After a short rest, everyone set off again. However, Han Yu and Mei Niang seemed to be becoming more and more cautious, and their traveling speed was obviously slowing down. Sure enough, the black thread in Hongkun's hand was quickly pulled, and he quickly stopped. After a while, Han Yu and Mei Niang ran back.
"The mountain gate is ahead! Someone is guarding there! It doesn't look like Fat Niu'er and the others are from him!" Han Yu said with some uncertainty.
"Should?!" Hongkun asked.
"They are all dressed up as Taoist priests. None of Fat Girl is dressed like that, so I feel... But I can't say for sure, maybe... I think it's better to be careful!"
"It's better to be cautious! They didn't notice you, right?" Hongkun nodded.
"No! How could they pay attention to us when we are in the grass? This place is really weird! There is mist in front of the mountain gate and you can't see your fingers, but behind the mountain gate there is a clear sky. If it were you, you would be discovered as soon as you enter."
"Can you go around it?" Mo Yan interrupted.
"How to go around? There is only one mountain road!" Mei Niang shook the fox's head.
"Brother Turtle?" Mo Yan suddenly smiled at Han Yu, who immediately nodded desperately.
"Huh?" The turtle behind Yibing couldn't help but get excited.
"Take us flying again! Just go around the mountain gate!" Mo Yan's voice was so beautiful that Mei Niang couldn't help but shudder. The turtle in the cloth bag was so comfortable that he almost collapsed.
"Can't you..." Mo Yan said to himself resentfully. Hongkun couldn't help but frown, this little girl!
"Okay... okay... okay..." The divine turtle jumped directly over Yibing's head, and there was a heavy "snap".
"Brother Turtle, are you okay?" Mo Yan quickly squatted down.
"...It's ok...It's ok...it's ok..." The turtle gritted his teeth in obvious pain.
"Hehehe..." Han Yu laughed so hard that his rabbit ears twitched.
"Why don't you come up quickly!" The turtle glared at Han Yu awkwardly, and in an instant it became as big as a carriage.
"What did I say wrong? Is it that funny?" Mo Yan asked Han Yu curiously.
"It's not you, it's your turtle brother! He has met his nemesis!" Han Yu winked at the rabbit slyly.
"Who?"
"You!"
As soon as everyone sat down, the turtle impatiently jumped into the air. It rushed straight out of the mountain road. In the smoke, everyone could not see anything and could only feel the breeze in their ears. This time, the turtle flew extremely steadily and completely silently.
After flying beyond the clouds and mist, everyone realized that what Han Yu said was true. The mountain gate is like a dividing line. Outside the gate is a vast expanse of white, but inside the gate is clouds and fog. The entire top of the mountain is like a fairyland with pavilions, green trees, gurgling water, singing birds and dancing butterflies. In order not to be discovered by others, the turtle made a big circle and cleverly went around the back of the mountain, and then slowly moved towards the top of the mountain.
"The tallest palace has a garden behind it!" Han Yu looked down at his chin carefully.
The turtle immediately dived and flew quickly towards the garden.
The turtle landed perfectly, and landed quietly in the corner of the garden.
The garden was particularly fragrant, the leaves were swaying in the wind, and it was so quiet that only the low chirping of insects could be heard. In the center of the garden is a round pond, with an arc-shaped covered bridge crossing the pond, cleverly dividing it into left and right sides. One side is filled with lotus flowers, and the other side is crystal clear, just like a Tai Chi. . The pond is surrounded by corridors, with the vermilion gate of the garden at one end and the jade pavilions at the four corners.
"I'm tired of flying, I have to find a place to rest for a while!" The turtle didn't want to say anything else, so he "sneaked out" and got into the flowers on the side.
"Brother Turtle..." Mo Yan couldn't help shouting.
"Don't worry about it, it's like this every time..." Mei Niang quickly stopped Mo Yan. Mo Yan glanced at Hongkun, who pursed his lips and said nothing.
"You guys wait here for a while, let's go out and explore first!" Han Yu had already observed carefully when he was in the air, and after leaving the garden, he should be in the backyard.
Han Yu and Mei Niang first stared at the crack in the door for a long time, then gently pushed the garden door open and cautiously got out. In front of it is a quiet small backyard. The main room and the side rooms seem to be occupied by people, but now they are empty.
After leaving the backyard, there is a hillside with flowers blooming on it. A bluestone staircase winds up and a majestic hall stands majestically on the top of the hill. It seems that that should be the main hall.
