Chapter 1737
It was late at night, but the mountain peak was still brightly lit. There were a few sheets of paper on the table and an exquisite box placed casually beside it.
Dong Xianzhi sat on a chair and looked at the contents of the paper in his hand. No one knew what he was thinking.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew open the half-closed window and a crow with shiny black feathers appeared on the table.
Dong Xianzhi's eyes narrowed. He quickly stood up and said politely to the crow, "What brings you here, Daoist Yan?"
The space between the crow's eyebrows wriggled, and then, a strange third eye appeared. It was a blood-red pupil.
At the same time, it let out an old and dissatisfied voice as if it was speaking from its abdomen.
"Daoist Dong, you're not being honest. That old man hasn't done anything for the past ten years and now he's recruited a new disciple to the Sacred Island. Why didn't you tell me about such a big commotion? You even made me come here personally! "
Dong Xianzhi could hear the dissatisfaction in the crow's voice and could not help but smile bitterly. "Daoist Yan, you're being too serious. The current situation is unclear and I was thinking of reporting it to you after learning more about it."
"Hmph, no matter how big or small the old man's situation is, I should report it at the first possible moment to avoid overlooking anything. Forget it, let's talk about the current situation. What's the background of that Yuan Jie? Is there a problem with his identity? "The three-eyed crow asked about serious matters.
"Please take a look, Daoist Yan." Dong Xianzhi immediately handed over the paper in his hand.
"What's this?"
"It's about Yuan Jie's background investigation."
The Three-Eyed Crow didn't take the paper. It only took a glance at it to understand the contents of the paper.
In fact, there was not much on the paper. There were only a few lines.
"Someone from the Tang Clan? The Tang Clan of the Water Dance Army? "The three-eyed crow said.
"That's right. Yuan Jie came with the young master of the Tang Clan, Tang Jianqing. The Tang Clan holds the military power of the Great Nation, so they are naturally strict with the background investigation of the people around them. There shouldn't be any problem with Yuan Jie's identity if he's with Tang Jianqing," Dong Xianzhi said.
The three-eyed crow frowned and its eyes flickered. "So the old man invited him to the Sacred Island purely because of his love for talent?"
"That's the only explanation. After all, this young man's talent is indeed shocking. He actually triggered a change in his Life Lake." Dong Xianzhi sighed.
"Since his Life Lake is showing signs because of him, do you think it's possible for him to obtain the Great Prophecy Technique?" The Three-Eyed Crow guessed.
Dong Xianzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. He explained, "Fellow Yan, you think too highly of him. Triggering a change in his Life Lake only means that he has the talent to cultivate my Luo Sect's Dao technique. Other than that, it doesn't mean anything else. Ten years ago, Lord Gu personally came to the Luo Sect. Even someone as resourceful as Lord Gu couldn't obtain the Great Prophecy Technique, let alone a new disciple like him. "
Hearing this, the Three-Eyed Crow realized that its words were somewhat ignorant. It said with slight anger, "Humph, you also know that ten years have passed. Ten years ago, I was left behind to monitor that old bastard. These ten years of boring days were not pleasant!"
Dong Xianzhi remained silent. He knew that this person was complaining.
Ten years ago, Lord Gu didn't get what he wanted in the Luo Gate, so he sent someone to keep an eye on him. It was also at that time that Lord Gu chose to rely on him.
Logically speaking, this was considered a betrayal of the sect, but he didn't think so.
The Luo Sect was declining day by day. It should have found another way out long ago. Now that Lord Gu was at the peak of his power in the Plain Heaven Dao Court, the Luo Sect would definitely rise again if Lord Gu followed him.
However, the Great Prophet was old and muddled. He didn't understand this logic. Ten years ago, he didn't grasp such a great opportunity.
Since the Great Prophet wasn't willing to follow him, he could only maintain this relationship in private.
As long as he followed Lord Gu and became rich, he naturally wouldn't forget his roots. He would also make the Luo Sect live a better life.
"Fellow Dong, if you really want to join us, you'd better put in more effort in this matter. The sooner you find the whereabouts of the Great Prophecy Technique, the sooner I can leave this place. You'll also be able to put in a good word for you in front of Lord Gu and Lord Sang, "the Three-Eyed Crow reminded him.
"Of course I'll do my best, but I'm afraid this matter requires luck."
Dong Xianzhi smiled bitterly. Lord Gu was sure that the complete Great Prophecy Technique still existed in the Luo Sect. However, everyone in the Luo Sect knew that the Great Prophecy Technique had been lost a long time ago.
After all, only the first ancestor had successfully cultivated the Great Prophecy Technique throughout the years. Later on, no Great Prophet had succeeded in cultivating it. As it was passed down from generation to generation, the essence of the Dao technique had naturally been continuously lost.
Today, the Pei Dynasty had become the Pei Kingdom, and the Luo Sect was content with its corner. The Great Prophecy Technique had already become a legend!
