Hidden moth

Chapter 257: All the chickens and dogs in the fairyland are lucky

Even if Zhang Jingui wanted to return to the sect, Xingshen Sect would have to verify everything he said. Although Li Xiuyuan didn't find out he was lying through his secret observation, the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

Whether Zhang Jingui is Zhou Yuandan's disciple and the direct descendant of Jianji Palace is not something that can be determined by what he says. It cannot be false. The sect has its own set of verification methods.

On the other hand, no matter who his successor is, as long as he breaks through the fourth level of cultivation, he can theoretically find the sect's cave and request to return to the sect and receive a second inheritance.

What the sect has to do is to examine their past behavior. If they have committed any crimes, they will be punished accordingly.

If there is nothing wrong with the person's past behavior, according to the rules set by the ancestors, the sect will not prevent him from returning voluntarily, and will then hold a second inheritance ceremony for him.

High-level monks are already core members of the sect, and they only need to abide by the sect rules after returning.

But Zhang Jingui's situation is rather special, and the matters involved are very complicated. He has not yet found Fengyu Cave Heaven, but at the instruction of Elder Li, the investigation and assessment of him has already begun.

In layman's terms, the Clan Clan Hall instructed the Xingshen Sect to set up a "special task force" to investigate Zhang Jingui's experience and the relevant information he provided.

The identity of the moderator and the organization behind him are also the focus of the investigation, which requires Zhang Jingui's cooperation.

Zhang Jingui mentioned the matter of Elder Mei, which is indisputable evidence of a leak. We must also follow this line of investigation and try to find the senior members of the sect who leaked the information.

It is estimated that Elder Li will be busy for a while. Although not everything needs to be done by him personally, the group of backbone members of the sect that he specially mobilized will probably have to work overtime during the New Year period.

He Kao originally thought that if he wanted another chance to consult privately, he would have to wait until after the New Year. Unexpectedly, the next morning, on his way to work, before his car even crossed the river bridge, he was stopped by Li Xiuyuan on the side of the road.

He quickly stopped the car and asked Elder Li to get in, wondering, "Why are you here?"

Li Xiuyuan: "I came here specifically to see you. Did you bring your ID?"

He Kao: "I have it! What do you want to do? Isn't it inconvenient to use your ID card?"

Li Xiuyuan's words and actions were very casual, and his daily dress was very trendy and stylish, so He Kao was also very relaxed. If he were in front of Jiang Daozhen or Gu Chun, he would never dare to joke like this.

Li Xiuyuan slapped him on the back of the head, neither too hard nor too light. "Drive to the airport and accompany me to Luzhou. We can take the early flight there and still be able to catch the evening flight back."

He Kao: "Teacher Li, I have to go to work today. Our company won't let us have a holiday until the day after tomorrow."

The day after tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. According to the statutory holidays promulgated by the Eastern country in recent years, New Year's Eve is also a working day. In theory, there is no holiday, but in reality, many people in many units have already left.

Li Xiuyuan: "I've been keeping an eye on your company these past few days. Don't you know what's going on? Those in your department who travel far could have asked for leave to go back to their hometown yesterday... Just give the money and call Gu Ran now. I don't believe he won't approve the leave."

He Kao didn't waste any words. After crossing the bridge, he headed straight for the airport. He asked curiously, "Why did you think of going to Luzhou today?"

Li Xiuyuan: "Guess!"

He Kaolue immediately changed his mind and replied, "Go find Chang Anju?"

Li Xiuyuan: "You're quite clever. You were the one who set them up in the first place."

The last time he met Chang Anju in Sawa Country, He Kao told him that the Shumen was implementing an information management system and provided the contact information of the Information Office of the Clan Hall.

After listening to Li Xiuyuan's introduction, He Kao realized that Chang Anju had contacted the Information Office, submitted the registration information required by the Shumen, and formally applied to join the Shumen as a casual cultivator.

In fact, such things are rare in history, and the practitioners may not necessarily accept them.

If Chang Anju had already broken through to the fourth level and had responded to the call of the cave heaven, he would have to follow the procedures. This was because these were the rules set by the ancestors and were also the common rules of all major sects, and they had to be followed.

But what if a low-level cultivator of unknown origin, or even a Zhiyuanke, suddenly appears and claims to have inherited the magic skills and wants to join the sect and become a formal disciple?

The attitude of the art school towards this in history has been very cautious.

Normally, a master would have to go through various tests and inspections before accepting an apprentice. How could one just accept someone? As for the assessment and investigation, to truly understand a person's past behavior requires dedicated personnel, energy, connections, and resources.

In the past few years, especially in ancient times, this was not easy and everyone was too busy.

Unless his inheritance background is clear and he can be introduced by a formal disciple, like Wu Yanjun's case; or he has outstanding qualifications and is noticed by a senior elder.

Otherwise, since ancient times, in response to this situation, the martial arts school might advise them to break through to a higher level before coming back.

Although the sect uses sect rules to constrain the behavior of disciples, on the other hand, as long as the disciple is formally accepted into the sect, he or she has the obligation to pass on the teachings.

These obligations include, but are not limited to, providing a complete inheritance of magic, introductions to the latest magic systems, teaching various applied magic techniques, exchanges of cultivation experiences and resources, and trading channels...

These things can be translated into two words: Fate and Dharma! This is the Fate and Dharma that is unique to the sect.

The cost of training a successor is not small, and the cost of trial and error is very high. Fate and Dharma cannot be given to others easily, let alone a successor who is not personally selected and trained?

