Journey to the head

Chapter 118
"Oh? Is there any additional news?"

Lin Le rationalized his thoughts: "I found that in the past half month, in various shops in Shazhoufang, the sales volume of talismans has increased by [-]% on average, and the sales volume of elixirs has increased by [-]% on average. And these materials are basically all It was purchased by the disciples of Shahe Gang."

Lu Gan raised his eyebrows and his eyes lit up: "Preparing for war?"

Lin Le nodded: "The disciples also guessed the same. They thought they were doing it more secretly and did not concentrate their purchases in a certain store, but the sales of many stores have increased greatly. I learned from the mortal servants of several stores There, similar results were detected.”

Lu Gan stood in front of the map of Chongming County and calculated it carefully.

Half a month ago, the Chaosheng Sect was still there, and the Shahe Gang began to prepare for war. Was it planning to fight the sect in the northwest again?
This is great news for the Yunshan Sect and the Frost Leaf Alliance.

"It's beyond my expectation to be able to find out so much information." Lu Qian did not hesitate to praise Lin Le, "I will give you a lot of merit points this time. But this information alone can't be relied upon." Mortal servants are not so detailed, right?"

Lin Le smiled sheepishly: "Master Mingjian. The Shahe Gang expanded too fast and recruited many casual cultivators. The gang became a mess, but it was far inferior to our vibrant Yunshan Sect. In Shazhoufang, There are all kinds of people from all three religions. The disciples thought of some ways and used some spiritual stones. With the help of Junior Brother Zheng Duan and others, they soon became familiar with several disciples who were hanging around in the Shahe Gang and lazy people in the city. ”

Well, this gang seems to be loose in strength, its disciples are not united, and its actions are lazy and omissions occur, so preparations for war cannot be concealed.There is something here that can be used in the future.

Lu Gan nodded with a smile, praised a few more words, and then gave Lin Le a half-day off and asked him to go back and have a good rest before reporting to Jiang Qingfeng tomorrow.

Lin Le suppressed the excitement in his heart, bowed respectfully, and retreated from the master's courtyard.

Walking on the granite path, with lush ancient trees in front of him, and surrounded by the refreshing spiritual energy, Lin Le felt relaxed and at ease.

It was very different from a dozen days ago. Along the way, I didn’t see any disciples wandering around with nothing to do.When I met the two of them by chance, they were also in a hurry. They said hello to me and walked away quickly.

Lin Le knew that these disciples were either learning to grow elixirs and plants, refining elixirs and weapons, or practicing martial arts. Everyone was very busy, and they were busy on their own initiative.On the way to practice, the Yunshan Sect has given them too much support. As long as they want to learn, they have precious secret book collections and sufficient training resources. If they learn, they will get merit points, which can be redeemed by themselves.

At present, everyone feels that the future is bright. Whether it is for cultivation or to replace the white feathers on their arms with silver feathers as soon as possible, they all work hard, creating a good atmosphere of chasing each other.

Now Lin Le has gradually become accustomed to the title "Senior Brother Lin" and the three silver feathers on his left arm.Although he still has desires in his heart, he has gradually understood that everyone's talents are different, and he may not be able to go very far in his cultivation. Only by contributing more to the sect's affairs can he repay the master's kindness. .

But no matter what, we should at least strive to advance to the middle stage of Qi training and master the power of "driving things", right?Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to be a monk, and it would not be worthy of the status of second-class inner sect and deacon of the sect given by the master.

In his wild thoughts, Lin Le had arrived in front of his house.This is a three-story small building assigned to him by Lu Gan. It is a single-family house so that he can support his mother. There are only twelve such small buildings in the entire Bichao Mountain.Standing in front of the door now, I feel grateful to Lu Qian again.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door. Just as he was about to speak, he heard brisk footsteps behind the door.With a creak, the door opened, and the girl with a surprised face shouted happily: "Brother Le, you are back!"

Lin Le smiled: "Well, I'm back, Yanmei."

Nearly two months have passed, perhaps because of adequate nutrition and nourishment by spiritual energy, Wu Yan, who was originally thin and small, has grown a bit, her skin has become fairer, and her figure has gradually transformed into a slim figure.

She happily took Lin Le's hand and walked to the living room: "Brother Le, you must be very tired after being out for so many days. Take a breath first, and I will prepare a meal for you."

Just as Lin Le was about to speak, the woman heard the noise and hurriedly came down from upstairs and shouted: "Le'er is back?"

"Mom, I'm back." Lin Le said with a smile on his face.Living in this fairyland, my mother's body has completely recovered, but there is nothing to do here, and she is busy all day long.The woman didn't position herself correctly at first. She wanted to find a job as a servant in the Immortal sect several times, but Lin Le stopped her in a fit of laughter and tears.

Later, the woman realized that her son had a very high status among these immortal masters, and if she worked by herself, she would be embarrassed for her son.Then he gave up happily and proudly, and his gratitude to Lu Qian deepened. He knelt down to Lu Qian's longevity tablet every morning and evening.

"Godmother." Wu Yan shouted lively.

It turned out that when Lin Le was about to move with his mother, the woman couldn't bear to see Wu Yan, who had watched her grow up, continue to suffer in the shantytown. She also understood her affection for Lin Le, even though she knew that there was a huge gap between the two of them. After struggling, he finally came up with a compromise and adopted Wu Yan as his goddaughter and took her with him.As for the future, it all depends on God’s will.

Now she spends time with Wu Yan, and she loves this smart, sensible, diligent and virtuous girl very much. She secretly sighs a lot for the things that happened between them.

They haven't seen each other for several days and are very affectionate.Lin Le talked about the experience of this trip and all the new things in Shazhoufang, which made the woman and Wu Yan exclaim in surprise and look forward to it.

After talking for a while, Lin Le wanted to take a bath and change clothes. Wu Yan was busy preparing hot water for him, packing clothes, and placing things for bathing.If Lin Le hadn't firmly refused, the girl might have waited for him to bathe the whole time.

After bathing and changing clothes, Mother Lin made an excuse and left time and space for the two of them.

Looking into Wu Yan's eyes, Lin Le was also very panicked.He had been childhood sweethearts with Wu Yan since childhood. When he grew up, he was naturally aware of Wu Yan's feelings, and a youthful and ignorant love sprouted in his heart.But everything is different now.

He has become a member of the Immortal Sect. As long as his Qi training is slightly effective, his lifespan will be greatly increased. If he can advance to the later stage of Qi training, he will have a life span of 200 years.And they can maintain their youthful appearance for a long time until their life span is over.In this way, if you marry a mortal woman, even if you can be happy for decades, you will see your partner's face age, his body shrink, and he will slowly die of old age for most of his life. This will be so painful.

If it's going to be so painful, it's better to cut off the love now.

But whenever I want to say cruel words, I see Wu Yan's pure eyes like a deer and her pitiful expression, and I can't say anything.

Lin Le had no choice but to escape.

"Yanmei, have you learned the words I taught you last time?" Lin Le changed the subject in a panic.

Wu Yan nodded happily: "I have learned everything, and I also learned to read a lot of books when you were not around." The two came to the study room, where there were various books and books. This is where Lin Le handles the internal affairs of the sect on a daily basis and learns the secrets of martial arts.In order to find something for Wu Yan to do, he proposed to teach Wu Yan how to read and write. Unexpectedly, the girl learned quickly and now she has learned all the commonly used words.

The two stayed in the study for more than an hour. Lin Le taught Wu Yan some uncommon words. After all, he was a little tired from traveling long distances, so he went to rest first, leaving Wu Yan alone to practice in the room.

After practicing for a while, Wu Yan also stopped writing.Looking at the messy books piled around the table and stuffed into the bookcases, she immediately started to sort them out.She had also helped Lin Le organize the study several times, classifying all kinds of books and books with ease.

At this moment, she suddenly saw a few silk volumes that she had never seen before among the books.

Picking up a book, Wu Yan read out the words on the cover one by one: "Kun...yuan...chang...chun...gong. Kunyuan Changchun Gong?"

With doubts and confusion, the girl opened the silk book.

In the small courtyard of the leader, Lu Gan has written two letters and plans to send them to Linglu Sect and Shahe Gang respectively.In the letter, Lu Gan, as the leader of the Frost Leaf Alliance in the South of Chongming County, invited Yin Hongbo, the leader of the Linglu Sect, and Han Wen, the leader of the Shahe Gang, to talk about it in the Xuanguang Sect's Baojingfang.

Now that the five southern factions have formed an alliance, the Yunshan Sect has no worries behind them.The two factions in the Northeast and the two factions in the Northwest are at loggerheads. The Frost Leaf Alliance has the initiative in its own hands whether to have good relations with the two neighboring factions in the Northeast or to contact the two factions in the Northwest.

It all depends on the outcome of this contact.

If the registration had not been completed within one month, Lu Gan would have kept silent and waited a little longer, until the Shahe Gang really took action and the two sides were in a fight before contacting him. It might have been better.

But I have already asked Zhou Chao. This Xuanguang sect is very cruel, and Jindan Zhenren is moody. Although he does not care about the life and death of the sects in the county, once he disobeys the rules he has set, the consequences will be tragic.

There are only about ten days left, so we must move forward with this matter.

If the Zhou family does not decline significantly now, and the Yunshan sect's economic situation can reach the level of the Chaosheng sect, the Frost Leaf Alliance can collectively invest and hire another foundation-building guest minister, and the waist can be strengthened.Unfortunately, the combined income of the five sects now does not reach the annual salary of Ji Ji Keqing, so we have to give up.

Lu Gan handed the letter to his disciples and ordered two inner disciples to go and deliver the letter. They should turn back when they arrived and not stay to avoid trouble.

At this time, in the Linglu Sect's main hall, the leader Yin Hongbo, the great elder Zhuang Qing and other elders were listening to the disciples' report on the Yunshan Sect's situation.

The journey to Yunshan Sect's territory was unexpectedly smooth, but also unexpectedly unsatisfactory.

It was smooth because the spies encountered no obstacles at all along the way. There were not even a single Yunshan disciple among the mortal counties and towns.The spies came to the vicinity of Bichao Mountain and watched from a distance.

The only problem is that if you don't have half a monk, where can you go to find out the news?It was only confirmed that Bichao Mountain was indeed occupied by the Yunshan Sect, and all the territory of the Chaosheng Sect was swallowed up by the Yunshan Sect.One of the disciples had an idea and wanted to see if he could steal the spiritual seedlings. As a result, he arrested a few mortals and asked, only to find out that the Yunshan Sect had just screened them a few days ago.

After lurking near Bichao Mountain for several days, the entire Bichao Mountain was quiet and quiet, with only the disciples keeping watch high up in the sky and the mountain-protecting formation in operation.There was no way to start, and the spies along the way had to return without success. Yin Hongbo was very depressed.

He discussed it with Zhuang Qing and guessed that the Yunshan Sect had just destroyed the Chaosheng Sect, and things were complicated and they had not had time to station disciples in all directions.

Fortunately, the spies sent to the Zhou family successfully returned with a lot of news.

"Master, we made inquiries in the nearby market and caught two lone monks. They were disciples of the Zhou family's former vassal sect. We used some means to pry open their mouths and got a lot of money. Useful news. The disciples handled it very cleanly, leaving no traces."

The elegant-looking leader stroked his long beard and nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, tell me quickly."

As the disciple narrated, pieces of information were sorted out, and Yin Hongbo's expression became worse and worse.

Yunshan Sect is a sect that suddenly appeared in Chongming County.In the beginning, he was just an ally of the Zhou family. He used some tricks to not only lead the three factions to severely defeat the two vassals of the Chaosheng clan, but also helped the Zhou family to repel the Chaosheng clan's attack. After that, he lived on Lotus Peak.

Later, the Chaoshengmen attacked the Zhou family again, and the Zhou family was about to be destroyed.As a result, the Yunshan Sect descended again with divine soldiers, gathered up the remnants of the army, and marched straight towards Bichao Mountain. They lured the Chaosheng Sect to build a foundation and return to defense. They set up an ambush halfway and directly killed Zhang Shouchang and others.

After that, the Yunshan Sect led the Zhou family and the three sects to attack the Bichao Mountain, wipe out the monks of the Chaosheng Sect, completely destroy the Chaosheng Sect, and now occupy the Bichao Mountain.

Just a few days ago, the Yunshan Sect, the Zhou Family, and the three sects had formed an alliance to advance and retreat together to help each other, known as the Frost Leaf Alliance.

Now the entire southern end of Chongming County has become a whole.

However, it was not just this that made Yin Hongbo shocked and angry, but——

"Absurd! Since Yunshan Sect can achieve such a record, how come there is only one Foundation Builder? Are you being fooled, or are you making up some stories to fool me?"

The disciple was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said loudly: "You are wronged, Master. I tortured them severely and broke more than 20 of their bones. Everything you asked must be true!"

Even Zhuang Qing frowned: "This Frost Leaf Alliance has only one foundation builder now. This is too unreasonable."

But the disciple turned over and over again and said that this was what he asked. Yin Hongbo waved his hand impatiently and told him to get out.Behind closed doors, I asked the elders for their opinions.

The elders had different opinions. In the end, Zhuang Qing concluded: "After all, what they captured was just two ordinary disciples. They may not necessarily understand the truth of the matter. Many things were spread by lies. In my opinion, it is most likely that what the Yunshan Sect showed There is only one Foundation Establishment, but there are actually other Foundation Establishment forces hidden inside, so we must not be careless and fall into their trap."
