Taking Hua Lian back to the coast, the first thing I felt was an atmosphere of approaching storm.
The streets are still noisy, and there are more people coming and going in the shops than in the past. The monks setting up stalls on the side streets are densely occupying all the places where they can set up stalls.
There are more people laughing and bragging in the restaurant than usual, and the aroma of wine can be smelled dozens of feet away.
"Brother Qin, I'm sorry to trouble you, I can't go back for the time being." Hua Lian's face looked a little ugly.
Qin Yang's face also looked a little ugly.
The first time I came back, I heard those people who came to the restaurant to brag about any big news and broke a big news.
Wuliang Taoist Temple was destroyed.
The specific situation was unknown, but upon hearing the news, both of them instantly understood that this attack was definitely not a sudden one.
After arriving at the restaurant and inn, Hua Lian began to recover from his injuries. The Demon Stone Holy Sect's stronghold was temporarily unable to return.
Because the people in the stronghold can no longer be trusted, Hua Lian was seriously injured, his strength was exhausted, and he was almost out of gas. If anything happened when he returned, he would be at the mercy of others.
"It stands to reason that before Xu Shen went out, he must not have known that Wuliang Taoist Temple was destroyed. How long had passed? At most, Wuliang Taoist Temple had been destroyed in less than a day, and the news spread to everyone so quickly.
Everyone knows that those guys who have no strength and talk nonsense all day long actually know who spread this?"
Qin Yang was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of tea, his eyes a little distracted.
Xu Shen risked his life, regardless of everything, just so that Wuliang Taoist Academy could survive the current crisis, but he probably didn't even know that Wuliang Taoist Academy had been abandoned long ago.
too fast……
It was so fast that if he said that all this was not prepared in advance, Qin ** would not believe it.
It is said that the Divine Dynasty in the Great Wilderness does have a way to communicate and communicate quickly across hundreds of thousands of miles. Just at the inns under the Divine Dynasty, the communication speed is said to be 80,000 miles a day.
But if something happened somewhere and spread to the point where the minions below know about it, then it cannot be done in a day or two.
In other words, when Xu Shen went out to intercept Hua Lian again, Wuliang Taoist Academy had already been wiped out.
Even if Xu Shen died in his own hands, Qin Yang still didn't deserve him. He was forced and deceived from the beginning to the end, and he didn't know until his death that what he wanted to protect was gone.
Now that the news is spreading like wildfire, it goes without saying that there must be someone behind it who is adding fuel to the flames and deliberately spreading the news.
"Someone is adding fuel to the flames. I can't believe anyone, at least the people within the sect. I can't just believe it. No matter who it is, this matter is at least the beginning. Brother Qin, if nothing happens, it's best not to go out these days.
." Hua Lian smiled bitterly, his mouth full of bitterness.
Looking out the window, he felt a little absent-minded, and even had some doubts as to why the sect promoted him to be the new Holy Son at this point in time.
It is absolutely impossible to say that it is just for a facade and a sign to show off one's power.
Qin Yang patted Hua Lian on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry so much. No matter what it is, at least you have to recover from your injuries first. Without strength, no problem can be solved."
Hua Lian nodded, looking gloomy.
Qin Yang walked out of the door and gently closed the door for Hua Lian, with thousands of thoughts in his mind.
I walked to the second floor, found a seat by the window, ordered a bottle of wine, poured myself some wine, and thought about the reason for all this and how it would develop next.
If a big mess happens, will my plan go smoothly?
After thinking about it, I also feel that it is impossible to be alone. If a real fight breaks out between the Three Saint Sects, no one in the entire Huliang will be able to stay away.
And with his current status, if someone wants to muddy the waters and bring the Sea Clan in, it might not be a bad idea.
After all, everyone knows the temperament of the Dragon Turtle King. Although he is unrestrained, he has no intention of killing.
Xu Shen was right as he said before. The Dragon Turtle King was so angry that at most he could only destroy the entire mountain gate station. He could not kill many people, and he would not destroy his Taoist heritage.
Only the fighting between sects will develop to the point of exterminating the inheritance of the Taoism.
Three days have passed, and more and more news has come in. All the people from Wuliang Taoist Temple in the city have disappeared. It is not known whether they are dead or have escaped.
And the news came that Wuliang Taoist Academy had been wiped out, and not a single master in the sect was left. They had all been killed. Except for a very few disciples who were outside, almost no one was left alive.
Their station was burned to the ground, and countless casual cultivators lay on the bones of Wuliang Taoist Temple, digging out valuable things.
With the news coming now, no one cares about why Wuliang Taoist Temple was destroyed. What is more important is that so and so dug out some good things in the ruins. So and so found the medicine field of Wuliang Taoist Temple and swept away all the elixirs in it.
