Lan Xiang said: "It's not just Yunze Country, it is said that after the Dao Demon War, the nine major factions settled in the Central Plains, and under the auspices of the Yuxu Palace, they divided the sixteen kingdoms of Kyushu in the Cangwu Continent, and the rules set by them have not changed after so many years." According to what Taishang Donghua Zhenren said back then, this is to make the entire sect in the Cangwu Continent more enterprising and urgent, devote themselves to cultivation, and do less foreign affairs, so as not to be caught up by future generations and make their own faction ruin and die. And after all, Xiuzhen Shijie's resources are limited, so it can also reduce disputes. ”

Gu Yan couldn't help but let out a sneer in her heart, although she didn't know what the people who set the rules thought back then, but she could probably imagine in her heart that after putting down those high-sounding words, it was nothing more than the word power.

The nine major factions of that year undoubtedly stood at the core of the highest power, but with their liliang alone, they could not rule the entire Cangwu Continent, so they divided the sixteen kingdoms of Kyushu, and let the family at that time be the second core of this spire. Under their rule, those small and medium-sized sects are tilting against each other and competing with each other, while the nine major sects can stand in a high dominant position, above them, watch them fight, and when the situation changes, they will mediate, so that the situation in the entire Cangwu Continent is within their control.

In this way, it is not difficult to imagine that for so many years, Yuanying Monk has also appeared, but no one has ever been able to shake the status of the Nine Great Sects on the Cangwu Continent, because no matter how the ups and downs of those sects are, the root cause is always controlled by the Nine Great Sects, and they are looking at the people below fighting each other, no matter what the fight looks like, it is always in the circle they draw, and no one can really touch their majesty.

Gu Yan sighed lightly, they did this way. Although it has been in place for 10,000 years, after all, no system can last long, and now it has finally shown its decline. At least in this era when the immortal cultivation world is withering day by day. The Nine Great Sects could not guarantee that there would be so many talents to suppress the entire Cangwu Continent, but the monks below were constantly rising, like the Wei family, a small clan in the southeast. also began to dare to advance into the Central Plains. Although in Gu Yan's opinion, the Wei family's heart is too big. And he himself can't afford his own ambitions, but this means after all, that the rule of the Nine Great Factions over Cangwu is not as monolithic as before, and it is slowly beginning to show its cracks. She traveled all the way in Yunze, and she probably saw the situation in the immortal cultivation realm, and she had a glimpse of the leopard. It is conceivable that the royal family of Yunze Country is probably no longer able to control all the factions in the country, but can only control it with power. This is probably the harbinger of troubled times.

Gu Yan shook his head, driving this complicated idea out of his mind, what does this matter to himself? As a casual cultivator, what she pursues is immortality, the Great Dao, these things, let's leave them to those who are willing to bother their brains to worry about.

Lan Xiang saw Gu Yan fall into deep thought. Said strangely: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Gu Yan smiled, "Thinking of some things, it's just a little touching." She walked up to Bi Zhenzhen and said. If you don't mind, can you let me give you a look at the true yuan? ”

Bi Zhenzhen is refreshing, "The seniors are willing to help, but they can't ask for it." Then he stretched out a wrist as white as snow.

There was a tall girl standing beside her, and she said with some worry: "Master......" Bi Zhenzhen said, "Fairy Gu was invited by Senior Lan, if there is anything else that can't be trusted, don't say much." ”

Gu Yan glanced at this tall girl attentively, there were more than a dozen disciples of Bi Zhenzhen, only this girl was on her side, and her cultivation was also the highest among everyone, she was already at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, and she was only one step away from breaking through to the late stage. In addition, there are two disciples in the early stage of foundation building, both of whom are outside the hall, and the rest are all teenagers in the Qi refining period. It seems that Bi Zhenzhen is right, this sect is really withering, if it weren't for a monk like Bi Zhenzhen to support the façade, it would probably have been swallowed up by the surrounding factions a long time ago. They would not allow the Danxia Sect to occupy such a cave.

