Chapter 299 I am the Undertaker
Wuyi Mountain.
Peach blossom forest.
Behind the Taoist temple.
Finally, a tomb was built.
The grave was dug by the dragon snake himself, and the tombstone was erected by the young Taoist priest.
[The Tomb of My Beloved Disciple Tang Yuan]
Tang Yuan didn't survive after all, and he wanted to know why he had come to this point after all these years.
The purpose of his going down the mountain was to avenge his parents and take back the Panlong Sect.
Later, he took back the Panlong Sect and became its leader.
But he was afraid that one night, a young man would appear at his bedside and tell him that he wanted to avenge his parents.
So, he wanted to eradicate the problem completely.
He wanted to kill all of Gu Junli's men, as well as their families and descendants.
He did it and became notorious in the monk world.
He discovered that having a bad reputation did have its benefits. The elders who were originally dissatisfied with him no longer dared to oppose him.
In the entire sect, his words were trustworthy and no one dared to go against his words.
Tang Yuan enjoyed the feeling of holding power and gradually became immersed in it.
In order to consolidate his power in Panlong Sect, he tried his best to suppress those elders. Anyone who dared to say a word of opposition would be suppressed immediately.
Under his iron-blooded suppression, Panlong Sect could not hear any dissenting voices, but at the same time he also slowly lost the love of Panlong Sect disciples.
The disciples of Panlong Sect were more afraid of him, which was why after his wife framed him, no one in the entire sect, from top to bottom, came to his defense.
Tang Yuan knew in his heart that no matter whether he was really possessed by a demon or not, these disciples wished he did.
He has lost the hearts of the people.
After returning to Panlong Sect, Tang Yuan did not meet the sect disciples, but went to meet his wife.
He wanted to know why his wife betrayed him.
What he didn't expect was that his wife's answer was very simple: he was the one who betrayed her first.
That wedding made her a joke.
Anyone who was not stupid could see that the person who exposed Gu Junli that day was the one who had designed the plan.
Tang Yuan was silent.
"You know, it's not just the people of Panlong Sect who have a grudge against you, but also people from other sects. They are afraid of you, afraid that you will attack them after you break through the Jindan."
"You have dealt with all those who opposed you in the sect with thunderous means. Everyone can see your desire for power. If you wait until you break through to the Golden Core stage, I'm afraid you will mobilize the Panlong Sect to attack these sects."
"If I don't cooperate with them, they will unite to attack Panlong Sect."
"As long as you are eliminated, Panlong Sect will not encounter any disaster, and I will also raise Hao'er. With daddy's protection, Hao'er can take over Panlong Sect when he grows up."
Tang Yuan's cultivation speed is too terrifying. If that were the case, the surrounding sects would not panic. It's not like there have never been cultivation geniuses in this area, but those geniuses in the past were not like Tang Yuan, who had an extreme pursuit of power.
For the geniuses that emerged from various sects in the past, most other sects adopted the method of making friends with them, but they knew that it was useless for Tang Yuan.
The stronger Tang Yuan becomes, the more dangerous their sects will be.
Hearing his wife's words, Tang Yuan had a bitter smile on his face. If he had not gone to see his master and had not encountered these things, if he had broken through to the Golden Core level, his next step would indeed be to consider how to annex other sects.
Therefore, no one in this world is a fool.
That evening.
Tang Yuan sat alone in the main hall of Panlong Sect and ended his life by severing his own foundation.
When various sects received the news, they sent strong men to verify it. Many sects wanted to humiliate Tang Yuan when they saw his body. At this time, a terrifying aura appeared above Panlong Sect.
The breath alone was enough to terrify all the cultivators. Fortunately, the breath did not stay for long and disappeared, along with Tang Yuan's body.
This sudden change caused panic in all factions. They were worried about the relationship between this suddenly appearing strong man and Tang Yuan, and they were always uneasy.
It was not until a few years passed and they discovered that the powerful man had never appeared again that the powerful men from these sects finally felt relieved. However, they dared not mention the fact that Tang Yuan was a demon cultivator. As for a few people who had originally wanted to take advantage of Tang Yuan's death and the leaderlessness of Panlong Sect to seize Panlong Sect's territory, they completely gave up the idea.
Wuyi Mountain.
After several years of development, Qingyun Sect finally got on the right track.
Under the leadership of the old Taoist priest, Qingyun Sect reclaimed a hundred acres of spiritual fields, half of which was used to grow spiritual rice and the other half to grow spiritual medicine.
There are seven people in Qingyun Sect, from the old Taoist to the disciples, but even so, the spiritual rice is still not enough to eat.
Those who are dressed in silk and satin are not silkworm farmers.
The same goes for Qingyun Sect.
The leader of Qingyun Sect fights against poverty.
Cultivation requires resources. Wuyi Mountain is rich in spiritual energy, so there is no need to use spiritual stones lavishly for cultivation.
However, cultivation still requires elixirs, and one also needs to purchase some spiritual tools and talismans, which all require spirit stones.
These one hundred acres of spiritual fields are the source of all income for Qingyun Sect.
"Master, how about I go down the mountain with my fellow apprentices?"
"Why are you going down the mountain? Didn't I tell you that it's very dangerous outside the mountain?"
"But we are too poor to stay in the mountains. The last time I went down the mountain with my junior sister, she liked a spiritual hairpin, but we emptied our pockets and still couldn't get enough spiritual stones."
"Didn't I ask you to carry 20 kilograms of spiritual rice to exchange it in the end?"
"We did carry 20 kilograms of spiritual rice to exchange, but we also drank porridge for half a month."
There wasn’t much pure rice left, so in the end I could only cook porridge with it.
"Master, why do you still send thirty kilograms of spiritual rice to the Taoist temple every year?"
