80s Taoism

When Zhang Jiaohua walked into the secret realm, Wei Chenguang hurried over.

"Master, you are here." Wei Chenguang seemed relieved.

"What? What happened in the secret realm?" Looking at Wei Chenguang, Zhang Jiaohua thought that something happened in the secret realm.

"It's not caused by the spirit spring. The spirit spring is about to dry up. People in the secret realm are unstable now. If the spirit spring dries up, many people will leave." Wei Chenguang said.

"Those who can't be kept, let them go if they want to. It's useless for Meishan Sect to keep such people here. To develop our Meishan Sect, we ultimately have to rely on our own people. Talents are rare, so you should pay more attention. We don't expect to catch up with the three holy places right now. So the development of the sect takes its time. Soldiers are more expensive than elites." Zhang Jiaohua said.

Wei Chenguang nodded: "I think so too. While these people don't know the details of our Meishan faction, it's better to have a big wave to clean up the sand. Clean up all those people with bad intentions. Otherwise, sooner or later, they will turn this Xiyun secret realm into a mess."

"That's it. Let someone let the wind out, saying that the aura of our Stream Cloud Secret Realm is about to dry up. The Meishan faction is about to disband. Let's see how those people react. At this time, if anyone wants to leave, let them leave here." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"In this way, I'm afraid many people will leave." Wei Chenguang was a little worried again.

Zhang Jiaohua smiled: "These half-hearted people will only make the Xiyun Secret Realm a mess if they stay. It's better to let them go. Our Meishan faction is not an orphanage. We want to stay here for nothing, but we have no loyalty to the Meishan faction. How can there be such a reason?"

Zhang Jiaohua snorted coldly.

Wei Chenguang nodded quickly: "Then I'll do it now."

"Don't worry. There's something else I want to tell you." Zhang Jiaohua talked about the small secret place Meishan found, but didn't mention the secret place in the hot spring valley.

Zhang Jiaohua went on to say: "Once this matter is over, you can take someone there. Then let Leopard take you to that place. From now on, you will be in charge of everything here. I want to do something in school."

Wei Chenguang didn't know what else Zhang Jiaohua could do in a secular school as a monk. He always felt that Zhang Jiaohua was just wasting his time. If you have this time, you might as well realize the Dao more. But Zhang Jiaohua naturally had his reasons for doing so, so Wei Chenguang didn't express his doubts.

Soon, a message spread in the secret realm. Because the last time the sect master attacked the Xiyun Secret Realm, the Xiyun faction drove the mountain protection formation to consume all the spiritual springs in the Xiyun Secret Realm. The remaining spiritual spring will be exhausted soon. At that time, it will be the time when the Meishan faction will be disbanded.

Kong Fangzhou is refining various materials in the refining workshop, and is going to start refining some small utensils soon. The shelf here has just been set up, and Kong Fangzhou is going to get the refining workshop on the right track as soon as possible.

"Brother Kong, are you still busy with the crafting workshop? According to me, don't be so busy." Xia Peng, a casual practitioner who has a fairly good relationship with Kong Fangzhou, walked into the crafting workshop.

Kong Fangzhou smiled: "Brother Xia, what are you talking about? The sect master values ​​me and asked me to come over to be the master of the Artifact Refining Hall. I have to make some achievements as soon as possible, and don't let others look down on me."

Xia Peng shook his head: "It seems that Brother Kong still doesn't know what's going on outside."

"What's the situation?" Kong Fangzhou asked.

"Now there are rumors in the secret realm that the spiritual spring of the Xiyun secret realm is about to dry up. The Meishan faction will be disbanded soon. Brother Kong's painstaking efforts to build this crafting workshop are probably in vain," Xia Peng said.

Kong Fangzhou's expression tightened: "Where did you hear this news?"

"Where do you need to hear it? Now that there is a lot of rumors in the secret realm, but the managers of the Meishan faction don't come out to say anything, isn't there a problem? I have also decided that since I can't become a monk, I will quickly return to the secular world and become my rich man. Brother Kong should also make plans earlier." Xia Peng said.

Kong Fangzhou shook his head: "I advise brother Xia not to rush to make plans."

"Why?" Xia Peng asked strangely.

"If the spiritual spring of the Xiyun faction was about to dry up, the Meishan faction should have known it in the first place. Why did the wind come out now? If the spiritual spring was about to dry up, why did they form the Meishan faction? If the Meishan faction were not established, would the spiritual spring be able to last longer?" Kong Fangzhou analyzed.

