Chapter 74: Confrontation (1)
The Demon Gate is just a general term and the so-called famous and decent people, but unlike the righteous way, after years of development, the Demon Dao has formed a relatively stable Demon Dao system with the two major demon gates as the head.
Different from the way of the righteous way to eliminate dissidents, the Demon Dao advocates an open mind in which a hundred schools of thought contend, and even since ancient times, there have been powerful people in the Demon Dao who have put forward the ideology of "Demon Gong is the foundation, immortal art is the form, the immortal and demon practitioners are the initiates, and the world is responsible".
In the righteous path, if you practice any magic in a non-traditional sense, you will definitely be labeled as an evil demon, and everyone will be punished, let alone practicing demonic skills.
This can be seen from the fact that when Buddhism first came from the Western Regions, it was strangled by Kyushu monks.
Later Buddhism borrowed some fundamental principles of Kyushu Xiandao Xuangong, and thus made compromises and changes, which brought about the peace and tranquility of Jingcitian today.
If not, maybe the Buddha Dao would have to be neighbors with the Demon Dao a long time ago.
It is rumored that the foundation of the Buddha is shallow, and even the supernatural exercises are borrowed from the Kyushu Daomen, which is still an immortal Tao in essence, and has not cultivated its own Dao source since ancient times.
Some people have even speculated that the establishment of the Buddhist path is too short, and perhaps even the upper realm like the immortal realm has not been formed, so how can there be any talk of immortality and ascension? Therefore, this Buddhist believer can only cultivate the fate of the next life, but cannot cultivate the Dharma of the present world.
Let's talk about the devil's way.
The formation of this fashion of respecting the virtuous and admonishing has created the gradual birth of the two demon giants.
It's like under two tolerant masters, apprentices can ask all kinds of questions at will, try all kinds of new things, and sometimes, your master will agree to you learn something from another school.
In such an environment, after many generations of development, the Demon Life Sect and the Absolute Immortal Sect finally firmly controlled the power of the entire Demon Dao, thus fighting against the Seven Prefectures with two states, and resisting the Righteous Dao Division led by the Four Sects in Three Days for countless thousands of years.
This also prompted the side door left path established by the righteous path sect, and resolutely took refuge in the devil's path in desperation, of course, the two ways of righteousness and demons in ancient times were still endless, and it was impossible to appear in a pattern of water and fire compatibility.
It's just that no one in this human realm has been ascending for thousands of years, and the demon clan has broken out a war with human monks, and the Dao system of the lower realm can no longer get in touch with the fairy world, the demon world, the demon world and other worlds.
After all, everyone is desperate, and they can only let go of the door and find another way.
Of course, it is impossible for more so-called Xuanmen Authentic Sect to let go of the view of the portal, and thus the Demon Dao began its road to prosperity.
Until now, there are very few people who can cultivate orthodox immortal qi and demonic qi, or only a trace of what can be cultivated, and more is just ordinary mottled and chaotic spiritual power.
In this way, over the course of tens of thousands of years, the demonic path has become more and more prosperous, and those rigid righteous people have only accepted one Dharma and then become lonely.
However, all of these can only appear when the high-level leaders of the two realms of righteousness and demons turn a blind eye, otherwise, who in the entire Kyushu would dare to openly mix immortals and demons?
This kind of integration is actually helpless, the opening of the demon road makes it prosperous but there are few masters, and the conservative path of the right way makes it lonely but still has a lot of combat power, and only future generations can comment on which is right and which is wrong compared to the two.
Of course, it is also relative to say that there are few masters of the Demon Dao, and how can there be a lack of masters who can resist the behemoth of the entire righteous path with two powers?
Therefore, it cannot be said that the people in the righteous path are conformist and hold the ancestral tablets as treasures that are wrong, or that the idea of the demon path trying other ways out is ridiculous.
It can only be said that this is the helplessness brought to all sentient beings by the depressing atmosphere of the world and the inability to ascend to despair.
These are all digressions, back to Qingyun them.
At this time, Lao Wan was actually already excited, and he didn't think that he would take refuge in the Absolute Immortal Gate! Who wouldn't want to hold such a thigh?
However, if the thighs are too thick, they are not something you can hold.
Although his cultivation is not high, he is extremely cautious, otherwise he would not have been able to keep a sect in Qingshui Town to live until now with his cultivation of the seventh layer of Kankan Yuanhua.
Although he was barely breathing, he didn't care, what he cared about was a behemoth like the Absolute Immortal Gate, how could he take a fancy to himself?
Xiao Luoyi has indeed wandered around Yaoguang City for several years, and it is not only her own family that she has recruited, but Wan Guliu has quietly inquired about it, and she has only been to some third-rate sects that are much bigger than herself.
What's more, those who don't want to see her or who don't speak their words will disappear from the ground overnight.
Completely gone, the mountain gate will not be left.
You know, this is not far from Yaoguang City, one of the seven main cities of the Immortal Sword Sect!
As the old saying goes, it depends on the owner to fight a dog, although not necessarily all of them are subservient to the Immortal Sword Sect, but no matter how bold the Absolute Immortal Sect is, and then there is an enmity with the Immortal Sword Sect, it can't easily destroy the sect in the land of people's families under the noses of others, right?
