Today I hold the world

As Yu Shu stepped onto the Broken Water Cliff step by step, Nie Qing felt a lot of apprehension as he walked around, not having time to look at the surrounding scenery. When he crossed the gate of the Red Dragon Palace, he had vaguely seen that person.

When I saw this revered elder brother again, he was already a senior in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and Nie Qing blurted out the words he had already prepared: "I haven't seen you for many years, elder brother...something has changed."

What he said seemed to come to an abrupt end, and it was inevitable that the volume would be a little lower when he continued. It wasn't Nie Qing who did it deliberately, but Master Zhong, who thought there would be no major changes, had indeed changed a lot.

Originally, what I wanted to tout was 'big brother's style is still the same', because after entering the Foundation Establishment, the body will be greatly reshaped, and most monks are getting younger and younger, but the people in front of them are no longer as handsome as they were back then, and their temperament has increased. A lot of calm and prudent, giving people the feeling that they are really like a head teacher, and the whole body naturally exudes an inexplicable majesty, but when you look closely, you think it is ordinary.

Nie Qing couldn't figure out what it was like for a while. He always felt that the master Zhong seemed to have experienced a lot, or it was simply a change after entering the foundation building period. It's an illusion, as if the person has lived for more than a hundred years. If you look at the ancient well with your eyes, there is no wave, but if you look closely, it is full of stars.

After Yu Shu brought Nie Qing to him, Shi Li left and left only Zhong Ziyan and Nie Qing in the hall.

Zhong Ziyan was wearing a black and white Taoist robe with black and white patterns, and his hair was tied with a wooden hairpin. He looked at Nie Qing with his hands behind his back, and said with a gentle smile, "You didn't live and practice in the north, why did you come to my door?"

No matter how many feelings Nie Qing had in his head, when he heard Zhong Ziyan ask him in such a tone, he felt that he had not come in vain, and that Master Zhong still recognized him, so everything was easy to talk about.

"Senior Longevity, this junior is here to tell you a secret." The realm is different, so naturally you can no longer call someone 'big brother' foolishly, Nie Qing has always known etiquette.

Nie Qing is not only not stupid, he is also very smart. During several encounters many years ago, he could clearly feel Zhong Ziyan's indifference and alienation towards him, as if he deliberately kept a distance. Changing his words, he was begging for nothing to recognize his elder brother. More importantly, he instinctively felt that Zhong Ziyan was born with a sense of kindness and kindness, like a brother and a father.

"Sit down and talk, what's the secret?"

Hearing Zhong Ziyan speak in harmony, Nie Qingzhi saluted, and waited until Zhong Ziyan sat down on the noble chair first, then he sat down halfway on the guest stool and said earnestly: "

Senior listen carefully, Rong Nie Qing spoke slowly.

It has been more than ten years since I joined Niu Demon Valley. I am deeply grateful for the kindness of my predecessors.

It was not easy to live there at first, but it didn't lead to death. After a period of time, he was favored by Senior Tuoba and accepted as his subordinate to accompany him. An Sheng practiced for more than ten years in a flash.

That year, senior Tuoba failed to break through and build a foundation, and he was unable to make an inch of progress under the affliction of the golden elixir. I remembered the secret place of the golden elixir in the valley of Gumaoling. After telling the senior Tuoba, I spent several months developing it to the end He will break through the secret ground in a short time, and he will also be able to find the way to advance to the golden core.

Because of my meritorious service, I became famous in Niu Demon Valley for a while, and I was targeted by the people of the valley owner. There was some friendship many years ago, so I forced me to lure you to a place of death..."

Nie Qing spoke clearly, and there was no exaggeration in what he said. Zhong Ziyan listened quietly all the time. At the end, he knew the general idea of ​​the matter, pondered for a long time, and said, "Leaving aside the part about deceiving the poor, what you said about the jade scorpion's desire What is the real situation when you make a move on my disciples? When will you do it, and who is the target?"

Nie Qing said sternly: "He only told me about the whole thing, but didn't mention the specific follow-up plan, not to mention my friendship with senior, even in normal times, I wouldn't do such a thing, firstly, I lack strength, and secondly I don't have much intention of belonging to Niu Demon Valley, and he, Yu Xiongzi, can't order me."

Zhong Ziyan was silent, and slowly got up and walked. The friendship that Nie Qing said was nothing at all. I'm afraid he wanted to get close. It's normal for this kind of thing to put on a dignified look.

I haven't seen this son for many years, and he has indeed improved a lot in terms of xinxing. Although he came to inform the letter sincerely, Zhong Ziyan always has some prejudices against Nie Qing.

Nie Qing thought that Zhong Ziyan was frowning because he was thinking about how to deal with Yu Xiongzi's little trick, but what Zhong Ziyan really thought about was how to deal with Nie Qing.

This person personally killed Nie Mantian, the master who raised him, and finally joined the Niu Demon Valley. He stayed for more than ten years, and now he wants to vent to the outside world to expose what his family's Valley Masters are going to do. Zhong Ziyan wonders if he can use it' White-eyed wolf' to describe Nie Qing.

From my own point of view, it is indeed worth making friends with this special trip to inform, but from an objective point of view, Zhong Ziyan really does not approve of Nie Qing's behavior. How can people betray and take in their own forces or people several times.

His eyes flickered, he hesitated for a long time, Zhong Ziyan sighed in his heart, that's all, he didn't know the relationship between this person and Niu Demon Valley, and he came all the way to tell the truth, so he couldn't point someone's nose and say he was unfaithful, since Sincerely report the news, no matter how powerful he is to the master's family, he should always give him a good face.

