Chapter 527: Going south together, inside Chixiao City
"Recently, Hongdu University changed its name and calls itself Hongdu New University."
"The implication is that we are different from other schools. We have jumped out of that grade, but we have not been promoted to the school for the time being."
"This move violates the old system and disrupts the rules of etiquette, but most of the local forces in southwestern Shandong acquiesce, which has caused widespread discussion in the cultivation world."
In the world of Lu's cultivation, the topic of this kind of change can generally stir up a thousand waves with one stone.
The top ten academies are high above, and the universities below are looking up eagerly.
And you are in the middle, and you create a "new mansion" in an ingenious way to show your uniqueness, which will naturally cause a lot of controversy.
The establishment of Hongdu Xinfu, as a mezzanine transitional stage, is really eye-catching. This wave of advertising effect alone is indeed full.
The entire Lu Kingdom, no matter the upper or lower levels, were all shocked.
Taking advantage of the top power in the central region to close the mountain and rise as strongly as the Lujiang League, the timing is just right!
Basically, there will be no need to worry about recruiting students in the future. A large number of monks will definitely come here, which is a good move.
Of course, there are also many jealous people among them.
Especially after nearly a century of fighting and fighting, Hongdu Xinfu also climbed to the final high position on the corpses of countless mathematicians. Many enemies were secretly watching, waiting to see their jokes.
The size of Yunchuan Academy is here, so naturally you won't be jealous, but it is related to the joining of new members of the top ten academies, and relevant discussions have been made internally.
"A while ago, the Chief had an agreement with other academies. He will remain neutral on this trip. He will only observe the ceremony and not take any stand. Who among you wants to go?"
It is said that the chief professor of Yunchuan Academy has been in seclusion all year round and is preparing to break through the Nascent Soul stage. It is rare to see him on weekdays. Master Gu is still responsible for everything.
Now telling the inside information directly in front of Lin Shan is obviously a recognition of his strength and status, and he does not intend to hide it.
The Jindan practitioners below were whispering to each other.
This trip south is equivalent to a business trip at public expense.
It's diplomatic in nature, but it's not that difficult, because according to the academy's stance, it requires remaining neutral. You just stand there and watch the ceremony, and that's it when people arrive.
This did not take long, and five gentlemen expressed their willingness to go.
Some want to go sightseeing, some want to drop by to visit friends, some want to go out on vacation, and some simply want to investigate preparatory schools.
There is another one, Zhou Zhenren, a doctor of the Five Classics.
As the royal diplomat of Yunchuan Academy, he is graceful and good at dancing. He usually takes the lead in such occasions.
Others are just making up the numbers.
After the three old professors present finalized the decision, they wrote a long congratulatory message on the spot and stamped it with the seal of the college and their own seals.
Delivered to Zhenren Zhou.
As a professor, his calligraphy and literary talent are of course at the level of a generation.
Lin Shan suddenly realized after looking at it.
Almost forgot!
It seems that I haven’t written any congratulatory messages or seals on behalf of the Lujiang League!
Just at this time, a person came outside the hall.
It was Yang Zhenren, deputy leader of the Lujiang League.
"Hahaha, all the uncles, brothers and fellow apprentices from Yunchuan Academy, Yang is late!"
Yang Zhenren also studied at Yunchuan Academy, so he is very familiar with it.
"Brother Yang is here just in time, hurry up and take a seat!"
Many gentlemen greeted him without anyone noticing.
Yang Zhenren returned the courtesy one by one. After seeing Lin Shan, he came over and sat down next to him without hesitation.
"Leader, I'm here."
"Hmm"
Lin Shan nodded, hesitant to speak.
Yang Zhenren looked at the field. The scroll was spread out a full foot long, with pen and ink spread across it, dragons and phoenixes dancing. How could he not guess it?
"Don't worry, Alliance Leader. I took the big seal of our Lujiang Alliance with me before I went out. When the time comes, you can write whatever you want."
"Thank you for your trouble."
Lin Shan let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had an old man to back him up.
I almost forgot about this.
Who knows that he is not a native of the Lu country and does not know much about this custom. When the time comes, others will offer various gifts and he will be embarrassed there. It is really not appropriate.
"Where's your congratulatory message? Have you written it? Let me take a look?"
Without saying anything, Master Yang took out something like a memorial and handed it directly to Lin Shan.
He looked at it and found that he was indeed very talented in literature. There were also many talented people in the Yang family, and their level was quite good.
Stamped on the back is the family seal of the Yang family, a family of cultivators.
"Okay, think about it for me, how to write the congratulatory message of our Lujiang Alliance when the time comes."
As the leader of the alliance, you must leave things to your subordinates, and you can just take what is ready.
Yang Zhenren stretched his neck and glanced at He Zhang, the three major professors of Yunchuan Academy, and asked him with some uncertainty.
