Chapter 176: Lanyue Sect? Troublemaker! Open the gates!
After rewarding people based on their merits, the elders, led by the four elders of the Huode Sect, looked at Huo Kunlun and others with ferocious eyes, as if they wanted to eat them!
When they dispersed, Lin Fan said to Su Xinghai: "Great Elder, the day of opening the mountain gate is approaching. This year, without the obstruction of the Ximen family, there should be many people coming."
"Our Lanyue Sect is becoming more and more powerful, so we must do this well."
"Don't worry, Sect Master!"
Su Xinghai patted his chest loudly: "If I can't even do such a small thing, I don't deserve to be in this position. I'd better find a piece of tofu and kill myself!"
"Hahaha, that's too serious."
Lin Fan was in a good mood.
We have survived another crisis, and at least we can enjoy ourselves for another year!!!
Moreover, watching the sect becoming more and more powerful, he really felt the pleasure of playing a development game and constantly improving.
Now, the five elders have all turned to practice the Moon-Swallowing Immortal Art, and their cultivation and combat power have skyrocketed.
The second elder has entered the sixth realm!
The other four elders are already at the eighth and ninth levels of the fifth realm, and are not far from the sixth realm.
Among the inner sect disciples, the strongest has already reached the seventh or eighth level of the third realm.
As long as they can continue to develop, in another ten or eight years at most, even if he and the cheaters are no longer around, the Lanyue Sect will be able to stand on its own!
By then, even if we can't defeat the first-rate sects, there's nothing wrong in dealing with the second-rate sects.
"Moreover, this incident has made me make a new discovery."
"Well... I can't say it's a brand new discovery. It's something I've thought about before, but it hasn't been verified. Now, I can finally confirm it."
"Crisis can be 'hedged'!"
"I remember when I first thought that most of the main character templates were Novice Village Destroyers, I comforted myself that perhaps the risks could be hedged between multiple main character templates."
"This time... should it be considered as such?"
“The crisis of Mahayana Buddhism originates from Suyan.”
"And the Hidden Soul Hall originated from Xiao Ling'er."
"Originally, if any of them came alone, it would have been a huge test for the Lanyue Sect, but when they showed up together, they started fighting each other first."
"Isn't this a perfect confirmation of my conjecture?"
"Of course, the reason why this crisis was so easy was because of Xiao Long Nu and the Guan Tian Mirror."
"With the celestial mirror here, even the arhats of Mahayana Buddhism wouldn't dare to act recklessly."
"I just don't know what the Namo Gatlin Bodhisattva will choose."
“···”
Lin Fan was a little worried.
But again, everything that can be done has been done.
He couldn't think of a better solution.
In this case, all we can do is wait.
······
Mahayana Buddhism, the little monk and the Eighteen Arhats are back.
He still looked flustered.
They then went to find Namo Gatlin Bodhisattva to report their experiences.
However, when Namo Gatling Bodhisattva saw that they returned empty-handed, he became furious.
"What the hell do you guys do for food?"
"I asked you to bring back my beloved disciple, but you went to chop off other people's heads for fun?"
"You turned a deaf ear to my words, didn't you?"
"ah?!"
The monks, both big and small, knelt down on the ground, trembling, and said, "Buddha, please calm down. We did not do this on purpose, but there were many unexpected events on this trip."
"Please allow me to explain in detail..."
"good."
Namo Gatlin Bodhisattva laughed angrily: "I will give you some time to see how you can quibble!"
"explain!"
“···”
They breathed a sigh of relief and quickly recounted every detail of their experience. They added, "We never expected that the Moon-Raising Sect would have such a relationship with the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land."
"Even the Sky-viewing Mirror is in the Lanyue Sect. This matter is of great importance, and we dare not make a decision on our own..."
"Besides, we can't beat him."
"You can't beat him, but you don't know how to contact me?"
Namo Gatlin Bodhisattva glared: "Am I afraid of the Wanhua Holy Land?"
