After a little preparation, Wu Xie left Qingyang Mountain.

However, instead of going directly to the active volcano in the mountains to the southwest, he went to meet a few of his disciples first.

Qiao Feng and Lin Xiao still live in Dayue Kingdom, Lin Xiao lives in Changning City, the national capital, and Qiao Feng lives in Anfeng County, the capital of Zhaoyang County.

"The disciple has been looking forward to the day when the mountain gate will be opened, how can he forget it!" When Wu Xie reminded him, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "But...... As a half-demon, wouldn't it be a little troublesome for a disciple?"

"We Qingyangguan don't care whether our disciples are human or demonic." Wu Xie thought for a while, and added, "Although there are no demon clans among the ancestors of the past dynasties, there are many demon clans among the elders, and they can't see the meaning of discrimination at all. ”

"In fact, the disciples of the demon clan are very valuable to a sect. The longevity of the demon clan is long, and once they have achieved cultivation, they can often become the backbone of the sect, and they have been guarding the sect for hundreds or even thousands of years. There are such elders in this sect, and they have gone through more than ten generations of heads before and after. ”

"I'm afraid I won't live that long."

"Ha Luha, I'm giving this example just to let you not worry." Wu Xie smiled, "What's more...... Your master and I still have a little status in this sect, as long as you don't make trouble yourself, you should be fine. ”

"By the way, I've heard you say before that there are only five generations of disciples in this sect at the same time. Now that the generation of the Supreme Elder has not all passed away, if the disciple enters now, how should the generation be calculated?"

Wu Xie was stunned and couldn't help but scratch his head.

This question does seem a bit troublesome......

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." When he and Qiao Feng mentioned this issue, Qiao Daxia, who was already famous in the southeast, said with a smile, "It's a big deal, let's become an outer disciple first, and then turn into an official inner disciple when there is the twenty-eighth generation, I think it shouldn't take long." At that time, it seems that I can still mix with the twenty-eighth generation of senior brothers......"

"The generation of this sect was only 100 years when it was fast, but it was nearly 500 years when it was slow—by the way, if you count the period between the thirteenth and fourteenth generations, the longest time was more than 6,000 years."

Qiao Feng was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face turned into a wry smile.

"A hundred years is not enough, but five hundred years...... I'm afraid I won't live that long........."

He said sincerely, the monk is not an immortal monster, although Wu Xie did not hide his selfishness when teaching his disciples, and did his best, but Qiao Feng asked himself, he never thought that he could reach the legendary Huandan realm, and even the Ning Yuan realm was not very sure, and the Ning Yuan monk would live for six or seven hundred years at most, and the Lian Gang monk was only four or five hundred years.

If you have to wait for five hundred years, even Monk Ning Yuan doesn't dare to say that he will definitely be able to wait, let alone Cultivator Liangang.

"I won't keep you waiting that long." Wu Xie still has some understanding of the situation of several Taishang Patriarchs of this sect, "According to the rules of this sect, no matter how old the elders of the demon clan are, as long as they do not live in seclusion, they can only be counted as peers of the real people in charge of the sect at most; If you live in seclusion, you will be counted as the elder of the Taishang generation at most, and only after death will they be classified as the original generation. The current two Supreme Elders of this sect, one is a demon clan, regardless of it for the time being; The other is the human race, who has lived for more than a thousand years, and his life is about to end. ”

"Thank goodness!" Qiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately realized that his words seemed to be very inappropriate, and he immediately blushed.

The veteran of this gate is about to pass away, how can this be considered a good thing!

Wu Xie didn't care, and patted his apprentice's shoulder with a smile, so that he didn't have to care.

Words are from the heart, Qiao Feng told the truth, there is nothing bad about it-just don't say it in front of the Supreme Elder who is about to sit down.

After meeting the two personal disciples, he went to the Great Snow Mountain again, but this time he didn't meet Lixiao.

