Late at night.
Gu Xiaotian did not sleep in front of the waterfall this time. Instead, he returned to his room, lit an oil lamp, and read the "Water Sword Jue" that Duan Peng sent to him.
However, while reading, Gu Xiaotian's eyelids dropped, and he immediately lay down on the table and fell asleep.
Although he promised Duan Peng to read "Water Sword Jue", reading was still too difficult for Gu Xiaotian.
...
In the following days, everyone in Taibai had nothing to do.
Leng Qingqiu and Hao Hao came back a few times, but they came back in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Before Gu Xiaotian could reminisce about old times and discuss their experiences with the two of them, the two of them left in a hurry as if they were rushing to reincarnate.
As for Ye Wuhen, he has never been seen again since he used the sword all over the country and became the shopkeeper again.
Gu Xiaotian is also angry sometimes.
Although the master leads you in, cultivation depends on the individual.
But the threshold for this profession is higher than mine. It's simply too irresponsible for me to focus on personal cultivation before I even step into it.
From the hot summer to the cool air of autumn, Gu Xiaotian would swing his sword in front of the waterfall every day, and at night he would light an oil lamp and read "Water Sword Jue". It has to be said that Gu Xiaotian has made great progress. He used to be able to fall asleep after reading one page, but now he can read more than a dozen pages at a time. Although he was a bit hurriedly reading, he did have some insights. After realizing this, Gu Xiaotian ran up to the waterfall without stopping, brandishing a few swords. However, the effect is not obvious, but it has already improved a lot unknowingly.
Duan Peng and Huang Shengjie would occasionally come to the waterfall to watch Gu Xiaotian practice his sword, but Huang Shengjie didn't seem to care much about cutting off the waterfall.
Every time I saw him coming, he would force Gu Xiaotian to drink three glasses of beef and wine, and then look up to the sky and laugh at himself: "Alcohol and meat are prohibited in Zangjian Peak. Every day I eat some cabbage roots and leaves. , If this continues, I’m afraid that I’ll be reincarnated into a cow or sheep.”
As for Duan Peng, every time he comes, he always asks Gu Xiaotian about his experience of watching "Water Sword Jue", just like a private school teacher randomly checking whether students have gone home to complete their homework.
But what surprised Gu Xiaotian the most was that Ling Ruogu actually came to Wuhen Cliff.
Ling Ruogu was still the same as before, laughing and joking all day long.
Ling Ruogu was shocked when he saw Gu Xiaotian practicing his sword to cut down the waterfall. Then he smiled slightly and said, "It's a good thing that you worshiped Taibai. If you follow some evil ways, maybe the world will be over."
Naturally, Ling Ruogu didn't come empty-handed.
He brought a lot of elixirs, and regardless of the quality of the elixirs, his heart was a hundred times stronger than Duan Peng and Huang Shengjie.
Moreover, if you think about it, you will know that the elixir brought by Xuan Danfeng's direct disciple, can it be any worse?
Moreover, it was obvious that these elixirs were made by Ling Ruogu himself, and the elixirs made by the talented alchemist Ling Ruogu were not bad.
With the blessing of the elixir and wielding the sword day after day, Gu Xiaotian's realm has also improved rapidly, and now he has reached the strength of the early stage of artistic conception.
As for cutting off the waterfall, Gu Xiaotian's strength is not enough to complete it, but it is no longer as simple as stirring up water waves. Instead, for a moment, the water flow can become vacuum.
But this is hardly cutting off the waterfall.
...
On this day, Wuhen Cliff was extremely lively for some reason.
Wuhenya, which was originally deserted, now had three or four people standing there, and several more people were arriving one after another.
Gu Xiaotian, who had just woken up, walked out of the room with a look of shock on his face.
All of these people are his old acquaintances.
Duan Peng, Huang Shengjie, Wen Moyin, Yuan Jing, Shang Ziqing, and A Lan are all among them.
Shang Ziqing had not seen Gu Xiaotian for a long time, and he looked happy. He quickly came to Gu Xiaotian and whispered softly, like a woman whispering to the man she admired.
Wen Moyin looked at Gu Xiaotian from a distance, her eyes full of temptation, and her tongue kept licking her lips. Gu Xiaotian shuddered when he saw it.
Gu Xiaotian knew that Duan Peng was the only one in the room who understood, so he walked up to Duan Peng and asked, "Duan Peng, why did everyone come to Wuhen Cliff today?"
However, Duan Peng shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The leader just asked me to come by name, so I came."
While talking, Ye Wuhen walked out of his room with a smile on his face, which surprised Gu Xiaotian.
Could it be that Ye Wuhen was unable to teleport through space? When did he appear in his own room?
Ye Wuhen cleared his throat and said, "I asked you to come here. Some of you must know what you are going to do?"
Wen Moyin was the first to raise his hand and said: "Master, it must be that the secret realm of Ouju Haishan has been opened again."
Ye Wuhen nodded, "Exactly, the secret realm of Oju Haishan has been opened again, and all the major sects have rushed there one after another. This secret realm of Oju Haishan is a rare thing, and it may only be opened once every ten years. Maybe it will be opened once a year, and you will be considered lucky."
Gu Xiaotian still didn't know why, so he asked: "Where is Oju Haishan?"
Ye Wuhen explained: "Ouju Haishan is an extremely mysterious area in the rivers and lakes. It is said that the forces behind them are extremely powerful. If they want to initiate turmoil, maybe the whole world will be devastated, but they have not done so. They have been Guarding that place, once the secret realm is opened, everyone in the world will be allowed to go there on their own, and anyone who passes the test can enter the secret realm and seek opportunities."
Oju Haishan is a unique corner of the Bahuang Continent. They do not belong to any one power. Even if the imperial court keeps throwing olive branches to them, they remain unmoved.
