Tianfu Mountain is located at the junction of the central and western parts of the Lu State, on the northern east bank of the Lujiang River, deep among the mountains.
Half of the year, the mountains and mountains are shrouded in mist, making it feel like a fairyland. All kinds of exotic flowers and plants bloom in the mountains, and apes and squirrels play outside the streams. Whenever someone passes by here and looks at the beautiful scenery, they think they have arrived in heaven and on earth.
Therefore, it is called "Tianfu Mountain".
This mountain has beautiful bells and souls, created by heavenly treasures. There is a middle-grade spiritual vein buried deep underneath, and the concentration of spiritual energy radiates for dozens of miles around. It can be called a blessed place for cultivating immortals.
The Dai family once controlled it for hundreds of years, and discovered a refined iron ore and copper mine nearby.
As for the post-war enfeoffment of the Lin Chamber of Commerce, the Yang family, out of various considerations, packaged Lingshan and the two surrounding small mineral veins directly to them, so as not to give it to others at their doorstep, and who would be disturbed.
Not even comfortable.
Lin Shan and others arrived in less than a day after traveling thousands of miles by flying boat.
When they arrived, they discovered that all the Dai family monks originally stationed here had fled and swept away all their belongings, leaving an empty mountain for them. Lin Shan felt nothing about this.
This time they grabbed enough things at Dai's headquarters. Everyone's storage bags were bulging. It was no exaggeration to say that they were full of food, and they didn't care about this small amount of money.
Immediately, everyone followed the instructions, took out a lot of spiritual materials, and began to build infrastructure in the mountain.
Among the group of students recruited by the Lin Chamber of Commerce in Wangyue City, there was actually a civil engineering dog who graduated from the academy. For the first time, he discovered that the major he studied was put to use outside. He measured and laid out lines one by one, drove piles and dug holes, and he worked very well.
There is a model.
Mu Yan took a group of Mu family members and returned to Pengbi County for the time being to transfer the property of a group of old and young people from the Mu family. As for the family's original micro-spiritual vein, he found a suitable buyer to transfer it.
The demonic boys from the East China Sea were sent to two mines outside the mountain to restart the mining business after the Dai family left.
Of course, these people are all his direct descendants, and they cannot keep doing such dirty and tiring work, so opening the gate to recruit disciples must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Therefore, it is urgent to establish a sect.
Half a month later, Tianfu Mountain took on a completely new look.
Grand halls have been erected on the top of the mountain, as well as various planned dojos, altars, ancestral halls, Dharma transmission pavilions, lecture halls and other infrastructure.
An empty shell was erected in the treasure house, while the Sutra Pavilion contained many codes stolen from the Dai family. The alchemy room also contained alchemy furnaces stolen from the Dai family, and the weapon refining workshop also contained assembly lines and weapons stolen from the Dai family.
tool...
The Black Skeleton Demon King himself is a master of formations. He placed inscription restrictions on all buildings, and at the same time, he simply established a large formation on the outskirts of Lingshan Mountain and two mineral veins.
The training caves on the mountainside were opened by the subordinates themselves, and the spiritual fields and orchards at the foot of the mountain were also simply built.
…
In the main hall, hundreds of people gathered here to discuss the matter of establishing a sect.
As for the name of the newly established sect, Lin Shan had already thought of it, so there was no need for collective efforts.
"Xungujiao".
No one had any objections to this. After all, Lin Shan was the boss, and we all followed him to eat meat and drink soup. We would listen to whatever the boss said.
Lin Shan did not choose the name randomly, it is full of his original intention and deep meaning.
The original idea of ​​establishing a power was to find ancient charm for myself, so there was nothing wrong with the term "Xungu". Of course, internally, it was to ask his subordinates to help him "find antiques", and externally, it was said to be "pursuing the path of ancient sages."
meaning.
It's quite satisfactory.
As for why it is not called "Xun Gu Sect", "Xun Gu Sect", "Xun Gu Sect" or the like, the suffix should be "Jiao".
That was because Lin Shan had an ambition in his heart and wanted to become bigger and stronger.
Of course, the "becoming bigger and stronger" here is definitely not for the sake of MLM brainwashing, but because the suffix is ​​also very particular.
