Everyone waited at Luanshi Gang for about a quarter of an hour, and senior fellow apprentice Qiu and another Tianji Sect disciple also rushed back.
Bu Jiu stood up and gathered the people on the rocky hill together. He held a silk scroll and confessed a few words, to the effect that he asked everyone to follow him out of the ridge and transport the body to a designated place in the north of the ridge.
After a while, the seven people from the Tianshou Sect took the lead, and a group of people from the Tianji Sect immediately started to follow them, flying towards the north.
Because Luan Shi Gang is located at the northern end of Kui Yun Ridge, it is only a very short distance from the ridge. The designated place to rush to the north of the ridge is an area called Lianhua Ao, which is connected by a road that runs from east to west and crosses the Kui Yun Ridge Mountains. The area is connected by winding rivers and dotted lakes.
Not long after everyone flew, they arrived at Lianhua Ao. Several disciples of the Holy Talisman Sect were already waiting here. Seeing Bu Jiu arriving with a group of people, he instructed everyone to take out the corpses of the monks from the Moon Worshiping Immortal Kingdom one by one. , all placed on an oasis in the middle of the lake.
Liu Qingyi emptied the corpses in the ring, stood on the river bank and looked around, and found that he and others were the first team to arrive because they were in the north and too close to here.
After everyone in the team had emptied the collected corpses, several Holy Talisman Sect disciples asked everyone to line up and wait on the oasis in the middle of the lake. It took another half an hour before a second team came here to unload the buried bodies.
Seeing that two teams had arrived, several disciples guarding the place from the Holy Talisman Sect summoned the two teams together and gave each person a triangular yellow flag.
As the first team to arrive, everyone from Tianshou Sect and Tianji Sect naturally held a small triangular flag in their hands.
"What do you mean? What does this mean?"
"Is this a soul-calling flag?"
"Is it possible that we need to bury the formation flag again? This is too much!"
Several disciples of the Holy Talisman Sect shouted sternly: "Stop talking!" After giving out the small flags to the two teams, they ordered everyone to put them on their backs, and asked dozens of people from the two teams to line up a few steps apart and stand guard. Lianhua flutters on the river bank on one side of Kuiyun Mountain.
For a moment, flags were fluttering on the river bank, which was eye-catching.
With the yellow flag on his back, Liu Qingyi looked around and saw that everyone who came with him had a yellow flag above his head and looked confused. He couldn't help but smile to himself: "They look like a row of ancient death row prisoners with straw flags on their heads, waiting to be executed."
A guard disciple of the Holy Talisman Sect had already walked over and began to explain the rules to the two teams. According to his wishes, everyone lined up to guard here, firstly to prevent the corpses on the oasis in the middle of the lake from being eaten by nearby birds and beasts. Second, it serves as a temporary guard of honor.
According to the rules of the Shengfu Sect, when high-level immortals from the two countries meet, if someone of the elder level of the sect is present, they should be accompanied by corresponding ceremonial guards to show the dignity of the Dasheng country and the magnanimity of the sect.
Since this time is the handover of the remains of fallen monks from the two countries, senior officials from the Immortal Kingdom will naturally come here. Senior officials from the Moon Worshiping Immortal Kingdom will also be present. For such matters between countries, there are even elder hall masters who will lead the team to temporarily arrest them. It is also essential for a few strong men to form an honor guard to support them.
Yan Kuan put a yellow flag on his back and stood two people away from Liu Qingyi. He muttered: "It's a sin to come early. Damn it, but I have to do a thankless job. It's really unlucky today." Again and again.”
Li Deqiang advised in a low voice from the side: "Senior Brother, there are many people here, and there are people from the Holy Talisman Sect. You should speak less."
Li Gongjun also advised: "Senior Brother Yan, please be patient. Our realm is low and we only do these odd jobs. Is it okay to just send us out to fight with others? I don't think so!"
Li Deqiang nodded when he heard this and said: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother Li's words are reasonable and his knowledge is quite profound. Please be patient for now."
