"In the past, the four major sects selected their disciples, which were nothing more than two ways: the elders of the sect searched for people who were destined to recommend them to the Duren Academy, or once every three years, the immortals and seedlings of the countries and counties were selected by the palaces and counties, and the best of the best were selected. Patriarch Xiao's handwriting has not been seen for a thousand years, he appeared day and night on the one-foot-high tower of the dark cloud city, and opened the universal teachings, regardless of qualifications, family backgrounds, countries, and races, all those who came to the dark cloud city to listen to the undersea scriptures were all recruited into the Honghuang Sect. However, in a few months, more than 100 small sects have been merged into the Honghuang Sect, and there are 100,000 disciples. ”

Shangguan Ziyu Wan'er laughed,

"I use a pseudonym, and I also have a name in the Honghuang Sect, and I have to pass on some weird and shallow Dan Jue. ”

Even if the Sword Sect and Kunlun are counted in the subordinates of miscellaneous disciples, overseers of various places, palace hosts, protons of the nations, and Taoist soldiers, they are only tens of thousands. For thousands of years, the Daomen has indeed not had Xiao Longyuan's indiscriminate collection of disciples.

"Since the ancient Taoist group has inherited the mantle, they are all supporting each other and seeking the road. He is now alone, and it is unknown whether he can return to the world, but with such fanfare, it is exactly what the ancient art of war says: the real is virtual, and the virtual is real. I'm afraid my heart is very ridiculous. ”

Yin Yuanyuan mocked.

"But there are many people in the world who do not know the inside story, like the sand of the Ganges. In the past few hundred years, the Sword Sect had firmly controlled the Middle-earth Royal Court, and with the cooperation of the three sects, the other monks naturally did not dare to disobey the order. After the Hebei War, the pattern of the world has changed: there are seventy percent of the monks in the world who are watching the chaos. Although the sect is prosperous, in terms of the strength of its own mountain, it actually accounts for only one-twelfth of the monks in the world; when the tribal is attached, it can only command one-third of the monks in the world; now the elders of the tribe verbally respond to the Nuoben Mountain, and secretly tell the disciples to retreat and not give birth to right and wrong, and there are many people. ”

Shangguan Ziyu said again,

"Two and a half years later, the list of mountains and rivers is the vane of the growth and decline of good and evil. Patriarch Xiao wants to hold a ladder meeting in Wuyun City at the same time as the mountain and river list, and also invites the heroes to discuss the fighting method of Taoism, fight in the ring with the sect, and ask each small faction to choose sides. ”

"After retiring from the civilization era, the supernatural powers are flourishing, and the monks of the world will gather the mountains and rivers list, and the sect is still behind the mountains and rivers list. He was so arrogant and nonsense that he even discarded the source of the Dao Gate. ”

Yin Yuanyuan was angry. He was silent for a while, and suddenly asked Shangguan Ziyu,

"Since Senior Sister Shangguan is safe in the Demon Tower, does Tongbaohou and Xiao Longyuan have any agreement with the sect?"

Shangguan Ziyu said,

"It's not a loss to the sect. My father and Patriarch Xiao agreed that before he returned to the Three Realms, he would not do anything to any of the elders of the Honghuang Sect, and Patriarch Xiao also promised to entertain his sister until the day of the completion of the ladder to the heavens, and then return it to the South China Sea in good condition. ”

"I know that you Shangguan clan are such people! I talked about how other small factions were going around the bend earlier, but it turned out to be paving the way for your own retreat!"

Yin Yuanyuan shouted.

The Dragon and Tiger Sect is the only one in the world with the supernatural power of Shangguan Tianquan Realm, and it seizes the South China Sea from the Sword Sect with its own strength, and suppresses the dragons of the East China Sea and does not dare to act rashly. If he doesn't make a move, the strength of the sect owes a lot of money.

But since Shangguan Ziyu was able to appear in front of us in a good time, he must have confessed before the Nine Members' Meeting (which now seems to have expanded from the Seven Members' Association).

"The contracts between Tongbaohou and our Kunlun are still unchanged, right?" I asked.

Shangguan Ziyu said,

"Among Kyushu, only the goods colonists have a reputation. Brother Yuan must know that after the disappearance of the demon army Bianjuzi, the business contract between the Bian's chaebol and Ancestor Xiao is not easier, and they are diligently cutting the mountains and rivers of Yanzhao and building the Great Wall of 100,000 miles. How could the Shangguan clan fall behind the change clan? Naturally, the ordnance and 100 crafts ordered by Wenhou from the Shangguan clan would not be short. The gunboats of the Western Army are even more brilliant than a year ago, and now General Ling Yuyuan has crossed the river to conquer the Ouyang clan. ”

I sighed.

In the rolling red dust, the sect is to fight against the demons for the debate between good and evil, and the division of races, but the world is not of the same mind as the sect, and in its eyes it is nothing more than the migration of interests.

I looked at Shangguan Ziyu fixedly,

"Brother Shangguan, I guess Xiao Longyuan also used a trick: Is it possible that the heroes who serve him can split the soil and divide it, and inherit their respective lands and spiritual veins from now on?"

