Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

"My descendant, Hou Yuduan of the Hou family in Zhaoyang, pays homage to Master Buyu. This time, thanks to the help of Master, I escaped from death. I am extremely grateful to you!"

"Hong Dao helped Qin Kai, thank you master."

"Xiyun Escort Liu Jianghe, thank you master!"

"Bai Shi Bai Dongyu, thank you Master."

Hou Yuduan only dared to complain in his heart. The strength that the burly monk had just shown was a level higher than that of Shen Xiao. Even the demon who caused trouble in Songyang Town was frightened away by him. A master at the master level.

As soon as he stepped forward to express his thanks, Bai Dongyu and the others quickly followed suit. They saluted the monk respectfully and introduced themselves to the monks. Their words were full of gratitude.

The silent monk took out his golden Zen staff from the ground, waved slightly to the four people and said nonchalantly: "You're welcome, the poor monk happened to pass by, that's fate, it's a pity that the Tomb of Resentful Spirits escaped, otherwise it would be a blessing. pieces.”

Tomb of Resentful Spirits, when the four of them heard these three words, curiosity suddenly appeared in their eyes.

Seeing the doubts of the four people, he explained without saying a word: "There are thousands of monsters in the world, and this Tomb of Resentful Spirits is one of them.

Generally, if too many creatures die tragically in the same place at the same time, and the resentful spirits gather together, this kind of monster will be formed.

This kind of monster is named after the earth. It specializes in trapping warriors, deceiving and confusing warriors, and nourishing spirits with corpses. I haven't seen it in many years. I didn't expect to encounter one just after I arrived in Yongzhou. It's a pity that it ran away. !”

This is considered a great experience. When Hou Yuduan heard the last sentence, he suddenly looked curious and asked: "Master is not from Yongzhou. May I ask where he comes from?"

Only then did Buyu remember that he had not reported his family status yet, so he hurriedly replied: "Leiyin Temple, Xiling Road, Jizhou."

"Zen Holy Land, Leiyin Temple!"

The four of them almost exclaimed at the same time, and when they looked at the silent eyes again, they became a little more respectful than before.

People say that the third rate cannot leave the county, the second rate suppresses the county magnates, and the first rate town government platform. The influence of prefecture-level forces radiates to several surrounding prefectures. Only the heaven-level forces can suppress one. Without saying a word, he declares his home to Leiyin Temple, and the front is crowned. The meaning of the name Xilingdao is already obvious.

In the thirteen states of the world, apart from the ten holy places, there are only twenty-one heaven-level forces left in total. The reputation of these twenty-one states is actually not much weaker than that of the holy places. Therefore, the name of Leiyin Temple is , Hou Yuduan and all four of them have heard of it, more than once.

Leiyin Temple is not only a powerful heaven-level sect, but it is also the birthplace of Zen Buddhism in the world. It can be said that all Zen disciples yearn to go to Leiyin Temple to practice Zen and chant Buddha. With this influence, Leiyin Temple The temple is vaguely known as the eleventh holy place.

However, unlike others, when Hou Yuduan heard the word Jizhou, his pupils suddenly flashed with a cold light. After hiding it well, he asked: "Is the distance between Jizhou hundreds of thousands of miles away?" Yao, Master is here alone, does he have something important to do? If you need help, just ask, as long as Hou can do it, I will never refuse!"

To the east of Yongzhou is Xuzhou, to the north of Xuzhou is Qingzhou, and further north is Jiaozhou. After Jiaozhou, it is Jizhou. After calculation, Jizhou and Yongzhou are separated by three states, and the distance is conservatively estimated to be more than 200,000 miles. , this silent monk can really walk!

Buyu took off the long sword hidden in the sheath on his back, tied the Zen staff and the long sword together, put them on his back, nodded and chuckled: "There is indeed something to do, but you can't help me.

.”

After saying that, the silent monk glanced at Hou Yuduan with a half-smile, obviously seeing Hou Yuduan's intention to find out his purpose.

Hou Yuduan's expression did not change at all. He did have the intention to find out the other party's purpose, but he also sincerely wanted to help. Since the other party was tight-lipped and unwilling to talk, naturally he would not force it.

"Master, if you don't mind it, come with us to the county seat. How about we show our gratitude to you as landlords at the same time?"

When Master Buyu heard Hou Yuduan's words, he obviously changed his expression, but he seemed to have thought of something again, and shook his head and said: "The poor monk was going to Tongling County, but there are other things to do, and they have to wait until they are finished.

Go again!”

"This...then I will just wait for the master to arrive."

The silent monk nodded without saying a word. He carried his Zen staff and long sword and left directly towards the south. The four of them stared at his back for a long time until he completely disappeared before they came back to their senses.

"Monk Wuyu from Leiyin Temple, I remembered that he seems to be a master on the Dragon List of the Righteous Path. He should be ranked over a hundred!" Qin Kai slapped his thigh fiercely and suddenly opened his mouth and exclaimed at the three of them.

