Chapter 407: Volume D: At Dusk, the Waves Rise, and the Beautiful Woman Is Moved and Confused

"Uncle Guo, do you want to go back to Shanmen to practice?" Chen Huaisheng and Guo Chongdao have always maintained a very good relationship.

Although Guo Chongdao is a somewhat utilitarian person, it did not affect the communication between the two. During the last Fantai auction, Guo Chongdao also helped him inquire about the situation.

"Yes, Huai Sheng, seeing that you have already established the foundation, Uncle Yu is still lingering at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Such heavy chores really affect his practice." Guo Chongdao had already made up his mind to return to the mountain after the Taoist meeting.

Cao Renben failed to attack the foundation. Now he is going back to the mountain to practice hard. He may be able to catch up in three to five years, but if he is always entangled with the general affairs in the capital, it will be difficult.

At the beginning, he and Cao Renben served as the left and right magistrates respectively in Chuangongyuan, and the competition between the two sides was fierce.

But now that the Chonghua Sect has merged with the Lingyun Sect and accepted the Sun family, they have comprehensively reorganized the internal structures of the Chuan Gong Yuan, the Law Enforcement Yuan, the Zhi Ke Yuan, and the Internal Affairs Yuan, etc., and have also raised higher standards for the monks who hold positions in each academy. requirements.

For example, the magistrates of each academy are required to be foundation-building monks, which means that neither Cao Renben nor he has the qualifications to serve as magistrates.

Guo Chongdao understands this. The sect is growing, and the inclination of resources in the future will only be drawn based on the spiritual level. No matter how well he does in Bianjing, once Cao Renben builds the foundation, he will never be able to compete with the opponent. .

"Uncle Guo is right to think so. You have been here for several years and have gained enough experience. If you return to the mountain and concentrate on practicing, you should soon be able to reach the peak and attack the foundation." Chen Huaisheng also agreed with Guo Chongdao. Opinion: "But I'm afraid we have to wait until the Taoist meeting is over, but now Master Guo can mention it to the head master and the others and make arrangements as soon as possible."

"Hey, I'm just worried about this Taoist meeting." Guo Chongdao showed a worried look on his face, "The situation in Beijing is very chaotic. This Taoist meeting is too big, and the Taoist palace has invited all the sects of Western Tang, Nanchu and Wuyue. Come and participate. Now all kinds of monsters and monsters are pouring into Bianjing City, but the specific rules for the competition have not been released yet, and everyone is a little impatient. "

"It's not just that, right?" Chen Huaisheng wanted to find out more about the situation of the Nine Lotus Sect from Guo Chongdao.

Guo Chongdao also knew Chen Huaisheng's thoughts and nodded: "The situation of Jiulian Sect is mixed inside, it is very bad, Demon Lotus Sect and Jingfu Sect are facing each other tit for tat, and Yuanhe Sect is fanning the flames inside. They each have allies, so now it is a fire and water situation. Look, It looks like it is about to break up and fall apart, and no one can stop it.”

"Can't stop it? But if they split and disintegrate, wouldn't the Nine Lotus Sect think that their original enemies would let them go?" Chen Huaisheng asked rhetorically.

"Of course they have thought about it, but there is no solution to the conflict. In fact, the three parties have gone their own way and can no longer interfere with and influence the actions of other sects. What is this if not a split?" Guo Chongdao spread his hands: "As for the original Those rivals and enemies may pounce on and bite them, but as long as they don't bite themselves, they won't feel the pain. In addition, they also feel that although they are falling apart, they are still a loose alliance and can still help each other. Help. Besides, there is Taihua Road."

Taihua Dao is a potential ally of the Jiulian Sect. Over the years, the two parties have been considered unaligned allies, similar to the relationship between the Jiulian Sect and the Chonghua Sect.

"Taihua Tao?" Chen Huaisheng sneered, "The Nine Lotus Sect is no longer the Nine Lotus Sect. Can the relationship between Taihua Tao and them remain the same? Seeing that the Tianyun Sect, Dacheng Sect and Wanxiang Sect are going to be separated. For the benefit of the Jiulian Sect, does Taihua Dao plan to fight against these hungry wolves on his own, or join in to share the pie? "

Guo Chongdao sighed again, "Huaisheng, until this kind of thing happens, no one can say anything. The Nine Lotus Sect people are making too much trouble, and they have been like this in the past few years. The civil strife has not only cost them a lot, but also Otherwise, why would we move north to Hebei? Lingyun Sect would not end up joining our clan."

Chen Huaisheng was speechless, but he knew very well that Jiulian Sect was in danger now.

Virtue is not matched, or the interests owned by Jiulian Sect are extremely inconsistent with the sharp decline in strength caused by the current collapse, which will naturally attract the covetousness of many people.

Looking for opportunities to tear apart and carve up is probably what it should be.

But the Jiulian Sect itself seems to be immersed in a beautiful and peaceful dream, and does not feel that the crisis is approaching. Even if someone reminds and warns them, they still don't take it seriously.

The Chonghua Sect has warned the Jiulian Sect, but the Jiulian Sect is now divided into three branches. Anyone who reminds them seems to be alarmist and intimidating themselves on behalf of the other two parties, which is very unpopular.

Of course, it is true that the reminder from the Chonghua Sect is just a prediction and worry. Of course, the Jiulian Sect also has their own judgment.

