The place we agreed with Fu Yusheng was by a small river.
The time is three quarters of a hour.
At this time of year everything was quiet, but the sky was unexpectedly bright.
There are even more snowflakes falling, lighting up the world.
Jiang Ran let out a breath, and the white mist lingered like a sword.
Stretch out your hand, wait for the snowflakes to fall on your palm, and then quietly run the Lengyue Dharma to prevent the snowflakes from melting away...
Today's time has reached the ugly time.
It's not that Jiang Ran is immature and came here to play with snowflakes in the middle of the night.
It's really boring.
The agreed time has passed, and there is still no trace of Fu Yusheng.
Jiang Ran's ability to hold back from yawning was a sign of respect for the disciples of the seven sects who were hiding around him.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiuwu had already slept against the tree trunk for three nights.
Is this guy not afraid of getting cold?
Tang Huayi sat not far from Jiang Ran and glanced up at him:
"Why haven't you come yet?"
"If you don't come, there's a reason why you didn't come."
Jiang Ran chuckled:
"As for the reason... I guess we will know it soon."
"How soon?"
Tang Huayi was obviously bored and was teasing Meng Zi.
Jiang Ran ignored her. When she was about to ask, she saw Jiang Ran raise his head and look into the distance.
Upon seeing this, Tang Hua stood up, walked to Jiang Ran's side, and went to take a look with him.
Sure enough, a moment later, a figure with a body like a spear was flying over.
It's just that he was not very fast. Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi held their necks and looked at each other for a while before he came forward.
It was at this time that Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi noticed that he was covered in blood.
“It’s time to spend a lot of money!”
Jiang Ran sighed in his heart, and then quickly stepped forward:
"Captain Chang...what's wrong with you?"
He asked himself whether his tone or emotion was expressed just right.
Lieutenant Chang held Jiang Ran's arm tightly:
"Jiang...Jiang Daxia...I, I am finally alive...alive to see you..."
After he finished speaking, his head suddenly tilted, and a mouthful of blood popped out.
The whole person fell into a coma.
"Officer Chang, Captain Chang!!"
Jiang Ran shook him gently: "How could this be?"
At the same time, the incident here caused a group of people who were reading and napping in the tree to wake up.
He flew up and came to the front.
Li Xiuwu was born in Jiuzhen Temple, and there are medical skills inherited in Jiuzhen Temple. He immediately stretched out his hand to feel his pulse:
"This man was seriously injured...he must be treated as soon as possible.
"The person who is chasing him is probably not far away. Everyone, protect me!"
After saying this, he dragged Captain Chang away from Jiang Ran and stretched out a hand to press on Captain Chang's back.
The internal energy immediately rolled into Captain Chang's body.
But for a moment, there was white mist hovering above the two people's heads.
Others were not idle either. Li Xiuwu asked them to protect the Dharma, and they took it seriously.
Even Zhao Ansheng, who usually dealt with Li Xiu, guarded a corner honestly.
Only Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi took a step back.
Tang Hua's intention was in Jiang Ran's ears, and he lowered his voice very low:
"This is a bitter trick."
"You are really smart……"
"How do I feel that you are making fun of me?"
"Take out the words 'how I feel'."
"..."
Tang Huayi almost showed her true colors in anger.
He glared at Jiang Ran fiercely:
"He spent so much money because he really wanted to make this show a success.
"If you reveal it too early, won't he look a little pitiful?"
"I was really looking forward to what you said."
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows:
"Do you think he will cry when I expose him?"
"I don't know if he will cry, but I know he will definitely die..."
The two men whispered to each other.
Fu Yusheng over there had already opened his eyes in a daze.
He glanced around and was stunned.
I thought it would be Jiang Ran who would heal him, but who are these people in front of me?
In shock, he almost used martial arts to reveal the secret.
Fortunately, he recognized Dong Qingcheng, so he forcibly restrained himself and said in a pretended panic:
"Who are you...?"
"Captain Chang, don't panic."
Dong Qingcheng and Weiwei cupped their fists:
"I am Dong Qingcheng of the Fierce Sword Sect."
"ah?"
Fu Yusheng's face suddenly showed surprise and joy:
"Dong Daxia, it's really you!
