Although the rank of the Shenmen Sect is low, the Lingzhong Mountain where it is located is Zhong Lingyuxiu, with abundant spiritual energy within a radius of 100 miles, majestic momentum, and very atmospheric.

Lingzhong Mountain has nine peaks and one valley outer half ring, and the nine peaks and one valley are Tianfu Peak, Zhongfu Peak, Yunfu Peak, Shaofu Peak, Shenmen Peak, Shaoze Peak, Quze Peak, Lingze Peak, Yangze Peak and Taiyuan Valley.

The nine peaks are honored by the Shenmen Peak, and the remaining eight peaks are lined up one after another, surround in a semi-circular shape, set off the Shenmen, and form a deep semi-circular valley in the middle, which is the Taiyuan Valley.

The remaining area of the small semi-ring is an open hilly area, and the layers of small hills stretch downward in a wavy shape, like a flat terraced field, from high to low, from wide and narrow, descending in turn, and finally towards a canyon, forming a natural mountain gate, a typical cave heaven blessed land, has always been coveted by people.

Legend has it that the Divine Sect has a great history in the cultivation realm, but this is already a very old legend, and it is difficult for anyone to verify.

Gu Nanshan has been very restless recently. As the only Lingchi elder of the Shenmen Sect who stayed in the sect, seeing that the annual deadline for the Shangzong to collect the spirit beads was approaching, but the spirit bead flowers in the Lingtian were declining day by day, he was very anxious.

The sect master led the three Lingchi elders and a group of Lingyun disciples to go to the Luoxiao Mountain Range to hunt demon beasts, and it has been more than half a year, but there has been no news so far.

The spirit bead flower that lacks the blood and flesh irrigation of the demon beast, let alone the harvest, if it continues like this, it is estimated that the particles will not be harvested, or even all of them will die.

The Shenmen Sect is one of the sixteen first-order forces under the jurisdiction of the Great Luo Sect, but the overall strength is the weakest, except for the sect leader Huo Wuya, who is in the middle stage of the Lingchi, the other four elders are all in the early stage of the Lingchi, and the strength of the disciples is not good.

If the strength is not good, it means that they will be beaten, and the Liuhua Sect in the south and the Luo family in Chuyuan City in the west have colluded together, and they have long been eyeing the Shenmen Sect.

A year ago, two forces came to the palace and beat the Shenmen Sect to the ground, if it weren't for the secret response of a well-connected Lingdan elder of the Great Luo Sect, the Shenmen Sect would definitely have been wiped out. It was in that battle that Gu Nanshan was seriously injured and it is still difficult to recover.

Although the sect was saved, it paid a heavy price, and all five Lingchi monks were injured of varying degrees of severity and a group of Lingyun disciples were also damaged. The most terrible thing is that the Divine Gate Sect is not allowed to pay a large amount of compensation for the spirit beads, and even the tens of thousands of demon beasts raised by the Beast Pavilion have been emptied.

Without a reserve of spirit beads, and without the flesh and blood of demon beasts to feed the spirit bead flowers, what will the Divine Sect take to pay this year's tribute? In desperation, Ying Wuya had no choice but to personally lead the three elders and a group of disciples to go deep into the Luoxiao Mountain Range to hunt.

The spirit bead is the origin of the monk's cultivation, and it is also the common property in the cultivation realm, which is divided into the upper grade spirit bead, the middle grade spirit bead and the lower grade spirit bead. It is said that after the cultivation reaches a certain level, the Yuan Zhu is used, and it is also divided into upper, middle and lower grades. As for whether there is a higher-level existence behind Yuanzhu, that is beyond the cognition of ordinary people.

The exchange ratio between each level of spirit beads is one to one hundred, but this is only a theoretical price, in fact, the more advanced the spirit beads, the more precious, in the process of circulation, one hundred and ten low-grade spirit beads may not be able to exchange for a medium-grade spirit bead.

Every year, the Dao Court will gradually allocate a quota of Lingzhu flower seeds, which will be planted by the lower-level forces, and after the crops are harvested, they will pay tribute to the higher-level forces according to the proportion of 19 points, and the lower-level forces will retain one and occupy nine, and so on, and finally form a pyramid-shaped chain of interests.

The conditions for planting Lingzhu flowers are extremely harsh.

First, you need a spiritual field to grow spiritual bead flowers, the so-called spiritual field is the land where spiritual veins are stored underground, and every mountain gate of the cultivation force is because of the spiritual veins that you can start a sect. This is the fundamental basis of the competing interests of forces at all levels.

Second, planting Lingzhu Flowers requires a large amount of demon beast flesh and blood for feeding.

Third, the Lingzhu Flower Seeds can only be planted for one season each, and cannot be multiplied twice, and the origin is very mysterious, and it is said that it is closely related to the secular world, and the forces below the Taoist Court cannot control the Lingzhu Flower Seeds. The reason why Dao Ting attaches so much importance to the secular world should be inseparable from the Spirit Bead Flower Seed.

