There was silence in the East Lake Courtyard outside Jiangdu City, and the maids who came and went relaxed their steps and kept their breath quiet, as if they were afraid of alarming something. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, there were only two people in the main hall, and the owner here, Zhang Xueyao, looked at Shangguan Qinghong, who was sitting in the lower position of him, and said slowly: "Senior Brother Shangguan, they should be arriving soon." ”

Shangguan Qinghong lost the gentleness and kindness of her usual days, her face seemed to be a little older, and her tone was a little helpless and bitter, and said: "Daomen is going to be killed, but this time it may not be the meaning of Autumn Leaves, maybe the people below make their own opinions, after all, it is something that the ancestors of the Daomen have not been able to do, if it is done in their hands, it is really a merit to the sky, enough for them to enter the ancestral hall after they pass away, and enjoy the worship of future generations of disciples." ”

Zhang Xueyao said softly: "It's almost time for the people of the imperial court to arrive, and the huge Jiangdu is not yet their turn to do whatever they want." ”

Shangguan Qinghong shook his head and sighed: "Relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on everyone to go, it is better to rely on yourself for everything, in the final analysis, it is still our Sword Sect's business, completely relying on the imperial court is not like it, some things should be done by ourselves." ”

Zhang Xueyao was silent for a moment and then said, "Then I will go to meet the first deacon in person." ”

Shangguan Qinghong shook his head again, and said: "Since it is my Sword Sect's business, it is not the matter of the Acting Sect Master, you are not the Acting Sect Master, not long ago, the imperial envoy Zhu Xian broke Murong Xuanyin's immortal golden body, and he himself was also attacked by Zhu Xian, you can hide this matter from others but you can't hide it from me, the first archdeacon is already the realm of the eighteenth floor, if you are reluctant to fight with injuries, I am afraid that you will die for a lifetime, so this matter is still left to the old decay to deal with." ”

Zhang Xueyao shook her head and said: "Senior brother cultivates the Immortal Dao Sword, and the first archdeacon has the thirty-six remnants of the sword that Xiao Shen brought to the Daomen, and the same cultivation is the Immortal Dao Sword, and the Immortal Dao Sword is against the Immortal Dao Sword, there is no possibility of taking advantage of it, in the final analysis, it depends on the level of each person's realm, and the senior brother's realm is weaker than that person, and it is also a life of nine deaths." ”

Shangguan Qinghong smiled and said, "Even if you die, it can't be you, if you die in Jiangdu, what kind of face will the old man have to meet the Gongsun Sect Master under Jiuquan?"

Zhang Xueyao lowered her eyes and was silent.

Shangguan Qinghong sighed lightly again, "Senior Sister Zhang, although you are the acting sect master, but this time, let the old decrepit Yue Yu take his place once, and I will meet the first deacon for a while, and you will stay to arrange a retreat for our Sword Sect, if there is really a case, our Sword Sect can leave some incense and not really go extinct." ”

Zhang Xueyao was silent for a long time, then nodded solemnly and said, "I know." ”

Shangguan Qinghong got up to say goodbye, and said finally before leaving: "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, just do your best." ”

After Shangguan Qinghong left, Zhang Xueyao sat alone on the chair made of fragrant nan wood, with a thoughtful expression, her fingers lightly tapping the armrest of the chair, making a crisp sound in the silent hall.

After a long time, she picked up the cup of tea that had already been cold next to her right hand, and swallowed the tea little by little, only to feel cold.

――

Taiyi Salvation Tianzun, the first archdeacon of the Demon Suppression Palace.

People who are not familiar with the Daomen may think that he is just a deacon, and his status does not seem to be very high, but in fact, the first archdeacon is somewhat similar to the position of the chief eunuch of the celebrant and the chief eunuch, the grade is not high, but the authority is very great, even to the point that he can compete with the master of the Demon Suppression Palace.

The Lord of the Demon Suppression Hall belongs to the ranks of the Lord of the Palace, and there are eight Peak Masters in addition to the Lord of the Palace.

If the head of the Dao sect is regarded as the emperor, then the lord of the palace is the courtier, the first disciple is the prince, and the lord of the peaks is equivalent to the kings, if the head of the sect ascends or sits, and there is no first disciple, one of the eight peak masters must be selected to succeed to the position of the head of the sect, and even when the first disciple is not enough to succeed to the position of the head of the sect, or when the head of the sect cannot handle the internal affairs of the Daomen due to various circumstances, one of the eight peak masters can also be selected from the eight peak masters to take charge of the power of the sect, which is quite similar to the position of the regent of the world.