Whether it will reach that point, no one dares to say for sure, or some people are too optimistic, such as the Jiulian Sect itself, and some people are too pessimistic, such as many people outside, including the Chonghua Sect.

In addition, the Chonghua Party had quite a lot of complaints against the Jiulian Sect. They have been reminded. If you don’t raise alarm among yourself, who will complain? I'm too lazy to say more.

Chen Huaisheng once tentatively asked Shang Jiuling.

Shang Jiuling's attitude was vague, or rather entangled.

He didn't want to see the Nine Lotus Sect come to an end, but he also felt that once something like that happened, the Chonghua Sect would be unable to save it.

If we take action rashly, we will only involve the Chonghua faction and bring trouble and disaster to the Chonghua faction.

With this mentality, Chen Huaisheng realized that the Chonghua Sect really had no choice but to stay out of the matter.

The entire Bianjing city is extremely lively now.

Facing the upcoming Lantern Festival, the whole city of Bianjing is filled with a festive atmosphere.

Perhaps because the cultivators from Xitang, Nanchu, and Wuyue were invited to participate in the Taoist meeting, there were many more outsiders in Bianjing.

The gorgeous robes of Xitang, the elegant long gowns of Wuyue, the colorful and gorgeous skirts of Nanchu, and people with various accents, all of whom were excited and pointed out the world, can be seen everywhere in Bianjing.

But Chen Huaisheng still didn't wait for Tong Tong.

It was originally agreed that Tong Tong would meet on the fifth day of the first lunar month. This was the message she left at the Taoist temple, but she didn't come, which made Chen Huaisheng a little worried.

Xuan Chimei didn't seem to be in Beijing.

Chen Huaisheng went to ask.

The Taoist temple on the Jiulian Sect side seemed to be a little chaotic. The person who replied should not be a disciple of Yuanhe Sect, so the response was cold and rude, just saying that he was not there, and there was no other explanation.

Chen Huaisheng was very depressed by the repeated setbacks, but fortunately there was Kou Qing.

When Chen Huaisheng saw Kou Qing, he was stunned.

She was a 19-year-old girl with a beautiful figure and appearance, and a cold and bright temperament, which made people feel a little ashamed.

The fitted purple satin trousers were pressed into the jimo, and the long skirt with a floating feeling had long slits on both sides for easy floating. With a delicate jade belt tied around the waist, she immediately had a heroic aura.

It has been three years since I last saw her. Has this girl changed so much?

Looking at the somewhat dazzled man in front of her, Kou Qing was very happy, but the other party also brought her infinite shock.

He has built a foundation? ! How is this possible?

Am I seeing it right?

He really has built a foundation. It took Kou Qing a while to struggle out of this dizziness. How could he have built a foundation in just a few years?

I knew he was extraordinary, but it shouldn’t be so outrageous, right?

Although I had agreed to visit him in Hebei, I broke the promise again and again and failed to go. Three years ago, he was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but three years later, he has already established his foundation.

Even if he broke through the realm and advanced in one year, he should only be at the ninth level of Qi Refining, how come he has already established his foundation?

I still think that I have been practicing hard and making rapid progress in the past three years. I was already at the fifth level of Qi Refining in October last year, and now I am ambitiously working hard to reach the sixth level of Qi Refining this year.

I didn't expect to catch up with him, but at least I couldn't fall further and further behind him. Who would have thought that this was not as simple as falling further and further behind, but simply beyond my reach. How did this guy practice?

Grabbing Chen Huaisheng's wrist, Kou Qing gritted her teeth and said, "Tell me, how did you practice? What kind of skills did you use? Or did you eat some kind of spiritual treasure to cleanse your bones and roots? I don't believe that my talent is much worse than yours, how did you build your foundation?"

If it were someone else, Kou Qing's reckless behavior would probably hurt him immediately, but Chen Huaisheng was also shocked, and then let the other party hold his wrist, "Then you check it out, raise your spiritual sense, and see what tricks I have? Don't you see, you are the daughter of the Kou family on this street, aren't you afraid of being laughed at and misunderstood?"

Kou Qing threw Chen Huaisheng's wrist away in dismay, and quickly looked around. People came and went, but fortunately, because it was too lively, not many people noticed the two of them. Even if they saw them, they thought it was just a couple playing together.

"Hmph, what kind of rich lady am I? The Kou family doesn't need me." Kou Qing's face darkened slightly, but then it regained its brightness, "Come on, you just came to the capital, is there anything you want to buy? I'll go shopping with you?"

"Yes, yes, Xuanhuang Divine Soil, do you have it?" Chen Huaisheng looked at Kou Qing's pupils and said softly.

A touch of rouge floated from Kou Qing's fair face, all the way to her neck. She punched Chen Huaisheng hard, and Kou Qing's voice trembled and became a little softer: "Hmph, do you still remember Xuanhuang Divine Soil? Haven't used it enough?"

"I'll never use it enough." The clarity and heat in Chen Huaisheng's eyes made Kou Qing dare not look at him again, and quickly turned her head away: "Where can I buy Xuanhuang Divine Soil? Unless some family's children stole it and sold it, where can I find it on the market?"

"Then how did I get it?" Chen Huaisheng liked to see Kou Qing's shy look, and he became more and more proud.

Kou Qing was really flustered by Chen Huaisheng, especially on this street, so she quickly grabbed Chen Huaisheng's arm and pushed him forward to prevent this guy from talking nonsense here.
