Chapter 492 Undercurrent


    Nanyue City, late at night.


    There was an old man with white hair in Situ’s house.


    He sat at the table with a serious expression. The tea on the table was cold and he didn''t have time to take a sip.


    Situ Fang frowned slightly and asked:


    "Look, what do the clan says?"


    The old man named Situ Wang frowned and shook his head and sighed:


    “The clan cannot get out of his hands…”


    Situ Fang frowned and said, "Our Situ family is a third-rank family at least. It is impossible for more than a dozen foundation-building foundations to be drawn. Do you not believe it very much?"


    Si Situ Wang nodded: "There is also this reason."


    He sighed, "Eighty iron corpses, tens of thousands of walking corpses, this... is so outrageous..."


    The entire second-grade state community may not be able to gather strength to compete with it.


    Situ Fang sighed slightly.


    She actually didn''t believe it very much, or she couldn''t believe it.


    But the news was found out by Mo Hua and sent by the Bai brothers and sisters. Even if she couldn''t believe it, she knew that it was most likely that it would not be fake.


    Ink painting acts unexpectedly.


    Although he is young, he is sometimes a little bold.


    But when he does things, he often plans and thinks carefully.


    Since I met Mo Hua, what he said and did were quite reliable, and there should be no falsehood.


    But others may not believe it...


    Situ Wang said, "I heard that this news was found out by a young monk?"


    Situ Fang nodded.


    “How old is he?”


    Situ Fang was silent for a moment and whispered: "Thirteen..."


    Situ Wang was a little hard to describe, and said helplessly: "At the age of thirteen... Even if I believe it, the clan will not believe it... At the age of thirteen..."


    Situ Wang shook his head.


    The monk has a long life span.


    The family monks have rich family backgrounds and rich conditions.


    Generally, monks under the age of 20 look very young and are still considered children.


    Situ Wang was also puzzled by a thirteen-year-old child who could find out such a big thing.


    But he was born in the same lineage as Situ Fang, and he grew up watching her since childhood. He knew her character, so he went here to see the situation.


    Situ Fang had no choice but to say:


    "Mo Hua, he is a first-grade formation master."


    Situ Wang was stunned, "Who?"


    "The little monk you mentioned."


    Situ Wang''s palm trembled, "Thirteen years old? First-grade formation master?"


    Situ Fang nodded.


    Situ Wang lost the elder''s airs and couldn''t help but ask in a low voice:


    "Is it true or false?"


    Situ Fang was helpless, "Can I still lie to you? If you don''t believe it, you can ask Elder Jin."


    Ink painting is young and has too high talent, and is easily jealous and hated.


    Situ Fang did not make any public comments everywhere. In Situ’s family, only Situ Fang and the two elders who had seen Mo Hua knew about this.


    Situ Wang was a little lost and murmured:


    "Thirteen years old, first-grade formation master... How did this little monk''s head grow..."


    Situ Fang said:


    "If he is now, he should have some weight..."


    Situ Wang frowned, pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly:


    "If this is true, he cannot be treated as an ordinary young monk. First-grade formation masters are also well-known figures in the second-grade state world, and they will not use such things as jokes..."


    Situ Fang''s beautiful eyes lit up slightly, "That elder..."


    Situ Wang still shook his head, "I can only try my best to fight for it, but it is not my final say whether the clan agrees or not."


    "Is it because of the corpse disaster?" Situ Fang frowned.


    "Not bad..." Situ Wang sighed, "This matter is too dangerous..."


    "It is extremely terrifying to have such powerful iron corpses and so many walking corpses controlled by people to form a tide of corpses."


    "Zombies can be different from ordinary monks..."


    "If you fight against monks, you will usually be injured. Just find a way to cure it, there is nothing serious."


    "But when fighting with zombies, once they are injured and bleeding, they are infected with corpse energy, and the corpse poison will attack the heart, and then spread again, the consequences will be uncontrollable..."


    Situ Wang had deep shock in his eyes.


    Situ Fang was also a little silent.


    “In addition, there is one of the most important things…”


    Situ Wang looked at Situ Fang and didn''t want to speak, but after thinking about it, he said bluntly:


    "This matter is of no benefit to our Situ family."


    Situ Fang was stunned when she heard this.


