"Yan Jidao, you can be exempted. How can I be qualified, with you as my senior brother?...Besides, when it comes to ranking...are you worthy?"
In the crowd opposite, a Taoist in white shirt said softly.
His face was no longer as calm and indifferent as before. He looked at the old man in front of him, with a faint cyan luster in his eyes.
As he spoke, with each additional word, the bright red at the center of his eyebrows became more prominent, and in the end, it turned into a burning flame mark.
"Since you and I started, no matter the sect competition, the Taihuai River Conference, or even the Taoist selection, which one have you defeated me in?"
There was some complexity and reminiscence in his eyes, followed by more anger and indignation.
"If it weren't for the master's partiality...manipulating the inheritance and giving me an incomplete inheritance, how could I have been trapped by the master for so long!"
"The world only knows me, Luo Minfei, as a Taoist disciple of Qingtian Temple. I became famous at a young age, suffered setbacks in my youth, and finally disappeared from everyone. In order to seek a breakthrough, I apostatized and left the sect. I am truly a wolf-hearted person."
"It's okay for outsiders to slander me. After all, those mediocre people have never experienced what it feels like for a proud man of heaven to fall into the mortal world.
What does his opinion have to do with me?
But why does Master treat me like that? I feel sorry for his misfortune, but he is angry that he doesn’t argue with me. His words are pleasant and his reasoning is clear. Have you ever considered me?"
“In fact, it disappointed everyone.
Even if the road ahead is cut off, I, Luo Minfei, can still find a way to survive! Even if the inheritance is incomplete, I, Luo Minfei, can make up for it!
After leaving the Qingtian Sect, my life is actually better."
At the end of the speech, Luo Minfei calmed down, and there was no longer any fluctuation in his eyes, only the flame between his eyebrows kept burning.
"Junior brother, you... misunderstood Master." Yan Jidao sighed softly,
"Master has always been concerned about your cultivation progress privately. The Blue Emperor's Sutra of Immortality that you practice is an ancient classic, but there are only some parts missing. His original thought was that your talent and talent would be enough to complete it...
"
"Don't you realize that even if you are trapped in a realm and have been unable to break through, or even been deprived of your position as a Taoist disciple by the sect, you still have enough resources to support you?"
Luo Minfei was speechless.
"Junior brother, come back. Leave Universal Religion. In Qingtian Temple, you will still be the outstanding, unrestrained and unrestrained Luo Qingjun."
Yan Jidao took two steps forward and spoke softly.
He looked at Luo Minfei, who was actually younger than before, with some expectation in his eyes.
In my mind, memories of the past appeared frame by frame.
As the morning light faded, the two men fought swords on the mountain peak. After a fierce battle, they fell to the ground from exhaustion and lay on the grass, provoking each other's progress.
When they go on a mission, the two brothers work together to kill the enemy and travel around the world.
If I could go back to the past, it would be great...
"Then senior brother... have you ever thought about what will happen if I fail to complete the inheritance?"
Suddenly, Luo Minfei said softly.
Without waiting for Yan Jidao to answer, he continued to talk to himself:
"I will fall from the proud man of heaven, who is famous in Kyushu, to the dust of the earth. No one can step on me."
Finally, two hundred years later, Manpao was unwilling and turned into dust and was buried."
"Can not go back."
He shook his head,
"If I really want to go back, I will go find him and repay me for the thirty years of... blocking my way!"
Luo Minfei closed his eyes slightly and felt a fire burning in his heart.
For the first time, the Hankui Burning World Sutra and the Qingdi Immortality Sutra in his body were running so smoothly together. The flame mark between his eyebrows became more and more scorching, and the green meaning in his pupils was as bright as ever.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yan Jidao and his group with a calm expression:
"In the previous discussion, Luo felt deeply regretful that he had not done his full work because of something in his heart. Now that the knot has been resolved, I am bold...to ask you for advice!"
"Luo Minfei, could it be that you have lost your mind and gone crazy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong man over two meters tall, wearing strong armor and holding a painted halberd stepped out and said coldly.
"Don't talk about asking for advice. Today, your universal teaching in Ningyang will become history!"
Luo Minfei didn't speak, his expression remained calm.
The Universal Sect members beside him also had no trace of solemnity on their faces. Instead, they looked at Yan Jidao and others jokingly.
Extremely abnormal.
This made Zhou Shengjun on the opposite side feel slightly uncomfortable.
"The Green Emperor governs life, follows the rules, reverses life and death, and the Shuluo Realm approaches!"
Luo Minfei groaned softly.
"boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless green energies condensed into substance burst out from his body.
In an instant, the crown of her hair cracked, and her head of black hair flew up in the wind.
Countless young shoots were unearthed from under Luo Minfei's feet, and then grew wildly. In the blink of an eye, dragon-like trees rose into the sky and flew in all directions.
Among them, several of the thickest wooden dragons blasted towards Zhou Shengjun and his party with great speed.
