In today's world of cultivating immortals, there are four recognized supreme beings.
Li Buyu, the head of the Wuliang Sect, Xu Zhinan, the head of the Pure Yang Sect, Qi Mengsheng, the head of the Cangyu Sect, and Zhong Kui, the military judge of the Underworld, were originally in terms of seniority, power, and status. It is difficult to judge whether he is superior or inferior to those who have not practiced martial arts before. It was not until he obtained the magical treasure of the Eastern Emperor Bell that he was honored as "the number one man in the world".
In addition, the first three have all experienced the era of Emperor Zong, and the Wuliang faction was even married to the Zong family. The current heads of these centuries-old immortal families are all survivors of Mozun Zongzixiao's subordinates. Moxiu and Zongxuan's swordsmanship are all secretive. No matter how uninhibited Zhong Kui was, when he learned that his apprentice had used the Zongxuan sword technique, he had no choice but to take someone to Yunxi to explain it himself.
It was only after Jie Bian noticed the serious atmosphere that he understood the main purpose of this trip.
Although Li Buyu is already gorgeous and pale, but his body is not old-fashioned, he still has a pine-shaped crane bone, and he is full of fairy air. The position of the leader of the fairy alliance that this person sits is actually equivalent to that of the Zongtianzi back then, but the fairy families no longer have to be female and do not have to pay taxes and tribute. The position of the leader of the alliance is not hereditary. Come to the century-old peace in the world of cultivating immortals.
This birthday, except for Zhong Kui, every family sent juniors to bring birthday presents. When Li Buyu sat on the main seat, the juniors bowed and saluted one after another, and sat down only after receiving permission.
Li Buyu's gray-brown eyes swept towards Zhong Kui: "Zhengnan, you slept well last night." His tone was calm, even a little gentle, but there was a sense of majesty.
Zhong Kui smiled and said, "If you drink well, you can sleep well. Thank you for the fine wine, leader."
"Where's your apprentice? I heard that Wuchang was unwell yesterday."
Xie Bian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, the younger generation is fine."
Zhong Kui wondered: "What's wrong with you, why are you feeling unwell?"
Xie Bian whispered: "It's just a little cold, it's already gone."
Li Buyu's eyes fell on Fan Wuxi again.
Fan Wuxi also looked at Li Buyu quietly, and sneered in his heart, he is already so old.
"Oh, this is my new apprentice." Zhong Kui said, "From now on, the job of impermanence will be taken by my two apprentices."
Lan Chuihan smiled and said, "One black and one white? Wonderful."
Li Buyu said: "Zhengnan, you two apprentices not only have excellent bones, but also have a refined appearance. They are the qualifications that all the immortal families are vying for. Where did you find them?"
Zhong Kui grinned: "I picked it up."
Everyone also laughed, the words were not really interesting, but Zhong Kui was obviously avoiding the important and taking the light, who didn't want to sell the face of the celestial master.
Li Buyu also smiled faintly: "I heard from Chungui that you have some misunderstandings in Fumenghui."
Song Chungui said: "Master, it was my disciple who was at fault first. In order to investigate the murder of senior brother Meng, my disciple wanted to bring these two young masters back to Yunxi for questioning in Fumenghui. Immortal."
Before Xie Bian had time to prepare the steps for Song Chungui, Fan Wuxi said bluntly: "It is indeed your fault, you did it first."
Lan Chuihan suppressed a smile, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Song Chun returned to the sun. Even the head elders of various sects would give him three points of courtesy when they met him. The first time this kid took a broken sword, he dared to say that he would kill him. This time his arrogance was even more arrogant, but he was helpless: "Little Immortal of Impermanence What you said is right, I did it first." He nodded at Zhong Kui, "Don't blame the Heavenly Master."
Zhong Kui crossed his legs and said with a ruffian smile: "It's okay, my little apprentice doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, you help me teach him a lesson, I should thank you."
Li Buyu said: "Chungui, since you made the move first, then you are not, and apologize to the two little fairies."
Song Chungui was not hypocritical, and simply apologized.
Xie Bian also bowed: "It's all a misunderstanding, we are also wrong, the real person has broken us."
"It's just a misunderstanding, just explain it clearly." Li Buyu looked at Zhong Kui pointingly.
Zhong Kui cleared his throat: "This time I went to Yunxi, there is one important matter that needs to be explained in person. Before Wuxi accepted me as his teacher, he studied under a loose cultivator in Qingcheng Mountain. After disclosing his name and origin, now that he has traveled all over the world, Wu Xi doesn’t know that he is practicing the Zongxuan Sword, this is what Chungui can tell.”
"Oh?" Li Buyu said, "Where is Qingcheng Mountain? What are the characteristics of that expert?"
Just as Fan Wushi was about to open his mouth, Li Buyu said again: "Chungui, you should get to know him in detail, go to Mount Qingcheng yourself, and be sure to find that loose cultivator, no matter where he is in Kyushu."
Zhong Kui lowered his head and took a sip of tea without making a sound.
Xie Bian secretly glanced at his master, then at his younger brother, thinking that this matter was more serious than he imagined.
Li Buyu said slowly: "Zhengnan, don't think I'm making a fuss out of a molehill, and it's not that I don't trust your disciple, it's a big matter, don't be hasty, no matter who the casual cultivator is, you must find him out and ask him clearly , so as to avoid future troubles."
Zhong Kui said: "I understand the leader's worries, so let's investigate. I also want to know who is the master."
Fan Wuxi raised his chin and looked at Li Buyu: "Is the Immortal Venerable so afraid of Zong Xuanjian?"
Li Buyu narrowed his eyes.
Xie Bian shrank his neck, why can't he always look down on this fearless junior.
