Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Cangxi Prefecture has a towering terrain and continuous mountains. However, if someone asks where the highest peak is, they will all point to one place.
A high mountain stands like a sword, standing on the plateau through the clouds. There is a sect in the mountain called Lingjian Sect. It is the leading sect in the world of immortality and monopolizes the resources of a state. This is why the mountain is named Lingjian Mountain.
On the top of Lingjian Mountain, in an exquisite bamboo chamber, an old man wearing a sword-shaped hairpin looked at the clear starry sky. He held a long silver sword in his hand. The sword body reflected the starlight, and its delicate and complex texture was like water waves. It flows slowly upward from the hilt of the sword, but stops abruptly halfway.
The old man frowned, thinking something ominous in his heart.
"The sword light is interrupted. This is the sign of premature death. Brother head, are you telling your fortune?" As a voice sounded from behind, a barefooted woman in white robes was carrying an earthy yellow wine gourd in one hand and another in the other hand. Holding a green bamboo sword upside down, he appeared behind the old stargazing man with a smell of tobacco and alcohol.
The stargazing old man's deduction was interrupted, and he had to adjust his breath and call it a day, exhaling a puff of foul air from his mouth.
"Fifth Junior Sister, remember to knock on the door next time."
"There was a knock on my door when I was going out."
"I mean my door, not your door."
The leader sighed again: "Why are you looking for me?"
"Borrow money."
"If I remember correctly, you still owe me 20,000 spiritual stones that you haven't paid back." The leader said, his eyes serious and serious.
The woman was bitter and said: "Oh, it's not that our Spirit Sword Sect is so poor. I think I, the fifth elder and the second master of the sect, only pay five hundred spirit stones every month. How many years and months will it take to pay it off?" I'm in debt. Why don't you give up your position to me, senior brother, and I can embezzle public funds to repay the debt"
"Junior sister, if you really want to be the leader, then"
"Then you will give up your seat to me? Senior brother, you are really kind and righteous!"
"What I want to say is that if you want to be the leader, you should first give up drinking, sex, and wealth, and practice in seclusion for three to five years. It will not be too late to talk about it after you have achieved the Nascent Soul stage."
The woman in white immediately pretended that nothing happened: "Brother, lend me money."
""
"Speaking of who you were divining just now, it looks like he will live a short life and die young."
The head brother said in a deep voice: "Spirit Sword Sect."
The face of the fifth junior sister changed, and she put aside her drunken argument: "No way!? The Spirit Sword Sect is going to be exterminated?!"
"It's not just the Spiritual Sword Sect. I'm afraid that this sword light refers to the entire world of immortality. Do you still remember the legendary end of the Dharma era Alas, this sword light is broken from a third of the place. I'm afraid that the peaceful days of the world of immortality will only be three." Five years. Do you really want to spend one billion spiritual stones to sponsor the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to build those five ancient divine ships?"
"The Star Evolution Technique of the Spirit Sword Sect is one of the few deductive methods in the world of immortality, and senior brother is the best among them and can never make mistakes. However, the immortal sword that senior brother just postponed does not seem to be the Nianjian."
The head brother was startled: "Isn't it the Nian sword?" He quickly lowered his head and took a closer look. As expected, the sword hilt was not filled with the character Nian, but
The next moment, the old man who was so powerful in the state with his cultivation in the Transformation Stage let out a horrified cry: "How could it be a tea sword!? Doesn't this mean that there are only three or five cups of tea before the end of the law!?"
The fifth junior sister was also frightened. The wine gourd fell to the ground with a bang, and the golden wine gurgled out, but she didn't care.
"Brother, headmaster, how many times have I told you that you should just wear glasses if you are short-sighted. You can't even tell the difference between years and tea. What are you going to doforget it, now we only have a few cups of tea to start the Age of Ending Dharma, senior brother Please pass the throne to me quickly so that I can die a worthy death."
