Chapter 2241 Attacking the Mountain
"The people from Yuanjing Mountain still don't come out. Do you want to be cowards for the rest of your life?"
"Kill the murderer, hand him over!"
"If you don't hand over the murderer, we will break into the mountain gate!"
"Yes, break into the mountain gate!"
"Break into the mountain gate!"
……
The crowd blocked the mountain gate, and people kept shouting and cursing at the mountain, the crowd was very excited.
Inside the mountain gate, a group of Yuan Jingshan disciples gathered in front of the master's hall. When they heard the dirty words coming from outside the mountain, they were so angry that their faces turned red.
Nowadays, Yuanjing Mountain has not only five masters and disciples. During the time when Master Tongshen was in seclusion, they followed the master's instructions and accepted many more disciples.
The eldest brother Qingyan has to perform the duties of the Immortal Guard on behalf of the master. Qin Sang goes out from time to time and stays in seclusion when he comes back, so Qinghong is in charge of all the affairs in the mountains, with Shuangluo assisting him.
Most of these disciples were registered under the names of these two people. Just a few days ago, one of the disciples caused trouble, which led to today's disaster.
The story begins with the reconstruction of the mountain gate of Yuanjing Mountain.
Back then, Master Tongshen brought his eldest disciple Qingyan to visit the Qingjiang Sect and had a sparring match with the sect leader, who was defeated and admitted defeat.
The essence of this competition was a gamble, a contest of strength between the two sides. Afterwards, Master Tongshen had a secret talk with the leader of the Qingjiang Sect, and Master Tongshen not only obtained a mountain gate, but also the nearby cultivation resources, which were originally in the pocket of the Qingjiang Sect.
There is a river near Yuanjing Mountain called Qingtuo River. The river flows from north to south. Qingjiang School is located in the upper reaches of Qingtuo River and was built along the river, hence the name.
Originally, the entire Qingtuo River Basin was the sphere of influence of the Qingjiang Sect, and the rest of the independent cultivator families and small sects could only rely on it. The arrival of Master Tongshen and Yuan Jingshan broke the tranquility of the Qingtuo River Basin and forcibly took a large piece of meat out of the Qingjiang Sect's bowl.
But it was not entirely a bad thing for the Qingjiang Sect. As more and more monks moved in from other places, the structure of Yongtu Immortal City and its surrounding areas were greatly affected. Small sects could only go with the flow. The forces in many places were reshuffled, and countless sects disappeared in the long river of history.
Master Tongshen is an immortal guard with the support of the immortal city. He has worked hard for many years and is now the deputy commander of the team. The leader of the Qingjiang Sect is willing to swallow his anger because he sees Master Tongshen's background and his ability to protect the peace of this area.
After discussions, the two sides agreed to use a mountain range in the middle section of the Qingtuo River as the boundary, divide the river and govern separately without interfering with each other.
However, firstly, Yuan Jingshan was an outsider, and Master Tongshen did not want to be aggressive. Secondly, there were only five people in the sect at the beginning, and there was not much demand for external objects for cultivation. Therefore, Master Tongshen did not forcibly drive away the forces of the Qingjiang Sect. Many resources south of the border were still controlled by the Qingjiang Sect. Seeing that Yuan Jingshan was swallowing his anger, the Qingjiang Sect stretched out its hands more and more, and the agreement between the two sides was in name only.
As the number of disciples at Yuanjing Mountain increased, in order to support the sect, it was necessary to take back those resources, which inevitably led to friction with the Qingjiang Sect. Intimidated by the reputation of Master Tongshen, it was relatively smooth at first. Even though the Qingjiang Sect was dissatisfied, it could only withdraw its forces one after another and did not dare to openly tear up the agreement.
However, when the Qingjiang Sect retreated to the boundary, they encountered trouble. The mountain range that served as the boundary was actually a Feng Shui treasure land with several resources, which would be of great benefit to the Yuanjing Mountain of the Water and Fire practitioners. They had to fight for it no matter what. Master Tongshen had just arrived and had not expected this. He had not confirmed the ownership of the mountain range with the Qingjiang Sect.
Qinghong and Shuangluo negotiated with the Qingjiang Sect many times. The negotiation process was extremely difficult and there were many frictions between the disciples of the two sects. Fortunately, they all remained restrained and no casualties occurred.
Just a while ago, the Qingjiang Sect suddenly changed its behavior and became aggressive and its attitude became more and more arrogant. Qinghong had a premonition that something was wrong, and then something happened. A disciple of Yuan Jingshan killed a deacon of the Qingjiang Sect.
The death of the deacon was very strange, but it was not important. It was enough to become a reason for the Qingjiang faction to attack, until it evolved into the situation today.
Qinghong stood in front of the master's hall, his face as gloomy as water.
In front of her, a young man in naked clothes was kneeling.
"Master!"
The young man in red was the one who killed the steward. He kowtowed heavily, his tiger eyes filled with tears. "I dare not bring trouble to Master and the sect. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. If I kill one of them, I will give them their lives. Let me go down the mountain! I will repay Master's kindness in my next life!"
When the other disciples saw this, they all felt sad and angry, and felt sympathetic.
