Xiaoqingliang Mountains are located in the west of Beijing.
This mountainous area is part of the Taihang Mountains. The ancients called it the "head of the Taihang Mountains". The mountains are undulating and the peaks are connected, like dragons and pythons, guarding the entire capital from a distance.
The mountain is so vast, but there are not many really steep places in it. The scenery is excellent and there is no miasma. The forest is vast, the smoke is shining, the mangroves and blue flowers, the green forest and ancient vines, with purple and red colors, are all in all seasons. Yes, very suitable for outing.
Over the past hundreds of years, countless literati have been fascinated by its scenery in all seasons, enjoyed it, or left poems about it, adding to the splendor of the scenic spot.
Within Xiaoqingliang Mountain, peaks such as Cuiwei Mountain, Pingpo Mountain, Lushi Mountain, and Xiangshan Mountain, which are close to the city, have been transformed by enclosures, and many palaces, temples, and even royal gardens have been built.
Yi Nanfeng, the Xiantian leader, stands on the main peak of Xiangshan Mountain. From a distance, he can almost see the outline of the capital dozens of miles away. From a closer look, he can see the summer palace run by the royal families of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
Those mountain cliff carvings, such as Jingping Lake, that were excavated and excavated by manpower, have been polished by time and become part of the natural scenery. They are beautiful and miraculous.
He turned to look to the west again.
Between the other mountain peaks of Xiaoqingliang Mountain, there are also many gardens created by high-level officials of the Xiantian Sect, and there are even villa parks developed based on Western architectural styles.
Although it is slightly jagged and has abrupt edges and corners, it has a more rugged and magnificent beauty than the royal gardens.
The scale of the gardens operated by the royal families of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties in Xiaoqingliang Mountain was not comparable to the buildings built by the senior members of the Xiantian Sect, who recruited civilians, dispatched materials, and built them in just a few decades.
“Times have indeed changed. Aren’t those emperors and officials in the past as extravagant and lustful as me, my old brothers?”
“But even if they can recruit Craftsmen and civilians, no matter the cost, do not have so many new equipment, new building materials, and new transportation routes to help them squander."
"Although we have only occupied the land in the past few decades. We have come to the north, but we have really achieved what we said during the uprising, the blood-based alliance. All the old brothers can enjoy the blessings, glory, wealth, official title, fame, beauties and horses, and they can take whatever they want and do whatever they want."
The Xiantian leader murmured to himself, "In such a great era, there are still some things that don't go well. There are those ignorant people who are obstructing us and insisting on going against us."
"It would be great if I was the only one in the world who knew martial arts. I wouldn't have to worry so much about curing those bastards."
Between the shadows of the trees, a figure with a white cloth wrapped around his forehead walked up. The slightly fat man in brocade clothes raised his hand Said: "Master, the giant businessmen in He Zong's territory who intend to flee to us have been accepted by us and settled." Those who escaped were given official positions, and the remaining The people below are a little restless and jealous now."
The Xiantian leader smiled and said: "Then continue to seal them. These people are engaged in the cigarette business, spice business, Western medicine miracle medicine, etc., all with foreigners. There are many connections, and the connections are not small. If they are on our territory, they will naturally be useful in the future. We need to give them some comfort.”
The man in brocade frowned slightly: “As a result, there will be a lot more names on the official list. ”
During the Qing Dynasty, the official system was very cumbersome. There were too many checks and balances among the same levels. There was no clear separation of powers. They were arguing with each other, and things were often difficult to communicate smoothly.
This is because the number of Manchu nobles is not enough, and in order to prevent the Han from stealing power, they came up with a whole set of methods of stacking beds and decentralizing power.
This does guarantee the rights of the Manchu royal family. At least within the officialdom, it is difficult for anyone to start from the bottom up and cause any big waves.
After the Xiantian Sect occupied the north, they followed this system, but the reasons were slightly different.
Yi Nanfeng has never felt that his authority needs to be maintained by decentralization. He is the leader of the Xiantian Sect and the biggest pillar of the Xiantian Sect. His personal strength can be said to be that of the entire Xiantian Sect. Assure.
As long as he is alive, even if he does not go to court for ten years or does nothing for twenty years, no one will dare to ignore his existence.
It was also out of this pride that he insisted on taking the title of leader instead of calling himself emperor.
The emperor is just a person who is not the most outstanding among those who have been killed by him. The innate leader is unique.
