For such a long story, Cai Pingshu actually wanted to teach young Cai Zhao about the topography of Jiuli Mountain.
The main peak of Jiuli Mountain used to be called Chaitian Peak. As the name suggests, it is very high. It is said that no one has been able to climb the top of the mountain. It is the same as the abyss Cai Zhao passed through just now. Any master who is determined to climb Chaantian Peak will climb it. They both never came back.
Not only is Tiantian Peak covered with snow all year round, but because the snow has been covered for so long, it has turned into solid ice that is difficult to break with any weapon, and the creatures that died on it are constantly wrapped in the ice. Theoretically, there should be no traps in the Tiantian Peak. The scariest thing about it is its high, endless height.
According to a senior climber who couldn't help but escape halfway, he climbed day after day and spent every day in the biting and unbearable cold. For three full months, it was so cold that he almost thought he was Already dead, the initial fighting spirit has disappeared in the howling cold wind. The front seems to be endless, the clear blue sky is right in front of you, but no matter how hard you climb, you can't reach the top.
After all, humans are mortal bodies and cannot live without food or drink. There are no vegetation or animals on Changtian Peak, so climbers can only bring their own dry food, but they cannot bring too much, because over time the dry food will freeze and turn into The gravel-like ice is not only difficult to satisfy your hunger, but also can easily make you sick if you eat it for a long time.
Those climbers who die on the mountain are often people with outstanding willpower and will never give up until they achieve their goals. When the dry food was exhausted or was about to be exhausted, they would either freeze and starve to death on the way back, or they would simply continue forward and die in front.
There are many people like this senior who are discouraged and despairing and give up halfway.
According to Ning Xiaofeng, there is no mountain in the world that cannot be climbed to the top. There must be a formation on the Tiantian Peak that is similar to the ghost wall. However, this formation was probably set up by the immortals in ancient times. It is extremely clever. Extraordinary people can break it.
In view of the fact that many senior experts who were proficient in formations died on the mountain, Ning Xiaofeng was just enjoying it and had no intention of challenging the limit.
Cai Pingshu often told Cai Zhao that Qingque Sect is one of the best places in the world that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is the reason.
Muwei Palace, the main residence of Qingque Sect, faces south, facing Fengyunding, with Chatian Peak at its back. In front of it is the bottomless abyss, and behind it is the Tongtian Snow Ridge. As long as the iron rope is closed, no matter how powerful the opponent is, he can't get through. Come.
What makes the enemies gnash their teeth the most is that the top of Tiantian Peak is cold and dead, but the place where Muwei Palace is below is like spring all year round. There are sweet springs made of ice and snow above, and there are mountains, forests, orchards, meadows and small streams below. The remaining wheat fields, rice ridges and vegetable gardens and breeding farms, fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks and fish, are rich in variety and taste - in short, sleep will not kill Mu Weigong.
Relying on this unique terrain, when the Demon Sect was at its peak, the Qingque Sect withstood numerous encirclement and suppression attacks, and was finally able to counterattack and win.
Every time during an encirclement and suppression, the Demon Sect's favorite shout is, 'If the turtle grandson of the Qingque Sect has the guts, come down', while the disciples of the Qingque Sect would honestly and unceremoniously reciprocate, 'If the devil's bastard has the guts, come up'... …The cycle of retribution and retribution continues to this day.
There was also a demon sect who was full of research spirit and had an idea. He came up with a way to use poisonous gas to attack. He lit a raging fire on the top of Fengyunding, and used the rising heat to disperse the poisonous smoke to Muwei Palace.
Then, the poisonous smoke was blocked by the clouds lingering between the two cliffs. If the mountain wind blows again, the poisonous smoke will flow back to the people of the Demon Sect, and the gains will be lost.
You ask, it doesn’t matter if the mountain wind blows away the clouds and mist. It’s obvious that the mountain wind usually blows here and there, so why does it only blow in the direction of Fengyunding when it encounters poisonous smoke?
...No one knows, maybe this is the miraculous work of nature.
Anyway, when Cai Zhao stood on the top of Fengyunding, her sight was blocked by thick clouds and fog, and she couldn't see clearly whether the Wanshui Qianshan Cliff opposite was round or flat. But when she stood on the Wanshui Qianshan Cliff and looked back at Fengyunding, she was surprised to find There was only a faint layer of mist floating above the abyss, and she could clearly see what the people on top of the wind and clouds on the opposite side were doing.
