Chapter 291 Southern Xinjiang
Before the world is chaotic, Shu will be in chaos, and the world is determined by Shu.
There is only one Miaozhen Sect in Shuzhou on the surface, but in fact, there are many large and small forces outside the Miaozhen Sect, such as the Shushan Sword Sect, Tangjiabao, Qingyang Sect, the Southern Witch Sect, and even the remnants of the Yu Guangming Sect. What is even more unusual is that the Confucian Sect, which is known as the orthodox world, does not have a deep foundation in Shuzhou.
The reason for this is that the southern border close to Shuzhou is the key. In the eyes of most people in the Central Plains, southern border is a wilderness with malaria and non-education. Since the Jin Dynasty of the previous dynasty, this place has been regarded as a fear of the way by officials. The emperor was demoted to officials, either Lingnan or Southern Xinjiang. Now, Lingnan has changed its appearance compared to the previous dynasty, with prosperous maritime trade and developed commerce, but southern Xinjiang has not yet made much changes.
However, this is reasonable. Southern Xinjiang is also called a land of 100,000 mountains. As the name suggests, one mountain is connected by one mountain, one mountain after another, continuous, with towering trees, few roads, and sparse people, and miasma. In this rugged mountainous land, not only cavalry cannot move, but even heavy armored infantry are also difficult to achieve. On the contrary, the barbarians in the southern Xinjiang have a kind of vine armored soldiers wearing vine armor. They climb mountains and ridges like flat ground, agility like monkeys, and like fish in water in the 100,000 mountains. Moreover, after retreating into the 100,000 mountains, the barbarians in the southern Xinjiang completely dissolve into pieces, scattered in the 100,000 mountains, scattered in the 100,000 mountains, making it impossible for the army to form a decisive battle with them. Once the food and grass are insufficient, they can only withdraw from southern Xinjiang.
Therefore, the southern border has always been a natural barrier for barbarians. Whenever the Central Plains dynasty conquers the barbarians, as long as the barbarians retreat into it, the central army will have no choice.
Because of this, southern Xinjiang is a natural hiding place. The main altar of the Light Cult is located at the junction of southern Xinjiang and Shuzhou. The mountains are high and dense forests are dense. Even the Confucian school that represents the orthodox world, it is difficult to reach this place.
This ancient land in southern Xinjiang, whether it was the education of Confucian saints or the Buddhists coming from the west, was rejected by this place. They just left a few footprints in southern Xinjiang with difficulty and left in a hurry.
The Taoist sect is an exception. Since the Zu Tianshi eliminated the Witch Sect and became independent here, it has truly achieved rule over the southern Xinjiang. Although the Tianshi Sect ultimately failed, from the Tianshi Sect to the Zhengyi Sect, and retreated to Wuzhou, the remnants of the Witch Sect made a comeback and occupied the southern Xinjiang again, the later Miaozhen Sect, the Shushan Sword Sect, and even the Qingyang Sect founded by the Earth Master, still showed that the Taoist sect saved Shuzhou and became the only exception among the three religions who had the ability to influence southern Xinjiang. Therefore, this time, the Taoist sect became the unquestionable backbone force.
The Confucian Sect can only mobilize some elite masters to cooperate with the people in the Taoist Sect to come to plow the courtyard and sweep the acupoints.
In addition, Zhengyi Sect and Xuannv Sect also sent reinforcements, with a total of about 400 people, on the way to Shuzhou.
When the Taoist sect goes out, it is naturally not comparable to the army that often goes out, which is tens of thousands of people. However, these more than a thousand people cannot be underestimated. At least they are also in the cultivation level of the alchemy realm. More than 300 disciples of Miaozhen Sect are good at talismans and alchemy. This time, the Miaozhen Sect provides elixirs to avoid miasma and is proficient in cracking formations. If there is any damage, they can also treat them. More than 300 disciples of Shushan Sword Sect are good at swordsmanship, have the highest killing power, and can form sword formations to fight the enemy. When it comes to head-on fighting, they will be the main force. In addition, more than 300 disciples of Tang Family Fort, who are good at mechanisms, hidden weapons, and poisons. They can attack and retreat or defend. If they retreat, these disciples of Tang Family Fort can set up traps behind the hall to block the enemy's pursuit. If they attack, they can also attack and respond from the side.
In addition to these ordinary disciples, top masters are not bad. Putting aside Qin Su, Lan Xuanshuang is a well-deserved realm of heaven and man creation. Qi Yinbing, Tang Wan, and Ji Shuye are also great masters of the realm of heaven and man. In addition, the elite masters led by Sikong Daoxuan and Ziyanshan people in the Confucian Sect are quite powerful and can even be compared with a major sect in the world.
