Chapter 191 The Light of the Righteous Path (Happy New Year)
In the territory of Lu State, a flying boat flew across the sky.
Along the way, everyone looked down with fresh and curious faces. They had never left the Song Dynasty and came to such a distant place, even Master Huang Xian and Yan Yuanchun were no exception.
Villages are filled with smoke, cities are majestic and tall, terraces are well arranged, and academies are filled with chants
The reading atmosphere in Lu seems to be relatively strong. There are Confucian academies in every place. All school-age children will basically learn literature. Occasionally, when passing by a place, you can hear that people respect the etiquette of saints.
However, these conditions only apply to the first half of the journey. After ten days, they will look below. I found that many academies were abandoned, overgrown with weeds, broken walls, and infested with jackals and rabbits.
"We should have arrived at the realm of the three demon sects."
Yan Yuanchun held the jade slip of the map given by the Black Lotus Sect's Law King before retreating, and found their current approximate location on it.
The map in this jade slip roughly records the distribution of power in dozens of nearby countries.
Two huge areas, one white and one black, are separated from the middle of the Lu Kingdom. On the black side are the three sects of the Black Lotus Sect, the Blood River Palace, and the Baigui Sect, which belong to the demonic path. On Bai's side are the two major Confucian families, as well as the large and small sect forces in the original Lu country, which belong to the righteous way.
Speaking of Confucianism in the Lu State, Yan Yuanchun relayed the information collected by the Black Lotus Sect to everyone.
The Confucian sect of the Lu State is not Confucianism. It is similar to what the Black Skull Demon Lord told Lin Shan. The Confucian sect here is a monk wearing the skin of Confucianism. Although what he cultivates is a breath of "awesome energy", it is different from the demonic energy and blood energy. , ghost energy are the same, in fact they are all variants transformed from spiritual energy.
After all, in this world, the mainstream between heaven and earth is spiritual energy, which is an era of cultivation civilization.
The real Confucian and Taoist civilization died out long ago in the chaotic eras. At that time, it was said that the world was full of "talent". The great Confucianists spit out charters, opened spring buds on their tongues, and could not stop the birth and death of all things in the world. There was a loud bang in people's mouths.
Today's cultivators in the world of cultivation sneer at this and simply don't believe that there is such an outrageous thing.
Even today's so-called "Confucianism" just makes the magic weapons look like the four treasures of the study. They usually talk to you a few words, but when they really fight, they are exactly the same as the monks, no different.
Confucian monks usually swallow pills when practicing. Use spiritual stones when you should. The six arts of cultivation are far more useful than piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Write a few lines of good poems and articles, and people will praise you at most. If you really want to do it, Come on, who will read poems and essays to you?
According to Mo Dao's secret investigation, the reason why the Lu Kingdom's immortal cultivating forces disguise themselves as "Confucianism" is just because some conspirators want to use the records in the ruins from several chaotic eras to develop some imaginary magical powers. .
The various "academies" actually only charge spiritual stone fees, and all they teach are cultivation classics and spells.
The three demon sects migrated here thousands of years ago, and were supported by a distant super demon sect that radiated to dozens of countries. They worked hard to gain a foothold in the Lu Kingdom.
Of course, the road to rebuilding the mountain gate is bound to be bumpy. First of all, the local sects of the Lu Kingdom's cultivation world refused to agree. After an arduous struggle, the three demon sects grew bigger step by step, and finally divided the world equally with the local sects.
And the two vaguely seem to be just a certain super power behind them, a microcosm of the two-pole struggle for hegemony. The Lu State is regarded as the tip of the iceberg on a chessboard battlefield. These are not the inside stories that ordinary monks can understand.
Another five days passed, and the place we walked became more and more desolate. We could see that the villages and even the city at our feet were all empty. The land was bare for thousands of miles, and the fields were full of hungry people. It was a desolate scene.
Everyone was a little surprised. Didn't the three demon sects manage their territory well?
No, in the East China Sea, we remember that the territory and management areas were quite good, and there was no indiscriminate killing of innocent people, massacres of cities, or the like.
