Qiu Guiqiu came to Changsheng Village. When he passed the stone tablet at the entrance of the village, the people inside immediately felt something.
When they saw Qiu Guiqiu's clothes, the villagers inside all showed joy.
"He's the great master of the Chiyuan Taoist sect!"
"Look, I knew it. Chiyuan Taoist sect will not lose!"
"Sir, how is the current situation of the Demon Tribulation? Should our village move in?"
Many villagers gathered around and asked Qiu Guiqiu questions.
Faced with this situation, although Qiu Guiqiu had foreseen it, a trace of embarrassment still flashed across his face.
Faced with the enthusiasm of the crowd, he hesitated to speak.
"You people-"
An old man holding a wooden staff staggered over.
Although he has some cultivation and is about to enter the foundation building stage, his lifespan is about to run out and he is at the end of his life.
"Everyone, step back, everyone, step back! The eldest master has returned from slaying demons all the way. Now we should let him have a good rest. We will talk about other things later."
This old man had a great reputation in the village, and the villagers silently stepped back, allowing the old man to lead Qiu Guiqiu and his party to his home to rest.
On the road, there were many cheerful children holding flower garlands and giving them to Qiu Guiqiu.
"Big brother... what is the Chiyuan Taoist sect like? Can I become a disciple with my level of cultivation?"
Facing the child's question, and in the strange eyes of Fu Yaozhen and others, Qiu Guiqiu picked up the child and said with a smile: "The Chiyuan Taoist sect does not care about your basic cultivation, as long as you are willing to work hard to practice. Take it all! After that, go to the mountains. Carry out mountain guarding and patrolling to maintain the normal operation of Wanyue Realm."
"Is Big Brother also coming back from a mountain somewhere?"
Thinking of what happened to his mountain, Qiu Guiqiu felt a little sad on his face.
Look, this village has a very good attitude towards the Chiyuan Taoist sect?
Fu Xuanxing was secretly surprised.
Suddenly, someone quietly touched his bandaged hand. He was startled and quickly took a step back.
But he saw a little girl holding a rag doll standing there at a loss, seemingly a little frightened by Fu Xuanxing.
Seeing the little girl's expression about to cry, Fu Xuanxing was a little at a loss.
Fu Yaozhen hurried over and gently picked up the girl to comfort her.
"look."
With a slight hook of his fingers, gorgeous butterflies flew around them.
The beautiful sound of the piano rises along with the butterflies.
Seeing this, Fu Tongjun silently retracted his feet, walked to Fu Xuanxing, and whispered: I checked, this village is just some villagers with Qi refining skills, and there are no enemies.
"Yes, I know."
Fu Xuanxing dealt with it, not letting down his guard.
Those who attacked him were not from Nanzhou, nor the so-called "Yuan Yue", but a group of people who had wanted his life for a long time.
In Donglai, Fu Xuanxing encountered several similar assassinations. They all relied on Fu Yaozhen's ability to predict the unknown and successfully escaped the assassination. But now - they can actually catch up to Nanzhou?
After Fu Yaozhen comforted the girl, the girl asked timidly: "Sister, are you also a practitioner of the Chiyuan Taoist sect?"
"I……"
Fu Yaozhen hesitated.
"They are also righteous people who help Wanyue Realm, protect the safety of Wanyue Realm with us, and protect everyone."
Qiu Guiqiu quickly came over to help Fu Yaozhen out of the siege.
Although they learned that they were not disciples of Chiyuan, the villagers still gathered enthusiastically until they entered the old man's home.
Along the way, in addition to the flowers and garlands sent by the children, they also received seasonal vegetables, eggs and meat from many villagers. Even at the old man's home, people kept coming to deliver home-made bacon and jam.
Seeing the treatment of Chiyuan's disciples, and seeing how they were ostracized by major sects and families not long ago, they became wary. Many sects even became disloyal and secretly planned to join forces with the devil. Fu Yaozhen and his party were somewhat at a loss.
