Strange Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 353 Volume C Friendship, Estrangement

Neither Xu Tianfeng nor Chen Huaisheng can escape this battle, and neither of them knows how to fight.

"How do you think it's appropriate to fight?" Knowing that Chen Huaisheng has many ideas, Xu Tianfeng also wants to hear his opinion.

After building the foundation, he will definitely make some arrangements. For example, if Wang Yao and Wu Tianen both want to practice in seclusion, then he may take their positions and share these chores.

"It depends on the sect and Lingyun Sect's own ideas." Chen Huaisheng pondered for a moment, "I personally think that Lingyun Sect may be difficult to maintain. The more important thing about this battle is to curb the local sects in Hebei from pressing us step by step in the future. We should make them feel that this kind of battle is not worthwhile, but we should also prevent the situation from getting out of control."

Xu Tianfeng seemed to have some understanding: "The meaning of making them feel that it is not worthwhile is to make them feel that it is not worthwhile, but the meaning of not making them feel that they are afraid of being angry and fighting with us to the death?"

"That's about it." Chen Huaisheng sighed, "It has to be in the best interests of our Chonghua Sect, not too light or too heavy, just right, but Lingyun Sect..."

"Huaisheng, you mean that Lingyun Sect seems to be unable to be saved, so the next step should consider how to maximize the interests of our Chonghua Sect?" Xu Tianfeng's mind is also very sensitive.

"Brother Xu is right. Lingyun Sect has hundreds of years of history and one or two hundred disciples. It is unreasonable to just disappear like this. I am afraid that Yuelu Sect and Tianhe Sect also have their own ideas. We can't let these two families benefit from it, right?" Chen Huaisheng's tone was a little more resolute: "This should be the bottom line of our Chonghua Sect. Lingyun Sect really can't hold on. Dahuaishan and Wei Huaidao can't stay there either, but we must not let these two families swallow up Lingyun Sect."

Xu Tianfeng nodded in agreement, "This is the bottom line. If Yuelu Sect or Tianhe Sect succeeds, then the next step may be our Chonghua Sect's turn. The Ding family can join our Chonghua Sect, so Lingyun Sect can't hold on, and joining our Chonghua Sect is the right thing to do."

Chen Huaisheng felt relieved. It seems that he is not the only one. Since Xu Tianfeng also has this view, it is estimated that there are many people in Chonghua Sect who have this idea. In this way, if it really comes to that step, there should not be too much resistance.

And now Chonghua Sect should also make preparations for this aspect.

Chen Huaisheng knew that the exchange of views between him and Xu Tianfeng would definitely be quickly passed on to the top leaders, especially since Xu Tianfeng's status would definitely be improved after he established his foundation.

For himself, the sense of urgency made him realize that he had to act immediately and make all kinds of preparations. Once he was about to go into battle, he had to save his life to the maximum extent.

"Brother Huaisheng!" Chen Huaisheng heard a voice calling him when he came out of Xu Tianfeng's Taoist temple.

"Wenbo, Wenhu!" Chen Huaisheng was very surprised. How could these two be together? They seemed to be waiting for him.

"Have you finished congratulating Brother Xu?" Yuan Wenbo asked with a smile.

"Well, there are a lot of guests coming and going, and I can't always occupy Brother Xu's time." Chen Huaisheng guessed that the two of them must have something to do, and smiled and replied: "Nothing, just have a meal together tonight and have a drink? Wenbo has broken through the fifth level of Qi Refining, so he should treat us, right?"

Yuan Wenbo's speed of breaking through the fifth level of Qi Refining was faster than expected, which made Chen Huaisheng realize that he should never underestimate anyone.

Yuan Wenbo was still at the third level of Qi Refining during the Taoist meeting last year, but after arriving in Hebei, he began to practice hard and soon broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining. It is said that even Yancao Dan was useless, which is enough to prove that he has extraordinary talent.

It has only been less than a year and a half, and he has advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining. No wonder Li Yu chose this guy at the beginning. He really deserves it. I just don’t know where Tong Tong is now and what his situation is.

"Okay." Yuan Wenbo immediately responded readily.

Chen Huaisheng actually doesn't like to feast with these brothers who are not familiar with him, but he also knows that this is a necessary social activity in the sect, not to mention that Yuan Wenbo is still his junior brother, and Tang Wenhu has also shared hardships with him several times.

Longlinyuan has become very lively.

Since Chonghua sent people to Wolongling to set up the mountain gate, mortals began to build houses outside the archway at the entrance of the valley one after another, and then more and more people came, some to help with miscellaneous work in the mountain gate, and some to open restaurants, restaurants, teahouses and various shops outside the mountain gate.

Although there are only more than 300 formal disciples in the mountain gate, in just one year, the number of Dao seeds and mortals in the mountain gate has exceeded the number of formal disciples by more than two times.

At first, they built houses and repaired them. Later, as the spiritual fields and land were reclaimed, more manpower was needed to plant them. Many people stayed after completing the cleaning and repair of the mountain gate and became spiritual farmers and farmers. Some people began to open various shops to provide catering, accommodation and other miscellaneous services for the disciples in the mountain gate and the Dao seeds and mortals serving the mountain gate.

It can be said that around these more than 300 sect disciples, at least more than 1,000 Dao seeds and mortals have settled here, forming a very lively small market.