Arhat Jianglong touched his shiny forehead and trembled as he said, "Also, that...the leader of the Lanyue Sect and his disciples all said that they have been communicating with you for a long time."
"Um?"
The Bodhisattva, like an angry Vajra, cursed: "What the hell have I been communicating with them for?"
"You guys are so fucking confused from chanting the sutras, aren't you?"
"You all believe this?"
"Go, go back immediately and bring my disciple back to me. If my disciple runs away, I will peel off your skin!"
“Bodhisattva…Bodhisattva.” The Subduing Tiger Arhat trembled and said, “This is too bizarre, and we don’t believe it, but he told us that it was Lin Fan, also known as the Venerable Barrett.”
"There is another disciple, called the Artificial Sun Fist Monk..."
"What they said was very convincing and it was related to you, the Bodhisattva. We dare not be careless or make any hasty conclusions, so we rushed back to report to you as soon as possible."
"If what they say is false, we will definitely fight back immediately."
They didn't even dare to raise their heads at this moment.
He didn't even dare to scan randomly with his spiritual sense.
Therefore, no one noticed that at this moment, Namo Gatlin Bodhisattva's expression was extremely wonderful and a bit excited!
"Venerable Barrett."
"Artificial Sun Fist Monk..."
"In other words, there are two more fellow villagers?"
"Moreover, they have actually recognized each other and become master and apprentice?"
"This is a bit bizarre."
He muttered, "I've been here for so many years, and I've never found any trace of my fellow villagers. They even named me Gatling and used Gatling as their weapon."
"I never thought that two of them would suddenly appear just as I was leaving. And they were forced to reveal their identities under such circumstances. It's quite interesting."
He sighed secretly.
Once upon a time, I tried my best to find my fellow villagers, but found nothing.
I don't know how many years have passed, I had given up long ago, but suddenly they popped up, and there were more than one~!
At this moment, he suddenly had an impulse.
That is, he immediately appeared in front of Lin Fan and others, dismissed their attendants, had a long conversation with them, expressed his longing for his hometown, and talked about the past with the thinking and tone of a modern person.
But then he suppressed the thought.
"So many years have passed, there's no need to rush."
"It's not the right time to go there now."
He was a little helpless, but he smiled freely.
What does it matter?
After years of practice, his heart has become as hard as a rock, but only a trace of softness remains in the deepest part of his heart.
"Since we are from the same hometown, I think you understand this. My good disciple is in the same situation with them. It's a pity that there is no one to inherit this legacy."
"Don't wait until I'm gone and Mahayana Buddhism becomes a place where filth and dirt are hidden..."
"Forget it, forget it. I won't be around by then, so why would I care about these things?"
"Besides, there is still some time. Maybe there will be another opportunity to accept a disciple later."
"We can talk about contacting each other later if we have the chance."
He pondered secretly.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, the young monk plucked up the courage to say, "Bodhisattva, what do you mean..."
"What do you mean, Laozi?"
Namo Gatling Bodhisattva narrowed his eyes and said, "Humph, I've thought about it again. It's not your fault. After all, it's related to the Wanhua Holy Land."
"Go down."
"That's right."
"Those two are indeed my good friends who I have known for a long time."
"In the future, unless it is necessary, you must not target the Lanyue Sect."
Really?!
Amitabha!
The young monks and arhats were all shocked, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.
They thought of many possibilities, but they never thought that the big boss would admit it himself.
It was at this moment that they couldn't help but think wildly, wondering what the relationship was between this big guy and Lin Fan and the others. After all, the two of them were clearly only in their twenties.
Could it be...
The reincarnation of a great being from previous eras? !
Could it be... that there really is reincarnation?!
······
Inside the Hidden Soul Hall.
The deputy hall master looked at the many guardians and elders present with a grim look, and his expression gradually became colder.
"You're all very nice."
"Most of the tasks assigned by this deputy hall master were completed successfully. Even if there were some shortages, it was not a big problem. However, the group of Jiu Hufa and others from the southwest region greatly disappointed this hall master!"
