break the way [comprehension]

Flying mountains are emerald, hanging waterfalls are like forests, thousands of auspicious clouds, and Lingtao are like seas.

Qiongying and Qiongyong, sisters and brothers, have no mood to appreciate this beautiful fairyland on earth. They finally arrived. In the midst of apprehension and anxiety all the way, they saw such a magnificent scene that surpassed the barren imagination of their small world , what rose in the hearts of these two people was only endless shock and awe.

Yes, awe.

Even Qiong Yong, who has always been fearless, couldn't help showing a timid look on his face at this moment: "Sister, do you think we can see Uncle Liu? Will those adults be satisfied with...?"

This young man looked rough-eyed, obviously a straight-talking person, but he reserved what he said at this time, and his sister obviously understood what he didn't say.

Qiongying raised her green eyebrows, and the determination in Yinghua's inner eyes flashed: "Since we can come to the Violet Gate, we can naturally satisfy those adults."

However, would the powerful people who can live in such a fairyland really put that bit of Hanxiangyan in their eyes and satisfy their requirements?

No matter how sure she was to Qiong Yong, Qiongying felt very uneasy in her heart, but she led her brother through hardships and escaped many life and death and many sinister intentions. At the end of the day, she must not say those depressing words to dispel the little hope left by her brother at this time.

Qiongying seemed to have remembered something, turned her head and said sharply: "How did I tell you, Uncle Liu? Such a great alchemy, how can you just cling to it!"

Qiong Yong sadly agreed, their father had passed away, but the other party was already a high-ranking sect monk, how could they be called brothers like hundreds of years ago, he really shouldn't be called uncle.

The siblings adjusted their breaths on the spot for a while, and Qiongying carefully took out a messenger talisman—this was an old friend their father met during their travels, and it was also the reason why the siblings dared to cross many small worlds to come here. The only reliance on Zi Luomen's begging for help, although looking at it now, this reliance does not seem to be very reliable.

A breeze blew past: "Huh? You two... Could it be that Brother Qiong is a descendant? How is he now? You sent a message to me, but what's the matter?"

Qiongying saw this person's handsome posture and clear expression, and recalled that in the handwriting left by her father, it was written that Liu Yelan was a hero with a big heart and a righteous heart. Come quickly, and even ask about your father's situation before asking what you are asking for...

In just a short meeting, Qiongying, who was tense all the way, seemed to have found a little support, and there was a trace of sadness in her expression: "Father... passed away a few months ago."

Liu Yelan was stunned. The joyful and reckless travel around the world hundreds of years ago, singing with arms and swords as if it was still yesterday, the old friend is no longer there...

However, the way of comprehension has always been like this.

It is so cruel, first call for friends and companions, then the voice of the people gradually fades away, and finally walk alone... Going forward alone is the truth of the road.

The joyful songs and laughter that accompanied us, but like a dream bubble, will eventually dissipate.

The Taoist training told him that he would still feel sad when he received Qionghua's sad news, but there would not be too many fluctuations. It was just that Liu Yelan just sighed when he saw the two weather-beaten children who had faint traces of their old friends in front of him. One voice: "That's all, you come with me."

If he remembers correctly, when we parted at the beginning, he intentionally entered the Violet Gate, wanting to learn the supreme alchemy and seek the true meaning on the way, but Qionghua smiled and said that he wanted to go back to the hometown where he was born and raised. , I hope that one day I will be successful in alchemy, and I can also go to see the evening sunset reflected by the glaciers there...

These two children came across so many worlds, I am afraid that they also encountered great difficulties, otherwise how could it be like this.

Liu Yelan is not the kind of soft-spoken person. Today, he was born as a casual cultivator, but he can have a place in the Ziluomen, where there are many capable people in alchemy. The handwritten records are too consistent, and the words and deeds in the father's stories are generally the same. The two siblings did not have much fear of the great monk's aura, but felt inexplicably close. Things come one by one.

