Chapter 342 Lei Chu's Noble
Chapter 342 Lei Chu's Noble
Arrived at Huangya Mountain.
The mountains here are continuous and meandering to the horizon. The color of the mountains is light yellow and warm, as if they were gently caressed by the sun, emitting a soft light.
The rocks are jagged, some look as if they were cut by knives and axes, some are like crouching giant beasts, in various shapes. On top of one of the more solid peaks, there is a relatively magnificent building that blends in with the surrounding natural environment. This is the sect of Huangya Mountain.
The houses here have a different structure from the common ones. Half of them are made of solidified yellowish soil and rocks from Huangshan Mountain, and the other half are made of wood, which is very local in style.
The houses are scattered in an orderly manner on the top of the mountain.
Zhang Yu and Huang Zuo came to the gate of Huangya Mountain. Huang Zuo casually displayed a sign and then took Zhang Yu and Lei Chu in.
When they got inside, Huang Zuo arranged Zhang Yu to a hall first, while he went to ask the sect leader for instructions and explained the whole story.
In the hall, Lei Chu didn't quite understand the conversation between Zhang Yu and Huang Zuo, so he asked again, hoping to get some guidance.
Zhang Yu admired people like Lei Chu who acted in accordance with the justice in their hearts, so he was naturally willing to help him. After he knew this, he would leave a way out for himself in advance when he encountered similar things in the future.
So he thought for a while, and after he had sorted out what to say in his mind, he instructed Lei Chu, "When I came here, I used my spiritual sense to observe the surrounding villages, towns, cities, etc. on the way... From my observation, I can see that the people here are indeed protected and helped by Huangya Mountain.
So, before Huang Zuo wrongly accused you, what he said about them being a famous and upright sect was not false. Their sect was really helping ordinary people. Otherwise, he would not dare to keep mentioning this matter.
However, there are many contradictory things in the world. For example, Huang Yashan's case is probably because he usually acts too righteously and does too many good things. He even uses very strict standards to constrain the members of his sect.
As a result, if someone under their command really does something they cannot accept, they will even firmly say that it is impossible. It is not because they know the truth and are cheating, but because they really think it is impossible.
If you say that there are evil cultivators among them, the kind of people they will "kill on sight", then they will not doubt their own people, but will only think that you are talking nonsense and smearing their group.
It is true that they are righteous, but this identity makes them feel suffocated. Once you touch the sensitive nerves of these people, they will definitely do irrational things. They have reached the level of fanaticism of some religions.
I am not saying that taking the right path is wrong. On the contrary, if they take the right path, it will definitely be a good thing for the common people.
It's just that it is precisely because of their absolutely righteous identity that once they make a wrong judgment on some things and slander others, it will be extremely difficult for the slandered person to prove himself.
For example, if I hadn't participated in this incident, you wouldn't have any room to refute and would have been nailed to the ground directly."
Lei Chu was very shocked, and a feeling of enlightenment spread throughout his body. He muttered to himself: "This is the reason..."
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Zhang Yu began the second part of his instructions: "The guy named Chen Sheng you met is definitely an evil cultivator, but the second one named Fan Fengli is probably not an evil cultivator."
Lei Chu frowned and recalled for a moment, then nodded with a mixture of uncertainty and certainty: "It shouldn't be. I didn't pay much attention to him at the time, but I didn't feel any discomfort, so it shouldn't be him. But even though he's not an evil cultivator, his behavior is no different from that of an evil cultivator."
"Hey~" Zhang Yu waved his hand: "I just finished talking to you, why don't you understand? Although I don't know what you talked about in detail, I can be sure that when you talked to the other party, you must have said that the evil cultivator was from the other sect."
"Yes, that's true, but I didn't lie, and the other party said I was an evil cultivator right from the start. They even slandered me, saying that I slandered their disciples." Lei Chu was still angry when he talked about this.
"The world of cultivation has never been a fair place. It is normal for someone with a higher level of cultivation to speak to you in a domineering manner, look down on you, or say some nonsense. In the world of cultivation, it is rare for a strong person to talk to a weak person on an equal footing.
Fan Fengli is a realm higher than you, and he is probably a very mean person. When he went to the village you left to look for information about you, he must have heard something unacceptable to him. Therefore, it would be strange if he spoke to you in a good mood, considering that he felt that his sect was being slandered. "
Lei Chu was silent for a moment: "So if I encounter something like that, do I have to swallow my anger?"
"Yes." Zhang Yu said without hesitation, but then added three words: "Not right either."
"I hope City Lord Zhang can give me some advice." Lei Chu was very serious at this time.
"I'm right. That's because if you have someone who is better than you in every aspect, you should never do the opposite of him. Saying nice things to please others and being blunt and honest are annoying. Big cats are stroked by the hair, but white cats are stroked by the stubble.
If you are smart enough and know how to speak, then the crisis that is coming can be resolved. Even if it cannot be resolved, it will not be as serious as at the beginning.
As for the Fan Fengli you met, it seemed like a dead end, but don’t forget that no matter what, he has a background of doing justice, so you have room to maneuver from the beginning, but if you confront him head-on, it would be strange if he doesn’t explode.”
After hearing Zhang Yu's words, he paused for a moment. Lei Chu couldn't help but ask, "Lord City Lord, you haven't said what 'not right' means yet."
Zhang Yu sighed, "What I just said is still a way out, but there are still dead ends in the world. For example, someone is here to kill you from the beginning. As for why, there are many reasons, such as looking for a scapegoat, evil cultivation requires human sacrifice, or simply being a pervert, etc. If you encounter such a situation, you don't need to endure it, just do your best.
Besides, for someone with a stubborn personality like you, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to say anything against your will, so when you met Fan Fengli, well... the final result would be the same."
Lei Chu reflected deeply at this time: "Thank you for your advice, Lord City Lord. I will definitely change in the future."
Zhang Yu waved his hand: "A person's character is determined by nature and cannot be changed. All you need to do is try not to make the same mistake. When you meet a strong person in the future, don't be as reckless as before."