She gently put her fingers on Bi Zhenzhen's wrist, released a wisp of her true qi into it, and traveled all the meridians in her body, and the rest of the places were normal.

Lan Xiang said: "You also think something is abnormal, the cold poison in her body is hidden deep in the meridians, and it can't be dissolved for a long time, and now it has begun to spread." She tapped her hand on her forehead and said, "I'm a conceited alchemist, and it's not once or twice that I have healed people's wounds, this situation is really unprecedented." ”

Gu Yan frowned slightly, she quietly let go of her chaotic space, and then released a trace of aura from the space, and suddenly felt a great rebound force coming from her wrist, Gu Yan was caught off guard, and her fingers were flicked away all of a sudden. And Bi Zhenzhen quickly withdrew his hand and couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

She looked at Gu Yan a little apologetically, "Just now, I was really presumptuous, and the pain in my wrist suddenly hurt like a knife, I really couldn't stand it......"

Gu Yan shook his hand, "It's okay." Let me ask you one thing, after you started with cold poison, it wasn't that serious? ”

Bi Zhenzhen nodded, "At first, I just felt that I was occasionally infected with a small illness, and I didn't care, but then I felt that there was a cold lingering in my body, and I began to take pills to dispel cold poison, but I didn't see any effect, but it became heavier and heavier, and now as long as I meditate and refine qi, I will feel that the pain in my body is like a knife, and the cold qi travels around my body, as if I am about to freeze." ”

Gu Yan groaned and said, "I can probably guess some, but I still need to verify it, so let's treat your injuries first." You endure some pain. She reached into the bag and took out a crimson bead the size of her thumb's belly. Quietly resting in her palm, it glowed with a clear luster.

This is the fire spirit bead she got from that monster in the underground palace of Meridian Valley. The fire spirit bead is pregnant with the essence of earth fire and incarnated, it is the purest fire between heaven and earth, she pinched the fire spirit bead with two fingers, hung it in the air, and drew a talisman in the air with her left hand, and then Bi Zhenzhen's body, suddenly there was a trace of white gas.

Bi Zhenzhen frowned slightly, his face a little solemn. It was obviously very painful, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, and all those white qi gathered on the fire spirit bead. Then there was a hissing sound, as if it had been evaporated by the flames, and layers of mist rose around it. Then it condensed into drops of water on the fire spirit beads,

And so it went on for half an hour. Gu Yan's head was also faintly soaked with beads of sweat, and then she put away the fire spirit bead and let out a sigh, "Master Bimen, can you try again, has it improved?" ”

Bi Zhenzhen tried to breathe the aura in his body, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. "It's really getting better, what method did Fairy Gu use, so effective?"

Lan Xiang also blinked, looking at Gu Yan very curiously, she is also a well-known alchemist in the six southeastern countries, she has tried her best, and she can't even find out where Bi Zhenzhen's cause is, she can only watch her get heavier and heavier in the past six months, but Gu Yan actually has a spiritual effect as soon as she makes a move, is it really a natural Huigen?

Gu Yan smiled bitterly: "This also verifies what I think in my heart." It's just that Lord Bimen's injuries are not easy to heal. She hesitated for a moment before she said, "Actually, it wasn't cold poison in your body, but ......" She paused. It seems to be weighing the words, "It's possessed by a demon beast!" ”

Bi Zhenzhen was startled, stood up quickly, looked around, and then said, "Fairy Gu...... This isn't a joke, in the past six months, I haven't felt that my mind has been possessed, and the disciples haven't noticed anything abnormal about me! ”

Gu Yan shook his hand, "I didn't mean that, after all, you are also a monk who formed a golden pill, what kind of demon beast can still attach to your body after the soul leaves your body?" Unless it's an ancient demon, it's still possible. I mean, your meridians are possessed by the eggs of a demon worm. ”

When Lan Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "There is still such a monster in the world?" ”

