The blood spurted out so quickly and because the black lotus' attack was too overbearing, it couldn't be stopped for a while.
I can only talk while bleeding...
"It's a blessing in disguise."
"But why did Black Lotus suddenly freeze and let me kill him?"
"Is there some conspiracy?"
Everyone looked at each other.
But someone soon refuted: "I don't think it's a conspiracy. If this is all its conspiracy, then it's a bit too scary. Besides, no one knows the situation better than us."
"Given the situation, there is no need for any conspiracy. If we continue to fight, we will be the ones to lose. As long as we lose, will there be any way for Xianwu Continent to survive?"
Duanmu frowned: "If we lose, there will only be one way left, but no one knows whether that way can be taken, so it is really unnecessary to do this. Even if there is a conspiracy, it is not used in this way."
"right!"
Gu Xinglian nodded: "So I think it must have gone astray."
"Being possessed?"
Everyone was surprised.
They were still wondering if someone had secretly acted and used some special means to confuse the Black Lotus of Destruction!
But for a moment, no one could figure out who did it and what means they used.
So you, Gu Xinglian, said it was a form of obsession?
"This... isn't right. With such strength, how could he go astray?"
Faced with doubts, Gu Xinglian calmly shook her head and refuted: "Who says that if you are strong, you won't go astray? Going astray exists in any realm, doesn't it?"
"In fact, the stronger the existence, the greater the reaction of going astray!"
"Besides, this World-Destroying Black Lotus devoured like crazy, and I don't know how many people's essences and even 'memories' it plundered for its own use. The essences, memories, and magic of so many people merged into one, and because they were unable to integrate them, they went astray. This doesn't seem to be difficult to understand, right?"
"What do you think?"
"this···"
"If we analyze it this way, it is indeed possible."
Everyone suddenly realized.
They had not considered this level before, but after being pointed out by Gu Xinglian, they suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with it, absolutely nothing wrong with it!
Going astray is actually caused by "not practicing well enough".
It could be that the energy in the body is unstable, or the spirit is not strong enough.
But the Black Lotus of Destruction swallowed the essences of so many people, and there is a high probability that both of them are unstable!
Since both of them are unstable, what's so strange about going astray?
Only Li Canghai stared at Gu Xinglian strangely without saying anything.
Obsessed?
As the number one devil in the world, she was certain that she would not make a mistake, and the World-Destroying Black Lotus was not a demonic possession at all!
How could the energy in a possessed person's body be so 'peaceful'? It would definitely explode like a landslide or tsunami!
But at this moment, most people agreed with this statement, and it was proposed by Gu Xinglian...
There is no need to expose it yourself.
But what does this have to do with Gu Xinglian?
Could it be that she did it secretly?
If so...
Then this Gu Xinglian, I'm afraid she has a secret that no one knows. This method can make the World-Destroying Black Lotus dazed and shiver, I'm afraid it can also make us...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Gu Xinglian deeply.
The latter noticed something and smiled at her.
Li Canghai, however, had a fake smile on his face.
"Yes."
"I am not the only smart person present here. I am definitely not the only one who is convinced that the World-Destroying Black Lotus is not possessed by evil."
"It's just that Gu Xinglian was in a hurry to determine the nature of the matter, so everyone did her a favor and didn't expose it."
“···”
Cultivating immortals is never just about fighting and killing, it also involves dealing with human relationships and worldly wisdom.
"cough!"
"You all seem to be having a great time chatting."
"I have some bad news for you."
At this moment, Duanmu returned with his men, holding an "account book" in his hand.
"While you were chatting, I had already led people to raid the treasure house of Mahayana Buddhism."
"It's a pity that a lot of treasures were destroyed in the previous war, and these bald donkeys must have used them to feed the World-Destroying Black Lotus, so they had almost emptied the treasury a long time ago. There really isn't anything good left."
"Well..."
"This Holy Lord will take a look."
He picked up the account book, wet his mouth with saliva, and turned a page.
"After statistics, the total value of the treasures in the Mahayana Buddhist treasury is only 38 million high-quality Yuanshi."
“It’s really a bit unsightly.”
"As for this Holy Lord, I don't want it."
"This Saint Lord also suggested that none of us take them, and instead distribute them to the young monks and ordinary people who were affected by the disaster in the Western Region. How do you think?"
Everyone was stunned.
Thirty-eight million high-grade Yuan stones?
In fact, it is not too little.
