Reborn Enemy

Flowers fall quietly on the steps, and water flows in front of the lonely door.Dongfu does not know the years, how many springs and autumns in the world.

There are poems again:

Sunny and rainy in the morning and clouds in the evening, there is no age in the world of mortals.

Sitting and forgetting that the people in the mountains are not old, but turning around, the sea has already changed.

In July, the fire is flowing, the vegetation is still luxuriant, and the dust and smoke at the foot of Qianyang Mountain are rising. The number of passers-by is increasing day by day.In the distance, there is a green and endless field, most of which are planted with spiritual trees and elixir, and there are several ancestral gardens where mounts such as spirit cranes and golden eagles are fed for rent by passing guests.

Compared with 50 years ago, the outside of Lingxinpai mountain gate is quite different.

The long street is winding, with neat shops and inns on both sides, about hundreds of them in size, and there are many hawkers setting up stalls in front of the stone steps and at the corners.

"Excellent ghost tendon grass, should you take a look at it?"

"My Yanmu here is cheap!"

……

There was an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, including local people and road repairers. Many repairers stopped in front of the booth to pick up medicinal materials and bargain, which was very lively.

"Let me tell you, Xuanmingji is full of people, so it's not as clean as Lingxinji, and things are cheap."

"Haha, that's right, I'll buy some powerful pills first."

"I'm afraid things will be more expensive when we get to Yunya, so I'll buy some as well."

"It's only this time in a thousand years, and you and I won't live to discuss the Dao next time, so we have to open our eyes no matter what."

……

The millennium event is approaching, and practitioners from all walks of life rushed to Yunya.

In the Lingxin School, the Moyun Terrace was towering, and a few people stood on the platform, looking at the lively scene down the mountain.

"The time for discussing Dao is just around the corner, and the Xuanming Sect has already set off. My master asked the Lingxin Sect what plans it has?" In the past 50 years, Yan Feixiu has not changed much. Although she was married to Chen Qian, she still practiced the Xuanming sect's exercises according to the rules, and she was stuck in the ninth level of the outer alchemy of qi transformation for many years.Chen Qian's cultivation was not as good as hers at first, but thanks to the new exercises, he broke through several small realms one after another, and now he is also in the ninth level of qi transformation. However, how many people have been trapped to death by the step of forming inner alchemy, no one can say for sure Can they get over this hurdle in this life?

"Master hasn't left the customs yet." Wan Lai shook his folding fan and sighed. Over the years, he has actually lost a lot of weight, his face is still a little round, and he looks very gratifying. His brows and eyes are not handsome, but he is very energetic, and his speech and behavior still have some dandyism. , Occasionally, I can't help but show it.

Chen Qian always saw that he was not pleasing to the eye, frowned and said: "Discussion on Dao is just fame, since the head of the sect has not left the customs, it is fine not to go."

"This is a grand event that is rarely seen in a thousand years..." Wan Lai coughed twice quickly after being stared at by Chen Qian, and said sternly, "What the master said is true, but everyone is going, and if our spirit heart doesn't send us, it will be a shame." People underestimate him, senior brother, don’t you think so?” He covered his face with a folding fan and blinked at Gan Li repeatedly.

Chen Qian reprimanded: "What underestimation, you want to go!"

"Look at you, and scold him for what to do. I think Xiaowan is very good," Yan Feixiu said hastily, "It stands to reason that such important matters should be decided by the junior brother in charge, but it was hard for him to successfully form the inner alchemy and consolidate the inner alchemy." Realm is important, so we don't want to disturb him, since he entrusted the Spirit Heart Sect to Nephew Gan, Nephew Gan decided to do it."

When mentioning Gu Pinglin's cultivation, Chen Qian remained silent.