    Situ Wang said silently: "Our Situ family has served in all dynasties. Our ancestors started from the Daoting Demon Suppression Department. They have a serious style and are jealous of evil..."


    "But no matter what, the family is a family after all, and the interests of the family need to be put first..."


    "This matter is not very profitable."


    Situ Wang paused and said:


    "At least in the face of risks, this benefit is not big..."


    The real contribution to destroying corpses and suppressing thousands of zombies is actually huge.


    But the price paid and the risks taken are several times huge.


    The corpse king ruled the iron corpse and ruled the corpse tide. It is possible that the monks sent by the Situ family were wiped out.


    The Situ family cannot afford this risk.


    "That Daoting..." Situ Fang frowned.


    "The same is true for Daoting." Situ Wang said, "Even if Daoting knows and believes it, weighing the gains and losses may not necessarily take big moves."


    Situ Wang said in a deep voice: "Daoting is even more complicated than our Situ family. The distribution of power and interests in it are unclear..."


    Seeing that Situ Fang didn''t quite understand, Situ Wang explained it a little:


    “By moral terms, it is natural to follow the laws of Tao and kill corpses and eliminate demons.”


    "But in reality, this matter is very difficult."


    "To eliminate corpse mines, we must make a debut soldier and spirit stones."


    "Who comes out of the Taoist soldiers? Who comes out of the spirit stone?"


    "The Taoist soldiers must have logistics when going to war. The Taoist soldiers must have casualties and injuries, and they must have pensions. However, the mobilization of manpower and material resources cannot be separated from the spirit stone."


    "If there are heavy casualties, you must bear huge responsibility."


    "Once things succeed and make contributions, there will suddenly be many more people to share the credit. Even those who are unrelated will reach out and want to get a share of the credit..."


    "Taking huge risks, taking huge responsibilities, paying huge prices, and destroying the corpse mines, it is very likely that the credit will be the ones that belong to someone else..."


    "Who is willing to do such a thing?"


    Situ Wang sighed:


    "Unless the Lu family really violated a taboo and blatantly left the evil demons and heretics, the Taoist court was furious and issued an order to kill them, otherwise the court officials, who were all over the country, would not accept this hot potato..."


    Situ Fang sighed disappointedly. Situ Wang looked at Situ Fang with a little care.


    Although Situ Fang is not very talented, she is also the most upright, motivated and responsible disciple in their veins.


    Such disciples are more worthy of cultivation than those who are simple and talented but have flaws in their minds.


    Besides, the two of them are of the same lineage and they are elders, so Situ Wang doesn''t want her to take risks.


    "The water in Nanyue City is too muddy. Even if we can afford it, there is no need to get dirty..."


    Situ Wang pondered for a moment and said tactfully:


    "Fang Yat-tou, according to my wishes, you should take the opportunity to leave..."


    His brows were frowning deeply:


    "If the situation really deteriorates and the situation turns sharply, the entire Nanyue City will turn into a purgatory on earth. By that time, no one can guarantee your safety..."


    "You should also cherish your future in practicing Taoism..."


    Situ Fang was stunned and said sincerely: "Thank you, Uncle Wang!"


    But she thought for a while and shook her head:


    "I am the Diansi of Nanyue City. Although my cultivation is not high, my responsibilities are always what I should do."


    Situ Wang frowned, "You can do nothing..."


    "If it''s impossible," Situ Fang said, "I''ll consider leaving again."


    Situ Wang was silent for a moment and sighed:


    "I have to do this."


    He took out another jade slip and said helplessly:


    "I will write another book to pass it to the Hui tribe, let them take into account the overall situation, and send some people to the Taoist Bings Office, and let them walk around..."


    "But how much help can be achieved depends on God''s will..."


    Situ Fang was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed:


    "Thank you uncle!"


    Situ Wang saw Situ Fang like this, which was both gratifying and emotional, but when he thought about the matter of the corpse and mine, his eyes were very worried and his expression was not optimistic.


    Eighty iron corpses, tens of thousands of walking corpses...


    If there is a slight mistake, it will lead to a catastrophe in the state...


    Situ Wang shook his head and sighed, "It''s difficult..."


    …


    Nanyue City, Nanyue Sect, in a tea room filled with smoke.


    The head of Nanyue Sect is having a secret conversation with Elder Su.


