Nothing is to blame

Chapter 457

In the sky, which is not known how much above the earth's surface, the clouds are in a strange ring shape.

Not one ring, but nine in size.The big ring is surrounded by the small ring, with nine layers inside and outside.In the innermost "cloud ring", stands a circular palace like a tower and a pillar.

It stands to reason that this kind of tall and thin suspended tower-shaped building is not uncommon in the monastic world.

But this one in front of me is a bit special - the eaves of its main hall are really extended too long, far exceeding the boundaries required by the temple itself, and there is absolutely no beauty at all.At least, the fat eaves make a majestic high hall appear narrow for no reason.

If the eaves of the temple extend hundreds of feet further, people will inevitably suspect that the shape of the temple is built by imitating the shape of an umbrella after it is stretched out.

Under the huge "eaves", there is a looming plaque hidden.There are five big characters on the plaque: Shenkongjing Xingdian.

This hall looks tall and thin, like a hundred-story tower.In fact, there is only one floor in this hall.It is transparent inside and out, leaving no room.At this time, the hall was empty, and it was unobstructed.What you can see when you look up is extremely wide, extremely high, deep and dazzling.

Looking around the hall, there are only twenty-four pillars that obstruct the view a little, and every twenty or thirty feet, there is a brazier with a torch inserted in it.

Generally speaking, the use of torches is naturally for lighting.But this palace is completely different.In the hall, from the neat and uniform floor, to the hanging pillars with elaborate decorations, and the low jade steps, the north stone platform.All are translucent golden yellow, radiant and brilliant, as if in the pure land of bliss.

And the blackish orange flames emanating from the torches are not only not lighting, but rather like receiving light, converging into pieces of dark and solid.

The grand ostentation of Izuyuntian in this building is obviously not something that ordinary sects can have.Although the hundreds of hidden sects are separated from the north and the south, they unanimously advocate black, white, and blue colors. No one has built such a bright and yellow main hall that is gilded and shining.

not to mention--

The hall is comprehensive and elegant, upright and clear, and its bearing is faintly higher than that of the hermit sects.

At this time, in the main hall, there were [-] people who looked very young, all of them were Nascent Soul cultivators, eight on the left and eight on the left, lined up on both sides.A "jade building" more than two feet long and about a foot wide, resembling an imperial edict, five or six jade slips, and three or four pebble-sized balls shimmering with light, were passed around among the sixteen people, accompanied by Lights and shadows flickering and whispers of conversation.

These sixteen people all have extraordinary appearance and temperament, especially the two on the left and right.

The person on the left is tall and tall, but his icy muscles and bones are better than that of a woman. Although he doesn't always maintain a motionless posture, from the perspective of perception, even if he moves, it makes people feel as stable as a mountain.

The one on the right is a woman with an elegant demeanor and her eyes closed.This woman's eyelashes are much longer than ordinary people, almost leaving two curved black shadows.From time to time, she reached out, took out something that looked like a nut from the clay pot beside her, threw it into her mouth, and chewed it lightly.

It can be seen that although she closed her eyes, she was neither in meditation nor performing exercises, but a consistent habit.It seemed that she had made up her mind not to see the world with her eyes.

The quietness, denseness, subtlety, and moistness of these two auras are almost to the point where there is nothing to add.Xun Shen, who has the highest realm in the true biography of Yinzong, is at best on par with these two.

Although the remaining fourteen people are different from the first two on the left and right, they are equally extraordinary.Among them, there are at least eight people whose realm is not below Dailuozong's "Lan".Although the other six are slightly inferior, the gap is not far behind.

Zhengbei is the main seat, and one person sits on the nine-foot-high seat.This person looked to be in his fifties or sixties. Although he had a big frame, he had a shriveled figure. He was wearing a checkered gray robe and had a calm demeanor.

If someone stares at him and senses it for a long time, he can realize that there is a huge energy that can move mountains and fill seas in his ordinary body.This person is impressively at the Sky Profound Realm.

But he seems to be deliberately restraining himself, not exuding the majestic aura of turning the world upside down and turning the customer into the main, as if he has made up his mind to be an outsider.

Behind this person is a girl disguised as a boy.

The boy didn't blink his eyes, staring at a bronze hourglass not far away.Finally, when the time came, the little boy took out a copper hammer from nowhere, and hit a gong and drum at his feet hard.

In the entire hall, there were leisurely and endless ringing.