Zhong Kui looked at his little apprentice with great interest.
Li Buyu glanced at Fan Wuxi: "You are young, don't you know the origin of Zong Xuanjian?"
"With Zongxuan's swordsmanship, not everyone can become a Zongzixiao."
There was an uproar in the house.
Li Buyu's gaze sank, and the atmosphere also condensed.
An elder of the Wuliang sect said: "Little Immortal Lord Wuchang, is this a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, or self-restraint as an apprentice of a celestial master, unscrupulous."
Fan Wuxi sneered: "Don't dare to be self-sufficient, but it's not like you are afraid of a ghost who has been dead for a hundred years, so afraid that you dare not even mention his name."
Zhong Kui laughed loudly and said, "That's right, that Zongzixiao served a hundred years in the Infernal Hell, and then reincarnated in the hell realm. He will suffer from karma forever and never be able to escape. Why should he be so afraid."
"Relying on human pills to increase his cultivation base, Mo Zun broke through the ninth heaven of Zongxuan Sword, and obtained two divine treasures, the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map and the Xuanyuan Tianji Talisman." Li Buyu said lightly, "None of these came down with Zongzixiao. Hell. The strong wind blows from the end of Qingping, we should take precautions before it happens."
Song Chungui said: "Our juniors have only heard the legends about that Demon Lord, but Master has personally experienced the darkest era in the world of cultivating immortals. The Human Pill and Zongxuan Sword may create a second Demon Lord. You can't be too cautious."
Fan Wuxi sneered secretly.
"Yes, you can't be too cautious." Everyone echoed.
Zhong Kui laughed and said, "Then investigate, there is no deterrence."
"exist."
"You cooperate well."
"yes."
"Even if it was just a misunderstanding, it should be explained clearly." Li Buyu said, "Zhengnan's visit this time should be more than that. Do you know anything about Kefei?"
"I'll talk to the leader in private."
Li Buyu nodded and sighed, "Because of Ke Fei's incident, my junior brother fell seriously ill, and everyone in the Wuliang Sect was panicked, but now there is no clue at all."
"Master, your health is also not healthy, and you have to entertain guests tonight, so go back and rest."
"Well, it's not that I heard that you competed with Mr. Lan, so I wanted to take a look."
Lan Chuihan said: "You're showing your ugliness."
"Although the Yueyue Pavilion is a new sect, with you as a rising star, the future is limitless."
"The Immortal Venerable has won the award." Lan Chuihan smiled, "The Wuliang Sect has Brother Song, and there are even more successors."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the elders and disciples of the Wuliang Sect present were slightly subtle.
Lan Chuihan was born with a delicate heart, he never made a mistake when to say something, Xie Bian saw him talking and laughing at Yan Yan, and knew that he was doing it on purpose.
Xie Bi'an thought for a while, and then understood the deep meaning of these words.
Li Buyu is old, although it is said that all immortal cultivators live long, but the time limit for living to this age is not far away. Over the years, he has gradually handed over the internal and external affairs of the sect to several disciples, and may also give up the position of head in advance. Among his four disciples, Song Chungui is the youngest and most promising, and he is the most able to carry forward the Wuliangjian. However, he is not as famous as the senior brother, and he is not as close as the second senior brother—that is, the son of Li Buyu. His family background is not as good as the third senior brother. He also has a disability. If he really becomes the sect leader, he may even become the leader of the Immortal League one day. I am afraid that the immortals will not accept it.
The battle for the head of the Wuliang Sect has actually become turbulent. This is not only a matter within their sect, but also a competition among the factions of the Immortal Clan.
And Lan Chuihan's words represented the attitude of Xianyue Pavilion. As an upstart, Xianyue Pavilion has not yet had so many intertwined relationships with the Daxianmen family, and is eager to cultivate its own power. Supporting Song Chungui is really mutually beneficial.
After everyone dispersed, Lan Chuihan came to invite him: "Bian, go to my place for a cup of tea, let's catch up on the old days."
"Okay." Xie Bian smiled, "Did Brother Lan receive the painting of Dangshanhe that I sent two months ago?"
"Got it, that one is so well raised by you."
"Such a precious mother plant, I naturally want to cherish it even more."
"When will you come to Jinling, and I will show you new varieties?"
"Great, I'll go when I have time."
Fan Wuxi followed behind them step by step, regardless of whether Lan Chuihan had invited him or not.
The three of them came to Lan Chuihan's residence, and Lan Chuihan's attendant made tea.
Lan Chuihan said: "This is the newly harvested Dragon Well this year. I asked someone to fetch the water from the Yuanyang Pool. Didn't you say that the water from the Yuanyang Pool is especially fragrant for cooking tea?"
"Yeah, people in the world only say that Yuanyang Pond can invigorate blood and replenish qi, and improve cultivation. I think drinking it will also improve the same. One year I came to Shushan with Yujian, and I used it to cook tea and rice. I brought some natural ingredients with me. It's sweet and tastes great. Actually, I want to try using it to water flowers, but unfortunately I can't take too much." When Xie Bian talked about the things he was interested in, his eyebrows and eyes were flying, and his smile was shining brightly.
Lan Chuihan looked at Xie Bian with a smile, his eyes were gentle and bewitching, no wonder since the Flood Dragon Society became a blockbuster, countless female cultivators in the world of cultivating immortals were fascinated by him.
Fan Wuxi lowered his head and sipped his tea to hide his annoyance.
"Brother Lan, what have you been up to lately?"
Lan Chuihan blinked and said with a teasing smile, "I'm busy cultivating new orchids for you."
With a "click", Fan Wuxi crushed the teacup in his hand.