But that depends on who you compare it with. For a holy place, the treasure house only has these valuable things? Even if a lot of it was swallowed by the World-Destroying Black Lotus and a lot was destroyed in the previous war, it shouldn't be like this, right?
But Duanmu has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is the Holy Lord of Wuji Palace. He doesn't look like someone who would lie.
So, if that's all...
It would be better to let it go and give it to the people in the Western Regions so that they can rebuild their homes.
At least you can gain a good reputation.
After all, there are only a few Yuanshi, and if everyone shares it, how much will be left? Reputation is not as important.
After all, by comparison, 'territory' is more important...
Just when the seven Saint Lords were ready to accept, Gu Xinglian quietly stood up: "Saint Lord Duanmu~~~"
"That's not right."
Duanmu narrowed his eyes and said, "How is what this Saint Lord said wrong?"
“Think about it!”
Gu Xinglian changed the subject and said indignantly: "The World-Destroying Black Lotus swallowed up the origin of all things in the world!"
"The previous war destroyed this place. Logically, there shouldn't be many treasures left."
"It would even be reasonable if it was completely swallowed up by the World-Destroying Black Lotus."
"But even after such double consumption, Mahayana Buddhism still has such valuable resources and treasures left. It is really heartbreaking!"
"This is just the treasure house of Mahayana Buddhism. What if we add Theravada Buddhism and tens of millions of Buddhist sects and temples? How many more would there be?"
"Before they were devoured by the World-Destroying Black Lotus! Before they were destroyed in this war, how many were there?"
"Just thinking about it makes me feel sad and shocked!!!"
"You might as well think about it. He has never engaged in productive labor, but only knows how to plunder the people's fat. How many people have he harmed and how much power has he plundered to have such wealth?"
"well!"
Gu Xinglian shook her head and said with great sorrow: "In my life, this Holy Mother hates those who do evil and oppress others the most!"
"The Buddhist sect should die and be destroyed!"
"It means that Kong Zhi, the old bald donkey, has already become nothing but ashes. Otherwise, this beast should be killed a hundred times, a hundred times!!!"
Everyone: “…”
Li Canghai was surprised.
Although Gu Xinglian is not a big devil like himself, he can't be said to be compassionate, right?
Why am I so indignant and heartbroken at this moment?
This is wrong!
Just when everyone was waiting for Gu Xinglian to continue, they heard Duanmu cough.
"cough."
He wet his mouth with saliva again and turned to the next page of the account book in his hand: "Oh~~~!"
"I'm sorry, I just made a mistake."
"It's not 38 million high-grade Yuanshi, it should be worth 380 million high-grade Yuanshi."
"ah?!"
“There are so many?!”
Gu Xinglian exclaimed and immediately clenched her white and tender fists until they crackled.
"It's really... it's really outrageous!"
"It's a good thing that Kong Zhi and his gang died early, otherwise I would have used the criminal law of the Civil Empire to punish corrupt officials!"
"What criminal law?" everyone was curious.
The war is over, so it's always okay to chat now.
Besides, she is a saint after all, so you should give her some face and talk to her, right?
"First, dig a hole!"
Gu Xinglian described it vividly, even gesturing with her hands: "Bury the corrupt official's entire body inside, leaving only his dead head exposed."
"Wait, buried alive or dead?" Li Canghai asked curiously.
Gu Xinglian: "..., of course, buried alive."
"Then, make a hole in his head and pour mercury in it!"
"This person will have an itch that is hard to stop!"
Gu Xinglian pointed as she spoke.
It seemed like she was pointing at the account book, but Duanmu felt like she was pointing at himself!
Why do I have an unbearable itchy feeling all over my body?
"So what if it's hard to stop?" he asked with a twitching mouth.
"Of course, the only way to stop it is to find a hole to drill into!"
"I just happened to see a hole on my head, so I scurried out without even leaving my skin behind~!"
After that, Gu Xinglian suddenly asked: "What do you think of this punishment, Lord Duanmu?"
“···”
Duanmu suddenly felt like countless ants were crawling all over his body.
It's itchy!
Although he is not an ordinary person and cannot be afraid of mercury, but people are afraid of scaring themselves.
"Oops, I seem to have seen it wrong again!"
Duanmu turned another page: "I will definitely not be wrong this time."
"The total value of the remaining treasures in the Mahayana Buddhist treasury should be 1.38 billion high-quality Yuan stones."