But this Tianxuan Shangzhen, who was wearing a checkered robe, still had a nonchalant attitude, and only nodded slightly.

It is not difficult to guess where this room is.

In the past thousands of years, the ancestral family of the Holy Church has also had a system rise and fall.

At the beginning of the merging of the Qianyuan and Shangqing sects, the ancestral court of the Holy Cult was actually just like the Yinzong who had just formed an alliance recently. Nine people were selected from dozens of Tianxuan Shangzhen to take charge of the sect's important affairs.

But now the system has changed.All important matters in the sect are entrusted to the sixteen direct disciples, and after being fully discussed in the annual "annual meeting" of the Shenkong Sutra Hall, they are collectively resolved.In order to ensure everything is safe, there is a Tianxuan Shangzhen who takes turns to listen every year.It's just that most of the time, the Master Tianxuan only came with his ears and eyes, and didn't say a word.

At this time, the Tianxuan Shangzhen in the checkered robe with the Dao name "Sama" in the hall is the one who is on duty for this year.

After the sound of gongs and drums, the sixteen people in the hall put away the board deeds, jade slips and other things.It's just that everyone's appearance and attitude are still very loose and peaceful, and they didn't deliberately sit upright.For example, the woman on the upper right side is still eating snacks with her eyes closed.

There was even one person lying on his side, as if taking a nap.

The third person from the bottom left is a short monk who looks about twenty-four or five years old.This person is dressed in a plain robe, with a majestic horseshoe painted on his back, which is also very interesting.

This person was the first to speak out, talking eloquently: "According to Qi, this matter may not be a bad thing."

"Since the opening of the cave and heaven and the great prosperity of the gods, many disciples of this religion have taken it for granted that this religion is the master of heaven and human civilization. Of course, for the people below, in the process of expanding their power, it is natural to encourage them to believe in this religion. If you have such an idea, you even want to take the initiative to promote it; but inside and outside the ancestral court, many fellow disciples who are at the core and have great potential also think so, so it is a big mistake."

"It needs to be seen that despite the rapid expansion of the religion's power over the past [-] years, in essence, the religion is still in a rising period, constantly expanding its territory and opening up new territories, rather than successfully Sit back and enjoy the world. Sweeping the resistance and extinguishing the noise still requires the loyalty and wisdom of the brothers and sisters in the teaching."

"Whether it's the provocation from the monster clan, or this letter of war in front of you, it's all about vigilance. Although his words are sharp, if my ancestors of the holy religion can really rule Zhou Tian, ​​what's the use of letting him speak a thousand words?"

All the people in the hall nodded slowly when they heard the words.

In fact, the more explicit words were not spoken by this person.From the immediate point of view, this gauntlet is forcing the Holy Church into a situation where it has to respond.But if you hold absolute power, you may deprive your opponent of even the right to speak, even if you are reasonable, why should you be afraid?This just shows that the ancestral family of the Holy Church, which seems to be in full swing, is not overwhelming and has no opponents.

There were two people behind this person, and another person spoke.

This person's complexion is sallow, and his eyes are sunken, but his eyes are full of sharpness that cannot be concealed: "Huo Mou thinks that in this game, don't be disturbed by the horoscope of 'Yuanying is invincible, Jindan Yishi'. These seemingly inconceivable eight characters may be the Yinzong's trap to lure the enemy."

"It's nothing to blame, it doesn't matter whether it's a real Golden Core Realm or a fake Golden Core Realm. All in all, among the many materials collected so far, this person's last dozens of battles can be regarded as the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Mana cultivation base."

"If I'm obsessed with the matter of 'challenging the Nascent Soul at the Golden Core Realm' and ponder over and over again. I even think about sending out which Golden Core cultivator, and if I'm lucky enough to accept this person's gesture, I will be considered a success. Then I will probably be tricked."

"Forget the word Jindan. Since he claims that the Nascent Soul is undefeated, then let's use the Nascent Soul Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm. It is only about winning or losing, and there are no other conditions that seem to catch people's attention. In fact, it is the most fair. I Shengjiao is the more active and powerful side. It is the right way to use troops so dignifiedly."

As soon as this remark came out, three or four people applauded at the same time.This person's analysis is like a sharp knife, completely cutting off the doubts and entanglements in their hearts, as if turning the clouds to see the sun.

