Demon Cult.

When these two words fell, the four seats fell silent. The faces of the Taoists were ugly, because most of them had experienced the battle in the past.

At that time, the rivers and lakes were really in the chaos of the world, and demons were rampant. The whole river and lake seems to be a pool of muddy water, and it is not easy to be alone.

And the reason for that scene is nothing more than the word "Demon Sect".

The reason why the Demon Sect is called the Demon Sect is naturally for a reason.

They weren't called the Demon Sect at first, but called themselves the Eight Bitter Sects. These eight sufferings are taken from the eight sufferings in the Buddhist scriptures, namely: the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of sickness, the suffering of death, the suffering of love and separation, the suffering of not being able to ask for it, the suffering of resentment, and the suffering of the five yin and the blazing suffering. (It can also be said to be the five sufferings or the five senses of suffering.) ）

At the same time, these eight sufferings also correspond to the eight halls of the sect. At the peak of its prosperity, it is difficult to count, there are people in the rivers and lakes, and there are ordinary people, including all over the world, scattered in Kyushu.

At that time, no one could tell clearly whether there were any members of the Eight Bitter Sects around them. Because in the beginning, the Eight Bitter Sects were not a clear force or hall at all.

It originated in the troubled times, took root in the world, and absorbed the people with the theory of eight sufferings to overcome the eight sufferings together. And the disciples among them can have their own other sects, or they can have their own other sects, and they only need to participate in the meetings of the Eight Bitter Sects from time to time and come when the Eight Bitter Sects are convened.

It can be said that it is more like a science of faith, or religion, or even heresy, than power. It allows the congregation to obey blindly unconditionally, so that they can move and stop with orders.

At first, no one perceived its threat, and it was not until the moment it began to show its face that the rivers and lakes knew that it was too late.

Almost overnight, the Eight Bitter Sects controlled nearly half of the sects in the rivers and lakes, because their sect members had already been planted among those sects like maggots on tarsal bones. There are even sects where the head of the sect is one of the congregations.

As a result, the Eight Bitter Gates set off a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes.

What it wants seems to be very simple, it is very simple from the beginning, it wants to dominate the entire rivers and lakes, prosper with it, and perish if it goes against it.

It's a pity that no one has ever seen its intentions before it gets started.

It wasn't until most of the rivers and lakes had fallen into the hands of the Eight Bitter Gates that the rivers and lakes woke up like a dream and realized it.

But at this time, they had almost no resistance left, and under the offensive of the Eight Bitter Gates, the remnants of the Jianghu forces were in danger.

At this time, the imperial court intervened.

They mobilized nearly a million men and horses, and under the leadership of the Tiance Mansion, they assisted the remaining Jianghu people in attacking the Eight Bitter Gates.

At the same time, all the remaining forces on the rivers and lakes gathered to fight against the Eight Bitter Sects.

This battle lasted for three years, and it brought disaster to the whole world, from the south of the Yangtze River to the northwest, from the border pass to the outside of the fortress, and killed and injured more than a million people. Until the last year, the imperial court and the Jianghu people forced the last force of the Eight Bitter Sect to Fengwolf Mountain in Ruo County.

They fought the last battle, and the sky was covered with blood, and the mountains and forests were stained with blood.

It was also that battle that made the world understand how high a person's martial arts can be.

He Lang, the master of the Eight Bitter Gates, fought alone against forty-two famous masters, and after killing twenty-eight people, he died of exhaustion. After death, his body did not fall down until he was beheaded, and his eyes were wide open and his face was smiling.

Even now, when they think of that war, many people are still frightened.

Among them, it naturally also includes the disciples of the Wudang Mountain, and the head Zhang Changchen.

Zhang Changchen was one of the forty-two famous masters who besieged He Lang back then, and he still remembers that he was only a little short of dying at He Lang's hands at that time.

It was a feeling he had never felt before, a sense of certainty. You must know that even back then, his martial arts were almost perfect, and few people in the world would be his opponents.

But before He Lang, he still couldn't block ten moves, if he hadn't been pulled at the beginning, he wouldn't be sitting here now.

After He Lang's death, the disciples of the Eight Bitter Sect scattered and fled, and the imperial court surrounded and intercepted them, and finally completely exterminated the Eight Bitter Sect.

And this is the favor that the people of Jianghu owed to the court back then.

However, this is actually not a complete favor, because at that time, everyone knew that the relationship between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court was completely a kind of cold relationship.

If the Eight Bitter Gates unify the rivers and lakes, then the next one to be destroyed is probably the imperial court.

But the imperial court finally saved the lives of all the Jianghu people, so this favor was recognized by the Jianghu people.

It is also because of this that there was the later convening order of the world.

······

In the courtyard of the Wudang faction, Zhang Changchen looked at the white disciples below and said with a sigh.

"Therefore know the great importance of this matter. I need you to find out the truth as soon as possible, confirm whether this matter is true, and if you really see any trace of the activities of the Eight Bitter Sects, you will immediately notify all the sects in the rivers and lakes to clean up the courtyard, and you must not repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

"Yes!" all the disciples replied in unison, and even the confused Daoist sat up straight.

"Alright, stand down. Zhang Changchen seemed to be a little tired, waved his hand and said.

"I'll leave the specific matters to Xuan Xuan, and you can arrange it. ”

"The disciple obeyed. As he spoke, Xuan Xuan led a group of disciples to get up and walk out.

"Hey······"

When the disciples walked away, on the seat, Zhang Changchen gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath in his chest, raised his head, looked at the sky and said.

"I hope this isn't a storm. ”

······

In the Valley of Hundred Flowers, today's disciples are still busy, either collecting medicines, or boiling soup, or cultivating Caopu, in short, there is no time to stop.

Sometimes, they look like a swarm of bees, always hurrying from flower to flower, buzzing and arguing.

Only on this day, a red figure passed above the valley.

Bai Yao'er is not good at dealing with people, after all, she has been in the mountains for so long, and she has not spoken to a few people.

So this time she didn't plan to ask Shanmen, she was going to find out Li Si by herself.

However, she searched for a long time, and what she saw was not only a woman, but also a woman, which made her feel a little dissatisfied inexplicably.

Hmph, staying in such a place full of women, that guy must have bad intentions, and now he may be lying in some gentle township,

Thinking of this, the look on Bai Yao's face was a little colder, and the light work under his feet also sped up a little.

Suddenly, she heard two female disciples passing by in the valley talking.

"Hey, why do you say Mr. Li uses so many medicines every time he regulates his body?"

"Stupid, Mr. Li is very sick. Hey, it's a pity that such a good person is not treated by God. ”

Mr. Li, seriously ill?

Hearing these two words, Bai Yao'er frowned. Then he slowed down, leaned over between the mountain walls, and silently followed the two female disciples.
