A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1247

[Chapter 1237 Winter Snow]

Xichuan finally ushered in the first snow, and this snow started from Chaowu Ridge in the western border.

For three consecutive days of snow, Chaowu Ridge was shrouded in snow, and the white snow covered the color of the black stone temple on Lianhua Peak. The stone hall itself was still wrapped in white snow.

Black Stone Hall used to be one of the most mysterious places on the rivers and lakes.

The Black Lotus Sect has always been in the west, and has not expanded its power eastward. Therefore, except for some people in Xichuan who know the existence of the Black Lotus Sect, in fact, the Black Lotus Sect has never been a sect that is like thunder in the entire rivers and lakes.

It’s just that the Black Lotus Sect became famous after the Eight Gangs and Sixteen factions attacked Chaowu Mountain, and the Black Stone Hall was naturally known to all corners of the world.

In that battle, both sides were injured. Although the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Sects suffered a lot of casualties, the Black Lotus Sect was also seriously injured.

Fortunately, under the auspices of Qi Ning, both sides compromised a step, and the poisoned Swing Qianyi accompanied Qi Ning to Beijing, and the Black Lotus Sect also promised not to seek revenge from the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Factions. Or withdraw from Chaowu Ridge.

At the beginning, Qiu Qianyi was willing to go to the capital in order to keep the Black Lotus Sect, which also made the Black Lotus Sect feel grateful to the poison envoy. Since the war, the Black Lotus Sect has indeed kept its promise, not only did not send anyone to seek revenge , and restricting the cult members not to expand to the east. In fact, after that battle, what the Black Lotus Sect needs to do most is to recuperate. Therefore, the Black Lotus Sect members also keep their duties and do not cause trouble.

Although the Black Lotus Sect and the Eight Gangs and Sixteen factions turned their feud into jade silk, Duan Qingchen, who betrayed the Black Lotus Sect, is a character that the Black Lotus Sect must never let go of. .

Duan Qingchen was hiding in the capital of Jianye, and was found by the little demon girl Anao. In the end, Duan Qingchen died in the hands of Qi Ning, but the corpse was brought back to Chaowu Ridge by Swing Yi.

The black lotus sect has strict rules, and even if Duan Qingchen died, he still received a very severe punishment. Under the auspices of Swing Yi, the black lotus sect convened the congregation and threw Duan Qingchen’s corpse into ashes in public, but the black lotus sect also Therefore, he owed Qi Ning a big favor.

Qi Ning and Swing Yi naturally had a deal, Duan Qingchen’s body was handed over to the Black Lotus Sect, and Swing Yi also cooperated with the court to secretly find the whereabouts of Lu Shanghe, the owner of Yinghe Villa.

In fact, without the imperial court’s instructions, the Black Lotus Sect itself regards Lu Shanghe as an inevitable enemy.

Eight gangs and sixteen factions attacked Chaowuling. Lu Shanghe and Duan Qingchen colluded in private, contributed the most, and caused the most damage to the Black Lotus Sect.

Originally, the Black Lotus Sect and Qi Ning had a word to seek revenge, but for Lu Shanghe, Qi Ning After opening the mouth, the Black Lotus Sect naturally cannot ask for it.

Although the Yinghe Villa was empty, and even the whereabouts of Mrs. Suying were unknown, it had been under the surveillance of the Black Lotus Sect from beginning to end, and the poisoner Swing Yi personally searched for Lu Shanghe’s whereabouts all over Xichuan.

Although Qiu Qianyi has a surly character, he is a man who keeps his promise. He promised to find Lu Shanghe’s trace for Qi Ning, and he never let it go. When Lu Shanghe appeared in the East China Sea, Qiu Qianyi didn’t get any news, and naturally he didn’t know about Lu Shanghe. Leaving Xichuan early.

The swing is easy to have something to do, the color envoy Duan Qingchen apostasy was smashed to ashes, the medical envoy Li Xigong had left the Black Lotus Sect in his early years, and among the four holy envoys of the Black Lotus Sect, only the ghost envoy Luo Wuying was in charge. total altar.

Outsiders do not know the details of the Black Lotus Sect, but the core members of the Black Lotus Sect all know that although the leader of the sect is superb in martial arts, he has practiced in seclusion in recent years and rarely shows up in front of people. Others can see the sect master Shengyan again, and the affairs of the church have always been handled by Luo Wuying and Duan Qingchen. In comparison, Luo Wuying’s prestige in the church is higher than that of Duan Qingchen, so it has become closer. The actual principal of the Black Lotus Sect.

Now that Duan Qingchen was killed for his apostasy, Luo Wuying could only support Chaowu Ridge alone.

Some lower-level believers saw that the Black Lotus Sect had already shown some signs of decline, and they could not help but sigh when they recalled the glory days of the Holy Sect.

Back then, the sect leader created the Black Lotus Sect and recruited strange people. The two elders of Taiyin and Xuanyang were both amazing and brilliant, and the four holy envoys were also powerful characters who played their own roles. Department, and even received the awe of many Miao people in private. At that time, it was really majestic. If it wasn’t for the fact that the seventy-two Miao family believed in the great witch, the great witch was always regarded as the belief of the Miao family, and the leader did not want to be with the great witch. If there is a conflict, I am afraid that the Black Lotus Sect has already controlled the entire Xichuan and dominated one side.

