Chapter 224: Determining the Gathering Potential (Repair)
Shortly after Zhang Yu returned to Shouzheng Palace, Taoist priest Ming Zhou sent him three hundred and fifty minutes of Xuanliang on the orders of Xuanting in recognition of his achievements on this return.
This time, he attacked the enemy from outside and eliminated internal troubles. This was clearly a result of his duty of uprightness, so there was no dispute about this merit in the court.
After he collected the mysterious food, he sent a message to where the clone was, and he returned to the dojo to continue his retreat.
After receiving the news, the Dongting guard incarnation ordered people to invite Yuan Xin.
Yuan Xin came to the star platform, looked up and said: "Is there any care for keeping upright?"
Zhang Yudao: "Senior Brother Yuan, I would like to thank you for coming to report not long ago. Now that the matter has been resolved, it is up to you to decide where you want to go."
Yuan Xin had obviously thought about this issue. He said, "I wonder if Yuan is practicing Taoism in Dongting?"
In the past, after Ruiguang came out of Dongting, there were not many places to go except Yanbei Bay and overseas islands. But now it is different. In addition to Anzhou and Fuzhou, there are places where magical powers are spread.
The most important thing is that the Xuanzun Zhang Yu is sitting in the East Courtyard. Within the jurisdiction of the East Courtyard, the entire world has been improved to a certain extent, which is very conducive to the practice of Taoism.
Zhang Yudao: "Of course you can, but I have a question that I would like to ask Senior Brother Yuan."
Yuan Xin said: "Shuzheng, please ask."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said: "Senior Brother Yuan is also from Dongting. When Dongting was still the Protectorate, Senior Brother Yuan was here. Did Senior Brother Yuan ever see the situation in Dongting at that time?"
Yuan Xin said: "I've seen something below."
He pondered for a moment and then said: "To be honest with Shouzheng, decades ago, after the turbid tide was cut off, most of the true cultivators died in the battle at the Honghe Pass. Later, the situation in the East Courtyard changed. The military office excluded the cultivators.
, supporting the Shenwei Army, and there is a dispute between Zhenxuan and Zhenxuan among the Taoists.
I have followed my teacher since I was a child, and I was used to practicing alone. I wanted to be alone, so I left that place early, not wanting to get involved in this muddy water."
Zhang Yudao: "I know that a monk named Tianhu under the Zhengqing sect once approached my senior brother and asked him to work with them to control Dongting with the true method, but he did not agree. I just want to ask, if Dongting really fell back then, what would happen if Dongting really fell?
Will Senior Brother Yuan take action?'
Yuan Xin raised his head and said, "Yes."
Zhang Yu looked at him for a moment, nodded, and said: "Now there is no difference between Zhenxuan and Zhenxuan in the East Courtyard. Senior brother can rest assured to practice here."
Yuan Xin gave a slap in the face and retreated.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Lu Xingjie, the angel of Shangchen who was stationed in the outer layer, handed Xuan Ting a letter of inquiry. This question was to ask Tianxia why he killed Su Zhan, the master of Tianxuan in Shangchen, for no reason.
When Xuan Ting saw Chen Tian's attitude, he knew that he was not ready for a full-scale war. The most important thing was that the hanging needle on the rooftop did not move.
And the rest is nothing more than a rhetorical debate.
Tianxia wants to look for evidence from within, and naturally there is plenty of it.
Although those monks who attacked Lingguan died, they were not created out of thin air. There are traces of their deeds and messages. Even if they are hidden, they will still leave traces.
It would not be difficult for Xuan Ting to find out where he came from.
Xuan Ting actually didn't need to prove anything to Chentian, he just wanted to let the people of Tianxia know that he was justified.
And this is indeed the case. If they want to deal with Shang Chentian, they can just fight directly. Why do they need to find any excuses?
But Xuan Ting also had a clear judgment. This time Shang Chentian's plan was defeated again, and the possibility of Shang Chentian recalling the Huanyang faction became greater. For this reason, after discussion, Zhu Tingzhi decided to pass on this news
to the bottom.
Because they must let the people below know what kind of opponent they will face when they come down, instead of just a single Shangchentian in the past.
And even if they don't say anything, Shang Chentian will definitely come and try to expose this matter and put pressure on Tianxia from within. Instead of waiting for this person to do it, they should take the initiative to speak out.
However, after this news came out, it also triggered a heated discussion, especially among the Xuntian Daozhang, which was discussed for more than ten days in a row.
In Dongting Xuanfu, Yue Luo finally came out of sedation after completing three days of retreat.
As her practice deepened, her retreat time also gradually extended, but fortunately, Xuan Xiu was no better than real cultivation in this regard, and would not easily last tens or hundreds of days.
Although there was no dirt on her body, she still washed and bathed, and then called out the Xuntian Daozhang with great expectation. She originally wanted to say hello to a few friends immediately, but as soon as she entered the light curtain, she saw flickering lights everywhere.
She was also startled by the eye-catching talisman, thinking something big had happened.
But when she looked carefully, she realized what had happened.
Over the past few years, Xuntian Daozhang is no longer a place for simply discussing laws. News, anecdotes, geography, and local customs from various places can be seen in Xuntian Daozhang. But now almost everyone is discussing Shang Chentian’s attempt.
The matter of recalling the Huanyang Sect.
However, one discussion caused controversy.
