Clear springs and flowing water, empty valleys and shadows.
After more than three hundred years of gathering earth energy, Miyun Mountain has become more and more majestic. The mountains are covered with green mountains and numerous wonders emerge.
Leaving the previous cloud platform, Lu Yuan took Yang Jihua to a quiet place in the mountain, where they enjoyed the beautiful scenery and talked about secrets.
The two walked in the mountains for a long time without saying anything.
Lu Yuan looked at the scenery happily. After he traveled to this world, his first identity was that of an Orion in the mountains. He was originally the son of Dashan.
However, the situation changed later and pushed me step by step to where I am now, and I am no longer the same person I used to be.
However, although people have changed, it does not affect him from looking back on the past. Occasionally, walking in the mountains, finding a stream, making tea on the bluestone, watching the scenery, and roasting one or two prey are also very memorable. Beautiful things.
In recent years, he has been in seclusion, and now, his cultivation is already at the late stage of human immortality.
It's just that it's still a little short of the peak of the Human Immortal and the level of the Earth Immortal.
According to the plan, after Che Shidao breaks through the Earth Immortal, the next one to attack the Earth Immortal will be Lu Yuan himself.
Now that everything is on the right track, his pressure has been reduced a lot, although he can relax a little more and look at the scenery.
And at this moment, he was the one who used the bait to catch the Evergreen Immortal Sect and Jiuzhou Immortal Sect.
The advantage lies with me and the initiative lies with me. Naturally, there is no need to speak first.
Next to him, Yang Jihua had no time to look at the beautiful scenery around him, he just lowered his head and meditated.
Looking at this look, he seems to be trying to say something.
Lu Yuan waited patiently.
After waiting for a while, the other party finally spoke: "Master Lu, I wonder...what do you think of the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect?"
Perhaps it is because of the fact that Taiping Dao has had an increasingly close relationship with the Kyushu Immortal Sect in recent years, or perhaps because it has only been two hundred years since peace, the trauma caused by the previous war was too painful.
Therefore, Yang Jihua was quite rare. He did not call the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect the Ninety Remnants, but gave it a more neutral title.
certainly.
Calling Jiuzhou Immortal Sect Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, in a sense, actually separates the other party from Jiuling Sect.
This is considered a kind of political correctness in Evergreen Immortal Sect.
"Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, my best friend from Taiping Dao..."
Lu Yuan answered immediately without hesitation, then looked at Yang Jihua's expression that changed slightly after hearing the answer, and quickly said with a smile: "Of course the Evergreen Immortal Sect is also a close friend of mine.
Both of your families helped us when our Taiping Dao was in crisis.
Especially Guizong, they support each other a lot.
Two hundred years ago, Fellow Daoist Yang even helped me to stay in Damu Country and protect my peace.
The friendship here has always been engraved in our hearts and we dare not forget it. "
Lu Yuan released his goodwill.
As expected, Yang Jihua's expression improved a lot when he mentioned these past events.
really.
In terms of closeness and distance, as well as the friendship between them, from a superficial point of view, it is true that Evergreen Immortal Sect and Taiping Dao are closer.
Not to mention Taiping Dao, when the Taoist tradition was first established, the other party provided help.
Let's just say that the previous cession of Leshan and Anyang was a huge gift.
With these benefits alone, the Evergreen Immortal Sect’s contribution to Taiping Dao is infinitely greater than that of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect.
From this point of view, the two families are indeed closer.
Yang Jihua also responded quickly: "Master Lu is right. Since Taiping Tao established its orthodoxy in Miyun Mountain, our two families have been communicating with each other and have frequent exchanges.
These are all origins.
Although our two families have become slightly estranged in recent years, our friendship is still there, which we cannot forget.
In my opinion, we should put aside our past grievances and work together to maintain the stability of the Evergreen Territory so that we can live up to our friendship. "
Lu Yuan nodded in agreement: "Fellow Daoist Yang is right. Since the establishment of our sect, our two sects have been friends for generations. This kind of friendship must be maintained."
When Yang Jihua heard this, he sighed: "What Headmaster Lu said is that your family and I really need to be close. It's just that your sect's behavior in recent years has made Pindao deeply worried.
The former headmaster of the noble sect, Taoist monk Yi, visited the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect every year. For more than two hundred years, he visited the western region hundreds of times.
