Chapter 2253 War begins
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
The young man was brave enough to pick herbs on the cliff. He was very excited when he heard the words. He used his hands and feet to climb up the almost straight cliff. When he was hungry, he ate the dry food he brought with him. When he was tired, he hugged the branches to rest. The only thing he was afraid of was that Qin Sang would leave suddenly, so he looked up from time to time.
Qin Sang waited for him patiently.
The boy was indeed strong, and he actually climbed to the top of the mountain with his own hands and feet. Near the top of the mountain was a smooth stone wall with only a few thin vines hanging down.
The boy rested for a while, grabbed the thin vine, pushed his feet against the stone wall, swung in the air a few times, and tried to throw himself to the top of the mountain.
Such courage and willpower were truly rare. Qin Sang secretly praised him and helped him secretly.
'Snapped! '
The young man fell in front of Qin Sang, only an inch away from the edge of the cliff. He had no idea what fear was, and his face was filled with joy and excitement.
"Disciple Che Feilong greets Master!"
The boy was about to kneel down and kowtow, but his head was held down by a force and he couldn't kowtow any further.
"I won't accept any disciples, so don't call me Master. Just call me Senior!"
Qin Sang said without question, "I can teach you magic. In exchange, you have to stay here for me and wait for someone."
From that day on, the villagers in the town noticed that the western hillside was suddenly covered with white fog.
The thick fog covered half of the mountain, and the Ning family's old house was shrouded in the fog.
At first people thought it was just a morning fog, but after more than ten days, the fog showed no sign of dissipating. Some people were curious and brave enough to go up the mountain. When they entered the fog, it was like encountering a ghost wall. They were so hungry that they felt dizzy and finally got out.
After the news spread, the Ning family massacre was mentioned again. People said it was the wronged ghosts seeking revenge, which made people panic. From then on, no one dared to go near the place anymore.
In fact, Qin Sang opened up a cave in the old house of the Ning family. Che Feilong was able to learn Taoism and usually practiced in the old house of the Ning family and guarded the stone pavilion.
……
Not long after Liu Chengping left, the leader of the Dongliang Sect came to visit in person.
Qin Sang was not afraid of the secrets here being exposed, so he chose to receive the head of the Dongliang Sect at the top of Yuji Mountain. In fact, the formation of Yuji Mountain was very secretive, otherwise it would not have remained undiscovered for so many years.
He prepared the spiritual tea himself and motioned for Master Qi to taste it. "Fellow Daoist Qi, it is not that I intentionally set foot in your clan's territory. Back then, Master Ning and I were friends of gentlemen, and Master Ning did not know my true identity. Although Master Ning is a mortal, we had a great conversation and became lifelong friends! This time I came out of retreat, thinking of the past, and calculated that my old friend had passed away. I originally came here only to pay tribute to my old friend, but I did not expect that the Ning family was wiped out. It is reasonable for me to avenge this blood feud for my old friend. Do you agree with me, Master Qi?"
Sect Leader Qi was not in the mood to drink tea. His purpose this time was to test Qin Sang's intentions, whether he was really standing up for his friend or was taking advantage of the situation to have other plans.
Seeing that Qin Sang was serious and not pretending, Sect Leader Qi felt relieved and said, "Daoyou Qingfeng is so righteous, I admire you! We in the Dongliang Sect will do our best to catch the murderer and will not show any leniency!"
"Good work!"
Qin Sang bowed and said to the person beside him, "Feilong, come here."
"Feilong greets the two seniors," Che Feilong saluted respectfully. He was personally trained by Qin Sang and had entered the door of cultivation in just a few days.
Noticing the curious look from Sect Leader Qi, Qin Sang explained, "The Ning family has no descendants, and the incense has ceased. Feilong and I happened to be predestined, so I will teach him some Taoist techniques and let him guard the Ning family's mausoleum. In addition, if there are still descendants of the Ning family alive who come to pay homage, I can also lead them back to the mountain for me. I hope Sect Leader Qi will help me."
This is the territory of the Dongliang Sect. Qin Sang doesn't want to conflict with the local tyrants, so he can occupy Yuji Mountain with justification.
A mere town and a few hills are nothing to the Dongliang Sect. Moreover, this place is not considered the hinterland of the Dongliang Sect, so it is not important. Master Qi hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
After seeing Qin Sang in person and confirming that he was not targeting the Dongliang Sect, Sect Leader Qi felt relieved and returned to the mountain to order his disciples to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Not long after, Liu Chengping and other Dongliang Sect monks came to Yuji Mountain to pay homage to Qin Sang. Behind him followed a Dharma boat, which was filled with a chaotic atmosphere and seemed to have many people.
"You wait here."
Liu Chengping gave an instruction to Fazhou and flew to the top of the mountain with an old man.
"Meet Senior Qingfeng!"
