.

In the area where the Western Regions and the Great Chu border, there is a majestic and undulating mountain range, lying there quietly like a crouching dragon.

This mountain is called Kongtong Mountain, and the Xingxiu School, one of the sixteen schools of Taoism, is located here.

Among the sixteen sects of Taoism, Shushan, Kunlun, Cangqiong, and the Ye family far away in Beihai are the most powerful. Each of the sects has monks of the holy order, and monks from the suzerain who are also in the realm of heaven and man emerge in endlessly.

Penglai Island is not counted, and the next count is Liangzong and Xingxiu Palace.

The Penglai sect is very special, and there are not many disciples. [

But the two Supreme Elders in the faction have holy ranks of cultivation, and they are a pair of twin brothers who have attained the Tao, and they have been hidden on the island for many years and do not care about world affairs.

The disciples they handed down are too inferior compared to other sects, there is not even a cultivator in the heaven-human realm, a total of seven disciples have been accepted under the sect, and two of them have fallen under the forty-ninth calamity.

However, there is no one who is not good enough to dare to provoke the Penglai faction. After all, the legend of the two holy monks in the faction is quite scary just by telling it.

And this point was not preached by the Daoist sect itself, but from the Beihai Zhulong, a super demon saint who succeeded in aspiring to the holy rank with a side branch of the dragon clan, admitted that he had asked the Penglai sect.

Needless to say, Liangzong, Li Yue was at the top of his cultivation for a while, the Penglai sect hid from the world, and the East China Sea used to be rampant with monsters, but most of them were wiped out by Liangzong. At that time, Li Yue and his brothers became famous. hour.

At that time, Li Yue's generation had a total of eight disciples who achieved extraordinary achievements and entered the realm of heaven and man, and then two of them died in the battle with the East Sea monster clan, and two of them died in the second forty-ninth calamity. Next, it includes the one who was assassinated in the fight with Huang Quan, so that he suffered misfortune during the robbery.

As for the Xingxiu Palace, the three major palace masters in the faction are all high-level monks in the realm of heaven and man. Needless to say, the second palace master Ziwei Xingjun, the third palace master, is obsessed with strange spells, but he is also a heavenly monk. A monk of the third level of the human realm.

Below the palace lord, there is another senior brother who is the same generation as the three palace lords. He is currently an elder of the Xingxiu Sect, who is in charge of the sect's criminal law.

In recent years, the Xingxiu Sect has two newly promoted cultivators in the Celestial Realm. One is Lie Fenyu's first disciple, Zhenyu Zhenren, and the other is his younger sister Lie Lengxiang, who was promoted to be in charge of the sect housekeeping.

This time the Great Chu conquered the west and competed with Lion Camel Mountain, the Daoist sect, as always, was the main force accompanying the army.

And the Cangqiong Sect and the Xingxiu Palace located in the west are the main force among the main forces. Needless to say, the Cangqiong Sect has all six heavenly and human realm monks below the suzerain, but as long as there is an elder monk in the sect , Then people dare to take the opportunity to sneak attack.

The Xingxiu Palace did not dare to be like the Cangqiong Sect, after all, there are no holy rank monks in the sect.

The Grand Palace Master Jiulie Shenjun Lie Fenyu, Yasheng and Yang Zhan stayed behind the Chu army as ambush soldiers, and the five major disciples of his sect, from the Zhenren Zhenren onwards, all accompanied them.

After the Yaozu retreated, the Chu army pursued them, and Taiyin Yuanjun, the second lord of Xingxiu Palace, was worried about her husband, so she rushed to support her with another elder.

In the current faction, there are only the third palace lord, Ziwei Xingjun, and an elder, but if it is just defense, I would be afraid. After all, Xingxiu Palace has established a faction for thousands of years. Naturally, there are many restrictions in the sect, and there is Ziwei Xingjun. Generally, a monk who is proficient in strange spells is here, even if an opponent of the fourth level of heaven and man comes to attack him, he will not be able to resist. When Lie Fenyu, Zhang Suchang and his wife come back, they will naturally suffer. .

Even so, since the battle of the monsters began in the Western Regions, the Xingxiu Palace has also stepped up its vigilance and released the air ban in the sect. Anyone who enters within a hundred miles of the Xingxiu Palace, the monks in the real world may fall directly. Even cultivators in the Heaven-Human Realm will be subject to domain-like suppression.

The small town of Shining Gold at the foot of Kongtong Mountain is just like the human cities at the foot of Shu Mountain, where ordinary human races live together.

There are dozens of small towns like this scattered around Kongtongxia. They live peacefully under the protection of Xingxiu Palace, and at the same time provide some daily use for Xingxiu Palace.

If it was in the past, it may not be the case. [

This is due to the fact that the Shushan sect recruited a lot of disciples and attracted other Taoist sects to follow suit.

Except for those like the Ye family who only supplement their own bloodline children as disciples, the Jinding school who must have the aptitude for alchemy, the Penglai school who is hidden from the world, and the Taishang Sensing sect with their own unique inheritance, all other schools follow the example of the Shushan school. Recruiters, euphemistically called Daomen Dangxing.

That's why when Kong Zhang met Jin Qingsi, Jin Qingsi gave birth to his idea of ​​joining the sect.

The number of disciples increases, one is that the resources needed for cultivation need to be guaranteed, and the other is that they have not yet reached the realm of real people, and have not yet reached the point of bigu, and they have to eat fireworks in the world, so those cities outside the sea of ​​clouds of the Shushan faction are the protection of the Shushan faction. The source of food supplies for the disciples.