But the number of times I came to Changqing Mountain was not more than the number of visits last year.
This kind of favoring one over another has to worry this sect.
Has your sect formed an alliance with the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect and conspired against our sect? "
Yang Jihua directly stated his dissatisfaction without being too tactful.
Taipingdao really went too far in its treatment of Changqing and Jiuzhou sects.
We are all neighbors, so why should we play with others and not play with me? Are we looking down on me?
"Fellow Taoist, you are worrying too much."
Lu Yuan was a little embarrassed. Previously, he only asked Yidancheng to make good friends with Kyushu and try to get closer to the other party.
Then this clone visited Kyushu every year. As a sect leader, he spent more time in the Western Region than in Taiping Dao.
This behavior is indeed outrageous.
It’s no wonder that the Evergreen Immortal Sect feels scrupulous and deeply worried.
Anyone else would have trouble sleeping and eating.
However, the effect of this behavior is also excellent.
Due to the closeness of Taiping Dao, Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, with the efforts of Yidan City, the favorable impression and impression of Taiping Dao increased rapidly like a flying sword.
Nowadays, some disciples of Taiping Dao who go out to travel to the west of the region have even become brothers with the disciples of Jiuzhou Immortal Sect because of the close relationship between the two sects.
This kind of relationship was previously unique among the various immortal sects in Kyushu.
Now Taipingdao has half-joined in, which shows the effectiveness of Yidan City's diplomatic work.
This is why Lu Yuan knew that doing so would have great disadvantages and could easily arouse the hostility of the Evergreen Immortal Sect. But he never shouted stop, which was the reason why Yidan City stopped.
It is because the Taiping Road is here, the gains are far more than the losses.
When weighing the two aspects, naturally choose the side with more benefits.
However, this behavior continues until now, and the relationship with Jiuzhou Immortal Sect has become extremely close.
Being able to call each other "senior brother" is the limit nowadays.
If the relationship between the two parties wants to achieve further breakthroughs, unless Lu Yuan reveals his origin and changes the Taiping Dao camp to Kyushu, then the two parties can be as close as one family.
Otherwise, the current situation would have come to an end.
Although Lu Yuan has made up his mind to join the Kyushu camp in the future to better occupy the Evergreen Territory.
But at this time, he was not ready yet, and he had no intention of joining the opponent immediately.
It's almost enough to maintain the current status.
If you go deeper, it will be too much.
So he changed his policy from the original extreme closeness to Kyushu to the moderate one, close to both sides.
The reasons for this turn are easy to find.
The previous generation's headmaster was close to Jiuzhou, and the current generation's headmaster was close to Evergreen Immortal Sect. There was someone close to both sides, so no one owed anything to the other.
Thanks to the hard work of the previous generation of masters, the current Taiping Dao disciples naturally have a better relationship with the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect.
Then as the current headmaster, Lu Yuan would be more inclined to the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
In this way, having him as the leader of this generation can give Evergreen Immortal Sect hope to see changes in the future. As long as he can win over himself, in hundreds or even thousands of years, the influence brought by Yidan City can be dispelled. The influence caused Taiping Dao to become biased towards the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
simply speaking.
Yidan City represents the past, and Lu Yuan represents the future.
Use the past to stabilize the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect, and use the future to seduce the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
This skill of balancing both sides can be said to be a good one.
It's true that after being an emperor for thousands of years, ordinary people still can't play this trick.
According to this idea, Lu Yuan naturally expressed his kindness as much as possible at this time and asked Yang Jihua to understand his thoughts towards Kyushu.
"Senior Brother Yi did go too far earlier. As a leader, he used his personal likes and dislikes to get close to Kyushu alone, causing worries to the neighbors. This is my Taiping Dao fault."
Lu Yuan first expressed his apology, and then changed the topic: "However, there are many discussions in our sect about this matter, with different opinions. So after the discussion, Senior Brother Yi decided to retreat into seclusion and stop interfering in government affairs. Giving up the position of head teacher to Pindao was to make up for these mistakes.
Pindao had never interacted with Kyushu before, nor had he interacted with the Evergreen Immortal Sect. He had nothing to do with either side, so he could naturally maintain stability and be impartial.
Fellow Taoists, there is no need to worry, my Taiping Dao is biased towards that side.
From now on, when Pindao is in charge, both sides will be treated equally, and no one will be more important than the other.
