seaside.
There are two boats moored.
An old man is drying his fishing nets.
Several rows of thatched houses sit under the shade of trees dozens of feet away. In the distance, there are lush forests and rolling mountains.
A young man walked along the beach. He looked to be in his twenties, wearing a green monk's robe, with sharp cheeks and thick eyebrows like knives.
The old man stopped what he was doing and said, "Brother..."
"Old man!"
The man bowed his hands in greeting.
"I'm passing by here and want to ask for directions!"
The old man pulled off the cloth and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "This is the boundary of Peishui City in Weiguo. Ten miles to the north is Muhai Town, and a hundred miles further is Peishui City."
"What time of year is it now?"
"What time of year? Look at this hot day, it's already midsummer."
Midsummer is May.
"Nagging!"
The man thanked him, said goodbye and left.
The old man shook his head.
In recent years, immortal cultivators have often appeared on the beach. The young man looked like a fellow traveler, but he didn't know the road or the season.
After leaving the fishing village, there was a deserted beach a few miles away.
Yu Ye found a rock and sat down, unable to hide the tiredness on his face.
???????????????After leaving the isolated island, he flew all the way north. Unexpectedly, they encountered a storm on the way and almost lost their way. Although the two monster salamanders have wings, they can only fly a few miles across the sea. He searched alone on the sea for seven or eight days with his flying sword. When he was exhausted, he finally found the coast, and unexpectedly arrived at the border of Weiguo.
That's okay.
Just return to Qizhou.
Well, I like the pleasure of flying with a sword, and I also like the stability of being down-to-earth.
Yu Ye grinned with a look of self-deprecation on his face.
As Jiao Ying said, although foundation building is gratifying, it is just the beginning. What awaits him is still a long journey and an uncertain future.
Yu Ye turned over his hand and took out a picture slip.
Let’s not mention the difficulty of the immortal path. The top priority is to go to Nanyu City first, and then return to Yunchuan Xianmen to fulfill the promise he once made.
However, that night twelve years ago, Gao Deng and many of his fellow disciples died. To this day, it is unknown whether anyone has found the whereabouts of the overseas monks. No matter what, he will return to Nanyu City to find out the truth.
As shown on the map, Nanyu City is thousands of miles away?
As the saying goes, a slight mistake can make a thousand miles. I didn't expect to search for it at sea for a few days, but I was thousands of miles away.
Should we rest on the spot for two days and continue on our way, or should we find a teleportation array to save some energy?
Muhai Town... Peishui City...
Yu Ye looked at the picture slip and couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Thousands of miles north of Peishui City, there is Guangji Mountain, where Linggong Gate is located.
I remember there is an old friend in Linggongmen, why not drop by and pay him a visit.
Yu Ye put away the picture slip and had a dagger in his hand.
The dagger is as long as a ruler, is silver-white in color, has no edge, and is engraved with runes and talisman arrays. This is Mo Xiao's relic, and now it has become his special flying sword in the field. In addition to being used to defend against enemies, he now holds three flying swords. It's not that he lacks flying swords, but that he prefers the one-hit kill of sword energy.
The dagger was released, and the light suddenly surged. A three-foot sword light floated quietly off the ground.
Out of curiosity, he consulted Jiaoying and learned that the reason why the flying sword could fly was inseparable from the blessing of the talisman array and mana. Once he runs out of mana, the flying sword becomes useless.
Jiao Ying once briefly displayed her soul body, and has been busy practicing since then. According to her, her soul power has been restored to 30%. When she rebuilds her soul, she will dance and sing for him again.
Well, her graceful dancing and beautiful songs are still unforgettable!
A weird and mysterious woman!
Yu Ye stepped on his sword and stood up.
After a while, a city appeared among the mountains ahead.
Peishui City.
The small town is only two or three miles in radius, with a city gate and more than a hundred residents. No abnormality can be seen as far as the spiritual consciousness can reach.
Yu Ye was still in mid-air, dodged and disappeared.
