Chapter 746 Chapter 743 The Meaning of Purple Smoke

After thinking about this, Li Ximing sipped tea, but still did not accept the jade slip, and just sighed:

"How do real people view the Xuanyue incident!"

Seeing that he was still waiting for her, Tinglan smiled and replied:

"I have been traveling overseas for these years, but I don't know much about it. Master Chang Xi has come so far as a cultivator from a small clan. It is already extraordinary. My master mentioned that he... is a clan leader."

Li Ximing raised his eyebrows to see, the woman said:

"After all, we are close neighbors... I, Zi Yan, have been watching. Hai Ying and Hai Ting in the early days, and Lone Falcon and Ting Yun later. They are all good tonics. He values ​​the clan, so he will not move... The cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone Zi Mansion? Now that he is dead, Xuanyue seems to be helpless, but in fact there are more retreats than the front. The Immortal Sect may not be able to be saved, but his bloodline and orthodoxy are as stable as Mount Tai. "

"What's more... isn't the Hope Moon Immortal Clan here?"

After Ting Lan said this, Li Ximing quickly shook his head.

Although Li Ximing had never been in contact with Chang Xi before, even hearing the name of this real person was accompanied by some disrespectful jokes, but now he has experienced it and replied:

"Senior Chang Xi has a lot of thoughts. It's just a county in Shanji. Mr. Lao Zhen mentioned it repeatedly during his lifetime, saying that there are tens of millions of people in one county. It was his life's effort to protect them for hundreds of years. Now he can't save them. I looked around and found that only The Duziyan Immortal Sect is a holy place for orthodox Qing cultivators. These people can only rest assured if they are handed over to the hands of the orthodox!"

No matter what he thought in his heart, Tinglan couldn't refuse at least the first sentence when he was given such a high hat, and replied:

"I can only thank the old man for his kindness, but my Taoist friend has also said that our Ziyan Sect is the orthodox Xuanmen and is cultivated in the Holy Land. This matter of immortality is naturally to burn talismans and pray, to follow the immortal destiny of Yuan Mansion, and to guard the heart and clarify the nature. , focus on practice.”

"Back then, the superior government designated several counties for me Zi Yan, and I, Zi Yan, guarded these counties and could not cross the boundaries... Please forgive me."

‘Yuehua Yuanfu? ’

After she said this, Li Ximing was really stunned. When he came, he had thought of thousands of reasons for the other party's rejection, but he never thought of this one. This reason was really high-sounding. After a full breath, Li Ximing said silently:

"I see... Zhao Jing was presumptuous."

The two dots of cyan in the corners of Tinglan's eyes glowed slightly. She glanced at him one more time and replied:

"The nobles are rising stars... I don't know. In fact, the former Xiao and Hou Li were called Chengxian Clan according to the rules. They separated from Qingchi and had their own place. This rule and system were all the rules of the Yuan Dynasty. Senior Si also followed them. It’s the old way of doing things.”

After she said this, Li Ximing realized that Ting Lan's previous words were not all evasive. There are still many rules in Yuehua Yuan Mansion operating in Jiangnan. Although they may not be effective all the time, for the real person of Zi Mansion... there is not much conflict of interest. I won't violate it.

He recalled, from the conservative naming of the Immortal Sect and the Immortal Sect to the superficial family among the Qingsong and Sun Taoist lineage, from the retreat of the various schools in the Qingsong Temple and the six sects entering alone to the respectful respect of the Sword Sect in the Xuanmiao Temple...

"Even if these six families secretly plot against each other, there will be almost no change in the territory. They will always guard one-third of an acre...the fighting will be left overseas..."

'The six families are indeed in a transcendental position. Xiuyue has evaded the world, Xuanyue exists in name only, and the Yue Kingdom now actually consists of two sects, six sects and three clans...but one sect and four sects cannot move...'

