Behind the Yiqing Palace, there is a stone staircase downhill more than 100 zhang, leading to a short mountain beam stretching out to the sea of clouds. The mountain beam was very narrow, and there was only a stone path on the top. At the end of the stone path, there is a lone peak that protrudes from the sea of clouds. There is a stone platform on the top of the lonely peak, which is called the sleepy dragon platform, and there is only a nameless two-storey stone pavilion on the platform, and there is no room for it.

In the past few days, Cheng Mo will go to the attic on the Dragon Platform at regular intervals every day, and stay for two hours.

Every day when he came down from the sleepy dragon platform, Sect Master Cheng had a gloomy face, and he didn't have a good face when he saw anyone, and it seemed that people all over the world owed him Cheng Sect Master 1.8 million taels of silver.

Later, in the Yiqing Palace, the descendants of the sect or the elders and deacons of each hall came to visit one after another. There is an endless stream of visitors, and I have to mention that there are Elder Tang Taizhong who is in charge of the Law Hall, Elder Zhang Taixuan of the Inner Hall who has not recovered from his injuries, and Yu Taixing, who is known for his double cultivation technique to the essence and purity of the world, and Xiao Tairou, two teachers and nephews.

That Tang Taizhong and Zhang Taixuan are the two disciples of Cheng Mojin's senior brother Zhang Moqing. Zhang Moqing was born in poverty, so in the selection of disciples, he was extremely born and was not accepted by non-poor disciples. Therefore, before Tang Taizhong and Zhang Taixuan got started, the laymen from whom they came from were not very good. It's just that hundreds of years have passed now, and the blood relatives who have attained the Tao and ascended to heaven with chickens and dogs have been passed down for countless generations in the red dust. What happens to today's children and grandchildren will not be something that outsiders like them are worried about.

And Li Mobai was originally from a wealthy family, so his two descendants Yu Taihe and Xiao Tairou, the former was the son of the hereditary city lord of Lingshan City at that time, commonly known as Yu Wuhuan, after worshipping under the gate of Xiqiao Mountain, he typeset according to his generation, and was given the name Yu Taixing by the master.

Before entering the mountain to practice, Yu Wuhuan was a typical stubborn child, arrogant and domineering, with goshawks and evil slaves, rampant in the countryside, bullying men and women. It is said that Yu Wuhuan began at the age of 14, that is, the first taste of the joy of men and women, and since then it has been out of control, and in the ruling circle of Lingshan City, he is known for not having ten women at night. It's just that this person is born with a good skin, plus he has a wide shot, and he is suave by nature, although he has harmed countless women, everywhere he goes, there are still countless young girls who fall for him, and continue to throw them into his arms.

And Xiao Tairou is a martial arts academy from Ganlanzhou, Liaoyuan, the daughter of a martial arts master, and a female martial artist herself, commonly known as Xiao Rou. After being included in the door wall by Li Mobai, Xiao Tairou and the merry Yu Taixing fell in love at first sight, and after entering the mountain for less than a month, the two became Taoist couples, and they did double cultivation.

This pair of Taoist couples has countless disciples under their respective sects so far, and although they are nominally divided into two branches, the other disciples are well aware of it. More than half of the disciples of the two branches have become Taoist couples, how can they branch?

The four masters and nephews took turns to come to the door, and Yu Qing was nothing more than a gift for the juniors, hoping that some trivial things could share the worries of the sect master; Yu Li was to report on the recent affairs of the sect, especially the appearance of Hu Jiu, a thief who was not tied to the boat, in the jurisdiction of Xiqiao Mountain, wandering around, and all kinds of rumors spreading, making people panic. Although in the local area, for the time being, there are no incidents where bandits are rampant and cause trouble in the township, but according to common sense, since there are bandits who have appeared, in the case that the secular martial arts academy is unable to arrest them, the mountain sect should send a guardian army to help.

If the other party is really a bandit with extremely high cultivation, and the dragon sees the head and the tail, and the cathar army has nothing to do, the local sect should even send its own monks to arrest the bandits within the jurisdiction of the sect and avoid causing trouble to other places.

