Chapter 966: Bold Moves, Closing the Distance
The grass grows in Chengdu in March and the warbler flies, which is a good season for outing.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed since Gao Jingfei took charge of the Wutai sect portal as a great disciple of Huashan.
At this time, because of Qin Lang, the acting head of the sect, who was in charge of the portal, although many elders of Wutai were not as united as when Mixed Yuan was alive, they still walked around in Ciyun Temple from time to time, and the cohesion was a little higher than when Mixed Yuan was alive, this is because Qin Lang, the acting head of the sect who achieved true immortals at a young age, let them see hope.
Of course, there is also the Huashan Sect Leader Agni Patriarch who went to western Yunnan to meet with the Poison Dragon Venerable ten years ago, but was warned by the god Ni Youtan of the Chaoyin Cave of Baihua Mountain not far away, and then the Agni Patriarch went-for-tat, not afraid of the threat of the Buddhist elders, and played a great reputation with the strength of the immortals, so that Youtan was invincible and had to temporarily retreat.
Although it seems that Agni did not win, this battle has greatly boosted the morale of the side faction.
Because in the past, when the elders of the side doors encountered these elders of the righteous path of Buddhism, they all retreated, or they all fell behind and fled in embarrassment.
In the past, only the patriarch of Taiyi Mixed Yuan, who was recognized as the first person in the side door, was not afraid of those righteous immortals and Buddhas, but since the mixed yuan was killed by Emei Yin, there is no longer that kind of heart in the side door of the world.
And the battle of the Agni Fire obviously made Huashan a new pillar and benchmark for the side gate, so that the side door scattered and cultivated a lot of confidence, and also made the righteous path elders exclaim that the number of Heavenly Destiny Qi is shifting to the side door, which can be clearly seen from the resurgence of the Wutai faction and the prosperity of the Huashan faction.
The previous Youtan's move was a kind of temptation and suppression of this phenomenon by the Righteous Path Buddhism, but the goal was not achieved, but it further strengthened the momentum of the side door.
Although the Flame Dao people who had refined the Flame Thunder Sword and refined the Dry Heaven Fire Spirit Bead into the incarnation of the Second Yuan God had not stepped into that last step at this time, their strength had already surpassed the ordinary Heavenly Immortal Realm, and Youtan, who was also in the realm of Buddhism and Bodhisattva, of course had no way to take him, and he could not suppress the Agni Fire and Poison Dragon like the original.
For this result, many sword immortals were not surprised, the Flame Dao people were not those evil demons, and they were seriously controlled by Buddhism, on the contrary, the fire refining true text of Huashan Yan was also the Heavenly Book of the Fire Department of the Upper Realm, and the cards may not be as good as those Xuanmen Zhengfa of the righteous path, but because of Qin Lang, the orthodoxy of the Shenxiao faction completed the Xuangong of the Daomen, so it was only a little worse than the Emei Taiqing inheritance, and the combat effectiveness was not weak at all.
And the other two of the four major factions of the righteous path, the situation has also changed.
Such as the Wudang faction, because of the continuation of the Apocalypse Dynasty, did not suffer because of the fall of the Ming Dynasty in the original history, and was more powerful and active than in the original book, which is also a threat to the righteous group dominated by Emei, after all, Emei is domineering, Qingcheng is the younger brother who wears a pair of pants with him, and even Zhu Mei, one of the masters, was once a disciple of Emei Jingzi.
In history, Wudang declined because of the blow of the Ming Dynasty, Kunlun is because of the internal contradictions and the strength of Emei, both factions have lost the heart to compete for the leader of the righteous path, Emei can still tolerate the two factions to pick up some leftovers, but now Wudang has become stronger, and faintly solidarity with Kunlun, Emei and Qingcheng are naturally not good to let go of their hands and feet to hit the side door, so as not to be picked peaches.
Gao Jingfei, the initiator of this series of changes, has been in charge of the Wutai faction for more than ten years at this time, and he has also accepted several disciples, including Shi Sheng, who intercepted Hu Emei, and several descendants of overseas scattered immortals.
