Even Zong Hai did not hesitate to take the situation of several sects that might become enemies in this crystal vein battle. Even Mo Wen, who had just mentioned these sects, was sideways.
"It seems that this Eagle Hall has really not been rebuilt in vain, the value of those fairy crystal flowers. Meng Fei exclaimed on the side: "Only by knowing the other can you fight, even Senior Brother is really amazing, in less than a year, he has already achieved this achievement." ”
Lian Zong Hai shook his head: "It's a pity that the time is too short, and the situation of the surrounding sects can only detect these furs." I believe that their understanding of our Lingxiao will be more detailed. ”
Chang Qingzi nodded: "Senior Brother Lian, this is already very good, at least we know what the strength of the opponent is." He looked at the hall: "Senior brothers, there is no advantage over us in strength now. It's not easy to occupy this crystal vein, do you have any good way?"
Jiang Tai thought for a while: "Senior brother, I still think I should try my method." Even if no one comes to Kongmeng Mountain, you can ask Huang Chengdao to help contact the Huanghuadong Mansion, if you can join forces with the Huang brothers, wouldn't it have a better chance of winning?"
Chang Qingzi looked at Jiang Tai and said with a smile: "Even if the Huang brothers agree to join forces with us, what can they do?
He raised his voice and said: "For hundreds of years, my Lingxiao has been forming an alliance with Kongmeng Mountain, but the so-called alliance just sounds pleasant to the ear, everyone knows it, our Lingxiao has always been driven by others, Kongmeng Mountain refers to the east, Lingxiao can't go west, and even all kinds of business are selected by Kongmengshan before it is our turn." ”
Hearing this, everyone in the hall bowed their heads and said nothing, and Chang Qingzi continued: "All this is because the spirit is weak, and it has become the last stream in the five Xuan Sects. For hundreds of years, Kongmeng Mountain has called my spirit to and fro, without the same attitude as in the past. ”
"Lingxiao is like a subordinate sect of Kongmeng Mountain, even the miscellaneous chores in the sect, Kongmeng Mountain has to point fingers, if it weren't for my cousin who broke through the three realms on the mountain road successfully, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to be the head of this sect. ”
The elders below were also either resentful or helpless when they thought of what happened back then, Chang Qingzi looked at everyone's reactions and continued: "Over the years, Changqing has always wanted to revitalize Lingxiao, reproduce the glory of the lonely patriarch when he founded the sect, and no longer be inferior everywhere, doing that humble thing. Now that my Lingxiao Waterfall is back in people's hearts, everyone is cultivating for the sake of diligence, and there are more rising stars such as Junfeng Xianrong, which can be revitalized in one fell swoop and reverse the decline of my Lingxiao. ”
The elders nodded their heads when they said this, over the years, Lingxiao people have been used to whispering in front of Kongmeng Mountain, and they have all suppressed a belly of fire, but it is easier said than done, Kongmeng Mountain has a long history, and there are countless masters in the door, and they have helped Lingxiao a lot in the past few hundred years.
Chang Qingzi looked at the direction of Kongmeng: "But now is a godsend opportunity for us to turn over." Looking at the puzzled looks of the elders, he smiled slightly.
"This time the matter is a turning point, we have to fight for the crystal vein, and we have to take this opportunity to make Kongmeng Mountain not be able to rely on the grace of the old days and override my spirit again. ”
In the Yangxian Hall, Zhang Zhao looked helpless and told the elders about the disappearance of the Bat King Neidan, and Shu Jiuling thought for a moment: "Maybe the Bat King has just condensed into the Inner Dan, and it will dissipate on its own soon after taking it out." ”
Pang Feiyang nodded: "I think it's the same, a bat king can be worthy of a cultivator of the upper three realms, if it wasn't for the success of Ning Dan just now, it can't be easily killed by you." ”
Zhang Zhao sighed after hearing this, no wonder the large number of immortal crystals in his dream last night suddenly disappeared, it seemed that he was destined to not have this foreign fortune. He remembered the matter of the bells and drums, and asked, "The bells and drums rang out just now, why didn't you go to the main hall to discuss the matter?"
