Chapter 408: Entrusting the Heavy Responsibility (Asking for Recommendations!) )
?? In the secluded courtyard, an old man in green clothes is caressing his beard and looking at the ancient towering tree in the clearing, as if he is talking to the ancient tree, his eyes are deep and distant, quiet and peaceful. ◢ With ◢ Dream ◢ Small ◢ Say Щщш.. lā
After a long time, he sighed softly, and on his wrinkled old face, with this sigh, it seemed to deepen for no reason, but there was an inexplicable desolation.
"Disciple Lin Ning asks to see." Suddenly, a voice came from outside the hospital, he retracted his thoughts, and said lightly: "Come in." ”
The person who came was dressed in a moon-white shirt, his expression was resolute, and a pair of eyes as bright as jade reflected a cold brilliance, even in the face of a great monk like Qingyuan Dao Chang, he was neither humble nor arrogant, calm and unhurried, and his whole body exuded the meaning of coldness and dust.
When Daoist Qingyuan saw Lin Ning, he waved his hand lightly, signaling that he didn't need to salute again, but beckoned him to sit down with him.
"Lin Ning, three years have passed, and the things that happened outside, even if the top deliberately sealed it, but what the old man thinks, according to your ability, if you want to investigate, it is not too difficult, in this case, you should know why I am looking for you at this moment," Qingyuan Dao Chang said unashamedly.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Lin Ning knew what the other party was referring to, in the past three years, most of the masters of the sect have been assigned tasks to travel separately, as far as he knows, there are not many left in the sect now, except for the monks who have just built the foundation like him.
As early as two years ago, Zeng Yue, Ye Hongji and others also received an order from the upper echelons and quickly went to the territory of Yan State.
When Zeng Yue left, he didn't leave anything, but left a letter to Lin Ning, which was written to warn him that during this period, he should step up his cultivation and improve his cultivation as high as he could.
As for the rest, Zeng Yue did not mention anything.
He was originally a pragmatic person, and he had never been so hasty in dealing with cultivation, so after thinking about it carefully, Lin Ning also knew why Zeng Yue was so worried about him, and he secretly guessed that he was afraid that the war between the Demon Sect and the Righteous Path Alliance had already begun.
Poor low-level disciple, he has been kept in the dark, if he hadn't learned about this from the Akatsuki Sect Ancestor in advance, it would have been difficult for him to find out even the slightest bit of relevant information.
It shows the extent of the suppression of this matter from above.
At this point, Lin Ning could somewhat understand that the great battle that the Demon Sect intended to provoke involved the entire immortal realm, not to mention the low-level Qi refining disciples, even the Yuanying Great Cultivators such as Qingyuan Dao Chang could not be spared, even if these people knew in advance, it would not play any role except for creating panic and chaos in the air.
Back then, he vaguely guessed that within his day, there would be a bloody storm in the immortal realm.
In just three years, the Demon Sect gathered tens of thousands of Demon Dao monks and waved their troops southward, intending to break through some immortal cultivation sects on the periphery of Yan Kingdom in one fell swoop, so as to smash the barriers jointly formed between the righteous paths, and in one fell swoop, they wanted to wash the entire southern territory in blood.
The Demon Flame is arrogant, and it is simply unstoppable.
After learning of this, the entire Yan Kingdom set off an unprecedented frenzy, led by the three most powerful sects in southern Xinjiang, and in just half a year, they spontaneously formed an alliance.
Countless hidden primordial old monsters also came out one after another when their own sect was in danger of life and death, discussing countermeasures to deal with this impending catastrophe.
As the leader of the righteous path, it was naturally impossible for the Taiyi Sect to stay out of the matter, recalling that a year ago, after the first seat of the sect held several tense and serious meetings with many high-level monks such as Qingxu Sect and Huayan Sect, it was agreed: "With the power of the three sects, we will make every effort to help the Yan Kingdom Righteous Path Alliance defeat the enemy and stabilize the immortal world!" ”
As a result, in less than half a year, the Righteous Path Alliance, which was originally supported by the Demon Sect's large number of people, suddenly received the full help of the three major immortal cultivation sects of the Great Jin Dynasty, and its strength increased greatly, especially after learning that even the Taiyi Sect had participated in the war, countless monks in the alliance were even more demoralized, and finally fought against the Demon Sect to this day.
