When they arrived at the inn, they bought some dry food and flew to Wushan, 1,600 miles away.
At the same time, Huo Yuan, the King of Wu of Banner City in the south of Longcheng, personally led an army of 100,000 people, King Li Xi of Tiecheng personally led an army of 150,000 people, King Xiao Yuhu of the South personally led an army of 100,000 people, and King Ling of the North, He Zheng, personally led an army of 100,000 people. Wang Wu Zhixiu personally led an army of 150,000, as well as a million troops gathered from various places in the Black and White Alliance, and were encircling Dragon City in large numbers. At the same time, Tiancheng Grand Marshal Li Chunjin, Nancheng Grand Marshal Zhang Feiling, Fucheng Protector Li Chaoren, and Xiao Wang Liao Zhihua also received orders from Xue Yang to intercept them halfway with the kings.
Leaving aside the dragon city, let's just say that Luofan and Hua Xiangyi kept heading south all the way. We drove all the way during the day, rested twice, had some food in Tiancheng and Qicheng, changed horses and rode until dark, then continued on the road until dawn. Arriving at Huacheng before dawn the next day, they changed carriages and started on their way so that Hua Xiangyi could rest on the carriage for two or three hours. Before noon, the carriage was replaced by a fast horse.
In this way, we drove for one night and two days, and on the third day at dawn and dusk, we arrived at the foot of Daiwu Mountain in Hulu County, a mountain city. The boundary of the mountain city is criss-crossed by mountains, with deep forests and heavy valleys. The terrain of Daiwu Mountain is extremely dangerous and filled with poisonous insects. A hundred years ago, there was a Kongluo Temple on Daiwu Mountain, a thousand-year-old temple that was abandoned for hundreds of years due to wars. Taoist Aunt Cangxu came to Daiwu Mountain at that time and spent money to buy more than ten miles of surrounding mountains from the mountain people. With the consent of the Tiandu Dynasty and the Black and White Alliance, she rebuilt the Kongluo Temple and established the Xuzhen Sect. Since the establishment of Xu Zhen Sect, no one dares to approach the southern mountain of Dai Wu Mountain for more than ten miles.
Taoist Aunt Cangxu herself is very mysterious. Since she established the Xuzhen Sect, she has almost never left Dai Wushan. Except for going down the mountain a few times for the Taitian god back then, there is no more. But her strength is recognized as powerful. Fifty years ago, when Aunt Cangxu came down from the mountain, her martial arts had reached a state of perfection and she had few opponents in the world. Now that fifty years have passed, there is no need to mention strength, so the black and white factions have never dared to go to Dai Wushan to provoke. Wushan's reputation as a master of immortal cultivation, with half a body of magical power that surpasses all nine states, is no lie.
Hulu County, Langbei Inn. At this time, the store door is closed. Luo Fan and the two men knocked on the door with their faces covered. Soon they saw the masked secret guards of Taiping Pavilion coming to open the door.
Entering the inn, Luofan said: "Sister Hua, this place has been rented by my Taiping Pavilion. Sister, I will go upstairs to rest for half a day. In the morning, I will go to Daiwu Mountain to ask for elixirs. If Taoist Sister Cangxu is willing to borrow it, that would be great. If not, I will have no choice but to outsmart him, and I may need my sister’s help then.”
"Okay, be careful, don't get beaten to death by my master." Hua Xiangyi yawned and went upstairs.
Luo Fan came to the back hall of the inn, where a middle-aged man and woman were waiting with their faces covered. These two people are Lin Zhaoxuan and Mo Qiao, the people in charge of Shancheng Taiping Pavilion. These two are Fauci's confidants, and they are also husband and wife. They jointly run the Shiliang Clan in the mountain city of Baidaozhong. Passing by the mountain city last night, Luo Fan had asked the two of them to come to Hulu County to take care of things. The two people greeted the visitor and said, "Deputy Pavilion Master, you are here."
"You're welcome, sit down. Let's discuss together how to get the elixir from Taoist Aunt Cangxu. According to the information I have collected in the past few days, it is impossible for Taoist Aunt Cangxu to get the elixir by herself. So, We must find a way to outwit her. In a moment, I will go to Daiwu Mountain first to see if I can persuade her. If not, we will grab the medicine tonight. You have lived in the mountain city for a long time, do you have any ideas? " Luo Fan.
Lin Zhaoxuan said: "This is easy to say, but difficult to do. This Taoist nun Cangxu is not experienced in cultivating immortals in Wushan. She has half a body of magical power that can overwhelm Jiuzhou, and her skills are really unfathomable. If we want to attack by force, I am afraid that even a hundred thousand people will not be able to defeat me." . What's more, since Wushan was closed a hundred years ago, there has been no way into the mountain. Wushan is covered with clouds and mist all year round, with a strong miasma and poisonous insects everywhere. If there is no familiar person to lead the way, it will take a day or two to reach Xuzhen. I sent Kong Kong to watch. What’s more, I don’t know where Taoist Cangxu is hiding the elixir. It’s so unorganized, how to start?”
Mo Qiao also said: "That's true. That Taoist nun is over a hundred years old, but she looks like eighteen. There are also rumors here that she is a fairy who came to the world. Our skills are considered to be average in the world, but it is difficult to defeat her. She made a move. Not to mention Taoist Cangxu, but also the female disciples under her. They are no more than twenty years old, but they all have extraordinary martial arts. Even if we reach the empty view, we can't get in. This matter is too difficult. Time is too short and there is really nothing we can do.”
