This is the secret cave in the cave that belongs exclusively to the Xiangyu Sect. Among the mountains and forests of different heights, layers of yellow leaves overlap each other, and they are gorgeous. The whole world is surrounded by these layers of yellow leaves. Between the tall trees, there is a
The stone road stretches windingly, leading to the depths of the mountain forest.
On both sides of the road are simple four-cornered stone lanterns that are half a person's height. There are many light red and goose-yellow leaves falling on the ground and the stone lanterns. Only through the gaps in the leaves can you see the faint blue slate underneath.
A faint light appeared in the forest, and then three figures in different clothes fell on the road in the forest.
A little air flow blew the leaves under the feet, and then fell down again. The leader, wearing a yellow gauze dress, walked in front and introduced the two people behind.
"Two junior brothers, come with me. The senior sister in charge is currently teaching under the red chrysanthemum tree."
"Yes." The two people behind him cupped their hands and followed him on the leaf-covered road.
Compared with the outside world, the world in the secret realm has a tranquility far away from the world. Only a little sound of wind blowing through the leaves can be heard, and even the chirping of birds is rare.
The three of them first walked along the long avenue and passed through the mahogany hall, then turned a few corners and saw the scene in the distance.
A tall red toon tree stands on a grassy field. The leaves are as crimson as fire, but it also gives people a sense of tranquility. Under each leaf, the branches and trunks are clearly visible.
At this moment, there is a girl in a light red dress sitting on a tree stump under the shade of the trees. The tree stump is slightly higher. Even if the girl is sitting, she is taller than the students on the grass below. Her dress is like red leaves and the top of her head.
The red toon leaves are integrated together, giving people a different kind of harmony.
The breeze occasionally blew by, and the skirt swayed slightly, revealing the light-colored shoes underneath, and the delicate ankles were vaguely visible between the skirts. Lorraine Hill did not care about these things. At this moment, she was seriously talking about her steps.
The book in the book and the beautiful voice are like running water, making people fall asleep in it, unaware of the passage of time.
Surrounding this young girl are more than thirty students present, ranging in age. These students are kneeling on the ground at the moment, listening attentively to the young girl's story. They have books and notes on their knees.
Occasionally I write down something I don’t want to forget.
Because Lorraine Hill's energy is limited, it is impossible for every disciple in the teaching sect to be able to listen to the class under the red chrysanthemum tree now. They are all specially selected disciples who are the best among the four branches of Quanbao.
Many of them are existences of the eighth level 'Ascension Realm'.
No matter what kind of practice method it is, practicing to Sequence 8 is the end. You have to explore and find the next path by yourself. Everyone's characteristics, experiences, personalities, and pursuits are different, which will also allow them to achieve different sequences.
9. The reason why Sequence 9 is said to be the ultimate in life is because reaching this stage is about stimulating all the potential of oneself to the extreme and reaching the point where there are no shortcomings.
For this reason, the road to promotion to Sequence 9 is like groping in the fog for everyone. Although this girl cannot provide them with a universal answer, she can teach them how to analyze themselves step by step and find out the hidden shadows.
Or it may shine until it reaches a state of clarity and light, with frankness inside and outside.
In this way, after being promoted to Sequence 9, the entire soul and will are like clear jade, hard and flawless. Even if they travel through the ocean of chaotic phantoms, they can maintain themselves and not be corroded by them.
"Okay, let's stop talking about it today."
There is no alternation of day and night in the Fenxiang secret territory. It always stays in the afternoon. The sunlight is not blazing. The golden light shines through the gardenia leaves and shines on the clothes, leaving mottled light and shadow.
"Thank you, Senior Sister, Leader, for your teaching." Everyone stood up together, bowed and saluted, and then slowly stepped back.
When these disciples gradually dispersed, the three people waiting on the side stepped forward.
Lorraine Hill is currently writing some things in the notes on her knees. Some of them are questions that everyone asked today, and some are some points that she feels need to be thought about and explored further.
After closing the note, the girl raised her head and saw three people approaching, then lightly jumping down from the tree stump. Her light-colored shoes stepped on the fallen leaves on the ground and made a slight sound. When the three people bent to salute,
The soft voice of a girl came from the front.
"You came here to tell me something."
"Yes, senior sister in charge."
