Chapter 222: Secret Talk at the Peak
Chu State, swaggering to the top of the mountain.
This is the core of the headquarters of the Yellow Lotus Dao Sect, and the abundance of heaven and earth vitality is still superior to that of the Ancestor Hall of the Red Lotus Sect of the Yue Kingdom.
If an ordinary cultivator was lucky enough to reach this place, he would definitely race against time to cultivate, so as not to waste such a favorable environment.
However, the two people on the summit now have no such thoughts.
A pair of chessboards, two teas.
An old man and a young man, a man and a woman, the two are drinking tea and playing chess here.
Although the old man's face was old, his hair and beard were extremely black, and there was a faint flash of light on it. His eyes were blazing, and the whole person sat there in the depths of the mountain, exuding a majestic aura.
With a bang, the majestic old man made a mess of the chessboard in front of him, and then he smiled heartily: "Not coming, not coming." The old man is confused, so he will play chess with you, the holy daughter of the Snow Lotus Sect. ”
He shook his head and sighed: "The Snow Lotus Heart Sutra is counted all over the world, and it is worthy of its reputation, the old man is really asking for his own hardships." ”
"Why should Master Jiang be arrogant, Qiu Kun is just a little better than these strange tricks. Whether it's martial arts cultivation or open-minded strategy, it's far from the bottom of it!"
The woman who spoke wore a veil and had an ethereal aura all over her body. She spoke softly, not losing any momentum in front of the majestic old man.
The two people who are playing against each other here and now are characters who can make the whole Lingnan tremble by stomping their feet. Jiang Daolin, the head of the Yellow Lotus Dao, and Mu Qiukun, the saint of the Snow Lotus Sect!
The leaders of the two most powerful sects in the five sects of the Lotus Sect sat together, and it was naturally not as simple as drinking tea and playing chess.
Mu Qiukun chatted a few sentences and got to the point: "The five things of common prosperity...... I don't know what Master Jiang is thinking about?"
"This ......" Jiang Daolin showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and then sighed and said: "I, the Yellow Lotus Dao and the Red Lotus Sect, have been allies for many years, and I really don't want to come to this point. ”
"Whether it is between people or between forces, the giving is always mutual, and it is impossible for one party to take it forever. Mu Qiukun shook his head and said slowly.
"Huang Liandao has helped the Red Lotus Sect a lot over the years, and these things are obvious to all. But how did the other party reciprocate? They obviously had hole cards such as the Offering Hall, but even at the most critical moment when the Yellow Lotus Dao and the Lingnan Hundred Clans were fighting, they still stood by and watched. Sect Master Jiang didn't feel cold. ”
"The Red Lotus Sect has always been so lonely, and we have been used to it for a long time. Jiang Daolin said indifferently: "Besides, they are not without enemies, like the Black Yan Clan, the Shanyue Clan and many other Lingnan ethnic groups. If they hadn't restrained these guys, my Yellow Lotus Sect wouldn't have such a stable rear. ”
Mu Qiukun blinked, and said warmly: "Sect Master Jiang has a broad mind, so he can not be as knowledgeable as them. It's a pity that the Red Lotus Sect is lonely and indifferent, and its maverick behavior is almost well known in the Lingnan cultivation world. ”
"In normal times, it's not a big deal. However, now that the political situation of the great cadres is treacherous, it is no longer possible to reconcile the contradictions accumulated over a long period of time, and even greater changes are brewing. ”
"With Sect Master Jiang's vision, I'm afraid it's not difficult to see that this is a heaven-sent opportunity for my Lotus Five Sects to make a difference. Only when we cooperate with each other will we have the strength to take a piece of the pie and get into that starlit land. ”
"Qiu Kun also once kissed the Red Lotus Sect to show the benefits, but unfortunately the answer he got was...... What is the matter with me?"
Hearing this, Jiang Daolin couldn't help laughing and sighed: "They have always been like this. But this may not be Wen Jingru's girl's idea. It should be you who are rejected by the conservative forces of the Red Lotus Sect led by the Offering Hall. ”
At the mention of Red Lotus Sect Master Wen Jingru, Mu Qiukun's eyes flickered for a moment, and then continued: "No matter whose idea it is, it at least represents the will of their Red Lotus Sect. Their old-fashioned and stubborn thinking is almost unshakable. ”
"If they can be in a safe corner, so good. However, the Yue country where the Red Lotus Sect is located is in the east of my Wu country and north of your Chu country. We are on a critical path. No matter who wants to enter the Central Plains, the Yue country is a must-pass place. Sect Master Jiang thinks that if we borrow from the Red Lotus Sect, they will lend it to us?"
Jiang Daolin shook his head and sighed: "It's difficult! Let's not mention that there is a suspicion of using the Dao to defeat the False Dao, even if we pass normally, with the importance of the Red Lotus Sect to their sect's territory, I'm afraid we won't agree." ”
"That's it!" Mu Qiukun stroked his palm and said, "It's blocking our way, what is Master Jiang hesitating about?"
Jiang Daolin said with a solemn face: "The alliance between my sect and the Red Lotus Sect still exists, how can the old man be a treacherous person!"
Mu Qiukun said with some displeasure: "What does Master Jiang mean by this, are you saying that Qiukun is a villain who sow discord?"
"Don't say that you and the Red Lotus Sect, that is, if our five lotus sects were not in the same breath, there would be no bones left that were swallowed by the natives of Lingnan back then. Although there are occasional disputes between our five sects, so what, it is just an internal dispute. Even between brothers, disagreements are inevitable. But in the end, there has to be someone in charge!"