The many elders and guardians below looked at each other in curiosity.
"The mission in the southwest region failed?"
"Where are the Jiu Guardian and his men?"
"Is he being punished?"
"This is a bit strange. Among the eight regions, only the Southwest Region is the most scattered. There are thousands of sects, which can be described as a pile of loose sand. It should be the easiest, right?"
"They can't even complete the mission in the Southwest Region. If they go to other regions, their performance will be even worse. Dharma Protector Jiu... is so incompetent~!"
"The mission of the Southwest Region cannot be completed. Protector Jiu has failed in his duty!"
"Deputy Palace Master, I suggest that the Protector Jiu be severely punished!"
"He should be fired!"
Some are surprised and suspicious.
There are also people who take advantage of others' misfortunes.
After all, it is a huge, top-notch force, with complex intricacies and fierce internal struggles.
However, the deputy hall master snorted coldly: "Dismissal? No need."
"Even the flower drum was taken away, and you are still dismissed?"
"He is not derelict in his duty, he is incompetent!"
The message has not yet come back.
So, they didn't know what was going on.
However, the life tablets of Jiu Hufa and others in the Hidden Soul Hall had exploded, so they knew that Jiu Hufa and others were already dead!
The demon sect is inherently "brutal" and only cares about their own interests, without any humanity at all.
At this moment, there will naturally not be any good words.
"Dead?"
The guardians and elders were stunned, and then became even more unscrupulous.
“Good death!”
"Incompetent indeed."