All the elders laughed: "Look at the current situation of our people, if there is no help from others, it will take a lot of effort to get to the main hall, and what face will there be to discuss it." Leng Pingyuan turned his head to look at Pang Feiyang and said, "But Senior Brother Pang should go and see what happened." ”
Pang Feiyang shook his head: "There must be something big with the bells and drums, I think that only this body cultivation can still be used by the sect, and when it comes to strategizing, all the senior brothers are much stronger than me." If there is not enough manpower, the senior brother in charge should come to pass me on. ”
On the Lingxiao Hall, the elders listened to the words of the head of the sect, Qingzi, and felt that he should already have a belly case, and sure enough, he continued: "We will follow what Senior Brother Jiang said, and go to Kongmeng Mountain for help first, and see how they react." Then he sent people to Yunyangling and Fengweitang separately to discuss the matter of joining forces with them. ”
"When Senior Brother Wang went back, he asked the Divine Weapon Pavilion to start work day and night to build crossbow arrows, the more the better, and the weapons and armor should also be prepared. If you don't want to participate in the war, you will never be forced to let them go, and the participants will be allowed to pay for it. ”
He sighed: "My Lingxiao has not been strict in recent years, and it is difficult to ensure that there is no eyeliner from various sects among the disciples. Let's make them think that Lingxiao is going to fight hard this time. ”
Looking at Chang Qingzi below, he said: "Tian Yingxiang and the others are still in the field and have not returned, and when they come back, they will gather here again to discuss when to leave for the crystal vein." ”
"Isn't it too hasty to be in such a hurry?" Mo Wen hesitated a little: "If we press the whole army like this, won't our strength be the first to be wiped out?"
"If I don't move first, the rest of the families will only wait and see, and we will make a decisive gesture so that they will not have a chance to observe the situation carefully. Chang Qingzi calmly analyzed: "What's more, if we rush into the crystal vein first, we will inevitably be defeated and return under the attack of several families." ”
"I know that I am going to lose, why do I have to go first?" Jiang Tai shook his head and asked, "Why don't you wait for them to fight first, and then let's go again?" Mo Wen looked at Chang Qingzi but asked: "Senior Brother in charge means that we will muddy the water first?"
"Not bad. Chang Qingzi said slowly: "If we all wait and see, it is inevitable that there will be some variables, and once someone from their faction joins forces, it will be even more difficult to deal with." ”
"Our disciples will definitely suffer a lot of losses in this battle, and you will go back and tell your disciples that no matter whether you win or lose in the bloody battle, you must try to save your life. Those young people who can survive this battle will be the pillars of my soul in the future. ”
"Let's retreat from defeat, the winning side of the crystal vein is safe and stable, and we will definitely come to Lingxiao to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and then go to Kongmeng for help, with Xiao Hanshan's steady personality, we will definitely stand still, and we will dissolve the alliance and draw the line. ”
"That's right, then let's do our best to win the crystal vein, and Kongmeng Mountain can't come to get a piece of the pie anymore. Mo Wen slapped his thigh and shouted, "Sure enough, it kills two birds with one stone." ”
"It's a big deal, and it's important to be adaptable, so I'll explain it to you in detail when the time comes, so let's go back and prepare now." Chang Qingzi instructed again: "But next time everyone is here, Senior Brother Mo, you have to behave better." ”
Mo Wen smiled: "Don't worry, I know this, otherwise how can I fool those guys who collude with Kongmengshan." ”
The sky in the northeast of Lingxiao flickered, and it had already alarmed the surrounding sects, and they all sent out outposts to investigate the surroundings, and the news was transmitted back to the headquarters one by one.
Lingxiao Tanglin went to Yunyangling and Fengweitang, but both factions reacted coldly and did not agree to join forces with Lingxiao. The spies of the Hall of Thorns stood in front of an old man in gold with thorns embroidered on his chest, reporting the news.
When the gold-clothed old man pondered, someone from outside reported: "Master, someone from Bafang City is asking to see you." The golden-clothed old man waved his hand to let the sentry retreat, and then shouted, "Let him in." ”
The man from Bafang City walked in with a black veil covering his face, and as soon as he entered the hall, the old man in gold stood up and stared at him with a look of surprise: "Zhao Zhan'an, why are you here?"
