Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 60: Causation
With Wei Danbai stepping down, Zheng Shufeng became the new head of the Wei family.
After taking office, Zheng Shufeng faced two big troubles. One was the protection of those out-of-town shops, and the other was that the Wei family was now seriously short of money.
In order to solve the problem, the first thing Zheng Shufeng did was to announce the concession. With the help of the concession, Zheng Shufeng told everyone that Tang Jie was back again, in order to unite people's hearts.
Then Zheng Shufeng began to visit various places in person, and the first one he went to was the Yuhua Sect. After some talks, Zheng Shufeng left the mountain, and Han Tianji, the head of the Yuhua Sect, saw him off in person.
As soon as these two incidents came out, the Wei family's troubles began to decrease. Zheng Shufeng ordered to consolidate stores in various places and sell some unprofitable stores to raise funds.
Zheng Shufeng then approached the Shanggu family and offered to settle the previous grudges with one hundred thousand taels of silver. She did not ask the Gu family to leave or sell the shop to her. She had no interest in blood-sucking operations like casinos from the beginning. The Gu family was overjoyed about this. Although it was a pity to lose one hundred thousand taels of silver, at least they could still stay alive in Canglong Mansion, so that they would not have to settle the accounts with their descendants.
In the end, Zheng Shufeng personally contacted each family, using the special sale of purple berries as bait to attract everyone to participate in shares, and once again gathered a large amount of funds. The situation of the Wei family finally stabilized, and Zheng Shufeng's performance in saving the Wei family from the fire and water crisis was also After receiving praise from everyone, the position of the head of the family gradually became secure.
It took three months to complete all of this.
When the news came, Tang Jie was sitting alone in a small pavilion in Wanhe Garden. This place is located at the top of Xinxion Peak. Looking down from the mountain, you can see most of Wanquan City in sight.
Sitting in the pavilion, Tang Jie was thinking seriously.
Zheng Shufeng's actions did not surprise him. This woman was already very capable, but as a woman, she lacked the opportunity to display her ambitions. Now that the Wei family has her leadership, it will surely become more prosperous and prosperous in the future. This is in line with the saying that misfortune depends on blessings, and blessings rely on misfortunes.
What really made him think was what role he played in this matter.
Although Tang Jie had said from the beginning that he would leave everything to God's will, in fact, the three things he did quietly changed everything.
He announced his retreat, which caused trouble for the Wei family; he informed Mu Yi of the matter and gave Zheng Shufeng's mother a medicine, which prevented Zheng Shufeng from returning home to help her husband. If she had been around, Wei Danbai would never have made such a serious mistake.
Although nothing he did in itself caused any harm to the Wei family, the indirect results caused serious harm to the Wei family.
The most important thing is - he saw the result before that.
From this aspect, Tang Jie cheated.
He said he left it to God, but in fact he quietly reversed God's will and changed his destiny in his own way.
So is this kind of providence still called providence?
Tang Jie thought for a long time.
He couldn't find the answer.
While I was thinking, a crane suddenly flew from the distance.
The crane broke through the clouds and let out a long, clear cry. After seeing Tang Jie, he lowered his head and swooped down, landed in front of Tang Jie, shook his wings and said with a smile, "So you are here. But it makes it difficult for me to find."
Tang Jie quickly stood up when he saw this: "I have met Senior Bai Dan. Is there anything wrong with Senior Bai Dan?"
The crane said in a long voice: "If someone wants to see you, just let me go."
"Someone wants to see me? Who is it?"
"Don't gossip, you will know when you come." The crane said and jumped into the clouds.
Tang Jie had no choice but to fly along. One person and one crane headed towards the West View Pavilion, and arrived in front of the pavilion in just a moment. Tang Jie saw Xie Fengtang guarding the pavilion, pacing back and forth.
Tang Jie had always seen Xie Fengtang in the Xiwang Pavilion before, but this time he saw him standing at the door for the first time. It seemed that he was waiting for Tang Jie, and his expression looked quite anxious.
