Chapter 160 I am not willing to be a brick
Yinyu laughed dryly and said, "Did you hear that?"
Quan Yizhen nodded, Yinyu looked speechless, scratched his nose with his knuckles and said: "...It's...not...so...good..."
Any normal person could tell that the words were forced, but Quan Yizhen seemed to have only heard the literal meaning and said, "Oh."
Yinyu saw that he believed it, smiled, and finally said: "Actually, you don't have to care. You didn't do anything wrong, really. This is also good."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the reason why all the brothers and sisters disliked Quan Yizhen in everything was not because he had a big appetite, not because he was irritable when he woke up, and not because he always ignored others and only cared about showing off when forming a team.
In the final analysis, what they really couldn't stand was the latter part: he came the latest, but got the most.
Quan Yizhen nodded and said, "I think so too."
Yinyu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go practice! This is the most important thing. Don't think about anything else."
Quan Yizhen jumped out of the window. Looking at the direction, he was indeed going to practice. Yinyu closed the window and picked up the scriptures from the desk to study.
After watching the two scenes, Xie Lian praised, "Sanlang, your subordinate is really a rare person. He has a good character." But then he remembered that Yinyu had just nearly chopped off Quan Yizhen's head with a shovel from the geomancer, so he hurriedly asked, "Is everything okay outside?"
Hua Cheng showed him the outside. Yin Yu calmed down, pulled the earth master out with a shovel, and seemed to be thinking about what to do with Quan Yizhen's head. Xie Lian felt a little relieved and said, "I guess their problem should be after they ascended?"
Hua Cheng said: "Correct."
After he finished speaking, a magnificent palace appeared before Xie Lian’s eyes.
Yinyu sat in the center of the main hall, Jianyu and Quan Yizhen standing behind him. The hall was filled with people coming and going, all of them were priests from the heavens. Xie Lian also saw many familiar faces, such as the masculine Lingwen, the indifferent Pei Su, and the flawless smile of Lang Qianqiu... They were all dressed in formal attire, and the little priests behind them were holding red gift boxes in their hands.
Obviously, this is the Immortal Capital, Yinyu Palace. And this day is the Yinyu Palace's establishment ceremony, that is, the auspicious day when his immortal residence in the Immortal Capital is completed.
Xie Lian was slightly surprised. It was not difficult for Huacheng to see the scenes of the human world. The human world was his territory. As long as he was willing to cast a net in the sea of people, the eyes of passers-by, wandering souls, flying birds, and walking animals could all be used by him. But Xianjing was the land of heaven, how could he see this?
Hua Cheng seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and said, "Brother, look at the corner near the palace door."
Xie Lian looked as he was told. The area of "corner" was actually quite large, because this temple was not very small, and there were at least dozens of figures coming in and out of the corner near the temple door. Hua Cheng asked again, "Guess which one is Heishui?"
Xie Lian then remembered that He Xuan had been lurking in the Upper Heaven Court, and that he must have sold all the information about Xianjing to Hua Cheng. He couldn't help but concentrate on distinguishing, and in a moment, he found a more suitable one and asked, "The one in black?"
Hua Cheng said: "This guess is too conservative, it's not right, guess again."
Xie Lian asked again, “The one who doesn’t smile?”
Hua Cheng said: "That's not right either."
After guessing several times, all of them were wrong. At this moment, someone reported: "The Master of Wind has arrived—"
Xie Lian immediately looked towards the entrance of the main hall. He saw Shi Qingxuan waving his wind master fan and walking in with a smile on his face. He threw the gift box in his hand to the side and said with a cupped hand, “Congratulations on the establishment of the Yinyu Palace. I’m late, I’ll have to drink a little wine as punishment. Hahahaha!”
Yin Yu, who was sitting on the seat, smiled and said, "No, I am not late. Master Feng, please come in!"
Hua Cheng finally revealed the answer to the mystery and said, "This is it."
Xie Lian: “??? Master Feng is Black Water?”
This is too mysterious. Hua Cheng smiled and said, "Brother, you misunderstood. It's not this, it's the one behind him."
Xie Lian looked carefully and saw that standing at the side of the hall door behind Shi Qingxuan was a junior priest who was responsible for receiving gift boxes from the guests. He was not good-looking, but he was enthusiastic and smiling. Shi Qingxuan walked into the hall triumphantly and casually threw a small pearl to him as a reward. The priest's eyes lit up and he caught it with both hands, saying thank you, sir, thank you, sir, repeatedly, looking extremely servile. Xie Lian couldn't help but ask, "... Is this Heishui? Heishui with such a bright smile?"
Hua Cheng said: "That's him. It's just a fake smile. This person has at least fifty clones in Xianjing, each with a different identity. He can monitor more than eighty Upper Heavenly Court priests and more than three hundred Middle Heavenly Court priests at the same time. Otherwise, the identity of Earth Master alone is far from enough."