"Why do I feel that Yunchuan Academy's position is relatively neutral? How about our Lujiang League, are we also neutral?"
"Write it neutrally first."
Lin Shan didn't know much about the new force of Hongdu Xinfu, so he planned to wear a pair of pants with Yunchuan Academy. Whatever the big brother did, he would do the same.
The five golden elixir masters sent messages to their relatives and friends, and gave the courses to their subordinates to teach. After receiving congratulations from the three major professors, they got up and prepared to set off.
Lin Shan and Yang Zhenren also resigned together and stepped out of Yunqi Cliff together.
The seven people carried them all the way, heading south in a straight line.
Chixiao City.
"Crack!"
A crisp cracking sound came from inside the house. People in the yard outside all lowered their heads and pretended not to hear it.
The young master's temper has become worse and worse recently.
"Waste, waste, all waste!"
A beautiful woman walked in from outside the hospital. Although she was middle-aged, she walked enchantingly with a twist at the waist, ribbons hanging on her arms, and exquisite eye makeup.
"What's wrong, Chen'er? Are you throwing things and beating and scolding the servants again?"
The beautiful woman walked into the room and casually glanced at the broken tea cups on the ground and the kneeling maids on both sides.
A short and thin young man was gnashing his teeth with dark eyes and talking non-stop.
If you listen carefully, you can hear him cursing, and there are quite a few people scolding him.
He scolded his brother for taking his position, scolded those who sought out ancient religions for being overbearing, scolded those in business who had nothing to lose, and scolded his subordinates for being weak and incompetent.
"You guys will go down first."
Seeing that her son was incompetent and furious, the beautiful woman calmly issued an expulsion order to the surrounding maids.
Each of these maids breathed a sigh of relief. Their bodies were covered with scars. As the young master's irritable punching bag, beating and scolding was just a routine operation.
If they still don’t understand their hatred, they will be forced to do some shameful things together
That kind of mental and physical torture makes it difficult for many sisters to sleep at night.
"Chen'er, you are no longer the child you were before. As the deputy city lord of Chixiao City, you must consider yourself and the overall situation in every word and deed!"
"Why do most of your father's old subordinates support you? It's not because they hope you can revitalize the old business!"
"Cheer up, smash the conspiracy of the Xun Gu Sect, expel the infiltration of the enemy's forces, and finally avenge your father's murder!"
"Look what you look like now!"
Without the servant, the beautiful woman's face was as cold as frost, and she scolded her son unceremoniously.
The young man also did not appreciate it, but looked at his mother with a sinister expression. "You don't need to tell me what I am like! Whoever asked you to drive them away, call them back!"
"Also, find me some virgin nuns."
"Tonight, let me hunt to my heart's content!"
"Presumptuous!"
The beautiful woman stretched out her fingers and looked at her own flesh and blood for the first time in disbelief.
"Now that your wings are strong, how dare you talk to me like this?"
The young man did not back down and stared straight into the eyes.
"I am the deputy city lord of Chixiao City. Is there any problem with talking to you like this?"
"You"
The beautiful woman was so angry that she was trembling all over, and wanted to slap the traitor, but when she saw the evil look in his eyes, she was a little unfamiliar, so she couldn't do it.
"Chen'er, you have changed. When your father was here, you used to be respectful, humble and polite. How come you are like this now?"
"Don't mention it to me!"
The young man roared angrily, as if his weak spot was suddenly poked, arousing all the anger in his body.
"The past was before, the present is now."
"I used to have no power, I wanted money but no money, I wanted status but no status, why can't I pretend to be a grandson?!"
"Now, I am the heir, I am the rightful owner of Chixiao City, and I am no longer the child you manipulated!"
This roar was filled with years of sadness and grievance, and that forbearance had lasted for more than ten years. It was a nightmare that lingered in his youth.
"Then you can't do whatever you want, collect supplements arbitrarily, and gather people for lewdness. This will let our allies see that the person they support is such a virtuous person. He indulges in gentle country music and does not miss Shu. How can you laugh to death?"
"Ahahahaha!"
The young man staggered, took the wine bottle in his hand and drank it all in one gulp, laughing wildly.
"Allies?"
"Are they worthy of calling me allies?"
"Businessmen are just a bunch of pigs and dogs."
He spoke word by word, patted the beautiful woman's face with his palms, "pa", "pa", "pa", with such wild and wanton temper that anyone who saw it would think he was crazy.
That is his biological mother!
How rude!
The beautiful woman's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it.
"You"
"What am I?"
The young man spun around in circles, swaying left and right in the room, carrying a wine bottle, laughing silently with his mouth wide open and his eyes wide open.
"I'm just a pawn for you and the merchant!"
"And you are not from Chixiao City at all. You married here just to help your mother's family and seize my property in Chixiao City!"
