Luoxia Peak is a branch peak of Qingxia Mountain.
At this time, on the path under the mountain peak, a carriage was slowly and steadily moving forward.
Qi Yan was wearing a green shirt, holding up the curtains and sitting inside.
He got on the carriage this afternoon for no other reason than he was too tired from traveling the past few days, so he had no choice but to travel by carriage.
Secondly, the world of cultivating immortals is extremely complicated. Traveling with people on a carriage also reduces the risk of being killed and cheated on the way.
Among the people traveling with him, besides the groom, there were three others riding in it.
One is a female cultivator on the second level of Qi training, named Gu Yu. She has a beautiful appearance and is extremely pure.
One is her second uncle, named Gu Tai. He is a physical practitioner at the sixth level of Qi training. He has an extremely strong body, as fierce and strong as a tiger.
According to their plan, they originally planned to let Gu Yu go to Sanhaofang City to join her relatives in the clan to wait for the start of the 'Qingxia Festival', but because she had just entered the outside world, they were worried that she would be alone, so they had to let her go. The second uncle went together.
The other is a monk at the fourth level of Qi training, called Cheng Shi. He has a withered face and the air of a casual cultivator.
"Fellow Daoist Qi..."
Qi Yan came back to his senses and saw the innocent-looking Gu Yuzheng asking himself with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Qi, why have you gone to Fangshi?"
"I?"
Qi Yan was suddenly suspicious. Few people seemed to speak very much along the way. At this time, they started chatting with him...
So he answered carefully: "I am going to Fangshi this time to find my relatives."
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Qi has relatives in the village?" Gu Yu's eyes were bright and curious.
"I can't even talk about relatives..."
Qi Yan laughed it off and asked, "What is Mr. Gu doing when he goes to Fangshi?"
"Me..."
"Of course it's for the sake of clearing up..."
"Yu'er!"
Gu Yu was about to blurt out, but was immediately interrupted by Gu Tai beside him. After seeing the other person shaking his head, he suddenly remembered the instructions of the family elders.
Then he kept silent and pretended that nothing happened.
Cheng Shi, who was sitting next to the banquet, took up the conversation and said with a smile: "Haha... If the old Taoist's guess is correct, what fellow Taoist is talking about should be the 'Qingxia Grand Meeting' held every three years in Qingxia Mountain."
After saying that, he turned to Gu Taiheshan and persuaded: "Fellow Daoist Gu, the Qingxia Festival is no longer a shocking secret. There is no need to treat our juniors like this."
But in the face of other people's persuasion, Gu Tai just glanced at it, then closed his eyes and continued to calm down.
However, when Qi Yan heard the news, he immediately became interested and quickly asked Cheng Shi for advice: "May I ask Fellow Daoist Cheng, what is the Qingxia Festival you just mentioned?"
"Fellow Taoist, don't you know about the Qingxia Festival?"
"I don't know." Qi Yan shook his head.
Although he knew that the other party would be surprised when he knew the answer, he still humbly asked for advice. Now, he was like a frog sitting in a well watching the sky. He had stayed in the comfort zone for too long and naturally had no way of knowing the information outside the Wengcheng.
Cheng Shi looked at it in disbelief, and after sizing it up, he nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Qi is in his prime, I don't know that the Qingxia Festival is normal..."
After coughing, he continued: "The Qingxia Grand Meeting is a 'Yinmen' conference held every three years in Qingxia Mountain. The so-called 'Yinmen' is to select some qualifications from the contestants participating in the conference. The top-ranking people will then be selected by the elders of each peak in turn, and those who pass the exam will be qualified to join their sect."
"Once he is accepted into the sect by the elders of various peaks, his status will naturally rise in the sect. When the time comes...countless secrets of techniques, spiritual herbs and elixirs~"
Speaking of this, Cheng Shi's old face showed envy and yearning.
But after he finished his words, he sighed calmly: "So every three years at this time, young heroes from various families will go to Qingxia Mountain to admire its reputation."
"I see."
After Qi Yan heard this, he was greatly puzzled.
Reminiscent of the time when I got along with Wen Yuyin, it seemed that I had never heard her talk about Qingxia Mountain.
'Well, I think Sister Wen must have known about my qualifications, so she hid something from me. Besides, even if I knew, it would only make me feel more emotional. '
Qi Yan lamented. Sure enough, some people were born in Rome, while some people never reached Rome in their lifetime.
At the same time, a place ahead of the trail...
Two middle-aged monks with sinister faces were hiding in the corner, with hidden talismans attached to their bodies.
One of them has a strong build, with a chain sword on his shoulder, and seems to be a physical practitioner; the other is steady and steady, holding a disc in his hand, like an formation master.
