Strange mountains and rivers

The feeling of returning to Bianjing is bitter and complicated.

Fortunately, there is still a companion - Lingyun Sect.

It was almost a few days after the battle with Baishimen that the Chonghua Sect gradually learned about the result of Lingyun Sect moving north to the north of the river.

Lingyun Sect silently accepted the reality without making any resistance or objection, which made people on the Chonghua Sect find it incredible.

Perhaps due to the pressure from the Jiulian Sect and Daogong, or because they felt that there was no chance of winning against the Zijin Sect without the support of the Jiulian Sect, in short, the Lingyun Sect accepted the arrangement of moving to the north calmly.

However, Lingyun Sect's acceptance of the northward migration in this manner also brought some sequelae, that is, many disciples left the sect directly.

Although the Lingyun Sect has never had a war, it has more than a hundred disciples from the Li sect. In the end, the number of more than 300 disciples dropped sharply to just over 190, which was even worse than the Chonghua sect.

Not many people chose the Zijin Sect, but more people chose the Baishimen, Huanzhen Dao, and the nearby Taiyuan Sect in Huai County. There were even a dozen disciples who took the initiative to join the Chonghua Sect.

He was unwilling to follow the Lingyun Sect to Hebei, but would rather join the Chonghua Sect to go to Hebei. This choice may be beyond the expectations of many people.

The Chonghua Sect did not immediately accept these disciples, but carefully inquired about their situation and thoughts. They also explained that the Chonghua Sect would also need to establish a foothold in Hebei in the future and asked them to think carefully.

But in the end, these disciples stayed and insisted on joining the Chonghua Sect.

According to the original principles, the Chonghua Sect would not accept the entry of such a group of disciples so easily, but extraordinary things were done in extraordinary circumstances. Both Shang Jiuling and Li Yu finally agreed to the entry of this group of Lingyun Sect disciples.

Looking at the towering Nanxun Gate in front of him, Chen Huaisheng stared at it intently for a while, carefully identifying the following large seal characters before looking away, "Let's go, senior brother."

From this moment on, Chen Huaisheng felt that he had a different understanding of this city.

Without strength, you are not even qualified to decide whether to fight or make peace. You can only listen to people discussing the life and death of hundreds of disciples of a sect in the hall, and let others decide who your thousand-year inheritance belongs to, no matter you Willing or not.

If he were a real person in Zifu, even if he was the only person in the sect, maybe the situation would be reversed.

Baishimen will have to consider whether they can secure Langshan and Panshan in the face of the crazy counterattacks of the three Zifus. Is the price they have to pay too high?

But there is never an if.

Although I returned to Beijing only ten days later, it felt like a lifetime ago.

The bustling and lively scene on the street was not affected in any way. Although the Taoist Association was affected to some extent, the subsequent sect competition was only briefly delayed for two days and then resumed.

The rain has passed and the Waking of Insects has not yet arrived. Farmers outside the city have begun to get busy, but it has no impact on the city.

Tomorrow is the 30th day of the first lunar month, which is also the last day of this Taoist competition.

Chen Huaisheng followed Wang Yao, Xu Tianfeng and Yuan Wenbo to Beijing.

Sect leader Shang Jiuling and chief elder Zhu Fengbi are still watching along the road to prevent attacks from Baishimen and other people with bad intentions, but this possibility is actually unlikely.

The Chonghua faction has already accepted the result of going to Hebei. If they want to kill them all, they will really drive Shang and Zhu crazy.

People are different and things are different.

The people are still the same, but the feeling has changed.

Chen Huaisheng came to Jiulian Sect with Wang Yao and Xu Tianfeng.

From the inside, Chen Huaisheng is very disgusted and resistant to Jiulian Sect.

In his opinion, Jiulian Sect betrayed Lingyun Sect and Chonghua Sect, or Jiulian Sect no longer has the strength to protect Lingyun Sect and Chonghua Sect but is still arrogant. The result is not only humiliating itself, but also letting others Lingyun Sect and Chonghua Sect paid a heavy price.

Of course, the greater responsibility lies with Lingyun Sect and Chonghua Sect themselves.

One is the lack of one's own strength and one cannot blame others.

The second is that they failed to see clearly that the Nine Lotus Sect was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. If the weakness of the Nine Lotus Sect could be discovered earlier, they should make timely adjustments and find another reliable ally to back them up.

"Who will see us from the Jiulian Sect today?" Chen Huaisheng, Wang Yao, and Xu Tianfeng were waiting for the person in charge of the Jiulian Sect to receive them. They couldn't help asking, "I really want to see how embarrassed these people are facing us. Not awkward.”