“…” Xie Lian couldn’t help but admire Heishui’s acting skills, his ability to play chess, and his energy that was so strong that he didn’t know what to say, and asked, “What about the fifty-plus clones now?”
Hua Cheng said: "Jun Wu is pulling out the nails one by one."
Just as he finished speaking, a harsh voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Highness Yinyu, you'd better give an explanation today, what happened to your junior brother!"
The smiles of the priests immediately faded, and they all looked outside at the same time. It seemed that someone wanted to break in, but was stopped, and continued to shout outside the hall: "Your junior brother Quan Yizhen attacked a priest with a higher status than him in the upper heaven, and you still do something about it?"
Yinyu's smile disappeared, and he lowered his voice and asked the two people behind him: "What's going on? Yizhen, did you fight with others again?"
Quan Yizhen said: "It moved."
Jianyu's eyes widened with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's you again, you stinky boy!"
When something like this happened, Shi Qingxuan was always the first to speak. He put his whisk into his collar and said, "What's going on? Today is their temple-building ceremony. Can't we talk about it later?"
It's someone else's big day, but he came here to make trouble, which is either inconsiderate or he is just looking for trouble. The people outside the palace said, "Oh, so today is your big day to establish the palace, we didn't know that. But he beat us for not picking a day, do we have to pick a day to settle accounts with him? Quan Yizhen is a member of your Yinyu Palace, he was personally appointed by His Highness Yinyu, who else can we go to if not him?"
It was certain that he was here to cause trouble. Ling Wen frowned slightly and said, "Why do you have to do this?"
Yinyu had no choice but to stand up and said, "I understand. But now is not a good time. How about we talk about it later?"
The people outside the palace said, "I just hope that you, Yinyu Palace, won't cover up for him!"
Without knowing how the incident happened, the accusation of "sheltering" was put on him, which was extremely aggressive. Shi Qingxuan seemed to be about to speak again, but Quan Yizhen suddenly jumped down from behind Yinyu and said, "Are you guys going to leave or not?"
The troublemaker obviously knew that he would not dare to fight back in this situation, and said fearlessly: "If I don't leave, do you want to fight again? So many immortal officials are watching..."
Who would have thought that Quan Yizhen was a man who could not be judged by common sense. Without saying a word, he raised his fist and flew out. There was a scream outside the hall, and all the priests in the hall were stunned!
After a while, Ling Wen said, "Come here, grab him, he's going to be beaten to death!"
Yinyu was also stunned for a moment, then hurried out, saying, "Stop it!" The troublemakers shouted, "You Yinyu Palace are really amazing! Good, good! Brothers team up to bully others!"
…
In the evening, in the side hall of Yinyu Palace, Yinyu was pacing back and forth. Jianyu was furious and said, "Today's good palace ceremony was ruined by this stinky boy!!!"
Xie Lian could completely understand why Jianyu was so angry.
Although Xie Lian didn’t care much about the Temple Ceremony, many other priests did. It was a ceremony for a priest to officially become a member of the Heavenly Court. Today’s incident, to make an inappropriate analogy, was like an emperor in the mortal world whose coronation ceremony was disrupted by someone else. Who wouldn’t be furious?
Yinyu sighed and said, "Forget it. Someone must have provoked him first. And he didn't start the trouble today. It's just that he chose today on purpose. What can we do?"
Jianyu said: "There are so many people in the Heavenly Palace, why don't they mess with others, but only with him?"
Yin Yu said: "You know, he is not the type to not fight back when being beaten. It's not that others don't provoke others, it's that others can tolerate it, but he can't."
Jianyu said, "This is Xianjing, not the human world. Can't we just keep quiet and keep a low profile?! If he had not caused trouble earlier and had behaved himself, no one would have had the chance to attack today! Now it's great, it's embarrassing! So many priests are watching! If it gets out, who cares who started the fight first? They will only say that Yinyu Palace was unreasonable and fought in public. Who will tell you who was more wrong and who was less wrong?! Do you think he is right? No! As long as something happens, as long as you fight, you are wrong! He doesn't know shit! He will only cause trouble for us!"
After the outburst, Jianyu left the side hall in a rage, while Yinyu sat there, worried.
After a while, he turned around and saw a dark figure squatting on the window frame. Yinyu was startled again by this familiar scene and asked, "Why are you squatting here again? When did you come here? What is this habit?"
Quan Yizhen didn't answer and said, "They scolded me first."
Yinyu hesitated and said, "Yizhen, don't take what Jianyu said to heart."
