The words say:

After many years, I forgot about Fanghua, and the past was depressed. In the evening bells, the slanting sun dyes the dusk. Endless wind and rain are gone, and there is no trace of still water. Outside the empty mountain, the hustle and bustle is lonely, and the materialistic desires are always ecstatic.

Red leaves are flying one after another, the mountains and rocks are true, and the winding path is slightly deep. Listen to the sound of the spring in the moon, and the bottles are full of sounds. Raise the wine Yaotai banquet, Jindan turns, inside and outside. Let him go, fame and wealth, and the old man will not work hard.

- Proposed "Full Court Frost".

At that time, Niu De analyzed the situation and denied Shi Zhen's statement, although Shi Zhen felt that what Niu De said was also reasonable, but he was always dissatisfied with Niu De's anger, so he angrily said Shi Shi's opinion:

"What the head senior brother said is certainly reasonable, what I said may not be wrong, right?

I think that on Zixu Mountain today, we are the foundation, and the disciples of all academies are just branches and leaves.

What's more, you also said that we fought for three years, and in these three years, if we were repeatedly interrupted by him, and we could not reach the spiritual realm, wouldn't we be in the end a bamboo basket for nothing?

Then again, that strong enemy may not be willing to leave us for three years, and if we don't hurry up our cultivation and get distracted by this and that all day long, what progress can we have?

I still think this way, we just have to cultivate, he can harass us, we can ignore it, and when he really does it, we can really fight with him!"

Niu De listened to it, and also felt that Shi Zhen's words made some sense, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Mu Ansheng stood up and saluted the head and the three elders, as well as his master, Gongsun Fu, before saying:

"Four uncles and ancestors, Gongsun Shishu, you just have to cultivate with peace of mind, if the enemy dares to attack, I will fight with all my might! Even if I can't resist him, but I can still buy time, so that the senior uncles and ancestors can end their retreat and go out to meet the enemy, I think I can still do it!"

Gongsun Fu listened and laughed. Niu De said: "Ansheng, it's hard for you to do this." ”

Mu Ansheng replied, "This is what a disciple should do", and was about to report Zhang Asheng's beating, not wanting Gongsun Fu to give him a look and ask him to go out quickly.

Mu Ansheng didn't understand what Gongsun Fu meant for a while, but he also quit.

Niu De was about to ask Mu Ansheng to step down, but seeing that Mu Ansheng took the initiative to leave, he immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, Ansheng, you go." We still have something to talk about, so you don't have to listen. ”

Mu Ansheng withdrew, and Niu De asked: "Several of us have been threatened by that strong enemy, but that guy told me 'I'm going to kill you', I don't know how to threaten with you?"

Niu De expected Gongsun Fu to answer first, and didn't want Gongsun Fu to turn his face and pretend not to see it. Niu Bijun took it and said, "Senior brother, when that guy threatened me, he said the same thing. ”

Governor Yong and Shi Zhen listened and nodded slightly. Gongsun Fu nodded one last time, indicating that he was threatened, just like everyone else.

Niu De then said: "Since this is the case, then we will follow what the third elder said, just bury our heads in cultivation, and don't care what kind of birdman he is, how he threatens and when to make a move." ”

So the five masters of the Zixu Immortal Sword Sect adopted the ostrich method in this situation, and sure enough, they were all like an ostrich, so they just buried their heads in the quiet room and continued to cultivate.

However, it is said that the five masters here have entered the meditation, and Zhang Asheng has also entered the meditation over there, and Mu Ansheng is presiding over the affairs of the faction, which is quite complicated and can be narrated, especially the annual examination, and there are many wonderful plots, but they have nothing to do with the master, and it is not about the purpose of this book, so I will skip it.

At this time, the entire Zixu Immortal Sword Sect, except for the annual examination, up and down, and all the people in each academy, their activities have decreased significantly, and most of them are working hard to cultivate, which is also the result of the upward and downward effects.

As for the occasional threat of that powerful enemy, it is also quite regular, often once every half a month, and each time it only threatens the five masters of the Zixu Immortal Sword Sect.

That's it, time has passed, and most of the half a year has passed, so that the disciples in the Zixu Immortal Sword Sect all thought that that inexplicably powerful enemy had a lot to do with this sect and loved it very much, so he actually used this way to urge the disciples of this sect to strengthen their cultivation?

From ordinary sprinkler disciples to Mu Ansheng, who was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the whole sect, they all had this illusion:

I am afraid that the strong enemy is deliberately urging the disciples of this sect to strengthen their cultivation, so this method is nothing more than a far better effect than bitter preaching.

Of course, if Mu Ansheng could communicate with the four masters and ancestors who were in retreat, or with his master, Gongsun Fu, he would not have such an erroneous view.

However, when Mu Ansheng communicated with Zhao Liqian, Zhao Liqian also had this opinion: This person must have used this way to urge us to strengthen our cultivation, otherwise, why didn't we see him make a move? Moreover, the facts are in front of us, because of the strengthening of cultivation, many disciples have made certain breakthroughs in their personal realms, and even a very small number of outstanding disciples have made great progress!

Mu Ansheng discussed with Zhao Liqian, although Zhao Liqian's statement was quite reasonable, he was still a little relieved, after all, the current Zixu Immortal Sword Sect was all taken care of by him.

Mu Ansheng thought about it, and felt that it was better to discuss with the old winter melon, after all, he was also the one who picked it up and became the deputy head of the lower courtyard of Shangshanmen;

Even if the old winter melon has no eyesight, but at least live long enough, as the saying goes, people have eaten more salt than we have eaten!

So Mu Ansheng went to find the old winter melon, said his thoughts, and asked the old winter melon to help the staff officer.

