From a distance, you can see a stretch of green mountains surrounding it, with green pines and tall trees reaching into the sky, clouds rolling like the sea, and the setting sun in the west integrating with the green mountains and complementing each other, making it look like a painting.
On top of a high peak stands a magnificent palace, majestic and majestic, as tall and majestic as a mountain, with human figures moving about in it and swords soaring to the sky.
This is where Qingyang Gate is located.
The world is divided into nine states, and Qingyangmen is close to the fertile Central Plains. It is located at the junction of Henan and Xuzhou, looking towards Kunlun in the north.
In the past two hundred years, the Qingyang Sect's divine passage method has been developing rapidly, and its comprehensive strength has been advancing by leaps and bounds. It has become an impressive force, giving people the feeling of coming from behind, as if it is about to be replaced by the Kunlun Sect.
But it just gives people this feeling. For thousands of years, all the immortal sects in the world have respected Kunlun. This situation has never been broken. It is precisely because of this that the Qingyang Sect looks at the fertile Central Plains - the land of Yuzhou, and has always just stood there. Above the edge, don't dare to touch it.
You know, among the nine states, Yuzhou is the richest. Whether it is wealth land or cultivation resources, Yuzhou is an extremely precious land. However, many people in the world of immortality cannot figure it out. They don't understand why the Kunlun Sect would leave Yuzhou alone. This precious land was not wanted, but the sect was established at the junction of the four states of Henan, Qing, Yan and Hebei.
Although the Qingyang Sect wanted to get involved in Yuzhou, they were worried about the existence of the Kunlun Sect, so they could only establish the site of the sect at the junction of Yuzhou and Xuzhou. It was obvious that the next step would be Yuzhou, but they could only guard it. That semi-embarrassing position, but Yuzhou, the most fertile and rich in spiritual resources, has been ignored by no one for thousands of years.
After traveling for three consecutive days, Gu Chen and Xu Mushan were finally brought to Qingyang Gate by Qingyangzi.
The six enlarged version of the steamed buns prepared by Zhang Dashan for Gu Chen were also eaten by Gu Chen and Xu Muchan on the second day.
Without the buns, in order to avoid the pain of hunger, both Gu Chen and Xu Mushan took Bigu Pills. However, sometimes Gu Chen couldn't help but look at Xu Mushan, thinking that if he hadn't shared them with her, the six buns would have been there by now. Just enough to finish.
Xu Mushan lowered her head, her face a little red, wondering why Gu Chen kept looking at her, and for a moment she couldn't help but feel nervous and concerned.
Qingyangzi led them to the Qingyangmen martial arts dojo, and all the sword lights suddenly stopped. All the Qingyang disciples looked at the person who came. After seeing clearly, their eyes shone with light, with awe, admiration, and admiration... ...Then everyone quickly gathered together.
"Meet Elder Qingyang!"
Their voices were uniform, loud and clear, making the air seem to vibrate.
Xu Mushan lowered her head, feeling that this kind of momentum was so terrifying. She had never seen it before in Xuanmumen.
Qingyangzi raised his hand in vain, and then led Gu Chen and Xu Mushan inside.
A group of Qingyang Sect disciples dispersed to the left and right, getting out of the way, but they all looked at the two young men and women brought back by Qingyangzi with curiosity.
The woman is beautiful and cute, but the man... what is he wearing?
Gu Chen looked around as he walked and felt that the Qingyang Sect was very different from the Kunlun Sect, at least in terms of these glorious palaces.
The Kunlun Sect has only one palace, built on the main peak, which is where the elders hold meetings.
Outside the palace is a martial arts arena, a dojo used for disciples to practice and practice. Then there are mountain peaks connected one after another. Behind the main peak, each cave is dug by the disciples themselves.
If compared with the Qingyang Sect, the Kunlun Sect, the largest sect in the world, seems a bit too simple, even shabby.
The palaces of Qingyang Gate are all very grand and magnificent, and the palaces are so continuous that you can't see the end at a glance. After passing this mountain peak, there is another mountain peak.
However, the martial arts dojo in front of the mountain gate was quite similar to the Kunlun sect. Only this point made Gu Chen feel a little familiar. As for the many people whose eyes fell on him from time to time, he didn't pay much attention to them and didn't even look at them. One glance.
