The Taoist ancestor is Cthulhu

Daozu is Cthulhu Chapter 246 Penglai

Li Fan followed the direction of the fish school back toward Penglai Mountain.

Although his Taisu Taoist cultivation has greatly improved, he is not crazy enough to think that he can master the Xuanmen authentic sect alone. In particular, Penglai is one of the nine major Taoist sects this year, which means that there is at least one enlightened sect leader who is not in retreat and is in an online standby state to guard the sect.

If you disturb Tai Sui, wouldn't you be asking for your own death? Taking a certain sword sect as an example, if you want to destroy the Xuan Sect alone, you must at least be at the level of Youquan Daozu, right?

So Li Fan's main goal this time is very simple, which is to rescue Amao and the children of the Huan family.

Although Xuanmen is overbearing and can kill people all over the house at every turn, even the Immortal Palace knows that annihilation of the family and extermination of the cause and effect cannot be done if the character is corrupted. Penglai probably will not be able to exterminate the Huan family all at once.

Li Fan estimated that if the kidnapped children of the Huan family were found to have no connection with the divine religion, a few of them would survive. Of course, they would not be released like this. They were probably slaves and slaves. Something like that. After all, there are still only a few protagonists who are lucky enough to be the orphans of the Zhao family. The protagonists who are lucky enough to fight against the Jedi are still in the minority, not to mention that there are many enemies in the Xuanmen, not least the Huan family.

Of course, there can also be side missions, such as the one that killed three Nascent Souls and six Golden Elixirs of the Huan family directly, and their appearance was also recorded by the drone. Anyway, as long as Li Fan catches him, he can knock it over with just one click, so it's not that difficult. But if he was killed by a sniper in broad daylight, he might have to be hunted down by Penglai masters, so we could only see if there was a chance. If we can ensure that the children of the Huan family are rescued, it would be enough to kill one or two to make the Huan family vent their anger and seek justice.

So he followed the fish and water escape all the way, and Li Fan also collected information along the way, and found Fatty Lan through Yuntai Peak, and bought a copy of the information on all the current nine Xuanmen members, so as not to attract attention, and now Zhenguo Xunguo is The one who is more deeply involved is Penglai. It is common sense to focus on the detailed introduction of this sect and not arouse suspicion.

In addition, Yue Po also took it out for him to inquire about, asking Penglai's heels and what powerful methods or special camp special moves he had. In short, the collection of intelligence beforehand cannot be careless, and the more complete it can be, the better.

This kind of inquiring and patchwork made Rabbit tired of asking questions, and he also sorted out a lot of battle reports on the other side. So Li Fan also researched while rushing on the road, and roughly sorted out the situation of the Penglai lineage.

First, a well-known nonsense. Penglai is actually a place name. Just like in the past, Jiuyin Mountain was often used to specifically refer to the Beichen Sword Sect. Later, when the Sword Sect disappeared, it was called the Beichen Sword Sect directly. When negotiating with the existing authentic disciples of Xuanmen, they often refer to the hidden mountain gate as their disciple.

This is out of respect for taboos, so that the other party will not take advantage of the situation and find trouble by saying that you have insulted his disciple and want to kill your head as a sacrifice to heaven. One reason is also because these immortal mountains and blessed lands are usually not exclusive to one sect or one lineage. What if the other party is a disciple of another branch and does not give the right name, and is found to be in trouble and said that you have insulted the sect and have to behead your head to sacrifice to heaven? Aren't you very annoyed?

For example, Beichen Sword Sect also had two Qi Sword Sects back then, and Mozhu Mountain also had Lou Guandao, Zhushan Nine Peaks and Moshan Wuzi Peak. On the East China Sea Immortal Island in Penglai Mountain, immortals gathered, true cultivators gathered, and the inheritance of various sects increased.

And above the East China Sea, there are five fairy mountains, Daiyu, Yuanqiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou, and Penglai. They are all treasured cultivation places at the level of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land. Among them, Penglai Fairyland is the most powerful. Therefore, those who have always been able to occupy Penglai Mountain The sect is the leader of the Immortal Family that is worshiped by all the overseas immortal islands scattered across the Bohai Sea. It can be regarded as the leader who unified the people of the East China Sea and is worshiped by thousands of immortals.

Today, the leader of the East China Sea is also a Xuanmen lineage that worships Xuannv. It is called the Taishang Jiuzhen Sect. Not only does one sect monopolize the three fairylands of Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fanghu, but there are also countless blessed lands and fairy islands in the East China Sea of ​​the Central Plains. Because of Penglai As the main mountain, it is also called the Penglai Jiuzhen Sect. He is the suzerain to whom all the families and sects in the East China Sea submit.