A disciple asked about his doubts, saying that their own spiritual rice was not enough to eat, but every year after the master harvested the spiritual rice, he would send a bag to the Taoist priest in Taohua Temple.
"You don't understand."
There was a complicated look in the old Taoist's eyes. When he first saw Tang Yuan's figure, he was frightened at first, but then he figured it out.
Tang Yuan was not passing by Wuyi Mountain. Tang Yuan came to look for the Taoist priest at Taohua Temple that night.
He didn't know the Taoist priest's background, but he must be someone very important.
These thirty kilograms of spiritual rice are protection fees.
"What did your teacher teach you every day? You should be kind to your neighbors. Taohua Temple and my Qingyun Sect are neighbors, so we should have a good relationship."
After hearing what their master said, several disciples all looked puzzled. When did their master say this to them?
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In the past, the master said that not a single grain of magical rice should fall into the fields, so that the neighboring sects would not get it for free.
"Senior, I think the Qingyun Sect is pretty good. With the guidance of the Sect Master, these disciples should be able to live for a long time."
Lao Jin saw that the Taoist priest had been lying motionless on the rattan chair since Tang Yuan was buried. He felt that this was not going to work and that the Taoist priest had to get over Tang Yuan's departure.
Although the old guy from Qingyun Sect is not very powerful, his way of teaching disciples is pretty good.
Don't be competitive and don't be greedy for opportunities.
As long as the seniors are willing, the disciples of Qingyun Sect can definitely live a long life.
Even if it's a funeral, at least it won't be that short.
The young Taoist priest glanced at Lao Jin, who looked a little uneasy, but fortunately, the Taoist priest nodded in the end.
Therefore, under Lao Jin's secret arrangement, several disciples of Qingyun Sect would often find some magical medicines in the mountains.
For high-level cultivators, these spiritual medicines are nothing, but for the Qi Condensation disciples of Qingyun Sect, these spiritual medicines are extremely precious.
The overall strength of Qingyun Sect was quickly improved.
What makes Lao Jin happy is that the old Taoist priest of Qingyun Sect is still good at managing disciples. These disciples did not think about going down the mountain after their strength increased, but still stayed in the sect.
The goal that Lao Jin set for these people is a hundred years, or at least they have to live to a hundred years.
This requirement should not be difficult to achieve.
Forty years later.
All six disciples of Qingyun Sect have entered the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Looking at the area within thousands of miles, the strength of Qingyun Sect is already quite good. If another Jindan powerhouse appears, it can be comparable to large sects like Qingxia Sect.
However, Qingyun Sect has a very low reputation among the surrounding cultivator circles because the disciples of Qingyun Sect rarely go down the mountain.
One day, a pigeon flew to Qingyun Sect and landed in the courtyard of a disciple.
An hour later, in the main hall of Qingyun Sect.
The old Taoist looked at his disciple kneeling on the ground with a complicated expression.
"Master, I concealed the truth on purpose. I will accept your punishment."
The old Taoist smiled bitterly. How could he punish him? He was the one who wanted to take the third brother as his disciple, and he tricked the Qingyun Sect into joining by half-deceiving means.
At that time, there were very few people in the sect, and in order to find some disciples, he almost used both coaxing and deceiving people. As long as he saw someone with the aptitude for cultivation, he would trick him into going to the mountain.
The third brother had a good physique. In order to trick the third brother into joining Qingyun Sect, he boasted that Qingyun Sect was a big sect. Only then did the third brother agree to join Qingyun Sect.
But who would have thought that the third brother was actually a descendant of the Chu royal family.
No wonder, no wonder the third brother often visits the graves on the mountain when he has nothing to do. He also inquired about the origins of the owners of those graves. One of them was the last loyal minister before the demise of the Chu State.
"My ancestors were incompetent and lost the country. If the Wu Kingdom's royal family could let the people live a good life, I would not think of restoring the country. But now the Wu Kingdom's royal family is even more corrupt and the people are living in misery. I just want to atone for my ancestors, overthrow the Wu Kingdom and give the people a peaceful life. Then I will go up the mountain to honor my master."
The old Taoist knew that his three disciples were determined to leave, and it was useless to say anything. In the end, he could only sigh and say, "Remember what I have told you all these years."
"Disciple understands that when encountering a strong enemy, one should flee, and must not fight head-on."
That night, the three disciples of Qingyun Sect went straight down the mountain.
Three months later, the Wu State encountered an uprising of rebels. The rebels captured several cities and were about to reach the capital of the Wu State. Several immortal cultivators appeared and several generals of the rebels were beheaded.
When Lao Jin learned the news and rushed to Qingyun Sect, he found that Qingyun Sect was deserted.
The Taoist master from Qingyun Sect brought five disciples down the mountain to avenge his disciple.
"Damn, wasn't it agreed to be stable?"
Lao Jin was depressed. He said so many good things, but why did he lose his composure when something happened to his disciples? The entire sect was mobilized, so you should at least leave one person behind.
One month later.
The Wu Kingdom was destroyed, but the master and disciples of Qingyun Sect never returned.
Behind the Wu Kingdom stood a sect, and all the masters and disciples of the Qingyun Sect, from the old Taoist to the last disciple, died in the battle with the sect.
Peach Blossom View.
Old Jin looked at the young Taoist priest and didn't know what to say.
After a while, the young Taoist priest suddenly laughed, stood up from the rattan chair, and bowed towards the top of the mountain: "Funeral, funeral, from now on I will be the funeral director."
As the young Taoist priest finished speaking, Wuyi Mountain shook, and countless earth energy diffused at this moment.
Before Lao Jin could react to what was happening, the young Taoist priest disappeared in front of him.
