The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

After staying in the room for half a month, the time has passed the gathering date assigned to them by the Lingxiao Sect, but there is still no movement and no notification as to what they should do next.

Xu Zhiyu, who was afraid that the situation would change, did not continue to draw the talisman, but wandered around the fortress, hoping to learn something about the situation.

In the current fortress, the number of monks is several times greater than when they first arrived. Among the people coming and going, the foundation-building monks are bustling, and the Zifu monks can be seen as far as the eye can see.

If you sense it carefully, you can still detect one or two auras of Jindan Daoist. As for those who are building a foundation, there are basically none. Even if you encounter one occasionally, it is not a call, but a clerk from a shop in the fortress. Two and so on, and their families.

Xu Zhiyu thought while watching, although now with the support of the Jiushi Sect, the combat power of the human Nascent Soul gathered in the Yuebo Fortress seems to be no weaker than the demon clan.

However, from the discussions of the monks around them, it seems that they are all pessimistic about this war between the two races.

Moreover, these people didn't know where they heard the gossip from, and they were yelling at the Zuzhou monk.

"Hey, have you heard? This time the monsters started a war for a reason."

When passing by the door of a teahouse, a loud voice attracted him, and then he walked into the teahouse, sat in a secluded place, and listened to the tea guests talking.

"I have also heard about this, but there are different opinions. I don't know who is right and who is wrong. I heard Brother Yao say this today and it seems that he knows the inside story very well. So please tell us all about it."

A monk from the sixth floor of the Purple Mansion with oily hair, pink face, and gorgeous clothes said cheerfully. He was very interested in this question. At the same time, he seemed to know the person who just spoke.

"Okay, since the young master of the Qi family has said so, Yao will tell everyone about it."

After saying this, he drank a large cup of spiritual tea in front of him generously, letting the overflowing tea wet his chest, and then began to speak eloquently.

"You all still remember that nearly thirty years ago, the Zuzhou monks came to our Xuanzhou inexplicably, right? After they came, they didn't go anywhere and went straight into the area where monsters live in the Hengduan Mountains.

At that time, there were rumors that they had traveled hundreds of millions of miles away from their ancestral continent in search of some treasure. Didn't there also be many monks from Qin State running into the Hengduan Mountains to join in the fun?
But no matter whether it is the Zuzhou monks or our local monks, they have been searching for several years, but they have not found anything of value.

Slowly, our local monks gave up, leaving only the Zuzhou monks wandering around the Hengduan Mountains looking for it.

Perhaps the long period of getting nothing made the Zuzhou monks anxious, so they simply entered the core area where the monsters lived to look for treasures.

This angered the demon overlords living in the Hengduan Mountains, the sixth-order demon kings.

I heard that the two sides could restrain themselves at first, but later on, the friction became more and more serious. I heard that both sides invited many experts from Zuzhou and Fenglinzhou to help out, and a war almost broke out.

Finally, with the coordination of helpers, the two sides reached a temporary settlement, and the Yaozu also agreed to let the Zuzhou monks search their territory.

In the end, they didn't expect that the treasure was really found by them, and then the Zuzhou monk took the treasure and ran away without even saying hello to the demon clan.

Who wouldn't be angry about this matter? The same goes for the demon kings living in the core of the Hengduan Mountains. The Ancestral Continent is too far away from our Xuanzhou, making it beyond their reach, and they are also a bit untouchable.

Therefore, we, the local monks of Xuanzhou, can only resist the resentment and anger accumulated in our hearts. "

After hearing the news, everyone did not investigate whether the news was true or false, and started to curse.

"Pa, these bastards from Zuzhou, they got the treasure and made us suffer in the end."

"That's right, what we suffered was an unreasonable disaster!"

"Yes, it can't be like this. Although Zuzhou is too far away from us and we can't directly denounce them, the Jiu Shi Sect is different!

As the God Transformation Sect, they have a way to contact the Zuzhou forces after all. They should let them send monks over to deal with the troubles they caused, so as not to make us suffer. "

The teahouse, which had been fine at first, suddenly became agitated, with people shouting loudly for Brother Zuzhou to wipe their own butts.

