Chapter 273: Strange Sect
Huang Yuanwu groaned slightly, and replied softly: "Don't hide it from my uncle, my father has left five secret guards in the East Palace, who are responsible for protecting the safety of the East Palace. ”
"Dark Guard ......" Xu Xiuping paused slightly, and then asked: "Is it the black figure who went to my Cangxing Sect to deliver a letter, this person's cultivation is weird, even I didn't notice it too much, but when he disappeared, I saw a trace of a figure." With such a person to guard, what are you worried about?"
Xu Xiuping didn't know about the secret guards of the East Palace, but it was no wonder that the nine secret guards of the East Palace, in addition to the East King himself, were only known to Huang Yuanwu. But now there are only five of the nine secret guards left, and the remaining four, I don't know where they were transferred by their father before, and they have never returned.
"Uncle Shi doesn't know, these secret guards are left by my father, they are just the last layer of protection for the East Palace, protecting the East Palace from destruction, and in addition, they will only do some things to pass on the news, and the younger generation cannot order them to do anything. Huang Yuanwu said in a deep voice and told Xu Xiuping about the secret guard, he was not worried that Xu Xiuping would leak it.
After only a short period of contact, Huang Yuanwu already knew that Xu Xiuping, the master in front of him, was completely on his side.
"Your dad would do such unreliable things. Xu Xiuping frowned slightly, and scolded: "There is such a group of masters, but they can't be called, isn't this self-defeating." ”
Huang Yuanwu didn't speak, he didn't know much about the nine secret guards, the whereabouts of these people were secretive, Huang Yuanwu didn't know where a few people lived in the East Wangfu until now, but when he called them, he appeared in front of him for the first time, which was very weird.
Huang Yuanwu had also asked his father before, but King Dong only shook his head and did not have any intention of answering.
Therefore, the secret guard of this palace has become one of the secrets of the East Palace.
"Well, don't talk about it. Xu Xiuping walked to the chair, sat down again, pointed to a chair beside him, and said, "You sit down." ”
Huang Yuanwu nodded immediately, sat down next to Xu Xiuping, looked at Xu Xiuping, but found that his application was a little dignified.
"If you guessed correctly, the rune paper you just gave me is from the Red Rainbow Sect. Xu Xiuping's voice was low, and he whispered to Huang Yuanwu: "If this is the case, then the current situation may be a little tricky." ”
Huang Yuanwu was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Uncle Shi say this? What is going on with this Red Rainbow Sect?"
"Red Rainbow Sect ......," Xu Xiuping sighed lightly.
The Red Rainbow Sect is one of the sects in the territory of Qitian, with a long history of establishment and profound heritage, with more than one venerable monk, and it is also considered a top sect in the entire sect world.
Now the sect master of the Red Rainbow Sect, Duanmu Huai. Xiu Lei attribute vindictive, in charge of the Red Rainbow Sect for many years, I am afraid that he is more than a hundred years old, the Red Rainbow Sect is also in his hands, every auspicious to avoid evil, and slowly walked to the height of the superior sect.
The Red Rainbow Sect has always had an excellent reputation in the entire sect world, and coupled with the fact that the sect master with advanced cultivation is in charge, this makes the number of young disciples who have entered the Red Rainbow Sect very large, and the door is like a market.
The mountain gate of the Red Rainbow Sect has also become a famous local immortal mountain, and the people say that if you enter the mountain gate of the Red Rainbow Sect to practice, you can become an immortal, which is of course a folk legend, but it can also reflect the status of the Red Rainbow Sect in the hearts of the surrounding people.
In addition, the Red Rainbow Sect gathers the source array, so that the entire mountain gate is full of natural power, after entering the immortal mountain, mortals can also absorb the power of nature, strengthen the body, and prolong life. The spiritual flowers and plants on the fairy mountain are beautiful.
For a long time, the Red Rainbow Sect was a pure land.
But in the last decade or so, things have changed a bit.
The sect master of the Chihong Sect began to practice in retreat, not asking about the world, and the affairs of the sect were all handed over to his junior disciples.