Shangguan Ziyu was surprised,

"How did Brother Yuan guess it? Thinking about it, there is such a thing, Patriarch Xiao has a move to split the earth, and many monks are attached to it, most of them are Jindan. There are a few yuan babies evenly, and they are not too powerful characters. ”

Yin Yuanyuan was puzzled,

"A true master doesn't care about these passing things. What is he bothering to do?"

"This method is much more ruthless than the Sword Sect. Senior Brother Yin, not all monks in the world seek the Great Dao, and ninety-nine out of a hundred are all hoping for supernatural powers to win hundreds of years of glory and prestige. Although the Sword Sect was a hall of words in its heyday, it finally restrained the monks with the royal law and the precepts of the sect, and there were few things where the strong bullied the weak and bullied mortals with supernatural powers. Xiao Longyuan divided the countries to please the monks of the world, and sold the common people into serfs who were strong. ”

My father is the general of the Nangong clan of the princes, and I understand the thoughts of the supernatural people in the world. People in the mountains and things in the world like Yin Yuanyuan are separated by several layers.

From beginning to end, the Sword Sect has been trying its best to maintain the pattern of unification of the world and peace among the four peoples. But this good intentions are out of place.

"Actually, Brother Shangguan also knows it in his heart, but he is just deliberately pretending to be confused in front of us. ”

I laughed.

Shangguan Ziyu said with a smile,

"My father wants my sister to manage the troubles of the South China Sea, does my brother think that my sister will abuse the people?"

"If the senior sister seeks peace in the world, she may spread benevolence all over Kyushu. I don't think so about the other monks. What's more, I thought it would be more appropriate for my sister to go to the mountains to study. Shangguan Hou asked her to govern the people, which was really hard. ”

"That's probably the practice that the sister should receive. ”

Shangguan Ziyu said.

Yin Yuanyuan passed my divine thoughts,

"So I'm very tired of such a character, the surface is fairy, the inside is full of dust, sooner or later it will jump back according to the snobbish transfer. ”

The three of us were speechless.

Oh, there was a strange voice from a disciple of the Sword Sect outside the courtyard:

"Kunlun Yin Yuanyuan, Yuan Jiankong, Dragon and Tiger Shangguan Ziyu, this sect Gu Zhenren is waiting for the decree of the Dharma at the door of the tower cave that is one foot high. ”

"What is the situation of the Sword Sect, and you dare to dictate us!" Yin Yuanyuan snorted coldly in his divine thoughts.

"Gu Zhenren is such a temperament, look at what he wants to do. I said.

Yin Yuanyuan only came to the top of the mountains and rivers thirty years ago, and Gu Tianchi had been in retreat in the Southern Wilderness for a hundred years. He didn't know that among the Three Sword Saints of the Sword Sect a hundred years ago, Yang Zhishui was a soft heart and a soft sword, and Gu was the opposite of a strong heart and soft sword.

Shangguan Ziyu said to the people outside the hospital,

"At the end of the supernatural powers, there is a military emergency, let me ask the real person to resign. ”

"What a ramble. I am now the head of the Council of Nine, and the disciples of all sects must listen to me. ”

The sound of gold and stone shook from the top of the tower to the hearts of the three of us. Yin Yuanyuan's figure flickered, and he opened his palm in front of us, and a sword mark appeared in his palm.

That voice contained supreme sword intent, and it had unconsciously injured the human skin on the mountain and river list.

Shangguan Ziyu frowned, and obediently followed us up to the tower to see.

On the copper tree and copper bar covering the Sealed Demon Ridge stood a real person with a beard and hair and skin like a baby, looking at the far north with a deep face.

At the head of Gu Tianchi stood an ordinary middle-aged Taoist priest. Although I had not met him, I immediately guessed from the appearance and demeanor of my clothes that it was Elder Lao Qian, who used to manage this ridge.

The next layer is Mo Yubing, a female sword fairy with a face like frost and snow. Then he was the first to summon our strange Sword Sect disciples, I hope that he has a Taoist fetus cultivation, and the one-eyed strong man under him is an old acquaintance Zhong Dajun, he has not recovered the eyeballs that were knocked out by the golden bricks, and then the long and short double swords Fan is incomprehensible. Then there were eleven unfamiliar Sword Sect Jin Dan, and none of them were among the Sword Sect Jin Dan I had seen when the sky fell to the real person to conquer the demon star. Xu Shaoji, Mao Ji, Wan Qichang and others who were originally in charge of the Demon Ridge stood at the end of the Sword Sect with anxiety.

Five hundred blood-clouded red-winged feathered snakes hovered around the Sealed Demon Ridge. Mountains and seas are said to be monsters of different birds and snakes, not restrained by birds, and have the ability to overcome snakes. Saliva is highly poisonous, and can be used as a raw material for high-grade corpse water. This kind of Taoist soldier has no peacock spirit, if there is no immortal tame, it will be a monster that will plague the people of Li when it is put into the world. I hope that the Sword Sect can always control it and reap the effect of poison attacking poison.

