Yunzhou is the highest state among the nineteen states in the world. It is rich in Yun brocade and is also known as the State of Splendid Brocade.
Cangqiong Mountain is located in the northernmost part of Yunzhou, surrounded by mountains and mountains, like stars holding the moon.
Arriving at Yunzhou, Chu Xiu immediately saw the towering Cang Qiong Mountain that reached into the sky.
There's no way, it's just too tall and too big.
Chen Changsheng and Chu Xiu landed in a valley near Cangqiong Mountain.
"This is your first time here, so you should keep your feet on the ground and climb the mountain step by step." Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
"Okay." Chu Xiu nodded.
The two walked side by side.
Although Chen Changsheng is nearly two thousand years old, at this moment, he looks younger than Chu Xiu. The two of them walking together are like two young masters traveling together.
The only thing that wasn't beautiful was probably that Chu Xiu was only wearing a white dark coat.
"How much do you know about the Nineteen States?"
On the way, Chen Changsheng asked softly.
"Nineteen Prefectures..." Chu Xiu paused, shook his head and said, "I don't know much about it. Even in Shu Prefecture, I haven't been to a few places."
This is a fact.
Before the age of twelve, he only knew how to study hard in the cold window.
After the age of twelve, in addition to traveling to some mountains and rivers with the sweeping monk Yiming, and after becoming a disciple of the wine Taoist, he basically lived in the Jade Cauldron Temple.
That is to say, recently, he went from Shuzhou to Lingzhou, and then from Lingzhou to Chang'an City in the middle of the country, which gave him a preliminary glimpse of the customs and customs of this world.
"The Nineteen Prefectures are vast and there are many magical places." Chen Changsheng said, "For example, we went to Qingmingyuan together some time ago."
"Qingmingyuan..." The poisonous miasma center at the bottom of Qingmingyuan appeared in Chu Xiu's mind. It was indeed unusually magical and could actually give birth to a flaming lotus.
Chen Changsheng said: "It is a place where all poisons gather, but it can nourish magical medicine that can only be found in legends."
"It's indeed magical." Chu Xiu sighed, especially that ball of green fire, which has become Chu Xiu's biggest trump card now.
"There is a sinkhole there." Chen Changsheng said, "If you could get to the bottom of that sinkhole, you might be able to discover something even more magical."
Then he added: "Of course, the most likely possibility is that he will be poisoned or suffocated to death halfway."
Chu Xiu chuckled, and then asked curiously: "What is in that poisonous pit?"
"Well~, all the poisons gather there. It is one of the most dangerous places in this world, and it is also one of the weakest places."
"What do you mean by weak?" Chu Xiuchi asked.
Chen Changsheng did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you know why I accepted twelve disciples?"
"Um...counting me, there should be thirteen disciples." Chu Xiu corrected.
Chen Changsheng hummed and said, "You were just an accident."
Chu Xiu curled his lips and muttered: "I defeated you by accident."
A light yellow short stick suddenly appeared in Chen Changsheng's hand.
Chu Xiu immediately changed his words and said: "Master must have wanted to say that there are twelve places like Qingmingyuan in the nineteen states in the world."
"Huh? Did you guess it?" Chen Changsheng was surprised and couldn't help but glance at Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu smiled and said: "As the number one in the Nineteen States, you naturally shoulder the responsibility of guarding the Nineteen States. In the past two thousand years, every disciple you have accepted has been responsible for guarding a magical place."
"Can you guess this?" Chen Changsheng was shocked.
Chu Xiu complained: "This is the usual old routine."
Chen Changsheng's face twitched slightly.
The same old routine?
This kid really deserves a beating!
"You guessed it right. There are twelve states in the world like Qingmingyuan, out of the nineteen states in the world." Chen Changsheng said in a muffled voice. Suddenly his interest waned and he didn't want to talk anymore.
He and his disciples' continuous protection suddenly became an 'old routine' in this boy's words, which made him very upset.
