Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 515 Secret
Even though the world is constantly changing, the Sichuan Sword Pavilion remains as it always was, standing quietly on the top of the mountains.

The peaks and ridges are like blades, reaching straight into the sky.The mountain road is as rugged as a ribbon.The clouds and mist that surround the mountains are like an invisible barrier, cutting off the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

This is undoubtedly the most ideal place for spiritual cultivation in the world.

But Su Xiao, the new master of Jiange, was not at all calm.

He felt like he was in a gloomy quagmire, surrounded by fog and it was difficult to find his direction.

Gu Xu, a young genius who once climbed Mount Laoshan with him, became a rebel leader who was extremely troublesome to the Qi court.

The master he respected the most suddenly left the sect without a word and followed Gu Xu to rebel; leaving him only a letter and the heavy burden of Jiange.

Su Xiao became the helmsman of one of the three major sects in Dahuang at a young age.It seems that he is in a high position and attracts much attention, but in fact he is trapped in the cracks and walking on thin ice.

For Xu Man's direct disciples like him, the Daqi court seemed to be particularly tolerant - while labeling Xu Man a treasonous traitor, it did not implicate the crime on them, but showed a faint attitude of coaxing them. It provides Jiange with more cultivation resources than before.

But Su Xiao knew very well that the benefits of Da Qi's court were not in vain.

He always felt that there was a pair of invisible eyes watching him from the dark side. Once he did something he shouldn't have done, he would be forever doomed.

And Jiange itself is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Among the disciples there were princes and grandsons from Luojing, swordsman wizards from civilian backgrounds, relatives and members of the three great clans, and even the former fiancée of the rebel leader Gu Xu.

Today, when the situation in the wilderness is becoming increasingly confusing, it is by no means an easy task to handle the internal affairs of the sect and mediate the conflicts and disputes among the disciples.

However, what troubled Su Xiao the most were the elders who were known as the "right-hand men of the master" but were constantly arguing with each other.

Several of them are die-hard members of Xu Man, and they have almost fanatical admiration for the former master who is the best in the world in swordsmanship.

They firmly believed that the reason why Xu Man chose to leave the sect and follow Gu Xu to resist the Qi court must have hidden secrets that were unknown to him.

It is very likely that the Da Qi court did something that was harmful to nature, which made Xu Man, who practiced the "Pingtian Sword Art" and determined to "do justice to heaven and show injustice to others", filled with righteous indignation.

Therefore, whenever they had the opportunity, they directly or indirectly instigated Su Xiao, asking him to bring the entire Jiange together to rebel.

There are also many people close to the Qi court.

Su Xiao even suspected that some people were undercover agents sent by Qi Ting - after all, Jiange, as a large-scale sect, had stood on the top of the mountains of Shu for so many years and had long been receiving resource support from the Qi court. Naturally, It has long been deeply penetrated by the Da Qi court.

While they accused Xu Man of treason, they repeatedly told Su Xiao to remember the court's kindness to Jiange over the years and not to be an ungrateful villain like his master.

After being the master of the Jiange Pavilion for just a few days, Su Xiao was already exhausted.

He finally understood that the reason why he was able to concentrate on practicing swordsmanship without any distractions was because his master protected him from the wind and rain.

But now, the master's departure has made him understand that common things in the world are a sutra that is more difficult to cultivate than swordsmanship.

"Which constellation of 'Qing Ming' are you?"

Su Xiao frowned slightly and asked.

At this moment, standing in front of him was a short man wearing a floral robe, a tall hat, white powder on his face, and opera clown makeup.

Su Xiao knew that these people who liked to disguise themselves and hide their faces all came from an organization called "Qing Ming".

As Gu Xu raised troops on the northwest border, the existence of "Qing Ming" gradually became known to more and more people.

