The other disciples responded with a loud yes, and after bidding farewell to Master Songyang and Master Yunyang, they all passed through the Yuxiao Mountain Gate and walked towards the other nine peaks in small groups.
Seeing that the people were almost gone, Master Yunyang sacrificed the fairy sword first, flew into the air and said, "Let's go to Qingxiao Hall quickly!"
Guo Qingshan held out a wide fairy sword with one hand, hugged Mu Jingyu with the other hand and stood on the sword, followed the two of them and flew towards the gathering place on the mountain peak.
Along the way, you can see the surrounding mountains and cliffs. Two thousand-foot peaks rise from a group of slightly lower peaks, like two jade pillars reaching into the sky, forming the gate of Jiuhua Mountain.
There are two peaks on the left and one on the right. The slightly higher one is called Feilu Peak and the other is called Shaoyang Peak. These two peaks are where the outer disciples of the Jiuhua Sect practice and live. Master Yunyang is the leader of Feilu Peak. He is not only responsible for guarding the gate of Jiuhua Sect, but is also responsible for teaching the many outer disciples under his sect. Therefore, he was able to arrive at the mountain gate in time to welcome the return of Master Songyang and other disciples of the Jiuhua Sect.
Passing through the two peaks of Feilu and Shaoyang, you can see lush forests in the valley, and many winding paths paved with bluestones winding through the mountains, connecting the two peaks with many other cliffs. Several small streams and rivers flow at the bottom of the mountain, and there are countless small bridges above the rivers, connecting both sides of the river banks.
It is now sunrise, the time for Jiuhua disciples to practice their martial arts. I saw many small platforms on the steep cliffs. On them were disciples in twos and threes, either meditating or practicing with each other. Very few people are seen walking on the trails in the mountains.
In Jiuhua Mountain, no disciple is allowed to fly through the air at will. Only when something extremely important happens, you can fly in the air after reporting it to your master.
As for Master Yunyang and others, they are the first among the peaks of Jiuhua Mountain, so naturally they will not impose any restrictions. Those disciples who were practicing in the mountain stream looked up and saw a few people. They all stood in awe and watched the three people flying through the air.
Passing through these two peaks, the view suddenly opens up. I saw a sword-like mountain peak standing in the middle. Around it, six giant peaks of different heights and mountain topography stand in sequence. These six peaks form a semicircle, surrounding this sword-like giant peak in the middle of the valley.
Guo Qingshan pointed at the peak in front of him and said, "Jingyu, that peak is Tianjue Peak, the first peak of our Jiuhua Sect. Your uncle Mo's master, Tianyang Zhenren and I, live on Tianjue Peak." In the Qingxiao Hall. Where we are rushing to now, Master and several leaders are already waiting for us."
Mu Jingyu stood on the broad sword, only hearing the whistling of the wind in his ears. After hearing Guo Qingshan's words, he quickly followed his fingers and looked into the distance. I saw a huge palace on the top of the mountain that looked like it was being chopped with an axe.
"Uncle Guo, where is the place where Uncle Mo grew up?"
"Yes! Ever since Yun Shen was brought to Jiuhua Mountain at the age of seven, in just one year, he stood out from the many outer disciples. He was noticed by the master and accepted as a closed disciple. He devoted himself in Qingxiao Hall After practicing for more than ten years, I have achieved such a good level of cultivation."
At this point, Guo Qingshan's expression dimmed, and he paused for a moment before continuing, "Unexpectedly, the master and several uncles have just appointed him as the next leader, and they have not yet had time to officially announce it in the sect. He lost his life outside Wugong Mountain."
Mu Jingyu's eyes turned red instantly, and he whispered, "Uncle Mo was killed by the Elephant King just to save me! I really hope it was me who died at that time and not him!"
Guo Qingshan sighed and said, "Uncle Mo did this, naturally, to live up to your Grandpa Niu's instructions. You must practice well in Jiuhua Mountain in the future, so that you can live up to Yun Shen's hard work!"