Chu Xiu looked at the huge mountain peaks shrouded in clouds and mist in the distance in front of him, and said as if he had some realization: "Cangqiong Mountain is also one of them."
"That's right." Chen Changsheng nodded, "You can see the clouds in the sky."
"What...is there in the clouds?" Chu Xiu was curious. He remembered what Chen Changsheng had said to him before, to give him one last chance.
"Whatever should be in the clouds will naturally be there." Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
Chu Xiu curled his lips.
The two came to the foot of Cangqiong Mountain.
Chen Changsheng raised his eyes and looked upward, "In the past, no one could reach the top of the sky alone with the strength of the second realm."
"Really?" Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "It seems that I will break this record."
As he said that, he said with a regretful expression: "It's a pity that I'm late. I wish I could have come here when I was still in the first realm."
Chen Changsheng looked sideways at Chu Xiu and sneered: "Do you think the top of the sky is so easy to climb?"
"It's challenging, that's better." Chu Xiu said leisurely.
Chen Changsheng was a little frustrated.
This kid is crazier than him!
The key is that he has crazy capital.
He knew very well that with this boy's strength, reaching the top of the sky was just a matter of speed.
"You have a senior brother who climbed to the top of the sky for the first time in less than an hour." Chen Changsheng said quietly. After speaking, the figure flew up and disappeared from Chu Xiu's sight in an instant.
"Less than an hour?"
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows lightly and whispered, "Then he must not have looked at the scenery along the way.
Man, too fast is not necessarily a good thing. "
When he climbed Cangqiong Mountain for the first time, he didn't want to go too fast. He wanted to experience the artistic conception of "just being in this mountain".
Cangqiong Mountain is very big, with the foot of the mountain covering hundreds of miles.
Chu Xiu did not climb the mountain immediately, but walked around at the foot of the mountain first.
He chose a gentler slope and climbed up the mountain.
It was early summer, and the mountains were full of lush greenery.
While climbing the mountain, Chu Xiu admired the lush vegetation around him, smelled the freshness in the air, and felt happier.
"It would be even better if there is a beauty accompanying us."
Chu Xiu whispered.
Unconsciously, there seemed to be many more people in his life.
Once upon a time, he basically did everything alone.
At that time, I didn’t know many people and I didn’t feel lonely.
Now, thinking about traveling with a beautiful woman, it must be a different feeling.
The top of the sky.
Lightning and thunder were everywhere in the lingering clouds and mist.
Chen Changsheng stood on the top of the peak, looked up, and saw a vague figure, hanging in the clouds and mist.
"Little Eleven." Chen Changsheng called.
The figure bathed in the clouds and mist looked back. He was startled for a moment, then looked carefully, his face gradually showed joy, and he immediately flashed over and landed in front of Chen Changsheng.
"Master, why are you here?"
The man was naked from the waist up, his left arm was empty, and there was a long sheathed sword on his back.
Yan Shiyi.
Zhuque Academy, Mr. Eleven.
"How?" Chen Changsheng asked with a smile.
Yan Shiyi grinned and said: "This disciple has realized the Thunder Sword Intent."
Chen Changsheng looked at this disciple and said happily: "Not bad."
"Master, your surname is Chen now?" Yan Shiyi asked with a smile.
Chen Changsheng was speechless for a moment, not really wanting to answer this question.
"I have accepted another disciple." Chen Changsheng said.
Yan Shiyi was slightly startled.
Accepted another disciple?
"What do you mean, Master?" Yan Shi said hesitantly.
As far as he knew, the Master's thirteenth disciple should be the Master himself.
"There was a young man who passed the exam of Zhuque Academy and defeated me." Chen Changsheng said quietly.
Yan Shiyi's eyes widened, and his sword-like eyes were full of shock.
"It's just the first stage." Chen Changsheng added.
"This... is too unbelievable." Yan Shiyi murmured, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Will Master also lose?
How can this be?