Such a big move naturally became a grand event in the world. And unlike the previous few times, it was neither an internal struggle between Taoism nor a conflict between Confucianism and Taoism, but a conquering people in the devil. Everyone knows that the devil is declining now, so naturally everyone is willing to step on it a few steps, without any mistakes, and there is no need to worry that they will stand in the wrong team and settle the accounts after the fall. So many scattered people in the world gathered and followed behind, making the momentum of attacking people in the devil this time even more powerful.
As for why people in the world who believe that people in the Demonic Way are soft persimmons, it is one thing that people in the Demonic Way have disappeared over the years. The key is that no master of immortality goes there in person and counts forward. The earth master sneaks into the Great Zhenren Mansion, the old master of heaven attacks Beim Mountain, Yuxu Sword Fighting, and the changes in the Great Zhenren Mansion. When did no master of immortality participate in it? This time, no master of immortality participates, which means that people in the Demonic Way are not worth worrying, and are far inferior to the previous conflicts in the world.
On the other hand, Qin Su, Li Feng and Lu Yanbing, went to the main hall of the Guangming Cult first.
In fact, the Guangming Sect in the early years was not like this. Although people in the three religions did not recognize it very much, at most they could not reach the point of being a demon.
There are two reasons for this. One is Fang Shisan's uprising, and the other is the rebellious actions of the Five Demon Sect Leader. There is no need to say much about the uprising. During the Jin Dynasty, the three Confucian, Buddhism and Taoism supported the court, and it was difficult to have a good end to oppose the court. If Fang Shisan's uprising denied the Light Cult at the court level, then the subsequent actions of the Five Demon Sect Leader were to deny the Light Cult at the Jianghu level.
In fact, when Fang Shisan launched his army, the court was already very corrupt, so many people in the martial arts world still praised Fang Shisan as a hero and did not regard him as a man in the demonic path. At least it was controversial. The key was that the subsequent actions of the Five Demon Sect Masters had deviated from the doctrine of the Light Cult, absorbed a large number of barbaric methods of the witch sect, and began to collect living souls and sacrifice them to living people. In this way, they quickly violated the taboo in the martial arts world, and were eventually completely included in the demonic path.
At this point, the Light Sect has been destroyed in name only and has completely become the private property of the Five Demon Masters. The disciples in the sect no longer believe in the Patriarch Taiping and the God of Light, but only believe in the Five Demon Masters who are known as gods in the world. Today, many disciples of the Light Sect think that the Five Demon Masters are the founder of the Sect and have lived for thousands of years.
Under the leadership of Li Feng, the three of them did not walk on the main road, but on the rugged road. These roads were hidden and very rugged and difficult to walk. If you were not careful, you would fall off the cliff and die without a place to bury it, so you could not walk in a large group of people. However, compared with the main road, the road was a shortcut, running with all your might, not inferior to the wind. As for why you didn't use the "Yinyang Gate" to rush on the road, it was because the people in the Demonic Dao had already opened the formation to disrupt the five elements and confusing Yin and Yang. Even their own people could not enter and exit through the "Yinyang Gate" and other means. In this way, the people in the Dao Sect could only attack in, but could not descend into the sky.
After the three of them entered the southern border for about a hundred miles, they encountered a beautiful village. Unlike the fortress built in the northwest and Liaodong to resist the Jinguan cavalry, the village consists of stilt houses, and outside the village are terraced fields built based on the mountains, which are green and pleasing to the eye.
The three of them stopped outside the village, and Li Feng pointed to the village and said, "There are many of our believers here, as the eyes and ears. If there are outsiders passing by, they will probably not be able to hide them."
Qin Su nodded slightly and did not speak.
At this time, Qin Su had already changed outfit, completely like Li Feng's entourage, and Lu Yanbing was pretending to be seriously injured on his back.
Li Feng led the two of them forward and walked into the village.
Although Li Feng looked like a man of semen, the people in the village were not surprised. Soon someone came forward and saluted Li Feng. Then he said, "The ancestor god of Yunxiao moistened all things, benefited the people, protected us, and thanked the ancestor god for his blessing."
After Li Feng received this gift, he did not have to bow to this person, but he also had to say this.
After the ceremony, the person began to talk about the main topic: "Elder, the Venerable has already asked him to ask."
Li Feng said: "I'm going to see the Venerable now. Where is the Venerable now?"
The man said, "Nether Valley."
Li Feng nodded, waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and then explained to Qin Su via a message: "The Netherworld Valley is the entrance to the main hall, which is located underground."
