Li Dai Tao Jiang
Chapter 154 Li Daitao is stiff
When a car reaches the mountain, there will be a road, and when a boat reaches the bridge, it will be straight. These words are often used by ordinary people to comfort themselves, but Lou He has always liked these two sentences.
But for him this is not a blind belief, but an expectation of results. If you want to have this kind of expectation, you can't really wait for the car to arrive at the mountain or the boat to arrive at the bridge, but you must make arrangements in advance.
For example, when I started setting up the arrangement before, I knew that the battle between Jian Zong and Xuan Jiao was about to begin.
In the time of peace, the Five Mountains Zhenxing Sect worked very slowly, slowly, that is, carefully. A person left Coffin City decades ago without a trace, and then came back decades later. Even if he has the endorsement of the mountain master Wu Meng, he will still be scrutinized when he returns to the main altar of the mountain gate. After an investigation, many things may be revealed. I can't hide it anymore.
So he chose this time. The original idea was that even if Wu Meng could not get his understanding, as long as he could stay in Coffin City and improve his cultivation, he would be able to come in handy in the upcoming war.
He has been to Youjiuyuan and knows the temperament of the swordsmen. He does not need to actually end up killing his fellow sects. As long as he participates in every battle and survives with this familiarity and understanding, he will naturally enter the upper echelons of the sect little by little. At that time, there is no need to pay attention to Wu Meng - he is just a stepping stone.
But he didn't expect that Li Wuxiang would come later and mess up all his plans. But now that the arrangements have been made, you can now believe that there will be a road for cars to reach the mountain and for boats to reach the bridge. Li Wuxiang and Mei Qiulu killed Wu Meng and most of the Qi Refining monks in Coffin City, or in other words, Someone who knew what he had been up to.
So in the next few days, no one cared whether Lou He was living in the guest house or not. When he cautiously made some tips and suggestions, his identity changed from a prisoner known only to Wu Meng to a senior who was about to become a god after traveling inside and outside the diocese for decades.
When the mountain masters of Dancheng and Wucheng also died at the Coffin City ferry, people in the city were immediately panicked. The disciples brought by the two mountain masters immediately left. The remaining few traveling monks in the coffin city also immediately found some way to go back to the main altar, fearing that the Nascent Soul swordsman would become fierce and murderous. Come into the city - everyone knows that there are only two Nascent Souls in the Sword Sect today, and the one wandering around is naturally Mei Qiulu. And at least in the eyes of the Xuanjiao people, Mei Qiulu has a bad temper and a very vicious reputation. !
Therefore, in the next ten days, before the main altar sent the real person in charge, Lou He actually took control of Coffin City together with the two heads of Anmin Mansion and Zhenshou Mansion.
On the sixteenth day, Lou He saw the envoy from the Dongyue Altar of the True Form Sect on the first floor of the Mountain Lord's Mansion.
The Five Mountains Zhenxing Sect is divided into five dioceses, each named after one of the Five Mountains. Coffin City, the surrounding Dan City, Wu City, and thirty-four other large cities are all under the jurisdiction of Dongyue Altar.
The owner of the Dongyue Altar is called the Dongyue Priest. Those subordinate to Reverend Dongyue who control the practitioners in the diocese are called the masters of Shenming Hall.
The war is about to begin, and all those being mobilized are cultivators. Therefore, the current leader of Shenming Hall has set up a "conscript" position, responsible for recruiting disciples in Dongyue Altar.
What Lou He saw in the Mountain Master's Mansion was a monk in the realm of refining gods who was subordinate to Master Dongyue, to Master Shenming, and to Dongyue Zhengzong. His position was "Guardian of Deyang."
The surname of the Deyang guard was Miao, and his name had only one meaning. It should be because of my own preference. She looks white, fat, round, and looks harmonious.
When Lou He was led into the room by his attendants, Miao Yi was sitting on a chair with his eyes downcast, seemingly closing his eyes to rest. After hearing Lou He's footsteps, he raised his head, glanced at Lou He, and sighed: "Oh, this coffin city has been almost destroyed. When I came here, I saw that the coffin mountain had collapsed. It was shaken." This city is ruined. This place will be abandoned in the future.”