The person who made the comment believes that Tianxia has been too hard on Shangchentian over the years. Since Tianxia is strong, why does it have to be aggressive? Can't it be more tolerant? If you give in a little, you can avoid the problem.
To avoid disaster, lest a fight breaks out and ruin lives.
There are people below who echoed this comment and agreed with his point of view, saying that the inner layer is so vast that outside the mainland is a wasteland, so why not give Shangchentian a piece of it? If you have to fight back and forth, you will suffer a loss like an ordinary person in Tianxia.
The people also have low-level cultivators like themselves.
When Yue Luo saw such words, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth. However, she felt better after seeing the refutation below.
After she came back to her senses, she greeted Ding Ying, An Ran and others. She glanced at Taoshi's talisman and found that it was Yin. She thought to herself: "I haven't seen him since the confrontation with Shang Chentian.
It’s time for Momomi-senpai, I don’t know what happened to him, but with his abilities, he should be fine, right?”
At this moment, after the upper echelons of Shangchentian formally decided on the strategy of recalling the Huanyang sect, Patriarch Hunkong was able to accept the invitation of Shangchentian and once again came to visit the main city lord of Youcheng, Taoist Xianding.
After the two greeted each other and exchanged greetings, Ancestor Qingkong immediately revealed his intention: "I have expressed my goodwill to Tianxia many times in Heaven, but Tianxia is stubborn and unwilling to give in, so I have decided to summon Huan."
The Yang faction fights against Tianxia."
He emphasized his tone and said: "When the Huanyang Sect returns, it must unite all forces. How can you be alone? Rather than being forced to join when the time comes, it is better to form an alliance with me now."
Taoist Xianding listened to what he said, but he said calmly: "I already understand what my fellow Taoist meant. However, when it comes to the road to Youcheng, it is not necessarily the only way to go by clinging to your side. We can both go out
Tianxia can also enter Tianxia."
Taoist Hun Kong said: "The reason why you left Tianxia is just to seek freedom. If you can abide by Tianxia's rules, then why bother coming out?"
Taoist Xian Ding smiled lightly and said: "You also know that I, Qiu Cheng, am an unfettered person, and if you are here to force me, why are you not here to restrain me? At least Tian Xia has never done this before, so I am seeking my heart.
Okay, then it is better to go back to Tianxia, where at least there are still rules and there is no need to worry about one's life."
Qingkong looked at him. Although he knew that Xianding was just talking, nothing that happened in Youcheng was surprising, and he did not dare to make any judgments.
He thought for a while and realized that he could not impress the person with words. He pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you want?"
Taoist Xian Ding took out a jade talisman from his sleeve, handed it over, and said: "As long as you send these things, I, Youcheng, can agree to your request."
Taoist Hun Kong took it to look at it, and suddenly his eyes froze, and his expression was extremely solemn. He raised his head and said slowly: "I dare to ask, is this the intention of fellow Taoist Xian Ding, or is it the intention of your master?"
On top of this jade talisman, I asked Shang Chentian for several kinds of treasure materials, and these treasure materials were all extremely valuable and could not be used by the Xuanzun level at all.
He knew what this meant. Youcheng wanted to sacrifice the treasure that suppressed the road!
Shangchentian has the Qingling Tianzhi as the treasure of the town, the Yuandu Sect also has the Yuandu Xuantu, and Tianxia also has the Qingqiong Boat, but Youcheng does not have such magical weapons, so it has been repeatedly used by Shangchentian.
Forced. After all, Youcheng is just a loose alliance. It is not a sect in the first place, and naturally it has no foundation. It just relies on the support of that powerful person.
But if it has the treasure of holding the road, it will be different.
Taoist Xian Ding did not directly answer his question, but only said: "You have united with the Huanyang sect, and you dare to say that you can defeat Tianxia? If I, Youcheng, also have heavy weapons and help you, then how can you
Doesn’t it increase the chance of winning?”
Taoist Hunkong said cautiously: "This matter is too big for me to make a decision. I need to go back to the report gate and give you a reply."
Taoist Xian Ding smiled slightly and said, "I'm waiting for you, fellow Taoist."
Taoist Hunkong left Youcheng and immediately rushed back to Shangchentianzhong, where he immediately reported the incident to Taoist Lingdu.
Taoist Lingdu also feels that this matter is not a trivial matter. If it is just the intention of one's own family, it will be ignored at most, but if it is the intention of someone behind it, then it cannot be ignored.
He immediately flicked his fingers, and two light talismans flew out of the hall.
After waiting for a while, he saw two rays of light hanging down from above, one on the left and one on the right, landing at both ends of the hall. Taoist Tianhong and Guyangzi appeared from inside.
After meeting with the two people, Taoist Lingdu told them what Taoist Xianding wanted.
Taoist Tianhong looked sarcastic and said: "We are willing to bring you to Youcheng to give them face, but this person doesn't know how to advance or retreat. Do you think that if I go to Chentian and leave them, it will be difficult to achieve anything?"
Guyangzi said: "If this matter is determined, it's easy to say, but if it's that person's intention, we still need to consider it carefully." Youcheng itself is nothing, but they still have to worry about the people behind Youcheng.
A mighty one.
The Lingdu Taoist said: "What Taoist Fellow Guyang said is reasonable. My two fellow Taoists, I think it would be best to report this matter to the three Patriarchs."