¡°¡ Even if I die, I will not bring shame to the Spirit Sword Sect.¡±
"I don't want to die with a monthly salary of five hundred spiritual stones! I will die with my eyes open!"
During the quarrel, time flew by and the last three cups of tea slipped away quietly.
On the top of Lingjian Mountain, the place closest to the starry sky, the bright starry sky is particularly dazzling. The stars in the sky are slowly and steadily rotating, and every star is shaking hastily, like pollen particles in the water observed under the microscopic mirror. That was a vision that had not happened in the Nine Provinces continent for thousands of years.
The senior brothers and sisters looked at each other with the same shock in their hearts.
The Star Evolution Technique is indeed true. The Age of Dharma Ending has casually arrived in Kyushu, preparing to ruthlessly wipe out everything in the world of immortality.
At the last moment, the head brother spoke in a deep voice with a strange color.
"Junior sister, there is something I wanted to say a hundred years ago but never had the chance. Now that the end of the law is imminent"
With the old but magnetic voice of the leader, words full of true feelings are sent to the other party.??Earside. The starry sky shook more and more intensely.
"I think it's time to tell you my truth."
At the last moment, the stars are turning, the stars are blooming like flowers, and the night sky is as bright as day. A broom-like meteor streaked across the sky.
That was the legendary Halley's Comet, the pioneer of the doomsday. The comet fell to the ground, the vitality of the heaven and earth was exhausted, and the end of the Dharma era came Lingjian Mountain was spread on the top of the mountain, and the formation that resisted the Nine Heavens Gang Wind suddenly trembled, as if the sky was about to collapse.
The bright eyes of the woman in white were flowing, and the reflection of a golden elixir was reflected in her eyes. She was dragging the bamboo sword backwards, lazily and diagonally upward, but it brought up a curtain of light that covered the sky, as if it was trying to hold up the collapsed sky. stand up.
However, the sky did not change after all. The meteors passed by the Kyushu Continent, and after the stars moved, everything returned to silence.
The fifth junior sister swung the bamboo sword from side to side in shock and uncertainty, feeling the changes in the vitality of heaven and earth like tentacles.
"It seemseverything is okay?"
The woman immediately turned back to her senior brother for confirmation. The senior brother¡¯s cultivation was two realms higher than hers - even though the woman was not afraid of a real fight - he had authority over the changes in the world.
The head brother looked lonely: "At least it's not the end of the Dharma era."
"Oh, Dayan Technique can also make mistakes? But it's okay. Senior brother, why do you look so disappointed?"
"nothing."
¡°It¡¯s rare to avoid the doomsday, so why not celebrate by reducing your debt.¡±
""
After the doomsday crisis passed, the leader could only let out a long sigh when he thought of the passion that was about to burst out just now. In addition, there are more doubts.
Dayan Technique is not absolute, but the premonition of the doomsday is not wrong. Just now, the Jiuzhou Continent was really just a pass away from the extinction of the world.
The leader was at a loss for this crisis that came and went even more suddenly.
¡°But it is certain but certain that the influence it brings is penetrating into the Kyushu continent little by little.
The old man looked up at the vast galaxy, sighed, and once again played with the star sword in his hand. After pondering for a long time, he said: "Surviving a catastrophe will lead to blessings in the future. After this crisis, it is likely to usher in the golden age of the world of immortality Yes Okay, when was the last time we held an Immortal Ascension Conference?¡±
The fifth junior sister opened her eyes wide: "Fresh food meeting?" She could not help but drool as she spoke.
The old man ignored her and counted: "At least it has been more than a hundred years. The next time will be twelve years later. The changes in the world will also appear by then. Don't expect too much. If we can do it again, By reviving the prosperous times of a hundred years ago, there is hope for the revival of the Spirit Sword Sect.¡±
At the mention of the revival of the sect, the smile on the fifth junior sister's face faded and she yawned, to which the old man just gave a wry smile.