It is said that Nahu Jiu has been rampant in the secluded plains for a long time. Last year, there were countless tribute and silver robberies in Tongchuan City, and there were traces of him. Even the Tongshan Sect could not successfully arrest the people, and when they arrived in Xiqiao Mountain, Cheng Mojin, as the sect master, should naturally make a move.

What's more, the matter of the fly-winged silkworm is also the mantis catching cicadas, and the Hu Jiu yellow finch is behind, and it suddenly steals

attacked, injured the inner hall elder of the dignified Xuanzhen Temple.

As for Zhang Taixuan, Na Yu and Xiao and the Taoist couple, they were more concerned about the attitude of the sect master towards the opening of a transcontinental trade road between Luoma City and Guangxin Prefecture in the west.

Although Guangxin Prefecture is located in the western part of the secluded plain, the land is barren, the aura is poor, and even close to the western part of the Northern Wilderness City, there are often madman tribes to invade. Therefore, the entire Guangxin Prefecture has a wide area, but it is sparsely populated, the city is scarce, and there are not many Taoist sects. But in such a harsh environment, there are all kinds of spirit birds and beasts that are multiplying endlessly, and among them, there are not a few who have become demons and refined demon pills.

For a Taoist sect, having a high-grade beast guarding the mountain gate can not only play a role in suppressing demons and warding off evil spirits. Every strange beast that cultivates into a demon can also help the entire sect condense the luck of all parties.

Otherwise, in the barren land of the Western Regions, where it is not easy for human beings to survive, let alone cultivate, why can these spirit birds and beasts alone enter the Tao and become demons?

Besides, these demon-forming things are extremely powerful in their own right, and once they are tamed and become the Rui Beasts of the sect, it is tantamount to accepting a Dao cultivation embryo who is already not low in Taoism, and has extremely high talent and infinite stamina.

Therefore, the sects of the other four states in the entire Youyuan, as long as they have the strength, will spare no effort to send their elite monks to Guangxin Prefecture to capture spirit birds and beasts.

It's just that due to the traffic blockage and the bitter cold climate, many of them are extremely prestigious in one place, and they have cultivated to a very high level, and they have traveled thousands or even thousands of miles to Guangxin Prefecture, which is almost a black eye. These Qi refining masters, looking at the reckless snow-capped mountains and wilderness, uninhabited and lifeless, first of all, half of their hearts died; coupled with the thin aura and the unaccustomed water and soil, even if there was a golden pill that was extremely condensed and continuously delivered the vitality of the source force, it was inevitable that they would get sick and their combat power would be sharply reduced.

In this way, the barren Guangxin Prefecture is a piece of fat that cannot be eaten in the entire five states of Youyuan. The jurisdiction of Xiqiao Mountain is the throat of Guangxin Prefecture, in which business opportunities are wanted by fools. It's a pity that this Sect Master Cheng, who was called the "head of teaching" by the two disciples of Mo Qing and Mo Bai, just couldn't think of it.

Cheng Mo has been in office for a hundred years, and he has managed Luoma City, which is not inferior to the large city of Tongchuan, a secluded city, the size of Longmen Town.

Of course, in addition to business and making money, Zhang Taixuan and Yu Taixuan both mentioned that if the sect master is busy with affairs and arrests the thieves, they might as well hand it over to these juniors.

There is one thing that does not need to be mentioned, that is, if the matter of arresting Hu Jiu is to be handed over, it is natural to hand over the relevant people, such as the two young bandits who were personally arrested by the sect master, to them for interrogation.

It's just that several teachers and nephews came one by one with great ambition, and Cheng Mojin made them all disappointed. Not only did he not give a clear explanation about the matter of arresting Hu Jiu, but he only let the Zhanglutang watch and handle it; as for the matter of running Luoma City, Cheng Mojin said with a clear attitude, unwilling to work for the people and lose money, and did not want to see the lives ruined.

For the sect master to be so unreasonable, Yu Taixing and Xiao Tairou, a pair of Taoists, just said oh and left heartily. Anyway, these two are not short of money, the sect wants to make money, they are happy to contribute, and the sect wants to be idle, they are even more happy.

It's just that when Zhang Taixuan leaves, it is inevitable that he will be slandered, you Cheng Mo has been cultivating for hundreds of years, plus so many disciples and grandchildren, occupying all the mountains and rivers, heaven and earth aura, how many living beings' vitality and luck will be cut off?

