After leaving Youjiao Port, the three brothers, who were like thieves, quietly crossed the mountains and ridges. After they were far away from the mountains, they found their mounts and ran away.
Humans have two legs, horses have four legs, they travel through mountains and rivers...
Kunling Mountain is located in the southern part of the Yin Kingdom. It is a beautiful landscape with thousands of peaks and ridges, beautiful bells and bells, and a myriad of atmospheres. Its original name is Qianling Mountain. After the cave of the Immortal Mansion in the Underworld opened, the demon world consecrated the place and called the holy place Qianliu Mountain. The name was taboo, and it was later renamed Kunling Mountain.
After cultivators who were good at cultivating spiritual objects in the spiritual world occupied this place and established a sect, Kunling Mountain became not only the name of the mountain, but also the name of the sect.
Kunling Mountain, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is the world's largest spiritual plant sect, enduring for a long time!
The Chaoyang Conference is held every 20 years, and has been held for 107 times. The Kunlingshan family has occupied ten of them. One can imagine the reputation of the No. 1 Lingzhi sect in the world.
Today, the 108th session, once again settled in Kunling Mountain.
The conference was about to start, and the reputation of the sect was related. The whole sect did not dare to make any mistakes, and had already prepared half a year in advance.
It was such a grand event that it was said that even the Emperor of Yin might come to see the grand event. .
This kind of situation has not happened before. Six of the Chaoyang Conferences organized by Kunling Mountain have been attended by successive emperors of the Yin Kingdom. This is the first time that Kunling Mountain has held it since His Majesty the current emperor ascended the throne.
Whether or not the emperor can be invited to come and support him is regarded as the attitude of the Yin State towards Kunling Mountain in the eyes of outsiders, and even in the eyes of Kunling Mountain's own people.
Although the Millennium sect has enjoyed great success, it actually has its own difficulties. The royal family is both wooing and suppressing them to some extent.
More importantly, a large part of the reason why the current emperor's power is extremely strong is that he has a very good relationship with the commander in charge of the "Daye Division". Among them is the reason why the queen is included, because the queen is the junior sister in charge of the commander.
For this reason, the emperor decreed that the commander be called "Earth Master", which means Master of the Earth!
What's interesting is that the supreme leader in the spiritual world of Jin Kingdom, who was named the "Mother of the Earth" by the imperial court of the Kingdom of Jin, is also the junior sister of the "Earth Master".
In other words, Earth Master, Earth Mother, and the Queen of Yin Kingdom were originally brothers and sisters of the same discipline, but now the regions are distinct and the hostility is obvious.
In other words, as long as Kunling Mountain can invite the emperor to this grand gathering, the queen may come with her, and she may even invite the Earth Master.
It is said that Kunling Mountain has spent a lot of money to win the right to host this grand event, and the leader has expressed his invitation to His Majesty the Emperor many times long ago.
As for whether the emperor will come all the way, it is unknown to the outside world, but the imperial court's 300,000 troops have already been deployed outside Kunling Mountain to assist this conference.
I heard the chattering comments of others.
The three brothers Yu Qing were sitting at a roadside tea stall, slowly drinking tea and chewing snacks, while listening to various discussions with their ears raised.
They were currently in a small town near Kunling Mountain.
The town also showed a rare liveliness, with garrison troops and all kinds of foreign visitors gathering together, a mixture of fish and dragons, and the flow of people increased sharply. Many resources were also gathered here, and merchants in the town made a lot of money, and the people in the town and nearby villagers also enjoyed a short period of food and clothing.
The three brothers and sisters have been leisurely and leisurely all the way to this point, and there is only one month left before the start of the conference.
People who want to attend can actually sign up now.
Heroes from all over the world rush to Kunling Mountain. The journeys may be long or short, and it is inevitable to arrive early. Kunling Mountain allows registration one month in advance as a way of hospitality. After registration, Kunling Mountain will provide proper accommodation for the guests’ food and accommodation.
The three brothers were not in a hurry to sign up. They came here slowly, just to find out more about the situation. Without any preparation, they wanted to plunge into the world's largest sect and get into trouble. That was definitely not appropriate.
Of course, another advantage of taking your time is that you can save a lot of money.
Secondly, they haven't figured out how to sneak into Kunling Mountain.
