TaiHao

There is a famous mountain at the junction of Zhongzhou and Lingzhou. A sword light first circled around three times, and then a dragon and horse came riding on the clouds.

Jiang Yuanchen put the dragon and horse into the river map, fell directly from the sky, waved the Taiyin Spirit Flag to reduce resistance and stood on the top of the Zangming Mountain.

When Jiang Yuanchen and Lin Zixuan were going to travel to southern Xinjiang, Xun Yang asked them to go to Zangming Mountain to survey the situation in Zangming Mountain and prepare for the Taixu Taoist Sect to establish a separate mansion in the future.

The Taixu Dao Sect stands alone, and its disciples have never interacted with other immortal sects, and are suspected of working behind closed doors. Although every true candidate has good combat capabilities, communication with his colleagues is also very important. There are constant disputes here in Zhongzhou, which serves as a whetstone for the disciples.

"Even if we are outside the scope of Lingzhou when we get here, there are constant battles in Zhongzhou, so we should be more careful." Lin Zixuan came down with his sword and reminded Jiang Yuanchen.

Lingzhou is peaceful and peaceful. The Taixu Taoist Sect uses its teachings to gather the moral energy of yin and yang to suppress the luck, and the gods of mountains and rivers in charge of a state comb the earth's veins. But Zhongzhou is different. The Chixiao Sword Sect rarely canonizes gods. The Haoming Sect is now almost extinct, and the gods they canonized are all dead. Only the Jingyang Taoist Sect imitates the Taixu Taoist Sect in canonizing gods to protect the law in its own hinterland.

However, the land of Zhongzhou is headed by three major sects, but there are many sects under it, which are completely different from the Taixu Dao Sect that monopolizes 70% of Lingzhou's resources.

Therefore, there is a saying in the cultivation world: if you want to stand out and strengthen your sect, then go to Zhongzhou; if you want to practice peace of mind and seek refuge, then go to Lingzhou. If you want to fish in troubled waters, Yunzhou is the best place; if you want to enjoy yourself, Yizhou is the best place.

Compared with Lingzhou's Antai appearance, there are countless sects in Zhongzhou. The aura here alone makes Jiang Yuanchen and his two men clearly feel the difference from Lingzhou.

The spiritual energy in Lingzhou is very pure, and many gods of mountains and rivers transform the spiritual energy, which is of great help to the monks' practice. But the aura here in Zhongzhou seems to have a slightly different feeling?

At the junction of Zhongzhou and Lingzhou, Jiang Yuanchen felt that the situation was very different from the situation in the hinterland of Taixu Dao Sect, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Zhongzhou is dominated by fairy cities that rule the mortals. Except for those big sects that can open up a mortal kingdom, it would be great for other small sects to have cities with hundreds of thousands of people. Compared with the mortals over there in Lingzhou, The situation in Guolinli is very different, and naturally there is not much yin and yang moral energy gathered. Many fairy cities are constantly killing and attacking to devour the spiritual energy, which is quite different from the natural landscape spiritual energy over there. Now it is only the edge area. After you enter the fairy city, I understand, although the aura of the fairy city is rich, there is also a lot of mundane turbidity hidden in it."

"In the early years, I once went to Zhongzhou. Zhongzhou can be said to be the largest sales place of Tiangong Mansion. The city-defending spirit stone cannons produced by Tiangong Mansion were used to build fairy cities and then resist evil spirits. The intrusion of tribulations. However, every time a demonic tribulation occurs, most of the Immortal City in Zhongzhou will be destroyed and then rebuilt with the help of Tiangong Mansion. This also allows Tiangong Mansion, the force with the weakest combat power, to firmly control the status of the Nine Immortals Sect. .”

"In other words, if we want to open up Beppu here, we also want to build a fairy city in Zangming Mountain? And then attract a large number of people?" Jiang Yuanchen squinted and calculated the direction of the spiritual veins in Zangming Mountain.

"Those small sects and small sects keep the human race in captivity just to protect the human race, and by the way, they can select the younger disciples of their sect. But if we have disciples from the Lingzhou area, how can we care about the mortals of Zhongzhou? Why build a fairy city to let people Has the mortal aura polluted the purity of the mountain spirit aura?" Lin Zixuan shook his head: "When the time comes, we can build a villa to connect with the earth, and then place a few spiritual light cannons to protect the villa."

