Chapter 447: The sworn sister is getting married? (Please subscribe for more updates!)
There is a unique world inside Shimen.
There is no longer a lush forest under the flying boat. Instead, it is full of city buildings, human incense, and cities and towns.
Moreover, the layout of the city here is extremely smooth, with roads extending in all directions, and smoke rising from the outside of the city, giving it a peaceful appearance.
It is not correct to say that it is an endless plain city.
Because there is a solitary peak standing not far away here, and the city in all directions surrounds the peak to worship. Looking from the top down, there are many people who go out from the city to worship on the remote road of the solitary peak every day.
"Five cities and one mountain, build temples on Lingshan, collect incense, twenty-eight peaks and cities are the foundation of the formation, and can rely on each other. The main peak in the farthest place is where the gate of Guiyuan Sect is. I heard that all the Guiyuan Sect, Only those in the Lingqiao realm are qualified to enter and leave the main peak at will." Fang Ziyou introduced.
"Dip, what a big tone, Tianshen Temple, the first temple... you actually tried to imitate Zhou Dynasty to build a temple to collect incense and luck." Shen Zhui scanned the names of those temples and immediately snorted with some disdain. .
"In the past few hundred years, the sectarian world has been influenced by the imperial court, and they have basically followed the same example, using the spirit of the Yin God to suppress luck and collect incense from the people, with the intention of forming the sect's destiny and ensuring that the inheritance is immortal." Fang Ziyou. He shook his head and said, "But brainwashing civilians using Taoist and magical methods is difficult to produce results."
"But if you completely copy the work of the Zhou Dynasty, you won't have the courage at all."
"Humph, of course they don't have the courage." Shen Zhui said coldly. "They are used to taking life and death, controlling life and death, and pursuing absolute freedom. How can they be restrained by the legal provisions that they impose restrictions on?"
"I am familiar with the classics of the sect world. Regardless of the good and evil sects, strong and weak martial arts, and unofficial history essays, the ones that appear most frequently are 'Great Freedom' and 'Great Freedom'."
"Cultivation of Taoism seeks to be at ease. How can you be at ease? How can you be free if you can't even give or take away from mortals?"
Fang Ziyou heard the sarcasm in Shen Zhui's words, but didn't say anything.
The biggest and most fundamental contradiction between the imperial court and the sects lies in the conflict between freedom and the rule of law.
In particular, the "Code of Punishment", which the Confucian officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty worked so hard to maintain, stated that princes who broke the law were equally guilty as the common people, which violated the fundamental philosophy of the sectarians.
Under the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not to mention killing people, just bullying the common people could be punished. How could you bear this?
Of course, the sectarian world cannot accept it if he has worked hard to cultivate and become accustomed to being superior.
Therefore, over the years, some sects have been forced to surrender to the Great Zhou, but there are also not a few strong people who have escaped from the Great Zhou and escaped into the sect world.
Just as Shen Zhui and Fang Ziyou were transmitting messages and discussing, the two Guiyuan Sect disciples who were leading the way spoke.
"The two seniors, according to the rules, the temporary residence of the two seniors is divided into Guiyi City."
"Lead the way." Shen Zhui said calmly.
"Yes." The Guiyuan Sect disciple said respectfully.
…………
Guiyi City is the city closest to the mountain gate of Guiyuan Sect.
Logically speaking, the Qingyang Sect is now only a third-rate sect, and there is absolutely no way it would be so close. However, the brief confrontation between the Shanmen and the overtures of the Holy Envoy of the Taishang Sect made the Guiyuan Sect not dare to look down upon it.
So after receiving the order, the two disciples led them to Guiyi City.
As soon as the flying boat landed in the air outside the city, a middle-aged man wearing golden inscriptions and Tao Po came up to meet him.
"Haha, the leader of Qingyang, I have admired you for a long time. I am a poor Taoist, Yuanyang, and I am specially here to greet Qingyang Sect."
"Brother Tao, you're polite." Fang Ziyou bowed, his attitude not very enthusiastic.
The Guiyuan Sect is actually divided into the Demonic Path. Although the distinction between good and evil is not very clear now and they all belong to the sect alliance, whether as the head of the Qingyang Sect or as the general of the Wu'an Army, Fang Ziyou has great influence on the Guiyuan Sect. Not a good feeling.
Of course, the two sects were both second-rate sects before, and since they were not in the same territory, there was not much contact between them.
But Shen Zhui is different. He only pays attention to his sworn sister now, so of course he has to act more eagerly.
Shen Zhui carefully recalled the information about this ninth-level elder with supernatural power in his mind, and he immediately smiled and said with his hands in his hands: "I have long heard that Senior Yuanyang's "Yuan Yang" technique is the best in Xuling Cave and Heaven, and today I saw it, and it is indeed well-deserved. .”