They don't dare to use their real identities when they sign up normally. Nowadays, they are somewhat self-aware. They know that they are not very capable, but their reputation is not small. As soon as they use their real identities, they will be targeted immediately. It is a trivial matter to get into trouble. Worried about being killed.
After all, both Chaloshan and Kunlingshan are in Lingzhi's circle. Who knows if anyone from Chaloshan will come this time.
If you make up a random identity to get in, you won’t dare to sign up too early, for fear that the organizer will have enough time to find out there is something wrong with their identity.
In fact, what they discovered along the way scared them a bit.
This kind of conference is far more eye-catching than they imagined. Even the emperor may come, and the intensity of identifying the participants is naturally beyond their imagination. With the power of an empire, no matter where you say you are from, you have to lie about your place of origin, otherwise you will be easily found out.
So after much deliberation, they still tended to sneak in as a handyman.
I heard that during the conference, some people are allowed to enter as handymen. First of all, the scale of the conference is too large, and no matter how big the sect is, there are not enough manpower, so some outside help is really needed.
Secondly, there are also practitioners who do not sign up or participate in the competition and want to go in to watch the grand event and the competition.
This is also a common practice. After all, there are many large and small cultivation sects, and there are too many people who go to the organizer to say hello and go through the back door. Rather than offending too many people by refusing, it is better to set rules.
In order to ensure the stability of the conference, those who can come in to do odd jobs are generally disciples of various sects, that is, they are guaranteed by the sects.
There are also non-sect disciples who can enter, and that requires a pretty strong guarantee.
At this time, the three brothers and sisters who were sitting on the roadside drinking tea stared at a bearded man across the street who was about five years old and short in height.
I saw the man burped after eating and drinking, wiped his greasy mouth, threw a silver nugget on the table, and said in a loud voice, "No need to look for it."
Amid the shopkeeper's repeated thanks, the man stood up with a full stomach, then walked away humming a tune on the street of the town with his hands behind his back.
Nanzhu immediately signaled to Yu Qing the silver nuggets that the store had taken away, and whispered: "Did you see it? It's a generous move."
Yu Qing also asked in a low voice: "How can anyone blatantly say on the street that he has the connections to get people into the 'Chaoyang Conference'? Are you sure you are not a liar?"
The person they were following was accidentally discovered, named Cao Wei. They heard him bragging to others, saying that he had the connections to get people into the "Chaoyang Conference" and that his uncle was the head of the "Zhengyang Sect", so he came forward to follow him. The "Zhengyang Sect" said hello and guaranteed that there would be no problem in ordering people to enter the "Chaoyang Conference" to watch the fun.
Of course, people can't help for free, they have to pay for it.
Nan Zhudun chuckled, "You don't understand this, right? If someone does this kind of thing secretly and furtively, it would be suspicious. Where do you see this place? Who dares to openly cheat on this kind of thing? I'm so impatient. It's almost the same. Old Fifteen, when it comes to this kind of martial arts experience, if you don't like to hear it, you are really not as good as me, you are still a little green."
Of course Yu Qing didn't like hearing it, and his face immediately darkened, "It's nothing to do with experience. If it's suspicious, it's just suspicious."
Nanzhu reached out and patted the back of his hand that was placed on the table, and said with a smile: "I know you don't like to hear it, don't be impatient, just take it easy. Who am I? I'm not someone who can easily jump into a pit. I haven’t been fooling around these days, I’ve already kept a close eye on him, guess who he associates with on weekdays?”
Yu Qing didn't answer and waited quietly, knowing that he would take the initiative.
Sure enough, Nanzhu asked and answered: "The commander of the garrison camp outside the town is very friendly with him. I have seen him enter and leave the garrison camp at will several times. Can such a person be a liar? In addition, he thinks like us. Those who went in, I saw with my own eyes that he sent two groups into Kunling Mountain without any hindrance. Also, I found out that there is indeed a 'Zhengyang Sect' in the Yin Kingdom, and the sect is quite large."
Compared with the previous two discoveries, it is not important whether the Zhengyang sect is not the Zhengyang sect. What is important is that they can achieve their goals.
Yu Qing's expression softened, he glanced at Cao Wei's already wandering back, and tilted his head to indicate that he should follow.
