Ji Ruchen led Xuan Yi towards the inner hall. Xuan Yi asked as he walked: "Junior sister Ji, it seems that there are many martial arts and immortal cultivators in the inn today? Why is this? This time in previous years, it was not like this."
Ji Ruchen whispered: "Brother, you don't know something. The Demon Sect seems to be expanding the power of the sect recently. I heard that they have repeatedly gone to some small sects outside the four major sects to win over disciples. In order to improve their cultivation, they can gain immortality early. For the sake of temptation, they will be tempted to abandon the light and turn to darkness. If they do not comply, they may face catastrophe. These people are representatives elected by various sects. They seem to be holding a 'Devil-Conquering Conference' in Yanzhou for the purpose of Resist the demonic sect and continue to win over the righteous disciples."
"I see..." Xuan Yi nodded slightly, but did not answer.
Ji Ruchen was a little surprised to see that Xuan Yi, who had always hated evil, could remain calm after hearing this news, and said: "Brother, in fact, the reason why they held the 'Devil-Conquering Conference' here is just to think about the four major sects. I can stand up for them and fight against the Demon Sect together!"
When Xuan Yi heard this, his sword eyebrows moved slightly, but they quickly relaxed, and he sighed: "Junior sister, although good and evil have always been at odds with each other since ancient times, now that the evil sect is powerful, we must act with caution. More recently. Over the years, the Demonic Sect has been deliberately trying to erode the foundation of my righteous path. How could I not know this, senior brother? However, Master has repeatedly told me that once the good and the evil start a war, the ones who will suffer will still be innocent mortals. Teach me not to act on my own initiative. This matter is not only about the two sects of good and evil. , and more importantly, it concerns all the people in the world. Junior sister, you and I must not cause any trouble!"
"Senior brother is right! Ruchen took note of it." Ji Ruchen was shocked. He didn't expect that Xuan Yi, who had always hated evil, would be so calm when he heard the news, and actually comforted himself. According to his past personality, he should be eager to raise his arms and lead everyone to fight against the Demon Cult. Ji Ruchen was confused and asked again: "Senior brother, you have been traveling around the world for a long time, but have you noticed that this demon sect is doing something?"
Xuan Yi looked serious and nodded slightly: "It's true. There are many young masters among the three generations of disciples of the Demon Sect. I have traveled all the way from Liuying City, and I have indeed found signs that the Demon Sect is expanding its power. There are two paths of good and evil. Cultivation methods all come from the Taoist Book of Heaven. Although the demonic teachings are overbearing and powerful, they do not follow the Tao. If they excessively pursue the advancement of cultivation and do not seek enlightenment and becoming an immortal, in the end they may inevitably be infected by the evil spirit and fall into the demonic way. However, this is not true for those who It is indeed a big temptation to be eager for success and join someone who is not on the right path.
Moreover, there are also many talented people among the disciples of the Demon Sect, and the strength of its three generations of disciples should not be underestimated. If our righteous path cannot cultivate capable disciples, once the war between good and evil breaks out, we may be at a disadvantage. Master told me not to act rashly and cause a fight. But I vaguely feel that the demon sect’s counterattack is coming.
A hundred years ago, the two factions, good and evil, recuperated and recuperated after the battle at Yumo Mountain. The four sects of the Righteous Way have obtained two volumes of Buddhist and Taoist books, and their strength has grown rapidly. I think the Demonic Sect will definitely not be willing to accept it. In addition to what Junior Sister Ji just said, it seems that they are going to take action. For this reason, I also made an appointment with the brothers from Xuyu Mountain and Huijian Mountain to come here for discussion. I predict that they will arrive soon and they will bother Junior Sister. "
Ji Ruchen said hurriedly: "Senior brother, don't speak like outsiders. You and I, the Fanyin Temple and the Tiangang Sword Sect, are the same righteous path. This time, senior brother is working on the good and evil again, and I hope that I can do my part." . Please rest assured, senior brother, when the senior brothers from Fanyin Temple and Tiangang Sword Sect arrive, I will treat them well, junior sister."