Xu Zhiyu naturally did not follow them in making noises. Amid the shouts and curses, he began to think seriously.

I don’t know if what the monk surnamed Yao said just now is the truth. This is still open to question, but these secrets are definitely not accessible to a fourth-level monk of the Purple Mansion like him.

Because what he told contained a lot of news about the cultivators of the gods, as well as the movements of the top leaders of the human and demon tribes, which was by no means understandable to ordinary people.

Therefore, he concluded that this person should be specially released by some big forces to guide public opinion. Although he could not see any effect for the time being, it was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

While he was sitting there thinking, the guests in the teahouse, encouraged by the monk surnamed Yao and the young master of the Qi family, had already headed towards the Jiu Shi Sect's garrison.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhiyu just shook his head slightly and did not participate. He still drank the spiritual tea by himself.

At this moment, two monks, a man and a woman, walked down from the second floor. They were both late-stage cultivators from the Zifu. Originally, the two of them looked at the empty first floor with very satisfied expressions, but when their eyes glanced at the corner, When Xu Zhiyu looked at him, the smile that had just appeared condensed on his face.

Xu Zhiyu, who was sitting there drinking tea, didn't pay attention to the two of them at first, just treating them as ordinary customers. But when the other person's four eyes stayed on his body, he also raised his head and looked directly at the other person.

At first glance, I realized that the two people in front of me were extraordinary. The man was handsome and generous, and the woman was charming. The most important thing was that the two of them exuded an indescribable nobility. At first glance, they seemed to come from a powerful force. .

When the male cultivator saw Xu Zhiyu looking at him, he nodded slightly as a greeting. As for the female cultivator, it was different. She looked at him with contempt, and then the two of them left.

"Are you sick? I didn't provoke you or provoke you. Why are you staring at me?"

Xu Zhiyu felt confused and looked back at the female cultivator who looked at him strangely just now, muttering in his heart.

The two people who had just walked out of the teahouse were also talking about Xu Zhiyu, who was still sitting in the teahouse.

"Senior brother, who do you think this is? Others heard that it was the monks from Zuzhou who acted as monsters, which led to this human-monster war. They were so angry that they wished they could rush to Zuzhou to find an explanation from those people.

But that kid just now was sitting there drinking tea indifferently. How could he drink the tea like this?

Judging from his appearance, he looks like a human being, but I didn't expect him to be such a idiot. "

The female cultivator complained angrily to her senior brother. Of course, there were many people coming and going here, so she was using voice transmission.

"Haha, junior sister, I have to criticize you for this. Although I know that you want to better complete the tasks assigned by the master, then I feel that all monks should respond to the call and go to the sect's headquarters to petition.

But you have forgotten that monks have different personalities. Some like to follow the crowd, and some like to think independently. The last one we saw may be a more rational one. There is nothing wrong with that. Senior brother, I admire him very much. .

Moreover, it doesn’t matter if there are more or less people to petition. Master also gave orders. This is just an excuse to seek help from the big forces in Zuzhou at the sect headquarters in Zuzhou. It’s not necessary. Too serious.

And didn't you notice? The Taoist friend just now was not an ordinary person. His magic power was concentrated to the extreme, giving people a very dangerous feeling. I had an intuition that if I started fighting with him, I would definitely be the one who died. "

Hearing the criticism from the senior brother in front of her, the female cultivator didn't take it seriously. Although they worshiped the same master, the senior brother in front of her was a full sixty years older than her.

After joining the school, this senior brother also taught her a lot of knowledge on cultivation. She also received a lot of reprimands since she was a child, and she has become accustomed to it.

But when she heard her senior brother say that she was not the opponent who seemed to have no backbone at all, but was only a second-level monk from the Zi Mansion, she felt that she was hallucinating.

"Senior brother, what are you talking about? You said that you are not his opponent. Is that impossible? In the inner disciple competition three years ago, senior brother, you overcame the others and won the first place among thousands of Zifus.

