Chapter 156: Two Three Elders?
Hongjun didn't say anything, these things should be discussed by the high-level of the Xuanmen, his attitude was more detached, and he was also a little embarrassed in the Xuanmen, as a registered disciple of the layman, but it played a pivotal role, but Hongjun was strange that in the past, the head of the family came in person, why did he change the three elders today.
At this time, the third elder continued, "Hongjun, the time we have been together is not short, I have an idea here, you, please refer to it... ”
Seeing Hongjun nodded, the three elders said again, "Those ordinary disciples, let them continue to practice, as for those things to prepare for war, you also know that one Da Luo Jin Immortal is enough to deal with a lot of true immortals, so let those Da Luo Jin Immortals under your name suffer, take turns to guard the mountain gate, okay?" In this way, once the other party comes to attack, Da Luo Jin Immortal can also resist for a while, which is enough for those disciples to react."
"This is naturally no problem" After Hongjun finished speaking, he asked Bai Xi to call those Da Luo Jin Immortals in, and said to the women who slipped away, "From today on, you will take over the defense of Xuanmen, focusing on defending against possible attacks on Shushan, one day per person, take turns on duty, remember not to slack off"
After those few people retreated, the third elder stood up and arched his hands: "Great, great, I'll thank Hongjun for those disciples!" ”
Finally, the two exchanged a few more polite words, and the elder took his leave without lingering too long.
After the Third Elder left, Taishang's figure flashed, and he tilted his head and thought about it, and said with some uncertainty, "This Third Elder, have I seen it before?" ”
"That's natural, didn't you talk to them because of Xuantong before I came here?"
“。。。 Lord, may... I'm a little unsure, but the three elders seem to ... It seems that a few days ago I went to the underworld to gather the news... Taishang frowned and said.
"What did you say?" Hongjun stood up with a snort, staring at Taishang's eyes and said urgently.
"Lord, is this third elder very important?"
Hongjun took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the door, and whispered to Taishang, "Go and check, if you have seen him in the underworld, then who is that person just now?" ”
"Yes, Lord, I'll leave now" After saying that, the figure disappeared in place, and Hongjun stood there without moving for a long time.
Two days later, the exact news came.
The three elders of the Xuanmen are indeed in the underworld now, which can only mean that the three elders have died, Hongjun was silent after hearing this, and after a long while, he said, "Bring him to me." ”
"This... Lord, this may not be easy to achieve, this soul state of the creature can not appear in the normal world, occasionally through some places where the energy is relatively weak, but the energy density here is a few points higher than the ordinary place, once the three elders of the soul state appear here, they will be destroyed. Taishang explained.
"In that case, then take me over to meet him, I have something to ask him," Hongjun said firmly.
"Alright then, shall we leave now?" Taishang saw Hongjun nodding, and began to lead the way.
The two of them hid and got up, and after coming to the outside of the mountain gate, they flew quickly to the southwest, and in less than half a day, they came to a place where the hillside was lined up, and the two landed in a pavilion located on the mountainside, Taishang turned around and said respectfully to Hongjun, "Please wait for the Lord to bring him over from my side"
"Just take him alone, I don't want to see the people over there, everything is up to you."
"Thank You, Lord"
After speaking, Taishang's figure gradually began to fade, and after a few seconds, it disappeared in place, Hongjun waited here for more than ten minutes, and then he noticed a slight energy fluctuation beside him, as if something was passing through some kind of viscous barrier, in a blink of an eye, the two figures began to condense, Taishang's figure gradually returned to an ordinary appearance, and the figure next to him was a faint translucent soul state.
"Third Elder, what the hell is going on?"
The figure in the soul state didn't seem to have figured out the situation yet, first looked at the surrounding environment, and then put his eyes on Hongjun, as if his eyes were adjusting the focus, he was stupid, and after a while, he raised his head slightly, and it seemed that Hongjun should be recognized at this time.
"Hongjun, are you also dead? Alas, it's really a misfortune for the teacher... ”
"Third Elder, tell me what happened first? How did you die? Who the hell hurt you? ”
The soul seemed to take a nap, and suddenly woke up and said, "It's the second child, he actually learned evil arts, that night he used the excuse to ask me to drink, in order to stabilize him, I agreed, on the way he suddenly took out a magic weapon that looked like a mirror, well, in the mirror I saw myself and another ethereal figure, the next second, I was like being kicked out of that body, and the next thing, it was to come to this world... Hey? Why? Why is your body as physical as this immortal? ”
When the soul of the third elder spoke, Hongjun's brows were tightly furrowed, and after hearing his question, he smiled slightly and said, "It was this immortal who told me the news that you are in the underworld, I asked this immortal to have today's meeting, time is pressing, third elder, do you have anything unfinished?" Tell me I'll help you get it done."
