Cangyan Mountain.
A blue light flew from the golden dome, and finally hovered in the air ten meters in front of Luo Chuan and his party. In the light was a light blue flying sword, with a tall young female Taoist standing on it. !
I saw that the female Taoist was wearing a light sky blue ethereal Taoist robe, with green silk tied into a single snail on the top, and a wooden hairpin inserted very casually. Her long hair behind her was flowing in the wind, her eyebrows were beautiful, her eyes were almond-shaped, and her lips were like cherries. The chill in her movements that could not be seen from thousands of miles away gave this scene of wielding a sword in the air a full fairy air that could only be seen from a distance.
The female Taoist glanced at everyone, and then fixed her gaze on Luo Chuan, who was smiling. There was no emotion on his cold face, "Headmaster of Cangyan Sword Sect, please invite Mr. Li County and his party to go up the mountain."
Luo Chuan looked at the woman in front of him, nodded slightly and said in a gentle voice, "Fairy, please lead the way."
The female Taoist looked at Luo Chuan expressionlessly for a moment, then waved her sleeves and dropped them on the road not far from everyone. She looked back and walked straight towards the back mountain.
Luochuan turned his head to look at Siqi, who was quietly following him. He saw that she was just frowning slightly and staring at the back of the female Taoist, thinking deeply. He couldn't help but feel good, "Let's go and take a good tour of this mountain. It's not always possible to visit the blessed land of the Immortal Family." Come on," he said in a low voice to the ferocious-looking Taoist priest beside him as he walked in the direction of the female Taoist priest, "This fairy really has the demeanor of a worldly master."
The ferocious-looking Taoist priest gave him a funny look but said nothing.
Luo Chuan was not embarrassed, so he just put his hands behind his back and looked around. The group of people really looked like leisurely tourists.
After coming out of the front mountain, we walked all the way down. We walked through a forest valley that was not too deep before heading back up. When we reached the back mountain, the forest road was not as wide as the front mountain. There were only stones one or two meters wide along the way. Some of the trails, some with slightly flat terrain, are simply dirt and gravel mountain roads, which are not much better than the mountain roads on the Lijun Ancient Road.
There are lush trees in the valley, including alpine pine forests and cold spruce trees. Even in winter, the big trees still make people feel full of vitality.
As you go higher, the trees gradually become sparse, until you get close to the main peak of Cang Yan, the brown, gray and dark brown surroundings give you the impression of the wilderness of the southwest. Looking at the snowy peaks and golden summits in the distance, it makes people feel extraordinary.
The mountain is steep and the mountain road is getting more and more difficult to walk. Fortunately, even the weakest blood knight among the group has a warrior's physique. Although wearing the knight's armor is a little cumbersome, it is not difficult to move forward.
The female guide led the way without saying a word, and everyone hurried on without saying a word. It didn't take much time to arrive at the sect's location on the mountainside. There are many palaces and pavilions built against the mountain on the sunny side, among which The ones at the highest point are already suspended castles in the air. They cannot be said to be very imposing, but they are quite harmonious with the surrounding scenery. The beauty of the mountain is not damaged by artificial traces.
The most conspicuous among the buildings is naturally the main hall in the center.
The main hall is extremely high and the front of the hall is extremely wide. Only after climbing dozens of steps did Luo Chuan and his party truly see the scenery inside the hall.
I saw that the main hall was very empty, with a depth of twenty or thirty meters. There was a huge statue enshrined in the center of the hall. Standing in front of the hall door, only half of it could be seen.
There was no one guarding the front of the hall, so the female Taoist led everyone straight into the hall.
After entering the temple, I discovered that the tall statue, which was more than ten meters tall, depicted an old man with a posture as tall as a pine tree. The old man's brows were deep and neither sad nor happy. One hand was tied with sword fingerprints, the other was raised flat, and there was a symbol on it. The flying sword pointed directly at the sky, its momentum was overwhelming.
Under the statue, three old men wearing simple robes were standing there, watching the visitor.