Bai Dongyu's pupils slightly condensed upon hearing this, and he whispered: "Master of the Dragon Ranking, so to speak, his lowest level of cultivation is the Grand Master who has broken through the Dique Divine Cave."

The three rankings of Zhengdao Tian, ​​Dragon and Tiger include respectively the 100 strongest people above the Grandmaster realm, the 300 strongest people at the Grandmaster realm, and the 500 strongest people below the Grandmaster realm. Anyone who can be on the Dragon Ranking must be at least one of the four realms.

The state of the master.

"That's Leiyin Temple in Jizhou. It's thousands of miles away from Tongling County. Why did Monk Fuyu come to our place? Do you think it has something to do with the recent demon?"

Liu Jianghe sighed suddenly, and Hou Yuduan suddenly showed a thoughtful look on his face, saying: "We can't rule out this possibility. When he just killed those evil spirits, he looked really excited.

If I remember correctly, there were quite a lot of capable people and strangers in the Demon Suppression Department of the previous dynasty, including Zen disciples, and it is rumored that many of them practiced by slaying demons."

Hou Yuduan's words made the three of them nod in agreement.

"Okay, this night is considered safe. Let's go back to the county town to report to Ding Dian. If we go late, Shen Xiao may not be able to arrange for us in the county town!"

When the three of them heard this, they thought of Shen Xiao, and a look of anger appeared on their faces. Apparently, the bastard thing Shen Xiao did last night particularly impressed them.

The four of them discussed for a while and prepared to leave, but Hou Yuduan glanced in the direction where the silent monk left, revealing a hint of thought.

He just didn't finish what he said. Maybe Monk Wuyu came here because of the demon, but the reason was definitely not just this. Otherwise, he could have told the four of them directly and saved the four of them from being suspicious.

How did Monk Buyu, who was far away in Jizhou, know about the demons appearing in such a small place as Tongling County? Either someone wanted him to come and deliberately notified him, or he was originally going to come to Tongling County.

The monk just said without saying anything that he was coming to Tongling for business...

What can the monks from Leiyin Temple in Jizhou do when they come to Yongzhou?

Hou Yuduan thought hard for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He just paid attention to the matter in his mind.

…………

The first day of June in the year 1322 of the New Yu Calendar

A piece of news spread like wildfire in the county.

Twenty masters of the Gangqi realm and above sent out by the warden went out for the first time last night to detect traces of demons. As a result, in the morning, only Shen Xiao from Daluo Sect came back, and the other nineteen people were all dead...

The county town, which was already panic-stricken because of the demon incident, was instantly enveloped in a wave of fear. A large number of people packed up their belongings and prepared to leave the county town and flee to other places.

As luck would have it, at this moment, the County Cheng Mansion issued a notice stating that from today until the Rakshasa Festival next month, no road guides will be issued, and no one, including the Da Luo Sect, will be issued private road guides. lead.

This means that no one can leave the county before the Rakshasa Festival...

Fan Longhe's order suddenly made the people in the city confused. You said you can't deal with this monster, so why are you not allowing anyone to escape?

For a time, the people in the county and city were filled with resentment. If Fan Longhe had not immediately come forward to explain an hour after issuing the order, I am afraid that the warriors among the people would unite to rebel...

"There are three official routes to escape from Tongling County. They go to Yinling, Jinling, and Zaoyang Counties respectively. Experts from the Fucheng Warden Department have confirmed that the three official routes are blocked by demons. It is the weaker warriors who have gone They all have a narrow escape from death. If ordinary people go there in large numbers, they will only become the demon's rations."

Fan Longhe's explanation did win the people's understanding, but at the same time, it also caused a more depressing atmosphere to permeate the city...

In March before that, those demons began to block the official roads within the county. Now they have even blocked the official roads out of the county. What are these demons going to do?

Fan Longhe, Ding Dian, and Ding Buhai were sitting together in the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Their faces were solemn. After watching Shen Xiao leave the hall, Ding Buhai slowly spoke out.

"More than 70,000 people were massacred in Songyang Town, and all official roads inside and outside the country were blocked. My two lords, I don't need Ding to tell you what this monster is going to do!"

After Ding Buhe finished speaking, without waiting for a reply from the two of them, he looked up and saw Fan Longhe with an ugly expression, while Ding Dian looked as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and a hint of gloom suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"The sheep demon that broke into the city was presumably a subordinate who was looking for blood food for the blood demon to heal his injuries. One of his subordinates was a seventh-level demon. The blood demon is now at least as powerful as a sixth-level demon.

If he really waits until he recovers to the fifth level, not a single one of the more than two million people in Tongling County will be left alive!

The Blood Demon tragedy in the last years of Emperor Wuzong's reign, don't you two want it to happen again?"

"It's a lot of nonsense. If you have a way, just say it. If there's no other way, just put your tail between your legs and get the hell out of yourself. Isn't your Daluo Sect so powerful? You should have the confidence to run away with your disciples..."

