Following Nie Yun, Shen Hao found that he was forced to become the center of attention. Everyone who greeted Nie Yun would subconsciously look at him twice, and some would even nod at him as a sign of goodwill.
"Nie..."
"Just call me senior brother. I felt awkward when you called me "Master Nie" before at the Sword Emperor Tomb."
Before Shen Hao could finish his words, he was interrupted by Nie Yun. He was discussing friendship with Shen Hao, and even though he was just pretending now, he couldn't get used to the title "Master Nie".
Shen Hao didn't care, so he followed suit and said, "Brother, are all these people here to congratulate you?"
"Of course. You Xuanqing Guards should have records of these sects, right? The celebration will be held very early tomorrow, and those who can come will arrive a day early. Basically, the sects in Jingxi will send people here to save face.
Well, look, are you familiar with some of the people over there? "
Nie Yun suddenly pursed his lips behind him as he spoke. Shen Hao turned his head and saw a cloud of mist falling from the sky to the foot of the mountain. Not only did it cause a commotion, the monks from all walks of life all gave way, and even consciously gave way to a wide path outside the mountain gate. .
There were three people coming down from the cloud, and one of them, Shen Hao, looked really familiar.
"Zhang Lin of Tianchan Sect."
"Haha, have you seen the short, fat old man next to Zhang Lin? That person is Yu Aofeng."
Yu Aofeng? !
These three words immediately caused waves when they fell into Shen Hao's ears. Who is Yu Aofeng? The grandfather of Yu Shengjue who was murdered by him in the Sword Emperor Tomb, the Great Elder of Tianchan Sect!
"Senior brother, what is Yu Aofeng's cultivation level?"
"Haha, what? Are you scared?"
Shen Hao shrugged. He was not afraid at all, but he was definitely on guard subconsciously. Besides, he had always claimed that Yu Shengjue's death had nothing to do with him, so naturally he would not pick on Nie Yun, and he had no reason to be afraid of Yu Aofeng.
Nie Yun looked at Shen Hao with a smile but not a smile, and gave the answer without criticizing him: "Fifteen years ago, Yu Aofeng came to Guishan Monastery, and my master met him. At that time The master said that Yu Aofeng’s cultivation level was above him, and at that time my master was at the second level of Xuanhai Realm.”
"this......"
Above the second level of the Xuanhai Realm... Shen Hao felt a sense of expected horror. These are the real masters. But after hearing what Nie Yun said, his master reached the second level of the Xuanhai realm fifteen years ago, so he must be an elder-level figure, right?
Only now did Shen Hao remember that he had never really gotten to know Nie Yun or the "Lao Shufeng" behind him whom he had heard of several times.
"Then what is your master's title?"
"Tsk, you don't know yet?!" Nie Yun curled his lips, feeling speechless at this guy who had the title of Lao Shufeng's registered disciple but knew nothing about it. He explained: "My master is Zhenren Pingyang! You are not Have you learned any tricks from my master? You don’t know that my master is the master of Laoshu Peak?”
After Li Shuyang returned to the mountain, he mentioned several times that there were actually geniuses who were buried in the world. He mentioned the name "Shen Hao" as an example, and Nie Yun memorized it at that time. Later, by chance, I got acquainted with Shen Hao and secretly said, "Master will never deceive me." Naturally, we became even closer.
Otherwise, Nie Yun was not his mother, so why would he be so kind to Shen Hao as soon as he came here?
"Ah? Nie...are you a disciple of Zhenren Pingyang?!" Shen Hao suppressed his voice with a look of surprise on his face.
"Tsk, if you yell louder, people around you will know that you are a fake. Okay, let's go up the mountain, why don't you run into Yu Aofeng? That old man is very evil? He might trick you. Get it out."
After saying that, Nie Yun pushed Shen Hao involuntarily and the two quickly walked along the mountain road to Changbaifeng.
And just as the two of them left, a cloud of mist descended from Changbaifeng, and a white-haired old lady came down from it. She greeted Yu Aofeng who was standing at the mountain gate with a smile on her face.
"Elder Yu! Don't be surprised if you miss us from afar!"
"Haha? Elder Xu? I haven't seen you for many years, and your cultivation has improved a lot! Hahaha..."
Yu Aofeng's status is unusual. He is one of the only two first-class sects in Jingxi, and he is the most important elder in the sect besides the sect leader. Similarly, the person who came down the mountain to greet him was Xu Lingyan, the great elder of Changbaifeng.
Both of them were figures of the same period? They knew each other when they were young.
And when Yu Aofeng came to Chang Baifeng to watch the ceremony in person, it could be seen that at least Tianchan Sect and Chang Baifeng were on good terms, and both parties valued this relationship.
It's just that Yu Aofeng's eyes went beyond Xu Lingyan for a moment, and glanced diagonally upward at a figure who was walking quickly up the mountain. The meaning was unclear.
...
After entering the mountain gate, Shen Hao found that there would be some pavilions hanging by the roadside from time to time on the way up the mountain. There were always monks in the pavilion talking in groups of three or three, and some even had fierce quarrels. This is different from the "quiet" impression Shen Hao had always had of sect monks.
"What? Are you curious about what they are doing?" Nie Yun was addicted to alcohol? He took out the wine bottle and drank two sips, and then looked at Shen Hao's curious look and found it funny.
"Huh? It looks like we are discussing something."
"It's a training meeting."
"Study meeting? What do you mean?"
"There are many different paths on the road to spiritual practice. If you want to avoid reaching a dead end, the guidance of the master is very important. At the same time, your own understanding and understanding are also very important. This involves a lot of "experience", and the experience of one person is definitely not as good as that of a group. People are rich in experience? So monks with similar realms like to get together and bring out some of their doubts or guesses for everyone to discuss and confirm each other."
"But these people are not from the same sect, is that okay?"
"What's the problem? If you're not stupid, you won't talk about the core things to outsiders. What you can talk about are the details. In fact, if you have the chance, you can try this kind of practice session."
"Me? Let's talk about it later when we have a chance."
To be honest, Shen Hao has never encountered anything that puzzled him throughout his practice. The previous shortcoming was in swordsmanship, but now with Nie Yunde's guidance and "Split Light Slash", he has consciously made up for it a lot. Besides, Shen Hao felt very inappropriate talking about his spiritual practice and understanding with a group of people who didn't know the basics.
After walking for about half an hour, I left the mountain road. In front of me was a flat dam that had been opened up.
"The main peak of Changbai Peak should be in front of us. Tomorrow's celebration will probably be held there." Nie Yunyao pointed to a hilltop extending directly in front of Pingba.
Nie Yun just said a few words, and then Chang Baifeng's reception disciple came forward and asked Nie Yun and Shen Hao if they were going to their residence to rest first or did they need them to take them around?
"Is there anywhere I can go shopping?"
"There is a sword-washing pool in the back mountain of our sect, which is where the founder of the sect learned swordsmanship. There is still Zongheng Sword Intention left. If you are interested, you can go and take a look."
"Sword washing pool?"
The two looked at each other and were both interested in taking a look.
"Lead the way."
