Regarding the visit of Master Pixiu, Daoxuan had mixed feelings about it.
Fortunately, the righteousness of the vast land of China is now declining. Among the original three major sects, only the Qingyun Sect is still standing and is alone withstanding the siege of demons and evils. Even though they are strong, they are really exhausted physically and mentally and are in urgent need of support.
And where will the support come from?
One is those small and medium-sized orthodox sects, such as the Vajra Sect, and the second is those neutral casual cultivators who are free on weekdays.
This can be regarded as the tradition of the Qingyun Sect. Eight hundred years ago, when Master Qingye defeated the Black-Hearted Old Man, Master Kuxin, a Sanxiu cultivator, had made great efforts. In the end, even the sword Tianya was placed in the Qingyun Sect.
Therefore, Daoxuan began to look for an expert in casual cultivation that he could win over, but unfortunately the situation was different now. After a series of accidents, the righteous path was generally at a disadvantage by the demonic path.
There were several targets that Daoxuan originally planned to win over, but they were either killed by the Demon Cult in advance, or they directly defected to the opponent, such as the Fengyue Ancestor from Jieshi Mountain.
Therefore, Daoxuan was very happy to meet a strong casual cultivator who took the initiative to vote today.
But because of what Patriarch Fengyue did before, he was also a little worried. Could it be that this old friend had also defected to the Demon Cult, and was taking advantage of the emptiness in Qingyun Sect to cause trouble today?
No matter what he was thinking, at least the smile on Daoxuan's face was sincere when he was greeted.
"Brother Pixiu, long time no see!"
"Brother Daoxuan, you're fine!"
The two of them looked at each other and looked at Pixiu jumping up and down to play with the water unicorn. Daoxuan suddenly sighed:
"I really envy them for their carefree appearance..."
Although they have not seen each other for nearly a hundred years, as one of the top monks in this world, Daoxuan, who is in his prime, should not show many signs of age.
But when he saw it today, Chi Yao was secretly surprised.
Because there were obvious marks on Daoxuan's forehead and between his eyebrows.
It may not be appropriate to say that they are old age lines, but it can at least explain that Daoxuan frowned so often that it left marks and wrinkles on his face that should not be present at his age.
Can it be less?
There were three sects of righteousness agreed upon, but two of them fell down faster than Daoxuan could react. By the time he came to his senses, the world was already in chaos.
As the only and final pillar of the righteous path, the burden on Qingyun Sect, and on him as the leader, is simply heavier than Mount Tai!
If one is not careful, the right path will be subverted and China will fall.
Let me ask, who can afford such consequences?
Therefore, Daoxuan's life in the past hundred years can be said to be a work of hard work, exhaustion, and exhaustion.
If Wan Jianyi hadn't been hidden in the Houshan Patriarch's Ancestral Hall, who could listen to him from time to time and occasionally go out to deal with important matters on his behalf, Daoxuan felt that he would have been crushed a long time ago.
Well, of course, when he said crushed, he didn't mean collapsed in the general sense.
If most people say that they are crushed, they will most likely give up everything and just wait to die.
But what Daoxuan actually means is...
He couldn't help but go out with the Zhuxian Sword and start killing people!
No one knows the hidden dangers of the Zhuxian Sword better than Dao Xuan and Wan Jianyi. After all, their master Tianchengzi was attacked by the evil spirit in the sword because of forceful use of the Zhuxian Sword, and finally became a demon.
Therefore, Daoxuan understands very well that the Zhuxian Sword is very powerful, but it is best not to use it lightly.
Even if the world's righteousness is declining and the disciples of the Qingyun Sect have suffered a lot, he has been enduring it.
Because he knew in his heart that if he was also infected by the evil spirit in the Zhuxian Sword and fell into the devil's path, that would be the real end.
Tian Chengzi, who was possessed by the devil back then, could be killed by Wan Jianyi and himself, but if he was possessed by the devil, who could stop him?
At that time, it will be the real catastrophe for the people!
Therefore, the Killing Immortal Sword can only be regarded as the last moment, the last plan to perish with the demons.
"Carefree, not necessarily."
Chi Yao followed Daoxuan's words and complained, "I don't know what happened recently, but word about little Pixiu has spread, attracting a lot of demons to covet me, which is very annoying. So, haha, to be honest, I am
I came to you to take refuge."
When Daoxuan heard this, he was secretly happy.
It’s good to take refuge!
It would be best if you could stay here forever!
But on the surface, he showed an expression of shared hatred and hatred: "Those devil bastards are really bullying people!"
He did not suspect that Chi Yao was telling lies, because Chi Yao sent people to slowly release this information little by little starting more than ten years ago.
