Chapter 846: Educational Expedition, the Secret of Joy(2/2)
"You're back!"
Lin Shan walked over with a smile on his face. The State of Lu and the State of Chu bordered each other. He had been in seclusion for so long, so naturally he wanted to come and take a look.
It's good to see that nothing happened to Jiuyao Peak.
Master Huang Xian and Protector Yan are both Nascent Souls. Under their protection, guarding the three-acre land around Jiuyao Peak, there is indeed no great danger under normal circumstances.
Over the years, they have enjoyed human relations, ignored the disturbances from the outside world, and lived a carefree life.
Because of the above-mentioned policies, the subordinates of Kun Cult became less radical and became more conservative, passing through a period of stable development.
Being able to live so peacefully in the chaotic world of demonic cultivation is truly a rare piece of pure land.
However, this has advantages and disadvantages.
First of all, many demonic monks come here just to obtain a large amount of cultivation resources and improve themselves quickly. If you don't expand outwards and stay at home and farm with peace of mind, how can they achieve their goals in the short term?
Therefore, many speculators went down the mountain in despair and abandoned religion.
This is also a common problem among many people in the devil's path. They would rather take high risks to gain high profits!
Dutiful work is a kind of suffering for them.
It doesn't matter if this kind of person leaves, he will slip away sooner or later anyway.
When you were at the height of your power and expanding your territory, they joined in the plundering in order to get a piece of the pie, and they attached themselves to you like hyenas smelling the scent. When you consolidated your territory and shrank your power, they couldn't bear the loneliness and dispersed in a rush.
It corresponds to the two sentences of the teachings engraved on the main hall when the Kun Sect was first established.
"The peak produces false support, and the dusk witnesses the devout believers."
The members of the Demonic Path are highly mobile and come and go. There are many people who just entered the sect on the first day and disappeared the next day!
The advantage is that the purification leaves many disciples who identify with the sect. A large number of native believers trained from scratch begin to occupy the majority, and the cohesion and centripetal force are greatly enhanced.
Master Huang Xian smiled and pulled Linshan to sit down. Protector Yan poured tea for him. Luan Chun stood directly behind him and patted his shoulders, smiling happily.
Lin Shan enjoyed the long-lost warmth, squinting and sitting comfortably under the mottled sunshine in the bamboo forest, listening to the two elders telling stories about the Chu Kingdom over the years.
This may be one of the few moments when he can feel at home after traveling through time.
In a leisurely trance, he discovered that the years had passed without him realizing it.
Master Huang Xian went from being as skinny as a bamboo pole to having a big belly, Yan Yuanchun had silver hair for some reason, and even Luan Chun was no longer young, with a more mature and plump charm.
Vaguely, the little girl back then has also entered middle age.
"...There are not many major events in the Chu Kingdom. There are only a few small and medium-sized forces fighting each other every day. The low-level monks are like leeks, growing one after another, endlessly...Huh? Are you distracted? Are you listening?"
"Huh? Hahahaha...I'm listening."
Lin Shan came to his senses, laughed, smiled sheepishly, and motioned to the other party to continue.
"You~"
Master Huang Xian laughed and cursed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, holding it by his belly, unkempt and ignoring the dripping of tea on his beard.
Protector Yan next to him picked up the yellowed rag on the table and wiped it with him. He didn't hide, and kept talking about the recent past.
"The top sects in Chu State have been undergoing frequent changes in the past two years, especially Xu Shen Mountain and Hell Demon Palace. They have gathered a large group of demon sects and divided them into two factions. They invited me back and forth, saying that they wanted to come together to discuss what would happen if they went south.
Dragon River Treasure Hunt..."
"oh?"
Lin Shan was thoughtful. It seemed that the senior officials of the surrounding countries had similar ideas. They took advantage of this gap to find opportunities.
"To be honest, I have lived a long time, and I have long lost interest in treasure hunting!"
"So you didn't go?"
"I went, and no one from the two families was left behind!"
"..."
Lin Shan had a meal.
Seeing him hesitate to speak, Master Huang Xian naturally shook his head.
"They threatened me that if I didn't go, they would join forces to bulldoze Jiuyao Peak. Do I dare not to go?"
"In the end, in front of the two major forces, I signed a bunch of agreements not to steal property behind my back, and then I was let go."
"Otherwise, how can they go out hunting for treasures in peace?"
Lin Shan looked at Master Huang Xian's look of being cut into pieces, and realized that this guy was truly a 'hard-core softie'. However, this was just in line with the current situation, and it was actually similar to what he had experienced in the Lu Kingdom.
"Indeed, there are too many people focused on the Yulong River. Without the intervention of the Holy Land, it is actually more dangerous. It is best not to go and stay at home."
Master Huang Xian saw that he was in a hurry and asked a question.
"Are you going to go?"
"I won't go either."
Lin Shan briefly explained his thoughts, especially when he heard that he was going to the Piluo Desert, Huang Xianshi couldn't sit still!
He quickly advised him not to be impulsive!
"Boy Lin, the Piluo Desert is not as simple as you think. The politics and religion there are integrated and have been managed by the Huanxi Cult for a long time. The sect's informants are everywhere. Once something big happens, it won't take long to spread throughout the desert!
You have to think about it before you go!"
"I've made up my mind, don't worry, I'll take the Lingbao Cave with me on this trip. If I take a shot and change places, there won't be any danger."
Lin Shan knew that Master Huang Xian had been there and happened to come to him to learn from him.
Yan Yuanchun next to him was also worried, but instead of persuading him to stay, he shook Huang Xianshi.
"Old Huang, tell this kid everything you know, so that he can avoid making some detours."
Master Huang Xian stroked his beard and began to fall into memories.
From the time when I followed the large army to hunt down the Jinglian layman, all the way to the Piluo Desert, the whole process was basically a fight, a fight, a fight.
There is nothing special about other places, except for the Piluo Desert, where the forces of the Huanxi Cult are spread all over the place, dotted all over the place, and are all-pervasive, tracking them all the way!
When they first started chasing, the bald donkeys had not participated. It was not until the Black Lotus Sect attacked Jinglian and seriously injured him that the two cults actually joined forces to search the entire desert for Jinglian's whereabouts!
Chapter completed!
