Battle Spirit

Chapter 145: Leverage

Several people were stunned for a while, as if they were wondering what he meant. After a while, he opened his mouth: "You——"

Li Wuxiang smiled and bowed his hands to them: "I am Li Wuxiang, the one that Senior Sister Mei picked up. When I came to this world, I just understood the matter and started cultivating Guang Chanzi a few days later. In the first two months, I became a Qingnangxian met Senior Brother Zeng and was taught the Dharma by him. He just met Master Jiang outside and introduced me to Youjiuyuan. He also met Senior Brother Miao Hong, Sword Master Xiao and Sword Master Cao. "

The swordsmen in front also turned to look at him and stepped aside, so Sword Master Cui also opened his eyes on the bamboo chair and glanced at him.

After a moment of silence, the swordsman who spoke first looked behind Li Wuxiang: "So, where are Junior Brother Li and Senior Sister Mei?"

"Senior brother, who are you?"

"I'm Kong Xu." The swordsman raised his hand to him.

Li Wuxiang nodded: "Oh, Senior Sister Mei said she had something to do, so she called me over first."

After he said this, everyone was silent for a moment and all went to see Sword Master Cao.

So Li Wuxiang was thinking about what they would say next.

He used to have some principles of his own when it came to workplace relationships. That is, it is best to be able to integrate into the environment smoothly. If not, then don't become a soft persimmon from the beginning.

He has no doubt that the workplace environment in Jianzong is much better than any place he has ever known or heard of before, and they are all a group of good people. But good people can also make people uncomfortable, just like relatives at home. I don’t know what Mei Qiulu did before. With her cultivation level that was about to become a Yang Shen, she actually turned herself into a doormat.

He didn't want something like this to happen to him, otherwise wouldn't he become an inner demon?

Sword Master Cao sighed: "She is avoiding us. Alas, since she has returned to Youjiuyuan, this kind of thing should be explained immediately."

Kong Xu also sighed: "Oh, Senior Sister Mei is getting more and more her own way."

Li Wuxiang also sighed: "Well, maybe it's because she doesn't want to hear people talking about her behind her back. To be honest, although it was Senior Sister Mei who introduced me, I also think it's not good for her to be like this. Let's take ordinary people in the world as an example. , Who doesn’t have a few relatives who like to gossip behind their backs? But if you have broken bones and even tendons, you can just endure it, so why hide?”

Kong Xu frowned: "Junior Brother Li, we are not talking about people's shortcomings behind their backs. Now that Senior Sister Mei is back, we have to say it in front of her. This is not the first time. All members of the Sword Sect are brothers and sisters. Just because Senior Sister Mei is wielding a sword, my fellow disciples will have to stay humble and fearful like in other sects. You have just started, and you will gradually know it later."

Li Wuxiang was stunned for a moment: "Ah, so that's what happened. I really didn't know it before. Then...Senior Brother Kong, is Sword Master Cui not in good health?"

"Sword Master Cui? Sword Master Cui has the cultivation level of Nascent Soul. How can he be in poor health?"

"Oh, that's because I misunderstood and was offended." Li Wuxiang smiled sheepishly, "I've heard it before - it's the same as what you just said, Senior Brother Kong - there are all brothers and sisters in the Sword Sect. , I don’t think there is any distinction between people. I'm wondering why you are all standing, but Brother Cui is sitting down? I'm still wondering if I'm not feeling well. I just came here, and I don't know the rules of Youjiuyuan very well, but when I see this scene outside, I You will feel that this is the difference between status and inferiority.”

Kong Xu looked at the swordsman beside him, let out a breath, and smiled: "Junior brother, this is respect. In this world, one person is not standing while the other person has to kneel. The sect is different from the outside. Sword Master Cui is With your Nascent Soul cultivation, you will naturally be respected by others. If you are always guarding the door in Youjiuyuan, you will also be respected. If you value this chair, it means that your dignity is in your heart, not in this chair. of."

Several people around nodded and smiled: "Senior Brother Kong said it well, Junior Brother Li, you should take note of these words carefully."

Li Wuxiang nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, Senior Brother Kong is right. If you didn't tell me, I would have thought that you have forgotten that Mei Zhangjian is also a Nascent Soul, and he also travels around to protect his fellow disciples."

Kong Xu was silent for a moment and looked at Li Wuxiang: "Junior brother Li, you don't need to be so arrogant. I am a golden elixir sword wielder, but if there are brothers around me who feel that what I am doing is wrong, they can still rebuke me. Let's find the Mei Palm Sword, It’s not that you don’t respect her, it’s just that the Sword Sect is like this – if you think someone is doing something wrong, you can point it out and no one will be unhappy about it.”