With doubts, they arrived at the location marked on the map. They were surrounded by silence and no one was around. In front of them were three towering mountain peaks, like swords holding up the sky, rising tall and majestic.
At the top of the mountain on the right, there is an extraordinary bloody palace, surrounded by a thick sea of blood.
At the top of the middle mountain peak, a statue of the Ghost King with exposed fangs and a ferocious face stands tall in the sea of clouds.
At the top of the mountain on the left, a towering Buddha holds a Buddha seal in his hand and sits cross-legged on a lotus platform with kind eyebrows and kind eyes.
Yan Yuanchun pointed forward and explained to everyone:
"These three spiritual mountains are the main altar of the three demon sects. In order to deal with the attacks of the local factions of the Lu State over the years, they have temporarily become each other's horns back to back."
"Looking from the outside now, it's just the appearance of the three factions, because there is a super mountain guard formation blocking them from the outside."
"When we enter it, we can see the bustling fellow monks."
As they talked, everyone in the Demonic Way showed their eagerness to return home and make a pilgrimage.
We were finally coming to the main forum of the Demon Cult, and everyone was excited beyond words. Although the surroundings were a bit too quiet, and we instinctively felt something was wrong, we didn't think too much about it.
Lin Shan was trembling with excitement. He looked at the towering Buddha on the mountain in the distance and wondered if the Black Lotus Sect had hidden all the incense and vows there. If I could go there and touch it, would there be an ancient charm flowing into it?
Yan Yuanchun made a secret with both hands, and according to the tips given by the map and jade slip left by the sect's Dharma King, he found the correct way in twos and twos, and opened the identity verification of the mountain guarding formation. A rippling circle of light appeared in the air in front of him.
She didn't hesitate and controlled the flying boat to fly into the teleportation portal.
Everyone only felt a ripple sweep across their bodies, and then entered a strange passage, surrounded by blue and black circles. After seeing too much, they felt faintly dizzy and nauseated, and knew that they were in a teleportation.
The patterns around the passage regressed crazily, and in the dim light, it seemed as if the space was extending infinitely. It was the first time they experienced the feeling of teleportation, which made everyone full of curiosity, but they all closed their eyes obediently.
But it didn't last long, just a moment of breathing, and it seemed to have come to an end.
"Whoosh!"
A black circle of light with white edges appeared at the end of the passage, and the flying boat passed directly through it.
The surrounding environment changed drastically in an instant, and noisy and disturbing sounds entered the ears. The two worlds inside and outside were completely different. Everyone felt that their eardrums seemed to be shattered, and they regained their hearing after tinnitus.
"Kill! Destroy the devil's thieves in one fell swoop today!"
"When you are done with the task of eradicating evil, don't hold back, and the three sects will be wiped out with blood!"
"Recover the Kingdom of Lu and drive out the evil!"
"The light of the righteous path shines brightly on the earth~"
……
Lin Shan and others were confused. Isn't this the main altar of the three demon sects? Why are you still singing?
The light of righteousness? Could it be.
After everyone took a closer look, they realized that the place they teleported to was indeed the headquarters of the three demon sects. There were three majestic and huge spiritual mountains standing there, and there was nothing wrong with it.
But now the mountains and plains are densely packed with white-robed monks from the Confucian sect. Judging from the number, there may be hundreds of thousands!
Halfway up the three spiritual mountains, countless demonic monks in black and blood clothes were resisting with difficulty, but they were still retreating steadily and were forced to evacuate towards the top of the mountain.
However, the Confucian monks seemed to have gone crazy. They surrounded them one by one and charged towards the top of the mountain without hesitation. The place became a mess.
The camps on the mountain are clearly divided, and there is a huge fight between black and white at the foot of the mountain. Auras of light shone in the sky, countless explosions rippled, and more than a dozen huge light groups were colliding crazily. They were the masters of the Nascent Soul stage, and they were already fighting to kill each other.
In mid-air, the magic sect's golden elixir monks were flying around with their swords, and the white-robed Confucian scholars were holding pens and magic weapons to splash ink. The two sides were fighting back and forth, and the battle was in full swing, with all kinds of magical powers and spells at their fingertips, and the fight was in full swing!
