Chapter 357 Alliance
A month later.

Qingyun Mountain, Tongtian Peak.

Outside the Yuqing Hall, a large group of people stood densely, and upon closer inspection, they were all members of the righteous path, including Master Daoxuan, head of Qingyun, and Yun Yilan, owner of Fenxiang Valley.Behind the two of them, other well-known figures from the Qingyun Fenxiang sect also stood here, looking at the formation, it seemed as if they were about to welcome someone.

I don't know who it is that has such a big face?

Not counting those from the small sect, most of the important figures from Qingyunmen and Fenxiang Valley were present at the moment, Shangguan Ce, Lu Shun, second generation disciples Li Xun, Yan Hong and others in Fenxiang Valley were all standing behind Yun Yilan.Among them, Li Xun has no expression on his face, but his complexion looks very ugly, and there are people talking in low voices everywhere, and they glance at him from time to time, which makes his complexion even more ugly.

As for the Qingyun Sect, Tian Buyi, Zeng Shuchang, Master Shuiyue and Qi Hao were also present, including Xiao Yicai and other disciples also standing behind Reverend Daoxuan, but among the crowd, the most outstanding and limelight of the Qingyun Sect in recent years The strongest characters, Jiang Yuye and Lu Xueqi, did not see their figures.Besides, Lin Jingyu didn't see anyone.

The day was bright and clear, the sky was cloudless, and the mountain breeze was blowing slowly, giving people a refreshing feeling.If it weren't for the fact that there are too many grievances and hatreds in this mortal world, and the constant involvement, this place would really be like a fairyland on earth.

Among the crowd behind him, many people were talking in low voices. It was vaguely heard that most of them were talking about the biggest catastrophe in the world today. Master Daoxuan, the head of the Qingyun Sect, listened to it with a serious expression, and couldn't help it. He sighed softly.

His voice was not loud, and most of the people around didn't notice it, but Yun Yilan, the owner of Fenxiang Valley who was standing side by side with him at the front of the crowd, heard it, turned his head, glanced at Master Daoxuan, and said in a low voice : "Senior Brother Daoxuan, why are you sighing?"

Daoxuan smiled wryly, shook his head slightly, and said, "Have you listened to the whispers of these fellow Taoists behind us, few people are optimistic."

Yun Yilan smiled slightly, and said: "Senior Daoxuan, why should you care about them? Although the catastrophe has been accomplished and the lives of the people are in ruins, we are the last hope of the world at this moment. Facing those vicious monsters, senior brother, you, as the leader of the world , if you no longer have confidence, how can you face the high expectations of the common people in the world?"

Reverend Daoxuan's complexion changed slightly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. He took a deep look at Yun Yilan, but saw this person's expression was calm, as if he didn't mean anything, he smiled and said, "Where is the benefactor Yun? What kind of virtue and ability can we be worthy of the words 'leader of the world'? This catastrophe of beasts and monsters has poisoned the living beings. As people who learn the Tao, we have always boasted of the righteous way, so naturally we can't stay out of it. Wait for Tianyin Master Si Puhong is here, you and I, together with the heroes of the world, will die for the people, and it will not be in vain for us to learn the Tao."

Yun Yilan nodded and said, "Senior brother is right."

Reverend Daoxuan returned the gift with a smile, but there was a strange feeling in his heart. The owner of the Fenxiang Valley, Yun Yilan, spoke modestly and impeccably, but he seemed to be unable to see through this person. It feels like this person seems to be unfathomable.

Just as Master Daoxuan was thinking about whether he should find an opportunity to give this Yun Yilan a good try and see what he had in mind, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, Master Daoxuan and Yun Yilan were both spirited. Zhen, looking down the mountain, he really saw a golden light flashing in the depths of the white clouds floating among the towering Tongtian Peak, and then it quickly became larger, and it quickly approached the peak in a short while.

I saw the golden light floating, taking the shape of a golden lotus blooming, floating up among the white clouds, and the Sanskrit sounds echoed between the heaven and the earth.

