Chapter 223: Qing Xuan Patriarch returns from sword refining
The bald eagle spreads its wings and soars over the majestic mountains of North America. From time to time, it whistles low, and the sound cuts through the sky, setting off the increasing loneliness of this desolate and primitive land.
Under a cliff in a long mountain is a waterfall that keeps pouring down. The waterfall is dozens of feet high, and the roaring sound lasts for miles. The thick and wet mist also makes the entire mountain top more and more beautiful.
In the river below the waterfall, an icicle stood still, exuding a trace of white air. On top of the icicle sat three jade-like figures carved from ice. It was Lin Qingxuan, Li Mochou, and Xiaolong who devoted themselves to cultivation.
female.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qingxuan suddenly opened his eyes, then smiled and said: "Mo Chou, Long'er, wake up."
Suddenly three rays of sword light broke through the water downstream of the river, and flew to the side of the two women with a humming sound. When the sword light dispersed, it was revealed to be the Jiuzhen Sword and the Gentleman and Lady Sword.
Li Mochou and Xiao Longnu opened their eyes when the sword light dissipated, and each looked at Lin Qingxuan happily.
"The foundation of Excalibur is complete, the next step is just to work hard and slowly."
Although Lin Qingxuan was also tempering the Yin God, he had been paying attention to the cultivation of the two girls. He smiled and said: "You can start tempering the Yin God in another ten years at most."
At this time, Li Mochou and Xiao Longnu have completed the training of the accompanying magic weapon that unites the sword and god, and the Yin Shen has also grown to the extreme. The next step is to slowly strengthen the Yin Shen through hard work, and can be tempered when there is no further progress.
So gloomy.
Li Mochou reached out to pick up the Jiuzhen Sword suspended in mid-air and put it back into the scabbard, and asked: "When is it? Is the second battle between the Mingjiao and the seven major sects of the Central Plains approaching?"
Lin Qingxuan smiled and nodded, saying: "Midsummer has passed and it's almost early autumn. It's time for us to go back to China and have a look."
Xiao Longnu thought of Yuan Mao and the Zhongyuan Wulin, whom Brother Lin had high hopes for, and whispered: "Now that the Immortal Way is in the ascendant, we cannot allow internal fighting to cause losses. If the Zhongyuan Wulin collapses or Yuan Mao is injured, Brother Zhou and Brother Lin
Hundreds of years of hard work will be destroyed in one day."
Li Mochou has a clear mind. After hearing these words, she knew that her junior sister was just like herself and could understand Lin Lang's thoughts best. She and Xiao Longnu were practicing together on the Divine Sword this time, and their telepathic connection was even deeper. In the past, they were sometimes jealous and repulsive.
At this time, his psychology was almost gone, and he smiled and said: "Yes, our Lin Lang is looking forward to the great prosperity of the immortal stream he created and the way of cultivating immortals to bloom. I can't help him. Junior sister, you are more enlightened than me.
He is good and young, so he should be a good student and help Lin Lang."
Xiao Longnu's eyes were filled with joy when she heard this, knowing that her senior sister was hinting to her that she had gotten rid of her attachments and was willing to let her become a Taoist couple with the two of them.
"Whatever the senior sister orders, little sister will naturally obey. In fact, I have been practicing with Brother Lin and you for hundreds of years, and there is no longer any barrier between us in my heart."
Li Mochou smiled and said: "That's true, Lin Lang. You must treat Long Er the same way you treat me in the future."
Lin Qingxuan twirled his beard and groaned, thinking about it in his mind for a moment. When he saw Li Mochou's eyes were sincere and firm, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is natural. We have cultivated for 150 or 60 years.
How can mundane things still linger in your heart? It’s a long road to cultivation, and it’s really rare to find a partner..."
When Xiao Longnu and Li Mochou heard this, they remembered the time they spent practicing with Lin Qingxuan for more than a hundred years. They were grateful for Lin Qingxuan's meticulous care and unreserved teachings. They sighed in their hearts and couldn't help but cuddle up next to Lin Qingxuan at the same time.
The left one put his cheek against Lin Qingxuan's left and right shoulders.
