Chapter 529 Forget the Old and the New

Guo Nanshan was stunned and asked, "Why?"

Jing Jiu said, "Wang Xiaoming is dead."

Guo Nanshan said: "But neither the Fengdao Sect nor the imperial guards found his body."

Jing Jiu didn't explain any more, because he was sure that Wang Xiaoming was dead, no matter whether the body was found or not.

Guo Nanshan believed his judgment, and said solemnly, "If it's Su Ziye, this matter should be treated with more caution."

After the West Sea Bureau ended, everyone knew that Su Ziye had an agreement with the Zhongzhou faction. If Su Ziye was the person who summoned the old Xuanyin sect in Yizhou, is there any shadow of the Zhongzhou sect behind this incident? The spring rain has just fallen, Yunmeng has just opened the mountain, and the shadow that has been hidden for three years is about to reveal its true face?

For Qingshan Sect, this is a very stressful matter.

There was also a look of vigilance in Lu Qing's eyes, thinking that he should really send someone to Yizhou to have a look.

Jing Jiu said, "It's not your concern. With such a low level, you should stay in the mountains and practice hard."

Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this sentence. The Qingshan Sect and the Zhongzhou Sect are the two leaders in the orthodox practice world, with profound foundations and countless strong people. If there is a war between the two sides, magic weapons and flying swords will fly all over the sky. With the level of disciples of Liangwang Peak, they will not be able to play any role at all, and they can only die.

In that level of war, only those above the Sea Breaking Realm are eligible to make some contributions.

Guo Nanshan felt uneasy and wanted to say something.

Jing Jiu continued, "When will you break the sea, and when will you go out of the mountains?"

Guo Nanshan was very speechless, thinking that there is no such statement in the door regulations.

Liangwang Peak's current style of behavior originated from the real Taiping, and it has been carried forward in the hands of the real Liu Ci.

On the day when Jing Jiu took over as the head, he said that everything would remain the same, why did he change the rules of Liangwang Peak?

"I think...you are prejudiced against Liangwang Peak."

Guo Nanshan looked at Jing Jiu and said seriously.

"I don't like Liangwangfeng, but that's not prejudice."

Jing Jiu said, "Tell me how many disciples died in Liangwang Peak in the past thirty years?"

No need to think about passing Nanshan, he said directly: "Fourteen younger brothers have already returned to Qingshan."

These fourteen Qingshan disciples died on the snowfield, on the West Sea, and in countless battles to slay demons and demons.

"Before the twelfth lunar month and I, Qingshan's most talented and potential young disciples all went to Liangwang Peak."

Jing Jiu said: "They should be able to go farther, even if they die, they should die when they are broken, or under the catastrophe."

Guo Nanshan didn't understand, and said: "My generation of sword repairers, if they don't go through the test of life and death, how can they become Dao?"

Jing Jiu said: "Letting rich children carry sandbags to earn money is not cultivating their hard-working spirit, it is an idiot's behavior."

Guo Nanshan understood what he meant, but he couldn't accept it—not to mention the wandering realm, even the Qingshan disciples in the Wuzhang realm were like gods in the mortal world. But according to Jing Jiu, Liangwang Peak disciples in this state are just children who have absolutely no ability to protect themselves?

He said: "Back then, you, the head of the sect, also traveled around the world with Master Zhao Layuefeng."

Jing Jiu glanced at him.

Gu Qing understood what Master wanted to say - can you compare with me?

Of course he won't say it.

Jing Jiu found that the most troublesome thing after becoming the head of the house was not meeting people, but having to talk a lot.

"Experiencing the test of life and death can indeed increase the speed of practice, but it is very likely that you will die. How can you break through the realm after death? Only by living can you have hope, and the higher your realm, the stronger the Qingshan. I don't want to repeat such a simple truth."

Guo Nanshan felt a little absurd, and thought that Qingshan was not cultivating the way of ruthlessness, so why not do anything?

"In the hundreds of years since Liangwang Peak, the number of monsters and evil people killed has not been as many as your master killed in one night."

Jing Jiu finally said, "Think about this for yourself."

...

...

Guo Nanshan still couldn't figure it out, but facing the example given by the head, he had nothing to say.

He returned to Liangwang Peak, summoned You Siluo, Gu Han and others, and told the story. These proud and brave Liangwang Peak disciples were naturally dissatisfied. They felt that the new head was acting recklessly, and there was a lot of disrespect in his words. They didn't calm down until they were reprimanded by Guo Nanshan.

"If they can all be like Master and his old man, then of course there will be no Xiao Xiao dare to show up in the world. The question is how many people like Master can there be in the world?"

