Late at night, Wu Gen found the doorman in charge of the guest house and wanted to see Li Yuantong. Seemingly anticipating Wu Gen's arrival, the disciples used a shuttle to transport Wu Gen to the main peak, where the real sect of Guiyuan Sect was located.
Walking in the mountains, feeling the faint formations and some powerful auras around him, Wu Gen secretly sighed, it was indeed a thousand-year-old sect, and its profound heritage was truly admirable.
When they arrived at a side hall on the top of the mountain, Wu Gen was asked to sit in the room and wait for a while. After a while, Li Yuantong slowly walked in from the outside. With a wave of his hand, the chirping of insects and the howling of the wind outside the hall suddenly stopped.
"Sit down, Wu Gen. Why are you looking for me late at night? I am a little worried about letting you go into the mountain. I am the only one in the door who knows what is hidden on you." Li Yuantong made an invitation gesture and took the lead in sitting down. superior.
Wu Gen sat down on the side seat, which was much lower than the main seat. He could only raise his head and answer, "Sect Master, there is really a disturbance late at night. There are some things that I don't understand, and I can't sleep. I would like to ask the Sect Master to clarify my doubts.
Why did the Divine Sect come to Guiyuan Sect? Why did they call Qian Hua back? It was supposed to receive a few people from the Divine Sect. Even if they paid more attention to it, it was enough to have the sect leader. "
"This move is to protect Qian Hua. I have discussed this matter with Jian Xing." Li Yuantong said calmly, "Wu Gen, you should know Qian Hua's life experience."
Wu Gen nodded and motioned for the other party to continue.
"I still remember what happened to Jia Wenyun back then. This time the cult comes back, we have to be on guard against some people taking the opportunity to cause trouble and sow discord between the cult and the State of Zhao." Li Yuantong looked at the empty palace with a serious look on his face.
"It seems that Zhao Guo has made up his mind to compromise with the divine religion this time, otherwise why would he be so careful." Wu Gen smiled and looked up at Li Yuantong, "Sect Master, what happened to the elders of the divine religion back then? , who did what happened to my master’s wife, and why everyone is still keeping it secret after so many years.”
Li Yuantong glanced at Wu Gen and said, "The death of the God's people in Beizhou is very sensitive. A little carelessness may lead to a nationwide war. However, since you are already a person involved, you should know some of the past situations. "
After talking for a long time, Wu Gen just learned that the elders of the divine religion did not die in Zhao State, but were attacked and killed while passing through the territory of the garrison. There are different opinions as to who killed him, making the elders of the cult unable to resist, but the biggest suspicion is still that of the garrison. Since the communication between various countries and the garrison is not smooth, it is not easy to verify.
Jia Wenyun managed to escape with injuries and fled all the way to Zhao State, but was later rescued by Zhu Buzhan. The two of them were still young at the time, so they came together, and that's what happened later.
In fact, this was not the first time that the Divine Sect went to Beizhou to test the area. However, the war with the shepherds was in full swing at that time, and they could not spare any time to go further. Moreover, various countries are quite resistant to the claims of the divine religion, so it is hard to say who did the death of the elder.
In recent years, the war between the cult and the shepherds has gradually subsided, and they finally have the energy to set foot on Beizhou again. With the army pressing down on the border, and under the watchful eye, various countries quickly changed their approach, and the standards of reception were also improved accordingly. They were escorted all the way, for fear that something would happen again and cause trouble.
As for Jia Wenyun's death, Li Yuantong was evasive in his words, apparently unwilling to touch upon this topic too much.
"Sect Master, can Qian Hua be less present during this visit from the Divine Cult? After all, her background is there. If you are not careful, there may be another wave of trouble." When leaving, Wu Gen solemnly requested.
Li Yuantong thought for a long time and finally agreed. Except for the first meeting, Zhu Qianhua did not need to participate.
With Li Yuantong's guarantee, Wu Gen felt at ease and returned to his residence in Ziyue Mountain.
On the second day, the Shen Cult group arrived at Ziyue Mountain. Since he was not a member of the Guiyuan Sect, Wu Gen was not qualified to participate and could only watch from afar.
