Due to Yu Ci's activeness, a large number of tribulation demons and family members came and went.
Moreover, the several attacks were carried out accurately and hit hard. A single person's performance may not be as good as the battles of various sects in the North to resist the demonic tide. But small things can make a big thing, and small victories can be accumulated into big victories. One line Pulling it off, nearly ten of the Tianwai Tribulation Demons alone, who were the backbone of the demonic tide, died.
The demonic tide in the northwest direction of Xiyu Lake is impacting. Because of the chaos in the past two months, the return trend has stopped abruptly.
It is rare that the Yinshan Sect and the Thirteen Waters Mansion did not delay the opportunity due to internal strife. They seized this rare opportunity in ten years and broke through the middle and rear of the demonic tide in one fell swoop. They had been at a standstill with the Qingxu Daode Sect for half a year. Long-term reinforcements gathered.
No matter what twists and turns there are, a "northwestern defense line" connecting Xiyu Lake and Heishui River has taken shape.
The pressure on the Cangjiang defense line was greatly reduced, and under the expectant gaze of thousands of sects in the southern country, the Bajing Palace and the Xiyu League reached a final agreement on matters related to the Xuanyang Realm of Pingdu. The two parties temporarily settled the Xuanyang Realm of Pingdu. In one place, the regional handover was completed.
In order to protect this sensitive area, the Xiyu League's four-day eight-district fifteen-person sect set up layers of blockades to the west of Wulian Lake, that is, behind Fang Jianxin's "Northwest Defense Line" and built a second line of defense. The defense line directly broke through three sections of the demonic tide that surrounded Xiyu Lake in the west.
Including the western section of the Cangjiang defense line, three gates were erected.
Although due to the back and forth impact of the demonic tide, the situation has become more intense and intense than in the past, the situation is completely different.
Any blind person can see that in this direction, the various sects in the True World have already taken the initiative.
Correspondingly, as time goes by, the demonic tide, which is as thick as water, naturally tilts eastward, and the pressure on the already tight East China Sea defense line increases greatly, from the East Branch of the Demon Sect in the north, to the Rakshasa Sect in the east, to Linhai Feihun City in the city and Lunjianxuan further south were all mobilized.
The undercurrent whirlpool that was originally centered on Feihun City was suddenly suppressed.
According to the news from Yourui in recent days, Mrs. Xia took advantage of the sudden intensification of foreign troubles to temporarily overpower the voices of all parties and temporarily stabilize the situation.
There will definitely be subsequent shocks. How to verify the bloodline of the fetus in the abdomen has caused endless disputes among all parties. The position of Mrs. Xia's head is definitely not as comfortable as before.
But the longer this situation lasts, the more important Yu Ci's role as Madam Xia's ally becomes.
Overall, this is good news.
But the beginning of it started from Mrs. Huang Quan who was hundreds of millions of miles away.
This is nothing more than being targeted, doing things with ease, and taking advantage of the situation.
Of course, no one is an old scalper who can be led by others, and the senior leaders of the sects of the Xiyu League and all parties involved in the Feihun City are not puppets with strings to be manipulated by others.
Mrs. Huang Quan was able to do all this at the expense of considerable resources.
If it hadn't been for this time, how would Yu Ci know that Mrs. Huang Quan's control over Buyun Society among the "three major societies" was so strong?
Correspondingly, the hidden lines and connections that extend from the Changqing Gate in the Northern Wasteland to the Thirteen Waters Mansion are the key to the Yinshan Sect and the Thirteen Waters Mansion's joint efforts to win.
Since this period of time, the thought that has been running through Yu Ci’s mind the most is “no wonder, no wonder”.
He had thought before that the Evergreen Sect sold Gui Jing Powder in Beihuang, turning a huge area into a paradise for beetles, and thus accumulated huge profits, but could still sit still and hold the hand. Don’t miss out on your financial resources.
Even if it is a joint venture with giants such as Sanjiafang, this position is too stable.
But with Mrs. Huang Quan, Buyun Society, those hidden and emerging forces and connections, and with the huge financial resources as the backing, this is "no wonder".
Yu Ci also remembered that in Huayan City, he had met Mr. Qingsong from Changqing Sect and Lu Lian from Buyun Society. The relationship seemed to be relatively close.
It turns out that as early as when he was still a minor cultivator of Huandan, he had so many interactions with Madam Huangquan’s power. Now that he thinks about what happened back then and the people he met, there are sudden realizations everywhere. feel.
Mrs. Huangquan has a deep grasp of his past, and there is a reason why.
However, for now, Mrs. Huangquan, who is very close at hand, is controlled by him and not others.
At this time, Mrs. Huang Quan was looking out of the carriage. The calamity clouds were billowing under the chariot, and a cloud wall of hundreds of feet and thousands of feet stood up. There was a haze everywhere, and the murderous aura was suppressed. It was like a sealed oil pan, boiling inside. There was only a loud popping sound outside, and I didn't know when it would start burning.
The environment is relatively noisy, which is a sign that the demonic tide is coming.
Yu Ci doesn't care, Xuanhuang doesn't care, the only one who is sad here is Mrs. Huangquan.
For the past two months of traveling north, Yu Ci took no one with him except Xuan Huang, who was the number one in combat. He only took Mrs. Huang Quan with him, which was both trust and test, and even torture.
Mrs. Huang Quan knew this very well.