Qiongying's face was full of bitterness: "Father has worked too hard for the family, and the homeland is really barren. Even if there are cold fragrant rocks, and because of the remote location, it is rare to exchange such natural materials and earthly treasures with the outside world. Even if there are occasional borders The domain merchant also kept the price extremely low. My father's realm has been stagnant for many years. I live in a corner, but I also heard that the situation is turbulent. Even the merchants from the realm come less, but the monks who collect spiritual objects come again and again. Our land is really poor. That time...Father was really angry Seriously, we just hope to exchange Hanxiangyan for something suitable for the clan, those monks..."

Speaking of this, Qiongying had long been choked up, and Qiongyong had tears in his eyes and clenched his fists, as if the scene of his father's collapse was in front of him.

Liu Yelan has heard too many things like this, it happened to his old friend, it only made him feel bitter, and more he just felt that in this cultivation world, it really speaks for itself. Back then, he advised Qionghua not to let her down. With talent, you can better protect everything you want to protect when you have a higher level of realm, but Qionghua's answer is: "I'm afraid that if I learn the Dao, everything I want to protect will no longer exist."

Back then Liu Yelan was speechless, but now when he recalled that young man with gentle brows back then, he felt an indescribable oppression in his chest that had been indifferent for so long.

Could it be that Tiandao also thinks that a good person like Qionghua should end up like this?It doesn't count if I fall down, the homeland I have been guarding so hard has been exploited, and even the two children under my knees have gone through the pain of being separated, seeking refuge in myself, an old friend hundreds of years ago?

The world is like this, so that people only feel that long songs should cry.

Liu Yelan's mood swings were only for a moment, but it had been too long for a great monk.

"Why are you here this time?"

According to what the siblings said, their father died several years ago. If it was because of his father, they would not have come to look for him until now, presumably there must be some accident.

Qiongying also talked about her taking over as the head of the patriarch after her father died: "...At first I also suspected that there might be some kind of trap in this weird magic weapon. But that time I was really forced to do nothing, without the Lingxi Pill, more and more people in the clan went crazy, so I finally used that magic weapon and exchanged a batch of pills with Hanxiangyan... It turned out to be true It's done!"

Not only Qiongying, but also Qiongyong showed a kind of joy on their faces. It was almost the happiest day for the siblings since their father passed away. Even monks who occasionally came to collect supplies could not completely destroy their mood. However, their Hanxiang Rock produced in the Hanxiang Realm is the key collection of materials, but they can also use the weird magic weapon called "Treasure in the Palm" to exchange for the spiritual objects needed by the people in the hometown, and everything in the clan is getting better.

As Qiongying spoke, her tone faltered, and then she knelt down towards Liu Yelan with a thud: "Renren Liu, I really have no other choice. The magic weapon said that because the magic weapons for delivery have been frequently attacked recently, All transactions were actually stopped, but the monks who came to collect supplies intensified, not only Han Xiangyan, but also the spiritual objects used by the clan. , but those young children, He Gu, if their spirits are interrupted, I am afraid that they will have no hope of practicing in this life, the homeland is so cold, if they do not have cultivation, how can they grow up..."

Speaking of later, Qiongying's eyes were full of water. If she was not desperate, how could she take her brother on such a desperate road?Along the way, neither she nor Qiong Yong has a high level of cultivation, even if there is only one mistake, if any monk who is full of greed at this time knows that they are carrying the cold fragrance rock, I am afraid that they will die and lose money.

Liu Yelan's expression had already suppressed all emotions at this time, he just looked at the girl in front of him lightly: "Would you like to stay with me in Violet Gate?"

Qiong Yong was startled, and then an unbelievable ecstasy appeared on his face.

Qiongying was also happy, but she wanted to think more after all, and she couldn't help asking as she thought about it: "Renren Liu, if my brother and I stay, in that clan..."

