Yange's mother's clan can only be considered a middle-low class among the tens of thousands of demon clans in Congzhou. According to her, relying on the most powerful clan elder in the clan, he entered the Returned Kingdom a few years ago. After the merger, they just occupied a mountain range in the vast area of Congzhou and became the king.
Compared with the big clans in Congzhou that have the True Infant Demon King and even have externalized venerables, there is a big gap. Even in the larger tribes, there are often several strong ones in the integration stage. The round-spotted cheetah tribe has only begun to expand its power in recent years, but it has only scratched the surface of the middle level.
There are three great True Infant Masters in Dongming Pass, among which the most powerful Master Donglin is in the late stage of True Infant and is very famous.
After Zhao Chun first found Yan Ge's mother and explained her situation, she frowned and refused to allow Yan Ge to return to Minglu. Later, Zhao Chun explained that Yan Ge had been included in the army's brocade list, and if she hadn't been her own If you wish, you cannot leave the military, let alone leave the garrison pass to go to Congzhou. If you violate it, you will be regarded as a deserter and severely punished according to military law.
After understanding the situation, she simply said: "If you insist on doing this, I will have no choice but to report to General Donglin and ask him to issue military orders."
The mother of Yan Ge's expression suddenly changed, she bit her fangs and nodded reluctantly.
Zhao Shun sent Yan Ge to the battlefield, feeling relieved and secretly thinking that this matter finally had a somewhat satisfactory ending.
She exhaled and planned to go to the General's Mansion again to tell Master Donglin that the matter was over and she could return to the sect.
As soon as Master Donglin saw her coming, he knew what was going on. He immediately stood up with a smile and wanted to send her back to Zhaoyan himself.
"The general is stationed in Dongming. How can he leave so easily? It's better for me, this junior, to go back on his own!"
Zhao Shun politely refused, but he saw him flicking his sleeves and smiling, pointing his fingertips in the air: "A monk in the return period can shrink to an inch, and he can reach a hundred miles away in a moment, let alone achieve a true baby. I will send you there myself. Zhaoyan will not be delayed for long when he returns to Dongming."
His fingertips seemed to be pulling this space, condensing into a point on the fingertips, which was very mysterious.
Seeing this, Zhao Chun could no longer refuse, so he bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, general, for your help."
"Come!" Master Donglin placed his big palm lightly on Zhao Shun's shoulder, and reached forward with his other hand. Zhao Shun's eyes suddenly became chaotic, making it difficult to see, and his whole body seemed to be frozen under heavy seas, being squeezed by the endless sea water. , cannot move at all.
I don’t know how time flows. Hundreds of years have passed, or is it just one breath?
The water receded like a wave, and she broke out of it to move freely, taking a deep breath.
"We're here." Master Donglin stood beside her and pointed forward.
The spiritual energy in this place is so abundant that it almost condenses into rain and mist and melts into the air. It is undoubtedly the small world of Zhaoyan. Zhao Shun looked along the place he pointed to, and saw a vast endless lake. The golden sun shone down, and the lake surface was sparkling. Although there were green fields interspersed in it, it also created a scene of water and sky.
Looking across the lake and green fields, there are stacks of pavilions hanging above Xingzi Lake, with carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, elegant and refined. Water pours from the pavilions like waterfalls, and pours into the lake, stirring up thousands of waves, surging like a tide!
However, the most eye-catching thing is always the black full moon behind the floating pavilion, illuminating the deep and dark night. It contradicts the golden and Yang, showing a mysterious landscape of Yin and Yang matching the sky.
Master Donglin noticed that Zhao Shun was suspicious and explained: "This is Wuming Tianfu, the head of the nine sect mansions."
In the Zhaoyan small world, there are nine places where the spiritual source is erupting, which are also the nine boundary points that stabilize this small world.
