Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 47: God’s will

Yongsui Mountain, Tiannian Peak.

This is the most central peak in the Yongsui Mountains. From here, you can see a sea of ​​clouds, dense forests, and a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery.

For the past month, every morning, Tang Jie stood guard on the top of the mountain, looking out into the distance. It's a pity that even if he gained insight, he could not see the entire mountainous area. Even Yiyi activated all the plants and gained nothing.

Time has passed by in recent months, and Tang Jie's hope has become smaller and smaller.

On this day, Tang Jie was still sitting on the top of the mountain, looking far away, but saw no movement.

He sighed softly.

Yiyi pulled Tang Jie's clothes and said, "Brother, we can't find Bao'er, right?"

"Maybe." Tang Jie replied: "But maybe one day, it will suddenly appear in front of us."

"Do you think it's still alive?"

"I believe he is still alive."

Yiyi lowered her head and stopped talking.

After a while, the little girl suddenly gritted her teeth and said: "It's all the fault of the head of the Wei family. If it hadn't been for him, Bao'er wouldn't have disappeared. How about we go and destroy the Wei family!"

Tang Jie pinched Yiyi's face: "Little girl, don't be so murderous. The Wei family is kind to me, and I can't attack the Wei family just because of it."

"Is this the case?"

Tang Jie said calmly: "God will decide whether it counts or not."

"God? What kind of judgment can God have?" Yiyi was puzzled.

Tang Jie just said indifferently: "Yiyi, please go back to Canglong Mansion and release the news, saying that Tang Jie, my beloved pet, has disappeared and his life and death are unknown. As a result, I am so disheartened that I no longer care about trivial matters in the world. Of course. , I, Tang Jie, am still a member of the Wei family, and if it involves the life and death of the Wei family, I will still come forward."

"Huh?" Yiyi looked at Tang Jie in surprise.

She didn’t understand why Tang Jie still did this in this situation, but Tang Jie said: "Remember what I said, and when you get to Canglong Mansion, tell everyone word for word, so that most of Lingzhou can The cultivators and the family all know about this, do you understand?"

Yiyi nodded blankly.

Tang Jie continued: "If you have done this, go to Shicheng. I heard that my wife's mother is old and her life is not long. Even if she takes the longevity pill, it will be useless. Go there and have a look. , how long can the old man support it? If he can still support it for a while, go to Shaohua Mountain, find the leader of the Yuanyang Sect, and say that I, Tang Jie, want a life-extending pill on behalf of the old lady. As for the price, he wants it. Just give it to him as much as you want. If it's not enough, you'll owe it first."

Yi Yi was puzzled: "Although the life-sustaining pill can extend your life, it can't solve the problem in the end, but it delays the time and the price is not cheap. The Wei family has treated you like this, and you still help them like this?"

"Just do as you are told." Tang Jie still looked calm and calm: "The third thing is, Mu Yi and I have a one-month appointment. After you have done this, go back to Xiyue College and see Mu Yi. Yi, tell him what happened here, no need to hide it, and then come back."

"Just talk about what happened here, nothing else?"

"Yes, there is nothing else to say."

"Then what?" Yiyi looked at Tang Jie blankly.

"Then..." Tang Jie whispered: "Then it depends on God's will."

On this day, Yiyi left Tiannian Peak, leaving Tang Jie to continue searching in the mountain.

The search lasted for more than a month. In the end, Tang Jie found nothing and had to leave.

When he left, Xiaohu was still sleeping in the underground cave; Xi Canhen had left the Wei Mansion for more than a month; Xiyue Sect, with the mediation of a group of disciples, finally completed the final statistics and confirmed that Tang Jie and others Contribution, Tang Jie's name spread throughout the world again, and the reward of 20 million spiritual coins also spread throughout Wenxin's north and south.

Correspondingly, a piece of not-so-good gossip came out.

Some people say that Tang Jie and Wei Mansion had a falling out.

The reason is that Tang Jie openly declared that he ignored civil affairs - the biggest victim of this disregard for civil affairs was undoubtedly the Wei Mansion.

Some well-informed people are even more conclusive, saying that the reason why Tang Jie was like this was because the Wei Mansion failed to rescue him. Tang Jie was dissatisfied, but he didn't want to turn against him and become an enemy, so he had no choice but to act passively.

The matter was so serious that it made some people in the Wei Mansion panic.

Wei Danbai was furious and said: "Ridiculous! Regardless of whether it is true or false, even if it is true, without him Tang Jie, the Wei Mansion would still have my son Tianchong, and he is the true successor of Guanri Peak! Besides, Tang Jie had been in school for eight years. How had he ever asked about anything in the Wei family? On the contrary, there were so many requests, so how could the Wei family have ever treated him badly? The so-called "no longer paying attention" was completely inexplicable. He had no reason at all. Come on! I did all the business in the Wei Mansion myself!"