Besides, although Xiao Luoyi is from the Condensing Flower Building, this Condensing Flower Building is at best a third-rate affiliated sect under the Absolute Immortal Sect, managing some of its Fengyue places, which is still nice to say.
Even if as Xiao Luoyi himself said, she is directly under the master of the Absolute Immortal Sect, and her status is not comparable to that of ordinary disciples of Ning Hua Lou, but he doesn't believe that he killed Lao Wan, the current master of the Absolute Immortal Sect will be so bored, and he sent his subordinates to come to Qingshui Town thousands of miles away, just to borrow a sword for himself.
"A thousand dollars buy horse bones. ”
This is the first sentence that Lao Wan thought of after Xiao Luoyi came, he was willing to be a maxima, but he was not willing to be a maxima.
A supergiant like the Absolute Immortal Sect, to put it mildly, even the Qingxu Heaven, which was the first of the three days, was inferior to it to some extent, let alone other sects.
If it were to be recruited by some ordinary first-class or second-rate sects in the Demon Dao, Lao Wan might really go.
But the solicitation of this Absolute Immortal Sect, as well as Xiao Luoyi's politeness and abnormality, immediately made the vigilant Lao Wan smell a trace of conspiracy, so he categorically decided that he could not agree, even if the benefits were rich!
I have to say that Lao Wan is still very bold in giving up this decision.
It was a painful decision to make, but for the sake of Wan Congfang's safety, he had to make it. Now the estrangement and entanglement between the two realms of the cultivation realm, the right and the devil, is not terrible, what is terrible is the cruel predation and conspiracy in this cultivation realm.
Every day, there are countless famous sects to take refuge in the Demon Dao, and there are also countless Demon Dao sects to "change the evil and return to the right", which is no different from the politics of the secular court, but these are carried out with the tacit consent of both sides, if there is a stupidity beyond the acquiescence, it is likely to disappear extraordinarily dazzling.
As for what kind of dazzling method it is, the eternal stream that has lived for hundreds of years naturally knows it.
However, although Lao Wan refused the invitation of others, he was not completely unprepared, these days he desperately collected elixir spiritual materials and nine-section calamus, in order to send Wan Congfang to the fairy sword faction as soon as possible, his daughter can break through the best, and if she can't break through, she can use it as a stepping stone.
As long as Wan Congfang enters the gate of the Immortal Sword Sect, he will be able to become a lonely person with honor, and when the time comes, he should run away, he should escape, even if the Absolute Immortal Sect sends someone to hunt him down, if his daughter is safe and sound, he can also smile at Jiuquan.
"As for this bamboo and stone sword, I'm afraid that the Absolute Immortal Gate will never get it. ”
Lao Wan shook the firewood knife on his waist hard, and couldn't help sneering in his heart.
Now Xiao Luo mentioned his debts again, which made Lao Wan's face instantly darken.
But he owes so many debts in a short period of time, isn't it just to prevent the revenge of the Absolute Immortal Gate! How can this not make Lao Wan's heart angry, Xiao Luoyi continued to say to himself:
"Master Wan, you can protect the sect so far with your own strength, just this move, let the little woman admire you from the bottom of her heart, but admiration is admiration, this money, you still have to pay it back. ”
Hearing Xiao Luoyi's words, Wan Guliu had a faint premonition in his heart, and then the black-clothed witch gently pulled her long hair, and said with a smile:
"As far as I know, you owe five hundred spirit stones to the people of Wuhua Mountain Wild Wood Dao, two hundred spirit stones to the Pear Immortal Mother-in-law in Hidden Mist Valley, and one hundred and fifty spirit stones to the head of the Li family in the next town..."
In the stunned eyes of Qingyun and Wan Congfang, Xiao Luo reported more than a dozen names one by one, some of them were scattered cultivators in the surrounding mountains and rivers, and some were cultivators in the town, without exception, every family was Lao Wan's creditor.
Every time Xiao Luo mentioned a name, Wan Guliu's face darkened, yes, his face was not red, it was black.
"Enough!"
He finally couldn't bear it anymore and categorically reprimanded Xiao Luoyi's words.
"Miss Xiao, are you humiliating me?"
With Lao Wan's angry shout, the atmosphere around him seemed to become solemn, and there was a faint murderous intent in his eyes, and that feeling of calm made the daughter behind him shiver.
It's just that Xiao Luoyi, who was tall and cold as frost on the side, looked like she didn't care, and even the coldness exuded from her body was three points better than that of the Eternal Stream, only to see that she put away her smile and said lightly:
"Since Master Wan has spoken, I won't go down to talk about this specific creditor, well, let's talk about it! According to the limit of what I can investigate, as of yesterday, you have owed a total of twenty-five families, and the total value is about four thousand eight hundred spirit stones of all kinds of arrears, which is roughly equal to the total income of a third-rate sect for two years. ”
Xiao Luo paused, ignoring the murderous intent that burst out of Lao Wan's eyes like he wanted to breathe fire, and continued:
"And your sect, oh no, it should be said that it is a medical hall. According to my observations in the past two years, if you two don't eat or drink, your annual income should be around five hundred spirit stones. In other words, it will take you at least ten years or so to pay off all the arrears.