After saying this, Duanmu shouted, "This is damn Mahayana Buddhism, damn bald donkey!"
"How much of the people's blood and sweat has been taken away!"
"It seems damnable!"
"This Holy Lord will never reconcile with evil!"
He made a strong statement.
But the way people looked at him was somewhat strange and ambiguous.
God damn, you and sin are incompatible.
Just now...
You old man are sin itself!
Who can't react at this moment? Duanmu, this old guy, just wants to take most of it for himself, but he still pretends to be a good guy, saying that the value is not high and he will share it with people all over the world...
Good boy, you want to embezzle money!
I almost believed your lies!
If I really believed you, wouldn't you embezzle most of it?
还好有顾星怜掌控观天镜将一切都看的清清楚楚，否则你这老小子···
迎着众人那种种目光，饶是端木脸皮再厚，也是忍不住老脸一红。
偏偏他还没脸去怪顾星怜偷窥自己。
这是自己鬼迷心窍，而人家，已经够给自己面子了，都没拆穿自己！
只是旁敲侧击提醒自己。
若是人家不给面子，直接直说···
那才更丢脸。
至于此时此刻，只要大家不明说，就能保留最基本的颜面，咳。
“你们这么看着我作甚？！”
端木瞪眼：“莫非你们以为本圣主看上了这点财富不成？我无极殿，缺这点？！”
“咳，那这样行了吧。”
“稍后大家一起搜刮其余佛门，清扫佛门残余势力的同时，顺便清点究竟有多少财物，而后再分为···十一份。”
“我等九家各拿一份，其余势力共分一份，西域受灾民众分剩下一份，如何？”
众圣主点头。
倒是也未曾撕破脸皮，那什么，贪婪之心嘛，人皆有之。
只要没让这老小子得逞，便是问题不大。
至于后续···
哼！
大家都盯着点便是。
甚至，李沧海直接‘真小人’做派一般道：“可以，但我们需要请顾星怜做个见证。”
“有观天镜在，我就不信有谁能中饱私囊、贪污受贿！”
“嗯···”
端木脸庞抽搐：“有道理！”
“那自然是有道理。”李沧海瞥了他一眼，道：“我莫非还会胡说八道不成？”
“···”
端木眼皮狂跳：“你自然是不会。”
一番扯皮，倒是没有后续了。
‘贪婪’自然为人所不耻，但这不是没贪到么？
不过，嘲讽却是少不了滴。
否则下次他还敢~！
“好了，此事就这般定下。”
补天阁主叹道：“此番，我们九大圣地都损失很大，仙武大陆又初逢巨变，事情极多。”
“莫要在此浪费时间与口舌了，还是赶紧做正事吧。”
众人皆点头认可，随即，面色尽皆严肃。
赢，那自然是赢了。
但伤亡却也客观存在，容不得半点质疑。
此番···
的确要好好处理。
“兵分四路吧。”
截天教主沉吟道：“一路扫荡西域，拯救无辜百姓，至于地盘划分···”
“也一并处理。”
“一路前往西域，云顶天宫那边也要处理，若是云顶天宫并未被完全腐蚀，那倒是可以给他们个机会，留个传承也无不可。”
“若是也如同佛门这般，那么···”
他伸手，在脖子下轻轻一划。
众人都点头。
这个安排没毛病，该杀的自然得杀，但若是他们没被‘污染’，倒也可以放他们一条生路。
“李沧海。”
截天教主又看向李沧海，道：“你天魔殿可有意见？”
随即他又道：“你就是有意见我也管不了你。”
“呵。”
李沧海嗤笑：“有意思，想让我天魔殿去当出头鸟，你看我像蠢货么？”
这计谋，简直不要太直白了！