He waved his hand to his side and motioned the attendant to exit with his eyes: "Junior brother, sit down. I heard your name is Lou He, right?"
Lou He sat down diagonally across from him and replied, "Yes."
Miao Yi frowned slightly and thought for a while, then leaned forward a little: "I heard about a Lou He decades ago. He was very young at the time and was about to become a god-"
Lou He smiled bitterly: "That's me."
Miao Yi leaned back and looked at him with a frown: "Oh, what are you...you haven't practiced God yet? What's going on?"
Lou He shook his head: "Guard, this matter, alas, he has passed away, so I'd better not mention it."
Miao Yi thought for a while: "Master Wu? Then you have to tell me. I came here this time to investigate what happened before Coffin City, and there is also something about Master Wu."
Lou He was silent for a moment and sighed: "Guardian, if you have to say it, alas, when I came to Coffin City, I was still young and had an unstable Taoist heart. I was misunderstood by a woman. I didn't succeed in refining the gods." At that point, Lord Wu helped me. After that, he had some things to do. I wanted to repay my kindness, so I helped him with some things, walking around inside and outside the diocese... Lord Wu also practiced. God."
Miao Yi thought for a while: "So you helped Wu Meng collect elixirs and magic materials?"
Lou He smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Miao Yi leaned back on the chair, looked at him for a while, and breathed out: "I understand. Well, it's not surprising. If you didn't have such a pure and honest temperament, you wouldn't be under the control of the Yuanying Swordsman of the Sword Sect. After our people were defeated, they still stayed in the city to take charge of the overall situation and protect the people. Junior Brother Lou, there are very few people like you in the teaching."
"But I just said that when I came back to Coffin City, I wanted to ask——"
Lou He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up: "Ah, guard, please wait a moment, I forgot-"
"What?" Miao Yi frowned, but after only saying two words, Lou He hurried up to the second floor of the Mountain Lord's Mansion. Miao Yi frowned even more tightly, and just as he was about to make a sound, Lou He came down from the second floor again, holding a booklet in his hand, and handed it to Miao Yi.
"What?"
"That night when the people from Jianzong sneaked into the city to kill people and destroy the mountain, they had a fierce fight with Mountain Lord Wu. When I arrived here, the Mountain Lord's mansion was already in chaos, and some bold soldiers were taking advantage of the chaos. "Lou He sighed and said while watching Miao Yi flip through the book, "I have executed those soldiers on the spot a few days ago, but I don't know how many pills and magic materials were stolen from the mansion that night."
"I have searched these days... everything left in the Mountain Lord's Mansion is for Wu Shanzhu's private use. I sorted it out and made this booklet, listing them one by one. Now that Wu Shanzhu is gone, these things should be Turn it over to the main altar or Dongyue altar, but I am considered a hidden disciple in the sect... Miao Zhengshou, please forward those things to the upstairs."
Miao Yi remained silent, flipped through the book, put it on his lap, and waved his hand towards Lou He: "Sit down. Alas, when I heard your name, I was still thinking why you were hiding? Are you really going back to Dongyue Temple? , it is inevitable to be severely punished, but now I know it is. Because Wu Meng... the precepts in the teaching are precepts, but we practitioners have not reached the state of perfect harmony. In private, who wouldn't have unbroken emotions and desires? Forget it, Wu Meng is responsible for this, as you said. Yes, this person is dead, don’t pursue it anymore.”
He thought again: "What happened that night?"
Lou He whispered. Miao Yi patted the booklet gently while listening. He waited for Lou He to stop speaking before nodding and taking a breath: "What did I think? I never thought of such a thing...Wu Meng's son became a swordsman? He... Man... I heard about it in Dongyue Altar. I thought he was a strict person. Mr. Li Zhengzheng, I really didn’t expect that. Alas, if you are such a person, it’s no wonder he keeps you here. I guess he still used some tricks on you, right? Okay, okay, let’s not mention it. You are a loyal person. , I don’t want to talk about his fault at this time, alas.”
Miao Yi sighed a few more times, and then Lou He asked: "Shou Miao, when you come this time, you want to visit Dancheng and Wucheng, right?"
Miao Yi shook his head: "I mainly came to Coffin City to see what happened that night. In a few days, I will go to Deyang to see it again."