According to legend, Ouju Haishan has been guarded by the Murong family for generations. The Murong family is also full of talents, but no one has ever participated in the disputes in the world.
They are like people who do not belong to this world. They only guard their own one-third of an acre of land and pay no attention to news from the outside world.
If the Imperial Court is white and the Quanwuhui is black, then Oju Haishan is the gray in the middle.
Wen Moyin spread his hands, "It's true that the scenery of Oju Haishan is pleasant, and it's true that we have a chance, but it's just a bunch of people fighting each other, which is not interesting."
Ye Wuhen said calmly: "So, this is Jianghu."
The natural people who will go to Oju Haishan this time have also been booked, including a few people present.
Ye Wuhen gave a few simple instructions, "The assessment of Oju Haishan will begin in half a month, and we will set off in three days."
...
Three days later, everyone gathered in Wuhen Cliff, but Ye Wuhen was nowhere to be seen for a long time.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they were confused.
Wen Moyin was the last to arrive, and said gloomily: "You guys are a bunch of idiots. Ouju Haishan never allows people above the Qiushui realm to enter, so the leader can't go there at all. You don't even know how to go to the foot of the mountain to look for me, and you still let me go." Am I coming to find you?"
Duan Peng suddenly realized, "No wonder Oju Haishan, as a treasure land, can stand here all year round without being violated."
Wen Moyin smiled lightly, "There are still smart people in the team, but why didn't you, a smart person, not come to the foot of the mountain to look for me?"
Duan Peng laughed awkwardly. Even though he was smart, he didn't have an open eye for things he didn't know and couldn't predict them.
Gu Xiaotian was on the side to smooth things over, "Senior Sister Wen, we were confused, so please take us there."
When Wen Moyin saw Gu Xiaotian, her eyes were like a wolf seeing a sheep, and she said in an ambiguous tone: "Junior brother Xiaotian, there is no need to apologize. I am scolding them for not being you. This is your first time and you have no experience. Senior sister can understand."
Wen Moyin stepped forward carelessly, took Gu Xiaotian's arm, and dragged Gu Xiaotian down the mountain. The two of them were talking and laughing on the way.
Of course, this is just Shang Ziqing's opinion.
In fact, Wen Moyin was talking and laughing, while Gu Xiaotian was smiling awkwardly.
But who knows that Wen Moyin is the most advanced among these people, and it is her second time to go to Oju Haishan, so it is impossible for everyone to disobey her.
Shang Ziqing gritted his teeth from behind, "When we get to Oju Haishan, I will be the first to let Wen Moyin out!"
Yuan Jing passed by Shang Ziqing, heard Shang Ziqing's words, and said slowly: "I advise you not to do it. If Senior Sister Wen gets angry, the master will be helpless against her."
At the foot of the mountain, everyone stood on the street, looking left and right.
Wen Moyin asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"
Huang Shengjie said like a fool: "Senior Sister Wen, where is the big eagle?"
"What big eagle?"
"Without the big eagle, would we have to walk to Oju Haishan Mountain?"
Wen Moyin chuckled, "Then you mean to go to Oju Haishan, there should be pick-up and drop-off?"
Huang Shengjie was confused, "What else?"
Wen Moyin shook his head and looked at Huang Shengjie as if he were a fool, "Oju Haishan is a famous treasure land. Every year, there are so many people who want to enter that they can't count. If you are too many, it is not too much. If you are too short, it is not too much." Why do I still give you preferential treatment?"
"You have to walk to Oju Haishan. When you get there, a boat will naturally come to pick you up. Let me remind you that the assessment has already started the moment you get on the boat."
Everyone nodded in understanding, Wen Moyin led the way, and everyone followed behind.
Fortunately, the road is wide and there are official roads along the way. It is not possible to walk in the mountains and forests for fear of wild beasts or bandits.
At noon.
Wen Moyin turned into a small roadside shop and sat down.
Although everyone was puzzled, they also sat down.
Wen Moyin slapped the table and said, "Waiter, serve the wine!"
The waiter in the store said: "Here comes the guest officer, please wait a moment!"
Gu Xiaotian asked hurriedly: "Senior Sister Wen, how long have you been gone before you have to drink?"
The waiter at the shop had already brought the cucumbers and peanuts, and Wen Moyin ate them one bite at a time. "It's at least a day's walk to Oju Haishan. How can we not eat and drink enough?"
The waiter also put the wine on the table, and naturally overheard the conversation between several people, "Dear guests, are you going to Oju Haishan?"
Just as Gu Xiaotian was about to nod, Wen Moyin's eyes became fierce and he glared fiercely, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't listen to what you shouldn't hear. Of course, the money will be yours."
The waiter trembled and hurriedly apologized a few times, then turned around and ran towards the store, feeling relieved.
Wen Moyin took a sip of wine and said softly: "This road is full of people leading to Oju Haishan. If someone spends money to buy information, these people will start on the road to deal with their competitors first. This store has its own It was opened here when I went to Oju Haishan five years ago. Now the waiter is still the same. He naturally regards us as first-time customers. However, he is only interested in making money. Things that can be solved with money are more worry-free. , so this is also an unwritten rule.”
Everyone nodded to show their understanding, and everyone became wary.
After all, this was their first time out in Taibai, so they were still too careless about things in the world.
While everyone was drinking and eating meat, they saw a group of people coming from behind.
Among these people, there were four men and one woman. One of the men with the most ferocious face also slapped the table and shouted to the waiter to serve wine and food.
When the waiter saw the business coming, he stood beside him with food and wine and asked, "Dear guests, are you going to Oju Haishan?"
The man with the most ferocious face in the group suddenly drew his knife and put it on the waiter's neck. "Ask what you should ask, but don't ask what you shouldn't. Don't you know who I am?"
