Crazy Xiuxian, boundless magic power

First, the Qingtian Sect and Guiyuan Sect received a message from Chu Wen, saying that the emperor ordered them to help guard the border, which made them very happy.

The Qingtian Sect and Guiyuan Sect are both small and insignificant sects that are not even qualified to be included in the "Record of Immortal Sects". It is not their turn to guard the border.

In the past, the two sects only managed to survive on their own small piece of land, and dared not touch Qingyun's other resources. They even dared not go far when going out to collect herbs, for fear of encountering other people's territory.

Not to mention entering the secret realm of Lingshan to search for treasures, only those from well-known sects and families listed in the Immortal Sect Records are qualified.

Now it is obviously a great opportunity to ask them to assist Chu Wen in guarding the pass. Not to mention getting a chance to be recognized by the Immortal Sect, it would also be good to be able to show their face in front of the emperor.

As for danger, it was not within their consideration at all. With Chu Wen as the big tree providing shade, even if there was lightning, it would not strike them.

So, after receiving the news, they quickly decided on the candidates for the expedition, and the two sects made the same decision at the same time.

That means even the Nascent Soul stage will go, and the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment stages won’t be embarrassing if they are shown out.

The next morning.

Chu Wen bid farewell to Xiu'er and the people from Fengyinju, and jumped onto the forbidden cloud of Fairy Liuyun.

Following behind him were the eight Nascent Souls: True Man Wuliang, True Man Longxiang, True Man Yunyin, True Man Xuanmo from the Qingtian Sect and True Man Ziyang, True Man Yuheng, True Man Mingjing, and True Man Wuwei from the Guiyuan Sect.

There are also six big guys in the gourd: Huayan, Qiaoyu, Shiqing, Huayi, Xiangjun and Xuewei.

Direct flight to Beiguan.

Shangguan Qingyun was surprised to see that Chu Wen, the small county magistrate, had summoned eight Nascent Souls to help him, and secretly sighed that this boy had good popularity.

......

The two countries of Beiliang and Qingyun are separated by two mountain ranges that stretch for 6,000 miles. The naturally formed valley between the two mountains is the border between the two countries.

At the beginning of Qingyun's founding, the two countries fought a battle at the border, and since then, there has been peace for a long time.

In the past ten years, Beiliang suddenly launched an uprising and continued to harass the border.

Under the leadership of the Shangguan family, all the major sects and families in Qingyun divided up territories and garrisoned on the border, one to train their children, and the other to preserve their own interests.

You must know that if a country is destroyed, the clans and families will also perish.

Even if they surrender, the cultivation resources they have will be divided up, and the disciples in the sect will eventually become other people's servants.

This is the cruel side of the world of cultivation.

Wealth, friends, Dharma and land are ultimately limited. How can you achieve enlightenment without fighting or competing?

......

The Hanquan Pass where Chu Wen was going was a mountain range of hundreds of miles long. It was adjacent to the Shangguan family’s territory in the east and the Taiyi Sect’s sphere of influence in the west. It was a place carefully selected by Shangguan Qingyun for Chu Wen.

Although the imperial edict stated that Chu Wen had to guard Hanquan Pass for ten years, Shangguan Qingyun had already sent someone to inform his sixth brother when he issued the edict, asking him to help him look after Chu Wen.

Shangguan Qingyun was deceived by Chu Wen's gentle and elegant appearance, but she didn't know that Chu Wen was a swindler, a scoundrel, and a rogue who loved treasures like his life.

Now that we have been ordered to smash, loot and rob, the one who needs to be taken care of is not Chu Wen, but the people on the opposite side.

......

Hanquan Pass was originally guarded by the "Changsheng Sect". The Changsheng Sect has been guarding Hanquan Pass for nearly a thousand years, and nothing major has ever happened.

The guarding commander, Master Lingyun, has achieved perfect Nascent Soul cultivation. Some time ago, he received an order from Shangguan Qingyun, asking him to lead his team back to the sect to recuperate for ten years.

He was originally somewhat happy. After all, the spiritual energy at the border was thin, which was not conducive to cultivation.

Later he heard that the person who came to replace him was a mortal county magistrate, which made him feel a little humiliated.

