Chapter 66: Hua Jing Yuanjun’s career is based on wisdom…
Bai Ze, who is known for his wisdom, really doesn't know that the downfall of the two races of wizards and liches is their own fault?
The leaders of the two tribes had all experienced the first catastrophe of Longhan. At that time, they were still weak and had to hide in hiding.
They had also watched helplessly as the dragon, phoenix and unicorn tribes turned the ancient world upside down, causing resentment among all the tribes in heaven and earth and completely draining their own luck.
But when they came to power, they did not learn from the lessons of their predecessors.
No, perhaps at first, the two demon emperors and the twelve witch ancestors still remembered their lesson. However, as their power expanded and countless other races submitted, they gradually lost their original intention and attributed the failures of the dragon, phoenix, and qilin tribes to their own lack of strength.
They all felt that they were strong enough and no longer wanted to look down at the struggles of those ants.
So, they soberly and arrogantly repeated everything the three tribes had done before. The upper echelons became increasingly overbearing, endlessly squeezing the living space of the lower echelons. They treated all beings outside of their own tribe with disregard, treating them as mere ants to be trampled upon at will.
Until the end, the fate of the three tribes was replicated.
Bai Ze is the demon clan's wisest and the chief military advisor to Emperor Jun and Tai Yi. Even the demon master Kun Peng would have to retreat a bit on this point.
Many of the demon tribe's policies and guidelines were suggested and formulated by him. Admitting that the demon tribe's failure was due to its own policy mistakes, isn't that simply admitting his own incompetence?
If the two demon clan leaders, Di Jun and Tai Yi, hid and withdrew to protect themselves during the heyday of the three clans, then Kong Xuan, the prince of the Phoenix clan, also hid from place to place during the heyday of the Lich and Wu clans, wasn't he?
That is to say, Kong Xuan was driven out of the Immortal Volcano shortly after he was hatched. As a bird stumbled and grew up, he experienced a lot and became calmer.
If it were during the hundreds of years when he was most resentful, his evaluation of Bai Ze would definitely not be such a calm and pertinent two sentences.
Fu Li told him: "Bai Ze, his daughter, and a group of demons with high cultivation levels are living in seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain in Shuzhong.
The powerful monsters under his command were bound to cause trouble in the water. If he wanted to completely eradicate the flood in Shu, he would have to confront the forces of Qingcheng Mountain.
Junior Brother, do you think that Rain Master Ji Meng is willing to break up with the Demon Court Sage?
After all, they are both Great Saints of the Demon Court, so I'm afraid these two have a close relationship.
Kong Xuan said: "There's no need to tear each other apart. Their relationship was never good to begin with."
Fu Li: Oh, so we are such close friends.
She pressed, "How do you say that?"
Kong Xuan said, "Ji Meng is a down-to-earth person who likes to take things one step at a time. Bai Ze is the counselor of the Demon Court, and all his plans are based on the overall interests of the Demon Court.
I think Senior Sister also understands that often, in order to maintain the interests of the whole, it is inevitable to sacrifice the interests of the individual. And the floods that nominally belong to the Wu Clan's territory are often the objects of Bai Ze's schemes."
Fu Li nodded to show that she understood.
——Those who are dedicated to engineering work are most annoyed by the changing policies.
We had originally agreed on the amount of labor and funds to be provided, but then the deadline came... or even worse, halfway through the project, the resources that were about to be allocated or had already been allocated were suddenly withdrawn, which would have been devastating for anyone.
"Then I'll trouble you, Junior Brother, to come forward and invite Ji Meng to Emei to discuss the plan."
In response to this, Kong Xuan had no other choice but to pick up the nectar on the table, drink it all, then stand up and say goodbye.
"Within three days, I will bring Ji Meng back to visit my senior brothers and sisters."
Fu Li's eyes lit up: This new junior fellow is so efficient!
"Hey, what do you think is the probability of keeping him for a long time?" She poked Lingzhuzi's arm, but her eyes were still following Kong Xuan's back.
Ling Zhuzi crossed his arms and sneered, "Why, are you attracted to him?"
"Yes, I do like his decisiveness." Fu Li nodded, "But I don't know if his efficiency is worthy of this decisiveness."
If you are strong in action but weak in means, and mess up everything you do, it is better to do things slowly but get the job done.
Ling Zhuzi said unhappily, "Don't worry. A steady man like him wouldn't say anything so final unless he was more than 80% sure."
Since he said that he could bring Ji Meng here within three days, he would definitely keep his word.
"That's better." Fu Li finally withdrew her gaze and said to Ling Zhuzi, "Forget it, let's ignore him for now. Let's clean up the reception desk first."
It’s okay for Kong Xuan, he was an uninvited guest, and years of suffering have given him extremely high psychological quality, so he doesn’t care about those trivial matters at all.
But most of those fellow disciples who were unwilling to seek help from Zhao Gongming were those who "would not accept food given out of pity."
The self-esteem of this type of people is often fragile. They were originally doing good things in Mount Emei, and in the end they earned a lot of spirit stones, but instead of winning people's hearts, they attracted a lot of hatred.
