Chapter 272: Jiulian's Dilemma in Volume B, Watching with Cold Eyes
After a while, Guo Chongdao noticed the pretty girl behind Chen Huaisheng, who was tall, slender and low-brow, and raised his eyebrows: "Huaisheng, this is... ...? "
The ambiguous relationship between Chen Huaisheng and Fang Baoqi has long been spread.
The Fang twins were also famous among the Chonghua sect twenty years ago, but the Fang brothers and sisters slowed down after they advanced to the middle stage of Qi refining.
This is also normal. When you are young, it may not be better to be older. This kind of thing is very common in any industry. It can even be said that the chance of being smart and flourishing is higher than that of being smart since childhood.
So later on, the Fang brothers and sisters actually performed very well, but they fell behind in the eyes of everyone.
Although the Fang siblings seem to be lagging behind, they are still at the fifth level of Qi Refining and can still stand firm in the Chuan Gong Academy.
However, Fang Baoyu died in the battle of Tianzhai. Fang Baoqi became disheartened and went out to travel, gradually fading out of public view.
It wasn’t until Chen Huaisheng stayed out of the Shangyuan Taoist Association at night that the core members of the sect vaguely learned that Chen Huaisheng was actually with Fang Baoqi.
You must know that Fang Baoqi is more than ten years older than Chen Huaisheng. Although the huge age difference in the spiritual world is not surprising, generally speaking, men are older than women, even if they are thirty or fifty years older. It's nothing, but if a woman is much older than a man, it's easy for people to think in a bad direction.
It is unclear whether the two became Taoist couples, but Chen Huaisheng and Fang Baoqi both advanced to the sixth level of Qi Refining, which made You Shaoyou and Wu Tianen, who had previously complained about the two of them being together, no longer keep silent.
Young admiration, romantic and suave, these mundane stories are not uncommon in the world of cultivation, but all of them must be under the premise of diligent practice.
Chen Huaisheng has proved with his performance that being together with Fang Baoqi is beneficial to his practice, so that is not a problem.
It’s just that many sect elders and fellow disciples who are familiar with Chen Huaisheng know that Tong Tong seems to have a close relationship with him in the sect, and he can come to the Chonghua Sect but he is also a genius in the Jiulian Sect. Recommended by the girl Xuan Chimei, the story inside is so complicated that it dazzled many people, including Guo Chongdao.
It's better now, another one comes out.
Chen Huaisheng had thought about it before he came.
He needs to give a name to the other party's identity.
Taoist couple? impossible.
Escort? It seems too early now.
Maid? I feel a little wronged to the other party.
Preparing disciples? It seems possible, and such an identity with an uncertain future is most suitable.
Chen Huaisheng is not qualified to accept a disciple yet. If he wants to accept a disciple, he needs special approval from the headmaster and the Presbyterian Council and the Deacon Council. It is not impossible, but Chen Huaisheng has never thought about accepting a disciple.
In sects, it is common for disciples to become Taoist companions and attendants, and a large number of them even evolve from disciples to Taoist companions and attendants.
So the identity of a preparatory disciple who has not yet been formally determined is most appropriate.
"Senior Brother Guo, this is a disciple that I am optimistic about for the sect. After returning from this trip, I will bring him into the sect." Chen Huaisheng stepped aside: "Qingyu, I came here to see Senior Brother Guo. Senior Brother Guo was my elder when I first entered the academy. He was very kind to me from the Youzhiyuan of Chuan Gong Academy. Senior Brother Guo helped me a lot to be where I am today.”
Min Qingyu hurried over to greet him.
She did come to Da Zhao a few years ago, but she only visited Wei County, which is close to the river, and never set foot in Bianjing.
Following Chen Huaisheng into the city today, she was fascinated by the bustling city.
The prosperous market in Bianliang is certainly desirable, but the prosperity of the cultivation world in Bianliang makes her even more excited.
Along the way, Chen Huaisheng also pointed out several sects and aristocratic families that he had only heard about from his father's mouth, such as the Tianyun Sect and the Huaxi Sword Sect, as well as the official Zhao family and another sect, the Shi family. .
Looking at the disciples of those sects and aristocratic families coming in and out of the archway, it feels a bit like they are building foundations all over the place, and there are as many high-ranking people as dogs.
She even saw a Zifu Xianqing casually dressed walking out of the Huaxi Jianzong Archway. This was the first time in her life that she had seen a real person from Zifu.
This is simply unimaginable in Hebei.
The person in front of him should be at a high level in qi refining, and Chen Huaisheng respects him very much. It is obvious that he is also a big figure in the Chonghua Sect.
"Well, the qualifications are pretty good." Guo Chongdao glanced at Min Qingyu and nodded: "Since you want to be introduced to the door, you will be yours. It is the first time we meet. Senior brother, I don't have any gifts. She practices The realm is still shallow, these are five bottles of Zuoyuan Dan, which must be of great help to his future practice..." There were three bottles of Zuoyuan Dan in the first hand, but his treatment was much better than that of himself. Wu Tianen only gave him one bottle when he first met him. Zuo Yuandan, three talismans, and now Min Qingyu has received such a generous gift. It is obvious that Guo Chongdao also cares about his own face.
Min Qingyu didn’t know if he should accept it for a while.
She didn't know what Zuoyuan Pill was, but she could guess that it was a pill used in the Chonghua Sect's practice, and it all showed that it was of great benefit to her current practice, and she felt excited in her heart.