Hearing the words of the two people, he knew that they were afraid of Taoist Cangxu in their hearts. Luofan smiled and said: "When doing big things, you can't be afraid of difficulties. Niutoushan is a world meeting, and the Black and White Alliance is so majestic. I can't still destroy the Tiansha Alliance and kill ten people with my hands. Zhuang Shafutu, the king of destiny ghosts, defeated the immortal Lianwan Island Kuai Shiyuan, fought against the five poison sects, and killed no one in the black and white alliance to dare to speak out! To deal with powerful enemies, you must have a cautious attitude, a sharp mind, and bold thinking . If you are trembling and thinking about failure before facing the enemy, how can you win?"
When the two heard this, they looked surprised at the same time and said in amazement: "Ah! I didn't expect that so many great things would happen in the world in the past few days. The deputy pavilion master was so young, he actually defeated Kuang Shiyuan, the Yin and Yang evil master of Xianren Lianwan Island. It seems that his skills are also good. To the realm of transformation. What the Deputy Pavilion Master said is that Taiping Pavilion is originally planning for world affairs, and the difficulties in the future must be huge, but these are not the reasons for us to stagnate. The Deputy Pavilion Master is unparalleled in wisdom, and I think he already has something to deal with Taoist Cangxu. Way to do it."
"The method is very simple. It's still the old method of inducing the tiger to leave the mountain! In the past few days, I have been thinking about a question. Everyone knows that Aunt Cangxu rarely leaves the mountain, and even refuses to leave a step for decades. I originally thought, Cangxu Maybe the Taoist nun is also a cultivator. She hides in the mountains and concentrates on practicing and refining elixirs. It is understandable that she does not leave the mountain. But I also learned that this Taoist nun Cangxu does not seem to be a pure-hearted and ascetic cultivator. First, she does not uphold the precepts. She doesn't read Taoist scriptures, but eats meat and drinks alcohol. Secondly, she has a domineering and ruthless personality and is extremely harsh on her disciples. She will also arrange for them to use all kinds of methods to collect precious medicinal materials from all over the world. So I conclude that Kong Laoguan must have The thing guarded by Taoist Aunt Cangxu, and this thing is probably related to the immortality and rejuvenation pill. According to insiders, although Taoist Aunt Cangxu did not leave Daiwu Mountain in the past few years, she would still be active in the mountain. In the past few years, she has been She stayed in the Danji Palace all day long. Danji Palace was where she made alchemy. I thought there must be something extremely important to Taoist Cangxu, and she didn’t dare to be careless. It was most likely the Immortality Rejuvenation Pill. So this time, We will lead Taoist Cangxu out of Danji Palace and sneak inside to find out what is inside. If we can directly find clues to the elixir of youth and rejuvenation, it will be great. If we cannot find the elixir, we can find Taoist Sister Cangxu's weakness. , maybe we can also use it." Luo Fan.
"That makes sense. As long as we can enter the Danji Palace, this matter has a high probability of success. But, how can we lead Taoist Cangxu out of the Danji Palace?" Lin Zhaoxuan asked.
"You need to take care of this. I want that Taoist nun to go out. The only possibility is that the Xu Zhen sect is in danger of extinction, and she has to take action. I have brought insiders of the Xu Zhen sect, so I need you Find three to five hundred martial arts masters for me, let me lead the attack on the Xu Zhen Sect, and then lead Taoist Aunt Cangxu to take action. As soon as Taoist Aunt Cangxu leaves the Danji Palace, I will arrange for people to sneak in immediately to find the Rejuvenation Pill."
"This person is easy to find. Our Shiliang Gang can gather them together. But there are no big gangs near Hulu County, and there are not many masters. These people will not be able to deal with the masters of the Xu Zhen Sect when they arrive at Daiwu Mountain, and they may not be able to attract Taoist Aunt Cangxu. ." Mo Qiao said.
"Hey, you don't need to be a high-level expert, and don't look for your own people. Taoist Aunt Cangxu is extremely skilled in martial arts and has ruthless intentions. If you fight against such a person, you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. There are some extremely vicious black and white gangs near Hulu County. It's harmful to the local area. Let's pretend to be members of the Black and White Alliance and go find people from them. We only need to pay a lot of money, but we're afraid they won't come." Luo Fan said, taking out a wad of silver notes from his arms and pushing them over with a smile.
"Okay. As long as they have money, these people are willing to do anything. So what else do we need to do?" Lin Zhaoxuan put away the banknotes and said.
"Prepare more tools such as kerosene, thunder bombs, and rockets. If Taoist Cangxu insists on not leaving the Taoist temple, we will burn her Taoist temple with fire to see if she can come out," Luofan said.
"This is a good way. It can attract Taoist Cangxu and is safer at the same time."
The three of them discussed and arranged all the details of the plan, and then acted separately.
At noon, the clouds and fog in the mountains have subsided slightly, but they are still steamy and quite fairy-like. Luofan changed into a white brocade auspicious cloud embroidered mountain costume, carrying a gold jade sword on his back, flew to the foot of Daiwu Mountain, raised his breath, and stepped on the pine trees, willow tops and vines of the mountain, just like an immortal flying. The people who were busy farming at the foot of the mountain saw a man in black flying up the mountain, and they all called him an immortal!
The Immortal took quick steps and flew in mid-air, without being invaded by poisonous miasma or entangled by vegetation. The mountains for more than ten miles were like flat ground. In just a few breaths and a cup of tea, he had reached the top of the mountain and had a clear view. There were more than a dozen young women dancing swords in front of the Taoist temple. Seeing that they are only twenty years old, but they all have good martial arts and skills, just their acting skills make them look cold, murderous, and sand is flying.
"Sima Bing of the Dragon City Sima family, come to the Immortal Mountain to pay a visit to the old immortal!" Luo Fan came to the top of the mountain and exerted his internal power from a distance, and several clear whistles were heard. Immediately in the empty view, dozens of expert women came with troops.
