Chapter 9: The Four Sects Rush to Zhenlong Mountain

Li Jinghong stretched his body, jumped into the backyard, and came to the backyard again.

I saw that the white ape had already woken up, and was standing outside the courtyard at this time, looking into the distance.

Li Jinghong squinted his eyes and also looked into the distance, only to see a black shadow swimming quickly towards this side, and everywhere he passed, the trees were destroyed.

"I'll go, that damn python is looking for trouble again, big white ......"

Before Li Jinghong's words were finished, the mountain-moving giant ape already had a heart, and its body suddenly skyrocketed several times, and then rushed in the direction of the giant python.

It didn't take long for the two Jindan Realm demons to fight again.

"Sizzle, sizzle......"

Li Jinghong came back to his senses and found that countless flower snakes had gathered outside the courtyard.

"Hey, it's time to send the experience again, I like it. ”

Li Jinghong took out the Taibai Immortal Sword from the storage panel and strode towards the courtyard.

On the official road, a group of four people rode a jujube red horse, day and night, and finally entered Yunzhong County, where Zhenlong Mountain is located, at dawn.

"Lord Li, we will be able to reach Zhenlong Mountain in half a day, this side is not as desolate as the capital, and the wind and sand are big, you can wait a little longer. ”

The person who spoke was an old man in a gray robe, named Xu Cheng, about fifty years old, his hair and beard were gray, but his eyes were bright and sharp.

Like Zhao Gan, who looked like a swinger brother behind him, Xu Cheng's clothes were also decorated with eagle patterns.

It's just that the eagle behind Zhao Qian is sewn with ordinary silk thread, while Xu Cheng's is sewn with gold thread.

The levels of the two are clear at a glance.

Even so, Xu Cheng still had to respectfully call the person next to him, 'Master Li'.

You must know that Xu Cheng is one of the six eagle heads in the Eagle House, although his official position is only equivalent to the third rank, but on weekdays, he doesn't even pay attention to the second rank of the imperial court.

Just because the Eagle House is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, if Xu Cheng is the second-in-command of the Eagle House, then the dignified Emperor of Northern Confucianism is the first leader of the Eagle House.

There is a monarch as a backer, who dares to offend?

Maybe one day, because of a certain gossip, the official position will be lost, and even the whole house will be beheaded.

Throughout the history of Northern Confucianism, there are countless such examples.

And the 'Master Li' beside Xu Cheng is just the deputy head of the Ministry of Rites.

In terms of official positions, the squire of the Ministry of Rites and the head of the eagle are at the same level, and they are both from the third grade.

But Xu Cheng knew better than anyone that although this Li Shilang was only the deputy governor of the Ministry of Rites, he was more trusted by the emperor than the chief officer, Lord Shangshu.

This time, the old emperor personally assigned Li Shilang to go to Zhenlongshan on an errand, which is a good example.

Although the geographical location of Zhenlong Mountain is very remote, only a line away from the northern wilderness, its status is very special.

The Northern Confucian Kingdom was founded for hundreds of years, and has always followed the ancestral teachings, from the royal family and nobles, down to the common people of Limin, they are not allowed to set foot in Zhenlong Mountain for half a step.

Even the immortal sect on the mountain, if they want to visit Zhenlong Mountain, they need to get the nod and consent of the imperial court, otherwise they will be against the entire Northern Confucian Kingdom.

Because of this, although the God Slaughter Sect is the head of the ten major demon sects of the Northern Confucian Kingdom, it has always stood tall.

Otherwise, even if the old sect master of the God Slayer Sect was a great cultivator of the Flying Ascension Realm, he would not be able to withstand the endless harassment of other monks, and the ants would bite the elephant to death, and this is the truth.

It's just that with the ascension of the old sect master Chen Taibai, the status of Zhenlong Mountain suddenly became precarious.

The old emperor sent Li Shilang to Zhenlongshan this time, just to let him settle the matter completely.

"Xu Yingshou, have there ever been spy reports related to Zhenlong Mountain?"