Ji Ruchen made Xuan Yi sit down in a quiet place. Jiang Daren served tea, exchanged a few pleasantries with Xuan Yi and then walked away, leaving his two senior fellow apprentices behind. Ji Ruchen personally showed the tea to Xuanyi, and Xuanyi was not polite. He picked up the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Ji Ruchen refilled tea for Xuan Yi, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Senior brother Xuan Xi has been missing for half a year. Is this why senior brother went to Liuying City?"
Xuan Yi shook his head slightly and sighed: "Junior sister is right! At first, I suspected that Liuying Sword God was deliberately disturbing my Xiaoyao sect. After visiting Liuying City and his party, I felt that this was not the case. After all, Liuying Sword God wanted to disturb my Xiaoyao sect. After all, Liuying Sword God wanted to disturb me. Shadow Sword God also encountered unexpected events in the Forbidden Land. He is the key to guarding Liuying City and even Qingzhou.
Junior sister, you also know that the Liuying sect mainly focuses on martial arts. Although they have acquired some Taoist cultivation methods, they are still not orthodox to our Taoism, and they will never be able to achieve the Great Dao. If they intend to attack me Xiaoyao, they just want to covet my Taoist Heavenly Book to enhance the strength of Liuying City. They will never do it at the expense of Liuying Sword God! "
Ji Ruchen pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and then asked: "Brother, the Taoist Heavenly Book is the most precious treasure of my righteous cultivation. Since the Liuying sect has been coveting it for a long time, is it possible that it is the place where the Liuying Sword God sneaked in? Senior Brother Xuanxi I just happened to find it—"
"Absolutely impossible!" Xuan Yi waved his hand and said: "The Gate of Chaos is my forbidden place. According to legend, it was transformed into the energy of chaos when the world first opened. This energy of chaos has the ability to create all things. Even if you have the power of gods and demons It's hard to shake even the slightest bit of power. Before going to Liuying City, even with the master's teachings and the divine sword Blazing Ice, I couldn't open it.
Thinking about it, it must have been that Senior Brother Xuanxi opened the Gate of Chaos by chance and entered with the Liuying Sword God, and then encountered an unexpected incident. Unfortunately, after the Chaos Door was forcibly opened, even Master could no longer enter inside. As for the reason and truth behind Senior Brother Xuanxi's murder, perhaps only Senior Brother Xuanxi and Liuying Sword God know. "
Ji Ruchen nodded silently and said softly: "Senior brother, what you said makes sense. If Uncle Yuan Tianzong's Taoist skills can't open the door of chaos, it seems that it will be difficult to solve this mystery."
Xuan Yi also nodded, suddenly his brows relaxed a little, and he looked at Ji Ruchen, his eyes full of concern, and said: "Senior Brother Xuan Xi's affairs are handled by our own sect, so I don't have to worry about Junior Sister. I also heard about Brother Jiang Xian I wonder what junior sister’s plans will be in the future?”
Just as Ji Ruchen was about to answer, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps "thump-thump-thump".
Jiang Xiaohu shouted while running: "Mom! I heard from Uncle Daren that a master from the Xiaoyao Sect has arrived! You must let me meet him this time!" As he spoke, Jiang Xiaohu had already rushed to the table of the two of them. He was panting, grabbed a sweat towel and wiped the sweat from his face, staring at Xuan Yi. When his eyes moved to the Hanyue sword placed by Xuan Yi beside him, he could no longer leave it.
Ji Ruchen stood up quickly and said apologetically: "Senior brother, don't blame me! This is my son Jiang Xiaohu. It's all because of my usual neglect of discipline. Today I lost my etiquette in front of senior brother!" Ji Ruchen said to Jiang Xiaohu again: "Xiaohu , why don’t you salute your uncle Xuanyi quickly!”
Jiang Xiaohu hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and after responding, he quickly saluted Xuanyi and said loudly: "Disciple Jiang Xiaohu, pay homage to Master Xuanyi!"
