Chu Chen Kee

Bai Yi finally broke free from Li Yuchen's tricks, and turned to ask Mei Ji: "So, when are you going to leave?"

Su Xun replied: "The thoughts of the Yue clan are clearly revealed. In order to prevent being in a passive position, His Royal Highness has already prepared troops. You just need to wait for you to get ready before you can set off."

Having said this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "Now the war between the two countries is imminent. Although there is a buffer from the Guifang tribe, once they are suppressed by the Yuezhi army, I am afraid they will not be able to resist for a long time. If it involves us in the Central Plains The common people will lose more than they gain."

Bai Yi always felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he comforted him and said, "Don't worry about this. Although there are people from the Wu Clan on the Yue Clan, my master has already started to contact all major sect, ready to join forces against the witches of the witch clan."

The expression on Su Xun's face became very strange, but the corner of his mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.

Bai Yi still sees things too superficially.

Now that the world is in decline, is it a crisis or a turning point?

Those sects have been suppressed by the Tianxuan Sword Sect for thousands of years, and if the Xuanjian Sect is withered to this point today, even if Shuiyue can be worth one hundred today, it is impossible for him to fight against the entire cultivation world by himself.

To put it simply, Tianxuan Sword Gate is also facing a crisis.

No sect of cultivation dared to say that they were not afraid of Shuiyue from Tianxuan Sword Sect, but no one could guarantee that they had no idea about the highest power status in the cultivation world.

Once the Tianxuan Sword Sect falls from the position of Taishan Beidou, it will definitely face the disaster of annihilation.

People's hearts are unpredictable, so we have to guard against it.

The Tianxuan Sword Sect is too heaven-defying and too enviable, not to mention that their sect address is one of the few remaining ancient ruins in the world that is full of aura.

Although the Witch Clan thinks that now is their time, this kind of thinking is the common enemy of everyone in the cultivation world, but who can say that these cultivation sects can really unite and fight against the enemy together?

And Shuiyue is even less likely to pull Fox King into this muddy water.

Otherwise, once the crime of provoking a dispute between the cultivation world and the demon world is confirmed, even Shuiyue will find it difficult to turn over.

"Tomorrow." Bai Yi could only nod his head after hearing what Su Xun had said.

The next day, Bai Yi, Li Yuchen, Mei Ji, Hu Ziying, and Su Xun boarded a gorgeous and spacious carriage together, and set out on the road under the guise of praying for His Majesty the Emperor.

It's been a smooth journey.

At least this is still the case when you reach the bottom of Mount Jiuhua.

The general cultivation sects are isolated from the world, but this Jiuhua sect is an exception.

A hundred years ago, the ancestors of Jiuhua Mountain came out of the mountain in troubled times and helped the Li family's royal family a small favor, so they also got a meritorious service from the dragon and were named as the guardian of the country.

Later, an empress came to power and began to vigorously suppress Jiuhuashan, the sect of the protector of the country. After that, the spread of Taoism in the Central Plains was once hindered.

It's just that once the secular things are contaminated, it's not so easy to get rid of them.

Although the Jiuhua Sect is not very eye-catching in the world of comprehension, it is the top one in the world in the eyes of the world.Even though it was suppressed, it was still inextricably linked with the imperial family, and ordinary people did not dare to provoke it.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, the Jiuhua School is no longer a cultivation school in the traditional sense.

I have to say that Li Chenhuan's attack on the Jiuhua faction is actually very unkind...

Of course, Li Chenhuan would not care about such trivial matters.

Although I have seen the whole picture of Jiuhua Mountain on the map before, but now I am in it, I can still feel a kind of misty like a fairy mountain.

"Jiuhua Mountain has a good geographical location. It gathers the aura of heaven and earth. It is not surprising that there is a fairy mountain cave." Su Xun stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up.

Among the cloud-shrouded mountains, there are strange peaks, emerald pines, jagged rocks, flying streams and waterfalls, just like a fairyland outside the world.

It was already noon, and it was time for lunch.

Li Yuchen, Su Xun, and Hu Ziying all inevitably turned their gazes to the pile of dry food prepared on the carriage, and then looked at Bai Yi with a begging look.

Even Mei Ji couldn't stand eating these dry and hard buns for days.

Bai Yi was left speechless by the eager eyes of the crowd, and when he was about to speak, he heard a rooster crowing from the foot of the mountain not far away.

"Haha, the lunch is ready!" Hu Ziying cheered, and immediately disappeared in place as an afterimage.

"You little bastard, don't cause any trouble for me!" Mei Ji shook her head helplessly, and followed closely.

Without Yue Ze watching over him, this little guy would never be safe for a moment. I really hope things go smoothly over there!