They are both cultivators, but their minds are very different. There are those who seek the Tao with all their hearts and do not care about the affairs of the world, and are unmoved by the temptations of the world. But some people practice for the sake of their desires, and the higher their cultivation, the greater their desires.
And Duanmuhuai's younger brother Lu Yan belongs to the latter.
He does not have the state of mind of ordinary cultivators, and his physique is not special, but his talent is extremely high, and his cultivation is very fast, and he has cultivated to the level of a martial artist at the age of thirty, which can be described as a bright future.
But this person has extremely vulgar desires, and as a cultivator, he especially likes the yellow and white things of the world, and in addition, he has no restraint on women.
The Red Rainbow Sect does not have too many rules for its disciples, Duanmu Huai knows that people have their own inner desires, if this desire is not satisfied, their cultivation will not improve, so they do not require their disciples to be pure-hearted and have few desires, as long as they don't go too far, most of them choose to turn a blind eye.
For his highly talented junior brother Lu Yan, Duanmu Huai also adopted the same attitude, as long as he didn't do too much, he liked yellow and white things and the beauty of the world, and there was nothing.
Before Duanmu Huai's retreat, he was in charge of the overall situation, and Lu Yan was still restrained and didn't do anything too out of the ordinary, but after Duanmu Huai's retreat hit the bottleneck of cultivation and handed over all the sect affairs to Lu Yan, things became a little different.
At the beginning, Lu Yan was still a little concerned about his reputation, although he liked beauty and gold and silver, but he was not blatant, and only collected gold and silver in a small area within the sect by privately teaching the cultivation method, which was a trivial matter and did not attract widespread attention.
After tasting the sweetness, Lu Yan began to become a little more aggressive, not just collecting gold and silver in a small area, but issuing a decree that all cultivation methods within the entire sect should be clearly priced, and if you want to cultivate, you must hand over gold and silver.
As soon as this order came out, not only the people of the Red Rainbow Sect, but the entire sect world was in an uproar.
Gold and silver things are originally dispensable for cultivators, they have their own mountain gates, and they can be self-sufficient, and the wealthy merchants near the sect also have a lot of gold and silver donations, and they don't have to worry about building mountain gates. Ordinary cultivators sneer at gold and silver things, treating them as things outside the body, and they have never heard of a person with advanced cultivation who regards wealth as life, Lu Yan's practice really made everyone gain insight.
After collecting a large amount of gold and silver, Lu Yan used these gold and silver to build a luxurious mansion at the foot of Xianshan Mountain, which was resplendent in the mansion, carved beams and painted buildings, and Lu Yan himself stayed in this mansion every day to enjoy luxury.
At this point, although Lu Yan's approach was despised by most cultivators, the Red Rainbow Sect originally paid attention to the understanding of thoughts, and did not blindly cultivate asceticly, and after a long time, no one said anything. It's just that this Chihong Sect has changed from the original Qing Xiu Mountain Gate to a private school, and those who enter the sect have to pay money if they want to practice. In this way, the direct consequence is that the reputation of the Red Rainbow Sect has plummeted, and the surrounding people have gradually stopped treating the Red Rainbow Sect as an immortal mountain, and the matter of cultivation has also become a secular thing.
Lu Yan married a four-room wife in his mansion, but he was still not satisfied, after he did these things, he found that the sect did not react much, so he intensified his efforts, and used the property he collected to buy female dependents in the people, so as to enrich his harem.
Slowly, the Red Rainbow Sect became Lu Yan's court, the mountain gate became his tool for collecting money, and the mansion became his Xiaojin Grotto. Gold and silver continued to flow into the Red Rainbow Sect, into Lu Yan's pocket, and then from Lu Yan's mansion and into the people.
Later, in Lu Yan's mansion, there were hundreds of female dependents and hundreds of servants, spending money every day like running water, living a life where the emperor did not change.