A cold light flashed in Jiang Daolin's eyes, making the temperature here a few points lower out of thin air: "What, you Snow Lotus Sect want to be this family and be the master of this family?"
The invisible pressure pressed on his body, but Mu Qiukun said as if nothing had happened: "How vast was the prestige of the Five-Colored Divine Sect back then, why was the world still taken away by the Great Cadres." Everyone knows that one of the most important reasons is the infighting in our Divine Sect. ”
"Now that we are still struggling in the land of Lingnan, we should consider how early it is to think about the internal strife, which will not make the relatives painful and the enemies happy. The Central Plains is vast, with magnificent mountains and rivers and countless resources. When we open up the situation in the Central Plains, there will naturally be enough space for us to play. Where do we need to be so flew?"
The Snow Lotus Holy Maiden paused for a moment and slowly spoke: "Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, there is no delay in our plan!"
"We are not plotting to kill the Dao Sect of the Red Lotus Sect again, we are just trying to help them get on the right path. ”
Jiang Daolin was silent, and after a long time, he sighed: "The old man still needs to think about this matter carefully." ”
Mu Qiukun's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of helplessness, this one had been thinking about it for more than a month.
She was about to say something more when she suddenly looked up at the northern sky.
It was broad daylight, but a star suddenly lit up, and then a beam of starlight fell from it and landed at an unknown location.
The Snow Lotus Holy Maiden's eyes flashed, and she secretly said in her heart: "The stars are now in the day, is there anyone who has achieved Tianjiao?"
"What is the Holy Maiden looking at?" Jiang Daolin looked at Mu Qiukun with a strange expression, and couldn't help but ask.
Mu Qiukun glanced at him, and she knew in her heart that such a vision as the white sun star appeared, except for the person who caused the vision, only the Sect Master and above could discover it. This Jiang boss is obviously not among them.
"Nothing?" she shook her head and said, "It's just that I suddenly felt something, and the change of Daqian is even closer." There is no time to lose. Master Jiang has to make a decision early. ”
"It's nature. Jiang Daolin smiled gently: "It's just that the matter is big, and Jiang doesn't dare to specialize, so he has to discuss it with the top level of the sect......
Hearing the other party's answer, Mu Qiukun began to say goodbye with great interest.
When he came down from the top of Zhaoyao Mountain, in Mu Qiukun's eyes, the phantom of the snow lotus kept flashing.
She's doing divination!
The divination technique of the Snow Lotus Heart Sutra is naturally stronger than Nie Fan's half-hung plum blossom easy counting, I don't know how many times, so Mu Qiukun's divination quickly came to fruition.
She suddenly paused and muttered to herself: "Strange, there is obviously a white sun and stars, and there should be a birth of Tianjiao." But why did the result of divination not appear in Xintianjiao? ”
"Could it be a false pride?"
"No, there must be demons when things are abnormal. Look at me and count ......."
So she sat cross-legged, and the Snow Lotus Heart Sutra was running to the limit, constantly deducing.
However, the result of the deduction was that she was greatly disappointed, and she still did not ......
It's just that she has grasped a hint of inspiration, and this matter may be closely related to her Snow Lotus Sect's big plan.
"No, there are variables, I have to figure this out. ”
So she hurried back to her residence, the guest room arranged for her by Huang Liandao.
In the end, she is one of the three giants of the Snow Lotus Sect, and her status is noble, so the Snow Lotus Sect arranges the most high-end guest rooms. It is almost equivalent to a large cave house, with all the facilities and everything.
As soon as Mu Qiukun returned to the guest room, her maid Fluttershy greeted her and asked, "Holy Maiden, how is it going today?"
"I'll talk about that later!" Mu Qiukun interrupted Fluttershy and said, "Help me prepare the altar immediately, I'm going to open the altar, it's one thing." ”
Although Fluttershy wonders what kind of big thing she is, she can actually work with the Holy Maiden to set up the altar. But she still quickly helped Mu Qiukun set up the hair altar.
At this time, Mu Qiukun also finished bathing and changing.
She solemnly came to the altar and began to follow the steps of the Snow Lotus Heart Sutra, step by step, she had to figure out why there was a vision of Tianjiao's birth in Lingnan, but there was no new Tianjiao.
The altar in the Snow Lotus Heart Sutra is not set up often because it is a double-edged sword.
This can certainly make Mu Qiukun's divination power increase dramatically, and calculate some unknown secrets. However, if the level of secrecy involved is too high, it may also cause a backlash to the diviner through the altar.
Just like now.
Mu Qiukun had just halfway through the calculation, and with a poof, a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. The ritual of the altar was also interrupted.
Fluttershy rushes to help.
The Holy Maiden of the Snow Lotus Sect, who was helped up by Fluttershy, sighed weakly: "I can't imagine that there have been so many accidents recently, I can't count the descendants of Maitreya, I can't count the whereabouts of Wen Jingru, I can't count the Red Lotus Sect's offerings, and I can't even count such a trivial matter as a promotion to Tianjiao?"
"The water in Lingnan is too deep, what is going on?"
In a hurry, the Snow Lotus Saintess couldn't help but vomit another mouthful of blood, and then she said to Fluttershy in an urgent tone, "Hurry, hurry up......"
"Go and get my quick-acting heart pill!"
