Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 21: Select
Shi Meng carefully recalled the previous situation.
"She was too eager to express herself. When I asked her about Lin Lang, you can see that she spoke eloquently and seamlessly. In fact, normal people should have a recall process when describing this process, but she almost She said it without blinking, and she had clearly memorized the words. But once you asked her a question she hadn't prepared for, her true colors were immediately revealed!" Tang Jie sneered.
"You mean..." Shi Meng understood somewhat.
Tang Jie has replied: "Yes, I deliberately tested them during the banquet. The red fruit from Yueyang is not a hangover cure at all, but a beauty fruit. Linchuan White Lotus has more beautifying effects, and Sanjiang Honey Lotus root is a woman’s favorite dessert. It’s not surprising that Mr. Xu doesn’t know about these three things, but it’s unreasonable that the eldest daughter of the Xu family doesn’t know about them. As for Yusong tea, let alone Yusong tea. Yusong stone is Tianya One of Haige's famous teas, it has a cool taste and is most loved by female nuns. Because it is tea stone instead of tea leaves, it only needs to be soaked and does not need to be brewed. Therefore, it is a tea for traveling, but not a tea for dinner. As a noble Miss Jia doesn’t even know!"
These things were learned when he first came into contact with Xu Miaoran. Xu Miaoran traveled around and was very familiar with many of the enjoyments in Wenxin's country. Yusong tea was drunk by Tang Jie and Xu Miaoran together, and they mentioned it in their conversation. .
It might be normal for Xu Mujun not to know one or two things, but it would be a bit strange to know nothing.
"Maybe she just doesn't have this hobby?" Wei Tianchong said.
"That's right." Tang Jie nodded: "So I finally asked her which one was better, the embroidery workers at Feng Lin Yuan or the embroidery workers at Meijian Fang, and she actually said that Feng Lin Yuan was better...hehe!"
Speaking of this, Tang Jie started laughing strangely.
This made both Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng a little confused. Wei Tianchong said: "It's not inappropriate to say that Fenglinyuan is better, right? Everyone has different preferences. Even if Meijianfang is better, it doesn't necessarily mean that Fenglinyuan is better. What can it explain?"
"The problem is that Meijianfang is a kiln, not an embroidery workshop!"
"What?" The two of them were shocked by his words again.
Tang Jie already smiled and said: "That is an official kiln on the Flower Street of Wanquan City. I went there when we visited the inner city after the big exam. If she is really the eldest lady of the Xu family, she should just say that she has no I’ve heard of Meijianfang. I obviously don’t know but I pretend to know, and I say seriously that the embroidery work in Fenglinyuan is better, it’s obviously because I have something in my heart!”
"So that's it!" The two of them suddenly realized.
"This fake Miss Xu must be Xu Mujun's apprentice. The Xu family is so brave and dares to harbor fugitives. How can they be so bold!" Shi Meng snorted angrily.
I thought that hiding Lin Lang was just a personal act of Xu Mujun, but now it seems that the whole government is collaborating with the enemy, and the nature of the matter suddenly becomes serious.
Even Tang Jie shook his head at this: "Yeah, at first I couldn't believe they dared to do this. But no matter what the reason, they did it anyway."
"Since this is the case, what are you waiting for? Just go in and pull out Lin Lang." Wei Tianchong had already shouted.
Tang Jie smiled and said: "Young Master, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Wei Tianchong was puzzled.
Aren’t they here just to catch Lin Lang? Now that Tang Jie has been confirmed, why do you still say this?
Tang Jie said leisurely: "Actually, the fake Xu Mujun didn't hide it very well. Even if she really has outstanding acting skills, it would be extremely difficult not to show her flaws in front of practitioners, even if she is a student. The Xu family Although they are a wealthy family, they are still just ordinary people. Trying to deceive the eyes of cultivators is simply wishful thinking... Master, don't you find it strange? How did they deceive the master Chang Yu?"
Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng looked at each other, and Shi Meng said, "I think it's probably the effect of those spiritual coins, right?"
Tang Jie nodded: "The Xu family had no hope of being deceived from the beginning, so they used money to pave the way."
Shi Meng somewhat understood: "You mean, Master Chang has confirmed that nothing is wrong with the Xu Mansion. If we find him out now, Master Chang will not be able to step down?"
Tang Jie nodded: "For some things, the more you do, the better. It is more likely that the more you do, the worse! There are always some merits, and perhaps they are born based on the shame and failure of others. To If you want to achieve success, you are destined to offend some beings."
Hearing this, Shimeng Wei Tianchong trembled at the same time.
Wei Tianchong said hurriedly: "Chang Yuping is also a master after all, so there is no need for us to offend him. After completing this task, I may not be able to become a true disciple, but if I offend Master Xiyue, life will be difficult."
"Why do you think Master Changfeng gave this task?" Tang Jie Youyou asked.
"Huh?" The two of them were stunned at the same time: "You mean..."
