It was a fat Taoist priest in green, with his back to Mu Yao and his head looking up at the small plaque above the mountain gate.
On the plaque, there are three words written: "Shan Ji Guan".
"It's been a long time since I've been back."
Mu Yao heard the Taoist in Qingyi whisper, and then the Taoist in Qingyi turned around.
This is an old Taoist with a round face just like him. He has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a pleasant smile, which makes people feel happy at first sight.
The moment the old Taoist in Qingyi turned around, Mu Yao's body suddenly trembled, and then he immediately stepped forward, knelt down and made a big salute.
"Mu Yao, the twenty-second generation disciple of Shan Ji Guan, has met Master Liu Xia."
Yes, this old Taoist in Tsing Yi is none other than Master Chuxia, the 19th generation of Shanji Guan.
Although it was the first time for Mu Yao to see the real Liu Xia, the statue of this ancestor had always been standing in the Patriarch Pavilion, so Mu Yao recognized it at a glance.
"You are the eldest disciple of Zhixia, please get up first."
Master Liuxia's voice is hearty and resonant.
"When I went back to the temple last time, I heard Zhixia mention you, but you were not in the temple at the time, so I didn't see you."
Mu Yao stood up as he was told, and at this moment his heart was filled with emotion.
The patriarch in the temple finally arrived.
It's just that I came a step late. If I could have come two days earlier, maybe many things would be different.
For a moment, Mu Yao's eyes turned red.
Master Liuxia saw Mu Yao's strange behavior, and immediately raised his long snow-white eyebrows and said:
"Three days ago, I received a letter from Lu Zu from Feijian, saying that something happened in Jingcheng and asked me to deal with it, but it didn't say what happened."
"So what exactly happened here in Jingcheng?"
"Master...he is dead."
Mu Yao said sadly.
Master Liuxia's body trembled slightly.
"When did this happen?"
"Three days ago."
Master Liuxia stood silently for a long time, and then let out a faint sigh:
"We want to come back now, but it's not that convenient. After all, it's too late..."
…
In Daozang Pavilion, Master Liuxia walked out of the room where the Ice Soul Cold Light Needle was placed.
Outside the house, the remaining disciples of Shan Ji Guan all looked at Patriarch Liu Xia with expectant eyes.
Because Patriarch Liuxia achieved the realm of land gods through the method of Danding, maybe he can find some way to bring his master back to life.
However, Master Liuxia shook his head regretfully and said:
"Zhixia's vitality has been completely cut off. No elixir can revive him. At least the elixirs refined now no longer have that magical effect."
All the disciples looked extremely disappointed.
"Master, is there really no way to resurrect Master?"
Sixth disciple Sang Liren still asked again reluctantly.
"At least as far as I know, there is no other way."
Master Liuxia sighed and said:
"Otherwise, among the previous generations of practitioners of Shanxi Guan, how could it be that only me and Patriarch Mingxia are still alive?"
"Okay, Mu Yao, tell me what happened!"
So Mu Yao began to tell.
In fact, Mu Yao didn't know what happened in Jing City in the past few days, but later Shu Guan explained the reasons to him in detail, and Mu Yao finally understood what had happened in Jing City in the past two years.
However, he did not start talking about it from two years ago, but started talking about what happened in Tan Yankai's mansion on April 14th.
"...That night, we discovered that the master had gone crazy. Oh, no, according to the seventh junior brother, the master was possessed by a very strange and strange creature."
"... At that time, the disciple saw Master Sanmu and Master Su Jie, each holding the treasures of Guiyuan Temple and Yuelan Academy, surrounding the master. The master seemed to be seriously injured... At this moment, fortunately, The seventh junior brother arrived and rescued the master from the siege..."
"etc!"
When Mu Yao was telling this, Master Liuxia suddenly raised his voice and interrupted Mu Yao's words.
Then he asked Mu Yao a question with a strange and slightly doubtful expression.
"Who is the seventh junior brother you just mentioned?"
