In the Heavens

Looking at the "Pillar of Heaven on Earth" and "Famous Mountains in the North", Li Mu has all kinds of tastes in front of him.

The plan could never keep up with the rapid changes, and it was agreed to sweep the Shanxi Demon Sect branch, but the Five Sacred Sword Sect had just started to move, and the Demon Sect fled in all directions.

It seems to be intimidated by the power of the Five Sacred Sword Sect, but it is actually a very clever way to deal with it.

The land of the Three Jins is so big, how can they be handed over with only two or three thousand soldiers from the Wuyue Sword Sect?

As a last resort, Li Mu had no choice but to recover Mount Heng first, and announced to Wulin that the Five Sacred Sword Sect had launched a strategic counter-offensive.

"Junior Sister Dingxian, haven't you found Master Lingqing and the others?"

Thinking about it, Li Mu finds it inconceivable that Hengshan has been taken back, and the fleeing Hengshan faction is still missing.

Even if they can't find their own people, relying on Hengshan's intelligence network to find the place where the remnants of the Demon Sect gather, let alone wipe them out.

Sometimes Li Mu even suspected that it was a mistake to bring these nuns into the Five Sacred Sword Sect. They should eat fast and chant Buddha instead of participating in disputes between rivers and lakes.

"Senior Brother Li, we have suffered a great loss from the demon sect's attack this time. All the intelligence networks in various places have been paralyzed, and even the contacts accumulated in the past are depleted.

so……"

There is no need to do it anymore, just Ding Xian's expression of about to cry, Li Mu knew that there must be no good news.

The most important thing for a sect of the rivers and lakes to gain a foothold in the local area and get the support of many aristocratic families is strength.

This wave of Hengshan faction was severely beaten by the Demon Sect, directly exposing their weakness to the world, and it is normal for the local big clan not to buy it.

They paid you a protection fee to protect your own safety, so as not to be harassed by people in the world. With the current strength of the Hengshan faction, it is obviously not able to bring a sense of security to everyone.

Without a sense of awe, it will be difficult to collect protection fees. If the Hengshan faction doesn't handle it well, I'm afraid the days to come will be difficult.

In a sense, it is also good news that "no one is alive, no corpse is seen", at least it proves that Mrs. Lingqing and the others are still alive.

If he was already dead, the Demon Cult would have already publicized such a record.

Li Mu comforted: "Junior Sister, don't worry, the Demon Cult has just retreated, and the teacher and the others may not have received the news. Maybe in a few days, they will return to Mount Heng.

Now let's discuss how to clear up the remnants of the Demon Cult!

It is rare to have such a good opportunity, we must uproot the evil cult thieves, lest there will be endless disasters in the future. "

Ding Xian nodded and said: "Yes, Senior Brother."

...

It was a discussion, but Li Mu was the one talking from the beginning to the end, and the others were just listening.

I don't know if it was intentional, or if they haven't adapted to their new roles yet, they still regard themselves as ordinary disciples and only know how to obey orders.

Life is alive, it is rare to be confused. As long as the goal is achieved, why care about what others think?

The main force of the Demon Cult is not in Shanxi, and even the original Shanxi sub-helm has taken away a large number of good players. It is not difficult to get them out and encircle them.

The Wuyue Sword Sect, together with the surviving orthodox people in Shanxi Wulin and the rebels, under Li Mu's deployment, launched a dragnet-style encirclement and suppression.

The method of tracing is very rough, directly asking for information from local aristocratic families. Don't be afraid that they won't cooperate, now Zhengdao has the upper hand.

Regardless of whether there was collusion with the Demon Cult before, if you don't understand the situation now, either the whole family will be "suddenly killed by the plague" or "the family will be wiped out by the Demon Cult's monsters".

As soon as they entered Shanxi, two families of Juren were killed and used to sacrifice the flag.

The civil and military officials rioted, not only because of Emperor Zhengde's monopoly to earn money, but also because of his domineering style of both good and evil, the civil officials were deeply worried.

In the face of those martial arts masters who "come without a trace, go without a trace", the civil servants have no sense of security at all. What's more, the emperor is still fueling the flames behind the scenes, which is even more unbearable.

...

In front of the gate of Yongle Palace, Li Mu, who was dressed in Taoist robes, said loudly, "Li Bumu from the Huashan School of Guangning has come to visit Master Xuanyuan."

The loud voice, as if endowed with special penetrating power, covered the entire Yongle Palace.

They were all forced out. After entering Mount Heng, Li Mu kept visiting the Taoist seniors. Whether it is a casual cultivator in the mountains or a grand temple of a famous family, he has left his footprints.

It's a pity that he, the well-known young master of Huashan Mountain and the leader of the Demon Elimination Alliance in the martial arts, has been rejected countless times when he came here.

This group of dead house dwellers who don't care about the world's major affairs and are devoted to hard work in search of longevity have never heard of him.

Li Mu also summed up his experience after being shut down a lot. Let the unceremonious ones be put behind, anyway, these senior hermits don't care.

The attire in front of him, as soon as he opened his mouth, he declared his family name, which is a sharp weapon to increase the success rate.

A person in the Jianghu seeks others to discuss the Tao, and he comes to discuss the Tao with fellow Taoists, and the treatment he receives is obviously very different.

Anyway, it's not considered cheating, he is indeed a descendant of Huashan sect, a genuine Taoist inheritance. Although he has not entered the door of Taoism, it does not affect him to come to ask for advice under the banner of Taoism.

