"It's actually because of the Heavenly Fire Wuji Technique..."
In the meeting hall, after hearing Yan Li's report, Gong Lince murmured thoughtfully.
Several elders did the same, each showing a thoughtful expression.
After Gong Lince came to his senses, he nodded to Yan Li with a smile and said, "Junior Brother Yan has been working hard these days running around Niu Youdao."
Yan Li said modestly: "It's not hard work, it's just what you should do."
"Junior Brother Yan, this is a good job." Yuan An praised, and then said to Gong Lince: "Senior Brother, the information provided by Junior Brother Yan is very important, and it can be regarded as waking us up. This Kunlin Tree looks like He seems to be just an ordinary disciple of the Sky Fire Sect, but in fact he has an extraordinary significance to the Sky Fire Sect. It seems that he is more than just a fire charm escaper... With this person in hand, there is a lot to be done!"
Yan Li shook his head: "I know what Senior Brother Yuan means, but Niu Youdao's words are not unreasonable. Although the Sky Fire Wuji Technique is good, even the Sky Fire Sect, which specializes in fire-based exercises, only this Kunlin tree has mastered it after three generations. , can we not compare to the Heavenly Fire Sect who is immersed in this way? It can be imagined that even if this technique falls into our hands, it will not be of much significance. "
Elder Fu Junrang waved his hand: "Although the words are good, they have different meanings for the Sky Fire Sect. The Sky Fire Sect will definitely not give up on this person, and will never let him fall into the hands of Niu Youdao as a slave. If this is really the case, the Sky Fire Sect will probably... If he has trouble sleeping or eating, he will definitely come to us to ask for this person."
Elder Yin Yide muttered: "If the Sky Fire Sect really wants to put pressure on him, we are afraid that we will not be able to retain this person. To maintain such a big situation in the Yan State, the replacement of old and new war horses cannot be separated from the Qi State. We are afraid that we will not be able to give him people." It’s difficult. However, we can have a good talk with this. I’m afraid it won’t work if the Sky Fire Sect doesn’t make some blood this time.”
Elder Yuan An nodded, "That's exactly what I meant. A bunch of us helped Niu Youdao with his work. Now it seems that the work was not in vain."
Yan Li hesitated and said: "I understand what you guys mean, but according to the bet, the couple belong to Niu Youdao and are Niu Youdao's slaves. Can Niu Youdao easily hand over people to us?"
Elder Mo Lingxue said: "Junior Brother Yan, what you said is wrong. Niu Youdao is now the elder of Zijin Cave. It is related to the interests of Zijin Cave. He must obey the overall situation and consider the overall situation."
Yan Li: "Again, you are thinking about the overall situation? Of course, you should really be thinking about the overall situation of Zijin Cave. But is it appropriate for us to give him this label repeatedly? After all the trouble last time, he returned the favor in Beizhou. This time Let’s get it straight... The imperial conquest of the Song Dynasty in the east was not done by the Nanzhou forces. The Yan State collapsed long ago. The Nanzhou people also played the mainstay role in the westward expedition against the Zhao State. It was also incredible to destroy the Zhao State. Youdao secretly united with Xiaoyue Pavilion and played a key role, which not only prevented the danger of Yan State, but also gained huge benefits for Yan State."
"During the National War, Chen Bing was also the leader of the forces that defended South Korea on the border. His group of forces have repeatedly made great achievements, but there was no benefit after the war. Instead, we suppressed the expansion of his forces and wanted to control his wealth. Road, and always asked him to think about the overall situation. The incident in Beizhou has already been a warning from him. If we continue to do it, let’s compare our feelings. If we change it, who can endure it for a while, who can endure it forever? I have been in contact with him Duo, I know him quite well, this guy is definitely not a vegetarian, once he launches a counterattack, there is no telling what unexpected things will happen."
Mo Lingxue said: "Junior Brother Yan, why do I feel that you are speaking for him?"
Yan Li: "Senior sister, I'm not speaking for him. I think he must have some purpose in trying to hold the couple. Doesn't he know the benefits we talked about? He is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very shrewd. "
Gong Lince raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, he pinched the couple just to get benefits from the Sky Fire Sect?"
Yan Li: "Senior Brother, we all know that once the Sky Fire Sect exerts pressure, it is difficult not to hand people over. Doesn't he know? If he is not seeking benefits, can he do this in vain? He proposed that harsh Qian Fucheng and the others didn't want to agree to the conditions, but he was still trying his best to provoke them to agree behind the scenes. Is this normal? Did he seem to be forced to agree to the challenge? It was obvious that he had set up a trap for Qian Fucheng and the others to come in. Drilling, it’s no good, how can he do this?”
Gong Lince: "That's not what you said at first. You said he just wanted to find out what was wrong with this matter."
Yan Li said a little sarcastically: "I guess he didn't know about this at first. Now I just try to think the worst about him. That guy is right to be suspicious. At least the immediate benefits have been seen, and he can still Do you give up easily?"
Everyone was silent and thinking, and had to admit that what Yan Li said made sense. The benefits had basically been obtained. If they intercepted the benefits again, it would be tantamount to robbery. Niu Youdao would definitely not agree to it.
The key is that the bet clearly states in black and white that the ownership of the couple belongs to Niu Youdao, not to Zijin Cave, but to Niu Youdao personally. Niu Youdao is the one who can really make the final decision on the couple.
I really want to make Niu Youdao angry. Niu Youdao can put people away with just one sentence. Niu Youdao is the one who can cancel the bet. Niu Youdao is the one who controls the outcome of the bet. , when the time comes, no one can even think about this benefit.
