After communicating with Junior Sister Xu in the Sutra Library for several days, Qiu Changtian has already gained a basic understanding of the Six Paths of the Demon Cult.
The ones that deserve the most attention are naturally the Tianmo Sect and the Yin Gui Sect. These two sects have strict internal organizational structures, and all kinds of strange magic techniques emerge in an endless stream, so they need to be specially guarded against.
Next are Donghuang Dao and Shura Dao. The former is a case of usurping the throne. It started out as a small sect with weak accumulation of resources. It seized some of the orthodoxy of the Beast Taming Sect, so its overall strength is still relatively low.
The latter are a bunch of killers. They are good at fighting and killing, but they are a mess in other aspects.
The largest one is Fansheng Dao, but the one with the weakest overall strength is also Fansheng Dao, with no leader.
After sorting out the information, Qiu Changtian sincerely thanked Junior Sister Xu and then left the Sutra Library.
Xu Yinglian was beaming with joy, feeling very proud. After returning to the cave, he remembered:
Wait, I want to ask Brother why the marrow cleansing is so fast, not to help him collect information!
Qiu Changtian returned to the cave and told Kunlun Mirror:
"A Jing, what do you think would be a good name for my fourth character?"
"Wei Dongliu, what do you think?" Kunlun Jing suggested.
"This name is a bit domineering." Qiu Changtian said suspiciously, "How did you come up with it? I feel like you haven't even thought about it."
"It's not difficult to come up with a name." Kunlun Jing replied, "I don't like the name Wei Dongliu. There are also Yue Nantian, Yan Changan, Tang Wanzhong, Xue Dinglu..."
"Okay, okay, then let's go with Wei Dongliu." Qiu Changtian thought about it and felt that they were all about the same, so he interrupted its behavior of announcing the name of the dish, "Then let's go with Wei Dongliu, teleport!"
Kunlun Mirror said in a deep voice:
[Point 4: Mount Wutai, Nanlianggou.]
[Character identity: Wei Dongliu. ]
[The Mirror Flower and Water Moon template is overwritten, and time travel is in progress. 】
When Wei Dongliu opened his eyes again, he was already in the mountains.
Compared with Kunlun Snow Mountain and Penglai Island, the environment of Mount Wutai is closer to Mount Shu, with undulating terrain and dense forests.
But in comparison, the mountains on the Shushan side are steeper, while those on the Wutai Mountain side are slightly flatter, and the trees are more cold-resistant and sparse.
Wei Dongliu trekked along the mountain road and met several woodcutters on the way.
"Excuse me." He stopped the woodcutters, "Excuse me, if we want to visit the immortals in Mount Wutai, is this the direction we should go?"
The woodcutters looked at each other for a moment, and one of them said:
"There are indeed some practitioners deep in Mount Wutai, but most of them are not easy to get along with."
"If I like you, I'll accept you as my disciple. If I don't like you, I'm afraid you'll even lose your life."
"Young man, I see that you are from a good family. Just stop here and don't go any further."
Wei Dongliu thanked him earnestly and continued to climb. The woodcutters shook their heads and sighed when they saw that he was determined to move forward.
After walking for about two hours, he suddenly heard a faint singing voice coming from the front.
Although the voice is soft and sweet, it is sung in dialect and I can't understand what it means.
Wei Dongliu narrowed his eyes slightly and found that the voice seemed to contain an illusion attack.
He didn't dare to go any deeper. He looked around and chose another mountain road away from the source of the sound, thinking that the woodcutters were right.
If a mortal heard this song, he would definitely be bewitched by the illusion and foolishly follow the sound. It goes without saying what the outcome would be.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the singing suddenly stopped.
Wei Dongliu continued moving forward and when he came to a corner of the mountain steps, he saw a small pavilion in front of him.
On the stone table in the pavilion, there was a copper pot with ingredients cooking inside.
Sitting next to him was a young girl in purple, who looked to be less than 20 years old. She was staring at the flame under the pot in a daze with her chin in her hand.
Wei Dongliu frowned slightly and was about to take a detour, but he heard the other party staring at the pot and saying:
"Since you are here, why don't you come up and have a chat?"
"I'm sorry to bother you." Wei Dongliu said with a bow, and quickly made a distinction in his mind.
