White hair grows on the temples, and years flow like water!

The Ghost King looked away from the mirror-like surface of the water, sighed slightly, turned around, and said with a smile: "I haven't looked in the mirror for a long time, but when I saw it today, I saw a few more white hairs."

Gui Li, who was standing behind him, said calmly: "You are too worried."

At this moment, on the bank of a small lake in Huqi Mountain, a stone pavilion was built in the middle of the lake. There was only an old wooden bridge connecting to the shore of the lake. The Ghost King and Gui Li were standing in the stone pavilion in the middle of the lake.

The Ghost King put his hands behind his back and looked calm, saying: "I heard that when I went to Kongsang Mountain this time, although the Blood Refining Hall was subdued, the only remaining wild dog Taoist who refused to surrender was saved by you. Is there any way?

This matter?"

Gui Li glanced at the Ghost King, but saw that his face looked peaceful, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He nodded slowly and said: "Not bad."

The Ghost King smiled, turned around and looked at the jade-green lake, and said calmly: "In the past, you led attacks and killed everyone. Why did you show mercy to this person today?"

Gui Li was silent for a moment and said: "Although the Blood Refining Hall is in decline now, it was the leader's sect after all eight hundred years ago. It is no ordinary sect."

The Ghost King stood there, but there was no reaction. It was not known whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with this explanation. After a while, he suddenly said: "Speaking of the magic weapon in your hand, the blood-devouring bead belongs to the black-hearted old man.

Relics, counting you and the Blood Refining Hall, I’m afraid there is some incense attached to them.”

Gui Li slowly raised his eyes and looked towards the Ghost King, but the Ghost King just turned around and looked towards him.

Their eyes collided in mid-air. Gui Li's eyes were cold, but Ghost King's eyes were deep and peaceful.

The Ghost King suddenly smiled and said, "Recently, it is said that a strange treasure was born in the Death Swamp in the West. Do you know about it?"

Gui Li nodded and said, "Yes, I heard about it."

The Ghost King leisurely said: "I heard that not only those in the right way are flocking away, but also the masters from the Wandu Sect and the Hehuan Sect are planning to intervene. As for the Changsheng Hall whose main hall is near the Death Swamp, they are even more willing to do their part." He paused,

Xiang Gui said sharply: "What do you think?"

However, Gui Li did not speak immediately and remained silent for a long time. The Ghost King seemed to be very patient with him and showed no signs of anxiety. After a long while, Gui Li slowly said: "This time we have conquered the Blood Refining Hall, except for four people in the sect.

Apart from the big factions, the last more powerful faction has also been carved up."

A smile appeared on the corner of the Ghost King's mouth, and he nodded: "Not bad."

Gui Li said: "In the Demon Sect, there has always been a strong alliance, and the four major sects all want to annex each other. In the past, they were forced to jointly resist foreign enemies due to external forces from the righteous path. Now, it is naturally different from those years ago. And now the forces in the sect are gradually arranged, and further steps will be taken.

, it’s just a fierce battle between the four major factions, I just don’t know who will take action first?”

The Ghost King held up his palm and smiled: "Okay, okay! That's good."

Gui Li glanced at him and said calmly: "In the past ten years, you have not only taught me two volumes of the Book of Heaven, but you have also passed down all your knowledge, strategies and decisions in your life, one by one. If I can't even see this, wouldn't I be let down?"

Your painstaking efforts."

The Ghost King looked at the young man in front of him with a smile, as if he were looking at a perfect and precious object made by himself. There was a hint of pride in his joy, and he just heard him say: "That's not entirely true. I pass you things, but you have to rely on them.

You can understand it yourself. The speed with which you have progressed over the years is beyond my expectation. I thought that with your qualifications, you would have to practice for at least thirty years. Unexpectedly, it only took ten years for you to achieve great success.

Rare, rare!”

After receiving such praise from the Ghost King, there seemed to be no smile on Gui Li's face, as if this was not something worth being happy about.

However, the Ghost King didn't care. Over the years, the man in front of him had changed from Zhang Xiaofan back then to Ghost Li today. His past temperament had been completely changed. Except for his appearance, there was almost no trace of the past.

He paused for a moment and said: "In your opinion, since the four major factions in our Holy Religion are bound to fight each other, do you think it is better for us to take action first? Or should we wait quietly?"

This time, Gui Li did not hesitate at all and immediately said: "Strike first!"

The Ghost King stared at him and said: "Okay! Which faction do you think we should deal with first?"

Ghost said sharply: "Changshengtang!"

The Ghost King frowned, but there was admiration in his eyes, and he asked: "Why?"

Gui Li said: "Now the Ghost King Sect and the Wandu Sect are the strongest, followed by the Hehuan Sect and Changsheng Hall. The Hehuan Sect has always been low-key, but the leader of the Changsheng Hall, Yu Yangzi, although high in moral character, is arrogant and arrogant. He has always regarded Qingyun Mountain as the

In the battle between good and evil, the host thinks he is the only one in the demon sect. If he is such an idiot, who else can he choose?"

The Ghost King smiled slightly and said: "Yes, that's good. So if you were to host it, how would you proceed?"

Gui Li pondered for a moment and said: "This is a good opportunity. There is a strange treasure in the death swamp. Yu Yangzi will definitely regard it as a treasure and will never allow outsiders to get involved. But the people of the right way are flocking here, we can wait.

The Changsheng Hall and Zhengdao are in conflict, and when both sides suffer losses, they secretly connect with the Wandu Sect and the Hehuan Sect to attack together. They will definitely not refuse to add insult to injury. Such a battle will definitely be successful!"

