Today I hold the world

After the sun rose and set, three full days had passed since the great battle that day, a gust of cold wind swept in from the side tent of the military camp at the foot of Qingling Mountain. wink.

He felt the woman sitting beside the bed wipe away her tears gently, and suddenly a name came to his mind, Situ Mi, his poor wife and child who had died long ago.

uh~

When the scene in his eyes was a little clearer, he saw that the woman was Ju Kui, and his consciousness returned to his body. The injuries all over his body, which were not well and thoroughly, had recurred since three days ago, and now he was in a dull pain.

"Ma'am, don't cry."

Ju Kui wiped away her tears, and turned from sadness to joy, "You're awake, I almost thought you'd be a widow."

She helped and supported Zhong Ziyan to sit up slowly, seeing that the man in her family was finally conscious, her heart was much more relaxed.

The small hands were soft and squishy, ​​and when they were squeezed, Zhong Ziyan felt bitter in his heart, but smiled kindly on his face, "It's okay, don't worry."

The cold wind blows into the camp tent, moistening the heart, and a sense of sadness and sadness permeates, Zhong Ziyan keeps silent, and Ju Kui also accompany him quietly.

After a long time, there was a faint sigh in the tent, "Master Tao passed away a few days ago, and since then he has no close relatives or elders for his husband."

Ju Kuixian held Zhong Ziyan tightly. Three days ago, Biyoujing carried Zhong Ziyan, who was in a coma in grief, back, and the subsequent army returned one after another. During the process, and even countless conjectures behind the incident were circulated in the army. As the head wife, How could she not know.

The footsteps of a patrol team outside the camp heard, Zhong Ziyan slowly put on his clothes and lay down on the bed, and was supported by Ju Kui to walk out of the tent, the passing disciples and monks from the same army saluted one after another.

Walking step by step from the snow, frost crystals blew, Zhong Ziyan suddenly looked back, and saw the figure in the red robe and cloud suit, it was not his uncle.

Back in the day, Xincheng came all the way day and night to report, but it was here that I saw him for the first time.

Time turns in the blink of an eye, like a big dream, no matter how hard it is to return to, things in this place have changed, and there are no figures in red robes and cloud suits.

"Ah~"

Just as he was sighing, he suddenly heard a quarrel coming from a statistical account next to him. The voice was a female nun arguing with a man:

"Senior brother Lu, my sister has done so much for the sect in the past ten years. At this time, the war has just ended, and she just exchanged her merits in advance to get the bottle of healing medicine to slow down the injury. Are you so overbearing?"

Then I heard a male Xiu Huyin reprimand: "Don't mess around, Yin'er's life is very different, and Zhu's sister is just an outer disciple. Can healing injuries be more important than saving lives?"

"you!"

"Little Qiao, forget it, leave it to Junior Brother Lu."

……

The dispute inside the tent gradually weakened, but Zhong Ziyan's eyes outside the tent gradually changed from melancholy to dark, looking at Qingling Mountain, which was still being repaired, with a misty mind.

******

At noon, a group of dignitaries gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army for a discussion. The commanders of the four armies, all the golden elixir, were led by Song Yingxing to discuss one by one with a pile of military achievements.

After all, the affairs of the world do not revolve around his Chilongmen family, and they are just some equivalent interests with the scattered cultivation bases who came to the Eastern Expedition. Now that the war has come to an end, or it has basically ended, the rewards that should be done must not Procrastination.

But the reward is very involved, and naturally it will not be decided all at once, this is destined to be a time-consuming effort.

As the master, if you want to convince the fellow Taoists who were born and died before, it depends on the unfairness of this reward. Unfortunately, fairness and unfairness are difficult to say precisely, and we can only do our best.

In order to give his subordinates the rewards they deserved, the commanders of the four armies naturally had to discuss the facts as they mattered. Some spirit weapons and spiritual objects, which could match the corresponding monks and have enough military exploits, naturally had to meet the requirements of their subordinates.

A disciple whispered a report from outside the tent, and Zhong Ziyan arranged some affairs for Song Yingxing and Jiang Yuzhou to preside over, and then withdrew.

After leaving the door, Lu Linjiao and Wei Jin were already waiting by the side, and Zhong Ziyan ordered:

"Jin'er, you sorted out all the events of the Eastern Expedition, and wrote down the valuable numbers in Ying Xing's general ledger book in the account in the afternoon. In the afternoon, you personally took the lead team back to Mount Huai, and ordered Jian Yong to start preparations. The celebration ceremony will be held two months later."