The female Taoist walked to the three people and bowed, then stood aside and waited.
Luo Chuan moved his eyes away from the huge statue, glanced at the three old men and bowed as a junior, "Junior Luo Chuan, I have met three real people."
Behind him, the old coachman and Siqi also performed the junior salute, and the ten blood knights all performed the knight salute.
"You don't have to be polite," the one who spoke was the middle one among the three old men. His voice was calm and there was no hint of age, "Master Luochuan, come closer and talk."
Luo Chuan didn't hesitate and walked forward for a while. He stopped only a few meters away from the three old men. After taking a closer look, he realized that the three old men in front of him looked too much alike.
The same simple dress, the same hair accessories and high crown, the same white eyebrows and long beard, the same sinking face.
He looks ordinary, but his eyes are full of light.
If we have to look for one difference among the three people, it is that the old man in the middle has a very conspicuous black mole between his eyebrows. , even if the flying sword is sheathed, the sword energy is still powerful, and the old man on his right is holding a whisk in his hand, looking the most indifferent.
When Luo Chuan was looking at the three old men, they were also looking at him. Being stared at coldly by such three Taoists with unfathomable strength made Luo Chuan a little nervous even with his two lifetime experiences.
As if sensing Luo Chuan's discomfort, the old man in the middle spoke slowly, his voice much softer, "Don't be nervous," he said slowly as he glanced around the hall, "Young Master has come a long way, so it stands to reason that you should stand here. It’s not the way to treat guests, but the Cangyan Sword Sect made a rule when it first established the religion. No one can sit in front of the statue of Zu Lu, so that’s why. Young Master, don’t think that the three old Taoists are making things difficult for you.”
"Junior dare not," Luo Chuan raised his head and glanced at the giant statue again. He didn't know whether it was because of the extraordinary craftsmanship of the statue, or because he really respected Lu Zu, the pinnacle of humanity, in this life. He had always had a gaze on him since he entered the door just now. He kept looking at the statue and wanted to see every detail, "Needless to say the junior's heartfelt admiration for Lu Zu, even the three seniors should not have the junior's seat at the moment."
The old man in the middle started talking about something else, "The prefect has sent a letter to report what happened to the young master on his way back from Zhongjing City. Although the Cangyan Sword Sect has always ignored the secular world, after all, it involves an incoming demon. The Cangyan Sword Sect should give the young master a warning." Explain."
"Senior, there is no need to be like this. Although I am stupid, I can still judge the reasons. How can I blame the Cangyan Sword Sect? In the final analysis, it is because I have a special status." Luo Chuan said frankly, "This time I took the liberty to come to pay homage to the mountain. It’s because I was granted the title of Magistrate of Cangyan County, and I feel that if I could meet with my seniors and ask for advice before taking office, I would probably be able to avoid a lot of detours.”
"Lao Dao and others are also aware of the fact that the young master has been appointed as the magistrate of Cangyan County." The old man in the middle showed no change in his face, and only a hint of kindness could be heard in his voice. "The position of the magistrate of Cangyan County is vacant." "Jiu, we really need a courageous nobleman to come here, but the old Taoist has always understood the prefect's difficulties. Now, the prefect is willing to let the young master come, and it really can't be any better."
Luo Chuan was silent for a while and then asked directly, "What do seniors think juniors should do?"
The old man in the middle remained silent for a moment and then slowly said, "I don't know, the young master should ask the prefect for advice, and the Cangyan Sword Sect should support him."
Luo Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest with you, senior, this junior has been living in the central capital for a long time. When he came back, he only saw two sides of the prefect, so he hurriedly came to Cangyan to take up his post. He originally wanted to be a wealthy idler, but he also wanted to do more for the people. , since you want to do something in Cangyan, you will inevitably need the full support of your seniors and the Cangyan Sword Sect!"
"Full support... It's not impossible..." the old man in the middle said. Luo Chuan didn't react at all, but the two old men standing on both sides of the old man looked over. .....
