Wanshou Mountain.

A place with beautiful scenery and picturesque scenery, it is also the dojo where Jiang's father and Jiang's mother first embarked on the road of cultivation.

Since the seclusion of Sanssouci Island, Jiang Lan has not returned to Wanshou Mountain for many years, after so many years of ups and downs, Wanshou Mountain has undergone a lot of changes compared to that year, but fortunately, the cave house of the year is still the same, thanks to the protection of the formation, if not, I am afraid that things will be wrong.

Revisiting the old place, Jiang Lan's mood was full of emotion.

After simply cleaning up the cave and the surrounding environment, Jiang Lan sat on the stone chair in front of the cave and closed his eyes to recuperate, quietly waiting for something.

In the middle of the day, several sounds of breaking the sky sounded in the sky, and a few rays of light came to the front of the cave, and there were also people who came on horseback and magic weapons, and there were as many as eight.

These eight people were old people, children, and women, and all sorts of people.

Since the battle of the Middle Ages, these eight people have their own fate and stepped into the realm of Da Luo Jin Immortal, and are known as the 'Eight Immortals'.

These eight people have Jiang Lan's old acquaintances, close friends, and Jiang Lan to bring their juniors, in short, they all have more or less friendship with Jiang Lan, after all, as the first person in the casual cultivation world of the year, Jiang Lan still has a lot of face in the casual cultivation world.

"Haha! Brother Jiang is no longer happy on Sanssouci Island, and he has set foot in Dongsheng Shenzhou, is this planning to re-emerge from the mountain? If this is the case, it was a great pleasure at that time, and today I can't say that I want to have a good drink, happy and happy! ”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, with a big belly, a wide body and a fat body, wearing coarse clothes and bast shoes, bare-chested and exposed breasts, holding a lotus leaf mountain, fanning the cool breeze from time to time, looking informal, and grinning.

This person's name is Zhong Quan, who is also a legend in the scattered cultivation world, before practicing was an official of the imperial court, sitting in a state, holding heavy power, but middle-aged adventures, getting the ancient method of cultivation, abandoning official practice, the road is also twists and turns, fortunately, the emperor lives up to his heart, and finally succeeds, after the Middle War, he was promoted to the realm of Daluo Jinxian and became the number one person in Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Zhong Quan and Jiang Lan have a very good relationship and can be described as close friends.

This person is similar to the wine and sword fairy, he is a good wine in his life, no matter what happens, he always likes to have a drink, and everyone jokes about him as a 'drunkard' behind his back.

"No see for years! Brother Jiang's demeanor is still the same, congratulations! ”

"Senior Jiang! The younger generation is polite! ”

"I've seen Jiang Senpai!"

“………………”

After Zhong Quan said hello, the other seven people saluted Jiang Lan one after another.

Although the eight of them are called the 'Eight Immortals' by the outside world, this is the praise of the outside world, in fact, the feelings between the eight people are far and near, and there are even those who have never corresponded, if it were not for Jiang Lan to come forward, it would be difficult for the eight to be able to get together.

In addition to Zhong Quan, the other seven people were divided into four men and three women, among whom was a white-haired old man with a fairy wind, who was in good spirits, named 'Bai Guzi', the longest among the eight immortals. There is another black-haired old man, far inferior to Bai Guzi in appearance, with black hair and black clothes, a cold face, and Bai Guzi forms a sharp contrast between white and black, holding a finger-length black jade sword in his hand, called 'Black Bone Sword Fairy'.

The origin of the name of this sword fairy is because of the black jade sword in his hand, in fact, this black jade sword is caused by ossification, not jade bones, this sword has a great origin, and will not be detailed for the time being.

The other two young men look like each other, one of them is dressed in a noble appearance, dressed in brocade and jade belt, holding a white paper fan, and is called 'Jinzhan'. The other is tall, with a Chinese face, a beard, and an awe-inspiring momentum all over his body.

The other three women are more distinctive, divided into an old, a middle, a small, like three generations of grandchildren, in fact, only a four-year-old child-sized girl, the oldest, named 'Golden Flower Mother-in-law', named after the golden flower on the head, the appearance is delicate and lovely, the standard beauty embryo.

The middle-aged woman looks ordinary, dresses ordinarily, does not apply powder, is really like a peasant woman, holding a flower basket in her hand, called 'Bishui Fairy', named because she lives in Bishuitan.

The old woman drooped on the rotten wood, felt that one foot had stepped into the coffin, held a dragon's head cane, walked tremblingly, called 'Long Po', the origin of its name, from raising a dragon.

The eight people have their own characteristics, and their cultivation is also different, but they are indeed the powerhouses of the Da Luo Jin Immortal Realm, there is no doubt about this, among them, Zhong Quan, the Black Bone Sword Immortal and the Golden Flower Mother-in-law have the highest strength, reaching the upper realm of the Da Luo Jin Immortal, this kind of cultivation realm, that is, it is placed among the nine major forces of the human race, and it is also an outstanding existence.