"Humph, as the golden guardian of my Hidden Soul Palace, he died in the Southwest Region. He is too incompetent."
"It's better to die early, don't bring shame to others and make my palace a laughing stock."
"Is it funny?"
At this moment, a cold and questioning voice was heard from outside the hall.
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see the youngest Protector Li striding towards them. He was breathing rapidly and his breath was extremely weak, and it seemed that he would faint at any moment, but he was extremely angry and aggrieved.
“我问你们，很好笑吗？”
“哼！”
一位长老怒斥：“李护法，你不过是一铜牌护法罢了，也敢如此放肆？莫要忘了自己的身份！”
“不错！”
“何况，你等随鸠护法一同前往西南域执行任务，却因为无能导致近乎全军覆没，他们都死了，唯有你一人逃回来，还有脸在此饶舌？”
“就连一盘散沙的西南域都无法搞定，难道不好笑？”
“好笑是吧？”
李护法神色狰狞，宛若鬼魅：“好，那我就告诉你等，什么叫好笑！”
“无能就是无能！”
“你还要狡辩？”
众人呵斥。
副殿主却是冷声道：“住口！”
“李护法，你且细细道来，究竟发生了什么！”
“是，副殿主。”李护法这才深吸一口气，强行平复心境，怒道：“绝非鸠护法无能！原本，我等已将任务完成十之八九，只需最后一票，便可圆满完成、归来！”
“数日前我们选定最后目标，并于日前动手。”
“在那之前，我等已做好一切准备，依据情报网络、开动脑筋，几乎将一切都做到圆满程度。”
“但，直到动手之后，才发现，我等都错了错的离谱！”
“揽月宗···根本不像表面看到那般简单，甚至深藏不漏都远远不足以形容！”
“揽月宗？”
众人诧异。
副殿主眉头一皱：“说下去。”
李护法拱了拱手，惨笑道：“其余人等，我等都有所防备，倒是不足为惧，但谁也未曾想到，我等正要动手之时，大乘佛教的人到了。”
“大乘佛教？”
众人皆惊，更有不少人惊呼出声。
“那些秃驴为何会在？”
“若是那些秃驴···”
“并非普通死秃驴！”李护法咬牙切齿：“而是十八罗汉皆至！”
“我等隐魂殿众人，遭遇大乘佛教十八罗汉，会发生什么，无需本护法多言吧？”
“大战一触即发，鸠护法拼死率领我等拼死对敌，但却终究是不敌，圣地底蕴远超想象，十八罗汉的战力，也是堪称无敌。”
“伏虎一人便让我等丢盔弃甲。”
“十八罗汉齐上，我等甚至撑不过一个回合。”
“其后，诸位护法为了掩护同门，尽皆拼死血战，但却接连遭了毒手，最终，只剩下我一人好运，逃出生天···”
副殿主深深看了李护法一眼，暗道这小子不简单。
都是魔门中人，且都是千年的狐狸，你小子骗得过谁？
为了掩护同门，全部拼死血战？
呵。
我怎么不知道他们那么好？
什么时候那些自私自利的家伙，都会为同门而拼死了？
本殿主做梦都不敢梦到这种情况啊~！
但他没多说什么，如今，其他人都已死了，拆穿李护法也没什么好处，何况，如此一来，至少鸠护法等人死的‘好听’一些。
只是···
这小子，怕不是把其他人都‘献祭’了，才能活着回来吧？
如此心狠手辣。
还这般年轻，倒是个好苗子。
他没觉得有什么不妥。
心狠手辣，献祭同门？
嗨，在魔门之中，谁不是心狠手辣？不心狠手辣，能在魔门生存下来，甚至成为隐魂殿护法？笑话！
至于献祭同门，魔门中人都会立下誓言，无法对同门出手，所以献祭最多也就是让其他人挡枪，因此，这也算不得什么不得了之事。
甚至，如此心狠手辣、敢打敢拼之人，反倒是会被魔门高层更加看重。
不仅仅是副殿主。
