Chapter 120 The four thousand-character chapter at the Wilderness Temple
'There are no gods in this world, but since time immemorial, human beings have seen all kinds of strange things in the world around them, including lightning and thunder, natural and man-made disasters, countless casualties, and mourning everywhere. It is absolutely beyond the power of human beings to stop it.
.So I thought that above the Nine Heavens, there are all kinds of gods, and below the Nine Netherworlds, there is also the place where the ghosts return, the Hall of Yama.
As a result, the theory of gods spread throughout the world. Countless human beings sincerely worshiped the various gods created by their own imagination, prayed for blessings and complained, and the incense flourished.
Since ancient times, all mortals have died. But everyone in the world hates death and loves life, and the theory of Yama in the underworld adds a bit of suffering and fear. Under this, there is the theory of immortality.'
'In today's world, although the land of China is vast and boundless, only the Central Plains is the most fertile and rich, and eighty-nine out of ten people in the world live here. However, the deserted land in the southeast, northwest, and dangerous mountains and rivers are full of ferocious beasts and raptors.
There are many virulent miasmas and poisons, and there are also many barbarians and barbarians who capture their hair and drink their blood, so it is inaccessible to people.'
Today, there are three sects of righteousness, which are the pillars of the world, namely the 'Qingyun Sect', 'Tianyin Temple', and 'Fenxiang Valley'.
Since the last war between good and evil more than a hundred years ago, when the evil way retreated, the right way, headed by these three sects, has occupied the Central Plains for many years.
A few days ago, the devil returned, and the good and the evil fought in Liupo Mountain deep in the East China Sea, and each suffered damage.
Soon after, the demonic sect became more and more powerful everywhere in the world.
The Qingyun Sect is the leader of the righteous path in the world. The disciples of the sect were moved down the mountain to walk down the mountain after feeling the cruelty of the evil way and killing innocent people. Later, Tianyin Temple and Fenxiang Valley also followed suit.
Today, wars are breaking out all over the world, and the good and the evil are constantly fighting.
The world has realized that troubled times have arrived.

Demonic Holy Land
In a world of yellow sand, fierce storms were blowing, rolling up yellow sand all over the sky and floating in the sky. From a distance, the whole world was hazy and blurry.
The sun in the sky seemed to be blocked by the yellow sand floating all over the sky, and the light shining on the ground seemed dim and without warmth.
Through the world of yellow sand, one can vaguely see a building standing far away, almost integrated with the surrounding world, hidden in the depths of the sea of sand.
That building standing on the sea of sand is the Holy Land of the Demon Cult, the Wilderness Temple, which has existed for endless years.
In the main hall, there are two tall statues, all made of obsidian.
One man and one woman
The man looks terrifying, ferocious and evil, with several pairs of arms, holding a giant axe, raised high, as if he wants to split the sky.
The woman's face is kind, gentle and kind, like a Bodhisattva who pities the world.
These two statues stand side by side and are the center of the entire hall. These are the two supreme gods passed down from ancient times by the Demon Sect.
That woman is the legendary Our Lady of Youming, the deity who nurtures thousands of living beings.
That man was the legendary King Tiansha Mingwang, the fierce god who created heaven and earth and wielded punishment.
In front of these two huge statues, there are two rows of seats on both sides of the hall.
There was someone sitting on every seat, and several people were standing behind the seats.
Looking around, there are more than ten people sitting there, each of them has a high level of cultivation and a powerful aura.
Among them, four are the most important.
The four people were sitting closest to the two statues, and among them was the Ghost King, the leader of the Ghost King Sect who had appeared in Liupo Mountain.
There was also an old man whose whole body was shrouded in thick robes and covered with a blanket, and whose breath seemed to be floating.
A woman in her thirties with a beautiful face that no one around her dared to look directly at.
And the last one, a man with a middle-aged appearance, full of momentum, and a strong attitude.
These four people are the leaders of the four most powerful sects of the Demon Sect at this time.
"Everyone."
The Ghost King swept his eyes across the many people present and said: "Since our holy religion decided to take power some time ago, we have fought countless battles with many sects of the righteous path in the Central Plains.
The current situation is that each has its own victory or defeat. Generally speaking, our holy religion is still at a disadvantage.
I still suggest that you all send out your elite forces to gain an advantage in the confrontation with the righteous way, which will be of great benefit to the development of our holy religion."
A group of people sitting at the back heard that the Ghost King Sect wanted their sect to intensify its efforts to oppose the righteous way, and even sent out the elite masters of the sect. They all watched with their eyes and noses, and pretended that they had not heard anything.
After all, no one has a big family and a big business. It is not cost-effective to let the pillars of the family risk being killed by the righteous just for a little fame.
The scene was a little cold for a while because of the Ghost King's words.
The Ghost King did not look at the people sitting at the back, but looked at the other leaders of the major factions.
The whole body was wrapped tightly and he looked listless, as if he was an old man who was about to die soon.
In a weak voice, he said to the Ghost King Sect Master: "Brother, you are right. This is a critical moment for our Holy Religion to make contributions. Naturally, everyone should do their best."
