"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Jiang, disrespectful and disrespectful."
When they arrived at the Yanshou Peak area, the Yuanyings went to discuss matters. Lin Bai and Jiang Yatou were waiting outside, and Gao Yuanyuan came to find them.
He was still dressed in white, with a smile on his face, a wine gourd hanging around his waist, and a slight smell of alcohol. When Lin Bai introduced Girl Jiang, Gao Yuanyuan was obviously a little surprised.
There was no way around it. The return of Zhou Huishan's old friends was a big deal, and Jiang Xingchi became famous everywhere as a mediator.
Regardless of whether it is a good reputation or a bad reputation, the reputation of the Jiang family in Qiaoshan has already suppressed the Gu family and the Yang family.
Seeing the big shots discussing matters, Gao Yuanyuan invited Lin and Jiang to his residence to discuss Taoism.
Lin Bai had received Gao Yuanyuan's favor and wanted to inquire into Yunxia Sect's thoughts, so he readily agreed.
The three of them left Yanshou Peak and walked south for more than ten miles before arriving at a station.
Here are all casual cultivators, ranging from golden elixir to qi training, there are as many as 3,000 people. It is led by Gao Yuanyuan and three other Jindan, but Gao Yuanyuan has always been indifferent.
After entering the account, Gao Yuanyuan took out the wine glass. While pouring the wine, he said that the wine was very beautiful and hard-won. He also said that there were many mediocre people here and they were not interesting. He wanted to find Gai Chengfei to drink, but he had to go to Songhe Mountain. , and it is not in compliance with military regulations.
After drinking for a while, Gao Yuanyuan did not ask about the Northern Expedition, but recalled the past.
"I remember that you slept in Longshan Mountain to seek the opportunity of the Apocalypse. It was then that I saw your nature, and now you have also obtained the elixir. Huang Ruhua also has a deep blessing. Tiehuasheng treats her like her own child, and Fairy Shen Yu even accepted her as her disciple. ”
Gao Yuanyuan kept pouring wine, with a smile on his face, "A while ago, she went to my Yunxia Sect to get Qu Ruyi, and asked a circle of people, but she didn't say a word to me."
"She doesn't have much on her mind." Lin Bai smiled.
"Master also said that the fairy accepted Huang Ruhua as her disciple because she loved her simply."
Gao Yuanyuan rubbed his wine glass, looked at Jiang Xiaobai, and asked: "Your ancestor is in charge of the Northern Expedition. How long will it take?"
"Now that Zhou Huishan's old friend has arrived, he must be here soon." Jiang Xiaobai didn't know either. She never asked Jiang Xingchi, and Jiang Xingchi never said much to her.
Gao Yuanyuan looked at Lin Bai again and said, "My dear brother is Patriarch Gu's favorite general. What do you know?"
"Within one year, Black Wind Mountain will be destroyed." Lin Bai said.
According to what the fairy said, Ancestor Xiang will refine the Black Ice Chalcedony within three to five years, and from then on, he will be more secure in overcoming the tribulation.
What the fairy said is certainly reliable, and with Ancestor Xiang’s ability, it must be completed within three years.
When the time comes to leave the mountain, you will have to climb the Wanshou Mountain. If there is no big deal, you will probably not come out to help.
Now that a year has passed, Jiang Xingchi is fully prepared, and it is clear that a war is imminent.
And, no matter how you look at it, the outcome of this battle has been decided.
The so-called sect's heritage, disciples, spiritual land, scripture collection, and output are all false.
Great power is attributed to one person, and the real foundation lies in the number of the top monks.
In the East China Sea, Yuanying is the highest monk. Whoever has more Yuanying will have the confidence to speak.
But Nascent Souls are also divided into three, six or nine levels, such as Wuque Mountain, Yubi Mountain and Yinbi Mountain. There are five Nascent Souls in total, but they are all old and weak. They are clearly withered bones in the grave, and anyone can take a bite.
However, there is an extra Jiang Xingchi in Qiaoshan, but Yuanying is still smaller than Jiuzheshan. However, Jiang Xingchi can preside over the Northern Expedition by virtue of his initial body, and Taoist Lihuo has to listen to his orders.
Just because there is a person in Qiaoshan who has never returned, the first person among the gods.
From plotting to paint Yuliu Mountain, to the northern expedition to Shoutian Pavilion, to all the sects surrounding Zhou Huishan's old people, Jiang Xingchi was able to succeed in all his plans only because he had Xiang Wuhui behind him who was about to advance to the realm of gods.
