Beihai Jianzong has many mountains and chaotic factions, which is no secret to Xuanjie.
Many people even believe that if it weren't for the great elder Bai Changsheng who has been acting as a lubricant to mediate various chaos and conflicts within the Beihai Sword Sect, the Beihai Sword Sect would have split long ago.
Therefore, to outsiders, the most respected person in the Beihai Sword Sect is not Xu Ping, the sect leader of the Beihai Sword Sect, nor Zhou Tianjian, who is still famous on the list of peerless swordsmen. Chen Buwei, let alone the so-called Beihai Double Swords
The Demon Sword, Xu Chen, and the Star-Breaking Sword, Shen De, were Bai Changsheng who was always smiling and had a kind face.
Shen De became famous three thousand years ago. He personally experienced the attack on the island by the Evil Sword Sect. It was that battle that made him and Xu Chen famous in a battle, and they were known as the Double Swords of the North Sea. At that time, there were many
Many people are looking forward to the fact that these two swords can be combined to make the Beihai Sword Sect stronger.
In fact, Shen De and Xu Chen were once good friends who cherished each other. Both of them made great efforts for the Beihai Sword Sect.
However, due to ideological differences, the two eventually parted ways.
Now one has become the spiritual leader of the radicals, and the other has become the spiritual leader of the hardliners.
But what Shen De didn't expect was that one day he would become the new head of the Beihai Sword Sect.
Having accomplished a goal that he thought would take hundreds or even thousands of years to achieve in one fell swoop, Shen De was actually a little confused inside.
It wasn't until he followed Elder Bai Changsheng to the main peak that he suddenly came back to his senses.
The Beihai Sword Sect, or Beihai Sword Island, occupies the largest island in the Beihai Islands as the sect's base.
There are mountains, forests and lakes on this island. It can be said that the scenery is quite beautiful, no worse than anywhere in the five continents.
The main hall of the Beihai Sword Sect is located on a main peak in the middle of the island - the altitude of this main peak is about 500 meters. For those in the Xuanjie who want to build the sect's main hall in the peak of Ruyun, Beihai Sword Island
The location of the main hall is not outstanding, but compared to the other peaks on Beihai Sword Island, it is high enough.
Perhaps this is another manifestation of making a taller person out of a short person.
In addition to being the formal place used by the Beihai Sword Sect to entertain and receive guests, the main hall is actually also the living room of the leader. The single-family garden behind the main hall is the living room of the Beihai Sword Sect.
Only the head's family and a group of true disciples are eligible to live here. Even servants and followers are not eligible to live here and can only live in the house at the foot of the main peak.
In addition, this is also the hub, core, and eye of the three formations of the entire Beihai Sword Sect's mountain-protecting formation, the outer gate formation, and the inner gate formation. It is the foundation for controlling all formations on the entire Beihai Sword Island.
.
Shen De is very clear about every plant, tree and step on this main peak. Even if he becomes blind, he will never fall here. Because he and Xu Chen were both
A true disciple of the previous generation of Beihai Sword Sect leader, he lived on this main peak for quite a long time - strictly speaking, he and Xu Chen were called Elder Bai, Master Uncle, and Chen Buwei was Grand Master Uncle.
As for the current sect leader of Beihai Sword Sect, although he, Xu Chen and Shen De are peers, they did not worship the previous sect leader.
In fact, the outside world has long forgotten about the Xie Ming Sword Sect's attack on the island. After all, who is not a disciple of the Beihai Sword Sect, who would seriously remember this piece of history that has nothing to do with them?
Therefore, naturally not many people in Xuanjie now know that Xu Chen and Shen De, the pair of Beihai Swordsmen, are real disciples of the same sect, and the previous old sect leader also died of exhaustion in the island attack battle of the Evil Sword Sect.
It was Zhou Tianjian and Chen Buwei who finally stood up to turn the tide. The person who later became the leader was Xu Ping, who had almost no foundation or support at the time.
To use a favorite Buddhist saying, things in the world are impermanent and everything is predestined.
But Shen De didn't like this statement.
Sword cultivators should use their swords to earn their lives. My fate is up to me. The so-called impermanence of the world is just an excuse for my own lack of ability.
