Immortal in my old age, I will live forever

Chapter 181 219: Giving someone a city, Chen Baimao is afraid of his potential? (addition for monthly pass)
a few days later.

Following the Jindan Elder Wen Liyan of the Zongmen Inspection Hall, he suddenly visited Chen Dengming's cave in person, and then went to the caves of Jindan Elder Hu Zai and Jindan Elder Guan Chao respectively.

Even many fake pills such as Yang Zidao, Miao Fei, Sang Tianrong, and even the old man Wu from the Hall of Contributions, as well as the monks who established the foundation in the door, were also taken away by the monks of the inspection hall for interrogation.

For a while, many gossip gradually began to spread in the Longevity Sect.

"Hey, have you heard that Uncle Chen is suspected of bribing many elders in the sect, as well as many fake pills and foundations in the sect, as if to canvass votes. This method, tsk tsk, is it too despicable?"

"Is this considered cheating to solicit votes? Why bother? With Martial Uncle Chen's reputation and strength, there is no need to use these methods."

"That's right, look at the other candidates, why haven't they done this kind of operation? The people sent from Changchun down there are a little..."

Some monks who were queuing up outside the Hall of Internal Affairs were discussing. After the topic spread, many disciples in the sect who originally wanted to vote for Chen Dengming hesitated.

At this time, the two monks who were going to vote for Chen Dengming in front of the team also hesitated, and one of them sighed and said to the notary deacon.

"I, I vote for Martial Uncle Rao Ling Rao."

Seeing this, another monk on the opposite side wanted to vote for Chen Dengming, but now he sighed, "I'll vote for Uncle Hua."

A subtle influence began to gradually brew among the crowd.

Once people's hearts change, a certain state of blind obedience will be broken.

It's like pouring a basin of cold water on the heads of a group of enthusiastic people, which makes some fanatics wake up instantly.

Small means are also the easiest to pry out big problems at this time.

However, at this moment, there was a faint voice of dispute among the crowd behind.

A monk with white hair on his temples was arguing with the few people who had spoken earlier.

"What are you talking about? You said that Mr. Chen's bribery is just bribery? Has the inspection hall issued a real announcement now? Has the investigation been clear?

I can say you are slanderous.

May I ask who has just joined the sect, but anyone with some communication skills will not go to visit the brothers and sisters in the neighbors to give some greeting gifts. Have you ever invited the brothers to drink in private?
Do you have no friends? "

The monk on the other side also blushed and had a thick neck, and shouted, "You are a mess, can this be compared with us?

We didn't campaign for longevity, so what's the matter with inviting some brothers to drink?That is not utilitarian.

What's more, he also gave gifts to the elders. Can this be said to be a reminiscence and friendship? "

"Can't it be respecting the old, loving the young and being filial?"

The white-haired friar immediately retorted, "You said you were utilitarian. As far as I know from my inquiries, many of Mr. Chen's actions happened two or three years ago. Could it be that at that time, he knew that he was going to be selected as a candidate for longevity? That It's time to build a good relationship?

If that counts as bribery, then each of us has been bribed.

A few years later, when we can also elect long-lived candidates, can things that happened decades ago be revealed? "

"Bai Mao, are you looking for trouble? Can this be confused? Are you still not clear about whether you can become a candidate for longevity?
Besides, you already voted a few days ago, why are you here again? "

"Silence! There is no room for noisy and quarreling in front of the Internal Affairs Hall."

When several people were arguing, a deacon came forward to calm down the scene.

However, the debate between the two sides made many monks who were disappointed with Chen Dengming gradually react.

Yes.

Who would not take the initiative to make friends with seniors when they first joined the sect, can this be called bribery?
This is just for the sake of gaining a firm foothold and pretending to be familiar.

It's just that for ordinary monks, this is simple sophistication.

For an arrogance like Uncle Chen, this kind of sophistication will be magnified and become a problem in the sensitive period of the current campaign.

But if you go back to a few years ago, who can say that Senior Brother Chen is bribing.

He couldn't have expected that he would be selected as a long-lived candidate a few years later.

Thinking about it from another angle, don't other candidates have these worldly behaviors in the past?
So in this sensitive period, Chen Dengming was suddenly investigated. Is it a coincidence or some people's instigation with ulterior motives, who is in the best interest?

Many Longevity Sect disciples are not fools either.

After being awakened by the words of the white-haired friar at this moment, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

Sometimes what happens in front of you may not be true, and the inspection hall has not issued an announcement yet.

There is a saying - let the flying sword fly again.

For a while, some monks who wanted to vote for Chen Dengming chose to vote for Chen Dengming firmly.

Based on Chen Dengming's usual approachable and modest performance, they felt that Uncle Chen was not that kind of person.

A person's humility can be pretended, but if he can pretend for a few years from joining the sect to the present, it can be regarded as true humility.

At least except for Uncle Chen, I have never seen a fake Dan Daxiu meet a Qi training disciple on the road and greet him with a smile and bow in return.

