Countryside Rhapsody

The gorgeous fire clouds spread across the entire sky, as if the entire sky was scorched, but no one was in the mood to appreciate such a beautiful scenery, but was terrified that the ground under their feet had also turned into the same color.

The earth was so hot that it was difficult to get down, the water in the river was evaporated, the dense green forests withered all of a sudden, and many ordinary people were thrown to the edge of life and death all of a sudden. The food that sustains life has become a luxury and a rarity , I don’t know how many people fought for it.

The corpses of the people who were killed by heat, starved to death, and beaten to death are everywhere, emitting a rancid smell in the hot weather, but before it can form a large-scale plague, they will be thrown by the nearby people to those who don't know where It turns into fly ash in the fire pit formed at the time.

With Yulong Dynasty as the core, this situation is still spreading, and the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou has become a huge furnace. Except for those high and high Xiuxian Mountain Gates, it is difficult to find one or two cool and secluded places in this world .

Qin Boran knew that if he didn't act anymore and just waited for the opportunity, then everything he had done before would be meaningless.

After Lingchu bid farewell to his father Qin Xuanmin, Qin Boran hurried back to Jiuxizong. The only thing that made him fortunate was that Qin Boxi had already returned to Jiuxizong with the disciples of Jiuxizong, waiting for Jiuxizong Otherwise, if Qin Boxi sees what Lingchu looks like now, he will naturally not be willing to come to Jiuxizong.

He couldn't bear to bury Qin Boxi's future like this. He always wanted to see his younger brother Qin Boxi flying high. He never had such an opportunity before, so this time he chose to let Qin Boxi come. Nine breaths are here.

That red dress should be more dazzling than the Huoshaoyun at the foot of the mountain.

That red dress should be more proud than the rotten self inside.

The future he is looking forward to about Qin Boxi is a future that is envied and boasted by everyone.

Jiuxizong, known as the world's number one sect of cultivating immortals, is located on the highest mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou. Because the mountain is named Jiuxi Peak, the sect is also named Jiuxizong after the mountain.

Jiuxi Peak has nine hilltops, and Jiuxizong has swept the entire nine hilltops, occupying the entire Jiuxi Peak.

Birds fly away in thousands of mountains, and people in thousands of paths disappear. ①

Using such an artistic conception to describe the towering Jiuxi Peak is definitely not sensational. The shortest hill of Jiuxi Peak has a height of [-] ren, not to mention that the highest mountain has reached the point where "the stars can be picked by hand".

A man-made ancient road meanders above the mountain peak. It is the only way to the Jiuxi Sect. It is also the stone steps that all new disciples must walk through in the annual assessment. There are a total of [-] stone steps. Nine hundred and ninety.

The stone steps imply that the road to immortality is not a smooth one, and it also encourages the disciples of Jiuxizong to climb up bravely in life. This stone step has existed longer than the time since Jiuxizong was established, and there are also People say that this stone step may be the road leading to the fairyland back then.

Jiuxi Peak, maybe it is a mountain whose head has been cut off.

When Qin Boran came back, he heard the ringing of bells from the highest peak of Jiuxizong. The meaning of summoning all the elders of the Nine Breath Sect.

On the highest peak of Jiuxizong, there is an ancestral hall dedicated to Laojun. It has always been the place where the elders of Jiuxizong hold important meetings. On the ground in the center of them, there is a huge mirror. There are clouds and mist in the mirror. Roll over and look in the mirror, and you will be able to notice the scene outside the Nine Breath Sect.

"I said before that the Helian family is unreliable."

"This can't be entirely blamed on them. It's not like the elders haven't experienced the methods of the demon clan."

"In the current situation, even if we send people to Yutian Mansion, I'm afraid they will only return in vain, and may even lose their lives."

"Are we just sitting here waiting to die? When did we cultivators become shrinking turtles?"

"In today's world, who can compete with the Fire Demon?"

"The fire demon has lost the six earth fires, why can't it fight?"

In the ancestral hall, all the elders were in a stalemate. You talked to each other and turned the good ancestral hall into a vegetable market. No matter how much you raised your voice again and again, no one could convince anyone.