Looking at Nie Qing, Zhong Ziyan thanked him gently: "Thank you for your hard work to report the news, thank you very much, but if there is anything you want to ask for, just tell me?"

Nie Qing was very happy at first, it was indeed an honor to have a master who speaks softly, but after hearing that Senior Zhong thought he was here to ask for something, he felt unhappy now, and his face gradually changed. Dim down, bowed his head in silence.

Zhong Ziyan said again: "Just talk about it, even anything can be discussed."

Nie Qing raised his head suddenly: "Senior think I'm here to ask for one or two things?"

Zhong Ziyan was stunned, eyes narrowed, thought for a moment, seemed to understand something, sat back in his seat, smiled: "You can also talk about your ambition."

Nie Qing glared excitedly and said: "I am here to report the news based on the kindness of my seniors, how can you want me to be with those people who are greedy for money and good things?"

Zhong Ziyan was not moved by Nie Qing's excited appearance, he was used to seeing people who had their own way of thinking on the surface, although he didn't know whether Nie Qing's state was true or not, but no matter what, he always smiled calmly:

"Haha~, you would be wrong. How could I say you are greedy for money and treasure? I just thought that you came all the way to the south to tell us your sincerity, just to express your sincerity."

Nie Qing was stunned on the spot in embarrassment, how should he respond to these words, he stumbled and scratched his head and said, "This... so, it's the younger generation who took the risk."

Zhong Ziyan would not allow him to fall into self-blame, but changed the topic, "It's okay, reward me and I will take the initiative to arrange it later. Seeing that you are quick-witted, you are not an ordinary person, and your cultivation has improved a lot in the past few years. What are your ambitions?"

Nie Qing smiled embarrassedly, "Hey, the seniors think highly of it, but the juniors are like loaches in the mud. They don't have any ambitions. If they think about making progress every day, they are content."

Zhong Ziyan's mysterious expression flashed, and he shook his head and smiled warmly: "I don't think so. Looking at your aptitude, you can achieve today's cultivation, it must be the result of hard work day and night. A part of human achievement is indeed doomed by nature, but hard work the day after tomorrow. Persistence is especially indispensable. Skills are good at diligence, idleness is at play, action is accomplished at thinking, and ruined at will.

That's why I told you the word "Ansheng" back then.The light rain rots the soul, the heavy rain kills the heart, under the downpour, Zizhu is independent. "

Nie Qing didn't dare to be too happy with such praise, "Senior is really high praise, Nie Qing has been like this in the past, and will continue to be like this in the future. I will never forget your teachings."

Zhong Ziyan looked at him with a smile, suddenly had an idea, and asked, "What do you think of the general situation in Huaishan?"

Nie Qing paused, stared at Zhong Ziyan in a daze, and asked tentatively for a long time: "Are you asking the junior?"

"Exactly."

"The younger generation is short-sighted..."

"It's okay to talk~"

Nie Qing thought for a long time, and said embarrassedly: "Then this junior is showing his shame, boldly expressing one or two clumsy opinions.

In the past 20 years, several major forces in the Huaishan area fought in a melee, and the younger generation was only seven or eight years old at that time, so I didn't quite understand it. There is really no need to talk about them today, 20 years later, because they are all destroyed after all.

Just looking at the current situation, the Situ family has taken root in the lower reaches of the Huaiyin River for nearly a hundred years, and has developed rapidly since the ancestor of Situ Ye formed the alchemy. In ten years, he has managed the Mingyue City in the Moonless Swamp to become the largest city in the two places. There is a terrifying force behind it It's hard to guess, but now that his family gathers people to quell the evil, the disaster will be completely resolved this year, and it is no exaggeration to call it the "No. [-] force in Huaishan".

And in the next 50 years, if there is no change, no one will be able to suppress his family.

Under his family, the two most powerful groups in the Huaishan area are the Monster Hunting League and the Yinzu Cemetery. The rest of the forces are their allies or vassals, so they are not worth mentioning.

The Monster Hunting League has always been only doing business. Senior Zhao Liangcai has not planned to establish a sect for so many years, and I am afraid that he will not do it in the future.

From this point of view, the Huaishan region will soon enter the Anshun period, and all small forces here will obey the Situ family, but there is an unexpected condition, that is, there will be no Jindan power in the northern Bull Demon Valley and Stranglethorn Valley.

There are many wild monks in the late stage of foundation establishment there, all of them are fierce and unusual. They have already occupied all the upper reaches of the Huaiyin River, and a large area of ​​spiritual land in the north. But the Situ family, but sweeping most of the small forces in Huaishan, is not a problem at all.

This junior thinks about it, I don't know if the Situ family has any considerations in this regard to check and balance..."

Zhong Ziyan listened to Nie Qing's sound analysis, with a smile in his eyes, "You have said so much, why didn't you mention my Chilongmen?"

Nie Qing smiled slyly: "Junior, I really dare not guess."

"Hahaha~, you are smart." Zhong Ziyan smiled, and asked again: "Since you know the general trend, where do you make your life in this torrent?"

"The younger generation was born in a humble background, and only wants to have some freedom to do what they want. As for where they belong..." It's hard to continue talking at this point, and they just smiled sarcastically.

Zhong Ziyan nodded and nodded, "You have indeed grown a lot, practice hard. If you can make it to the late stage of Qi training, if you want to leave the Bull Demon Valley, you might as well work in the Yellow Dragon Hall under the Red Dragon Gate."
