Chapter 103
In February 369 of the new calendar, the cold winter is coming, but on New Year's Eve, every household has hung up peach charms and lanterns, and under the light, it reveals a bit of joy.
"Thank goodness for a safe year!"
The hanging moon in the sky has been split into two halves in recent days, and the starry sky behind the dark clouds is like a shattered broken bowl, with cracks spreading out.
But these anomalies can't stop people from cherishing the present. On the dinner table, what is served on the dinner table is not the distant future, but the life in front of us:
"Yesterday, Xiao Cong from the neighbor's house induced qi into his body. The head fairy came to test the spirit root, and said it was the dual spirit root of water and wood."
"Hey! Isn't that developed?"
"What's more, Lao Wang said yesterday that his son and grandson have also been tested, and they all have spiritual roots."
"Is Lao Wang's son thirty years old? What's the use of measuring it now, can't he practice?"
"Look at what you said, although you can't practice, you can extend your lifespan by drawing qi into your body. You said you have this opportunity, do you want it?"
"of course."
The refuge under the moonlit night The family sits at the table and eats lively, discussing interesting things while eating.
For the most important meal of the year, the hostess of the house prepares many variations, including many that were not seen in the past.
"Don't say a few words, eat quickly."
The person who spoke was the mother of the family, fiddling with fresh dishes with chopsticks, and picking those spiritual plants that were not seen on weekdays into her bowl.
"tasty."
After taking a mouthful of fresh vermillion fruit, the children in the family narrowed their eyes: "I still want it."
The male owner of the family picked another one for him, and couldn't help feeling: "That's this year, where can we usually find these good things to eat?"
Last summer, according to the request of the elders, they moved from the village where their family was located to this refuge point very close to the Xianzong, and lived in a house arranged uniformly.
It is difficult to leave the homeland, and leaving the homeland means changes and risks. No matter who is reluctant to leave at the beginning, however, the demands of the immortal elders cannot be ignored.
In short, at that time, relatives and neighbors, including themselves, moved with reluctance, but after arriving at the shelter, they realized that the situation was not as bad as they thought.
First of all, they have a house of their own with basic furniture, which solves the problem of accommodation.
Second, they have land and fields to grow.Not only the land, but also the good seeds from above, such as the red fruit on the table, which is said to be improved from the spiritual fruit eaten by the immortals.
Not only is the output high, but ordinary people will have huge benefits if they eat it.
Finally, and most importantly, is the future and opportunities of the juniors.
In the past, it took money, time and countless painstaking efforts. The road to immortality, which once existed only in legends, seemed to open the door for them.
Following the immortal elders in the shelter to teach the method of cultivating immortals, many people have recently developed a sense of anger and were accepted into the immortal gate by the immortal elders.
"It's a good time now."
Even if there is a hole in the sky, there are rumors that other beasts will come down.But isn't the old saying well said, when the sky falls, is there a tall man to hold it up?
The fairy elders moved for them and gave them food, so they would not ignore them easily.
What's more, even if the innocence really collapsed, the fairy elders couldn't handle it, so what's the use of worrying?
With such a pragmatic attitude, ordinary people live happily in the shelters under the responsibility of the various sects.
However, what they don't know is that on the top of the distant Kunshan Mountain, there is a group of people who are trying to support the sky that is about to collapse.
"The avatars are strictly controlled, and they couldn't get into the shelter."
"Even if you get mixed in, it won't work."
The construction of the shelter and other tasks may seem simple, but it is quite troublesome to implement. When this point was raised at the meeting at the time, no one expected the subsequent complexity.
Later, due to the slow progress of implementation, Su Huai'an simply proposed to set up a special agency.
The management of this institution was handed over to BiXiao Sect.
And judging from the results, this sect that used to pay attention to reputation and wrote the motto of "a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye" into the bones of every disciple has actually completed these tasks of being close to the people quite well.
It was they who were in charge of contacting various sects to implement the various systems of the refuge, and they also spent a lot of effort to make the improvement of Lingzhi to the smallest detail.
When mentioning BiXiao Sect in the past, people would say that it was the weakest of the ten sects.But up to now, BiXiao Sect has become the sect most trusted by ordinary people.
After many people discover the spiritual root and lead the qi into the body, BiXiao Sect has also become their first choice to step into the fairyland.
Regarding these changes, the young leader himself was obviously very proud. When he mentioned the shelter, he immediately beamed: "If they want to incite the people, they are thinking too much."
"With food, clothing and money, how can I be their lackey so easily?"
Speaking of this, the young head couldn't help but look in Su Huai'an's direction.
Whether it is the proposal of the relief plan for ordinary people, or the detailed rules of the specific practice later, it is inseparable from the help of the latter.
Even the mantra he often used in his mouth was learned from Su Huai'an.
"This is also the way of heaven on our side."
It was the head of the Qingcheng faction who spoke.
