The next day, Linwu County.

An inconspicuous house in Xing'anfang, Xicheng.

A large number of soldiers surrounded the area, and the surrounding residents were driven out, and the place was fenced off.

"General, at the beginning, the patriarch of the Seven Star Gate accepted three disciples, and then these three disciples accepted apprentices separately, passing on their own lineage, and they became the three lineages in the Seven Star Gate.

These three lineages all have the highest mental inheritance in the door, as well as the annual quota of water purification Xuandan. ”

Feng Zhijie, the old man who knelt down and begged last night, stood in front of the house at this time, and said to Lu Yuan in front of him with a flattering face: "After hundreds of years of inheritance, each of the three veins has set up a treasure hiding place.

Therefore, there are three hidden treasures in this gate.

In each of these three places, the exercises inherited from the sect, a large amount of money, and some divine blood elixirs were placed for the revival after the collapse of the sect.

I am the elder of the three ancestors and one lineage in the door, and the treasure of my lineage is located here.

In the backyard of this courtyard, there is a dry well, and at the bottom of the dry well, a secret room was dug, and the treasure was stored in it. ”

After listening to his words, Lu Yuan nodded slightly, and then glanced at one of his disciples next to him.

The latter immediately understood, ordered two soldiers, and walked to the backyard.

And the rest of the people waited at the gate of this court.

After a while, the disciple who had left earlier walked over quickly.

"Master, there is indeed a dry well in the backyard, and the disciple went down to the dry well and found a secret room there, in which two boxes of gold and silver were hidden, and there were about 30,000 taels of silver.

In addition to this, this secret book of exercises was also discovered, as well as this and the elixir. The disciple held a book and a box of elixirs and offered them with both hands.

Lu Yuan took it and flipped through the book, it was indeed the exercises and moves of the Seven Star Fist, but the level was low, and he could only practice the third Qi Sutra.

Therefore, after rolling his eyes twice, he did not continue to look at it, and casually put it in his arms.

Then he opened the box of pills, which was covered with a layer of soft brocade silk, and on top of them were three jade bottles. Through the pure white bottle, you can see the shape of the cyan pill inside.

Feng Zhijie next to him actively introduced: "General, there are three bottles of pills in this jade box, and there are three pills of Pure Water Xuandan in each bottle of pills. Each of these pills can help a martial artist practice a meridian. ”

When Lu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help asking, "Why are there only nine grains?" ”

Nine pills of Water Purification Xuandan, according to the effect of one grain and one meridian, all of them are taken, and at most let the martial artist open up the nine meridians.

What are the nine meridians enough for?

Put in the rivers and lakes, the martial artist who has practiced the nine meridians is at most equivalent to the second-rate medium level.

Although this kind of strength can be said to be okay, it is really far from the first-class realm.

Feng Zhijie smiled bitterly: "Back to General." My Seven Star Gate is in Dongting County, although it is also considered a top faction. But it has only been inherited for more than 700 years, and in terms of heritage accumulation, it is far inferior to other millennium factions on the rivers and lakes.

Moreover, there is only one Pure Water Xuan Niu in my sect, and the amount of spiritual blood that can be produced every year is limited. This limited share must be shared by our three veins.

The fact that there are these Xuandan here is already the result of the savings and accumulation of the original vein. ”

Hearing this explanation, Lu Yuan was slightly disappointed.

Also, it was he who had too high expectations for the treasures of the Seven Star Gate.

In the end, it is a sect in a poor place, and it is not as good as those top sects that are famous all over the world, and the accumulation of hundreds of years is already very good.

"Okay, if you can get the treasure this time, you will be credited." Lu Yuan put away the pill, and then looked at Feng Zhijie, with a gentle smile on his face.

No matter how much or how little the Seven Star Gate has in the background, this time you can get nine water purification pills, as well as a first-class exercise, it is a big gain.

At the very least, with these nine water purification pills, he no longer has a bottleneck to refine the remaining three meridians of the Chiyang Divine Skill.

The strength of the top-notch is within reach.

"That'...... General ......"

Seeing that Lu Yuan was in a good mood, this Feng Zhijie also breathed a sigh of relief, and hesitated at this time: "My family ......"

"Don't worry, I will order you to release all the old and young in your family, and all your property that was originally seized will be returned at this time." Lu Yuan waved his hand and did not continue to embarrass the other party.

In terms of integrity, he still has a bottom line.

As long as the other party can fulfill their requirements, then they will naturally be fulfilled.

"General Xie, General Xie." Hearing that his family had escaped the catastrophe, Feng Zhijie's tears of excitement were about to fall, and he knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

"Okay, don't thank you yet."

Lu Yuan glanced at this Feng Zhijie, stopped the other party's bitter crying, and then asked, "You said that there is only one still water Xuanniu in your door, so where is this Xuanniu now?" ”

Water Purification Xuandan or something, in fact, it's just a little fur, and it's gone after eating.