这不就是想让自己不问是否，直接为了利益去将云顶天宫灭了么？
当然，对于自己而言，为了利益灭人宗门，没毛病。
可是···
云顶天宫是普通宗门么？
自己不怕骂名，灭门也没毛病，可一回头，这些家伙必然会盯上自己，让自己分一杯羹。
这事儿，完全是吃力不讨好。
傻子才会去做！
谁爱做谁做，反正自己是不做。
呵。
转念一想，李沧海觉着，云顶天宫和坐忘道还是如同佛门一般，被完全腐蚀了才好。
活着的完全腐蚀了，没被腐蚀的，被腐蚀的杀了~
那么···
大家一起灭了云顶天宫再分好处，那倒是还不错。
至少不会自己出力大家一起吃
对李沧海而言，她追求的‘道’很简单。
拔一毛而利天下，不为也~
只要利益足够，她连自己都可以出卖。
但是有人想从她身上占便宜？
呸！
没门儿！
一根毛的便宜都别想占。
截天教主见忽悠不了李沧海，却也不急，转口便道：“这第三路，自然是去坐忘道，也是务必彻查！”
“至于第四路人手嘛，便是各回各家处理相关事宜，毕竟，此战几乎召集了所有一流、超一流势力，总要给个说法才是。”
“这是自然。”
他们纷纷点头。
“好，便如此兵分四路！”
“该处理什么，诸位心里都有数，而且前三路都是我们的人一同处理，也不用担心有什么问题与隐瞒。”
“若是没有其他事，便就此散了，立刻处理吧。”
“对！”
“散了，散了！”
他们来的快，去的也快。
当然，也留下了不少人处理‘现场’。
看似已经打完，但后续事宜却很多。
譬如这片天地都被打的千疮百孔，天倒是不用管，天道自然会慢慢修复，只是因为破损的太厉害，打的太猛，连道则和秩序神链都被磨灭了，因此需要一些时间。
但这地···
若是放任不管，怕是万年、百万年都依旧是如此。
而且日后会地震等灾难频发。
原本身为洞天福地的大乘佛教所在区域，也相当于完全废了。
这自然是所有人都不愿意看到的。
这可是好地方，修一修还能用啊！
若是直接荒废，岂不是浪费了？
因此···
这便需要不少人手。
从修整土地、清理灭世黑莲跟进残留，到修建灵山。
从布下阵法、到恢复元石矿脉灵性。
再到移植各种灵植过来，恢复‘活性’···
这都需要人，也需要时间。
好在，此地人不少。
圣地来人虽然不多，但还有那么多一流、超一流势力之人呢，不用白不用~
九大圣地吩咐他们点小事，他们岂敢拒绝？
非但不敢拒绝，还要尽心尽力做好，甚至有时候还得自掏一点腰包~
当然，圣地也没那般无耻，且为了颜面，多少会让手下之人赚上一些也就是了。
至于这地方修好、重新恢复洞天福地的灵性之后，归谁所有，如何划分···
那却是要等诸多琐事都处理完之后，再由九大圣地坐下来，慢慢商谈(扯皮)了。
······
“好家伙。”
“这顾星怜真不是穿越者吗？”
“我为何感觉她看过星爷的鹿鼎记？”
通过观天镜将他们扯皮的模样看在眼中，林凡是真想笑。
主要是，星爷的既视感太强了。
“不过话说回来，这波利益···”
“算了算了，让给他们吧。”
“毕竟，我得到的利益也不少。”
“嘿。”
正所谓贼不走空，林凡不是贼，却也不愿意白白出力而没有好处。
至于此番···
好处着实不小。
其一，林凡与丫丫都吞了不少，只要回去将吞下的本源之力尽皆炼化，实力还能大涨一波，这是最直接的好处！
至于资源方面，其实揽月宗并不缺。
甚至在未来挺长一段时间揽月宗都不会缺。
不过，林凡也搞了不少。
大战到一半，小乘佛教全面登场之时，林凡便已经派遣稻草人分身前去‘清空宝库’。
虽然小乘佛教的宝库之内也是空了大半，但剩下的···
也足以让林凡和揽月宗吃的满嘴是油。
最主要的是，还有大量佛门传承！
林凡虽然不喜欢和尚，但是佛门秘术，却也还是不错的，至少有那么一部分，可圈可点！
“加特林老哥。”
“佛门这个雷，太过惊人，我着实是保不住佛门了，也不可能去保佛门。”
“所以···”
“我能做的，便是帮你把佛修这一脉传下去。”
林凡暗自叹息：“小乘佛教这些佛门秘术到我手中，等回去之后，我便将它放入藏经阁内，再想办法在揽月宗开办佛修一脉。”
“如此，也算是佛修一脉不曾在仙武大陆断绝吧。”
“否则，以其他圣地目前的态度来看，佛修···怕是真要绝迹咯。”
“不过还有个小问题。”
“我不喜欢卤蛋头。”
“所以，揽月宗这些佛修···不会剃光头。”
“老哥你好歹穿越者，这一点，还是能理解的吧？”
“嗯···我相信你一定能理解，所以，咱就这么说定了。”
加特林菩萨不在，林凡又是自言自语，自然没有回应。