Seeing this scene, Tang Jie was also slightly stunned, and he understood something in his heart.
Sure enough, when Tang Jie landed, Xie Fengtang came up to him and said, "Why did you come here?"
Tang Jie looked at Xiwang Pavilion and whispered: "Xie Yuan, is there someone important here?"
Xie Fengtang smiled and said: "You are a smart boy, it's good to know. It's Fengyuan who is back and wants to see you by name."
Feng Hongluan?
When he heard the name, Tang Jie was also shocked.
Has Feng Hongluan, one of the Nineteen Heavenly Leaders of the Xiyue Sect and as famous as Ming Yekong, finally returned?
At this moment, when he heard that Feng Hongluan wanted to see him, Tang Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Fengyuan wants to see me?"
Xie Fengtang patted Tang Jie's hand and said: "Dean Feng lives in Hongyun Peak. It's a rare visit, so seize the opportunity!"
Speak with sincerity and sincerity.
Tang Jie already understood what he meant, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, saying: "Please rest assured, Xie Yuan, Tang Jie can save it."
I straightened my clothes immediately and walked into the West View Pavilion.
Arrived in front of the door, Tang Jie said to the door: "Student Tang Jie, I have been ordered to come to see Fengyuan."
As for Feng Hongluan, he didn't even dare to call himself a disciple.
A nice voice came: "Come in."
Pushing the door open, Tang Jie saw a person standing opposite him, standing with his hands behind his back, facing him, looking at the scenery outside the window.
The vaguely exposed profile had a sense of familiarity, but Tang Jie couldn't remember who it was, so he could only bow to the end: "Tang Jie has seen Fengyuan before!"
The man slowly turned his head.
Seeing the other person's face, Tang Jie was stunned at first, and then blurted out: "It turns out to be you!"
That is a very beautiful face, so beautiful that even women are attracted by it, but it belongs to a man.
And this man Tang Jie knew. He was the evil man Tang Jie had met at Xinghua Tower.
It turns out he is Feng Hongluan!
No wonder his comings and goings are secretive and no one can check him. He even refuses to be polite when he sees the True Lord Wuwu.
At this moment, he exclaimed, and Tang Jie also knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "The student didn't know that he was the master of Fengyuan that day..."
The evil man Feng Hongluan said: "Those who don't know are not guilty. What I'm more interested in is, if you knew it was me, would you still dare to **** the word Wuwang from the True Lord Wuwu?"
Tang Jie did not expect that the other party would ask him this question. After thinking for a while, he looked up at Feng Hongluan and replied with a very determined expression: "Student, you dare! The path of seeking the Tao is endless. We should strive to seize every moment. Opportunity."
Feng Hongluan nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Well said, the road is difficult, the road to immortality is not easy, every step of progress should be diligent and brave. By the way, do you still have the word Wuwang that day?"
Tang Jie shook his head: "It has been used by students."
Feng Hongluan said lightly: "Your way of insight is understood through it, right?"
Hearing this, Tang Jie's expression changed drastically.
Although the way of insight is not a great power, it has always been treasured by Tang Jie and kept secret. It can be said that it has never been exposed to the outside world. Unexpectedly, Feng Hongluan revealed his truth with one word.
How did he know?
That’s right, when I was at Xinghua Tower that day, when I faced True Lord Wuwu, You dared to grab the word Wuwang, and what I showed was already beyond that of ordinary students. Whether it was courage, technique, or formation attainments, they were far beyond ordinary. people.
You must know that at that time, it was not as good as the Xianyuan Hui later. The performance of the Xianyuan Hui was based on several years of cultivation in the academy, and many things were easy to explain. At that time, he had only been in school for one year, and he showed profound attainments in formations. It's not that easy to explain.
But at that time, he didn't know that the other party was Feng Hongluan, and he didn't even think about covering it up.
When he thought of this, his heart dropped.
