Nothing is to blame

Chapter 1181
In the valley, a torrent flowed down, encountered a huge boulder blocking it, and turned a corner abruptly.

But at this turning point, a shoal was formed.

Smoke hung over the shallows.

This smoke is not agitated by water vapor, but something suspended in the air, emitting from the eight holes in it.

The whole body of this object is black, it seems to be a papaya, there are four holes at the upper and lower ends, slowly emitting white smoke, floating in the air very strangely.

Just looking at the appearance of this thing, it is absolutely difficult to guess its purpose.But look at the flames of five colors constantly gushing out below, and there are four old men with white beard and hair holding plantain fans in all directions, and pinching the magic formula with their fingers.But it is not difficult to guess that this is a refining furnace.

It's just unknown whether it is alchemy or tool refining.

Those four old men, with perfect energy, merged into a bunch, rushed into the sky for dozens of miles and did not disperse, they clearly already had the cultivation level of separation and reunion.

On the other side of the mountain, there was a middle-aged man watching with his legs crossed, his eyes full of energy.Although it seems to be thin and small, the world here is filled with a wonderful meaning that reflects this person's heart all the time, as if the subject and the guest are reversed.

This is clearly a Tianxuan Shangzheng.

A quarter of an hour later, the papaya-shaped refining furnace suddenly emitted extremely dazzling black smoke from the upper hole, and it exuded a pungent smell.

The expressions of the four monks in the separation and reunion state all changed, and they stopped their movements one after another.

The Tianxuan Shangzhen on the top of the mountain also sighed.

The four looked anxious, and they all stepped forward to plead guilty.

Xuanshang was really silent for a long time that day, and said: "It's none of your business."

The frontmost one among the four separated monks looked slightly purple. Although his beard and hair were also white, he was obviously younger than the other three.I saw him take a step forward and said: "If there is no Yuanyuanshuang, it will be difficult to refine Wuling Dingxin Pill after all. If you refine ten furnaces, at most two or three of them will be completed, and the quality will be greatly affected. This disciple thinks that there is no need to try again, otherwise Waste of resources in vain."

That day Xuanshangzhen's eyes moved slightly, and said: "Then stop."

Immediately he stood up, and his figure slowly faded from the world.

The four separated monks looked at each other.

This day, Tianxuan Shangzhen came between the two mountains, and suddenly stretched out his finger.

On the seemingly empty boundary, two wavy golden lines suddenly appeared, criss-crossing to form a cross.

The cross became thicker and thicker in a very short period of time, opening into a circular portal.

It turned out that this seemingly inconspicuous boundary actually hides a secret passageway.

Stepping into it one step at a time, the scene in it looks small, but it is also elegant. There are three handsome peaks standing in a tripod, surrounding a lake floating in the air.At this time, there was a small boat with a strange size of three feet floating on the lake. At the bow and stern of the boat, there was a person wearing a bamboo hat, fishing leisurely.

The person at the front of the boat suddenly raised his head, looked at the look of the visitor, and said with a smile: "I guess it's a failure. I've already advised Junior Brother Luo that you don't need to worry, and wait for news from Gantangzong and Qingweizong. There must be enough Yuan Yuanshuang for a small trading meeting."

The man who spoke had a long beard and was very eye-catching.

There are quite a few cultivators with beards, but none so dense.Behind the ears and under the nose of this person, the whole is connected into one piece, and the color of his beard and hair is a rare light yellow, which is unforgettable.

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, and said: "Wuling's reassurance pill is not very effective for you, Kong Yuanping, so you can naturally make sarcastic remarks. The last trading meeting also said that this product is very rich, but it was intercepted by Qingliang Mountain. What 'Taiyang Great Dan' went."

The long-bearded monk shook his head, and said solemnly: "The book on the efficacy of Taiyang Great Pill is of high grade, but it is above our Wuling Reassurance Pill."

The person who had been sitting in the stern of the boat without speaking suddenly said: "Now Guyi Shangzhen is on duty in the alliance. I have some friendship with him. I'll go and say hello to him, this time I must leave you Put down a sufficient amount of Yuan Yuan Frost."

Among the three people here, the middle-aged Shangzhen who entered midway after failing alchemy was named Luo Yuanzhen; the long-bearded Shangzhen was named Kong Yuanping; Britain.The three sects belonged to the Sanxuan sect, which is one of the original seventy-seven hidden sects.

The reason why the Sanxuan Gate got its name is because there are three Tianxuan Shangzhen in the gate.Right now, there are actually three people in the door.

But this does not mean that the Sanxuan sect has been like this from generation to generation. In fact, the momentum of the Sanxuan sect in this world has declined slightly compared to seven or eight thousand years ago.From [-] to [-] years ago, there were at most seven Shangzhen in this sect, and it was once a pivotal force in the local lineage.

The middle-aged cultivator Luo Yuanzhen was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Even if Guyi Shangzheng sees that the head brother's face really agrees. However, it will take at least one year for the small transaction to be successful until the final result. So As far as Luo's practice is concerned, it will be very inconvenient."

The long-bearded monk Kong Yuanping was fishing happily at this moment, and he didn't seem to hear what Luo Yuanzhen meant.

But Dai Yuanying, the head of the sect, straightened his face and said in a low voice: "Junior Brother Luo seems to have a charter in his heart."

Luo Yuanzhen's eyes fluctuated, and suddenly he smiled, and said: "The scope of the holy religion is so vast. Although it is not as good as it was when it was at its peak, it still exists after all. Every time there is a 'small trade fair' between my hidden sect and the holy religion. , The products collected by the other party are also from different sources, and they are all gathered together. Brother, you know, where did the item 'Yuan Yuanshuang' come from under the rule of the Holy Teaching?"

