In fact, people-to-people exchanges between the Central Plains and the Western Regions have never been cut off. The hard-working and simple people in China, adhering to the original driving force of making money and getting rich, constantly exchanged their needs between the two places, formed what is now known as China. trade route known as the Silk Road.
But after all, the exchanges between people are only based on the exchange of goods. Most of the exchanges are based on food and clothing, and these are precisely the things that people who cultivate immortals least need and are most likely to ignore.
As a result, the Central Plains and the Western Regions have become very familiar with each other. Intermarriage villages have even begun to appear in places not far from each other. When the boundaries between the two places become increasingly blurred, the immortal cultivating sects in the Central Plains really begin to pay attention to the Western Regions. This place.
The practice world in the Central Plains has always been in a state of overpopulation and scarcity of monks. The main reason is that although the territory is vast, there are many sects of cultivating immortals. Moreover, there are only a few dragon veins, so the sects are often clustered together. The most amazing thing is that within a period of time, one There are seven or eight sects gathered on the mountain.
As for how to draw positions and how to distinguish between high and low, it is actually simple. Which sect has the stronger overall strength will have the final say.
For a time, there were those who followed others, those who fought with each other, those who pushed against each other, and countless who fought.
Take the top of the mountain just now as an example. Seven or eight sects also took a fancy to the aura of this mountain, so everyone discussed carefully first, who was stronger and who was at the top of the mountain, and the rest were ranked in order.
There is a sect that is relatively weak and says that I don’t have many disciples anyway. Otherwise, I will follow you, Brother Shanshan, and become your subordinate sect. I will send all the good seedlings here to you for training, but there is a prerequisite. You have to let me move up there.
It doesn't matter if a small sect is attached, the strongest one has to show off, so naturally there will be injustice.
The other sects joined forces to deal with the two sects, the big one and the small one, advancing and retreating together. No matter how strong your individual sect is, you cannot prevent others from joining forces to make dirty tricks on you. It can be said that it is impossible to guard against it.
Not to mention the nonsense about the two sects running into each other, these sects are not all of the same mind, and there are many things that form cliques. In short, a place where spiritual energy gathers turns into a mess. Who can No one is allowed to smoke.
This is just one of the mountains. You can imagine how many such things happen in China.
The Kunlun Mountains in the Western Regions have always been the head of a huge dragon vein in the land of China. Naturally, this matter cannot escape the eyes of the Central Plains practitioners.
But on the one hand, the Western Regions are bitterly cold, far less pleasant than the Central Plains, and the products are rich. Naturally, no pampered "immortal" is willing to go to this inhospitable place to seek enlightenment.
On the other hand, the self-esteem of these immortal masters was still at work. They believed that the Western Region was a barbaric and uncivilized land, far inferior to the etiquette and education of the Central Plains people, and they were just barbarians.
Therefore, with these stereotypes and prejudices, these sects have been fighting among themselves for several years in the Central Plains. It was not until the people began to truly integrate that the people in these mountains had to start to face up to this treasure land of Feng Shui in the Western Regions.
The practitioners who first came here were a group of poor people who had been crowded out by the righteous path of cultivation in the Central Plains and had no place of purity. It’s not quite accurate to say that people are pitiful. After all, pitiful people have their own hateful qualities. If they weren’t bad-tempered and didn’t know how to be conceited, it wouldn’t be so. In short, these people have no rules and can’t reason. To put it bluntly, they are a little short-sighted. There is no sect that is kind enough to take them in. You can imagine how many times these people's characters have been mixed up.
Coming to the Western Region is nothing more than a desperate spirit. Anyway, it is true that you have a place to stay first.
They have gone through a long process of adaptation. Of course, the two things that bother them most are the language barrier and the acclimatization.
Unexpectedly, this group of people actually came to Kunlun Mountain by mistake.
Immortal cultivators are not all like Shushan disciples. The first thing they do when they get started is to learn how to control and raise swords. If you can't fly in the sky on your natal flying sword after a year and a half, you will be embarrassed to say hello to others when you go out.
The first thing to cultivate in practice is to maintain good health, prolong life, and have abundant spiritual power within the five inner beings. These are the foundation, and the kung fu of fighting with others is skills. These are just the appearance. There are very few people who practice sword practice like the Shushan disciples. , the killing aura is too strong.
So this group of people actually relied on their own feet to get here step by step.
Speaking of which, this seems a bit like the group of people who just came out of England and went to America to open up territories. Of course, the more familiar people are like the Jurchen descendants of the Lower Central Plains, the group of people who later established the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, he has no culture and no ability. It was just a coincidence that he became the first person to eat crabs.
