Xuanjian Immortal Clan

Li Jiangqian waited for more than a day. Cui Jueyin came in quickly from outside the palace. He seemed to have calmed down. He saluted, showed a calm attitude again, and said:

"Master, the second young master has arrived outside the palace."

"Invite him in."

Li Jiangqian responded, and Cui Jueyin immediately stepped back. After a while, a person came up from outside the hall.

This man was dressed in commoner clothes and plain boots. He only had a sword on his waist. He was simple and unpretentious. He was already in the late stage of Qi training. His brows were full of ease, as if he was a casual cultivator who came out of the temple and came to Li Jiangqian. He bowed down in front and said respectfully:

"I've met the head of the family!"

Li Jianglong has managed Funan to be stable and prosperous over the years. There has never been a single turmoil among loose cultivators and demonic cultivators. Not only has he isolated the turbulent situation in Jiangbei beyond the river, it has also resolved the troubles in the north of the Li family. A small number, it can be said to be extremely competent.

He and his third brother Li Jiangxia were able to maintain stability in the situation where Li Ximing and Li Zhouwei left home one after another. If there were no three brothers in the family, I don't know how much trouble would have occurred.

Li Jiangqian glanced at him with a smile, waved his hand gently, and all the court guards on the left and right retreated, closing the main and side doors of the hall tightly, the dharma lamp flickered, and there were only two people left in the hall. Li Jiangqian put away his smile and said from He quickly stepped down from his position and helped Li Jianglong up.

He mused:

"The purpose of inviting my second brother back this time is to give up the Funan boundary."

It goes without saying how much effort Li Jianglong put into the Funan Realm. He was almost defeated by his words. After calming down for a while, he frowned and asked:

"Master, this is..."

Li Jiangqian said:

"The true king will be reincarnated in Jiangbei, in the land of Sanxi."

Li Jianglong glanced at him blankly.

Li Jiangqian shook his head and said:

"It was Zhang Duanyan of the Jinyu Sect, the True Lord of the Northern Sect, who personally came to give the order."

After saying these three sentences, Li Jianglong's calming skills were completed. His pupils were dilated and a look of disbelief appeared on his face. After a few breaths, he asked:

"Chu Yi back then?"

"good."

Li Jiangqian responded, led him up, spread out the map on the case, and roughly explained the orders of the Jin Yu Sect. Li Jianglong's expression only became solemn, and he said:

"If this matter is not handled well, it will be a serious matter that will affect tens of millions of people and lead to the death of their families."

Li Jiangqian nodded and replied:

"Second brother knows Funan best. What kind of situation and how to sort it out is the troublesome thing."

Li Jianglong thought for a while, looked at the map, and said:

"When Fuyun Cave was destroyed, the people were plundered by the two caves. They have not recovered yet. My family's command in Fuyun Cave revolves around the Lingtian Spirit Vein. Most of them are stationed by monks from other places. It is not difficult to escape... Once we evacuate, the ground will There are only a few monks among the sparse population, there is no village or shop, and self-governance is a problem. "

"If my family releases this land, the Duxian Dao will also release it to Midong. The aristocratic families on the other side of Midong are intertwined. Many immortal sects in the south and north of the Yangtze River have planted people. The population is dense, and Funan will be annexed quickly."

The land of Midong is difficult to control. The fundamental problems lie in two points. First, the aristocratic family has a huge population. Second, each sect has a gate wall to recruit direct descendants, supporting local snakes to purchase and plunder the spiritual objects in Jiangbei at low prices. Of course, Li Jiangqian Understood and asked:

"Based on your understanding of Jiangbei, how will the situation in Eastern Mi develop? Can these aristocratic families get the news?"

Li Jianglong thought deeply:

"It must not be possible. All the sects will stop and go back. The reason why local snakes are local snakes is that the clan lineage is huge and spreads both inside and outside. The family lineage is not limited and will not decline, so that the good and the bad are mixed. Although it is difficult to eradicate, it can no longer escape, even if There are clansmen who are cultivating immortals in the Immortal Sect...at worst, they will be abolished, and at worst, they will be punished and killed..."

Li Jiangqian thought:

"I think there are also evils in putting death to death. If this clan declines from now on, and destiny happens to be here, something will happen. Since we have said to go to Qilu, let's go to Qilu. What we should be afraid of most is the forces in the north. , the immortal sects will be cut off, but not too ruthlessly, and there must always be a way out. "

Li Jianglong looked at his brother's expression and replied:

"My little brother didn't think carefully, so there's no need to convict him. Just bring harm to others. If something happens someday, just push the scapegoat out. Since he's not going south, it's easy to prevaricate."

"That's the truth."

The two brothers stared at the picture, and Li Jianglong thought:

"Funan doesn't involve much, but there are still a few local cultivators who are difficult to deal with. But it's easy to find an excuse. I gave the spiritual objects and returned them. After a while, I told them in advance that my family will be evacuated. The Duxian is coming. He He took his whole family and fled for his life."