For the past 50 years, Gu Pinglin has spent most of the time in retreat, handing over most of the affairs of the sect to Gan Li. scale.And since Chen Qian and Yan Feixiu became Taoist couples, the Xuanming Sect took care of them, and the Lingxin Sect grew rapidly. Since the introduction of the new exercise, there are as many as 21 disciples of Jie Wai Dan, and since Bu Shuihan and another The Taoist governor named Jiang Wu formed the inner alchemy, and the status of the Lingxin School in the cultivation world has risen even more, and it has faintly become a big school.

On the contrary, it is Gu Pinglin, the authentic head, who just successfully stepped into the inner alchemy last year, which is embarrassing.

It is well known to the outside world that eight years ago, Gu Pinglin failed to form an alchemy. The Lingxin faction sought medicine everywhere, and finally found Lingshi milk, which allowed him to restore his innate aptitude. He tried to break through the realm again last year. The process was very dangerous, but fortunately In the end, he succeeded, and then he continued to retreat to consolidate his realm, and he has not yet come out.

"In that case," Gan Li opened his mouth and made a decision, "wait for another two days, if Master has not left the customs, please ask Master Chen, Master Bu, and Master Jiang to go on behalf of the Lingxin Sect, and I will arrange the entourage."

Chen Qian thought for a while: "Forget it, you don't need too many people."

Ignoring Wan Lai's wink, Gan Li smiled: "It's a rare opportunity, let them go out to see the world more, we might as well go back to the hall first, and invite a few elders to come over and discuss slowly."

The Lingxin Square is twice the size of the old year, and it is even more magnificent. A wide main road in the middle divides the square into two halves. There are many disciples on the left and right who are practicing swords, forming formations, and meditating. Seeing four people coming, the disciples flocked Put away the sword, line up to the side of the road, and salute and greet.The four walked straight through the square along the main road, walked up the steps, and reached the entrance of the main hall.

In the main hall, a person was sitting in front of the case, looking down at the volume.

Everyone was stunned for a long time before they realized it, and they were extremely pleasantly surprised.

"Junior Sect Leader!"

"Master!"

……

The man raised his face.

The handsome face is more defined than before, but it is slightly thinner, with a full forehead, temples cut like knives, high eyebrows, and restrained eyes. He is wearing a daily white Taoist robe, and his long hair is still tied high with a silver crown, meticulously.

"Master!" Wan Lai respected him the most, immediately smiled and rushed to the case, "When did you come out!"

Gu Pinglin didn't blame him for being rude, and waved his hand to signal him to stand aside.

Gan Li restrained his excitement, walked quickly into the hall, knelt down and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to Master!"

Gu Pinglin stood up, walked around the desk and walked in front of him, and supported him with one hand: "Get up, I have worked hard for you these years, and I have delayed you."

Gan Li is now in the [-]th level of Waidan Qi Transformation, as the acting head, he has a lot of things to do, so naturally he can't concentrate on cultivation, he bowed his head and said: "It's a disciple's duty to share the master's worries, so why bother? The disciple is young, and he does not act well, it all depends on the guidance of the masters and uncles..."

"Okay, I don't like that about you," Chen Qian interrupted him and walked in, "Let's just say it first, I didn't tell you anything."

Yan Feixiu said: "The younger generation is humble, who is like you!"

Chen Qiandao: "My own people, what's the use of being polite!"

"Junior Nephew Gan is acting as the head of the sect. Naturally, he should be courteous when socializing outside." Yan Feixiu pushed him aside rudely, "What do you know!"

Chen Qian pointed at her angrily: "Yan Daxiu! Let me tell you..."

"You sit down and don't say anything," Yan Feixiu pressed him on the chair, turned to Gu Pinglin and smiled, "Master Master, this time Yunya discusses Daoism, shall we go?"

Gu Pinglin originally counted the days to come out, and heard the words: "Naturally."

Yunya's discussion of Taoism is a grand event in the cultivation world, and everyone is paying attention. Although the Lingxin Sect already has three inner alchemy masters and the number of new disciples is increasing year by year, the rise time is too short, and the background is not as good as that of the big sect. Resources, it is very necessary to win a seat in the discussion meeting.