"Hahaha~ blah blah blah." Taoist Yuanyang laughed out loud when he heard someone complimenting him, and looked at Shen Zhui with a lot of pleasure. "I didn't expect that after I haven't been out of Guiyuan Sect for a long time, there are still people who remember my name. "
Taoist Yuanyang was very satisfied with Shen Zhui's performance.
The disciples of the Qingyang Sect are very good, but this master is a little bit worse, looking like he is determined to die.
"Come, please, please quickly." Taoist Yuanyang warmly invited the two of them into the city.
I don’t know if it’s been too long since I’ve seen an outside sect, or if there’s some other reason. Along the way, Taoist Yuanyang was extremely enthusiastic, introduced the Guiyuan Sect in detail, and answered all Shen Zhui’s questions.
Just a flash of light from time to time made Shen Zhui feel cold.
Fang Zi swam aside, watching the lively conversation between Shen Zhui and Taoist Yuanyang, and was also puzzled.
This Yuanyang Taoist likes Longyang's habit, so he adopted the method of cultivation, and he also... found a different way.
Because he does not adopt women, only men Yuanyang.
General Shenwei was so polite to Taoist Yuanyang. Could it be that he had some special hobbies?
Thinking of this, Fang Ziyou felt a little regretful. He had been practicing for a long time and had seen everything. He just felt that the sacrifice General Shen had made for this mission was too great...
Shen Zhui actually felt uncomfortable, especially since Taoist Yuanyang wanted to hold his hand several times, and he wanted to take out his knife and chop this old prostitute into pieces.
Damn it, for the sake of my sworn sister, I can only endure it.
After being polite for a moment, the two of them followed Taoist Yuanyang to a quiet and spacious mansion in the city.
"Headmaster Qingyang, brother Fang, there are too many guests from Guiyuan Sect now, so I feel sorry for you two to stay here temporarily." Taoist Yuanyang said with a smile.
"It's okay, this place is actually quite clean. Thank you very much, fellow Taoist." Fang Ziyou said with cupped hands.
"Thank you, Brother Dao." Shen Zhui also bowed his hand, changed the topic, and finally got to the main topic.
"Brother Taoist, I heard that there is a Fairy Lan Ruo in your sect. I don't know where she is now. Can I take a look at her beauty?" Shen asked.
"Well, that's it." Taoist Yuanyang's attitude immediately became colder when he heard Shen Zhui mentioned the woman, and there was also a slight regret in his expression.
Hey, it turns out that Fang Liang still likes women.
Facing Taoist Yuanyang's eyes that were glancing back and forth at this moment, Shen Zhui also regretted it, thinking that the figure he pretended to be was too handsome, and he would have made it more ugly if he had known better.
"Fairy Lan Ruo is now the pride of my Guiyuan Sect. In just ten years, she has reached the sixth level of magical power and has mastered the dual source marks."
"Brother Fang may have some difficulty if he wants to see her," Taoist Yuanyang said.
"In ten years, to reach the sixth level of supernatural power and master dual origins?" Shen Zhui was secretly shocked.
"Shen Zhui, you sister-in-law, you are not simple." Zen Xin, who was holding a hammer in the cave world, took a break from hammering. "This speed of cultivation is unrivaled. I'm afraid that this time the Guiyuan Sect will Part of the reason for opening the mountain gate is related to your sworn sister."
"Oh? So serious?" Shen Zhui remained calm.
"Of course, in terms of qualifications, your sworn sister is enough to become the successor of the teacher. However, according to you, she was kidnapped at the age of eleven and has been breaking through the magical realm in this cave world. Her original induction On the other hand, it will be affected to some extent. If the mountain gate is not opened and she is allowed to go to the world, her future will be damaged."
"However, the sixth level of magical power in ten years is probably a bit of a boast." Zen Xin said with a smile. "Time is accelerating in the cave world. Your sworn sister will definitely be treated no less than you."
"If time is accelerated a hundred times or hundreds of times, maybe your sworn sister will become an old woman who is hundreds of years old." Zen Xin joked.
"Go away and refine the treasure!" Shen Zhui roughly cut off the connection with Zen Heart.
"So that's it." Shen Zhui suddenly said with regret. "It seems that meeting Fairy Lan Ruo is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
"Hahaha, that's not the case." Taoist Yuanyang laughed loudly.
"Oh? What do you mean by this, fellow Taoist?" This time it was Fang Ziyou who asked.
He now also understood that Shen Zhui's target for this mission was probably Fairy Lan Ruo.
But what he was thinking about now was that Shen Zhui might want to assassinate Fairy Lan Ruo, not for other reasons.
"When I reopened the gate of Guiyuan Sect, firstly, my ancestor broke through to the fourth level of Venerable, and secondly, he discovered the genius of the sect, Fairy Lan Ruo, and taught him personally for a while."
"When the celebration starts tomorrow, Fairy Lan Ruo will appear with her master and ancestor, and we will have a chance to meet here."
