Yunxia School, Back Mountain, Lingyin Garden.
Huode was drinking alone in the garden, looked at the sun in the sky, it was almost noon, and couldn't help but curse.
"What time is this? Why is this kid still sleeping?"
When I got up, I wanted to wake up Gu Qingfeng, but after thinking about it, forget it, since I have been a grandson for so many days, it is not too late, and Huode is still planning to continue to be a grandson until Gu Qingfeng agrees.
Ever since he learned that both Jin De and Shui De were planning to become the master, Huo De has not enjoyed a day of comfort. It is not that he has not cultivated disciples over the years, but it is a pity that he either died or was injured, or disappeared without a trace. , or the violent corpses on the street, he knew that these were the ghosts of Jin De and Shui De at the end.
What's the use of just knowing
It's useless.
He is a rough man who wants the city to have no city, no backing, and no power of his own. In addition, he was injured a little during the catastrophe and has not recovered so far. He has nothing but helplessness for many things. If It's not that he has many old friends in Qingyang, whether he can live to this day is still unknown.
Originally, he planned that if he couldn't do it, he would have to fight Jin De and Shui De in the end.
But he never thought that Gu Qingfeng would appear suddenly.
This gave him hope.
To be honest, if it wasn't really impossible, Huo De didn't want to tell Gu Qingfeng this at all, because he knew better than anyone how much Gu Qingfeng had suffered in the Yunxia faction when he was young. It's a great gift, now let him turn to help the Yunxia faction, it's really embarrassing for this kid.
What's more, this kid is now judged by heaven and has nothing... Instead of being able to help him, I even make things difficult for him.
I really feel sorry for this kid.
It is also fully understandable that Gu Qingfeng needs time to think about it.
Huo De sighed, holding the wine jar and gulping down the wine.
"Why is it that at noon a person drank boring wine?"
When the sound came, Huo De knew that Gu Qingfeng had finally woken up. Looking over, he saw the boy standing at the door wearing only a single shirt, stretching and yawning, as if he was not awake.
"Hey, Patriarch Gu, it's still early, why did you wake up?"
Huo De satirized with some displeasure.
"What's the matter, I've been pretending to be my grandson for a few days now, and I'm starting to get impatient." Gu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Aren't you going to ask Master to help you?"
"You kid, don't take advantage of it and act like a good boy." Huo De stood up and took a sip of his wine, angrily said: "This grandson and I can't pretend anymore, will you help me, boy! Give me a good word!"
Gu Qingfeng smiled, did not speak, took a basin of cold water and began to wash.
Seeing that Gu Qingfeng ignored him, Huo De, who was still very stubborn, suddenly softened, and walked over with a smile, and took out his fan to fan the wind.
"Uncle Gu, it was the old man who made a mistake... Can I still pretend to be a grandson with you?"
"Ancestor, you are my own ancestor."
Huo De began to flatter and beg for mercy cheekily.
Gu Qingfeng didn't speak. After washing, he put on his clothes again, looked at Huode, shook his head, and sighed, "Let's go."
let's go
where to go
Huo De was taken aback by listening to such a sentence without beginning or end.
"Don't you want me to help you? At least find a place to discuss it."
"You... Gu boy! You..."
Maybe the happiness came so fast and so suddenly that Huo De couldn't react, and he couldn't even say a word: "You... your boy agreed?"
"You have pretended to be your grandson for so many days, how can I not agree!"
"Boy Gu! You~! Me!"
When excited, Huode's eyes turned red.
"Are you excited?" Gu Qingfeng walked over and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "Come on, why are you crying so much, let's go."
"You boy... do you want to think about it for a few more days... I didn't force you!"
Huo De very much hoped that Gu Qingfeng would agree, but at the same time he didn't.
I hope it's because he really has no other choice but to find Gu Qingfeng.
I don't hope it's because he knows that Gu Qingfeng suffered a lot in the Yunxia faction when he was young, so I feel sorry for him for asking him to agree.
"Think about it, don't think about it again."
Gu Qingfeng replied lightly.
He really didn't have to think about it.
Because he didn't think about it from the beginning.
When Huo De offered to help, he had already agreed, saying that he was thinking about it was just teasing him.
In Gu Qingfeng's heart, Huode is his savior. If he is in trouble, Gu Qingfeng will never refuse.
Huo De burst into tears with joy, and hurried to the cave to tell the senior brother the news. Tu De also burst into tears after knowing this, and kowtowed to thank him again. Seeing that he was weak, Gu Qingfeng advised him to go back to rest first, but Tu De I would rather die than say anything, but kneel down and make atonement and thank you.
In a rage, Gu Qingfeng knocked him unconscious and asked Huode to send him back.
When Huode came back, the two discussed specific matters while drinking.
