38.Chapter 38 The Little Daughter-in-law Returns to Her Mother's Home and the Tragedy
It's autumn again, Yunxiao stood on Yuhua Mountain, looked in the direction of Sanghu Village, and looked into the distance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Sir, what's wrong?" Lin Qingyu's gentle voice came into Yun Xiao's ears.
Yun Xiao scratched his head and smiled a little stupidly: "It's nothing, huh...... I guess autumn has arrived, and it seems that autumn is especially homesick...... Some of them remembered the past...... Five years ago...... I...... Well, you know, just came into the world. Actually, I'm really glad I met the old village chief, otherwise I really don't know where I would go, and ...... You won't meet the Lin family. ”
Lin Qingyu nodded understandingly, looked at Yun Xiaoxiao, his eyes were confused. For more than a year, this little master, who looks like a teenager but has deep eyes, seems to have become his own family, and when he stays by his side, he feels as if he is by his parents' side, and as long as he can look at him, there is a strange sense of happiness in his heart. Lin Qingyu didn't know if this was love, but he knew that whenever he saw his smile, he was very happy, and when he saw his sorrow, he felt sad in his heart.
"Sir...... Are you going to see them?"
"Huh?" Yun laughed for a moment, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "Yes, what's wrong with me, since I think of them, I'll go and see." I'm not a monk, hey, maybe I'm too concerned about the division between the world of monks and ordinary people. ”
Lin Qingyu pursed his lips and smiled: "Actually, there is not much difference between monks and ordinary people. ”
"yes...... Well, then, let's go see them. ”
"Well, sir, I'll go and get some presents for you. ”
"Ah......" Yun Xiao scratched his head ashamedly: "You are still careful, I really didn't expect it." ”
"Hee-hee, Mr. is a person who does big things, and this kind of thing is what our daughter's family should worry about. Lin Qingyu said, and began to take out things from the storage jade slip: "Well, there is no spirit stone trading market in Sanghu Village, so the spirit stone is not good, although it is protected by our Qionghua Villa, I don't worry about the disaster of Huaibi, but it is not good after all...... Well, by the way, the old village chief of Sang is about sixty years old, and in his recent years, do you want to bring some longevity elixir......s? Chunhuadan is not good, the effect is too strong...... It's okay to rejuvenate the dead wood, but it depends on whether the physical conflict with the village chief is ......" Lin Qingyu rummaged through a pile of miscellaneous items, chattering quite like a little daughter-in-law who was about to go back to her parents' house......
Yun Xiao looked at Lin Qingyu's busy figure, sweet and bitter in his heart. Alas, it's been more than half a year, and the side effects of psychotherapy don't seem to have diminished...... If I'm used to her like this...... What can we do in the future......
The Lin family, as a veteran Xiuzhen family, has absolutely no shortage of flying magic weapons, although Sanghu Village is not far away, but Yun Xiao, in the spirit of "returning to his hometown", still has the cheekiness to ask Lin Qingyu to drive a flying boat to travel.
The flying boat is a relatively common flying magic weapon, which is powered by a hedron. A good flying boat also comes with a variety of protective formations or others, and its speed is also fast and slow. Some flying boats even belong to the category of magic weapons, but the general flying boat is also the role of transportation, although it seems to be magical, in fact, it is just for the world, although the flying boat is expensive, but it is not a rare thing in the cultivation world.
In fact, since an unknown refining master improved the ancient flying boat 80,000 years ago, so that the flying boat can be driven at a low cost, the flying boat has become a nearly universal magic weapon, and monks with small assets often have one, even the worldly royal family often has a flying boat to support face.
In fact, Lin Qingyu in the Dan period was already able to control the flying sword and sword flight, but having a flying boat to ride was definitely more comfortable than stepping on the flying sword and being blown by the wind, and the main thing was that Lin Qingyu was used to hiding the identity of the Yudan.
When Yun Xiao arrived in Sanghu Village, he found that the atmosphere in the village was a little wrong, and he was quite sad and sad. Yun Xiao's heart tightened and she found the village chief's house.
The village chief was naturally overjoyed when he saw that Yun Xiao actually came back to visit him, and his attitude was still the same, and he was not superior to others because he became a monk. It's a pity that although Yun Xiao didn't put on a show, the village chief was still close, but he still had a little more respect for the monk from mortals, and there was no more agreeable words between words, and there was no more easy-going in the past.