Dai Yuanying asked slightly surprised: "Where?"

Luo Yuan really said: "It comes from the Lingzhu Dao Sect, one of the Eight Dao Sects of the Holy Sect."

Dai Yuanying said calmly, "So what?"

Luo Yuanzhen's voice suddenly became a little mysterious, and he said quietly: "If it was in the past, my Sanxuan Sect and Lingzhu Dao Sect would naturally have nothing to do with each other. Except for people with a cultivation level like you and me, even the lower disciples in the sect would have nothing to do with each other. I don't know which realm it is in, but I just heard its name."

"But now that the Yinzong's ley line teleportation array has been established, the transportation between the two sides is actually very cheap. It takes less than half a day to go from our sect's ancestral line teleportation array to Tianchenzong, and then switch to the Tianma clan's teleportation array."

Speaking of this, the long-bearded monk Kong Yuanping also came back to his senses, and said in astonishment: "Junior Brother Luo, you want to bypass the Yinzong and contact the Lingzhu Daozong alone? I'm afraid this is not good?"

After several struggles, the power of the holy religion gradually shrank, while the hidden sect gradually expanded, reaching a delicate balance.

Coupled with the fact that the goals of both sides are invariably turning to Taoism, rather than the actual population, geographical interests, etc., in fact, although the two sides are still in an antagonistic relationship, the battle line seems to have become long, rather than limited to one city and one place The gains and losses.

Even in terms of some practical interests, the two sides can also make some exchanges for mutual benefit.

This is where the "small trade fair" comes from.

However, it is still a very sensitive matter to contact the Holy Cult alone—even if it is only a Taoist sect in the Holy Cult.

Dai Yuanying said slowly: "In the matter of you taking Yuanyuanshuang, there is indeed some inconsideration in the alliance. But in general, the benefits of the Yinzong's integration into one, and the benefits of our sect still account for an absolute majority. Most of them. Now there are three more disciples who are expected to make progress in the sect. The reason why their potential has improved again is because of Yao Chun and Lu Jian, who really dismantled the suspense in the three realms of heaven and man, so as to benefit from it. Only one, The strength of our school has gone a step further.”

Luo Yuanzhen said hesitantly: "Although there are many benefits, they have not fallen into my hands."

In fact, this sentence is a bit explicit and harsh.But the three of his brothers and sisters have a very close friendship, and they have no outsiders and no taboos.

Kong Yuanping said: "Although the path is clear, it may not be appropriate for you to ask rashly. Why did Lingzhu Daozong agree to make this case for you?"

Luo Yuanzhen shook his head and said: "Senior Brother Kong doesn't know something. Three months ago, I happened to travel outside and met a person. It was Lingzhu Daozong who was in charge of Nengshangshangzhen. I hit it off with him. Day, just dispersed."

Dai Yuanying and Kong Yuanping were astonished when they heard the words.

Seeing that the two looked hesitant, Luo Yuanzhen immediately added: "Senior brothers, don't misunderstand. This person is able to drink the truth, is indifferent and open-minded by nature, and has been close to the ancestral court of the Holy Church. Under his rule, the Lingzhu Dao Sect It is no different from a country within a country, except that it is enough to complete the offerings stipulated by the ancestors of the holy religion."

"If this sect associates with him, it will be Sanxuanmen and Lingzhu Taoist sect alone, and has nothing to do with the holy religion. You two don't have to worry about the infiltration of the holy religion, or melon fields and plums going down."

When Dai Yuanying heard the words, he hesitated.

If it was two or three hundred years ago, there would be no need to think about such a situation, he would absolutely not allow it.

But now [-]% of the [-]% energy of the holy religion is based on the establishment of the "Shinto method".The so-called Lingzhu Daozong is like a country within a country, there is no doubt that what Luo Yuanzhen said is true.

However, the root cause of this situation is not that Cangshang Zhen is indifferent and open-minded, but that the Holy Cult has relaxed its control over the Eight Dao Sects.

In addition, Wuling's reassurance pill is indeed very important for Luo Yuanzhen's practice.

Luo Yuanzhen paced slowly on the water, waiting for Dai Yuanying's attitude.

At this moment, a golden arrow suddenly pierced through the void and came straight to this small world.

Dai Yuanying took a look, his face slightly surprised.

Kong Yuanping said: "Brother, what happened?"

Dai Yuanying said: "It's the succession ceremony of Ban Shizong's head, and I'm invited to watch the ceremony."

Kong Yuanping was slightly taken aback, and said, "Ban Shizong?"

Immediately reacting, he said, "Return to Wugui's disciple, Huang Xiyin?"

Dai Yuanying said: "Exactly. In fact, this matter has been stipulated for a long time. After Huang Xiyin achieves the near-dao state, he will take over as the head of the Banshi sect. But now the disciples of the Banshi sect seem to be unable to wait. Wave after wave of promotion Going on, we must urge her to succeed to the throne in advance. I am afraid that this key person will get lost halfway."

Kong Yuanping twisted his beard and said: "This Huang Xiyin's Taoism must be a short-cut path to the Nascent Soul Realm in one step. If so, her current cultivation level is only a thin line away from my generation, and it is not too abrupt to complete the succession ceremony."

Luo Yuan was really a little impatient, and said: "Brother, you should give me an accurate account of what you just said."

Dai Yuanying said sternly: "I, the Three Xuanmen, should not have anything to do with the holy religion."

Luo Yuanzhen frowned first, then his eyes lit up, and said: "Junior brother, I understand."