…
Qin Yang thought for a long time, left Luhu City, and found a shop selling medicinal materials in a small town where almost all of them were monks.
"What do fellow Taoists need? Although our place is small, we generally have all the commonly used medicinal materials."
"Three cents of purple bamboo shoot flowers need to be fresh, and ten pounds of gallbladder grass need to be whole plants that have been dried..." Qin Yang said calmly.
"Uh, fellow Taoist, please come inside and have a short rest. Let me go and see if it's enough..."
Qin Yang was invited to the backyard, and after a while, the smiling shopkeeper came over with a bulging belly.
"Fellow Taoist, there are ten kilograms of brokengrass, but the dried and complete plants are not. The fresh ones with soil are almost thirteen kilograms. Do you see enough?"
"Just the roots, not the leaves." Qin Yang said slowly.
The shopkeeper's expression was stunned, and his pupils slowly dilated. He seemed to have lost his soul. He stood there for several breaths, and then his pupils slowly shrank. His whole demeanor changed at this moment.
"Three Seven under the River Crossing Man's Gate." The shopkeeper suppressed his smile, his waist was slightly stooped, he made a strange seal with his hands, and held a black rune in his palm, shaped like a small boat.
"Preacher Qin Yang!" Qin Yang stood up and straightened his waist. He also pressed the seal with his hand, and a rune with a book pattern appeared in his palm.
Sanqi's expression changed drastically and he quickly saluted.
"Your Majesty, unknown to you, is here. If you are far away from us, please..."
"We don't like this kind of rules." Qin Yang interrupted Sanqi.
At this time, Sanqi breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Young master, please forgive me, no one has been here for a long time, so I have to be careful. I also ask you to wait for a moment, and I will confirm again."
.”
"The rules have been set, and naturally everyone must abide by them." Qin Yang didn't take it seriously and nodded.
There are only a few people stationed at Pirate Gate, but the layout outside is very wide. As a preacher, Qin Yang is the only one who knows the identities of everyone except Old Man Wei.
Meeting the secret code is only the first step. In other words, this is not a secret code at all, but the medicinal materials in this pharmacy, and there are indeed only so many.
After all the codes are matched, the shopkeeper's memory seal will be lifted, and he will recall his identity. Normally, he himself does not know that he is the person who stole the door.
Sanqi took out a three-inch long flying sword, attached the message, and used the flying sword method to send out a few words that no one could understand.
Everything was done in front of Qin Yang. After completing this step, Sanqi said nothing and waited quietly.
After a while of burning incense, Feijian flew back. Looking at the newly transmitted information, Sanqi nodded and smiled again.
"I only heard before that a new preacher has appeared, but I have never seen it. The young master has come here, and I don't know why?"
"I want to ask you something. Most of the information from Chenghaizhou will pass through your hands. I want to ask Lin Chiqing of Lingtai Holy Sect, how much information do you know about him?"
"Lin Chiqing..." Sanqi pondered for a moment, and did not ask why Qin Yang asked this, but just answered to himself: "Lin Chiqing's ancestor was once the great elder of the Lingtai Holy Sect, and the incense has been passed down for thirteen generations.
Already in decline, he is the youngest generation. After entering the Lingtai Holy Sect, he rose to prominence with amazing talent. He is known as the most talented person in hundreds of years besides the Lingtai Saint."
"What is his connection with the Saint of Lingtai?" Qin Yang interjected with a look on his face.
"My predecessor, Yu Ze, died in the fifth life. After he entered the Lingtai Holy Sect, his talent was not revealed and he was bullied. Once he was close to death, he was met by the Lingtai Saint who happened to be passing by. She casually rewarded him with a pill.
After saving him, we have nothing to do with him anymore, and Lin Chiqing has slowly risen since then..."
"Okay, I understand." Qin Yang clenched his fists and felt a thump in his heart.
Suddenly I understood that Lin Chiqing was most likely the incarnation of the Holy Lady of Lingtai!
Hua Xiangrong had previously cultivated the Three Yin Body, while Lin Chiqing was said to have cultivated the Three Yang Kaitai method of the Lingtai Holy Sect. He was full of Yang energy, shaped like a scorching sun, and the most brilliant was the Zhengyang.
As for the Lingtai Holy Sect's method of opening up the Three Yangs, no one has practiced it for thousands of years. Except for the senior who had the Three Yangs Treasure Body back then, no one has been able to practice it.
All exceptions will set themselves on fire.
There have been rumors that Lin Chiqing has a special physique, but no one has ever heard of what his physique is.
Now it seems that he has definitely cultivated the Three Body Technique, and what he has cultivated is the Three Yang Body, the Trinity. He separately practiced the method of opening up the three Yang body, and this is how he succeeded.
