Lu Sheng slowly closed the books he was reading. Using the candlelight on the table in the sect master's study room in the Tao Palace, he picked up the copper tubes of recent sect information piled aside.
The copper tubes were stacked neatly one by one. Lu Sheng took out one, poured out the paper roll inside, and slowly unfolded it to check.
During this period of time, Chen Jingzhi was still away from home. As the head of the palace, he naturally had the right to access this information. Although the most important information could not be seen, 90% of the time he could read it at will. Without Chen Jingzhi, he would become the entire Qian
The head of Yangzong Qiuyue County spontaneously handed over all important matters to him. The rest of the people did not have the qualifications and weight to shoulder the responsibility of handling these matters.
‘The imperial capital was in turmoil, and Thirty Mingyue committed another crime, assassinating fifteen people one after another and escaping unharmed. The deputy director of the Qingluo Division was implicated and was beheaded at the entrance of the Chengying Hall.’ There were clear small words written on the scroll.
"Even the Great Yin Emperor had such murders happen, and people were able to escape easily. It seems that the world really can't hide it. Chaos is coming." Lu Sheng shook his head slightly.
He took out another copper pipe and slowly poured out the paper roll and unfolded it.
'The Ninth Yangming Army was defeated, and Lord Yanling sent the Tenth Army to support them. They were attacked halfway and were completely defeated. Lord Yanling died on the spot.'
Yanling Lord Lu Sheng was slightly attracted by it, not because of anything else, but because Yanling Lord's sister was Yuanguang Chexing.
During this period of time when he was in charge of intelligence, it was not without gains. At least he clarified the current situation in Da Yin and learned some confusing connections between people.
Today's Great Yin can be said to be plagued by internal and external troubles. The imperial court is not united and can only rely on the garrisons and princes in various places to resist. The three major families seem to have fallen into disagreements and chaos, each supporting different princes and building a weak wall.
The three sects only defended their own territory and paid no attention to the areas invaded by the demon army. This caused the demon army's disaster that should have been beaten back several times, but it has been delayed for several months now.
Lu Sheng shook his head, picked up another copper pipe, opened it and took a closer look.
'The Beiyun Sect devoted all its efforts to defeat the demon army, but there was insufficient food, so they sent people to ask for help.'
After thinking about it, Lu Sheng wrote the word "Shang" on this piece of paper, which meant that the elders of the sects in the county and city could discuss and vote among themselves.
When it comes to things like logistics, it is most important during the war. He is not familiar with the other senior officials of Qiuyue County, so it is not easy to mobilize such important things rashly.
The following copper pipes were news from all over the country. Some places were attacked by demonic disasters, resulting in heavy casualties. Some were well defended and escaped unscathed, but it only cost a lot of money and resources.
There are also tiger and wolf divisions that completely defeated the demon army, and powerful strategies that were devised to easily defeat the demon army. Because many places are too far away, some of the news that came back was from a while ago.
From Lu Sheng's point of view, although Dayin looks good in part, if you look closely at the overall situation, you can see that the overall situation is not good.
Lu Sheng used red ink to mark out the areas occupied by the demon army on the simple map he had drawn.
After marking, his expression became more solemn. On the large map in front of him, a full quarter of the territory was actually occupied by the demon army.
The only good thing is that throughout Qiuyue County, the demon army has actually gone in the opposite direction and dispersed automatically.
The situation is much safer.
But he knew that this was done by the possessed Xiao Zizhu.
With a helpless smile, Lu Sheng came to his senses. He shouldn't have bothered with this. The soldier leader above had to worry about it. What he should be worried about now was how to deal with the extremely troublesome black cult, the Black Sound Sect.
"Report!!" Suddenly a quick and joyful voice came from outside the door.
A disciple in Tsing Yi stumbled into the study, but was stopped by two masters guarding the door.
"Qing Mu, how are you acting in such a hurry!?" One of the guards clearly knew the person coming.
Taoist Qingmu's expression could not hide his fatigue, but his brows were filled with deep joy.
"Reporting to the sect master! The people from the general line are here to support the demon army's siege of the city not long ago!"
"Oh?" Lu Sheng was stunned.
Not long ago, he had gathered together a letter to pass on the appearance of a top demon strongman in Qiuyue County. It was normal for people to come to support him at this time, but he didn't know why Taoist Qingmu would be so happy.
"Let him in." Lu Sheng waved his sleeves, and immediately the two people in front of the door automatically opened their arms and let Qing Mu in.
Qingmu was also horrified. He had an Earth Yuan cultivation and was an elder in the sect, but he didn't expect that his body would be controlled without a sound. He couldn't help but pounce forward, walked to Lu Sheng, and stood firm. All of this was simply
It's not his own actions.
"I've seen Fuzong!" He was immediately convinced. He had already heard that Lu Fuzong was very powerful, and it was him who had personally taken action to defeat the major generals of the Demon Army. He was still a little skeptical at first, but at this time he was no longer suspicious.
Lu Sheng didn't take it seriously. People in this world are rarely knowledgeable. Even if he saw him fighting with the demon lord, he didn't know what level they were at. The strongest people were no more than the Earth Yuan, so you can imagine how knowledgeable they really were.
.
"Please tell me the specific situation in detail." Lu Sheng asked with a frown.
"Yes." Qingmu quickly described what he encountered in detail. Originally, Lu Sheng just thought that the arrival of an earth element or a military commander would be the limit, but he felt from Qingmu's mouth that the cultivation ability of the person who came to help showed that
The behavior and movements revealed are far more than just a simple act of wielding a soldier.
He carefully reviewed everything Qingmu said. He was about to ask for some key details, but he didn't expect that a layer of faint fragrance floated in the wind from above the Taoist palace outside the door. It seemed to be sandalwood mixed with whale oil, floral, fruity, etc.
