Chapter 104: Capricorn Sect
The north of the Chongyang Continent is vast, but it is mostly a desert swamp land, and there are few mountains, rivers and hills.
In addition, because of the harsh climate, the extreme cold and heat are all in the north, and ordinary people rarely settle in the north, even ordinary cultivators who are generally comfortable will not choose to live in that kind of harsh environment.
But there are a number of people who choose to survive there, either because they were forced to flee and because they have no way of knowing where they came from.
There are also a small number of people, they are just looking for a new way to experience, after all, the more difficult and dangerous the place, the easier it is to improve in cultivation.
Therefore, the more northern, the more fierce and fierce they are.
Although the environment in the north is harsh, all kinds of cultivation resources are extremely rich. So just as the southerners rarely set foot in the north, they rarely set foot in the south.
In the vast and sparsely populated north, gangs are also relatively scattered, but there is a sect that is famous all over the world.
Hundreds of years ago, this sect had a fierce conflict with the south, and although it was defeated, it also caused great harm to the south.
Hundreds of years later, some people recall that time, and they are still terrified by the scene of countless deaths and injuries, bloodshed, and drifting.
This sect is called Capricorn Sect, it is a sect that is good at magic and martial arts, because it is a dominant family in the north, the sect leader Chen Jianqiu was the king hundreds of years ago, and became the co-leader of the major gangs in the north.
Chen Jianqiu's inflated ambition at the beginning of his claim to the king led him to launch that tragic campaign.
The Capricorn Sect, which returned from defeat, was fortunate that due to the harsh geography, it was not retaliated by the southern cultivators, and they were able to recover their battle losses in just over a hundred years.
Evil spirits trampled on major cities in the south, bandits were everywhere, Chen Jianqiu, who was in the north, watched for nearly a year, and saw that the situation in the south had not improved, but had become more chaotic.
He finally couldn't suppress the long-cherished wish that had been precipitated in his heart for hundreds of years, but he was not a person who lacked reason, knowing that the turmoil in the south was just a scratching game for the four major sects to let it do.
"Since you let it be, then I'll do it too, and since it's a game, I'll make your game more exciting. ”
Of course, Chen Jianqiu didn't have the mentality of having fun, he wanted to test the strength of the south by participating in this turmoil, and he wanted to show the strength of his Capricorn Sect to the cultivators in the south.
So he sent his third son, Chen Zhongnan, and led 50,000 cultivators south, of which 30,000 were the elite of the Capricorn Sect.
After a year's hurried journey, they finally arrived at the battlefield of their conquest, the peripheral forces were very weak, and Chen Zhongnan was a person who was good at using soldiers, and everywhere he went, the southern cultivators who were attacked, three or four of them died, three or four of them surrendered, and one or two escaped.
The bandits who were besieged all surrendered to this army. As a result, the growing army was overwhelmed, and soon approached the heart of the south.
Just a few days after Xiao Nan left Jingyun City with Xunjiabao's team, this army of more than 100,000 people captured Jingyun City.
Similarly, in the Jingyun Gate defending Jingyun City, there were three or four victims, and the surrenderers were similar, only one or two percent of the Jingyun Gate disciples fled, and among them, the Shen Hall Master of the Tianyuan Pavilion led some of the singers inside to escape from the chaos.
And the master of Jingyun Gate and the remaining two elders, when the disparity in strength was too great, chose to submit and became a small leader of this army.
At the same time, there were thousands of disciples of Jingyunmen who returned to Shun, and Chen Zhongnan learned about the four major sects and Xunjiabao from these people at the first time.
"There are only a few hundred of them?" asked Chen Zhongnan with some excitement.
The Shang Sect Master who was questioned was not in a high mood, but his expression was respectful, and he replied: "There are more than three hundred people in total, and they have just left Jingyun City for three days. ”
"Hahaha, God really helps me, I have this opportunity to meet, the young lady of the four major sects and Xun Qianhu of Xunjiabao, I have heard of Xun Qianhu for a long time. Chen Zhongnan laughed as if no one was around, and stood up from the chair of the main seat, clapping his palms continuously.
It took him a while to calm down from his excitement, and he said to a middle-aged man with a full beard sitting on the left: "Tuhu!"
The big man got up, tall and strong, like an iron tower, and responded loudly: "Young master!"
"You can hear what we just said. ”
Not a word was missed. ”
Chen Zhongnan frowned, and said solemnly: "That's good, this task of containment will be handed over to you." ”
With a "bang", Tuhu slapped his chest heavily and roared: "Thank you for the cultivation of the young master, I, Tuhu, will definitely not disappoint the young master." ”
"Haha, that's good, I'll let you take 5,000 elites, no, you take 10,000 elites, and then 10,000 cultivators who are obedient to us, it's best to catch them alive. ”
"Catch alive?" Tu Hu scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Eh, of course, it's the best way to catch them alive, in case there are people who fight to the death, you can fulfill them. ”
Tuhu's expression changed from embarrassed to happy when he heard this.
"Tuhu, you remember, as long as you can successfully contain it this time, our southern expedition will already be a great victory, and it will be a victory that greatly exceeds my father's expectations. ”
When Chen Zhongnan said this, he was still not at ease with his encirclement arrangements, and sent two right-hand men, each leading a thousand men to go their separate ways to pursue, while he himself was stationed in Jingyun City to wait for their great news.