其他长老、护法，也能猜到这些，但他们只是目光闪烁，并未打断。
毕竟，若是换了自己面对那种情况，也未必能有多好的表现啊。
就算真卖队友了又如何？
不怕自己卖队友，就怕卖的不够快，反倒是被别人抢了先。
这不。
鸠护法那老家伙便是如此。
一把年纪，反倒是被这小家伙给卖了，落的个身死道消之局，当真是···啧啧啧。
只是，看不出来啊。
这位小李护法如此年轻，便这般心狠手辣且‘机灵’，日后，可得小心谨慎、好好提防才是。
他们心思急转。
李护法却是悲愤交加：“试问，面对大乘佛教十八罗汉联手，在座各位，除副殿主之外，谁敢言胜？”
“谁，又敢言全身而退？”
“莫说是全身而退，我就问，你们谁敢言自己一定能活下来？”
一群金牌、银牌护法，乃至长老被怼的口歪眼斜，却愣是没人吭声。
圣地终究是圣地。
十八罗汉···算是大乘佛教的专业打手。
算不得多强，但却也算是门面之一。
一般而言，十八罗汉也就够用了。
毕竟，他们不仅仅只有自身实力，还有大乘佛教在身后背书，那可是圣地！打不过的不敢打，打的过的···一般也不敢打。
菩萨？甚至‘佛’？
除非有大事发生，否则，还用不着他们出手。
他们之中，修为已达第八境的，不算太少。
但与十八罗汉交手，却是没几人有底气。
修为，毕竟不能代表绝对战力，圣地中人，底蕴太过惊人了。
尤其是十八罗汉这等专业打手，技能、装备、辅助物品都是顶级。
“这也就罢了！”
李护法声如泣血：“若只是十八罗汉，我等或许还不会这般凄惨，可是···谁知，更大的恐怖还在后面！”
“大恐怖？”
“什么大恐怖？”
他们吃惊。
好家伙，圣地之人出手都不算什么，还有大恐怖？？？
你吹牛麻皮呢？
“疑似万花圣母出手，观天镜现世！！！”
“哪怕当时我已在鸠护法他们的掩护之下跑出很远，都依旧能感受到那无比恐怖波动！观天镜拍下的瞬间，好似整个天地、宇内万物都崩溃了。”
“甚至我的心跳乃至神魂都被冻结。”
“若非关键时刻那位收了手，我必然也是回不来的。”
顿了顿，他喘着粗气，目光扫过在场所有护法、长老，道：“敢问诸位，面临此等状况，谁又敢说自己能完成任务。”
“甚至，谁敢说自己定然能活下来，安然无恙！？”
众人面色发白。
甚至有人浑身一抖。
“观···观天镜？”
“这不可能！”
“观天镜乃万花圣地镇教仙器！你说十八罗汉出现，尚且可以理解，可是万花圣母与观天镜？绝无此种可能！”
“你休要胡言乱语！”
李护法大怒：“胡言乱语？”
“好好好，当时得见者众，想来不久之后便会有消息传回来，是真是假，到时候你们自会知晓！”
“够了！”
副殿主挥手，哼道：“我相信李护法。”
“何况，此事并非没有可能。”
“啊？！”众人震撼莫名：“此事都还不无可能？”
“怎么会！”
“堂堂万花圣母，怎么可能去···”
“有这种可能！”副殿主打断众人的话语，极为笃定，道：“当年之事已经过去万余年，有些久远。”
“且当初万花圣地极力隐藏，因此，这也算是一个小秘密，知晓之人不多。”
他叹道：“揽月宗与万花圣地之间，本就有些莫名其妙的关系。”
“像是仇敌，却又像是自家人，有些乱。”
“我也不知他们之间到底发生了什么，但据我所知，揽月宗之所以能留下一点火苗、不曾被覆灭道统，便是因万花圣地相护。”
“既然万花圣地曾经护过揽月宗一次，这一次，也未必没有可能。”
“只是···”
“若真是如此，便代表揽月宗与万花圣地之间的关系，只怕远非旁人所猜测那般简单，且非比寻常啊！”
说完，也不去理会震撼的众人，副殿主又道：“西南域如今怕是多事之秋，暂且不宜再往，楼护法，你带人再走一趟，去其他几域将所需神补齐！”
“否则，若是耽搁殿主大事，我等都得死！”
“是，副殿主！”
楼护法深知此事重要性，不敢耽搁，立刻带人前往。
“都退下吧。”
副殿主挥挥手：“李护法留下。”
很快。
殿内只剩下他们二人。
副殿主微微沉吟，道：“李护法，我知晓你与揽月宗有些仇怨，但如今你也看到了，揽月宗很不简单！”
“有仇报仇、有怨报怨，本是天经地义，但你却也要掌握好分寸。”
“莫要因你一己私仇，而将本殿带入万劫不复的境地。”
“否则，纵然殿主看好于你，本副殿主，也绝不会有半点心慈手软。”
