I Have a Luck Altar

Shushan.

As the saying goes, if the mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals; if the water is not deep, it will be spirited if there are dragons.

As a well-known fairy mountain blessed land in Shuzhou and even the whole world, Shushan is the representative of it. When it comes to the size of the mountains and the height of the peaks, Shushan is not even as good as Wudang Mountain.

But Shushan has an honor that no other power has, that is, the Shu of Shuzhou, which comes from the Shu of Shushan.

Although Shushan is not the top mountain and river in the world, it can definitely be called a blessed land of fairy mountains. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, you can only see white mist and fairy air.

Between the occasional white cranes frolicking and the fairy fog, there is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, which is fascinating.

As one of the top ten immortal sects in the world, and a holy place for sword cultivation, Shushan naturally has extremely high conditions for accepting apprentices. It will accept apprentices once every ten years, and it is precisely through the name of the Sword Sacrifice Conference.

Therefore, in fact, many people came here to witness this event, or to send their young children to Shushan to practice.

Sword cultivators emphasize understanding, which is also a kind of talent.

Of course, it would be even better if the bones were excellent. After Chen Yuan came to the vicinity of Shushan Mountain, he met many such people. There were at least hundreds of children under the age of ten.

As long as there are children in the family with good bones, they will be sent to Shushan for a try. Therefore, although it is difficult to worship Shushan, once successful, it is equivalent to finding a backer for one's own power.

This is the case with the Liu family in Cao County who once had a grudge against Chen Yuan. It was precisely because Liu Changkong joined the Qingyun Sword Sect that the Liu family was able to flourish in Cao County. Will take the risk.

Chen Yuan, as the envoy of the Governor-General of the three states in the south, is definitely a distinguished guest even to Shushan. From the moment he showed the invitation card, the post station to welcome foreign guests is not small. sensation.

He was respectfully invited to wait in the upper hall of the station by a alchemy master in Shushan, but within a quarter of an hour, a voice came from outside:

"Wu'an Marquis Chen is here?"

Chen Yuan had already noticed when someone was approaching. After hearing this sentence, he jumped into the void and looked at the two figures in front of him.

An old man with gray beard and gray hair, wearing a lavender robe, has nothing but a dusty aura, and the other is his old acquaintance, Bai Changqing.

"I'm poor, I've met Mr. Chen."

The old man in purple robe raised his hand in a salute, nodded and smiled.

"Brother Chen."

Bai Changqing also had a smile on his face.

"It turned out to be Taoist Master Shenxu." Chen Yuan suddenly realized that he had heard the name of the Five Elders of Shushan a long time ago, and he was as famous as the Seven Sons of Wudang, and he was the most top existence in Shushan.

Although he only has the cultivation base of refining gods, Chen Yuan will not underestimate him.

In fact, it is definitely an honor to be greeted by the five elders of Shushan in person. This also shows the change in Chen Yuan's status. When he went to Wudang Mountain, it was only Zuo Chengzong who greeted him, but this time, it was Bai Changqing and Shen Yuan. It's empty.

"It seems that some of the old man's humble name has also entered the ears of Marquis Wu'an." Taoist Shenxu stroked his long beard and smiled.

"Shuzhou, the five old towns in Shushan, Chen is naturally famous for a long time."

When he came to his territory, the other party showed goodwill, Chen Yuan was naturally not the aggressive type, and a few compliments were taken for granted.

"Hehe, Mr. Chen, please go up the mountain to say something. The brother in charge is waiting in the Wuji Hall." Taoist Shenxu raised his hand in salute.

"it is good."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, and Yu Kong came to the two of them, and under the envious eyes of countless people below, they gradually drifted away.

"That's Marquis of Wu'an, Chen Yuan, Mr. Chen. It's really a great honor to be greeted by Taoist Master Shenxu in person." Someone looked at the backs of the three and sighed.

"Naturally, Chen Yuan is an important minister of the governor-general's southern court, and his talent is rare in thousands of years. Even though Shu Mountain is a holy place for immortals, he dare not neglect it."

"I'm just curious, why Marquis Wu'an came to Shushan to participate in the Sword Sacrifice Conference, it's really rare."

Sword sacrifices are held in Shushan once every ten years, and every hundred years is a grand meeting of the rivers and lakes. At that time, many experts from the immortal sect will come here to congratulate Shushan, but the small meeting once every ten years, in fact, not many people come .

It's just a grand meeting in Shuzhou, and sometimes it even affects only the eastern part of Shu. It's really surprising that Chen Yuan can come this time.

