Xianmen does not ask about the mundane

This time the clean-up operation was led by the three sects, and the rest of the sects responded. It was the largest clean-up operation in the past 50 years since Mei Fangli's catastrophe.

In previous years, each sect would send a certain number of disciples to suppress the evil cultivators around the sect in the year before each Tianchi Discussion, to prevent them from acting recklessly and disrupting one party during the Tianchi Discussion. More than a month.

The purpose of this clean-up operation is to clear up the remnants of 50 years ago and prevent the recurrence of disasters. It will last for several months. It is absolutely necessary to be careful to completely remove the wings that are rooted in the dark places of the people. And cautious.Therefore, the scope of action has expanded from the surrounding area of ​​the sect to the entire territory of Dayan, which is borne by each sect. The disciples sent by each sect must also be monks who have practiced Taoism for more than five years. Because Qiu Yan has reached the standard, he was also arranged among the traveling disciples. list.

The day before the departure, all the disciples of the Xuanqing Mountain School who were on the travel list held a meeting for the last time. Zhu Lingyu and Qiu Yan had just left the meeting hall when they were stopped by Hu Yuetao.

"Senior brother." Hu Yuetao came forward, it seemed that he had been waiting outside the meeting hall for a long time.

Zhu Lingyu said: "Yue Tao, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's time to leave tomorrow morning, I want to see off the brothers," Hu Yuetao said, looking at Qiu Yan, "I don't know if the brother's injuries are all healed?"

Qiu Yan said: "Well, it's all right now."

"That's good," Hu Yuetao pursed her lips, as if hesitating for something, before asking after a while, "Brothers are away for a few days, did you go to see Senior Sister, how is she doing now?"

Zhu Lingyu sighed secretly, and said: "Being infected with demons, I seem to have sealed myself up. I'm afraid I won't go this time for the suppression operation. I can only stay in Danqiu to cultivate."

"It's all my fault for distracting her that day, otherwise I wouldn't have..." Hu Yuetao said in a lower and lower voice.

Zhu Lingyu reached out and patted her on the shoulder, saying: "The thing has already happened, it's useless to regret and blame yourself, and it's not your fault."

Hu Yuetao was silent for a moment, and asked: "I send disciples, can't they go down the mountain before they enter Taoism?"

Qiu Yan said: "You want to..."

Hu Yuetao said: "I want to accompany her."

"The sect stipulates that uninitiated disciples cannot go down the mountain. Last time, they only needed mortal disciples to follow. Generally, there are no exceptions," Zhu Lingyu said, "If you want to accompany her, you can only work hard. I think she is also very I admit you, if you visit her often, maybe she will get better soon."

"I see," Hu Yuetao said, "I will work hard, and please take care of me during this operation, so that I can return smoothly and safely."

Saying that, he clasped his fists to the two of them and turned around to leave.

Zhu Lingyu looked at her back and sighed: "Yue Tao's practice has just begun, and the future is bright, but the road of Jinyue is already covered with clouds and thorns. I hope she can really recover."

Xianxiu and Xixiu were born in the heaven and earth at the same time, and they have been fighting each other openly and secretly for thousands of years.In the period of melee in the past, evil cultivators were the masters of the world, holding the right to life and death.But as the situation in the world stabilizes, the immortal cultivators have gradually grown and formed a stable system, while the evil cultivators have become a mess and can only live in secret.

They either devour the spiritual energy of people, causing them to become weak and sick; they design murders to absorb the grievances of those who died unjustly;They mixed into the crowd in the market in the appearance of ordinary people. They looked like ordinary people, but they did all kinds of evil things in the world behind their backs.

Their original purpose of becoming evil cultivators is different, maybe they desire power, maybe they seek excitement, maybe they are naturally fond of killing, or maybe they are forced to survive.But after being affected by resentment for a long time, almost all evil cultivators will lose their heart and have only one goal, which is to constantly devour and strengthen themselves.Aggression is an instinct engraved in their bones.

The purpose of this operation is to take off the human skin masks of these evil cultivators, dig them out of the darkness and uproot them.Where there are more people, there are more right and wrong, and places with more right and wrong will breed grievances faster, and it is easier to attract a large number of evil cultivators, so the focus of the clean-up campaign is on the more prosperous cities.

These people usually suppress the grievances on their bodies and hide themselves very well. If they want to catch their fox tails, they have to lurk for a while.And they need to clean up all the evil cultivators hidden in the city before they can launch a siege at the same time. Otherwise, if there is a slight disturbance, other evil cultivators will quickly move around and hide, and the effect of this action will be greatly reduced.Therefore, the heads of the various sects agreed during the discussion that the incubation period was uniformly set at four months, and when the four-month period came, all disciples began to clean up the evil cultivators one by one at the same time.

Zhu Lingyu and Qiu Yan walked side by side on the long street, surrounded by heavy traffic and people coming and going. At first glance, it looked like a peaceful and prosperous world, but in their eyes, it was filthy and dark.

The two have been lurking in Xijing for more than three months. During these three months, their team has thoroughly explored the entire city, big and small, famous families, anecdotes and strange things, and they couldn't be more aware of the stench under this gorgeous skin.Zhu Lingyu watched a smiling rice business owner pass by, and felt a chill in his heart.Who would have thought that this seemingly benevolent rice merchant boss was actually a beast in clothes who secretly colluded with evil cultivators and slaughtered competing merchants?