Lixiao left a message in that humble cave with his own mental method, saying that he had met a companion of the Owl Beast Clan, and learned that the old king of the Owl Beast Clan was old and was choosing a new king, so he rushed to join in the fun.

"There have never been any people in this clan who are in the realm of profoundness, and the old king is only in the late stage of refining. I'm also in the realm of refining gang, so maybe I can compete...... Well, that's what I thought. In the picture reflected in the crystal, the detached man in human form smiled very honestly, but he couldn't hide the sharp spirit born from the bottom of his heart, "The place where the king is chosen is the forbidden land of the clan, isolated from the outside world; Uncle Shi, please leave a letter if you have anything, I estimate that I will be back in two years. ”

So Wu Xie left a letter, wishing him to become the king of the beast clan, and told him that Qingyangguan would open the mountain gate in ten years, and he could also come.

Wu Xie had already reported the situation of several disciples in the door, and he had also been approved by the head of the sect. As long as he can participate in the selection of disciples in time, he can at least get an outer gate identity, and he can be regarded as an organized person when he walks the world in the future.

"Meows want to participate, too?" Xiao Chai's long tail drew a question mark in the air, and he looked at Wu Xie suspiciously, "Meow is a monster......

"Youkai don't matter, this door doesn't discriminate against youkai."

"But I think...... We are doing well in Sichen Town......" Almond said hesitantly, "no one cares about us here, we can eat when we want, sleep when we want, eat fish until we can't eat, sleep until we wake up naturally, and live happily." If you go to Qingyang Mountain, can you still live such a comfortable life?"

Fifty years is a long time for a person, and it is not a short time for a little monster with low cultivation. Although Chai was still the same gray kitten that was less than a foot long and less than a fist tall, Almond had grown a little more — not that she was taller, but that she had matured.

Now she will definitely not steal money to buy a lot of fish like she did at the beginning, only to eat it completely and rot, and make her boarding house stinker than a pit.

Today's Mingjiao is already a well-known sect in the southeast. Although they are not small, they are very humble in their work, and they have always followed the rules set by Wu Xie at the beginning, and they are famous and decent in the martial arts.

Those young men in the southeast who dream of becoming martial arts masters and acting chivalrous on the rivers and lakes often come to Sichen Town thousands of miles to join the Ming Sect. And after they have learned something, they will add luster to Mingjiao...... Over time, a virtuous circle is formed.

The seat of the head of the Ming Sect is still empty, and it is rumored that this seat is actually used to commemorate the Holy Celestial Maiden who founded the Ming Sect. And the Council of Elders, composed of several elders, is the ruling core of this sect.

At present, there are a total of seven elders in the Ming Sect, deducting Wu Jie, the great elder who sees the head and the tail of the divine dragon, as well as Almond and Xiao Chai, who are not suitable for the demon clan, the remaining four elders are all congenital masters.

Wu Xie naturally also met with the four elders. Lu Wei stepped into the innate realm with the help of Wu Xie back then, and Du Leisi had received Wu Jie's guidance, and both of them treated him as disciples. The other two elders were Ma Lu from the Northern Desert and Fang Xing, who was born in a merchant, these two elders had never met Wu Jie, but they had heard a lot about Wu Xie from others and were quite curious about him.

"The Great Elder is truly unfathomable! Even though he was right in front of me, I felt that he seemed to have an ethereal meaning, as if he would fly into the sky at any moment!"

"Yes! Fifty years ago, he was able to manipulate the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to help Elder Lu break through...... I don't know what realm he has reached now, I'm afraid he is already a first-class land immortal!"

When Wu Xie left, he heard the two talking about things related to him from a distance.

This trip to Sichen Town did not go well, and in the end, Almond was still not ready to go to Qingyang Mountain, and Xiao Chai listened to Almond's ......

Wu Xie just sighed slightly, put the matter down, and went to Yunmengze to see Ao Qi again.

Many years ago, Ao Qi said that he wanted to worship the Qingyang Temple, and now his thoughts have not changed.