“···我明白。”李护法应下：“何况，若真是如此，莫说是副殿主您，就是殿主也绝不会放过我吧？”
“你知晓就好。”
副殿主嗯了一声。
“副殿主，若是没有其他事，我想先去疗伤。”
“去吧。”
他轻轻点头。
而后，看着李护法远去的背影，他目光幽幽：“莫要自误···”
······
“哼。”
走出很远，李护法回头，冷冷看向大殿。
但只是一眼，他便回过头来，心头杀意涌动。
“隐魂殿？”
“本就不该存在这世上。”
“若非有助于我复仇···”
“罢了。”
“再容忍你等一些时日。”
“待我有几分把握之后···”
······
本年度大开山门之日，倒计时，两日。
如今的揽月宗已有一百零八座灵峰，周遭相邻宗门合共十三个，其中四个算是起于‘微末’，还未真正成长，仅有灵峰三五座。
其余九个宗门，在三流宗门之中混的都还不错。
但此刻，这十三个宗门都有些头疼。
且不知该如何是好。
碧水阁，创教祖师黎风山一直担惊受怕，心神不宁。
今年尤为甚之。
此刻，他与一众长老正在商议明日的安排。
众长老已经拿出章程来，却发现黎风山正皱眉发呆，久久没有回应，不由对视一眼，而后小声呼唤：“阁主。”
“阁主？”
黎风山逐渐回过神来：“嗯？”
“你们说什么？”
众长老：“···”
“阁主，明日便是大开山门之日，咱们已然拿出章程来，您看，按照这个法子来，可好？”
听他们说完，黎风山皱眉。
大长老迟疑：“阁主可是觉得不妥？”
“若有不妥，还请指出，我等也好修改。”
他姿态放的很低。
黎风山很强，虽然只是三流宗门之主，但其个人实力，已至第六境。
原本只是一寂寂无名的散修，后有奇遇，创建碧水阁，如今不过短短数百年，便已有灵山四十余座，弟子十万有余···
或许再过百十年，便有资格成为二流宗门了。
因此，长老们对其都很是敬佩。
只是此刻，黎风山却极为苦恼的摇头：“不是。”
“并无不妥？”
大长老一愣：“那我等便按照这个章程···”
“等等。”
黎风山摆摆手，长叹。
“阁主，可是有什么烦心事？”二长老小心翼翼询问。
“罢了，与你们聊聊也好，你们都是我碧水阁肱骨，要做决定，也该我等商量着来。”
黎风山深吸一口气：“我想···”
“今年，便不开山门了。”
“啊？！”
长老们都懵了：“这是为何？”
“阁主，咱们碧水阁蒸蒸日上，正是应该大力发展的时期，长此以往，最多百十年，咱们便可成为二流宗门，为何突然···”
“别急，你们听我说。”
黎风山有些无奈道：“我又何尝不知如今正是发展关键期？但我心中难安啊！”
“原本我还在迟疑，但前两日的动静，却是让我心中越发不安了。”
“直到方才，我才有这个想法。”
“前两日？”
大长老反应过来：“揽月宗？！”
“不错。”
黎风山点头，徐徐道来：“揽月宗，原本名不见经传，但这几年，却是如雷贯耳，我们这些‘邻居’，想不注意都难啊。”
“尤其是前两年，玉麟宫等六宗尽皆搬走，揽月宗接手其地盘之后，已然与我宗直接接壤。”
“若仅仅只是接壤也就罢了，可这揽月宗···太不安生！”
“这···，的确是如此。”谈起不安生的揽月宗，众长老都有些头皮发麻。
同时，忍不住一个接一个吐槽。
“揽月宗太癫狂了！”
“就没有哪一年安生过！”
“说实话，我每天都在担惊受怕，怕的就是这揽月宗又整什么幺蛾子，或是又惹到什么强敌，从而被人打上门来。”
“谁说不是呢？那些强敌，一个个太厉害了，前几年还好，虽然有皓月宗强者露面，但却并未出手，可从去年开始，便已经有一流势力跳出来、动手了，还不止一个！”
“今年倒好！”
“一流势力没来，但却蹦出来个超一流势力隐魂殿。”
“超一流就超一流吧，完了又蹦出来大乘佛教这个圣地，甚至连观天镜都出现了，这不是超级加倍是什么？”
“而且也未免加倍的太多了些，从一流，直接变成超一流加两大圣地，这？？？”
“简直是惹祸精啊！”
“我等···有苦难言。”
听着他们大吐苦水，黎风山却是极为淡定，因为他本人就是如此想法，自然不会觉得奇怪。
甚至，他其实才是最为痛苦、最为担忧的那个。
因为他是碧水阁之主，更是创教祖师。
同时，也是实力最强的一个。
他要为整个碧水阁、为所有人负责。
且在其他人看来，他就是那个‘高个子’，天塌下来，还有高个子顶着。