Fellow Taoists can rest assured about this.
Of course, Pindao and the sect have always kept their friendship with you, especially their previous help, in mind and have not forgotten it.
If fellow Taoists have any need in the future, please feel free to send a message to us at Taiping Dao. As long as we are able to do so, we will definitely help and we will not dare to shirk. "
Lu Yuan vaguely understood the reason for the change of position of Taiping Dao leader this time, which made Yang Jihua think about the internal discord.
At the same time, he nodded at the friendship between the two parties and expressed his preference in a subtle way.
The latter was naturally not a stupid person, and he immediately understood the meaning of the words.
Yang Jihua immediately said: "With Master Lu in charge of Taiping Dao, Pindao and our sect naturally believe that Taiping Dao can treat our two sects, Changqing and Jiuzhou, fairly in the future. The friendship between you and my two sects will also be able to reach a higher level in the future.
If fellow Taoist Lu is willing, I dare to invite fellow Taoist Lu and his disciples to come to our Changqing Mountain as guests.
It just so happens that the new headmaster of Taiping Dao has succeeded to the throne, so you and I should also visit each other.
When a fellow Taoist comes to our sect, the master teacher will definitely be delighted and will warmly entertain you and not let the fellow Taoist down. "
Xu Shi had witnessed the grand occasion of the previous two hundred years when Yidan City brought a large number of disciples to travel to the western region every year.
The Evergreen Immortal Sect couldn't help but feel a little moved at this time, and Yang Jihua made an invitation.
They had no hope for those who had been led astray by Yidan City before, but from now on, the disciples brought by this new headmaster must not be let go.
If you can't grasp the past, then grasp the future.
Our Evergreen Immortal Sect will never lose to anyone, let alone that mortal enemy.
"this……"
However, facing Yang Jihua's invitation, Lu Yuan showed embarrassment on his face and said with a slight hesitation: "Fellow Daoist Yang, let me explain first that it's not that I don't want to go to the Evergreen Immortal Sect. It's just that I have just ascended the throne and there are many things going on in the sect. It needs to be dealt with, and there is really no free time.
Moreover, many disciples under the sect also have important responsibilities.
In order to exchange for the opportunity to become immortals, they also travel around the world all year round, exploring the secrets, looking for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and presenting them to the sect.
Not afraid of fellow Taoist jokes.
Our Taiping Dao encountered a catastrophe before, and the sect was established after the destruction. All the previous foundations were completely consumed in the catastrophe.
To this day, those of us who were lucky enough to escape to the Evergreen Territory, except for this life, don’t even have half of the immortal energy in our hands.
For example, I, the headmaster, have nothing in my sleeves, and I can only fight with my bare hands when fighting with others.
Being so poor, I feel really scared and worried.
In order to revitalize the sect, I had no choice but to broadcast the news to the disciples and let them go out to hunt for treasures to enrich the sect's heritage.
It is also an opportunity to give disciples a channel for training and promotion, giving them a chance to become immortals.
It’s not that I don’t want to take my disciples to travel to Evergreen Mountain, but Evergreen Mountain is the property of your sect. Everything belongs to your sect, and outsiders like us don’t dare to covet it.
And when disciples travel abroad, they also need to gain something.
The path to immortality is long and life is short. They want to seize the chance of immortality within their limited lifespan. As a leader, how can I bear to delay? "
Lu Yuan had a grimace on his face and told Yang Jihua his grievances.
Just waiting to hear it, the new headmaster of Taiping Dao in front of me had only one meaning in his words.
That means you want to invite me over and give you some travel expenses in return.
If we don’t have money, we won’t care about going to Evergreen Mountain.
However, the pain and grievance Lu Yuan mentioned does make sense.
The disciples of Taiping Dao travel in search of treasures and make a fortune.
Your Evergreen Immortal Sect controls Evergreen Mountain, guarding every plant and tree on the mountain, and refuses to let outsiders take any of it.
Anyone who dares to pick off a leaf or a flower will be attacked directly by those Evergreen disciples.
Not only Evergreen Mountain, but also all the territory controlled by Evergreen Immortal Sect behaved in this domineering manner.
That's only the slightest benefit, and I won't give it to outsiders.
Whether it is the secret realm of the cave, treasures or elixirs, as long as they are produced in your own territory, they all belong to you.
If outsiders dare to take it, they are stealing their own treasure.
