Chapter 0777 - Killing Three Birds with One Stone
Realizing this, of course, not only Su Qi himself, Lu Jiwei is a thousand-year-old Tianyuan overhaul, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an old fritter, but also a monk who has personally experienced the Nanling Rebellion, so he naturally has a great understanding of the dispute between the old and new factions, and also knows the hostility of the traditional party to Tianji Pavilion.
Su Qi even had a suspicion, this may be the calculation of the Tianji Pavilion, they not only want to get the keel and the possible remnants of the Great Emperor, but also want to kill three birds with one stone, extend their tentacles to the south of Nanling, and completely solve this group of traditional factions who have never listened to the orders of Tianji Pavilion, after all, the war between the two clans is hot, and the only hidden danger in the rear of the human race is this group of traditional factions in Nanling.
If this speculation is true, I am afraid that there are more than a hundred monks who came to Nanling this time, and secretly, I am afraid that there are other monks staring here.
This can also explain why Lu Ji's attitude is so tough and does not give these local snakes face at all.
But that also means a lot of trouble.
Su Qi sighed lightly, and regretted intervening in this matter very much, because he knew very well that although the traditional faction was defeated decades ago and had to retreat to the south of Nanling, they were facing Tianji Pavilion and most of Zhongzhou, and being able to maintain such a record was already a testament to their strength.
Moreover, these traditionalists, who are good at all kinds of strange arts, are targeted by them, and even the meditating monks have to worry about their own lives, maybe there are countless monks hiding in these forests in the south now.
Lu Ji stepped on the river, the surroundings were quiet, his divine sense swept in all directions arrogantly, but he did not find any enemies, he frowned, raised his left hand lightly, the barrier under him dispersed, and the accumulated river water instantly surged down, flooding the shrine again.
"Senior," Su Qi flew to his side and gave him a somewhat strange look, "Tianji Pavilion...... It's not going to be in the rear, is it?"
Lu Ji was stunned for a moment, stared at Su Qi's eyes for a long time, and suddenly laughed.
"Actually, Fuyaozi sent a letter, one is for you, and the other is for me, the letter said that the Lord of the Eight Desolations Peak of the Sword Gate is a rare smart person, and he will probably perceive the truth of the matter by himself, I was still a little confused, but now it is clear, "Lu Ji has nothing to hide," A month ago, the elders of the Nanling Xingyue Sect were ambushed, and the sect master was also seriously injured, and the cabinet sent someone to investigate, and it has been confirmed that it was the traditional sect that did it, but you also know that the Nanling inheritance method is unique, and many sects have the same inheritance, so it is not sure which sect did it. ”
"Star Moon Sect....... I remember that this sect is one of the major sects in the northern part of Nanling, and it should be ranked in the top ten in Nanling?"
Lu Ji nodded, "Well, this sect is very important to the pavilion, it has always been friendly with the pavilion, and the Zhiyang Sect is the same person who is the speaker of my Tianji Pavilion in Nanling, and in this war between the two clans, the Xingyue Sect in the Nanling sect has contributed the most, and the pavilion also relies on them to win over the Nanling monks and collect Nanling materials, if the traditional faction continues to target them, it will have a great impact on the war between the two clans." ”
"How could the traditionalists pick such a time to cause trouble?" Su Qi was puzzled, "This can cause anger, I have seen it in Nanjiang City, the people here hate the demon clan, and almost overwhelmingly support the war. ”
"The reason is very complicated, one is because the traditional sect is not united, although the Soul Refining Sect and several other sects are considered the leaders of the traditional sect, but in addition to treating my Tianji Pavilion and the new sect in the north of Nanling, they don't have much control over the internal affairs, and the sect that shot at the Xingyue Sect is a sect that uses the imperial envoy poisonous insect as a technique, they have a bitter hatred with the Xingyue Sect, both parties want to kill each other, and when they encounter such a good opportunity, they will naturally shoot without scruples, and the traditional faction is also very critical of this, but after all, things have happened, even if the Soul Refining Sect is unhappy, it has to swallow this bitter fruit, so these days, the traditional sect has been active a lot, and the cabinet is very worried about this. ”
"Second, it's because there are still many people who have another view of this war......" Lu Ji paused, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, " They think that this war will not last too long, at most one year, at least half a year will be over, far from developing into the big war involving the life and death of the two races seven thousand years ago, so many sects are still in a wait-and-see attitude, the same is true of the traditional faction, many monks do not think that the war will come to Nanling, instead of worrying about the future of the human race, it is better to take the opportunity to get some benefits, the so-called time will not come again, this is the case. ”
Su Qi was silent, and after a while, he asked in a low voice, "So, there are more than a hundred monks sent by the Heavenly Machine Pavilion?"
"Of course it's more than that!" Lu Ji nodded, "But there are not many people in the pavilion, and the monks who can come are also limited, and the most important thing this time is to obtain the dragon bone and the remnants of the emperor, if you can't do anything, you don't need to target the traditionalists." ”
"But they don't look like they're going to give up," Su Qi looked at the upper reaches of the Nanjiang River, "and the keels are too widely distributed, and there may be as many as nine shrines, so if there are not enough people, it will be difficult to defend them." ”
Lu Ji smiled, "When I came, although I guessed that the keel was very long, and there might be some kind of suppression, I didn't expect that there would be nine in this shrine, which is considered a mistake....... However, in my opinion, even if there are nine shrines, the remnants of the Great Emperor can only be located in one of them, so the most important question is, which one is it?"
Su Qi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly, he thought for a moment, "If you want to raise the emperor's body with dragon qi, you should put it in the first or last one." ”
"According to calculations, the last shrine should be located in the river below Nanjiang City. ”
"It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?" Su Qi was a little skeptical.
"Nanjiang City is extremely ancient, dating back 100,000 years," Lu Ji explained. The Green Lantern Half Emperor chose this place on purpose, because this place is the intersection of Nanjiang and the other three spiritual energy dragons, which is a place of luck created by heaven and earth, if it were not for the fact that there are many mortals here, it is a famous big city in the world, I am afraid that many sects have already snatched it, but even if the red dust here is very thick, there are also many monks who live in seclusion in the city to practice, this is because the aura here is very strong, so the Green Lantern Half Emperor probably wants to prepare with his hands, while nourishing the emperor's remnant body with dragon qi, while borrowing the aura to breed. ”
"Then what next?" Su Qi shrugged, "Do we still want to continue upstream to see other shrines?"
"There's no need for the time being," Lu Ji sneered, "It's enough to know that the Divine Palace is different, there's no need to continue to focus on the location of the Ming Divine Palace," he looked up at the sky again, "And the hour has come, I also want to see what kind of money that little fat man has to steal the sky." ”
