"Bah! Master disciple... Brother Xu is also a master disciple, but he didn't introduce himself as a master disciple like him... Why doesn't he write it on his face? He wants to catch Huaying? Doesn't he think it's embarrassing for the Shushan master..." Xuejian scolded him angrily after Chang Hao left.
However, the owner of the jewelry store was a little scared. They didn't know what fairy beasts and monsters were good or evil. They were a little nervous when they saw people with monster pets. But because the monster disaster happened for more than half a year, it was common to see many Qigong practitioners with monster pets. Even some brave martial arts heroes would raise little monsters with human nature. For example, in the legend of Shu, the Bashu thief Li Hankong three hundred years ago was accompanied by a monkey spirit... So they didn't react too much.
However, "scolding" the Shushan disciples, in their eyes, is a symbol of evil. Facing the "big devil", the shopkeeper even had a sad face and wanted to pack up all the jewelry for Xuejian and Longkui, just asking them to leave quickly, which ruined Xuejian and Longkui's mood for shopping...
After all, Chang Hao did a good job on the surface. After the monster disaster, he often brushed his prestige around Shushan, just like "signing in".
Therefore, Guan Liyuan, who scolded the "beloved Shushan Immortal", was naturally the "big devil".
"Demon, do you think the Shushan disciples are like Brother Xu, or like his junior brother?" Xuejian asked.
"This... didn't we see a lot of them on the road? Most of them... are still upright." Guan Liyuan said.
According to Guan Liyuan's understanding of the original work, the Shushan disciples at this time may sometimes be confused and deceived, but the word "upright" is mostly worthy of it!
The atmosphere of Shushan should have started to deteriorate when the Shushan calamity occurred 20 years later...
According to the development of the original work, after the calamity of the Locking Demon Tower, Xu Changqing succeeded to the position of the head, because Zixuan passed on Nuwa's spiritual energy to him before her death, and achieved the status of earthly immortal in a short period of time - even before the decree of the God Realm was issued, he became an earthly immortal!
Moreover, after Zixuan's death, Xu Changqing devoted himself to the management of Shushan, which brought the Shushan sect into a stage of rapid development.
Now Shushan can be regarded as "the leader of the Taoist sect". During Xu Changqing's period, the head of the sect was an earthly immortal. The sects that used to say that Shushan's realm was not good had to write the word "submission". In addition, they recruited disciples and expanded the mountain gate, and it was extremely prosperous for a time.
However, it was precisely because of this prosperity that Shushan was out of balance inside and outside, and the Liaori Demon King in the Shushan caused trouble, and one of the five spiritual veins of Shushan was opened, triggering the "Shushan calamity", or the "earth vein calamity".
Afterwards, Xu Changqing was unconventional. When the earth vein energy restrained the disciples of Shushan, he decisively appointed Nangong Huang, who grew up in Shushan but was not a disciple of Shushan, to calm the earth vein disaster. Even after knowing Nangong Huang's half-demon identity, he still trusted him.
Because Nangong Huang's way of calming the earth vein was a collapse therapy. Originally, the five spiritual earth veins connected a fire spirit vein, which made Shushan extremely hot, and Nangong Huang wanted to open up all five spirit veins...
So when the first four were opened, it aggravated the disaster of Shushan. Later, Xu Changqing learned that this disaster was caused by his own over-strengthening of Shushan. He felt guilty, so he decided to retire to the mountains and pass the position of the head of Shushan to his junior brother Chang Hao. Guan Liyuan always suspected that this was because Xu Changqing felt that Chang Hao could weaken Shushan quickly and regain balance.
Facts have also proved that Chang Hao has exceeded his "mission"!
After Chang Hao came to power, he continued to do things that were not good. He first accused Nangong Huang of causing trouble for Shushan, and took the lead in spreading this statement among the disciples, causing many Shushan disciples who were resentful of the disaster in Shushan to use Nangong Huang as an outlet...
Although Nangong Huang felt wronged, out of respect for Xu Changqing, he still completed the task of calming the earth veins before leaving Shushan.
At this time, Chang Hao jumped out again, saying that he had contacted the ancestors who had ascended to the divine realm and calmed the catastrophe of the earth veins. Nangong Huang's previous actions were completely harmful and useless...
His purpose was, on the one hand, to see Nangong Huang, a "half-demon", coming and going in Shushan, and on the other hand, to consolidate his prestige, but this also chilled many Shushan disciples.