"Your brothers and sisters, under the slogan of helping me drive away the Xun Gu Sect, are encroaching on my city step by step and seizing the cultivation resources left by that dead ghost father."
"I've almost been shorted by you, and you're asking me to cheer up."
His expression was exaggerated, and he put his face next to the beautiful woman's ear, with a ferocious mouth and a soft voice.
"What's the use of cheering up? What I can get is to be your dog"
"."
The beautiful woman's throat was blocked, and she was speechless for a moment as she watched her son being driven crazy.
She was once the daughter of a merchant and married the former Lord of Chixiao City.
As a member of the Shuchu tribe, his status in the family is not high, and it is basically difficult to get ahead. The hierarchy is solidified and interests are tied up. The only way out is to find a way out.
It is obviously better to marry a Jindan master with a different surname than to stay in the clan and be unable to hold oneself up.
Fortunately.
She later actually gave birth to an heir to the Lord of Chixiao City, an heir with spiritual roots, so she suddenly transformed from a concubine to Mrs. Shang!
You know, the higher the monk's cultivation level, the harder it is to give birth to children.
During his lifetime, the Lord of Chixiao City worked hard every night, had many wives and concubines, and only had two sons with spiritual roots.
In contrast, the eldest son formed a clique, and the younger son was humble and kind. The Lord of Chixiao City was in his prime, so he naturally liked the younger son more.
He had a good idea. He deposed the eldest son first to pave the way for the younger son.
When he is old, he can successfully support his younger son to take over.
But who would have thought that something unexpected could happen.
The lord of Chixiao City followed Jingxuan and his elders to the Lujiang League, but was beaten to death by those ruthless people from Lin Shan!
Afterwards, they sent people over to capture Chixiao City.
If it hadn't been for the delay and obstruction from the old tribe of Chixiao City, I'm afraid the Xun Gu Sect would have succeeded!
The Xun Gu Sect discovered that Chixiao City was hostile to their family, so they deliberately supported the deposed eldest son to cleanse the hostile forces.
Mrs. Shang saw that the situation was not good.
After all, once the eldest son succeeds to the throne, he will definitely have surgery on his youngest son. There is nothing to say about this, it is just to stabilize his position.
So in order to save myself, I took the initiative to invite my parents’ family to help.
The common people and elders from various clans at the merchant's side heard that there was meat here. They smelled it like wolves and crowded over, all wanting a piece of the meat.
At the beginning, with the support of the local factions and merchants in Chixiao City, the Xungu Sect was indeed unable to survive alone. It was so compressed that it almost wiped out Chixiao City.
However, the turning point came that year.
Mu Yan,
Breakthrough to the late stage of foundation building!
This son is extremely terrifying. He is the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall of the Xun Gu Sect. He leads a group of elites from the family. He is brave enough to fight and often 'leapfrog' at every turn.
In the early stage of foundation building, attack in the middle stage of foundation building,
In the middle stage of foundation building, fight in the late stage of foundation building!
Fortunately, the locals and merchants were outnumbered, and they could press on with their numerical advantage.
But when others build the foundation in the later stages.
This group of people suddenly discovered that it seemed that their late-stage foundation building could no longer check and balance this kid!
On the day Mu Yan came out of seclusion, he massacred everyone in Chixiao City, beheading several foundation-building monks and driving the locals and merchants out of several streets.
Afterwards, there was nothing he could do, so the merchant went back to ask for help.
First, they invited the older commoner clan elders to come over to hold down the battle. After they found out that they were no match, they spent a lot of money to invite the masters of late foundation building from the direct lineage to come over, but they were no match yet.
As a last resort, the business genius in Shang Yang Academy who was on the eve of breaking through the golden elixir stage was called over to give Mu Yan a good education.
As a result, the business genius who had never failed since childhood was beaten to the point of doubting his life. He made three bloody moves and fled in embarrassment.
It is said that after returning to Shang Yang Academy, he was depressed for several years and could no longer adjust to the critical state of breaking through the golden elixir stage.
For this reason, the business owners and the elders of the Jindan stage were furious.
In view of the Xun Gu Sect's background in the Lujiang League, it was inconvenient to take action personally to bully the small ones, so they paid for the murderers and hired notorious underground masters from areas close to the border of the Demonic Path, such as East Shandong and North Shandong.
It is said that these people often take advantage of both Confucianism and Demonism, have rich experience in assassination, are ruthless, cunning, vile and shameless, and do anything to the extreme.
As long as the reward is in place, there is no target that cannot be killed.
To be on the safe side, the merchant invited four masters who were at the peak of the late stage of foundation building!
Then,
Then, on a dark and windy night, Mu Yan killed three people in front of his house and seriously injured one.
The one who was seriously injured in the end vomited blood all the way to the gate of Chixiao City. Seeing that the city was approaching, he died.
This time the merchant was completely dumbfounded.
"This kid is so evil!"