Smelling the green grass on Lin Qingxuan's body mixed with the faint fragrance of mountain apples, both women were quite satisfied.
Lin Qingxuan opened his arms and hugged the two girls. After a moment of tenderness, he smiled and said, "How can a husband ask for a wife like this?"
After an hour, the three of them stood up and jumped into the air, then flew towards the southwest.
Because the three of them are in North America, more than 50,000 miles away from the Central Plains. Although the three of them are rare land immortals in the world, they can only travel four to five thousand miles in a day by riding the wind. Therefore, the three of them stop and go.
, it took more than ten days to reach the sky above Peach Blossom Island.
Li Mochou counted the time, frowned and said: "The day before yesterday was already the second sword fight, Lin Lang, I'm afraid that by the time we arrive, the Songshan Battle will have already gone to such an extent that we don't know how far it went."
Lin Qingxuan smiled and said: "Don't be impatient. In the first sword debate at Mount Huashan, the five great masters competed for seven days and seven nights before deciding who was the best in the world. This time, the Mingjiao and the seven major sects of the Central Plains fought for the second time. Yuan Mao was trained by us personally.
You little beast, you and I know his abilities very well. I am afraid that except for Zhang Sanfeng himself, no one among the seven major sects can be his opponent. When the time comes, it will be another fierce battle, and no one can win or lose in ten or eight days.
when."
Li Mochou nodded and said, "In that case, just hurry up and hurry."
As they spoke, the three of them had already swept across Peach Blossom Island with their spiritual thoughts. They saw that although Yang Ding had created the Immortal Foundation, he was unable to gather his spiritual thoughts. He saw that his beard and hair were white and his vitality was declining. It was obvious that he was approaching the end of his life.
Lin Qingxuan sighed softly and said: "Ding'er's intellectual qualifications have never been inferior to Ming'er's, and his family background is even more extraordinary. If he hadn't been deeply involved in the love between men and women, indulged in female lust, and wasted his cultivation, his Taoist heart would not have been sharpened.
, I’m afraid his current cultivation level won’t be much worse than Zhang Sanfeng’s, it’s a pity, it’s a pity…”
Li Mochou suddenly remembered her thoughts when she was young, shook her head slightly and said, "How many geniuses with outstanding talents and promising futures have been ruined by love affairs? Alas, the word love is fundamental to human beings, and they don't understand its meaning.
, it is difficult to achieve great things, if you get lost in it, you will never lose the true way..."
Xiao Longnu said calmly: "Yang Ding has had the secret of magical skills at his fingertips since he was a child. Naturally, he doesn't think it is a rare treasure. However, because of the incident involving Guo Fu, Guo Xiang, and Yang Ming, he followed Guo Jing and Huang Rong to live at a young age. It was rare for his parents to accompany him, and what he wanted most in his heart was probably
Someone must love him, so he became obsessed with love affairs and found dozens of beautiful wives and concubines...
Alas, everything in the world is always unsatisfactory. In the summer, I look forward to the ice and jade in the winter, but in the middle of the day, I look forward to hearing the cicadas chirping and the crickets chirping. Who can have no regrets and not get something without asking for it? That’s it.
Can we immortals be able to have everything we want and have no worries?"
When the three of them were talking, they had already crossed Peach Blossom Island and arrived at the Zhoushan Islands. Originally, Lin Qingxuan remembered that Li Mochou had eaten some delicacies with him in Zhoushan before, and wanted to take the two girls down to eat some mussels and yam soup, but Xiao Longnu
As soon as these words came out, the three of them fell into deep thought. They passed by Zhoushan in silence for a while and turned to the northwest.
By the time the three of them flew over Kaifeng, it was already noon and the sun was scorching. Lin Qingxuan was about to use some water mist to block the heads of the two girls when he suddenly let out a light sigh and felt two people coming from a manor outside Bianliang City.
This is a very familiar spiritual thought. Although the divine thought is immature, it is a direct descendant of Quanzhen, and he practices the Xuantian Sword Classic.