Isn’t the difference in treatment too big?
Qiu Guiqiu saw many items sent by the villagers and quickly said to the old man: "Let everyone put these things away quickly! Our Chiyuan Taoist sect has rules and is not allowed to take offerings from the people of Wanyue Realm at will."
The old man shook his head and said: "Those are normal times. Naturally, we don't dare to make offerings to the great old men indiscriminately, so as not to cause the old men to be punished by the immortals. But now is an emergency. These melons, fruits and bacon are also spiritual things we planted and made. A little bit can Increase some spiritual energy. We can't help the great masters eliminate demons, but we still have the power of some offerings."
He tapped the ground heavily with his crutch: "There are no eggs left behind when the nest is overturned. I understand this truth. Nowadays, we all rely on the protection of the Chiyuan Taoist sect for our comfort. If the Chiyuan Taoist sect disappears, we will We must return to the environment described by our elders. Therefore, even for ourselves, we do not want the Chiyuan Taoist sect to fail."
When Fu Yaozhen heard this, he silently glanced at Fu Tongjun.
Mr. Fu Tong nodded silently and had already sent Gu worms to investigate.
Qiu Guiqiu had no choice but to accept many gifts from the villagers.
Under the arrangement of the old man, everyone was divided into three rooms to rest.
The old man smiled and said, "Young men, please rest for now. In the evening, I will personally cook and prepare a spiritual meal for you."
Changsheng Village is located on a spiritual cave, and not only the villagers have turned into spiritual beings. The grains they grow and the livestock they raise are also spiritual grains and spiritual animals.
In the evening, everyone enjoyed a delicious local spiritual meal at the old man's home.
The completely different flavor of Lingshan, the young master should like it very much.
Hengshou silently wrote down these dishes, and even asked the old man to pack the extra meals from the kitchen and try to send one to Fu Henghua.
…
"The sansho pepper is spicy but not without flavor. The chicken is moderately soft and smooth, not too dry. Especially the small variety of ingredients but the large amount, it is full of the unique flavor of local cuisine."
Fu Henghua sat in the room and enjoyed "Fried Red Chicken with Green Mountain Pepper" with Xiaoyu.
"But from the perspective of the function of spiritual food, it is the lowest level. It only has the effect of restoring qi and blood and relieving fatigue."
Seeing Henghua finish his evaluation, Xiaoyu added another bowl of rice to his empty porcelain bowl.
"His food tastes too spicy, which is not in line with our family's bland taste. The young master should not eat too much. On the other hand, his rice is very good. Whether it is our Panlong Island or Baixian Waters, there is very little Seeing such good quality rice.”
Xiaoyu traveled many places with Fu Henghua, and only in a few places such as Yuting Mountain, he saw this kind of high-quality, extremely spiritual rice.
"Perhaps we can beg for some rice?"
Henghua nodded silently, and then silently stared at the meal delivered by Hengshou.
The food is not poisonous and can reflect the intentions of the cook. The other party is indeed grateful to the Chiyuan Taoist sect wholeheartedly.
"There are a lot of subtleties in this."
…
After dinner, Yuwen Chunqiu and others went back to their rooms to rest. When he and Qiu Guiqiu were in the same room, they couldn't help but ask about Changsheng Village's attitude towards the Chiyuan Taoist sect.
Qiu Guiqiu had a normal attitude: "Isn't this normal? People from the Changsheng Village can join our sect after passing the Chiyuan assessment. I am also from a Changsheng Village, so of course I will like the Chiyuan Taoist sect? Chiyuan Taoist sect. The Yuan Dao Sect is the protector of You Continent. Without the Chi Yuan Dao Sect, the demons from the other two continents would have already invaded. Even underground..."
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked out the window.
Yuwen Chunqiu also felt that there were several inspirations outside that were gradually approaching.