但是~~~
这能难倒林凡？
“不回应，那我就当你是默认了老哥。”
“就这么定了！”
嗯，没毛病。
······
消息很快传开，林凡还没‘到家’，整个仙武大陆海量修士便已经是被震的口歪眼斜，没有任何一人能够淡定了。
“天啊！”
“竟有此事？！”
“大乘佛教、云顶天宫、坐忘道，还有整个佛门都该死啊！”
“他们已经死了！”
“死的好！他们都是仙武大陆的罪人，若非九大圣地和诸多一流、超一流势力拼命阻拦，岂不是整个仙武大陆都要沦为那灭世黑莲的口粮？”
“佛门···他们怎么敢啊？”
“还什么口口声声我佛慈悲，呵，他们哪里慈悲了？”
“简直是不要脸至极！”
“···”
佛门，都不用一夜之间，直接便成为众矢之的，人人喊打！
出门在外的佛修，哪怕没有被‘腐蚀’，也难免遭人白眼甚至从头到尾彻查，而这一查···
说到底，大家都是修士，谁不知道谁？
除非是刚入门不久的，否则，有谁屁股是绝对干净、经得起彻查的？
你没抢过别人东西？
你没杀过人？
这一查···
自然就是没有活路了。
于是乎，一场浩浩荡荡的灭佛运动，在整个仙武大陆展开。
什么？你说你没有被腐蚀，没有黑化？
不好意思，经我们彻查，你小子不是好人，干过不止一件坏事儿，所以，见佛祖去吧你~
啥，你没干坏事儿？
我不信！只是我们没查出来而已。
见佛祖去吧你~
说起来似乎有些极端，但···杀一万个，还真不定会‘错’一个。
因为从因果关系而言，他们早就欠下旁人不止一条命了。
所以，倒也不算错杀。
只是，说是极端，实则却也没多少了。
佛门本就是‘西域特产’，佛修也很少出西域，因为外地很排斥这些和尚，所以在外地的很少。
至于在西域的和尚···
被腐蚀的，都已经自我献祭或是被杀。
而没有被腐蚀的，甚至都等不到其他人来杀，被腐蚀那些人，早就将他们击杀、喂养灭世黑莲了。
因此，留给其他人杀的和尚，真不多！
不仅如此。
仙武大陆大大小小的势力，被这么一吓，都谨慎了很多。
然后···
他们发现了很多‘不对劲之处’。
譬如某邻居。
原本只是觉得他们有些古怪，但现在一琢磨···我靠，他们该不会也是在酝酿什么灭世危机吧？
不行，不能放任他们继续胡来，得阻止他们啊！
实力不够？那就公开消息，广邀同道一起干他狗日的！
一时间，仙武大陆搞的有乱象频出。
但···
在这乱象之中，还真找出来许多挨千刀的‘狗东西’。
譬如某宗门，表面上看，那是正义无比。
却有人发现，经常有人只进不出。
收徒大典之时，他们也是来者不拒。
可去的人，却是大多再也未曾露过面。
于是乎，有人觉得他们有问题，当他带上人手杀进去一看，好家伙，还正派宗门，简直比魔教还要魔教，其内全是万人坑···
这还并非个例！
虽然他们的操作不同，但都是坏到骨子里了。
在这等乱象之下，倒是还真铲除了不少这等乱象。
······
林凡回到揽月宗，已经是两日半之后。
今日，本该是西南域大开山门之日。
可由于灭世黑莲这样一闹腾，直接便耽搁了，万花圣地也并未敲响仙钟。
再加上民间人心惶惶，一时间，倒是所有宗门都暂且将此事抛在了脑后。
而见到林凡归来。
一直忐忑无比的苟剩范坚强，总算长出一口气：“哎哟喂，师尊您可算是回来了，这些日子，可真是苦了弟子我呀。”
林凡：“···”
“是是是，那可真是苦了你了。”
“来，这是此番收获，你拿去藏经阁放好，静待有缘人。”
林凡将佛门秘术交给苟剩，后者顿时双目放光。
“这些东西不错。”
“那什么，我就先走了哈师尊。”
范坚强溜了。
众长老却是在接到消息之后第一时间前来汇报情况与询问该如何处理。
毕竟···
最近事情真的很多！
被灭世黑莲这样一搞，仙武大陆太乱了。
揽月宗也多少被波及到，有很多事情需要处理、需要人来决策。
林凡耗费小半日，总算是将这些消息处理完毕。
芙宁娜第一时间凑上来，替林凡轻揉太阳穴，并柔声道：“主人您累了吧？我替您按按。”
随即，胸膛悄然往前倾，贴在林凡后脑。
她俏脸微微发红。
林凡轻叹：“你别说，还真有些累。”
处理事情本就比较让人烦闷与疲惫。
之前与灭世黑莲一战，自己虽然只是个辅助，但要考虑的事情却是比所有人都多！没放松下来之时还没察觉，此刻一放松，却是感觉自己连脚指头都不想动了。
“舒服。”
感受着芙宁娜柔软的小手，林凡道：“蒂安娜呢？”
“她啊？此番前去，血海成长太快，她说自己境界和血海不灭体都有些不稳，在闭关呢。”
