Chapter 156: Eight Factions
"Yan Guo is close to the Great Song Kingdom, and I can get a lot of useful things from there, not to mention, the trade between the two sides alone every year can bring huge profits to Liuyan Zhai, and the trade that flows to our side is only a part of the missing from between people's teeth. With enough spirit stones, the pills and magic weapons needed for cultivation are not a problem. ”
"In this way, isn't it true that the more spirit stones there are, the more powerful they are?" Liang Yingying asked curiously.
"That's true. Zhang Zhong sighed, "Although the monks emphasize purity of heart and few desires, when the scale reaches one country and one faction, the spirit stone becomes particularly important. But this is a digression, among the eight major sects, Liuyanzhai is the strongest, but we are not weak, if the strength really wants to be carefully ranked, it should be in the second and third, and the Diqing Palace is between the best. But this Qing Palace is not quite the right way with us, there were some contradictions in the early years, although they were all solved later, but some of the remaining problems are not so easy to finish. The Diqing Palace and the Sushan faction are close, and in this respect, there is some convergence with our interests. ”
"And the Mingkong Sect, although it is in the same country as my Diancang, but it has no good intentions for me Diancang, of course, this is a matter at the level of the big head of the inner gate above, for us, the other party's monk is naturally still a credible Taoist friend. ”
Liang Yingying counted with her fingers, and said curiously: "Then what about Tiantuo Temple and Huanglong Temple?"
"Tiantuo Temple......" Zhang Zhong repeated, and couldn't help sneering, "The legendary Buddhist monks are all Taoist monks who have compassion and purify all sentient beings, but Tiantuo Temple ...... Hey, there are some things that are even worse than some cults, although now everyone is in the alliance of the eight major sects, but in the future, when you meet the monks of Tiantuo Temple, you have to pay more attention, these people, full of compassion, really have a black hand, and they are more decisive and ruthless than the people of the evil way. This sect is friendly with the Yellow Dragon Palace, and it also has dealings with Liuyanzhai. As for the Yellow Dragon Palace, hundreds of years ago occupied a rich spiritual stone deposit, the sect quickly revitalized and rose, and became the strongest of the eight major sects in just a few decades, but then due to the rapid consumption of mineral deposits, the momentum of the development of the Yellow Dragon Hall was blocked, and the strength fell again, and now the strength is about four or five, but the Yellow Dragon Hall remembers the glory of the past, and always wants to return to the peak, but unfortunately the door is a little incompetent, so many years, the sect not only has not grown, but has become more and more regressive. Not to mention anything else, just by looking at the friendship between the Yellow Dragon Hall and the Tiantuo Temple, you know what kind of sect it is. ”
"As for the Songming Sword Sect, which is always ranked last, it is the only pure sword cultivation sect among the eight major sects, and the sword cultivation is difficult to cultivate, so the number of people in the sect has always been small, and the Songming Sword Sect is basically the last in the previous strength rankings. However, no one dared to underestimate this sect. About four or five hundred years ago, when the Sushan faction was not one of the eight major sects, there was a Fengshan faction that was not weak, and it was also ranked high among the eight major factions, and the people of the Fengshan faction looked at the Songming Sword Sect unpleasantly, and provoked several times, and several contradictions broke out between the two sides, and later the contradictions escalated, and more than a dozen disciples of the Songming Sword Sect were killed. This finally provoked the anger of the Songming Sword Sect, and hundreds of sword cultivators came to the Fengshan Sect...... Tsk, that's really ......" Zhang Zhong said, revealing a look of fascination, "At that time, the Fengshan Sect was one of the eight major sects after all, and after several large-scale conflicts, it was not destroyed, but its strength plummeted, and since then, no sect dares to underestimate the Songming Sword Sect...... Jian Xiu started a fire, which was terrifying. ”
"The relationship between the eight major factions is complicated, and it can't be said in a day, but some things in the past year since the revival of the Black Evil Sect can reflect some aspects of this. ”
Chen Zhuoyun showed a thoughtful look, "Zhang Zhong, are you referring to the division of the Eight Great Sects of the Black Demon Sect?"
"Huh?" Zhang Zhong showed an approving look, "Actually, it is not difficult to see this matter, but those who stand tall sometimes blinded their eyes for the sake of profit, but often turn a blind eye to some simple things. Just like now that the Black Evil Sect has resurged, it will immediately target the Sushan Sect and the Songming Sword Sect, and the oppression of other sects will often be more passive. Presumably, we all have the illusion that since the revival of the Black Evil Sect, although it is menacing, it is already too far behind compared to the power of the past. ”
Everyone nodded, and Zhang Zhong shook his head, " In fact, it is the opposite, people thought that the Black Evil Sect had been destroyed, but it turned out that it was not destroyed at all, but it was prepared for more than ten years, until it has risen now, and none of the Eight Great Sects have been aware of it, which proves that the Black Evil Sect is prepared this time, compared to the last time, this time the Black Evil Sect's means are very clever, and the initial target is mainly aimed at the Songming Sword Sect and the Sushan Sect, I guess the Black Evil Sect is behind the scenes, there must be some means of distant friendship and close attack, just standing in our position, I don't see it very much. ”
Liang Yingying said, "Then how can we sit back and watch the Black Demon Sect deal with the Sushan Sect and the Songming Sword Sect?"
"We have a good relationship with the two sects, so naturally we don't want to, but the other sects are not easy to say. But ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Zhong's words changed and paused.
"But how?" Chen Zhuoyun asked.
"If someone can stir up conflicts between the Black Evil Sect and other sects, such as asking the people of the Black Evil Sect to kill a few important people in the Flame Sect......" Speaking of this, he shook his head again, "This is just thinking about it, in the final analysis, it is our own lack of strength." ”
Gu Tongchao, who had not spoken on the side, said thoughtfully at this time: "In this case, I will set up a bureau to bring in people from other sects to confront the people of the Black Evil Sect, as long as they die, the master and brother behind those people will definitely seek revenge from the Black Evil Sect, so that the contradictions between the two sides will gradually increase, and in the end, those sects will also be pulled into the water?"
"That's what I said, but ...... These sects of the Yellow Dragon Hall will not give you such an opportunity lightly. Zhang Zhongdao.
"Not necessarily, right?"
"More than ten years ago, the Eight Great Sects were actually scared, and this time the Black Evil Sect made a comeback, I don't know if it has become more powerful. People are selfish, and this is still the case after cultivating immortals. The Black Cult doesn't want to provoke them, and they don't want to provoke the Black Cult, unless the Black Cult touches their interests one day......"
"But by then it was too late. ”
"People are like this, there is no way. ”
There was silence in the courtyard for a while.
"What's your name?"
At this time, a person from outside the courtyard walked in and stood at the door looking at Zhang Zhong. If Su Han was here, he would recognize this person as Xie Qingyun from the previous Pingzhen Mine, and Li Meiqing's senior brother. Xie Qingyun heard that Su Han participated in the trial to Qingyang County, he was from the inner gate, and the trial had passed for a while, and he knew a little bit about some of the things behind this trial.
Unexpectedly, when he walked outside the door, he happened to hear Zhang Zhong talking in Su Han's small courtyard, he had already planned to leave when he heard Su Han's news, but at this time, he heard Zhang Zhong's analysis of the Eight Great Sects and the Black Demon Sect, although some things may not be so accurate, but as a Qi refining disciple of the outer sect, it is not easy to see and think of these things.
"Disciple Zhang Zhong, I have seen my uncle. ”
"Come with me. Xie Qingyun said lightly.
