Chapter 111: The Dragon Elephant True Sect’s Daoist Son, a Shocking Secret! The Ten Direction Pillars, the Nine Great Houses, the Change of the Great Xuan Master
"Yip Man Jiang"

Duan Chenzhou looked thoughtful, searching his mind for memories. After closing his eyes and recalling for a while, he slowly said:
"It's been too long since I learned about the specific details, so what I know is only partial."

"only"

"Your master once said this."

"Before the Jiazi year, in terms of talent, in the Northern Cang generation, only the 'Four Wonders of Northern Cang' were considered decent."

"That old man is always very picky. It's impossible for ordinary people to describe something as 'okay' in his words."

"Not many people should have heard of the name Ye Wenjiang now."

"But his sworn brothers of the same generation as him are all famous and influential figures today."

"only"

Duan Chenzhou frowned and spoke in a low voice with great taboo:
"Don't mention this name when you are outside."

Ji Xiu was suddenly startled when he heard this:
"Is it because I secretly learned the secret martial arts of their Zhen Sect without permission?"

Duan Chenzhou shook his head:
"You don't know this name, and you don't know his talent."

"Back then, Ye Wenjiang was nominated in Fenghua Tower in Cangzhou, and left his surname in Daxuan Baiyujing. He has learned six martial arts schools and founded a secret martial art. He was named by the whole Cangbei. Together with three other outstanding talents from the same state, they were called the Four Righteous Ones. That's why there is the saying 'Four Talents of Cangbei'."

"He even joined the Sun and Moon Hall, which was established by the previous Great Xuan Lord himself before the Jiazi year ago, with the intention of gathering martial arts heroes from all over the world, and obtained a Sun and Moon Orb."

"I heard that the Sun and Moon Pearl not only helps one nourish his spirit when worn, but also serves as a symbol of status, allowing one to enter the capital and meet the 'master' unconditionally!"

"Great Xuanren Lord, what is that concept?"

"Perhaps throughout her life, the eyes of such people will never fall on this remote mountain. Whether it is Anning County or Jiangyin Prefecture, in her eyes, there is no difference."

Duan Chenzhou sighed:
"So, beside Ye Wenjiang's fallen corpse, there was a stone wall with teachings left. With that kind of character, he would not leave behind the secret teachings of his own Zhen Sect. It is very likely that this is the only copy that he has compiled with his life's hard work."

"As for why I didn't ask you to go out and mention this name in the future, boy, you have never been out of Anning County, so you don't know what the current situation is like."

Duan Chenzhou's eyes were filled with unprecedented seriousness and solemnity:

"You must listen carefully to every word I say next."

"Now, as time goes by, more than sixty years have passed since his era."

“What was the background and era?”

"Or the previous Great Xuan Master won the 'Nine Dragons' Succession Competition' and ascended to the throne, intending to unite the 'Ten Pillars of the World' and the 'Nine Great Houses' to attack the Six Heavens."

"He attempted to swallow up all the long-standing ills of the heterodox sects and turn them into resources for cultivation, imitating the great dynasties of human immortals before the great calamities of Yang Jiu, and blast out a road to 'human immortality' in order to avoid the years of disaster."

"Unfortunately, that incident involved the entire Great Xuan, causing the 'Eight Heavens Turbulence' that affected the 'Immortals, Pure Land, Heavenly Beings, Gods', etc. of the Outer Dao Heaven, and even the monster giants and demon leaders that were eroded by the Abyss of Ruins Qi."

"It didn't last long. Because of some unknown secrets of Xuanjing, as well as the interests of the top 'pillars' of the Zhen Sect and the top 'big families' of the aristocratic families, the war ended hastily due to the unpredictable human nature."

"Afterwards, Daxuan changed its leader."

“It was from then on”

"In the past, the 'throne of the ruler' would only change once every 180 years. In recent decades, it has changed frequently several times."

"Of course, this has nothing to do with our remote place."

"But if you're involved, then it's related."

As Ji Xiu listened, his expression changed. With the wisdom from his previous life, he slowly came to his senses and his eyes became alert:

"Master, what do you mean?"

"The Sun and Moon Pavilion that Senior Ye joined fell into decline as its leader lost power, and was even liquidated?"

A new monarch has new ministers!

Duan Chenzhou looked surprised:
"Boy, are you really not the illegitimate son of some big bank or even aristocratic family?"

