Strange mountains and rivers

After a while, Guo Chongdao noticed the tall and pretty girl behind Chen Huaisheng and raised his eyebrows: "Huaisheng, is this...?"

Chen Huaisheng and Fang Baoqi's ambiguous relationship has long been spread.

The Fang Family's Double Jade was once well-known in the Chonghua Sect twenty years ago, but the Fang Family's brother and sister slowed down after they advanced to the middle stage of Qi Refining.

This is also normal. Being young does not necessarily mean you are better when you are older. This kind of thing is very common in any industry. It can even be said that the chance of being smart and flourishing is higher than that of being smart since childhood.

So later on, the Fang brothers and sisters actually performed very well, but they fell behind in the eyes of everyone.

Although the Fang siblings seem to be lagging behind, they are still at the fifth level of Qi Refining and can still stand firm in the Chuan Gong Academy.

However, Fang Baoyu died in the battle of Tianzhai. Fang Baoqi became discouraged and went out to travel, gradually fading out of public view.

It wasn't until Chen Huaisheng didn't come home at night at the Shangyuan Taoist Association that the core members of the sect vaguely knew that Chen Huaisheng was actually with Fang Baoqi.

You must know that Fang Baoqi is more than ten years older than Chen Huaisheng. Although the huge age difference in the spiritual world is not surprising, generally speaking, men are older than women. Even if they are thirty or fifty years older, it doesn't matter. But if it is a woman, If you are much older than a man, it is easy for people to associate you in a bad direction.

It is unclear whether the two became Taoist couples, but Chen Huaisheng and Fang Baoqi both advanced to the sixth level of Qi Refining, which made You Shaoyou and Wu Tianen, who had previously complained about the two of them being together, no longer keep silent.

Stories of young admiration and romantic romance are not uncommon in the world of cultivation, but all of these must be done under the premise of diligent practice.

Chen Huaisheng proved with his performance that being together with Fang Baoqi was beneficial to his practice, so that was not a problem.

It's just that many sect elders and brothers who are familiar with Chen Huaisheng know that Tong Tong in the sect seems to have a close relationship with him, and that he came to the Chonghua Sect because of the recommendation of Xuan Chimei, a genius girl in the Jiulian Sect. The story inside is so complicated that it dazzles many people, including Guo Chongdao.

It's good now, another one comes out.

Chen Huaisheng had thought about it before he came.

He needs to give a name to the other party's identity.

Taoist companion? impossible.

Escort? It seems too early now.

maid? I feel a little wronged to the other party.

Preparing disciples? It seems possible, and such an identity with an uncertain future is most suitable.

Chen Huaisheng was not yet qualified to accept a disciple. If he wanted to accept a disciple, he would need special approval from the headmaster, the Presbyterian Council, and the Deacon Council. It was not impossible, but Chen Huaisheng had never thought about accepting a disciple.

In sects, it is common for disciples to become Taoist companions and attendants, and a large number of them even evolve from disciples to Taoist companions and attendants.

Therefore, the identity of a preparatory disciple who has not yet been formally identified is most suitable.

"Senior Brother Guo, this is a disciple that I am looking forward to for the sect. After returning from this trip, he will be brought into the sect." Chen Huaisheng stepped aside and said, "Qingyu, come to see Senior Uncle Guo. Senior brother was my elder when I first entered the academy, and he was very kind to me in the right academy of the Chuan Gong Academy. To be able to be where I am today, senior brother Guo helped me a lot."

Min Qingyu hurried over to greet him.

She had indeed been to Da Zhao a few years ago, but she had only been to Wei County, which was close to the river, and had never set foot in Bianjing.

Today, when she followed Chen Huaisheng into the city, she was enchanted by the bustling city.

The prosperity of Bianliang's market was certainly desirable, but the prosperity of Bianliang's cultivation world made her even more excited.

Along the way, Chen Huaisheng also pointed out several sects and aristocratic families that he had only heard about from his father's mouth, such as Tianyun Sect and Huaxi Sword Sect, as well as the official Zhao family and another sect, the Shi family.

Looking at the disciples of those sects and aristocratic families coming in and out of the archway, it feels a bit like they are building foundations all over the place, and there are as many high-ranking disciples as dogs.

She even saw a Zifu Xianqing casually dressed walking out of the Huaxi Jianzong Archway. This was the first time in her life that she had seen a real Zifu person.

This is simply unimaginable in Hebei.

The person in front of him should be at a high level in Qi refining, and Chen Huaisheng respected him very much. It was obvious that he was also a big figure in the Chonghua sect.

"Well, the qualifications are pretty good." Guo Chongdao glanced at Min Qingyu and nodded: "Since you want to introduce me to the door, I will be yours. When we meet for the first time, senior brother, I don't have any gifts. Her cultivation level is still shallow. This is Five bottles of Zuoyuan Dan will surely be of great benefit to his future practice..."

The first thing he did was get three bottles of Zuoyuan Dan, which was much better than his treatment at the beginning. When Wu Tianen first met him, he only gave him a bottle of Zuoyuan Dan and three talismans. Now Min Qingyu has received such a generous gift. It is obvious that Guo Chongdao also cares about him. On face.

Min Qingyu didn't know if he should accept it for a while.

She didn't know what Zuoyuan Pill was, but she could guess that it was a pill used in Chonghua Sect's practice, and it all showed that it was of great benefit to her current practice, and she felt excited in her heart.

The gap between clans and practicing sects and aristocratic families is reflected in many aspects. First, the lack of inherited skills, which is the most critical; second, the lack of auxiliary skills, such as planting high-level spiritual plants, making talismans, and refining elixirs. , these foundations are not possessed by ordinary clans at all.