"Teaching" represents an idea and the conceptual power of a master.
"Sect", "Sect", "Zong", "Mansion", "Dong"... these are, strictly speaking, just branches one level below "teaching".
For example, Taoism is the mainstream immortality sect in all the worlds. Other Buddhism, demon religion, shamanism, Confucianism, astrology, various evil cults, etc. are all branches of the immortal civilization system.
Zixiao Sect and Qianyun Pavilion in the Song Dynasty all belong to Taoism, Royal Beast Valley belongs to half Taoism and half shamanism, Black Lotus Sect belongs to half demon sect and half evil sect, Blood River Palace and Baigui Gate all belong to demon sect, but temporarily
It's just divided into two camps: good and evil.
Lin Shan's establishment of a new religion in the Confucian country of Lu would not cause any disturbance. As long as you don't engage in doctrinal beliefs like Buddhism, the Black Lotus Sect, and the Huanxi Sect, you can name it whatever you want, and everyone will treat it as something to talk about after tea.
, just laugh it off.
Essentially, you are still a small sect, far from the size of a "teaching", and there is nothing to be afraid of.
After the naming is established, it is time to establish the clan.
When establishing a sect, it is natural to invite colleagues. Firstly, it is to rectify the name, and secondly, it is to spread the reputation so as to facilitate the recruitment of disciples in the future.
At this grand ceremony for the founding of the "Xungu Sect", basically one-third of the forces in the western part of the Lu Kingdom came to congratulate.
Mainly in the Lujiang River Basin, the Lujiang League is now the dominant one, with seventy-two forces gathered together. The Xungu Sect has replaced the original Lin Chamber of Commerce and inherited the elders' seats in the league. Everyone gives it face.
Other forces had heard about Elder Heiku's attainment as a "formation master" through the battle for Dai, so they came to pay homage to him, trying to take the opportunity to build relationships and build friendships.
The sect establishment ceremony lasted for nearly seven days. The sect leaders and elders of various sects and sects came to watch the ceremony with their disciples. During this period, the flowing water mat was not interrupted.
The predecessor of Lin's Chamber of Commerce was also engaged in seafood production. Not to mention other ingredients, seafood is definitely enough.
While drinking and drinking, everyone was polite to each other, flattered and flattered each other, and enjoyed themselves as a family.
The Yang family, the overlord of the Lujiang League, was so generous that they specially sent an elder from the Golden Core Stage and prepared generous gifts. They said that the Yang family would establish in-depth cooperation with the Xun Gu Sect and provide resources for mining veins and processing and refining.
technology.
The Yang family is also a mining giant in the cultivation world, and they are willing to bring Xun Gujiao to eat meat with them. Lin Shan and Black Skull Demon Lord happily accepted.
The four ancestors of the four major families in Wangyue City also came together and expressed their willingness to vigorously support the Lin Chamber of Commerce under the Xun Gu Sect. They gave them the green light in Wangyue City. Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord expressed their gratitude.
Lingyun Sect, Xianhe Sect, Zhaoshenbao, Liuyang Sect and other four sects in Lunan, as well as the four golden elixir period masters, also came to visit. While offering generous gifts, they were willing to help each other with the Xungu Sect and often held offline discipleship meetings.
During the exchange meeting, Lin Shan and the Black Skeleton Demon Lord also treated each other politely.
These four sects are all enthusiastic on the surface, but in fact they are extremely jealous. Xun Gu Sect is just a new sect, and they directly obtained a middle-grade spiritual vein blessed land like Tianfu Mountain. You must know that their own sects are still only small spiritual mountains.
However, based on the "formation attainments" demonstrated by Demon Lord Heiku before and the support of the behemoth Lujiang League, the Xun Gu Sect can barely hold on.
There are also other large and small forces worshiping the mountain, and some of them have Jindan Zhenren sitting behind them, but they are not as familiar with the Lujiang Alliance allies, so they just sent their foundation-building monks to show their support.
It is worth mentioning that Master Zhankong, a well-known formation master in the Lujiang River Basin, also personally came with his disciples and said that he would help the Xun Gu Sect build a mountain-protecting formation. Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord repeatedly resisted, but this old boy
He insisted that he would not charge any fees.
