Chapter 294 Origin
The candlelight flickered, reflecting on the two of them.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Sister Huanhuan became even more gentle. Lin Bai only felt that Qiaoshan was home.
In the middle of the night, Lin Bai finally remembered Aunt Gu's words about not indulging in women, and was frightened. He calmed down when he saw no one around.
Being used to being bullied by foxes, Lin Bai was afraid that Aunt Gu would catch the fox's bad habits.
After getting dressed, Yang Huan's face was still flushed, and she was still looking dazed, as if she had drunk too much.
She came forward softly, humming for a while, and then asked about going out.
Lin Bai didn't hide anything and told her one by one. When it was said that he was being stabbed by the sword, Yang Huan was so distressed that his body kept sliding down.
"Sister Huanhuan, you are so kind." Lin Bai had no choice but to accept the beauty's kindness.
After the fuss was over, Lin Bai asked about business.
"Is there anything going on between the three sects now? Is there anything going on with Jiuyin Mountain and Yunxia Sect?" Master and disciple Lin Bai both have grudges against Jiuyin Mountain, and they are not good or bad with Yunxia Sect.
Having lived in Qiaoshan for a long time, he naturally paid special attention to the movements of Jiuyin Mountain and Yunxia Sect.
Now that Nascent Soul has just died in Qiaoshan, there are only three Nascent Souls left to guard it. Yunxia Sect also has three members, but Jiuyin Mountain is weak.
However, Qiaoshan is still firmly at the head of the three sects, just because there is Patriarch Xiang.
"Since Lu Haike's death, the three sects have been extremely peaceful. It's just that the north has become increasingly chaotic..." After all, Yang Huan was a Nascent Soul, so he was well-informed.
In the past, Lin Bai only knew about the chaos in the north. He didn't know the details and had never been there. He was originally not interested. But since Sister Zhen was going there, Lin Bai became interested.
After careful questioning, Lin Bai found that Sister Huanhuan didn't know much, only a rough idea.
Due to the chaos in the north, the price of elixirs and talismans there has become increasingly expensive. There are fewer and fewer people traveling alone, while more and more people are traveling together.
Jiuyin Mountain is a little closer, and it has made a lot of money over the years. Various sects in Qiaoshan also transported supplies there from time to time. Although Yunxia Sect was the farthest, they also took advantage of the situation to drink the soup.
Moreover, because Qiaoshan is prosperous and stable, with prosperous commerce and various supplies, people from the north who go south to purchase goods choose Qiaoshan as their first choice.
In the past few years, the turmoil in the north has become more and more fierce. The three factions all felt that something was wrong, so they paid attention to the news during business trips and even sent people to inquire about the news.
Although it is difficult to detect the details, the origin of the war can be roughly understood.
In fact, the seeds of chaos have been planted for a long time, but it has only become more and more serious in recent years.
Tens of thousands of miles to the north, there is a place adjacent to the Northern Wasteland. There is a sect in it called Zhou Huishan.
Zhouhui Mountain is guarded by monks who transform gods, and it is extremely prosperous. There are forces under the sect within a radius of thousands of miles. The number of Nascent Souls alone is more than the three sects of Qiaoshan combined, not to mention that the golden elixirs under the sect are everywhere, and the spiritual land is useless.
But later on, the cultivator of the Transformation God died for unknown reasons. Zhou Huishan was leaderless for a while, and the stall was too big. Not to mention the various vassals among them, the various family forces in the sect alone were too numerous to count.
Without the control of the high-level cultivator of the Transformation God, it is difficult for the various Nascent Souls in the sect to reconcile, and everyone is peeking into the retreat place of the high-level cultivator of the Transformation Soul.
The blessed land is called Longevity Mountain Blessed Land, and it is said that the grade of the spiritual land is as high as the seventh level. The spiritual energy is as full as water, and being in it is like wandering in the sea of spiritual energy. It is one of the few high-level blessed places in the East China Sea.
If the Nascent Soul cultivator wants to become a god and break through the obstacles of the great road, he must obtain a high-level spiritual land as a basis for overcoming the thunder tribulation. He must obtain at least a sixth-level high-grade spiritual land.
Now that the seventh-level spiritual land is in front, his practice will undoubtedly be faster, and he will have more hope on the path to spiritual transformation.