Li Mochou smiled and said: "It's Fang Sheng and Huang Ying'er. Huang Ying'er has been taught by us carefully. In the past thirty years, Huang Ying'er has built the foundation of immortality. It's not unexpected that she embarked on the path of immortality. However, Fang Sheng's understanding is not as good as Huang Yinger's, but he can actually do it.
Gathering your spiritual thoughts and embarking on the path of immortality, it can be seen that Lin Lang, you and he helped you a lot when you took over the body..."
Lin Qingxuan smiled and said nothing. With a glance of their spiritual thoughts, the three of them had already seen that there was a manor with blue tiles and white walls in a village under the clouds. At this time, the entire village was equipped with a mourning hall, and there were more than ten people on the altar table.
The one in the center of the tablet is Fang Sheng’s grandfather, Fang Ping.
In front of the altar table were Fang Sheng and Yang Zhuorun, dressed in white. When Fang Ping's family was killed by Xie Xun, only Fang Sheng escaped. Later, the family's funeral was organized by fellow villagers and disciples of the Emei sect. Fang Sheng killed Xie Xun at this time.
The great revenge was avenged, so the mourning hall was reopened to pay homage to my grandfather, my father's spirit in heaven.
Lin Qingxuan and the others had already flown dozens of miles away when they suddenly heard Fang Sheng and Yang Zhuorun talking about what they had seen in Songshan Mountain three days ago. Only then did they realize that Fang Sheng's arrangement of the mourning hall was not to worship ancestors, but to kill the heroic spirit of his enemy Xie Xun to comfort his relatives.
.
Lin Qingxuan flew down with a thought, and Li Mochou and Xiao Longnu followed closely behind.
Fang Sheng and Yang Zhuorun were sitting in the mourning hall. Suddenly they raised their heads at the same time and felt something in their hearts.
"Are they Grandmaster Qingxuan and Grandma Chilian?" Fang Sheng turned to look at Yang Zhuorun.
Yang Zhuorun was most familiar with the two elders. He stood up in surprise and said: "It's Grandpa and Grandma!"
A gust of breeze blew the curtains, and three people suddenly appeared in the mourning hall. The one in the middle was a long-bearded Taoist wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe. Next to him were a female crown and a woman in white. The three of them were handsome and elegant, with eyes as bright as stars.
He looked at the two of them with a smile.
Fang Sheng and Yang Zhuorun came forward and kowtowed. After saluting Lin Qingxuan and Li Mochou, they kowtowed to Xiao Longnu without hesitation and said, "My grandson pays homage to the ancestor, Grandma Long."
Yang Zhuorun followed Lin Qingxuan and Li Mochou for more than a year when he was young. Although he never met Zhou Botong and Xiao Longnu, he heard from the two ancestors that there was another ancestor Zhou and Grandma Long. At this time, he saw Xiao Longnu, who was pure and pure.
, so beautiful that I knew it must be Grandma Long, Grandma Mochou’s younger sister.
A burst of gentle force lifted the two of them up. Lin Qingxuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Sheng'er and Huang Ying'er, you are quite good. My training is not in vain. As long as you practice hard, you will definitely be able to master the Xuantian Sword Sutra before you are a hundred years old.
I have become a Yin Shen."
Fang Sheng and Yang Zhuorun bowed in surprise, and kept thanking and complimenting Lin Qingxuan and Li Mochou.
Although Lin Qingxuan felt comfortable listening, he did not forget about business and asked in a low voice the details of the Songshan War.
Fang Sheng killed Xie Xun and left. He didn't know about the subsequent battle between Yuan Mao and Shaolin Xin Chan Hall's Jiulao Vajra Demon Subduing Formation. However, he had also measured the number of masters on the surface of the Ming Cult and the Seven Major Sects, and knew that both sides
It must be a tough battle, but the Mingjiao is still much weaker than the seven major sects. In all likelihood, the Mingjiao will be defeated and the orthodox religion will flourish.
After all, the only masters of the Ming sect who have set foot in Xianliu are the leader Fan Yao and the deputy leader Yuan Mao. Among the seven major sects, although there are only the old monk Du'e and the abbot Kong Jian of the Shaolin Temple, the old monk Du'e has a solid spiritual mind and is stronger than the two of the Ming sect.