Wei Jin took orders to leave.

The rest of the strong Lu Linjiao is eager to listen to the order. After a long silence, the master master finally said in harmony: "Linjiao, I heard that you are usually dissatisfied with your fellow sects. Although you have made a lot of achievements in this battle, you can You can't be arrogant and arrogant."

"Uncle Master, disciple..."

"You go to prepare for the army's return to Huaishan in half a month. The rules and regulations must be detailed. Come and check with me. This matter should be discussed with the older seniors and senior sisters in the alliance. Now I have plenty of spiritual land and few disciples. There is even a shortage of competent and capable officers who can entrust important responsibilities, so you need to put some thought into it."

"Disciple's order." Lu Linjiao left excitedly. This was the first time he was assigned such a major task. Although it was just a discussion and presentation of a charter, it was a travel plan for tens of thousands of people and even the entire alliance army.

Experience the many processes of the current army coming from the east, the interests involved behind each branch of power, and the prestige they can have are no longer comparable to the small team leader of the Royal Demon City a few years ago.

Practice and practice, lack of resources, power, and prestige, how can you go smoothly? When you have this thing, you can say that you don’t care, Xiao Daoyer, but when you don’t have it, if you encounter difficulties, you have to endure unexpected twists and turns And bitter food.

A few years ago, my master was just cut off from his position as the head of the Tanlang Palace. Many villains in the outside world who were originally low-browed and pleasing to the eye immediately turned their faces and were unreasonable. After all, it was because they lost power.

He, Lu Linjiao, was only focused on his cultivation, but his junior sister was seriously injured in this battle, and those in the same team rushed to recuperate when they encountered a crisis, but they didn't back down much because he was Lu Linjiao.

Now that my sect is seeing a booming situation, if I can take this opportunity to do more practical things in front of the sect master, and gain the position of experience, I will always be able to fight for the right to speak in the future, even if it is nothing else, just for Junior Sister Wei Yin And it has to be.

Looking at Lu Linjiao who was going away, Zhong Ziyan felt more and more that there were too few manpower available in the door. He pondered for a long time, and ordered the Qi Lianxiu who was on duty beside him: "Go tell Tao Jintan, Liu Jingsheng, Tao Yuanming, Tao Wangshen The four of you come to my tent tonight to discuss matters... just add another Zhu Yuzi."

After the order was issued, he did not continue to stay here, but walked quickly to the guest tent not far from his sleeping camp.

******

Chen Xie in black was sitting at the head of the tent.

"I have dealt with some important matters, and I have told Old Ancestor Chen to wait for a long time. I hope you will forgive me." Zhong Ziyan held the salute respectfully.

This battle can be won without losing too much troops. The final Nascent Soul battle is the key point, and among them, the Nascent Soul Patriarch, who is currently sitting firmly in the tent, is crucial.

If he hadn't acted in time to guard Tao Fangyin into the formation, and then blocked the opponent's two powerful Nascent Soul enemies by himself in the subsequent battle, the Chilongmen alone would not be able to turn the situation back.

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that with this person's strength, it is very possible to fight the three of them directly, and it is very possible to spare one or two lives of the other party under the condition of doing their best, but Zhong Ziyan cannot look at things from this perspective .

The war is the battle of the Red Dragon Sect. As an outsider, Chen Xie, to help is due to love, not to help is duty, if you change to a dark-hearted partner, you can wait for more than [-] people in the Red Dragon Army to die before making a move. His surname Zhong still had to kneel on the ground in gratitude.

People have to recognize the reality. Zhong Ziyan, as a master of a sect, cannot live to this day without understanding such principles. The so-called help of the self-help is that Tao Fangyin is unwilling to plead with Chen even if he takes his life and sacrifices everything to kill Liu Jiangyu Xie's reason.

After a few greetings with Chen Xie, Zhong Ziyan asked questions that he hadn't thought to understand one by one. Perhaps out of admiration for Tao Fangyin's killing of Yuanying three days ago, Chen Xie had a lot more patience at this time.

"According to Wen Wanxiong and I's deduction, the reason why he was able to use the long-lost magic of Wuliang Mountain that day was basically by relying on a method similar to the alchemy sacrifice to let himself enter the fake baby stage in advance. The force of the spatial rules of the formations restrained Liu Jiangxi, so that he could hit him with one blow and cut off his body.

