On the Willow Avenue.
An old man and a young man came quickly.
The two of them were dressed in Taoist robes and had Taoist buns on their heads. They were both dressed as immortal cultivators. However, the older one held his head high and was energetic, while the younger one had a thoughtful look on his face, looking a little absent-minded.
The avenue at your feet starts from Tianfeng City and goes straight to Tianming Mountain at the Suzaku Immortal Gate. As the date of the Tianming Dharma Banquet is approaching, passers-by can be seen from time to time along the way. Among them were mortals and monks, either hurrying on their way or taking a nap by the roadside, admiring the scenery of the distant mountains and enjoying the cool breeze under the shade of the trees.
The old man and the young man are from Tianfeng City.
Before noon, Tianming Mountain is already in sight.
"Junior brother, Tianming Mountain is in front of us!"
"..."
"Why don't you say anything?"
"I'm looking at the drawings."
"Have a rest here for a while!"
Leng Chen slowed down and stretched out his hand to signal.
Yu Ye followed him to the shade of a nearby tree and stopped to look into the distance.
More than ten miles away, the mountain is as high as a screen, surrounded by white clouds, and it is magnificent.
Tianming Mountain.
The monastery of the Suzaku Immortal Sect in Xuanfeng Kingdom is located.
It is reported that there is a huge rooftop named Zhuque Terrace on the main peak of Tianming Mountain. On the ninth day of the seventh lunar month, disciples of immortal sects from all over the world will gather at the Suzaku Terrace to take turns giving lectures on Buddhist scriptures and practicing techniques. This is the Tianming Dharma Feast. The scale of the event will be quite large, with a large number of people and experts gathered. It can be called a grand gathering of Qizhou Immortal Dao.
The Yunchuan Immortal Sect was also invited, so they sent their disciples from afar, not to participate in the grand event, but to ruin the grand feast.
After weighing for many days, Yu Ye took on this important task.
Instead of thinking about it, since you can't just sit back and watch, you might as well take over the matter so as not to be at the mercy of others. Even if the danger is unpredictable, at least your life is in your own hands. What's more, he once burned Beiqi Mountain, so he may not be able to burn Tianming Mountain again.
As he said, in order to light up the fire, he had to check the map of Tianming Mountain and write down the relevant information collected by Cang Zhu.
The Zhuque Terrace in Tianming Mountain is a famous landscape. In order to entertain fellow immortals from all walks of life, it will be opened to the public on the tenth day of June.
In addition, there are five Jindan masters sitting in charge of Zhuque Gate. The master of the sect is Linghu Bei; the four elders are Zhongxuan, Dong Ran, Guangyuan and He Quanzhi. There are more than twenty foundation-building disciples and four to five hundred Qi-refining disciples under their respective sects. An immortal sect with such a large number of monks is enough to look down upon the entire Xuanfeng Kingdom and compete with the immortal sects from the other four countries.
Speaking of the immortal sects of the other four countries, Cang Shu also recorded it in the jade slips: among the immortal sects in the Qi State, the Tiansheng Sect is the most respected, with the sect leader Su Qiuzi; in the Yun State, the Tianyun Sect is the most respected, with the sect leader Xun Yuan; In the Wei Kingdom, the Xuanting Sect is headed by Mu Yuanzi; in the Zhongshan Kingdom, the Yunchuan Xianmen family is naturally the only one, and the sect leader is Xie Luozi.
In addition to the five major immortal sects, there are also numerous small immortal sects in Qizhou. For example, the Xuanling Gate where Ming Ye was located, and the Xuanli Gate that was destroyed, and so on. There are more than a hundred immortal sects invited this time, and thousands of people will gather in Tianming Mountain.
"Junior brother, there are no outsiders here. Let me tell you your strategy so that my elder brother can help you with the details."