Bai Guzi, Zhou Xing, and Bishui Fairy Gu are cultivated in the middle realm of Da Luo Jin Xian, and Long Po and Jin Zhan are in the first realm of Da Luo Jin Xian.

There are eight golden immortals in the Scattered Cultivation Realm, plus the Jiang family and his wife, the two quasi-saints, if they are united, there is no problem at all in becoming the tenth largest force of the human race, and even the overall strength can be among the best.

"I don't burn incense when I have nothing to do, and I will gather eight people today, but in fact, there is something to discuss."

Jiang Lan first invited the eight people to sit down, then served tea and spoke.

When the eight people heard this, they had a plan, and it was impossible to really call them to drink tea, right?

"There are no outsiders between us, and it doesn't hurt if Brother Jiang has something to say."

Zhong Quan said with a big grin, as if he was very curious about Jiang Lan's purpose.

Jiang Lan glanced at everyone, saw that everyone was waiting for him to speak, cleared his throat, and said: "Here's the thing, the recent internal contradictions of the human race, although everyone is scattered all over the place, they must have heard of it. The situation between the two sides is getting more and more intense, and the lives are devastated, Jiang someone sees it in his eyes, and he can't bear it, after all, they are all human forces, and internal friction will only reduce the overall strength, and the re-invasion of the heavenly demons is already predictable, after all, their traces were detected many years ago, but they have been hidden in recent years. ”

"Jiang hopes that our scattered cultivation world can unite and come forward to resolve this infighting of the human race and turn the conflict into a jade silk."

After Jiang Lan finished speaking, he looked at the Eight Immortals, and when the Eight Immortals heard the words, some nodded yes, some were silent, and some frowned.

Jiang Lan was not in a hurry, quietly waiting for their response.

Zhong Quan, as Jiang Lan's friend, must have strongly supported this decision, and said: "Brother Jiang's words are not bad, and this heart is also righteous, for the sake of the world." Now that the two sides have not yet started a full-scale war, it has been rumored that many masters have fallen, if this is really fought to the death, the human race will be ruined, and in the future, the heavenly demons will invade, how should the human race resist? ”

"Jiang's predecessor's words are indeed reasonable, according to the younger generation, now the exposition of the teachings and Mahayana Buddhism suffer a lot, especially the exposition of the teachings, it can be said that it hurts the muscles and bones, now let them stop talking and I am afraid that it is not easy, if the mediation can't be done, what should be done?"

Zhou Xing's words were to the point, in the current situation, it is not very likely that the scattered cultivation world will come forward to mediate.

When the others heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

"If you can't mediate, Jiang wants to stand on the position of the people's religion, put pressure on the Buddha, forcibly make them surrender, and end the infighting, what do you think?"

Jiang Lan said his true purpose.

Jiang Lan knew from the beginning that the so-called mediation was simply impossible, and strength was the capital to speak, so let the forces of the scattered cultivation world be inclined to the human sect, and the power of the human sect side would overwhelm the Mahayana Buddhist side, so that it would be enough to calm down this civil strife of the human race.

After all, there is no need for a defeated battle.

As for whether the Buddhist side will continue to ask for foreign aid to participate, this matter actually doesn't matter at all, the Buddhist side can win over foreign allies, but can't the human sect side? Even if he doesn't care about teaching, then he Jiang Lan has debuted for so many years, doesn't he have some friends and comrades-in-arms?

What's even more terrifying is that as the first force of the human race, in addition to its own strength, the invisible energy of the friends and forces it has made is very terrifying, and it has not been exposed in the slightest way!

This alone is that Mahayana Buddhism is already exhausted.

Thinking from the perspective of self-interest and helping others to teach is the simplest and easiest, and it is also the safest.

Jiang Lan said his true purpose, Zhong Quan and the others fell into a short contemplation, there is an unwritten rule in the Scattered Cultivation Realm not to participate in the struggle of any faction, it is this regulation that makes the Scattered Cultivation Realm transcendent, but today Jiang Lan wants to break this rule.

"Isn't that a bad rule?"

Zhong Quan asked cautiously.

"Yes! There are rules in our scattered cultivation world. ”

Bai Guzi echoed: "Back then, it was collectively discussed, for the harmonious development of the loose cultivation, not to participate in the struggle of any forces, only in this way can the scattered cultivation have a good environment, this time if you stand in line, then the reputation you have saved before will be gone." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Bai Guzi is right."

"I also think that this matter should be carefully considered and not reckless."

“………………………………”

Everyone, you and I said a word, although you did not explicitly refuse, but the meaning was obvious, and there was some resistance to Jiang Lan's proposal.