Therefore, Shen De does not like Buddhism and does not like the weak Xu Ping.
But Shen De respected Huang Zi very much.
The reason is also very simple.
Huang Zi is the strongest among the Five Emperors of the human race. Even Yin Lingzhu, the strongest swordsman recognized by all sword cultivators, can only succumb to Huang Zi.
Tianjian, Yin Lingzhu, Mr. Da, Zhang Sunqing, Living Buddha, Zen Master Shanxing, Old Man Shenji, Gu Sicheng, plus Huang Zi from Taiyi Valley, are the five emperors who represent the strongest individual combat power of the human race today. As representatives of the heads of the three major families
The Three Emperors
, slightly inferior to the Five Emperors in terms of personal strength, but the symbolic meaning of the Three Emperors is not "individual combat power", but the focus is on the word "Emperor", which is a symbol of group strength. After all, there are still differences between aristocratic families and sects.
Very different.
At least, it is impossible for the sect to keep the same word.
But the aristocratic family can - the person who can become the head of the aristocratic family is not the smartest in the whole family, but must be the strongest in the whole family. Only in this way can they truly convince the public. Because those who don't obey them have already been fighting for the head of the family.
In the process of assuming the position, he became a withered skeleton.
Shen De was also young and frivolous, had many ideals, and...
In the dead of night, when he was dreaming quietly, he fantasized about standing on the top of the Mysterious World - after all, it only took him less than eight hundred years from embarking on the path of cultivation to becoming famous in the Mysterious World.
However, it took Shen De three thousand years to go from becoming famous in one battle to becoming the master of a sect.
Now, he is nearly four thousand years old, and he has accepted two direct disciples, and there are more than ten real disciples, not to mention those named disciples. But as his cultivation level becomes higher and higher, Shen De becomes more and more interested in this world.
The more awe-struck.
"Are you nervous?" Bai Changsheng said suddenly with his back to Shen De.
"No." Shen De shook his head while walking on the mountain stairs, "I'm just feeling a little emotional."
Bai Changsheng nodded and did not ask Shen De what he was feeling.
Climbing up the climbing steps, Shen De looked at the familiar flowers and plants. The scenes of the past thousands of years were constantly recalled in his mind, but his heart suddenly became peaceful. At this moment, Shen De
De's overall aura was no longer as cold and cold as an unsheathed sword, and even the aura of the sword was overwhelming. Instead, it seemed as if a sheath had finally been put on his body, completely restraining his sharp edge.
Bai Changsheng noticed this change in Shen De, and the expression on his face couldn't help but laugh.
He didn't speak.
Because he was afraid of interrupting Shen De's hard-won understanding of the great road.
If, before climbing the mountain, Shen De was still the junior who became famous in one battle in the eyes of Bai Changsheng. If he really had to risk his life, he was confident that he would be able to win half way - maybe he would not escape death, but
After all, the time it took him to confess his regrets was longer than that of Shen De.
But now.
Bai Changsheng knew that if he risked his life, he would definitely die.
This is a matter of accumulation.
The essence accumulated for three thousand years finally erupted at this time.
Bai Changsheng smiled heartily.
Not long after, they arrived in front of the main hall.
At this time, Shen De finally came to his senses.
"Are you ready?" Bai Changsheng asked.
Obviously, he has been waiting here for a long time.
Recalling his previous state, Shen De was also a little embarrassed.
However, after he took a deep breath, he returned to the temperament and demeanor of the hard-line spiritual leader: "Let's go, Mr. Bai."
"good."
Elder Bai took a step back and stood behind Shen De.
Shen De knew what it meant and did not stop him. Instead, he stepped forward and walked towards the main hall.
The strength of the Beihai Sword Sect may be at the bottom among the nineteen sects, but it is definitely the most wealthy one.
Therefore, this hall was built with great splendor.
It can even be said to be luxurious.
The size of the general sect's reception hall is usually not too large. In addition to the main seat, there are usually two or four seats on each side, representing the middle number "five" and the extreme number respectively.
"Nine", this is a kind of prospect meaning for one's own status. Even if it is a big sect because it has
When there are more guests to receive, the number of seats cannot be so few, but there are traces according to different rules - for example, the number of four images is twenty-eight, the number of Tiangang is thirty-six, and the number of avenue is forty-nine.
