That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 27

After reaching a stalemate, if you want to get out of this situation, the only way is to have another spoiler to make the two sides in the inn lose their balance, whether it is the hidden guard or the Demon Town Hall.

Xu Beiyou has been watching with cold eyes, and now he has gradually figured out the ins and outs of the whole matter. As the master said, the encounter at the Longmen Inn this time was not accidental, but a mutual test between the dark guard and the Town Demon Palace, especially so With the road blocked by wind and sand, ordinary people can't come in, and this small Longmen Inn has become an "island on the sea". I'm afraid the inn has already turned into a massacre.

As for what the two sides are testing, they are actually very clear. The imperial court has long wanted to suppress the momentum of the Taoist sect, and even suppress the Taoist sect in an all-round way. To test the reaction of the Daoist sect, it was just that I accidentally got involved in the matter of Chonglongguan, and involved the "remnants of the sword sect" of the master, the Tianzi name, which made the whole thing complicated and confusing.

The matter of Chonglongguan has not been done to the fullest, and there are even people who know that Yun escaped. Of course, the Anwei Mansion, who knows it is wrong, is not willing to tear itself apart with the Daoist sect now. The blame was put on Jianzong.However, the Daoist sects, especially the Town Demon Hall, which has been dealing with the Dark Guard Mansion for many years, are not so easy to fool. In their view, whether it is the sword sect's action or not, the Dark Guard Mansion must be involved, so the investigation judge The radical faction of Zhenmo Temple, represented by others, clung to the hidden guards, planning to take advantage of this matter to attack the hidden guards, while the moderate faction of Zhenmo Temple, represented by Ye Zui and others, began to vigorously search for Zhiyun's whereabouts , and strive to suppress this matter in a smaller range.

As for the Lord of the Town Demon Palace overlooking the 360 ​​Taoist priests of the Town Demon Palace, he doesn't really care about such trivial matters as the main battle or the Lord's reconciliation. After Dust died, the whereabouts of the fairy sword were completely unknown.

If so, he wouldn't mind taking action himself to take off the head of the remnant of the Sword Sect. It would be best if he could return the fairy sword that the ancestor of the Sword Sect took away from the Taoist sect to its original owner.

When Xu Beiyou heard the master talking about this passage, he realized that the master is not really invincible, and if he is really invincible, why bother to go all over the world, directly kill the Taoist school, and restore the sword sect, wouldn't it be better?
The storm is raging, and ordinary people can't walk through it at all, but those who can be regarded as disruptors are naturally not ordinary people.

This time, the uninvited guest did not push the door, because the door of the inn had been completely sealed by the guys, but appeared in the inn out of thin air by means of escapism.

The person who came was an old woman who looked about seventy-seven years old, and was born with a short stature. Although it could be vaguely seen from the face that she must have been a beauty when she was young, but she couldn't escape the principle that a beauty is not allowed to see gray hair. When she gets old, her face will become ugly , the old woman had a gloomy face again, without the kindness unique to the elderly, only full of evil spirits.

The old woman's eyes scanned the inn lobby for a week, and finally fell on Xu Beiyou.

A pair of eyes are yellow on the outside and black on the inside, and their vision is cloudy and gloomy like a ghost car, making Xu Beiyou look like a light on his back.

Xu Beiyou looked at the old woman and said with a smile, "Meng Po."

The old woman looked surprised and said, "You recognize me?"

Xu Beiyou bowed his hands and saluted, "Senior's appearance is different from ordinary people, and he is sitting at the same table with the prosecutor, so his identity is naturally self-evident, and he can only be the No. Po."

There is an old saying, "The person who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy."

Since the old man is a member of the Sword Sect and has been hunted down by the Demon Town Hall for many years, he naturally knows this mysterious and gloomy institution well known to outsiders. Along the way, he also gave Xu Beiyou a detailed introduction to this so-called "Taoist Secret Guard" The Demon Suppressing Hall, especially the 36 chief deacons who occupy more than half of the superstructure in the Demon Suppressing Hall.