The gap between clans and practicing sects and aristocratic families is reflected in many aspects. First, the lack of inherited skills, which is the most critical; second, the lack of auxiliary skills, such as planting high-level spiritual plants and making talismans. , such as refining elixirs, these backgrounds are simply not available to ordinary clans.
The Min family is ranked high among the Fuyang Taoist clans, but there are only a few books of exercises, and there are almost no auxiliary methods. They lack medicinal elixirs and spiritual plants, and there are no correct exercises. , no matter how talented you are, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Now Min Qingyu finally felt the huge difference between clan and sect.
"Take it, Senior Brother Guo is an enthusiastic person." Chen Huaisheng nodded, and Min Qingyu quickly thanked him before accepting it.
"This Zuoyuan Pill is very effective. From today on, you will divide one pill into three parts and take one part every day for half a year. Maybe you can break through the third level of Qi refining?..."
Chen Huaisheng joked with a smile.
"Ah? Taoist master, really?" Min Qingyu was ecstatic and couldn't help but hold three bottles of elixirs and look at Chen Huaisheng with wide eyes.
"Fake." Chen Huaisheng couldn't help teasing the other party.
“Huh?!” Min Qingyu was dumbfounded. Is it fake? Deceiving yourself?
"Maybe it will take less than half a year, but three months." Chen Huaisheng said with a smile.
Watching Chen Huaisheng flirting with this woman, Guo Chongdao couldn't help but shake his head, it's great to be young.
After leaving Min Qingyu happy, Chen Huaisheng and Guo Chongdao entered into a formal dialogue.
"The commander has retreated to attack the Zi Mansion. It is estimated that he will go to find the secret realm to deal with the disaster in a year..."
Guo Chongdao nodded.
This is what it should be.
The Chonghua Sect suffered heavy losses from the Baishi Gate, and even the foundation of the gate was lost, making everyone realize that the lack of hard power was the original sin.
Now they have to survive in the unfamiliar land of Hebei, surrounded by tigers and wolves. Without more than three Zifu lineups, it will be difficult for the Chonghua Sect to gain a foothold in Hebei.
"There are many secret places in Hebei, but Master Master is going to face the disaster in Hebei?" Guo Chongdao asked.
“Not necessarily, it depends on the situation.” Chen Huaisheng shook his head, “The next three years should be a period of time for our Chonghua Sect to hide its power and bide its time to accumulate strength. I am afraid that the sect will not be able to do so until the Master Master enters Deng Zi Mansion. Once things stabilize, Brother Guo in Bianjing will probably have to keep a low profile and worry more."
Guo Chongdao also sighed, "The Jiulian Sect has done a lot of harm to people. It's not just us who are in such a difficult situation now, but also Ling Yun. The sect is in danger. Almost every month, people from the Lingyun Sect come to the capital to complain to the Jiulian Sect and ask for support and help from the Jiulian Sect. But now the Jiulian Sect..."
Seeing Guo Chongdao keep shaking his head, Chen Huaisheng endured it. He kept asking: "It is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others. Lingyun Sect is still counting on Jiulian Sect at this time, which is a bit ignorant of current affairs. If Jiulian Sect really has this strength, it will not let our two families move north. Although I still don’t know what happened to the Jiulian Sect, but I can conclude that the Jiulian Sect is now worried about being overwhelmed, and the situation will get worse.”
Guo Chongdao was surprised and asked quickly. Said: "Huai Sheng, why do you say that?"
From the expression on Guo Chongdao's face, Chen Huaisheng could tell that some of his guesses were probably correct, and the Jiulian Sect was probably in trouble now.
“I have been thinking that our Chonghua Sect and Lingyun Sect are hiding in Yinan, which does not affect who they provoke. Why are Baishimen and Nanchu Zijin Sect targeting us? I don’t know the situation of Zijin Sect. It is clear, but the power of Baishimen is expanding so fast, and it is impossible without anyone behind it. If this is the case, there must be a big plan, but Langling is a small government, and compared with Dang State and Songzhou, no matter what resources it has. They are incomparable to each other, and with the strength of Baishimen, we can directly take over Huanzhen Sect and annex Dang State and Songzhou. And we still have Jiulian Sect as an ally behind us. Why would Jiulian Sect want to support us? Is it unreasonable for Baishimen to take risks and sacrifice the near for the sake of poverty? "
Guo Chongdao frowned: "Huaisheng, you mean that Xiang Zhuang dances with Peigong?"< br>
“It’s hard to say, but that’s how I see it anyway. By doing this, they not only cut off the wings of the Jiulian Sect, but also damaged the prestige and image of the Jiulian Sect. I’m afraid it also aggravated the chaos and disagreements within the Jiulian Sect. , Originally there were various conflicts within the Jiulian Sect, but now that such a big situation has arisen, it will definitely be difficult to unify opinions. After we move north, we will not be able to support the Jiulian Sect at all. For example, the Lingyun Sect often comes to Beijing to cause trouble for the Jiulian Sect. They must have deeper internal conflicts and more complaints and accusations against each other. The Jiulian Sect is probably in trouble now. "
Chen Huaisheng's judgment was as if he had seen the current situation of the Jiulian Sect in Beijing with his own eyes. Guo Chongdao was amazed.
"Huaisheng, you are right. The situation of Jiulian Sect is very bad now. Many sects already feel that maybe Jiulian Sect may fall out of the top ten in the next Dao meeting." Guo Chongdao sighed: "Internally, they The contradictions are so deep that the conflicts between the Demon Lotus Sect, Jing Fu Sect, and Yuan He Sect are almost not covered up, and have become an open secret in the capital. I think it won't be long before the Nine Lotus Sect may be disintegrated. ”