Xia Peng frowned: "If the Lingquan is not about to dry up, why doesn't the manager of the Meishan faction come out to refute the rumors?"

"Brother Xia, don't you think there are too many people in Xiyun Secret Realm? If things go on like this, something will happen to the Meishan faction sooner or later. If I were me, I would rather have fewer people, but also be loyal to the sect. It's not a mixed bag like it is now. If brother Xia really wants to stay in the Meishan faction, then stay. Even if you get to that point, you have nothing to lose. Don't you think so?" Kong Fangzhou saw the problem at a glance.

"Brother Kong really sees clearly. I just listen to Brother Kong's opinion. I will stay here for now. In fact, I want to leave because this place is too messy. But now, after listening to Brother Kong, I suddenly feel that staying here is not bad." Xia Peng laughed.

But most people don't think so. When many people heard that the Lingquan was about to dry up, they immediately revealed their true colors.

"The Lingquan is going to dry up, what else do you invite us to do? Isn't this a waste of my time? I've had enough of this place."

"That's right. The Meishan faction has to give us an explanation. What's the point of fooling us here with such a secret realm?"

...

Those monks who were not interested in the Meishan faction suddenly started to make a fuss, and it is unknown who took the lead in destroying the facilities in the secret realm.

At this time, Zhang Jiaohua, Wei Chenguang and others appeared. Zhang Jiaohua unleashed his aura unreservedly, and immediately calmed down those troublesome monks.

"Stop! Don't forget what happened to the Xiyun faction!" Zhang Jiaohua said sharply.

Those monks were stopped by Zhang Jiaohua on the spot. But there are also bold ones.

"You Meishan faction invited us here and let us join the Meishan faction. But you didn't tell us that the spiritual spring in Xiyun Secret Realm was about to dry up. This is a complete fraud." Someone stood up and said loudly.

"What's your name?" Zhang Jiaohua asked.

"My name is Ruan Linzhi." The man said.

"Ruan Linzhi, right? You have been in the secret realm for so long, have you ever contributed to the secret realm? Have you suffered any losses? Did the Meishan faction make you pay any price for your cultivation in the Xiyun secret realm?" Zhang Jiaohua asked a few words.

Ruan Linzhi looked a little embarrassed: "I don't care about this. Now the Lingquan is going to dry up, so I want to leave."

"This is no problem. I said at the beginning that you are free to come and go. If you don't want to stay here, you can leave at any time." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"Then I'm leaving now." Ruan Linzhi said.

"I'm afraid you can't do it now. If you want to leave, you can, but you shouldn't destroy the facilities in the secret realm. If you leave like this, how will our Meishan faction gain a foothold in the cultivation world in the future?" Zhang Jiaohua's voice became severe.

"Then what do you want?" Ruan Linzhi was a little nervous.

"Anyone who participated in the smashing just now can leave after severing an arm!" Zhang Jiaohua said coldly.

"How dare you?" Ruan Linzhi panicked.

A ray of spiritual light flew out from Zhang Jiaohua's hand, Ruan Linzhi wanted to avoid it, but the casual cultivators around him hurriedly avoided it. Ruan Linzhi quickly opened a defensive spell, and a shield appeared in front of the path of the aura.

However, when the aura came into contact with the protective shield, it was only slightly stagnant before breaking through the protective shield, and then the light flashed, directly sweeping across Ruan Linzhi's right arm. A whole arm fell to the ground with a clatter.

After a while, blood sprayed out from Ruan Linzhi's arm like a spray.

"Ah!" Ruan Linzhi let out a miserable cry.

This moment stunned everyone on the scene.

"Forgive me! Forgive me! We pay, double the pay!" He knelt down on the spot in a timid manner.

Zhang Jiaohua said coldly: "Those who don't want to stay in the Meishan faction are free to leave now. If they want to make trouble, this is what will happen!"

The law enforcement team prepared by the Meishan faction took immediate action and detained those who participated in the smashing, followed by a series of screams. It's not that Zhang Jiaohua is cruel. Compassion does not command soldiers, and in the monastic world, the rules are even more cruel. It is kind enough for Zhang Jiaohua not to take their lives today. The number of people who participated in the smashing was not many, and they were all people of different religions and nine streams. Otherwise, ordinary monks would not be so impatient.