The members of this organization, each with the code name of Putian Xingdou, widely penetrated into all levels of the Da Qi court.People cannot see through their true identities, they only know that they have a common goal——

That is to assist Gu Xu, who is known as the "reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei", to overthrow Qi Ting, and then kick the false god "Tai Shang Haotian" from the altar, and return the truth to the people of the wilderness.Su Xiao knew in his heart that facing this uninvited guest, the most sensible thing to do was to drive him out of the sect immediately and not listen to a word he said.

But perhaps because of the master's choice, or perhaps because of his father's experience that was hidden in history, he finally kept this man dressed as a clown.

"My Jumenxing, I have met Pavilion Master Su," "Jumenxing" bowed slightly and said politely to Su Xiao, "I came to your sect this time because I have a shocking secret, and I want to share it with Su Xiao. Pavilion Master shares it. I wonder if Pavilion Master Su is interested in hearing it?"

His seductive tone and funny smile on his face made Su Xiao involuntarily feel alert.

"After hearing this secret, what price will I...or Jiange have to pay?" He asked seriously.

"Nothing is needed," "Jumen Xing"'s smile became even brighter, "This is a gift from Lord Wenchang Xing to Pavilion Master Su."

"Wenchang Xingjun..." Su Xiao recited this name silently in his mind.

Before the rise of Gu Xu, "Wenchang Xingjun" had always been the leader of "Qingming", with vast and mysterious powers.Many people have tried to investigate his true identity, but all have found nothing.

Before Su Xiao could express his position, "Jumen Xing" continued: "Please forgive me for my offense. But Mr. Wenchang Xing asked me to ask you for him. After experiencing the Luojing Rebellion this spring, Pavilion Master Su must have You already know the truth about your father’s death, right?”

Su Xiao nodded, his expression a little stiff.

"Have you ever thought about avenging him?"

"The enemy is dead. The emperor has already killed it for me."

"No, it is not dead," "Jumen Xing" shook his head gently, "It placed a coffin in its old nest in Mang Mountain, hiding a ray of its soul, leaving itself a chance of resurrection. Waiting for you When we return to Luojing City, we can see it alive and kicking again."

"With the emperor's strength, coupled with the power of the Tianlong Formation, you can't kill it completely?" Su Xiao looked surprised.

"No matter how powerful a practitioner is, there will be times when he makes oversights and mistakes, right?" "Jumen Xing" chuckled.

Su Xiao heard a hint of sarcasm in his words.

His right hand clenched his fist inadvertently, as if holding an invisible sword.

"You can just say what you want without beating around the bush with me."

"Then please be mentally prepared, Pavilion Master Su." At this point, "Jumenxing" paused for a moment, then continued, "You may have heard of such rumors - the emperors of the Daqi Dynasty were all Tai Shang Haotian's puppet is the jailer guarding the wilderness.

"Our current Tianxing Emperor Xiao Zeyao has naturally not escaped such a fate.

"But as one of the top cultivation wizards in the history of the Daqi royal family, after taking over the Tai'a sword, he tried to resist Taishang Haotian's control with his own strength, and persisted for eight years under the pressure of Taishang Haotian's will. .

“Of course, in the end he failed.

"Most of his spiritual will was assimilated by Supreme Haotian.

"The remaining small part was reincarnated into a ghost body through the power of the ancestors' residual thoughts, using the Yin Qi of heaven and earth and the 'Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique'.

"Then, he relied on the spell he created to tightly bind the fate of his human body and ghost body, living and dying together, so that Taishang Haotian could not directly erase his ghost body, but could only put it to death. Imprisonment seal.

“Everyone knows that the current emperor likes to practice in seclusion more than any previous emperor.

“But he is definitely not trying to explore the avenue of heaven and earth and seek a breakthrough in realm.

"It's because he needs to spend more energy to suppress the ghost body's resistance and prevent its spiritual invasion."

After hearing his words, Su Xiao was silent for a long time.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something important, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "I persisted for eight years... The eighth year of Tianxing was the year when Lu Shoufu committed treason, right?"
