Nanyue Heng Mountain, one of the five mountains of Shenzhou, is located in the central part of Nanhu Province, with an altitude of 1,300 meters, a total length of 38 kilometers, a total area of 640 square kilometers, and a widest point of nearly 17 kilometers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

More than 200 large and small palaces and temples gather here, but most of them rely on the snort of Huiguang Temple and Shangqing Palace in the mountains to beg for a living.

Huiguang Temple was founded in 568 A.D., has thousands of years of history precipitation, Hengshan is famous in the world-famous Prajna Zen Forest, is one of the masterpieces of Huiguang Temple's founding patriarch Master Hui Si, the influence of Hengshan Vinaya, is still very extensive.

Another sect in Hengshan that is as famous as Huiguang Temple is one of the many branches of the Maoshan School in Sujiang Province, called Shangqing Palace, which was built in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, nearly a thousand years later than Huiguang Temple, but it monopolized one of the two major caves in Hengshan, and became a colossal force that can be evenly matched with Huiguang Temple, dominating many branches of the Shangqing School (Maoshan School) in Nanhu Province.

On the contrary, the palace view of the Quanzhen Sect is extremely rare on Hengshan, and even if there is, most of them are partial, and there is no famous palace view that has taken root here, and there are no Quanzhen monks in the actual sense of the word.

This is the Hengshan of Shangqing Palace and Huiguang Temple, and it is also an area with the most concentrated power in the metaphysical community of the entire Nanhu Province!

That night, Yang Chen and Wang Zongyan rushed from Jinzhou City to the territory of Hengshan, Wang Zongyan led Yang Chen on a winding and rugged mountain road, and turned back to Yang Chen and said: "The influence of your Quanzhen Sect in Nanhu Province is far inferior to any of the three schools of Fu Zheng, whether it is the Maoshan Sect that dominates Nanhu Province, or the branch of the Heavenly Master Dao or the Lingbao Sect that occupies the second place. ”

"The president of the Nanhu Provincial Branch is the dust purifier master of Huiguang Temple. Huiguang Temple is one of the birthplaces of Buddhism and has a high status among Buddhism. And it has been inherited for more than 1,400 years, and the heritage is profound. It is not weaker than the Lingbao Sect of my Pavilion Soap Mountain!"

"Under the Huiguang Temple, there are three vice presidents, in addition to the Wanxian Palace, which has been forced by you to close the mountain and lock the door, there is also the Shangqing Palace, a branch of the Maoshan faction, and the Heavenly Master Pavilion created by the eldest brother of the contemporary Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain!"

"Further down, there are five executive directors...... The Quanzhen Sect still only occupies two seats, and among the eight honorary directors, only one is occupied by the Shangxian Palace, and the remaining seven are occupied by the Buddhist Sect for four. Feng Shui occupies one, the martial arts sect occupies one, and the last one has also become the bag of our Lingbao sect branch. ”

Wang Zongyan said this in one breath, and finally paused.

Seeing the thoughtful expression on Yang Chen's face, he continued: "Maybe you have also discovered that compared to the metaphysical world in ancient times, the metaphysical world in the context of the current era is already full of worldly atmosphere, and it is no longer so pure...... You're right, it's not just the provincial chapters that are vying for power. Even the general meeting in the capital is also a miasma. ”

As he spoke, Wang Zongyan pointed in the direction of the capital, "All forces are fighting endlessly in the big dye vat in the capital. And the support from the local branches determines the size of the power in the hands of those bigwigs in the capital, the same. How much power the senior management of the general association has, how much confidence can be made by the local branch members......"

"So I've always been curious. You suddenly knocked out the only voice of the Quanzhen Sect in Nanhu Province, and those old men in the capital didn't come to trouble you...... It doesn't make sense!"

The whole process was just Yang Chen, who was listening quietly. Only then did he chuckle, "Maybe it's my life." ”

"It's not funny at all. Wang Zongyan, who was already familiar with Yang Chen, took off his mask, not only did his tone of communication become more casual, but his facial expressions were also much richer and more exciting, and he smiled bitterly: "Maybe people are sharpening their knives, just waiting to pull it on your neck! Don't think I'm alarmist, they can't do this kind of thing!"

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, not to mention, as long as Wufengguan can successfully win the vice president seat of the Nanhu Provincial Branch this time, those people are afraid that it will be too late to win me over, right?" Yang Chen actually understood the mystery for a long time.

Wang Zongyan shook his head and said: "There are too many opponents in the competition, and they are too strong...... You don't have a chance!"

"If you don't try, how do you know? Yang Chen smiled faintly, with a hint of confidence all over his body.

But at this moment, from a small forest in front of the left, there was an old man's faint voice with a hint of mockery, "Where did you come from, you dare to make a big deal here!"

"Huh?" Wang Zongyan and Yang Chen were stunned for a moment, and stopped at the same time.

"I don't know which fellow Daoist is resting here?" Wang Zongyan stood in front of Yang Chen, frowning slightly, but his tone still maintained the necessary politeness, after all, Hengshan was not the territory of the Lingbao Sect, and he only took Yang Chen up the mountain for a night tonight.

