Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Devil's Trail Emerges
"Don't thank you for your kindness, Yang will leave first! The kindness of all Qingcheng colleagues, there will be a reward in Huntianmen!"
Although Yang Feng had recovered overnight, he was busy interrogating the water thieves, and now his face was even more ugly, and he could no longer participate in the subsequent cleansing activities launched by the sect, so he had to go back to the Heavenly Gate to recuperate his body.

However, his expression was very excited, although he suffered a little hardship this time, he was lucky, he participated in exposing the conspiracy of the Six Extremes, and he must have a lot of merit when he went back this time.
"Senior Brother Yang is polite!" Bai Ya and the others hurriedly returned the salute and watched a few people leave.
"Ahem, let's go back to Xi'e too!" Meng Tian waved his hand loudly, and led everyone down the mountain like a triumphant general.
They didn't take a large amount of food, armor, and weapons in the water village of the Danglu Gang, which could only cheapen the local government. However, the gold and silver accumulated by the water thieves were basically divided among the warriors.
Most of them were taken away by the Hun Tian Sect, they didn't swallow it themselves, the Xianwu Sect wanted too much secular gold and silver to be useless, but would be returned in various forms to the poor people on both sides of the river who were harassed by water thieves.
This is the standard process of the vast majority of decent sects after clearing the bandit cottages, and it is also one of the ways for the Xianwu sect to isolate the world, but still spread stories and legends from time to time to gain the support and praise of the secular people.
There was also a small part of the fine soft that was taken away by Bai Ya and the others, Meng Chong originally didn't want it, but Meng Tian persuaded him to take some.
A portion was to be distributed to the hunters and fishermen of the seven villages, who had long suffered from the scourge of water thieves. On the other hand, Meng Chong and Lao Orion are going to Chengdu next, and Meng Chong is going to enter the Zhenwu Dojo, which requires a lot of money support.
Baiya also took some, after the Xiangyang auction and this trip to Yaoshan, he felt that it was still necessary to walk the rivers and lakes and put some blockages around him.
However, because he had already taken three bags of mustard seeds, he was too embarrassed to take too much, and only took more than two hundred taels of gold in Meng Tian's disdainful eyes.
In this way, the cost of hiring Orion Medicine Farmers on the trip to Yaoshan was returned, and he actually had more than 300 gold by his side, which made Bai Ya sigh greatly.
No wonder the martial artists of the sect regard money as dung, this money is too easy to come by!
......
Jingnan four counties, Guiyang County, Maling Mountain.
Maling Mountain, also known as Su Xianling, is said to be the place where the immortal Su Tan became an immortal in the early stage of the great fission of heaven and earth, and was called Su Xianling in ancient times.
Myths and legends say that Su Tan has no father, his mother swallowed Ping became pregnant, gave birth to Su Tan, and later got the immortal preaching, and at the age of thirteen, he crossed the crane and ascended to the immortal.
Su Tan is extremely filial, after the death of his mother, Su Tan will sit a white fairy horse to Su Xianling to guard the tomb of his mother every time he rests in the fairy court, so Su Xianling is also called Maling Mountain.
In the pre-Qin period, Maling Mountain had beautiful scenery, quiet scenery, peaks and caves, and beautiful and wonderful.
The average altitude here is very high, basically more than 1,000 kilometers. Not only the scenery is beautiful, but also the climate is pleasant, it belongs to the unique alpine dual climate, both plain and alpine climate, warm in winter and cool in summer, it is an excellent summer resort, ranking eighteen in the seventy-two blessed lands of Taoism.
However, in the middle and late stages of the Great Fission of Heaven and Earth, there was a major catastrophe in Malingshan.
At that time, the ridge of Maling Mountain was broken, the ground fire was raging, and the surface of the land with a radius of 3,000 li subsided by an average of 30 zhang, turning into a piece of red land.
