In the Battle of the Heavenly Tomb, both the Shushan Sword Ancestor and his wife died in battle, and the elites of the Shushan Sword Sect suffered heavy losses. After Dalin was destroyed, the Shushan Sword Sect was repeatedly suppressed by Kunlun, the number one sect of the Taoist sect. The reputation of the sect has dropped to a low point. Fortunately, it was originally living in exile.
Ziqing Shuangjiao, the daughter of the Shushan Sword Ancestor in Buzhou, was helped by the spirit of the Emei Ancestor. She gained the recognition of the Shushan Sword Sect's Zhenshan Immortal Four Swords and the unanimous support of the young heroes in the sect, and relied on them to defeat intruders.
The enemy, this allowed the Shushan Sword Sect to be able to defend the mountain gate and barely protect itself.
However, with the current strength of Ziqing Shuangjiao and the Emei sect, they are unable to compete with Kunlun and other sects. Under the combined efforts of several famous sects, their decline is almost certain, and there is little chance of restoring their former glory.
The situation in Longhu Mountain is even more worrying than that of the Emei Sect. Located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there are well-known sects outside who are suppressing them, the Wandering Dragon Sword Sect is looking closely, and there are children of the Zhang family who are forcing the palace, and the current Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, Luo Fengwu, has been away from home all year round.
, leaving only Murong Bingyan, a weak woman with no heirs as the head of the family, with a dishonest reputation and unruly words. Longhushan has become the weakest link in the Dalin Alliance, and may fall apart at any time under internal and external pressure. This also attracts
Many well-known sects and the forces secretly spying on Longhu Mountain all want to take a share of the changes in Longhu Mountain.
Nowadays, major famous sects, Shenhuang Sect, Aotian Alliance and other forces with ulterior motives have appeared in Jiangnan, using various methods to take advantage of the changes in Longhu Mountain. Therefore, the cultivation world in Jiangnan seems to be calm on the outside.
In fact, the undercurrent has already been turbulent, and those standing on the cusp of the storm are Longhushan and Murong Bingyan.
Under such circumstances, the Emei Sword Sect and Longhushan, who were both from the same Li Dao sect, were both Dalin's allies at the time, and both had women in power, naturally came together and formed a solid alliance to fight together. It was reported that the Emei Sword Sect a month ago
The Ziqing Shuangjiao of the sect had already arrived at Longhu Mountain with the Four Swords of Zhuxian, and firmly stood on the side of Murong Bingyan. At the same time, the Qingcheng sect and Yunlin Temple also made moves, either overtly or covertly.
The support came from Longhu Mountain.
The four forces are competing against Longhu Mountain, which has caused the situation in the Jiangnan Cultivation World to become increasingly turbulent. Huge waves may occur at any time, and there may even be another monk war that can change the pattern of the entire Central Plains Cultivation World.
Therefore, in this situation, Fahai, an outsider, did not rush to Longhu Mountain to get involved in the chaos. Instead, he chose to use himself as a hidden weapon, first going to Jinshan Temple to straighten up the mountain gate, and then wait for an opportunity.
Entering the situation as the abbot of Jinshan Mountain, he helped Murong Bingyan resolve the crisis.
Fahai had to keep a low profile, after all, there were wonderful things in the Central Plains today.
…
"Qiantang County has arrived. Master and this lady, do you want to go for a walk?"
The call of the boatman made Fahai calm down. He raised his head and looked towards the shore. Sure enough, he had arrived at Qiantang County, a famous city on the coast of Taihu Lake. This was also the hometown of the Xu Xian siblings in the previous life of the White Snake.
Qiantang Lake is also called West Lake.
"Jiangnan has the most beautiful scenery in the world, and West Lake has the most beautiful scenery in Jiangnan. Of course we have to go take a look."
Before Fahai could answer, Jun Xiyue had already taken the lead and pulled Fahai ashore, followed naturally by Yue Lianer and Wang Xingren, and they all headed straight for Qiantang.
In March, the orioles grow.
There are two embankments in Subai and peach and willow trees on the bank.
On both sides of Qiantang are rippling water and dotted with cruise ships. In the distance are mountains with empty mountains and green indigo, just like a fairyland outside the world.
The beautiful scenery of the West Lake outside Qiantang City is even better. The lotuses touching the sky, the Three Pools soaked in moonlight, the orioles singing in the willow cages, and the towers in the mist of drizzle all gave Fahai and others an unusual taste.
Style.
Before they knew it, everyone had entered Qiantang County.
Qiantang County is extremely prosperous, with accessible roads, numerous shops, and numerous tourists. This makes Jun Xiyue and Yue Lian'er, who have lived in the cold Western Region all year round, extremely excited. They pointed and strolled along the way. At noon, everyone came to see Qiantang County.
We were able to take a break and have lunch in a restaurant in the city.
However, although Qiantang is rich, there are also many poor people in the city. The court is in turmoil and the imperial power changes. Many people are implicated. There are also many people in the hinterland of Jiangnan. Some have their homes and families exterminated, some have their heads thrown to the ground, and some have been miserably exiled.
But more often than not, their families have declined, they have returned from wealth to poverty, and become homeless and low-income beggars.
Fa Hai and others left the restaurant and continued walking along the streets of the city. After leaving the bustling area of the main city, there were gradually more beggars wandering around the city.
"Master, please do it. My brother has not eaten for three days and is about to starve to death..."
Perhaps it was because of Fa Hai's kind-hearted appearance that he looked like a compassionate and eminent monk, so before he had gone far, he was stopped by a little girl in ragged clothes. She was carrying a large backpack on her back.
There was also a little baby who was waiting for his baby.
The little girl is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and her appearance can be regarded as a middle-aged girl. She has a vague aura of scholarly family, but now her face is pale, she is obviously malnourished, and she is wearing a tattered skirt, full of
He knelt down miserably in front of Fa Hai and others, begging hard.
"Amitabha, it is the duty of Buddhism to help people in the world. Please get up and speak, little benefactor." In front of a large audience, people knelt down and begged on the street. Fahai naturally did not lose his status as an eminent monk, so he hurriedly bowed his head and put his hands together, and put on a good show.
The look of compassion.
"Master, my daughter's name is Xu Jiaorong. She originally came from a scholarly family in Qiantang County, but she was implicated because her ancestors once served as teachers in Prince Qiu's Mansion. Her family fell into decline, and her parents died of illness a few years ago.
I can only make a living by taking my younger brother out to beg for food..."
Seeing that Fahai was so easy to talk to, the little girl knelt down, kowtowed repeatedly, and spoke out her pain with tears in her eyes, in order to win the sympathy of Fahai and others.
Jun Xiyue saw that this little girl had a pitiful background and extraordinary talk, so she couldn't help but feel good about her. She said softly to Fahai, "Fahai, let's help her. This little girl is so pitiful."
Fa Hai didn't seem to hear Jun Xiyue's words, and his eyes had already passed the little girl in front of him, staring at the baby in the basket behind her.
"Your name is Xu Jiaorong? Then your brother's name is..."
"My ancestor was implicated by King Qiu, and it has been difficult for generations to enter the court and serve as an official. My father was miserable all his life. When he died, he hoped that his younger brother would find another way to make a living when he grew up and become a free and easy man in the immortal world. Therefore, he was named...
Xu Xian!" As if she was afraid that Fa Hai and others would ridicule Xu Xian's name, Xu Jiaorong told the whole story in one breath.