Elder Xuanyang apostates and fled, and the disciples of the Xuanyang family were almost wiped out. Elder Taiyin went down the mountain to pursue Xuanyang, but he never returned. In the end, someone sent a side weapon, and he died outside.

Among the four holy envoys, the medical envoy Li Xigong angrily left the holy sect due to the eradication of the elder Xuanyang’s lineage, while the sex envoy Duan Qingchen followed in the footsteps of the elder Xuanyang, and was killed for apostasy. When attacking the Black Lotus Sect, many elites were killed in battle and suffered heavy losses. The Black Lotus Sect, which flourished in the western frontier, is now extremely weak. It took more than ten years to think that the sect leader was talented at the time. Only then did the Black Lotus Sect have control over the West Frontier. Now that the Sacred Sect has been hurt, and if he wants to return to its heyday, he doesn’t know what year and month it will be.

But the congregation is convinced that as long as the leader is there, the Holy Church will one day make a comeback.

It is precisely because of this that the Black Lotus Sect is still in an orderly manner. Chaowu Ridge is under the control of the Black Lotus Sect for dozens of miles. The Miao people in this area do not need to pay taxes to the government for farming and hunting. , the tax is directly collected by the Black Lotus Sect, which is also an important source of income for the Black Lotus Sect, and the local government also knows that this is the territory of the Black Lotus Sect, and does not come to provoke it.

The ghost envoy Luo Wuying was born in Huamiao, and he bowed his head under the sect master’s knees. Of course, it was because he feared the sect master in his heart, but the most important reason was to revitalize the Miao people’s great cause.

Ordinary believers know that the Black Lotus Sect exists to protect the interests of the Miao people, but only by thinking of core figures like Luo Wuying, can they know the original intention of the leader who founded the Black Lotus Sect. Under the return of the two caves, a country completely belonging to the Miao people was established in Xichuan. For this reason, the leader was also actively preparing for this. Although the leader did not want to have a head-on conflict with the Dawu, he did not want to forcibly return the seventy-two holes. Under the banner, but it still expanded its power to the 72nd Cave of the Miao Family.

The most direct method is to select suitable talents from the seventy-two caves of the Miao family, and use various methods to let them join the teaching. When the time is ripe, you can use these people to return to their respective caves. With the support of the Black Lotus Sect and taking the position of the cave master, the Black Lotus Sect naturally would not directly confront the Great Sorceress, but it would use this hand to erode the control of the seventy-two caves. Of course, this was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

The second elder of Xuanyang Taiyin and the fourth holy envoy were not reckless. They knew that although the leader of martial arts was strong, if he controlled the seventy-two caves with strong means, not only would he not be able to make the seventy-two caves submit to their hearts and minds, on the contrary, it would lead to the Miao family being against each other. The hatred of the Black Lotus Sect, although the method of the leader is extremely time-consuming, it is the most suitable method.

In fact, after using this method, the Black Lotus Sect has already controlled several caves in the Miao family. These caves are mainly distributed in the surrounding area of Chaowu Ridge. Compared with Dawu, these caves are more intimate to the Black Lotus Sect. Everything is not fanciful, so there are not many Miao people who know the inside story.

Many years ago, the Black Lotus Sect used this method to gradually expand, but that civil strife disrupted the Black Lotus Sect’s plans. Elder Xuanyang defected and fled, and the Black Lotus Sect was purged. It seems that the plan to continue to expand has been lost, and it rarely shows up in front of people. Therefore, the Black Lotus Sect has only been in a corner in recent years, and has not continued to expand eastward.

There are hundreds of followers of the Black Lotus Sect, which are distributed all over Chaowu Ridge. After the last war, the Black Lotus Sect has rebuilt various levels in Chaowu Ridge, and has also sent additional personnel to guard it. In addition, the intensity of patrolling It has also been greatly strengthened. Although an agreement has been reached with the imperial court, Luo Wuying knows that the future of the Black Lotus Sect cannot be pinned on an agreement, and no one can guarantee that the Divine Marquis Mansion will one day bring people to comeback and control their own destiny. In the hands, is the most pragmatic path.

Although the heavy snowfall for two days and three days finally stopped, the congregation did not neglect the patrols. There are more than a dozen teams in Chaowu Ridge carefully inspecting each place in their respective responsible areas. Each team has eight people who take turns on duty. .

Stepping on the snow-covered mountain, it made a creaking sound. The leader of the front team was wearing a floral turban, while the followers behind were all wearing black turbans. UU Kanshu www.sonicmtl.com The team is orderly and all are They are wearing scimitars on their waists, and everyone puts their hands on the hilt of the sword to be on guard at all times.

This is a narrow and long stone road in the valley. There are mountain walls on both sides. When patrolling in winter, it is the most comfortable thing to pass through such a mountain road, because the mountain walls on both sides block the cold wind and do not have to withstand the cold wind like a knife. .

Seeing that he was about to walk out of the mountain pass, the little leader in front suddenly saw something falling from the sky not far in front of him. It was as black as a stone falling from the mountain. He was slightly startled, stopped, and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. Hearing a “poof” sound, the thing fell not far ahead.

The leader frowned, and occasionally there were falling rocks on the mountain, which was not uncommon.

It’s just that the thing in front doesn’t look like a stone.

The leader couldn’t help raising his head, and the disciples behind him couldn’t help but look up. When he looked up and saw the mountain walls on both sides, everyone was shocked. With a look of horror, his lips trembled, and he finally made a voice: “Hurry up… hurry up and report to the ghost…!”