The two bowed and saluted. "The whole story of the Ning family tragedy has been basically investigated. All the evidence and clues are here. Please take a look!"
As they spoke, the two men waved their hands, and more monks from the Dongliang Sect flew up carrying wooden boxes.
When the wooden box was opened, gold, silver, jewelry, volumes and secret letters were found, all of which were classified and carefully organized according to the chronological sequence.
Qin Sang activated his spiritual sense to check the contents and listened to Liu Chengping slowly telling him the truth they had found out.
"Mr. Ning was transferred to the capital to serve as an official, but he suddenly resigned three years later and moved his family to Dangyang Prefecture. In the following years, Mr. Ning lived in seclusion here and never left Dangyang Prefecture. Then he was suddenly hit by a disaster and his whole family was killed. In the second year, Dangyang Prefecture welcomed a new lord, Fu Qiyuan, who immediately trained the troops and wiped out the bandits..."
"Now, Fu Qiyuan has passed away due to old age, but there are still some clues that cannot be erased. Facts have proved that the purpose of him being sent to Dangyang Mansion was not simple, and there was the instruction of the then Prime Minister Lu Jiang behind it!"
"According to investigation, when Mr. Ning was an official in the capital, he disagreed with Prime Minister Lu Jiang in terms of political views and could not exert his power. He was discouraged and chose to resign. However, during this period of seclusion, Mr. Ning was still worried about the country and wrote many memorials, many of which were critical of government orders. Little did he know that the emperor was weak at the time and Prime Minister Lu Jiang controlled the government, so all the memorials fell into his hands. These memorials were burned and we did not find them, but Lu Jiang's descendants testified that this was indeed the case...
"It's been too long, and the parties involved are all dead, so it's hard to restore the whole truth. But we can infer that it was Master Ning who angered the Prime Minister Lu Jiang, which led to his death. Lu Jiang instructed his subordinates to bribe a group of bandits, and after the bandits succeeded, he sent Fu Qiyuan to wipe out the bandits and kill them!"
Liu Chengping explained the whole story in one breath. There was evidence for each and every event, and he also found witnesses as much as possible for the vague parts in the middle and connected the story together in a reasonable way.
After finding out the truth, everyone in the Dongliang Sect breathed a sigh of relief. Facts have proved that this was purely a political struggle in the mortal world, and there was no immortal cultivator hiding behind the scenes.
At least there is no need to worry about implicating the Dongliang Sect.
"Bring everyone up!"
Liu Chengping turned around and shouted at Fazhou.
"No need!"
Qin Sang waved his sleeves, and a gust of wind swept the wooden boxes down the mountain. He said coldly, "Since the real murderer has been found, you should punish those who are involved with the real murderer according to their crimes!"
"Junior, please obey!"
Liu Chengping understood the situation and bowed before leaving. Before leaving, he said, "The bandits who committed the crime have been wiped out, and those who knew about it have all grown old. The bodies of the Ning family were later burned to ashes, and it is impossible to restore the full picture of that night. I wonder if there were other people present. Perhaps there were survivors of the Ning family who were taken away. Don't worry, senior. I will continue to search. As long as there are clues, I will find the descendants of the Ning family even if I have to dig three feet of the ground!"
After saying this, Liu Chengping retreated outside the mountain and returned to the Dharma Boat.
The Dharma Boat shook slightly and turned away.
Qin Sang stared out of the mountain with a gloomy look in his eyes. This was exactly the result he least wanted to see.
The family massacre was simply caused by grudges in the mortal world, and there was no trace of immortal cultivators, which means that after Liuli entered the illusion, she just encountered an "ordinary" accident.
Such accidents are very common and difficult to prevent.
If they had not met Master Tongshen back then, before he had the power to protect himself, his parents might have accidentally offended the powerful in the city, or had an argument with a vicious villager, which might have resulted in their deaths.
in case……
Will Liuli continue to reincarnate?
Qin Sang sighed inwardly, the clue he had finally obtained was lost again.
Next, Qin Sang practiced on the stone bridge of Yuji Mountain, waiting for news from Dongliang Sect while thinking about countermeasures.
This evening.
Qin Sang came to the top of the mountain as usual, activated the formation flags to cover up the sky, and practiced "Heavenly Demon Refining Form".
Over the years, year after year, he would practice his skills every few days, sense the starry sky, and wait for that calling voice to reappear.
Qin Sang sat cross-legged and circulated his qi and blood, because "The Heavenly Demon Refining Form" had reached a bottleneck, and one more step would allow him to cultivate the true Dharma image. Qin Sang did not dare to break through rashly, so he only circulated a few cycles each time.
Today's starry sky is as bright as usual.
The starlight above Qin Sang's head swayed slightly, as if attracted and poured down.
The next moment, Qin Sang's expression suddenly changed. After many years, he finally "heard" the sound from deep space again!
