In July of the seventeenth year of Kang Yuan, the Northern Qi Dynasty drove the southern expedition, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was weak, and it was broken in only three months. On the day of the destruction of the capital Jinling, it was extremely tragic, and the red lotus fire fell in the darkness, turning the palace into ashes.

Since then, the blood of the small country of the Southern Tang Dynasty has been cut off, and there are many more displaced people in the world.

......

......

At the beginning of February of the first year of the Holy King, fifty miles away from the mountain gate of Wanshizong, Qingshi Town.

The snow was white as far as the eye could see, and the passers-by wore thick furs and rubbed their hands together from time to time to warm up, and their bare skin was unnaturally red because of the cold.

The crowd was also mixed with well-dressed young men and women, all of whom were proud, dressed in plain and luxurious clothes, wearing swords at their waists, walking in the clouds, and carrying equally carved boys and girls beside them. Whenever they saw them approaching from afar, the townsfolk would stop and bow their respects, "Immortal Chief." ”

Although there were many elderly people among the greetings, these young people with children did not slow down, and they took the compliments of the townspeople as a matter of course, and hurried to come and go.

The "rudeness" of the immortal elders, the townspeople have long been accustomed to it, they looked at the children who were held in the hands of the immortal chief with envy, and looked forward to their descendants being favored by the immortal elders of the Ten Thousand Beginnings Sect and stepping on the Jindan Avenue.

As the head of the Xiuzhen Alliance, Wan Shi Sect is strict in accepting disciples, and most likes to be young, and every five years he will send his inner disciples to look for children and men with good qualifications, preferably between the ages of five and fourteen. Of course, not every boy or woman who is brought up the mountain will be admitted to the mountain gate, and most of those who are not selected will be sent home, and Xiang Dao Xinsheng will stay at the outer gate, and there will be a teacher at the inner gate to teach the cultivation of condensing qi. Among them, those who have outstanding grades and succeed in building a foundation may be favored by their elders in the biennial selection of outer disciples and become official disciples.

In fact, because of the leadership status of the Ten Thousand Beginnings Sect, although the selection was harsh, the number of outer disciples who had been stranded for thousands of years was never less than 1,000. Most of them are middle-class and upper-class seniors, and they can be core disciples when they enter ordinary sects, but they would rather stay in the Wanshi Sect as an unappreciated outer disciple.

For the avenue, for immortality.

"It's a pity that the Southern Tang Dynasty was wiped out by the Northern Qi, otherwise, we might have one more little ancestor. ”

Looking at the crowd downstairs, Sang Yang, a man in a green shirt sitting by the window, had a feeling for a while, and the four of them had just escorted the children and men with good bones found in the Huainan area to the elders, and they had a three-day rest, and met in this small town at the foot of the mountain to drink tea and taste the dusty heart.

"Impossible. I heard that although the prince was a rare genius for a thousand years, he had never come into contact with monks because of the scruples of the Southern Tang Emperor. Although she is Puyu, she is over sixteen years old and is no longer among the disciples I have sent. ”

Lu Su, who was sitting opposite Sangyang, said boringly, although he was known as a genius in his hometown, but when he arrived at the place where Wan Shizong was handsome, he was also unnoticed.

"Which Uncle Taishi is interested in him?"

"It's the master. ”

The woman in light red said in a low voice, although her cultivation is not high, but because she is a rare female cultivator, coupled with her gentle temperament, she is quite popular in the sect, and the news is also extremely well-informed.

"Sect Leader, Senior Sister Qiong Ying Are You Sure Isn't it Senior Ancestor Fengqi who heard that he was born handsome and peerless, and asked the Sect Leader to accept apprentices?"

Lu Su said sourly, he is the fifteenth generation disciple, and it is inconvenient to evaluate the Fengqi Master Ancestor who is the daughter of the sect, but the Fengqi Master Ancestor has always looked at the handsome and beautiful young man differently, but everyone knows it.

