Chapter 9: The Black Lake
"Good handling!"
Behind the main hall of Lingyun Sect, in a small courtyard with a beautiful environment.
Jiang Ming sat in the gazebo, sipping hot tea, and was full of admiration for the oncoming Meng Qinghan.
He didn't expect that Meng Qinghan was not only beautiful alone, but also had a good mind, at least compared to his peers, he was not an embroidered pillow, and he could already be on his own at a young age.
In the face of Jiang Ming's praise, Meng Qinghan also blushed, and then said:
"The ancestor praised it!"
Jiang Ming was also helpless about this old ancestor, because he knew that Meng Qinghan, as the daughter of the sect master of the Lingyun Sect, might have had the idea of worshiping his ancestor since he was very young. And the people of this world, whether they are monks or ordinary people, always have a sense of respect and love for their ancestors, and this innate emotion cannot be changed and cannot be changed.
All Jiang Ming can do is accept.
And to a certain extent, Jiang Ming is also very lucky, fortunately with this kind of thought, so that he can have a chance to live a life for the time being. However, the current Lingyun Sect seems to be indeed in danger of collapse, and it has weathered the storm.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming followed closely:
"In the Great Hall, what is the Black Lake that the Son of the Sect Master of the Burning Sun Sect is talking about?"
Jiang Ming also felt quite strange about this black lake, why when Meng Qinghan read out that there was a black lake in the gift list, everyone's reaction would be so angry, which made Jiang Ming puzzled, what is the so-called black lake!
"The ancestor doesn't know ......"
Hearing Jiang Ming's inquiry, Fluttershy, who had been following her young lady, spoke:
"Our Lingyun Sect, in terms of location, borders the Aoki Sect, and the Aoki Sect borders the Burning Sun Sect, so the three sects are almost in a triangular trend. It's just that the territory of the Burning Sun Sect does not border our Lingyun Sect. The reason why this is so is because there is a black lake between the Burning Sun Sect and the Lingyun Sect. The black lake is huge, covering dozens of miles, the terrain is collapsed, and there is no grass. In the lake, there is a black liquid churning all the year round, exuding a pungent smell, and when it comes to a thunderstorm, it can trigger the thunder in the sky, forming a raging fire, and the fire will not be extinguished for several months. If there is no heavy rain, it can even burn all the time. Even a strong cultivator like the sect master was helpless against the Black Lake. ”
"Originally, the Black Lake did not belong to any party's sphere of influence, but the Burning Sun Sect felt that the Black Lake was huge, so it was forcibly included in its own sphere of influence. But after so many years, they didn't care about the Black Lake, even if a sky-high fire was ignited, they never thought of extinguishing it...... And after so many years, every time there is a thunderstorm, the Black Lake will inevitably ignite a sky-high fire. But after burning so many times, the water of the Black Lake has increased instead of decreasing, and I don't know why! ”
Hearing Fluttershy babble, Jiang Ming's brow furrowed.
Why does this black lake sound so like......
"So, this black lake is a piece of chicken ribs for the three sects, it is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it?"
Jiang Ming asked.
"It's not a pity to abandon it, it's useless anyway!"
Fluttershy, on the other hand, answers honestly.
After answering the biggest doubt in his heart, Jiang Ming's face became serious.
Because the next thing to talk about is the point.
"Qinghan, I remember that you just said that at the beginning, the Lieyang Sect set up a Hongmen banquet, and it is convenient for you to talk to me about the specific details, such as ...... When your father went to the feast, did he not leave a trail behind? And how did your father escape in the first place? You talk to me, preferably the more detailed, the better! ”
"I didn't participate in the affairs of the Burning Sun Sect at the beginning......
Hearing Jiang Ming say this, Meng Qinghan also said everything he knew word for word.
"At that time, the Burning Sun Sect was my father who posted the notice, because the Aoki Sect Sect Sect Sect also received the invitation at that time, considering that the three sect masters were all there, so my father went. However, before going again, my father also sent the Great Elder and his disciples to meet the Burning Sun Sect ten miles away, using fireworks as a message. If something really happened, my father would send out fireworks and order someone to rescue him. But on the day of the accident, my father ...... However, there were no fireworks, so the rescue was delayed. Fortunately, although the Sect Master of the Burning Sun Sect at that time broke out, the Aoki Sect Master was strong, coupled with his father, the two of them desperately broke through, and although they lost some of their guards, they also managed to escape......"
"Loss of Escort ......"
Hearing this, Jiang Ming frowned.
"At that time, how many people entered the Burning Sun Sect?"
"Plus my father, a total of three!"
"What about the pyrotechnic signals, who is holding them?"
"Father's guard. However, before the fireworks signal could be issued, the guards were killed by the elders of the Burning Sun Sect who took the lead in attacking, leaving only the Aoki Sect Sect Master and his father...... will be folded inside! ”
Hearing what Meng Qinghan said, Jiang Ming frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and then said:
"Go on, what about after you get out of the encirclement?"
"After breaking out of the encirclement, my father and the Great Elder converged, in our Lingyun Sect, there were four elders, and these four elders were all there at that time, and they escorted my father back to the Lingyun Sect. Afterwards...... The Lingyun Sect began to shrink its defensive line and be wary of the Burning Sun Sect, until today, when Wu Lie arrived......"
"What about Aoki Sect? Aoki Sect, you didn't send anyone to understand? ”
"Nope!"
Meng Qinghan shook his head.
"When my father returned, he was seriously injured and dying, and had no time but to retreat and heal. As for the Aoki Sect, the Great Elder does not seem to have sent anyone to contact him, but as far as I know, the Aoki Sect Master's injury seems to be very serious, and it is not much better than his father, perhaps...... They're also on the lookout for the Aoki sect! ”
"So...... It's dangerous! ”
Hearing Meng Qinghan say this, Jiang Ming sighed.
"Lingyun Sect, Aoki Sect, and Lieyang Sect, even if one of these three sects is dominant, but because of each other's geographical location, they should also be afraid of each other. But now, the strongest Burning Sun Sect took the initiative to attack and hit the Lingyun Sect and the Aoki Sect hard, but the Aoki Sect chose to shrink back to resist, perhaps to fight for the time for their own sect master to recover, but if I am the Sect Master of the Burning Sun Sect, both the Aoki Sect and the Lingyun Sect choose to shrink, I will take this opportunity to cut off the connection between the two sects, take the lead in attacking one of them, and strive to destroy the other sect with the power of thunder when the other sect comes to its senses. In this way, even if the sect master of the other sect regains its strength, the name of the three sects has already become two sects. The remaining one is just fish on the board! ”
"And the one that was the first to gnaw off was naturally the weakest one, and it was ...... Let's Lingyun Sect! ”