Jiang Yuanchen's heart moved: "The land of Zhongzhou is vast and rich in resources. We build a villa to escape the world of mortals. ① We can select some talented and intelligent people here to strengthen the sect, and we can also curb the growth of the Jingyang Taoist sect."

In times of great calamity, talented people will emerge in large numbers. According to past experience, every time there is a calamity in Lingzhou, there will be ten people who will rise to the occasion. Although some were divided by some small sects and casual cultivators in Lingzhou, Dao Sect can occupy about seven or eight people every time. If we can get a few more talented people from Zhongzhou, it will also be beneficial to the strength of Taixu Dao Sect.

Lin Zixuan didn't think so. Apart from being born with stronger bones, those who were lucky enough were not much more powerful than them. Except for the soul boys born under the blessing of the convergence of spiritual veins in each state, the other lucky ones are nothing more than a cover-up.

During the last demonic calamity, three demonic paths besieged Baiyang Mountain. Among the lucky people collected by the Taixu Dao Sect, only Sun Kang died. Even the so-called soul boys perished. Is this innate talent really important?

"Junior brother, let's deduce the Feng Shui spiritual veins here, we have to continue on our way!"

Jiang Yuanchen took out a jade slip, carved the spiritual veins of Zangming Mountain into it, and then used magic to create a three-dimensional landscape map and printed it on the jade slip. Finally, he took out a white hemp rope and tied a "spiritual buckle" on the jade slip, and asked Lin Zixuan to use the flying sword to pass it back to Lingzhou.

You only need to send this object to an earth spirit god in Lingzhou, and it will naturally return to the hands of Taixu Taoist Sect Xun Yang. Because of the spiritual buckle on it, if anyone except Xun Yang opens it, then this piece of jade will Jane was naturally damaged.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to a fairy city under the jurisdiction of the Chixiao Sword Sect to stay temporarily." The light of Qingming's sword soared into the sky, and Jiang Yuanchen also rode the dragon horse to fly into the sky again.

The Scarlet Sky Sword Sect governs the fewest fairy cities among the three major immortal sects in Zhongzhou, because the Scarlet Sky Sword Sect focuses on practicing swords and has not established a complete mortal kingdom to recruit disciples. It only has twelve fairy cities to protect the swordsman hidden in the Chixiao Mountain. Therefore, the twenty fairy cities under the Haoming Sect are very eye-catching, and the Chixiao Sword Sect also wants to get a share of the pie.

The twelve immortal cities of the Chixiao Sword Sect are all named after swords, such as Epee, Hidden Sword, Yuanjian, Red Sword, Xuanjian and so on.

The fairy city Jiang Yuanchen and his two men visited was the "Epee City". There were millions of mortals and 10,000 monks in the city, of which sword cultivators accounted for 7,000.

"As expected of one of the twelve defensive cities of the Red Sky Sword Sect." Jiang Yuanchen praised as he looked at the Chongxiao Sword Qi in the Epee City. In the city, a Qingmeng sword aura shot up to the sky, and it was clearly a golden elixir monk sitting here.

"The Heavy Sword City was built by the True Spirit Yuanshen of the Chixiao Sword Sect, who cut it from the heavy rocks in the mountains with the magic sword in his palm. The entire city is connected to the mountain air ditch, and there are four golden elixir level God-breaking cannons. , making this epee city survive for thousands of years." Lin Zixuan had been here once before and explained to Jiang Yuanchen while waiting in line to enter the city.

"By the way, the Scarlet Sky Sword Sect does not canonize the spirits of mountains and rivers, but there is a city-guarding god sitting in the Twelve Swords City. These gods are the supreme rulers of the mortals in the city, and are responsible for judging disputes between mortals and Punishment.”

City God? Jiang Yuanchen's heart moved, and he seemed to understand the difference between the gods of Zhongzhou and Lingzhou.