Reverend Daoxuan and Yun Yilan went forward at the same time, the golden lotus fell, swaying and flickering for a moment, the golden light dissipated, and dozens of Buddhist monks headed by Master Puhong of Tianyin Temple appeared.The headed master, Master Puhong, looked just as before, compassionate and peaceful, with a golden red Buddhist robe and a solemn treasure appearance, holding a string of dark sandalwood beads in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Standing behind him is Pufang, a tall and tall junior holding a 'Golden Bowl of the Buddha', followed by more than a dozen eminent monks and second-generation disciples of Tianyin Temple, Faxiang, Fashan and other well-known Buddhist disciples are also there in.

Reverend Daoxuan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Puhong, you are finally here, everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Master Puhong nodded with a smile, and said: "I am ashamed to keep all the benefactors and the head of Daoxuan waiting for so long."

At this moment, Yun Yilan, who was standing beside Master Daoxuan, said with a loud smile: "Master, do you still recognize me? I haven't seen you for many years. Don't forget all the old friends you used to know!"

Master Puhong glanced at Yun Yilan, his expression was obviously startled, and even the smile that he had been wearing all the time was restrained for a moment, then a look of admiration flashed in front of his eyes, and said: "Could it be that this benefactor is actually Yun Yi Is Lanyun the old valley owner?"

Yun Yilan laughed loudly, and saluted, "It's the old man who has met Master Abbot."

Puhong came up and bowed back to salute, and said with a smile: "I've heard that Fenxiang Valley's Taoism is profound, especially the Three Yang Realm of the 'Fenxiang Jade Book' is even more miraculous. Donor Yun is determined and talented. Could it be that he has reached the level of 'Yuyang'?" environment?"

Yun Yilan's complexion changed slightly, and his heart was shocked. Fenxianggu Taoism has always been known for its secrets in the righteous way, and it is far less famous than Qingyunmen and Tianyin Temple. Sanskrit Prajna', everyone knows everyone.But this time when he entered the Central Plains, he met the leaders of the two great families in the Central Plains, and he was recognized by Master Daoxuan and Master Puhong successively. When he thought about the relationship, he couldn't help feeling suspicious: Could it be? There are spies under my sect who can't do it?

Just thinking about it, but he still had a calm expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Master's eyes are like a torch, and this old man's mediocrity is nothing to worry about!"

After a pause, Yun Yilan looked slightly serious, and said: "But since the master is here, that's all right. Now that the world is in ruins and evildoers are rampant, it is a disaster that has never been seen in ancient times. I hope that the master can lead the world in the right way. Besides, There is nothing so good about disasters and catastrophes.”

Reverend Daoxuan stood aside, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

Venerable Master Puhong humbly said: "Where is the meaning of benefactor Yun? The common people in the world have been robbed, and beasts and monsters are rampant. Everyone in Tianyin Temple is a disciple of Buddhism, how can they retreat to the back of others? But now the world is full of righteous ways, and Daoxuan senior brother has always been respected. , Taoism has supernatural powers, so it is natural that Senior Brother Daoxuan should be the leader to lead the righteous way in the world to fight against powerful enemies."

Master Daoxuan smiled and said: "Master is too polite, Daoxuan really dare not be."

Venerable Puhong folded his palms together and said: "Master Daoxuan, the common people in the world are looking forward to day and night to get rid of this catastrophe as soon as possible. You must never refuse."

Yun Yilan chuckled, and said: "Both of you are masters of the Tao, but why are there so many polite words, come on, let's go in and talk, otherwise let these many fellow Taoists accompany the three of us to talk and blow, Don't you neglect others!"

Reverend Daoxuan and Master Puhong looked at each other and smiled, and they walked together. Along the way, people kept saying hello to Master Puhong and the monks of Tianyin Temple, which shows that Tianyin Temple has a high reputation in the righteous way.

All the way into the Yuqing Palace, Master Puhong couldn't help but praise a few more words about the grandeur and majesty of the newly built Yuqing Palace in Qingyunmen.Reverend Daoxuan smiled and thanked him modestly, he wanted to invite Master Puhong to sit on the main seat, but Master Puhong refused, he refused several times, finally Daoxuan took the seat as the master, Master Puhong and Yun Yilan Sit on both sides.