In the Wuxing era, a kind of fishy black water began to emerge from this area in the middle of Maling Mountain, and later generations faintly speculated that this was the flesh and blood resentment of the victims of the year.
Under the influence of this black water, the local area has become a swamp of death, and many strange poisonous insects and beasts have been born.
Although the two pieces of Maling Mountain on the left and right of the ridge fracture are still full of spiritual energy and can be called a blessed land, the decent sects and cultivators here have slowly all evacuated as the years have passed.
Soon, this area was occupied by the Six Extremes Demon Dao, which was known as the Holy Gate at the time.
The Six Extremes Dao not only took advantage of the cave blessed land left and right in Maling Mountain, but also developed the Death Swamp to a considerable extent, and based on its harsh environment, it created several vicious and ruthless martial arts techniques.
Later, it was precisely because this swamp of death protected the Six Extremes Demon Dao in the early stage of the Great War of Good and Evil that their Dao system struggled to survive the Great War of Good and Evil, and signed the third Immortal Oath - the Oath of Good and Evil.
Today, the Six Extremes Dao is once again prosperous based on the Cave Heaven Blessed Land of the two Maling Mountains on the left and right, as well as the Death Swamp where the living environment has been greatly improved, and it has become one of the nine major sects of the Divine Evil Sect Demon Sect, and its strength is no less than that of a decent sect like Qingcheng.
In fact, the current Six Extremes Dao is very different from the ancient Six Extremes Dao, abandoning most of the tyrannical exercises that mutilate living beings.
The purpose of the martial arts sect has changed from advocating personal cultivation of immortals and immortality to the cultivation of the Heavenly Dao that also respects the righteousness of the human race. It's just that their martial arts concept is still different from that of a famous and decent family like Qingcheng.
The concept of the hundred schools of thought, including Buddhism and Taoism, is basically to maintain the reproduction of the grassroots people and balance the ecology of the world as the way of heaven. However, the Evil Sect and Demon Sect advocated that all grassroots people should participate in the survival of the fittest in the interracial war, and the elite line of war and war was the mainstay.
This strategy will inevitably lead to frequent troubled times, and the people will not be able to make a living, so it is still called the evil sect and demon sect by the world.
However, Guiyang County, where the Six Poles Road is located, belongs to Jingnan, which is a mixed place of Huaxia, Baipu, Cangwu, Nanban, Minyue, Nanyue and other human races.
The folk customs here are simple and strong, advocating force, there are many mountains and hills, poisonous insects and beasts are rampant, and the lower class people are accustomed to the survival of the fittest, so they can accept the concept and purpose of the Six Poles.
Otherwise, even if the Six Extremes Dao had the cave heaven blessed land of Maling Mountain and the protection of the Death Swamp, their Dao system would have died out long ago.
In fact, most of the evil sects and demon sects that still exist in Shenzhou today are similar to the Six Extremes Dao. First of all, they all occupy a blessed land that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and secondly, the local people can accept their martial arts concepts, so the inheritance of the Dao system will not be interrupted.
It's just that Shenzhou is dominated by China, and the people who can accept the evil sect and demon sect either exist in the southern barbarian lands such as Jingnan, Shunan, and Jiaozhou, or they are distributed in the Great Northern Wilderness such as Xiliang in the west and Youzhou in Yanjiang.
Therefore, unless there is another great turmoil similar to the Second Warring States Period, it will be difficult for the evil sect and demon sect to gain a foothold in the hinterland of the Shenzhou human race such as Guanzhong in the Central Plains, Jingshu Jiangnan, and Jianghuai Hebei.
At this time, the three peaks of Maling Zuo Mountain, the ancient and bright copper bell is ringing on the top of the mountain, and it is noon every day.
The main hall of the peak, the bright candle is bright, the fragrance is long, and there is an old man with fairy wind bones sitting on the long couch behind the hall.
This old man is wearing a high crown, describing a clear disease, with a long silver-white beard under his chin, and his face seems to be smiling, and he is waking up from a long period of settling.