Li Wuxiang was stunned for a moment: "Ah... that's it. I'm so sorry. I just heard you say from behind, 'Mei Zhang Jian always says some weird things.' Then Brother Kong, you said, 'She This is for fear that Xuanjiao cannot find You Jiuyuan, so I can’t bear it. I just remembered that Sister Mei told me before that she was dissatisfied with certain things in the church, so she couldn't help but say a few words - it turns out that you can point them out and no one will be unhappy about it. I thought you were unhappy."

Kong Xu opened his eyes slightly and took a deep breath: "What we thought before was right. The people brought back by Senior Sister Mei are indeed very unsociable. Junior Brother Zeng is okay. Lou He followed you when he first entered the sect. This temper is similar. But Lou He is still a human being, but you are an inhuman being, Junior Brother Li——"

Li Wuxiang quickly raised his hand: "Wait a minute, Brother Kong, you don't want to talk nonsense. If you want to say that because I am not a human being, my ideas may be different from those of a living person. I don't know what I will do in the future." Well, I just heard that—Sword Master Cui is also not a human being? You are so disrespectful to Sword Master Cui by speaking like this."

Kong Xu's face turned slightly red, and he immediately turned to look at Sword Master Cui, who was sitting on the bamboo chair with his eyes closed. Then he turned back and frowned: "Li Wu—Junior Brother Li! I'm advising you—you—"

He took two deep breaths and exhaled heavily: "You have been outside the door that Senior Sister Mei led you in for a long time. You must have met many other sects and know something about the internal fighting among sects. But here we are. You Jiuyuan, you'd better not have such thoughts. Everyone knows the difference between right and wrong. If you want me to be introduced to you by Mei Zhangjian, you feel that since you are from her lineage, you should not distinguish between right and wrong. If you insist on defending right and wrong, you are really not a swordsman!"

More than a dozen swordsmen showed dissatisfaction because of his words, and they all wanted to speak.

Li Wuxiang blinked: "Senior Brother Kong, what you mean by this is that you should not form cliques in the sect. Then, I'm just asking -"

"Of all the senior brothers and sisters here, are there any who are not from Sword Master Cui's lineage?"

The person who was about to speak opened his mouth, looked at each other, and fell silent. At this time, Sword Master Cui stood up on the bamboo chair, glanced at Li Wuxiang, and said, "Kong Xu, don't argue, so as not to hurt the friendship between the same disciples. Let's go."

After he said this, his body suddenly turned into a colorful flying rainbow and flew high into the sky in an instant. Kong Xu looked at Li Wuxiang, opened and closed his mouth, hummed, walked quickly to the bottom of the cliff, and jumped down. The remaining dozen swordsmen also glared at Li Wuxiang, some jumped down, and some walked into the dense forest beside the stone platform together. It was time to go down the mountain along the original path.

When all these people were gone, Sword Master Xiao, who had walked out of the house before, was still in the courtyard. She looked at Li Wuxiang, pursed her lips and smiled: "You have such a powerful mouth. This is the first time I see Sword Master Cui being so angry."

Sword Master Xiao looks slightly younger than Cheng Peixin, not as gorgeous as her, but very gentle. When speaking, his eyebrows were slightly lowered, as if he had a very easy-going temperament.

Her appearance made Li Wuxiang feel a little better in his heart, so he smiled at her. His voice was no longer as jumpy as before, but became gentler and gentler: "I don't know much about Zongli's previous affairs. It's just that I feel uncomfortable when I see a group of people coming to Jiuzhu Peak and blocking the door. There is no reason to lead a group of people into someone else's yard."

Sword Master Xiao smiled again: "I'm not speaking for them - in fact, there are no bad people in the sect."

"Well, I can tell. Otherwise, you wouldn't have left after being bullied by me."

Sword Master Xiao frowned slightly: "Gang?"

"Arrogance - think about it, two people are holding up a pole, and neither of them obeys the other, so they both lift it higher. This is arguing." Li Wuxiang winked at her, "Maybe I was not a human before, but a human being. Where’s the gang spirit?”

Sword Master Xiao was stunned for a while: "Are you really... a stick-up guy?"

Li Wuxiang couldn't help but laugh and cupped his hands to her: "No, no, I was just joking, saying that I am very good at arguing. I used to be a big person."

Sword Master Xiao also laughed again: "I thought it was true. I also thought that I had heard of the bench turning into a spirit and the stubborn stone turning into a spirit. This is the first time I heard that a stick can turn into a spirit."

Her temperament can be called coquettish. Li Wuxiang couldn't help but smile in his heart.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a gust of wind and the sound of pine waves, and a golden light passed through the forest and fell to the ground - the plum palm sword came up the mountain.