If the Seven Star Gate wants to talk about the real treasure, it has to be the water purification Xuanniu who continuously produces the water purification pill.

That Feng Zhijie stopped crying, and when he heard this question, his face showed a trace of embarrassment: "General Hui, I don't know about the whereabouts of the Pure Water Xuanniu. This cow has been kept in the forbidden land of the sect, and it has always been guarded and taken care of by the head of the family, and only when the spiritual blood is taken out, will I wait to get close to the supervision.

But since the owner of the door rebelled, this Xuanniu disappeared in the door, and when he asked the master, he only said that he had found a safe place to hide, and refused to tell the details of his whereabouts.

So for us and others, we don't know the whereabouts of Xuanniu. ”

Speaking of this, this Feng Zhijie saw that Lu Yuan's face was a little ugly, and hurriedly added: "However, the Pure Water Xuanniu can only survive in Yuanluo Mountain." When the ox leaves Yuanluo Mountain, it will be unaccustomed to the water and soil, and will die of illness.

Therefore, even if the head of the sect wants to hide, he can only make up his mind in the Yuanluo Mountain area, and he can't get this cow too far away.

The general only needs to send people to search for Yuanluo Mountain, and he will definitely find this cow. ”

"Can only survive in Yuanluo Mountain?"

When Lu Yuan heard Feng Zhijie's words, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and then asked, "What's the reason for this?" ”

This Feng Zhijie hesitated and said: "Regarding the fact that the Pure Water Xuanniu cannot leave Yuanluo Mountain, the specific situation, the door has actually been studied, and finally got a clear answer from the Dao Gate.

It is rumored that the Pure Water Xuanniu is a god-blood xenomorph and a strange beast of heaven and earth.

Most of these xenomorphs have a long life and have all kinds of mysterious abilities, which are comparable to powerful warriors.

And in order to maintain this bloodline mystery, the god-blood xenomorphs need to swallow the essence of the sun and the moon from heaven and earth, and absorb the qi of the immortals of heaven and earth into their bodies to maintain their own consumption.

But for example, today's immortal qi fades, and the essence of the sun and moon becomes increasingly scarce, and it becomes more and more difficult to swallow.

Therefore, mortal beings, if they want to swallow the essence of the sun and the moon, they must be in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land where the immortal qi is still relatively active, and can only achieve it with the help of such special places.

Yuanluo Mountain is among the Daomen, and it is also ranked one of the seventy-two heavenly blessed lands, although it is ranked lower, but it can also help Xuanniu swallow the essence of the sun and the moon.

Therefore, in the Yuanluo Mountain, the Xuanniu can survive, and can continuously produce spiritual blood by swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon.

But once he leaves Yuanluo Mountain and has no supply of sun and moon essence, the Xuanniu will gradually lose his spirituality, and then his bloodline will degenerate and die of old age.

The above are the answers that the third-generation sect master got after going to the Ziyun Dao of Tianluo Mountain in person and asking the contemporary Taoist master for advice. ”

"Purple Cloud Dao?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan was stunned, he didn't expect that the Seven Star Gate would even have a relationship with Ziyun Dao.

But think about it, the Seven Star Gate is also a first-class faction in the rivers and lakes, and the Purple Cloud Dao is the leader of the Yue National Dao Gate, and it is not surprising that there is an intersection between the two.

It's just that the theory that the immortal qi of heaven and earth is fading is not a saying that only existed in recent years, but that some people have realized it hundreds of years ago? ’

Lu Yuan remembered the apocalyptic calamity that Qi Yun Dao had told him a few days ago.

There were waves in his heart, and Feng Zhijie next to him continued: "According to what the Purple Cloud Dao Lord said at that time, for example, if the immortal spirit qi of the world is getting less and less, there are fewer and fewer monks who can make offerings.

Yuanluo Mountain ranks low in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and in this spiritual energy decline, it should be the first batch of Cave Heaven Blessed Land to be depleted.

In the future, the water purification cattle that can be supported should be less and less, until they can no longer support the consumption of the Xuan cow, and this xenomorph will be completely cut off.

And it came true.

A hundred years ago, there were only two Xuan Niu in the door, and one suddenly fell ill and died, leaving only the ready-made one.

And in the past few years, the remaining Xuan Niu has less and less spiritual blood that can be produced.

In the past, the spiritual blood produced by Xuanniu every year was able to refine five spirit pills. But in the past few years, the production of blood clotting has decreased greatly, and only one or two pills of Xuandan can be practiced every year.

And Xuan Niu is also old, and he can only live for another thirty or forty years at most.