"You're from the Pavilion Soap Sect, right?" A tall and burly figure came out from behind the grove, with a wine gourd pinned to his waist, and through the hazy moonlight, he could clearly see the appearance and approximate age of this person, at least he was over seventy years old.

After this person came out of the woods, he glanced at Wang Zongyan, who was standing in front of Yang Chen, and then sneered: "A mere mid-fourth-order Dharma Protector Elder dares to be commensurate with a fellow Daoist in front of the old Dao?

"You ......" Wang Zongyan was so angry by the other party's contemptuous tone that his face immediately became gloomy.

As one of the three sects of the Fu Zheng, the Protector Elder of the Lingbao Sect, although he is only ranked sixth, he can also be called a high authority, after all, the Lingbao Sect is one of the three ancestral courts of Zhengyi, and the so-called central one is always more awesome, this is the truth.

Usually going down the mountain to do things for the sect, no matter where he goes, except for meeting some strange and strange elders with extremely high seniority, how could Wang Zongyan have been treated with such contempt and disdain?

He was able to put down his body in front of Yang Chen, throw away his shelf, and make friends with his peers, firstly, because he had repeatedly told the real person to maintain a good relationship with Yang Chen, and secondly, he admired Yang Chen's strength, which made him feel that he was not ashamed to do so.

But this doesn't mean that he still looks like a good man in front of outsiders...... In fact, Wang Zongyan's violent temper and his reputation for drinking tea are well-known in the entire Lingbao Sect!

Wang Zongyan said in a condensed voice: "Who is Your Excellency?"

"Lao Dao Xing doesn't change his name, he doesn't change his surname, Zhou Tongtian is also!" the unusually tall and burly old Dao hummed softly and reported to his family.

After hearing his words, Wang Zongyan's face changed suddenly......

"It turned out to be the head of Zhou on the northwest shore of Poyang Lake...... Wang Zongyan hugged his fists and said: "Forgive the younger generation for not being able to recognize it before, it is a lot of offense, and please ask the head of Zhou not to be surprised......"

It's no wonder that Wang Zongyan's emotions have such a fluctuating reaction, who made this Zhou Tongtian's name too loud?

The overall strength of the metaphysical community in Beihu Province is more than one step higher than that of Nanhu Province, and this week, Tongtian, as the head of Zhenlong Palace, doesn't know how many things have happened in the Beihu Provincial Branch, just to compete for a vice president seat.

There are too many rumors about Zhou Tongtian in the metaphysical world, and it is no wonder that Wang Zongyan's face changed as soon as he heard this name.

Regarding Wang Zongyan's reaction, Zhou Tongtian was obviously quite satisfied.

A faint 'um' word popped out of his wide nostrils, and then he jumped down from it and fell on Yang Chen's body, "It was you yellow-haired boy before, clamoring to compete for the position of vice president of the Nanhu Provincial Branch?"

Before he could say a few words, Zhou Tongtian's gunpowder smell was already strong.

Wang Zongyan was afraid that Yang Chen would suffer a loss when he was young and vigorous, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "It was just a joke between us before, Master Zhou must not take it seriously...... Besides, your Zhenlong Palace is in the territory of Beihu Province, and this matter of Nanhu Province is ......"

"Are you trying to say that I'm not qualified to take care of the old way, right?" Zhou Tongtian's face turned pale, and his cold eyes swept over Wang Zongyan, "That's really embarrassing, the old Tao's Zhenlong Palace has already moved to the territory of Nanhu Province last night......

"Ah?!" Zhou Tongtian's words made Wang Zongyan almost fall to the ground! He subconsciously asked, "How is this possible?"

"What's impossible, the disciples of Zhenlong Palace have all been expelled from the sect by Lao Dao, so now Lao Dao I am also alone, naturally wherever I go, Zhenlong Palace is equivalent to where I have moved......" Zhou Tongtian sneered: "Do you have an opinion?"

"This ......" Wang Zongyan only felt that there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart!

I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless!

Zhou Tongtian ignored Wang Zongyan's reaction, but locked his eyes on Yang Chen's body, and said with a bit of mockery and a bit of provocation: "You are Yang Chen of the Five Peaks View on the southeast shore of Poyang Lake......, right? Why, when I saw Lao Dao, I didn't know how to salute?"

Zhou Tongtian inherited the Suishan faction of the Quanzhen Sect, and was ordered to go out and set up his own door because he lost the battle for the position of head of the Suishan faction.

After traveling to many places across the country, he took root on the northwest shore of Poyang Lake in Beihu Province more than 20 years ago, built a magnificent palace, named Zhenlong Palace, and called himself Suilong Zhenren, which is the number one difficult character in the metaphysical circle of Beihu Province.

The Taoist system of the Five Peaks View is inherited from the Suishan School of the Quanzhen Sect, which is the foundation that can be found out at a casual glance.

Therefore, Zhou Tongtian confidently put on an elder's face in front of Yang Chen......

Wang Zongyan, who knew that Zhou Tongtian was powerful, was afraid that Yang Chen would have a conflict with him, so he hurriedly slapped his eyes at Yang Chen, wanting to signal Yang Chen not to affect the purpose of this trip because of the momentary battle of will.

But Yang Chen didn't seem to see Wang Zongyan's eyes, looked at Zhou Tongtian and asked lightly, "What are you?"