The young man in red is named Lan Jingchuan. He is Qing Hong's eldest disciple and the eldest senior brother of the third generation of Yuan Jingshan. He is not only extremely talented, but also has both good morals and is very prestigious among the disciples.
He was the one who accidentally killed the deacon of Qingjiang Sect.
"Confused!"
Qing Hong lightly rebuked, "The Qingjiang faction is deliberately breaking their promise. Even if you commit suicide in front of them, they can find other reasons to continue to make trouble."
Shuangluo said gently, "Jingchuan, your master and I have seen the video of you fighting with the deacon, and we know you are not lying. According to common sense, your last blow could only seriously injure the deacon at most, and his death must have had other reasons."
While comforting Lan Jingchuan, Shuangluo sent a voice message to Qinghong: "Senior sister, is there any news about the senior brother and junior brother?"
There was worry in her eyes.
The Qingjiang faction came with great force this time, ready to break through the mountain protection formation and attack Yuanjing Mountain.
There is a lot behind this matter. Something must have happened that they don't know about.
The master is in seclusion and is at the critical moment of breaking through the bottleneck. They must not interfere with the master's cultivation, so the four of them have to take the lead.
"Big Brother should have received the letter. Junior Brother may not be in the Immortal City. I don't know where he went..."
Qing Hong changed his tone, "It's better if Junior Brother doesn't come back. What if Junior Brother's talent is exposed? The situation is unclear now. I'm afraid someone is hiding in the dark with ulterior motives, which may harm Junior Brother!"
Yuan Jingshan protected Qin Sang very well. Only the master and his five disciples knew about Qin Sang's talent. Lan Jingchuan and other disciples had only heard of this junior uncle but had never seen him in person.
Shuangluo felt a little scared.
They suspected that the Qingjiang Sect's attack this time was probably intended to force the master out and interfere with his breakthrough. If the enemy knew about the junior brother's talent, they would definitely secretly harm him.
As the two were communicating, the commotion outside the mountain grew louder, with some people even starting to curse loudly.
It was not only the monks of Qingjiang Sect who gathered in front of Yuanjing Mountain. The Qingjiang Sect came with the corpse to seek justice, and made a big fuss along the way, attracting all the forces in the Qingtuo River Basin.
In front of the crowd, someone was carrying a coffin. The deacon was lying in the coffin, having already died. His body looked very strange: half of it was moist and had a layer of frost on the surface, while the other half was charred, as if it had been burned by fire.
This strange phenomenon just fits the technique of Yuan Jingshan.
All of Yuan Jingshan's disciples practice both water and fire. When they attack, water and fire appear together. Their characteristics are very distinct.
The deacon's family members surrounded the coffin and cried out loudly. Their cries were so miserable that anyone who heard them felt sad and anyone who saw them cried.
At the back of the crowd, there were a few people with extraordinary temperaments, looking at Yuan Jingshan coldly.
No matter how the victim's family cried and shouted, there was no movement in the mountain protection formation. The onlookers could not help but talk about it, most of them blaming Yuan Jingshan.
"Junior sister, can you tell anything from the corpse?"
Qing Hong asked via voice transmission.
The noise outside the mountain did not affect her. She thought calmly, trying to figure out how to break the impasse. Of course there was a way, but she didn't know what the Qingjiang Sect relied on or what the secrets were, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
Now, the best way to break the deadlock is to start with the corpse.
Shuangluo shook her head slightly. "Looking at the way he died, he was indeed killed by our sect's magical power. It looks like he was killed by Jingchuan. Junior Sister can't see any flaws, unless there is someone who is proficient in the Water and Fire Combination Chapter."
The foundation of Yuan Jingshan is the chapter on the harmony of water and fire in the "Theory of the Correspondence of Yin and Yang". It is not a simple practice of practicing both water and fire. Even if someone can practice both water and fire techniques at the same time, they cannot imitate the characteristics of Yuan Jingshan.
At this time, someone outside the mountain shouted, "Humph! Don't blame me for being unjust if you are unkind. I will give you another stick of incense. If you still don't give us Qingjiang Sect an explanation after one stick of incense, I will start to attack your mountain protection formation!"
Upon hearing this, the cultivators at Yuanjing Mountain became furious.
Qinghong and Shuangluo looked at each other. They deliberately delayed just to test the Qingjiang Sect's background and see how confident the Qingjiang Sect was. They didn't expect that they would actually attack Yuanjing Mountain.
Time passes slowly.
A stick of incense passed quickly, and Yuan Jingshan still did not respond.
The onlookers turned to look at the Qingjiang faction, wanting to know whether they dared to take action.
'Shuh! '
The Qingjiang Sect did not disappoint everyone. All the cultivators flew forward and removed their disguises. It was led by the sect's chief disciple, with the sect's elders on both sides.
Except for the leader of Qingjiang Sect, most of the masters of Qingjiang Sect are present.
At this point, everyone realized that the Qingjiang faction was not bluffing and really wanted to turn against Yuan Jingshan!
Some alert people noticed that the situation was strange and quietly left the place, not wanting to be involved in the storm.
