The hospitality provided by the Hanshan Sect is average. I can’t say it’s good, but I can’t say it’s too bad either.
Jiang Feng and his party had been mentally prepared for this. Although it was rumored that the death was caused by a fair fight, the murderer of the leader was clearly there, making anyone feel uncomfortable if he saw it. Although Tuoba Tu was not a clear master.
, but he is not a tyrant. It is impossible to say that every sect disciple is sad, but there are always a few people, or a few people in key positions, who can't help but feel a little disappointed, and naturally they neglect Jiang Feng.
One line.
After waiting patiently for two hours, the group was finally arranged to live in an unknown courtyard on the northwest side of the Hanshan Sect's "Qi'an Hall". The conditions here are incomparable to the "Lotte Residence" layout of the Seven Alliance Winners' Camp.
, it is much worse than the "Chiyuan Pavilion" of Biyun Sect and Gujian Sect, which were the losers. Fortunately, there seems to be another courtyard with a similar layout to my nameless courtyard. It should be prepared for the Heishui Sect colleagues who have not yet arrived.
of.
"We'll take things as they come."
Wu Quanzhong laughed at himself and ordered a few servants to clean the guest rooms. Although the courtyard was small, one room per person was more than enough. Compared with the ordinary and ordinary hardships of the Hanshan Sect that he had seen along the way, this place was already quite good.
According to Jiang Feng's instructions, the prefecture-level monk Xiao Buyei was arranged to live next to him in the main room. He did not introduce Xiao Buyei's origins to the elders in detail, but only deliberately introduced in vague terms that this friend was from Li Sect and was accompanying them to protect everyone.
The safety of the people. A few people knew it and did not ask in detail. The earth-level aura exuding from Xiao Buyan's body gradually faded and appeared. Several people could feel it naturally. While they were confused in their hearts, they also secretly thought that the leader was indeed not the Amon he used to be.
He was actually able to recruit earth-level monks to accompany him, and his background was extraordinary.
"Shh, keep your voice down." Wu Quanzhong whispered to stop Zheng Luda from asking. The two lived next to each other. Once they settled down, Zheng Luda, who couldn't rest, came over to visit. He knew that Wu Quanzhong, as the elder of foreign affairs, must know something.
.
"Tell me about it, don't hide it."
Zheng Ruda lowered his voice uncomfortably. A prefecture-level monk had a keen sense, and he was also afraid of being punished for his words. If the other party was from Yufeng Sect, he would go to Wang Xiandao and ask. After all, the "Mandala Flower" family has some business.
Yufeng Sect has some sources of information, but it is different when it comes to Li Sect. It is estimated that only Wu Quanzhong, the elder of foreign affairs, has heard about it.
"The Xiao family is one of the five original families in Li Zong. I only know this, you can think about the rest by yourself."
Although Wu Quanzhong has more social contacts than the other elders, the structure of the Qianshan Sect is too small. Only small and medium-sized sects such as Fuhai Sect, Jincheng Sect and the Nangong family in the southwest of Li Sect have annexes. Therefore, as a foreign affairs official, he
Elders, the content that can be "reached high" is very limited.
Regarding the situation of Li Sect and Yufeng Sect, Wu Quanzhong only knew the general situation. For example, Li Sect was able to become the strongest sect in the area not only because of its large territory and abundant resources, but also because there were three heaven-level monks in charge.
There are thirty-one earth-level monks exposed. In comparison, the second largest sect, Yufeng Sect, has two heaven-level monks and twenty-eight earth-level monks. It is the only demon clan in the vicinity that can compete with them.
Sect.
Even though there are a lot of prefecture-level monks in Li Zong, if you want to hire a prefecture-level monk to help with the retinue, it is indeed not something you can do with ordinary connections, especially for a big family like the "Xiao Family", it is not so easy to get one.
Wu Quanzhong carefully suppressed the shock in his heart. He didn't want Zheng Luda to know too much, and he didn't want to give the other party the opportunity to look down on him because there was little information that could be exposed.

Qianshan Sect, Dayi County, Yuelai Inn.
Xiao Mingzhen just woke up from a dream that felt real. She dreamed of the New Year when she was twelve years old. The first snow had just passed. Her uncle Xiao Buyu breathed in the cold air and held up the third-level high-grade quasi-magic weapon for appraising the Dharma. "Please
"Bright as a pearl", it flashed across the face of every boy and girl one by one. The originally warm orb, once it encounters someone who is about to awaken to the Dharma, will flash with a warm golden light.