The reason why Xiantian Sect follows the Manchu official system is purely because... there are enough official positions!
If you have enough official positions, you won’t feel bad about being rewarded. Brothers, big and small, relatives and fellow clan members all have official positions.
Although it is difficult for people who become officials to tell what they are in charge of, whether their powers are mutually restrictive, but as long as they become officials, when they face the common people, they must be superior to others. What do you think? , can be implemented legitimately.
Therefore, when the Xiantian Sect has occupied the north for decades, the former Manchu officials naturally killed off countless generations. However, the number of new officials now is obviously much greater than that of the past.
“Oh, I remembered that you and Wu Chang have suggested to me many times that we should reduce the number of official positions.”
The Xiantian Cult leader had a hint of sadness in his tone, “Impermanence mainly transforms the Xiantian Cult. What kind of mercenary company is this? It leaves ordinary people with the thought of serving as soldiers in the company, and allows others to retain their status as shareholders at most, while He cannot have the real power to interfere or support relatives. This matter is really hurtful."
"If he hadn't traveled across the ocean in person for the Tianjue organization, the news would not flow smoothly. There are no more elder guardians around to help, so it may not be so easy to fall into Su Hanshan’s vicious hands.”
"You can send some people to assassinate him first. If he sees something is wrong, he can still escape unharmed."
The man in Jinyi is named Fa Wuwei. He is also Yi Nanfeng's sworn brother, and he is also Fa Wuchang. The biological brother of the same mother.
"Leader, no one hates such things as enjoying happiness. Isn't it that we have been practicing martial arts for so many years just to be unscrupulous, domineering and let everyone come to support us?"
Fa Wuwei shook his head and said, "But we need the support of thousands of people. At least we need everyone to be able to breathe. If we continue to appoint officials indiscriminately like this, , those so-called grassroots people have been tortured too much, died and fled in droves, and they are even as insensitive as scarecrows, and their hearts are broken, and they can no longer show our sense of accomplishment."
" Although my brother died unfortunately, we still firmly believe that his idea is the way out for the future of Xiantian Sect.”
The Xiantian leader mused: "After all, we are all old brothers. When the generation that fought with us is dead, it will not be too late to liquidate and reorganize the system."
Although the master of Huandan is physically untouched Tempering, it cannot be as long as Xuantai's lifespan of three hundred.
However, their understanding of internal strength and external energy is extraordinary, and with gentle nourishment, they can live a physical life of nearly 150 years.
It would not be difficult for Yi Nanfeng to wait until all the first-generation senior officials of the Xiantian Sect who opposed the idea of impermanence died of old age.
“The most urgent task is to keep an eye on He Zong’s territory and Songjiang Mansion. If we can bite off a large piece of them, it will not only release some bad energy, but also fill the emptiness in the religion.”< br>
The Xiantian leader stroked his beard and looked far away, "If Su Hanshan can be killed, not only can his process of transforming various ships and trains in Songjiang be adopted, but this prestige can also spread far and wide among countries. The benefits are endless. . ”
“But even if I have a tacit understanding with Xu Zhixing, he can contain He Zong, but I am not completely sure of killing a new Huandan...”
Songjiang The mansion is too close to the sea.
The golden elixir method is good at dividing the vitality, and it is also best at confusing the aura. No matter it is in the deep mountains or the deep sea, once you are involved in it, with the help of the complex environment, the aura will be mixed and hidden, and it will be transferred quietly, and it will be difficult for outsiders to detect it.
Fa Wuwei said: "Speaking of Songjiang Mansion, I just received a message from there. Since the death of my brother, I have sent out the shadow spies that our family began to cultivate forty years ago, all pretending to be Become a civilian in Songjiang and sneak in there to find out the news.”
"According to their reports, a strange disease appeared on Chongming Island three days ago, affecting more than a thousand people overnight. Su Hanshan ordered the relocation of all residents on the island."
"At the same time, there were more people in the waters near Chongming Island. A strange ship, its hull stretched and deformed by the ice , it is very likely that Su Hanshan personally took action, and the words can be barely discerned. It seems to be a Fuso freighter. "
It is impossible for a normal commercial freighter to be attacked by Su Hanshan himself. It seems that the Fuso people are very likely to have something to do with Chongming. Related to the strange disease on the island.
But Fusang doesn’t even have a single returning elixir at the moment, so what reason does he have to be the first to provoke Songjiang Mansion? Unless it has something to do with their allies, the Dutch.
“Those foreigners are even more anxious than us.”