It is rare to encounter a free labor force, and you have a good idea not to hit the smiling person, so the two have no choice but to accept their kindness.
After everyone has arrived, the ceremony will be held accordingly.
Lin Shan took office as the first leader of the Xun Gu Sect, and the Black Skull Demon Lord was the elder and deputy leader. Several halls were divided below, and several potential subordinates temporarily took the position of "acting hall leader", waiting for them to break through and build the foundation in the future.
Okay, then give them a clear name.
Everyone was doing their own thing. Although the guests who came to watch the ceremony were a little surprised as to why the leader was not a Heikusan but a young man like Lin Shan, this was an internal matter and it was not inconvenient for outsiders to ask questions.
After the initiation ceremony, all forces left the scene.
Before leaving, Master Jindan of the Yang family deliberately stayed and conspired with the two leaders of the Xun Gu Sect to leave for half an hour.
Next, the ancestors of the four major families in Wangyue City also stayed and conspired with the two leaders to leave for half an hour.
Then, the leader of Lingyun Sect stayed alone, talked secretly for half an hour, and left...
The master of Xianhe Sect...
...
Each of these people wants to win over the Xun Gu Sect. It is simply because of the delicate situation within the alliance.
Since the Lujiang League destroyed the Dai family, it has become more powerful and famous.
But in fact, this is just the surface. In fact, there is an undercurrent surging inside, because the Yang family can no longer dominate alone.
The previous loss of two Jindan Daoists in a row greatly damaged the vitality of the Yang family. If the ancestors of the Yang family in the late Jindan period were not still there, they might have fallen from their status as cultivation giants.
Now, the strength of the Yang family has declined, but the annexation of the Dai family has caused the power to increase. When the strength is not enough to control the power resources, it will feel empty and hollow, giving other people in the alliance an opportunity to take advantage of.
The real person of the Yang family had done well with the profit distribution before, and this time he was seeking an alliance because he was interested in the Black Skeleton Demon Lord's strength and formation skills.
The four major families in Wangyue City and the four sects in Lunan also want to unite to fight for power.
However, both Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord only dealt with it temporarily. On the surface, they all responded enthusiastically, but in fact, they were not interested in it.
Lin Shan needs to prepare to break through the golden elixir stage and the soul elixir stage, and the Black Skeleton Demon Lord also needs to prepare to refine the natal magic weapon. These can only be left to the future.
…
After sending off all the congratulators, the Xun Gu Sect was officially launched, recruiting disciples, and announcing it to the world.
Many people in the western region of Lu State were inspired by the news and tried to come here to have a chance at immortality.
The Xun Gu Sect is a sect with golden elixir stage monks and mid-level spiritual veins. Now that the sect has just been established, it is time to recruit new members. The majority of casual cultivators in the world of cultivation are eager to get started.
In less than a month, thousands of people have gathered around Tianfu Mountain!
One-fifth of them are casual cultivators, and most of the rest are mortal dignitaries. I heard that the Immortal Sect was recruiting disciples here, so I hurriedly sent my children here to try it out.
On the Lujiang River in the west, boats of various sizes are connected in front and back, crowding the river here.
Tents were erected on the north, south, south, and east sides, and people were coming and going in eager anticipation.
There is a steady stream of people from the outside world on their way here.
Lin Shan and Black Skull Demon Lord did not expect that they would attract so many people at once, so they had no choice but to raise the income threshold.
He personally designated Lu Xiuming, the former veteran of the Lin Chamber of Commerce, as the main person in charge, and Wu Hanqiao as his deputy. He strictly controlled the recruitment of disciples, requiring that they must be upright and Miaohong and have up to standard qualifications.
If you are a casual cultivator, you must be an outstanding student endorsed by one of the top ten academies in the state of Lu.
If you are a mortal, one of your spiritual root qualifications must be above level C.
These two conditions directly wiped out 90% of the people. Most people returned disappointed, secretly sighing that they had missed the opportunity. Some people blamed their parents for not giving them good spiritual roots, and some people regretted that they had not had good spiritual roots.
Study well and get into a good university.
The various expressions of the crowd did not cause the slightest disturbance to immortal cultivators like Lin Shan and Black Skull Demon Lord.
In the end, I picked and accepted about a hundred people, and finally enriched the mountain gate.