"We missed the heyday of a hundred years ago, and there are only ten people of our generation left in the golden generation. This time no matter what"
So the fifth junior sister couldn't even yawn, she snorted coldly, turned around and left.
At the same time, at the foot of Lingjian Mountain, in an unknown corner of Cangxi Prefecture, a baby was born with a loud cry.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Time flies by, and the news of Halley's Comet passing by the Kyushu Continent has become an anecdote. Few people know that the world they live in was once extremely close to destruction.
People in Cangxi Prefecture are only concerned about one thing. The Spirit Sword Sect¡¯s Immortal Ascension Conference, which has been suspended for nearly a hundred years, will be held at the beginning of next month. I don¡¯t know who will be able to stand out.
The so-called Immortal Ascension Conference is actually a grand ceremony for the sect of cultivating immortals to recruit new members. Joining the sect starts the path of cultivation, which leads directly to the path of the Immortal Family. However, this is no longer the age of ancient mythology. In the world of immortality, only the grand ceremonies of the five top sects are qualified to be called the Immortal Ascension Conference.
The largest sect in the world of cultivating immortals, the Shengjing Immortal Sect, which occupies a single state in Zhongzhou; the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, known as the origin of cultivating immortals; the Gate of Ten Thousand Methods, which has the largest collection of immortal books and is known as the Museum of Immortal Cultivation; and the most powerful army in Kyushu. Junhuang Mountain; also, if you need people but no one, you need money but no money, you need knowledge but no knowledge, you need inheritance but no inheritance, God knows why it was included in the Spirit Sword Sect among the five major sects of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance!
The Spirit Sword Sect has a small population and is low-key. When it comes to sect power, not to mention compared with the four top sects, it seems to be inferior to the ordinary first-rate. However, the five major sects¡¯ shining golden signs are hard to look directly at, and the cultivation The Immortal World has not held an Immortal Ascension Conference for a long, long time.
The news of the Lingjian Sect holding the Immortal Ascension Conference spread across Kyushu three years ago. The age limit is twelve and below, regardless of other conditions. Compared with other sects that pay attention to family background and have ancestors of eighteen generations, it is simply inappropriate and loose. As a result, aspiring young people all over the world took action upon hearing the news, villagers in remote mountain villages, sons of wealthy families and even princes of a country The temptation of the immortal way is too strong, and a person in the mortal world??It's all boring in comparison.
There are still more than a week before the conference, and Lingxi Town at the foot of Lingjian Mountain is already overcrowded. Lingxi Town serves as the transfer station between Lingjian Mountain Gate and the mortal world. The permanent population is only a few hundred, but now the floating population has a tendency to exceed 10,000. At this time, not to mention a handful of inns, even tents were set up next to the public toilets as a temporary stopgap.
With so many people and so little land, encounters are inevitable, especially the Home Inn, the only one of its kind in the town, which is a hotly contested spot for military strategists.
boom!
In front of the inn door, three figures flew out and rolled into balls on the ground. Two of them were tall and yelled with nosebleeds on their faces.
"Little girl, my master is the National Preceptor of Canglan Kingdom. How dare you be so rude to us!?"
The young man with short brown curly hair, who was helped up by the two men and was obviously the young master, had a nosebleed and looked at the sneering landlady at the inn door with an incredibly dull look.
He Wen Bao has been so old that even his father has never slapped him. Unexpectedly, he was slapped so hard by the innkeeper's wife!
The landlady is not old, she seems to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. She is wearing a coarse robe and a greasy apron, but she looks proudly like a princess.
"Is the Imperial Master great? You, the emperor, will beat you the same way when you come! I said this place is full of people, don't you understand the human language!? Now the princes of the Ming Dynasty are squatting in the woodshed, you, a small country The natives want to live in a house by force!? Isn¡¯t that why everyone in Canglan country has no tutor?¡±
Wen Bao was a man of great national integrity. He was furious and shouted loudly: "How dare you insult our Canglan Kingdom!? Don't think that we are afraid of you because you live in Lingxi Town! You"
¡°Stop making such a scene in front of my store!¡±
Before Wen Bao finished speaking, he saw the landlady frown and sweep her away like the wind. The two bodyguards, despite their superb martial arts skills, had no time to react. They watched the young master being kicked away like a sandbag. Rolling down the slope.