"You can say such a brilliant and concise sentence that can sum up the essence. You really don't look like a horseman."

"Yes, it is said that the 'Sun and Moon Pavilion' opened by the Great Xuan Master in the past had sworn an oath in front of heaven and earth, and made an alliance with the sun and the moon to cleanse the heterodox ways and resume the lost path of human immortality."

"According to your master's words, it was once a glorious period. Even the proud sons of the True Sect and the direct descendants of the aristocratic families would be envious when they saw the people there."

"Even though Ye Wenjiang was only nominated and ranked last, he has never even seen the owner of the museum, or even the emperor who is the emperor of the highest position."

"For our place, that is also a very remarkable achievement."

"But success is like this, and failure is like this."

"We don't know how the last prestigious 'Great Xuan Lord' disappeared."

"But when you look at Ye Wenjiang dragging his decayed body and burying it in the Earth Dragon Cave, you can get a glimpse of some clues."

"in addition."

"He was a disciple of the Dragon Elephant True Sect back then, and he was very famous in his time. That was the True Sect, a majestic vein with a 'title inheritance'. The entire Jiangyin Prefecture was not even enough to press on with one finger."

“As those years passed, what happened afterwards?”

"Broken the name of Daozi of such a person, except for his sect book, the implication is that from now on, the once famous Cangzhou Qiying will no longer be a descendant of the Zhenzong sect. You can imagine it."

"If you let people outside know that Ye Wenjiang died here..."

"It's okay if you don't know me, but if you do, it will only cause you trouble."

Duan Chenzhou patted Ji Xiu's shoulder, looking very secretive.

After hearing the whole thing, Ji Xiu was also surprised.

What do the nouns mentioned by Duan Chenzhou just now represent?
The Great Xuan Master, at the top of the 'Great Xuan Six Volumes', the supreme position!
The eight days are in turmoil, and the system of Tianyu is eroded by the eight external sects!

The Sun and Moon Pavilion is a trusted force established by the ruler, a unique honor!

As for the ten celestial pillars and the nine great chambers.
It represents the pinnacle of the entire Daxuan sect and family.

Like the schools and big banks in Jiangyin Prefecture.
With this level of scale, we are just starting out.

As for Anning County, what is the so-called livelihood, martial arts school?
Perhaps, people may not know that there are such things under the schools and offices.

At first glance, it really makes people yearn for it and want to replace it.

but.
When things involve yourself.

Ji Xiu swallowed his saliva, and unconsciously held tightly the "Sun and Moon Orb" he had touched before.

That thing should be the token of trust that Master Duan mentioned, right?
In the past, it might be a symbol of honor and status for meeting the ruler.

But now, times have changed.

Even the ruler of the previous generation was deposed, and the immortals, Buddhas and heretics could set up temples.
Anyone holding this thing is a traitor, a rebel, or a rebel?
For those who have access to this level, it is a piece of cake to catch him. Maybe besides a pair of naked eyes, there are other means of detection!
"No."

Ji Xiu realized the danger and frowned:
"This item can enhance one's spirit and greatly improve one's Taoist skills. One can tell at a glance that it is made of extraordinary material and is a rare treasure."

"But as the saying goes, a man is innocent unless he possesses a treasure."

"If this hot potato is exposed, it will definitely cause endless disasters. I have the Yuanshi Dao Lu, and this item is at most an auxiliary. Although it is precious, it is not to the extent that it cannot be discarded."

"Why not wait a few hours, take advantage of the night, sneak up to the dock and quickly abandon it!"

In just a moment, Ji Xiu had made a choice in his mind.

He has obtained the secret weapon and has become mercury blood and silver marrow. If he continues to proceed step by step, he will become a master in the future and establish a school. I dare not say it is certain, but it is almost certain. The future is promising.

but.
If it involves the change of dynasties and the treacherous political arena, even if he is only slightly involved, if he takes a wrong step, everything may be overturned!

What's more, this is an extraordinary era, an era where warriors can show their prowess!

There is no need to talk about reason. Even if he pretends to be crazy and fouls himself, I am afraid that people passing by will just slap him in the face and won't be able to explain himself.

"Throw it away tonight, so as to avoid any more trouble!"

He made up his mind and immediately had an idea.