"Grandmaster?!"
Someone exclaimed and immediately wanted to resist, but it was too late.
The wooden dragons were so fast, even faster than the speed of sound, that they followed people and hit them as if they were alive.
A black shadow suddenly appeared and fell on him in an instant.
Except for Yan Jidao's last figure, which turned into an afterimage and disappeared from the place.
The rest of the people flew backwards under the impact, coughing up blood all the way, and landed in the jungle dozens of meters away, startling a large group of carrion crows, and felt as if their bones were being shaken apart.
Strange force blasted into the body, the energy and blood were frozen, and the energy of mind was also imprisoned.
In one blow, everyone lost their fighting ability.
The power of the great master is so terrifying.
"Junior Brother Luo, I didn't expect... you would be one step ahead of me again."
In the distance, Yan Ji said with the sound of an urn.
He also completely changed his appearance.
His height soared to more than three meters, and he looked like a child again, returning to his youthful appearance.
He was holding a long sword that shone with green light, and green light patterns continued to explode around him, turning into circles.
Yan Jidao looked at Luo Minfei, who was looking calm in the distance, with complicated eyes.
He really didn't expect that Luo Minfei, who had fought with him more than ten times in the past few days and was almost evenly matched, would break through Xiaoyao Tian and become a grand master, reaching the same level as his master.
"Next, during this period of time, I ask you all to retreat ten miles with Muhe River as the boundary. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed without mercy!"
Luo Minfei did not look at Yan Jidao, but said softly.
In the blink of an eye, countless thick wooden dragons intertwined their roots, leaving a wooden river more than ten meters thick in front of the mountain.
Yan Jidao took a deep look at Luo Minfei and said nothing. He just flicked his sleeves, picked up Zhou Shengjun and his group who were seriously injured and fell to the ground, and disappeared from the spot.
He had no intention of resisting, although he expected that Luo Minfei, who had been holding back until now, would suddenly reveal his strength, must have an agenda.
But since his great master's strength was revealed, nothing mattered anymore.
While the winner is determined on the Grandmaster-level battlefield, the outcome of the battlefield on the other side is naturally self-evident.
The coalition forces of Zhou Shengjun and the three Ningyang families were defeated, leaving corpses on the ground and hurriedly fled.
on site.
Everyone in the Universal Church is cleaning up the mess and sorting out the battlefield.
A hundred meters away from the battlefield, on a hill.
Several figures stood on top, looking at the Universal Cult people below and beyond.
"Qingfeng, is the news confirmed?"
Luo Minfei stood with his hands behind his hands and asked softly.
He has long hair shawl, a thin face, and the red marks between his brows, making him look a bit monstrous.
A tall, middle-aged man with bulging muscles and only one eye responded:
"The news has been verified. The cause of that thing, Qingfeng's side, has finally awakened.
It’s just that it seems like someone is secretly probing.”
The strong man hesitated after speaking.
"There is no need to worry. His awakening is a foregone conclusion. Even the true king cannot change it. Arrange it quickly and wait for the final revolution of the sun and the moon, and the reorganization of the mountains and rivers."
Luo Minfei shook his head and didn't care.
"yes!"
…………
December of the forty-seventh year of Qi Guang.
Ningyang County, Yamen Office.
At this time, outside the city, Zhou Sheng's army camp, which was originally stationed outside Dalong Mountain, had already evacuated and returned to the city to garrison closely.
In front of the city, there are arrow towers, horse-proof ditches, and several defensive means arranged among them, all of which reveal the seriousness of the situation of defending the city.
Inside the city, the atmosphere at Zhou Shengjun's Yamen was even more solemn.
Zhou Junjie was sitting on the main throne, his expression extremely ugly.
As Zhou Shengjun and the flag envoy of Huaiping County, he should not be here.
However, due to universal religious reasons, as early as a few months ago, the army was mobilized, and Ningyang was also established as a temporary military command flag.
And he, Zhou Junjie, served as the flag bearer.
I thought it was a task that was easy to capture and could be regarded as a meritorious task, but I didn't expect that something went wrong near the end...
He took a deep breath and looked at everyone in the hall.
"Everyone, what do you think of the tragic defeat at Dalong Mountain?"
Having said that, he focused his attention on Yan Jidao on the left and Yiseng and Yiyi on the right.
No one answered.
"Taoist Master Yan, maybe you can contact Guiguan to help?"
He turned around and looked at Yan Jidao, who was resting beside him with his eyes closed, and asked softly.
After the news came that Luo Minfei had become a Grand Master, he went from being in disbelief at first to being inexplicably shocked and finally feeling unable to cope with it.
If we say that a strong master is a powerful person with quite a reputation in a state.
After all, its lifespan of hundreds of years is enough to leave its own legends everywhere.
Then a great master can truly be said to be sitting in the state, watching the sky change and the clouds go away, the spring and autumn changing colors, watching the sky go away and the clouds mourning, and the wind and rain coming first.