Liu Yelan said calmly: "I can ask someone to send a batch of spiritual objects over there."

Qiong Yong was overjoyed when he heard that there was a spiritual creature in the family that relieved the urgent need, and he and his elder sister could stay in such a blessed place full of spiritual energy and practice Taoism with Liu Yelan's great master. There is simply no better thing in the world It's over!

Qiongying's brows gradually dimmed, she glanced at the happy younger brother beside her, forced a smile and said: "Thank you, Master Liu, for taking care of my brother."

Liu Yelan took a look at the somewhat thin girl. From the look of her eyebrows, it was obvious that she was more like her mother, and the boy was more like an old friend, but she never expected that in terms of temperament, she resembled the old friend ten to ten—thank you Taking care of her younger brother means refusing to accept his taking care of her, insisting on going back to the cold and barren Hanxiang Realm.

Compassionate, soft, and loving the homeland, he is [-]% like Qionghua back then.

It's just that for Liu Yelan, the Cold Fragrance Realm is the responsibility of Qionghua and Qiongying's father and daughter, but not his.If he is willing to help and take care of him, he has fulfilled the friendship of the past. Now that the world is in turmoil, and he does not know what the future will be like, he has already done his utmost benevolence and righteousness.

Liu Yelan nodded, acquiescing to Qiongying's choice: "What else did you plan to do?"

Qiongying cheered up quickly, and her eyes lit up when she heard the words: "We brought a lot of Hanxiangyan here this time, and we also hope to exchange some pills in Ziluomen."

It's not that they didn't pass through some small worlds that could be exchanged for materials along the way. It's just that the Lingxi Pill needed for their cultivation can only be refined by the Violet Gate, and the price is fair, so they had to travel all the way.

Although Liu Yelan said that he could help transport a batch of supplies to meet the urgent need, but that was only a temporary need. When Qiongying was planning for her younger brother's future, she also considered for the whole family, and hoped that this transaction method could continue , Thinking of this, she felt bitter, if only that treasure in the palm could continue to be used, why should she rely on the blessing of Master Liu all the time...

Liu Yelan couldn't understand Qiongying's longing for a long-term deal with the Ziluomen. Qiongying was willing to sacrifice her way to fulfill the people in the Hanxiang Realm. I mean, I will definitely help with this job.

A few months ago, this matter would have been a matter of little effort to Liu Yelan, but the situation is different now.

Since the fall of Xiaolin Cave, the elders of the Ziluo Sect have been out of control. In their view, the Ziluo Sect is also a famous sect. With powerful aid to Austria, it is no different from Xiaolin Cave in the past. It is a matter of course to completely win the former status of Xiaolin Cave.

But the actual progress is not so smooth. First of all, Xiaolindong used the right to allocate materials to monopolize many resources that day. Although Xiaolindong is gone, the rest of the sects are not vegetarians. In the resource scramble battle, the Zi Luomen did take the lead because they planned to seize the position of Xiaolin Cave, but they never expected that they would be severely beaten by the Yaozu on the Suojing Xingyun, which they were most determined to win. A slap in the face.

The Chisha lava in the Suojing Xingyun and the massive spiritual plant resources in the Violet Gate complement each other perfectly. If they can get it, the Violet Gate will not only make up for their usual weak refining shortcomings, but also make up for their already strong It can be said that when Xiaolin Cave showed signs of decline but had not yet collapsed, Zi Luomen had already coveted Suojing Xingyun secretly, and began to collude with the elders of Xiaolin Cave, especially in Xiaolin Cave. As soon as Lin Dong fell, he moved one end of the teleportation array from Xiaolin Cave back to his own mountain gate. The attack was swift and swift, without giving the rest of the forces a chance to react. They thought they were so well prepared and attacked so early, but in the end they were defeated. That was a slap in the face.

