Chapter 51: The Flames of War
In the autumn of the year 532, the sun was setting and the autumn wind was bleak.
There were sparse pedestrians on the official road, only two people were walking slowly, the sunset was behind them, and the two of them turned their backs to the sunset in the west, and walked towards the east without looking back.
The only remaining golden afterglow slanted towards the earth, pulling out a long shadow of the two men and women, who were very different in height.
The man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his tall body, the woman's face is like a peach blossom, and her body is graceful.
And these two people are naturally Cheng Miao and Guan Miaoyi.
Guan Miaoyi, who was walking in the back, had an extremely reluctant expression on her face, Cheng Miao was rough and thick-skinned, no problem how far she walked, she didn't go far, she was already tired and half dead, and her legs and feet were sore.
Several times, she almost opened her mouth softly and wanted to rest for a while, but when she thought of the deep hatred with Cheng Miao, where was she willing to let go of that face, she gritted her teeth and persevered along the way.
Who knows that this walk is most of the day, a rich woman who comes to her clothes to reach out for food to open her mouth, her ten fingers do not touch the spring water, and she travels far away by chariots, how can she stand this kind of suffering?
The feet with fine skin and tender flesh have long been blistered, and the blisters are crushed during walking, and every step is a hot and sharp pain, which is like stepping on the tip of a knife.
Guan Miaoyi, who was walking in the back, gritted her teeth and followed Cheng Miao's footsteps, every step was a heart-rending pain, not only slow, but also awkward.
Cheng Miao in front of him also looked disgusted, when he first decided to take Guan Miaoyi forward, he didn't feel anything, but now he regrets it more and more, this is really a burden!
He frowned, and urged in an unkind tone: "Can you hurry up!"
Guan Miaoyi has never been treated like this? With a good body and appearance, a good family background, and a treasure in the hands of her parents at home, how could anyone have dared to treat her like this?
When I thought of the past, and thought of the past few months, I had obviously worked very hard, but Cheng Miao not only didn't care about herself, but also had such a bad attitude.
As soon as she thought of this, Guan Miaoyi could no longer control her grievances, and her tears were like springs, and her eyes filled in an instant, and tears kept rolling in her eyes.
"Smack... Pop..."The tears had already slipped down, and the big tears did not hang on the cheeks at all, like rain, and fell on the ground one by one.
She kept telling herself that the person in front of her was her enemy, and she must not lose face in front of him, and she must not let him see her weak side.
But the tears couldn't hold back at all, the more I thought about it, the more I felt wronged, and the tears didn't stop at all, constantly pouring out of my eyes.
Cheng Miao naturally felt the vision behind her, looked back at Guan Miaoyi, and saw her pear blossom with rain, her teeth bit her lip tightly, trying not to cry, but she accidentally bit her delicate red lips, and a little blood overflowed.
Seeing the scene of Guan Miaoyi's pear blossoms bringing rain, Cheng Miao's heart moved in an instant, and he hurriedly extinguished the unrealistic idea.
This look of pity for me, any normal man who sees this scene can't help but feel distressed, Cheng Miao is also a young man in the ascendant, so naturally he can't avoid normal physical desires.
Desire is like eating and drinking, it is a matter of course, but as long as it is a normal person who is physically and mentally healthy, it cannot avoid the trouble of desire.
Reason belongs to reason, desire belongs to desire, normal people can't extinguish desire, at most they can only restrain the desire in their hearts.
Cheng Miao forcibly suppressed the ripples in her heart, and said stiffly: "Hurry up! After this section of the road and finish the work, I will be able to take you with you!"
Cheng Miao was obviously able to fly in the sky and chose to move forward on foot, it was really not because Cheng Miao deliberately made it difficult to manage Miaoyi, nor because of the headache caused by the lack of aura in his body, but because this place was a battlefield between the Nine Clans and Sanxiu!
Why is there a war between Sanxiu and the Nine Clans, if the reason for all this is investigated, it can also have something to do with Cheng Miao!
Because of the fact that the Nine Clans contain each other, the Cangze Continent is holding a chemical weapon, and they are afraid of each other, and no one dares to be too aggressive.
It is precisely for this reason that neither side dares to be the first bird, for fear of being suppressed by other forces, and has always only been secretly competing, constantly expanding the recruitment of its own monks, and constantly researching new technologies such as various formations, pills, puppets, etc.
The major clans are constantly frictional on the surface, and no one is convinced, they are all stumbling on each other in secret, and they are constantly accusing each other on the surface, and what they say is nothing more than that set of big truths.
Although they all knew that the Cangze Continent was overwhelmed, and the group of monks should be cut, otherwise it would cause irreparable consequences, but the Nine Clans all accused the other party of being insatiable, but in fact, none of them stopped their steps.
The Nine Clans fought openly and secretly, but at least they all kept that original covenant, so the cultivation world had survived the hundreds of years of "stability" in the Tianxing Era.
But things in the world will never change, whether it is people or things, even the earth under your feet, or the sky above your head, everything seems to be the same, but in fact it changes every day.
What really broke the delicate balance was Zhongmen, and in that game, Zhongmen secretly supported the formation system, which led to the Jedi reversal of the formation system, that is, that change the trajectory of Cheng Miao's life.
After that battle, the Nine Clans, represented by the Gathering Spirit Hall, were able to take root in the territory managed by the Formation Pattern System, and although the Gate did not interfere with the management of the Formation Pattern System, it had actually already infiltrated into the Formation Pattern System.
A huge clan second to the nine major clans was annexed by Zhongmen, as if a pallet that barely kept its balance was suddenly added to a not light weight, and the balance was broken in an instant!
