Shushan.

As the saying goes, the mountain is not high, the name is immortal, the water is not deep, and the dragon is spiritual.

And as Shuzhou and even the whole world is extremely famous immortal mountain blessed land, Shushan is one of the representatives, when it comes to the size of the mountain range, the height of the peak, Shushan is not even as good as Wudang Mountain.

But Shushan has an honor that no other force has, that is, the Shu of Shuzhou, which comes from the Shu of Shushan.

Although Shu Mountain is not the top mountain in the world, but it can definitely be called the blessed land of fairy mountain, looking up from the foot of the mountain, you can only see the white mist, the fairy air is pervasive.

Occasionally, between the frolicking of white cranes and the fairy mist, there is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, which is fascinating.

As one of the top ten immortal sects in the world, the holy land of sword cultivation, the conditions for accepting apprentices in Shushan are naturally very high, and they will accept apprentices once every ten years, and it is precisely in the name of the sword sacrifice conference that they accept apprentices.

Therefore, in fact, many people come here to witness this, or to send their young sons and daughters to Shushan to practice.

Sword cultivation emphasizes comprehension, which is also a kind of qualification.

Of course, if the roots and bones are good, it is naturally better, after Chen Yuan came to the vicinity of Shu Mountain, he saw many such people, and there were at least hundreds of children under the age of ten.

But if there are children in the family who have good roots, they will be sent to Shushan to give it a try, yes, although it is difficult to worship Shushan, but once the worship is successful, it is equivalent to finding a backer for their own forces.

This is the case with the Liu family of Cao County, who once had a grudge against Chen Yuan, it is precisely because Liu Changkong worshiped the Qingyun Sword Sect that the Liu family can flourish in Cao County, although the sect will not necessarily help, but with this name, many people will still not take risks.

Chen Yuan, as the current governor of the three southern states, is definitely a distinguished guest even for Shushan, and the moment he showed the invitation, the post station that greeted foreign guests was a bit of a sensation.

He was respectfully invited by a Danjing Grandmaster of Shushan to wait in the upper hall of the post station, but in a quarter of an hour, a voice came from outside:

"Lord Wu'anhou Chen is here?"

Chen Yuan had already noticed it when someone was approaching, and after hearing this, he jumped into the void and looked at the two figures in front of him.

An old man with gray hair and a purple robe has nothing to look at, but he has a dust-removing temperament, and the other is his old acquaintance, Bai Changqing.

"Poor Dao Shenxuan, I've seen Lord Chen."

The purple-robed old man raised his hand and saluted, and said with a smile.

"Brother Chen."

Bai Changqing also smiled.

"It turned out to be the Divine Void Dao Master." Chen Yuan suddenly heard the name of the five elders of Shushan a long time ago, and it was as famous as the seven sons of Wudang, and it was the most top-level existence in Shushan.

Although he only has the cultivation of God Refining, Chen Yuan will not underestimate him.

In fact, it is definitely a privilege to be greeted by the five elders of Shushan in person, which can also see the change in Chen Yuan's status now, when he went to Wudang Mountain, it was only Zuo Chengzong to greet him, but this time, it was Bai Changqing and Shenxu who were together.

"It seems that the old man's little name has also entered the ears of Wu Anhou." The Divine Void Daoist stroked his long beard and smiled.

"Shuzhou, the five old towns of Shushan, Chen is naturally a long-admired name."

came to other people's territory, and the other party also showed goodwill, Chen Yuan is naturally not the kind of aggressive person, and it is natural to compliment a few words.

"Hehe, Lord Chen, please go up the mountain for a while, Senior Brother is waiting in the Wuji Palace." The Divine Void Daoist raised his hand and bowed.

"Okay."

Chen Yuan bowed slightly, and Yukong came to the two of them, and under the envious gaze of countless people below, they gradually drifted away.

"That's Lord Chen Yuan, Marquis of Wu'an, it's really a big face, and he can actually let the Divine Void Dao Master greet him personally." Someone looked at the backs of the three and sighed.

"This is natural, Chen Yuan is an important minister of the imperial court in the south of the governor, and his talent is rare in thousands of years, even if Shushan is a holy land of immortals, he does not dare to slack off."

"I'm just a little curious, why Wu'an Hou came to Shushan to participate in the sword sacrifice conference, it's really rare."

Shushan sacrificial sword once every ten years, every hundred years is a grand meeting of rivers and lakes, at that time will let many Xianmen strong people come here to congratulate Shushan, but once every ten years, in fact, not many people come.

Supporting death is just a grand event in Shuzhou, and sometimes the scope is only in the east of Shu, and it is really surprising that Chen Yuan can come this time.

