break the way [comprehension]
Chapter 62
When Du Ziteng returned to Yunheng Peak after a busy day in Xianyuan Town, the sky was full of stars. He quickly thanked the escorting brothers before returning to Feihao Courtyard.
At this time, under the reflection of the brilliant galaxy, the ranking of Feihao Academy on the square has reached the unprecedented fourth place, and even the third place above the head is only a slight gap in merit points, and this is only the first day of the auction.
All this had been expected by Du Ziteng. Seeing this scene, he just smiled and turned back.When he was going down to the courtyard, he suddenly felt a little dazed. The rope ladder he went down was newly replaced, strong, stable and beautiful, and he was standing in the courtyard with a defensive formation. He suddenly realized that he had been in this courtyard years.
A year ago, everything in this ruined yard was still vivid in his mind, but now, he looked around at the wooden house hanging in the air. Although it was still a wooden structure, he didn't know which senior had repaired it, and even the narrow aisle was still open. The flower vines were born with magic, which looks quiet and elegant. This situation is no longer what it was a year ago.
In the past year, he has long been no longer the poor boy in Xianyuan Town who just joined the Hengxiao Sword Sect by luck. He is a disciple of Jiange, a major shareholder of Jane's Spiritual Object Shop, and an agent of the Niubei Chamber of Commerce... the people he knows have also passed away. Far beyond what his age and cultivation level should know.
Under the vast starry sky, among the flowers and trees supporting the Soviet Union, Du Ziteng quietly felt that in a corner of his heart, there still lived the boy who opened his eyes to forget the past and had nothing. Where did the fear come from.
Does my own understanding of talismans really depend on my ingenuity?Why is my understanding of talismans so profound and different compared to Yunwan, a well-known and decent disciple in the cultivation world, those words blurted out as if imprinted deep in my heart... as if I was born knowing it.
There are also merit points. Du Ziteng is caressing the cloud rank order in his arms. The merit points on it are enough to disdain all the outer disciples. From the establishment of the chamber of commerce, the gimmick of the auction, to the final exchange link, he planned step by step, taking a look around...
Under the sky full of stars, Du Ziteng felt a kind of panic and loneliness that he had never felt before. He could do all these things so easily, what kind of person was he in the past?Why had he never heard of a person like him in the cultivation world?
Du Ziteng, who are you?
The stars are shining brightly, but they are silent.
The strong wind between the cliffs passed through the corridor, blowing the flowers and leaves rustling, and a voice said in surprise: "Junior Brother Du, how long have you been back? Why didn't you come in?"
Du Ziteng woke up suddenly, but when he looked up, he saw a few gentle and concerned faces. He couldn't help laughing at himself because of the warmth in his heart. Today, he was probably aroused by so many myths by the person who was with Wen Renling. .
He also responded with a smile: "Just now I was engrossed in thinking about something, how many brothers haven't rested yet?"
As soon as the words came out, Du Ziteng came back to his senses and asked himself a silly question. Fang Ping and the others all participated in the auction today, because he still had closing matters and things to arrange for the next day's auction, so they came back early , but now they are still together—obviously waiting for themselves.
Du Ziteng laughed again and said: "I haven't been back for a few days, and there have been some changes in the yard, which makes me feel much more comfortable."
Meng Lin laughed: "It's all thanks to Senior Brother Fang. If our Feihao Court becomes one of the upper three courts, it will definitely not be what it used to be."
Today, Fang Ping calculated the merit points obtained by Du Ziteng at the auction, while paying attention to the
Du Ziteng knew that when he was busy outside, the senior brothers did not relax and never stopped drawing talismans. Although the increased merit points were limited, Du Ziteng was very happy, at least he was not working hard alone.
A few people entered the house while chatting and laughing, Lin Cong was there, it was rare for Feihao Courtyard to be full of people.
Seeing these people chatting happily, it was obvious that Du Ziteng was the last one to get started, but Fang Ping and the others unconsciously centered on him like stars around the moon. Lin Cong only felt extremely uncomfortable, but he I can't tell whether I don't like the happy conversation of this group of people, or I don't like Du Ziteng's appearance of "coming from behind".
It is obvious that Feihaoyuan's merit points have risen sharply today, and the ranking is rising extremely violently. Du Ziteng is indeed a man with means. One of the courtyards, and he can also fulfill his wish, enjoy one of the best opportunities in the sect, and go to the dawn secret realm to find opportunities.