The man in Bafang City pulled off the black veil, revealing a face full of wrinkles: "Master Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to recognize me at a glance." His eyebrows were raised, the lines on his forehead were straight and deep, and his smile sounded like a few swords shaking over his head.
Xu Yueming, the head of Thorn Ridge, changed his face: "City Lord Zhao, you don't stay in Bafang City, what are you doing here with me?" Zhao Zhan'an didn't wait for him to give up his seat, and sat on the chair opposite him.
Although our two factions are far apart, you and I have several faces, and there is usually no conflict, so I came here in person to talk about cooperation with Master Xu. ”
Xu Yueming slowly sat back in the chair: "What can we work with?" ”
Zhao Zhan'an said with a smile: "Master Xu, although I am a little lazy on weekdays, there is such a big thing as the crystal vein, I still know, the location of this crystal vein is wonderful, isn't the head of Xu not thinking?"
Xu Yueming shook his head: "There are few villains in the Thorn Ridge Sect, so I don't dare to think about anything, City Lord Zhao looks down on us." ”
Zhao Zhan'an smiled: "Master Xu, now all factions are busy looking for relatives and visiting their hometowns, thinking of occupying this crystal vein, didn't Master Xu also send someone to Cuiliu Peak?"
"How do you know?" Xu Yueming looked at Zhao Zhan'an sideways: "City Lord Zhao, it seems that you have set up an eyeliner in my Thorn Ridge." ”
Zhao Zhan'an shook his head: "I don't have that leisure yet, but when I just came from Dou Hai, I heard him talk about it, so I came to talk to you." ”
"You and Dou Hai have joined forces?" Xu Yueming had a nervous expression on his face, and at this time a voice came from behind him: "Dou Hai is a stable person, how can he easily agree, City Lord Zhao must be lobbying on both sides, wanting us to join forces." ”
Zhao Zhan'an laughed: "Brother Guangrui still has vision, that's exactly what I mean, our three factions join forces, each of you has five hundred disciples, and I have one thousand." After occupying the crystal vein, it will be divided into three or three, I don't know what you think?"
Behind Xu Yueming walked out an old man wearing the same golden thorn thorn robe as him, and his appearance was somewhat similar to him, but he was older.
"If Dou Hai agrees, we have no problem with Thorn Ridge, City Lord Zhao has been holding back all these years, and he didn't expect that the crystal vein would appear, so he would have such a reaction, it seems that we people have been deceived by you on weekdays. Xu Guangrui, the Yin Yang Realm Elder of Thorn Ridge, smiled on his face: "We are waiting for the good news of City Lord Zhao." ”
"Brother Guangrui, don't worry, I heard that Lingxiao is also going around to contact people, and they have also been there in the name of Kongmeng Huang Chengdao, but I don't know what the result is. ”
Xu Guangrui laughed and said: "The Huang brothers will definitely not agree, I know a little about them, although Huang Chengdao has the same surname as them, the two families have already parted ways decades ago, and it is rumored that there are some personal feuds, the Huang family brothers are small, and they are used to eating alone, so they will definitely not agree to join forces with Lingxiao." ”
Zhao Zhan'an was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is very good, so that after the three of us join forces, we will be the strongest, I don't know if the Eternal Life Hall will send someone over." ”
Xu Yueming shook his head: "The people we sent said that there was no movement in the Eternal Life Hall, they should have been a hundred miles away from the crystal vein, not to mention that the three of us are united, even if someone from the Eternal Life Hall comes, they will not be able to please them." ”
Zhao Zhan'an nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to Cuiliu Peak again, and then let's prepare our own manpower and set off together." ”
In the back mountain of Lingxiao, Wu Zongting and the others looked at Chang Qingzi, who came alone, with angry faces: "Gu Changqing, what are you doing here?"
Chang Qingzi glanced at it and found that there was one more person, he looked at it and smiled: "Senior Brother Li is actually here, why didn't you see him last time." ”
Li Mengshan smiled bitterly: "I was seriously ill. But Gu Changqing, the relationship between us is not so good, can you have something to say, your appearance makes me feel very uncomfortable. ”
The bald old man surnamed Qi also shouted: "This time you didn't even bring Gu Qianzhong with you, is it really because we are weak and can be bullied, and we dare not do anything with you?"
