"There is a saying: There are dragons and tigers flying on Diqiu Mountain, and wind and thunder are heard in Panyang City. Counting from the beginning in the past twelve years, who else will I see on the white horse and Qinghong?"
Snapped.
There were scattered figures in the tea houses on the roadside, and two or three shouts came from the street.
Then I saw a tall and thin old man wearing a blue indigo gown. He stood down from Xingmu with a serious look on his face and said, "Dear readers, it is the time of the Immortal Sect Conference now, and our Panyang City is full of turmoil. It must be very lively for such a big event. Everyone is paying attention, starting today, I will tell you all about these heroes in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"
"You readers are probably thinking, this Seven Stars Mansion Newspaper has clearly recorded it, so why do you need to elaborate on it? Hey, there are so many heroic deeds of young people in the Nine Heavens, Ten Earths, and Four Seas Immortal Sects, how can they be compared to that small book of the Mansion Newspaper? Can you record it in detail? Did you know that the Penglai Dragon traveled thousands of miles, not to catch monsters, but to find out the true appearance of the witch? The Fairy of Shushan went to the south of the Yangtze River six times, crossing the nine gates and eight formations of the sea of swords, and who was she looking for? ;The infatuation of the disciples of the Sword Sect, the sadomasochistic love between the two monks of Yunque..."
"..."
He was talking lively here, and the tea drinkers below were also listening intently. There were even a few circles standing around outside to join in the fun, and they were talking a lot.
"It turns out that Yang Shenlong also had such a story with the female cultivator of the Demon Sect. I thought he was a serious person..."
"Can Jiang Yuebai's story be true? How come I heard that she is in love with a fellow disciple?"
"That disciple is Chu Liang, the young hero of the Divine Whip!" When he mentioned this, the people next to him became more energetic, "The demons made trouble during the last prisoner sacrifice ceremony, and my father at home was saved thanks to the young hero of the Divine Whip! This time the immortal In the sect competition, I am optimistic that he will win the championship for Shushan!"
"It's difficult..." A knowledgeable person behind him immediately shook his head, "Did you know that the four Immortal Sect Conferences before Shushan have not entered the top ten, and are about to fall out of the nine days. Their goal this time is just to break into the top ten. That’s all. The battle between Chu and Liang to become famous was nothing more than relying on the purple and green swords. My own cultivation is considered to be first-rate among the immortal sects, but it is not enough to win the first place."
In theory, the Fairy Gate Conference does not prohibit the use of any magic weapon, elixir, or talisman. After all, being able to use these props well is also an aspect of strength.
Except for the top 100 artifacts in Wanbaolu.
Because in these duels of the younger generation, artifacts of this level can already erase all gaps. Once let go, it will eventually become more powerful than which sect's reserve of artifacts, and the immortal sects will only need to find ways to let their disciples control higher-level artifacts, losing the original meaning of the competition.
"What are you talking about?" Another person immediately jumped out to retort, "I don't think the purple and green swords can be compared to his magic whip. Long before Chu Liang became famous, there were Xu Ziyang and Jiang Yuebai in Shushan. These three Individual characters are not simple, even a dog can be in the top ten."
"Is it really that powerful?" Some people still don't believe it.
"Hey, haven't you heard about the whip of Young Master Divine Whip? One stroke will make the body lighter, and ten strokes will prolong life. If you can whip it for seven, seven and forty-nine days, you can live forever!"
"Oh, how is this possible?" These words immediately attracted everyone's sneers, and one person refuted loudly: "If you can live forever, why bother to attend some fairy sect conference... But it is true that it can restore a man's glory. .”
"Really?" More people turned around, "I... I have a friend. Next time I see the Divine Whip Young Hero, I have to ask him to give me a slap."
"..."
These people were shouting, but no one paid attention to them for a while, and a car that had just stopped by the teahouse started to move slowly again. Just now the coachman went down to take a drink in the tea house, and now he got back on the coach again.
…
In the spacious compartment of this carriage, Chu Liang's eyes were slightly dim, as if he was dozing.
Wang Xuanling, the leader of the peaks, still had the same expression as before, sitting opposite him.
Next to Wang Xuanling was Xu Ziyang, who had an upright posture and sat very straight. His face was also calm and indifferent, very similar to the master next to him.
Next to him was Ling Ao. At this moment, Ling Ao had only a short hair left, and he looked silent and sharp. He seems to like to sharpen his will every time he encounters a failure. Over and over again, he has become what he is now.
