Chapter 61 On Maoshan Mountain
Jiangzhen City, located on the eastern coast, is the place where the mountain gate of the Maoshan faction is located.
Yuwen Haoran walked alone on the streets of the center of Jiangzhen. Five days ago, he agreed to Qingfeng's invitation and came to Maoshan alone to visit the current head Tao Yuansheng. He couldn't figure out why he wanted to see him for a while, and from Qingfeng's expression, he could see that their Maoshan faction didn't have much hatred for him, and even the alliance seemed to have to deal with him as a last resort.
I didn't think about these anymore, but instead enjoyed the scenery of Sanmao Mountain. The Maoshan sect is also one of the long-established branches of Taoism, but the Maoshan sect has been very low-key in the past dynasties, and is not praised by the world except for some legends about ghosts and monsters. It's not even as famous as the Wudang Sect, but Yuwen Haoran knows that it is this seemingly inconspicuous sect that has a pivotal position in the cultivation world.
I have seen from some of the fragments of the Daozang Pavilion of the Heavenly Master Sect that the Maoshan Sect's Charm Method and Shangqing Dao Method are highly valued even by the large Xiuzhen Sect that is as strong as the Kunlun Sect. And those who have reached the Jindan realm in the Maoshan sects of the past dynasties are all guests who can become the guests of the various Taoist sects in the cultivation realm, and the Huangting Neijing of their own cultivation is also the most orthodox cultivation method. Even in the secular world, some of the disciples in the sect are also favored by some high-ranking officials and wealthy people, after all, they are more professional in handling some more unnatural things.
Yuwen Haoran, who went up to the mountain, pretended to be an ordinary pilgrim and walked through the halls with the crowd. Like all the famous mountains, this is also the place where pilgrims petition and worship in the front mountain, only some ordinary secular disciples shuttle through it, and the support of the main hall is an acquired master, who is mainly responsible for guarding this place to prevent a trace of ill-intentioned secular people from making trouble, and there is not much threat to those Jianghu disciples.
After walking around the front mountain, he quietly entered according to the route given to him by Aomine, in a hidden small door behind the main hall. Inside the gate is a quiet garden, pavilions, attics, Langhuan water pavilions, rockeries, trees, and no one in the garden.
Yuwen Haoran admired the beautiful scenery everywhere and slowly walked towards the innermost part of the garden, and at the end of the walk was a courtyard wall. The wall was five or six meters high and painted with red paint, and he walked towards it without the slightest hesitation. There was no collision with the wall, as if it had passed through a wall of water, and there were ripples on the red wall.
Entering it is an internal force, and inside is a large room. If you look closely, it is the same as the layout in the main hall before, just like a copy. The only difference is that there are not so many restraints in it, and there are no various Taoist children and hosts shuttling in between. There is a door on the right side of the hall, and there is a solemn sound of reciting the Yellow Court inside.
"Since Yuwen Shaoxia is here, why don't you come into my side hall and sit down?"
The sound of recitation suddenly stopped, and an old and majestic voice rang out.
Yuwen Haoran smiled secretly and walked into the side hall. I saw that the inside was very simple, only a table of eight immortals was covered with an apricot yellow tablecloth. On the table was only a set of purple sand teapots and a brass lamp. In the east corner of the wall are two yellow futons, on which two people are sitting. One was a Taoist boy in his teens, holding a yellowed thread-bound book, and the other was a spirited old man wearing a shabby Taoist robe. The robe was very clean, but it no longer had the original color of the fabric.
The old man looked at Yuwen Haoran with a kind smile on his face, and the dust in his hand was obliquely held in his arms. The child looked him up and down with interest with a pair of big smart eyes, and his face showed a deep curiosity.
"Xiao Jiu, why don't you pour tea for Shaoxia?" the old man said with a smile, and his tone was very soft.
The child's face was happy, and he jumped up and walked to the table, picked up the purple clay pot and poured two clear springs into the two small teacups. A refreshing fragrance of tea emanated, and after the child poured the tea, he looked at the old man with begging eyes, his mouth was high, and the old man scolded with a smile.