Master Liuxia's eyes swept over the disciples of Shan Si Kuan standing in front of him, and he was very sure that there were only five of them here.
As for the senior brother, he knew about leaving Shan Si Kuan because the senior brother had come to look for them some time ago.
Master Liuxia is still frightened by what happened that time when his senior brother came.
Besides his senior brother, there were currently five disciples of Li Zhixia standing in front of him, and he could tell who they were.
So who is that "Seventh Junior Brother"?
The most important thing is, how can a second-generation disciple of this generation rescue Li Zhixia from two strong men at the peak of the Fetal Movement Realm?
Moreover, the two powerful men at the peak of Fetal Movement Realm also brought the treasures of Guiyuan Temple and Yuelan Academy.
Liuxia Zhenren, who has been the master of Shanjingguan for many years, still knows very well what kind of magical power and power the magic weapons in each temple and academy have.
Especially that Haoran Sword, under the Nascent Soul, it is almost invincible.
So when he heard this, Master Liuxia knew that what happened in Jingcheng would definitely not be that simple, but he still couldn't help but interrupted Mu Yao's story.
But Mu Yao also had doubts in his eyes.
Patriarch Liuxia doesn’t know who the seventh junior brother is?
How can this be!
This is because every official disciple of Shanji Kuan who enters the temple must go through the ceremony of choosing a robe, and during the ceremony of choosing a robe, he will read the wordless heavenly book.
In the Wordless Heavenly Book, there is a trace of Lu Zu’s soul, so every disciple who enters the temple has been screened by Lu Zu, and once you take off the Taoist robe that belongs to you in the Zushi Pavilion, you will be in their Taoist sect. In the mysterious and unknown place of the ancestral court, the name of this new disciple will also be recorded in the Taoist sect's genealogy.
So how could Patriarch Liuxia not know who the seventh junior brother was?
Not to mention the status of seventh junior brother and Lu Zu's chosen successor.
Therefore, Mu Yao was extremely surprised by the question of Master Liuxia.
"The seventh junior brother's name is Shu Guan. He is the disciple that the master accepted two years ago..."
While feeling surprised and puzzled, Mu Yao still talked about Shu Guan.
He talked about his experience in Taoyuan Valley two years ago, and how he discovered the underground palace of Master Qixia's uncle.
When he talked about the underground palace of Master Qixia, Master Liuxia once again interrupted Mu Yao's words, looked at Mu Yao with an even stranger expression than before, and asked in disbelief.
"You said that Uncle Qixia has been hiding in Shennongjia since he rebelled five hundred years ago. Are you sure you didn't get the wrong person?"
Mu Yao was startled by Master Liu Xia's expression and said quickly:
"The master was very sure at first, because there was the remains of Grandmaster Qixia in the underground palace. According to the master, it was no different from the portrait of Grandmaster Qixia left in the temple. In addition, we also found the remains of Grandmaster Qixia in the underground palace. Take away the Qingxin Bell."
The expression in Master Liuxia's eyes changed rapidly.
"According to what we know, Qixia should have been dead a long time ago, so we never looked for him again... What on earth is going on..."
Master Liuxia murmured in a low voice.
Then the kind-faced and kind-hearted Ancestor, the whole person's temperament became extremely serious, nodded towards Mu Yao and said:
"Go on. Talk about that Shuguan."
Although Mu Yao, who was a little distracted because of what Master Liu Xia just said, began to continue talking.
He talked about the "black" that later emerged from the underground palace, how they left the valley at that time, and how after returning to the monastery, the seventh junior brother chose a gray robe during the robe selection ceremony, and how he stayed in monastery for a night After successfully entraining the Qi, he also said that no matter what Taoist technique Shu Guan practices, its power is always astonishing.
"...Seventh Junior Brother's talent is truly unique. No wonder he became Lu Zu's chosen successor..."
"etc!"
Master Liuxia called Mu Yao to stop again.
"Who told you that he was Lu Zu's chosen successor?"
Master Liuxia stared at Mu Yao seriously and asked.