It is much more powerful, plus the nine old monks who have begun to explore and condense their spiritual thoughts and the masters and seniors such as the Seven Heroes of Zhongnan, whether they are top masters or martial sage masters, the Mingjiao is far inferior to the seven major sects.
Unless another master of Senryu appears in Mingjiao, they will never be able to overwhelm the seven major sects.
It was precisely because Fang Sheng saw that the strength of the Mingjiao was far inferior to that of the seven major sects that he left decisively for the sake of his disciple Yang Wuji. If the strength of the Mingjiao was better than that of the seven major sects, Fang Sheng and Yang Zhuorun would fight against the Quanzhen Sect and Taohua Island.
Disciples with deep connections with the Emei Sect will definitely be left to assist the Emei Sect, Qingniu Palace, and Zhongnan Sect.
After Lin Qingxuan learned that Xie Xun and Cheng Kun died at the same time, he knew that the mastermind behind the dispute between the two factions was gone. As long as this war can be handled well, it is very possible for the martial arts to return to peace.
Thinking that after Yang Dingtian died, he would be reincarnated and join the Ming Cult again. Fan Yao and Yang Dingtian were very ambitious. They would definitely have plans for this second war. Among the seven major sects, Zhang Sanfeng was 90% affected by Hou Qinghua's favor.
If he won't take action, the outcome of this second battle may not be clear.
"Sheng'er, Huang Ying'er, that Yuan Mao is not an outsider. He is a white ape who has followed us in the secret realm of Kunlun for hundreds of years. He turned into a human form when he was building the foundation of the immortal path. He didn't expect to take advantage of us to go to Beihai to practice.
Jianshi sneaked out and actually stirred up two battles between good and evil. We intend to go to Songshan Mountain to watch the battle and try to eliminate the disputes and hatred. Are you willing to accompany us?"
As Lin Qingxuan spoke, his eyes flickered at Fang Sheng and Yang Zhuorun.
The two of them suddenly realized and were amazed. Yang Zhuorun clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "There are really demons and immortals in the world. The seven major sects can build foundations and cultivate immortals thanks to your Huashan teachings back then. Now all the methods have returned to the sect, and the world's martial arts
Which big sect is not your old man’s disciple?
I didn’t expect that Yuan Mao is so powerful that he is also the spiritual beast raised by you. Since we are not outsiders, we naturally can’t fight against each other and lose our harmony. Naturally, the two of us have to accompany him and serve him.”
Fang Sheng also nodded and said: "Zhuo Nao has been thinking about you two every year for the past few decades. She just knows that you are practicing in the immortal world. She wants to see you but she is not allowed to do so. Today she finally managed to thank Brother Yuan Maang for her blessing."
We have seen the Immortal Patriarch come down to earth again, so we can have a good time serving you three, taking care of your trivial matters and serving you in front of you just like Zhuo Nao did back then."
Li Mochou also recalled that more than 30 years ago, she had begged Yang Zhuorun from Peach Blossom Island to serve her with her. She originally wanted to relieve her worries, but in the end, after more than a year, she got married to Fang Sheng and became a good person. She couldn't help but smile.
He said: "That's right, you were asked to pick the flowers and bones from the fairy world that we cultivated in the past. It's because Haosheng served us and fulfilled his filial piety."
Fang Sheng and Yang Zhuorun agreed with a smile, and then the couple excused themselves and left, changed into regular clothes, took out their swords, and followed Lin Qingxuan, Li Mochou, and Xiao Longnu into the air, heading towards the Songshan Shaolin Temple three hundred miles away.
.
Because Fang Sheng and Yang Zhuorun could only travel eight hundred miles a day against the wind, Lin Qingxuan and the others had to slow down to accommodate themselves. However, they also had time to lower their heads and take a good look at the splendid mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty. As a result, Lin Qingxuan and the others saw that
I can't help but sigh, especially when I see refugees starving to death everywhere, and bandits and bandits roaring in the mountains and forests. It feels like I have returned to the Central Plains 150 years ago when the Song, Jin, Mongolia and Three Kingdoms were at their peak.
