Chapter 15: Friends Come from Far Away
Tang Chang'an, night.
In the intricate streets of Dongshi, every household does not have a trace of light at this time. However, not far away, there was the sound of broken horses' hooves, which seemed to be heading towards the East Market.
Aside from the recent increasingly strict curfew, even in normal times, the government's supervision of the two major cities of Chang'an is also very strict, and basically no shops dare to continue to do business after dark. At this time, in the streets of Dongshi, several horse-drawn carriages were on the way.
There were quite a few businessmen who lived in their own shops in the city, and they were very curious to poke their heads out of the window, wondering which powerful man dared to drive to the city at this time, and was not controlled by the officials. But when they peeked, they still didn't dare to light the lamp, it was dark and only a faint light on the carriage, and they naturally couldn't recognize which of the noble clan's carriage and horse canopy.
Under the fierce confrontation between Yang Xiang and An Lushan in the dark between the two forces of the DPRK and China, the officials of the Chang'an court were all in danger, His Majesty was old, and the government was abandoned. In the past month or so, Chang'an City has been strictly controlled by a curfew every night, and the petty officials and officials are even more cautious in their words and deeds, and the high-ranking officials and nobles have also restrained a lot. Devoted his energy to the open and secret battles in the court, and tried not to be caught by the enemy outside the court.
However, for Yang Guozhong's forces all over the government and the opposition, there is no clear contention. An Lushan's power has infiltrated the imperial court under years of management, but it has always made it difficult for civil and military officials to see who is an ally of the An family. This is also the most important reason why everyone in the DPRK and China officials is in danger. There is no open fighting, only endless secret fighting. can't be framed, but also seize the opportunity to frame the enemy, always be wary of the people around you, anyone may have become An Lushan's confidant informant.
Dare to use the privileges of your identity, openly undermine a draconian curfew, and drive late at night in the East Market. This kind of thing is no longer what the officials of the DPRK will do. To the amazement of the people living around, when several carriages passed by the door of their shop, they heard the sound of horses panting louder and louder, but the sound of horses' hooves gradually disappeared.
Coming is extraordinary.
The streets of Higashi are very spacious, and it is possible to pass through them by three horses. But the convoy still walked by one by one. The speed is even, and it doesn't seem to be in a hurry. Curious people in the shop could count the faint lights and see a total of seven carriages passing by.
No one knew that most of the people sitting in these seven carriages were powerful people in the Yuan Infant Stage, some of them belonged to the strong people of the Yudan Period, and some of them were casual disciples in the Foundation Building Period. This force can even turn the imperial capital Chang'an upside down.
They came from the seven ancient sects from all over the Central Plains, and on each spacious carriage, there were seven or eight disciples of each sect. The leader is often an elder of a sect, and the rest of the disciples are also elites of all generations. There are also a small number of young disciples in the foundation building period who have been sent out to practice.
However, this trip is expensive, and it is not so simple.
A few days ago, as soon as the lobbyists from various sects and sects who went to Tu Feng Sect left, everyone on this trip went to the Nine Lotus Sect, the largest sect in Middle Earth, which stood in Guo Nancheng outside Chang'an. When everything was discussed, we set out today and sent this group of people as representatives of each sect first, and it is expected that they will be able to reach the Tu Feng Sect in less than a week. Then continue to dispatch manpower from each sect and sect to press the Tu Feng Sect!
Nine Lotus Sect of the Imperial Capital, Soul Sect of Nanban Town, Emperor Palace of Yanyun Arctic, Extreme Sect of Wujiang River, Sect of Seven Seas of Hebei, Stargazing Sect of Jingzhou, and Shengyang Sect of Lishan.
According to the ruling of the Royal Secret Council thirty years ago, this seat is ranked. The carriage order is also arranged according to this seat. Although the Tu Feng Sect had weakened in recent years, its status back then was at least the fifth rank before the Seven Seas Sect. No matter how bad it is, it can be ranked behind it, before the Stargazing Sect. But it is clear who is the target of this massive operation.
Of course, this seat ranking is not entirely accurate. In the territory of Datang, there are nearly ten evil sects, all of which cultivate the way of refining death by side sects. The two most famous are the Western Regions Underworld Corpse Sect and the Soul Corpse Sect. And the strength of the Hades Corpse Sect can definitely wrestle with the Nine Lotus Sect.