Among them, Wu Mingtian, the head of the nine palaces, controls the changes of the sun and the moon in the small world, and connects the yin and yang. It is the cave mansion where the successive heads of Zhaoyan are located. As for the other eight spiritual source mansions, they are where the sect's supreme elders are located. Without exception, these nine people are all venerables in the externalization stage, and they are also called the nine Zhaoyan venerables.
At the same time, there are nine Taiyuan sages, who are as famous as Zhaoyan's nine external sages. No matter how the big and small sects change in the Chongxiao world for thousands of years, the positions of these 18 sects who sit in the immortal sect will never change. There has never been a vacancy. If there is a person who has died and is incarnation, the main branch of the Immortal Sect will send people from the upper realm to the external stage to fill the honorary position, ensuring that the eighteen venerables are not lost.
When Zhao Xunfu heard that this was Wuming Tianfu, his heart tightened. Now that he was here, it was obvious who wanted to see her.
"Come with me."
In the venerable cave, Master Donglin also looked a little more solemn, and with a wave of his sleeves, he flew up to the floating pavilion.
Seeing someone coming, the boy chanting sutras on both sides of the pavilion's outer hall instantly opened his eyes, took the mallet in his hand, and struck the chimes behind him to form a tune.
"Enter!"
"Enter!"
"Enter!"
In front of you, the hall doors opened layer by layer, and the sound was like a great bell ringing.
Master Donglin stopped in front of the door and wanted to give Zhao Shun a look to signal her to come in, but he didn't expect that she had already straightened her clothes and took a few steps inward.
He was quite courageous, he pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Shun walked forward casually, stepping through the many jade steps in the palace, and saw a thin figure in front of the picture wall of the sun and moon shining together.
His face is like that of a man in his thirties, with a long beard on the chin, slightly plump cheeks, plump eyes, clear and elegant eyebrows, wearing a sky blue robe, a black jade crown on top, a pair of black silk shoes, and two knuckles as long as bamboo. In his hand, he held a bay leaf wood inlaid with jade Ruyi.
In those plain but soft eyes, there is a compassion that is heavier than that of the Buddha.
"Disciple Zhao Chun, I have met the leader!"
I have heard the name Zhao Shun from other people, but today is actually the first time Shi Xiangyuan has seen a real person. Even in front of the Venerable External Transformation, she stood still like a green pine, looking indestructible.
"No need to be polite."
He raised his hand to help Zhao Xunxu up and slowly stepped forward.
"Listen to Donglin, you have proposed Linglian Qingqi."
Seeing this, Zhao Shun raised his feet and followed behind him slowly, and replied softly: "I was occasionally touched by foreign affairs, and I have already discerned the true meaning of Taoism."
"Yeah." Shi Xiangyuan nodded slightly, with a satisfied tone, "The world is endlessly changing, and things are endless. However, few people can capture these external things, let alone benefit from them and feedback to themselves. You can do this, Not bad."
He smiled with relief again: "The reason why the disciples who join the sect go to the border to practice is to strengthen their Taoist heart in order to prepare for subsequent breakthroughs. When the sect first knew that you had entered the Jian Gang Realm, it understood that you have already surpassed the Taoist heart. You are much better than others, so I stopped your training and practice and called you back to the door."
"Then Donglin came to report and said that you had discerned the Taoist heart and brought up the spirit lotus pure energy. It was said that it was an unexpected surprise, but in fact it was not a big deal."
Shi Xiangyuan stopped walking, and the two of them entered the inner hall while walking. The windows were wide open, letting in the deep moonlight night, and the cool breeze blew into the cold winter.
"Sword cultivators are people with a strong Taoist mind. After they determine the way forward, everything is often unstoppable. Not long after you have broken the foundation, you will be able to discern the Taoist heart, which profoundly confirms this principle. .”
His compassionate eyes suddenly shone brightly, staring straight at Zhao Chun:
"Therefore, sword cultivators in the world will not fall into the devil easily, but once they fall into the devil, due to the tenacity of their Taoist heart and the deepness of their devilish intentions, they may even cause disaster to the whole world and commit acts of annihilation."
"Do you understand?"