However, there are also advantages to having more Nascent Souls. Now there are nine Nascent Souls in Yanshou Peak, but there are only two Nascent Souls in Heifeng Mountain opposite.
The pros and cons are clear, and the outcome is decided.
In this game of Yuanying power between several parties, the winner is bound to be determined.
Previously, Jiuzheshan's Sanyuanying, Qiaoshan's Sanyuanying, and the other party's Wuyuanying were not dominant. Nowadays, there are many Wu Yuanyings in Zhou Huishan. Although most of them are old, they can't handle the large number of people.
Moreover, with Jiang Xingchi's ability, he must be able to persuade or have the means to let those who are already dying to die.
Previously, Wuque Mountain, Yubi Mountain and Yinbi Mountain were forced into desperate situations, and there was little value in dying. But if he could die this time, he would probably be able to negotiate more favorable terms for Zhou Huishan's old friends.
Thinking of this, Lin Bai raised a glass to Jiang Yatou.
Gao Yuanyuan also raised his glass.
"..." Jiang Xiaobai has seven orifices in her heart and has a delicate mind. She has already thought of these joints. She glared at the two of them and said angrily: "Senior Brother Gao, be careful of your Song Jingxian! And you, Lin Zhuanlun, you His reputation is getting better and better, tsk tsk tsk, the evil servant deceives the master!”
She drank and seemed out of breath.
At this time, a young female disciple came in, first knelt down to Gao Yuanyuan, called her master, and then knelt down to Lin and Jiang.
"This is my new disciple, who is also a casual cultivator." Gao Yuanyuan nodded with a smile and asked, "What is your name?"
"Master, my name is Qinghe." The female disciple said blankly.
Lin and Jiang gave them a meeting gift, but Qinghe knelt down and accepted it.
"A fellow Taoist named Shi came to ask outside the door and said he wanted to see Senior Zhuan Lun." Qinghe said again.
Soon Shi Qingyu came in, bowed first, then leaned towards Lin Bai and said: "Ancestor, please come over."
It seems that the big shots have finished talking about old times and want to use the fog to discuss important matters.
"Lead the way." Lin Bai stood up.
"Didn't you tell me?" Jiang Xiaobai asked sullenly, his face red from drinking.
Shi Qingyu shook his head.
Jiang Xiaobai muttered twice, stood up staggeringly, glanced at Qinghe, she actually stepped forward and pinched her cheek, then smiled at Gao Yuanyuan and said: "Senior Brother Gao, let your disciple take me around, let me see the layout here .”
"I don't think she is stupid," Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.
"Senior..." Qinghe should be an honest boy, his face turned red, and he was mumbling and speechless.
Seeing that Jiang Yatou was going crazy after drinking, Lin Bai pointed his finger at her forehead, fed her some elixirs, and then set off with Shi Qingyu.
When they arrived at Yanshou Peak, there was a thatched cottage, and Shi Qingyu led Lin Bai in.
The thatched cottage is simple and unremarkable. When I opened the door and entered the house, I felt like I was in a trance. When I opened my eyes again, I saw that I had fallen into a strange place.
There is a mist all around, and I don't know where it is spreading.
This is a secret treasure of space!
Soon the fog dispersed, and nine people were seen, each sitting on the futon, scattered.
Some of them were smiling, while a few other old men had grimaces on their faces.
Lin Bai had heard of these people before, and the leader was naturally Qiaoshan Jiang Xingchi.
There are also three Yuanyings from Jiuzhe Mountain, namely Taoist Lihuo, Du Jueming and Yan Qingfeng.
Then there are Meng Shanhe and Mu Lian from Yinbi Mountain, both of whom are very old, especially the latter, who heard that his longevity is approaching. Yubishan also has two Nascent Souls, the sons of Yuan Jie and Gui Zhen.
Finally, there is Lei Zaixiao from Wuque Mountain.
In the old days, everyone in Zhouhuishan had white hair and white beards, but the people in Qiaoshan and Jiuzheshan were still in their prime years.
And when it comes to realm cultivation, although the people in Zhou Huishan are old, they are not as good as Taoist Lihuo here.
Seeing this scene, Lin Bai quickly knelt down and saluted.
"Is this child the one that Gu Daoyou and Zou Mi are fighting over?" Jiuzheshanyan Qingfeng asked with a smile.
