Xuanmiao Sect is in the center of Woxian Mountain, occupying the best and highest peaks, this sect was founded five thousand years ago, almost the oldest batch of sects in Great Qin, but the real predecessor can actually be traced back to the war between the two clans seven thousand years ago, when the demon clan soldiers went south, most of Zhongzhou fell, Qin naturally could not escape this catastrophe, there were a large number of monks and people fled south, they accompanied each other, formed a large or small team, in the difficult troubled times to seek a living, they had to guard against not only the demon clan, but also other teams with scarce resources。

Many monks had to learn the methods of local monks, such as how to get rid of the terrible poisonous insects, how to expel the miasma that spread for dozens of miles, and how to deal with the ghostly monks who wandered around the Nanling Ridge like ghosts.

They soon learned some special methods, the most beneficial of which was how to deal with the gods and ghosts.

The so-called gods and ghosts monks, in fact, is a vague name, these monks have no sect, gathered together in twos and threes, living in the most remote and dangerous area in the South Mountains, they do not believe in immortals and do not respect the emperor, but believe in some ancient and mysterious gods, or ghosts who can't tell the history, the secret method of cultivation is also quite weird, curses, sacrifices, poisonous Gu, everything is refined, especially good at the soul avenue, they lurk in the dark, the most like to shoot at the lone monk, is the most headache for the Zhongzhou monks who go south.

Today's Nanling, gods and ghosts monks are rare, one is because the war ended, the territory of the human race was pacified, large and small sect dynasties sprung up in various parts of Nanling, squeezing the living space of these gods and ghosts monks, and the other is that some gods and ghosts monks have lived out of the mountains and forests for tens of thousands of years, and started a sect, they are very far-sighted, after a large number of monks poured into Nanling, they realized that the peaceful life of the past has disappeared, and simply walked out, and now there are twenty percent of the sects in Nanling that are their descendants, such as the rather mysterious Tuxing Cultivation, which is one of these gods and ghosts monks。

But seven thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Xuanmiao Sect really suffered a lot of losses on the heads of these gods and ghosts monks, and after the death of many companions, they also began to learn the methods of the local monks in Nanling, and gradually began to integrate the secret techniques of Nanling with the exercises of Zhongzhou, creating a unique school, which is the origin of the Xuanmiao Sect.

They are also good at the Great Dao of the Soul, but compared to the Nanling monks who directly control the soul, or the evil or weird secret arts, the Dao method of the Xuan Miao Sect is more peaceful, they will directly attack the soul with the Great Technique of Divine Sense, and they will also use various secret methods to provoke the enemy's Dao heart, joy, anger, sorrow, seven emotions and six desires, which is something that even monks cannot avoid.

As the war calmed down, these fleeing monks gradually moved back to Nanling, but this process actually lasted for more than a thousand years, and the monks who returned to Qin continued to fight to seize the territory they wanted, so it was not until 5,000 years ago that the Xuan Miao Sect was officially established.

It is worth mentioning that the Dry Sword Mountain was actually founded by the descendants of these fleeing monks, but it was nearly two thousand years later than the Xuan Miao Sect, and they spent a lot of energy to fuse the sword and soul arts, but after all, the ancestors came from the same source, so the two sects were naturally similar, and they stood together very early, formed allies, and advanced and retreated together.

Therefore, the Xuan Miao Sect is actually the same as the Dry Sword Mountain, and they are very eager for the position of the state religion, because it is very beneficial to their cultivation.

However, since the establishment of Great Qin, the Xuan Miao Sect has made many moves, but it has not been able to get this position.

So now, Xuan Miaozong's mind is a little complicated.

Three high mountains into the clouds stand quietly, strange and handsome, the mountain is full of buildings and tile houses, from the foot of the mountain there is a spiritual light rising, gradually rising, and finally winding around the mountainside, this is the unique scenery of the Xuan Miao Sect, known as the Xuan Miao Xiaguang, it is said that because there is a spiritual stone buried under the Xuan Miao Mountain, absorbing the essence of the stars and the moon, the brilliance appears after getting up every morning, forming this unique scenery.