With the treasure land in front of them, demons in the Zhou Huishan sect were dancing wildly, trying to take it as their own.
This high-level blessed land is like a delicacy, and no one dares to fight for it, but a group of gluttons came out of the door.
Sometimes they joined forces vertically, sometimes they joined forces horizontally. Nearly twenty Nascent Souls fought for more than two hundred years. Later, they abandoned the literary fight and started fighting with force.
First, various golden elixirs died on behalf of the Nascent Soul, and later many Nascent Souls simply ended their lives, which was so stupid that even after four Nascent Souls died, they became sad again.
In the end, it doesn't make sense for everyone to fight life or death, after all, they are all family members. Then someone came forward, gathered everyone together, and sat down to talk about the ownership of the blessed land.
Due to two hundred years of war, not only the Yuanying was tired, but the clans and sects under the Yuanying were also tired, so no one thought about the good thing of monopolizing the blessed land anymore.
However, after many years of war, even if they were from the same sect, two hundred years had passed, and the golden elixir and foundation-building people below had long been jealous, and the hatred was hard to resolve for a while.
After all, they had been talking for more than a hundred years, and the various Nascent Souls had tried their best to eliminate their grudges, and when they were about to reunite, a Nascent Soul monk suddenly came from the north.
The monk claimed that his surname was Xia and that he came from the Northern Wasteland. He inspected the place on behalf of his ancestor and then said that he had taken a fancy to this treasure land.
Although Zhouhui Mountain is adjacent to the Northern Wilderness Territory, it rarely interacts with the monks from the Northern Wilderness Territory. Just because it is extremely desolate and has to pass through thousands of miles of snow-capped mountains, there are countless dangers, there are many monsters and beasts, and most of the monks there are arrogant, ordinary Nascent Souls are not willing to trek.
However, the Yuan Yings of Zhou Huishan gave the visitors from the Northern Wasteland some face. They only gave them a beating and drove them away without being offended to death.
Then less than two years later, another visitor came to the Northern Wasteland, and it was a monk who transformed into a god.
The monk who transformed gods also brought the Nascent Soul surnamed Xia who had come before, and now all the Nascent Souls in Zhou Huishan were caught blind.
However, the cultivator of Transformation God is a highly cultivated and well-educated cultivator. Although he directly occupied the blessed land of Wanshou Mountain, he did not shout or kill him. He only allowed many Nascent Souls from Zhouhui Mountain to come and pay homage.
Monks respect their realm. Zhou Huishan has been fighting for hundreds of years. This is because everyone is in the Nascent Soul realm and their strength is not much different. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish the winner. Now the high cultivator of the Transformation God comes and they all go with their tails between their legs. .
The high cultivator of the Transformation God was actually kind. He said he wanted to meditate in Wanshou Mountain. He didn't like to kill people, and he didn't like to make noise. He told Zhou Huishan Nascent Soul not to fight anymore.
Furthermore, Gao Xiu, the Transformation God, said that he would establish a sect here and establish Shouting Pavilion. If the Nascent Souls of Zhou Huishan are willing, they can act as vassals and they will be able to maintain peace and tranquility. If you don't want to, don't force it.
All the Nascent Souls saw that the Transformation God was highly cultivated and harmonious, but they did not dare to argue any further.
And there is no shame in being a vassal of the God of Transformation. Anyway, Zhou Huishan is originally the God of Transformation sect, so they all submitted to it.
Only three Nascent Souls were not convinced and actually took their clan sects southward to find another place to settle down.
It's a pity that many Nascent Souls in Zhou Huishan have been fighting for hundreds of years, and the fruit has been picked in vain.
However, things changed later. Many Nascent Souls who had submitted to Shoutian Pavilion stayed, but they still occupied their original places.
But the cultivator of the Transformation God actually has descendants in the Northern Wilderness Territory.
It is said that it is the establishment of Shoten Pavilion, but in fact it is the relocation of the faction. Therefore, monks have been migrating to the Northern Wasteland one after another, most of them are minor Qi practitioners, and there are tens of thousands of ordinary monks.
Zhou Huishan had already left three Nascent Souls, so the three places were naturally occupied by Shoutian Pavilion. Moreover, there are not many people coming from the Northern Wilderness Territory, and even the big guys can squeeze in. After all, Zhouhui Mountain is vast.
