Chapter 112 The beacon in the world
Li Zhizong looked at Fang Ling's face a few times, and then said, "If Junior Brother Fang is in seclusion, it is normal not to know. A month ago, the Lianzun Sect tricked the people into causing trouble in the 23 states of Lu State, and for a time it was claimed to be a million elite soldiers!"
"I shouldn't have participated in this mortal uprising, but in the Lotus Sect, there were many cultivators. These cultivators killed mortal soldiers without regard to the precepts set by my five major sects."
"The king of Lu asked for help from our five sects. After discussion by the elders of various sects, our five sects sent a total of 200 foundation-building monks to assist Lu in quelling the rebellion."
Fang Ling was not surprised that the five major sects would send people to help Lu quell the rebellion of the Lianzun Sect. After all, the king of Lu was just a great steward of the five major sects. Lu was uneasy, and the most harmful one was the five major sects!
But the Lianzun Sect is not simple. Although Xu Libing did not tell her origin, Fang Ling guessed that Xu Libing was probably a disciple of the Lianzun Sect. Since the Lianzun Sect dared to fight against the five major sects, they would definitely not have no bargaining chips in their hands.
The thought flashed in his mind, and Fang Ling said in his mouth: "Thank you, senior brother, for your advice. I don't know what the situation is now?"
"It is still in a stalemate. Our five major sects and the monks of the Lianzun Sect have only had a few contacts, and they have won and lost each other. Because there are too many rebels in the Lianzun Sect, our five major sects have decided to work together to protect one part of each to ensure the safety of Qudu City."
Li Zhizong said it very simply, but Fang Ling could still hear some of the implicit meanings in his words. What is the cooperation between them should be among the five major sects, and there are also some dirty things.
"A few days ago, I met Senior Brother Bai Yuqi of the Guizong at a party. At that time, he said he was going to refine a Gengjin Formation Flag. I wonder if he had finished training?" A short and fat middle-aged man standing behind Li Zhizong suddenly said with a smile.
Fang Ling looked at the middle-aged man with a kind smile on his face, as if he was asking about the movements of his friends, and said casually: "Senior Brother Bai has already refined the Gengjin Formation Flag. But a few days ago, I heard that Senior Brother Bai got the three imperial spirit flags that Elder Li had envoyed back then, and his strength increased greatly."
The short and fat middle-aged man looked at Li Zhizong, and then the vigilance of several people was closed a little further. Li Zhizong smiled and said, "Junior Brother Fang, the direction you are going to be a hundred miles away is the territory of the Lianzun Sect. There are quite a few strong hands in the Lianzun Sect. Although the junior brother is profound in Taoism, it is better to return."
Seeing that Li Zhizong was serious, Fang Ling was about to figure out the situation first. He asked for advice: "Senior Brother Li, how many foundation-building cultivators are there in Lianzun's side?"
"There should be more than 30 at least." Li Zhizong touched his lips and said in a deep voice: "In addition, I doubt whether there is a Jindan real person among them."
Jindan Zhenren, Fang Ling's face also changed. Although he thought that his cultivation was not bad, he would definitely not be willing to face Jindan Zhenren before the juncture of life and death.
"Junior Brother Fang, I think if you have nothing urgent to do, it is best to return to Xilingzhou and meet with other brothers from your family..."
Before Li Zhizong could finish his words, he heard a cheerful voice from afar: "Is Senior Brother Zhizong in front?"
"It's Brother Wei, Junior Brother Li Gui, why did you come here from such a distance?" Li Zhizong looked at the sword light flying from afar, and then smiled and said.
The sword light flew quickly, and in just a few breaths, it came to everyone. When Fang Ling heard Li Zhizong call the man's name, he felt a little moved. When the man took the sword light, wasn't it Li Gui who was the one who presided over the road to becoming immortal?
Li Gui did not see Fang Ling. He smiled at Li Zhizong and said, "Senior Brother Zhizong, Junior Brother Lin is very happy to know that all the senior brothers are coming. Because he wants to take charge of the Lin family affairs, he cannot leave, so he sent me to greet you."
"Junior Brother Mu Cheng is so polite. He is all his own people, so why bother with him?" Although Li Zhizong said this, the smile on his face was very bright.
Li Gui smiled and said, "Senior brothers, why are these junior brothers Lin's wishes? Junior brother Lin has arranged a banquet in Linfancheng. We brothers haven't seen each other for some days, so we should have a good exchange."
As he spoke, Li Gui's eyes fell on Fang Ling.
"Junior Brother Li Gui, let me introduce you to you. This is a fellow Taoist Fang from the Zhendao Sect. We happened to meet him here..." Li Zhisen introduced softly when he saw Li Gui's gaze falling on Fang Ling.
However, as soon as his words fell, Li Gui said a little like he had seen a ghost: "You... have you built the foundation?"
Fang Ling looked at Li Gui's horrified expression and couldn't help but feel a little proud. Although he knew that he shouldn't be proud at this time, his slight sense of complacency still emerged. Fang Ling was a mortal after all, not the kind of master who was not as good as the world's fireworks. It was normal for him to have such thoughts. He gently hugged Li Gui and said, "Senior Brother Li, long time no see."
