Thousands of miles east of Yuanbao Town, there is a Lingshan Mountain, Fengshan Mountain.
The map shows that there is a fairy gate here.
At noon that day, six men who looked like casual cultivators came to the foot of Fengshan Mountain. Among them were two old men, Heshan and Linghu Bei; three middle-aged men, Xun Yuan, Zhan Kun, and Yu Tianshi; and a young man in his early twenties, who was naturally Yu Ye. After the group left the seaside town, they arrived here at noon.
It can be seen that there is a white jade archway standing in front, with the four characters Fengtian Daojing on it. On the left and right stone pillars are engraved a line of writing: Eternal Lingshan rises to the true Qi, and the sun and the moon turn into immortal feathers for thousands of years.
"Fengtianmen!"
"A small fairy sect, so majestic!"
"There is no one at the mountain gate, please wait a moment——"
It was the Fengtian Gate that I was looking for, but I didn't see the disciple guarding the gate.
Zhan Kun walked to the mountain gate, cupped his hands, and said, "We would like to borrow the teleportation array, please make it convenient for us!"
After a while, I heard the sound of words——
"Where do you want to go?"
Like an echo from an empty mountain, there is still no sign of anyone.
"Fu Feng City!"
"Go right from the entrance. A hundred feet away, there is a teleportation array. Each person has fifty spiritual stones!"
"Ah...thank you!"
Zhan Kun thanked them, winked at everyone, then stepped onto the stone stairs one after another, passed through the mountain gate, and followed the path to the right. Heshan, Linghu Bei and Xun Yuan looked around, secretly curious.
Although the mountain gate looks impressive, there is no one guarding it. It must be a small sect with not so many rules. However, it costs fifty spiritual stones to teleport one person, which is quite expensive.
Yu Ye and Yu Tianshi followed,
After turning around a forest, a stone platform appeared in front of me. There was a middle-aged man sitting on the stage. He seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He pointed to the stone box beside him and urged: "Three hundred spiritual stones!"
"hehe!"
Zhan Kun smiled and wanted to make a joke. Just to borrow the teleportation array, six people need three hundred spirit stones. Although this fairy sect is small, it is good at making money. But before he could say anything, his expression became condensed.
The middle-aged man is actually a master of the third level of Jindan?
Zhan Kun was secretly startled, hurriedly took a few steps forward, obediently took out the spirit stone and put it into the stone box.
Linghu Bei, Heshan and Xun Yuan did not dare to show off, so they each raised their hands in salute.
Yu Tianshi and Yu Ye shook their heads.
The disciples guarding the teleportation array are all Jindan cultivators. What kind of small fairy sect is this?
"Fu Feng City is far apart, teleport two people at once!"
The middle-aged man said without any doubt.
Zhan Kun and Linghu Bei stepped onto the stone steps and walked into the formation first. As the light exploded, the two people disappeared. Heshan and Xun Yuan then teleported, followed by Yu Ye and Yu Tianshi.
When the light of the formation flickered again, a middle-aged man suddenly said: "You are not casual cultivators——"
Yu Ye couldn't think too much, he only felt a powerful force suddenly swallowing him up. He and Yu Tianshi fell into nothingness for an instant, and the light suddenly burst out and the wind howled...
After a while.
The six people gathered together again, but hid behind a stone wall and whispered——
"Does that person see that you and I are not casual cultivators?"
"Oh, casual cultivators don't have much money. How to take out three hundred spiritual stones and pay for others is obviously a flaw."
"Not only that, someone just asked me and Brother Yu if they were from overseas, but we both denied it."
"Hey, you didn't ask us about our origins. Could it be that Yu Ye looks young, which arouses suspicion?"
"Let's talk somewhere else, let's go——"
The six people dispersed and left in a hurry.
Leaving the courtyard where the teleportation array is located, there is a wide street with an endless stream of pedestrians, carriages and horses, and monks in various costumes can be seen everywhere. Both sides of the street are lined with pavilions and houses and shops. In the distance, the city outline stretches, creating a spectacular and prosperous scene.