In addition to the six members of the Divine Cult, those who came this time also included Murong Zhao and Gan Xing from Daxia Kingdom. Guiyuan Sect paid great attention to this time. Under the leadership of Li Yuantong, the eight elders and ten masters of the sect went out to greet him ceremoniously.
After getting off the shuttle, Ji Junlin hurriedly took a few steps with a smile on his face, "Junlin, a junior, is really ashamed to be welcomed by the sect master."
Li Yuantong laughed loudly, "Although Ji Ji is not old, he can represent the divine religion on missions to various countries. He is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among people. It really puts us old guys to shame. Come, come, invite Ji Ji and Mu
Let the prince enter the palace. "
The atmosphere at the scene was harmonious, and everyone was talking about the scene. Surrounded by people from the Guiyuan Sect, the group entered the hall with a roar.
From the beginning to the end, Zhu Qianhua hid among the crowd, keeping his presence in focus and downplaying his presence as much as possible.
Wu Gen looked at Zhu Qianhua worriedly, but he just smiled slightly, indicating Wu Gen not to worry, and then followed everyone into the meeting hall.
Gan Xing looked at Wu Gen's slightly anxious expression, followed his gaze, and walked into the hall thoughtfully.
Wu Gen was naturally unable to participate in the mission's proceedings and could only wander around outside the palace. After this meeting, Guiyuan Sect will still have a banquet for the envoy and his entourage in the palace, and he doesn’t know how long it will take.
Wu Gen stepped into a stone forest in front of the palace, found a stone platform and sat down. The vegetation here is sparse, but on the stone pillar in front of you, there is a yellow flower emerging from the stone gap, quivering and dancing in the wind.
Looking blankly at the delicate yellow flowers, the sun shines on Wu Gen's face through the stone forest, making him look a little more melancholy than a young man should.
If the price of growing up is losing your smile, then growing up will be so boring and gloomy.
"You are Wu Gen." Just as he was sighing, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
Wu Gen suddenly stood up, and this person was able to come up behind him silently, which showed that his cultivation level was not too bad. In front of him was an old man with snow-white hair, holding a fly whisk and looking at Wu Gen with a smile.
"You are..." Wu Gen hesitated, the person in front of him looked quite unfamiliar.
"Don't be surprised. My name is Wu Qingliang. I'm supposed to be Chu Ji's master, but it's a pity that my great disciple was kidnapped. Every time I think about it, I still feel a lot of regret, having lost a successor." With a warm face, he joked with a smile.
Wu Gen finally remembered that this man had fallen in love with Chu Ji at Jinchun Palace, but he took advantage of the opportunity to escape on the road without thinking about himself. This was indeed something he had done wrong. Wu Gen said with rare surprise: "It turns out to be Elder Wu. I'm sorry to see you here." After saying that, he leaned over and gave Wu Qingliang a salute.
"Haha, it doesn't have to be like this. It's also because Chu Ji and I have no fate. I wonder if this girl is still well now." Wu Qingliang stretched out his hand to help Wu Gen. As he stood up, Wu Gen suddenly caught a glimpse of a bright light in his palm, and his body couldn't help but stiffen.
"Elder, something happened for a reason that day. I left in a hurry and didn't think carefully. I forgot to report it to the elder." Wu Gen's expression quickly returned to normal. He took a step back and put some distance between himself and Wu Qingliang. "Chu Ji is now in Zhuji. Juan is also a noble, so I think it would be good to have a good time here."
"That's good, that's good. This kid is quite spiritual, but Guiyuan Sect has lost a good seedling. I heard that you took advantage of my Guiyuan Sect again, and Qian Hua was also kidnapped by you. I can Let me tell you, I will take good care of her this time, and I will never let some bastards get their way." Wu Qingliang pointed at Wu Gen and blinked lightly.
Wu Gen quickly gave another salute, "Thank you, elder, for your kindness. I will definitely not let anyone down."
"There is a banquet for the gods in the temple. I never like to make noises. I used to urinate to escape and take a breath. Just look at you, the little monkey, sighing." Turning around and looking in the direction of the temple, "Okay, it's almost time. I have to I went back to avoid being blamed by the sect master."
After saying that, Wu Qingliang turned around and walked out of the stone forest.
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Wu Gen quickly said: "Elder, Qian Hua doesn't like to make noise, so you might as well let her come out to breathe at the right time."