Suddenly he understood the true meaning of what Feng Hongluan asked just now, "If you had known it was me, would you have dared to **** Zhenjun's Wuwangzi?"
What he asked was not whether he had the courage to face Feng Tiankui. After all, he dared to rob him in front of the true king. Why wouldn't he dare to face the peak of Tianxin?
What he asked was: Facing the people of the Xiyue Sect, do you still have the courage to expose your background for an innocent word?
If Tang Jie was asked to answer at this moment, he would definitely say "no"!
Thinking of this, Tang Jie took a deep breath and finally said: "Feng Yuan clearly understands that Tang Jie is wrong!"
Feng Hongluan looked at Tang Jie and finally showed a smile: "Young man, it's okay to make some mistakes. The fear is self-righteousness. Sometimes you think you are teasing everyone in the world, but in fact you may just be your parents. We love and care for our children and cannot bear to be harshly punished, so we only indulge a little bit."
When Tang Jie heard this, his heart was filled with fear.
At this time, he had completely understood what Feng Hongluan meant. Because of the incident at Xinghua Tower, Feng Hongluan might have already guessed his true identity.
Tang Jie didn’t understand why he didn’t tell anyone. The reason he gave was that he cared about the students. As the dean of Xiyue Academy, it was not an exaggeration to say that the parents of Xiyue students were here. Of course, Tang Jiejue He didn't think it would be that simple, but at this moment he knew that since Feng Hongluan had laid out his cards, it was no longer appropriate for him to pretend to be stupid, so he could only kneel down and shouted: "Student Tang Jie has committed a serious crime of deception, and his crime is unforgivable! ”
"Get up, don't be so nervous." Feng Hongluan only said lightly: "You are not the Shimen sect, and the secret realm is not within the Wenxin territory. As far as I, the Xiyue sect, that thing is ours, and we can get it Of course it’s the best, and there’s no loss if you can’t get it. As far as I’m concerned, people who have cultivated to our level can’t just rely on resources, so it’s even less meaningful. What’s more, in this matter On, I have some other opinions..."
"Any other opinions?" Tang Jie was puzzled.
Feng Hongluan replied leisurely: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether those resources are obtained by the Xiyue Sect or a disciple of the Xiyue Sect. What matters is whether this disciple is sincerely for our sect. As long as this disciple He is a member of our Xiyue Sect. As long as he belongs to my Xiyue Sect wholeheartedly, then it makes no difference whether those resources fall on him alone or are scattered among everyone in the Xiyue Sect. Anyway, in the end, it is me, Xiyue Sect. The people sent have been used up. And from the perspective of strength, a powerful true king is far more valuable than hundreds or thousands of extraordinary peaks..."
This was the first time that Tang Jie heard someone from the upper echelon of Xiyue state his views on the secret realm. With Feng Hongluan's explanation, Tang Jie finally understood.
It turns out that in Feng Hongluan's eyes, his focus has never been on who owns the secret realm, but whether the person who controls the secret realm is loyal to the sect.
In his opinion, as long as Tang Jie, who has mastered the secret realm, is loyal to the Xiyue Sect, it is equivalent to the secret realm belonging to the Xiyue Sect.
From the perspective of maximizing the benefits of resource allocation, concentrating all resources to create a truly strong person can actually enhance the strength of the Moon Washing Sect more than everyone taking advantage of it.
In addition, Feng Hongluan did not think that Tang Jie could be forced out by force alone.
After all, Gu Changqing's incident had happened before that. Gu Changqing's cruel treatment of Tang Jie had already shown that Tang Jie was not a person who could make him surrender through punishment. Since the Eagle Master of the Tianshen Palace couldn't make Tang Jie tell the truth, then why should the Xiyue Sect be able to do it?
Facing a guy who is not afraid of death, sometimes it is helpless for you to cultivate to reach the sky.
Forcing, you may not be able to force it out; if you let it go, you may release a true king of your sect.