Even Master Hua Hua Zhenyu, who had a good reputation, never had one at all.

This can be regarded as the word-of-mouth accumulated by Chen Dengming for many years, and now it is officially fermented.

Except for some who insisted on voting for Chen Dengming, some chose to wait and see for the time being, waiting for the news from the inspection hall to be announced.

Only a few disciples who had originally followed blindly chose to vote for other candidates after hesitation.

After Brother Baimao made such a fuss, it seemed that by accident, Hua Zhenyu's carefully planned plan had weakened the bad influence on Chen Dengming by a lot.

When Hua Zhenyu learned of this situation, he was naturally quite annoyed, and secretly wrote down the name of the white-haired monk, Yu Baozhong.

"Brother Hua, what should we do now? Do you want to continue?"

In the sound transmission jade talisman, a person's spiritual consciousness came out.

Hua Zhenyu took a deep breath, his face regained his composure, and said.

"Forget it, the risk of exposure is too great if you continue, so let's stop.

After all, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Well-designed things will always face all kinds of accidents, because an individual is all variables. How can it be possible to take care of all the variables?

Although the current effect is not the best, it can be regarded as breaking the blind obedience effect of these ordinary disciples.

Next, even if Chen Dengming's number of votes increases, it will not snowball, and he is far ahead."

After speaking, Hua Zhenyu put away the sound transmission jade charm.

Overall, he actually succeeded in this incident.

As long as Chen Dengming's siphon effect can be broken, there will not be much difference in the number of votes between him and Chen Dengming.

And more deacons voting in the future will gradually close the gap between the two of them.

Unsurprisingly, due to the impact of this incident, the two elders who had a good relationship with Chen Dengming, Guan Chao and Gong Shuzai, would also give up their voting rights in order to avoid suspicion.

In this way, in the voting process, it is very likely that he will be No.1 in the lead.

"Chen Baimao puts aside his strength. He is not as good as me in other aspects, such as connections, qualifications, and potential. Especially the potential link, which is to test the spiritual root and longevity."

"He is Xiangke Linggen, even if it is a top-rank Linggen, it is not as good as my top-rank single Linggen. Shouyuan potential, he Chen Baimao is called Baimao, let alone Baimao
The key is...in terms of strength, how can we compete against Chen Dengming, or...at least the loss is not so ugly, and the performance is stronger than others? "

This is the only problem that gives Hua Zhenyu a headache.

In other respects, you can play some tricks.

But hard power, this is the real deal, there is no fancy, no tricks.

"It seems that I have to go to the Magic Cave to study again."

a few days later.

The news of the inspection hall's interrogation was announced, and it was announced that Chen Dengming had indeed given gifts to the door and entertained many brothers and sisters.

However, most of the incidents happened a few years ago, and only one banquet happened recently. It cannot constitute a direct bribery and canvassing relationship with the Changshouzhong election, and there is only a certain indirect connection.

Therefore, it is confirmed that Chen Dengming did not intend to bribe, but in order to maintain the fairness of the election, he will cancel the voting rights of some elders and disciples.

"Junior brother, this way of handling is still said to maintain fairness? Isn't this too unfair?
Since it has been proved that you have not bribed, you should no longer restrict other people's voting rights. If you are said to be innocent and punished, what is this? "

In the cave mansion, He Yingyu was pretty and full of indignation, pacing in the cave mansion angrily.

On the contrary, Chen Dengming was very calm. He sprinkled the spirit rice with a smile, fed the spirit fish in the cave pond, watched the spirit fish vying for food, and said calmly.

"Senior sister, the inspection hall didn't say that this is a punishment. It only said that it was for the sake of maintaining fairness. Don't think that we are being punished."

He Yingyu said angrily, "Junior brother, you don't have a temper at this time."

Chen Dengming smiled lightly, "If you have a temper at this time, you will be regarded as a low-level person.

From the very beginning, we have already expected that this is just a small trick, and the facts are in front of us, and the other party has already calculated us in this regard one step ahead of us.

Instead of being exhausted in trying to see and dismantle tricks, and getting stuck in internal friction, it is better to send him to this city, to consolidate other achievements, and to crush the conspiracy with overt schemes. "

He Yingyu, "Yangmou?"

Chen Dengming said calmly, "Yangmou is strength, and this is also where the other party dare not confront me head-on, so they can only start from other aspects.

Therefore, when the investigation by the inspection hall came, I confessed openly that I had nothing to say to others.

At this time, the best way to get out is to cut through the mess quickly, let the inspection hall issue an announcement quickly, and prevent public opinion from fermenting.

The inspection hall did not disappoint me, it seems that Elder Wen is not partial.

The news announced today seems to be unfavorable to us, but in fact it is just the usual tactic of calming down some disciples and hitting [-] big boards each. "

He Yingyu said unwillingly, "But in this way, junior brother, you will lose the votes of two elders. The number of votes for one elder is equivalent to [-] votes for ordinary qi training disciples."

