"The giant wild beast appeared. Brother Xue was afraid that the tide of beasts would be unstoppable, so he reported the matter to the Immortal Sect." Jiang Wei said worriedly, "As a result, Master and Master Yuantong from the Xuankong Temple came here to discuss the Tao with the dragon turtle. . Unexpectedly, that dragon turtle was an unreasonable master. He couldn't defeat Master and Master Yuantong at the first sight, and actually swallowed them up in one gulp."
"Ah?" Bai Ze was a little confused when he heard this, "What are you talking about, the head master was swallowed by the dragon turtle?!"
"What?!" Kongkong jumped up from the water and fire stick and said in horror, "My master was eaten by a wild beast!?"
"I think there is no need to worry." Jiang Wei said, "Master and Master Yuantong are both people who stand at the pinnacle of the righteous path in the north. Although the wild beasts are terrifying, they should not have any problems."
"No, I have to go find my senior brother!" Kong Kong left in a hurry.
Jiang Wei and the three of them all looked strange.
Bai Ze had an intuition that something was going on and was confused.
"Little master, your senior brother Kong Chan asked us to go back to Xuankong Temple when we see you before he leaves." Su Wen said with hesitation, "As for your senior brother, he may have returned to Xuankong Temple now."
"Brothers, let's go ahead for Kong Kong, and we'll see you later!" Kong Kong was in a hurry to find Kong Chan, and didn't notice that the expressions of a few people were wrong, and the royal weapon went straight out of the mountain.
Bai Ze watched Kong Kong go away, and then asked them: "What's going on?"
"Alas." Wang Han sighed and looked at Bai Ze, "In the past few days when you were missing, there was a big mess in the north."
"Is there anything worse than being eaten by Master Shishu and Master Yuantong, and the Qilian Mountain beast tide sweeping across Cangzhou County?" Bai Ze frowned.
"Xuankong Temple was almost wiped out on the night when the wild beast appeared." Jiang Wei said, "I heard that the ancient ferocious beast Taotie suppressed under the Three Body Buddha Hall was also released from its seal. .”
Bai Ze was stunned when he heard this.
"This is indeed sensational." Bai Ze said after a while.
…
At the beginning of the year, the four sects of the righteous path, headed by the Yunhai Xianmen, united with the Qingming Sword Sect, the Fire God Mountain, and the Xuankong Temple to encircle and suppress the five demon sects in the Western Region. It can be said that they achieved a complete victory.
However, the wild beast suddenly awakened in the Qilian Mountains, and it could be said that it swept away the achievements of the four sects of the Righteous Path in an instant.
Not only were the disciples of the four sects who entered the mountain suffered heavy casualties, but among the four sects, the Xuankong Temple was almost wiped out overnight, Guangcheng Mountain became a purgatory on earth, and the ancient ferocious beast Taotie, which had been suppressed by the Three Body Buddhist Temple for two hundred years, escaped.
The Western Territory exploded instantly.
Cangzhou County was swept by the Qilian Mountain Beast Tide. Almost half of the town's lanes were deserted. The casualties were so heavy that the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty was furious.
The wave of public opinion started at the beginning of the year when the major mountain gates in the north were proud of the Four Gates, and suddenly turned into verbal and written criticism of the Four Gates' decision-making.
Especially Yunhai Xianmen and Xuankong Temple.
The leaders and abbots of the two mountain gates were devoured by wild beasts, and their lives and deaths were unknown. The situation in the northern realm also became delicate.
Some people secretly hope that Chunyangzi and Master Yuantong will never come back. As a result, the forces of the Northern Mountain Sect will be reshuffled, and the Qingming Sword Sect is likely to rise to power and become the new leader of the Northern Dao Sect.
As for the life and death of Master Yuantong, it is no longer important.
Because he is alive or has passed away, Xuankong Temple will be removed from the Northern Mountain Gate giants.
Everyone in the Taoist sect, except those from the Yunhai Xianmen sect, were secretly happy.
On the contrary, the Confucian people were worried about this shocking turn of events.
Qi Guojixia Academy learned of the news immediately and sent a message from thousands of miles away to directly summon Mr. Yuan Tiangang back to the mountain.
"The life and death of Chunyangzi of the Yunhai Immortal Sect is unknown. Return to the academy as soon as possible. Things are going to change in the north." Yan Zhitui said in Jixia Academy's offering ceremony.
Sacrificial wine is the name given to the head of Jixia Academy, and his status is the same as that of the head of the Taoist sect.
When Yuan Tiangang received the news, he immediately felt that the situation was not good.
The life and death of the three giants of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the northern border, and the Taoist Optimus Prime and Yunhai Xianmen leader Chunyangzi are unknown, is simply a bolt from the blue.
Who is Chunyangzi?
To say that he is the number one person in the North, even if Jijiu is dissatisfied, he would not dare to openly challenge Chunyangzi.
After all, Yan Zhitui was no match for Chunyangzi in terms of moral integrity and qualifications. Although Yan Zhitui may not be Chunyangzi's opponent if they really fight in a Tao discussion conference, but to say that he can win is just a child's trumpeting, which is unreasonable.