"From my point of view, the Marquis of Wu'an came here this time to worship the mountain."

"how you said that?"

"Hehe, everyone in the world knows the name of Shushan, especially in Shuzhou, which has a huge reputation. Although Marquis Wu'an is strong, he sometimes has to rely on the power of Jianghu.

Before, he was too busy to move his hands, but this time I'm afraid it won't be the case. Marquis Wu'an wants to save face. As an official of the imperial court, it is not appropriate to go to visit the gates of Jianghu and Shanmen.

But with the help of the Sword Sacrifice Conference, it will be different, it can not only save face, but also make good friends with Shushan."

Some people seemed to have a clear understanding of the situation, and analyzed Chen Yuan's intentions for the people around him with great vigor.

"What Fellow Daoist said is not unreasonable."

Chen Yuan naturally couldn't hear the judgment of Jianghu warriors. Of course, even if he heard it, he just smiled knowingly and didn't explain anything.

His purpose of coming to Shushan could not be exposed, but it would naturally be hidden, and people outside would think them to guess, and it wouldn't matter.

Shushan seems to be close at hand, but in fact, it is still dozens of miles away from the previous city. The speed of the three of Chen Yuan is not fast, but they are chatting and laughing in the void.

There is quite a sense of immortality.

Taoist Shenxu praised Chen Yuan for his decisive actions, swift and resolute actions, and a rare talent throughout the ages. Chen Yuan praised the Shenzong of Shushan Sword Dao, which is unrivaled in the world.

All in all, it's a business exchange.

And looking at Chen Yuan who was on an equal footing with his teacher and even had a slight advantage, Bai Changqing suddenly felt a little bit moved. He had already accepted that Chen Yuan was far superior to him before.

There was some shock and envy, but it was because Chen Yuan rose too fast, and he didn't have any complicated thoughts.

But now it is different. Chen Yuan, who sits on an equal footing with the five elders in Shushan, has widened a truly insurmountable gap with him, and even makes him really want to say from the bottom of his heart that it is both lucky and unfortunate to be born in the same era as Chen Yuan.

He is the contemporary big brother of Shushan and one of the five elders of Shushan in the future. Even though his talent is amazing, but his seniority is here after all, and he still has to be respectful to his teachers.

By analogy, isn't it because he is a generation shorter than Chen Yuan?

Shushan is a bit far away, but that's all. While chatting and laughing, the three of them arrived at Shushan very quickly. The formation seemed to have spirituality, and the white mist separated a road.

With Bai Changqing in front and Chen Yuan behind, they stepped into the territory of Shu Mountain together.

The inside of Shushan Mountain is even more miraculous, the great formation connects the heaven and the earth, and the concentration of vitality is no less than that of the former Yuankong Realm, and the further you go inside, the more intense the vitality becomes.

Sword Immortal characters can be seen everywhere in the Sky of Yujian, with fierce sword energy across the sky, and hundreds of disciples practicing below, it is really a sacred place for immortals.

Between the mountains, at a glance, there are palaces, palaces, white cranes and birds.

The most magnificent one is the Wuji Hall in the middle of Shushan Mountain. After Bai Changqing entered Shushan Mountain, he left on his own initiative to prepare a residence for Chen Yuan, while Shenxu invited Chen Yuan into the hall for a narration.

This place is very peaceful. In fact, it is a bit different from the Shu Mountain that Chen Yuan had just imagined. He thought that the practice of swordsmanship in Shu Mountain should be fierce.

But there is no killing, only a piece of peace.

In front of the Taiji Hall, an old man with tall and straight hair and a childlike face stood in front of him, with a slight smile on his face. He was dressed in deep purple and had an extraordinary bearing. He was not as sharp as Jiang He, but had a majestic aura of his own.

A hundred feet away, Chen Yuan didn't recognize this person, but he could infer the identity of this person, he must be the head teacher of Shushan, the head of the five elders, the top ten in the supreme list, Lingxu Zhenjun!

As the leader of the Immortal Sect, although Zhenjun Lingxu seldom made a move, he still listed the unparalleled Shushan Sword Immortal in the top ten of the Supreme Rank when ascending the Immortal Tower.

As for its true strength, no one knows yet.

"Marquis Wu'an, I've admired you for a long time."

Before Chen Yuan approached, Taoist Lingxu's laughter reached his ears. There was nothing miraculous about it, it seemed that he was just an ordinary old man.

"Chen has admired Zhenjun Lingxu's name for a long time."

Chen Yuan fell to the ground from the void and walked up to him.