"...Seventh Junior Brother chose a gray Taoist robe, followed the Yin-Yang Avenue, and his cultivation talent is different from ordinary people, so we have always guessed this..."
Mu Yao replied somewhat at a loss.
Master Liuxia said extremely seriously:
"I don't know who your seventh junior brother is, but I can tell you clearly that Shu Guan is definitely not Lu Zu's chosen successor!"
"In the past few years, Lu Zu has indeed chosen several successors, but there is definitely no one like Shu Guan among them."
Master Liu Xia's words made the disciples of Shan Si Guan look at each other, feeling a little strange and inexplicable in their hearts for a moment.
Junior Brother Shu has nothing to do with Lu Zu?
Then how could he be so powerful?
"Okay, go ahead and tell us what happened in Jingcheng!"
Master Liuxia waved his hand and said.
So Mu Yao calmed down and began to continue talking.
And then, Master Liuxia never interrupted Mu Yao's narration, including when he told Shuguan Guishan that he killed a Nascent Soul Realm master, Master Liuxia only had a flash of light in his eyes, showing a deep thought. Sexy, but did not speak.
During this period, Mu Yao talked about the Black Dragon Society's conspiracy and the attempt to blow up the Turtle and Snake Mountains. Master Liu Xia's expression turned solemn, but there seemed to be no surprise.
Until Mu Yao came to the end, he talked about Shu Guan striking the river with his sword, splitting the water, sinking three warships, and completely destroying the body of a powerful practitioner who was suspected to be at the peak of Nascent Soul.
At this time, Master Liuxia finally turned pale again and exclaimed.
"What!"
It seemed that Shu Guan's existence concerned him more than the incident that happened in Jingcheng.
Mu Yao finally finished speaking, and Master Liuxia stood there in silence for a long time with a solemn expression, as if he was thinking about an extremely complex and important issue.
"You just said that Shu Guan told you that he wanted to leave the Seven Immortals Alliance?"
After a long time, Master Liuxia asked Mu Yao this question.
Mu Yao nodded somewhat uneasily.
"Do you know where he's going?"
"Junior Brother Shu didn't say anything. He only said that he was going to find the princess of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun to avenge his master!"
So Master Liuxia frowned and fell silent again.
Mu Yao finally couldn't bear it any longer and cautiously asked Master Liu Xia:
"Grandmaster Liuxia...Junior Brother Shu, isn't there something wrong?"
"Of course there is something wrong with this view!"
Master Liuxia said decisively:
"There is such a new disciple in Shanji Guan, but we old guys, even Lu Zu, don't know about it. Do you think there is anything wrong with him?"
"Not to mention his unpredictable strength, which cannot be obtained through normal cultivation methods."
"I will report this matter to Lu Zu immediately after I return!"
"Master, Junior Brother Shu has not done anything bad in the past two years of Shan Jing Kuan. In fact, he has saved the master and us several times, and he chose to leave this time in order to give to Shan Jing Kuan. It’s just revenge, master.”
Mu Yao spoke frankly to Master Liu Xia without any hesitation.
Master Liuxia took a deep look at Mu Yao, and then suddenly laughed.
"Zhixia chose you to be the 22nd generation master of Shan Si Guan. He chose you very well!"
Master Liuxia said this.
"Don't worry too much. We want to find that Shu Guan. It doesn't mean we want to do anything to him. It's just that we have to find out some of his secrets."
"Okay, you all come out with me. I have something else to tell you."
While speaking, Master Liuxia stepped out of Daozang Pavilion.
Mu Yao and others followed out one after another.
Master Liuxia walked to the edge of the cliff, put his hands behind his back, looked at the Ancestral Pavilion behind the cliff, pondered for a moment, and said slowly to the disciples behind him:
"The changes in Jingcheng this time were indeed a bit unexpected, but now that we think about it, we already had clues."
"Because just a few days ago, those false gods from the Western Continent, plus an imperial god from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, suddenly appeared in the ancestral grounds of the sects of our Western Immortal Alliance, saying that they wanted to fight with our Seven Immortals Alliance. Several immortals discuss Taoism."
