Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

Unknowingly, it was getting late, the moon was rising from the western mountains, and the cold light came across, hanging on the willow leaves not far away, and penetrated into the water, soaking in the deep green.

On the high platform, Zhu Lin stood still, covered in moonlight, like a statue of mutton-fat jade, flawless.

A girl in a red dress came over, swaying her skirt, very graceful. She stopped not far from Zhu Lin, her beautiful eyebrows raised, but she hesitated to speak.

Zhu Lin noticed it, turned around, with a pair of beautiful eyes shining behind the gauze, and said: "Junior sister Jing, what do you have to say?"

This girl in the red dress is a direct descendant of Zhu Lin, and she always talks about anything. But this time she still hesitated for a moment before she organized her words and said, "Where's Senior Brother Zhou?"

When Zhu Lin heard this, he understood what his junior sister meant. The other party was pointing out that he was too kind to his junior brother Zhou Luoyun.

Zhu Lin smiled, waved his hand slightly, and said in a relaxed tone: "I know what's going on."

"Little sister, I'm worrying too much."

The girl in the red dress smiled coquettishly. She looked at her senior sister's behavior towards Zhou Luoyun, and she seemed to be a little bit in love. Looking at it now, she thought too much.

Zhu Lin said nothing, turned around again, and looked in the direction where Zhou Luoyun disappeared. Inexplicable seal characters appeared in his beautiful eyes, like a bird falling to the ground, suddenly falling into the sky.

It was not for no reason that she supported Zhou Luoyun in his fight for the position of True Successor of Doumu Palace.

On the one hand, Zhou Luoyun is indeed the most outstanding male cultivator in Doumu Palace and is qualified to compete for the true disciple of Doumu Palace. Without this foundation, if the mud cannot support the wall, she will not help.

On the other hand, and the more important reason is that Zhou Luoyun is a direct descendant of the Hengnan Zhou family, and the branch behind him is powerful in the Hengnan Zhou family and has intricate connections.

Zhu Lin muttered silently in his heart, and in her beautiful eyes, countless seal characters rotated rapidly, faintly arranged to form a map worthy of the map. At the border of Doumu Palace, Laojun Temple and other sects, the clan of the Zhou family in Hengnan sprang up.

"Doumu Palace, Laojun Temple, Hengnan Zhou Family..."

Zhu Lin thought of the few words his master occasionally said, and couldn't help but take a step forward. He saw the moonlight right in front of him, and the cold light was shining on the trees, like clear snow on the branches. The wind rustled and there was a clear sound. On top of her jade face, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. , looks a little more ruthless.

She was planning for herself and planning the future, but at the same time, she was also pointing out a way for the Hengnan Zhou family.

Otherwise, when the situation gets out of hand in the future, even a millennium-old family like the Zhou family in Hengnan will not be able to withstand the enveloping trend and will definitely be severely damaged.

"Wait a moment."

Zhu Lin thought for a while, then lowered her eyelids. She sat down on the high platform again, facing the moonlight in the sky, and started running "Wangyou Tiannv Ce".

I didn't want to do much when I came to the Hengnan Zhou Family this time. I just wanted to make an impression on the senior officials of the Hengnan Zhou Family.

Once you have condensed the high-grade golden elixir, it will slowly accelerate and continue to penetrate. Once the baby is broken and becomes a real person, he will really take action to change the situation and achieve great merit for the sect.

More than ten miles away from Hualan Xiangshe, a wooden building has also been built. It is seven or eight feet above the ground. It has a wooden structure with no cover on the top and small windows with fine lines on all sides. When the wind blows, the peach blossoms fall like fans. The colorful fragrance enters the building, creating a sea of ​​fragrant flowers that soaks people's clothes.

Zhou Hongzhuang stood upstairs, wearing a palace skirt tied around her waist, and the orbs tied on her black silk stockings glowed with light, reflecting the texture of the mahogany under her feet into a warm jade color, with red and white blending together, with layered changes.

Zhou Mu was still wearing silver armor, and there was an orb hanging above the top door. It was golden in color, and it was shining down, making him feel like he was sitting in a divine wheel. There were sparse textures falling all around, and if There is nothing.

He looked at the peach blossoms flying outside for a while. Farther away, there were bamboo leaves as graceful and green as bamboo hats. He looked back and said, "Sister Hongzhuang, don't be too discouraged. After the sutra transmission and treasure presentation ceremony, the clan is still not satisfied." It’s much better for someone with few people to contact you than someone with few connections like me.”

After hearing the words, Zhou Hongzhuang turned her head and took a glance. This young man looked tall and mighty, but for some reason, he gave people a lazy feeling as soon as he opened his mouth, as if he was lying down at any time and was just getting by.

But Zhou Hongzhuang knew that this was all an illusion.