There were more than a hundred people standing in the main hall at the moment, but the seats were limited. Except for a few famous Sanxians, those who sat down were figures from the three major factions. The status and strength in the Righteous Way, and the discussion of countermeasures, etc., are naturally mostly discussed among the three major factions.

After everyone sat down, Yun Yilan was the first to speak and asked Master Puhong: "Master, have you seen any cruel monsters on your way here?"

Master Pu Hong nodded and said, "Yes, we also got rid of some monsters."

There was a commotion among the people nearby, the disaster of beast monsters has already been spread all over the world, and many people have seen it, but in this Qingyun Mountain Yuqing Palace, the righteous people who have fought with it, except for the three sects sent out to inquire about the news Apart from his disciples, there are not many other sects.

Reverend Daoxuan was also moved by it, and said: "Oh, there is such a thing, master might as well talk about it, and let everyone here know about it."

Master Puhong folded his palms together and said, "Don't dare. Actually, we didn't expect to encounter these monsters on the way here. We have always heard that these monsters are still raging in the south, but we are seven hundred miles south of Qingyun Mountain. In a small village, more than a dozen monsters were found attacking the village, but unfortunately we went too late, and all the villagers were killed."

"Ah!" Reverend Daoxuan and Yun Yilan exclaimed, seven hundred miles to the south of Qingyun Mountain, although it is not close, it is not very far.At this time, most of the monks in Tianyin Temple who stood behind Master Puhong showed expressions of unbearable expression, and several monks joined hands and recited Buddha's name. It must have been a tragic scene at that time, which left a deep impression on these monks.

Master Puhong sighed at this moment, with a look of unbearable expression flashing across his face, he sighed: "Those monsters are indeed just like the legends, they are mutated from several ferocious beasts in the southern border, and they are cruel and easy to kill. Leave a life alive. When encountering such monsters, even if they break the precept of killing and damage their cultivation, we still want to eliminate harm for the people, so we will go down and get rid of them."

Reverend Daoxuan raised his palms up, and said: "Master is acting on behalf of the heavens, what he has done is merit and virtue, not a crime of killing, master, you don't need to be sad about it."

Puhong sighed and nodded, while Yun Yilan frowned, but was concerned about another question, and said, "Master Abbot, I have something else to ask."

Venerable Puhong said: "Master Yungu, please tell me."

Yun Yilan said: "Earlier we didn't hear that these monsters had already arrived there. Now that the master met this time, the beast monsters must have arrived near Qingyun Mountain soon. I don't know if there are any other people on this road, except this village. Master, have you found any beast monsters yet?"

Master Puhong shook his head and said: "Not really, except in that village, I haven't seen it in other places. Presumably, a small number of evildoers were running fast, and we happened to bump into them."

Reverend Daoxuan sighed: "It's their misfortune, it's a pity they can't save those villagers."

When all the monks heard the words, they clasped together and chanted the Buddha's name.

Yun Yilan nodded slightly, and said: "Master, based on the fighting between those beast monsters you saw and the eminent monks of Tianyin Temple, what is their fighting power?"

Master Pu Hong pondered for a while, and said: "Most of these evildoers are ordinary monsters, but they are powerful and sharp claws, ferocious and brutal. If we really want to compare them, the ordinary practice of us cultivators can beat them." Got them."

Yun Yilan nodded, and said: "It seems that most of these monsters are ordinary monsters, and they got separated from the team members."

After speaking, he paused for a moment, turned his head and said to Li Xun behind him: "Xun'er, please tell Master Puhong about the news we have inquired these days."

Li Xun responded, walked out, and saluted Master Puhong respectfully, Master Puhong smiled and said, "Nephew Li, please speak."