Gu Nan Mountain descended from Yunfu Peak, walked towards the mountain gate, and heard a quarrel from the mountain gate from a distance.

"Those who come stop and don't trespass on the mountain gate!"

"Immortal, I am a good citizen, and I have important things to face the person who is in charge of the sect!"

"Bold, you are just a layman, how can the elder of my sect say that he will see it?"

"Immortals, human life is at stake, you have a lot of adults, please be kind and let me in!"

"Don't talk nonsense, retreat quickly, otherwise, you will be punished for a felony by disturbing the mountain gate!"

......

Gu Nanshan frowned, the affairs of the sect had already made him anxious, and he wanted to walk around casually and relax, but he didn't expect to encounter this scene as soon as he came down the mountain.

He paced, with his hands behind his back, not angry, and saw from a distance two outer disciples guarding the mountain gate, who were entangled with an old man in shabby clothes, who looked anxious, and tried to break into the mountain gate several times, but was stopped.

"Why are you making a lot of noise?"

"The disciple has seen Elder Gu!" Seeing Gu Nanshan, the two outer disciples were respectful and saluted.

The old man who broke through the mountain gate was a fish in water, he and his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter took a boat to ride, and finally rushed to Lingzhong Mountain before the sun went down.

When the two outer disciples saw Gu Nanshan, they didn't dare to raise their heads, and carefully told the passage of Yu Deshui through the mountain gate, but they didn't dare to add oil and vinegar.

"Didn't the old man always teach you that cultivators should keep their hearts, know how to be kind to others, and not bully others?

"Follow the elders' teachings!" the two disciples bowed to teach.

"This old man, I am the person in charge of the Divine Sect, I don't know if you have anything important to tell me?" Gu Nanshan walked in front of Yu Deshui and said in a friendly tone.

Yu Deshui had already seen that the immortal chief in front of him must be an extraordinary person from the Shenmen Sect, and when he heard that the other party took the initiative to inquire, he immediately knelt on the ground: "Yu Deshui, the grass people of Jianglin Town, Yunze Mansion, meet the immortal chief!"

Gu Nanshan waved his sleeves, and with a soft force in the air, he lifted Yu Deshui up: "Elder Yu, please don't make this big gift! What is the difficulty of your grandson? You might as well say, if you have spare strength in the poor road, you must help you!"

Yu Deshui was busy, and relayed the words of Yu Sanjin's teaching, and even added the words "My grandson said" to the paragraph that slandered people for ignoring Shangzong and insulting immortals, which can be described as honest.

As an elder of the Divine Sect, Gu Nanshan's mind is so clear, how can he not hear the truth in it, listening to it, his expression can't help but be a little weird, and the corners of his mouth show a playful smile.

He has naturally heard a lot of anecdotes and scandals in the world, and he has always been very disgusted with the practice of the secular magnates oppressing the people, so he does not doubt that the magnates robbed the fish. But you, the old man, don't leave "my grandson said", obviously many words were instigated by his grandson to speak, and many of them are greasy, which makes people cry and laugh.

"This is what your grandson taught you?"

"Hmm" Yu Deshui blurted out: "No, it's all true!"

Gu Nanshan looked at the honest old man in front of him with a little interest: "How old is your grandson?"

"Dog grandson year Geng fourteen!"

Gu Nanshan's eyes showed a strange light, and the old mind in front of him was not very bright, and he would never think of coming to the Shenmen Sect to move the rescue troops, thinking that everything was the calculation of the fourteen-year-old child.

At a young age, he can be so alert, know how to analyze the situation, painfully state the pros and cons, avoid the important and light, do not mess up in danger, repair the plank road in the open, and secretly cross the Chen Cang.

Even the refusal of the Divine Sect to help was taken into account, and a radical method came out.

What's even more rare is that children are not bad in nature, have good courage, dare to be in danger, and protect their families, which is indeed commendable.

"Well, my Divine Sect Sect has not obtained a Fish for many years, and right now, this Fish is also of great use to my Sect. ”

"Furthermore, since our sect has issued a notice promising that those who offer fish can enter the sect to practice, your grandson, whom you have never met, can also be regarded as a disciple of my Divine Sect. In the case of affection and reason, in public and private, they should all be rescued. ”

"Jiang Lin is more than 300 miles away from here, and I am afraid that there will be some delays in sending other disciples to go, and if your grandson makes a mistake, it will be difficult for the Shenmen Sect to explain. In that case, the poor road will go with you this way!"

Yu Deshui was overjoyed.

Gu Nanshan pulled up Yu Deshui with his left hand, pinched the trick with his right hand, and a flying sword suddenly came out from the delicate small pocket on his waist, and the two stepped on the flying sword, instantly soared into the sky, and flew straight to the direction of Jianglin.