With the moment the Gathering Spirit Hall was stationed, the respective intelligence systems of the Nine Clans were also infiltrated, and the operation of Li Dai Taozhuang in the middle of the sect could not be concealed from the other clans at all.
Zhongmen, who dares to be the first to break the balance, is about to face the joint attack of the other eight clans, no matter how powerful Zhongmen is, he can't escape this mortal situation!
For the first time, Zhongmen gave up some of its interests, and the Gathering Hall, which represented the common interests of the Nine Clans, settled in the Formation Pattern System, which was almost equivalent to the Nine Clans sharing the benefits of the Formation Pattern System, barely stabilizing the other clans.
The second time, Zhongmen wanted Li Dai Tao to stiffen and completely control the formation system, which had completely touched the bottom line and completely broken the balance, and this was an irreconcilable contradiction.
Unless there is a door to continue to cede benefits, but there is a door that is clearly unwilling.
The other eight clans secretly formed an alliance, and at that moment, as long as they could reach a consensus, Zhongmen would definitely not be able to escape the end of being annexed!
But apparently this alliance failed, Zhongmen had already secretly made a deal with the water demon clan of the First Sea, the wing clan of Cloud City, and the alliance of the eight clans had been shattered from the beginning.
As for why the Wing Clan and the Water Demon were able to let go of such a big pie as the annexation of Zhongmen, and thus chose to cooperate with Zhongmen, no one knows.
It can only be said that the Nine Clans look brilliant, but whether internally or externally, they are all in danger, and each has its own contradictions.
Even if the Jiu clan is six against three, if you fight hard, you can definitely win, but the problem is that the price you need to pay is too great!
After weighing the pros and cons, in the name of righteousness, the option of annexing the door has been abandoned, and what remains is naturally the option of re-"balancing".
There are gates that can annex clans and increase their own weight, and the other nine clans can do the same!
A piece of paper, spread all over the world!
"Born with vicissitudes, all things coexist. Our generation of monks is even more prominent, but in recent days, we all feel that the vicissitudes of the river are drying up day by day, and if we continue to fish with all our resources and take measures excessively, we may face the end of the world that has not been encountered in thousands of years. ”
"Based on the top of Cangze, the Nine Clan deeply feels the great responsibility, so they will strictly control the idle monks, personal forces, and heaven and earth resources in the Cangze Continent. ”
"Strive to make the most of every rare resource, but whoever takes any resource without permission will face the punishment of the Nine Clans. ”
"Anyone who does not obey the control of the Nine Clans, who breaks the rules, who violate the truth and justice, and who is willful and reckless, will face the punishment of the Nine Clans. ”
"Those who have not entered the Nine Clans will face expulsion, and those who do not submit to the management of the Nine Clans will face disbandment, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"
"The Nine Clans have the monks of the Eight Directions in their hearts, the Cangze Continent in their hearts, and the common people in the world, and hereby announce to the Quartet!"
A piece of paper, the whole text is compassionate, the opening and closing of the mouth are all the people in the world, every word is for the Cangze Continent, and the crooked and oblique are all written with truth and justice, but in the eyes of the Jianghu Sanxiu, there are two words between the lines - "cannibalism"!
All resources belong to the Nine Clans, and the forces formed by one hand must belong to the Nine Clans, and even they must devote themselves to the Nine Clans and become a resource that serves the upper echelons all day long.
One is the dangerous and free practice, which may be extremely difficult and may die at any time, but everyone has such a hope to reach the peak, and this hope may be extremely slim, and may not meet that opportunity in their lifetime.
One is a safe but no free practice, which may be comfortable and comfortable, and may go to its own extreme step by step, but there is never any hope of breaking through the extreme, even if it becomes a person who picks resources and explores ancient sites, but all items need to be handed over to the sect, and then exchanged for some spirit coupons.
Free and dangerous loose cultivation, in a precarious day, can be killed at any time. The disciples of the clan who are safe but have lost their freedom, there is no danger to their lives in the days of drought and flood to ensure harvest.
These two completely different paths were originally two kinds of monks who would never come together, but now the Nine Clan forcibly stripped them of the opportunity they chose.
Either obey, or within the Nine Clans, there is no place for loose cultivation.
Even the idle forces have to be forcibly under the management of the Nine Clans, which means that the Cangze Continent will be completely divided by the Nine Clans, so where else can the idle monks flee to?
At that time, the whole world will not be the king's land, except for obedience, the rest will still obey!
This piece of paper spread all over the world, and countless monks chose to bow down and surrender in their grief, and countless monks chose to resist in anger!
The flames of war burned all over the Cangze Continent, and the struggle between the nine major clans and the world's scattered cultivation began in this way, and the quiet time of Tianxingji came to an end in an instant!
This section of the road under Cheng Miao's feet is one of the battlefields.
On this battlefield, if anyone dares to fly in the air, it is simply a bunk in the toilet - looking for death!
A small cultivator of the Realm of Knowledge, no matter how strong his talent is, can he defeat the Awakening World, the Enemy of the Knowing Xuan, and the Enemy of the Truth?
Under the crushing of the Great Realm, a slap will kill you! It will be like slapping a mosquito to death, and there is no power to resist.
This area is full of war, as long as it doesn't involve the struggle between Sanxiu and the clan, as long as it crawls on the ground honestly, Sanxiu and the clan will turn a blind eye and hear it.
Just like the iron law of the cultivation world, it will never attack ordinary people.
As an aside, if it were to be placed in normal times, what Cheng Miao did in the small city, whether it was discovered by the clan or by the scattered cultivators, would not have a good reputation, and would even cause the Jiu clan to be wanted and offer a reward...