If the complete Great Prophecy Technique could still be found in the Luo Sect, all the major powers in the Dao World would have come one after another. How could they wait for Lord Gu to come and retrieve it?
However, Lord Gu was extremely confident. He firmly believed that the Great Prophecy Technique could still be found in the Luo Sect. Over the past ten years, there had been a huge commotion.
Because of that commotion, many elite disciples of the Luo Sect had died!
Although Dong Xianzhi had defected to the Great Prophet and didn't dare to question the Great Prophet, he had always been doubtful about whether he could find the Great Prophecy Technique in the sect.
"Humph! Where there is a will, there is a will."
As the Three-Eyed Crow persuaded him, it glanced at the other papers and the treasure box on the table.
"Chen Yi, who is this?" It glanced at the contents of the papers.
"This is my new disciple. He's also a member of the Tang Family. I heard that he's a consecrator of the Tang Family."
Dong Xianzhi answered truthfully. The other papers also contained the background checks of Tang Jianqing and Shao Heyang.
"Oh? Does this mean that this disciple is in cahoots with Yuan Jie? "The Three-Eyed Crow's eyes flickered.
"That's right." Dong Xianzhi nodded. In fact, he had only found out after reading the background checks. He hadn't known about it during the day.
The inner sect assessment list only recorded each disciple's results. He had chosen Chen Yi based on his results, so how could he have known that he was related to Yuan Jie?
He had only found out about this after the deacon of the sect had sent him the background checks of Chen Yi and Shao Heyang.
Since he had accepted these two people, he naturally had to investigate their backgrounds. This was the sect's rule.
As for Yuan Jie's information, he had been paying special attention to it.
Before the Three-Eyed Crow had arrived, he had been slightly concerned about the relationship between Chen Yi and Yuan Jie. He had been combing through the information of the three members of the Tang Family.
"Since this person is related to Yuan Jie and has become your disciple, let's pry open his mouth and interrogate him," the Three-Eyed Crow suggested calmly.
"Daoist Yan, do you still suspect that there's something wrong with Yuan Jie?" Dong Xianzhi asked with a smile.
"I'm not sure, but that old man has been too quiet for the past ten years. We can't let go of any details," the Three-Eyed Crow said with a commanding tone.
"Alright, I'll call him over tomorrow." Dong Xianzhi nodded.
"Isn't it enough to just ask? Can't he lie? You don't need me to teach you how to do that, do you? "The Three-Eyed Crow glanced at Dong Xianzhi coldly.
Dong Xianzhi understood. He thought that the Three-Eyed Crow was making a mountain out of a molehill. It actually wanted him to use a technique on a small disciple.
However, he didn't mind it and agreed.
The Three-Eyed Crow was satisfied with his attitude. It looked at the box on the table and asked, "Where did this box come from?"
"A gift from the kid of the Shao Family." Dong Xianzhi said bluntly. He opened the box in front of the Three-Eyed Crow. There was a translucent emerald inside.
"A fourth-grade Light Spirit Pill. The Shao Family is really sincere." The Three-Eyed Crow glanced at it and clicked its tongue.
"I told the Shao Family about Lord Gu's visit to the Luo Sect. The Shao Family hopes to establish a relationship with Lord Gu through me. Of course, they're interested in me." Dong Xianzhi revealed a mocking expression.
"The Shao Family is quite ambitious." The Three-Eyed Crow revealed a disdainful expression.
"Although the Shao Family is a bit whimsical, Lord Gu did say ten years ago that the Luo Sect would send a good seedling to him and he would teach him a thing or two. I originally had some expectations for the kid from the Shao Family. If he was chosen, it would be his fortune. Unfortunately, there's Yuan Jie now. How could he get a chance? "
Dong Xianzhi felt somewhat regretful. He wasn't regretful that Shao Heyang had missed his opportunity, but that he couldn't take Yuan Jie as his disciple.
Back then, Lord Gu had caused many elite disciples of the Luo Sect to die in order to explore the Lake of Life. He had made that promise as compensation.
That promise actually had another purpose. It was to bind the Luo Sect. However, if he could go to that person's side, he would naturally become his person. His fortune would still be there.
This fortune was different from relying on Lord Gu. Lord Gu had so many people under him. Even if he relied on him, he would only be following his subordinate. There was still a few levels of difference between them. However, the promise he made to the Luo Sect was to personally teach them!
That meant that the person chosen would have the chance to enter Lord Gu's inner circle and become his partner. The meaning was very different!
Dong Xianzhi had already planned for his future. If he could have someone in Lord Gu's inner circle who could speak up for him, his future would be brighter.
At the very least, the Crow Taoist in front of him would have to be polite to him!
"Alright, I can't stay here for too long. That old man is very sharp. It would be troublesome if I was accidentally discovered."
"Find out about Chen Yi and Yuan Jie's background. If there are no problems, continue to keep an eye on the Sacred Island. If you have any problems, come to my place. "
The Three-Eyed Raven had said everything it needed to say. It spread its wings, turned into a black gust of wind, and disappeared from the room.