"Please."

Taoist Lingxu nodded slightly, and invited Chen Yuan into the Taiji Hall for a while, Taoist Shenxu twitched in his ears, understood, and said with a light smile:

"Master Chen, Pindao still has some trivial matters to deal with, so I won't accompany you."

"Shenxu Daoist is himself."

"it is good."

There is no one else in the Tai Chi Hall.

Chen Yuan had no chance to meet the other three elders of Shu Mountain. Taoist Lingxu seemed to see Chen Yuan's curiosity and explained:

"The Zhenyao Pagoda has changed recently, and the three juniors have gone to deal with the matter. Master Chen doesn't need to see the outside."

"Hasn't the powerful monster clans who have been suppressed in the Demon Suppressing Tower been suppressed for hundreds of years? Why have there been changes recently?" Chen Yuan didn't intend to mention the Demon Suppressing Tower at first, but since Ling Xu made the head start, he took advantage of the opportunity to ask ask.

"It happens every once in a while, it's not surprising."

"I see."

Chen Yuan smiled.

"I'm afraid Mr. Chen came to Shushan not just to attend the Sword Sacrifice Conference?" Taoist Ling Xu's eyes seemed to be discerning, and he noticed Chen Yuan's abnormal behavior.

"Shushan Sword Festival is a grand event in Shuzhou, and this is the first time Chen has seen it. Why can't he come to participate? What did Daoist Lingxu say?"

Chen Yuan asked back.

Seeing Chen Yuan like this, Taoist Lingxu looked at him with a half-smile, and said:

"Master Chen, the governor of the three southern states, has recently annexed the entire seven prefectures in western Shu, and the prefectures in central Shu are also in his pocket. It can be said that he has a lot of opportunities every day. Naturally, it is impossible to come here just once every ten years. small meeting."

Chen Yuan's originally smiling face froze for a moment, and his smile froze for a moment, and his heart was shocked. Unexpectedly, his identity as the real controller behind Shuxi had been known by Shushan.

Not only that, Taoist Lingxu also pointed out the matter directly, which was beyond some of his expectations.

Chen Yuan controls Shuxi, and never expects to be able to hide it from everyone in the world. What he wants is to make people confused in a short period of time, so as to improve his strength as much as possible.

In fact, he now has the power to annex Shuzhong, but it is also because of this reason, coupled with other considerations, that he finally decided not to do anything, and only the Shangguan clan and the Liu clan helped to fuel the flames.

The smile froze, and the dullness on Chen Yuan's face flashed away, and he frowned and asked:

"What is the meaning of Daoist Lingxu's words? When will the Seven Mansions in West Shu be annexed by Chen? Swords can be cultivated randomly, but sometimes you can't talk nonsense. Chen is dedicated to the country and loyal. If such rumors spread , where to put Chen?"

Ling Xu's face remained unchanged, and he continued:

"Master Chen was forced into marriage by Jingtai in the capital, and there was an open collision in the hall. You want to be loyal to the country, but the emperor doesn't think so. A peerless genius like you is both a good thing and a hidden danger. If you are not tied down completely, the emperor and the Sima family I won’t let it go, there will be a battle between you, right?”

"The court does not fail me, and neither does Chen."

"If this is the case, why should Lord Hou make preparations early? The seven prefectures in western Sichuan and Tangshan in Qingzhou, these are probably Lord Hou's followers, and they want to compete in the future."

"If Fellow Daoist Ling Xu really said so, then Chen can't refute it. However, the clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. There will be a fair judgment." No matter how deceitful he is, Chen Yuan will not admit it.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there is a natural gap between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court. In fact, Shushan is not willing to support the Sima family's rule of the world." Zhenjun Lingxu shook his head slowly.

"If that's the case, why did Shushan help when the former Chu was destroyed?" Chen Yuan didn't believe the old man's nonsense at all. As far as he knew, Shushan was the one who divided the former Chu.

It is precisely because of this that Shushan has completely established its authority in the east of Shu!

Before that, although Shushan was a fairy gate, the suppression of the former Chu court was too heavy, and there was no detached situation at all.

"How does Lord Hou know that Shushan didn't help?" Taoist Lingxu smiled faintly, and stood with his hands behind his back. There was a divine wheel in front of him, and a flash of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.

"Could it be that Shushan also helped Qianchu?"

"Shu Mountain has never owed anyone's love. Shu Mountain was first built thousands of years ago, and the former Chu Taizu once helped. Half of this kindness was repaid in the battle against demons five hundred years ago. Shu Mountain's vitality was seriously injured. Two hundred Many years ago, Shushan had the other half, and I, Shushan Sword Immortal, helped the Xiang family once at the price of falling."