Standing next to her is Xiao Mingshan.
He was her childhood playmate, but not a best friend, but a growing rival. His father and her own father were twin brothers. Growing up, they compared poems and books, piano and paintings, and those around them.
His partner even compared the height of his awakening to his chest.
Snapped!
When the orb passed by Xiao Mingshan, it flashed an all-too-familiar glimmer of light. Every year, young people blushed at the intoxicating light and followed their elders happily. At that moment, she felt that the light was a bit dazzling.
, as the orb passed dimly by her side, the gone light seemed to be wrapped in cold needles again, piercing her young heart.
"Mingshan seems to be awakening to the Dharma. Let's take her to the 'Feng Lai Pavilion' to receive special courses." She heard a harsh command and inadvertently shed tears from the corners of her eyes.
Are you still so easily sad?
Xiao Mingzhen realized that she had actually woken up for a long time, but her body was reluctant to accept it. The room was as warm as spring, and the maids took extremely good care of her. Even the soft bed under her body would not prevent her from waking up. But she only had a slight eyeball.
He moved, seeming to want to immerse himself in that dream.
"I want to awaken the Dharma!" She remembered that she had shouted, sobbed, felt sad, asked God, and felt lost more than once in her heart, until she took the forbidden drug with full hope and experienced another four years of confusion;
Encounter a living awakening and find a new light; until...
She woke up.
Feeling the condition of the body, the pure monk's body, the second level of the spiritual level, the magic weapons around the body seem to be singing. This is the best magic weapon that can be used by ordinary monks and the first level of the spiritual level. Even if it is not the best, it is of the world.
It's rare. She is so favored. Although the custom of the Xiao family does not reflect this unique treatment, it has to be said that the items on her body are the best among the brothers and sisters, and even among the ordinary people of the same generation.
Because of her physique, she took the "blood of demigods" left behind by her ancestor's "Thousand-faced Perilla King" and awakened her natal magic skill "Soul Warming Touch", which is no different from her ancestors. Therefore, even if she is a mortal,
Even though she has been unable to awaken the Dharma for a long time, her treatment has not been reduced at all. The probability of awakening the Dharma after the age of twelve is very low, but it is not impossible. The Xiao family's historical record is nineteen years old.
In three years, maybe three more years, this special treatment will be removed. Xiao Mingzhen stroked his palm gently, and it seemed that after awakening, it became whiter and slender. She knew this was an illusion, but she liked it.
Take two prepared elixirs in your mouth. This "Snow Hashes and Ginseng Elixir" is slightly sweet, has mild and long-lasting properties, and has no impurities or sequelae. It is very suitable for improving your cultivation at the spiritual level. Instruct the maid to summon Han Xinzhi's confidants.
, asked about the external changes during the two days of sleeping, and learned that Jiang Feng and his party had set off for the Hanshan Sect, and Xiao Buyan was ordered to accompany them.
"I have sent a letter to the master as agreed." Han Xinzhi found a seat and sat down by himself. Unlike Xiao Buyan, he knew Xiao Mingzhen's awakening and even the agreement with Jiang Feng from beginning to end, but he, like Xiao Mingzhen,
I think this is the unique power of the elixir.
It is common sense to believe in elixirs. Just like the "Snow Hashes and Ginseng Spirit Pill", he also prepared five additional special elixirs. After taking them all, Xiao Mingzhen's cultivation will reach at least the eighth level of the spiritual level, and he will start preparing to attack the mysterious level.
This is the inherent inheritance routine of a large family like the Xiao family. Unlike the poor monks in the outside world, they have already found more than one direct path to the Xuan level. Although it is expensive, it is faster and safer, and Han Xinzhi was chosen by Xiao Mingzhen.
, it is the best among the best. It is risk-free and will not have any adverse effects on subsequent cultivation.
"Well, it was done well. Grandpa wants to intervene in the affairs of the Seven Alliances this time, but I don't know if it will go smoothly. I reported the matter of the Qianshan Sect to him. It was considered a last-minute idea. Speaking of which, he was still not prepared enough."