"Brother Yan, don't listen to rumors." Jiang Xingchi twirled his beard and shook his head with a smile, "He worked for me before and caused a big fuss in the Shouting Pavilion, so he was hated by Zou Mi."
< br>
Yan Qingfeng smiled and didn't say whether he believed it or not.
"What are you asking him to do?" Jiuzheshan Du Jueming asked with a frown.
"Senior Brother Yang and Senior Sister Gu can't leave each other in Songhe Mountain, so Lin Zhuanlun will attend the meeting on their behalf." Jiang Xingchi said with a smile.
No one asked any more questions.
Only then did Jiang Xingchi talk about the arrangements for the Northern Expedition.
As Lin Bai expected, they took Heifeng Mountain first and then surrounded Wanshou Mountain.
The arrangement made by Jiang Xingchi was quite clear. There were few people in Songhe Mountain. In order to prevent Wanshou Mountain from attacking from the east and west, Meng Shanhe from Yinwu Mountain and Yubishan Yuan Jie had to go to Songhe Mountain to take charge of the defense, mainly to guard against Kong Shu.
If this happens, the two Nascent Souls in Yinbi Mountain will inevitably separate, and the same will be true for the two in Yubi Mountain.
Then Jiang Xingchi took out another album and threw it out, talking about the protective array in Black Wind Mountain.
This protective formation is the Tianshou Guiyuan Formation. It looks like a divine turtle and has excellent protection. A single blow from the Nascent Soul can easily eliminate it without a trace.
"This great formation of divine turtles is in line with the meaning of the great road. It stands between heaven and earth and cannot be broken in a hurry." Jiang Xingchi stroked his beard and smiled, "However, although this formation is completely natural, it is even more consistent with the Black Wind Mountain. They complement each other, but there are traces to follow. As long as we work together, we will be able to break its tortoise shell and cut off its four legs within two or three months at most!”
As he spoke, he tapped the album again and drew five points, which were the four legs and head of the divine turtle.
"Did Xiao Xie decide on this method?" Yubishan Guizhenzi suddenly spoke. His voice was old, his face was withered, and his hair was sparse, like a savage in the countryside waiting to die.
Xie Qingxuan was the second group of people to go south, and the baby was born after they occupied the land in Shoutian Pavilion.
"It's exactly the method to break the formation that Senior Brother Xie has been exploring for a long time." Jiang Xingchi said.
"Where is he?" Gui Zhenzi asked with narrowed eyes.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xianyun Yehe, I really don't know." Jiang Xingchi replied sincerely.
"We are weak and we are driven by you. If things don't work out, we have nothing to say and we should accept our fate." Gui Zhenzi suddenly opened his eyes wide, his eyes clear and not old, his beard and hair fluttering, staring at Jiang Xing Chi said in a deep voice: If it comes true——"
"If it happens, Zhouhui Mountain will naturally return to its original owner. I, Qiaoshan, will only borrow Wanshou Mountain for one purpose. But from now on, regardless of whether my senior brother Xiang of Qiaoshan ascends to heaven or not, this Wanshou Mountain will not be a place for one family. In the future, if fellow Taoists want to go further, they can be used by Brother Lihuo, Brother Yan, or Brother Du! "Jiang Xingchi is very fair.
As soon as he said this, the three people in Jiuzheshan all looked at Zhuzhou Huishan's old man.
"We have no family and no job, wandering around. We are nothing more than losers on the roadside. How can we occupy such a vast place?" Guizhenzi shook his head slightly, closed his eyes, and continued: "I just hope to have a place to live so that the Taoist tradition can survive." .”
Seeing that they were not greedy, Jiang Xingchi also smiled and said: "If we can drive away the foreign strongmen, in the future I, Qiaoshan, will share life and death with Zhou Huishan. If something happens to Zhou Huishan, it will happen to me, Qiaoshan."
< br>
At this point, he added, "Whether I, Senior Brother Qiaoshan Xiang, succeeds or not, this statement will always be accurate."
"Jiang Xingchi, we, the dying people, have no control over what will happen in the future. I feel uneasy if Xiang Wuhui doesn't show up." Meng Shanhe said in Yinbi Mountain.