Leng Chen waved his hand to fan the cool breeze, looking very hot. And a master who has perfected the ninth level of Qi refining has long been immune to the cold and heat. The reason why he was pretending was just to take the opportunity to ask questions.
Yu Ye's thoughts returned to the present.
"What's the plan?"
"Tell me how you ruined the Tianming Fa Banquet!" No one knew Yu Ye's plan, and the same was true for Leng Chen. He was going out together, so he naturally wanted to find out.
But Yu Ye said perfunctorily: "It's not too late to talk about it another time."
Leng Chen was unwilling to give up and complained: "This matter is so important that you shouldn't hide anything."
Yu Ye shook his head.
Although this senior brother supported him and arranged for him to take over the trip to Tianming Mountain, he still had doubts about him, or he did not believe that he could ruin the Tianming Dharma Banquet.
And before acting, he doesn't like to reveal anything, otherwise he will face more doubts, and the result is that he can't do anything.
"We haven't arrived at Tianming Mountain yet, where do you want me to start?"
"This... makes sense. I'm afraid..."
"I promise senior brother that I will never act recklessly."
Yu Ye raised his feet and walked forward, then turned around, pointed to the mountains in the distance, and said loudly: "It's rare to go out, how can you miss this beautiful scenery——"
With his promise, Leng Chen felt at ease.
"Junior brother, do you also know the joy of scenery?"
“Don’t be distracted by clouds and chaos, keep your eyes open for the scenery!”
"You actually remembered what I said, so you are sincere! And the scenery is different from each other, and each has its own unique features!"
"The old man has a profound realm, and the boy has benefited a lot!"
"Flattery..."
"Hey……"
The theory about scenery and scenery comes from a conversation in Xuanhui Mountain.
An old man and a young man walked side by side, talking and laughing along the way.
Tianming Mountain is getting closer...
Tianming Mountain.
The main peak of Tianming Mountain is thousands of feet high, but it seems that the peak has been cut off, forming a huge mountain terrace at the top of the peak, surrounded by a circle of exquisite jade railings. In the middle of this hundred-foot-square mountain flat is a square stone platform ten feet in size and more than three feet high. In the middle of the stone platform, there is a ten-foot-high white jade stone pillar. Not only is it shrouded in layers of runic restrictions, but there is also a large stone carved bird surrounding it. The big bird should be the legendary sacred bird, the Suzaku. Its head, wings and tail feathers are all lifelike. In particular, the way it soars into the sky is like towering over the sky and swallowing mountains and rivers. It makes people look up and feel awe.
This is the Suzaku Terrace.
At noon that day, three people walked up to the spacious Suzaku Stage. One of them is middle-aged, stout, with a beard, and is not angry and intimidating; the other two have the appearance of old men, one has gray beard and hair and a somewhat gloomy face; the other has silver hair and a kind-hearted look.
The sky is just right, but I can see the vast mountains in the distance, the vast clouds and the sky, the roaring wind and dragons, and the myriad of things.
"Well, it deserves to be called the Suzaku Terrace!"
"The spiritual energy here gathers together, and it can be called a blessed land of immortals!"
"It's rare for Brother Su and Brother Xun to visit, so I should accompany you on the tour!"
The gloomy old man who praised him was Su Qiuzi, the master of Tiansheng Sect in Qi State; the middle-aged man who echoed his words was Xun Yuan, the master of Tianyun Sect in Yun State. The kind-hearted old man is the owner of this place, the master of the Suzaku Sect, Linghu Bei.
"The Vermillion Bird Sect is holding a Tianming Dharma Banquet, and of course I, Su Qiuzi, will come to congratulate you!"
"If your neighbor is happy, you should congratulate him!"
"Haha, thank you both for your affection and kindness. Qizhou Immortal Dao is as harmonious as you and I, how can there be any disputes among the Immortal Sects of the Five Kingdoms!"
