That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 313 Said the Gate 52 Years

At this time, the Yuqing Palace is like a temple.

In addition to the many palace masters, under the high white jade platform, there is also a row of Taoist priests in scarlet Taoist robes sitting cross-legged, like first-rank officials in the secular world, in stark contrast to the dark black Taoist robes of the peak masters on the stage.

If the master of the peak is compared to the honorable clan, and the master of the palace is compared to the important ministers of the cabinet center of the temple, then these masters of various Taoist sects wearing scarlet Taoist robes are the real officials of the frontier, and the power in their hands may not be the same. will be weaker than the former two.

At this time, Du Haichan, the master of Jiangnan Taoism, was also among them.

As everyone knows, the meeting of the immortals in Xuandu has set off a war in the world.

The city of Jiangdu was changing every day, especially under the premise that neither Du Haichan nor Qin Guangwang was in the Taoist workshop, the actions of Xu Beiyou and others became more and more rapid.

Jiangdu, Tianyuanfang, the back residence of the Qin Mansion.

Xu Beiyou and Qin Mumian walked side by side.

Said to be side by side, but in fact Xu Beiyou was still a little behind by half a body distance. It was a respect for the old concubine, and it also showed that as a junior, he was not qualified to truly be on an equal footing with the three Lafayettes.

Today's Xu Beiyou was full of thoughts, he hesitated to speak several times.

Qin Mumian asked softly, "Are you still worried about the Jiangnan Daomen?"

Xu Beiyou sighed in a low voice: "I made Aunt Qin laugh, this trip to the north is indeed a mind of gains and losses, but it's not about Jiangnan Taoism, but about Wu Lezhi's five-poison sword."

Qin Mumian smiled, "A poor man who is not well-known in the south of the Yangtze River can show his talents in the north of the Yangtze River. It is true that the oranges in Huainan are oranges, and the oranges in Huaibei are oranges."

Xu Beiyou was about to speak.

Qin Mumian waved his hand, stopped and pointed forward, and said, "Look there."

In the faint twilight, the two of them had already arrived in front of a magnificent two-story attic. The attic as a whole showed a faint red color, and there were continuous auras shooting out, like a poisonous snake spewing out letters, which was quite frightening.

Qin Mumian took the initiative to explain: "The twelve swords of Jianzong, although there is basically no distinction between superiority and inferiority, but because of the different masters of swordsmanship in the past, they will eventually be distinguished. Take Xuan Ming as an example. The master is Gongsun Zhongmou, so the power of his sword energy is second only to the sword master, which is Shangguan Xianchen's special sword. On the other hand, your Tianlan sword, no matter whether it is sword energy or divine will, the gap between the two is far more than The difference between cloud and mud?"

Xu Beiyou was a little helpless.

Jianzong pays attention to the unity of a person's sword. The power of the sword depends mostly on the strength of the sword master himself. Shangguan Xianchen is the best in the world, so his sword is second only to Zhu Xian's Twelve Swords. First of all, he is just a small human being in the realm of immortality, so naturally his sword Tianlan cannot be compared with it.

Xu Beiyou suddenly felt a pinprick pain on the back of his hand. When he looked intently, his face changed slightly.

I saw a few tiny red dots appearing on the back of my hand, with a little bit of blood oozing out.

Although Xu Beiyou has not yet cultivated the Supreme Sword Body to the level of "skin training", it is still several times stronger than the skin of ordinary people. The breath overflowing from the attic can pierce his skin, which is a bit unusual .

Xu Beiyou asked hesitantly, "Is it sword energy?"

Qin Mumian nodded and said: "After the overthrow of Jianzong, the twelve swords of Jianzong wandered around, and a small half of them were collected by Wei Wang Xiaojin, but he was not a member of Jianzong, and he could not enter because he had a treasure mountain. He also gave up the idea of ​​collecting the twelve swords of Jianzong, and began to send out the swords in his hands one after another. When he asked me for something, he gave me this scarlet sword."

Qin Mumian continued: "Chi practiced this sword probably because all the masters of the past generations died unexpectedly. The killing spirit is extremely strong. Xiao Jin sent me this sword probably because of evil intentions. I think I already have Hei Xuan. If I have another Chi Lian, maybe something will go wrong, he has such a temper since he was a child, no one can't plan, and we must be cautious when interacting with him."

Xu Beiyou didn't expect Qin Mumian to have contacts with His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and they still seemed to have a close relationship.