Gu Yan said: "Actually, this is not unusual, in the bodies of those beasts in the mortal world, there are many parasitic things, and it is inevitable that there are vulgar things among the demon beasts." It's just that the demon beasts that usually parasitize are relatively low-level, and very few of them are parasitic on people. I once saw a kind of demon insect called the white cicada in the classics, this kind of demon insect only lays one egg at a time, after giving birth, the female worm will die, the egg will parasitize in the human body, suck the essence of the human body, and when the body is exhausted, it will grow naturally. ”

Everyone who heard it couldn't help but be stunned, and they also admired Gu Yan's erudition, "In this way, isn't this kind of demon insect the great enemy of the monk?" ”

Gu Yan said with a smile: "No, in fact, this kind of insect egg is extremely weak when it is just born, as long as the ordinary monk uses the true fire in his body, he can burn it to death, I don't know how it got to the body of the Bimen Master, and it can also live on your meridians, now it is hidden deep in the Liuyang Orthodox, if you want to get rid of it, it is not easy to do." ”

She turned her head to Lan Xiang and said, "If it was just discovered, I could use the fire spirit in my body to force out that larva, and then use the real fire to dissolve it, but now it is hidden in the depths of the meridians, if it is forcibly burned with real fire, the master of the Bi Sect will also be seriously injured, and if I don't get it right, I will directly return to the mortal dust, this method is absolutely impossible." ”

Bi Zhenzhen's face showed hatred, and he said with some hatred: "I know who is making trouble among them, it must be the gang of people from the Danxiadong faction!" ”

Gu Yan originally wanted to ask Bi Zhenzhen how she was possessed by this demon insect, but listening to her tone, it seemed to be related to the internal affairs of her sect, and it was not easy to inquire for a while.

Bi Zhenzhen raised his eyebrows in anger for a while, and then said: "Let Fairy Gu laugh, this is actually a disgraceful thing in this sect, but now that the Danxia Sect is withering, there is no face to show." Originally, Danxia Sect was more than 1,000 years ago, and it was also one of the best sects in Dongyang, this sect has always been based on the study of Fu Seal, unique in Yunze country, quite prestigious, but later, Danxia Sect had a dispute because of the inheritance of magic, and later split into two factions, this sect still remained in the mountain gate, as Danxia Sect, and the other faction was called Danxia East Sect, they occupied the east foot of the mountain, where the mountain gate was opened, and the disciples were taught, and now it seems to have changed its name, called Danyang faction. ”

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows, there was originally a dispute in the sect, this kind of thing is not uncommon, didn't the ancestor of the Bixia Sect also run away because of the dispute on the Dan Dao, but because of this, splitting a sect into two factions is really an extremely rare thing. Moreover, the sect that split out even changed its name, and it is obvious that it has already parted ways and will never look back.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Originally, Gu Yan shouldn't have said anything, but it was prudent. Or do you want to ask, why did your faction have disputes back then? ”

Bi Zhenzhen smiled bitterly: "Actually, it's just a trivial matter, because of the difference between the inner and outer Dan." She uttered those three words. Gu Yan suddenly understood.

Although she doesn't know much about the study of Fu Seal, she also knows that there are two kinds of Fu Seal Credits. One is explicit and the other is implicit. It's like the kind they usually draw when they're hanging in the air. They all belong to the category of hidden charms, which can only play an auxiliary role when casting spells, and cannot become a spell alone to use against the enemy.

But the manifest talisman is different, it is drawn on the talisman paper with a special material, through the talisman pen, and then it is like a cultivation weapon. It can have a variety of effects. In today's shijie, there are fewer and fewer people who are good at the study of talismans, and a haode talisman pen is usually worth 10,000 gold, and some even tens of thousands of spirit stones are hard to find.

The talisman paper is usually made of the fur of the spirit animal, mixed with the natural spiritual root and spirit grass, and the haode talisman seal can be stored for 10,000 years without rotting, and its effect is not reduced due to the age. As for the materials used to draw the talismans, they are the Yuan Dan and the essence blood of the demon beast.

