Chapter 525: Divination cultivator appears unexpectedly, and Mu Yan becomes famous
Ancestor Lu Que's deer head shook from side to side, as if he was lost in memories.
"Thirty years ago, I relied on fuzzy sensing to head north. When I passed a small town on the northern border of Yan State, I met a wandering Taoist priest."
"This person has a loud voice and an extraordinary temperament. The key is that his spiritual consciousness is completely incomprehensible. It makes me feel very mysterious."
"He stopped me directly on the street"
The Yan Kingdom is a country of demons. Although Patriarch Lu Que was a headless man at that time, it was not a big deal in the Demonic Fairy Town.
Many people in the devil's path like to follow evil ways and train their bodies to look like human beings or ghosts. Therefore, everyone's aesthetic thresholds are uneven, and they have long been accustomed to it.
"He grabbed me on the street and wanted to tell me a fortune."
"At that time, I had just had a fight with a sect on the road. I was in a depressed mood. Coupled with the charm of this man's words, I couldn't help but follow him."
"In the end, he only asked a few words, and I briefly talked about what was bothering me, and then he put the whole incident back to its original state and explained it clearly!"
"This includes you, my brother. You, the leader of the Wind and Thunder series, are both soul cultivators, possess double elixirs, pretend to be Lei Fengzi, the deer head is in your hand, and a series of other truths."
"Afterwards, I only received three spiritual stones as fortune-telling money"
When Lin Shan heard this, his face became a little solemn.
It wasn't that Patriarch Lu Que exposed him for lying, nor was it that his dual cultivation of the Golden Pill and Soul Pill was seen through.
But this Taoist Yunyou suddenly understood the essence of the matter just by relying on a few words from Patriarch Lu Que!
This is simply not something ordinary people can do!
"I suspect that this person is probably a divination practitioner who is extinct in the world!"
Divination.
Manage the heaven and earth, and predict the past and present with the hexagrams.
Such people were extremely rare in ancient times, hard to see, elusive and secretive.
Nowadays, it is even rarer to see.
Ancestor Lu Que only had doubts and did not dare to be 100% sure.
Because divination has always been a research topic of all the top sects.
Among the top ten academies in the State of Lu, there are many gentlemen who specialize in teaching this subject.
When Lin Shan was studying in Yunchuan, he had also listened to some such courses, but they were just superficial and insignificant to him.
If you want to become a true divination practitioner, every link is essential, whether it is the corresponding qualifications and understanding, or even inheritance and karma.
The gentlemen from Yunchuan Academy only have a basic knowledge of it.
If they really tell people's fortunes, they can at best point out a vague direction based on the case experience given in ancient books.
In the world of cultivation, divination is mostly used in dream interpretation.
Because there are most cases of dream interpretation in ancient books, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and sometimes it works well and sometimes it doesn’t work.
Therefore, many scammers were born.
However, the person that Patriarch Lu Que met was obviously not a liar. He had real skills. Even Linshan Shuangdan fellow practitioners could guess it, which was quite impressive!
In a trance.
Lin Shan suddenly remembered Zuo Ning, the son of Zuo Zhenren, who had also heard a wandering Taoist guide him in the northern Song Dynasty, which is now Yichuan in the southern part of the Yan Kingdom.
At that time, he wanted to extend the longevity of Zuo Zhenren, but the only thing the Song Dynasty could find was the "Seven Evil Soul Locking Technique".
I originally thought this was a trap.
But after Lin Shan actually obtained this small magical power, he discovered that this technique could really temporarily lock Zuo Zhenren's soul and delay aging and death.
It's just that it's too difficult to obtain, and with Zuo Ning's strength, it's certainly not possible.
In fact, in the end, with Lin Shan's help, the boy went to Nanman and finally obtained the "Seven Evil Soul Locking Technique". Even if he didn't catch the last train before Zuo Zhenren's death, he still failed to live up to the wandering Taoist priest's prediction.
You can see how powerful it is!
Lin Shan immediately ordered people to find Zuo Ning.
After a while, this person came to him and Patriarch Lu Que.
Thirty years have passed, and he has become a monk in the foundation-building stage from the late stage of Qi training.
"Senior, are you looking for me?"
Lin Shan looked at him. He was only in his fifties now and still looked like a young man. He seemed to have pretty good qualifications. After all, he was the successor of Zuo Zhenren.
Of course, according to the establishment, they are members of Brother Ji Kun's teaching team. They are currently being trained by the Xungu Education Committee and are just looking for some tasks and things to do.
Long time no see, so I asked briefly how I was doing.
"Thanks to my family's leader and seniors, everything is fine in Tianfu Mountain. Manager Lu of the Xungu Sect and my fellow disciples also take good care of me."
"That's good."
Lin Shan nodded and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he talked about the wandering Taoist priest he used to be.
After comparing it with what Patriarch Lu Que said, it turned out that he was the same person in terms of his dress, demeanor and tone!