, sixty-four in the Bagua number, one hundred and eight in the Arhat number, three hundred and six in the Zhoutian number, etc.
But there will never be the number seventy-two, because it is unlucky.
Of course, twenty-eight, thirty-six, sixty-four, as well as one hundred and eight, and three hundred and six, these numbers are all even numbers. If the main position is included, it will easily cause asymmetry - this is also Feng Shui in Kanyu.
A kind of corruption - therefore, usually in this even-numbered guest seating layout, there will be one, two, three, and four seats on the left and right directly in front of the main seat, which are also commonly known as the three seats with the finishing touch.
, five directions, seven stars, nine palaces.
The Beihai Sword Sect is rather special.
In order to show its wealth and wealth, the reception hall of the main hall is not only huge, but also has a three-week cycle of guest seats - one thousand and eighty guest seats. Directly in front of the main seat is the number 49 of the avenue.
The two sets of guest seats just imply the mystery of Dao Zhoutian, and they are also the grand array of the master's living space.
All of this was done by Xu Ping.
Shen De always felt that this was a behavior of the nouveau riche, and he was quite shameless.
After all, compared to the current appearance of being wealthy and wealthy, he preferred the former Beihai Sword Sect, which was more warm and humane.
This is also the reason why Shen De has been less willing to come to the main peak since Xu Ping became the leader.
But today is different.
Because of Huang Zi's visit, and also because of him, Shen De will be the new head of the Beihai Sword Sect from today on.
But when Shen De stepped into the doorway of the hall, his brows raised involuntarily.
His face suddenly darkened.
The person sitting in the main seat of the main hall at this time is not anyone from their Beihai Sword Sect, but Huang Zi!
"Valley Master Huang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Bai Changsheng sensed Shen De's emotional changes and immediately spoke first, fearing that Shen De would become angry and say something he shouldn't have said, "Now
We can start discussing the matters you just mentioned, which are related to the survival of the Beihai Sword Sect."
Shen De calmed down his emotions.
He saw that Chen Buwei had his eyes lowered, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
His senior brother Xu Chen also had the same indifferent expression. But from the sarcasm on his face from time to time, we could also know the anger in his heart at this time. However, his anger was not directed at Su Anran, but at Xu Ping.
After all, the leader of a dignified sect actually gave up his position. This is really cowardly.
What's more, this kind of cowardice is not directed at him personally, but also brings shame to the entire Beihai Sword Sect.
Shen De finally knew why Bai Changsheng didn't let him bring Zhu Yuan and Zhang Yiqin with him just now.
Because it's so embarrassing.
Among the people present at this time, apart from the five people responsible for all affairs of the entire Beihai Sword Sect, the only ones were Huang Zi and Fang Qianwen from Taiyi Valley.
Compared with Huang Zi's reputation and the reputation that his evil disciples have caused in the Xuan Realm, Fang Qianwen is not famous in the Xuan Realm. Many people who don't know even mistakenly think that Shangguan Xin is from Taiyi Valley.
big
Disciple. But in fact, only the sects that really have business with Taiyi Valley will know how terrifying and difficult Fang Qianwen is, so much so that no one has ever lamented that Fang Qianwen is Taiyi Valley’s real sea-fixing needle.
Therefore, Fang Qianwen has always been nicknamed the Great Butler of Taiyi Valley.
Seeing Fang Qianwen following Huang Zi at this moment, Shen De knew that the next wrangling work would be the most painful.
Only at this time will the Beihai Sword Sect remember that Xu Ping, the leader, is not a useless snack.
"It's okay." Huang Zi waved his hand carelessly, then reached for the tea cup next to him and took a sip, "Anyway, something really happened, and it was your Beihai Sword Sect that was wiped out, not me, Taiyi Valley. What do you love?
Let’s discuss it at any time, I’m not in a hurry.”
The kind smile on the good old man Bai Changsheng's face froze instantly.
Chen Buwei, who had been keeping his eyes lowered, also opened his eyes and looked at Huang Zi, who was sitting in the front seat.
His eyes were clear and solid, and the air seemed to be filled with awe-inspiring sword energy.