After that, the tricks continued. As soon as he came to power, he suppressed dissidents and forced away many outstanding disciples including Situ Zhong. Situ Zhong was later known as the "Drunken Sword Immortal"!
There were countless elites among the Shou and Ning generations of disciples left over from Xu Changqing's era. It would be difficult to make Shushan decline if someone deliberately ruined the family, but Chang Hao's manipulation was enough
to consolidate his prestige. He used methods such as accusing Nangong Huang of framing him, one after another. In short, he kept "removing the elite and retaining the dross" from the Shushan disciples - all the excellent ones were driven away, leaving only a group of fools who believed in him and were easy to incite.
Although this step was stupid, it was also justified. In Situ Zhong's words, "the master got it too easily", so he was worried.
However, among the manipulations, there were some completely mysterious operations - such as dismissing all female disciples on the mountain. Shushan, which originally accepted both men and women, only accepted male disciples from him...
This order could actually be executed, which shows that the "removing the elite and retaining the dross" had been almost completed at that time, and only his supporters were left on the mountain.
In the past few years, apart from his direct disciple Jiang Qing and his second disciple Dugu Yuyun, there were no other disciples in Shushan who were successful. If this method was used in the Tang Sect, it would probably be able to fight against the old ladies?
A large number of Shushan disciples went down the mountain, which indirectly promoted the improvement of the martial arts level of the secular martial arts world. The Shushan Sect was born out of the Shushan Taoist Alliance, and the Taoist methods they inherited were not inherited from the same lineage. Many disciples from non-core factions would pass on the Taoist methods after leaving. As long as they were not the skills of the core factions, Chang Hao could not pursue them, after all, there were too many people who were driven away.
Moreover, the reason why he went to Jingcunwu was to secure his position as the head of the sect, so he didn't care about these.
The reason why he was so extravagant was that Xu Changqing left a solid foundation. Even if he only left the stupid ones, he could maintain his position as the top brother of Shushan.
As a result, Jiang Qing fell in love with Yue Rouxia, the daughter of the demon king, and they were tricked into entering the Demon Locking Tower...
Chang Hao lost face and rashly sent elite disciples into the tower to search for Jiang Qing, but none of them came out - it turned out that at this time he forgot the ancestral precept that Shushan disciples were not allowed to enter the Demon Locking Tower, and he also forgot how the Demon-Suppressing Sword was lost.
Later, when sealing Yue Rouxia's father, a group of elite disciples were lost again. It was a pity that Shushan, which was at its peak, was completely defeated in more than ten years... Chang Hao eventually died of illness in resentment.
Xu Changqing probably wouldn't have thought that Chang Hao would complete the task of "the fall of Shushan" so quickly and so thoroughly.
It can be said that Chang Hao is Zi Xuan among the Shushan masters - they are all pitfalls.
When Dugu Yuyun took over the already messed up Shushan, not only was his mind somewhat paranoid because of Chang Hao, but he also did not have the foundation that Chang Hao had when he took over, so he had to go down the mountain to exorcise monsters frequently as the head of the sect, and personally "hype" to make Shushan famous...
Which of the previous heads of the sect was not a mysterious dragon that could not be seen from head to tail? Even if he went down the mountain to exorcise monsters, it would not be known by the secular people.
Dugu Yuyun had to be an image ambassador and demon-killing idol in order to maintain the surface of Shushan, so he also got a nickname with a very Jianghu flavor - Sword Saint... How miserable is it?
Now who dares to give Qingwei such a down-to-earth nickname, Qingwei will slap him in the face!
Even Guan Liyuan now thinks that he has to make things difficult for Chang Hao, which is a bit low-class...
Unexpectedly, Guan Liyuan still overestimated this guy's integrity, and later... Guan Liyuan encountered even more low-class means!
When Guan Liyuan, Xuejian and Longkui were having dinner, the shopkeeper of the restaurant actually trembled and said that he didn't want money?
Frightened by Guan Liyuan, the shopkeeper told the truth - it turned out that the Shushan disciples reminded them that "there is a group of immortal scum with two demon pets, who are arrogant and don't conflict with them" and so on...
Xuejian was very angry when she heard it. It turned out that after that guy was scared away, he spread rumors all over the city? Are there any more generous means? This behavior is simply destructive to one’s worldview…
Even Guan Liyuan was stunned for a long time before he uttered, “This bastard…”
