Strange mountains and rivers

"Uncle Guo, do you want to go back to Shanmen to practice?" Chen Huaisheng and Guo Chongdao have always maintained a very good relationship.

Although Guo Chongdao is a somewhat utilitarian person, it did not affect the communication between the two. During the last Fantai auction, Guo Chongdao also helped him inquire about the situation.

"Yes, Huai Sheng, seeing that you have already established the foundation, Uncle Yu is still lingering at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Such heavy chores really affect his practice." Guo Chongdao had already made up his mind to return to the mountain after the Taoist meeting.

Cao Renben failed to attack the foundation. Now he is going back to the mountain to practice hard. He may be able to catch up in three to five years, but if he is always entangled with the general affairs in the capital, it will be difficult.

At the beginning, he and Cao Renben served as the left and right magistrates respectively in Chuangongyuan, and the competition between the two sides was fierce.

But now that the Chonghua Sect has merged with the Lingyun Sect and accepted the Sun family, they have comprehensively reorganized the internal structures of the Chuan Gong Yuan, the Law Enforcement Yuan, the Zhi Ke Yuan, and the Internal Affairs Yuan, etc., and have also proposed higher standards for the monks who hold positions in each academies. requirements.

For example, the magistrates of each academy are required to be foundation-building monks, which means that neither Cao Renben nor he has the qualifications to serve as magistrates.

Guo Chongdao understands this. The sect is growing, and the inclination of resources in the future will only be drawn based on the spiritual level. No matter how well he does in Bianjing, once Cao Renben builds the foundation, he will never be able to compete with the opponent. .

"Uncle Guo is right to think so. You have been here for several years and have gained enough experience. If you return to the mountain and concentrate on practicing, you should soon be able to reach the peak and attack the foundation." Chen Huaisheng also agreed with Guo Chongdao. Opinion: "But I'm afraid we have to wait until the Taoist meeting is over, but now Master Guo can mention it to the head master and the others and make arrangements as soon as possible."

"Hey, I'm just worried about this Taoist meeting." A look of worry appeared on Guo Chongdao's face, "The situation in Beijing is very chaotic. This Taoist meeting is too big, and the Taoist palace has invited all the sects of the Western Tang, Nanchu and Wuyue sects. Come and participate. Now all kinds of monsters and monsters are pouring into Bianjing City, but the specific rules for the competition have not been released yet, and everyone is a little impatient. "

"It's not just that, right?" Chen Huaisheng wanted to find out more about the situation of the Nine Lotus Sect from Guo Chongdao.

Guo Chongdao also knew what Chen Huaisheng was thinking and nodded: "The situation of Jiulian Sect is very bad among them. Demon Lotus Sect and Jingfu Sect are facing each other tit for tat, and Yuanhe Sect is fanning the flames inside. They each have allies, so now it is a fire and water situation. Look, It looks like it is about to break up and fall apart, and no one can stop it.”

"Can't stop it? But if they split and disintegrate, wouldn't the Nine Lotus Sect think that their original enemies would let them go?" Chen Huaisheng asked rhetorically.

"Of course they have thought about it, but there is no solution to the conflict. In fact, the three parties have gone their own way and can no longer interfere with and influence the actions of other sects. What is this if not a split?" Guo Chongdao spread his hands: "As for the original Those rivals and enemies may pounce on and bite them, but as long as they don't bite themselves, they won't feel the pain. In addition, they also feel that although they are falling apart, they are still a loose alliance and can still help each other. Help. Besides, there is Taihua Road."

Taihua Dao is a potential ally of the Jiulian Sect. Over the years, the two parties have been considered unaligned allies, similar to the relationship between the Jiulian Sect and the Chonghua Sect.

"Taihua Tao?" Chen Huaisheng sneered, "The Nine Lotus Sect is no longer the Nine Lotus Sect. Can the relationship between Taihua Tao and them remain the same? Seeing that the Tianyun Sect, Dacheng Sect and Wanxiang Sect are going to be separated. For the benefit of the Jiulian Sect, does Taihua Dao plan to fight against these hungry wolves on his own, or join in to share the pie? "

Guo Chongdao sighed again, "Huaisheng, until this kind of thing happens, no one can say anything. The Nine Lotus Sect people are making too much trouble, and they have been like this in the past few years. The civil strife not only cost them a lot, but also Otherwise, why would we move north to Hebei? Lingyun Sect would not end up joining our clan."

Chen Huaisheng was speechless, but he knew very well that Jiulian Sect was in danger now.

Virtue is not matched, or the interests owned by Jiulian Sect are extremely inconsistent with the sharp decline in strength caused by the current collapse, which will naturally attract the covetousness of many people.

Looking for opportunities to tear apart the partition is probably what it should be.

But the Jiulian Sect itself seems to be immersed in a beautiful and peaceful dream, and does not feel that the crisis is approaching. Even if someone reminds and warns them, they still don't take it seriously.

The Chonghua Sect has warned the Jiulian Sect, but the Jiulian Sect is now divided into three branches. Anyone who reminds them seems to be alarmist and intimidating themselves on behalf of the other two parties, which is very unpopular.

Of course, it is true that the reminder from the Chonghua Sect is just a prediction and worry. Of course, the Jiulian Sect also has their own judgment.

Whether it will reach that point, no one dares to say for sure, or some people are too optimistic, such as the Jiulian Sect itself, and some people are too pessimistic, such as many people outside, including the Chonghua Sect.