"Brother, I figured it out. Except for the coachman, the one with the highest cultivation level among this group of people is only a middle-aged physical practitioner at the sixth level of Qi training. The rest are minions at the second and third levels of Qi training. Do you want to take action?"
"Don't worry, wait until they enter the formation."
The formation master holding the disk said again: "After all, there are many of them, and besides, the third child is not making any movement at this time."
"wait wait wait..."
The strong physique cultivator was quite impatient and said: "In my opinion, there is no need to wait. It's better to just go down with a heavy sword and kill them by surprise."
"Be careful and be patient, you're always right~"
"Have you forgotten how the fourth child died?"
The formation master was always staring at the carriage not far away. Seeing that his second brother still couldn't get rid of his impatience, he couldn't help but feel angry.
When Ti Xiu heard that his elder brother was talking about the painful lesson he learned last time, he was speechless for a moment and stopped talking.
Qi Yan in the car was chatting happily with Cheng Shi and the others...
Unexpectedly, when they talked about why Cheng Shi went to Fangshi, he heard a sinister "hehe" from the corner of his mouth, and then a silhouette jumped out of the carriage.
'not good. '
Qi Yan was immediately frightened, and a strong intuition told him: something happened!
"Fellow Taoist, be careful, there is an ambush!"
However, before Qi Yan could finish speaking, three long ice picks suddenly emerged from under the car.
'Ice binding formation, formation! '
Qi Yan, who has been learning talismans and formations from his parents since he was a child, is very familiar with this formation, and today he experienced it personally.
As several ice cones surged up, dozens of talismans rained down from the sky and fell next to the three of them, exploding like fire from the sky and flashing like arcs of lightning. Qi Yan was caught off guard.
Thanks to Gu Tai's physique, which is rough and thick-skinned, his physical quality is incomparable, and he has practiced some body protection spells, he was able to withstand the sudden bombardment.
Although there were areas where protection could not be provided, Qi Yan, as the first person to discover the incident, had enough time to react.
I saw him hurriedly running the 'Qingxia Immortal Art', adjusting his spiritual energy to protect himself. To be on the safe side, he attached several enhancement talismans to his body.
'Okay, okay... let's play like this! '
This counter-intuitive plan almost caused him a big loss.
Qi Yan's heart trembled, and he was just thinking about how to fight back when he suddenly saw a dark figure emerging from the woods beside the trail.
And the target of the black shadow's attack is himself!
Qi Yan had no time to dodge, so he had to throw a 'Fireball Technique' talisman over, and then hid in time amidst the explosion.
However, the black shadow did not give Qi Yan time to react. After dodging, he took out a short staff with a faint light and attacked Qi Yan with lightning speed.
Qi Yan couldn't dodge, and several "Physical Control Talismans" were torn apart in the air.
"..."
"Fellow Daoist Qi, this is really a good trick!"
At this time, Cheng Shi, who was holding a short staff, said viciously, his face extremely cold and twisted.
"Each other, each other."
As he said that, Qi Yan took advantage of the other party's distraction and hurriedly transferred his spiritual energy, used his magic weapon, and then attached a few 'body-controlling talismans' to his body.
While Qi Yan was fighting with others, Gu Yu was still safe and sound under the protection of Gu Tai.
In just a moment, the physique with the sword on his shoulder jumped up and faced Gu Tai with the posture of bearing down on the mountain.
"Practice the sixth level of qi...it's interesting!"
The muscular physique is rampant, and the implication is particularly obvious.
However, Gu Yu, who was out of protection, was a little confused at this moment. When he was scared, his eyes caught a glimpse of the formation master who was operating the formation.
A wave of anger welled up in his heart. When Gu Yu saw this, he patted the storage bag with his silver teeth, took out his magic weapon and rushed over.
"Fellow Taoist, no!"
Qi Yan, who was fighting on the side, saw this situation and hurriedly said something.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the two sides were already fighting.
However, there is a big difference between the cultivation level of the second level of Qi training and the fifth level of Qi training, and the opponent is in a favorable position. In just a few rounds, Gu Yu was suppressed by the formation master's spells and complained endlessly.
"I didn't expect that she is still a delicate girl. I'm afraid the third child will be blessed now!"
The formation master smiled happily, as if someone else was enjoying it on his behalf.
Gu Yu had a troubled look on her face and turned to her second uncle again for help. However, she saw that the other uncle was fighting with his opponent. When she looked at Qi Yan, the other uncle was also unable to deal with it. She couldn't help but feel desperate.
And just when she was panicking, a sword light fell in front of her like a brilliant star...