Qin Mumian saw what was going on in Xu Beiyou's mind, and said with a sneer, "Lin Yinping and I have always been at odds, and Xiao Jin was suppressed by this Empress Lin in a corner of the Wei Kingdom. Naturally, he has a grudge, so he wants to join forces with me. To do something, it's just that his plan is very big, and his intentions are unquestionable, so I took back Lin Yuan's kick at the last moment and did not continue to participate in it."

Xu Beiyou hesitated to speak.

Qin Mumian waved his sleeves, suppressed the air leaking out of the attic, and said bluntly: "I might as well tell you that what happened back then was not just about me, even your master Gongsun Zhongmou, even Murong Xuanyin and Qingchen were also involved." They all participated in it, but Gongsun Zhongmou and I withdrew at the last moment, as for the others, it is hard to say whether they are still involved."

Xu Beiyou was shocked and didn't know what to say for a moment.

To allow so many giants in the cultivation world to participate in it, and Qin Mumian said that "the plan is so big that its intentions cannot be questioned", the ambition of His Royal Highness King Wei can be seen.

Qin Mumian said indifferently: "Xiao Jin and Lin Han are the two major problems that Xiao Yu left for Xiao Xuan. When Xiao Yu was alive, they didn't dare to do anything. Now that Xiao Yu is gone, they may not take this nephew seriously. gone."

Xu Beiyou nodded and said: "Regarding this matter, I have heard Master mention it, but the old man is unwilling to talk about it, and judging from what Master has done, he finally chose Emperor Xiao's side. As for the specific inside story, Master I didn’t go into details, but my master also advised me not to delve into it too deeply, and he will explain my doubts to me after I can achieve the realm of the Earth Immortal.”

Qin Mumian smiled and said, "Since both Gongsun Zhongmou and Han Xuan don't want you to be involved too much in this matter, then I don't want to disobey them. Today's talk on this matter will stop here."

Xu Beiyou smiled helplessly.

Qin Mumian quickly changed the subject and said, "Have you ever wondered why for thousands of years, no matter how the world is turned upside down and the dynasty changes, Taoism has always been the first-class sect in the world?"

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "I've thought about it, but I haven't come up with an answer."

Qin Mumian sighed: "This is a problem that many people are struggling to solve, and in the end it can only be attributed to the word luck."

Xu Beiyou glanced at the attic in the distance, and retracted his gaze without a trace, "Then we still have to go against the trend?"

Qin Mumian said softly: "From the first year of Huanglong to the 22nd year of Taiping, Daomen has been prosperous for 52 years. During this nearly sixty years, the entire cultivation world has been prostrate at the feet of Daomen. The No. 1 real person in charge of teaching in the world, eight peak masters, seventeen pavilion masters including the master of the Demon Town Palace, the top ten chief deacons of the Town Demon Palace, and the four celestial masters of the Tianshi Mansion , plus the masters of the branches of Taoism in various places, such as Du Haichan of Jiangnan Taoism, the old people of the dust generation who retreated and ignored world affairs, and after that, there were also the twelve immortals of Taoism, such as Tianyun, Wuyunsou, Baiyunzi, Qi Xianyun, etc. Wait, which sect can compare to the profound foundation?"

"If the rest of the sects can really unite, they will indeed have the power to fight, but these sects are not just as simple as a mess, they even have enmity with each other, so some people say that as long as the Taoist sect is willing to sacrifice the entire sect The price of overthrow can even kill all other sects!"

Speaking of this, Qin Mumian showed nostalgia on his face, and murmured: "If Emperor Dazheng hadn't tried his best to reject Taoism, Xiao Yu would not have ruled the world in the future."

"It is precisely because of the support of the Daoist sect that Xiao Yu was able to go all the way like a broken bamboo, flatten the grassland, enter the Central Capital, conquer Shuzhou in the south, build after the Northern Expedition, reach the Northeast in the interior, and finally enter the Pass in the east, conquer the East Capital, sweep the north of the river, and set the Dingding for a great battle. After victory, sitting on the world, which one of them has no shadow of Taoism? It is not an exaggeration to say that Taoism has supported half of the Xiao family."

Qin Mumian said with a playful smile: "Xiao Yu named his son Xiao Xuan at the beginning, to put it bluntly, it was meant to please the Taoist sect, but unfortunately Xiao Xuan didn't want to understand his father's painstaking efforts, not only did he not want to have a Taoist sect on his head, He also wants to overthrow the Taoist sect to the ground and become the human emperor who rules the world, this is something Xiao Yu dared not do back then, it is really better than blue."

Xu Beiyou said in a low voice: "After all, His Majesty is born as a son after all, and he is a prince when he is young. He has inherited the throne at a young age, and he has climbed to the highest point of Qionglou. Naturally, his vision and ambition cannot be generalized with ours."

Qin Mumian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's the truth."
