The sky is still dark.
The lights were on in the backyard, and Tianbao's shouts could be heard.
In the room, Yu Ye was arranging his clothes.
He tied his hair into a bun again and changed into a gray coarse cloth gown. He had a bag wrapped around his waist and a piece of suede wrapped around his hands.
This is the outfit Tianbao bought for him.
Wearing strips of cloth or suede on your hands can prevent your sword from falling out of your hands. It is a tip for desperate fighting, and it is also a common attire for Jianghu people.
On the bed, there was a long sword and a stack of talismans.
The green steel sword is his weapon when he disguises himself as a Jianghu man.
With his current cultivation level and magical power, he should be able to control the flying sword. But after Jiao Ying's persuasion, he gave up the idea. The power of the flying sword is not as powerful as the sword energy, but it risks exposing one's cultivation level.
Among the talismans, there are twenty armor-breaking talismans, more than thirty fire-living talismans, two wind-controlling talismans and two dragon-subduing talismans.
The last trip to Chenling Mountain consumed sixteen armor-breaking talismans and two fire-living talismans. The remaining talismans, plus the sword energy and the Tianlong Shield, were all he relied on to go to Beiqi Mountain.
Yu Ye took out a few bottles of elixirs and a few ingots of gold and silver and put them on the couch. Then he put away the talisman, grabbed the long sword, opened the door and walked out.
In the yard, Tianbao and Renliang were gearing up and in high spirits.
A lantern hangs at the corner door leading to the front yard. Under the dim light, there were several figures standing, including old people, women, and children.
When the Tianbao brothers saw him appearing, they strode outside the hospital.
Yu Ye raised his hands and bowed deeply to the old man and woman at the corner door.
Outside the courtyard, three horses were ready to go. There are three identical bamboo hats hanging on the horse's back.
In the hazy morning, the three of them left Zhuangzi on horseback.
After a while, we drove onto a country road. Looking back, the Tianbao family's courtyard has disappeared into the valley.
"Brother Tianbao, is there a place name here?"
"There are many pear trees in the mountains, so it is called Pear Tree Valley."
"If something unexpected happens during the trip to Beiqi Mountain and the brothers are separated, we might as well return here and reunite again. What do you two eldest brothers think?"
"Just follow what third brother said!"
"Let's go——"
…
Five days later.
Beiqi Town.
There were three more men on horseback on the street.
It was the two brothers Yu Ye and Tianbao. They all wore bamboo hats, carried sharp weapons, and looked dusty. They looked like people from the world who went to Beiqi Mountain to watch the ceremony.
From this point of view, there are many people in similar attire, and together with the hawkers and the carriages and horses, the streets are crowded.
There is a courtyard at the west end of the town. The flag in front of the courtyard says Fulai Inn.
Tianbao rushed into the courtyard on horseback, roared a few times, and then greeted angrily: "Don't worry about where you live, let's fill our stomachs first!"
The three brothers walked from the east end of the town to the west end of the town, from the Yuelai Inn to the Fulai Inn. Every house was still full and there was no place to stay. As Tianbao said, he could only rest in the inn's wine shop and eat something to fill his stomach.
Yu Ye and Renliang jumped off their horses and handed their mounts to the waiters to take care of them.
In front of the wine shop, people were also coming and going.
Yu Ye stopped and looked at the noisy but familiar town.
After nearly a year, I returned to Beiqi Town again. Last time he ran away, but this time he faced the difficulties and changed his two partners. He also became a charlatan.
"Third brother——"
Yu Ye turned around and walked into the wine shop.
The wine shop was full of people, changing glasses, shouting and drinking, and it was noisy.
The three brothers grabbed a table in the corner and sat down. They ordered a jar of wine and three pots of meat, and they were not willing to give in to each other. They ate and drank happily.
Yu Ye actually likes this kind of life where he drinks a lot of wine and eats meat. He wants to be carefree and comfortable. While he was eating and drinking, he quietly dispersed his consciousness.
After arriving in Beiqi Town, he secretly paid attention. However, no Qizhou monks were found among the crowd on the street.
According to Hong An, there are thirty monks who have come to Daze successively, and many of them have lost their lives. Today, there are still four masters of foundation building and fifteen masters of Qi refining. And the fortune-telling in it is not compatible with Nanshan, and the five casual cultivators hired will not work wholeheartedly. Based on this calculation, Nanshan and the Immortal Sect disciples he brought are the real opponents.
"Everyone, this is a rare opportunity to go to Beiqi Mountain..."
"how do I say this……"
"Become a celestial being and practice the path to immortality..."
"How can there be such a good thing in the world? Why don't you hear that more than a hundred comrades were buried in Chenling Mountain..."
"In my opinion, let's go and wait and see what happens. If there are any benefits, you and I will do our part. But if something unexpected happens, just run away, haha..."
"It is said that comrades from all parties have arrived at Beiqi Mountain. How can you and I fall behind..."
Everyone in the wine shop was chatting about the upcoming trip to the Northern Qishan Mountains. Their excitement and anticipation were palpable, but there were also some who were worried and opportunistic.
"Second brother, third brother, since the inn here is full, you and I might as well rush to Beiqi Mountain so that we can deal with it in advance if something happens!"
"What brother said makes sense!"
"That's what I meant!"