Moreover, under Lu Yan's journey, many businessmen gathered here in the surrounding villages and towns within a radius of 100 miles, and did everything they could to establish a relationship with Lu Yan.
For a while, money and beauties intensified into Lu Yan's mansion to satisfy his desires infinitely. Although Lu Yan regards wealth as his life and is extremely beautiful, he also spends money like running water to maintain the operation of this big mansion, which also feeds the surrounding villages and towns in disguise.
After a short time, the surrounding villages and towns actually had a deformed prosperity, and many people made a living by providing work for Lu Yan's mansion, and the surrounding businessmen wanted to have a relationship with Lu Yan, so that they could not only get the cultivation method at a discounted price, but even rely on Lu Yan to make a lot of money.
In this way, Lu Yan turned into the richest man in this hundred miles, and the entire Red Rainbow Sect became his personal tool for collecting money.
In this regard, there were naturally many objections within the Red Rainbow Sect, but Lu Yan turned a deaf ear and never took it seriously. Some of the elders in the sect are not as high in cultivation as Lu Yangao, and they can't really balance him. Fortunately, even if Lu Yan regarded wealth as his life, he had never turned the core exercises of the Red Rainbow Sect into money, and although the elders were angry, they could only wait for Duanmu Huai to come out.
However, the entire sect realm is slowly moving away from the Red Rainbow Sect, and there is a faint feeling that the Red Rainbow Sect is isolated.
This situation has lasted for three years, and the Red Rainbow Sect has become a sect that can be entered by a person, as long as you pay money, you can cultivate, even if you don't have a cultivated physique, with the blessing of the Red Rainbow Sect's Gathering Source Great Array, plus many cultivation methods, you can also cultivate to the primary level of cultivators, and reach the level of using Dou Qi. As a result, the Red Rainbow Sect became less of a sect and more like a trading house.
As long as you have money, you can practice the exercises and become a monk, although people who do not have a natural physique can at most cultivate to the primary level of a cultivator, but as long as they can call on the power of nature, they can enhance their physique and prolong their life, which makes people within a radius of a hundred miles have a tendency to rush to it.
And Lu Yan, who lives a fairy-like life every day, has improved his cultivation day by day, and in three years, he has reached the intermediate level of martial arts, and Lu Yan's talent can be seen.
Three years later, Duanmu Huai came out, and the elders immediately reported to Duanmu Huai what he had done in the past three years, and took Duanmu Huai to Lu Yan's mansion in person.
I thought that Duanmu Huai would be furious when he saw what Lu Yan had done, and took back Lu Yan's authority to manage the sect and punish him severely. But to everyone's surprise, after Duanmu Huai was sure that Lu Yan had not sold the core exercises of the sect, Duanmu Huai made an astonishing move.
Instead of punishing Lu Yan, he praised his approach, and took out some of the sect's partial exercises and gave them to Lu Yan, asking him to continue selling them and collecting money to teach the people around him. Subsequently, he actually handed over the front mountain of Xianshan to Lu Yan and asked him to continue what he was doing now, while Duanmu took the core disciples of the sect and a group of elders to retreat to the back mountain and go into hiding.
Regarding Duanmu Huai's approach, the entire Red Rainbow Sect was in an uproar, and the matter of Duanmu Huai sitting behind them made them even more speechless.
First of all, Duanmu Huai expelled Lu Yan from the division, which first shocked all the elders of the Chihong Sect, although Lu Yan made the entire sect into a miasma, but he did not do anything too outrageous, and he never burned, looted, bought and sold, even if he liked women, most of them were willing to each other, even if they were bought with money, they were also approved by the female relatives in advance, and after entering the mansion, Lu Yan had never abused his family. Moreover, Lu Yan's cultivation qualifications were extremely high, and the elders originally just wanted Duanmu Huai to discipline Lu Yan and let him not go too far, after all, the Red Rainbow Sect was a well-known sect, but they didn't want Duanmu Huai to expel him from the sect after handing over the front mountain to Lu Yan again.
And Duanmu Huai's approach in the back really made all the elders stunned.