How to choose is natural and clear.
For this reason, he has been observing Tang Jie over the years. On the one hand, it is to continue to confirm whether Tang Jie is the winner of the secret realm. Based on what he saw in Xinghua Tower, Feng Hongluan has more reasons to doubt than others, but he cannot be completely sure. On the other hand, it is to see whether Tang Jie can be regarded as a loyal person.
Of course, this kind of observation is not to follow around the clock. It is mainly to collect and analyze information about Tang Jie.
To put it bluntly, it was the meeting at Xinghua Tower that made Feng Hongluan pay more attention to Tang Jie than others. Because of this, he was able to finally confirm that Tang Jie was the master of the secret realm.
For various reasons, Feng Hongluan has been observing Tang Jie, and it was not until today that she finally met him for a showdown.
"The reason why I have a showdown with you today is mainly because of two things. One is that your loyalty to the Xiyue Sect remains to be seen, but your attitude towards the Wei family is quite appreciated by me."
Feng Hongluan's words revealed the mystery and made Tang Jie suddenly realize.
There is always a causal relationship. No matter what the world thinks of Tang Jie's treatment of the Wei family, at least in the eyes of Feng Hongluan, who is also an immortal cultivator, it is already impeccable.
Understanding this, Tang Jie loudly said to Feng Hongluan: "Tang Jie has been cultivated by the Xiyue Sect, and he will be loyal to the Xiyue Sect throughout his life and will never change!"
Feng Hongluan was unmoved and simply said: "Really? Then tell me, what is the Xiyue Sect?"
What is the Xiyue Sect?
This question made Tang Jie stunned.
He didn't know how to answer.
Feng Hongluan already said: "The Xiyue Sect, this is just a name. It is a collection of countless cultivators and represents the will of countless people. Today, Lord Lingxiao rules the Xiyue Sect, and his The will is the will of the Xiyue Sect. If Uncle Xiao is appointed as the leader tomorrow, then his will will also be the will of the Xiyue Sect. But if these two people have conflicting opinions, then... what should you do? Where are the loyal Moonwashers?"
This question made Tang Jie stunned.
However, he finally understood what Feng Hongluan meant and knelt down on his knees: "Tang Jie will obey Feng Yuan's will in this life, and he will not dare to violate it!"
"Me?" Feng Hongluan smiled: "It's just a small academic sect. If you follow me, you will only put yourself in a disadvantageous situation, which is unnecessary. I will not force you to listen to anyone. Yes, from what you did before, I have already seen that people like you should not be forcibly assigned. If you want to treat me sincerely, you must first treat you sincerely. This is the case with the two elders of the Wu family. "
Tang Jie lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Feng Hongluan continued: "For this reason, I will not forcibly restrain you. I only need to place you in the sect. Thanks to the grace and cultivation of this sect, in time, you will naturally make the sect your home and take good care of you." . I just said those words to you, I just hope you understand that there are many cultivators in the sect and their wills are mixed. No matter who you take orders from or follow in the future, at least consider the future of the sect before acting."
Tang Jie was in awe: "Yes, the student understands!"
"In that case, you should know what mistake you made and why I want to see you, right?" Feng Hongluan said.
Tang Jie thought for a while and understood: "Fengyuan just said that today's showdown with me is because of two things. Is this second thing referring to the Qijue Sect?"
Feng Hongluan's extremely beautiful face finally showed a smile: "It's good that you know. If not, I can't finally confirm that you are Tang Jie. Speaking of which, your true exposure is still your own intentional act. I'm just a little more suspicious than ordinary people. It's just that you have good things but only sell them to the Qijue Sect. It's really abominable. Do you think the humble sect can't afford a good price?"
Tang Jie smiled bitterly: "It's the student's fault, I just..."
"I just feel that even if you can afford it, you may not be willing to do so, right?" Feng Hongluan said lightly: "I can understand your thoughts, but as I said, you still lack some loyalty to our sect. If you I really want to do well for the Xiyue Sect, but with your plan, can't I find a suitable way? After all, you are used to thinking about yourself, not for the Xiyue Sect."
