Shaluo Kingdom, Guqiu Temple.
This place turned out to be a Buddhist temple, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery. More importantly, it was a paradise.
There are a total of nine top-notch cave heaven paradises in the Sharo Kingdom, but Fu Kong Temple and seven other Buddhist temples occupy eight.
This last place was heavily selected and designated as the first branch altar of the Huanzhou Gate in Xiniu Hezhou. After reporting to Ding Xinglan, Ding Xinglan ordered him to build the branch altar "Guqiu Temple" here.
Since the beginning of the world, the door to cultivation has not been Taoism or Buddhism, because only these two families have the founders of Taoism.
Therefore, although the Huanzhou Sect is a demon cultivator sect, all rituals and costumes are the same as those of the Taoist sect.
Thanks to the fact that Xitian Mansion had just carried out a "big cleanup" in the Shaluo Kingdom some time ago, when it was time to re-select this Cave Heaven Blessed Land, no one came to compete with him.
At this moment, Chongshou was sitting in the newly built but still empty hall of Guqiu Temple, and opposite him sat a beautiful female fairy like a flower.
"Fellow Taoist, are you really from Beiju Luzhou?" the female demon fairy looked at Chongshou and asked.
Zhongshou smiled slightly, then looked at the banshee and said, "What? Fellow Taoist Qingyu doesn't believe it?"
Yes, this banshee fairy was exactly the one that Tang Yu met in Youling Gorge that day. The banshee fairy "Qingyu Fairy" who was invited by the toad spirit as a guest.
Later, after finding out that she was not guilty of cannibalism, Tang Yu released her.
After Fairy Qingyu was released, she couldn't wait to leave the Shaluo Kingdom, but unfortunately, the border of the Shaluo Kingdom had been blocked and she couldn't get out.
She wanted to find those familiar immortal friends again, but after visiting all the familiar immortal friends caves in the entire Sha Luo Kingdom, she found that all of those immortal friends had been killed by Tang Yu.
In this way, Fairy Qingyu mourned those fairy friends with an extremely complex and heavy heart.
Finally, in a dazed mood, Fairy Qingyu began to wander around aimlessly, and by chance came to this paradise.
She fell in love with this place at just one glance, thinking that she could not leave the Shaluo Kingdom for a while, so she wanted to open a cave here.
But after careful investigation, she discovered that Chongshou had already arrived here, and then she realized that someone had taken the lead here, and even the main hall had been built, so the scene above happened.
"What? You don't believe it, fellow Taoist?" Zhongshou asked Fairy Qingyu.
Fairy Qingyu said quickly: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that Beiju Luzhou is a hundred thousand miles away, and the Shaluo Kingdom is still under the tight control and blockade of Xitian Mansion. I don't know how you got in? "
Chongshou couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he heard this, then looked at Fairy Qingyu and said, "Does Fellow Taoist Qingyu not know that Demon Courting has converted to Heavenly Court?"
Fairy Qingyu nodded and said: "I know that, but..." Fairy Qingyu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "We all think this is just superficial, isn't it actually the same as usual?"
What Fairy Qingyu said represents the views of all Xiniu Hezhou demon cultivators. They believe that the Demon Court has converted to the Heavenly Court, but only superficially listens to your Heavenly Court. The Demon Court still governs itself and forms its own faction.
Zhongshou was surprised and asked: "How many years has Brother Qingyu practiced in Hezhou, Xiniu?"
Fairy Qingyu replied: "Since I entered Taoism, I have been practicing in Hezhou, Xiniu."
Zhongshou asked again: "Is it possible that you have never left Xiniu Hezhou?"
Fairy Qingyu shook her head and said: "I have never left. It's not just me. Ninety percent of the demon cultivators in Xiniu Hezhou have never left Xiniu Hezhou in their lives."
Hearing this, Zhongshou couldn't help being shocked, but he soon understood, because he had never left Beiju Luzhou before. To be honest, in the entire Huanzhou Sect, only Ding Xinglan and Fairy Qianyin had left. I went to Buzhou to experience it.