"My Majesty Huweijun Chang Heng! We had a chance encounter a few nights ago! But we didn't know that Hero Jiang..."
When he said this, he turned around and saw Jiang Ran walking towards here with Tang Huayi not far away.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Jiang Ran say in a deep voice:
"Who hurt you?"
Fu Yusheng sighed after hearing this:
"This matter... it's a long story."
"Then keep your story short."
Jiang Ran was not polite to him either.
Li Xiuwu and others looked at each other and did not rush to introduce themselves. They stepped aside a little and listened to the remaining voices.
Fu Yusheng seemed to have sorted things out before he said:
"A few days ago, Daxia Jiang entered the iron mine in disguise and rescued the heroes of the Chongshan Sect.
"Before leaving, he slapped me... When I woke up, I was no longer where I was.
"But in a clean room.
"It was those people who saved me.
“They were always spying secretly, but fortunately, no flaws were revealed in what they did that day.
"It's just that for some reason, they didn't show up that night to take action.
“And after this battle, I finally gained their trust.
“That’s when I found out their origins!”
Everyone present looked at each other. They all knew about what happened a few days ago from Dong Qingcheng.
Now that I hear what he said, I am very curious, what is the origin of this group of people?
Fu Yusheng did not show off to everyone present:
"They...are the Demon Cult!!"
As soon as the word "Demon Cult" came out of his mouth, Li Xiuwu and others couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Monk Fahui even clasped his hands together:
"Amitabha!"
Zhao Ansheng took a step forward:
"You mean the Demon Cult?"
"Exactly."
Fu Yusheng glanced at him and actually recognized Zhao Ansheng's identity.
There is a blue sect in the sky who is responsible for the world's intelligence. The masters of the First Sect, the Second Society, the Five Swords, the Seven Sects and the Thirteen Gangs, as well as the laymen from all walks of life, are all on the list.
Zhao Ansheng is the number one master among the younger generation of Qianjun Academy. As the leader of the Heavenly Que Lei Department, how can he not understand why?
He was so surprised that he couldn't tell the difference, and now he had recognized everyone around him.
However, he recognized it, but he couldn't show it. Instead, he asked with some surprise:
"Who are you, Your Excellency?"
"Zhao Ansheng of Qianjun Academy."
Zhao Ansheng cupped his hands as a salute, and then asked:
"Is what you are talking about really the Demon Sect? A hundred years ago, Chu Nanfeng, the best master in the world, had beaten the Demon Sect to pieces. For many years, it has been unable to scale.
"We, the righteous people, have been traveling around the world, searching for the whereabouts of the remnants of the demon sect.
"It's a pity that there is no trace at all. Could it be that they are here in Guzhang County?"
Li Xiuwu from Jiuzhen Temple snorted:
"Qianjun Academy... looks like this."
"What did you say?"
Zhao Ansheng was furious: "Li Xiuwu, if you and I don't deal with each other on weekdays, I can tolerate you, but today you humiliated Xiaosheng's disciples, do you want to fight me to the death?"
The world attaches great importance to those who follow their masters.
Respecting teachers and respecting morality is not an empty phrase.
Li Xiuwu's words were indeed enough to create a deadly feud.
After Zhao Ansheng said this, Li Xiuwu seemed to feel that what he said was a bit too much, and his face changed a little.
But he was not willing to show weakness and apologize, so he snorted:
"It seems that you really don't know that there was a battle with the Demon Cult decades ago..."
"Decades ago?"
Everyone present was stunned.
Jiang Ran observed Tang Huayi's expression and saw that her expression had indeed changed.
Zhao Ansheng frowned:
"You made it clear!"
"Hey...that's all. Seeing that you are usually unlearned and unskilled, I will tell you about this past today."
Li Xiuwu deliberately behaved arrogantly and almost made Zhao Ansheng angry to death again.
"Decades ago, the demon sect, which had been shattered by the old hero Chu, showed signs of recovery again.
"In the devil's sect, the centipede is dead but not stiff.
"How can it be so easy to completely annihilate them? Their teaching is that the demons are at ease. If the human heart does not die, the demons will never be destroyed.