Mu Ansheng came to the outside of the old winter melon quiet room and reported to his home: "Mu Ansheng came to meet the master of the courtyard, please give me a meeting!"

After a long time, the door of the quiet room was "ah", and it opened without wind, and the voice of the old winter melon came from the inside: "Oh, it's Ansheng, come in." ”

Mu Ansheng entered the quiet room and gave a salute to the old winter melon, and the old winter melon said: "That's it, don't be polite, I said a long time ago, you and my peers have a relationship." ”

Mu Ansheng smiled innocently and said, "Courtyard Master, for all this time, I have been thinking about why that powerful enemy has never shown his face?

Speaking of which, under his threat, the disciples of this sect have all worked hard to strengthen their cultivation, and they have made great progress, so much so that many people think:

That powerful enemy, in fact, does not exist, he may have a lot to do with our Zixu Immortal Sword Sect, and they are deliberately using this way to urge my disciples to work hard to cultivate. ”

The old winter melon smiled: "Do you think so too?"

Mu Ansheng said: "I also have such an idea. However, before the retreat, the head of the sect, the three elders and the master of the Gongsun Monastery retreated, they entrusted me with the management of the day-to-day affairs of my sect, and I couldn't help but think about it.

As the saying goes, 'It is better to believe what is there than to believe what is not'; ”

The old winter melon listened, nodded, and waited until Mu Ansheng said that he spoke leisurely: "Brother Ansheng, do you know how you got to the deputy head of this lower courtyard?"

Zhang Asheng smiled: "Thank you for cultivating this." ”

Old Winter Melon nodded again, and said: "Although I have cultivated you, but in the final analysis, you have to rely on your own efforts, your performance, in terms of daily actions, has always been impartial, so this is why you are in charge of the Zixu Immortal Sword Sect today."

If you think about it, whether it is the head of the family, or the three elders, they all have their own descendants, that Sima Gong, Shi Tianxi, Shi Tianle, and Niu Bijun's descendant disciple Niu Yihou are all from your uncle's generation, in such an extraordinary period, in terms of seniority, one of them should also be responsible for taking care of the affairs of the whole faction, but everyone agrees to give you this important responsibility, do you know why?"

Mu Ansheng said with a smile: "Although I don't say that I can be absolutely fair in doing things, since I am not biased, of course I have to make a bowl of water as flat as possible to convince people." ”

The old winter melon nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Although what you said makes sense, it is not entirely true.

In the final analysis, the five masters of this faction, the head and the four elders are one faction, the eldest elder and the third elder are one faction, the master of the Gongsun Courtyard is one faction, the faction is divided, the faction fights, there are some things that you don't know, but I know them very well!"

Mu Ansheng smiled: "Yes, yes. It's just that this matter has nothing to do with what I want to ask you. ”

When the old winter melon heard this, he said solemnly: "Why don't you get involved? I'll be honest with you today, their five masters are fighting among themselves and are divided into three factions, what is the reason?"

The two Niu originally belonged to the Niu family of Funiu County, and the Shi and Zhou families were originally from the Mirage Shi family, and the Niu and Shi families had conflicts very early, and they joined the sect as disciples, all of whom had a plan.

I think back then, at the beginning of the establishment of the Zixu Immortal Sword Sect, it was clearly stipulated that only the children of mining slaves would be accepted, and the children of meritorious families or wealthy people would never be accepted. ”

When Mu Ansheng heard this, he said: "I really don't know these stories, I would like to hear them in detail." ”

Old Donggua nodded and said, "The reason why the faction later accepted the children of the Niu and Shi families of meritorious families, in the final analysis, is that the cause is still in Gongsun Wuyi himself. ”

Mu Ansheng heard this, and was a little strange: "The original regulations should have been ordered by the old ancestor of Gongsun himself, right? Could it be that he also changed it himself?"

"Exactly!"

"Out of the way and out of the other, why is he?"

"Why? It's just because he did a bad thing - it was he who killed Elder Keqing Shui ruthlessly, and after being afraid, he had to seek a backer, so he turned to the secular immortal kingdom, accepted the title, and got in touch with Mirage City and Funiu County. ”

Mu Ansheng didn't seem to understand it, and he didn't quite understand. The old winter melon continues to explain. According to what Lao Donggua said, when Gongsun Wuyi coveted the ruthless sleeping skill of Shui, and after he harmed Shui Ruthless, he found that there seemed to be a huge background behind Shui Ruthless!

What should I do? Ask the True Dao Immortal Kingdom for a seal. The Zixu Immortal Sword Sect accepted the seal of the Immortal Kingdom, and from then on, the disciples of this sect who have cultivated to the realm of the True Dao will have the opportunity to get the identity of the self-fellow recognized by the Immortal Kingdom, and they can even devote themselves to the development of the Immortal Kingdom's army, but if they have meritorious service, they will be rewarded.

The Zixu Immortal Sword Sect obtained the seal of the Immortal Kingdom, so it was naturally inevitable to deal with the magnates of the Immortal Kingdom, so they became friends with the Mirage Historian.

The Niu family of Funiu County, there is a contradiction with the Shi family, and when they saw that the Shi family had a friendship with the Zixu Immortal Sword Sect, they immediately took the initiative to attack and also came to have a friendship with the Zixu Immortal Sword Sect.

The Niu family's power is much stronger than the Shi family, and the Zixu Immortal Sword Sect is not good at offending others, so they have to accept the friendship of the two families.

After Gongsun Wuyi, from the time Gongsun Wu became the head, he began to collect the disciples of the Niu and Shi families to enter the cultivation of this sect......

So that's how the bane went—