Mu Jingyu nodded heavily and said secretly in his heart, "Uncle Mo asked me to practice Taoism well in Jiuhua Mountain before he died. When I want to rescue Bi Yun in the future, I can't let him down."
While the two were talking, the mountain peaks in front of them became clearer and clearer. When we were in the distance just now, we didn't realize how steep Tianjue Peak was. When he got closer, Mu Jingyu was surprised to find that the mountain peak in front of him really looked like it was built with miraculous craftsmanship.
The remaining mountain peaks made Mu Jingyu feel amazed. Then this Tianjue Peak is more than just awe-inspiring. I saw that the rocks surrounding this mountain peak were as smooth as a mirror, as if they had been cut with a sharp sword. Not to mention the dexterous mountain ape, even the golden eagle cannot settle on the mountain peak.
Looking up along the straight mountain peaks, countless clouds and mist gathered halfway up the mountain. Through an occasional gap, one can clearly see the palace above.
"Hurry up!" Guo Qingshan shouted in a low voice, and the sword suddenly rose vertically and flew along the cliff to the top of the mountain.
Guo Qingshan hugged Mu Jingyu tightly with his hands, spread his legs slightly, and fixed himself on the sword as if his feet were born on it.
Mu Jingyu's face turned pale with fear, and his body could not help but tremble slightly. He closed his eyes, not daring to look down. I could only feel the wind whistling in my ears. I don't know how long it took before I felt that my body had returned to stability and the speed of the fairy sword had also slowed down.
"We're here, come down."
Mu Jingyu heard Guo Qingshan's words in his ears, and then he opened his closed eyes. He couldn't help but open his big mouth, and it took him a long time to scream in surprise.
At some point, he followed Guo Qingshan and flew to the top of the mountain. Looking back, I saw white clouds surrounding the mountainside, making it impossible to see the scenery below.
Mu Jingyu only glanced at it twice before feeling dizzy and didn't dare to look at it again. He quickly turned around and was deeply shocked again. He just opened his mouth wide and was so surprised that he couldn't make any sound.
I saw a huge square with a radius of more than 100 feet, all made of white marble, appearing in front of me. The entire square is extremely flat, as if someone had cut off the entire peak with a giant sword.
Around the white marble square, there are more than 20 tall jade pillars, reaching into the sky. Mu Jingyu raised his head and stared, only to see lifelike stone statues carved on these jade pillars.
While Guo Qingshan pulled Mu Jingyu forward, he pointed at these stone statues and said, "This is the jade flute platform at the top of Tianjue Peak, and the statues carved on these jade pillars are all the statues of the past leaders of the Jiuhua Sect. . Think of me, Jiuhua Mountain, it has been more than 1,100 years since the establishment of the sect, and there have been nearly thirty leaders in the past."
Then he pointed to the two most spectacular stone statues in the farthest place and said, "Look at the two stone statues standing deep in the sea of clouds. One is Yu Renhai, the founder of our Jiuhua sect, and the other is the founder of our Jiuhua sect." It’s time to send out He Xiaozi who will carry forward the glory.”
Mu Jingyu followed the direction of Guo Qingshan's fingers and saw two more spectacular stone statues, one on the left and one on the right standing deep in the sea of clouds.
Guo Qingshan pulled Mu Jingyu and introduced the deeds of the past leaders of the Jiuhua Sect while following Master Jiuyang towards the depths of the square.
When he walked to the two stone statues of Yu Renhai and He Xiaozi, Mu Jingyu unconsciously took a second look. I saw these two huge stone statues, both of which were more than ten feet taller than the other stone statues. The material used is not ordinary white jade, but the pure white jade has a little golden light.
Mu Jingyu felt a little curious and was about to ask if it was made of jade. Guo Qingshan tightened his hand and took a few steps towards the center of the two stone statues.
"The two uncles have gone far, we have to keep up."