Yu Ye eats and drinks quite rudely and casually, looking no different from people in the world, but his appetite now is very small, a piece of meat and a bowl of wine are enough. In the blink of an eye, he had eaten and drank enough. He said "Excuse me" to the Tianbao brothers, got up and walked out of the wine shop, and went to the inn yard to take a breath and find some peace.
But just as he walked into the yard, his expression changed.
At the same time, a man passing by suddenly stopped and asked doubtfully: "Could this be..."
Yu Ye turned around quickly, stretched out his finger and said, "Please be careful what you say!"
"oh?"
The man was in his early thirties, wearing a Taoist robe, with a short beard, and bright eyes. He suddenly said with joy: "It is indeed Yu Ye..."
Yu Ye couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Brother Taofeng, it's rare to meet again today, why do you need to harm me!"
Taofeng, whose real name is Tao Fengzi, is a disciple of Xiyun Mountain Taoist Sect and a monk at the fifth level of Qi Refining. I met him outside Qingye Town, and they teamed up to kill two Qizhou monks, and then parted ways, not expecting to meet again unexpectedly today. What was even more unexpected was that he actually called Yu Ye by his first name.
"Brother Yu, you are too careful!"
Taofeng said disapprovingly: "You and I are talking, how can we allow others to spy on us!"
While eating, there was no one around.
Yu Ye stretched out his hand to lower his bamboo hat and said softly: "I am a timid person!"
"Haha, Brother Yu is really good at joking. If you are timid, how dare you come here in person!"
Taofeng's face was still full of joy and he said excitedly: "And you and I are not the only ones who have come here in person, there are also several fellow masters. Let me introduce you to them, and then we will go to Beiqi Mountain together. Come on -"
How many fellow experts are there?
Several figures suddenly appeared in front of Yu Ye's eyes, and he hurriedly said: "No need..."
"This time is no different than in the past. People from all walks of life gather in Beiqi Mountain. Even if the Qizhou monks have ulterior motives, they dare not risk the disapproval of the world. What's more, the establishment of Beiqi Mountain Immortal Sect is not justified in name and in words..."
Taofeng was talking to himself, raised his hand and urged: "Brother Yu, you and I go to the guest room to talk!"
However, he saw that his brother was standing still, and there were two strong men beside him. Not only were the three of them wearing bamboo hats, but their attires were also very different.
"Brother Tao, I don't want to disturb you today. I'll ask you for advice another day!"
Yu Ye smiled apologetically and raised his hands to say goodbye.
Taofeng said in astonishment: "Brother Yu, how can you forget your identity and morality and hang out with people in the world?"
"Brother Tao..."
Before Yu Ye said anything, Tianbao and Renliang beside him became unhappy.
"What's wrong with the Jianghu people?"
"Who is this?
Taofeng smiled faintly and said: "I am a monk in Xiyun Mountain, and I will not associate with reckless people. I advise brothers to cherish themselves and respect themselves..."
Tianbao and Renliang looked at each other and became furious——
"Damn it, I'm just a reckless person! What the hell are you? All the Taoist sects have been destroyed. How can a lost dog pretend to be a big-tailed wolf? Bah-"
"Hmph, how dare you look down on people in the world of martial arts, look down on my third brother, you have the damn skills, just wait -"
Taofeng's face darkened and he said angrily: "Bold..."
As a cultivator, he believed in his integrity. Even though he had suffered hardships, he had never been insulted like this.
Tianbao's eyes widened, he pulled out the long knife with a clang, and said viciously: "Damn it, I'm born bold!"
In an instant, more than 20 men from all walks of life rushed out of the wine shop, shouting angrily: "Who dares to look down on me, where are they?" Ren Liang's figure appeared in the crowd and shouted: "Who dares to look down on me?" "That damn Taoist, brothers, chop him down!"
Unexpectedly, Taofeng raised his hand and summoned a sword light.
When everyone saw the flying sword, their momentum weakened. Tianbao was as crazy as ever, he raised his long knife and rushed forward.
Yu Ye was also stunned when he saw the chaotic scene.
He just didn't want to deal with Taofeng, and he never wanted to cause such a big mess. But we can't let it go, otherwise a bloody conflict will be inevitable.
Yu Ye hurriedly stepped forward to block Tianbao and said to Taofeng, "Brother Taofeng, this is enough!"
He seemed to be persuading, but in fact he was favoring this group of gangsters.
Taofeng shook his head in disbelief and said in a regretful tone: "Brother Yu, I didn't expect you..."
Yu Ye grinned bitterly and pulled Tianbao out.
Tianbao still refused to give up and cursed: "Third brother, let go, I will chop him to death——"
Renliang in the crowd shouted at the right time: "Good brothers, please disperse. The commotion has become too big to end!"
The gangsters present knew how to give up when something was good, and they didn't suffer any loss. They became more ambitious and dispersed with their arms swaying.
Taofeng had no choice but to give up.
And he still couldn't figure it out. His brother was a master of Taoism and had killed countless people, but now he was brothers with a group of reckless men. Could it be that the Taoist tradition had really perished and humanity had been lost?
Yu Ye ignored Taofeng's thoughts. He urged his clerk to bring his mounts, and hurriedly left Beiqi Town with Tianbao and Renliang.
The direction we are going to is Beiqi Mountain.
There are still a few days left until the day of viewing the ceremony at Beiqi Mountain Immortal Gate. Rather than letting Tianbao and Renliang, who are good at causing trouble, stay in Beiqi Town, it would be better for the two brothers to go to Beiqi Mountain to cause trouble...