"It's just that these people act secretly and are not known to outsiders.
"But again, they are members of the Demon Cult after all... their ideas are different from ordinary people.
"Take pleasure in teasing the common people.
"After re-establishing its scale, within a few years, the Demon Lord suddenly had a whim and felt that the peaceful world and peaceful world were inconsistent with the laws of heaven and earth."
Having said this, Jiang Ran couldn't help but ask:
"What are the laws of heaven and earth?"
"Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs."
Li Xiuwu blurted out and then smiled:
"Just kidding...but since the birth of living beings, there have been sufferings from time to time.
“It’s either a disaster of war or a natural disaster.
"Good weather lasts for thousands of years, but it is rare.
"Is it possible that the world is peaceful and the people are happy, so where can the disaster come from?
"This Demon Lord of the Demon Cult feels that this does not comply with the rules of heaven and earth.
“Since God doesn’t punish you, then they will punish you on behalf of God!
"Then they did something..."
When he said this, several people present didn't know what they thought of. Some people's faces suddenly turned pale, and some people's eyes widened with disbelief.
Even Jiang Ran took a deep breath:
"You want to say...the war between the five kingdoms?"
"clever!!"
Li Xiuwu immediately clapped his hands:
"Daxia Jiang is indeed Daxia Jiang. Dong Qingcheng said that you are smart and courageous, but I still don't believe it. Now it seems that this is true. You really dare to think that.
"It is these five kingdoms that are in chaos!
"Everyone in the world thinks that the war in the Five Kingdoms is a problem between countries, but they don't know that the beginning of all this comes from the Demon Lord of the Demon Cult!
"Since there is no natural disaster, then there will be a man-made disaster.
"It will bring disaster to the whole world, and there will be millions of corpses floating around. If this happens, won't this man be in trouble?"
"absurd!!"
Zhao Ansheng stood up first:
"You are just talking nonsense!
"As the saying goes, the general trend of the world will be divided if it is divided for a long time, and it will be united if it is united for a long time.
"It is common to divide and unite. In the past, the five countries were peaceful, but they all had strong soldiers and horses. It was inevitable that they could not bear loneliness and wanted to expand their territories.
"The Five-Nation War is about to break out.
"How can a small demon sect control it?"
"Then you underestimate the Demon Cult too much."
Li Xiuwu smiled coldly:
"Did you know... that the Demon Cult once had a Demon Kingdom!?"
"Demon Kingdom?"
Zhao Ansheng was stunned:
"Why, I never heard of it?"
"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, but you are actually stepping on the territory of the Demon Kingdom in the past."
"Are you trying to say that the Jin Chan Dynasty was captured from the Demon Cult in the past?"
Zhao Ansheng felt that he was greatly shocked and could not believe that all this was true.
But Li Xiuwu seemed to want to die without saying anything shocking.
He shook his head slightly:
"It's not the Jin Chan Dynasty! It's the five major countries!
"In today's world, the five major dynasties were once unified, and that was the Demon Kingdom of the past!!!"
"Nonsense and monstrous words to confuse the public!!"
Zhao Ansheng sweated heavily on his forehead:
"I just don't know what to say! The Demon Cult is indeed powerful, but if you want to say that they once dominated the world in the past, then I won't believe anything you say.
"The Kingdom of Demons... is simply lies!!"
"Believe it or not."
Li Xiuwu curled his lips:
"I am just telling you today that I know this secret. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.
"However, the war between the Five Kingdoms in the past was definitely started by the Demon Cult.
"It's just that this matter is too big...
"It involves five countries and involves countless lives. Even the Demon Sect cannot bear the consequences of the incident.
"Therefore, before the chaos of the Five Kingdoms ended, the demon sect had been wiped out by the imperial court."
"Court?"
Dong Qingcheng was a little surprised.
"What happened to the court?"
Li Xiu looked at him with an angry look:
"You don't really think that there are no masters in the imperial court, do you?
"Zhao Ansheng, as a disciple of Qianjun Academy, you must have heard of the saying that you can sell your martial arts skills to the emperor's family, right?
"Haven't you seen that people like Jiang Daxia are also working as knife hunters?
