Chapter 32: The Beginning of the Storm
Zixiao Hall.
After everyone got up, Sima Yuan looked around, Pei Yunxiao, Ye Qingshan, Zhuge Wuchang, Cao Qiji and others were in the forefront.
The rest of Shen Yuyan, Zhang Zongsi, Mo Yu, Zhu Mao, and Zhuge Wu and others stood in line a little later, with solemn expressions.
The rest of the people looked at the high platform with respectful eyes, and did not dare to exceed the slightest rule.
In the main hall, there was silence and coldness, only curling green smoke rose and fluttered silently.
Sima Yuan's eyes drooped, fell on Ye Qingshan, and said slowly, "Elder Ye, what is the situation in Chiyan Prefecture?"
Two years ago, Sima Yuan issued an edict before the retreat to find out the details of Chiyan Prefecture in preparation for the future.
At the beginning, after the defeat and collapse of the Evil God Palace, the remnants of their forces retreated south to Chiyan Prefecture.
However, since Qinghong captured the Dragon Scale Prefecture at the beginning, many remnants of the Holy Spirit Sect and the Demon Emperor Hall disciples who had fled had joined the camp of Chiyan Prefecture.
With their support, those disciples of the Demon and Demon Sects infiltrated the various sects in Qinghong Prefecture and inquired about the situation of the sects.
However, the Zixiao Sect's intentions were so obvious that it was naturally impossible to escape its eyes.
Therefore, when the Zixiao faction summoned the peak masters of Zhufeng and the deputy peak masters of Zhenfeng to return to Zixiao, there must be overwhelming information transmitted from Qinghongzhou.
The arrest of the evil demons outside the Zixiao Sect has always been the sole responsibility of the Xingfeng Demon Palace, but now, when the deputy hall master of the Demon Demon Hall has not yet reached the Jindan Master, the Demon Demon Hall has Xingfeng Peak who advocates the direct control of the sect heir.
Therefore, when Sima Yuan asked Ye Qingshan about Chiyanzhou, she glanced at Zhang Zonghei in the palace.
Zhang Zongsi strode out, and after saluting the head above, he said with a solemn face: "Qiqi Master, since the collapse of the Evil God Palace, Chiyan Prefecture is the second of the five major camps, and when the Evil God Temple is dominant, the remaining two major sects are miserable, and there is a hidden tendency to rise up. ”
After looking around, he said slowly: "A few days ago, the barbarian patriarch has summoned my Zixiao faction, intending to serve as a guide for my Qinghong allies, eradicate the 'evil god temple' that is pressing on the heads of the countries of Chiyan Prefecture, and return thousands of Taoist friends in Chiyan Prefecture to a bright future!"
Finally, he bowed upwards and said respectfully: "The heir of the sect implores the sect to lead the Qinghong faction to Chiyan Prefecture to rescue the Daoists from fire and water in the three states of the Western Underworld, and to lead the Qinghong factions to Chiyan Prefecture to rescue the Daoists from fire and water, and leave some cultivation seeds for the three states of the Western Netherworld!"
The words fell, and the hall fell silent for a few breaths, and the eyes that looked at Zhang Zongsi were full of surprise and surprise.
Even Shen Yuyan, the peak master of Sword Peak, couldn't help but look at him twice, as if she was surprised, and then her eyebrows moved, and the surprise gradually disappeared.
The people in the hall looked sideways when they heard this, but they didn't expect that this seemingly unsmiling Xingfeng Peak Lord would say such words, which was quite impressive.
The fact that Chiyan Prefecture is a place where evil demons are entrenched has long been known, but there are also dozens of kingdoms of different sizes that exist under the rule of its sect.
Although it is true that these kingdoms believe in evil ways, the people who rule the kingdoms are still mortals of the human race after all.
And the people who have always conquered other factions are not famous and untouchable, and this time the Zixiao faction is fighting again, if it is for no reason, it will inevitably leave a false impression on people.
The so-called incompatibility between good and evil is just a pretentious discourse, and it is difficult to block the mouth of the world.
And this time, Zhang Zonghei pleaded with the sect with 'at the invitation of the Chiyan barbarians', which was not only an excuse for Zixiao to attack Chiyan, but also a message to the Zixiao faction and even the Qinghong faction.
That is, the Zixiao faction is extremely well prepared for this attack on Chiyan Prefecture, and the Chiyan Prefecture is not invulnerable, and there are still many people who hope that the Qinghong faction will come to rescue them and others.
