Chapter 70 Zhang Jingqing's Decision
Chapter 70 Zhang Jingqing's Decision
Hearing Li Cunzhen's words.
Zuo Ruotong thought for a moment and said.
"Leave the Quanxing Sect and gather your karmic connections for seven days..."
"No one has done this in years. Anyone with enemies is courting death, and anyone without enemies can simply retire."
The so-called "receiving blessings" means sitting quietly in a place that has been widely announced beforehand, during which you cannot refuse any requests made by anyone.
It takes seven days of this process to complete the successful collection of blessings.
At this point, Zuo Ruotong paused before continuing.
"But now that Ghost Hand King is going to make this trip, according to the rules, it is indeed necessary for someone from Quanxing to be present."
Upon hearing this, Li Cunzhen nodded slightly.
Just as he had expected.
His master had spared Ghost Hand King many times, and in the original story, he even said that if Wugensheng were not from Quanxing, he might have become his close friend.
He was quite lenient towards Quanxing.
Or rather, Zuo Ruotong sometimes doesn't care whether you are a member of the Quanxing sect or not.
It all comes down to what you do. If you do good deeds, you're a good person; if you do bad deeds, you're a bad person.
Those who commit heinous acts deserve to die.
Therefore, he did not object to Wugensheng coming to witness Wang Yaozu's acceptance of ordination.
It wasn't just him.
Judging from Li Muxuan's experience at Yinghe Tower in the original novel.
When faced with someone who claims to be from the Quanxing sect but has never been known to have committed any evil deeds, most righteous people do not adopt a policy of extermination.
I just keep my distance when I encounter them.
So as long as Wugensheng doesn't cause trouble, there shouldn't be any problem with him witnessing a karmic connection.
He thought about it.
At this moment, Zuo Ruotong suddenly changed her tune.
"However, there are so many like-minded people here, and we must also consider their opinions, especially the Celestial Master's Mansion and the Lu family."
He looked down at Li Cunzhen and spoke.
"Cunzhen, are you feeling better? If you can, come with me."
Then he looked at Zhuge Yunhui and Lü Ren.
"My two young friends, you can also tell your elders about this and ask for their opinions."
Li Cunzhen was not surprised to hear this, nodded, and then got out of bed.
He voluntarily dispelled the lightning spell at the last moment and did not suffer any real harm.
The unconsciousness was simply due to exhaustion before the backlash from the lightning magic.
I've been resting in bed for two hours now and I'm fine.
Upon hearing this, Lü Ren and Zhuge Yunhui bowed to Zuo Ruotong and then went out to find their respective elders.
After the two of them walked away.
Li Cunzhen had already put on his clothes and shoes and was standing next to Zuo Ruotong.
Without further ado, the four of them walked together toward the guest rooms of the Celestial Master's Mansion.
The leader of Jiyun Society and Liao Tianlin then went to tell Old Master Lu the news.
............
A moment later.
The guest rooms of the Lu family courtyard, where the Celestial Master's Mansion is located.
dong dong dong.
Zuo Ruotong raised her hand to knock on the door and spoke.
"Master, how is your disciple? Wang Yaozu sent a letter, there's something he needs your attention on."
The voice just fell.
There was a creaking sound.
The wooden door to the guest room was opened from the inside, revealing Zhang Jingqing's figure.
He glanced at Zuo Ruotong and her group.
"Master Zuo, please come in quickly."
He then pointed to Zhang Zhiwei on the bed.
"This beast was lucky; it deliberately dissipated its power at the last moment, so it wasn't fundamentally damaged and is now fine."
"Otherwise, if something really happens to his upper dantian, his life will be over."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei gave an awkward smile and scratched his head.
"Look at what you're saying, I'm fine. Since I know that my internal energy is dissipating, it means I know what I'm doing."
Then he looked behind Zhang Jingqing, grinned, and called out to her.
"Master Zuo, Fellow Daoist Li, who is this...?"
"Li Muxuan, my younger brother, you met him when we drew lots."
"Oh right, Fellow Daoist Li Muxuan!"
"Oh, Young Master Lu!"
Lu Jin's expression froze instantly.
Before he could react, Zhang Jingqing and Zuo Ruotong had already sat down.