"Could it be that Taoist Master Lingxu deceived me because I was young and ignorant of world affairs, and he used this to deceive me?" Whether it was from his second uncle Chen Huaiyi or senior Mo Luo, he had never heard that Shushan had been in the city for more than two hundred years. I helped the former Chu years ago, but I only know that Shushan took advantage of the collapse of the former Chu to greatly increase its power.

Almost the entire land of Eastern Shu was included in the territory, and since then it has completely established the reputation of the Holy Land of the Sword Sect.

"What good is it to lie to you? I didn't want to talk about it, but now I have to say that more than two hundred years ago, the former Chu imperial family sent a letter asking for help, hoping that all of Shushan would come out and help the Xiang family to be wiped out." The rebellion, at the cost of half of Shuzhou, made Shushan the state religion."

"and then?"

"The Immortal agreed to this matter, but in order to prevent the entire Shushan Mountain from being completely engulfed in flames of war, he just left alone. Since then, there has been no news, only a broken sword returned to the Sword Tomb.

This incident has never been reported in the Jianghu, and no one in the world knows about it, but only the five elders of Shushan know the truth.

The fairy sword has been broken and must fall. Later, Master Poor Dao weighed it carefully and knew that the situation was irreversible. Shushan had completely repaid the favor owed to the Xiang family, so he took the opportunity to bite off a piece of meat from the Sima family. They don't know about this, otherwise they will never tolerate Shushan and suppress it like a goddess palace. Although Marquis Wu An knows a lot, it is naturally impossible to know the secrets here. "

After Taoist Lingxu finished speaking, he turned to look at Chen Yuan with a solemn expression.

Chen Yuan judged the truth of the matter in his heart, but there was no difference in his face, and he said lightly:

"I am a Marquis of Wanhu who was appointed by the imperial court. Daoist Ling Xu said these things in front of me. Isn't he afraid that this matter will be poked in front of His Majesty?"

"Not afraid."

"Ok?"

"The Battle of Liangshan caused confusion in the world, the imperial court has begun to shrink its power, the three southern states have been abandoned, and will become a place of chaos in the future.

The imperial court does not have the strength to attack Shu Mountain, and, after all, it is a matter of the past, even if you say it, the emperor will pretend not to know it, and you will not say it. "

"The Daoist is too confident?" Chen Yuan sneered.

Taoist Lingxu chuckled a few times and said:

"Now Mr. Chen doesn't even dare to go to Zhongzhou, how could he report this matter, besides, Shushan has no intention of helping the imperial court, which is actually a good thing for you."

"Chen is an official of the imperial court, why doesn't he dare to enter Zhongzhou?"

Chen Yuan remained calm, not at all moved by Ling Xu's words.

"Do you really want to talk poorly?"

"Speaking of this, it doesn't matter if the Taoist priest doesn't say anything, just say it." Chen Yuan chuckled, he really wanted to see what tricks this old man had.

Chen Yuanming realized that from the moment he stepped into the Wuji Hall, Taoist Lingxu was pulling in this direction intentionally or unintentionally. Even if he didn't let the other party talk, the other party would take a detour and talk about it again.

Taoist Ling Xu said the word 'good', stared at Chen Yuan very seriously and said:

"Because you are the Daoist Palace Linmo Zhenjun who has repeatedly disturbed the court's good affairs!"

"boom!!!"

These words were no less than a thunderclap on the ground, and Chen Yuan's heart tightened as he was shocked, and he quickly thought about where his identity was leaked, but in the whole Jianghu, there were only a few people who knew his identity, and it was impossible to betray him.

Lingxu old bull nose is cheating him!

In an instant, Chen Yuan figured out the secret.

Looking at Taoist Lingxu indifferently:

"It's nonsense! I swear that the demons will not share the sky, how could it be some kind of demon master of the Taoist Palace? My cultivation is not good enough to refine the gods, so how can I match the real king?

Even if the Taoist priest is making up nonsense, he should respect his official. "

"Who said that refining the gods can't match the real king? Yangshen and the real king can defeat the gods against the sky. As the first genius in a thousand years after Taizu Chu, a peerless genius who has fought across the ranks all his life, with the help of the blood of the unicorn, he can rival the real king. You are not impossible!"

Taoist Lingxu said in a deep voice.

"If the Taoist priest is still talking nonsense like this, Chen has no choice but to wave his sleeves and leave."
