Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Peng Wanli asked: "Does the leader have any inferences in his mind?"

"I heard a rumor a few days ago. I don't know whether it is true or not. It may be related to the sudden appearance of a large number of monks in Qi State."

"What rumors?"

Wei Xuande sighed: "It is rumored that Duan Wende, the leader of Laogang Canhua Sect, has been promoted to the realm of Nascent Soul."

Shi Ming was surprised and said, "Has Master Duan broken through the Nascent Soul? Then, the large number of monks who appeared in the territory of Qi are the Demon Sect who escaped from Laogang."

As soon as he spoke, everyone frowned and fell silent. If that was the case, their situation would be very serious.

Due to the promotion of the leader of Canhua Sect in Laogang to Nascent Soul, the situation in Hong Kong will inevitably be unbalanced and break the original balanced structure. The first priority must be to eliminate the remaining demon sects in Hong Kong.

The Demon Sect was already weak and could not compete head-on with the Xuanmen. Now that the headmaster of the Canhua Sect has made great progress, staying in Laogang will only lead to death.

Especially for the senior officials of Laogang Demon Sect, those Jindan monks will be Duan Wende's main target. There will no longer be a place for them in Laogang and they will have no choice but to flee to Xingang.

And their large forces fled to Xingang, and they could no longer hide in hiding. Although the cultivation resources in Old Port were poor, they were still much better than Xingang. Not to mention, there were only three medium-sized spiritual mines.

If they had not been forced to do so, they would not have come to Xingang.

Now that he has come to Xingang, he must establish himself here, and the conflict with the three Xuanmen sects of Xingang is inevitable.

There are rules and regulations between Xuanmen and Xuanmen, and each has its own realm. Although these demon sects came from Laogang, it is impossible for Canhua Sect to help you deal with these demon sect monks, because this is yours The world has nothing to do with him.

Among Xuanmen, bullying and robbery such as large sects annexing small sects are strictly prohibited. This is also a means for the four major Xuanmen to restrict the lower Xuanmen.

The so-called mutual attacks of Taoism that people often talk about refer to wars between different factions, such as the Taixuan sect and the Taoism sect. The war between Qingzhou Xuanmen and Liangzhou Xuanmen is a different matter.

Qingzhou is the headquarters of Taixuan Sect, and all its affiliated sects belong to a group of people.

The relationship between various Xuanmen in Qingzhou and Taixuan Sect is not an absolute subordinate relationship. If we really want to talk about it, it is similar to that between princes and the emperor. The princes pay part of their tax revenue to the emperor every year, and the emperor recognizes his legal status.

But the princes have their own politics, military and diplomacy, and they only serve to support the emperor.

Qingzhou Xuanmen and Taixuanzong have such a relationship. Taixuanzong divides all Xuanmen in Qingzhou into four levels: A, B, C and D, and each pays sect taxes to them according to their levels. Every hundred years, Taixuanzong will send disciples to each sect to collect tribute. Tax.

It allows you to establish a sect, delimits the territory for you, and if you pay tribute and taxes according to the standards, then you are a legal Taoist organization. Taixuanzong will give you certain protection, and its subordinate Taoist clan cannot attack you.

If there is an attack by Xuanmen, it will be regarded as rebellion, and Taixuanzong will destroy it.

In the same way, if you establish a sect without its permission or fail to pay tribute and taxes as required, then you are an illegal organization, and other Taoist sects will eliminate you and annex you without Taixuanmen taking action.

Its structure is similar to that of a chamber of commerce alliance. If a chamber of commerce joins a merchant alliance, it is legal to establish a market. If you do not join the merchant alliance, it is illegal to establish a market privately. The merchant alliance and chamber of commerce can eliminate it.

So what should we do if some chambers of commerce have not joined the business alliance? It's very simple. You can also establish a market by paying a certain amount of tax to a nearby chamber of commerce that has joined the merchant alliance.

In short, the various Taoist sects in Qingzhou are independent existences dependent on Taixuan Sect, and the Taoist sects do not interfere with each other.

If the Xingang Xuanmen loses to the Demon Sect and asks for help from the Canhua Sect, it can refuse to save it. Unless the conditions you offer can impress it, why should it mobilize troops and sacrifice its own strength for an unrelated sect?

Maybe it wishes that Xingang Xuanmen would be destroyed by the Demon Sect or expelled from Xingang, so that it could legitimately take Xingang as its own.

Because the original Xuanmen in Xingang was wiped out and turned into a land without an owner, then it can legally occupy Xingang's cultivation resources by destroying the Demon Sect that occupied Xingang.

………

A ray of light shot straight down from the cloud-covered mountain peaks and landed in the mountain spring and stream. It was a middle-aged man with big ears, thick eyebrows and short beard. There was a bit of alertness in his eyes. He looked around and saw that Get out of the stream.

Not long after, a ray of light came from the west and fell in front of him, revealing a tall and tall young man.

The young man bowed and said, "Senior Hou, my master is waiting in the cave."

The man surnamed Hou said "Hmm": "Has Fellow Daoist Wu arrived?"

The man said: "Senior Wu is having a chat with his master in the cave."

The man named Hou nodded: "Let's go!"

The two of them turned into escaping light and arrived in a majestic cave mansion one after another.

"Oh, fellow Taoist Hou is here. The distinguished guest has come from afar. It would be disrespectful to fail to greet him." In the pavilion, a short and fat man stood up to greet him and took his arm very enthusiastically.

The man surnamed Hou frowned slightly, but let him do what he did, and was pulled to sit down in the pavilion.