"Well, Mu Yuanzi of the Wei Kingdom claims to be a noble man and doesn't care about worldly affairs, so let's leave him alone. However, Xie Luozi of the Yunchuan Sect is not willing to be left alone. After his Kongtong realm was in trouble, he actually sent his disciples everywhere to seek provocation and revenge. , It’s really unreasonable!”
"Not only that, Xie Luozi has been looking for the whereabouts of those treasures. It is said that his disciples' footprints have reached overseas. It shows that he is ambitious and has big plans!"
"Hmph, I've tolerated him for many years, but he keeps pushing further and further. One day I will definitely seek an argument with him, even if it means breaking my skin!"
"If Brother Su goes to Yunchuan Peak, count me as one of them. Even if Xie Luozi finds the treasure, he will not be allowed to hide it. Our immortal sects from the five countries are connected with each other, how can we allow him to do whatever he wants..."
"hehe!"
Linghu Bei saw that the anger of his two old friends was hard to go away, so he smiled slightly and comforted him: "Two Taoist brothers, please be patient for a moment! Let's leave this matter behind. I will go to the Xuanting Gate of Weiguo to meet Mu Yuan. Zi Dao clearly understands the interests, please ask him to go to Yunchuan Peak with you and my three families to ask Xie Luozi for an explanation!"
Su Qiuzi and Xun Yuan nodded.
Linghu Bei swung his sleeves and put his hands behind his back, then looked up at the tall stone pillars. He still looked kind and kind, but a coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself: "Over the years, Xie Luozi has prided himself on being smart and has always been active, and you and I have not been idle either..."
…
Three to five miles away from Tianming Mountain, there is a small town, Queming Town.
The town is a gathering place for mountain people from far and near. There are only a few dozen households, but there are all kinds of wine shops, shops, and inns. In addition, as the Tianming Dharma Banquet is approaching, monks from all over the world gather one after another. The small town unexpectedly It was already overcrowded.
It was already afternoon when Yu Ye and Leng Chen arrived at Queming Town.
When he found an inn, he was told that it was full, so he went to another inn, but still couldn't find a place to stay.
Install the latest version. 】
The two had no choice but to wander around, and finally grabbed a table in front of a wine shop and sat down. Unexpectedly, the prices of the food and wine were extremely expensive. A jar of wine and five kilograms of meat were charged two ingots of silver or two spiritual stones at a discount.
"too dark!"
Leng Chen stormed out of the restaurant angrily, threw away the meat and bones in his hand, and shouted: "There are three pounds of bones in five pounds of meat. This shopkeeper has really darkened his conscience!"
Yu Ye was neither angry nor annoyed, and walked slowly to the street.
Senior Brother Leng thought that the food and drinks in the mountain shop were cheap, so he wanted to be a host. Unexpectedly, he was blackmailed into taking away two spiritual stones, which really hurt his heart.
The so-called street is nothing more than a gravel road. The houses along the roadside are wine shops, shops, and inns. There are also groups of monks coming and going, probably unable to find a place to stay and having to wander the streets.
The afternoon sun was still dazzling.
A few cicadas chirped in the wind, adding a bit of heat and uneasiness to the chaotic town.
"I have been practicing Buddhism for hundreds of years, and to be bullied by a humble man from the countryside is really a shame and a great humiliation..."
Leng Chen was furious and still yelled.
Yu Ye looked up at the sky and then at the smiling faces of the onlookers around him. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and hurriedly pulled Leng Chen's sleeves.
As a monk, you can rest anywhere. Since the inn is full, just find a cool place to sleep outdoors.
Yu Ye rushed out of the town.
Leng Chen didn't follow him. Instead, he gathered a few monks to go to the wine shop owner to ask for an explanation.
Although the shopkeeper is an ordinary and reckless man, he is protected by the Immortal Sect and is not afraid of the monks from outside at all. He wields a sharp knife and goes to great lengths.
Leng Chen and several monks were caught off guard, and they didn't dare to hurt anyone, so they had no choice but to run away...
