Fang Hui remained silent.
The thing about chaos mentioned by Xie Liang is a commonly used fable in Taoism. It means that chaos has no orifices. In order to repay Chaos' kindness, the two **** kings Su and Hu tried to open its seven orifices to make them visible. It can be listened to, eaten, and breathed, but it does not want to cause its death. It is recommended to be quiet and do nothing and follow the principles of nature. Used here, it refers to the principles in the process of practice; the later theory of the damage of heaven and man refers to the method of action; as for the sentence "Be careful at the beginning and respect the end", it is an assertion that it is difficult to end well with a bad beginning.
This not only alludes to the "major events" that he has repaired and improved the sect's secret method of overcoming tribulations over the years, but also involves the "details" of the life and death changes of He Qing and Yu Zhou. In short, he is questioning every detail. But no matter how clear this is, it’s just that.
Fang Hui knew that Xie Liang was not here to reason with him. What needs to be said has been explained clearly over the past seventy years. Now everyone knows that there is no way to stop him with reason, morality, and precepts, so the essence of Xie Liang’s series of questions is at the end:
"...When I saw the ancestor, I became confused."
This is a confession of conflicts and the clearest statement.
Yes, Xie Liang is making a statement, using his identity as the genius who is the most promising among the three generations of disciples of the Lichen Sect to attain the Dao!
Sixty years ago, he achieved Huandan, and in the past thirty years, he has entered the Buxu realm. Xie Liang's practice is not as breathtaking as that of Yu Qingxuan, but he has climbed to the pinnacle of this realm step by step. Especially after he entered the Buxu realm, he created and perfected the "Xuanyuan Fundamental Qi Method", a wonderful qi method that brought together the essence of morality, precepts, and theory. It was unique. If he continued to develop, it could even be like At that time, the empirical department was average, and he opened up a new path, which can be called a master's talent.
If Fang Hui's filling of the flaws in the sect's secret method of overcoming calamities is the self-rescue of the sect's elders, then the growth of outstanding third-generation disciples such as Xie Liang is the sect's hope for the future, which is equally important, or even more important. Pass it.
Furthermore, Fang Hui knew that Xie Liang had a group of friends: Xie Yan, Lu De, Taoist Qianbao, and Yu Zhou, who had already transformed into a rainbow. In that small group, Xie Yan is the oldest. Although his gloomy temperament is not like that of an elder brother, his cultivation is extremely strong. He has already advanced to the next level and is in sight of immortality. Lu De and Qian Bao are also important among the three generations of disciples. Generations ago, the sect's progress in magical instruments in recent years was mostly due to the design, construction and debugging of these two people.
It is strange to say that things are strange. Everyone knows that Xie Liangxue covers the three parts of morality, precepts and theory, but he dislikes the style of the empirical department the most. However, most of his friends are from the empirical department, and they are quite influential. . These people must be of the same mind to reconcile Liang, so they will naturally form a synergy.
Let Fang Hui also have to face the combined force!
Originally, these people were deeply dissatisfied because of He Qing's incident, but now because of Yu Zhou's death, their mood is even worse. There are already signs of disunity. If one person is not handled well, they will fall apart in the blink of an eye - -At least, Xie Liang described this possibility to him.
Fang Hui understood that at this moment, Xie Liang did not use the simplicity of the Moral Department, the laws of the Discipline Department, or the ideas of the Academic Department. He clearly used the methods of the Empirical Department.
This is negotiation, trading, and threats!
Is this considered a mastery?
Originally, this was what Fang Hui had dreamed of, but when it came to reality, he could only remain silent. It would be extremely helpless and disappointing for a rigid person like Xie Liang to abandon his consistent principles of action and jump into the mud to face each other shirtless.
He did not regret what he did because it was the quickest way he could estimate. He just felt a little emotional that although Yu Zhou's talent was good, his character and foundation were insufficient. If it were ten years later, he would only be It will take ten years, when Xie Liang emerges and shows his amazing talent, maybe...
Then he laughed, using the methods of the Evidence Department!
At this time, Fang Hui had been silent for so long that when he spoke, everyone's hearts jumped: "You can't understand me when you see me, probably because I don't act clearly. Anyway, as a teacher, , I have the responsibility to clear up confusion, so I will take the current incident as an example and try to explain it as clearly as possible..."
His eyes were clear, and then he glanced at the faces of everyone present: "Today's matter must be calculated."
"What do you care about?"
Later, Rude finally couldn't hold himself back anymore. He also saw some clues and laughed: "With Master He Qing's cultivation level, if he just stood still and let Yu Ci attack, could he still get hurt? ”
"The deceased is already dead, what's the point of worrying about it?"
Fang Hui didn't care about Rude's rudeness, and said calmly: "He Qing's death was caused by the inner demon catastrophe. I was the last one to kill him. There will naturally be an explanation for this matter. We will also explain the cause and effect of this matter. Everyone knows that when a person dies, the past will end here. We will keep a low profile and only say that He Qing is in seclusion. After this period of time has passed and there is a buffer, it will not be too late to announce Yu Ci..."
He looked at Su Jiren: "That's all for now. From now on, I, I, am the chief of the Discipline Department, in charge of the Taoist Laws and Regulations. You only talk about the critical moment of the mountain gate, gathering the sects. We have all the strength to fight against external calamities, but after the conflict with his teacher, he went out and never came back. What's the reason?"
Both Xie Liang and Ru De were stunned. This crime is so weird...
Without giving them room to think, Fang replied: "Send a message to Feijian, call him back, observe his behavior, and then deal with it."