Huang Zi was still smiling, showing no emotion or anger.
But he just put the tea cup in his hand gently on the table, and heard a crisp "ding" sound, and the sinister sword energy that filled the air instantly dispersed.
Chen Buwei's eyes closed again.
But the people present were all highly cultivated people. How could they not know that the moment Huang Zi put down the tea cup, Chen Buwei let out a very subtle groan. It was obvious that the cold sword energy just now had been suppressed by Su Anran.
Forced dispersal was not as easy as he showed.
, it must have been a backlash - Chen Buwei's nickname is Zhou Tianjian, also known as Zhou Tianjianxian. What he is really good at is forming a formation with just one thought. He can make the sword energy form a sword formation in an instant as long as he takes action, so the formation is called "Zhou Tianjian".
If you break it forcefully, you will naturally suffer backlash.
Everyone knows how strong Huang Zi is, so it is natural for Chen Buwei's sword formation to be broken.
But that was not what frightened them at this time.
Rather, they simply did not see how Huang Zi broke through Chen Buwei's sword formation, and they did not even know whether Chen Buwei's sword formation had taken shape.
"Old Chen, you are no longer young, so don't imitate those young people who act impulsively. You see, the sword energy backfired and injured the meridians, and you had to spend decades to recuperate to recover. Why do you think you should do this?"
"Yeah." Huang Zi shook his head, "Qianwen, I'll give you a healing medicine for Uncle Chen."
Listening to Su Anran's words, others present suppressed their inner anger.
Chen Buwei was the senior one among all the Beihai Sword Sect present. He was Bai Changsheng’s uncle and the great uncle of Xu Ping, Xu Chen and Shen De. At this moment, Su Anran changed Fang Qianwen’s seniority with just one word.
After being raised up to be on an equal footing with Bai Changsheng, Bai Changsheng is fine. Calling Fang Qianwen junior sister is not a shame, but what about the other three of them?
A group of monks in the Taoist realm called Fang Qianwen, a young monk in the natal realm now, Master Fang?
This Huang Zi is so annoying!
This is the sentiment of Shen De and others.
But after all, they couldn't speak out their inner feelings, so without Huang Zi making it clear, they certainly didn't intend to suffer this loss and just pretended they didn't hear it.
"Uncle Chen, this is the Nine Turns Pill that I refined. It can cure all your internal injuries." Fang Qianwen handed a brocade box to Chen Buwei with an obedient look on her face, and also explained to Chen Buwei the use of this elixir very thoughtfully.
Things to note when doing so.
As a sect's decision-makers like them, they naturally know how mysterious Taiyigu Fang Qianwen's elixir is. Chen Buwei is not a fool, so naturally he cannot refuse.
But he could also hear the hidden meaning in Fang Qianwen's words: You'd better take this elixir now, I don't think there will be any problems; if you want to store it for later use, what will happen then?
The problem is none of my business.
So without any hesitation, Chen Buwei swallowed the elixir directly and started refining it.
Bai Changsheng glanced at Fang Qianwen who timidly returned to Huang Zi's side. He did not dare to regard this female doll as a harmless rabbit. He was fortunate enough to have seen Fang Qianwen become serious and argue with Xu Ping. Originally, he
He planned to use Chen Buwei's momentum to check and balance the situation, but he didn't expect that Huang Zi was superior and found an excuse to make Chen Buwei angry, and then directly destroyed him.
At this point, Bai Changsheng has completely admitted defeat.
In the next negotiation, I am afraid that the Taiyi Valley's big housekeeper will go in and out with red swords.
I don't know why, but Bai Changsheng felt more comfortable after accepting his fate.
It’s not the first time anyway, is it?
Moreover, even if they end up agreeing to a treaty that is humiliating and humiliating the country, it will definitely be Xu Ping who takes the blame, and not anyone else present.
Forget it, forget it, it doesn't matter, don't care.
So, Bai Changsheng spoke: "Master Huang, I don't know what you mean when you come here this time and talk about important matters related to the life and death of our Beihai Sword Sect? We don't quite understand. I wonder if you can tell us in detail.
explain."
"Of course." Huang Zi smiled and said, "Qianwen, come on."