Moreover, from the point of view of Liu Yelan, a Ziluomen alchemist master, he didn't know the truth, and he didn't believe that the matter of Suojing Xingyun was done by the Yaozu, whoever believed in it was an idiot.

Suojing Xingyun is one of the core resources of Xiaolin Cave. It is far behind the Zhanwu League forces, and it is blocked so that it can only rely on the teleportation array to get in and out. How can the monster race appear so quietly behind the Zhanwu League? land?If the monster race really has such a powerful ability to appear and disappear, why bother to grab the Suojing Xingyun, what do they want Chisha molten liquid for?take a shower?Wouldn't it be nice to have such a terrifying ability to directly raid Zhanwuyuan, carry out the beheading operation, and take down the Zhanwu League cleanly?

When this happened in the first place, it still caused great terror in the entire Zhanwu League. All the sects, especially Zhanwuyuan, were terrified and heavily guarded, for fear that the matter of Suojing Xingyun would happen again, but now it has been several months In the past, there are quite a few powerful demon weapons on the Yaozu side, but this kind of terrifying teleportation and surprise power is like a flash in the pan. After the Suojing Xingyun incident, there is no trace. The front line is getting tighter and tighter, and there is nothing to do. Under the tense battle, the army of monks who were heavily guarded by the various sects had to grit their teeth and be sent to the front line to prevent the front line from collapsing. The defense of each sect had to relax. In theory, if the Yaozu really has the power to make a surprise attack, this is the best opportunity, but the trepidation of the various sects seems to be a joke now.

From Liu Yelan's point of view, behind the Suojing Xingyun incident, I'm afraid the Yaozu just acted as a scapegoat!

But no matter which scheming force is behind this incident, the other party has obviously achieved its goal. This incident seems to be nothing more than a competition for the resource of Chisha molten liquid, but it is a blow to Ziluomen's plan to replace Xiaolindong. But it was huge beyond everyone's expectations.

This kind of blow is not a material loss, but a prestige one.

Didn't you Ziluomen deliberately want to replace Xiaolin Cave, didn't you regard Chisha molten liquid as something in your pocket, but now you can't even tell who is behind the scenes, let alone clean up the other party. In addition to the internal jokes of the Zhanwu League, in the ensuing resource scramble, the Violet Sect will work hard again. The allies and followers who were willing to cooperate closely with them either resigned or have their own ghosts... Not to mention the conspiracy and tricks of swords and swords up.

This resulted in the fact that the Zi Luomen tried their best and shouted at the top of their lungs, but in the eyes of other famous sects, it was just a joke.

But Zi Luomen has been plotting for a long time, and even in the matter of breaking Xiaolin Cave, he can't say that he deserves the word of hard work, so how can he be willing to let his ambition go to waste? Up.

The so-called forced superiority is naturally to use the Ziluomen's ability to [-]%, whether it is kidnapping or using force, it is necessary to convince the other sects of Ziluomen's status.

As the most important resource of Ziluomen, pills have become a strategic means of key control in this situation. To win over allies and attack dissidents, the many pills in Ziluomen's hands are indispensable.

A few months ago, the transaction of Lingxi Pill and Liu Yelan saying hello to the small steward in the sect, but today, it is not so easy.

Zi Luomen's control over pills is all-round. Not only is it very strict on transactions outside the sect, but within the sect, the flow of pills is also firmly in the hands of several elders. After all, each It is inevitable that there will be friendship between the monks of the sect. If the sect's plan is ruined because of personal friendship, this is not what the Ziluomen wants to see. Therefore, a few months ago, the Ziluomen was moved by the many alchemists in the sect. Knowing it for profit, so as to prevent alchemists from privately trading pills with the outside world.

Even if it was just a small batch of Lingxi Pill this time, Liu Yelan could do something with his hands, but for this long-term deal... Liu Yelan frowned slightly. A monk like him who wholeheartedly pursues the way of alchemy hates those who are currently in the Violet Sect. It's a matter of running a dog, but as the daughter of an old man, she has to go to find those disgusting things.