Because Xiao Mingzhen has not yet entered the realm of cultivation, he participates in political affairs much more than his fellow disciples who have awakened to the Dharma. In the Xiao family, cultivation is not the threshold for participation in politics. This is the same as the "literary cultivation style".
"Maintained a great fit.
"Miss, I saw a member of the Yu family, Yu Chengtong."
"The one number sixteen? What are they doing here? Have you talked to them?"
"I don't know the specific situation. Yu Chengtong refuses to talk about it, but it seems to be related to the leader Jiang. However, they are also quite interested in the structure of the Seven Alliances."
"Jiang Feng seems to have more secrets than I thought. But with the participation of the Yu family, perhaps grandpa's plan will be more successful. Our relationship with the Yu family is not too bad, and we can still cooperate."
"I have sent a message to Xiao Buyan. I believe he will choose an opportunity to meet with the Yu family."
…………
"Are you out?"
Only Jiang Feng could ask Xiao Buyei so calmly. After all, the other party promised Xiao Mingzhen to protect him. He was now a bodyguard, and several elders were not familiar with him. Earth-level monks generally would not break their promises, so even if
It is also detrimental to the road.
"Consult the surrounding situation so as to ensure safety." Xiao Buyei was carrying a purple sword on his back, and the fatigue caused by the bumpy journey did not show up on him at all. At this moment, the aura of the earth-level monk on his body had been completely released, covering up
The whole courtyard was affected. With this change, the Hanshan sect's boys, who were a little neglectful at first, are now much more polite to the people in this courtyard.
"Did you find anything?"
"There are four groups of forces following you around here. One should be from the Hanshan Sect, and the other is from the Chixia Sect. It will take time to identify the rest. However, it seems that no one wants to harm you, and none of them have murderous intent."
"That's good." Jiang Feng's shadow was actually always nearby, but he only discovered two forces. One was obviously from the Hanshan Sect. They were following them both overtly and covertly. In fact, they didn't do much to cover them up.
"Don't use your detection methods too much. There are at least six earth-level monks in the entire city, not counting me. They can easily cause trouble. I'm not here to fight."
"Yes Yes."
Jiang Feng looked at him, his own methods were nothing compared to earth-level monks. Although Xiao Buyan didn't know the specific methods he used, his perception was indeed not low.
…………
"Which of you has put away the gold and jade earrings?" Xiao Mingzhen asked seemingly unintentionally. The maids were carefully serving on the left and right, helping "senior" Mingzhen, a new monk, to dress up seriously for the first time. At this moment, Xiao Mingzhen felt that
She needed a new image, and the shadows of female cultivators from her family appeared before her eyes.
She obviously lacks experience in this area.
This one doesn't work, it's a bit old-fashioned, this one doesn't work, it doesn't seem dignified enough, that one seems okay, but is the powder too thick? My skin is so white, it doesn't seem to be needed. By the way, maybe this eyebrow needs to be thinned and raised a little.
, but it seems a bit flirtatious.
She was in a good mood, but the maids still didn't dare to be playful at all, which was different from before.
"I didn't accept it."
"I do not have either"
"Where did it go?" Xiao Mingzhen used his monk sense for the first time, but found nothing.
"Did that Master Jiang take it away?" the round-faced maid on the right said suddenly. She was more favored and bolder than the one on the left. The last ritual was performed by Jiang Feng, whom she questioned, "He did this ritual."
It took a long time, but he explained that because it was the last time, it took a long time."
Um?
Xiao Mingzhen's body trembled slightly, and then he felt his body carefully, and then checked the clothes he had changed. After a long time, he sighed in his heart, he seemed to be worrying too much. However, the gold and jade earrings that were of great significance to him seemed to have been taken away by him.
By the way, what's the use of taking a "worthless" mundane item?
Don't you have any special hobbies?
The key is that this is not within the detection range of "Soul Warming Touch".
…………
Jiang Feng, who was hundreds of miles away, suddenly sneezed for no reason. He was meditating and practicing the "Giant Wood Barrier" skill just now. Although he arrived at the Hanshan Sect, the uncertainty about the future made him feel confused.
Damn it, but you still need to calm down and wait for things to come to light.
He heard someone knocking on the door, knocking eagerly, seemingly impatiently.
A familiar figure appeared in front of me and said dryly, "Hey, I asked you to go to a meeting!"
