Chapter 178: Twilight
Compared with Yuzhou's Zhou Xing, the news that Tai'an Mountain was wiped out arrived at Yunxiao Sect first.
The boiling soup situation in the sect immediately cooled down.
Most people breathed a sigh of relief.
Hong Xuan, the master of the torture hall, complained: "The big one has finally returned to the mountain!" ”
What's big?
For the sect, the strength is not big, and the one who can solve the problem is counted.
Since the Horseshoe Valley incident, Zhou Xing has become a figure that all major sects have secretly paid attention to, including the Yunxiao Sect.
Zhou Xing returned to the north, entered the jurisdiction of the Yunxiao Sect, and joined the Zhou family monks, and the upper echelons of the sect knew about it almost immediately.
Even the intention of its eastward journey was only guessed.
But very few guessed the results.
They all thought that Zhou Xing would kill a wave of invading monks on the front line, or rob mortals in reverse. After all, the name of the 'Ark of Doom' is known all over the world, carrying millions of people, which is already comparable to the legendary Shenzhou that migrated across the border.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xing didn't break his wrist, but directly smashed the elbow of the God of War Temple.
The first of the four strongholds outside the Temple of War; There are more than 500 resident monks; The immortal plug that can be called a branch hall; plus its predecessor, a Xuanmen complex that has existed for nearly 10,000 years; It was thoroughly wiped clean.
The cognitive impact of this incident is no longer simply how many people have been killed, but can be compared with the Sect Destroying Sect, and it is particularly shocking because it can be done by one person alone.
The main reason for the shock is naturally that the effect is good and the cost is low.
If Horseshoe Valley was an audition, this time it was a play, which not only proved the effectiveness, but also proved the repeatability.
From the beginning of the fall to the final landing, there is about half a cup of tea.
At that time, the monks of the War God Temple, who were in Tai'an Mountain, naturally had a lot of stress and had a super sense of warning, and resisted.
For example, forming a formation to protect themselves or intercepting Feilai Peak.
Another example is to immediately escape by blood or by using a magic weapon to escape.
As a result, except for the two high cultivators who escaped from the ground, all of them fell, all the souls and flesh were destroyed, and the bones were gone.
This detail is enough to prove the qualification of this kind of strike as a strategic weapon.
What makes people even more envious and jealous is that now, and for a long time in the future, it is a means that belongs exclusively to Zhou Xing.
The Taixu Palace does still have the Taixu Warship.
The integrity of the Taixu Warship obtained by the Houtu Sect is also high, and it can break through the Gangqi layer.
However, without a powerful Cave Portal technology, there is no way to achieve a practical-level rapid strike.
Taking the Houtu Sect as an example, they are indeed the best of the five to build the Cave Heaven, and they can also do it by organically combining the Cave Heaven Portal with the Flying Spaceship.
But they couldn't pour a large amount of matter out of the cave at once.
Some people may say that it is completely possible to take your time, even if the Sect Great Array level is discovered, it is impossible to cross the thick and high-energy Gangfeng layer and find the flying ship outside the realm in time.
It can't be detected, but the problem is that the monk has a supersensory warning.
Not to mention assembling it on the spot overhead, even if it is assembled outside the boundary, transported in place and then thrown, it can still be warned in time.
The reason why Zhou Xing did it was mainly because he could do the sudden change operation of 'being a lone astronaut one moment, and smashing a satellite city the next moment'.
Suddenness is the highlight of this approach.
This unique craftsmanship suddenly became an important means for the Yunxiao Sect to solve the problems of external troubles, and it also made Zhou Xing's status further reach a height comparable to that of the Mahayana, or even better than the Mahayana.
Such a senior cultivator of the Zhen Sect, no matter from which point of view, has a sufficient reason for the cultivators of the sect to wait for him to return.
On a rainy autumn day, Zhou Xing returned to the Yunxiao Sect.
The overall appearance of the sect gave him a very bad impression.
The auxiliary blow during the assassination of Fu Shan, the sequelae of which are now fully highlighted.
In this assassination, the specific tactics of Taixu Palace are to poison and kill people + close the door and beat the dog.
Poison is specifically the power of evil and filth.
The filthy bomb created by the ghost cultivators of the Underworld Sect is considered an extraordinary version of the dirty bomb.
After Zhou Xing and Yu Wushuang learned more about her specific experiences in the Abyss, they believed that the raw material for the Filthy Bomb was precisely the Yin Naku of the Abyss.
There is too much backlog of crystallization yin evil power there, which is very convenient for ghost cultivators to use.
And the collapse of the abyss is also related to it.
After all, both the Hanhai Sect and the Houtu Sect will regularly check the situation in Naku.
Even if there is a spy covering up + dereliction of duty, it is difficult to go undetected for a long time.
And the collapse of the abyss can cover up the truth that a large amount of yin essence has been sucked away.
The Taixu Palace used spies to transport explosive bombs into the Yunxiao Sect, and then detonated them during assassination.
