Chapter 75 Waiting for the Rabbit
Qi Xuansu remembered very clearly that the "dream meeting" of the Qingping Society was to enter an unknown place through dreams. Qi Niang said that it was in the dream of a certain "person", but now it seems that it is very similar to Wu Luo's method.
Could it be that the "dream meeting" is not in someone's dream, but in the kingdom of the ancient immortals?
For a moment, Qi Xuansu didn't know whether to believe Qi Niang's statement or his own guess.
Zhang Yuelu was very interested in talking. After giving the example of Wu Luo, he talked about several other secret societies.
Qi Xuansu restrained his emotions, remained silent, and listened attentively.
Zhang Yuelu mainly talked about three secret societies, all of which were clearly labeled as "cults" by the Taoist sect.
First is the Purple Light Society, also known as the Purple Light Sect. It has few members, mostly women, who have been carefully selected and trained by the Purple Light Sect since childhood. Not only do they have outstanding looks, but they are also the best at guessing men's minds and serving men. They can be said to be both talented and beautiful. In addition, they have identities carefully arranged and woven by the Purple Light Sect. They may be disciples of Taoism, girls from good families with clean backgrounds, or daughters of a wealthy family. "
Some girls are born weak and sickly, so members of the Purple Light Sect will pretend to be Taoist nuns and visit them, saying that they will take them to become nuns to practice. When they return home after a certain age, the root of the disease can be cured. Some families are reluctant to let them go, and some families send their daughters away. When those girls return home, they have become chess pieces carefully cultivated by the Purple Light Sect.
The Purple Light Sect is passed down from generation to generation, and is best at playing idle chess and cooking cold stoves. Some Purple Light Sect disciples may never be used by the Purple Light Sect in their lifetime after marrying into a large family. In the eyes of outsiders, she is just an ordinary woman. But her roots are still in the Purple Light Sect, and her daughters and granddaughters will also become members of the Purple Light Sect.
This will lead to a situation where the Purple Light Sect has used several generations to cultivate a family. From grandmother to mother to daughter, they are all members of the Purple Light Sect. If you check, it must be nothing. If they can't find out, it will be very difficult to prevent the daughter of this family from marrying into other families. Coupled with the other operations of the Purple Light Sect, these women are like spiders weaving webs, forming a big web under the sky.
The most glorious achievement of the Purple Light Sect is that the Purple Light True Lord transformed into a Taoist companion of a Canzhi True Man and sneaked into the Xuandu Zifu of the Taoist sect. After his identity was exposed, he fought with Donghuang, which shocked the entire Taoist sect. It was because of this incident that Xuansheng issued the first Grand Master's Edict on combating secret societies.
Then there is the Zhiming Sect. They believe in death. A person who does not take his own life seriously will not take the lives of others seriously. So they manipulate corpses, play with souls, and often stir up trouble.
Compared with the Purple Light Sect, the Zhiming Sect prefers violent means. They have spread curses in several small foreign countries. The living people are turned into zombies, and the zombies can continue to infect other living people, and eventually the huge city is turned into a ghost den, and the zombie army forms a corpse tide, spreading to all directions, sweeping all directions, really like attacking cities and plundering land.
In this process, the souls of the living people are sacrificed to Siming Zhenjun. For the ancient immortals, the soul, flesh and blood, and incense and vows have the same value. The difference is like chickens and eggs. You can raise chickens to lay eggs, or you can kill chickens directly and eat meat. Zhiming Sect is undoubtedly the latter approach.
However, such actions often attract harsh suppression from the Taoist sect. The last time the corpse tide broke out, the Taoist sect directly dispatched a great Taoist, a first-grade spiritual officer, and twelve Taoists. The remaining third-grade and fourth-grade Taoists numbered hundreds, and there were countless low-grade Taoists and ordinary spiritual officers. All members of Zhiming Sect who participated in this matter were All of them were killed, their bodies and souls were destroyed, and no one was spared, which caused the power of Zhiming Sect to suffer a heavy blow and has not recovered yet.
Finally, there is "Tian Ting". In order to distinguish it from the "Tian Ting" in Taoist mythology, the word "Ting" from the Western "Sheng Ting" was taken.
If Tian Ting is regarded as a person, he can be said to be the most arrogant person in the world. He claims to be the unity of Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Shamanism, and Sheng Ting. He claims to have achieved the unity of the three religions that the leaders of Confucianism and the masters of Taoism in all dynasties have not achieved, and he has also added Shamanism from the grassland and the Sheng Ting from the West.
However, unlike the ancient immortals, they are very "vulgar". In addition to incense and vows, they do not want flesh and blood and souls, but only real gold and silver. They wantonly make money and deceive hundreds of thousands of people.
In such circumstances, it is mainly the court that will wipe out such evil cults that are harming the country and the people. In response and revenge, Tian Ting has also made moves to start an uprising, but most of them are not successful and are vulnerable to the men in black.
It's just that the Qingluan Guards have not been able to capture the core high-level officials of the Heavenly Court, which has always been able to revive.
Qi Xuansu often travels in the martial arts world, and has heard some of these secrets, such as the so-called "Heavenly Court", which is called "Bai Yang Sect" by the martial arts world. In the early years, it was a branch of the White Lotus Sect, believing in the future Buddha. Somehow, it established its own sect and converted to believe in the Bai Yang First Ancestor, and merged with the remnants of the Qing Yang Sect. As a result, it became more and more outrageous, and even created a Five Daos Unified, and many martial arts people were involved and became members.