Tang Jie was stunned when he heard this.
Yeah.
He was indeed worried that the Moon Washing Faction would take the opportunity to lower his price or even arrest him in turn, so he was unwilling to sell anything to the Moon Washing Faction.
But Feng Hongluan is right. He has even dealt with the Tianshen Palace and even the Qijue Sect can cooperate. Can he still solve this small matter?
It’s just that I didn’t pay enough attention!
This is also Feng Hongluan's dissatisfaction with him.
If it weren't for the fact that his behavior towards the Wei family was quite moral, I'm afraid that Feng Hongluan's next choice would be to capture him and force him to benefit.
Thinking of this, Tang Jie also sweated on his forehead: "Students are used to being selfish!"
Feng Hongluan said calmly: "If you know you are wrong, then change it."
"Yes! In that case, why not just ask Feng Yuan to purchase it for you? The student is willing to sell it to Feng Yuan for 60% of the price of Qi Jue Sect."
"Doesn't that satisfy your previous worries?" Feng Hongluan said lightly: "That's all, let's take 90% of the price. In any case, I will always cultivate your sect and protect you from wind and rain. You always want a 10% discount. Also, did you conspire with the Qijue Sect to deal with the Tianshen Palace?"
"Yes!"
"Tian Shen Palace is the best friend of the Beast Refining Sect. It would be a good thing for me, Xiyue Sect, to remove its wings. When the claws of Tian Shen Palace come in again, if you can't deal with them, please inform me. I will arrange a move according to the situation. It also saves you from having to use those conspiracy calculations all day long. Of course, I also want to ask you to collect some fees."
Tang Jie was overjoyed: "Thank you Fengyuan!"
"In that case, let's go." Feng Hongluan waved her hand, and Tang Jie said goodbye and left.
Leaving Xiwang Pavilion and talking to Xie Fengtang some more, Tang Jie went back.
On the way back, Tang Jie was in a state of excitement.
Feng Hongluan's words opened a window into Tang Jie's mind.
Before that, he had never thought that such a kind of thinking existed among the senior leaders of the Moon Washing Sect.
Yes.
Why do you have to hold the secret realm in your hands? As long as the person who masters the secret realm is admitted into the sect, it is still the use of the secret realm.
In the end, my horizons were too small, and because of the Tianshen Palace, I felt that everyone was trying to plot against me and rob me.
Now that the sun was clearing from the clouds, Tang Jie was in a great mood and wished he could roar loudly.
God’s will!
This may be the true will of God!
When he chose to let God deal with Wei Danbai, Feng Hongluan also chose to trust him!
At this time, Tang Jie suddenly understood the problem that he had not thought about before.
In this life, who doesn’t want to grasp the dice of fate?
In theory, God can decide and punish me fairly, but emotionally, I can’t wait to follow my heart and God will punish me.
Even if you can't control your destiny, don't imitate the butterfly.
Flap your wings and watch the waves rise and the clouds disappear!
So, although I have influenced God’s will~IndoMTL.com~, who can say that the God’s will that I have affected is not God’s will?
Thinking of this, Tang Jie suddenly stopped.
At that moment, he stood on the Rookie Peak, with his hands behind his back, facing the sky.
I suddenly realized something in my heart.
Some students passed by and saw him standing on the road, motionless. They were surprised and wanted to ask, but a spiritual wave came and pushed the students away.
Then a clear and pleasant voice came: "Tang Jie has realized something. He is asking himself to understand the truth. Don't disturb him."
As these words came out, an invisible wall of energy formed where Tang Jie was standing, blocking all the students outside the wall.
This stop in Tang Jie lasted three days and three nights.
Three days later, Tang Jie suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
He shouted loudly: "I understand, this is cause and effect!"
The way of cause and effect!