Wang Yao glared at Chen Huaisheng, "Huaisheng, it's not advisable to act on your own initiative. At least now and for a long time to come, we will still need their help. We just have to be ourselves."

Chen Huaisheng shrugged, "I understand, senior brother, I'm just a little unhappy. After going to Hebei, we still have to rely on them? What do I need them to do for me? Do I need them to prevent monsters and casual cultivators from attacking us?"

Wang Yao was speechless for a moment, and then said after thinking for a while: "I'm afraid they can't help us in Hebei, but we may continue to recruit disciples in Da Zhao every year. It will be difficult to recruit disciples in Langling, but we hope to recruit disciples in Jijun Hesui County can recruit disciples."

Jijun is the foundation of the Jiulian Sect, and the Jiulian Sect in Sui County also has great influence. Of course, there are also local sects in these counties, so if you want to recruit disciples in these two counties, you must get the consent and support of the Jiulian Sect.

Chen Huaisheng shook his head and did not agree with Wang Yao's point of view.

"Since we have gone to Hebei, and the population in Hebei is not small, we should base ourselves in Hebei and compete for these Taoist talents from the hands of casual cultivators and sect families..."

"Of course, being able to recruit disciples in Jijun and Suijun is also a channel, but I think it is difficult for us to compete with the Jiulian Sect and those local sects. We are separated by a river, and we are not the mainland of Zhao. We are almost exiled to Hebei. It’s difficult to get talented people from Jijun and Suijun to invest in us, so don’t have too much hope.”

"I think instead of focusing on places like Ji and Sui, we should make use of the connections of our existing disciples to continue to find talents in Langling and even Yijun. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises, especially in Yiyang Mansion. "

Wang Yao and Xu Tianfeng were both a little surprised by Chen Huaisheng's positive judgment, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was indeed the case.

Yiyang Mansion might be a good breakthrough.

Unlike the White Stone Sect, the Zijin Sect is a foreign sect from Southern Chu. If it wants to gain recognition in Yiyang Mansion, it will take ten or twenty years to truly integrate.

It can be seen from the group of disciples who previously transferred from Lingyun Sect to Chonghua Sect that these people are very dissatisfied with the weakness of Lingyun Sect, so with the help of the influence of these people and Chen Huaisheng, who is a disciple of Yiyang Prefecture, It's completely possible to dig around in Yiyang Mansion.

I stayed in the Jiulian Sect's reception room for nearly half an hour. Tea was served twice, but I still haven't seen the real master.

Wang Yao and the three of them are also very calm.

Maybe for the Jiulian Sect, exiling the Chonghua sect in Hebei doesn't mean much anymore. Maybe it's because the Jiulian sect itself is in trouble. Everyone knows that the Chonghua sect will have a difficult future, but for this former ally, the Chonghua sect is in trouble. But the Chinese faction had to rely on them.

But this humiliation is very uncomfortable.

Chen Huaisheng also deeply understood the feeling of being under someone else's roof. He laughed up to the sky and went out. I am a Penghao person. We all want to do this kind of thing, but we still can't do it now.

Guxuan Hebei will inevitably have to deal with Da Zhao Daogong in the future. It is better to have Jiulian Sect, a sect that is considered an acquaintance, and can speak in it, than no one cares about it.

A sound of footsteps came over, and finally came.

First one person walked in proudly, and then three people filed in.

Just a casual glance at the person walking at the front shocked everyone including Wang Yao. The entire Qi movement seemed to be disrupted and needed to be balanced before he could breathe normally.

The Immortal Lord of the Purple Mansion Realm, and probably more than the Yumui Realm, is more than one level higher than the headmaster and the chief.

One of the three people who followed him was an acquaintance, Yi Chuyang.

Chen Huaisheng knew from just one glance that Master Yi Xian had made progress compared to three years ago.

When we met in Tate County three years ago, he was only at the third level of foundation building, but now he should have crossed an important threshold, promoted to the fourth level of foundation building, and entered the middle stage of foundation building. No wonder he was so energetic and extraordinary.

Chen Huaisheng did not know the other two people. One was at the peak of Qi refining and the other was at the seventh level of Qi refining. It should be said that they were quite polite to the people of the Chonghua sect, especially for a Zifu Xianqing to come forward, which was extremely rare.

Seeing Chen Huaisheng, Yi Chuyang was also shocked. His eyes fell on Chen Huaisheng and wandered around for a few times, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, but in the end he suppressed the shock in his heart and regained his composure.

"Are these Chonghua disciples? I'm late, so I hope you'll bear with me."