"Ahem..."
As he was talking, he suddenly coughed a few times.
After taking a breath, the old man continued to speak.
"It's a pity that I'm not feeling well and can't personally contribute to the great cause of the Holy Religion."
He didn't say the last two sentences and paused again.
After taking two breaths: "But I still want to ask Fang Xin, my Wan Du Sect..."
"Cough...cough..."
He coughed again.
Everyone in the venue looked at the old man, always worried that he would cough before he finished speaking, but no one said anything and just watched quietly.
"teacher."
Behind the old man, a middle-aged man saw this and quickly stepped forward, gently stroking the old man's back with a somewhat anxious look on his face.
The old man only coughed twice and had no other symptoms.
He turned around and smiled at the middle-aged man and said, "It's okay."
Then he turned back to everyone present and said, "I made everyone laugh. I am too old to be useful anymore."
Everyone in the venue quickly expressed that it was the seniors who had worked hard. When they should have been enjoying their old age, they still had to work hard for the sake of the Holy Religion.
The old man smiled and said that this was what he should do.
Then he said: "We, the Wandu Sect, will definitely cooperate with you all to show the grace of our holy religion on the land of the Central Plains. I just don't know who will lead this important event so that everyone can better cooperate."
There are all powerful figures in the Demon Sect in the field, but few people care about the position of the leader. Why? Naturally, this position must be among the four major clans to convince people. As for who it is,
Others don't care, as long as it doesn't affect their own development.
The woman among the first four people looked at the expressions of everyone in the field and rolled her eyes.
He said with a smile: "We, the Hehuan sect, are also willing to do our best to promote the great cause of the holy religion. However, the small women's sect is full of weak women, and they cannot bear the responsibility of leading the overall situation.
In my opinion, Senior Poison God is a senior figure in our Holy Religion. It is appropriate for him to work hard and gain great prestige in the Holy Religion.
Fellow Taoist Yuyangzi, I have been guarding the temple for a hundred years. It is appropriate for everyone to see how much I have contributed to the Holy Religion in these hundred years.
Fellow Ghost King Daoist has led the Ghost King Sect to rise in the past hundred years. Whether it is strength or planning ability, everyone is watching. What's more, this time everyone gathers to discuss, it is indispensable for Ghost King Daoist to be the mediator. If you want
If you lead everyone, everyone will definitely be able to obey."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, the old man over there, known as the Poison God Senior, coughed and said again: "No."
"cough···."
The Poison God said to everyone: "Everyone has seen the abilities of fellow Taoist Yuyangzi and fellow Ghost King, but the old man is not good enough. You have also seen that the old man coughs violently after saying a few words. Let the old man be obedient and help."
I am still doing my best, but if I am allowed to shoulder the burden of the Holy Religion, I really do not have the energy, and this move will definitely disappoint everyone's expectations."
Everyone present nodded after what the Poison God said. Yes, it seems that there are four major factions in the field. The Hehuan faction is naturally at a disadvantage in terms of competitiveness because the leader of the sect is a woman. Now that they have voluntarily given up competition, naturally
It will no longer be considered.
The Poison God of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect is a powerful figure who has dominated the position of the leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect three hundred years ago, and his reputation has spread to the entire Demon Cult. Just looking at his current appearance, it seems that he is indeed an old man.
Now, I can no longer take care of too many things, and I have withdrawn from the competition.
As a result, only Yuyangzi and Ghost King were left.
Everyone's eyes turned to the two of them.
The Ghost King and Yu Yangzi looked at each other.
The Ghost King stood up, raised his hands and said to everyone present: "Thank you all for your support, but I have only been in charge of the Ghost King Sect for only a hundred years. Not to mention that I am the least senior among the four major sects, and among all the sect leaders, I am older than me.
I don’t know how many.
This is one of them.
In terms of cultivation, both Senior Poison God and Taoist Brother Yuyangzi are far above me. Fairy Sanmiao is equipped with the Hehuan sect skills and is much stronger than me even at the peak of her powers.
His cultivation level is not as good as the three, which is the second one.
Taoist friend Yuyangzi has been guarding the temple for more than a hundred years. He has worked hard and is loyal to the holy religion, but he only did trivial things. This place is not as far away as Taoist friend Yuyangzi.
This is the third one.”
After saying these three points, the Ghost King bowed his hands to everyone again and continued: "I don't have as many friends as the three Taoists, and I cannot shoulder the great responsibility of leading the Holy Religion."
After finishing speaking, he sat in his seat again.
At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Yuyangzi.
Yuyangzi blinked, and when he saw this, he also came back to his senses. Apparently, some of the previous expectations were due to staying in a wild and remote place for too long, and his brain was not very flexible.
I actually have some inexplicable thoughts.
But what should I say in this situation?
These three guys put themselves on the fire and roasted themselves.
God of Poison, that old fox, no wonder he pretended to be so sick when he came today. It turns out there is a reason.