Lou He was stunned for a moment: "Deyang? That Deyang outside the teaching?"
Miao Yi smiled: "Of course, I am responsible for guarding Deyang, right? I am going to Deyang to move mountains and reclaim the sea, and to change the atmosphere of the land, so as to prepare for the deployment of the sect's army."
Lou He was stunned for a while: "Dispatching? This is..."
"You think it's early? Yes. Over the years, the Six Ministries have always said that the war is imminent and the war is imminent, and they have set up the responsibility of conquest early. But year after year, twenty or thirty years have passed, but they always A war is imminent." Miao Yi shook his head, "This is it. Once again, it’s about to come true. You are a loyal person, and I deliberately chose you to be by my side when I arrived in Deyang, so that you can also make some achievements - in case someone mentions the things you have hidden all these years. You can also shut their mouths."
"Guardian, you...how can I be so virtuous and capable..."
"Hey, how can a good person not be rewarded?" Miao Yi waved his hand, "I'll tell you privately, this time, it may be that the Sword Sect has exhausted its abandonment. Over the years, the six departments have been investigating in Lingshan and in the human world. Want to find out where You Jiuyuan is hiding? I'm slowly getting a clue, but I'm still not close. What do you think? A few days ago, Netherworld and Lingshan were shaken. It turned out that something happened to their Sword Sect's Youjiuyuan, and some of them were traced. The elder immediately noticed and found the location."
"So now, there is no need to wait for decades."
Lou He slowly tensed up: "...What happened?"
Miao Yi narrowed his eyes, as if he thought what he was about to say was interesting: "The sect is fighting within the sect. Don't laugh at this, I find it funny too - for the past three hundred years, the Sword Sect has been referring to each other as brothers and sisters, saying that it is to avoid the sect's infighting. Whatever the outcome of the internal fight, it was because of this incident that the location of You Jiuyuan was exposed."
"Junior Brother Lou, do you want to know the extent of their internal fighting? Haha, I only told you this a few days ago. After a few days, I'm afraid the whole world will know."
"To what point?"
"Their sect leader, Jiang Jie, the Land Sword Immortal of the Yangshen Realm was killed in a fight. Hahahahaha!" Miao Yi laughed for a while, "Didn't you say before that there was Li Wu who came to Coffin City that day? Has Xiang formed a pill in Coffin City? Our news is that the leader of the Sword Sect was killed by that Li Wuxiang!"
Lou He slowly sat back on the chair, silent and dazed.
Miao Yi smiled and looked at him again: "It was almost the same as you when someone knew the news. I didn't know what to say. Fools like Jian Zong have been like children making family wine over the years. Even this kind of internal fighting The fight was a complete mess, and that Li Wu Xiang was a newly-achieved Jindan, so why did he kill Jiang Jie? I think it was Mei Qiulu who killed Jiang Jie, so Li Wuxiang was from Mei Qiulu's lineage, right? A crime, otherwise how could Mei Qiulu be the sect leader in the future? "
Lou He opened his mouth: "Miao Zhenshou, then... is Jiang Jie really dead? He is the Yang God..."
Miao Yi stopped laughing at this time, and his face became more solemn: "It's a laugh, but no matter what happened in Jianzong, we, like you, feel it is outrageous. Yangshen of Jianzong, say something If you want to blame the emperor, it is not comparable to our Hedao, then Jiang Jie is the strongest person in the world. "
"I heard that after the elders of the general altar knew about this, they spent a lot of effort to verify whether Jiang Jie was dead or not. Of course, we don't know their methods, but we only know that from the leader of our sect to the other five The leader and elders are all sure of this - Jiang Jie is not only dead, but also physically and mentally destroyed!"
Lou He clenched his fist: "Then...does it mean that this time, we will be able to uproot the Jianzong very quickly?"
Miao Yi patted the armrest of the seat and leaned back: "It should be so. We have thought so too these years. After finding the location of You Jiuyuan, the six troops came out together, and thirty-one Hedao elders joined forces , Jiang Jie must be strangled - the Sword Sect has declined terribly after the war more than 300 years ago. Get rid of him and avoid future troubles forever. "
"But this time, it was Jiang Jie who died." Miao Yi looked at him meaningfully, "After learning the news, I also heard from the dean that there will be no Hedao from our six departments to come forward, but there will be more Send some teachers who have returned to the virtual realm. As mentioned above, in fact, this battle is just the end of the battle more than 300 years ago. When Jiang Jie died, the Sword Sect was leaderless and only two Nascent Souls were left. There is no need to ask the leader and elders to take action."