My heart says,

"It seems that they are all from the Southern Wilderness, and the Demon Wandering Courtyard has rearranged its personnel, and I don't know which of the later sages is more than the former sages. ”

The strange Sword Sect disciples led by the copper tree shouted at us,

"It is reported that the Northern Wilderness Demon Evil wants to chisel through the Divine Tower, forcibly grab the Divine Sword, and a traitor is planted in the sect. ”

The crowd was in an uproar.

In just an instant, the fierce disciple suddenly descended, and the sword light waved a Tai Chi. Wan Qichang, who was shrinking at the end, immediately separated from his limbs, dignified Jindan, and he was too late to resist, and the miserable sound was all over the sky.

"Ahh

Recently, Mao Ji shivered and muttered blankly,

"How come, Senior Brother Wan Qi is the most sincere......"

The disciple said, "This person is not diligent in his cultivation and greedy for progress, so he privately cultivates demonic skills at the bottom of the sea, falls into the devil's path, and becomes the eyeliner of demons. Just refine the soul, and you can confess. ”

His eyes swept over me, intentionally or unintentionally. I remember that I still have three corpse gods, and I have been touched by the life of the Sword Sect, and I can be regarded as possessed by demons.

"Then you won't be a member of the sect, you can kill it. Gu Tianchi suddenly opened his mouth and asked Lao Qian.

Lao Qian said respectfully, "Even so, God is good, and I ask my senior brother to spare the life of this criminal." ”

Gu Tianchi nodded and said to the fierce man,

"Righteous son, torture the soul of this thief for seven days, rub away the supernatural powers, and let him be thrown into the womb of livestock. ”

Righteous Zi pointed at his sword, and Wan Qichang's soul jumped out of his body and ingested into his sword. He roared again, and a feathered snake with a head ate the shell of Wan Qichang's penance in a few bites.

Mao Ji hid tears behind his back.

"It's a cruel punishment. Yin Yuanyuan was dissatisfied, "We Kunlun have never done anything like this. ”

Righteous son Yin Yuanyuan,

"It turned out to be Brother Yin Dao, who was eighth on the list of mountains and rivers. I heard Xu Shaoji's rumor that you are wandering around in the one-foot-high tower, but you are actually spying on the loopholes of our divine tower. I don't know if I want to collude with the demons, or if I want to have another ghost?"

Yin Yuanyuan smiled dryly,

"Just hang out. ”

The righteous son said to Gu Tianchi,

"Master, I am afraid that none of these three other sects can be convinced. Shangguan Tianquan has recently made peace with Xiao Thief privately, and in troubled times, he uses heavy rituals, whether he wants to detain their souls before rounding up the demons, or lock their hearts?"

I knew the righteous son by heart, and I kept a firm record of his form, breath, and thoughts.

"Brother Righteous Zidao is really personal. ”

I said to Shangguan Ziyu and Yin Yuanyuan in my divine thoughts.

Gu Tianchi Dao, who was far away,

"It's okay, when employing people, the three of them are still on the right path, and they can follow the work of dogs and horses. ”

The real man at the top of the tree took out an earthy yellow flying sword from his sleeve, and the sword was inlaid with a snake-clad woman with hair. I recall that this is the original form of the Huangquan Divine Sword that Lin Daoming really transported that day!

"Lin Zhenren didn't say a word, and gave him the divine sword!" Yin Yuanyuan asked me.

In the years when Senior Brother Yin was in the cultivation realm, the name of the double sword was inseparable from Lin Zhenren. But he must know that

"Yun Lao Zhenren cast the Twin Divine Swords, which was originally in the hands of Yang Zhishui Zhenren, and Gu Zhenren was in charge of Huangquan. It wasn't until a hundred years ago that the two real people were in retreat, and the divine sword was handed over to Lin Zhenren. In fact, Lin Zhenren rarely uses the Twin Divine Swords, and the world often hears about the Twelve Laws of the Phoenix and his famous qin. ”

I explain.

Gu Tianchi sacrificed the heart of the Huangquan Divine Sword, and a curved yellow light shot out, but it was pointing to the one-foot-high tower under his feet.

The tower shook, and the little bronze man of Taling was shaken out of the tower. It covers its heart, but there is no heart, only emptiness.

The tower, which is also the instrument of the Nine Turns, has opened an opening.

Yin Yuanyuan and I were stupid, and the sword light fell on the small courtyard of the tower where we were originally dozens of miles. We're in the Dan furnace there. But this is obviously the aftermath of this sword, and what the sword light really opened up was the dense forest around the courtyard, where Xu Shaoji had told us to be cautious.

It turned out that there was a deep passage in the dense forest.

We carry out our thoughts. Shangguan Ziyu suddenly said, "That end is Dark Cloud City!"

Mo Yubing had already led more than a dozen Sword Sect disciples and Feathered Serpent Dao soldiers to rush into the passage. A black cloud rushed in from the passage.

Gu Tianchi descended to the three of us,

"You don't have time to refine any medicine, and you're going to stop it for months to come. The road is one foot high and the magic height is one foot high, which is originally a twin tower, connected like an umbilical cord. This sword can be cut and cannot be cut off. ”

He said solemnly.

My palms are cold.