This place is Fufeng City, and it is also the county seat that governs the entire Fufeng County.
Yu Ye and Yu Tianshi were walking on the bustling street, not at all excited or curious. Instead, they looked back and forth, uneasy.
On his first trip to Yanzhou, flaws were revealed.
In addition, the disciples guarding the teleportation array were actually inquiring about overseas monks, perhaps related to Lai Mian of the Lai brothers.
A restaurant is full of diners.
Yu Ye and Yu Tianshi walked into the wine shop and ordered a jar of wine and two plates of food. While the two were eating and drinking, Heshan and Linghu Bei, Zhan Kun and Xun Yuan also walked in one after another, and sat down at the next table respectively. They pretended not to know each other, but secretly communicated with each other——
"Everyone, how is the situation?"
"Nothing unusual was seen on the way."
"Haha, destroying Buyeo Island and killing Laitai are no small feats. It is inevitable that you and I will be frightened!"
"No, the Lai brothers have contacts with the immortal sects and families in Yanzhou, so don't be careless!"
"Brother Yu?"
"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. We'll talk about it later..."
After everyone finished eating and drinking, they still left separately, but they did not dare to wander around the city, but returned the same way.
Yu Ye and Yu Tianshi arrived at the previous courtyard, chose another teleportation array, took out one hundred and fifty spiritual stones each, and teleported away...
Just after the two of them left, a middle-aged man walked out of the adjacent formation.
This man was wearing a black robe, dressed like a monk, with a square face and a short beard. His figure and appearance were ordinary, but his narrow eyes revealed a faint coldness.
He walked out of the yard like a hawk looking at a wolf, waved his sleeves and jumped into the air.
The tall building in the city is where the city lord's residence is located.
The man flew straight to the tall building and landed in a courtyard by a familiar route.
The wide courtyard is shaded by trees, filled with flowers and fish swimming in the pond, making it quiet and elegant.
At the same time, an old man appeared on the pavilion by the pool and said dissatisfiedly: "Fellow Taoist Lai Mian, you have sent a letter before and you came to visit in person today. Could it be that you can't trust Ban?"
"City Lord Ban!"
The lord of Fufeng City, Ban Ling, looks like a wealthy man in his fifties or sixties, with well-dressed clothes, neat beard and hair, and a rosy complexion.
Lai Mian walked up to the pavilion and said indifferently: "Although the letter is fast, it has a lot of inconveniences. I have gone to Shanggu, Jiangxia, and Hongnong counties successively, and I just arrived in Fufeng today, just to report to Ban City Lord face to face."
"hehe!"
Ban Ling's eyes flashed, he twitched his beard and said with a smile: "I'm serious, you and I are just doing business!"
"This matter is related to business!"
"Oh? Please sit down——"
The pavilion is covered with straw mats, futons and wooden tables.
The two sat opposite each other.
"After I received the letter, I told my disciples to pay more attention, but no overseas monks were found. What happened to your Buyeo Island?"
"A group of overseas monks looted the Yangkong Mountain on Buyeo Island, killed Lai Tai, and stole the accounts of the elixir trade. Now they have fled to Yanzhou."
"ah……"
Ban Ling's face changed slightly.
"What will be the consequences if the accounts are leaked?"
Lai Mian's expression remained the same, but his words were compelling.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter to you, but Ban's reputation will definitely be damaged, and Yanzhou Immortalism will also cause an uproar. You...why are your two brothers so careless?"
"It's not that my brother was careless, but the trouble was caused by a Taoist fellow from the Tianji Sect whom I knew in the past."
"Who is that person?"
"Birch, his soul was devoured by someone, and his soul has long since disappeared."
"Hey, these overseas monks are so vicious. Do you know their specific origins, names, and do they have any characteristics?"
"A group of monks from Qizhou. The leader is named Yu. He is young in appearance and cultivated in Jindan. He raises two four-winged giant beasts and drives a purple flying sword."