"Is it the immortal way?" Yuwen Chunqiu felt a little calmer. People of the righteous way are easy to talk to, but they are not evil people and cannot fight.
But Qiu Guiqiu's expression did not relax, but he stared closely at the group of people entering the village.
"If you enter the village in the middle of the night, you're bound to be up to no good."
Sure enough, after entering the village, the group of people went straight to the homes of several village stewards.
Qiu Guiqiu squinted his eyes and silently paid attention with his spiritual consciousness.
Yuwen Chunqiu followed suit and observed the actions of those monks.
One of the monks came to the house where they were staying and asked the old man who entertained them to leave.
The old man was startled when he saw Qiu Guiqiu and Yuwen Chunqiu moving invisibly, standing on both sides of him. He silently gained confidence and followed the group of monks to the village chief's home.
…
The two girls Fu Yaozhen were sitting in the room and also noticed the situation here.
However, the two girls did not come out to see each other because of Yu Wen Chunqiu's instructions. Instead, they continued to discuss the information they collected from Changsheng Village in the room.
"According to what my Gu insect said, the land where this village is located was the land of the Baoxiang Sect more than a thousand years ago. With the Chiyuan Taoist sect reshaping the mountains and rivers and establishing the Wanyue Realm, the land of the mountains and rivers was distributed to mortals. And divided into villages and towns.”
"mortal?"
Fu Yaozhen heard a very subtle word.
"No monk?"
"The Lingshan Cave occupied by the monks is naturally his own. But the circled territory is gone. After being taken away by the Chiyuan Taoist sect, it was distributed to mortals. So..."
"Those mortals, after thousands of years of rebirth, transformed into spirit beings and established immortal villages. And they are more inclined to protect their own Chiyuan Taoist sect. As for those sects..."
Looking back on what they had seen along the way, the two women understood many things.
…
Yu Wen, Chun Qiu and the others followed the old man to the village chief's home and saw several village stewards there.
The old man was startled and questioned the monks.
"Where did you come from? We in Qinggu Village have no enmity with you, so why did you arrest us in the middle of the night?"
"You have no enmity against us, but you have occupied our family's territory. Your land in Qinggu Village belongs to our Baihe Sect."
The monk shook out a land deed.
"This is the document that transferred the land to our Baihe Sect when the Baoxiang Sect left."
People from the Baihe Sect!
Qiu Guiqiu's face darkened.
"Of course, you will live here for thousands of years. We will not drive you away. However, every year from now on, you must hand over a certain amount of spiritual valley to our Baihe Sect as land rent."
"Baihe Sect?"
"What title deed? We don't know at all!"
"Baoxiang Sect? Weren't they driven away by the Chiyuan Taoist Sect? This is the land of the Chiyuan Taoist Sect!"
"That's right, it's not your Baihe Sect's turn to speak here."
Various discussions arose.
But as the leading foundation-building monk narrowed his eyes, pressure silently spread in the room.
A group of old men were frightened by the pressure of Foundation Establishment, and none of them could speak.
Only the village chief struggled to support him and said with difficulty: "We don't know about the land deed. Why don't you and I go to the Chiyuan Taoist sect and ask the elders to come forward to arbitrate. If they recognize the land deed, we will Submission. If they don’t approve—”
"snort!"
The monk snorted coldly, and the village chief's throat soared, almost vomiting blood.
Suddenly, thick true energy and clear true energy surged from his internal organs at the same time, resolving the internal injuries.
He was confused and looked around.
Yuwen Chunqiu looked at Qiu Guiqiu, who took action at the same time as him, with some surprise in his eyes.
Qiu Guiqiu stared at several monks from the Baihe Sect and silently wrote down their images.
"There is no need to bother fellow Taoists of Chiyuan Taoist Sect. They are busy suppressing demons at the moment and cannot take care of other things. From now on, your village will be directly managed by our Baihe Sect. Our Baihe Sect is a sect affiliated with Chiyuan, and we also We are a family. You don’t have to be so resistant."