"In the past in Xuanqing Mountain, I really closed my eyes and listened. I never thought that the world would be so filthy." Zhu Lingyou whispered.

"This is the case for everything that involves interests, and it's even worse in the officialdom." Qiu Yan said.

"I'm really glad you escaped from the place of right and wrong, otherwise, in such an environment, in order to survive, you may not know what will happen."

"Brother, I don't know how many times I have said this in the past few days," Qiu Yan said helplessly, "But I didn't expect that the evil cultivators had penetrated the people so thoroughly. There are evil cultivating activities."

"It's still a group of people who have a certain status in various fields." Zhu Lingyu said, "In the past, evil cultivators and ordinary people only had the relationship between the victim and the victim, and evil cultivators were also a group of people who only wanted to devour themselves and strengthen themselves. Now In the eyes of ambitious and powerful people, evil cultivators have turned into a different kind of killer, and they can even become evil cultivators themselves to pave the way for themselves. This group of people really use everything to achieve their goals."

Qiu Yan said: "It's just that the folks are already like this, so what about the court?"

Zhu Lingyu said: "You are worried..."

Qiu Yandao: "If evil cultivators infiltrate the imperial court, will they be affecting the structure of the entire country just like Mei Fangli was back then? I said earlier that even if that person found the place where the resentment was sealed back then, and got that resentment, No matter how high his cultivation level is, he can't fight against the entire Xianmen, but what if history repeats itself?"

Zhu Lingyu said: "But you also said before that now the country is stable and there are no sharp conflicts among the societies. The only contradiction is that there is still a little gap between the survivors of South Vietnam and the old people of Beiyan. He wants to make a fuss about the restoration of the country?"

Qiu Yan thought about it and said: "Probably not. When I left four years ago, there were indeed many civil servants in the court who were South Vietnamese adherents, and my teacher even held a high position and was regarded as a national teacher. But once I leave, I will inherit the throne in the future It must be my imperial brother Chunyuye. Chunyuye's mother and concubine Youshi is the daughter of a South Vietnamese adherent, and he has half of South Vietnamese blood, so there is absolutely no need for those people to think about restoring the country."

Zhu Lingyu asked again: "What about the rebellion by the important officials?"

Qiu Yandao: "Most of the military generals in power in the court have followed Chunyu's royal family since the time of Beiyan, and it is unlikely that they have any intention of treason."

Zhu Lingyu said: "Since that's the case, what else do you have to worry about?"

Qiu Yan frowned, and said: "I don't know either, but seeing these people regard becoming a cultivator as a means of killing without leaving a trace for the sake of profit, I always feel uneasy."

Zhu Lingyu said: "Since they have done such an outrageous thing, they must pay the price. Even if the government can't cure them, there are still us. Isn't this the duty of our immortal cultivators?"

Qiu Yan smiled in relief: "That's true."

"Don't think too much, these people will be punished when the end of the month and April come." Zhu Lingyu patted his head as usual, "By the way, I have some good news for you."

Qiu Yan said: "Well, what good news?"

Zhu Lingyun said: "This morning I received the Fuhe from Yue Tao. She said that she had entered the Tao at the beginning of the month, and decided to go to the Fuyang Sect to find Jinyue."

Qiu Yan couldn't help being relieved when he heard that: "Really? Yue Tao has also entered the Tao. After seeing Yue Tao, Jinyue should be happier too."

Zhu Lingyu said: "Yes, although Jinyue doesn't shy away from it at ordinary times, it is inevitable that there will be inconvenient things to say when facing a group of big men. If Yuetao goes, maybe he will be able to open his heart and come out."

Qiu Yan said with emotion: "This seems to be the first good news in the past six months."

Zhu Lingyu said: "Isn't our investigation going well in the past few months? Things will always get better."

Qiu Yan nodded, and suddenly something attracted his attention as he walked.

"Brother, wait for me here."

After speaking, he disappeared into the crowd in a flash, leaving Zhu Lingyu staring at the direction of his departure in a daze.

"This is something good to see..."

Zhu Lingyu withdrew his hand that was in mid-air, and saw him come back across the crowd shortly after he finished muttering, with a bag of things in his hand.

Qiu Yan stuffed the oiled paper bag in his hand to Zhu Lingyu, and looked at him expectantly.

"For me?" Zhu Lingyu asked.

"Well, open it and have a look."

Zhu Lingyu pulled off the slipknot tied with silk thread, opened the oiled paper bag, and saw a few snow-white pastries inside.

"Dragon Beard Crisp!" Zhu Lingyou looked up at Qiu Yan happily, "How do you know I like this?"

Qiu Yan said with a smile: "Second senior brother told me."

Zhu Lingyu smiled excitedly and said: "Really, the senior brother bought it for me before, and after the senior brother left, I haven't eaten this for several years."

"Try it quickly." Qiu Yan urged.

Zhu Lingyou picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth, his mouth was covered with a thin layer of glutinous rice flour, Qiu Yan reached out to help him wipe it off, and asked, "How is it, is it delicious?"

Looking into Qiu Yan's smiling eyes, Zhu Lingyu felt that something touched the softest part of her heart.

Maybe he didn't act like that on impulse that day.

He thought, smiled, and recollected the feeling in his heart.

"It's so sweet."