Ban Ling nodded and said, "I will immediately send people to various counties and Tianjimen to ask for help from a few old friends." He suddenly looked at Lai Mian again.
, his rosy face actually revealed a coldness, and he said in a deep voice: "This matter must not be made public, otherwise there will no longer be a place for you to stay in the eighteen counties of the nine directions!"
The moon is bright and the wind is clear.
Six figures came through the forest.
There is a piece of grassland in the forest, which is very secluded.
An old man raised his hand and said, "Everyone, stay here for one night -"
Linghu North.
The five companions traveling with him were Heshan, Xun Yuan, Zhan Kun, Yu Ye and Yu Tianshi.
Everyone fell down, their expressions were relaxed, and when they recalled the day's itinerary, they were filled with emotion.
Starting in the early morning, he kept moving between teleportation formations in various places. After running around for a whole day, he finally arrived at the junction of Fufeng County and Yunxia County in the evening. Even though they traveled more than 200,000 miles in one day, each person consumed hundreds of spiritual stones. The cost of borrowing the teleportation array in Yanzhou was so high that even Linghu Bei and Xun Yuan felt sick.
Each has a rich family and no shortage of spiritual stones, but they are afraid of revealing their whereabouts and causing unreasonable disasters. So the six people went on their way in batches, and then met at the agreed place.
A frightened bird is nothing more than this.
"Yu Ye, what evidence do you have for Lai Mian to trace our whereabouts?"
"Lai Mian is just a casual cultivator. He is a thief who does evil. How can the immortal sects and families from all over the world be willing to be driven and used by him?"
"Brother Yu, you might as well tell the truth. Hiding around like this is definitely not a long-term solution!"
Today's long journey is more like an escape, and the reason is that a flaw was exposed at Fengtianmen, Fufeng City was questioned about its origins, and then Yu Ye mentioned Lai Mian. All kinds of ominous omens made people panic.
Yu Ye didn't say much and took out a jade slip.
Linghu Bei took the jade slip and was slightly surprised. Then everyone circulated it and they were also in disbelief.
"The bill for selling the elixir?"
"The elixirs used by immortal sects and families from all over the world to create elixirs, create babies, and transform gods into gods actually come from the Lai brothers..."
"This is unreasonable! The Immortal Sect is a place for preaching. It is supposed to cultivate oneself and help the world, but it colludes with pirates to kill people and make elixirs. Where is the justice and justice?"
"I originally thought that Yanzhou is a paradise for immortality. Who wants to harbor filth and dirt? Are you and I just hiding behind the scenes and destroying our future?"
Witnessing the evidence of the Lai brothers' collusion with the Xianmen with their own eyes, Linghu Bei, Heshan, Xunyuan, and Zhan Kun were all filled with indignation.
Yuye declined to comment.
Next to him, Master Yu Tian took out a wine jar and several wine bowls. When he left Fufeng City, he did not forget to buy a few jars of local wine.
After everyone was angry, they suddenly became quiet. They each picked up a bowl of wine and silently tasted the spiciness and bitterness of the wine. Even Hemlock drank a bowl of wine and couldn't let go of his gloomy mood.
Yanzhou is not a paradise for immortality. Its chaos is far worse than that in Qizhou. And after all the hardships, do you retreat and give up when you face difficulties, or do you go against the current and move forward persistently?
After a while, Linghu Bei breathed out the breath of wine and said: "The strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak. Natural selection competes with others, and you must be independent!"
Heshan and Xunyuan nodded slightly, looking deeply convinced.
Zhan Kun picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Haha, although the road is narrow, it can't be achieved if you can't do it. Drink this wine together, you and I can encourage each other -"
Yu Tianshi echoed: "If you keep on walking, you can look forward to the future. Let's drink together——"
Yu Ye also raised the wine bowl in his hand, only to see the bright moon in the sky reflected in the wine. The water, light and moonlight flickered, as if waves were about to rise...
