This is where the mountain gate of Danqing Gate is located. There are three earth veins intersecting underground, and the spiritual energy is quite abundant.
Four or five mountains are stacked on top of each other, and there are also several steep and beautiful peaks.
Two figures came closer from a distance and stopped in front of the mountain.
"This Yuquan Mountain is the foundation of our sect. Since the founder of our sect established the Danqing Sect here eight hundred years ago, he has experienced a lot of hardships!"
Zhang Ke looked at Yuquan Mountain carefully and was about to enter the mountain gate. He couldn't make any mistakes at this moment.
After more than ten days of detailed conversations with Zhang Changyan, Zhang Ke finally had a general understanding of Zhongyu.
There are seven kingdoms in the Central Region: Xia, Liang, Cang, Lan, Chu, Chang, and Dai. Their national power varies from strong to weak.
Each country has its own unique features. For example, the country of Liang attaches great importance to law, and the domestic Legalist school is relatively powerful.
The country of 'Dai' is located near the northwest, and the shamans and immortals in the area are highly respected by the people.
Among the seven kingdoms, the one with the strongest Chinese power is Daxia. There are many schools in the country contending, with Confucianism, Legalism, and Military being the most powerful.
Its land area is larger than that of the other two countries combined.
The other four countries also have their own characteristics. The two countries of "Lan" and "Chu" are close to the sea, their commerce and trade are relatively developed, and their people's lives are relatively prosperous.
The two countries "Cang" and "Chang" are adjacent to each other, and due to certain historical reasons, wars often occur.
Therefore, these two countries attach great importance to military strategists and are recognized as countries with stronger military force.
As for the rest of the many small vassal states, they were affiliated with these countries, and they all prospered and suffered.
Through understanding, Zhang Ke learned that more than a hundred years ago, the Central Territory also implemented the nine-level sect system.
There are seven high-grade sects, each of which manages the seven major countries in the Central Region.
Because of this, Zhang Ke discovered the biggest difference between the Central Region and the Eastern Region.
The Eastern Region is mainly dominated by Taoism, and the exercises practiced by more than 60% of the sects are derived from the Taoist lineage.
But the situation in the Central Region is different. The top-grade sects are okay, and most of them are Taoist.
But in various countries, there are many schools such as Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism, Military, Agriculture, Zao, Yin and Yang, etc. competing for glory.
These schools have just emerged less than a thousand years ago, and their followers are very special, belonging to both practitioners and ordinary people.
They are said to be practitioners because they can also leverage the power of the laws of heaven and earth to cast spells.
We say they are ordinary people because they cannot gain long life through practice.
Zhang Ke deduced that the reason why these people can use magic is probably because of the power of faith of the people in the country as a medium.
Since you accept the benefits of this belief, you will naturally also pay a certain price.
For example, ‘lifespan’!
However, even if their life span is not long, they are still passed down from generation to generation.
Every family has a theory, and countless ideas spread to every corner of the Central Territory and the hearts of the people along with these people.
Many measures are promoting the development of Zhongyu and affecting everyone's survival and life.
However, in this process, the forces of the spiritual cultivation world headed by Taoism were not involved.
The influence of traditional spiritual practice is being diluted, separated, and transferred bit by bit.
Zhang Ke was extremely keenly aware of this huge hidden danger in the Central Territory.
When you are in a dispensable state in everyone's eyes, it means that you have been forgotten.
If it were in the Eastern Region, then every initiative in every city must be initiated and participated by the sect.
Therefore, the people and the sect are like fish and water, inseparable from each other.
But in the Central Region, the power of Taoism has not been truly integrated into the world, and there is a huge separation between it and the people.
Just like oil and water, they seem to fit together, but in fact, a little catalysis will inevitably cause drastic changes.
Moreover, as the saying goes, "There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country."
The current situation in the Central Region is that every country has a sect on its head.
But you asked the king, who is accustomed to life and death, to act carefully based on people's faces.
Is this normal?
Zhang Ke had a hunch that with the rapid development of these emerging schools.
Sooner or later, the traditional cultivation power of the Central Region will collide with these emerging schools.
Moreover, this day is destined not to last long.
Because Zhang Ke discovered that all countries have one thing in common.
That is, each country has a department specifically for monks, which is used to deal with various special events caused by monks.
This department was established basically around a thousand years ago.
what does that mean?
This means that the traditional influence that can unite people's hearts, such as slaying demons and demons, is gradually being replaced.
When this power reaches its peak, it will definitely be the time when you can only see the enemy with your sword and see the red with the sword.
Zhang Ke didn't believe that the high-level practitioners in the middle realm couldn't see these changes clearly.
But no one cares about the overall situation that affects the future of countless practitioners.
Zhang Ke vaguely sensed that there must be a powerful plan that he could not predict, which made him feel a little creepy.
I made up my mind to leave this huge whirlpool that could swallow everyone as soon as I found the whereabouts of Tushan.
Danqingmen belongs to the 'Bian' state, which is a vassal state, and above it belongs to the 'Dalan' state.
The four people with the highest cultivation level within the sect are led by Xie Shilun. In addition, there are more than 300 people in the Xiantian realm, as well as many outer sect disciples.
Because there is no True Lord of Yuanshen in the sect, Danqing Sect cannot enter the ninth-grade sect sequence, and can only be said to be a miscellaneous sect.