The three of them raised their bodies and looked at this beautiful girl, sighing slightly in their hearts. Even if it was not the first time, they would feel shocked every time they met this senior sister.
Thousands of years ago, when people at that time faced the phoenix sitting under the firewood tree, did they feel the same way? It was a quiet and refreshing beauty.
"Following the instructions of the senior sister in charge, we have sent letters to all the major factions in the southwestern continents, including six to the door, seventeen to the major factions in each state, and one hundred and twenty-six to the continent and county factions, and there are still some insufficient numbers below.
Qian’s Xiaopai won’t be able to notify, but I believe they will get the news soon.”
"What's everyone's reaction?" Lorraine Hill ran his fingers through the hair in front of him.
"Reactions vary, some are fearful, some are worried, and some accept it calmly... But according to what we have seen, except for a few who are still hesitant to come to the door, other factions will follow suit and dare not neglect."
"Is it going so smoothly?" Lorraine Hill was a little unconvinced. She originally thought that many people would jump out to object, thinking that her behavior was too tough or 'arrogant'.
Although the Burning Sun Xiangyu Sect is a major sect, its scope of activities is not all over the southwestern continents. Many local factions have deep-rooted forces in the local area. These forces are intertwined, whether they are government officials, civilians, merchants, rangers, etc.
Wait, it will all be involved.
In this extraordinary world, everyone, whether poor, rich, or civilian nobles, is thirsty for power, and extraordinary factions unite all classes and can extend their tentacles to every corner.
Take Hui Luzhou as an example. Although the fire breathing masters in Hui Luzhou and its surrounding areas are just a very common profession among the people, and the Xiangyu sect will not specially send people to teach and manage them, even so, these fire breathing masters every year
They will all turn over part of their income to the outer sect of the Xiangyu Sect. And if the Xiangyu Sect needs anything, they can easily summon and direct these people to do something.
If this is the first time you see it, or if you live in the information age in your previous life, you may not understand this pattern, but from the perspective of the local area, or the various states and counties around the world, this is just a normal thing.
All power has its source. Today's practice system in the Eastern Continent can be traced back to the oldest and earliest, and it can probably be linked to the Five Phoenixes, or the Phoenix Witch.
Wufeng passed down the complete practice method and formed major factions. The disciples within these factions gathered together and had the initial strength to resist monsters and invasions, and gradually formed their own different tribes, and then the country based on this
gradually appeared.
Everyone's qualifications are different, some are slow, some are sharp. Not everyone can practice complex and profound methods. Maybe they just need some professional skills to use in their lives. For this reason, some people are professional or
People with the common goal of making a living gathered together and formed some professional factions, such as the 'Tuoshi Hall' where Caobang was born, the 'Qingluyuan' where doctors gathered, and the dyeing workshops united to form the 'Nine Colors Workshop'.
The division's faction 'Yuqingwu' and so on.
Further down the line, it may be difficult to even practice advanced professional skills, and they can only make a living by engaging in simple skills. For example, the fire-breathing masters who returned to Luzhou. Although they have no faction, their skills can be traced back to the source.
Hundreds of years ago, an outer disciple of the Xiangyu sect passed down some cultivation techniques because he wanted to make his family live a better life.
These extraordinary skills may be rough, but during their hundreds of years of inheritance, they have constantly refined and used various props and tools to assist them, forming a relatively reliable system that can deal with many weak monsters.
Meet the needs of some remote villages and small towns.
When encountering monsters that are difficult to deal with and extremely powerful, these fire-breathing masters can also report the information to the outer sect of the Xianyu Sect, so that experts can be invited to help solve the problem. Because of the existence of the Xianyu Sect, other continents
Personnel like the Fire Breathing Master in the county will not cross the border to interfere at will, so that a stable social structure will eventually be formed.
If in the past peaceful and prosperous times, the Xiangyu faction would send letters and notifications to various factions, which was indeed a very tough act, and might be resented or even rejected by factions in various states.
But the current situation is different. The world is in chaos. It is obvious that the world is in chaos. The disaster of Dragon Veins has already occurred in various places. With the current strength of the Four Veins of Quanbo, the factions in the southwestern continents really cannot raise any resistance.
What's more, according to legend, the new leader is the golden sparrow witch granted by the emperor and recognized by Chifeng, who has the ability to regulate the dragon veins in the world.