In the last years of the Great Chu Dynasty, Houjian Demon Sect flourished for a while, and then Jian army invaded the Central Plains, causing Confucianism Sect, one of the three religions, to fall apart.At that time, Taoist and Buddhist sects, both of the three religions, joined forces to resist the demon sect. The Buddhist sect established eight tribes, while the Taoist sect began to vigorously elevate the status of the demon temple.

In the last years of the Dazheng Dynasty, after the fall of Jianzong, the masters of the sect fled one after another. The Daren Mingchen suggested to Tianchen, the master of the peak at that time, to rectify the Temple of Demons, and separate the previous "civilian institutions" such as Zongsheng Pavilion and Butianque. , and then transfer the elite disciples of other major palaces into the Demon Suppressing Hall, making the Demon Suppressing Hall a secret organization with the supremacy of force, specially targeting the fish that slipped through the net of Jianzong.

Over the past few decades, how many sword immortal figures with high cultivation bases have died at the hands of the Town Demon Temple?
In the heyday of Jianzong, the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall, which was dedicated to fighting against the Demon Suppressing Hall, completely disappeared, and all the masters were killed or injured.

Of course, during this period, the Temple of Suppressing Demons was also damaged, even the 36 chief deacons were no exception, but every time there was a death or injury, someone would fill the vacancy immediately. .If one wants to be among the 36 great deacons, one must have the realm of ghosts and immortals, but the top ones have even reached the realm of human immortals. As far as the old man knows, there are Emperor Fengdu, Wufang Ghost Emperor, and Ksitigarbha King. More than a dozen people, including Yan Luo of the Ten Halls, are all in the realm of human immortals, and it is very likely that Emperor Fengdu and King Ksitigarbha have already set foot in the legendary realm of immortals.As for No. 36, the Temple of Suppressing Demons, which is rarely seen in the world, its magnificence is beyond guessing.

An expert in the realm of the earth fairy is enough to establish a sect in other places, but in the Taoist sect, he is just the master of the palace, which shows the profound foundation of the Taoist sect.

Xu Beiyou couldn't help sighing after listening to it. Unless a celestial being descended into the world, it would be foolish to overthrow the Taoist sect. Thinking back to the founder of the Sword Sect back then, what a genius, there are 36 swords left in the world, and only twelve of them are enough. To create an invincible Earth Immortal, but even such a character is only a reverse of Taoism.No wonder Master never mentioned revitalizing the Sword Sect, he was completely disheartened.Things in the world, the despair after the ups and downs, that is the real despair.

With the help of Granny Meng, the prosecutor and judge, who had been alone and helpless, was full of confidence again at this time, and his tone became calm, and he said slowly to Xu Beiyou: "A husband who refines qi, calms his mind and rests calmly." , the original stillness is continuous, and the breath enters the dantian. The breath moves in the navel, and it continues continuously. Holding the navel with both hands, the dan fire is warm, the six roots are stable, and the things are forgotten. Young man, the qi mechanism in your body is full of dragons and tigers, and the water and fire blend together. It is clearly the path of my Taoist school, the dragon and tiger alchemy. Since my Taoist school became the leader of the world, I don’t know how many branches and leaves have spread, and all kinds of methods have been spread all over the world, so I don’t care where your teacher came from, just learned from me The way of the Dao Sect requires the respect of the Dao Sect, if you help the old man get rid of these hidden guards today, that will fulfill the love of the Dao Sect, even if you want to enter the Dao Sect and become a guest in the future, it is not impossible."

Meng Po smiled flatly and said: "Let the old woman block this little girl later, and judge the judge, you go and lure Duanmuyu's backhand out. As for this little brother, just use these dozen or so fourth-rank cultivators. The useless hidden guards are slaughtered, how about it, isn't it difficult?"

Xu Beiyou, who was stared at by everyone, finally failed. He couldn't continue to keep his expression on. He said bitterly and helplessly: "The two chief deacons are both masters in the world. It's unreasonable to care about a junior like me, right?"