"Hehe, you little monkey, I knew you couldn't sit still. It's not bad today and I've finally finished my homework, let's go out and play, but I can't go out of the yard, and I'm guarded by whoever stops me. β
The child's face was happy, and his head kept lit like a chicken pecking rice.
"Ancestor, I know. β
The old man looked at his back and his face was full of kindness, and he could see that he was very fond of this child.
"The boy from the Yuwen family visited the head of Tao. β
Yuwen Haoran said it, but he just bent down and made a meritorious gift. There was not much respect on his face, he still had very big doubts in his heart, and he would not accept them with a heart when he did not thoroughly understand the intentions of their Maoshan faction.
The old man also saw his thoughts, but he did not make any dissatisfaction or resentment. He still has a kind smile on his face, but his eyes are shining with wisdom. Yuwen Haoran didn't dare to look at his eyes at random, he felt that those eyes were like heavenly eyes that could see all the secret things in the world, he just glanced at it inadvertently, and felt that all his secrets had been seen through by him, and this feeling made him very disgusted.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. Shaoxia doesn't have to be so polite, but it's a bit abrupt to let Shaoxia come this time, and please don't be too careful. Qingfeng is just passing the word on his behalf. β
Yuwen Haoran hurriedly lowered his head and said: "The seniors misunderstood, and the juniors didn't feel dissatisfied and blamed, but they just had some doubts. I came here today to hope that the seniors can solve the kid's doubts, and the younger generations are willing to listen. β
"Hehe, you kid is really slippery enough, no wonder it's difficult to trap you even when the various major sects jointly lay a big net. But are Shaoxia going to keep hiding? You must know that the Emei faction has never really regarded that girl as their own disciple, isn't Shaoxia afraid that they will really be unfavorable to that girl after a long time? Although they will not hurt that girl's life, but these people have a lot of means to force you to show up, Shaoxia is not worried at all?"
After Yuwen Haoran heard his series of questions, he had a glimmer of understanding in his heart. He thought that this old way should want to provoke himself to break the formation, this is his real purpose. But then I thought about it, and it seemed that something was wrong. If it's just so simple, he doesn't have to be like this at all, as long as they send out the rumor that they will take measures against Yuwen Xiuxiu, they can achieve the goal of forcing themselves to fight.
The old man looked at Yuwen Haoran, who was thinking, and still had that smile on his face: "Hehe, what's the matter?
"Seniors, please forgive the juniors for being rude. The juniors do think so, but the seniors shouldn't have invited me to go up the mountain for this reason, but the juniors are stupid for a while but can't guess the seniors' intentions. I also ask for some advice from my predecessors. Yuwen Haoran thought for a while and said respectfully.
Tao Yuansheng had a look of appreciation on his face, picked up the teacup on the table and gestured to Yuwen Haoran, and tasted the tea with his eyes slightly closed.
"Shaoxia, the old man's surname is Tao Mingyuansheng, and he has been in charge of my Maoshan branch for more than sixty years. Among them, some of the top secret things in the rivers and lakes are known a lot, and an accident twenty years ago has caused today's fruits. It is related to some higher-level involvement, I believe that Shaoxia also knows, in fact, everything that Shaoxia wants to know is there, but Lao Dao does not want Shaoxia to cause irreparable losses to the current major sects in the rivers and lakes. Tao Yuansheng looked at the frost on Yuwen Haoran's face, and felt a little distressed in his heart.
Yuwen Haoran certainly heard what he meant, and he just wanted to let go of these various sects that participated in the encirclement and suppression of him. And this happened to be against his own will, after many revenge and killings, his state of mind has been eroded by a very strong evil qi.
And the exercises he has been cultivating and the strength of his bloodline are all domineering, plus his own character is also extremely resolute and resolute. Tao Yuansheng had already discovered in him inadvertently, and his kind of domineering momentum had already been formed. What is an overlord? Overlord is that in addition to the top skills in the house, the most important thing is to have an extremely resolute persistence and extreme love for relatives.
