Chapter 23 I Just Ask
"The descendants of humans and demons are called half-demons." Zhu Qingyun said: "Although half-demons are born tyrannical, they cannot cultivate due to sudden blood pulse. This female disciple is different. She said that she is cultivating from the head of the Frost Leaf Sect. The unique cultivation method, many masters in the Taoist sect specially competed with her for this, all confirmed this point - her strength comes from acquired cultivation, not just blood inheritance."

"This caused an uproar in Xuanmen."

"Then Frostleaf Sect began to recruit more disciples. They claimed that they didn't care about talent, and that there was no distinction between teaching and learning. As long as you have the heart to seek the Tao, you can enter Frostleaf Sect."

"The half-demon tribe in Cangwu Field, two of the three major tribes, have sent their best descendants to join the Shuangyemen, and set aside a beautiful land to establish a sect for the Shuangyemen. .”

"On the human side... some people's parents are monks, but they don't have a fairy fate. The Frost Leaf Gate has given them hope. They all went to Shuangyemen to learn from their masters, they have no roots in Xuanmen, but they have great energy in the world."

"The Frost Leaf Gate grew stronger almost overnight."

"It's useless just because there are too many people?" Li Chuan asked.

"Other sects also think the same way, it's just a bunch of mobs." Zhu Qingyun narrated, "The Xuantai Spiritual Light Meeting will be held once every ten years, and each sect will be led by an elder with the best disciples of the new generation. Let’s participate, discuss and exchange ideas.”

"That year, the Shuangye Sect took the top six of the new generation, and among the top six, two were half-demons, and the other four were ordinary people who were considered by other sects to have no celestial fate."

"Shuangyemen's technique?" Li Chuan immediately grasped the point.

Zhu Qingyun nodded, "There is still burning incense. When the Xuantai Lingguang meeting was about to end, the people from Shuangyemen invited everyone to taste incense. After a stick of incense, everyone woke up from meditation. Some people broke through, some of people had an epiphany...almost all of them felt lifted."

"Is there a problem with Xiang?" Li Chuan guessed.

"Everyone suspects that there is something wrong with Xiang.

"Since ancient times, the ancestors have used incense to communicate with ghosts and gods, praying for protection and guidance. If there is a ghost or god standing behind the Shuangye Gate, or a similar existence, then this kind of breakthrough and epiphany is an illusion. Xuanmen The Chinese followed this line of thought for a long time to investigate."

"However, burning incense does not point to any known or unknown existence. Breakthroughs and epiphanies are also reflected in the growth of strength."

A few drops of cold spring water splashed onto Li Chuan's face.

Zhu Qingyun continued to say: "Then, everyone began to suspect that there was something wrong with Shuangyemen's exercises. Soon, all sects obtained Shuangyemen's exercises through various channels, and some of the exercises were difficult to explain. Apart from the tedious and repetitive parts, it is just an ordinary book of earth-level exercises."

"After no matter how I checked, more monks began to defect to Shuangyemen. Many monks, even famous for a long time, defected from the sect, just to burn a stick of incense in order to break through. For a time, Frostleafmen Faintly has the appearance of the first sect of Taoism."

"Until the Dongchuang incident happened."

Li Chuan asked, "How did you find out?"

Zhu Qingyun said: "This involves many secrets inside the sect, so I don't know much about it."

"I understand, just tell me what you can say." Li Chuan expressed his understanding.

Zhu Qingyun went on to say: "After the Dongchuang incident, the major sects joined together and finally found the secret of Shuangyemen."

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and gritted her teeth.

Although she did not personally participate in the Frost Leaf Rebellion more than 20 years ago, even though she only heard about it from her master, every time she thought about this secret, she would feel a chill rise from the bottom of her heart.

The wind brushed the leaves, and the shadows swayed under the cold moon.

Zhu Qingyun's voice permeated the night.

"Plum Yellow, the name of that burning incense."

"The smoke is intertwined into an illusion, and it turns into the appearance that the monks most desire. In the illusion, people and the sky are integrated, and countless Taoism pours in, and the road of cultivation suddenly opens."

"Since then, they have become puppets of the illusion, stubbornly walking along the wrong road, until the illusion is shattered, and everything dissipates."

Li Chuan half-understood and half-understood, he asked: "Illusion, it's a fake, isn't the strength verified to be stronger?"

"Because the illusion connects them together, their realm and power can be shared." Zhu Qingyun replied.

Dark clouds covered the moonlight in her eyes.

"Then do they know?" Li Chuan asked.

"I don't know."

Li Chuan felt a little unbelievable, "So, the breakthrough and growth of strength is to ask about the strength and realm borrowed from others?"

"Yes, the tedious and repetitive parts of the Shuangyemen's exercises are just to cover up this." Zhu Qingyun spoke faster, "So they don't look at the talents and roots to recruit disciples, so they use Burning incense epiphany to attract masters, so they are not afraid of offending other sects!"

Li Chuan still couldn't understand, he asked: "Then how do they control and distribute it? That is to say, their strength and realm are a total amount, so how does everyone know how much to borrow, that is... and the strength of this realm is limited." The upper limit, right, the person who comes in with the highest strength realm, how can his strength realm increase?"

After Zhu Qingyun was silent for a while, she said: "The higher the realm, the stronger the strength, the harder it is to improve, and the fewer opponents at the same realm.

"Therefore, the illusion of a breakthrough given to them by the illusion should have been discovered after a long time, but there was an accident."

Li Chuan understood.

Zhu Qingyun did not explain the "accident", she said: "As for the secret of how to control the distribution, only those core members of the Shuangyemen know.

"Now the Frost Leaf Gate has been destroyed."

Zhu Qingyun closed his eyes, "The Immortal has made a move, united with all sects of the Taoist sect, and set up the Jade Fresh Moon Formation between heaven and earth by means of thunder."

"Don't ask about the past, regardless of your status, as long as you are from the Shuangyemen, as long as you have tasted plum yellow, you will be strangled and hunted down to the end!"

Li Chuan smelled blood from Zhu Qingyun's words.

Her voice trembled, "In just three months, the three major clans of half-monsters merged into one clan. Almost all the seeds of the younger generation of the human race died. The monster clan suffered the least loss, but three demon kings also fell."

Something flashed through Li Chuan's mind, and he asked directly without thinking, "What would happen if an immortal was tricked into Shuangyemen?"

"Impossible!" Zhu Qingyun's voice suddenly became louder, and then, as if she had thought of something, she repeated in a low voice, "Impossible, the illusion is an illusion after all, it is not real, and it is impossible to deceive the immortal. "

Li Chuan didn't expect Zhu Qingyun's reaction to be so strong, he said: "I don't understand these things, so I'll ask."

Zhu Qingyun sank into his thoughts, "If there are real immortals, this scam may never be discovered. Fortunately, there are no immortals behind the Shuangye Gate."

The shadow of the leaves enveloped the upper half of Zhu Qingyun's face.

She lowered her eyes, and the shadows of her eyelashes were hidden in the layers of tree shadows.

The sound of water rushing.