Lin Ning thought about the cause and effect, and it was not difficult to guess why Daoist Qingyuan was looking for him at this moment, and he muttered: "Master Master, your eyes are like a torch, it is indeed as your old man said, the reason for this is already known by the disciples, and they are ready to deal with everything in their hearts, please let the master fall."
”
Qingyuan Dao Chang's eyes showed a sense of relief, but he sighed weakly: "According to the good news from the front, in the recent period, although I have the help of the three major sects of the Great Jin, but the strength of the Demon Sect is too strong over the years, and the combat power of the foundation building level alone can exceed half of the entire alliance, not to mention the high-level monks of the Jiedan realm, fortunately, in the first few battles, both sides have reservations, and they dare not attack each other with all their might, after all, once they step into the territory of the other side, under the protection of no perfect strategy, they will definitely be frantically encircled and suppressed by high-level monks...... ”
"Alas...... Originally, the old man was reluctant to send you out, the rest of the five veins, the first one is still guarding the mountain gate, if the enemy comes to attack, there is also the capital for a battle, but you Qingfeng Vein, since the disappearance of Nangong Wen Jian, has been in a slump, and finally you have one more foundation building monk, but you have suffered such a change, Ye Hongji and Lu Hao have already left, and the three masters of Qingfeng Vein, there is only one of you left...... If you also leave, I really don't know who should manage and take care of so many disciples in this huge breeze vein. ”
He said lightly, as if the wrinkles on his face had deepened a little.
Lin Ning was silent, Qingyuan Dao Chief's worries were not unreasonable, now that the war was imminent, the battle situation was urgent, and the people of the Demon Sect could come at any time, at that time, the Qingfeng Vein would not even be able to take a foundation building monk, how could he ensure his safety?
"That's it......" Qingyuan Daoist stared at him with clear eyes, and said: "Lin Ning, the old man doesn't force you today, no matter whether you choose to go to Yan Country or not, use the name of Taiyi Sect to serve in the Righteous Path Alliance, or even go to the front line to support, no one will blame you, you don't have any psychological burden, everything is as you wish." ”
Hearing this, Lin Ning smiled faintly, "Master of the family, since the disciple entered the Taiyi Sect, he has already had the idea of taking this as his home, in the early years, the disciple was just a casual cultivator, the four seas were his home, he tasted the ups and downs of the world, and he understood very well what a great sorrow it is to be homeless, everyone in the world says that he is at ease for immortals, and then ask himself, how many people are truly at ease in today's casual cultivation?" How can you allow others to offend at will? So, let the disciples go! ”
He slowly stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Okay, good, my Taiyi Sect has never been humble or arrogant, even if he knows that he is going to die, he has no reason to retreat, Lin Ning, the old man admitted, he was confused for a while, and he looked away, you kid should be the most difficult kind of genius that the old man has met for thousands of years, not in the qualifications, not in the spiritual root, but in the heart.
Daoist Qingyuan swept away the gloom on his face and laughed heartily.
Then, he flipped through the air in his hand, and saw two simple tokens, he handed it to Lin Ning and said: "This is the identity card, now the immortal world of Yan Kingdom is in chaos, non-righteous people don't believe it, this is a token, don't lose it, you take this thing to the Sanqing Palace in Yan Kingdom, and someone will receive you." ”
Lin Ning took it, but he was a little puzzled when he held it in his hand.
Qingyuan Dao nodded and said, "By the way, let's take Lian'er with you!" ”
"Lian'er?" Lin Ning was stunned, "How can you take her ...... in such a dangerous place?"
"Let him come with you." Before Lin Ning finished speaking, Daoist Qingyuan interrupted first: "It's not a good thing to let her go out of the sect to practice, and give her to you, the old man is very relieved." ”
Lin Ning looked down at the other token, and was speechless for a while, and after a while, he seemed to think of something, so he reluctantly responded.
"Go, when you get there, everything depends on your own creation......" As he spoke, Daoist Qingyuan looked at the ancient tree again, as if sighing, as if thinking.
Lin Ning said goodbye and retreated outside the courtyard, looking up at the blue and flawless sky, stunned......