In the Ziluomen where the immortal energy is lingering and spiritual plants are everywhere, the new light of the Dingzhou Hall is very eye-catching. It is very contrasting with the image of the ancient famous family that the Ziluomen has been emphasizing hoarsely recently, but the brilliance of the flying magic weapon is overflowing The liveliness of the show is so ironic that people can't help but see it.

The two sisters Qiongying and Qiongyong were worried, Qiongyong was alright, just looked at Master Liu with no joy or anger on his face, and felt uneasy when he led them to this place where countless monks came and went, Qiongying was very worried, She was afraid that what she was looking forward to in her heart would cause too much trouble for the real person. If the other party had any friendship with her father, it would have been hundreds of years ago...

Liu Yelan's face was as plain as ever, but in the depths of his eyes he heard the faint din of Ding Zhou Hall, and he couldn't hide the disgust in the depths of his eyes. When he came to Ziluomen, he just hoped that this place where the way of alchemy has been passed down since ancient times can make people feel happy. I can make achievements in the way of alchemy with peace of mind, but now...

Although the Dingzhou Hall is usually lively, it is not so noisy. After all, this is also the upstart hall specially set up by Zi Luomen to realize the rise of the sect. Defa Zi, the word Ding Zhou, is enough to express Zi Luomen's great ambitions and expectations for Ding Zhoutang. Naturally, not everyone is qualified to step into such an expensive place.

But now, when Liu Yelan took a closer look, he couldn't help but frown.

I saw that above the Dingzhou Hall at this moment, those flying magic weapons overflowing with light are dazzling. What's even more strange is that inside these various flying magic weapons are exactly the same flying boats flowing with emerald light. There are hundreds of flying boats Hanging in mid-air, it actually surrounded Ding Zhoutang tightly.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Liu, you also received the message to come and see?"

The speaker's surname is Tong Mingqing, and he is one of the few nodding acquaintances of Liu Yelan in this Ziluomen.

Tong Qing's surprise can't be faked. In his impression, Liu Yelan devoted himself to studying the way of alchemy. If it wasn't for the Ziluomen, he would have to fulfill various sect obligations in exchange for many cultivation resources such as Lingzhi Dan, Huo Danfang, etc. Well, I'm afraid he wished he could retreat and practice hard like the ancient monks, and not ask about these messy worldly things, but now he also came to watch the excitement, which is really surprising.

Liu Yelan looked around, and it turned out that all kinds of magic weapons in the circle outside were all disciples who came to "take a look" after hearing the news...

A sneering smile on his lips was fleeting, but he nodded towards Tong Qing with a gentle expression, and said via voice transmission: "What's going on next?"

Tong Qing was about to explain, but heard a loud bang from the Dingzhou Hall, billowing thick smoke came out of the dazzling hall, and the surrounding Ziluomen let out a loud gasp.

At present, Ding Zhoutang controls all the plundering of external resources of Ziluomen, and the trading of elixir. It is conceivable how domineering his power is, but now someone really dares to break ground on Taisuimen!

There was only a loud shout: "Shangguanzheng! How dare you be so presumptuous! Do you still have my Violet Gate in your eyes?!!!"

Shangguanzheng?Liu Yelan looked at Tong Qing in surprise, and said in a low voice, "Who else can command so many front-line troops and dare to fight in Dingzhou Hall, except General Shangguan?"

What surprised Liu Yelan was that Shangguan Zheng led the frontline army of Ziluomen, and was stationed firmly on the frontline like a needle fixed in the sea. Given his role in the frontline, how could he come back for no reason?With his loyalty to Zi Luomen, how could he attack Ding Zhoutang for no reason?What the hell happened?

Faintly, Liu Yelan only felt that the top of Zi Luomen's head, which seemed to be shining brightly and shrouded in immortal energy, had been cast a dark shadow.
