Everyone quickly set off on their swords, heading from southern Xinjiang to the southern foot of the Taihang Mountains.
Along the way, Wei Dongliu thought carefully again.
Today, this character's intelligence network is mainly divided into two lines, upper and lower.
The lower level consists of two disciples, Guo Jin and Wang Xun. After they grow up, they will be allowed to travel around and search for information about the hell.
The advantage of this line is that it is easy for apprentices to use, but the disadvantage is that it takes time to train apprentices.
After a cultivator of ordinary talent begins to cultivate, it will take about fifty years for him to enter the Huafu stage. Judging from the qualifications of these two disciples, Wei Dongliu feels that it may take even longer.
Maybe seventy or eighty years, no rush.
The upper level line is Wei Dongliu himself, who obtains information from the Tianmo Dao, Yin Gui Dao, Shura Dao and Donghuang Dao respectively through Jiang Li'an, Wen Yang, Gu Lie and Long Xiaoqi.
The advantage is that the cycle is short, and Wei Dongliu himself is a cultivator at the Huafu level at the beginning; the disadvantage is that he needs to maintain his character and cannot ask random questions.
Of course, as a qualified traitor spy, he would not be so narrow-minded as to only follow one path.
I want them all!
Apart from the situation on Wei Dongliu's side, what is more worrying is Luo Yan's side.
According to the current timeline, Wei Dongliu's progress is several days ahead of Luo Yan.
In other words, as long as you reload the game and jump to Luo Yan's side, you will soon encounter the event of "One Hundred Thousand Gods and Demons Attacking Penglai".
According to Jiang Li'an and others, the Yuqing Temple in Penglai had been breached and even the mountain protection formation was gone. It was a huge defeat.
However, there was no detailed mention of what Tiangongfang was like.
According to A Jing, he couldn't ask proactively, otherwise what if someone said "Everyone in Tiangongfang was wiped out" or "Someone named Luo Yan died tragically"?
Therefore, although he was thinking about it, he did not ask directly.
After all, Jiang Li'an and others were not in the expedition team, and they only heard some second-hand information from hearsay. Therefore, they did not talk much about this topic, but quickly moved on to other aspects.
"I heard that in the northern battlefield this time, since there were no high-level cultivators to show up, the people from Shushan went on a killing spree." Wen Yang said casually, "The one who killed the most crazily was the sword immortal who cut the grass."
"Is the Grass-Cutting Sword Immortal An Zhisu?" Jiang Li'an asked curiously, "I heard that she is also a killer inside Shushan. I'm afraid that more of her fellow disciples have died at her hands than the cultivators from the enemy sects."
"After all, Shushan is a nepotism society, and the rules are different from ours." Wen Yang sneered contemptuously, "No matter how strong you are, it's useless without enough connections. That's why the Grass-Cutting Sword Immortal didn't participate in the southern expedition in previous years. I just don't know why she was allowed to come this time."
(The "Three Pure Ones" is a derogatory term for the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Church, satirizing the elite disciples of Kunlun, Shushan, and Penglai, who are mostly from families cultivating immortals and have essentially begun to become aristocratic)
"An Zhisu's father is the head of Qingluo Peak, the Seventh Killer Su Jian." Gu Lie also added, "He is also a great killer, and it is said that he is also the direct disciple of the Shushan Grand Elder, the Immortal Changmei."
"Later, Su Jian was ambushed and seriously injured by several elders of my sect. After returning to the sect, he began to practice life and death meditation. Qingluo Peak has never recovered since then."
"That's strange." Jiang Li'an narrowed his eyes and smiled, "The lineage of his disciples has fallen into decline, so why doesn't the Supreme Elder care?"
"Who knows?" Wen Yang waved his hand indifferently, "It's probably just some scheming and intrigue."
Jiang Li'an raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing it.
No matter how much intrigue there is, it won't affect the Grand Elder.
His status is such that if he sneezes, all the other peaks in Mount Shu will tremble... The sword-killing immortal kills his fellow disciples indiscriminately and is not valued in the sect. It is obvious that this is because the great master does not care about him.
"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Wei?" She tilted her head with a sweet smile and asked Wei Dongliu again.
"Maybe it's a dispute over the route." Wei Dongliu said casually.
"A dispute over the route?" Witch Jiang blinked.
"Hey, I know this very well." Gu Lie suddenly interrupted and said, "Take our Shura Dao as an example. There are people who specialize in fighting techniques, and there are also people who concentrate on Buddhism. Both sides don't like each other."
"So, Fellow Daoist Gu, are you from the fighting school or the Buddhist school?" Witch Jiang asked with a smile.
"I am naturally from the fighting department." Gu Lie said without hesitation.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Everyone suddenly remembered that in the Mirror Lake Temple, Gu Lie's reflection in the mirror had an angry face, but a compassionate heart... In other words, although he appeared to be bloodthirsty and fighting, he actually longed for Buddhism?
"Ahem!" Gu Lie also realized that something was wrong and explained, "My father is a high-ranking monk in the temple. He is proficient in the theory of Tantric Buddhism and even obtained the degree of Aranba Geshe."
"Aranbagsi?" Jiang Li'an asked curiously.
"The title of monk can only be obtained after long-term hard study of Buddhism in the Tantric College." Gu Lie sighed, "He taught me many scriptures since I was a child, and I was supposed to inherit his mantle."
"It's just that when I was fourteen, he lost a duel with his enemies and died. His soul was scattered and he didn't even have the chance to reincarnate."
"From that day on, I knew that no matter how profoundly you studied Buddhism, what was the use?" The old foreign monk sighed, raised one hand, and said "Amitabha" in a vicissitudes of life. "You can't defeat your enemy in a fight. Just because you have a deep foundation in Buddhism, will the Buddha send the Mingwang to save you?"
"Fellow Daoist Gu, what you said is true to Buddhism!" Wen Yang clapped his hands and laughed, "As long as you are good at fighting, what does it matter if you don't understand Buddhism?"
Gu Lie waved his hands disinterestedly, indicating that he didn't want to say more.
"Fellow Daoist Gu is actually from a family of high monks." Jiang Mo Nv also said with a smile, "I also know Xiao Qi. Before he entered Taoism, he was herding in southern Xinjiang. What about Fellow Daoist Wen?"
"It's just an ordinary well-off family." Wen Yang said briefly.
The so-called wealthy families are probably the landlords... Wei Dongliu was watching coldly, only to see Witch Jiang bring the topic back to himself:
"Fellow Daoist Wei was a casual cultivator before joining the Mortal Life Dao. I don't think he was born into a great family of immortal cultivators. But judging by his conversation and temperament, he is not from a small family, right?"
"I am from overseas." Wei Dongliu said mysteriously.
"Overseas?" Everyone was surprised. "South China Sea or East China Sea?"
Sea of Time, do you believe that I have traveled through time?
Wei Dongliu said perfunctorily:
"The South China Sea and the East China Sea are connected, but I don't know their exact locations. I ended up in Shenzhou by accident."
"I see." Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, everyone tactfully stopped asking questions, and only heard Wen Yang laugh again:
"I've been asking for a long time, but Brother Daoist Jiang still hasn't said anything!"
"Me?" Jiang Li'an smiled with curved eyebrows. "My parents are fishermen who fish overseas. They live in Xiyu Township, Penghu Island. But not long after I was born, I was taken in by my master."
"Huh?" She suddenly thought of something, clapped her hands and laughed, "So, Daoyou Wei and I are both from overseas! Does that mean we are from the same hometown?"
Everyone was speechless when they heard this. So since we went abroad together, we must be from the same hometown, right?