Although it is not as big as those major events that easily shock the world, if you are serious about it, you can easily figure out a context and verify the truth of the matter.
Therefore, Daoxuan believed it all at once, and even began to plan in his mind how to take advantage of this opportunity to tie Chi Yao and his spiritual beast Pixiu to the boat of Qingyun Gate forever.
'The Qingyun Sect is not against Taoist couples. The young couple Suru and Tian Buyi are quite good at playing the harp and the harp. Junior Brother Zeng from Fenghuifeng has already married and has children. I wonder if Junior Sister Shuiyue from Xiaozhufeng has any thoughts in this regard.
...'
If Chi Yao knew what Dao Xuan was thinking about at this moment, he would probably die speechless.
After a while, I guess you have even thought about how to arrange for my son, right?
Of course, Daoxuan's divergent thinking stopped immediately, and the two quickly changed the topic and chatted about the current situation in the vast land of China.
"Now that Dao eliminates demons, the situation is extremely dangerous!"
Daoxuan frowned and looked stern.
"What is the current situation of Tianyin Temple?"
Chi Yao suddenly asked, "Although there are two out of the three sects of the Righteous Way, Fenxiang Valley has always had little impact on the Central Plains. Now there is no sign of invasion from the foreign races in the Shiwanshan Mountains in southern Xinjiang, so this is different from
There is no big difference. The main reason is that Tianyin Temple is missing. After Puhong became a demon, Tianyin Temple has been closed for nearly a hundred years, has it not recovered yet?"
"well……"
Daoxuan sighed and shook his head.
Although they are both pillars of the righteous path, they are two sects after all. Even if Tianyin Temple sent people to Qingyun Sect to ask for help, they did not reveal all the information.
So he couldn't understand why Tianyin Temple became like this.
Speaking of the headmaster becoming a demon, it’s not like the Qingyun Sect has never experienced it. Didn’t Tian Chengzi become a demon back then?
As a result, Daoxuan teamed up with Wan Jianyi to kill him on the spot, without causing any damage in time. It was a shame to be possessed by a demon.
So Daoxuan really can't figure out how far he must be possessed to cause enough damage to Tianyin Temple to close the mountain for a hundred years?
Tianyin Temple is also very aggrieved. Are you, Daoxuan and Wan Jianyi, ordinary people?
Not to mention that the two of you teamed up to kill Tian Chengzi in the ancestral hall, so there was really no loss.
But we are different!
When Abbot Puhong was possessed by the devil, there was not even a single person in the temple who could fight him, let alone kill him!
By the time Pu Fang, Pu De and others came back from Huqi Mountain, Tianyin Temple was already in a mess. Fortunately, Pu Hong became confused and confused after becoming a demon and did not chase the disciples of Tianyin Temple to death, otherwise they would have come back to see
I'm afraid it will be a ghost temple!
But even so, when Pufang and others calculated the losses, they still felt heartbroken.
The wordless jade wall was destroyed, the magical scriptures were robbed, and a large number of buildings collapsed. Although the losses to the disciples were not too great, the pilgrims were frightened to a considerable extent, which led to the disrepute of Tianyin Temple.
The most important thing is that the treasure at the bottom of Tianyin Temple's box, the Samsara Pearl, was taken away by the possessed Pu Hong.
As mentioned before, compared to Qingyunmen and Fenxiang Valley, Tianyin Temple does not have a magic weapon with a quality level comparable to the Zhuxian Sword or Xuanhuo Jian, so they studied the wordless jade wall and combined it with the only Nine Heavens Divine Weapon Reincarnation Pearl in their hands.
He came up with a way to shape the god of incense as a trump card in the future competition for the position of leader of the righteous path.
After many years of accumulation, the power of incense inside the Samsara Pearl has become difficult to count. Tianyin Temple's thousand-year plan is about to be completed...
As a result, Pu Hong became possessed and disappeared with the Samsara Pearl.
The mentality of everyone in Tianyin Temple collapsed.
Therefore, during the hundred years since Puhong disappeared, they only focused on two things.
First, find Puhong, or find the Samsara Pearl.
Secondly, the organization's manpower will restore all the lost magic weapons and scriptures.
Apart from that, I really can't care about anything else.
If you ask them to eliminate demons, they are still afraid of attracting the attention of the demon sect and repeating the mistakes of Incense Valley during this period of extremely weak time!
So it is not difficult to understand why they have been closing the mountain.
In the final analysis, whether it is the battle between good and evil or anything else, it can only be taken into consideration when the sect's survival is worry-free. Now Tianyin Temple is focused on maintaining the sect's survival, and there is still Kung Fu to eliminate demons.
Defending the Tao?