Under such circumstances, Taiping Dao disciples who want to make a fortune are naturally reluctant to go to the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
In recent years, why have more and more Taiping Dao disciples gone to other areas?
When traveling within the territory, they will only focus on the southern part of the territory. If things go badly, they will go to the Kyushu territory in the western part of the territory.
But no one went to the territory of Evergreen Immortal Sect.
Isn't the reason for this because the Evergreen Immortal Sect's solitary appearance is too annoying?
You don't share any benefits with me, so why should I flatter you?
If you want to make friends and respond to everyone, you need to spend money.
If you don’t spend money, Taiping’s disciples won’t give you free sex.
On the contrary, Kyushu, due to its severe decline in recent years and lack of strength, is in urgent need of external allies.
Therefore, for Taiping Dao disciples, they basically turn a blind eye to the behavior of searching for secrets in their own territory.
As long as it's not excessive, I won't care.
Those disciples can take whatever they have gained back home with them.
On the Taiping Road side, they also reciprocated.
When they find a secret cave, they often invite some Jiuzhou disciples to go hunting for treasures with them.
The proceeds from the treasure hunt will be shared equally among each other, so everyone has something to eat.
This is also how things are done in foreign lands.
So why do so many people come to support this celebration?
It’s because Taiping Dao knows how to be a good person. If he goes to other people’s territory and finds benefits, he will give a share to the owner.
You and I go back and forth with each other, and there is human communication, and the relationship will naturally develop.
It is not surprising that the disciples of Jiuzhou Immortal Sect and Taiping Dao can treat each other as brothers.
You make me rich, I give you benefits, and we call each other brothers, isn't it natural?
The only thing that is disgusting is the Evergreen Immortal Sect who only wants to eat alone.
When Lu Yuan said this at this time, he was also euphemistically expressing his dissatisfaction with the behavior of the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
When Yang Jihua heard this, he immediately blushed and said hesitantly: "Fellow Taoist is right. Life is short and the road to immortality is long. Disciples of your noble sect are eager to seek immortality, which a poor Taoist can understand. In this way, I will pass on this to the headmaster. Letter, please prepare some big gifts at the door to give to the juniors, as encouragement from the seniors.
It is not in vain for them to come to our Evergreen Immortal Sect.
From now on, if your disciples of your noble sect wish to travel within my territory, you can walk freely and explore all the secluded mansions.
I, the Evergreen Immortal Sect, will not take any of what I get from it, I will just let the juniors take it all. "
Yang Jihua also knew that his own performance was somewhat poor.
After all, the various treasures of the Netherworld distributed between heaven and earth are the inheritance left by the ancestors to future generations.
Upon closer inspection, the ownership rights do not belong to the Evergreen Immortal Sect at all, but only on their nominal territory.
According to the conventions of the fairy world, whoever finds an inherited treasure like this gets the final say.
At most, you can be kind and give some to the local owner after you find the treasure and pass it on.
This is what Taiping Dao does, so he is considered a kind person by various immortal sects and has a good impression in their hearts.
But the Evergreen Immortal Sect's approach of eating alone while others found the inherited treasures and kept them all without giving anything away was really annoying.
Even if Lu Yuan wanted to change the policy direction and make friends with the Evergreen Immortal Sect, he couldn't help but give his opinion first.
It’s just that the other party has done it.
But the Evergreen Immortal Sect also had something to say and had grievances in its heart.
As a large sect with tens of thousands of years of history, they certainly know that doing this will look ugly.
But in the previous battle, their losses were too heavy.
Not only did many people die, but even the sect’s treasures were almost completely lost.
During the decisive battle, Yao Baojuan had discovered almost all the secrets of the sect, distributed all the spiritual objects and magic weapons to the disciples, and then wasted them all in the war.
As a result, after the battle, the Evergreen Immortal Sect could not find a few immortal weapons.
Not to mention the immortal weapons, even the ordinary magic weapons used by his disciples are very few left.
Needless to say, there are various spiritual elixirs, spiritual materials, and materials needed for practice.
Although the Evergreen Immortal Sect has won such a large territory, it is only puffy and fat. It has become a pauper and can hardly lift the pot.
In this case, in order to fill the wallet, it is natural to look for money frantically.
This is why outsiders are not allowed to search for treasures in their own territory, and even if they are found, they must all be detained.
They are all poor.
