Chapter 256: Unrest, the situation in Zhongzhou

When the old doctor took Lu Qing, he followed the direction of the fluctuation of the jade sign and looked for it.

In a certain area of ​​Qinglong City, in a tall tower, an old man in black was meditating and practicing. Suddenly his expression changed. He opened his eyes and looked at a jade plate in front of him, with a strange color in his eyes.

He counted on his fingers for a while, and his expression gradually became serious.

After pondering for a moment, he shook a rope beside him.

There was a pleasant sound of copper bells, and not long after, a middle-aged man wearing gray cloth and holding an abacus in his hand came in respectfully.

"Elder, do you have any instructions?"

"There are distinguished guests coming soon. Please prepare yourself and go out with me to greet them later." The old man said softly.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "Yes, elder."

But curiosity arose in my heart, what kind of person could actually make the elder, who never likes to meet people, take the initiative to go out to greet him.

Could it be that some of the big families in the city, or some big shot in the city lord's mansion, are coming?

When the middle-aged man had just made arrangements, the elder in black also came down from upstairs.

"Elder..."

The middle-aged man was about to step forward and say something, but was stopped by the elder in black who raised his hand.

"The distinguished guest has arrived, please follow me out to greet him."

The middle-aged man had no choice but to shut his mouth and follow the elder outside.

As soon as I went out, I saw the old doctor and Lu Qing standing hesitantly outside the door.

"Master, are you sure this is where it is?"

Lu Qing looked at the tower, but saw that it was very ordinary. There was not even a plaque on it, and it did not seem to be the stronghold of a large sect.

The star pattern engraved on the door seems a bit mysterious.

"It shouldn't be wrong. The abnormal movements received by the jade tablet came from this tower." The old doctor said.

Just when Lu Qing was thinking about using his powers to investigate, he suddenly saw an old man in black and a middle-aged man holding an abacus walking out of the tower.

"Having friends come from far away really makes this building shine. You two distinguished guests, old man, I am being polite."

Before Lu Qing could say anything, he saw the old man in black saluting him and his master.

"Old man, what are you..."

Lu Qing's heart moved slightly, with a puzzled look on his face, but he secretly activated his superpower.

"Old man, my name is Xuanjizi. I am temporarily in charge of the branch of Tianji Building in Qinglong City. I came here specially to welcome two distinguished guests."

After the old man in black saw the faces of Lu Qing and the old doctor clearly, the smile on his face became even warmer.

Lu Qing also used his powers at this time to find out the identities of the two people in front of him, and knew that they were not lying.

However, he still had a puzzled look on his face: "But father-in-law, how did you know that we were coming?"

Could it be that Tianji Tower's calculation method is really so mysterious that it can even calculate the whereabouts of him and his master?

"Of course the old man isn't that powerful yet, so he can figure out the whereabouts of the two of them."

Xuanjizi seemed to see Lu Qing's thoughts and said with a smile: "I know that you two are coming because of the jade plaque in your master's hand."

Lu Qing looked at the jade token in his master's hand and suddenly realized.

It seems that this jade token should be two-way. Not only can they know the location of Tianji Tower, but the other party can also sense the arrival of themselves and others.

No wonder Li Zhirui said at the beginning that as long as he went to Zhongzhou with the jade card, he would understand.

"I see, junior Lu Qing, this is the family master who has met senior Xuanjizi." Lu Qing bowed.

"As expected, it's Lu Xiaolangjun and old doctor Chen Songqing, please come in quickly." Xuan Jizi made an invitation gesture.

Lu Qing and the old doctor looked at each other and walked into the tower without refusing.

After sitting down inside and serving tea, Lu Qing tasted it briefly and then said: "Senior Xuanjizi, you even know the names of my master and disciple. Is this the message left by Lord Zhirui? "

"Yes, Senior Nephew Zhirui once left portraits of the two of them here, and said that the two of them should come here within a year or two, but old man, I didn't expect that the two of them had not come to Qinglong City until now. "

"How are you doing, Mr. Zhirui?" the old doctor asked with some concern.

He still quite liked that young man with extraordinary bearing.

"Senior Nephew Zhirui made a breakthrough in his cultivation last year and has returned to the Zhongzhou main building to cultivate. After calculation, it should be almost time to leave seclusion." Xuanjizi was honest.

"Oh, Lord Zhirui has broken through to the innate realm?"

Lu Qing's heart moved. When he saw that person back then, he was already a martial arts master who had tempered the power of the soul, and his ranking on the Hidden Dragon List was higher than him.