Sanmiao, that bitch, you can't tell. Who dares to provoke her in normal times? She can eat most men in the world without spitting out their bones. She actually said that she is a weak woman and can't convince others. She has the nerve to do so.
.
There is also the Ghost King. This guy is also very cunning. He organized this gathering by himself. Some time ago, when all the holy sects organized the Resurrection War to attack the righteous way, this guy brought his people from the Ghost King Sect.
He ran to Liupo Mountain and caused a big incident. If he hadn't been discovered early, he would now be the well-deserved number one sect of the Holy Religion.
Now he actually said a few words as if he was of no use at all.
But what can be done?
Yuyangzi thought about it, did he have anything better to say?
After thinking for a while, Yu Yangzi spoke to a group of demon sect leaders who were looking at him expectantly.
"Everyone, I am truly ashamed. A few days ago, the Changsheng Hall was unable to do anything in the battle between our holy sect and the righteous gang of hypocritical people at Liupo Mountain in the East China Sea."
A low voice said: "Brother Taoist, you don't have to think so. Without Brother Taoist Changsheng Hall's painstaking efforts to guard the temple, how can we rest assured to fight with the righteous way outside."
"Yes, this matter cannot be regarded as the fault of fellow Taoist. This matter is a great contribution."
Everyone spoke one after another and explained for Yuyangzi.
A forced smile appeared on Yuyangzi's face, and he thought to himself: "Now that I know how hard it is for me, guys who usually run faster than anyone else when they see the benefits, you want me to take the lead and hit the right path, right?
What idea do you have that I don’t know about?”
On his face, he accepted everyone's praise with a smile, and then thought of other reasons, wanting to make Changsheng Hall retreat and push the other sects out, but the Ghost King and others were mentally stronger than Yuyangzi, so with a few words
The effort was pushed back to Yu Yangzi.
Yuyangzi said: "I have been in the temple for a long time, and many Taoist friends in the outside world have never heard of the name of Changsheng Hall. If I come forward, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, and I will not be able to mobilize many of my fellow disciples of the Holy Cult. Then I will be let down."
It’s everyone’s fault.”
The Ghost King immediately replied: "Fellow Taoist, please rest assured. Our Ghost King Sect attaches great importance to this matter. We will fully cooperate with the command of our Taoist friends and will never cause trouble. To show our sincerity, my daughter has already led a group of core disciples to the right path."
They are lurking within their sphere of influence and will only wait for the order from fellow Taoists before they take action to suppress the righteous forces."
Regarding this, Poison God and Madam Sanmiao both said that they had arranged it in the same way.
Yuyangzi gave several more reasons, but the three of them cleverly blocked them and solved all the difficulties that Yuyangzi thought of.
Yuyangzi looked at the three people who were smiling at her sincerely, and the dozen or so cunning guys who looked like they were following her lead, and sneered in her heart.
Thinking: "Humph, it's all a good plan, that's it. You just calculated it against me. This matter is not only dangerous. If our holy religion can win a complete victory in this confrontation with the righteous way, then I will live forever."
From now on, the church will be the well-deserved number one force of the Holy Religion. From now on, it is not impossible to reach the power that the black-hearted old man had when he commanded the entire Holy Religion hundreds of years ago.
When the time comes, there will be things you regret."
Since resistance was useless, Yuyangzi also began to think about how to lead the demon sect and become one with the righteous way.
Amidst the congratulations from the others, Yuyangzi began to lead the Demon Sect to launch large and small offensive campaigns against countless small and medium-sized forces of the Righteous Path, testing the bottom line of the three major sects of the Righteous Path bit by bit.
Heyang City
During his stay in Heyang City, except for the initial period when he was a little annoyed by the harassment, Zhang Xiaofan felt that this place was quite good the rest of the time.
The aunt who sells vegetables in the vegetable market is very kind, and she can chat with me for a while every time I go to buy vegetables.
Although the butcher Zhang who sells meat looks fierce, he also has a good heart. When Zhang Xiaofan goes to buy meat, he can often get the best pork belly or the tube bone with the most bone oil.
The man who sweeps the street outside is also very nice, and he and Zhang Xiaofan get along very well. Every time he cooks, and if they meet him, Zhang Xiaofan is always willing to ask him to come and have some food with him.
The people in Heyang City are very simple, unlike the brothers and sisters in the mountains, who all have a fairy-like air, which makes Zhang Xiaofan always feel a sense of pressure.
Everyone in Heyang City makes Zhang Xiaofan feel more real and more compatible with him.
Every time he comes into contact with these people, Zhang Xiaofan always reminds Zhang Xiaofan of the people in the village and the uncles and aunts who were very kind to him when he was a child.
They are all the same simplicity, and every day, they are surrounded by pots and pans, and the family is short-lived.
Zhang Xiaofan enjoyed this feeling very much and always had the illusion that he was back in the village.
Of course, it would be better if Miss Zhou next door didn't occasionally intervene.
Just when he thought of this, he heard the sound of falling into the water again, and Zhang Xiaofan sighed in his heart: "Here we go again."
Then he looked towards the courtyard wall which did not play any role.
