Chapter 1038 Driving the Wolf and Devouring the Tiger
Lin Ze looked unfinished and asked, "Is there really no more?"
Jiang Yuesheng didn't dare to slack off, and replied quickly and honestly: "Back to the patriarch, the disciple's ability is limited, and he can only think of this, and I hope the patriarch will forgive me." ”
Lin Ze sighed and said: "Alas, that's really a pity, just this bit of credit, I'm afraid it's not enough for me to recommend you as the next palace master, you still have to work hard." ”
Lin Ze said as he carefully observed Jiang Yuesheng's expression.
Jiang Yuesheng inevitably had a look of loss on his face, but he said with a strong spirit: "The disciple is not talented, and the ancestor has been disappointed, but please rest assured that the disciple will work harder in the future." ”
"It is an honor for a disciple to be favored by the patriarch, and if he cannot be favored by the patriarch, it is also the life of the disciple. ”
Lin Ze smiled and said undeniably: "Life, life is the excuse of the weak, and luck is the humility of the strong." ”
"If you want to become enlightened and step into the realm of heaven and man, it is far from enough to believe in fate, only by moving forward bravely and fearlessly breaking the shackles of fate can you have the opportunity to receive the gift of heaven. ”
Jiang Yuesheng was shocked when he heard this, bowed down and said, "Thank you for your guidance." ”
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "Don't be polite, you do things with me, there will be many opportunities to get guidance in the future, and whether you can grasp it depends on yourself." ”
Hui Shi, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected: "If you have any questions, you can also come to me, although I am not a saint, but I have tens of thousands of years of cultivation experience, and my understanding of the Great Dao is no better than that of some people who opportunistically promote to the realm of saints." ”
Jiang Yuesheng suddenly fell into the trouble of "happiness", in normal times, if he could get the guidance of the two ancestors, he would probably be able to laugh out loud in his dreams.
But right now, the two patriarchs don't like each other, and he really doesn't dare to participate too much.
is the so-called immortal fighting method, mortals suffer, some things may be just a small fight for the two ancestors, but for him, it may be a catastrophe.
Jiang Yuesheng replied stiffly: "The disciple knows, and he will definitely bother the ancestor when he turns around." ”
Patriarch Lin Ze can't afford to offend, and Patriarch Hui Shi can't afford to offend either, Jiang Yuesheng, who is caught in the middle, can only go back like this.
Hui Shi immediately glanced at Lin Ze with a provocative eye, as if to say, what's the big deal, I'm no worse than you.
Lin Ze smiled indifferently, he didn't care, whether it was his words to win over Jiang Yuesheng before, or whether it was to mention Jiang Yuesheng's behavior, it was not to be angry with Hui Shi, nor to know how to accelerate the growth of the Jianmu Divine Tree.
After all, Lin Ze didn't know how much he thought about the simple strategy of artificially cultivating natural treasures, and he thought much deeper than Jiang Yuesheng.
Lin Ze mainly wanted to test whether Jiang Yuesheng knew about the fact that he had become a pawn of the Dao Saint, and wanted to further explore the special features of Jiang Yuesheng and why the Dao Saint would use him as a pawn.
However, Lin Ze's temptation was not a success or failure, Jiang Yuesheng's expression, as well as the tone and demeanor of his speech, and even the entanglement and uneasiness sandwiched between the two, were mediocre at best.
All kinds of performances are too normal, normal makes people feel a little abnormal.
So much so that Lin Ze couldn't deduce whether it was Jiang Yuesheng's nature or his acting skills were too superb.
The former seems to prove that the Taoist saint is meticulous in its layout, and the latter seems to prove that the Taoist saint will select and employ people.
The shadow that Dao Sheng gave to Lin Ze was so deep that he faintly felt a sense of delusional persecution.
Lin Ze's silence was mistaken by Hui Shi for thinking that he had backed down, so he further persecuted: "I don't know how the junior brother arranged for the two of me?"
"It's impossible for the two of us to come all the way to Chang'an and not do any work, right?
"Or did the junior brother never think about it, or didn't take the task assigned by the teacher to heart at all, so he didn't know how to arrange us?"
Lin Ze smiled indifferently and said: "Senior brother is too worried, since the senior brother was ordered by the teacher to revive the Jianmu Divine Tree, he will naturally not slack off and ignore it, as for the two senior brothers, the senior brother really has something to hand over to the two of you." ”
Hui Shi's tone was slightly deep: "What's the matter?"