If there is another breakthrough, it must be to enter the innate realm.

"Yes, nephew Zhirui has been gifted since he was a child. He is one of the most outstanding disciples among our generation in Tianji Tower. It is expected that he can step into the innate realm."

"Awesome." Lu Qing praised.

Xuanjizi looked at Lu Qing secretly.

If he remembered correctly, the young man in front of him was also on the Hidden Dragon List two years ago, and he caused quite a stir at that time.

Now that more than two years have passed, I don't know where his cultivation has reached.

However, when Xuan Jizi wanted to sense Lu Qing's cultivation, he found that his soul sense could not detect the situation inside Lu Qing's body at all.

Lu Qing seemed to have a thick layer of fog covering up all his information, making it impossible for him to see through it at all.

Xuanjizi was slightly shocked, knowing that there were generally only two possibilities for this kind of situation.

The first is that Lu Qing has practiced some special secret method that can perfectly contain his own aura and prevent it from being perceived by outsiders.

Another thing is that Lu Qing possesses a rare treasure that can block the induction of other people's soul power.

He prefers the latter possibility.

After all, Lu Qing is too young. Even if he has practiced the secret method, the fire level should not be deep.

And according to the information from their Tianji Tower, Lu Qingcai was only in the inner state two years ago.

No matter how fast he entered the country now, at such a close distance, he shouldn't be able to hide it from someone who has been in the Xiantian realm for many years.

After making his judgment, Xuanjizi turned his attention to the old doctor.

At this sight, he was stunned again.

Because he found that the old doctor's cultivation was also completely unpredictable to him.

If Lu Qing's body is full of fog, it is impossible for people to see through it.

At that time, the old doctor felt calm, just like an ordinary old man, unremarkable.

But Xuanjizi knew that the old doctor could not be an ordinary old man.

Junior Nephew Zhirui had clearly told him that this old doctor was not only a person with advanced cultivation in the Xiantian realm, but also possessed the light of merit and virtue, and was much more miraculous than ordinary Xiantian realm warriors.

"It seems that this person's cultivation has made great progress in the past two years. He is worthy of being a virtuous person with the light of merit." Xuanjizi marveled in his heart.

As soon as they met, Lu Qing and the old doctor, master and disciple, gave him a lot of shock.

No wonder Junior Nephew Zhirui told him so solemnly that he must entertain these two people well.

Lu Qing could naturally feel that Xuanjizi was observing him and his master. However, he didn't care, but showed an open-minded look: "Senior Xuanjizi, Master and I came here this time because we have something we want to ask you, senior."

"I don't dare to ask for advice. I wonder if you two have anything to ask?" Xuanjizi said.

“We want to know what the situation is like today, and what the situation is like here in Zhongzhou.

To be honest, seniors, we came across a lot of things from home this time.

There is even a sect that openly violates the holy order. As a supreme elder in the Xiantian realm, in order to practice evil methods, he openly sets up evil formations to refine the bones, flesh, essence and blood of warriors as his own cultivation qualifications.

But such acts of outrage and resentment did not usher in the Holy Mountain's prosecution.

Master and I were quite confused about this, and asked our seniors for guidance. "

Lu Qing said with a somewhat serious expression.

"What, there are people in the Xiantian realm outside who are sacrificing human beings and practicing evil methods?"

Xuanjizi was surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, the person who did this evil thing is none other than the Liuyun Sect in Yunzhou. Seniors, there are signs of turmoil in the outer states now. If the major sects in Shengshan and Zhongzhou don't show their actions, it won't be long before... I’m afraid it’s really going to be irreversible.”

Xuanjizi fell into silence.

After a while, he let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect that the situation outside has reached such a situation. It's a pity that even the Holy Mountain is powerless to deal with the situation now."

Lu Qing and his master looked at each other and said, "Senior, I wonder why this is happening?"

"Both of you are blessed with extraordinary talents. You should have sensed the fluctuations of the nine Tao sounds that resounded throughout the world a while ago, right?"

"It was because of this that we, the master and the disciple, decided to go to Zhongzhou to find out."

"The sound of the Dao sounded nine times, the great changes in the world have officially begun, spiritual energy has revived, and evil spirits have reappeared. Do you two know what this means?" Xuan Jizi asked.

Lu Qing hesitated for a moment and said humbly: "I would like to hear the details."

"In recent years, haven't there been rumors circulating around the world that the world is about to change dramatically?
This is actually not a rumor, but a fact.