As far as she knew, her younger brother was practicing extremely hard in the Tianling Sect and had made great progress. His position as the True Inheritor was almost guaranteed.

Even if the Tianling Sect is in decline, it is still one of the Zhongxuanmen, and its power far exceeds that of the Lower Xuanmen. The true disciples of the Tianling Sect are very impressive when walking outside.

Zhou Hongzhuang hid her thoughts and spoke, "In the final analysis, our status is still not enough. The higher-ups in the clan don't take us seriously yet."

When she spoke, her tone sounded upright, without any hint of desolation, and she didn't look worried.

What Zhou Hongzhuang fears most is that the invincible attitude of Zhou Luoyun, Zhu Lin, and others to the Xuanmen Palace with Doumu Palace, coupled with Zhou Luoyun's powerful support in the clan, has attracted most of the upper echelons of the sect to lean towards them, so without her and room for others to perform.

At the clan's recent meeting to pass on sutras and deliver treasures, although Zhou Qing was in the limelight and dazzling, at the same time, it also dealt a severe blow to the momentum of Doumu Gong and his group, making Doumu Gong not as pushy as expected. everything.

As for Zhou Qing, Zhou Hongzhuang was wary, but definitely not as frightened as he was to Doumu Palace. The reason is very simple. The Zhenyi Sect has basically no power in this area. Not to mention compared to Doumu Palace, it is far inferior to the Laojun Temple where she is, and even the Tianling Sect where Zhou Mu is.

Without the close support of the sect, no matter how powerful Zhou Qing is, he can't affect the overall situation of the Hengnan Zhou family.

Zhou Hongzhuang turned her mind and thought that what she had to do was to return to Laojun Temple and get the true teaching as quickly as possible.

Although Zhou Luoyun entered Doumu Palace, he was an inner disciple of Shangxuan Sect, which was inferior to her future identity as a true disciple of Laojun Temple of Zhongxuan Sect.

Zhou Hongzhuang's eyes were cold. As long as Zhou Luoyun could not be promoted to the true teaching, he would not have much advantage over her.

"The true teaching of Doumu Palace."

Zhou Hongzhuang's hands moved subconsciously. As a male cultivator, it was extremely difficult for Zhou Luoyun to get the true teaching of Doumu Palace. It would be great if she could "help" him again.

But the Shangxuan Sect like Doumu Palace was not something she could reach out to.

At this moment, a light whistle was heard, and then a brilliant golden light penetrated the sky and came to the front of the building in an instant, and then it shook gently, and a thin halo appeared, with a sharp aura inside, penetrating the body.

The golden light reached the front of the building and lingered. As time went by, more and more halos emerged, gathering more and more, with form but no substance, constantly colliding.

Zhou Mu couldn't help but squint his eyes at a glance, because he felt that kind of cold and murderous intention directly pierced his eyelids, making a crackling sound.

In a trance, all he saw was the aura of Gengjin, and the whole scene was white.

"Zhou Qing's "Spiritual Life Gold Book"."

Zhou Mu blurted out immediately. He had a close contact with Zhou Qing and Zhu Lin's battle at the Sutra and Treasure Sending Meeting that day. Zhou Qing's mysterious skills were sharp, exactly the same as the golden light in front of him.

Zhou Hongzhuang raised her eyebrows, waved her hand, and took the golden light into her palm. It turned out to be a flying letter. After reading it, she nodded to Zhou Mu and said, "It's Zhou Qing. He said he would come to visit later."

"He came to visit?" Zhou Mu was slightly surprised and a little surprised. He smiled and said, "I'm a little flattered."

It must be said that although the three of them are of similar age, Zhou Qing is obviously one level stronger and has opened up a gap with the two of them.

Zhou Qing took the initiative to visit, which was considered to be a great honor for Zhou Hongzhuang.

"It is said that when you give a gift to someone, you must ask for something." Zhou Hongzhuang walked slowly around, the bright red on her skirt swaying, circles and circles, as restless as her mood, and said, "I really can't think of anything that can help."

"Let's take a look."

Zhou Mu became interested. He was going to leave, but after hearing this, he decided to stay a little longer.

With this, the two of them stopped talking and sat quietly upstairs.

It was quiet upstairs, with only the sound of peach blossoms flying in the wind.

Not long after, there was a rustling sound at the stairs, and the collision of clogs and stairs was heard. Then, a young man appeared. He was wearing the robes of the Zhenyi Sect, with clear eyes. Deep in his eyes, there was a faint excitement of gold and water.

The man was Zhou Qing. When he saw Zhou Hongzhuang and Zhou Mu, he remained calm and greeted them with a smile, saying, "You two are here."

"Meetings, Island Master Zhou."

Zhou Hongzhuang and Zhou Mu looked at each other. Choosing such a title not only showed respect, but also consciously distanced themselves from each other.