The source of food for the disciples of the Xingxiu Palace who have just entered the school is a small town like Shining Gold Town. The people in the town farm at sunrise and rest at sunset. needed.

Even occasionally, descendants of townspeople who meet the requirements of the Xingxiu Palace will be cited to go up the mountain and become disciples of the Xingxiu Palace.

On this day, the town seemed very lively, because there were many outsiders like never before.

The first to arrive was a group of gorgeous carriages, which attracted the attention of the townspeople when the carriage slowly drove into the town of Gold Shining.

Because this team of chariots and horses are too handsome, even these townspeople are used to seeing the immortals and their disciples flying around on the mountain, but they don't like this team of chariots and horses.

The carriage was nothing more than that, it was made of some kind of wood, engraved with gorgeous and complex runes, and there was a faint layer of cloud floating around the carriage.

The key is that the eight horses pulling the cart are all fiery red, but they have snow-white wings.

"Young master, we're here." A man in the motorcade who looked like a butler walked to the front of the carriage and said respectfully.

"Well, Uncle Wei, why don't we go directly to the Xingxiu Palace?" A young man's voice came from the carriage, and the voice seemed a little impatient.

Uncle Nawei said patiently: "Young master, we had to land a hundred miles away before because the Xingxiu Palace released the air ban. If any monks within the restricted range try to fly bravely, it will cause trouble. Forbidden attack."

A cold snort came from the carriage: "The Xingxiu Palace is so grand, if it wasn't for my father insisting that I come, I wouldn't be bothered to come. I want to see if the female apprentice of Taiyin Yuanjun is a fairy."

"Young master, since the master has given you such an order, it is better for you to obey. We have now arrived at the foot of Kongtong Mountain. This is a small town attached to the Xingxiu Palace. You can rest here for a while. I will take the master's token to go to the Xingxiu Palace. When I come back, the young master will follow me up the mountain." Uncle Nawei said.

"Okay, as you say." The young man's impatient voice came from the carriage.

The butler-looking Uncle Wei sighed slightly in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face.

He was originally a cultivator in the realm of real people, and he devoted himself as a slave to the family of the boy in the carriage, but it was because the father of the boy was kind to him and saved his life.

Before he left, he gave some instructions to the guards who came with his son on this trip. Among the more than ten people in this group, six of them are monks in the realm of real people, and he has a total of seven, and among them, any five of them can do it. Lay out the five-element and five-direction meridian formation, the formation method and the power of five people can form a whole, and even monks in the realm of heaven and man can resist it.

Therefore, even if he temporarily leaves to seek a visit from Xingxiu Palace, he doesn't have to worry about the safety of the son in the carriage, not to mention that this is the sphere of influence of Xingxiu Palace, generally speaking, no one would dare to hurt someone so close to Xingxiu Palace.

But if Uncle Wei stays here, he will soon find out that he has miscalculated. [

Because not long after he left, another group of people came.

The group of people was far less numerous than them, but there were only seven of them, the leader was a slender young man, and there were several monks following him.

This group of people appeared outside the Golden Town, and they saw the gorgeous and conspicuous carriage from afar.

The slender boy was startled for a moment, then laughed and said, "I never thought that the second child of the Tang family would appear here, hahaha, they are the only ones in the world who have the demeanor of a monk and make themselves like an upstart like an ordinary man." .”

A monk next to the slender boy said with a smile: "Young master, don't underestimate their carriage. The Tang family is good at making utensils. It is as famous as the Taoist Tiangong School, the Royal Family's Tianji Academy, and the South China Sea. It is engraved with runes, which should be extremely defensive."

Another monk also said: "There is a layer of clouds looming around the carriage, which should be the effect of the runes. Even without the eight flame celestial horses, it can fly."

The slender boy nodded and said, "I just laughed at the Tang family's point of view. In order to make it more gorgeous, I insisted on making these eight flame horses superfluous."

"My lord, they also appeared here. Could it be that their purpose is the same as ours?" the third monk who followed hesitantly asked.

The young master's face changed slightly, "It must be, if so, then their combination of flying hearses and eight flaming heavenly horses may not be for showing off. Not good, maybe it was given to Xingxiu Palace as a gift."

The faces of the few followers also changed slightly, but the monk who spoke first sneered and said: "A flying hearse and eight flaming heavenly horses are really extraordinary, and I would love it if it fell into the hands of me and other real-world monks, but I'm afraid I won't be able to impress Taiyin." Yuan Jun, let her be willing to marry the female apprentice?"

"That's right, how can Tang Yi, who is not angry, compare with my son."

"Don't underestimate it. You can see that there are a few monks around the carriage, and they seem to be the most powerful of the Tang family."

"So what? Are we afraid of them? If we want to fight, we will trip them. Tang Yi is definitely not the son's opponent. How can our grandson's family be afraid of the Tang family?"

A group of people went up to greet them while talking, and met the monks in the team of horses and horses that appeared earlier in the town of Shining Gold.

The team of the Changsun family was also found over there. Tang Yi from the Tang family in the carriage hadn't spoken yet, but the few monks who followed and guarded him were the elites of the Tang family, and some of them were also the same as before. Uncle Wei usually volunteers to serve the Tang family only after receiving favor from the Tang family.

"Changsun family?" Someone shouted.

The slender young master smiled slightly, stepped forward and said: "The eldest grandson's parent, Sun Yu, is here, but Tang Yi is in front of you?"

As soon as the carriage door opened, a young man who also looked a little slender but with a pale face came out. Seeing Changsun Yu, his expression changed slightly: "Changsun Yu, it turned out to be you. Are you also here to ask for marriage?"