But what she has done in recent days is blameless, and it can be regarded as a great achievement for her hard work. Yu Ci thought that the heat was almost over, and finally asked her about the personal matter:
"Aren't you afraid?"
"What?"
Yu Ci pinched her chin. With the support of elixirs, mental techniques, and talismans, no matter how weak Mrs. Huangquan was, she still maintained the state of "withered inside and flourishing outside". Her skin was like water and could be broken by blows. , I feel pity for you.
It's just that the thoughts of both parties are not here.
Yu Ci asked: "These past few days, you have been very calm between life and death. But didn't you come to me for shelter and survival?"
"It is true that I have some understanding of Tianjun's intention."
At this time, Mrs. Huang Quan really turned her attention to Yu Ci: "The Heavenly Lord controls life and death, but it is not the method of reincarnation of life and death in the traditional sense, but the method of finding the limit between life and death, and taking all aspects into account. To grasp, therefore, extreme states are most needed for observation... I understand."
"Do you really understand?"
"Both Taoism and Buddhism have similar practices. They are called retreat. There are also more mysterious names, one is called Hedao, and the other is called Nirvana."
"I've heard of it, but it doesn't seem like a good thing?"
"As far as monks are concerned, it is not good. Whether it is Hedao or Nirvana, they abandon the existence of 'I'. But to the end of our practice, don't we just want a 'I'? In the 'no-self' , if you can't see 'me', there is no way forward.
“It’s naturally not good for someone as talented as Patriarch Ge from Shangqing Dynasty to go away together. If they can’t get along, it’s not good.”
Yu Ci laughed when he heard this: "If that's the case, aren't you afraid?"
"Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness..."
Mrs. Huangquan stretched out her hand to lightly brush her temples, and said leisurely: "Does the Lord of Heaven know that Xuan Youhe Dao and Shi Nirvana are certainly the ultimate calamity, but in fact, they are also the preferential treatment left by the Buddha and Taoist for their inheritance - —If you really have great wisdom and courage, you can try it and truly get rid of it.”
"Is there anything else? Then..."
"No one has been able to understand it throughout the ages. At least not in the sense that we can understand it!"
Mrs. Huang Quan looked far away and pointed to the west: "Even if there is, this is just a gamble with 'me' as the bet. No matter how far-reaching the meaning of the Taoist scriptures is, it will never be as rigorous as the Buddhist principles. Zhou Mi, when it comes to that step, he just jumps with all his strength... jump, not good!"
Yu Ci laughed: "Are you tired of gambling?"
"I just don't like those mysterious things that have no basis or reason. Even if the 'principle' itself is mysterious and illusory and can be self-consistent, it's okay. On this point, Buddhism goes further, The design of the Ten Dharma Realms seems to pursue this aspect..."
Yu Ci suddenly felt something in his heart and blurted out: "This is also your purpose!"
At this moment, lightning suddenly flashed in his mind.
What is illuminated is the void of Donghua, the imitation of the Biluo Tianque, the cloud mold, and what else is there about the Miaohua Fairy, Di Langjun, the Demonic Heretic...
There is some clear legal principle that wraps up all of this.
The core is Mrs. Huangquan!
As for the female cultivator who was also in the chariot, she seemed to be talking about her parents' shortcomings:
"I want to be more practical. I am not pursuing any mystical principles, nor am I helping anyone escape. The greatest value lies in studying the matter itself."
Her attitude was so calm that Yu Ci felt a little embarrassed about "making a fuss".
However, the process is greater than the result? Would Mrs. Huang Quan have such a "pursuit"?
Yu Ci doesn’t know.
However, no matter what Mrs. Huang Quan’s plan is, Yu Ci is using the cruel method mentioned above to grasp the mystery of her life and death bit by bit.
Whether it is the Way of Harmony or Nirvana, it will all turn somersaults in the palm of his hand.
When she really wants to "jump" out, Yu Ci will make her pay the price.
The sound of thunder above the calamity clouds is louder than the last, often twisting and tearing, like the roar of a traumatized beast, full of violence and terror.
Although it is thousands of feet high in the sky, above the calamity clouds, it is difficult to see the sky at this time.
The pursuers have arrived and are close at hand.
Yu Ci got rid of those mysterious legal principles and returned to reality:
"Where to go now, or to the southwest?"
Mrs. Huangquan can easily switch states: "The northwest defense line has taken shape, and the Northern Wilderness side is already stable, so there should be no more pressure. Going south and waiting to return will be detrimental to public opinion; going north, the Xiangshan Sect is going to fight against the sky. You are working hard; as for the east, don't cause any more chaos, just go southwest. The demon tide will go southward smoothly."
Yu Ci chuckled: "The Jade Alliance is going to scold me."
"The demonic tide is coming again. Those who scold Tianjun are the Feiyu Castle of Wulian Lake and the Bibo Water Mansion of Cangjiang River. Moreover, they cannot be scolded openly. If it were not for Tianjun, there may not be any results in the Xuanyang Realm of Pingdu now. , you get benefits in vain, how can you achieve it without paying a little bit?”
Mrs. Huang Quan smiled and said: "Here in the Xiyu League, one must clearly distinguish between love and hate on the surface in order for people to understand and stand firm. After Tianjun came from the north, why did he urinate in the same pot with them?"
Yu Ci laughed. Firstly, Mrs. Huangquan said dirty words, which had a different flavor. But what was more satisfying was that Mrs. Huangquan showed her attitude of putting people to death.
"Okay, let's go back!"
