Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Under the Songzhu Peak, Dongfang Jing opened his eyes wide and asked in confusion: "Why do you suddenly want him to go to Tianlongyuan? No matter from any point of view, he is not a suitable candidate to pretend to be Mingwu. Zhang Zhikong has reached the Huang Guan level.  , if Tianlongyuan pays a little attention, he will be able to know the inside story, and this alone is enough to put him into eternal disaster!"

    Dongfang Li smiled slightly: "Junior brother, please be patient. I just had a chat with him."

    "I am just joking?"

    "Yes, I just talked to him casually, but he refused."

    "Of course he will refuseSenior brother, what do you mean? We agreed to ask him to go to Xia Kingdom to act as a backstop. Why did you suddenly change your mind and ask him to replace Ming Wu?"

    Dongfang Li waved his hand: "Junior brother, don't worry, listen to me. With Zhao Zhiran's temperament, you and I have estimated before that he is probably unwilling to do this hidden stake. He is life-saving. If he puts it forward directly,  He probably won't agree."

    Dongfang Jing frowned and said: "He is not from Sanqing Pavilion, so it is normal for him not to agree. It is not easy to force him. The essence and blood of the Black Armored Turtle must be given. If Master Cai knows that I take this matter as a condition  , he definitely can¡¯t agree.¡±

    Dongfang Li said: "Master Cai, please keep it a secret for now. Don't worry. He will not be able to come out of seclusion for ten days and a half to refine alchemy this time. Junior brother, you and Zhao Zhiran have some friendship. I understand this. You want to protect him, so do I."  I understand, but he is indeed a good young man who wants to go to the Xia Kingdom to serve as a backstop. It would be a pity not to go, and I can¡¯t bear it. First of all, he knows a lot about the Xia Kingdom, and he also knows a lot about Buddhism. Secondly, he knows a lot about the Xia Kingdom.  , Pei Zhongze of Qingyun Pavilion also said that most of the credit for being able to escape from Xia Kingdom lies with Zhao Zhiran. Think about it, when he fell into Xia Kingdom, he had no cultivation at all. Is his cultivation now any worse than before?  ?Furthermore, in just five years, he has gone from being a farmer's boy with nothing to being the leader of a temple. His cleverness is not something that ordinary people can possess."

    Dongfang Jing shook his head and said, "That doesn't mean he is a suitable candidate"

    Dongfang Li asked back: "Why not? Okay, junior brother, let me ask you a different question, what is Zhao Zhiran's greatest strength?"

    Dongfang Jing opened his mouth, but suddenly he didn't know how to answer this question.

    Dongfang Li said: "Is it cultivation? Is it Taoism? Is it basic skills or qualifications? Is it a dignified appearance or full of talents? Is it proud and eloquent? Or something else"

    Dongfang Jing: ""

    "Can't answer? Then why does such a person with no merits come into your eyes, junior brother?"

    ""

    Dongfang Li smiled and asked: "One more question, apart from his bones, what are Zhao Zhiran's shortcomings? He is a great traitor and evil? Can't distinguish right from wrong? His cultivation is unworthy? His Taoist skills are extremely poor? His appearance and behavior are unsightly? Actually?  Even his biggest shortcoming, that is, the abnormality of his bones, does not seem to be that bad. How many years has he entered the cultivation threshold? But I look at his cultivation, and his magic power in the Taoist realm is almost perfect. What do you think?  Is it strange?¡±

    ""

    "Like my junior brother, I can't find Zhao Zhiran's obvious shortcomings. When I think about it, even I wonder, why do I think a person with no shortcomings is ordinary?"

    ""

    "I haven't had much contact with Zhao Zhiran before, but today's conversation made me feel very happy, like a spring breeze, and I said a lot of things without realizing it. But when I thought about it carefully just now, I really couldn't remember what he was.  What did he say - except that he refused to go undercover in Tianlongyuan. Since junior brother and he have known each other, have you felt the same way?"

    Dongfang Jing thought about it for a moment and had to nod and admit: "Indeed."

    Dongfang Li said: "It would be a waste for such a person not to serve as a backstop in the Xia Kingdom!"

    Dongfang Jing was silent for a moment and said, "But he will still refuse. As I said just now, he cherishes his life."

    Dongfang Li said: "I know. In the conversation just now, he should be able to hear my implicit meaning. If you want to get the essence and blood of the Black Armored Turtle, you have to go to Tianlongyuan - of course I didn't say it explicitly, because this condition does not hold.  If I really do this, Uncle Cai will definitely not be able to spare me. Although he refused, I know that the essence and blood of the Black Armored Turtle is very tempting to him, but it is not enough to make him take risks Then I added  Ichijo, tell him that Buddhism has a method that can solve the problem of abnormal bones once and for all"

    "What technique?"

    "The wheel-turning method of life in Jialan Temple."

    Dongfang Jing was startled and asked hurriedly: "Senior brother, have you found out the details of such a technique?"