The Ghost King looked at him and said nothing.

Gui Li slowly raised his head, looked at the Ghost King, and said calmly: "What?"

The Ghost King seemed to be in a trance when he looked at him. He woke up after a moment and slowly looked back. As if sighing deep in his heart, he said lightly: "No, what you said is almost the same as what I thought."

Gui Li stopped talking.

The Ghost King smiled calmly and said, "You have two more days of rest, then go to the Death Swamp!" After saying that, he took a sealed envelope from his arms, handed it to Ghost Li, and said, "I will make the specific arrangements.

I have made it clear in this letter. After arriving in the Great Swamp, all the characters in the Ghost King Sect will be at your disposal."

Gui Li slowly took the letter and put it in his arms. He was silent for a moment, nodded to the Ghost King, and then turned and left. But just after he had taken a few steps, he suddenly heard the Ghost King say behind him: "There is one more thing.

…”

Gui Li stopped.

The ghost king's voice came slowly, saying: "When you are talking to me, how do you call our holy sect, or do you call us 'devil sect'?"

Gui Li was silent for a long time, and said coldly: "I have been a religious member for ten years, and here I have been fighting and fighting all day long. There are intrigues, intrigues, and intrigues all the time. How can I be worthy of being named a saint?"

The Ghost King laughed, and then said: "Oh! So what about the righteous path you came from?"

Gui Li's body seemed to tremble slightly, and after a moment, he only heard him say: "The evil things people in the righteous way do are no worse than those in the devil's sect!"

The Ghost King looked at him with great interest and said: "Then this is not the case, and that is not the case. What do you think is 'righteousness'?"

Gui Li didn't answer. He was silent for a long time, then raised his head and looked at the sky.

Blue sky, white clouds.

"I don't know!" he said in a low voice, as if talking to himself.

After the lonely and desolate figure from behind gradually faded away, the smile on the Ghost King's face slowly disappeared. His deep eyes seemed to be shining with mysterious light, shining non-stop, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

?

At this time, a voice came from the other side and said: "Sect Master, I..."

The Ghost King interrupted him and said: "Qinglong, come up!"

"Yes." Qinglong walked over from the wooden bridge, followed the Ghost King's gaze into the distance, and said, "Was the deputy sect master here just now?"

The Ghost King nodded and said, "What's the matter?"

Qinglong said: "The old monster from Wan Du Sect secretly sent someone over again to ask the sect leader when he will send his men into the Death Swamp, so that we can work together to accomplish great things?"

The Ghost King sneered and said, "Answer them. Three days later, the Ghost King Sect, the Wandu Sect, and the Hehuan Sect will enter the lake together."

Qinglong nodded and said: "Okay."

The Ghost King pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and turned to Qinglong: "Qinglong, what do you think of Ghost Li?"

Qinglong was startled and raised his eyes to look at the Ghost King. He saw that the Ghost King's brows were peaceful, but his eyes were deep and invisible. He felt an unreasonable chill in his heart and for a moment he forgot to answer.

The Ghost King smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

Qinglong woke up with a start, and then he pondered, but there was some hesitation in his expression. The Ghost King saw it in his eyes and smiled: "Qinglong, you and I have known each other for many years. If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it."

Qinglong shook his head and smiled bitterly, then said: "Let's put it this way! When I was his age, my moral conduct was not as high as his, and my city was not as deep as his..."

At this point, he suddenly stopped. The Ghost King frowned and said, "What's wrong? If there's anything else, just tell me!"

Qinglong hesitated for a moment, looked at the Ghost King, and said: "The methods are not as ruthless as his!"

The Ghost King glanced at him, but didn't say anything. He slowly turned around and looked at the mirror-blue lake. Qinglong was behind him and said slowly: "Over the years, especially in the past two years, Ghost Li's methods have become more and more serious."

He has become more and more fierce and fierce, killing people at every turn, and is even more ruthless in power struggles. Moreover, among the younger generation of our Ghost King Sect, all the more outstanding talents, such as the monk Shasheng, Yan Hui and others, have gathered under his sect."

The Ghost King said calmly: "Do you think this is bad?"

Qinglong slowly shook his head and said: "No, it's just that back then...why did he become like this now?"

The Ghost King was silent for a while and suddenly said: "Actually, I also misjudged it at the beginning."

Qinglong was shocked and said: "Sect Master, what did you say?"

Ghost King said: "When I taught him the two volumes of the Heavenly Book, I thought that given his qualifications, it would take at least thirty years to achieve success. However, in these ten years, especially the last five years, Gui Li's practice has advanced by leaps and bounds. It can be said that he has made rapid progress.

, I’m afraid he’s showing off his inner self, and even I didn’t notice it!”

When he said this, an unknown cold light seemed to flash in his eyes that had been facing away from Qinglong, but his tone did not change at all: "He has a persevering temperament, perseverance, and has made great achievements in cultivating Taoism."

It is very beneficial, but I still doubt that there are other reasons."

Qinglong frowned and said, "Does he have any other secrets?"

The Ghost King shook his head and said, "You should know that he possesses the true Dharma of Qingyun Sect Taoism and the Great Brahma Prajna of Tianyin Temple, right?"

Qinglong nodded and said: "Not bad."

The Ghost King said slowly: "From what I have observed in secret, not only has he achieved great success in the true Dharma of our Holy Heavenly Book, but he has also made rapid progress in the Qingyun Sect's Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao and the Buddhist Prajna Prajna Dharma. These three sects have also made rapid progress.

Does the true method secretly have miraculous effects that complement each other?"