Everyone on the flying boat who had just rushed in was dumbfounded.
"What's going on? The demon's lair has been attacked? The super mountain guarding formation has been breached? Are we just in time to kill someone?"
Now I contacted the places I passed by outside. Everywhere I saw was deserted. The red land was thousands of miles away, but it was all destroyed by the battle between the two parties! Together with the Lu State, the three demonic sects have been attacked on the doorstep and are about to be wiped out!
"This"
Everyone stared at each other, feeling a bit ridiculous.
They came all the way from the Song Dynasty in a hurry. They left their hometown and had no information channels. They had no idea about the stolen home at the headquarters of the Lu State. As a result, they happened to catch up with the Confucian Sect's final general attack and plunged into the battlefield!
Lin Shan was even more confused with his eyes wide open. I planned to come here to enjoy the popular food and drink spicy food, but on the first day I came here, the class was not completed yet, and the company was about to close down? ! !
Thinking back to the sudden breach of trust and withdrawal of the two major allies of the Demonic Dao in the Song Dynasty, and the waiting and waiting for the support of the general altar that could not come no matter what, it suddenly became clear that they were linked together in an instant.
But they couldn't help but think too much. The moment they entered the super mountain-protecting formation of the three demon sects, a coalition of Confucian monks discovered them. They directly turned the black rune cannon and fired two "bang bang" shots at the airship. come over.
"Boom!"
For a moment, the light dazzled the eyes, and everyone on the flying boat felt violent vibrations. The defensive array on the flying boat shattered like an egg shell at a touch. Everyone was in shock and before they had time to take action, the vehicle under their feet exploded into pieces. The sky is full of debris!
A huge and blazing fire storm swept across, and Lin Shan was directly blown away by the air wave for an unknown distance, falling in a parabola onto a low mountain battlefield below.
At this moment, his head was swollen, he had a splitting headache and was dizzy. Those rune shells were definitely strategic-level weapons in the world of cultivation.
Fortunately, when he landed from the air, he had the help of the Black Skeleton Demon Lord and the Xuxing Panji Ling Xiaoxin, but he fell all over and hurt everywhere on his body.
"Buzz~buzz~"
After rubbing his battered eardrums to relieve his pain, Lin Shan opened his eyes and found that the surrounding area was full of broken walls and corpses. Countless demonic and Confucian monks threw themselves on the street and fell to the ground, bleeding like rivers.
There were still a few small waves of people fighting not far away, and the large army was already participating in the attack on the main peak nearby. His side was regarded as a position that had been abandoned by the devil.
Lin Shan hurriedly got up, looked around and found that there were not many people around, and felt a little calmer.
Looking at Lingshan, the main peak of the Black Lotus Sect, from a distance, I saw the densely packed monks shouting to kill Zhentian. Artillery positions were arranged at random in the rear. The raging offensive was overwhelming, and countless meteors and fire rain poured out. The front row of monks on both sides looked like He fell down like wheat, and I couldn't help but shudder!
"Forget it, forget it, I can't afford to provoke it. I can't get involved in this kind of war in the world of cultivation. This demon sect doesn't wait, it's a matter of life, so run away!"
The mini skeleton hanging on his body also hurriedly echoed, and offered suggestions: "Let's go find Old Man Zhong. He is a master in the Nascent Soul stage. Following him to break out will definitely save your life."
Before he finished speaking, Master Huang Xian, who had just come to his feet in the distant sky, was intercepted by a Confucian Nascent Soul monk, and a battle broke out between the two.
Seeing that the situation there was not good, the Black Skull Demon Lord gave Lin Shan a series of suggestions: "Old Man Zhong's goal is too big, and it is not advisable to be honest with him. We should go to Protector Yan. With her golden elixir level cultivation, we can do it." Take us.”
Before he finished speaking, Yan Yuanchun, who had just stabilized his figure on the other side of the sky, was stared at by a female cultivator of the golden elixir stage from the Confucian sect, and she directly activated her magic weapon to kill her.