The Min family is ranked high among the Fuyang Dao clan, but there are only a few books on the techniques, and there are almost no auxiliary techniques. They lack elixirs, spiritual plants, and the right techniques, and they have no talent. Likewise, half the result with half the effort.

Now Min Qingyu finally felt the huge difference between clan and sect.

"Take it, Senior Brother Guo is an enthusiastic person." Chen Huaisheng nodded, and Min Qingyu quickly thanked him before accepting it.

"This Zuoyuan Dan is very effective. From today on, you will divide one pill into three parts and take one part every day for half a year. Maybe you can break through the third level of Qi refining?..."

Chen Huaisheng joked with a smile.

"Ah? Taoist master, is it true?" Min Qingyu was ecstatic and couldn't help but hold three bottles of pills and look at Chen Huaisheng with wide eyes.

"Fake." Chen Huaisheng couldn't help teasing the other party.

"Ah?!" Min Qingyu was dumbfounded. Is it fake? Deceiving yourself?

"Maybe it will take less than half a year, maybe three months." Chen Huaisheng said with a smile.

Seeing Chen Huaisheng flirting with this woman, Guo Chongdao couldn't help but shake his head. It's great to be young.

After leaving Min Qingyu happy, Chen Huaisheng and Guo Chongdao entered into a formal dialogue.

"The Master has retreated to attack the Zi Mansion. It is estimated that he will go to find the secret realm to deal with the disaster in a year..."

Guo Chongdao nodded.

This is what it should be.

The Chonghua Sect suffered heavy losses from the Baishi Gate, and even the foundation of the gate was lost, making everyone realize that the lack of hard power was the original sin.

Now they have to survive in the unfamiliar land of Hebei, and they are surrounded by tigers and wolves. Without more than three Zifu lineups, it will be difficult for the Chonghua Sect to gain a foothold in Hebei.

"There are many secret places in Hebei, but Master Master is going to face the disaster in Hebei?" Guo Chongdao asked.

"Not necessarily, it depends on the situation." Chen Huaisheng shook his head, "The next three years should be a period of time for our Chonghua Sect to hide its power and bide its time to accumulate strength. I am afraid that the sect will not be able to stabilize until the Master Master enters Deng Zi Mansion. I'm afraid Senior Brother Bian Guo can only keep a low profile and endure it, and worry more."

Guo Chongdao also sighed, "The Jiulian Sect has done a lot of harm to people. Not only are we in such a difficult situation now, but the Lingyun Sect is even more in danger. Almost every month, people from the Lingyun Sect come to Beijing to complain to the Jiulian Sect and ask for support and help from the Jiulian Sect. , but Jiulian Sect now..."

Seeing Guo Chongdao keep shaking his head, Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but ask: "It is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others. Lingyun Sect is still counting on Jiulian Sect at this time, which is a little ignorant of current affairs. If Jiulian Sect really has this strength, it will not It will force our family to move north. Although I don’t know what happened to the Jiulian Sect yet, I can conclude that the Jiulian Sect is now afraid that it has too much time to take care of itself, and the situation will get worse."

Guo Chongdao was surprised and asked quickly: "Huaisheng, why do you say that?"

From the expression on Guo Chongdao's face, Chen Huaisheng could tell that some of his guesses were probably correct, and the Jiulian Sect was probably in trouble now.

"I've been thinking about it. Our Chonghua Sect and Lingyun Sect are hiding in Yinan, and it doesn't affect who they provoke. Why are the Baishimen and the Nanchu Zijin Sect targeting us? I don't know the situation of the Zijin Sect, but the Baishimen forces It is impossible to expand so fast without support from anyone behind it. In this case, there must be a big plan, but Langling is a small mansion. Compared with Dang State and Songzhou, it cannot be compared in terms of resources. Moreover, with the strength of Baishimen, we can directly take over the Huanzhen Sect and directly annex Dang Kingdom and Songzhou. However, we still have the Jiulian Sect as an ally behind us. What if the Jiulian Sect wants to support us? Why is Baishimen willing to take the risk? Risks, sacrificing the near for the distant, sacrificing the fat for the sake of infertility? This is unjustifiable.”

Guo Chongdao frowned: "Huaisheng, do you mean that Xiangzhuang's sword dance is aimed at Peigong?"

"It's hard to say, but that's how I see it. By doing this, they not only cut off the wings of the Nine Lotus Sect, but also damaged the prestige and image of the Nine Lotus Sect. I'm afraid it also aggravated the chaos and disagreements within the Nine Lotus Sect. Originally, the Nine Lotus Sect's internal There are all kinds of conflicts. Now that such a big situation has arisen, it will definitely be difficult to unify opinions. After we move north, we will not be able to support the Jiulian Sect at all. For example, the Lingyun Sect often comes to Beijing to add trouble to the Jiulian Sect. There must be deeper conflicts within them. , complaining and accusing each other more, the Jiulian Sect is now probably in trouble."

Chen Huaisheng's judgment was as if he had seen the current situation of Jiulian Sect in Beijing with his own eyes. Guo Chongdao was amazed.

"Huai Sheng, your guess is correct. The situation of Jiulian Sect is very bad now. Many sects already feel that maybe Jiulian Sect may fall out of the top ten in the next Taoist meeting." Guo Chongdao sighed: "Internally, they The contradictions are so deep that the conflicts between the Demon Lotus Sect, Jing Fu Sect, and Yuan He Sect are almost not covered up, and have become an open secret in the capital. I think it won't be long before the Nine Lotus Sect may be disintegrated. "