This is true. Tang Jie did not do anything for the business of the Wei family. For example, Wei Tianzhi and Wu Xing were also involved in the family's business, but Tang Jie did not even finish the ten-year semester. Even if it was full, In the future, he will also join the Xiyue Sect, let alone work for the family.

The problem is that some people's value is not inherently reflected by doing things.

Tang Jie himself does not know what the value of Tang Jie is. His views are bound to have their limitations, and may be exaggerated or reduced.

For this reason, he chose to leave it to God to make the decision and let the facts weigh everything.

——————————

Yuhua School.

Han Tianji was meditating with his eyes closed in the middle of the hall, with a young disciple standing in front of him.

"Has the matter been confirmed?" he asked without raising his head.

The Yuhua disciple replied: "It has been confirmed that the person who spread the news is a little girl. Judging from her appearance and words, she should be the Yiyi next to Mr. Tang. In addition, we have also bribed several subordinates in the Wei Mansion. People, confirmed that the disappearance of Tang Jie's beloved pet is indeed true, and the Wei Mansion did not act effectively on this matter."

Sitting on Han Tianji's left hand was a beautiful woman in palace attire, who also spoke at this moment. "But the most important thing is that until a few days ago, Tang Jie still stayed in the Yongsui Mountain area. He is only two hills away from my Yuhua sect. This is an ironclad fact. If it hadn't been for this matter, he would not have done it. That’s it.”

Her name is Yuan Qiaojun, she is the wife of Han Tianji and one of the Three Hearts of the Yuhua Sect.

"Hmm." Han Tianji murmured softly, touching his chin but not knowing what he was thinking.

A middle-aged man on his right said: "I don't know why the head brother is so concerned about this matter. It's just that Tang Jie was unhappy with his family. Listening to his words and deeds, although he has a negative meaning, After all, he still cares about the Wei family, so he has said that if the life and death of the Wei family is involved, he will still come forward."

Hearing this, Han Tianji laughed: "If only it were so simple."

The middle-aged man hurriedly asked: "Does senior brother think there is a hidden agenda in this matter?"

Han Tianji already said leisurely: "If you are really passively retreating, then why are you still spreading the word? If Junior Brother Zuo is not concerned about the sect's affairs, should you just find a place to retreat? Or should you shout everywhere, wishing that the whole world, including Qiu Shuyu, Shi Jingzhai and the others, would Do you know that our Yuhua Sect will lose another Tianxin?"

Junior Brother Zuo was speechless, and Han Tianji added: "By the way, I didn't forget to shout when I informed you: As long as it doesn't involve the life and death of the Yuhua Sect, everything has nothing to do with me."

The beautiful middle-aged woman covered her mouth and chuckled: "Speaking of which, the Shimen Sect still exists today."

Existence in name only, that is also existence!

Junior Brother Zuo suddenly realized: "It turns out that Tang Jie is causing trouble for the Wei family!"

"It may not lead to trouble." Han Tianji shook his head again: "After all, the Wei family is just a family of mortals, not a sect of cultivators. Cultivators put strength first, so they often encounter life and death. Mortals put money first, Therefore, there are endless disputes about buying and selling."

"If that's the case, then it's nothing." Junior Brother Zuo said disdainfully. As a cultivator, he naturally disdained ordinary gold and silver.

"Normally, it's nothing." Han Tianji said with a smile.

"Huh? What do you mean, senior brother?" Junior Brother Zuo looked at Han Tianji in confusion.

Han Tianji did not answer, but just looked at his wife: "Qiaojun once had a pet dog. You know best about your love for pets. You might as well tell your junior brother about it."

Yuan Qiaojun rolled her eyes at her husband and replied lazily: "What can I say? At that time, my father was devoted to cultivation and had no time to accompany me. I was alone in the mountains, bored and lonely. It was you who gave me a puppy that day. Only, let me feed him. From then on, I regarded this dog as my life, named it Zhen'er, and never left my body. I hate anyone who likes to eat dog meat."

Junior Brother Zuo joined the family late. He didn’t know that Yuan Qiaojun still had such a thing, so he was surprised and said: "Senior Sister actually loves the dog Ruosi and even bothers others about eating dog meat? No wonder you have never eaten dog meat in your life."

Yuan Qiaojun rolled his eyes at him: "If you don't raise a dog, you don't understand the heart of a dog owner."

Junior Brother Zuo was filled with grief and anger: "You don't eat dog meat, so you don't know how delicious it is!"

Yuan Qiaojun immediately stared, but Han Tianji stopped him: "Don't go too far."