After Li Gui confirmed that it was Fang Ling, his expression changed for a long time. His impression of Fang Ling can be said to be extremely profound. Before the road to becoming an immortal, he was given instructions by the elders of the sect to be included. To have been through thousands of years, no one could pass by Thousand Foshan Mountain, and then to choosing the True Dao Sect...
However, in Li Gui's impression, although Fang Ling, a young man, is not simple, his path to cultivation may only stop at the ninth level of Qi training.
The word "building foundation" has blocked the progress of many cultivators. Although Fang Ling entered the Zhendao Sect, judging from the joint instructions of the five major sects, Li Gui felt that Fang Ling had a slim chance to build the foundation.
But now, Fang Ling has actually built a foundation. Could it be that the Zhendao Sect has changed its mind or something else?
With a rumbling thought in his mind, Li Gui finally said a little stiff and bitterly: "Hello, Junior Brother Fang, I didn't expect that when the Mangqing Mountain parted, Junior Brother, you are already a foundation-building cultivator."
Li Zhizong did not expect that Li Gui would know Fang Ling, and he felt more at ease about Fang Ling's identity. At this time, he heard Li Gui say about Mangqing Mountain, and he smiled and said, "Did Junior Brother Li Gui presided over the road to becoming immortal together with Junior Brother Fang last year?"
"Junior Brother Fang is the one who climbed Qianfoshan last year." Li Gui pondered for a moment and immediately returned to normal.
As disciples of Qingyuan Sect, Li Zhizong and others are not unfamiliar with the path to ascending immortality. They also knew that a man had directly become a core disciple of the Zhendao Sect through Qianfoshan, which had not been around for thousands of years. However, they did not expect that this person was Fang Ling, and they did not expect that in just over a year, Junior Brother Fang had become a foundation-building cultivator. From the ninth level of Qi training to the foundation-building, even a very talented person was rarely so fast. For a moment, the eyes of several people looking at Fang Ling were a little strange.
Fang Ling spread his hands and chuckled, "I'm just a chance to break through the foundation building. By the way, I heard Senior Brother Li Gui talk about Senior Brother Lin Mucheng. Could it be that Senior Brother Lin is also here?"
Li Gui nodded and said, "Junior Brother Lin is right in front of you. Junior Brother Fang, I talked to Junior Brother Lin a few days ago. Junior Brother Lin did not choose our Qingyuan Sect, but I feel it's a pity!"
Fang Ling has always felt a little grateful to Lin Mucheng. If Lin Mucheng hadn't helped him a lot back then, the battle between him and the Chen family would have been a hundred times more difficult. At this time, when he heard about Lin Mucheng's news, he immediately said: "I haven't seen Senior Brother Lin some days. I should take this opportunity to pay homage to Senior Brother Lin."
After a few gossips, the few people flew towards Lin Fancheng on the east at the same time. Along the way, Li Zhizong and others were still pressing the sword light at the beginning, fearing that Fang Ling had just achieved foundation building and could not catch up with him and others.
But after walking more than ten miles, they discovered that Fang Ling's jade sword-controlling method was not inferior to them. He seemed a little leisurely while flying with his sword.
For a moment, the few people gave Fang Ling a higher evaluation. On the way, Fang Ling followed Li Gui closely and learned from Li Gui why Lin Mucheng was in Lin Fancheng.
The Lianzun Sect suddenly rebelled, and caught the emperor and ministers of Lu off guard. The troops stationed in various places in Lu were more like headless flies, and were defeated by the rebels supported by the Lianzun Sect within ten days.
Although the five major sects responded in time, the State of Lu could no longer provide a few uniform troops. In no way, the King of Lu had to issue an order to allow major families to recruit troops to quell the rebellion.
Lin Mucheng's family is a century-old family in Lin Fancheng. Whether in order to preserve the family or to make the Lin family stand up, they actively recruited soldiers to fight against the rebellious battle of the Lianzun Sect. To be honest, Lin Mucheng's nephew Lin Yuangong fought three times with the Lianzun Sect's sect after raising 30,000 troops.
Three battles and three victories have brought about the majesty of the Lin family's elite soldiers and expanded the 30,000 troops to 100,000. These 100,000 troops have become a force that cannot be ignored.
Just when they were in awe of momentum, in Hongyuanzhou, five hundred miles away, the local wealthy Jin family also gathered more than 100,000 troops. After the two armies junctions, the Jin family asked the Lin family's army to form an alliance. The alliance naturally would not be in vain. After the alliance, the Lin family's army would have to obey the command of the Jin family. The Lin family naturally would not agree to such alliances. This matter eventually evolved from a fight between ordinary forces to a fight between Lin Mucheng, a monk of the Lin family and the monks of the Jin family.
The two sides agreed that on this day of the alliance, they would invite their friends to compete in five games, and the winner would be the leader of the alliance.rs