Chang Qingzi smiled: "The last time I saw a few senior brothers, Changqing thought that he would not come to disturb a few Qing Xiu again, and the grudges accumulated for decades will not be eliminated, so let's forget about the old age." ”
He looked at a few people with a somewhat puzzled expression and muttered: "But right now, Lingxiao has a big matter, Changqing thought about it and thought about it, and still felt that it would be safer to let a few people help." ”
Wu Zongting and the others looked strange, and their eyes were full of ridicule when they looked at Chang Qingzi: "Gu Changqing, it seems that you are really old and a little confused, do you think we will help you?"
"We are not interested in anything other than watching you die before our eyes. The old man surnamed Feng with a yellow face said with a resentful look: "Maybe I'm really old, if you stood in front of me like this twenty years ago, I would have rushed up and killed you." ”
Wu Zongting waved his hand: "Gu Changqing, we are not even interested in listening, you should leave quickly, so as not to recall the past for a while, and you will not be able to leave." ”
Chang Qingzi's feet did not move at all: "Senior brothers, don't you want to return to Lingxiao?"
When Wu Zongting and the others looked at each other when they heard this, their eyes were full of surprise, and the old man surnamed Gao shook the flower-like hair on his head, and asked with a suspicious look on his face: "Gu Changqing, are you here to tease a few of us? Back then, we were expelled from the mountain gate and never returned, why did you suddenly bring up this matter now?"
Chang Qingzi briefly said about the crystal veins in the northeast of Lingxiao: "That's it, although a few senior brothers have lived in seclusion behind this mountain for many years, their cultivation is profound, if a few agree to help, my Lingxiao will naturally have a great chance of winning." ”
"I'll just say that you didn't have a good heart, fighting for the crystal vein is a fatal matter, Gu Changqing, aren't you clearly asking us to send us to death?"
The two were only two feet apart, and the knife light flashed in front of Chang Qingzi, Chang Qingzi's face remained unchanged, seeing that the light knife was about to fall on his shoulder, Wu Zongting returned his hand and slapped it lightly on the wrist of the old man surnamed Qi, and the light knife suddenly dissipated.
"Senior Brother Wu, what are you doing? Why don't you let me kill him?" The old man surnamed Qi jumped to his feet again and again: "He can't be a fool when he treats us, who will go to sell his life to him?"
Wu Zongting looked at Chang Qingzi and said, "Senior Brother Qi, since Gu Changqing dares to come here alone, he must have calculated his conditions, and we can accept it." I'm also curious how he can move a few of us. ”
The old man surnamed Feng on the side also shouted: "Yes, let's hear what he thinks." ”
Chang Qingzi saw their actions and was even more confident: "A few senior brothers, putting aside the things back then, your family has lived in seclusion here for many years, and it must be difficult to give up Lingxiao in your heart, otherwise even if you don't rob and kill my Lingxiao disciples outside like Sun Hu and others, you will already go down the mountain to enjoy Qingfu." ”
When the old man surnamed Sun, who was wearing hair and a thin face, heard this, he asked, "Why are Sun Hu still enemies with Lingxiao?"
Chang Qingzi nodded: "The descendants of several elders who were killed in front of the main hall colluded with bandits, and many Lingxiao disciples have been injured over the years. Most of them were wiped out by us, and Sun Hu was nowhere to be found. ”
The old man surnamed Sun was Sun Hu's cousin, and he sighed silently when he heard this. Chang Qingzi continued: "Although a few people only cared about having fun and didn't ask about business, they didn't have any great evil. After decades of penance here, he has suffered a lot of sins, and it is not difficult to understand that he has a grudge against Changqing. ”
He pointed to the flat ground with his hand: "That day, I heard Senior Brother Wu say the words of several uncles when they left, although Changqing has some concern, but the door rules are limited, even if I am the head, I am powerless to change it." ”
"Now that the crystal vein has appeared, it is a good thing for my Lingxiao, but how can it not be for a few senior brothers? Of course, the battle of the crystal vein is extremely dangerous, and a few of them must not want to see my Lingxiao faction disappear from this five mysteries from now on. Why don't you take this opportunity to return to your master's gate and fight against a strong enemy with us, and also repay the last wishes of a few uncles?"