The sound of heaven and earth a while ago represented that the changes in heaven and earth had truly begun, and the legendary spiritual energy began to revive.

The two of them ran all the way to Zhongzhou. They should have sensed the changes in the world on the way, right? "

The old doctor nodded: "There is indeed a very strange energy in the world."

"That strange energy is the legendary spiritual energy. Rumor has it that as long as an innate warrior can refine the spiritual energy and turn it into his own use, he can make great progress and make further progress.

Let me ask you two, if this rumor is true, what will happen to those Xiantian realm warriors who have been stagnant in their own realm for many years? "

"On the journey of martial arts, one should be brave and enterprising. Warriors all pursue their own strength. If this opportunity really comes, those who are strong in the innate realm will be very happy." Lu Qing said.

"That's right. Since we warriors have entered the path of cultivation, we will naturally try our best to strengthen ourselves.

At the beginning, spiritual energy reappeared in the world, making many Xiantian realm warriors in Zhongzhou extremely happy.

But after a while, everyone discovered that it was not easy to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Only the most ancient and peculiar cultivation methods can do it, and there are not many of these ancient cultivation methods spread in the world.

Even in Zhongzhou, only a few sects have control over it.

As a result, problems arise.

You two should be able to guess why, right? "

Lu Qing thought for a while and said: "We are not worried about the scarcity but the inequality. The opportunity for breakthrough is right in front of us, but due to the lack of access due to the cultivation method, those sects with ancient cultivation methods are afraid that they will become the target of public criticism."

"Yes, it is not about scarcity but about inequality. Lu Xiaolangjun is really a great talent. In just a few words, he gets to the root of the problem."

When Xuanjizi heard Lu Qing's words, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise.

"Senior received the award, what happened next?"

Lu Qing felt ashamed and asked.

"As you said, Xiaolangjun, those Xiantian realm experts whose realm has been stagnant for a long time will naturally not give up now that they see an opportunity for breakthrough.

So when the spiritual energy was just recovering, some sects in Zhongzhou began to attack other sects and snatch the ancient practice method.

Even for this reason, the supreme elders and innate experts of the two sects all went out together, killing them until rivers of blood flowed from one to the next, and all lives were reduced to ashes. "

"It's so cruel?"

Lu Qing and the old doctor were suddenly shocked. They never expected that such a powerful conflict would break out in Zhongzhou.

“Originally, if it was just to snatch the method of cultivation, the two sects wouldn’t have fought so hard.

However, the two major sects are still feuding, and they have accumulated enmity for hundreds of years.

In the past, under the suppression and mediation of the Holy Mountain, although there were frictions between the two sects, they were still under control.

The Xiantian realm experts on both sides rarely took action, so the casualties in both cases were not large.

But this time the world changed and the spiritual energy revived, it made both sects unable to sit still.

So the fight started, and both sides got angry, which led to the tragedy. "

"That's it." Lu Qing understood.

Since the two major sects are feuding, this battle is really unavoidable.

After all, the spiritual energy has revived and the sect with ancient cultivation methods has taken the initiative.

Once a Supreme Elder in the sect breaks through the bottleneck, he enters a new realm.

By then, even the Holy Mountain may not be able to suppress it.

The other sect naturally refused to sit still and wait for death, so they could only make a decisive decision and take action brazenly.

"Senior Xuanjizi, if you put it this way, isn't Zhongzhou already in chaos?"

Lu Qing couldn't imagine what kind of chaos Zhongzhou would be like now if all the powerful sects in Zhongzhou fell into a melee.

"The situation is not that bad yet." Xuanjizi said.

"After the two major sects fought, the Holy Mountain immediately came forward and issued a holy order that the major sects were no longer allowed to kill each other.

For this reason, the three Holy Lords all came out of the mountains and went directly to various major sects to visit them, and then they brought the situation under control. "

Holy Lord?

Lu Qing chewed on this title and knew that the three holy masters must be very powerful and peerless experts.

Otherwise, how could it be so easy to suppress the major sects that were ready to move.

But Lu Qing didn't think that Holy Mountain could completely control the situation just by relying on this.

"But senior, this kind of forced suppression is only a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. Those sects that do not have ancient cultivation methods will not give up so easily, right?"

After the spiritual energy is revived, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth will become more and more intense.

The longer the delay is, the more beneficial it will be to the sect with ancient cultivation methods.

Lu Qing didn't believe that other sects would be willing to do this.

"Xiao Langjun guessed right, those sects are indeed not so easy to give in to.

So in order to reassure these sects, Holy Mountain made a very important decision. "