When he woke up, he suddenly felt something in his heart and turned his head to look to the left of the hall. There were rows of human-high bronze pillars, about twenty of them, and each pillar had a thick candle at the top.
These candles are very strange, not only do they have no wick, but the candlelight is actually an inch high, suspended above the candle, and I don't know what it is burning.
Only some of the more than twenty candles were lit, and seven or eight were extinguished. The third candle in the first row appears to have just been extinguished, and there is still a trace of smoke rising from the candle head.
"No. 3 Soul Candle, has that child of Baishu fallen?" the old man closed his eyes and sighed softly, only after a while did he reopen his eyes, and asked lightly at the empty hall, "How did Baishu fall, and what is the current situation of Shen Guo?"
"Qi Qi Ancestor, the third Dao Seed Sun Baishu and his two military servants have all fallen in the Tuozhou of Shuishui, and the rubbing copy of the Teng Snake Heavenly Book given by the Holy Gate has been lost with it, and its whereabouts have not been clarified for the time being. ”
A gloomy voice suddenly sounded in the uninhabited hall, and after a pause, he said, "The plan to plant pears proposed by the No. 3 Dao Seed Sun Baishu has failed, and the Hun Tianmen is wantonly killing the Holy Gate Sect in Nanyang......"
"Alas, although the Hun Tian Sect is already weak, but after all, it is also a thousand-year sect, and that kid from Baishu is still too anxious......" The old man pondered for a moment, and then asked slowly, "But there is detailed information about the Battle of the Hundred Books, have the masters above the Hun Tianmen Potential Realm made a move?"
"Ancestor forgive the sin, the time is too tight, and there is no detailed battle report in the secret hall, but according to the report of Wancheng's internal line, none of the masters above the Hun Tianmen realm have left the mountain before the incident. ”
The gloomy voice hesitated for a moment, and then said, "According to rumors from the lower-level disciples of the Hun Tian Sect, this incident has a Qingcheng Tianjiao who is outside the list of the Holy Gate's young enemies among the thousands, and is involved in the ......."
"Oh?" the old man raised his slender white eyebrows and asked slowly, "Since you mentioned this person, what is so special about this person?"
"Yes, that Qingcheng Tianjiao is Bai Ya, a disciple of Qingcheng Qingdu Guan who destroyed the layout of the Blood River Road in Shu for more than ten years more than three years ago, and the people in the rivers and lakes call it 'Nie Zheng of Mulberry Face'. According to rumors, the bloody man of Di Dao City, who resounded in the four counties of Liangzhou back then, is also this person!"
"The old man knows about this son, but with this son's momentum, why is he only ranked outside the thousand enemies of the Holy Gate?" The old man's calm eyes finally showed a hint of surprise.
“...... This person is only in his early twenties this year, and more than three years ago, he was just a young man with an aura of less than twenty, so he ......" said in a gloomy voice, paused, and continued, "This person must have entered the artistic conception now, and after this incident, the ranking is estimated to rise significantly, and it is estimated that he will rise to the top three hundred of the Holy Gate Young Enemies List!"
"There are so many Shenzhou Tianjiao!" the old man shook his head and smiled lightly, and said with some loss.
"Sometimes I really envy those who are decent and occupy the anointed land, and according to the principles of righteousness, they can easily recruit a lot of heroes and heroes. If it weren't for that, how could my Six Extremes Holy Gate always be in a corner of peace, and I wouldn't be able to use my hands and feet!"
"The ancestor is relieved, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. Now that the catastrophe has been brewed and the troubled times are coming, it is the time when the concept of my Holy Gate is universal, and it is time for us to preside over the Heavenly Dao and lead the clan. A gloomy voice said expectantly.
"Haha, that's a good point!" the old man laughed loudly, then lowered his eyebrows and said, "Go, continue to pay attention to the news of the Shenguo Territory, and find out the whole story of the fall of the child in Baishu......"