It's just that what is even more surprising to many juniors is that this sect master, who is used to being kind to others and indecisive on weekdays, has been so uncharacteristically decisive in his words and deeds and clear in his thinking recently.

On this day, Cheng Mojin came back from the lonely peak of the sea of clouds, his face was still gloomy as usual, and the interrogation of the two thieves who were not tied to the boat was still fruitless. Daughter Cheng Cheng's appearance is becoming haggard day by day, and her originally black and soft hair is gradually turning yellow. If it weren't for the fact that Xiqiao Mountain has many panaceas, natural treasures, and let her hang as if she was eating, the little girl would have run out of oil and dried up.

On the stone path of the back mountain, Cheng Mojin's figure had just disappeared, and a girl with a ponytail and purple clothes appeared sneakily. The little girl's face was a lot paler, and her cheeks, which were originally plump and pink, were already visible on her cheekbones, and her complexion was pale.

The two-story stone pavilion on the sleepy dragon platform has no door, and Ren Pingsheng is on the first floor, leaning against the inner wall, sitting cross-legged. He sits in an excellent position, his back is straight, his spirit is strong, and he will hang in the sky. People who don't know why, when they see it, think that it is a certain immortal who is profound in Taoism and has rejuvenated himself, and is doing the practice of sitting and retreating.

It's just that this young man in Tsing Yi has wide eyes, and he is stunned, and if you look at the shiny pupils again, you will find that this person is not a fool with a broken mind?

He would use such a pair of eyes every day to meet two visitors, one was the sect master Cheng Mojin, who was anxious but had nothing to do. In the hour that Cheng Mo is here, Ren Pingsheng will return to normal, his speech and demeanor, his eyes and appearance, just like ordinary people.

It's just that the only thing Cheng Mo asked for today was: "Let me out, I can find which dragonfly silkworm for you." As for success or not, it can only be left to fate. Because of Hu Jiu's traces, no one knows. ”

Cheng Mojin tried countless methods, including all kinds of torture to peel off the cocoon of the soul, and poured all kinds of restraint into Ren Pingsheng's five mansions, three fields and nine tricks, making his life worse than death, and then suddenly took time to stage the drama of ice and fire countless times in his small world.

Rao is Ren Pingsheng, who has experienced the pain of his skin since he was a child, and in the face of this kind of torture that destroys his soul and bones, he can only grit his teeth and desperately resist; every time his body is alive and his heart for survival are hanging by a thread, he screams wildly, trying to distract himself and not seek death.

Every time Cheng Mo turns around and leaves, he walks up to the second floor to deal with that beautiful sister, for Ren Pingsheng, although it is a relief, he would rather these things be borne by himself, why bother to involve Li Xilian, who should have nothing to do with himself.

It's just that this kind of thing, Ren Pingsheng can't control it, and he can't even think about it. Because once Cheng Mojin abandoned him, Ren Pingsheng's mind returned to a blank space, not only was he weak, he couldn't speak, his hands and feet couldn't move, and even his consciousness and vision were blurred. There is no man, no self, no everything, no heaven and earth;

Therefore, in Ren Pingsheng's vague perception of the sea of knowledge, he only looked at one breath.

The stone path in the back mountain, coupled with the stone beam of the sea of clouds, should have been a matter of a few ups and downs and a sweep for Cheng Cheng, who had reached the perfection of the Three Realms and was about to enter the bottleneck. Since it's sneaking out, of course, the sooner the better.

It's a pity that for the girl in purple who is now riddled with injuries, the attic that is close at hand has made her stop and go for a long time. Finally climbing the last few stone steps of the trapped dragon platform, Cheng Cheng was bloodless and out of breath. She sat at the door of the attic for a while, until her breath had subsided, and she had straightened her sideburns and ponytail, which were becoming more and more difficult to comb, before she turned and entered the small door of the nameless attic with a strong spirit.

To Ren Pingsheng, who was sitting in the dark place in the pavilion, as always, his eyes were dull, the little girl was obviously commonplace, and she couldn't say that she was disappointed, but she still couldn't help but sigh softly when she was very old.
