After leaving Guichou Mountain, Qin Yu and Zhang Cong walked toward Shakou Village. As they walked, Qin Yu asked: "Brother Zhang Cong, do you know? To the court, this kind of second- and third-rate gangs are the most hateful. Many practitioners
The rules of the world have been completely abandoned by these small gangs. For example, monks cannot interfere with the secular order. This does not exist for the Xuanwu Sect."
Zhang Cong asked strangely: "Why is this? The secular world is the foundation of the spiritual world. Without the seeds provided by the secular world, how can there be fresh blood in the spiritual world?"
Qin Yu sighed: "This Xuanwu Sect is no different from a secular gang. Not only are there foundation-building monks, but there are also many secular mortal gangs. Xuanjian Sect leaves all the matters of collecting money, land and arresting people to the Xuanwu Sect and hides behind it.
Being an example of self-cultivation away from the secular world is something everyone knows.
But after Feng Jian did this, not only did the other sects dare not speak out because they were worried about Xuanjian Sect's strength, but even the imperial court was afraid of Xuanwu Sect. Xuanwu Sect was easy to destroy, but it offended Xuanjian Sect, even Jin Dan
The monk also has a headache. These days, strength determines everything. If your appearance hadn't broken this stagnant water, I don't know how long this stalemate would have lasted."
Zhang Cong asked doubtfully: "The Xuanwu Sect violently interfered with the secular order, and the court just let it go?"
Qin Yu smiled bitterly: "How can we say this? For example, the spar mine in Laojun Mountain and the hundreds of hectares of medicinal fields under Xuantian Ridge are now clearly the property of Xuanwu Sect.
They forced the villagers to transfer the forest land to Xuanwumen. No matter whether the people were willing to do this or not, Xuanwumen could produce the transfer documents. As for the methods they used behind the scenes, you could guess it with your eyes closed. In addition, the court also
Some officials are colluding with the Xuanjian Sect, so it will be even more difficult to deal with them."
Zhang Cong nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that the Xuanjian Sect's extended hand has attracted the attention of the Prince of Linzhou. Your grandfather is in charge of the Royal Forest Guards. Is he considered to be on the Prince's side?"
Qin Yu nodded: "The Royal Forest Guard is an organization directly under the royal palace. It not only has the intelligence department Fengxun Hall, but also the Black Cavalry and Banxiantang. It controls almost half of the elite armored soldiers and monks of the Linzhou Dynasty, but this still can't be done
To compete with a large sect like Xuanjian Sect, Banxiantang only has two Jindan monks, and they are ranked outside the top ten.
In the past hundred years, Xuanjian Sect has firmly grasped the cultivation resources. Not to mention the lack of resources and talents in other sects, even the monks supported by the imperial court often fall into the dilemma of having no resources to practice, so the basket of mulberry spirit you gave me
We couldn't bear to eat any of the fruit, so we asked my sister to send it back to the royal city in person, not because we haven't seen the world, but because there are people who need it more than us."
Zhang Cong looked at the helpless Qin Yu and suddenly asked: "Yishui Prince's Palace is a small court in Linzhou. Why didn't they come forward to unite the major sects, destroy the Xuanjian Sect, take back the Lingshi Mine, and let the Prince's Palace coordinate the mining and distribution?"
?This will not only make the foundation of the palace more solid, but it will also be beneficial to the development and supervision of the Dharma practice world?"
Qin Yu shook his head: "My official position is low and I have no access to the senior officials of the imperial court, let alone the thoughts of the palace. How could King Yishui not know what you said? As for why there has been no action for so long, maybe it is because there is no time?"
Zhang Cong looked at the mountains in the distance and said coldly: "Coil this pool of stagnant water, pull out the Xuanjian Sect's minions, and force them to go down the mountain and fight against the Shadow Pavilion Alliance. If King Yishui is still hiding in the palace as a cow,
If you are a fool, then there will be no hope for Linzhou."
Qin Yu followed Zhang Cong silently, and after a while he suddenly asked: "Brother Zhang Cong, do you want to meet my grandpa?"
Zhang Cong was stunned: "I have not thought about participating in the disputes between Jianghu and Jianghu for the time being. I attacked Xuanjian Sect because they provoked me first. Then will it be useful if I go to see your grandfather? Can your grandfather persuade King Yishui to intervene in Jianghu?
What?"
Qin Yu thought for a moment and said: "First, if the Royal Forest Guards make friends with you, you will get more information. After all, there are Fengxun Hall spies everywhere in Linzhou, which may be more helpful for you to find someone.
Secondly, you are fighting against the Xuanjian Sect alone. Not to mention the danger, it is still unknown whether you can achieve your goal. The big sect has many concerns. Will it really start a sect war just because a few monks have died?
In addition, you don’t even have a master now. If you really encounter problems in cultivation, who are you going to ask? Not only will your progress be slow if you just rely on yourself to explore, you may even go crazy. Although my grandfather is not among the top ten of Jindan, he can
He is also a genuine late-stage Jindan cultivator. Even if he is not your master, it is better to give you some pointers than to work behind closed doors, right?"
Zhang Cong thought for a moment, then looked back at Qin Yu with a sincere face and said: "I have a lot of secrets, such as the secret valley I took you to and the wisteria sword I gave you. These things are simply incomprehensible with my current cultivation level.
Dare to see the light, this is also one of my concerns about not contacting the outside world.
Furthermore, the method I practiced was inherited from a deceased master. He was a sworn enemy of the Xuanjian Sect, so I did not dare to reveal my true swordsmanship easily.