The lord of the peaks in the hall looked relieved when he heard this, although the barbarian clan was from Chiyan Prefecture, but when the real person in charge led Qinghong to conquer the Evil God Palace, it was evident that he and others took the initiative to come to help.
Although he also has the heart to ask for others, after all, he is his own ally, not to mention that after attacking the Evil God Palace, Qinghong helped him and others to save the clansmen, and the two factions can be regarded as receiving a deep friendship.
Therefore, what the barbarians said was extremely credible.
At this moment, an old man near the temple gate bowed down
walked out, leaned down without raising his head, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, his old but excited voice sounded in the hall: "Feiyu Guan Du Jing has something to enlighten the real person in charge!"
Many people in the temple were either frowning, displeased, or cold.
The Flying Feather View is a sub-view of Zixiao, what qualifications are there to participate in the Zixiao Hall Council.
Many people's faces gradually became ugly, as if a low hum sounded.
The old figure of Du Jing, the master of the Flying Feather Viewer, trembled on the ground, how could he retreat because of disdain and dissatisfaction this time.
What's more, in order to step into the Zixiao Palace, he spent almost all of Feiyuguan's net worth savings, and asked for many Zixiao Sect real power figures, and only after several rounds did he have the qualifications to enter the palace, how could he let him slip away easily?
The abnormality at the door of the hall gradually attracted the attention of several elders in front of him, and then Du Jing's almost hoarse voice sounded in the Zixiao Hall:
"What the disciple said is related to the overall situation of Chiyan Prefecture, and I also ask the head of the sect to allow the disciples to come and tell them all!"
At the front of the main hall, Cao Qiji closed his eyes and recuperated, looking like he had nothing to do with himself.
Zhuge Wuchang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a few days ago, a message was passed from the people below, saying that someone wanted to spend money to buy a Senate seat in the Zixiao Palace.
When he first heard about this, he was naturally instructed to veto it.
The people who are on the council of the Zixiao Hall are either the masters of the peaks and the peaks, or the masters of the major halls and pavilions of Zixiao, and the number of people is generally controlled at about fifty, and the upper limit cannot exceed one hundred.
This is a new edict issued by the Elder Pavilion after taking charge of the Zixiao Sect, and its intention is naturally to establish the respect of the Zixiao Palace.
For several years, there has been a saying within the Zixiao Sect that anyone who enters the Zixiao Hall is either honorable or noble.
No matter how high the seniority status is, it is in vain not to enter the Zixiao Palace.
Therefore, before preparing for the palace meeting this time, the Zixiao Sect naturally inevitably had many undercurrents of dark box operations, but they were all blocked out by the Discipline Division.
This edict was personally issued by Ye Qingshan, the second elder of the Elder Pavilion, who would dare to offend such a bad head?
Unexpectedly, today, under the eyes of everyone in the Zixiao Palace, under the noses of the second elders, and even more so when the real person in charge of the palace came to the palace, this little Feiyu Guan Master dared to participate in the Zixiao Palace, which was really bold enough to cover the sky and ambitious enough to set the prairie on fire!
A particularly suffocating scene appeared, but after Du Jingdao said what Fang Cai said, the second elder Ye Qingshan slowly turned around, and his plain but cold gaze fell, without saying a word.
Suddenly, the entire Zixiao Hall was cold for a few minutes.
Before Ye Qingshan could speak, someone in the hall immediately stood up and scolded Du Jing: "Presumptuous!!"
"The little master dares to trespass on my Zixiao Palace, who gave you the guts?"
When Du Jing heard this, he trembled all over, beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead, and his back was wet at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The reprimand's face was full of anger, and he immediately shouted: "Where is the Law Enforcement Palace, and you still don't fork this person out?"
Ye Qingshan, the head of the hall, looked at it coldly, and said clearly: "Okay, it's not too late to send this person to Yan after he finishes speaking." ”
Du Jing trembled, almost spread on the ground for the rest of his life, and then after a stirring spirit, he almost cried with joy and said:
"Disciple, thank you for your leniency!"
Ye Qingshan waved her hand and said: "You will tell you all the things you have done, if it is true, you can be lenient, if you pretend to be shocked, you don't have to go back." ”
Du Jing's figure trembled, and he didn't dare to say more.
Without waiting for everyone to breathe a sigh of relief, Ye Qingshan's eyes were cold, and she fell on Wang Daosheng, the head of the Precept Division, and said lightly: "As for the abuse of power by someone in the hall and the private teaching of others, the Precept Department will look at it." ”
Wang Daosheng bowed forward and said in a deep voice: "Within three days, the Precept Division will definitely give an explanation to the Elder Pavilion!"