Looking down under the white clouds, all the loess is buried.
It is enough to support a famous clan and stabilize a first- and second-rate sect.
There are very few such existences even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is impossible to bring them here at will.
For the current plan, we naturally have to rely on those large sect members.
After Yan Jidao heard this, he slowly opened his eyes with the same helpless look on his face.
Qingtian Temple is a major sect in Yuzhou, and its status is comparable to that of Lingtai and Qianshan in Huaizhou.
However, due to the many tribulations in Yuzhou and the simultaneous uprisings, after several incidents, the background has become much worse.
Even he was just in a bad mood, traveling in Huaizhou, and then happened to learn that Luo Minfei, his former junior brother, was here, so he came here.
How can you spare the time to support Zhou Junjie across state lines?
But he didn't expect that the former Junior Brother Luo could break through that realm.
You know, a great master, even in Qingtian Temple, is still qualified to serve as the temple leader...
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Zhou Zhangqi. Now that I'm dealing with the main force of the Universal Cult and suppressing the beast tide in Ten Thousand Beast Ridge, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay attention to Huaizhou for the time being."
Yan Jidao shook his head and admitted frankly.
In fact, he even felt that there was no need to stay in Ningyang anymore.
Zhou Junjie frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. After all, he really couldn't care about Yuzhou Qingtian Temple, so he could only look at the monk beside him.
Lingtai and Qianshan sects are both first-class sects with True Lords in charge, and they have a very close relationship with Zhou Shengjun, so they may be able to gain something.
If he didn't return, he would be disappointed after all.
The two were silent for a while, but they said ambiguously:
"I will report this matter to the sect as soon as possible. I believe there will be a reply soon. However, the matter related to the realm of the Grand Master is serious and may need to be considered in the long term. Now it is best... to station in Ningyang."
No definite answer was given.
Zhou Junjie sighed, waved helplessly, and looked at a handsome young man sitting down,
"Then let's do this for the time being. Starting tomorrow, preparations for the population evacuation of Ningyang County will begin. How about evacuation to surrounding counties and Cheng Yuan will be responsible for it?"
Now that we have decided to garrison the city, there is no guarantee that the Universal Sect will attack the city again, so we naturally have to make arrangements for the rear.
The young man looked solemn, stood up, and nodded solemnly.
"yes."
"We must do a good job in handing over the work to the people. Recently, the higher-ups have been very strict."
Zhou Junjie specifically warned.
"I will arrange it myself." Xu Chengyuan nodded.
His mood was a little complicated.
Unexpectedly, the people of Ningyang could not escape the fate of leaving their hometown in the end.
For these ordinary people, the cost of living in a foreign country is too high.
We can only hope that the many benevolent orders that Yuhou suddenly issued some time ago can be truly implemented.
Perhaps only in this way can ordinary people at the lowest level have some hope in life.
After sending several people from the three original Ningyang families to carry out logistical tasks, Zhou Junjie finally sighed again:
"The last thing is, although we can't stop Universalism from outside, I want to know what its intentions are. If we can find out and prescribe the right medicine, we may be able to reverse the situation."
"Pindao will lead a Feng Yi team to conduct reconnaissance in person." Qianshan Sect Master held a whisk in his hand and said in a deep voice.
"The same is true for the poor monk." The Lingtai Sect monk also nodded.
"Then I'll help you all."
Zhou Junjie nodded solemnly.
Afterwards, various orders were issued continuously, and the whole of Ningyang began to move.
At this time, Dayan Mountain was thousands of miles away.
at dusk.
Lin Mo finally joined Lin Yuantian and walked through hundreds of households.
At first, in his opinion, such visits were not too easy.
After all, you will more or less be harshly criticized and even abused.
But what Lin Mo didn't expect was that he didn't even get a decent cold face from hundreds of households when he visited them door to door.
As soon as I walked in, everyone was greeted with smiles and warm greetings. In fact, one senior family member even enthusiastically wanted to be Lin Mo's matchmaker.
This was somewhat different from what he initially thought.
"Isn't that surprising?"
Lin Yuantian seemed to notice Lin Mo's confusion and asked softly with a smile.
Lin Mo was silent for a while and nodded.
He really didn't understand something.
"In general, the old have someone to rely on and the young have someone to support them. If you can do these two sentences well, you will naturally be loved. This is also a necessary factor for a family to truly grow."
Lin Yuantian said softly.
Suddenly I thought of something and smiled again,
"Actually, this is what your grandfather told me back then."
"If a family wants to go from being the hegemon of the village, to the magnate of the county, to the leader of the county, and finally to establish a famous clan and build a family, the most important thing they need, besides strength, is cohesion.
It’s a pity that his old man was so greedy that he spent decades trying to drag Lin to the top of the village and soon to become the county magnate. Unfortunately, in the end, he didn’t have enough background and all the previous efforts were wasted.”