"And starting from the day after tomorrow, there will be a martial arts contest held by our ancestors for Fairy Lan Ruo to recruit a bride."
"If Brother Fang is interested, not only can we meet him, but we can even have a hand in hand. Haha~ It depends on whether Brother Fang has been practicing for more than a hundred years. Anyway, Master Ling probably has no chance." Taoist Yuanyang laughed. road.
"What?!" Shen Zhui was shocked.
Fighting to find a bride?
The sworn sister is getting married?
Shen Zhui couldn't help but be shocked by the news.
Apart from being shocked, I also felt that it was several times more difficult to get close to Shen Xinlan.
Before, he thought that Shen Xinlan was important because she had just broken through the supernatural power realm in just ten years.
With my own identity, if I use some tricks when the time comes, I may not have the chance to be alone with each other. Let’s meet.
However, now, Shen Xinlan has broken through to the sixth level of supernatural power in ten years, and has mastered dual source marks. Although she may use an effect similar to time acceleration, it is enough to prove that her talent and status in the Guiyuan Sect are completely different.
Not to mention, once the marriage recruitment comes out, it becomes even more difficult to meet.
"Huh?" Shen Zhui came to his senses at this time, only to find that Taoist Yuanyang had left.
"The mission of General Shen's trip is to assassinate Fairy Lanruo?" Fang Ziyou asked.
"It's not to assassinate, but to take her away." Shen Zhui shook his head.
"Take it away?" Fang Ziyou was stunned.
"Yes, she is my long-lost sister."
"This..." Fang Ziyou didn't know what to say.
No wonder Shen Zhui, as a genius in the Wu'an army, would personally come to the Jiuyou Realm for adventure.
For the sake of family members, that makes sense.
If it was military affairs, Marquis Wu'an would not let Shen Zhui put himself in danger, but for the sake of his family, if he stopped it, it might cause Shen Zhui to have regrets, which would be detrimental to the breakthrough.
"Guiyuan Zong wants to use the general's sworn sister as a bargaining chip for marriage." Fang Ziyou sighed.
"On the surface, the return ceremony is just about connecting with various sects and celebrating the breakthrough of rebirth."
"Actually, I just want to use the martial arts competition to recruit relatives, see the details of the young geniuses of each faction, and weigh the talents of each faction."
"First of all, the strength of the younger generation of geniuses in the sect can very well reflect the overall strength of the sect, so that they can secretly choose the target for the sect's promotion battle."
"Secondly, using a genius like Fairy Lan Ruo as a bargaining chip and marrying a sect, we can make a smooth comeback and gain foreign aid."
"With the remaining power of Patriarch Guiyuan's breakthrough and the marriage of his talented disciples, Guiyuan Sect will probably start preparing for a promotion battle after the ceremony! Be promoted to a first-class sect in one fell swoop!"
"I'm afraid that's what they think." Shen Zhui looked a little ugly.
Guiyuan Sect's plan is not small. If they act according to their hospital's plan, then the Lingtian mineral veins, territory, etc. that were lost in the previous ten years will be regained in a short period of time, or even more!
"Did Taoist Yuanyang say anything about the requirements for a martial arts competition to recruit a bride?" Shen Zhui asked.
"Above the level of supernatural powers, and have not practiced for more than a hundred years."
"The Venerable cannot participate, and those below the level of magical power cannot participate, because the competitors are not only from other sects, but also have to pass the level of Fairy Lanruo herself." Fang Ziyou said.
"If you can't beat Fairy Lanruo, it's impossible."
"Hmph, what a plan." Shen Zhui sneered. "In this case, the third-rate sects have absolutely no hope. The only ones that meet the conditions are the second-rate or even first-rate sects."
There are many people in the entire Jiuyou Realm who have practiced for no more than a hundred years and reached the realm of supernatural powers.
But if you want to be able to defeat Shen Xinlan, who has the sixth level of magical power and masters the double source mark, and has not practiced for more than a hundred years, then there is less.
First of all, don't even think about low-level magical powers, but most people with sixth-level magical powers and above have exceeded this age limit.
Only a large sect with strong strength and solid foundation can cultivate this kind of genius.
"What does the general plan to do?" Fang Ziyou asked.
"He didn't say that third-rate sects are not allowed to participate in martial arts contests to recruit brides, right?" Shen pursued.
"That's not true." Fang Ziyou shook his head. "General Shen wants to..."
"Then I, the Qingyang Sect, will have a hand in it." Shen Zhui said.
Only in this way can he find a chance to be alone with Shen Xinlan to see if he can awaken her memory.
"If it doesn't work, we can only temporarily control it and bring it back to Wu'an Army." Shen Zhui said.
"But before that, I still have to find a way to see her."
After thinking for a moment, Shen Zhui walked towards Fang Ziyou and said, "General Fang, you and I will each inquire about the news in Guiyi City and see where Fairy Lan Ruo lives."