"I don't want to join in this kind of excitement," Chen Qian sat down impatiently, "I want to comprehend the mystery of breaking the realm recently, so I will stay and watch the door, you all go."

Gu Pinglin smiled.How could Chen Qian not want to go to the millennium event, but he thought that Bu Shuihan had the highest cultivation level, so he should participate. Despite the limitations of his aptitude, his life would be difficult, and he might not be able to survive to the next Dao meeting after a thousand years, so he took the opportunity Let it out.

"Take me?" Wan Lai begged, "My cultivation is not bad." Xinpai, he has become promising instead, and now he has formed the outer alchemy, even surpassing Ganli, and he is already at the fifth level of qi transformation.

His aptitude is not very good, Gu Pinglin took him under the door purely because of his character, he didn't expect such a surprise, and he didn't answer him immediately after hearing the words, he ordered Gan Li: "Use Zhao Yunzhong to invite the elders and the others to come over. Discuss the matter of Yunya's discussion."

Gan Li responded, went out in a hurry, and ordered someone to ring the Zhaoyun bell.

Gu Pinglin sat down before returning to the case, and asked: "Last time I formed a new alchemy, and my state was not stable. I didn't have time to ask more questions. What major events have happened in the past two years?"

"There are really a few of them," Wan Lai closed the folding fan and thrust it into his waist, and poured him a cup of tea. "The first one is from the Demon Realm. Didn't a Wanfa Gate pop up a few years ago? They made a sudden attack last year, and the co-owner of the Demon Realm Master Wei Feng suffered a big loss and was injured a little bit, and now the two sides are fighting fiercely."

It's time for Wanfamen to rise.Gu Pinglin understood in his heart, nodded and said, "What about the second one?"

"The second one is from our side," Wan Lai said seriously, "Zixiao Palace has been wiped out."

"Huh? How could this be?" Gu Pinglin was a little surprised.Zixiao Palace is one of the Eight Great Sects, its strength is not weak, so it is inconceivable that it was wiped out in a short period of time.To destroy Zixiao Palace, not one sect can do it, and the rest of the forces let it go, which shows that they have legitimate reasons.

Chen Qiandao: "They colluded with Moyu Wei Fengshi in an attempt to subvert the righteous way. The evidence is conclusive. Almost all sects in the Northern Xiu world have intervened. Xuanming Sect also sent two masters there."

"We didn't believe it at first," Yan Feixiu sighed, a little sad, "The one who got the evidence was your old friend, the owner of Penglai South Island."

Gu Pinglin pondered: "Nanzhu?"

Wan Lai explained: "The Lord of the South Island killed Liu Yugong, and with the help of Shunshigong and Pingcanggong, Penglai Island is now the overlord of the East China Sea. Because of this report, he has gained a firm foothold in the land realm. , there are several Penglai pavilions in the southern border, and he also occupied a hilltop on the site of the original Zixiao Palace and set up a small palace."

Gu Pinglin frowned tightly, and took the teacup.

In this life, Nanzhu did not target the Lingxin faction, but chose to attack Zixiao Palace. Could it be that in his previous life, he dealt with the Lingxin faction not only for revenge, but for the intention of the people behind the scenes?This matter is strange, and it seems that there is an inside story.

"One more thing, I don't know if it's a big deal or not," Wan Lai reopened the folding fan to fan him, and said with a smile, "A new sect popped up in the Blood Moon Miasma Valley overnight, called Sword King Pavilion."

Sword King Pavilion?Never heard of it in the previous life.Gu Pinglin paused for a while, then sneered for a while: "There is really no one in the way of swordsmanship. Now that he knows some swordsmanship, he dares to call himself the king of swords."

The crowd was silent.

Gu Pinglin's face softened again, and he put down his teacup: "However, if you dare to form a faction in the Blood Moon Miasma Valley, I think the master of the Sword King Pavilion has some skills."