Quan Yizhen stubbornly said, "They scolded me first. I don't know them at all. They said I was a low-level priest, scolded me for no reason, laughed at me, and told me to get out and get out of the way. I asked them to apologize, but they refused, so I beat them. Only when they were beaten did they shut up, otherwise I wouldn't beat them."
Although it is still relatively harmonious now, in the early days, some high-ranking and senior priests in the Upper Heaven and Lower Heaven would indeed exclude and bully the junior priests with the least seniority. This was not uncommon at that time. Yinyu sighed.
Quan Yizhen asked, "Are lower-level priests inferior to others?"
Yinyu said, “No.”
Isn’t it?
It was obvious that even he himself did not believe this. Quan Yizhen also noticed it. After a long while, he frankly said, "I don't like it here."
Yinyu said nothing. Quan Yizhen said, "They find me annoying, but I find them more annoying. I used to have eight hours a day to practice, but now I have to spend more than half of it talking nonsense and listening to nonsense, visiting and being visited. Some people come to scold me and beat me for no reason, and they won't apologize, and they won't let me beat them. This is not a fairyland at all. I don't like it here."
Yinyu sighed and said, "I don't like it here either."
Quan Yizhen said: "Then go back."
Yinyu shook his head and said, "Although I don't like it here, I still want to stay here."
Quan Yizhen was puzzled and asked, "If you don't like it, why do you stay here?"
Yin Yu laughed dumbly. He couldn't explain to him how many people dreamed of seeking the ultimate truth in Xianjing, nor could he make him understand how difficult it was to ascend to heaven at his age. He said, "This... because ascending to heaven is really difficult. Since it's so difficult, I still want to do better now that I'm here."
Quan Yizhen disagreed and said, "Ascension is no big deal! It doesn't matter if you don't fly."
Yinyu was a little angry, but also a little amused, and said, "What do you mean it's no big deal? Why don't you try it?"
Seeing this, Xie Lian said, “People, please don’t joke around so easily.”
Hua Cheng said, "That's right. In less than half a year, when Quan Yizhen ascends to heaven, he won't find it funny anymore."
Xie Lian asked, “Can we still watch it at that time?”
Hua Cheng said: "Yes. Wait a moment."
The scene changed, and this time, it was still in Xianjing, but the scene was a banquet under the moon. Xie Lian looked for a moment and said, "Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?"
Hua Cheng said: "Not bad."
Xie Lian asked, “Where is the black water hidden this time?”
Hua Cheng said: "Look who is eating."
At the banquet, all the priests were busy toasting, chatting, and playing games. Only one person almost buried his face in the big bowl in front of him. This time, He Xuan did not hide, but sat in the corner as a geomancer. However, no one paid attention to him.
Yinyu and Jianyu sat next to the "geographer", both of them belonged to the marginal area. Yinyu didn't eat or talk to anyone. Jianyu whispered: "Thank God, that sick brat didn't come!"
Yinyu heard it and whispered, "He has been in the Ascension for such a long time. If you continue to say that, it will not be good if others hear it. You should be careful."
Jianyu said: "That's the truth. Am I wrong? So what if he ascended to heaven? Even if he is a few hundred years older, his brain still won't work well."
As he was talking, a group of newly arrived priests sat down nearby. They all seemed to be new faces. After a hasty greeting, one of the priests casually asked Yinyu, "Who is this?"
Another priest also answered casually: "This is the God of War who guards the West."
Upon hearing this, the priest who asked the question suddenly became extremely enthusiastic. He stood up and toasted, saying, "Oh! Oh! I've heard a lot about your great name!"
Yinyu also stood up quickly and said with a smile: "Why have you heard of me for so long?"
The priest said, "Hey, Your Excellency, don't be so modest! I have really heard of your great name for a long time! I have long heard that His Highness Qiying from the West is young and promising. He has won the hearts of believers in just a few years of ascension. He even made it into the top ten at this year's Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival! He is now dominating the West, his position is unshakable, and he has a bright future! Now that I see him, he seems to be a little older than I thought? But he is still very young, and he deserves to be called young and promising!"
Hearing this, Yinyu's smile froze on his face. He didn't know whether to accept the glass of wine or not. He suddenly felt extremely awkward. The other party continued to warmly try to get closer to him, calling him brother: "To be honest, I rarely get along with people, but I really like you, Brother Quan! My territory is also in the west. If you need any help in the future, just let me know as long as you don't mind! We should all take care of each other. Hahaha..."
He laughed heartily, and the people around him who knew Yin Yu also laughed heartily. Xie Lian could have traveled through time and space, directly feeling the overwhelming and suffocating embarrassment.
Jianyu's face turned green with anger, but Yinyu remained calm. Although his hands trembled for a moment, he managed to keep steady and said, "I'm sorry..."
Just as he was trying to clear up the misunderstanding, someone shouted, "Qiying is here!"
