Mo Chen accepted the post, and made an appointment with the person who sent the post to invite them up the mountain in three days.
When the guests go up the mountain, of course they don't come empty-handed. These days, when ordinary people go out to visit guests, they will never go empty-handed. They always have to find something to take with them to show their affection to the host. There is a way to send the rich, and there is a way to give the poor.
The master of the Taoist temple gave the Taoist scriptures copied by the Taoist priest and a pair of jade lampstands. The ceremony is definitely not generous, but it must be attentive.
But the people from the Changhe faction sent generous gifts, two heavy boxes. With such a generous gift, people must be asking for a higher return. In comparison, it is not as comfortable as the hand-copied Taoism scriptures.
Xiaodong didn't have a good impression of the Changhe faction. In his opinion, the collapse of the Burial Sword Valley was caused by many people, but the Changhe faction and Wanshi Villa did not do bad things in it. These people are afraid that they can only see the word "Li" with their eyes open, and now they must have other plans when they suddenly go back and forth to Liushan. Dealing with such people makes people feel uncomfortable, and they must always be on guard, no one can say no Know when they will turn their heads and bite you back.
"It doesn't have to be like this." Mo Chen could tell what Xiaodong was thinking at a glance. His thoughts are always written on his face, not only Mo Chen, but everyone who is acquainted with him can see it: "People live in this world, and they can't be too serious. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. When people communicate with each other, of course there are masters and friends." Hu Zhenren is really like-minded, but there are also a lot of interactions with people. It is impossible for a person to only associate with people who like him in this life, and reject those who don’t like him.”
"I understand the truth..."
It's just that I can't turn around for a while.
Everyone is born this way, and not all people in the world are born smooth and sophisticated. Philistines and vulgar people grow up day by day and become like this day by day.
People who practice Taoism say they are transcendent, but they are still human after all, and human beings are inevitably free from emotions and desires, and their distracting thoughts will not be much less than ordinary people.
The Changhe faction seems to attach great importance to the trip to Huiliu Mountain. When they formally went to the mountain to pay a visit, two real people came. One is the younger brother of the current head of the Changhe School, surnamed Jia. One is Wu Zhenren who is in charge of the affairs of the outer sect of the Changhe faction. The appearance of these two people is very different. Master Jia has a Taoist and immortal appearance, but Master Wu has a big belly and a round waist, wearing a huge jewel-embedded ring on his hand. He doesn't look like a cultivator, but a businessman.
After sitting down and talking, Jiang Fan, who was standing by the side, could better understand the difference between the two. Master Jia was not good at words, and after sitting down, he uttered less than ten sentences in total, while Master Wu was eloquent, and it didn't take much effort to get to the point.
He also mentioned the Burial Sword Valley: "The Burial Sword Valley has been condemned by the heavens. It is said that their hearts are too dark and they have done too much. They have dug up the underground mine veins and spirit stones. How can there be such a catastrophe as the destruction of the Ju faction? Now The landslides and landslides in a radius of a hundred miles have turned it into a barren swamp. It is said that ordinary people who pass by the vicinity will feel exhausted. Some disciples of my sect have been there and said that it is not appropriate to be in the vicinity , it seems that the vicinity has become a fierce place."
Then he turned the topic to Wanshi Villa without any trace: "Wanshi Villa did a lot of things to plan for Burial Sword Valley, and I heard that they placed many disciples in Burial Sword Valley. Burial Sword Valley With such an end, I'm afraid that they didn't have less hands and feet during it, and their intentions are really unpredictable."
This real Wu is very good at talking, and he almost said that Wanshi Villa is a person in the way of the devil, and he will never do bad things. However, Li Fulin could tell that most of the things here were true, and Wanshi Villa was not too wronged. It is said that the person who knows you best is not your friend but your opponent. The Changhe faction is not far from Wanshi Villa. After many years, it can be said that you know yourself and your enemy. There was the Burial Sword Valley before, and they were working hard towards the Burial Sword Valley together. As soon as there was no Burial Sword Valley, the two of them fell out. Changhe sent back and forth to Liushan to find foreign aid, and Wanshi Villa was probably not idle, they all wanted to knock down the opponent and swallow them in one gulp. In order to bring back Liushan to board the boat, the Changhe faction naturally has the suspicion of exaggeration and smearing, but there is one thing that is true. Human greed has no limit. I'm afraid they will not let go of these small sects. On the other hand, if the Changhe Sect had their wish, they would not be as polite to Huiliu Mountain as they are now. Huiliu Mountain has a good terrain, not to mention abundant aura, it is also considered a treasure land, which will definitely attract people's covet.
The Changhe faction was very polite and magnanimous when they came here this time. It means that even if Huiliu Mountain doesn't fight for Changhe, as long as it doesn't stand on the side of Wanshi Villa.
As soon as they left, Master Hu said unceremoniously: "They went up the mountain with such great fanfare and gave generous gifts. Wanshi Villa is not blind, so they can still see? Can Wanshi Villa believe that you and the Changhe faction have not joined forces? These People are always so sneaky and insidious when they do things.”
"At this time, Wanshi Villa can't spare a hand, so don't worry about them." For the small sect, it is more appropriate for the two sects to be evenly matched in stalemate rather than to dominate.
Shao Jinming came in and replied: "Master, when those two left just now, they inquired about Tianji Mountain."
The matter of Master Hu and the others on Huiliu Mountain is not a secret. Although Master Hu was not present when the two came just now, they should have seen the other disciples of Tianji Mountain. The disciples of Tianji Mountain are dressed in black and white, mostly black, which is different from the robes worn by the disciples of Huiliu Mountain.
"Then Master Wu is really good at talking, and he didn't stop talking all the way." Shao Jinming didn't want to deal with such people too much, and he didn't know when he would talk to him. This person seems to be rambling, but in fact he has been trying to find out more about Huiliu Mountain.
"He also said that the vegetation on our mountain is more prosperous than other places. After a winter, the mountain is still so lush and green, and new branches and leaves have grown in the sunny place..."
Mo Chen paused when he heard this sentence: "How did you answer? What else did he say?"
"I think he must want to inquire about our aura, or just want to know more about our formation, so he didn't respond."
Shao Jinming is a scheming person, and he is also very cautious. For a young disciple like Duan Ping, I am afraid that he will be caught in a lot of words.
However, Master Wu's meticulousness also made Mo Chen very vigilant.
The vegetation in Huiliu Mountain has grown well in previous years, but this year it is particularly good, as if spring came here ten days and a half months earlier than other places.
Thinking of Xiaodong's strange talent, Mo Chen suddenly felt that Xiaodong wandered around with that "uncle" in the early years, probably because of other reasons, not just to avoid Tian Jiancheng's search. (to be continued)