Wang Tianshui, who was standing next to Li Deqiang, kept looking around. At this moment, he saw more and more teams unloading corpses in the middle of the lake. He glanced at the female cultivators from various sects and in a blink of an eye, he saw someone approaching this side. He was busy. He warned aloud: "Someone is coming."
Everyone heard the sound and went away, only to see a team of dozens of people. As soon as they arrived at the center of the lake and unloaded the bodies, they turned and flew towards everyone.
The leader was none other than Liu Changhong from the Western Territory's Baiyue Sect, along with Cui Lingxiang and the senior sister named Qiu. The rest were all new faces, presumably teammates of the three new groups.
Liu Changhong clasped his fists from afar and said: "Which immortal friend are we from? They look so familiar. It turns out that four Taoist brothers are here. Changhong came to meet them."
Cui Lingxiang's eyes swept across, finally resting on Liu Qingyi, and said with a smile: "Brothers, why don't you come? How come you have become a guard of honor this time?"
Yan Kuan muttered in a low voice: "You're early."
Xiao Jamyan looked very surprised. Seeing Cui Lingxiang asking, he blurted out: "Cui... Fairy Cui, long time no see. Is everything okay?"
On the other hand, Bu Jiu cupped his fists and saluted Liu Changhong: "Brother Liu Dao seems to have recovered. Has he formed a new team this time?"
Liu Changhong replied: "Yes, the Immortal Kingdom takes special care of us sects who have suffered heavy losses, and let the three of us go with the Taoist brothers and immortal sisters from Lihuo Palace."
The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Liu Changhong introduced the few people who came behind him. However, they were all disciples of Lihuo Palace, the No. 1 Immortal Sect in the Western Region. The one who impressed Liu Qingyi the most was the leader with a broad face and short mustache. , a big man with red hair, his name is Hu Ban.
After Liu Changhong introduced a few people, he shouted in a loud voice: "It turns out that these are the immortal friends from the Southern Heavenly Beast Sect and the Tianji Sect. I have already heard what happened on Xiaoyue Qiu yesterday from Changhong. Several of them Brother Taoist rescued the Xingyan sect's enemies in a righteous way, which can be regarded as fulfilling the friendship between our two realms of boxing in the southwest." After saying that, he lowered his head and whispered a few words to Liu Changhong, his eyes suddenly fell on Liu Qingyi, and he was very excited. Authentic: "So this is the Taoist brother who fought alone against many people from the Xingyan Sect yesterday and defeated the same level. Don't you know his surname?"
Liu Qingyi was caught off guard, so he raised his hand and saluted, "I'm Liu Qingyi, my name is Yunzheng."
Hu Ban pondered and said: "The word cloud? I wonder which peak of the Heavenly Beast Gate it comes from? Why have I never heard of it before?"
Li Deqiang said dissatisfiedly: "Senior Miaoyuan Fengyun, have you really never heard of me?"
Hu Ban shook his head for a while, and Liu Changhong interjected: "Brothers, I went back yesterday and reported the matter of your assistance to the sect. The sect will explain this matter to the Immortal Kingdom Shengfu Sect in the near future. How much can it do? Everyone from the second sect invites you to give some gifts, and I will make up for it a little bit."
Bu Jiu and Senior Brother Qiu's eyes lit up, and they all politely excused themselves. On the other side, Yan Kuan, Li Deqiang, Li Gongjun and others had expressions of surprise and astonishment on their faces. They didn't expect that they had nothing. If you do it, you can also get some benefits.
Thinking about it, even though Liu Qingyi, Bu Jiu, Xiao Jingyan and the four senior fellows surnamed Qiu from the Tianji Sect were responsible for the mutual aid, once the reward came down, most of it would fall on everyone else.
Li Deqiang smiled widely, turned to Yan Kuan and whispered: "Elder brother, listen, we seem to have a share."
Yan Kuan said solemnly: "That's natural. Without us guarding Xiaodongqiu, how would they have the chance to support Xiaoyueqiu?"
Li Deqiang said seriously: "This is the truth."
After the two parties exchanged greetings for a while, a disciple of the Holy Talisman Sect came over and asked everyone not to disturb the ceremony. Liu Changhong, Hu Ban and others had to say goodbye and left after being driven away by several Holy Talisman Sect disciples.