The real people in the Golden Core Realm except the two who have fallen.
There is also a founder, Zhonggu Zhenren, whose life is approaching the end of his life. He lives in seclusion on the ‘Silver Hook’ Peak all year round and does not leave unless necessary.
Zhang Ke carefully observed everything on Yuquan Mountain using the 'Heaven Seeing and Earth Hearing' and the 'Spirit Probe'.
In his mind, he secretly corresponded one by one with the information Zhang Changyan told him.
At the same time, the two of them spread out their body skills and flew towards the mountain. Not long after, they arrived outside the mountain gate.
There are no prominent archways or buildings, just a simple monument erected on the side of the mountain road.
——Danqing——
At this moment, two disciples, a man and a woman, were guarding in front of the mountain gate, and they saw their figures.
He quickly stepped forward and saluted:
"Disciples Jing Zixin and Ju Shuihua pay their respects to Master Xie and Master Zhang!"
At this time, Zhang Ke is still in the form of a toddler.
He wears a platinum mask on his face and a lavender robe, which is Xie Shilun's favorite color.
"Well! Are you two on duty today?"
Zhang Changyan asked casually with a look of sadness on his face.
The two disciples replied respectfully: "It's the two disciples!"
Zhang Kechong nodded slightly to the two of them, without saying anything, and walked towards the mountain.
Xie Shilun's physical appearance often changed due to the exercises, so his personality became a little weird and he didn't like to talk to others.
The disciples within the sect have long been accustomed to this strange behavior and have not found anything wrong with it.
The two of them walked quickly and soon arrived at the Qingyan Palace where the Danqing Gate was discussing matters.
Zhang Ke traveled all the way and found that it was indeed a sect worthy of its reputation as a sect.
Whether it is the scenery or the architecture, every arrangement inside the mountain gate is unique and has a pleasing beauty.
The same is true for Qingyan Palace, even though it is a place for discussion.
But both the architecture and the palace furnishings have an indescribable artistic conception that is extremely harmonious with nature.
Entering the main hall, Zhang Changyan called over two deacon disciples.
"Go down! The whole sect is dead. Master Xin Zhou has fallen!"
The two disciples were shaken all over, with looks of horror on their faces.
"Xin...Uncle Xin, fell...died???"
Zhang Changyan nodded sadly, and the two disciples stumbled out of the hall.
Not long after, bells rang one after another.
"Dang——! Dong——! Dong——!..."
Nine bells ring!
All the Danqing sect disciples who heard the bells understood that something big must have happened within the sect.
"Puff puff!"
The sound of hurried footsteps gradually increased from few to heavy, from light to heavy. The messy footsteps reflected the anxious mentality of many disciples.
A quarter of an hour later.
All the disciples of the Danqing Sect in the sect have arrived at this moment.
Even Zhonggu Zhenren was alarmed and sent someone to ask what happened.
The head of the Danqing Sect is named Zuo Wenshi, who was born to maintain a level of cultivation.
As soon as he heard the bell ringing, he rushed to the main hall and asked Zhang Changyan and Zhang Ke's incarnation Xie Shilun what happened.
Seeing that all the disciples had arrived, Zuo Wenshi came to the front of the hall.
He solemnly said: "Uncle Xin went out to save the people and died fighting the evil cultivators of the 'Red Robe Society'.
From now on, the whole sect will stop all festive activities to mourn Master Xin!"
Zuo Wenshi said a few words briefly, and Zhang Changyan spoke again to encourage and spur the disciples.
After most of the disciples left, Zhang Ke followed Zhang Changyan's instructions and imitated Xie Shilun's tone of voice.
"Junior Brother Zhang! Now I am injured and need to recuperate for a few days. You can take charge of the affairs of the family!"
Zhang Changyan nodded and said:
"Senior Brother, please rest assured and cultivate yourself. After these few days of busy work, I will go see Senior Brother again!"
Zhang Ke nodded, walked away with short legs, and followed Zhang Changyan's instructions to return directly to the 'Moon Exploration Peak'.
This peak is extremely steep, a hundred feet high. Danqingmen has no property here, so few people come here.
Xie Shilun originally chose to live here because of its tranquility.
Near the peak of the mountain, a cave was excavated against the mountain, where Xie Shilun lived.
There are layers of restrictions on the cave, and no one other than yourself can enter.
But how could he stop Zhang Ke? His fingertips flashed with five colors of light, and then he brought his five fingers together and made a random stroke towards the restriction.
Silently, the restrictions quietly collapsed.
Looking up at the word "Yangxu" engraved on the top of the cave, Zhang Ke stepped up and entered the cave.
The cave is very simple. In addition to the living room and living room, there are only study rooms, warehouses and a wide training ground.
I walked around and got to know the cave a lot.
Zhang Ke did not have any thoughts about the magic weapons and various resources left by Xie Shilun, but went directly to the study.
The study room is very large, with dozens of rows of bookshelves filled to the brim. Most of the classics have annotations and insights left by Xie Shilun.
This is what Zhang Ke values. If you want to impersonate a person, you must first understand his thoughts.
And here, Xie Shilun left the most breath.
Zhang Ke read all the classics carefully and figured them out one by one based on Xie Shilun's annotations.
