59. Something happened
In the hall of the free faction, it was surprisingly quiet. Because it was a meeting between the heads of the two factions, a group of disciples were cleared, including the closest Dharma Protector disciples beside him. Feng Qu and Ding Xiao sat in the main and side positions respectively, but no one said a word. Time passed in such unbearable silence minute by minute, until the tea cups on the table were no longer steaming, and Feng Qu opened his mouth, with a terrifying flatness in his tone:
"Senior Brother Ding...... Oh no, it's time to call you Ding, long time no see. ”
Ding Xiao raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Feng Qu, and then arched his hand without any sincerity, and said to him in the same cold tone, "If that hadn't happened, I'd rather never see you again in my life." ”
"Huh." Feng Qu's laughter was full of sadness, he didn't want to live in the world, but the thoughts of the two former heads, how could he be in vain. However, Ding Xiao's disgust did not affect the voiceover of Feng Qu's words, thinking of this, he had to let go of any grievances in the past, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
As soon as he mentioned the matter, Ding Xiao also put away his disdain, and said to Feng Qu seriously, "Two days ago, the heads of the three factions of Kunlun Valley in the west, Xuanji Island in the south, and Tianjing Gate in the east all gathered in my Qingxu Palace, listen to their meaning, the land of Shenzhou is about to usher in a new bloody storm." ”
"What!" Feng Qu's heart sank, the land of Shenzhou was only quiet for less than a hundred years, and it was about to become Shura Hell again? He's been going through the Tribulation for the past few months, so he doesn't know what's going on outside. When he heard that Ding Xiao was coming, he was still a little incredulous in his heart, and wondered how the news had just come out of the customs and how the news had reached Qingxu Palace; The strangest thing is that even if it is passed on, how can Ding Xiao sincerely come over to congratulate him, after all, not everyone can do it like Qingfeng Dao and Shangguan Longyang, regardless of past suspicions.
"Could it be that the demon clan that has been silent for a long time has made any moves?" Recalling those things in the past, Feng Qu only felt that his intestines were turning nine times, and his heart was like a knife.
I didn't want to, but Ding Xiao shook his head, and only after a while did he pick up Feng Qu's words, with a little inexplicable pain in his tone, "This time, it was the alien beast clan that provoked the incident. ”
"Strange beasts! How is this possible! The alien beast clan has always had no grudges with humans, and besides, they are also a reclusive race...... "Feng Qu really can't understand how a race that can be regarded as a natal beast by humans can stir up trouble. And with what he knew about that person...... It really doesn't make sense!
Ding Xiao also seemed to be immersed in grief, and after a while, he shook his head, unconsciously picked up the teacup with his right hand, shook it, and put it down again, before he said, "The heads of the three factions will not lie, and from their mouths, I know that some cultivators who cultivate scattered immortals, as well as those who are still low in cultivation, are missing. My Qingxu Palace is in an extremely cold place, and there are few strange beasts, so it seems that I have temporarily avoided this catastrophe. ”
"Is the Alien Beast Clan's target for immortal cultivators? But what is it for? Feng Qu frowned and sighed silently.
"Because of the special identity of the strange beast, it is difficult to deal with and it is very hidden, and the other three factions have sent disciples who are cultivated above the spiritual silence to go down the mountain to find them, even if they can't find the reason, they must always find those missing disciples. This time, I came here on behalf of the four major factions to ask, are there any disciples of your sect missing? ”
Feng Qu shook his head, then got up, walked to the center of the main hall, called Xuan Yi and Shun Hua in a loud voice, and after whispering a few words to them, the two of them said yes, and left with their swords. Feng Qu sat back in place with a heavy heart, and after a long period of silence, he said to Ding Xiao again, "How can you conclude that it was a strange beast that did it?" ”
"On the way to find a disciple, the head of Xuanji Island, Jiang Zhangmen, once fought against a seven-tailed fox with golden eyes, and he lost both." Ding Xiao said, suddenly turning his head, unwilling to look at Feng Qu, "And the missing disciple who was found lost his mind helped the seven-tailed fox when he was fighting against the head of Jiang; If it weren't for Master Jiang's advanced cultivation, I'm afraid the consequences would be ......."
Ding Xiao didn't continue, but Feng Qu seemed to be choked by someone's neck, and suddenly he began to have a strong feeling of suffocation, and his face turned pale.
"Master!"