"You're welcome." Zhou Qing sat down naturally, as if he was the host. He signaled the two to relax and said, "I will leave the clan soon to find Yao Ningdan."

Zhou Hongzhuang couldn't figure out the other party's intention, so she could only say vaguely, "Then I wish Master Zhou all the best in advance."

"Before you leave, I have something to tell you." Zhou Qing looked at Zhou Hongzhuang and said in a low voice, "About you and the Laojun Temple behind you."

"Laojun Temple."

Zhou Hongzhuang was startled. She didn't expect to hear such words, and her eyes turned to Zhou Mu.

Zhou Mu originally wanted to join in the fun and see what it was like for a disciple of Zhenyi Sect like Zhou Qing to come to visit him personally, but now that she heard this, she had to stand up and said, "I have something to do when I go back, so you two can chat slowly."

When Zhou Mu left the wooden building, she couldn't even see his shadow. She retracted her gaze and looked at Zhou Qing, with a strange light flashing in her eyes, and said, "Master Zhou, how can you teach me?"

Zhou Qing sat steadily, accepting the sharpness in the conversation. He said, "Laojun Temple is enterprising and thriving. Even though I am far away in Zhenyi Sect, I have heard of it. In my opinion, your entry into Laojun Temple is no worse than entering Shangxuan Gate."

Zhou Hongzhuang said nothing, just listened, still puzzled.

Zhou Qing didn't care what the other party thought, and continued to speak, saying: "Hongzhuang, since you have entered Laojun Temple, you must take advantage of the rising posture of the sect, ride the wind and rise up." Zhou Hongzhuang raised her eyebrows. She was wearing a palace skirt, which made her face more beautiful, but not coquettish, with a kind of fiery fierceness. She said: "Can Island Master Zhou make it clear?" "I'm just talking about my observations and guesses." Zhou Qing laughed and said: "Laojun Temple is now the first in Zhongxuan Sect. As for Doumu Palace, it is not too far away. The two sides are really closer." "This," Zhou Hongzhuang noticed Zhou Qing's meaningful smile, and suddenly a previous thought emerged in her mind: Is her sect Laojun Temple going to compete with Doumu Palace? In the past, new disciples like her were all focused on cultivation and striving to improve their status in the sect. She couldn't think of or see the overall situation of the entire sect.

But now, after hearing Zhou Qing's words, there seemed to be a thunder in the sea of ​​consciousness, and a white light flashed. How does the upper Xuanmen like Doumu Palace view the Laojun Temple, which is constantly expanding its power and becoming more and more powerful?

What should I do if I am in the middle of the situation with such a relationship between the two sects? Zhou Hongzhuang was confused and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhou Qing looked at Zhou Hongzhuang, who was a little confused and at a loss, without any contempt or disdain.

Vision often depends on a person's strength and his status. If you stand too low, you can focus on your feet and can't see the four directions.

As for the affairs between the major sects of the Xuanmen, I am afraid that even the Yuanying Zhenren in the sect are also in the fog, and they have a guess, but they are not sure. What's more, Zhou Hongzhuang, who has just entered the door.

If it weren't for the memory of the previous life, Zhou Qing would not know that the rising momentum of Laojun Temple was beyond everyone's imagination, and the courage of the senior leaders of Laojun Temple was beyond Su Ren's imagination. The collision between Laojun Temple and Doumu Palace was also beyond people's imagination.

Although the situation between Laojun Temple and Doumu Palace seems calm on the surface, there must have been undercurrents.

Zhou Qing thought about the possible changes in the future and felt thrilling.

After a long time, Zhou Hongzhuang finally woke up from her shock. She straightened her expression and said to Zhou Qing solemnly, "Thank you for reminding me, Island Master Zhou."

This matter involves a lot, and Zhou Hongzhuang still doesn't know what will happen. But she knows that understanding such a general trend will be of great help to her in the sect or in her own work.

Understanding such a general situation will make things go smoothly and will not make directional mistakes.

"It's also a guess." Zhou Qing smiled again and said, "I'm just guessing, don't take it too seriously."

Zhou Hongzhuang looked at Zhou Qing again, and her eyes were different.

She knew that not to mention herself, even her fellow disciples, those brothers and sisters who were taught by the true teachings, probably didn't have such a vision.

As a disciple of Zhenyi Sect, Zhou Qing was so far away, but he was able to pay attention to the situation of Doumu Palace and Laojun Temple. Do all the true disciples of Shangxuan Sect have such a broad vision? Or is Zhou Qing extraordinary and outstanding among the true disciples?

Think about it again, with Zhou Qing's vision and knowledge, he left Zhenyi Sect and immediately returned to the Hengnan Zhou clan. Could it be that he really just wanted to see his relatives and recruit some people from the clan?