There was a lot of discussion, and one of them said: "During the battle, we should set up the 'Taiwei Jianzhen Formation' in advance in the Dou Suo. It is best to have the largest array map of the 'Thousand Turns' Transformation'. This religion does not bother to occupy it." Others are cheap. But with the protection of this array, no matter how clever the method of concealing merit is, there is no way to hide. If the opponent is really at the Nascent Soul stage, we have nothing to fear."

Another person said: "The period of the battle must be at least three months later. That is the day when the 'pot spirit' awakens once in a hundred years. On the day of the battle, you must invite the 'pot spirit' to hold the battle in secret. Any medicine in the world None of the methods of the Shudan family can escape the eyes and ears of the 'pot spirit'. In this way, the loophole for secretly using the power of medicine has also been blocked."

The bottom left ranks fifth, and she is the only female cultivator among the sixteen people except for the closed-eyed woman at the top.

The woman stroked her hair on her temples and said in a soft voice: "There is one more thing. My younger sister thinks that it is best to have Master Jia Li present at the time of the competition. In this way, all kinds of methods to make the sacred treasure restrained and hidden can be won. Guaranteed to avoid it."

The person next to her patted his forehead and said: "Junior Sister Tian is absolutely right. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost overlooked this brother."

……

The ancestors of the holy religion are not ignorant people.

The power background of Yinzong is not as good as that of the ancestors of the holy religion.Dare to write a challenge this time, of course it is a good time to see the joint challenge of several big monster clans headed by the Red Meizu.But he himself must have felt that he had a slight chance of winning, so he dared to make this decision.Everyone in this hall has thought through.

Everyone said something to each other, not counting the man and woman on the left and right, most of the other fourteen people had already offered their words and suggestions.Except for a few two who focus on the overall situation and discuss the situation macroscopically.The rest of the people racked their brains, displaying almost all the preventive measures they could think of.

But upside down, what everyone said was to guard against Yinzong's possible open and dark arrows, conspiracy and tricks in the challenge.All along, everyone seems to be ignoring two things:
First of all, is it possible for the Yinzong faction to challenge the impunity, is it possible to be upright and upright, and to surpass the ancestor's direct inheritance by virtue of real ability?
Second, when the enemy and the enemy are not clear, does the Holy Cult's ancestral court need to think of a way to raise the card of avoiding battle and temporarily avoid the edge?
This way of thinking is not so much arrogance as it is a general trend developed by [-] years of operation.

A few months ago, the Yinzong formed an alliance and wrote a letter to the ancestral court.

When the letter of battle was passed on, Chief Wen Gao was shocked when he saw it.This is a major event that can almost affect the structure of the monastic world. He didn't dare to delay for a moment. He quickly informed the eighteen divisions in charge, and even got through the joints in succession. .

But not long after, this letter from Yinzong changed hands and was thrown into the hall of Shenkong Sutra.Dao Zun's decree, just wait for the annual meeting to deal with it as a routine.

At the same time, the Taoist priest issued another decree, and the two directors and directors, who were not low in the holy religion, were sentenced to three years of hard labor for the crime of "reporting beyond the system, behaving in a loss of manner, and losing decency".Even several servants and neighbors who opened up the joints for him were also implicated.

This is also the reason why Yinzong's war letter fell into the sea and was delayed for four or five months.

From this we can see the unique behavior style of the Holy Family, domineering and confident.

At this time, the last person on the right side of the hall spoke, and said something that seemed modest to him: "Even if the person who challenged the Yinzong really has some skills, at most I can't take it down. Brother Dan Li, Senior Sister Xi , is also an existence that shines through the ages in the successive generations. With two sitting in charge, there are no variables."

When these words came out, everyone nodded secretly.This group of people looked at the heads on the left and right from the corner of their eyes, revealing absolute trust, even blind obedience.

As usual.After everyone has fully expressed their views, it is time for Xi and Li, who are the leaders, to make a decision.

All the people in the hall thought that the two senior brothers would accept the challenge without hesitation, and at the same time say some morale-boosting and inspiring words.

But the strange thing is that the woman surnamed Xi is still eating nuts with her eyes closed, as if nothing has to do with her; while that "Senior Brother Li", despite the brilliance and sharpness in his eyes, seems a little tired.

After a while, this "Brother Li" stood up slowly, and whispered in a somewhat perplexed voice: "Is there really a road ahead?"

As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall was stunned.

Even on the high seat, Samadha Shangzhen, who originally closed his eyes and meditated, couldn't help but be surprised.
