Daozu is Cthulhu

Chapter 246 Penglai
Li Fan followed the direction of the fish school and went straight to Penglai Mountain.

Although his Taisu Dao body cultivation base has greatly improved, but he is not crazy enough to think that he can single-handedly learn the authenticity of Taoism.In particular, Penglai is one of the nine sects this year, that is to say, there is at least one sect master who has not retreated and is in an online standby state to guard the sect.

Isn't Tai Sui asking for death if he breaks ground on his head?Taking a certain sword sect as an example, if you want to single-handedly destroy the "door" of Xuanmen, then at least the level of Youquan Daozu is enough, right?

So this time Li Fan's main goal is very simple, which is to rescue A Mao and the children of the Huan family.

Although the Xuanmen is overbearing and destroys people everywhere, even Xiangong knows that exterminating the genocide to account for the cause and effect and defeating the character is not acceptable. Probably Penglai will not be exterminated by the Huan family all at once.

Li Fan reckoned that if those children of the Huan family who were kidnapped were found to have nothing to do with the divine religion, they would survive. Of course, it is impossible to let them go like this. Kind of it.Orphans of the Zhao family, after all, there are still a few protagonists who have the kind of great luck to fight against the Jedi, not to mention that there are many enemies from the Taoist sect, and the Huan family is not bad.

Of course, there can also be side missions, such as direct hands, killing the three Yuanying and six golden pills of Huan's family, and the drone also recorded their appearance.Anyway, as long as Li Fan catches it, it can be turned over with a click, which is not too difficult.But the sniper kills in broad daylight, I am afraid that the masters of Penglai will be chased and killed, so we can only see if there is a chance.If it is possible to kill one or two of the Huan family's children under the premise of guaranteeing the rescue of the Huan family's children, it will be just to seek justice.

So he followed the fish all the way to escape, and Li Fan also collected information all the way. He found Fatty Lan through Yuntai Peak, and bought a copy of the information on all the members of the nine great sects so as not to attract attention. It is common sense to pay attention to the detailed introduction of this faction so as not to arouse suspicion.

In addition, Yue Po also took it out for him to inquire about, asking Penglai's heel, what powerful methods or special camp nirvana and so on.In short, intelligence collection in advance must not be sloppy, the more complete the better.

This kind of questioning, piecing together, annoyed the rabbit, and sorted out the piles of battle reports on the other side.So Li Fan also hurried on the road while researching, and roughly clarified the situation of the Penglai lineage.

First a well-known piece of nonsense.Penglai is actually a place name, just like Jiuyin Mountain was usually used to refer to Beichen Jianzong in the past. Later, when Jianzong disappeared, it was called Beichen Jianzong directly.When negotiating with the existing orthodox disciples of Taoism, they often refer to the hermit sect as their masters.

This is out of respect and taboo avoidance, lest the other party take advantage of the issue, find fault and say that you have insulted his teacher and want to kill your head to sacrifice to heaven.One reason is that these blessed lands are usually not exclusive to only one sect. What if the other party is a disciple of another branch and fails to say the correct name, and you will be picked on and said that you insulted the master and wanted to beheaded to sacrifice to heaven? Isn't it annoying?

For example, Beichen Sword Sect also had two Qi Sword Sects back then, Mozhu Mountain also had Lou Guandao, Zhushan Nine Peaks and Moshan Five Sons Peaks.The fairy island in the East Sea of ​​Penglai Mountain is full of immortals and true practitioners, and there are more inheritances of various sects.

And above the East China Sea, there are five fairy mountains, Daiyu, Yuanqiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou, and Penglai. The Zongmen is the leader of the immortal family who is worshiped by all the immortal islands scattered overseas on the Bohai Sea. It can be regarded as the leader who has unified the people in the East China Sea and is worshiped by thousands of immortals.

Today, the leader of the East China Sea also worships Xuannv's Taoist lineage, known as the Taishang Jiuzhen Sect. Not only one sect monopolizes the three fairylands of Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fanghu, but also countless blessed lands and fairy islands in the East China Sea of ​​the Central Plains. Because of Penglai For this mountain, it is also known as the Nine True Sects of Penglai.He is the suzerain of all families and factions in the East China Sea.