Gu Han said angrily: "The sea-breaker can only go out of the mountain? The elders of the sea-breaker in Nine Peaks are practicing in seclusion every day, and they will only come out unless there is a big event in the sect. How could they be willing to come out of the mountain because of these trivial things in their eyes? If we are like this in Liangwang Peak, then who will kill demons? Who will protect those mortals?"

The new head's ban on Liangwang Peak quickly spread in Qingshan, causing a lot of controversy and dissatisfaction. Over the years, Liangwang Peak has always been regarded as Qingshan's sharpest sword. The young disciples in the peak represent Qingshan's image in the world and prove Qingshan's glory. Now they are forbidden to go out of the mountain, what should they do?

...

...

Jing Jiu has always disliked Liangwang Peak.

In fact, what he doesn't like is not the young disciples of Liangwang Peak, but the taste and existence of Liangwang Peak itself.

The masters of Breaking Sea Realm and Tongtian Realm are all practicing in closed-door training in their respective caves, but it is completely irresponsible to let these young people who only have Wuzhang Realm and Wilderness Realm practice in the world, to experience life and death. If you think about it in the deepest part, there is actually a great selfishness hidden in it.

If you feel that human things are not worth wasting your time and energy, then why let these children do it?

Another reason is that he doesn't like excitement.

A late banquet, then Nanshan, and then others.

The apes under the cliff kept calling, which was very lively.

Looking at his beauty and sadness, Zhao Layue said sympathetically, "It's better to lift the restriction."

Shenmo Peak's restriction is very strong, except for people like Yuan Qijing who can ignore it, other people who want to meet the new head can only obediently land at the bottom of the mountain, then walk up, and are welcomed into the cabin by Gu Qing. If the restriction is lifted, the people in Qingshan can fly directly to the peak without having to make those monkeys shout for a long time.

Jing Jiu thought it was more annoying than a monkey, so he waved his hand to signal no, and decided to bear it.

He walked out of the cave, came to the edge of the cliff, and looked towards Qingrong Peak opposite.

The new bamboo chair went to nowhere.

He thought that after Yuan Qijing came, Nan Wang would come over, but he didn't expect that she didn't show up until now.

well done.

He looked at the white cat in La Yue's arms, and praised him in his heart.

Ah Da meowed, straightened up triumphantly, and rubbed La Yue's face.

Jing Jiu said, "I'm going to visit Defeng."

Ah Da meowed, buried her face in it, and didn't want to talk to him.

Zhao Layue was a little puzzled, thinking to herself, didn't you say you wouldn't care about Jian Ruyun's affairs?

...

...

The term cold spring is the most suitable to describe the current Shangde Peak.

The green pines between the peaks are like a sea, and the snow line is getting higher and higher, but it is still cold.

The cave house covered with snow and frost all the year round was even more chilly when it was illuminated by the quiet sword light of the universe front.

Yuan Qijing stood by the well, looked at him and said, "The Liangwang Peak is Liu Ci's proud work."

Jing Jiu said, "It's not because he is selfish, it doesn't mean other people think the same way."

Yuan Qijing said: "I understand what you mean, but not all ascetics can be like you."

Jing Jiu said, "A cultivator should be like me."

Yuan Qijing thought for a while and said, "You're right."

It's not that I don't want to do it, it's just that I can't.

Although I can't come, I yearn for it.

At least for him and Liu Ci, it has been like this since many years ago.

Jing Jiu suddenly asked: "Is it more troublesome to be the head of the mountain? Who do I need to report to? You?"

Yuan Qijing said: "The head is the biggest, you can leave if you want."

Jing Jiu was a little puzzled, and said, "Isn't Liu Ci rarely going out?"

Yuan Qijing said: "He is learning from you."

Jing Jiu remembered the scene when he bid farewell to the Jing family, Duke Lu, and the emperor in Chaoge City, and was silent for a while.

...

...

Accompanied by that ray of sky light, he fell to the bottom of the dark well.

The corpse dog opened his eyes, bowed his head slightly and saluted him.

Jing Jiu returned the salute and walked to the depths of the Sword Prison.

Bai Rujing's cell is not far from Jian Ruyun's, it's closer to the hall, and the environment is not bad.

The two cells were very quiet. The angry young man may have scolded for days and nights, but he lost his strength. Bai Rujing didn't know what he was doing.

Of course he didn't come to see Jian Ruyun and Bai Rujing.

When he came to the hall, he looked towards the passage full of sword intent on his right, and his eyes fell on the closed stone door of the cell.

Xue Ji in the cell sensed his arrival, wrapped in a quilt and turned to look at the stone door of the cell.

The gazes of the two sides met again through the stone gate and heavy sword intent, and then there was a long silence.

Time is up.

Jing Jiu said a word before leaving.