This day was the day of handover. Master Lingyun and more than twenty of his disciples were waiting at the pass early in the morning, wanting to see who the newcomer was and who was guarding Hanquan Pass alone under the title of a county magistrate.

When the sun was high in the sky, Master Lingyun saw a white cloud flying towards Qingyun, followed by eight beams of light.

Looking closely, those eight rays of light turned out to be eight Nascent Soul cultivators. Two of them had reached the Perfect Nascent Soul stage, and the one with the lowest cultivation level was in the middle Nascent Soul stage.

Not only that, the white cloud flying in front was extremely mysterious, and even the slightest bit of spiritual consciousness could not penetrate it, making it impossible to see who was hiding in it.

When Master Lingyun saw this lineup, he turned around to look at the two Nascent Souls, eight Golden Cores and a dozen Foundation Establishment disciples behind him, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​giving the county magistrate a show of power.

The white cloud gradually came closer, and when it was only two miles away from the pass, a cultivator who had reached the Perfect Nascent Soul stage flew to the side of the white cloud and said something.

After a few breaths, a young man in disheveled clothes appeared in the white clouds.

Master Lingyun saw that the young man had reached the early stage of Golden Core cultivation and his facial features matched the description in the edict. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a stunning female cultivator with the level of Spirit Transformation cultivation stand up next to the young man.

The female cultivator was buttoning her chest while helping the young man to tidy up his clothes. She did not have the dignity of a great god.

Master Lingyun stole a few glances at the woman's chest, but seeing the peaks and peaks rising one after another, as white as jade, he was filled with envy.

"Is this the Magistrate Chu of Shuiniu County?"

"That's right, kid. I guess the Immortal is General Lingyun."

Chu Wen has always had a sweet mouth. He straightened his clothes and bowed happily in reply.

Master Lingyun saw that the Divine Transformation Female Cultivator was very respectful to the County Magistrate surnamed Chu, so he did not dare to be arrogant and replied in a serious tone:

"I am Ling Yun. I wonder if Master Chu has a Buddhist name?"

"I call myself Yun Fengzi, I am sorry to make you laugh."

Seeing that Yun Fengzi was very polite and smiling all the time, Master Lingyun let down his guard and flew into the air to meet Chu Wen at the pass.

After a few polite words between the two, Master Lingyun, inspired by the scene just now, was anxious to return to the sect to see his fellow Taoists, so he got straight to the point.

"Does Fellow Daoist Yun Fengzi have anything to ask you?"

"I'm a newcomer here and I know nothing about this place. I hope Immortal Lingyun can explain it to me in detail."

"No one told you before you came?"

"No, I just received an order to guard this place for ten years. I don't know anything else."

Master Lingyun saw that Chu Wen did not seem to be lying, so he patiently explained the matters related to Hanquan Pass one by one.

Chu Wen listened and asked, and finally understood the situation here.

It turns out that the reason why Hanquan Pass got its name is because there is a cold pond in the valley to the north.

The cold pond is not big, only ten meters wide. A small stream overflowing from the pond meanders for several miles, and it happens to be located at the border between the two countries.

The Northern Liang Kingdom was founded ten thousand years ago, but the Shangguan family has only been in power for a thousand years.

At the beginning of Qingyun's founding, Beiliang sent troops to invade. The Shangguan family dispatched two scattered immortals, showing a desperate attitude. Only then did Beiliang cease fighting and exchange it for a thousand years of peace.

Over the past thousand years, the Shangguan family has united the sects and won over the hearts of the people, and now Qingyun has become one.

Logically speaking, Beiliang should have retreated in the face of difficulty, but for some reason, Beiliang has repeatedly violated the border and harassed the enemy over the past decade. Hundreds of monks on both sides have been killed or injured, and the situation is getting worse.

In recent years, Beiliang's methods have become increasingly brutal. After crossing the border, they began to massacre mortals, even babies were not spared wherever they passed.

This action angered all the major forces in Qingyun, and they began to fight back in the past two years. The two sides have been fighting back and forth, with each side winning.

Fortunately, due to the agreement between the two sides thousands of years ago, the cultivation levels of those stationed at the border are all below the level of Refining Void, otherwise there would have been countless casualties.