The old man in purple shirt couldn't tell his age. He looked like he was forty or fifty years old, or seventy or eighty years old. But everyone knew that it was unlikely to be this age. It was more likely to be more than a hundred years old. But how old was he? It's hard to judge from appearance.

The three people headed by Wang Yao quickly bowed: "I have met senior."

Only then did Yi Chuyang introduce to Wang Yao, Chen Huaisheng and others: "This is Uncle Tan, the master of our Nine Lotus Zilian Sect."

Even if Yi Chuyang wants to be called master uncle, then he is really a senior. He should be at least one hundred and twenty years old.

It's just that there is no trace of aging in appearance at all, the skin on his face is like that of an ordinary middle-aged person, and his whole head is full of black hair, not even a single white hair can be seen.

The three of them also bowed again.

The old man in purple shirt didn't care, and waved his hand, indicating for the three of them to take a seat.

"Needless to say more about the situation. Both Jiuling and Fengbi have come to talk to me twice. Our Jiulian Sect did not do well this time. Although there are many factors, as allies of Lingyun Sect and Chonghua Sect, we , we, the Jiulian Sect, are also quite ashamed of not being able to help the two sects to the maximum extent. There are just some things that are unavoidable, and it is inconvenient to reveal them now. You will gradually know about them in the future. I won’t say much about other nonsense. Speaking of Hebei, if If there is anything else that needs the support of our Jiulian Sect, as long as we can do it, I, Tan Qianqiu, hereby clearly promise that we will fully support it..."

I didn't expect this person to speak so cleanly and neatly, without being sloppy. After saying a few words, he looked at Wang Yao and the others.

"If you have any needs now, you can ask them in person. If you haven't thought about it now, you can think about it in the next few days. I will be at home these days and can see you at any time."

Seeing that the three of them were hesitant, the old man in purple also knew that the matter was serious and he might not be able to make a sudden decision, so he nodded and said: "In that case, Chu Yang, you talk to them first, introduce the situation, and report anything. That’s all I can do.”

When the old man in purple shirt left together with the other peak Qi refining person, and only Yi Chuyang and another seventh level Qi refining person were left, the atmosphere relaxed a little.

Yi Chuyang did not get down to business first, but looked Chen Huaisheng up and down, his eyes filled with sighs and a bit of regret.

"Blame me for mistaking the dragon for a grass snake. Chen Huaisheng, I still have the impression that it has been three years. I never expected that you had not yet entered Taoism at that time. I heard Chi Mei mention that you were a member of the Chonghua Sect. Flying into the sky, I thought she was exaggerating, but I didn’t expect that your performance was beyond everyone’s expectations. Well, you must be at the sixth level of Qi refining, how did you do it?”

Logically speaking, it would be a bit rude to ask such a question, but Yi Chuyang really couldn't figure it out and was eager to ask clearly.

He had a very deep memory. When Yu Xianxian and Xuan Chimei recommended him to Lingyun Sect or Chonghua Sect, he had specially examined the other party's spiritual roots and Taoist bones. The Taoist bones were indeed very good. He had an impression, but his spiritual roots were average, even mediocre. He also had an impression.

Such a guy with mediocre talent advanced to the sixth level of Qi Refining in three years, and performed even better than the amazingly talented Xuan Chimei. You must know that this guy was about to turn 20 at that time, and he was purely an outcast, but he actually Here comes a salty fish who stands up and outdoes the rest.

Of course, Xuan Chimei is several years younger than the other party, so it is not impossible to catch up with the other party, but no matter how you say it, this is because you are mistaken.

Chen Huaisheng smiled lightly, "Master Yi is overrated. The sixth level of Qi Refining is also reluctant to do so. When he attacked the Xia Shiwan fishery, he fought against a foundation builder from Baishimen. At that critical moment of life and death, he may have unleashed his greatest potential." , I don’t know how I did it. I broke through at that time, but I was still unconscious for a long time..."

The words were unclear, and Yi Chuyang didn't care.

He originally just wanted to ask a question to understand his heart. Situations where childhood may not necessarily be good are common in cultivation sects, and what the other party said should be true. Some people are indeed forced to act like this at the critical moment of life and death. The potential explodes, if you don't die, you live, if you don't die, you rise, and this guy probably caught up with it this time.

But this guy also has a lie to hide. Even if he reaches the fifth level of Qi Refining in three years, he can be considered a genius disciple among the ten major sects, but he himself did not say it deeply.

"Very good, Hebei Fengyun Land. I hope your talent can help your Chonghua Sect to do its part in Hebei Land. Dao Hua, bring the map and the scroll. Lingyun Sect has already taken the lead. Maybe you We can catch up, go together, and take care of each other." Yi Chuyang said calmly.