In fact, the old people from Zhou Huishan originally planned to make friends with people from the Northern Wilderness Region, but after all, they all became vassals under the sect of Huashen Gaoxiu. But the monks in the Northern Wilderness Region have always been bad-tempered, and they kept getting angry. Within a few hundred years, they were greedy enough and wanted to steal the spiritual lands of many Nascent Soul monks in Zhou Huishan.
In fact, there are not many Nascent Souls in Shouting Pavilion. Except for the monk surnamed Xia who came first, there are two young Nascent Souls. In terms of quantity, they cannot compare with the Nascent Soul forces in the old land of Zhouhuishan.
However, Shouting Pavilion was guarded by gods, so the Nascent Souls in Zhou Huishan didn't dare to fall out, so they could only say a few harsh words and let the juniors give them a beating.
Later, as there were more and more people in Shoutian Pavilion, the conflicts naturally became more and more serious. Zhu Zhou returned to the mountain and wanted to seek justice from the ancestor of the God of Transformation, but the ancestor of the God of Transformation was either in retreat or meditating, and no one could be found.
After going through this for more than three hundred years, the old people of Zhou Huishan failed to integrate into Shoutian Pavilion. The anti-conflicts became more and more intense, and many disputes broke out.
Seeing that the Ancestor of Transformation God was not doing anything, the Nascent Souls of Zhou Huishan Mountain were extremely disappointed and unable to resist, so they simply slapped their heads and took their clan sects to go south.
There are three other Yuanying families who have led their clan sects to wait for more than a hundred years. Finally, when the ancestor of the gods came out of seclusion, they begged for justice with tears and runny noses.
Transformation God Gao Xiu didn't even bother to look at this nonsense. He waved his hand and asked the remaining three families to discuss with the monk surnamed Xia.
This was naturally unreasonable. The monk surnamed Xia was appointed as the head of Shouting Pavilion. Just because he was guarded by the Ancestor of Transformation God, he always acted tough and did not take the Nascent Soul monk of the same level into his eyes.
The remaining three Zhou Huishan old people were stunned. They didn't expect that the dignified cultivators of the Transformation of Gods could be so unreliable. But there was nothing he could do, so he led his tribe southward with tears in his eyes.
However, the south is all owned land, and there are many areas that were originally occupied by Zhou Huishan's old people.
The place where Nascent Soul practices requires a fifth-level spiritual land to be considered suitable. It is often occupied by the Nascent Soul sect, so the territory is naturally difficult to grab. If we take a step back and grab the fourth-level spiritual land of Jindan, but most people are attached to Nascent Soul, we still have to fight.
However, those who left Zhou Huishan first had the first-mover advantage, and together they could still grab a place to live. Now they are at peace, and they can subdue many vassals with their Nascent Soul realm.
But in the end, the three Nascent Souls who still had hope in the transformation of gods were in an even more difficult situation.
Thousands of years have passed since the death of Zhou Huishan Huashen, and the once famous sect has long been lost in the long river of time. However, the blessed land of Wanshou Mountain has occupied the magpie's nest, and its name has been changed.
The scattered old people in Zhouhuishan are like wanderers who have left their hometown, wandering and homeless.
In the past, four of the seventeen Yuan Yings who fought for the treasure land of the God Transformation died in the internal fighting. The first batch of three Yuan Yings who fled and brought their clan members together, one of them died while fighting for a place to establish themselves.
Among the five Nascent Souls who escaped in the second batch, two escaped alone, leaving their family sect behind and disappeared without a trace. The other three led their tribesmen to grab a piece of territory, but they had not yet established a foothold.
Now the place where the fighting is happening in the north is the third group of old people from Zhou Huishan who went south.
There were three Nascent Souls, but for some reason, one of them turned around after receiving an order from Shoutian Pavilion halfway. One of the other two Nascent Souls left, leaving only one who forcibly occupied a place and competed with a local sect.
Of the seventeen people in the past, four died in the old place of Zhouhui Mountain, and two new Nascent Souls were the second batch of people who left.
The remaining Nascent Soul of the third batch is six or seven thousand miles away from Qiaoshan, where fighting has been going on for many years.
Although Nascent Soul is alone now, at least the old people from Zhou Huishan are still there, and they can help from time to time, and they are evenly matched with the local forces.
