The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Not to mention that Xu Zhiyu was hiding deep underground to heal his wounds at this time, even Weihaifang City, which he wanted to go to, felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

The top manager sent here by Yang Jiugong, who had just inspected the defense system of Fang City, Jindan Zhenren Le Zhao, as soon as he returned to the management hall, asked people to notify all the monks with cultivation levels above Zifu in Fang City to hold a meeting. .

No matter what the monks were doing, after receiving the order, they all stopped what they were doing and hurried to the management hall.

When the low-level monks in Fangshi saw this situation, their already sad faces became a little more panic-stricken. They gathered together and began to whisper.

"Tell me, with so many people from the Purple Mansion heading to the management hall, is it that the Demon Sect is about to attack Fang City?"

An eight-foot-tall monk in the late stage of Qi training guessed that his family had lived in Fang City for many generations and had his own sources of information. He also got the news that Yang Jiugong was being targeted by demon cultivators, so he made a guess.

"No way, I saw some monks entering Fangshi this morning! If the situation is really like what you said, the gate to Fangshi would have been closed long ago. Why would they let people in?"

The person who spoke to me was the stall owner who usually sells monster meat at the entrance of Fangshi. He was tall and tall, and he was also a monk in the late stage of Qi training. He said in a loud voice.

"You don't know something about this fellow Taoist! You must have seen the monks coming in, but not the monks leaving, right?" the eight-foot-tall monk asked, looking very thoughtful.

"Yes, there are only those who come in and no one who goes out. It seems that something is really going to go wrong in Fangshi. I just don't know if I can go out at this time?"

The butcher stall owner recalled what he saw and realized that this was indeed the case. He had already begun to think about a way out. To be honest, he was just a casual cultivator and had no idea of ​​coexisting with the market. No matter which market he stayed in , he can survive as long as he doesn't fight. If there is a war, his life will definitely be threatened.

"I'm afraid it's too late. The senior monks you saw entering Fangshi are probably sent by Yangjiugong as reinforcements, just in case the demonic cultivators really want to attack Fangshi, so as to resist them and prevent Fangshi from being harmed. Fall immediately and hold out until reinforcements arrive."

"What kind of war do you want to fight? Isn't it enough to be full? I just moved here less than half a year ago. I heard that it is not far from the sea. You can hunt monsters and collect underwater spirits in the offshore area. Why did you, who just came here to settle here, be so unlucky to encounter something like this?" Another late-stage Qi-training monk who heard their conversation complained.

"Hey, this fellow Taoist can't just talk nonsense. If the city guards hear this, they will inevitably think that you are colluding with the demon cultivators. They will arrest you at the least, and destroy your cultivation at the worst. Be careful!" The eight-foot-tall monk persuaded him kindly and kept away from this person without leaving a trace. During this sensitive period, he did not want to get into trouble.

At this time, in a secret room behind the management hall, Master Lezhao was sitting, with several of his confidants standing beside him, including disciples and sect deacons, but all of them were cultivators from the Zifu. for.

"Xiang Ling, have all the monks sent by the sect for reinforcements arrived in the past few days?" This was the question he was most concerned about at this time.

"Master Qi, except for Senior Brother He and Senior Brother Qi's team, everyone else has arrived and has been settled in!" The disciple whose name was called immediately stood up and returned.

"Very good, with these dozens of reinforcement monks sent by the sect, the hope of guarding this place has also increased a lot! By the way, Xiuyuan, I asked you to count before, all the people in the city with a cultivation level of foundation building or above How do you count all the quantities?"

"Uncle Qi, all statistics have been completed. The current situation is as follows:

There are 536 people in the Monk City in the early stage of foundation building, 135 people in the Monk City in the middle stage of foundation building, and 74 people in the late stage of foundation building.

There are 115 monks in the early stage of Zi Mansion, 26 monks in the middle stage of Zi Mansion, and four monks in the late stage of Zi Mansion.

There is only one Jindan monk. "

When the middle-term cultivator from Zifu finished his words, Master Le Zhao nodded and said happily:

"Yes, originally, except for the Zifu period monks sent by the sect, the number of Zifu monks living here in Fang City was only about thirty. Now there are more than a hundred. This should be beyond the expectations of the Demon Sect. Yes, if they really dare to attack Weihaifang City, I will let them know what regret means!"