For these reasons, I always practice alone. Unexpectedly, Wang Qianye forced me to the front desk.
It's okay to go see your grandfather, but let's talk about serving the imperial court. I still like to live an unfettered life. When I find Xiaohua, I will take her to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, concentrate on her cultivation, and will no longer interfere with the world of mortals."
Qin Yu listened to Zhang Cong and sighed leisurely: "Brother Zhang Cong, you don't have to worry so much. You are my friend, how could I cheat you? My grandfather is very easy-going, but he is very principled and never relies on power.
To benefit ourselves, otherwise why would my eldest sister and I just be the secret hall masters and not stay in the royal city long ago? Grandpa is a very upright person, you can rest assured, besides, if you don’t take out your things, who will?
Know?"
Zhang Cong nodded, and the two stopped talking, because in front of them was the hundred hectares of medicine garden under Xuantian Ridge.
In the medicine garden in the dark night, you can't see what is planted at a distance. You can only see a large area of dark plants, and you can smell the fragrance of the medicine even from a distance.
Zhang Cong stared at the medicinal garden for a moment, and suddenly said to Qin Yu: "You can communicate with the purple spirit in the divine palace and ask her to absorb all the essence of the herbs in the medicinal garden. She will definitely be willing to do this."
Qin Yu looked at Zhang Cong in confusion and asked: "Is this possible? Zi Ling is a vine spirit, and he is so young. Can he really absorb spiritual energy like a human?"
Zhang Cong looked at Qin Yu and shook his head: "It seems that you still don't understand elves? If this kind of wood elf wants to grow, it must absorb more plant essence, and after she absorbs it, she will feed some of it back to you. You two are
A win-win situation, actually I don’t understand this either, it’s all what others told me.”
Zhang Cong really didn't understand, but just now, the little Chilong in the Divine Mansion suddenly sent a message, saying this.
The level of Chilong is much higher than that of the Vine Spirit, so it is not surprising at all to know how the Vine Spirit practices. Now this little guy is soaking in a large pool of Thunder Spirit Liquid. He is too lazy to move unless he sees rare things, but with
Zhang Cong has no problem communicating at all.
The only thing that Xiao Chilong was afraid of was the yellow pearl fruit, which made Zhang Cong feel very strange.
As soon as Zi Ling came out, just as Xiao Chilong said, he saw a flash of purple light, and Zi Ling rushed into the medicine field. Zhang Cong could see it, and a green mist rose up from the whole medicine field.
Go straight towards the flickering flame.
After only ten minutes, the essence of the entire medicinal field had been sucked up by this little guy. The flame, which was originally only the size of a lantern, turned out to be much bigger. It circled around Zhang Cong and Qin Yu twice before returning.
Qin Yu went to sleep in his divine palace.
Qin Yu opened his mouth wide and watched Zi Ling sucking the essence of the hundreds of hectares of medicinal fields. He didn't recover until Zi Ling went back. Zhang Cong touched her with his hand, and she came to her senses and ran away.
Go to the edge of the medicinal field and pick a medicinal herb. While looking at it, you return to Zhang Cong and hand the medicinal herb to Zhang Cong.
The big green leaves that were supposed to be emerald green turned out to be withered and wilted, as if they had experienced a severe drought. Not only had the water evaporated, not even any of the medicinal properties inside were left, making them just like hay.
Zhang Cong threw away the hay and walked up the mountain shaking his head. Qin Yu behind him murmured: "This little guy is really good at eating. How will he feed himself in the future?"
Zhang Cong said with a smile: "It's okay. If you don't like whoever you like, just spread her out and cause trouble. I guarantee that that family's fields will not be harvested."
Qin Yu glared at Zhang Cong's back and snorted: "I hate it. You just talk nonsense when I tell you something serious."
Xuanwumen really occupies a good place. Although Xuantian Ridge is not high, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The main peak is a steep rocky mountain. Except for some plants on the top of the mountain, the mountain walls of hundreds of meters are bare.
No grass grows.
This main peak is where the sect of Xuanwu Sect is located. Although there are many buildings and many disciples in the several halls at the foot of the mountain, almost all of them are mortals who are not qualified to practice qi. Hundreds of people who have practiced qi are all on Tianzhu Peak.
Zhang Cong and Qin Yu concealed themselves, suppressed their spiritual power to a very low level, and quietly came to the foot of Tianzhu Peak. Sure enough, they saw a ladder hanging on the cliff next to the foot of the mountain. If this cliff of several hundred meters, if
Upon discovering the enemy attack, he closed the ladder and faced the arrow rain on the top of the mountain. It was not easy for even a big Jindan boss to climb up.
As long as they can hold on for a few days and wait for the Xuanjian Sect to come to help, the enemies who attack the mountain will be in a situation where they are attacked from both sides. Therefore, there are not many sects that dare to make plans in this weak Xuanwu Sect.
Zhang Cong stood by the ladder and watched for a while. He suddenly pulled Qin Yu to the side. After walking far away, he said: "You can't go up this ladder. There are many bells hanging on the ladder. Even if we are invisible, we can't be seen."
This weight cannot be hidden, and it will be exposed as soon as we step on the soft ladder. Not only will we not be able to go up to Tianzhu Peak, we will also have to face attacks from hundreds of gang members behind us. We have to find a place to think of a solution."
The two of them circled around Tianzhu Peak. Zhang Cong pointed to the huge rock wall in front of him and said: "This is the steepest place, but it is also the place where the defense is relatively weak. Let's go up from here."