"Times are changing, we should also make changes, once the war within the human race is completely burned, the scattered cultivation world can stay out of the matter? Today's situation has spread so much that it is impossible to be alone. ”

Jiang Lan said: "Here Jiang will not force everyone, this time to convene everyone is just to discuss, now it seems that everyone has some scruples, then this matter is over, and then Jiang invites everyone to join the camp of the human sect from a private position, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

When it failed to win over the scattered cultivation world, Jiang Lan looked for helpers in his personal name to help teach others.

Everyone helps completely by feeling, so that the rules are not broken.

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Quan, as a friend, had no words, and said directly: "I Zhong Quan has no words, Brother Jiang greeted him, and went to the soup to fight the fire, and he didn't give up!" ”

"Zhou Xing's strength is shallow, but he is also willing to do his part for Senior Jiang!"

Jiang Lan has a life-saving grace for Zhou Xing, and Zhou Xing has always kept it in mind and supported all of Jiang Lan's decisions.

"Although the old woman is old, she can still move, and she is willing to go with Brother Jiang."

Mother-in-law Jinhua should admit it.

As a result, three people made it clear that they were willing to help Jiang Lan.

The remaining five people were quite embarrassed, Jiang Lan smiled and said: "I can get three people to help, Jiang is very thankful, but in addition to discussing this matter today, there is another important thing that everyone has not seen for many years, get together and contact feelings, and then we will only talk about Fengyue, not anything else." ”

Jiang Lan waved his hand, all kinds of wines, melons and fruits, and delicacies appeared on the table, Jiang Lan was the first to lift the glass, and everyone followed, and then pushed the cup to change the lamp, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

At the wine table, as Jiang Lan said, everyone only talks about Fengyue, not about the general trend of the world, so it is not lively.

This banquet lasted for half a day before it ended, when the last glass of wine was down, everyone was drunk, and then got up to say goodbye and leave, and agreed to drink together next time, Jiang Lan agreed, and personally sent the other five people away from Wanshou Mountain.

After the five of them left, Jiang Lan waved his hand, and Wanshou Mountain was enchanted.

"What? Are you worried that they won't be able to eavesdrop? ”

Seeing this, Zhong Quan smiled and teased, and the drunkenness on his face was swept away in an instant.

"Even if you give them ten dares, you won't dare to play tricks in front of me."

Jiang Lan said with a smile: "It's just that since the line has been drawn, it's better to distinguish between the two sides, in case of a business trip, wouldn't it be a pity to make trouble and end up swords facing each other?" ”

When Zhong Quan heard this, he shook his head and said, "If they leave today, I'm afraid it will be inevitable that they will face each other in the future." ”

Jiang Lan didn't speak, it seemed that he had expected it, but he didn't know the details, and asked: "It stands to reason that since I have spoken, you should support the Eight Immortals, today is really a bit unexpected, it seems that you still overestimate yourself." ”

Jiang Lan never wanted to unify the scattered cultivation world, but his prestige and strength, the scattered cultivation world has long been the first to look forward, and it is not an exaggeration to say that as long as he raises his arms and exhales, there should be eighty percent of the responders in the scattered cultivation world, but today's attitude of the eight immortals is unexpected, if only two or three people disagree, it will be fine, and as a result, five people are unwilling to follow the left and right, this is not simply because they are unwilling to mix with the troubled waters within the human race.

Among the five people, there must be someone who has chosen the camp, and the camp is not a human religion, that is, it is not a human religion, then it must have been co-opted by the Mahayana Buddhist side.

"It's not overestimated, at most someone is the first to get there, and the price given is enough to make them excited."

Jong Kwon Do.

"If you have news, why didn't you tell me in advance? Instead embarrassing me, deliberately? ”

Jiang Lan scolded with a smile.

Zhong Quan waved his hand and said, "I just have some gossip, I don't know if it's accurate, wouldn't it be bad if I made a mistake?" But now their attitude shows that my message is true. ”

"The Black Jade Sword Immortal, Jinzhan and Long Po have contact with Mahayana Buddhism, Western Tang Dynasty and Exposition respectively, and they must have been persuaded to help them, as for Bai Guzi and Bishui Fairy, they are really deaf to things outside the window."

"Alas! I originally wanted to give you a transformation, but I never thought that everyone has their own ambitions, and even so, it can't be difficult for others, but I can't say that I can't get together next time, and the people won't be as good as they are today. ”

Jiang Lan sighed, and then said: "You have a lot of friends, since you promised to help others with me, don't hide it, call people quickly, you can't just let the four of us go over." ”

"You are the first person in the cultivation world to not say hello, but let us do this hard work, it's really slippery."

Zhong Quan, Zhou Xing and Jinhua's mother-in-law followed Jiang Lan to help others teach, and among the three, only Zhong Quan was qualified to joke with friends, joke and scold.

"This is a big misunderstanding, this time I called you to Wanshou Mountain, one of the important purposes is that this mountain is sealed with a magic weapon of Jiang someone, this human race infighting may be of great use, and it should be unsealed and born."

Jiang Lan spoke, and walked towards the cave.