Jiuzhenzong is a serious Taoist cultivator, similar to the recruitment and management mechanism of Lou Guandao in Mozhushan. The East China Sea Islands and the three states of Gen, Zhen and Xun will select their disciples and worship under Jiuzhenzong as registered disciples , to express surrender, and only after reaching the Jindan realm and passing strict examinations and selections can one become an inner disciple of the Shangzong.Otherwise, he would be assigned to the Outer Island, be a disciple of the Outer Sect, and obey orders.

Moreover, Penglai is very strict in the management of these casual practitioners under the rule. It is okay to pass on family exercises, but it is not acceptable for casual practitioners to preach!All the disciples had to select the elites from the Jiuzhenzong first, and then select the rest before assigning them to the next sect. It was very domineering.

Local aristocratic families can be responsible for breeding spirit beasts, planting elixir, and mining minerals for Penglai Mountain by enshrining resources in exchange for some external cultivation methods.Looking forward to future generations being able to produce a disciple of the inner sect of Penglai, who will turn into an upper-class family in one fell swoop.

However, casual cultivators like Zhushan Jiufeng could not survive under the rule of Penglai, because all the resource points in the East China Sea belonged to Penglai.You can't trade with each other privately, you have to ask Penglai to distribute them.

Therefore, casual cultivators in the East China Sea will either submit to the soft rule, submit to the rule of Penglai Mountain, and offer resources.Or you will be suppressed and expelled to the open sea to be with monsters.

For example, the two fairy mountains of Daiyu and Yuanqiao gathered the scattered cultivators and heretics of the East China Sea who were suppressed by Penglai, and the monster race and demon species.He was attacked by Penglai disciples year after year.Of course, it doesn't mean that the magic ways of these two mountains are really powerful, and they can fight against Jiuzhenzong. The main reason is that the distance is too far.Unlike the three mountains of Penglai, which are still close to the Central Plains, Daiyu Yuanqiao is already hanging overseas alone, far away in the sky, separated by tens of thousands of miles across oceans.Occasionally organize disciples who are stuck on the border checkpoints to farm monsters, survive a catastrophe, experience a risk, and engage in a wave of team building is okay. If you want to maintain long-term effective rule and take into account the affairs of the three major factions in the Central Plains, then Penglai's manpower is obviously not enough.

Yes, in fact, it is because of the inherent shortcomings of Taoism, there are too few people.Whether it is Penglai or the Nine Great Taoist sects, they all face the same problem as Mozhushan, that is, the territory is already too large, and there are too few core cadres who can be trusted.

The output of one fairy mountain in Penglai alone is actually enough for the inner sect disciples of Taishang Jiuzhenzong to use. What's more, it now occupies three mountains and ten thousand islands, and is also involved in the three kingdoms of Gen Zhenxun.Mozhu Mountain is thinking whether to go south or north, and Penglai Mountain is thinking about going west or going east.

So this time, Zhenguo, which Penglai regarded as its own backyard territory, was suddenly overthrown by the divine religion, which really angered Jiuzheng Palace.And it's not just that the Xiao family is incompetent, but that this group of bastards are not only incompetent, but also face internal fighting!
Yes, another three months have passed, half a year since Taicheng was besieged, and Hou Gu is still alive and kicking!Lord Xiao is still grazing in Taicheng!

It turned out that the [-] Qin King's division gathered before fought with thousands of rebels once, and they were defeated!Believe it or not!

Well, Fatty Lan also made a general analysis, probably because not only Zhen Guozhu, but even the prince of Zhen Guo were also trapped in Taicheng this time.Both of these two people don't know whether they will live or die, and they are in danger, and Zhenzhou is using the clan to guard the local army with the vassal king.So all the reinforcements under the leadership of the kings of the Xiao Clan arrived, and they all had to slow down and watch the fire from the other side.Probably because he wanted to wait for one bad news and two good news to arrive, and it would not be too late to act.So no one is willing to take the lead and compromise their strength.

As a result, when the escaped public officials saw that these vassals had ulterior motives, they also became active and changed their families. Only a few loyal officials saw that the vassals could not count on them, so they joined forces. Liao Hougu lay in ambush, outnumbered and led to a great defeat.So the kings had even more reason to come out of the fortified wall, saying that they wanted to block Lanling, and wait for the rebel army to run out of supplies.