Besides, the two of us speculate that if others set up this game, if there is a slight difference between them, they will fall short, and since he has a plan in mind, he must be a natal object or realize such a rare talent secret as [Yuhuo Liuli Body] when he formed a pill. Only by being able to contain the spiritual energy that cannot bear the vastness of the Golden Core's body with [-]% certainty, can one perform the [Excalibur Sword and Fire Control Technique] that non-Yuanying cultivators cannot use. "

"Glass body bathed in fire?" Zhong Ziyan had never heard of this kind of innate secret technique.

"Exactly, this innate secret technique is much rarer than ordinary alchemy practitioners understand. It can transform gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and five qi into pure fire spirit power, store it in the body of its own secret technique, and display it ten times and a hundred times. Especially terrifying. The gigantic shadow that was nearly a hundred feet that day was by no means a real supernatural power, and it was probably as good as I guessed.

It's a pity that he fell too early. If he can cultivate into a Nascent Soul, he can let him roam freely in this world. "

Chen Xie sighed heavily, in his heart he regretted that he had missed a good seedling.

Zhong Ziyan saw the heart of this senior Nascent Soul who was showing his true feelings, and an inexplicable feeling of blood gushed out of his chest, alas, if everyone could be honest and honest, why would this be the case.

But after thinking about it, I can't help but feel relieved. After all, those who are gifted with secret techniques and life-saving skills can tell others when they have nothing to do. What's more, my family members have suffered many hardships for decades. Uncle Tao and himself, who take the lead, are right. Which one of the slightly critical things is not the cautiousness of thinking back and forth, who can see that the old ancestor Chen in front of him is absolutely in the same boat and with one heart.

An adult's sense of security comes from their own strength.

"The matter has come to this point, it is a foregone conclusion... Dare to ask Old Ancestor Chen, who is that Lei Ji Xingjun? What is the purpose of coming here?"

Hearing Zhong Ziyan change the subject, Chen Xie also knew what was interesting, and explained the information he got in contact with Wen Wanxiong that day:

"It's a long story. Wuliangshan's "Daluodongguan Zhenjing" was born out of one of the highest Taoist scriptures [Shangqing Baogao]. Since Shenxiao Zifu won the right to rule this world 10 years ago, This sutra and the "Ziwei Chongxu Zhenjing" together serve as an orthodox practice system and have been passed down to this day.

The beheading technique that Tao Fangyin performed that day was the real [Divine Sword and Fire Control Technique], which together with the two techniques of Yushui and Yulei were listed as the top killing techniques in the "Daluo Dongguan Scripture".Nawen Wanxiong belongs to the second part of the Six Departments of the Purple Mansion: Lei Ming Division.Since Tianlei City sensed that someone was using the same magic, he rushed to track it down.

The reason is just to inquire about the details of cultivation. This person replaces Qiu Yuanzi, the former inspector of Dongzhou, and has just been promoted to an important position. "

From the tone of his voice, Zhong Ziyan guessed that Chen Xie and Lei Wanxiong were not dealing with each other. Although there was no fear, they were probably afraid of him. It would be easy for him to deal with someone who could make him afraid.

From this point of view, there is really another immediate supervisor.

Seeing Zhong Ziyan thinking silently, Chen Xie raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "You don't need to worry, I told him clearly about the situation that day. Although this person is not broad-minded, he does things well and will not impose easily. Oppression. What's more, since you are protected by me, he doesn't have the guts to interfere secretly.

If I meet you alone in the future, it will probably be a private matter. If you have the secret scroll left by Tao Fangyin, you might as well give him a rubbing copy. "

Since that technique originally belonged to Wuliang Mountain, it wouldn't be too difficult to hand it back.Zhong Ziyan also agrees with this method, probably because his own strength is not good enough, if this is the case, then he can do whatever he wants.

"The matter here is over, I should go too, you can do it yourself." After Chen Xie said that, he wanted to leave.

Zhong Ziyan hurriedly asked the last doubt, "When my uncle left, he told me about his festival with that demon cultivator that day. I wonder how you dealt with it then, Patriarch?"

Chen Xie snorted coldly, "That person is called Green Ant, but a small character from the Yaozu has already been dismissed by Wen Wanxiong, so you don't have to worry about it. Wen Wanxiong's inauguration seems to be related to the latest pioneering war. Go check..."