The proprietress is a businessman, and businessmen do good to others without resorting to death. This kick may seem heroic but it is gentle. Wen Bao is not in much pain, but his whole body is sore and numb that he cannot move. He can only roll along the narrow ramp outside the store. Go away, go away
¡ª¡ª
With the support of the bodyguard, Wen Bao returned to the inn door with a bruised nose and face. Although he wanted to cut the proprietress into pieces with a thousand knives, he remained silent and resigned.
It¡¯s okay not to accept it.
Lingxi Town is the transfer station between Lingjian Mountain Gate and the mortal world. Under the protection of the Mountain Gate, no outsider can damage any plant or tree, let alone the proprietress of the inn. It¡¯s not like there aren¡¯t people who don¡¯t believe in evil these days. The head of the bodyguard of the Crown Prince of Yan caused trouble after drinking, and was beheaded by a passing Spirit Sword monk. The Crown Prince himself was also kicked back to the country, and was banned from being employed forever, and had nothing to do with occupying Youzhou. Compared with the Yan State in Banzhou, Canglan State is indeed just a small country, not to mention that the son of a national master is far inferior to the prince of a country.
Wen Bao felt hatred and regret in his heart. He knew the rules of Lingxi Town before they came. Assemble in Lingxi Town before the start of the conference. Family members of applicants are not allowed to accompany them. There are a maximum of two bodyguards. Then abide by all the rules in the town.
If they hadn't been so exhausted after traveling thousands of miles, and the landlady looked like a country girl, and she looked like a country girl, they wouldn't have gotten excited and made a fuss in the store. Now I don't know if Lingjian Mountain Gate knew about it. But the future is always clouded.
The two bodyguards hesitated to speak. Wen Bao sighed inwardly when he saw it. This was because he wanted to persuade himself to apologize, but the son of a dignified national master, whose status in Canglan Kingdom was even higher than that of the prince, now actually had to bow to a village girl. It¡¯s hard to calm down!
Standing at the door of the store, Wen Bao took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed down. He didn't think about the humiliation just now, nor did he look at the malicious and mocking eyes around him - these young people with the same noble background can usually pretend to be good at home. It's a good city, but now there are no elders to discipline them, and there are many enemies. They spare no effort when attacking their competitors.
When Wen Bao walked into the inn, a smile already appeared on his face, but the smile only lasted for a breath.
Because the proprietress in front of the counter was also smiling, far more sincerely than him, and the smile was facing a young man who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old and dressed in ordinary clothes.
"Okay, one upper room, please wait a moment, I'll let someone clean it up."
Wen Bao immediately felt sad and angry that his feelings had been betrayed, so he went to the same room! ? Didn¡¯t I just say that it was so full that even the princes of the Ming Dynasty stayed in the woodshed? What's going on in this upper room now?
But this time, before Wen Bao came forward, other people in the lobby were also filled with grief and anger: "Madam boss! What do you mean!?"
"you are notDid you say you didn't go to the room? Young Master, I spent a thousand taels of silver and can't even afford a living room in the woodshed, so what qualifications does he have to live in a living room! ? "
"Even if you are a Spirit Sword Sect, you still have to be reasonable, right?"
"Lady boss, please give me an explanation!"
Listening to the commotion in the lobby, the professional smile of the landlady suddenly turned into ice and snow: "What's the noise about? If you don't want to live here, you can get out! Do you think I'm willing to serve you losers?"
The bad attitude of the landlady immediately aroused public outrage. Seeing that a mass incident was about to occur, a well-meaning local passing by on the street pointed to the sign outside the door: "You outsiders, if you are not blind, just look carefully."
