I studied abroad in modern times

Chapter 372 Qingxue is ruined, Zheng Fa’s path

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

Mrs. Xuanhua seemed to think of what she saw in the Tongming Mountain Hall that day, and she nodded slowly and sighed in a low voice: "People who are used to living in the Nine Mountains Realm will not be able to adapt to the Supreme Way."

This is not purely a compliment to Jiu Shan Jie.

In fact, the current style of Jiu Shan Realm is gradually deviating from the traditional Xuanwei Sect. Whether an old sect like Taishang Dao is good or not is secondary, but the habits should be very different.

The mortal world of Jiu Shan Realm is now slowly getting on the right track.

When it comes to food, Master Qian’s achievements come one after another, and the recipes of Jiushan disciples are becoming increasingly rich.

When it comes to spiritual materials, the research on the "Golden Elixir Project" has solved an urgent need.

In terms of talent pool, in recent years there have been many children who have become proficient in grammar and have learned arithmetic.

It can be said that the foundation for the great development of Jiu Shan Realm has been gradually solidified, but the changes in the outside world have happened one after another.

The immediate threats are the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor, the distant troubles, and the Leiyin Temple.

This kind of pressure to survive made Zheng Fa start to consider the second path 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 Xuanwei Immortal Sect's style and was incompatible with the original Jiushan Sect.

But Uncle Pang and Mrs. Xuanhua have lived in the Xuanwei world for so many years, so there is nothing they are not used to. Now they actually have a vague desire to join the Supreme Tao.

You know, this is the five Xuanwei sects, the highest-ranking immortal sect in the hearts of Xuanwei monks!

He raised his eyes and looked at the others.

Senior Sister Zhang, the old man, Uncle Pang and Uncle Huang, and Mrs. Xuanhua also looked at him. They all looked at each other and laughed at each other.

Senior Sister Zhang’s eyes shone with joy:

"It seems that we have thought of going together?"

Uncle Huang nodded, with a smile on his face. She was usually expressionless, but her smile at this time was actually very touching.

Master Pang suddenly let out a sigh and said, "When I left the Hundred Immortals Alliance, I thought in my heart that I would no longer be subject to those birds of a feather!"

"Your Majesty, I'm waiting for you. How can I have such a happy life today?"

Everyone talked for a while, but in the end everyone was inclined not to seek refuge in Taishangdao.

Seeing that Zheng Fa was silent, they stopped talking. They just left Senior 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 after a while: "Master, Master, Uncle, they... have finally seen through me."

Zheng Fa still knew how much of Master Uncle Pang's and the others' choices were because he really didn't want to join Taishangdao, and how much was just... understanding his truest thoughts.

He consulted with these people. To be honest, he wanted to hear some objections.

The result is good, each of these people is stronger than the other!

Senior Sister Zhang nodded first, then slowly said: "So we are not suitable to seek refuge in the Supreme Way."

"Um?"

Zheng Fa turned to look at Senior Sister Zhang and heard Senior Sister Zhang say: "Junior brother, you are sincere in nature. In other words, the city is not deep."

Zheng Fa is aware of this.

"Uncle and Master, they can often see through your thoughts..." Senior Sister Zhang paused and said, "This is not a bad thing. Although the world thinks that the mysterious leader is the most powerful, you know everything clearly. , and managed the Nine Mountains Realm very well."

"Master and the others' words are also proof of your ability."

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

"Tai Shang Dao, maybe this is the sect..."

"But more likely, no."

Zheng Fa blinked. What Senior Sister Zhang said was really thorough - whether a person's personality is a good thing or a bad thing is often closely related to the environment. Kindness is a kind of stupidity on the battlefield, and loyalty is... in a notebook... Well, a taste.

His character, to be honest, plays intrigues, intrigues, and plans. If he doesn't say whether he is willing or not, he is afraid that he will be played to death.

Senior Sister Zhang saw his expression change and then said:

"Junior brother, what you are good at is using facts to impress people, using everyone's wisdom to solve problems, and leading a sect to grow slowly."

"Joining an old-fashioned Xuanwei sect is not suitable for you, it is not suitable for me, and it is not suitable for today's Jiushan Realm."

"What's more, who said that the Supreme Way does not covet the quiet bamboo, hibiscus wood... and the "Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method"?"

Zheng Fa fell into silence. What Senior Sister Zhang said was not profound, but it hit the most important point - in a traditional Xuanwei Immortal Sect environment, whether Zheng Fa or the Nine Mountains Realm, still want to follow Zheng Fa's example The growth of Dharma's mind is a luxury.

It's hard to say whether taking refuge in Taishangdao can solve the current troubles - at least the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor is now fighting to the death with him.

But there are bound to be new troubles.

"Sister, you mean..."

"We'll talk about it after we fight!" Determination flashed across Senior Sister Zhang's face, "How about the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor? It's not like I haven't seen him last time."

"There is Qingjing Bamboo, there is hibiscus wood that has taken shape, and now there is Qingping Sword to help..."

"Are we weaker than last time?"

Zheng Fa nodded slowly. Senior Sister Zhang had different personalities from him. He was relatively conservative and often showed mercy to his enemies.

But Senior Sister Zhang... She is a traditional Xuanwei genius. Fighting across ranks is 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 Emperor 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 he has to rely on...

Thank you Qingxue for your efforts!

…

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 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, so 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 and seemed 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 more than a golden elixir...Jiushan Sect itself doesn't even have the ability to transform into gods. Now that there is an opportunity to join the Supreme Way, he would refuse..."

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_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)

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 enemies. , 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 **** 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 Tianhe disciples, 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 from other places. Merchants were visiting 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 imparted 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 is 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 passed by." Zheng Fa pointed at the children playing in the classroom and said, "I put my hope on my own hands, and... on 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 Pill 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 all 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".
