The carriage was speeding on the official road. After a long time, it turned off the official road and onto a self-built road. It was only one car wide, with uneven dirt roads or woods on both sides. One car lined up.
Shen Hao's car was in the middle of the convoy, and there were thirteen other large and small carriages traveling in front and behind.
On the carriage were congratulatory gifts. There are good wines, some famous calligraphy and paintings, and antiques. The number of items is actually not that many. However, many things are not very convenient to transport and take up a lot of space, so the pile is very large and only more than ten cars can be loaded.
In addition to these congratulatory gifts, ten elite members of the Golden Sword Battalion were also accompanying them. Among them was a leader of the Golden Sword Camp in the Xuanhai Realm. The cultivation levels of the rest of the Golden Sword Guards are also in the Yuandan realm.
It is necessary to fight in such a natural way. Because the destination is Wanjuan Shushan, one of the two super sects in the Jingji Dynasty, and the purpose is to be invited to participate in the "Book Tasting Conference" on June 15th, when there will be hundreds of sects The gathering is a major event in the cultivation world, held only once every ten years. Therefore, the purpose of these formations was not only to defend Shen Hao, but also to support the scene.
The "Book Tasting Conference" of Wanjuan Shushan and the "Sword Testing Conference" of Mingshan Sect are both known as the "Civil and Military Conference" of the cultivation world. It is not only a grand gathering but also a rare opportunity for each sect to communicate and test each other. It is also an important means for the two super sects to expand and maintain their influence in the cultivation world.
After being invited by Zhong Hongye and Xiang Liu, Shen Hao made some preparations for this conference, such as figuring out what this so-called "Book Tasting Conference" was about. What other processes are there? Finally, I still want to think of some words, so that my "bait" plan can be smoothly implemented in conjunction with Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect.
The so-called "book tasting conference" should actually be regarded as a gathering to mutually confirm the results of practice. It is necessary whether it is a casual cultivator or a second-, third-rate or inferior sect, as well as a first-rate or super sect.
Whatever level of monk you are, you can find people of the same level at this conference to sit down and talk. You don’t need to involve your own trump cards or the sect’s secret skills. You just need to confirm each other’s direction on the path of cultivation and the things they have encountered. Just potholes, if you help others, others will help you.
Almost everyone can benefit, which is why the "Book Tasting Conference" remains popular. Otherwise, the super sect’s influence alone would not be able to last for thousands of years.
Therefore, Pin’s “books” are actually their respective practice experiences and problems.
Of course, there are also those who truly "appreciate books". Some monks’ collections of books, classics, or their own miscellany of experiences, or short poems. These literati’s things are very stylish, and the patterns look elegant. There has always been a market for them among the monks of the sect. A few people even use this as a method for cultivating their own mind. There are many masters among them, but they are just not known to the world.
After walking along the sidewalk for another two hours, we finally reached a forest where we had no way to go and lost our head.
However, this so-called dead end road can only deceive ordinary people. The monks can clearly feel that there is a covering circle in the woods ahead.
"I didn't know that Mr. Shen is here, but I hope you'll forgive me if I miss you so much!"
Several people came out of the woods, dressed in the robes of Wanjuan Shushan. The first person smiled and said hello to Shen Hao, and then raised his hand behind him. The formation was turbulent, and a road appeared in the middle of the woods in front of him. forward.
Shen Hao just showed his face on the carriage and lowered the curtain on the window. He also didn’t say hello to the disciples from Wanjuan Shushan in front of him.
This is only the first barrier gate, and there are three more gates behind it that are the gates of Wanjuanshu Mountain. Starting from the first pass, this three hundred miles radius is the territory of Wanjuan Shushan.
It's so big that it doesn't even look like a sect, it's comparable to the size of a small city. It just doesn't belong to a densely populated area.
"Sir, we're here."
When you get off the carriage, you are faced with the towering mountain gate. It is more than ten feet tall and has four big characters written on it: Ten Thousand Volumes of Books Mountain.
According to legend, the Mountain of Ten Thousand Volumes of Books got its name because the large and small peaks inside the mountain gate are densely covered like stacks of stacked books. Even the disciples of Wanjuanshu Mountain have the habit of leaving books. There are stone tablets or inscriptions carved on the stone walls on many mountain peaks. They actually use the mountain peaks as pages of their own books.
"Lord Shen, I'm sorry to hear you come from afar!"
As soon as Shen Hao got out of the car, he looked up and a cloud floated out from the mountain gate. The speed was not slow. The cloud descended and the voice arrived first. It was Zhong Hongye, the ninth elder of Wanjuan Shushan who Shen Hao had dealt with several times.
"Hahahaha, Shen is the one who dare not take the responsibility. How can I bother Elder Zhong to greet him in person?" Shen Hao had a smile on his face as soon as he got off the carriage. Seeing Yun Jia falling, he returned the favor to Zhong Hongye who had given him his hand.
The clouds came, and Zhong Hongye's arrival immediately made everyone at the mountain gate pause.
During the "Book Tasting Conference", more than a hundred sects were invited, as well as some major cultivators and powerful casual cultivators. Many of these people would come in advance. And Wanjuanshu Mountain is so huge that people can enter from all directions, so now there are many people gathering under the mountain gate.
When Shen Hao's bicycle came to a stop, it attracted many people's subconscious attention. After all, the golden sword emblem of Fenghong Villa was still very noticeable. Moreover, few people from Fenghong Villa were invited to the previous "Book Tasting Conference", and Fenghong Villa has been very popular in the cultivation world recently. Many low-level sects have been a little nervous because of Fenghong Villa. Seeing the car Many people who came over frowned.
Then Zhong Hongye came in the clouds, and after falling down, he expressed his attitude that he had come specially to greet the visitors of Fenghong Villa. This attitude made everyone around who witnessed this scene feel slightly shocked.
The elders of the mountain sect were dispatched to personally greet him. This was a treatment only received by first-class sects. In other words, Wanjuan Shushan compared Fenghong Villa with a first-class sect.
Seeing Zhong Hongye chatting with the people from Fenghong Villa all the way into the mountain gate, many people outside the door were whispering to each other.
"Why are people from Fenghong Villa here too? What are they here for?"
"Hmph! You still don't know who the person who was joking with Elder Zhong just now is, right? That is the evil star Shen Hao who is currently the commander of the Black Flag Battalion of the Xuanqing Guard and the deacon of foreign affairs of Fenghong Villa. After this person takes office They are not friendly to our sect, and I’m afraid it’s because of the bad intentions this time!”
"What else can be wrong? Didn't you see that Elder Zhong personally welcomed him out? Tsk, tut, it's not the people below who are suffering."
"You are just talking nonsense. Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect have always been on the same page for so many years, especially in external affairs. I don't think they will sell out their comrades below. Fenghong Villa is ignored. Maybe the invitation to Fenghong Villa is for other purposes to improve the relationship between the two parties? "