In ancient times, they were all to capture demon beasts, and then use their demon pills and essence blood to draw talismans. But later, as the two worlds of man and heaven began to separate, the world of cultivating immortals withered day by day, and resources became more and more scarce. So someone invented the art of Waidan, which was made by refining the elixir and used to draw the rune seal, so that the drawn rune seal was not much different from the previous rune seal in terms of power.

In the current world of cultivating immortals, the art of the outer Dan is greatly revealed, due to the slow lack of resources, the inner Dan talisman seal is gradually decreasing, and now few people use it. Gu Yan didn't expect that the Danxia Sect was still a sect with a long heritage, and the ancestors were proficient in the art of the Inner Dan Fu Seal.

Bi Zhenzhen smiled bitterly: "The inheritance of this sect is a long time ago, and it can even be traced back to before the last Dao Demon War, but Fairy Gu probably also knows that the current immortal cultivation world is withering day by day, and the art of Inner Dan is difficult to survive, but this sect once had an ancient training, so that the heirs could not practice the Wai Dan Fu Seal, so it was one of the top factions in Yunze at the beginning, and then it slowly fell into Dongyang County, and it lost its previous reputation, and then someone put forward a proposal to practice the art of Wai Dan, but the head of the sect at that time, who was my ancestor, did not agree, Slowly there was a dispute, and then the elite in the sect lost six or seven out of ten. At the eastern foot of this mountain, they established the Danxia Eastern Sect, which was later renamed the Danyang faction, and slowly established a prestige in Dongyang County, but the Danxia Sect was so overwhelmed that it could not raise its head. ”

Gu Yan sighed, "Actually, I can probably imagine that the ancestor of your sect, weishenme, would leave this admonition. After all, in today's immortal cultivation world, it seems that the inner and outer pills have long been able to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, but in ancient times, no one in weishenme practiced the art of the outer dan? This and Dan Dao are actually one and two, and two are one. Although the way of cultivating immortals is against the sky, the Dan Dao is the natural way after all, and it can perfectly integrate many materials, rather than simply refining the impurities inside, so as to finally achieve the effect of the unity of heaven and man. Speaking of which, the Dan Dao that is now popular in the world has many fallacies! ”

She remembered the Dan Dao dispute between the Bixia Sect Patriarch and the Danding Sect, and she was moved. In fact, she also knows that in today's immortal cultivation world, if you want to strengthen the sect, then the technique of the outer Dan is undoubtedly better than the inner dan, like the Danxia Eastern faction is now at its peak is a proof. But as a monk who was bent on pursuing the Supreme Dao, she didn't like this kind of law that violated nature, although it could make the strength of the sect improve quickly in the short term, it was obviously not good for the long term. It is precisely because these sects are only trying to survive and have no longer-term vision that the nine major sects can always stand tall and not fall, she smiled and brushed the broken hair on her forehead with her hand, "I'm a little far away, Lord Bi forgive me." ”

Bi Zhenzhen was a little stunned, although she was extremely persistent in her belief in the Danxia Sect, she had never thought about these things as deeply as Gu Yan, and after thinking about her words in her mind, she felt that what she said was really reasonable, and she couldn't help but admire: "No wonder Fairy Gu can be the outer sect elder of the Bixia Sect, and her status is still above that of the Lan seniors, and her insights are really extraordinary." ”

Lan Xiang looked at Gu Yan with a somewhat strange look, "The theory you said is very familiar." Could it be that you really encountered some chance in Bixia Sect and read the true scriptures left by the ancestor back then? ”

Gu Yan smiled, she hadn't had time to mention the Dan Dao on the Jiuzhi Ding, she hadn't had time to mention it to Lan Xiang, when she was in the Bixia Sect, because those people's cultivation realm was too low to understand this kind of Dan Dao, so she didn't teach it, but she had already met Lan Xiang, and if she met Lan Xiang, she would teach her the Dan Dao science engraved on the Jiuzhi Ding, which could be regarded as repaying the Bixia Patriarch and Rong Lao's teaching to her.

