The Yellow Crane Tower has been broken, with the upper two-thirds missing, leaving only the lower two floors, which are actually just a pile of broken walls and ruins.
Chu Xiang pointed his sword together and slashed away with his sword, cutting off the messy broken walls. Song Xiaoting swept down the broken walls with a sweep of her palm, turning the roof of the building into a flat floor.
"The scenery up here is pretty good." Song Xiaoting said. The plains around the Yellow Crane Tower are wide open, and the Yangtze River rolls eastward, like a vast dragon reaching the sky. The white river surface is like an eternal picture.
"The country is so beautiful!" Chu Xiang couldn't help but sigh.
There is so much beauty in the country, how can we allow outsiders to get involved in it?
It was still early, so the two sat down in the south. Song Xiaoting took Chu Xiang's hand and said, "Who do you think Sun Ying will invite?"
"Wu Mingzi, Song Wang, Shi Xingkong, Li Xiaoshu, Wu Shuangjian, these people will definitely be invited, but I don't know whether they will come or not," Chu Xiang said.
"Isn't Shi Xingkong a monk?" Song Xiaoting asked.
"Buddhism and Taoism, on the surface, the two sects are on equal footing. In fact, Buddhism is far inferior to Taoism. Compared to the giants like Taoism, they are just ant-like existences like us." Chu Xiangdao.
Although Buddhism has great momentum, its foundation is too shallow. Compared with Taoism, which has thousands of years of foundation, it is just an ant that can be wiped out with a few hands. Taoism is for the strong to leave the world and be independent, while Buddhism is for the weak to stay together for warmth.
"Is the Dao Sect so powerful?" Song Xiaoting didn't quite understand.
"The Taoist sect has ten major caves and thirty-six small caves. There are countless secluded sects and countless masters. One Li Quezi can defeat all the powerful men. The Ji family and the subordinates of the First Emperor may not be able to compare to the profound knowledge." Compare." Chu Xiang said.
"Why didn't they take action in the Battle of Qishan and the Battle of Kunlun?"
"I don't know. The idea of a giant in Hedao is that the virtual world is full of ants, not to mention the flood under his feet." Chu Xiang shook his head.
"Indeed." Song Xiaoting nodded with deep approval. She wondered if the three ancestors of the fifth family gave her this feeling.
"Isn't Wumingzi from Kongtong? Kongtong is a famous Taoist mountain, so he should also be from the Taoist sect." Song Xiaoting said.
"I also don't understand. With Wu Mingzi's talent, he is like a treasure in any sect, but he doesn't have a Taoist sect under his command. Instead, he has to support the sect on his own." Chu Xiang also didn't know the nameless person. Due to the situation, Kongtong's position in the Taoist gate seems a bit strange.
"Who is that King of Song?"
"The King of Song should be a member of the Song family of Yanshi. He has a grudge against me." Chu Xiang said.
"Then when you meet each other, aren't you going to start a fight?" Song Xiaoting said.
"Believe he was smart enough to avoid it."
"Where are Li Xiaoshu and Wu Shuangjian? They don't have grudges against you, right?" Song Xiaoting frowned.
"I'm not sure about Li Xiaoshu's origins, but judging from his accent, he should be from that family, and I'm afraid he's also an enemy." Chu Xiang said.
"I think we'd better go." Song Xiaoting said worriedly.
"Don't worry, even if we have grudges, others can still make us fight." Chu Xiang said with a smile.
"It seems so." Song Xiaoting nodded.
It was still early, and just before anyone else came, Chu Xiang told Song Xiaoting about the young masters currently in the arena. It was almost noon for those who might be attending the meeting.
The first person to come was Sun Ying. As the initiator, of course he had to come early. He found that Chu Xiang was already waiting, and his majestic voice came from far away: "Brother Chu, see you soon."
"Long time see." Chu Xiang said, stood up and looked in the direction Sun Ying came from.
Not long after, a domineering figure arrived, Sun Ying cupped his hands and said: "Brother Chu's demeanor is becoming more and more admirable."
Chu Xiang cupped his hands and returned the greeting: "Brother Sun is still as domineering as ever."
"This must be my sister-in-law. A virtuous couple is really enviable." Sun Ying looked at Song Xiaoting and said.
"Mr. Sun, that's ridiculous." Song Xiaoting slightly bowed her hands in salute.
Sun Ying smiled, turned to Chu Xiang and said, "Brother Chu, do you know who will come today?"