"Looking down, this time Wu'anhou should be here to worship the mountain."

"Why?"

"Hehe, the world knows the name of Shushan, especially in Shuzhou, which has a huge reputation, although Wu'an Hou is strong, but sometimes he has to rely on the power of the rivers and lakes.

Before, he was too busy to let go, but this time I'm afraid it won't be the case, Wu Anhou wants to be faced, as an official of the imperial court, it is always a little inappropriate.

But with the help of the sacrificial sword conference, it is different, not only to save face, but also to make friends with Shushan..."

Some people seem to be looking at the fire, and they are full of energy to analyze Chen Yuan's intentions for the people around them.

"What Daoyou said is not unreasonable."

......

......

The judgment of the martial artists of the rivers and lakes is already far away, Chen Yuan naturally can't hear it, of course, even if he hears it, he just smiles and doesn't explain anything.

The purpose of his coming to Shushan can not be exposed, naturally it is still hidden, and people outside will guess about them, and it will not be good.

Shushan seems to be close at a time, but in fact, it is still dozens of miles away from the previous city, and the speed of Chen Yuan's three people in the sky is not fast, but they are talking and laughing in the void.

There is quite a sense of fairy escape.

The Divine Void Daoist praised Chen Yuan for acting decisively, vigorously and resolutely, and his talent was rare through the ages, and Chen Yuan praised the Shushan Sword Dao Divine Sect, which was unrivaled in the world.

In short, it is a commercial blow.

And looking at Chen Yuan, who was on an equal footing with the division commander and even had a slight upper hand, Bai Changqing suddenly felt a little touched, he had already accepted that Chen Yuan was far superior to him before.

There was shock, and there was envy, but it was just because Chen Yuan rose too fast, and he didn't have any complicated thoughts.

But now it's different, Chen Yuan, who is on an equal footing with the five elders of Shushan, has opened a really insurmountable gap with him, and even makes him really want to say from the bottom of his heart that being born in the same era as Chen Yuan is both lucky and unfortunate.

He is the contemporary elder brother of Shushan, one of the five elders of Shushan in the future, even though his talent is amazing, but after all, the seniority is here, and he still has to be respectful in the face of the teacher.

By analogy, isn't he a lifetime shorter than Chen Yuan?

The distance of Shushan is a little far, but it is just that, talking and laughing, the three of them quickly arrived at Shushan, the big array seems to have spirituality, and the white mist separates a road.

Bai Changqing was in front, Chen Yuan was behind, and they stepped into the territory of Shushan together.

The Shu Mountain is even more miraculous, the large array connects the heavens and the earth, and the concentration of vitality is not inferior to the former Yuan Sky Realm, and the more you go inside, the more intense the vitality becomes.

The sword immortal figures in the sky can be seen everywhere, and the fierce sword qi slashes through the sky, and hundreds of disciples are practicing below, which is really a holy place for immortals.

Between the mountains, at a glance, there are palaces and palaces, white cranes and fairy birds.

The most magnificent is the Wuji Hall in the middle of Shu Mountain, after Bai Changqing entered Shu Mountain, he took the initiative to leave and prepare a residence for Chen Yuan, while Shenxu invited Chen Yuan to enter the palace.

This place is very peaceful, in fact, it is a little different from the Shushan that Chen Yuan expected at the beginning, he originally thought that Shushan cultivated the way of the sword, it should be a fierce wind.

But there is no slaughter, only peace.

In front of the Taiji Palace, an old man with a tall crane hair and a childish face stood in front of him, with a smile on his face, his robe was dark purple, and his bearing was extraordinary, not as sharp as Jiang He, but with a majestic momentum.

A hundred zhang away, Chen Yuan didn't recognize this person, but he could deduce the identity of this person, it must be the head of Shushan Mountain, the head of the five elders, the top ten of the Supreme Heavenly List, Ling Xuan Zhenjun!

As the ruler of the Immortal Gate, although Ling Xuan Zhenjun rarely made a move, Ke Dengxian Lou still included the unparalleled Shushan Sword Immortal in the top ten of the Supreme List.

As for its true strength, no one knows yet.

"Wu Anhou, I have been poor for a long time."

Before Chen Yuan could get closer, the laughter of Ling Xudao people reached his ears, there was nothing strange about it, it seemed to be just an ordinary old man.

"Ling Xu's true monarch's name, Chen has also admired it for a long time."

Chen Yuan fell from the void to the ground and walked closer.

"Please."

