In the face of Shang Hongzhen''s slightly impolite inquiry, Peng Gong''s face changed slightly, but he immediately returned to normal and said to Wu Changsheng and ye Zan: "Master Wu, elder ye, it''s not because I don''t want to do this. It''s really a small business of our wuzhu sect. I have to rely on me to guard it. It''s really powerless!"
Peng Gong''s excuse is not unreasonable.
The third rate sect of wuzhu sect is now supported by a Yuanying ancestor of Duke Peng. If Duke Peng has any accident outside, wuzhu sect will immediately become an unorthodox sect. In fact, many third rate sects also have such problems. As the ancestor of Yuanying, the pillar of the sect, is not only the strongest combat power of the sect, but also a baby pimple that can''t be surprised.
But the problem is, what can happen if we do rail transit construction instead of attacking the demon sect? Moreover, when doing rail transit construction, it is not a person acting alone. At least five or six Yuanying ancestors are together. Who dares to make their ideas?
Moreover, ye Zan also considers such problems, so there is a principle in the recruitment plan, that is, the "proximity principle". In other words, a group of Yuanying ancestors from all over the world will not be summoned, and then they will rush to work here and there. As far as possible, arrange those who are willing to participate in rail transit construction to work nearby and participate in the project construction in nearby areas.
In this case, Peng Gong still took this as an excuse, just wanted to get benefits from yuqingzong, but didn''t want to make any effort for it, which is somewhat unreasonable.
Hearing Peng Gong''s answer, ye Zan''s face didn''t change, but he couldn''t help laughing. Those Beggars of others, regardless of whether they are liars or not, at least lie on the ground in cold weather, and know that saying "a good man is safe all his life" is hard money. But people like Peng Gong don''t want to pay anything, just want to get benefits. They are not even as good as beggars.
"Oh, that''s true," Ye Zan nodded, as if he agreed with Peng Gong.
Hearing Ye Zan''s words, Peng Gong suddenly felt a trace of joy in his heart. He felt that the thing of "borrowing" Lingdao should be done. He quickly arched his hands and said, "thank elder ye for your understanding."
Then, however, ye Zan looked ashamed, got up, arched his hand to Duke Peng, said with some helplessness: "However, I hope elder Peng can understand that all the spiritual rice in our sect is barely enough for the disciples of our sect. Next, I''d like to invite all Taoist friends to participate in the construction of rail transit. Therefore, I really can''t lend the surplus spiritual rice to your sect."
Ye Zan''s words were like a basin of cold water, which immediately poured cold water on Duke Peng. Duke Peng''s face suddenly became a little ugly, as if he couldn''t believe it. He asked Ye Zan with some questioning: "what does elder Ye mean?"
"What ye Daoyou said can''t be clearer. How can Peng Daoyou still have some ears?" Shang Hongzhen said with some sarcasm.
"Uncle Peng, what elder ye said is exactly what we want to say. The seed of Lingdao is very limited. Even after this period of cultivation, our family is barely enough to spend. Even if we squeeze out some as much as possible, it is also used to thank all friends who have helped our family in rail transit. Why don''t you wait another two years and stay with our family When the days are abundant, let alone "borrow", what is it to give you a batch of spiritual rice? "Wu Changsheng restrained his unhappiness and patiently explained to Peng Gong.
To put it bluntly, he just didn''t borrow it! However, Duke Peng was not stupid enough to turn against yuqingzong, so he smiled a little embarrassed and said, "Wu Zhangjiao, I also know that this matter is a little difficult for your Zong. However, please see that my two clans share the same origin and can help me."
"Hehe, Peng Daoyou just said to ask yuqingzong to help you with wuzhu sect, but yuqingzong now needs help from others in rail transit. Why can''t you make some effort?" Shang Hongzhen sneered nearby. He would say so. On the one hand, he doesn''t want to see Peng Gongbai make a good place, on the other hand, he also means to please yuqingzong.
When Peng Gong heard this, his face sank slightly. He turned to Shang Hongzhen and said, "the rail transit is just for secular mortals. We practitioners should have been far away from secular mortals. How can we be so deeply involved in it. Now that the rail transit of the Tang Dynasty has been built, yuqingzong should get out as soon as possible, so as not to get deeper and deeper in the secular world."
