Chapter 538: Volume D: Double Ninth Festival Every Year, the Battle for the Bridgehead

Chongyang Mountain is now nominally the lower house of the Chonghua Sect, and its status is still being further improved.

If nothing unexpected happens, in five to ten years, or even less than that long, Tiangang will turn against itself. Chongyang Mountain may become the Upper Court, and Wolong Ridge may become the Lower Court.

Except for the Western Tang Dynasty, which was arrogant and refused to admit it, Wuyue, Nanchu, Bashu, and Hebei all had to admit that Da Zhao was the true master of cultivation.

The Dao Palace is the place where the world's cultivators yearn for. Without the recognition of the Dao Palace, even the sects of Wu Yue and Nan Chu will feel that they are inferior.

This is why although the Seven Elders of Chonghua (Shang Jiuling, Ding Zongshou, Linghu Zui, Zhu Fengbi, Qi Hongkui, Li Yu, and Du Guo) are based in Wolong Ridge, not only two of them have been stationed in Chongyang Mountain for a long time, but also several other big bosses have also been stationed in Chongyang Mountain for a long time. The reason for frequent rotation in Chongyang Mountain.

Basically, Chongyang Mountain now maintains three long-term residences from the Zifu.

When Chen Huaisheng came out of Wolong Ridge, Ding Zongshou had already gone south before him and set off for Chongyang Mountain. Qi Hongkui and Li Yu were still stationed in Chongyang Mountain. When Ding Zongshou arrived, there were three Zifu stationed there, which shows that Chonghua party Chongyang. Attention to mountains.

According to convention, Chonghua disciples who traveled south from Wolong Ridge to Da Zhao basically went to Chongyang Mountain to stay and pay homage.

In fact, there are not many such cases, because there are not many disciples below the foundation level who can get permission to travel. Most of them are concentrated in high-level Qi refining disciples, while there are only twenty or thirty disciples above the foundation level. , most of them focus on practicing at Shanmen.

Calculated, only six or seven people can travel from the mountain gate every year.

Without Li Yu, Chen Huaisheng did not plan to go to Chongyang Mountain. Although he could not go far, it would still be delayed for two or three days. However, Li Yu was in Chongyang Mountain, so it was unreasonable for him not to go.

"It's a good idea to go there. I heard that Yao Wenzhong is also on Chongyang Mountain. He just got started not long ago." Xuan Chimei said leisurely: "Of all the people who were in that small temple, I am the only one who has not seen Yao Wenzhong now. , this meeting can be regarded as a wish."

"Well, there seems to be another Yue Dingsheng, right?" Chen Huaisheng blinked and looked at Xuan Chimei with a smile.

Xuan Chimei rolled his eyes at him charmingly, "Was he there that night? It was only later in Bianjing City that you met Senior Brother Yue, right? Wu Yang told me about the circumstances of your meeting with him, huh, in fact, he also No matter what,..."

Chen Huaisheng enjoyed the banter with his children very much, "Humph, that little toad wants to eat swan meat. If I don't express my attitude, won't he have to push forward and look forward to Sichuan? The fence must be firmly fixed first, so as not to open his eyes. People come with wishful thinking.”

Xuan Chimei laughed out loud, but she was extremely happy in her heart, "How can there be someone like you? Holding the bowl, holding it in your mouth, looking at it with your eyes, you are not afraid..."

"Hehe, I'm really not afraid. Those who are capable should work harder."

Chen Huaisheng looked so smug that Xuan Chimei couldn't help gritting her teeth and punched Chen Huaisheng on the shoulder several times.

"Then shall we go to Chongyang Mountain?"

"Go ahead. I also plan to talk to Uncle Li. I'm afraid he will be stationed in Chongyang Mountain this winter. Who knows what the situation will be like in Chongyang Mountain this winter? It's better to be prepared and give them a reminder than to be unprepared."

The situation here in Chongyang Mountain is still relatively complicated.

It turns out that the disciples of Yuhan Sect are eager to stay in Chongyang Mountain, but from the perspective of maintaining the unity of the entire Chonghua Sect, Chongyang Mountain is not suitable for the original disciples of Yuhan Sect to live.

Linghuzui himself understood this very well, so almost all the Yuhan Sect disciples followed Linghuzui to Hebei.

Instead, those who stayed here were mainly the disciples of the original Chonghua Sect in Langling and the original Lingyun Sect in Yiyang Prefecture, as well as some of the original disciples of the Nine Lotus Sects except the Yuhan Sect. In short, except for the Yuhan Sect, Apart from the disciples of the sect, there are others.

However, this situation gradually changed after two or three years, and some original disciples of the Yuhan Sect also began to move to Chongyang Mountain.

Chongyang Mountain also needs disciples who are familiar with the situation to be responsible for building and operating the Chonghua Sect's base in Da Zhao, so the number of Chongyang Mountain disciples has expanded rapidly.

From the original Yuhan Sect, which had only 178 disciples, to the Chonghua Sect, which initially had only 80 or 90 disciples after leaving, it has now expanded to more than 220 disciples, and it continues to grow. Among them, it is estimated that there will be nearly 300 people.

In addition to the complex composition of the personnel, who takes the leading position in handling affairs on the Chongyang Mountain side is also a difficult problem that tests the unity within the Chonghua faction.

Except for Linghu Zui who had not stayed in Chongyang Mountain in recent years because he needed to avoid danger, the other six elders, including Shang Jiuling, had all stayed in Chongyang Mountain.

However, there has been no conclusion on who will take the lead in handling the affairs of the Chongyang House of Commons.

It goes without saying that Shang Jiuling is here permanently, but Shang Jiuling can only stay here occasionally. The real ones who are actually here are Zhu Fengbi and Qi Hongkui. Later, Ding Zongshou came more often, and then Li Yu became a permanent resident. There are some foundation-building monks who assist them in handling affairs here, so there is competition and fetters over interests.

Li Yu only started to stay here for more than a year. His flexible methods and good at dealing with people have won the recognition of some people.

Chen Huaisheng didn't feel much when he set foot on Chonghua Mountain, but Xuan Chimei was moved by the scene.

She had not walked through all the gates of the Jiulian Sects before, but she had been to Chongyang Mountain and Jinlian Mountain. It was just that time had passed, and things had changed, which only added to the sadness.

You can feel the lively scene here outside the gate.

Unlike Wolongling, the popularity of Dazhao is much higher than that of Hebei.

Ji County is also a populous county, and the area where Chongyang Mountain is located is a densely populated area, so not only the cultivators of the Chonghua Sect are stationed here, but also the population of Shanyang Prefecture where Chongyang Mountain is located is 1.2 million, a real big prefecture. In the past, because the Yuhan Sect was relatively low-key, and the Jiulian Sect was divided into nine places and governed independently, the Jiulian Sect did not have much influence on the prefectures and counties where the mountain gates were located, and did not interfere much in local affairs.

In the past, in addition to the Yuhan Sect, Shanyang Prefecture also had two smaller sects and families.

Although Qingguang Dao was also strong in Ji County, after the last round of fierce battles, Qingguang Dao was seriously injured and no longer had much energy to deal with the matter. This also gave many people some hope and thoughts.

As a result, the small sects and independent cultivators in the prefectures of Ji County naturally split into two groups, one group followed by Chonghua Sect, and the other group was led by Qingguang Dao.