Su Jiren was startled, and just as he answered, he remembered something: "Yu Ci is a disciple of the outer sect. As usual, he has not yet tattooed blood and made a mark in the ancestral hall to leave his breath. The flying sword may not be able to find him."
"This is a battlefield. There are still some remnants. Just make a temporary mark. If it doesn't work, then send someone to find it. There must be a result."
His remarks made everyone present look at each other in shock.
"What if I can't find it?"
"Let's deal with it according to the sect's precepts."
Xie Liang looked at Su Jiren. In fact, he was also proficient in the sect's precepts, but in this case, it would be safer to ask the chief of the precepts department.
Su Jiren pondered for a moment and said: "Disciples from the outer chamber who defy the sect's orders and go out privately will be forced to face the wall for more than ten days, and will be imprisoned for more than one month. If it is confirmed that they left the door behind their backs, the circumstances will be considered. Depending on the severity, he may be deprived of his status as a disciple, or he may recover the teachings taught by the sect, or he may be imprisoned, and the worst case may be death.”
Looking at Jie Liang's face, she explained: "The two terms of imprisonment and execution must be considered in conjunction with other reasons. If Yu Ci is not a workman sent by another sect, he has no intention of harming the sect. Intentions only come when they are consistent and go away when they are not. As a disciple of the outer sect, the most I can do is to recover the sect's secrets and prevent them from leaking out..."
Xie Liang was silent, while Fang Hui glanced at Su Jiren. It must be said that the chief of the Discipline Department was extremely smart. He had obviously seen that the essence at this time was not to follow the law, but to fight. Regarding the game of dealing with Yu Ci, she, who was originally adamant about not going overboard, quietly chose her side.
As expected, Xie Liang was reminded by her, and then said: "The method of recovering the method should be the first level of the alchemy method. Yu Ci has not yet been taught the method of returning the elixir by the sect!"
Lu De was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Then..."
Fang Hui said calmly: "Xuanyuan's fundamental qi method has entered the ancestral hall, and it is different from other innate qi methods."
Xie Liang frowned: "The disciples feel that something is wrong with the words of the ancestor. The roots are all qi methods, so what's the difference? Besides, I used the techniques taught by my heart at the beginning, without leaving any words, and I didn't worry about the leakage of the techniques. ”
Fang Hui stopped talking and just looked at him quietly.
Xie Liang was slightly startled, then he remembered that this was not about reasoning or talking about discipline, but a game and transaction conducted in accordance with the style of the Empirical Department. He took a deep breath and said no more:
"Please speak clearly, Patriarch."
Fang Hui did not respond immediately, but turned to look at He Qing's remains. After a while, he said: "You are all like dragons and phoenixes, with extraordinary talents. It is difficult to imagine how difficult it is for people with unparalleled talents to practice. This The sky destroys people, and it does not use water, fire, swords, thunder, demons, or calamities. It only uses time to make people unable to resist. The ancients said, "Time waits for no one." This is true."
Everyone in the audience was confused and didn't understand why Fang Hui changed the topic again, but soon, they saw the shadow of a blood river outside Fang Hui gradually brightening, turning around, and there was the sound of roaring waves. , this is exactly Fang Hui's fundamental secret technique 'Burning Marrow Blood River'. Letting the blood river flow, he continued slowly:
"That's why I admire the words of Senior Brother Zhu the most, and hereby give them to you: 'All things are reversible, and time cannot be moved.' Unless you understand the true meaning of this, you cannot realize the Tao..."
The words faded away, but there was a curse in the blood river, forming a ball of dazzling blood-colored light. At this time, Master Yuxu suddenly remembered something, and his expression suddenly changed. Just as he was about to say something to stop him, he heard a long roar in response, and the condensed mantra light bead was thrown down. When he took action, it expanded by itself and fell hundreds of feet. , with a diameter of more than ten feet, blood-red light waves broke through the bead body and sprayed out in all directions.
Ten miles, a hundred miles, a thousand miles, the top penetrates the sky, and the bottom penetrates the nine secluded places. In just a few breaths, the monks' eyes were full of blood, and its influence continued to spread until it covered a thousand miles.
Master Yuxu was stunned in mid-air. In his perception, the world suddenly became noisy and noisy. Thousands of birds were bathed in the blood light, suddenly became excited, and fluttered their wings one after another. The small sparrows that originally only jumped in the branches also dared to flap their wings into the sky, and the goshawks and eagles even shot straight through the sky. It even flew to the heads of the monks who were thousands of feet high in the sky.
Not only that, as long as those trees, flowers and plants are stained by the blood light, no matter whether it is shady or dark, no matter whether it is withered or green, their branches and leaves will grow side by side, and they will be extremely lush; fish, insects and animals will be restless, and some are extremely powerful in the first place. The ferocious beast even directly opened its spiritual orifice and became a half-demon.
Fang Hui seemed to have done the most ordinary thing, taking away the Shadow of the Blood River, and said calmly:
"Let it be like this. If Yu Ci returns to the sect within a month, he will face the wall and be imprisoned according to the law. If he insists on not returning, it will prove that he has betrayed the sect. Everything from then on will be with the sect. It doesn’t matter, it all depends on his destiny... Is this okay?”
Xie Liang said nothing. He just let go of his spiritual consciousness and looked into the wildly growing meadow on the ground.
One moment, the grass blades were still green and lush, growing as tall as half a man, but then, the green color turned to yellow, withered piece by piece, and in the blink of an eye it was dead.