The world is so big, it’s such a coincidence!
"It seems that this wandering Taoist priest is indeed a great master."
Lin Shan sighed while stroking his palms, his mind drifting away.
Ancestor Lu Que seemed to understand what he was thinking, and he was probably thirsty for talents.
"Does the leader want to recruit such great talents under his command?"
"That's true."
"I think it's probably impossible. This person has the ability to recognize the secrets of heaven. He may be practicing in the world of mortals. He is not stuck in one place, nor does he work specifically for a certain force."
"Oh, you are right."
Lin Shan had many doubts of his own, and often wanted to have a divination master to calculate things for him, especially after knowing the abilities of wandering Taoist priests.
However, he also knew that it was difficult to recruit such people, so he just sighed.
The world is so big, you will probably not encounter it in the future.
Send Zuo Ning away.
When we arrived at the meeting hall on the top of the mountain, except for those who were out, most of the senior officials of the Xun Gu Sect were already here. They had been waiting for a long time.
Lin Shan sat on the leader's throne, with Master Zhankong and Patriarch Lu Que sitting on either side.
First, let’s talk about Patriarch Lu Que’s joining the Xun Gu Sect.
Logically speaking, the sect has added a late-stage golden elixir master, so it should be celebrated with a decent ceremony.
Just in the daytime, so many golden elixir-level monks from the Lujiang League arrived together. Since they had already witnessed it, there was no need to go through such trouble and invite all forces to watch the ceremony again.
On the spot, Patriarch Lu Que was canonized as the elder of the sect.
He ordered his servants to plan a place in the back mountain to find a place rich in spiritual energy to build a main hall, a cave, an experimental field, a monster garden, a lake around the island, and other facilities. Find a place not far below the mountain and dig canals to divert water, build a snake valley, and keep pets for Ancestor Lu Que.
His good treatment makes people jealous, which shows Lin Shan's thoughtfulness.
Ancestor Lu Que was just a casual cultivator in the East China Sea. He was used to walking alone, and it was the same wherever he went.
If Xun Gu Sect can satisfy his needs, then there is no harm in staying here in seclusion. The most important thing is that he is restricted by the previous bet and can only fall into the trap.
There are now more and more foundation-building monks below. Not counting those who go out, there are still more than a dozen people on site.
Some of them are disciples of Master Zhankong, and some are talents recruited from Jingyang Academy and Yunchuan Academy.
"Master, after a long period of confrontation, the situation on the northern front is getting more and more anxious. Half of the disciples in our sect have been sent to support."
"Now it has attracted the attention of the two regions of Western Shandong and Northwest Shandong. Everyone is waiting to see how the competition between our religion and the merchants will end."
“There are even some careerists spreading rumors everywhere, claiming that this is a proxy fight supported by the Lujiang League and Shangyang Academy. The ultimate goal is to incite a cross-regional war between Western Lu and northwest Lu, causing internal strife in Lu! ”
Lu Xiuming talked about the biggest thing today.
Those who spread rumors need not even think about it. They are either local snakes that Luxi and the Lujiang League cannot deal with, or they are competitors that are not pleasing to the merchants in northwestern Lu.
As for the long-term confrontation, why the merchants insisted on settling in Chixiao City and Happy Forest, insisting on opposing the Xun Gu Sect, was gradually found out.
It turns out that this has to mention the development of aristocratic families in the world of cultivation.
Ordinary cultivation families, as time goes by, some gradually decline, and will be eliminated by the law of the jungle. Some will gradually expand and expand as their talents flourish.
At the merchant level, it has become a giant family. Basically, as long as there are no serious problems and it can be guaranteed that every generation has an ancestor who is in the late Golden Core stage, it will probably not decline.
But how can there be a prosperous family in this world?
As time passed, the family became overcrowded, its development stagnated, and its factions became bloated, so it was necessary to expand outwards.
And because of the polarization of interest distribution, even if many children of common concubines are not bad at talent, they cannot get enough of the pie to grab the direct lineage, and the conflict will become more and more serious.
The only way to divert class conflicts is to provoke disputes externally.
In any world, this is the same logic.
Without exception.
Therefore, the elders of the merchants acquiesced and allowed the factions of the family to expand externally and plunder resources and real estate.
The masters of Chixiao City and Happy Forest happened to be killed by Lin Shan. They were leaderless. It was a good time for them to take advantage of the situation.
In addition, under the banner of avenging the old city lord and resisting the erosion of the Lujiang League and the Xungu Sect, he can also be accepted by the local forces.
Moreover, they had a plan a long time ago. There was an in-law relationship in Chixiao City and there was investment in infrastructure in Happy Forest, so they settled in openly.
The Xun Gu Sect seems to be a bit unreasonable here.
Killing the leader with the front foot and coming to seize the territory with the back foot will naturally arouse the hostility of the original natives.