Well, nature is really amazing.
Breaking off a pretty peach blossom with its neck akimbo from the side of the clear stream, Cai Zhao wandered toward the forest where the fruity fragrance spread. It was already dinner time. She stopped under a tall fruit tree and looked at several plump fruits hanging on the branches for a while. The fragrant and hot Sauce Pork, Shaomai, Seafood Risotto, and Eels fried on both sides were like a revolving door. passed through her mind.
Cai Zhao considers himself a low-key gourmet and refuses to deal with such an unfashionable lunch. So she turned around and decided to give the Qingque Sect another chance. Maybe the sect's cooks were very skilled.
The hunger in her belly became more intense, so she quickened her pace. As she walked through the orchard, she suddenly heard noisy voices coming from the side, including a high-pitched and urgent girl's voice.
Chapter 5
Cai Zhao sighed slightly.
Why doesn't she want to travel around the world? Because bullying of the weak always happens in the world, and as a chivalrous person, she won't turn a blind eye. It's better to hide in Luoying Town so that she can't be out of sight and out of mind.
But now that she is out, how can she stand idly by while hearing about the suffering of a weak woman? So she immediately turned around and followed the sound.
Turning around a dark green mountain col, there was indeed a group of young men dressed as disciples of the sect, laughing and laughing without knowing what they were doing. They forced a tall, thin young man to the mountain wall and kept shouting.
A beautiful girl in an apricot shirt standing at the front seemed to be their leader, and she said sharply: "... If you are sensible, just be obedient. We will not kill you, but we will only break some of your flesh!"
Cai Zhao was stunned and thought that it was not a helpless girl being bullied.
A sharp-faced boy was shouting at the side: "That's right! Chang Ning, you are the one who deserves to die. If Master hadn't tried his best to save you, you would have died long ago!"
Another square-cheeked young man said sadly: "You survived, but you ate the Snow Lotus Pill that Master was going to give to Senior Sister, which caused her cultivation to be damaged. You can tell yourself whether you deserve death!" "
The surrounding teenagers were cheering together: "Be good and let us get a bowl of heart blood and let you go...haha, or we will cramp and skin you..."
The tall and thin young man named Chang Ning turned slightly sideways: "Who on earth said that my heart's blood has the same effect as Snow Lotus Pill?" His clothes were dim and old, but his tone was calm, even though his voice was hoarse, as if He was seriously injured.
"You all know that I was not only injured, but also poisoned by a strange poison. Do you really want the blood of a person like me who has not yet cleared up the poison?" Chang Ning turned around, revealing a face covered with poisonous sores. There were hard black scars from the sores, but pus was still leaking out in some places, which was really disgusting.
All the young men showed expressions of disgust.
"You are not doing this for my sake at all, you are just trying to bring bad luck to me." Chang Ning faced everyone, with a pair of eyes as clear and beautiful as the bright moon on his terrifying and disgusting face.
"I will definitely not obey your orders. If you can, take my life and be done with it. Otherwise, I will definitely repay you many times over."
Several teenagers felt like shrinking back.
"Hey, this kid is the son of the sect master's friend. If the sect master finds out, we..."
"Let's forget it. We are outer disciples after all. What if the sect master drives us away in anger?"
"Sister, what should we do if the sect leader punishes us?"
The beautiful girl bit her lip: "He caused me to lag behind in my cultivation. Even if I don't take his heart, I can't let this kid go easily. Well... let's, let's beat him up. If my father asks, I insist that this is a sparring match between brothers! We martial arts practitioners should not complain after receiving a few blows, and my father will not punish us for this!"
This idea obviously has a much lower risk factor, and the teenagers all agreed. Just as they were gearing up to move towards the boy, a leisurely and slow girl's voice suddenly sounded from behind them - "Have you had enough trouble?"
Everyone was startled and turned around, only to see a young girl wearing a flowing silk embroidered skirt standing quietly behind them. The sunlight fell on the people through the branches and leaves of the mountain forest, making the girl look dizzy and blushing. Fair and beautiful.
"The day after tomorrow is the 200th anniversary of the death of our ancestor, and almost all the prestigious sects in the martial arts are here. If you make such a fuss and let other sects see you, won't you lose the Qingque Sect's face?" She was a little helpless.