As for the ancient sect ranked eighth, it should have been the East China Sea Glass Palace. But they don't plan to join in this crackdown on the Tu Pig Sect. The Yin-Yang Sect has been gaining momentum in recent years, and the most famous Yin-Sha Sect is a well-known loner. Although there are many beautiful women in their sect, what they hate most is men, not to mention fighting with a group of big men and another group of big men.
Moreover, the sect master Shen Yang Sanren is a well-known calf protector. This time I went to Tu Feng Sect, and the risks were proportional to the benefits. She definitely couldn't bear to look at her girl, even if she was seriously injured. In desperation, the leading Nine Lotus Sect and the Yin and Yang Sect under the Yin and Yang Sect reached a consensus.
"I repeat, when you get there in a few days, remember what I said. ”
The Arctic Emperor Palace, together with the Nine Lotus Sect, is the earliest sect built together after the catastrophe. This sect is the largest Xingshuhai sect in Middle-earth, with an extremely profound heritage and a large number of talents in the sect. The reason why the Nine Lotus Sect, which is also a sect of the Star Sea, can stand tall is that it is a little different from it, the Nine Lotus Sect has been passed down from generation to generation, and only cultivates the Purple Micro Star Technique, and all the other sects of the Star Sea disdain all kinds of derivative star arts. After the cultivation of the Ziwei Star Technique was strong, the Heavenly Machine Method of the Nine Lotus Sect could even be compared to the Star Gazing Sect, which was famous for its divination technique.
"This trip to the Tu Pig Sect is completely for the friendship between my sect and the Nine Lotus Sect. In fact, there is a theory of inaction that betrays the old monarch and his doppelganger Li Er. You should not have selfish thoughts, so as not to affect the heart of the Dao. Don't be too negative, let the Daoists of the Nine Lotus Sect criticize. Hope you guys can do it. ”
"I told you that yesterday the old man sensed that the Ancient Sword Cave Heaven seemed to be about to open again. And it wasn't long after. Tu Feng Sect's Xuan Neng predecessor's Dao method is unfathomable, and his subordinate Guanmei Peak is in the realm where the leylines are extremely active, and it is very likely that he has already received this news. Even, earlier than me. ”
The Soul Suppression Sect was established at a similar time to the Tu Feng Sect. One was established in the southwest tribulation realm, and the other was born in the southeast wilderness, both of which are the Seven Killing Sects, but only the Seven Killing Sect and the unique swordsmanship are practiced in the Soul Suppression Sect. After the catastrophe, a large number of surviving powerful sword masters gathered in the Soul Suppression Sect and opened up the most shocking sword cultivation sect in history. The legendary Ancient Sword Cave Heaven is also a wild place in the area of Lingnan Road. Xu is destined to occupy two divine swords among the five ancient swords that were born. They are the ancient sword star river breath five hundred years ago, and its main star manifestation Dao Chang failed to cross the catastrophe a hundred years ago, and his body died. Xinghexi became the divine sword enshrined in the sect.
More than 100 years ago, that is, the generation of kendo geniuses who had just spoken, was as high-spirited as they were back then, and obtained another ancient divine sword town black demon in the ancient sword cave. The Soul Suppression Sect has a peerless sword spectrum that circulates in the sect, which is called the Seven Styles of Soul Extermination. There is also a secret that can be called the secret of the sect, the current sect leader of the Soul Suppression Sect, Soul Ge Daoren, he is very special, and he is the only sword cultivator in the Yuan Infant Stage who refines the left sword vein. In other words, the Soul Suppression Sect has the most abundant kendo scholarship in the entire Central Plains.
"Back then, this seat won the Black Demon of Ancient Sword Town, and went through a lot of hardships within half a month of the Ancient Sword Cave Heaven. At that time, every sect will be an enemy. Forty years ago, Ming Jian Yu was already in the hands of the Nine Lotus Sect, and our sect could not afford to lose the ancient sword that was born in the future! In this way, we will have one less great enemy!"