Wu Zongting and the others were thoughtful, and Changqingzi struck while the iron was hot and said: "At the end of this battle, as long as Lingxiao still exists, Changqing will carry out the gift of the younger generation, take the families of several senior brothers to the Changxi Forest Burial, and set up a monument to engrave the inscription." A few senior brothers can re-enter my Lingxiao Pavilion, rank seniority, and accept apprentices to teach art. ”
Wu Zongting and the others were silent, and Changqingzi added: "If a few senior brothers doubt my intentions, Changqing can give you another promise, if you agree to help, it is completely up to a few people to get out of the Lingxiao Mountain Gate, even if they sit on the mountain to keep safe, it is also an immortal contribution to my Lingxiao." ”
"Don't even have to go out of the mountain gate?" the old man surnamed Gao squinted his eyes and said, "Then there is such a good thing?" Gu Changqing, no matter how I hear it, I think you have some conspiracy. ”
Chang Qingzi said with a smile: "Even if there is any strategy, it is used to deal with my Lingxiao's enemy, several senior brothers have been here for many years, and the foreign enemy does not know the existence of my Lingxiao, if the strange soldiers are outstanding, they will definitely be able to attack them unprepared." ”
Wu Zongting looked back at several old men, seeing that their eyes were full of expectation, he looked back at Chang Qingzi and sighed: "Gu Changqing, you really guessed our thoughts, you obviously know that you are using a few of us, but how can we refuse such conditions?"
He exhaled heavily and calmed down: "Okay, a few of us will promise you, even if you fight for these old lives, you will return to Lingxiao, and repay the wishes of our elders." ”
"Say, when, where are we going?" The old man surnamed Feng looked at Chang Qingzi and was still angry in his heart: "Anyway, we are not your opponent in our scheming." ”
"Not yet, a few senior brothers are still meditating here these days, and they can't reveal any news. When needed, Changqing will come to inform a few people. After speaking, Changqingzi nodded and turned to leave.
"Senior Brother Wu, did you say that Gu Changqing had some premeditated plans a long time ago?" The old man surnamed Qi on the side was still skeptical about this matter.
Wu Zongting shook his head: "If something else is possible, but this time the matter of the crystal vein can't, once the crystal vein shows cracks, there is only more than a month to mine, otherwise the immortal crystals inside will be lost, we first met those disciples for a few months ago, he didn't expect the crystal vein to appear." ”
Li Mengshan didn't care about any conspiracy, he looked at Lingxiao's direction and was quite fascinated: "I can't imagine that I will return to Lingxiao one day." The rest of the people were feeling the same way when they heard it, but who knew that he would reveal his true colors in the next sentence: "Even if I go back, I will enter that kid's retreat, and play by the meditation lake every day, just thinking about it is a little too much to wait." ”
The matter of the crystal vein spread in Lingxiao, everyone knew that the war was imminent, Zhang Zhao had heard the tragedy of the crystal vein dispute from Uncle Wang in the town, and several elders of Yangxian Hall knew that they were also uneasy, Pang Feiyang was much calmer, and Zhang Zhao stopped him when he left: "Zhang Zhao, you take the skin of the Bat King to the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and let them make you clothes, maybe you can use it too." ”
Zhang Zhao did as he said, and the Divine Weapon Pavilion was now running at full capacity to respond to requests, and in less than two days, he would give him the batskin armor. On this day, Zhang Zhao had just delivered food to Yangxian Hall, and saw Pang Feiyang and Chang Qingzi going out side by side.
After giving a salute, Zhang Zhao asked, "Uncle Pang, you haven't eaten yet, where are you going?" Pang Feiyang walked up to him and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "There is something in the door, I won't eat this meal." After saying that, he and Nagakiko left quickly.
"What is Uncle Pang doing here?" Zhang Zhao asked while serving the meal, and the surrounding elders did not make a sound, but just ate in a sullen voice, even Sheng Jin.
"I hope Senior Brother Pang can return safely. Shu Jiuling sighed: "It seems that our Lingxiao is about to set off to go to the crystal vein, and it is inevitable that there will be bloody battles at that time, and the auspiciousness is unpredictable." ”
