Taiqing Sword

Chapter 84, Secrets of the Holy Land

"Brother, is this forbidden area really so dangerous? Even the two elder brothers have to be so careful?" Shangguan Jinghong asked in surprise.

Cang Ming smiled: "Third brother, don't you really think that your second brother and I's skills are invincible?"

"Of course I don't think so, but I think the world is so big that you should be able to go there, right?"

"Third brother, you think highly of your second brother, do you know how big this day is? In this river and lake, my eldest brother and I can be said to be alone in martial arts, but when it comes to the Holy Land, it can only be regarded as a low-level one." Youquan laughed at himself. .

Shangguan was stunned: "Holy land? What holy land?"

"The third brother has never heard of the Holy Land?" Shangguan Jinghong shook his head slowly.

Cang Ming said: "It seems that the third brother really doesn't know much about this Jianghu, does the third brother know that there are also three grades in this Jianghu?"

At this moment, Shangguan Jinghong's world seemed to be completely overturned by Cang Ming and You Quan: "Brother, what are the three grades?"

"Hey, forget it, let me tell you from the beginning, the low-grade Jianghu is an ordinary secular martial arts, with three religions and nine streams, and the martial arts are uneven. Just like the Twelve Great Sects of the Central Plains, and some affiliated sects of our Demon Sect, their strengths are quite substantial. Generally speaking, there are not many intersections between the middle-rank Jianghu and the lower-rank Jianghu, but they are constantly fighting with each other. As for the upper-rank Jianghu, Third brother, you are already in it, just like me and your second brother's strength, you are already among the best in the high-rank Jianghu."

Shangguan Jinghong didn't know until today that there are so many Taoists in Jianghu, so Lin Zhan of Weiyuan Escort Bureau should be a person in the lower-rank Jianghu, and Ziwu Palace, Shuiyue Palace, etc. are naturally middle-rank Jianghu. The Great Aristocratic Family and Kunlun Mountain should barely squeeze into the top-ranking ranks. As for the Buddhist Sect and the Demon Sect, there is no need to say: "It turns out that the rivers and lakes are still divided in this way. What about the Holy Land?"

"The Holy Land is terrible. The reason why my Demon Sect and the Buddha Sect have been fighting for many years is that we are at odds by nature. My Demon Sect advocates killing to improve skills, while the Buddha Sect advocates self-cultivation, although in my opinion they are just virtuous. .”

Cang Ming found a place to sit down beside the Huashen Water, and continued, "Third brother, there is a second reason, which is also the most important reason. The number of places and the selection of holy places are extremely picky. Our Demon Sect and the Buddha Zong is the most preferred sect in the Holy Land, but unfortunately there are too few places, only ten people can enter the Holy Land every hundred years, in the past, my Demon Sect could only occupy three, and the remaining Buddha Sect exclusively occupied five."

"Five? Isn't there a total of ten places? How about two?"

"Hehe, there are two more in Yinzong."

"Hidden sect? I've never heard of it."

"This hidden sect is the same as my demon sect and Buddha sect, but there are not many disciples, but all of them are extremely strong. If we fight alone, our demon sect may not be able to defeat them."

Shangguan Jinghong nodded stupidly, no matter whether it is the strange news record or other books, Shangguan Jinghong has never seen the word Yinzong, but now it suddenly popped up: "By the way, brother, I have heard of it, it is said that Many years ago, the Mozong meddled in the Central Plains Wulin and almost slaughtered the Central Plains Wulin, the Buddha Sect appeared to stop it, the two sides fought, and finally the Mozong was defeated, could it be because of the competition for the place?"

Youquan laughed: "Sure enough, did those old bald donkeys say that?"

"No, I heard it from an elder, isn't it true?"

"Bah, nonsense!"

Cang Ming reached out to stop Youquan: "That's right, the disciples of the Demon Sect did kill countless decent people back then, but it wasn't my Demon Sect who wanted to get involved in the Central Plains. In order to compete for the entry quota, the Sect Master of the Buddha Sect invited me to be a master of the Demon Sect Going to discuss the matter, the suzerain was in retreat at that time, so the great elder Yuan Rong took the four guardians of the Mozong, and Yuan Rong's little grandson."

"and after?"

"As soon as Yuanrong entered the Central Plains, Fozong immediately sent someone to look for him. Yuanrong left a guardian to look after his grandson, and took the other three people to Fozong. Everything went smoothly. Fozong uncharacteristically gave up a spot Although Yuan Rong felt strange, he did not doubt that he was there. He went happily and prepared to return to the Buddhist sect to return to his life. Who knew that when he went back to find his little grandson, he only saw the guardian who was seriously injured. The elder Yuan Rong was very anxious and hurriedly asked What happened, a group of men in black from the Dharma Guardian attacked him, and his little grandson was also taken away. Yuan Rong searched for it in fury for three days, until the fourth day, Yuan Rong heard that there was going to be a Demon Slaying Conference in the martial arts, Yuan Rong went to check, looking for the whereabouts of the little grandson, but when he arrived, the Demon Slaying Conference was over, and what was left at the venue was the headless corpse of Yuan Rong's grandson!"

Shangguan Jinghong waited silently for Cang Ming to continue.

