Chapter 478 Moral kidnapping? I have no morals
Di Luong was unaware of what was happening. Seeing that no one responded, he thought he had hit upon the point, and continued, "Besides, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. We cultivators live a carefree and immortal life, and rarely interfere with the affairs of humanity. We let the people live and die, and we have our own longevity. What's more, we personally support Qianlong and determine the fate of the dynasty."
Gu Qingyuan sneered in his heart. It turned out that he was a person who liked to put on airs. Once his status became high, he could not come down from it. Instead, he thought that he was really an immortal sage and looked down upon the common people. Little did he know that without the cycle of humanity, how could the immortal way last forever.
"Fellow Daoist Di Lu is wrong. The matter of the hidden dragon is already connected with the fate of heaven and earth. There are many things involved, and it is no longer something that can be decided by one family or one surname. If we don't take action, it is inevitable that the world will be turned upside down, and the danger of dragons and snakes rising up on the land will be unavoidable. What will happen to the people?"
As the host, True Man Yuxian naturally had to step out to smooth things over, so that the alliance oath-taking ceremony would not be disrupted by this idiot.
Di Lu Weng grinned: "It's just a small demon sect, but it caused such a big scene. People who don't know would think that there is no one in my righteous sect, and let that demon dominate the world!"
"I, an old Taoist, also know some tricks. Although I am not as famous as Yuan Li, I have lived for a long time and have accumulated some skills. I am not talented, but I am willing to take the lead and fight against the Fengdu demon."
He stretched out his hand, and a black iron gun appeared. "I am a straightforward person. I will tell you when there is work to do. I can't bear to see you guys dilly-dallying here. Killing demons and exorcising evil, the worst that can happen is death."
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what this Di Lu Weng was up to. Di Lu Weng was very proud and confident, but he changed the subject: "It's just that I, the old Taoist priest, have a small matter to deal with."
He turned to look at Gu Qingyuan: "Although I don't agree with what you said about the hidden dragon, I believe that the Taoist friends present have already made a decision. If you want me to take action, I still need you to be witnesses. I don't want anything else. I just want you to choose a hidden dragon for me so that my Taoist lineage can replenish its luck and fortune, so as not to be cut off after my death. Let me make it clear in advance that I am alone, I don't have much family background, and I don't have any money to offer."
Who among the scattered immortals could have imagined that Di Luong's purpose would be to end here. One moment he was talking about the difference between immortals and mortals, and the next second he wanted a hidden dragon's destiny, and in exchange for not paying an ounce of gold or silver.
Feng Yang pondered for a moment, and his lips moved: "I heard that Di Luong also had a son, but he was killed by his evil enemies and tortured to death. Di Luong also loved his son very much, and spent most of his cultivation to gather his soul, and then sent him to reincarnate. Because of this, his soul was torn apart and he fell ill. The soul is the root of life. Since then, although his Taoism has increased, his temperament has become more and more strange."
'After going crazy, he used his courage to calm his mind and suppressed his distracting thoughts with his righteousness. He became more and more paranoid and could not tolerate any sand in his eyes. If he met a demon, no matter how big or small, he would kill him. This has been going on for three hundred years.'
Gu Qingyuan remained calm when hearing the message, and also sent a message back: "He is dying."
Feng Yang looked at him fiercely, and Gu Qingyuan nodded: "The soul is cracked and the heart is exhausted. It is only supported by strong cultivation and natural treasures, but it is also a temporary solution. In a day or two, life and death will be the outcome."
"So what does he want?" Feng Yang asked.
"It is estimated that he is about to die and wants to leave behind a Taoist tradition. He also wants to take the opportunity of fighting in the front and killing the demon to make a good relationship with the Xuanmen present."
Gu Qingyuan said in a letter: "It must not be an ordinary elixir that can prolong life with natural treasures. I am afraid that he has lost all his family fortune. A penny can make a hero fall. He wants to use me to get a latent dragon for free, but he can only beg for it by throwing a tantrum."
"I've said before that Qianlong is a business, how can I give it to you for nothing," Gu Qingyuan shook his head, "You and I are not old acquaintances, and our ancestors have no good relationship, nor do we have any friendship. This matter is difficult to handle." Di Lu Weng said roguely, "I am fighting for the righteous path, and Taoist Qinghong is also an orthodox sect of Xuanmen. How can a mere Qianlong be compared with the great cause of eliminating demons and protecting the path? Don't you even want to make this choice?"
'Moral kidnapping, using force to force people?'
Gu Qingyuan found it somewhat funny. Not to mention that he was on and off the Xuanmen, he himself did not consider himself to be righteous. He just wore this skin to get some advantages when doing things, so he could not be bound by it.
He just shook his head and said nothing. His attitude was clear and the atmosphere instantly became cold. The immortals did not speak either. They had already asked about the price of Qianlong. If it was for the profit of their own sect, they would give up some superficial wealth, but they were not willing to give even a penny to benefit others. What's more, the price was not just a penny, but the accumulation of decades of the sect.
"It's a good thing that Daoist Fellow Dilu wants to exorcise the demon, but Daoist Fellow Qinghong did the calculations himself, and I, the righteous Dao, will definitely not take it away by force."
Yu Xian Zhenren said in a low voice: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I think it would be better if the several families present here come together to help you out. My Xuan Yuan Sect will take the lead and contribute three-tenths. What do you think?"
Since the host has spoken, we naturally have to give him face. Monk Lekong is a Buddhist and does not care much about external things. If it were some Buddhist cicada shells or the relics of a great master, he would still fight for it. But now that he is giving away some spiritual materials and precious medicines, Putuo Temple is a big family and has a great business, so it doesn't mind.
The other immortals pondered for a moment and agreed. The ice and snow melted and the atmosphere in the field became harmonious again. But at this moment, someone else spoke.
"All of you fellow Taoists have gathered here for the sake of the common people and the great cause of the righteous path. This is a good thing. You, Qinghong, have done nothing for the righteous path and have been of no benefit to the Xuanmen, but you have been forcing yourself to do business. You just took advantage of the opportunity and dared to ask for a high price."
"If you ask me, if you have a trace of righteousness in your heart, you should make those hundred latent dragons public, so as not to hurt the harmony and delay the important event of Xuanmen."
There are those who are willing to get involved in Qianlong's affairs. They have large families and deep financial resources. But there are also those who are poor or stingy by nature and are unwilling to spend money. They use the words of Di Lu Weng to make trouble, as if Gu Qingyuan is the number one sinner of the righteous path because he is unwilling to tell the whole story.
Gu Qingyuan did not tolerate him. He slapped the back of his head and a divine light appeared. It was the Red Feather Five Fire Fan. When the divine fan moved, it released real fire. It had no effect on other immortals, but forced out the person who had just spoken.
"When you open your mouth, you care about the people of the world; when you close your mouth, you care about the great cause of righteousness. It seems that you are the most kind person in the world. I am afraid that you are tossing and turning in the middle of the night and worrying about the righteousness of the people. But I wonder what kind of achievements you have made now, what kind of words, merits, and fame you have accomplished?"
The man rolled over, his eyebrows singed off by the true fire, and even his robe was burned with several large holes. He looked very embarrassed. Gu Qingyuan's eyes flashed: "I see that your luck is mixed and chaotic. I don't see that you have much external skills, but you are entangled with a lot of karma and obstacles. If the heaven has eyes, it should send down thunder punishment and kill you first!"
The divine fan was too fast and the true fire was too fierce, and the group of immortals were driven out before they could stop the man. For a moment, everyone was frightened and didn't know how they would deal with it if it were them to avoid being so embarrassed.