"So, this time, the war may drag on for a long time - if the people of Jianzong are clear-headed and scattered in all directions, although they will eventually be wiped out, they don't know how many years or months it will be delayed. Alas, for the people above, this is a sure win. But for us, it’s hard.”
"Could Jiang Jie fake his death?" Lou He asked.
Miao Yi was stunned: "Fake death?"
"It's just to make us think that within the Sword Sect, Mei Qiulu or Cui Daocheng have any means to completely kill a Yang Shen, so that our Hedao will not dare to come forward?"
Miao Yi looked at Lou He seriously - his face was solemn at this time, and his tone was also very solemn, even to the point of being slightly harsh.
However, he didn't take it seriously and smiled: "I would say that you are a loyal person who considers major issues in this sect and dares to speak out even like this. Haha, you and I are in love, and I won't shy away from you - - We have also guessed this in private. The elders who wanted to join the Tao were frightened by Jian Zong's few words. After further investigation, Jiang Jie's body and soul were completely destroyed, and they were even more frightened. "
"But if you think about it more carefully, isn't this a stupid move? He faked his death, and the remaining swordsmen know that they can't resist, so they will abandon You Jiuyuan and run around. Why is this necessary? He can just take the swordsmen and run around too. To put it bluntly, if these people are not in one place outside the boundaries of the parish, what can the Hedao elders do to him, a guerrilla land swordsman? Therefore, the elders must be really afraid. Yes, but not fake death.”
Miao Yi patted the booklet on his lap and looked at Lou He: "Junior brother, what's this? Things are really unpredictable. You said that a few decades ago you were on the verge of reaching the level of god. If there hadn't been a disaster, you would have He is such a talented person, but he may be useless now."
"But if you are really weak, maybe you will be part of this war this time. We guess that Mei Qiulu or Cui Daocheng have some powerful magic weapon to kill the Yangshen Sword Immortal. The Hedao people above think It is expected that it will not be easy to practice cultivation when I am about to ascend, so I asked the elders who are still empty to try to fill it with their lives. They are sitting in the back, which is really safe... Oh, it's hard to say, it's hard to say. "
Lou He moved his body: "Then, to guard you, when will we go to Deyang?"
"I'll leave in a few days. Go to Deyang first and see. All the chaotic people around Deyang need to be gathered up. This matter will be done by the Anmin Mansion in the three cities near you. Then, there are two sects near Deyang, right? Tianxin Sect and Louguang Sect?" Miao Yi smiled, "Why is it that Jiang Jie is not faking his death? There is also this point - we ignored the Thirty-six Sect in the past because Jiang Jie is dead now. , the thirty-six sects will be free."
"The people I brought, plus people selected from several nearby cities - go and have a look at them. To deal with the scattered swordsmen, it is best to fight step by step and steadily, so that they can slowly have nowhere to escape. Once you start, Mountains, changing the atmosphere , we must also take care of the thirty-six sects who are sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger. Those who understand the current affairs and submit to the six tribes can temporarily help the sect manage the nearby land and people. Uprooted."
Lou He breathed out: "Yes."
Miao Yi smiled: "Follow me, don't worry. According to the saying in the Ye Dynasty, we are just important officials of food, grass, and supplies, so you don't have to worry about not having any merit - Master Dongyue still has orders. Since Jian Zong said it was Li Wuxiang who harmed If Jiang Jie is taken away, no matter what happens, we will take him down."
"It's really what he did. If he has any powerful treasure in his hand, it would be best if he could submit to my religion. But if he really takes the blame for his master Mei Qiulu, then with this kind of character, when Mei Qiulu secures his position as the leader , he will become famous all over the world soon. Then we must eradicate him as soon as possible, and we can't let him become a problem. This time, we will investigate the matter first, find out his whereabouts, and then report it to the elders of Huaxu. "