Ling Xudao nodded slightly, and invited Chen Yuan to enter the Taiji Hall for a while, and the Shenxu Daoist on the side moved in his ears, and he understood in his heart, and said with a smile:

"Master Chen, there are still some trivial matters to deal with in the poor road, so I won't accompany you."

"The Divine Void Dao is self-sufficient."

"Okay."

......

......

There is no one else in the Taiji Hall.

The remaining three of the five elders of Shushan, Chen Yuan had no chance to see them for the time being, and Ling Xudao seemed to see Chen Yuan's curiosity and explained:

"The Demon Suppression Tower has changed recently, and the three junior disciples have gone to deal with this matter, so Lord Chen doesn't have to see outside."

"Isn't it hundreds of years since the demon clan powerhouses in the Demon Suppression Tower were suppressed? Why are there any changes in recent days? Chen Yuan had no intention of mentioning the Demon Suppression Tower, but since Ling Xuan had opened this head, he would take the opportunity to ask.

"It's not surprising that it happens every once in a while."

"I see...."

Chen Yuan smiled.

"Lord Chen came to Shushan this time, I'm afraid it's not just to see the sword sacrifice conference, right?" Ling Xudao's eyes seemed to be perceptive, and he sensed Chen Yuan's abnormal behavior.

"The Shushan Sword Sacrifice Conference is a grand event in Shuzhou, and Chen is also seeing it for the first time, why can't he come to participate? Why did Daoist Ling Xuan say this? ”

Chen Yuan asked rhetorically.

Seeing Chen Yuan like this, Ling Xudao looked at him with a smile and said:

"Lord Chen, the governor of the three southern states, has recently annexed the entire seven prefectures of Shuxi, and the land of the prefectures in Shuzhong is in the bag, which can be called a great opportunity, and it is naturally impossible to just participate in a small meeting once every ten years."

Chen Yuan's original face with a smile on his face froze for a moment, his smile froze for a moment, and his heart was shocked, he didn't expect that his identity as the real controller behind Shuxi had been known by Shushan.

Not only that, Ling Xudao also directly broke this matter, which was really beyond some of his expectations.

Chen Yuan controls Shuxi, and never expects to hide from everyone in the world, what he wants is to make people confused in a short period of time, so as to improve his strength as much as possible.

In fact, he now has the strength to annex Shuzhong, but it is also because of this reason, coupled with other measurements, that he finally decided not to do it, but the Shangguan clan and the Liu clan to add fuel to the fire.

The smile froze, the dark color on Chen Yuan's face flashed, and he frowned and asked:

"What does Ling Xuan Daoyou mean by this? When was the Seven Prefectures of Shuxi annexed by Chen? The sword can be cultivated indiscriminately, but sometimes the words can't be said nonsense, Chen Mou's heart is for the country and his loyalty, if such a rumor spreads, where will Chen be placed? ”

Ling Xu's face was not different, and he continued:

"Lord Chen was forced to marry by Jingtai in the capital, and the palace openly collided, you want to be loyal to the country, but the emperor doesn't think so, a peerless genius like you is both a good thing and a hidden danger, if you are not completely chained, the emperor and the Sima family will not give up, there will be a battle between you, right?"

"The court does not live up to me, and Chen does not live up to the court."

"If that's the case, why did Master Hou prepare early? The Seven Prefectures of Shuxi, Qingzhou Tangshan, these are probably the back hands of the Hou Ye, and they want to fight in the future. ”

"If Ling Xu's Daoyou really says so, then Chen is irrefutable, but those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, and there will be public opinion." No matter how he cheats, Chen Yuan just won't admit it.

"Master Hou doesn't have to worry, there is a natural gap between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, in fact, Shushan is unwilling to support the Sima family to do the world." Ling Xuan Zhenjun shook his head slowly.

"If that's the case, when the former Chu was destroyed, why did Shushan help?" Chen Yuan didn't believe this old man's nonsense at all, as far as he knew, when the forces of Qianchu were divided, there was Shushan.

It is precisely because of this that Shushan has completely established its authority in Shudong!

Prior to this, although Shushan was an immortal gate, the suppression of the former Chu court was too heavy, and there was no such situation as it is now.

"How does Master Hou know that Shushan didn't help?" Ling Xudao smiled and stood with his hands in his hands, there was a divine wheel in front of him, and a trace of remembrance flashed in his eyes.

"Could it be that Shushan has also helped Qianchu?"

"Shushan never owes anyone affection, thousands of years ago when Shushan was first built, the former Chu Taizu once helped, this kindness, five hundred years ago the battle of the demon was returned to half, Shushan's vitality was greatly damaged, more than two hundred years ago, Shushan also went to the other half, my Shushan Sword Immortal at the cost of the fall, helped the Xiang family once."