This is already pretty good.
After all, most of the truly qualified and capable monks must have been recruited by other sects and aristocratic families, and the rest are all above average, otherwise it would not be the Xun Gu Sect's turn to pick up the slack.
Especially for geniuses with second-class spiritual roots and above, apart from Mu Yan and Wu Hanqiao, who were originally his subordinates, there was no one else!
Lin Shan also expected this. Anyway, he established the Xungu Sect in order to collect ancient charms for himself. He could just be a hands-off shopkeeper and leave the management of the sect to the Black Skull Demon Lord and his subordinates. He only wanted to seek immortality.
But talking about Gu Yun, he couldn't help but glance at Master Zhankong who was busy arranging formations at the foot of the mountain outside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This old guy took his disciples and grandchildren and worked hard and hard in Tianfu Mountain for nearly a month. His diligent and conscientious energy even made him run his own lair.
I have never worked so hard!
Lin Shan sat on the leader's throne in the main hall, thought for a while, and ordered someone to invite Master Zhankong.
After a while, Master Zhankong walked up to the main hall out of breath.
"I've met Master Lin. I still have a few days to complete the mountain protection formation. What's the important thing for you to call me over now?"
Master Zhankong stood before His Highness and bowed slightly. If the ancestors of the four great families in Wangyue City saw this posture, their jaws would definitely drop in shock.
The dignified formation master is neither condescending nor condescending to the Golden Core monks, so why is he so respectful to the leader of a new sect in the Foundation Establishment phase?
Lin Shan was not arrogant, but quickly stood up and left his seat, invited Master Zhankong to sit next to him, and after exchanging pleasantries, he got down to business.
"There is no rush to protect the mountain formation. Xun Gu Sect is the first to start, and it has not provoked any enemies. I think it will be safe, and you don't have to rush the construction period."
Master Zhankong's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum: "Master Lin is so polite. When I was attacking the Dai family that day, I always accepted your kindness. It is right to do some small things, and it is right..."
Lin Shan touched his palms and sighed repeatedly: "Master is really a gentleman, but a small drop of kindness is repaid by a spring today. Compared with Lin, it is really shameful!"
Master Zhankong waved his hand quickly: "No matter what, Master Lin is willing to help others, magnanimous and open-minded. He doesn't care about my rude behavior that day. He is worthy of being the leader of a sect. His magnanimity and magnanimity are impressive."
Lin Shan smiled modestly: "Hey~ Master is the real one with extraordinary self-cultivation. He was just a hitchhiker that day, so he tied a knot with grass and reciprocated a favor. Lin was very uneasy!"
Master Zhankong quickly explained: "No, no, no, this is what it should be. I also want to form a good relationship with the Xun Gu Sect. After all, when we first met, I felt that Master Lin had great ambitions and could swallow thousands of miles like a tiger. Now he is nothing but
In just one month, Tianfu Mountain has been established, and it is well-known in the Lujiang area in western Shandong Province. It is true that heroes come from young... and young people come from them!"
…
The two exchanged business boasts, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became. They wanted to hold a candle and talk in detail.
After all, it was Master Zhankong who wanted to ask for help from others, but he never took the initiative. After his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry, he had no choice but to explain the origin, with a look of astonishment on his face:
"This time of worshiping the mountain, I thought I couldn't hide it from the eyes of Master Lin. In fact, there is another reason, but it's hard to tell..."
Lin Shan waved his sleeves calmly: "Then there's no need to say anything more, let's continue the topic just now."
Master Zhankong: "..."
"Ahem, Master Lin is joking. Ever since I saw Elder Heiku breaking the formation that day, I have always been yearning for him, but I have no chance to talk deeply, so I often worry about it and can't sleep..."
Lin Shan secretly curled his lips, he is already a monk in the foundation stage, I have never heard of anyone who is still sleeping, are you lying?
But on the surface, he is still listening.
Master Zhankong laughed a few times: "The formation is profound and profound, and it is extremely difficult to go further. Without the support of seniors, I am afraid that my life will be wasted, and I can only stop moving forward."
"I am getting old, and my wish in this life is to make a breakthrough in the formation. Therefore, I can only try my best to be able to get into the eyes of the leader."