Bi Zhenzhen looked at Gu Yan, but suddenly had a strange idea in her heart, but she hadn't announced it for a while, at this time Gu Yan didn't want to mention it anymore, she sighed indiscriminately, which caused many associations among these people, so she said: "Let's talk about the matter of the master of Bimen." In fact, although you have demon insects attached to you, you can't burn them with real fire, but there is no way to get rid of them. ”

The girl standing next to Bi Zhenzhen easily found an opportunity to interject, "Then what should I do?" She had always been concerned about Master's injury, but the three seniors in front of her were talking and talking about going elsewhere, so she was in a hurry to stomp her feet there but couldn't help it, and then she finally found an opportunity to interject.

Bi Zhenzhen glanced at her with disgust, asked her not to interrupt Gu Yan's words, and then said: "Originally, I didn't have much hope for the sick body, but if Senior Gu has a way, please don't hesitate to give advice." ”

Gu Yan said: "Since it's too late to remove it with the fire spirit now, then we can only fight poison with poison!" She saw that everyone's faces showed puzzlement, so she said, "This kind of demon insect, in itself, is not very powerful, there are natural enemies in nature, as long as you take out a kind of eggs of its natural enemies, value into your meridians, and wait for it to swallow the white cicada, and then use real fire to remove the eggs in your body, then the injury will heal naturally." ”

When the girl heard this, she finally heard the method of curing the wound, and her face suddenly showed joy, "Then where are you going to find this poisonous insect?" ”

Gu Yan spread his hands, "I don't know about this, I just read it in the classics, there is a demon insect called the Red Refining Spider, which is the natural enemy of this white cicada, but I don't know where to look for it, to be honest, like this white cicada, I have traveled all over the country, and I have been outside the vast sea, and it is the first time I have seen it." If my estimation is correct, there shouldn't be this kind of demon insect infested in Dongyang County, right? ”

Bi Zhenzhen nodded, "I've never heard the name of this demon insect before, if it was in this mountain, I would have heard some news." ”

Gu Yan said: "So I have to ask Master Bimen, where did you encounter this demon insect?" Generally, this kind of monster that gathers the aura of heaven and earth, where it haunts, must have something corresponding to restrain it. ”

Bi Zhenzhen smiled bitterly: "This is what I was going to say to the two seniors before. The cause of my injury is also related to the Danxia Eastern faction on the other side of the mountain. She took a deep breath before she recounted the events of the day.

The two Danxia factions are in this mountain, and in the past hundreds of years, they have been peaceful, but with the Danxia Eastern faction changing its name to the Danyang faction, it seems that it has received some other help, shili began to slowly swell, and it is also considered a leading faction in Dongyang County, and Yunze has a reputation in the country, and slowly it is unwilling to lie dormant in the eastern foothills, and begins to covet this cave of Danxia Honzong.

At this time, although the Danxia Sect declined, Bi Zhenzhen also knew that he was not the kind of Zhongxing figure who could turn the tide, but he would not be willing to give up the location of the sect, the two sides had a few fierce disputes because of this matter, and when Bi Zhenzhen's master was still alive, there was a fight.

Later, Bi Zhenzhen succeeded to the position of the head, and the two sides had another dispute, and Ge Yun, the head of the Danyang faction, came to the door because of this matter, and asked her to hand over the mountain gate very bluntly. Bi Zhenzhen was because of this matter, he had to go to the Central Plains to seek help, and then finally found a powerful person and asked him to solve the problem for both sides, and then Ge Yun agreed to temporarily stop fighting, and Bi Zhenzhen also devoted himself to practicing here, and a few years ago, by chance, he finally formed a golden pill. This made all the disciples of the Danxia Sect rejoice, so that the Danxia Sect would no longer be in danger of being removed from the big competition in a few years, and the sect would be able to keep it.