A moment later, he was walking on the streets of the city.
The Divine Dragon Escape Technique is really powerful. With just a thought, it can come and go like the wind, disappearing like a ghost.
However, this escape method is really difficult to practice. It took more than ten years of hard work to master it, and it still takes a lot of hard work to truly fly to the sky and escape from the earth.
The town is old and dilapidated. There were very few pedestrians on the street. Although a few monks were found, there was no trace of the foundation-building expert.
Well, old habits die hard, and I am still wary of the existence of foundation-building monks. From now on, the foundation-building monks will no longer be an insurmountable mountain.
"The shopkeeper——"
There is a wine shop on the corner of the street, with two tables placed under the pergola in front of the door. It was probably after dinner, but there were no customers in the restaurant. There was only a middle-aged man sitting in front of the stove, dozing off. When he heard the call, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
"The shop has wine and meat, please treat me as a distinguished guest——"
Yu Ye walked to the table and sat down, ordering a jar of wine and five kilograms of braised pork.
In an instant, wine and meat were all served.
"Chief Immortal, please use it slowly——"
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to signal, turned around and sat on the stool at the next table, opened his mouth and yawned again.
From being a respected guest, he became an immortal.
Yu Ye looked at the Taoist robe on his body, picked up the wine bowl with one hand and the braised pork with the other, and started eating and drinking to his heart's content.
For twelve years, I have only eaten Bigu Dan and sea fish to satisfy my hunger. I have long forgotten the taste of fireworks and food. At this moment, it is really the aroma of wine and delicious meat.
Seeing him gobbling up the food, the shopkeeper couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, I must have been ignorant of the taste of meat for many years!"
"Oh, the shopkeeper has a good eye!"
Yu Ye did not deny it and continued to eat and drink.
The shopkeeper smiled proudly again and said: "The shop has also hosted several immortals. Although they also drank wine and ate meat, they only tasted it. It is rare to eat like you!"
"There are monks coming and going frequently in Peishui City?"
"It doesn't happen often. A few experts are rushing to Zhongshan Kingdom and happen to be passing through here. It is said that something big has happened to Qizhou Immortal Sect."
"Appreciate further details!"
"Haha, I overheard a few words while the Immortal was chatting, that's all."
A jar of wine and five pounds of braised pork were eaten.
Yu Ye sat down comfortably, ordered a few jars of wine and ten kilograms of braised pork, then dropped a piece of silver and hurried out of the city.
Something big happened to Qizhou Xianmen?
After many years, Qizhou Xianmen still has constant disputes.
After Yu Ye left the city, he stepped on his sword and flew north.
It's still early, let's go visit an old friend.
In the evening, under the dim glow, there are pavilions and houses built on the peaks ahead, which are very eye-catching among the high mountains.
That should be Guangji Mountain where Linggong Gate is located.
Yu Ye cast his sword light several miles away and sat cross-legged on the top of a hill.
After becoming a foundation-building monk, not only does one's lifespan increase, one can see farther, one's magical powers become stronger, and one can fly high and high. Isn't this a dream that I once had, and now it has finally come true, but the disputes in the Immortal Sect still exist, and there is no change in the chaotic world.
Many years have passed, and I don’t know what happened to Qizhou Xianmen.
Let's rest for one night and think about it tomorrow.
Yu Ye took out a spiritual stone and pressed it into his palm.
While he was breathing in and out, he felt helpless secretly. There were once more than two thousand spiritual stones, but now there are very few left. He himself was fine for the time being, but the two demonic salamanders couldn't live without the spirit stones...
early morning.
Yu Ye woke up from his meditation.
A night of breathing and breathing had slightly relieved his fatigue from the past few days.
Without delay, he disappeared into the glow of the rising sun.
Guangji Mountain.
Guangji Mountain is located among the mountains. The main peak is only a few hundred feet long, but it is far away from people and is in a secluded location.
Under the cover of ancient trees and beside the stone steps covered with wild grass, stands a moss-covered stone tablet with the word "Ling Gong" on it.