Li Ximing gradually came to a realization, and even an idea suddenly emerged in his mind:

"Xueji Gate has been closed for hundreds of years! It has reached the point where mortals enter the mountain and no disciples leave the mountain... but no one has ever touched it! Could it be because of this reason... It is precisely because the surrounding areas are tightly surrounded by Qingsong Taoism , and the land is barren, so we can survive until now.”

He had a lot going on in his mind, but he just sighed:

"Fellow Taoist Tinglan... But my family has tried its best to protect us, but we can no longer save the entire Shanji County. It's pity that there are so many people there!"

Tinglan laughed and replied:

"It's not difficult. Just invite a Zifu to live in. No one thinks the land in the south of the Yangtze River is too bad. There are many Zifus who want to establish a Taoist tradition here. They just send people as guarantees. The old ones don't dare to come. Young people are very playful... As long as you and I discuss it and ask Jianmen again, the matter will be settled. "

This made Li Ximing think about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he frowned. If there was a friendly Zifu around, it wouldn't be a bad thing, but Xuanyue Taoism was in his own hands, which was not very likable. The Kong family I was just a little embarrassed to send it over, and I'm afraid it would be difficult to explain to the other side of Xuanmiao Temple.

"You can give it a try..."

He thought for a while, put away the jade slips, and said tentatively:

"If we follow this idea, can the Immortal Sect first send people to Shanji to gather forces? My family doesn't have the energy to take care of it. I'm afraid that by the time there is news, Shanji County will have been looted."

"This is the second thing..."

Seeing him collect the things, Ting Lan frowned and said:

"If the matter is settled, there are two points... First, the Xuanyue Mountain Gate must be given to others... Otherwise, the dignified master will establish a sect, and the place where all the wisdom and wisdom gathers in the county will be someone else's mountain gate. Where will he go to practice? That would be a shameful thing."

"Second, Kong Hai should die."

Li Ximing heard this and sighed secretly in his heart. Tinglan said seriously:

"I would like to remind fellow Taoists that if Kong Haiying does not die, the conflict between the nobles and Duxian Dao will only become more serious day by day, and will quickly deteriorate to the point where it is difficult to adjust. Ye Hui is not a stubborn and extreme person, but he can tolerate it no matter what. Not inferior to Kong Haiying, he has great opportunities and is really likely to break through!”

"Fellow Taoist still has to refine elixirs for me after all. If we get into a real fight with him, I'm afraid the area along the river bank will be in a mess, and I won't have anywhere to refine the elixirs..."

"The same goes for the Xuanyue Mountain Gate... If the Xuanyue Mountain Gate is given to others, how can any real person tolerate the fact that there are still several foundations in the mountain gate that are breaking through? If they really succeed in breaking through and break through, who does this mountain gate belong to? Shan Ji Who does the county belong to?”

"The Xuanyue legal system is in the hands of the nobles, which will already make real people who want to move into the sea hesitate. Once they take over Shanji and Xuanyue, the Kong family in the wilderness will be regarded as survivors at best, or remnants at worst. The nobles will at least have to take over Shanji and Xuanyue. The Kong family sent them there and asked them to perform a show of gratitude before they could reconcile..."

Although Li Ximing knew that this matter was not easy to deal with, he still sighed and nodded:

"I understand... Can the elixir be used urgently, fellow Taoist? If we can't handle this matter well, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make the elixir immediately."

"It doesn't matter, we can still afford to wait for three to five years. Besides... I have to go to Beihai in the next few days, and I won't be able to spare any time to set up formations for fellow Taoists."

Ting Lan obviously did not expect Li Ximing to immediately refine the elixir for her. The two exchanged a few words and explained the details of the agreement. Ting Lan pointed to the clay pot on the table and said:

"[Tianyi Tucui Dan Recipe] will be studied by Taoist friends first. When you are ready, [Wuzhang Shuihuo] and [Tianyi Chunyuan] can come to me and take it from Ziyan."