The Xiantian leader thought thoughtfully, "In this case, Xu Zhixing and I may not be the only ones to attack Songjiang Mansion in the future. Maybe we can also find another strong support."
As he spoke, his eyes dropped, as if You need to penetrate the rocks at your feet and see directly into the heart of the mountain.
“As for these people...bring a few over and join the action.”
Most of the main peak of Xiangshan Mountain has been hollowed out, showing a square mile around and about 100 meters high. A huge space of one hundred feet.
The only light source in the entire space is a crystal suspended high in the sky.
The irregular spar the size of a fist is covered with various parallel or oblique circuits.
Looking from all directions, from above and below, from every different angle, you will see patterns that are either symmetrical or internally rotating. The three-dimensional structure is intricate and full of geometric beauty.
On the ground, dozens of men, women, and children were sitting in a circle, all wearing white robes. Invisible internal forces were flying, all connected to the crystal stone, and feedback returned. into their respective bodies.
They muttered words, sometimes calculated with their hands, and looked at the crystal together, conducting deep understanding and verification.
While the two people on the mountain were talking, they suddenly saw a group of people riding fast horses running down the mountain.
These people came from the direction of the capital. Not only did they work hard, they even obviously poured their own skills into the meridians of the horse to tap its potential.
As we approached the Xiangshan Mountains, the endurance of the horses gradually became exhausted and the speed slowed down. The group of people simply abandoned their horses and galloped up.
Fa Wuwei said: "It's the Admiral of the Nine Sects."
"The Leader!!"
The group of people came up the mountain and knelt on one knee, their heads lowered. hang down.
The leader of the nine admirals seemed to be too nervous, sweating profusely, and his voice sounded stiff and hoarse.
"Admiral He sent an envoy to break into the Nine Gate Admiral's Office and brought a message."
The Xiantian leader said calmly: "What message?" "Since ancient times, the capital city has been known as the place where the dragon spirit reigns. Those who govern the world are crowned with the title of dragon. "Reputation."
"Unfortunately, whether it is the previous emperor or the current leader, your way of governing the world cannot see the slightest improvement in the direction of heaven and earth. , use nine, see the true dragon and bring good luck to the world. ”
Admiral Jiumen opened his mouth to speak, but his voice became more and more strange, not like his usual voice at all.
And everyone behind him also followed him and said the same sentence.
At this hour, the sun has already set. Although the skylight in the capital area is still relatively bright, it is far from comparable to that at noon.
However, while these people were talking, the dust particles floating in the air seemed to be beating irregularly.
The square on the main peak of Xiangshan Mountain became extremely bright, and the dust trails were clearly visible.
The voices of so many people were superimposed together, but it seemed that a complete, independent voice that did not belong to anyone present was born from it.
"Let me listen to you, the real dragon's roar!!"
Fa Wuwei heard something was wrong, raised his power angrily, and yelled: "Presumptuous!"< br>
At the same time as he spoke, he had already used his power to suppress the nine admirals and others.
No matter what the strangeness on the Nine Sect Admirals and others is, his attack can definitely disrupt everyone's skills and voices.
However, just as his skill came out of his body, he suddenly felt that the innate leader next to him flicked his sleeve and flew him away.
Boom! ! ! !
Fa Wuwei stopped dozens of meters away, and felt layers of air waves that were like copper and iron walls, pressing towards him. Even if he tried his best to resist, many tears appeared on his clothes.
He opened his eyes angrily, using all his eyesight to see, but he still felt dazzled.
The only thing that can be determined, the clear and unquestionable scenery is...red, hot and bright! !
It was a red light, a pillar of light as thick as a bucket.
Between the lightning and flint just now, a straight line of red light burst out from the top of the mountain to the east.
The nine admirals and others who were on the red light trajectory have been reduced to ashes, with no bones left.
The figure of the innate leader was also knocked away by the red light.
A deep ravine was torn open on the ground, and the entire square was cut in half. Smoke rose, but this ravine also extended beyond the square, breaking through the guardrails and woods, all the way to the edge of the cliff. .
When the Xiantian Cult Master stepped heavily on the cliff, and shocking cracks covered the entire cliff and boulders, and even extended into the mountain, his figure slowed down.
The red light blocked by his hand revealed his true body.
It was a pillar, as long as the heights of three or four adults stacked together, as thick as a bucket, with thousands of cavities inside, a large iron pillar with a dragon pattern.