Jiuzhen Sect is a serious Taoist cultivator. It is similar to the recruitment and management mechanism of Lou Guandao in Mozhu Mountain. The aristocratic families in the East China Sea Islands and the three states of Gen, Zhen and Xun will select their disciples and become registered disciples of Jiuzhen Sect. , to express surrender, and only by reaching the Golden Core realm and passing strict examination selection can one become an inner disciple of the Shangzong. Otherwise, he will be assigned to the outer island, become a disciple of the outer sect, and obey orders.

Moreover, Penglai's management of the casual cultivators under its rule is very strict. It's OK to pass down the martial arts from family, but it's not allowed for the casual cultivators to teach! All disciples must first select the elites from the Jiuzhen Sect, and then select the remaining ones and assign them to the next sect, which is very domineering.

Local aristocratic families can contribute resources and be responsible for breeding spiritual beasts, planting elixirs, and mining minerals for Penglai Mountain in exchange for some outer sect cultivation techniques. He hopes that the next generation will have a Penglai inner sect disciple who will suddenly turn into a high-class family.

However, casual cultivating sects like Zhushan Jiufeng cannot survive under the rule of Penglai, because the resources in the entire East China Sea belong to Penglai. You can't trade with each other privately, you have to ask Penglai to distribute it.

Therefore, the casual cultivators in the East China Sea must either submit to the rule of Penglai Mountain and provide resources. Or you will be suppressed and expelled to the outer sea to associate with monsters.

For example, the two fairy mountains of Daiyu and Yuanqiao gathered the scattered cultivators and demons of the East China Sea who were suppressed by Penglai. He was attacked by Penglai disciples for many years. Of course, this does not mean that the demonic ways in these two mountains are really powerful. They can actually compete with the Jiuzhen Sect. The main reason is that the distance is too far. Unlike the Penglai Three Mountains, which are still close to the Central Plains, Daiyu Yuanqiao is already isolated overseas, far away in the horizon, separated by thousands of miles of ocean. Occasionally, it is okay to organize the disciples who are stuck at the realm level to fight monsters, overcome tribulations, take risks, and engage in team building. If you want to maintain long-term and effective rule and also take into account the affairs of the three major sects of the Central Plains, then Penglai's manpower is obviously not enough.

Yes, it is actually because of Xuanmen's inherent shortcomings, there are too few manpower. Whether Penglai or the Nine Great Xuanmen, they all face similar problems to Mozhu Mountain, that is, the territory is too large and there are too few core cadres that can be trusted.

The output of just one fairy mountain in Penglai is actually enough for the inner disciples of Taishang Jiuzhen Sect, not to mention that it now occupies three mountains and ten thousand islands, and is also involved in the three kingdoms of Gen Zhen and Xun. Mo Zhushan was thinking about whether to go south or north, and Penglai Mountain was thinking about going west or east.

So this time, Zhenguo, a territory that Penglai regarded as its own backyard, was suddenly overthrown by the divine sect, which really angered Jiuzhen Palace. And he's not just angry at the Xiao family for being incompetent, he's also angry that these guys are not only incompetent, but they actually have the nerve to fight among themselves!

Yes, another three months have passed, half a year since Taicheng was besieged, and Hou Gu is still alive and kicking! Lord Xiao is still eating grass in Taicheng!

It turned out that the 100,000 troops of King Qin who had gathered before fought with thousands of rebels, and were actually defeated! You can believe it if you lose!

Well, Fatty Lan also made a general analysis. It was probably because this time not only the leader of the Zhen Kingdom, but also the crown prince of the Zhen Kingdom were trapped in Taicheng. Both of them were in danger of death, and Zhenzhou reused the clan and used the vassal king to guard the local area and command the troops. So the reinforcements from all walks of life led by the kings of the Xiao family arrived, and they all had to slow down and watch the fire from the other side. Probably because he wanted to wait for a piece of bad news. When two pieces of good news arrived, it would not be too late to take action. So no one was willing to take the lead and compromise their strength.

As a result, when the ministers who escaped saw that these feudal princes had ulterior motives, they also became active and changed their families. Only a few loyal ministers saw that the feudal clans could not be counted on, so they joined forces and hurriedly led private soldiers to fight without waiting for the reinforcements to arrive. However, they were defeated. He was ambushed by Hou Gu and was outnumbered, resulting in a great defeat. Therefore, the kings had more reasons to fortify the wall, saying that they wanted to block Lanling and wait for the rebels to run out of food and collapse.