"The birds are hiding behind their bows, and the whales are devouring their homeland. I understand what you are worried about." Jiang Xingchi smiled, "Xie Qingxuan endured for hundreds of years to get where he is today, and now he is far away, perhaps he is also worried about the old affairs of Shouting Pavilion."< br>
Speaking of this, Jiang Xingchi pointed at Lin Bai again and said, "Brother Xie had a relationship with my late Nascent Soul Gu Qingshan in Qiaoshan. This Lin Zhuanlun can be regarded as half of Brother Xie's disciples."
< br>
Then Jiang Xingchi took out a letter and said, "Brother thank you for leaving it before you left. You can take a look at it."
Gui Zhenzi took the letter, and it was indeed marked by Xie Qingxuan. After reading it, he sent it to Yuan Jie in turn.
The old people in Zhou Huishan read the letter and said nothing more, and passed it back to Zhenzi.
"You have studied the book "Joining the Formation", and you can be regarded as my disciple who returned to the mountain for half a week. And you have received the favor of the wood demon, so you can take a look." Gui Zhenzi pushed out the letter.
Lin Bai took it respectfully and carefully read what was written in the letter, but he only said one old thing, which was that in the past, the wood demon was trapped in the ground, imitating the body of a cicada, and then reborn and realized the Nascent Soul.
"..." Lin Bai immediately understood that Xie Qingxuan wanted Zhu Zhou to return to the mountain and live towards death in order to survive.
Looking at Jiang Xingchi taking out the letter so openly, he must have discussed it with Xie Qingxuan, and Xie Qingxuan also agreed to the matter, and wanted these old people to rush forward.
The reason why Guizhenzi let him see it was because he wanted to know their determination. He even told Gu Qingshui about it, hoping that he could take some of his heart and take care of his descendants in the future.
Lin Bai went to pay homage to Guizhenzi again, and then paid homage to Zhu Zhouhuishan's old friends.
Sure enough, after this incident, Jiang Xingchi made arrangements, and no one had any objections. Instead, they actively discussed the matter of defeating the enemy.
Zhu Yuanying only talked about the war, not the benefits, nor the ownership of the spiritual land afterwards.
After three days, the discussion was finally settled. From breaking the formation to setting up an ambush to prepare for Kong Shu's rescue, all the plans were not complicated, but everything was considered, and even the person who sacrificed the mysterious treasure had a plan.
After the meeting, Jiang Xingchi took Meng Shanhe and Yuan Jieju to Songhe Mountain, and Lin Bai accompanied him.
After going through the plan again, Jiang Xingchi also asked Gu Qingshui for Lin Bai to go to Yanshou Peak, saying that it would be easy to use.
"He is of great use here." Gu Qingshui refused this time.
Jiang Xingchi showed a rare expression of surprise, smiled bitterly, and headed towards Yanshou Peak.
Afterwards, when the letters were passed, news came, saying that Yanshou Peak was reorganizing military affairs and inventorying supplies. The two Nascent Souls Gui Zhenzi and Mu Lian went to the Black Wind Mountain to call for battle and said they wanted to talk to their old friend Huo Taiping.
Huo Taiping is also an old member of Zhou Huishan. He was originally the third group to go south, but was eventually recruited back by Shouting Pavilion. He has been living in peace and harmony these years.
This is an act of persuading surrender, and it is also an attempt to provoke.
However, Huo Taiping did not show up at all, and only sent a Jindan junior to reply, and also persuaded Gui Zhenzi and Mu Lian to submit to Shoutian Pavilion, so that they would have good spiritual places in the future.
Seeing that there is nothing to talk about, we can only break the formation first.
Lihuo Taoist is on the turtle head, Gui Zhenzi and Mu Lian are on the left, Yan Qingfeng and Lei Zaixiao are on the right.
Jiang Xingchi and Du Jueming were candidates, and all the disciples prepared formations to protect him.
Within a few days, the Black Wind Mountain protective formation changed. Xia Yufeng could no longer sit still. He opened the back door and went out for a while, but was ambushed by Jiang Xingchi.
Afterwards, Longevity Mountain was also dispatched one after another, and Kong Shu also showed up. However, Songhe Mountain only defended but did not attack, so there was nothing they could do.
And there is always a cloud floating in the sky, as if a ghost is lingering.
After more than a month, Lin Bai's heart moved, and he felt joyful. He silently felt that Xiuxiu's elixir formation should have been completed.
Just as he was thinking about when the fairy would bring Xiuxiu to see him, news came from outside that the Black Wind Mountain Formation could not last long and had been broken. (End of chapter)