Throwing down the tea money, the three of them got up one after another and walked quickly to the other end of the town street as the store owner said, "Guests, please take your time."
Hurrying quickly, I finally caught up with the wandering Cao Wei.
Nanzhu quickly took a few steps forward, approached Cao Wei and whispered a few words to him. Cao Wei immediately looked around, and then followed Nanzhu into a side alley. Nanzhu shot Yu Qing and Mu Ao iron moves at the same time. He waved and welcomed the two of them into the alley.
Cao Wei looked at the three of them up and down, put his hands behind his hands and hummed: "It's a good thing to enter the 'Chaoyang Conference' to broaden your horizons, but I don't know if you know the market?"
Nanzhu cupped his hands and smiled, "I came to you because I didn't know. I heard that you have a solution. Please tell me what the market is like."
Cao Wei looked at people with noses and noses, "Thirty thousand taels per person, pay a deposit of ten thousand in advance, and then pay the other twenty thousand after delivery. No bargaining, no credit."
That's 90,000 taels. The three brothers and sisters looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them were willing to pay for this money.
"What are you doing if you don't want to give up money? It's a waste of my time."
Cao Wei said disdainfully, turned around and left.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Nanzhu quickly stopped him, and then looked at Yu Qing with Mu Aotie. Everyone knew what he meant.
Yu Qing suddenly looked a little ugly, but he was the leader, and he was the one who caused the two of them to be harmed by Diquan. In the end, he reached into his clothes and took out 30,000 taels of silver notes. When Cao Wei stretched out his hand, he He shrank back, "What's the guarantee? I gave you the money, what if you don't admit it?"
Cao Wei suddenly darkened his face, "Are you fucking sick? There is no insurance for this matter, and no receipt will be issued, and no evidence will be left. If things can be done, they will be done. If they can't be done, it will be fought or endured. There is no way. Refund the money. If you believe it, you will give it, if you don’t believe it, you will pull it down."
The other party's toughness made Yu Qing feel relieved. In addition, Nan Zhu pulled his sleeves to indicate that he was relieved. Yu Qing finally gave the money to the other party.
After getting the money, Cao Wei's face looked better, and he hummed: "Don't worry, we still have a bottom line for using money to do things. Let's go to the garrison camp outside the town to clear up the relationship. The entire perimeter of Kunling Mountain has been put under martial law by the imperial troops. Okay, it won't work unless it is unblocked." He waved the banknote in his hand to express his intention.
Then he said: "Let's meet at the south entrance outside the town in the evening. If nothing happens, we will send you to Kunling Mountain in the evening."
After saying that, he stuffed the money into his sleeves, turned around and left.
That was 30,000 taels of silver. How could the three brothers and fellow apprentices trust others to take it away, so in the end they followed quietly.
Fortunately, Cao Wei seemed to have kept his promise and actually went straight to the army station with swords and guns outside the city. As Nanzhu said, he just said hello to the guard and went in. It seemed that the route was indeed unusual.
In the central military tent, on the host's seat, the guest and the host changed positions. A eunuch with white temples and a brocade dress was sitting upright, drinking tea, with a solemn air on his wrinkled face.
The military commander who commanded this place instead stood down with his hands tied.
There was an announcement outside the tent, and Cao Wei, who looked like a man with a bag of wine and rice, had already entered in a different style. He glanced at the person sitting on the table in surprise. He didn't recognize him, but he knew it was unusual. He quickly lowered his head, walked to the commander, and offered it to the commander with both hands. Banknote, reported: "Three more."
The commander tilted his head and signaled to the lieutenant, "Go down and handle it yourself, and be quiet."
So the deputy general and Cao Wei both retreated.
The chief eunuch put down his tea cup and asked lightly, "What's going on?"
The commander hurriedly said: "Reporting to the Governor, in accordance with your wishes, we will eliminate those with evil intentions outside Kunling Mountain. Three more people have thrown themselves into the trap and are going to be tortured and interrogated."
The eunuch nodded slightly.
The commander raised his head again and tried to ask, "Could it be that His Majesty will come in person?"
The eunuch immediately glanced at him coldly, "Is this what you can ask? Regardless of whether it will come or not, the Holy Will will make its own decision. All you have to do is try your best to clear the surrounding areas to prepare."
"Yes." The commander bowed and accepted the order.