He then exchanged a few words with Duan Chenzhou. In response to Cai Ling'er's congratulations and Ye Ningzhi's longing, Ji Xiu responded one by one. Then, calculating the time, he hurriedly put on his clothes, rode away on his deer.

After these two days, it will be New Year.

As the saying goes, a new year begins with a new beginning. If the old does not go, the new will not come.

Throw this 'Sun and Moon Orb' into the water.
It's also a good omen.

Jiang Li leaned against the wall with her hands folded, her spirit scattered.

Without anyone noticing, including Duan Chenzhou himself who lowered his voice to Ji Xiu, he finished listening to Duan Chenzhou's narration with a thoughtful look on his face.

Not long after, she saw Ji Xiu's departing back.

So he hesitated for a moment, followed closely behind him, and disappeared into the corner.

Wow!
Under the night sky, only a corner of the boundless East Cang Ocean was revealed.

Looking at the sparkling water, Ji Xiu sighed and took out a glass bead that was emitting precious light under the moonlight. He polished it for a while, but it was a pity:
"No wonder Senior Ye died with only a skeleton left. He still held on to this jade bead tightly. He is indeed extraordinary."

"But you and I are not destined to be together"

As he was muttering, he raised his hand and threw the jade bead into the water. He turned around and was about to ride on the deer and leave, but suddenly——

Ji Xiu frowned, and did not hear the sound of the jade bead falling into the water, so he turned his head suddenly, and saw a group of invisible "spiritual thoughts" wrapped around the jade bead. Then, it slowly rose and fell into the palm of Jiang Li who walked out from his side.

"You scared me to death, Miss Jiang."

Ji Xiu's mood was up and down, and he curled the corners of his mouth at the end.

If this thing is caught by someone who knows its value, he will be accused of something. In this county, County Master Zhao will definitely not be counted on. I wonder if his master can withstand it.
Hear his words.

Jiang Li smiled, and used his spirit to influence reality. He squeezed the jade bead and turned it into a jade token. He then stretched out his hand and flicked it, covering up the internal energy.
"I didn't see Mr. Ji looking frightened at all."

"But what you talked about with your master today was exactly the same as before. How come you are becoming more cautious as your martial arts skills become higher and higher?"

Ji Xiu shook his head, then said seriously:
"This has nothing to do with the level of a warrior."

"As the saying goes, there are always people better than you. The higher you stand, the more cautious you should be. Miss Jiang, don't you understand this?"

Jiang Li was playing with the jade token. When she heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said indifferently:

"When you become a great master, you can dominate an entire county. When you are ranked among the highest lords, you can command an entire clan and a prefecture to carry out your will."

"When you become a martial saint, a giant, or even a 'human immortal', why do you need to be cautious?"

"The great power belongs to oneself, and any cage and shackle can be broken into pieces with just one punch."

"Isn't this how you got here?"

Ji Xiu shook his head:

“That’s true and not true.”

"When your fist is bigger than anything else, it is indeed 'the fist is the power'."

"But if you become a martial saint or a giant, does that mean you are invincible in the world and have no rivals or peers?"

Jiang Li was silent.

"It took a lot of planning to achieve that kind of status and power. For the sake of their lives and property, those martial saints are extremely cautious, afraid of making mistakes."

Ji Xiu sneered:
"The barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. The common people and slaves have nothing, so when they get a chance, they will risk everything to climb up. They don't care about any hidden dangers or troubles, because if they are a step slower, they will die."

"But as the situation gradually opens up, it is human nature to gradually understand the pros and cons, the situation and the situation."

"This is not fear."

"It's just that for most people, no matter how many reasons there are, the so-called righteousness, in the end, it all comes down to a matter of 'trade-offs'."

“There is always something to take, and there is always something to give up.”

“No matter how high you climb, you are not immune to vulgarity.”

Looking at the jade token held in Jiang Li's hand, Ji Xiu said:
"This thing has done more harm than good to me before, so I don't plan to keep it, but..."

"But Miss Jiang stopped me."

“Does it mean a lot to you?”

Ji Xiu narrowed his eyes and boldly asked her a question seemingly unintentionally.

In the past, facing the "impeccable" Jiang Li, he couldn't get any details or information out of her even if he tried to ask her indirectly.

This time, it was the first time she revealed her background.

And after listening to Ji Xiu's words.