What was different from him was that Xu Mushan kept her head lowered and kept silent. Judging from her steps, she seemed a little embarrassed.
"Brother, you are back!"
A woman came up to her. She was wearing colorful clothes. She looked very dazzling. There were flashes of light from time to time on the colorful clothes. Gu Chen took one look and felt that there was something bright and looked away.
"Junior sister, how are you doing lately?"
When Qingyangzi saw the visitor, he smiled and said hello gently.
"Senior brother, you have been gone for more than fifty years, and I thought you didn't want to come back! These two children are..."
The woman's words were full of joy and anger, and she seemed to have a coquettish feeling when she spoke, as if there was a hint of coquettishness. However, Gu Chen felt that the woman's words were far worse than Yun Zhi's cold snort.
Qingyangzi took Xu Mushan a few steps forward and said, "I went to Liangzhou to pick up this child from the master of Xuanmu Sect. Her name is Xu Mushan. I think she has good qualifications and want to choose her among the sects." A good teacher, after much deliberation, the most suitable one is you, junior sister."
Xuanmu door?
The woman raised her brows slightly, hiding a flicker of confusion, and looked at Xu Mushan. She had never heard of the Xuanmu Sect.
Xu Mushan was already a little embarrassed. After hearing Qingyangzi's words, he seemed to want to hand her over to the woman in front of him. He raised his head in a panic, glanced hastily, and then lowered his head again. For a moment, Somewhat overwhelmed.
"Xu Mushan, this is my junior sister Ai Ling. She is an elder in the sect with me. Her cultivation level is not inferior to mine. She is the good teacher I want to recommend to you. But does she want to accept you as her disciple? It depends on how you perform.”
Ai Ling said shyly and happily: "Senior brother, what are you talking about? What does it mean that the cultivation level is not inferior to yours? Are you laughing at me? Since this child is the disciple that senior brother has found for me, I will accept it, junior sister. That is, I think senior brother will never mislead me."
Turning to look at Xu Mushan, his tone became majestic but gentle, and said: "Xu Mushan, are you willing to accept me as your teacher?"
Xu Mushan didn't know how to react for a moment, and looked at Gu Chen at a loss, but she saw that Gu Chen was still calm and composed, and it had nothing to do with him. She suddenly felt aggrieved, and looked at Qingyangzi again, only to see Qingyangzi He gave her an encouraging look.
The Xuanmu Sect is simply incomparable to the Qingyang Clan. Even though she is the daughter of the Xuanmu Sect’s sect master and her status seems to be good, she is not as good as an ordinary disciple of the Qingyang Clan who can enter the Qingyang Clan. , and being able to become the disciple of the elder was something she had never expected, and how could such a great good thing happen to her so easily?
After all, she was just a thirteen-year-old girl. She was a little nervous when she first came to a strange place, and now she was even more at a loss. She just kept nodding but couldn't make a sound.
Ai Ling smiled softly, flicked her fingers, and a coolness melted into Xu Mushan's body. Xu Mushan felt that she had completely calmed down all of a sudden.
Ai Ling said: "There is no need to be nervous. Your qualifications are indeed good. I think you already have some practice foundation. However, if you join our sect, you will no longer be able to practice your past skills. You don't have to regret it. You will get more." With good skills, you can go further on the road to immortality."
Xu Mushan quickly knelt down and kowtowed, bowing to her master and saying, "Thank you, master."
Ai Ling couldn't help but laugh and said: "The girl who was calm just now suddenly became smarter. But you have come early for this ceremony of apprenticeship. I'm afraid you will have to do it again after you go back."
Xu Mushan blushed for a moment and didn't know where to place her hands.
Ai Ling did not continue to trouble her, but looked at Gu Chen and asked, "Senior brother, who is this child your precious disciple for?"
Qingyangzi chuckled and said, "I won't give this piece of jade to anyone, I'd better keep it for myself."
Ai Ling was immediately surprised and said in disbelief: "Senior brother, do you want to accept a disciple?"
Qingyangzi nodded and said, "Yes, this child is destined to me."
Ai Ling couldn't help but look at Gu Chen carefully, ignoring the clothes. Gu Chen had a good face, but he looked a little weak and seemed to be injured.
But this kind of injury is nothing to them. A pill should be enough to heal it. The problem is that this child has to be his senior brother's disciple...
Ai Ling's expression suddenly became complicated.
