Three days later, Kou Yucheng and Zhang Guanfeng came to Xianyun Peak and had a long talk with Chu Ge.
Qi Du's death and Qin Zhen's "demon communication" are all trivial matters that are not worth mentioning. Chu Ge has two missions on this trip. One is to clear the obstacles for Feiyu Sect to merge with Five Elements Sect, and the other is to investigate The cause of death of Minghou Jiangcheng.
It is not difficult to convince Deng Yuantong. He is Xi Huzi’s disciple at Xianyun Peak and has no sense of belonging to Feiyu Sect. The previous letter from Wei Shiqi strengthened his attitude. Each of the seven sects has its own background. , relying on the Five Elements Sect is the general trend, and for him, this is the best choice.
After cutting off Zhang Chonghua's retreat, Park Tianwei can join forces with Zhang Chongyang and Yun Ji to attack him on Liushi Peak.
In comparison, what is more difficult is the matter of Hou Jiangcheng.
Chu Ge knew the background of Hou Jiangcheng very well. Long before he was introduced to the Immortal City by Liu Baizi, Qin Zijie met him first. The innate talent of thirteen orifices may be a treasure, and it can be regarded as a treasure in the Five Elements Sect. Unfortunately, Qin Zijie had no intention of accepting a disciple, but Hou Jiangcheng was unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and devoted himself to becoming a disciple of Kunlun.
On a whim, Qin Zijie decided to take this opportunity to plant a hidden stake in Xiandu. The candidate for this hidden stake fell on Hou Jiangcheng.
Qin Zijie did not force him, but allowed him to choose. If Hou Jiangcheng was willing to invest in the immortal capital as an internal response, Qin Zijie planted a wisp of demon fire in his body, granted half of the Pure Heart and Wuliang Curse, and promised to wait until he withdraws from the immortal city. Du, return to Kunlun, and then pass on the remaining half of his Pure Heart and Innocent Mantra to completely refine the Returning Demon Fire.
The demonic fire of Guiyuan enters the body and corrodes the internal organs day and night, causing unspeakable suffering. Only by slowly refining it with the Pure Heart and No False Mantra can the danger be turned into peace. This is torture, but it is also an opportunity, and it is of great benefit to practice. From this point of view, the demonic fire It was a test given to him by Qin Zijie. Only by passing this test could he be qualified to be included in the Kunlun Gate Wall.
Hou Jiangcheng had been on the move for most of his life, and he had an extremely stoic character, so he agreed without hesitation.
Everything was as expected by Qin Zijie. Liu Baizi introduced Hou Jiangcheng to the Immortal City and cultivated him carefully. Once he became a Taoist, he accepted him as his direct disciple. However, things in the world often go unsatisfactory, and no one expected that Hou Jiangcheng, with such a qualification, could not form a Taoist body, and ended up becoming an outer disciple and sinking.
Qin Zijie did indeed plant a hidden stake in the Immortal Capital, but the value of this hidden stake was not as great as expected. The outer disciples were not allowed to go to Xianyun Peak at will, and the secrets of the Immortal Capital could not be found out at all. Hou Jiangcheng was just worthless, so Qin Zijie had to make other plans.
The opportunity came from the distant town of Customs. The reason is a long story.
Today's surname is Zhao, and he lives in the Forbidden City in the capital. Eight hundred miles south of the capital is Liantao Mountain of Taiyi Sect.
Zhao Tianzi is the registered disciple of Chu Tianyou. With the support of Taiyi Sect, the country is stable and calm. At the age of more than seventy, he still looks like a middle-aged man.
The emperor was in love with the throne, and his sons couldn't wait any longer. They secretly made friends with powerful generals, sent troops into the Forbidden City, and launched a rebellion. As a result, Emperor Zhao was unscathed under the protection of the immortal master. He killed all the rebels and killed his three sons one by one.
Emperor Zhao showed no mercy in putting down this rebellion. He killed an unknown number of people before and after, killing them until rivers of blood flowed across the river.
Among the severed heads was a man whose surname was Yan. He was a clerk in the prince's palace. He was gentle and talented. His mother, Chen Jiuyue, was originally a dancing girl bought by Chen Dong, a wealthy businessman in the capital. Chen Dong's ancestral home was Tonglu in the Western Region. At that time, there was a down-and-out general living in the capital. Chen Donghui recognized a hero with his eyes. He had a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days. He generously gifted a mansion and a beautiful lady, deliberately winning over her, and the friendship was very close. Later, the young general became a foreigner. He served as a frontier soldier in the western frontier and accumulated military exploits until he became a general of hussars, guarding the customs and keeping the Tiebou army at bay. His reputation spread far and wide, and he was known as the "needle to calm the sea in the northwest."
The general Chen Dong met when he was humble was the future Cavalry General Xu Changsheng.