As a result, Hou Gu's side not only did not run out of food and collapsed, but also became desperate and killed many large households to replenish the granary. On the contrary, in order to avoid the war, the soldiers and civilians who rushed into Taicheng in a hurry ate up all the food and left the city to surrender. In addition, more than 100,000 troops outside Lanling City raided the grass valley and implemented the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields, causing the people to boil over and make it feel like a hell on earth. , so the people joined the thieves one after another, so that now Hou Gu's rebels have gathered a hundred thousand people, and began to dig water channels to divert water from rivers and lakes into Tai City, causing countless casualties to the soldiers and civilians in the city, and God knows how long they can last.

However, not only did the reinforcements from outside not come out, they also held a drinking party, worked hard every day, poisoned the people, and insulted the concubine. The reinforcements from all walks of life who constantly gathered to come for reinforcements and requested the distribution of supplies were also insulted and abused, provoked and provoked, and even fought internally. As a result, the Qinwang's divisions were suspicious of each other, and all the generals had no intention of fighting and wanted to go home.

The unscrupulous descendants of the Xiao family are doing such nonsense, doesn't Penglai care about it?

Penglai wanted to take care of it, but he didn't have time. Because in the past three months, although the reinforcements from Zhenguo's ministries did nothing, other places have been shaken.

There was no surprise on the Duiguo side. Xuanmen broke through the Shijue Formation. The masters of the divine masters of the divine sect were outnumbered. They resisted while losing to the northwest. How could the Nine Great Mysterious Sects miss such a good opportunity to eliminate demons? This group of senior experts also gave full play to the unorganized and undisciplined tradition passed down from the Beichen Sword Sect era, and followed closely behind them. They did not even know that they had caught up. where it goes. It's probably not that they don't know that the masters of the divine religion are deliberately sacrificing their lives to lure the enemy, but they simply don't care. After all, your Immortal Palace has hundreds of thousands of troops pressing down on the territory, even hundreds of thousands of pigs. How can you be defeated so easily?

So the Immortal Palace Army is also here. When I heard that the masters of the Divine Cult in the north were defeated, the situation was great. I had the advantage, and I extended it to others. I expected that all the Divine Masters in the north had fled, and the Divine Cult army in front of me would also be defeated. So, it was at this time that I made a great contribution! So the generals also felt that they were able to do it again, indicating the rise and fall of the world, the Immortal Palace and the State, in this one move, who else would it be? They mobilized one after another to send out troops, fought for a while, and then lost.

...Well, we lost. We don’t know how we lost yet. Some say that Wen Tianjun came again and did not wait for reinforcements to arrive. He underestimated the enemy and rushed in. As a result, we were surrounded. Some said that we had a traitor among us. In short, The Immortal Palace army fought a battle with the Divine Cult in Juelong Ridge and was defeated.

This time Wen Tianjun's whereabouts are also unknown, Sanyuan has also started a fierce impeachment party struggle, Yuntai Peak has also blocked the information, and Ye Luzi's fortune tellers can no longer even get specific information.

The war between Zhen State and Kun State now occupies the world's attention, but it does not mean that other places are stable. It is just that the scale of mobilization is not on the level of hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, so it is not worthy of attention.

The only good news I can say is that Lou Guandao's lineage helped break the Shijue Formation. Because the Nangong family rebelled, they did not continue to pursue the divine sect. General Zhennan has urgently led his disciples back to Liguo to take charge.

Maybe the Xuanmen Immortal Palace was a little wary of the rise of Mozhu Mountain in the past, but now looking at other places, don't worry about what may become a nuisance in the future. If you continue like this, there will be no future. Li Guo and follow us. The crash is a big help...

Li Fan looked at Fatty Lan's battle report and was speechless.

Do you think there are really stupid people among these three major factions? I'm afraid there really isn't, after all, the fools have been eaten dry long ago.

It can only be said that the people in the Immortal Palace are greedy for profit, the people in the Xuanmen are ruthless, and the people in the Divine Cult are unscrupulous. They are all ruthless people who will do anything to achieve their goals. I really don’t know what kind of weird matching mechanism they put together...

If Mo Zhushan wants to compete with such a group of extremely smart scum, I'm afraid it's going to be a long way to go...

Let's not worry about the world's major events for the time being. Li Fan himself felt a headache just looking at this mess. However, it is estimated that the Penglai Jiuzhen Sect who is currently involved in the situation is probably equally distressed, so he may not notice the Huan family. His son was rescued and it was time for him to take action recently.

