Chapter 219: Decide to act
In the early morning, in a house in the east of Jingcheng, there were three people sitting at a square table, and the top was a man with a beard and cheeks, with thick bones, raised eyebrows, leopard eyes, and a square nose and mouth, showing a rough and arrogant atmosphere.
And one person sat on each side of him on the left and right, all of whom were old men.
The old man on the left has a few strands of white beard, which are wrinkled but give people a sense of leanness.
The old man on the right has a graceful face, and his skin is fair, and even slightly smooth, so smooth that there are no marks on the top and bottom of his lips.
"Eldest Prince, yesterday Elder Pang asked me to inform you that he wanted to invite you to live in the Xuanling Sect. The old man on the left spoke, speaking to the man sitting in the first place, but his eyes did not look at him.
The man known as the eldest prince did not answer, and looked straight out of the door, as if thinking about something.
The white-bearded old man continued to speak: "I knew that the eldest prince did not want to be restrained, so I politely refused for you at that time. ”
The eldest prince turned his gaze back to him and hummed softly, expressing his satisfaction with what he had done.
"Then he promised to cede one of the mines of the Xuanling Sect to us, which is about three hundred miles away from the Xuanling Sect, so that our people can move to where to live first, and the houses and living places are ready-made. ”
The eldest prince snorted, and this time his voice was heavier.
The white-bearded old man looked at the teacup in his hand and nodded a few times, "I agreed at that time, and asked Zhang Protector to take some of our disciples to that mine." ”
The eldest prince remained silent this time, and only after a while did he ask, "Uncle Zuo, do you think the Xuanling Sect is reliable?"
It turned out that the white-bearded old man's surname was Zuo, he shook his head calmly and smiled: "You can rely on it, but it may not be reliable, it depends on what kind of thing we have to do, if what we do is something, Xuanling Sect can resolve it, they will definitely not stand idly by, our Capricorn Sect and Xuanling Sect are now on the same boat, if we poke the basket too big, we are finished, and they will be finished." ”
These people are from the extremely cold land in the north, it is Zhuge Huairen, the sect leader of the Xuanling Sect, and Pang Yu, the great elder under him, who went north several times, and after several twists and turns, they persuaded the sect leader of the Capricorn Sect, Chen Jianqiu, to be willing to turn enemies into friends and reach a secret alliance.
The Capricorn Sect was established in the north, although its own sect could not compete with any of the four major sects, and even its strength was not as good as Xunjiabao in the eastern part of the mainland.
But the sky is high and the road is far away, and the geographical environment in the north is extremely harsh, and for thousands of years, he Capricorn Sect has also gone south several times to make trouble, burning and slaughtering, just for profit, which has also made Capricorn Sect bear a bad reputation of cruelty and barbarism.
The four major sects have also gone north to crusade many times, and the Capricorn Sect has suffered heavy losses several times and fled several times, but they have never been destroyed, but have a tendency to become stronger and stronger, and they have always dominated the north.
More than 20 years ago, tens of thousands of cultivators of the Capricorn Sect went south again, and the result was almost completely annihilated, and even the third son sent by the sect leader Chen Jianqiu, who was also his favorite son, Chen Zhongnan, almost died in that operation.
Chen Zhongnan met Xiao Nan and Wei Shuangling in the spirit stone mine cave in the Wuman Forest, and was cut off by the two of them because of his evil thoughts, and it took him twelve years before he returned to the Capricorn Sect like a beggar.
The reason why Chen Jianqiu of the Capricorn Sect was finally willing to unite with the Xuanling Sect was related to the setback of that southward journey, he was unwilling to be the king only in the north, and he was a king who could not be compared with the four major sects.
Zhuge Huairen's dark thoughts are not groundless and reasonable, the death of his son Zhuge An, put aside the resentment and grief of being a father first.
On the second day of the incident, he had a conflict with Shangguan Yun of the Xingyue Sect, and then Lu Yixuan, the sect master of the Offshore Sect, came, Lu Yixuan appeared to resolve the conflict, but in essence, he pressed the balance to Shangguan Yun's side.
The four major sects were originally a perfect support system for the religion of this continent, and they ruled this continent together, and they also maintained this continent together. Make rules and exercise their rights in accordance with the rules.
But through that incident, Zhuge Huairen suddenly discovered that this perfect system actually has cracks, maybe it doesn't matter for the time being, but if this crack gradually deepens, it will develop to the point where this system collapses.
"The four major sects, who is on a blind date with his Xuanling Sect? The Xingyue Sect and the Offshore Sect seem to be more harmonious!" This has become Zhuge Huairen's lingering heart disease, and he must be fully prepared.
The Capricorn Sect sent people to the Xuanling Sect many times, almost all of them were elites, and after confirming that it was a real alliance, Chen Jianqiu sent his eldest son Chen Zhengnan with confidence this time.
Those who came to Xuanling Sect with Chen Zhengnan were two old men in this living room, one of the elders was surnamed Zuo, and the other was the protector of the Dharma, surnamed Tang.
The status of the two old men in the Capricorn Sect is extremely high, especially Elder Zuo, even Chen Zhengnan, who is a murderer, has to obey him, as can be seen from Chen Zhengnan's title of Uncle Zuo.
This was also specially arranged by Chen Jianqiu, who knew that his son, who only knew that he was on a rampage, needed to be restrained.
"Uncle Zuo....... Chen Zhengnan was about to open his mouth to ask, when he saw a disciple flash in, and came to him in a few steps.