Han Yu is in front, Mei Niang is behind, a rabbit and a fox are tiptoeing through the flowers. As soon as I arrived in front of the palace gate, I heard noisy voices coming from inside.
"Why don't we take our turn?!"
"Elder brother, it's not necessarily the case, us? Humph!"
"After taking in so many people, it's okay to share a little, right?"
"Stop being delusional and just keep guarding with peace of mind!"
"What are you guarding? Will anyone come to rescue you? Even if you come, you will be taken into the tower as usual."
"Hehe, that Mr. Taimiao is really stupid too!"
"Yes, she believes whatever Master says!"
Han Yu and Mei Niang quickly slipped to the door and looked around. It turned out that there were five little Taoist priests arguing inside. They all hold swords and seem to be guarding something!
Mei Niang poked Han Yu with her paw, and Han Yu hurriedly followed her gaze, only to find a half-foot-tall golden pagoda placed among the five little Taoist priests. The pagoda has five floors, each with six corners, and is very beautifully crafted.
At this moment, a person suddenly walked out of the hall, and the five little Taoist priests immediately shut up and remained silent. Han Yu took one look and quickly pushed Mei Niang, and the two of them quickly ran back to the garden.
"It should be someone from the Zhengjia sect. I saw that Ye Boyang!" Han Yu said hurriedly. The person who entered the hall just now was none other than Ye Boyang, who was on fire at the Immortal Cultivation Conference!
"Ye Boyang?! Then it's okay!" Yibing immediately said happily.
"We didn't see anyone from the Wuyun Sect!" Han Yu shook the rabbit's head.
"No way! The Zhengjia sect and the Wuyun sect can't be considered the same sect after all..." Suddenly thinking about the Guiyuan Cave, Yipian couldn't help but start to be vague.
"We saw a few little Taoist priests guarding a half-foot-tall five-story golden pagoda. They said Master Taimiao was so stupid for believing their master's words, and they also said they had accepted many people." Mei Niang interrupted hurriedly.
"It's broken!" Cheng Yan said and looked at Hongkun, who immediately nodded.
"What?" Mo Yan was a little anxious.
"Fat Niuer and the others were probably taken into the pagoda. If that's the case, soon, their souls would either be gone or they would be refined into golden elixirs!" Han Yu quickly explained.
"Then why don't you hurry up and save him?" Mo Yan drew his sword in his hand with a bang.
"How many people are there?" Hongkun asked.
"There are six people in the main hall. Except for Ye Boyang, the others should be easy to deal with. However, I don't know how many people are outside the hall!" Mei Niang replied immediately.
Hongkun didn't speak. He thought deeply for a moment, and then took out the cloth bag given by his uncle from his arms.
"Brother Turtle! Brother Turtle!" Hongkun called in a low voice into the grass.
"What?" A black shadow "sneaked out" and arrived at his feet. Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, when did this turtle become so obedient and obedient.
"Please keep this bag for a while. If anything happens to us, please open the bag!"
"I know! Throw it on the ground!" the turtle said impatiently.
"Okay!" Hongkun quickly put his bag on the ground. The turtle picked it up and disappeared into the grass.
"How to open it?" Mo Yan asked curiously. Hongkun couldn't help but be stunned.
"Use your mouth!" Han Yu and Mei Niang shouted in unison. Mo Yan was so scared that he stuck out his tongue.
It was Han Yu and Mei Niang who were exploring the way ahead, while Hong Kun and others followed closely behind. Mo Yan looked particularly excited. If Cheng Yan hadn't pulled her, she would have been ahead.
When they arrived outside the palace gate, everyone listened for a long time but did not hear the words of the little Taoist priests. Looking around, it turned out that they were all sitting around the pagoda, falling asleep one by one, and Ye Boyang ran away to nowhere.
Hongkun stretched out two fingers and pointed at himself first, then stretched out a finger and pointed at everyone one by one. Seeing everyone nodding silently, he turned to Cheng Yan again, stretched out a finger, pointed at her, and then pointed at his mouth. Cheng Yan nodded immediately. Although Yibing and Moyan didn't understand, they didn't dare to ask, and then they sneaked into the hall quietly.
Yibing and Moyan were quite honest, and they knocked them unconscious when they stepped forward. After Hongkun knocked the two of them unconscious, he quickly turned to Cheng Yan. As expected, she had a sword across her neck and covered the little Taoist priest's mouth with the other. Hongkun nodded hurriedly in approval. Yibing and Moyan just woke up from a dream. It turned out that they wanted to stay alive!