When Qiong Ying heard this, she knew that he was jealous, so she hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "This time it's not the suggestion of the Fengqi Grand Master, it is the proposal of the Liuying Tai Ancestor. ”

"Flowing Firefly Grand Master, could he-"

"Yes, Jindan. ”

Before Qiong Ying's words were finished, Sang Yang and Lu Su both gasped. They have been cultivating in the Ten Thousand Origin Sect for more than 20 years, and they have just crossed the middle stage of foundation building, and it is unbelievable that a person who has never cultivated the Tao should marry Dan at the age of sixteen.

"Are you sure?"

Qiong Ying looked around and whispered: "In March last year, I went to Liuying Taishi Ancestor with my master, and I heard Liuying Taishi Ancestor and Jiang Lu Taishi Ancestor talk about the Southern Tang Dynasty, saying that he was a genius who was rare to see in a thousand years, and he actually ...... just because he read through the Daozang Sense heaven and earth, form a golden pill!"

"What!"

The formation of the golden pill means that the monk has taken the first step to sense heaven and earth, and the road to heaven has been opened since then. Even in the Ten Thousand Masters Sect, which is full of talents, knotting is a big deal. Therefore, the people who are not able to make a mistake about it!

Looking at the faces of the juniors and disciples with a mixture of shock and jealousy, the only one of the four in the late stage of foundation building finally opened his mouth.

In this way, Li Yeyin is indeed a genius. It's a pity that he died on the night when the Northern Qi broke the Southern Tang. ”

Ten months ago, the Northern Qi, which had been in obscurity for ten years, attacked in one fell swoop, and the southward movement was like a bamboo, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was forced into a desperate situation in just three months. In the battle of breaking the city, the national teacher Ku Ze personally led the black-clothed monk into the palace, killed the Southern Tang Dynasty national teacher Li Yundao in the battle, and seriously injured Li Yeyin, who had just married Jindan. Since then, the Southern Tang Dynasty has been erased, and the Northern Qi Dynasty announced the change of the Yuan, which is the first year of the Holy King.

"Didn't you find the body?"

"How could it be possible to find the body, the entire palace was scorched by the red lotus fire of the withered old bald donkey. ”

"But several masters didn't seem to give up, and Senior Sister Yingqiu accompanied Liuying Taizu to explore the ruins of the Southern Tang Imperial Palace last month. Speaking of this, Qiong Ying lowered her voice again: "Senior Sister Yingqiu told me privately that the Flowing Ying Tai Ancestor suspected that the flame that burned the Southern Tang Imperial Palace was not the Red Lotus Fire, but - Heaven, Tribulation, Karma, Fire!"

"Heavenly Tribulation Karmic Fire?"

All the people were silent, the Heavenly Tribulation Karma Fire, it was actually the Heavenly Tribulation Karma Fire!

When the legendary monk who survived more than five heavenly tribulations changed his life against the sky, he would send down the karmic fire of the heavenly tribulation that burned everything!

Although the Northern Qi National Teacher cultivated to a high level, he was only in the late Yuan Infant period, and he did not have the ability to lead the Heavenly Tribulation Karmic Fire.

Even the Supreme Master Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Beginnings Sect is only the realm of the first glimpse of the Heavenly Tribulation.

After being suppressed by the words "Heavenly Tribulation Karmic Fire", Sang Yang finally said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that there are great supernatural cultivators living in seclusion in the Southern Tang Dynasty?"

But if the Southern Tang Dynasty really had such legendary figures, how could they let the Northern Qi trample on their territory?

Unwilling to admit that there is indeed a genius in the world who is as far away as the moon for them, they avoid the truth.

"Who knows? ”

Talking boringly, he didn't notice that a little beggar had slipped near their table without realizing it.

At the age of twelve or thirteen, he had unkempt hair, a thin face with yellow color, and only a pair of big eyes that were extraordinarily shining. The body that had not been bathed for a long time exuded a sour smell, the clothes were dirty and torn, and the two calves were covered with mud and frostbite. Hungry, she is like a withered grass, which may be blown away by the wind at any time.

But even if she was embarrassed and dirty, the girl still had the nobility and indescribable elegance of the past, perhaps because of this, when she walked into Wangxiang Tower and walked to the table of the immortal elders of the Ten Thousand Origin Sect, no one thought of throwing this dirty and smelly little beggar out of the coffin.