Several younger elders believed that they should be actively involved in the world, and that saving people is the duty of ascetics, but the older elders were afraid of the power of the fire demon, thinking that it was no different from moths flying into the flame, and that they were just dying for nothing. .

Just when the quarrel smelled of gunpowder, the suzerain of Nine Breath Sect finally showed up, and the person following behind him was Qin Boran who hurried back.

The suzerain of the Nine Breath Sect has white hair that hangs down to the ground, and his face is a bit old. Although his cultivation base has not yet reached the stage of transformation into a god of gold, it is still enough to be proud of many monks in the world, and the suzerain of the Nine Breath Sect was originally a alchemy cultivator. The method of refining elixir is the best in the world, so it has always been respected by everyone.

"Sect Master." Seeing the white-haired Du Boyi, the noisy elders finally stopped.

"Let Qin Boran talk about the outside situation first." Du Boyi didn't exchange too many greetings. He was originally in retreat, but he came out suddenly because he sensed a change in the world, and he was about to touch a breakthrough. On the verge of this incident, not only did the opportunity disappear, but even his cultivation base declined, but he did not show any displeasure. Shenzhou suffered disaster. If he did not actively respond, Nine Breath Sect would never be able to survive alone.

Qin Boran unreservedly told what happened outside, including Jin Buhuan's abandonment of Feiqiong, all of which were told by him.

Everyone listened attentively. When the name Jin Buhuan was mentioned, one of the elders' eyes lit up: "With the ability of the master of the Pavilion of Treasures, he may be able to fight the fire demon."

The person who spoke was the elder who proposed to be active in the world, but just as he said his words, another elder snorted coldly: "Elder Zhao He, are you joking? Master Zhenbao Pavilion? Why should he want to Join forces with our Nine Breath Sect?"

"Everyone is responsible for the difficulties in Shenzhou." Zhao He said righteously: "I, the Nine-breathing Sect, can't be alone? Let alone the mere Zhenbao Pavilion?"

"It's just Zhenbao Pavilion?" The female elder who spoke sneered: "Elder Zhao He, just based on your words, we can't get the cooperation of Zhenbao Pavilion, so don't be foolish!"

"Elder Zhou Qin, if you have any complaints about me, you can talk about it later, the world is in great trouble, do you still want to put your personal grievances first?"

Zhou Qin sneered: "Where do I have the face to argue with you? Just with your few words just now, you can establish a strong enemy for Jiuxizong."

"Jiuxi Zonggui is the world's largest sect of cultivating immortals, who can refuse to listen to our orders?"

Zhao He's words made several younger monks present look proud, but the older monks frowned. Originally, they did not quite agree to let Zhao He and others be promoted to elders. It's just because although they have high levels of cultivation, they lack experience. They are a generation that grew up in the peaceful age of Dongsheng Shenzhou, so they do things aggressively, and they have an inherent sense of superiority. , the easiest way to create an enemy for the Nine Breath Sect.

Although the Nine Breath Sect is known as the world's number one sect, it has also entered a period of inactivity now that its aura is withered.

The eyes of the older elders were gloomy. If it weren't for the fact that other outstanding disciples could not withstand the withering of fate, how could it be these few people's turn to be the elders.

"Quiet."

Seeing that a quarrel was about to start, Du Boyi said, "Elder Zhao He, the strength of Zhenbao Pavilion should not be underestimated. If we need the help of Zhenbao Pavilion, we must first lower our posture. This is the attitude of asking for help."

Because Du Boyi named and criticized Zhao He, he felt displeased, and immediately retorted: "Why? We are obviously the number one sect in the world, why should we look at other people's faces?"

"Anyone can become the number one sect in the world." Du Boyi looked at Zhao He: "This is just a good name given to us by outsiders. Since it does not belong to us, there will naturally be a lost day. We and Zhenbao Pavilion It is an equal relationship, they will not order us, and we naturally have no right to ask them."

"Isn't it enough to just set up an organization that can dispatch everyone?" Zhao He asked back: "Whoever doesn't join or obey is a traitor to the party and a running dog of the demon clan."

Zhao He's proposal got responses from two or three people. Qin Boran lowered his eyes and didn't say much. Of course he knew how radical Zhao He was, and he never gave up until he reached his goal. He doesn't even hesitate to use some low-level methods for his own purposes.