"I haven't heard that the Baihe Sect can woo the Immortality Village at will without going through our Chiyuan Taoist Sect. Aren't the eight Immortality Villages around your Baihe River Valley enough for you to support?"
Qiu Guiqiu appeared directly and threw a token over.
"When you arrived in the hinterland of Chiyuan, when did you dare to go around my house?"
A disciple of Chiyuan?
Wanshan Order?
When the monks saw Qiu Guiqiu and the token, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Fellow Taoist, I——"
The monk quickly opened his mouth to explain, but was shocked by a stronger pressure and suppressed all his words.
"I don't want to listen to nonsense, I just want to warn you: the Baihe River Valley has fallen, and you have fled to Chiyuan. We are willing to take you in, and will create a new place for you to practice. However, it is up to them whether Changsheng Village is willing to be protected by you. It is our Chiyuan Taoist sect who has the final say. Holding a land deed signed by a bereaved dog?
"Even if people from the Baoxiang Sect come back, they don't dare to say it in front of us. This land belongs to them!
"roll--"
The door of the room was blown open with a bang. The monks saw that the situation was not good and fled one after another.
Yuwen Chunqiu was silent and watched all this with cold eyes.
Like the two daughters of the Fu family, he had new ideas about the situation in Nanzhou.
Perhaps beneath the surface of the Chiyuan Taoist sect's pressure on You Dalu, there are also their unique internal conflicts.
During this great calamity, their conflicts in Southern Continent completely broke out due to the intensification of external forces.
After Qiu Guiqiu appeased the stewards of Changsheng Village, he left the token behind.
"If anyone else comes in the future, show your tokens. Tell them that the battle between immortals and demons is not over yet, and let them think carefully before the outcome is announced. If Chiyuan wins in the end, their actions will be Will they not be liquidated by us?
"Do they still recognize the prohibitions that our Chiyuan Taoist sect has placed at various mountain gates?
"Does the blood oath made back then still count?"
After leaving reassurance to the villagers, he and Yuwen Chunqiu returned and left.
On the way, Yuwen Chunqiu asked about the ban.
Qiu Guiqiu said with a smile: "It's nothing. I just sent the ancestors to the mountain gates and caves of each sect, family, and set up a mountain tablet to write down the prohibitions between my sect and mortals and the practice world."
As if he could tell that Yuwen Chunqiu was confused, he then recited:
"First, those who are cultivators of immortality - after their cultivation reaches the foundation level, they can no longer interfere in mundane affairs."
"Second, those who cultivate immortality live close to the mountains and cannot walk lightly in the world of mortals. Anyone who enters the mortal world must hold the 'Chiyue Talisman'."
"Third, those who cultivate immortality must not mine the spiritual minerals in the mountains on their own, and must not extract the spiritual energy of the earth veins at will."
"Fourth, practitioners should not use force to bully the weak. All retribution of grievances and grievances should be arbitrated in the 'Three Mountains Red Courtyard'."
…
The man recited the prohibitions of Chiyuan Taoism one by one.
Fu Tongjun said abruptly: "So what if it's violated?"
At some point, she and Fu Yaozhen also came out of the house.
Qiu Guiqiu said without hesitation: "If it is light, it will knock down one's cultivation and reduce one's moral conduct; if it is serious, it will overwhelm the five mountains and destroy one's soul."
Everyone from the east looked at each other.
It seems that we have found some reason for the poor reputation of the Chiyuan Taoist sect in the spiritual world.
Standing on the side of mortals and spirits, he is naturally respected and loved by many immortal villages. But at the same time, those long-standing sects and families that have been established for thousands of years will not be reconciled to what they have lost.
Hengshou leaned against the window and heard the noise outside, and silently passed the ban to Fu Henghua.
Then, he saw Fu Xuanxing sleeping, frowning from time to time, and silently asked Xiaoyu for a concentration incense burner to light in the room.
