Chapter 144 [Secret Meeting]
Ge Xian came to a place that he had made an appointment with. This place was fifty miles away from Lucheng. On the top of an inconspicuous mountain, there was a Lanruo Temple.
Walking forward, under the induction of his spiritual consciousness, there were already several good auras in the temple, and their strength was no less than his.
Soon, the temple door opened, and a young novice monk saluted him. Ge Xian returned the salute, and then entered the temple.
The incense here is not prosperous, but the number of pilgrims is relatively stable. Although it is located in a remote place, it can be maintained.
There are not many monks in the temple, only about ten, and they are all mortals.
Under the leadership of the young novice monk, Ge Xian was thinking about the strangeness of today's execution of the imperial master, and the purpose behind why Old Lu Shangshu made this request in the first place.
Arriving in front of a Zen room at the back of the temple, the young novice retired. At this time, those auras that were not weaker than his were inside, waiting for him.
The door was opened, and a handsome man with a beard dressed as a scribe, about forty years old, saw Empress Ge and laughed loudly: "You are indeed a young hero. Come on, please come in."
Ge Xian nodded and entered, immediately feeling the pressure from the other two eyes.
Including him, there were four people in the room, one of whom was a woman, who must be the representative of Cixin Temple. In addition to the scribe man just now, there was another person who looked a little unkempt, with long hair hanging on his shoulders and a big stubble. Dui, wearing loose Taoist robes, looked like a ferocious beast, which made people uncomfortable.
"I have met two fellow Taoists, I am Ge Xian, the elder of the Tianmu Sect." Ge Xian was not afraid either. Although his age was far from that of the three people in front of him, it was estimated that these three people were old enough to be his great ancestor. But the spiritual world respects strength. As long as you are strong enough, you can ignore age, seniority, identity and status.
The representative of Cixin Temple was somewhat beyond his expectation. He was not dressed as a monk, but as a lady. There were many jewelry on the bun, making people feel like a concubine in the palace.
"Xuan Jing mentioned your situation to me. You are a friendly Taoist. I also know a little bit about Tianmu Sect. Not long ago, the previous sect leader Linghu passed away, but he had some friendship with me. I didn't expect that he would have a successor. It's really gratifying. Congratulations." The woman's tone sounded like that of Ge Xian's senior. Ge Xian was slightly dissatisfied, but not angry.
"Fellow Taoist Daoist Linghu is right. Fellow Taoist Linghu had fought a fierce battle with a ferocious beast for the sake of longevity, and was seriously injured. Unfortunately, he failed to capture the monster in the end. I have a predestined relationship with the Tianmu Sect, so I went down the mountain to practice. Then I met Head Linghu and now Head Peng. Although I have no intention of serving as the guardian elder, the sect is still in the process of handover, so I can only reluctantly agree." Ge Xian also gave a general explanation of his situation.
The woman nodded to express her understanding, and then introduced herself: "I am Dong Xiaowan, a lay disciple of Cixin Temple, Xuan Jing is a monk disciple, and Concubine Dong Guifei is also a lay disciple. Our two branches work together to maintain the sect, one bright and one secret. "
"Understood, fellow Taoist, you're welcome." Ge Xian nodded. Seeing her kindness, he accepted it immediately.
Then the scribe man spoke, but instead of introducing himself, he introduced the slovenly man beside him, and said: "This is Qiu Chengli, the elder of the Punishment of Evil Sect. He hates evil as much as his enemies. He has been a knight errant in various countries for decades, slaying demons. He eliminates demons and is known as the Evil Sword Immortal."
Ge Xian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Punishing Evil Sect was still the sect where Zheng Min was a chivalrous and righteous sect, but this seemed to be different from what he saw from King Zhennan.
With a smile on his face, Ge Xian cupped his hands and said, "I've met Master Qiu. I'm glad I met him."
"Nice to meet you." Qiu Chengli looked cold and had no unnecessary words. He didn't know whether it was because he was born like this or because he treated Ge Xian specially.
Finally, it was the scribe's turn to introduce himself: "I am from the Dahuang Sect - Wenren Youguang, who has a close relationship with Lu Shangshu's family. This time I received a letter from his old man, so I came here to see my brother. As expected, it was not This trip is in vain.”
"Thank you for the prize. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lu are extremely intelligent people. I just show my public conscience and morality. I hope the three of you can understand." Ge Xian reached out and touched the package. There was a flash of light and an extra box suddenly appeared. , wrapped in cloth and placed on the table.
"Presenting the certificate of surrender!" Ge Xian unwrapped the cloth and looked at the three people, only to find that they all laughed, and suddenly felt puzzled.
When he looked down, his eyes suddenly widened. He couldn't believe it, because the original head of the national master actually turned into the head of a monster, and it still looked like a wild boar.
Only then did Ge Xian realize that the person he killed was not the Imperial Master at all, but a substitute of the Imperial Master. He used a wild boar spirit as his substitute. No wonder the soul did not escape at all after killing him.
Thinking of the wild boar spirit's ability, Ge Xian suddenly felt a little heavy. It was a bit difficult for him to deal with a substitute of the national master, wouldn't it be the national master himself?
Dong Xiaowan covered her mouth and smiled sweetly: "Actually, we have known for a long time that the national master of the Bliss Sect is very cautious and has trained many clones. It is very difficult to kill him in one fell swoop, so we have to gather several of our forces. the power of."
"Yes, don't underestimate the Bliss Sect. At first, our Great Desolate Sect had the upper hand in strength. But as time went by, the strength of the three sects gradually became balanced. In the past hundred years, the strength of the Bliss Sect has expanded sharply, probably because of their cultivation methods and The hedonistic ideas he preached confused many mortals and monks, and when the three of us realized that something was wrong, we couldn't stop it from gaining momentum." Wenren Youguang said with emotion.
Ge Xian asked in confusion: "With the strength of the three of you, can't we win it?"
"You are wrong. As the Bliss Sect grows stronger, the strength of the three of us is weakened. At its peak, it was difficult for the three of us to deal with it together. Moreover, I can tell you clearly that when we tried it, we fought ten times. After so many years of suffering, we have to admit the fact that we can only lie dormant and wait for the Paradise Sect to decline before we can find a solution." Qiu Chengli's words were so powerful that they made people's eardrums hurt.
Ge Xian was silent for a while and said, "Is the time ripe now?"
"Not yet, do you know the true strength of the Bliss Sect?" Wen Ren Youguang asked.
Ge Xian naturally shook his head, and then the other party continued: "The master of the Bliss Sect is mysterious. It is said that he has been in seclusion for almost a month. We don't know whether he is alive or dead. We even suspect that this person's identity may have been replaced a long time ago, so who is the master of the Bliss Sect now? Who is currently unknown. The Bliss Immortality Kung Fu practiced by this person is said to be a branch of the Soul Palace Zhensect Kung Fu. Since the Soul Palace almost disappeared from the battle with Xiaoyao Sect decades ago, there are also rumors that it was obtained by the Bliss Sect. He has mastered the core skills of the Soul Palace, so his strength cannot be underestimated."
"Soul Palace?" Ge Xian's heart suddenly jumped, thinking of Tantai Qi who wanted to take revenge on him. Since the last time the two of them fought, he knew that he and he were already in a life-or-death situation.
Unexpectedly, here, the Bliss Sect would actually be involved with the Soul Palace, which suddenly heightened his sense of responsibility.
