Chapter 60 Those who do not fear life are not worthy of living
In the back hall of Daoxuanzong, Zhong Lin was telling a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a purple jade Taoist crown and a purple Taoist robe what had just happened.
This person is Yu Baiqian, the leader of Daoxuan Sect, ‘Shenji Sanren’.
In fact, the only person in Daoxuanzong who was related to the Taoist sect was his sect leader. He had been a Taoist priest in the south, but for some reason he later returned to secular life.
After coming to Donglin County, he became a Taoist priest again and joined Daoxuan Sect, which was not very powerful at that time, with several secret techniques.
It can be said that for Daoxuanzong to reach its current scale, his role is even greater than that of the founder of Daoxuanzong in the past.
"Call me Du Ziyang."
After listening, Yu Baiqian gave the order with an expressionless face.
After a while, a young man in his twenties walked in and bowed cautiously: "Master, Elder Zhong, what can I do?"
Yu Baiqian snorted coldly: "Don't you know the good things you did? Even if you kill people, you also drive other people's families to a dead end. Now it's fine. Things got serious and Jingyesi came to visit.
coming!
I told you to concentrate on cultivating within the sect, but you didn’t listen, and you got into such big trouble just once when you went out!”
Zhong Lin told the story again and sighed: "You, you, you have already killed that guy, why do you have to do so much more?"
When Du Ziyang heard that the matter was serious, he immediately trembled and whispered: "This disciple is just angry. No one thought that that woman could actually use the secret technique of blood sacrifice to attract ghosts."
In fact, the original dispute was very simple. Du Ziyang took a fancy to a piece of rough embryo brought back by the caravan from Western Xinjiang, which was a good material for making weapons. He thought that ordinary people did not know the goods, so he wanted to buy it with a few taels of silver. Who could
Chengxiang caravan actually has some very knowledgeable people.
Although he was the head disciple, he really didn't have that much money in his pocket at that time, so he wanted to buy it by force. As a result, he even reported the name of Daoxuanzong, and there was actually a stupid young man who dared to stop him.
Du Ziyang is one of the few orthodox Qi practitioners in Daoxuan Sect. He knows very few secret techniques of the Left Dao, and his physical strength is far inferior to that of Li Zonghan, who has practiced some boxing and kicking skills. When he was arguing with him, he was punched by him, and he became angry and started to fight.
murderous.
Originally, once the person died, that was the end of the matter.
But who would have thought that this matter would be spread to the mountains, and he would be ridiculed by other Daoxuan Sect disciples. This made him more and more angry, so he went to the head of Lijia Village to embarrass his widow.
As he said that, Du Ziyang glanced at Yu Baiqian cautiously: "Master, what does Jingyesi want to do here? To pursue this matter? This disciple does not want to enter Jingyesi's black prison!"
Yu Baiqian hummed and said, "Are you afraid now? Go back and practice!"
After driving away Du Ziyang, Yu Baiqian said to Zhong Lin: "Go and find Chen Chongshan, the night watchman of Fengyuan County. He has taken so many benefits from our Dao Xuanzong. It's time for him to contribute. I'll go and meet with that Gu."
Sincerity."
Yu Baiqian walked out of the door and said in a deep voice: "Pindao is Yu Baiqian, the leader of Daoxuan Sect. Zhong Lin has told me everything just now. I don't know what you mean, Mr. Gu?"
Yu Baiqian looked at Gu Cheng, but his attitude was actually somewhat condescending.
In terms of strength, Yu Baiqian is actually one of the rare practitioners who is an orthodox Qi Refiner. He has reached the pinnacle of the Seven Realms of Qi Refining and is only one step away from the Sixth Realm of Condensation.
Different from the Qi Refiners in the Qi Refining and Spirit-nurturing realms, those in the Visualization Realm can already visualize Taoist spells, spells and other things in their minds, and can instantly cast various Taoist talismans. Their combat power can be said to be worlds apart from those in the Yangshen Realm.
, as long as there is a suitable distance, it can even kill warriors of the same level.
The most important thing is that Yu Baiqian also practiced a lot of left-handed secret techniques in his later period. Although it did not improve his cultivation level much, it increased his combat effectiveness a lot and made up for the shortcomings of his weak body. Even if
Warriors who had reached the sixth level of blood gushing did not gain the upper hand against him.
Therefore, in Yu Baiqian's view, Cui Zijie was the only one in Jingyesi of Heyang Prefecture who could talk to him on an equal footing.
Gu Cheng knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "It's very simple, hand over Du Ziyang!
Kill someone to pay for your life, and pay your debts for money.
Because Du Ziyang alone has ruined hundreds of lives, killing him ten or a hundred times is not an exaggeration!
There are currently more than thirty people alive in Lijia Village. As long as he is taken back and sacrificed to the evil spirits, his resentment can be calmed and those people can be saved."
"impossible!"
Yu Baiqian waved his hand and flatly refused.
"I asked my disciple just now, and it is true that Li Zonghan was killed by him, but we are all Jianghu people. It is normal to accidentally kill someone during an argument, isn't it?
Also, he didn’t instruct any village chief to target his family members, it’s clearly just those unscrupulous people who preyed on them randomly!”
Du Ziyang is his direct disciple. The most important thing is that Du Ziyang is the only practitioner among the current generation of young disciples of Daoxuan Sect who has the talent of a Qi Refiner.