There were quite a few people leaving this time, and more than two-thirds of them left in a hurry. The secret realm that had already shown a scene of prosperity suddenly became much cleaner.

"Master, what should we do with those people?" Wei Chenguang asked.

"What do you think should be done?" Zhang Jiaohua asked.

Wei Chenguang whispered: "These people are nothing in the realm of cultivation, but they are people with Taoism after all. If they hold grudges and take revenge on ordinary people after leaving the secret realm, they will be hard to guard against. How about..."

Wei Chenguang made a gesture of chopping down with a knife in his hand.

Zhang Jiaohua pondered for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said in a deep voice, "You handle this matter!"

Wei Chenguang nodded: "I will handle it properly."

"This time I will add the spiritual spring in the secret realm, it may take a long time to come here in the future." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"Don't worry, the sect master. Everything is up to me. If there is anything, I will ask the sect master for instructions." Wei Chenguang said.

Zhang Jiaohua is still a little uncomfortable with deciding the life and death of several people at once, but he knows that from the day when the Meishan School was established, he will face such a thing sooner or later. Establishing a cultivation sect is not just playing tricks.

Zhang Jiaohua suddenly wanted to leave here very much, go back to the secular world, go back to that quiet campus, where there is no need to intrigue, and it is quiet, as if that is a kind of cultivation.

"Are you back?" Mei Qing greeted Zhang Jiaohua who walked into the laboratory.

Zhang Jiaohua nodded without saying a word, and walked into the laboratory to observe his treatments. Although Zhang Jiaohua went to Xiyun Secret Realm to deal with sect affairs, in fact, he returned to the laboratory for experiments in the middle. The progress of the experiment was not smooth, and the second batch of experiment processing was still as he expected. Although some progress had been made, it was still far from a step of success.

"Actually, this is already very good. If you sum up this experiment, it will be enough for a high-level paper. There are not many people in the world who can do what you have done." Mei Qing said.

"But what's the point?" Zhang Jiaohua asked.

Mei Qing smiled dumbly, yes, Zhang Jiaohua is different from others, others may only need a paper. But for Zhang Jiaohua, what he needs is the final result.

"Have you prepared the third phase of the experiment?" Mei Qing asked.

Zhang Jiaohua nodded: "Of course."

"How sure do you think you will succeed this time?" Mei Qing asked.

Zhang Jiaohua smiled and said: "If you are sure, is it still called scientific research? It should be an experimental operation, right?"

Mei Qing smiled: "That's right. But you have made great progress in the second phase of the experiment. The result should be about the same as your expected result, right?"

"The result is close to what I expected. I can only say that my direction is right. It doesn't mean that I will definitely get the final result. It seems that I still take this subject too easily. I feel that if I continue to do this, I will never get the final result." Zhang Jiaohua thought for a while and frowned.

"Why?" Mei Qing asked puzzled. She felt that Zhang Jiaohua's experiment seemed to be going well.

"It seems that I have been approaching success step by step. In fact, I haven't touched the most fundamental problem at all." Zhang Jiaohua thought for a while and said.

"What's the problem?" Mei Qing asked.

"Where am I from?" Zhang Jiaohua said.

Mei Qing opened her eyes wide, what kind of problem is this? But she soon realized that Zhang Jiaohua was not asking, but talking about a philosophical question. But this question is placed in the life sciences, that is, how the consciousness of life is produced.

Zhang Jiaohua knows better than anyone else that people have souls. He can even see it. Zhang Jiaohua suddenly called Jin Hu and the five of them. Where did they all go? If there are really legendary reincarnations, they should be several years old.

Thinking of Jin Hu and the others, tears kept rolling in Zhang Jiaohua's eyes.

"Beautiful, begging, what's wrong with you?" Mei Qing felt something was wrong. Zhang Jiaohua suddenly became too silent, when Mei Qing looked up, there were tears dripping from Zhang Jiaohua's eyes.

"No, it's okay, I suddenly remembered something." Zhang Jiaohua turned her head, and after a while she turned around, but her eyes were wet, and her eyelashes were glued together by tears.

Mei Qing suddenly couldn't understand the big boy in front of her. This was another side of Zhang Jiaohua appearing in front of her. A trace of incompatible depth appeared on the immature face.

Mei Qing couldn't help but walked up to Zhang Jiaohua, and hugged Zhang Jiaohua into her arms like a child.