At that time, there was a rumor in the sect that you were definitely the strongest person in Jindan level. How could you lose to a mere second-level cultivator from the Purple Mansion? "

She seemed to understand something when she said this, and said suddenly:
"By the way, he should have hidden his cultivation. That must be the case. Maybe he is a senior Jindan who deliberately lowered his level. This gives you a dangerous feeling, senior brother."

The male cultivator just nodded without comment and continued:

"Your guess is not unreasonable. I also think he should be a Jindan monk, otherwise the vague sense of threat would not always linger around me.

It's just a pity that I was in a hurry today and had to go to the next restaurant to continue completing the tasks assigned by Master. Otherwise, I must make a good friend with this person.

To be honest, I have seen many Jindan masters in the sect, but there are only a few who can make me feel dangerous. "

After hearing this, the female cultivator nodded arrogantly, and then said slowly:
"Senior brother, if you are willing to make friends with him, that would be his honor."

In her opinion, this is the fact. A direct disciple of Yuanying Zhenjun from the Shenhua Sect, even if he only has Zifu cultivation, can befriend a Jindan monk whose origin he doesn't know. It can definitely be regarded as a close friendship.

Seeing the empty teahouse, after Xu Zhiyu drank a pot of spiritual tea, he suddenly lost interest in staying and planned to go to the street to take a look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped out of the door, someone shouted:

"The Jade Pill Palace has arrived!"

"Let's go and see together!"

The streets suddenly became lively.

Everyone seemed to be very interested in this sect, which was only half as strong as the Jiushi Sect, so they rushed to see it.

When Xu Zhiyu saw everyone rushing to greet them, he did not move. Instead, he stood on the steps at the door of the tea house, relying on the geographical advantage, and looked into the distance.

The first to appear were more than 300 Zifu monks who were clearing the way. Behind them were a group of third-level high-grade giant armored rhinoceros, and behind them were full of Jindan monks. He made a rough count, There are as many as thirty people.

Then there was a luxurious chariot pulled by a huge dragon horse. Sitting side by side above it were the monks leading the team from the Yuluodan Palace this time, two genuine Nascent Soul Lords.

Walking at the back of the team was naturally the team of foundation-building monks. It was impossible to count how many people there were, because the team stretched out for several miles.

After watching for a while, Xu Zhiyu turned and left.

He finally understood why Lingxiao Sect didn't make any big move. It turned out that it was waiting for reinforcements from other forces who were also members of Xuanzhou.

However, the war should be about to begin. Now that all the reinforcements have arrived, the morale of the human race has begun to increase, and it is time to fight.

Next, he went to various shops to wander around.

He found that no matter what kind of spiritual object it was here, it was about 20% more expensive than the outside world. He originally thought it was because of the impending war.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper told him that as a bridgehead to defend against monsters, the price of natural materials would be about 20% more expensive.

Because opening a store here is inherently full of risks. If there are not enough benefits, who would be willing to come here? But even though the price is expensive, there is an endless stream of monks buying various resources.

This also gave him the idea that the family could open a shop here and sell the family's unsalable talismans, magic weapons and the like.

As soon as this idea came to his mind, he hurried back to the family cave and wanted to discuss it with his ancestor.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, he saw the Zifu monks from the Lingxiao Sect being escorted out of the door by their ancestors.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, stay."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, walk slowly."

When Xu Zhiyu saw this situation, he did not rush up to greet him. Instead, he waited until the other party left before he walked into the cave and went straight to the ancestor's room.

"What, the Lingxiao Sect just sent an order, asking you and I to report to the Instrument Hall and Talisman Hall, and for Zhikai and the others to report to the War Hall. It seems that my guess was right, the war is about to begin."

Before he had time to mention to his ancestor about starting a shop here, he was told such news.

"Yes, the war is coming!"

Xu Deming said slowly, but he seemed to have thought of something, and ordered Xu Zhikai who was standing aside:
"Zhikai, go and gather all the clan members, and I will give them instructions."

"Yes, Ancestor." (End of Chapter)
