After the thirteen elders were rescued, it was finally the turn of the rest of the Phoenix clan.
One by one, they worshiped the unattainable Master Feng Zun on the altar more and more, regarding him as their savior.
After all, only immediate interests can truly inspire the emotions in everyone's hearts.
This is normal.
Compared with the elders, the "spiritual accumulation" in the body of ordinary Phoenix monks is more than one level behind, both in quantity and quality.
But fortunately, there are so many people. Apart from the need to "frequently manifest the saint" in terms of cultivation, which is a bit cumbersome, it doesn't have much impact.
In particular, Luo Guan did not feel agitated despite his "lay down" mentality.
It's just that the last step on the road to heaven is obviously not that easy to pass. It will probably take some time to "accumulate" the foundation.
On this day, another "sacred manifestation ended", and as soon as the spiritual mind returned to its original position, a knock on the door was heard.
Swish——
Luo Guan opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed.
Before going into seclusion, he had laid down restrictions and told Sangsang that he should practice peacefully and not disturb her unless necessary.
So, something happened?
It was sudden, but it felt natural. After all, how could the Tianlan Holy Sect, the Yang family, or someone else secretly watch helplessly and watch Yuan Xia Palace go smoothly and gradually gain a foothold in the Canglang Sea? ! After holding back for a long time, it’s time to stir up some trouble.
After finishing his practice, Luo Guan pushed the door open and saw Sang Sang outside. She held Ao Xiu's hand with one hand and said, "Sir, the Master of Summer Palace invites you."
Luo Guan nodded, "Do you know what it is?" As he spoke, he raised his hand to rub the top of Ao Xiu's head. The little girl happily shouted "Brother" and threw herself on him.
Sangsang said: "Yesterday,
It seems that an outsider came to Jiyang Mountain to worship him. His appearance was hurried and there was a smell of blood, but we don’t know exactly what happened. "
Luo Guan hugged Ao Xiu and walked out of the hall. The sun was setting above his head. He subconsciously squinted his eyes to see the glow covering the sky and sweeping the snow and sea of clouds in all directions. He said softly: "Ansheng's life is probably coming to an end for now." .”
A moment later, Xia Xue lived in the main hall.
After Luo Guan arrived, Xia Xue's voice came from the hall without waiting for the female cultivator who blocked the way to go in and report, "We're here, come in."
Sure enough, the rumors were true. The palace lord's cousin was very favored. Several female cultivators outside the hall showed more respect in their eyebrows and retreated to both sides, "Fellow Daoist Wei Zhuang, please come in."
"Thank you." Luo Guan nodded and strode into the hall. This was his first time coming to the place where Xia Xue lived.
Well, very crude.
Apart from the grand style of the building itself, there is almost no decoration.
Bai Jing and Xu Zhou have gathered here. After Luo Guan entered, he nodded to the two of them and stepped forward to salute, "Cousin, I'm here." Compared with the two elders, he and Xia Xueyin " The "nepotism" relationship is more casual, but there is no shortage of etiquette.
Xia Xue glanced at him with interest, "Yes, his aura is restrained and his determination is powerful. It's like a dragon hiding in the abyss, just waiting to take off for nine days."
Bai Jing was okay, but Xu Zhou was already there. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Palace Master, they are still waiting. Let's talk about business."
Looking out of the corner of his eye, there was a hint of depression.
Luo Guan secretly raised his eyebrows, what was he thinking? I have a good impression of you, but now you look down on me? Moreover, Xu Laodao, you actually dare not to give face to my cousin. You are very
Be brave!
Bai Jing said: "Palace Master, Elder Xu is worried about asking for help, and his tone is a bit conflicting. Don't mind it." As he spoke, he winked at Luo Guan again.
Luo Guan didn't know the situation and didn't bother to get into trouble with Xu Zhou. The main reason was that this big boss had a bad temper and was stronger. It was definitely not wise to provoke him. He nodded to Bai Jing and stood aside without saying a word.
Xia Xue's expression did not change at all. She seemed not to care but also seemed to be already familiar with Elder Xu Zhou's temper. She said calmly: "Everyone has arrived. Elder Bai Jing will explain the situation again."
"Yes, Palace Master." Bai Jing saluted and looked at Luo Guan. Obviously, the reason for wasting so much words this time was mainly for him.
"Yesterday, there were old members of the Yuanxia Palace outside the mountain asking for help. Within one day, three parties came together..." He kept the story short and summarized it briefly, with his brows furrowed all the time, obviously feeling uneasy.
Among them, some names of people, places, etc. were involved. Although Luo Guan nodded to indicate that he heard them, he actually had no idea in his mind.
After all, he was not familiar with the place, so he only roughly knew the problem - the former members of the Yuanxia Palace were in crisis and returned to the main sect for help!
Thing, that's all.
After Bai Jing finished speaking, Luo Guan thought for a while and said: "Before Yuanxia Palace reopened, they were stable for many years. Now that Jiyang Mountain has opened, something went wrong... Moreover, in one day, three parties asked for help. Something must be wrong.”
Bai Jing sighed and said: "Yes, I think so too..." After a slight pause, he lowered his voice, "Probably, there are some people who are determined to be evil and know that they are unable to shake Jiyang Mountain, so they hide in the dark and stir up the wind and rain. In fact, hateful!"
Xu Zhou sneered, "Of course it's hateful, but saying this doesn't mean anything.
Meaning, others have already knocked on the door, no matter what, you and I have to continue. "
He didn't seem to be very polite to Bai Jing. He turned around and handed over his hand, "Palace Master, no matter whether there is something hidden this time, we must send someone to rescue her in the shortest possible time, otherwise the truth will be revealed."
This is where the difficulty lies.