Mu Jingyu quickly responded and followed Guo Qingshan for a few steps. He followed closely but stopped immediately. He made a sound in his mouth and took a small step back unconsciously in fear.
I originally thought that after passing through the two stone statues, I should still be a square made of white marble. Not only did I see through the clouds in front of me, but what suddenly appeared in front of me was a colorful bridge. One end is connected to the white marble square at the foot, and the other end falls into the sea of clouds.
Through these flowing clouds and mist, Mu Jingyu was surprised to find that this colorful bridge was actually erected in the clouds. Where the other end fell, a huge palace appeared out of thin air.
Surprisingly, this huge palace was not built on a mountain peak, but on a floating boulder. And this colorful bridge is the only passage connecting the palace.
"Uncle Guo, how could this palace be built in the air? Could it be that this is where gods live?"
Guo Qingshan laughed and said, "Silly boy, that's the Qingxiao Palace!" Then he pulled him onto the Colorful Rainbow Bridge, pointed at the palace not far away and explained, "This Qingxiao Palace is not floating in the clouds, but coming from Halfway up the mountainside of Tianjue Peak, a smaller peak protrudes diagonally. However, this peak is hidden under the clouds and mist, and cannot be found unless you look carefully."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jingyu quickly leaned out and looked under the Hongqiao. Sure enough, in the sea of clouds, a section of the mountain was found protruding from the mountainside, supporting this huge palace.
After Mu Jingyu looked at it, he couldn't help but be amazed. Having seen the grandeur of Wuji Ruins, I thought that Jiuhua Sect was probably similar to him. After going up to Tianjue Peak today, I really understood that the Jiuhua Sect is not only majestic, but also dangerous and dangerous.
After walking down from Hongqiao, a huge palace appeared in front of him. After walking through the dozens of steps in front of the palace, a gold plaque hangs in the center of the palace. There are three large gilt characters written on it: Qing Xiao Palace, which looks very impressive.
Mu Jingyu looked at these three gilded characters, and a feeling of solemnity arose in his heart. He stood in front of the hall and froze his figure.
At this moment, the door in the center of the hall slowly opened. Master Jiuyang stepped in first. Master Songyang looked back at Guo Qingshan and signaled him to bring Mu Jingyu in. Then he followed Master Tianyang and disappeared into the depths of the hall.
Guo Qingshan glanced sideways at Mu Jingyu, who was standing dumbfounded, and shouted softly, "Jingyu? What are you doing in such a daze? Follow me in to see the master!"
"Oh? Oh, Jingyu knows." Mu Jingyu calmed down, responded quickly, and followed Guo Qingshan into this huge palace.
Just now, he seemed to see Mo Yunshen's figure. Just like his age at this time, he was also pulled to stand in front of Qingxiao Palace, looking at the three gilded characters with immature eyes. At this moment, he seemed to be possessed by Mo Yunshen, and the two of them merged into one, as if they were one.
Mu Jingyu reached out and held half of the jade pendant on his chest, and whispered to himself, "Uncle Mo, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to practice like you and become a person with great supernatural powers."
As Mu Jingyu stepped into the hall, the door behind him slowly closed again. After a soft bang, all the turbulent sounds of the outside world were completely isolated.
As the palace door closed, the light in the palace dimmed a lot, instead showing a softness. Mu Jingyu glanced around and saw that the main hall seemed extremely empty. Eight round chairs made of thousand-year-old rosewood were placed in a semicircle on the main hall.
Master Tianyang and Master Songyang have slowly come to their respective seats and sat on the rosewood chairs. On the other two rosewood chairs, there was a man and a woman, two old men wearing Taoist robes. The remaining three seats were empty.
And sitting on the rosewood chair in the center was an old man with a somewhat weathered face. The body under the wide Jiuhua Taoist robe also looked slightly thinner.
After seeing Mu Jingyu's glance, he raised his eyes slightly and whispered, "You are the kid named Mu Jingyu whom Yun Shen accepted."