Li Xun nodded and said: "Master, after this period of time, we have sent many comrades to the south to investigate, and found that there are three main reasons for the catastrophe of the beast monster catastrophe. One: most of the ordinary beast monsters look like The beasts mutated. Although we don't know what the mutation is, these monsters have indeed become more ferocious and cruel than the original beasts. Ordinary people are absolutely irresistible; The number of alien races is innumerable. The disciples we sent saw countless monsters swarming in the sky many times, the number at least exceeded tens of thousands. Three, among these ordinary monsters, there seems to be an unknown number of special monsters. These monsters are completely different from ordinary monsters. They have powerful demon skills, especially better than many cultivators. I've seen the legendary 'Beast God', so I don't know what kind of character he is, but seeing how he can manipulate countless monsters, I'm afraid he is also an extremely tricky character!"

Master Puhong frowned tightly, and the monks of Tianyin Temple behind him also looked at each other in blank dismay. This time, the cataclysm of beasts and monsters, the situation is obviously unprecedented. Seeing Li Xun's expression when he spoke, it was similar to that of Qingyunmen and incense burners. The dignified expressions of Gu and other characters, it is obvious that everyone is also in a heavy heart.

The hall fell into silence for a while, and after a long while, Yun Yilan let out a long breath and said with a smile: "If these monsters are not powerful, how could they be a catastrophe through the ages! Anyway, things have come to an end, it's useless to think too much, it's better for us Let's discuss how to resist these monsters."

Reverend Daoxuan nodded and said: "What Master Yun said is very true, how about it! I still have some bad tea that I have collected for many years, please come to the inner hall to taste it, we will talk while drinking."

Master Puhong and Yun Yilan stood up deliberately, and confessed a few words to each other, then followed Master Daoxuan into the inner hall. As soon as the three respected and respected figures left, the atmosphere in Yuqing Hall gradually relaxed After coming down, Xiao Yicai, Qi Hao, Li Xun, etc. were old acquaintances with the Faxiang and Fashan of Tianyin Temple, and they all came together to talk now.Taking advantage of this rare moment, Xiao Yicai proposed to take Faxiang and Fashan to have a good look at the scenery of Tongtian Peak. Faxiang and others readily agreed, and Li Xun and others happened to be fine, so they walked out together.

It was already summer at this time, and the climate in the world was gradually getting hotter, but on the towering Tongtian Peak, it was still extremely cool.Walking to a cliff with railings far from the peak, leaning on the railings and looking into the distance, you can see the vast sea of ​​clouds and the blue sky above, which makes people feel that they are out of this world.

Faxiang said in admiration: "I have heard about Qingyun Mountain's fairyland on earth for a long time. I have been here ten years ago and it has already opened the eyes of the poor monk. See you again today. It is still so spectacular and breathtaking. It is a wonder in the world!"

Xiao Yicai said with a smile: "Brother Faxiang is being polite again. When it comes to the scenery, isn't the 'Wordless Jade Wall' and 'Xumi Road, Mustard Mountain' in Tianyin Temple on Mount Xumi more famous places in the world?"

Faxiang smiled and said: "Those are small scenes, how can they compare to such a magnificent scene as Qingyun."

Turning around from the corner of his eyes, he suddenly found Li Xun and Yan Hong standing behind him.Yan Hong was fine, but Li Xun seemed a bit dissatisfied on his face, but after all, he was not back then, and now he has a bit more self-restraint, so he didn't express it.

Fa Xiang was very thoughtful, and there was no change in his face, so he continued naturally: "However, if we really want to talk about these scenery, I think that in the whole world, only Senior Brother Li's Xuan Huo Ran Tian at Fen Xiang Valley can be compared. .Is that right, Senior Brother Li?"

Li Xun was stunned, with a smile on his face, but he still thanked him modestly: "Brother Faxiang is overwhelmed, Fenxiang Valley is a small place, and it is located in a remote place, so I dare not compare it with the scenery of Middle Earth."

There was deep meaning in Xiao Yicai's eyes, he glanced at Faxiang, a half-smile expression appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you don't need to boast, anyway, every place has its own scenery, The vastness of the world is so vast, I wonder if we can see it all in our lifetime?"

Everyone felt it for a while, and said in unison: "Exactly." 'They laughed out loud together.