The three yin bodies, the three yang bodies, plus the Holy Lady of Lingtai herself...
The three yin and three yang turn into the yin and yang dharma body, blast open the divine door, and reach the sky in one step!
Qin Yang was suddenly in a trance. No wonder this Lingtai saint was said to be at the peak of the Lingtai stage and had not made a breakthrough in recent years.
It turned out that she was waiting here, but she actually wanted to reach the sky in one step, crossing three realms overnight!
Damn it, I destroyed the three yin bodies that she worked so hard to find, and this is a big feud!
"Master?" Sanqi asked softly.
"How did Wuliang Taoist Temple be destroyed?" Qin Yang came back to his senses and asked again.
"Besieged by Qingyun Sect, Piaoyun Sect, and Hushan Sect, five days ago, Wuliang Taoist Academy was destroyed in one fell swoop. Wuliang Taoist Academy suffered all casualties and casualties, the Sutra Pavilion was burned to the ground, and the Taoist tradition was almost cut off. These three sects were all dependents.
Under the command of the Magic Stone Holy Sect."
"Do you know why?"
"The news coming out is that they have a grudge. The death of Wuliang Ancestor is a great opportunity to add insult to injury. However, according to the news coming from the sect, these three sects have secretly attached themselves to the Xuantian Holy Sect.
, the two elders of Qingyun Sect are our people, and the destruction of Wuliang Taoist Academy is an order issued by Xuantian Holy Sect and Demonic Stone Holy Sect at the same time."
"Huh?" Qin Yang was slightly startled. He couldn't figure out what this meant...
"Okay, that's it for the time being. If anything happens, I will come to inquire in person. If you are at risk of being exposed, I will ask the master to transfer you back to the sect when the Xuantian Holy Sect's longevity ceremony is over."
"Thank you, sir." Sanqi was overjoyed and quickly bowed to thank him.
"Give me separate packages of the leaves of the gallbladder. 30% must be fresh, 60% must be dry, and the remaining 10% must be neither dry nor wet." Qin Yang muttered again slowly.
In an instant, Sanqi's pupils suddenly dilated again, and his expression was sluggish. After a few breaths, his consciousness returned, and Sanqi bowed slightly, with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, do you think you have made your choice?"
"You've chosen, just give me all your heartbroken grass." Qin Yang waved his hand, and a pile of spiritual stones appeared on the table.
"Okay, fellow Taoist, wait a moment, I'll be here soon." Sanqi put away the spirit stones, quickly prepared the medicinal materials, and watched Qin Yang leave.
"Shopkeeper, have we negotiated? No one wants so much heartbroken grass on weekdays. It can be extremely poisonous if you don't handle it properly. Which alchemy master's prodigal apprentice dares to use so many heartbroken grass to practice?" A waiter from a drug store asked.
A sigh.
"You don't care what others do, even if it's wasted, we can still make money." Sanqi looked proud and went to the back hall with her hands behind her back.
"The shopkeeper is wise." The waiter complimented with a calm face, but secretly slandered him in his heart. After buying the goods before, the shopkeeper regretted it, saying that he was out of his mind to buy so much, and even scolded me and said that I didn't stop him.
Point, now I have caught someone who was taken advantage of and sold it, and I feel wise again, but it is really shameless...
The waiter wiped the table with his lips curled up. When he saw the guest, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face.
…
On the other side, Qin Yang returned to Luhu City, feeling confused and feeling that things were getting more and more complicated.
I originally thought that I would be able to get useful information by taking the risk to contact him in person, but I didn't expect that things would become more complicated.
Wuliang Taoist Temple Laihao can be regarded as a sect in the second echelon of Huliang. Oh, this was when the ancestor Wuliang was alive.
Wuliang Taoist Temple was destroyed, but Lingtai Holy Sect showed nothing. The three sects were obviously members of Demonic Stone Holy Sect, but secretly they defected to Xuantian Holy Sect and destroyed the members of Lingtai Holy Sect.
But the Lingtai Holy Sect forced Xu Shen to kill Hua Lian, the Demon Stone Holy Son...
These things happened too fast. The whole process took only two or three days in total. How could the Lingtai Holy Sect respond so quickly?
Qin Yang has a headache. If nothing goes wrong, the entire Huliang will turn into a mess.
If the chaos becomes apparent and the Three Saints Sect rolls up their sleeves and gets started, it will be one thing whether the birthday ceremony can be held smoothly.
If the birthday ceremony is not held, the Haoyang Treasure Bell will not be brought out from the tightly guarded forbidden area of the Xuantian Holy Sect, and then the only chance of rescuing the ugly chicken will be gone.
After all, if the Haoyang Treasure Bell has been locked within the Xuantian Holy Sect, even the three sect leaders will have no chance of stealing it.