Bai Yi and Su Xun looked at each other, and then laughed, this little fox was originally a little fox, and he liked chicken the most, so it's not his fault, it's his nature!

Li Yuchen was also a little hungry, and pulled Bai Yi to follow him quickly.He was naturally very happy to have roast chicken for lunch.

From a distance, they saw a small farmyard hidden by firewood doors.

In the yard, a seven or eight-year-old boy shrank behind an old man who staggered, and looked timidly at these unknown people who suddenly broke into the yard.

There is also a field of leeks planted in the corner of the yard, which is pleasingly green.

Next to it was an old stone mortar, an old dog, and four chickens.

Hu Ziying looked at Bai Yi with a bit of embarrassment. He didn't expect this situation. When he broke into the yard, he only noticed the old man and children inside.

It was clear that the family was having a hard time.

Mei Ji stepped forward and said with a gentle smile: "Old man, the child's ignorance has disturbed you. May I ask, is there a place to rest near here?"

The old man also looked at the men and women who suddenly appeared in his yard with some astonishment, and both of them looked like gods.

After Meiji asked him gently, he came back to his senses, then shook his head and sighed: "There is no one else, they have all moved away. Now there are only the old man and my little grandson in this ten-mile radius."

There is a kind of gentle but charming power in Meiji's voice, which makes people believe her involuntarily: "Why did those people move away? Don't you have any other relatives in your family?"

When asked this question, the old man seemed a little sad, then shook his head and said: "You guys also hurry up, this is a place of right and wrong, and it will cause disaster."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Yi heard the voices of two people talking from far to near.

The old man's face changed immediately.

He looked nervously at the few people in the yard, and urged in a low voice, "Go into the house quickly, don't come out!"

Bai Yi and the others looked at each other in confusion, but seeing that the old man was not malicious, they nodded and agreed to his request and entered the room.

"Old man Zhang, have you prepared the schedule for this month?" While speaking, two Taoist priests in civilian clothes, one fat and one thin, entered the fence gate.

The old man muttered: "The medicinal materials in the field haven't matured yet, can the two priests take it easy? The old man will deliver the money in person in a few days."

The thinner Taoist priest had a sinister face, and he spat disdainfully: "Old man, if it weren't for the fact that your son used to be our disciple of Jiuhua Mountain, do you think you can still live on our territory?" ? Although the newly appointed acting head has allowed you to live here forever, you can’t delay like this, can you?”

The fatter Taoist next to him paused for a moment, turned his head to look around, and also showed distaste on his face: "We two brothers are so unlucky to be assigned such a crappy job. Just three or two pieces of broken tiles can't cover it." It’s rare to find any oil in such a dilapidated house. Forget it, let’s go to another house.”

The thinner Taoist priest thought for a while, his eyes stopped on the chickens next to him, and he licked the corner of his mouth: "Then give this to us for the tooth-beating festival, and it will save a trip for nothing."

Hearing the words, the old man immediately bowed his head and nodded, "If the two priests don't mind, please accept, accept."

The two Taoist priests swaggered and grabbed two chickens each, and left the old house arrogantly.

Bai Yi and the others inside were all furious when they heard what the two Taoist priests said outside.

It's a pity that it's inconvenient for them to reveal their identities right now, so they can only watch the two Taoist priests leave.

Looking at the empty chicken coop, the old man sighed and said nothing. After wiping the corners of his eyes, he got up and walked to the door of the room. He knocked on the door and said, "Let's go quickly, don't be fooled by them." I see."

Mei Ji walked out with a warm smile, and asked gently: "Old man, why did those two priests and monks act so arrogantly just now?"

Hearing that, the old man sighed deeply again, and said, "It's a long story."

Then, he told Bai Yi and the others.

It turns out that there are nearly dozens of villages, large and small, near Mount Jiuhua. People in each village work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and relying on the sect of Mount Jiuhua, they lived a life that was very enviable by others.

But just a month ago, the head of Jiuhua Mountain was seriously ill, so he let his eldest disciple take over the power, but the respected elder among the heads was a little upset, so the elder and the acting head were fighting against each other, and the elder didn't know where to go A very powerful master was found, and everyone in the sect couldn't beat them, so the elder got actual power.

It would be fine if that elder had high morals and high prestige, but he is a villain who cares about every detail, and for some reason he started amassing money crazily.

Jiuhua Mountain used to be the land allocated to them by the emperor. At that time, the head was kind and took in many homeless people after the war, and allowed them to live under Jiuhua Mountain. Gradually, dozens of people here The village also prospered.

But now, the elder insists that this land is the boundary of Jiuhua Mountain, and all the people who live here should pay them the land rent.