Then he turned his head again and explained to Fairy Qingyu: "Fellow Taoist Qingyu, this time is different. This time the Demon Court has truly become a part of the Heavenly Court, obeying the laws of the heavens and obeying the destiny of heaven."
Fairy Qingyu couldn't help but take a breath when she heard this. At this moment, she felt cold all over her body and terrified in her heart.
how so? Because if what Chongshou said is true, then the entire demon tribe in Xiniu Hezhou has made wrong judgments, and under the guidance of this wrong judgment, wrong consequences will inevitably occur.
Or it can be said that the demon clan in Xiniu Hezhou is very likely to fall into a situation of being suppressed by the heaven and abandoned by the demon court.
"It turns out we were wrong..." Fairy Qingyu murmured, her eyes glazed over.
Zhongshou looked at Fairy Qingyu quietly and did not disturb her. After about thirty breaths, Fairy Qingyu came back to her senses.
Immediately, Fairy Qingyu asked Zhongshou: "So, is Taoist friend coming to Xiniu Hezhou here?"
"Oh." Zhongshou smiled and pointed to the main hall above his head, and said: "According to the decree of the headmaster, I came to Xiniu Hezhou to establish a branch altar."
Fairy Qingyu suddenly asked curiously: "Are you the Demon Sect?"
There are many demon cultivators who dominate the mountains and become kings, but there are really not many who establish sects, so Fairy Qingyu is very curious.
Zhongshou immediately said proudly: "Yes, our Huanzhou Sect is the only demon clan sect in Beiju Luzhou, and what our Huanzhou Sect inherits is the inheritance of Bai Ze Shen."
Fairy Qingyu's eyes widened instantly. The twelve demon gods, six auspiciousness and six evils were the destiny of the entire demon clan in this world.
Their significance to the demon clan can no longer be summed up simply by their Taoism and cultivation.
If you are a fierce demon, then your luck lies with the six evil gods. If you are an auspicious demon, then your luck lies with the six auspicious gods.
These are the Twelve Demon Gods, which are the ultimate destination of destiny for all demon cultivators in this world, and are also the place of faith.
That's why Fairy Qingyu was so shocked when Zhongshou said that the Huanzhou Sect was the inheritance of Bai Zeshen.
"Is this...is it true?" Fairy Qingyu looked at Chongshou with surprise in her eyes and asked.
Chongshou smiled faintly, and then started to perform Taoism. The next moment, a jade-white auspicious light suddenly rose from behind Chongshou, reaching a height of nine feet.
Fairy Qingyu stared blankly at this scene. The auspicious light rising from behind Zhongshou made her feel like a spring breeze, and she felt extremely comfortable and warm all over her body. She couldn't help but have the urge to worship.
This is the auspiciousness of Bai Ze Demon God! correct! Tears shed from Fairy Qingyu's eyes, and they were tears of excitement.
Ten breaths later, Zhongshou withdrew his Taoist magic, and the auspicious light dissipated instantly. Fairy Qingyu also reacted immediately. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then hesitated and said to Zhongshou: "Guizong. ..Are you still accepting people?”
Seeing the expectant expression on Fairy Qingyu's face, Zhongshou said with a smile: "I have come to Xiniu Hezhou to establish a branch, so naturally I want to recruit people."
"Then...do you think I can do it?" Fairy Qingyu asked Chongshou.
Zhongshou laughed loudly and said: "Fellow Taoist Qingyu was able to survive the Xitian Mansion's suppression and came to this ancient Qiu Temple during his leisurely travels. He must be destined to our Huanzhou Sect. If you are willing, Taoist friend, Pindao can accept fellow Taoists now."
"I do!" Upon hearing this, Fairy Qingyu hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Qingyu is willing to convert to the Huanzhou Sect."
Zhongshou also stood up and stepped forward, and said to Fairy Qingyu: "Okay, then fellow Taoist is now the registered disciple of our Huanzhou Sect's Guqiu Temple branch. When the sect general delivers the talismans and Taoist teachings in a few days, I will officially accept fellow Taoist disciples Huanzhou as my disciple."
