178. Infighting
Half an hour later, the three of them stepped into a spacious underground hall.
The mutation of the four camps made the surviving monks either hide in the mountains or in the caves like the ancient people who drank blood. There was no way, they were few and lonely, unable to build a city, and the disappearance of Yuanying and Jiedan monks made them like rats, so they could only hide in Tibet.
Lingyu felt several gazes fall on her.
The cave was built by them very spacious, and they arranged exquisite formations, and there was a faint aura. There are no spiritual veins here, and where there are spiritual veins, all kinds of demonic cultivators who are sensitive to spiritual energy will be attracted, and it is not suitable for establishing a stronghold. This ordinary cave without spiritual veins can gather so much spiritual energy, it is already rare, and Yuyang Mountain has a natural formation, but it is nothing more than that.
In the hall of the ground, there were more than a dozen monks sitting or standing, and they were clearly divided into three factions. The Jiyi Sect and the Zhenhua Immortal Sect each had five or six monks, and the other three monks obviously didn't want to get involved in their affairs, so they were far away.
Seeing them come in, the eyes of the Zhenhua Immortal Gate lit up, and they came forward, some people called Senior Brother Deng, some people called Senior Brother Du, and some female cultivators enthusiastically pulled Lingyu and accosted her.
If it weren't for knowing the character of the Zhenhua Immortal Sect, Lingyu almost thought that they were really hospitable. However, looking at the provocative eyes they looked at Ji Yizong from time to time, he knew that she was just a bargaining chip.
Most of the cultivators of the Extreme Intention Sect had a bad face, snorted, and turned their heads silently.
After some introduction, a female cultivator volunteered to take Lingyu to rest.
Lingyu paid attention to it. In this small cave, there were six monks. Descriptions vary. Two of them were disciples of the Zhenhua Immortal Sect. The other four were probably helpers they had hired.
As a stronghold, this place is certainly not comparable to Yuyang Mountain, but the strict formation arrangement makes up for the shortcomings. Even if there is no possibility of cooperation, maybe you can exchange a set of formations with them, Tu Qiurong is not a formation mage who specializes in formations.
"This fellow Daoist." Not long after he sat down, a monk in the early stage of foundation building came over with a smile.
This monk's appearance is very tender, and his face is only seventeen or eighteen, which is not handsome. But it's very pleasing, the eyes are rolling and it looks clever.
Lingyu moved back: "Is there something wrong with the master?" ”
"Don't dare to call a master!" The monk hurriedly waved his hand, "The poor monk is called Yuan Xiu, if you are polite, call me Yuan Xiu, and call the monk directly at will." ”
"Yuan Xiu?" Lingyu looked at the monk's gaze and suddenly became vigilant, "Master Yuanxiu was born in Guanhui Temple?" ”
"Fellow Daoists have heard of it?" Yuan Xiu was surprised, "The poor monk is unknown in the sect, I didn't expect anyone to recognize it." ”
If it weren't for the two monks of Guanhui Temple who said indignantly that it was not the Yuan Xiu, Lingyu would probably have thought that it was. This monk has a kind attitude and interesting words.
“…… Before going down in Hakuro-an. Of course, I've heard of the name of Master Yuanshu. ”
Yuan Xiu's face was slightly pale, and he touched his bald head embarrassedly: "Daoyou is talking about the battle merit list, right?" It's just a fluke, and it can't be true. ”
His demeanor didn't seem to be fake, which almost made Lingyu suspect, was it those two monks who were jealous? But looking at the smile that flashed on the lips of Monk Yuanxiu, he was uncertain.
Forget it, if it's really like what the monks said, this Yuan Xiu is very good at acting. A Buddhist cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, actually occupying the first place in the battle merit list, is an incredible thing in itself, to say that Yuan Xiu didn't play any tricks, she really doesn't believe it.
Well, speaking of which, isn't she acting herself? Then it's time to act!
Thinking like this in her heart, Lingyu smiled at Yuan Xiu with a subtle and distanced smile, and showed just the right amount of envy: "Master Yuan Xiu is too polite, the first place on the battle merit list, how can it be just a fluke?" It's not even on the list! ”
"Haha, the first place and the hundredth place are only five hundred battles, if you are lucky, it is just a task, if you are not on the list, how can it represent strength." Yuan Xiu asked sincerely, "I don't know the name of Yougao?" We used to fight the enemy together in Bailu'an, and we were fated. ”
"Under ...... Cheng Junying. The corners of Lingyu's mouth twitched, and it was a little unacceptable to be looked at by a monk with such innocent eyes.
"It turned out to be Cheng Daoyou, looking at the appearance of Daoyou, it doesn't seem to be a loose cultivator, I don't know what sect or sect it comes from?"
"It's really a casual ...... below"
"Really? Oops, Daoist friends are sword cultivators, right? Tsk, it seems to be very powerful, a high-level spiritual weapon? ”
"Where, if you can upgrade the Natal Spirit Sword to a high level, it's just a fluke......"
One was very kind and warm, the other was very polite and polite, and they soon became "familiar" -- at least on the surface.
Half a day has passed, and the two are already transmitting sound.
Yuan Xiu said: "They invited Taoist friends to come, what is the price?" To be honest, the poor monk is not very satisfied! The people of Zhenhua Xianmen are not gentlemen, and it will not be good if they rely on the account......"