The former asked.
"Wang Yaozu? The one Jiyun Society wants to recruit? What business does he have that requires my help? Could it be... related to Quanxing?"
Zuo Ruotong nodded and said succinctly.
"That's right."
"The Quanxing sect has a new acting leader named Wugensheng. He said that since some Quanxing members have left the sect, it's not appropriate to leave without Quanxing members. He wants to bring people over."
"But he was afraid we would kill him if he came over, so he asked beforehand."
Upon hearing the words "acting leader of Quanxing Sect".
Zhang Jingqing narrowed her eyes, then spoke to Zuo Ruotong.
"When did Quanxing produce another acting leader? Wugensheng... I've never heard of him!"
"Accepting donations...it seems there is such a rule, Master Zuo, what do you think?"
Zuo Ruotong answered truthfully.
"After all, there is this rule. With you and me here, we are not afraid of him playing any tricks. I think it's fine. I'm just worried that our fellow practitioners won't accept it."
Zhang Jingqing nodded upon hearing this.
That makes sense.
"To tell you the truth, if it were a normal Quanxing, I would have agreed, but this is only an acting leader. I'm afraid keeping him around would be a disaster."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhang Zhiwei.
"Zhiwei, what do you think?"
Zhang Zhiwei, who was lying on the bed, was taken aback when he heard this, and then pursed his lips.
"That's easy, let him come. If there are no problems, great. But if he's really a menace, then we can intervene!"
Zuo Ruotong spoke up upon hearing this.
"Young friend Zhang, the Celestial Master's Mansion has a thousand-year-old reputation. To go back on your word for a Quanxing heretic is, although it is a good deed, not worth it."
Zhang Jingqing also cursed angrily.
"You beast! What nonsense are you spouting! You've utterly disgraced the Celestial Master's Mansion!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhiwei repeatedly admitted defeat.
"Alright! Alright! I'll shut up! You insisted on asking, and now if I tell you, you'll just scold me."
Zhang Jingqing was furious.
"How dare you talk back!"
Zhang Zhiwei immediately fell silent.
As Zuo Ruotong and her group watched this farce, their eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
Especially the three apprentices.
He couldn't help but think to himself.
Luckily, I became a disciple of a master. If I had gone to Longhu Mountain, life would have been much harder!
They gave Zhang Zhiwei a good beating.
Zhang Jingqing then turned around and said.
"I thought about it, and although keeping him around might be a problem, if we don't let him come, the problem will still remain anyway."
"It would be better to let him come over, at least we can see what kind of person he is, so we can deal with him in the future."
Zuo Ruotong nodded in agreement.
"The Celestial Master is indeed very thoughtful. In that case, let's go and tell Old Master Lu about this."
Zhang Jingqing nodded upon hearing this.
Then, the two stood up and walked into the inner room.
Li Cunzhen and others followed closely behind.
When everyone arrived, they saw the leader of Jiyun Society, Old Master Lu, and Lu Xuan talking.
Upon seeing Zhang Jingqing and Zuo Ruotong arrive, Lu Xuan quickly stood up.
"Celestial Master! Master Zuo! You must help me persuade my uncle!"
"Although I've never heard of Wugensheng, the acting leader of the Quanxing Sect is no pushover. I'm not comfortable letting him come to the Lu family!"
As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, Old Master Lu spoke again.
"What's there to worry about! The Celestial Master and the Left Sect Master are both here. What can a few Quanxing demons possibly do?"
The leader of Jiyun Society quickly offered an explanation.
"Wang Yao's group is recruiting members on a small mountain outside the town. He and the Quanxing people will not come to the Lu family. It's just that you fellow practitioners are here to observe the ceremony. They need to stay at the Lu family for a while longer."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan still looked troubled.
"This...this..."
Finally, he said it as if he was giving up.
"Then let the Celestial Master and the Left Sect Master make the decision!"
He looked at Zhang Jingqing.
Zhang Jingqing told Lu Xuan about his consideration.
Lu Xuan had no choice but to agree.
After discussing the matter, everyone looked at the leader of the Jiyun Society and asked him how long it would take for Ghost Hand King to arrive.
Upon hearing this, the latter calculated the days.
"Three more days."