The voice became weaker, but Qin Sang's cultivation was much better than before, and he could hear some words clearly. It was the same voice calling, which meant it was still the same person as before!
However, Qin Sang is most concerned about himself now. When he called out, the shadow of the Dharma image did not show any unusual movements, which made him feel a little relieved.
Qin Sang would then open the mustard seed magic weapon, take out the formation device that he had refined in advance, and set up a large protective formation to prevent being attacked while communicating with the other party.
At this moment, Qin Sang stopped.
Because he thought that the other party might be a powerful Qingluan clan member who had reached the level of Demon Soul Star. When communicating with the other party, it would be best for him to disguise himself as a Qingluan clan cultivator while being in the human race's sphere of influence.
The other party is in the sky, and I don’t know if he can see the scene below. If he asks me about it, it will be difficult for me to explain.
"It would be best to go to the front line again..."
Qin Sang thought so and appeared in the Ning family's old house.
Che Feilong was practicing. When he sensed Qin Sang's arrival, he pushed the door open and bowed, "Greetings, Senior."
Qin Sang said, "I will be away for a while. You stay here alone. If you encounter any trouble, crush the jade talisman and Dongliang Sect will send someone to help you."
"I will definitely perform my duties conscientiously!" Che Feilong said solemnly.
Qin Sang nodded, looked deeply at the stone pavilion, and flew away.
Before leaving, Qin Sang specifically informed the Dongliang Sect. Unexpectedly, after receiving a reply from the Dongliang Sect, he learned an unexpected news.
"Is there a war?"
Qin Sang was surprised when he saw the information sent by Dongliang.
When he returned from the Golden Eagle Tribe, the situation had not changed much. He did not expect the war to break out so soon.
It’s not that there weren’t battles before, but they were all confined to small battlefields. Both sides exercised restraint and were unwilling to escalate the situation.
This time was different, as flames of war broke out on multiple battlefields almost at the same time. The Yongtu Immortal City issued orders to all parties, mobilizing all sects and all human cultivators and descendants of gods to jointly resist foreign invaders and defend the Immortal City!
This is a matter of great justice, and no human sect or power can shirk it. The Dongliang Sect is making all-out preparations for war.
Although there has been no official declaration of war between Yongtu Fairy City and the Phoenix Clan, anyone with a discerning eye can see that war is imminent!
"finally come!"
Qin Sang held the talisman tightly and murmured.
He had been waiting for this day. In his opinion, if he wanted to break out of the illusion, he either had to find an unusual place in the illusion and get guidance, such as a call from deep space, or the illusion would undergo a drastic change, leading to some opportunity.
The war between humans and demons is the best opportunity!
This illusion was so perfect and so real that Qin Sang had lived here for decades and almost thought he was in a real world.
It certainly wouldn’t evolve for no reason. This era is finally about to begin!
Now, two opportunities to break the deadlock appear at the same time, and I must seize them firmly.
Thinking of this, Qin Sang sped up and headed straight for Yongtu Immortal City.
He had a position and was assigned a temporary cave in Yongtu Fairy City. As soon as he returned to the cave, he saw the talisman sent from Yuan Jingshan.
The letter was sent by Senior Sister Qinghong. It turned out that Senior Zhou and Senior Brother Qingyan had also received the order and had rushed to the front line.
After the war started, Tianjing Sect had no time to target Yuanjingshan anymore. Qinghong assured Qin Sang that the sect had returned to normal.
It is enough to have Qin Sang and Qing Yan represent Yuan Jingshan in the battle, so Master Tongshen can stay at the mountain gate and concentrate on breaking through.
Qin Sang took a short break and immediately returned to the team. As his cultivation was exposed, the Immortal City actually sent a commander of the Immortal Guards. The reason was that Qin Sang's cultivation speed was different from that of ordinary people, and he had already entered the vision of the city's high-level officials. This time, the city's high-level officials specially sent people to summon him, wanting to train him as an elite.
The leader of the Immortal Guards said bluntly that if a genius like Qin Sang died on the battlefield, it would be a loss to Yongtu Immortal City and even the entire human race!
Qin Sang had anticipated this, but he insisted on going to the front line, saying that the reason why his cultivation speed was so fast was inseparable from his experience, otherwise he would just be lost in the crowd.
The leader of the Immortal Guards had no choice but to agree to Qin Sang's request, but he did not allow Qin Sang to go to the demon tribe as a spy. He also made special arrangements to send Qin Sang to a place where the fighting was not so intense, to garrison a stronghold, and allowed him to apply to the Immortal City for anything he needed during his practice.
War brings disaster, but it is often also accompanied by opportunities.
Afterwards, Qin Sang boarded the Dharma ship and headed for the front line.
The two sides were still in a stalemate on the front line, but the rear was temporarily stable. They encountered no danger along the way and arrived at their destination smoothly.
That night, Qin Sang found an excuse to leave the city and enter the territory controlled by the demon clan.