Li Shilang turned a deaf ear to Xu Cheng's kind reminder just now, but he didn't take a stand and spoke very politely.

Li Shilang's real name is Li Jingsi, and the two words of meditation are taken from the sentence "the desire to dispel the ears and eyes, the sound of gnats and flies, and the quiet meditation is clear", which can be described as well-intentioned.

Li Jingsi was born poor in his early years, and his parents dealt with crops all day long, but they never treated their children badly, even if they borrowed money, they had to let him go to the village school to study.

Because of this experience, Li Jingsi studied very weekdays, and at night the family could not afford to use the candlestick, so she went outside the house to borrow the moonlight to read, and the family could not afford to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so she took dry branches to practice calligraphy on the sand.

The hard work paid off, and Li Jingsi obtained the status of a talent in the first college examination.

After that, in the township test, the meeting test and the palace test, Li Jingsi was connected to the three yuan, which became a beautiful talk in the capital at that time.

The old emperor Zhao Yan valued this scholar very much, first let him practice in the household department for a few years, and then he was exceptionally promoted to the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he was promoted several levels in a row, and was envied by countless people.

According to the grapevine, the old emperor intended to let this Li Shilang go one step further and take charge of the entire ministry, specifically responsible for the promotion and punishment of all officials in the imperial court.

Therefore, even if Xu Cheng was one of the five eagle heads in the Eagle House, he would not dare to easily offend this Li Shilang, who was at the same level as himself.

Hearing Li Jingsi's question, Xu Cheng hurriedly replied: "Since Chen Lao Sword Immortal soared, many immortal sects are ready to move, wanting to go to Zhenlong Mountain to get a piece of the pie, but because of the power of our Northern Confucian Kingdom, they didn't dare to act rashly, but I received news from my subordinates last night, and there are still several groups of people rushing to Zhenlong Mountain like us." ”

Li Jingsi immediately became interested, turned her head and asked, "Oh, what is the origin of these people?"

This question is not difficult for Xu Cheng, who is the head of the eagle.

As the largest spy department in the Northern Confucian Kingdom, the Eagle House is the best at collecting all kinds of intelligence, and there are eleven large and small counties in the Northern Confucian Kingdom, and almost every place has a subordinate agency of the Eagle House.

Before leaving the capital, Xu Chengcheng had already instructed him to submit all the spy reports about Zhenlong Mountain to him every half a day.

So in the face of Li Jingsi's question, he quickly answered.

"There are at least four groups of these people, namely Wei Huan of the Extreme Happiness Sect of Donghai County, Nangong Yu of the Ziwei Sect of Julu County, Zhou Cheng of the Lingquan Sect of Hedong County, and Lu Jianping of the Shujian Sect of Langya County......"

Li Jingsi frowned, "The first three sects are all the top ten demon sects on the list of our Northern Confucian Kingdom, and it is not uncommon for them to come to Zhenlongshan to snatch the spiritual vein, but this Shujian Sect of Langya County, as an orthodox immortal sect, why did they also come to this troubled water?"

The large and small immortal sects of the Northern Confucian Kingdom, whether it is the authentic sect or the demon sect, the Eagle House has detailed records, and even who the founding ancestor of each sect is, it is clear in the archives.

Xu Cheng was silent for a moment, feeling that there was no need to hide anything from Li Jingsi in this kind of matter, otherwise he would offend this Li Shilang, and there would definitely be no good fruit to eat in the future.

So he took the reins in his hand, so that the horse and Li Jingsi were closer, and then whispered: "Lord Li, although the God Slaughter Sect is the first demon sect in the Northern Confucian Kingdom, its founding ancestor Chen Taibai, thousands of years ago, was the most orthodox Confucian monk, and then for some reason betrayed Confucianism and set up his own door in Zhenlong Mountain. ”

Li Jingsi sneered, looked into the distance, and muttered to himself: "Heh, it is said that Confucian monks are the most reasonable, why is it unreasonable this time? Is bullying an unguarded God Slaughter Sect considered a gentleman's behavior?"