Qin Boran knew that even if the suzerain rejected Zhao He's proposal now, Zhao He would try every means to achieve his goal.

Such people cannot be stopped at all, and their ambitions have swelled to a terrifying level.

Everyone saw disasters and dangers, but Qin Boran could hear Zhao He's desire to make contributions in Zhao He's slightly glowing eyes and excited tone.

He knew, and the suzerain was also aware of it, but Du Boyi didn't say much, he just reminded Zhao He: "Jin Buhuan is the only living cultivator in the transformation stage, and his cultivation, age, and skills are far above all of us. What it feels like to be an enemy of him, Feiqiong is a lesson from the past."

"So what about the stage of becoming a god?" Zhao Hehun didn't care, "No matter how powerful he is, he is not a god."

Knowing that Zhao He wanted to destroy the fire demon with all his heart, Du Boyi no longer entangled him, but only warned: "Since you can't reach an agreement, you might as well act according to your own methods. After all, the fire demon will not be the only living general of the demon clan. Just keep in mind that no matter what you want to do, you must not act within the Nine Breath Sect, let alone involve the disciples of the Nine Breath Sect!"

Because of Du Boyi's order, Zhao He's face turned ugly. With his status as an elder, most of his disciples are willing to do things for him. Now that Du Boyi has blocked this road, he can only find another way , Zhao He couldn't help but wonder why it wasn't his own master who took the position of suzerain back then, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome now.

He even thought about why the master hadn't left the customs yet. If he had a master to protect him, Du Boyi wouldn't lose face in front of so many people.

Because of being in a bad mood, Zhao He didn't put on a good face either. He snorted coldly and walked out with his sleeves flicked, completely ignoring the elders and suzerains who were older than him. Zhou Qin was so angry After he left, he yelled: "He looks like this, how can he be called an elder?! Everything depends on his own temperament, and he is not afraid of dragging down the entire Nine Breath Sect?!"

"Junior sister calm down." Another elder comforted: "Maybe letting him go for a walk can make him understand a lot."

"I'm afraid I'll get burned." Zhou Qin snorted coldly: "Be careful that you haven't met the fire demon, because you annoyed Jin Buhuan and reincarnated."

"Young people are awesome." A smiling elder said, "It's a good thing that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers."

Zhou Qin rolled his eyes: "Braveness and arrogance are two different things. If you can't see the current situation clearly, I'm afraid we will wipe his ass."

"Zhao He is not a child anymore." The smiling elder said, "He should understand that no matter what he does, he can only be responsible for himself."

"I hope so."

"Okay, okay." Du Boyi didn't let them continue talking: "Compared to the Lord of the Treasure Pavilion who is far away in the sky, we really need an ally."

"Could it be that the suzerain already has his own heart?"

"Bo Ran reminded me." Du Boyi said: "I don't know the third prince of the Yulong Dynasty and the Duo Lingjun of the Evil Ghost Sect, who is the trustworthy person?"

"The Helian clan released the fire demon, which violated the original promise, how can we believe it?"

"The Evil Ghost Sect must be a first-class demon cultivator. If we join forces with them, I'm afraid even the statement of the Nine Breath Sect will be polluted!"

"Didn't the Helian clan intend to release the Fire Demon, and the Dragon King was captured by the demon clan, so the Helian clan will suffer the most, right?"

"Lord Duo Ling has the leisurely underworld fire in his hands, and before the fire demon finds the six earth fires, he cannot compete with Lord Duo Ling."

"The Helian clan is not the only one with the third prince, why do we believe that it is the third prince?"

"The origin of Duo Lingjun is a mystery. Maybe it is the vanguard of the demon clan. How can you believe it?"

Because of this problem, the elders quarreled again. This scene happened among the many sects of self-cultivation in Shenzhou, and many people had the same ambition as Zhao He, wanting to get a piece of the chaotic world.

The clouds in the sky were not dyed fiery red, and even the wind was cool and refreshing.

The cloud boat in Zhenbao Pavilion shuttled among the white clouds, as if mocking the blazing flames on the ground.