"I was just going to ask Brother Sun," Chu Xiang said.
"Today's attendees include Wu Mingzi, Song Wang, Wu Shuangjian, Wang Laowu, Shi Xingkong, Lu Feng, Dong Changhua, Li Xiaoshu, Yan Zhongda, Yi Jingtian, and Chen Chong." Sun Ying said.
"Wang Laowu, Lu Feng and Yan Zhongda are all here." Chu Xiang was a little surprised.
"Brother Chu, shouldn't he pay more attention to King Song, Dong Changhua, Li Xiaoshu and Chen Chong?" Sun Ying said.
"You dare to invite them, what should I be afraid of?" Chu Xiang said with a smile.
Sun Ying also laughed. The two of them joined forces to kill members of several big families. These four people had enemies with the two of them. Sun Ying actually invited them, and they accepted the invitation. This was indeed beyond ordinary people's expectations.
"I don't know much about Wang Laowu. I'm afraid Lu Feng and Yan Zhongda came here with other purposes." Chu Xiang said.
"No matter what their purpose is, once they come here, they can't escape. It's not that easy to get off the pirate ship." Sun Ying said.
"That's true, but it's actually here. It's best to let them help." Chu Xiang said.
"There is no such thing as a pie in the sky. If you want to get something, you have to pay for it." Sun Ying said.
"Then it depends on Brother Sun's skills." Chu Xiang said with a smile.
"My biggest headache now is Wang Laowu. I don't know this person very well. He is the only one among all the people who does not belong to a sect. The others are more or less bound by sects. We need to consider the impact of the future situation. He I'm alone, I can't figure out why I'm here." Sun Ying said.
"You and I, plus fellow Taoist Wumingzi, have nothing to fear." Chu Xiang said. In fact, Chu Xiang knew the origin of Wang Laowu's inheritance. The Wudang Patriarch told him that the Menghuishenji Dafa came from Chen Tuan, and Wang Laowu must be a descendant of Chen Tuan's lineage.
Sun Ying understood the hidden meaning in Chu Xiang's words. If anyone had his intentions, the three of them would join forces to predict his death. Qianshuba
"Here we come." Sun Ying turned around and looked into the distance.
"Brother Sun, please." Chu Xiang extended his hand to the north.
"I'm so lucky to be friends with Brother Chu." Sun Ying sighed, walked to the north position, put his hands behind his hands and looked in the direction of the person coming.
The throne of the emperor sits north and faces south.
"Brother Sun has the wish of the common people, so he should do his best." Chu Xiang Zhengse said.
While the two were talking, several figures in the distance came straight towards the Yellow Crane Tower. As several people approached, another figure came on the waves in the distance.
The eleven figures were either fast or slow, some stepped on the waves without leaving a trace, and some rolled up water spray all over the sky. The figures were scattered among the figures, and in a short time they all arrived at the top of the Yellow Crane Tower. Although they looked different, they were all extraordinary. The eleven people Sun Ying mentioned.
"Everyone, please." Sun Ying, who was standing due north, held up his hands as a gift.
Everyone bowed their hands in salute and stood at the edge of the building. The thirteen people stood in an even circle.
"You may not know each other, let Sun introduce you." Sun Yingdao introduced from the left: "Wu Mingzi, Song Wang, Wu Shuangjian, Wang Laowu, Shi Xingkong, Chu Xiang, Song Xiaoting, Lu Feng, Dong Changhua, Li Xiaoshu, Yan Zhongda, Yi Jingtian, Chen Chong."
When Chu Xiang was called, everyone's eyes changed a little. Chu Xiang was a bit big-headed. There was no hostility in the eyes of King Song, Dong Changhua, Li Xiaoshu, and Chen Chong. However, it was still undecided whether they would launch an attack.
Everyone greeted each other, but no one wanted to attack Chu Xiang. After walking around, Sun Ying said: "Everyone, please take a seat."
Thirteen people sat down, and Sun Ying said: "Brother Chu contacted me for this meeting, intending to discuss the future situation together. However, with just him and me, we are weak, so I invite you all to attend the meeting."
"I am alone and weak. The world is so big that I dare not speak lightly." Unexpectedly, the first person to answer the question was Wang Laowu.
"There is a world only if there are people, and everyone belongs to the world. If you want to do good to the world, why don't you dare to say anything." Sun Ying said seriously.
"Although the world is huge, there are gods three feet above your head. How dare you speak nonsense?" Wang Laowu said.