The black-clothed figure disappeared in an instant, and Zhong Ziyan didn't hear the war or something murmured before leaving, but since the matter of the Yaozu Nascent Soul was cleared up, it can be regarded as breaking the cause and effect of his family.

******

It was night, Zhong Ziyan and several old Chilongmen headed by Tao Jintan were discussing in the tent, in order to speed up the restoration of order and productivity in Qingling Mountain. Now that the population is greatly reduced and disciples are scarce, there is no need to distinguish between old and new.

Set the tone for everything, and include Tao Yuanming and Tao Wangshen, two young people, in the ranks of the principals. No matter whether they are willing to take responsibility, they will not escape the end of doing things honestly.

After the four of them left, Zhu Yuzi was the only one left in the tent. It was the first time that she was alone with the Sect Leader at such a close distance. Under the Sect Leader's gaze, her usually cold and bright face became unsure of what to do, and she blushed in embarrassment.

It was different from the first time I saw this woman. Zhong Ziyan recalled slowly in his mind. At that time, she had an ordinary appearance and a hot figure, but now she has a cold and attractive face, a slender figure and stands upright. The only thing that remains unchanged is Still covered in red.

The temperament is different, and everyone has been washed and matured by the years.

After a long time, a gentle laugh broke the silence, "Cai Yuzhu, if I remember correctly, this is your lay name."

Zhu Yuzi's eyes lit up, and he blushed slightly, "The master remembers it well."

Zhong Ziyan pointed to the seat beside him, "Hahaha, sit down and talk, do you still remember the black bamboo forest back then? We went to clean up those ghosts together, and your skills were especially good at that time... In a blink of an eye, how many years have passed. "

Under the sword eyebrows, those eyes penetrated the time, and remembered things from a long, long time ago.

Zhu Yuzi sat sideways, silently reminiscing with this man. He was wearing a spiritual garment, a short skirt with a long belt, and his clean calves were blown by the cold wind from the tent, so he didn't feel too cold. The feeling is gradually gone.

Zhong Ziyan said a lot, counting those disciples who are not too close, including Zhu Yuzi, who have made a lot of contributions to Chilongmen over the years. Of course, Zhu Yuzi must be involved in this matter. Focus on.

"...I intend to abolish the ancestral rules of inner and outer sect disciples. After the opening ceremony of Qingling Mountain, I will arrange your duties one by one according to the contributions of the past few decades. In the future, I will send people regardless of their births!"

Zhu Yuzi felt the sun-like expression of the head of the sect at the side, and felt that what he was facing was a cloud of bright sun, shining brightly and scorching like a flower, and the light cast by the sun at this moment Hui Ze dispelled the grievances of himself and others like him who had worked hard for Chilongmen for many years but were not recognized as such.

"Master..." With tears in his eyes, Zhu Yuzi knelt down on the chair in front of Zhong Ziyan, and wailed in his arms.

What a strong woman in front of the world, and her age is not too different from her. Such a move shows how difficult life is for the casual cultivators in this world, alas~

The man's warm palm helped her up, and he took out a bottle of rare medicine from the storage ring, comforted her, and ordered many things, and did not leave the tent until late at night.

The moment he walked out of the tent, Zhu Yuzi felt so relieved, charming and happy, swept away the haze and grievance, and walked away.

Not long after, Song Yingxing dragged his tired figure into the account to report, and summarized the etiquettes that many forces from the Puyang River region had come to climb over the past two days.

It was only then that Zhong Ziyan found out that three days ago, even the two Yuanying Patriarchs of the Jumo Sect had visited in person to make friends.

******

On the second day, in Chengmu City in the northwest of the Puyang River, Jin Dan, the head of the Minghun Sect, returned to the City Lord's Mansion angrily:

"This is not prevarication. I am also the head of the sect after all. I just say 'come to the door to thank you' and dismiss it?"

Zhang Sandong said embarrassingly: "Master... His family has been through a great battle, and even Qingling Mountain has become such a miserable scene, and they are waiting to clean up their housework, not to mention...Senior Ziwang was also rejected by Chilongmen."

"You're the only one talking too much!" The female cultivator stared at him fiercely, calmed down and thought for a while, then calmed down, and said to herself:

"However, Sect Master Zhong is born handsome, hey, it can't be described as handsome, it has to be a bit mature... oh, it's really good!"

The corner of the mouth gradually revealed a sinister color.