"It seems that they have premeditated it, and the false gods in the Western Continent are also preparing to support the Kingdom of the Rising Sun and replace Dahua's position in the Eastern Continent."
"Although limited by heaven's rules, we, the Seven Immortals Alliance, cannot interfere in the war between mortals, but in the next two continents, there will probably be constant disputes between the cultivation communities."
Following the words of Master Liuxia, the expressions of the disciples in the audience gradually became solemn.
They all already know that the Kingdom of the Rising Sun declared war on Japan yesterday afternoon.
Although they are outsiders.
But if a war breaks out across Dahua, can they really stay out of it?
I am afraid that a war is about to break out among the cultivation circles.
Master Liuxia turned around and scanned the faces of the disciples in the audience one by one.
"But this is just the beginning!"
The bodies of all the disciples were shocked again.
Is the war between the two continental cultivation communities just the beginning?
What exactly does Patriarch Liuxia mean by these words?
"Since more than ten years ago, we, the seven immortals of the Seven Immortals Alliance, have noticed that after the fall of Heaven and the four thousand years of peace, the world is about to undergo a big change, which may even be more serious than the fall of Heaven. great changes."
There were looks of horror on the faces of all the disciples.
A change more serious than the destruction of heaven?
what does that mean?
"This means we may be entering a new Yuanhui era!"
"Now that a war is about to break out between the mortal world and the spiritual world, it shows that the original perception of the seven immortals was not wrong. This may be the prelude to a new Yuanhui era."
"For this reason, several great immortals took precautions ten years ago and jointly implemented a 'immortal seed' plan."
"The so-called 'immortal seed' plan is to select the most talented disciples from the Seven Immortals Alliance. The seven immortals will jointly train them and teach them various secret techniques to quickly increase their strength in a short period of time to cope with the great changes in the world in the future."
"And the group of disciples of the Seven Immortals Alliance who participated in the 'Immortal Seed' plan ten years ago have now begun to bear fruit. The most powerful one is already at the peak of land immortality, and is about to become a real immortal. .”
"There has been no new immortal in this world for more than a thousand years! That disciple may become the first one in a thousand years."
"So when the new Yuanhui era comes and the world changes, it is a disaster. For us practitioners, it is neither an opportunity nor an opportunity."
The disciples of Shan Ji Guan felt their hearts surging when they heard this.
The new Yuanhui era!
Immortal seed plan!
They had no knowledge of these things before.
"In addition to our Seven Immortals Alliance's 'immortal seed' plan, other forces in the spiritual world, such as the false gods in the Western Continent, also have similar plans, and their results are no better than ours. A member of the Seven Immortals Alliance."
"The era when the Hui Yuan intersects is bound to be an era when geniuses emerge. Everyone competes with each other according to their own means, hoping to become the winner in the new Yuan Hui era."
"That Shu Guan is probably a strange person who appeared during the alternation of luck!"
Master Liuxia said this with a sigh, and then his eyes fell on the person standing on the far right of the disciples.
"Sang Liren, you can follow me back to the Taoist ancestral court later."
"ah!"
The extremely handsome young man with red lips and white teeth responded blankly.
Master Liuxia looked at him with a smile.
"The selection of a new batch of 'immortal species' has begun, and you are the disciple personally named by Lu Zu to participate in the selection."
"In addition, Lu Zu also said that you are the disciple of the Thirty-six Taoists with a temperament most similar to his when he was young. Lu Zu is ready to make you his direct disciple!"
Sang Liren said dumbly "Ah" again.
When Master Liu Xia spoke just now, the only one who didn't listen carefully the whole time, who was just recalling the pictures in today's magazine, was the sixth disciple of Shan Si Guan. He was very confused at this time.
Isn't it Lao Qi who was the successor chosen by Lu Zu? How did he become himself?
The second volume is over and the third volume is on its way. I hope it can be uploaded tomorrow!