In addition, the Chonghua Party had quite a lot of complaints against the Jiulian Sect. They have been reminded. If you don’t raise alarm among yourself, who will blame you? I'm too lazy to say more.

Chen Huaisheng once tentatively asked Shang Jiuling.

Shang Jiuling's attitude was vague, or rather entangled.

He didn't want to see the Nine Lotus Sect come to an end, but he also felt that once something like that happened, the Chonghua Sect would be unable to save it.

If we take action rashly, we will only involve the Chonghua faction and bring trouble and disaster to the Chonghua faction.

With this mentality, Chen Huaisheng realized that the Chonghua Sect really had no choice but to stay out of the matter.

The entire Bianjing city is extremely lively now.

Facing the upcoming Shangyuan Festival, the entire Bianjing city is permeated with a festive atmosphere.

Perhaps because cultivators from the Western Tang, Southern Chu, and Wuyue were invited to attend the Taoist meeting, there were also many outsiders in Bianjing City.

The gorgeous robes of the Western Tang Dynasty, the elegant gowns of Wu and Yue, the colorful skirts of the Southern Chu Dynasty, and the people with various accents can be seen everywhere in Bianjing city.

But Chen Huaisheng still didn't wait for Tong Tong.

It was originally agreed that Tong Tong would meet on the fifth day of the first lunar month. This was a message she left in the Taoist temple, but she did not come, which made Chen Huaisheng a little worried.

Xuan Chimei doesn't seem to be in Beijing.

Chen Huaisheng went to ask.

The Taoist temple at the Jiulian Sect seemed to be in a bit of chaos. The person who responded was probably not a disciple of the Yuanhe Sect, so the response was cold and rude, saying he was not there without any other explanation.

Hitting the wall one after another made Chen Huaisheng very depressed. Fortunately, Kou Qing was there.

When he saw Kou Qing, Chen Huaisheng was shocked.

She is a nineteen-year-old girl, with a beautiful and slender figure and a cool and bright temperament, which makes people feel a little ashamed of herself.

The well-fitting purple satin trousers were pressed into the Jimo jacket, and the long skirt with a floating feel had long slits on both sides for easy floating. An exquisite jade belt was tied around the waist, which immediately added a bit of heroic aura.

Even if I haven't seen her for three years, how has this girl changed so much?

Looking at the dazzled man in front of her, Kou Qing felt filled with joy, but the other man also shocked her immensely.

Established a foundation? ! How can this be?

Did you read it correctly?

It was really a foundation. It took a while before Kou Qing struggled out of this dizziness. How could he have established a foundation? It had only been a few years?

I've known for a long time that he was extraordinary, but it wasn't so outrageous, right?

Although he had promised to go to Hebei to see him, he repeatedly broke the appointment and was unable to make the trip. Three years ago, he only refined the sixth level of Qi, but three years later, he had already established the foundation.

Even if it takes one year to break through the realm and advance to the next level, it should only be at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Why is it just building the foundation?

I also feel that I have been practicing diligently and hard in the past three years and have made rapid progress. In October last year, I was already at the fifth level of Qi refining, and now I am working ambitiously to hit the sixth level of Qi refining this year.

I didn't expect to be able to catch up with him, but at least I couldn't throw him further and further away. Who would have thought that it would be as simple as throwing him further and further away? It was simply beyond his reach. How did this guy practice?

Grabbing Chen Huaisheng's Cun Guan ruler, Kou Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, how did you practice? What techniques did you use? Or did you eat some heaven and earth spiritual treasure to cut bones and cleanse roots? I don't believe that my talent is better than How far behind are you, why did you just build the foundation?"

If it were anyone else, Kou Qing would have been injured immediately due to Meng Lang's actions, but Chen Huaisheng was also startled, and then let the other party hold his wrist, "Then check it out, raise your consciousness, What secrets do I have? Don’t you think you, the daughter of the Kou family, are afraid of being laughed at and misunderstood?”

Kou Qing threw away Chen Huaisheng's wrist angrily, and quickly looked around. People were coming and going. Fortunately, because it was too busy, not many people noticed the two of them. Even if they did, they thought they were just... It's just a couple's play.

"Humph, what kind of rich lady am I? The Kou family doesn't lack me either." Kou Qing's face darkened slightly, but then she regained her brightness, "Let's go, I just came to the capital, is there anything you want to buy?" , Shall I go shopping with you?"

"Well, yes, there is Xuanhuang Divine Soil, is there?" Chen Huaisheng looked at Kou Qing's eyes and said softly.

A wisp of rouge appeared on Kou Qing's fair face and went all the way to his neck. He punched Chen Huaisheng hard. Kou Qing's voice even trembled and became softer: "Humph, do you still remember the Xuanhuang Divine Soil? It's not used yet. enough?"

"It's never enough." The clear and hot look in Chen Huaisheng's eyes made Kou Qing dare not look at each other, and quickly turned his head away: "Where can I buy the black and yellow sacred soil? Unless some kid steals it and sells it, this market Where can I see it?”

"Then how did I get it?" Chen Huaisheng liked to see Kou Qing's shy look and became more and more proud.

Kou Qing was really flustered by Chen Huaisheng, especially on the street. He quickly grabbed Chen Huaisheng's arm and pushed him forward to prevent this guy from talking nonsense.