Looking at the high-spirited martial uncle, the short-haired female cultivator sitting first on his left could not help but ask:

"Uncle, although there are a lot of monks in the Zifu, they are all brothers who went to Qianyang City and other large markets to hold auctions on your orders, and to exchange for urgently needed items. The formations and resources were deceived to get here, if they discover the truth, will they not work hard and run away without a fight when facing the demonic cultivators?"

"Senior Sister Yu, isn't it inappropriate for you to speak to my master in this tone? Even if you are sent by the head master, you can't disrespect the master, right?" As soon as she finished asking, a disciple of Master Le Zhao asked, "Is it right?" .

"Junior Brother Meng, it's not that I am disrespectful to my uncle, but I think this move is really inappropriate. Our Yang Jiugong inheritance has been more than 10,000 years ago. The reason why the inheritance has not been interrupted is that the formation has never fallen. Dharma skills are the reputation of our sect. If this matter spreads, how will the sect deal with itself?"

As a child, she has been taught that the leader regards the sect as her home. She cannot turn a blind eye to anything that may damage the sect. Moreover, the problem she is worried about is really serious. If it cannot be solved, it may affect the city's defense war. The victory or defeat, dozens of Zifu monks can definitely influence the direction of a war.

Seeing that his apprentice was still trying to argue, Master Le Zhao raised his hand to stop him. Then he looked at the female cultivator from Zi Mansion seriously and thought for a while before replying:

"Senior Nephew Yu is worthy of being the disciple of the head senior brother. He sees things more profoundly than ordinary people. However, the deception that Junior Nephew just said is a bit one-sided. The auction that attracted those monks is not not held, but what we are planning. At that time, I heard that the demonic cultivators were going to attack Fangshi, so I had no choice but to cancel the postponement. As for the monks who came to buy formations and resources, we also sent a message to transport the spiritual objects they needed from the sect, but they were also blocked. The demon sect monks intercepted it.

So it's not that we, Yang Jiugong, are unfaithful, but that damn Demonic Cult ruined everything. If they are angry, let's blame it all on the Demonic Cult. We are also very sorry. Only if they help us get rid of the demon cult monks will the auction continue to be held and the resources they want will appear in their hands. "Yes, Master is right, it's all the fault of those damn demon cultivators!" "

"We didn't lie to them. They will have this after we drive away the demon cultivators!"

Looking at the expressionless uncle, Yu Tingzhu sighed in his heart. He was still incomparable with these old monsters who had lived for nearly a thousand years. No wonder before he was sent here, his master had warned him to study hard here. In the past, She still didn't understand what she was learning, but now she understood that what she learned was wisdom and means. This method of turning one's hands into clouds and rain was something she could not get access to while staying in seclusion in the sect.

However, she still had doubts in her mind. Now that the conversation had been opened today, she planned to get to the bottom of the matter and find out thoroughly.

"But Uncle Master, even if we say this, I estimate that only a small half of them will believe it. Most of the other Zifu monks will still not believe our words, and this will also cause their dissatisfaction. What should we do?"

Seeing his nephew's eyes full of curiosity, Master Le Zhao smiled and then explained:

"If you don't believe it, don't believe it. All their dissatisfaction can only be suppressed in their hearts and they dare not express it. As for taking refuge in the Demon Cult because of this, that is only the last choice. Most righteous monks do not have the courage.

Moreover, it is impossible for the Righteous Alliance to just watch the Demon Sect invade our country of Fujian and sit idly by. They will definitely send reinforcements. If the Righteous Alliance wins in the end, then the monks who have taken refuge in the Demon Sect will not only retreat back to the Yan Kingdom with the Demon Sect monks, but also ignore them. Wherever they appear in Xuanzhou, they will be beaten and killed by the righteous monks.

Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about them turning to the Demonic Cult out of dissatisfaction. At most, they are unwilling to deal with the Demonic Cult with all their strength. However, there is no need to be afraid. I believe that when the Demonic Cultivator threatens their lives, they will not sit still and wait for death. After all, If you don't want to kill someone, they may not be willing to let you go. "

Hearing these words, Yu Tingzhu couldn't help but nod. The other Zifu monks in Yang Jiugong also cast admiring glances at Zhenren Le Zhao who was sitting at the top. It was precisely because of his presence that everyone was interested in guarding Weihaifang City. Full of confidence.