What's more important is that they haven't been able to ask Qingyun Sect for help for this kind of thing.
Because once the incident spreads and Tianyin Temple's weakness is exposed, they will surely fall prey to the major sects of the devil.
Moreover, the search for Puhong is also related to the whereabouts of the Samsara Pearl, so it is even more important to guard against others.
The two of them walked and chatted all the way, passing through Hongqiao, Sea of Clouds, Yuqing Hall, and all the way to the back mountain of Tongtian Peak.
Of course, Daoxuan did not want to take Chi Yao to an important place such as the ancestor's ancestral hall. Instead, he called a young disciple in the back mountain: "Chang Jian, this is my good friend Pixiu Zhenren, who will live here from now on."
At Tongtian Peak, you will be responsible for taking care of me."
"Yes, Master."
Compared to Xiao Yicai who ran errands last time, Chang Jian looked mediocre.
His appearance is unremarkable, and his cultivation is not satisfactory. His strength is not as good as that of Xiao Yicai, Qi Hao and others of the same age, and his potential is not as good as that of younger Lu Xueqi and Lin Jingyu.
But he is still a genius.
But there are levels and gaps between geniuses.
Not everyone can easily break through to the second Shangqing realm and have plenty of time to pursue the position of leader or even leader of a lineage. Most of them are like Chang Jian, who stayed at the peak of Yuqing for many years and finally reluctantly stepped into the Shangqing realm.
Realm, becoming an ordinary deacon and elder in the sect.
This is already a rare achievement.
Those who can join the Qingyun Sect are only one in a million in terms of talent and luck. Only one in a hundred among these people will have the opportunity to become an elder of a certain peak.
This is the current situation of Qingyun Sect, the number one sect in the world.
The second time he came to Qingyun Gate, although his goal was bolder than the last time, Chi Yao's mentality became more and more relaxed.
"Chang Jian, I heard that Qingyun Sect just held the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition some time ago?"
"Senior, it's true."
Chang Jian was neither humble nor arrogant, and answered calmly.
"Speaking of which, more than a hundred years ago, I also watched a Seven Meridians martial arts competition, and I was particularly impressed by the excitement."
Chi Yao casually said, "With your age and cultivation level, you should have participated, right? How was your result?"
"Ashamed,"
Chang Jian shook his head slightly, "Stop at the top eight."
"That's not bad. Who are the other top eight players?"
The two chatted casually while walking. Through Chang Jian's words, Chi Yao had a general understanding of the current Qingyun Sect.
To his surprise, after Zhang Xiaofan was killed by the butterfly, Lin Jingyu still worshiped Longshou Peak and became a disciple of Cangsong Taoist. He also stole the show in the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition, making Longshou Peak a leader.
It is the only one with two seats in the top eight. It can be said that it has given Cangsong a lot of face.
It's a pity for Dazhufeng. They were able to rise with Zhang Xiaofan, but they were not so lucky this time. Although Song Daren was lucky enough to break into the top eight, he and Chang Jian were both defeated, and neither side could go further.
In the end, Lu Xueqi, who got the better of Xiaozhu Peak, defeated Qi Hao of Longshou Peak in the finals and won the championship.
Of course, because she was holding the Divine Sword Tianya and used the Divine Sword Controlling Thunder True Technique, one of Qingyun's Four Great Sword Techniques, no one would say that she won the championship based on luck.
It is worth mentioning that because Zhang Xiaofan was gone, the famous confrontation in Yuqing Palace also disappeared. Cangsong Taoist is still an important pillar of Qingyun Sect and Daoxuan's confidant.
Chi Yao was not sure whether it was because the situation was so different that he changed Cangsong's mind, or whether he was still waiting for a perfect opportunity to jump back.
In this way, he stayed in Qingyunmen for a long time.
Then something big happened.
On this day, Chi Yao was playing with Pi Xiu and Water Qilin as usual by the Bitan, when he suddenly saw a majestic sword light flying over his head, heading straight for the Yuqing Palace.
You know, in order to show respect for the leader, flying with swords is generally not allowed in front of Tongtian Peak.
He was a little curious, so he followed him.
The moment he stepped into the Yuqing Palace, he saw a very unforgettable scene.
I saw Daoxuan, who was wearing a dark green Taoist robe, supporting a serious Taoist priest who was in embarrassment with a concerned look on his face, and seemed to be saying some comforting words.
But from the man's sleeves crawled out a bunch of terrifying centipedes that were as big as the palm of his hand, with seven-branched tails!
This colorful centipede bit Daoxuan's hand hard from an angle that he couldn't see!
This great master, who led the people in a righteous way, couldn't help but let out a miserable cry:
