You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

At the top of the mountain, Shi Zelan and Xia Yu said, "We can't just dig open that hole casually."

Xia Yu sighed and said, “The Guangming Sect opened such a hole back then and took so many precautions.

There must be dangers below that we are not aware of.

Whenever we make a decision, we must think about whether we can shoulder this responsibility.”

“Whatever you can see, you can think of ways to deal with it.

But if the invisible demon is released, we will be the biggest sinners in the world."

In the Yunyan Sect, Sect Leader Wen Hao personally visited the elders and listened to their opinions.

Everyone agreed that they should act cautiously and not make thorough preparations.

You can only guard the wind vent and never dig it open.

Shi Xiaoliu quickly returned to the top of the mountain. He told the people guarding the windward side that the sect’s temporary decision was to guard it first.

The people in the Zhishi Hall looked at each other and discussed with Shi Xiaoliu, "Brother, there are a lot of things going on on the other side of the river. Can we send some people over to help?"

"Go ahead. If you don't come, we will send one person to help."

On the first day, two people were left behind by the governor, and they, together with Shi Xiaoliu and the other two, inspected the conditions of the mountains and forests in various places.

The next day, after Shi Xiaoliu and the other two had a discussion, they said to them, "Since the sect's opinion on this wind outlet is to guard it, you can all go to the other side of the river to help."

On the third day, only Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were guarding the windward side. Shi Xiaoliu told Shi Zelan and Xia Yu the news he had heard in the sect.

There is hope that the Sect Master will come out of seclusion in the near future, but after he comes out, he will need to retreat to consolidate his realm, so the Acting Sect Master will also help manage the affairs of the sect.

After Xia Yu and Shi Zelan were happy, they became a little worried: "Our sect is developing so well now, it is easy to attract powerful enemies."

“My master said that the sect has experienced ups and downs for thousands of years, and at the most tragic time, there were only a few people left in the sect.

As long as the core spirit of the sect continues to exist, Yunyan Sect will prosper again and again no matter what. "

Xia Yu and Shi Zelan listened to Shi Xiaoliu's words and looked at him: "Xiaoliu, so you were worried about the same thing?"

Shi Xiaoliu looked at the two of them for a while and said, "I am not a heartless person. I can see that if the sect continues to develop like this, our sect will definitely become the number one sect in the world."

The three of them chatted for a while, then went to take a look at the wind vent. They saw the soil that had been turned over outside, but they didn't reach out to level it.

Shi Xiaoliu heard something in the Magical Instruments Hall this time, that there might be materials in the soil that the Magical Instruments Hall could use.

Shi Zelan received news from Master Fang Cheng and Master Ping Yang, both of whom said they couldn't come in the near future.

Shi Zelan told the news to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu, and they nodded in understanding: "The master is coming out of seclusion, which is a very big event for our sect."

Shi Xiaoliu continued, "Some people in the sect said that perhaps Sect Leader Wen couldn't bear to give up his position as Sect Leader."

"Chi.

The headmaster has not yet come out of seclusion, and some people want to disrupt the peace of our sect."

"Yeah, so I'll be back soon."

"How are the people in the Dharma Hall doing now?"

“Back in the sect, they can rest and recuperate in peace.

In a few days, someone from the Dharma Instrument Hall will come. We will then follow their instructions?"

Shi Zelan and Xia Yu nodded in agreement: "Okay."

The people from the Dharma Instrument Hall came over quickly, and they treated the turned-over mountain soil with great care.

They surrounded the wind outlet. After Shi Xiaoliu and the other two asked their senior brothers from the Magical Instruments Hall for their opinions, they decided to go to the other side of the river to help.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two went to the other side of the river for several days in a row. When they returned to Fengkou, they saw that the Dharma Instrument Hall was still busy with those piles of soil.

After the three of them got together to discuss some things, they sent a message to the sect. Soon, the sect replied. Shi Xiaoliu and the other two asked the manager of the Magical Instrument Hall for his opinion, knowing that they could not handle too much of this for the time being.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two said to the people from the Dharma Instrument Hall, “The three of us originally decided to go into the water once, but there has been no one to take over.

Now that you are here, the three of us will go into the water again."

The people from the Dharma Instrument Hall said that they would pass the message back to the sect. After the sect passed the message, he would come to Shi Xiaoliu and the other two to discuss the matter.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were naturally willing to wait. While waiting for news, they went outside the city gate and looked at the city wall that was being repaired.

The three of them carefully observed the shadows outside the city wall and found that the shapes would become brighter and lighter with the change of sunlight.

The three of them looked at it for a while with a sense of loss, then turned to the city gate and listened to people discussing the matter of officials in the city exterminating a family.

"They said that Lord Zhou's extermination of his family was related to his servants."

"An old servant of theirs has gone missing."

"The old servant found it. He found it in the utility room of the house next door."

"Why did you end up in someone else's utility room?"

"Yes, now that family has also been taken away for questioning by the government."

"what."

"Oh, stop talking. If an official comes here, he'll accuse us of talking too much."

“No more.

Now that the city wall has been repaired, we can return home as early as possible."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two went to the other side of the river and chatted with the people from the Governor's Hall about some gossip in and around the city.

The people in the governor's hall sighed and said, "The murder was so clean and efficient. That old servant must have played a role in it, but he was silenced."

"Is that family involved with him?"

"They are more or less related. At least the old servant found it in their utility room."

They talked about the collapse of the city wall again. The disciples of the Governor's Hall had been paying close attention to the movements inside and outside the city.

As a result, people inside and outside the city had a unified understanding of the collapse of the city wall.

The city wall took many years to build, and the collapsed wall was close to the city gate. Over time, it would inevitably be affected by the closing and opening of the city gate.

Just then, a heavy rainstorm and strong wind arrived, causing some of the city walls to collapse.

Everyone was thankful that because of the heavy rain, there were no people walking under the city wall.

The people on the other side of the river all understood in their hearts that the collapse of the city wall was somewhat related to the incident at Fengkou.

When Shi Xiaoliu and the other two heard about the river water overflowing the riverbank that night, they wanted to go into the water to see what was happening to the Guangming Sect at the bottom of the river.

It was getting dark, and Shi Xiaoliu and the other two returned to the wind outlet. The disciples in the Dharma Hall breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them.

“My two junior brothers and sisters, I received the message.

Our Dharma Weapon Hall will be stationed here for a few days, so as long as the sect does not object to your entering the water, we support it."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two immediately reported the news back to the sect and received a positive reply.

After the three of them talked to the people from the Dharma Instrument Hall about some things about the forest, they rushed to the other side of the river that night.

By dark, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were ready to go into the water.

The disciples of Zhishitang stood on the river bank and saw the three of them enter the water. (End of this chapter)