Not long ago, the Demon Territory captured a clone of an extraterritorial celestial demon, and all parties spent a lot of effort to cut off the connection between the clone and the main body before they could ask something.
It turned out that the extraterrestrial celestial demon started attacking the bereaved family from the beginning, and continued to attack the survivors. The purpose was not only to cultivate puppets, but more importantly, to create chaos.
"The extraterrestrial demon feeds on chaos, the more chaotic the environment, the more it can replenish its abilities."
If this world is in chaos, the Heavenly Demon will be uncontrollable after it descends, replenishing its abilities instantly, and returning to its peak state.
Knowing this, the orthodox monks broke out in a cold sweat, with lingering fear in their hearts.
If they did not choose the strategy of ensuring the safety of ordinary people at the beginning, but cut their tails to survive and only kept a few practitioners, then when the extraterrestrial demons came, it would be a hell on earth.
And this hell on earth will completely become the territory of the extraterrestrial demons, and they may have to pay more.
"fortunately."
When this topic was brought up again, the monks still had to take a deep breath and stabilize their minds.
Creating an orderly environment cut off the recovery of the extraterrestrial celestial demons, which undoubtedly helped a lot, but it was obviously not enough. The problem was to eliminate the opponent at the least cost.
"This is exactly the reason why I invited everyone to come together this time. Presumably everyone has heard the news. Together with the Demon Territory, we have calculated the time point when the extraterritorial demons crossed the boundary membrane."
The speaker is the peak lord Song.
During this special period, he officially became the talker of Zhengdao.
And the time when the extraterrestrial celestial demon passed through the boundary membrane he mentioned was also the end point that appeared after a long and protracted wait.
"Is it finally here?"
At this moment, everyone present was quiet, and it seemed inappropriate to make any noise.
However, aside from others, the peak lord Song must speak: "Everyone knows, because of the legacy of our ancestors, the boundary membrane has protected us for a long time."
"It's just that when the legacy of the ancestors is exhausted, ten thousand years is enough."
There was silence.
Having said that, what will happen to them if they really lose the protection of the boundary membrane?
"But." peak lord Song changed the topic.
"Even if the boundary membrane is broken, it still buys and delays time for us before it breaks—because of the existence of the boundary membrane this time, the extraterrestrial demon must have spent a lot of money in passing through."
Peak lord Song scanned the scene: "Whether we can seize this opportunity depends on us."
"win or lose, it all ends here."
The expressions of everyone present became extremely dignified.
Everyone knows that the extraterrestrial celestial demon will suffer a lot of wear and tear during its descent, and at the moment of its arrival, it will be the weakest time in history. If you seize this opportunity, there may be a turning point in dealing with the extraterritorial celestial demon.
Just, how to seize this opportunity?
Seeing the serious expressions of the people present, they all looked thoughtful, peak lord Song didn't pretend to be a joke, and said:
"This time the boundary membrane is damaged, and there is still a period of time before the arrival of the spiritual energy from the sky, and the arrival of a strong enemy, so Brother Rong and I will try to break through."
……breakthrough?
Everyone present was shocked.
Everyone knows that peak lord Song and Xuantian Mozun are the pinnacles of combat power in this world, and there is no way to advance.
For thousands of years, since no monk has been able to break through the peak of the god transformation stage, breaking through and ascension has already become a legendary topic.
But this time, the meaning of peak lord Song... is to break through the stage of transformation?
"This risk is too great!" Knowing the plan of peak lord Song, the host of Tianguang Temple's subconscious reaction was danger.
It's too risky.
However, when he said this, he felt bitter again.
The old friend didn't know how to break through the danger, but at this juncture, he could solve the extraterrestrial demon without taking any risks. How could there be such a good thing?
Sure enough, peak lord Song didn't explain much about his old friend's rebuttal, but he didn't want to talk more about this topic.
Next, the topic of the meeting shifted to how to lure the extraterrestrial demons on that day, and how to reduce the losses caused by powerful enemies.
An hour later, everyone left Hidden Clouds Sect with a heavy heart. On the contrary, peak lord Song, who was in charge of fighting the demons outside the territory, was in a good mood.
"go drinking?"
In the last few days, peak lord Song didn't want to think too much, instead he suddenly became addicted to alcohol, and remembered the days when he and Rong Xu played chess and chatted together.
"I have something to do." Rong Xu refused him decisively.
The peak lord Song frowned, and was about to ask Rong Xu if there was anything else, when Su Huai'an finished talking with someone and looked this way.
"I'm leaving."
The two left side by side.
Abandoned peak lord Song: "..."
Just bully him alone?
Similar to peak lord Song's thoughts, in the last few days, Rong Xu and Su Huai'an obviously didn't want to miss it.
"Let's go somewhere." Rong Xu said.
"?"
Yujian flew for a while, and the two landed. Su Huaian looked at the familiar small town in front of him, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
That's where he used to live.