"Needless to say, there are many seats, right? The Tu Feng Sect and my Liang Zi of the Seven Seas Sect were married in the Western Han Dynasty. This sect is from its ancestors and is a group of vulgar villains. Back then, that guy's background is said to have been to kill pigs for a living. Tu Fenzong never learned a lesson, and now he dared to help the thief and became the target of everyone. What to do in the battle in the coming days, you should understand the meaning of this seat and the sect. ”
Hebei Qihai Sect. This is an ancient sect that is most similar to the Tu Feng Sect. At the beginning, it was the same as the Seven Kills Gate, and it was passed down from one line to another. Later, because the Seven Killing Star Technique was too difficult, he had to open up the Star Sea Sect. By now, the status of the Seven Killing Star Technique and the Star Technique in the sect was no longer comparable. The Seven Seas Sect and the Tu Feng Sect have had a grudge for a long time, and the person who spoke just now has a very high status, and he is a fourth-generation disciple in the sect, the Taishang Elder Lingxi Daoist. Cultivation has reached the terrifying middle stage of the Yuan Infant, and I am afraid that only a person with a blank heart can carry it. The Seven Seas Sect wants to target the Tu Feng Sect, which is actually the most reasonable among these people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you can be the first to go to the Tu Feng Sect as representatives of the sect with this seat. This is a great honor and the deepest trust. You should know what kind of connection Tu Fengzong has with An Lushan in the past ten years, and for what. Our sect has a high status in the sect world, and this time we can send people to Lingzhou twice. This time, we can't wait any longer, we have to get what we have always wanted. ”
"We must not let the Slaughter Sect run into trouble. The old man's nephew is the younger brother of some of you. The sect has sacrificed ten years of his time to go to the Li Tang royal family, just to control the overall situation, to ensure that our sect has enough advantages, and also to squeeze out this most dishonest Tu Feng sect. Judging from all kinds of signs and the information of the same disciples thirty years ago, the tokens have a very good chance of being born. It's been almost two months since the first Daozi we sent to, and it's likely that something has already been discovered. For the sake of the great cause of the sect, the upcoming war must not be merciful!"
Qingyu Daochang, the uncle of Jin Qifa, the best friend of Jinggong Prince Li Wan, was also the one who sent him to Li Wan's side. This time he went to the Tu Feng Sect, and the sect master of the Nine Lotus Sect specially sent him to lead his disciples as an elder, and of course he was also the leader of all the people in these seven carriages. The affair between him and Tu Feng Sect Xin and Daoist twenty years ago was well known among several elders of the Nine Lotus Sect. But since the heart and the Taoist went to Fanyang to devote himself to An Lushan's good brother Shi Siming for a certain reason, Qing Yu has been deeply puzzled. Later, Xinhe found out the reason for doing this, and he hated this woman completely. In his words, the heart and ambition are too heavy, and feelings will always be only second to her. However, what she was playing with was the feelings of Qing Yu, the elder of his dignified Nine Lotus Sect.
The hatred that is born of love is the deepest hatred. The elders of the Nine Lotus Sect knew this, and they also knew the whole purpose of the transaction between the Tu Feng Sect and An Lushan. They understood that Qing Yu would not be soft on this sect. The woman who made him emotionally hurt was there, wanting to subvert the plan of the Nine Lotus Sect and let the Tu Feng Sect intervene sideways and turn the Lingzhou upside down in the near future.
Decisions made 10 years ago. Regardless of whether it is fair or not, since they Nine Lotus Sect said it, Tu Feng Sect has to endure it obediently! It has actually been ten years, and he has a relationship with vulgar people like An Lushan, and he has to break through their shackles, and imprint his footprints on the land called Qinshan Country in Lingzhou during the hundred years. In Qing Yu's eyes, there was no right or wrong in this, he only laughed at Tu Fengzong's dog jumping off the wall in a hurry and not being able to do anything about it.
If you dare to go against the Nine Lotus Sect, the first major sect in Middle Earth, then there is no mercy at all.
"My generation of Heavenly Disciples, conform to what the Heavenly Dao says. The same is true of this alliance. The phenomenon in the Sanqing Spirit Bottle can show that although An Lushan has some dragon elephant posture, he has no luck to bear the crown. If it really succeeds, it will only become more and more chaotic in the world. This time to go to persuade with the Taoist friends of the sect is a matter of good luck and should be. ”
The Stargazing Sect of Jingzhou. Among the eight ancient sects, it is the sect that was founded the latest. He is also the representative of the sixty-four Inner Heavenly Machine Dao Sects. Jingzhou Jiangling Mansion, where the ancient Chu capital is located, has always been a battleground for soldiers. After the Tribulation, this place is the place where the most mortals are reborn. All kinds of unique opportunities and qi numbers make mortals who are not long after their rebirth enlighten their minds earlier. The founding ancestor of the Stargazing Sect is the most unique of the eight ancient sects. Unlike them, the Stargazing Ancestor was a mortal born after the Death Tribulation. When the other seven ancient sects had already established their sects, he was still a mortal with no cultivation. But with his cultivation, his cultivation improved extremely quickly.