When people from all walks of life left Jingyun City, they were all led by the disciples of Jingyun Sect, and they chased after them day and night.
And the team of more than 300 people who didn't know it was moving forward leisurely, Xun Qianhu and the five women were originally girlish in nature, and through this period of getting along, the relationship became more and more deep.
Han Yusheng, Zhuge An, and Du Ling, the three sons, also deliberately catered to these five national colors, so they laughed and laughed very harmoniously all the way.
Xiao Nan and the few Xunjiabao disciples who used to live in the same house rode in the same carriage, driving at the end of the procession, and more than fifty carriages dragged out a long convoy on the road.
Xiao Nan and several people in the same car also had some verbal exchanges, maybe these people had been together for a long time, and the content of what they talked about was very simple, so after a few days, everyone meditated and cultivated.
In the front carriage, the five women were very cheerful, eating, drinking, talking and laughing.
"Sister Qianhu, we have to follow you all the time this time. The first time I came, I wanted to go with you to the Wuman Forest, but you took me around the edge of the forest. Wei Shuangling leaned on Lu Yiying's shoulder, and said with some dissatisfaction.
"You were still young, like a little fairy, can I take you to the forest casually?" Xun Qianhu was the most handsome of these five people after they changed their appearance into men.
Xun Qianhu's words made Lu Yiying and Wei Shuangling's hearts sink at the same time.
Wei Shuangling's heart was gloomy for a while, "That time I went to the Zongyun Mountain Range, I insisted on going my own way, and I killed that kid's master." ”
Lu Yiying also felt a pain in her heart, she had also heard about Xiao Nan's death in the Zongyun Mountain Range, she could not have emotional fluctuations for Xiao Nan's deceased master, she just thought of Xiao Nan from this.
"I don't know where you died, but I know you're okay, and I'll find you! No matter how long! If you have anything to do with another woman, I'll kill her in front of you, and then I'll ...... you too. Torture you to ...... death, too. ”
Lu Yiying's big eyes were blank, but her heart was like a lake wrinkled by a breeze.
"Hmph, it's really shameless, and said that Xun Yue's hair is good-looking, in the past two years, I have suffered so much sin, and you still have the heart to mess with flowers and grass. ”
Lu Yiying was thinking about it, Xun Yue pointed to Wei Shuangqi beside her, and pointed to Lu Wei, who was leaning together, and laughed out loud.
"I said, sister, don't lean together, okay? We feel so disgusting when we look at it, the two men are still like this, I really want to throw up. Wei Shuangqi said to them in a nauseous state.
Nearly ten days later, Xiao Nan felt that his magic realm had reached the critical point of breakthrough again, and he couldn't help but worry about it, "The magic level has improved very quickly, but there are only two kinds of magic skills when they are reversed, and the next time I have the opportunity, I can't help but make two new sets of magic scrolls to learn." ”
The carriage slowed down suddenly, and there was a commotion outside.
"Go down and have a look. A Xunjiabao disciple in the same car opened the door of the carriage and jumped out of the car.
When he got out of the car, Xiao Nan saw that the entire convoy had stopped, and people poured out of the car.
"What's going on?" asked a lot of people.
"We were followed for a long distance. Someone replied.
"And more and more people are showing up. ”
"Is it a bandit?"
"It must be, ordinary pedestrians, what are you doing so sneakily?"
People all looked out to the hilly on the left.
"There are quite a few bandits in this group, more than a thousand. ”
"We all stopped, come, Lao Tzu didn't go to you, but you sent it to the door. A young cultivator jumped on the roof of the carriage and waved to the people on the hill.
The mood of this group of people became more and more excited, some whistled and shouted, and some waved and laughed.
Xiao Nan's emotions seemed to be driven by them, but they were only slightly fluctuating, after all, he did not completely belong to the Xunjiabao gang now, and his position with those thieves was not completely opposed.
The gang was just making noise, not paying any attention to each other, and none of them left the side of the carriage they were riding.
It was just a sudden situation that made the masters in the carriage nervous, who were the couriers who had gathered from various cities, and temporarily played the role of coachmen.
"Why are so many people popping up all of a sudden?" said a coachman.
"What's wrong, I'm afraid!" someone asked him disdainfully.
"This ...... And behold, some of them came out from behind the mountain. As if he didn't take the other man's sarcasm seriously, the driver pointed to the growing crowd on the hill.
Indeed, the dense crowd had already begun to move towards them, and there were still human heads emerging from behind.
Now even the cultivators of Xunjiabao changed color and became serious, "Why are there so many thieves in this gang?"
The crowd of people who came like a tide on the other side kept accelerating.
"Don't be stunned, get together, don't spread out like this. ”
"Gather in the middle, pay attention to attack and defense!"
Xiao Nan blended in among them, and soon, hundreds of people had gathered in one place.
Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice sounded: "Everyone must not disperse, we must take care of each other, and when retreating, it is best to retreat in the direction of Xunjiabao." ”
Xiao Nan heard the prestige, "Why is he, isn't he the one who brought me out from the Heavenly Margin Pavilion?"