But for some reason in his heart, there were mixed feelings, and the joy was covered up by other tastes, making it difficult for him to show a smiling face to face Du Ziteng.
Of course, Du Ziteng didn't care too much, he just nodded politely to Lin Cong, and then turned his head and said: "You don't need to be like this, I'm also a member of Feihaoyuan, all of this is as it should be .Speaking of which, I would like to thank a few senior brothers, if not for a few senior brothers who are familiar with the situation of the sect and told me that inner disciples hold a lot of merit points, how could I have come up with such an idea?"
Lin Cong snorted coldly, what kind of effort is this?Anyone who has only been in the field for a few years doesn't know this!
He couldn't help but said in a strange way: "So you guys are stupid, what is there to thank, no matter how good he did, the merit points are only in his hands, what does it have to do with you? The ranking of the Ninth Academy People just do it as they please, so there is no need for you to thank them!"
Fang Ping scolded angrily: "I'll say it again for the last time, if you don't want to come back, get the hell out of us! Don't just sit around doing business all day long and only know how to flatter and flatter me! Junior Brother Du has worked so hard to make my ranking in Feihao Academy rise. You What did you do? Is it your turn to speak!"
Tan Ying also said coldly: "Junior Brother Du earned the merit points himself, so why not take it as a matter of course? You earn it yourself if you are jealous, and you don't want to make progress but want to provoke the relationship between the same sect, you will be punished!"
Even Meng Lin felt that what Lin Cong said was disgusting, so he just looked at him with disgust, and didn't even want to talk to him.
For a moment, Lin Cong felt that all the fellow students in the same courtyard had changed. He had become a target of criticism in this Feihao courtyard. It was obvious that the boy was the last one to come. Could it be that they were all willing to give in to this kid? Next, let him eat alone?
But this accusation was full of words, Lin Cong was tongue-tied, and it was difficult to argue for a while.
Du Ziteng only said calmly: "Before, we had a verbal agreement that I would fight for the opportunity to break through the secret realm. Now that the matter has not yet been decided, do you want to bring trouble to Xiao Qiang, Senior Brother Lin?"
Lin Cong didn't know what to say anymore. He had attracted so many accusations with just one sentence, and he already knew where the people were going. He always wanted to develop himself in the direction of common inscriptions, and observing words and emotions was naturally one of his important skills in the outside world. , such a change in the situation in Feihao Courtyard has long been clear, no matter what he says or does, as long as he disobeys Du Ziteng, it is wrong. For a moment, when he realized this, Lin Cong only felt his mouth full of bitterness, bowed his head silently, and stopped talking .
But Tan Yingsu was always alert, but she sensed Du Ziteng's implication: "Junior Brother, do you think there is still a change in the matter of going to the Third Court?"
Du Ziteng just shook his head and said: "As long as the Ninth Court has no order, there will always be variables, it just depends on the size of the variables."
Lin Cong is someone who understands the stakes. Even if he is reluctant at this time, Du Ziteng is the biggest guarantee for him to enter the secret realm of dawn. It is Du Ziteng who slaps him ten times and makes him kneel down to beg for mercy. He will do the same, and wanting to understand this, he suppressed the emotions in his heart and told him one by one: "I see that after the auction today, Mr. Ge and Senior Brother Cui both looked a little gloomy when they left— —They are afraid that they will have a new move.”
However, this involves coping methods for advanced capital operations. Fang Ping and the others are anxious but at a loss.
He turned to another question: "I was at the auction today, brothers, do you still remember the first lot?"
Meng Lin chuckled: "Elder brother's saber, of course I remember it! Junior brother, you and Elder Qian are really good means, this item is really amazing... At that time, there were many sword cultivators in the outer sect, and even senior brother Cui wanted to shoot it. It's a pity that the inner disciple and Mr. Ge are too fierce, tsk tsk."
Du Ziteng explained while trying to recall the scene at that time: "That inner disciple is Wen Renling. I sold the script that day, and he led the trouble...today there is still a person sitting beside him, and I said a few words to him , he seems to be quite convinced of that person, but I look a little familiar with that person, but I really can't remember where I saw him..."