Before leaving the capital, Chen Jiuyue was pregnant. Xu Changsheng entrusted her to Chen Dong, leaving an old slave to take care of her.
After leaving, there was no news. Chen Jiuyue gave birth to Lin'er. In compliance with the old slave's wishes, he gave up the surname Xu and adopted the famous name Teng, with the word Yi/Fei. Yan Yifei was smart since he was a child, well-read in poetry and books, and rich in economics. He was known as a child prodigy, but unfortunately he failed in many trials. Later, he was recommended by Chen Dong and served as a clerk in the Prince's Mansion, and he won the Prince's trust.
During this period, Xu Changsheng went to the capital to report on his work and secretly met with his son several times, but always kept it from him and did not reveal the relationship. In his mind, if the prince ascends the throne in the future, his son must be reused. If he knew that his father was a border general with heavy troops, he would inevitably have some taboos. It would be better to keep it secret and figure it out slowly.
A few years later, Chen Jiuyue and Lao Nu passed away one after another, and Yan Yi/Fei was left alone. He simply moved into the prince's residence and handed over the mansion to Chen Dong to take care of without any further interference. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened, and the prince was involved in a rebellion. The cavalry broke into the prince's mansion, killing people like cutting grass. Hundreds of people were slaughtered, including the illegitimate son of the cavalry general Xu Changsheng.
Chen Dong has great magical powers, spends money like water, manages everything, bribes the autopsy officials, steals Yan Yi/Fei's body, embalms it with fine spices, personally supports the coffin and delivers it to the town customs, and talks with Xu Changchang all night .
Xu Changsheng collected his son's body and decided to avenge him.
It was a long way from Zhenguan to the capital. Even if he mobilized all his troops, crossed the mountains and fought all the way to the foot of the capital, he could not do anything to Emperor Zhao. The rebellion that happened at the elbow and armpit showed everything. Emperor Zhao had the power of Taiyi Sect. The Immortal Master protects you and cannot be easily moved.
There are immortal masters in the capital, and also in the northwest frontier.
In the extreme west of Kunlun, two peaks stand side by side, one is Xianyun and the other is Tiandu. The Xiandu sect is located here.
Xu Changsheng deliberately made friends with the Xiandu sect. He first established a relationship with the outer sect and supplied them with fine horses and goods. Then he managed to marry Deng Yuantong's sister as his head wife and gave birth to a son, Xu Li.
After several years of contact, Xu Changsheng realized that Xi Huzi, the head of Xiandu, was troubled by his injuries and had no time to look around. It was almost impossible to expect him to help. He began to consider the possibility of supporting his brother-in-law Deng Yuantong to take over and replace Xi Huzi in charge of Xiandu.
It was also by chance that Xu Changsheng got in touch with the Five Elements Sect through Zhou Ji. Only then did he know that the Immortal Capital was located in a corner of the Kunlun Mountains and was just one of the seven side branches. Compared to the behemoth of the Kunlun Sect, , Xi Huzi is nothing.
His horizons broadened and his ambitions grew. He began to cooperate with the Five Elements Sect. Through Deng Yuantong's relationship, he sent Xu Li and Xin Laoyao to the immortal capital, and began to intervene in the rise and fall of the Kunlun branch.
The sword discussion in Chixia Valley was a golden opportunity. Qin Zi wanted to replace Xi Huzi with Huo Mian, and then divided the disciples of Xiandu, suppressing some, supporting others, inciting internal fighting, and dividing and conquering them.
It was Deng Yuantong's lineage that he planned to strongly support.
But the plan could not change quickly. Thunder and fire disaster clouds appeared out of the sky, the corpse-eating vine demon showed off its power, and the sword discussion in Chixia Valley became a nightmare. Together with Qin Zijie, all the disciples of the Five Elements Sect and the elites of the side branches became the slaves of the Taiyi Sect. Imprisoned. All the changes that followed were dizzying and completely out of control. Xi Huzi fell, the vitality of the Immortal City was severely damaged, Deng Yuantong became the head of the clan, and the Goujian Sect was removed from the direct line and demoted to the Immortal Capital, completely disrupting Qin Zijie's plan.
Pu Tianwei realized that Qin Zijie's original arrangement was to overthrow the immortal capital, destroy it and then establish it. The leader did not recognize the unrest, so he set up obstacles to punish the Gouyan Sect to express his attitude. He intervened in time and ordered Qin Zijie to stop all actions and withdraw from the underworld. Pile it and keep it quiet.
Facts have proved that Pu Tianwei's decision was completely correct. Although Deng Yuantong's immortal capital was greatly strengthened by the addition of Lu Wei, Song Yun and others, it also had a secret barrier with Feiyu Sect and gradually drifted away. Wei Shiqi's two The exchange of letters and Chu Ge's personal visit made Xiandu side with the Five Elements Sect.
It was just when they were withdrawing from Houjiang City that something unexpected happened, a small, insignificant accident.