"Don't underestimate gold, silver and wealth, let alone glory and wealth."
Jiang Ran smiled when he heard this:
"This makes sense. If you say so, there are many masters in Dauchi."
"That's natural."
Li Xiuwu saw that Jiang Ran was not mocking him, nor did he mind that his words were disrespectful to him, but he actually had a good impression of Jiang Ran.
He smiled and said:
"Master Jiang, don't blame me for being outspoken. It's just that these ignorant people are so annoying."
"..."
Is it your turn to say this?
But in fact, Li Xiuwu's words shocked everyone present.
Although they feel that they cannot believe everything, if there is even the slightest bit of it, then this demon sect, which was originally extremely terrifying in their minds, is now even more unpredictable.
They dared to provoke a chaotic war among the five countries with all their heart.
They also once conquered the world and established an extremely large demon kingdom.
But if they were really so powerful, how did this demon kingdom dissipate back then?
After the Demon Kingdom dissipated, how did it become the Demon Cult?
What kind of ability did Chu Nanfeng have back then to be able to break such a demonic sect into pieces?
Not much is known about the battle decades ago.
What price did the court pay for this?
These questions are spreading in my mind.
Finally, everyone looked at Fu Yusheng.
Fu Yusheng almost burst into tears... The words he had been preparing for several days almost couldn't be said because of a demon sect.
Who would have thought that just after he mentioned a demon sect, Li Xiuwu would say something like this.
If they hadn't looked at him, Fu Yusheng would have almost forgotten what he was going to do, and would have just been surprised and shocked with everyone else.
After coming back to his senses, he quickly waved his hand:
"This... the demon sect in Guzhang County is not as powerful as you say..."
"Don't underestimate it!"
Zhao Ansheng's face was as dark as water. He had been ridiculed several times by Li Xiuwu tonight. He was really embarrassed.
Fu Yusheng nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would never underestimate them.
Jiang Ran said:
"In that case, Lieutenant Chang, please continue."
Everyone also nodded.
Although Li Xiuwu's words sound scary, no one can tell how much is true and how much is false.
I'm afraid even Li Xiuwu himself doesn't know.
I was just repeating to everyone the records I saw that I didn’t know were true or false.
There's no need to be brooding all the time.
The key now is still with the ‘Captain Chang’.
Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Huayi.
There was something different in her eyes, which she hid very well.
But Jiang Ran knew her very well, so he could see clearly.
I'm afraid Li Xiuwu's words were not without purpose...
There is some truth in the lack of protection.
Fu Yusheng continued to speak:
"They claim to be members of the Demon Sect Wenxinzhai...the reason why they are in Guzhang County is because of the iron mine.
"I didn't understand it before, but now after listening to Li Shaoxia's words, I finally realized it.
"By raising so many weapons, they are afraid that they will imitate the chaos of the Five Kingdoms and want to provoke chaos in the world!"
"..."
Zhao Ansheng frowned.
He didn't want to admit the truth of this matter.
But now, Fu Yusheng's words and Li Xiuwu's words corresponded to each other invisibly.
It made him unable to refute.
Monk Fahui sighed sadly:
"Amitabha.
"All living beings have been suffering from the devil's teachings for a long time. We must not allow this devil, who is causing harm to the world, to continue to be so rampant.
"I will have the angry eyes of King Kong to subjugate demons! Only then will I live up to what I have learned!"
"What the great monk said makes sense."
Li Xiuwu nodded repeatedly, then looked at Fu Yusheng:
"You keep talking."
Fu Yusheng also nodded quickly:
"I also found out that the poison they used was called 'Hell's Life'.
"The antidote is in their hands... If you want to save my brothers, you can only get the antidote from their hands."
"After all the talk, I didn't get to the point."
Li Xiuwu's eyes darkened:
"Where are these remnants of the demon sect now?"
"If you think about it, you have heard something..."
Fu Yu said in a deep voice:
"It's the Wang family in Guzhang County!
"The Wang family came to Guzhang County three years ago, and in the blink of an eye, they became the richest man in Guzhang County.
"It's precisely because they are the remnants of the Demon Sect's Wenxinzhai lineage!!"