Peng Gong seems to have said this to Shang Hongzhen, but at the same time, he also said it to Wu Changsheng and ye Zan. Anyway, in his opinion, yuqingzong''s rail transit construction is not necessary at all. Those spiritual rice ready to be used for salary might as well be directly "lent" to his own wuzhu sect.
"Elder Peng doesn''t have to say anything. Since our sect has done so, it naturally has a reason. It can be said that the construction of rail transit will be the primary thing of our sect in the future. Therefore, even if our sect disciples can''t enjoy this spiritual rice, they won''t treat all Taoist friends who come to help." Ye Zan said firmly. At the same time, he also told Peng Gong that as long as you help build rail transit, you will not be missing from this Lingdao.
Unfortunately, Duke Peng doesn''t want to work for yuqingzong at all, even if ye Zan always says he is "helping" yuqingzong. Therefore, hearing Ye Zan''s relentless response, Peng Gong''s face looked a little ugly, but he didn''t dare to attack, so he had to suppress his anger and said, "elder Ye''s meaning is that he really doesn''t want to lend me a little spiritual rice regardless of the origin of my two sects?"
Wu Changsheng shook his head and said reluctantly, "please forgive me, uncle Peng. I can''t do it if I don''t want to."
Wu Changsheng, as the leader of Yuqing sect, said such a response, even if he had made a final decision on this matter. Peng Gong stood there and hesitated for a long time. He finally bowed his hands and said, "well, in that case, I won''t bother much. Goodbye!"
With these words, Duke Peng turned and left the Yuqing hall without waiting for Wu Changsheng and ye Zan to react.
"Peng Daoyou is too..." seeing Peng Gong leave, Shang Hongzhen smiled in his heart, but his face was angry, as if it was worthless for Yu qingzong.
Of course, Shang Hongzhen''s thoughts, whether Wu Changsheng or Ye Zan, are very clear in his heart. Ye Zan shook his head, turned back to master Shang Hongzhen and master Wuchen and said, "Taoist friend Shang, master Wuchen, since they saw the announcement and came to help yuqingzong, I might as well talk about the announcement in detail."
"Taoist ye, please speak." Shang Hongzhen and mage Wuchen said.
After a talk, the two sides soon settled the terms of cooperation. Qingyue Jianzong is a second rate sect. There will be two ancestors of Yuanying to join the construction project of rail transit. After all, Guangfa sect is only a third rate sect, so master Wuchen is the only one who works for Yuqing sect.
At the same time, Peng Gong, who failed to borrow a grain of Lingdao, also angrily returned to the wuzhu sect. He felt that he had lost face. He didn''t even talk to the leader who asked about the situation. He went straight back to his residence in the back mountain of wanzhufeng.
Seeing Peng Gong paying like this, the people of wuzhu sect don''t need to ask. They all know that Peng Gong must have hit a nail in yuqingzong. For this result, everyone was quite disappointed. Of course, they were also very angry. Hate yuqingzong really ignored the friendship between the two clans and angered his ancestors like this.
When he returned to his residence, Duke Peng only felt that his resentment was hard to calm, but when he thought of the current momentum of yuqingzong, his heart was weak again. Today''s yuqingzong is not the time to be suppressed by the wuzhu sect and the Jinguang sect. If the wuzhu sect really has any ideas, I''m afraid it will end up like the Jinguang sect in the twinkling of an eye.
Just then, suddenly a voice came into Peng Gong''s ear.
"Well, now you can appreciate the meaning of ''warm and cold human relations, the world is hot and cold''? Do you know why yuqingzong doesn''t talk about friendship so much?"
Hearing this, Peng Gong was stunned. First, the voice was very strange, and second, he didn''t notice anyone approaching.
"Who''s talking?" Duke Peng immediately stood up, took out the black jade and nine star bamboo in his hand, and looked in the direction of the voice.
"Hehe, don''t be nervous. If I want to be bad for you, you can''t help holding that broken bamboo." with the voice, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of Peng Gong, from fuzzy distortion to clear and solid.