"There are also a few monks who are romantically involved in the local area and have children. These people are considered as scattered monks in Jiangbei. They took away the entire village without leaving a dog or a duck behind."

The Li family has many monks from Jiangbei. Fortunately, most of them are casual monks, so they are easy to solve. Li Jiangqian nodded secretly, but heard a soft knock at the palace door, stopped talking, and Qu Wushi came down below with a look of surprise on his face. Report:

"My master, the extremely shameless Duxian Dao... has sent a demon guest to visit!"

Li Jiangqian frowned and asked:

"So early? It's not like that... How many people are you taking with you? It hasn't been spread, right?"

Qu Bushi was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue and said hesitantly:

"The demon...well...the man from Duxian...came alone and showed up outside the continent...asking someone to convey it secretly...I understand that this matter is not trivial, so no one has ever seen it."

Li Jiangqian breathed a sigh of relief and replied:

"Ask him to come up from the side hall so that no one can see him."

Qu Bushi hurriedly retreated. After half a stick of incense, he saw a middle-aged man coming in from outside the hall. He was originally handsome in white, but his appearance changed as he stepped into the hall. He had high eyebrows and deep eyes, and a black Taoist robe on his waist. Wearing a silk ribbon, he arrived at the palace with a bitter look on his face and sighed:

"I've met the head of the family!"

Li Jiangqian nodded slightly and said in a neutral tone:

"It turns out to be the master of Duxian Sect."

It turned out to be Gong Xiao, the director of Duxian Sect, who came in person!

Guan Gong Xiao didn't have any temper at the moment. He was a good-tempered person, so he didn't say anything more. He shook his head and replied:

"Now that this matter is coming, there is no longer any prejudice between the two families. My family came here from overseas and have never seen anything like this before. I just accepted the order and came to see the head of the family immediately."

The boundary of Duxian Dao is even north of Sanxi. The situation is much more embarrassing than that of the Li family. Guan Gongxiao is naturally anxious. He is not the only one. I am afraid that Xuanmiaoguan and Shengyunmen will not be much better.

Li Jiangqian no longer cared about him at this moment, and just asked:

"Does the real person have any orders?"

Guan Gongxiao shook his head silently, fell silent for a while, and replied:

"My real family has been in seclusion for many years and is not in Jiangbei."

Ye Hui's absence in Jiangbei is not something to hide. All sects have the situation of Zi Mansion being away all year round, especially those without the reputation of Taiyang Taoism. The fewer Zi Mansion there are, the less likely they are to stay in one place permanently. Xiao of the Xiao family The real person has not returned to Jiangnan for many years, but the Xiao family is as stable as Mount Tai.

But after Li Jiangqian heard this, he thought about it:

'No wonder this guy came here in a hurry... It turns out that a real person went out to retreat. I don't know how many years he has been in retreat. This matter is not simple. It is impossible to say that Ye Hui has been in retreat for ten years. When he came out of retreat, he found that there was a surname of Bai Ye. No one cares anymore. ’

‘It seems like Jin Yu saved Duxian Taoism. ’

He then turned sideways, asked him to sit down beside him, and introduced:

"This is Jianglong, my younger brother."

Guan Gongxiao shook his head and said:

"I have heard about your brother's reputation. Wang He was in charge of Midong earlier, and he came to complain every three days. Later, it became even more troublesome."

Neither brother accepted his words. Guan Gong Xiao stood up and said:

"I came here, and first I have something to explain to the nobles."

He looked solemn and said seriously:

"My real family has never had any ill intentions towards the nobles. He tried his best to deal with Chang Xiao's incident and secretly helped him, just to keep the nobles as much as possible... Maybe the head of the family thinks it's ridiculous, but he can say something that doesn't sit well with him..."

"Even if the nobles hold grudges for nothing, my real family still hopes that Chang Xiao will have another blood feud, and the last thing he wants to see is that your father is killed... Even if the fatal part is pinched in someone's hands, he still tries to remind him secretly, that's why. "

He whispered:

"No matter what the relationship between the two families is, my family sincerely hopes that the two families will have the same position on the matter of Changxiao Gate."

Li Jiangqian was silent for a moment. He was not Li Ximing himself and had no understanding of the situation at that time. The best way was to say nothing and just said:

"This is not something I can bring up. I can only wait for real people to communicate. The current matter is the most important."

Guan Gongxiao sat down and nodded, and Li Jiangqian said:

"The noble gate of Mi Dong is to be surrendered, but it is not good to have mountains full of trees. Firstly, there needs to be a leader, and everything will end with him in the end. Secondly, there needs to be a monster who can let the adults have fun and save having to make up for it elsewhere. Thirdly...you and I must have a reason for withdrawing from this place, and we must be able to put things in order and not make others suspicious. "

Guan Gongxiao nodded and replied:

"Monsters are not in a hurry. As long as a realm is vacant for a year or two, they will naturally come out. There are still several demon generals in the Fanyun realm. They need to be dealt with, and the leader is easy to find. The most greedy ones in the world are greedy. That's the third point. , it is indeed a problem, and the Midong family are not fools. Both parties quit together, and they have already sensed something was wrong. "

Li Jiangqian thought for a moment and whispered:

"There is no way out of this matter. All we need is an excuse."