可是天知道自己这个高个子也感到极为棘手？
顶不住！
根本顶不住啊！
这特么，就揽月宗这个惹祸精，随便哪个敌人脑子一热、心狠手辣一些，来个大范围攻击···
揽月宗应该是顶得住。
但是我们他妈碧水阁顶不住啊！
到那时，所有人都要死，包括自己在内！
这特么找谁说理去？
这换了谁，谁不担心啊？
“你们现在明白我在担心什么了？”黎风山又是一声叹息：“非是你们的章程有什么问题，而是有揽月宗这个邻居，我实在是如鲠在喉，而且睡不着觉啊。”
众人：“···”
这话，其实没毛病。
一开始大家都只是心中惊惧，暗暗担忧，但谁都没说。
别人都没说，自己跳出来第一个开口？那岂不是显得自己很菜、很胆小么。
而此刻，黎风山亲自将话题带起来，他们便也就不装了。
事实···
就是如此残酷。
这特么的可如何是好啊。
“的确是如鲠在喉，寝食难安啊。”
二长老苦笑连连：“但···总不能因噎废食吧？”
“咱们碧水阁总是要发展的，虽然揽月宗很可能带来诸多凶险，但是这个这个···”
“我知道你的想法。”黎风山轻轻摆手：“但正所谓君子不立危墙之下。”
“我不是什么君子，却也绝非愣头青、不怕死。”
“明知揽月宗是个惹祸精、待在他旁边迟早得出事，还没有任何作为，只是慢慢等死？这可并非明智之举！”
“何况，纵然揽月宗不惹祸了，也没有强敌上门，或是那些强敌都很‘老实’且‘心善’，不会迁怒于周遭宗门···难道我等就能放心了吗？”
七长老一愣：“啊？这还不能放心？”
“当然不能！”
大长老郁闷道：“老七，你看待问题不要太过片面，你且想想，就揽月宗目前的发展速度，以及那堪称‘诡异’的生命力，若是没有强敌会如何？”
“那自然是迅猛发展，且速度之快，简直是骇人听闻···啊？！”
“想明白了？”黎风山轻敲桌面，幽幽道：“以他们的发展速度，无需多久便会不断扩张，而揽月宗扩张，我们这些邻居，岂不是首当其冲？”
“到那时，我等若是不愿退走，便必有一战。”
“可若是退走，岂非又是为他人做嫁衣？”
“因此，其实，我们碧水阁看似蒸蒸日上，实则，却已是岌岌可危，且几乎没有第二条路走。”
“唯有···”
众长老麻了。
他们原本只是觉得担忧，想顺便吐槽、倒点苦水出来。
却没想到，事情竟然已经发展到这种地步。
如此危急！
“虽然我等只有一条路走，但却也未必就是坏事，正所谓祸兮福所倚、福兮祸所伏，是祸是福，便要看我等如何安排了。”
黎风山已然考虑许久，此刻将自己心中担忧道出，反倒是洒脱了许多。
“利用得当，或许，我等还可从中获利！”
“只是，今年这山门，便不开了吧。”
“啊？”
“阁主已有想法？”
“想听阁主高见。”
长老们连连追问。
黎风山也不含糊，道：“玉麟宫等六宗，你们还有印象吧？”
“他们的选择，想来你们也有所耳闻？”
大长老点头：“他们将自家灵山等，尽皆兑给揽月宗，听说换到不少物资，并入洪武仙盟去了。”
“似乎最近过的颇为滋润，有洪武散仙撑腰，完全不用担心外部威胁，且内部争斗也几乎没有，甚至大开山门之日，洪武仙城还会帮着张罗···”
“不错！”
黎风山唏嘘：“就是如此。”
“原本，我是不想居于人下，也正因如此，才选择自创势力，从无到有打拼。”
“但事到如今，我却是不能再随性而为了，得为整个碧水阁、得为所有人负责，因此，我不得不做出抉择。”
“或许，将我宗灵山以及无法带走的一切兑给揽月宗，而后加入洪武仙盟，才是最好的抉择。”
“至于之后的担惊受怕···”
“便让其他宗门来吧。”
“我是不想再每日提心吊胆了。”
“这···”
长老们对视一眼，而后纷纷苦笑：“我等倒是没什么意见，只是，如此一来，岂非太过委屈了阁主？”
“不委屈！”
“我自愿的！”
黎风山无奈且想骂娘。
他妈的这段时间过的都是些什么日子啊！
要担心周遭竞争对手、要担心揽月宗突然的扩张，还特么要担心揽月宗这个惹祸精招惹的那些强敌会突然跳出来乱杀···
与其继续在这里备受煎熬，老子还不如受点小委屈、居于人下呢。
Although I will lose some freedom, at least I don't have to be scared to death or lose sleep every day.
