Chapter III Council Chamber
On the Zhongnan Mountain, the sunset is all over the sky, and the slanting sun dyes the clouds on the horizon into a faint golden yellow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The top of the main peak is not a steep spire, but is a platform with a radius of hundreds of zhang, on it is a magnificent and brilliant building, the eaves and arches, although there is no carved beam painting building, it is majestic, magnificent, is in line with the wind bones of this Zhongnan Mountain.
The gatehouse that sits in the north and faces south has nine zhang nine, and there are three big characters in Lingyun Pavilion on the book, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and the golden hook and silver stroke!
At this moment, there is a person on the gatehouse who is staring westward, but looking at his expression, he is not appreciating this spectacular sunset, but watching the clouds from a distance and is silent.
Dressed in white clothes and white hair, with white beard and white eyebrows, he looks like a Nine Heavens Immortal from a distance.
This person is the head of the Central and Southern faction - Qianyi Zhenren!
"Senior brother in charge, why is there one person here. ”
"It's Senior Brother Lu, and it's time for the three-year Central and Southern Talent Selection Ceremony, this year's situation, have you ever heard of it?"
"Every year is not as good as a year, and I also got the news that after this year's post was sent, there were fewer replies than the previous year, and it has been reduced for five consecutive years, which is not a good sign. It has been more than 20 years since the First World War, and after many years of recuperation, there should be a slight increase, and the senior brother must also have a headache about this matter!"
The person who spoke was also dressed in white, the difference was that there was a circle of golden auspicious cloud patterns on the collar, black hair and short beard, sword eyebrows, eagle eyes, and a tall posture, half a head taller than Qianyi Zhenren. This person is the master of the Yinfeng Pavilion under the Zhongnan Gate - Lu Yunyi.
"Twenty-four years in the blink of an eye, and the thirty-year covenant is not far off. ”
"Yes, senior brother, this time it is really not a good judgment, but the other two factions are growing, which is very surprising to me. ”
"Many years have passed, the dark forces have not been to the Central Plains to make waves, so it seems that this time in six years, it will be a big test, and most of the dark forces will have to intervene. ”
"What Senior Brother said is very true, the Demon Sect has been declining in recent years, and I really haven't paid special attention to the trends, so I will strengthen the arrangements and retire first. ”
Lu Yun came in a hurry and went in a hurry.
The footsteps of the lower gatehouse gradually faded away, and Qianyi Zhenren shook his head imperceptibly and turned to go down.
Twenty-four years ago, several major forces in the Central Plains, led by Lingyun Pavilion, Faming Temple, and Lanling Valley, launched a great war with the dark forces.
The frontal battlefield is the offensive and defensive battle formation of tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers, the sky is a competition of masters in vertical and horizontal flying exercises, and the vast number of cultivators are competing in magic and magic weapons.
This great war is a period of golden iron horses! It is an era of heroes! It is a passionate story!
But it's a catastrophe!
Under the glory of countless magic weapons and weapons, there are fallen warriors, countless casualties of monks, and thousands of miles of white land!
Countless Li people have left their homes, countless wives have been separated, countless sects have disappeared, and how many of the gate valves that have been handed down over the years have been drowned in the torrent of war.
The all-out war, which lasted for a year, ended in a crushing victory for the Central Plains forces. Zhongnan Mountain was once attacked to the main peak, and finally under the power of the Lingyun Array, it was able to dispel the killing moves of the dark forces that were all destroyed, and there were countless casualties on both sides, and there were many masters who fell.
In the end, the dark forces were unable to attack and had to withdraw from the Central Plains.
The damage caused by the war was enormous, and there were even signs of foreign forces taking advantage of the opportunity to attack. The dark forces were unwilling to fail, but they were afraid of the huge impact of the defeat of the war on their strength, and after many careful thoughts, they made a 30-year covenant with the gangs in the Central Plains before retreating, so that they would not violate the Central Plains for 30 years, and the factions in the Central Plains would not enter the base camp of the dark forces.
It seems that the factions of the Central Plains are suffering, after all, the winner is themselves, but the three factions know that they will not be able to break through the various formations of the dark forces base camp in the short term and fight down. Once a tug of war is formed, it will be another bloody storm.
The thirty-year covenant was thus concluded. The accumulated white bones were able to settle in the earth, but the wandering ghosts, wild beasts, and wild beasts still wandered for many years.
The young disciples of each family still needed to be trained, so the three factions agreed to hold a conference that all factions in the Central Plains could participate in in the original internal selection. It aims to encourage young disciples to make continuous progress and build a long-lasting foundation.
Every five years, the disciples who are selected by the sect are selected from within the sect to select the disciples who are talented and make rapid progress to participate in the world martial arts held by several sects, and the top-ranked disciples can not only get rich rewards from their own sects and be included in the key training of their own sects, but also ask for advice from other disciples, and even obtain advanced exercises that are beneficial to their own cultivation.
Originally, the dark forces were only different from the Central Plains sects in terms of cultivation methods, and tens of thousands of years ago, there was no difference. But in the inheritance, there will inevitably be errors, and for 10,000 years, the difference can only be greater. Shortcuts and speculation are long-term love in the world, and in the long years of cultivation, there is no shortage of people looking for all kinds of shortcuts to improve their cultivation faster. It's just that some people walk this road openly and uprightly, while others walk in a cowering and unsightly way, and even more forbidden methods have been discovered.
Existence is reasonable, and some people do not have the talent to practice the Zhengda Bright Exercises, but they go faster and faster on the path, but inadvertently achieve the last mover to come first. In this way, there is the rise of the dark forces. At the beginning of its rise, it was no different from the light forces, and it was also the founder of a sect and the recruitment of disciples. It's just the limitations of their own exercises, there are more and more flies and dogs in the sect, and some people use forbidden ways to cultivate, so that the gap with the Central Plains sects is increasing day by day.
Early in the morning, Zhang Da summoned his father to gather a group of children in the village, and left behind a dozen children over the age of 14 and under the age of 18 who had not yet started a family and brought them to the village council hall. Now those boys have blown up the nest, the council hall is only allowed to come in during the sacrifice and the assembly, and now there are just a few of them, there must be something great.
"Come, babies, sit down, I have something big to tell you today, you don't have to stand, you can sit. Alas, I said, the second child of the Ergou family, what are you rubbing back, it is better to be a girl of the Sanhuai family, hurry up and sit forward for me. ”
"Dad, is this a big task, call us over alone?" Zhang Dazhao asked while rubbing his hands and his eyes lit up.
"You talk a lot," glared at him, and when he saw that he straightened his back and closed his mouth, he turned his gaze to all the children.
"We are such a small village in Banshan Liu, which is halfway up the hill at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and it can be said that it is the closest village to those immortals on Zhongnan Mountain. ”
"Wow, Dad, what a fairy!" and the others exclaimed.
The response to Zhang Dazhao was still a look, and after seeing that he was honest, Dazhao's father motioned for the others to be quiet.
"Immortal is the name of the masters of Lingyun Gate on the mountain, you may have heard of Lingyun Gate to some extent. However, for ordinary people who don't practice martial arts or practice, when those superb secret methods are cast, they are really like immortal exercises. ”
