Due to geographical deviation, it has already entered the second half of the night on Cangyun Mountain, far away from the desert in the Western Region, and it has not been long since nightfall.
In the abandoned stone house, the aroma filled the air. The wolf meat was cooked. Long Tianshan was feasting on it. Ye Xiaochuan also ate several pieces of wolf meat, but Yun Qiyou didn't take a bite.
It wasn't that the wolf meat wasn't delicious enough under Long Tianshan's cooking, but that she was full after eating four golden-armored scorpions.
Yun Qiyou spoke very little, and most of the time, Ye Xiaochuan and Long Tianshan were talking.
As the conversation progressed, the two men seemed to have a feeling of sympathy for each other.
Although Ye Xiaochuan looks very miserable now and his appearance cannot be clearly seen, Long Tianshan is greatly impressed by his experience and understanding of good and evil.
For a while, the conversation between the two of them started.
Ye Xiaochuan asked: "Brother Long, I heard that you came out of the West Sea this time for the Blood Soul Sect's upcoming young sect leader canonization ceremony.
Could it be that Brother Long still hasn't put down that chair in his heart after all these years?"
Long Tianshan smiled and said: "The same applies to people who practice Taoism. People have seven emotions and six desires. The desire for power is also one of the desires that humans cannot let go of."
Ye Xiaochuan looked at Longtian Mountain and suddenly shook his head and said: "Brother Long has settled in Xihai for many years, and he has always wanted to ask. This desire for power is not strong for Brother Long.
Brother Long's free and easy attitude is rare in this world. Before Brother Long's words just now, I thought you were here to compete for the supreme position of the Blood Soul Sect and get back what you lost back then.
After what Brother Long said, I can confirm that you have no such thoughts."
Long Tianshan smiled and said: "Oh, since I'm not fighting for that chair, then in Brother Ye's opinion, why should I go out?"
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Since it has nothing to do with the desire for power, it is mostly for friendship.
Brother Long lives in a corner, and he doesn't have many close friends. This kind of friendship is probably not the main reason for you to leave the mountain.
Then only women are left.
I think you may have come out because of women."
Long Tianshan's smile gradually solidified and became a little bitter.
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty. It seems that Brother Long has a lot of affection for the eldest grandson of his junior sister, Fairy Yuxiu, Wuchen."
Long Tianshan said: "You really know a lot."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "It is not difficult to speculate that there are only three young people in the Blood Soul Sect who are qualified to compete for the throne of the Young Sect Leader.
Apart from Brother Long, the only remaining ones are Fairy Nishang Liu Huachang, the direct female disciple of Old Man Mo Lin, and Fairy Yuxiu’s eldest grandson Wuchen, who is the true disciple of Yuchi Jing enshrined by the Blood Soul Sect elder.
Over the years, Fairy Nishang has been in charge of the outside world, and Fairy Yuxiu has been in charge of the inside.
Fairy Nishang became famous at a young age. She was one of the six fairies in the world and was extremely famous.
But Fairy Yuxiu is not bad either. She and Fairy Nishang are known as the peerless twins of the Blood Soul Sect.
Many years ago, I once met Fairy Yuxiu in Cangyun Mountain. She was truly beautiful and fragrant, and I felt pity for her.
Brother Long has not come out of the mountain due to the catastrophe in the world. I think the only person who can make Brother Long come out of the mountain is a beauty like Fairy Yuxiu."
Long Tianshan stroked his palm and said, "If Mo Lin could have Brother Ye's thoughts, he wouldn't be so guarded against me.
Brother Ye, do you think Wuchen can defeat Nishang?"
Ye Xiaochuan shook his head.
Long Tianshan said: "No?
Maybe Brother Ye doesn't know the rules of our holy religion. Our holy religion has always respected strength.
During the process of establishing a young sect leader, if someone of the same generation feels that his or her Taoism is superior to that of the other party, he or she can come to the stage to challenge him.
Wuchen's cultivation is far superior to that of Nishang, and she will not lose in the challenge."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Brother Long participated in the last Duan Tianya Dou Fu, Fairy Yuxiu participated in the one after Brother Long, and Fairy Nishang participated in the previous one. In terms of age and time of cultivation,
The colorful fairies are all at a disadvantage.
I believe Fairy Yuxiu’s Taoism is superior to Fairy Nishang, but after all, Fairy Nishang is Mo Lin’s true disciple and has many supporters.
If one's personal cultivation strength can really determine the successor, Brother Long would not have been driven out of Bachi Mountain by Mo Lin back then, so that Brother Long has been living overseas for more than a hundred years.
In the end, what really determines who can sit on that chair is overall strength."
Long Tianshan said: "Does Wuchen have no chance at all?
Wuchen has been operating in the Blood Soul Sect for many years, and there are many people who support her."
Ye Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "As long as Old Man Mo Lin doesn't die, no matter how many people support him, it won't help.
If Brother Long's master, Old Sect Leader Mo, had not died in the battle at Piaomiao Peak, no matter how powerful Old Man Mo Lin was, he would not have succeeded in stealing the throne.
In the final analysis, the key lies in two words, orthodoxy.
Only orthodox inheritance can convince the public.
The so-called orthodox inheritance in the sect refers to the arbitrariness of the Sacred Heart of the previous generation of sect leaders.
If you want to deviate from the orthodox inheritance and steal the throne through force, you can only succeed after the person in charge of the previous generation dies."
Long Tianshan let out a long sigh and said: "Brother Ye is absolutely right. If my master had not died in Piaomiao Pavilion, Mo Lin would not have had a chance.
It’s a pity that I didn’t see through all this until I was over a hundred years old, but Brother Ye has already seen through it at such a young age. I admire it, I admire it.”
These two words of admiration contain so much bitter memories.
I don’t know how much grudges and hatreds are mixed in.
Only when you see through it can you let it go.
Now that Long Tianshan has let go of his obsession, he can surpass those who can't see through others and lead the way in cultivating Taoism.
If he was as smart as Ye Xiaochuan and saw through all this earlier, he wouldn't have been pondered by his inner demons for decades.
Ye Xiaochuan asked: "Brother Long, are you really going to Bachi Mountain?"
Long Tianshan said: "As brother Ye said, Wuchen is very important to me. No matter what the outcome is, I must go.
In a battle for suzerainty, there is always only one winner. Once this begins, there is no possibility of turning back.
Between Wuchen and Nishang, only one person can survive.
I went to Bachi Mountain because I wanted to live a dust-free life.
If Wuchen dies, I will die with her."
Yun Qiyou, who had been sitting in the corner of the stone house, slowly raised his head when he heard this.
It seemed that for the first time, he was facing the big devil of the devil sect.
Ye Xiaochuan secretly thought something was wrong.
Old Man Mo Lin is still alive. Fairy Yuxiu has little hope of success in the battle for Bachi Mountain.
In the battle for the right to inherit the throne, the loser means death.
This Long Tianshan is a man of temperament, and it can be seen that he has a deep affection for Fairy Yuxiu. If Fairy Yuxiu fails and dies, this guy will definitely die with her.
This is not possible.
He also wanted to recruit experts like Long Tianshan for his own use, but he couldn't die on Bachi Mountain.
A deeply affectionate person like Long Tianshan cannot be persuaded.
I can only think of another way.
So Ye Xiaochuan said in surprise: "Brother Long, I am very interested in the canonization of your demon sect. I wonder if you can let me go with you to Bachi Mountain to see the world."