“The situation is so complex and the number of forces is simply dazzling.”
After Yang Huan roughly finished speaking, he gave an evaluation, "If there are one or two Nascent Souls, even if they bring a few golden elixirs, some sects can still accommodate them. But they often bring thousands or even tens of thousands of people. No family dares to take over, so they can only open up a land by themselves or forcefully occupy it, and then it will take hundreds or thousands of years to gain a foothold.”
"One side is a sect that has lost its homeland, and the other side is aboriginal people who have lived in the local area for a long time. The hatred is hard to resolve. The two sides are already red-blooded, and they will never be able to calm down without clearing out each other's holes."
Lin Bai shook his head helplessly and continued: "Actually, the culprit was the Shouting Pavilion from the Northern Wilderness Territory."
"But no one dares to argue with Huashen Gaoxiu." Yang Huan spread his hands.
"Then Shoutian Pavilion is originally in the Northern Wasteland, so how can it go south to seize other people's territory?" Lin Bai asked again.
"No one knows." Yang Huan shook his head, "There are fewer people going to the Northern Wilderness Territory than to the Southern Heaven Territory. Generally speaking, Nascent Souls are reluctant to go out about matters outside the territory, so naturally there is no information."
Lin Bai nodded, thinking that Sister Zhen was probably going there to find out the reason.
"What the old people in Zhou Huishan are doing now is no different from the people from Shoutian Pavilion who came from the Northern Wilderness Territory." Lin Bai said.
"Who says it isn't?" Yang Huan also smiled helplessly, "I heard that people from Shouting Pavilion also went south to sell elixirs and talismans. They have all kinds of things needed for war. All warring parties sell them, but the price is a little more expensive. It's not as good as We have good quality and low price.”
"It's really inappropriate..." Lin Bai was shocked, and couldn't help but think of Miaomiao, and said: "You know the good things Miaomiao did, right?"
After hearing this, Yang Huan pursed her lips and smiled, "Miaomiao's ability to make money has even been praised by my uncle."
"..." She was shameless as a disciple, and her face as a master was also dull. Lin Bai asked in a low voice: "What did she do with the spiritual stone she got?"
"I heard from Xiao Yu'er that Miaomiao went the way of Gu Yao to buy spiritual materials, went the way of Sister Jiang Yu to buy magic weapons, went the way of Yunxia Sect Meng Yuan to buy elixirs, and then went the way of Yang Shu to get to know Beifang. Those who came to buy it really made a fortune," Yang Huan said.
Gu Yao is still here to benefit from co-writing? Then she blackmailed Miaomiao again, wouldn't it mean that she had eaten her twice? You are really bullying my apprentice! Lin Bai held his forehead and didn't know what to say.
"She is still young and has an undecided temperament. At that time, she was sent to Fengming Pavilion to serve as a steward. Naturally, she wanted to do more things." Yang Huan spoke for Miaomiao.
"You also benefited from her?" Lin Bai asked.
Yang Huan smiled and said nothing.
"..." Lin Bai was completely convinced, feeling that this apprentice was really better than his master.
"Although she ripped off the skin of a tiger, she didn't make any big mistakes. Don't blame her." Yang Huan's eyes were like water, and he softly pleaded for Miaomiao.
Lin Bai originally wanted to say a few words about the way of being a believer, but Sister Huanhuan had already arrived.
At dawn, the two of them talked about practicing.
Yang Huan established his foundation very early, and he and his clan brother Yang Shu have always been the most promising golden elixir seeds in the family.
When Lin Bai formed the elixir, she had already built the ninth level of the foundation. Now it is almost complete, and within two or three years at most, she will have to go through the tribulation to seek the elixir.
Thunder disaster is full of difficulties and dangers, which is why she becomes more gentle and searching.
"The gourd I gave you has an extraordinary origin. You should learn its magical effects carefully, or you may be able to use it during the calamity." Lin Bai's mysterious gourd was strange, and the other gourds also had different magical effects.
"My destiny is the jade gourd, which is compatible with this gourd." Yang Huan took out the gourd placed next to him and looked at Lin Bai softly, with even more eagerness in his eyes.
"I have to teach Miaomiao a lesson." Lin Bai remembered Aunt Gu's words and did not dare to stay any longer.
"Maybe they have already come this way." Yang Huan understood Miaomiao better.