It is hard to say whether there are spies from the Tianhe Sect and Yuelu Sect in this small market.

In the dozens of houses built one after another outside the valley, teahouses, wine shops, rice shops and spiritual material markets are indispensable.

The first three serve not only the sect's disciples, but also the Dao seeds and mortals working in the sect, while the spiritual material market is mainly for the disciples' transactions.

The boss of this spiritual material shop is a close relative of Chen Song, the one who first went to Shitang Village with Chen Huaisheng, and now he has become Xu Muyang's disciple.

"Wenbo has entered the country so quickly. Is Wenhu feeling pressured?" Chen Huaisheng could now tease the two of them with such a steady tone.

No matter how dissatisfied Yuan Wenbo is with Chen Huaisheng, the reality is that the gap between the fifth level of Qi Refining and the seventh level of Qi Refining will take three to five years to make up, and this will require Yuan Wenbo to continue to be amazing, and Chen Huaisheng to stay put. Not moving, this is obviously unrealistic.

Tang Wenhu seemed very calm about this: "Brother Huaisheng, the talent of Wenbo is far better than mine. I am self-aware. It will be a matter of time for him to catch up with me and surpass me. I only need to move forward according to the goals I have set." ”

Chen Huaisheng still admired Tang Wenhu's magnanimity and persistence in his goals.

Everyone has his or her own path and goal for cultivation, and there is no need to be too entangled in it. If Tang Wenhu can recognize this, his future is promising.

"Brother Wenhu is overly praised. I have some insights this time, so I entered the country a little faster. I believe that Brother Wenhu will catch up soon." Yuan Wenbo quickly expressed his humility.

"Okay, you two don't need to be self-effacing. I can see that Wenhu is not slow in entering the country. He has a good grasp of the sixth level of Qi refining in two or three years, right?" Chen Huaisheng looked at Tang Wenhu seriously and nodded.

Not everyone can achieve a breakthrough and advance to the next level in a year and a half. Most disciples still need three to five years to achieve a breakthrough. This is quite smooth and even excellent.

Think about the people who participated in the battle of Tianzhai, Zhao Sitian, the Fang brothers and sisters, Zhen Yunpei, Yi Tianxiang, Lu Wenshen, Tang Wenhu, Shi Qian, Yuan Wenbo, Tong Tong, Kou Qing and others. Most of them were far more powerful. Stronger than Chen Huaisheng, but everyone's situation is completely different.

Fang Baoyu, Zhen Yunpei, and Yi Tianxiang were killed in the battle, and Tang Wenhu was seriously injured. Later in the battle across the river, Lu Wenshen was killed by Ao Long.

Think about it, this path of cultivation is so cruel. Out of the dozen or so people at the beginning, four people, almost half, have died, and the only one who can still bear the burden of cultivation is Zhao Sitian.

This feeling made Chen Huaisheng feel a little sad.

"Brother Huaisheng, what's wrong?" Yuan Wenbo felt that Chen Huaisheng was a little distracted and asked in surprise.

"It's nothing, just some feelings." Chen Huaisheng recovered his thoughts, "When I saw Wen Hu, I thought of the Battle of Tianzhai. It was only a few years ago that Senior Brother Fang, Senior Brother Zhen and Senior Brother Yi died in the battle, and Wen Shen was crossing the river again. He was killed in the First World War. It has only been a few years and the people around him are so desolate. It is a bit sentimental. "

Tang Wenhu was also touched by Chen Huaisheng's words.

He had the best relationship with Yi Tianxiang, Lu Wenshen and Shi Qian at first, but two of them are no longer alive. The world has changed so much that it is a bit hard to accept.

"How is Shi Qian?" Chen Huaisheng asked.

"Shi moved to Baita City and followed Master You to form the Baita Lower House." Tang Wenhu sighed and replied.

"Brother Huaisheng, there is no news about Tong Tong yet?" Yuan Wenbo couldn't help but ask.

"No." Chen Huaisheng shook his head: "It just depends on when she breaks this knot."

They are all people who participated in the battle of Tianzhai. With this relationship, it seems that the three of them have become much closer.

"Shall I call Brother Sitian?" Tang Wenhu glanced at Chen Huaisheng and Yuan Wenbo.

"Go ahead and call him." Chen Huaisheng glanced at Yuan Wenbo and nodded lightly: "It may have been a long time since we all got together, and sometimes it feels like our friendship has faded a lot."

Yuan Wenbo also glanced back at Chen Huaisheng and pursed his lips, "What Brother Huaisheng said is true. Sometimes we all seem to be too indulged in cultivation and other distracting thoughts..."

Tang Wenhu went to find Zhao Sitian excitedly, and only Chen Huaisheng and Yuan Wenbo were left in the hotel.

The room was extremely quiet for a while.

Chen Huaisheng knew that Yuan Wenbo was very talented and would enter the country very quickly in the future. His future prospects would not be weaker than those of Zhao Sitian. If he had always been stronger than Yuan Wenbo, that would be fine. The other party would also be able to accept it. But when he and Kou Qing The competition between him and Tong Tong in the outer hall of Chuangongyuan was too ostentatious and attracted the attention of countless people. Now that he has surpassed him, I am afraid it will be difficult to accept this mentality.

Even if everyone wants to talk about the friendship in the past calmly now, it may not be possible.
