Strange mountains and rivers

"Why do you want to go to Dahuai Mountain?!" Shang Jiuling was confused. "Dahuai Mountain is in the middle of Weihuai Road, nearly a thousand miles away from Wolong Ridge and even further away from Jijun. If something happens..."

There are only a few dozen people in Chen Huaisheng's Yunzhong Mountain. Even if you include the disciples and Taoists, there are only a few people with some real strength. It is too exaggerated to suddenly go to Dalu Mountain.

"Master, since it is impossible for me to go to Chongyang Mountain, then there is actually not much difference between being in Wolong Ridge or Dahuai Mountain." Chen Huaisheng said calmly.

Chen Huaisheng has actually thought about this issue for a long time.

It was certain that he would not go to Chongyang Mountain, but Chen Huaisheng was also weighing the possibility of staying in Wolong Ridge, or going to Yue'an Mountain, or choosing Dahuai Mountain.

Staying in Wolong Ridge means continuing to retain Yunzhongshan, but now the Chonghua faction will continue to retain the so-called Lower House for two or three years until it transitions to a branch. Li Yu stays behind, has good relations, and can be taken care of, which is an advantage.

But the shortcomings are also very prominent. Yunzhongshan is too close to each other. As the manpower of Longlinyuan is greatly reduced, I am afraid that Longlinyuan will often direct and arrange people from Yunzhongshan to do things, whether it is patrolling or protecting. Whether it is protection or supplies, they are all indispensable. It is probably difficult to practice with peace of mind.

And if you stay on Wolong Ridge and want to recruit new disciples, you will definitely have to go through the Longlin Plains. But there are no such restrictions in Dahuai Mountain or Yue'an Mountain. If possible, just report it. Can.

Therefore, Chen Huaisheng is not inclined to stay in Wolong Ridge.

Crossing the Mount is also an option.

The conditions of Yue'an Mountain are better than those of Yunzhong Mountain, with rich spiritual energy and rich resources such as spiritual materials and plants. However, the location of Yue'an Mountain is not very good. There are mountains on both sides, and it is between Hanshan Road and Tangshui Road. The relationships among the surrounding sects and families are complicated and it is difficult to gain a foothold.

The Xie brothers want to cooperate with Chen Huaisheng, but they don't want Chen Huaisheng to come and occupy the magpie's nest. Once Yunzhongshan moves here, the relationship will probably deteriorate. Of course, Chen Huaisheng is not afraid of the other party, and the other party is in this wave of monsters. It is unknown whether he will survive.

It's just that the Xie brothers are not the only ones in the area. There are also many sects and aristocratic families of different sizes in the area. Once they settle down, they may have constant disputes with the surrounding areas, making it difficult to settle down and practice, so going over the mountain is not the best option.

Finally, there is Dahuaishan.

The biggest disadvantage of Dahuaishan is that it is too far from Wolong Ridge and Jijun, and at the same time it has to face the pressure of Yuelu Sect and Tianhe Sect.

The Tianhe Sect is even better. Now its energy is mainly not on Wei Huaidao, but on Yunzhou and Jinzhou. However, the Yuelu Sect has always regarded Wei Huaidao as its sphere of influence, but it is hindered by the Tianhe Sect's influence. Those who object do not dare to intervene or express their attitude too openly.

However, after the battle between the Chonghua Sect and the Yuelu Sect a few years ago, the two sides reluctantly reached an agreement. Dahuai Mountain still belongs to the Chonghua Sect. With Dahuai Mountain as the boundary, the entire Weihuai Road and the east of Dahuai Mountain belong to the Chonghua Sect. The Hua faction's sphere of influence, and the west belongs to the Yuelu Sect's sphere of influence.

However, this agreement was only reached privately between the Yuelu Sect and the Chonghua Sect and could not be announced to the public, otherwise the Tianhe Sect and other sects and aristocratic families of Wei Huaidao would not agree.

In fact, in the current Wei Huaidao and Chonghua Sect, except for retaining Dahuaishan, their other influence has been weakened to the point where it is quite weak. The Chonghua Sect's energy in Hebei is still more on Fuyang Road, with only a small amount. My thoughts are on the eastern part of Wai Wai Road.

Now the Chonghua Sect is even preparing to give up on Wolong Ridge and Fuyang Road, let alone Dahuaishan, which is far away in the middle of Weihuai Road. This is the reason why Shang Jiuling is most unable to understand and imagine that Chen Huaisheng would have this idea.

But for Chen Huaisheng, the advantages of Dahuaishan are also quite obvious.

First, the Lingshan Blessed Land with the best resources among the several places provided by the Taoist Palace to the Lingyun Sect and Chonghua Sect who moved north was Dahuai Mountain. Its area is not as large as Wolong Ridge, but its spiritual power is still there. It is relatively concentrated, but it is much larger than places like Chongyang Mountain.

Second, it is located in the middle of Weihuai Road. Although it is not as dense as Fuyang Road in terms of population resources, there are many mountains and swamps around it where a large number of spiritual plants and spiritual animals exist. For example, Tongtianbo is located on Weihuai Road and Jinzhou Tianjing Road. Within the territory of Zhiguan Mountain, although Zhiguan Mountain is also on Tianjing Road, it is not far from Weihuai Road.

In addition, going south from Weihuai Road, you can directly cross the river to Weijun and Sijun via Hanshan Road, but from a geographical point of view, Weihuai Road is closer to the heart of Zhao Dynasty than Fuyang Road.