Although the beauty is unparalleled, but the Xuanmiao Mountain is depressed, whether it is the elders or the disciples, there is a sense of anxiety about the storm, especially the disciples, their news is less, most of them are hearsay, so it is inevitable that there are some untruths, so that the rumors that the Dry Sword Mountain betrayed the Xuan Miao Sect and became the state religion of the Great Qin are very loud, and some people even speculate in a panic that the Dry Sword Mountain has joined forces with the Great Qin and the Chixiao Hall to pull the Xuan Miao Sect from the position of the first sect and replace it.

For a while, the people were panicked, although some elders came forward to stabilize the people's hearts, but even these elders couldn't figure out the current situation, so it was difficult to convince the people, and the disciples were still a little uneasy.

And the elders themselves have differences, some people advocate taking the initiative to take the lead in suppressing Kujian Mountain and Daqin, some people think that they can't act rashly, and they must first explore the idea of Kujian Mountain, after all, the two sects are still allies now, and they shouldn't be suspicious, and some people think that there is no need to worry about this matter at all, even if Kujian Mountain becomes the state religion, the position of the first sect of Xuanmiao Sect still can't be shaken.

Just three hours after Luo Fengming's warship fell into the Withered Sword Mountain Gate, a quarrel broke out in the main hall of the Xuanmiao Sect, and more than a dozen elders refused to give in to each other, and the quarrel was a mess.

"How to do this depends on the thoughts of Kujian Mountain, so the top priority is to send someone to explore the mouth of Kujian Mountain!"

"Hmph, if Kujian Mountain has no intention of being the state religion of the Great Qin, it is right to take the initiative to come to the door to clarify, then the Great Qin envoy has been in the mountain for three hours, but the Kujian Mountain has not moved for a long time, what is in mind, passers-by know!"

"It is a taboo for a soldier to be suspicious of allies indiscriminately! How do you know that the Kujian Mountain is not delayed because of some matter? Maybe in another hour, the people of the Kujian Mountain will come to visit! If you can't bear it at this moment, you accuse the Kujian Mountain without authorization, and stiffen the relationship between the two sects, only to find out afterwards that the Kujian Mountain does not want to be the state religion at all, and this is called causing a big disaster. ”

"But just sit back and watch Daqin bully? These sects in the Chixiao Hall will almost mock us to their faces! If we don't respond, how will the big and small sects in this Woxian Mountain think of us? This face will be lost!"

"It doesn't matter if you lose face, it's a big trouble if you lose your lining!"

"Cowardly and afraid!"

"Impulsive and brainless!"

The elders were divided into several camps and reprimanded each other, and the Xuan Miao Sect Master sat quietly at the top, his eyebrows and eyes were closed, as if he was not interested in the quarrel below, but he suddenly opened his eyes, his head turned slightly to the right, as if he was listening to something, after a while, he nodded, his mouth opened silently, as if he was talking to someone, and after a while, he suddenly raised his hand and suppressed the quarrel among the elders.

He looked around and said coldly, "There is news from the dark son of the capital. ”

The elders' spirits were shocked, they were not afraid of the danger of the situation, they were afraid that they would not be able to see the situation clearly, since there was news coming, whether it was good or bad, it was actually good news for them.

"Great Qin envoy Luo Fengming, this time not only brought the Nine Gates Golden Plaque, but also brought a teleportation jade plate, there is a Great Qin secret envoy secretly entered the Dry Sword Mountain through the jade plate, this person is the Song family's son-in-law of the ninth generation of the Great Qin, on the order of Emperor Shenwu, secretly invited the Dry Sword Mountain to serve as the state religion of the Great Qin," the Xuan Miao Sect Master glanced at the sunlight outside the hall, "The secret conversation ended three hours ago, according to the secret son, the Dry Sword Mountain was obviously moved. ”

There was silence in the room, and all the elders looked at each other, although they had expected it, but when the news really came, they were still a little surprised.

Is this alliance, which has lasted for thousands of years, finally on the verge of collapse?