"If you dare to shout, I will stab you to death immediately!" Hongkun's sword was pressed against the little Taoist priest's chest. The little Taoist priest immediately nodded vigorously. Cheng Yan immediately let go of his mouth.
"Are you from the Zhengjia sect?"
"yes!"
"Why come to Jiuxishan?"
"According to the master's order, destroy the Wuyun Sect who is in league with the demon!"
"Associating with demons?"
"Yes, they colluded with the seven-tailed fox and tried to murder fellow Taoists!"
If Han Yu hadn't stepped on her tail, Mei Niang would have bitten the little Taoist priest's throat.
"Where is Master Taimiao?"
The little Taoist priest said nothing and looked down at the golden pagoda at his feet.
"What about the rest?"
"It's all in the tower!"
"Why do you say Master Taimiao is so stupid?" Han Yu couldn't help but ask, and the little Taoist priest was so frightened that he almost jumped up.
"We caught her disciples. The master said that if she took the initiative to be taken into the pagoda, she would not kill her disciples and would let them go. As a result, Taimiao Zhenren really believed it and was taken into the pagoda. Inside. Then, the master... took all her disciples in too!" The little Taoist priest stared at the talking rabbit on the ground in horror.
"How many days will it take to practice?" Hongkun asked hurriedly.
"Three days, as long as you are taken into the pagoda, you will be refined into a golden elixir in three days!"
"What day is it today?" Yibing asked with a pale face.
"The third day..." The little Taoist priest's lips trembled nervously.
"How to release it?" The sword in Hongkun's hand pierced the little Taoist priest's clothes.
"I don't know! I really don't know! Only Master knows. Ah..." Before the little Taoist could finish his words, he was knocked unconscious by Hongkun.
"Smash!" Cheng Yan suddenly stared at Yibing and said.
"Yes! That's magic iron!" Hongkun immediately understood what Cheng Yan meant.
"Okay!" Yibing hurriedly turned the sword in his hand into a big axe, and swung it hard.
"Hoo!" There was a sound, but it was not the sound of a pancake swinging an axe. A sudden wave of heat came from behind.
"Who is coming?" Fortunately, Hongkun turned around and was pushed out by a wall of fire, otherwise everyone would have turned into roasted pigs immediately!
When the flames collided, Yibing realized that the person coming was Ye Boyang. He waved the sword in his hand vigorously, but the flames emitted were obviously not as fierce as Hongkun's. He hurriedly made the formula in his hands and muttered silently, and in an instant it turned into two flames, and his troops attacked Hongkun from left to right.
"Humph!" Before Cheng Yan could hum, he waved the sword in his hand, and a strong wind suddenly blew up, causing the two flames to immediately turn around and burn towards Ye Boyang himself.
"Oops!" Ye Boyang abandoned his sword and retreated hastily, but his eyebrows were all burnt.
"Boyang, step back!" At some point, a middle-aged Taoist priest had already stood behind Ye Boyang. I saw him wearing a white robe, a Taoist crown on his head, cloud shoes on his feet, floating dust on his back, holding a sword, and three long beards floating on his chest.
"Feixu... Taoist Priest!" Yibing hurriedly said in Hongkun's ear.
"Who is coming?" Hongkun shouted loudly.
"Taoist Master Feixu of Zhengjia Sect! Don't you know your friend's surname?" Taoist Feixu looked at everyone, especially the rabbit and fox on the ground.
"Banyue Dun Hongkun!" Hongkun couldn't help but hold the sword tightly. This is Ye Boyang's master, he must be very powerful.
"Oh, I've heard about the name for a long time! What trick?" Taoist Master Feixu frowned.
"you..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Release the Taimiao Master quickly, otherwise..." Mo Yan jumped up immediately.
"What else?" Taoist priest Feixu said with a smile.
"You are guilty of murdering a fellow sect member. Your crime is unforgivable and you must be punished!" Hongkun raised the tip of his sword.
"Conspiracy to murder fellow disciples? They are working with demons and trying to murder upright fellow Taoists. We are just cleaning up the family!"
"You are talking nonsense! You are the ones who are working with monsters! The fellow Taoists who previously collaborated with the Jade-faced Man to murder the Immortal Cultivation Conference are now here to murder fellow disciples of the Wuyun Sect!" Mei Niang couldn't help shouting.
"Nonsense!" Taoist Priest Feixu's expression suddenly changed. He always thought that no one knew about his collusion with Jade Face Langjun.
"Hey! If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing!" In fact, Mei Niang was not very sure, but his quick look confirmed her own thoughts.
"Then you can't blame me!" Taoist Master Feixu suddenly sneered.