Hodgepodge.
Lu Sheng's expression perked up and he slowly walked out of the study. He saw a man standing calmly in front of the statue of a big hand in the center of the Tao Palace. He stood with his back to him and his hands behind his back. There were faint green smoke flying around his body.
"The poor Taoist can rise to the top." The man turned around slowly, and a pair of clear, childlike eyes with clear black and white were reflected in Lu Sheng's eyes. "I have met fellow Taoist Lu."
Lu Sheng was struck by this gaze and felt a lot of dust deep in his heart, which was then gently washed away by some invisible current. It was as if all the anxiety and worries in his heart were completely washed away by this glance.
"Lu Sheng has met fellow Taoist Tongsheng." He could see that the other party did not intend to reveal his identity, so Lu Sheng clasped his fists and returned the greeting with a hint of respect.
He was only a dozen meters away from the opponent, but the core magic Yin Fire hidden deep in his soul unconsciously resonated with a certain power in the opponent's body.
After just one meeting, Lu Sheng understood that the other person was just like him, a top powerhouse who was also the Holy Lord.
Moreover, this method of ascending to the Holy Lord is much stronger than his. It even feels vaguely like the teacher is trying to trick Su Fei.
"I haven't come out for a long time, and I didn't expect that our Qianyang Sect would have another great talent." Holy Lord Tongsheng turned around with a smile on his face. He looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, but his tone was old-fashioned. I don’t know how many years I lived.
"Let's talk somewhere else." Lu Sheng stretched out his hand and made a "please" sign.
Holy Lord Tongsheng nodded happily.
*************
Qianyang Dao Palace, Desert Water Palace.
Lu Sheng and Tong Sheng sat opposite each other, with a pot of fruit tea and two cups in front of them.
The fruit tea continuously emits wisps of hot steam from the spout of the pot, releasing a light tea fragrance.
Tong Sheng looked at Lu Sheng's face and combined it with some specific information he got when he came here. He probably had an idea in his mind.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, it's really hard to support it alone. I'm here specifically for the mind-controlling demon lord Xiao Zizhu."
His identity was not exposed during this visit. Most people had never seen his face and figure, and those who had seen him would not be hanging around in a mere county.
So even now no one recognizes him as the Demon Lord.
"Actually, Lu was also lucky. I had a fight with Xiao Zizhu's ghost body not long ago. I hurt him, and he hurt me, but then he left suddenly and inexplicably. I don't understand what happened." Lu Sheng Explained truthfully.
"Leaving suddenly? According to the intelligence, why did they withdraw their team and leave?" When Tong Sheng received the call for help, he was still spreading the secret cultivation skills. But even an ascetic monk like him had heard of the mind-controlling demon master Xiao Zizhu's reputation. This ancient starry sky aristocrat has many achievements. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he will let Lu Sheng go easily.
"The only possibility is that he has internal reasons. How about Brother Lu taking Pindao to check it out in person?"
"Of course." Lu Sheng nodded quickly.
His focus is not on these. Xiao Zizhu is secretly in the same organization as him, so naturally he will not attack him again. The previous retreat was a signal.
What Lu Sheng was concerned about at this time was whether he could obtain something at the level of the Holy Lord of the Qianyang Sect from the Holy Lord Tongsheng. That bitch Su Fei had no intention of passing on the true skills at the level of the Holy Lord of the Qianyang Sect.
Although Tong Sheng was a little surprised when he heard Lu Sheng's questions, he didn't think much about it and answered Lu Sheng's questions seriously one by one.
"When we, the Holy Master, reach this realm, we are just playing around in the world of mortals. We can do whatever we want and live for two or three thousand years. This mind-controller has many identities. If he hasn't been out and about for a long time, he must have a purpose for coming here." The Ascended Holy Lord said solemnly, "As for the basic divisions of our Holy Lords, they include Gold Leaf, Jade Star, Divine Wisdom, and Fellow Daoist Lu. But in fact, no matter whether it is a Demon Lord, a Holy Lord, or a Chaos God Soldier, .To reach this point is actually to master the Fa."
"Master the method" Lu Sheng thought thoughtfully.
"That's right. People are not high or low, but laws are high and low. Different laws naturally have different power and effectiveness. In this regard, the Chaotic Divine Soldiers are simpler than us. They are born without the need to forge their bodies to make themselves able to withstand it. The erosion of law.
We are different. Different Dharmas have different needs for the physical body. Some need the physical body to be transparent and clear, some need the physical body to have its demonic nature immortalized, some need to be independent from the world, have awe, be heroic, etc. Each of them needs it. All requirements are different.
So at this point, the path we have to take is the same. No matter whether there is a divine weapon or a magic sword." Holy Lord Tongsheng hit the nail on the head and pointed out the essence of the Holy Lord directly.
"How many people can control one method?" Lu Sheng thought for a while and asked carefully.
"Of course it's possible. If two Holy Masters master the same method at the same time, it depends on who has a deeper level. It's nothing more than a fight for control.
This world of heaven and earth is vast and infinite, who can say that he can understand everything thoroughly?" Holy Lord Tongsheng said with a smile.
"This process of comprehending the Dharma is all in the Jade Star realm. The Jade Star is originally a mortal stone, but it turns into a star. This is the summary of this realm."
Tong Sheng smiled and glanced at Lu Sheng, "Fellow Taoist is currently in the stage of fusion. Although he has entered the Jade Star, he has only scratched the surface and needs to carefully lay the foundation. It should be noted that each person only has one chance to fuse. During this period, oneself The spirit, soul, and body will all be completely alienated by the fused method, and some strange powers will gradually appear, while all other methods will be isolated."