Yuan Qiaojun finally breathed his last and said: "However, Zhen'er is just an ordinary dog ​​with a limited lifespan. Even if I use all the elixirs for it, it will only live for thirty years and eventually die."

An ordinary dog ​​generally only lives about ten years. Junior Brother Zuo heard that letting a dog live to thirty years old is like extending a person's life to three hundred years old. I don't know how many elixirs she wasted to achieve this. At this point, I feel sad in my heart but dare not say anything.

Yuan Qiaojun continued: "After Zhen'er died, I was sad for many days. From then on, I no longer wanted to keep a dog. I became discouraged. Instead, I realized the idea of ​​​​the inanimate life of our sect, and my strength improved by leaps and bounds."

Junior Brother Zuo heard that she actually learned the Dharma because of a dog, and he felt that life was gloomy, the world was difficult, and people were inferior to dogs.

It was Han Tianji who brought the topic back to the right track: "I just want you to know that Tang Jie was probably very angry because Wei Danbai lost his beloved tiger. When you understand this feeling , I’m afraid we can understand a lot of things he did.”

If Junior Brother Zuo has some enlightenment: "Senior Brother, what you mean is..."

Han Tianji replied: "Tang Jie was born in the Wei family and received favors from the Wei family. Although he had repaid the favor, he was still a member of the Wei family after all. No matter how generous his reward was, no matter how good Wei Danbai's performance was, No matter how ruthless he is, it can't be the reason for him to turn around and kill the Wei family! So the only thing he can do is to be passive, that is, he will no longer serve the Wei family to the death. This is understandable, the master is chilling, and the subordinates indulge Otherwise, you will be disheartened. But this is only from a theoretical point of view. If it is from an emotional point of view... Qiaojun, if Zhen'er was killed by someone back then, how would you treat that person?"

Yuan Qiaojun stared with big eyes: "Who dares? I will fight with him!"

Han Tianji said leisurely: "I think at that time, Tang Jie must have wanted to fight Wei Danbai."

Junior Brother Zuo completely understood: "It's a pity that he can't do this after all. There are many things in this world, and the principle and emotion can only choose the same."

Han Tianji said: "Tang Jie chose truth, but regretted emotion. If someone does what he wants to do but can't do at this time, he will definitely be very grateful."

"Senior Brother Zuo Mingjian!" Junior Brother Zuo's eyes suddenly brightened, and then he thought for a while and said: "But after all, Tang Jie is just a student who has not yet started. Is it worth going to such great lengths to help him?"

"A student who has not yet started?" Han Tianji chuckled: "It was this student who had not yet started, who turned his backhand into a cloud, killed Gu Changqing, and wiped out Yingtang; it was this student who turned his hand into rain, and forcibly A good-for-nothing is promoted as the true successor; this is the same student who shone brightly in the Immortal Fate Conference, and now he has destroyed the Shimen Sect and acquired tens of millions of assets. Junior brother, don’t say you couldn’t do what he did back then, even now, you You can't achieve what he did, right?"

Junior Brother Zuo nodded awkwardly.

Han Tianji then said: "Besides, it's just to make things difficult for a small mortal family. Do you need to go to any lengths? If you don't do such a profitable business, what will you do?"

Junior Brother Zuo was sincerely convinced: "Brother is wise!"

Although Han Tianji did not think exactly the same as Tang Jie, there was one thing he guessed right, that is, Tang Jie did see this possibility.

In other words, he himself is turning possibilities into reality intentionally or unintentionally.

——————————————

No matter in which era, expansion cannot be solved with money.

In the ancient earth era, the degree of expansion of businesses was closely related to the protection/umbrella that bureaucrats could provide. In the Qixia world, it was directly related to the scope of influence of cultivators.

Having a spiritual disciple means that a town dominates. Having a spiritual master means that the influence can reach the city. Tianxin is the state, Zifu is the country, and Xiantai is the boundary.

This kind of thing is not a certain rule, but it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people invisibly. Everyone abides by it silently. It may be okay if you go beyond it occasionally. If you take too big a step, you have to be careful.

The Wei family has spiritual masters, and its buyers and sellers can be found all over Canglong Mansion. It is considered a good big family in Canglong Mansion, but it does not dare to easily step outside the boundaries of Canglong Mansion.

It wasn't until Wei Tianchong became the true successor that the Wei family's pace of expansion suddenly increased and began to spread to the entire Lingzhou area, even to a small extent in the territory of Li State, but the main business direction was still in Lingzhou. Inside.

This is mainly because, although Wei Tianchong is not Tianxin yet, as Yan Changfeng's disciple, his influence is comparable to that of ordinary Tianxin. In addition, Tang Jie has become famous several times, and he has long been a famous rising star of Xiyue Sect. , even after getting the recommendation order, the ten years have expired, so it is basically regarded as a quasi-state-level family by default.