Wu Qingliang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say."
Looking at the other party's back, Wu Gen's heart suddenly surged.
Just now, Wu Qingliang actually had a knife coin hidden in his hand, which was the symbol of the knife grinding gate. Unexpectedly, the hand of Mo Dao Sect could be extended so long, and a dignified elder from the sect was also a member of the sect.
The other party also hinted in his words that he would take good care of Zhu Qianhua. Could it be the hidden clue in Jiang Qian's mouth.
The Modaomen had nothing to do with the divine sect. With Wu Qingliang in the palace, Wu Gen felt much more at ease. After a while, Zhu Qianhua hurriedly walked out of the meeting hall, and Wu Gen hurriedly greeted him.
The two of them smiled at each other and said, "How is it? Is there any change in the divine religion?" As soon as they met, Wu Gen asked anxiously.
Zhu Qianhua looks back
He glanced at him and pulled Wu Gen towards his residence, "Fortunately, I didn't say anything the whole time, so naturally not many people paid attention to me. Just now, Elder Wu reminded me that I should leave early, so I sneaked out."
"Come on, let's go back. A few strangers from other countries dare to work with Miss Zhu as a companion. It's a shame for them." Wu Gen said angrily and quickened his pace.
"Some people have been wandering outside without even eating." Zhu Qianhua was amused by Wu Gen's expression and made a rare joke.
"Yes, people say that fish in a pond can still live in harmony with each other. When someone eats and drinks with outsiders, he doesn't know that his family is still hungry outside." Wu Gen had a sour taste and looked aggrieved.
"You're a talker." Zhu Qianhua tapped Wu Gen's forehead with his finger, "Come on, go back to your room and I'll make some food for you."
"That's pretty much it."
Returning to Zhu Qianhua's residence, he borrowed pots and pans from the gatekeepers in the courtyard. Zhu Qianhua cooked a few simple meals in the house and finally stopped some people's mouths.
The Shen Sect stayed in Guiyuan Sect for two days. Under Li Yuantong's arrangement, in addition to visiting the magnificent scenery in the mountains, they also exchanged their cultivation experiences with the people in the sect. The atmosphere between the two parties was harmonious.
During this period, the five masked men also demonstrated the magic of the divine religion under Ji Junlin's instructions. The magic spells of the divine sect are mostly supplemented by white light. Suddenly, the light on Ziyue Mountain flashed. This white light seems to be produced by purifying and condensing spiritual energy, and it is very consistent with its own weapons and techniques.
Seeing the opponent's fierce moves and powerful killing power, the faces of the Guiyuan Sect members present were a little solemn. It can be seen that these people's realm is not very high, but their moves are quite lethal, and their use of spiritual power is far better than that of the Beizhou people. Under the same circumstances, it would be difficult for ordinary Qi practitioners to resist the opponent.
This is like the Beizhou people fighting with crude iron, while the Divine Cult has refined the crude iron into steel, which is naturally more lethal.
In this regard, Ji Junlin explained that the divine religion advocated light, and all the spells were created to fight against the adverse alien races. This white light is called Xiguang, which is created to fight against the adverse energy of darkness, and is also a symbol of the divine religion.
Anyone who has entered the divine religion can practice this method. Since the State of Zhao has agreed to establish a temple, and is thinking of selecting a few people from Guiyuan Sect as temple priests, I would also like to ask Li Yuantong to be accommodating.
Li Yuantong thought for a while and then agreed to the other party's request, but there was one thing: it should be voluntary. Ji Junlin is incompetent.
On the third day, members of the mission set up a recruitment platform in front of the meeting hall, and anyone who wanted to practice the magic of the divine religion could come forward to take the test.
The method of this test was quite simple. Three members of the mission each took out a golden object, and when put together they looked like a three-legged golden crow.
The three people activated the Golden Crow and pointed it at the person being tested. A white light would shoot out from the bird's beak. If the person being tested emits white light, it means that he has the qualifications to practice divine magic. The stronger the white light, the better the corresponding qualifications.
This is much more concise and standardized than Beizhou's selection of Qi practitioners, which requires careful understanding by the testee and then judging qualifications based on the amount of spiritual energy entering the body.
Soon, many members of the Guiyuan Sect gathered in front of the recruiting platform.