White smoke and birds, Fu Xuanxing gradually fell asleep.
Hengshou sat aside and silently studied the "Golden Spirit Escape Technique".
…
It's early in the morning, it's still dark.
Fu Xuanxing woke up refreshed.
Look at your arms.
I rarely had a peaceful sleep last night, and I didn't feel any pain in my arms.
Bang——
The door opened and Hengshou brought in the breakfast meal. Then he took back the ring from the extinguished incense burner on the table and returned it to the White Dragon Boat.
"Eat early, we're ready to go."
After delivering breakfast to Fu Xuanxing, Hengshou went to deliver breakfast to the two girls of the Fu family.
By chance, I bumped into Mr. Fu Tong hiding outside the house and peeked inside to see Fu Yaozhen communicating with Fu Henghua.
Hengshou looked puzzled, but when he saw Fu Tongjun making a gesture, he had no choice but to hand over the tray and stand outside with Fu Tongjun.
"Huh, sister has something to hide from me, and it's related to Fu Xuanxing. Don't stop me, I want to see who dares to do anything to Fu Xuanxing secretly."
…
"There are some things that I have never wanted to ask about. It's because my sister said that you have discretion. But now, Xuan Xing was almost poisoned to death. As the elder brother, I can no longer pretend to be ignorant."
"You want to ask, who sent those people who attacked Fu Xuanxing?"
"Poison Fu Xuanxing, not anyone else. It's nothing more than his specific origin. To put it bluntly, it has something to do with those annoying tricks in the sky."
A move from heaven? Eyes in the sky?
What are they talking about?
While Fu Tongjun was deep in thought, he silently grabbed the vegetable bun from Hengshou's tray and took a bite.
Pooh--
It’s actually fennel!
Without saying a word, she stuffed Hengshou's mouth with her backhand.
Hengshou ducked his head silently and pointed inside.
After thinking about it, Mr. Fu Tong casually threw the vegetable bag to his Gu insect.
Since she was a child, Fu Henghua and a group of elders have not allowed her to waste food. In addition to forcing Hengshou to eat for him, he can only look for opportunities to feed it to his younger brothers and sisters who have not grown up and are not sensible, so that they can share the burden for him.
but now--
This girl has a bug.
Several Gu insects flew over secretly and ate up the vegetable buns.
That was obviously prepared for the fourth girl.
Hengshou felt helpless and pointed to the food plate next to him.
This is yours.
When Fu Tongjun saw this, he picked up the vegetable buns in another plate.
The mushroom ones, I like them.
Slowly enjoying the vegetable buns made by Hengshou and the old man, Fu Tongjun eavesdropped on the conversation inside.
"When we went to Fu's house, someone attacked Fu Xuanxing when we were in the Tianyang waters. Later, at Fu's house, the old man also said openly or secretly that he had someone behind the scenes to set up Fu Xuanxing."
"That's not the same thing. The person who instigated the Master of the Fu family is the Tiannv Cult. The purpose is to guide Fu Xuanxing to kill Qinglong and gain fame for him in the Fu family."
"The Celestial Girl Sect - hum, we are on Leopard Tail Island, and the leader is also there. Was it arranged by the 'Heavenly One'? The White Dragon King?"
"right."
"Don't have any thoughts about Ao Dezheng. He is also a poor man. He took a magic weapon from that person and was forced to sign a blood contract and sold himself for life."
"Yunzhi's blood contract?"
"right."
Fu Tongjun and Hengshou heard Henghua's sneer.
"I don't even dare to sign a blood contract without knowing the content, but he really dares. After all, he is just a puppet, not worthy of my investigation. Then you must give me a safe explanation about Fu Xuanxing. I will let you do it in the future. With such care, will there be others chasing him?"
"I will find an opportunity to talk to the person behind the scenes to resolve her hatred for Fu Xuanxing."
"How sure are you?"