"Could it be that Ling Xudao Elder deceived me into being young and ignorant of the world, and actually deceived me with this remark?" Whether it was from the mouth of his second uncle Chen Huaiyi or Moro's predecessors, he had never heard that Shushan had helped Qianchu more than two hundred years ago, but he only knew that Shushan took advantage of the collapse of Qianchu and its power soared.

Almost the entire land of Shudong was included in the territory, and since then it has completely established the reputation of the Sword Sect Holy Land.

"What good is it to be poor if I deceive you? I didn't want to say anything about this matter, but now I have to say that more than two hundred years ago, the immortals of the former Chu royal family sent a message asking for help, hoping that Shushan would do its best, help the Xiang family put down the rebellion, and at the cost of half of Shuzhou, Shushan was crowned as the state religion. ”

"And then?"

The immortal agreed to this, but in order not to let the entire Shushan be completely plunged into the flames of war, he just left alone, and since then there has been no news, only a remnant sword has returned to the sword mound.

There has never been a rumor of this matter in the rivers and lakes, and no one in the world knows about it, but only the five elders of Shushan know the truth, and my Shushan Sword Immortal will never steal his life.

The fairy sword has been broken, and it will inevitably fall. Later, after the poor Taoist master carefully weighed it, he knew that the general trend was irreversible, and the favor owed by Shushan to the Xiang family was completely repaid, so he took the opportunity to bite off a piece of meat from the Sima family's body, Shudong was secretly controlled by my Shushan, and the Sima family did not know about it, otherwise they would never tolerate Shushan, and it would be suppressed like a goddess palace. ”

After Ling Xudao finished speaking, he turned to look at Chen Yuan with a solemn expression.

Chen Yuan judged the truth of this matter in his heart, but there was no difference in his complexion, and he said:

"This official is the marquis of ten thousand households who is personally sealed by the imperial court, and Ling Xudao said these things in front of this official, aren't you afraid that this matter will be stabbed in front of Your Majesty?"

"Don't be afraid."

"Huh?"

"In the first battle of Liangshan, the world was in turmoil, the imperial court had begun to shrink its power, the three southern states had been abandoned, and it would become a place of chaos in the future.

The imperial court does not have the strength to come to crusade against Shushan, and after all, it is an old thing, even if you say it, the emperor will pretend not to know, and in addition, you will not say it. ”

"Is the Taoist too confident?" Chen Yuan sneered.

Ling Xudao people chuckled a few times and said:

"Now Lord Chen doesn't even dare to go to Zhongzhou, how can he report this matter, besides, Shushan has no intention of helping the imperial court, which is actually a good thing for you."

"Chen is an official of the imperial court, why don't you dare to enter Zhongzhou?"

Chen Yuan remained silent, unmoved by Ling Xu's words.

"Do you really want to be poor?"

"Speaking of which, it doesn't matter if the Taoist chief doesn't say it, just say it." Chen Yuan smiled, he really wanted to see what else this old man was bored with.

Chen Yuan realized that from the moment he stepped into the Wuji Palace, Ling Xudao was pulling in this direction intentionally or unintentionally, even if he didn't let the other party say it, the other party would take a detour and say it again.

Ling Xudao said the word 'good', and stared at Chen Yuandao very seriously:

"Because you are the Dao God Palace Lin Demon True Monarch who has repeatedly disturbed the good things of the imperial court!"

"Boom!

！ ”

This sentence was no less than a thunderclap on the ground, and Chen Yuan's heart tightened, and he quickly thought about where his identity was revealed, but in the entire rivers and lakes, there were only a few people who knew his identity, and it was impossible to betray him.

Ling Xu's old bull's nose is cheating him!

In an instant, Chen Yuan figured out the secret.

His eyes looked at Ling Xudao:

"Nonsense! This official swears that the Demon Dao is not in the same heaven, how can it be some Lin Demon Dao Master of the Dao Divine Palace? This official cultivation is not enough to refine the gods, how can he match the true monarch?

Even if the Taoist chief makes up nonsense, he must respect his own official. ”

"Who said that refining gods can't match the true monarch? Yang God True Monarch can go against the sky and cut immortals, as the first day of the millennium after Chu Taizu, a peerless genius who has crossed the ranks in his life, with the help of Qilin Divine Blood, it is not impossible to match the True Monarch! ”

Ling Xudao said in a deep voice.

"If the Taoist is still talking such nonsense, Chen has no choice but to wave his sleeves and leave."
