Strange mountains and rivers

When leaving Chongyang Mountain, Chen Huaisheng also asked Li Yu what the sect's attitude was towards Yiyang and Langling.

In other words, does the sect plan to return to Langling and Yiyang in the future?

If you want to return, when will you prepare?

In what way will it return, and what will be its attitude and countermeasures towards the Zijin Sect and the White Stone Sect?

This is also a problem that the Chinese-Chinese faction has to face.

Now the Chonghua Sect has a thousand members, but disciples from the old Chonghua and Lingyun Sect account for more than 30%. Most of them are from Yiyang and Langling, and they have a strong desire to return to their homeland.

If we were forced to leave before because the sect was too weak, but after the integration and growth after absorbing the Nine Lotus Sect in the past few years, everyone has become more motivated and have no desire to return, and even fight against the Baishi Sect and the Zijin Sect. It's especially strong Lee.

Of course, the top management knew very well that it was unrealistic to fight against the Baishi Sect or the Zijin Sect.

Not to mention that the foundation of Chongyang Mountain in Ji County is not yet solid, and Wolong Ridge also needs to be consolidated. In terms of hard power alone, Baishimen is still ahead of the Chonghua Sect. In recent years, the Chonghua Sect has grown, and Baishimen The door didn't stop either, and it expanded even faster.

The Zijin Sect is one of the four major sects in Southern Chu, and its admission to Zhiyang has been approved by the Taoist Palace and officials. Now if they want to publicly overturn the original agreement, it may trigger a dispute between Da Zhao and Nanchu, and the Taoist Palace will definitely not agree.

Of course, if you plan it quietly and the two sides compete in a competitive way, the Taoist palace and the official family may be happy to see it happen.

Li Yu told Chen Huaisheng that the Chonghua Sect is also very entangled internally. If Baishimen is allowed to develop like this, it may be really difficult for the Chonghuasect to return to Yinan. But now, let the Chonghuasect and Baishimen face each other head-on. It is impossible to fight and fight, so a suitable countermeasure has not been found for a while.

All that can be done now is to wait and see. As Chen Huaisheng mentioned, perhaps the arrival of the monster tide is both a crisis and an opportunity. This is true for the Chonghua sect, as well as the Baishimen and Zijin sects.

Both Hebei and Yijun are facing the risk of this kind of monster storm. It depends on who can survive this storm and live better. This may be an opportunity.

Therefore, when Chen Huaisheng faced such questioning from the Lu family, he could only speak vaguely.

In the final analysis, when your own strength has grown to the point where you have an overwhelming advantage, you can take the initiative and choose the right time at will.

After sending Lu Guilun away, he also knew that the other party was not satisfied, but he could only reply in this way.

It's necessary to leave a glimmer of hope without giving a definite answer, that's it.

After staying one night in Dingling, the two set off for Liao County.

After stopping for a while at Guzhenyi, the two planned to return to Yuanbaozhai first and then to Heimuya.

The distance that used to feel very far is now much faster with the air control flying technique than using the divine walking talisman and the walking talisman.

When they arrived at Yuanbaozhai, before they even sat down, Chen Chongyuan and his son, as well as Yin Heng and others from the Yin family, had already come to greet them, seeming to have completely forgotten all the previous discords.

I remember that in the battle at Yefenggou, I was almost killed, but now if I want to take revenge on the other party, it would be like squeezing an ant to death, even uprooting the Chen family would be a piece of cake.

The question is is it necessary?

Chen Huaisheng even felt that he had taken these things lightly.

Over the past few years, he had every chance to rush back to Yuanbaozhai and kill Chen and his son, but he had no intention of doing so.

Chen Huaisheng found that he actually planned to kill the Chen family and his son or even uproot the Chen family. What would he gain? What would be the benefit of not killing the Chen family and his son?

The Chen family and Baishimen must be colluding together, but he can pretend not to know. To solve them, he only needs to reveal the news to the Zijin Sect, and the Zijin Sect will naturally take action, so why dirty his own hands?

After sending everyone away, Chen Huaisheng returned to his former residence and cabin.

Xuan Chimei walked around the hut, and then started to clean the hut enthusiastically. Chen Huaisheng didn't stop her. Maybe she would stay here for two more days, which could be considered as a way to comfort her wish.

The stone tables and benches, the practice room, everything reappeared as if it were yesterday, and Chen Huaisheng was also a little lost in a trance.

"What's the matter, Brother Huaisheng?" Xuan Chimei, who had finished cleaning the house, also noticed Ailang's distraction and said softly.

"Nothing, just a little emotional. Seven years ago, you took me to find Master Yi, and finally succeeded in getting Master Wu's approval to join the Chonghua Sect. More than two thousand days and nights have passed by, and now I have actually established the foundation. This is It was something that was unimaginable seven years ago, but it just happened.”

Chen Huaisheng held Xuan Chimei's hand, his words a little erratic.