Opposite Ling Ao is Jiang Yuebai, who is dressed in white. Her hair hangs down from her shoulders, her eyes are watery, and she is indescribably beautiful.
When the carriage stopped just now, everyone naturally heard the discussion outside. After being silent for a long time, Ling Ao glanced at Chu Liang after the carriage drove out for a while.
"Really?" he suddenly asked.
Chu Liang, who was asleep, seemed not to hear it, but his brows furrowed slightly.
Pfft.
Jiang Yuebai's laughter came to his ears.
"Young Master Divine Whip..." Xu Ziyang couldn't help but muttered with a smile.
Although they had heard about Chu Liang's previous rescues, not many people in Shushan knew about the name Divine Whip Young Hero. After all, Chu Liang would not really hang up those banners for outsiders to see.
Unexpectedly, he was so popular in Yudu City.
The corners of Wang Xuanling's mouth twitched slightly, but they were quickly smoothed away by him.
"Uncle Wang, just laugh if you want." Chu Liang covered his face in resignation, "It's really tiring to hold it in."
Pfft.
A rare smile appeared on Wang Xuanling's old face that had been tense for many years.
"Then I can't bear it anymore." Ling Ao said with a smile.
"You've been laughing...never stopped." Chu Liang said speechlessly.
If I had known earlier that when I was rescuing people, it would be better to give the detoxifying whip to others and not come forward myself. Well now, this matter has not only made the people of Yudu talk about it for a lifetime, but also made up various outrageous versions.
Doing evil.
When you mention others, you are like the Penglai Dragon or the Shushan Fairy, when you mention yourself, you are the Divine Whip Young Hero...
What do people think when they hear this name for the first time?
He wanted to explain, but he could only say something like "this whip is not that whip" and "it's all rumors". But everyone became happier after hearing this, and the carriage was filled with a happy atmosphere for a while.
For the people in Shushan, the atmosphere was rarely so relaxed.
In the past two months, they have conducted some harsh special training in Master Wen Yuan's secret territory of Hongmeng. At this moment, everyone's temperament is slightly different from before, looking more calm and refined, with a hint of fatigue mixed in.
Although tomorrow is the beginning of the Immortal Sect Conference, they are not in a hurry. Instead, they can have a good rest for a few days.
Because there are three links in the Immortal Sect Conference, namely the General Election of the Four Seas, the Battle of the Hundred Sects for Hegemony, and the Battle of the Imperial City.
Among them, the Sihai General Election is conducted through an arena. Eighty-one teams are competed from among hundreds of forces from all over the world, and only they can participate in the next stage.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are similar to seed players and do not need to participate in this general election. In addition to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, even the teams of the royal family and Supervisory Government must pass the audition to advance, which also shows the honor of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
There will no longer be any privileges in the following Hundred Sects Competition. All forces will compete fairly and the ten strongest teams will be selected to enter the final battle of the imperial city.
The Shushan sect fell in the second round for four consecutive years.
Because he repeatedly missed the battle for the Imperial City, he was even given the nickname "Imperial City Guard" by other disciples of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, that is, the person who guards the Imperial City. Regarding this point, Shushan disciples have never been convinced.
After all, the doorkeeper also has to stand inside the door...
Although they did not need to participate in the first round, Chu Liang and the others arrived at Yudu City one day in advance, preparing to familiarize themselves with the environment and atmosphere and observe their future opponents. In almost every session, dark horses emerge from the auditions and then perform well. They must not take it lightly.
As soon as they arrived outside the gate of Yudu City, people and horses arranged by the imperial court were already here to meet them and drove them to Diqiu to settle down.
…
Diqiu.
This is the land of Longxing where the founder of the Yu Dynasty unearthed the Panyang ancient jade. Although it is just an inconspicuous hill outside Yudu City, it is of great significance.
The Ancestral Temple of the Yu Dynasty was built on the top of Diqiu Mountain. Every spring, the emperor would come here with his clan and officials to hold ceremonies. If there are any major events, such as wars and natural disasters, sacrifices will also be required in the Ancestral Temple.
Therefore, there is an emperor's palace halfway up the mountain, and there are many houses and residences outside the palace, all for the emperor and officials to spend the night.
The Hundred Sects Competition in the Immortal Sect Conference was held in Emperor Qiu.