The Black Skull Demon Lord was stunned for a moment, and then offered him another plan: "It doesn't matter, Protector Yan's goal in the golden elixir period is not small, and it's easy to be dragged down by following her. We might as well gather the old troops and join forces with the little girl Luan Chun, they can distract us Firepower makes it easier to escape"
On the other side, Luan Chun and a group of demonic monks who fell into the crowd were directly discovered by the Confucian and Taoist coalition forces. A white torrent rushed over and the two sides fell into a fierce fight. In an instant, they could not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
The Black Skull Demon Lord was silent for a moment, facing Lin Shan's faint gaze, and finally said bravely: "Let's escape alone. One person's goal is small, no one will notice."
"Hahahaha, I finally found the fish that slipped through the net during the shelling just now. This guy was even unscathed after being shot twice. It seems like this is an opportunity for the two of us to earn some merit!"
Two white-robed Confucian scholars flew in from a short distance away. They both exuded the spiritual pressure of the Foundation Establishment Stage. They had obviously locked onto the target when the flying boat swooped in, and specifically crossed the battlefield to find Lin Shan.
The Black Skull Demon Lord became mute and simply pretended to be a coward and stopped.
Two white-robed Confucian scholars stopped Lin Shan here, with eyes as if they were sizing up prey, and they began to talk and laugh as if no one was watching, as if the monk in front of them was already in the bag.
"Brother Zhu, this person is already in the middle stage of foundation building at a young age. Why can't he think of returning to the Demon Sect to die?"
"Who knows this? Our Confucian sect coalition has been attacking for two full years. This kid is probably hiding outside and suffering a lot. In the end, it is difficult to give up and plan to live and die with the Demon Sect!"
"I didn't expect that there are such loyal people in the Demon Dao. It is really valuable. It is a pity that the Demon Sect's mountain guarding formation has been blocked by my elders from the Confucian sect. He can't get in or out, otherwise he could be allowed to live."
"Brother Dai, you are just too soft-hearted. If you had left it in our academy, you would have crushed this kid to ashes long ago!"
……
These two Confucian scholars had seen the dangers of frontline battles, and they were afraid of the supervising team and did not dare to escape from the army. They had no choice but to clean the battlefield in the rear position to see if they could pick up any leaks, but they just happened to discover Lin Shan.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to make a quick decision and wanted to continue fishing in troubled waters, so he simply left Lin Shan aside.
Lin Shan calmed down the oscillating spiritual power in his body for a while. The bombardment just now was really powerful. Thanks to the star power delivered by the virtual star disk to help him recover, the two Confucian scholars in front of him were delaying time just as he wanted.
I just listened to what they said. Can I enter or leave the sect-protecting formation?
How do I escape?
The bases of the three demon sects were all invaded, apparently because half of the Song Dynasty's troops were taken away, leaving the rear empty and difficult to resist. The most important thing is that almost all the Song Dynasty Expeditionary Army was wiped out, and not even one of them managed to escape, which greatly damaged the Demon Sect's vitality.
It is estimated that the Confucian and Taoist coalition has been secretly watching the news of the Demon Dao army's expedition to the Song Dynasty. When they learned that after the battle of Zixiao Sect, the Demon Dao Yuan Ying period fell one after another, so they boldly regained the lost ground and launched a full-scale general attack.
With his eyes and ears listening in all directions, Lin Shan knew that the demonic path was over and that if he stayed, he would surely die or not. The most important thing at the moment is to find a way to escape, but it's hard to get in and out of the Demon Gate Mountain Guard Formation.
Seeing the two people in front of him vaguely blocking his escape route during the conversation, Lin Shan's eyes flashed with an undetectable light, and he stepped forward and bowed his hands in a slight salute.
The two people didn't dare to be negligent when they saw this, and quickly returned the salute.
Lin Shan looked calm, as if he was born and raised: "Why didn't the two Taoist brothers go to the front to kill the devil's thieves, but instead stopped Xiaosheng from behind?"
"Huh?"
The two looked at each other and asked with confusion: "Isn't my brother a demon thief?"
Lin Shan looked innocent and spread his hands: "I was just passing by here and accidentally broke into the battlefield. How do you think I look like someone from the devil's path?"