Chen Huaisheng had known about Dacheng Mountain for a long time. It was smaller than Wolong Ridge, but the spiritual ground was more powerful and had clear layers. If we consider it from the perspective of prevention, it would be much easier to build a mountain-protecting array in the future.

Of course, the disadvantage has already been mentioned. The threats from Tianhe Sect and Yuelu Sect are closer to Jinzhou. If something happens, it may be difficult for the Chonghua Sect to help.

Chen Huaisheng's answer was simple, but Shang Jiuling could understand the meaning. In Hebei, no matter where he was, it might be the same for them, because when Wolong Ridge was reduced to a branch hospital, something would really happen. , the little strength of the branch hospital can't help, Chen Huaisheng and the others may be much stronger than the branch hospital.

"Huaisheng, when the sect disbands the Lower House in two or three years, are you willing to take over Wolong Ridge?" Shang Jiuling sighed softly and said no more, "No matter what the conditions on Fuyang Road are, It’s better than Wei Huaidao’s.”

It is certainly not possible to hand it over directly to Chen Huaisheng now, but in two or three years the sect will complete its goal of moving south and take root in Ji County. It will be logical for the Wolongling branch to be handed over to Chen Huaisheng. Chen Huaisheng is also an old man of Chonghua after all.

"Master, who can say clearly what will happen in two or three years? Let's see again then." Chen Huaisheng shook his head: "Whether this wave of monster beasts alone will ease after this winter, no one can Can’t tell? Maybe this year will be the hardest in Hebei, next year it will be Zhao’s turn, and the year after that it will be Nanchu?”

Shang Jiuling laughed, "How is that possible? Is this wave of monsters spreading southward one after another?"

Chen Huaisheng also smiled, "Master, this is hard to say. The weather changes are unpredictable. This winter is much colder than in previous years, which is why the monsters in the forbidden areas in Hebei have come out. If the Zhao Dynasty next year It’s also getting cold over there, so will the monsters in places like Yushan come out?”

Shang Jiuling didn't quite believe this guess, but he didn't say much.

Now that Chen Huaisheng has also expressed his attitude, Shang Jiuling needs to consider what kind of model Chen Huaisheng brings a group of people to Dahuaishan like this.

If you live far away from the mountain gate and grow wildly, can you still be considered a disciple of the Chonghua Sect?

If so, how should the relationship with the Chonghua Sect be positioned? How are the rights and obligations of both parties reflected?

"Huaisheng, have you considered how to maintain the relationship with the sect when you go to Dahuaishan? You have no intention of leaving the sect, right?" Shang Jiuling said slowly.

"Master's words are serious. I have never thought about leaving the sect. I am still Master's direct disciple. How can I have such thoughts?" Chen Huaisheng said quickly: "Disciple is just thinking about how to do this for himself and the disciples around him. People provide a better cultivation environment. Now there are many new generation disciples in the sect. In addition, many outstanding talents are emerging from the original disciples of the Jiulian Sect. The disciples estimate that after deciding to use Chongyang Mountain in Jijun as the mountain gate, the original Jiulian Sect may There will be many disciples from the sect coming to apply, and Ji County itself is a place where talents are flourishing, so resources will definitely be even more scarce. Disciples can’t only consider themselves, but also have to consider the training opportunities of other disciples, so they want to go. Dahuaishan, please master understand this,..."

Chen Huaisheng's words were sincere and there were no tricks, and Shang Jiuling also understood.

As the sect gets bigger, the competition for resources will definitely become more intense. From spiritual food to spiritual stones, to spiritual materials, elixirs, magic weapons, and even opportunities for practice and experience, they will all face competition.

Some talents could have better development space, but face too fierce competition and lack of resources, which eventually leads to falling behind and gradually becoming mediocre.

This situation is not uncommon.

It is normal to break out of this environment and look for greater development space and get more resources. Everyone has such expectations.

Now Chen Huaisheng has carried the hopes of the people around him with his own outstanding performance, so it is reasonable for such a group of people to be willing to follow him.

"Huaisheng, don't beat around the bush. Since you are willing to stay in the Chonghua Sect, you will definitely get the support that the Chonghua Sect should give you, but you also need to make necessary contributions to the Chonghua Sect. This is something you You should understand.”

Although Shang Jiuling prefers Chen Huaisheng in his heart, he is the leader, so he naturally has to consider issues from the perspective of the sect.

"Don't worry, Master. This disciple will definitely not be such an ungrateful person. As long as the disciple can fulfill the requirements of the sect, he will definitely not shirk."

Chen Huaisheng agreed readily.

Now he needs the name of the Chonghua Faction and the support of the Chonghua Faction. Even if the Chonghua Faction wants to abandon Hebei, it will only happen in two or three years. At least now, the Chonghua Faction will retain a certain strength in Hebei. Li Yu I have always taken good care of myself, so of course I have to maintain this relationship well.

"It's good that you understand, but this is all for next year. This winter, Lao Qi and I will be stationed at Longlinyuan. If you need help in Yunzhong Mountain, just issue a warning. I know that the cultivators you have made friends with are extremely powerful. If Longlinyuan encounters difficulties, you must do your best to help."

Shang Jiuling did not inquire deeply about the foreign cultivators.

In his opinion, this is Chen Huaisheng's personal matter. The Taoist Palace and the official family of Da Zhao have lifted the ban on the activities of foreign cultivators. Human monks are increasingly making friends with foreign cultivators. If you can make foreign cultivators do things for you, that is also your ability. .

After receiving accurate information from Shang Jiuling, Chen Huaisheng felt relieved. After surviving this winter, it was time to consider moving west to Dahuaishan.