He used the formation to pass the order, and Qu Bushi came up from outside immediately. Seeing Guan Gong Xiao sitting beside him, the three of them seemed to be in a harmonious atmosphere, with smiles on their faces. They felt shocked in their hearts, and said:

"I've met the head of the family, the young master, and the head of the sect."

Guan Gongxiao took a sip of tea and replied:

"The master of that sect is Gong Xiao from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River."

Although Gong Xiao didn't even change into the sect master's clothes, he didn't realize that the three of them were laughing, nodding and apologizing. Li Jiangqian paused for a moment and said:

"Fellow Daoist Gong has brought news. There is a secret order in the north of the Yangtze River. It is said that there is a high-ranking cultivator. The holder of the order can establish a Taoist lineage here. It also involves the Zifu Lingzang. Even we and Duxian Dao can't stop it. You Send someone to look for it immediately and dig three feet into the ground to find this thing."

Qu Bushi wiped his sweat and nodded. Guan Gong Xiao smiled slightly and ordered:

"I heard that this rumor spread like the wind. A direct descendant of Duxian Dao revealed it after being drunk. That direct descendant has been imprisoned now. No one in Sanjiang does not know about it. Now it is too late on the lake to know, so hurry up stop."

Qu Bushi was also an old man from Jiangbei. He had never heard of this thing before. Combining Li Jiangqian's previous meaning, he understood and replied:

"Old slave must have taken care of this matter!"

He retreated hastily, and Li Jiangqian said:

"The noble family will fight with my family first in Funan. We will withdraw our people and clear the land, and fight across the river on the other side, forcing the nobles' men to rush to help from the other side. The two sides will confront each other and pretend to be fighting."

"Funan has been abandoned by my family at this time. All we need here is an ambitious Donghai Foundation Builder, and we can give him some kind of sect leader token of the Mipan Taoist lineage. The Purple Mansion's path is ahead, how can we not be tempted?" "

"As long as he dares to try...my family will immediately send gifts, and the Midong family of your sect will go south to offer soil. We hit it off immediately."

Guan Gongxiao nodded repeatedly and replied:

"What a great idea, what a great idea! My family has a lot of connections in the East China Sea, and it's easy to get information. I have quite a few of them."

Li Jiangqian nodded with a smile. He was quite pleased with him and replied:

"To attract ambitious people, it depends on your family."

As for spreading rumors and being imprisoned for everything, there is no need to say more about this matter. Guan Gong Xiao will take care of it. Li Jianglong thought for a while and finally felt a little uneasy. He looked at his brother and asked:

"It's just that the real person is not here, things may not go as we expected... Once we get the token, if we are a little more cautious, time will be delayed."

Li Jiangqian shook his head and said quietly:

"We don't need to consider this matter... Since someone has promoted it, the rumors must be more true than the truth. One, two or even more scapegoats, everyone is happy to hear about it."

The two nodded one after another, and Guan Gong Xiao said:

"Anyway, in my humble opinion, I'm afraid we have to look for King Bei Jinjiang."

At the mention of this fan of the dragon genus, both of them frowned. Li Jiangqian looked thoughtful and said:

"I'm afraid he is also thinking about changing things. It is absolutely not advisable to stay here. Leave the matter of this demon king to me."

"good!"

Guan Gongxiao smiled brightly and raised his glass to the two of them. The two orthodox traditions, which were life-and-death enemies in the hearts of the outside world, actually drank tea with each other like old friends for many years. Guan Gongxiao whispered:

"This matter needs to be communicated frequently in the future. I may not be able to come often, and it is easy to expose myself. The disciples will disguise themselves and come with orders to spread my words. The same is true on the lake."

Li Jiangqian nodded, and the two of them didn't care about the polite etiquette of sending him off. They just bowed their hands to him, and Guan Gong Xiao stepped out of the door. His appearance had completely changed, and he was sent out by his servant.

Li Jianglong watched him leave with an uncertain expression, and Li Jiangqian also became suspicious:

‘During the turmoil on the east coast, Duxian Dao indeed restrained itself significantly... Later, they also sent people to take the initiative to ease the situation and sent An Hufa back. I don’t know how true or false this was. ’

He stared at the map on the shore and suddenly recalled:

"Zhang Duanyan hid a bit in his words. When he talked about affiliations, he didn't seem to mention Duxian Taoism... He mentioned it in order, but bypassed this one. Duxian Taoism does not start with the word "Xuan"..."
