There is actually nothing wrong with what Lin Zheng said. No one wants to be used as a gunman for no reason, let alone kill people casually.
What's more, with his current strength, no one can tell him what to do.
Even if Jiulian layman is a senior and an elder of the Dragon Group, it will not work.
Lin Zheng has his own code of conduct.
After hearing what Lin Zheng said, Jiulian layman was not angry, but showed a satisfied smile: "This is the future successor I am looking for! Lin Zheng, you have a bottom line, perseverance, and a benevolent heart. This
It is very important for the successor of the Dragon Group! The Dragon Group has too much power and lacks supervision. If the people of the Presbyterian Church lose this original intention, the harm will be huge, and it will also be harmful to the people and the Dragon Kingdom.
Become a huge threat.”
"Senior, please wait! What did you say about your successor just now?"
Lin Zheng was a little confused.
I had only been in the Dragon Team for a few days, and the detective still didn't understand why he wanted to be his successor.
What the hell is this layman Jiulian doing?
Jiulian layman motioned Lin Zheng to sit down and said slowly: "Don't be anxious, let's talk slowly.
You should understand what the successor means, and the Dragon Group Elders Council currently has five people. We will go to the Cave Heaven Secret Realm in one year, and by then the Dragon Group will be in your hands."
"Are you going to the Cave Heaven Secret Realm?
go together?"
Lin Zheng was taken aback.
Jiulian layman nodded, with a hint of worry on his face: "Originally, according to the regulations, whenever the Cave Heaven Secret Realm is opened, at least two people from the Elders Council must stay to hold the formation. However, because the Cave Heaven Secret Realm was not opened on time last time, so now
Several of the elders have passed the best time to go to the secret realm. If they delay any longer, they may be in danger.
So we can only make this decision.
But before you go, you still need to choose your successor."
"Senior, you mean that the Cave Heaven Secret Realm is opened every once in a while, but it was not opened last time?"
In just a few short words, Lin Zheng learned a lot of secrets.
Jiulian layman nodded and said: "Yes, the secret realm of Dongtian will be opened every thirty years.
At that time, all practitioners in this world who meet the conditions will go to the Cave Heaven Secret Realm.
But last time, for some unknown reason, it didn't turn on.
So much so that this session of the Elders Council of the Dragon Group has been waiting for a long time."
"Next year is the time when the Cave Heaven Secret Realm will be opened, so our five elders are all looking for their successors, and you are the successor I am looking for. As for letting you serve as the ninth group of detectives, it is to increase your rights.
But whether you can become a great elder depends on yourself.
Of course, I have confidence in you."
Lin Zheng pondered for a moment and asked: "You said before that the situation in the Dragon Group is a bit complicated now. What's going on?"
Jiulian layman sighed and said: "The Cave Heaven Secret Realm was not opened last time, and several other elders missed the best opportunity, so that now their bodies and cultivation have suffered great damage. To be more precise, they
Now I have too much time to take care of myself, so I have left the internal affairs of the Dragon Group to the people below."
“The authority of the Kelong Group is too great, and by delegating power, the people below have done a lot of excessive things.
By the time we realize that those people have become powerful, even the elders can't just solve the problem.
In addition, we suspect that there may be support from the Phoenix behind these people."
"The reason why I let you kill people is not to use you, but to ask you to help us clean up the house! The evidence of those people's crimes is clearly recorded in the archives. You can check it yourself."
Lin Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "Senior, you don't have to wait for the opening time to go to the Cave Heaven Secret Realm, right?
Didn’t Xiao Qi just pass by last time?”
"The special key to the secret realm of Cave Heaven is not so easy to find.
What's more, the Lihuo Monument you found in the Li Palace can only be visited by two people at a time, which is too restrictive.
And the most important thing is that only by going to the Cave Heaven Secret Realm through formal channels will you be accepted by the people there, otherwise you will be a stowaway and you will not be able to walk outside openly in the future, and you will be executed if you are caught."
Jiulian layman explained.
"Then you still want Xiao Qi to go?"
Lin Zheng said in confusion.
"There is an opportunity for her, how can I wait to stop it?
If you lose this time, you may regret it for the rest of your life.
So it’s worth taking a little risk.”
Lin Zheng nodded and asked again: "When Xiao Qi came back from the Cave Heaven Secret Realm, he should have told you all about his experience.
Behind this phoenix is the Xuanyuan family in the Cave Heaven Secret Realm. What is their plan to support the phoenix here?"
“It’s up to you to find the answer to this question.
Lin Zheng, I am not worried about your strength, but sometimes you are still too kind.
You must know that kindness to your enemies is cruelty to yourself.
If you give some evil people a chance, they will not only be ungrateful, but they may also retaliate against you twice, and even implicate your family."
"How dare they do something to my family?"
Lin Zheng said in a deep voice.
Jiulian layman sighed: "Now I don't dare to use the honor of the Dragon Group to vouch for their conscience.
Because those people have changed and lost their original intentions! And ever since you agreed to join the Dragon Group, you have become a thorn in their side."
"Why do I feel like you dug a hole for me?"
Lin Zheng said with a grimace.
Jiulian layman patted Lin Zheng on the shoulder and said: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
This is the way the world is.
Even if you don't want to cause trouble, as long as you reach that level, trouble will come to you.
This is something that can’t be helped.”
"It seems that when things have reached this point, I have no good choice."
Lin Zhengdao.
“You don’t have to choose, letting nature take its course is the best choice.”
Having said this, the layman Jiulian ended this topic.
"Chen Shu has good qualifications. I will train her for a while, and when I leave, I will have more helpers for you."
"Senior, senior wizard from the ancient village is with you..." Lin Zheng asked curiously.
Jiulian layman did not say anything. He stood up and walked outside: "Go and keep Chen Shu company. She has been thinking about you these days... I really envy you young people."
Lin Zheng digested what layman Jiulian told him, and then returned to the bedroom.
Chen Shu didn't sleep, and was reading a book under the night light while waiting for him.
"Is everything finished?"
Chen Shu hugged Lin Zheng who was on the bed and asked.
Lin Zheng nodded, hugged Chen Shu, kissed her between the eyebrows, and said, "I'm going to the Imperial Capital tomorrow night to attend a meeting... I'm so sorry that I couldn't be with you throughout the winter vacation."
"If you say I have no complaints, I would definitely be lying to you.
But I'm not an ignorant girl. If you don't have to, you will definitely not leave me alone.
So don’t be distracted by me and just do your thing. As long as you are safe, it is the best love for me.”
Chen Shu leaned against Lin Zheng's chest and said emotionally.