Of course, Niu Youdao may not dare to do things that involve breaking the pot, but the right to speak is in Niu Youdao's hands. In short, it is Niu Youdao's person, and those who want him must have Niu Youdao's consent.
Mo Lingxue said: "As an elder of Zijin Cave, the benefits of Zijin Cave are naturally his benefits."
Yan Li smiled bitterly: "Senior sister, it seems you don't understand him yet. That boy...Senior sister, do you believe it or not? As long as you say this, he immediately turns around and asks, as the elder of Zijindong, isn't his benefit not that of Zijindong?" the benefits of?"
The hall fell into silence again. The key is that you can't snatch it from Niu Youdao, and you can't snatch it away. He is not alone. He has his own huge power. He started with his power. It's not up to you how to handle it. Just do it how you want.
Of course, recruiting others is based on the benefits that their power will bring to Zijin Cave.
Nowadays, the power in Niu Youdao's hands can also be said to be the power of Zijindong, and others have not said that it is not the power of Zijindong. But the key is that the power does not listen to Zijindong, but only to Niu Youdao, so Niu Youdao must He wants to hold it firmly in his hand.
It's strange that Niu Youdao can obediently hand over this power to Zijin Cave. Let alone Niu Youdao, no one here would agree.
Even if Niu Youdao says he obeys the sect, as long as Niu Youdao is unwilling in his heart, that force will definitely not be controlled by Zijindong.
This is the truth. As a disciple of Zijindong, everything belongs to Zijindong, but who can not hold the right to speak in his hands
But you can't mess with Niu Youdao now. Niu Youdao is now the upright elder of Zijindong. Who dares to ignore the rules of the sect and try to put him under house arrest, coerce or kill him without any reason until he does something extraordinary
Once Niu Youdao is moved rashly, the forces under Niu Youdao will inevitably panic and worry about being purged. If Niu Youdao is moved, Niu Youdao will inevitably be purged and replaced by his own people who can rest assured to control it. Even if that force is for the sake of To protect themselves, they will definitely collude with Xiaoyao Palace or Lingjian Mountain to take the opportunity to intervene. At that time, this force belonging to the Zijin Cave category will also have to fight hard, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Moreover, Niu Youdao's power is indeed huge to a certain extent. Not only is Nanzhou controlled by merchants, it is already difficult to quickly settle it with the power of Zijin Cave.
Zijin Cave can't do it, Xiaoyao Palace can't do it, and Lingjian Mountain can't do it either. Unless the three families join forces, there will be no future troubles. But Zijin Cave can't join forces with the other two families to smash its own feet and demolish its own platform.
Regardless of this, a group has its own rules and a system to maintain the group. No one can just do whatever they want. It is impossible to force or mess with the elders of Zijindong.
Everyone present was above the level of the elders of Zijindong. As Yan Li said, when it comes to going to the Holy Land, it is impossible to recommend the disciples of Zijindong, not the elders.
To maintain some rules is to safeguard one's own interests. No one wants to break some rules and have it fall on him one day. No one present will say anything to the elders without a suitable reason, even if they feel guilty in their heart. Wrong thoughts will not be spoken out unless absolutely necessary.
Similarly, Niu Youdao has become a member of Zijin Cave and does not dare to blatantly violate the sect rules. At least his power is not big enough to fight against the sect rules on his own.
"If I had known earlier, I would have thought more carefully about letting him become the elder of our sect." Mo Lingxue muttered.
Everyone glanced at her. What she said was nonsense. If she didn't give her enough benefits, how could she seek refuge in Zijin Cave
Everyone looked at Gong Linche again. The person who made this decision was the leader.
Gong Lince glanced at Mo Lingxue, but didn't say much, knowing that she was just venting her emotions.
When everyone was thinking about how to deal with this matter, a disciple from outside came to report that Wen Mo'er was here.
Gong Lince immediately waved to let him in.
Everyone also knows that Wen Moer stated that the sect arranged for Niu Youdao to be taken care of daily and responsible for communication between the two parties at the Thatched Cottage. In fact, he was also responsible for monitoring Niu Youdao.
This should be about Niu Youdao.
Sure enough, after hearing that Mo'er came to salute, he reported: "Master, over at Guimian Pavilion, Uncle Ju'an, who is responsible for Mr. Zhong's daily life, picked a basket of fresh fruits from the back mountain and gave it to Elder Niu before leaving. After that, Elder Niu ordered someone to prepare a banquet in return, and personally took the people to Guimian Pavilion, where he invited the uncles and uncles in Guimian Pavilion to taste it, and told them that whoever wants to eat in the future can go to the thatched cottage at any time. Other courtyard.”
After hearing that Mo'er had left, Mo Lingxue asked curiously: "What kind of idea is it to return a banquet in return?"
"Ahem!" Yan Li suddenly coughed twice. He had the right to speak on this matter. He laughed dryly and said: "Senior sister may not know that I am the one who often eats and drinks in the thatched cottage. Don't tell me, Niu. That guy in Youdao had a nourishing life as a child, and he lived an extraordinary life. He simply lived out of the realm. The princess combed his hair, a group of monks took care of his food, and the sound of bells in the morning and drums in the evening, and the chanting of sutras soothed his mind. , it’s no exaggeration to say that the banquet is one of the best in the world, it’s really delicious, so now I have no taste for other food and drinks, and I want to go to him every now and then.”