Immediately, someone ran out to watch, and next to the words "Home Inn", the signature of the person who wrote the calligraphy clearly read "Feng Yin".
" Feng Yin, when put forward alone, is just a slightly literary term, but if you add the word "real person" after Feng Yin, you will be a famous peerless master in the world of immortality.
How high is it? Lingjian Mountain is so high, and he lives on the top of Lingjian Mountain. He is the leader of a sect, and this is Master Feng Yin.
With the inscription from the leader of the Spiritual Sword to protect themselves, the princes suddenly became like losers, a group of people became disgraced and no longer had the courage to speak out.
However, the anger was hard to calm down, and the focus of resentment shifted to the young man. The so-called target was the young man who was registering at the counter. When he turned his head, he saw that man with delicate features and an outstanding temperament. He was wearing a silk gown. Although it is not very luxurious, it is clean and neat and complements the person it is.
However, when it comes to temperament, how are the princelings present inferior? After a brief period of shock, resentment boiled over again.
The young man raised his eyebrows and coughed as he saw something was wrong in the atmosphere.
"Things are not what you think."
After a pause, he said again.
¡°There is no adultery between me and the boss¡¯s wife.¡±
As soon as these words came out, almost everyone had a thought in their mind: Could it be that this person and the little boss lady are having an affair! ?
This time, the anger of the princelings has dissipated a little, because since there is adultery, there is nothing they can do about it.
But the lady boss behind the counter was as red as a volcano erupting.
Fortunately, the young man changed the topic in time.
"Lingxi Town is holding a prize-winning event for the Shengxian Conference. One of the prizes is an accommodation voucher for Home Inn."
Having said this, the landlady also confirmed: "That's it, I came here with the lottery tickets in an upright manner, so just shut up, you losers."
The lobby was quiet for a moment, and then someone stood up to find fault.
"The activities in Lingxi Town are clearly stated on the flyer distributed at the town gate. I have also read them in detail, but they never mentioned anything about accommodation vouchers."
Another person echoed: "Everyone has received the rewards you mentioned, which are nothing more than souvenirs such as wood carvings and amulets, but I have never heard of accommodation vouchers. There are dozens or hundreds of people in the lobby, why are there only Can he get the ticket?"
The landlady didn¡¯t pay any attention to this kind of question. She tilted her head and showed a disdainful smile.
But the young man explained patiently: "Because this reward is hidden, it will not be given to you on the spot."
The prince who was looking for trouble sneered: "Then tell me, how can you send it to us?"
"Oh, here's the process. First, talk to the old man who is handing out leaflets at the entrance of the town. He will tell you the story of the town and inform you of all the facilities in the town, including hotels, inns, grocery stores, etc here You have to listen patiently to trigger the next link.¡±
Hearing this, the princelings in the lobby were dumbfounded. The old man at the gate of the town talked in a vague way. He could introduce the gate of the town for half an hour. Who has time to listen to him tell the whole story of the town! ?
"However, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of chickens.
¡°At that time, I had finished listening.¡±
The princes turned to look, and many of them gasped, because they had recognized that it was Hai Yunfan, the second prince from the Yuntai Empire in Yunzhou.
Yuntai Empire is one of the most powerful countries in the Kyushu Continent, and Hai Yunfan is the most outstanding of the emperor's many children. When he was ten years old, people believed that one day he would oust his eldest brother from the position of crown prince.
Who would have thought that this second prince would abandon his entire empire and come here to seek immortality!
Hai Yunfan¡¯s eyes were stern: ¡°I have finished listening to the old man¡¯s story, but there is no next step.¡±
As a result, the young man laughed and said, "How could I tell you the next step so clearly? You need to figure it out yourself. After the old man told the story, he would cough a few times and say that he was thirsty.It's time to give him water. "
As a result, Hai Yunfan shook his head: "I also gave him water at that time."
The young man added: "Then the old man will say that after drinking water, he feels hungry."