——I thought it was a group of people bullying a girl, but who knew it was a girl leading a group of people bullying another person? It was really a waste of her righteousness.
When the two beauties met, jealousy arose spontaneously. The beautiful girl led the crowd and said loudly: "Where are you from, you little bitch? It has nothing to do with you how the Qingque Sect handles its disciples!" She thought Cai Zhao was Beichen Liu. There are not many disciples from other sects other than the Qingque Sect. There are only a few people in the world who can stand upright in front of the Qingque Sect.
Cai Zhao said slowly: "Of course it's none of my business, because in a few days, I will be a disciple of Sect Leader Qi. Do you think I need to protect the reputation of my own sect? At that time, I still need to protect it. Let’s call Miss Qi Senior Sister.” In terms of brain filling, this eldest lady is a perfect match for the Second Young Master of Song Dynasty just now.
Qi Lingbo was startled and looked uncertain: "You, are you from Luoying Valley...Cai Zhao?"
"Not bad." Hearing this girl keep saying "my father, my father, my father", Cai Zhao guessed that she must be the daughter of Sect Leader Qi.
Qi Lingbo thought of her father's enthusiasm for Luoying Valley and couldn't help but want to give up. However, the teenagers around her were used to being her accomplices in the past. If she gave in now, she would be scared off by Cai Zhao with just a few words. How could she have any face in front of the gang?
"Junior Sister Cai has just arrived at Wanshui Qianshanya," Qi Lingbo put on a sweet smile, "It's getting late, please go back to the guest house. You are a newbie here, and you don't know the depth of some things. Things here have nothing to do with you. Irrelevant.”
Cai Zhao raised his eyebrows: "What if I don't leave."
Qi Lingbo smiled like a flower, but his tone contained a threat: "There are only two girls under my father's family. It is time for us to get along well in the next few years. If you insist on being stubborn and ruining the friendship between us senior sisters, how can your classmates learn martial arts in the future? .”
Cai Zhao thought about it seriously: "It's okay. I don't like to learn martial arts anyway. My parents never taught me martial arts. From now on, my senior sister will be responsible for practicing martial arts on her own. I will just read and watch the scenery."
"If you don't like learning martial arts, then why are you doing it?" Qi Lingbo's smile froze.
"Come to be my master, I want to be your master's disciple." Cai Zhao was exhausted from explaining.
"If you don't learn martial arts, why would you want to take my father as your master?" Qi Lingbo couldn't think of anything else. The Qingque Sect's martial arts is the best in the world, and countless people come here to ask for advice every year.
Cai Zhao said like running water: "Senior sister said this, and the world will see that it is too utilitarian. Doesn't it matter if you learn to be virtuous? Sect Leader Qi is a sincere gentleman known in the world, and he is kind and kind - if I can learn three points, I will benefit for the rest of my life. Come on... why do all my fellow disciples think so of what I do, am I wrong?"
——For example, when the owner gave a speech at the opening of the business, did he just say that I made a lot of money to make a lot of money? Naturally, it was to benefit my neighbors and build good relationships.
The group of teenagers were all embarrassed and agreed vaguely. Qi Lingbo's face darkened: "You are so eloquent. I don't think our Qingque Sect can tolerate a great Buddha like you!"
Cai Zhao laughed when he heard this: "Senior sister is threatening me that I will be rejected by the Qingque Sect. However, it is the senior sister who has the final say on whether I can become a disciple or not?" The clerk has to listen to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper has to listen to the boss. , this young lady actually doesn’t understand this? ! Poor Uncle Qi, such a kind and amiable person, gave birth to a daughter with a bad mind.
Qi Lingbo choked.
Cai Zhao continued: "If Sect Master Qi insists on accepting me as a disciple, but Senior Sister is not willing, could it be that Sect Master Qi will listen to Senior Sister and not accept me as a disciple if Senior Sister gives the order?"
Qi Lingbo's expression was very exciting when he heard bursts of secret laughter coming from behind him.
If Song Yuzhi were here, he would definitely tell Qi Lingbo not to quarrel with Cai Zhao, or say anything, or he would be pissed to death.
Qi Lingbo said bitterly: "This kid Chang Ning has offended me. I'm going to vent my anger today. If you don't get out of the way, I, the senior sister, will never have to teach you the rules."