At this moment, Ding Dian suddenly said something coldly, which instantly made Ding Buyu's blood surge up. If he wasn't afraid of his strength, he would probably have to compete with him on the spot.

If Tongling County fell, and the people in the city were really slaughtered by demons, the people who would suffer the most would not be Ding Dian or Fan Longhe, but the Daluo Sect, or to be precise, the nine major inflow forces in their country.

It is not that simple to take root in a place. The Daluo Sect has taken root in Tongling County for nearly a thousand years, and it was only a hundred years ago that it was promoted to the second rate. Its sect's industry, resources, relationships, and connections are all

It has already penetrated deep into the soil of Tongling County.

If they really want to run away, they have given up too many things, so much that as long as there is a chance of survival, Ding Buhai must keep this place.

Ding Dian was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously. He knew that Daluo Sect was the party that least wanted to evacuate, but he deliberately said these sarcastic words. Naturally, Ding Buhuang was filled with rage.

After waiting for more than ten breaths, Ding Buhao calmed down the anger in his heart. He no longer looked at Ding Dian, but turned his gaze to Fan Longhe.

"Lord Fan, please speak frankly. How long will it take for Master Fanyin to arrive? In addition, whether the Holy Cult General Altar will send experts down. The blood demon incident has been learned from past experience. It is a serious matter. If you can't solve it, Ding Mou can say ugly things.

Up front, if you don't give me the letter of approval, in order to protect the people of this city and the sect's foundation, our sect will have no choice but to seek other foreign aid..."

When Fan Longhe and Ding Dian heard this, their pupils suddenly froze and they stared at Ding Buhai for more than ten breaths. Fan Longhe spoke first.

"Don't worry, the Holy Church General Altar has already known about this. I heard that they are discussing which master to send down. Master Fanyin just wants to be absolutely sure, so he is waiting for the masters from the General Altar. After the Rakshasa Festival, they will come together!

"

Fan Longhe's tone softened slightly, which made Ding Buyu's face look better. Ding Dian next to him still had the same attitude, but he did not refute Fan Longhe and cooperated with him for the first time.

In the final analysis, the relationship between them and Ding Buhai is similar to that between an official and a country squire. The strength of both parties is on the same level and they rely on each other.

The bottom line for both parties is the same.

Ding Buhai's foundation was all here. He didn't want Tongling County to be massacred, let alone the Daluo Sect to start over in another place.

The same goes for them. If Tongling County is really massacred by demons, they who are descendants of the Holy Sect will not be able to escape for a lifetime, and the masters of the general altar will not let them go.

Ding Buhai received Fan Longhe's guarantee, and his tone became softer. He remembered the news that his elder Shen Xiao had just brought back, and spoke to the two of them.

"The massacre of Songyang Town proves that the blood demon's healing may have reached a critical stage, not only for warriors, but also for mortals, and its appetite may be even greater!"

"Baiye, Yulin, Zhaoyang..."

Fan Longhe nodded, spoke in a low tone, and only said three place names. He turned to look at Ding Dian and said with a faint look: "Ding Sicheng, this investigation must not be left behind, otherwise when Master Fanyin arrives, we will

I keep asking questions and there is no news, so there is no guarantee that he will not be blamed!"

It was Ding Busha who looked ugly just now, but now it was Ding Dian's turn. Hearing Fan Longhe's words, he was filled with anger, and his chest immediately heaved twice.

Although all nine families of the nineteen people who died this time were accounted for, in the final analysis it was the warden who suffered the greatest loss.

To put it bluntly, this was caused by Ding Dian's misstep. He originally thought that the areas around the county where demons were most active were the most dangerous, but he did not expect that the three teams that explored the wilderness in the other three counties were all wiped out.

But Ding Dian naturally would not think about his own problems, but put all the blame on Fan Longhe. So at this moment, Fan Longhe dared to go out to investigate. He suddenly felt anxious, but he was not so easy to target. He thought of countermeasures in the blink of an eye.

He opened his mouth and responded.

"Master Fan means that Daluo Sect and the other eight families still intend to send people to our warden department. However, our warden department has no one available now. If we still want people to go out of the city to investigate this time,

I'm afraid that the people from the County and Cheng Mansion will also take action..."

The expressions of Fan Longhe and Ding Buhui both changed, and they were unable to speak for a long time. It was Ding Buhui who broke the deadlock first.

"Even our sect elder Shen Xiao almost didn't come back this time. He is only half a master, which shows that it is useless to send more masters in the Gang Qi realm. Next, we will show our true strength.

I suggest that this time we, the three of us, send out six master-level masters. Not only will this be much safer, but when Master Fanyin comes, we can also have an explanation to the superiors, how about that?"

Fan Longhe and Ding Dian were relieved. They nodded at the same time and agreed to Ding Buhai's proposal...