Lingzhuzi was still unhappy because she often praised Kong Xuan. Hearing this, he glanced at her and didn't say a word to her. He just asked her with his eyes: How do you want to arrange it?
How to arrange it?
Fu Li thought it would be better not to worry about how to arrange it for now, the most important thing was to coax people.
"Lingzhuzi." She called out, her tone serious, a rare occurrence between the two of them.
Lingzhuzi couldn't help but straighten his expression and prepared to express his dissatisfaction after the main business was finished.
Fu Li said, "My admiration for Kong Xuan is purely an admiration for talent. There are many people I admire, but you are the only one I truly like."
As soon as these words came out, Fu Li felt something strangely familiar.
After Ling Zhuzi's lips curled up in an instant, she suddenly realized: Oh my, isn't this the same quote from scumbag men I've seen in movies, TV, and on the internet in my past life? Why can I say this so easily and smoothly?
For a moment, she began to doubt her life.
Next, while the two of them were decorating the three rooms, Lingzhuzi was happy and sweet, but Fuli was in a daze.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for her to figure it out: Although I unintentionally said the same things as the scumbag, what I said was sincere.
Thinking of this, she no longer felt guilty. After setting up the reception desk, she dragged Ling Zhuzi along to find her master for a meal.
=====
Hua Jing had anticipated their arrival and had prepared their favorite meals and spiritual fruits early in the morning.
These spiritual fruits were all fruit seedlings that she asked the demon tribe to collect, and she planted and grafted them herself. Although the spiritual energy content was lower, the taste was better and the growing period was shorter, making them very suitable for large-scale planting as a stable source of supply.
It was Su Rong who greeted them outside the door. She was very happy to see Fu Li, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She pulled her in and asked her about her experiences in the past few years. She was also worried that she was not having a good time outside, and she always felt that she had lost weight.
Fu Li felt helpless and warm at the same time. She responded to every word she said and kept talking about Ling Zhuzi, especially emphasizing the outstanding contribution Ling Zhuzi had made to her "living a good life".
Su Rong, Su Heng and the other three watched Fu Li grow up. When facing Ling Zhuzi, they always have a subtle psychological state like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
As a mother-in-law, she will naturally treat her daughter's chosen son-in-law well, so that he will treat her daughter better.
But because of this, the mother-in-law is often afraid that her son-in-law is not treating her daughter well enough when she is not around.
Fu Li has been very opinionated since she was young. Ling Zhuzi got her personal approval, which was more effective than him showing it in front of Hua Jing Yuanjun for a hundred years.
At this moment, he clearly felt that although Su Rong's attitude towards him seemed to have not changed before and after Fu Li praised him, the degree of their sincerity was completely different.
He couldn't help but look at Fu Li. She was clearly a person with a fiery temperament, but her starry eyes were like rippling water, emitting a unique soft light.
Although he already knew that Fu Li always kept him in her heart, this real and intuitive feeling still made his heart surge, and he only hated that there were too many people around him.
Following Su Rong into the house, I saw that in addition to Hua Jing Yuanjun, there was also Tongtian Jiaozhu, who used the alias "Yuwei Zhenren", sitting in front of the stone table.
The two looked at each other in surprise, and when they saw Tongtian Sect Master looking at them with a smile, they quickly restrained their expressions and bowed.
Fu Li: "Disciple greets Master, and greets Master Yuwei."
Ling Zhuzi: "Junior pays homage to Yuan Jun and greets Yu Wei Zhenren."
Hua Jing said gently, "Good children, get up. The Immortal and I are neighbors, and he has taught us a lot about cultivation. I am not a master, but I am a decent cook, so I occasionally invite the Immortal to eat with me."
Tongtian Patriarch said, "It's more than just impressive. You're too modest. I've lived for so many years and have eaten countless delicacies from land and sea. Your cooking skills are already outstanding."
He always says what he thinks. Although he is very clear-minded and has a thorough understanding of everything in the world, he disdains to hide things and does not like to argue with others.
Preaching was his hobby. He only wanted his listeners to cultivate well and didn't need anyone to thank him. The reason he readily came to Hua Jing Yuan Jun's place to eat was because his cooking skills were so good.
Yuanjun immediately beamed, pulling Fuli aside and proudly saying, "My cooking skills weren't particularly outstanding to begin with. It was thanks to my disciple's inquisitive nature that he helped me find many spices I'd never seen before. I simply mastered the heat and the amount of spices I used."
In Fuli's previous life, the variety of seasonings was extremely rich, but now it is the Shang Dynasty, and not only is the variety of food scarce, but the seasonings are also scarce.
But in the mythical world, it was actually quite easy to get anything you wanted. Although most of them were primitive species, primitive species had their own flavor, and some were even more mellow.
She simply collected a lot of seeds and gave them to Hua Jing. Yuanjun cherished every gift given by her disciple, personally cleared the land, and carefully planted the seeds.
The climate in Shu is warm and humid, suitable for the growth of many plants. Burying these seeds here is like returning to their happy hometown. Some even grow better than in their place of origin.
At present, the quantity is small. Apart from the ones used by himself, Yuanjun will occasionally give them away as precious gifts.
Anyone who received it would dislike it.