From this aspect, how large a family can expand depends directly on how many cultivators it has support. If you do not have enough strength and develop yourself into a behemoth, you will easily become fat in the eyes of others. This is why practitioners are important - they are like the army to the country. Wherever the iron hoof steps, there is a source of wealth. Endless land!

But now, an army is about to disarm.

The most powerful ace army is about to return!

This undoubtedly touches the hearts of many people.

Different from Han Tianji who saw through the mystery and took advantage of the opportunity to sell well, most people's thinking is actually much simpler. When the news about Tang Jie came, they understood one thing:

One of the two pillars supporting the Wei family has fallen!

Doing business is like building a high-rise building. The higher the floor, the deeper the foundation is needed, the thicker the pillars used to support it, and the heavier the force it bears.

At this time of expansion, if a pillar is suddenly missing, the expansion that was originally caused by this is destined to rebound.

Interestingly, the first one to rebound was the Gu family. At that time, Tang Jie had not even left Yongsui Mountain.

Weifu study room.

Wei Danbai sat in front of the case with a gloomy face and said to a middle-aged man in green robe standing in front of him: "Say it again!"

The middle-aged man was Wei Die's father, Wei Qingsong. He said calmly: "Gu Chongxuan said that the head of the Gu family suddenly suffered from a serious illness. Please postpone the delivery."

"Pa!" Gu Danbai slapped his palm on the desk: "Why did the scheduled delivery date suddenly change? Our Gu family has been preparing for this for a long time and mobilized countless human and financial resources just for this day. He just said that the patriarch is seriously ill, so why should he give up on these three **** agencies, five casinos, and fourteen shops?"

Wei Qingsong smiled bitterly: "Gu Liangde's old immortal body has always been in good condition. How could he suddenly become seriously ill? It's just an excuse. It's probably because of Tang..."

Before he continued, Wei Danbai already understood what he meant: "Are you trying to say that the Gu family felt that without Tang Jie, we would be unable to do anything to them and began to regret the deal we had made before?"

"That's probably the case." Wei Qingsong said.

Wei Danbai said angrily: "This is burning the bridge across the river!"

At first, the Gu family smuggled goods for the Shimen sect. After the incident, the Gu family could not avoid being accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Finally, they were decisive and promptly pushed out the person who was in charge as a scapegoat, and then appealed for mercy through the Wei family. Because of this, the Wei family had lent the business, and they did not want to involve the Gu family too deeply, lest they would be dragged into the water at some point, so after receiving a large amount of benefits, they resolved the matter through Tang Jie and Wei Tianchong.

The Gu family had given a lot of benefits at the beginning, except for large sums of gold, silver and jewelry, which were the agreed shops. Over the past few days, the Wei family had already made preparations to take inventory of the shops and prepare them for taking over. Unexpectedly, when things came to a head, the Gu family actually regretted not selling.

Wei Qingsong said: "This is not the first time that people from the Gu family have crossed rivers and burned bridges. People like them can kneel down and call you grandpa when they are in power, and can lift themselves to the sky when they are in power. Their shameless Their level is unparalleled, and they can do things that others can't do with dignity. For many years, wasn't this how they became the top five families? Now it's just history repeating itself."

Wei Danbai's face turned livid: "Are they so sure that without Tang Jie, there is nothing we can do to them?"

Wei Qingsong replied: "That may not happen. The Gu family didn't say they wouldn't sell, they just said they would hold off for a while. From this, they are not sure whether we can do anything to them."

"How dare you be so arrogant when you are not sure?"

Wei Qingsong replied: "It's not necessarily arrogance, it's just that it concerns the foundation of the Gu family, so they have no choice but to take risks. After all, the courage to protect one's own property is always greater than to rob other people's property, not to mention that they still have room for action. It’s still mainly about testing. What’s really worrying is that~IndoMTL.com~ the matter of taking over the Gu family’s property has been spread. If this matter cannot be handled properly, I’m afraid...”

"What are you afraid of?"

"There are many imitators!"

Hearing this, Wei Danbai also took a breath of air.

He looked at his second brother: "What do you mean?"

Wei Qingsong replied: "Let Tian Chong take action and teach the Gu family a lesson with the power of thunder."

"But the Gu family just refused to sell the shop, so we let Tian Chong take action. If this spreads out, it won't be the Gu family who went back on their word, but our Wei family who took it by force!"

"There is nothing we can do about it. Otherwise, it is not enough to scare Xiao Xiao. We must let them know that without Tang Jie, we still have Wei Tianchong."

Wei Danbai immediately said: "Then why not wait until those little ones jump out and then teach them a lesson? The reputation of the Wei family cannot be compromised, and a teacher has a reputation!"

"I'm afraid it will be too late by then."