As a result, Hou Gu's side not only did not run out of food and collapsed, but was forced to kill many big households to fill up the granary.On the contrary, to avoid the war, the soldiers and civilians who rushed into Taicheng in a hurry ate up all the food and surrendered out of the city one after another. In addition, more than [-] troops outside Lanling City attacked the grass valley and implemented the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, which caused the people's resentment to boil like hell on earth. , So the people turned to the bandits one after another, so that now the Hougu rebels have gathered [-] people, and began to dig waterways to divert water from the rivers and lakes to flood the city, causing countless casualties among the soldiers and civilians in the city, God knows how long it will last.

But the reinforcements from outside not only did not come out, but also set up a high-level banquet, promoted daily work, poisoned and plundered the people, and insulted the concubine.The reinforcements from all walks of life who continued to come to aid and ask for the distribution of supplies also insulted and abused, solicited provocations, and even fought internally. As a result, the divisions of the kings from all walks of life were suspicious of each other, so that the generals had no fighting spirit and wanted to go home separately.

The Xiao family's unworthy descendants are messing around like this, doesn't it mean that Penglai doesn't care?
Penglai wanted to take care of it, but he didn't have time.Because in the past three months, although the reinforcements from Zhen Guo did nothing, other places have already been overthrown.

There was no accident on Duiguo's side. The Taoist sect broke through the Ten Jue Formation, and the masters of the divine sect were outnumbered. They resisted and lost to the northwest.How can the Nine Great Xuanmen let go of such a good opportunity to slay demons? This group of senior masters also gave full play to the disorganization and discipline handed down from the Beichen Sword Sect era, and followed behind fiercely. where it goes.It's probably not that they don't know that the masters of the divine religion are deliberately sacrificing their lives to lure the enemy, but they just don't care.After all, your Immortal Palace's hundreds of thousands of troops are overwhelming, even hundreds of thousands of pigs, how can you be defeated so easily?

So the Immortal Palace army is also here. When I heard that the masters of the gods in the north were defeated, the situation is very good. I have the advantage.So the generals also felt that they had done it again, expressing the rise and fall of the world, the fairy palace and the country, in this one move, who else but me!They all encouraged to send out troops, fought a battle, and then lost.

...Well, we lost. I don’t know why we lost. Some said that Wen Tianjun came again, and before the reinforcements arrived, he underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, but he was surrounded. Some said that there was a traitor among us. In short The Immortal Palace army fought a battle with the God Sect at Juelongling and lost.

This time, Wen Tianjun's whereabouts are also unknown, Sanyuan has also started a fierce impeachment campaign, Yuntaifeng has blocked the information, and Ye Luzi's operators can't even get specific information.

The battle between Zhen Guo and Kun Guo has now captured the attention of the world, but it doesn't mean that other places will be stable. It's just that the scale of mobilization is not as high as hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, so it's not worth paying attention to.

It can only be said that the only good news is that Lou Guandao's lineage assisted in breaking the Ten Jue Formation. Because the Nangong family rebelled, they did not continue to pursue the Divine Sect.

Maybe Xuanmen Immortal Palace was a little bit afraid of the rise of Black Bamboo Mountain in the past, but looking at other places now, don’t worry about what may become a confidant’s trouble in the future. Crashing is a big help...

Li Fan looked at Fatty Lan's battle report and was speechless for a while.

Do you think there are really stupid people in these three major factions?I'm afraid there really isn't one, after all, stupid people have been wiped out long ago.

It can only be said that the people in the Immortal Palace are greedy for profit, the people in the Xuanmen are ruthless, and the people in the Divine Cult are unscrupulous. They are all ruthless people who will do anything to achieve their goals.I really don't know what kind of wonderful matching mechanism, I put them together...

If Mo Zhushan wants to compete with such a group of extremely intelligent scumbags, I'm afraid it's really a long way to go...

Let's not worry about the world's major events for the time being, Li Fan feels a headache looking at this mess, but it is estimated that the Penglai Jiuzhenzong who is currently in the game is probably also in the same state of distress, so maybe he won't notice the Huan family. His son was rescued, and it was time for him to act recently.

In this way, Gong Gong mixed with the fish and went downstream for several days. Li Fan also sensed the passing of fishing and freight ships nearby by the method of blind observation, and knew that he was probably approaching the territory of Mount Penglai.Then he rolled and turned into a red-haired, golden-eyed, broad-shouldered, long-legged, brown-skinned, muscular man. His appearance was pinched according to the pirates he had seen before.Then he dressed up in disguise, changed into the protective clothing of the God Cult, and deliberately tattooed a red scorpion on his shoulder, holding Huan's speargun, and a fire ax hanging from his waist as a weapon.A brand new disguise is complete.