Yuwen Haoran had sworn at the beginning that if he used his relatives to blackmail him or cause harm to the people around him, then he would retaliate a hundredfold in return. Now although there is a secret fight between him and the various major sects, it is already incompatible. It is impossible for him Yuwen Haoran to give up revenge, and the greed of the various sects will not give up their plans against him, so Tao Yuansheng's thoughts are too naΓ―ve.
"Senior, I, Yuwen Haoran, am the kind of person who doesn't cause trouble but is not afraid of it. The seniors already knew what I did in the Ten Thousand Bones Gate, but in fact, it was nothing, and I didn't do anything, everything was caused by Lei Yan's father and son in order to compete for power. β
Yuwen Haoran looked at the expression of understanding on Tao Yuansheng's face, and continued to speak, but these words shocked him completely.
"To tell you the truth, just before the junior came, I had already destroyed the entire Blood Demon Sect. Now the entire Blood Demon Sect is still out of the world, and there is not a single one left except for some disciples in Yundong City. β
His bland words dropped a bomb in Tao Yuansheng's heart, and at this time, Tao Yuansheng's face had long since lost the calm it had at the beginning, and his face was full of incredible surprise.
"How is it possible? You must know that there are three old monsters in the Blood Demon Sect that are more than three hundred years old, and they are the oldest of all the sects, so they can be said to be old goblins. Moreover, their strength has already reached an incredible level, how could you destroy the Blood Demon Sect by yourself?"
Yuwen Haoran was the biggest he wouldn't believe it, and he didn't open his mouth to defend it. However, a three-color jade disc rose strangely from the back of his head, hanging above his head and slowly turning, sprinkling a curtain of deep blue water that completely enveloped his body.
Tao Yuansheng's eyes widened, staring at the round-centered jade saucer, and the expression on his face changed in shock.
"If you're not mistaken, this should be the treasure of the legendary three monsters, right? I didn't expect it to be on your body, so it seems that the Blood Demon Sect has really been destroyed. So does Shaoxia plan to deal with our Maoshan faction next?"
"Why did the predecessors say this? I know that you Maoshan have a last resort, you don't have a deep relationship with me like the Heavenly Master Sect, nor do you have no foundation and shackles in the cultivation realm like the Wudang Sect. You have to do what they ask, even if it's pretending, so the juniors have never dealt with your disciples. In this junior, I want to say that in the future, I can let Qingfeng's seniors restrain their disciples, as long as they don't do evil, the juniors will not take them, of course, even if they pretend, don't act over, otherwise the juniors will also enter the play, and their consequences will not be like acting. β
Tao Yuansheng listened to Yuwen Haoran's threatening words, and his face turned red. But he didn't dare to act rashly, and it seemed that his plan had failed. I thought I could really trap him, but I didn't expect that his strength was beyond my imagination.
"Since Shaoxia has reached such a state, then Lao Dao has nothing to say, but I still hope that Shaoxia can make less killing, and don't let killing affect Shaoxia's heart. β
Yuwen Haoran ignored him, stood up and walked out with a 'hum', and disappeared on top of Maoshan after a while.
"Just let him go?"
The child walked in from outside, his face covered with frost, and stared at Tao Yuansheng coldly.
Tao Yuansheng stood up from the futon all of a sudden, bowed his head and whispered to the child in front of him: "Ninth Master, I can't help it, I don't know if the ancestor feels his cultivation?"
"Without a trace of induction, just like an ordinary person. It seems that he has long since transcended the realm of Jindan, and I believe that even Yuanying has already reached the late stage. You must know that what he sacrificed just now was a special superb magic weapon, although it was only a magic weapon, but he exceeded the power of the magic weapon, and he did not promote the magic weapon only because the refining materials were not very good. Judging from the mana fluctuations of that magic weapon just now, this treasure is in perfect form, which means that he has been completely refined by Yuwen Haoran, so he must have reached the late stage of the Yuan Infant, or even surpassed. β
Tao Yuansheng was already stunned, he couldn't have imagined that Yuwen Haoran, who was only in his thirties, had already reached a point that was beyond his reach.
For a while, the side hall was quiet, but this kind of picture was very weird. A small child sat on the table, casually drinking tea, while a gray-haired old man stood aside with a respectful face, quietly stunned