Sun Ying frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Brother Wang, please clarify."
"Can't say." Wang Laowu said.
Unexpectedly, he encountered Wang Laowu's difficulty at the beginning. Sun Ying looked at Chu Xiang and asked what Chu Xiang meant with his eyes.
He knew in his heart that Wang Laowu's words were referring to people from outside the world. Qishan, Kunlun, and Gaoli were fighting one after another, but the people above him did not move. In addition, the people on guard in the fifth family were probably the gods above them. How can such a small gathering be in the eyes of the gods? Chu Xiang said: "The gods have their own divine system. Brother Wang, please be at ease. I once had the opportunity to see the arrangement of the ancestor Chen Tuan, and it was done exactly as you said."
Wang Lao Wu looked at Chu Xiang with some surprise. Chu Xiang nodded slightly. Wang Lao Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he nodded slightly.
Unexpectedly, Wang Laowu turned out to be a descendant of Chen Tuan. Sun Ying said: "Brother Chu, please tell me the purpose of this meeting."
"Everyone must understand the current situation. The demons from the West are about to enter the realm of Kyushu. Kunlun will be swept away in three years. There are also demons, witches and other tribes who are eyeing them. The only one who can compete is the Taoist sect. However, the Taoist sects have unpredictable ideas. , I don’t know what to plan, we are not the ones to rely on. If they are not from our species, their minds must be different. When the nest is overturned, there will be no intact eggs. Therefore, I would like to talk to you about the future situation, how to deal with threats from all sides, and protect your health. A place where we can settle down and live.”
After Chu Xiang finished speaking, the rooftop fell into silence. Major events in the world cannot be discussed by everyone. Besides, people's hearts are different, so how can it be so easy to be united.
Such a reaction had been expected, and they needed time to think. Chu Xiang didn't speak in a hurry, and Sun Ying didn't say anything.
"How can we control this world before we achieve harmony?" Li Xiaoshu said.
"It is precisely because of this that I invite you to come and discuss how to protect yourself within three years." Sun Ying said.
"Beyond the Hedao, realize the mind of heaven. All living beings are just ants, how can you protect yourself?" Listening to Shixing Kongdao's words, I am afraid that he has some understanding of the realm of Hedao.
"Human beings are human beings after all, even if they are in harmony with the Dao, they are not without their desires." Wu Mingzi said, it seems that he should have come into contact with the great power of the Dao.
"Fellow Taoist Wumingzi, please elaborate." Shi Xingkong turned to look at Wumingzi.
"Even if you are in harmony with the Tao, your lifespan is limited. You cannot destroy your body, and it will become ashes after five hundred years." Wu Mingzi said.
"If you don't escape life and death, you must have something to ask for, but what do you want?" Wu Shuangjian said.
"The Tao seeks immortality," Wu Mingzi said.
"In order to seek longevity, people who practice Taoism often choose to retreat to slow down the aging of the body and prolong their life. For example, those who have lost a child have been living for more than two thousand years. If they cannot break through and die, they will only live for a few years." Mr. Wang Wu Dao is actually very familiar with things in the Tao world.
"So Lie Quezi took the opportunity to take the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder?" Lu Feng said.
"Not bad." Wu Mingzi nodded.
"If Lie Quezi is in seclusion, he will definitely not know what's happening in the outside world." Shi Xingkong said.
"That's why he needs his disciples to tell him about the outside world in a timely manner." Wu Mingzi said.
"It is necessary for such a disciple to be a disciple." Shi Xingkong said.
"Human?" Lu Feng asked.
"The demons broke the seal and slaughtered the island nation. Now that they are entering China, they will also need eagles and dogs." Chen Chong said.
"The two clans of demons and witches are recruiting people with awakened bloodlines. They also need manpower to expand their territory." Wu Shuangjian said.
After talking about it up to this point, the conclusion is already obvious. Regardless of whether it is the demon gods, demon ancestors, Taoist giants, demons, witches and other major ethnic groups, they must have sufficient manpower in order to dominate the world and live in peace.
"What suggestions do you have?" Sun Ying looked around at everyone.
"Consolidate the foundation and cultivate the vitality." Yi Jing Tiandao remained silent.
"How to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the talent?" Sun Ying asked.
"Brother Chu has lectured on martial arts and Taoism for many times, and the world has been filled with peaches and plums. This is the way to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the talents." The Book of Changes.
