Chapter 159: Immortals are thieves in the house
When the old monkey saw Yu Que mentioned the words "Fangwai Xie Zong" again, he suppressed the reminiscence on his face and spoke:
“Whether it’s a ghost island or a fairy mountain, they are actually all left behind by the ancient sects.

If there really is an immortal legacy on the overseas immortal mountain, and if there is a Taoist vein from ancient times left, it would also belong to the category of the evil sects in the court’s mouth.”

Yu Que looked thoughtful and respectful as he continued to listen.

The old monkey said, "The reason for this is that these evil sects do not obey the king, despise the court, regard the country's equipment as playthings, disregard the monarch and his subjects, have no ethics, and only seek immortality, and only care about the master-disciple relationship.

There are even rumors that the reason why the Taoist secret world is like this today is because it is related to the imperial court in ancient times. The establishment of the Immortal Dynasty led to a large number of people practicing Taoism, and the heaven and earth could not support them, so it became corrupt.

Therefore, the people of the evil sects now all pursue small countries with few people. "

Yu Que understood it completely.

It turns out that not only is there an ancestral feud between the Fangwai Xie Sect and the imperial court, but the two sides also have completely different philosophies.

He pondered over it carefully, and suddenly said, "It is rumored that the exhaustion of spiritual energy is related to the ancient imperial court? This - should be the unilateral statement of the Fangwai Xie Sect. I wonder what the imperial court has to say?"

The old monkey gave Yu Que an approving look:
"Hehe. Indeed, such words can only be said by the Fangwai Xie Sect. Remember, in the future, if you are in front of others, especially in front of people in the court, you should say less.

As for the argument from the imperial court, they said that the exhaustion of spiritual energy was because the people in these sects were like locusts. Immortals are immortal, and thieves are not just ordinary people. They attributed the exhaustion of spiritual energy to the fact that the immortals in the sects did not repay the heaven and earth after they cultivated immortality, but instead only thought about escaping from the Taoist Secret Realm one after another with spiritual energy. Generation after generation, the Taoist Secret Realm was in ruins. "

The man shrugged his shoulders and said, "As for which of these two statements is true, it is unknown."

Yu Que nodded. Although his face was calm, he was actually quite horrified when he recalled all the Taoist books he had read so far.

"It turns out that the exhaustion of spiritual energy is not simply caused by the changes in the heaven and earth, but there are also human factors, and even human factors account for the majority?!"

He had never seen this statement in any book.

But after thinking about it carefully, Yu Que understood why the books on the market were so vague about the cause of the depletion of spiritual energy.

Because no matter according to the words of the Fangwai Xie Sect or according to the words of the imperial court, the reason is that the practitioners have exhausted the spiritual energy, which led to the destruction of heaven and earth.

In short, immortals are thieves in your home.

If such statements were known to the world, the gap between immortals and mortals would certainly become deeper, and the world would no longer respect immortals and would be willing to serve them like cattle and horses.

Yu Que suppressed the shock in his heart, bowed solemnly to the old monkey, and thanked him for revealing such a secret again.

The old monkey calmly accepted Yu Que's gift. After a moment of hesitation, he said:
"Yu kid, you must remember how powerful the Fangwai Evil Sect is.

Although the Middle Earth realm ostensibly belongs to the imperial court, the evil sects often hide in the so-called famous mountains and rivers, forbidden areas and remote places. However, they have been able to survive to this day, and their long history cannot be compared with the incense of a single day.

In every dynasty, there have always been emperors or heavenly masters who intend to cut down mountains and destroy temples, turning all the immortal sects in the world into Taoist temples. However, as dynasties change, those immortal sects continue to exist today, with terrifying backgrounds. On the contrary, there is no dynasty that has not been destroyed, and when every dynasty falls, there are always immortal sects from all sides.

If you encounter ordinary bandits during this expedition, it's fine, you can just use thunder and lightning methods, but if you encounter a real person from the evil sect, no matter how big or small, stay away from him."

Yu Que's face was stern, and he immediately said, "Don't worry, senior. I know myself well and will never try to stop a chariot with my bare hands."

When the old monkey heard what he said, he laughed:
"It's not like I'm trying to stop a chariot with my arms. What I'm worried about is that your Tianmiao Dao Seed will be directly abducted by the Fangwai Evil Sect."

This was somewhat beyond Yu Que's expectations.

The old monkey explained it in detail. Yu Que then realized that compared to the ancient times, the Fangwai Xie Sect was now in a "sealed mountain" situation, and its population was quite scarce compared to the Taoist temples in various places that had surrendered to the court.

Even for an evil sect that has existed for ten thousand years, the total population within its mountain gate is often less than that of a market town or a street.

There are even some evil sects whose inheritance has become a family-based inheritance, almost a single-line inheritance. There are even some that have no living people to inherit their traditions, and have become an inheritance between generations, or through slaves finding disciples to continue the inheritance.

However, in this world where spiritual energy is exhausted, they only accept disciples who are excellent.

This leads to the fact that when the evil sects outside the mountains send people out of the mountains, it is basically for the purpose of recruiting disciples, that is, to lure and capture Taoist seeds in the fairy capital or fairy city outside the mountains, and bring them back to the mountains to inherit the Taoist lineage.

As luck would have it, Yu Que, who opened the Temple of Heaven and offended the Huangshan Taoist Temple, and fled to the county soldiers' camp, was very much liked by those evil sects.

Once the people from the evil sect get the chance, they will definitely not let him go.

Even if Yu Que swore to death that he would never obey, they would still try to capture him and take him to the mountain. At worst, they could just kill him and at the same time eliminate a Taoist seed from the imperial court.

When Yu Que heard this, cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

“In that case, if there are really people from the evil sect in the place where the troops are dispatched this time, the most dangerous person in the entire village is me.”

He immediately began to feel like backing out and rejecting this military engagement.

Or he could let Jun Baifeng lead his troops to suppress the rebellion first, and then he would go over there.

He didn't want to be captured by a strange force without knowing why, leave his homeland, ruin his future, or even become a slave.

Fortunately, the old monkey heard his worries and smiled and comforted him:
"What are you afraid of? You joined the army alone. Why are you afraid now that you are marching with the army?

Moreover, I guess that the reason why the general wants to sweep the bandits outside Huangshan and eliminate the possible people from the evil sects is probably to prevent kidnapping.

Otherwise, if a Dao Seed in a place was abducted by the Fangwai Evil Sect, her position as a guard would be over."

Hearing this, Yu Que felt a little relieved.

Especially when the other party said:

"If you continue to stay in the camp, and wait until the army sets out, the camp will be empty. Wouldn't that be even more dangerous?"

When Yu Que heard this, he realized that it was indeed the case.

Unless he didn't even stay in the barracks, and fled back to the county town overnight and took shelter in the city, but such a blatant escape from the battlefield would ruin his future in the court.

Heaving a long sigh, Yu Que cheered himself up and could only secretly hope that the so-called evil sect member was completely fictitious.

Fortunately, he did not take any time off during his retreat and had trained a group of ghost soldiers for himself in advance, which gave him enough self-protection power.

Afterwards, the old man and the young chatted for a while, and Yu Que gained more and was just waiting for the army to set out.