Tang Jie said seriously: "Chang Yuping is the guru of Lutang. Lutang is one of the eight halls of the Xiyue Sect. It is mainly responsible for internal punishment and law enforcement. Lin Yuanming's case involves foreign affairs. In fact, it is not part of the responsibility of the law hall. It should be handled by the tantang who is responsible for external searches. The people from the law hall came to do this, which is problematic in itself. Do you still remember the factional disputes I told you? ”
Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng looked at each other. Wei Tianchong said carefully: "You mean...this matter involves the fight above?"
Tang Jie chuckled and said: "Chang Yuping enriched his own pockets for his own benefit, took bribes and perverted the law. Most of the people who visited the hall have noticed it. The law hall is a force occupied by conservatives. If they can use the topic to their advantage, they can take advantage of the situation to attack. A force of law hall. They deliberately kept silent. Instead, they used the true mission to let everyone continue to track down Lin Lang, and deliberately left clues, just to let us expose Chang Yuping..."
"I understand." Shi Meng shouted: "Asking the students to find out Chang Yuping is actually pushing the academy to the direction of Master Changfeng!"
"That's right!" Tang Jie nodded affirmatively: "As for Lin Lang, he is just an introduction. He is just a lost dog. He cannot escape, so what impact can he have on Xiyue Sect?"
After this incident, whether Lin Lang is caught or not, Chang Yuping will definitely be in trouble. As for the students who helped Yan Changfeng fight against the conservative forces in order to seek truth, even if they failed to complete the task, because they participated in this matter, they would probably not be popular in the future, and they would have to rely further on Yan Changfeng.
With Yan Changfeng's move, it can be said that he easily made the conservatives suffer a loss and attracted a large number of talents to himself.
Of course, conservatives can also recruit real people to compete, but this approach is too low-level, and it is blatantly confrontational. The most important thing about internal disputes is that they cannot be brought to the table. If the conflicts are made public, many things will be difficult to resolve.
Chang Yuping has his own shortcomings, so don’t blame others for being unreasonable and unforgiving.
If you can't bear this tone, slowly look for opportunities to regain your position in the future - anti-corruption is an eternal weapon in internal battles in any world!
At this moment, Wei Tianchong and the others understood the meaning behind this true transmission. Although Wei Tianchong is a young man with no trouble, he can always understand things once they are broken down and discussed.
This also made him feel that the road to immortality was unpredictable in a real sense. Not only would he have to face countless evil monsters in the future, but he would also face countless cold guns and arrows in the dark. He was a little hesitant for a while. The naivety finally regained some clarity in front of this treacherous fairy road.
At this moment he said: "So, Master Changfeng is forcing us to choose a side?"
"Yes!" Tang Jie replied: "If you want to become a true legend, you have to take a stand. No matter how talented a disciple is, if his heart is not in his own direction, it is useless. Although it is disgusting to express loyalty, But it still has the value and necessity of its existence. Young Master, this task may be the most important of the three tasks. If you can complete it, even if your image and temperament are... ahem, even if there are other outstanding people who complete other tasks. , as long as the gap is not too big, you still have a high chance of being selected."
"What do you mean, do you want me to choose to fight in?"
"I don't have the habit of giving up halfway." Tang Jie said calmly.
Tang Jie told Wei Tianchong the truth, not to make him shrink back, but to let him know what he would face after making his choice.
He didn't want Wei Tianchong to hate himself in the future because he had deceived him. ~IndoMTL.com~ But that would offend..." Wei Tianchong was still hesitant.
"In this life, is there ever a time when you can't offend others? I'm afraid of meaninglessly offending others and making useless grudges! We compete on the path of immortality, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. Young Master, who can achieve the great road, who will step on it? Isn’t it filled with corpses? Don’t hesitate!”
What is surprising is that these words were not said by Tang Jie but by Shi Meng.
At that moment, Tang Jie and Shi Meng looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes at the same time.
With the great road ahead of you, you should move forward bravely and overcome all obstacles.
Goblins and ghosts are dangers, but how can the human heart be sinister?
Wei Tianchong looked around, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, then we will break into him!"
The words were shouted loudly and forcefully, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind.
Just when he was about to rush in, Tang Jie stopped him: "Wait a minute?"
"Is there anything else?" Wei Tianchong was puzzled.
"It's nothing, just take precautions and don't let them run away." As he spoke, Tang Jie swiped away with his finger. As his handprints turned over, the seals fell one by one, and a storm broke out in the world!
"This is..." Wei Tianchong was stunned.
"A small phantom formation, used to trap the enemy and seek revenge!" Tang Jie said in a long voice: "Since the Xu family dares to shelter fugitives and deceive the Immortal Sect, the whole family has violated the law. All of them must be arrested, and no one should be let go! Serve the dream, put down your detecting spiritual eyes, and prevent outsiders from interfering."
"Understood!"
At this moment, Tang Jie no longer concealed his formation strength in front of Wei Tianchong, and a low-level trap had the entire Xu Mansion in his hands.
The Jingmen flag appeared, flying from the sky into the Xu Mansion. The flag was brilliant and magnificent, forming the core of the trapped formation. Everything was confusing, and there were many exclamations inside.
After finishing all this, Tang Jie said in a long voice: "Let's go!"
With a casual punch, he hit the door and smashed it into pieces.