Of course, the emperor would not let a group of practitioners fight in his ancestral temple. At that time, the disciples of the Immortal Sect will duel in a secret realm, and the foot of Diqiu Mountain is the place to watch the ceremony, and will not disturb the Ancestral Temple on the mountain.
This place was chosen, firstly, because it was inconvenient for so many practitioners to gather in the city, and secondly, this place could also show the importance the imperial court attached to the Immortal Sect Conference.
The special treatment of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is that they can be placed in the residence halfway up the Diqiu Mountain, where they can relax and wait for work in advance.
The carriage arrived at the foot of Emperor Qiu and then went up the straight mountain road. It didn't take long to reach the residence. After all, the mountain was not that big.
When everyone got out of the car, there was already a young palace official leading the crowd to greet them.
Before they could meet him, the driver of the car came over first, with an embarrassed smile, and asked Chu Liang in a low voice: "Young Master Chu, I was embarrassed to ask just now, is your magic whip... really that effective? ?”
Seeing his sincere and eager smile, Chu Liang could only tell the truth: "Brother, you still have to see the doctor about this matter."
The coachman left in despair, and everyone continued to move forward with the palace man.
There are a number of low and simple houses on both sides of the road here, which look rather shabby at first glance. After all, it was the place where officials stayed when they offered sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple, so it naturally had to be simple and not too luxurious.
The welcoming team was standing on the roadside.
"My servant Lao Fangrong is responsible for taking care of the affairs of the palace here. Today, I will lead Master Wang Xian and the four young heroes to stay. Please come with me." The young palace man stepped forward to say hello.
Chu Liang was wondering that he was young, dressed in brocade clothes, and seemed to have a high rank. When he heard his name, he immediately knew it.
This is probably the godson of Rolex.
"Thank you, Eunuch." Wang Xuanling nodded as a gift.
The first of all the peaks in Shu Mountain is still quite majestic in front of outsiders. With his hands behind his back and his brows solemn, he has the air of an immortal master.
The palace man then led everyone forward, passing through the simple houses on both sides, and passing by a rare courtyard with a fence and a loft, when he suddenly heard a cry from inside: "Jiang... Young Master Chu, you guys Shushan has also arrived?"
Everyone turned around and saw several strong young men standing in the courtyard. One of the familiar faces was none other than Feng Chaoyang of the Heavenly King Sect.
After not seeing him for many days, Feng Chaoyang's eyes were bright at the moment, and he had obviously just gone through some hard training.
As for the three young men next to him, Chu Liang didn't know them. But it doesn't matter, we have long heard that the Tianwang Sect's current generation team is Feng Chaoyang and his three pendants.
Feng Chaoyang seemed to see Jiang Yuebai at first glance... This was normal. Jiang Yuebai was always the first person seen in the crowd. Then when he was about to call out, he suddenly saw Chu Liang next to Jiang Yuebai, and he had no choice but to change his mind.
"Brother Feng is full of energy. It seems that his cultivation has improved a lot." Chu Liang also smiled back.
"Hehe, you don't know if you can win in the conference, but you will lose in choosing a place to live." Feng Chaoyang said with a smile: "There is only one place with a yard in this area, let's take it first."
"I'll let you take the lead," Chu Liang said with a smile.
Looking around, this area is full of simple houses, no better than his cabin in Shushan. The only small attic with a courtyard is indeed the one occupied by Feng Chaoyang and the others.
"The conditions here are indeed a bit crude. It's not that the court doesn't pay attention to it. It's just that the Ancestral Temple is above and the courtiers don't dare to be extravagant." The palace man explained to everyone: "This courtyard is also the residence of the Prison King, so the regulations are slightly higher. .”
"Practice people don't value external things, these are indifferent." Wang Xuanling said. He had been here many times from participating in it when he was young to leading the team after becoming the leader. It was not surprising to him. He pointed out : "Then we'll live next to the Tianwang Sect."
Shushan had a good relationship with the Tianwang Sect. Since they both greeted each other here, he thought he might as well become neighbors.
Unexpectedly, the palace man suddenly said: "Master Wang Xian, it's not that the servants are blocking it. It's just that your Shushan sect's residence has been arranged, and it's not here."
"Huh?" Wang Xuanling looked at him, "Where is that?"
Lao Fangrong gently raised his hand and pointed to a place at the end of the road ahead, halfway up the mountain, and then said respectfully: "There."
Everyone turned their eyes and looked surprised.
Not for anything else, just because the green tiles, white walls, pavilions and pavilions there, and the solemn style are out of place here.
It is a palace.