This strategy was not so much to divert the tiger from the mountain, but rather to give the monks of the Yunxiao Sect who didn't want to rescue Fu Shan at all a grand excuse.
There is another excuse, that is, the Heaven and Earth Lock Yuan Array.
This formation is the strongest protective array of Moyun Peak, but in this assassination operation, it has become the key to the cultivators of the sect who cannot attack Moyun Peak in time and support Fu Mountain.
The formation was opened, isolated from the inside and outside, and the Mahayana monks were helpless.
As for such a formation, how was it manipulated and mastered by the people of the Taixu Palace.
At present, I have also found out a rough idea.
The turbidity tide is coming suddenly, and all the mountains of the sect have opened the magic circle to ensure the concentration of the aura in the immortal mountain.
It was by taking this opportunity that some of the magic circles in Moyun Mountain also needed to be inspected and adapted, and as a result, they were manipulated.
Therefore, Fu Shan died after being besieged in Moyun Peak, and after the incident was completed, the assassins successfully escaped by using the secret passage.
It can be said that Taixu Palace's method of assassinating Fu Shan is more shocking than Fu Shan's assassination itself.
After all, the Heaven and Earth Lock Yuan Array and the Secret Dao are the core members of the Sect and the Seed Members who are guaranteed to evacuate safely in the context of the sect's suffering.
It can be called the secret of the last retreat, knowing the specific situation of the disciples is not one in a thousand, and there is no one in a thousand who are qualified to inspect and maintain, but it is only being mastered and used by outsiders, which is far more than irony.
It is precisely because of this that another big problem arises: people's hearts are scattered.
In the idealistic civilization system, the dispersion and comparison of people's hearts will not only cause such problems as the team, but also directly lead to technical problems.
Every monk is a powerful spiritual force field radiation source far beyond mortals.
Among them, the emotions related to the sect have been interacting with the entire sect realm, and have been guided and accommodated by a certain proportion.
The operation of the sect's great array requires qualified spiritual power.
In essence, it is very similar to the power of faith in its application. Obtaining a dash is relatively more liberal and free. It's like a donation box for spiritual power, and whether you donate or not is all in people's hearts.
And the array mage who specializes in maintaining the operation of the sect's great array is to use his own strength to drive all forces to operate this super large array that covers a huge range.
As soon as the people's hearts are scattered and the strength of the people is exhausted, the great array of the sect can reflect the bad situation.
Moreover, the combination of a large number of negative emotions and the negative power that remains here and cannot be cleared away in time creates a kind of overt depressive energy, which makes the environment that originally looked like a clean white handkerchief lose its luster and cleanliness as if it had been splashed with sewage, so it gives people a very bad feeling.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the monk's keen senses.
In any case, what is the overall situation of a Xuanmen sect, and if you taste the overall perception of its sect, you will basically know it.
This is also a major reason why the Imperial Sword Gate and the Temple of the God of War dared to occupy territories on the border and loot the population after Fu Shan's assassination.
It's hard to hear, today's Yunxiao Sect has been revealed.
Zhou Xing knew at this time that Dengyun City was the hardest hit area of filthy bombs, and he paid special attention to it when he passed by. It turned out to be worse than he expected.
If you think about it a little, you can understand why.
Against the backdrop of a serious lack of centripetal force and huge losses to small factions and groups, it has become a common phenomenon for families to sweep the snow in front of their own doors, and free people who do not have sufficient shelter are less concerned after the disaster, and they have received very little relief.
He knows that in terms of disaster relief, Zhou Valve's performance can be called the first in the family.
On the one hand, he helped Zhouvalve sort out the real estate before, so that every important industry of Zhouvalve is in a state of benign operation, and then when a disaster occurs, there is almost no need to worry about it, and he can take out more strength to help others.
On the other hand, before he left the sect to accompany Yu Wushuang to the province of Houtu Sect, he threw a large number of yang qi talismans and turbidity talismans to Zhou Valve.
His talisman workshop, mass production, never stops, so it is easy to save a large number of talismans.
Due to the need to maintain operation, it is natural that it is not allowed to be sold. Specifically, it is wholesale to Zhou Valve.
Anyway, these prices are very low, the quantity is sufficient, and they are down-to-earth, and they are not worried about selling.
As a result, these talismans have become the mainstream choice for the people of Dengyun City to keep the environment of their mansions safe and clean after the disaster.
This is also a kind of helplessness, after all, this kind of extraordinary pollution, comparable to nuclear pollution, is harmful to cultivators, let alone ordinary people.
However, Zhou Valve's efforts are still very limited in their help to Dengyun City as a whole.
The bad influence caused by the assassination of the eighteenth generation head couple has not yet subsided, and this is another ......
Zhou Xing could clearly feel the feelings of unease, resentment, alienation, and sadness diffusing in this majestic city.
The knowledge that he was unable to return and would collapse at any time surfaced in his mind, and his mood became a lot heavier.
He calculated that with his ability, if he was willing to invest the value of three small spiritual veins, he could make a big difference in the situation in front of him.
But don't say that he doesn't have three small spiritual veins on hand, even if he has, he can't save this emergency.