Not long after, a young man dressed as a Taoist boy came over. He said "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable", and then said neither humble nor overbearing: "The Daoist is already waiting in Chongyang Palace, Li Daoyou, please follow me!"

Being born in a famous family is different. If it is not for the banner of Guangning Huashan School, I am afraid that even if it can be received, it will definitely not be in Chongyang Hall.

Looking at the dilapidated palace, Li Mu couldn't believe it. This is the hometown of Lu Zu, one of the three holy places of Quanzhen.

The inner courtyard that was supposed to be a garden has now become a vegetable field, and there are Taoist priests working not far away.

I learned from Daotong Tong that the Yongle Palace, the Holy Land of Quanzhen, now has only eight Taoist priests inside and out.

Looking at the picture, you can tell that they are all relying on their own efforts for a living, and the servants and handymen naturally don't even have to think about it.

Needless to say, the reason is that after Quanzhen was suppressed by the court, the dignitaries in the court stopped visiting.

However, I met a group of Taoist priests who "won't come to love, and won't come to pull them down".

Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and it is precisely because of the severe decline that Yongle Palace can stand alone in the battle between good and evil.

All the temples on Mount Hengshan that were prosperous in incense are now looted, and those who are unlucky are even wiped out.

There is really nothing to snatch from the clinkingly poor Taoist temple. People in the devil's religion are too lazy to come to the door, but they survived.

Looking at the old man dressed like an old farmer in front of him, Li Mu couldn't believe that this was the famous Xuanyuan Daoist.

However, seeing a lot of strange Taoist priests, Li Mu's adaptability has also improved, so he still stepped forward to salute and said:

"I've seen a real person!"

The old man chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you disappointed? Xuan Yuan is just an ordinary old man, not the extraterrestrial expert you are looking for."

"Senior is too humble. Senior can integrate practice into life, and he is not considered a master. Who in the world dares to be called a master?"

This is not Li Mu's bragging. Even if it is only the first time they meet, he can be sure that the old man in front of him has a high level of cultivation.

Everything else can lie, but martial arts can't fool anyone. If it weren't for everyone's internal energy coming from the same source, and with the help of the golden finger, Li Mu would hardly have sensed that he knew martial arts.

The world's master Li Mu has also seen a lot. Whether it's Dugu Qingyun from the Demon Sect, Abbot Yuan Cong from Shaolin, or Ning Qingyu and Feng Qingyang from Huashan, they can't do this step.

Master Xuan Yuan smiled and said: "Can I think that Fellow Daoist is boasting?

The old Taoist practiced hard for fifty years before he could barely achieve the subtleties. Fellow daoists are so young, they have already reached this step, it seems that my dao sect is going to produce another great person. "

Being misunderstood, Li Mu was a little bit dumbfounded. It is impossible to explain, he dare not reveal the secret of the jade plate.

One is achieved by external force, and the other is achieved by one's own comprehension. The gap between the two parties is definitely not a star.

But this is also a good thing. With one more person to ask for advice, it will be smoother to figure out the way forward.

"Dare to ask seniors, what is nuanced?"

"Tao follows nature!"

After finishing speaking, Master Xuanyuan pointed at the nearby vegetable field and continued to explain: "These are all natural, including you and me are also natural."

Li Mu was thoughtful, seemed to understand a little bit, but also didn't seem to understand anything.

The proposition that "Tao follows nature" is really too big. Everyone's comprehension is different, in the eyes of Master Xuan Yuan, everything in the world is natural.

It is a part of nature itself, so it is not surprising to be able to blend in with nature.

When the state of mind has reached this stage, the whole-hearted method in his hands will be really broken. If it wasn't for the limitation of the world, maybe the old Taoist in front of him had already stepped into the innate realm.

Even if he was stuck, he was the one who had gone the furthest in the realm of martial arts among all the people Li Mu had seen.

Thinking about it makes me drunk, the person with the highest level of martial arts is actually not a well-known master in the martial arts, nor is it a thug trained by the imperial court, but a little-known Taoist priest.

Of course, realm does not equal combat power. If there is a fight, Master Xuanyuan may not be the strongest, but his state of mind is the strongest.

Li Mu bowed cautiously and said, "Thank you, Daoist, for pointing out the maze!"

One sentence is true, but thousands of books are false.

Although this is not Li Mu's way, it is possible to attack from the side. Li Mu has a feeling that today's communication is very important to him.

Maybe it doesn't help my cultivation right now, but when my cultivation reaches a certain level, this is the most precious wealth.

Under the law of heaven, one peck and one drink.

Restricted by the decline of the world, the road to eternal life is broken. It is also because the road is broken that everyone can think carefully and pursue a breakthrough in the spiritual realm.

If it is true that in the world of immortals and gods, everyone is busy pursuing immortality and the power to destroy the world, but they will not be able to calm down and appreciate the nature of the world.

With a good start, the following discussion will be smoother.

With the intention of asking for advice, Li Mu brought up all kinds of messy questions, which made Master Xuanyuan doubt life.

If it wasn't for the high level of mental state cultivation, I'm afraid he couldn't help but chase people away. It's a pity that Li Mu didn't seem to notice it, and still felt good about himself.

Perhaps because he felt that it was not enough, Li Mu also brought in other Taoist priests, and the discussions were in full swing every day.

When the roads diverge, it is not uncommon to blow your nose and stare. The scene was so exciting that everyone in the Huashan School thought that the young head of their family was going to become a monk to practice Taoism.
