current Immortal Sect is wrong."

Zheng Fa's words made Xie Qingxue's eyes even more confused.

"It's just that I don't put my hope of changing the Immortal Sect on the people who have passed by." Zheng Fa pointed to the children playing in the classroom and said, "I put my hope on my own hands, and... let go on them."

"Them?" Xie Qingxue's tone was full of disbelief, "How can they compare to the ancestor?"

"Didn't we also create the "Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method"?"

Zheng Fa asked rhetorically.

"That's because you have extraordinary talent." Xie Qingxue said matter-of-factly.

"No." Zheng Fa looked at Xie Qingxue with clear eyes, "There are many things in the "Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method" that were perfected by those low-level disciples."

"The Kelingsu cycle theory and the Five Elements Talisman were all summarized or proposed by you."

Zheng Fa shook his head slowly and said with a smile: "Xie Xianzi, whether you believe it or not, the only thing that I can do better than the monks in Xuanwei was actually taught to me by a group of people without any cultivation."

After hearing this, Xie Qingxue's face was full of confusion, but looking at Zheng Fa's candid eyes, she felt that Zheng Fa was telling the truth, and she didn't know what to ask anymore.

"Xie Xianzi, I don't think you have to help me. You also know that I don't want to become Xuanwei's public enemy with you." Zheng Fa's voice seemed to have penetrated into her heart, "I am saying, if you If you want to change something, maybe resurrecting the ancestor is not the only way."

Zheng Fa watched Xie Qingxue return to his residence. Naturally, he wanted to persuade Xie Qingxue, but he was not a very good lobbyist.

Just like Senior Sister Zhang said - he will only use facts to impress people, use everyone's wisdom to solve problems, and use his own ideas to slowly grow the Nine Mountains Sect.

This is what he shows Xie Qingxue now, and this is all.

A few days after Xie Qingxue returned, she would touch the Qingping Sword and meditate from time to time. Zheng Fa did not look for her again, as if he had finished speaking.

Until one day, Zheng Fa had someone deliver a small box with a piece of paper stuck in the middle.

There is another sentence on the paper: "Xie Xianzi, this is the path I want to take."

Xie Qingxue opened the box and found that there was only a thin, brand-new book inside. On the top of the cover, two words were written -

"The Way of Immortality".