At this time, two years have passed since the revival of Zhaoguang. Although the Song Dynasty cannot be said to have reached the end of the decadent dynasty again, no one in the emperor's family has succeeded in practicing martial arts in the past forty years. Three consecutive generations of emperors have not
Incompetent, the power fell into the hands of the prime minister and other people. It was Liuyun Zhenren of Qingniu Palace who wore a green robe and was the new national preceptor after retiring from Zixiao Palace. He not only had the right but also the power to interfere in the government affairs.
He is also known as the "Prime Minister in Tsing Yi" for his casual behavior.
At this time, there were more than ten times the number of homeless and beggars in the Central Plains than a few decades ago. I heard from Fang Sheng that corrupt officials were rampant. The disciples of Qingniu Palace in the lower courtyard of each state capital also had the rank of imperial officials. They often used this method.
He was born in a village of fish and meat, colluding with officials and gentry, but the court always turned a blind eye to this matter. The people were in awe of the Quanzhen Immortal Sect, so naturally they did not dare to complain.
However, after all, the people are not cattle and sheep to be slaughtered. In recent years, not only have wars raged in the Western Regions of the Yuan Dynasty, but more than ten anti-Yuan rebel armies have appeared, causing the Yuan Dynasty to be in dire straits and in danger. They are the bandits and bandits in the Song Dynasty.
Rebellions and rebellions by homeless miners are also happening one after another. So far, the rebels in the Fujian, Guangdong, Jiaozhou, and grassland areas have defeated the imperial government's suppression army one after another. Nearly half of the state capitals have been reduced to chaos. The rebels of the Song Dynasty have rebelled against the rebels.
There is also a vague tendency to grow bigger.
The prosperity of martial arts led to the emergence of many masters in the rebel rebel army. However, the imperial army failed to suppress it, and the martial arts in the Central Plains fell into a battle with the Mingjiao. This made the Central Plains increasingly chaotic, and the Song Dynasty almost declined.
Historically, the Song Dynasty had perished for hundreds of years. It was the great help of Lin Qingxuan and the Quanzhen Sect that revived the Song Dynasty and continued the country to this day. Lin Qingxuan knew that nothing was everlasting and nothing could last forever.
Dynasty families, and now there are no foreign forces in Asia that can harm Chinese civilization. Even if the Song Dynasty is really destroyed, it will only be a change of emperor. At the same time, it will also reshuffle the situation in the world and solve the problem of land annexation.
Therefore, Lin Qingxuan was not prepared to personally save the Song Dynasty. Even Qiu Yangqi, the Quanzhen leader of the Zixiao Palace in the past ten years, claimed that he was ill in many edicts issued by Emperor Shuntian of the Song Dynasty and gave up on the Song Dynasty.
The Emperor of Song Dynasty may have completely placed himself in a detached position.
After the Quanzhen Sect was upgraded to an immortal religious sect, it only focused on practicing and studying immortal magic. The core Zixiao Palace no longer wanted to interfere with mundane affairs. Instead, the side branch Yuqing Palace fully assisted the Yuan Dynasty, and the Qingniu Palace assisted the Song Dynasty.
In the eyes of Qiu Yangqi and others, they believed that the Quanzhen Sect was benevolent and impeccable to the Song Dynasty. Patriarch Qingxuan had been promoted for many years, and his true disciple Zhaoguang Emperor Zhao Zhiyan had also been dead for more than a hundred years.
Up to now, the imperial family of the Song Dynasty is not even a direct descendant of Zhao Zhiyan, so the friendship between the Quanzhen Sect and the Zhao family has long been exhausted.
So today, the Song Dynasty has entered the period of decline or even the last dynasty of the periodic table of feudal dynasties. The Zhao family can only rely on themselves if they want to survive in the chaos. If the Shuntian court of the Song Dynasty fails to live up to its expectations, it will be hopeless.
Medicine can only be achieved by changing the dynasty and replacing it with fresh blood to govern the country and the people.