Lin Ze said clearly: "Build an altar." ”
Hui Shi's face suddenly collapsed: "It's just an altar, why bother to be so nervous, if someone sees it, maybe some gossip will be said." ”
"What's more, in addition to being built in the land of Guanzhong, near Chang'an City, where else can the altar be built?"
Lin Ze shook his head slightly: "The third senior brother is wrong, the senior brother didn't say that only one altar was built, let alone that it must be built near Chang'an, I don't know where the third senior brother got the rumors?"
Hui Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "There is only one fragment of the Jianmu Divine Tree, what is the use of too many altars? For example, today it is the most common people in Guanzhong, and the altar needs to be guarded, so it is the best choice to build it near Chang'an." Junior brother shouldn't even know this, right?"
Lin Ze said calmly: "Of course I know what Senior Brother said, but Senior Brother never thought that if the matter of Jianmu Divine Tree was leaked out, those who have grievances with the Dao Palace will have crooked thoughts?"
"The revival of the Jianmu Divine Tree is not an overnight effort, if Senior Brother is an enemy of the Dao Palace, will he try to destroy it?"
"For example, the altar is uprooted with the tree of the sacred tree. ”
Hui Shi said with a displeased face: "What does the junior brother want to say?"
Lin Ze said calmly: "Senior brother wants to build eight altars, distribute them all over the world, and send people to strictly guard them, and do not allow others to approach. ”
"In this way, if the thieves want to know the location of the Jianmu Divine Tree, they have to take the risk of startling the snakes, and what awaits them will be a net of heaven and earth that has been arranged in advance. ”
"I wonder what Senior Brother thinks?"
Hui Shi sneered when he heard this: "No, who can't recognize such a clumsy plan?"
said this, but what Hui Shi thought in his heart was that he couldn't let Lin Ze succeed easily.
Lin Ze seemed to have expected it, and replied slowly: "Third Senior Brother seems to have forgotten a little, the teacher arranged for you to assist Senior Brother, not for you to oppose it at every turn, Senior Brother. ”
"If the senior brother can't say a reasonable reason, it's better to do it, otherwise if the teacher learns about it, he won't be angry, and the third senior brother will think twice. ”
Hui Shi's eyes were on fire when he heard this, as if asking: Are you threatening me?
Lin Ze's eyes were gloomy, his expression was indifferent, and he seemed to reply: What's wrong with threatening you? Do you really dare to go against the will of the Dao Saint?
Hui Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you to build eight altars in different locations. ”
Lin Ze smiled slightly: "That's really good, when I go back, the junior brother will let people mark the eight locations on the map, and arrange a team of experienced and relatively mild Shaofu generals to cooperate with the senior brother to complete this matter." ”
Hui Shi was still a little unconvinced: "Just as the junior brother said, if it is invalid, the junior brother will explain it to the teacher himself." ”
Lin Ze said disapprerovantly: "As long as the recovery of the Jianmu Divine Tree goes smoothly, the teacher will only turn a blind eye to these problems." ”
"Even if the revival of the Jianmu Divine Tree encounters difficulties, there will be a senior brother who will bear it with all his might, and it will not affect the senior brother. ”
Hui Shi added in a low voice: "It's a good saying, you won't know what it will be until you meet it." ”
Lin Ze ignored him, but turned to Jiang Yuesheng and asked indifferently: "You will act with your Hui Shi Patriarch, I am looking forward to your performance, one day you will become the first generation of palace masters of the Dao Palace." ”
Jiang Yuesheng was slightly excited: "The disciple respectfully obeys the patriarch's decree. ”
Hui Shi instinctively frowned, but didn't say anything.
Lin Ze's expression moved slightly, his face was happy, he let Jiang Yuesheng participate in it, of course, not because of his ability, but for two purposes:
First, try to find a way to keep Hui Shi and Jiang Yuesheng away from themselves because they are obsessed with building altars.
Second, create opportunities for Hui Shi and Jiang Yuesheng to fight.
Lin Ze was more concerned about the second point, if Hui Shi and Jiang Yuesheng were both Dao Sage pawns, and they didn't know about it, once they fought, they would unknowingly expose the Dao Sage's backhand.
When you think about it, it's exciting.