Xuanyi helped Jiang Xiaohu up with one hand and said with a "haha" smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Xiaohu, sit down quickly! Let the uncle take a good look at you! I remember the last time I came here was three years ago. At that time, I was with Your father drank and talked freely. Alas, things in the world are unpredictable. At that time, your mother took you to the Qingxu Sect, and we never met you. Then you should be twelve years old this year!"
"Uncle Mingjian, I am exactly twelve years old this year!" Jiang Xiaohu sat with Ji Ruchen and Xuan Yi. Xuan Yi looked up and down at the young man in front of him. Seeing that he was tall and tall, with a strong back and strong waist, full of energy and a heroic spirit, he felt a little more fond of him.
Ji Ruchen also saw the admiration in Xuanyi's eyes and thought that this was a good opportunity to find a famous teacher for Xiaohu. However, she thought of her errant husband and felt quite reluctant to give up. After struggling for a moment, he still said: "Senior brother, Xiaohu has been obsessed with martial arts and Taoism since he was a child. Every time the senior sisters from the Qingxu sect come, he always surrounds them and asks them endless questions. Speaking of which, this kid is quite talented. The bones are considered to be good. But, senior brother, you also know that my Qingxu sect’s skills are passed on to women but not to men. Junior sister wants to invite——"
"Comrades! Something big has happened!" Ji Ruchen was interrupted by an urgent shout before he could finish his words. The three of them turned around and saw a middle-aged man, wearing a gray robe and holding a long sword, rushing into the Ruchen Inn like the wind.
The man first went to the table near the door and picked up a large bowl of tea. After drinking it all, he put down the tea bowl, wiped his mouth, stood in the middle of the inn, and said loudly: "Everyone, have you heard? Yesterday, Qingzhou Liuying City was attacked, and more than thirty members of the Liuying sect were killed! All the masters in Liuying City went to support, but unexpectedly, they all died tragically on the spot. Fortunately, the Seven Liuying Heroes fought to protect each other and saved the city. According to the people of Liuying City, the murderer is of extremely high moral character, holds a precious sword, and his sword skills are even more exquisite. No one who has fought with him can withstand even one and a half moves!"
Everyone was shocked after hearing this, and they all whispered to each other. Some people who knew Xuan Yi were still looking secretly at this side. Xuan Yi just said that he came from Liuying City and was proficient in sword skills, which inevitably aroused suspicion.
Hearing this, Xuan Yi's face fell like water, and he thought: "I just came back from Liuying City, and such a tragedy happened to the Liuying Sect. Could it be that I fell into someone else's trap unintentionally? Or... this person did it intentionally. Instigate the relationship between the Xiaoyao Sect and other sects, and insult my Xiaoyao reputation!" Thinking of this, Xuanyi clenched his right hand, exposing his veins, and he was about to stand up and argue.
Ji Ruchen knew that Xuan Yi had a hot temper, so she stretched out her hand to hold Xuan Yi's wrist and whispered softly: "Senior brother, don't get angry! The rumors may not be true. I'll go and find out what's going on first!" Xuan Yi turned his head slightly and looked towards Ji Ruchen slowly looked back and nodded.
Ji Ruchen had just stood up when he suddenly heard a sound of breaking through the air outside the inn, and a blue light crossed the sky and fell outside the inn door. The blue light dissipated, and a young man in a gray cloth robe was seen putting the blue fairy sword into its sheath and walking into the inn. The man was about twenty years old, about eight feet tall, with a majestic body and a face like a crown jewel. He carried a fairy sword behind his back and looked like a young hero.
"Yuan Shaoxia! It's Yuan Shaoxia from Liuying City!" The visitor's name is Yuan Xiaoai. It is said that he received a true biography from a strange person in his early years and developed a lot of skills and profound knowledge. Although he lives in Liuying City, he spends most of his time traveling around the rivers and lakes, slaying demons and doing chivalry. Because of this, there are not a few people in the world who know him.