Jiang Li clenched the jade token tightly and remained silent for a long time.

She looked at the sparkling, vast East Cang Ocean.

After a long time, his frowning brows relaxed slightly, and he murmured:
"I see."

"That's true."

“I’ve learned a lesson.”

"When and how did I forget such a simple truth?"

"It took me until today to see it clearly. It's true that those involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly."

"No wonder he ended up with his body and soul separated, wandering around without a place to go, becoming a lonely ghost."

She whispered a few words, which made Ji Xiu feel a little unsure, so he guessed uncertainly:

"Miss Jiang, you are also from the Sun and Moon Pavilion. Have you ever met this Senior Ye Wenjiang?"

Looking at the boundless East Sea, Jiang Li said nonchalantly:
"That's it."

"However, the Sun and Moon Pavilion is also divided into the ranks of 'Fiery Sun, Brilliant Moon, and Flourishing Stars'. He just took his seat, and I have never met him before."

"only."

"Each of these 'Sun and Moon Orbs' was created by a divine craftsman using the methods of refining instruments and talismans from other sects. They are treasures that are used to enhance the spirit of the warrior who wears them. They are priceless."

"You shouldn't have thrown it away like a worn-out shoe into the vast ocean, leaving the treasure to gather dust."

"I changed its appearance for you and concealed its aura. No one except those from the same origin will be able to detect it."

"Take it."

She looked at Ji Xiu who was hesitating, curled her lips slightly, and said jokingly:
"Oh, by the way, just now our boss Ji was still talking about trade-offs and choices, ah..."

"Now that you have heard my background, you know that I am an unarmed wandering ghost, and I might be the wanted traitor of the Great Xuan, or the remnant of the previous dynasty, so you want to draw a clear line between us."

This woman.

Ji Xiu’s forehead suddenly went dark.

As expected, those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black.

After staying in her house for too long and seeing too many abstract figures like Cai Ling'er and Qing Tuan, this woman, who was mysterious and pretentious at the beginning, has also learned this trick.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"Knowing your reputation as a righteous man, you will certainly not abandon a weak woman like me."

Jiang Li smiled, pinned the transformed Sun and Moon Jade Plate on Ji Xiu's waist, and clapped her hands.

"I have nothing now, I eat and drink for free every day, and I can't teach you anything, so I'll use this thing to collect some interest first."

She yawned:

"Okay, go back to sleep. It's quite late. If you hadn't insisted on throwing away the thing I made with my own hands, I wouldn't have bothered to look for you at night."

"This thing is very symbolic and commemorative, okay?"

"If Daxuan doesn't survive the thousand years, and the next great dynasty comes, or if the ruler of another Tianyu system successfully infiltrates."

"Maybe it can become an antique treasure and its value will double."

"You kid, you really don't understand the market. It would be great if you could pass it down to your descendants. If your family falls into poverty in a few decades or hundreds of years, you can keep this jade token and use it to turn things around."

"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing?"

Jiang Li blinked and wanted to complain when she heard Ji Xiu's words.

Auntie, please stop touching the tattered storybook that Bai Shuo and Qing Tuan, the master and servant, are reading!

Sooner or later your head will be crooked!

The two men rode side by side, each with their own thoughts.

however.

Just left not long ago.

Jiang Li suddenly stopped and pointed at the gate of Anning County. A flash of fire flashed by:
"and many more."

She narrowed her eyes:

“I think I noticed it.”

"There are several unusual smells."

"Demons, demons, and evil spirits."

"It's such a small county town, but it's really lively."

A cold wind blew.

Looking at the streets and alleys with red lanterns hanging, the snow on the ground rolled up with firecracker debris, and suddenly a cold wind blew past, and there was fluffy snow on the horizon, falling against the wind.
Feeling the coldness on her cheeks, Jiang Li murmured:
"It is precisely because there are too many such sudden 'disasters and accidents'."

"We must purge the heterodox teachings and become a true human-immortal dynasty. We can't say that everyone is like a dragon, but at least we have to give the people below a chance to survive."

"But too many people don't understand this truth, or if they do, they just don't care."

Ji Xiu was startled by these words. Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw Jiang Li's serious expression:

"Master Ji, are you ready?"

She pointed in the direction where the Mars light was coming from and said calmly:
"The snow tonight will be stained with blood."