As is known to the world, although the Yuanxia Palace has been reopened, the old relatives are scattered in various places, but they are still in a wait-and-see state, and not many people really belong to Jiyang Mountain.
Nowadays, if an old relative asks for help, wouldn’t it be heartbreaking to ignore him? In the future, even if it does happen, there will be some explanation for the "abandonment of the old master" - the master does not care about our life and death, so why should we belong to the master again?
Even if no one talks about it, similar rumors will be spread intentionally. This is something that can be seen. But if we take action... To put it harshly, today's Yuanxia Palace is like a giant tortoise shell. With Xia Xue around, no one dares to come to Jiyang Mountain to act recklessly, but there are not many experts who can really mobilize internally.
With the Six Outer Branches, Canghai Tower and Shenhuo Palace returned to their positions, the Chang family was almost wiped out, with only a brother and sister left, trapped on Tianling Island, not knowing when they would be able to return.
The whereabouts of the remaining three meridians are still unknown... As for the other old departments, it is difficult to regain control, let alone mobilize manpower. Even if you can really mobilize one or two, you may not dare to use it... What if this is a deliberate trap for Yuan Xia Palace?
When Luo Guan thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh. He looked at Bai Jing and then at Xu Zhou. He somewhat understood why he had to wait for him to come today.
But... He Luo, a certain person, also has thin arms and legs. If he steps out of Jiyang Mountain, he might die the next moment.
after all,
This turmoil is most likely a trap.
Bai Jing smiled bitterly and nodded, "Fellow Taoist Xu Zhou is right. Even if we know that there are tigers in the mountains, you and I can only go there bravely."
He shook his head again, looking helpless.
This can be regarded as a kind of conspiracy that cannot be put on the table. It can be seen through but cannot be broken, and one can only follow other people's calculations.
Xia Xue tapped the armrest of the chair with her fingers, making a sound like gold and jade, "Tongshan and Xunyang will be handed over to the two elders Bai Jing and Xu Zhou... As for Fengcheng, it is closest to Jiyang Mountain. , I will go there in person and act quickly, I think nothing will happen."
"No!" As soon as these words came out, Bai Jing and Xu Zhou directly objected loudly.
"Palace Master, when it comes to the survival of Yuanxia Palace, how can you do anything?"
Elder Xu Zhou's words were even more straightforward, "Unless the palace master himself breaks through the eighth realm, you are not allowed to leave Jiyang Mountain no matter what!"
He turned around and looked seriously, the heat wave was overwhelming, "Friend Wei Zhuang, right? At this moment, aren't you ready to contribute to my Yuanxia Palace?!"
At first, when the mountain gate was not open and I went to see Xu Zhou, it was Luo Guan and Bai Jing who led the way.
Afterwards, Jiyang Mountain opened, and all the old relatives of the Yuanxia Palace came to congratulate him. Luo Guan and Bai Jing were on the left and right of Xia Xue.
These are qualifications and cards, which represent some unspecified status...but at the same time, they are also responsibilities and responsibilities.
As the saying goes, if you are in your position, you will seek your own government!
If Luo Guan wants to truly gain a foothold in Yuanxia Palace, he must show the attitude and strength he deserves... Otherwise, even if Xia Xue wants to use him, it will be unjust and unconvinced, and no one will believe him.
Does this count as shooting oneself in the foot? Luo Guan's mind was spinning, darkly
Smiling secretly, but still calm on the surface, he took a step forward and held his hand, "Cousin, Wei Zhuang is willing to go to Fengcheng."
"Okay." Xia Xue agreed immediately. Judging from her expression, she was almost waiting for him to take the initiative to speak.
So, this was planned long ago, right? Just now, what I said about going there in person and doing it for a long time is just to act for me and put more pressure on me! As if aware of something strange in Luo Guan's expression, Xia Xue paused and said, "Are you sure of going here?"
of course not!
Who knows, what kind of situation is this? Luo Guan remained calm and said, "I don't dare to speak nonsense, but no matter what, I will do my best."
If the situation is controllable, then take action to resolve it.
But if it is a life-and-death game...hehehe, those who go to ride the horse "are in their position and seek their own affairs", I will turn around and leave.
Xia Xue's eyes flashed and she nodded, "Okay, I believe in you, and I will leave the matter of Fengcheng to you." She stood up and looked outside the palace, "The wind and rain are starting to rise, and everyone is watching. Please three of you go all out to handle everything properly and don't make any mistakes."
Bai Jing and Xu Zhou bowed and said solemnly: "I will not disappoint the palace master."
He looked sideways again.
Luo Guan:......
See what I do? Gritting his teeth, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother, try your best!"
The three of them left the main hall. Bai Jing smiled and was the first to speak, "Young friend Wei Zhuang is not only highly skilled in cultivation, but also has unpredictable methods. I would like to wish you a safe return soon. I will be there at the celebration banquet." Have a drink with your friends." After saying that, he bowed his hands to Xu Zhougong and turned to leave.
Xu Zhou's expression was still disgusting, and he looked like he didn't like anyone, "Weizhuang, I know that you must be dissatisfied today? But I, Yuanxia Palace, do not care for idleness.
Staff, if you want to rise to the top and keep pace with our generation, then show your strength and merit. "
"I'm waiting for your answer sheet!"
Seeing the two old guys leaving one on the left and the other on the right, Luo Guan wiped his face and thought to himself, what you said sounds really unlucky.
Bah, bah, bah... What are you thinking about? I am blessed with great fortune, you are all dead, and I am fine too.
A female cultivator came forward and saluted respectfully, "Fellow Daoist Wei Zhuang, I will take your order and take you to the guest residence in Fengcheng."
Luo Guan exhaled and nodded, "Thank you."