Mr. Yuan worked non-stop. When he received the news that day, he immediately left Suiyang City and went straight to Jixia Academy.
As soon as Mr. Yuan left, the happiest person was Rujian.
After all, the current king of Song Dynasty, Junzi Qi, made it clear that he would not confront Yuan Tiangang head-on, and dumped the mess directly on Song Zhiwen.
Who is Yuan Tiangang?
The first of the seven sages of Jixia Academy!
Song Zhiwen knew in his heart that at best he could be regarded as a well-known figure in the Song Kingdom. The temples and the world respected him and gave him the title of Confucian Sword.
But after all, the Song Dynasty was still a country that advocated Confucianism. Mr. Yuan Tiangang is a Confucian master. Confronting Mr. Yuan, regardless of whether he is justified or not, in terms of seniority, he is a person who should be called "Sir" when asked by Song Zhi. If he angers Mr. Yuan, he will be in trouble with the Confucian sect in the north.
Yuan Tiangang is a monument of Confucianism.
When Song Zhiwen took over this matter, no matter whether he handled it well or not, in the end he would end up with a reputation of being an inhumane person.
Don't look at the fact that in the Song Dynasty, everyone in the country has a desire for revenge. But this was before the war started, and everyone was saying hello, me, and everyone. And once a war breaks out, Jixia Academy will definitely be involved.
Song Zhiwen knew that once Jixia Academy participated in the war, the Song Kingdom might not be able to win the revenge battle beautifully.
By then, with interests competing for power, the public opinion in the Song Dynasty is likely to be one-sided. Not only him, but also Junzi Qi will be held back by Jixia Academy. As long as the Confucian scholars in Jixia Academy are determined to punish the King of Song, he may not be able to escape unscathed even as the leader of a country.
So up to now, the Song Dynasty is only on the border with Chen Bing, and the sword is pointed at the Zheng Kingdom. Although the two countries were at war with each other and the situation was tense, Junzi Qi still did not order a revenge war.
It can be said that if you are not careful in this doorway, you will be in danger of being shattered into pieces.
That's how people are.
The higher you stand, the harder you fall.
Now that Yuan Tiangang left, Song Zhiwen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But before Song Zhiwen could finish taking a breath, Mr. Yuan had just walked out of the front door of the Song Mansion, and he was greeted by the palace envoy.
The King of Song summoned Confucian Sword to the palace.
…
No one expected that the world would be in chaos before the temple plan could come to an end. The Four Gates of the Righteous Path in the North destroyed the Demon Sect's mountain gate, but ended up shooting themselves in the foot, and were beaten down by the wild beasts of the Qilian Mountains.
Xuankong Temple was almost wiped out, Xu Peng, the little fire god of Vulcan Mountain, died, Qingming Sword Sect and Yunhai Xianmen also suffered heavy casualties.
Especially for the Yunhai Immortal Sect, the headmaster Chun Yangzi was swallowed alive by a dragon turtle. He was not sure whether he was alive or dead. The huge Immortal Sect almost took off from the spot.
After all, Mingyangzi from Juesui Peak received the news and immediately summoned the masters of the Sixth Peak for a meeting. The master of the Five Peaks recommended Mingyangzi as the acting head of the Yunhai Immortal Sect, leaving three people behind. The remaining two rushed there without stopping. Qilian Mountain went to look for traces of Chunyangzi.
The situation is strange.
This was how Bai Ze felt when he returned to Yunhai Xianmen in Fangtian Painting Boat.
He knew clearly in his heart that behind this shocking turn of events, there was probably one, or even multiple, huge pushers operating all of this in the dark.
But after all, his cultivation level is only in the lower three realms. Nowadays, this kind of grand scene of gods fighting, and plans that often use the fate of a sect or a country as pawns are definitely not something he can interfere with at this moment.
Bai Ze sighed inwardly.
The same was true for Xie Xuan when he was at Hulao Pass.
His departure is definitely a big deal. But as the only descendant of Xie Xuan, Bai Ze was not even qualified to know what his master was going to do.
"Senior Brother Xue." Bai Ze recalled the scene of meeting Xue Xing in Xanthium Town. He deliberately pushed aside the others and told Xue Xing about Cao Zhen, "That person is a fellow cultivator of the True Demon."
"Are you serious?" Xue Xing stared at Bai Ze's eyes and spoke in a low tone after hearing this.
"There is absolutely no lie." Bai Ze said, "If senior brother doesn't believe it, you can wait until Senior Sister Tang wakes up and ask her. She also saw the scene at that time with her own eyes."
"Fellow True Demon, I have lived for thirty years, and I have never seen or heard of anyone who can do this." Xue Xing asked Bai Ze in detail about the situation at that time, and Bai Ze told him one by one, After that, the master of the sword-wielding hall remained silent for a long time.
"You go back to the Immortal Sect first. Don't mention this matter to anyone except me." Xue Xing said, "Don't even mention it to the Grandmaster. This matter is of great importance. Since you and Junior Sister Tang know about it, I'm afraid there will be more trouble in the future. There's trouble. You two go back to the Immortal Sect first, and don't go out during this period."
"Okay." Bai Ze nodded and said.