The disciple lowered his head and whispered, "Eldest prince, the two young ladies of the Xun family have finally left the city." ”
"Say, where are you going?, who are you traveling with?" Chen Zhengnan's leopard's eyes shrank, and his body tensed as if he had found prey.
"It should be in the direction of the Xingyue Sect, there are six people in the same company, and the spies who are following them all know clearly, in addition to the two young ladies of the Xun family, there are also two young ladies of the Wei family of the Xingyue Sect. dm
"The other two, one is Miss Lu from the Offshore Sect, and the other is a man, who just finished participating in the competition yesterday, and his cultivation is not low, and his surname is Lu, called Lu Yuan, and I don't know what the specific relationship with the Lu family is, it should be a relative of the Lu family. ”
After the disciple finished speaking, he straightened up.
"Uncle Zuo, look?" Chen Zhengnan asked as he looked at Elder Zuo on the side.
"Huh. Elder Zuo chuckled twice, and finally raised his eyes for the first time to look around at the two people present, "I think it's feasible, and it's necessary, it's been so long, it's time to make a noise, what do you two think?"
"I listen to Uncle Zuo!" Chen Zhengnan Huo Ran stood up, and immediately sat down again after speaking.
"Brother Tang, what do you think?" Elder Zuo looked at Tang Protector.
"I also think it's necessary, but it's up to you to plan how to act. "Tang Protector's voice was as soft as a woman's.
"Okay, that's it!" Elder Zuo slammed the teacup on the table as he spoke, but the cup was full of tea, but it didn't even shake out a ripple.
After a bang, he didn't look back and said to the disciples who came here to report the news: "You go to the west wing, call those leaders, and select fifty disciples to come to this front yard to wait, the speed must be fast!"
The disciples left in response, and Elder Zuo put on a smiling face and said to Tang Protector: "This time, I have to bother Brother Tang to personally lead them there!"
Tang Protector didn't speak, just stretched out a hand, stroked his smooth chin and nodded.
"What?, Uncle Zuo, won't you send me?" Chen Zhengnan stood up again, his eyes wide and he roared in disbelief.
Elder Zuo raised his gaze, looked at him coldly, and said, "You want to expose your target? Do you think we're just here for a day or two?
When Chen Zhengnan heard this, although his expression was a little wilted, his tone was still dissatisfied: "Okay, Uncle Zuo, I'm not going, I'll go back to the room to find those women." ”
Elder Zuo sighed, "When you were in the Capricorn Sect, how did your father warn you? We are going to come here to fight steadily, it is best to lay a solid foundation, this is under the noses of the four major sects, and no one has dared to come blatantly." ”
Chen Zhengnan, who had already turned around and wanted to leave, also took a long breath and returned to his seat and sat down again.
"We are not here to confront the four major sects head-on, but to find the right opportunity to have conflicts between their sects, which is our purpose. You are now the backbone of the one or two thousand Capricorn Sect disciples here, and if you make a mistake, our layout for so long will be wasted. ”
Chen Zhengnan nodded silently, and when Elder Zuo saw this, he explained some details of his actions to Tang Protector.
Soon, in the courtyard outside the door, more than fifty people gathered, and Elder Zuo and the other three got up and walked out of the room.
Elder Zuo walked down the steps and faced them, "This mission is not difficult, and Tang Protector personally went there, so you have memorized it for me, only success is allowed, and no failure is allowed." ”
Seeing that everyone nodded their heads, he spoke again: "Although the task is not difficult, but it is also necessary to take some necessary pills out in case, and then hand over the storage jade, so as not to be identified by the other party, and the goods will naturally be returned to the original owner afterwards, and there will be another heavy reward." ”
No one objected to Elder Zuo's request, and a few other disciples went to receive them one by one, and soon collected the storage jade of these more than fifty people.
"There is also a harsh requirement, and I have to wronged everyone to do it, if you don't want to, you can change to another person!"
As soon as Elder Zuo's words came out, someone spoke: "What is Elder Zuo's words, Elder Zuo's request, how can we not do it?"
"Hehe, that's good, but I'm doing this for the sake of our brothers, and for the sake of the more than 2,000 Capricorn Sect disciples who have come here. ”
After he finished speaking, he took out a fist-sized jade bottle, and continued: "This is the 'Myelin Devouring Pill', you should all have seen or heard of the efficacy of this elixir. ”
As soon as his voice fell, the people in the courtyard suddenly became in an uproar, Elder Zuo waved his hand, coughed and continued: "The onset time of this elixir is eight hours later, if you take it, if you don't take the antidote within eight hours, you will die immediately." ”
He looked around at everyone with a serious face, "I will let each of you take one pill, in case someone is captured, the captured people can have the heart of death, without telling our secrets, so as to save the two thousand brothers of our Capricorn Sect here." ”
He opened the cap of the jade bottle, "Those who are willing to participate in this operation will automatically come to receive the pill and take it, and those who are unwilling will not be reluctant." ”
Elder Zuo's request was chilling, but it was reasonable, some of them thought they would not encounter a hypothetical disaster, while others did not dare to back down, knowing that if they did not do so, any terrible consequences could occur.
One by one, they spread out their palms, came to Elder Zuo, took the Myelin Devouring Pill, put it in his mouth, raised his head and swallowed it, and opened his mouth for the three people in front of him to check, to show his determination and heart.
No one retreated, and Elder Zuo comforted everyone with satisfaction: "Okay, you will set off in teams, and then gather outside the city, everything will be done according to the orders of the Tang Protector, and the steps have been agreed, you can rest assured, I and the eldest prince will also go out of the city immediately, return to the old place and wait for your triumph, and then come to me to receive the antidote and reward." ”
