"About half an hour later, Mingwei General Cheng Lixue walked out of the inn with a stiff face, as if his anger had not disappeared."
The blood river sect's spy was telling the butcher exactly what he saw at that time.
"They had a conflict?!" The butcher immediately became excited after hearing this.
If there is a conflict between the Shenwu Army and Buddhism and Taoism, then the Holy Sect does not need to worry for the time being!
The confrontation between Jianghu and the imperial court did not happen overnight.
People in Jianghu value freedom and freedom from restraint.
People in the imperial court respected order and behaved appropriately.
It is destined that the two parties' operating purposes cannot be completely unified.
Both have waxed and waned over thousands of years.
When the imperial court is powerful and the rule is prosperous, people in the world will restrain themselves and even serve the imperial court.
For example, during the Wenjing period of the Pre-Han Dynasty, knights were used by the imperial court.
Another example is the Zhenguan period of the former Tang Dynasty. During the Kaiyuan period, martial arts were driven by the imperial court.
But in times of trouble, the world will also be in turmoil.
Such as the Anshi Rebellion, the late Tang Dynasty, the Northern Qianlong Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty's move southward to destroy the Song Dynasty...
Now, if the imperial court and Jianghu were to fight over certain matters, the Blood River Sect would laugh to death.
Under the butcher's questioning, the leader in charge of the peripheral intelligence of the inn, the same hawker from before, quickly said, "Back to the hall master, Cheng Lixue then ordered the hundreds of cavalry who followed him to surround the inn with Yulong's city defense troops. .And the people in the inn are strictly ordered not to enter or leave at will on a large scale, not to fight, not to make noises and spare their lives."
The leader talked for a long time, and his mouth became dry. He licked his lips and couldn't help but look at the teapot next to the butcher. There was still water mist on it, which was obviously chilled.
The butcher glanced at the boy and knew what he was thinking, but he had been working really hard recently. He had to not just rely on coercion to get his people to do things, but also give them some sweetness at the right time, so that they could do things in a down-to-earth manner.
Immediately, the butcher poured the boy a cup of iced tea himself, and then took out a silver note from his sleeve.
"You and the brothers have worked hard these days, but the foundation of the Holy Sect cannot be careless. You need to be more careful. Take these silver coins and buy some good food for the brothers, but you are not allowed to drink! You must keep an eye on the Yulong Inn for me. Among the martial arts people, if anyone leaves on a large scale, report to me immediately!"
"Yes!" Looking at the five hundred taels of silver notes in his hand, the leader felt happy. Not to mention eating a good meal, even if he had ten meals, it would not cost him one hundred taels! This is Bo Chun earned four hundred taels.
After drinking the herbal tea and collecting the banknotes, the leader continued, "Master, about an hour after Cheng Lixue left, the Shenwu Army came. A total of three hundred people came, covering the front and back doors of the Yulong Inn. They were surrounded. Anyone going out with more than three people must get approval from the Shenwu Army."
The butcher's eyes lit up when he heard this, "This is a good thing. These Buddhist and Taoist masters will not fall out with people in the court. Now we are more relaxed! You continue to keep an eye on this inn. If there is any movement, Report it immediately!"
"yes!"
After the leader left, the butcher immediately began to write information and ordered people to deliver it.
Although the Blood River Sect does not have Lingfeng Pigeon, they have their own way of transmitting information in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Southern Xinjiang, Blood River Sect General Altar.
This place was full of corpses. Not long ago, a huge conflict broke out within the Blood River Sect.
There has been a long-term conflict between the elder line and the protector line.
The elders are the remaining disciples of the original Blood River Sect. Today, the original minions have become the current elders.
The guardian system is the masters recruited by the Blood River Sect from all over the world, including but not limited to warriors who are trapped in a certain realm and cannot break through, individual people who have great hatred but cannot avenge it, righteous disciples who betray the sect, and those who are wanted by the court.
Big robber.
The whole theme is garbage collection.
The Blood River Sect Master actually didn’t want to do it at first, but for the sake of expansion, he had no choice!
The Blood River Sect started late and was crippled by Zhang Sanfeng and his group. If they wanted to revive in a short period of time, they had to do whatever they could.
These garbage can be dealt with slowly after the Blood River Sect becomes the largest sect in the world. Right now, fighting against the Buddhist and Taoist families is the top priority.
The elder system and the guardian system are not worth each other for a long time!
The top management doesn't really matter. They have the most resources and everyone has similar interests. There's nothing to fight for. At most, they're fighting for face.
But it is different for the disciples below. All resource allocation, gold and silver rewards... are limited. If you take more, I will take less.
As the senior members of the elder family, the disciples below naturally enjoy more, which has long aroused the dissatisfaction of the guardian family.