The man looked like a middle-aged man, wearing a plain Taoist robe without any sect logo. Aware of the unfathomable cultivation of the other party, Duke Peng frowned and asked in a deep voice, "who are you... And why are you trespassing into our wuzhu sect?"
"Trespass? It''s just a third rate sect. Do I still need to trespass?" the man said proudly.
Yuan Shen Da Neng!
According to Peng Gong''s realm of Yuanying, I can''t see the cultivation of the other party. Obviously, the other party is at least the realm of Yuanshen.
"Sir... I don''t know why you came to wuzhu sect." Duke Peng couldn''t help feeling nervous. His first thought was yuqingzong. Although he is no stranger to Mo Ru, today''s yuqingzong still has four Keqing elders in yuanshenjing. Although yuqingzong held a celebration for the four Keqing elders at the beginning, he also saw the four yuan gods. Is it difficult to change their appearance for yuan gods?
"Don''t panic, don''t panic. I can''t see that your wuzhu sect is bullied by the Yuqing sect this time. So I''m here to give you a chance." the man said with a smile, but there was some disdain in his eyes.
"Give me a chance?" Peng Gong certainly didn''t immediately believe each other. However, as the other party said before, if the other party is really bad for him and wuzhu sect, there is no need to play any tricks. Just crush it with direct strength.
"Yes, you haven''t answered what I asked just now. Do you know why yuqingzong doesn''t pay attention to your black bamboo sect?" the man still smiled and asked Duke Peng.
Hearing this, Duke Peng showed a trace of bitterness on his face and said reluctantly, "why can you laugh at me? It''s not because the strength of our wuzhu sect is low, and it''s not enough for him to be led by yuqingzong."
In other words, the black bamboo sect has no use value at all in yuqingzong. Yuqingzong will no longer pay attention to the black bamboo sect.
The man smiled and then asked with some temptation, "so, do you want to let the wuzhu sect regain the strength to compete with yuqingzong, and you don''t need to see yuqingzong''s face anymore?"
"Well, why don''t you think about it, but can you think of it?" Duke Peng put away the black jade and nine star bamboo and said to the man with a ashamed face: "If we want to compete with Yuqing emperor, we should at least be able to produce a yuan God. But I''m ashamed that my younger generation has limited qualifications. Now I''ve done my best to enter the realm of Yuan Ying. Where dare I expect the realm of yuan God?"
"Hehe, you really can''t do it, but I can help you." the face showed some satisfaction.
"Elder, do you mean to join our wuzhu sect?" Duke Peng asked with disbelief on his face. At the same time, there was a sudden tension in his heart. He was not stupid. The reason why Yuqing sect had Yuanshen as a guest elder was that there was no such Yuanshen as a guest elder. However, in wuzhu sect, there was no Yuanshen at all. I''m afraid if we introduce a Yuanshen as a guest elder The black bamboo sect will become something else.
"Hiss!" the man sneered with disdain and said impolitely, "you little black bamboo sect, also deserve me to join?"
Peng Gong was blocked when he heard the other side''s words. Although he was relieved of his own worries, his answer was too ruthless. However, in the face of a yuan Shen Da Neng, he dared not show a trace of dissatisfaction, and carefully asked, "I don''t know what the elder meant?"
After hearing Peng Gong''s question, he reached out and touched the heaven and earth ring. Suddenly, a fist sized bead appeared in his hand. The bead, emitting a faint light, looked like a night pearl, but looking carefully at the light, it was composed of infinite Avenue runes.
"This is a chance I''ll give you. As long as you take this pill, it''s only a blink of an eye to step into the realm of Yuanshen." the man took the bead and said to Duke Peng.
No fool knows that there is no pie falling from the sky in this world. Even if the so-called divine pill can really make people step into the realm of Yuanshen, it must cost people something. Duke Peng didn''t reach out to pick up the divine pill, his eyes turned around the divine pill and the face and asked, "senior, can this divine pill really help me step into the realm of Yuanshen?"
"Don''t mention that you are a Yuanying realm. Even those who build the foundation can step into the Yuanshen realm after taking this divine pill." the man said proudly.
"However, the elder gave such a precious thing to the younger generation, but he didn''t know what to give back to the younger generation?" Duke Peng couldn''t help but ask the other party with his remaining reason.