Lingyu replied: "What Daoyou said, the people of Zhenhua Immortal Sect won't be so shameless, right?" ”
"Hey!" Yuan Xiu raised his eyebrows and squeezed his eyes, "Will we wait and see?" If we really deny it, we can't consider ourselves unlucky. ”
"What does you mean by this......"
Yuan Xiu looked left and right with his eyebrows: "Do you still need to say it......"
Lingyu saw the other three monks throwing in their knowing eyes, and he realized. This Yuan Cultivation is really powerful, and in such a short time, it has unified all the outsiders. She had no doubt that if the Zhenhua Immortal Sect really did something, Yuan Xiu would definitely push them out, and she would make waves in the back, so that she could pick up benefits without having to come out. She really shouldn't underestimate this monk.
After sitting for a while, a communication talisman flew outside, and two disciples of the Zhenhua Immortal Sect took it, their faces changed slightly, and they got up and said, "A few fellow Daoists, please come with us." ”
Here it comes! Everyone was in good spirits, and they followed closely behind and came to the hall of the ground.
In the underground hall, the number of people has more than doubled, and the few idle people who are unwilling to mix have withdrawn, and more than 30 people are divided into two groups to confront each other.
There are thirteen people in the Zhenhua Immortal Sect, plus five of their helpers, a total of eighteen people. There are slightly more disciples of the Extreme Yi Sect, there are fifteen, but there are only two helpers, a total of seventeen people. Seventeen to eighteen, the number of people is equal, and the gap in cultivation is not obvious, accounting for two-thirds in the early stage and one-third in the middle stage.
As time went on, more monks trapped in the coastal battlefield fell in the early stages than in the middle period, which greatly reduced the number of early monks who were already much larger than in the middle period.
The leader of the Zhenhua Immortal Sect was that Deng Jing, and his cultivation was second to none among the mid-stage monks. The leading monk of the Extreme Yi Sect, named Zhang Linguang, is also in the middle stage of foundation building, slightly older than Deng Jing, not as domineering as him, but more stable, and should be an experienced old monk.
These are all said by Yuan Xiu, and I don't know where he came up with so much information.
"Deng Daoyou, we have been partners for more than half a year, even if we don't say some things, we understand in our hearts, it's better to end it all at once?" Zhang Linguang is slow and reasonable.
Deng Jing grinned, with a bold and chic appearance: "Look at what Zhang Daoyou said, in the past six months, if we hadn't cooperated sincerely, how could we be today?" How many fellow Daoists have been wiped out by demon cultivators, and it is really not easy for us to survive so many Daoists. ”
Zhang Linguang laughed with him, laughed, and his face sank: "Deng Jing, it's boring to talk like this." If you want to break up the gang, let's follow the rules, we have always acted simply, what to do, just one word! ”
Deng Jing slowly put away his smile, and his eyes sank: "Have you thought about it?" ”
"If we don't think about it, won't you do that?" Zhang Linguang's mocking gaze swept over Lingyu and the others, "Otherwise, what are you doing in a hurry to pull people in?" Hum! In the past, when Senior Brother Shen was here, he wanted to join the organization, and he had to ask more than half of the people to agree, but now it's good, you guys brought people here directly! ”
"Well said!" Deng Jing clapped his palm, "Senior Brother Shen was here in the past...... As you know, this is not the same as it was in the past. At that time, Shen Lei relied on his strength to be stronger than us, how much advantage did he take? Let us go if there is danger, and you will enjoy it. Now that Shen Lei is gone, should you spit out what you eat? ”
"Hah!" Zhang Linguang said gloomily, "Senior Brother Shen has protected you many times!" Our stronghold was destroyed for the first time, if it weren't for Senior Brother Shen, would we be able to escape? Later, the two of you were chased and killed by demon cultivators, and you almost couldn't escape, wasn't it Senior Brother Shen's move? He's the leader, he's done the duty of the leader, and these things deserve it! ”
"Don't say it so nicely." Deng Jing glanced at the two fellow disciples he pointed out, "It seems that Shen Lei made a move to save them, could it be that among the people in distress, there are no people from your Extreme Yi Sect?" Besides, shouldn't he, as the leader, protect us? When he was alive, he gained more than us, and we recognized it, but now that he is dead, why are you still domineering? ”
"Where are we not going to put it?" Zhang Linguang said angrily, "That was left to us by Senior Brother Shen!" ”
"Don't say it so reasonably, is that Shen Lei's thing? This is the trophy of our organization! It was Shen Lei who relied on his identity as the leader and had to keep it by himself! Now that the gang is going to be dismantled, shouldn't it be taken out? Deng Jing said, turned his head and winked.
The disciples of the Zhenhua Immortal Sect understood and shouted: "That's right, it's not Shen Lei's thing at all!" ”
The disciple of the Extreme Yi Sect was furious: "Nonsense! At that time, we all said that the things would be distributed by the chief! ”
"You also said that it was distributed, not owned by him! It's something for all of us! ”
“……”
The two sides chatted and soon quarreled.
Lingyu quietly took a half step back, stood at the back of the queue, and clenched the Kanli Sword in her hand. She's just a helper, and she can't put herself in the middle of the vortex.
Who knew that someone had the same idea as her, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw Yuan Xiu winking at her.
"Cheng Daoyou, what do you think?" Yuanxiu transmits sounds.
"Yes, of course...... It's time to save your life. Lingyu moved her fingers without a trace, confirming that the spirit runes prepared in advance were well hidden in her sleeve. (To be continued.) )