Wu Xie encouraged him a few words, then said goodbye and left, returned to Changning City, and saw Xiao Buyi, who had just come out of the customs.

The last time he came, Xiao Buyi was in retreat, thinking about how to revitalize the Great Chu Kingdom, and now although he is out of the customs, there is no joy on his face, and he has nothing to gain.

Since the new monarch ascended the throne, the state of Great Chu has begun to decline slowly. This is partly because of the drought, and partly because the country's fortunes are slowly weakening

At the beginning of the star-picking battle, countless sacrifices were exchanged for a drizzle that lasted for several months, which greatly alleviated the disaster of drought. It also gave many people who had already reached a desperate situation a precious respite and did not die of sleepiness.

Perhaps it was a matter of God's wishes, and since then, the drought has been slowly abating. Now, although there is still a lack of rain in various places, it is no longer as dry as it was on the eve of the First World War.

At least...... The kind of cactus cultivated by Wu Xie can still grow smoothly.

Relying on these bitter-tasting cacti, the people of Kyushu struggled to make ends meet in a year of great drought. Decades of drought have left the earth scarred with cracks, and many younger people have never even seen the lush green land that preceded the drought.

This is a sad time, but it is also a time when there is hope.

According to Xiao Buyi's estimates, the drought will continue for more than a decade. But the drought will gradually weaken until it disappears completely.

"This catastrophe that should have been devastated seems to have been survived." Xiao Buyi said and bowed to Wu Xie as a salute, "Daoist friend Gaoyi, saving the common people from danger, it is really a great merit!"

Wu Xie couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and shook his head with a smile: "This is not my credit, but the credit of those people who have worked hard to fight the drought." I just planted something, and I ran a trick during the battle to pick up the stars, how dare I be greedy for the merit of heaven for myself......

The two had a long talk, and naturally also mentioned that Qingyang Guan will open the mountain gate in ten years.

"I remember that when I was preparing for the Star Picking Operation, the major sects made an oath that they were willing to restrain the development of the sect in the next hundred years and leave enough resources for the small sects...... It's only been ten years now, and you're opening the door, right?"

"I don't know either...... But judging from the meaning of the real person in charge, he is probably not embarrassed to really open the mountain gate, it is estimated that we will each find some qualified people, and barely get together a disciple, and it will be over. Wu Xie couldn't help but laugh as he spoke, "Xiao Daoyou, haven't you always envied the welfare of our famous family?" It's better to take this opportunity to join the Qingyang Temple, even if it is a nominal protector. ”

Xiao Buyi was stunned for a moment, closed his eyes and calculated, but still shook his head and refused.

"I am born with a thin blessedness, if I join the Qingyang Concept, although I can get the luck of your sect to strengthen my own luck, but it will inevitably involve your grievances and grievances, with my ability and luck, involved in that kind of thing, I am afraid that I will not live for a few days."

The matter was stopped, but Wu Xie went to the Great Chu Palace at Xiao Buyi's suggestion and met His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor who had received the martial arts treasure lamp from him.

Because of the daily exertion, the emperor looked a little older than his actual age. He was very happy about Ji Shihou's visit. When he heard that the Qingyang Sect was going to recruit disciples in ten years, he said that he would let his third son Xiong Jiong sign up for a try.

Xiong Jiong is seven years old this year, and his personality is a bit wooden and introverted, but he has a gentle temperament and a very good character. This kid is not a person who can inherit the throne well, rather than let him be a prince who is jealous of his brothers, it is better to let him go to the fairy mountain to seek the truth. Even if he finally fails to seek the Tao and dies in the mountains and forests, it is better than staying in the capital and being regarded as a thorn in the side of the new emperor.

Wu Xie secretly went to see Xiong Jiong, a child who was much more mature than his peers and always seemed to be sullen. But he did have a gentle personality and a good reputation among his subordinates.

Wu Xie secretly observed for a few days and nodded secretly.

This kid does seem to be a manufacturable material!