Fang Ping didn't pay attention at all at the time, and he has no clue now.It was even worse for Meng Lin, who only paid attention to Wen Renling and Ge Lin as they came and went, watching the excitement excitedly, so he didn't have the heart to look at other people.
But Tan Ying thought about it carefully, but said: "I seem to remember that there was a person whose appearance should be so ordinary, I can't remember it now. If you are familiar with Du Shidi, there should be few people on Yunhengfeng, but I'm sure I don't know this person."
Du Ziteng frowned. The lingering sense of familiarity brought by this person, as well as the possible connection with his past, really made Du Ziteng worry about it, but there was no clue at all, which made him a little upset.
Lin Cong said abruptly, "Are you sure you listened to what he said?"
Du Ziteng nodded in surprise: "Of course, I saw with my own eyes that after the man spoke, Wen Renling actually postponed his bid. Otherwise, Mr. Ge would never have asked him to bid at that price so easily."
Lin Cong only said slowly: "I heard Mr. Ge and the others mentioned in their chats and jokes that Wen Renling and his group are all true kendo lunatics. They all have shortcomings in kendo, but because of these shortcomings, they all achieved invincible power. Hearing that Wen Renling went crazy, he would deny his relatives, he would kill until there was no living thing in front of him like a butcher, and he would really stop, even his master might not be able to make him bow his head and obey his ears like this."
It was the first time Fang Ping and the others heard that there was such a terrifying character in the true biography of the inner sect, and they couldn't help being dumbfounded.
And Du Ziteng frowned even tighter, reflecting the news that Lin Cong had just revealed, a name was ready to come out in his heart.
Lin Cong looked at Du Ziteng, with complicated and deep eyes intertwined: "But in the inner sect, everyone knows that this group of lunatics are following the lead of senior brother Xiao... Although this guess is bold, it seems that it can only be true. The Chief himself."
Fang Ping, Tan Ying, and Meng Lin all took a deep breath: "True Chief!"He actually appeared in front of them in person!
"This...how is this possible? That's a Golden Core cultivator..."
"Eldest senior brother showed up in person, why didn't I pay attention, I should have seen more, alas!"
"According to your speculation, it means that Senior Brother Xiao has changed his appearance? Otherwise, how could there be so many inner disciples who couldn't recognize him? Given his status, why hide his true appearance?"
Amidst all these chaotic speculations, Du Ziteng thought strangely: If an idol appeared in his fan group in an easy way, it would be a real joy... But this still didn't solve the confusion in Du Ziteng's heart. To make this confusion even more intense, why does this chief of the true biography feel familiar?Is it just because he once saved his life?
Lin Cong only made a bold guess based on the information he knew, how could he be sure of the truth of this guess.When the few of them questioned, he just snorted coldly: "How can you and I speculate on such a talented Jindan monk?" But Du Ziteng is really amazing to be able to alert such Xiao Chen to participate in the auction in person. .
However, Du Ziteng was aroused by Lin Cong's words. On the surface, he had a few foundation-builder monks around him to protect him in this auction. One hundred thousand, such a huge amount, plus so many spiritual objects of almost equivalent value on the scene, and so many expatriate monks present... Could it be that the Jindan monk who was curious to take a look at Xiao Chen appeared on the spot?
Du Ziteng's back was dripping with cold sweat, Xiao Chen, a Golden Core cultivator, could appear so unknowingly, so would there be Golden Core cultivators from other sects sneaking in among the crowd?Without Xiao Chen, or Xiao Chen and others, would today's auction have ended so smoothly?
It was only now that Du Ziteng found out that for merit points, he had unknowingly stood at the forefront of the storm, and it was even very possible that the Hengxiao Sword Sect had to use monks of Xiao Chen's level to suppress the situation.
And all this is far from over, as Du Ziteng had predicted, even if he put himself in such a dangerous situation, there were still "variables" in the matter of his taking merit points-early the next morning, the Danjia Academy publicly issued two Buy merit points from all disciples for the price of a spirit stone!
At this time, under the reflection of the brilliant galaxy, the ranking of Feihao Academy on the square has reached the unprecedented fourth place, and even the third place above the head is only a slight gap in merit points, and this is only the first day of the auction.
All this had been expected by Du Ziteng. Seeing this scene, he just smiled and turned back.When he was going down to the courtyard, he suddenly felt a little dazed.