After a few words of greeting, Yun Xiao was also a little uncomfortable with the respectful attitude of the old village chief and the son of the village chief who used to call him a brother, sighed slightly in his heart, and changed the topic: "Village chief, when I came in just now, I saw that the village seemed to be a little sad, I don't know what it is?"
The village chief sighed: "But it was the Ma brothers who suffered misfortune, leaving two orphans and widows behind......"
Yun Xiao frowned: "What's unfortunate? I remember that although the brothers of the Ma family are not monks, they are warriors, and they have never been in danger of hunting on weekdays, could it be that someone dares to come to Sanghu Village to do evil? Or is there another demon beast in the nearby mountains and forests?"
The village chief glanced at Lin Qingyu, who was standing quietly, and arched his hand in the direction of Qionghua Villa: "With the protection of the immortal master of Yuhua Mountain, where would anyone come here to spread wilderness for hundreds of miles? ”
"Last year, Master Yun, you entered Qionghua Xianzhuang, and everyone in the village was envious. The grandfather of the Ma family brothers is said to have been an innate martial arts master, and he has also seen the world, and he is even more envious. Later, it was originally a good thing, when the two brothers went to Yanyun City to sell prey, they were fortunate enough to worship under the sect of Yanyun City's 'Xuanshuang Sword Sect' and became preparatory monks......"
The old village chief sighed: "At that time, the affairs of the Ma family brothers made everyone happy for a while, but I didn't expect this world to happen...... Fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, just seven days ago, the Xuanshuang Sword Sect didn't know who it had offended, and it was actually killed overnight...... Even the outer disciples of the Ma family, who had only been in the field for less than half a year, killed not a single one...... Alas......" The old village chief shook his head and looked out the window with pity at the home of the Ma brothers who faintly heard the cries of women and children.
After leaving some life-prolonging medicines for the old village chief and some belongings for the women and children of the Ma family, Yun Xiao and Lin Qingyu left Sanghu Village.
"Sir, do you want to ...... Let's go to Yanyun City and have a look?"
"Qingyu, do you know that Xuanshuang Sword Sect?"
"I also belong to sword cultivation, and I also know a little bit about it. Lin Qingyu nodded, frowned, and said, "The Xuanshuang Sect is in the manor thirty miles north of Yanyun City, and it is actually within the sphere of influence of Yanyun City, how could it be subjected to such a catastrophe?"
"Within the confines of Yanyun City, the Xuanshuang Sword Sect is so small, isn't it a Sword Sect?"
"It's been a big sect for hundreds of years, but now it's also down, and now there are probably less than a thousand disciples, in fact, it can only be regarded as the Xuanshuang Sect, but they haven't changed the name of the Xuanshuang Sword Sect to a door. ”
"I see. ”
There are rules for the size of the sect's power and the name of the sect.
The lowest of the cultivation forces or sects is the "Tang", such as the Lotus Root Hall, the Frost Cloud Hall, the Liuhe Hall, etc.
The heads of the church-level sects have a certain reputation and popularity among the people, so they can recruit disciples. Generally, the number of formal disciples in a hall is about 100, of course, the number of personal disciples is only less than 10 people, and the people who can really practice are actually only about these ten people. Other disciples can often only be regarded as apprentices, and although they have practice, they can only be said to be preparatory monks, and they cannot be regarded as true cultivators.
In ancient times, monks were separated from the world, and it was not recognized that they would recruit disciples from the world. And since the invasion of the alien race, the monastic world has begun to slowly merge with the secular world, opening the door to ordinary laypeople. The "hall" level sect is that door.
The master of the church-level sect is generally cultivated in the Ning Yuan period. Even some small halls only start to teach disciples at the realm of the contemplation level or even the Ming Qi level, which is only a little stronger than the secular martial arts hall. Such a hall only recruits some monks in reserve, but in fact, it is not a real "sect".
Therefore, to be precise, a cultivator must reach the level of a "sect" before it can be called a "sect". Generally, when the larger sects and gangs expand their power, they choose to go to other places to "set up another church". Therefore, the general "hall" is often just a "branch" or "subsidiary" of the gate faction, which is used to absorb talents or serve as a talent reserve. Therefore, those who are really qualified to be regarded as "sects" should actually start from "doors".