"By the way, Shi Cong, has every Zifu monk who comes to Fang City experienced a experience under the magic weapon? There can be no mistakes in this matter. You have to be careful!"

"Uncle, Junior Brother Wang and I will keep an eye on this matter together to make sure nothing goes wrong!"

"That's good. If the magic cultivator takes the opportunity to sneak in, it will be very detrimental to us! Xiangling, go check the long-range defense instruments on the city wall. If there is any damage, find someone to repair it immediately. At the same time, Ruzhang, you are responsible for assisting him, and at the same time leaving a certain number of spiritual stones for the disciples of the sect who are responsible for using these magical weapons, and telling them that if there is a sudden attack by a demon cultivator, they can directly attack the invading enemy without asking for instructions!"

"Yes!" Several people took the order and left.

At this moment, another person came into the secret room. It was another disciple sent by Master Le Zhao to receive all the Zifu monks in Fang City.

"Master, all the monks from the Zifu outside have arrived. Please go out and give a lecture!"

"Okay, let's go then. You don't have to go. Go back and perform your duties. It seems that this war with the Demon Cult is unavoidable. Let's go back and prepare!" After taking a look at his subordinates, he After giving the instruction, he walked towards the main hall ahead.

"Master, there is something else that I forgot to report to you just now." The apprentice who just came to the secret room to inform Master Le to go to the main hall said softly behind him.

"Speak up if you have something to say!"

"More monks came to Fang City from outside today than in the past few days combined. I asked why, and they replied that the Demon Sect's blockade seemed to be less strict. I don't know why, but they broke through the blockade easily. The circle arrived at Fangshi.

I wonder if the Demon Cult will make any big move next. If so, we must be prepared in advance to prevent any unexpected events! "

"Okay, I understand this matter. I will discuss it with your junior brothers when the time comes. Now go and see the Zifu monks who are waiting here. Next, you will have to rely on them to resist the demonic cultivators."

The master and apprentice discussed as they walked, and soon arrived at the management hall.

Back to Xu Zhiyu, a whole day has passed since he was forced to hide underground to heal his injuries.

It may seem that one day is very short in ordinary times, but for a person who has been seriously injured and is still in danger of exposure at any time, it is indeed not short.

"If I had known this, I should have stayed in Yue Kingdom and waited for the start of the God Transformation Ceremony. But now it's bad. What I wanted to do didn't happen. Now I almost even risked my life. It's really unlucky. Got it!"

Looking at his almost severed right arm and feeling the condition of his internal organs, Xu Zhiyu said with emotion. At the same time, he felt that he could no longer stay here. The reason was very simple. This was not such a secret hiding place. And it is easy to be targeted. If he is found and surrounded here, he will probably have to use the fake baby talisman to escape from here. But just escaping from here is not enough, there must be an ambush outside. , what to do then? Therefore, fake baby talismans really cannot be used unless absolutely necessary.

Fortunately, in the past day, he not only stabilized his injuries, but also restored about 40% of the mana in his Dantian. This was due to the third-level low-grade elixir he prepared before coming out - Dizhi Spirit-Building Pill, this kind of pill is specially used to replenish the spiritual power of the early cultivators of Zi Mansion, but it is also expensive.

Having made up his mind, he used the Earth Escape Technique to get closer to the ground little by little from the depths of the ground. Once he found a monk coming out, he would immediately change his direction. In this way, he spent most of the day digging in the soil before finally discovering a monk. His consciousness scanned the safe place, and after emerging from the ground, he couldn't wait to put the three-color phoenix wings on his back, and then used mana to activate them, and quickly left the place.

However, his traces were discovered by the nearby demon cultivators, and they were reported to the Chief Deacon on the ninth floor of the Zi Mansion. Then he was chased and intercepted by more than a dozen Zi Mansion monks, but this time he was much luckier, after all. These demonic cultivators ambush here were not specifically to deal with him, but had a mission. They returned after chasing for a while, allowing him to arrive in Weihaifang City without any danger.