She had already made up her mind. Cai Zhao's martial arts skills were low anyway, so she simply slapped her a few times to vent his anger. When her father really pressed her, she bit her to death. It was the first time they met and she didn't know the depth. She just wanted to try out Cai Zhao's skills. It doesn't matter.
"Are you done talking nonsense?" Chang Ning glanced at Cai Zhao for a few times, pondered for a moment and then said, "You guys are too impatient. Now you have to teach me a lesson, and now you have to teach others a lesson. If you want to take action, do it quickly, don't delay."
Everyone looked at him angrily. Qi Lingbo smiled at Cai Zhao and said, "Look, this man is so ignorant. He has been so careless these days on thousands of rivers and mountains and cliffs. He never listens to the words of his senior brothers..."
"Besides being rude, does he have any other evil deeds?" Cai Zhao interrupted her, "If so, please tell me quickly, otherwise I will take care of this matter."
"He is so rude, and you still want to protect him?!" Qi Lingbo seemed a little surprised.
Cai Zhao felt calm in his heart: "As long as he is not a bad person and has never started trouble on his own, you should not bully him. As for whether he is polite or not, it has nothing to do with me." His aunt said, OK Doing chivalrous things and being a chivalrous person sometimes not only may not result in good rewards, but may not even lead to gratitude.
Qi Lingbo had a pair of beautiful almond eyes, which were now wide open. He gritted his teeth and said, "I think you are asking for trouble. Let's see what I do..."
She raised her right arm, turned sideways, and turned her right hand into a sword. She was about to strike Cai Zhao when a familiar exclamation came from not far away - "Ling Bo, stop! What are you doing?!" "
Cai Zhao turned around and saw that it was Zeng Building.
He took several disciples and rushed here angrily.
Cai Zhao sighed lightly in disappointment. My aunt also said that the accent is very important when traveling in the world. Even if you want to rush up and slap the other person twice, since the smoothie is here, you have to give it three points.
Keep smiling and be kind and make money.
"——Ling Bo, you are becoming more and more disobedient! I told you not to bully Chang Ning, how did you agree to everyone?! Now it's better to go even harder. Luoyinggu and his party just climbed thousands of rivers and cliffs today, don't you stop? It’s nothing more than the friendship of a landlord, but you still want to bully others! I must repay you truthfully for today’s incident, you, why don’t you leave quickly!”
Although Zeng Dalou was scolding fiercely, it was impossible to tell that Cai Zhao was secretly protecting Qi Lingbo.
It's a pity that although he had good intentions, Qi Lingbo was still willing to give in in front of everyone. She stamped her feet on the spot: "Don't worry about this matter. I will apologize to dad later. In short, I have to teach this a lesson today..." These two!”
Cai Zhao laughed out loud: "How are you going to teach me a lesson?"
Zeng Dalou took a step across, covering Cai Zhao behind him, and whispered: "Say less."
Cai Zhao was secretly wondering, Zeng Dalou and I have known each other for less than two hours, why didn't you ask Qi Lingbo, who is at your door, to say less?
Qi Lingbo said loudly: "A person in the martial arts world will naturally see the truth with his fists and feet!"
Cai Zhao poked his head out from behind Zeng Building and said with a smile: "I just said a few more words. Firstly, I didn't take your snow lotus pill, and secondly, I wasn't rude to you. You treat me and this junior brother Chang Ning as equals so quickly. How did Senior Sister Qi settle this account?"
Qi Lingbo's eyes were red with anger: "You still dare to say that you are not rude to me?! If it weren't for you, how could I be scolded and punished by my father later? If it weren't for you, none of these accidents would have happened... "
"You are wrong." Chang Ning suddenly spoke, and everyone looked at him.
Chang Ning looked at Cai Zhao: "I'm older than you, so I'm not your junior brother."
Everyone was stunned.
Cai Zhao said earnestly: "You are being bullied, and I am here to rescue you. Shouldn't you listen carefully when I call you junior brother? When you are walking in the world, you should be a more moral person."
Chang Ning looked at the sky: "If someone younger than me calls me junior brother, I would rather be beaten by them. Anyway, it won't hurt if they use their tricks to beat me."
"You two...are bullying me too much!" Qi Lingbo was about to die.
"Okay, you two should stop saying a few words!" Zeng Dalou yelled.
After yelling, everyone went to see him.