After Ye Qingshan glanced at him, she immediately said to Du Jingyan, who was lying on the ground without moving: "You can talk about it."
Then he turned around expressionlessly and nodded lightly at the high platform.
Inside the green smoke, Sima Yuan's eyes drooped and fell
On Du Jing.
Du Jing seemed to feel something, trembling all over, only to feel that his mouth was dry and trembling.
At this time, a warm word came down from above, "Don't be nervous, you can do it all!"
If this statement has magical power, Du Jing's apprehension, nervousness and panic will be eliminated together.
His face gradually returned to calm, and he said respectfully: "Thank you for the real person!"
Immediately, he took a deep breath, and after a little deliberation, he said slowly: "Qi Qi Sect, half a month ago, Qinghong Qingyan Sect advocated that the immortals secretly summoned the disciples, saying that their sect was held hostage by a force of unknown origin, and ordered it to coerce Ning Bi Palace, Sun Moon Altar to counterattack more than ten Zhen Peaks such as I Chengxiao Peak. ”
As soon as these words came out, many people in the hall glared sideways and snorted coldly.
After carefully looking at the top, he continued: "In addition, they also said that if I Feiyuguan betrayed Zixiao, it would also open the door for me. ”
After these words were spoken, the Zixiao Hall immediately fell into a deathly silence, silent.
However, everyone's reactions were different, such as Zhang Zonghei, Shen Yuyan, Zhuge Wufu and other peak masters frowned slightly, as if they were deep in thought, and as if they were annoyed with their behavior.
The lords of the palace were all silent, not daring to say more.
Wide open doors?
According to this statement, doesn't it mean that there is one or several 'inner ghosts' in this Zixiao Hall today?
Many people in the hall were already in a cold sweat and trembling.
Some people sigh secretly, some have complicated eyes, some people are frightened, and more people are nervous.
On the high platform, Sima Yuan's eyes were flat, looking down like a god.
The people in the hall are like all living beings, and their complicated expressions are all in full view.
He was indifferent, his expression calm and unfazed.
Several elders in the Elder Pavilion in the hall were all moved, even Pei Yunxiao, who had always been lazy, couldn't help but sigh, she glanced at Zhuge Impermanence with complicated eyes, and when she looked at the high platform above, she was faintly silent.
Among the elders, Ye Qingshan looked at Du Jing coldly, and there seemed to be murderous intent brewing in her eyes.
Du Jing seemed to feel something, and his creeping figure became more and more humble, trembling nonstop.
Cao Qiji frowned at first, then changed color, and then glanced at Zhuge Impermanence, his expression showing hesitation.
As for what Du Jing, the master of the Flying Feather Observatory said, there are no more than two results, one is true, there are indeed internal ghosts in the Zixiao faction, whether this person was inserted in the early years or defected in the middle, it shows that he has provided valuable Zixiao information for the forces outside the sect, and it is even possible to leak a lot of vital secrets.
The second is that what he said is false, but it is their plan to divide the Zixiao faction, which makes Zixiao's internal position chaotic and unable to concentrate on attacking Chiyan Prefecture.
Moreover, it can help Du Jing open up the internal joints of Zixiao and send it to the Zixiao Palace, and there must be other existences behind it.
These people are either hiding among the people in this Zixiao Palace, or they are lurking above the Zixiao Peaks, or they are standing in a corner above the Zixiao Peaks with a sarcastic face at this moment, watching the jokes of the Zixiao Palace.
But no matter what this person said is true or false, there must be someone inside Zixiao who is bought, used, and even controlled by him.
The predecessor of the Flying Feather View was the Flying Feather Gate, the territory of the Spirit Beast Pavilion, and its territory was naturally in the northeast of Qinghong.
Because it is the closest to Tianshu Peak, the matter of Feiyu Guan's surrender and change of number back then was naturally taken care of by Tianshu Peak, and this door has been supervised by Tianshu Peak for many years.
In this way, if the entire Zixiao Sect talks about who is the most suspicious, it is naturally Tianshu Peak the most.
Many people associate such a layer, and their eyes have changed when they look at the impermanence ahead.
If anyone can bring outsiders to the Zixiao Hall without fear of the reprimand of the Elder Pavilion, who else but the Elder Pavilion can have such great energy?
Many people who thought more deeply suddenly turned pale, looked at the high platform above with frightened faces, and trembled like a sieve.
Such a scene is so familiar.
Could it be that this is another trick to make trouble?