However, there are reasons. Just integrating the Lujiang River Basin and supporting the pro-Lujiang Alliance forces, others have nothing to say.
After so many years, puppets supported by each other came to power in both places, splitting the original Chixiao City and Happy Forest into two halves.
The city lord of Chixiao City is looking for the ancient religion, the deputy city lord is looking for the merchants, the first head of Happy Forest is looking for the merchants, and the second head is looking for the ancient religion, and they are attacking each other.
"The person that the Pastor of the Hall supported in Chixiao City was the eldest son who was deposed by the original Lord of Chixiao City. Because he was dissatisfied with his father's preference for his younger brother, he was willing to be a pawn of my Xungu Sect. After he succeeded the Lord of the City, he would obey our words. ”
"The merchant is supporting the fourth son of the original Lord of Chixiao City, who is the legitimate son born to Mrs. Shang. He has the support of most of the elders of the old tribe. After he succeeded as deputy city lord, he always opposed our Xun Gu Sect."
"However, because our religion has a first-mover advantage there, and the strength of the leader of the Pastoral Hall has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, which is enough to suppress all the gangsters, we have a slight advantage in the situation in Chixiao City."
"We actually have the advantage?"
Lin Shan was unexpectedly happy that his subordinates could stand alone without the leader, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Lu Xiuming and the senior management present sighed repeatedly:
"Master Mu Yan Mu has always had the myth of being invincible at the same level, which has overwhelmed the entire Chixiao City. Since breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, he has defeated many Foundation Establishment stage monks sent by merchants."
< br>
"Later, the merchant had no choice but to invite a business genius from Shangyang Academy, a leader of the younger generation, but he was still seriously injured on the spot by the pastor!"
"It was said that the scene took less than three rounds, and the business geniuses fought bloody battles, which almost shocked the people around them!"
"Afterwards, there was not much reaction from the Lu State, but there was a lot of heated discussion from the Shangyang Academy. It seems that the genius of Shang was very famous in northwest Shandong, but he did not expect to fall into the dust when he came to western Shandong."
"The businessman became so angry that he decided to hire a famous assassin from the underground world of cultivation to assassinate him in a sneak attack!"
"The Master of the Pastoral Hall was alone and killed four assassins of the same rank who were on the black list. The last one escaped with serious injuries and died three days later."
Speaking of this, everyone's expressions couldn't help but be weird.
The limelight of the Xun Gu Sect in the past few decades seems to have been brought about by this kid Mu Yan. Everyone in Luxi knew that the Xun Gu Sect had a genius who was invincible at the same level and could challenge from time to time.
The key point is, how come this kind of talented person can grow up to be so powerful without ever studying in an academy?
Lin Shan was not surprised.
He had long realized that this kid was outrageous. When he took him under his command, he knew that this would happen sooner or later, so now he is the calmest.
If you just retreat and break through to the middle stage of Golden Elixir, there is nothing wrong with others advancing to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Since Chixiao City is being taken care of by his subordinates, there is no need to worry too much.
As a leader, I just want to enjoy myself. The work must be done by my subordinates, otherwise I will feed them for free?
"Happy Forest is just the opposite. We are at a disadvantage as a whole."
"As the sworn brother of Shi Ensanren, the current head of the family has won over most of the old tribes that are hostile to us and joined the merchants to fight against us."
"The second master was a traitor to Happy Forest back then. He was found by Chief Gao and asked to return to the throne, so he is not very popular."
"Faced with the pressure from the big bosses and businesses, we have been retreating step by step over the years. Recently, we couldn't stop it anymore, so we sent a group of reinforcements from the church to help."
The progress of becoming a high-ranking person is not smooth, because he is not as powerful as Mu Yan, a perverted kid, and the team and team are all miscellaneous. He has incorporated the loan shark organization of the old Mo, which is notorious in Happy Forest and everyone wants to beat him up.
The hatred of San people who were exploited by merchants to show their favors intensified the conflict, making it difficult for the Xun Gu Sect to move forward there.
Lin Shan didn't say anything after hearing this, and it didn't hurt.
In fact, he had previously been very optimistic about Gao Daoda, who was bold, careful, and agile in doing things. Although he was relatively dark and clumsy, he was very handy and suitable for doing dirty work for him.
It's a pity that the talent and strength are there. Faced with the background of a giant family like Merchant, it's normal that he can't stop him.
How many foundation-building monks does the merchant have?
How many foundation-building monks does Xun Gu Sect have?
There is still a gap in the overall quality between established forces and emerging forces.
"Since things come and go in the north, there are advantages and disadvantages, then just hold on and wait and see what happens."
"Tell me about the information about the Swallowing Star Gate in the Swallowing Star Mountains on the Demonic Chu Kingdom's side!"
"Especially, how far have they reached in their search for the secret treasure of True Lord Yuxing?"
Lin Shan was always paying attention to this and asked Li Yuanjie, who was specifically responsible for this matter.