The voice of this purple-clad girl is exactly the same as her previous singing!
"It's okay." The purple-clothed girl raised her head and suddenly revealed a bright smile.
Her eyes were large, but slightly curved at the ends, typical peach blossom eyes. Even though her face was expressionless, there was a hint of charm in her glance.
Her nose is small and delicate, and the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, with a smile on her face without saying a word, which arouses people's thoughts all the time.
In physiognomy, this kind of appearance belongs to "beauty brings disaster". Although she looks exquisite and beautiful, she is often cunning and deceitful in her heart, which can easily lead to unrest in the family.
Wei Dongliu became extremely alert and made sure that there were no ambushes around the pavilion before he carefully walked into the pavilion and sat down opposite the girl in purple.
"Don't know your name?"
"My last name is Jiang." The girl smiled sweetly, "My name is Li An, what's your name?"
This smile was full of charm and mixed with illusion, aiming to directly deceive people's minds.
If an ordinary cultivator falls into her trap, he will immediately fall deeply in love with her, his favorability towards her will be maxed out, and he will be bewildered by a few words from her and will not hesitate to go through fire and water for her.
Although Wei Dongliu did not have the talent of clear mind of Taoism, fortunately Kunlun Mirror was the ancestor of playing with illusions, so he directly dispelled these illusions and quickly notified Wei Dongliu.
Knowing that he was under the opponent's illusion attack again, Wei Dongliu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a bit of murderous intent arose in his heart.
Jiang Li’an:?
The appearance of the man in front of her with his eyes narrowed reminded her of a very dangerous person she had met before...
She was slightly startled, and calmly removed the illusion, smiling:
"But it's inconvenient to tell your name?"
"My name is Wei Dongliu."
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Wei." Jiang Li'an said with a smile, his thoughts also flowing secretly.
"Wei Dongliu" may not be her real name, but "Jiang Li'an" is actually a pseudonym, and the last character of her real name is not "An".
This is probably because there are countless unconventional techniques in Jiejiao, among which there are also secret techniques that curse others based on their names, such as the famous Seven Arrows Book of the Ancient Times...
Of course, those secret techniques have all been lost nowadays, but just in case, the Heavenly Demon Sect still requires all disciples not to reveal their real names, but to call each other by pseudonyms, even within the sect.
"Where are you from, Brother Wei? And why did you come to Mount Wutai?" Jiang Li'an asked with a smile.
"I am a casual cultivator." Wei Dongliu said solemnly, "I accidentally got the opportunity left by my predecessor in my early years, and now I am here to find a master."
"Oh." Jiang Li'an understood immediately, "I wonder which sect you are looking for?"
"Tongxuan Sect." Wei Dongliu replied, "It is said to be a sect left behind by the ancient Jiejiao."
Jiang Li'an was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, are you serious?"
"Why do you say that?" Wei Dongliu asked in surprise.
"The one you are talking about should be the Wanfa Tongxuan Sect, which was once the leader of the Mortal Dao, but it was cut off four thousand years ago." Jiang Li'an said with a smile, "If it were not for this, the Mortal Dao would not have fallen into the current state."
Tongxuanmen is gone? Wei Dongliu's mind sank slightly.
Although he had prepared himself mentally, he still felt a little annoyed when he suddenly heard the news.
"If you are here to find the Wanfa Tongxuan Gate, then you are indeed late." Seeing his gloomy face, Jiang Li'an pretended to be sad and sighed:
“Not to mention the sect’s lineage, even the outer disciples of the Wanfa Tongxuan Sect were all wiped out in the disaster, not to mention the sect’s Taoist techniques, magic weapons and other resources… Even if they were lucky enough to survive in some ruins, they would have been looted over the past four thousand years.”
"Now, the only thing left is probably this name, which is being used by some ignorant and independent sects."
"But I can guarantee that these sects named 'Tongxuan Sect' have no inheritance relationship with the original Wanfa Tongxuan Sect."
"Even if fellow Daoist builds his own Wanfa Tongxuan Sect, it will probably be more orthodox than theirs." When Jiang Li'an said this, he showed a disdainful smile and shook his head.
"I see." Wei Dongliu pondered for a long time and said, "In this case, in order to revive my master's lineage, I have no choice but to rebuild the Wanfa Tongxuan Sect."