“连主人都不顾了，天生邪恶的黑暗圣女果然不是好东西。”
“一点都不像人家，眼里、心里都只有主人您。”
林凡：“···”
好家伙。
这芙宁娜跟谁学的茶艺啊这是？
整挺6啊！
“修行重要。”
林凡叹道：“虽然我不曾这催促过你们，但你心里也要有数才是。”
“既然你们想常伴我左右，那就必须要有足够的实力。”
“否则，一段岁月之后，我依旧如此，而你们却是化作一抹黄土···”
“岂不令人惋惜与伤感？”
芙宁娜面色一变：“主人教训的是，我记住了，之后一定···”
“你也无需太过紧张，我就是随口一提。”林凡轻轻摆手：“那什么，我还真有些累，先睡一觉。”
“您先休息吧主人，我再替您按按，做个您说的那个叫什么来着，马杀鸡？”
“···”
“好。”
一夜无话。
翌日，清晨。
炼丹阁内。
被封印修为的林动站在萧灵儿门前，一动不动。
路过的揽月宗弟子对他指指点点，他也是罔若未闻。
终于，房门打开。
林动顿时上前一步，道：“萧灵儿，你到底要封印我到什么时候？”
“嘿？”
出来的人却是火云儿，她哼道：“你这人好生不懂礼节，灵儿他们救你回来，还给你丹药助你疗伤。”
“你这伤才刚刚痊愈，便如此这般咄咄逼人，依我看，倒不如不救你！”
“至于解开你的封印？”
“就你这态度，谁敢解开你封印？”
林动老脸一红。
这···
还真是自己做的有些欠妥。
被打晕之前，他是真的无比抗拒，且不认为萧灵儿他们会帮自己疗伤，要镇压、捉拿自己，必然是别有所图。
图谋什么？
那大概率是云顶天宫传承和秘宝！
毕竟自己是云顶天宫圣子，必然知晓诸多隐秘，只要能拿下自己就能慢慢想办法逼迫自己就范！
没毛病吧？
可却没想到，他被带回来后，虽然被封印了修为，且限制人身自由，但除此之外，却没有任何不妥。
没人逼迫、折磨他。
反而还给他丹药帮他疗伤。
其他方面，也是安排的面面俱到。
除被封印修为和限制自由之外，真就是堪称完美的待客之道。
自己如此···
“抱歉。”
林动也是拿得起放得下之人，他当即拱手道歉，并道：“是我有些着急了。”
“但我与云顶天宫都初逢大变，如今情况更是不明，且我···唉。”
“总之，如今，我不相信任何人。”
“若是萧灵儿道友你真对我没什么坏心思，那我林动自然承你这个人情，还请放我离去，我林动在此发誓，日后就是赌上性命，也会还你这个人情。”
“若是你有所图，也还请划下道来。”
“若是我能满足你，自当满足，若是无法满足，要杀要剐，咱们也果断一些，莫要浪费时间才好。”
火云儿皱眉：“你这人。”
“怎滴跟石头一样又臭又硬？”
“好了。”
萧灵儿笑道：“云儿，你莫要动怒。”
“他初逢大变，还被自己最敬重的师尊背叛几乎身死，你且想想，若是换做你我，岂能给人好脸色？”
“那必然是不能了。”火云儿脸色好看了些，却又道：“不对，师尊才不可能背叛咱们。”
“那是自然，咱们的师尊，与众不同。”
“不同么？”
林动摇头一笑：“曾几何时，我也如你们这般认为。”
“看现实，却是给我开了一个天大的玩笑。”
“我说不同，就是不同！”火云儿强调。
林动不再纠结这个话题，看向萧灵儿：“道友，还请给个准信。”
“本想让你在揽月宗待上一些时日，顺便带你领略我宗风土人情，却没想到你如此急迫。”萧灵儿轻叹：“也罢。”
“既然你话都说到这个份儿上了，若是我再拖延，倒显得的确是我们的不是了。”
“其实，我之所以要将你带回来，原因有二。”
“一、你我也算不打不相识，我想交你这个朋友，而当时说什么你都不信，无奈之下，出此下策。”
“···，我姑且相信。”
林动点头，直说自己只敢信一半。
正所谓一朝被蛇咬十年怕井绳，何况，他还是被自己最亲近的人之一背叛。
“至于这第二嘛。”
萧灵儿微微一笑：“说来惭愧，我们揽月宗还是三流宗门，急需发展。”
“而发展，便离不开人才。”
“你林动，是个人才，武道天赋绝佳，所以，我想你加入我们揽月宗，以你的实力和天赋，只要你一心为宗门，可为武道一脉大师兄！”
“当然，你初逢大变，对这些很是抗拒，可以理解。”
"But I still hope you can think carefully about it, at least... spend some time with us in Lanyue and get to know each other better before making a decision."