Especially one of the Shi Sheng, who is one of the seven dwarfs of Emei in the future, and is also the great-apprentice grandchild of Li Jingxu, the living Golden Immortal Bliss Zhenren, who helped Shi Sheng's mother Lu Rongbo get rid of the fate of the Yuan Shen Ascension, and accepted Shi Sheng into his own door in advance, which is a good move by Gao Jingfei.
This is equivalent to cutting off the relationship between the former Qingcheng faction represented by Li Jingxu and Emei, so that the existing originator of the Daoist Sect Elder Righteous Path is no longer biased towards Emei's side, at least to maintain neutrality or bias towards the side door.
In addition to Li Jingxu, the strength of those overseas scattered immortals gathered together is not small, which further weakens the branches of Emei in the future.
You must know that Li Jingxu, as the best friend of the Taiyi Mixed Yuan Patriarch, how could there be no dissatisfaction in his heart for the conspiracy against the mixed yuan by several juniors in Emei back then to achieve their goals? If he wins uprightly, he has nothing to say, but first a sneak attack and then a siege, even the mixed yuan defense treasure was stolen by traitors before the sword fight, and there is no shadow of Emei behind the scenes.
It's just that the general trend was in Emei before, in order for his subordinates to be able to catch Emei's car and successfully survive the catastrophe of heaven and earth, Li Jingxu could only pinch his nose and admit it.
Gao Jingfei saw Li Jingxu's difficulties from this, so he simply gave the other party another choice. Now Li Jingxu has more options than the original book, and the advantages of the two sides are gradually leveling out.
Others don't know, he, Li Jingxu, as the existing originator of the righteous path, how can he not know that among the golden immortals in the world, among the six most powerful monsters in the universe, there are few who look at Emei pleasing to the eye, even if the heart of the Buddha is like a god, and it was originally a side-door fairy Xin Ruyu who has been in the cultivation world for thousands of years, and the long eyebrows have to bow their heads temporarily when they see this girl.
And among them, whether it is the withered bamboo old man and Lu Yu of the second elder of Dongming, or the old man Cangxu of the Taixu One Yuan Patriarch of the Great Ghost Mountain sitting on the Tieling Qinghan Valley, the three of them are all from the side door, and the other two Asura Demon Palace's main corpse old man, the current first person of the Demon Sect, and the hidden Central Demon Sect Tiecheng Mountain Stone Divine Palace, the old demon lord Blood God Old Man, the first person of the ancient Demon Sect, not to mention these two, they must not be able to pee with Emei and Buddhism.
These are the strongest figures in the first-class of the Golden Immortals, and after the Emei side soared early in the Changmei and the previous generation, there are only two of the Heavenly Immortals, and the Golden Immortals rely on the support of the Buddhas, and those old immortals stay in the world, in order to take advantage of the catastrophe of the end of the law to further prosper the Buddhism?
It is estimated that a lot of Buddhist treasures will be given to the three generations of disciples of Emei in the future, and this kind of backdoor listing, Li Jingxu has lived for so many years, and he has long known it.
Although the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism seems to be a sectarian dispute in the secular court, in the Xuanmen, the Taoist sect has always been vigilant about Buddhism, and even went west to Tianzhu to investigate, only to learn that Buddhism was originally a heresy expelled by the local sect of Tianzhu in that year, and later carried forward in Siam, Zhenla and other places in the southeast and Middle Earth, and its demagogic means are indeed far stronger than the Taoist sect.
For two thousand years, it was the Upper Realm Ethereal Immortal Realm, and now nearly half of it has been dyed into the Pure Land of the Western Heavenly Buddha Kingdom, which is obviously problematic, and it involves the dispute of Taoism, so it is impossible for Li Jingxu not to be vigilant.
At this time, Qin Lang threw an olive branch to this blissful real person on behalf of the two major forces of the Huashan faction and the Wutai faction, although Li Jingxu did not come forward directly because of his scruples about the attitude of Emei and Buddhism, but it can be seen from his attitude that he did not come forward, this is a tacit acquiescence to Qin Lang, the first person of the younger generation of the two factions of the side sect who is now famous, to arrange Shi Sheng.
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