According to this situation, if it continues, I am afraid that when Xuanniu dies, my Seven Star Gate will also decline. ”

Speaking of this, Feng Zhijie carried a trace of helplessness and sadness: "The reason why my Seven Star Sect rebelled this time is actually that the head of the sect is unwilling to decline after decades, so he wants to take advantage of this rare troubled era to raise troops to rob the divine blood xenomorphs of other sects, so as to maintain the inheritance of the sect."

But now it seems that this is a false thing after all.

The head wanted to lead the revival of the sect and maintain the inheritance of the sect, but in the end, he led the sect to the point of no return.

Seven Star Gate's seven-hundred-year-old Taoist system, the inheritance is cut off today! ”

Although this old man was afraid of death, he grew up in the sect after all, and when he thought of the ending of the Seven Star Gate, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Lu Yuan glanced at him, ignored the other party's feelings, turned his head and led the soldiers away.

Now that he has got what he wants and knows the news he wants, this old man is not of much value.

The other party betrayed the Seven Star Gate this time, and has broken with the original same door, and it is impossible for the two sides to merge.

Even if this guy wants not to be retaliated against by the Seven Star Gate and save his life, he has to take the initiative to cooperate with the government and the court to help suppress the rebels of the Seven Star Gate.

This Feng Zhijie has already boarded the ship of the imperial court, and he can't go down any further.

……

The troops were collected and returned to the barracks outside the city, and at this time, the last remnants of the traitors in the city were also cleaned up.

The men over the age of 12 in the entire city are basically arrested and cleared, and the effective ones are some old and weak women and children, and they basically can't turn over the storm.

Seeing this situation, Lu Yuan singled out a captain named Song Miao among his disciples and asked him to take two battalions of 1,000 soldiers and horses to temporarily garrison the county seat.

At the same time, another disciple was arranged to escort the families of the rebels in Luyang City with 2,000 soldiers, as well as those who had taken prisoners in the camp first, and rushed back to Luyang City.

And he took the last two thousand troops to Yuanluo Mountain, preparing to search for the whereabouts of the Pure Water Xuanniu.

Yuanluo Mountain is not a small mountain, this is a large mountain range that stretches for dozens of miles. In the entire Linwu County, nearly half of the area is covered by this mountain.

In such a large area, in the vast mountains and seas, even if there are 2,000 soldiers and horses, it is not a simple effort to find a Xuan Niu.

Not to mention, the Seven Star Gate also deliberately hid this cow, so it would be even more difficult to find it.

Lu Yuan is ready to fight a protracted battle here.

Fortunately, all aspects of affairs are now carried out in an orderly manner.

The county seat of Linwu has been lowered, and the family scrolls of those traitors in Luyang City have also been sent over. This time, even if it can't be won in a smooth wave like Linwu County, it can greatly shake the morale of the defenders in the city.

Maybe they can get the defenders to flee across the city and surrender outside the city.

This is all very likely.

As for the Miao people in the direction of Yangshan Mansion and Jiuyi Mansion, Lu Yuan also arranged for sentry spies to keep an eye on them, but according to the current news report, the Miao people in these two places have no signs of moving towards Luyang Mansion.

In a short period of time, it shouldn't be called.

I don't know if the Seven Star Gate didn't send someone to ask for help from the Miao people, or the people sent to ask for help didn't convince the other party, but no matter which one it is, it's a good thing for Lu Yuan.

Of course, the quieter the Miao people are, the more it may show that the other party is brewing some big conspiracy?

It's just that it's still being prepared at this time, and it didn't break out immediately.

However, Lu Yuan didn't have much to do about this except to strengthen his vigilance.

It can't be that the Miao people don't come to fight him, so he turns around and leads the troops to fight the Miao people.

That's 100,000 soldiers.

As for the 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses under Lu Yuan, if they really fight in the past, who will fight who is not certain?

So even if he knew that the Miao people had a conspiracy, he could only passively accept the move, wait for the other party to make a move, and then slowly deal with it.

It's very aggrieved and helpless, but this is the reality.

Fortunately, now Lu Yuan can't just wait.

At this time, he led people to find the Pure Water Xuanniu.

Although he found this cow, he couldn't conjure up tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but he couldn't conjure up a few dozen Xuandan, which was no problem.

Lu Yuan didn't need much, if he could get seven Xuan Dan, he would be able to help his disciple Zhou Qing break through to the top level.

If you can get a few more grains, among your disciples, you can cultivate a few second-rate masters, and it will not be a problem.

If you can have one more first-class and a few second-rate, and then break through to the first-class top, then the benefits brought by these top-level combat power can also erase the gap of thousands of soldiers and horses.

In this world of great controversy, the Seven Star Sect is seeking to survive, the Five Poisons Sect is brewing a conspiracy, and the imperial court is struggling to support it.

Even he, Lu Yuan, is trying to improve his strength.
