Xianmen does not ask about the mundane

Xuanqing Mountain is the largest among the several famous fairy mountains in Dayan, covering a total area of ​​tens of thousands of mu. Ordinary people can also use the power of these vegetation to climb any peak of Xuanqing Mountain at will.

Therefore, although the Xuanqing Mountain faction occupies the two highest peaks of Xuanqing Mountain, it does not have the characteristics of high ground that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. On the contrary, once the restrictions on the two peaks are broken, the Xuanqing Mountain faction will be surrounded and helpless like a turtle in a urn. situation.

This is the reason why the Xuanqing Mountain Sect isolated the ban on another mountain, and the reason why it was so heavily guarded.

But while the disadvantage is so obvious, the relative advantage is also obvious, that is, once the Xuanqing Mountain Sect encounters an accident, the disciples in the sect can evacuate from any direction at any time, and no one can predict the exact location of their departure. The place.

The founder of the Xuanqing Mountain sect, the founder of the sect, had taken this into consideration at the beginning, so he chose to use Xuanqing Mountain as a base to establish his own sect.In the chaotic world, only a place like this that can advance and retreat freely is the safest place.

It's just that no one would have imagined that one day the Xuanqing Mountain Sect would get angry on its own, and had to give up its advantage of flexibility to stick to the sect, falling into a situation of being dragged down by its own geographical location.

Since the two peaks where the Xuanqing Mountain Sect is located extend in all directions, even if the astrolabe circle on the Moon Peak is not destroyed, they cannot detect the specific direction from which the evil cultivators who hide their breath will come, so when guarding the circle, they must Every direction must be considered, but this will inevitably cause the power to be too scattered, resulting in the inability to deal with a large number of evil cultivators and attack one point at the same time.

In order to deal with this situation, Master Yumei ordered all the remaining disciples staying in the sect to be divided into four echelons, setting up a total of three lines of defense for the seal.

The first line of defense is the first echelon composed of monks who have entered Taoism between 50 and 60 years ago, and the second echelon composed of monks between 30 and 40 years old. They are jointly arranged and evenly dispersed in the Xuanqing Mountain School. Seal the location of the two miles of the border.

The first echelon mainly plays the role of vigilance and decision-making.Cultivators who belong to this stage often have both relatively deep cultivation and considerable experience. Even evil cultivators who are so well hidden that they cannot be detected by the astrolabe can still be identified based on experience, and they can be initially judged. Threatening and decisive at the same time.

If it is an individual low-level evil cultivator, he will choose to let the monks of the second echelon who are responsible for the initial interception and delivery of the message take the initiative to repel or destroy them directly.

If it is found that it is a big evil cultivator with a high level of cultivation or multiple evil cultivators appearing at the same time, and the second echelon cannot solve it alone, then decide how much support is needed at most according to its threat, and let the second echelon retreat with the decision message .

The second echelon immediately informs the disciples of the third echelon in the rear to inform them of the position, mainly to delay, avoiding unnecessary losses caused by a direct confrontation with the opponent, and retreating while fighting until they receive the signal to come to support Until the third echelon joins.

The third echelon is composed of monks between 40 and 50 years old. They are on guard within a hundred feet outside the seal and are responsible for supporting the second echelon in time.According to the decision of the first echelon from the second echelon, help them deal with the evil cultivators that cannot be solved alone, or report the location and the specific number of support to the fourth echelon, and delay together with the second echelon Time, waiting for the support of the fourth echelon.

All the rest except the director and elders belonged to the fourth echelon, and stayed on Moonwatching Peak to wait for the news. Once they received the specific location of the evil cultivator's invasion from the disciples of the third echelon, they immediately dispatched according to the news Appropriate numbers of people go to provide precise support, and form the second line of defense with the disciples of the third echelon.

The first two lines of defense are to prevent the external forces of evil cultivators from breaking through the seal, and the last line of defense is set up to protect the seal itself. , they will use the strongest spiritual power of the Xuanqing Mountain Sect to prolong the time for the magic circle to seal the resentment as much as possible. Wait for the support of Fuyang faction, Cangjun faction and other factions to repel all the evil cultivators and seal the resentment again.

All actions are carried out based on the decisions made by the first echelon, which means that the first echelon is the farthest from the Xuanqing Mountain faction among the three lines of defense, and has the largest range of vigilance. The reason for the monks between 50 and 60 years is that the people who can make quick and accurate decisions are needed in this position.

As for all the disciples who have been in Taoism for less than 30 years, they are also arranged for their own places. The shorter the time for those who have been in Taoism, the farther away they are from the Xuanqing Mountain School.

The first point of this arrangement is that evil cultivators with a certain level of cultivation must want to go to Xuanqing Mountain to get a share of the pie, rather than taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble in the local area, and monks with lower cultivation levels may not be able to come in handy.

The second point is that the farther you are from the Xuanqing Mountain Sect, the faster you can get support from other sects, which is safer. Therefore, all the women and children in the sect are led away by monks with lower cultivation levels.Residents in the small town at the foot of Xuanqing Mountain were also evacuated as much as possible.

"Each monk is arranged in a fixed position and range. I am the person responsible for delivering news to the fourth echelon within this range. In this direction, the seal was broken prematurely because of my absence and I failed to deliver the message in time, and even if I die, I cannot escape the blame."

