Chapter 484 Group members gathering!
Donglin Sect.
Back mountain.
In the purple bamboo forest, lush vegetation grows. Even though the outside world is approaching early winter and frost and snow are coming, the purple bamboo forest is still green and full of vitality and warmth, and is not invaded by the cold snow.
As we climbed up the mountain, we heard bursts of crisp and pleasant laughter just near the mountainside. Looking around, we saw a silver-haired girl. The little loli with a pair of ponytails in the past has now grown into a graceful girl with a fair and delicate face, wearing a silver dress, and dancing at every turn.
It is pleasing to the eye.
My mood naturally improved.
"Master uncle!"
The silver-haired girl also saluted the person who went up the mountain, and then shuttled through the purple bamboo forest like a happy bird. There were also several boys and girls of similar age with her, entangled with each other, so lively.
Shake your head slightly.
Continue to climb the mountain.
Near the top of the mountain.
There is an ancient pavilion, where several figures are drinking tea and chatting, and the aroma of tea is everywhere. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can overlook the vast eastern region of Huangzhou, and the snow-covered area is in sight. It is really beautiful.
"Tsk!"
"No. 5!"
"You are late!"
"Punish yourself with a cup!"
Jian Qingzhu is wearing a thin white dress, with a gentle smile on his face, facing the middle-aged man who is walking slowly, with a hint of interest at the corner of his mouth.
Look around casually.
On the pavilion.
There are only a few people.
But they are all acquaintances.
[No. 3: Gu Dongliu! ]
[No. 4: Jian Qingzhu! ]
[No. 5: The Lord of Huangtian Palace! ]
[No. 6: Li Sheng! ]
[No. 7: Wang Ye! ]
[No. 9: Chu Xun! 】
The gathering of the Jie Xin Ling was a rare gathering. Even though the Palace Master of the Desolate Heaven Palace, who had dealt with the affairs of the Desolate State, came at the fastest speed, he was still a little late. Looking at the people who had already sat down in the ancient pavilion, brewing tea and drinking wine, he couldn't help but smile and walked forward and said: "One cup of self-punishment is a bit too little. It's a rare good wine, so I should punish myself with three cups!"
Everyone started to make a noise.
With a bright smile on his face.
This was a rare gathering for this small group. Even Dugu Jue and Qi Wuhuo of the Yuhua Dynasty were not invited to this gathering. It was a friendship between group members.
Viewing the scenery on a snowy day.
Sitting down and drinking tea.
Talking to each other.
It was fun.
"It's a pity that No. 1, No. 2, and No. 8 in the group never showed up!" Gu Dongliu said with some regret. There were a total of nine people in the group. The six people who often participated in the group were rare gatherings, but the remaining three never showed up. I don't know if it was because the token had not been discovered yet, or for other reasons.
Wang Ye lay there lazily, sipped his wine, squinted his eyes, admired the beautiful scenery, smiled at No. 3's words, and said without minding: "If we are destined to meet, we will meet, so there is no need to rush!"
"Drink!"
Li Sheng raised the wine glass in his hand.
As the host, Chu Xun also smiled gently on his face. In his heart, he was very grateful to Jie Xin Ling. If it were not for Jie Xin Ling's help, he would not have the opportunity to know this opportunity, and there would be no trip to Ruzhou, and no one would help him in times of crisis. If he wanted to fight against the Qin Dynasty alone, he would be too weak.
So.
He was very grateful to Jie Xin Ling.
He also cherished the friendship of group friends.
Even if time was tight.
He still took time.
In the purple bamboo forest.
Drinking and chatting.
...
...
Compared to this.
Qin Dynasty.
But there is no such relaxed and quiet atmosphere. The defeat of the Desolate State has also made the supreme overlord of Zhongzhou feel the pressure. In the past, it was invincible. Relying on the Qin Dynasty's iron cavalry and elite soldiers, it continued to sweep across the eight wildernesses and expand the territory of the Qin Dynasty.
From the rise more than ten thousand years ago.
Bit by bit.
From a remote place.
To now.
It has occupied one-sixth of the land of Zhongzhou, and has swallowed up countless Taoist sects, immortal forces, and supreme dynasties, and put their scriptures into the Sutra Library. Relying on the vast and talented land of Zhongzhou, it has cultivated countless geniuses.
But the expansion all the time, with the defeat of the Desolate State, made those forces that had swallowed or surrounded it smell the opportunity to resist. Even a Desolate State with a quasi-emperor can resist this supreme dynasty, then this Qin Dynasty... is it really so terrible?
Even if it was just a hint, it was a particularly serious matter in the eyes of this supreme dynasty. A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant hole, let alone these untamed forces.
Qin Dynasty.
Imperial Palace.
In a certain hall.
A young man with long black hair draped over his chest and back was squatting there. He closed his eyes slightly, and the avenue waves lingering from his body filled the entire hall.
"Creaky!"
The closed door.
Slowly opened.
Qin Yuansheng, dressed in plain clothes, walked over. He was more restrained and depressed than when he was in the Wasteland State. His beard was shaggy, his eyes were dim, and his eyes were low, but he had not lost his edge. He was just blinded for a short time and could not get out of that hurdle.
Stepping into the hall, I felt the terrifying avenue around me. There was the pure Buddhist nature, which was ten times richer than the Buddhist disciples. There was the fluctuation of Confucianism, and there was also the Daozhou avenue, as well as various Dao rules scattered between heaven and earth. If I ignored the black-haired man sitting cross-legged above, I would have thought that this was the origin of the avenue.
"Too strong!"
Qin Yuansheng whispered softly.
He knew how powerful Ye Wushuang was. He had realized the Dao early on, and it was not a kind of Dao. His real fighting power far exceeded the prediction of Tianji Pavilion. After several years, he came to his brother-in-law's place of practice again, and only then did he know how powerful this black-robed young man was. Compared with him, even the quasi-emperor would not be his opponent.
In Huangzhou, he felt great oppression when fighting with Chu Xun, but he felt suffocated when facing this black-clothed young man. If he fought with Chu Xun, he could still fight back, but he couldn't even struggle with this one.
"Wushuang!" Qin Yuansheng shouted softly.
"Hmm!"
The black-clothed young man sitting cross-legged opened his eyes. His eyes were bright, his black hair was draped over his shoulders, and he was extremely handsome. The whole person revealed an outstanding temperament.
"I lost!" Qin Yuansheng said with a complicated feeling. He knew that the journey to the Wasteland State would not be so simple, but the final defeat still made him feel heartbroken and suffocated, especially when his subordinates died for him. Even though they had no way out, that was the best choice, but he still felt the struggle of his heart during this time. Otherwise, he could have achieved the status of a quasi-emperor by relying on the 'Great Way of the Halberd' he had mastered.
"It's a pity." Zhenwu Great Sage Ye Wushuang said with regret, as if he felt that he had the opportunity to defeat Chu Xun but missed it, and Qin Yuansheng was silent. He was thinking that if he entered the Wasteland State, it would be a decisive battle. Although he would pay a price, the final result would never be so embarrassing, and he would not lose many troops and many allies.
A carefree smile.
Let the past be the past.
Qin Yuansheng stared at Ye Wushuang and said, "Father asked you to move!"
"Okay!"
Ye Wushuang nodded, and as his fingers moved slightly, the avenue in the hall was agitated. In just a moment, Qin Yuansheng felt that he was as fragile as an ant under it. He also saw the black-robed young man stand up and the terrifying avenue fluctuations merged into his body. He took a light step and walked out of the hall where he had been in seclusion for many years.