When the iron pillar had been blocked, the sound of a thick red light trail spanning the two hills was heard, causing the air to riot.
The violent air currents collide, roar, and rub against each other, truly like the roar of a dragon, shocking the mountains and forests in all directions.
In the mountains to the west, in the manors and villas of the senior officials of the Xiantian Sect, countless people were startled by the sound of the dragon's roar. They raised their heads in shock and looked at the track.
"Surprisingly..."
Yi Nanfeng squeezed out two words from his throat, not to mention that others did not expect such a sudden offensive.
Even he himself could not sense the attack trend in advance and could only resist hastily.
For masters in the Huandan realm, whenever there is an enemy within a few miles, mobilizing the vitality of the world and trying to harm themselves, they can feel it.
Because of the long-range attack, if you want to hit the target, you must be locked by the Qi Machine Sensing. Once you use the Qi Machine Sensing, each other's breath senses, entanglement and collision, will naturally be noticed by the target.
However, Su Hanshan did not send out Qi induction by himself, but controlled people like the Nine Sect Admirals to emit specific electromagnetic wavelengths to complete positioning.
As for himself, he had been saving up for a long time a few miles away, constantly smelting and transforming the two iron lions brought from the Admiral's Yamen in the capital.
It was cast into a dragon-patterned iron pillar that was filled with holes and passages and was temporarily endowed with strong magnetism.
Use the power you have accumulated to the extreme to launch this dragon-patterned iron pillar.
The entire iron pillar didn't even have a chance to deform. In the collision just now, all the structures were destroyed from beginning to end.
For a brief moment in the dim red light, the heavy iron pillar made a bang and seemed to disappear out of thin air.
In fact, they turned into tiny particles that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye and scattered violently.
The Xiantian Cult Leader stretched his left arm forward, and you could clearly see that the skin on his palm was as red as blood, and he couldn't help but tremble.
He formed a golden elixir in an instant and withstood the blow of this long-range heavy weapon. It was not easy. His physical and mental strength, and his meridians could not help but sway a little.
Just during this delay, another piercing white light extended in front of him.
That was He Zong standing among the mountains and forests opposite, extending the spear in his hand.
This spear thrust came from the previous red light trajectory.
The short-term vacuum channel caused by the Panlong Iron Pillar, and some unclosed areas, greatly reduced the resistance of this gun and made the speed even more terrifying.
The Xiantian Cult Leader's left hand was immediately pierced, but before the spear expanded, he closed his fingers, locked the gun body, and yelled angrily.
"He Zong!!"
The straight white spear suddenly became crooked, more rugged than the branches of the old trees in the mountains, giving it an absurd and weird feeling.
Fifteen gravitational points, each of which is enough to compress a hall into a solid sphere in half a second, are all acting inside the vitality spear at this moment.
Fa Wuchang's gravity control is only good at affecting solid matter, and has minimal interference with air and vitality.
The innate leader's gravity control destroyed He Zong's vitality spear with just a pinch of his fingers.
While destroying the spear with his left hand, he also waved his right hand downwards.
The cliff was already full of cracks, but none of them could compare to the phenomenon caused by waving his right hand.
It didn't feel like cracks were being made by the force of the palm, but like the mountain was cracking naturally, opening its own black basin.
From the surface soil gravel, to the deep solid rock, and even to the steel-reinforced structures on the inner dome of the mountain.
Because of the wave of the Xiantian Cult Leader's hand, everything split open on both sides, forming a large tunnel that resembled the mouth of a giant wolf.
The crystal stone suspended inside the mountain also shot upward at the same time.
The dozens of people sitting around inside the cave seemed to be focusing all their attention on the crystal.
Once the crystal flew upward, all of them shouted without thinking, shot upward into the sky, and flew toward the tunnel.
But the tunnel was closed abruptly in the next second.
Su Hanshan appeared on the top of the mountain and stepped one foot diagonally on the ground. The three pure Yang magic techniques, accompanied by a massive amount of heaven and earth vitality, were carried out.
Golden energy spreads throughout the mountain, pushing the soil and rocks to deform and squeeze forward, squeezing the cracked tunnel directly shut.
And his hands had collided with the palms of the innate leader who had returned to defense in time.
“It’s you?!”
The Xiantian Cult Leader’s body trembled slightly. He had seen Su Hanshan’s sketch from the intelligence.
“It’s me!”
Su Hanshan said loudly, "Last time you looked forward and backward, this time I took the initiative!!"