Fu Yaozhen shook his head silently: "Not sure."
"Then it's better for me to come forward. Sister, am I sure that that person is also in Nanzhou?"
"In order to observe the results, she must follow her in person - although I don't know how the other party traveled through the hurricane belt. But - you are not suitable to come forward."
"Saw it? Inferred?"
"That person's identity has something to do with you. It will be embarrassing for you to come forward. So don't come forward for the time being. I will try to find her and talk to her. I saw it. She and I will have a relationship in Tianyu Mountain. . She is also waiting for me, and then I will try to persuade her to give up."
"Sister, you only have this chance."
"I understand-"
Seeing that the two people inside were about to end their contact, Fu Tongjun asked Heng Shou to leave secretly.
"What do you think?"
Hengshou remained silent.
"Speak, I know you must have an idea."
"If the young master doesn't come forward, what do you and I have to worry about? The fourth girl has sense and won't make fun of Fu Xuanxing's life casually."
"But my sister said that she wasn't sure either - but apart from us, are there people from the East here? Didn't my sister say that her power can't see much of the future in Nanzhou?"
"The fourth girl has sense of propriety."
Hengshou once again reiterated its position.
Fu Tongjun rolled his eyes.
I'm a kid, this guy has this attitude.
"Forget it, I won't ask you anymore. I'll try to figure it out later -"
"The fourth girl is not even allowed to interfere with the young master, so naturally she won't let you interfere?"
Hengshou said slowly: "Instead of paying attention to this matter, it is better to take good care of Fu Xuanxing."
"It's rare to say something pleasant." Fu Tongjun lowered his head and thought for a while, then took away the tray with a smile and went into the room to share the spiritual meal with his sister.
After taking care of the people around him, Hengshou slowly returned to the house and started eating by himself.
…
After the meal, the six people set off quickly.
Chenshi rushed to Chiyuan Taoist sect.
The fairy light reflected half of the sky red, and the fire clouds held up an endless mountain range. Below the sea of clouds, there seemed to be a purple-black light shining.
"The mountain gate of your house is actually hanging in the air?"
In the distance, only a red beam of light can be seen. But looking closer, the beam of light actually shot out from a suspended mountain range.
"It's only in recent years that the Akagatake Mountains have been suspended."
Qiu Guiqiu looked complicated and led the five people over there.
When they arrived at the Yingxian Gate below Chiyue, the faces of the five people changed dramatically.
Qiu Guiqiu sighed softly: "Everyone, this is the ancestral palace of our Chiyuan Sect - Chiyue Immortal Palace."
The mountains are towering, the Immortal Palace is majestic, countless red lights spread in the sky, and the endless neon glow gathers into the barrier of the sea of clouds.
But all this——
It is not as conspicuous as the black hole under Chiyue Tiangong.
Pitch black, jet black, pure black...
It was absolutely black.
An abyss with no end in sight.
It is located directly below the mountain range and is constantly spewing out evil and evil energy.
Thousands of seal characters emerged from the sea of clouds where red light and neon clouds gathered, constantly flying toward the abyss below, suppressing the evil violence erupting in the abyss.
"I said before that the masters may not be free to help Daoist Fu detoxify. The reason is very simple. We need to prevent things underground from escaping."
"Underground? What's under your house?"
Qiu Guiqiu shook his head: "I don't know. But according to the ancestral teachings and sect rules, things underground can never break through the blockade of Chiyue Yunhai. This is the foundation of our Chiyuan Taoist sect's foothold in Nanzhou. In recent years, our sect has been dealing with the pressure of the demonic path. At the same time, more people must be left to prepare for underground crises and ensure that underground troubles will not spread to the entire continent."
Fu Yaozhen looked at Hengshou.
He had already used Fu Xuanxing's ring to transmit the scene in front of him back to Black Moon Reef.
Arriving at the Chiyue Mountains, they finally got a glimpse of the Chiyuan Taoist sect.