As soon as Sword Master Xiao saw her, he immediately smiled again and pointed at Li Wuxiang: "You, Junior Brother Li, are really capable. After a round of words, you drove away Senior Brother Cui and the others. I feel sorry for you right from the beginning. Shanshan is angry. Now it’s better, you don’t have to hide from them all the time.”

Mei Zhangjian looked at Li Wuxiang and was stunned. Li Wuxiang smiled at her: "Sister, have you finished your work?"

"Ah... well, it's done." Mei Zhangjian thought for a while, put his hand into his sleeve, took out a bright red fruit and handed it to him, like a sand fruit, "I'll pick this for you. Only There is it in Youjiuyuan, it is good for you and can replenish your qi and blood."

When Li Wuxiang reached out to take it, he saw some red stains under her nails and couldn't help but think about where she was hiding just now to eat this food: "Thank you, senior sister."

Sword Master Xiao looked at them with a smile, and then calmed down: "Qiu Lu, we have to find a way for Jian Qiu and Mu Yun. When Sword Master Cui was still there just now, I said a few words less, except that Mu Yun might not be able to form pills. But in my opinion, it might be the same as Jian Qiu.”

Mei Zhangjian nodded, sighed and walked into the house. Sword Master Xiao followed up: "Senior Brother Cui didn't take Mu Yun back but put him here with you, probably because he wanted to see this. If the two of them can't be cured, Senior Brother Cui must tell Senior Brother Jiang that he wants you to stay in the sect. Don't go out because you have done your best, and I should be temporarily relieved of your duty to wield the sword until then——"

She turned to look at Li Wuxiang behind her. But Li Wuxiang didn't have the consciousness to avoid taking a few steps, and nodded solemnly: "So Senior Brother Cui still wants to take the last retreat and cross the Silent Sea to go somewhere else, right?"

Sword Master Xiao looked at Mei Qiulu with wide eyes and then at Li Wuxiang: "Okay, have I told you this too? Your senior sister really likes you."

Mei Zhangjian couldn't help but curl his lips slightly: "He is very clear-minded and smart. I like him very much. You two will definitely get along well."

"Okay then - by the way, my name is Xiao Jingyi." She smiled at Li Wuxiang and turned her face away, "Anyway, even if we don't talk about these things, we have to think of a solution. It's a pity for the two of them, they are still so young. I was thinking, do you want to go downstairs to find Wansui? If you can rescue them, this matter will be over."

"It should be gone now. The last time I saw it, I heard from Senior Brother Jiang that it was when he just became the leader of the sect." Mei Zhangjian shook his head and stood down.

The furnishings in the room were simple, similar to the guest house where Lou He lived, with wooden floors and wooden beds. Except for some cabinets against the wall, there were almost no extra furniture.

Zeng Jianqiu and Pan Muyun were lying on the bed, covered with a thin quilt. Both of them were sleeping soundly, exuding the fragrance of medicine and blood. Li Wuxiang looked at the two of them and couldn't help thinking that people close to him seemed to be unlucky. He didn't know if this was what Mei Qiulu said before, that the aura on him was noble, the aura of the kingly way, and therefore he would suppress the people around him.

Mei Zhangjian walked to the side of Zeng Jianqiu's bed and sat down, looking at him, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Li Wuxiang walked a few steps to the side, approached Xiao Jingyi, and asked in a low voice: "Senior sister, what is Wansui? Why haven't I seen it in the world solution collection?"

"The things in the Nether Nine Abyss, the things below." Xiao Jingyi pointed to the ground, "Some things are too rare, so there is no need to write them in the world solution collection. For example, Wansui can restore people's youth and lifespan and refine their qualifications. The two of them are now only that thing can save them."

"Below?"

Xiao Jingyi looked at Mei Qiulu, and seeing that she was still sitting by the bed and looking at Zeng Jianqiu, he pulled Li Wuxiang's sleeve and pulled him out the door.

At this time, the sun was setting more sharply in the west. Looking from the stone platform of Jiuzhu Peak, the sea of ​​clouds in the distance was dyed golden by the sunlight, like a golden ocean. Several isolated peaks floated on this sea of ​​clouds, with cranes and egrets singing around them, and two or three long clouds on the horizon.

Xiao Jing had walked to the edge of the stone platform and sat down, pointing to the bottom of the cliff: "Here. There are still many things here. Most of the natural treasures of our Youjiuyuan are produced here. But it is a very dangerous place... You need a specific step to go there. Otherwise, if you take a few wrong steps, your arm may be a few feet away in the next moment - the bottom and surrounding of Youjiuyuan are such places, so it is difficult for Xuanjiao to enter."