"At that time, Yuan Rong's little grandson was just 11 years old. Yuan Rong often praised him as a genius, and his future achievements must be higher than his own. In a blink of an eye, he became a cold corpse. How could Yuan Rong not be angry? Bringing the corpse back to the Demon Sect, exactly Every time the suzerain leaves the customs, the suzerain hears this and is filled with grief and indignation, so he immediately selects more than a hundred masters of the demon sect, and kills them in the Central Plains. He wanted to stop him, but Yuan Rong was not willing to listen. He wiped out 22 sects in a row. Fozong appeared and repelled Yuan Rong. , fought with the Buddha sect and lost both sides, and had no choice but to return to the Mo sect."

"Brother, are you telling the truth?"

"Third brother, elder brother is a member of the Demon Sect, so it is inevitable that he speaks against the Demon Sect, but facts are facts."

"An 11-year-old child? Was it really killed by decent people?"

"I can't be sure about this, but when Yuan Rong brought back the body from the Central Plains, I saw that not only was he killed, but he also suffered endless torture during his lifetime."

"Brother, in fact, I have always suspected that this is a conspiracy by the Buddhist sect. Otherwise, how would those small sects know about Yuan Rong's appointment?"

"Second Brother has some things that we can't prove now. Unless the Buddha Sect admits it, we won't be able to verify it, but it doesn't matter if we verify it or not. We and the Buddha Sect are already sworn enemies."

Shangguan Jinghong couldn't believe that these were done by the Central Plains sect, did Ziwu Palace participate in it?What about the Water Moon Palace?
Youquan looked at Shangguan Jinghong with some strangeness, and said: "Third brother, these are all things in the past, it really doesn't matter anymore, let me tell you about the holy land. There are four holy lands, in fact, you It can also be understood as the four sects. The first holy place is the Holy Land of Hunyuan, and there are so many masters. Most of the Buddhist disciples who entered the holy place over the years chose the Holy Land of Hunyuan, and of course most of the disciples of the Yinzong also chose the Holy Land of Hunyuan. , the second holy land is Yaochi Holy Land, but Yaochi Holy Land has not selected disciples for many years, but its status is unshakable. The evil holy land, as for the fourth holy land, although it has always been called a holy land, but they have never seen them participate in any battles, it is called Guiyun Holy Land."

Shangguan Jinghong also forgot what happened just now: "Second brother, then you and eldest brother, what unique skills are you looking for this time, are you also preparing for the Holy Land?"

Cang Ming nodded: "That's right, the Maha Boundless Sutra has already appeared in the Buddhist sect, the strength of the Buddhist sect must be greatly increased, and it is even very possible that the suzerain of the Buddhist sect will heal from injuries and improve greatly. We must also Be more prepared."

Shangguan Jinghong chuckled, he couldn't tell what he felt, his elder brother and second brother were both members of the Demon Sect, logically speaking he was a decent person and should help the Buddha Sect, but in his heart he felt a little regretful about taking out the Maha Infinite Sutra.

After a long time, Cang Ming stood up and said, "Okay, if you want to know more, your second brother and I will tell you in detail after we leave the restricted area. You know how, although you have escaped the storm by relying on your magical skills, you must not take it lightly."

"Don't worry, big brother, second brother, I know everything."

The three of them spared the Huashenshui Lake and went deep all the way. Gradually, the mist rose. Shangguan Jinghong vaguely saw the piles of bones scattered all around him. He thought to himself, it seems that many people have been to the forbidden area before, and they all died in the forbidden area. Here it is, what's here?

Shangguan Jinghong was thinking, when suddenly a deep roar came from his ear, and he stopped hurriedly: "Brother, what's the sound?"

Cang Ming's face changed: "Our luck is not very good, this thing is usually sleeping, I don't know what happened, how could it wake up today."

Shangguan Jinghong felt hairy when he heard this: "What is it?"

Youquan smiled evilly: "Gaotie, have you heard of it?"

Shangguan Jinghong was immediately shocked on the spot: "Gaotie? Isn't that a divine beast? There are divine beasts here?"

"Third brother, don't listen to your second brother's nonsense. Taotie is just your second brother giving him a name. We don't know what to call this thing. Let's call it Taotie. Anyway, this thing has a strong body and is good at sucking human blood. The speed is extremely fast, it is not difficult to deal with one, but the scary thing is that these things are in groups, and it is impossible to guard against."

"Brother, what should we do then?"

"Luck and true energy body protection, don't let this thing stick to your body, otherwise, it will turn into a pile of dry bones in just a moment. Just look at the white bones all over the floor here, and you will know."

Shangguan Jinghong didn't dare to be careless and hurriedly used his true energy to protect his body, and followed Cang Ming and Youquan cautiously to walk in. After walking for a long time, he did not see anything, except for a few low growls from time to time.

Youquan also got a little impatient: "Brother, is this thing scaring us?"

"Hmph, these things have been here for many years. Countless people have broken into the forbidden area. They have been ghosts and ghosts for a long time. Maybe they are waiting for the moment when we relax."

Youquan gritted his teeth, loosened his zhenqi, and the body-protecting zhenqi disappeared in an instant. Sure enough, a group of gluttons suddenly flew out and only rushed towards Youquan...