The Stargazing Ancestor is the wisest of the Eight Great Ancestors. Cultivating the Heavenly Machine Star Palace to reach the realm of perfection in the mortal realm. A hundred years later, he became the first person in this life to be born from a mortal and ascend to an immortal. The Stargazing Sect divination is extremely accurate, but it never argues about the number of days, and the disciples of the sect are also relatively gentle and elegant, and most of them don't like to kill. The favorite of mortals in the secular world is also a stargazing disciple. The family of emperors and generals often went to Jingzhou to seek divination at important moments. Therefore, the Stargazing Sect has the best reputation, whether it is in the sect world or among the people.
However, this time is different. Tu Fenzong has already caused public outrage, and An Lushan should never sit on the throne of God King. Although he is a disciple of the Heavenly Machine who has no quarrel with the world, he cannot stand idly by at this moment. It's just that Mr. Tianhua, the elder who is the leader of the Stargazing Sect, has always had the attitude of saluting first and then soldiering towards the Tu Feng Sect.
"Brothers, this trip to the Tu Feng Sect is the first time that our sect has acted with the six ancient sects. Everything has to be commanded by the Daoists of the Nine Lotus Sect. Usually we brothers can be intimate with each other, and we must pay attention to etiquette outside. ”
If someone lifts the curtain and sees the scene inside the spacious carriage, their jaw will definitely drop. In the carriage of the Shengyang Sect, which was represented by two male initiates, several handsome men sat on one side, and on the other side, four handsome men with muscles were hugging each other, as if they were reluctant to waste the time spent in the carriage for the past few days to participate in bliss.
Even if it is the opposite of it, the Yin Sha Sect of the Female and Female Double Cultivation Sect is not as open as they are. The Shengyang Sect does not belong to the scope of the Eight Great Ancient Sects, at most it is a thug temporarily found by the Nine Lotus Sect. The status is naturally low, but in their opinion, it is the best opportunity to make a name for yourself.
Elder Li Xin is a Taoist, and he is only in the late stage of Yudan. The disciples of their sect are either or extremely conquest for handsome men. When he saw the masters of the other sect Yushu Linfeng, his eager expression could only be overflowing, and it was difficult to control. This also disgusted many people who had just come into contact with it, after all, the method of the Shengyang Sect was difficult for most people to accept, and it was even more repulsive than the method of female and female double cultivation of the Yin Sha Sect. Li Xin Daoist could only remind the accompanying disciples again and again not to forget what they were here for.
However, the most unbearable thing for this group of strange people in the Shengyang Sect is the group of monks and friends of the West Pole Sect who eat fasting and recite Buddha.
Inside the carriage in which the disciples of the West Pole Sect were riding.
The abbot, Venerable Ming Zhen, sat on one side, the faint moonlight spilling into the car, his eyes slightly closed, holding the rosary around his neck. Seems to be checking something. The five disciples have uneven cultivation, ranging from Yuanying to Zhuji. They were all looking at Master Ming Zhen nervously. After a while, he opened his tired eyes, "I can speak." ”
Master Ming Zhen is already a little old. To be honest, he should not belong to the five generations of disciples of the West Pole Sect. He was actually a person of the era of four generations of disciples, and only later converted to Buddhism and escaped into the West Pole Sect. That's why he took "Ming" as his Dharma name and became a disciple of the five generations. Yuan Ying's cultivation was just now, with his eyes closed, and he was sensing the movements of the streets outside the carriage and the other six cars to ensure that his words would not be eavesdropped, and then he began to carefully and slowly transmit the sound to the people around him.
“... Since there has been a change in the sect's plan, don't act rashly in the past few days. You have to ventilate with Jianyuan Jianhang and the two of them first. Another thing that must be absolutely noted is that for my generation of Buddhist disciples, killing is absolutely a helpless move. At that time, no matter what the final stance is, a vicious war will inevitably be inevitable. If any of you kill someone as a last resort, remember to keep his soul alive and recite the Jizo Sutra to transcend it so that he can enter samsara and alleviate our sins...... Amitabha Buddha ......"
"But first of all, everyone must protect themselves. These people from the Nine Lotus Sect have unknowingly committed the two major sins of resentment. If there is a change in the sect's position, protecting oneself is the most important thing. Among these people in the Nine Lotus Sect, if they commit the sin of gossip and double-tongued in order to survive, they are really helpless. You must remember that no matter what happens in the next few days, protect yourself first, and nothing will happen!"
The sound of the horses' hooves grew farther and farther away, and the curious people in the streets drew up their curtains and lay back into their beds in boredom. Seven carriages drove out of the East City, picking up speed towards the southwest, which was still far away.