Chen Dengming sprinkled all the fish and food in his hands, and said with a free and easy smile, "Senior sister, since we have agreed to send a city out, why bother?
Even if the voting fails, it is not a complete failure. In the end, it is still necessary to integrate the performance of all links.

This voting is to compare people's connections and harmony.

Although we have good connections, after all, we have only been here for a few years. How can we compare with others who have been in business for decades? "

"But Junior Brother, in terms of qualifications, you are even more unable to take the top spot. Maybe you can only take the momentum of killing two golden pills in a row and rank third."

"Then try to turn things around in terms of final strength and potential."

Chen Dengming turned around slowly.

In a majestic face, embedded with a pair of eyes brighter than the shining gemstones in the deep black ocean, the white hair on the temples smiled confidently without wind.

"Although I'm used to being humble, it doesn't mean I'm completely heartless. The advantage in strength and potential is something they can't shake, and it's something they want to avoid as much as possible."

Even though Chen Dengming wasn't angry on the surface, it was impossible to say that he wasn't annoyed at all when he was put on the table with mental arithmetic or unintentional.

However, he has always been able to calmly think and control his emotions when he is angry, so that he does not let the anger go to his head and make more wrong decisions. Instead, he escapes, stays out of the authorities, and continues to take other actions that are beneficial to himself as an outsider .

This is the habit and disposition he has accumulated over the years.

But in the past few years, with the continuous sublimation and improvement of the state of mind, it seems that he can control his emotions with a strong mind and demonstrate a strong spiritual cultivation.

At this time, He Yingyu also calmed down.

When it comes to strength and potential, she is naturally full of confidence in Chen Dengming.

Immediately, Lianbu approached slowly and said, "Junior brother, the part of competing for strength is easy to talk about, it is nothing more than fighting against other candidates.

But with this potential, have you communicated specific information with Patriarch Qiu? "

Chen Dengming looked up at the entrance of the cave, looked at the empty nest of swallows outside the eaves, and said with a smile.

"It's roughly clear. It should test potential from three aspects."

"Which three aspects?"

"The first is naturally the spiritual root;

The second is Shouyuan potential;
The third one seems to be related to the Taoism of the Celestial Immortals. The specific details can only be understood but cannot be explained in words. It seems to be recognized by the Taoism of the Celestial Immortals. "

"Oh?"

He Yingyu's heart tightened, she snuggled into Chen Dengming's arms, twisted a strand of white hair from his sideburns, and said with a frown.

"Junior brother, your longevity potential"

Chen Dengming laughed and didn't communicate too much in this regard.

Shouyuan, the more he practiced spells, the longer his life span would be.

In this regard, you can hug the buddha's feet temporarily, seize the time to practice some techniques that are about to break through, and improve your lifespan.

...

at this time.

With the announcement of the inspection hall.

Many disciples who had been waiting and watching also cast their votes one after another.

Chen Dengming still maintains the lead in the number of support votes.

But at the same time, many sect deacons and Foundation Establishment disciples have also started to vote.

There are more than 400 deacons and foundation disciples in the Longevity Sect, and each person casts one vote, which is equivalent to fifty votes cast by ordinary Qi training disciples.

Among the more than 400 people, nearly two-fifths voted for Hua Zhenyu, another two-fifths voted for Tan Siyan and the other three, and only one-fifth voted for Chen Dengming or is abstained.

For a while, Hua Zhenyu, who ranked second, gradually caught up with Chen Dengming in the number of votes, and finally the two were almost tied.

It was also at this time that Ran Yiqiang, the elder in charge of the Hall of Merit of the Longevity Sect, directly announced the ranking of the seniority link.

Hua Zhenyu has completed 130 missions for four times and won the evaluation of two second-class missions, ranking first in qualifications.

Tan Siyan completed 120 and [-] times of duty performance tasks, and won the evaluation of a second-level task, ranking second in qualifications.

Chen Dengming has completed three duty performance tasks, won the evaluation of a second-class task and two top-ranking tasks, and his qualifications are ranked third.

Huyan Shunbin and Rao Ling ranked fourth and fifth respectively. They have performed their duties hundreds of times, and what they lack is the evaluation of second-level tasks.

This qualification link is simple and clear, and it cannot be mixed with water. The more tasks completed, or the more A-level evaluations, the higher the gold content.

Once discharged.

The Longevity race directly entered the third link, the link of competing for strength.

This is also a link that many disciples of the Longevity Sect have been looking forward to and looking forward to.

Among the disciples of the Longevity Sect, many of them do not like to fight bravely and fiercely, and are eager to win.

But it doesn't prevent them from enjoying the fun and watching others fight.

Especially after his own sect unexpectedly produced a Tianjiao who overwhelmed Tiandaozong and Shujiange, this inexplicably excited sense of anticipation became even stronger...