    Dongfang Li shook his head: "How can it be so easy? It's just a starting point."

    Dongfang Jing said displeasedly: "Senior brother, you shouldn't trick him."

    Dongfang Li said: "Junior brother, don't be upset. I'm just telling the truthbut I always have an intuition that the fate of finding the wheel of life is really going to fall on him. This is what I want to do."  The reason why he went to Xia Kingdom. Having said that, there are two reasons, and I believe Zhao Zhiran will weigh them carefully in the next few days. So I first offered him to replace Ming Wu, but he refused as expected. After two days, I  If we lower the conditions and don't let him replace Ming Wu, let him act as a hidden stake to cooperate with Ming Wu, and settle for the next best thing, maybe he will agree."

    Dongfang Jing shook his head: "Senior brother, why are you putting so much effort into him? It's not like Zhao Zhiran is the only one who can do the hidden stakes."

    Dongfang Li sighed: "I didn't put so much thought into it originally, but the more I get to know him, the more I feel that he is a good seedling. It would be a pity not to cultivate him."

    "He still won't agree if the guarantee is not complete."

    "There is nothing we can do about it. We can only replenish his essence and let him go down the mountain. Jiang Tenghe of Huayun Pavilion is not someone to be trifled with. Now that he has broken through the realm and been promoted to a refiner, he will not dare to offend him."

    The two brothers chatted for a while, then Dongfang Li left, while Dongfang Jing went up the mountain to meet Zhao Ran.  When he met Zhao Ran, he was still a little unnatural. He was afraid that Zhao Ran would ask him about the matter. He thought hard about how to deal with it on the way. However, after meeting, Zhao Ran did not mention the matter and just said goodbye to him.  They talked happily, which made Dongfang Jing breathe a sigh of relief.

    Zhao Ran asked about Master Cai and said he wanted to visit him. Dongfang Jing said that Master Cai was refining elixirs in seclusion and needed to postpone for a while so that he could see him when he came out of seclusion.

    Zhao Ran thought to himself, could he be refining elixirs for me that can replenish my essence?  Therefore, there was a little more expectation in my heart, but it also added a lot of entanglement - I had already refused to go to Xia Kingdom Tianlong Academy to pretend to be Zhang Zhikong, how could I ask for the elixir then?

    After staying on Songzhu Peak for a few days, Dongfang Li came to see Zhao Ran again. This time he did not ask Zhao Ran to replace Zhang Zhikong's "Ming Wu" identity, but put forward another condition.

    "It's okay if Junior Brother Zhao doesn't want to go to Tianlongyuan, we will find someone else to take his place"

    "I'm really sorry. I didn't want to, but I was really afraid that I would mess up my job. Last time I escaped from Xia Kingdom, many monks saw me along the way. Although I now have a thicker beard and hair, and my appearance has changed, I can't say  There are some venomous ones among those monks, and if I meet them, I will feel really guilty."

    "Junior brother, your worries are unnecessary. Even if you have seen him before, so what? Who can say that you are not Mingwu? Not many Buddhists have seen Mingwu."

    "But I still feel guilty, and I am also a member of the Junshan Temple"

    "Who can say that the Junshan Temple Festival is not a Mingwu? Okay, okay, Junior Brother Zhao actually doesn't have to worry. This matter is purely voluntary. It's up to Junior Brother whether to go or not, and I can't force Junior Brother."

    "So, thank you so much, senior brother. I really feel bad about it, haha"

    "Since Junior Brother feels sorry for me, I have another matter here. I wonder if I can trouble Junior Brother?"

    "Oh? Please tell me, senior brother, as long as I can do it, I will do my best!"

    Dongfang Li clasped his palms together and praised: "I know that junior brother is not a person who is afraid of difficulties and dangers!"

    As soon as Zhao Ran heard this, some hope suddenly ignited in his heart, thinking that there might be another chance to make up for the essence?  He said hurriedly: "This is natural! Senior brother, please give me your instructions."

    "We will look for someone to replace Zhang Zhikong. Once we find a suitable candidate, we will send him to Tianlongyuan. But I have been in Xia Kingdom for twenty years, and I feel that it is not easy to do things. Many times I often lament that it is difficult to work alone. Junior brother, you have been to Xia Kingdom,  We are relatively familiar with Buddhism. We plan to send several people to the Xia Kingdom at the same time and secretly cooperate with Mingwu when necessary Well, maybe after we go, we can come back without anything happening. It's easy and safe.  An stable, I wonder if junior brother is willing to join in?"

    Zhao Ran thought about it and asked: "How long do I need to go to Xia Kingdom? Senior brother, you know, I am still praying at the Junshan Temple. I am afraid that if I go for a long time, I will slack off on the affairs of the temple."

    Dongfang Li chuckled and said, "It doesn't take long. It can take as little as three months and as long as half a year. As long as we build a few hidden lines, we can return to the Ming Dynasty."