Chang Anju was a low-level, independent cultivator of unknown origin. He had somehow obtained the contact information for the Zongfa Hall Information Office and proactively submitted his personal information and application to join the sect. After clarifying the entire matter, He Kao asked, "You don't need to go there in person. Is there no one else in the Xingshen Sect?"

Li Xiuyuan: "Zhang Jingui came to our door yesterday, and the people responsible for verifying and investigating have been sent out, and another group is responsible for investigating the moderator.

The New Year is coming soon. If you can take a leave of absence from work, I can't let you be too busy, so I'd better go in person. Besides, I also want to see this person with my own eyes... As for you, of course you should come with me."

There was a brief divine thought in his words—

Although such things were not common in the past, to be honest, with the development and changes of the times, and as the art school establishes its modern information management system, they may become more and more common in the future.

The current case of Chang Anju happens to be the first one that has just occurred after the "Reform of the Shumen Management System". It must be handled clearly and strive to become a model that can be used as a reference for handling similar incidents in the future.

Therefore, Elder Li attached great importance to it and planned to go and see it in person, and brought He Kao with him.

He Kao: "You went to Luzhou. Who is in charge of Qiyuan? Did the Zongfa Hall send any other experts?"

Li Xiuyuan: "Don't you know?"

He Kao: "What do I know?"

Li Xiuyuan curled his lips and shook his head, saying, "You really don't care about your colleagues!

Mei Guyu's department distributed their year-end bonuses yesterday, and they've been off to work today. She also went back to her hometown for the New Year three days early, and took a flight last night. You were having dinner with Zhang Jingui at that time."

He Kao: "We've only been working for a few days? It's unnecessary to report in before the New Year!"

Li Xiuyuan chuckled: "That's different. She also received a year-end bonus. Although it's not as much as you guys, it's still something."

He Kao said angrily, "That's called holiday pay. Every employee, including those on probation, gets it! Year-end bonuses are out of the question. No matter how shameless Old Qian is, he can't openly violate the financial regulations."

Li Xiuyuan: "No matter what she's called, she just got a year-end bonus, some New Year's gifts from your company, and half a month's salary... Who told you to say she's a relative of Mr. Qian's?

Even asking for three days' leave was persuaded by Qian. Qian told her that since she was just coming to work, she should behave like her colleagues, and many people in their department had already left their jobs..."

He Kao didn't want to comment on Mr. Qian's meticulous care for his employees. He had several questions he wanted to ask Elder Li, and he had already prepared them many times in his mind. Now was the perfect opportunity.

He Kao: "You could have just told Zhang Jingui what he asked me yesterday. Why did you use me to tell him?"

Li Xiuyuan: "I want to watch from the side for a while, not only to see what he does, but also to see how you deal with this kind of situation.

Don't forget that you are also the head of the Yin'e Sect. What if Lan Jiuwan, Ye Liangcheng, and others come to you for advice? In the future, you will encounter more such situations, that is, as a preacher, a teacher, and a questioner.

It's not that you're a teacher; someone has to do this, and you're in that position. When you faced Zhang Jingui yesterday, you were learning how to deal with more people like him tomorrow.

You already have a high-level cultivation base, and in the Yin E Sect today, no one has a higher cultivation base than you, so you must not only be a cultivator, but also a protector.

In fact, many times, even if there is no answer to a question, you still have to provide your own guidance so that the other party can maintain clear thinking and keen awareness... You did a great job yesterday!"

He Kao: "That's because of your guidance. If you hadn't been there yesterday, I would have been completely confused... By the way, what do you think about Senior Brother Zhang's question later, which is why there are no demons or monsters in the world?"

Li Xiuyuan laughed: "I don't really look at it! If there's nothing, then there's nothing. Before we discover anything, we can remain skeptical. Do we really have to believe that there are demons and monsters in the world?"

He Kao coughed lightly twice and said, "The alchemy inheritance you gave me last time included two recipes, the Spirit Awakening Pill and the Transformation Pill... What's going on with that?"

Li Xiuyuan's smile inexplicably became a little strange: "Just like the Shumen Cave Heaven, they are all left by the ancestors. After the civil strife in the Shumen a thousand years ago, many records in the classics were lost, but the alchemy method is still there, including these two recipes.

No one knows what is going on. I asked several supreme elders about it back then, and this is the answer they gave me.

I passed on the alchemy inheritance to you in the hope that one day you would discover this question and be able to solve it in the future, but you came to ask me again."

He Kao: "If I don't ask you for advice, who else can I ask? Has anyone successfully refined these two elixirs? Has anyone tested their specific effects?"

Li Xiuyuan pulled out a bottle and a gourd from his arms. "After hearing what Zhang Jingui asked you yesterday, I knew you would come to ask me. I've already prepared it. Today, I'll give you a bottle of Qiling Pill and a gourd of Huaxing Pill.

I have plenty of Spirit Awakening Pills. If you don't have enough, ask me for more. As for the Transformation Pills, they are too precious and difficult to make. We don't have many in stock, so I can only give you this one gourd. Please use it sparingly."

Why would Elder Li bring him these two kinds of elixirs?

In fact, since ancient times, although the monster has not been found, the elixir formula is ready-made. How could the magic sect not try it? Many masters who are proficient in alchemy in the past dynasties have refined these two kinds of elixirs.

Not to mention the birds and beasts in the mountains, all the cats, dogs, pigs, horses, cows and sheep in Fengwei Township have eaten the Qiling Pill!
If one pill is not enough, two will be fed. There are also high-level monks who cast special spells to help them absorb the spiritual effects of the pill. Ordinary low-level disciples do not have this treatment.

As for the effect, you know what, cats and dogs do seem to have become smarter and more clever, but they are still cats and dogs... As for the legendary demon cultivators, not a single one has been cultivated!