The real problem of Dengyun City is mainly a system problem. No individual can fill this hole, and neither should it.
Leaving Dengyun City, he went straight to Yingxian Peak, this peak can be understood as the martyr's cemetery of the sect, and there are not many sect monks who are qualified to bury their bones here.
There are special guards here all year round, and Zhou Xing has had the experience of sacrificing and sweeping, so he knows the rules here.
After checking his identity, he walked up the mountain to pay tribute to Fu Mountain, and a rotating monk was not far away.
This is not a special treatment, but a courtesy that every monk who goes up the mountain on a non-worship day receives. It's really a courtesy, after all, there are not many people who are qualified to go up this mountain on non-worship days.
came in front of the Fu Mountain Monument, stood in silence for three minutes, and left a sentence: I have already begun to get used to you as the head...... Then he bowed three times and left.
After going down the mountain, take the black iron boat back to the Zhou valve clan. Along the way, I could clearly feel that the general environment within the sect had fallen from the spiritual land level to the wilderness level before the turbidity tide.
You must know that even during the Cultivation War, the general environment within the sect was still at the blessed land level.
It's only been a few years, and it's been a decadence.
The scene of the Zhou clan is in stark contrast to the outside world.
The illusion of the mirage under the action of the immortal weapon Dayan Shifang Mirror did not work on him, so what he saw was the real scene.
Entering this blessed land full of spiritual energy, there is a sense of cleanliness from the mudslide and jumping into the mineral water swimming pool.
Not long after returning to the Ethereal Peak, Feixin came in droves, basically asking when he had free time and wanted to visit.
Even Ji Ying, Yang Sheng, and Yuan Hu all seemed polite and rusty.
Zhou Xing can understand. Before, they could pretend that they could ignore the difference in strength and get along with each other as equals.
Now the gap is too big to pretend.
In the future, he can interact with him on an equal footing, he can only be a high cultivator, and the transformation period is reluctant, and then down, he can only be a junior courtesy.
Feixin was not in a hurry to reply, he planned to make specific arrangements after communicating with Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong spent most of his time sitting in the clan land, and knowing that Zhou Xing would return in the next few days, he even deliberately ordered him to go down and pushed forward all the arrangements that might go out in the near future.
Today, after receiving the message from the mountain gate that Zhou Xing returned to the mountain, he immediately sorted out the reception preparations again, so as not to make any mistakes at that time.
Zhou Tong knew that for people who were relatively close, Zhou Xing would be more casual in terms of etiquette.
For example, this visit is usually in the morning, but it is possible to travel in the afternoon during the week, but it is not possible to arrive in the evening.
Sure enough, when Zhou Xing went to Yingxian Peak, Zhou Tong received a message from Zhou Xing, saying that he would visit in the afternoon.
In the middle of the day, Zhou Tong came to the door with Yu Wushuang.
Yu Wushuang was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and soon went to a sisters' tea party with Zhou Xin.
Zhou Xing and Zhou Tong were talking about business in the study.
As the saying goes, entering the room and talking in the study, not in the main hall, reflects the change in the degree of intimacy with each other.
In fact, the two sides have not been intimate to that extent, at least Zhou Xing is still a little bit less meaningful.
But he didn't mind cooperating with Zhou Tong to act.
After all, Zhou Tong is in a certain way, just like a king, family affairs are state affairs, and there are many pairs of eyes looking at it in the open and in the dark, and analyzing the meaning represented by the appearance.
Zhou Tong knows that Zhou Xing has a strong sense of time, and likes efficient communication with a good and fast pace and plenty of dry goods. After a few pleasantries, he went straight to the topic.
The main thing is to explain the changes and development of the situation during this period of time.
Many of the contents belong to secrets, and it is inconvenient to tell them through Feixin or relay them to others.
In fact, for Zhou Xing, the value of these secrets is not great, after all, he has already set the core theme, and the general strategy will not change.
But he still patiently listened to Zhou Tong's statement.
Even if it was concise, it was said for more than an hour.
Then Zhou Xing said: "I personally support the integrity of the sect. Emotions are not the main reason. The actual need is. Specifically, the sect, and even the Xuanmen, have the need to huddle together for warmth. This is also the main reason why I released "Innate Yuan Qigong". ”
Zhou Tongting's heart was shocked, Zhou Xing had almost made it clear that there was a catastrophe like the collapse of the abyss that swept the world, therefore, the mortal world needed intensive three-dimensional production like Ningzhou City, and Xuanmen needed a closer group.
At this time, I listened to Zhou Xing and said: "Regarding the current bad situation, my thinking is to clarify the industry, distinguish between public and private, and sit in the village with a big fist, every 100 years."
It doesn't sound like anything new, for hundreds of years, the sect has been trying to clarify the industry, but it has never been successful.
But I can do it because I have the skills I need to do it, including killing people. ”
Zhou Xing continued: "Three days later, I will announce my proposition to the public, and on the next seven days, I will make a choice according to the situation, and there is a high probability that I will kill some of my fellow disciples." ”……