The man had short hands and short legs, and his whole body was as round as a ball of meat. His neck was shrunk in a pile of fat meat, and his head looked extremely large. He was smiling, and all the facial features on his face were piled up, which was very funny.

Besides him and the short, fat man, there were two other people in the pavilion. One of them had a face as pale as snow, with eagle eyes and thin lips, and a sinister look.

The other man has white beard and hair, has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and looks like a righteous man.

The man surnamed Hou nodded and said to the kind-faced old man: "Fellow Daoist Wu, long time no see.

The old man also nodded and said: "It must have been decades."

The short and fat man sat down and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Hou, let me introduce you to something. This is Taoist Mo Daode, the master of the Crescent Sect's general altar. If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon become the headmaster of the Crescent Sect. ,Ha ha."

The man surnamed Hou frowned slightly: "Zheng Daoyou means that the Crescent Sect has been integrated?"

The short and fat man sighed: "It's impossible not to integrate! We have been forced out of the old port by others. If we don't unite sincerely, I'm afraid we will die without a burial place. If the integration had been completed earlier, maybe it wouldn't be like this. Look outside In other Hong Kong islands, those sects that have been integrated are not popular and popular, and the more arrogant ones can almost compete with Xuanmen. They are not like us, hiding here and there, like rats crossing the street. "

"When the Yukun Sect came to help our Qinghai Islands sects integrate, I tried my best to push for this to happen. Unfortunately, some short-sighted people only cared about the immediate benefits, and were eventually defeated one by one by the Xuanmen. Now they are finally kicked out. Homeland. Fortunately, it is not too late to make amends. Today we invite two fellow Taoists to discuss cooperation and fight against Xingang Xuanmen."

The man surnamed Hou said: "Fellow Daoist Zheng, what is the reason that forces you to leave Old Port? The cultivation resources there are much richer than those in New Port."

The short and fat man said: "The reason is very simple. Duan Wende, the leader of the Canhua Sect, has broken through Yuanying and promised to completely eradicate the Shangmo Sect in Duoyigang within five years. The two of us have been entangled with it for more than a hundred years, and we have deep hatred. , did not dare to stay longer in Laogang, and immediately led our disciples to evacuate. Seeing this, other tribes were afraid that they would become the primary target of Canhua Sect after we left, so they also left one after another, and gathered together again in Xingang. "

"Originally, I wanted to integrate the sects but failed, but I didn't expect that after leaving Laogang, it would be easy to achieve it. After this change, they also realized that it was useless to be separated. In fact, they had already had the intention to unite before. "

"In the past few years, Xuanmen has been encircling and suppressing us at every turn. Which tribe is not like a rat on the street, hiding in Tibet in fear. This time we are far away from our homeland. We hit it off right away. It was agreed the day before yesterday that the general altar will merge with other tribes to advance together. We retreat together, that’s why we came to see you two today.”

The man named Hou and the old man couldn't help but look at each other. The old man asked slowly: "Since you and others have been integrated and the sect's strength has greatly increased, what do you want from me and me?"

The short and fat man smiled and said: "This is your territory after all, do you have to rely on you? We are outsiders after all, and we don't know much about the situation in all aspects. We have the strength and manpower, and you have the resources to know the situation. If we unite, then we can Now that we have become dragons across the river, wouldn’t it be wonderful to share the spiritual resources of Xingang together?”

The man surnamed Hou and the old man were silent for a while, and the old man said: "Cooperation is okay, but I have a request. You must help me integrate the various tribes in the main altar."

"It's the same here." The man surnamed Hou said quickly

The two of them have been encircled and suppressed by Xingang Xuanmen many times, and their strength is not as good as before. Now, instead of talking about cooperation, it is like seeking skin from a tiger. On the contrary, they will become its vassals. They have no equal strength, and any talk of sharing and sharing is nothing more than lies.

The short and fat man said: "This is natural. Even if you two don't say it, I will still mention this matter. To be honest, with the strength of our two sects, it is difficult to resist the combined efforts of the Xingang Xuanmen to suppress them, but if the integration of your sect is completed, With the combined strength of our four sects, we can compete with Xingang Xuanmen without any fear of them."

The man named Hou and the old man were overjoyed when they heard this.

The short and fat man continued: "I have come up with a method in the past two days. Although it is a bit simple and crude, it is very effective. I just don't know if the two fellow Taoists can agree with it?"

"Oh? What's the solution? Fellow Daoist Zheng, please make it clear that if it can really help our general forum to integrate the tribes, of course we will fully support it." The man surnamed Hou asked

"The method is very simple. Your sect must have been repeatedly harassed by Xuanmen in recent years! You two used the excuse of fighting against Xuanmen to gather all the giants of the various tribes together. They don't know that we have joined forces, so they will not be suspicious. "

"The two of us led the disciples of the sect to ambush outside. If you propose the integration of the sect, if anyone disagrees, we will kill them on the spot and remove their heads with a stab. The others will naturally surrender when they see that I am in a strong position."

"This..." The man surnamed Hou and the old man hesitated. They knew very well who the strongest opponents in their sect were. If they were removed, the sect's strength would be greatly reduced even if the integration was completed.

Back then, under the instigation of the Yu Kun Sect, the sects attacked each other, and all the fighting only ended with the foundation-building monks. They were just showing off and showing their attitude, but in reality, the thunder was loud and the rain was light. The sect is already weak, and if one or two Jindan monks are eliminated, it will become even weaker.