"If you can say a few kind words in front of Elder Hei Ku, I... I... would be very grateful!"
As he spoke, the old man burst into tears and choked with sobs!
Lin Shan was embarrassed and uneasy, so he quickly comforted:
"Master, what are you talking about? If you have any demands, just tell me directly. Why bother yourself? People who don't know think that I have used you like an ox and a horse in the past month. This, this, you are clearly trapped.
I am in a place of injustice!"
Master Zhankong was sobbing on the surface, but he was secretly scolding this boy for being naughty. He kept silent about the things he said in his favor. Instead, he began to talk nonsense, so he had no choice but to tell his true thoughts:
"It's because I didn't think well that I caused the leader to worry about me. In fact, coming here to help build the mountain-protecting formation is just a sign of honor. I am old and incapable of talent. I am willing to join the Xungu Sect and work hard for the leader to encourage me. I hope to take him in!"
Unexpectedly, a formation master took the initiative to throw. Instead of being excited, Lin Shan was hesitant.
"How can you condescend to work under me, with your status as a master? It's really embarrassing for me! You must not do this!"
Master Zhankong was stunned. It was the first time he saw someone pushing him out of the door!
I had no choice but to degrade myself again.
"Master Lin is too polite. I am just a commoner. How dare I show any respect? I just want to be a disciple of Elder Hei Ku and listen to his teachings sooner or later..."
Lin Shan still didn't let go: "How could this happen?! Elder Heiku is just a formation master, how can he be qualified to teach you?"
Master Zhankong was so depressed that it was really hard to talk to this guy, but he could only endure it if he asked for help:
"The leader is so ridiculous. Compared with Elder Heiku's formation skills, the old man's skills are like those of Yinghuo and Haoyue. They are completely worthless! Just accept me!"
Master Zhankong almost knelt down!
I am a master of formations, and I take the initiative to come to the door to throw, and you still push back and block me. Is there something wrong with your head?
Lin Shan looked embarrassed at this time and quickly came down to support the old man:
"Master, this is too unfair. If you join our sect, how can you be an ordinary disciple? How do you want the world to see me?"
Master Zhankong hurriedly offered advice: "How dare you, I want to take...the seat of the hall master first?"
Lin Shan shook his head.
Master Zhankong had an apologetic smile on his face: "It's okay to give him the helmsman position, I won't choose..."
Lin Shan still shook his head.
Master Zhankong felt a little manic: "Then... give me the status of a deacon, I can accept it..."
Lin Shan still shook his head.
Master Zhankong's evil fire rushed straight through, and his heart felt like a fire. He felt that it was so damn hard to talk to this guy:
"Then...how about I still become a disciple...?"
Lin Shan suddenly turned around and continued to die without saying anything shocking!
"No, I will give up the position of leader to you!"
"Plop!"
Master Zhankong was so frightened that he knelt down!
"Master Lin, you must not do it. I sincerely surrender to you and have absolutely no intention of occupying the magpie's nest!"
Lin Shan's face showed sincerity: "Lin has been thinking about it for a long time, how can the small sect in Xungu diocese be able to prosper with a figure like Master Xia? The position of the leader is really an insult to you, I will also be deprived of the cultivation world of Lu country."
Everyone was behind their backs, poking their spines and cursing.
In this case, why not simply abdicate the throne and give up the throne of the leader, so that you can be worthy of your status as an elder!"
Master Zhankong burst into tears, hugged Lin Shan's trouser legs and cried loudly:
"Master Lin is upright and upright. He is really an upright gentleman. How can he usurp the throne and take over the throne if he is too old to do anything? Now I worship the mountain just for a place to make a living. Don't be suspicious!"
Lin Shan looked upright: "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. The master is the most respected person in my life. Once he joins our religion, he will never be condescending. Lin would rather die than obey!"
Master Zhankong felt that he was out of breath. As people get older, they are prone to heart attacks and cerebral infarctions. He was afraid that if he continued like this, he would be so angry that he would die suddenly, so he had no choice but to point it out directly:
"Please tell me clearly how Master Lin is willing to take me in!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Shan did not talk in circles with him this time, but simply opened the skylight and spoke frankly:
"I am very interested in the power of the incense in the master's hand. I wonder if I can part with it?"