Later, this group of people was taken in by the kind-hearted Kunlun sect and began to practice here.
There are so many ghosts in the Central Plains.
This group of people, who were originally disliked by dogs, unexpectedly gradually formed a considerable force in Kunlun Mountain.
If you have power, you will naturally need people, so a large number of practitioners from the Central Plains began to come here to take root in Kunlun Mountain.
Gradually, the local cultivators discovered a lot of things that were wrong. For example, why were there more and more immortal cultivators that they did not recognize around them? For example, why does learning the Kunlun Mountain exercises gradually require the contribution of any sect? Another example is why everyone used to discuss everything, but why is there still someone in charge now?
It should be said that these simple people in the northwest really don't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts, and the first group of immortal cultivators who came here know this truth best.
So after this group of people completely grasped the general trend of Kunlun Mountain, they designed a set of outrageously complicated rules and systems to restrain their disciples. To say how complicated it is, it is almost as big as the Qing Dynasty Law. of.
Everything has two sides. This complicated system not only did not bring down the Kunlun Sect, but made those who came here to practice more comfortable, forming a very healthy internal competition mechanism.
But the threshold for entry has correspondingly become much higher, and it is no longer the kind of place where you can stay if you want to, and leave if you want to.
Therefore, this sect is still the largest immortal cultivating sect in the Western Region, and even became the largest immortal cultivating sect in China in just a hundred years.
In order to show the sect's superiority and inviolability, the first-generation immortal master of the Kunlun Sect in the new era used immortal magic to lift one of the tops of the Kunlun Mountains out of the ground and float it in mid-air.
The Kunlun Sect finally changed its name to the Kunlun Qionghua Sect one day.
But good times don't last long, or in other words, time is also fate.
The leader of the Qionghua Sect, because of his eagerness for quick success, attempted to lift the entire mountain to the heaven, so that all Qionghua Sect disciples would be in the Immortal Class. However, he took an evil path and was knocked down to earth by the messenger of the gods. The entire mountain fell to the ground. , the entire sect collapsed.
Since then, the practitioners in the Western Regions have never raised their heads again, until now [3Q Chinese].
The goddess's voice kept echoing in everyone's ears, and Qi Zhen finally understood why the goddess hated the original team members so much.
Presumably, these people from the Western Regions who have practiced immortality will not have good senses for the Central Plains people, let alone the immortal cultivators among these Central Plains people.
Thinking about it, hundreds of years of experience are enough to influence ordinary people's judgments about the people of the Central Plains. After all, the languages are incomprehensible and the customs are vastly different. It is not surprising that this is the case.
But what the other party told about the Kunlun Qionghua Sect was the first time Qi Zhen heard about it, and she finally connected the timeline with the story of The Legend of Sword and Fairy.
However, for the current team, these things are not important. No matter what, they still have to go to Buzhou Mountain and get back the pillars of Chengtian Pillar, so that they can help Wu Tian complete the seal of the leakage of demonic energy.
The other party did not expect that the team would be so powerful, and everyone in the team could not imagine that the story about the Western Region would be so twists and turns, but this did not prevent Qi Zhen from continuing to explore information about Buzhou Mountain.
"Mother-in-law, after so many years, we can understand that you have resentment in your heart, but we really want to go to Buzhou Mountain to get something. This thing is extremely important. Without it, I am afraid that the entire land of China will be devastated, so no matter what, Also ask my mother-in-law for help.”
After hearing what the other party said, Qi Zhen was naturally not the kind of unreasonable person and spoke sincerely.
"Then you should explain clearly why you want to go to Buzhou Mountain, otherwise I will have to see the guests off, old lady." The goddess's face brightened slightly and she said to Qi Zhen.
The team is very good at using emotions to explain things, not to mention that it is true in the first place. The team just followed Wu Tian's instructions and did not inform the other party about the Chengtian Pillar, but for the gods and demons The demonic energy of the well leaked out, and the people of the Central Plains were already in dire straits. One word stood out: miserable.
It took less than half an hour to mention that the people on both sides of Taihu Lake were not fully clothed, the people in the Dabie Mountains were not hungry, and even the matter of living in Chao Kingdom was attributed to the evil spirit. No matter how exaggerated it was, it was impossible for the other party to do so. He went to the Central Plains to seek confirmation.
The last goddess mentioned looked sad and was about to shed tears.
The eyes of everyone in the team also softened a lot.
"Mother-in-law, we just joined Shushan half a month ago. Although we are now regarded as Shushan's disciples, we haven't learned any of Shushan's magic, so we hurried here to get things. You really have to help us. We are also doing it for the world. Think about the common people!" Qi Zhen sighed with indescribable sadness.