At that time, the old master of the previous generation of Zichen soared ahead of schedule for some reason, and the first disciple at that time, Qiu Ye, was still young and could not take on the responsibility of taking charge of the teaching, that is, the master of Kaiyang Peak Peak, Tianchen Dazhenren, served as the main peak master, and the monopoly of power was almost no different from that of the master, until Tianchen Dazhen soared, Qiu Ye changed from the first disciple to the head of the sect, and regained the authority that should belong to him.

It can be said that the size of the authority of the peak master has a lot to do with the peak master himself, if the peak master himself is high enough and his qualifications are old enough, he can serve as the head of the peak master and take sole power.

At that time, Qingchen was the peak master of Tianshu Peak, and he was the head of all the peak masters, after the dustless realm of the lord of the Demon Suppression Hall fell, Qingchen wantonly installed cronies in the Demon Suppression Palace, and held the authority of the Demon Suppression Hall with one hand, and even could fight against the old master Zichen, and had forced the palace several times to depose the position of the first disciple of Autumn Leaves, and finally set off a monstrous chaos, which not only made Zichen have to soar in advance, but even cooperated with the herdsman's Northeast Army to almost destroy Emperor Xiao's northwest foundation.

It's just that in the end, Qingchen still had a bad move, first defeated by Zichen, and then was cleaned up by Tianchen, not only was he sentenced to ten major crimes, but also his henchmen were all uprooted, and he ended up alone.

Tianshu Peak's vitality was greatly damaged after this incident, and it has changed from the top of the eight peaks at its peak to the last place in the current ranking, and it has never eased its breath so far.

All in all, the first archdeacon is a position comparable to the peak lord in the Daomen, and if you want to become the first archdeacon, the title of the great deacon that can only be awarded by obtaining the Earth Immortal Realm is only the most basic condition, and other conditions such as qualifications, origin, mentorship, and combat power are even more indispensable.

All the great people who can become the first archdeacon are all important figures in the Daomen.

Taiyi Rescue Tianzun took the King of Jizo and the King of Yama to thirty miles outside the Jiangdu City, where the official road was divided into two, the wide one leading to the Jiangdu City, and the slightly narrower one leading to the East Lake.

There is a courtyard on the shore of East Lake, which is the destination of the elderly.

However, the old man did not rush to step on the slightly narrow official road, but looked at Jiangdu from afar, staring in amazement.

Many years ago, the old man had come to Jiangdu, but at that time, his realm was not high, and he couldn't see anything. Today was the first time he had come to Jiangdu City after the realm attainment, and this time he had seen a lot of things.

In his eyes, the entire Jiangdu was a magnificent array, which enveloped the Jiangdu and a radius of twenty miles outside the city, and the subtleties of it were not even weaker than the Imperial City Array in the Imperial Capital and the Mountain Gate Array in the Daomen.

Because this big array began in the Great Chu royal family, it was rearranged by the three masters when it was built south in the future, and it was almost complete in the world, and if you want to break this formation, you must either break the Jiangdu City with a large army armor, or start from the city, there is no other way.

As for Emperor Xiao after the first battle of Dingding, the general trend has been decided, and the defenders in Jiangdu City opened the city to surrender, and the large array is naturally useless.

After a long time, Taiyi Rescue Tianzun retracted his gaze, shook his head and sighed: "Towering Jiangdu, even if Shangguan Xianchen is reincarnated, a sword can't split this majestic city." ”

King Jizo and King Yama looked at each other and remained silent.

Taiyi Rescue Tianzun no longer looked at Jiangdu, and turned his head to look at the slightly narrower official road.

At this time, at the end of the official road, another old man slowly walked up, dressed in a cyan crane, stepping on the dark clouds, although his face was old, but a pair of eyes were as clear as spring water, and his white hair was not spread out like Taiyi Rescue Tianzun, but neatly coiled into a bun and tied with a hosta.

The old man walked with a tiger, his big sleeves fluttered between walks, no matter who saw it, he had to praise a good celebrity demeanor, a good fairy wind bone.

Until this moment, the old man did not look like a fisherman, but was more in line with his true identity, the head of the Sword Sect's Shen Punishment Division, or the lord of the Shangguan Lord, who had produced such a character as Shangguan Xianchen.

The old man surnamed Shangguan quietly looked at the white-haired old man who reached the ground, and slowly straightened his slightly hunched body, and there were ripples around his body.

There was a soft snort.

A strand of white hair slowly fell and landed at the feet of Taiyi Rescue Tianzun.