    The head of Nanyue Sect was named Zhao. He was over 280 years old in the middle of the foundation building period. He was in charge of Nanyue Sect for 110 years and was very prestigious among the sects.


    "Do you know what the Lu family is doing?"


    After the two of them finished tea, Chief Zhao was straight to the point.


    Elder Su frowned, "What is the matter that the leader said?"


    "Mining matters." Zhao Zheng said.


    Elder Su pondered for a moment and said slowly:


    "I only heard some rumors..."


    Mr. Zhao took a sip of tea without saying anything.


    Elder Su couldn''t see his expression from the face of Chief Zhao, so he thought:


    "The Lu family...is there really something wrong with it?"


    President Zhao glanced at him and said lightly:


    "The Lu family is fine. Can it occupy so many mines, can it afford Jinhua Street, can it earn so many spirit stones, can it live a life of luxury?"


    "If you don''t do production, you will have huge profits. There are most likely problems with eight out of ten."


    Elder Su looked solemn, "What''s the problem with the Lu family?"


    President Zhao shook his head slightly, "I only have some gossip and no truth, so I can''t say it."


    He glanced at Elder Su and said:


    "I know that you have a good relationship with Lu Chengyun. I want to tell you something."


    Elder Su said respectfully:


    "Please give me advice!"


    President Zhao nodded slightly, then whispered:


    "Our Nanyue Sect, from top to bottom, has a good relationship with the Lu family and is related to the interests. It has also received a lot of spiritual stones from the Lu family..."


    Elder Su frowned:


    "What the head of the sect mean is that we have collected the Lu family''s spirit stones and want to be in the same spirit as the Lu family?"


    President Zhao shook his head and said meaningfully:


    "I mean, although we collected the Lu family spirit stones, we must not be stubborn and stand on the same boat as the Lu family..."


    Elder Su was stunned, "Is this true? Isn''t it too kind..."


    President Zhao shook his head, "What the sect emphasizes is interests, not kindness."


    "Then isn''t the Lu family''s spirit stone also a benefit?"


    President Zhao explained:


    "Spirit stones are interests, but only short-term profits. The existence of the sect is the fundamental interest."


    "The prosperity of spirit stones can indeed bring temporary prosperity."


    "But if the position of good and evil is disrupted because of the spirit stone and affects the life and death of the sect, then you must be decisive and give up small profits for the sake of great gains!"


    Elder Su was stunned and thoughtful.


    President Zhao sighed:


    “Many monks don’t understand this principle.”


    "So this Nanyue City, the sects and families are prosperous, but only our Nanyue City has survived for hundreds of years."


    "The Lu family is not as long as us."


    Master Zhao looked at Elder Su and reminded:


    "When you should talk about interests, you should talk about principles, and when you should talk about principles."


    "Don''t break the principle because of interests, otherwise you will cause a big disaster!"


    Elder Su Zheng pointed at the key point, "Sect Master, I remember."


    President Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and sighed happily:


    "I''m over the age of prosperity and strength. The position of the leader of this sect will always be passed on. You are not as wise as others, but you value love and loyalty, and you are proficient in formations and hone your skills. Maybe the position of the leader of the Nanyue Sect in the future will be yours..."


    Elder Su never expected that he could hear such words and couldn''t help asking:


    "Master, are you... drawing a cake for me?"


    Master Zhao glared at him, "Do you think anyone is qualified to let me draw a cake? I have high hopes for you!"


    Elder Su hurriedly bowed his head:


    “Yes, yes!”


    After that, President Zhao gave a few more instructions.


    Before leaving, Elder Su was still a little puzzled:


    "President, what should we do about the Lu family? "


    It is really unwise to break up with the Lu family.


    It is not safe to be in a relationship with the Lu family.


    Chief Zhao gave specific instructions:


    "If the Lu family doesn''t make a mistake, we pretend not to know anything. We should take the spirit stone and take the spirit stone. This is called talking about interests when we should talk about interests."


    "If the Lu family happens, we will clearly divide it from them, and even take action to suppress them at all costs. This is called talking about principles when it is time to talk about principles..."


    Elder Su suddenly realized.


    He is worthy of being the head of the sect, and his grasp of interests and principles is quite flexible.


    Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone~