Originally, Gu Qingfeng thought that it would be enough to let the head of the sect, Tu De, make himself a disciple in charge. If anyone refused to accept it, he would be taught a lesson on the spot and directly suppressed by force.
Gu Qingfeng does not advocate violence, but he has a deep understanding of one thing after five hundred years of practice, that is, force suppression is the most effective and fastest way to solve things, and any strategy is nonsense in the face of absolute force.
It's just that his idea was rejected by Huode.
"Ancestor! How can things be done like this? Although our Yunxia sect is a small sect in your eyes, it has been passed down for more than a thousand years. It is a big deal to be in charge of disciples. In the future, we will be in charge of the sect. How can we be so hasty? Huo De poured a glass of wine for Gu Qingfeng with a mournful face, and said, "Don't say that you are not a disciple of our Yunxia Sect. Regulations, otherwise those bastards of the sect will not be convinced."
"People are going to grab your position as the leader, but you still act according to the regulations. I said Huo De, you have nothing wrong with your mind."
"Ancestor! Listen to the old man explain it to you in detail. Leaving aside whether the head brother has the right to appoint you as the master disciple, even if you are forcibly appointed as the master disciple, then... Shui De and Jin De are sure to They will jump out and object, saying that we don’t follow the rules, and they will take advantage of it, and others from Yunxia’s group will take over their side.”
"At that time, if you use force to suppress it, and push Shui De and Jin De into a hurry, those two bastards will definitely lead their disciples to rebel. Don't forget, those two bastards have controlled half of the Yunxia faction's power. If there is a rebellion, many people will inevitably follow the rebellion, and we do not follow the charter, and those who were originally neutral will definitely stand on the side of Shui De and Jin De."
"What's more, our Yunxia faction has been passed down for so many years, and we have extremely complicated interest relationships with the surrounding sects and families. If we force it, it will only destroy these relationships, causing them to turn to Jinde and Shuide one-sidedly. Under such circumstances, what's the point of us even taking back the position of leader, we'll be completely polished commanders... The Yunxia faction's hard work and hard work for so many years will be completely finished."
Hearing what Huo De said, Gu Qingfeng thought about it carefully, and it seems that there is some truth in it. Maybe he has been in the heaven for a long time, but he has forgotten that the secular world is a place that pays attention to the relationship between interests. Like the Yunxia School, which has been passed down for more than a thousand years The existence of Qingyang has a deep foundation and many side branches. As Huode said, all the sects in Qingyang have complicated interests, and it can be said that one hair can affect the whole body.
"Then tell me how to do it."
"Although Jin De and Shui De have gained a lot of contacts over the years, most of us in the Yunxia faction are sensible and know that they are not good birds. If the Yunxia faction falls into their hands, it will definitely suffer in the future. But... everyone lacks a backbone, to be precise, there is one missing who is convincing and qualified to compete for the master disciple."
"Then what… "
Gu Qingfeng drank a little wine and continued to listen.
"As long as you let them know that your ancestors have this qualification, when the time comes, the old man will come forward and fool you... everything will be easy to talk about."
"You mean you want me to make a show and show off my strength? And this show can't let Shui De and Huo De pick out faults, but also convince the others in Yunxia faction?"
Huode nodded excitedly and said, "Yes! That's what it means."
"I sold a lot of burning when I was young, but if you want to say that this show is reasonable and convincing, it's not easy..."
"It's not difficult at all, and it's a piece of cake for you kid. To put it bluntly, just follow the rules and regulations, so that no one can find fault. In this way, tomorrow I will give you the status of a handyman, and the day after tomorrow you will go to participate in the outer sect Examination, if you become a disciple of the outer sect, you will go to win the chief of the twelfth courtyard of the outer sect, and if you win the chief of the outer sect, you will go to win the disciples of the nine halls of the inner sect... all the way, I believe that no one is not convinced."
"So troublesome?" Gu Qingfeng raised his brows, a little upset, and said, "I'm such an old man, you want me to play with a bunch of brats?"
"Ancestor...the only way to do things is this way, there is no other way." Huo De got up and walked over, poured another glass of wine for Gu Qingfeng, and said, "And don't underestimate those bastards, now the bastards are terrible, Didn't you keep asking how the old man's injury came about? I didn't want to say it at first, because I was afraid that I would be laughed at by you. To tell you the truth, the old man's dantian was injured by a demon when the catastrophe happened, but the golden core was injured by us. Yunxia sent a personal disciple who had just established her real body to beat her."
"Being beaten by a personal disciple who just established his real body?" Gu Qingfeng looked at Huo De up and down, a little disbelieving, and asked, "You are fooling me, right? No matter how badly your dantian is injured, at least one The golden core also contains seven or eight hundred years of spiritual power, can a kid who has just established his real body hurt you? I said Huo De, do you think I am a three-year-old child?"