"Gate" is the relatively largest number of cultivation forces, such as the Swallow Gate, the Sanxing Gate, the Tianyuan Gate, and this small sword sect called the "Xuanshuang Sword Sect" but the actual power has long since declined into a gate-level small sword sect. The hall generally only belongs to the "faction" or "sect" of the subordination, and the door is often the disciple of the master sent by the gate or the cultivation of the successful loose cultivation is established little by little, as the so-called rather than the head of the chicken rather than the cow, many monks with their own ambitions or ambitions in their hearts, they have created one "door" after another.
And some sects not only teach apprentices, but also a group of like-minded companions to establish a force together, such a force is the "gang", in terms of the size of the force, "hui" and "door" are equal, and "gang" and "faction" are close.
The power of the sect level is spread all over the land of Shenzhou, and in a "gate", there are often hundreds or thousands of disciples, and a "guild" is almost hundreds or thousands of helpers. The power is often spread over a small and medium-sized city, and even becomes the most powerful private power in the city, and even the lord of the city is subject to it. Of course, having a thousand disciples does not mean having a thousand monks. Generally speaking, out of a thousand disciples, a hundred beginner monks are already very high-quality and powerful sects. If there are 1,000 members in a normal gang, the number of monks is far less than that of the orthodox sect. The "meeting" of the force of a thousand people, the monks are only sixty or seventy at most.
The "master" of the sect or the "president" of the gang must at least reach the level of knot and have the title of "real person". Of course, after the strength of the general door master reaches the peak of the Jindan period, he will also strive to expand the sect, from the "door" to the "faction", and from the "will" to the "gang".
And when the strength of the head of the sect reaches the peak of Jindan, and his power expands to a country, and the disciples help more than 10,000 people, they can be called "gangs".
The "gang" and "faction" level forces are powerful beings that can influence a small and medium-sized country, or even secretly manipulate a small country.
Although the Xuanshuang Sword Sect is called the Sword Sect, in terms of its current scale, it should actually only be regarded as a "gate", not a faction. The reason why it is still named as a faction is only because the Xuanshuang Sword Sect was a sect with "gang" level strength hundreds of years ago, and it has always refused to change its words, hoping to restore its original glory one day. In contrast, the Lin family is much more sincere, since there are only a few relatives left, don't talk about "Qionghua Sect", just change it to "Qionghua Villa" in a low-key manner, and don't even count "Tang".
The greater forces than the "gangs" are the "sects" and "religions".
However, the sphere of influence of the "religious" level Xiuzhen forces often spans several countries, and the sphere of influence is divided by the plate distribution of the continents. The core disciples of its inner sect range from as few as 10,000 to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. If you count the distribution, hall and outer disciples, registered disciples, etc., you can even have millions or even tens of millions of manpower reserves. Even if there are less than one percent of these people who are truly beginner monks and only one in ten thousand who are high-level monks, that is terrifying enough.
The sect-level sect stomps its feet, and even the big countries have to tremble.
If you want to call it a "sect" or "teaching", at the very least, the cultivation of the head of the sect must at least reach the cave void period, even if it is a primordial infant, it is still not enough, because it is easy to die after all, and once you advance to the cave void, you can leave the body of the primordial spirit, which is equivalent to a near-immortal body. Only those who are immortal are qualified to serve as the sect master or sect leader. If a Cave Void Rank Cultivator puts down his face, he can use his clone projection to invade the enemy without limitation, even if it is a clone, he can easily crush all the enemies under the Yuan Infant. It's like a nuclear weapon in the cultivation realm. Only with nuclear weapons can we qualify as an existence that affects the situation in the world.
In terms of the structure of strength, a "faction" may still be limited by the power of the state, and after reaching the point of "sect", even the emperors and kings in its sphere of influence often have to look up to it, and even determine the power of a certain country in a word.
Although Wang Wanshi's maiden family, the Wang family, is a family business, it is actually a "sect". Although there are four countries in the East China Sea, all of them are influenced by the royal family. Of course, in terms of true power, although the Wang family can also be regarded as a sect, it belongs to the relatively weak sect in the sect, and it can't even be regarded as a grade compared to the most powerful Ten Thousand Swords Sect in the Northern Land.
And the current Northland is really a sect, probably only the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect", "Water Cloud Palace" and the "Treasure Pavilion" that is not completely based on the Northland as its sphere of influence. And among the three, the power of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is the largest. It can even be said that in the Northland, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is the real emperor.