Xuan Chimei said with a smile: "Yes, I was already at the third level of Qi Refining at that time, but seven years later, I am at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, and I am already the fastest among the people in the sect to advance. But compared with Brother Huaisheng , it’s a world of difference.”

"Don't compare yourself to Brother Yu. Brother Yu is a special case. He has encountered so many things, and every one of them is a matter of life and death. I don't want it to happen to you."

The two sat down next to each other, and Chen Huaisheng looked out the window with a more thoughtful look: "I just wanted to come back and have a look before, but when I arrived at Dingling, I listened to the introductions from people here, and from the Lu family. I doubted it, and after seeing the situation in the village today, I felt a little hesitant.”

"oh?" Brother, why don't you just give up and let them go? Or does Brother Huaisheng think that they are all your clan members, or that the situation in Yuanbaozhai will be worse if they lose them, so he wants to let them go?"

"Well, I didn't think that far before I came back. I didn't even think about how to deal with them. I thought that if they just did evil, I would just kill them. But now I see, it doesn't matter whether it's the Chen family or the Yin family. , I’m afraid it doesn’t matter whoever takes charge of Yuanbao Village, whether it’s bullying men and dominating women, or harming the public and enriching private interests, it seems that no one can avoid it,..."

Chen Huaisheng laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm even thinking that if I hadn't been able to join the Chonghua sect, hadn't entered the Dao, or was just lingering in the early stage of Qi refining, and just hung out in this village, maybe I would have Will I transform into the same kind as Chen Chongyuan and Chen Shangxiong? I don’t think my moral bottom line is much higher than theirs. In this kind of environment where no one can control it, it is highly likely to transform into evil. You must know that Chen Chongyuan was young. He was also a talented person at that time and had quite a chivalrous reputation. When Shan Biao attacked the village, he risked his life and led the Taoist priests in the village to surround him, and even nearly died. The people in the village were also grateful to him, but look at him now Where is the image of the past from what he has done?”

Chen Huaisheng's self-reflection and self-analysis surprised Xuan Chimei and she didn't know how to answer. She never believed that Chen Huaisheng would become like that, but she didn't know how to refute it for a while.

"Do you think my words are a bit too absolute, or are you so introspective because you know it can't happen?" Chen Huaisheng smiled and put his arms around Xuan Chimei's waist, "I just said it was possible, but it's not It may not necessarily be like that, but in this world where the weak and the strong survive, everyone wants to strive for their own interests and strengthen themselves as much as possible, so that they can get more survival opportunities in this world. This is true for mortals, in the world of cultivation The same is true for the sect, isn’t it true for us in the Chonghua Sect?”

Xuan Chimei's words were too straightforward and harsh to accept. She frowned and pursed her lips, thinking for a while before saying: "Brother Huaisheng, according to what you said, there is no justice in this world. Everyone It’s about acting around interests,…”

"It depends on how you look at it, how you understand it, or how you treat it all with your heart."

Chen Huaisheng knew that his words would cause some confusion in Xuan Chimei's mind, but it was better to say some things clearly earlier, so as not to be more entangled, painful and difficult to accept when he really needs to face them one day.

"For example, the Lu family is now attacked by the Baishimen or the Zijin Sect. They hope that we will lend a helping hand, but the enemy is very powerful. If we go, we will definitely have to make sacrifices, and the price is not small. Will we go?"

Chen Huaisheng said calmly.

Xuan Chimei hesitated for a moment, "The Lu family and we are not allies, they are just potential partners. We have no reason to do such a thing when we know that we will have to pay a huge sacrifice..."

"Very good, then if our sect in Wolong Ridge is attacked by monsters and needs our reinforcements, we may also have to pay a huge sacrifice. Will we go?"

"I will go because we are a family..."

"Yes, you see, this is due to emotional closeness, not entirely due to interests..." Chen Huaisheng said with a smile: "One more thing, if the sect wants us Yun Zhongshan to take the lead in fighting to regain Yinan, but we We are obviously not strong enough, and we may only have to pay a huge sacrifice, but it may help the sect regain Yinan in the future. Do you think we should fight for this?"

This question was too complicated and confusing, and Xuan Chimei failed the test. She didn't know how to make a choice, to sacrifice the interests of the small collective to achieve the interests of the sect?

But if Yunzhongshan is destroyed because of this, then even if the Chonghua Sect is prosperous, is it worth it?

This confused Xuan Chimei.

Chen Huaisheng spread his hands, "So the world is not that simple. The examples I gave may be a bit extreme. They are all faced with helpless choices, so they are entangled. So we can only let ourselves spare no effort and use any means to make us stronger. We Only by taking the initiative can you take the initiative without having to passively make difficult choices. This is what I mean, Chi Mei, do you understand?"

"So Brother Huaisheng, do you think that in Yiyang, in Liao County, and even in our town, everything can be used to make us stronger, and we can even make some compromises?" Xuan Chimei's eyes Clear and bright.

There will be more soon!