As for the Purple Light Sect and the Zhiming Sect, Qi Xuansu had never heard of them, and couldn't help but secretly marvel at the means of these secret societies.
It was the existence of these secret societies that allowed the Taoist sect and the court to maintain an extremely peaceful situation, rather than fighting each other to the death.
Qi Xuansu asked, "Since this group of thieves is related to the ancient immortal, should we continue to investigate?"
"Of course we should continue to investigate." Zhang Yuelu's eyes lit up, "It would be best if we investigate for three months, so I don't have to go home, and since it's related to the ancient immortal, my mother can't say anything."
Qi Xuansu did not object and asked: "What now? Go after the thieves who have escaped?"
When it comes to dealing with ancient immortal believers, Zhang Yuelu is more professional.
Zhang Yuelu said in a deep voice: "They are all little minions, and they may not know the details. However, the Lingshan Witch Cult is domineering. If we kill their people, they will never let it go easily. They will most likely come to us, so we only need to Just wait and see.”
Qi Xuansu took a look at the terrain outside the ancient temple. It was quite open. Not far away was a dry forest, and then asked: "Qingxiao, do you still have 'Fengyan Jiajiu' or 'Dragon Eye Yier' in your hand?" ?”
"Both of these things are of great value, and the quotas are fixed. There cannot be any excess. They will only be distributed as appropriate when deployed abroad." Zhang Yuelu rejected Qi Xuansu's idea without thinking, "And for such a small scene, There is no need to use this kind of killing weapon.”
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to ask: "Is there any substitute?"
Zhang Yue Luxiang thought for a while, took out a small bag from the Xumiwu, and said: "This is the 'Fengyan Yisan'. It is much less powerful, but it is more powerful than it is in quantity."
After taking it, Qi Xuansu opened the bag and glanced at it. There were about a dozen of them, the size of hawthorns, and he began to think about how to use this bag of "Phoenix Eyes Yisan".
Qiniang told him more than once that fighting in the arena is not a competition in the arena, there is no fairness at all, it is about using every possible means,
The matter of realm cultivation comes from the founders of the three religions. Its original intention is not to compete with others. Take Taoism as an example, what they want is nothing more than the word "immortality".
Therefore, realm cultivation is related to the level of combat power, but there is no inevitable connection. Under normal circumstances, the higher the realm, the stronger the combat power, but it is not absolute, and there are exceptions.
For example, those Huayuan Taoist priests who have little fighting experience are of high level, but when they encounter people who have been fighting life and death in the rivers and lakes all year round, even if their level is slightly lower than that of the Huayuan Taoist priests, the Huayu Taoist priests may not be able to win.
Battles in the rivers and lakes, especially battles of life and death, not only pay attention to the level of realm and cultivation, but also pay attention to the time, location, tact, magical power, and external objects. These are the six essentials. If you get five of the six essentials, you will definitely win.
Qi Xuansu left the ancient temple and began to make some arrangements outside the ancient temple in advance.
Zhang Yuelu still stayed in the ancient temple, searching around to see if there was anything he had missed.
About half an hour later, Qi Xuansu returned to the ancient temple and asked, "Are there any other gains? For example, some free money or something."
Zhang Yuelu was sitting on Yurefu's big tiger-skin chair, resting his chin with his hands, studying the beads in his hands carefully, and said: "They are believers of the ancient immortals, and most of them will hand over large sums of money directly, so don't do this." idea."
Qi Xuansu sighed: "It is said that a horse is fat without night grass. When can I see night grass?"
"It's a pity that I don't have money either." Zhang Yuelu said with a smile, "If I were the eldest daughter of the Zhang family and had a grandfather who was a heavenly master, he would reward you with thousands of peace coins to save you from falling into the eyes of money all day long. "
Qi Xuansu said in a strange way: "Isn't this raising a pretty boy?"
Zhang Yuelu was silent for a long time, and after a while he said: "Tianyuan, when you see my mother, please restrain yourself."
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuelu has gradually become accustomed to Qi Xuansu occasionally saying "astonishing words". This time, he was not angry and took the initiative to change the topic: "I found similar beads on another corpse. I suspect they hurt me. The ancient immortal's magical power comes from these two strings of flowing beads, which are similar to the armor of Lingguan."
Qi Xuansu said in surprise: "Two acquired people, with just a string of flowing beads, can hurt a banished immortal in the stage of returning to his true form, which is more powerful than a flying sword."
Zhang Yuelu said: "These two strings of flowing beads are one-time objects. Now they have lost all their magical power and have turned into ordinary flowing beads. In a sense, these things are the same as our 'Dragon Eye Yi Er' "There is no difference between 'Fengyan Jiajiu' and 'Fengyan Jiajiu'. If you can kill Diswen with 'Fengyan Jiajiu', I won't be surprised if they use this kind of thing to hurt me."
Qi Xuansu nodded, agreeing with this statement.
Whether he killed Diswein or the woman injured Zhang Yuelu, the key was not the foreign objects but the timing. If Diswein was not at the end of his strength or Zhang Yuelu was prepared, these foreign objects would not be able to hurt them.
Zhang Yuelu was about to speak when his face suddenly changed slightly, he dropped the Liuzhu in his hand and said, "Someone is coming."