Moreover, the leader of the Blood River Sect encourages fighting. Disciples can fight each other, as long as it doesn't go too far.
Private fights are not allowed in the Dongxuan realm and above, and deaths in the Yuanhua realm need to be investigated.
While protecting high-end combat power, cultivate more outstanding disciples by raising gu.
Although this method is bloody, it is also effective.
Now the power of the Blood River Sect Master can no longer be resisted by any one sect alone!
However, this also planted the seeds of this large-scale conflict.
This time, the sect leader brought the first elder and the second elder to the north, and the chief protector was not at the gate either.
This chaos broke out in the Blood River Sect's main altar, and the elder system that originally had the upper hand was suppressed by the guardian system.
More than ten Yuanhuajing people were killed or injured in the conflict.
This was the scene where corpses were scattered all over the place. In the end, the fifth elder couldn't stand it anymore, fearing that things would get out of control and the sect leader would blame them when he came back, so he stopped the turmoil from continuing.
"Fifth Elder, there is information coming from Jade Dragon City!"
The fifth elder took the note from the hands of the hall master.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but this look shocked the fifth elder.
Seeing the expression on the fifth elder's face, everyone present knew that the matter was not simple.
"Fifth Elder, what happened!"
After reading it, the fifth elder circulated the note in his hand to everyone.
"The Zhongyuan Wulin Zhengdao is targeting us again! What a fool!" Protector Bei cursed loudly after reading it.
It was already difficult to deal with Zhuge Zhengwo and Liu Dufeng, but now Zhang Xuanqing from the Tianshi Mansion has come, and the Jing Nian Zen sect has been completely wiped out.
The younger Ninth Elder, well, that is, exactly fifty years old, was young and energetic, and immediately took action.
"The imperial court wants to deal with us, and now it wants to involve both Buddhism and Taoism. This is really treating us like weak persimmons!"
"Lao Jiu, don't be impatient! Each of these people are top figures in the world, so we can't just rely on their bravery."
The person who spoke was the Seventh Elder, an old man with a goatee who looked sinister, and could only tell others directly that I was a bad guy and that I had a conspiracy!
"What the Seventh Elder said is absolutely true. Now that the sect leader is not in the door, we must act even more cautiously!"
Protector Nan on the side spoke in agreement.
Although he is from the Dharma Protector system, he himself has a close relationship with the Seventh Elder.
"Lao Qi, you are so resourceful, what do you think we should do?!"
The seventh elder just smiled reservedly, stood up and bowed his hands to everyone, and then said, "Everyone, the imperial court and the martial arts righteous path are now fierce, and they obviously know our existence. Our Blood River Sect has been working with these people since our ancestors established the path.
The hypocritical martial arts world is incompatible with each other. When they come this time, they must be taught a lesson!"
"You said it nicely. Although we seem to have more masters here than them, Zhang Xuanqing has been in the Dharma, Celestial and Elephant Realm for many years, and he is not a good person. Zhuge Zhengyi is also a disciple of Wei Qingqing of the Zizi Sect, with extraordinary martial arts. The sect leader is not in the sect.
I really don’t know who is going to teach whom!”
Protector Bei is a straight-forward person, and what he dislikes the most is people like the Seventh Elder who are calculating and not grand at all.
The incompatibility between the two makes their relationship very ordinary.
"What Protector Bei said is exactly what Zhang Xuanqing is the master of the Tianshi Mansion. The Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Techniques can restrain the blood river holy method of our sect. Unless it can reach the highest level of the legendary Ten Thousand Blood Transformation Yuan, otherwise it will
It is difficult to get rid of the restraint of the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Techniques on our true energy. Therefore, it is definitely unwise to confront them head-on."
"You've been talking for a long time, but haven't you farted at all!?" Protector Bei snorted coldly, not giving the Seventh Elder any face.
"Actually, this method is in the intelligence." The seventh elder also said, "We don't need to complicate things!"
The Seventh Elder held up the piece of paper with the information written on it and said, "According to the news from Yulong City, Zhuge Zhengwo and Liu Dufeng have entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains in order to pry into the secrets of our Blood River Sacred Sect. Everyone,
This place is our territory! If we can find Liu Dufeng and Zhuge Zhengwo in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and seriously injure or even kill them first, wouldn't it be easy to deal with the remaining Zhang Xuanqing and them?
too much!?"
This strategy has little merit. It is to use the favorable location and number of people to deal with one part of the enemy first, and then deal with the other part.
But it is one of the most intuitive methods at the moment.
"What the Seventh Elder said is true!" As a good friend of the Seventh Elder, Protector Nan naturally has to be a good friend, and besides, this plan is indeed a good one!