Fairy Qingyu immediately bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Master." Even her name was changed.
Chongshou smiled and helped Fairy Qingyu up, then pointed behind her and said: "Fellow Taoist, please sit down."
Fairy Qingyu thanked her, then sat down. At this time, she looked at Zhongshou and asked: "Master, I wonder...what do you think of Xitian Mansion's actions this time?"
Zhongshou was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and said to Fairy Qingyu: "Are you talking about Xitian Mansion's suppression of the demon cultivators of Shaluo Kingdom?"
"Yes." Fairy Qingyu nodded and said, "All my friends were killed in this crackdown." When she said this, her face looked very sad and lost.
Zhongshou pondered for a moment, then looked at Fairy Qingyu and said: "The current Xitianfu Shangshu Hongqing is a person who can't get rid of the sand in his eyes, and he has an unusual adherence to the rules of heaven. As far as I know about him, His actions are never troubled by emotions and desires, and he is extremely decisive and ruthless. If I had come to Shaluo Kingdom a few months earlier, I would have advised fellow Taoists in Shaluo Kingdom not to disobey Xitian Mansion and disobey Master Hongqing. It is best to Only the law of heaven must be obeyed.”
Fairy Qingyu couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "Can't we avoid being purged by not disobeying Xitian Mansion and obeying the laws of heaven?"
Zhongshou nodded and said: "Based on my understanding of Master Hongqing, if you show your repentance early on and show your heart to abide by the laws of heaven, then there is a great chance that you will avoid being purged."
Fairy Qingyu couldn't help but fell into a deep silence after hearing this. From Fang Jian to Xitian Mansion, until the Guangfa Temple incident, and then to the Begonia Forest incident, it seemed that the entire Shaluo Kingdom demon cultivator was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight. , all uphold the mentality of not caring about themselves, and no one has ever thought of going to Xitian Mansion to express their loyalty...
Thinking of this, Fairy Qingyu raised her head again and asked Zhongshou: "The master of the temple... seems to be familiar with Master Hongqing?"
Zhongshou coughed when he heard the words, and then said calmly: "Well... I'm really not very familiar with Master Hongqing."
As soon as Zhongshou finished speaking, a majestic voice came from outside Guqiu Guanshan: "Excuse me, is fellow Daoist Zhongshou of Huanzhou Sect here? I am Chaizhou, the ultimatum envoy of Xitianfu. "
Upon hearing that it was someone from Xitian Mansion, Fairy Qingyu stood up nervously, her panic expression clearly visible on her face.
When Zhongshou saw this scene, he immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, don't be nervous, come with me to go out and have a look."
Seeing Chongshou's calm expression, Fairy Qingyu relaxed a lot from the tension and panic in her heart. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and then followed Chongshou out.
When the two of them reached the mountain gate, the messenger immediately lowered the cloud light and landed on the square in front of the mountain gate.
Only then did Zhongshou and Qingyu see clearly that there were no less than five hundred divine generals on the cloud light. At the same time, there were fifty to sixty thousand little demons among the five hundred divine generals.
"Zhuan Ultimatum Envoy, this is..." Zhongshou pointed at the 50,000 to 60,000 little demons and asked Zhuan Ultimatum Envoy.
The ultimatum messenger smiled and said: "Friend Zhongshou, these little demons were captured from Banjie Mountain. There are more than 60,000 of them. Lord Shangshu asked me to send them to you. Maybe you can use them."
Hearing this, Zhongshou immediately said with a smile on his face: "Master Hongqing really understands my heart. I am short of manpower now. These 60,000 little demons can solve my urgent need."
The messenger said: "In that case, I will leave these little monsters here. I have to rush back to Fanqing Peak to say goodbye."
"Transfer the ultimatum to go slowly." He bowed his head and saluted.
As the ultimatum messenger left with the general, he looked at the 50,000 to 60,000 little demons with bright smiles on their faces.
At this time, a faint voice sounded from beside him: "Master Guanzhao, didn't you say that you are not familiar with Master Hongqing?"