The soul of the third elder lowered his head and thought for a while, and said softly, "As a cultivator, I have no father or mother for a long time, and I have no descendants, you just need to report this matter to the master, and everything is up to him." ”
Hongjun nodded slowly, glanced at Taishang, and Taishang said, "Okay, Third Elder, it's almost time, I'll take you back, you have done good deeds in your life and never done evil, I believe you will be reincarnated into a good family." ”
After Taishang returned to the underworld with the three elders, Hongjun flew in the direction of Xuanmen alone, his mood was very heavy, he originally wanted to keep the second elder as a chess piece, which could have a surprising effect at a critical time, but unexpectedly the third elder lost his life in vain.
Remembering that in this Xuanmen, the first person to come into contact with Hongjun was the three elders, although the relationship is not very close, but Hongjun has always regarded him as a respectable old man, but now he is a unique man. Hongjun decided to return to Xuanmen and discussed with the head of the sect, not only to remove the second elder, but he even had to lead people to kill Shushan to comfort the spirit of the third elder in the sky.
When he returned to Xuanmen, it was already the next day, and when he was on the way, Hongjun summoned the three Taishang and their apprentices, and even issued an order to the Qinglong Xuanwu Vermilion Bird White Tiger, asking them to rush to the designated place within a time limit.
When Hongjun appeared in Xuanmen again, he took the initiative to find the head Guangyuan for the first time, and Hongjun said with a heavy face.
"Master, according to reliable information, the Third Elder had already assassinated the Second Elder a few days ago."
The head Guangyuan was also quite surprised by Hongjun's arrival, and he remembered that this was the first time he came to find him, and hurriedly asked people to set up tea, but he was surprised by the first sentence that the other party said. He knocked down the teacup in his hand by mistake, looked at Hongjun's eyes incredulously, and said after a long time, "But... The three elders, he was still yesterday... ”
Hongjun directly interrupted him and said, "That's a stand-in, the real Third Elder is indeed gone." ”
The head Guangyuan lowered his head and stared at the broken teacup on the ground, his brows furrowed, and he whispered in his mouth, "Second brother, he... It turned out to be what it is now... Ay... I thought that the brothers who started a business together at the beginning will now secretly poison them... What's going on in this world... ”
"Is it possible that the Second Elder has always been a traitor hiding in our sect?" Hongjun didn't know what to say, so he only asked this sentence after thinking about it for a long time.
The head Guangyuan lowered his head and thought about it, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, back then, our like-minded brothers really couldn't get used to Xuanzong's attitude towards female cultivators, and before the second elder, there was a good Taoist couple, and later he was... At that time, an elder of Xuanzong tossed people who were not ghosts or ghosts, and it has been a hundred years now, it is really... It is easy to be poor and cheap, but it is difficult to be rich and rich. ”
The head Guangyuan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, clasped his hands and said, "The second child can't stay, maybe it's the next one's turn... ”
Seeing that Hongjun nodded, the head Guangyuan asked Hongjun Jiang Tianyun Tianqing to bring them, and when the time came, they would ambush behind the main hall in case things changed, and then the head Guangyuan would notify the elders to go to the main hall to discuss matters.
It didn't take long for us to walk in one by one, and we didn't have too many surprised expressions when we saw Hongjun in the main hall, after all, Hongjun's status was relatively special in this Xuanmen, and he had rejected the suggestion of serving as an elder, so everyone smiled at him.
After all the seven elders were seated, the head Guangyuan was waiting outside the door, and suddenly the second elder's face was a little uncomfortable, his buttocks writhed uneasily, and his eyes couldn't stop sweeping over the faces of the head Guangyuan and Hongjun.
The scene was silent for a while, and then the head Guangyuan sighed deeply.
"Remember, what was the original intention of us to break away from our original sects and jointly create this Xuanmen?"
"Of course, I remember that we created this Xuanmen in order to allow male and female monks to have an equal status, no longer judge a person's character and strength according to the level of the realm, and to provide a platform for all inspirational cultivators without oppression and fraud." The Great Elder said in a high-pitched voice with an excited face, and the others also nodded in agreement.