During this period, Cui Lingxiang stepped out of the air and looked back several times, but her wonderful eyes fell on Liu Qingyi several times.
Because Xiao Jingyan had exchanged a few words with Cui Lingxiang, he had a look of joy on his face. When he saw Cui Lingxiang looking back over and over again, his heart was swaying, and he actually rushed out with the flagpole on his head, and was caught by several Shengfu Sect disciples. He yelled and cursed loudly and rushed back to the honor guard.
As soon as Yan Yuezong and others left, several more teams from the south came one after another. They unloaded the bodies in the middle of the lake. Many acquaintances from each team turned back and saw Liu Qingyi and others guarding the place with yellow flags on their backs. On the river bank, everyone was a little confused.
When they were young, a group of people from the Western Border Liuyun Sect came to the middle of the lake. After unloading the bodies, they turned to look at the group of people standing on the river bank curiously. When they saw Liu Qingyi, who was dressed in purple with a yellow flag on his back, he was all excited. It was the pupils that shrank.
"Isn't this Lian Yu's cheap senior brother? How did he get here?"
"How come he didn't die in the battle at Kuiyunling yesterday?!"
"I didn't expect him to serve as a guard of honor!"
As they spoke, a group of people came closer to Liu Qingyi and looked around, as if admiring a rare treasure.
Yan Kuan, Li Deqiang, Bu Jiu and others on the side looked over with blank expressions, and they all guessed in their hearts, "What's going on with this group of people?" "What's that look in their eyes?" "Did Junior Brother offend someone? "
A female disciple of the Liuyun Sect looked at Liu Qingyi, raised a finger and pointed at Liu Qingyi and said, "Look, this guy has turned into a bamboo pole."
"Yes, it's really rare for a monkey to climb a pole!" Another famous Liuyun Sect disciple said with a smile.
"Go away! Don't stop me from doing my business. I want to drive away the corpse birds to prevent them from snatching the corpses!" Liu Qingyi said expressionlessly.
A tall and strong disciple of Liuyun Sect sneered: "Hey, you can speak human language, how can this be a bamboo pole? It's obviously a human stick!"
Liu Qingyi didn't say anything, and Yan Kuan on the side responded: "You are a birdman!"
Li Deqiang echoed: "What Senior Brother said is absolutely true. These people are blocking our sight and preventing us from driving away the corpse birds. They are just a group of bird people who are helping each other!"
"You...are also a human stick!"
"Go away, Birdman!"
When several disciples of the Holy Talisman Sect saw the quarrel here, they flew over to stop it and drove away the Liuyun Sect people.
…
More than an hour later, most of the teams had arrived here. Under the guidance of several Shengfu Sect disciples, they unloaded the collected corpses on the oasis in the middle of the lake, and then retreated into Kuiyun Ridge.
At this time, many teams who had finished unloading the corpses stopped on the hillside near Kuiyunling. They looked at the two teams standing on the river bank with yellow flags from a distance, and there was a burst of discussion.
"Is this a ceremony to pay homage to the dead?" A female cultivator on the third level of Tongyuan Realm asked in surprise.
"No way, two people in the team also died yesterday. It would be outrageous to not pay homage to them but to pay homage to these enemy monks." Another male cultivator beside him retorted.
"Then what does it mean for these people with yellow flags on their backs and facing the middle of the lake?" the female cultivator continued to ask.
"Perhaps they are setting up some powerful formation." The male cultivator said.
Another older male cultivator interjected: "This is a bit like a guard of honor. Last time I heard my uncle mentioned that some high-level elders of the Northern Holy Talisman Sect always let some low-level disciples do this kind of thing when traveling."
The female cultivator clicked her tongue twice and said, "He, it's such a big pomp. Is there really an elder from the Holy Talisman Sect coming here?"
The older male correction officer wanted to speak, but they heard a burst of wind blowing in the sky above Kuiyun Ridge. Several people turned around and looked up, only to see a group of dark people flying far away from the ridge. The black and white Taoist robes had obvious signs. I know he is from the Holy Talisman Sect.
Some people died, but not completely...