Anyone with foresight can vaguely perceive the fact that all the southwestern continents may come under the control of this golden bird witch in the future. Regardless of strength, righteousness, or the needs of the people in each state for stability, all will lead to this result.
.
If such a result comes true, today's rebellion may become a joke or even stupid in the future.
This is also the reason why, even though other companies that are not inferior to the Xiangyu Sect in terms of strength come to the door, they are so low-key and hesitant now. In terms of the disciples and strength of the sect, they are not much weaker than the Xiangyu Sect, and they even have their own secret realm of the cave.
However, given the will of the people and the general trend, do we really want to fight for this, even to the point of life and death? I think the request of the Golden Bird Witch is not too much. Isn't it just to cease the war and not participate in the dynastic dispute?
After listening to the explanations of the three people, Lorraine Hill slowly cleared his thoughts, and then he understood the reason why it went so smoothly.
"Looking at it this way, I'm really lucky. I was able to avoid a lot of disasters caused by weapons." The girl sighed softly. She had seen a lot of wars in the Western Continent. It would be great to be able to avoid some now.
After learning some more details, Lorraine Hill asked about another special force.
"Then what is King Dai's reaction now? He will probably be very disgusted, or hate me." Lorraine Hill looked at the red ton tree on the side, thinking of the scene at the tail-burning banquet more than ten years ago.
At that time, King Dai also appeared, but there was no communication between the two. She only remembered that King Dai looked a little fat and not very happy. It seemed that the emperor was supporting King Huainan at that time.
"King Dai..." The three of them looked at each other and then continued.
"Actually, King Dai... In fact, King Dai has fallen into a state of sinking. He drinks and gets drunk every day, and has ignored affairs for a long time."
"Ever since the attack on Luojing failed that day and the army was defeated and the generals were defeated, King Dai lost his spirit. Then the states rebelled, and many counties no longer supported King Dai. Today, only six continents are still attached to King Dai.
, even in these six continents, people are in panic."
"So fragile?" Lorraine Hill blinked in disbelief, seemingly surprised.
In her previous imagination, King Dai should be a scheming and greedy man, so why did he give up like this?
"It seems... yes."
Seeing Lorraine Hill asking again, several people suddenly became a little uneasy, thinking that they had revealed some details that made the senior sister in charge dissatisfied or did not accept it. It seems that after returning this time, they will have to send more people to monitor
Prince Dai's Mansion, if this person is really pretending to be stupid and planning some big plan, it would be terrible if they didn't notice it.
Now that I think about it, it is indeed the case. In the southwestern continents, who else besides King Dai can make big waves? They were too deeply affected by rumors and appearances before. Fortunately, the senior sister in charge reminded me this time, no, they will be stricter in the future.
, and even had to go there in person and send a few of his fellow eighth-level 'Linjing' disciples to monitor King Dai. If King Dai dared to unite with others who came to disobey him, then they cannot be blamed for being ruthless.
After hearing the three people's answers, Lorraine Hill didn't think too much and simply nodded to show that he understood.
"In this case... it should be almost done, and we have to start preparations here."
"The time is set for the fifteenth day of next month. I will lead everyone to hold a ceremony to worship the heaven. First, we will stabilize the dragon veins near Luzhou this time, and then we will go on a parade to calm down the problems in the southwestern states step by step."
"Yes, Senior Sister!" Upon hearing this, the three of them were excited and beamed with joy.
"Also, how are the craftsmen at the outer door prepared?" Lorraine Hill asked about another matter.
"To inform Senior Sister, we have now recruited various craftsmen from Luzhou and the nearby three continents, a total of more than 43,000 people. Now they have been properly resettled, and the construction of workshops and row houses along the river has basically been completed."
"According to the design of the past year, coupled with the drawings and personnel improvements sent by Yanxingmen not long ago, the new floating dragon ship will be finalized by the end of this month. With full efforts to build it, the first batch of twenty-three ships will be built probably next year.
Once the craftsmanship of yellow beech dragon boats is mastered, the output can be roughly doubled in the next year. By the year after next, about forty of the second generation red beech dragon boats will be able to take off and form a fleet that cruises the world."
"That's it. Time is running out. The sooner we put an end to the disaster in this world, the sooner we can restore stability."
Lorraine Hill looked at the lush foliage all over the mountains and fields. His back was stained by red leaves and afterglow, and his voice was filled with long-lasting emotion and nostalgia.