Xuan Yi and Shun Hua were very fast, and the news that Feng Qu wanted was quickly informed to him. Hearing this, Feng Qu was stunned, and gave another order to the two of them, before he said to Ding Xiao, "Master Ding, there are some private matters that need to be solved in the Xiaoyao faction, it is better for Master Ding to go down with his disciples to rest first, and we will talk about it later." ”
Ding Xiao rarely saw Feng Qu's panicked appearance, but he didn't bother much, just nodded, and then under the leadership of Xuan Shu and Shun Ying at the door, he went to the backyard with his four Dharma Protector disciples.
***
And at this moment, the three elders of the Bodhi Zi of the Broken Sky Tower, the Zong Daozi of the Falling Moon Tower, and the Flowing Fairy of the Seven Star Tower, all gathered in the side hall under the leadership of Xuan Yi and Shun Hua, waiting for Feng Qu to come. Originally, the three elders had prepared congratulatory gifts for Feng Qu to celebrate his success; never thought that Feng Qu had just come out of the customs, but he encountered such a big thunderbolt.
Just when the three of them couldn't hold it back, Feng Qu finally made a big stride. The three elders all stood up and saluted, Feng Qu waved his hand, and immediately said after taking his seat, "What the hell is going on, Flowing Fairy, why do there are more than a dozen disciples in the Seven Star Mansion who have not returned?" ”
Although the flowing fairy is known as the elder of the Seven Star Building, he rules the entire Seven Star Building, but looking at her petite face, she looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. It's just that as soon as he opened his mouth, the sense of maturity that had gone through vicissitudes was immediately exposed, "If you go back to the master, it's all the disciple's mistake, because when it comes to going down the mountain to visit relatives, the disciple can't bear to see the disciples under the door for five places to go down the mountain, you let me and I let you, so I made a private decision to let them all go down the mountain to visit relatives." It's just that...... They went away and never returned. The disciple also planned to report the matter to the head when he left the gate, and let the head punish him, after all, it was the disciple's fault to let the disciple go down the mountain without permission......"
"Flowing fairy, I know that you have always been soft-hearted, but this time, you are doing bad things with good intentions!" Feng Qu sighed heavily, and when he looked up, he met the puzzled eyes of the upper-class fairy, he gritted his teeth, and said, "These dozen disciples who have gone down the mountain, how much do you cultivate?" ”
Seeing that Feng Qu was so solemn, the flow fairy also had a heart up and down, and he didn't know what was going on, and replied with a slight trembling tone, "It's not more than the fusion period of refining and refining qi." ”
Hearing this, Feng Qu shouted in his heart that it was not good, so he told the elders on the third floor what Ding Xiao said. After Feng Qu's voice fell, the flowing fairy could barely stand steadily, and he had to rely on the kindness of Zong Daozi on the side to help him not fall. Seeing this, Feng Qu could only sigh, and asked Bodhi Zi and Zong Daozi again, "On your second floor, do you have any disciples going down the mountain to visit relatives in the near future?" ”
"It's all back." Bodhi Zi and Zong Daozi replied respectfully. Feng Qu thought about it, the disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect, the good immortals were all in the Breaking Sky Tower and the Falling Moon Tower, and the Seven Star Building was known as the gathering place of scum, and there were many cultivators with low cultivation. He sighed slightly, and said to the three again, "Then the disciples who are cultivating in the building now, how many people are above the spiritual silence?" ”
"Seven people in the sky-breaking building."
"Six people in the Moon Tower."
"Five people from the Seven Star Building."
It doesn't add up to twenty. Feng Qu rubbed his temples with a headache, it is indeed no wonder that the immortal cultivators are withering now, in the big war a few decades ago, the immortal cultivators are almost dead. Now, although the five major fortresses stationed in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the land of Shenzhou, if you say that the cultivation is profound, you can count it on ten fingers; The scenery of the five major factions today is completely dependent on those junior immortal cultivators. But now, these "pillars" have an accident.
Seeing Feng Qu like this, Bodhi Zi sighed in his heart, stepped forward and arched his hand, "Master, I have sent disciples above Lingshan to go outside to practice, absorb the essence of the sun, moon and stars, and better assist in cultivation, so the disciples above Lingshan are a few who practice in the sect." If you don't go out like this, would it be good to recall those disciples who are cultivating outside the door for a long-term plan? ”