Although the secret techniques of the left path are powerful, their achievements are limited. Elders like Zhong Lin who specialize in the secret techniques of the left path may be at the end of their lives.
Only practitioners like him and Du Ziyang, who specialize in Qi cultivation, have a broader future.
Besides, even if this person was not Du Ziyang, but a disciple of the Ordinary Dao Xuan Sect, he would not surrender to anyone.
If someone comes to Dao Xuanzong to ask for someone, Dao Xuanzong will hand him over. What do you think of Dao Xuanzong? Does he have no face for Dao Xuanzong?
Gu Cheng stared at Yu Baiqian: "But there are still more than thirty lives in the ghost realm!"
Yu Baiqian said calmly: "Then my disciple's life is no longer his life?"
"Sect Leader Yu doesn't intend to surrender?"
Yu Baiqian flicked his sleeves and hummed: "What a joke! If anyone wants to ask for help from Dao Xuan Sect, then is there any point for Dao Xuan Sect to exist? I, the sect leader, might as well give up my position!"
The atmosphere between the two parties was extremely depressed. At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the door:
"Haha, you two should calm down first. Let's discuss things together. Why should we be so tit-for-tat?"
A middle-aged warrior in his forties with a smile on his face and wearing Yasushi's black black armor walked in.
He said to Gu Cheng: "Brother Gu, right? I am Chen Chongshan, the night watchman of Fengyuan County."
"It turns out to be Mr. Chen."
When Gu Cheng saw Zhong Lin walking closely behind Chen Chongshan, he couldn't help but frown slightly. He had already guessed the relationship between him and Daoxuanzong.
It is true that Jingyesi and the practice sect are opposites, but that does not mean that both sides must fight to the death.
Take Chen Chongshan, the night watchman of Fengyuan County, for example. When he was not a night watchman, he took some of the benefits of Daoxuan Sect and opened some convenient doors for his disciples.
Because of these benefits, his cultivation speed was much faster than other Xuanjia guards, so he became a night watchman.
Since then, Daoxuanzong has given him endless benefits. After all, Daoxuanzong is within the jurisdiction of Fengyuan County. It is convenient to have a good relationship with the local night watchman.
Chen Chongshan pulled Gu Cheng aside and whispered: "Brother Gu, I've heard about what happened in Luo County. Everything has already happened. There is no point in pursuing who is right or wrong.
This matter has little to do with you. If the commander investigates it in the future, he won't blame you.
How about this, you give me some face, brother, and let this matter go. As for Daoxuanzong, I will help you talk about it. If you sell them a favor, they can also give you some benefits."
Gu Cheng glanced at the other party: "Forget it? The ghost realm is still there, and there are more than thirty living people in the ghost realm, so let's forget it?"
Seeing Gu Cheng's attitude, the smile on Chen Chongshan's face gradually disappeared and he said calmly: "Brother Gu, you have only been a night watchman for a few days, and there are still some things you haven't seen through.
Do many people die from demons and ghosts in Donglin County every year? It’s really not many, so what does more than thirty people count?
There is a rebellion in western Xinjiang, and hundreds of thousands of troops have turned in. In the south, rebel parties and cults are gaining momentum, massacring cities and exterminating ethnic groups. How many people will die every year?
You and I are both common people. Don't think of yourself as a Bodhisattva. There are so many lawsuits about human lives in the world. Can you handle it?
Heed my brother's advice, and you can get further by pretending to be deaf and mute, just like the governor above.
People who meddle in other people's own business usually don't live long."
Gu Cheng let out a long breath. He suddenly felt a feeling called anger, anger at their lack of respect for life.
Chen Chongshan is right in saying that Gu Cheng is not a Bodhisattva, he is just a layman.
Regardless of past and present life, there were too many injustices and injustices that he could not control.
Even Gu Cheng's methods against the Three Gangs in Luoxian County and the Changle Gang were not so glorious. They could be described as unscrupulous.
However, Meng Hantang's words have always been remembered by Gu Cheng in his heart.
As a practitioner, you have control over power that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. You must have a bottom line, otherwise, how are you different from demons and ghosts?
Gu Cheng is a person who has died twice. Only those who have died often know how precious life is and how to cherish it.
But Yu Baiqian didn't know this, and neither did Chen Chongshan.
People who do not respect life are not worthy of living in this world.
Sometimes killing to stop killing, violence to violence, and life for life may be the fastest way to solve the problem.
No one can tell clearly the pros and cons of right or wrong.
Gu Cheng never thinks that what he does is right, he only does what he thinks he should do.
Looking up at Yu Baiqian and Chen Chongshan, Gu Cheng said, "So, are you still not ready to hand over the favor?"
Chen Chongshan frowned, thinking that all those words he just said were in vain?
Yu Baiqian sneered disdainfully.
I don’t know why a night watchman, who is not even a night watchman who has jurisdiction over his Dao Xuan Sect, dares to insist on controlling important people of his Dao Xuan Sect!
Gu Cheng laughed loudly and cupped his hands at the two of them: "I understand, I'll say goodbye and see you tomorrow."
Gu Cheng smiled brightly, as if nothing had happened.
But if Lei Peng saw his smile, he would definitely feel familiar.
Even in the days after Du Xinwu and Hua Qing died, Lei Peng was still having nightmares about this smile.