Hai Yunfan: "That's right, so I asked my servant to give him a share of the dry food I brought with me."
Teenager: "He would say thank you, but obviously he was not happy with the meal."
Hai Yunfan frowned: "then what?"
¡°Then you have to ask, what is the dissatisfaction? The old man will say, there is no dissatisfaction, but he suddenly remembered the thousand-layer cake from Zhendong Liuji.¡±
"Thenyou have to buy him a thousand-feuille cake? He will give you a hotel voucher?"
"It's not that simple. Then go to Liu Ji's dim sum shop. The shop owner will tell you that the mille-feuille cake has been sold out. If you continue to ask, you will learn that the teahouse owner bought the mille-feuille cake for ten people in one go. Go to the teahouse, and the boss He is busy playing chess with the guests. Don't bother him about the mille-feuille cake at this time. Secretly help him win. Then he will get a piece of mille-feuille cake for free. Give the mille-feuille cake to the old man at the door. The old man will I will give you a letter of recommendation. You can find the mayor with the letter of recommendation. The mayor wants you to collect materialsthen go to the tailor shopthen go outside the villageand thenfinally, give the copper ring to the person at the gate of the town. Elderly people can get accommodation vouchers.¡±
¡¡
After finishing speaking, the only thing left quiet in the lobby was the rapid heartbeats of the princelings.
The crowd is from Tiannanhai and the north. He is at a high position. Although he is young, he has seen it. However, listening to the origin of the juvenile about the origin of this accommodation coupon, he only felt unbelievable.
" If this accommodation voucher is a deliberate design by Lingxi Town, then the designer must be an idiot, or at least mentally ill. Who can imagine such an outrageously complicated procedure? Even someone as smart and careful as Hai Yunfan could only follow the second step before failing, but there are at least a dozen more steps waiting to be completed! Each one is more incredible than the last!
And that young man is not a normal person. For this accommodation voucher, he ran around the town for at least a whole day! What's more, from beginning to end, no one told him that if he persisted like this, he would be rewarded! Why should he?
Even Hai Yunfan couldn't help but ask: "Did you know all this in advance?"
The young man raised his eyebrows: "Why do you need to know in advance? Seeing a huge task chain in front of you, any qualified adventurer will go all the way to the end!"
After saying that, he turned around and followed the waiter to the second floor. His back was indescribably cool.
Hai Yunfan frowned, the young man¡¯s tone was so matter-of-fact, as if only the mentally retarded could not understand, buthe did not understand.
But this is no longer important. An accommodation voucher for a hotel room is actually not that important. What is important is, who is this young man?
Hai Yunfan had information in his mind about all the young talents gathered in Lingxi Town who had some fame or even some special skills, but the young man in front of him had never heard of it. It stands to reason that his incredible reasoning ability alone would not solve the problem. An unknown person Thinking of this, Hai Yunfan felt more and more unfathomable about this person. It was rumored that in addition to the sons of secular dignitaries, there were also children of immortal cultivating families gathered here. Could it be?
Hai Yunfan was not far from the counter. He glanced at the registration book and happened to see the person's name.
"Wang Lu? Never heard of it."
"Wang Lu?"
There were many princelings with striking eyes in the lobby, and Wang Lu's name quickly spread in whispers.
"Could it be the Wang family from Lingnan Prefecture? I heard that there are a lot of weirdos in that family, so that fits the bill."
"No, I heard that Lingnan Prefecture has a big feud with the Spirit Sword Sect, and the Immortal Cultivating Family will never let their descendants join the Spirit Sword Sect."
"Or is it the Wang family in Shengjing?"
"Why don't you go to the Shengjing Immortal Sect and come to the Spirit Sword Sect to become a disciple? Although the Shengjing Immortal Sect has not held an immortal promotion conference for a long time, it is not that difficult for the descendants of the Shengjing Wang family to join the sect."
"Alas, your discussion is based on wishful thinking. You still don't know if the person is using his real name."