This should be the mountain gate of Linggong Gate, but there are no disciples guarding it.
Yu Ye came through the forest path.
His spiritual consciousness now reaches two thousand feet. Even if the mountains and forests block it, he can see miles away, but he still hasn't found a single figure.
You're not looking for the wrong place, are you?
Let’s go to the mountains and have a look.
Since it is not convenient to barge in with a sword for a visit, it is also the proper etiquette to walk up the stairs.
Yu Ye lifted up the hem of his clothes and slowly stepped onto the stone stairs.
Just as he crossed the stone monument, there was a sudden flash of light.
At this moment, a scream came from the dense mountain forest——
"Mortals are not allowed to enter the forbidden area of the Immortal Gate!"
Instead, Yu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps back, raised his hand and said: "Yunchuan Sect Yu Ye, come to visit Master Yu!"
There was sudden silence all around.
A moment later, four figures suddenly rushed down the mountain. In an instant, they arrived in front of the mountain gate. They were an old man with foundation-building cultivation and three Qi-refining disciples. The two of them were no strangers, I remember they were called Shang Gong and Shang Jiang, but they both had sullen faces, as if they were not to be approached by strangers.
Yu Ye arched his hands.
But before he could say anything, the old man actually showed his flying sword and raised his voice: "Yu Ye has no friendship or connection with the master of my family. I won't welcome you. Please come back, my fellow Taoist!"
???????????????Yu Ye said hurriedly: "I have no ill intentions, I just came to pay a visit to express my gratitude because I owe the sect master a favor. He..."
"shut up!"
The old man interrupted: "You, younger generation, don't talk nonsense. If you don't leave, don't blame me for turning against you!"
"Two fellow Taoists, Shang Gong and Shang Jiang——"
Yu Ye had no choice but to bow his hands to Shang Gong and Shang Jiang and said: "Please tell the commander that an old friend is visiting..."
"snort!"
Shang Gong snorted.
Shang Jiang simply turned his head and looked away, ignoring him at all.
Hey, I spent many days together in Queming Town in Tianming Mountain, and bought hundreds of spiritual stone talismans, but just over ten years later, I really don’t know each other anymore?
Yu Ye said in astonishment: "Two fellow Taoists..."
The old man lost his patience and shouted: "I have exhausted all my courtesy, please don't disturb my mountain gate, get out of here -"
A sharp sword light struck Yu Ye who was several feet away.
This is to drive away guests.
Yu Ye was even more stunned.
The Linggong Sect, an immortal sect that specializes in weapon refining and elixir refining, could be so arrogant and unreasonable?
Bullying!
Yu Ye suddenly became angry and refused to dodge. When the sword light came close, he raised his hand and flicked it. In an instant, the dragon's shadow flickered, and an invisible sword energy broke through the wind. It knocked away the incoming sword light with a "clang", but it was still powerful and murderous.
And the moment he unleashed his sword energy, the hidden aura on his body also came out.
The old man was shocked.
There was a loud "boom", and the stone tablet engraved with the word "Ling Gong" was blown to pieces.
As the old man dodged, he shouted: "A strong enemy is coming, activate the mountain protection formation——"
The three Qi Refining disciples were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. Among them, Shang Gong and Shang Jiang were even more horrified.
No wonder the master doesn't want to see him. He has become a foundation-building monk and is even more untouchable than when he burned Fengxiang Valley.
Yu Ye couldn't help but groan.
The old man is already a master of the fifth level of foundation building, but he can't resist his Seven Kills Sword Qi?
But when I came to visit with good intentions, I was met with such humiliation.
Who is the strong enemy?
Huh, after living for more than thirty years, he actually became a powerful enemy and became what he once hated.
Now that things have come to this, we might as well force our way through the mountain gate.
"Master Yu——"
Yu Ye shouted and forced his way up the mountain.
Just at this moment, a figure rushed down from the mountain, waving from a distance: "Oh, I thought you were dead, but you are still alive..."