Li Fan reviewed his previous itinerary in Xun Kingdom by himself. He was a little careless in pretending to be "Li Yaoshi" for the first time. He showed too much of his feet, and he didn't really try to hide them. Yang Sheng and the gray-headed guy could see his Real body.It can only be said that luck is good, those who offended him are all dead, but if they are targeted by the enemy, I am afraid that sooner or later they will encounter trouble like the Huan family.

This time he came to Penglai to make trouble, although Li Fan didn't intend to offend the other party too hard, but he couldn't be sure when fighting, not to mention that he had used Li Yaoshi's face to kill a Penglai master before, and the other party's crane escaped, Yue Po also showed his face.Opposite them were all sinister and ruthless masters from the Taoist sect. Asiba, the divine sect, was already being careful, but he was still chased after him in the end. In order to avoid being plotted against, no amount of caution could be overstated.

So this time, the first layer of his bright face is Nanhai Sanxiu, because the ship regiment destroyed the Sanxiu pirates who escaped alone in the chaotic battle.The second layer of characters is Huan Delang, a survivor of the Golden Scale Palace who came to avenge his family.The person on the third floor is Asibah, the spies of the divine sect, 'Red Scorpion'.In short, if someone is killed, try to mislead the other party in the direction they want to seek revenge for the people in Penglai, and just don't find him on Li Fan's head.

So prepared, Li Fan was also careful to control the water, and approached the nearby islands to inquire about news.

The situation in the East China Sea is different from that in the South China Sea. There are no local wealthy families like Ten Continents and Seven Islets. It is not a paradise where casual cultivators can come and go freely and conduct sea market transactions freely.

The East China Sea only recognizes the Taishang Jiuzhenzong, and the islands in various places are either Penglai’s medicine gardens or Penglai’s mines. Those that fly in the sky, swim in the sea, and everything else belongs to Penglai.

If you don't want to die, don't mess with other people's things. This is the suggestion for getting along with Taoism.

Of course, although Taoism is so domineering, it is not without room for discussion.The simplest and most common way is to recommend yourself and become a vassal elder in the outer sect.

Or else it is difficult for casual cultivators to be crowded out everywhere and not welcome.

Loose cultivators in the golden core state are the most embarrassing, ordinary folk forces look down on them, and powerful big forces cannot enter.Some savvy people can still stand in long queues and squeeze their heads to get into the authentic school of Taoism.And those with poor aptitude can only do tasks in the outer sect, accumulating the prestige of the sect little by little and climbing all the way up.

But no matter how many tasks you do, no matter how much you contribute to the sect, it’s useless. Anyone who has been in a big organization knows that if you don’t have a noble person to recommend you, and you don’t have a network to take care of you, you can’t curry favor with your thighs, and it’s impossible to enter the core. It was treated as a labor force.If it weren't for the fact that the divine religion has done a good job in distinguishing rewards and punishments, and attracted most of the casual practitioners from the Central Plains, perhaps the shortage of Taoist manpower would not be so serious.

However, if casual cultivators can reach the realm of Nascent Soul, then the treatment will be slightly higher, especially for martial cultivators who practice body training, if they seek refuge in the Twelve Kingdoms, they may be able to become a miscellaneous general and go to Xuanmen. At most, he would be a Dharma protector, a more advanced thug.Of course, if no one recommends you, you will probably be excluded from the circle.Even being guarded by spies on the spot is normal.

It's just that we are in troubled times now, and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere. Li Fan reckons that there must be a place for rough warriors in Penglai.He doesn't want to be too high in Penglai, as long as he has a clear identity, he can infiltrate the three islands of Penglai openly, search for the whereabouts of A Mao and the others, and just slip away when they are rescued.

So Li Fan showed the aura of the Nascent Soul Stage of Gonggong Dao Body, and did not rush to the island, but followed the etiquette, and waited for the Golden Core Stage monks stationed on the island to notice it, and flew out to meet him.

Li Fan clasped his fists and shouted at the top of his voice, "A certain Nanhai Loose Cultivator, known as the red-haired ghost Li Tang! I have recently retreated and practiced, and I have made a breakthrough, and I have made great achievements! I heard that the Penglai Xianzong is recruiting people, and I want to recommend myself to join the Xianzong. Work under the door! Please recommend it!"