Li Ximing agreed and left with the light. Ting Lan sent him all the way. Under the purple jade platform, Cui Jueyin and the purple smoke monk Wei Danying were talking and laughing. They were quite harmonious, which was more beneficial than the conversation between the two real people. The exchanges were much more lively.

Although Cui Jueyin's appearance is not very outstanding, he is well-read, has a strong memory, and has a personable demeanor. It is interesting to talk to him. Wei Danying listened with great interest. As soon as the two real people appeared, they immediately became respectful and each Step back.

"Zhaojing, walk slowly..."

Tinglan gave away the blessed land, and Li Ximing drove away with a light. He always looked thoughtful, and after a long time he sighed to himself:

‘Xuanyue Mountain Gate and Shanji County are not something my family can keep at the moment. ’

Li Ximing thought about the attitude of the Ziyan Sect, but he did not expect that Ting Lan only had the word "kill" for Kong Haiying without any hesitation, which really surprised him.

But Ting Lan had just talked about it from the perspective of the Ziyan Sect. Li Ximing understood clearly that the Ziyan Sect did not occupy Shan Ji's thoughts, but he did have the idea of ​​​​inviting a Zifu to act as a barrier and selling personal favors. ...My family is somewhat blocking her way in this area.

But his thoughts not only stayed on Ziyanmen, but also thought of another person the next moment:

"Ye Hui!"

If there is an extra Zifu in Shanji County, it is a bit embarrassing for the Li family, and it cannot get many good things... But for Ye Hui, as long as he is willing to give up the benefits to attract people, it will be a good thing!

Ye Hui is a monk from the East China Sea. If he really can't take the Xuanyue Mountain Gate and decides not to give it up, and invites a friendly Zifu to join Shanji, his family's situation will become more difficult in an instant... This Zifu will not only be determined to win the Xuanyue Mountain Gate. , and even wanted the Confucian orthodoxy to be cut off!

If this Zi Mansion was invited by Zi Yan, the Li family still has room to send the Kong family back and let Xuanyue Taoism merge with other people's influence. But if he is a friend of Ye Hui, there is absolutely no reason to send him back, and it is the only way to do so. There is a fierce rivalry.

"Ye Huisui can sit back and relax. By then it will be too late for my family to face the threat of the wilderness, and we will have no time to care about Jiangbei..."

Ye Hui hasn't done this yet because of two reasons. Firstly, he can't let go of Xuanyue Mountain Gate. Secondly, he hasn't reached an agreement with Ziyan and Jianmen yet...but that doesn't mean that this thing won't happen.

"Has Ye Hui approached Ting Lan?! Is Ting Lan's words out of good intentions, or is it not a secret reminder after reaching an agreement with Ye Hui?"

His heart felt cold:

"No matter what, Shanji and Xuanyue Mountain Gate must be dealt with quickly, but if this mountain gate is to be dealt with, the foundation of the Kong family retreat must be dealt with. Even if it requires a slight relaxation with the Duxian Dao to free up the hands for alchemy, at least it must be done. Deal with Kong Haiying!”

But Chang Xi said that there were three people in retreat, namely Ke Qing Fu En, great-grandson Kong Haiying, and former headmaster Kong Tingyun. Li Ximing actually couldn't confirm that Fu En was the one who died at that time, or even that several of the people in retreat in the sect were Kong Haiying and others. .

Thinking about this, even though Li Ximing could understand Chang Xi's thoughts that no one could believe in his later years, he was still a little tired and slightly angry:

"Hiding and hiding...it's not easy to help, so...since Chang Xi has cared to this point, it's impossible not to know that Kong Haiying is very likely to be involved in his Xuanyue's life and death. He can no longer care about what Xuanyue and others think...if he doesn't accept Xuanyue anymore, , Use the Immortal Mirror to find out everything, and there is no need to protect the Xuanyue Gate!"