"I have a new bamboo chair, do you want to change it?"

Xue Ji beeped twice, expressing her refusal.

...

...

Go to the end along the passage of Sword Prison, push open the stone gate, walk through the mist, and come to the hidden peak.

He summoned the universe front, stood up with the sword, flew on the clouds, and soon came to a mountain peak.

The backside of this mountain is very dark, and there is a cave hidden among the green vines, and the gemstones in front of the gate of the cave exude a red luster.

Fang Jingtian is in this cave.

He is the former peak master of Breaking Sea Peak, and he was very qualified to compete for the position of leader, but he was forced into the hidden peak retreat by Yuan Qijing three years ago, isolated from outside news, and is trying his best to break through the threshold of Tongtian Realm.

Jing Jiu understood what Yuan Qijing meant. This was the punishment for Fang Jingtian's private collusion with Daoist Taiping. If Fang Jingtian could not advance to the Tongtian Realm, he would have to die of old age in this cave, and eventually become a dead body in that distant mountain.

This is also a test and even encouragement for the other party Sedum.

If he can break through that threshold and become a master of the heaven-reaching realm, he will be able to walk out of the hidden peak.

In a sense, this is no different from the purpose of the disciples of Liangwang Peak to slay demons and demons in the world and accept the test of life and death.

Jing Jiu didn't know if Fang Jingtian would be successful, but he only knew that the day the other party walked out of the hidden peak was the day when he was in trouble.

He didn't leave immediately this time, sat down cross-legged, took out the porcelain plate that he hadn't seen for a long time, and started to pile sand.

Heaping sand is a game, a tool for meditation, and it can also be understood as a kind of calculation.

Fang Jingtian in the cave was not Xueji, so he didn't feel Jing Jiu's arrival.

The sunlight moves slowly, illuminating the continuous peaks into different shapes, and the colors are constantly changing between shades.

When twilight came, Jing Jiu finished his deduction and calculation, put away the sand table, stood up and left.

The results he worked out were not very good, and not very good.

That's not to say that's a vague, undirected result, but something more.

He felt that such a result was acceptable to him.

...

...

Jing Jiu went to Tong Yan's retreat cave, glanced at the green gemstone by the door, and pushed the door straight in.

Tong Yan is meditating and practicing, the faint smoke condenses into a tree above his head.

The appearance of the Dao tree shows that his realm has improved again. Presumably, the Nascent Soul has already achieved great success, but there is still some distance from the Huashen.

Tong Yan opened her eyes, looked at him and said, "This is very rude."

I don't know if it's due to his success in cultivation or some other reason, but his eyebrows are even lighter. Coupled with this immature face, the more serious his expression is, the cuter he is.

It is the most disgusting and even angry thing for an ascetic to be interrupted suddenly at the critical moment of his practice.

Jing Jiu ignored him, stretched out his hand and lightly pressed somewhere under the stone table, and the gemstone outside the cave turned red.

Then he said: "Su Ziye pretends to be Wang Xiaoming and wants to restart the Xuanyin Sect. Gu Qing is not good at doing these things. What do you think?"

Tong Yan said: "Su Ziye is not my friend, but he is He Zhan's friend and my ally."

Jing Jiu said, "I am not familiar with He Zhan, but he is an ally of the Zhongzhou faction, and you are now a disciple of Qingshan."

Tong Yan stared into his eyes and said, "Disciple Qingshan still has this kind of obligation?"

Jing Jiu hummed.

"Until now, I don't know which peak I am a disciple of, but it probably isn't Shenmo Peak."

Tong Yan smiled and said: "I will not join Shenmo Peak either, this does not violate our agreement, so you cannot order me."

Jing Jiu said, "It doesn't matter which peak you are a disciple of, because I am the master now."

Tong Yan was surprised and shocked, and it took a long time to recover.

Jing Jiu looked into his eyes, listened to his heartbeat and blood flow, felt his breath, and confirmed that this was a real reaction.

This shows that he really has no contact with the outside world, and Qing'er has never come to Yinfeng to look for him.

Tong Yan condensed a cup of water with Taoism, and handed it over with both hands: "Master, please drink tea."

Jing Jiu took it over.

Tong Yan said: "Su Ziye won't let you take it seriously."

Jing Jiu said, "Behind him is Xuan Yinzi."

Tong Yan understood what he meant.

Behind Xuanyinzi is Taiping Daoist.

"There is another thing. Liu Ci is gone. You should know better than anyone what the Zhongzhou faction should do."

Jing Jiu said, "You write a strategy and see how to deal with them."

Tong Yan looked at him quietly.

Jing Jiu said, "Want to go back?"

Tong Yan said, "I don't want to."

Then he took out the chessboard and placed dozens of pieces on it.