The chief disciple of Qingjiang Sect stepped out from the crowd and looked up at the top of the mountain. His sight seemed to be able to penetrate the mountain protection formation and see the disciples of Yuan Jingshan in front of the main hall.
He spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, "Deacon Xia is the eldest grandson of the previous great elder of my Qingjiang Sect. Elder Xia worked hard for the Qingjiang Sect and made great contributions. It can be said that without Elder Xia, there would be no Qingjiang Sect today. Now, the descendants of Elder Xia have been murdered, but Yuan Jingshan is protecting the murderer. If the Qingjiang Sect swallows its anger, it will make everyone in the Qingjiang Sect feel disheartened! Today, I, You Chen, will represent the Qingjiang Sect to seek justice for Elder Xia and Deacon Xia."
These words are very powerful.
You Chen's eyes turned cold, "Elders, listen to my orders, form a battle array!"
The cultivators behind him responded loudly. The elders of Qingjiang Sect each led a team of disciples, flew into the air, and deployed their troops in front of Yuanjing Mountain, heading straight for the mountain protection formation.
"kill!"
You Chen took out a sword and swung it forward.
All the cultivators attacked at the same time. Dragon-like streams of light rose into the sky, entwined with each other in the sky, and finally turned into a huge spear, like a battering ram, aimed at one of the light pillars of the mountain protection formation, as if it was about to crash into it.
Seeing this scene, Qinghong and Shuangluo no longer had any hope.
The Qingjiang faction is not bluffing; they must respond and find a way to resolve this difficulty.
Holding on to Yuanjing Mountain is definitely not a long-term solution. Once the mountain protection formation comes under a strong attack, it will shake Yuanjing Mountain and also alarm the master.
Qing Hong's figure flashed, but he reappeared, looking into the distance with a slightly relaxed expression, "Big Brother is back!"
'call! '
Just as the giant spear was about to pierce Yuan Jingshan, lightning suddenly flashed in the sky, followed by a roar: "Stop!"
The lightning flashed quickly and everyone saw that it was a beam of light and immediately guessed the person's identity.
"Master Brother Yuan Jingshan is here. I heard that he is also a fairy guard of the fairy city and is highly respected in the fairy city. There will be something interesting to watch!"
Qing Yan was quite famous, and his arrival caused a stir.
At this time, outside Yuanjing Mountain.
In a distant mountain, beside a stream, there is a stone table and stone bench. Two people are sitting on either side of a chessboard, playing chess.
One of them was the leader of the Qingjiang School, and the one playing chess with him was an old man in a green robe.
It was the turn of the leader of Qingjiang Sect to make his move. He held the chess piece, hesitant, as if something was on his mind.
The old man in green robe felt something in his heart. He looked out over the mountain and said with a smile, "This boy is back. There is still a little disciple left outside. There is nothing to worry about. The overall situation has been decided. I would like to congratulate you in advance."
The leader of Qingjiang Sect raised his head, with a cloud between his eyebrows. It was only when he saw the escaping light that his eyebrows relaxed slightly. "He's the only one?"
The old man in green robe said calmly: "After all, this boy is an immortal guard of Yongtu Immortal City. It will cause great trouble to rob and kill him halfway. However, with my son's connections, we can still ask someone to make some arrangements to separate him from his companions temporarily. As long as today passes, this boy can't change anything even if he invites helpers."
After a pause, the green-robed old man asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you still worried about that Master Tongshen?"
The leader of the Qingjiang School had no intention of playing chess, so he simply put the chess pieces into the chess box and remained silent, obviously agreeing with the old man's words.
"Since the Qingjiang Sect has joined forces with our Tianjing Sect, we will be the ones to deal with it. What are you afraid of, fellow Daoist? From now on, Qingtuo River will still belong to the Qingjiang Sect, and no one will compete with you for it anymore," the old man in green robe said with pride.
While the two were talking, Qing Yan had already arrived at Yuanjing Mountain, his face filled with anger, and he blocked the way for the Qingjiang Sect practitioners.
Qingyan returned, and Yuanjing Mountain finally opened its gates. Qinghong and Shuangluo led their men out.
The leader of the Qingjiang Sect and the old man in green robes just looked in the distance and had no intention of showing up.
Suddenly, the old man in green robe's expression changed slightly. He looked up and saw a white cloud floating in the sky, seemingly slow but actually fast.
After a while, the white clouds descended and three people walked down from the clouds. Among them was a young man in white, followed by two pretty women.
This boy holds a folding fan, has bright eyes, is elegant and suave, and is a handsome and elegant gentleman.
Facing the young man in white, the old man in green robe actually stood up and saluted, "This old servant greets you, sir."
The young man in white asked, "What happened?"
The old man in green robe pointed at Yuan Jingshan and said, "Everything has been arranged according to your instructions. We can close the net today."
The young man in white nodded slightly and looked towards Yuanjing Mountain. He happened to see Qinghong and Shuangluo flying out of the mountain gate together. He was shocked.
'Snapped! '
The young man in white clapped his folding fan, staring intently with his eyes shining and exclaiming in praise.
"What a pair of peerless beauties!"