He left the boundary of Ziyan and went home. Gradually, he started to have concerns in his heart. When he appeared on Zhijing Mountain, Cui Jueyin fell from the sky and stood quietly beside him.

Li Ximing ordered:

"Go and invite all the people in charge, including Que Wan...Cheng, and come with us."

…

wilderness.

The sky was bright and humid, and a moist mist filled the mountains.

It had been several days since the news of Master Chang Xi's death, and Kong Guxi was still a little overwhelmed. He planned to read the instructions until midnight, but when he was lost in thought, it was already dawn.

He changed his clothes and came out of the palace. There was no one outside the palace. The stone steps were unswept and filled with fallen leaves, which made him wonder if everyone had gone to another family.

After walking around, I saw Kong Yu who was drinking in the mountains with a red face. Kong Guxi bowed and asked:

"Uncle, where have Qiu Yan and the others gone?"

Kong Yu drank all night and couldn't get drunk even if he wanted to. Now he was still very sober and replied:

"Xia Xiang was imprisoned by you. A group of Duxian Tao monks came from the wilderness. They should have come from Shanji County. I don't know how corrupt they are. Qiu Yan led people to stop them."

He paused and emphasized:

"The Li family is here too."

Kong Guxi responded, asked about Kong Guli's whereabouts, and said:

"Where is brother?"

Kong Yu raised his eyebrows and replied:

"Master Cheng sent someone to ask, saying he wanted my soul lamp and life jade. Your eldest brother just took him there."

Kong Guxi listened silently and turned to the front yard. Unexpectedly, there was a commotion on the stone steps. Several large and small bags were being carried. The head of Xuanyue raised his eyebrows and saw his eldest brother Kong Guli leading Fuyuezi up the mountain. coming.

Kong Guli was devastated, but Fu Yuezi was as usual, carrying a magic weapon on his back and waving to him. Kong Guli went up to greet him, grabbed the old man Kong Guli's hand, and found it was extremely cold, so he only asked:

"I heard from Uncle Uncle...you just left..."

Kong Guli said lonelyly:

"We just left. Unexpectedly, the news from the past few days came back. The elders in the mountain had already packed up the soul lamp, life jade, Taoism method and other things. They all wanted to run here, so naturally they were very fast."

Kong Guxi was speechless. He only felt that there was an endless stream of escaping lights in the sky. The more noise there was on the mountain. He walked a few steps and saw a group of people descending from the sky. At the head was a man with golden eyes walking like a dragon and a tiger. Kong Guxi felt in his heart As if being grasped tightly by a big hand, he quickly stepped forward and said:

"I've seen the head of the family...Why is the head of the family here?"

Li Zhouwei was always polite to him, nodded and said:

"The injury has improved a lot. I followed the real person's order to come and sit in the wilderness."

Kong Guxi saw sweat on his forehead and nodded repeatedly. Before he could ask more questions, he felt the sky in front of him flickering, and the surrounding area suddenly became brighter. Everyone bowed their heads in obeisance.

Then he saw a real man in a white robe with gold patterns standing above him, looking at several people. Kong Guli was so frightened that he took a few steps back. Kong Guxi was frightened and knelt down to worship. Xuanyue and the others didn't care whether they had seen him or not. , everyone knew it was a real person. For a while, there was no one standing on the mountain, and there were only sounds of respect one after another.

Kong Guxi glanced briefly when he knelt down. Li Ximing's expression did not fluctuate much, but Xuanyue had just taken out the order sent by his ancestor to Shanji and Shanmen. He couldn't help but be frightened and trembled for no reason. Feel a deep sense of fear.

He knelt firmly and then heard the real man speak, his voice neither urgent nor angry, saying:

"Get Kong Haiying's soul lamp."

Kong Guxi only felt a chill sinking from his heart to the soles of his feet. The leader couldn't see too much of the Zifu struggle and the overall situation. But based on the situation before and after, he had noticed too many unfavorable things, so he could only be respectful. road:

"Junior, take your orders."
