Strange mountains and rivers

There are more and more people on the street, and it can be seen that almost all of them are monks who are united in spirit, energy and spirit.

The candlelight around Hongqiao is like two shining bead chains, reflecting the entire Bianhe River like a fairyland.

The boats moored on the river under the bridge also lit up their lights one after another. Some passenger ships even lit up ten or twenty lights. There were also flower boats whose entire hulls were made of spiritual materials and supported by magic weapons. The entire hull seemed to be Misty in a kind of pearly aura, like a dream.

It’s no wonder that many monks want to board a boat to have fun even if they spend twenty or thirty spiritual stones, just so that when they return to their hometowns in the future, when locals ask if they have been to Hongqiao Yunjian, they can straighten their chests and say that they have.

We have been here and come back, and dozens of spirit stones can only be admired by the last person who listens to music and watches dance. If you want to go one step further and have tea and a banquet together, then it is not a matter of dozens of spirit stones. If you still want to be a neritou As the guests of the cards, that is a problem that cannot be solved by spiritual stones.

Although the Eight Scenic Spots of Bianjing have long been famous, they are already the old Eight Scenic Spots, and the Hongqiao Yunjian is one of the New Eight Scenic Spots that have emerged in the past hundred years, and ranks among the top three.

Chen Huaisheng didn't expect that the meeting with Xuan Chimei would be on a boat under Hongqiao. Looking at Xuan Chimei who seemed to have become much colder in temperament, Chen Huaisheng estimated that in more than a year, he was afraid that this girl would encounter There are many things.

"I am Hezi." Xuan Chimei handed the roasted pork skin to Chen Huaisheng, "Try it, this is the most famous snack in Beijing, no one can escape its charm."

Chen Huaisheng took the roasted pork skin and stuffed it into his mouth while speaking inarticulately: "Hezi? This year's Yuanhe Five Hezi?"

"Um."

Xuan Chimei's brows had a hint of indescribable melancholy, which made Chen Huaisheng feel a little heartbroken, but he had to admit that with this melancholic temperament, Chi Mei was even more touching.

Chen Huaisheng roughly knew that each of the Jiulian sects had their own unique core training methods, but outsiders did not know the specifics.

Xuan Chimei mentioned it to him, but she only knew that Hezi should be the young core of their Yuanhe Sect.

Approximately, the age needs to be stuck under thirty-five years old, and those with extremely high talent and rapid advancement can become Hezi after multiple screenings.

The five Hezi, after being eliminated in the next step, will become the Three Cores. The last step will be the Single Core. Step by step, the waste will be eliminated and the essence will remain. The so-called Hexin will become a candidate for the sect master.

But this is not the only candidate, because the Yuanhe Sect launches a round of screening every ten years, which means that during this waiting process, once you fall behind, you may also be lost to the crowd and surpassed by latecomers. .

However, one thing can be explained, that is, Xuan Chimei has become one of the top five people in the Yuan He Sect in the past ten or twenty years. This is different from the previous praises of the brothers and sisters in the sect. This is because of It has been proven by practice.

Chen Huaisheng knew that Xuan Chimei was the best in Jiulian Sect, ever since he entered Jiulian Sect.

But the stars in the Nine Lotus Sect are bright. Every year, hundreds of disciples enter the Nine Lotus Sect, and there will be a few extremely dazzling new stars shining brightly. However, Xuan Chimei can stand among the bright stars, which is enough to show his excellence. .

It has been seven years since she entered the Jiulian Sect, and the fact that Wu Hezi was shortlisted in the Yuanhe Sect's once-a-decade selection of Hezi further confirmed this.

Among the hundreds of new disciples who have entered the Yuanhe Sect within the past ten or twenty years, her performance ranks among the top five, and judging from her age, she is probably the youngest one.

"That's a great thing, Chi Mei. After Wu He Zi, there should be Three Lotus Cores, and then Du He Core, right?" Chen Huaisheng showed joy on his face, "Congratulations to Chi Mei, and also for catching up with Brother Yu. Just around the corner.”

Xuan Chimei rolled her eyes, and the melancholy look on her face became more intense: "Brother Huaisheng, let alone the five people in Wuhezi, there are still four competitors to get to Duhexin. I only want to say that now Jiulian Sect Brother Huaisheng, you don’t know anything about the situation, do you? It’s all like this, whether it’s He Zi, He Rui or He Xin, what’s the point?”

Chen Huaisheng's heart sank. Even Xuan Chimei was aware of the crisis. What about the Yuanhe Sect itself?

"Chi Mei, are you Yuanhe Sect masters aware of the danger?" Chen Huaisheng asked.

"Brother Huaisheng, who can't see it?" Xuan Chimei smiled bitterly, "The sect leader, master, and several uncles and uncles are all anxious, but the situation has developed to this point, what can I do?"

"What can I do? I'm so worried. This is a bit strange. I don't believe it. The Yuan He Sect, the Demon Lotus Sect, and the Jingfu Sect are all branches of the Nine Lotus Sect. How come they are incompatible with each other? Is it possible that together they are better than being separated by others? Is it more difficult to accept food shared by others?" Chen Huaisheng looked incomprehensible, but he knew the secret behind it.

It’s all for profit, especially when internal interests are more conflicting than external ones. Some losses to external interests can be concealed, but damage to internal interests is visible to everyone and will spread immediately. The entire Jiulian Sect is afraid that the person in charge will not be able to secure his position.

Xuan Chimei just sighed, but didn't know how to explain.

To be honest, she didn't understand why they were all members of the Nine Lotus Sect. How could they still make concessions to the outside world, but they couldn't make any concessions to the internal sects?

Chen Huaisheng was not interested in the life and death of the Yuanhe Sect. He was only concerned about Xuan Chimei's whereabouts and whether he would encounter any mishaps in the great split of the Jiulian Sect.

Although the Yuanhe Sect is a major branch of the Jiulian Sect, there are also many forces who covet it. This is because the Yuanhe Sect's sect is located in Dacheng Mountain in Yuanling County, three hundred miles west of Bianliang Mansion.

"The Book of Mountains and Seas" says: "The mountain of Dacheng has a shade of water, many irons, and a sunny forest with trees like a canopy, rich and diverse. There is a marsh at the foot of the mountain, called the marsh, with a radius of a hundred miles, unfathomable depth, and water. It comes out. There is a lotus in the pond, with purple stems and black leaves, which are three feet into the ground. Its lotus root is like a bone, and there is a spirit inside that can be used to cast the root bone."

Dacheng Mountain is also a blessed land of caves and heavens, with mountains and waters. It can be recorded in the "Book of Mountains and Seas", and it is also occupied by the Yuanhe Sect as the mountain gate. It can be imagined.

Moreover, except for the main mountain, the entire Dalu Mountain is almost surrounded by flat plains, which are the best fertile fields and fertile soil. The surrounding area of ​​Dalu Ze has excellent spiritual power, making it a good place for planting spiritual plants.

The Yuanhe Sect alone has thousands of acres of spiritual land under its control, not counting the large output of Zunze and Gushui, so the Yuanhe Sect's life was originally quite prosperous.

But in addition to Yuanhe Sect, Zhengcheng also has a sect - Dafeng Pavilion.

This sect is not large in scale, with less than a hundred disciples, but its strength is pretty good.

The two sides have always been in conflict over the nearly 1,000 acres of spiritual land near Yuze. Dafeng Pavilion has always been at a disadvantage, and the backer of Dafeng Pavilion is the Huaxi Sword Sect.