Li Wuxiang immediately thought of his own Ranshan illusion. But since the Ranshan illusion is a page of torn paper in the Netherworld Scroll, it is not strange.

He also sat down on the stone platform and immediately felt the wind coming up from the bottom of the mountain: "Senior Sister Mei said that there is no such thing now - didn't the sect prepare some in the past?"

Xiao Jing had raised his hand to smooth the hair that was blown to his face by the wind, and smiled: "Yes. The sect has it, at least the leader Jiang has it."

He stopped laughing and sighed: "But this thing is very precious, and it will be used less and less. It will not be used to save people. Well, no, it will be used to save people. For example, if you and I, and Kong Xu who was just driven away by you, were seriously injured like that, he would take it out to save us."

"For example, if someone wants to form a pill If they need to use it for a long time, they will also be asked to form a pill. But the two of them... Alas. "

Li Wuxiang nodded slightly: "I understand. Two Qi Refiners, even if they are saved, they are only two Qi Refiners, so it is not worth using."

Xiao Jing turned to smile at him, his eyes were very gentle and calm: "Are you angry? I can see that you are a kind person. But there is nothing I can do. I don't know how Qiu Lu told you about the things in the sect. She actually thinks everyone is good. "

"The sect is indeed much better than the outside world, but it is not a paradise. What may happen in the world, the sect will also have. Like Cui Jian The Lord and his men are good people too. If the Xuan Cult attacks now and you are in danger of losing your life, Cui Jianzhu will definitely save you and will not care about what happened before. "

"But if he thinks he can call you a - a nitpicker? Right?" Xiao Jingyi laughed, "He can call you a nitpicker far away from You Jiuyuan, and throw you to the ends of the earth, and it will take some time for you to come back. He may also watch you suffer. That's it, don't think too bad, and don't think too good. Your Senior Sister Mei just thinks people are too good. "

Li Wuxiang nodded again: "Yeah, I know."

Xiao Jingyi turned his head to look at him seriously, and thought for a while with his face tilted: "You This junior brother is quite strange. "

"Oh? What's strange about me?"

Xiao Jingyi pointed at himself and said, "I am a sword master. Although our sword sect has a different atmosphere, new fellow disciples who come here will always be a little respectful to me when they know that I am a sword master. But I can't see that you have these intentions towards me."

"That's because you, Sword Master Xiao, don't have the airs of a sword master."

"What about Sword Master Cui? You are not polite to him either." Xiao Jingyi said this, touched Li Wuxiang's shoulder with his shoulder, and looked at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, "I think you don't seem to be willing to stay in the sword sect, so you have nothing to fear when you come to You Jiuyuan."

"Qiu Lu told me a little bit about Guangchanzi before. Since you are Qingnangxian, cultivation is both difficult and easy. Maybe you have cultivated to the point where you have formed elixirs, and you feel that there is nothing strenuous in cultivation, so you feel that the world You can go anywhere. But, I heard about you in Coffin City, and now the people from the Six Mysteries Sect will know about you. You will be in a lot of trouble in the future for such an outstanding swordsman."

"Moreover, you can try practicing again these days, and you will find that after forming the elixir, it will be completely different from before." Xiao Jing had stood up and patted Li Wuxiang on the shoulder, "Zongli is doing well. Yes, Qiulu and I both like you very much. You'd better stay here while it's calm, and I'll go and say a few words to her. The two rooms at the back on the left used to be Lou He's, and you lived there. There it is.”

After she took a few steps, Li Wuxiang thought for a while and turned sideways: "Senior Sister Xiao, you too -"

Xiao Jing smiled and winked at him: "I'm not from your lineage, I'm just close to your Jiuzhu Peak."

He is not from this lineage, but he sounds like he is half the master of Jiuzhu Peak. Li Wuxiang turned around and looked at Yunhai again.

The sun was almost setting among the sea of ​​clouds, and the scene in front of us was extremely beautiful. But a thought slowly emerged in his mind - the peace in Youjiuyuan might not last long.

When a possible event is mentioned repeatedly, it means that everyone may have noticed some clues or have reasonable doubts in their hearts - whether they realize it or not.

Mei Zhangjian said that the Xuanjiao might be encircling Youjiuyuan again. Kong Xu said that Meizhangjian was afraid that the Xuanjiao could not find Youjiuyuan. Swordmaster Xiao said, "Let's take advantage of the calm now" - Li Wuxiang Youjiuyuan He didn't know much about Yuan's current situation, but he felt that things might really be going wrong.

Especially now that I am here.

It’s unlikely that people from the Six Mysterious Sect will find themselves here, right?