Then, he added: "However, we can't just come here like this. There are too few of us to negotiate!"
"so···"
"This year, our sect will not open its gates."
"Elders, divide your time and go contact the other twelve sects bordering the Lanyue Sect to discuss this matter."
"Go ask them if there are people who share the same concerns and ideas as our sect!"
“If there is, let’s discuss it. After tomorrow, we will go to Lanyue Sect together to discuss it with Lin Fan.”
"It's easier to talk with more people."
“And the price will definitely be higher!”
"rational!"
"yes."
"Master, rest assured, we will go there immediately."
“···”
······
Soon, many elders of the Bishui Pavilion split up and went to the other twelve sects.
Since they were not far away and the Bishui Pavilion was considered to be a well-known existence among the surrounding sects, they soon met the leaders of each sect.
At first, they were quite nervous.
after all···
My coming here seems to be persuading these sects to give in and run away with me.
If the other person doesn't have this idea, or has a stronger temper, I'm afraid that at best he'll scold me and kick me out, or at worst... he'll probably resort to violence!
However.
Just as they spoke with trepidation and expressed their intentions, they found that the other party all showed an expression of "very pleasing to them" and complained to them in return.
Tianyin Sect.
"This proposal is very much to my liking, very much to my liking!"
"These days, this sect master has been unable to sleep or eat well, and has been thinking about what to do. Li Fengshan's method is excellent!"
"Then let's make it a deal!"
“···”
Purple Cloud Gate.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Why didn't you come earlier?"
"For the past two years, I couldn't eat or sleep. I wasn't even interested in women. My hair was falling out in clumps. Did you know that I pulled it out myself?!"
"If you had come earlier, wouldn't I have let it go long ago?"
"Do you think I want to stay with this troublemaker? I can't save face because you guys didn't run away."
"Now, our two families will run together. Even if we are ridiculed by others, at least we will have company, right?"
“···”
Half a day later.
The elders returned.
The news he brought back made Li Fengshan breathe a sigh of relief and he was overjoyed.
When the news was gathered, the leaders and rulers of the other twelve sects also laughed.
"Everyone agrees?"
"It's not two sects, it's the thirteen sects including us?"
“Great!”
"In this case, who dares to laugh at us?"
"Mockery? What do you mean by mockery? We call this a strategic adjustment. The thirteen sects will advance and retreat together. Anyone who dares to mock me will be killed!!!"
"That's absolutely true! That's absolutely true!"
"Sucking salty chicken shit? Do you still have this habit?"
"Get out, get out of here!"
"Well, sorry, sorry, I wasn't like this before, but I really couldn't sleep in the past two years. I was too excited today, so I got a little carried away. Please forgive me, please forgive me~"
"Well, then let's get ready. After tomorrow, we will go to Lanyue Sect together~!"
"good!"
“···”
······
A night passed.
The day to open the mountain gate has arrived.
There are thirteen sects including the Bishui Pavilion, plus the Lanyue Sect, a total of fourteen sects.
There are no less than 500,000 people coming to pay homage to the mountain!
But they soon discovered that the gates of thirteen sects, including the Bishui Pavilion and the Tianyin Sect, were all closed...
"Not accepting disciples?"
"Why is this?"
The boys and girls who had traveled across mountains and rivers were stunned.
Fortunately, good news soon came.
"The gates of the Lanyue Sect are wide open, and they are still recruiting disciples!"
"hiss?!"
"Go quickly!"
At this moment, they no longer cared about their original goal and hurried to Lanyue Sect to try their luck.
Besides, the Lanyue Sect has become very famous in the past few years, which is not bad.
But many people cried.
"I have no skills, I can't make it!"
"What should I do?"