Blood Moon Miasma Valley is located at the boundary between the world of cultivation and the realm of demons, with a radius of thousands of miles. Miasma is everywhere, and there are countless poisonous insects and beasts. Ordinary cultivators need to take poison-avoiding pills when they get close. Only demon cultivators who refine poison or those who need materials will take risks. go in.

Wan Lai secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Master is right. This Sword King Pavilion is actually more like an organization. They take care of all kinds of business, or escort property, or escort people, or inquire about news. It is said that as long as they are willing to give money, they will send you a You can enter the Demon Realm, if you fail, they will pay double the money."

Gu Pinglin said: "It sounds very well-behaved, but it's hard to say it's decent if you can enter and exit the Demon Realm at will."

Wan Lai hurriedly said: "It's just a rumor. I haven't heard of anyone who really went to the Demon Realm. I think it's just bragging. They just came out not long ago, and their reputation is still not good. Most of the business they are currently undertaking is from the blood moon. Whoever wants to enter the valley , as long as you hire someone to escort them, you will be safe."

Gu Pinglin said: "Few people go to the Blood Moon Miasma Valley. Those who dare to go usually have some strength. Presumably their business is bleak."

Wan Lai clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Master guessed wrong this time. The Blood Moon Miasma Valley has been very unsettled in recent years, with poisonous insect swarms and miasmas from time to time. Last month when Lu's people went in, they happened to encounter an insect swarm and dispatched two pills. Master Daxiu had no choice but to ask Sword King Pavilion to help, unfortunately there are only a few piles of bones left... Sword King Pavilion is very kind, and specially reduced [-]% of the employment fee as a token of condolence."

"In recent years, it has been very uneven, so it is necessary to invite the Sword King Pavilion?" Gu Pinglin laughed twice, "So, they are really kind."

Wan Lai lost his mind for a moment: "No, they are just a little secretive. I heard that they will change their appearance and never say much to customers, otherwise I would like to see and see."

Chen Qian suddenly asked: "How do you know this?"

Wan Lai immediately looked around: "I heard about it."

Chen Qian slapped the armrest of the chair angrily: "You went to Haishi to buy news again! Did you spend your brother's money again!"

"It's my own money!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Wan Lai tapped his head with a fan, "Oh, that's right! The owner of the Sword King Pavilion is even more mysterious, no one has ever seen him..."

Chen Qianwai wanted to scold again, but Gu Pinglin stopped him: "Brother Bu."

Bu Shuihan strode into the gate of the palace, with a handsome appearance and a high-spirited posture, which still did not diminish his youthful spirit. When he saw Gu Pinglin, his eyes lit up, but he hesitated to speak, and bowed his head in a salute: "See the master."

In the past few decades, Gu Pinglin spent most of his time in retreat, and he often went out for training or retreat. The two rarely saw each other, and on the contrary, they were much stranger than in previous lives.

Gu Pinglin signaled: "Brother, there is no need to be polite, please sit down."

Bu Shuihan sat down uncomfortably and remained silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Yan Feixiu hurriedly smiled and said: "The head of the sect has just left the customs, and he specially called us here to discuss about Yunya's discussion of Daoism. Junior Brother Bu must have guessed it."

Bu Shuihan said "hmm".

Yan Feixiu led the crowd to gossip for a while, then several elders, governors, and stewards arrived, and everyone began to discuss matters.Jiang Ruoxu, the mentor of the door, knew that he was not qualified enough, and he would not benefit much from listening to the Tao, so he simply did not join in the fun. The guardian Leng Xu was about to break through the ninth level of energy transformation, and he had already retreated the year before last. Chang Jinxin and Chen Qian also insisted on staying, Gu Pinglin finally decided to take Bu Shuihan, Ren Ping, Yan Feixiu, the governor Jiang Wu and several elders to Yunya, accompanied by more than [-] disciples, including Gan Li and Wan Lai.