In this way, Gonggong swam under the fish for several days. Li Fan also relied on the blind eye method to sense from a distance that fishing and cargo ships were passing nearby, and knew that he was probably approaching the territory of Penglai Mountain. Then his body rolled up and turned into a man with red hair and golden eyes, broad shoulders and long legs, brown skin and muscles, and his appearance was based on the pirates he had seen before. Then he dressed up in disguise, put on the protective clothing of the divine cult, and deliberately tattooed a red scorpion on his shoulder, holding the Huan family's spear gun, and hanging a fire ax as a weapon on his waist. A new disguised character is completed.

Li Fan himself reviewed his previous trip in Xun Country. It was a bit careless to pretend to be 'Li Yaoshi' for the first time. He showed too many flaws and actually didn't try to hide them. Yang Sheng and the gray-headed guy could see his mistakes. True form. It can only be said that he was lucky, and everyone who offended him was dead, but if he was targeted by his enemies, he would probably encounter trouble like the Huan family sooner or later.

This time he came to Penglai to cause trouble. Although Li Fan had no intention of offending the other party for being too cruel, he couldn't tell if he was going to fight. What's more, he had already killed a Penglai master with Li Yaoshi's face before, and the opponent's crane escaped. The moon soul also showed its appearance. Opposite him were all insidious and ruthless Taoist masters. The godly sect's Na Asiba was already careful in handling things, but he still chased him in the end. In order to avoid being plotted, no matter how cautious he was, he couldn't be too cautious.

So this time, his first-level character is the casual cultivator of the South China Sea, because the ship group destroyed the rogue cultivator pirate who escaped alone in the chaos. The second level of character is Huan Delang, a survivor of the Golden Scale Palace, who comes to avenge his family. The character on the third level is Axiba, the spy of the divine religion. In short, if someone is killed, try to mislead the other party in the direction he wants to seek revenge on the Penglai people. Don't find him and Li Fan.

Having been prepared in this way, Li Fan also cautiously navigated the water and approached nearby islands to inquire for information.

The situation in the East China Sea is different from that in the South China Sea. There are no local wealthy families like Shizhou Qiyu. It is not a paradise where casual cultivators can come and go at will and conduct free trade in the sea market.

The East China Sea only recognizes Taishang Jiuzhen Sect. The islands in various places are either Penglai's medicine gardens or Penglai's mines. Everything that flies in the sky, swims in the sea, and everything belongs to Penglai. There is no chance for you and other people to take it randomly.

If you don't want to die, don't mess with other people's things. This is the advice for getting along with Xuanmen.

Of course, although Xuanmen is always so domineering, there is still room for negotiation. The simplest and most common method is to recommend oneself and become a vassal guest elder of the outer sect.

Not to mention that it is difficult to practice as a casual practitioner. You are ostracized and unpopular everywhere.

Loose cultivators in the Golden Core realm are the most embarrassing, UU Reading www. uｕａａhu.net General civilian forces look down upon it, and powerful powerful forces cannot enter. Some savvy people can still wait in long queues and fight their way to get into the Xuanmen orthodox school. As for those with less qualifications, they can only obey the orders of the outer sect and complete tasks, accumulating the reputation of the sect little by little and working their way up.

But no matter how many tasks you do, no matter how much you contribute to the sect, it is useless. Anyone who has been involved in a large organization knows that if there is no introduction by noble people, no care of connections, and no support, it is impossible to enter the core. It is completely impossible. Just treated as a laborer. If it weren't for the fact that the divine sect was particularly good at distinguishing rewards and punishments, attracting most of the casual cultivators from the Central Plains, perhaps Xuanmen's manpower shortage wouldn't be so serious.

However, if casual cultivators can reach the Nascent Soul realm, their remuneration will be slightly higher. Especially for martial cultivators who practice body training. If they seek refuge in the Twelve Kingdoms, they may be able to work as generals and go to Xuanmen. At most, he can be a protector and a more advanced thug. Of course, if no one recommends you, you may still be excluded from the circle. Even being carefully guarded by spies on the spot was normal.

It's just that we are in troubled times now, and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere. Li Fan estimates that Penglai must be useful for a place with rough martial arts. He didn't want to get too high in Penglai. He just needed to establish a clear identity, sneak into the three Penglai islands openly, search for the whereabouts of Amao and the others, and escape as soon as he rescued them.

So Li Fan revealed the aura of the Nascent Soul Stage of Gonggong Dao Body, and did not rush to the island. Instead, he followed etiquette and waited for the Golden Core Stage monks stationed on the island to notice and fly out to meet him.

Li Fan clasped his fists and shouted at the top of his lungs, "A certain Nanhai cultivator, known as the red-haired ghost Li Tang! I have recently practiced in seclusion, made a breakthrough, and achieved great success! I heard that the Penglai Immortal Sect is recruiting people, and I want to recommend myself to the Immortal Sect. I will serve you under my sect! Please recommend me!”