"Then let's do it! Lao Qi, Lao Ba, Lao Ninth, Protector Nan, Protector Qian, the five of you are responsible for looking for traces of Zhuge Zhengwo and Liu Dufeng in Shiwan Mountain. Once found, immediately prepare to lead people to surround them.
Kill!" the Fifth Elder, as the current highest person in charge of the altar, ordered.
Although there are conflicts between the elder system and the guardian system, they are still unambiguous in dealing with major issues.
"At the same time, we send an order to all the intelligence bases in the mountain to collect intelligence with all their strength! The mountain people who enveloped us will also use it. We must find the traces of Liu Dufeng and Zhuge Zhengwo in the shortest possible time!"
Southern Xinjiang, one hundred thousand mountains.
Under the leadership of Jin Bao, Zhuge Zhengwo and Liu Dufeng have gone deep into it.
These days, the two of them have finished eating the dried meat, but fortunately, there are many delicacies and delicacies in this hundred thousand mountains.
There are many pheasants, wild boars, and deer deer in this mountain.
There are also a lot of wild vegetables.
There's no need to worry about the food for the three of them. They've all put on some weight these days.
In fact, there were a lot of delicious and fragrant fungi, but none of the three of them dared to eat them. It was not because they were afraid of being poisoned. Zhuge Zhengwo and Liu Dufeng were naturally aware of poisons.
It's just that some fungi he hasn't read yet have hallucinogenic effects, which is also a troublesome thing.
When the three of them passed by a town, they also changed some dry food and water.
The Hundred Thousand Mountains seem to stretch out, but there are not a few mountain people living in them. They have spontaneously formed towns for many years to trade materials.
"Jinbao! There are many gods worshiped in southern Xinjiang!" Zhuge Zheng and I discovered that many Zhai owners and Zhendian worship gods along the way.
"Yes, Zhuge Achai, we people in southern Xinjiang have many gods. The ones worshiped the most are the Gu God and the Witch God!"
The art of Gu is widely spread in southern Xinjiang, and any village that studies the art of Gu will worship the God of Gu.
The Witch God is the supreme god in southern Xinjiang mythology. He has a mysterious origin, is proficient in witchcraft, and is sometimes male or female.
Then there are all kinds of evil gods, weird gods!
"Hey, Jinbao, who is that god with a high crown and a broad belt that we saw in Zhendian a few days ago?!" Liu Dufeng asked his disciple.
That god has the most normal style of painting among the statues of gods, and is most like a Taoist god. There are many worshipers, second only to mainstream gods such as the Gu God and the Witch God.
"This seems to have come from Dazhou, and few people worshiped it before."
Liu Dufeng nodded, seeing that the painting style was indeed that of the God of the Central Plains.
Among the many statues of gods, there was also one that aroused the suspicion of Zhuge Zhengwo and Liu Dufeng.
The statue has a green face, fangs, three heads and eight arms, and the entire statue is stained with blood, and fresh blood must be offered every day.
There are many strange-looking evil gods, but it is the only one that needs to be worshiped with blood every day.
This approach looks like something the Blood River Sect can do.
The core of the Blood River Sect lies in human essence and blood.
Use the essence and blood of others to strengthen yourself.
This is very similar to the way of worshiping this evil god. If there is no connection between them, Liu Dufeng would not believe it.
It's a pity that the mountain people don't know the origin of this statue. They only know that it comes from the depths of Shiwan Mountain and is extremely efficacious.
…
The sky was getting dark, and just when the three of them were about to find a place, they saw rising smoke, and there was a village in front of them!
"Haha, just in time, let's stay overnight!" While chatting and laughing, the three of them walked towards the cottage.
"Uhapura, Lajiwutuo..." After Jinbao communicated with the people in the village in local dialect, the three of them stayed in the village smoothly.
The villagers in the village were also curious about the sudden arrival of the three uninvited guests.
But it was normal for Liu Dufeng to come here. After all, this place was no longer on the outskirts of Shiwandashan. Very few people from the Central Plains would come to this place.
The three of them settled in the village leader's home, where the banknotes from Tiandi Bank could not be circulated, and the money Liu Dufeng and Zhuge Zhengwo brought with them was limited, so they were about to pay them in silver.
Jinbao took out a dagger from his package and immediately got the thumbs up from the village leader.
The smelting technology in southern Xinjiang was backward, and such high-quality ironware was still rare. They were immediately served good wine and food to entertain the two of them.
After dinner, Liu Dufeng came to Zhuge Zhengwo's room.
"Brother Zhuge, have you noticed..."
"Recently, we seem to be under surveillance!"
Liu Dufeng narrowed his eyes and found out that this was not just his illusion.