“···”
Lin Dong frowned: “I see.”
"But I have my master's inheritance, Yunding Palace... Although my master treated me like that, Yunding Palace is still very good. I want to go back!"
Lin Dong has been thinking a lot these days.
He thought about leaving Yunding Palace and establishing his own power.
I've thought about other things too.
In the end, he decided to go back!
Go back and inherit the Yunding Palace as the Son of God!
If it is possible, then he can run Yunding Palace into a force that belongs to him alone. Isn't this the best 'starting point'?
And if you can really do it, you don't have to worry about those messy things.
"Genting Palace..."
Xiao Ling'er was a little surprised by Lin Dong's answer: "Your master treats you like that, yet you still want to go back?"
"From the moment he attacked me, he could only represent himself, not the entire Yunding Palace. But I don't believe that the entire Yunding Palace has been 'corrupted'!"
"You can't go back."
Huo Yun'er was somewhat dissatisfied and told Lin Dong a cruel fact: "Not all the cultivators in Yunding Palace have been corrupted. In fact, the younger generation has not been corrupted and are still 'normal people'."
“But it’s a pity.”
"When the World-Destroying Black Lotus appeared, the old guys who stayed in Yunding Palace attacked immediately and slaughtered all the young people. Then they sacrificed themselves."
"In other words..."
"Yunding Palace, oh, and there should be a Zuowang Dao, but now, there is no one there."
"Because we activated the wartime state earlier and recalled all the disciples, so...if nothing unexpected happens, you will be the only one left in Yunding Palace."
"But the prerequisite is that you admit that you are from Yunding Palace."
"Perhaps you would like to return to inherit the estate?"
"But you should also be able to imagine what will be left when you return."
"The Cloud Top Palace has become history."
"The same is true for the Zuowang Dao. However, based on the characteristics of the Zuowang Dao, perhaps some of them are still alive in the world, but they certainly cannot be many."
"So you want to go back, that's just wishful thinking."
Lin Dong's expression changed instantly: "You..."
"Is what you said true?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
Huo Yun'er spread her hands and said, "Besides, this matter has been widely spread and everyone knows about it. You can just ask anyone you want."
"Besides, think about it, if Yunding Palace was still there, how could we have kidnapped you?"
"After being kidnapped, wouldn't Yunding Palace come to ask for the person?"
"!!!"
Lin Dong’s expression changed again and again.
Xiao Ling'er sighed, "My condolences."
"But all good things must come to an end, and you can't go back to Yunding Palace."
"Listen to me, and stay in our Lanyue Sect for a while. I won't force you to stay in Lanyue Sect, but at least, please face it with a normal mind and make a decision after understanding Lanyue Sect."
"And if you are willing to stay and still have feelings for Yunding Palace, I am confident that I can convince Master to let you create and take charge of the Yunding lineage."
"It can be regarded as a legacy left for Yunding Palace."
Lin Dong remained silent.
At this moment, he was in a state of confusion.
For a moment, I was at a loss as to what to do.
"If I don't agree, will you remove the seal in my body?"
"Won't."
“···”
Lin Dong stared at Xiao Ling'er and said almost word by word: "Okay, I agree."
Do I have a choice? (End of this chapter)