The gods of Lingzhou rely on nature. Although there is land to guard each city, there is no city god connected with human destiny. But Zhongzhou is different. There are too many wars in Zhongzhou, and every demonic calamity is also the focus of cleaning up. Therefore, the mortals here can only rely on the protection of the monks and live in fairy cities to prevent them from being abducted by the demon cultivators to refine treasures and practice martial arts during the demonic calamity. Outside the fairy city, even if there are some human races living sporadically, they will not be taken seriously by the major sects, and they do not have the power to take care of those scattered human races.

Because of the confluence of fates of millions of human beings, the gods in this city gradually became more humane than the gods of nature, and they became the so-called City God. The City God controls the good and evil in a city and manages the people's livelihood in the city, which makes Zhongzhou embark on another path of gods.

"No wonder Zhongzhou is not like our Lingzhou who uses humane teachings and virtues to suppress luck. It turns out that human luck has been entangled with Shinto to give birth to a city god. So if Shinto is revived, the immortality here will be instantly suppressed by Shinto with the help of the power of all living beings. "Jiang Yuanchen thought silently, that's why the gods in Leizhou were suppressed by the many immortal sects in Zhongzhou and were not allowed to spread their message across domains.

Although the gods in Lingzhou are close to daily life, the Taixu Taoist Sect is obviously put first by the people, because the Taixu Taoist Sect is responsible for planning auspicious times for marriages and even medical treatment. It can be said that it is close to people's livelihood. The Taixu Taoist Temple has become a part of Lingzhou culture, and even worshiping gods is the task of the Taixu Taoist Sect. Even if Shinto is revived, Taixu Taoist Sect can take advantage of the situation and use its influence to grasp the human race's belief in wish power.

But that won't work in Zhongzhou. If the city gods rebel with the help of the Leizhou gods, except for the monks who will be expelled from the fairy city, the mortals will not suffer much harm. As long as the gods can protect them from the devil's calamity, mortals will not care if there are several immortal sects ruling above them.

"Then are there city-protecting gods born in those sects' fairy cities outside the three major fairy sects?"

Lin Zixuan thought for a while: "Yes, but not many. Unless they are directly controlled by those sects, those gods will be wiped out after they are born. After all, they don't have the mountain and river seals to control the gods, right? Rather than leaving any future troubles, it is better to do it directly Killer. Moreover, after the fairy city changes hands, the original gods will be killed or sealed by the new ruler. Presumably those sects will also lose their luck because of this, right?"

Jiang Yuanchen remained silent. As a result, the conflict between the immortals and gods in Zhongzhou intensified. Even if Shintoism is not popular now, luck will inevitably counterattack during the future calamity, and one day the sect will be driven out by the city gods who take advantage of the situation. The city, and then the devil took advantage of it and destroyed all the cities with weak defenses.

Unity will benefit both sides, and division will cause two harms. I don’t know how many discerning people in Zhongzhou can see this. It's no wonder that this place is valued by those ambitious sects, and not many casual cultivators are willing to come here.

Lingzhou has strong rules, and casual cultivators must also be subject to certain restrictions. The Zhongzhou sects are too strife, and Yizhou is not suitable for cultivating Taoism. Only Yunzhou has become a paradise for casual cultivators, and it is most convenient to fish in troubled waters.

The two of them were interrogated by the disciples of the Scarlet Xiao Sword Sect at the door. Lin Zixuan showed a jade sign from the Taixu Tao Sect in his hand and was directly led into the city by a disciple of the Scarlet Xiao Sword Sect.

According to the relationship between Taixu Dao Sect and Chixiao Sword Sect, a special pavilion has been prepared for Taixu Dao Sect in the fairy city. Although Taixu Dao Sect does not have visitors all year round, as long as they come, they will be placed here.

"The two of us are just staying for a night. I wonder if we should visit the city lord here according to the previous rules?" Jiang Yuanchen asked the disciple of the Scarlet Xiao Sword Sect who was leading the way.

"That's not necessary. The master-uncle is devoted to cultivating Taoism. Even though we don't see each other on weekdays, the city's gods are responsible for managing everything in the city. The two Taoists can do as they please." The disciple of the Sword Sect also had a plan. Ji Xiuwei smiled and explained the rules of this fairy city to the two of them.