After Xu Wensha informed Zhu Lingyu and Qiu Yan of the detailed layout of the real person Yumei, he said so, then took out a hand-sewn amulet from his bosom and handed it to Zhu Lingyu, and continued: "So far I have I have not received any information about the invasion of evil cultivators. You can continue to walk in this direction with confidence. The second echelon in charge of my position includes my younger brother Xu Jingming. There are many people in each position of their echelon. , maybe he can take you down the mountain, but the specific situation still depends on the current situation ahead. If you show this to him, he will understand."

Zhu Lingyu took the amulet and said gratefully: "Thank you, senior Xu, for your help, but can senior brother alone keep my senior brother from going down the mountain safely?"

"Less than three hours have passed since the appearance of resentment. Even if there are evil cultivators coming to watch the wind, under the usual deterrence of the Xuanqing Mountain Sect, there will be no powerful big evil cultivators within three hours' journey. , my younger brother alone is enough."

Xu Wensha sent a talisman crane forward, and continued: "At least before dark, the vicinity of Xuanqing Mountain should remain relatively calm, but once night falls, it will be a real storm. I just gave me My younger brother issued a seal talisman and He went over to say hello in advance, if you want to leave, you should leave as soon as possible, don't waste time."

Zhu Lingyu nodded when he heard that, put the amulet into his bosom and put it away, and with the help of Xu Wensha, he picked up Chou Yan again. The two thanked Xu Wensha and continued down the mountain in this direction.

With the lesson of being almost attacked as an enemy last time, the two of them learned to behave this time. Before entering the warning range of the first echelon, Zhu Lingyu stopped and asked Qiu Yan to take the lead in sending out an attack. Fu He, asked Xu Jingming to find them by name, lest the other party attack directly and provoke Qiu Yan to get angry and hurt himself.

Although Xu Jingming was entrusted by his elder brother Xu Wensha, it was a special period after all, so he had to be more cautious than usual. He searched for the source of the talisman crane, and stopped when he saw someone ten feet away.

Seeing this, Qiu Yan knowingly reached out and took out Xu Wensha's amulet from Zhu Lingyu's arms and threw it to him. Xu Jingming carefully wrapped the thing with spiritual power before daring to take it. Seeing that it was his brother's amulet, he did so. Finally he let go of his guard and walked over, beckoning the two to follow and go down the mountain together.

As the group of people hurried on their way, Zhu Lingyu asked, "Senior Xu, what's the situation ahead?"

Xu Jingming said: "In the beginning, there were a few little evil cultivators who didn't know how to live or die, and they were all dealt with. During this period of time, no one dared to approach them. It is estimated that powerful figures will not appear until tomorrow at the earliest. I'm not too nervous to send you down the mountain now, I'm afraid it will be different after tonight. By the way, are you going to Fu'an when you go down the mountain?"

Zhu Lingyu said: "Yes, Mei Fangli's sudden attack is to use resentment to provoke a war and repeat what happened in the past. We must stop him before the seal on Xuanqing Mountain is broken."

Xu Jingming said: "Brother told me everything just now, but I have to remind you that some disciples who have been in the sect for less than 30 years are also sent to the direction of Fu'an. They only set off two hours earlier than you. The ordinary people inside the gate do not travel fast. If you go too far in the city, you may meet them soon. Now Mei Fangli's whereabouts have not been determined, and no one knows who he is attached to. You better Don't go through the city, and if you run into someone you know, don't trust him casually, let alone use spiritual power on him casually."

It seems that Zhang Leyu really did what he thought, he was hit by the same trick as him, Qiu Yan thought to himself.

Zhu Lingyu replied: "I see, thank you senior for reminding me."

Xu Jingming said: "I will send you all the way to Tanyi Town, which is at the foot of the mountain, and the road after that is up to you."

Xu Jingming led the way and led the two down the mountain. At first, he was able to talk to the two of them quite easily. After leaving the warning range of the first line of defense, the three of them closed their mouths very tacitly and listened carefully. Surrounded by movements, as expected, several figures were found hiding in the dense forest of Xuanqing Mountain. At this time, only evil cultivators attracted by resentment would appear in Xuanqing Mountain.

As soon as he left the first line of defense, Xu Jingming revealed his aura, using his bright cultivation to intimidate the figure hiding in the dark.These evil cultivators who were used to being suppressed obviously knew how powerful immortal cultivators of this level were. Seeing that the three of them were alone, no one dared to join them.

The three of them left Xuanqing Mountain unimpeded all the way, and not long after, they saw the very familiar Lingshui Lake in Tanyi Town not far away.

It's just that the people who usually go boating on the lake, wash clothes and drink tea by the lake are gone. Those who have the ability to evacuate have already followed the group of monks from the Xuanqing Mountain Sect when they evacuated, and those who were unable to evacuate also hid in the The door of the house was closed.The once vibrant town turned into a lifeless empty city within a few hours.

The three of them could almost see through the scene in front of them what kind of dilapidated scene it would be if this operation failed, but they didn't have time to sigh, they could only look forward and keep running.

However, at the moment when they were about to leave the town, a young woman suddenly opened the door and walked out of a closed door next door.

Xu Jingming felt strange in his heart, why didn't the girl evacuate with the others when she saw that there was no problem with her actions, should she be taken away with her? Delayed major events, or nothing.

Just as he was about to take the lead and skip her, he saw the woman raised her hand without saying a word. The next moment, a strong resentment surged from behind the woman and rushed straight towards the three of them.
